Well, guess what! You ' re read- ing one of them right now! Yes, the yearbook was one of the nnajor productions of the school. Another publication, Mane Thing produced newspapers during the year with current, school-related topics. A lot of hard work went into plannin g and producing these publications. Jayme Shelton, editor of the Simba Kali yearbook staff verified, I had to oversee every- one ' s work and whatever wasn ' t done, I had to do. I joined yearbook be- cause I felt I could learn a lot SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS DEMAND DEDICATED RINT STAFFERS and meet new people. commented Krisha Smith, yearbook staffer. Produc- tions allowed students to meet different people. People chose to work on these productions for differ- ent reasons, but the most prominent reason was, as Mona Ramirez confirmed, It was something new.

TRUE FRIENDS STILL SEE THE REAL PERSON What happens when your life be ' comes public knowledge I really discovered who my true friends were when I got to school that Monday morning after the articles were published. They knew it was blown out of proportion, and said they were sor- ry. explained Jeanette Tupper. The Press Enter- prise 6 6 a few in-depth articles on individual stu- dents, which in cluded Jeanette Tupper. Paul Hampton, and Eugene Takenaga. Some of the people who were interviewed for the Press En- terprise were a bit disappointed with the results. The quotes were truthful, and it was what I said, but I felt it was overdone, stated Eugene Taken- aga. Students were not the only people inter- viewed. An indepth article was written about so- cial studies teacher. Mr. Dick Diamond. He also had some concerns. Some of the things I said were off the record, said in confidence, and Ms. Borbath printed it anyway. She dwelt on one comparison I barely made and made the whole article revolve around it, and she even misquot- ed me. HIGH SCHOOL Simba Kali Special Report After the initial reaction wore off, some people weren ' t too concerned. Paul Hampton con- firmed, Some of the facts were twisted around, but I wasn ' t mad. because my friends still treated me the same. One interviewee, Eugene Takenaga, felt that misinterpretation was the result of a lack of com- munication. Ms. Borbath didn ' t read back the notes she had taken, and I had no indication of what the article would say. On the other hand, Xavier Miranda, who was interviewed around the same time by Agustin Gurza. another Press re- porter, confided that the reporter was under- standing, he read back what he had written down. It was almost as if he gave me a small preview so I knew what to expect. Although some of these people felt they wer- en ' t conveyed accurately enough, most were not bothered, because they were secure with their true friends who knew the true them. The articles made me feel as though a student had to fit into the groups they de- scribed. They described the extreme groups, yet there are so many students who are in- between. Karen Kline, junior. I am really pleased to teach these kids at Arlington High School. They are wonderful and have so much to contri- bute to our society. fulr. Ga- len Darrough, teacher. Kim Olvera 1 don ' t think that the articles showed enough truth. I know Eugene really well, and they didn ' t cover him accuratly at all. They made him look like a hermit. Scott Burke, senior.
