Sleighbells sounded through the snowy, frosty air. The wind
filled the air with powdery snow. The night was cold. Through all
the cold and snow the sleighbells continued to jingle merrily as the
two sleighlcads of JC students proceeded through Rochester.
Those who decided to brave the cold, icy weather met
at the Merry-Go-Round at 8:30 Saturday night, January 27.
At 9 o'clock the two sleighs, pulled by two pair of horses,
arrived,  and  soon  approximately  thirty  students  who  had
gathered were loaded into the sleighs and were off to ride
up and down over the hills of the southwest part of town.
After the short outing, the shivering party-goers poured into
the Merry-Go-Round.    There they drank and ate hot chocolate and different kinds of cookies until they felt warm and
cozy.    Some of the students made use of the jukebox and
danced;  others  played  cards.     About  midnight  the   party
broke up, and the Merry-Go-Round was empty once again.
The sleighride was planned by the sophomores at a sophomore
class meeting on Tuesday, January 23.   There they decided to sponsor
the party free of charge to both freshmen and sophomore students,
and to charge 25 cents for guest tickets.   Jeanne Arndt was in charge

louella Comes Calling
At Convo, January 25
Did you see the assembly last Friday, the one that spurred our
basketball team to victory in the R. J. C. vs. Worthington game?
Don't tell me you missed the Louella Parsons show? Let me tell you
about some of the fun you miss when you skip assemblies!
As we entered the auditorium we saw Tom Moran pacing up and
down the stage, telling us he didn't have anything for an assembly.
We were just getting ready to leave when Mickey Owens came dashing by, as a red-headed hobo, with buck teeth and all. Tom promptly
hired him to play two instruments

All those interested in amateur
photography may register at the
of the committee for obtaining the sleighs. Mary Ann Curley asked
the chaperones, who were Dr. and Mrs. Roy and Mr. and Mrs. "Wag"
Collins. The posters advertising the event were drawn by Noel Gray.
Kay Olson was in charge of serving the refreshments after the sleighride, and serving was Ruth Danks of the YWCA. Jack Wenstrup
helped her pour hot chocolate.

Erough and Clayton Tiede, who
did a Blues number for us.
Clayton and Tom Moran played "The Cricket and the Bull
Frog" later on in the program. It
certainly went over big with J. C. first session of the photography

Eleven   new   members   will   be
initiated   into   Phi   Theta   Kappa,
the National Honorary Society for
Junior   Colleges,   at   the   annual
banquet which will be held in the
Pine  Room  of the  Hotel  Carlton
on February 5 at 6:30.    The initiates were chosen at the beginning of the Winter Quarter.

12 of which are in Science,

Brough,    president;' Bob   Melbe,
vice-president;     Gloria     Frutiger,
secretary,   and   Margie   Masson,

jblajft Altered
To all men of J. C—those of
you who are left—there's good
news today! At least it's good
news if you prefer your Alma
Mater to Uncle Sam.
The draft board rules have
been changed to permit students called for induction to
finish a school year and still
pick their own branch of service in the armed forces.
Many students have been
dropping out of school at
mid-term in order to enlist in
the branch of service of their
choice, rather than to be called—to the infantry. Previous
to this, receipt of a draft call
has automatically meant that
the student was headed for
the army since the other services have been getting their
men by volunteers.
A student notified of a draft
call today gets deferment until
March or April and may then sign
up with whatever service he likes.
He then would finish his school
term before reporting for duty.
