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.

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.

The War hawk Staff consisted of juniors and seniors who showed an interest in journalism. The paper was an excellent means of commu- nication among the entire student body. It gave the students a chance to voice their opinions ibrough articles which appeared in the paper. Freedom of the press was sometimes taken for granted before, but students realized how important this personal freedom was. Being able to express one’s own views gave students a feeling of pride. After seeing the finished products, members of the staff felt a sense of accomplishment. Because of increased expenses, THE WARHAWK was published only twice this year — once each semester. To supplement these is- sues, THE SHRIEKER was print- ed every other month. THE SHRIEKER, printed on its fam- ous blue paper, contained campus happenings, school news, and in- formation. It was a condensed ver- sion of THE WARHAWK. Spon- sors bought ads for the small is- sues of THE SHRIEKER. Freedom Of The Press (Above) Mrs. Blocker and staff are proud of their work!
