) t Lvas a sight to see all right. People hus- 3 tling and bustling all around, rushing from one end of the room to another. The clickity- clacking sound of the typewriters filled the air. There were wads of paper flowing out of the trash can, with more being thrown into its di- rection. Pica rulers, croppers, quad packs and pictures were spread from corner to corner of the room. It wasn ' t hard to sight the edible. Coke cans, wrappers and pizza crusts were found wherever breathing bodies were. It was all total chaos. This was a familiar sight during a Journalism deadline. The Buzz, newspaper, and the Hor- net, yearbook, found this to be a common oc- currence. Most people don ' t realize the pressure that the yearbook staff (and sponsor) feel all year with deadlines and having to raise $25,000- -. The Job of producing a yearbook is mammoth. Sponsor Pam Smith said. Most clubs and organizations have a season of the year in which they find themselves in- crediby busy. For the yearbook and newspaper staff, busy is a year-round thing. Working on the newspaper can be very re- warding — you get to meet a lot of people, go a lot of places and write a lot of stories!! Dead- lines can be crazy. The staff puts in many extra hours and it ' s such a great feeling to see the finished product so quickly. The only thing wrong is that it can be really aggravating to remember all the hard work and see papers lying all over campus instead of being read or kept. Sometimes it ' s a thankless Job! Sponsor Sherri Padalecki said. Although the Job often became frustrating, and thankless, it was a Job well-worth doing. The newspaper left the student body informed of recent awards, updated on sports and play- ing records and of local and national events. The yearbook was a collection of the whole year ' s events.
