CLUBS 87
Students pursue interests in literature and debate.
The Calliope Review, Wilson's literary magazine,
devoted its Spring '77 issue to student and faculty
poetry. It served as a first forum to some forty
young poets on campus who had sharpened their
craft with Fred Johnson, Poet in Residence to Wil
son under the aegis of the Pennsylvania Council of
the Arts. Subsequent issues have remained princi
pally of poetry, but have featured also short fiction,
drama, and essays on literary topics. Student editors
are often contributors to the Calliope Review and
decide all major issues of publication and distribu
tion. The only requirement of the staff is excellence
in the craft of writing. The literary magazine staff
welcomes all types of fiction and traditional, as well
as experimental, poetry.
Once again, the 1976-77 school year was one of
improvement for the Wilson Debate and Forensics
club. The total number of students participating in
club activities grew to over thirty, while the club
expanded its activity to almost fifty tournaments.
They participated in the National Forensic League,
the National Catholic Forensic League, the Pennsyl
vania High School Speech League, and the South
eastern Pennsylvania Debate League. The club was
invited to participate in many collegiate and other
invitational tournaments. The varsity debate team
has finished third at St. Joseph's College, shared a
first place trophy at King's College, and has partici
pated in qualifying tournaments at both the state
and national level. Finally, the club was cited by the
National Forensic League with the Leading Chapter
