Most people do not realize the hard work and time that is put into the yearbook. It takes special peo- ple who have responsibility and patience to carry on such a job. This type of person could be found on the Talon Staff of 1985. In the summer, the members of the staff attended a Yearbook Camp at the University of Georgia. During the four days of camp, they took many courses on improving the yearbook which included learn- ing how to write better copy and how to design more advanced lay- outs. At the end of the week, they took part in a contest. Each staff at the camp had to make an eight- page miniature yearbook which in- cluded a cover, copy, captions, and pictures. The long hours of work paid off when the staff was award- ed a plaque for the best mini-year- book. The Talon Staff did exceptionally well this year, even though most of the members were new, including advisor Mrs. Hawes. Each member worked under an editor who was in charge of a certain section in the yearbook. Marsha McGinnis was the Editor-in-Chief. Section editors were Cathy Sams — Sports, Melo- dy McGinnis — Activities, Kim Moody — Faculty, Kristi Connelly — Classes, and Debbie Powers — Ads. Amy Goehring, Matthew Ad- dison, Duke Hipp, Jamie Gahagan, Holly Roberts, and Bud Williams were the photographers. The staff members included Sherrie Rizer, Mary Kate Dean, Kim Headden, Caroline Werntz, JoLynn Bennett, Allyson Haynes, Wendy Hiott, and Wendy Litchfield. Talon Staff 19
