2010 Miracle Yearbook

Thank you! mirom the editors To a great photo staff(partly made up of close friends, one/eighth made up of a multiple year co-worker who graciously agreed to suddenly give in to my demands this year, and the rest new photo staffers, who were certainly not new to photography): We were all very blessed to work together! Thank you for hauling bottom to get assignments done by dates that were erroneously set in stone earlier than they even needed to be. Thank you for running out to strange sports games that you didn't want to be at after feeling some sort of nagging pathetic sympathy toward me after my begging for your 10 minutes of photo coverage. Really, all of you were great, and we have the beautiful photojournalism presented in this book to show for it. Remember not to use a flash, or... um, a camera that produces any sound at ALL, (or to stand up or move around or cough)at any musical recital you cover in your future. With much love and gratefulness, and no more "photo stuff" emails, Ashley Dear Staff, Oh my goodness, we made it! That was quite the year, let me say. I honestly don't know how I survived. I do know having a dependable staff was a huge help. After sending out my scathing deadline reminders, I'd check the assignments folder to find that most ofthe work was already done. And done well! I started out this year with (once again) a vague idea of what I wanted.(Y'know, kinda old newspaper feel, sensational, but not crazy...) And you took that and delivered excellent copy that fit the book so well. That's another help on my work schedule: not giving back stories for revision! Many of you were friends, and those of you I didn't know at the beginning of the year, I enjoyed getting to know. I'm sad to see most of you go, but I know you'll do well out in "real life." Enjoy! -Brent My versatile layout staff, Despite my long,confusing emails and irregular assignments, you guys managed to complete the layouts in a timely manner.You guys worked hard and found ways to get the spreads done between classes and busy college life. Thank you all for being a great layout staff that I could rely on. -Trevor
