.KX 'snip'-ff ARROW arouses interests Retaining the news magazine lay- out style introduced last year, The Arrow was on target to capture the news of Thornwood. A total of 15 issues were printed bimonthly by the 17 staff members and students in the Journalism I class who served as reporters. Editor-in-Chief J an Krause and advisor Mrs. Dorothy Ivey headed the staff and tried to create student interest among Thornwood stu- dents. The Arrow charted an in- crease in sales due to a combination of new ideas and improved journalis- tic skills. The paper carried more in- depth feature stories, an abundance of artwork, improved photography, and a better organization of the pa- per's different sections. A variety of people also added to the success of The Arrow. As Jan Krause ex- plained, We have a cross section of people bringing a much broader if t xg: , v k 5. 1 I st if 4 A View from all areas of the school. We are able to appeal to more stu- dents. Advertising was the newspapers only form of fundraising. Because of a cut in budgets, the staff had to sell space to various businesses to pay for the production of The Arrow. The Christmas Personal sales proved to be the most successful money making project. A record to- tal of S415 worth of messages was sold which paid for the Christmas issue. The largest task tackled by the staff was a special 32 page Tenth Anniversary edition of The Arrow. The paper was distributed on Janu- ary 16th and also at the celebration held on January 29th. A number of surveys and hours of research were put in to produce a review of Thorn- wood's first decade. 1 iit ,fi if 'Wa' Q Above Left: Making last minute changes, edi- tor-in-chief Jan Krause pastes up a final col- umn.

Yearbook creates a melange Trying to capture a year's worth of memories as naturally and su- spensefully as possible the Th under- bird staff worked many long hours writing copy, choosing pictures, and drawing up preliminary and final layouts. One of the many obstacles the staff had to overcome was an illness known as lazy-itis. Motivating the people to work was the difficult task that Editor-in-chief Angela Schroeder and sponsor Mrs. Veidre Thomas had committed themselves to. Working long hours on week- ends and into all hours of the night, Angela commented, I only wish all the staffers were as dedicated as 3 3 ,M -A Above: One of the many jobs of the Editor-in- Chief is proofreading final layouts as Angela Schroeder discovers.

Another great problem facing the staff was the lack of money and the apathy to have fund-raisers. In traditional form the staff decid- ed on the navy blue and gold cover to commemorate the Tenth Anni- versary of Thornwood. Feature sto- ries again filled the album section and through them the staff hoped to show the uniqueness of the 1980- 1981 school year. Not only was the yearbook a me- lange of ideas, photos, articles and .2 opinions, but it expressed the me- lange of individuals who created and gathered these elements together. ,VY 4. . Qgk 'EA
