What clicked...and didn't Ideally yearbook staffers would decide on the pictures they needed for their layouts, hand their photo assignment sheets to Head Photog- rapher jeff Correll and sit back and wait for their pictures. But the ideal seldom happened. Staffers usually found themselves waiting and wait- ing and waiting. But for every time a photographer didn't show up or didn't get the right kind of picture, there were hundreds of times when they made the yearbook staff members happy. Every one started out fine, but I Checking out newly developed nega- tives, Randy Neighbour inspects his photos, which he had taken the night before, at graduation. Cutting negatives into strips, Senior jeff Corre I gets ready to make contact prints. jeff's duty, as head photogra- pher, was to see that all pictures that staffers wanted were taken. 44 photographers know the photographers got tired of being yelled at, said Activities Edi- tor Leigh Whelan. Each photographer had individual responsibilities. jeff, for instance, took all group shots which Groups Editor Tiffany Doucette, junior, set up. People were always running into the room saying 'where's the photographer? He's supposed to be taking our group shots, said Publi- cations Adviser Peggy Schneider. In one six week period jeff took, devel- oped and printed 60 group shots. Naomi Bullock must have broken some kind of record. She set up, photographed and developed 30 honor award pictures in a little over 4 days, continued Ms. Schneider. Naomi's photographic awards included first in advertising photog- raphy in the state lnterscholastic League's competition, first in ad photography in the Texas High School Press Association and sec- ond in yearbook portrait photogra- phy in Texas. She was the first per- son in Stratford's history to have a photographic portfolio advanced to national competition. But staffers identified her most with a quiet do I have to? when approaching her for photos. One year-long dilemma turned out to be tennis pictures. Sports Edi- tor Betsy Bonvillain assigned at least eight tennis matches to be taken. I assigned tennis pictures in january when the season opened and May 30 I finally had to go out and shoot it myself, said Betsy. Cyrene was responsible for drai ing up the tennis layout. lt's real embarrassing when you set up pi tures over and over and they nev get taken. People begin to wor about you, said Cyrene. Definitely exasperating, fi Randy Neighbour, junior, yearbot photography meant taking mo pictures of sophomores than I ev wanted to take. Randy was famoj for taking pictures without filmi the camera. j Lisa Duncan, senior, was mo remembered coming into cla sleepy-eyed and late on days whi homeroom was scheduled. Shel say, Oh, was there homeroo today? Lisa, a two year veter. Mnemosyne staff member, d almost everything that was asked her said junior Maureen Kuzik. , ln addition to those photogr phers who were in yearbook cl: second period and who did t majority of the work, the two Ora: photographers, jennifer Van Gilg and Danny Boone helped out. j , nifer was responsible for all tra pictures and Danny was a big he during football season, said juni HeatherStewart. I Other photographers who co tributed their work to yearbo were Marc Ostrofsky, Greg Scha Steve Paine, Rolfe Williams, Be' Bonvillain, Yvette Helin, Robin Mt ris and Randy Rubin. ? 5
