MAKING MEMORIES When asked five years ago if she was interested in the position of yearbook advisor, Mrs. Roberta Taylor readily agreed. She replaced Miss Moore, who filled the job before her. Mrs. Taylor is experienced in the field because she was the Activities Editor of the Crest when she was a student at Wrilson High. Our very own Mr. Kent was the advisor at the time. We talked with Mrs. Taylor about some of the mysteries of yearbook production. Many students wonder how the dedication is chosen. She explained that the process changes from year to year. This year, the staff voted on nominations. The only people who know of the decision before yearbooks are distributed are Mrs. Taylor, the Layout Editor, Copy Editor, and the Editors-in-Chief. This year’s theme was selected through a similar process. The group discussed many ideas and finally decided on Sunrise, Sunset.” The entire staff tries to keep these two secrets from the student body to create suspense. We asked Mrs. Taylor how a student earns a position on the staff. She responded by saying that all a student needs to do is to “indicate an interest in being on the staff and to demonstrate his her readiness to work.” She also stated the benefits that students receive from working on the staff. The young people get experience in working with others and the opportunity to exercise their creativity.” They also learn much about themselves and their school. Mrs. Taylor added, The staff gets the chance to see their ideas come to FRUITION!” (In other words, they see the product of their work. Spoken like a true English teacher!) Most importantly, the yearbook is a great chance to help your class and still have tons of FUN! EDITORS 1. Activities — Renee Bateman 2. Classes — Alicia Kowalchuk 3. Faculty — Beth Attfield 4.
