From The Principal J By Stanley Kotzen I Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School

"The Yearbooks are in!" The word spread quickly and almost before you could say "Let me see", youngsters were taking their $20 volumes and turning them over to friends who began to write all over the pages. If this ritual was reviewed out of context by some anthropologists in the future it would definitely support the theory that our civilization had some bizarre customs. After all. aren't books for reading? Don't we discourage writing all over

other people's possessions? And why is it that we treasure so dearly these books and their graffiti? The answer is in the nature of the book. It is The Year booh, and its memories are some of our most-golden. ALL RIGHT, all of you high school graduates, answer these. Do you know where your yearbook is? When was the last time you looked through it and wondered if she is "as crazy as ever" and whether "we really had a

great time in English class"? If you missed your last class reunion do you often wonder what happened to "Best Looking". "Most Likely ToSucceed". "Class Clown", and "Best Dressed"? Did you ever wear your hair like that? And have you had the experience of having your children go through your yearbook and tell you that your classmates looked "queer"? (If that doesn't test your restraint, nothing will.) But all of this happens with a rush when the yearbook is mentioned. It is a very special school publication, and perhap. the most precious memento of our youth. SOMETHING THAT important can't be left for just anyone to supervise. We have an exceptional advisor in Sandra Beanr and high capable editor this year in Janet Kelly. All they have to do is administer a staff of more than 40. get the right names under the pictures in a book of 168 pages, print only flattering pictures, do layouts and write copy, examine all of the esoteric references, meet the many deadlines, and for most of them these were tasks they were doing for the first time. In addition they have to come up with a theme and bear the responsibility of chronicling a very important year in the lives of more than 1.000 students and 100 staff members INVARIBI.Y IT is a thankless job. Oh, you can be certain they will get feedback. Every misspelled. misplaced or omitted name will be brought to their attention by the offended party. They will also get some grief from those who are not plr -od with photograph that does not make them look like Brooke Shields or Robert Redford. Their triumph is always very personal because they are relatively anonymous They work all year in a room with an atmosphere of disarray, and they work long after most people have left this building With all the excitement at the end of the year they are always left without appropriate gratitude or appreciation. Ebb Tides this year is an outstanding yearbook, and our congratulations will echo with every smile it brings us in the years to come.
