ANNOUNCEMENTS
Congratulations!
Congratulations to the THS journalism staff. In the most recent Southern Illinois School Press Association yearbook and newspaper competitions, the Drift was once again included in SISPA's "Golden Dozen," meaning the Drift ranks among the top 12 yearbooks in downstate Illinois, and the Zephyr once again earned the prestigious "Blue Banner"award. Several staff members also won individual honors in the newspaper competition. In the Illinois Journalism Education Association's most recent yearbook contest, the Drift placed second for Best Overall Yearbook among Division IV schools, while also capturing two firsts, two seconds, one third and one honorable mention in the eight categories. The first place honors came in "Best Copy" and "Best Sports Coverage," second place honors came in "Best Divider Pages" and "Best Use of Photography," and the third place honor came in "Best Layout and Design." The honorable mention came in "Best Theme Development."
