VV ' e were well repre¬ sented hv our Student Couneil whieh 4 cooperated with the other clubs in Jun¬ ior College and co-sponsored the annual 1 lomecoming Dance. The Social Com¬ mittee, a vital organization in Junior College, planned the barn dances, mi.x- ers, ibrmals, hayrides, and picnics we attended throughout the year. Recently organized, the Illinois Student Educa¬ tion Association, with the coo|x;ration of (he scIkkjIs in the Belleville area, gave us an opjxrrtunity to observe actual classroom teaching. If we studied hard throughout the year and maintained a T3 average we were eligible for admis¬ sion to Bhi Theta Kappa, an honorary scholastic fraternity. The Junior College clioir provided an cxeellent outlet for our singing talents. W ' e on the Dutch¬ man Staff worked constantly to gather and record the events which made this year outstanding for everyone. A graceful bow was given by our queen. Miss Pat Bozsa. 1960 Homecoming Queen, Pat Bozsa, sptonsored by the Engineers Club. Karen Cook Elaine Schneider JoAnn Loeffler Jean Jackson Student Council Lettermcn Choir Phi Theta Kappa reigned at BJC’s 1960 Homecoming Dance. November 26, the Saturday after 7 hanksgiving, marked the date of the annual Homecoming Dance. All day Friday, the Social Committee and Student Council members were busy decorating the school cafeteria with the gold and purple streamers, satin curtains, genic , lamps, and Arabian murals. That evening the nine queen candidates, sponsored by various campus organizations, and their escorts practiced their bows and their approach to the velvet-covered throne in the east end of the cafeteria. On Saturday night, over 250 couples attended and danced to the music of Stan Nelson and his orchestra. The coronation which began at 1 1 was emceed by Mike Scott. Miss Jan Elliot, the fashion narrator, described each girl’s formal as she walked down the long-carpeted path to the music of her favorite song. After the eight maids had entered, the 1960 Homecoming Queen, Miss Pat Bozsa, was announced. Upon arriving at the throne, she made her royal bow and received her crown from Deanna Ratliffe, the retiring queen. After con¬ gratulating the new queen, w e continued dancing until midnight, at w ' hich time Stan Nelson played “At Last,” and we knew ' another 1 lomecoming had come to a close but that it had truly been “A Night to Remember.” Mary Ostermeier Nurses Club Roberta Martin Social Committee Sandy Carter Student Education Assoc.

To get our new co-eds acquainted, to give a feeling of unity to our school, to help everyone enjoy his days at BJC to the fullest: these were the reasons for having social functions. Our first get-together was a mixer with music by Sal Denron s orchestra. The cooK crisp days of October put everyone at JC in the mood for the annual hay- ride held in Oand Marais Park. Our Homecoming Dance, held at Thanksgiving, provided a festive time for the students and a chance for reunion of the old grads as well.

February brought Dan Cupid and a Valen¬ tine Dance at JC. The m(X)d was changed a few ' weeks later when Prof. Herman had everyone s feet flying at a barn dance. The social function w ' hich always reigns supreme is. of course, the prom w ' hich was held in June. 1 he JC prom was the grand finale to a year filled with many memorable social affairs—each one better than the last.

The Social Committee planned our night life. Under the direction of Mr. James Pleasant, the Social Committee worked hard to make JCs various social activities a success. During the Sunday after¬ noon meetings, sub committees were formed and chair- It takes two to tango. men were appointed to take charge of refreshments, programs, greeters, chaperones, decorations and pub¬ licity. Before each dance, Mr. Pleasant and a few members of the committee drove to a St. Louis supply house and chose suitable decorations. The Social 0)m- mittee had long hours, hard work, and no pay except the reward of knowing they had made the Junior College activities more successful. Somebody had to do the hard work.

The east reheased six weeks for the JC Plav. w ' A prominent activity of our college year was the JC play, ' Nude With Violin,” a light comedy in three acts. This witty play by Noel Coward presented the conflicts between friends and relatives anxious about the contents of the will of Paul Sorodin, a brilliant painter. Sebastien, valet and companion of the dead painter, led the action of the play by revealing a startling letter. Interesting characters — a Russian princess, an ex-show girl, and an Immersionalist — sparkled the action of this play. This spicy play attracted a large and enthusiastic crowd which filled the auditorium on Friday, April 7. Rich Clark, Roger Buecher, Suzie Richards, and Nancy Rosenthal lines between acts. An outstanding job of directing was accredited to Mrs. Merle Guthrie and Mr. James Pleasant. Through the efforts of the cast, stage crew, publicity crew, props committee, make-up committee and prompters, “Nude with Violin” was an excellent production. Mr. James Pleasant, the technical director, checked the lights at dress rehearsal. reviewed their r ir- i The selections of the choir brought o Christmas spirit to the school and its students. Assemblies were provided for oiir pleasure. The Junior College assembly, which added in¬ terest and variety to the student life of the school, was one of the ways through which the students and faculty could communicate with each other. All students became acquainted with the various organizations of the college at our first get together in Septeml)er. A representative from each organization gave a brief outline of his organization’s purpose and invited any interested student to join. In Noveml er the Student Council sponsored an assembly to introduce the homecoming queen candi- dates. At that time the students voted on their choice for queen. 1 he results of the balloting were disclosed at the I lomecoming Dance. The choir, under the direction of Miss I lope Baer, presented the annual Christmas and Easter programs. which were the outstanding assemblies of the vear. . At the lx?ginning of the basketball season in No- vember, the cheerleaders sponsored a pep rally at which time Coach Carter introduced the basketball . All in all the assemblies greatly enriched our daily program during the past year. Shorron Race assisted Bob Forhetz os he provided organ music for the Christmas assembly.

We added harmony to our busy schedule. The blending of melodic voices of the music groups under the direction of Miss Hope Baer filled the cor¬ ridors of the cafeteria building every day. With their accompanists, Jackie Neathery and Sharron Race, they arduously rehearsed for their many engagements. The Women’s Sextette, Carolyn Smith, Linda Yager, Karen Cook, Ann O’Leary, JoAnn Loeffler, and Carol Gaffko, made a stun¬ ning appearance in their green weskits and green plaid skirts. Snappy black and gold outfits identified the Men ' s Quartette made up of Mike Meyer, Rich Clark, Dale Marshall and David Tell. 21 Row 1: Jean Jackson, Rich Clark, Judy Weidemann.

The college council members, elected by the student body, served as the important link between the stu¬ dents and the administration. Early last fall, the coun¬ cil budgeted the students ' activity fees and distributed the money to campus organizations. The coronation of the homecoming queen, the Tally-Ho publication and the blood donor program highlighted the council ' s activities. The 1960-61 Council officers were Jean Jackson, vice-president; Richard Clark, president, and seated, Judy Weidemann, secretary-treasurer. 22 ' ■ ' M: Bob Miller casts his ballot while JoAnn Schaefer supervises.

The Dutchman Staff piihlished the yearbook. Now that the yearbook has come off the press, the 1961 Dutchman Staff is able to sit back and enjoy their summer. This past year we have met on Mon¬ day afternoons to work on our assignments. VVTile our editor, Jan Siebert, worried over our deadlines, our business manager, Gary Buettner, kept us in the black. A pleasant surprise w as in store for the staff when our adviser changed her name to Mrs. Harv ey Oelrich. Already, the book has brought back many memories of our past year at BJC and in years to come it will recall many more for us. Dutchman Staff members were (seated I. ta r.) Sharan Thartan, Karen Saul, Annette Ragger, Rabin Carpenter, Danna Sue Wink- elmann, Faye Fults, Nancy Rasenthal, Jan Siebert, Editar, and Mrs. Oelrich, advisar.

PTK Mr. Harold Limper was the sponsor of the national honorary fraternity which met once a month. To be a member of this group a student had to maintain a 3.3 average. This year the organization published a student directory and sold it for 50 cents a copy. The names, addresses, and phone numbers of the Junior College students, faculty members, staff work¬ ers, and school board members were included. On March 12, a program was held in the cafeteria to initiate twenty-eight new members. At the end of the second semester Phi Theta Kappa sponsored an assembly by bringing an interest¬ ing speaker to the Junior College students. We maintained a 3.3 scholastic average.

Hall Chapter of the Illinois Student Education Association, an affiliate of the National Education Association for teachers, was organized this year to encourage students to enter the teaching pro¬ fession and to develop leadership qualities in students contemplating teaching as a career. Any student regis¬ tered in the Education curriculum was eligible for membership. The club members were able to obserxe classroom teaching methods in Belleville Township High School and Union School. Miss LaChance of St. Marj s School was one of the outstanding speakers se- cTired by the program committee to lecture to the group about teaching problems in the modem classroom. The SEA offices were: (left bottom to top) Judy Cal¬ houn, secretary; Jessie Graysan, histarian; Sandy Carter, president.

Sports and eiigiiieeriii clubs interested the men. Striving to further the interest in the field of cn gineering is the primary objective of the Engineers Club. Students taking engineering courses may auto¬ matically join the club. The club ' s banquet in the spring was their main activity. At this time they were entertained by an outstanding speaker in the engi¬ neering field. Sportsminded Junior College students who had earned a varsity letter in athletic competition were represented by the Lettermen s Club under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Jerome Rybicki. Members of the club participated in selling pro¬ grams at basketball games and organizing a faculty basketball game. Members and sponsor of the Lettermen s Club were: (seated) Bob Toenjes, Mr. Rybicki, sponsor, Louis Adams. (Standing) Gary Tegtmeier, Earl Layton, Russ Jowett. 1 The Nurses Club officers (bock row) Ruth Melton, president, and Phyllis Reynolds, treasurer, discuss¬ ed problems with Mrs. Gregory, School of Nursing Secretary, and Leonn Krupp, vice-president. The Nurses Cliih had an active, successful year. Miss Pot Kaiser, BJC‘s Student Nurse of the Year. Now that Belleville Junior College has three classes of student nurses, the Nurses Club has increased its member ship to fifty-five girls. Early in the year the officers were elected and the committees were appointed to find new ways and means of arousing interest. Among the activities in which our student nurses engaged were their Christmas party, fish fry, open house for the parents, and a series of teas at which they recruited high school students into the nursing program. Miss Pat Kaiser was selected to represent Belleville Junior College in the Student Nurse of the Year contest which was held last fall. At the Christmas party, the nursing students gathered around the tree to exchange their gifts. ;4t Cetcc Although the main puq osc of every school is to improve and increase eacfi student’s mental capacity, physical im¬ provement cannot be ignored. Basket¬ ball, baseball, and tennis provided the unity, spirit, and pride that every school must have if it is to continue in a uni¬ fied manner. Of course, we can’t all be star athletes. The five-foot, 115-jx)und student had a very slim chance of ever becoming the star center on the basket¬ ball squad, but he helped his team and his school by attending sports events and r(X)ting for the team. There was a place in BJC’s sports for every student, wheth¬ er we were playing on the team, cheer¬ leading, or just g(KKl old-fashioned yell ing, when the team racked up another paint.

Row 2 (back) Coach Emery Carter, Richard Lickfield, manager. Our Dutchman hall jugglers and hall fumhlers The Belleville players lined up on each side of the basket to wait for the free throw. About the first of November, hopeful prospects for the BJC basketball team began practice sessions under the direction of Coach Emery Carter. After many workouts the squad was cut to only the maximum number of players. Those candidates w ' ho showed the best ability and the greatest desire to play basketball were issued uniforms. The starting lineup for the Dutchmen was: Louis Adams and Ken Wells — guards; Bob Toenjes and Don Keel — forwards; and Bill Tate or Ciary Tcgtmeier — center. In spite of the lack of exjx?rience in working to¬ gether, this year’s team had an interesting and excit¬ ing season starting with two wins against St. Henry’s Seminary and the I lilltoppers. (Xir first defeat of the season came from conference foe, Mt. Vernon, with their 75-73 victory. On December 12, the Belleville squad and cheer¬ leaders traveled to Canton where they w ' ere defeated 61-42. This loss did not bother the Dutchmen, because two days later they traveled to Springfield and won this conference game, 85-76. The Dutchmen attack was led by Ken Wells with 24 points. Bob Toenjes added 16; Don Keel, 14; and Cary Tegtmeier, 13. Mike Wifflich, Jim Snyder, Ralph Rowden, and Don Keel relaxed on the bench during a time-out. Another defeat came to the Dutchmen on December 20 against Centralia. Even with Bob T(x?njes 23 points, the Dutchmen were unable to pull out ahead of the Blue Devils. On December 22, the Dutchmen played against former teammates and defeated the alumni 76-55. The highlight of the season came when the BJC cagers handed the powerful Lincoln club its first defeat by downing them 74-72 in the final two sec¬ onds of the game by a 20-foot jump shot by Louis Adams. Don Keel took scoring honors that night with 26 points. Following the Lincoln victory, the Cartermen hit a 6-game losing streak against the tough Washington Ken Well ' s field goal attempt was blocked by the out¬ stretched arms of three Bears from Washington University, University Bears, Flat River, Canton, a pair of Tour¬ nament games to Centralia and Mt. Vernon, S.I.LI (Alton) and Lincoln. carried us tliroiijjh another exciting season. The Belleville cagers were seen in action on their home floor during ten games this season. They fought, scored, and usually won. Three days later, however, the Dutchmen met Springfield and defeated them, 95-85. This victory was followed by three defeats. The Dutchmen ended their season by beating Flat River, 81 to 69. High scoring honors were captured by Bob Toenjes with 31 1 points. Runner-up to Toenjes was Don Keel with 233. Selected to guard positions on the Illinois Junior College All-Star basketball squad were Bob Toenjes and Louis Adams of the BJC Dutchmen. Don Keel, Bill Tate, and Kenny Wells received honorable men¬ tion. WE TEAM THEY 62 St. I lenry s 48 76 I lilltoppers 59 73 Mt.

Each Wednesday afternoon at three oclock seven of our Junior College girls had an important appoint¬ ment to keep in the Girls ' Gym. They were our BJC cheerleaders — an integral part of the schools athletic program — who are chosen by a committee of teach¬ ers. Each candidate for a position on the squad had to perform a cheer for the judges. Miss Alberta Hamilton, the cheerleaders ' sponsor, gave the girls some new ideas for routines and helped them to perfect their various jumps and formations. The girls participated in all of the home games and tried to attend as many of the out-of-town games as possible. Rather than elect a permanent leader of the group, each girl took her turn at being captain. This system gave each of them an equal opportunity to assume the responsibility of leadership. By their boundless energy, our cheerleaders contributed largely to the enthusiasm felt by the players and the spectators alike. We were proud to have within our school such an outstanding group as the Belleville Junior College cheerleaders. Diane Cotter illustrated a formation to Karen Jung and Elaine Schneider. The candida:es present for baseball tryouts were: Row 1: (front) Jim Davis, Louis Adams, Bob Spilka, Bob Toenjes, Tom Robords, M’ke Koenig, and Dorrel Wingate. Row 2: Coach Emery Carter, Jim Schneider, Ken Friz, Clyde Mac¬ Donald, Bob Hasenstab, Norm Ulrich, Jerry Imming, and Don Cocker. BJC’s prospective Imseball and tennis heroes Even though this Duichmmi went to press at the very start of the baseball and tennis season, we were filled with hope and confidence in the ability of our teams. The players in both sports were seasoned veterans of high school and college competition. VV ith the cheers and rigorous practice of the basketball season still fresh in our memories, we embarked on a new field of adventure which we hoped would prove to be as much fun and as successful as our previous one. Our boys had a difficult time practicing during the first two weeks of scheduled practice because it rained almost every day. But their spirit and enthusiasm couldn ' t be defeated or dampened. Bob Toenjes and Bob Spilka showed up in excellent shape for baseball practice.

At the beginning of the year each of us was faced with the challenge of new and enlightening courses. We were expected to master certain fundamentals. In our rhetoric classes we learned to transcribe notecards into manuscript form for our research papers. As history students we studied the fascinating de¬ tails which make history more than lust a list of dates and events. In our science classes we performed experiments which made us wonder about how life is creat¬ ed. Much of our math study time was spent in getting equations to balance. As art and music students we acquired a greater appreciation of our cultural her¬ itage. Through our affiliation with hos¬ pitals we, as nurses, were humbled when we saw the extent of human suffering. Our knowledge has been extended this year to make this a rewarding year academically. 36 f . ■ i ' ' ' rj ■ ' .iBWl Mr. Dale Van Blair (center) explained his correction marks on the themes of Cordell LaBrier (right) and Larry Wild. English supplied the basis for other studies; (Xir past year at Belleville Junior College has been a very pleasing addition to our educational years. This period has been en¬ joyable because of many things. W e enjoy¬ ed the social activities in which we partici¬ pated and the people we met. Probably the most important phase of Junior College w as the courses we managed to struggle our way through. Ecich department added to our knowledge of the w orld about us. Forming an important part of each stu¬ dent’s education, the English Department, headed by Mr. W illiam Saunders, supplied students with the knowdedge of rhetoric, literature, composition, and speech. This de¬ partment gave JC students the basic infor¬ mation needed for all forms of future en¬ deavor. Headed by Mr. D. C. Edwards, the Science Department w as of prime import¬ ance. Although chemistry unknow ns and various plant structures caused many a w orry and wrinkled brow, students somehow man¬ aged to struggle through. With a strong eye on the future, we strived to reach our goals in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, and z(X)logy. The English Literature class listened attentively ta Mr. William Saunders as he read “The Prelude” by Words¬ worth. 38 science provided many challenges. The Language Department, headed by Miss Marguarite Skaar, proved to be one of the most interesting but difficult for many college students. Young men and women worked towards developing a gcxxl under¬ standing of French, Spanish, and C� erman. Not only did we learn a foreign language, but we also learned a great deal about other lands and customs through these courses. Fine Arts added joy and interest as well as knowledge to many of our lives. The Music Department offered various music courses besides providing a choir and various ensembles. These groups performed at as¬ semblies, in the Music Festival, and toured the local high schools. Under the super i- sion of Miss Marjorie Murray, art students were offered a wide variety of interesting courses, ranging from fundamentals of art to oil painting. Mr. Robert Sforza pointed out the filomentons colony of on oscillo- torio to Tom Robords. Gory Tegtmeier, Bob Heoron ond Goylond Monken run their preliminaries in quantitative analysis. A German poster advertising music in Germany was displayed by Dean Richey and Jerry Turley. Miss Netta Niess, the in- structor looked on. Social Studies, composed of psychology, geography, history ' , sociolc y, and government and headed hv Mr. Alvin Nelxdsick, supplied JC students with numerous interesting subjects that helped to enrich their knowl¬ edge of people and places. The Math Department, headed by Mr. Kenneth L. Pyatt, was of prime importance to many JC stu¬ dents. Composed of various courses in algebra, geom¬ etry, trigonometry ' , calculus, slide rule, and basic math¬ ematics, this department provided the tools we need¬ ed to proceed in many fields. I he Engineering and Drawing departments, sup¬ ervised by Mr. Frank Scott, offered many courses to future engineers and architects. An especially large number of students enrolled and participated in this department this past year. Miss Skarr demonstrated French triangular phonics as Rick Mold, Dorothy McEvilly, and Mary Gassing listened intently. The Business Department, with Mr. Howard Belcher as department head, proved very effective through courses such as business math, finance, short¬ hand, communications, typing, accounting, and per¬ sonnel management. The Nursing Department, under the direction of Miss Clara May Miller, was one of the most special¬ ized departments. Through careful observation and instruction, young women learned proper care for the ill and helpless by actually working in hospitals and gaining experience. This department asked for a great deal of study and determination, but it pro¬ vided the future nurse with pride and satisfaction. Languages provided cultural knowledge. 1 he Physical Education Department, headed by Miss Alberta 1 lamilton and Mr. Clarence Armstrong, gave JC students the physical exercise needed to keep their IxKlies and minds in the best possible condition. A wide variety of activities, from vvTestling for the boys to modern dancing for the girls, was offered. The girls also invaded the Panorama bowling lanes and gamely strived to learn to score correctly. Francis L. Richardson, director of the Evening Di¬ vision, presided over a very important portion of Belleville Junior Qdlege. The Evening Division pro¬ vided educational opportunities for adults who were not able to attend regular day classes. This depart¬ ment offered a large number of courses in many fields. Fine Arts spurred our imaginations Jackie Dean, Connie Kosic, Joan Williams, and Bob Timmons constructed clever paper articles in art class. Industriously creating wire ort objects were Sharon Race, Lynn Strothmann, and Doug Eschra. JoAnn Bloomer placed a record on the phonograph for Miss Baer while Jim Daumueller watched in music appreciation class. Mr. Limper pointed out the location of on African Louis Adams, Donna Winklemonn, Clyde MacDonald, and Carolyn Guet- city to the students in h s geography class. terman examined different kinds of rocks in economic geography class. Social study courses developed our thinking. JC offered a variety of study programs. Students had the opportunity of either obtaining their fresh¬ man and sophomore years at JC and then transferring to a four-year college or enrolling in a two-year ter¬ minal curriculum. Single courses were also offered for those who only wished to improve some facet of their education. In December, an examing committee from the North Central Accrediting AsscK ' iation inspected our college for possible acceptance by this organization. These gentlemen carefully obsei ed and inspected every phase of JC. Each department was thoroughly studied and discussed. Students, teachers, and super¬ visors were questioned and asked their opinions—both favorable and unfavorable—of the college. At the pres¬ ent time, JC is anxiously awaiting their decision.

Pat Kaiser and two student nurses from the Alton Memorial and $•. Joseph’s Hospital examined the in?er-com in the JC School of Nursing. Nursing led to careers. During the past year, Belleville Junior College grew in many ways. As the aetual number of students increased, the courses were broadened and enriched accordingly. JC’s prestige also rose with more citizens taking notice of the college and voicing their approval. Each student, teacher, and department worked to¬ gether to help improve the college in every possible way. Students worked hard to succeed in their cur¬ ricula through study and close observance. Teachers strived to help the students meet their goals more easily. Above all. each department labored to fill everyone’s needs through careful planning, organiza¬ tion, and direction. It was through this close co¬ operation that JC succeeded in its programs and con¬ tinued to improve. Ihis co-operation helped make Belleville Junior College what it is todav — a wonder¬ ful place to learn. Children gazed questionably as Mrs. Phyllis Peters introduced them to Mr. Skeleton. Don Freed laboriously figured out o problem in calculus with the use of a slide rule. Math problems challenged our abilities. Three of Miss Snyder ' s analytical geometry students confer with each other on solving a problem. 45 Miss Pat Spurrier demonstrated how to pass o basketball by throwing it to Mary Koch as other girls heeded the instructions. PE provided a welcome break from our studies. While teaching the fundamentals of tumbling, Mr. Emory Carter lent a helping hand to one of his students. JoAnn Schaeffer jumped with joy as the last pin toppled over for o strike. The wives of many men stationed at Scott Air Force Bose acquired knowledge of the English language by attending Mr. Morgerum’s night class, English for the foreign born. Jim Rostrom gave on informative speech to Miss Ream ' s 4th hour class. All departments stressed academic importance. Physics students checked the supply room for materials needed during the evening division lab. period. Mrs. Guthrie explained the fundamentals of analyzing prose to her oral interpretation class. The capable advice given by the ad¬ ministration started us students in the right direction at the beginning of this scnool year. As the year progressed, our questions concerning our courses were willingly answered by the members of the faculty. Between the hours of ten and one we were able to consume nour¬ ishing meals thanks to our hard-working cafeteria staff. At other times, the stu¬ dents kept the snack bar employees busy. The janitors spent many long hours keeping the campus neat and clean. VVe students were also kept busy with homework and extra-curricular ac¬ tivities. Yes, this year was a successful one in that it brought times for work and times for play to “All of Us.” Dean Kenneth Edwards had a bu schedule with his many conferences and meetings. The office staff included Mr. Denver Logan, registrar; Mr. Vincent Margerum. assistant dean; and Mrs. Grace Lowery, secretary. The administration worked diligently all year. 1 he success of this wonderful year, 1961, was made possible through the efforts of our fine administration. All of us realized how important this group of people was to the sm(x th operation of our school. The members of the Board of Education were: (seated) Roger D. Jones, Miss Ruth Finke, secretary; Norman Stonewater, Mrs. Frances Braswell; (standing) Wilfred Nolle, Dr. Marvin G. Miller, Herbert E. Baum, Leslie A. Driver, and Carl W. Feickert, president. Dr. Don Matthews, superintend¬ ent, was always ready to serve the JC administration from his office in the main building. Jean Aldag R. N.; B. S.; M. S. Ed. iViirsiwg Clarence Armstrong B. Ed., M. A.

Along with work there must be a time for relaxation as evidenced by these members of the faculty and their wives at the Annual Christmas Dance. Mr. Proctor and Miss Kriege made class preparations in the English Department office. 55 The cafeteria staff offered us balanced meals. Members of the cofererio staff were; (seated) E mma Kirsch, Lester Slade, Nellie Ulrich, Caroline Noll, Nancy Schubert, June Ruth Rix, Louise Mueller, Orville Harper, manager; Margaret Scheifer, David Tell, Martha Griebel, Leona Noser, Rose Kricenski, Rohn, Betty Koesterer, Ella Mann, Blanche Tezlaff. (Standing) Anna Gaubatz, Henrietta Kuhn, and Dorothey Thompson. Mrs. Ella Mann prepared pie dough for the dozens of pies which are made daily. . . . Mrs. Margaret Wittauer waited behind her counter of food for the rush during 5th hour lunch. The cafeteria staff, headed by Mr. ()r ille I larpcr, played an important role in the well being of the lunior College students and faculty. Mr. Flarper and his staff planned and prepared each day an unbeliev¬ able amount of appetizing food. At Thanksgiving time we were presented with a delicious turkey dinner which included all the trimmings. We realized that many hours of hard work and concentration had gon .’ into this vital, but never-ending operation, and were glad that we had such a fine group of cafeteria work¬ ers. For our books, pencils, art materials, gym shirts and all other school supplies, we were ably assisted by Mrs. Melba Graf who managed the bookstore most effi¬ ciently. Without her help, it would have been im¬ possible for us to secure the many necessary items we needed. Equally important to the effective operation of JC were the custcxlians. They waged a constant battle against dirt, germs, and grime from early morning until late at night. I he students and faculty both benefitted from the work of these lay employees, and were all grateful for the excellent wavs in which they ser ed our school. 56 Mrs. Melba Graf, who operated the bookstore, was in charge of ordering and selling all books and supplies. Mrs. Graf greeted her bookstore customers with a friendly smile. The lay personnel made our days easier. The school custodians were: Row 7 (seated) Peter Lisch, Emil bert Neumann, Alfred Terry, Ferdinand Seiler, Adam McBride, Gantner, Frieda Guckes, Leroy Wright, and Adolph Dill. Row 2 Phillip Christian, Norman Bruss, and Arthur Vetter. Absent when (standing) Ted Funderburk, chief engineer; Edward Butts, Mer- picture was taken; Mathilda Reinneck, Ben Cook, Emil Boucher, ville Austin, Thomos Erwin, Albert Rapp, Hubert Briesacher, Al- Charles Mitchell, Jacob McCarty and Walter Magin.

Some of our activities will always be re¬ membered, while others will be forgotten. The dances we enjoyed, the games we won (and lost,) the studies we conquered — these are our memories. During the past year, the freshmen have become college men and women. For the sophomores, it has been a stepping stone from the old, toward new horizons. The fun, the frolic, and the friendships of this past school term have made this year most memorable for all of us who were a part of it. June graduates, Eldon Winker and Judy Calhoun, proudly displayed their caps and gowns. 1 I -if
