A total of $400 has been
granted to the Rochester Junior
College by the Educational Foundation of the American Board of
Opticianry, to be used in achievement awards or scholarships during 1954, it was announced at
the eighth annual fall dinner of
the RJC faculty and students in
ophthalmic optics several weeks
ago.
The announcement was made
by Leslie W. Myers of the Benson Optical Company, who is
chairman of the Educational
foundation. He explained that
the $400, the largest outside
grant for scholarships ever received here, can be distributed
in such amounts and at such periods   during   the   course   as   is
judged best by the dean and the
special   faculty  in  opticianry.
The dinner was held at the
White House in Oronoco. Thirty
persons attended, including four
members of the executive groups
of three large manufacturing optical companies and prescription
laboratories in the United States.
After-dinner talks were given
by Roy W. Goddard, who was
dean of the college when the
course in optics was started;
Charles E. Hill, new dean of the
college,- and Dr. W. L. Benedict,
secretary of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
James Hammer, an alumnus of
the course, now employed by the
Benson Company, gave a report
on work of the alumni. Cliff
Lawrence spoke for the course
sophomores, and Al Heath for the
freshmen in expressing gratitude
for the interest and help given
by the optic companies to make
the course  possible.
The educational needs of a
collegiate and practical character
and the services to be rendered
to the eye professions and to the
public were discussed by Fay
Freeman and Al Fandel of the
American Optical company, Jack
Coffey of the Bausch and Lomb
Optical company, and Myers of
Benson Optical company.
They indicated their interest in
and support of the work in optics at Rochester Junior College,
where the course was established
in 1946, with Dr. Charles Sheard
in charge. This was the first such
course in the country.
PO Employs
JC Students
Christmas vacation employment
at the Post Office is an annual
occasion for Junior College students. Those who wish to do manual labor during the two weeks,
free from academic care, are
sometimes released from classes
early in order to be able to start
work when called.
Veterans with families, and unmarried veterans are given priority in obtaining the much coveted
Post Office jobs. All other applications are accepted according
to "first come, first served."
Some of the temporary help
will be given inside jobs such as
sorting, clerking, and various important positions. Others of the
Christmas help will be given carrier routes and jobs on Parcel
Post trucks. Still others will rent
or drive their own cars for special delivery use.

Rajuco Work
Moves Ahead
If you see some people running around JC with that run
down look and a vacant stare in
their eyes, it may not be from
the quarter exams. They may be
members of the Rajuco staff who
have been working hard to give
you a good yearbook next spring.
Rajuco editor Sue Rye and her
staff have already completed a
good deal of the Rajuco for next
year. The faculty section under
the ediitorishp of Bev Honer and
Jo Gahler, and the freshman section, with Sandra Harding as editor, have both been completed.
There will be 16 pages completed by December 15 plus the title
page, pictures of activities, table
of contents, and much art Work.

Economics Class
Tours Bakery
"Oh that smell," or "Am I ever
getting hungry" were the words
coming from the Economics 87
class as they spent the morning
of Tuesday, November 10, touring the Star Bread Bakery. The
students were accompanied by
their instructor, Mr. Phillip Kortz.
Upon their arrival the students
were introduced to Mr. Kolb, the
guide, and proceeded to the
basement of the four story building. Here they witnessed the
very large supply room containing many thousands of pounds of
flour in paper and cloth bags.
The Star Bakery purchases its
flour' from two milling companies
in Rapid City, South Dakota. The
stock room also contained supplies, including raisins, drums of
lard, labels and wrappers. One
roll of wrapping paper will wrap
1,500 loaves of bread.
Upon leaving the stock room,
the students were taken to the
sifter, where they saw flour go
through eight different operations.     The    bakery    mixes   two

Rajesters to Present
Last Try-out Drama
A blue teapot is an important
symbol—in fact, a central character—in the little comedy of domestic friction that the Rajesters have
chosen for their third try-out number. "The Blue Teapot," by Jean
Lee Lathane, will be given penthouse production on Tuesday evening, December 15, in'Room 404.
The story concerns James and
Cynthia, two headstrong young
moderns who have quarreled and
are about to break off their engagement. James' "adopted"
grandparents with quaint humor
and droll scheming help greatly
to bring a happy ending to this
play.
The cast is composed of Jim
Evans as James, and Norma Jean
Walhus as Cynthia.    Richard Jen-
sen will play the part of
"Gramp," while Norma Jean Anderson and Stella Olson will alternate in characterizing "Gran."
Handling make-up will be Jon
Richmond, and. Rick Kiefer is in
charge of publicity. Other staff
members are LeRoy Christopherson, Gerald Lehnherr, and Victor
Batzel.
The present drama club members and all candidates in previous try-out programs are urged
to attend—even to invite one or
two guests.
After the play refreshments
will be served by Gloria Chafoulias, Elaine Harvey, Charlotte Blumers, Margaret Lee, David Kruger, Tom Erickson, and Jerry Olerud, while the group considers the
all-college spring  production.
