Bearkat '84 staff strives to Have It All The Klein High School Bearkat has a long history of achieving goals of producing a book that represents each school year and winning numerous awards. ln the past years, Klein has won first place in the CSPA, AASB, and THSPA competitions and critiques. Led by Davelyn Kennedy, this year's staff quickly began writingcopy, planning layouts, and forming headlines in order to reach deadline. Near the end of October, Mrs. Kennedy moved to Kentucky. Although she was missed, the yearbook staff was able to carry on itstradition ofsuccess.This success was due in part to Sheila Alexander, the former photography coordinator.AIexander accepted the difficult task of being the new adviser. The Bearkat met fifth period as a class, but extensive amounts of work was to be done before and after school hours. Members of the staff could be seen running about in a frantic state as the deadlines grew nearer. lt became all worth it, though, when the completed yearbooks arrived. The Bearkat may have a long history of success, but this year's staff stood in a class by itself. Pascal Villiger makes sure that none of his pictures will be thrown away.
