As the final curtain rang
down on "The Emperor's New
Clothes" the audience drifted
from the auditorium with looks
of satisfaction on their faces.
The play'was a success!
Miss McGhee and her students may well be proud of the
two performances. The acting
of the entire cast was superb.
Too, the scenery and the costumes were excellently chosen.
R. J. C. is proud of all those
who participated in, or made
possible the production of, our
Spring Play.    Congratulations!
Trump That Ace!
Those of you who frequent
the Merry-go-round and are avid
card players will testify to the
fact that the card situation is
somewhat desperate. It is extremely disconcerting to take a
trick in bridge with the ace of
hearts—only to find out that it
isn't the ace of hearts at all but
the ace of clubs—or to trump a
trick with what you thought
was'a spade, but on close observation turns out to be a diamond. Changed cards may add
to the interest but not to a person's temper. Or perhaps you've
had the experience of playing a
game of casino only to find
when you've finished that the
deck boasts' only' 5 1 cards' arid
that the  52nd  isn't  up some
one's sleeve cither. —Or perhaps you just can't find a deck
of cards at all. That happens
often.
In other words, the situation
is desperate—and you can help.
In the first place, you can take
care of the cards we have. It
isn't so hard to keep a deck intact. In the second place you
can donate cards to the club.
Almost everyone has some decks
at home which, even though
they are old, are complete. Why
don't you dig some of these
decks up and contribute them
to the cause. You will be helping' to make the club-rooms a
success—and besides, we are desperate.
First Semester
Student on Road
To Recovery
There's quite a bit that
couhd be said about Russ, "but
he certainly wouldn't say it
for himself. A married ex-
goblet (small sailor), he was
in his sophomore pre-Bus.
year when he found out that
he had stomach ulcers.
He left school after the
; first semester and he and his
wife took a trip to California.
When they returned to Rochester, Russ , started working
for the Rochester Dairy.
About a week after he started-
delivering milk, he perforated
an ulcer and the first thing he
knew, he was in St. Mary's
Hospital.
His condition was very
critical and emergency surgery was performed. He was
put in an oxygen tent and
received a series of blood
transfusions. 'Peritonitis had
set in and his temperature was
very high.
After further surgery and
more transfusions, his condition began to improve slowly.
If Russell reads this, we want
him to know that whatever
his friends and fellow students have done on his behalf
Was done willingly and gladly. Here's to a speedy recovery, Russ!
Henry  Burton
Contracted
For May 3rd
Pictured at left is the familiar
Rochester Country Club, which
will be .the scene of our Spring
Formal come May 3rd.
Henry Burton, who played
so ably for the Leap Year Dance,
will again provide his smooth
rhythm from 9;00 till 1 :00.
All arrangements for securing
this fine band were made by
Dick Hexum.
' There will be punch and
cookies at the refreshment'table,
and perhaps pop will be sold
also.
Tickets for J. C.'s last party
of the school year may be obtained in the Dean's Office at
$1.50 a couple. Because of the
convenient date of this dance,
most male students should have
sufficient funds to be present.
This is the highlight of the
entire two semesters, the last
J. C. dance of the year. A large
attendance is necessary to insure
its success. One-fifty—one date.
Be sure to be there!
As a special concession, it
has b e e n announced that
T.H'ERE WILL BE NO
SCHOOL THE FOLLOWING
TUESDAY MORNING AFTER THE DANCE ON
MONDAY NIGHT.

A week ago last Monday saw
J. C. invaded by family life. It
has always been realized that
harbored in our college were
many married men with children—but when they actually
produced the goods!
The reason for the very enlightening visit of the younger
generation was a study.of children and their reactions iri psychology class.
