QUILL AND SCROLL, the nobility of high school journalism, consisted of a group of journalism students who believed that journal- ism was fun, but went farther than just thinking about it. For their superior work on the school publications, these pen-fiends have won the coveted Quill and Scroll award. . . . PERSONALITY CLUB, whose aim was to turn out ever lovelier girls, more perfectly poised, more immaculately groomed, was sponsored by Miss Wade.

MR. McNARIE MR. DEAN MISS SAVAGE MR. COX MR. BACKE Chairman Publication» Dramatic» Dramatic» Mu»ic Dramatics, music, hobbies, educational clubs, and recreational activities have made banner headlines during the year 1940-1941. Under the direction of George F. Backe, music director, H. T. Cox, and Miss Lillian Savage, dramatics instructors, H. H. Dean, publications adviser, and M. J. McNarie, ac- tivities chairman, students of Prescott high have made school history in their respective fields of endeavor. These activities have not only given the participating students a chance to express themselves in their chosen field, but they have also provided many benefits to the non- participating students. These result from such general activities as the junior and senior plays, the publications, musical entertainments, and others which are enjoyed or parti- cipated in by the student body. Educational benefits of these activities are numerous. 7hrough the dramatics activ- ities, students learn to produce plays, manage stages, and, more important, to express themselves. Musical activities provide an opportunity for musically minded students to learn more about their chosen field in all of its aspects. Through publications many Pres- cott boys and girls have come to realize that writing can be and is fun. Even the purely recreational activities have given us social experiences which will prove invaluable in future years. In the following scenes you will find shots of these various clubs and activities, with explanations by the Hassayamper commentators.
