P ound Up 85 Yearbook staffers work year-round to publish a book filled with memories A book full of memories, that is what the Round Up ' 85 staff set out to create. And that it did. Designing a yearbook takes a lot of time, pa- tience and work. Pictures must be taken, developed and printed. Pages must be designed; copy must be written and if anyone doesn ' t do his job, someone else will have to. To get the book started, Kim Jones, editor, at- tended a week long workshop at The University of Texas with Melicent Bryarly, adviser. Jones, Conni Carville and Mrs. Bryarly attended the Texas Association of Journalism Educators meeting in Dallas in October where Carville won first place and Jones third place in page design. Kim Jones editor Martha Gonzales managing editor Arnold Vasquez people editor Conni Carville academics editor Jennifer Benco business manager Staff members Anna Hernandez, Darren Orsak, Weslely Strait, Peter Vasquez, Wendy Jones, Lisa Stolz, Melissa Saenz, Kim Leita, Lisa Martinez, Sara Smith. Photographers Darron Cardosa, head photographer; Stephanie Col- lins, Mary Jane Delgado, Ricky Garcia. As a first year staff member, Peter Vasquez worked on several sections of the yearbook. Melicent Bryarly, adviser, is responsible for all aspects of the publications department.
