What costs roughly S14,000, is a history book students are willing to buy, and is distributed to Lake Orion High School students in a ration of 1 to about every 1 and th students? A yearbook! Not many people realize just what goes into being a staff member or what it takes to put out a yearbook. The staff prepares for the annual the previous school year by discuss- ing a theme that is broad enough to cover not only the students but also their sports, teachers, classes, com- munity, and lifestyles. After deciding on such matters, W cost comes into consideration. If not 1 tt for the fact that each yearbook staff member sells about S150 in adver- tisements your book would cost S14 instead of 310. T he Staff a postscript Have you ever had one of those days when things just don't fit together right? lt's like that in Pub a lot, especially on days when you find out the picture you just cut down to 3x5 is supposed to fill a 5x6 space! Or, whenlyou find out you've left out a person's name who just happens to be right in the middle of a group shot! Or, you find out a picture is missing for the pages that are due the next day! Yearbook is a HARD class to get by and survive in but we also take time out for fun things like pub par- ties or to exchange homemade Christmas Gifts in January because of the unpredictable Michigan weather.
