Mrs. Augspurger not only was ad- visor ofthe yearbook but the news- paper advisor as well. What makes a good newspaper? For the ASHES, it's a careful balance between raw nerve and wild-eyed insanity. A lot of things have helped shape the newspaper this year, re- 82fWorking marked editor Derrick Bostrom. Fitting our schedule around year- book deadlines, lack of district funds, and the fact that I'm the only staffer with previous journalistic ex- perience, all contribute to what you read every month. And what reading it is! After a year-long bout with apathetic be- havior the year before, the ASHES finally was able to recruit enough interested, talanted people to make the paper into a better educa- tor than many teachers are, said Derrick. Since the classes of journalism 'l ...L-.--J and newspaper production are now combined, students are forced to put out the paper from start to fin- ish without too much knowledge of the job or any other experience, commented advisor, Mrs. Aug- spurger. For this reason, we tend to be very experimental and una- fraid of making mistakes. We learn from them, and so can the rest of the school. Those who dared to walk into the yearbook darkroom could usually find Steve Song falling down from fcontinued on page 831 'ti' 1

Publications succeed in making every deadline Eating either pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Mr. 1umbo's meat- ball sandwiches, or frozen yogurt, while listening and swaying to the tunes ranging from Peter Tosh to Fleetwood Mac to Lou Rawls while screaming common phrases such as: Where's Pica? Sahar, that's corny, I still say it's a baboon, or Steve, we have enough pom and cheer pictures, and at the same time trying to work on copy and layouts was the usuai routine ofthe dedicated yearbook staffer. Even though the class itself was an hour long, many over-time hours had to be put in to make every deadline. And with a new advisor and almost an entire rooky staff, that was quite an accomplishment! lt was not an uncommon occur- rence for the Embers staff to work from 8 A.M. to 11 P.M. the days before a deadline. Not only were 'F 'j,,,. in-P late-night hours put in, but Satur- days tall dayi were workdays also. Nothing could stop the dedicated staffer from working. For example, one Saturday morning the dark- room door was locked, but did that stop the photographers? The only way in was up through the ceiling and down into the darkroom.

At other times, trying to figure out what girls Ron Davis and Brent Boyd were going to bring in became an amusing game. We could al- ways count on Bill Kirvan to swipe parts of the ceiling from the hall to compensate for our faulty ones. On lucky days, lill Bithell cor- rectly guessed what chemicals to use and produced quality work for the staffers. A sight for sore eyes were Kathy Maynard and Emmeline New, who somehow managed to look as though they had just fin- ished modeling for Vogue maga- zine. No one can say we didn't learn anything either, for Dan Drinan kept us up on all the latest obscene phrases and gestures. As for the rest of the photographers, Nellie Peter- sen would now and again make a rare appearance. And finally, there's photography editor, Rhetta Romero, who was not always visi- ble, but forever audible. Scottsdale, A rizona 991 - 3055 4 L Ashes 84 Embersf83
