Knock Who’s There? Knock! Putting in hundreds of hours, during and after school, the 1980- 81 yearbook staff struggled with layout sheets, copy sheets, photo proofs, photo assignments, cap- tion writing, headline writing, proofreading, and general insan- ity. Being involved in many other activities — school plays, clubs, and media productions — made it necessary for staff members to budget their time wisely. Perhaps one of the biggest has- sles this year was when the year- book staff and newspaper staff showed up the first day of school only to find that both groups had been scheduled for the same room at the same time. After battling over who used what part of the room and when, both staffs decid- ed to draw and imanginary line across the carpet to divide the one room into two halves, and to co- exist in a publications menagerie of deadline pressures and room rubbish. Staff members strived to make this book as different and as cre- ative as possible with fewer but larger photos; larger portraits; bigger bolder type, forty addition- al pages; distinctive division pages; and a flambouyant use of full and spot color. ... both staffs decided to draw an imaginary line across the carpet ...” The theme of the book, based on the old “KNOCK KNOCK” joke format, took on a more hu- morous tone than past themes, ex- ploring the conceptions and mis- conceptions about the school.

Well, that’s us — a couple hun- dred pages of the people we are and the things we do. If stereo- types, then 2600 of them. A group of people spending four years maturing and preparing for the time after these four years — the REAL WORLD. “...the picture of us as that big, rich school is a distortion...” Faces participating and growing in competition and cooperation, individually and socially. Taking chances — succeeding and failing in different areas: academics, ath- letics, organizations, leadership and personal growth. Our image sometimes repre- sents us well — a disciplined, well- run school with pride, expecta- tions and traditions of excellence; but sometimes the picture of us as that big, rich school is a distortion because we are still a new school establishing an image. The bottom line: we are a school, a good school, full of indi- viduals giving an identity and repu- tation to Alta in the Salt Lake Val- ley. We feel we have a good thing going; and as they say, “Don’t KNOCK a good thing.” KNOCK1KNOCK! Who’s there? Hopefully you know a little better now. left: New coach.
