A siren, little men in white coats, a stretcher and Mrs. Helen Evans, adviser, is carried off for a shot of adrenalin so that she will survive. lt has been said that the only difference in work- ing on a yearbook and being brutally annihilated is that annihilation is a speedier death than falling slowly into oblivion with your damaged permanent record staring you in the face.
