The national honorary fraternity of the depart- ment is Pi Omega Pi. To be eligible for membership in this organization, a scholastic index of not less than seventy-five and twenty hours of credit in com- merce and education is required of a student. Practical experience is being obtained by Deloris Ellis, Janina Whitamore and Jackie Hamer, students of the office machines class. 21
