And Now.. hopticon had always been a relatively small school, but even with only approximately 1200 students there was always plen- ty of news to be read. The newspaper staff was the one to write it. With a group of 13 members the ICON was put out each month, even though we went through several editor changes. One big plus to the staff was the new word processor. The IBM Display Writer made it much easier and more efficient to write and typeset copy, and keep data and stories together. Also part of the ICON was the Literary Magazine. With Jayna Barber as editor in chief, students submitted poetry, artwork, and photographs. Mr. Pence, advisor of both ICON and Literary Magazine said, “The Literary Magazine allows students to be serious about their poetry and gives students a chance to develop their public voices.” You see Mark, when it starts to make those noises, you know it’s ready. Mr. Pence, Icon ad- visor, shows Mark Blakely how to use the new word processor Don't look now! Stephanie Butler and Michelle Thompson plan to surprise Lisa Woods before Icon group pictures are taken. Icon Staff - Lucy St. Clair, Stephanie Butler, Kim Shewbridge. Michelle Thompson, Lisa Woods.
