Homemakers Night
Food, Fun and Frolic To Be
Featured at Spring Picnic
As you no doubt know by now from the various posters and literature you have seen, and by the Social Committee members doing
their utmost to get you to buy at least three tickets, the annual Spring
Picnic is coming up. All you sophomores remember what a great
time you had last year climbing hills, getting lost in fhe woods, playing
softball, and sailing on a raft.
This year's picnic at Whitewater State Park is scheduled for May
8, at 3:00 P.M. All you lab students take note of this and take advantage of the situation. With classes dismissed at 3:00 P.M. you will
have only one hour of lab. It you don't have a car, the Social Committee will  provide transportation for you.
Everyone can enjoy himself-
climbing "mountains" or playing
softbdll or volleyball, whichever
sport he finds most diverting. Per-
The very popular classes in
homemaking at the Rochester
Evening Community College, under the supervision of Mrs. Bock,
climaxed their year last Thursday,
May lst, in the presentation of
their annual "Homemakers Night."
The evening began at 7:30 in
the Central auditorium with the
modeling of clothes made in the
sewing and tailoring class, followed with demonstrations by the
upholstery students in the art of
making old furniture look new.
The scene of activity was then
burg, Marilyn Holtorf, Edith de
Groot, Janet Edwards, Beverly

pass the gavel, symbol of the
student body leadership, to Robert Ripple, Student Council president for  1952-53.

Civil Rights
Panel Held
The last planned convocation
of the year, a discussion of Civil
Rights, was held Thursday morning, May 1, in Coffman Hall.
The panel discussion concerned
racial problems relating to F. E.
P. C, housing, employment, and
civil liberties. Members of the
panel were: Iwin Glatstein, Executive Director of the Minnesota
Jewish Council; Shelton Granger,
Executive Secretary of the Minneapolis Urban League,- and Dr.
Albert Mann, Chairman of the
Migrant Labor committee of the
Minnesota State Council of
Churches.
According to Miss Goette this
was the last planned convocation
for the rest of the year. The
sophomores have considered putting on a convocation, but nothing definite has been decided as
yet. The convocation committee
meets this week and may plan
one more convocation before the
end of the year.
haps you can even go swimming
if weather permits, or if there
aren't too many frogs' eggs in the
lake.
If some of you boys are worrying about the food situation, there
is no cause for such. The Social
Committee plans to have hot dogs,
potato chips, mqrshmallows, and
cokes, milk, or coffee. There will
be plenty of food to take care of
everyone's appetite.
The picnic is not a date affair,
so if one of the members of the
Social Committee — Marilyn Holtorf, Janet Edwards, Pat Blethen,
Marnea Harding, Nancy Bumgarner, Bob O'Neil, Dave Hunt, or
Don Capriotti — has not cornered
you yet, by all means find one of
them and buy a ticket for this gala
event. Let's make this the most
successful social event of the year.
