While every member of the staff waited anxiously for the arrival of the pub- lication, their work wasn’t done. They started on the organization and theme for the next yearbook. Long hours of dedication and hard work were put into every layout. Writing assignments and interviews were done at the beginning of the year to improve the students writing ability. Pictures were tak- en, selected, cropped and matched with captions. Interviews and research was done to develop the body of the copy work. After sending the layouts to the Josten company and receiving the proofs, they were checked to make sure that everything was done correctly. But most of all, deadlines had to be met. After the staff had developed the lay- outs, Gary Dubin, the chief-in-editor, and Mr. Grabowski, the advisor, checked and rechecked every page. On top of doing this, they both assisted the staff by critiqueing and supervising their work. The 21st edition included fresh ideas and additions because of the experience of new staff members. More color was used in the publication and a special theme was chosen to unify the book. The Saga members worked towards produc- ing a book that the student body would appreciate and enjoy.
