STUDENT COUNCIL The J. C. student council, composed of eight repre- sentatives and four committees has made 1939-1940 a worth-while school year. The council began the year with its Mixer at the Y. M. C. A. in October. The next two dances that were given were the Haunted Huddle and the Jingle Bell Ball. The printing of the Student Directory was undertaken by the organization, as were the negotiations for rings and pins. The first party to be held in Saginaw was the “One O’Clock Jump”. The annual Frosh-Soph basketball playoffs took place in April and the Spring Prom in May. The year was climaxed socially by the “Spread”. Membership of the council were Ned Osborne, chairman; Bob Leckie, Russ Johnson, Bob Johnson, Helen Browne, lau Manary, Hugh Dinsmore, and Mary Hemstreet.

CRUCIBLE BI-WEEKLY Ten editions of the Crucible bi-weekly were published during 1939-1940. For the first three issues, the staff was headed by Kenneth Mollhagen. Upon his resignation, William Spitzer became editor. In contrast to former staffs, this year’s staff has been composed largely of sophomores. FRONT ROW—I. Arft, M. DuLong, M. Larkworthy, A. Gerhart, M. Quinnan, B. MacPhail, F. Robinson, 8S. Jungklas. SECOND ROW—A. Kavanagh, M. Sturm, K. Mollhagen, L. Robinson, W. Spitzer, M. Whalen, E. Clinkston, Miss McGregor. The Crucible was entered in the Twenty-second All- American Newspaper Critical Service of the Associated Collegiate Press and received Second Class Honor Rating or Good. 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.
