E1Surles, Kat y ooney, ay ami on, y Who has the contact books? here's the techni-cropper? I need se pictures printed by this .after- on! Ah, yes, these are the everyday unds of an average yearbook staff at rk. There is an unlimited amount of rk to be done in putting together a arbook. And, as usual, time is of the isence. Days turn into weeks and Eeks turn into months, then, Year- ok staff, we have our next deadline two weeks. Dead silence occurs ter this statement, while everyone nks to themselves what happens if don't get finished? Then, the room is a den of mass hys- ria, staff members trying desperately meet the dreaded deadline. Pictures , typewriters go non-stop into the e hours of the night. And, of course, meone is still looking for the very portant techni-cropper. l What's a techni-cropper? l There is only one word to describe this kind of chaos. Fun. Yes, fun. Even though this might seem like a lot of work, worries, and nervousness, the fun that follows this is well worth the wait. A yearbook staff member at Jersey Village, knows nothing of such a thing called a free-day. There is always something to plan, a teacher to talk to or a layout to be drawn. Each member onthe staff has an important iob to per- form in their sections. Mrs. Fauss supervises the staff on everything and either reiects or okays an idea. She checks the copy and lay- outs to make certain everything is ready to mail to Taylor. The Co-Editors help the other staff members with their sections and they advise them on their layouts and copy. The Group Editors are in charge of their own sections and they take full responsibility for anything that goes wrong within their group, the others in their section work hard, long hours to perfect everything. Yes, truly, there are many problems that face a yearbook staff member. There are two main problems that will haunt them for years to come. Copy, or the printed words on a page, is mainly used to entertain the reader and give the author a headache writing it over and over again. lf you think that your English teachers are critical of your writing, then, you have never lived through the experience of having your copy completely marked over in red by Mrs. Fauss. Now, I don't mean iust a few little spelling corrections, l mean full scale red pen on all two or three pages of your copy. Organizations - 97

Dedication and Hard Work Make Up an Annual Staff Selling ads is a full time iob for the yearbook staff, but sometimes other things get in the way. Turk Wilson takes a break to fix flat tire, while on a field trip to sell ads. l Grace Oehlers and Sharon Toon have their hands full covering academics and faculty. As the day progresses craziness overtakes them, and they clown around in front of the camera. Kathy Mclemore, co-editor, faced with many more responsibilities year, tries to impress upon the staff the importance of covering the by writing captions to go along with the pictures. Working very diligently on sports all year lo Bonita McLemore makes sure all sports events covered.

This is done many, many times. But, in the end, the finished prod- uct is so good that you know that all the torture was well worth the wait. member faces is the constant search for your pictures. Sometimes a picture will be taken that is very important to you, and you might not see it for six weeks. And what if the negative gets lost? you ask, well, then you're really in a pickle. The yearbook staff traveled to sum- mer camp at Texas A8rM, sponsored li Taylor Publishing Company and Text ASM University, where they works hard to improve their skills.
