0 3 el In our efforts to acknowledge athletic, dramatic, and journalistic activities, as well as similarly deserving organizations, we must not, by neglect or shortsightedness, omit the Order of the Purple. This local honor society affords scholastic recognition to the deserving students. The local chapter was granted a charter in May, 1937, by the Junior Col- lege Student Council. Rules and regulations which apply to Junior Col- lege students are briefly set forth herein ; they should undoubtedly prove themselves of interest to all ambitious scholars. The name is properly, Order of the Purple. Membership is bas- ed exclusively upon scholarship, service, leadership, and character. No more than fifteen per cent of the total number of qualified graduates of that particular year may be chosen. Election of these graduates is deter- mined by members of the faculty, and the Student Council, during the quarter preceding graduation. The vote is by secret ballot, after the qualifications of the respective candidates have been thoroughly discussed. Minimum requirements include a grade point average of two or more, one full year ' s enrollment at El Dorado Junior College, and com- pletion of twelve hours ' work each semester (excepting illness or similar circumstances). Seven graduating sophomores will be elected this year to the Order of the Purple. As the yearbook goes to press, twelve students are eligible for election. Their names follow, arranged in order of scholarship from highest to lowest: Eugene Fowler, Bruce Hanson, Eleanor McHarg, Ed Bare, Marcella Jack, Ross Wheeler, Nancy Jane Berry, Olin Stansbury, Carl Haymes, Richard Haynes, Joan Murray, and Mary Garcia. Eugene Fowler is valedictorian of the class, and Bruce Hanson is salutatorian. An interesting fact is that in the high school class of 1943, these two students won the same honors. 12
