Royal Order of Knights of Blue Circle In the fall of 1927 when the weather was bad and the boys of the Dormitory were getting tired of being couped up, in a spirit of fun, five inmates as charter members, organized the Royal Order of Knights of the Blue Circle. These Charter members were Gene Youell, Merrill Youell, Frank Pinkston, Bob Manley, and Paul Ely. The organization was met with cries of joy as it was a way of spend' ing dull evenings at the Dormitory. The first year all boys in the Dormitory were initiated into the organ' ization. The second year all but a few were taken in. The third year some outside the Dormitory were admitted. There are seventeen active members this year. The organization stands for fun and a good time, and they live up to it by having meetings, initiations, and banquets. The initiation of new members is looked forward to with great anticipation, and as the initiation is harmless and full of fun the new member gets as big a kick out of it as the old members. Although starting out as a fun organization it has been the hopes of the members to develop it into an organization of the college, and to work for the good of the college. l-l.l'l.l.l-ll.l-l
