C For ITS FIRST Contribution to the college’s activities of this year, the Engineers’ club turned to the dramatic. A presenta- tion of “The Pot Boilers’, a one-act comedy, was given for an all-school assembly. Following this the club sponsored the Engineers’ Hop for which Len Luplow’s swing band furnished the music. A few weeks later the engineers met at the Schuck Hotel in Saginaw for a chicken dinner. During the evening those present inspected a collection of rare antiques belonging to Mr. Schuck. On May 30, for its annual field trip, the club visited the Great Lakes Steel Corporation in Detroit. Here the club members watched the process of manufacturing steel plant rails and sheet steel for rail- roads. The purpose of such trips is to broaden the students’ knowledge of actual processes used in manufacturing. L296 2 FIRST ROW—Mr. Martin, Bendall, Scott, Topp. Libke, Arnold. SECOND ROW— O'Brien, ‘W.

HIS YEAR’S Junior College dramatic production struck a for- ) mal note in that the ushers were dressed in formal gowns and tuxedos and a party was held for the committee and cast mem- bers at the Trinity Parish House following the play. The play itself was well worked out in an atmosphere of mystery especially in regards to the uncanny swinging of the double doors, which was directed by Billy Sovereign. The directors were Mr. Henry Klingbeil and Miss Erma Hodgson and committee chairmen were Anna Carolyn Martin, Betty Dewey, Nina Lou Harms, Margaret Mulcahy, June Boucher, Tom Lincoln, Patricia Pearsall, Sheila Murphy, William Follis, Stuart Milster, Paul MacDonald and Richard Bendall. The success of the production was attributed to the hard work of these people and their assistants. =) SUMMARY OF EVENTS————— CY 1947 CRUCIBLE Editor was compiling a history of Jaycee from the Crucible files. “1937 must have been a swell year,” he mused, pawing over the stack of 1957 papers. “College opened in September and the Crucible organized—in October, the women got busy early with their elections and ‘‘Get-Acquainted” tea, clubs began to function, and the College Directory made its debut. —November brought Student Council elections, and the first dance of the season, the Women’s League “Swing Time” ovened a festive winter. The Frosh trounced the Sophs in the annual football game, while the Frosh women beat their upper-class sisters at hockey. Editor and associates were elected as the Crucible staff reorganized—‘Battle of the Brains’ checker tournament gave Jaycees an interesting subject of conversation in December, and the basketball team started off the season with a victory. Jaycee Thespians pre- sented “Double Doors’, a mystery melodrama, to a capacity audience, as the Women’s League Christmas Supper Party, and the Christmas assembly heralded Christmas vacation. —“‘Winter Whirl’, and the Engineers’ assembly gave January a gala aspect, while co-eds and men squabbled over the Crucible’s poll of “five desirable qualities for the ideal spouse”. —February ushered in a new semester, and work on the Annual began. The Parents’ Tea, sponsored jointly by the Women’s League and the Student Council, was held late in the month, and “Boys’ Week” candy sales gave the Women’s League a hilarious demonstration of masculine salesmanship. — March saw the end of basketball frays, and the beginning of forensic battle. The speech classes ventured into new fields as they began broadcasting weekly over WBCM, while college natators annexed the State Jaycee swimming championship and a handsome trophy. —In April came the Forestry Club assembly, the Women’s League “Spring Dance’”’, and the men’s Stag Banquet. An unusual “no-date” party, dubbed ‘Play Day’ proved a big success. —-May featured J. C. baseball, the student talent assembly, plans for a women’s lounge, the Annual German Banquet, the Spring Prom, Phi Theta Kappa elections and banquet, and Women’s League elections for the coming year.—The year closed in June in a whirl of activity, as the Crucible Annual appeared, the Women’s League Banquet took place, and the annual all-college “Spread”? wound up the year’s social activities, with final examinations, Baccalaureate and Commencement climaxing the scholastic side.” The editor laid aside the old papers. ‘“‘A great year’, he murmered reflectively as he wrote “Finis” to the chapter in his Jaycee history entitled — “JUNE, 1937” SPORTS MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM FIRST ROW—Klemach, Greenstein, Kerkau, Murray, Patrick.
