Camera Club The Camera club, which is the youngest organization in Greenville high school, has made rapid progress since it received its charter in Jan- uary. Credit is due Billy Gulley, presi- dent, for the existence of the club. ITnder his instructions, the Camera club studied many phases of phono- graphy. This group, although young, should prove to be one of the main organizations in the high school. Red Cross Under the supervision of Miss Margaret Zinn, the Red Cross club was organized in the fall of 1940. The club now has thirty members. Officers are Audrey Lum, president, and Queenie McGowan, secretary- treasurer. The club was organized last fall when several students and Miss Zinn evinced interest in doing Red Cross woi’k. In addition to other activities, the members have pi’epared fifteen knitted garments; several are still under construction.

Diversified Occupations C. Wallace Bourne Supervisor Two D. O. students, Paul Brooks and C. B. Rowlette, attended the state convention in Wilmington, April 28- 29. These students were outstanding in deciding on the state D. 0. pin and were the first to suggest it. Throughout the year the class has operated as a club. Early in the current year they elected officers: Billy Gulley, president; Bernice Jenkins, vice-president; and Mary Sue Moore, secretary-treasurer. Going into its second year of existence in G. H. S., Diversified Occupations, under the supervision of C. Wal- lace Bourne, made several outstanding achievements throughout the past school year. Composed of fourteen seniors and six juniors, the class put over one of the best dances of the year on Valentine night. Besides the dance, they held their annual student-employer banquet early in May. This proved to be one of the most important school events of the year.

The Greenville high school chapter of Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists, now has twelve members, eleven boys and one girl. Election to Quill and Scroll is based on superior work in some phase of journalism. Bernice Jenkins, capable editor of Green Lights, is president of Quill and Scroll. Under his leadership the school paper has become more vital as a school force than at any time during its six years of publication. This year Green Lights was judged to be a medalist paper by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, an All-American paper by the National Scholastic Press Association, and a first-class paper by the Southern Inter- scholastic Press Association. These ratings indicate the superiority of Green Lights and reflect credit on the journalism class and the entire school. Editorials in Green Lights were declared by the CSPA to be the best in the nation of any editorials in papers from high schools of similar enrollment to that of Greenville high. Editor Jenkins will be succeeded next year by Jack Edwards and Bill Turner, co-editors.
