The Quill and Scroll Society was started in our school two years ago. Since then it has become one of the most outstanding clubs in school. It is an international honorary society for high school jour- nalists which was founded at Iowa University in 1926. This society has spread to various countries of the world-the United States, England, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, New Zealand, and China. The Constitution of the Quill and Scroll Society requires that the students who are to become mem- bers of this organization meet the following require- ments: l. They must be of at least junior standing. 2. They must be in the upper third of their class in general scholastic standing. 3. They must have done superior work in some phase of journalistic or creative endeavor. 4. They must be recommended by the advisor or by the committee. governing publi- cation. 5. They must be approved by the Executive Secretary. New members were inducted in March at a beautiful Candlelight Ceremony in the presence of the entire student body. The club paid for pins for the new members by selling Christmas cards and gift wrapping paper in the fall.
