The Literary Club was under the direction of a new sponsor this year, Mrs. Brenda Bradley. The Literary Club met early in the school year to elect officers and make plans for a busy year. The purpose of the Literary Club is to explore cultural ideas such as reading and discussing literature, attending the theater and visiting museums. For one field trip, the members visited several museums in Fort Worth and ended the day by eating out. The club also had several meetings before school so the members could share reading experiences or personal writing. Poetry is a favorite literary form of many of the members so there is always an original poem available for reading. wp Stavens wrote a poem about the football team that became Mite of everyone. The Literary Club provided many cultural opportunities for its members. Officers Q Left to Right: V.P. Y Eddie Bills, Secretary Y Stephanie Reid, and President f Stacey Everett.
