superior to the regular

from     the    "National

there was an account of

Gloria Witter, Lorraine Parkin,
Shari Shaler, Beverly Overland, Beverly Boelter, Viola
Kutcher, Lois Schmidt, Doris
Tangen, and Florence Draz-
kowski, some of whom are

Thanksgiving decorations provided a holiday motif for the turkey
and the trimmings. Entertainment
was short, and diversified, ranging
from magic to music, and ended
with movies of football highlights
of all major universities. Short
talks by several prominent' persons, rather than one main speaker, was the order of the day. Hon.
Robert Faricy, State Industrial Commissioner, presented the certificates.

The Universities of Minnesota and
Michigan both have their traditional battle for the Little Brown
Jug, which has become nationally
known.
Rochester and Worthington
Junior Colleges are trying to
copy their big brothers by having an annual game for the
same purpose. The coveted
trophy will be awarded to the
winner of the game each year.
This plan is still in the making
but  we   hope  to  have  results  by  nei from one t0 1500
next year. Rochester will choose
a delegate to represent J. C. at a
meeting of the two schools to make
fhe final decision.
We (Rochester) like the idea and
hope the two schools will decide
upon the trophy or some other
symbol of victory. This would be
a good way for the college to show
the public that the team isn't only
out on the field to play a game but
also out there to bring home the
trophy.
This is the thing that made the
Minnesota and Michigan game a
national standout. Let's get this
movement in motion so that we can
also make headlines with our football games.
