But dedication and creativity delivered Socorro's largest yearbook, adding 2Q,pgge5 to allow better coverageigof sports and the increased student pop- ulation. In addition, 'jersey and bake sales were added to the staff's already loaded agenda to pay for additional color pages. Lynn K oivisto and Holly Har- ris, in their second year as edi- tor and assistant editor, respec- tively, convinced Ms. Cookie Nelson, sponsor, to let them try new techniques, including the use of original art by Rox Es- kew, The frequent appearances of Growler, Socorro's favorite puppy, seemed to personalize the book to 5ocorro's students. Yearbook sales were increased almost 30 per cent over 1980, 56 El Chato mostly through the dedicated sales work of the staff. Sports editor Rory Day and Lynn and Holly sharpened their photographic skills to help Tony Thompson, Kris Nicholes and Duane Mossman take, de- velop and print the hundreds of pictures needed. Even class editors Belia Navarette and Vilma Navarette spent time in the darkroom, trying to get the desired pictures. Clubs editor Elsa Torres and Honors editor Rosario Baeza spent long hours studying oth- er yearbooks and magazines to discover new ways to display the people in their sections. Ad managers Linda Duran and Cody Taylor drove all over town selling ads to help keep yearbook costs down, as well as helping others with their sec- tions.
