eeking through the windows of room B- 1 , the scene reminded me of a colony of bees with everyone rushing around trying to meet the deadline. Opening the door, I felt the cool air from the air conditioner blowing around my head. Not know- ing where to start, I headed for the first person I saw, the advisor. Under the direction of Debbie Foglietta the Tal- on put out an issue every two weeks. Our goal is to produce the best newspaper R.H.S. has ever seen, exclaimed Mary Ann Clomera, co-editor in chief. Meeting their deadlines was an important goal for everyone. What if the deadline wasn ' t met? When they aren ' t met, death soon may be! Deadlines are a serious responsibility! declared Can Erler. If deadlines were the worst part about being on staff, what was the best part? You have a feeling of having accomplished something, explained Tina Doohaluk. Now I see. I thought as I walked out the door, their words still echoing through my mind. What they want to do is to inform and entertain the students, and to supply information with some style. concluded Jana Mahoney. t

Agricultural Aspects What ' s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the initials F.F.A. (Fu- ture Farmers of America.)? How about a bunch of kids feeding critters behind a school? Well, there ' s a lot more behind being in F.F.A. than that. Judy Byers explains one advantage, I really feel like I ' ve accomplished something when one of my animals places. It makes all the time spent taking care of the critter worth- while. There were several smaller groups within F.F.A. that members could take advantage of. One of them was the Parli Pro (Parliamentary Procedure) team. There were three levels: section, re- gion, and state. After the state level, competitors went to Fresno State Uni- versity to complete against thirteen teams from seven California regions. One of the reguirements for F.F.A. membership was enrollment in an agri- culture class. I joined F.F.A. because I wanted to show animals, judge at con- tests, and learn Parli Pro, commented Melissa Flory. Animals were only one aspect of F.F.A. There was also landscaping and judging. To judge, you had to tell whether the animal was in good shape or not. Student judges were rated by authorities. Now there were many clubs on cam- pus, but it took a teacher to make the club special. F.F.A. is like one big fam- ily, we all get along real well. It wouldn ' t be the same without our teacher, Mr. Lesh. He ' s really a great person, con- cluded Byers. rH£!JWers to r eers. 1 Get ting his sheen in I- Carefully co ii t Mr. Lesh helps Dan P I « some w £ M L Z°t B , Hul ™» ■ h W 3S the FFA a dvisor ffa O I
