IA fundraiser pull 7,250 Highlighting the year for Com- munications Improvement Associa- tion was the Food and Toy drive which reached a record high of 7,250 food items, the most successful in I5 years. CIA, an organization based on community service, helping the school and the surrounding com- munity, had an increase in the amount of participation. The people that are participating gave a lot of support. We've planned a new Easter project which should keep people interested in the club, said Kuldip Kaur, CIA chair- person. The club suffered some problems with the escort service, but all other committees contributed a lot. Some of the problems for the escort service were because its a joint service with Conflict Manage- ment, who was looking for a per- manent room, so it didn't get off to a good start, said Kaur. For students who needed help in academic studies, CIA sponsored student tutoring session, and had a successful turnout. CIA's goal was to bring forth more participation and to do more activities. CIA officers were Kuldip Kaur, chairperson, Billy Griffitts, vice chairperson, Christine Cefalu, sec- rataryg and John Cook, treasurer. by Cynthia Hill photos by Stephen Chesley www ' 5' if 3 'N X yy! 1 ' .ww l., Y- I.

The press room and its people made a sound of and by themselves. At the beginning of the year there was a real conflict between the editors, said Kate Steinheim- er, co-editor-in-chief of the Tokay Press. Accord- ing to her, this backstabbing conflict was settled in a gang-up, honest complaint airing of every possible grievance known to man. Although, once the claws were put away the Tokay Press could get about its business, striving for excellence. l think that this year we had a really strong staff. We had good writers on every page, said Steinheimer. News photographers, too, came up to meet the pressroom challenge. They lphotographersl work together in that they're always pushing each other to the limits, said Eric Johnston, head photo- grapher, I This type of dedication finally paid off in victory. The staff took the sweepstakes, the highest award for overall excellence, at the San Joaquin Valley Press Association competition. The conflicts, resolutions and laughter made this group a family dependent on one another for the successful production of the Tokay Press. But with this year the veterans move on and a new group will come to take their place. But their history, recorded in their product, will remain behind on the shelves of the journalism classroom for years to come. lt was: Frustating. Tiring. Fun, believe it or not, said Tim Skamel, sports reporter. by Robin Saxen Tokay Press
