What Did I Get Myself Into? What's challenging, yet frustrating, requires plen- ty of time, patience, and energy, then makes a per- son very proud when it's done? The Troubadour yearbook, of course! Members of the year- book staff had many re- sponsibilities, which be- gan with selling business patrons. Patron money was raised to help create a yearbook that could commented Michele Ser- otuk, one of the mem- bers. Hair raising situa- tions tried the new advi- sor's patience, but she handled everything like an old pro. More big help came from editor-in- chief Desiree Tulleners, and assistant editors lean Shinnick and Theresa Ca- miling. All three put much effort into helping everybody, and kept the energetic staff under con- trol as much as possible. Deadlines were met after lots of tough work, and things ran pretty smoothly. As a journalism class, the staff took special compare with the pre- vious year's award win- ning book. Nerve racking? Yes, but our advisor, Mrs. Ni- cole Hoffman, did a great job of helping us out! , pride in completing their assignments because they knew that all of their hard work would result in a memorable book. All of this was due to the time put in by the editors, ad- visor Mrs. Hoffman, an enthusiastic staff, and the publishing company's re- presentative Mrs. Kathi Bailey. With the cooperation and help of those in- volved, and even the stu- dent body in their sup- port of the patron drive, the yearbook staff was able to produce the best book possibledo TS...

A Making sure the lines are perfectly even, Michele Mendoza carefully draws a layout for one of her spreads. Drawing layouts takes time and neatness, so that everything is in order for the final deadline. AWith careful planning, the yearbook staff playfully lures the editors into the pond. Occasionally, joking around proved essential to relieve those deadline tensions. P Feeling the pressure of the first deadline approaching, Patty Landa gets help from Theresa Camiling on how to fit copy. Many staff mem- bers found it easier to get things done early, before the final deadline arrived. 58 Yearbook Staff K

V Making sure all the entries will be correctly typed, Chris Nordell proofreads and recopies them neatly Chris who worked business section ofthe yearbook staff applied her journalistic knowledge to the Renaissance. Ideas Renaissance, the Liter- ary Magazine, was com- posed of original work submitted by the stu- dents. The editor ofthe 1982 Renaissance edition, Shelia Ryan, put in lots of extra time to pull the magazine together. Carla Tomaso, a writer of plays and stories her- self, proved a big help as the advisor. I believe Renaissance is a very im- portant part of Alverno life. It gives students the Reborn opportunity to see their work in print and encour- ages them to view cre- ativity as a crucial element in their education, stat- ed Ms. Tomaso. All of the students' creativity and unique entries were sub- mitted, and the staff members chose the ones that would appear in the magazine. The Renais- sance was then distribut- ed to the students, with- out charge, after it was completed. Q5 P Carefully looking over the many entries, staff members choose those which will appear in the magazine. Many creative entries were submitted, and it took patience to look them over. 60 Literary Magazine ill- ,.
