“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.

Switching to a spring delivery book, the Annual Staff experienced prob- lems getting it all together.” Late deadlines and a lack of organization caused the staff to switch back to a fall delivery. Selling fewer ads than in previous years because of the early ad dead- line, the staff attempted several other money-making projects. Patron ad sales, at first open to only seniors, were later opened to entire student body with the understanding that any student selling three or more patron ads at $5.00 apiece received a pub- lication ticket free. Another project that had proved successful the pre- vious year was Christmas sales of the yearbook. Staff members compil- ed a list of students who had not bought books, then called their par- ents and offered the yearbook as Christmas presents. The receipts were enclosed with a Christmas card, and the parents were billed in Jan- uary. Other projects included show- ing Kiddie movies” on Saturdays and selling ads to the classes. The staff pasted up all of the pages and had the type set up locally as an economy measure. 25 Annual working
