Spring Play Audience
Intrigued by "Holiday"
A most apprciative audience of more than 400 people attended
the Junior College production of Philip Barry's sophisticated comedy,
"Holiday." The play, which revolves around members of New York's
"smart set," deals with the problems faced by a young, self-made
lawyer who wants fo marry one of the daughters of a wealthy banker.
Father opposes the match, and the lawyer soon discovers that his
daughter shares his snobbish interests. Not so with the whole family,
however. Linda, the other daughter, proves to be just what he is
looking for.
Jerry Westlund as Edward Seton, Ann Christensen as Julia Seton,
Darlene Matheson as Linda Seton, Dick Husband as Ned Seton,
George Ploetz as Johnny Case, Harriet Gilbert and Don Phillips as
Laura and Seton Cram, Bob Ripple and Marnea Harding as Nick and
Susan Potter, together with Ken Francis, Bill Larson, and Mary Hanson
as the servants provided the complications and final solution to the
problem. Effective characterizations gave the play suspense and the
ring of truth.
The play was directed by Miss Flora McGhee. Music was provided by anise Wees and Correne Gronvold was stage manager.
The second-act scenery was designed and constructed by

SPRING   VACATION
Dr. Mayo To Speak
On Recent Global Trip
Friday morning, April 4, the
students of RJC will be privileged
to hear Dr. Charles Mayo talk on
his recent trip around the world.
Dr. Mayo traveled with a health
organization which left from San
Francisco, California. The doctor was especially interested in
seeing the effects of the United
States sending agricultural teachers to the different countries to
teach them new ways of improving their methods of agriculture.
With the help of a lieutenant, Dr.
Mayo took photographs and will
illustrate his talks through the use
of slides.
Also Dr. Mayo was especially
interested in the new method of
transporting t h e wounded in
Korea to hospitals. Being transported by helicopter, the wounded soldiers can be given blood
plasma enroute to a hospital, and
thus many lives are now being
saved which might not have been
saved before.

SPRING   VACATION
Male and Female
Roles Reversed
For Twerp Week
Friday evening, March 21, the
annual Twerp Week Dance was
held in the North Gym, bringing
to a close the Twerp Week turnabout activities. These activities
started Wednesday morning with
the issuance of the Constitution
to be followed by all females,
and ended with the dance Friday night. The Constitution stated that, "fhe young women of
Rochester Junior College must
take over the duties usually assigned fo the young men, and the
young women must treat the men
with all the courtesies and chivalry which they are unaccustomed to." Rules governing conduct
during Twerp Week were also
stated in the Constitution, and included such things as letting the
boys win all games at the Merry-
Go-Round, holding the door for
the man and always allowing him
to proceed into the room before
her, sharpening pencils and pulling out chairs for the boys in the
classroom, and holding the drinking fountains, making sure the
water doesn't hit him in the eye.
The girls were required to pay
all expenses for the dance such
as: tickets, the snack afterwards,
and even the gas in her family
car. Beautiful vegetable corsages
were the style of the evening, and
a great variety were in evidence.
Dean Goddard Mr- Kortz Awarded
Vacations and
Visits South
Dean Roy W. Goddard and his
wife spent a very enjoyable two
weeks' vacation in the South.
They travelled to Mississippi, the
Ozarks, then northward through
Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and
Illinois. The Goddards hoped to
be able to do a great deal of
fishing, their principal interest,
but they changed their mind because of rainy weather.
Instead, they proceeded to enjoy a hobby they often follow
when travelling, visiting o I d
homes. The Goddards visited the
home of Jackson in Nashville,
Tennessee, and Lincoln's two
homes in Kentucky. They then
journeyed to the Goddard's home
built at Goddard, Kentucky about
160 years ago, thereafter following the migration of the family
westward through Kentucky and
Illinois and studying the architecture of the homes they built.
Dean Goddard says, "The
South is making wonderful progress in education, and in Mississippi and Kentucky there were
practically no one-room country
school houses; all of the buildings
are very modern and up-to-date."
