Staff members share responsibilities, even while focusing their efforts on one particular aspect of the magazine. So 12th-grader Bridget Butler of Marshall might read “piles and piles” of submissions as the prose editor while still helping business editor Laurie Tice of Warrenton sell patrons. The magazine costs $3,000 to produce, but Mrs. Buratti said by doing much of the work themselves the students save about half what the cost would otherwise be.
Miss Daugherty said the sharing of responsibilities is needed to make deadlines: although the staff numbers about 20, she said 12 are the devoted ones who come to every meeting and make the magazine work.
Kathleen O’Neill is the assistant editor and twins Katie and Marcy Lynn of Washington are the art editors. Teacher Gary Genther advises students on the art side of the magazine.
The magazine traditionally comes out in early June during the start of finals week. Alter that, it’s sent to New York for participation in the Columbia contest.
“We don’t compete for prizes,” said Mrs. Buratti. “They give us a wonderful critique and always have magnificent things to say about us.”
Other staff members include Bridget Butler, John Viega, Britt Lawrence, Katie Holland, Lindsay Lawrence, Detra Funk, Matthew Buratti, Laura Larimer, Jamed Stephens, Hugh Ryan, Willie D’Angelo, Samara Sargent, Alison Martin, Thomas Palmieri and Rob Schlegel.
