Lexington High School - Crystal Yearbook (Lexington, VA)

A dedicated few on the Crystal staff work hard to produce the best Crystal ever A Crystal year lasts from June to June. When the Crystal for one year is finished in June the staff immed- iately starts in on the next year’s book. It’s work, work, work all the time. Most people don ' t realize what goes into designing a book that will cover all aspects of the school year. Last June, Michelle Davis and Debbie Miller spent a week at a publications camp. Most nights they were up until 2:00 working on designs and reading over some thirty different themes, hoping to find a suitable one for LHS. But, for all the hard work it was great fun seeing other yearbooks, and they came home loaded with ideas. Among those include spot color, a less expensive way to get color in the book and new designs for the pages. Several members of the staff have attended weekend workshops in Charlottesville. These provide refresher courses and also offer new ideas. Members of the staff usually work after school three days a week. More often than not, when it’s near deadline time, they work everyday of the week including all day Saturdays and Sundays. The Crystal staff also takes care of senior portraits and the signing party in August. Then in September and October it’s class pictures, group pictures and the magazine drive. The subscription drive always takes up a week or more in February and the staff held a picture sale to raise money to send more people to camp. But, for all the work, it’s worth seeing the finished product. Seated: Robin Davis, Mary Ellen Doss. Debbie Miller, Copy Editor; Carolyn Claar and Melissa Davis.
