NEWSPAPER And the Hoofbeat Goes On y Managing editor Beth Beckelhymer and editor Brett Hall look over a page dummy of the Hoofbeat before sending it to the publisher. The use of a pickup proved to be a great way of traveling for newspaper and annual mem- bers who went to Trinity University in Sep- tember for a day of workshops. VViiting is the key ability in any jouinalism class and the Hoofbeat is well supplied with its share of talent. Staff members leam how to improve their writing skills and techniques under the watchful eyes of Miss Chris Davis, spon- sor, and Hoofbeat editor, Brett Hall. Learning came from various sources besides classroom instructions. A trip to Trinity University in September started the year off, and while there, editor Brett Hall won first place in reporting. Miss Da is. accompanied by Brett and Sherry Lance, attended a November conference in . ustin on drug abuse. There it was discussed how the school newspapers might help curb the drug problem com- mon to most schools. Contests with University Interscholastic League heightened the staff ' s sense of competition. March 20 and 21 brought an Interscholastic League Press Confer- ence meeting attended by journalism stu- dents from across the state. The Austin meet centered on workshops and award presentations. Throughout the year, journalism students competed in the fields of feature writing, photography, and newswriting. Anticipation and a sense of fulfillment were felt each time another edition of Hoofbeat was published. Anything from horoscopes to general information, sports victories, or current topics which affect the students could be found in any edition.

LITERARY MAGAZINE Students ' Contributions Make Spoonful Successful The catchy idea of a creative magazine finally caught hold this year. Through the help of Mr. Rodney Davis, an idea which had been drifting around for some time, had its chance to materialize into reality. Even a change of sponsors in late No- vember did not hinder the second period creative writing class, which chose a com- mittee to publish King ' s first literary mag- azine. Under the skillful hands and minds of Roslyn Dawson, editor, and Ann Evans, assistant editor, the Spoonful had a more than successful year. Each month brought a new and even more exciting issue. The first edition, more or less an experiment, was mimeographed and sold at such a profit that it was decided the magazine was here to stay. Spoonful was filled with creative work ranging from poetry, short stories, and thoughts to art work. Material came from students who submitted their work to the creative writing class.
