The first sponsors were Miss Mathilda Schroeder and the late Guy Ferris. Since 1929 Miss Nellie May McGregor has been the advisor. There have been several able editors and staffs whothrough the years have help- ed to shape The Crucible’s policies. The 1946-47 Bi-weekly was under the co-edit- orship of Robert Wiecha, who graduated in January and Robert Dean, who continued to carry the burden of publication assisted by Lewis Coumans. Staff members included Gerard Adams, Robert Costa, Carol Ehmann, Edward Jabonski, Ester Lisuis, David Penrod, Helen Ryan, Mary Urban, and Betty Wirbel. With Lewis Coumans as editor -in- chief and Robert Dean as assistant editor, the Annual Staff was organized the second semester. Bruce Newton has planned the layout of the yearbook and taken charge of the Art production assisted by members of the Art Department, Donald Permoda, Peter Simon, and Helen Levy. The cartoons were orig - inated and drawn by Robert Monks. Elizabeth (Bettie) Heath has collected and edited all printed material. Sports events were written by Robert Costa. The Social Life feature was cooperately written by Mary Urban and Mary Pittsley. Special event article was written by Gerard Adams. Adver- tising for the Crucible has been solicited in Bay City by Scott Pope and Donald Smith, in Midland by Bert Braun, and in Saginaw by Bruce Newton. All copy material was typed by Bettie Heath and Bruce Newton. Throughout this Anniversary Issue of The Crucible is a novelty in layout for college annuals, a scheme of design know as 'The Inverted Pyramid. Each page is designed and balanced with its com- plementary page, forming the inverted pyramid Style. The entire 1947 Crucible is centered around the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Issue theme with the dedication to all the founders, builders, and alumni of the Bay City Junior College during its twenty-five years of existence. We wish to thank our sponsor, Miss McGregor for her untiring assistence and Mrs. Plum, art instructor, for her suggestive ideas. We wish to thank the entire faculty and student body for their supply of information that has made this sil- ver anniversary issue complete. An added thanks to Hartwell Graphic for their help in printing The Crucible for the first time in Lithographic Offset. ha Dean Butterfield has plen- ty of information about the value of the Junior College Faculty Sponsored by the late G.L. Jenner, former super- intendent of the Bay City public schools, Bay City Junior College had its inception in 1922. The late W. Leroy Perkins was the first dean, succeeded by the late N. B. Sloan, who as Principal of Central High School retired in 1926 because of illness. Then George E. Butterfield, who had been serving as registrar, assumed his present duties as dean. Under his capable direction Bay City Junior College has taken its place among the foremost junior colleges of Michigan and has expanded from a handful of students to more than seven hundred and fifty. Besides the two regular sem- esters there has developed a summer session offering the regular transfer courses in all departments of study. Mrs. Helen C. Watson is secretary to Dean Butter- field. Miss Grace Fettig is Registrar; Mrs. Thelma DeFrain, Recorder; and Clarence Schultz, bursar. Miss Zielinski and Miss Fettig teach psychology 1. Mr. Schultz has many busi- ness duties; Mrs. Watson knows office techniques; Miss Kessler is chief librar- ian. Our Dean is here in the role of Psychology 21 instructor. The English department in 1922 had one instructor, Miss Mathilda Schroeder, who remained head of the department until her retirement in 1944. There are now seven instructors including Nellie May McGregor, head; Ada E. Hobbs, Henry C. Klingbeil, Earl Smith, Louis K. Ueberhorst, Gladys Klingbeil, and Margaret B. Omans. All the English courses are in conformity with the standards set up by the English department of the University of Michigan. Here are the Math Pro- fessors. They know all about equations. at They all look serious. No wonder! They teach Eng- lish. Mr. R.C.Schellenbarger started University trans- fer courses in mathematics in the Bay City Junior College twenty-five years ago. Terminal courses for two year programs and refresher courses have been added to the curriculum since that date. Other former instructors were Mr. Rogers and Mr. George of the science department and the late Eugene Dusnak. Present instructors are Meta Ewing, head; W.C. Thorsberg, Leo L. Bailey, Nelda Taylor, and Frank Hewitt. . 6h} Lo They do look like scien- tists, and that is what they are -the J.C. science faculty. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Geology are all featured as basic courses for various Junior College transfer requirements. Our laboratories are well equipped, and the courses are planned carefully by capable instructors: Elizabeth Krafka, biology; Samuel J. Freed, Adrian F. Zwemer, and Mildred Forbes, chemistry; Fred B. Rogers, phys- ics; and J.H. George, geology. It is thus possible for 38F $8, Avatine ¥ students to receive the required two years’ instruc- tion in science preparatory to medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, and other fields to which science is necessary. Vocational studies, business, and physical training appeal to practical young Americans in quest of success and recreation. aly iZz=-- N N Business, vocational arts, and physical training are necessary in our college curriculum. ) They teach history, music, political science, geography, economics, socio- logy, Spanish, French and arts. Even in our scientific age, art, music, foreign languages, geography, history, and sociology continue to attract students. Mr. Evans and Mr. Cady offer music courses basic to liberal arts and general education. The A Cappella choir has given both entertainment and in- Struction to the participants. The social studies division staffed by Miss Hodgson, Mr. Stiles, Mr. Parks, has provided training in a field that has become highly important in our post war world. Miss Bishop in her French classes and Miss Hell- muth in her German and Spanish illustrate the truth that modern foreign languages should form an essen- tial part of college study in America. Mrs. Plum’s art classes are made up of students of all curricula. For the first time in our history, our art instructor teaches only Junior College classes. Leo L.

The Socio-Geographic Club has been in existence Since 1935, when it was organized by the geography and sociology students to discuss world matters that time would not allow for in school. The club’s charter president was Allan Hayes, now aDoctor on the teach- ing staff of the U. of M. hospital. The faculty advisor- ship went to Miss Erma B. (‘‘Hodge’’) Hodgson. Present members are: Ernest Grzybowski, Margaret Ann Guss, Keith Rose, Pat Bowman, Rita Sauve, Ardis Gabbe, Elizabeth Heath, Pat Beckett, Pat Kiah, Jody French, Lois Williams, James Conley, James Kavanagh, Alex Szott, Rex Bricker, Don Sievert, Tom Symons, Carl Schilling, Roy Gerard, Don Camp- bell, Johnny Morris and his petite wife Betts, and the two members that left in January, Marilyn Nielsen and Carolyn Thorson. The Engineers’ Club is under the sponsorship of Mr. Fred B. Rogers. The officers include: President, Donald Dulude; Vice-President, John Bourne; and Secretary-Treasurer, Robert Clark. These Engineers will be building things some day. The aim of Phi Theta Kappa is to ‘‘Promote scholarship, to develop character, and to cultivate fellowship among Junior College students.’’ A national honor fraternity, Phi Theta represents the highest scholastic honor obtainable at J. C. Bay City’s Beta Gamma Chapter was organized in 1932 under the sponsorship of Miss Erma Hellmuth. The members are: Dick Norling, Ethel Andrzejewski, Dorothy Dease, Jacqueline Parrish, Mary Urban, Jeanne Duncan, Don Campbell, Barbara Kennedy, John Koenig, Virginia Wilson, Carol Thorsby, Gerard Adams, Peter Adams, and Clarence Mikolajczak.

Tetra-Sci was organized October 1931, by two students, David Hahn and Joseph MacPhail, under the sponsorship of Mr. Martin and now under Mr. Freed and Mr. Zwemer. The aims are to acquaint students of sciences with the practical application of science; to enhance the students’ interest in Science; to furnish a forum for scientific thought and principles; to organize field trips for the study of the various Scientific professions; and to stimulate scientific fellowship through various social functions. Their most important activity, other than regular trips was their dance ‘“‘Spring Fever’’ May 2, at Farragut School. .— oe The Women’s League Cab- inet-Entirely Feminine. Women's League The Women’s League, now under the guiding hand of Miss Erma Hellmuth, was organized May, 1936, under the faculty advisorship of Miss Irma Anschutz, Miss Elizabeth Krafka, and Miss Mathilda Schroeder, for the purpose of developing friend- Ship and understanding among the women of J. C. by working together for a common, worthy cause. The entire women body is divided into six units which make up the entire Women’s League. These groups and present leaders are:B.0.B.A., Dorothy Dease; Aurae, Laurene Hummon; Mystics, Mary Urban; Arpathia, Patricia Williamson; S.S.S., Ardis Gabbe; and Corona, Virginia Berg. The other officers include: President, Carol Meisel; Vice-President, Margaret MacLachlen; Recording Secretary, Joan Richardson; Treasurer, Jacqueline Parish; Corresponding Secretary, Jeanne Clark; Social Chairman, Patricia Tway; and Ath- letic Chairman, Joyce Richmond. The major activities undertaken this year were the establishment of a scholarship fund for the benefit each year of J. C. sophomore women and a bowling tournament at Flint between our J.C. women and the women of Flint J.C. Traditional activities also included the candy sales in the book- store and the Christmas and May banquets. We shall await the League danceto be held Commence- ment night.

Silence Please! Burney Voelker is about to speak. The General Motors Man holds the attention of his audience. Assemblies being a vital part of collegiate life, Tuesdays at two o’clock found students and faculty in the auditorium prepared to be entertained or to receive information first-hand from speakers familiar with various fields. Dean Butterfield has often used a fraction of the hour to familiarize the audience with details of the local college, mostly of a curricular nature; and the Veterans’ Council has occasionally had the opportunity of presenting important material to the members. Dick Norling, Harold Martin, Burney Voelker, and our bursar, Clarence Schultz, have had prac- tice in introducing our speakers. The General Motors assembly was an example of the variety of entertainment presented. =?

Every day at 1 o’clock, a group of students gather in room 348 to practice singing under the very capable direction of our own ‘‘Mr. Music”’ or as he is other- wise known, H. R. Evans. Praise as well as reproaches are given to the choir, for Rusty wants his choir to be perfect. His one aim is to get the group at least to finish together, for he believes that unity adds some- thing to a song.

C. functions. 23 24 Under the guidance of Mrs. Kathleen Plum the art students pursue their activities in a room set apart for their use at Farragut School.

Coach Palmer Kern started out the season with an all rookie team, by mid-season he had developed one of the best teams in the conference. The boys won the last seven games played and ended with 848 points, an av- erage of 44.6 points per game. The opposition scored 780 points for an average of 41 points for each game. Early season defeats kept the boys from finishing higher than 4th place. J.C.

But the various departments of the college curriculum staged some intramural football games to determine which group could claim the championship. The team from the Liberal Arts department emerged the champs by virtue of a 6-0 victory over the Business Administration team. The Business Ad- ministration team had previously beaten the Pre-Medical team also bya 6-0 score. Marty Legatz coached the Liberal Arts team to the championship. Formal picture of Princess Pat and her court for the ‘‘Snow Ball’’. q This group represents the men of J. C. who earned letters through participation in various sports. These are just a few of the sports activities that the gals carry on. As part of the physical fitness program for the girls at the Col- lege, an extensive bowling pro- gram, lead by Miss Royal, has been launched this year. Don’t let anyone kid you! Girls can bowl just as well as boys. Ask Maxine Andrzejewski. She bowled 154 down at the Alert alleys. How many amateur bowlers a- mong you boys can boast of such a commendable score? The annual problem of registration was greater than ever this year because of the influx of veterans and other students just out of high school, causing a necessitated change in the usual procedure. When the new method was employed, everything did not run as smoothly as was hoped, for this was the largest group ever to attend J.C. Attendance figures have been around 100 for the past sev- eral years with the highest pre-war enroliment around 400. Naturally there were great changes needed in reg- istration, and the procedure initiated this year is worthy of high praise, thanks to the hard working crew led by Clarence Schultz, Mrs. Thelma DeFrain and Mrs. Helen Watson. Credit should be given also tonumerous teachers who helped in stations along the way and speeded up reg- istration with valuable suggestions. Registration brings to the mind memories of long, long lines and headaches for the students, but it might be noted that not only did the students’ patience run short but the teachers’ also; for the advisors were in a non- enviable position of helping settle programs and resulting conflicts in schedules. After election cards were obtained, conferences with advisors were over, and the long wait to secure class cards in the library was ended, enrollment went at a 30 i A Li OLA Ie (hl SS oF 2 . y ate er arreee .

From the library students proceeded to the now filled-to-capacity Reading Room, where Clarence Schultz made out individ- uai financial statements and instructed us to go a little farther onto Mrs. Baily where allthe non-veteran students gave over their money which was earmarked for an ex- cellent purpose. After this stop, the spotlight played upon the illustrious Bookstore and its crew. Here in this tiny cubicle of the building were collected more students than the sum total of those elsewhere inthe building. After all supplies were finally obtained, the students made their merry way to respective classes all set and eager to start official work on their individual fields of work. The bulk of the problems which arose, naturally had to be referred to the office, and it is no exaggeration when it is said that there was the official ‘‘Hot-Box’’ of the entire college. Only under the expert guidance of Dean Butter- field and the capability of Mrs. Watson, did everything turn out so well. The regular office staff was fortified with extra help essential for the regular office duties which accumulated without regard to other important matters. The total number of students registered this semester was 750, with 496 being veterans. There were seven women veterans, 31 Mr. Schultz goes over his records. One of the most vivid things that J. C. students will re- member is the long, long lines that were associated with the getting of supplies from that busy and popular place the College Bookstore. Was it really the getting of supplies that made it popular, or was it the pleasing manner of Miss Mary Pittsley ? The management of the Bookstore is under the super- vision of Clarence Schultz, who did a fine job of procuring enough supplies for all of us. The anly difficulty encauntered was the securing of mare Political Science hooks for that favorite Professor of ours, Mr. Parks. Thelma DeFrain, Recorder, carries out her official dutues inthe Bookstore also, but come this June 13, ““T,Weed’’ won’t be with us at all anymore, for she intends to devote her time exclusively to homemaking and further study for her Master’s degree. Mary Pittsley delivers the new text books. =| . Here is Mr. French, the Vets’ The purpose of the Veterans’ Council ts to as- sist veterans at J. C. by diseminating all informa- tion pertaining to the welfare of veterans, and promoting activities which may benefit the veteran in school. As a member of the State of Michigan Students Veteran Organization, J. C. sends delegates to the state meetings every two months to secure infor- mation of activities being carried on in the eighteen other colleges of the state whose campus affiliations are also members of the state organ- ization. Projects that have been undertaken by the Michigan Organization include first, the speeding up of subsistence receipts for veterans, and the state wide circulation of petitions to increase advisor and his secretary, Shirley Kukuk. monthly subsistence from $65 to $90 for single veterans, and from $90 to $125 for married ones. J. C. contributed over 400 signatures to these petitions. Here at school, the Veterans’ Council has at- tempted to aid veterans with insurance problems. W. R. Harris, contact man from the local V. A. office, visited J. C. on December 4, 5, and 6to personally discuss with any veteran his individual difficulties. A proposal to present J.C. with an appropriate gift of a plaque in memory of the men from Junior College who were killed in the war is one of the major projects of the Council. Also scheduled is their dance to be held at the Midland Country Club sometime in early spring. The guiding hand in the extra-ciricular activities at Junior College is the Social Committee. This com- mittee which has three faculty sponsors, Miss Erma Hodgson, Miss Lola Bishop, and Mr. Adrian Zwemer, is directly responsible to the Student Council. Its aim is not to make money, but to provide entertainment for students and alumni. This year the students who served on the committee were Miss Mary Urban, Chairman; the Misses Ardis Gabbe, Carolyn Thorsen, Patricia Bowman, Patricia Tway, Joan Richardson, and Messrs. Richard Schmidt, Ernest Grzybowski, James White, Robert Johnson, Frederick Fletcher, James Tarter, and Rex Bricker. Social Life at the college started on September 27, when this committee sponsored the annual informal ‘Fall Frolic’, at the Farragut School gymnasium. Co-Chairmen, Mary Urban and Ernest Grzybowski, presided over a drawing during intermission, at which time twelve prizes donated by local merchants were distributed. The next big event was the ‘‘Holiday Hop’’ on December 6 at the Farragut School. Co-Chairmen of this semi-formal dance, sponsored by the Socio-Geo- graphic Club, were Miss JoAlda French and James Conley. Dancing was from nine until one o’clock to the music of Bob Kochanney’s Orchestra. Decorations centered around a large paper mache snowman with the words “‘Holiday Hop’’ in big red letters suspended over his head. In charge of the decorations were Bettie Heath. Jaycee students formally ushered in the Christmas Season at the ‘‘Snow Ball’’, December 20. One of the highlights of the evening was the coronation of the 34 parties. ‘‘Babe In Arms’”’ The Dean brothers doing a double act at one of the J.C. dance.

Her court was composed of Miss Anne Fitzhugh, maid of honor; and the Misses Ardis Gabbe, Joyce Richmond, Patricia Tway, Blanche Lippert, Joan Richardson, Marjorie Mather, and Margaret Guss, members of the court. The queen was escorted to her white and gold taffeta throne by her court and an honor guard. As her escort, Robert Woody, placed a crown of white roses and rhinestones on her head, Orville Carmell’s Or- chestra played ‘‘White Christmas.”’ The consistory baliroom was decorated with Christ- mas trees and tinsel; while each table in the dining room was centered with an arrangement of frosted green candles and pine boughs. During the evening a buffet lunch was served and each feminine guest re- ceived an attractive favor of either a pin or earrings. On April 15, the Geography 22 class gave a tea in honor of Dr. Robert B. Hall, professor of geography at the University of Michigan. Dr. Hall had previously given an address on ‘‘The New Pacific’’ to a Junior College assembly. Good dancing, good music, and a good time was the Slogan of the Engineers’ Dance on April 18 at the Midland Country Club. Jack Taylor was chairman of the informal party which featured the music of Freddie Schaffer and his all girl orchestra. The last event of the year under the direction of Social committee, will be ‘ The Spread’’, June 10, at the Consistory. The theme of the Spread will be the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Junior College and all decorations will be in silver and white. What a crowd to see the helliocopter!
