Tradition Returns to Journalism Departments W ith "Shades of Change" as their theme, the staff of the 1987 Petit Jean set out to capture the year by changing back to some older traditions. For the first time in twenty-four years a ''Who's Who?" section was added to the Senior section exclusively for this year. The traditional black of the Senior section returned with gradual shading down to the white of the seventh grade, giving a sense of "growing up'' throughout the years. · A lot of gray was used, giving the book a more traditional look, and Miss Ruth Browning returned as faculty advisor, a position she had held for over twenty years. Less than five members returned from last year's book, and the new staff once again worked in the college office. These and other factors helped the staff capture the Shades of Change in the '86~87 school year. Production of the Academy's school paper, the Wildcat, returned to qp._tside_ of class time after having been produced in a special class last year. The staff kept the quality of the paper at a high level. Letters to the Editor and song dedications Wildcat Staff. Front row: Treat, Joiner. Second row: Ryan, Boaz.
