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

New Camera, Unique Layouts Characterize Staff Karen Clark to Betty Wall: Don’t hit me and I promise I’ll put in my sixty hours next week.” SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS or Practically perfect in every way!” was the only way to describe the team of workers occasionally known as the W, ariv ' tck staff, and more fre- quently as ' those bunch of crazy people with the candid camera who work in that pig-pen of a room . . . 181.” OK, OK, we didn’t deny it . . . the Earle staff messed it up! Innovations — in with the new, out with the old — and ACTION, ACTION, ACTION, (es- pecially around deadline time!) were popular phrases. Everyone including five editors, six Junior assistants, two photographers, and a frantic sponsor, Mr. Howell, learned that putting out an $8000 annual w ' as one of the biggest jobs imaginable, especially with the tons of added responsibilities which were necessitated by the new ideas this year. For example, the stiff took on the tremendous )ob of taking all the pictures except class pictures. This huge task, often referred to as Pam’s Bright Idea,” entailed a DO-IT-YOURSELF Photography Kit made up of such objects of interest as a beautiful Mamiyaflex C-3 camera, a Braun Automatic Electronic Flash, a Bessler C-2 enlarger, and last, but never least, a dark room. Other bright ideas” went into writing copy that would defy all rules and regulations, (for example, too mail) commas), but at least tell what happened, or didn’t happen, when, where, and who did it, plus . . . what happened when it” didn’t happen. Working under the constant pressure of the three DREAD- LINES, many of the staffers went quietly mad and a few raving mad as copy was lost, film discovered exposed, certain people absent, deluges of snow the day before a deadline (we ice-skated to school that day), seats broken from skateboarding, picture sched- ules mixed-up, homework unfinished (or more than likely,- un- started!), Juniors seemingly non-existent, layout sheets . . . let’s forget the layout sheets, and misspelled words . . . MISSPELLED ! Mountains of work, hills of tired bones, and piles of wishy-washy gray matter were all that was left of the droopy staffers around midnight of March 10th, but when that beautiful Maroon and Gold Annual — packed full of Action ’65” and its many second glances” finally arrived in May- — Well ... we all left town.
