Eighteen BeteQ Attend Stete Convention As a reward for maintaining a 4.0 average for three consecutive semesters, the Beta Club offered its members a weekend convention of fun and relaxation as a relief from their “exhausting studies.” After their mirthful weekend of skylark- ing, these conscientious young stu- dents resolved to go to work selling T-shirts in order to pay off their creditors. On Parent-Visitation Day, Beta members once again lent their services to parents as guides and consultants. Naill Falls, Carl Loewer, and Mike Mays spend extra time enjoying their National Beta Club Journals. On parent visitation day Mrs. Crain receives courteous instructions from Beta Club member Neal Beaton while Mike and Paula quietly observe. Club sponsor Mrs. Neblett watches pa- tiently as eighteen anxious Beta Club members load on the bus preparing to leave for the convention.

Standing: Roger Winkler, Larry Altman, Wayne Cockrell—Treasurer, Mike Courtney, Neal Beaton, Chip Baker— Vice-president. An international society com- posed of students whose work on high school publications merits rec- ognition, Quill and Scroll is the oldest extracurricular organization at WHS. At the club’s January initiation six WHS'ers were honored with membership, and many other jun- iors and seniors joined the society at the annual spring banquet. As last year, the Literary Journal was edited, arranged and typed by Quill and Scroll members. Editor-in-chief Jane Armstrong commanded a staff of class editors, who gathered out- standing original writings of stu- dents in the first through twelfth grades. Quill and Scroll President Paula Block pins the club pin on initiate Jane Arm- strong as she offers Jane her congratu- lations. Quill and Scroll Sponsor Mrs. Houser goes over the details of organization with Jane Armstrong, Editor-in-chief of the Literary Journal. 19

Patriotism Pisplayad in Assambty Relating a normal day-at Girls' State, Cheryl Fifer and Nancy Holleman de- light the audience with tales of cold midnight showers. Last summer twelve WHS stu- dents were transformed by the magic of Boys' and Girls’ States. Camp Robinson in Little Rock seceded from Arkansas to become a make- believe state for two successive weeks. During this time two thou- sand high school kids became vot- ing citizens of this state. The Wynne youth gained a great un- derstanding of the workings of our government through this experience, which they described in an assem- bly last fall. Neal, Joan, Nancy, and Chip absorb the words of one of their fellow-Staters, while party-minded Paula continues to campaign for her team Smiling faces and peace signs prevail as relieved staters gather to perform mischief for the birdie following a suc- cessful assembly. All spring to attention as Bruce and Paula present the colors. Jovial rivals Jane Armstrong and Jenni- fer Johnston promote party spirit by waving banners to prove their loyalty to opposing factions. 21
