Co-chairmen Bruce Davis and Barbara Temple and secretary-treasurer Ann Bethel were assisted by Mrs. Hollenbeck, Mrs. Seligman, and Mr. Wichter- man, advisers.

The biggest project was the bond drive held in the spring to finance the year's exchange.

its literary students Ida What goes into the making of a yearbook? A great deal more than most students realize. We, the ISLA staff, working with our editor Linda Cohon, started with the task of choosing a theme, and pro- ceeded to try and incorporate it into an interesting and well-orga- nized yearbook. How do you get a balanced layout? How should the copy read? What type of cover will express the theme best? How one solves these maior problems, as well as the minor problems, is what adds up to a successful annual. This year's ISLA represents a year's worth of long hours and innumer- able decisions of nineteen dedicated people. Q Q -Q E. 13 Pegasus Pegasus '65 was indeed a showcase for Mercer Island High's creative authors. Short stories, poems, dramas, and odd works filled Pegasus with the fascinating works of thirty school authors. This year Pegasus strode forward into creating an improved, aesthetic magazine with advancements in printing and art work. Heading Pegasus' staff of thirty were Cathy Crosetto, editor-in- chief, and Robert Freund, faculty adviser. Pam Carpenter was editorial board chairman, Greg Palmer was program chairman, and Garth MacDonald and Kim Stowell headed the art commit- tee. Muchwasdonetocreatea truly exciting magazine of ' literary expression. 69 Linda Cohan, ISLA Editor, paused while proofreading a layout to answer a question posed by one of the staff. Her editor's headache did not seem to show. Thea Peterson and Kim Stowell, art editors, worked together with Lance King, business manager, and Janet Elo, copy editor, on the advertising pages. ftopl Debbie Hicks, faculty editor, Ann Morrison, organizations editor, Trina Thompson and John Heard, activities editors, and Mrs. Patten, adviser, put on the finishing touches before the deadline. floftl Happiness is discovering your layout fits.

world democracy and expression in photography Photo Club Ten years ago, in 1954, a photo club was started by Mr. Lynden Watts. Since then the club has been supplied with hundreds of dollars worth ot equipment. During its tenth year, this equipment and the darkroom in the 300 wing were under almost constant use after school, Adviser to the photo club this year was Mr. Wichterman. Al Swensson, president, along with John Hendrickson, vice- president, helped the other members of the club to master the basic techniques involved in photography. Their aim in pho- tography was not to capture or repro- duce nature, but to re-express nature with the use ot camera and tilm. Activities ot the photo club included sup- plying photos tor the ISLA, the MERCER HI TIMES, and the MERCER ISLAND RE- PORTER. J.S.A. Students were able to gain a better understanding ot the procedures involved in the workings ot a democratic govern- ment through the Junior Statesmen of America Club. The club's activities in- cluded participation in a model United Nations and a Model Congress, and a visit to the Parliament at Victoria, B.C. Club functions were led by Jesse Wilkins, president, Tom Gunn, vice-president, Candace Mackay and Lynn Allen, secre- taries, Dan Seligman, parliamentarian, and Mr. Hoskin, adviser.
