Alcala 1970

Much of what direction a yearbook takes is determined by theme, photography, and luck. We chose "Faces" as a theme because we could work well with it, being able to portray the school visually from many angles. Our theme editor was Randy Woodard, who, along with the Black Avenger, worked long, and often exasperatedly, to unify the yearbook. We were fortunate with the photography we received. Victor Avila, Rocky Bayless, Pat Canova, Greg Downs, and Karl Eklund provided the staff with photographs which were excellent visual representations of nebulous ed­ itorial ideas. The photography was excellent. Copy editor Claudia Little was the energy of the staff. No one worked longer during the school year. Mike Breen put together the entire sports section, with little assistance from anyone. Mike also helped finish the yearbook during the summer. Madeline Monte surfaced during respites from illness to help and encourage, as our layout editor. The spirit of her wit is here somewhere. Activity editor was a tough assignment. We lost several. The two who eventually shared the job were Terry Hanten andDonata Luberski. Ithank them both. Cathy Bittick did so much work on the book that I eventually appointed her research editor. It eased my con­ science. Cathy, Randy, and Mike were the main contributors during the summer. Others who contributed many more hours than expected included Lo Dillon, Karen Doyle, Carlos Goulart, and Dan Meyers. It was a l ong year. A lot of work went into the book. There were misfortune^ and good fortunes, but without the work, the book wouldn't be what it is.

it seems that perhaps there isnothing unholy

nothing unrelated

and thatas we fit things together synthesize rather than analyze.
