Talon staff enjoys new quarters in Room B-208 After fifteen years in a cloak room, the Talon finally received proper office space in Room B-208. The staff members more than welcomed the new room with its adequate light, ventilation, heat, and working space after the dark ages of the cloak room. Mr. R. Hegner, the adviser, used Talon funds to purchase desks, cabinets, and drapes to furnish the office and provide the staff with a proper work environment. With the extra office space the staff grew to a total of twenty-six people. As in past years, most editors attended a summer workshop preparing them for the year-long job of producing a yearbook. This year, editors attended workshops at the University of Iowa, the University of Wisconsin- Eau Clair, and the University of Illinois. They also visited the Root Photographers to observe the many aspects of picture processing. . xii '19 A 'if' . , GE .pgg Ei NE R. .aff , QS.. f --3- 'i -xml TALON EDITORS: L.

in 555 Falcon 's frankness aids its top journalistic style The Falcon informs students of what's happening in our school and society, said Mr. J. Stebbins, the adviser. One of the paper's biggest attributes was its frankness. Informing students and faculty of today's problems and occurrences in a frank, unbiased manner allowed them to see all sides of the situation. Discussion of child abuse and politics were two of the major issues in this year's papers. Mr. Stebbins sent top stories and layouts to Quill and Scroll, a national evaluation center, and the entire newspaper entered state competition at North- ern Illinois University. Morton's literary magazine, The Egg, had a total of twenty members. Selection and compila- tion of materials submitted by students oc- cupied the staff's year. The published Egg was sent to a critical service for judging. FALCON EDITORS-FRONT ROW: J. Stebbins, Adviserg J. Ambrosia, Edit. Ed.g B. Buckley, Art Ed.3 K. Sladek, Feat. Ed.g A. Filak, News Ed.
