QLIETZAL GAINS EXPERIENC The Quetzal staff was busy from summer until the day after school ended preparing the yearbook for a June delivery and the supple- ment for fall delivery. Annuals were distributed on the last few days of school, this way, the seniors received their annuals and didn't have to return to school during summer registration. As a staff with only one returning member, the Queztal class received much education in design technique and theme develop- ment. Staff members raised funds to pay for their attendance at training seminars. They had two candy sales. The first sale helped send students to the Southern California Journalism Education As- sociation's convention at the Anaheim Marriott. Students also at- V V . -. ,M ...mb - ... ,. tended a one day seminar at California State University, Fullerton. that was put on by Taylor Publishing Company. Both of these activi- ties helped students learn the basics of yearbook production.
