Maryann Duffy I felt the article was appropriate . . . To say the faculty is apathetic is unfair. Such comments were heard concern- ing the Tribal Tales ' editorial on teacher apathy. In a later issue of the paper, teachers were allowed to voice their opinions. Along with other staff mem- bers, co-editors Vicki Blevins and Barbara Easter discussed subjects ranging from college costs to dress codes in their editorials. Mrs. Joel B. Grimm aided the news- paper staff, composed of second year journalism students, in publishing four- teen editions of Tribal Tales. In addition to being purchased by the student body during the school day on Friday, these papers were exchanged with other schools throughout the United States. Ranking fourth in the state of Virginia, Tribal Tales received a superior rating in the Virginia High School League. The paper also was awarded first place by Columbia Scholastic Press and the Quill and Scroll International Award. 22

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
