Everyone was knocked for a loop last year when nine boys and one girl obtained membership to the Phi Theta Kappa. However, this year the fairer sexi' came back into their own when five girls and two boys became eligible for member- ship. ' Because of the wartime condi- tions, the drafting of the chapter room, and the losing of their be- loved sponsor, Miss Lillian Case- bolt, the Phi Theta Kappa social activities were cut down. However, both pledges and members enjoyed a lovely banquet at the school cafe- teria followed by the impressive initiation, The annual convention was to be held in Columbia, Missouri this year. All of the members were packed to go, when because of transportation difficulties the con- vention was changed into an execu- tive meeting. , However, the Junior College Chapter did have a representative, as Elbert Stringer was the national president for this year. First Row: Hartman Rector, Miss Lil- lian Casebolt, Arthur Schwab. Second Row: Carl Baker, Thomas En- wright, Elbert Stringer. As the quotation goes, Music has charms to soothe the savage beast. VVhat is good enough for beasts ought to be good enough for anyone, so this year under 'the able direction of Mr. Ellis there was formed a girls' chorus to provide said Music. The organization has been func- tioning all year and has improved greatly both in sound and size. Mr. Ellis came to us this year from the Lone Star State and has made quite a Star', of himself, di- recting our musical organizations. The girls have sung for both Civic and Religious groups and their se- lections range from popular tok re- ligious songs. So here's congratulations to both you, Mr. Ellis, and to you, the mem- bers of the Girls' Chorus. First Row: Jean Rainey, Roberta Lynch, Estalene Lloyd, Eleanor Anderson, Pansy Mahan, Betty Zook, Mar- jorie Brockway. Second Row: Mr. Merrill Ellis, Phyllis Bloom, Patty Payne, Crystal Phelps Dottie Wilson. SEVENTY-FIVE

'fzi The International Relations Club organization, which is VVorld Wide in scope, is carried on under the auspices of the Carnegie Endow- ment for International Peace, which as its name suggests has dedicated itself to the now ironic task of maintaining world peace. Each year this Endowment presents us with some twenty books dealing, this year, with the causes of the present war and also appealing to the demo- cracies to demonstrate power and leadership in the direction of Post VVar reconstruction o-f this battered world. This organization boasts of some 1210 groups scattered through every state in the union and in foreign countries. Programs for these meetings con- sist of debates, round table discus- sions and addresses by guest speak- ers. VVe were fortunate enough for one of our meetings this year to have an Ensign of the Naval Air Corps, who had just returned from the sunken Hornet, to give us the underscored picture of the laps and the battles of Guadalcanal.
