In these days of plastic, vi·nyl, and
artificial flavorings, it is refreshing A New Version of an Old Concept
to those lovers of bygone days to re-
member the way things used to be.
The Senior Literary Magazine,
SPLITRAILS II, has atte1npted to
bring back some of that down home
purity we once knew. Such festivities
as folk festivals, craft shows, quilting
bees, and yes, even hog killings were
attended by members of the Splitrails
staff to experience and in tt~rn to
write.
Contributions of literary works were
taken f rom various students from
Columbia High. These cont1·ibutions
plus over time from a handfull of
staff members combined to make this
magazine possible.

The purpose of our theme was to
bring back the dying arts of yester-
day and show how they stand in
todays world. Interviews from older
citizens of the city helped us in many
ways to achieve this purpose. Hope-
fully the theme was a success.
