Knoxville can hardly be described as a literary utopia, but there are a reasonable number of fine local writers in the East Tennessee area. It was the year's purpose to tap this supply. Although optimistic pre- dictions were formed, fate seemed to be against success this year. Several authors such as Wilma Dykeman and Don Whitehead were unavailable and their appearances were cancelled. However, Jon Perry and Scott Overall, this year's organizers, did manage to per- suade noted writer of fantasy, poet, literary biographer, and historical novelist Thomas Burnett Swann to speak. A recent winner of the coveted Hugo Award for the best work in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genre, Mr. Swann not only answered questions about writing in general, but also offered in- sights into education, the publishing busi- ness, and the Bible. Since a large number of his books were available in paperback, club members and guest Mr. Paddon came pre- pared for a lively discussion centering around the suggested book The Forest of Forever. The outlook for next year's club appears brighter, with some authors not ready this year appearing willing to speak then. if gm . . . the chai XE rmen 1 Q Quality, not Quantity, Marks Literary Club Sz Hexagon The members of the Hexagon staff have been working on and off all year. Unfortunately, The work has been more off than on. Meeting at odd hours and in odd places, the staff members labored fitfully during the year with Mr. Tidwell urging them on constantly. It is yet to be seen whether this issue of the Hexagon will be born or still-born. However, hopes are high. This issue will concern last year's Dauphin Island efforts. Included will be David Neill's report on Species Diversity of Fish, which placed third in the Southern Appalachian Science Fair. Other out- standing reports will be Fish Feeding Habits, by Charles Force, and A Study of the Currents at the East End of Dauphin Island, by Ginny Gibbons and Susan McMillan. This Hexagon will be notable because, for the first time, it will include reports from students outside of Webb School. ,af Hexagon Staff Editor-in-chief . . ....
