Collaborative Learning Produces Another Miracle "It's a miracle this book ever comes together." Uncle Al may argue that our yearbook should not be called the Miracle, and others may prefer its former title, the Cedrus,buttoeach staff member, holding a completed bound book in one's handsseems like a miracle. Like Gideon'sarmy,a remnant of the children of Israel,the small staff working on the yearbook accomplishesan amazingfeateach year - documenting events, capturing memories on film and in writing,and organizingthose happeningsintoasemblanceoforder known as the yearbook. This process,though it may be time-consuming,offersthe staffa greatcreative outletallowingthem to contribute their ideas and thoughts to a lasting publication. From the day the books are distributed,the Miraclefunctions as an advertising and recruiting tool forthecollege,a potentialTVVIRP date or homecoming date directory, and the primary reference foralumni reminiscing abouttheir college years. Of all the challenges of working on staff, the greatest one is dedication. Deadlines seem to fall when it's leastconvenientand only the faithful meet them. For those faithful students who have madethis year's bookasuccess, contributing in small or big ways, the editorial staff wants to say, "Thank you."ProducingaMiracle would have been impossible withoutthe collaborative effortsof all. May you be pleased with the results of this book, finally seeing your efforts in print. *Marsha Olsen I ZOOMING IN ON HIS SUBJECT,Steve Cook captures the moment Photo by Steve Cook Photo by Marsha Olsen INTENT ON MAKING THIS ARTICLE CREATIVE,Jennifer Henry adds the finishing touches.
