Yearbook Well, it's that time again! A closing of the school year, but not a closing on the good times that we've all had at Poudre High School. The Yearbook staff hopes that this book captured all of your good times, some of the sad ones, and perhaps some of Poudre's and our culture's history. We are all in this big family and we've done a great deal together. Our hopes and and our disappointments were cap- tured too, but what matters is that we did it all together . . . We're All The Same . . . lmpalas! We can look at the closing of the school year, not as a closed door, but as a new beginning. We've all done a lot of growing through our past experiences and our changes. Once again, we all hope you enjoy YOUR book, because without you, there would be no book. Remember, this book contains all of your memories, and with these memories, you can remember your family's hopes and dreams. were HF ,YMQSQ First row: Mr. Hubka, Cassy Wilson, Alison McClanahan.

Q... sf . .W . 2: I 1 X X is Silver Quill Silver Quill has come along way since its first publication. lt used to be typewriters and copying each sheet off. Now, it is computers and typesetting printers. Two to three years ago, the school got new type- setters to improve the looks the newspaper. Now that the staff can print their own paper instead of sending it to a printer, the price is a lot less. This year, the Silver Quill staff saves approximately 5400.00 on each edition in typesetting costs alone. To be on the staff, the stu- dent needs to be responsible, take initiative, and have the desire to do stories and articles. Writing ability is not the main quality looked for in the student. The desire to do it is first and the ability is second. Also, a student needs to be tactful and respect other's views in their arti- cles. This year, the Silver Quill staff used the new Macintosh com- puter and increased the size of the staff to make a better newspaper.
