This year, the Maldonian, staff focused on Malden High in 1973-74, hope- fully avoiding the trap of com- piling a book which could per- tain to any school in any year. To insure that the contents of the 1974 Maldonian would support the title, significant and drastic changes had to be made in the traditional format. In September the staff under- stood too well the need to up- date the overused layout styles and trite, general, copy. Janet Cremone, editor and lVlr. Richard Appleyard, the new advisor, constantly em- phasized these goals. By the beginning of October, every- one had memorized Janet's lectures of Change, Maldonian, and You the Staff , so that positive action in the direction of change be- gan to be implemented in ev- ery department.

The traditionally formal structure of the faculty section was abandoned for a more casual one. Sectionalized coveraged was given to every department, organization, sport, and event through the use of question- aires and journalistic report- ing.

Could it really have been 4000 times someone had to write that number. Although the staff often found themselves under a strain to escape falling into creativity ruts, each deadline was successfully met, some- times accompanied by sighs of relief. More satisfying than any individual milestones reached during the construction of the yearbook though was the first glimpse of the finished prod- uct, the 1974 Maldonian. On ald 13
