Profits from these projects are to be used to buy a completenew band uniform.On the lighter side, the Betas were entertained by the Oolitic Betas at Oolitic High School, and theyhave enjoyed a weiner roast at Friendly Inn, McCormick’s Creek State Park. Other social events areplanned for this year also.The Beta Club is in competition with no educational system or organization; its purposes are: toassist teachers and students to consummate the end and aim of all true education--which is mentalenlargment and character development; and to encourage and reward crediable achievement.FRONT ROW: Loettea Humphrey, Fred Wells, Jackie Dickens.
