Rochester Junior College graduates, Arthur Swan and Laton
Smith, were recently elected officers of the Rochester Junior Chamber of Commerce. Arthur Swan
who graduated in 1941, is now the
internal vice president. The new
secretary, Laton Smith, is from the
college class of 1938.
At the meeting of May 9 at
which they were elected, Frank
Nye, associate editor of the Cedar
Rapids, Iowa "Gazette" spoke. His
message concerned the laziness,
complacency, and intolerance of
many Americans. He praised the
Rochester JC's for their work saying, "Service to humanity is the
best work in life."

R. J. C. students, faculty members, and members of the school
board gathered in the Central cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
May 17, for the annual spring banquet of the college. Master of
ceremonies for the evening was
Bill Fiebelkorn, a member of the
student council.
The invocation was given by
John  Larson,  following  which
seven   students,   Gayle    Hett-
man,    Dixie    Kirkwood,    Margaret Masson, Kay Olson, Jacqueline   Aird,   Gloria   Witter,
and Greta Nelson lighted candles throughout the room after
receiving the flame from three
candles,    lighted    by   Student
Council   president,   George
Bingham,    for   truth,    culture,
and knowledge, appearing on
J.   C.'s   seal.    Wilma   Naves
played the piano accompaniment for this service.
Dean   Roy   W.   Goddard   spoke
about the future of the junior college.    "No movement in the field
of education is more dynamic than
the  junior  college  movement,"  he
said,  and  then  outlined the three
different  channels  in  which   junior
colleges are developing in the United States.    The first of these is the
separate  campus,  apart from  the
rest of the public school system; the
second is the so-called association
type, where the college is associated  with  the  high  school  as  it  is
here,   where   certain   facilities   are
used in common; and the third is
that called the 6-4-4 plan in which
the last four years are college and
include the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth grades.   He
also mentioned the talk of RJC becoming a branch of the University
of Minnesota.   The Dean suggested
the name junior be dropped from
the   college   now,   because   it   is
no longer "junior" because of the
extensive terminal programs.
The four high awards of the
college were presented following this talk.    Nancy Kendall
and George Bingham received
the Golden "R" awards; Rolf
Birkelo was awarded the Booster Cup, and Joanne Bandow
