Having decided upon their candi
dates for membership at a former
meeting, the members of Quill and
Scroll spent the majority of the
time at their October li meeting
discussing the type of assembly
program to be used as initiation
service for the new members.
In contrast with last year's pro
gram, this year the initiation will
be serious rather than humorous.
In addition to the formal cere
mony in which new members take
the society pledge and receive their
pins, plans call for an outside
speaker, probably an ex-Quill and
Scroll member who has become a
successful journalist.

Of 'Standards' Meet
South American Club
Elects Hew Officers
l^r(';'iing for the second time this year,
ineihh(,‘i-s of the newly organized club
for Sourh American study gathered
Oclolier 14. elected officers and drew up
a fciifativG plan for study for the first
seme.ster.
Pcie Price, a junior, was elected pres
ident. while Bill Pollard and Gertrude
Archer were selected as vice-president
and secretary, respectively.
Will Meet ni-Moiitlily
The organization will meet on the
second and fourth Tue.sdays of each
momli. with the next meeting scheduled
f*^r Tuesday.
As a first step, the members will make
study of j-^outh America as a whole
get a general idea of its geography,
politics, and customs, which will serve
fonndalion material. Later on, each
member will be responsible for a re
port on one country. A portion of every
period will be devoted to these
talks.
nelmtirig Club to Sit in
Although they will not he considered
members of the organization, tlie par-
Geipanfs in the debating club will sit
on the meetings in order that they
might gain some additional informa-
Gon on South America, as that conti
nent will furnish subject matter for the
^fate debate query, “Resolved: That the
countries of the western hemisphere
^bould enter into a permanent union.'’
Meeting for the second time this year,
the Social Standard.s committee, on Oc
tober 15, decided upon its central theme
and speakers for the special occasion,
which will‘be held some time during
November.
This event, scheduled for the purpose
of presenting a new angle on education
to high school students and to impart
practical knowledge that cannot be ac
quired through the study of hooks, is
one of the most important on the school
calendar.
Interesting Program Promised
The committee, under the adviser-
ship of Miss JIary Ellen Blackmon and
:Miss Estelle Mitchell, has mapped out
a new plan for the event, but prefer.s
to withhold any information because
of the incompletness of the work.
“I do feel safe in saying this, how
ever,—the set-up this year certainly
brings variety into the program and I
feel sure that, if our plans materialize,
the students will enjoy this year's pro
gram even more than they did last fall,'
stated Bob Perry, chairman of that
group. In.st Monday.
The committee is planning to present
many outstanding speakers for the pro
gram, and entertainment on the lighter
side will also be provided.

“Forward 'With Books" — forward
througli .science, travel, beauty, dis-
covor.v, and through tlie making of a
new nation—this is the theme of Na
tional Book week, which will be ob
served throughout the Fnited States
(luring the entire week of November 2-8.
This year, as in previous times, li])ra-
ries throughout the nation will inaugu
rate plans for promoting the reading of
good l)ooks, not only for pleasure, but
for the reawakening of a l>ook-minded
people. In addition the building of an
impregnalde defense against the enemies
of man through books will bo stressed
(‘inpliatically this year.
To Have Parly
In the Senior high library, the school
librarian, Jlrs. Beatrice Ilall, and her
library assistants have planned a group
of activities in celebration of the affair.
New books will be put on the shelves
for the lirst time during the week;
posters advising the students as to re-
c(Mit additions to the library will be dis
played : a party for :i(j select (Hi students
will highlight the activities; and a
(•Impel program will bo given.
"Book w(H‘k comes this year at a time
when people’s thoughts are turned, not
toward tlie naiding of constructive and
(>nt(‘rtaining books, but towards the
serious trouble that confronts the na
tions of the world.” Jlrs. Hall declared •
today in annonneing (he national event.
“However. I liojie that during tlie week
boys and girls at Senior I-iigh will stop
and take notice of the wonderful opiior-
Innities which their school library holds
for them, and I hope tlmt they will
gain an apiUH’ciation of it by using it
more often." she concluded.
Students are urgml to s(‘e the large
poster which students of Miss Henrietta
Lee's art classes nmd(‘ showing the
spirit of Book week. ’Fliis ])oster can bo
seen at any time on the Imlletin botird,
:\Irs. Hall .said.
Ladies Not at Leisure
or
Smile for the Birdie
Silence reigned in the third-year home
economics class. Not a soul stirred.
Members of the cliiss were stniined by
the great news—they were to have their
pictures taken! Their dreams of lie-
coming models were in the first stages
of realization!
The wonderful news was that Dame
.Fortune was at last smiling upon them.
Or at least Mr. Fortune, science teacher
at C'entral, was coming to record their
lovely faces on film! Fainstakingly
they primped: not a single detail must
be overlooked; every Imir must be in
place: their make-np must be flawless.
At last the great moment arrived:
Fortune and lii.s camera were ready.
Putting on their liest smiles the girls
awaited the click of the shutter. But
there was no click: something was
•rong. Tlum clouds of despair descended
upon tlui group. Wiping away a tear,
the students olxwed the insrrnctions (if
their photograpbPV
cooking equipment and aprons. For
the truth was that a group pictuve of
them at work—not just their gi'acious
countenances—was wanted lor a dis-
,play at the North Garoliiia Education
meeting at Woman's college.
