A Masterpiece of Creative Talents Amid the everyday hassles of writing, drawirig, printing, and general organizing, there was but one goal on the minds of all staff members — to assemble various crea- tive talents into North High ' s literary masterpiece Xanadu. This year, the formation of the Xanadu class helped in the magazine ' s production by eliminating all the little things which usually slowed down the staff. Sponsored by Mrs. Carole Shakely, the club provided an outlet for the creative expressions of the North High students. Not only did the magazine accept poetry and short stories, but also contributions of songs and car- toons. It also served as an exhibit of various artistic talents. Besides the production and sale of Xanadu, the staff engaged in many field trips. These included excursions to the parks for poetry sessions, visits to USC English classes, and sessions in Buddhism and yoga. Xanadu Staff-ROW 1-Michele Robinson, Dons Hensel.

Under the direction of Mr. Gerald Pendrlck. this group of over 85 talented Saxons demonstrated their acting abilities in various plays and musi- cales. Among the activities en- joyed by all were a get-together picnic at a local park in the fall. An all-school play in the spring, a large formal banquet and the ICC Carnival. The Drama Club play was IF THATS WHERE ITS AT. BABY. I ' M NOT GOING. The club had its share of awards and achievements in the form of initiation into the Thespian Society, troupe 1157.
