Jacket, president of Quill and Scroll; Mary Jim Jones, editor of Yellow Jacket and the Golden THE GOLDEN QUILL The Golden Quill, a volume of creative writings by the students of the Alvin schools, was published by the Quill and Scroll last year for the first time. Prize winning essays, editorials, short stories and drawings of the contest appeared in the magazine. Other selections that were entered in the contest were also published. The Quill and Scroll chose the magazine as their project for the year, hoping to stimulate an interest in the school for individual thinking and writing; that is, individual achievement. Several organizations donated money. The Parent-Teacher Association appropriated all the money needed to complete the amount for prizes. Mary Jim Jones was elected editor and Joy Barrick, busi- ness manager of the magazine. 24
