X Staff Tackles Problems DEADLINES CREATE FRANTIC, HARRIED PUBBERS The twenty-two staff members filled the Student Service Center during second period every day to create this year's annual. Pubbers were busy writing copies, drawing layouts, and frantically meeting all of the deadlines. This year's co-editors, Ker1'y Gudjohnsen, Monique Mondragon, Christine Carlson, and Chris Her- edia, attended a workshop at San Francisco State University, where they learned the fundamental tech- niques of publishing a better year- book. The editors came back eager to put the new ideas they leared to work. Staff members spent time secur- ing advertisements which covered many of the yearbook costs.

Pubbers don't receive half the amount of recognition they should. No one thinks about how hard and dedicated the staff and editors work, said Advisor, Ioan Foster. The publications class put a lot of time and effort into the yearbook of 1987. I think it's great how 22 stu- dents can publish a 256 page year- book without the help of anyone, said co-editor Christine Carlson. You can't just think of one per- son when planning a yearbook. You have to consider everyone's opinion, and that isn't easy, commented co- editor Monique Mondragon. - Theresa Oliver .f- l 'w S CREA TI VE MINDS Sherri Pena and Lisa Hunter listen to editors Monique Mondragon and Kerry Gudjohnsen explain tool lines and the importance of filling out the instructions very carefully.

SINGING TELEGRAMS Singers Unite CHOIRS GAIN MEMBERS AND EXPERIENCE Concert Choir and Mixed Chorus, conducted by Sharon Van Nest, doubled in size this year as they gained not only experience and respect, but great participation. Tlfe Concert Choir traveled to De Anza High School and San Fran- cisco State University to perform concerts. They went to the Concord Pavillon to out-sing other local schools' choirs, and to the St. Francis Hotel, in San Francisco, at Christmas time to carol. The Valentine's Day singing telegrams were very profitable, bringing in about S150 for the mem- bers. The singers either made their own dresses or put together their 90 . . . Concert Choir own tuxedos for all of these events. The Concert Choir was a special group, chosen by audition only. The Mixed Choir was open to any student' who enjoyed music, and had interest in performing in con- certs held here at PHS. I looked forward to working with the choirs. I thought they were fun to be with, two year conduc- tress, Van Nest commented. Both groups learned music theory, studied about many music periods, and were given written tests in addition to singing. - Merideth Fike Louis Esposito gives Mariann Iohnson her singing telegram from an admirer.
