Throughout the year the Col- legiate has shown remarkable stability and a reguarity that signihes a hne spirit of coop' eration between members of the staff and the student body. The aim has been to issue a publication each week during the two semesters, and to publish each issue in the best literary form possible. The members of the staff have been very prominent throughout the activities of the school year and have come to the college highly recommended by the various high schools of the vicinity. John Luyendyk, the Business Manager, was a' graduate of Union High School. To him junior College is indebted for the supply of Collegiate advertisements and for the financial gains of the term. Leon Pennington who was editor for the first semester, was a graduate of Sparta High School. Robert Jameson, successor to Mr. Pennington, was a graduf ate of East Grand Rapids High School, where he was editor of their annual. Eva Hesling, the Associate editor for the second semester, was a graduate of Union High School and a former editor of the Unionite. These people, with the remaining members of the staff, made the Collegiate a successful newspaper. The publication bas been greatly aided by the kind cooperation of various members of the faculty. Chief among these was Mr. Arthur A. Andrews, who has given to the staff much time and energy, and Mr. Clarence Meyer of the English Department, who has greatly aided as official adviser. The staff wishes to acknowledge with gratitude the above. 3 T Q-' t 7' . W , .

Earlier Austin Milrlrml Bidleman Viln I:Il,n:rlnu'rl Lois Fell Ellen lliglmc Helen Jessup Betty Stillman , Q THE CANDLE PIN AWARD 1? 'l kv, Among the well established traditions of Junior College is the Candle Pin Award, 1 W' For nine years those second year girls taking strictly academic work, whose scholar' ' ship gives them hrst rank, have been singled out by the Michigan Alumnae of Grand Rapids to rec-eive the Candle Pin. One wonders why the candle should be used as a symbol for excellence of scholarship until one learns more of the tradition. This is centered about a handwrought candle, made and preserved by some provident housewife more than a century ago. This tangible' evidence of woman's care to provide light for her husband and children when the hours of labor were over, that they might pursue ends intellectual and spiritual, is a fitting symbol of that role which woman herself has always played in striving to be a help and guiding light in times when dark- ness gathers around the spirits of her household. This symbol has been adopted by the Michi' gan women to represent that light of knowledge which they have received from their Foster Mother, the great University of Michigan, and which they strive to keep burning, and to pass on to the young women of Junior College. One can see, then, the reason for the symbol and the motive behind the impressive ritual with which the Candle Pin Award is made each spring. ' Wlmile in the first years of the tradition only one girl was made Warder of the Light, recently, as the number of sophomore girls has increased, the number of recipients of the Can' dle Pin has also increased until this year, on March 24, the Candle Pin was awarded to the scvcn academic girls ranking highest in scholarship. 5 V . l59l

THE COLLEGIATE HEN in the future one feels prompted to review the history of the Junior College Collegiate, one will discover that the success of the year 1927-28 stands out above all previous years. Journalistically and financially, no previous stall: had enjoyed such marked prestige. At the base of that success functioned a highly organized and ellicient staff of men and women who devoted their best efforts to the making of a worthwhile publication. Together with this student enthusiasm was the strenuous efforts of Mr. Andrews and Mr. Meyer to make the Junior College Newspaper a center of the college life. Knowing this, one no longer marvels at how such could be accomplished, but realizes that the stall' of '28 was an industrious group guided by competent advisers. During the year of 192'7f28 the full quota of twenty issues was published. The papers were given free to the students, the paper being financed solely by advertisements. Besides being able to finance thc publication of the paper, there was also set aside a sinking fund of six hundred dollars, which it was hoped would assure the college of a newspaper in years to come.
