Where are those pictures I was prom- ised?! a desperate voice cries out on deadline day. All eyes fall to the floor to avoid that per- secuting glare someone gives you when they undeservingly get stuck with the burden of meeting a deadline. Some feeble excuse is mumbled and unease sets about the room. Suddenly, a fatigued photographer bolts through the door with his final prints. The staff sets to work, redrawing a new lay- out, cropping pictures, and exchanging ideas on preparing the last minute idents. The pages are completed and the deadline is met, en- abling a June distribution instead of Spe- tember. The Yearbook Staff is really just one big family, Advisor Rob Coons commented. There is so much pressure loaded on our shoulders that we have to work as a team to accomplish our goal: producing the best qual- ity yearbook we can, on time, and at the lowest price possible. The improved quality was aided not only by a conscientious staff, but with the help of volun- teer copy editor Susan Vreeland, a literature teacher at UCHS. In overseeing the various stages of compos- ing the yearbook, Lisa Monita, editor-in-chief, was supported by assistant editors: Jeni Bets and Diana Lublin; copy editors: Collette Mur- phy and Karen Phillips; layout editor: Diana Lublin; and head photographer: Tom McSherry. Mr. Coons added, We only had five people returning from last year, so they had to train Headlines To Deadlines Made Times Hard!!! Between trains: Mike Houghton.

Opening Locked Doors Hey, why didn ' t you join the Key Club? Why? My dad isn ' t a locksmith! No, it has nothing to do with keys. The Key Club is . . . A community service group. It is affiliated with Kiwanis International and plans events to- gether. If you can remember back to Christ- mas, you probably bought your tree from a Key Clubber. They took your shoes at the dances in the gym and, in addition, planned a fund-raising dinner, with the proceeds going to Children ' s Hospital. They looked forward to more chances to serve their community. The officers of the Key Club go over their notes. Bill, Please don ' t eat the magazine! screeched Chris Lechner.
