News: Spotlight Amundsen High has been fortu- nate to obtain a new spotlight, of the latest theatrical type! The spot- light, which is 1500 candlepower. was secured by the school early last spring ami was used in the last Senior Play. Due to the fact that the old one was quite hard to ma- nipulate, the following features prove to be just what Amundsen needs: colors change' automatically with the flick of a switch, sharp t'ocusing can be obtained tthe range being from a small head circle to a. full stagej, horizontal shutoffs enable it to throw a rectangular- shaped beam of light, and, there is an automatic fade out! This new addition will be a great aid to the variety shows, plays, and various other school programs. by Sue Kott Five hundred students have en- rolled in the Junior College Branch at Amumisen High during registra- tion week. September 5-11. Amundscn is able to accommodate about seven humlred ami fifty col- lege stmlents. The college day be- gins at 2:30 in the afternoon ami continues until 10 in the evening. lt is hoped that by next semester there will be a full time schedule with the day beginning at 8:00 ami ending at 10. At present there aren't any Friday night classes, so the Amundsen Social Center will be continued. The drama room 306 has now been converted into a library and lounge, ami 201 is being used as the main office. For day classes the college uses: 314, 307, 216, 215, 214, and 212. Evening classes are held in rooms: 329, 323, 322, 313, 223, 213, 207, and 103. The various courses offered are: biology, Eng- lish, mathematics, American his- tory, social science, speech, physics, physical science, accounting, short- hand, typing, French, blueprint reading, business law, music, ele- mentary electronics, Spanish, sales- rnanship, and economics. The college is under the direction of Dean Turner H. Trimble, a col- lege instructor ami administrator for twenty-three years. Dean Trim- Dean Turner H.
