L'chaim! Driving relentlessly to meet demands and deadlines without sacrificing friendships or quality, Reata staffers attempted journalistic feats of unusual dimension and absurd hilarity to produce a Bicentennial book they had been planning for many months. Having trained with the professionals the previous summer at the Southern Methodist University journalism Workshop, the Reata staff was prepared to meet the coming year's demands. The six days and five nights were a continuous work session with a few impromtu parties thrown in. At the close of a hectic week their efforts were rewarded when Claire Webber and her staff received the Yearbook of Excellence award and Lisa Lancaster captured the Individual Excellence Award for her sports spread design. The tired staff left SMU with something to be proud of and the trip gave them the stimulus needed to start the year with eager enthusiasm. The compatible staff worked strenuously to meet the first deadline, pass out the 'I975 yearbooks and sell the 1976 yearbooks. With the incomparable yearbook assembly and the slide show, sales were a decided success and the money rolled in. Added impetus was provided when the 1975 book won the state championship in Denton. A year long barrier existed between busy photographers and persistent editors which caused just enough friction to make ' everything exciting. Yearbook Advisor ludy Gossett said, l'm very pleased with the staff. They're not only the best staff I've ever had, but also the most qualified to put together a special Bicentennial book ' The Reata staff planned to produce a 'I976 yearbook which would reflect the way the student body chose to celebrate the occasion. Therefore, the staff realized much more reporting and interpreting was needed than ever before. They displayed a sense of leadership and responsibility when tension broke out. You've never really suffered so much until you've had to stay up all night writing for a deadline, said Editor Marilyn Altschuler. Even though lack and loss of production in the photography department increased pressure, and nerves reached the breaking point, countless crises passed when a photographer cracked a joke or locked everyone in the darkroom. Although staffers never seemed to do anything but work and scream, time was always found to celebrate birthdays, holidays or any occasion that seemed to call for doughnuts and goodies. The june deadline finally arrived and with it unbelievable relief and excitement. The hard work was over for awhile and everyone looked forward to seeing the final product in August. 212 - REATA i si i i 5 T .tl s .i I Taylor Representative Dennis Clark, mans the slide projector for the Drawing quadpack Reata sales program.
