Quill and Scroll and N.H.S. Honor Students Quill and Scroll is the national honor society for outstanding high school journalism students. Students must have an overall B average, done outstanding work on a school publication, and be recommended by the publication advisor and approved by the national organization. Second semester sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible. The MHPS chapter was found¬ ed in 1978. Initiation is held once a year in the spring. The club initiated a schoolwide photography contest last year and hopes to make it an annual event. Promoting journalistic activities in the school is the goal of Quill and Scroll members. The National Honor Society is an organization for Juniors and Seniors who have excelled in academic and civic areas. Members of the Society must exhibit such qualities as leader¬ ship, citizenship, and honor as well as scholastic achievement. Club activities include tutoring of students in academic sub¬ jects and a spring installation banquet. The Honor Society em¬ bodies the spirit and accomplishment, reflected in our chapter’s name — Esprit. Left to Right: Cheryl Carlisle, Tammy Messer, Roger Knowles, Ms. Wire. Quill and Scroll members discuss plans for a Spring Initiation. 24 Organizations

Y earbook Staff Holds 1st Sales Promotion The yearbook staff sponsored by Ms. Shirley Wire, used their copy writing, editing, layout, cover design, and photography skills to produce the 6th edition of the Reflections annual. In spite of being moved from their 4th new workroom and darkroom, which is two-thirds the size of a regular classroom, the staff managed to overcome many other minor setbacks dur¬ ing the course of the year. The room didn’t have a light switch and caused many headaches when the neighboring classroom would accidentally turn off their lights. The darkroom was in a small closet, with no running water (at least this year’s darkroom was actually dark.) The running water problem was almost solved when the faulty sprinkler system flooded the darkroom two days before a deadline. The highlight of the year was a sensational promotional campaign, which had never been tried before. In early November, the staff held a giant assembly, featuring a slide show and popular music, followed by a one-day-only “order now, pay later” sale. A few lucky students received free year¬ books when their names were drawn in a raffle, prior to the assembly. Comical skits were performed over the Public- Address System to advertise the upcoming event.
