The Editors A yearbook is meant to be a reflection of the events of the past year. As we look back on ali the accomplishments and spe- cial moments of 85-86, it’s hard to believe we set out to supervise the creation of such a book — a summary of ali the var ious feelings and emotions. There were so many events to record in the Odyssey. Sometimes our task overwhelmed us and we wondered how we had ever gotten in the thick of such a project. How could we have envisioned all of the problems that inevitably come an editor’s way? But just as we were ready to despair, a Creative and manageable solution would appear. And that day when the books came in, when we saw our pians in a tangible form, made it all worthwhile. We hope that we have reached our goal — to give you, our class- mates, a capsule of ’85 ’86 that accurately portrays our experiences as a school and a book that you will treasure forever. Obviously, this book was not created solely through our efforts. There are many people we would like to thank for their cooperation and support. Our fellow staff members were indispensable. We thank them for putting their strength and ideas into this book. For all the times we asked them to “do it over,” we hope they are proud of their accomplishments in the yearbook. Mrs. Lynn was a wonderful and spirited advisor. She shared so many of our frustrations in making this book and she must have felt close to insanity several times, but she always managed to moti- vate and encourage us. To our former fel¬ low editor, Sandy Osmon, we express our gratitude for all the time and creativity she put into her work. This edition of Odyssey certainly has been enhanced by her writ- ing. David Mauldin and his staff are to be congratulated on the excellent photogra- phy they contributed. Our Josten’s repre- sentative, David Baker, was marvelous. His inspiration and know-how made the book come together. Richard LeBlanc, Mike Tucker, David Murray, and Ginger Thomas contributed of their time and tal- ent to create artwork for the book. The teachers and faculty are to be thanked for their support of our project, with a very special thank you going to Marjean Purin- ton. Her counseling, understanding, and hard work saved the day many a time. Of course, Mrs. Smith is to be thanked once again for making Magnet a reality and the student body is to be commended for mak¬ ing Magnet the fine school it is. We hope that this book, their book, has captured their spirit and style. A style all their own. Sincerely, Kristy McGee Roddy Spigener Carol Williams 260 • Closing
