Accord- ing to Webster's, a talisman is a good-luck charm, but at Thornridge the Talisman is a collection ot poems, short sto- ries, sketches, and photo- graphs. The Talisman stall edited the works submitted to them by other students, and then chose the best writings, sketch es, and photographs to be in their book. 'llt was hard choos- ing the best works because some ot them were our own, stated Beth Fromer.

'Q' s is ,an in P! I-' 416 A 'xv MOH? Yearbook was not just an- other class, 21 staff members proved it was not an easy cred- it. There were many steps to be taken before the yearbook could be completed. The first step was deciding on a theme. A Silver Lining was an ap- propriate theme as the school celebrated its 25th year. Twen- ty-five years ago, the first copy was written, the first pictures were cropped, the first layout was completed, and the first cutlines were written. Twenty- five years later, copy writing and picture cropping were still the prime factors. Editors Claudia Macias, Nancy Spindler, and Lisa Dewey attended a 5-day Left: Before cropping, Nancy Spindler, layout editor, measures each picture to the pica.

Camp was great because we had no ex- perience before we went, and we came home actually feeling confident about facing the staff, stated Nancy and Lisa. The staff was on a non-stop pace from September to May to get the yearbook distributed before the close of school. I took the class as an easy credit break in my regular schedule. As it turned out, it was one of my most pressured classes, stated Vickie Kunst. Trying to capture a year's worth of memories with photos and copy was not an easy job as the staff worked to live up to the Piper's reputation of ex- cellence.
