At Convocation
This year's opening convocation on September 5, at the Central Auditorium, was highlighted
by an address given by Dr. Charles Sheard, instructor in ophthalmic optics and physics in Rochester Junior College.
Dr. Sheard's opening words will
be long remembered, "I am sure
we have assembled here this morning in humility and humbleness,
knowing how little any of us know
and how much there is to learn,
especially concerning man's relations and contacts with his fellow
man. We have come here this
morning with faith, in hope and
with charity. We have come with
a faith in the survival of that
which is right and true and beautiful beyond all compare—faith in
our God—"God's in his Heaven,
all's right with the world"—faith
that the sunshine will wash away
the tears, and that the heartaches
and struggles of man shall not be
n vain and that nothing that   is
•ate
i
je of the" public health pro-     good and true shall perish or be
of Rochester and Olmsted     lost.    We have come   here ' this
which is administered  by     morning   in   the   hope    that   the
Bktor Wilson.    This program     sword shall again be turned into
sidered one of the finest in     the   ploughshare-hope  that   the
things of the soul and the spiritual
self will supercede and control the
things of materialism and the animal self—hope that man may live
in peace beside his fellow man,
when none shall work for money
alone and none shall work for
fame alone, but each for the joy
of working shall draw the thing as
he sees it."

Students Express
Viewpoint in Panel
Follow-up on Orientation Week
lectures began with a lecture given by Miss Matt on "Reading" in
Coffman Hall, Wednesday, September 12th, at 9 o'clock.
Miss Matt explained to the
freshmen how to go about reading material so that they get the
most out of what is read. Aided
by the new opaque projector of
Visual Aid Department and typed
selections she pointed out the way
to find a topic sentence by spotting important words usedthrough-
out the material, taking special
notice of the first and last sentence in a paragraph, and the
first and last paragraph of each
chapter. The importance of finding the main idea whether it is
written or just implied was also
stressed.
A panel discussion was used
for the follow-up on the lecture
on "How to Study" Tuesday,
September 18th, at 11 o'clock.
James Hammer, last year's Student Council President at J. C.
acted as the moderator with Patricia Blethen, Chuck Eichten,
and Marilyn Holtorf, freshmen,
and Dick Fitzgerald, Marnea
Harding, Donna Mathison, and
Jack Wenstrup, sophomores,
participating in the discussion.
Some of the topics brought to
light by these students were: general study problems in connection
with the need for concentration
and adequate physical surroundings, problems of high school student in transferring to college,
how to plan extra-curricular activities wisely, the problem of the
working student, and the general
problem of budgeting your time
with regard to everything that has
to be accomplished. The students
presented these from the viewpoint of freshmen just forming
plans for the sophomores who are
already experienced in these matters. Miss Barthelemy, chairman,
Miss Evans and Miss Goette helped to plan the program.
Two more follow-up programs
are being planned and will be
presented on October 2nd and
October 10th.

Join Freshman Class
As in all other colleges of the United States, the 1951 fall quarter enrollment of Rochester Junior College showed a drop of about
one-third the number of students who enrolled at the beginning of
the 1950 fall quarter inspite of the fact that the largest percentage
of the 1951 Rochester High School graduates going to college are
attending our junior college. However, while one-half of the 1950
high school class went on to college, only one-third of the 1951 class
are continuing their studies.
R. H. S. students at J.C. this
year are: Gail Anderson, Bill Anton, Dennis Becker, Douglas Befts,
Patricia Blethen, Richard Boutelle,
Barbara Brown, John Burbank,
Helen Chonis, Georgia Choura-

Adults Offered
Varied Program
The week of September 17 will
find classes under way in the Evening Community College. The college, organized to extend educational opportunties to adults, offers a wide variety of trade, commercial, homemaking, and general
interest classes in addition to junior college classes.
Extension classes for the University of Minnesota and Winona
State Teachers College will be organized during fhe year. Evening
classes in general biology, English
composition, American history, beginning Spanish and French are
among those offered by the junior college for credit.
Special interest courses, such as
English for foreigners, general interest courses such as beginning
photography and practical public
speaking, commercial courses in
beginning typing and shorthand,
occupational and trade classes in
business law and related plumbing, homemaking classes, such as
beginning tailoring and lamp
shade making, are but a few of
those offered to interested adults
and out-of-school young people.
Additional classes will be organized from time to time if a sufficient number of people request
them and if qualified instructors
and appropriate facilities can be
found.
The nominal class fees and convenient evening hours have helped
to make the Evening Community
College a success. The increase
in enrollment from 250 students in
1945 fo 2,467 in 1950 perhaps
speaks best for its increasing popularity.
Enrolled from Lourdes High
School are Charles Breckle, Francis Dee, Luan Goodman, Thomas
Hennessey, Anita Nelson, Margaret McConnell, Mayo Priebe,
and Daniel Ridler.
In both freshman and sophomore classes there is a distinct
shortage of girls. The freshman
class is made up of 63 boys and
37 girls. Last year there were 90
boys and 64 girls. There are 45
boys and 21 girls in the sophomore class this year; 71 new boys
and 53 new girls, which makes a
total of 124 new students, have
started J. C. this fall. Out of 90
who were freshmen last year 49
