RAM COU TRY Money problems were met with difficulty. The 1982 RAM COUNTRY Staff was eager to begin put- ting the book together. Although there were tough money prob- lems and deadlines to meet, being on the yearbook staff was an outstanding experience. We all learned new ways and ideas to become better acquainted with ourselves and others around us. The yearbook staff is one big family growing, learning, and sharing each day. Rising printing costs necessitated a reduction in the number of pages. Compensating for this omission, the staff tried to effectively use the available space. Miss Sara Westmoreland, advisor, and Ilona Lawless, editor-in-chief, spent many long hours proofing copy, checking layouts, and instructing new members in journalistic techniques. Selling ads was quite a problem, but we managed to hang on and strived to produce a quality yearbook. Miss Westmoreland was quoted several times saying We need more money. As a member of the Florida Scholastic Press Association, we participated in workshops, where we learned new trends in lay- out designs, covers, and copy writing. Miss Westmoreland worked hard with us to produce an award-winning yearbook. We travelled to FSPA State Con- vention, April 29th through May lst, where we received numer- ous awards for our journalistic efforts. it Wi' xx NAM . ax A 7 , X. . get l QW 'Vi' 2 l56fRam Country I c 5001 1.

-38 RAM-PAGE 1- All-new staff followed in winning footsteps. Continuing its standard for journalistic excellence was the goal of the 1981-82 RAM-PAGE Staff. An all-new group of journalists faced various obstacles as they took the reigns of an established publication. Meeting financial and deadline pres- sures were foremost on the list of these obstacles. MIAMI HERALD recognition two years straight puts pres- sure on a new group, commented Joe Waldorf, advisor. The students want so badly to follow in winning footsteps. These footsteps most recently took the shape of excellence in feature writing, since for the second consecutive year, the 1980- 81 RAM-PAGE staff was awarded SPA, MIAMI HERALD recognition for excellence in feature writing. We have good writers and an enthusiastic outlook on our new staff, which should alleviate the problems faced by an all- new group,', stated RAM-PAGE editor Valerie Cason. With support from the administration, the School Advisory Council, Principal Mae Islar, and advisor Joe Waldorf, the Eastside newspaper strived to continue its tradition as a winning publication.
