This year the format of CA's literary publication underwent a small change. It was published tri-annually rather than bi-annually as in previous years. Between pages of the best literary efforts from the entire student body were reproductions directly from the creations of the student artists. Its purpose is to create a more serious attitude concerning literature and to make publication as select as possible. Creative Writing Center: Mr. Manos QAdvisorJ. Left to Right: R. Baldwin, J. Kerr, J. Galvin, B. Wheeler, T. Headley, S. Christian. A creative writing course directed by Mr. John Manos was formed this year with the purpose of making the students more conscious of their language and aware of its creative usage. In Creative Writing each person learned how to express his ideas in writing by being exposed to different forms of literature. The group wrote poems, plays and short stories. The work of each individual was discussed and criticized by the students themselves. This exposure to different literary genres and the exchange of ideas in criticism provided the stimulating atmosphere which made this a pro- ductive and fruitful year for Creative Writing. 55
