MAKING ME “The people behind the scenes” best described the dedicated members of the Talon staff. With little credit or thanks, these students helped make the memories and happy times at John C. Calhoun Academy come alive in one small but treasured book. Before school opened, the staff members were hard at work selling ads and planning the start of a busy year. In July, the editors and a few members attended a yearbook workshop, sponsored by Josten’s, at Converse College. Unfortunately, yearbook advisor, Mrs. Hawes, could not join her staff due to the expected birth of her first bouncing boy, Tyler Hawes. Luckily, Miss Laura Spears volunteered to chaperone the girls on their four day trip. The nights of frustration, panic, exhaustion, and, of course, nightmares could never been seen by the outstanding outcome of the 1987 Talon. But each editor and photographer knew of the hard work and time that went into the yearbook. Although discouraged by their time limits, the photographers and the staff members kept on processing pictures, writing copy, and drawing layouts until the last deadline was completed. The yearbook editors included Melody McGinnis -— Editor- in-Chief, Debbie Powers — Sports, Allyson Haynes — Class- es, Kim Carter — Academics, Wendy Litchfield — Activities, and Emily Warren — Ads. Photographers were Amy Goehr- ing, Jamie Gahagan, Holly Roberts, and Renee Dennis. Busi- ness manager, Allison Nettles was stuck with the paper work. More Pictures! Unfortunately, there’s not enough pages for all of them. Mrs. Hawes and Melody McGinnis decide which ones to use. “How much does it cost?” — Allison Net- tles’ famous words. Allison and Mrs. Hawes try to work out the budget. V

PICTURE TAKING PEOPLE Being a photographer for the Talon took a lot of time and pa- tience. With deadlines to meet, they needed much dedication to keep all of the pictures straight. The photographers processed and printed All of their film and pictures. The pictures had to be ready for the editors very soon af- ter they were made. Holly Roberts develops pictures needed for the editors of the yearbook. Amy Goehring served as head photographer for the second year in a row. She gave up many after- noons and shed many tears over Amy and Holly discuss which pictures turned out the best. this major responsibility. When asked, Mrs. Hawes said that, “without Amy things wouldn’t have run as smoothly. I owe her a great big THANKS.” If it weren’t for the photogra- phers, there would be no pictures, therefore, no yearbook. Talon Staff Amy Goehring hangs the pictures up after just processing them. Jamie Gahagan washes all the necessary co tainers for developing the film.
