I f I I With anxious heart impatiently I wait For weeks to pass and final days to come. High spirits soar and parties held by some I Five hundred seniors meet to celebrate. As praise and cards and gifts accumulate To senioritis I quickly succumb. I The thought of graduation makes me numb I long for freedom and to 'cide my fate. Yet, oh how sad those final days will be Some things just cannot ever be the same. YEAR E D. To say good-bye to friends both old and new. I The freedom sought is now no victory As separation destroys friendships true. It seems that life is merely a cruel game. l -Chrissy Levering, senior ' CL OSING 253

Look at SUNSET Staff! Dearest CdS students, Here we are at the closing of our 10th anniversary edition of the year- book. We, as your co-editors, can honestly say we survived this gruel- ing undertaking with fervid anticipa- tion. Now as we sit in Anne's room and have our last few pages just fin- ished, we realize we must write our co-editor letter to CdS which is supposed to include our deepest hearfelt emotions. Frankly, we looked back in the old yearbooks at other letters and decided that, NO, plagarism just isn,t our style! Of course, we weren't going to cozen the student body. So, here we are using our own brain power to come up with a letter, please bear with us! Just as editors have done in the past years, we would like to thank our staff. We would especially like to thank our sponsorg we certainly ap- preciate the fact that we had the op- portunity to be under the aegis of Mrs. DiCesare. The photojournalism class can certainly not be forgotten, without their efforts we would have gotten nowhere-in fact, we wouldn't have a yearbook! Portraits by Reg came through yet again with all their outstanding pictures of the seniors, clubs and sports. Updike photogra- phy provided us with exceptional un- dercalss pictures. We couldn't have survived without their professional touches. In addition, the Booster Clubs tremendous support will not be forgotten.The Sunset staff has been living and working in it's own microcosm for nine months. We'd like to point out the book's forte, that being every staff member's un- dying devotion to make this the best book ever. That was the goal throughout the entire nine months we spent together. We, as co-editors, can definitely say that every staffer was a virtuoso in their own right and we thank them for their superb cre- ativity. When we first began the year, our Josten's consultant termed our annu- al as a dream book . We admit that this was a true prediction of what was to come and we hope you, as Corona students, agree that it is a 1987 masterpiece. Because of our outrageous creativity we began with an enormous budget and had to cut down our spending. Every line and bit of color lassened our wallets until it got to the point where we just stopped counting and exclaimed, What the heck! We are now at the point in our letter where we'd like to apologize to our friends, classmates and teachers for constantly talking about our book. Yet when questioned we'd suddenly shut-up. lexamplel Anne, I can't wait to see the cover! I Far right photo: 1987 Sunset Yearbook co- editors, Kelly Heffernan and Anne Matthias, pose for their last picture together.

Anonymous classmate: What, what are you guys talking about? we answer: Oh, oh, um, nothing! Just wait until the book comes out! lThis was truly the har- dest to keep quiet about and uphold the CdS tradition of not letting a de- tail about the book slip out!! We also hope we've satisfied the certain nameless few who continuously har- rassed us about how many pages they were on and why they couldn't be on more. We hope we've pleased you, BOYS! As this letter draws to a close we realize that the chimerical task of producing a yearbook wasn't so im- possible after all, it's done isn't it? We are presenting you with our fait accompli. There were numerous hours of hard work, after school and weekends put into the book by every member of the staff, and now as we shed our tears we must realize that we have finally finished our dream book . We're quite happy with the results and we hope the feeling is mutual. We certainly enjoyed putting this book together and we hope the CdS student body enjoys this 10th anniversary edition! eeffwilff
