The club for the scholastic Joes and Janes at P.J.C. is the Beta Zeta Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa, the National Junior College Honor Society. The chapter of the intelligentsia was established at P.J.C. in i932 and has been very prominent in campus activities. For the last four consecutive years, the distinguished service cup has been awarded to members of the club at the commencement exercises. This term has been most successful both scho- lastically and socially. The ball was started roll- ing with the annual box supper. Soon thereafter, Smart Set T i the members and their guests were given a din- ner at the college. Another of the club's lighter moments was the sponsoring of the bingo parlor at the Hallowe'en Carnival. On the serious side was the impressive initiation of its new members and the national convention of the Phi Theta Kappa held in Wichita Falls on February 28. To be a member of this elite club, a student must maintain an average of 90? or more dur- ing the first half of his Freshman year, or bring his average up to that standard by mid-term of his Sophomore year.
