Many members of this creative writing class have had their work entered into the yearbook. However, many other classes throughout the school have also participated by submitting some oftheir original works. The selected staff, whose job is to choose the most superior pieces of writing and then edit them, is supervised by Mrs. Ruth Schlesinger. This year we fitted the pieces together in accordance with the theme: Jigsaw Puzzle. Donna Kennedy 9H1 DATE LINE 'Patience and toil are the only tools for success. Oar business in life is not to get ahead of other people but to get ahead of ourselves. Observing the busy Dateline staff, we realized that putting together the newspaper is extremely difficult work. The formula of success is Teamwork, Everyone strives for one goal: making the best Dateline McKinley ever had. Everyone has a special assignment, which is his respon- sibility. However, without the careful supervision of Miss Anne Parrilli, the Dateline could never be published.

MCKINLEYAN ART Under the careful supervision of Mrs. Puleo, the Art Staff is the backbone of our yearbook. This imaginative group adds both interest and humor to the yearbook. It actually puts the entire yearbook together since it combines theme, articles and pictures. The entire layout and arrangement is handled by the art staff. BUSINESS The Business Staff, perhaps one of the most important of the yearbook, is headed by Mrs. Serrano. This staff collects the ads and boosters which are all vital for keeping this school publication functioning. We all owe many thanks to Mrs. Serrano and the entire staff. PHOTOGRAPHY McKinley's own Candid Camera staff is always on the look. The Photography Staff is supervised by Mr. Arthur Grossman. He works together with the Literary Staff in providing pictures for the yearbook. LITERARY The Literary Staff, which is headed by Miss Paulette De Fina, is assigned the numerous technical jobs which must be completed for a perfect yearbook. The staff, which includes class 9A1, and editors from 9H1, must proofread articles, organize the names of all the graduating students, write paragraphs for the various departments, and write captions for the pictures included in the yearbook. The staff must also interview teachers for feature articles. This year we have worked especially hard to capture the feelings of the Age of Aquarius, and apply them to our activities and subjects at McKinley. Donna Kennedy 9H1 Kindness in words creates confidence, Kindness in thinking creates profoandness, Kindness in giving creates love. Lao- Tse PUBLICATIONS The Age of Aquarius brought to life right here at McKinley.

CREATIVE WRITING Theme In a jigsaw puzzle, all the pieces fit together to form a picture. When our pieces are put to- gether, the picture assembled is youth. Each piece is an emotion, a story, a part of us, which when put together forms a picture of today and of tomorrow. Cathy Cantor 9H1 Like a jigsaw puzzle, our yearbook has been carefully pieced together. As in a jigsaw puzzle, which can only show the complete picture when all the pieces are included, so must we include every shade and every contrasting thought to communicate our message. The true voice of youth can only be heard when the entire spec- trum of its range is projected. In our yearbook, which is the jigsaw puzzle in its completed form, we hope the voice sings out loudly and clearly. Donna Kennedy 9H1 62 Cathy Cantor 9Hl 39
