'MM Would you buy anything from this man? Staff member Steve Abels prowls the halls with the new edition of Shades. Caught in the act. Alia Covel uses her latest sales pitch on Rachel Moots and Tony Yang. Anything to attract attention. This winter, a ceiling sign was used to invite submissions to Shades. SHADES More Thanjufz' oemr -Terri Palmer, Junior Editor CAHS has one feature that few schools can boast: an entirely student-run literary magazine, Shades. The Lit. Magfs function is to take student submissions throughout the year, and then print them up. Proceeds from the sales of Shades more than pay for the cost of printing. Submissions are taken in every literary area, as well as the graphic arts. Most printed submissions are poetry, as well as some short stories, but the magazine receives everything up to and including full-length plays. Although lack of space precludes the printing of anything so ambitious, there is no lack of variety in the final product. Past magazines have included entries from every conceivable area - humor, satire, serious fiction, non-fiction, haiku, free verse, and poetic prose. Some of the more unususal entries of the past years have been a school anthem contest Q We are the Pegasi, yes we are . . . J, surrealistic poetry, recoun- tings of death in a family, and bizarre sagas . As in the past, Shades was run entirely on a volun- tary basis. Although there were editors responsible for the various areas involved in the magazine, individual staff members were forced to collect submissions, edit them, and help with the printing. The system usually worked, although sometimes it was hard to find help with the messier parts of printing. ORGANIZATIONS: Shades 103

However, most of these people haven't experienced an actual tap- ing. It's not what you would ex- pect. Here's what happened at one taping this year. Since it was a hot day and no one would see our legs, two of us decided to wear shorts. The host, Bill Shiffman, was not prepared for this and exclaimed, You must be f8r'V0Q'n me! But he recovered and we went on with the show. First, Bill tried to loosen us up by asking how our football teams were doing. We said ours was undefeated. Then we guessed our 104 ORGANIZATIONS: ln The Know final score in order to win prizes, including various used electronic devices and assorted cello parts. Next we filed to our places. Everyone had to be careful at this point because leaning back could have caused a serious fall since there was no railing. The plywood sets also had signs that said, DO NOT POUND! since they were liable to fall apart. Finally we got started with the taping. The only break in the action came at halftime when the floor manager ran around trying to find a box for one of the opposing coaches to stand on since she was too short. Eventually, after the waiting and wondering, we won the game. RESERVE -C. Scott and B. Yang, members Hands poised over mechanical buzzers, the CAHS Reserve In The Know Team practices for their up- coming competition. The team met twice a week after school and occa- sionally during lunch periods. Basically, Reserve is a training group for students interested in joining the Varsity Team. We prac- tice questions in all school subjects and try to outscore our other team members. The Reverse team competes in a league with other schools, such as Dublin and St. Charles, and this year we were undefeated. For this accomplishment we received a large trophy.
