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 -.-.,,..,.

WASSON SOPHOMORES INTRODUCE CH NGES or the sophomores, changing times began with Gleep Smoke Week, when they were humbled in a series of rodeos, bronco riding, calf roping, and hang- ings. At the end of the week they became full-fledged T-Birds at the Gleep Leap held in the cafeteria. Dur- ing the Homecoming competition, the sophomores proved themselves by being the first Sophomore Class to win two out of the ten events. Throughout the year they were challenged in many activities and met the challenges quite successfully. In decorating the Sophomore hall for class competi- tion, they came in second, using the theme Christ- mas in Your Own Neighborhood. Under the leader- ship of Miss Fullmer and Mr. Hoffman, the class spon- sors, the Sophomore Council was able to undertake several successful projects. On January 29, the Coun- cil sponsored a Pickle Palmer Day, when they sold pickles during the three lunch periods. With one full and rewarding year behind them, the class looked forward to an even better Junior year.
