Closing The Book The 550 copies of the 1982 Viking were printed by Wals- worth Publishing Company, Marceline, Missouri, with the cooperation of B. J. Smith, Regional Sales Manager, and Mike Diffenderfer, sales repre- sentative. Editors were Pam Leckron and Tracey Trynchy. Business Manager was Clare Tande and advisor was Marti Oakeson. Type in the book is Helvetica: 36-point for division pages, 30-point for headlines, 10-point for body copy, and 8-point for captions. The cover was bound in black Milbank, top stamped with a four-color photograph of the student body. The theme ran in sunflower 201 and 42-point Helvetica. All copy was written by students in the journalism class. All individual portraits of freshmen, sophomores, jun- iors, and faculty were furnished by Jack Martin Photography. Omaha. Group pictures were provided by Bartelt Studio. The work it takes to put together a yearbook is more than many realize. The responsibilities Tracey and I had as co-editors were numerous: pages had to be assigned, dates scheduled to take pictures, layouts decided on, and copy written. But, somehow it managed to get done. Viking Pride , as a theme, speaks for itself. Northwest has accomplished so many things to be proud of this year. Winning two state championships, having numerous scholarship winners, and producing a successful musical were just a few of the outstanding achievements that the class of 82 will not soon forget. We can now say with pride, I ' m a graduate of Northwest High School. I would like to give a special thanks to Tracey. Even though, now and then, we had a few disagreements, through it all we became good friends. I would also like to thank Mrs. Oakeson. She was always so patient and understanding, even when we lost pictures and missed deadlines. Lastly, I would like to thank the staff. At times they weren ' t always sure about what they were doing, but they did it anyway. They contributed their time and talent to make the book what it is. Hugs and Kisses, ooooooooxxxxxxxx P.S. Pam Leckron You dared me so here it is!! When I accepted the responsibility of yearbook editor I had to be prepared to face and handle every obstacle that came my way. During the 1981-82 school year Pam and I have encountered many obstacles like: lost pictures, phone calls to Walsworth Publishing Company, and most of all, asking for extensions after missing our deadlines. I never considered all the work that is necessary to complete the annual. I never thought Mrs. Oakeson, Pam, and I would spend so many hours looking through negatives to find )ust the right picture or reading copy that was either too short or too long. But the yearbook wasn ' t all headaches, there was a bright side to look on, the day we could say, Hey- we finally sent our last shipment. Then you worry if the publishing company will understand your special instructions and wonder, when the finished product comes back, if the students will like and appreciate what you have created. All I can say, as editors, Pam and I did our best. To the staff, thanks for being cooperative; to our sponsor, Mrs. Oakeson, I give her credit for being our backbone; I would also like to thank Kim Mott for being understanding when students were working on the yearbook instead of the paper, but most of all I would like to thank Pam Leckron for being on the other side of the table. She put up with a lot of crazy ideas from me and never criticized any of them (at least not in front of me). Being co-editor of the Viking ' 82 will always be a highlight of my years at Northwest and what once started out as Yours and Mine is now a reality. As always, Tracey Trynchy 134
