This year ' s Citadel staff was led by the senior officers, Caryn Gold, Mary Proenza, and Kent Ninomya, who were appointed by the sponsor Ms. McGowan. The staff began collect- ing poems, short stories and artwork in the Spring. They met once or twice a week to edit the manu- scripts and select the best pieces for the Citadel. The Citadel provided an opportunity for students to have their artwork and creative writing published, and it gave pleasure to all those who received a copy at the end of the year.

Extra! Extra! Read All About Us! For the most part, being inexperienced and having to struggle together gave us a great deal of personality! exclaimed Commander Editor-in-Chief John Griffen. John said that he and the roct - |- staff were proud that they put out a paper almost twice as often as they did the year before. Major efforts were made by Advisor Ms. Arlene LaPlante and Co-Editors Yasuko Shirakawa and Adam Behar, to make sure that people met their deadlines and pa- pers come out on time. Many steps were necessary to put out a pa- per every three or four weeks. First, articles had to be conceived and the writing and pho- tography assigned. Finished articles were sent to the printer and the returned columns of copy were fit to the earlier layout sketches before final printing was done. After each issue was printed the staff critiqued the completed paper. Mistakes were not blamed on a few; the entire staff took responsibility for both victo- ries and defeats. This made the Commander staff a close one. According to Ms. LaPlante We either sink or swim but, we do it togeth- er. Mrs LaPlante and John Griffin are stunned by a good idea Mark Richards and Editor Yasuko Shirakawa work on a layout. Back row Tina Sullenberger. Pam Ceren, Lisa Rahlser, John Ring.
