f Sorting mugs is a time consuming job for Kim Barnard and Marcie Hassebroek. Our designing geniuses: Karen Sole, Kim Barnard, Marcie Hassebroek, Thor Melchior, Terry DeVries, Micky Schruf, Layout Editor, As evidenced by previous pages, you have noticed that this yearbook, the 1978-79 Aurora, is no ordinary production. After the Aurora staff came up with an absolutely extraordinary idea, they went to work to make this book a very special, completely original edition. Of primary importance as the idea of using People magazine as a model for the desgn of this book, an idea driven by the creative force fo co- editors Lory Barsdate and Russ Talvi. Next came the trendsetting decision to convert the Auroa from the traditional spring delivery book into the complete yearbook. When the staff came up with the idea to use People magazine as the theme, Aurora Adviser Mrs. Philleo felt it was the most appropriate theme ever. What better way to put the students of West Valley into the yearbook than to concentrate on people and focus on the students themselves? This was easier said than done. Much of what the staff had previously learned concerning the production of a yearbook, had to be set aside to make room for the style and format of People magazine. More copy was desired, layout of the he-,1 Liz Tonkins, Linda Streit, Marcia Fenton, Layout Editor, Jennifer Fate, Layout Editor, Kelly Wien, Leslie Monroe, Kari Allen. pages had to be altered and the normal sequence of the book had to be fitted to suit People's format. The major factor contributing to the success fo this undertaking, was 'of course, the introduction of the complete yearbook. With the final deadlines for mailing pages pushed toward the end of school, there was ample time to re-educate the staff and to put new staffers through an orientation period. The complete yearbook also left time for a more involved fall sale campaign, including for the first time, room-to-room sales. Most importantly, more time allowed the staff to give coverage of spring events not usually included in the spring delivery books. The addition of the extra pages, four times the amount of color as was in last year's book, the special autograph supplement and finding the gumption to pave the way for the complete yearbook program was no minor task. The increased pressure on artists, copywriters, layout artists, photographers, editors and our adviser did however prove conquerable and the results of this effort can be seen right under your nose.
