LiTeralIy - a sTone, ring, or oTher obiecT wiTh sym- bols believed To have magical powers. As far as The sTudenTs were con- cerned, Talisman was The liTerary magazine and anoTher form of sTudenT publlcaTion. PrinTed enTirely in house, Talisman published works of creaTive wrlTlng sTu- denTs as well as oThers. l'By publishing The works of all sTudenTs, Talisman gave Them The opporTuniTy for Their creaTiviTy To flow, commenTed Elise Nye, ediTor. AlThough poeTry comprised The ma- jor parT of The publlcaTion, The creaiiv- lTy was noT limiTed To This form. Prose, skeTches, and phoTographs were also a parT of Talisman. AfTer large auanTiTies of works were submiTTed, The sTafT members began The long evaluaTion process based on five major paris: originaliTy, creaTiviTy, mechanics, uniTy, and meaning. l'Being The ediTor l had To noT only do my share of evaluaTing buT also To check over The oThers To make sure all of The maTerial was accepTable. l had To give up my lunch on cerTain days, buT in The end iT was well worTh iT, said l-leaTher Bricks, ediTor. ln The fall, Talisman sTudenTs were hosTs for The annual SICA liTerary mag- azine conference, held in The library. WheTher The sTudenTs knew The liTer- al meaning of Talisman or noT, The magic of The publlcailon Touched The lives of boTh The sTaTf and readers. l-leaiher Bricks, ediTor, Takes The Time To explain To Chris Enrico, Sabrina Flores, KeiTh Johnson, and Toni l-lemmons, sTaff members, The imporTance of criTical analysis.

T08 TimersfG-uards Double role served Split second precision needed 'il don'T wdni To go ini l'm afraid! l wanT my mommy! This was an example of a cry The guards had To deal wiTh while Teaching children, ages 5-43, how To swim in The summer program. 'iWhen The kids were upseT, They needed someone To Take Them aside and comforT Them. ThaT was where l came in. The exTra special aTTenTion was all They wanT- ed, sTaTed Tina Bona, head guard. The guards someTimes had Ten or more screaming kids per guard. Coach Phil Brown, direcTor of The pro- gram, Told The guards To be paTienT, and someTimes iT worked. During The year, mosT guard mem- bers were also Timers, who helped boTh The girls' and boys' swim Teams. WiTh The new rule ThaT There had To be Two Timers per lane or The meei would be forfeiied, The Timers were pressured To be ai every home meei and even To bring friends. Timers needed spliT-second preci- sion because in a close race iT could mean a TenTh of a second difference beiween firsi and second. BuT Timing was noT always a serious maTTer. l'Tim- ing had iTs advanTages such as meei- ing guys from The oTher Teams, and iTs disadvaniages such as geTTing splashed by The swimmers. lf you were going To Time you mighT as well bring a suiT and Take a swim, sTaTed Shane Boelcke, freshman. The change in rules for Timing and The lack of guards made The groups work closely TogeTher and effecTively. Q sly F Q f ui Q . r , -4 V gr .MQW dams.
