The staff is satisfied with the rating; for the work is entirely extra-curricular, and many of the con- tributors had no previous experience in writing. The purpose of the Crucible is to record the activities at Junior College and to provide an outlet for student expression. Our purpose has been achieved. Under the direction of Miss Nellie May McGregor, faculty sponsor, and Miss Virginia Eicholtz, art adviser, the Crucible Annual staff was organized in January and William Ditz was elected editor-in- chief.

The purpose of this association of J. C. men is primarily to promote fellowship and to discuss and attempt to settle the problems that come up in every-day college living. The activities of the J. C. “Y” this year consisted mainly in dinner meetings. Several speakers gave talks and open discussion periods were also held. Although the J. C. Y. club did not participate as an organization in the intramural sports program this year, members of the club played on the teams of other organizations. Membership in J. C. Y. is open to any boy in the college. FRONT ROW —D. Sovey, E. Guldenzoph, W. Sheridan, B. Royer, R. Beauvais. SHCOND ROW—In. Ochring, N. Osborn, Mr. Itogers, W. Dersnah. The J. C. Y.

Taylor, Miss Geardsley. “Cive me some men who are stout-hearted men-”’ with this rousing theme song, the eight Junior College male voices introduce themselves. The Varsity Eight, sponsored by Miss Iola Beardsley of the high school music department, has appeared in many engagements this year, having received laudable mention. The members of this double quartet are Rene Beauvais and Robert Taylor, first tenors; Ralph Peterson and Bob Davis, second tenors; Howard Spracklin and Frank Hempy, baritones; John Laetz and Bill Hargreaves, basses; and Warren Peters, pianist. These members have made ap- pearances at the Bay City and Masonic Temples, the Fremont Methodist Church in Bay City, the Jefferson Avenue Methodist Church in Saginaw, the J. C. Open House and all-student talent assembly. At the J. C. spread in June, the Varsity Eight musical- ly bows itself out of a year’s activity at J.C. The Varsity 8, organized in 1937 as an outgrowth of the Junior College A Capella Choir, provides a permanent source of entertainment for Junior College events and serves as a medium of advertising the Junior College to the local schools. 37 S.NAW Junior College competed in four major sports during the 1939-1940 school year. Basket- ball was the most active sport with a total of 18 games being played, 14 in league competition. The Badgers finished second in the league with 8 vietories against six de- feats.

BASKETBALL Not to be outdone by the masculine element, college women enthusiastic- ally supported their crowded year of Women’s League athletics. Striving to keep pace with the calendar’s flying pages, the four League divisions vied with each other for seasonal honors. Katherine Pearsoll’s hockey team fought for its championship in late fall while winter competition called for League basketball. Here the Mystics were victorious over their rival team mates; the hard fighting sopho- mores outdid the freshman girls. Swim- ming honors were awarded B.O.B.A. team of which Edna Young, Nancy DeFoe, Pat Murphy, Jane Hamme, and Anne Kavanagh were members Tennis and golf proved popular while freshman and sophomore women raised the bleacher-cry, “We want a pitcher!” at the annual class soft-ball game early in May.
