4 PALMER INITIATES MITCHELL JOURNALISTS At a joint initiation on March 10 in the Pikes Peak Room, the Palmer chapter initiated both Wasson and Mitchell journalists into Quill and Scroll, national journalism honorary. Seniors in the upper third of their class were eli- gible for membership. The purpose of Quill and Scroll is to recognize students of journalism and to create an interest in literary Work and journalism as a career. Highlighting the school year were the mid-spring picnic in early May and the going-away party for col- lege-bound seniors. Faculty advisors of Quill and Scroll Were Miss Ro- enna Cohen, yearbook advisor, and Mr. Carl Clay, newspaper advisor. Acting as officer for this new organization were Chet Day, president, Chip Stockton, vice-president, Vicki Shaver, secretary, and Marilynne Tarbet, treas- urer. Sharing the responsibility of organizing this group, the officers created many new and lasting traditions such as annual initiation and an annual going-away party for departing seniors.

LISTENING INTENTLY, PEP Club member Louise Shadle receives instructions on the next field drill. REVEALING THEIR DISSAPOINTMENT, Pep Club members reflect on the unfortunate turn of events at Mitchell's Dedication football game with Centennial. PEP CLUB MEMBERS SPoRT Beginning early in the summer, the Mitchell Pep Club officers, under the direction of Mrs. Sharon Shea, chose new uniforms for the coming year. From many possible outfits the girls chose a navy blue pleated skirt and a navy blue blazer accented with orange piping. An orange dickey and blue loaf- ers completed the uniform. Promoting school and community service could well have been the goal of the 1965-66 Pep Club. The members readily volunteered their time and efforts to participate in such service drives as UNICEF. Performance in drills for the half-time shows was also on a volunteer basis. Meetings on the field before school on those cold November mornings to practice for the drills required real stamina. During the football season the senior members of Pep Club joined the cheerleaders and pompon girls in forming a funnel for the team. During the basket- ball season the drills dominated the scene. Working in close Contact with the Mitchell band, the Pep Club members were able to present leader- ship in supporting the various sports teams.
