The entire student body wore black tops, and in the tradition of coffeehouses, when students exited the stage area, they snapped their fi ngers. Each class recited a poem together, and then each student recited a self-written poem. Following the poetry performance, the audience enjoyed coffee, punch, and refreshments. Among the students participating in the event were Lynnaya Hamby and Julian Bardi of Sewanee.
