REFLECTIONS The Reflections Staff got off to an early start in the planning of their 1982-83 book. Four members of the staff attended a five day Taylor Publications workshop held at St. John's College in Collegeville, Minnesota in August. The workshop included slide shows, lectures, layout labs, business planning, mock deadlines that kept them up until 2:0() am, and a final project that involved the development of this year's theme. Not only did they come away from the workshop with the knowledge of valuable yearbook techniques, but they also received numerous first place ribbons for layouts and won the First Place Theme and Development Award. This year's staff is a relatively small staff. Good things, however, come in small packages. They are a group of hard working individuals interested in and devoted to the production of this publication. The countless hours spent on photography layout, artwork, and copy are reflected in the quality of this book. Editor Jennifer Ebin and co-editor Catherine Owens concentrated on creating an innovative theme that would incorporate this year's memories. The change of cover colors, addition of sixteen pages of color, artwork, and an index are elements that set this book apart from any other. Front Row C Owens, J. Ebin, E Borgeson. A. Myers.
