' I E. if S1 4 c E r I ii KNEE r E Do you like to spend your spare tirne writing poems, sketches or short stories? If you do, the GATEWAY, Coker's literary magazine, offers you an opportunity for the expression of your creative talents. In 1956 the first edi- tion of the Gateway was published. Since then it has been edited once each year and frequent- ly two and three times. In recent years the Gateway had been dis- tributed in the spring. Until the day of its arrival, the girls at Coker wait anxiously to discover the some- times hidden talents of their friends. The best works of Coker students are collected and presented so that everyone can enjoy them. Awards are given for the most outstanding student literary contribution. Sally Gandy, our editor, did an excellent job. Sally and her assistant editor had the task of reading and re-reading the many outstanding articles that were sub- mitted. To them was delegated the difiicult task of de- ciding which of these articles were the best, since only a limited number could be published. After these diiii- cult decisions had been made, the layout was planned. Once this was done, Mary Ann Wicklide, the art editor had to plan appropriate illustrations. When the final layout was finished, the typist fought to meet the deadline. A cover was chosen and the proof sheets corrected. At last it was in the hands of the publisher. As a finished product, the Gateway represents not only the work of the advisers and staii, but creative effort and hard work on the part of the students. Withotit the talents of the students, there would be no Gateway. A staff can rearrange the articles and plan the layout, but in the final analysis the result is a tangible proof of the beauty that lies within the stu- dents themselves.

A familiar event on the Coker Campus is the bi- monthly Thursday night meeting of SIGMA TAU DELTA's Pi Gamma chapter. Students desiring to foster a new interest in literature and creative writing gather after supper for informal and enlightening pro- grams conducted under the sponsorship of Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Sisson and Dr. French Haynes. The program for regular meetings varies from the reading of material written by members to the dis- cussion and analysis of great literary works. Sincerity, Truth and Design, the motto of this English fraternity, is carried out in the original writ- ings of each member. The club's activities began this year with the im- pressive initiation services for the new members. This was followed by some horseplay supplied indirectly by William Shakespeare. The Sisson's Christmas party this year was some- thing special. Dr. Sisson administered the annual ritual of the Christmas cookie while the tiny revolving angels tinkled a delicate mes- sage of good cheer. Out- side, Mother Nature had frosted the land with a generous icing of snow. Coker's literary fes- tival was a highlight of the year. Guest speaker, Margaret Webster, not- ed director and actress of Shakespearean drama, presented to Co- ker students and guests her experiences in the field of drama and a realistic picture of Shakespeare and his works. The national magazine The Rectangle has pub- lished a great deal of work submitted by merr1b61'S from the Coker chapter.
