The Before I impart to you eloquent words of wisdom, there is one thing | have to say — IT’S OVER! Well, now that the tension is gone, I am prepared to use all the tear-jerking phrases | learned during the year. Phrases like: “T'll kill them,” “The deadline is late,” “Get to work,” and my ultimate favor- ite, “Why isn’t it done yet?” In all seriousness, The Classic went extremely smooth, even though we only had 12 members on the staff due to a reduction in staff. As much as myself and Ms. Yongue, Aquila sponsor, griped and groaned about deadlines, headlines, and toollines, the staff only missed one deadline. I was (almost) always pleased with the amount of dedication I saw in the Staff. I want to apologize to them for any harsh words, and thank them for each portion of their talent and creativity they put into The Classic. I hope now that you have seen the book from cover to cover, you will say that all the headaches and bad moods were worth it. To conclude, I would like to say thanks for not giving up on me, or our common goal — The Classic. To Amy Wilson and Jalanda Stan- dard — GET READY! Being co-editors next year will be a wonderful part of your lives and I hope you can see through the sweat to the love. While I am on the Subject, I would like to bring up Ms. Imogene Yongue, the yearbook sponsor. You did a great job — even though we both worried about it a lot. She was my sponsor when I needed guidance, my parent when I was in trouble (which was often), and my friend when I needed to laugh or ery. Thank you so much for everything and don’t forget the senior cruise we took and when we went snorkling! On a more personal note, I need to thank my parents. Without their en- couragement and love, I never would have had the courage to take on such a huge project. We had a rough year, but somehow we made it. I love you the best! There were also many adults who were dedicated to The Classic. Mr. Dy- son gave the staff so much support in- cluding the addition of a computer to the Staff. As well, Mr. Boyd often went out of his way to take pictures. Of course, Mr Ziegler, our Josten’s Repre- sentative, was always on call to answer even my silliest questions. Also, their were many students not CLASSIC Farewell on the staff who added a great deal of their energy. Senior Christy Ray, who as a project often used her typing skills with Ms. Yongue to put copy in the computer. And also, seniors Wendy Jackson and Debi Waterman, did a great deal of the artwork in the Events and Clubs section. Another special student was Paul Harkness, who always had time to take Photos. Thanks Ya'll! Well, I believe that takes care of Il of the people who sacrificed their souls for The Classic. If I left anyone out, I’m sorry, and thanks for whatever you did. Now I'd like to say a few words about The Classic edition. Because this year was the 25th Anniversary, the Aquila had to be extra special. I know it has been for me and I hope you have been touched by the words and pictures. From the type of print we used to the cover of the annual, we have worked and sweated, The gift is for you from me and a very special group of people. For Seniors, our lives will never be the same after June 9th, but hopefully when we thumb through the pages of The Classic, we will be transported back to a time when our biggest problem was who to take to the Sr. Ball. There are so many mixed emotions about graduation. Medgar Roberts signed in my Senior memory book, “I want out so bad I'm pushing people out of the way to get there, yet | want to stay so bad like to chain myself to a column in the senior lobby!” Well, it has been a wonderful year and I am so grateful for all I've learned. I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did, and for the mistakes I made, oh well, I'm just Regina! VM Editor-in-Chief
