Fall's most important J. C. social event will take place today;
today is Homecoming day, the day when old grads and present students get together for dignified ceremony and just plain fun. The first
Homecoming day activity will be the coronation assembly, at which
the yet unknown Homecoming queen will be crowned in a ceremony
with all the pomp and dignity of which Rochester Junior College is
capable. Whoever of the three lovely candidates has been elected, R. J. C. is assured of having a beautiful and charming queen this
homecoming season.
Preceding the game this evening .will be a get-together with a
roaring bonfire to lend the proper atmosphere. This year's Homecoming game is with the Carleton freshman team and should be thrilling.
With the cheering support of the whole student body, our Yellowjackets should gain a well deserved victory.
Topping the wave of Homecoming spirit, the Homecoming dance
will take place in the North Hall of the Auditorium after the football
game. With student-made decorations, and punch and cookies for
the chow-hounds, the dance wiil.Joe a magnificent success.
We chose our queen on Monday, October 6. Eight girls were
nominated for the queenship at a rather chaotic convocation held in
Coffman Hall.    From the nominees, Edith deGroot, Nancy Edwards,

Sue Blethen arranged for chaperones.
Anyone who needed transportation met at school.    LeRoy Hart
and Don Capriotti took charge of obtaining transportation.
At the beginning of the year,
a poster committee was appointed. This committee is in charge
of all advertising for any activities that come up. The following people are on this committee: Romayne McKnight, chair-
m a n; Charles Martin, Robert
Haueter, and David Waldimar.
These people took care of the
advertising for the mixer picnic.

If you had roamed the halls of
J. C. a few days before our first
football game you would have
heard, "Where are you going after the Bethel game Saturday
night?" "Why, up to the dance,
I wouldn't miss it for anything."
And so approximately 125 students jammed the north gym of
Coffman building on Saturday
night, September 27.
Dancing until 12 was number
one on the program. Many
thanks go to John Dreher, David
Lull, and Douglas Betts, who took
care of changing records during
the entire evening of fun. Records for dancing were furnished
by students. Our school has purchased a new record player with
a microphone that will be used
at all our mixers and important
events.
Bar-B-Q's and soft drinks made
up the menu. The mixer was
planned by the Student Council,
headed by Bob Ripple. Publicity
was taken care of Toy Romayne
McKnight and her poster crew.
Dean Goddard and Miss Evans
were chaperones for a very successful mixer.

The freshmen attended a follow-up orientation lecture on
Monday, October 6, on "How to
Study for Examinations," given
by Mr. Dubbert, mathematics instructor. The lecture consisted of
two main divisions: preparing for
examinations, and taking the examinations.
In preparing for an examination, the importance of daily
studying and reviewing was
stressed. Some of the other factors connected with the studying
for examinations were good physical condition and the importance
of the equipment necessary to
take the test.
Ttie different methods of examinations were explained. Also,
the importance of budgeting of
time for these types of examinations was pointed out.
Stress was put on the importance of careful observation of
instructions. The instructors give
you instructions for a purpose and
if they are- not followed it becomes a serious matter.
At the«closo of the lecture, Mr.
Dubbert showed slides of some
previous examinations.     In  these
