Opthalmic Frat
To Get Clubroom
In Woolworfch Bldg.
In a letter received from Mr
Leslie Myer of the N. P. Benson'
Co., the Omega Pi Tau learned
that they would be 'assured of a
club-room for the coming year.
While the local branch of the company is expected to move into the
new Woolworth building about the
first of the year, one room at the
old site remains on leave for an
additional year and if is this room
which will serve as a meeting place
for the members. A Clubroom
committee, whose members are
Lowell ' Fahrman, Jerry Marcell,
Bery! Baker, Fred Fakler, Jim Hars-
mer, and" Will Kruger, are already
planning apropriate decorations.
We believe this to be the first independent meeting place for a J.
C. organization.
A package of historical papers,
sent by Dr. Benedict to the O. P. T.
president, was turned over to the
club's senior historian, FRANK
HERSHIK. These ietfers, transcripts,
and documents trace the development of fhe OPTICIAN school and
standardization board in the form
of speeches, resolutions and recommendations made by responsible
men organizations in the Optical
Field. Hershik, ably assisted by
JIM HANMER, the Jr. Historian,
will compile the story of the Ophthalmic Optics classes at J. C. and
add it to the history of the optical
industry.

Why Have a Newman Club
The men and women on American College Campuses are preparing themselves for the future, a future that includes fhe idea of service fo the nation—and also fo
God. Catholic students are aware
of many of the problems of the
day; many, however, are not fully
aware of the Christian solution to
them. Consequently, the J. C-
Catholic students are meeting together twice a month to discuss the
problems in the light of the teachings of Christ. No one has such
a full understanding of the Faith
that he cannot'attend the Newman
club to great advantage. In order
to prepare themselves to assume
the responsibilities of their place in

Our last home game for the
1949 season was with Worthington
J. C. In "honor" of this game, the
Pep Club gave a "Gay Nineties"
assembly with both student and
faculty participators.   .
"A Bicycle Built for Two"
was the first act, enacted by
Barb Bach and Fred White
who rode a tandem on the
stage. There was no singing
for two reasons: first, they got
more laughs without words,
and second, the crew was
laughing so hard that they
were not able fo sing.
The J. C. Folliettes were next on
the program. These gorgeous
creatures were coached by the able
Nancy Kendall. She was also in
charge of making their crepe paper
costumes.
The Faculty Quartet with Mr.
Collins, Mr. Kortz, Mr. Roy, and
Mr. Suddendorf was last. With
barber shop actions, they gave
forth with "She Is More To Be Pit;
ied Than Censured," and "Kentucky Babe."
The Pull Committee of the Pep
Club was in charge of this assembly. They have done a good job,
but need more co-operation from
the students.
GkoAm, Jf&l [). Q.
GhAtitmaA, Plcuf,
"The Lighting of the Christmas
Tree," a Vassar College Workshop
dramatization of the Selma Lager-
loft" story, "The Xmas Guest" is a
fitting drama for the holiday season. The setting is a wealthy home
in the country. .. The costumes are
Swedish.
An aged and disagreeable guest,
Ruster (Evan Evanhoff) upsets the
dignity of a Swedish household,
Olga (Dolores Kreinbring) the
young mistress, considers the old
musician a bad influence on her
husband, Liljerkrona (Harris Horn-
seth) and children, Sigrid (Gloria
Frutiger) and Oswald (James
Brough). She drives him out in a
snow storm, with nowhere to go.
Immediately everything begins to
go wrong and she repents of her
selfishness. George Howell as Tar-
stein and Doris Peterson as Halla,
the servant, also take part in the
activities of this household. By the
time the story ends, everyone has
a better idea of the true meaning
of Christmas.
