This definition was familiar to the newspaper, yearbook, and photography staffs. A deadline is the time when everybody is tense and nobody gets along. It's torture, junior Ioann Schriner said. In order to meet these deadlines, writing articles was a task for each newspaper staff member. Listening to the announcements during third period and watching the PTA's calendar for upcoming events helped them come up with creative ideas. However, most stories were created from friends by word of mouth, sponsor Miss Kathy Dove said. After attending morning workshops at school for a week during August, the yearbook staff understood the new language they would be working with throughout the school year. Words such as cropping, picas, and copy became familiar to the group. The staff's goal was to create an original, yet personal, book for Pearce's student body. In order to achieve this, they drew layouts, worked with photographers for pictures, and interviewed to write copy. Having to do all these things under a tight schedule made things quite hectic. Working with a schedule just as busy, the photographers were expected to take quality pictures for both the newspaper and the yearbook. Their job was difficult because they dealt with both staffs, as well as the faculty and students, which sometimes created problems. There are too many smiles. People won't act natural around cameras. Also, a lot of teachers don't like having their pictures taken, junior David Pellerin said. It is often frustrating to please all the students all the time, sophomore Keith Bryan said. Although these three groups lived busy lives, knowing that they had others to work with pulled them through. You have to be dedicated to get it in on time. When people help each other with part of a headline or type copy, it's not bad to reach the deadline, Melinda jones said. lGoolsby 8: lnglej Publications-Organizations X 145
