%A/alking into Room 405 on the
* ■ day before the newspaper
staff's deadline is like walking
through the commons on the last
day of school. Final paste-ups and
corrections are made and everyone
bustles around in a mad rush for
perfection.
With all this going on, it's easy
to see how Linda Jensen was
awarded the Cornhusker Award
October 26, receiving 466 out of a
possible 500 points.
Five members from last year's
staff returned: seniors Hope Taylor,
managing editor, Doug Aupperle
and Ken Bukowski, co-editors-in-
chief, Shelby Mertins, news editor,
Rachelle Bumann, feature editor,
Julie McEvoy, advertising manager,
and juniors Mike Mackie, sports
editor, and Michelle Hamilton,
page three editor.
The staff attended the NHSPA
summer workshop at Lincoln
October 26, Creighton round table
discussion October 26, and a UNO
workshop in April.
The staff put out fifteen papers a
year amounting to thirty to thirty-
five individual stores a paper.
That's 495 stories, more than three
stories for each day of the school
year. It all adds up to hard work.
''This year we tried to promote
readership by writing more
interesting features, more stories
that appeal to students," said
Taylor. Not only was the staff
trying to improve content, but the
looks of the paper also. Blue spot-
color was used effectively on the
front page.
In just thirteen days, these ten
people put together memories of
the school year. The paper
improved all the time, proving that
the staff was a team — and a class
"A" team at that.

Corrections must be made! Senior Doug Aup­
perle tries to change the errors.
Before the paper goes to the printer, it must
be proofread many times. Advisor Linda Jen­
sen makes final corrections on a story.
