Prose, Poetry, And A Panorama OfArt Fill Pages Of Signature Reading student manuscripts, select- ing just the right photograph or piece of art work to portray an idea, design- ing a distinctive cover, and deciding on an appropriate layout were just a few of the tasks Signature editors and staff members faced and fulfilled to produce the Sumter High literary magazine. Contributors revealed their inward meditations in compositions of poetry, short stories, and essays. These com- positions and art works were reviewed by the Editorial Board and any plagia- rized work or substandard paper was discarded. Early spring found editors working long hours at the home of their adviser, Mr. Locklear in order to meet their April deadline. Z2 be ff tt K . 104 Organizations .L

Write-ups on teenage marriages and pregnancies, legalization of marijuana, vandalism of school property, and stu- dent rights sparked vigorous student reactions expressed in letters to the editor. The sports page, with its accu- rate coverage, descriptive copy, and action-packed pictures, was the page most Cock's Quill readers turned to first. Striving to meet deadlines, editors were confronted with a lack of interest among staff members which resulted in fewer published papers. Organizations T03
