The Charger newspa- per, and Lisette Valla- dares, the editor of the E.T.C., literary magazine, are quietly waiting for their interview to begin. lordanna: The Agoura High School Charger newspaper. Yes, that's what this story is about. Lisette: Hey, wait a min- ute. I thought this story was about Agoura's liter- ary magazine, E.T.C. Did you know that means En- couragement To Create? Interviewer: Hold it! Why don't you two write the story together? Lisette: What a great idea! lordanna: Let's start again. The Agoura High School newspaper, The Charger, and the Agoura High School literary magazine, E.T.C. Yes, that's what this article is about. THe two staffs work so hard creating literary master- pieces that are remem- bered for a day, at the most. Well, all that hard The E.T.C. staff is Top: G. Greenfield, R. Magid, H. Racimora, P. Kameya. Front: advisor D. Pratt, D. Prosin, G. Asuncion, 1. Hartman, and M. Bren- nan. Members not pic- tured include L. Valla- dares, E. Rosen, and M.H. Klayman. Each staff mem- ber was an editor of a sec- tion and this responsibility encouraged the staff to work harder. 714 E T.C. ., .gt J, X., work is worth it. There isn't another feeling which can compare to the satisfaction of publishing the newspaper and liter- ary magazine. While most students think that publications like the newspaper and the liter- ary magazine somehow appear out of thin air, this is far from true. These publications are put to- gether by dedicated staffs i An interesting experience. - jordanna Berger i of reporters, editors, and, of course, the editor-in- chief. When you think of an edi- tor-in-chief, you probably think of a person relaxing in a chair, smoking a cigar, and pushing all the real workers around. Well, the truth is that being the big cheese is a lot harder than one imagines. Editors are the sounding boards. How's this story lor- danna? Lisette, could -14 l , i . le Tiii GTO C you read this poem? But the editor-in-chief would have nothing to be proud of if it weren't for the dedicated editors and reporters. They are the backbone of any publica- tion and must receive rec- ognition. They are the ones who do all the proof reading, the writing, the interviews, and, of course, the legwork. Before you throw away that newspaper or put that literary magazine in your closet, remember all the effort expended to create these publications. The staff members of The Charger and the E.T.C. staff enjoyed putting these publications togeth- er for you. - lordanna Berger and Gail Greenfield if . 5 A T N, A . ., , fix - rf ' i 'il , iff , f -uf- I I X l K .

F000 FUR THOUGHT t's deadline time and I still have to draw up eighteen layouts, write eighteen matching copies, type and proofread those same copies, write over fifty captions, number the photos, proofread the layouts, and send the completed and enveloped layouts, copies, and photos to our publisher, Iostens. But four photos are missing, the typewriter ribbon dies, there are three unidentified people smiling in photos, and there are no orange grease pencils to be found. And the worst: there's no food anywhere. Then, I awake in E-5 fit was just a nightmarel to find my self surrounded by all the work I dreamt of but the nightmare's over - there is food. I didn't know so much went into making the yearbook, commented Nancy Christianson when she walked into E-5 one day in fall. What she saw was one layout, or drawing, of 288. She didn't see the photos or the copy. She didn't see the hours of work put into the page. Yearbook is a tremendous amount of work, but no more so than council, sports, drama, or jobs. But people sometimes think we take pictures and send them to our publisher, Iostens, and they send us a complete yearbook. Not only do we take 5. Jennifer Grossman, re- sponsible for the creativity 216 Yearbook Staff and develop our own pictures, but we design each page, write all the copies, or articles, place all the graphics, identify all the people, interview, and more. On many Sundays from 11:00 to 7:00 or so, the school was invaded by members of the yearbook staff. Weekend Deadlines fnotice the namel called for drastic measures: Nilla Wafers, chips, soda I soder to those who know mel, and other 'Yearbookz a way of life, and inevitable death.' - Bob Rich munchies fall food for thoughtl. One weekend it was pouring and so the electricity blew. As I coordinately felt my way towards the door I knocked over a can of soda and immediately proceeded to scatter any nearby papers lest a day's work be soaked in Coke. We also discovered, due to the combined efforts of mother nature's storm and the engineers who designed the drainage at our school, Agoura Lake and High School River that night. Iudy Gaviati's car is still drying. But weekends were only part of the swirling chaos, and section, enjoys the refreshing taste of Diet Coke. 8. Iudy without the help of others I would have sunk. First I'd like to thank Silsby Eastman - none of you were expecting that. The day you let me complete a deadline showed me there is a philosophical good . Thanks also to the staff, who suffered my numerous apologies. IYou'll all get individual thank you's when we sign yearbooks.I But I'd like to let the whole school know that this is the first staff that was dedicated enough and got along to the point where we could all meet after school for those grocery store field trip pictures. Thanks also to Iudy Gaviati, expert photographer, layout- person, editor, speller, and human being whom without I would have chewed more gum. A final thanks to all those I haven't mentioned - those who indirectly helped make this year's yearbook the biggest and best. As a final note - if I had one wish, no make it two, I'd first figure out which species of elf, dwarf, or gnome ate, borrowed, or stole those orange grease pencils. Then I'd make all those same orange grease pencils GREEN. - Andrew Brosnan Gaviati, yearbook advisor, finds eating salad relishable. Z Ita 5 POP tarts . . POP' tarts P.
