COMMITTEE PLANS
JX. CLUB ROOMS
In the past few weeks {here have
been many rumors flying about the
hall about a club room. Rumors
have developed into reality and we
will soon be able to have the benefit of the recreational and social
activities provided by club rooms
which will be located in the basement of the Methodist Church.
Ted Cadwell has been appointed
by th student council as chairman
of the club room committee. He
will choose a committee that will
be responsible for all activities and
the necessary clean-up work in connection with the operation of the
club rooms. The student body
will at all times be responsible for
the care of the facilities.
The services of the club rooms
have been to a large extent donated by the Methodist Church. In
view of the fact that there are no
available funds in the activity fund
to defray expenses of the club
rooms, a flexible financial system
has been worked out by which the
profits from the coke machine, coffee, and doughnuts will pay for the
cost of operation.
The church club rooms offer us
many activities. Some of them
are ping-pong, shuffle board, coke
machine, study rooms, and a phonograph. The school has a large
stock of records that will be used
on the machine. Any donations
such as records and ping-pong paddles will be greatly appreciated.

STUDENT COUNCIL
SPONSORS DANCE
Two weeks ago today, the Student Council sponsored a dance in
the North Gym. This activity
was t6 have been a fitting climax
to the Worthington game; however, because of reasons known to
all the game was postponed, and
the party proceeded with a better
attendance than was exepcted.
• Refreshments - of coke and
doughnuts were served by Virginia
Chaffee and her helpers. Music
in the medium of some very fine
records was provided and supervise
ed by Donna Whitney.
Mrs. McClure served as chap-
erone, and the entire student council consisting of Warren Wiese,
Bob Hentges, Bill Sandberg, Bob
Welte and Virginia Chaffee acted
as clean-up committee.

J.C. ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE HELD
School Fraternity
Elects Officers
The first meeting of the Phi
Theta Kappa on November 4 saw
the election of this year's officers.
Those given honored positions are
as follows: President, Theodore
Cadwell; Vice President, Charles
Carney; Secretary, Gloria Gray;
Treasurer, Warren Wiese.
The requirements for membership in this fraternity are: the
completion of one semester of
work, fifteen hours of study in a
regular college division 12 of which
must be S.L.A., a B average, good
moral character, and classification
in the upper 10% of the student
body.
Students are elected to membership at the end of each school semester. Election to this fraternity
is one of the highest honors a Junior Colege student can attain.
Additional Funds
Needed for Annual
On Thursday, November 15,
Gamma Rho, Rochester Junior
College journalistic society, met
and discussed the current subscription drive for an annual. Presiding officer was Bill Sandberg,
president, and the meeting was
also attended by Miss Matt, the
advisor, and fifteen members.
Discussion centered around the
fact that the number of subscriptions, in spite of the vigorous exhortations of those in school who
really want an annual, is not likely
to reach the quota necessary to put
out an annual.
Suggestions on how to raise additional funds to supplement those
already subscribed for were received. Tentative plans were made to
hold a Bunco party before Christmas, and the possibilities of having
a carnival and a box lunch social
were discussed.
The meeting was adjourned after three hours of discussions with
the members resolving to put additional notices in the boxes of
those who had not previously subscribed for an annual, and to conclude their fund-raising plans at a
later meeting.
Tonight i-
Dancing, Food
And Hentges
Tonight from 9:00 to 12:00
in the North Gym, R. J. C. students will celebrate at the annual
Harvest Dance. This party has
always been one of the most popular social events of the semester,
and tonight even a bigger and better turnout is expected.
Decorations for tonight's session
will prove to be something out of
this world. A cabin, supplemented by rows of clothesline strung
with assorted garments, and the
casual distribution of various other
items called trash, will adorn the
gym and create atmosphere for this
gala occasion.
To empty the pocket and fill
the stomach of all those attending,
hot dogs, cheerios, cokes, and hot
chocolate are to be served.
Bob Hentges, as master of ceremonies, will present various talented students who will perform during the intermission. A community sing, a door j prize, numerous
games, and an award for the longest beard will also help entertain
guests at that time.
The cost is but twenty-five cents
(one quarter) plus one button to
dance for three hours to the fine
music of the Five Naturals. Where
else will one-fourth of a dollar
provide good music, delicious food,
novel decorations, and fun for
every student but at the HARD
TIME PARTY, TONIGHT?
Rajesters to Present Play
A one-act play, "The Long
Christmas Dinner," by Thornton
Wilder, will be presented by the
Rajesters at the annual Christmas
assembly on December 17. This
drama does for the Bayard family
of Chicago what "Our Town" did
for a little New England village.
A series of vignettes portray three
generations of the family, covering
a span of ninety years.
The setting, which remains the
same throughout the play, depicts
the  dining  room  of the  Bayard
household.    Varied    curtains    of

Record Crowd Attends
Traditional Gathering
In observance of American Education Week, Rochester Junior
College held open house on Thursday evening, November 13, in
order to give parents and teachers
an opportunity to get acquainted.
Preceding the reception a program
was presented in Coffman Hall,
arranged by the faculty committee
consisting of Flora McGhee, chairman, Louise Barthelemy, Alice Endicott, Wallace Maxie, and Charles

Then and Now." Karl Dubbert,
professor of mathematics, presented
several selections on the xylophone,
accompanied by Mrs. Emil Heintz.
The Junior College Chorus, under
the direction of Sidney Sudden-
dorf, made its first appearance at
this time, singing the numbers
"Faithful Johnnie" and "Holiday
Song."
Vocal solos were rendered by
Helen Doyle and Donna Snyder,
who sang "Wind's in the South"
and "Bless This House," respectively. Emil Heintz spoke on
"The College and the Community."
Following the program, refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was spent socially. Responsible for the refreshments was the committee made
