HOMECOMING DANCE THRILLS 350
HIGH SCHOOL
HONORS ALUMNI
The R. H. S. alumni from Junior College were both proud and
pleased by the Homecoming festivities that were planned for the
graduates of that school's realms.
The assembly was a fitting
tribute to any alumnus. No
queen has ever surpassed in beauty
and elegane, and her court was a
sight to behold. J. C.'s own A. K.
Peterson spoke in behalf of "those
who had gone before." Each
speaker extended a hearty welcome to the visiting alumni.
Following the assembly was a
parade that showed much hard
work and ingenuity on the part
of every R. H. S. student. A fine
feeling filled the hearts of all those
for whom Homecoming was intended.
The game, in which the old
alma mater came through with
flying colors, made that day a perfect one.
At the dance a sense of familiarity upon seeing old friends
again was prevalent.
The J. C. alumni are happy to
have been a part of such a fine
Homecoming.
Attention, Vets
Veterans, you are welcome to
present your problems, of any
kind, to the Veterans' Bureau
on first floor.
Mr. Roy, who is the senior
councellor, urges all veterans
who need guidance to drop in
and see him or one of his assistants. Their location in our
city, and at our school is a temporary one, so if any of you
have problems, personal, educational, or vocational obtain
some professional aid.
This unit has become somewhat ambulatory, and has
brought Veterans' Aid closer to
those living in Austin and Winona by taking the "mountain
to Mohammed."
The Veterans' Bureau is an
entirely voluntary institution.
They feel that their councelling
is of no avail if the councellee
wants no help. This is important.
For any information about
the benefits provided under the
G. I. Bill or the Rehabilitation
Act drop in at 112 Coffman
Building.
CROWD STAYS
TILL END
Last Saturday night, October
11th, the Homecoming Dance at
North Gym was a fitting climax
to the victorious Yellowjacket
Homecoming battle with Mason
City Junior College. The Social
Committee, which had complete
charge of the Homecoming celebration, laid its plans well and
carried them out to a finished excellence. But the real credit for the
successful Homecoming goes to the
students of R. J. C. themselves,
whose enthusiastic cooperation was
evidenced by the large attendance
at the dance.
The Bennett Greten orchestra
varied its smooth dancing music
with original jump and specialty
numbers. Proof of the popularity
of the music was the fact that most
of the couples stayed until the band
played its last encore. A new
wrinkle was initiated when our
lovely queen, Dot Dixon, danced
a solo with her escort. Then each
picked another partner for the next
number, and these four repeated
the process until everyone was
dancing.

Wayne Field
Heads IRC
At the first meeting of the International Relations Club, which
was held some time ago, Wayne
Field was elected temporary chairman. A committee was appointed consisting of Aline Jennings,
Frankie Markell, Jim Gove and
the chairman to find a meeting
place for the next meeting and to
find a topic worthwhile for discussion.
On the twenty-fifth of September, the second meeting was held
in the Public Library. Candidates for office were Max Field,
president; Verne Ewing, vice president; Frankie Markell, secretary
and treasurer. The constitution of
the..club was also discussed and
accepted.   .
