University of Notre Dame - Dome Yearbook (Notre Dame, IN)

Page 336 text:

the yearbook has a strange calendar. It doesn ' t fall in line with the school year, and it certainly doesn ' t start in January. The yearbook process begins around May and ends just about a year later. Specifically April 21st for this book. My point? It takes a long time! The theme for this book, The Cold Stanckird, was conceived in an economics class around April of 2007. I knew there was a reason I took that class.. .And from there, the idea took off! All summer was spent coming up with design ideas and about nine drafts later, there was finally a ladder. At the end of the summer, the dedicated staff met at Pokagon State Park for some bonding with our fellow media friends. Although many people were new to the Dome, all of them jumped right into their new jobs. I would like to applaud the 19 person staff on meeting each of Iheir five major deadlines. The assignments were not always easy (often requiring much time on Facebook), the computers were unusually slow, and let ' s face it, the mess in the office was not exactly conducive to working. I know there were many long nights spent below South Dining Hall listening to scary creaks outside the office door. But then again it was pretty awesome having 24 hour access to the dining hall. All of the editors had plenty of pages to keep them occupied each deadline, especially when it came to editing the final sports |)ages, completing all ]{)(, pages of the senior section and indexing what seemed like hundreds of thousands of names. In the end, the staff came together and invested much time and energy into what can be considered I a yearbook masterpiece, or at least that is how we see it. story n K,ithlcen Martinez Amy W.iJJM ' r (IH student lilo fJry.iii Atiern ()8 Anclrevv Holmos 08 Teresa HaiKock OSM.irs ' S(hul)en ' OJ sports sports t.iur.i ScMgi, ■() ' ) tiinls.iyt,ilnniui O ' l M.i(lil ZdIIo IW Mary Cuiuoy 09 i uvi(ine DcSaiUii. t ' asst. niaiiaging editor Design pe iai events photo acailemits 334 the gold standard

etter from the editor For some reason this has been the most difficult article to write for this yearbook. Maybe it is because I have too much to say about everyone on staff. Each person brought something special to the table. I want to thank you all for the endless hours you spent on this book. My expectations were not just met, they were exceeded. And of course the yearbook would not have been so amazing if it were not my manag- ing editor. Jen, thank you for saving the yearbook multiple times, keeping me sane, and putting up with my organization OCD. I will really miss this staff. But, it is finally done!
