Quill nd Scroll Sells Plastic Yearbook Covers Discussing whether or not Quill and Scroll should undertake the sale of plastic covers for t.he yearbook are members Anna, Mary Anna, and Becky. Quill and Scroll invitations were issued Monday, Feb- ruary 27, to I8 seniors and juniors from the staffs of the Hi-Life and the CLEAM, who had qualiiied for member- ship in the International Honor Society for High School Journalists. Almost immediately the members, old and new, took as a club project the selling of plastic yearbook covers. Covers of this kind, which gave protection to the GLEAM, had long been considered a need here. The sales price was 25:6 each. Initiation ceremonies took place in assembly. Regu- lation Quill and Scroll pins were presented to each new member by officers of the chapter, and a large gold quill pen was used to sign the oflicial register. In the repeating of vows each new member promised to uphold the high standards of the school and its publications, and to main- tain friendly relations between the publication staffs. Blue and gold, the colors of Quill and Scroll, were seen in the stoles worn by the officers and in the satin table cloth that covered the table around which the ceremonies were held.

Co-editors of the GLEAM, Jonnie Weatherford and Charlie Jordan, are introducing the play, Long Live the King , which was put on at the beginning of the subscription campaign for the 1961 GLEAM. In reference to the GLEAM,S having just been notiiied of its top rating in both National and State yearbook contests, this yearis subscription campaign was kicked offv with a dramatic assembly program at which King GLEAM,, was crowned and then presented various em- blems of award by princes and princesses gathered around his throne. In the midst of all this acclaim, word came that the villain, Krookself of Mosbullf was trying to destroy the King. Hunted and found by guards, the enemy dashed across the stage, down the aisle, and then 'gBOOMl',, blew himself up with his own at'em, Bum. The play was climaxed by shouts of, Long live the King! Long live King GLEAMl,, The GLEAM pep song followed. In the two-weeks campaign that followed, over 700 subscriptions to the 1961 yearbook were secured. Each copy cost 35.00, an amount that most subscribers paid in two equal payments, one in September and the other in February. To take care of extra needs, 750 GLEAMS were ordered. The subscription taking had been pre- ceded by an ad-selling campaign, in which more picture ads were sold than in any previous year. Ad prices ranged from 88.00 to 85000. In the late summer and early fall, the GLEAM was represented at three yearbook conventions, to two of which delegates from the staff were sent.

At the South Carolina Yearbook convention at Lander College, attended by jonnie Weatherford, Judy Gwinn, Peter Berry, Beverly Cain, Iudy Ieter, and Miss Gwinn, the GLEAM won first place and was given an engraved loving cup. Peter Berry, senior associate editor of the GLEAM, was elected president of the SCYA at this time. In the spring, after the 1961 volume had been put to bedf' plans were carried out for the formation of the 1962 GLEAM staff. Members of the student body who met high qualifications were given application forms. They had to have a general average of 85 or better, be recommended by a member of the faculty for depend- ability, conduct, and effort, and give reasons for wanting to be on the staff. About 150 applications were made. From these, 45 were chosen by a committee from the staff, approved by the adviser. As a climax to the year, the staff had a patio party at Juxa, the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon May, on the afternoon of GLEAM Day, the day the book was circulated. Hamburgers, potato chips, salad, ice cream, and soft drinks were enjoyed.
