Thirteen Students Added
To Jaysee Enrollment
On Wednesday morning, January 28, which marked the
beginning of the second semester, 13 newcomers were added to
the previous enrollment of 267. Nine of the new students are
Rochester residents, while the other four come from Dodge Center,   Lewiston,   Chatfield,   and
Booster Cup To Be Awarded
In the near future an assembly will be held to nominate this
year's candidates for the Booster Cup. This honor is bestowed
on the boy or girl having rendered the most invaluable service
to R. J. C. during the past year.
Spring Play
Is Fairy Tale
"The Emperor's New
Clothes," the play to be presented by the Rajesters on
March 11, is an adaptation of
Hans Christian Anderson's fairy
tale. .The version to be used is
written by Mrs. Charlotte Chor-
penning, formerly of Northwestern University and now of
the Goodman School of the
Theater in Chicago.
The plot centers around the
ruler who worshipped new
clothes and a "new look." Although the costumes were probably German in the original
story, they are Chinese in the
stage play version.
For the past fifteen years this
production has been very popular with both adults and children. For this reason the J. C.
cast and Miss McGhee, the director, are planning a children's
matinee in adition to the evening performance which is to be
presented in Central Auditorium.
The first meeting of the cast
was htld on Thursday evening,
January 29, in Miss McGbee's
office, room 404, for the purpose of selecting the cast   The
(Continued on page 8, col. 3)
From the candidates chosen at
this time all but one will be
eliminated at a later ballot vote.
Last year the Booster Cup
was awarded to Wayne Field.
At the annual banquet to be
held in May it will again be
presented to the selected student.
It is the wish of the faculty
advisors and the student council that some serious thought be
given to this subject before the
oncoming assembly.
Also at this student gathering
a student council representative
at large will be nominated.
After a ballot vote has been completed the person elected will assume the responsibility for organizing the student council
next year. There are no limitations set on the eligibility of
candidates for this position.
The assembly will be soon.

Social Committee
Re-appointed
an enforced dormancy due to semester exams, has become active
again. As all members were
willing to serve during the second semester, they were re-appointed by the Student Council
for a second term. The committee stands as before, with Dot
Dickson as chairman, and Dick
Hexum, Donna Whitney, Jesse
Bollman, Virginia Chaffee, and

THIS
Is Merely
A HINT
On extensive and thorough
perusal of the Rochester Junior
College catalog (an admirable
volume) we find (to our dismay) that there are other grades
in the books besides A. B, C, D,
and (don't say it) F. For the
benefit of the uninformed, we
quote:
"Students are graded on the
basis of A, B, C, D, E (condition) , F (failure), and I (incomplete) . If a grade of E or I
is obtained in any subject, the
student is allowed eight weeks
at the beginning of the following semester to make up the deficiency. A condition or incomplete not converted to a higher
grade within this time limit automatically becomes a failure. A
grade of F signifies that the
work must be repeated in the
regular class for credit. Work of
a satisfactory character, but not
completed, is marked I.
"Students are allowed to drop
courses only on written petition. No penalty is assessed on
a dropped course provided the
grade is D or higher. After the
end of the ninth week of any
semester a dropped course with
grade of E, I or F will be marked "Failure" on the records.
"To apply the collegiate
work toward a degree the student is expected to maintain an
average of C throughout his
ourse. The character of a student's work is expressed in honor points, which are computed
as follows: each credit with the
grade of A carries three honor
points; each credit with the
grade of B, two honor points;
each credit with the grade of C,
one honor point; D, no honor

St. Charles.

dins, Science, Literature and

Special; Richard McCallum, Science, Literature, and Arts; John
Miller, Science, Literature and
Arts; Thomas Moore, Pre-en-
gineering; and Gerald Quade,
Terminal Business.

are Rollo Armour, Dodge, Pre-
business course; Allen Prigge,
Lewiston, Science, Literature,
and Arts; John Sullivan, Chat-
field, Pre-medicine; and John
Wright, St. Charles, Terminal
Business.
We Need
Cheerleaders
Cheerleading! What is
THAT? J. C. did have
something like that at one
time. There is no need for
cheerleaders if there is not going to be cheering from the
students.
In that case then, there is
no support of the team; consequently no need for pep assemblies. Hence, no pep in
these our halls.
This second semester
would be much more enjoyable to all if only some pep
could be injected into us students. The only way that
can be done is to have an ab-
:olute revolution. Have more
nterest in school activities,
especially in sports. If this
happens, then more people
will become interested in
cheerleading. Then too, there
will be more cheerleading,
more pep, and much more
fun.
