Learning how to crop pictures, write copy, captions, and head- lines, the junior staff members worked alongside their senior editor, Jan Duncan. Attempting to produce the best book ever, the staff began working hard. The obvious place to start was choosing a theme. After checking out several ideas, it was decided this year's theme would be The Way We Were. The objective ofthe 1982 Clarion staff was to construct a yearbook incorporating the memories of our happy school years. 41

There were many new experiences that the sophomore had to look forward to, or dread, whatever the case may be. Drivefs Ed. seemed to cover both. Students were glad to be learning to drive, but were also scared of totally destroying the car, as well as the passengers. After six weeks of class work and six hours of roadwork, the students weren't quite as scared and were ready for their sixteenth birthday and, hopefully, their license.
