The scheduling of enior pictures is quite a task since appointments must be made to overcome con– flicts. The lay-outs for the pages, which are done by the staff, include write-ups, captions and arrangement of pic– tures. Deadlines have to be met to assure completion at the specified time. After the pictures have been taken, they must be sorted out. The staff members select the pic– tures which will be used and crop them to fit the arrangement of the page.
