Second row-Betty Carden, Sally Best, Betty Jo Spann, Sharon Cooper, Paul Rule. . ,i X The Beta Club,.which is composed of Seniors and Juniors, is an honorary society that accepts members on a basis of character, leadership and achievement. Un- like most clubs, students do not know they are to be members until they are tapped at one of the Beta Club assemblies, usually twice each year. Although the Beta Club is an honorary club, it is also an active group. This year they sponsored the Home- coming Dance in cooperation with the Student Coopera- tive Association. It was a success and proved to be a fitting climax to the Homecoming celebration. At Christmas, the Betas helped needy families through their canned food collection and brought cheer through Cl gift to a student who had been homebound for sev- eral months. fs .cb 'ID F '
