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

She has been a faithful worker on student publication for the last five years. She is business manager of the annual, president of the Quill and Scroll, and has held many other smaller positions during her high school and junior high school days.

She has been active in the Press Club, in Student Council, and in many other school activi- ties during her high school years. Marilyn is faithful and dependable in all her work, has a fine attitude toward her school and teachers, and shows the ability and initiative to work independently at a task. SAM McKENZIE Salutatorian Sam McKenzie is salutatorian of his class this year with an average of 90.26. Sam’s personality is his greatest asset. His ability to win friends and influence people has aided him this year during his term as advertising manager of the Yellow Jacket. His long eye lashes and sparkling eyes, together with his bright smile go a long way toward making up his attractive personality.
