‘KR: Studying French is a full time chore for junior, Vicki Lowe There are many students at Northside who are involved in the foreign language program. Since the ruling that all students must take at least two years of foreign language to graduate, the numbers have practically doubled. Those students who take French are eligible for membership in the French Club. Because Mrs. Myers is the only French teacher at Northside, she sponsors the club. During 1988 the French Club had many projects. One of the most outstanding pro- jects was the “EAGLE” t-shirt sale in No- vember. Again in February, the French Club had another fund raiser. This time, they chose to sell carnations for Valentines Day. All students involved felt that the events were worthwhile and educational.

A Classic. That is definitely a term to describe the Aquila Yearbook staff. Early last May plans for this book, which was to be an all-out 25 year anniversary blow-out, were begun. The first decision to be made was a theme. When “‘A Classic” was final- ly chosen, the staff began serious work on a product for the entire school and commu- nity. Some members of the staff attended a summer workshop with sponsor, Ms. Yon- gue. It was at this workshop that the staff members decided on a cover and basic page designs for the anniversary book. Because the number in fifth period class is limited a part time staff developed. This very dedicated group worked many days after school developing the classes section of the book, which exemplifies their talent. Some had to drop the class after first se mester, and were replaced by part time staff members. While the staff worked hard every day in class and many after- noons after school, there were Saturdays that some members of the staff sacrificed to spend the day at Northside doing those chores needed to meet deadlines. Mornings spent selling yearbooks in homerooms were part of the job. Rushing around trying to identify people in photographs, or grab- bing students and throwing them into can- did pictures were other responsibilities. The Aquila yearbook staff is truly a dedi- cated group. The yearbook was led by Edi- tor-in-chief, Regina Moore. Classes section editor, Amy Wilson was responsible for de- sign, features, and copy in the section. Clubs editor, Dee Dee Durden designed and edited this section. Editor of the events section, Michelle Newton did a fabulous job with creativeness and assignments. Lorey Williams had the most difficult sec- tion — faculty — yet she made it come alive. Sports editor was Krista Pouncy, who designed her section. One of the most important people on the staff was Tammy Aho, the business manager. When she transferred, Suzie Santos took these re- sponsibilities. Another special person on the staff was Paul Harkness, who was the “always on call’’ camera man. Paul was always willing to use his own personal time to take last minute shots. Debi Waterman gave much of her time to artwork and Wendy Jackson could always be counted on at the last minute. Each member of the staff gave all to make this special edition of the Aquila a success. The rewards felt were far beyond those of most projects at Northside. “‘The yearbook is a worthwhile project that teaches teamwork, goals and achieve- ment. said staff member, Kim Kovarvic. A dedicated staff member, Ja- landa Standard, helps Tammy Aho balance receipts At workshop during the sum- mer, Michelle Newton begins plans for a special yearbook very The section editors had a big job leading the staff. They are Lorey Williams, Krista Pouncy, Regina Moore, Amy Wilson, and Michelle Newton.
