yi 1 Behind the Scenes The class of 1979 ranges in height from a petit four foot, nine inches to a towering six feet, six inches. The oldest member of the class was born in 1959, twenty years before high school graduation, the youngest are mere babes born in late December of 1961, making them seventeen long after leaving Stoneham High. Class members come form all over the Boston area, Niagra Falls, New York, Ft. Cambell, Kentucky, Tucon, Arizona, and even as far as Columbia, Costa Rica, jerusalem, and West Germany. The class is a balance of intellectuals, athletes, organizers, and flirts all working, taking, and giving to make up the Spectrum of the class of 1979. S., ill After the chice of the theme for the book, the staff set to work on choosing a photographer. They were seeking a studio which would give seniors a good price for graduation portraits and also be available to document various school events. Bids were placed by Purdy Vantine, Loring, and Prestige Studios. Loring was chosen because they offered the most complete service for the least amount of money. When the students had finished with the initial decisions, they started to work on the book itself. They tackled the opening section first since it had to be finished for an early deadline. Staff members arranged photos and copy, measuring each area accurately. Finally, on November 1, 1978, that section, and the cover were ready for publication. 15

The 1979 Yearbook began in the spring of 1978 with the selection ofa title and theme. Spectrum was chosen because it indicates a special effort to include the diversities of people and activities of the Senior class. ln keeping with this theme, the Yearbook staff decided to have rainbow colored pages and a variegated cover design. A multi-colored stripe was painted around the school during the summer to promote sales of the book. Also several members of the staff and senior class dressed in spectrum cos- tumes one day to advertise the idea. u At right: jane Donnelly and Ruth Estes confer with Guy Caron, a representative of Hunter Publishing CO 14 ,-4.5 ft ,f.' ,K V. 4 ,r t F., .ar .,..--eg-:: f-4: :iii ,,.,..-1 ,, A l Su v
