ot A Question? We’ve Got The Write Answer! In a truly Utopian society, the Cre¬ ative spark will have an outlet. Fortu- nately for Magnet, the many sparks attending classes have several such outlets: the Creative Writing and Yearbook classes, and the Journalism and The Writers Group programs. While it may seem an unlikely combination once one gets beyond the surface literary similarities, one in fact feeds the other. Through such in- novations as The Toast of Magnet talk show, the Writers Group News- letter, and the splinter letter, The Fac- ulty Oyster Cookbook, sponsors Rob- ert Trudeau and Mrs. Martha Boswell have succeeded in pushing their charges to create and innovate. ‘ JAYNAL1SM -Senior Jane Whittington, journalism mainstay, usually finds herself on the other side of the camera. SURPRISE, CLAIRE! Notoriously camera shy, newspaper advisor Mrs. Schoeder gets caught counting Utopia money; no wonder she s smiling! By the same token, journalism classes provide students with the strong, solid foundation necessary to properly execute an idea and bring it to fruition. By gaining a concrete background in reporting the facts, ali the facts, and nothing but the facts, one can move on to more elaborate and complex meanderings, or move up to the newspaper or yearbook staffs and write about Journalism and The Writers Group! AND NOW FOR MY NEXT TRICK. The Writers Group sponsor Robert Trudeau explains levitation to his Toast of Magnet audience. 58 •MAKinG TNE MARKS

Run For Your Lives! The Creatins But I heard them exclaim Over the third hour bell ' I can ' t wait for tomorrow We re tired of this .. well, vvork, of course. With those words C. Sledge ended Chapter One ' ' of the newly revitalized Creative Writing class. Mrs. Sledge ' s Christmas Greetin g more or less gives the non-initiated an idea of what goes on behind C-9 ' s second hour doors. Christened the Creatins on a recent class excursion to Arkansas, C. and her students have found the extension from one semester to two wonderful . The extra 18 weeks allowed the class to try new innovations. Mrs. Sledge has done an excellent job, said CW student Kim Harju. Other students echoed Kim ' s thoughts. She ' s taken a class that had an undesireable reputation, said Mi- chael Tucker, and turned it around. It ' s not just a class anymore. Indeed. Most of the class said theyTe friends outside of the room as well as inside. WeTe best friends ' said Erika Stacy. Perhaps that ' s why Sledge s 2nd hour was a winner. SEE? WE REALLY DO WORK! Concentrating on Creative Thought is a large part of the CW Experience. Really. LEAN ON ME. The Creatins here show theyTe there to pick one another up. CHOW TIME!!
