SOMETIMES THE GYM LEAKS, YA KNOW. Taking pictures at the Christmas assembly, senior Gina Hili is caught off guard (official phototaking shower cap, and all!) Staff Infection Opening for: Dependable, Creative, and somewhat masochistic being that (along with the need to punish oneself) wants to rise to a challenge and publish a tangible resuit of (often seemingly futile) effort. Yes, it is said, “Woe be to the ones wishing to yearbook.” To Yearbook? Lets analyze this word: Yearbook (ycfbook ' ) or (yoor ' book ' - if feeling particularly posses¬ sive) n. 1. book holding writing, pictures, and other tasty tid-bits meant to induce memories in later life. 2. cause of much embarrassment in later life, due to gales of laughter from future children after seeing their parents high school picture. v. — ah, but wait, yearbook a verb? To those who experience the drawing, graphing, writing, photo¬ taking, and general making of deadlines-ing know that this simple word, yearbook (most often used as a noun) holds more meaning (and pain-gasp!) as a verb. Oh, my, we have gone off on a tangent, haven’t we? Back to the proverb (see paragraph 1). Anyone who happened upon the yearbook room (our humble abode) in the fall mighl have seen what appeared to bc a relaxed gathering of folks sitting back shooting the breeze or more simply said, gossiping. Only an expert could identify the serious and highly important commu- nication within the room that ultimately would determine the theme and style of the ' 88 Odyssey. (really) Needless to say, around mid- November. most new staffers thought they had the old curse licked. But along came December, and with the D-month, the dreaded D- word, deadlines! The word that institis terror in the hearts of all who dare to publish But these things too shall pass, and did (and most were even met), ah victory! “To the victors go the spoils” just didn’t seem to work out for this year’s staff. We’d get one deadline finished with another close on our tails. But enough complaints, in the end, we all united to conquer one challenge (to yearbook like no staff has yearbooked before us) and succeed! We created (like all true Cajuns) some pretty prickly Louisi- ana Hot Sauce. SPECIAL DELIVERY. New staffers Penny Grigsby and Kim Clikas hand out the 1987 ODYSSEY this fall. IT MUST BE ARVID. In “our humble abode,” senior Brandon Laird takes the easy route to the “Head of The Class” NOTABLE DIFFERENCES

Meet The Press . .. Creating new ideas, editing and perfecting, printing and publishing, not to mention selling ads. These are the basic steps of issuing Utopia each month. However, the staff, because of their lack of funds, has only issued two newspapers this year. “Our goal was at least six issues, although one a month would be nice,” says assistant editor Renee Smith, but we were proud of the two that were released.” Hopefully, next year, their financial situation will be a bit better and our campus will be graced with more great information. The newspaper staff should be thanked for its efforts. We appreciate them for trying. Their hard work has paid dividends-in the quality of their reporting. (front row) Tam Trong, Amy Lewis.
