They must have done superior work in Writing, editing, or business manage- mentg they must be recommended by the adviser and approved by the national execu- tive secretary. Organized in 1926 for the purpose of encouraging and rewarding individual achievement in journalism and allied fields, Quill and Scroll has taken an active part in raising standards in high-school journalism, and in promoting exact and dispassionate thinking and clear, forceful writing. Commenting on Let's Go Places, Edward Nell, executive secretary, declared, The booklet is well written and full, from cover to cover, with interesting and genuinely informative material. Best of all I liked the informal and pleasantly humorous style in which the booklet is written. It certainly reveals a new background of literary work. Alvernia graduates who are members of the Quill and Scroll are Margaret Balassa '33, Dorothy Cashion '32, Mildred Giese '32, Dorothy Miller '32, Verginia Nickus '34, Ruth Virgils '32, and Margaret Werlein '32.

Che Art Club ORKS of art wrought by a masteris hand have great power in them. They con- tribute to man's sentiments and touch upon his higher faculties which lead him to a more noble life. In reorganizing the Art Club, the art classes have resolved to equip themselves with the requisite technical skill that will enable them to express such emotions of beauty as arise within them. Furthermore, they have chosen to come in contact with noble works of art, under the influence of as stimulating a teacher as possible, in order to develop their sense of beauty. Probably the greatest activity of the Art Club this year was the Christmas sale of handicrafts. The auditorium lobby was transformed into a veritable gift shop during the week of December 11. Leather-tooled bookmarks, comb cases, card boxes, purses, book and note-book covers, together with a variety of woven, crocheted, and stenciled articles, were on sale. Besides participating in the Western Art Association Exhibit and competing in the National Scholastic Awards Contest, the Art Club assisted the Kilmer Literary guild with the publication of its pamphlet, Let's Go Places. MARCH CAME IN LIKE A LAMB, BUT, AFTER A FEW DAYS, IN STALKED THE LION.
