W. C. A. JUNE GRADUATE Members of the English Club Five hundred and seventy-one years ago the first book to be printed in the English language marked a milestone in the evolution of English literature. Today the classics of all tongues have been translated into English and grace the shelves of luxurious libraries. They are open to the poorest and richest comer alike. The ixivention of reading and writing was a greater boon to man- kind than can be easily conjectured. An organization which fosters achieve- ment in the field of English literature is certainly meritorious. A. W. S. Big Sister II SPRING SEMESTER QUILL OFFICERS

Their work finds written expression in essays, short stories, poetry and drama. The Quill, which is'the semi-annual literary publication 'of San Jose State, has con- sistently maintained a praiseworthy standard of content. This magazine is the spokesman of the English Club and the medium through which the talents of writers seek recognition. FALL SEMESTER QUILL OFFICERS I 22 1

VILLA MONTALVO POETIC SCENE September 18, 1926 Cast in the beauty of an early autumn day, Villa Montalvo presented an ideal setting for the awarding of prizes to the winners of the annual poetry contest. This event is conducted by the Markham Poetry Chapter of the English Club, and is sponsored by former Senator James D. Phelan. The pleasures of the day were devoted to leisurely walks through the beautiful estate, melodies from the strains of an Hawaiian trio, lunch on the spacious veranda, and a splendid program of poetry and music in the amphitheatre.
