I personally went around to recommended students and told them the benefits of joining yearbook, said Senior Lynn Forthaus. Suddenly, a group of strange faces became a unified staff. Over the summer, three days were spent attending a workshop at University of Houston where I began to realize what we were going to be doing, said Junior Judy Brown, Lynn and Chris had a barbecue and softball game for us to get to know each other. When the new yearbook staff beat the newspaper veterans, we knew we had a special team. The beginning of the school year tested that teamwork. We had announced the distribution of the 1979 books. The date was even on the marquee, when we found out thatthe books would be at least a week late, said Senior Tiffany Doucette. At the same time, staff members were finding out their section assignments and helping to get the underclassmen and senior class pictures taken. Everything went so fast. I applied for the sports editor position even though I didn't know very much about sports. Believe me, I learned quickly! said Junior Becky Schmidt. Everyone learned lessons in writing copy, designing Quad- paks, and cropping pictures. My mom thought I was crazy when I bought a bus tub to keep all my stuff in. But I really needed it, commented Senior Bonny Baxter. Serving food is what brought us together, said Junior Miles Fain. The staff got together and started being like a family when we worked the concession stand for the two-day speech contest in September. Everybody wore the Mr. Bill Publications' shirts we got. I did the voice of Mr. Bill with my other impressions all the time during class, but that one stuck. We used Mr. Bill as the theme for the slide show, commented Junior Lance Morgan. Throughout the year there were some problems, but most of them were pretty small: lost grease pencils, missing pica rulers, broken typewriters and sometimes uncooperative photographers, said Junior Sandra Wauson. Besides learning about responsibilities, we had a lot of Taking a big bite, Junior Becky Schmidt rnunches on an apple while finishing a layout, :P i ' f f 3 li 5 - Ee . 5 I it is Listening carefully, Sophomore Ann Grace leans over her tape recorder to hear an interview. good times too. We tried to celebrate everyone's birthday and on Valentine's Day we all went over to Ms. Schneider's for dinner and watched The Exorcist on television. It scared Miles to death, said Junior Carol Lindsay. Late in March, both the yearbook and newspaper staffs went to the University of Texas in Austin for two days of journalism workshops. We had the best time! said Sophomore Ann Grace. Most of the sessions were pretty good, and we got to walk around campus a lot too. Finishing up the year in May were a softball game against Spring Woods' journalism staffs and a traditional awards banquet at Brennen's restaurant. I neverthought that the year would end, said Sophomore Lisa Sedgwick, especially when we kept working after the last day of regular classes. I was so proud of this year's staff, they made being the editor a breeze, said Senior Lynn Forthaus. Not only did we capture the year for all of the other students, but we also made it very special for those of us on staff. .. - Q xt. Nw .
