To become a member of this organization, the applicant must stand well scholastically, he must have been a member of the paper staff for at least one semester before he applies for membership, and he must have samples of his best journalistic writing approved by the National Secretary. According to word recently received fro the National Headquarters at Des Moines, Iowa, the club will henceforth be known as the International Honor Society for High School Journalists, due to the fact that there are now several foreign chapters. Besides the sponsoring of this Magazine, the Quill and Scroll Society had charge of a successful dance at the Moose Home in February, which resulted in enough extra money to buy several attractive cuts for this issue. Present officers of the local chapter are: president, Charles Engelhardt; vice president, Helen Brown; secretary. Edith Hoffman; treasurer, Arlene McDaniels; sergeant-at-arms, Jimmy Stafford. —----------------------—1930—-------------------------------- —
