Swim-Gym Party
Is Splashy Success
It can be truthfully said that on
Thursday night, January 9th, a
big splash was made in the High
School swimming pool. The J. C.
swimming and gym party was a
wet affair, but the spirits were far
from damp. A good turnout of
girls, and a better turnout of boys
showed up in bathing suits. The
spectators of the event received a
fine exhibition of fancy diving and
a good drenching from an enthusiastic game of water tag. In the
boys' gym an energetic game of
volley ball was started with students, both boys and girls, and
faculty participating. After the
more vigorous athletics died down,
coffee and cake—courtesy of Mrs.
Chaffee were served. Chiefly responsible for the .success of the
event were Martha and Nancy Anderson.

SEMESTER FEATURES NEW COURSES
ASSEMBLY
SHOWS PEP
Perhaps the most successful-pep
assembly of the year was held in
Coffman Hall, Thursday morning,
January 16th. Because of the effective publicity, a large percentage
of students showed up. Wayne
Field, acting as master of ceremonies, opened the meeting by introducing Mr. Suddendorf who
made a brief but effective plea for
more students in the J. C. chorus.
Wayne next, explained the arrangement to be used in financing the
annual, and then introduced Mary
Kepler who gave fuller'details on
the organization of the year book.
Following this, Coach Rochen-
bach introduced the basketball
team and then gave a short direct
pep talk on our school spirit. As
he stated, "Cooperation is what
counts." From there, Warren
Wiese made some brief remarks
about the Booster Club, and turned the meeting over to the cheer
leaders who managed to get not
just a little noise from the students.
The Booster Club proved its
mettle, and several new cheers went
over with deafening success. Wayne
Field got a lot of applause and
some organized yelling when he led
some of the cheers. At the close
of the meeting the students left,
still shouting the "Yea-team-fight-
fight !'\which resounded through
the halls.
Committee Plans
Valentines Dance
The Social Committee, headed
by Martha Anderson, has plans
galore waiting to be launched this
next semester. So far, most activity is focusing around the Valentine's party which is taking the
place of the ill-fated Christmas
dance. Present plans make Saturday, February fifteenth the day,
9:00-1:00 the time, the Masonic
Temple the place, and Cec Turner
the band. With that set-up, the
Valentine's party is a guaranteed
success. Other plans include more
after-the-game dances in Coffman
Hall and a spring formal.
* Don Gross was appoint- *

* replacing Larry Haggerty. *
GAMMA RHO
PLANS BANQUET
The new semester will usher in
new activity in the J. C. extracurricular program. Tentative
plans give some time during the
second week for the date of a
Gamma Rho banquet for the old
and new members. A committee
was chosen from among last year's
members to sponsor the event. This
committee7composed of Fred Arab,
Liz McConnell, Maxine # Cavanaugh, and Goldie Dugstad, has
written to Jerry Farrington, last
year's Echo editor and present editor of the Mantorville Express,
concerning the suggestion of holding the banquet at the Hubbel
House. During the banquet,, all
new members of the Gamma Rho
Society will be informally initiated. Gamma Rho is a journalistic
organization, and all Echo staff
members are eligible for membership.
BOOSTER CLUB
GETS UNDERWAY
The Booster Club got rolling
last Wednesday night with a meeting in room 402 which fairly forced the Evening College out of the
building. Warren Wiese, acting as
chairman, relinquished his post as
president to JoAnn Neill, and will,
instead, take over the job of vice-
president. It was also decided to
hold regular meetings on the first
and second Wednesdays of each
month from 7:00 to 8:00 instead
of from 8:00 to 9:00. Plans were
also discussed for the possibility of
having a party which would be
sponsored by the Booster Club.
The rest of the meeting was devoted to cheers, led by Linda
Mathen, Norma Jenewein, and Pat
Burke. Anyone in the vicinity will
admit that the results were explosive.
Faculty Increased
If students thought our Rochester Junior College seemed crowded this last semester, they are really
going to have to pull in their elbows this coming term. Dean
Goddard stated that about fifty
new students could and would be
registered for the new semester, but
that about twice that many would
have to be turned down. As the
Dean explained, "We could easily
register another hundred provided
we could obtain new faculty members." He went on to say that he
has been persistently combing the
teaching profession for two badly
needed English instructors to relieve the pressure on those departments. The Dean was, however,
through a lucky lead, able to secure
relief for Miss Endkott's heavily
overloaded biology course by obtaining a new faculty member,
Miss Edith Curry.
Miss Curry was a former student
of Miss Endicott when she was
instructing at Yankton College at
Yankton, South Dakota. At present she is the head of the science
department at Central High school
in Sioux City, Iowa. Here at
Junior College Miss Curry will
assist in the chemistry laboratory
in addition to taking charge of a
new course in biology which is
being offered.
Another change in faculty is being made which will lighten the
load somewhat on the hard-pressed
English department. Mrs. Mc-
Clure, librarian at Junior College
last year, has consented to work
half time again this year so that
Miss Ingli may be released to teach
a course in English.
Several new subjects are being
offered for this next semester. Of
special interest to the pre-business
students will be a three credit-
semester course, Money and Banking, to be instructed by Mr. Rudberg, and a three credit-semester
course, Commerce Algebra, to be
taught by Mr. Rochenbach. For
students in general business, or for
those terminating their work this
next semester, a three credit-semester course, Consumer Economics
