Every time I sit down to a typewriter and write something like this,
the last in a series of columns, I get
sort of soft and sentimental thinking
over all the mean things I've written
about people and how truly repent-
ent I should feel; so, if during the
year I have embarrassed anybody or
insulted him, I really am sorry. . . .
There,   I   feel   nobler  already.
Ho-Hum
Maybe these boys who made Phi
Theta Kappa aren't so smart after all.
Last Thursday night when the organization started out on the annual
picnic, all the boys stayed in front of
the Baptist Church and played baseball while the girls sat on the school-
house steps and softly cursed the
boys for leaving them there alone.
To me, that seems a very poor way
to start out on a picnic, almost as
bad as taking something along to eat.
Ho-Hum
Wimpy Tarara is visiting in the
village during his summer vacation
before returning to Notre Dame to
the fall term which begins the last of
May. While here he composed several new verses, each verser than the
first and none of which is fit to
print, but we shall include one of the
better ones in this week's column;
here it comes:
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Sugar is rationed,
How about you?
—You're so sweet."
Ho-Hum
Before I run out of space, I want
to extend the glad-hand to those
forty-odd fortunate individuals who
are going to graduate—the lucky
stiffs. I hope the girls all get good
jobs, and I'll see the boys in the army.
Ho-Hum
'bye, everbody.

Add Zest to Prom
Flowers, formals, and fun—the J.C.
Prom is over. Held Friday night, May
15, the 1942 prom was as big a success as any the college has ever had.
About a hundred couples attended
the affair, all in formal dress, of
course, which made the atmosphere
enjoyably different from ordinary
dances with boys wearing sweaters,
and girls flats and anklets. Bright
formals were everywhere—swishing
on the dance floor and rustling on
the dark terrace.
Since the attendance was large
enough to make the hall rather more
than comfortably crowded, the terrace enjoyed a great deal of popularity. The punch table,  manned by \ ga
Dr. T. V.  Smith,  professor of philos
ophy at the University of Chicagol +he graduating dass w
will give the commencement address
on the subject of "Discipline for
Democracy." Dr. Smith, one of the
founders of the University of Chicago, is one of the outstanding lecturers of the country, and Rochester
is fortunate in having him as speaker
for the junior college and the high
school commencement.
The graduating class and the faculty will march in academic procession from the Coffman Building to
the Central Auditorium. Dean Goddard will present the class for graduation, and the diplomas will be
awarded by Mr. Jesse H. DeWitz.
Mr. Rosa, superintendent of schools,
will preside.
After the graduation ceremonies
on Thursday, a reception will be
given  by the  Phi Theta   Kappa  and
John Christianson, was also kept busy
all evening.
Everyone enjoyed dancing to the
music of Ray Alderson and his orchestra. Otto Wilkie, R.H.S. graduate
of '41 and now a member of Aider-
son's band, played a super-special
drum solo for all his friends here in
J.C. and got as big a hand as Gene '•
Krupa would have.

NEW CURRICULA
FOR NEXT YEAR
Next year the school curriculum
will undergo a number of changes to
meet the demands of the emergency.
The medical secretarial course and
the terminal business course will be
the most greatly affected.
In the medical secretarial department, the incoming freshmen will
discover there will be an increase in
the English requirement. These freshmen will take English AC, a five
credit course, including both composition and literature. Instead of being
required to take German, they may
select Spanish, German, or French
as a foreign language.
The sophomore medical secretaries
will take Advanced English Composition unless they have a high enough
test rating in English, in whcih case
they may elect Psychology. The typing requirement will be reduced to
two credits each year instead of two
and one half credits. They will continue Medical German.
