One of the most important end-of- the-year events is the distribution of yearbooks. Students look forward to this occasion through the year, but not many realize the hard work that goes into a school annual. The Building on the Best staff was made up of 20 members, all with ideas of their own. Many cre- ative talents went into the making of the yearbook, but it took much more than imagination. Long weekend hours were very much a part of being on the year- book staff. Members each worked on different sections of the yearbook and had to meet deadlines. The pho- tographers were also a part of the staff: they were often seen taking pictures at special, as well as daily. events. Students were also required to sell ads and books. The 1981-82 school year started for most students in August, but the staff members began brainstorming in June. The staff held a cook-out at the adviser's house to kick off a produc- tive year early in the summer. Some attended a seminar in Fort Collins in July and brought back ideas from na- tionally-acclaimed advisers. But stu- dents weren't the only ones who had to prove their dedication by staying after school and working on Saturdays. Mrs. Elizabeth Cutter pro- vided the guidance the fairly inexpe- rienced staff needed to produce the best book possible. A silver anniversary is in itself a special event. but with a new school also opening. the staff had many ideas and events to work with. During seventh hour in the yearbook room, the staff works at sorting school pictures Cbelowb.
