Making Memories The Yearbook stat? did a great job putting together our yearbook for this year and it may be one ofthe best ever. There were quite a few old statters that returned from last year and last year's co-editor, Kim Templeton, became this year's editor-in-chief. This year's co-editor, Joane Zimmerman, is also a long time staffer. The entire class put all of the effort possible into making this yearbook really great.
