Four GMI-IS students were heading to Yearbook Camp in Ft. Collins, in a green Volkswagon. They stayed in the C.S.U. dorms with students from all over Colorado and nearby states. They could specialize in writing or photography. Bruce Watterson for North Carolina was the key speaker. Kim Dry- janski said, He gave us ideas of what we could do for covers and more creative pictures. The camp gave information on trends and recent developments. The students went back to their schools full of ideas and ready to get to work! But.. . . the new techniques they learned were sometimes like tying a cherry stem into a knot in your mouth. They tried new things with lines, shading, and featuring people. New members that contributed to getting the book done were Kristin Coburn, Debbie Margrave, Gabriele Mehnert, Mitch Smith, and Nancy Gonring. Margrave said, I joined to get more writing experience. Being on the staff helps the students become more familiar with their school and its activities as well as putting a yearbook together. Coburn commented, 'gI've learned a lot about photography, such as knowing how to print and develop, and the chemicals involved. I've also learned a certain style of writing. The yearbook itself, from its Table of Contents to Autograph page, took from the fall until early spring to complete and send away to the Josten's plant in Topeka, Kansas. Then the spring supplement was worked on. Dale Bartkus guided the students but let them make their own decisions. He said, A yearbook sponsor is somebody who cares about the school and likes editorsfl 206 - Yearbook l l i l Nancy Gonring selects pictures for Kim Dryjanski and Terri X Carter to print.

Dear Fellow Students, Finally, the yearbook's done. It's all done. I can't believe it. But it is. No more bugging the custodians every Saturday morning to let me in the darkroom. No more nagging at the staff either. I bet they're glad, too. When I take this final page to the Post Office to mail it to the plant, there's nothing left to do until we unveil it at distribution. flixcept the supplement, of course.l And then we just wait for the reaction from you, the students. As editor, I hope you like the book, a lot of nervous breakdowns in the staff have occurred because of it! Anyhow, I really think this is one of the best yearbooks at GMHS. Wefve tried several new ideas this year that we thought would improve the book. First of all, if you'll please turn to the color section, you'll notice a pattern of lines running through the whole section. This was also repeated in the Academic section and on the division pages. Also on the division pages we incorporated student art. Chris Harris put in several hours drawing that Ram, which is the same as the one on the Senior wall, and the same one that will be on the graduation programs this year. On all the class pages is either a story dealing with something affecting GMI-IS students, or candids of the students. In the sports section, we featured one outstanding senior athlete from each sport. We realize that there were many fantastic athletes this year, both seniors and underclassmen, and we would like to commend you too for your hard work. Due to popular demand, we kept both the Student Life and Current Events sections from last year, combined them under Events- Abroad and at Home, and enlarged the section. Hopefully, we at least touched on all the major happenings of this school year. Ilf we didn't, and you think something else needs to be included, use it as something to sign in other yearbooks.l Anyhow, I would like to thank a lot of people who contributed in making this book, Chuck Reid, Ralph Suarez, Pattie Sutton, Chris I-Iarris, Carol Vanous, Sonja Roemish, Steve Chase, Mike Lane, Whitney Seymour, Gary Jugert, Scott Roberts, and Jared Saunderson are just a few. Then, of course there is the staff, which dedicated themselves to the book. This is GMI-IS' tenth anniversary of being open, so the flashy gold cover is appropriate in celebrating. We would like to dedicate this book to the teachers who have been with the school since its birth, those faculty or students who have passed away during the past year, and finally, to you, the students. I would personally like to dedicate this book to the graduating class of 1983. Seniors, this one's for you. ISee you at the ten year reunionll Juli Gammon 1983 Ramblings editor The 1982-83 Ramblings staff included Tammy Borgman, Terri Carter, Kristin Coburn, Kim Dryjanski, Teresa Fortik, Juli Gammon, Nancy Gonring, Rod Griffin, Debbie Mar- grave, Gabriele Mehnert, Kim Scroggins and Mitch Smith Letter From The Editor 207
