The Bear Tales staff explains qualifications for student writing entries to a creative writing class The T a I es F osiers Creativity The Bear Tales, an annual anthology of creative writing submitted only by Blair High students, is published by a group of students who believe that creative writing talents should be acknowledged. This years staff, led by Mrs. Dorothy Wright, faculty sponsor, sought to find creative writing ma- terial in both the creative writing class and the ordinary classroom. The staff, composed of Cheryl Faust, Kim Reeh, Joan Rogert, Mary Allen, and Jane Nielsen, spent long hours proofreading and typing poetry, short stories and other types of entries. The highlight of the year for students and staff alike is the thrill of seeing an original collection come hot off the presses. Bear Tales Staff Seated, left to right: Kim Reeh. Joan Rogert.
