The days of snap together tools are gone. Senior Dave Potchen now has the responsibility of cutting and fitting the pieces of the frame that he is constructing for Mr. Leslie’s woods class. Nol This is not The Rocky Horror Picture Show “Time Warp dance but the concert choir practicing for a special song dealing with octave skips. The choir uses different techniques to help their breathing. Concentration to an extreme is necessary to play the piano piece Russian Picnic” during a concert choir practice. Junior Teresa Timm rapidly plays the fast pace song as junior Sally Campbell turns the pages. A final touch here and there is the characteristics that distinguishes a good piece of woodwork form a bad. Senior Mike Worley attempts to finish up his project in wood shop with the use of tools and glue. 19

Putting it together Classes, Sports require effort (continued from page 17) Choir and band are also classes where things are put together. After learning the musical scale, the musicians use the scale to organize a mucical piece. In the sewing room the whirring sounds of machines are students putting garments together. After learning the basics of sewing, students are expected to make several items of clothing. Students also put it together in business. In the typing rooms those students who have mastered the keyboard can be found typing letters, manuscripts, memorandums and other various secretarial work. (Those who haven’t just sit around playing with the keys) Athletes and coaches also put efforts together. Memorized plays, practiced skills, and organized players join during the game to achieve victory. After gathering the necessary information and putting it together, we can hope for a successful end result. “Have I got it to where I want it?” Senior Vicki Chandler says to herself as she measures a piece to be put on a project that she is doing for advanced wood shop. Vicki is the only girl in her class. 18

Staffers skip parties to meet deadlines Friday night and the majority of students are out partying. Meanwhile, the yearbook staff is busily trying to meet its deadline. The staff tries to complete 40 pages a month until all 192 are finished. “One night we were up until 4:00 a.m., pushing to make a deadline,” junior Sally Campbell, copy editor, said. “I really enjoy working on the yearbook, despite the headaches, because our staff is so great.” To set up a spread (two pages) in the book, senior September Suris, photography editor, assigns senior Rich Troksa, chief photographer, ideas for pictures that would be good for that particular page. Sally assigns copies (stories) to be written and senior Nancy Miller, editor-in-chief, designs the page after deciding which pictures will be used. The yearbook revolves around the photographers. They seemingly always get stuck with hard-to-take shots of embarrassing situations. “Once I was riding behind the fan bus on the way to a game,” Rich said, “and a girl mooned me. I wasn’t embarrassed personally but the situation was pretty embarrassing.” Junior Steve Bradley, a photogr apher for the book, feels that “the hardest thing about being a photographer is when we are given two days to take 20 pictures for a deadline.” “Despite the pressure, I love yearbooking, Nancy said. “I get a lot of pleasure out of my friendships with fellow workers.” 20
