CORRECTION!
No, there aren't 166 men
and 168 women in the freshman class as printed in the
September 27 issue of the
Echo! Here are the correct
figures: 166 men and 98
women bring the total enrollment to 264. There are
110 freshman boys, and 69
girls, 46 men to 28 sophomore girls. Junior College
also has two post-grad students and nine special students.
Best Wishes To
Joy Pickett!
Four years ago, there came
to R. J. C, a new secretary,
filled with ambition and dedicated to the task of assisting our registrar, Mrs. Creal.
This new secretary was Joy
Pickett, now a familiar personality around Junior College. However, we regret to
hear that Joy will be leaving
us. She is planning a vacation for the winter, a tour of
the country, with an extended stay at Phoenix, Arizona,
where she will accept a position for the winter. Joy plans
to return to Rochester again
in the spring. We will all
miss her familiar face in the
halls, but we want to wish
her the best of luck and a
wonderful vacation!
Oct. 12 Marks First
Rajester Skits
Next Thursday, October 12,
the Rajesters will make their debut
at the first Pep Fest. The blackout "Razzberries" and a black
face sketch, will be put on.
"Razzberries" takes place in a
drug store. Frank Wenstrup plays
the soda jerk, Marnea Harding
and Nancy Bumgarner are the
customers, and Dave Holmberg
will be the "hick."
The second production, a
blackface sketch, involves
two baggage men with Tom
Moran as Flatnose Jackson,
and Foster J. Klickman as
Lasses Snowball. Frank Wenstrup portrays the stage manager. Both of these "little
masterpieces" have surprise
endings.
Plans for the Rajesters' one-act
play, an old-fashioned "meller-
crama" are under way with
"Heaven Protect the Working
Girl" being considered for production. Miss McGhee is also
planning a dinner to be held November 13 for the Rajesters and
Delta Psi Omega members.
Dr. Roy Directs Student Groups
For Successful October 21 Festivities
This year, October 21, is the date of the fall event. Plans are
already underway with Gloria Frutiger and Lois Peterson in charge
of food, flowers, and a band. Pep Club is handling the decorations
and tickets.
Dean   Goddard   has   appointed Dr. Roy as the coordinator for Homecoming activities.   Dr. Roy's representatives fo  rthis  big  event are
the    faculty    advisors    and
chairmen    of   each    of   the
school organizations.
On   Monday,   October   2,   Dr.
Roy   held   a   coffee   hour   in   the
Central     Cafeteria    for    student
leaders  and  faculty  sponsors  of
college   activities.     While   coffee
was sipped, Dr. Roy outlined the
various     activities     included     in
Homecoming  festivities.     First on
the agenda was a  discussion  of
the J. C. Pep Band.    Jim Brough
volunteered   to   try   and   interest
instrumentalists     in     forming     a
band.
The Student Council, represented by president, James Hammer,
decided to.take over the election
of a Homecoming queen. Miss
Goette and Miss McGhee's Rajesters will plan the crowning
ceremony at the Pep Assembly on
October 20. The presentation of
the queen between halves at the
game will be handled by the two
publication staffs, the Rajuco and
Echo.
Omega Pi Tau will procure
small   mums for  all  the  students to wear on Friday, October 20.    Pep Club has the
responsibility to plan .all pre-
game  activities  such   as  the
snake dance, bonfire.    I. R.
C. agreed to handle posters
for the event while the Rajuco and Echo will plan radio
and newspaper publicity.
Miss McGhee will have the help
of the Rajesters in arranging activities   for  the   alumni.     All   responsibilities related to the dance
itself  will   be   controlled   by  the
social committee with the Varsity
Club selling tickets.
Dr. Roy expressed his hope
that this general meeting will
help all college activities coordinate their efforts for greater success.
Dean Conducts
Iowa Classes
Dean Goddard conducted sections on the Junior College at the
Iowa Multiple County Institute
from September 18 to September
21 and from the twenty-fifth to
the twenty-seventh. These were
held in seven cities, Webster City,
Boone, Estherville, Spencer, Fort
Dodge, and Shenendoah.
The Multiple County Institute is held for teachers.
There are thirty-two county
sections, and each section is
composed of about three
counties. Besides the elementary and high-school sections, this year, for the first
time, Iowa has put in a section for junior colleges. At
the institute twelve junior
colleges were  represented.
The dean discovered that the
most common problems presented
by the Iowa colleges were the
development of terminal and
adult educational programs)
problems our own junior college
has solved for the most part.
J.C.'S TO SKATE

a general get-together of J. C.
kids," explains Glenn Patterson.
"The more, the merrier—We think
it will be fun," he adds.
