60 T UNDERBOL nder the editorship of Lola Jackson and the spon- sorship of Mr. Simons, the Thunderbolt staff pub- lished eighteen issues this year, the largest number in Wasson's history. In an effort to expand into a more worldly newspaper, the editorial staff published argu- ments on such controversial topics as drugs and the draft. An opinion poll on music was circulated by the staff to the entire student body. All well-written letters to the editor airing students' suggestions and com- plaints were printed. For the first time, the T-Boll staff decided to have a booth at the Homecoming Carnival. They raised money by selling balloons and posters. Last year's T-Bolt received an All-American rating and an honorable mention from the Colorado Press Association. Completion of Journalism 1 and 2 and selection by Mr. Simons were prerequisites for a position on the T-Boll staff.

6 WAHIAN or the fifth consecutive year the National Press As- sociation rated the 1968 volume of the WAHIAN All-American , the highest possible rating for a jour- nalistic publication. Under the leadership of Editor David Kendrick and Assistant Editor Priscilla Gehrung, the 1969 staff attempted to perfect the use ofthe mosaic layout. Development of the theme Times Are Changing was accomplished through extensive use of current events photographs, an innovation to the WAHIAN. Actual work time was from March 1968 to March 1969, when the completed book was sent to the American Yearbook Company for publication. Each section was headed by an editor, with assistants working with him. At the beginning of the year Mr. Robert Hill, adviser, conducted classes in yearbook journalism for new members. The work completed, the staff began work on the 1970 issue and wrote job summaries for next year's staff. This year's student body created the school events: the 1969 WAHIAN recorded the memories of the 1968-1969 school year at Roy J. Wasson High School. Discussing plans for the 1969 Wahian are Editor David Kendrick, Assistant Editor Cilla Gehrung, and Photographer Richard Morris. 9 -.-.,,..,.
