But the year was not all work and no play. Yearbook members had many laughs and good times together which seemed to make the work a little less long and tedious. To break the monotony of the dreaded deadlines, the staff met at Shoney's in Concord to celebrate meeting that first deadline. After stuffing their faces, most of the staffers went to the mall where some fought over parking spaces, to see Night of the Comet. After being called down by the ushers for yelling across the theatre and almost being thrown out, everyone huddled and screamed together at the scary parts of the movie and worst of all, the shock of having a hairy thing stuck in your face at a very tense moment.

Remembering to put the folio tabs and much more. Work was shared and a lot was traded for something that someone else couldn't do but that you could.
