Yearbook Staff Faces I-lardshlps y the Agi-H-Eco got off to an . extremeiy cohtroversiai start as sohooi began. Students learned that the book would be more unusuai than any previous yearbook in the schoors history, and many were unable to accept the change. Hardest hit were the seniors as they discovered that there would be no environmentals, baby pictures or 50 page senior section in this year's edition. Others were upset that there wouid be no gag captions or snapshot pages and disliked the idea of body type being printed throughout the book. A rumor that the cover was blue was circuiated and it took weeks to settle the crowd. All of these factors combined to prompt unhappy students to make threatening phone coils to the staff at ali hours of the night. After an extensive promotional campaign, the displeased students were quieted and production began one month late. The cover had been created especiaiiy for the school, pre-empting the traditional maroon cover used in 37 previous editions. The first thirty-two pages of the book had been finished, inciuding the color section and were at Karin Kuntz's home for final adjustments before mailing. Then disaster struck. On October 34, she and her family arrived home from the Austin game to find their home in flames, taking everything with it. A speciai set of deadlines were set for the school again they were ready to be sent, off. Then fate struck with another biow. Vandals broke into the yearbook office and stoie the cola section, forcing a third reworking o along with the toss of many W irreplacebie pictures. After camera probiems in December and January the finai copy shipment was made February. Thus a new staff with ont' two members from previous years and having no prior journaiistic knowiedge, no journaiism ctass. anc no advisor, along with a little aid from others to do some writing managed to put together a book different from any in the sc:hooi's history. and the pages were redone.
