The planning for this publication began in August, when 5 members of the staff, along with the 2 advisors, attended a yearbook workshop at Wartburg. Besides having fun, they learned many new ideas which were applied to this yearbook. When school began in the fall, the editors were kept busy planning, organizing, and teaching all the rules to the staff. This year's staff lacked experience and they had to work extra hard to meet deadlines. The Raider staff has worked hard to make this the best yearbook ever. 1.
