More than three hundred strong, we junior college-ites, together with our alarm clocks, AFERRrRRHRRAaReEe our dawn radio programs, our husky shouts for ‘“‘Another towel, Mom!” or ‘‘When’s break- fast ready?” and “Say, Dad—how about a green-back?’’—together a yawning, blinking army, we march up our three flights of stairs for a rendezvous with education — practical education that keeps the community and life in focus; practical education that tells us what and why, that unfolds the pitfalls of the past, the possibilities for the future. And as we stride and leap for the much-too-early eight-thirty class, we can’t help seeing that the neighborhood about us is waking too: setting factory G. Schmidt, R. Hobart, and E.

KEEP ENGLISH-MAJORS HUSTLING! Offering the only sessions in junior college during which the writer may express his thought on “How to pack a box-lunch” to ‘‘The highest motive for man’, the freshman and sophomore English courses invite the student to express his own beliefs, to think logically, to write clearly, con- vineingly. The present freshman study which combines composition, quiz and lecture, is regarded as successful as it is unique among Michigan junior colleges. N. Defoe, F. Robinson, M. Woodbury, M. Kirchman, B.

Traditional council duties — the appropriation of student funds, the arbitration for student problems when they arise—were handled as effic- lently and approvingly as were council projects: the fall mixer, the Jingle Bell Ball, the publi- cation of the college directory, negotiation for ringsand pins, the Open House, and the Spread, final college gathering in mid-June. el UU DENT COUNCIL 12 LA DOADATEETAR RRR REREAR RAPP RAR AR ARR ae!)

Following close in their air lanes are this spring’s student fliers: James Anderson, Clyde Causley, Norman Quast, Dean Willard, Robert Balconi, Kenneth Warren —all of whom will complete their course by June. Their flight instructor is Mr. Allen M. Hoffman; their ground school instructors are Mr. J. H. George, Mr. Fred Rogers, Mr. Hoffman. This winter aviators gathered in Frankenmuth for a banquet. D.

Here at Bay City, junior college men and women behind reports and drafting boards are preparing for lasting pro- gress. TETRA SCL—First row: R. Johnson, president; EB. Cass; A. Kolb; D. Mrozinski; D.

Scientists, however, can be more than formula-jugglers and solution-mixers. They crave companionship too. Tetra Sei is their club in which they may associate and discuss with leaders of their community problems and vocations they have in mind. Under the sponsorship of Mr. G. L. Martin, Tetra Sci has summoned for lecture, a pharmacist and pathologist, and Mr. R. W. Bunting, Dean of the School of Dentistry, University of Michigan. Educational trips have included Jones Clinic and Samari- tan Hospital, Bay City; Caro State Hospital for Epileptics, Wahjamega; Frederic k Stearns Chemical Company and Harper Hospital, Detroit; the medical buildings at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Leaders for Tetra Sci this year are Russell Johnson, president; Warren Peters, vice- president; Jean Billmeir, secretary-treasurer. NGINEERS ENGINEERS—First row: L. Englehardt, president; V.

Officers in the fraternity of draftsmen are Leroy Englehardt, president; Don Pittsley, vice-president; Jack Dersch, secretary; Fred Fowley, treasurer; Roy Atkinson, Ralph Hobart, representatives at large; assisted by eee faculty sponsor, Mr. Fred B.

Practical, has been these engineer’s study, as practical as any junior college course. Well-drilled in English, chemistry, math, mechanical drawing, physics — these gentlemen of the slide-rule are well in demand. Uncle Sam needs skilled engineers. He’ll find them commencement night, Columbus Avenue! .... So, on to more college—on to factory drafting rooms — on to hard work, experience, sacrifice—that America may remain invincible!

Active in student social and intellectual projects, members stage an introductory tea for new members in early fall, an alumni Christmas tea, field trips to Detroit and Ann Arbor in the spring, the annual banquet at Midland Country Club.

In their stead, learning and the means of imparting knowledge have been magnified and improved until today educators regard their profession as a science, a science that inspires appreciation for democratic living and America. Junior college provides the fundamental study not only for city teachers but offers as well a two-year specialized course after which graduates are qualified to teach in rural Bay County schools.

No matter which language Joe College prefers, the pursuit of foreign words and art will broaden his intellectual horizon as he becomes more tolerant and curious for knowledge of distant lands. Indeed, it is essential to know what others say, what they lived for yesterday, what they hope for tomorrow.

Undergraduates whose talent lies in either art or music find abundant proving grounds at college now and in the professional world of tomorrow.

And Joe Col- lege, as one of the two billion mem- bers who inhabit this world—Joe yawns and calls time out for dinner, too. That’s why halls grow empty as the sun drops lower in the west. That’s why junior college exits the way it came—by auto, foot, bus, and cycle. But unlike factory and store, college never completely shuts down—its machinery keeps on pounding and throbbing through the dark hours of evening, through the days of vacation. Junior College knows no time-clock—in homes where lights burn over geology, German, math, physics; in homes where faculty members prepare next day’s study; in gymnasiums where rival teams compete; in club meetings or on debate tours or field trips; at the airport with flying lessons—junior college knows no time-clock, calls no halt to its varied educational program. In the name of higher learning and service, then, junior college strides out for home—out to the community from whence it came and to which it will contribute; out to the neighborhood for which it operates—out to the future, bright and early! 53 QUALITY FURNITURE at Honest Prices C.
