Here ' s to future days! I ...and then it ' s the end. Or is it? You finished the year with a twist and a shout, looking ahead to the future with every move. Being as individual as you were, you each took different paths, but for all the goal was the same: graduation. To seniors, graduation meant a new beginning, a beginning based on the knowledge and experience gained from high school life. To sophomores and juniors, graduation was a rein- forcement that high school diplomas were possible and that the twelve year educational process did come to an end. ..or rather a new beginning. For all, it was a time to look ahead to the future. Decisions were suddenly very important and took more thought than before. Career options were considered seriously for the first time. Pressure was heavily laid on you from peers, grades, teachers, coaches, colleges, and parents. But you made it. You kept asking yourselves, How can it be so serious? You were a class that invited and accepted change. That ' s the attitude that made the year so fun, so dif- ferent, so... you guessed it ... off the wall. So, what are you waiting for? You ' ve got a future to get started on! while working on a journalism project, Senior Pam Brown prepares to make a personal statement on the wall. In red cap and blue jersey, Senior Kerstine Johnson displays school spirit during powder puff. 230

Layouts. White space. Sound familiar? maybe not to most, but to members of the yearbook staff those words led to just one thing: deadlines. What did deadlines mean to staff members? Stress. said a wide-eyed Christi Courley. That ' s right! Stress. Con- trary to many students ' beliefs, yearbooks ao not materialize from nowhere during the last week of school. Little do they know the tremendous amount of time and hard work that starts from day one. In fact, all jour- nalism students were given their first assignment on Registration Day. Even during the summer a handful of students attended workshops at Stanford to find out the hottest trends in yearbooking. Though there were quite a few experienced members, most of the class were aliens to the art of yearbooking. The scariest thing for newcomer Tracy Welch was . . . pressure. It ' s frightening not knowing what you ' re doing, not knowing if it ' s right or if it ' s going to turn out. The staff was a large one, with a variety of people representing all the different types of students in the school. The crew may have been motley but their goal was the same, to capture the year and illustrate 1987 ex- actly as the students lived it. Like many of the events that happened during the year, the Carneta staff made some changes. A bigger book, bolder colors, and work on the com- puter were just a few things that made the book so different. In fact, the changes were so positive that Taylor Publishing Co. decided to use this book as a sample book . . . quite an honor tor any staff. The hours spent in the jour- nalism room felt like years to some, but in the end it was all worth it. by Tracy Hicks Carneta 4
