Unsung Heroes (March 28, 2007)

| Few
events around GM are as eagerly anticipated as the distribution of yearbooks
each spring, as Masonites line the halls to discover which photos, captions,
and quotes will forever symbolize each nearly completed school year. However,
dozens of pages of memories don’t just miraculously appear each May. It is up to the dedicated editors of the Mustang
yearbook to put all this together. These editors often labor in anonymity.
Seniors Irene Morrison-Moncure and Jessie Miller
and junior Stephanie Brown spend hours both at home and at school organizing
pages, taking photos at school events, and writing text for the edition. Morrison-Moncure and Miller even attended a camp this past summer
in Williamsburg to brush up on their knowledge of yearbook design, layout,
and writing. “Both girls
have shown uncommon dedication and consistency, all while successfully
managing significant obligations,” said yearbook co-sponsor Ms. Melanie
Besio. The theme of the 2006-2007 yearbook is “Footprints” and
features 208 pages. Six hundred
copies have already been sold and numerous local businesses have paid
for advertising. Although Morrison-Moncure and
Miller will be graduating this year, Stephanie Brown will continue to
work on the Mustang next year and will ably take over the senior editor
position. From left to right are
