The trash cans are overflowing. It's not the neatest of­ fice, but the product of the office never reflects it. • The room is the Petit Jean office and this is where our Harding yearbook comes from. Since the semester began last fall, Editor Sharon Bowles has averaged 70 hours of work a week in the Petit Jean office, with an exception to the past two weeks. Bowles claims that except for eating, attending church, and a little sleep, every hour of those two weeks has been spent to meet the deadline, which was Monday. Preparation for the 1988-89 Petit Jean began last spring when she originated the theme, Bowles said.
