Area High School Seniors
To Be Guests on March 18
■K
Committees have been busy for the past ten days organizing
plans for the OPEN HOUSE March 18, to be sponsored by the Secretarial Club and the pre-engineering students of RJC for the benefit
of area high school seniors interested in college secretarial, engineering, and academic work. The purpose of the event is to acquaint the
seniors with the facilities of RJC and to give them an opportunity to
ask questions and visit with the JC students and faculty. The Medical
and General Secretarial divisions as well as the Pre-engineering students, headed by Miss Ruth Towle, Miss Grace Madden, and Mr. Gerald Paul, respectively, have spared no effort to make this event a successful one.
The big event for the secretaries will get under way at four in the
afternoon in the library, with a social hour, an address of welcome
by Dean Goddard, guided tours through the building and our recreational center. At 5:30 they will join the pre-engineering seniors in
a buffet supper, after which Miss McGhee's Rajesters will entertain
them with scenes from their new spring play, "Holiday."
Co-chairmen of the event are
Barbara Brown and Joyce Stolp,
under whom the following committees will be working: Decorating Committee, Marilyn Holtorf
and Janet Edwards; Serving Committee, Irene Kruger, Edith de
Croot, Gerry Kennedy, Mary Hanson, Marilyn Holtorf and Janet

Beauty Reigns at
Winter Homecoming
The mock winter homecoming
festivities were held Saturday,
February 24, at the armory with
three major events taking place,
Providing a laugh for everyone, a
girls' basketball game started the
evening off, with the Freshman
and Sophomore teams competing.
Freshmen were Barb Brown, Phyllis Nelson, Janet Silker, Delores
Stoltenberg, and Doris Elford.
Sophomores were Ann Christensen, Marnea Harding, Delores
Predmore, Correne Gronvold, and
Nancy Bumgarner. Mr. Dubbert
and Miss Jack Wenstrup were the
refs, with Miss Wenstrup performing in her usual inimitable way.
After the game, which climaxed
when the refs were exhausted, the
crowning of the queen took place.
Ed Bigelow radiated beauty as he
gracefully sauntered onto the
floor carrying a cunning plunger
and smoking an exotic looking
pipe. Bob O'Neill was odorned
in a beautiful green job which
just matched his darting Irish eyes,
and received a big round of applause. Dick Husband, the other
attendant, also captured the eyes
of all those present as he swung
along the floor.    Kenneth Francis,
