d.-,y ,, 2 , . 1 fv in it . fa 1 Sf-s qi THE FALCONEFI A LANDMAQK YEAR T he 1985-86 school year was a landmark one for the Torrey Pines Falconer. Despite the graduation of most newspaper officers, the new staff members more than adequately filled their shoes. Following in the footsteps of previous Falconer staffs is something they didn't do. The September Falconer issue featured a new banner and lypeset copy, to make the traditionally excellent writing easier to read. ln October, the entire Falconer staff made the trek to the state Joumalism Convention at San Jose. ln addition to attending numerous workshops, in an effort to leam the the techniques used on other school papers and apply them to the Falconer, selected ,Tai staff standouts in writing, layout, and photography competed. Despite competing against some of the best high school joumalists in the state, staffers Kathy Dreifuss won a second place award in the layout competition and Kristin Kammerer won a third place award in news writing. The first semester staff began a tradition of ex- cellence to guide those of second semester. ln an effort to alter and upgrade the quality of the paper, numerous changes were made second semester. Jeff Berend took over the helm as Editor-in- Chief, while first semester editor Chris Hamson be- came Assistant Editor. Other changes were made as capable cubbies from the beginning journalism ciass were integrated into the staff. The new staff decided upon the new banner and the horizontal layout that marked the second se- mester Falconer issues. After their successes in San Jose, the staff headed forthe National Journalism Convention in Tucson, Ar- izona. Between tough oom- petitions and informative workshops, the staff found time to fratemize with their journalistic peers from across the nation, ill. , -x , ,ll SECOND SEMESTER rookies Craig Matter, Kim Rible, Meredith Casai, Greta Pad, Susan Thomas, Jaime G-lasson, Mark Thomas, Chris Reavis, and Travis Scott joined the staff. .J .Q- i 'Ja 1.

STudenTs were noT merely inTer- esTed in school acTiviTies. They were ex- ciTed. One expIanaTion for This newfound spiriT was The cheerleading squad. Over The lasT several years, The cheerleaders had Taken on a casual aTTiTude. The sTudenTs, lacking The leader- ship and necessary spiriT, had also Taken on This aTTiTude. Changes were made concerning The squad. In August The squad parTicipaTed in a cheerleading camp aTThe UniversiTy of Califomia aT Los Angeles. ln compeTiTion aT The camp, The squad placed quiTe well. Then in SepTember, when The sTudenTs were greeTed by an enThusiasTic group of cheerleaders, inTeresT began To grow. People are generally followers, said one fooTball fan, 'you wanT To jump and yell, buT only if someone else does iT firsT. The cheerleaders of '85-'86 were quiTe willing To jump and yell. - Kerry Grochowiak VARSITY or-:EER 131
