K. Club The P. K. Club is one of the most exclusive clubs on the hill. It is the Preachers ' Kids club and if one measures up to the requirements it is very easy to get in and a welcome is extended. It is the only club in our college with which your family, what they have done, and their standing, has anything to do. All the other clubs you get in on your own merit, but unless your daddy has been or is a preacher you absolutely cannot gain admitt ance to this club. No matter what one does or how good she is, it is impossible to make this club unless you measure up to the requirements, so this is indeed a select group.

The purpose of this club is to organize these girls into a strong group and also to aid them in becoming better ac- quainted. The club has meetings but it seems to stress the social side of life more than anything else. The town girls add a great deal to the college. In fact, it is from this group that Davenport gets some of her best and most popular students.
