J L I S T I C The Laurel Leaves, in 1934 carried the Class “B” loving cup, and also the first class rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. In 1935 it slipped to second place in Missoula and held this same position in 1936 and 1937. In 1937. it again received the first class honor rating from the National Scholastic Press Association. The Laurel Leaves has become one of the most important outside activities the school has ever sponsored. It is hoped that the Laurel Leaves will be continued as part of this school’s activities. The Stella R. Chapter of Quill and Scroll began in the year of ’31 The purpose of this society is to acquaint high school journalists with the accompanying features of the journalistic field. It has sponsored a creative story and poem contest, joint meetings with other chapters and the usual annual banquet. Five members represented Laurel Leaves at the Inter-Scholastic meet at the State University.

They are given one-fourth credit for their work and are under the instruction of Miss Florence Shirk.
