Editor’s Note Well, this year is over and 1 must admit I'm sorry' to see it end. It seems like I’ve had too much fun to have been a student at the same time. Working on this yearbook has been part of that fun. It is the best thing I’ll have to remind me of my Senior year. Sure the friends, class ring, tassel and cords, and diploma will bring back memories, but none can illustrate this year like Ramblings ’83. It is a treasurer that I’ll always cherish and 1 hope you will too. A great deal of work went into this book by many people. This staff was great and so was their work. We had some real swingers who kept things lively throughout the year. The most prominent one in my mind is Ruthic. I’ve come to the conclusion that this Commando Queen will spend the rest of her life in hot rollers. Lil’ Deb provided hypothesis with great scientific value: junk food can sustain life and Cameras can still run though filled to capacity with Coke and Tab cans. Colleen and I are M M buddies. We had great lunches outside Minimax of yogurt, gape soda, barbecued fritos, and, of course, M M’s. That unny made great caramal brownies too. Dear Allan was the best dressed of us all. (GQ all the way!) Itsgood to know that he got his window fixed so he wouldn't always have that wind blown look. John was good for a joke or two though most weren't any too proper. Laurie cheered us through the year to a big finish at the Schindler Ranch along with Mark and Nick. All three of them deserve a big cheer for their fantastic all-day party. Christy deserves praise for not only getting us shoestrings, but also Liquid Paper from Buffalo Pharmacy. Terri, well she tried but Ruthic influenced her too much ! (Just kidding). This Clubs section editor worked hard on chasingdown pictures and writing copy. Dingy Marie proved to be a valuable asset when she and Debbie finished the Fads and Fashion layout on the day of deadline. Those wonderful staffers who got the two most boring jobs arc Misty, Bcthy, and Ericka who did Classes and Index. They deserve many thanks. Kim and Jennifer became our ad solicitors to Alief businesses. Jeff, along with Marie, tackled the Vocations, which for the first time were put in a section of their own. Kim had the honor of putting the administration in their place, (in the faculty section ofeourse!). The two that spent most of their time running around the school in search of pictures and information for Clubs were Rhonda and Angie. My two favorite Brillo heads were Joel and Troy. For taking such bad pictures they sure spent a lot of time in the darkroom “printing” their best shots. Last and also least come the photographers. These poor people have had their brains rotted by Dcktol and Orbit bath. You can tell by the way they dress: everything from garish plaid pants and red silk Ralph Lauren ties with brown ducks to parachute pants and button downs buttoned all the way up! Oh well, I must say they did excellet work this year 294 Closing although I’m not humblely in their debt nor did I add th Editor's note to their page. Cathy, head photographer, was great about running he MG to all the football games though she preferra portraits. Lee Ann had a very candid approach to refusin photo work orders. She would simply tell any staffer tha she didn’t feel like it! Now Peter, he was real good abou taking pictures at a moment's notice. He also gave the bes parties as all of Alief knows (and probably everyone els since they all came). Chrisdid such good work and so muc! of it that he received the Journalism Award. Glenn joine us half way through the year and was by far the preppies photographer we have ever had. He had an MG lik Cathy’s except his was an orange Midget. These people di a lot of their work outside school and we appreciate then giving up their free time to take, process, and prin pictures. The entire staff deserves recognition for a job well done This yearbook was a big project and although we enjoye it. I'm sure we are all glad its finally finished. Three teachers in particular I would like to thank fo helping me through this year. First of all, and a ne addition to the Elsik faculty, Mr. Fairman. Though heci us all a lot of slack, we still learned the details of ou government and economy. He was never too busy to tc us about college and the “real world”. Next is Mrs. Malon who postponed essay tests and didn’t count tardies (o attendance for that matter). She taught AP History an sponsored NHS along with Mrs. Wrotenbury. And finally Mrs. Osmon. She was the Ramblings and Rampag sponsor. Without her, we would never have gotten all thi finished by deadline. I really enjoyed working with Mn Osmon and I can forge her signature perfectly. Thank Elsik, for a great four years.
