STUDENT COUNCIL HE Student Council composed of four sophomore and four freshmen members elected by the college at large, was headed this year by John Pierson. The social activities included a mixer at the beginning of the year, a Hallowe’en party called the “Cider Swing”, and a Christmas party called the “Holly Hop”. In conjunction with the Women’s League the Council also sponsored the Parents’ Tea, one of the largest receptions for parents, faculty members, and students in the history of the college. As to the serious side of business, the Council worked hard with the faculty to acquire a Junior College lounge room and to furnish it comfortably. Fine cooperation from the student body helped to make the intramural athletic program a success. Real college spirit broke out at the annual field day. A radio skit, the sponsorship of Shakespearean plays, and a varied assembly program also gave evidence that the college had a busy year. The committee heads were: Social, Coral Huffman; Finance, Earnest Jobe; Serapbook, Marjorie Larkworthy; Assembly, Hugh Dinsmore; Booster, Robert Jungklas; Athletics, Robert Shearer; Publicity, Robert Ellery; Pin, Anita Johnston; Lounge, Clara Johnston. WOMEN'S LEAGUE HE purpose of the Women’s League is to unite all the girls of Junior College T that they may present activities by which money can be earned to provide for a loan fund for the students of Junior College. Many activities have made this year an outstanding one for the Women’s League. The “fxcursion’’, the Christmas banquet, the Parents’ Tea, the Spring Dance, and the annual May banquet each did its part toward helping the girls to become acquainted and provide for many good times. ) The officers for the past year included Violet Marti, president; Catherine Natsis, vice-president; Patricia Fowley, recording secretary; Eileen Phalen (later replaced by Joyce Drehmer), corresponding secretary; Jean Finkbeiner, treasurer. The chairmen of the standing committees were as follows: Margaret Forbes, athletics; Isabelle Dease, social; Betty Steele, candy; Jane Fox, nominating and scholarship. The leaders of the six groups were as follows: Arpatia—Phyllis Peach (first semester), Corinne LeFranier (second semester); Aurae, Helen Finkbeiner; B.O.B.A., Margaret Burnett; Corona, Virginia Rice; Mystics, Jane Eyre; S. S. S., Mary Dick Holcomb. The membership consists of all the women students enrolled at Junior College, the women faculty members, and the wives of faculty men. Miss Mathilda Schroeder, Miss Irma Anschutz, and Miss Erma Hellmuth are the sponsors. CRUCIBLE HE Crucible, the bi-monthly publieation, organized in September with Henry B. Smith as temporary editor. After two weeks a permanent staff was selected with Henry B. Smith as editor-in-chief, Helen and Jean Finkbeiner as assistant editors, Bernard Sauve and Virginia Rice, sports editors; Frances Patterson and Rosemary Ryan, features; Kenneth Mollhagen and Walter Childs, columns; Isabelle Trombley as circulation manager; Mary Dulong, Catherine Natsis, Elna Murphy and Clifford Campbell on organizations. Miss Nellie May McGregor was faculty sponsor. During the year the staff worked very hard and steadily on the issues and a fine workmanlike job was the result. The publication continued its affiliation with the Associated Collegiate Press. There were no social events during the year, just steady, hard work. The Annual staff, separate from the Crucible staff, was organized after Christmas and Peggy Schmitt was selected as editor-in-chief. She planned thé book under the direction of Miss Virginia Eicholtz, art instructor, and took charge of mounting the art work. An innovation was begin in having snapshots of the faculty and students in place of formal pictures of groups. Others working on the Annual staff were: Mark Hickey, James Follette, Elna Murphy, Jean Finkbeiner, Edwin Hinkle, Margaret Forbes, and Virginia Rice. page twenty-five 1939 page twelty-six PHI THETA KAPPA ETA GAMMA chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa, national honor society for junior B colleges, was established at Bay City Junior College in 1931.

The new members are elected annually by the faculty headed by Miss Irma Anschutz, Miss Erma Hellmuth, and Mr. G. M. French, all of the educational policies committee. This year the Beta Gamma members were prominent as leaders, one heading the Student Council, another the Women’s League, and all holding high offices in school organizations.

Officers this year were: Lyle Albright, president; Max Neumann, vice-president; Jean Finkbeiner, secretary; and Jane Fox, treasurer. THE ENGINEERS’ CLUB HE Engineers’ Club is an organization of the engineering students of Junior College. It has a double purpose: first, to give its members a better understanding of the profession they are working toward; and second, to promote a better social understanding among its members. This year the club sponsors were Mr. R. C. Schellenbarger, head of the Mathe- matics Department, and Mr. F. B. Rogers, head of the Physics Department and curriculum advisor. From an educational viewpoint the club had prominent engineers of the vicinity as meeting speakers. Their topics included modern engineering’ practices and different fields of engineering. Technical literature was made available to the members. A popular educational event was the organization’s annual field trip to Detroit. In the fall an all-college assembly program was presented by members of the club. The Engineers’ Hop was an important part of the organization’s contribution to the college social schedule. Another social event, which every member who attended thoroughly enjoyed and will long remember, was the Get Acquainted banquet at Frankenmuth— (Chicken was served platter style). In the line of intramural sports the club was prominent with four basketball teams and two softball teams. OFFICERS Ed Day ; , : . . ; President Louis Smith . : ’ ; ; : ; , : , : .

TETRA SCI CLUB HE Tetra Sci Club started the year with twenty-eight members from the pre- medic, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, and pre-chemical curricula, combined with the pre-nursing students. The purpose of the club being to acquaint the members with the respective professional viewpoints, a diversified program was planned. This program included hospital visits, talks by men in the different branches of the several professions, and opportunities for the students to witness such everyday work as surgery, blood transfusions, and autopsies. Two excursions were taken by the members, one in December to the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and another to the Battle Creek Sanitorium. Tetra Sci’s basketball team, the first in several years, under the title ‘“Pre-Meds”’ won consistently during the intramural basketball program, only to be beaten by the ‘Business Ad” team in the final elimination. Sports continued to occupy an important part of the club’s activities during the spring intramural softball schedule. This latter venture was less successful as the team lost the first four games. Activities of the year were terminated with a well-planned picnic at the State Park on May 16. The committees for this event were headed by Clara Johnston and Clarence Knodt. The officers directing the year’s activities were: President mete Let ee ee aL eee te oe ee Barnesia ope Vice-President sae s. (pil =e tee | lie me Martin: Paylor Sécretarwelheactivenee es?)

Burchill, vice-president; Harry G. Davis, secretary; and Harvey Bottke as treasurer. Throughout the year they had many interesting and profitable club activities. Luncheons were held this year that proved very constructive to the members; also interesting trips were taken through the various industrial plants in the city. Combining with the Business Girls, the “Business Cycle”, a dance at the Midland Country Club, was a very enjoyable and successful affair. In the way of contributions the Club donated a radio for the new lounge. SOCIO-GEOGRAPHIC CLUB HE Socio-Geographic Club has completed another eventful year under the sponsorship of Miss Erma B. Hodg'son. Meetings were held every three weeks at the homes of the various members, the program consisting of discussions on various topics of interest by two members at each meeting. This year, due to an increase in College enrollment an amendment to the club’s constitution was made which permitted an additional five members in the organization. The total membership now totals twenty-five. In keeping with tradition the club sponsored a Christmas Party for all the old members. Reverend Penfield, noted lecturer and traveler of Saginaw, gave an illustrated lecture on his recent trip to Alaska. At the end of the first semester and again during the year the club presented several of the outstanding books of 1938 and 1939 to the Junior College library. Activities of special interest in which the club participated were the assistance at the Shakespearian plays held here for the benefit of all the surrounding area, attendance at a book review of the famous book ‘“‘The Life of Madam Curie” by Miss Garton at the Trinity Parish House in Bay City, and a trip to Ann Arbor to see a play presented by the University Players. The annual semi-formal banquet for both past and present members will be held at Trinity Parish House on June 15th. All in all, it is the consensus of both the members and the sponsor that the present year has been enjoyable and successful.

RIFLE CLUB NDER the supervision of Mr. G. M. French, the Junior College Rifle Club started | its activities in October. At the first meeting Joseph Kinsey was elected president and William Dresser, vice-president. The competition between the members for positions on the team was very keen and those chosen were: William Dresser, Joseph Kinsey, Don Waller, William Jackson, Henry Stevens, and John Gee. The team defeated the Reserve Officers by a score of 725 to 643 and lost to Saginaw Juniors in a prone match by a margin of seven points. This year two new Winchester Model 75 rifles and a spotting scope were added to the club’s equipment. page twenty-nine I939 DEBATE AY City Junior College, a member of the Michigan State Junior College Debate League, participated in seven intercollegiate debates during the 1939 season. Mr. Klingbeil, chairman of the State Debate League and head of the local speech department, coached the Bay City Junior College debate teams. Members of the varsity debate squad were: Affirmative—Roger Oeming and David A. Gainey, and Negative—James Follette and Charles Clancy. Alternates were Hugh Dinsmore, Ellen Fleischmann, Wendall Phillips, James White, and John Mitchell. The question for debate was “Resolved: That the United States should cease to use public funds (including credit) for the purpose of stimulating business”. Bay City met the fol- lowing teams at Bay City: Jackson J. C., Detroit Institute of Technology, Lawrence Institute, and Wayne University. Debates abroad included Port Huron J. C., Flint J. C., and Highland Park J. C. Besides the varsity debating there were many interest- ing inter-class debates on the same subject and on the subject, “Resolved: That the Junior Colleges should have the support of every citizen of this state’. All told, the Bay City Debate teams had a very highly successful season. BUSINESS GIRLS’ CLUB HE Business Girls’ Club of Bay City Junior College has had a very successful year both socially and educationally with Mrs. Katherine Bowley as its sponsor. Its constitution provides that the membership be limited to those girls en- rolled in business courses, that officers be elected in the fall of each year and that meetings be held regularly throughout the year in the form of business meetings and luncheons. Speakers of practical experience in the business wotld have offered helpful suggestions to the girls at the luncheons. In December a Christmas party was held in the Little Theater under the dircetion of Marjory Chapman. Decorations were in the Christmas motif. Dancing and games were the order of the evening. Mrs. Bowley and Dean and Mrs. Butterfield were guests of the club. In April the girls had a roller skating party in Saginaw to entertain their friends. Co-chairmen were Ernestine Dilas and Rose Thaut. Also in the Spring the girls held a pot-luck of which Shirley Berglass and Marjory Palmer were co-chairmen. On April 28th the Business Girls’ Club joined with the Business Ad Club to sponsor a spring dance with Coral Huffman and John Benson as co-chairmen of the affair. Mrs. Bowley, Mr. French, and Mr. Tunison sponsored the dance. The crowning event to be held in June will be the banquet arranged by the freshmen girls of the club in honor of the club’s graduates, Coral Huffman, Marjory Chapman, Shirley Berglass, Marjory Palmer, Margaret Burnett, Sybil Werbelow, Liewella Pennell, Mildred St. Pierre, Corinne LaFranier, Virginia Jensen, Hugenia Gwizdala, Adele Kolka, and Frances Hutchenreuther.

THE A CAPELLA CHOIR HE Junior College A Capella Choir was organized early in the fall by the students ale under the direction of H. R. Evans. The choir consisted of approximately sixty members who met once a week during the lunch hour for rehearsals. They concentrated their efforts on the Christmas program which took place just before the Christmas vacation. This year the choir was assisted in the Christmas program by the high school orchestra, also directed by Mr. Evans, which played several special numbers and accompanied the group singing. The program included Christmas carols and familiar anthems. Highlights of the program were Handel’s Ha llelujah Chorus and a Christmas carol composed by Mr. Evans. Dean Butterfield and members of the faculty, acting in the capacity of Old Newsboys, closed the assembly by selling newspapers through- out the audience. After the program the members of the choir presented Mr. Evans with a gift as an expression of their gratitude for his help in preparing the program. The choir then disbanded until next fall. page thirty-one 1939 en Fae Ee te page thirty-two THE J. C. Y. CLUB HE J. C. Y. has been functioning since September, 1937, and has been doing | a splendid job. Fellowship is the aim of the club, and it has been successfully reached, Throughout the college year the club has held semi-monthly supper meetings. Among the guest speakers were Captain French of the Officers’ Reserve Corps and Mr. Unruh who is affiliated with the international service of the Carnegie Institute. Sergeant Sullivan of the State police, Mr. Unruh, and Mr. Campbell, a well-known group leader connected with the Y. M. C. A., were secured for college assemblies.

The project was financed by the sale of school pennants. Members of the club spent some of their spring vacation touring Northern Michigan visiting West Branch, Grayling, the Hartwick Pines, the Au Sable Forest, Rogers City, and Camp Bear Lake where they were guests of the United States government. A tour was also made of the forest reserves near Alpena. The season closed with a farewell banquet in honor of the graduating officers.

RADIO GAIN this year the Bay City Junior College Speech Department presented a A series of programs over station WBCM. The topies presented were educational and special interest subjects. A highlight of the series was the program called “Answer Me This!’, a question and answer game dealing with interesting facts about the Saginaw Valley. The script was prepared especially for this program by Thomas O’Reilly. Members of the cast were Edwin Hinkle, Tom O'Reilly, Franklin Staebell, Clarence Knott, and David A. Gainey. Because of its success, the program was repeated for the benefit of the Saginaw Rotary Club. Other interesting programs were “Have You Heard?”, a script explaining the work of rivers, a debate on the question, “Resolved: That the junior colleges should have the support of every citizen of the state’, and a sample Student Council meeting with members of the Student Council as the cast. These programs were well received by the radio audience of Michigan as seen by the numerous letters sent to station WBCM. page thirty-three 1939 DRAMA N December 8th two one-act plays were presented in assembly by student directors. These plays, replacing the usual full-length drama, were the first to be presented in Junior College by student directors. The plays were ‘The Finger of God” by Percival Wilde and ‘‘The Grill’? by G. W. Johnston. The former play was based upon the strugele between man’s conscience and materialism. In the cast were Edwin Hinkle, Charles Patrick and Frances Patterson, who directed the play. “The Grill”, a comedy-mystery drama centering about a robbery, was directed by Mary Healy. The cast included Virginia Rice, Ruth Mast, Jack Wallace, and Ralph Reid. THE VARSITY EIGHT HE Varsity Eight, Junior Ccllege male double quartet, was organized in December, 193%, as an outgrowth of the Junior College A Capella Choir. The purpose was to provide a permanent source of entertainment for Junior College social events and to serve as a medium of advertising Junior College to local schools and organizations. With the start of the 19388-1939 school year, the Varsity Hight was established as a permanent fixture in the school and was recognized as a club by the Student Council. Mrs. Bowley, Junior College registrar, graciously consented to be the club’s sponsor. With the approval of the Student Council, they purchased musie and letters, and, as their official garb, affected white sweaters with blue and white Junior College letters. Their bow to Junior College was made at the Parents’ Tea in February, 1939, with a group of four songs, both old and modern. They were kept busy for the rest of the school year, singing not only in Bay City and surrounding regions, but also over the air. The personnel of this year’s Varsity Eight is as follows: First tenors: Robert Bailey and Rene Beauvais. Second tenors: Henry Smith, III, and James Anderson. Baritones: Paul Newman and Floyd Rechlin. Basses: William Hargreaves and John Laetz. Floyd Rechlin acted as secretary for the club, and Miss Isabelle Dease acted as librarian and pianist. page thirty-four THE YEAR IN REVIEW AST Sentember, about four hundred of northeastern Michigan’s outstanding young people left behind a joyous summer to take up the book and pen. Many things happened during the course of the year, the more important of which will be noted here. Hope we don’t forget anything! One of the first big occasions of the year was the “Cider Swing’’. True inspiration must have been present in the colorful costumes which ranged from the mad and ridiculous to the sublime. Closely following came the frosh-sophomore football game, the freshmen coming out on top, 7-6, a case of brawn over brain, according to soph Walt Childs. Great care was taken by the Student Council to make its “Holly Hop” a a momentous affair. Coral Huffman was general chairman, and she was instrumental in making it a gala event of the winter. About this time, “The Ghost of Yankee Doodle’? was shelved because of its profanity and bad taste. Mr. Klingbeil and a group of speech students decided to give a pair of one-act plays instead, which were well received by the student body. At a later date, a professional group of actors presented “Hamlet” and “Macbeth” in the auditorium for the college’s numerous Shakespearian drama fans. In a lively musical poll, Hal Kemp easily won first place as Jaycee’s favorite orchestra leader with Kay Kyser and Benny Goodman trailing. ‘‘Stardust” and “My Reverie”? stood out as most popular song selections. The basketball team’s record of four wins and twelve losses is nevertheless better than that of previous years. The team gives good promise of going places in the winter of ’39-’40, with many experienced men. The Parents’ Tea on March tenth was a well attended social success, and brought about a closer relationship between parents and faculty. On March seventeenth the Engineers gave their annual Hop. Ed Day was general chairman of this unique dance, for which Rush Willard’s orchestra provided music. On April twenty-eighth, the Business Clubs of J. C. presented the “Business Cycle”? dance at the beautiful Midland Country Club. Much interest was fostered in this social occasion by having everyone vote for his favorite song, with the three top tunes played during the evening by the orchestra. The new lounge room was opened in April for members of the college. It was popular from the start for informal relaxation. Various clubs made plans to contribute furniture, magazines and memorials to the room. Still on the calendar are the college “Spread’’, exams (oh! oh!), Baccalaureate, and graduation. It has been a full year and a progressive one for Bay City Junior College. page thirty-five 1939 page thirty-seven WOMEN’S ATHLETICS HE Women’s athletic chairman this year was Margaret Forbes, who was chosen by Miss Ada Royal, the gym instructor. More enthusiasm than ever before was shown in all the women’s athletic events of the year. The events of the year were a hockey tournament, swimming meet, basketball tournament, softball, and tennis. The freshmen took the annual hockey game and basketball tournament. The Mystics won the women’s league basketball tournament, with Arpatia placing second, and S. S. S. third. 'lop honors at the swimming meet were awarded to 8. S. S. with Arpatia second and Aurae third. Five tennis players were chosen to represent Bay City Junior College in the Michigan Intercollegiate tournament at Kalamazoo in May. The Women’s League softball tournament was won by the Mystics, B.O.B.A. placed second. MEN’S ATHLETICS BASKETBALL y ITH the inauguration of Mr. Elson Hood as athletic director in Junior College, Y and a large freshman tur nout, basketball prospects looked bright for the first time in several years. A long string of previous defeats was broken December 9, 19388 as a smooth working Bay City quintet easily defeated Port Huron J. C. Hopes for a successful season waned as Muskegon Junior College won from the locals, but the smothering under of a strong Grand Rapids aggregation revived interest and brightened the path to victory. School spirit slowly died out as the basketball team lost several successive games. With Isackson leading the attack Bay City came out of the slump temporarily and nosed out Central State Teachers’ College freshmen in a fast, high scoring contest. Port Huron became a victim of Bay City for the second time, ending on the short end of a 48 to 30 score. Junior College ended its 1938-39 basketball season with a trouncing by Muskegon 53 to 387. In spite of the many defeats handed to Bay City each game was a high scoring affair. Johnson and Isackson shared scoring’ honors for the team and placed high among top conference scorers with 126 and 124 points respectively. With only one sophomore, Joe Gaffney, leaving the team and the possibility that Captain Gordon Lee would return to lead them, Isackson, Johnson, Nordstrom, Davis, Powell, Rudolph, and Shearer should provide plenty of trouble for rival junior colleges in the basketball conference next winter.

In spite of this handicap considerable strength was shown, the team losing meets with Jackson and Highland Park by only very close margins and winning from Kalamazoo. Although Coach Hood’s primary objective was to build up the team for next year, his efforts were rewarded by the team’s placing third in the state swimming meet at Michigan State College. The year’s activities were climaxed with the issuing of Junior College emblems to the team members at the annual ‘Spread’; James Anderson was honored as most valuable member. The members of the team included: Henry Smith, Walter Childs, James Anderson, William Hargraves, Albert Breen, Eric Wilson, Walter Williamson, and Frank Mason. page thirty-eight a ee Ts we — oe x wa © Leo a ee i 9 om | me.
