Annual is a lot of fun. My first year was pretty hard, but as time went on, it got a lot easier. Being on the staff takes a lot of hard work and time. It is more than just sitting in class and goofing off. There are large amounts of money involved. Ads must be sold, book orders must be taken, and fund-raising projects must be undertaken. This is because the Roundup must be self- supporting, just like a business. Being editor is the toughest job. Not only do I have to check and guide staff members in their assignments and deadlines, I have assignments and deadlines as well. It ' s a lot of fun when it ' s all over because we can look back and laugh at all of the times we stayed up all night, yes, ALL NIGHT, working to meet a deadline. We work hard on making memories last forever. J Dana Oeding ft.

earbook depicting student life is main goal As the keys of a typewriter tap, young and dedicated journalists work frantically deter- mined to meet their first deadline. The journalism depart- ment takes many hours of concentration and pa- tience. The act of com- posing a yearbook is a difficult task. Information must be gathered and then put into a specific order. Stories are to be written, pictures are to be taken, ads are to be sold, and designs are to be created. Brainstorming is a familiar word to the jour- nalists. Creating a story takes imagination and creativity. The story must be exciting and inter- esting so that it will keep the readers attention. Journalism is hard, but I don ' t mind doing the work because it pays off in the end, said Diane Diaz, junior. The yearbook is the most important project throughout the year . . . and the journalism department plans to make it the best! Lydia Hobbs, Robert Sims, Mrs. Melicent Bryarly, and Tammie Coleman select pictures for various layouts. Shelley Pribyl. rereads her story in order to eliminate typographical errors so that the story is complete and ready for page shipments. Lydia Hobbs confers with Dana Ceding, editor, to assure her of proper layout design. Yearbook 174

TA students today, teachers tomorrow The Future Teachers have been very active. They held many fund-raisers, including a candy sale, a Mexican Dinner and a Henco products sale. Community service plays an important role in the club. They used their skills in tutoring at the Adult Learning Center. The club members enjoyed the op- portunity to experience teaching individuals and the class as a whole. Three members served as of- ficers on the district level, Sherry Tillmon, Nicole Mathis and Shay Kuykendall. Sherry Tillmon was elected District Recording Secretary for 1987- 88 at the District Convention. Stroman hosted the convention in November. FTA is an exciting club, said Sharon Whitby, senior. You really learn to work for something you want — which is attending the state convention. Jr. F.T.A. officers: Bottom, Tracie Gant, financial secretary; Evette Sut- ton, vice president. Top.
