Creative Endeavors Artists express their styles in numerous ways through a vari- ety of outlets. Whether created with pencils or paints, written or performed, a select few students have the capabilities to cultivate their talents in these fashions. A trio of clubs high- light just such creativity - the Art Club, Writer's Guild and Drama Club. For those individuals with scheduled Art classes and others who hold a keen interest in the subject, the Art Club was an ideal organization. Their masterpieces appeared on display year-around, in the form of originally designed posters and banners that kept hallways alive with vibrant color. At various meetings, skills were enhanced when com- munity artists gave demon- strations on improving tech- nique. This revision allowed members, along with the admin- istration and athletic depart- ment, to transform the gym into a Court fit for a Queen. Art Club participants enhanced the beauty of the Christmas Court nominees with their festive dec- orations. The visual spectrum was focused upon by another Jine Arts club this year. The Writer's Guild selected Colors of the Rainbow as the theme for the literary magazine, Primings. Their publication reached the presses, due largely in part to an M8zM's fundraiser. Members visited each English class pro- moting Creative Writing Week and encouraging students to submit poems, short stories and essays to the magazine. Rewarded for their achieve- ments, these literary en- thusiasts ventured to Asheville, touring author Thomas WoUfe's home and enjoying the mountain scenery. Another beneficial excursion occured on the High Point College campus, home of the Phoenix Festival.

With success comes celebra- tion, and the Drama Club was not overlooked by any means. More Vikings than ever before participated during produc- tions, as the population growth divided Dramatics classes into groups of Advanced and Hrst year students. The actors and actresses worked separately on three diferent plays, then com- bined their efforts into one ac- tion-packed show entitled Bogus-Bonanza. Several ex- perienced and talented students were also selected to represent Northwest in the North Car- olina Theater Contest at N.C. A8zT State University, achiev- ing second place. Each of these clubs proved that their endeavors, though separate , were equal in creativ- ity. After all, actions speak much louder than words. w w 4 Lewis Story's extra-sensory per- ceptions are accurate during his por- trayal of a fortune teller in the play Eden, 5 if w S 5

N XPEP The N Club, Pep Club, and The Fellowship of Christian Athletes were three of the biggest and most active clubs at North- west. The Pep Club was composed of students whose job was to promote school spirit. The Pep Club members under the ad- visement of Ms. Smith worked hard making posters and ban- ners to support Viking spirit and athletes. Students who lettered in Var- sity sponfs were the students who made up the N Club. This club was involved with White Christmas and they helped with the fall and spring banquets. Ms. Sikes was the adviser of The Fellowship of Christian Athletes. This club met every other Monday. During their meetings students discussed friends, pressures, and their re- lationships with God. FCA had a fund raiser to collect money for their end of the year beach trip. They also went to High Point-A ndrews to listen to guest speakers. .M
