Worth The Wait YEARBOOK 23 staffers complete 208 pages How many people on this year ' s staff? What is this year ' s theme? Who is the editor? Did Dr. Beale really quit? These and many other questions were all an- swered over the summer to tune up for the 1984 Yearbook staff. With editor Jeff Girbino manning the controls, the smooth running machine sailed through the early months of the year. Ad sales started fast, but quickly tapered off. The goal of $10,600 was eventually reached by the staff. With the ad quota reached, the staff was able to switch back to the 9 x 12 book. For the first time in seven years, the 1982-83 book had been 8 x 11, and to switch back up was a plus for the stu- dents. After much deliberation, A Year Worth Waiting For was selected as the theme. The idea of the book had to do with George Orwell ' s book, 1984, and the Smile. John Rieger snaps a picture with the 35 mm. camera. This camera was used mainly for sports pictures.

One new change this year was the absence of Sunday work sessions. Dead- line time the last few years meant endless hours of work on Sundays up at the school, but the switch was made to school sent in, the staff could finally relax until next year. I was really happy with the work we did. Everyone did a super job, said everyone ' s favorite pooh-bear Jeff Girbino. It definitely was a yearbook worth waiting for. — M.H. 132 Yearbook
