Staff Changes Wa-kaller to Offset Print The Journalism staff, though small, produced a news- paper every four weeks and also published a yearbook. Since the class was small, everyone worked both on the yearbook and newspaper. The Wa-Kaller underwent a facelift. Since its be- ginning the newspaper had been mimeographed. Through the desire of the Journalism staff and funding by the district, arrangements were made for the Ag- Press in Manhattan to print it. Staff members decided the traditional name, Wa- Kaw, better suited the annual than the name of Flashback which was used the year before. Thanks to willingness of various groups in the school to pay for extra pages, the Wa-Kaw also had 36 extra black and white pages in it. 6

Band Members Meet 1972-73 Challenges Wamego High School Band performed a Pop Com Con- cert in March. The purpose was to approach concerts and pop music differently. Ensembles from the com- munity and the high school performed songs from How the West was Won and Spinning Wheels. The con- cert was successful and the band plans to continue this concert in the future. The band also performed for the Open House Concert in May. The band attended League Festival at Chapman in Feb- ruary. Mr. John Childs said that he thought the band did a great job. He added that they really worked to leam the music in the two weeks prior to the festival. The band contributed to community projects by playing for the Lions' Club Candy Day. They also played for Veterans Day assembly. The Raider band boosted school spirit at a number of sporting events. The band participated in Band Day at Kansas State University.
