" Scribblers Club
The Scribbler#’ club, while not so
large as some of the organizations
connected with New Hanover High
school, is surely as vigorous as any.
it begins the year with all members
thoroughly interested and ready to
"scribble” with renewed energy on
ideas stored up during vacation.
Allthough not yet a year old the
club, it is felt, has already justified
its existence. In this school ,as in
every school, are some students who
find genuine joy In self expression
through writing, as others do through
music or dramatics. It was for the
pleasure and profit of such students
that the Scribblers’ club came into ex
istence. Only those who combine orig
inality o fideas with a fair ability to
express these ideas In clear Eng .*! '
are admitted to. membership. while
all students are given an opportunity
to develop talent in the class rooms,
there is something in the atmosphere
of a congenial group of confirmed
scribblers that adds zest to their ef
forts. Some of the productions do,
perhaps, prove to be ^merely efforts,
as one member so aptly expresses it;
yet no program so far has failed to
produce verse, story or sketch of un
usual merit.
As to subjects and styles, there are
as many varieties as members.
member gives charming P’antatlon
sketches; the club president delights
with most original plots and O. Honry
endings to her stories. One of the best
writers entertains with vividly realistic
stories of small boys. (She has broth
ers it is understood), ^nd one mem
ber complains that everything ne
writes takes a humorous twist in spite
of his efforts to maintain dignity.
Just now the club is quite proud o.
the fact that it is actually within sight
of that goal toward which all scrib
blers, young and old, eagerly press
publication.
The Gleam, a magazine of verse for
young people, will shortly publish a
poem by the club secretary, Robbins
Fowler. As The Gleam has published
verse from some ot the largest high
schools of the country, from Los An
cles to New York, it is felt that the
cribblers are thus proved equal to the
est of high school writers.
Miss Leonora Watv®. of the English
epartment, originated the Scribblers'
lub, and as its adviser has given to
he members a sympathetic guidance
that has been an inspiration to un
usually successful effort. Miss Watts
came to the New Hanover High school
two years ago and is considered a dis
tinct addition to the teaching force.
Phc is a graduate of the University of
Illinois and for a number of years be
fore coming here was head of the Eng
lish department of Taylorsville high
school, in Taylorsville, Ills.
The officers of the Scribblers’ club
follow: President, Wilmer Kuck; sec
retary. Robbins, Fowler, and adviser,
Miss Watts. The members are Clara
Brantley, Eleanor Dudley, Dorothy
Edwards, Robbins Fowler, Frank Hall,
Wilmer Kuck, Beniamin Napier, Jessie

R. C. Cantwell, Jr., and Mrs. 'Eugene

This convention will be one of the

Mrs. W. R. Hays was elected chair

Where Quality Counts
There are some little necessary things in life which—to
be in good taste—must be done in a manner that betokens
a personal touch, if not, then the purpose is defeated. Take
for instance the sending of Christmas Cards—
% Who is it that reads the forme of expressing good will
shown thereon and how this applies to the recipient of the
card?
' Or, what does your friend think when he or she receives
from you a cheaply printed “color scheme" with a jumble
of stilted phrases on it? Either that you picked up the first
bargain counter thing that you could find or that you really
did not mind very much what you were sending. If more
attention were given to the matter of buying Christmas
Cards it certainly would give your friends more pleasure
to receive them. , ■■ ■
We have seen Christmas Cards that had been kept for
years, simply because they were artistic gems coupled with
delicately expressed wishes for happiness.
No house in this country has given greater attention to
the production of these cards than the J. P. Stevens Engrav
ing Co., of Atlanta, Ga., and the samples which they exhibit
this year show a wonderful variety of designs and great
superiority in harmony of color as well as mechanical ex
cellence. Now is the time'to order them before the rush
comes on.
