President - - Jeanne McDonel Vice President - - June Webb Secretary - - Barbara Bowman Treasurer - - E. Don Snow Advisor - - H. C. Heffner Due to the present crisis in the world, the need for high-grade honest journalism is self- evident. The coming generation and our future is partially dependent upon our great system of news service and publishing houses. From the scribes of old up to our contemporary journalists there has been a constant struggle to keep our right of free speech and free press. Hones journalism must prevailllll I. I-I. S. H. S. J.-1-translated means the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists or Quill and Scroll. The purpose of this famous organization is to promote higher standards of journaistic work in the United States high schools. Due to the rigid requirements, the members are held to a minority. A candidate must be a junior or a senior in high school and must have done outstanding work on either Mirror publication staff, literary or business. A student journalist must bein the upper third of his class scholastically for the year in which he is recommended by his advisor and must be accepted by the National Executive Board of Quill and Scroll. Each new member is presented with a small gold pin bearing a quill and scroll, symbolic of the meticulous efforts of ancient scribes to record the events of the ages. The initation ritual is very impressive when the young journalists take the following oath of journalistic principles: I do solemnly covenant with these persons here assembled that I will ever be true to the ideals of Quill and Scroll. On my sacred honor I pledge myself to do all in my povger to aid the cause of better journalism. May God help me to do so. AUDREY CANTERBURY -23.5 Sag.

C. Helfner When we asked where we could obtain information concerning the Weekly Mirror, we were told we could find it at the journalism room. One Monday evening we decided to Visit this interesting place. After a few wrong turns and bum steers, we find it at last, We slowly push open the door and find a crowded, noisy, well-lit room, lt certainly looks like a newspaper room! We wonder who all those energetic people can be. There are some busy girls at the typewrites. They must be the ones making so much noise. One is looking in a dictionary. This is the first place we've seen in a long time where anyone ever looked in those big Websters. lt certainly must be an intellectual crowd. Over here are some girls measuring little blocks. What are they for? We'll ask this boy. Those are for the advertisements, is his reply flanked by an icy stare that says as much as what are you doing here, Well, how are We supposed to know that. Let's listen to some of their talk. It seems rather strange to us. Where is the copy paper? l want a two-inch head on my article. Are you going to put your page to bed with ours? Oh boy, we get out of school Thursday to proof read. Upon further investigation We learned what this means. Where is the paper to write my article on? - Por my article I want a headline that is two inches long. Are you going to put your page together with the rest of us?' ' We get out of school to go to the printers to look for typographical errors in the Mirror. The things on this table are certainly queer looking, They resemble little blocks of kindling wood. A boy just told us they were linoleum cuts. That helps a lot. Oh! there is a kind-looking soul--maybe she will tell us what linoleum cuts are. We thought linoleum was used for kitchen floors, but we found it is also used for pictures in the Weekly. We imagine the lady who is telling everyone what to do is the literary advisor. She certainly makes a lot of marks on those papers she is reading. Some important looking man just came in the door. He'gs talking to the people doing advertising work. Maybe he is the faculty business manager, Everyone looks pretty tired, and they'Ve just finished putting the the Mirror to bed, perhaps we'd better leave. EVELYN SCHURR -5 7-
