'Spectator' Staff Reviews Copg The nine member Spectator Staff, chosen at the beginning of the year by the sponsor, Miss Donna Fitz- gerald, received manuscripts for pub- lication in WJ 's annual literary mag- azine. The staff read, commented, and discussed papers with regard to originality, creative idea, and fresh- ness of expression. Spreading news of the school's activities to the outside world were Mimi Kahal and Jill Karro. These students, selected by Mrs. Evelyn Wittman, Pitch sponsor, contributed weekly to the two local newspapers, the Bethesda Tribune and the Mont- gomery County Sentinel.
