Deferment Test
Given in Area
Seven area male college students took the selective service
college qualification test at the
Rochester Junior College last
Thursday morning.
The test is being given nationwide, the second in a series given to provide draft boards with
evidence of the aptitude of registrants for college work to be
used as guidance in considering
college students for deferment
from service in the armed forces.
To be eligible to apply for the
test, a student must intend to request deferment as a student,.be
satisfactorily pursuing a full time
college course, and must not previously have taken the tests. The
tests are conducted by the Educational Testing service of Princeton, N. J. Miss Mary Goette, of
the Junior College staff, was in
charge of the test given here.
Twenty-eight men students from
the Junior College are earning
some extra Christmas money this
year by working in the Post Office during fhe pfe-holiday rush.
Twenty of these have been working full time since last Saturday,
and the other eight are working
part time. Some of them are
working on carrier routes, while
others work, in the Post Office itself.
The Junior College and the Post
Office have cooperated in this
program for many years. Many
other colleges throughout the
country also have a similar program.
To qualify for the work, an application had to be filled out by
November 28. Dean Goddard
then classified the applications
according to academic standing.
Those students with low grades
were allowed to work only part
time. This was a departure from
other years when a student could
make his own decision concerning the length of his working
time. After classification there
was an interview with Postmaster
Feller for those students who had
not worked in the Post Office before.
According to Dean Goddard
the Postmaster has always highly
praised the work done by the
students.
"Sno Ball" Formal
Ushers in Holidays
"Sno Ball" was the theme of R. J. C.'s winter formal held in the
Valencia Ballroom, Tuesday, December 18, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Henry Burton and his band furnished the music for the evening ot
dancing.
Decorations, harmonizing with the theme, included snowmen
made of popcorn at every table, Christmas trees sprayed with snow,
and a large snowman as centerpiece on the dance floor. Dance programs, with a picture of Frosty the Snowman on the cover, proved
to be very interesting and entertaining. Refreshments were served
throughout the evening by the students, and the program proved
to be very entertaining.
