EXTRA READ ALL-ABOUT-IT 10 BULL ' S EYE GETS ON TARGET. STORY AFTER STORY. I ' m having thoughts of having a ca- reer in journalism, and being on the staff is helpful. It also makes me feel good when I see my work and my stories in the paper. Shan Bloomenstein-sports editor. I wanted to help get the newspaper off on a good start and I know I will benefit from the journalism. Alan Robertazzi- editor-in-chief. I like to write, I had classes in journalism before and I enjoyed it just as much. Amy Kuhnert-reporter. Thoughts of moving towards a journalistic career ran through some of the Bull ' s Eye gave all members an opportunity to present their work and gain experience. Reporting, designing pages, paste-up and writing were just a few things that the staff learned, to make the Bull ' s Eye a quality paper. With all this, the staff, especially the editor ' s devoted extra time to the paper. Even before school started. Bull ' s Eye members sold ads voluntarily and worked on an extra issue to be published during the last weeks of summer in order to meet their deadline on the first week of school. Having only fifth period for class time, extra hours were spent. Appointments were made afterschool and before school, in the con- vience of the interviewee. Editors had to work on things a week earlier in order to make dead- lines. Bull ' s Eye Group Rates 81

Taurus staffers don ' t know when to stop! OOn the go 24 hours a day, in and out of classes, interviewing all sports, or- ganizations, and activities, the TAU- RUS staff was on top of things at all times. One of the most hectic parts of yearbook was the deadlines. It followed the infamous Murphy ' s Law of Yearbook — anything that could go wrong did go wrong! . . . It ' s 10:00 p.m., copy isn ' t finished. 11:00 p.m. I can ' t think of anything to write. Midnight. Forget it, I ' ll just do it later, i have to start my layout. . . .Well, if Ann doesn ' t like this I ' ll just have to do it again. Now the pictures. Where did I put them? I have to get them cropped or Linda will kill me. And the greas e pencil — of all the times to lose it! Those were just a few of the many incidents that went on during a deadline before every layout, copy, and picture was turned in suc- cessfully and stamped with approval. The students on the TAURUS staff worked double time during the year to accomplish what was needed to be done for almost every- one on staff had never worked on a yearbook before in their life. Hardly anyone knew what he was doing at first. We were all just going in circles, asking everyone else what to do, commented Wendy Muller. As the year moved on, everyone managed quite well on his own, except for the little things like asking, What ' s our job number again? or I can ' t remember, are there 44 or 54 characters per line? Although the TAURUS staff had their share of difficult times, by trying to finish deadlines on time, worrying if their pictures had been taken, and wondering if their copies would fit, there were always plenty of good times to brighten up the hard ones. The work didn ' t seem to compare with all the fun we had on staff, stated junior Maryrose Mendoza, we were always doing something fun to top off the hard days. ▼ SIDE BY SIDE, Taurus Staff editors, Ann Reyes and Linda Bundy decide on which pictures should go into the yearbook- The editors had final say on everything! WORKING OVERTIME A WORKING SIDE BY SIDE. Karen Jensen, Hubert Kim. and Heather Moore show how students work and help each other on staff. Closeness and friendship was really important on staff. WHERE DID ALL THE PICTURES GO? Photogra- phers Mike Dingess and Bobby Jones wonder what hap- pened to the roll of film. Taking great pictures isn ' t as easy as you think! comnnents Bobby Jones. 82 Group Rates Taurus
