This year many improvements were made in the areas of layout, selection, and publication, and this enhanced the magazine, providing a far more cohesive final product.

Forum faces issues Co-chairpersons: Maria Eggemeyer Jeff Kling Secretary: Ellen Lieberman Treasurer: Chris Maxson Representatives: Richard Donaldson Mike Hatfield Grier Arthur Amy Schachtman Tyler Philips Eric Feinberg Faculty: Bill Sherfey Arturo Steely Norma Thomson Ilona Rouda Dan Danielson The 1987-88 Upper School Forum was chaired by Jeff Kling and Maria Eggemeyer. The group of five faculty members and nine students met weekly to discuss issues concerning the Upper School community. The Forum was especially effective in its crackdown on clubs which forced them to be more active. Also, Forum established the B.E.A.R. club which helped improve the atmosphere of the school during construction. A major Forum project was planning a program to provide Blake students with volunteer opportunities. 1 Jeff Kling explains the Forum caucus procedure to freshman representative Tyler Phillips. 2 Norma Thomson and John Stander show interest in the topic of the Thursday morning Forum meeting 3 When Jeff Kling speaks, everyone listens. 22 — Forum
