Annual E941 8t Call Me In The Mornl Don Davis hangs precariously on a ladder All fun and games? Hardly! The annual staff begins work on while putting up a sign announcmg the Bazaar After the frenzy of the first ballgames, Mrs Holly's face shows relief for the sparse crowd at the last game. the yearbook on the yearbook during summer vacation. Staffers sacrifice some of their hours of fun in the sun to sell ads, make things for the Christmas Bazaar, and have brainstorming sessions to choose a theme and think up ingenious ways to make money to finance the annual. After school starts, work becomes more regular and intense. Writing and rewriting COPY, drawing and redrawing layouts, and typing and retyplng copy to meet those inevitable deadlines takes up all of fourth period and many hours after school. Then there are always pictures to schedule, to take, and to develop. The addition of a darkroom has helped on that score, but the plaintive cry, I can't finish this layout because I don't have any pictures, can still be heard at least once a day. A lot of work goes into producing a yearbook and lots of work concerns financing. With no money budgeted from the county, staffers must pay for the annual through the sale of advertising space, subscriptions, and various fund raising activities. So for members of the annual staff, the work does not stop at the end of fourth period. Members handle the concession stand at football games, sell spirit chain links during Homecoming Week, put on the annual Senior Beauty and Beau Pageant, and this year added a Christmas Bazaar. Staffers take on many responsibilities and sometimes get discouraged and frustrated, but when the annual arrives in the Spring all agree that the work is worthwhile. 82 ClubslAnnual Staff Carefully watching her fingers, Harriett DeJarnett cuts spirit chain links. When in a jam, staff members get together, hoping that three heads will be better than one.
