C'eue Invasion of the Orb Once a year the walls of King High abound with posters screaming the word Orb. What is an Orb, one might ask? It is the literary magazine of King High. Under the direction of sponsor Mrs. Kelly McWilliams and managing editor Tracy Torres, the 32 members worked diligently all year to produce a great magazine. By attending the many conventions and •workshops, one of which was held in New York, they gained many new and interest- ing ideas for their magazine. In February the school was invaded by candy, and once again, this was due to the Orb. All the money acquired was put towards conven- tions and contests. Students were asked for their literary and artistic contributions in the form of a contest. The winners were not only awarded prizes, but a spot in the magazine as well. All in all the staff s hard work and dedication paid off and once again an award winning magazine was produced.

Mrs. McWilliams and her staff take a well deserved break Beth Hcng glances over the nearly finished newspaper Nancy Morgan searches for a number, while Melissa Lott and Wendy Whitman read some new story ideas The Scepter, the school newspaper, informed students of all the news oc- curring both in and out of school. The spon- sor. Mrs. McWilliams, has a degree in jour- nalism and loves working with the students, helping to teach staffers better journalistic, sales, and photographic skills, as well as graphic design. Scepter staff members also learned self confidence and valuable public relations skills. Under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Joanna McCormick, the twenty-eight staff members plunged forward to print the news word These students were chosen by Mrs. McWilliams based on their writing ability, their interest in journalism, and recommendations from two of their teachers. Previously, the Scepter staff was award- ed an All Southern rating from SIPA and continued to strive for that award of ex- cellence with future issues.
