Eagle Staff Provides Better News Coverage for School Addition” can best describe the ’64-’65 Earle staff. Almost doubling the previous group, this year 22 students contributed to the publication of Warwick’s newspaper in one way or another. Appearing every two weeks in six pages, The Earle supple- mented its standard news and sports stories with several regular features. A favorite with students was the fashion spotlighted in each edition which local clothing stores foresaw as pace-setters in teenage wardrobes. Another feature added” for the benefit of college-bound students was the College Profile, in which the requirements, his- tory, curriculum, and expenses of various colleges were reported. In order for WHS students to learn of other schools’ activities, a column entitled Offbeat,” was added,” drawing its material from newspapers with which The Earle exchanged. The addition” of a few over-enthusiastic artists enabled the staff to present meaningful cartoons to support its editorial policies. Throughout the year several editorial campaigns were conducted. Two typists and three photographers were also added” to expedite production of the publication. Inventive, original feature pages were popular with the student body as well as floating” pictures which were often humorous. There were many experiments in make-up of the pages, all designed to present articles and pictures in a more pleasing and correct way. Much emphasis was placed on upholding writing and journalistic principles. In order to achieve a more professional product, The Earle switched to newsprint for publications. The staff felt this increased student interest and improved the overall appearance of the newspaper. With only five veteran” staffers and a new sponsor, Miss Judi Faris, various problems arose. But, through teamwork and cooperation, sometimes referred to as Kay will go it . . .” or Miss Faris’ Ya’ll be quiet!”, the staff compiled a product which reflected the spirit and traditions of Warwick High. 120

Ushers Attack Confusion, Disorder at WHQ Functions No, this row is part of the Senior section — No, that row’s reserved for the faculty — No, those rows are for the assembly members — Well, you could sit in the balcony . . Ushers this year ran up against a few rather minor” problems as they tried to seat 2200 students in an auditorium which held 1000 at maximum. Of course, as always, school programs were divided into two assemblies, but this still left a surplus of 200 students. However, a similar number were usually found per- forming on the stage so that the balance was not too overpowering. With such a big job to perform the twenty-nine juniors and seniors who made up the ushers were kept busy at such school functions as plays, musical concerts, College Day, PTA Back-to- School Night, SCA Variety Show, graduation, and regular weekly assemblies. Jo Ann Givens and Judy Anderson, whose job it was to see that there were ushers wherever and whenever they were needed, were chosen as head ushers. Serving as sponsor of this honorary group was Mr. Sheaks. Under his direction their purpose of maintaining order and providing courteous assistance at school functions was carried out with pride and pleasure. The ushers were chosen on the basis of poise, neatness, tact, friendliness, and leadership ability. To qualify for this position, they also had to have above average grades, write a paper on why they would like to become an usher, and be recommended by two teachers. ' ' If you give me your name, address, and phone number, I’ll call you when we have a seat available.” The Ushers for 1964-65 are: Row 1 — Judy Anderson, Nicki Robins, Jo Saunders, Karen Clark, Patty Phelps, Janet Burgess, Jo Ann Givens. Row 2 — Melody Clendenin, Emmy Gibbons, Jo Ann Branscomb, Carol Lee Barlow, Diane Leviner, Christine Carney, Linda Graham, Judy Prizio, Judith Walters. Row 3— Vickie Mooza, Eddie Bachman, Linda Buchanan, Alice Sampselle, Brenda Winall, Linda Russell, Everrett Hogg. Absent from the picture is Kay Andreoli.
