“Voices” you can see Each year students are given the opportunity to submit art and literary works to be considered for publication in the magazine, Voices. The Literary Club provides an outlet for those talents that have little chance to be recognized in the ordinary classroom. To encourage participation, contests are held for cover art, poetry, and short stories. This year the winners were: Poetry - Eugenia Algaze, Short Stories - Huong Ho, and Cover Art - Phu Phu. The staff has open membership with editors, Kyle McCreary, Stephanie Zimmerman, and Richard Hussenini, chosen by Julia Wrotenbery. She is also the club’s consultant on literature submitted, and Claire Hook is the advisor on art submitted. Voices welcomes the entire student body to participate and encourages all art and literature contributions. When Mrs. Wrotenbery was asked about the goals of the club she said, “We strive for qualityand broad representation.” by Misty Bogle Contest winners, Eugenia Algaze and Huong Ho with Sponsor Wrotenbery.
