Literary Club Stresses Writing Skills Formed two years ago to promote an interest in crea- tive writing, the Literary Club enables students to eX- press themselves in writing and to receive constructive criticism from other members. Under the guidance of Mrs. Knappe and Mr. Mc- Cullough, the Literary Club sponsors two major projects each year. One of these projects is the publication of the MIAMI NORLAND LITERARY MAGAZINE which is a collection of original works of students. The second project is the selling of Campus Books, which are paper volumes of popular books. These sales occur once each semester. Each meeting of the club is planned in advance. Either a discussion of poetry or prose is a mainstay on the agenda. Writing laboratories have been established by the permanent prose and poetry committee. These committees plan panel discussions in which members of the faculty participate. Thus, Miami Norland does its part toward producing the Emerson,s of the future.

Journalism Service Appreciation of the art of fine writing is the creed of the Miami Norland Chapter of Quill and Scroll, the International Honor Society for High School Journal- ists. Through this organization talented students can participate in journalistic activities with other students of similar interests. Membership is open to junior and senior honor students Who have written either one thousand lines of newspaper copy or Who have made an outstanding contribution to the yearbook, and Who have obtained the necessary faculty and administration approval. Journalists inducted in high school enjoy a life-time membership. iiWillingness to serve Others is the keynote of the Courtesy Corps. This organization is restricted to stu- dents with a high academic average Who wish to be of service to both school and community. The corps acted as ushers for assemblies and other meetings. These active students performed other services at various school functions and special occasions. 100

Dickey Contributions Reflect Sub Deb,s Altruism Established with the idea of promoting leadership, building character, and giving service, Sub Debs has devoted a great amount of time and energy to the pro- motion of beneficial projects. The Club collaborated With the other service Clubs to promote the elegant Sweetheart Dance in October. The members sold Nor- land sweatshirts, and made maroon and grey spirit dolls available to the student body. The money received from these projects was used to improve Norland and aid the communlty. In their efforts to improve school appearance, Sub Debs donated a folding mirror and Viking ships to re- decorate the teachers; lounge. The teachersT tables in the cafeteria were brightened each day with colorful floral arrangments. Under the counseling of Miss Bird and Mrs. Padgett, the Sub Debs presented Thanksgiving food to needy families. All of the club members main- tain a worthy academic average and express a sincere desire to be of service to both school and community.
