Newspaper Staffers Start From Scratch The Riders Di{, ' est really started from scratch. The only staff members from last year ' s staff were Tish Dierlam (the assistant editor) and myself. Kven our advisor, Mrs. Delmore, had only been with us for a few issues last year. So it was very much like experimenting around to see what we could do: what looked good, what didn ' t: what was practical, what wasn ' t: and we came up with a pajjer that was a good deal different from the ones in the past. This includ- ed behind-the-sccne things like changing head- line styles and layout techniques as well as up- front improved coverage of extra-curricular events (at least in theory). All through the year I kept telling myself Take it easy, don ' t expect too much, the staff is still |ust learning, but at every step of the way I was astounded by cvety- one ' s ability to pick things up and know what was going on, to learn quickly techniques I foun d difficult (if not almost impossible) to explain. By our second (jr third issue we had a paper that I feel in many ways surpassed any we did last year. Then again there were the prob- lems, realizing on the day of the deadline that we ' d forgotten to cover S(jme important event, crossing wires with the printers so it doubled the work for us and them, finding out there was still one page left to Jo when we had already used all the copy and pictures, ... all those fun things that gave me an excuse to tear at my hair and foam at the mouth! There was a lot of hard w(jrk. late-nighting to meet deadlines, making sure we would have all the pictures we needed (Mike Deyo deserves special commendatiim for his hard work and improvement of the quality of our pictures and photography.) Often times after cut -short assignment meetings, and layout sessions that ran on into the night I would stop and ask myself Why do we do this. ' Is it really worth It: ' And then when the finished paper comes back and is handed out. we can look at it and know the answer is definitely YES!

How did I. Diana Wcstacott. get involved in creating the 1980 Epilogue. ' ' This question has come into my mind many a time throughout this year especially when we don ' t meet a deadline or the pictures badly needed are not ready. My first exposure, other than the com- mon fact that we had a yearbook was when I was approached by advisor Mrs. Christenson and asked if I would be interested in helping complete the 78-79 book and be co-editor of the 1980 book. Let me tell you this took some thought; the end result is that I have gained an immencc amount of knowledge and had an unforgettable experience, I would like to thank all who helped Karen and I and leave you to t-njoy our creation to the fullest- Diana Wcstacott STAFF F.dicors Katen Piatt Diana Westacott Ad Managers Cheryl Pal. and r.liris Rhr)dt Photographers Karen Piatt, Dave Belcher. and Bev Westacott Staffer Todd KI Renee Keel, Ann Beumeier.
