Gratz/a cutting out the masks from foam board the night before Friday's photo shoot ... the pop-culture page toppers, which include the Bluejay mascot ('What's your best pick-up line? I usually just wing it.') ... and getting buy-in on the theme from the entire Creighton team."br /br /Unfortunately, even the World-Herald's state-of-the-art printing presses cannot do justice to the excellent design. Saavy marketers at the newspaper would be wise to have the section printed on high-quality gloss paper stock and sell it as a souvenir collectible.
