Under the guidance ot Monica McAdams, editor, and Kris Zmuda, assistant editor, the statt was able to continue the tradition ot producing a weekly paper. Monica thought this would be a problem. Many ot the statt members were inexperienced but ev- eryone caught on very quick- ly, and so publishing a weekly paper wasn't nearly as ditticult as l thought it would be, she said. Something new was the meetings after school on Mon- day. They were used to plan tor the tollowing week's paper. Lori Wroblewski, teature edi- tor, explained, Staying atter school helped to put our ideas together and to become orga- nized.

We really pulled through to pro- duce some great issues. We were proud ot the 25th anni- versary issue with all ot its ex- citing teatures about Thorn- ridge, commented Kris. All together there was a total ot 25 issues. The statt learned much more than writing well under pres- sureg they learned the mean- ing ot working together as a statt in creating a guality publi- cation. Bagpipe lOl

There were many steps to be taken before the yearbook could be completed. The first step was deciding on a theme. A Silver Lining was an ap- propriate theme as the school celebrated its 25th year. Twen- ty-five years ago, the first copy was written, the first pictures were cropped, the first layout was completed, and the first cutlines were written. Twenty- five years later, copy writing and picture cropping were still the prime factors.

Camp was great because we had no ex- perience before we went, and we came home actually feeling confident about facing the staff, stated Nancy and Lisa. The staff was on a non-stop pace from September to May to get the yearbook distributed before the close of school. I took the class as an easy credit break in my regular schedule. As it turned out, it was one of my most pressured classes, stated Vickie Kunst. Trying to capture a year's worth of memories with photos and copy was not an easy job as the staff worked to live up to the Piper's reputation of ex- cellence.
