Next, there ' s Anna Shourd with her constant stressing of her wooords When Anna ' s not stressssing her wooords she ' s one of our typists, so if this copy is changed, we know whoooo did it. Our other typist is Dolores Chandler, who always hap- pens to be busy during deadlines! Dolores is really a very hard worker with only one small problem: we had to teach her how to type As ad manager, Karen Riddle keeps up with our money. Producing this book costs fifteen thousand dol- lars and we are presently fourteen thousand dollars in debt. The last we heard from Karen she was going out the door muttering something about catching a plane to Rio Jeff Bruce, who is the only senior photographer enjoys acting as well as taking pictures Right up until the year- book has come out, Jeff has been practicing as the Invisible Man Good to see you back, Jeff. We are very proud of our sopho- more photographer. Earl Jackson. So far this year he has managed to take twenty rolls of film for the year- book. Out of these four hundred pic- tures. Earl managed to get forty- eight to turn out. Although forty-six were out of focus, we are very proud of Earl for his dedication. Our other photographer, Mike Hanner, is an excellent cameraman. His best pictures were probably taken during the Miss Pinson Valley Pageant and at the last football game Don ' t worry Mike, Mrs. Hill can ' t stay mad forever; check back around May. She will probably give you your camera back then. Good Luck! Sonja Baucom, the staff copywri- ter has a very strange sneezing and singing ability. Which one draws the most attention and comments is still undecided. Her favorite thing to do is stay up until four a.m. writing copy, for the fun of it.

What ' s a Deadline Anyway? In the beginning of the year, the CHIEFTAIN staff was a group of people, some close friends, some mere acquaintances, and a few who were complete strangers. As the year progressed however, new relationships formed. The staff began to work together with one goal in mind: to achieve a yearbook that people would enjoy, because it had something for everyone. Aunt LINDA HILL, is our yearbook advisor and as such does a successful job unparalleled. She tolerates the crazy antics of her staff, frequently works on the book until late in the night and even enjoys it all, sometimes. The two editors of this year ' s CHIEFTAIN are Anna Box and Bill Chiles. Anna has a unique perception in that she has discovered that she is perfect. For those who have the extreme good luck to be around her, she lets them know this quite volubly. OK Anna, the staff knows you ' re perfect, but do you have to tell everyone? Bill Chiles, with his curious sense of humor, is a totally unusual person. His wit is probably epitomized by the classic joke about his sister and her trip to church barefoot. When Bill ' s not busy agreeing with Mrs. Hill, he is hard at work. Hey Baby, If these words seem a little out of place to your age, don ' t worry, it ' s just Valerie Smith; she works on Organizations and lets everyone know what she thinks.

Robert Brooks and Rusty Wynn, who are responsible for the Sports section, enjoy relaxing by going to the disco. Because this mood often hits them during Annual Staff they create their own by locking some unlucky staffers into the Annual Staff room, and flicking the lights on and off. Any knowledgeable staff member will immediately plead for mercy from the torturous singing and dancing to We Are Family. Possibly our most serious person is Rebecca Brooks. She had to get her Annual Staff period fourth, because no one could stand to be that serious. We won ' t tell anyone you are addicted to Harlequin Romances. By the way, are you through with Love Passed Me By yet? If you want to know an odd nick- name for something, ask Steve Adams what a Ninner is. When Steve is not calling someone a Nin- ner or Ninnae he manages to work on Classes with Rebecca. Laurie McGahey, who worked on Faculty, proved that her best asset was writing. We think Laurie ' s first deadline has altered her brain per- manently. Every so often she is heard to mutter where ' s my picture of Miss Sanders . . .? Valerie Prewitt, who works on Notables, is a very fashion con- scious girl. She often can ' t decide what to wear, which explains her wearing five layers of clothing on occasion. She peels them off, period by period. By Annual Staff period she lets it all hang out. Although she denies it, the real reason Gina Frongillo is on the Chieftain Staff is to get her picture in the yearbook. Really Gina, don ' t you have enough already? Oddly enough, Gina works on Notables. The long hours of hard work that these individuals have put in have drawn us all closer. We hope that you will enjoy looking at this book as much as we enjoyed creating it. SONJA BAUCOM
