CPTIMIST STAFF ED4TOWNCHCF CRYSTAL WARMACK Fimr ’% MESSAGE In our preparation of the yearbook, we always kept in mind the dying spirit of the bulldog. With this in mind we attempted to include things that in previous years had been overlooked, such as definition of an Optimist, and a tribute to Malcolm X We also kept in mind that we were a part of a whole and becase of this fact we knew that we must produce a yearbook that would be appreciated by the senior class as a whole Patience was not one of our greatest virtues. We fought a great deal of the time and tried to compromise the rest. There were deadlines to meet which made people on edge and very irritable Through all the discomforts of working under constant supervision, the “1984 Optimist Yearbook Staff managed to pull through and deliver the best yearbook possible We. the 1984 Optimist Staff take pride in our finished product and we hope the Malcolm X Shabazz Class of 1984 is just as pleased with it.
