Wonderland with top students Bob Boyer, Larry Osborne, Susan CLUBS When JeFlerson College opened in September, the students found no ready- made social organizations into which they could nestle comfortably. During the first semester, the students, busy adjusting to the extra study required for college work, relied on mixers planned by the Student Senate for their social activity. The second semester, however, opened with a bustle of organizational activity. An honorary fraternity, Phi Theta Kappa, sponsored by the librarian, Annie Rae Gray, was quickly formed to include honpr students. A dramatics club, organized by Dave Williams, soon followed. Then Betty Stromberg organized a college chapter of the state Young Democrats Club. Students soon discovered that clubs offered them an opportunity to relax from study, to learn through participation, and to gain experience in fields outside the curriculum. As club follows club, Jefferson College will develop a firm foundation of extra-curricular organizations. 69
