After quite a few set backs, the club finally came out with a profit after three days of hard work and stew stirring. One member was quoted as saying, . . . and to this day, my car STILL smells like that sorry Brunswick Stew.

Publications Golden Link Enthusiasm was overwhelming this year for the Golden Link staff, well, for a few loyal members any- way. The students who worked dur- ing classtime in Photo journalism, after school and on weekends to meet deadlines should be com- mended. The Golden Link had many difficulties making the final deadline because of weather con- ditions beyond their control. The publishing of the yearbook was new to a majority of the Staff, but with the aid of Melinda Smith, Editor, and Mr. Conner, sponsor, they made endless layouts, multi- tudes of pictures and pages of copy for the Golden Link. Monitor Off to a Slow Start Due to the local competition between newspapers, the Blue- stone ' s Monitor was slow in start- ing. After countless efforts by the club ' s sponsor, Mrs. Talley, the problem was solved with a mail-off company that does nothing but print school newspapers. This company is Hartco Inc. in Pennsyl- vania. The copies on the paper have decreased in size and the style is different also. New members of the paper staff now know what journalism is all about. Late hours and endless run- ning round to gather news articles has given the members the experi- ence needed to put out a better newspaper. Photo-Journalism Photo-Journalism is a new class at BSHS. With the aid of Mr. Con- ner, the class instructor, the stu- dents develop their skills in taking and printing pictures and work on various publications including the Golden Link, the Monitor, and an occasional page in the Sun entitled Baron Country . Mrs. Talley helps the fifth period class in proofread- ing and copy work. SECOND PERIOD PHOTO JOURNALISM CLASS: Frankie Reese, Andy Smith, Bob Smith, Debi Vaughan, Rhonda Nunn, Pete Mondragon, Susan Powell, Bev Chewning, Lisa Phillips, Sandra Harris, Kathy Jones, Joyce Winn, Phyllis Townes, Mark Thompson, Sheena Gentry, Dawn Edgerton.
