Phi iheta Kappa Beta Omega, which was organized in 1933, is the only chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa established in Kansas. The Phi Theta Kappa is the official National Hon- or Fraternity of Junior Colleges and its objects are to promote scholarship, to de- velop character, and to cultivate fellow- ship among the students. Requirements for membership are high, and eligibility is based on character and scholarship. At the beginning of the year Phi Theta Kappa had only two members. These were Nadine Dyer and Norma A-nold. But the membership increased at the close of the first semester when Georgeanne Jenkins, Joycelyn Thomas, and Glen Hack master were pledged to membership. Mr. Eldon Smith is the organization ' s faculty advisor. Page 27

Student Gouncil Student government has long been es- tablished in the principles of college life all over the United States and, in spite of the decreased enrollment of the junior college, the college student council con- tinued to function throughout the school year. The constitution of the council was adopted in 1934 and it provides that this representative group draw its membership from the three main groups of the school — freshman and sophomore classes, and the administration. The principle activity of this year ' s student council was the sponsoring of the college assemblies and parties. The first semester council included Georgeanne Jenkins, president; Leon Brinkmeyer, vice-president ; Betty Bro- thers, secretai ' y-treasurer ; Jo Ann Ellis, sergeant-at-arms ; Marcia Drake, fresh- man commissioner ; and Nadine Dyer, sophomore commissioner. The second semester coucil was made up of Betty Brothers, president ; Doralee Kessinger, vice-president ; Carol Rogers, secretary-treasurer; Jim Baker, sergeant- at-arms ; Marguerite Shaw, freshman commissioner; and Lois Wilson, sopho- more commissioner. Jocelyn Thomas is freshman class pres- ident and Norma Arnold as sophomore class president served on both councils. Mr. Cinotto is the sponsor of the group.

The Young Women ' s Christian Asso- ciation was composed of a group of five girls and their sponsor, Miss Fern Old. The officers of the organization were Carol Rogers, president; Doralee Kessin- ger, vice-president ; JoAnn Ellis, secji ' e- tary; and Beatrice Riggs, treasurer. Meetings were held onoe every two weeks during the hour in the cafeteria. Although handicapped by a compara- tively small membership, the Y. W. C. A. was very active in school affairs. During the month of planned Bible reading, the Y. W. C. A. took charge of the services for one week. In February the club held a Heart Sister week which was climaxed by a weiner roast at the Lone Chief cabin. Page 28
