Oaks- ioni, A Schlaeli Yearbook Stuff Western Theme Gallops Away with ' 68 Talon A enncpntrating Dcmna Schlucter ignores the bustle of yearbook staff w.iik tci complete a long-planned sports layout. Wild horses couldn ' t drag Talon secrets out of staffers. A simple rule like this was part of the beginning of the 1968 Western-themed Talon. In- dustriously, staffers went to work inspired by the en- chantment of the Wild West. Each section devised ways to tie the West into their section. Staff members wrote witty headlines, and the art staff sketched many different vignettes .symbolic of the West. Anytime a person walked into room 335 during sixth period, he saw headlines flying, lay-outs being torn up, .stories being cro.ssed out and captions re- jected. Every type of facial expression was encoun- tered: innocence at the beginning of the year; frus- tration and grim despair as the year progressed; and finally, joyful relief when the yearbook was finished. The whole .staff was .stimulated by the 1967 Talon, which won the first prize Edward A. Dick.son Memorial Award at UCLA ' earbook Day. Editor Susan Snider and Advisor Mr. Carl Green checked each page to see that everything was done properly. Every year I say. ' Never again!. ' com- mented Mr. Green. But then I see the fini.shcd book and know that the late hours and moments of frus- tration were worthwhile. 126

' Pony Express ' Aviation ' s JetStream In the Wrst the Pony Kxprcss brought the news laijidly to the attention of the citizens. At Avia- tion the modern Pony Express is JetStreayn, a bi- monthly accumulation of campus news. The new ad isor to the JetStream staff was Mr. Ken Proc- tor. Once a student at Aviation, he was also a member of the JetStream staff while he was on campus. Besides a new sponsor, there was an at- tem]Jt to produce the paper by off.set, but the staff returned to the traditional letterpress. But the paper wa.sn ' t traditional. It was carefully written, with much research and thought going into the final product. Every important event from games to science projects was covered by the newspaper staff. To make the paper even better the staff at- tempted to publish more opinions on important and pertinent campus topics. The .staff covered subjects from drugs to cafeteria food. Mr. Proctor, JetStream advisor, gazes thoughtfully while trying to solve one of the problems that Penny Krevenas brings to his desk.
