EDlTOR'S GTES 3 When I accepted the position of editor for the 1980-81 Pine Burr, I never dreamed so much could be put into one publication. On the other hand, I never imagined such an experience could be so profitable. The job of each member entailed accepting responsibility, developing self-discipline, and ensuring the availability tin abundancel of effort, creativity, toleration and time. Each of these were achieved to some extent by all staff members. I gained a great deal of journalistic knowledge along with other more unobvious benefits. I learned valuable lessons about people while accommodat- ing to their strengths and weaknesses. Skills in decision-making and attentiveness to details developed as the year progressed. The most worthwhile gain was the exposure to the fundamentals of career expectations. Yearbook, a somewhat unstructured class, was scheduled to meet three times a week and often required long hours outside the school day. This job and ten staff members taught me the true essence of certain words that even twelve years of English teachers never managed to portray so vividly: Organization-Webster's defines it as the manner of being arranged in an orderly way. To me it is simply a cardboard box-a box which contained important annual room items, and served as a portable emergency kit. Deadline-When you expect no sleep and usually get what you expect. C-iddiness-somewhere between tired and exhausted. This condition is characterized by uncontrollable laughter and overall silliness. Patience-When you feel like strangling someone, but settle for kicking the wall instead. Although the frustrating times were plentiful, they were counter-balanced with the many' SP9Cl3l and memorable 0CCasions that are uniquely an annual-staffers. A closeness developed between dedicated staff members. In addition to the regular work, selling ads and going out to eat provided opportunities to enjoy each other's company in a relaxed atmosphere. Deadlines also tended to bring the staff closer together. Seriousness should prevail during this critical time and this attitude was begun with good intentions. The diligent works was soon interrupted when Wallace Foutch came in the room rattling off a series of laugh-provoking comments comple- mented by his unique gestures. Soon to follow was Greg Whaley, throwing in smart remarks and further deterring progress. jeff Burkhardt and Ken Howard kept us entertained with ludicrous copy and headlines. The comical setting was completed with Rhonda Key laughing uncontrollably for five minutes straight and Danny Price sedately shaking his head in disbelief. Somewhere between the headaches and the hysteria we hope and believe we achieved our ultimate purpose-to produce a treasure chest of memories. With affection, Debbie Coggin Editor N.-..,- -v .
