Peggy Schneider looks 3593 over one of several stories Terri Bailey wrote in her 2nd period journalism class. 5 8 V----un year, through ruined negatives, unidentifiable people, lost pictures and horrible cutlines has got to be a person with something extra. Through the years she has spent her summers coordi- nating and attendin journalism workshops in Dallas, Austin and Houston. She has made trips to the publishing company in Dallas to make yearbook corrections. She has planned the yearbook assemblies, and Sadie Hawkins week as well as spending weeks at school during the sum- mer after everyone else was gone, putting finishing touches on the award winning lVlacArtair. On top of all this she always finds a little spare time for herself.. A new home took up a big portion of her time bu there were occasions when she could be found boogieing with her staff or friends or sitting through a Neil Diamond concert resting up for the next day. Her staffs, some closer to her than others, all recog- nized that after a year of sweating out deadlines, she deserved some kind of Purple Heart award. lt was then decided that this 1978 MacArtair would be dedicated to her. On April 7, at Coronation, the yearbook staff gave her a picture clock, a dozen roses and a tearjerking round of applause. They hoped, as expressed by editor Susan Lembcke, that they had encouraged her to continue inspiring high school students toward the wierd and wild life of the journalist. And yet, when the dedication was all over, it didn't seem like enough. dedication 71
