And another thingg why in the world do I have to get up so early on Saturday morning of all days so I can be at school at 9:U0?! This was the common dialogue that began in September when the Aurora, Volume 16, got under way. The com- plaints and confusion relaxed a bit as the staffers, only five of which were returnees from previous years, began to grasp the concept of what putting a yearbook together was all about. Sticking to Aurora tradition, Busi- ness Manager Peggy Holod began ad week soon after school closed up for the summer. Hitting the big and small businesses for ads however, was not the only thing that occupied the Au- rora staffers' sunny days. They made time for car washes and bake sales at Bilmor Hair Designers, and they sent editor Terri Rutter and two new staff- ers, Karen Holod and Nancy Barker to the Yearbook Workshop at Hiram College. Then, during the beautiful season when the leaves turn from green to orange and red, and most people spend Saturday mornings sleeping in after late night football games, Aurora staffers were occupied with layout mats, pica rulers and hopefully pictures and copy. Editor Terri Rutter revamped the format and some of the tradition of the book this year. She was deter- mined to have layouts follow the three column method, plus, what seemed like a novel's worth of were 'given, everything was rewritten two or three times until it was finally right. Peggy Holod's sales campaign sold over 600 books and the pages began to pull to gether, the Aurora staff saw that a yearbook was finally being put together. Sm Advisor Iohn M Maggiano and Editor-in- Chief Terri Rutter work closely together.
