First Annual Yearbook Clinic Here
On Friday, April 22, the first
annual state-wide high school
yearbook clinic was held in the
Commerce Building at NCC
from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Co-sponsored by the NCC
Eagle yearbook and the Ameri^
can Yearbook Company, the
clinic’s primary purpose was to
instruct high school editors and
advisors on all phases of year
books, from finance to publish
ing the annuals.
Charles McNeil, editor of the
1960 Eagle, opened the general
session with a welcome address
followed by the introduction of
the chief consultant for the
clinic, Jack O. LeFlore, South-'
ern Sales Manager for the
American Yearbook Company.
After Mr. LeFlore’s address the
clinic immediately began work
in learning how to publish
quality yearbooks.
Mr. Charles R. Stanback, of
Stanback Studio in Durham, lec
tured on “Financing Your Year^
book.” In his lecture Mr. Stan
back suggested some ways of
raising money to edit a year
book. Among these were selling
the annual, patron lists, adver
tisements, and selling spares to
clubs and other organizations.
Mr. Alex M. Rivera, Jr., local
representative of the American
Yearbook Company, discussed
photography with the group. He
explained the importance of se
lecting photographs with the
right tone and clarity for the
yearbook.
The Durham Business Col
lege’s yearbook staff served as
registrars for the clinic; Larry
Suitt, Ernest Thompson, and
Johnny Roberts, of the Eagle,
served as hosts.
Following the lectures on new
services available to scholastic
publications and the exhibition
of new products, the delegates
attended a banquet in the Col
lege dining hall.
The meet attracted over 50
editors and advisors throughout
the State. A similar clinic
planned for next year.
