Preparing a yearbook is not as easy as the finished product makes it seem. For the Roarer Stall, school does not always end at2150. Many times at night a light may be seen in Room 116 where the hard-working and dedicated members of the Roarer Staff are busy preparing a yearbook of which they and the student body will be proud. Journalism is not all hard work but also lots of fun, and at times there are lighter moments when laughter re- places anxiety.
