■ OHMYCOD! — Cindy Hicks agonizes over another typo as Leila Saadai frantically erases her mistakes. Hysteria often pre- vailed as deadlines approached. ▼ HMMM, LET ' S SEE — Sports editor Eric Hansen checks his camera before rushing off to yet another photo assignment. iVUig 200% Vr mh it Ako Ui Cafxr There ' s no excuse except that maybe we ' re all masochists, in it for the pure enjoyment of the pres- sure. But seriously, it looks good on a college application, and it ' s a di- vine thrill seeing the final publica- tion. Working on the yearbook staff enabled us to complete the awe- some task of producing an abso- lutely Capo yearbook, underbud- get and with a profit. Our mission was to captLire the essence of the entire student body, faculty, and staff with an accurate account of all aspects of high school life. With Bret Barrett as the new ad- visor, and only 16 staff members to represent the whole school, we had to give 200% of our time and effort (and that was just to put up with Mr. Barrett ' s jokes and Re- venge of the Nerds laugh.) Dead- lines forced us to stay at school ' til the sun went down, and Mr. Bar- rett kept us going on popcorn and pizza and his singing, which made us work faster so we could leave and be spared. Leaving when the bell rang was considered A.W.O.L. Last year ' s advisor, Karen Winn, was full of smiles as she went home ear- ly to lead a normal life. It was almost impossible to maintain a job out- side of school, much less do home- work or remain sane. For those of us who had Mr. Wilt, we just laughed when he said, Math Is your life, because we all knew that yearbook was our life. As a result of everyone ' s time and creative input, things began to fall in place and the pressure eased. Mr. Barrett got to spend time with his family, and co-editor Janet Chen began smiling again (we were thinking of sending her to see Dr. Wally.) Thanks so much to the staff — you ' re fabulous! And, thanks to Jostens ' rep Steve Wagner for showing us the ropes. From the en- tire staff, our deepest appreciation (and sympathy) to Bret Barrett — you ' re mondo-bitchen.
