l4Jo*Ju Overtime
Perhaps those of you unfamiliar with the intricate
manipulations of the Echo
are surprised at the quick
follow-up, and will be even
more surprised when another
issue appears next week. It
is even reported that those
who believed themselves familiar are surprised. This is
the explanation. There is a
required number of issues to
be printed during the school
year. To enable the staff to
put out an issue with the JC
Centennial Queen's picture in
it on the same day that she
was crowned, an issue was
skipped. That missing issue
is now being  made  up.
Because of this, the Echo
may be a little short on news,
but it is felt that the novelty
of having a weekly—even for
such a short time—will compensate for the loss.
Carnival Atmosphere Invades JC
Welcome
toJC,
Seniors
After two postponements the
Echo Carnival was held Friday
evening, March 26, for a crowd
of almost two hundred. The carnival was held in the hails and
classrooms   of   RJC.
Thirteen concessions were set
up that included bingo, cake
walk, dart throwing, penny toss,
and a bomber game. The bomber game was an especially interesting game built by Lynn Peeler,
which consisted of a high flying
plane dropping steel pellets onto
a target. JC students found the
Rogue Gallery revealing, for in
this gallery were the childhood
pictures of many of the faculty
members with the object being
to match names with faces. Pat
Cooper came out best and was
awarded a box of candy.
Door prizes were given every
hour. At 9:00, Miss Ingli won
a box of candy, at 10:00, Miss
Towle won a box of stationery,
end the 11:00 award went to
Bob Williams, a bottle of perfume.
Another of the guessing games
was the old reliable, "Guess the
number of beans and win a
prize." Don Lilly did just that
and went home with a pair of
size 6'/2 red sneakers.
Strictly as entertainment a
magic show and skit were also
given. Charles Martin performed as the very capable magician,
and five members of the Rajesters
—Margaret Lee, Tuck Erickson,
Jerry Oleurd, Dick Haaman, and
Carl Peterson—played the characters in "Fishnet." Also in the line
of entertainment, the JC Jazz
Band under the direction of Mr.
Dubbert, beat out a few numbers.
Entrants were few in the Art
Contest, but the winning entries
were considered outstanding.
Charles Martin placed first with
an oil painting, "Meditation,-"
Cave Waldemar received second
with a still life water painting;
ond third was given to Jim
Schoenroek for his sculpture, "The
Pugilist."
To help make the carnival a
success a number of Rochester
business places donated merchandise to be awarded as
prizes. These were: Penney's—
three pair of nylon hose, four
men's ties, two silk scarves, and
a package ot men's handker-
cniefs,- Massey's—a bottle of perfume; Holland's Bakery—a cake;
Quality Printing Co.—twelve ball
point pens,- Lawler theatre—six
movie passes; Peggy's Uniform
Shop—a sewing kit; Ina May Uniform Shoppe—a two dollar gift
certificate; Georgia Bronson Candy Shop—a box of candy; Fanny
Farmer Candy Store—a box of
candy,- O & B Shoe Store—a pair
of sneakers; Adam's—a box of
stationery.
