Susan Lathrop, Lisa Gibbons, Ellen Israel, and Veronica Hinton discuss ideas. Once upon a literary magazine . There was a time when people came to a magic room and sat in a magic circle and read music, and the sour notes were thrown out and the clear notes became a magazine. In reality, our literary magazine was produced by eight students, who, meeting every Thursday during the Activity Period under the guidance of Sponsor Tony Wagner, reviewed work submitted during each week. Entries consisting of short stories, essays, poet- ry, drawings, and photographs, were collected from large envelopes located in the library and various English rooms. Staff members edited the sub- missions, contributed comments, criti- cisms, and ideas to discussions, and, finally, decided upon which works of l art were to be used. Designed to re- l flect the creativity of our students here, the literary magazine was a suc- cessful publication. Below: Ellen Israel, Veronica Hinton I The Literary Magazine Staff. Sitting: S.

Tricks with trumps triumph A Our Bridge Club, which was direc- ted by lVlr. Jack Stout, our resident bridge master emeritus, provided time where students were able to engage in the intellectually stimulating game of bridge and meet .similarly inclined stu- dents. Meeting every Tuesday and Thursday during Activity Period, our club allowed aspiring beginners and experts alike to test their bidding systems and to exercise the skills of playing bridge. Although we didn't have many experts, our few members were faithful to the end and even hoped to challenge some teachers here in theynear future.

Spring. Often vvorking until midnight, the staff produced the type of avvard-winning journalism that the Pitch has been proud of for years. This year, however, things did change. In order to increase student interest in the paper, the staff concentrated on affairs that directly affected the stu- dents, while still retaining the balance of coverage necessary for a good pa- per. As Editor-in-chief Jonathan Brit- ten stated, We hope we have accom- plished this. 'K , . i xi-2 ik - -LLL ,.-:,, ,A KWWL ' -: L 'l S. - iii. ,. ,. -- W -L.-1 L H , I I
