Last Sections of Yearbook Completed «J-C. Plans Open House
For High School Seniors
' The last sections of the Rajuco,
►       'JC's year book, have now been
 ent in  for  printing.     These   last
 ,ections to go in were the sports
ection, the .last half of the ac-
vities section, and the two pages
f Who's Who. Twenty-seven
C'ers are featured in the Who's
Who section which is to be a
wo page spread of photographs.
As has already been announc-
d, the Rajuco this year is dedi-
ated to the pioneers of Roches-

«en used  throughout the book.
Bob Haueter, art editor, has done
drawings for the dedication, title,
' and table of contents pages, as
well as various drawings throughout the book, all based on the
Centennial theme.
The division pages of this
year's Rajuco will be composed
of silhouettes of JC students in
various school activities. In keeping with this silhouette idea, the
sports section will have one page
of individual pictures, of the Yellowjacket basketball players.
Other new features in this Ra
juco will be a history of the soph-

new section, the freshman section. The activities section will
show scenes of the Centennial
Ball, the Spring Prom of 1953,

and the Spring Banquet.
This year's RAJUCO editor is

college. Thirty-six senior classes from high schools within an approximate fifty mile radius have been invited along with their faculty
