KAPPA BETA PI Election of new officers was the first thing on the calendar for the members of Kappa Beta Pi. At their first meeting, which was held in the junior college room, the following officers were elected: Hubert Marsh, president; Albert Houle, vice-president; Richard Price, secretary- treasurer; and Tommy McGill, reporter. Mr. James G. Saied was selected to serve the club as sponsor for the year. Kappa Beta Pi is enjoying its second year as a social fraternity for boys of the El Reno Junior College. During the latter week of October, the members and their dates spent a hilarious evening hayrack riding.” In November, the members again entertained their dates at a dance in the Officers’ Club. While the club has entertained dates on numerous occasions, it has also indulged in several of those rip-roaring stag parties. As the name Kappa Beta Pi signifies, the club’s motto is Knowledge Brings Power.” The club attained its greatest membership in the 1941-42 term with a total of 18 members.

TES TRAMS The Tes Trams started its journey down the year 1941-42 with three successful years behind it. This club was organized at the beginning of the 1938-39 term as a social club for the girls of the El Reno Junior College and has become increasingly beneficial to its members. The first meeting of the year was held in the junior college room of the high school building and the following officers were elected: President. Miss Geraldine Lambert; vice-nresident. Miss Doris Van Fleet; secretary. Miss Re- becia Rice; treasurer, Miss Lois Baucom; and reporter. Miss Feliece McGill. Miss Ann Noble was elected to serve the club as sponsor for the 1941-42 term. The club has progressed this year through a series of interesting meetings, socials, and trips. The first social of the year was a reception given by the jnembers for the freshman girls of the college. Miss Pauline Bruce later entertained the members and prospective pledges with a rush party in her home. The annual Christmas party was held in the home of Miss Louise Spears. On January 20. the group trekked to Oklahoma City to take in the town.” After a luncheon dinner, the girls enjoyed a current stage play “Claudia” which was presented at the Shrine audi- torium. Initiation was held the last week of February; a picnic was enjoyed the first of May, and the year's activities were terminated with a dance sponsored by the parents of the members.

C H I E FTA I N S The El Reno Junior College Chieftains started their 1941-42 basketball season with five players from last year’s team, two players from last year's high school team, and other recruits picked up around the school. The returning players were Raymond Wagner, A1 Mongold, Aldean Thompson. Willie Haile, and Kenneth Flagler. The two additions from the high school team were Joe Mongold and Roy Hahn. The other players were Jimmy Canon, Bob Woodhouse, Clifford Whiteman, and Floyd Martin. Due to transportation difficulties, the team was only able to schedule four Mistletoe Conference games; two with Okmulgee and the other two with Seminole. However, the Chieftains scheduled games with local teams and the Will Rogers Air Base of Oklahoma City. The Chieftains, under Coach Ross Cubbage, made their debut of the new season a glorious one by soundly thump- ing a Fort Reno team, 39 to 9. Several of the following games were not so enjoyable for the team, because Lady Luck did not throw her approval on the Chieftains as often as they would have liked to have her do so. There was no state junior college tournament this year due to the fact that several junior colleges have abandoned basketball, because of the transportation diffi- culties. and also, because of the lack of interest exhibited by some junior colleges who do have teams. The season’s record shows five wins and seven losses, but if jobs and Uncle Sam hadn’t called to some of the players, it would have been a much rosier season.
