AFTEERWQERD When we started this book at a Coe College yearbook workshop last summer, Lori, Cathy, Mr. C and I tried to decide what we could use for a theme for this book. We talked about the growth of the school and the population, and assorted cliches, until someone remarked about how confusing this would all be. After three months of polishing, that became the theme for the book and this year. The ironic thing is that it wasn't until we reached this point, at the last page toward the end of the year, that we realized how appro- priate that theme was. For us on the Shield staff, this has been an emotionally confusing year. We have gone from hating our work and this book at times, to showering it with all of our attention. That kind of back-and-forth thinking can make anything seem confusing, but looking around us, we saw that we weren't alone with that idea. I i Pep club, one of the school's largest organizations, was so strained for active members that its officers threatened to fold the club if more membergrdid not show up at the next meeting. Across the hall from theiLance staff seemed to be running into the same problems that we were, namely quick deadlines and few staff members. Teachers and stu- dents each had those times during the year that they wouldn't want to give to their enemies. Possibly more than anything else, the election of Ronald Reagan and the ensuing budget cuts did the most to upset the tradition and order of running a high school. Teachers that would be leaving and programs that would be cut all did their part to leave a bad impression. Still, though, things worked out and the year was memora- ble, BECAUSE the year was confusing, We will remember teachers lobbying legislators, and classes in A-hall without heat. We will remember self-scheduling for second semester and finally becoming seniors, just when they remove the 0000 it bench from senior hall. And, of course, most things in our lives weren't even affect- ed by any confusion. We still played mat ball in P.E. and found sanctuary in the commons. We still went to work, watched TV, and partied on the weekends tif we could get -away with itj without any thought to confusion . But the confusion would frequently come back to us, like when one of the long-scheduled REACH days were cancelled on the day they were to be held. For me, this year has had its bad times and, toward the end of the year, its very good times. This year has been Diana Miller offering to give me all the money in the school safe if I could produce this year's yearbook on the spot. This year has been working with neat kids like Kari Knott and Barb Lockwood, who I would have graduated without knowing, had we both not worked on this book. It was better appreci- atingWMr. Cockman, who put in hoursaway from his family, working to make sure this year was fiot just a bad memory. iAbevef-alt, thdughg-ltilwasirtearrtttfig-about myself and how much I should appreciate my world and my friends. . g My parents have been instrumental in allowing me to work on this yearbook. Even when I came home one night at 9:30, put gas in my car, and left to take pictures in Dixon, they just nodded their heads and f8T'm8-Q0 my own way. I am very grateful for the freedom they gave me to do what l enjoy. This, then, is the Shield for the 1980-81 school year. lt has its shortcomings and its problems, but it also has its creativ- ity, its design, and especially its memories. It is our hope that even if you are not pictured as often as you would like to be, that you remember what you were doing when each of these pictures were taken. We want this yearbook not to be your only memory of the year, but to be the spark that conjures up your own memories. We also hope that this book will become your own, just like this year has been your own. SEEECQUZQXIL.
