S - inn- ., 'wig rt Quill lnspires Originality In Writing Ancl Drawing This year the QUILL staff set to work, eager to top last year's sweeping success at SIPA and Columbia where the magazine received the Trophy and Medalist ratings. Determined to continue their high standards, staff mem- bers immediately began to ex- amine, criticize and tear apart the work submitted by students, and finally to select QUILL ma- terial. Under the direction of Mrs. Young the art department and art staff worked with the staff choosing and planning the make- up of the magazine. Illustrations often are inspired by stories, at other times drawings inspire ver- bal interpretations. Without pausing to rest after completing a quality fall maga- zine, Mrs. Sadler's writing class plunged once again into creative efforts, producing sonnets, cin- Sl quains, short stories and articles, again the staff had its hands full editing and choosing from the wealth of material for the spring edition. Highlights of this busy year for the staff were an extensive campaign to secure patrons for the QUll.L and various other money-making activities, and a complimentary letter from a fan in London, England.
