Languages P ovide Entertainment The creative arts clubs help develop tal- ents in students which they will call on for the rest of their lives. The language clubs top off this list. The Spanish, French, and German clubs are interested in further in- vestigations of their respective studied areas. They sample foods and carry on in- depth conversations within each club. These clubs are designed for the intellectu- al learning in the interested students. The Creative Writing Club, under the leadership of Mrs. ldella Bodie, is interest- ed in improving the members' skills in- volved in writing. Club members put out the first literary magazine, Calliope, To F0 All raise money the club presented the Isn't He Lovely? contest in which boys com- peted for the title. This contest, which is a spoof of Beauty pageants, uses the boys' skills in a hilarious way. Some of the tal- ents were baton twirling, cheerleading, and miming. The club worked extremely hard, but was generously rewarded by their first magazine. The South Aiken Players, under the strong leadership of Mrs. Ann Casey, had a fascinating year. They participated in the Homecoming Parade and entered an imagi- native float. The students attended the State Drama Festival at Columbia College in November. They also produced a one act play, The Llgly Duckling. by A.A. Milne. However easy drama may seem, it is extremely challenging and exciting for many of our talented students. lt creates a challenge for our students to tap their real potential. This is the underlying cause for all cre- ative artsg it brings out the best in our students. Five of the contestants from the lsn't He Lovely? contest, sponsored by the Creative Writing Club, practice their talent for Karen Baker and Lori Braun. ,fi.B-Wt 'M t i FTM -semi' .sv Clubsfl57
