But jumping into the fray cold turkey with this tough little group was something else. That first day last spring was horrible. They shot ner- vous daggers at me with suspicious eyes: l'You're not making newspaper people out of us! they seemed to challenge. And of course I wondered if these kids would ever soften to my ways, could we possibly work together to make a book, or would it all self-destruct by mid-year? The results are before you. They reflect the efforts of this small staff. They learned, then pitched- together in a determined effort. I'm very proud of them, because they published a large book under extreme pressures which mangled all of us at times fsomehow, the job seemed to grow bigger through the year, while the staff dwindledj. That left the task to the dedicated few. l'm thankful they stuck it through. and that their parents understood feven if they didn't reallyj.

SUNRISE STAFF Direction of the 1984 Sunrise was headed by Editor-In-Chief Claudie Stemer. All thematic concepts, design and production decisions were made by the Editorial Advisory board, whose members included: Stemer, Sports Editor Steve Grachan, Student Life Editor Bren- da johnson, Academics Editor Tesa Goumay, and Organizations Editor Mischelle Hall. Photography was directed by Publications Photo Editor David Alexander, and Sunrise Photo Editors Kevin Leavell and Keith Schultz. Staff members who made valuable contributions throughout the year include: Brian Benson, Kevin Trowbridge, Leanne Trautman, Lori Bauer, Jani Hagen, Leslie Keenan, Deb Thrall, Kelli Rose, Ronalee Binschus, and Kerrie Wemple. Special thanks to non-staff members for their contributions: Sun Journal Fine Arts Editor Bi- biana Murphy, Sun joumal Editor Marty Pierce, and Basic joumalism students Debra Hill, Ted Childs, Mary Risley, David Potter, Tonya Foley, Pam Lande and Annica Wehinger. Other students who served on the staff for pan of the year include: Ioen Richardson, Kim Waller and Heather Mason. Specifications The 1984 Sunrise was printed by Taylor Year- book Company of Dallas, Texas. Taylor sales representative jeff Bolton and in-plant consultant Susan Alderson assisted with valuable technical information oonoeming the use of overlays, screens and special effects. Missoula photographer jon Schulman provided valuable assistance conceming the correct use of photography equipment and the selection of ap propriate materials. His advice was particularly valuable concerning the best uses of the Kodak Ektaflex color printing system, which was used to print all color photos except senior portraits. Missoulian Distribution Director Chuck Vincent gave valuable advice on the correct application of rubylith overlay cuts and other special effects. All special effects except photo duotones were done by Sunrise staff persons. Sunrise staffers planned all overlay screens, made all their own rubylith cuts fsometimes up to seven per pagel, made all close-register tooling overlays on clear acetate, and designed and created all artistic special effects. All copy was pasted by the Sunrise staff. All copy after Dec. first was typeset by Sunrise staf- fers on a Compugraphic MCS composition station and 8208 MCS typesetter. Arrowgraphics provid- ed the typesetting up to that time. The slight in- consistencies in typefaces came as a result of the difference in typefaces of Arrowgraphics and the staff typesetter. All body copy was set in Bookman or ITC Bookman at 9.5 or 10.5 points in size. Headlines were set in ITC Bookman fopeningj, CG Triumvirate bold fstudent lifej, CG Triumvirate Black and regular Csportsl, CG Triumvirate regular, with a bit of Antique Olive forganizations and clasesj, ITC Bookman facademicsl, and Revue shadow fdivision pagesl. What a Year! What a year! Whew! The days have come and gone, some slow and some fast. Now we seem to be rushing madly to the close of the year and the yearbook, But before we finish the events and fill the final 232 - Colophon pages, some very important things must be said. They include a whole bunch of big THANK YOUS! I would like to express a big-hearted thanks to all those individuals that helped in the mak- ing of our yearbook. Without your support and assistance, the Sunrise staff would have been lost. Thanks to: U jon Schulman Photography for the excellent, action-packed photo of our senior class. You cap- tured us beautifully! Cl Paul Carter, Missoulian photographer, for the photo of the tragedy of Whitefish that had such an impact upon all of us. Cl Al Ham Photography for taking all individual clam mugs and for providing prints early enough for us to get a chance to work on them. E The folks at Compugraphic who helped us make the difficult transition tin the middle of the year! from having our copy set by a local typeset- ter, to typesetting it on our new machine. Cl All the Missoula professional studios who sent us copies of their seniors for the color section. U The folks at the National Scholastic Press Association who got this green staff pointed in the right direction last july at their summer year- book workshop. The fresh ideas, practical hints, and just plain sharing about the big job of year- booking was a big help to us all, including our adviser. Cl Big Sky English teacher, Bill Taylor, for the use of group photos. We would have had many blanks in many pages. He knows how much we all loathe trapped white space. lj Big Sky art teacher Kalli Deschamps, for the last-minute lettering for headlines in the Facul- ty section. Cl Sun Joumal Arts Editor, Bibiana Murphy, who saved us many times. The cover is just awesome and the artwork on our endsheets is great! You helped make our book and theme work together. Q The Missoulian, for photos used throughout Big Sky Review, and for the many supplies we needed on the spur of the moment. You know DEADLINES! Z Taylor Yearbook Sales Representative, jeff Bolton foops, just jeffl and Taylor Publishing Company. Through those hectic deadlines, you gave us encouragement to go on. Oh yeah, let us not forget those many questions we had that we quickly found answers to: the very complex layouts, graphics, and overlays that you manag- ed to understand, and thox scribblings of instruc- tions you had to wrack your brains to a high school level to understand. fl Mr. Bruce Watterson, adviser of The Wildcat Yearbook of Ole Main High School in Little Rock Arkansas. Bruce helped us see the light concer- ning real yearbooking, the latest newest trends, and the do's and don'ts! This book may not be quite up to his standards but just wait, we'll get there. Those faculty and administrators that always seemed to let us slip by with our excuses. I'm sorry I'm late Mr. Langlas, but I was tak- ing pictures for yearbook, was photographer Dave Alexander's famous excuse for marketing class. Oh it's legit, I'm doing things for yearbook. See my press pass? said Tessa Gournay as she slipped away again. We were always caught in the hallways doing Hstuff' for yearbook, without passes. Shame on us Then there were the times when group photos were to be taken, and retaken. Papers were handed-in late, we fell asleep in other classes, or sometimes missed a class because of a deadline cruncher. Finally to the student body of Big Sky High School. Without you we couldnlt have done it. You, the students, made the events, were the faces we saw, and helped the year become cond to none ! After the Deadline Deadlines have passed, pages are sent, and the nagging and griping is over! Thank God, right? I would like to thank the overworked, over- tired, and thrashed bodies of the Sunrise Staff. We stuck it out. Believe it or not. We did it. We captured the entire year! Thanks to: Cl Academics editor, Tessa Gournay, for those words of encouragement and your little way of making one feel cheerful. lil Super help from Lori Bauer, Brian Benson, and of course sports editor, Steve Grachan, who I always bugged. It seemed like he never did anything, but he always had a handle on it. How? I always seemed to want to know so I to could do the same. And, boy, did he ever come through for us during the final three weeks. Il Student life editor, Brenda johnson, who was a miracle. She stepped into our staff a little wor- ried about our bizarre layouts and our mixed-up system of organization, but soon adapted beautifully. Brenda, Leslie Keenan, and Kerrie Wemple made the student life section look fabulous. Cl The clases staff of Kelli Rose, Ronalee Binschus, and Debbie Thrall, along with Tessa. They finally mailed them after months of fixing and refixing and making sure each person had the right name for so we hopel. Cl Kevin Trowbridge, organizations staffer, who did an excellent job of copy writing. 'fjust ask Kevin. He'll correct copy. He loves tof' was Mischelle and jani's favorite command. 2 Copy and Mechanical Editor, Leanne Traut- man, whose little bits helped a lot. The Index and Ads were so tough. U Photographers Kevin Leavell, Keith Schultz, and David Alexander: your extra time and ex- tra effort was overwhelming. All of this done by only three guys? Wow! All those pictures of our games and activites, and trying to get group photos just right. You stayed with it, even with our griping and moaning. Most of all I'd like to give a great big thanks to the person that made it possible for me and the rest of the staff, Mr. J. He believed in me. He gave me ways to use my own creativity I thought I never had. He was always there for a push to get finished, or words of encouragement, and for those times of downright disappointment and tears, Without him and his understanding family, we couldn't have done it. He worked long hours alongside of us, stayed until the late hours four weeks before our final deadline, and over many weekends. To you, a big THANK YOU! Finally I'd like to say this has been one ex- perience I will never forget. The friendships made, the funtimes, but most importantly how we worked together as one big family. Oh, yes, we had some hair-raising fights. But we always made up and went along our way. In the future we will go our seperate ways. But when we drag that old yearbook out, we will be proud of it and remember each other and that unforgetable year. I love you guys! Claudie Sterner 1984 Sunrise Editor
