Form and Style

This Web site is powered by Lunar Pages Web hosting and utilizes Microsoft FrontPage software. Consequently, any input from classmates is preferred in Microsoft compatible format, but most Macintosh input will work. If all else fails, everyone should be able to provide internet standard HTML format for any inputs. If all the above was unintelligible to you, don’t worry about it. These things usually take care of themselves or can be cleared up with a telephone call or a letter.

The Web site has been designed with ease of use as the highest priority. Each page provides a quick link (just click on the button) to the Web site’s Home page with its links to the major features of the site, making it easy to navigate from one topic to the other. If you find a link that doesn’t take you where it’s supposed to go or just doesn’t work, please let us know so we can fix it.

Since we are desperate for input from classmates, we will take your inputs in any form we can get them. However, to the best of our (the Web site staff) ability, we will utilize standard (American) English as defined by Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. Grammatical rules will try to follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition. If our departure from these standards is egregious, notify the Web site staff so we can fix it. We want to reflect favorably on what most classmates look-on as a first-rate high school education—certainly by today’s standards.

As you have probably noted already, a decision has been made to use the editorial "we" throughout the Web site. This is a matter of convenience, since it is difficult to write around not using it and because the material could be prepared by any of the staff—no bylines. We hope this doesn’t offend any journalistic purists.
