ACTIVITIES Our officers this year have been, Donald De Frain, president; George Klepser, vice-president; and John Stone, secretary. Mr. Rogers is the faculty sponsor. Without a doubt you will remember how important the Rifle Club has always been. It is one act- ivity we get a big bang out of. This year we elected as officers Don Carter, president, Joe Simon, vice-president; Bob Schmuck, secretary; Earl Martin, range officer, Mr. Stiles is. the sponsor. The Rifle Club instructs in the proper theory of rifle marksmanship, and we became a member of the National Rifle Association and have been giving this pre-induction training to twenty-four reservists and civilians. In the past we visited various local industrial plants and attended the open house at the Univer- sity of Michigan, but our activities have been entirely abandoned. Mr. Stiles has been thinking about letting the girls have a Rifle Club. Perhaps next fall there will be girls shooting every week, but Mr. Stiles will not be the target—he hopes. Sports this year have been important to us, now that we must be on our toes every minute. Our basketball team, coached by Mr. Hood, did not fare as well this season as in past years. The J. C. Bear- cats won three contests and lost eight. This year J. C. letters were awarded to the follewing men for their service in basketball.: Dean Willoughby, Bob Schroeder, Joe Simon, Ray Halub, John Tews, George Waldron, Al Boucher, Ronald Sievert, Donald Sievert and Ted Bartkowiak, student Manager. Bob Sehroeder was elected captain of the squad. In football and basketball the Freshmen beat the vaunty Sophomores, and the Freshman Engin- eers pushed over the Army Engineers by a count of 26 to 11. The Army Engineers still haven’t lived down the ribbing the Freshmen are giving them. The women have not been active in Field Hockey, tennis, or golf thiis year, but have substi- tuted strict exercises and bowling. It was really ascream to hear the girls groan after the work out they got in gym classes. You have probably heard that the exercises are ones used by the women in the armed forces, so you can imagine the torture they had to go through. Shall I? Shall I not?

CAMPUS Our Socio-Geographic Club enjoyed a full schedule this year. but because of gas and tire rationing all the meetings had to be held in Bay City. Our social program began with a tea held in the college lounge honoring the new members. On Oct- ober 8, Miss Hodgson, the club sponsor, acted as hostess at the dinner held at Mrs. Miller’s, the tea room on Broadway. Highlight of the year was the semi-formal dinner at the home of Audrey Sams. We got the Yule- tide Spirit, and filled a basket with groceries for a poor family. You know that we are always ready to help those in need, and the club raised $127.07 for the Chi- nese Relief Fund by selling various articles to the students. We elected for officers: President, Audrey Sams, Vice-President, Margaret Dulong; Secretary, Ann Pearsall. The Tetra Sei has been having a jolly good time as usual. The future nurses, Doctors, Dentists, and Pharmacists elected Bob Koeser, (you of course remember Bob?), as president, and Bill De Young as Vice-President, Marjorie Miller as Secretary-Treasurer. Remember how you loved crispy fried fish? Well, we had a ‘“fish-fry” at Kawkawln. The home- made cider our sponsor, Mr. Martin, brought was just “out of this world.” The rainy, dark day didn’t stop us from having a wonderful time. We had to wade through mud up to our ankles, but we went canoeing down the dark, romantic Kawkawlin River anyway. At Mr. and Mrs. Martin’s dinner party we gathered ’round and ate delicious “gulosh” concocted by Mrs. Martin’s expert hands. Then we played pool (Carrie North was highest as usual) and, believe it or not, we taught Bob Roeser how to knit. The following few lines may somewhat surprize you, but the war has brought about a great many changes in the Engineer’s Club. As you know, our organization represents the students enrolled in the engineering curriculum, but has been very inactive during the past year because any moment we expected to be called to service. Hold it, fellows! Greetings Tetra Sci!

Life has many viewpoints. We can’t forget our Bowling. You can imagine what a time the spectators had watching the be- ginners. Balls dropping this way and that, taking chuncks out of the floor, or zooming for the gutter. Well, to make a long story longer, we have some excellant bowlers who can roll a mean ball. This year our Christmas play, “Emanuel,” was really a huge success. Of course our own Mr. Kling- beil was the director, and Ardith Sanquist, student director. It’s too bad you couldn’t have been with us during p ractice. What a time we had! Some of the From the kindergarten to the world of action.
