, o.1- to 1: ~ : • Designing and executing the production of this yearbook was a difficult undertaking, but • the end result is worth the frustration and hard work. Many hours, days, weeks, and months : have been spent trying to make this one of the best yearbooks ever to be published at W.M.C. 'It took a great deal of effort and dedication to motivate others to live up to my high expecta- : tions, and though I can be too much of a perfectionist at times, I think that the finished product • reflects these high expectations. • With the help of the instructors at the Herff Jones' Yearbook Workshop that I attended • : for a week in July, I was able to come up with a theme, cover design, layout designs for the six • sections of the book, end sheet designs, layout designs for the opening and closing, as well as : an organizational plan for the entire book. I also learned the latest in yearbook page design • which I tried to incorporate in this book. It was my intention to celebrate the anniversary of the : school by comparing and contrasting the old with the new. I think you will like the magazine- • inspired layout designs that were used to make this book more up-beat and contemporary. • I was not solely responsible for this book so I would like to thank everyone who helped : to make the publication of this book possible. Diana Deitch, our off-campus advisor, has been • • a terrific support and friend. Without her help we could not have pulled it off. Not only did she : make sure others were doing their work, she also pitched in when necessary by drawing lay- • outs, :t'Ping copy, and getting photos identified. She even got her husband Scott Deitch in- :~o~~~.'I ~~t~~~k~g~ttw~~ti~b~l~eh~~~s~n~n~O£~~6~:~~~rh~I~.section.Thank you both so • I would like to extend many thanks to Mike Harris, our representative from Hertt Jones. : I appreciate your willingness to help out wherever and whenever your could.
