Annual Prisoners Share Uniform Insanity Between deadlines and hectic schedules, the staff worked endless- ly and sometimes to the verge of insanity to insure that the year would be covered entirely. We started early, putting the pho- tographers to work shooting foot- ball. hockey, and tennis, not to mention concerts and exhibits. The rest of us became business staffers, clipping pictures and naming name- less students. Margie and Kristen, our leaders, tried sometimes fruitlessly to help us meet our deadlines, while we, a mostly young staff, wandered aim- lessly into the chaos that lay ahead. “Sometimes it seemed as though we were working for nothing.’’ said Jennifer Stone, one of the new staff members. “It’s an awful lot of hard work and the stress factor is unbe- lieveable,” remarked co-editor Mar- gie Alban. “The most difficult as- pect of being on the staff is writing things in a creative manner and staying away from cliches,” com- mented Amy Mitton. The staff was realitively new with only nine returning members. Co- Editor Kristen Rich sees an abun- dance of promise for the future. “When I think of the yearbook staff, the first thing that pops into my head is the amazing talent among the new members.” “It’s impossible to express the to- tal insanity that goes on.” observed James Whitaker, “but somehow through the confusion and obsceni- ties. we all caught on and the fin- ished product has made it all worth it.” Putting his word processing skills Jo use.

New Advisor Adds Class To Hawkeye The 1986-’87 Hawkeye started off on a new foot with a new advisor, and a new look. The staff, headed by Ben Valerio, editor in chief, suc- ceeded in keeping the students in- formed of current events in and out of school. “The Hawkeye covers touchy is- sues that people want to know about,” said staff member, Angie Harris. The new advisor that helped to add a bit more style to the paper. Deborah Milne, commented, “We’re really trying to have the best paper possible, not just something that’s been thrown together.” Another new addition to the Haw- keye is the classified ads. The ads ranged from selling cars to wishing a Happy Birthday to a good friend. “We wanted a different method of fund raising,” said ad editor Troy Warr. “This way added something more to the paper, and was a lot more fun.” Ben Valerio said, ‘‘The Hawkeye is the only vehicle in the school that adequately displays self expres- sion.” With new ideas and an objec- tive outlook, the staff succeeded in making its paper one of the best in the state, adding style and produc- ing quality.
