Green Jackets Observe
Fifteenth Birthday
Students to Keep
Election Watch
The Green Jackets celebrated
their fifteenth birthday with a
party honoring the faculty after
classes recently. Lois Wilkins,
president, gave a short history of
the club and presented Mrs. Merle
Glass, sponsor of the group since
its organization, with a green and
white corsage.
Since the party, Mrs. Glass has
received an honor worthy of her
being sponsor of the campus ser-
vice organization. She has been
named Woman of the year of
Panola County Altrusa Club. Mrs.
Glass, a charter member of the
fifteen-year-old club and president
of the club in the past, was chosen
from 25 ladies on the basis of her
contributions to the various activi-
ties of service to the people of
Panola County, the members of
the Altrusa Club, and students
and faculty of Panola College.
She will lead the Green Jackets
in the activities of the club in-
cluding the Christmas Formal,
Valentine Party, and the Mother-
Daughter Tea. Shirley Broadway,
vice-president, made a wish at the
birthday party that the Green
Jackets could be of better ser-
vice to the students and faculty
of Panola College than any pre-
vious group.
Other members of the Green
Jackets present at the birthday
party were Karen Cook, Pat
Franks, Charlotte Perry, Pat
Rowland, Mary Sue Blevins, Car-
ole Brock, Linda Mace, Cheryl
Case, and Sherry Young.

Officials Survey
Library Plants
According to PC President, Mr.
Baker, several members of the
PC administration have journey-
ed to colleges in the vicinity re-
cently to inspect various libraries.
The idea behind the trips is to get
the best ideas from other libraries
incorporated into tentative plans
for PC.
President Baker explained that
plans are being drawn up for two
other buildings-science and art-
-to precede the new library
building.
Construction on the new build-
ings should begin either in the
spring of the 1964-65 school year
or autumn of the 1965-66 school
year.
Making the trips to Lon Morris,
Jacksonville; Henderson County
Junior College, Athens; Navarro
Junior College, Corsicana, Paris
were Dean Williamson, Mrs. Joy-
ce Chapman, librarian; Mr. Ar-
thur Johnson, Registrar, and
president Baker.
Mrs. Chapman commented,
“Our PJC library contains al-
most 10,000 volumes. The librar-
ies we have been touring have
approximately the same amount
and type of books that we have;
the only difference is that they
have more space for both their
books and for student research
and studying. We have found
some excellent ideas that we
hope to make realities for PJC
students as soon as possible.”

plan to hold pep rallies ik the SUB
and organize a pep squad. The
cheerleaders have chosen green
jumpers with green checked
blouses as their uniform.
Others trying out were Sandra
Elliot, Judy Clabaugh, Janis Wil-
liams, Susan Moore, Gladys Mote-
ly, and Jennifer Riley.
