L ' ESPRIT, French for the spirit ' caught on at Callaway as the staff and studentbody combined in purchasing 797 annuals. The Spirit began early for the L ' ESPRIT members when editor Vicki Watkins held workshop sessions where new members learned to draw layouts, write copy, and crop pictures.

In the spring, the staff provided a coke and annual- signing party for the seniors as a result of class competition. For the fourth consecutive year, Mrs. Allman spon- sored the L ' ESPRIT. THE THUNDERBOLT, Callaway ' s own newspaper, kept the student body up to date with events and ac- tivities. Mary Weiss worked as editor, while Mrs. White served as sponsor for the second year. THE THUNDER- BOLT captured twelve awards in journalism com- petition sponsored by the Mississippi Scholastic Press Association and re- ceived three superiors for general excellence, editor- ials, and sports. The staff printed eight, eight page issues at the cost of $230 each. Three hundred fifty subscriptions along with ads for each issue pro- vided the primary financial support, with aid from the 400 single copies sold with each printing. 66 L ' Esprit, T ' bolt

NUMBERS, GAMES, AND MONEY, ADD UP Power works with ease; weakness frets con- tinuously. What impor- tance did this statement have in the past year? Could it have been the battle cry of a chess champion or perhaps a proverb someone submitted to the POSTSCRIPT? No. This saying was the motto for the Callaway branch of DECA (Distributive Educa- tion Clubs of America). The members of DECA con- sisted of students from Ms. McDaniel ' s Sales and Marketing classes who wanted to join. Competing on local, state, and na- tional levels kept Calla- way ' s DECA busy through- out the year. To send representatives to the conventions at which com- petition took place, DECA members raised money by selling candy. Their major charity project for the year involved the collection and distribution of toys to orphanages. DECA OFFICERS. FRONT ROW: Monique Miller, Treas.; Lisa Currie, Pari. BACK ROW: Pam Cain, Pres.; Ronnie McQultta, V. Pres.; Kellie Clinton, Sec. STALEMATE. Tommy Freeman searches for that one crucial move to defeat Jim Townsend. The Chess Club pro- vided a haven for those in- terested in the classic game of strategy. Mr. Jones opened up the mem- bership roll in late October for experienced players and again in the middle of the year for those who wanted to learn. With intense com- petition on all levels, members found that the club fulfilled their hopes. Co-edited by Phyllis Robinson and Carol Crel- lin, the POSTSCRIPT contained literary work from the student body. To obtain more of a response they sponsored a creative writing contest. First place received $25.00, second place received $15.00, and third, $10.00. Mrs. Cotton sponsored the POSTSCRIPT. 68 DECA, Chess Club, Postscript
