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]

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.

Tetra Sci HAT worthy organization known as the Tetra-Sci was founded at the beginning of last year in order to provide an outlet for the extra curricular energies of the students engaged in pre- paring for one of the four related sciences of Medicine, Pharm- acy, Dentistry and Chemistry. Mr. Martin, popular head of the Chemistry Department, was selected as advisor to guide the destinies of this group, assisted by the officers of Tetra-Sci: Edward McManmon, who was elected as presi- dent, and Dorothy Kuehl, the secretary-treasurer, who was succeeded by Merle Whyte when the former left school at the second semester. Tetra-Sci was fortunate in securing the services of a number of excellent speakers whose advice did much to spur the ambition of the club members as they told of conditions and experiences encountered in the field of science. The first speaker of the year, Mr. Otto Louis, of the Louis Drug Company, spoke on the Romance of Pharmacy. His gripping recital of the unusual occurances which happen every day to the pharmacist proved most interesting to his audience. Next on the program was a trip through the Sugar Beet Factory, where, despite a certain disagreeable aroma, much valuable data was gathered concerning the interesting process of manufacturing sugar from sugar beets. Dr. Verne Meisel, a former J. C. student, spoke at the next meet- ing, on dentistry. He ofi ' ered many useful suggestions as to choice of curriculum and practical applications of material learned. Not long after this, Mr. John Grebee, a research engineer and chemist from the Dow Chemical Company, led the club in a discussion of a research problem as it is done in practical everyday work. Other speakers and activities included a motion picture program put on in a J. C. assembly, an excellent speech by Mr. Arthur Lee, gas engineer, and a paper read by Dr. Clark, a research chemist, In the Course of One Man ' s Life which cited the great progress made in the course of a few years in scientific activity.
