Not Just Colors AOR EES Blue and White not only stands for Classical’s flamboyant school colors, it was also the name of the school’s distin- guished yearly publication, the Yearbook. Hopefully you don’t have the mistaken idea that this yearbook just ap- peared. The fact of the matter was that a staff of thirty three students, both ju- niors and seniors, worked diligently for approximately seven months to complete the publication. Each person on the staff had responsibilities to uphold and dead- lines which had to be promptly met. It was only through the collective efforts of the entire staff that a book of such excel- lent quality was produced. The completion of a single page in- volved much hard work and creativity. This dedication included writing and typ- ing stories, making an outline of the page, fitting the pictures into the outline and writing captions for the pictures. Well, maybe that sounds easy but any yearbook staffer would tell you it is not. The staff of thirty three students was divided into nine sections, and each sec- tion had a very capable and trained edi- tor. The sections and the editors of the 1983 yearbook were: Activities, Doug 74 Yearbook Above left: The Activities Staff: Dion Woods, Ka- ren Scott, Monique Rowtham, Mary O’Connor, and Doug Quirk.

Quirk; Seniors, Jennifer Sheehan; Under- classmen, Sandy Robbins; Features, Cathy Clayton; Index, Andrea Barnett; Sports, Kris Pellegrino; Student Life, Mary Scarfe; and Academics, Liz Friedman. The Editor-in-chief was the proficient Ly nn Misulis. Lynn’s dedication and lead- ership skills earned her this important po- sition and she handled this job with an unequaled amount of class and capability. Mr. Dinnie was the adviser of the Blue and White Staff. His job was also one which required dedication and an unbe- lievable amount of patience. Together Mr. Dinnie and Lynn proofread every page to insure that it was as close to perfection as possible. To become a member of the Blue and White staff was truly an honor and to become part of this special home- room you must try out at the end of your sophomore year. If you were lucky enough to be selected you would be a part of this special group for both your junior and senior year. So now you know that Blue and White were not just the school’s colors but was also the name of Classical’s notorious and simply awesome yearbook staff. Se Sei

These smiles were brought about by a group of twenty-five students that formed the remarkable Audio Visual Aides, otherwise known as A.V.A. The members, with much enthusiasm and drive, produced these smiles by deliver- ing films and projectors to the class for which someone was sure not to have completed the homework. In order to deliver these smile produc- ing films and projectors these dedicated students of A.V.A. had to come to school early., They also went around to all the Left: Row |: Jane Ruble, Adam McComb, Vivian Jackson, Christine Rickson, Tanya Gavin, Steven Bacon, Janet Yelle.

Mr. Peck and the members of A.V.A. ran this much needed operation from its home base, room 205. The members of A.V.A. were between tenth and twelfth grade and had to have been at Classical for one year. The mem- bers all worked hard this past year and did a great job. They deserve a great many thanks. So here’s to you members of A.V.A.! Above: Ed Hiney tries to figure out how to put the equipment back together again.
