Twoey Tom What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a trip down timemory lanei, for most people. It is filled with the bind of pictures which bring gasps of astonishment, sighs, smiles, or laughter from its readers. It is the journalistic attempt to bring together as many of the important, special, funny, and sad events of an entire school year and combine them into a meaningful whole. The task of producing such a book belongs to the yearbook staff. These students, with the help of their faculty advisors and yearbook representative, are responsible for creating a piece of work which represents a bind of pictorial diary of a very impor- tant year for them, their classmates, and others involved with academic life. At WRAIN, the staff of The Pledge begins early to prepare for the task they have volunteered to perform.

Hijahll The WRAIN karate Club knows this exclamation well. The members had practice sessions every Tuesday and Thursday night as well as Saturday mornings. At the begin- ning of the year the club put on a demonstration in the Rose Garden so that all could see what karate entails. The Club also entered a local tourna- ment, where Donna Talbott won 2nd place in Kata. This was the last year that WRAIN will have its own karate club but a class will be offered through the Rec- reation Center. Many thanks are ex- tended to Norm Pregent, the instructor, for his time and eifort. Left to Right, Front Row: N. Keller, S. Kleschinsky, D. Talbott, R. Ostmann, N. Pregent. Back Row: R. Tateishi, N.

From the start of the school year, the co-editors work to plan the book, including the allotment of pages for each section, the theme of the copy, and the general outline of the finished product. Once these basic foundations have been established, other staff members Stan ordering pictures, writing appropriate headlines and copy and developing page layouts geared to bring important elements of student, faculty, academic and social life into 3 focus. The reward comes When t the work is finally done and the t finished yearbook arrives from t the publishers. At that point, the i rush to meet deadlines and all of t the problems associated with 1 completing a yearbook become ; worthwhile. For then, even t though the actual days are gone, t the reminders of the past linger t in the pages of the yearbook to t cherish for a long time beyond. 31 - skk
