}fprint is e wn Money problems are met with journalism awards Reporting the facts, informing the public and providing a form of public entertainment are what newspapers are supposed to be all about. This past year, the Hoofprint started off the year with the an- nouncement that last year ' s newspaper had received both Medalist and an All-American (very prestigious jour- nalism ratings.) The last time the paper had been a Medalist was in 1983 and the last time they had made All- American was in 1985, however, the paper had never received both awards in the same year. By receiving both awards in the same year rated the Hoof- print as one of only 24 high schools nationally, to obtain such ratings. With this news to push them on, the paper hit financial difficulties which staggered pro- duction. To help the financial circumstances and to get production back up, the Hoofprint Staffers spent many long hours selling items at a bou- tique during back to school night. They also endured through many television tapings, some of which includ- ed; Who ' s the Boss?, the Dating Game, Per- fect Strangers and My Sister Sam. After re- ceiving a grant from the State of California, the Hoofprint was able to purchase two comput- ers that set type, cut- ting back on type-set- ting expenses and virtu- ally cutting the price of the newspapers pro- duction in half. With these invest- ments and savings, the Hoofprint was able to put together another year ' s worth of news, sports, feature, and opinion and was in con- tention for the Pace- maker Award, (the most prestigious American High School journalism award, rec- ognizing the top 10 newspapers in the na- tion.)

The Cayuse had, had a tradition of award- winning annuals and yearbooks under the supervision of Adviser Steve Bailey. Marion Peterson of Ramona Catholic Girls School said, Bailey is one of the best advisers in the state, if not the country ... and Walnut has always had a strong yearbook. Continuing in this tradition, the staff started out the year with the announce- ment that the 1985-86 edition of the Cayuse entitled, On the Flip Side, had won Medal- ist and Ail-American ratings, placing them in the top 50 books in the nation, and that the book was still in contention for further awards. -4 LEARNING FROM THE BEST, students from all over California listen to a lecture from Steve Bailey. Bailey tias taugtit at many conventions and write-off competitions. Building on this an- nouncement, the 36 member staff worked towards maintaining and surpassing earlier books, said Copy Edi- tor Randy Abulon. With such a big staff, we got more accom- plished than last year, said Graphic Editor Second Year Staffer Jennifer Brannon. I guess that goes hand and hand with a more dedicated staff, she added. But aside from the actual laying-out of pages, writing of copy and taking of pictures, the Cayuse staff found time to relax and have several parties, attend a few conferences, write-offs, and even managed to go to Portland, Oregon for the National Journal- ism Education Associ- ation Convention for a weekend with the Newspaper Staff. 2,000 people attend- ed this convention, the majority under 18 and female! said Ar- mando Calderon. story by V.
