|oiiiid Jk. Monkey —
rew Sought Props?
Finding a pet monkey, realistic properties, and 1920's suits have
lighted the recnt activities of the production crew for "Inherit the
|id," RJC's major play scheduled for February 22 arid 23.
The 54 member crew was chosen about two weeks ago, and
le then has finished a great deal of the technical work "Inherit
| Wind" requires.
In charge of the crew are: Larry Schuette, stage manager; Judy
|nolly, Donna Linderbaum, and Vicki Sizer, assistant stage mangers.
Gail Carroll is student assistant fo RJC play director Robert O.
e.
The most interesting problem in production so far has been solved
I the properties crew.   They found a pet organ grinder monkey to
used in one scene.
The monkey, named George, belongs to Jennine Hiel, a JC
Pent, and her mother. The animal has never appeared on stage,
[lennine .accompanies it to each practice.
Properties like George are an important part of "Inherit the
Jd" because they must be realistic, and because the play requires
pany.
The crew in charge of finding props includes: Pat Harms, Chr.,
Rinia Cassidy, Susan Oegler, Linda Rapp, Janet Rongley, Cheryl
ftad, Karen Anderson, Marg Schneider, Vickie Olson.
Another crew with difficult problems to solve is Costumes. The
|y takes place in the 1920's, and realistic costumes from that period
I needed.
Students of JC are being requested to search attics and closets

The newly formed Rochester Junior College Foundation hopes to
establish one new scholarship this year, and undertake more projects
as soon as funds become available, Dean Charles Hill, Foundation
Secretary-Treasurer said last week.
The RJC Foundation was chartered in September 1961 to accept
gifts on behalf of the college. In November 1962, the first organized
solicitation of funds was begun among 700 known graduates and
friends of RJC.
The most immediate result of that solicitation will be the establishment of at least one scholarship, which probably will be awarded
at the Spring Banquet in May.
"The present thinking will be to grant a several hundred dollar
scholarship to one outstanding graduate of JC for continuing his or
her higher education," the Dean explained.
Final decision on the amount of such a scholarship and whether
more than one can be offered has not been made by the Foundation
Board. The recipients of any scholarships would be determined by

Nominate
Boosters
The nominations for the Booster
Cup award were made last week
by RJC freshmen and sophomores.
This award is given to a sophomore who according to tradition
"has been a leader and has accepted responsibility, has the respect of the students and is a good
representative of Rochester Junior
College, is active in JC organizations and a loyal supporter of
college activities, and is a person
who has given time and ideas toward the betterment of our Junior
College.
The award is presented to the
unkown recipient at the annual
Spring Banquet. The Booster Cup
is the only award given as a re
result of student vote.
Robert O. Wise, Dean of Student Affairs, said, that The Booster
Cup is probably the greatest distinction or honor that a JC student
can receive during his JC career.
This choice as a student who has
given the greatest service and
leadership to the school is probably most accurate because it is
determined by the students. "In
my new position in student affairs,
I have had reaffirmed time and
time again my faith in the student's ability to single out wisely
their own leaders."
The ten sophomores who have
been nominated and are eligible
for this year's Booster Cup award
