Freshmen Preview Future College Days
DURING THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF SCHOOL, WELCOMES
ARE QUITE FREQUENT, BUT HERE IT COMES AGAIN! WELCOME TO THE STUDENTS OF R. J. C.
To the students of R. J. C, the Jaycee Echo extends a
hearty welcome. We hope that this year will be the most successful year in the history of the Rochester Junior College.
School spirit is a very important factor in making this year
or any other year a success. In fhe past, the support given to
college activities has been good, but this year we hope for
greater enthusiasm and active interest from every student. Since
there is a larger enrollment at J. C. there should be more support given to activities.
Supporting school activities means participation. Some
activity in school is suited to every student. Whether it is football, basketball, the pep club, dramatics, or journalistic activities, each persons's participation contributes to the betterment
of junior college. If we all lend a hand, R. J. C. will do very
well this year.

Freshman or Orientation Week which started August 28 was
held to acquaint the 175 freshmen with Junior College and prepare
them for college work.
Monday and Tuesday were scheduled as registration and testing days. The tests were given mainly to record the student's ability in the various fields of science, literature and art, and reading
speed and comprehension.
There were convocations and classes throughout the rest of
the week at which the Dean, the coaches and some of the instructors were introduced and addressed the students during the convocations.
Each of the four student groups had one class in the library
where they learned the system and rules for their library work during the year.   Two sessions were held on notetaking, at which time
the frosh were told the right way
to make notes on lectures and
readings and one class on How to
Study in College was conducted.
Daily study habits and preparation for examinations were topics
of interest, pointers were given to
increase reading speed and comprehension, and a time budget
was planned by each student.
However, Freshman Week was
rot all work and no play! The
class was entertained at a luncheon by the Chamber of Commerce, each freshman coming as
a guest of a businessman or
woman of Rochester. Dwight
Havens, executive secretary of the
Chamber, and Mayor McQuillan
spoke to the guests, and the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce and the Junior Chamber
cf Commerce were introduced.
Ruth Gross, a freshman this year,
responded for her class. As a
climax to the program the guests
were entertained by Walt Bru-
zek's magic tricks.
A splash party at Soldiers
Field, a picnic at Silver Lake and
luncheon af the Merry-Go-Round
provided opportunity for out-of-
town students to become better
acquainted with the Rochester
fieshmen, and a bus tour of the
city and a guided visit to the
Mayo Clinic familiarized them
with the city which is to be their
home for the next nine months.
Activities for the week were
planned by a faculty committee,
headed by Mr. Kortz. Committee members were Miss Curry,
Miss Evans, Miss Madden, Mr.
Dubbert, Mr. Maxie, Mr. Willard
end Mr. Singley. Mr. Singley
