1988: A Year Of Uncertainties By Robert Swingle

When you finally receive your yearbook, what is the first thing you notice? Why, it's the cover. And what is on the cover? The theme. I'm sure many people read a yearbook theme and wonder how the JOurnalism class came up with it.

Aside from what you might think, this is a very serious and important part in the construction of a yearbook. The staff must assimilate all the events, all the activi­ties, everything that has happened in the span of that year, and condense all of th1s material accurately into one eye-catching theme. This was a task that was even more difficult this year.

When th1s year's staff sat down in the beginning of Dec. 1987, to devise a theme, we didn't know where to start. Many things were happening, very important events that could well influence every aspect of school life. The levy, for instance, had been shot down by the voters once, and its prospects for being passed the next time seemed very dim. A levy failure would mean no sports, no clubs, class cuts, teacher cuts, and much more that could be detrimental to the school. In addi­tion, the sen1or class had so l1ttle funds that it seemed a trip would be out of the question. On the other hand, our football team had a great year in comparison with the

Jill' • • •

past, winning more games than in many years previous­ly.

All these things were going through our minds wh n we sat down to draft a theme. Two weeks later we had about ten themes to vote on. The group of students that devised each theme gave a presentation to the class, trying to "sell" the rest of us on their idea. Well, we narrowed them down to three, and eventually chose the one we are now usmg. We didn't feel it would be right to just show the "up" side of things when there were some very memorable "downs."

So, here you have it . The good and the bad. A fair representation of the year in its entirety. A good solid theme that summarizes so much in so few words . A theme that holds the book together and holds some memories for you too .
