ers. Many organizations encompass so much more time and effort than people realize. Many people don’t think about such things when they read a school news- paper, watch a football game, see a play, or page through a yearbook. Many an editor or organization pres- ident have wondered if they will make it to tomorrow with their sanity salvaged. There are advisors who feel the very same way. Sometimes it makes you wonder if all of your work will pay off in the end. But when you hear the crowd cheer for you, see a person smile while reading your newspaper article, or witness the surprise on the faces of the students when the yearbooks finally arrive in the spring, you know that all of your effort has finally paid off.
