Whew! What fun! Just ask any yearbook staffer and you're likely to get a number of different descriptions of their duties, and not all of them think it's fun. Yearbook staff members work in an atmosphere of confusion during weird, long hours. They bring together thousands of negatives, thousands of words, a lot of creativity, and two semesters of just plain hard work to put the book together. Under the leadership of editor, Rhonda Russ, the staff tried to cap- ture all the madcap, unusual, and different things that Matadors did that made 1986-1987 the most uni- que year ever at our school.
