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!

JUNIOR RED CROSS Jack Kovacs, treasurer, Joanne Petersen son, president. EVERY STUDENT IS A MEMBER An organization that carries a program ot service, both national and local, is Murray's Junior Red Cross Chapter. Under the direction ot Mrs. Agnes Smith, the students have added another record of outstanding service. During the tall all rooms participated in Hlling boxes tor distribution overseas. Chapter board members had the responsibility of checking and packing. At holiday time the Red Cross ottlcers found hours somewhere, and they helped to decorate the Veteran's Hospital tor Christmas. With the slogan that Every Student ls a Member as Soap ls Needed its motto the Murray group launched its annual drive March l4. Preceded by a program tor the entire school, the representatives and board members asked for gen- erous contributions and received them. This year the school was represented in the St. Paul Red Cross Council by Beverly Bailey who held the ottice ot second vice president. Beverly attended a national meeting of the organization during the past summer in San Francisco. The Murray Chapter selected a memorial tor the school library to Louis Peter, one ot the Red Cross board members, who died during the year.

YESTERDAY A DREAM Traditional Christmas songs and carols were present- ed by the choir and soloists at an assembly and eve- ning performance ot the annual candlelight program. For the hrst time in Murray's history, the majestic strains of Handel's great Hallelujah Chorus echoed through the auditorium. This and the singing ot carols in the halls were the choir's inspiring contribution to the spirit of Christmas, which was enlarged by a special trip which the carolers made to Ancker Hospital. Talent was discovered among the junior class mem- bers ot the A Choir during tryouts tor the i948 op- eretta, H. M. S. Pinafore, and a number played leading roles in the production. The third operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan to be presented at Murray, Pinafore is the story of a lowly sailor in love with the captain's daughter who must choose between him and her high social rank. The situation is reversed, however, when a nursemaid ot the captain and sailor admits that she confused the two as children.
