PLACQUE There is no room for sentimentality in public speaking, but when the shiny silver placque was hung on the wall, the eyes of the four pioneer debaters of the N. F. L. lit up with joy and pride. To these girls we owe a debt -forensically speaking, because through their efforts we were able to reach a place of honor in the debating field. These girls all hold the Degree of Diftinction in the National Forensic League: Alice Marie Skirpan, Ellen Frances Rodgers, Anne Daniels, Mary Ellen Curran. Congratulations girls! NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY These lucky girls have been elected by the faculty to the National Honor Society, an organi- zation for honor students in high school.

Mary Miller, Ellen Frances Rodgers, Kay Watson, Adalene Lancaster, Anne Daniels, and Mary Ellen Curran were elected into the Seton Hill chapter of this National Honor Society. QUILL AND SCROLL Whether or not one displays the added touch of Editor or Business Manager to her quill and scroll pin, it is with pride that one may wear the pin of this nationwide journalistic society for high school students. These girls have earned these rewards by working on the staff of school publica- tions or by attaining achievement-in journalistic work. ' Anne Bennis, Ellen F. Rodgers, Ann Daniels, Mary E.
