What Time Is It? Yearbook is an interesting way of life because that is what it is—a way of life. Once you get it in you. you can never really get it out. Those 240 pages cling to you the rest of your life; few things seem so important. But still many say, Why do you have to work on yearbook again? Because it is only yearbook, only a little bit of history, a slice of life, the mood of a generation, and the changes of a year all bound up in paper. And the thing that made all the paper, struggling, work, fight ing, rushing, and changing worthwhile was seeing the book for the first time and ap- preciating it for what it is—a book of the year. The 1982 Accipitor yearbook staff would like to thank the following people for their help and support: Jay Burkin- shaw, Kay McNamara, and Sherry Way man of the media center, representative Bill Baker, the custodians of Alta for put- ting up with our messy deadlines, the Haw- keye staff for lending us a few writers in our time of need. Thumbing through the countless proofs for the right picture. Leasa Hirschi tries to make some sense out of the jumble of proofs. In order for the staff to select pictures, each negative is photographed and sent out In order to keep the darkroom door shut tightly and keep any light out. photographer Todd Gabler drills with all his strength through the thick walls before securing the revolving door in place with bolts. Time rarely stood still in this room. Even when the clock in the journalism room stopped and showed 1:10p.m. every min ute of the day, time rarely stood still. It was always moving and that was why we were always moving. Scrambling to get photog raphers to cover some craziness in the hall, shuffling index cards into some resemb lence of order, and ripping and stuffing envelopes before rushing down to the post office to mail off a deadline. Deadlines hung over our heads like clouds of radioac- tive steam, but when they were completed (even when Josten's didn’t think so) every- one breathed a sigh of relief and breathed another sigh for the next one, (60 pages NO WAY!) Thus we found out why they call them deadlines. But even among scarce copy sheets, non-existent pica rul- ers, and typewriters that refused to type, we managed to survive. And survival wasn’t always easy on a 24,000 dollar bud- get, but then again no one said it would be easy. 1982 Accipitor Staff Co-editors: Keven Vawdry, Roy Kasten Copy Staff Layout Staff Wendy Armstrong Elaine Aslund Libby Doddridge Kirsten Easthope Mary Gonzales John Lopez Lisa Kemple Ed McBride Erika Miller Rob Miller Sonja Thomas Dede Thompson Business Staff Head Photographer Natalie Clayton Marilee Burnside Leasa Hirschi Photographers Vonda Murray Brett Crandall Todd Gabler Aaron Jensen Mark Stringham Adviser: Deraid Alcorn Photo Adviser: Fred Roberts of the darkroom on contact sheets. 224 • Yearbook

226 • Closing It Out------------------------------- From the confusion of the first day to the ex- haustion of the last, some big events transpired. Girls Cross Country missed taking State by so little, and Varsity Football punctuated everyone's hopes with its thrilling efforts. The traditions (school plays, assemblies, dances and parties) eased many, more comfortably through their changing environment. And a few things did not change: those lost from class sitting in the Commons, the before- school passionate embracing of some on the Me- dia Center steps, the night-after-working sleep- ing in classes, and the hoarse voices from scream- ing at basketball games. No matter how hard we tried to forget about change, and go on in the old ways, we finally had to realize that to survive, we had to face the new ways and make the best of them. Chowing out on finger licking good pizza. Mark Daniels and Mike Jen sen race to finish the pizza eating contest held Homecoming Spirit Week Not only did studentbody of- ficers compete, but also a few foot ball players and even the cheer- leaders munched till they could munch no more. A quiet pat on the back from Mr. Worlton comforts Chuck Culter with words of encouragement.
