In a candlelight initiation service conducted by president Patsy Claussen, eight new members were initiated into Texarkana College Blue Jackets.
The new Blue Jackets are Sarah Carson, Pam Kennedy, Debbie Brown, Sandra McLeroy, Mary Lou Cox, Vicki Skelton, Connie Owens, and Linda Shaddock.
Dean Bill Hughes, special guest speaker, spoke to the group on “What Blue Jackets Really Is.” He mentioned what it means to be a vital part of a service organization that promotes such high ideals as honor and service.
“This is a young woman’s civic organization which makes an unusual contribution toward the enrichment of college life,” stated Hughes.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the new members were presented their blue jackets—in order for them to join the tradition of wearing the blue jacket uniform every Thursday.
