hat does it take to make a yearbook? Money, time, effort, and once in a while, some trivial necessities as well.

Making a yearbook. Sounds easy enough. We, naive people that we were, thought so too. At the beginning, it is.

So we set out to do this relatively "easy" task, thinking that we'd finish real early. Boy, how wrong we were. The days became weeks. 1993 became 1994. We simply had to keep on going. And going. And going. And going.

Still, giving up an idle summer wasn't our only sacrifice. There were the brainstorming sessions. Planning, editing, drawing, and arguing. All tiring, all frustrating. The prolems never seemed to end.

There were times when we felt like giving up, but we never did. Why? Because we believe that having a yearbook is truly important.

Our batch shared four long intimate years. Yet now we must part. Make new friends and live new lives. And what about old ones? Should they be left to fade away? Should they be nothing more than vague memories ten, twenty years from now?

No, definitely not. Our past deserves to be remembered and cherished for the rest of our lives. We went on making this yearbook with this purpose in mind, and we hope it will do just that for all of us. As for the effort and hard work and sacrifices, we don't really mind.

Finishing this yearbook is worth it. And so are the memories.
