VENTURE The Venture, produced by Journalism I and II students, plays an important part in school activities. Basically the two staffs, features and news, combined to publish six issues annually. The organization of an efficiently operating staff, however, was the main emphasis of the year. Contracts had to be made, deadlines met, and ads and subscriptions sold. In their zeal to sell ads, staff members oversold their quota. It was rather embarrassing for the advertising manager to call local merchants and ask them to retract their ads. Amy Sikes, Frances Ferger, and Kathy White draw up the Venture mascot. Barbara Alper, Harriet Bradshaw, Amanda Johnson, and Linda Leeds get ideas from past newspapers.

AD RNALREEOARIS gh 18: Kathi Lowrimore entertains some club members with one of her humorous poems. Miss Shaw reviews a story written by a club member. Kathi Beall explains to Linda Moore and Faye Dunn how to use figures of speech in their creative writing. SCRIBBLE AND QUIBBLE The Scribble and Quibble club does exactly what the name suggests. They scribble and then quibble over what has been scribbled. The purpose of the club is to create an awareness of writers and writing. The club celebrated Christmas with a Yuletide party. Later in the year, they enjoyed a play dramatized for them by a drama class. In the spring, the Scribble and Quibble Club had an April Fool’s Tea for the teachers. The “deserving” teachers were given prizes. 75
