year in assemblies, pep meetings,
and the all-college spring production is again opening its doors to
all freshmen who are interested. A
great variety of plays, long and
short, serious and otherwise, have

Anyone interested in dramatic

She has some very interesting
melodramas and monologues.

value to the town. A committee
on Cooperative Training undertook the organization of a program to extend work experience

Next Tuesday, September 4,
"old" J. S. students will file back
into the ivy halls of Coffman
Building to begin registering for
Fall Quarter. Enrollment for the
fall term is expected to decline to
approximately 200 as result of
draft, enlistments, and unusually
good employment conditions,
states Dean Goddard.
The Dean also explained that
only eight or ten veterans are
expected to attend junior college under the GI educational ,
system. Rights under the bill expired in July; only veterans
who have been in school under
the bill are now eligible for its
