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.
