This 'year the band really underwent a change, and as a result it was brought into the limelight most of the year. In the spring, on March 27, to be exact, the band and choir joined forces to present the best musical concert that has been presented in the past several years. The choir sang four numbers, and the band took care of the rest of the program. The soloist, Dona-Jean Pal- matier, also sang with the band. The band Was under the very able direction of Mr. George Davis, who made the successful year 'Ji the band possible. To him, a great share of the credit is due and we are proud to have had him with us. Another famous part of the band is the Trumpet Trio, which is also pictured. Row 1: B. Vander Heide, C. White, J.

The biggest event of the year was the Engineers' Ball which was held on March 14. The dance was under the chairmanship of Shirley Blake, treasurer of the club. Special lighting and decorations added to the effectiveness of the Shirley Blake, an engineer, shows Gerald Dykema just how to dance and helped to make It one of the most figure out that drawing - or is it vice-versa?

In the fall the club made a trip to the new Diesel Equipment Division, which is part of the General Motors Corporation. These engineering students meet together to study all the practical applications of the subjects which they are studying. The club is under the advisership of Mr.iJames Shew, who is also the instructor that sees the engineers through their courses of calculus. These engineers have set a very high goal before them, and there are still years of study before them when they have com- pleted their worlc at Junior College. But that goal will be attained some day, and these students will then remember the start they got here at Junior College. Hilarides, S. Bfake, Mr. Shew, M. Caminer, R. Bullock, J. Huftard. D.

Its activities are watched by men and women throughout the city. Throughout each month of the year the club has given teas, which are planned by the various groups. On December 13, the League held its Christmas Banquet at East Congregational Church. The tables were gayly decorated by the leaders and members of the twelve groups. In February the Dogpatch Party was held in the gymnasium of the Junior College building. A bridge for the girls of the school was the topic LEAGUE for the social field in March, and in May the League was host to Rudolph Ganz, the pianist, at a coffee. This spring the League put on its annual tea for all the high school senior girls who are inter- ested in Junior College. This year the League gave a Mother-Daughter Banquet in the latter part of May. On May 16, the League presented its annual spring formal. The groups of the League held their meetings on the second Tuesday of every month in the home of either the group leader or her assistant, or of one of the girls. Through her group, each girl of the League helped to raise money in sev- eral different ways. Some groups sold J.C. stickers, others gave noon dances, while still others had baked goods sales and paddle-pop sales. The groups working together with their officers, and with the advice of Miss McCabe really added a year of history to the story of the Women's League of the Grand Rapids Junior College. i Miss McCabe, our adviser, who has done t. 1+ 1' K, v a the utmost for us. if it ie' r F X gil--I Sally, our president, a maid of grace and complete majesty , WOMEN'S LEAGUE GROUP LEADERS: Row 1: M.

Those are some of the commands that came from the lips of Mr. Donald Armstrong, who is supervisor of music in the public schools, and who finds time to come to Junior College to direct our choir. We love to sing for him. On Thursday, March 27, the choir gave its addi- tion to the Band Concert in the person of Dona- Jean Palmatier, who was the soloist for the eve- ning. During spring vacation, the choir performed under Noble Cain, who came to direct the one thousand voice choir of high school students. The choir is very sure that they will never forget the night that they sang under the great Noble Cain. During the Christmas season, the choir prac- ticed diligently ior their part in the Christmas program of the school. Many social events for the choir were held and this spring they had a big picnic to celebrate the end of a successful year of singing together. The choir also has officers.

On March 17, the Men's Union sponsored the Father-Son Banquet, which was held at Fountain Street Baptist Church. The master of ceremonies was Hugh Allen and Joe Weber gave the toasts to the fathers. A menu of Swiss steak and cherry pie was enjoyed by all, and the men's, quartet added enjoyment to the evening with several good numbers. The main speaker of the evening was Walter Weber, who is a line coach from the University of Michigan. A hearty discussion of football techniques followed Mr. Weber's speech and movies of some of Michigan's best games were shown. All this added together made an evening that will long be remembered by all who attended the banquet. In the spring the Men's Union also put on a formal dance with Ralph Weigle's Orchestra. Mr. Storr is the adviser for the Men's Union. The Men's Union is very proud and also secre- tive about those rooms of theirs down in the base- ment of the Junior College building.

Barbara Beelby Deep in the hearts of all of the members of the Student Council is their hope and plan for the new Memorial Campus, where the students and faculty can spend their lunch hours and those few precious minutes between classes. Because of the time and effort spent by Mr. Andrews and several other members of the faculty and student body much of the money has been raised for the campus and the lot on which we will place our dream of the future has been obtained. Many of the organizations of the school have joined in the effort to raise the needed funds. On December 6 and 7 the Student Council and the campus committee put on the Holiday Whirl, which was an evening of fun and entertainment. An evening of songs and skits was presented, and an enjoyable evening was had by all. All the returns from the cost of the tickets were turned over to the campus fund. Blueprints for the Memorial Campus were dis- played in the showcase on the second floor where all students were able to look at them. In the spring the Student Council gave their annual formal dance. The council has also been looking over a new constitution for themselves and they hope to have a new and better one laid out for next year's council.

Q w l P FOOTBALL This year as in the previous post-war years, it seemed as though Junior College would be with- out a football team. Two problems confronted the school. The first was one of coaching and the second concerned uniforms. At last 'word came through that our former coach was being dis- charged from the Navy. Mr. Steele returned to JC and solved the second problem with the aid of the University of Michigan who donated the uniforms for fall use. Coach Steele was assisted by John Regeczi and Dale Turner this year. At the very first practice a large turnout appeared, The first game was played in the latter part of September with the U. of M.'s B-team. This game was played after only two Weeks of prac- tice, so the boys really had to put their teeth to the grid stone to get in condition and learn their plays. The unprepared Raiders lost this one 39-0. Hope College next rolled over us to the tune of 20-O. The Hilltoppers from Junior could hardly match the power of the great MIAA conference leaders. With two losses the Raiders roared back to defeat Western Michigan-B 12-O. The score- K E V- , .-fx.-.1 f 5 ..- -- .b 3 1- , ... ', 1+ 'ah , ,Y 4 I .k..,,, L. 1-If t r .

Burt Helder, Hen Hausser, and Burt Brown were used consistently in the backfield. Brown could usually be depended upon to pick up a gain and in the Central Michigan game he proved to be the spark which won the game. Klapp was outstand- ing at the center spot, while Art Lindquist proved his versatility by showing up well at most any spot. His backfield action was especially com- mended by the coaches. The second Central Michigan-B game was hard fought and the local eleven again ended with the high score on the scoreboard. A newly revived and powerful machine presented itself from Western Michigan-B. This time their eleven won out 19-6. This marked the ending of the gridiron cam- paign. The final record stood at three wins and three losses. We may consider this an excellent record considering the many difficulties pre- sented. The Raiders had the fight of a champion- ship team.

BASKETBALL Under the able leadership of Coach Russ Waters the Grand Rapids Junior College Raiders met a tough schedule and came through with a final record of 10 wins and 10 losses. Waters, who took over as coach this year in Gil Powers' place stated, The team made a good showing and played some excellent ball throughout the season. The opening game with Hope College found the Raiders on the lower half of a 62-34 count but they turned the tables on the next tilt with Dearborn at the local gym to the tune of 61-35. Hope's second encounter with the Raiders was closely contested with the Dutchmen pulling ahead in the last few moments. The final score was 53-39. However this loss was avenged at the hands of Aquinas College. The Blue Raiders from JC were victorious 64-38. During these games Coach Waters used two separate line-ups. Both the first and the second string were used extensively. The two former Ottawa High Jims, Montgomery and Horn, were the high scorers. In the Bay City battle the boys from Bay City led at the half by a count of 33-25, but Mont- gomery again got hot to score 12 points and defeat Coach Palmers boys 56-36. The Muskegon en- counter was a hard one to lose. After leading throughout most of the game, the Raiders were overcome and beaten 41-34. This hard fought game, lost, made the Junior C's twice as spirited and they took the Port Huron five 59-39. Both of the following games proved thrillers and can easily be counted as highlights of the season even though both were losses. The first with Calvin ended 49-47. The Flint encounter was hotly con- tested. It was a close count, being 53-52. The Raiders ended this, the first semester, with five wins and six losses. Horn was high point man at this time with 105 points. could easily have changed the final record of the SECOND SEMESTER BASKETBALL The opening of the second semester found Junior College minus the aid of five of the former men. However, A1 Lehman, a boy from Idaho was added to the team and helped in lessening the blow. The Hilltoppers from Junior started with some fancy ballplaying by taking the first three games. Highland Park was defeated 51-46. Dearborn and Aquinas were each beaten a second time. These scores were 46-44 and 59-30 respectively. One of the Bay City boys dropped in a free throw in the last ten seconds of play in the fourth tilt and led off the Bay City quintet with a 45-44 score. The next evening Junior avenged its earlier defeat by winning over Flint JC, 51-46. Alex Martin starred in this game with 16 points. Calvin proved too much for the JC quintet once more. On the On a week-end trip to the eastern part of the state JC played Port Huron and Jackson. The first game was a victory for Port Huron 51-50. But the second evening the locals ended up on the long end of a 59-58 count. The last tilt of the year with Muskegon found the Muskies once more on the high side of the scoreboard, 34-37. High point man for the season was Jerry Haan with 140 points. He was closely followed by Olson with 128 and Horn with 127. Jimmy Horn played good ball consistently but was on the sick list for some time, The Junior College five played six games against four-year colleges. One point decided the count in three JC games and three points in seven of the others. We can see that a change in fortune Burton floor they whipped our boys 55-38. JC quintet.

H. Geurkink had one of the brightest prospects in 'years for a victorious 1947 golf team. The team was chosen by an elimination process in which the winners played the winners of their coupled groups. Being cut down to eight men it included Miller, Zylstra, Helm, Scruba, Stracotenko, Hula, Rooney, and Wall. Early competition was very stiff for number one position. Zylstra, Miller, and Helm were low scorers in the first matches. The Raiders had a fifteen game schedule which included seven home games and seven trips with a tournament meet at Port Huron. As the team stood early in the season its record of four Wins and no losses was impressive. These scores were Alma IIV2-6V2, Central Michigan 9V2-BV2, Calvin 11-1, and Muskegon .l.C. 12-0. 58 't 'l . .jf 1 , .ful TENNIS Early in the year, even before the first snow had fallen, Coach Elbert Veenboer called the varsity tennis team practice. Throughout the long winter the mem- bers of the team industriously set about rounding into condition. Their efforts were well rewarded with victories in the first matches. From an unusually large turnout, Mr. Veenboer narrowed the team to eight men. The first three, Alex Martin, Ken Kimble, and John Hesse, were of such even calibre that their positions showed frequent Changes. The other five showed much promise and were instrumental in the first matches. This year marks the thirteenth year of coaching at Junior by Mr. Veenboer, during which time he has produced many outstanding tennis teams. The Raiders lost their first match with Calvin 5-4. The next three were victories over Alma O-8, Hope 4-5, and Central Michigan 4-5. 59 W itfit l if it if 1 ,, Www if flu . ., is it if 's 5 1 'Q '. if Upper left The keyblone combma tion Shaver and Hibbert Upper Center First Baseman Stewart warms his hands waitmg his tum at bat Upper ugh!

Lack of equip- ment was a big problem and added to it was the need for a practicing and playing field. To top it all off the weather was most unpredictable and caused a late start for practicing. From a huge original turnout of fifty-five men, the team was narrowed to a nucleus of tryouts consisting of 20 men. When questioned about the team early in the season Mr. Waters stated, This year's team lacks experience. The hitting has been impotent but is sure to improve as the season gets under Way. The team had a large turnout for the pitching staff. Counted among the candidates were Jim Butler, Norman Woodstra, Bob Heena, and Joe Volmer. Butler was heavily depended upon for mound duty. Hen Hausser and Nick Wehrman divided the catching duties. Hard-hitting Stewart Myers played first base for the Raiders. The key- stone sack was defended by Bob Taylor, Bill Hibbert, and Jack Schaver. Hibbert played second and Schaver was short-stop, while Taylor alternated between the two spots. Coach Waters had a difficult choice for third base. Simmons and Bob Zaremba both showed excellent ability. Pete Kramer, capable at most positions, was used as utility infielder. From the turnout for outfield positions J. Lapley, Neil Slagter, Tom Ohland, and Harold Mitchell seemed most prominent. They showed a better than average hitting ability. At the time of the Olympian deadline the base- ball team had lost one game to Calvin College by the score of 4-3. This was a heart breaker for .lim Butler who pitched a great game only to lose out through a cluster of errors. A greater loss to the team was that Butler might not be able to continue the season because of a sore arm incurred while pitching the Calvin game. Lapely, Myers and Simmons did the best hitting in this game. f ,- 4 l First raw: Kreng, Cain, Chase, Smith, Lessa, Boyn- ton.

TRACK When frost was on the ground and snow flurries still in the air, JC's thinclads could be heard thumping their way into condition on the hardwoods of the East Building. Inconsistent weather was the hampering factor this spring. The Raiders traveled to Kalamazoo to stage their first meet with Western Michi- gan. JC garnered 34 points to Western's 96. This meet demonstrated Jack lilap's ability in the field events, however, for he was high point man with 13 points. Hlap broke the school shot-put record with a heave of 41' 10 . In the second meet Hope was beaten 72-59. Kiselewski's ability in the hurdles and high-jumping enabled him to be high man with 13 points. Posthumus was a dual winner, taking the mile and the two-mile races. Miller was impressive throughout the season in the century while Foster was the mainstay in the broad jump.

All through the fall and winter, Elbert Veenboer, Junior Col- lege's able and competent coach, worked with the girls' tennis team in the gym. There was an unusually large turnout this year with a number of hopeful prospects. The top four girls from last year's team returned again this year. They are Betty Barnaby, Loraine Anderson, Carol Frazier, and Glenna Moore. Enthusiasm was high this spring, and the girls were smashing the overheads and drives with vicious strokes.

Twice a week the girls meet to learn and enjoy the game of their choice. Badminton seems to fascinate .laysee girls and is a game of great speed and skill. Of course, archery holds its usual attraction, and many of the girls become tops before the end of the semester. Rhythm is another favorite of the girls at laysee. Those who join are particularly interested in achieving grace and poise, but fun and good exercise is found in country dancing. Many a would-be tennis champion is a great enthusiast of paddle-tennis, which is the foundation of tennis. The girls certainly show their stuff in the volley ball classes. These sports really give the muscles a workout. Heep it up, girls!

UNE, 1947, for some, means the end of college days and the beginning of a new life, and for others it is only the two-year mark in a college career. Whatever their position, however, the Sophs will have one thing in common - a year of good times. With the election of class officers in the fall, the Sophomore Class was officially launched. Those chosen were: President, Gerrit Velders, Vice- President, A1 Brown, Secretary, Eleanor Hook, and Treasurer, Charles Hoppe. The Class found Christmas spirit, complete with Santa Claus, at the Yuletide Mixer held in St. Marks Church. Entertainment was provided by our Master of Ceremonies, Reverend Dale Turner, and the whole class singing our favorite Christ- mas carols. In March the Class turned back the clock and sponsored an old-fashioned Box Social. The girls responded with elaborately decorated boxes and good eats, while the boys bid for the prettiest 73 boxes and the prettiest girl. The climax was a bid by that man-about-J. C., Jack Ripstra, when he bid 5.63 and a car check! After being well fed, everyone square-danced to the calls of do se do , and alamond left. lt was definitely a night to be remembered! In April, the Class ushered in the Spring with the Spring Swing, an all-school dance. May brought the annual picnic-complete with gen- erous portions of fun and food. lt was then time for the more serious part of the Sophomore year. In the Honor Convocation the newly-elected mem- bers in Delta Pi Alpha Honor Society were named. Graduation was brought sharply into focus in June at the Baccalaureate Services. The Honor Society members were guests at the annual dinner sponsored by the Sophomore Class. The Formal Commencement exercises brought a close to the year - a year of memories and friend- ships we will all be able to recall for the rest of our lives. If 4.

Those voted into office were Jack Hultman, president, John Braley, vice-president, Ben De Groot, treasurer, and Carol Marquardt, secretary, with Miss Hrumheuer and Miss Ander- son as class advisers. On Friday, February 14, a Valentine dance, the Sweetheart Swing, was presented by the Freshman Class. With Sue Shera and John Steketee as co- chairmen, the dance featuring Ray Bush and his orchestra was a success. The Freshman Class presented a giit of money to the Memorial Campus Fund for the purchase of nineteen sandstone benches for the campus. The class also gave to the Freshman Scholarship Fund and to the Olympian. This money was the pro- ceeds of the class dues and of the dance. To round out the year, the Freshman Class planned a class picnic to be held in the spring.
