Raiders' Digest

 
As a member of the "Raiders' Digest" staff, a student learns about journalism and how to produce a high school newspaper. The work involves in-class and after-school hours. Students assist in the production of the school publications and in the various activities of the Public Relations office.
 
   The student learns to write several types of stories including front page, feature, and sports. As a staff member, he may write editorials and columns. Most staff members will also get involved in the layout, makeup, and headline writing of the paper. Several issues are distributed to the student body each year. Staff members spend several weeks preparing each issue.

  The Yearbook staff has probably one of the hardest jobs on campus. Headed by moderator Mr. Bill Arthurs, the yearbook staff compiles photographs of the Archbishop Rummel community and produces a  memory book for the student body. Mr. Arthurs and his team of about four or five students can be seen taking pictures at every major social function. The students have to get the pictures developed and decide which pictures go where. As it does every year, the yearbook closes out its year with pictures of the Senior Prom, Eighth Grade Graduation, and Senior Graduation. Raider staff members then continue working into the summer to complete the Archbishop Rummel Yearbook. The yearbook can be purchased by pre-order at the beginning of the school year at Book Day.
     The yearbook serves five major functions at Archbishop Rummel: it is a memory book, a history of the school year, a resource/reference book, a public relations agent, and an educational training experience for its staff.
   The yearbook staff works all year long recording the events and experiences that make up a year at Archbishop Rummel. There are only a few staff openings each year, but any student interested in photography, copy writing, page design, reporting, data entry, graphics, or proof reading should investigate the possibility of being selected for the "Raider" yearbook staff.
