Timpview High School - Talon Yearbook (Provo, UT)

THE BEST OF TINES It took three months to come up with a theme that would continue in the tradition of the previous books. The purpose of the theme was that it is always the best of times no matter where you are or what you are doing. The yearbook itself proved the best test for its own theme. Susan’s summer workshop showed great success and Nancy’s phone bill from Washington D.C. grew as the summer progressed. The first week of school brought excitement and an extremely large fight (editors against the world) about the opening section. After compromising on the conflict, the first deadline showed up. First deadlines are never a pretty sight but this one seemed worse, maybe because we were in charge. The next great crisis was the cover. Being conservative, the thought of orange nearly killed us. The answer showed up in a metal inlay that compensated for a burnt orange cover that we grew to like. The first debate tournament, of course . fell on a deadline. In utter panic we came at six a.m. and set the tradition of missing early morning Seminary. Fifteen hours later we finally went home, in the meantime setting two more traditions: late nights and missing the rest of our classes. After Christmas the staff began to set records for the most classes missed in the shortest period of time. More than once five o’clock brought Nancy’s dad and her ox (or debate whatcha-ma-call-it as Miss Peterson named it) heading to the post office as we discovered it didn’t close until a quarter after. Deadlines always brought out the most interesting in people. Susan discovered Night Owl. or is that white out? The all girl rubber cement party found new highs in creativity. Pizza and fermented apple cider became trademarks. The later it got the more people laughed and the dumber the captions became. Susan’s radio nearly died of exhaustion. The amount of work that went into this book was staggering, even to us who did it. Photographers who went to dances, printed until they couldn't see. and didn’t complain. Layout people who cut their fingers off. stayed late, and worked so hard. Copy writers who wrote and wrote and then re-wrote and then wrote again. Artists who saved the opening section and the photographers. No one knows the feelings, frustrations, work, and satisfaction that goes into a yearbook unless they do it. There have always been those who have been willing to stay late and come early to finish the book. To those we are eternally grateful. Little things became less important. A creative mess is better than tidy idleness even though it killed Susan off to see the office in such a mess. The bulletin board never did get a frame or any more pictures. Mr. Lindstrom also commented that the only picture he never did get was the yearbook editors. Grades were a problem but cooperative teachers allowed us to graduate. Between debate, half days. California. A.P. English and everything the staff had to do. we finished. There were crises, late production days, the threat of the book in June, late deadlines and then the good times (even if they were late at night.) Despite everything, or maybe because of it. this year has proven itself worthy of the theme The Best of Times. 243 EDITOR'S NOTE
