Big, talented staff designs Recruiting intelligent frien- ds and an increase in photographers made a large 1981 Tokay staff possible compared with most previous yearbook staffs. This large body of workers consisted of seven key editors, eleven photographers, six biography-feature writers, and six page editors. Tokay '81 presented many new design and typography details, which made produc- tion of the book unusually complicated, yet very ap- pealing, according to the editors. The new designs were 30 created by the addition of variations of borders, percen- tages of black, and reverse type uses. Senior staff members felt lucky to finish the last year with Adviser Wayne L. Field, and future editors expressed that they were scared about the future. Mr. Field was an organized adviser, and the loss of his 17 years of ex- perience with The Tokay gave future editors a frightened feeling, for they realized they would have to fill in many of the hours Mr. Field had freely given. .w i .

Shortages take toll Lacking advertising sales- men and enough trained, ex- perienced editors and repor- ters, the only area where the PRESS staff didn't seem to lack staff was columnists. From the first of December on, the PRESS had no ad sales staff. No one who could be spared to sell ads on a regular basis had a car. Becoming even more pronounced after the mid- term graduation of three out of four regular page editors, a lack of trained writers plagued the staff all year. Under Editor-in-Chief Gavin McCormick, staff members rotated assignments frequen- tly for several months in or- der to develop experience rapidly after the first of the year. This rotation was also in anticipation of the fact that Adviser Wayne L. Field plan- ned to retire from teaching at the end of the year. Since the experience and ability of the new adviser was an unknown factor, staff members had to prepare to produce the paper by them- selves until they could train a new adviser to direct the many-faceted program. 32 A S f r
