Quill and Scroll, a national honorary society for high school journalists, directed its main objective to stimulating and developing creative writing, thus the planned activities were few. However, the goal it sets up for aspiring underclassmen fulfilled a service to the school. Students were eligible for Quill and Scroll membership if their literary efforts resulted in an outstanding contribution towards the publication of the school newspaper or yearbook, and if they were in the upper third of their class academically. A year of highly productive work was climaxed by a Quill and Scroll dinner at the Rainbow Cafe where members received official recognition and their honorary pins. At this final meeting the society also announced the publications staff for the year 1957-58. Leaders this year were Linda Lundgren, president; Charlotte Smith, vice president; Lynn Kidder, secretary-treasurer. ROW 1: J. McKendrick, L. Lundgren, M. Anderson, J. Rossiter, M. Hill, D. Covell.

Notional Honor Society One of the highest honors a student could receive in high school was to be elected to National Honor Society. Four objectives form the basis for eligibility — scholarship, leadership, character, and service. The junior and senior advisors chose five percent of the junior class and ten percent of the senior class, who have earned a B average or better, and possessed the other characteristics to become new members. The program at which the new members were announced was one of the most exciting and suspenseful of the year, both for those selected and for the student body. The old members walked out into the audience and approached each new member individually at his seat, asking him to come up to the stage. Following this, the usual induction took place, and the initiates were sworn in. This year's officers were Frank Greenagle, president; John Woodhead, vice-president; Linda Lundgren, secretary, and Peter Fedders, treasurer. ROW I: G. Sonneiyn, M. Carlton, L. Lundgren, D.

Senior Cheerleaders Along with volleyball, basketball, soft-ball, and tennis, G.A.A. members took part in swimming — a new activity at Edina. From those showing interest, a number were chosen for the synchronized swimming group which presented a water show in March. Play days with G.A.A. groups from other schools gave the girls a chance to compare their skills with other teams. Throughout the year, the cheerleaders tried many new devices to rouse school spirit. The two new electric megaphones that they purchased were a great asset at football games. In January, the cheerleaders presented their idea of a pep contest to the student body and were backed wholeheartedly. Each class did its best to earn points toward the coveted pep trophy awarded to the winning class in the spring. The pep club worked closely with the cheerleaders toward getting the students to support athletics. They were seen cheering the teams on as a group at many games. A new venture for the club was the use of flashcards. The need for more members was one of the problems which the club, under the direction of Miss Bowers, tried to solve. Some progress towards thii was made by the announcement that membership in pep club added points toward the pep trophy. Junior Cheerleaders -23-
