CREATIVE WRITING 'X TIMING WAS NEEDED IN RADIO SCRIPTS AND STAR MCKOWN SAID HER SCRIPT INTO THE RECORDER WHILE KENNY COOKE MONITORED. Creative Writing Opened Ave To Individual Self-expression The nucleus of the Literary Society was found in Mrs. Charlotte NaIl's creative writing class. The course was designed to give gifted students the op- portunity to express themselves and have their works published in the school magazine, OMNI. Future satirists, humorists, non-fiction, fiction, writers, and poets tested their skills and imagination during the hour class. Their critics were their class- mates and their final test was the publisher. The school's first literary magazine was edited and published by the class in order to give the entire stu- dent body the opportunity to have its work published. A majority of the material came from the creative writing independent study students who worked in- dividually in solitude on poems and short stories. In class, the student's interests were stimulated by records, group readings, and self-satisfaction. Creative writing offered students a chance to write humorously for Mrs. Charlotte Nalls. 32
