"Hold it, will you? Now, if
you would pose over here. . . "
"What is your name again?
Uh, could you spell it? Now,
could you tell me. .. "
"How can I dummy this page?
The pictures haven't even been
taken!"
These quotations, not to-men
tion certain others, have been
heard all week long by high
school students attending journa-
lism workshop sessions on cam-
pus, with headquarters at the
Memorial Student Center.
The workshop has been spon-
sored by A &M for the last six
years to aid students in develop-
ing better newspaper and year-
books on the high school level.
Activities began Sunday, when
most of the delegation arrived for
registration to discover that a
summer thunderstorm had
brought a moment of relief from
the hot weather. However, they
discovered that relief is often
temporary as they traipsed about
the campus the rest of the week.
Over 300 students and spon-
sors have convened, most from
Texas. One delegation though,
hails from Canteron, La., and one
sponsor, Miss Janet Douglas, ar-
rived from Hamilton, Ohio.
Yearbook workers number lar-
gest with 165 students, while
newspaper ranks next with 120.
Photographers.. and sponsors num-
ber 30 each.
The day begins early for most
delegates as they walk to Sbisa
Hall in the morning mist to eat
breakfast. With this exercise
and nourishment, some manage
to wake up in time to catch part
of the morning sessions.
Much of the afternoon is spent
in working on various assign-
ments given to students by their
directors, who are eager to help
them develop their talents -or lack
of them!
Comes supper and the delega-
tion crawls over to the cafeteria
to replenish themselves. The lines
may be long, and the food may be
tempting, but fortunately no
serious riots hgve occurred.
Nights have been arranged to
provide fun and entertainment.
For example, several delegations
presented various acts in a talent
show Monday night. Aggies had
a chance to show their talent
Wednesday night when they were
invited to the workshop dance.
It appeared that the girls had the
most fun.
Activities also include attend-
ance at the A &M summer musi-
cal, "Bloomer Girl," Thursday
night.
A barbecue was held Tuesday
afternoon and a buffet supper
Will be held Thursday night.
Awards will be presented Fri-
day morning to recognize the en-
deavors of many of the students.
Afterwards, the delegations will
prepare to leave the A &M cam-
pus. They will take with them
memories of tired feet, long cafe-
teria lines, humidity, fun and
most of all, work. The results of
this work will show in the news-
papers, yearbooks and photo -�
graphs of the coming year.
Or, anyway, it is supposed to.
