journalists contribute extra hours to meet deadlines Working many extra hours to meet deadlines was not unusual for the Falcon or the Falcon Quill Staff. Selling advertising space to busi- nesses was the main project of the annual staff members during the summer. Each member was required to sell S80 worth of ads to remain on the staff. During the first months of the school year members of the annual staff went to each home group sell- ing annuals. The member who sold the most annuals, Sharon Owens, received a gift certificate for 525. Something different was done to the academics section this year. This section was designed as a booklet and extra copies printed. These were to be bound in a special cover and used as public relations media. Students buying an annual re- ceived a free issue of the Falcon Quill. The Falcon Quill staff tried something new by distributing it bi- monthly instead of monthly. To cover the cost of printing the advertising staff of the Falcon Quill sold ads to various businesses throughout Knoxville. , .. . va 1 FQ 0-4.4!

Leadership recognized in honor clubs National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll were two of Fulton's national honor clubs. Tutoring students who had prob- lems in certain subjects was a proj- ect of National Honor Society. As another project members sold Christmas cards to go toward a scholarship for a deserving senior. They met on the first and third Fri- days during lower class assembly. Preparing for a banquet in the spring was the main project of Quill and Scroll. The banquet was for the annual and newspaper staffs. The club met on the second and fourth Fridays during lower class assembly.
