T Club initiation is one of the highlights of the year, with initiates being made to do Whatever the members tell them to. Between the hard work and time put in to earn a TH sweater, and the good-natured hazing just before the initiation, membership into the club is con- sidered one of the biggest honors a boy can earn. T Club President John Knoll was elected in the fall along with Bill Roberts, Vice-Presi- dent, and Dean Smith, Secretary. Faculty Sponsor is D. L. Erwin.
