Annual Arrangement... ANNUAL TAKES ON NEW LOOK At the first meeting there was a flame of hope as the staff organized into sections and elected editors under the supervision of Ms. Abboud, the art teacher. The meeting started off with a great deal of enthusiasm when staff members suggested new themes for the yearbook. Eventually, “Roads Through Time” was agreed upon as the 1980-1981 annual theme. Different ideas were suggested for the cover - a picture of main street, a photograph of a park road, and a traffic sign. Kelly Scheerger took the task of designing the cover and came up with a contemporary idea. This year’s annual began to take on a new look with a central theme throughout the book, a story for each organization, a border tape outling certain events, and •a new concept of running a picture across the middle of the page. Dedicated students devoted their time on Monday evenings to design layout sheets. Among a few of the students were Shelley Daberkow, Christine Black, and Shelley Black who used their writing abilities to prepare copy. Many other people helped also, including the fearless college composition class. Of course, the photographers -Jill Toelle, Diane Slagle, Pat Kollath, Carol Stark, Kathy Lubker, and Jodi Haynes -were always busy developing or taking pictures, to say the least. With the West Point News setting type and providing border tape the annual began to take shape. Remarkably, the yearbook was finished in time with an inexperienced staff and it was all made in their spare time!

Tick of Time 60. Rebecca Ventris 61. Tamara Wendt 62. Conrad Westerman Time, one moment... flies by. One moment... takes forever. And yet these moments, use the same minutes, and somehow rule people. Even a rich millionaire, is ruled by the tick of a mechanical clock. Someday everything will be run by clocks. It will only take a little time. Juniors 63. Brian Wickert 64. Stuart Wiese 65. Shelly Wooldrik 66. LeAnn Wordekemper. Tuesday was theme day. The juniors had “Dispose the “Dragons” and everybody wore trash bags. People were running around making sure everybody had one. And everybody remembers nights getting our float ready and preparing the skit. Especially when we practiced the very morning we put it on. And then, to top it all off, the Seniors won the spirit stick! To ruin a tradition like that was depressing but after all, we had fun throughout and thats really all that counts. The Juniors are at it a-gain! Rushing madly from house to house trying to sell magazines to finance the Jr.-Sr. Prom. They were easy to spot, fingers sore from pushing doorbells and a dejected look from being rejected. But at each new house they were at it again with a bright smile trying to get a customer. And what results did they get from this labor? A record! We made more than anyone before! Another major aspect of Junior activities is Jr.-Sr. Prom. Everybody has to go through it once. In February, ideas start rolling and plans are made. You can see Juniors running around trying to make important decisions and make Prom night special so the Seniors appreciate it. After a theme is decided on, decorations planned, waiters and waitresses chosen, programs, napkins, and invitations ordered, the hard part is yet to come. A week before the Prom the juniors are working night and day decorating the gym for the big dance - a very exhausting experience. But it was worthwhile. So Prom ends another year and we’ll be back again as Seniors another year behind us and further along the road to life, ready to take the world!
