xXx Gary Waitschies, editor-in-chiefl relaxes while proof-reading Thunderbolt copy for the February 9 deadline. Thunderbolt BOLD USE OF photography and a new emphasis on art work gave the 67-68 Thunderbolt a new look at originality. The art work, done by John Cummings and Kathy Duke, was used to illustrate editorials, advertisements, and stories about student life. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Simons and the leadership of Gary Waitschies, the staff of eighteen published fifteen issues of the Thunderbolt. After completing a course in journalism, the first year journalism class published their own edition of the Thunderbolt. An extra feature in the Thuderbolt was the Scholastic Roto, which featured articles on foreign study and student activities. Following last year's second semester All- American rating, Thunderbolt received the Colorado Press Award for being one of the outstanding high school papers in Colorado. The requirements for a position on the Thunderbolt staff are the completion of Journalism 1 and 2 and selection by the adviser, Mr. Simons. Comparing the T-bolt to other high school papers, Cori Parisi find many similarities and differences in layouts.

Wahian Look to this day, For it is the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence . . This poem was chosen as the theme for the 1968 WAHIAN because it reflected the aspects of Wasson life: action. growth, and beauty. The theme was carried out by using an orange cover and a sunburst motif on the division pages and opening section. The 1968 staff strove to surpass the 1967 WAHIAN. rated an All American for the fourth consecutive year by the National Scholastic Press Association. The members worked again this year with a mosiac layout, developing it more fully throughout the various sections of the book. In the fall of the year, Mr. Robert Hill, WAHIAN adviser, conducted classes in yearbook journalism and the process of assembling a yearbook. The staff members were then given a free hand under the leadership of Editor Kathy Graham .and Assistant Editor Mike Reed. The WAHIAN was completed in early March and the staff then started work on the 1969 WAHI AN.
