Mr. David Madden, instructor for the workshop, is a writer in residence at Louisiana State University who has written literary and film criticisms, stories and poems, and prize-winning plays.

Linda Smith Madden had conducted a workshop, and according to Miss Dorothy Hosford, sophomore and junior English teacher, the only reason is because of the high caliber of our students.

The purpose of the composer was to allow students to set their own copy instead of the printer doing it. Home economics also received some new equipment.
