Armijo High School - La Mezcla Yearbook (Fairfield, CA)

Editor's Message Yearbook is much more than 256 pages between 2 covers. It is an endless collage of broken typewriters, photographers who are constantly running out of film, lunch meetings, white-out, uncorrected copy, interviews, Christmas parties, layouts that have to be redrawn, type sheets that have to be retyped, subscription pads, weekend deadlines, pepperoni pizzas, new staff members who don't understand anything, long distance phone calls to Logan, Utah, carbon paper, fights over the index, lost rulers, broken dates, trips to Vacaville, disgruntled custodians, absent minded editors, friendships that will last forever, patient advisors, and unidentified group pictures. My Freshman year, when the Yearbook came out, I was disappointed. It was orange, and not at all what I had expected. I didn't like it, and I complained about it so much that one of my friends, in an effort to stifle my gripes, said If you think you can do a better job, prove it!!! Ijoined the staff two days later. I soon found out the hard way that Yearbook is not easy. It was difficult for me to give up my academic, family, and social livesg but Yearbook Staffers become accustomed to sacrificing their weekends and vacations for deadlines. Yearbook receives no financial help from the school, however, we sell books at a loss to support the ASB card program, and are compelled to have year-round fund raisers to pay for thousands of dollars of color pages that students have come to expect from their Yearbooks. But the sacrifice is well worth it! The theme of this yearis book is 'fThe Roads Weive Traveled, and we have worked hard to make the book graphically, as well as thematically, consistant. The green cover, a group decision, was chosen because it is the color of Fairfield's natural roadside scenery, and all of the road pictures were shot from local points of interest. We have tried to make this Yearbook en- joyable and interesting to everyone. However, if you don't like something about the Yearbook, don't complain to the nearest staff member about it!!! Join the Yearbook Staff, get your input in print and try to change what you don't like. Remember, youlll only get out of school what you put into it, and the same goes for the Yearbook. In closing, I would like to thank my teachers for giving me the valuable skills which will keep for the rest of my life, and for their cooperation throughout the production of the Yearbookg my friends for standing behind me when the going got tough and for being there when I needed them, Miss Ash, our Advisor, for ALL her helpg and to my parents for their understanding.
