Torch: Marty Link. Steve Hefferman. Patsy Painter. Barbara Rogers, and Fain Rutherford. GET ON THE BALL WITH THE TORCH WRITE CREATIVELY ' 70 Magazine Features Art Photography was a new feature in the 1970 Torch Published in December and May, the magazine was comprised of prose, poetry, and art. A greater emphasis was placed on art than in past years. Sketches and designs were submitted from the art department for use in both the fall and spring editions. Editor Barbara Rogers, with assistance from Fain Rutherford, worked along with other Torch members to select the most interesting articles from those submitted. In order to represent all students, a variety of literary material was chosen from book critiques and analyses to haiku, a Japa- nese form of poetry which restricts its author to three lines totaling seventeen syllables. Along with Mrs. Evelyn Hayes, Torch sponsor, staff members sold theater tic- kets for the Paramount ' s Student Enrich- ment Series. Profits were used to publish the magazine. Looking through the magazine. Barbara Rogers and Kathy Romine discuss the art work to be included. 21
