Whirlwind Deadlines kept the paper staff busy all year. When the paper was turned out every two weeks, its variety of articles held reader interest. Editorials presented the staff's feelings on important controversial issues and kept students enlightened. Regular news stories also kept students up to date on West happenings and feature stories helped entertain readers. The Whirlwind won the All-American award, given by the NSPA, a national award, and the highest honor a paper can get in its category. A second award came from Coloumbia Press. Julie Weis won first place and Nancy Wilson won third place in the Oregon Press Women's Editorial Writing Contest. Jeff Brand and Nancy Wilson were editors, and advisor was Kay Olson .

Precision and a creative flow of imagination must work hand in hand with a constantly moving student body that is hard to hold still long enough to write about or photograph. The 1975 Bulldog staff entered the school year with fifteen out of sixteen new staff members. Deadlines proved to be a problem all year, but a motto for the staff could be better late than never . By the last deadline all staff members were veterans and a jumble of pictures, copy, and artwork came together in the 1 975 yearbook. 95
