[Slightly OT] Special formatting for first page

I tried this question on text.comp.tex and got nothing. So I'll try 
here with the hope that someone can help.

I am trying to set up a LaTeX template for my MAA student section 
newsletter. The first page of this newsletter has a masthead which is 
about 2.5 inches high. I have used the geometry package to layout the 
page and can set the headheight to 2.5 inches to get the first page to 
look write. However, the header graphic on the rest of the pages is 
only .5 inches and the 2.5 inch headheight is too big on those pages. 
What I would like to know is if it is possible to set headheight to be 
different in different parts of the document? Right now this is based 
off of the article class with twocolumns. Is there another document 
class that would be better? I can provide a PDF of the current format. 
TIA
