PALLADIAN Creative Collections Creativity is very valuable. Without it the world would be a boring, unchanging place. Life would lose imagi- nation. Above all, Ypsi would be without the Palla- dian. The Palladian is a book- magazine of creative writ- ing and artwork submitted by students. The Advisor, Mrs. Griffin, and Editor Kelly Davis worked with the Palla- dian staff to publish three is- sues this year, fall, winter, and spring. The staff ac- Tina Roe and Shannon Slider know that in order to compete with other publications you must first get a look at the competition Mrs. Griffin often provides other samples of student media so that staff members can pick up style techniques and new topics cepted all creative work from the student body and worked with it to produce a finished copy. After each is- sue is published, they are sold throughout the school. The original Palladian was introduced at the old high school, but was dropped for a few years. It was revised in the fall of 1983 and has flour- ished since. Not only did the number of entries grow, but subscriptions and sales prac- tically doubled. While the staff works on the next issue, Pat O'Neil, Kelly Davis, and Scott Owens discuss some graphi- cal ideas in a magazine Front Row Terry Slaughter, Becky McCarter, Tina Roe, Shannon Slider, Mrs. Carol Griffin.

The club is not only for stu- dents interested in acting but the technical aspects of the theater as well. Drama Club members love the the- ater. This year’s Drama Club, of about 10 members, was al- most half the size as last year’s. Because the club was small, the students in the group became much closer than a larger group would have. “We're proud that the club is small,”” said Regina Farris, President of the club. “It’s not that we're snobs and don’t like people. It’s more fun with fewer peo- ple.” This year the Drama Club sponsored a drama letter. To earn a letter a student had to be active in high school performing arts. The letter showed that the per- son who earned it obtained 45 points. One point was worth ten hours of work. Many Drama Club mem- bers will Dursue drama in col- lege and maybe even as a career. For those members that believe the show doesn’t end after high school, Drama Club will have been a tremendous help to their life in theater CLUBS 29
