Pierion Spring Sponsors Literary Contest In past years, the Pierian Spring, the school's literary magazine, has been the work of relatively few students, due either to lack of expression or lack of interest. This year, the editorial board headed by co-editors Katherine Talley and Glenn Radovich, decided to encourage interest among the students in contributing to the magazine by sponsoring a contest in both the upper and lower schools, with prizes given in the divisions of art, prose, and poetry. More students became actively aware of the magazine, and the result was an impressive number of articles, and the recognition of previously unnoticed talent. The winners of the contest were: Prose: first, Jane Rayson, second, Ernest Weeks, and third, Andy Goodwin. In Poetry: Mackie Neblett, first, Diantha Daniels, second. In Art: Bobby Rodgers, first, Bailey Sharp, second, and Ricky Dover, third. Glenn Radovich explains the contest in the Boy's School Chapel Pierian Spring Editorial Board: Beth Rader, Scott Southworth, Co-editor Glenn Radovich, Susie Frere, Gail Collmann, Co-editor Katherine Talley, Dick Hickman, and Becky Greene.

Although the changes in activity periods caused problems at the beginning of the year, these difficulties were counterbalanced by an increased student body, which showed a greater participation in Webb's chorus among the eighth through twelfth grades. The Glee Club presented several programs, in chapel, for the Senior Recognition Tea, and a new experience for all of its members was an appearance on television at Christmas with other area high schools in a program of carols. The selections presented throughout the year included classical, religious, and folk music, as well as show tunes and movie themes. A few of this year's favorites were The Impossible Dream, from Man of La Mancha, Exodus,,' and Zingarelli's f'Go Not Far From Me. 38

Conference Editorial Board: Seated: Carleigh Hoff and Jim Kennedy, co-editorsg Standing: Bobby McCallie, business manager, Susan Shepherd, exchange editorg Paul Van Wie, sports editorg Dick Hickman, feature editorg Scott Southworth, news editor. For the first time, the school newspaper, the Spartan Spirit, entered the Southern lnterscholastic Press Association conference at Washington and Lee University. In early April, Mr. William J. Tadler, advisor to the paper, Jim Kennedy, co-editor, Joe Tidwell, and Dean Deeds traveled to Lexington, Virginia for the conference. Receiving an honors'l award for the paper, they learned of many new ideas for next yearls staff. The Spartan Spirit also received an Excellent', ratingfrom the Tennessee High School Press Associa- tion, an award which was earned for the second year in a row. Under Mr. Tadler, Jim Kennedy and Carleigh Hoff, the other co-editor, organized and efficiently working editorial board at the beginning of the year. News editor Scott Southworth, feature editor Dick Hickman, and sports editor Paul Van Wie were largely responsible for the well-written stories appearing on their respec- tive pages. Business manager Bobby McCallie, and exchange editor Susan Shepherd took care of the financial aspects of the paper. The newspaper, itself, was improved in many ways this year. Three six-page issues answered the need for increased news coverage, and pictorial essays on the Science Club field trip and the AFS Carnival provided an interesting sidelight. Carleigh Hoff's column, 'tToday,', as well as articles on Summer in France, the Junior Class Retreat, Webb School of Bell Buckle, poet John Beecher, and g'The Graduateu were printed. Guest editorials and Letters to the Editor made for increased student participation. Photographers Dean Deeds and Charles White provided excellent sports coverage, as all athletic events were covered well.
