A Belgian war-bride, the wife of Mr. Bill Holmes (editor of the
Mayo Clinic newspaper,) "Mayovox," and a new student at Junior
College is Jeanne Holmes. Coming from Memur, Belgian in May, 1946,
she stayed in Canada until settling in Rochester in 1947. Rochester is
a very friendly town, she feels. "When I first came here I couldn't
speak any English, but all the people in the stores were very helpful
and kind."

life." Then in September she plans
fo carry a broader class schedule.
She likes school here better than
in Belgium because it is more
pleasant and less strict. In Belgium's schools there are so many
rules; girls can wear no make-up,
for example, and talking is forbidden. Here you can "do what
you want" Jeanne says. As a climax she adds, "And there the boys
have to go to one school and the
girls to another!"
Last summer Jeanne re-visited Holland, Belgium, and England, finding them nearly back
to pre-war living standards.
Memories of the war are still
poignant, but the people now
have more food and clothes.
"The common people over
there don't know much about
America," she feels. Of course,
the "smart people" understand that Americans are basically like the Belgians and
other Europeans. They realize that "in every country
there are some good people
and some bad."

Junior College has just begun a
new recreational project which has
proved to be a great success. The
Student Council, by popular request, organized a bowling league.
Ora Ackerman carried out the
plans by making all the necessary
arrangements.
There are eight complete teams,
each consisting of two boys and
one girl. Every Monday night the
teams bowl at the Cascade Lanes.
The tournament will last seven
weeks.
Boys' scratch is 140 and girls'
is 110. A handicap of 25 points
will even up the scores considerably.
Teams were organized by pulling names out of a hat. Here are
the results:
TEAM 1-George Ploetz, Noel
Gray and Marilyn Miller.
TEAM 2-Don Cunderla, Bill Fiebelkorn and Charlotte Mohlke.
TEAM 3—Ora Ackerman, Lester
Fiegel and Dorothy Mogen.
TEAM 4—George Bingham, Jim
Sullivan and Maxine Wedam.
TEAM 5-Buck Scott, John Beilke
and Mary Klug.
TEAM 6—Harris Hornseth, Dick
Fiebelkorn and Mary Kufina.
TEAM 7—Bill Berkman, Frank
Hershik and Jean Marsh.
TEAM 8-Frazer Keith, Allen
Smith and Liz Fortney.
Individual names for the teams
will be chosen by next week. Spec-
1 tators who wish to see some "spectacular" bowling are welcome to
view these exhibitions.

Sophomore general culture tests
were give on Monday, March 20,
and Tuesday, March 21, in the
Central cafeteria by Miss Mary
Goette and Mr. Howard Roy of the
Counselling Bureau.
The purpose of these tests is
threefold: (1) they enable each
student to find out just what
areas he does his best work
in, thereby aiding him in the
selection of future courses; (2)
they aid colleges and prospective employers in that they
give a fair picture of the student's knowledge in various
fields; and (3) they give the
school an opportunity to find
out how it ranks in comparison
with other colleges, how its '•
quality of instruction compares
with that of other colleges. In
general, these culture tests
measure the achievement of
each individual student over a
period of years, both in and
outside of the classroom.
After the correction of the tests
each student will be given a profile sheet with his scores. His grades
will be compared with those of other Rochester Junior College students and also with those of all
other sophomore college students in
the nation this year.
