Some Final Words Serving on the yearbook staff is not an easy job, as many people have recently found out. Being editor is an even tougher job. but it proved to be so much more rewarding. It is a good feeling I have that I helped make memories for all of you and for myself as well. A lot of time, energy and emotion has been put into this edition by both myself and my advisor Ginny Sut- ton. We both worked long hours trying to get the pages ready to be mailed off to meet our deadlines, but prob- lems kept us from accomplishing this. As it turned out. we worked into the summer completing pages and sto- ries so the pages could be turned in. Special thanks goes to those staff members who came up to the school during their summer vacation to help. Your dedication helped in the final production of this book. Many people deserve special credit in helping com- plete the Paw. First, to Mrs. Sutton, who has stuck through this headache the whole year and who is will- ing to come back next year and do it again, although I’m not too sure she is very excited about it. Her guidance and encouragement has helped me through quite a bit this year and I am thankful to have a friend such as her. Another important person who deserves recognition for her ability to keep me smiling and dedicated to this book is Deb Arnold. As advisor of the Paw last year, she knows the hassles Mrs. Sutton and I were having this year. She listened whenever I had to talk either about yearbook or anything else. She is a great teacher and an even better friend. Thanksll To Noel Wagner and Leah Blain I say thanks. Noel for keeping up the picture pace and Leah for doing ever- ything in sports that I knew nothing about. Noel was the target of a lot of frustration from his fellow staff mem- bers. but he never let it get to him. too much. He made sure we had the pictures we needed, unless freak things happened, like the darkroom being vandalized or running out of paper. He did his best and for that I am proud to have worked with him. Leah just did everyth- ing. She was always there to finish a sports story or give one of her famous headlines. She also used her knowledge of photography to help Noel with the picture taking or developing. I’m turning in my editor’s hat for a long time and to whomever takes my place. I say good luck. It is hard be proud of. Misty Leigh Johnson work, but it is something to
