As the yearbook deadlines approached, the small room in which the editors of the Bisbila worked turned into chaos. Under the direction of Editor Liz Burkhardt and Mrs. Woleta Hamerston, adviser, the ten senior editors strived to produce a yearbook that would be meaningful to U High students. Eoch of the editors were responsible for a certain section of the yearbook. The Journalism A class learned several publication skills such as layout, copy writing, typography, and photography. Working with the editors gave the first year journalism students experience which will be applied by next year's editors. This year was the second consecutive yeor that the production of the Bisbila has been a class project and not an activity outside of school. This allowed the editors more time in which to produce a better yearbook. BISBILA STAFF Bock row: Art Tsuchiyo, photo co-editor; Robie Wayne, sports co-editor. Sue Stein, senior editor.

Breeze Eleven seniors, under the direction of Editor Lee Levitt and Mrs. Woleto Hamerston, adviser, comprised the 1965-66 Breeze staff. For the editors, each of the nine issues of the newspaper meant many hours of compiling, writing and editing. The Campus Breeze was awarded an All-American oward for the 28th consecutive year. This honor indicates that the U High newspaper is one of the best in its class. The National Scholastic Press Association presented the award. This year, the fifth and sixth graders of the former University Elementary school were included in the newspaper's circulation. The Breeze staff exchanged newspapers with more than fifty other high schools throughout the state and nation. The Journalism I students aided the editors as they performed their duties as reporters. In class, the students learned journalistic fundamentals including news, feature, editorial and sports writing, headline writing, cartooning, typography and makeup. At the end of the year, Journalism I students who showed ability in their work as reporters were given editorships. The new editors assumed their positions in May by preparing the cub issue. 24

Speech, Literary Interests Find Outlet DECLAMATION. Declaim ? Jeon Berman, Mitchell Smith ond Anno Cohn di»cu»t technique with Mr . Carol Hor will, adviser. DEBATE. Activity period found deboter Ed Fire tone and Korl Aufderheide in proctice for upcoming tournament . LITERATURE CLUB member cho e fonto ' o» the topic of their foil quarter di cu» ion . DECLAMATION attracted many hard working and interested students. Guided by Mrs. Carol Horswill, speech instructor, students were taught to unite clarity, emotion ond persuasion in their speeches and work in such areas as pause, stress and pitch helped to raise the level of the presentations. The speeches were classified in six categories: serious and humorous interpretation of poetry and prose, original oratory extemporaneous reading and story telling. The speeches were presented and judged under formal conditions in district regional and state tournaments. DEBATE CLUB, advised by Mr. George Robb, concentrated on developing speaking, research and orgumenfa-tionol abilities and the ability to use reasoned argument in the impromptu situation. Membership was limited to senior high students. Debote participation has been severely limited this year. In Mr. Robb's words: Because a tremendous time commitment on the part of the debaters is required for a competitively strong debate team and because U High students do not have that kind of time, we have some built-in limitations for debate as an extra-curricular activity. Activity periods were spent discussing the topic for debate, planning coses, researching ond practicing. LITERATURE CLUB provided students with on opportunity to discuss literature in an informal situation with the guidance of an instructor. Advisers John Caddy and Thomas Bacig, English instructors, felt that this type of situation helped the student learn how to evaluate literature. The advisers never prepored a format for discussion,- it was always turned over to the students. 26
