J.C Attracts Many Students
p Area and Other States
After the completion of two weeks of school, the freshman class
tds the sophomore class by more than twice their total. Freshmen
tiber 372 and sophomores 149. In addition to this, there are
pedal students who are not students of St. Mary's School of
ling or the Methodist-Kahler School of Nursing. Therefore, the
■enrollment, not including students of the nursing program, is 547

Drama Department
mizes For Year
Orgai
"Again this year the drama
dept. of R.J.C. plans a big year,"
said Mr. Wise on September 15,
at the first Rajester meeting of
the 60-61 school year. Mr. Wise
explained the theatre program
and announced the four one act
plays to be given this year; forces, a drama, and comedy. The
two farces are Wm. Shakespeare's "Mid Summer Night's
Dream," and the "Sister Mcintosh," "Overtones" is the comedy
with an all girl cast, and "Submerged" is the melodrama. This
play has great dramatic content
to it and has won many high
school   play  contests.
The one acts will be double
cast in order for everyone to
participate. They will be cast A
and cast B. Casts are classified by
rehearsal time only. There will not
be a musical this year, but a
melodrama, which has not been
decided upon as yet.

New Friends Made at
Get Acquainted Mixer
Coffman Hall was the scene of
the annual J.C. "Get Acquainted
Mixer," which was held September 9. Our good friend, the late
Tom Edison's (may he rest in
peace) invention, the phonograph,
came in handy since the Jules
Herman band did not show up.
You could tell that everyone was
anxious to get acquainted because of the fact that some
people stood in segregated
groups.
It's unfortunate that everyone
was unable to take souveniers
home. It seems that the balloons
were broken in the middle of the
evening. The dance was planned
by the Student Council, which
includes the following:' Chuck
Johnson, president; Janice Larson,
Blake Smyth, Doris Wilkins, and
Bob Jenkins.
Rochester Students
Meet at Chamber
of Commerce Mixer
Wearing name tags around
their necks, new students walked
into Central Auditorium on Tuesday, September 20, the night of
the annual Freshman Mixer. The
new J.Cites were not the only
ones there, however; freshman
nurses from St. Mary's and The
Methodist Kahler Schools of Nursing also attended. This event was
sponsored by the Rochester Junior
Chamber of Commerce. An enjoyable time was had by all.
Freshman Class Leaders
To Be Elected Today
The phrases, "Elect Mr." and "Vote for Miss," are not only
familiar to the R.J.C. students, this being election year, but also
because it is time for the annual election of the freshmen class officers.
All of the freshmen have been paying particular attention to
the campaigning being done for the candidates and have in their
minds whom they want for their class officers.
Those candidates who possess leadership ability, poise, well
mannered habits, a friendly personality, and who are well organized
and good organizers are the candidates to be eleceted.
On September 13, following the Convocation in Central Auditorium, the freshmen held their first class meeting conducted by Chuck
Johnson, president of the Stutdent Council.   The following  freshmen
were nominated for the following
