Tuesday Swims
Held Bi-weekly
At Coffman Pool
For the last few weeks the Jun
ior College has taken control of
the Coffman swimming pool and is
sponsoring weekly swims. These
swims were organized by the Student Council and, so far, have been
quite successful.
A point which should be stressed is the fact that the faculty, as
well as students, are invited to attend.
Swims are held on Tuesday beginning at 7:30. There is no definite time for quitting; however, usually students leave about 9:00.
Swim Requires Sponsors
Each swim requires a student
sponsor, faculty supervisors and a
life guard. Sponsors have been
Marcia Kepler and Donna Johnson.
Mrs. Creal, Mr. Bateman and Mr.
and Mrs. Roy have served as supervisors. John Whiting is the capable life guard.
Plenty of Room
Swimmers    who    like    to    swim
lengths can do so at these" gatherings  without   being   hampered   by

Formal and Informal
Initiations Slated
for February 23
The Markay will be the scene of
the annual Gamma Rho banquet
on Wednesday evening, February
23 at which time all new Gamma
Rho members chosen from the staffs
of Rajuca and The Jaysee Echo,
will be initiated into the organization.
The initiation of the group will
follow practically the same pattern
that it has in the past. The informal initiation will be carried out in
the form of a scavenger or treasure
hunt with all details to be kept secret until the time of the actual
initiation, and the formal initiation
will be the traditional candlelight
ceremony. Old members are now
planning in detail the initiation
ceremonies, both formal and informal.
Markay Scene  of Banquet
The banquet will be held in the
private dining room of the Markay,
dnd each dinner will cost $2 per
person. Decorations are to be carried out in a red and yellow color
scheme. Those in charge qf decorating the dining room are Barbara Bach, Donna Whitney and
Carolyn Van Hook. Invitations'will
be handled by Lugene Trisler and
Nancy Kendall.
As yet a speaker has not been
secured. General arrangements are
being headed by the president,
Joanne Holtorf.

Miles, Hentges
Featured In
Spring Vehicle
On March 17 the Rajesters will
present the play, "Ten Little Indians," at the Central Auditorium.
In a gruesome manner, this mystery
play uses a well-known nursery
rhyme for its motif. On the screen,
the production was entitled "Then
There Were None." The roles
played by Walter Huston and Barry Fitzgerald will be essayed in
R. J. C. circles by Dick Miles and
Bob Hentges.
The setting is a well-furnished, but unoccupied house with
a sad, romantic history. The
location is a lonely little island
off the coast of Devonshire,
England.
-' As the play opens, a house party
is underway with an odd assemblage of guests and with servants
of questionable character in charge
of the menage. Queering the atmosphere further is the absence of
the host and hostess who have been
detained in London. An evil spirit'Council is a Gamma Rho field trip
pervades the place, and according- to the Twin Cities. The trip woulc
Iy the murders begin on schedule   include all members of the Rajucc
for out of the Student Activity Fund,
and both freshman and sophomore
JC students are eligible to attend.
3 Awards To Be Given
The main purpose of the banquet
is to award the three highest honors obtainable at Rochester Junior
College, namely, the Booster Cup'
and the two Golden "R" awards.
The winner of the Booster Cup
is traditionally a sophomore whe
in the opinion of the student body
has contributed tne most to the
school during the year. The Golden. "R" awards are presented to the1
girl and boy sophomores selectee
by the faculty as representing the
highest type of RJC student. The
banquet also features an address
by an outstanding citizen of Roch
ester.
"Who's Who" List Selected
In addition to the banquet, the
council is now beginning the preparation of a "Who's Who" list foi
the Rajuco. This honor roll include:
the twenty-five students, both fresh'
men and sophomores, most deserving of commendation for theii
school service.
One of the more urgent matter:
