Yearbook editors find difficulties With a new adviser, a combined staff period, and an extra large staff, the Tokay members began the year with their work laid out for them. As captains of a 35- member team, Editors-in- Chief Valerie Harper and Veronica Rivero strove to meet demanding deadlines every two weeks and to establish definite com- munication between them- selves and the rest of the publications staff. The combined period is tougher to work with than newspaper and yearbook separately, said Mr. Roger Woo, publications adviser. The results of the change were evident by January. Ac- cording to Mr. Woo, the staff was about 30 pages behind, which caused emotional dif- ficulties. At the same time, photographers were added and the theme staff concen- trated on Tokay's 10 year an- niversary. This and more ad- ditional pressure and respon- sibilities drove both adviser and staff to put tremendous amounts of time into the production of the annual. 4.

Changes force Press personnel to struggle Change was the key word this year for the Tokay Press staff. This presented many new problems for the staff. The greatest of these was the fact that the Press and Tokay staffs were combined, thus creating more unanticipated deadlines and heavier workloads than in previous years. Roger Woo, who replaced Wayne Field as publications adviser, explained that having a new adviser took some adjusting. Both staffs adjusted, but many deadlines went unmet in the process. By the first part of January, the Press staff had missed publishing two of the weekly editions, as opposed to the Press' diligente with every scheduled edition in past years. The staff did, however, try to compensate for this by publishing a newspaper on various short weeks throughout the year. Woo commented that he stressed the importance of meeting all deadlines and getting more staff in- volvement as a whole. We're doing a lot of work. We have good writers and photographers. Overall, I think we're doing okay, he stated. i
