CO-ED CLUB Since its beginning, several years after the establish- ment of Thornton Junior College, the purpose of the Co-ed Club has been to promote fellowship among its members. This is probably the outstanding reason why the group is very important in the social life of the college. The club is organized in a unique manner, con- sisting of seven sororities — Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon, Gamma, Kappa, and Zeta. Four officers, seven sorority leaders, and various committee chairmen constitute the governing body of the club. Under the guidance of the Dean of Women, Miss Grace Holton, the Club provides many projects for the women at TJC. Among activities of the Co-ed Club are teas, dinners, and the most anticipated event of the social year, the Staggette. Services include the selling of sweatshirts, stationery, pens, and pencils. Another service appreciated by students is the kitchenette in the Union Room, where a wide variety of foods, ranging from sandwiches to candy bars, is served. . ty 4+ 4 at se Mreawaee ipa a Officers: Beth Pearson, treasurer; Barbara Mar- quardt, secretary; Goldie Cochrane, president; Elva Wolf, vice-president.
