The final draft of the creative writing course was written l Mrs Joan Schulz last summer Karls in 1967. the course was approved l the Studs Committee and the School Hoard as a full-year elective available to all students who had an V or H average in Knglish. The three sections of the class divided their efforts among the fields of poetry, short story , drama. | ersonal essay, and spcciali xtl forms of individual choice. Students also made descriptive or narrative journal entries each week to obtain e | ericnce in fulfilling one of the goals set forth in the course description, to show imaginatively rather than tell expositorily.” Other class activities included reading, criticizing, and Sometimes tentatively grading each others’ com| ositions. Still another unusual aspect of the class was its small size The average numl cr of students in each section was only nineteen, which made seminars and other individual activities possible. Interested students, many of them members of the creative writing classes, were involved in the pnxluction of Edina s literary-magazine. Although Images on the Wind was an extracurricular activity, also advised by Mrs. Schulz, many staff mem tiers obtained valuable editing experience in this area of writing.
