A Message
From The Superintendent
"The most fortunate people in the world today are those who
are continuing their education beyond the high school. Employment at the present time is at a very high level, but as more normal
times come again, the people who are better trained will survive
and gradually move forward to positions of leadership.
A great leader, whether he be social, political, academic, or
industrial, will be characterized by several qualities, among which
will be:
1. The ability to think clearly and objectively
2. Devotion to principles
3. Desire to be of service to his fellowmen
4. The ability to inspire others
5. A determined wil! or strength of character
6. A pleasing personality
Students in the Junior College who aspire to success in life
should strive to develop the qualities of leadership while in college.
In almost every case success in life is preceded by a successful school
career. Your teachers can predict accurately from your record
what your chances in life may be.
Make the most of your opportunities while you- are here. Develop a wholesome and complete personality. Enjoy your social
life.   Try to become a well-rounded individual.
Your superintendent of schools hopes that we are providing you
with the best educational advantages and facilities that we can.
He will be pleased to learn of any way in which our college can be
of further service. He appreciates this opportunity to greet you
and to extend best wishes for your success and happiness."

Extra-Curriculum
For 48-49 Outlined
Outside activities are a complicated business to the unitiated. A
few pointers now, * however, will
start you thinking of the activity
set-up with a less puzzled eye to
the future.
As the students registered, they
received a sheet of paper indicating a survey of extra-curricular activities. These survey sheets will
be given to Mr. Suddendorf, Music
Instructor; Miss Matt, Journalism Instructor, and Miss McGhee, Dramatics Instructor. They will, in turn,
from all the names submitted, appoint a Student Committee. The
committee will be responsible for
the year's plays and special programs.
Among student assemblies
scheduled for the coming year
are three dramatic produc-
tions: the Thanksgiving program, the Christmas play, and
a three-act play in the spring
. which will be presented by the

'48 Jaysees
Assemble
The students of Rochester Junior
College are meeting this morning
for the first assembly of the year.
This assembly will welcome the new
students who are entering junior
college this year as freshmen or
sophomores and acquaint them
with the routine of Rochester Junior College. Announcements concerning athletic, dramatic, and other extra-curricular activities are to
be made. These will help many
students select the activities which
they wish to participate in to round
out their schedules.
Faculty Spends
"Vacations"
Going to School
June 6 meant the beginning of
a varied schedule for the faculty
of R. J. C. as well as for the students. Among those who remained here for the summer workshop
were Miss Endicott, chairman, Mr.
Rudberg, Mr. Kortz, Mr. Collins,
Mr. Paul, Mr. Roy, and Mr. Dub-
bert. Those attending the University of Minnesota were Miss
Barthelemy, Miss Matt, Mr. Wil-
lard, Miss Evans, Miss Goette, and
Mr. Suddendorf.
Other    teachers    attending
summer school were Miss Hille-
sted at Denver, Colorado; Miss
Curry at the University of Wis-

With registration over and
classes starting, why not take a
look at who's taking what. Registration in certain courses took a
tumble this year. S. L. A. and
business administration courses lead
the field with pre-engineering, general education, pre-business and
medical technician courses following. Such courses as pre-forestry,
pre-medical, pre-education, physical education, law, dentistry and
pre-mortician are very low.
The number of veterans this year
is one-third of the number last
year. About one-third , of these
veterans are married and about
one-third have children. Don't
worry, girls. The boys still outnumber the girls two to one.
