earbook: a year-round job To the average student or teacher, it may seem that all the year- book staff did was roam the halls and sneak food into the Production Room. However, contrary to popular belief, the staff put in a lot of hard work and ex- tra hours. Work on the book began during the summer before school was even a glim- mer in most students’ minds. Mr. Robert Adams, yearbook advi- sor, held early morning meetings at his house during the summer months. These were organizational meetings, and the main purpose of them was to get the edi- tors together to start thinking about the book. Irene Nieuwenhuis, editor-in-chief, was in charge of most of the organization of the book. She said that this job was difficult when she had to tell the staff what to do. It was the job of the three section ed- itors to assign individual deadlines to their sections. Kris Rayman was layout editor, Robyn Trew, photo editor and Caitlin Ellefson, copy editor. Rayman’s favorite part of being sec- tion editor was, “Knowing my ideas are going into the book and being respected by the staff for my judgement.” Trew also liked that part of being photo editor. She felt the hardest thing about her job was, “Putting up with ev- eryone in a cramped darkroom and still producing quality photos.” “Being copy editor was great be- cause I got along with my staff so well and I never had to yell at them to get things done,” Ellefson remembered. “I guess you have to be smarter than the comput- er,” Jeff Buntgen thinks as he tries to get the printer to work. Brent Schumacher cuts negatives and gets ready to file them. During the lunch hour, Mr. Adams meets with Kris Rayman, Irene Nieuwenhuis and Caitlin Ellefson to discuss possibilities for the book. David Wight makes sure the copy matches up with his layout. Irene Nieuwenhuis explains which pictures would be best for Tammy Dush's layout. 16 Academics

aried skills taught in art he art classes taught many dif- ferent skills. Drawing 1 and II were taught by Miss Jean Detlefsen. Drawing I was an introduction to drawing exer- cises and techniques. Drawing II was a continuation of the investigation of drawing materials and techniques gain- ed from the Drawing I class. Other classes taught by Detlefsen included Lettering, Commercial Art, Painting I and II and Advanced Art. Lettering was the study of styles, methods and techniques of lettering. Old English, Roman, Gothic and script styles were studied. Commercial Art introduced the stu- dents to art related careers as well as the materials and techniques used by com- mercial artists. Painting I students learned differ- ent methods of painting using water- colors, acrylics and oils. Painting II stu- dents used the techniques and materials introduced in Painting I to develop painting skills. Advanced Art was offered to only juniors and seniors who were interested in art related careers and showed out- standing ability in the arts. There were two other teachers in- volved in teaching the art classes. They were Mrs. Leoda Davis and Miss Ruth Schlobohm. Mrs. Davis taught Printmaking and Sculpture I. The Fibers I classes was the study of experimenting with types of fibers and making them into various designs. The areas of weaving, batik, soft sculpture and stitchery were studied. Fibers II was the continuation of Fibers I in a more ad- vanced manner. Other classes taught by both Davis and Schlobohm were Pottery Ceramics I and Pottery Ceramics II. Brian Schultz works on his project in lettering class. Steve Skalak smoothes his draped pot in pottery. Rodney Zulkoski concentrates on making the base of his clay box perfectly. Roy Krings smiles as he works with his pastels in drawing while Eric Mueller observes. Shelli Smith tries to figure out what she did wrong on her stitchery project. 18 Academics
