Ms. Erickson has taught the class for two years, coordinating deadlines and assignments. She also has final approval for the articles which appear in the paper. The class consists of twenty-two student reporters who spend most of their class time collecting and gathering information for the Wildcat Weekly. Articles which appear every week include: the student poll, mystery student, and coverage of the sports teams. Much of the credit for the class must go to the Three Rivers Commercial which donates the space in their paper for our Wildcat Weekly. Yearbook and newspaper sraff 29

Mrs. Erickson checks Kyle Griffith ' s grade while Jack Pyritz shows off his new shirt- Taking it easy A.ew students realize how much work goes into the production of their year- books. Each year pictures must be taken and lay-outs completed. Articles must be written. A new cover must be designed. Ads must be sold as well as the yearbooks themselves. There are also the time- consuming jobs of compiling the index and tallying surveys. Finally, there is constant pressure to meet deadlines— this is the toughest of all! This year emphasis was placed on creating more attractive lay-outs, writing more informative clitlines, and composing copy that was more interesting than in the past. The theme itself placed greater em- phasis on the students and teachers as peop e — not just as students and teachers. The staff worked very hard this year to try and make the yearbook the best possi- ble. A lot of effort was necessary— eight pages were added this year, including something new for TRHS REFLECTOR- features. They were designed to add in- terest to the book.

What is it? W ell it ' s horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and rabbits; it ' s art and 4-H exhibits; it ' s games; it ' s stage shows; it ' s stomach churning rides; it ' s junk food (caramel apples, pizza, cotton candy, pop- corn, elephant ears); and it ' s a lot more too. It ' s the annual St. Joseph County Fair held at the fairgrounds in Centreville. Nearly all T.R.H.S. students go to the fair for one reason or another. Some go just to enjoy the rides, games, and food. But a good number of our students have a deeper, and more personal reason for at- tending the fair. Many of our students are 4-H members who show animals, farm produce, arts and crafts, photography, and creative writing at the fair. These students work hard all year round to prepare for the fair. They spend most of fair week on the fair grounds. Those with animals are constantly groom- ing, feeding, and otherwise caring for them. Some even sleep over with their hopeful-prize-winners. There are many dif- ferent things which the animals and other entries are judged on, and all the par- ticipants wish fervently for first place and best of show. What ' s a fair without a ferris wheel?
