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 .

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?

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
