Blade The Woodward Academy Blade is a bimonthly newspaper written oy Wood- ward students for the Academy commu- nity.

Each staff member worked harder and had more responsibility than in previous years. Also, new layout de- signs were introduced this year. Besides producing the newspaper, the Blade staff studied general journalistic style dur- ing their class 6th period. The senior editor wais Marya Nuss, and the junior editor was Alan Brown. Other staff positions included Melody Watts, news editor; Steve Smith, insights editor; Maria Meade and Leslie Upchurch, fea- tures editor; David Langford, editorial editor; and Stuart Smith, sports editor.

Phoenix This year ' s annual staff worked hard throughout the year to produce the 1981 Phoenix. In order to meet deadlines staff members not only worked during class time but also after school and on week- ends so that they could meet production deadlines. Contributing greatly to the book was Mr. Rusty Slider, the new Advisor for the Phoenix. His creative influence insured that the 1981 Phoenix was a success. Also, the editoral staff, composed of Don Allen, Editor, Lila Strother, Assistant Edi- tor, Mike Turner, Layout Editor, and Beth Hale, Copy Editor, worked to make the 1981 Phoenix an outstanding publica- tion.

Festival Chorale For Woodward students interested in choral music, being a member of the Fes- tival Chorale is the highest achievement they can attain. Through voice tests, Mr. Alan McClung, Director of the Chorale, chooses Upper School students who pos- sess exceptional ability in the vocal area. This year ' s Festival Chorale continued the tradition of excellence established in past years. In the Fall, they performed a backup with the pops singer Barry Mani- low on stage at the Omni. Also in the Fall, the chorale performed a concert with the composer Jean Berger. At Christmas time, the chorale held the third annual Madrigal dinner, an authentic medieval feast, in order to raise money for their summer concert tour. In the Spring, cho- rale members performed in the District V Choral Festival, and, as in the past, re- ceived a superior rating. The annual Spring Concert was another of the cho- rale ' s many activities. The hard work of chorale members throughout the year however, was directed at very unique goal: a summer concert in Europe. In June, chorale members travelled in Bel- gium, Holland, Germany, and France to present concerts in those countries. The 1980-81 succe ss of the chorale was due in part to its officers: President, Len Sa- vini; Vice-President, Burnie Berry; Secre- tary, Pam Wilson; and Deanna Nichols. These officers along with Kenneth Walk- er, Jipaum Askew, Martha Woodward, and Wiley Cain made up the chorale council which helps direct activities of the group.
