The Talon was nearly extinct after last year. New Advisor George Wright brought a new concept, new energy, and a new staff. The first change was to make the Talon a week- ly. The small budget was augmented by sponsors from the community to help solve the money problems. The staff wanted to make the paper more controversial - and they succeeded. The letter from the girl who thought she should have been nominated at Homecoming caused quite a stir. Then, there was the back and forth exchange about what girls expect and so forth and so on.
