Senior Joanne Spaits and Junior Rosemary Rivas look up articles to find information on current events. Emily Fairchild, junior, is caught by surprise when she is trying to write copy for a layout. I don ' t mind so much taking pictures, it ' s when I ' m caught with my mouth open that bothers me, she grumped. kwtfiK ; Puttin ' On The Hits Sponsoring the year- book is exciting because I get to see each new staff develop the theme of their yearbook, said Linda Rushing. In the latter part of the ' 86 school year, the theme A Record Year began formulating in the minds ' of staff members Kathy Castilleja, Kalene Corner, and Editor Rosemary Ri- vas. Essentially, the theme was to incorporate hit song titles on as many headlines as possible, and to relay to the students the records of a new year. It was very important to remember the titles of every song, so it could be applied to a layout, said Senior newcomer Joanne Spaits. Joanne, along with Kristi Kneupper, Emily Fairchild, Baltazar Chan, Faydra Bailey, Dee Dee Nesbitt, Byron Robinson, Chris Shade and Robert Garcia came into the staff with no experience. With the help of sponsor Linda Rushing and editor Rose- mary Rivas, they were able to work with the new members to form a year- book that symbolized a Record Year. The new staff made a combined effort with Paul Flores and Louis Pierre, photographers, to make a variety of interesting and action-packed lay-outs. 112 ORGANIZATIONS

The Christmas Unitree, Hal- loween Carnival, Safety, Smile and Energy projects, and a weekly concession stand held throughout basketball and volleyball season kept the council members busy. The beginning of the year went kind of slow, but later things started to really ' pick up ' , Byron added. Officers met every Monday at lunch with Mrs. Marilyn HoU- man, co-sponsor, to work on ideas for more projects. This year has been very successful in the sense that we ' ve done more service pro- jects, Ellen Everett, president, said, I ' m glad it came out so well. Involving as many students as possible in school -related activi- ties was one goal. They are mak- ing a lot of progress, said new- comer Faydra Bailey. We had the Carnival, Valentine ' s dance, and Spring Fling to involve several members of the council, Dee Dee Nesbitt, member, added. I think one of the more in- volved projects that we did for the school was the carnival, Histori- an Lonna Bell explained. But it was a lot of fun. Not only did the St udent Council sponsor the spook house, but invited other or- ganizations to get involved by set- ting up booths. 5 tond By Me Kyle Dicke, junior, hangs a sign in the foy- er for alcohol and drug awareness week in March.

Working Together To Get The Job Done Junior Paul Flores, prints pic- tures in the darkroom. How do you expect an artist to work when everyone wants a picture of him? he asked. Louis Pierre, junior, head pho- tographer, reads instructions on how to properly hold a camera in position. Junior Kristi Kneupper and Kathy Castilleja, senior, carefully work together to organize the index of the yearbook. I Juniors Robert Garcia and Bal- tazar Chan find it beneficial to file their layout information. At least I ' ll know it won ' t be too lost now, said Baltazar. Sophomore Kalene Corner takes a moment to carefully gather her thoughts as she tries to write copy on the typewriter. Juniors Chris Shade, Byron Rob- inson, Faydra Bailey and Dee Dee Nesbitt know that work goes easier if you do it together, as seen here while they file year- book pages in the dummy book.
