Staff works to keep pupils informed All-American way Thirty young journalists under- took the vast challenge of inform- ing and entertaining some 2,500 readers through the Telstar, North- west's bi-weekly newspaper. With a touch for the inquisitive, reporters invaded every corner to find news. For the first time, Telstar won an All-American rating for the 1968 spring semester. To add to NHS honors, Sharlene Queen was se- lected secretary of the Indiana High School Publications Association. News Bureau staff prepared copy about NHS and its pupils for publi- cation in city and suburban news- papers. Fifteen journalists aspired to the NHS chapter of Quill and Scroll, which recognizes meritorious service and achievements in stu- dent publications. To be eligible, a student had to be at least a junior with two semesters in publications and maintain a B average. Besides the spring publications banquet, Quill and Scroll also sponsored convention and workshop trips. QUILL AND SCROLL-FRONT ROW: Linda Ott, Mary Orders, Donna Shouse, Penny Christ- off.

Perhaps Northwest's Thespian Troupe 2625 had the answers all along. To become a member of the National Thespian Society, a stu- dent must earn ten Thespian points. He may appear on stage, work after school on scenery, or work on costume, make-up, props, or pub- licity committees. Working together, some 30 Thes- pians taught Pioneer Players the ropes of costuming, make-up, and publicity. Any student interested in dramatics could join Pioneer Play- ers, often his joining motivated his desire to become a Thespian. A group of Thespians attended the film biography, Funny Girl. Some experienced another branch of drama by directing one-act plays. For the first time, these plays were presented after school. Thespian officers were Lonny Huber, president, Gary Stewart, vice-president, Sandy Sprouse, sec- retary, and Arleen Bolton, clerk.
