GUSHER HND BETH PHI BHIHIHH Eta Chapter of Beta Phi Gamma, national junior college journalistic society, was organized in 1934 for the purpose of promoting interest in journalistic endeavor. During this year ten pledges were inducted into the order. A party was held after the first initiation ceremony on March 29, and a dinner was given in connection with the second initiation. On April 25 Mr. Robert M. Clarke entertained the group with a Sunday breakfast. Oflicers for the year were Meriem Kness, president, Cordon Graham, secretary, Roy K. Stave, treasurer. Miss Alma H. Steininger and Mr. Robert M. Clarke, Jr., were elected co-advisers of the organization. Although there were only seven J. C. students Working on the Gusher at the beginning of the year, Adell Johnson, Junior College editor, and her staff put out a section which merited the enthusiastic support of the Whole student body. ln the second semester the style of the paper was changed for the first time since its founding. With the assistance of Mr. William Evans, Gusher adviser, an eight-column sheet was presented to the school, proving an imme- diate success. . BETA PHI GAMMA jach, Steininger, Kness, Evans.
