Quo Vadis 1980 evolved from a unique mixture of personalities. Faced with the task of outdoing pre- vious yearbook accomplishments, a pressure intensified by the success of Quo Vadis 79, this year's staff began early by attending a combination training seminar-swim party held in August at the publisher's house. Only after diving head first into the chore of choosing a theme and cover design were the heat-stricken editors allowed to jump feet first into the swimming pool. When they weren't fighting over whose turn it was to use the padded chair, managing editor john Lynch (bottom center) and layout editor Grace Karaffa (bottom left) could be found conversing over previous plan- ners in the left rear corner of A-207. With techni-cropper and techni-ruler close at hand, the pair set out early to create a graphic layout structure that would be unique to this year's book. At the opposite corner of the room, advisor Ms. Joseph and manag- ing editor Sandra Check (below) could always be found diligently supervising the entire production, scanning brownlines, approving arti- cles, and detailing the week's work schedule. Copy editor Rob Butchko, dubbed the Disappearing Prince for his habit of leaving rooms without leav- ing a forwarding address, could sometimes be found at the type- writer, intermittently clicking away and pausing to absorb creative inspi- ration from his radio. The radio was in direct competition with Ms. Joseph's headaches, inspiring cries of Robert, will you please lower that noise! Sandwiched between these work forces were editors Vic Wolski (top far left) and Chris Grossman, occupy- ing the center of the room. Caught in the never ending maze of picture schedules and coach interviews, these editors found themselves in constant pursuit of the exceptional candid. Similarly, the cheery two- some of Linda Rogers (top center) and Lisa Cypra, appropriately appointed as the Lighter Side editors, were faced with the age old problem of organizing interesting group pic- tures. Although good photographs are major concerns and universal to all editors, they are particularly impor- tant to class section editors. Senior editors Maria Zabaleta and Dawn Zollinger (opposite bottom right) met the tedious work of sorting por- traits with enthusiasm, quickly learn- ing to circulate from place to place in their quest to find a place to com- plete their work. Underclass editors Pam Sowley (below right) and Lynda Giovenco were able to sympathize, having been mutually unassigned to a designated area. When business editor Lynne Kowzan (bottom far left) finished her chores in the eco- nomic world, she joined the ranks of the class editors and lent helpful hands and useful ideas to less fortu- nate editors who still had to com- plete their sections. Adding a new dimension to the Curriculum section, editors Lynne Jones (opposite, top right) and Laura Saltzman worked on personalizing the faculty unit of the book. To the staff of the yearbook, and to the untitled helpers such as editor assistants Rich Platkin and Jerry Lebeda, and charismatic staffer Paul La Plante, yearbook work, while often a chore, was always an experi- ence.

Talent Expected to Yield Third 1 st Place It isn't easy following up a success. That was the obstacle facing the liter- ary magazine, as Images scored a First Place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association judging last year. As comparisons are inevitable, Mrs. Gel- sinon assured another magazine as good or better than last year. Images was expanded, as pages of material were added. So, with equal quality, the eight editors were faced with a difficult task. Co-Art editors John Wisniewski and Vic Wolski picked a capable staff to illustrate the magazine with drawings and photo- graphs. We're both first year edi- tors, Wolski explained, so we might employ a unique style differ- ent from past years. Short story editor Rob Butchko vowed a representative selection of interesting and provoking writings. Poetry editor Brent jaffe said he would stress variety with layout edi- tor Penny Silletti promising an eye- opening magazine. The production was controlled by editorial consult- ant Debbie Jackubowski, with typing editor Lori Wisniewski and business manager Les Morgan handling the mechanics of the magazine. Advisor Mrs. Gelsinon felt that she had entrusted the publication to a very capable staff of editors, who lent a unique creativity to the magazine. ABOVE: Images editors get a meeting underway.
