THE J AVJSEE ECHO
VOLUME   XV
ROCHESTER,   MINNESOTA, FRIDAY,   FEBRUARY  20,   1948
NO.   10
The Emperor Dons
His Sunday Best
Some of the cast for "Emperor's New Clothes—(Standing) left to
right: Jack Tervo, Johnmiles Johnson, Donna Snyder, Mabel Wilke,
bending over Phyllis Hendricks are Frank Hentges, left, and Bob Lyke.
The cast (or most of it) for
the forthcoming Rajester production of "The Emperor's New
Clothes," a Chinese fantasy, is
pictured above during a typical
rehearsal. Echo photographer
Bill Sandberg caught a scene in
which the Empress (Phyllis
Hendricks) has fainted, and it
seems to Nan and Yan (which
roles will be played by the famous Hentges brothers) that she
has indubitably gone to her ancestors. When the boys cannot
revive her, even after the energetic employment of fans, they
gently but definitely lift the
royal head by the ears! Due to
difficulties with Mr. Bateman
and his class schedule, Bob
Hentges was replaced in his-us
ual position at the Empress's left
ear by his good friend and fellow comrade Bob Lyke. Also
left out of the picture was Richard Maass, who plays the part
of Weaver.
Other cast members are:
Johnmiles Johnson, Emperor;
Jack Tervo, the General; Ted
Cadwell, Gongboy; Alice
Heintz, daughter of Professor
Emil Heintz plays the Child;
and other Weavers are: Mary
Kepler, Donna Snyder, and
Mabel Wilke. Miss McGhee,
who directs all J. C. productions, stated that there are still
several openings for "bystanders" in several crowd scenes in
the play. All those interested
should see Miss McGhee in
her office on the fourth floor.'
Annual Staff
Discusses 'Dummy'
The second meeting of the
annual staff was held Wednesday, February 4. The plans
for the banquet were discussed
and pertinent questions were decided upon.
As far as the annual is concerned, a tentative dummy copy
has been planned by the section
heads. The dummy has been
taken to Miss Matt to be ap-

Gamma Rho Initiates
30 Cub Reporters
Last Tuesday, February 17, Gamma Rho, the Rochester
Junior College journalistic society, comprised of students who
have worked on the school paper and the school annual, held its
annual banquet and initiation ceremony at Carroll's White House,
Oronoco. The affair was honored by the presence of Mr. Herman Sittard, of the staff of the Rochester Post-Bulletin, who
gave a short informal talk on journalism.
The dinner was preceded by the "informal" side of the initiation of new members.   The committee which presided over the
initiation   consisted   of   Mary

Dean Goddard is back from
his "vacation," after spending
almost two weeks at St. Mary's
hospital where he underwent an
operation on the second of January. During this time, the
Dean tried to keep himself
amused by playing solitaire—
Klondike Solitaire. In the process he got $1000 behind which
he wishes could be deducted
from his income tax.
The Dean has been convalescing at his home ever
since the 11th of January.
He resumed his duties,
though not on his regular
schedule, on Wednesday
afternoon, February 4.
We're happy to see you
back, Dean!
X-Rays
Search
Out T. B.
Well now that you've had
your X-ray for T. B., what's
going to happen?
The X-ray films will be
read at the Mayo Clinic,
and if the findings are negative—that is if your chest
shows no signs of trouble
or other abnormality such
as lung cancer, enlarged
heart, chest tumors, cysts,
etc.:—you will be notified
by mail. If there are any
signs—your chance by the
way is only 2% of the
total population of Olmsted County, you will be
recalled to have another

Kepler, Max Field, and Isabelle
Schultz, all tried and true members of last year's Gamma Rho.
The new initiates were each
given a rather impossible, but
definite assignment for a news
story, and were requested to
bring the completed story back
to the premises within half an
hour.
The committee for arrangements, which handled all preparations capably, consisted of
Phyllis Hendricks, Barbara
Bach, and Dick Hexum. The
tables were decorated with candles and flowers in red and yellow, the symbolic colors of the
Gamma Rho society. Those
present had a choice between
steaks and chicken, and most of
them were satisfied with steak.
The accommodations of the
White House were found to be
very agreeable in that respect.
After dinner, the formal candle-lighted initiation service
took place,  with Mary Kepler
