SCRIBES ARE WORLD-MINDED Quill and Scroll Boasting one ot the largest memberships in the history of the Stephen Vincent Benet Chapter ot Quill and Scroll, this year's group has scattered its talents in many ways. While the majority ot the twenty-two members are connected with the school's publications, many find time for participation in other activities. Quill and Scroll is primarily an honorary organi- zation tor individuals who have given service in the journalism department or who have excelled in cre- ative writing. This year the group headed by Mary Sue Krebs, president, decided to go world minded and help Murray support an Austrian child. ln order to do this the group gave up financing the yearly creative writing contest. Two initiations, one in the tall and the other in May, gave members an opportunity to get together and enjoy lite away from ems and picas . An addition to Quill and Scroll this year was the pur- chase by the club ofa seven branch candelabrum for initiations, The group also worked on a revision ot the journalism files. Susan is pinned!
