The staff began planning the latest edition of the annual while most students were still sunbathing and en- joying their summer. Staff members at- tended a summer journalism workshop at the University of Texas at Arlington where they chose a theme for the year- book, planned their cover and decided on layout styles.

At the conventions the students heard experts in the field talk about what was currently in fashion for yearbooks and saw examples of award-winning work.
