Tau Alpha Pi
Selects Initiates
The Tau Alpha Pi Honor Society, which is a National Scholastic Honor Society for terminal
vocational students, was organized in the spring of 1948 at
Trinidad State Junior College.
The name Tau Alpha Pi was chosen because the first letters of the
Greek words stand for "Theory
and Practice" Which are symbolic
of vocational students training.
The student learns the theory of
a trade and then puts it into
practice.

the leadership of Miss Ruth

planned for April 24, to decide
on the initiation date, and at a
later date officers will be chosen.
