Members of the council include: Wanda Lewie, Joe Diepenbrock, Frank Kottnauer, and Clarence Helbig, Sophomores, and William Steele, Jack O’Brien, Muriel Heidger, and Paul MacDonald, Freshmen. Important work involving the college budget and expenditures was handled by the Finance Committee, and several social affairs, including the “Kirst Fling’, and the annual “Collegian Masquerade’ were ably directed by the Social Committee. The Assembly Committee planned a variety of entertainment, from distinguished speakers to student talent. The athletic committee directed both intercollegiate and intramural sports activities. Clever publicity stunts were introduced by the Publicity Committee through the medium of both radio and bulletin board notices. Marcella Staebell was in charge of the College Calendar and Katherine Kirchman of the Serap- book. The Pin and Ring Committee suggested a new college pin, which was adopted by a majority vote of the student body. The Council was instrumental in presenting an assembly for students only, and also for presenting the highly entertaining student talent assembly. A calculating machine for the Commercial Department was purchased by the Council, and other projects were also under consideration as the Annual went to press. 28 “@Momen’s League First Row—Olmstead, Findley, Jungklas, Chapm Second Row—vV.

All college women automatically become members of the League. Among the delightful affairs sponsored by the Women’s League during’ the past year were the “Heartleap”, winter dance, the League Christmas dinner, the annual Mothers’ Tea, the “Spring role? dance, aad the annual banquet and epilavion of new officers. Intense interest has been developed in all the varied activities of the League. Intramural sports enjoyed great success, and the candy sale profits reached a new high. The Scholarship committee also functioned well. B. O. B. A. held first place in scholarship during the first semester. The Women’s League has also carried on the work of the League Loan Fund, which has enabled students to continue their college work. 29 (Publications ei ay = . ee ie a H f Wirst Row-——J. Thompson, Finley, Bandeen, Colthorp, Lizerman, LaCombe. Second Row—Roesser, Lucius, Murphy, Flynn, B. Davis, M. Miller. Third Row—Beck, Sloan, Miss McGregor, Willox, Billmeier, Newman. The Crucible and the Annual of 1986 have been published by a committee of both freshmen and sophomore students, each one of whom was directly responsible for some portion of the work throughout the year. Any honor for the success of the experiment must be shared, therefore, by all the members of the committee. Ruth Bandeen wrote the editorials and made up each of the twelve issues of the Crucible. She acted as one of the assistant editors of the 1984-1935 Crucible. Arnold Beck took charge of men’s sports, and Berneice Davis of women’s sports. Faye Lucius wrote news stories, features, and editorials. Clarence LaCombe and Peter Willox filled the columns on the editorial page, “Methinks” and “Nutty Nooz”’. Fred Newman collected office notes, wrote news stories, and mounted all the pictures for the Annual. Eleanor Finley wrote most of the headlines, assisted occasionally by Sheila Murphy and Margaret Sloan. Lillian Lizerman and Mary Francys Flynn con- tributed club news. Warren Wagner reported on men’s clubs and contributed news stories and features. Willis Billmeier wrote some of the Council reports. Julia Thompson wrote Women’s League news, features, and general news stories. She assisted with the proof-reading and make-up and did practically all the typing for both the Crucible and the Annual. Florence Russ assisted with the typing the first semester. Dorothy Colthorp and Milton Miller took full charge of assembling the individual pictures of both faculty and graduates for the Annual. Milton Miller entirely managed the group pictures. Ellen Roesser was chairman of the division that collected the club reports. She will also assist with the distribution of the Annual. Miss Virginia Eicholtz, head of the Art Department, worked out the art designs for the Annual and gave valuable suggestions as to the make-up. Miss Nellie May McGregor acted as general sponsor. : Since the publication of both the Crucible and the Annual has been carried out with a minimum of anxiety and a maximum of co-operation, the present committee recommends that the same type of organization be continued. 30 (Phi ‘Gheta Kappa First Row—DeFoe, Olmstead, Helbig, Nickel, Moeller. : Second Row—Mr. Schellenbarger, Miss Hellmuth, Friedman, Miss Anschutz. Organized in 1931, the Beta Gamma Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, national honor society for junior colleges, has completed five successful years in Bay City Junior College. . Six members elected last spring form the nucleus of the club this year: Clarence Helbig, President; Willis Friedman, Vice-President; Betty Nickle, Secretary; Kirke Defoe, Treasurer, and Carl Moeller and Helen Olmstead. New members were inducted into the society later this spring. The Honors Committee—Miss Irma Anschutz, Miss Erma Hellmuth, and Mr. R. C. Schellenbarger, are the sponsors of the organization. The initiation service and banquet, an annual affair in honor of new members, were again held at Trinity Parish House, with Dr. W. W. Whitehouse, of Albion College, as guest speaker. Because of the small size of the group, few regular meetings were held during the past year, while there were few social activities to hinder the promotion of high scholarship. New members include: Thomas Seaman, Joyce Bowden, Jane Davis, Nanette Kahn, Virginia Charters, Muriel Heidger, Mary Jane Junkglas, Barbara Winston, Katherine Beaumont, Lillian Lizerman, Karlen Learman, Charles Ditz, Mary Gardner, Ida Fox, Donna Martin, Faye Lucius, Mary E.

One of the largest and most enthusiastic groups on the campus, the Engineers’ Club, this season made as its primary objective the acquaintance of its members with the activities and problems of modern engineering and industry. By combining an instructive with a recreational program, all students enrolled in the Engineering Curriculum were reached. Joseph Diepenbrock was president, Frederick Lantz, vice-president, and Quillion McDowell, secretary. Mr, R. C. Shellenbarger, head of the mathematics department, was sponsor of the club. Although meetings were held but once each month, the club breught outstanding speakers representative of various industries and professions. In December Mr. John Caton, Dean of the Chrysler Institute of Technology in Detroit, spoke on “Behind the Walls of Industry’. ‘“‘The Chemistry and Physics of Water Purification” was the subject of a talk given by Mr. Louis B. Harrison, City Chemist and Filtra- tion Superintendent, at the January meeting. In place of the regular meeting in the following month the club attended a demonstration of the efficiency of fuel combustion in the gasoline engine sponsored in the Auto Mechanics Shop by the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation. On March 23 Mr. J oseph C. Goddeyne, architect of the Bay County Building, gave an informal talk on “Building Construction and the Architect”, outlining the methods, practices and possibilities in the field of architec- ture of today. Later in the year, through the co-operation of the Dow Chemical Company of Midland, the club gained an insight into the chemical field of modern industry. A detailed inspection of the operation of an automobile factory in full production was made on a trip through the Plymouth Motor Corporation in Detroit at the close of the semester. The Club had strong representation in intramural competition. They were undefeated champions in the basketball tournament, and several members were chosen for places on the freshman and sophomore teams that met in the annual foot- ball and basketball games. 32 First Row—M. Miller, Bendall, E. Harvey, Walsh, Harrison, Mr. Martin. Second Row—Herron, Baum, Lipke, Goldstein, Kucera. Third Row—Topp, Dersnah, DeGanton, Friedman, Crego, Jiroch. Under the leadership of David Kahn and Joseph MacPhail, with Mr. G. L. Martin as sponsor, Tetra Sci, an organization of all students enrolled in the four science courses offered at Junior College, was organized in 19382. As its purpose Tetra-Sei offers the students the chance to acquaint themselves with members of the various scientific professions, in order that they may choose their life work to better advantage by means of this acquaintance. Meetings are held twice a month, and the second meeting of the year is set aside for election of officers. This year the following officers were elected: Emerson Harvey, president; Russell Herron, vice-president; Mary Elizabeth Walsh, Secretary- treasurer. During the past year the club has had as its guest speakers, Dr. F. L. Foster speaking on ‘The Dangers of Socialized Medicine”, Dr. G. W. Moore relating the “Work of Bay City’s Health Office’, and Mr. L. B. Harrison, talking about ‘The Purification of Water’’. Each year the club also visits some place of interest to the majority of its members. 33 Business Ad. First Row—Arnold, Bereglass, Traines, Bourdow, Brady, Pittsley. Second Row-—FPerry, Reinhardt, Niedzielski, W ieneke, Beverstein. Third Row—Sicard, Helbig, Milster, Fetting, Sorrell. Fourth Row—Symons, Beckett, Larive, Wagner, F. Lincoln, T. Lincoln, Adler. The Business Ad Club has as its purpose the promotion of interest in business and business relations by means of contact with business men, and the creation of a spirit of co-operation in all social and athletic projects of the college. [ts member- ship is drawn from men in the Business Administration Course. The club holds monthly luncheon meetings at which some prominent business man is invited to speak on a subject of interest to the group. Talks on banking, the stock market, the “Auditor and His Business’, and financial statements have been given by Mr. J. C. Bamford, Mr. Oeming, Mr. R. Wilson, and Mr. A. Copeland. The club has taken active interest in the intramural sports programs of the college, and has also sponsored the annual Spring Prom, and was considering a stag party for members only. Officers of the club during the past year were as follows: Harold Marden, presi- dent; Andrew Bourdow, vice-president; and Ralph Fetting, secretary-treasurer. 34 OCIO- Geographic ej First Row—Miss Hodgson, Kirchman, Wenglikowski, Wendt, Gilling, B. Davis. Second Row—Flynn, Ray, Helbig, B. White, Vaughn. Third Row—Trombley, O’Brien, Hydorn, Murphy, Brady. Fourth Row—Rector, Bailey, Milster, Beeker, Dixon. The Socio-Geographic Club was organized in the spring of 1935 by a group of students who were interested in the social and geographic problems of the world. Miss Erma Hodgson was chosen as faculty sponsor. The purpose of the club is to acquaint the students with the social and geographic problems of the world through the medium of worthwhile discussions. Meetings are held every three weeks. During the past year the following served as officers: Clarence Helbig, chair- man; Betty White, vice-chairman; Genevieve Wenglikowski, recorder, and Ralph Beeker, treasurer. In addition to their regular meetings, the group had the pleasure of hearing a lecture by Dr. Emil Ludwig, and a gift of books was made to the library. Aside from the tri-weekly meetings, the club enjoyed many social activities, among which were included several sleigh rides and a Christmas party, at which the alumni were guests of the group. The club calendar closed with the annual banquet. First Row—L. Miller, Michener, Lipke, O’Brien. Second Row—Helbig, Karpus, Hoerlein, J. Brown. In 1932, a number of college students felt the need of a club in which the members would receive instruction in riflery. Through their efforts, a rifle club was organized the following year. Due to the instruction andenergy of Mr. French, the faculty sponsor, the club membership has grown continually, and with it the activities of the group. Practices are held weekly and each year a team of six is chosen to shoot against teams in the city, and teams in other Junior colleges. The activities of the past season consisted of meets with Flint Junior College, Bay City Central Rifle Club, and the C. M. T. ©. club of Central High. The club has won trophies offered by the Reserve Officers for the past three years. This year the winning team consisted of the following members: Carl Hoerlein, Lawrence Miller, Jim Brown, Paul Lipke, captain, and Arthur Bohnhoff. 36 First Row—Roesser, Mr. Klingbeil, Jungklas. second Row—Dixon, Herron. The college enjoyed a good measure of success in the field of debate, losing only two encounters during the entire season, the question for debate this year being: Resolved: That the Congress of the United States be empowered to over-ride, by a two-thirds majority, decisions of the Supreme Court declaring Acts of Congress unconstitutional. The season was inaugurated by two debates with Flint. The first took place in the Bay City J. C. Assembly, with Richard Dixon and Russel Herron, the home team, taking the negative and defeating the Flint team. The other contest was held in the Speech class with the Bay City Co-ed team, composed of Ellen Roeser and Mary Jane Jungklass, winning a close victory from the Flint negative. Throughout the remainder of the season the negative side was debated by Ellen Roeser and Richard Dixon, and the affirmative by Mary Jane Jungklass and Russel Herron, On the first road trip, to Muskegon, the affirmative met with an easy victory, while the negative lost an exceptionally close decision debate. Both teams were successful at Grand Rapids and at Highland Park. At Wayne the negative lost while the affirmative met with success. Both affirmative and negative teams won victories, by the judge’s decision, over the Jackson team, thus ending the season in triumph in their own school. 37 a rT — Summary of vents “MIKADO CAST” Kirst Row—Mr. Klingbeil, Walsh, Lewie, Jungklas, Mr. Evans.

The varsity basketball team, composed of Captain Charles Bothwell, Jack Greenstein, Ronald Mulligan, Art Kerkau, Tom Holcomb, Charles Isackson, Woodrow Gust, Ralph Beeker, Arnold Beck, Blaine Trombley, and Irving Anthony, played a nine game schedule, winning two of the tilts and losing others by narrow margins. They played two games with each of the following opponents: Jackson, Flint, Port Huron, and Highland Park, and dropped a game to the Michigan State College Reserves. In the State Junior College Basketball Tournament, Bay City was eliminated in the first round. The varsity swimming team enjoyed a very successful season, winning three out of four meets, and taking second place in the State Junior College Swimming Tourna- ment. The team is composed of the following members: Robert McGrath, Paul Lipke, Lawrence Michener, William Baum, Charles Isackson, Kenneth Butterfield, James Anderson, Fred Lincoln, Tom Lincoln, J. Brown, Edwin Plueddemann, and Ed. Burnett. Varsity golf and tennis teams are in training as the annual goes to press. Several experienced men are left from last year’s teams, promising lively competition when the meets in these two sports start. Intramural sports have also played a big part in college men’s activities. Basket- ball teams composed of men enrolled in the various curricula played a tournament during the winter, and at present an intramural softball tournament is being played.

Interest in Women’s Sports was greatly stimulated by the announcement of a new trophy to replace the Bowen cup which is now the permanent possession of Aurae, The new cup is known as the Bay City Hardware Women’s League Intramural Trophy, and is to be awarded in the same manner as the Bowen cup. Hockey first engaged attention with the Sophomores winning the annual Fresh- man-Sophomore game after a hotly contested tilt. The Freshmen won the annual Freshman-Sophomore basketball game, while the Aurae led the League groups in their annual tournament. The swimming meet also went to Aurae, with Mystics second, and S. S. S. third. Tennis practice began early this year and a fairly even race is predicted in the tournament. Bay City Junior College was also represented in the Michigan State Intercollegiate tournament at Kalamazoo, May 30 and 81. The softball tournament has not been played when the Annual goes to press. It will begin on May 11. At present Aurae leads the contestants in number of points for the trophy. 43 “Momen’s Sports SWIMMING TEAM Brams, Schmidt_, Forbes, B. Davis, Gilling.
