Sponsor Jan Glass and Editor Meg Weems had a class of students who ba- sically had no idea what it meant to be on the yearbook staff. They molded and shaped each staff member until all knew how to prepare a correct layout sheet. The “How to crop pictures” lectures and “Before you know it” deadlines had occasionally dampened spirits. I6 Yearbook Mrs. Glass, however, always knew when to change the pace. She would bring in birthday cakes or let the staff members send out for pizza and that always made life a little more bearable. Each year the Virginia High School league sponsored journalism work- shops. Last year two staff members, Heather Williams and Joyce Lindner, along with Mrs. Glass, attended. It was helpful in understanding the basics of good journalism. New ideas and tech- niques were brought up and thus brought back to the other staff mem- bers, and incorporated into the book. One of the special effects that was new to the yearbook, but not as far as tech- niques were concerned, was using col- or. By working with the Herff Jones representative and the staff members, an agreement was worked out and the yearbook was able to receive color free.

Mrs. Sheffield, the Latin teacher at SDHS, told us that her main objective for this past year was to teach her students to think reasonably and rationally. The Governor’s Seal also made the students think about college and what subjects they need to get into the school of their choice. Top right: Hail Caesar!

The changes this past year brought about many improvements for educa- tion. The students began taking more interest in their work and as a result the grade averages went up. The stu- dents also began to think things through and to ask questions about their surroundings. As a whole the aca- demic system was improved. by Sandy Wright Robin Watts History, English and foreign language I5

Choosing which pictures had to go in and what copy was right for each sec- tion was definitely an experience. When all the deadlines were over and done, however, a gentle sigh was heard.
