‘ We may say here that those of us who have persued old editions of the Quill are eagerly awaiting this year‘s copy, having been told that it will equal or surpass the excellent ediâ€" tions of the past. For some days now signs (extremâ€" ¢ly colourful and professional â€" by Randall McInnis, we hear) have augâ€" ured the publication of ‘"The Quill" â€"the first School Yearâ€"Book at THH. VS. in some twelve years. Although the machinery for such a venture has been proceeding slowly â€" Mr. Fennell, Advisory Teacher, asâ€" sures us that it is nevertheless a sure thing for smooth functioning. Several difficulties are being hurdled, includâ€" ing the price at which it is to be sold â€" 50¢c. Similar school magazines sell Fifty'cents is not much to grumble at â€" many flashâ€"inâ€"the pan popular magazines cost two bits or more. And the pleasure they can give is but a transient thing. When you buy a "Quill", you buy a chronicle of everâ€" green memoirs, a trove of experiences encountered in the most precious perâ€" iod of your life â€" your youth. For the value, the price is trivial. No,. there is usually an abundance ol topics to be aired around that pile of brick down on Kent and Preston. (Sometimes the bricks aren‘t the only roughâ€"faced objects to be seen either). And we hope to off some copy for you on these said subjects. â€" muchâ€"pubkcized, forthâ€" coming year book, The Porcupine Quill. The top man of the Quill staff, Mr. Fennell has kindly given us the following "dope".on the Quill which is now making its comeâ€"back with the initial edition since some years. â€" 50¢c,. Similat at $1.00. You know. writing a column can be pretty tiresome work â€" if you have to grovel around for material and your topics are inclined to be dull â€" but that is not the case (most of the time!}» for this tyro. To get the traditon of a school magâ€" azine reâ€"established, several former students have been more than genâ€" erous in the interest they have shown in this yvear‘s Quill. The photography is donated by Mr. Ken Tompkinson and the printing is under the personal supervision of Mr. Mert Lake, These two ‘Old Boys‘ of T.H. V.S. have set a school spirit for the Quill staff that has encouraged and inspired them in this new, strange task of putting out a yearâ€"book. To sell the book at the low price has required two things. The staff on the advertising have had to be especâ€" ially active. Doris Griener and her eohorts have already reached their objective in thfs field under the guidâ€" ance of another alumnus, Mr. Carrier of the Timmins High stafl. Margaret â€" Robb, editorâ€"inâ€"chief, wishes that the Quill‘s stafl‘s troubles were over with the collection of picâ€" tures, articles and money.

At the present, in addition to his many other duties, he is training his English classes in practical journalâ€" ism by having them publish mimeoâ€" graphed class papers. Just as Mr. Clark trains his younger playéfs with an eye to the future, so is Mr. Fenâ€" nell preparing and guiding those who will in the next few years be our best writers, salesmen and editors. This N‘ That Kathy Murray‘s sixteenth birthday, party last Friday was quite the gala aflair,; according to report from "an innocent bystander". The party, with some thirty odd participants, was held at the Gulich Chalet, and surroundâ€" ings. The chaperones for the evenâ€" ing were Mrs. Murray, Loe Murray and Mrs. McNeil. po Representing the older age bracket was Batry Brewer. The younger elâ€" ment was there ‘"en masse" however. Among these were Kathy Murray and Bob Kemball ‘<of course), June Avery and Lorne Taylor (they say June wanted to take the long way home, but this is probably an . unfounded rumour) Merle Marsh and Ken Thomâ€" as, Sonny Clutchey and Diane Lloyd, Patsy Brewer and Norm Lillie. During the evening (don‘t get exâ€" Cited, now) there were a balloon dance (that‘s balloon, not bubble, Walter) a spot dance, and contests of one kind or another. The spot dance was won by Patsy Brewer and Norm Lillie, not surprising at all, and the jitterbug contest was won by Ken Thomas and Merle Marsh. Miss Kathy was presented with a Kodak camera by her "gang" and the party wound up as a terrific sucâ€" cess, _ _And what we need around this town is more girls like Kathleen Murray â€" sweet, unaffected and charming.

The hero is from Ottumwa, Iowa. By name Hal Walker, Now we‘re oft: He turned up in the lemon groves determined to attach himself to a studio payroll. But something was wrong with the connection and he didn‘t attach. Finally he was licked. But he didn‘t have enough money to get back to Ottumwa, so he wrote to a friend asking him for a loan. With the letter in his pocket, he started out to find a mail box. As he was passâ€" ing the Brown Derby restaurant a car up and Edward H. Griffith got out. A director! Hal Walker had watched the picâ€" tures by Edward Griffith; knew a good deal about them, but he had never spoken to him. As Hal Walker saw that car slither into the parking lot, he got an idea. He wanted to meet Griffith, the diâ€" rector.. But he had to have some exâ€" party afterwards. Wonder if it made a lasting impression on either of them? The Iroquois Falls Ski Team came to Timmins last, Sunday in a charâ€" tered bus. They were taken to the Gulch Chalet where some embarked for Kamiscotia in Jules Baderski‘s Â¥ruck to enjoy the faster runs there. The group, some twentyâ€"six in numâ€" ber, reassembled at the Gulch Chalet for supper, after which they were shown movies taken of the local club when down at the Falls earlier this year. After a few hours of dancing and skiing they returned to the Falls about 7:30. We notice Bernie Youlten â€" and Jackie Marsh walking to school toâ€" gether every so often.

So to the restaurant kitchen he went, borrowed a towel from an emâ€" ployee, then went out and got to work on the director‘s car. He made the job last until lunch was over â€" and how that car shone‘ When Griffith came out. there was Walker working on the car as if it were a lady‘s wrist watch. Griffith saw him, reached into his pocket for a coin. But the inâ€" dustrious Mr. Walker shook his head and said, "No, thanks, â€"Mr. Griffith." Griffith, the director, glanced in surâ€" prise at this man who was able to call him by name, and said: "How do you happen to know my name?" "I‘ve watched your pictures, and I‘ve studied them carefully." Griffith‘s full attention now centered on Hal Walker, who added, "The title of your next picture is so and so."" There had been no pubâ€" licity about this picture, so Griffith was even more surprised. He said: "Get in and take a ride with me." Then Griffith drew him out on his knowledge of pictures and got him a job as an extra. This was the first time Walker had ever been inside a studio. He rose in business, not as an actor, but as a director. He directâ€" ed ‘"‘The Stork Club," ‘"Dufly‘s Tavâ€" ern," "Out of This World," and more recently, "*The Road to Utopia."
