To enhance both the color and black and white pages, a 1 pt. black ruleline frame is found on all the Student Life pages. Only dominants which bleed off the page disobey the border. To add character to this year's book, an addition of quote boxes has been made. Within these 2 pt. black rtilelined rectan- gles, is a student's picture and a quote of his or herls conceming the general focus of the spread on which it is located. This year also brought the computer age to the yearbook. A Compac Personal Computer was used to write and edit stories, captions and headlines. All page lay-outs and ruleline graphics were done on the computer. This insured near perfect pages. Rather than sending large bulky boxes to the printer, now just the disc, photographs and final layout sheets are sent. Copy sheets have all but been elimina- ted. Each section has its own column format and are as follows: People, modules with five columns across two pages, Student Life, nine columns per spread, Academics, seven across two, Clubs 8a Organizations, five columns per page, Ads 84 Community, 2 columns per page. The first yearbook sales began late in the year, only beginning in October. All yearbooks purchased in advance were redu- ced by S10 fthe regular price being 5403. 70 books were orde- red early and 420 were ordered for later sales in June once the books have arrived. Our yearbook of 224 pages was printed by Hunter Publishing Company, of which Dan Gleason is our representative. All our photographic supplies, develop- ing and printing, and professi- onal photography Uunior and Senior portraitsj are supplied and taken by Carol Studios of Lynbrook. Following are messages from this year's editorial staff, which presents the 1987 Harborlight to the student body and staff of Harborfields High School. Laura Carillo, Trish Endres and Kirstin the last deadline of the year in March. Wemer enter a story into the computer for 4 ii d d-1 . E This is my first experience in coordinating a yearbook. It has been a year which has been any- thing but dull. The year has been filled with deadlines, frus- trations, frazzled nerves and mo- ments of panic, but it has also been a time of amazement, leam- ing, satisfaction and accomplish- ment. What has amazed me the most is that a handful of youngsters between the ages of fifteen and eighteen can tum out a book of over two hundred pages. They develop a theme, write the stories, take photographs, design the pages and do all the art work. About the only thing they are not responsible for is running the printing presses. This is no easy undertaking considering they att- end classes, do homework and al- most all are involved in other school activites. Many people have contributed in various ways to making this book a success, but none more so than our chief editor Tricia En- dres. Without her expertise, dedication and patience, I'm not sure there would have been a yearbook. When l consented to be the advisor, I did not know the first thing about putting a year- book together. Tricia not only coordinated the book, she trained all the editors and the advisor! When deadlines drew near and panic set in, Tricia would say Don't worry Miss Kuch, we'll get it done . And she did! So Trish, a very special thank you for your hard work, spirit. dedi- cation and for teaching an old dog new tricks . We could not have done this without you. Other members of our crack staff who made this all possible and deserve a pat on the back in- clude: editors Kirstin Werner, Laura Carillo, Scott Muscatello, Angela Cheng, Ann Sochi, Queen of Lay-outs, Liz O'Driscoll, Treasurer, Joel H --- - :F Ms. Kathy Kuch YEARBOOK ADVISOR Rodgers, resident artist, photographers Jim CNikonJ Ryer- son, David Wallens, and Paul Miller. Thank you. Other notes of thanks got to: Dr. R. McCloat: For the challenge, faith and not running out of the office when he saw me coming. Mr. J. Garvey: For helping take care of the 1001 little things that can drive an advisor crazy. Mr. Dan Gleason, Hunter Pub- lishing: For having the patience of a saint. Mrs. M. Lomangino: For the en- dless supply of rubber bands, paper clips, tape, and a 101 other things. English and Social Studies Departments: For their flexibility with class pictures. Coaches and Club Advisors: For the stories and the pictures. The Main Office: For still talking to me after the sale of yearbooks. Industrial Arts Department: For unlimited use of their telephone. Mrs. C. Smith: For rosters and schedules. The Staff: Who still managed to smile after having their pictures taken for a fourth time cause we couldn't find the first three pic- tures. Cofopfzon 2 75

While at many schools, and previously at Harborfields, work had already been commenced during the summer months, the Harborlight had not yet received a senior advisor. Thus, the development of the book's general theme came from a small handful of students who awaited a supervisor and to begin the actual work on the book. In mid- September, the yearbook's current advisor, Miss Kathy Kuch, agreed to take on the responsibility, or more realisti- cally, an endeavor involving publications and productions - an area in which she had never had previous experience. As a result, the months up until November moved slowly for the yearbook's staff. With only two editors remain- ing on the staff from previous years, a general consensus was made to boost the number of staffers by holding an informa- tional meeting open to all Harborfields students in late September. Nearly 100 hundred people came to the meeting held during one 5th period. However, this number dwindled each week, and ultimately became a staff of ten editors flisted below by sec- tionj and fifteen or so other students who helped in various ways: doing layouts, writing copy, typing Cboth on and off the computerj, taking photographs, and doing countless other odds and ends for regularly scheduled deadlines.

The students were to be the agents, their activities - covert, their sports endeavors - field opera- tions. In a similar manner, each individual section's editor developed a more specific ,'link after two hours of steady watch over blue pica boxes. or theme that would apply most adequately to his pages. Once the generalities of the book were decided upon, the specifics of producing a professi- onal publication came into play. The cover, as desighned and ex- ecuted by Tricia Endres and Karen Higgins, was the first part of the book submitted to Hunter publishing Company. Hunter green was chosen as the back- round color both to encompass the colors of the school and also to provide a contrast to the cream color of the manilla folder. The Harborfields High School '87 and spy figure were submitted by Joel Rodgers as aitwork ready to be photographed. Typeface is Venture Script and the paper used is 80 Enamel with a gloss coat- ing. 100 Hunter Luster was used in the color section. To bring consistency to the book, Joel completed a representative spy figure to be used on each section's division page and throughout its subse- quent pages. The ready to be photographed artwork on the front endsheet is also by Joel Rodgers and encloses the Table of Contents. The story which strdches from the front endsheet to the back, and is then repeated was written by Ann Sochi. It in- cludes the names of fifty or so seniors within the context of a spy story, exemplifying the book's general theme. Here, the paper chosen is 80 Endsheet Stock in Sandstone with copy in 10 pt. bold caps and lower case in PMS Green 149. The next decisions to be made involved the typeface to be used for bodycopy, captions and head- lines. All bodycopy is in 10 pt. Times Roman and fully justified with captions in 8 pt. bold. Head- lines on the opening, closing, division, and Colophon pages are in 24, 36 and 48 pt. Venture Script, occasionally incorporat- ing a higher point size when chosen. All other headlines are in Times Roman and similarly vary- ing point sizes. Once the specifics of the book directly involved with Hunter Publishing Company were resolved, a ladder of the book was formally decided upon by Tricia and Karen. Each assistant editor was then assigned the number and placement of the pages for which he would be responsible to complete. Once again, the senior picture, which is in color, was chosen to be pla- ced in the yearbook as a tip-in between pages 48 and 49. The rest of the color to be found in the

Kuch Well, I don't think in any figment of your imaginations did you consider the possibilities of what was in store for you when you joined the yearbook staff. There were times when I think we all would have liked to have dropped everything, smashed the compu- ter against the wall and run. But, we didnit and, well guys, I think we've done a pretty terrific job. Scott and Jessica, although I seemed to have left you both in the dark, your work was a great help and appreciated. Angela, true, we may have missed a few of those rulelines, but your sec- tion still looks great. Ann, what could I say to the one editor who mastered the computer and layouts in what seemed like a matter of minutes other than - you did good kid - and thanks for all the extra help and support you've given me. And no, I didn't forget, thank you isn't even en- ough for that fantastic cover sheet story. Laura, once a musketeer, always a musketeer. Jim, your Q f 216 Cofalbhon Patricia Endres EDITOR-IN-CHIEF expertise in photography have ul- timately made this yearbook what it is - so a sincere thanks. Joel, thank you, for all those pieces of art work and the time you have put in to help us all out even when we only gave you l day to do it. And of course Kirstin, without you all-nighters would never have been possible. Only you can still laugh at my jokes at 4:00 AM in the moming. You can't imagine how much your dedication, enthusiasm and friendship has meant - so don't try. And lastly, a special thanks to Miss Kuch, our new yearbook advisor. You've been incredible, we couldn't have chosen someone better. When I was told I would be training the rookie , I never thought you would catch on so quickly - even if you did sometimes insist on trapping that white space. We all appreciate your hours spent on yearbook rather than skiing and hope you do also. Trust me, this was not a bad year compared to most. We've been organized and on time - two definite pluses. And I can't forget to thank Mr. Glea- son, our Hunter Publishing Company representative, who has been patient through choos- X. 1 Kirstin Wemer PEOPLE CO-EDITOR 4 be . j 'i 't r I . ,.

Love, Trish When I said yes to working on the yearbook, I hadn't given much thought to it. I didn't know what I was getting into Chalk. It turned out, of course, to be dif- ferent from anything I've done before. Somethings were the same though - the confusion, the last minute cramming, the five- thirty bus... Thanks, Tricia and Ms. Kuch for being patient, and teaching me about picas, crop- ping, 'fTimes Roman , trapped white space C! D, etc., etc. Maybe next year we'll figure out that computer, and I'll learn to focus that camera. Ann Yearbook staff members search through some of J im's photogrphs in an attempt to find a perfect match for their spreads. The job is DOI fun as is exemplified by the perplexed faces.
