Not Just Colors AOR EES Blue and White not only stands for Classical’s flamboyant school colors, it was also the name of the school’s distin- guished yearly publication, the Yearbook. Hopefully you don’t have the mistaken idea that this yearbook just ap- peared. The fact of the matter was that a staff of thirty three students, both ju- niors and seniors, worked diligently for approximately seven months to complete the publication. Each person on the staff had responsibilities to uphold and dead- lines which had to be promptly met. It was only through the collective efforts of the entire staff that a book of such excel- lent quality was produced. The completion of a single page in- volved much hard work and creativity. This dedication included writing and typ- ing stories, making an outline of the page, fitting the pictures into the outline and writing captions for the pictures. Well, maybe that sounds easy but any yearbook staffer would tell you it is not. The staff of thirty three students was divided into nine sections, and each sec- tion had a very capable and trained edi- tor. The sections and the editors of the 1983 yearbook were: Activities, Doug 74 Yearbook Above left: The Activities Staff: Dion Woods, Ka- ren Scott, Monique Rowtham, Mary O’Connor, and Doug Quirk. Above right: The Senior Staff: Jennifer Sheehan, Dina Nirenstein, Kim Owens, and Stephanie Roberson.

Below: The ravishing Editor-in-Chief Lynn Misulis. Quirk; Seniors, Jennifer Sheehan; Under- classmen, Sandy Robbins; Features, Cathy Clayton; Index, Andrea Barnett; Sports, Kris Pellegrino; Student Life, Mary Scarfe; and Academics, Liz Friedman. The Editor-in-chief was the proficient Ly nn Misulis. Lynn’s dedication and lead- ership skills earned her this important po- sition and she handled this job with an unequaled amount of class and capability. Mr. Dinnie was the adviser of the Blue and White Staff. His job was also one which required dedication and an unbe- lievable amount of patience. Together Mr. Dinnie and Lynn proofread every page to insure that it was as close to perfection as possible. To become a member of the Blue and White staff was truly an honor and to become part of this special home- room you must try out at the end of your sophomore year. If you were lucky enough to be selected you would be a part of this special group for both your junior and senior year. So now you know that Blue and White were not just the school’s colors but was also the name of Classical’s notorious and simply awesome yearbook staff. Se Sei

716 Flowing Pens YIPSDSIS ADS SSL SASS SSSSS LSD SSS AS ASSIS aaa eo In far off room 232, a group of talented, enthusiastic, creative writing students met over the past year to put together the literary magazine, Scribe. These cre- ative writers consisted of thirteen, twelfth grade students, all of whom had the same interest — creative writing. They met as an English class fourth peri- od every day. Many of the members of Scribe found it to be a most enjoyable experience. Not only did the students enjoy being a part of Scribe, but Mrs. Thomas, the help- ful adviser, also enjoyed being a part of Scribe. Mrs. Thomas said she, ‘especially enjoyed listening to and reading the cre- Scribe Above: Mrs. Thomas, the Scribe adviser, works on this year’s magazine.

They raised this money by having many successful fund raising events such as a carnation sale, a popcorn sale, and a candy sale. The members of Scribe did another great job this year of choosing the best works contributed by many students in and out of Scribe. Thanks to the hard work of these talented writers, the stu- dents of Classical have another unique edition of Scribe to add to their collec- tion.
