t Seneca Saga staff works year round Sorry, but we only sponsor DeSales; Come back again sometime; The advertising budget's spent. Those comments were among the turndowns that 22 juniors and seniors heard when they contacted over 70 local businesses to sell ads for the 1983 Seneca Saga. Had the staff not been as successful as it was, the price per copy of the yearbook would have been over $16.75. However, the $1,420 raised in the fall of 1982 along with the $700 brought in by the 1982 Copy Design class and sponsorships from school groups kept the price of the yearbook within reason Work on the 1983 book started in June of 1982 when a publication contract with Delmar Company of North Carolina was signed and appointments were made for seniors to have their portraits taken As soon as school started, the staff started operating under the pressures of deadlines as copy had to be submitted monthly from October through March. A final deadline in July of 1983 was scheduled to insure publication of the 16-page supple- ment, included in the $11 00 price of the book. The supplement covers activities from the middle of March through Commencement. In addition to selling ads, the staff took pictures, developed and identified them, wrote copy and proofread. The Copy De-sign class, which studied different layout styles and their rules, were responsible for pulling the project together. The class had to work out and execute over 80 designs for the book and type, fit and proof all copy as well.
