Kim McDonald, freshman, and Mrs. Brown wait impatiently as Karen Brown, junior, receives her pin as Editor of the Prowler from Quill and Scroll. tZucii Scna££ New Members Inducted “Quill and Scroll has been inactive this year again, but that doesn’t take any of the accomplishment away from those students who have earned the award, said sponsor and journalism teacher Ms. D. Ostas. Quill and Scroll is a national honorary organization for students who show merit in journalism. Students must be at least a sophomore, be in the top 25 percent of their class and have done something outstanding in journalism in their school. Once in the club, the honor cannot be taken away. Editors of newspaper and yearbook respectively, Karen Brown and Kendra Bounds were old members along with photo editor Randy Pogue. This year new members were inducted. For newspaper Missy Gewin and Gwynda Horton earned the honor for their work on the first literary magazine and for business management. In yearbook, Misty Johnson, Jennifer Simpson and Noel Wagner were inducted. Johnson for her work and effort in the first part of the year, Simpson for bringing enthusiasm and input from Round Rock and Wagner for his outstanding work in photography. Quill and Scroll will be rating this year’s newspaper and yearbook. The national organization gives all kinds of help to students interested in journalism. I expect more students will be inducted as the journalism program here grows, added Ms. Ostas. Missy Gewin edited the first edition of Pflugerville’s Avant Guard, the literary magazine. Her hours of work both typing on the computers, lay- ing out the pages and organizing the book is just one example of how the growing school will allow more journalistic work promoting more Quill and Scroll activity. Missy Gewin. junior, is pleased with her accomplishments as be- ing editor of the first annual literary magazine in Pflugerville. The magazine was called Avant Guard and had 38 pages of prose and poetry. Noel Waggoner, sophomore, works hard on taking a picture while Misty Johnston, junior, and Jennifer Simpson, senior, watch as they try to understand what is going on. QUILL AND SCROLL 53

 P'I, II Mr. Gary Anderson's photography as art classes continued to grow this year. His program which began four years ago has developed into one of the most popular electives available. I started from scratch, making my own water proof sink out of wood and fiberglass. Then I taped black plastic over all the possible light sources,'' said Mr. Anderson. The biggest problem which was how to finance the program was solv ed for me when I started talking to other photography teachers in the Austin area. One from Del Valle. Bob Davis, suggested that I make the students responsible for paying for the in-class necessities. I tried it and it worked.'' said Mr. Anderson. The students I have in class are highly screened and are therefore highly responsible. They understand that the only way to keep the pro- gram going is for them to help pick up some of the costs and they do. It is their personal responsiblity that makes this program work. added Mr. Anderson. This year Mr. Anderson said his goal had been to enter more student work in local and national contests. This year he had 50 entries and of those 11 won. Junior Jeff Bruzenak starts the water agitator used to do the final rinsing of developed prints.
