Something To Be Proud Of In earlier times, quill and scroll was one of the most beautiful forms of writ- ing known. The tools used were a quill, usually a goose feather with a very sharp end, and a scroll, a sheet of paper made from papyrus. Though the forms of writing have changed greatly through the years, the honor is still there. At Pflugerville high school. Quill and Scroll means an honor- ary journalism club. A member is only accepted after showing outstanding mer- it in journalism. The student must be at least a sophomore and rank in the top quarter of his or her class. The new inductees for 1985-86 were Anne Blakely and Leah Blain. Blakely was recognized for her ability on the newspaper staff and Blain for her achievement in both newspaper and yearbook. Although Quill and Scroll club was again inactive, the honor was still there and can never be taken away. — Quill Scroll 63 —

 NHS Contributions Pay Off The National Honor Society fullfilled many needs of the students and teachers. NHS also managed in their spare time to raise money for the annual banquet. Becoming a part of the National Hon- or Society is a major step to the road of success. It requires much hard work and determination. To even be considered for NHS one must have a overall average of 92.5 and teacher approval. The club began the year by introduc- ing tutorial sessions for students. Due to lack of interest, attendance at these tuto- rials was unfortunately low, but Carrie Hays, club president commented that the students who were helped made the program worthwhile. The NHS also contributed their skill to the teachers at P.H.S. taking the TE- CAT Literacy test in March. The ses- sions turned into a chance for teachers and NHS members to share donuts and orange juice. It also gave teachers a much needed opportunity to release a little pent up frustration. Members earned money for activities by selling candy bars. With the money raised, the NHS took a trip to Six Flags in Arlington and enjoyed many of the rides. Ending the year, the NHS had a ban- quet at the Hyatt and stuffed themselves with fajjitas. As tradition would have it, the juniors paid for the seniors' meals. 1.

P hotography Vandals Damage Dream Five years ago, when Gary Anderson joined the PHS staff, the photography class was just a gleam in his eye. In 1985- 86, the dream matured into a class that was not only fun but which also helped students to use their creativity. During first year photography, stu- dents learned to use a camera, take dif- ferent types of pictures, develop and print. In second year photography, the students expanded their knowledge by using color, infared and other types of film. When Anderson received an excep- tionally good picture from one of his students, he had it entered in various photography contests. During the 1985-86 school year, the photography program suffered some set- backs. The first setback occurred when the photography lab was moved from the old building to the new building. In pre- vious years, a regular classroom was im- provised into a darkroom for developing. This year, besides having a regular dark- room, there was also a specialized dark- room in the photography room. Unfor- tunately, in the process of moving run- ning water, sinks for draining chemicals and light trap were omitted from the lab. The second and most devasting set- back came when the lab was broken into and vandalized. Approximately $10,000 worth of supplies were damaged or sto- len. Even with this, Anderson continued to further his dream and the students continued to produce award-winning pictures. photo by Nod Wagner —64 Photography—
