Sorcerxf t was like being there while the world was being created. The staff witnessed the infantile be- ginnings of this year’s book, a few ideas scratched on a sheet of notebook paper. Almost a year went by before the completed books rolled off the presses of the Herff-Jones Company in Gettysburg, Pennsylva- For almost everyone, the experience was nov- el. Michelle Rioux admitted, Fve never done anything like it.” It was the magic of being in on the decisions whether large or small that captivated Meredith Cline. Being behind the scenes is fun. You real- ar)d Plain Hard Work The staff strains to produce another prize yearbook ly get to see what goes on,” she commented. For some of the most diligent workers there was the continuing agony of self-doubt until the book was complete and they could see the result. Steve Ritchie worried about the creative content of his layout designs. Cathy Rogalin was con- cerned about the appropriateness of her creative writing. During the leisurely production pace of late spring, the staff grew as a unit. Suzanne Sampson spoke for the majority, I have learned to work with people as a team. I have met a lot of new people and have loved every minute of it.” The cool autumn weather brought with it the full realization of deadlines and fund raising goals. Peter Bregoli was one who thrived on deadlines and managed to produce quality art work and layouts under severe time pressure. Others operated under different restrictions as staff members strived to raise funds through ads, flower and shirt sales. Ann Griffin admitted to enjoying the fundraising bustle. T-shirt and sweatshirt sales are fun,” she agreed. Freshmen and underclassmen for the first time were represented on the staff and in the yearbook to create a more balanced book. Diver- sity produced a more creative book and at the same time trained next year ' s staff. 12 School Life

You couldn ' t tell from the picture, but Dan Henck was not emulating the famous Coopertone baby behind his misleading towel. Lisa Lindsay and Jenny McGee seemed pleased with their new symbols of senior status — the 1985 t-shins. Even after a hectic day of classes the participants of beach day had plenty of pep left over for a picture.

Steve Ritchie and Peter Bregoli were responsible for the art work and layout decisions that had to be made. Cathy Rogalin and Michelle Rioux slaved over the personality categories before deciding on ones appropriate to the theme. Matt Pettine was on the phone every day after school for weeks lining up advertisers. Sioux Griffin, Katie Prior, Ann Griffin and Laura Kirwin worked on picture identification, headlines and other detailed jobs. It wasn ' t always hardwork. In between frantic deadlines, the yearbook staff had time for fun. If you wondered who took your picture it was probably John Slauson behind the camera. School Life 1.S
