Members of the QUILL staff, Slim Kummer, Pam Johnson and Stephanie Traylor, make a final copy check while Marilyn Brigham dictates to Ann Thomas. This year the Quill staff, de- termined to continue its high stand- ards and eager to strike out anew, decided to publish one large issue, instead of the traditional Fall and Spring issues. With this issue new and various features could be used to add sparkle and a greater de- gree of variety to the magazine. From early September until the day the Quill went to the printer, endless 'hours were spent criticiz- ing, sketching, painting, typing, editing, and pasting up the final dummy. But both the staff and contributing students knew that their hours were well spent when they saw their reward-the i964- 65 Quill. .H-.-..f.....-...........,.... .

Iwlg QUILL lnspires Creative Expression Quill, the award winning literary- art magazine, presents the best creative writing and art work sub- mitted by Patrick l-lenry's talented young authors and artists. The majority of the literary ma- terial is supplied by Mrs. Jacque- line Arnold's creative writing class, although often student work is sub- mitted by other teachers or by the students themselves. ln the crea- tive writing class, time is spent learning techniques, studying models, and reading the works of great authors, then students are given o chance to express their own thoughts and ideas. How great is the feeling of success when a student has written his first essay, short story, cinquain, or sonnetl Outstanding art work for the Quill is furnished by the art classes under the direction of Mrs. Shirlee Young. Illustrations are inspired by stories, poetry, or articles, read by the art students or taken from class assignments or sketch books. Often the tables are turned and drawings or paintings inspire verbal interpretations. This produces an interesting Poet lnterprets Art or The Artist Speaks feature. The variety of art work in Quill results from a great number of students being given the chance to contribute material. 80 Marilyn Brigham, Editor-in-Chief of QUILL, writes herself into a corner forthe Creative Writing Class.
