“I think it’s a good idea as long as you don’t have activity tickets.” — Greg Curfman Three for the price of one! The Warwick, The Earle and The Tide were all sold on the same ticket. Students were able to purchase a Publication Contract for twelve dol- lars. Each of the 3 staffs sponsored sales on respective days of the first months of the year. Approximately 40% of the student body bought the contracts. Low sales were attributed to the fact that many students did not like the publications sold to- gether. In a survey made by the Annual Staff the opinions were var- ied. “I like it all together.” ‘‘It’s a good bargain.” ‘‘The cheapest way is always best.” “I’d prefer buying each publication separately.” Selling all the school’s literature at a combined price was an experi- ment by the administration. “The administration wanted the publica- tions to stand on their own,” com- mented Mr. Leslie Howell.

“Any publication has cer- tain things about it that should remain the same to develop its own character.” — Callahan Quality above Quantity” was the motto of the Tide Staff. Consisting of members of Miss Lois Callahan ' s Advanced Composition classes, the Tide staff tried to choose material that represented the entire student body. Material submitted was re- viewed by all staff members, opin- ions were given, then the editors made the final decision. Editors were chosen after first semester exams with work towards publication start- ing in February. Due to a shortage of money, the Tide was forced to print a magazine only half the size of previous issues. When asked her opinion on changes in the magazine, Miss Callahan stated, Any publica- tion has certain things about it that should remain the same to develop its own character.” The staff was not averse to sensible” changes though, according to Miss Callahan. I ' m more pleased with the paper and the effort from everyone on the staff, said Mrs. Wiess, advisor of the EARLE. The staff, mostly inex- perienced, experimented more with their own ideas and creativity in the monthly issued news magazine. Ed- itorials, polls, a newsbrief page, and spotlighting features made up the content of the magazine. Money was the major problem for the staff. With each edition costing approximately $300, more was need- ed. This did not hold the staff back, according to Sarah Anderson, Editor; “We’re ready to explore new places, new people and new things!” “Really good, if we had more money it would be better.” — Pam Shumate Hashing-out. Jerry Filler, Dorothy Plethos. and Karen Beatty approve literary entries for the 1974 TIDE. Distributed in May, the magazine combined student art work and creative writing. Retake.
