El Rancho 1966 Editor: Gloria Garza Bigger Photographer: George Gillett Staff: James Ivy Janice Weeks Paul Snider Sandra Niemann Roel Garcia Sharon Scott Sponsor: SheraLyn Alexander Editor: Gloria Garza Bigger What You Will Read The El Rancho is a result of collective efforts by the staff to present an accurate, meaningful reflec- tion of the campus, the people, and the year. As in previous years, the editors of the yearbook have had a main decision to make: What do we want to accomplish and can we do it? After pre- liminary research in past yearbooks and modern mag- azines, the staff chose the theme of the seasons— meaning that campus activities and notable events would be viewed according to each season. The theme begins with the colored photographs and con- cludes as two seniors are viewed graduating in May. Combining ideas, the staff has also attempted to present a yearbook for four types of readers: the students, faculty, non-students, and for readers who will read the annual ten years from today. A major portion of the book underwent changes such as the new divisions created this year. These di- visions include the Personalities division, presenting students who have received coveted honors either by election or selection; Performing Arts division, em- phasing the cultural aspect of the college; and also a Features section, stressing the picture-story of oc- currences not always emphasized on campus. The staff hopes that the readers will enjoy this edition—the 1966 El Rancho. Photographer: George Gillett 4
