Although the rules of the Michigan College Debate League eliminated judges’ decisions, the local team made a strong showing against excellent opposition. Edmund Arnold and Jack Patterson were the only men on the squad to debate both sides of the League question ‘‘Resolved, that the powers of the president of the United States be increased as a settled policy.”” Arnold, who regularly took the negative, defended the affirmative twice; Patterson changed from the affirmative to the negative once. RB: CITY Junior College had this year its largest and strongest debate team Olivet opened the season in an early tilt with Paul Harvey, a veteran, and Arnold, taking an unofficial decision from Olivet’s affirmative and Patterson and Ida Hannan, the only co-ed on the squad, dropping one to the opposing negative. The team traveled to Highland Park, February 16, to open the regular League season, where Arnold and Ira Butterfield, another veteran, argued the negative before a student assembly, and Eric Timm and Patterson defended presidential power. Timm and Patterson again took the negative when they appeared before an assembly at Port Huron, March 8, while Arnold and Butterfield encountered very strong opposition in the Huron’s negative. A debating field day was held when Muskegon invaded Bay City, February 23, Hart and Schade debated the negative and Timm and Ida Hannan the affirmative in the regular debates. Arnold and Patterson took part in the cross- questioning and rebuttal contests after luncheon given for the debaters in the Little Theatre. Arnold and Patterson debated Flint’s negative at the student clubhouse at Flint, Sunday, March 4, Harvey and Butterfield taking on the affirmative before a large audience at the Lincoln M. E. Church. In a return engagement, Arnold and Butterfield took the negative in a feature debate before the Jaycee assembly on March 21. The same day Timm and Walter Hewitt argued the affirmative. On March 15, Harvey and Carl Nickel engaged Grand Rapids’ affirmative and Miss Hannan and Patterson jousted with the opposing negation. [22] TEE CR 0'C PB iE The next day the season closed with one of the season’s best debates, when Jackson traveled to Bay City. Arnold and- Nickel defended the proposition and Patterson and Guiles Ten Eyck, meanwhile having taken the negative of the question. The audiences that followed the team’s schedule were given a series of interesting discussions. The question was one of current interest and the defense and attack on it were carried out on varied and original lines. Political science, history, economics, and current events, especially pertaining to the N. R. A. or European politics, were ranged in argument. The method of debating was the newly adopted Oregon Plan. In it, the constructive speaker is cross-questioned by his opponent who then delivers the rebuttal. Mr. H. C. Klingbeil, head of the speech department, who coached the team, points to the 1934 season as one of the best that Jaycee has ever achieved. Orator HE Speech Department was represented by a strong squad of forensic T competitors in the 1934 season. Jack Shaler’s oration on the ‘Versailles and Afterward” won the local prize in the annual Peace Oration contest and was eliminated only by a slight margin in the finals of the state competition in Lansing. Edmund Arnold spoke on “Propaganda Toward Peace,” Ira Butterfield’s entry was “It Can Be Done”, and Paul Harvey gave “The New Patriotism’’. Bay City’s delegation to the seventh annual Model League of Nations at Ann Arbor was one of the most prominent at the convention. Eric Timm was amember of the credentials committee and Arnold was one of the guest speakers at the International Relations club’s luncheon for the delegates. Harvey and Timm represented Spain and Arnold and Butterfield the Irish Free State.. They served on committees on Tariffs and Trade Barriers, Disarmament, and Min- orities. Mr. H. C. Klingbeil, speech coach, accompanied the delegation. Butterfield and Shaler represented Bay City at the first convention of the Anti-War League which was also held at Ann Arbor.

HE Staff which published this annual graduation edition of the Crucible was headed by Edmund Arnold, editor-in-chief. Bruce Hayden was photo- graphy editor and Alice Arnold had charge of the copy. The staff was divided into four sections; classes, activities, sports, and art. Edna Smith, Rosamond Lang, Margaret Morrow, Virginia Bialey, Marie Ceglarek, and Clifton Wenger worked on the graduate section of the book. Recording campus activities were Robert Birchard, Georgia Washington, Jack Tucker, Betty Clymer, Ruth Watson, and Milton Brown. The sports staff was made up of Winifred Thompson, Clifford Swanson, Katherine Lourim, and Francis Barnett. Helen Sullivan, Irene Bessyngier and Dolores Beyer did the art work. Miss McGregor was the faculty advisor. During the past year the Crucible staff was granted the office space for which it had been asking for years. On authorization of the Student Council, one of the conference rooms off the Jaycee reading room has been set aside for the use of publications staffs and equipment is being purchased by the Council. The editor for the 1935 annual has not been named. Changes made in the Student Union constitu- tion last year provide that the yearbook editor shall be named during the first semester of the year of the book’s publication. The book, as usual, was financed by appropria- tions from the Student Activity Fund. All the woik on the book was done by students; no professional help was used in either photography or makeup. Distribution was free to every regularly enrolled Jaycee student. Editor [24] Fines We Bil, E fession, the Crucible was published this year as an all-student projcct. A S A Laboratory for students who plan on entering the journalism pro- New editorial policies and a new typographical dress made the bi-weekly newspaper a popular organ of campus news. Edmund Arnold, editor-in-chief, headed a particularly strong staff, which ‘included five former editors of high school publications. Alice Arnold was associate editor in charge of copy. Bruce Hayden, Walter Cramer, Francis Barnett, and Katherine Lourim made up the sport staif. Members of the re- portorial staff were; Jack Bannister, Virginia Bialy ,Robert Birchard, Marie Ceglarek, Betty Clymer, James Crocker, Rosemary Dunlop, Walter Hewitt, Walter Moeller, Emmett O’Hare, Robert Rush, Edna Smith, Helen Sullivan, Winifred Thompson, Jack Turner, and Ruth Watson. It is the practice at Bay City for the outgoing editor to choose his successor. Betty Clymer, whose nomination was confirmed by the Student Council, will take over the Crucible editorship for the next year. The highlights of the Crucible’s reportorial efforts was the publication of the first interview ever given the press by Cornelia Otis Skinner, famed actress, who was interviewed by Alice Arnold. Edmund Arnold was granted an interview with Richard B .Harrison, ‘“‘de Lawd”’ of ‘‘The Green Pastures” and, with George Sarle, reported the usually taciturn author Paul de Kriuf’s views on college education. The annual custom of conducting the campus popularity contest was con- tinued with thirteen students being named. Crucible staffmen also acted as tellers for the primary Student Council elections. The Christmas issue of the paper was a special literary issue and featured the poetry of several of Jaycee’s aspiring poets. The ponular ‘“‘Ghost Writer’? who ladled out school gossip was Jack Tucker. Edmund Arnold conducted the chatter column, ‘“‘Around the Campus,” and Walter Cramer dashed off ‘“‘Snort Shorts’. Arnold, Arthur Crebassa, and Mary Jane Kirchman were “The Poet Scorners’’. Miss Nellie McGregor was the Staff advisor and members of the faculty committee on nublications of which she is chairman, are Miss Matilda Schroeder and Mr. A. E. Stiles.

HAT the cause of student government is growing at Bay City Junior College is evidenced by the interest that has been shown in the Student Council and the wide range of activities that the group has undertaken this year. In one of the most hotly contested elections in the history of the college, Milton Brown was elected president according to the terms of the new consti- tution which was adopted last spring. The other sophomore members were Walter Cramer, Paul Harvey and Winifred Thompson. Freshman represen- tatives were James Green, John Coup, Don Schindehette and Mary Schmidt. Ford Merritt and Dorothy McMullen were later chosen to fill the vacancies left by Green and Schindehette’s resignation. For the first time, direct primaries were used to nominate candidates. Schmidt was chosen to fill the post of secretary and Thompson was her assistant. Harvey headed the important finance committee which appropriated funds from the student activity fees to the various campus organizations. Cramer was student athletic manager. Through the activities of the committee, work- ing with the faculty members, Mr. French and Mr. Martin, the school was allotted two tennis courts which were constructed as a local CWA project. Schindehette and McMullen shared the duties of the sale and distribution of Jaycee pins. Coup as head of the calendar committee reported all Jaycee events and the scrap-book committee under Betty Loveland filed all notices which the local press gave to the institution. The assemblies were in charge of the student chairman, Green, who was succeeded by Merritt, and featured a variety of talent, not only from the college and local groups, but also from neighboring colleges. Clarence Schultz was [26] THE CRUCIBLE head of the stage craft committee. The social committee was headed by Allan Hayes, and the individual parties were organized by Brown, Merritt and Walter Laetz. The booster committee whose duty is the promotion of school events was under the direction of William Muir and later Jack Tucker. Edmund Arnold, the student publicity manager, directed the advertising campaign for all Jaycee events and contacted with surrounding city papers for Jaycee news. His committee made use of the school radio system to announce daily schedules. The committee in charge of graduation and baccalaureate arrangements and of the annual banquet has not been named as the 1934 Crucible goes to press. Through co-operation with the high schoo l the Council helped in the in- stallation of a school-wide radio system with studios on the second floor of the Jaycee wing of the building. Through this system programs from the studio may be sent to any room in the building as may broadcast from national hook- ups. In this way classes may receive lectures by well-known authorities on any particular subject which they may be studying. Transcriptions may also be sent to any classes desiring them. This system is an innovation in scholastic work and has been in the spotlight of national academic notice since it first began operation last fall. Working with the Women’s League, the Council helped in the maintainance of the Loan Fund which offers financial aid to students needing it. Another of its projects was the establishment of a college book store. The Inter-Club Council which was made up of the president of all campus organizations, was called into meetings as an advisory board to the Council.

This year’s presentation was a comedy, “Hurry, Elburn. Hurry!’ by Leroy Arnold. T HE largest group of students ever to work on a Jaycee function was in Isabel Beckett and Elvin Pretzer shared the leads with Dallas Chapin and Florence Sovakowski playing strong supporting roles. Edmund Arnold and Clifford Swanson in character parts gave well received interpretations of their parts. Charlotte Ditz, Allan Hayes and Mildred Olson had important parts. William Muir was business manager, assisted by Warren Avis and Bruce Hayden, ticket chairmen, and their aides, Henry Harden, Alice Forbes, Isabel Becket, Virginia Johnston, Kathlyn Woidgka, Jack Tucker, Katherine Sparling, Walter Moeller, Robert Birchard, William Orr, Winifred Thompson, Carolyn Harrison, Mary Lou Hooker, Milton Brown and Richard Schmidt. Eren Learman, Betty Loveland, Agatha Fegert, Georgia Gribben, Clarence Schultz, Walter Butt and Linal Bailey had charge of stage design. Betty Courtright did makeup; Carl Nickel and Arnold designed the program; Helen Sullivan and Eren Learman were prompters. Mary Jane Kirchman directed the ushers, Maureen McCauley, Dorothy Schultz, Virginia Johnston, Marie Ceglarek, Nancy Berdan, Mary Ramsdell, Muriel Murchison, Virginia Bialey and Edith Nelson. Edward Schade and his Saxophone Sextett furnished music. Arnold had charge of advertising with Ford Merrit and Irene Bessyngier. Faculty workers were Myr. H. C. Klingbeil, director, Miss Lola B shop, Miss Erma Hodgson, Mr. L. L. Yeakey and Mr. George Tunison. THE CRUCIBLE sii TUDENT dramatists early last fall organized the Mas- iM S quers, successors to the old Drama Club. Edmund Arnold was elected president, Raymond Bauer, vice- president and Annette LaFramboise Rogers, secretary. The club sponsored a contest for one-act plays by Junior College students and when the faculty judges, Mr. Klingbeil, Mrs. Bowley, Miss Schroeder, Miss McGregor and Miss Bishop, returned a unanimous decision on the anony- mously submitted plays, Edmund Arnold was found to have earried off the honors. “de Guerre’’ was the prizewinner Playwright and ‘30’? took second money. The author of the third place entry, ‘‘Home of Friendship and Knowledge,” did not reveal his idenity. Four one-act plays were presented publicly. ‘‘Lotus Flowers,” the curtain raiser, with Edmund Arnold, Isabel Beckett, Annette LaFramboise Rogers, Katherine Lourim, Emmett O’Hare and Helen Sullivan in the cast directed by Arnold and Robert Birchard was presented in the Jaycee assembly and before the convention of the Michigan Association of Junior Colleges. “The Flash’ was given by Reginald Barnett, Rockwell Carrier and Walter Cramer, with Carrier directing. Eren Learman directed ‘The Dummy.’’ Margaret Sharpe and Elvin Pretzer shared the leads; Mary Richards, Robert Rush and Fred Wagner taking support- ing roles. Ed Schade and Robert Bruek, with Charlotte Ditz, gave the old English comedy, ““Box and Cox.” Under the auspices of The Masquers, the Bay City Players presented Synge’s “‘Riders to the Sea,” with Mary Richards, a club member, playing an important part.

Club, this season combined a recreational and instructive program that reached all the students enrolled in the Engineering Curriculum. William Orr was president, Willard Morell, vice-president, and Reynold Kynast, secretary. Mr. R. C. Shellenbarger, head of the mathematics department, was sponsor of the club and Mr. A. D. Dalzell, auto mechanics instructor, was the honorary member. In attempting to give students insight upon the problems of professional engineering, the club brought speakers from neighboring industrial plants. On December 11, Mr. B. H. Liskow, of the Chevrolet Foundry of Saginaw, was speaker. Three reels of motion pictures on the operation of telephones, the latest development in electrical fields, and the gathering of crude materials was shown on February 19. ‘The Necessities of the Engineer in Social Lines’’ was the subject of Mr. Dalzell’s talk on March 12, and two weeks later Mr. Donald Gibb of the Dow Chemical Company spoke on “Processes of the Development of the Brine Industry”’. Mr. Lawrence W. Long, of the Bay City Consumers Power Company, gave the last in the series of lectures with a talk on “Electrical Equipment”. A series of radio talks on engineering by Dean Herbert C. Sadler, of the Engineering School of the University of Michigan, was presented over the school radio system during the year. In conjunction with the Tetra Sci the group made several field trips to nearby plants. The club had strong representation in intramural com- petition. They were runners-up in the basketball and swimming tournaments and several of the members were chosen to places on the freshman and sophomore teams that met in the annual basketball game. The scholastic attainments were high with five members being elected to Phi Keta Kappa despite the heavy burden which the engineering course lays upon the student. The club is donating a frieze depicting the history of mathematics. The proposed decoration is to be placed in Room 214. QO: of the largest and most active clubs on the campus, the Engineers’ [30] THE CRUCIBLE ITH Maurice Wynes as president, Allan Hayes as vice-president, and Allan Fisher as secretary, the Tetra Sci succeeded in giving its members many interesting contacts with the professions for which they are preparing themselves. Speakers from the fields of medicine, dentistry, and chemistry were arranged for by Allan Hayes, Richard Schmidt, and Julius Symons, respectively. The sponsor, Mr. Martin, secured speakers on pharmacy. The first meeting Medic of the year was called on October 11, and the officers were selected. On November 6, the first speaker, Dr. Gamble, spoke on recent discoveries in endocrinology. Dr. Alisone, speaking on venereal diseases and Dr. Groomes, on surgery, were other members of the medical profession among the speakers who followed at regular intervals. Mr. Harrison, city chemist, gave interesting side-lights on chemistry in modern life; Mr. Bett told of the problems of pharmacy; and Drs. Clay and Anderson spoke on dentistry. Dr. Clay gave figures of especial interest to pre-dents on the cost of a dental education, and Dr. Anderson stressed the problems to be encountered in more advanced dental work in college. Three interesting field trips featured the spring program. The first was to the city water plant, the second to the Samaritan hospital and the Jones Clinic, the third, held on May 16, was to the Dow Chemical Company. The Tetra Sci were joined in the trip to the water plant by the engineers. Composing the committee in charge of the Dow trip were Maurice Wynes, Allan Fisher, and Emery Glanez.

HE Women’s League, under the direction of President Winifred Thompson, Vice-President Mary Ellen Fritz, Recording Secretary Alice Forbes, Cor- responding Secretary Helen Sullivan, and Treasurer Mildred Kottnauer, has, this past year, experienced one of its most active and successful seasons. Sponsoring the Student Loan Fund, it has met large demands through the untiring efforts of the individual groups which make up its membership and through the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire student body. To supply the funds necessary for the loans, Arpatia gave a Tea Dance with a fashion show; two swimming parties were given by the Aurae group. Bobas sold sandwiches. Corona sponsored daily candy sales. Frost-bites were sold by the Mystics, and SSS gave apple sales. Credit is due Miss Schroeder, Chairman, Miss Anschutz, Miss Hellmuth, and Miss Krafka, who comprise the faculty committee in charge of women’s affairs, for supervision of, and cooperation in, al] the League’s activities. The League’s semi-annual, girl-bid dances were, as usual, highlights of Jaycee’s social season. The Christmas Frolic in December, sponsored by Aurae, Corona, and SSS, and the Spring Stepper in April, given by Arpatia, Boba, and Mystic, were bright spots on the ’33, ’34 calendar. In March the all-college subscription Bridge was taken over by the League, and under its capable super- vision proved a financial success in support of the Loan Fund. Under the direction of Margaret Fone, Chairman of the Social Committee, assisted by Doris Whitehead and Rose Mary McKay, the Women’s League enter- tained its members in September with a Get-Acquainted Tea for the Freshmen Members and all other new girls. October, near Hallowe’en, was the time chosen for a Masquerade. Over one hundred mothers and daughters attended the Mothers’-Daughters’ Tea given on Valentine’s Day, and the Annual Banquet a the Trinity Parish House on May 25 climaxed the League’s social season for the year. The Athletic Committee, chairmanned by Virginia Allen, SSS, and consisting of Alice Forbes, Aurae; Edith Nelson, Arpatia; Eleanor Fenske, Boba; Margaret Wilson, Corona; and Mary Ramsdell, Mystic; and supervised by Miss Ada Royal, directed the annual tournaments in hockey, rifle, swimming, basketball, tennis, and baseball. The Nominating Committee was led by Alice Arnold, assisted by Irene Bessyngier and Mary Ellen Fritz. Eleanor Stapish, chairman, and Avalon Gowans made up the Auditing Committee. Each group elected its own leader for the year. Geraldine Trombley headed Aurae, Naomi Buschien held the office in Arpatia, Boba’s chairman was Rosana Meloche, Katherine Lourim was chairman of Corona, Mystic was led by Mary Stewart, and Rose Mary McKay headed SSS. Prexy [32] THoE,CRU CiLTB A HE Only Junior College organization with a strictly male membership, the J. C. Y., around a nucleus of former Hi-Y members, forms a social group to which any Jaycee man is eligible. The club this year did not follow a program of great activity but was content to sponsor a traditional fall mixer and to inaugurate another annual stag party. According to time-hallowed custom, the night of the Smaueaan annual Frosh-Soph football game was the time of the hilarious “‘“Turtle Derby’. Under the toastmastership of Edmund Arnold, the seventy men took turns bandying jovial insults and jibing the game-lamed football men. The highlights of the affair was the title event, the Derby. Milton Brown’s entry, Pete, won the first heat in a walk and in the race off, staved off the desperate threat of Walter Cramer’s Baby Rose-Marie, who had just captured the second heat in a strong finish. Brown’s name is now inscribed on the coveted cracked-china cup along with the new sweepstakes record his speedster set. The “Monogram Mixer” honored varsity men who had earned their letters in winter sports. Jack Tucker was master of ceremonies for the smoker and Mr. Frank Learman, principal speaker of the evening, presented swimming and basketball letters. It is planned to make the spring mixer an annual affair. Mr. Fred Rogers is faculty sponsor of the club. Paul Harvey is president, Alton Billmeier, vice-president, and Fred Wagner secretary. The membership of the club is not rigid or well defined, but during the year its roster at all ; times included a high percentage of Jaycee men. Top Row—Ponitz, Skopek, Wynes, Jochen.

Election to this national fraternity is the highest honor that can be con- ferred for scholastic attainment. To. only honor society on the campus, the Beta Gamma chapter of Phi Paul Harvey was elected president of the group last June, Edmund Arnold, vice-president, Mildren Kottnauer, secretary and William Orr, treasurer. Faculty members of the honors committee, Miss Irma Anschultz, Miss Erma Hellmuth and Mr. R. C. Shellenbarger, are sponsors of the society. Nine members formed the nucleus of the chapter and this spring twelve pledges were inducted into the fraternity. The old members are George Burk, Lester Dankert, Walter Moeller, Mary Richards, Julius Symons, Arnold, Harvey, Kottnauer and Orr. The new members are Ira Butterfield, Allan Fisher, Allan Hayes and Maurice Wynes, sophomores, Isabel Beckett, Virginia Johnston, Reynold Kynast, Rosamond Lang, Dorothy McMullen, Elizabeth Rae, Frederick Rau and Eugene Trojanowicz, freshmen. At the annual banquet of the society at the Trinity Parish House following the initiation services, Dr. Frederick B. Fisher of the Congregational Church of Ann Arbor, was the principal speaker. The vice-president conducted the initiates who were given the pledge by the president before a large group of guests. The regular monthly meetings of the club were social gatherings at the homes of the members. The group decided against sponsoring any activities besides their regular aim of promoting independent scholarship. Phi Theta Kappa is the Junior College branch of Phi Beta Kappa and the Beta Gamma chapter points with pride to the academic achievements made by its graduates in four-year colleges and universities. [34] Pllsie Calo Wie Wei E HE purpose of the Bay City Junior College Business Club is to bring its members into closer contact with well known business men of this city, thereby giving direct information of the complex aspect of the modern business world. President Alton Billmeier who was elected to lead the business elub for this year at the last meeting of the club one year ago swung the gavel that opened the second year of the Business Ad. Club, Wednesday, September 27. On October 6th, the officers to guide the club for the year were elected. Alvin Pretzer was chosen vice-president and Robert S. Birchard, secretary- treasurer. The first dinner luncheon was held on October 16th at the Y. M. C. A. with Birchard acting as chairman. The main object of the luncheon was to acquaint each member with their fellow members. It was decided at the business meeting that the luncheons hereafter will be held in the model apartments. Alvin Pretzer was chosen chairman for the next luncheon. In the following business luncheons which were held in the apartments, on November 20, Mr. Copeland, from the Industrial Brownhoist, spoke on ‘‘The Business of Today.”” On December 19, Mr. Palmer, manager of Sears and Roebuck, spoke on ‘‘Chain Stores,” January 22, Mr. Walter Gravelin spoke on “Preparations Necessary to Hold a Job.” February 19, Mr. Edgar Woods, from the Bay City Daily Times, spoke on “Fascism,’’ March 21, Mr. Merritt, Office Manager of Jennison Hardware, spoke on “Office Management.”’” Mr. Herrick, manager of the Stock Exchange, spoke on “Stocks and Bonds,” on April 23rd. On May 16 the Business Club sponsored the first club assembly, “School Daze”’, All in all the Business Club through its extensive program has furnished its members with an interesting phase of business through first hand informa- tion given from professional business men and their businesses.

THE CRUCIBLE Swanson, Belger, Coach Top Row—Matuszewski, Sterling, Helmreich. Bottom Row—Jankowiak, Watson, Hood, Dardas, Kessler. Basketball HE 1933-34 varsity basketball team hung up a rather drab record. A lack of material and consistent in- eligibility was largely responsible for the poor season. The only regulars from the 1932-38 team were Belger and Swanson, while Barnett, a reserve with two years’ experience, was the only other letterman to report. The schedule opened rather inaus- piciously when Bay City went to High- land Park and absorbed a 54-17 beating. Following this, Port Huron, with its best team in years, came to Bay City and administered a 32-14 trimming. In the next game a revamped Blue Devil line- up fought the highly touted Muskegon quintet on even terms for three quarters before finally losing out 25-22 in the last moments of play. The second semester found Bay City in Jackson, from whence they returned smarting under a 46-14 walloping. Next week the team journeyed to Muskegon, still seeking that elusive first victory, but a last minute rally put the game in the bag for the boys from the western shore, and the Blue Devils returned with their fifth straight defeat. Seeking re- venge for a previous t’ampling, Bay City journeyed to Port Huron and up- set the high-flying Port Huron five 28-27 in a thrilling and hotly contested duel. It was the first, and incidentally the last, victory for the Blue Devils. The last game of the year proved to be a thrill- ing encounter with Highland Park again outscoring the home five, 48-32, but only after a hard fight. Varsity Sports Swanson was high point man for the season, with Barnett trailing him by one point, and Belger in turn just behind Barnett. Dardas and Watson also figur- ed prominently in the scoring. Graduating lettermen were Swanson, Barnett, Belger, Dardas and Muir. Others receiving awards were Jankow- iak, Matuzewski, Watson, Helmreich, Cook, Kessler, and Stirling. Tennis HE 1934 edition of the Junior College tennis team observed a rather hectic season. Coach Hood found at the beginning of the sea- son that two varsity veterans upon whom he had counted, Hughes and Packard, were ineligible, and Wallace, former Saginaw High star, a freshman, was also ineligible. Consequently a large group of new talent formed the material for the squad. Most of the 1934 season was spent in building a nucleus for next year’s team. Wally Cramer was the only sophomore, while freshmen Dick LaGoe, Mart Helm- reich, and Francis Kirchman completed the quartet. Matches were played with Flint J. C., Highland Park J. C., Jackson J. C., and Central State Teachers. The team also entered the state tourney, held at High- land Park. Although the team was inexperienced, it held its own with the best J. C. teams, being defeated on several occasions by very narrow margins. Coach Hood’s ob- jective, however, was to build a strong Seer for next year. [37] THE CRUCIBLE ITH more participants than any of the rest of the mural pro- grams, the spring sports activi- ties, horseshoes, tennis and soft- ball, wound up the year’s athletic pro- gram. The softball tournament, of Round Robin form, was won by the Business Ads, who ended the season with a per- fect record of four wins. Cliff Swan- son’s pitching alone was almost enough to win the title, although the Engineers did belt him from the box, and the play of such stalwarts as Belger, Lund, O’Hare, and the whole Ad team did the rest. The Pre-Meds, aided by some great pitching by Jankowiak, lost only to the Business Ads to end with three wins and a defeat, the Engineers won two and dropped two, the General Acs could win but one out of four, and the hapless Pre-Laws, handicapped through- out the tourney by a lack of players, trailed with four defeats and no wins. The games were played three days a week at noon, and usually went five innings. The tennis tournaments were indivi- dual affairs. Men’s. singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles were sche- duled, with the winners not decided as this article is written. Bob Hughes and Bill Wallace are among the favorites in the singles, Hughes and Richardson look good in the doubles, and the com- bination of Hughes and Winnie Thomp- son is figured to have a big say in de- termining the winners in the mixed tournament. Unfortunately, the new tennis courts being built behind the stadium were not completed in time for use in the mural tournaments this spring. Horseshoe singles and doubles are also being run off at this writing, with large fields entered in each. Harvey, Hadcock, Amrhein, McKay, Plueddeman, Welch, Catlin, Foley, Mulholland. Golf ITH but one veteran back from W last year’s varsity squad, Coach Hood opened the golf season using Ralph Means of last year’s team and three newcomers, Mart Helm- reich, Mike Dardas, and Jack Tucker. The team opened at Highland Park, losing on the Rackham course. The Highland Park squad showed not only better knowledge of the game and course, but the effects of practice, which the Bay City team was greatly in need of. The following week the team journey- ed to Flint, with Dallas Chapin replacing Tucker. Here, although the team lost again, marked improvement was noticed. On Tuesday, May 8, was played with Jackson J. C. at Jackson. Here the water hazards proved too much and a third mark was a match for the team, placed in the loss column. was switched to the tennis team at Jack- son, leaving but three men to play the match. Mart finished the season with the golfers, however, playing in the state meet and against Flint at Bay City. Although the season was unsuccess- ful from the point of view of matches won, a good nucleus for next year’s Helmreich squad was developed. Tbe eC RU Crl Baik. Intramural! Sports Hewitt, Hart, Symons, Swanson, Burns, Hughes, Kirch- man, Football OOTBALL, both touch and_ the regular variety, occupied the center of the mural stage during the early months of the school yeay. An intercurricular touch football program was run off noons in the stad- ium with the Soph Engineers and the General Acs sharing the honors, and the annual Frosh-Soph battle under regula- tion rules, was fought to a 6-6 tie on November 7. The touch football tournament was of the double bracket type, with each team eliminated when it was defeated twice. The General Acs went through to the finals undefeated, while the Soph En- gineers were beaten once and entered the finals. After one playoff game had ended in a scoreless tie, Old Man Winter settled the tournament by burying the stadium in snow. The Soph-Frosh football game was played on a slippery field on Tuesday, November 7. Each team pushed across one touchdown, the Frosh first on a forward pass that the Soph secondary batted into Cook’s hands as he crossed the line, and the Sophs a moment later when they drove over from the Year- lings 30 yard marker after a poor punt. Cramer, Klumpp. Basketball [ Sproiect ot Basketball, the largest Brown, project of the athletic committee, found seven teams competing. Fresh- man and sophomore General Acs, and Engineers made up four teams, while the Business Ads, Pre-Laws, and Pre-Med-Dents had one team each. All of the games were played during the noon period. The Round Robin division of the tournament centered down to a match between the Sophomore General Acs and the Sophomore Engineers, from which the Acs arose victorious only after the second attempt, the first game ending in a tie score. Brown of the Acs was the hero of the latter game, scoring a field goal from the center of the floor with ten seconds to play and winning by one point. The Sophomore General Acs _ also came through to take the elimination tourney held at the end of the season, defeating the Pre-Laws in the final game. The Frosh were victorious over the Sophs by a margin of one basket in the annual Frosh-Soph classic also held at the end of the caging season. Much of the credit for Jaycee’s well developed intramural program is due to Wally Cramer, who as student athletic manager, directed the committee which worked with Coach Elson Hood in staging the year-round series of competition which gave Bay City as high a nercentage of student parti- cipation as any college in the state. His aides were Paul Harvey, Cliff Swanson, Walt Hewitt, Carl Koerner and Dick Schmidt, each of whom had charge of one of the various sports that were offered. [39] THE CRUCIBLE Thompson, Forbes, Carver, Hand, Zingg, Lieberman. Girls’ Basketball EATURED by a three-way tie and - startling upsets all the way the basketball tournament was played off with plenty of excitement and rivalry for all the groups. The biggest upset of all occured when Boba, making its first big bid for winning honors and uncorking a fast offensive in Katherine Woidgka, and an equally good defensive in Alice Arnold, unexpectedly defeated Aurae, defending champions, with the decisive score 17-2. By virtue of this win over otherwise undefeated Auraes, Boba was virtually conceded first place until the next surprising upset, when SSS beat Boba by the narrow margin of 5-4, when Rosemary Dunlop sank the winning foul shot in the last few seconds of play. Aurae’s win of 10-2 over SSS resulted in the three-way tie and the splitting of points toward the trophy, giving each of the three teams 33% points to add to its total. To decide the letter-winners, a play- off among the three teams was inaug- urated. In the first game SSS was de- feated by a rejuvenated Boba team 4-0, and the next tussle saw SSS bow to Aurae again 5-2. Getting revenge for its earlier defeat, Aurae, displaying fast and effective passing, came back in the finals to trounce Boba 10-0 and earn the right to basketball letters. Aurae basketeers, captained by Alice Forbes, includes Janet Carver, Margaret Hand, Alice Zingg, Rose Lieberman, Geraldine Trombley, and Winifred Thompson. EATHER conditions have this year again proven to be the greatest handicap that the track squad has had to overcome. Temperatures that flirted with the freezing point kept the thinclads from eetting out of doors to practice and thus their training has been confined to a period of indoor limbering-up. Pros- pects for the season are fair with many former highschool trackmen available. The dope gives Bay City a favorable outlook in the distance events, where Doug Sterling, Lad McKay and Paul Harvey, all experienced men, are ex- pected to make good showings. Al Billmeier should clean up in the hurdles and dashes and Hank Harden in the weights. Jaycee looks weak in _ the jumping events where she won her only point in the state meet last year. WIMMING. attracted at Bay City this year one of the largest groups of tankmen ever to turn out. Dick Foley, Harvey and Koerner all hung up marks that rank with the best in the state and helped the team to turn in a perfect record for the sea- son. Intramural meets were featured by plenty of close competition furnished by a strong field. The winning Engin- eers were hard pressed at all times and only a few points separated the top teams. OR the second year Bay City J. C. was represented by a mat team, which made many appearances dur- ing the year. It was on the pro- gram of the high school Band Bounce, took part in J. C. assemblies, and put on exhibitions between the halves at the basketball games. The members of the squad were Reginald Barnett, Milt Brown, Walt Hewitt, Dick Foley, Carl Bob Rush and _ Barney Plueddeman, Amrhein. [40] THE.

The Engineers also were prominent, especially in touch football, where they dropped but one game and tied the General Acs for the honors, and in basketball, where though upset by the Pre-Laws in the elimination meet, were generally considered almost on a par with the champ Soph General Acs. q HE outstanding group in the year’s ° ’ Girls’ Baseball HE Baseball tournament is still in progress as the 1934 Crucible goes to press. This particular contest looks like the closest one so far this year, as more people have turned out for this sport than for any other offered in the Women’s League Intra- mural program. Corona offers a forceful threat to any team with its aggregation of strong players, including a dangerous pitcher, Katherine Lourim, although it lost to Aurae 10-8. Mystics as yet haven’t played, but are expected to present a strong, balanced team. Boba hasn’t seen action yet, either, but will probably be one of the best teams when it does enter the race, for its list of players include two fine pitch- ers, Betty Perrin and Kathlyn Woidgka, (41] who were also outstanding on the bas- ketball team, and a superior outfield, Florence Martin and Alice Arnold, be- sides equally good players to make up the rest of the membership. SSS, making its bid for another first place and the cup, won its first game with Arpatia by a forfeit. This team is expected to make one of the strongest bids for baseball honors. Aurae, with a fast battery — Betty Runner, pitcher, and Alice Forbes, catcher, looked good in its initial win over Corona. Aurae will be making every effort, too, to win its slugging battles, for the results of this particular tournament will decide the winner of the cup. This softball tournament is played in the gym, for it is difficult for each group to get the number of players re- quired for an outdoor game. The num- ber in the field is limited to six, while as many as desired may bat. Contrary to the usual custom of Round Robin play in all the women’s League tournaments, a team in the base- ball contest will be eliminated when it has been beaten twice. This rule was unexpectedly made for this particular sport in order to allow all women’s athletics to be finished and awards an- nounced in time for the annual banquet. TEE ORC ayer ik Women's Sports S WE go to press, the right to possession of the Wilbur Pardon Bowen trophy signifying sports supremacy for the 1938-34 sea- son is still being keenly contested. Aurae leads with 13314 points, with SSS close behind, having 123% points, not to mention Boba, still decidedly in the run- ning with 83% points. The outcome of the race among the three leading teams will be definitely decided when the final tallies are taken in baseball, the last tournament for the year. Aurae piled up its points so far with a clean title to first place in swimming and tennis and a tie for first honors in basketball. Not having placed at all this year in rifle, Aurae did well in coming back so successfully in the following tournaments. SSS gained its present position so close to the top with a clear first in rifle, a fourth in swimming, a tie for basketball honors, and a tie for second place in tennis. With good results in baseball, which can be expected from its list of players, SSS bids fair to topple Aurae from its peak position. Aurae will have to be good if it battles through the charge the cup-seeking SSS team will uncork in their baseball game. A strong threat to the supremacy of either of these latter groups is Boba, which, having won its points with a second in rifle, a first tie in basketball, and a second tie in tennis, is conceded a fine chance to win the tournaments with its aggregation of excellent base- ball players. In case of this, however, Boba’s right to the cup will depend on the baseball rating of SSS and Aurae. The Aurae, defending champion, won the cup from the Mystics, to whom Corona, first to possess the cup, lost it in 1932. Any group which wins the Thompson, Forbes. Hand, Carver, trophy for three years in succession may keep it permanently. The trophy, awarded by the women’s athletic department, is named in mem- ory of Wilbur Pardon Bowen, who, up to the time of his death in 19382, was head of the department of health edu- eation at Michigan State Normal Col- lege. Professor Bowen, who was con- sidered one of the world’s three leading men in recreation, was the founder of intramural sports in Michigan and the author of several books on intramurals. The cup, inscribed with the name of the winning team, is presented each year by Miss Ada Royal, director of women’s athletics, to the captain of the winning team at the annual Junior College ban- quet. At other times it is on display in the office. Girls’ Riflery HE First competitive Women’s League sport event took place in the boiler room where the rifle range is located. With little or no practice, the event showed unexpected class. The SSS team, composed of Rosemary Dunlop, Edna Smith, Dorothy Schultz, Miriam O’Loughlin, and Rosemary Mc- Kay, did some splendid shooting in eliminating the Boba and in gathering 893 points to win the event. Boba amassed 867 points followed by Corona with 588, and Arpatia with 411. Individual high scorers were led by Muriel Murchison, Mystics, and Rosana Meloche, Boba who both shot 249’s. Alice Forbes, Aurae, came second with a good 285, and Rosemary Dunlop, SSS, followed with 2388.

S. on April 21. Boba and 8. S. S. tied for second place and Arpatia came in fourth. Winnie Thompson, of Aurae, saved her singles crown of last year from Virginia Allen in a close-fought set 7-5. Thompson came to the courts with a record of three wins and one forfeit, wherein Allen was tied once, forfeited to Boba, and won three. Thompson had beaten Miss Ada Royal 7-5 in a nip and tuck duel, Corona had forfeited to her, and she had chalked up a 6-1 win against both Florence Martin of Boba and Ida Shilling of Mystics. Allen had foreed Miss Royal to a tie 6-6 when it was interrupted by a class. Edith Nelson played off to lose 6-1. Isabel Beckett had lost a 6-2 set, while Allen had defaulted to Martin, and had beaten Marie Ceglarek of Corona 6-0. In the doubles, Aurae, S. 8S. S. and Boba chalked up four wins and one loss apiece. Combined with its singles win, however, the Aurae team, Alice Forbes and Alice Zingg, earned the right to win letters. Forbes and Zingg, upset once by Boba’s Irene Bessynger and Eleanor Fenske, 6-2, came to the finals with three wins over Margaret Wilson and Ethel Bailey of Corona 6-1, Mary Ramsdell and Dorothy Markham of Mystic 6-2, and a forfeit game from Arpatia, while 8. 8S. S., represented by Betty Clymer and Rosemary Dunlop, was backed by four wins with no defeats. Displaying superior placements and fast serves, Aurae looked sure through- out the set, whose result was hardly in doubt at any time. Forbes and Zingg eaptured a clear tennis title for Aurac by defeating Clymer and Dunlop 6-2. Girls’ Swimming HE Aurae group threatened to Tt the lead for the Wilbur Bowen Trophy by winning the second women’s sport’s event — swimming. They piled up 43 points to lead by a large margin their nearest rivals, the Mystics, with 23. Corona and SSS tied for third place with 21 points apiece. Alice Forbes, Aurae, won a sweeping victory in the 100 yard free style; in the 50 yard breast stroke, Margaret Wilson and Isabel Beckett, Corona and Mystic respectively, tied; plunge for distance, Margaret Hand, Aurae; 50 yard side stroke, Isabel Beckett, Mystics; float on face for time, Margaret Hand, Aurae; face crawl 50 yards, Alice Forbes, Aurae; back stroke, Barbara Becker, Corona; back crawl, Alice Forbes, Aurae; and diving, Mar- garet Wilson, Corona. The diving included the front, back, and jack-knife, and were well executed by Wilson. The relay, consisting of four members from each group with each individual swimming one length, was won by Aurae. First places were awarded five points, second places, three; and third places, two. In the relay, eight points were given to the winner of the first place, and five points for second place. Dunlop, Allen, O’Laughlin, Smith, Schultz, McKay.

The corps consists of about eighteen active members who have been meeting twice each week throughout the major part of the school year to shoot. A permanent range was built by the corps in the basement of the school with three large steel targets and sand boxes. The range has been used by both the men’s and women’s corps of Jaycee and by several high school groups. Another addition was made to their equipment when the corps pur- chased six new rifles.
