Yearbook Demands Complete Effort The production of a good yearbook takes many months of careful plan- ning — more months than there are in a school year. Therefore the 1967 Expedition was being planned as early as the Spring of 1966. The staff at that time made the preliminary de- cisions which were necessary to begin the book. The color scheme, cover de- sign and number of pages were a few matters voted upon by last year ' s staff. This year ' s editors had to be elected prior to the school year. Mem- bers of last year ' s staff participated in electing Marlene Gunther, Editor- in-Qiief; Paul Reyes, Associate Editor and Sports Editor. The other exper- ienced Juniors were voted in as de- partment heads of the different sec- tions. In preparation for working on this year ' s yearbook, Marlene Gunther and Paul Reyes attended a summer seminar at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. They gained valuable knowl- edge concerning yearbook philosophy, and such technical aspects as layouts, photography, and copy. Perhaps the biggest job in yearbook production is photography. Picture ap- pointments must be set up, the pic- tures taken then developed and printed. They have to fit the proposed layout, be complimentary to the subjects, and still be technically sound. The most feared word to a staff member is: deadline. As the deadline draws near, the air tenses, each individual striving to complete his pages. However through cooperation among the mem- bers, with screaming, pulling hair, and the gnashing of teeth, problems are solved and the deadline is met. Every- one then relaxes and takes a breather before repeating the cycle for the next deadline. Upon approaching the end of the year, the staff again prepared themselves for the Expedition, only this time it was for 1968. Planning for the book started with the Spring elec- tion of editors, thus completing the 1967 Expedition. Members of the faculty section are Mary Wirsing, Arnette Ayotte, and Janice Molnar. An apple a day . . . . ' Many yearbook staffers combined their efforts in the development of the theme for the 1967 Expedition.

Thespian Troupe, Stage and Stammer Club Recreate Top: Captain Fisby, portrayed by Steve Foster, projects a look of utter dismay as the amount of his baggage increases. Above: Mr. Oshira, portrayed by Alfonzo White, dis- cusses the prospects of a new teahouse with villager Diane Harbin. The Teahouse of the August Moon, was enacted on February 17th and 18th by the National Thespian Troupe 2854 and the Northwestern Stage and Stam- mer Drama Club in the school ' s audi- torium. The play is the story of the United State ' s occupation of the small island of Okinawa. It involves an Ameri- can captain and his hilarious antics in trying to ' civilize ' the inhabitants of a small village called Tobiki. Problems arise when the villagers take a demo- cratic vote and decide that what they need most is a teahouse. Director Miss Karolyn Sherfey and the cast are to be commended for staging the first play at Northwestern where it was required 56
