The literary publication Ernest Hemingway worked on in high school was The Tabula. He attended Oak Park and River Forest High School in Illinois, where he contributed writing while also participating in student journalism.
Hemingway worked on The Tabula during his final high-school years, alongside the school newspaper, The Trapeze. These publications gave him an early opportunity to write stories, poems, sketches, and humorous pieces for a real audience. His school work already showed the concise, energetic style that later became his trademark.
A common mix-up is confusing The Tabula with The Harvard Lampoon, a college humor magazine associated with Harvard University. Hemingway never attended Harvard. The Tabula is also sometimes described as a yearbook or annual in historical records, while other sources emphasize its literary contents; either way, it is the publication connected with Hemingway’s high-school writing.
