P. T. K. Members S mbolized Phronimon, Thucmos and Katharotes One hundred and twenty-seven students, the largest number in Westark history, received invitations to join the Phi Theta Kappa honor society this year. Phi Theta Kappa, an organization which yearly recognizes students who demonstrated academic achievement, held its initiation ceremonies March 9 in the Fullerton Union. The initiation was a candlelight ceremony in which inductees recited the organizations pledge and signed the official register. Membership requirements were a 3.5 grade point average and full-time student status. Westarkis Zeta Epsilon chapter was organized in 1948 making it the second oldest Phi Theta Kappa chapter in the state. Students cited for the honor were accorded the three Greek words of phronimon, thuemos and katharotes which are interpreted as wisdom, aspiration and purity. Phi Theta Kappa served exclusively as an honor society having no activities otherthan the initiationg however, members were recognized at the annual Awards Day ceremony. Faye Jones was the group's president. Patricia Dickinson and Deborah Boone were the vice president and secretary, respectively.
