Junior College Play HE clever comedy, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,’’ was enthusiastically received by an appreciative audience on December 4. This story of a woman left by her husband to bring up her large family brought both tears and laughter from those looking on. The weaving of the events of the Cabbage Patch around the Wiggs family caused complications, but they all led to bringing Mr. Wiggs back to his wife. Vivian Bailey, Esther Schweitzer, and Emeline Anderson very cleverly played the parts of the three mischievous daughters of Mrs. Wiggs—Europena, Austry, and Asia. Billy Wiggs (Jack Korn) and Chris Hazy (Don Oakes) kept a hilarious note through the whole play, as did the drunken Mr. Stubbins (Henry Hart) and the hysterical Miss Hazy (Caroline Marston). Mrs. Wiggs (Norma Curtis) showed her kindly and ruling spirit in running her unruly household, in managing other people’s affairs—promoting the marriage of Miss Hazy and Mr. Stubbins with the help of Hunkerdunkus Jones, agent (John Kavanagh) and the affair of Miss Lucy and Mr. Bob, and her protection of the runaway orphan, Lovey Mary (Madeline Race.) The German ladies were very clever claracter sketches by Alice DeWaele and Made- line Hadcock. Through the efforts of Mr. Klingbeil, director, and the large, talented cast, ‘‘Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch”’ was highly successful and well recerved. Members of the cast: Mrs Wiggs, Norma Curtis; Lovey Mary, Madeline Race; Miss Hazy, Caroline Mar- ston; Miss Lucy, Lorraine DeWaele; Mrs. Eichorn, Alice DeWaele; Mrs. Schultz, Made- line Hadcock; Asia, Vivian Bailey; Austry, Esther Schweitzer; Europena, Emeline Ander- son; Mr. Stubbins, Henry Hart; Mr. Wiggs, Phillip Patterson; Mr. Bob, Gerald Johnson; Billy Wiggs, Jack Korn; Chris Hazy, Don Oakes; H. Jones, John Kavanagh; Sheriff, Dave Miller; Tina Viney, Joan Mallet; Deacon, Joe MacPhail; Brother Splicer, Joe Biller; Mr. Schultz, Bill Fogg. The J. C. Dramatics Club was organized shortly after the production of the annual J.C. play, “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch.’’ Norma Curtis, who with Miss Lola Bishop and Caroline Marston helped the club get underway with this year’s work, held the office of president for the first semester and was succeeded by Caroline Marston.

TD GE: eS Cwke WaGa lr Bai. ale Front Row, left to right—Paul Harvey, John C. Kavanagh, Jack W. Korn, Herbert W. Bean. Second Row—Gerald Johrson, Fred J. Tonks, William A. Groening, Paul E. Belknap. Debating ol debating team of 1932 was very successful. A new system was used by which no official decisions were offered, as a judgeless contest seemed to be in vogue with the present economic depression. The question for debate by the Junior College Conference this year was, “Resolved: That the nations should adopt a policy of free trade.”’ This topic was extremely popular and interesting as the question of tariff is highly important and is much discussed in the entire economic world. Beginning the season with but one veteran, William Groening, the team was con- siderably strengthened by the addition of several former high school debaters; Paul Belk- nap, Herbert Bean, and Paul Harvey of Central High School; Jack Korn, of Manton, and Gerald Johnson, of Harrisville. H. C. Klingbeil, of the Public Speaking department coached the team. In the first debate of the season, February 9, Herbert Bean and Paul Harvey, taking the negative side met Flint. The following week, February 25, another negative team consisting of Jack Korn and Gerald Johnson met Jackson. The next week, March 4, the affirmative team consisting of Paul Belknap and Fred Tonks traveled to Grand Rapids. On March 8, Bean and Harvey, again representing the negative, met Highland Park at Highland Park. On March 15, Muskegon motored to Bay City to meet the affirmative team, repre- sented by Paul Belknap and John Kavanagh. This contest was judged by local professional men who awarded a two to one decision to the affirmative. The debaters closed their season on Thursday, March 17, when the affirmative con- sisting of William Groening and Paul Belknap, met Port Huron in a no-decision contest. Four members of the team represented Bay City at the Michigan Intercollegiate Model League of Nations Assembly at the College of the City of Detroit. This assembly is conducted according to the same procedure as the League of Nations, each college representing one or more nations. Bay City’s delegation, consisting of Paul Belknap, William Groening, Paul Harvey, and Fred Tonks, represented Sweden. Four members of the team Bean, Korn, Groening, and Tonks graduate this June, leaving Harvey, Belknap, Johnson, and Kavanagh to form the nucleus of next year's team. [ 15 |

AS liek COI MUL Codes Slee Law Club HE J. C. Law Club, composed of all students in the pre-law curriculum is fast becoming one of the most active and powerful of the Junior College clubs. The main purposes of the club are to teach the members the rudiments of parliamentary law and to give the members some ideas of what the practice of law entails. The club this year, although getting off to a slow start, is now working nicely. So far this year, the members have had some lawyers speak to them, have had impromptu discussions on questions of current political interest and have won the intra-mural basketball contest.

Reba Langworthy URPOSE: The purpose of the Bay City Junior College Women’s League is the estab- ishment of friendship and understanding among women of the college through working together for a common, worthy cause. At the first meeting of the executive council the temporary chairman drew the names of the new girls thus assigning them to their respective groups. Because of the increased enrollment in Junior College, a new group, which is to be known as the Aurae was formed by the council. The Loan Fund, for which all the groups earned money during the year, has been well used. With over three hundred dollars at the beginning of the year, the books show that over two hundred dollars have been loaned to students. The individual groups sponsored many social activities in the form of parties, dances, and bridges. Early in October, the women faculty members entertained the girls at a tea. In April, the League as a unit sponsored the Gingham Ball which was a great success. The final social gathering of the year was the annual banquet, which was held at Trinity Parish House. Later in the evening, the girls and sponsors were entertained by local musical talent. During the second semester a clearing-house committee was formed, consisting of Miss Schroeder, Miss Anschutz, and Miss Hellmuth. To this committee all project chair- men must submit their plans for approval. The purpose of this group is to determine that all details, such as chaperones or ticket-takers are properly taken care of. Keen competition has been shown by the groups by participation in basketball, rifle, tennis, swimming, and baseball tournaments to secure points toward the Wilbur Pardon Bowen cup which is a trophy cup awarded to the group that places first in athletics. At the annual meeting, Maria Kirchman was elected president for the coming year, and Jane Nickless was chosen secretary. Elections of other officers will take place next semester as customary. [17]
