Student Journalists Are Commended Rocky students who found their mode of expression to be journalism were eligible for the National Quill and Scroll Asso¬ ciation. This award was given in recognition for the dedication and long hours of work put into school publications. Students involved with both Watchtower and Crimson Crier were those who received this award. Special recognition was also given to Jane Robinson who was chosen to receive the D.A.R. award.
