John C Calhoun High School - Talon Yearbook (Walterboro, SC)

After four days of fun and hard work, the group was tired and ready to return to the “’boro.” Next year, Mrs. Nettles is not returning to John C. as yearbook advisor. While she will be greatly missed, the staff must welcome its new advisor, Mrs. Dierdre Hawes. It was a tough job for any one to take but with patience, under- standing, dedication, and hard- work, the group will have another successful year and a terrific year- book. Photographers for the TALON cannot go unmentioned. They were always on call for last minute pictures. The three photographers were Glenn Beach, Rodney Cum- mings, and Randy Warren. Be- cause all three were seniors, an ex- tensive search for new photogra- phers was made during the year. Photography sessions were offered for students interested in filling the positions. The old photogra- phers conducted these sessions. (Top left) Randy Warren loads his camera for another hectic photo ses- sion. (Top right) Editor Allison Reeves carefully plans the ladder diagram.

During the summer of 1983, the TALON staff attended a yearbook camp at Converse College in Spar- tanburg. The camp was sponsored by Jostens Yearbook Company. While there, the staff went to class for various yearbook techniques. It was a four day workshop for staffers eager to learn more and broaden their yearbook knowl- edge. Mrs. Susan Nettles, advisor, was unable to attend, therefore, Mrs. Jane Sams and Mrs. Perry Buckner chaperoned the staff. Twelve TALON staff members at- tended the camp. At the end of the week, they competed in a layout competition. Thanks to the hard work of editor, Allison Reeves, the staff was awarded the trophy for the best layout of the entire cam: With this award came a thirty-five millimeter camera outfit which the photographers greatly appre- ciated. The group also participa: ed in skit night. The girls will nev- er forget the “jingle queens” afl two o’clock in the morning. The skit did not win first place, but the staff enjoyed participating for funJ Award-Winning Staff (Above) Melody McGinnis and KiKi Kin- (Top) The ’83-’84 TALON staff is proud to ard choose faculty pictures to use. win the top honors at camp.

Members of the staff were di- vided into sections to work under a specific editor. Everyone had her own job to do and things ran quite smoothly. Each knew exactly what was expected of her. Jack Young, Jostens representative to John C. was always willing to help with any unexpected problems that arose. His ideas and sugges- tions were appreciated throughout the year. Meetings were usually after school or during study halls. Mrs. Hawes served as an “at- school” advisor this year while learning about the function of the staff. Members were assigned to sec- tions under their editors who in- cluded Allison Reeves, Paige Grayson, Lesli Howell, Grace Ann Mitchell, Kim Moody, Cathy Sams, Marsha McGinnis, and Yvette Floyd.
