Long before students returned to Memorial, alon editors had begun to com- pile pictures and to work on new ideas. Yearbook work requires lots of organization and close supervision but a lot of it is fun-like working with the photographer. We try to include as many students in the pictures as possible lLaura Schooler, co-editori. A new technique was used for copy. To report on English classes, for example, a staffer composed thought questions, which were run off and distributed to several classes. Responses were used in the copy. This way the copy really belongs to the students and is less limited by a single staffer's viewpoint iConnie Smith, co-editorl. Talon gives the student a year to carry home with him-to keep foreverg any time he opens its cover, Talon will let him relive thousands of moments that are still alive in words and pictures tlvlrs. Wieman-Talon ad- viseri. Talon business staff spent the summer selling ads to local businesses. These, plus original jokes, Mark Butler cartoons, class will and senior favorites appeared in the student directory, the sale of which helped to fi- nance the yearbook. The student directory is a great way to keep up on school news and happenings, besides keeping up with homework and dating! tstaff memberl. Q If i pleted deadline over an ice cream cone.

It helped me get over my shyness, because I became so well acquainted with other people. It also taught me responsibility QTerry Allen, co-ed- itorj. lt helped me realize the role of the responsible journalist and made me think things out more be- fore coming to conclusions fBob Klein, co-editorj. What was it like to be editor? I have more work to do and more responsibility for mistakes but l love it! fTerry Allenj. We make deci- sions. l more or less managed the editorial page and enjoyed it fBob Kleinj. What was the purpose of Spy- glass? lt reports any school news that is fit to print and serves as the voice of the student. Hopefully, we'll make someone think ilvlrs. Mary Wieman, adviserj. If students don't like the paper, there's no reason to write it. The opinion poll reflects their ideas. And we've encouraged letters to the editors fTerry Allenj. People are free to write in letters although they don't take the oppor- tunity very often fBob Kleinj. Should a school paper try to lead the school toward solving its pro- blems or simply report facts? Spy- glass does have a significant role in policy changes fBob Kleinj. It should reflect objectively the many facets of MHS, the community and the world flVlrs. Wiemanj. l don't think a paper should lead people. High school students should be ma- ture enough to think for themselves QPaul Parkerj. What made our paper stand out when compared with others in schools of the same size? How was it outstanding? Answers ranged from M rs. Wieman makes it special, and The kids that write and put it together, to a good deal of spec- ial features, artwork and opinion polls? Concluded Terry Allen, The paper seems almost like a real person. lt has its own personality.
