than Meets the Eye In mid August the QUARRY Photo Editor and I were at the Herff Jones yearbook camp at Central Missouri State University. We had just spent the entire day reviewing over 600 slides illustrating what other schools across the country had done to develop and incorporate a theme into their yearbooks. I had seen much I liked, but I was looking for an idea that was special and definitely Rockhurst. That evening Matt Pateidl and I decided to do some heavy-duty brain-storming to generate such a theme for the ’88 QUARRY. By three a.m., I was convinced that “More than Meets the Eye” would be a perfect context in which to recount the events of 1988. Now is an appropriate time to explain some of the changes that were effected in the yearbook format. Before school began, I proposed some major alterations in the section distribution, which had remained virtually unchanged since the QUARRY’S first volume in 1969, in order to more effectively project the theme. The most notable of these changes is the merging of an all-new ACADEMICS section with the traditional ORGANIZATIONS section. This design idea, more completely explained in the section copy on page 29, illustrates the dynamic ability of Rockhurst students to take intellectual pursuits beyond the classroom. ACTIVITIES was replaced with a better-defined STUDENT LIFE, showing the rich life of RHS students outside of books. More emphasis was placed on the meaning and importance of community in the COMMUNITY section with “Community Features” appearing throughout the sub sections. FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS and SENIORS sections in turn included a variety of informative and entertaining features detailing specific aspects of their classes. FACULTY put on a new look by highlighting the administration, teachers and staff as many-faceted people, essential parts of the community. As the 1987-88 school year got under way, the Quarry editors bought into these changes and began to discover Rockhurst in terms of “More Than Meets the Eye.” We collectively noted the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Greenlease Campus. The STUDENT LIFE staff noted the continued caring efforts of the Pastoral Department as well as in the contributions of Mr. Stan Herbie’s Student Life Committee. ATHLETICS editors underscored the victories in sports competition and saluted the undaunted faith of RHS coaches in their players. Finally, the COMMUNITY editors found a great sense of unity and camaraderie between the faculty and students that seemed to set RHS apart from other schools in Kansas City. In conclusion, I must emphasize that many hours of tedious, mind-straining labor were spent in that little room in the basement uncovering aspects of Rockhurst that were truly “More Than Meets the Eye.” On behalf of the 1988 Quarry staff and section editors, I cordially invite you to enjoy reliving the events of 1988 with us now and in years to come.
