BETH CUDDEBACK. ARMED with antherama Staff A student was sitting at a ta- ble. She had a notebook in front of her. She stared at the paper a few minutes and then began to write. A few minutes passed: she wrote rapidly. The copy edi- tor came over, looked at it, and said, Put it in the past tense! Wanting to kill the editor, the girl wadded up the paper and threw it across the room. Meanwhile, a boy was draw- ing a final layout. Suddenly, he swore and marched across the room looking for the Liquid Pa- per. After he touched up the layout, he began to work again. A photograper came into the room. Pictures! The editor- in-chief sighed in relief. He handed them to the other edi- tors. Things were really rolling when the representative came in. Anyone could hear a pin drop when he said, How many pages are you sending in to- night'? The editors began to sweat and the students worked faster. Typical yearbook meetings had a hard time doing the work. Meetings began at 2:50 p.m. and lasted anywhere from 3:30 to 9:30 at night. The staff fre- quently sent out for food to eat while they worked. Early evening came and the school would be quiet, except on the bottom floor. Anyone could still hear typists pecking away. The yearbook room itself had many people in it who were be- ginning to worry - tomorrow's homework! The PANTHERAMA staff didn't have an easy time. Many times, ideas seemed hopeless. What held everyone together was a strong friendship. Every- one went Through Trying Times. They made it! ln spite of ev- erything, they finished that book. There were fun times and not-so-fun-times, good days and bad. But they never quit work- ing, through pain and laughter - and realized they had learned and lived life. - by Bruce McGee were a lot like this. Deadlines came and went: often the staff her trusty Liquid Paper, attempts to design her layout sheet.

Faculty f Academics Gutdanee 8a Encouragement A school without teachers would be like a book without pages: all the knowledge pro- vided for us would be useless without teachers to guide us. Our faculty provided oppor- tunities for us to learn to make a life for ourselves after we have left high school. Some students claim that teachers are too strict and not really caring, but, given a chance, most can be true friends. Without all the custodians and cafeteria workers, it would have been virtually impossible to run the school effectively. The custodians cleaned up the messes and the cafeteria work- ers provided the students with healthy breakfasts and lunches. The secretaries kept control of thc business end. They typed all of the bulletins and an- swered continually ringing tele- phones, and were always there in the morning for the overs- leepers. to give to them tardy passes to first hour. The administration had to do more than handle disciplinary problems. They, like the coun- I selors. were willing to listen and help the students in any way that they could be of service. Every faculty member faced tough situations: life wasn't all splendid for them as students think. They recognized when students were depressed or needed help. The administra- tion and faculty members them- selves had gone Through Try- ing Times during the school year.
