litiil .VAV»V 111 PECURum Volume 9. Issue 8 The Blake Schools Wednesday, January 19. 1983 What sane or insane group of people would put up with countless deadlines month after month? The answer is the 1982-83 Spectrum staff. The staff worked diligently to achieve its standard of excellence characterized by intelligence, talent, humor, and a bit of insanity. Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Lucy Nelson and Associate Editor Jeff Goldenberg, the newspaper became a source of information and entertainment with wider variety in content marked by consistency in format and design The tight organization of Spectrum allowed the staff to work cohesively and efficiently. The group consisting of a core of dedicated seniors accompanied by loyal, enthusiastic juniors learned to work together, creating unity as well as friendships as they labored through months of beats, copy, and paste-up meetings. The demands of late night meetings were balanced by the outstanding quality of the product. The enjoyment and sense of accomplishment always outweighed the frustrations and difficulties. Overall, it was a profitable and commendable year. Front Row: D. McAnnany. L Nelson, J. Goldenberg, M Mitchell. Second Row: 8 Goldfus, A Myers, S. Lieberman, T. Navin. Third Row: M.

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.
