This society is officially called Order of the Purple,- and the local chapter was granted its charter in May, 1937. No more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class may be chosen in a particular year. Election of these graduates is by secret ballot of the faculty and the student council, after a thorough discussion of the qualifi- cations of the candidates. Minimum requirements include a grade point average of two or more, one full year ' s enrollment at El Dorado Junior College, and the completion of twelve hours ' work each semester. This year the following students were honored by election to the Order of the Purple: Barbara Bowyer, Betty Jo Locke, George Harper, Beth DeLong, Howard Knaussman, Fred Doornbos, Richard Alley, Jack Barr, Frank Hall, and Velma Wheeler.

L jleskwien L. D. Golike, President Jean Shepherd, Vice-President Since no organization can successfully carry out its functions with- out a little supervision by officers, the Freshman Class of ' 47- ' 48 held an election. We chose L. D. Golike as president, Jim Frisby as vice-president, and Jean Shepherd as secretary-trasurer. Since we were lowly freshmen, the mighty sophomores initiated us in the fall. All the freshies could be seen carrying the sophomores ' books, wearing clothes backwards, or pushing peanuts down the hall. After class that day we all went to the hill east of town to whitewash the letters, E. J. C. Next year many of us will be given a chance to take our revenge on the freshmen of ' 48- ' 49. Our class, as well as the school as a whole, was deeply saddened by the sudden death of our vice-president, Jim Frisby, who was a favorite of the entire student body.
