Bishop Leblond High School - Aerie Yearbook (St Joseph, MO)

Though a student-oriented publication, most students know very little about the production of the yearbook. The Aerie is sent into the publishing company in four stages, with the last deadline hitting in early March. The book takes ten weeks to be printed and shipped so there is a separate sixteen page supplement created to cover spring events. Staff members draw layouts, write copy and captions, and are responsible for taking and developing photographs used in the yearbook. Many hours of overtime are logged, especially during the fran- tic rush preceding a deadline. The Aerie crew worked this year under the watchful eye of senior editor Mini Sanders and advisor Chris Losson, while junior editor Sharon Gillette acquired expertise she will need for next year. The Aerie costs several thousand dollars to pro- duce, and the contract, awarded on a competetive basis, was given for the first time to the Taylor Publishing Company of Dallas, Texas. Denise Wood served as Taylor representative and provided welcome advice. Aerie staffers learn that creativity, compromise and perseverance are traits that are instrumental in produc- ing a yearbook they can take pride in. Piveral works hard on the faculty section. 1.
