Quill and Scroll lnitiates 20 Student Journalists During an impressive candle lighting ceremony on March 5, 1964, twenty new members were initiated into the Wasson chapter of Quill and Scroll, a national jour- nalism society for high school students. Members were given Quill and Scroll pins, membership certificates, and a magazine subscription to f'Quill and Scroll magazine. These initiates were chosen from the staffs of the Wahian, Thunderbolt, and Penman for outstanding contributions to high school journalism. Quill and Scroll, although an honorary organization, did much to foster enthusiasm in its members and encouraged them to maintain an active interest in journalism. Of special interest to some members was the field trip taken to the Wasson print shop to observe the mechanical aspects of publications. Mr. Robert Hill, Wahian ad- visor, and Mr. Robert Simons, Thunderbolt advisor, were sponsors of Quill and Scroll. PAUSING AT THE PUNCH BOWL after the ceremony are senior initiates DeeDee Tomhave and Leslie Helfrich.
