EDITOR ' S NOTE The time has finally come when I can no longer procrastinate writing my editor ' s note. This is a time when I ' m allowed to describe the hard work we did and thank everyone who helped us. I worry that no one reads the editor ' s note, but thanks has to be given, because the production would have stopped in mid-November if it weren ' t for a lot of people. Because this yearbook will be different in many ways from former Samaras, I would like to try to explain why we did certain things. Throughout the production of this yearbook we tried to keep in mind that Elmwood was -changing drastically - at least physically. We tried to reflect those changes in our yearbook, and although you may find many superficial changes, if you look carefully - the feeling and the spirit of Elmwood ' s Samara has not changed. Last year we were told that producing the Samara was a lot of work. We didn ' t believe it. We should have. Too often the production of the Samara is assumed, and until you have waded through hundreds of over- developed pictures, sobbing into your copy sheets you won ' t believe it ' s hard work. It is. But there are many rewards. One weekend we spent over twenty hours at Elmwood unloading, loading, sorting and handing out oranges and grapefruits. The outcome of that night was sore bodies, and the financial means to pay for the yearbook with the money that we raised. Working on Samara while listening to Chez - 106 and relishing a pizza from Dino ' s provides the perfect atmosphere for some inspirational moments. To Mr. McCabe, saying thank-you doesn ' t seem to be adequate enough. I thank him for his work, on behalf of the committee, and I personally must thank him for the support he gave me and the advice that didn ' t solve problems, but helped me solve them myself. Doing the Samara taught us, the committee a lot. We learned a great deal about the producing of a yearbook; copy sheets, 3-R planners, picas, and many other things we never want to hear about. We learned that making hundreds of lists won ' t get anything done, and that a little organization goes a long way. But most importantly, we learned about human relationships. We all juggled with each other ' s feelings and egoes with a variable amount of tact, but remained friends. My thanks to the com- mittee, especially Katie, Julianna and Elizabeth for their incredible help and support. I thank my family, who put up with messes, phone calls, wails and tedious descriptions of what we were going to do, and still offered to help me; especially my mother who kept me sane at the cost of her own sanity, and Maria whose help and wisecrack jokes kept me going when I really wanted to stop. Lastly, we would like to thank Elmwood staff, students and families, for their contributions and support. To next year ' s editor: Best of luck, if you make it to the end - you ' ve done a great job.
