For the first time in the history of R. H. S. achap- ter of a National Honor so- ciety for journalists was es- tablished here February 23. The Quill and Scroll so- ciety was organized in l926 by a group of high school supervisors, for the purpose of both encouraging and re- warding individual achieve- ment in journalism and ' in other fields of creative work which are closely allied to this. It now numbers al- most three hundred chap- ters which are situated in practically every state and which represent just about every school which is out- standing in its journalism.
