Members were chosen on the merits of outstanding work in some phase of journalism, recommendation by the publication's adviser, and class rank within the upper third of the member's class. All members receive a monthly magazine entitled Quill and Scroll. The initiation was held in the Brick Room on February 29. The Wasson organization, sponsored by Mr. Simons, was in charge of the ceremony while Palmer's club provided the program and Mitchell's group furnished the refreshments. I5

4 Literary Guild DID YOU NEED notecards, dictionaries, history notes, steno pads, tempera paints, or a good book to read over that long vacation? Perhaps you were one of the students who sought these things in Wasson's bookstore run by the Literary Guild. Along with these helpful items for students, the bookstore's inventory included many new books. A few of these were The Communist Manifesto, Hiller and Nazism, Amer- ican History After 1865, and Catcher in the Rye. Literary Guild's new sponsor was Mr. Brinton. Each of the club's officers had specific duties. President Mary Voyles handled book orders, work schedules, and assisted the other committees. Vice- president Kris Berkeland attended I.C.C. meetings and headed the publicity committee. Marcia Fisher, secretary-treasurer, took charge of all club records and headed her assisting records committee. Susie Roberts was chairman of the selections committee which chose and reviewed all new books. Is it a disaster, great theft, or new sales record? No, it is Susie Roberts eyeing a new shipment of books before beginning sorting operations.

Thunderbolt BOLD USE OF photography and a new emphasis on art work gave the 67-68 Thunderbolt a new look at originality. The art work, done by John Cummings and Kathy Duke, was used to illustrate editorials, advertisements, and stories about student life. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Simons and the leadership of Gary Waitschies, the staff of eighteen published fifteen issues of the Thunderbolt. After completing a course in journalism, the first year journalism class published their own edition of the Thunderbolt. An extra feature in the Thuderbolt was the Scholastic Roto, which featured articles on foreign study and student activities. Following last year's second semester All- American rating, Thunderbolt received the Colorado Press Award for being one of the outstanding high school papers in Colorado. The requirements for a position on the Thunderbolt staff are the completion of Journalism 1 and 2 and selection by the adviser, Mr. Simons. Comparing the T-bolt to other high school papers, Cori Parisi find many similarities and differences in layouts.
