The YEARBOOK staff in its usual way. Just clowning around. You can always find Mindy and Sherryl with something in their hands. Matt and Jim get ready to sell yearbooks. Hard work and long hours. This is what has been put into this book. A lot of rules are to be followed in order to put out a good annual. Because of this, six of the students on the staff went to Ball State University in Muncie during July for the Journalism Workshop. This is the first year the staff was so excited about going. Melodie Belles, Editor, along with Matt Brower, Jim Cash, Patty Dittmer, Mindy Makowsky and Sherryl Stein were involved in the workshops. This year there are 32 more pages than the previous year. The staff also had a 600 dollar debt to meet. The staff put on two Rock concerts to help pay the record cost of $4,700 for the book you are now holding. The annual staff obtained its own room this year. It is the small room by the study hall. The staff had a painting party one evening so now when you walk past the yearbook room the colors you see are bright orange and blue.
