Color Enhances Lance, Shield Increasing the number of color pictures was the main highlight of the 1967 Shield. Also with the increase in color, a sixteen page extension of the yearbook was necessary. Many long hours of effort were devoted by the staff in preparation for this addition to Westside's Shield. Besides sweat, blood and tears, finances also had to accounted for. To balance this boost in the budget, staff members sold more advertising and yearbooks than ever before, sponsored bake sales, and the annual Girl's Powder Puff Football game. To help further their knowledge in creating a worthy yearbook, several members of the Shield staff traveled to Topeka, Kansas, where they watched the actual printing of yearbooks at the American Yearbook Company. Many on the staff also went by Hslow bus to Lincoln and attended the Nebraska High School Press Association Convention in Oc- tober. The Shield staff competed in the NHSPA District Contest in March and in the NHSPA State journalism Contest in the late spring. Linda Gilmore...

'11 Setting a milestone in Westsideis tradition, the 1967 Lance staff broke several records established in previous school years. A smaller staff than in 1966 issued 2000 papers bi-weekly, 1800 to Westside students and 200 exchange papers, 100 of which went out of state. This was a greater number than had ever been published before. Eighteen issues were produced. The members of the staff exceeded another record by soliciting more advertising than any of their predecessors. Perhaps the greatest contribution to Westside's journalistic program was the four-color process picture in the Christmas issue-the first ever printed in the Lance. The staff and junior journalists also took field trips to the Aladdin Engraving Company and the Livestock Press. Last fall the 1967 Lance staff accepted the honorable mention award for class A papers at the Nebraska High School Press Association Convention in Lincoln. This spring the Lance staff participated in the NHSPA district and state tl contests. Editor ...................... .... M ike McNabb Associate, Page One Editor ...... ......
