The Crucible S A bi-weekly student publication, The Crucible, during the past year has filled a definite place in student activities. Both as a means of advertising school affairs and as a contact medium oetween students the newspaper has had a successful season. The staff began work last September under the leadership of James Finkbeiner, editor-in-chief. Edmund Arnold, managing editor, was later named Finkbeiner ' s successor as editor of the 1934 Crucible. Bruce Hayden, associate editor, was in charge of photography and Paul Belknap was the editorial writer. The sports department, under Walter Cramer, made its page one of the most popular in the paper. Under its sponsorship were chosen the All-State and All-Intramural basketball teams, the All-Conference selections being announced by every junior college publication in the state. Hash , by Edmund Arnold, The Nut-Cracker , by William Perrin, The Keyhole Reporter , by Robert Friers, and The Egdon Heath Astonisher , by Henry Hart and John Kavanagh shared honors for columns with Sport-O-Grams in the athletic section. The Crucible-sponsored popularity contest was a high-light in campus aft ' airs. Miss McGregor was advisor of the staff, which included Florence Carpenter, Mary Richards, John Bannister, and John Richardson at the copy desk; Francis Walsh and Winifred Thompson as sports writers; and a reportorial section of Emiline Anderson, Robert Birchard, Milton Brown, James Crocker, Jack Ferris, Rosanna Meloche, William Perrin, Robert Rush, Betty King, Wesley Timm, Marie Vallez, and Howard Schindler.

Cramer, President; Allan Fischer, Vice-President; A. William Orr, Secretary and Mr. Shellenbarger, Advisor, the Engineers ' Club had one of the most successful years in its history. More interest was shown by the men than ever before, and this was in part due to the splendid programs arranged by the Vice-President and the program committee. After planning a schedule for the year, the committee had as the first speaker before the club, Mr. Long of the Consumers Power Com- pany. Mr. Long spoke to the group about the history and evolution of the electrical power industry in Michigan. For the second meeting the Engineers joined with the Tetra-Sci Club, to hear Mr. Grebe, director of the Physical Laboratory of the Dow Chemical Company. He lead the combined group into a research of the homes of the future. As a continuation of the scheduled program, Mr. Harrison, city chemist of Bay City, spoke on water purification and its results. Many interesting and startling facts were disclosed by Mr. Harrison. The Engineers- Club again had the privilege to hear one of the research chemists of the Dow Chemical Company, when Mr. Arthur Winston discussed Dowmetal. He told of the extraction from the earth of the salt of magnesium which is the origin of the metal which finally makes the alloy. He also pointed out the special uses and features of this comparatively new alloy. Once again the Tetra Sci Club and the Engineers ' Club met to- gether, when Mr. Clark, Bay City chemist, gave a talk entitled The Events of One Man ' s Lifetime, a Glance Backward and a Look For- ward . In this address, Mr. Clark told of the industrial progress of man and then gave some of the wonders which man may enjoy in the next few years. As a fitting conclusion to this program, the club made several field trips to plants of vital interest to engineering students. [23]

Women ' s League NDER the direction of President Maria Kirchman, Vice-President Ellen Boergert, Treasurer Jane Nickless, Corrresponding Sec- retary Helen Sinclair, and Recording Secretary Geraldine Trombley, the Women ' s League was one of Jaycee ' s most active organizations. The efforts of these leaders and the various groups kept money pouring into the loan coifers which have contributed a greater service than ever before. The individual groups worked on various projects. The Arpatias ' Kresge balls were outstanding social events of the season. The other groups ' ventures were likewise successes. The Mystics supervised frost- bite sales, the Bobas conducted sandwich sales, the Auraes sold candy, the S. S. S. dispensed candy and apples, and the Coronas gave a bridge party. The Boba, Mystic, and Arpatia groups joined to sponsor the December Harvest Hop. In February, the Social Committee of the League entertained at a tea. In April, the Washington School was the scene of a scintillating dance, sponsored by the Corona, Aurae, and S. S. S. groups. Keen competition featured the inter-group clashes in hockey, riflery, basketball, swimming, tennis, and baseball. To the sponsors, Miss Anschutz, Miss Hellmuth, Miss Krafka, and Miss Schroeder, who make up the faculty committee in charge of women ' s affairs, must be given a great deal of the credit for the achieve- ments that the Women ' s League has made during the past year. Each group elected its own officers. Bernice Wubbena headed the Aurae with Winifred Thompson as scribe. The Arpatia officers were Dorothy Scott and Margaret Sharpe. Boba was led by Merle Whyte and Dorothy Fyle and Corona by Geraldine Hartz and Katherine Lourim. Florence Carpenter was S. S. S. chairman and Rosemary McKay was scribe with Beatrice Williston and Noreen Cole as Mystic leaders. The Loan Fund has met stupendous demands during a trying year. Athletics have reached a new high. It is an example set, a precedent established, and a mark to be aimed at. [25]
