After stories were assigned, they had to be copyread by page editors, Editor-in- Chief John Wine, and Assistant Editor Bill Hanshaw. Then the copy was sent to the printer to come back on galley proofs. Before the newspaper finally came out, it 'had been read at least three times by the staff. Writing headlines, cutlines, and selling West Word photographers, Jeff Garlach, Jeff Martin, and Keith Perry find them- selves always busy. Angie Martin, with the help of Carol Cutright and Donna Armstrong, indexes recent issues of the West Word. advertising, and writing assigned stories were some of the many tasks performed. Under the direction of Mrs. Shirley Ga- brielson, the West Word was published bi- weekly by the staff first semester and weekly second semester. To be a member of the staff, a student must have been enrolled in J ournalism I or II. The long hours spent editing the paper will provide experience for future journal- ists in coming years.

Usherettes, Key Club Small groups provide useful services Usherettes, a service organization, was made possible through the combined ef- forts of 12 girls and their sponsor, Mrs. Ramona Smith. Each of these girls was required to at- tend every concert, play, or school activity held in the West High Auditorium. Points were awared for each program attended. Then these points were compiled and each member was ranked according to her total number of points. The climax of the year for the junior girls was the honor of being chosen to serve at Commencement. Affiliation with the West Side Kiwanis made many benefits available to Key Club members and was helpful in many com- munity service projects. With Mr. George Hudson as adviser, the group adopted a family to which it gave a Christmas basket. They also volun- teered to ring bells for the Salvation Army at local shopping centers. The highlight of the year was the State Key Club Convention hosted by West High. The boys were hosts to approxi- mately two hundred Key Club members from all over the state. l USHERETTES tFront Rowj Sue Mitchell, Kathleen Howell, Ginger Mitchell, Lynne Payne, Mrs. .Ramona Smith, Sponsor.
