I PRESE TI THE IC. EOE THE STUDENT BODY OF THE JOLTET JUNIOR COLLEGE AT JQLTET, ILLINOIS 1937 N1 THE ANNUAL YEAR BOOK VOL. V TI-IE AUTUMN MISS CHRISTINE E. BUNCI-I The student lioily owes :i delit of gratitude tu Xliss Christine Bunch, for the responsibility ot' producing the -lunior College year-hoolc rests upon her capable shoulders. She has lieen sponsor ever since the first hook was published in 1933. Few people realize the tremendous lahot' expended in the publication of an annual. The work on the hook commences almost inunediately after school hegins in Septemlmer and continues unceasingly until the close. Miss Bunch is the active supervisor tliroughout the year. The liurden of organizing and unify- ing the various divisions of the book, which have heen worked out by different students. lies with the sponsor, who has undertaken her duties cheerfully, and we should consider ourselves fortunate to have a pilot at the helm who is just as successful in had times as good. That Miss Punch has been extremely successful in this capacity is evidenced by the rating which the hook received last year. The 1936 annual was one of the few books given a First Class I-Ionor Rating by the National Scholastic Press Associationg and if the present book surpassed this, it would not be at all surprising.

The j.C. of 1937 Page Six Thej.C. of 1937 Page Seven ADMINISTRATION Dr. VV. NV. Haggard, superintendent of ul. T. H. S. and J. bl. C., received his bachelor's degree from Maryville college, his M, A. from the University of Michi- gan, and his Ph. D. from the University of Chicago. He likes to play golf, to take automobile trips, and to read his- tory, economics, an occasional novel, and the current magazines that stress politics and social problems. Dr. Haggard also enjoys his daily one-and-a-half mile walk to school. Mr. Ira D. Yaggy, well-liked College Dean, received his masters degree from the University of Chicago. He was elected president of the Illinois junior College Conference and also holds the position of vice-president of the Uni- versity of Illinois Teachers' Conference. He is fond of flowers, and gardening is a much enjoyed summer diversion for him. IXIiss Myra Mather, beloved dean of lkiomen, received her master's degree from the University of Illinois. She also attended the University of llerlin, Ger- many, for a year. She enjoys traveling. reading, and attending the theatre. Miss Pauline Ilillman, college libra- rian, has attended the University of llli- nois. She is interested in her work and has written articles that appear in the 'Iunior College Journal. This year she has devoted much time to a comprehen- sive study of library equipment and ar- rangement, in view of remodeling the present library. Grace S-tadler, secretary to Dean Yaggy, was graduated from the Ioliet -lunior College. She is a loyal supporter of and an enthusiastic participant in many student activities. TI-IE STUDENT COUNCIL NVith a firm conviction that some- thing was going to be done this year. the student council went to work in earnest, and really made some note- worthy accomplishments. The reins of administration were in the hands of Norman Iflitterman, presi- dent, assisted by Helen Kelly, vice-pres- ident, with Henry Luccock transcribing all transactions. Mr. R. L. Ifrisbie was the faculty guiding hand. A Booster Board was established in order to give publicity to all college af- fairs, so that not only would collegians know what was going on in the school, but the public would also be well in- formed. The Booster I-loard helped any bewildered publicity committee in mak- ing smooth connections for newspaper and radio notices. Because the present council constitu- tion had beconie out-moded and was not adaptable to the best interests of the college, a new one was adopted. Its out- standing features provided for a more equal representation of the students in the council, fairer election laws to govern student elections, and a better means of checking expenditures from the student activity tees. In sponsoring school dances, the usual practice was to appoint one council meni- ber as dance chairman and give him power to choose his own committee from outside the council. XYith this plan the council not only had more time to dis- cuss other problems, but more students were given the chance to help with school dances.

The j.C. of 1937 The JC. of 1937 Page Fifteen Tl-IE EYES The Eyes of Tlalocf' a three-act mystery comedy by Agnes Emelie Peter- son, was the play chosen and enacted by the college students this year. The action took place in john XYayne's ranch house in Southern California, where a large and vivid mitral painting of the Aztec god, Tlaloc, hung. The malicious eyes of the hideous creature gleamed through the shadows. Outside, an equi- noctial storm raged with wind, rain, and lightning. Amanda and Ezra, furtive old caretakers of the place, admitted one after another of the strange group of people who enacted the drama within the walls of the mysterious house. lt of- fered fascinating characterizations, an engrossing plot, good comedy, and mys- tery of an unusual nature. Miss Lena Dickinson's line directing and capable leadership was again evident LE CERCLE The French Club was faced with the problem of reorganization last fall. Des- perately they tried to get information from other foreign language club mem- bers. A ray of hope presented itself in the Northern lllinois .lunior College Conference held at Morton, to which one delegate was sent to glean all the infor- mation possible. lloth meetings in the fall were postponed. By that time things were beginning to look very dark. However, during the winter months. opportunity to start over again presented itself. A request was made for a play on Language Night for the College Club. Pershing llurgard and Henry Luccock were enlisted for the writing of a one- act comedy. Lois lfiitterman and Ernest Lunclin sang a classical song. Melvin VVitkin, Mary Cattaneo, Bill Hansen, Ed Rosentreter, Marjorie Knight, Cath- erine Haller, and Henry Luccock sup- OE TLALOC' in this splendid production, and the students played their parts like veterans.

The VIC. of 1937 Page Eighteen Thej C of 1937 JUNIGR COLLEGE CHAMBER GF COMMERCE A Junior College Chamber of Com- merce was formed with the aid of Miss Fidelia Van Antwerp, instructor, and Mr. C. Kellem of the Joliet Chamber of Commerce by the college business letter writing class, which did something constructive and different in the way of organizations this year. Chief among the activities of this group were its trip through the Ameri- can Institute of Laundry, and its exhibit in the show windows in the commercial department hall. The class listed the industries, transportation facilities, and educational institutions in Joliet, which members of the class visited and asked for samples or literature for the exhibit. The industries cooperated very well, and the exhibits included everything from three-color advertising by Brewster's, to tiny sample loaves of Rainbo bread. The display comprised three sections: transportation, education, and industry. Among the interesting industrial exhibits were: a wall paper sample book repre- senting' the various wall paper millsg a display from the American Can company, including cans ranging from catsup and spice containers to salt packages with tin spouts, and a number of can covers with special openings: packaged coal and large lumps of coalg a steel works exhibit Q and parts from Moore Brothers gas stoves. The transportation group included sev- eral interesting maps showing 'loliet's train service, bus lines, and highways, and illustrated literature from several of the railroads. The educational exhibit displayed lit- erature and pictures from the various schools, and a copy of last summer's Centennial Edition of the Joliet Herald- News. Robert Hann was elected chairman and Alice Nethery, Ray XYatson, and Albert Shutten comprised the publicity committee. T1-its J. C.

As each department reached the crisis in its affairs it was given help by members of other departments not so severely pressed at that time. If it had not been for this fine coop- eration shown by various members of the staff, the annual could not have been so successfully completed. Besides the many pressing duties con- cerned in the publication of the year- book, the staff undertook some other projects in connection with their work. The first of these was an assembly at which a skit, written by Dorothy john- Art Department-Phyllis .-Xnderson, William Hansen, I-lleanor Robertson, Helen Slussen Make-up Department-Eileen Rodgers, Dorothy Johnston Circulation-Orrin Long, Erwin McGoveny, Jann-s K.

For this pur- pose, pledge cards were distributed to the collegians at the close of the program. Another undertaking was carried out on April 6. This time they drew on outside talent, their object being to se- cure funds to help finance the produc- tion. lXlr. Staples, a magician, and his company of pet monkeys, guinea pigs, and rabbits were the guest performers for a large audience, which netted the staff a profit of 362. M lhroughout the year, there was also conducted a sales campaign which re- sulted in approximately 200 paid sub- scriptions out of a possible 300.

The VIC. of 1937 Page T ' iumzfg Thej C of1937 THE MENS RIFLE CLUB The first men's ride club in the history of this institution was formed last year, April, 1936, by a group of twenty-odd fellows. Mr. H. D. Grose, teacher, an expert rifieman who helped organize the famous Vloliet Rifle Club, was chosen sponsor. James B. Egan was instrumental in bringing the club into existence. The organization decided that it could dispense with having officers and none were elected. Each member purchases his own ammunition, and the guns and use of the range are furnished by the school. Most of the members had to learn target shooting from the ground up as it differs greatly from field shooting. Under Mr. Grose's expert tutelage this was accomplished, and some of the members became quite expert in punch- ing holes in the ten ring. With the commencing of school in September, the club immediately re- sumed activities. Mr. Grose did not feel equal to the joh of sponsoring the group. so Mr. L. B. Aseltine, another expert rideman, became the new sponsor. The club has met every Thursday eve- ning on the school range, and although no matches have been arranged at the time of this writing, it is expected that there will be a few before the semester is finished. At a recent meeting, the scores ran as follows: Freckleton, 131: llr. .-Xseltine, 171 : Egan, 160: Lundquist, 160: Arthurs 153: Sanclstrom, 1533 Mason. 150: and Steinquist, 168. All through the year lireckleton, Steinduist. and Mr. Aseltine have been consistent high scorers. Earlier in the season, when Sid Peterson was still attending school, he too, was a per- sistently high scorer. At one time he se- cured the use of the National Guard range for the club, but due to the trouble of transporting the guns, mats, etc., over there and back to the school. the organ- ization decided to resume shooting on the school range. Other members not in the picture in- clude Arthurs. Mason. Sandretto, Lund- ouist. and Cron. NQGN-DAY BASKETBALL The noon-day bashctball league was composed of four teams captained by Fred Patterson. Gordon Argyle, Bob Corcoran, and Ray McGrath. Each team played seven games, most of which were bitterly fought and won or lost by a close score.

I. C. is the XV. A. A., and these tive women are its mainstay. These, with the cooperation of the members, are respon- sible for the introduction of badminton and the sport nights which both girls and boys, young and old, enjoyed so much. Do Chalstrom is president, and it was her splendid leadership that gave the club so much pep and enthusiasm. Amiable Mary Ellen Seamans is the club's vice-president and chief adviser. If you want something original and dif- ferent, ask Mary Ellen, for she is always willing. For that added touch of femi- ninity or just that bit of color, petite Phyllis Anderson is always called on, as she is the club secretary and artist. The girl who goes out for every sport and excels in all of them is Yirginia Lindblad, who is the head of sports. Mrs. Kirby needs no introduction, for she is well known in J. -I. C. and is held dearly in the hearts of all collegians. These otihcers served as the central committee for most of the important events of the XY. A. A. year. Important projects, besides regular sports activities, were the fall Harvest Moon dance. specialty numbers in the inter-class meet. tirst co-educational sports night, Canine Sports Day. and the annual Mother and llaughter lianquet. For harder workers, better planners and organizers you will have to go far. To these tive we do homage, for they made the year '36 and '37 a grand success for the XY. A. AX.

AUTUMN SPQRTS SHUFFLEBOARD Shulitleboard was a game especially adapted to tournament play, and the XY. A. A. girls took advantage of this. A ladder tournament, with the girls playing in couples, was held in the fall. ln the second semester a doubles elimina- tion tournament was played. Eighteen girls took part in this sport. Play was on three courts in the girls' small gym, after school and during free periods. HQCKEY Bully, dribble, pass: and down the held they go for one of the most exciting outdoor games. Hockey, the first fall sport, had a very thrilling and successful season. The weather was perfect and the I. ul. C. co-eds held their own with the high school teams, ending the season with a tie between the Seniors and for the championship. BASKETBALL Center throw-in is one of the fea- tures of girls' rules which was intro- duced this year in Vlaycee basketball for girls. It eliminated the center jump, and resulted in the more even matching of the lYolverettes and XYolverines, cap- tained by Virginia Lindblad and Georgia Perry, respectively. The varsity, com- posed of ten girls chosen from the two teams, won the championship for J. C. and gl. T. H. S. llADlXIlNTON Badminton was a very popular sport offered by the XV. A. A. this year for the first time. The boys as well as the girls were fascinated by the battling way the bird, or shuttlecock, lloated and dipped. A mixed doubles tournament was played with fourteen couples taking part. It was a roundfrobin tournament with each couple playing six games.

Flighty, shallow-minded girl, to demonstrate the injustice of your charges I have composed a diary -for surely one never knew an unromantic diary-keeper. In order to make this record of consequential events immediatelly available, I have undertaken some exhaustive research, covering events of the past year. I enclose the project herewith. Devotedly, Percival Eustace. TI-IE DIARY OF PERCIVAL EUSTACE BRAINTANTRUM Dear Diary: A tattered piece of newspaper, dated, September 14, supporting one leg of my lop-sided desk, carries the headline, Hi Schoo and junior Colle Beg Today. .Iane I3rennan's Iliary affirms that on September Z2 Patrick McFarland was elected President of College Chrb. Before I was ejected from the lllazer oftice for being an infernal pest, I noticed a headline in the First issue of the Blazer dated September 25: College Slipper Mixer Tonight. GCTOBER Another item in the second issue stated that on October 2 Henry Luccock was elected president of the sophomore class and George Hellman, on Octo- ber o, president of the freshman class. Vllith an abusive warning that it would be inexpedient for me ever again to mention the third of Qctober, an uncouth freshman dislodged two of my canines and sent them on a tempestuous intestinal journey. I conclude that this was the day the sophomores made thirty home-runs to the fresh- men's twelve in their annual football game. Miss Mather sympathetically directed me to her desk calendar, which I found very interesting. In fact, I became so engrossed that I was oblivious to her presence until I found my head jammed between the legs of ex- president Lincoln. That is not my calendar, she puffed, kicking me violently. That is my diary. tAnyway, the Blazer Iligskin Mixer was on September 23.3 How could I forget that Fred Patterson's team made the most touch- downs in the Noon-day League Basketball Tournament, which terminated October 29? Not students, but teachers, infested the building on October 30, and I must say that their conduct was reprehensible. I spent the day in a quiet study hall, resolved not to be at party to the folly of teachers' institutes. Dagc Twenty-sczfcii NOVEMBER Looking about me cautiously, I seated myself at her desk, and turned to November 0 in her interesting calendar. I saw a comment about another teachers' institute and the XY. A. A, Harvest Moon Strut, and then saw that my head was jammed between the llegs of ex-president Lincoln and heard Miss Mather telling me that that is llot her calendar, it is her diary. I fear that the desk at which I had seated myself was the same desk at which Miss Mather had seated herself some time ago and from which she had not since removed herself. I am sorry, said Miss Dickinson, but I have forgotten the date of my charming production of November 20, 'The Eyes of Tlaloc,' and stop this animated conversation and get out of the hall. The Fall Formal, said Miss Mather as she jammed my head between the llegs of ex-president Lincoln, was November Zo, and it was on the same night that VVil'ls' lads licked the tar outta' Springfield in their first game of the season, and that's not my calendar, that's my diary.

'iv 33 QRMAN BITTERMA 'Ilhe dcilications are usually made to faculty menihers, but this year there is also a student whose work has commanded the recognition and appreciation of the students. Norman liitterman, the representative of the sophomore class in the student council, is president of the council, llis program has been one of reform and innovation. lle has been the promoter of a movement to rewrite the constitution, which the school has outgrown and experience has proved in- eliicient, The president himself has suggested many of the provisions which the new constitution advocates. Norman has been instrumental in the advancement of the particularly full and successful social year which the college has had. He planned for more dances than ever hefore, popular orchestras, and appointed hard-working, skillful com- mittees. with the aid of the council, of course. The sports parties, originated hy the XY. A. A., were supported and made permanent by the council after their enthusiastic reception hy the students. ln short, the colleges activities have undergone a revolutionary change, due to the council's vigorous and unrelenting work. lts last move was to establish a permanent publicity hoard to advertise the college events in order to arouse the attention and enthusiasm of the student body. Certainly, Norman, as the president of this council, receives the heart-felt thanks of the students.

The JC. of 1937 Thej C of 1937 FRESI-IMAN CLASS OFFICERS This year's freshman class, under the very capable leadership of George NfVell- man, president, Harris Robinson, vice- presidentg Robert Owens, secretary and treasurer, Clarence Rimke and Ernest Lundin, student council members, has had a social calendar dotted with un- usual activities. Mr. lra D. Yaggy, dean of the college, has been a help and an inspiration to this student group up- on every occasion. The freshman hop, held March 9, in the high school gymnasium, and the an- nual college banquet, held June 2, were two outstanding activities directed by this group. Although this class, as at any college, was supposed to be the underdog, or the humble group, it has been far from that. Aggressive and alert the members have been found cooperating on every occa- sion with the sophomores for the glory of the college. There has been a goodly number of freshman students on the basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and de- bate teams. They have done their share towards making the W'omen's Athletic Association parties and sports. events a success. ln their participation in these social events they have not neglected their scholastic work, for their record along this line has been a brilliant one. lf their interest in social affairs and their standard as students do not diminish, they bid fair to become an out- standing sophomore class. lt is hoped that their college work will not end here. COLLEGE CLUB At the animal election of the College Club officers, Patrick Mclfarland be- came presidentg Gordon Argyle, vice- president, and lane Brennan, secretary. The opening meeting was held October 15. At this time, Dean Yaggy introduced the officers and Mr. Mayo, faculty sponsor. A diversihed program of school talent was then presented. On the evening of November 25, Ben Ames, noted war correspondent, gave an illustrated lecture on the Ethiopian Wlar, which he had covered. On December 14, Mrs. R. D. Renken- berger lectured on Christmas Greens. She displayed her own handiwork in mounting the various greens. lay Berwanger, former All-American half-back and captain of the University of Chicago football team, was the speaker at the January meeting. He told of his experiences in football and in Hol- lywood while making pictures. Page Tlzwfy five February l5 was Language Night. The English play, The Ring and the Look, was directed by Miss Dickinson. The French Club presented a one-act comedy, and the German Club enter- tained with a group of German songs. At the March meeting, ul. XV. Zellner, impersonator, entertained College Club with his clever portrayal of many his- torical characters. An amateur talent night was presented at the April meeting. Among those on the program were the Philomels, a choral group under the direction ot Mrs. H. Converse, Audrey Totter, who entertained with several readings, and several students rendering musical se- lections. The last meeting of the College Club was held May 2. It consisted of school talent, and readings by Virginia XYilliams. As a climax of the year's activities, a picnic was sponsored the latter part of May at Phillips Park.

The J.C.Of1Q37 Pago Tlzirf -v-six Thej C of 1937 LANGUAGE NIGHT From the students' viewpoint, one of the most enjoyable programs of College Club was Language Night, which was presented by the students themselves. Three clubs, the English, French, and German, participated. The English Club put on an amusing skit entitled The Ring and the Look concerning high school adolescents in their prime. Robert Owens was Tommy Tuttle, the deeply-involved hero. He had given a precious ring, won at a carnival, to Claire Burnham C-lerry Wrightb, his girl of the preceding week. Claire, a charming little spit-tire, kept the good-natured colored maid Beulah, a role for which Elda Fern Schwartz won renown, constantly jump- ing to answer the phone. Tommy, the man with many women in his life, had promised the ring to a persuasive miss named Doris Moore tFrances Heusnerl. Both young ladies claimed the ring and appeared at the Tuttle homestead, putting the hero in a fever of anxiety lest his new flame, Evelyn Granger, tljorothy ,lohnstonl should happen in. His forebodings materialized, and Evelyn entered under the pretext of borrowing a book from Marion, Tommy's amused sister CDorothy Chalstroml. Mary Ellen Seamans portrayed a popular type of mother who knew when to leave the room. Tommy's friend, Billy Martin tpershing Burgardl, hurried away when the onrush of the weaker sex began. However, Tommy tpreferring Tomi, the diplomat, straightened it out by presenting to Evelyn his good ring of gold with an honest-to-gttodness, genuine stone. Following this, the French Club presented an untitled play, written by two of the French students, Henry Luccock and Pershing Bur- gard. The plot was laid around two Ameri- can singers posing as French opera stars, Page Tlnrty swan Madame and Monsieur DuBois, who came to Paris from an American tour to sing for the French celebration on july 14, their fourth of july. The eccentric hotel manager, M. Bovee, tHenry Luccockb, and the two maids, Marge tMarge Knightl and Louise fCatherine Hallerb, were in a Hutter of excitement over the arrival of the stars and bustling around, while radio announcer John Kristopher and mechanic Harold Levinson were preparing the broadcasting equipment. Baggageman Ray Anderson brought the trunk, and when all had left the room, out from the trunk came stow- aways, VN'endell Osborn, Bill Hansen, and Ed Rosentretter. Into the room at this moment waltzed the beautiful Simone, daughter of Madame and M. DuBois and the idol of VVendell's heart, since he had met her on the boat. A touching reunion was being effected when in burst the disguised imposters, Lois Bitterman and Ernest Lundiu. Two peasant girls, Betty Paul and Ann Sari, came in to dance for the celebrities, whose arrival had been announced. Lois and, Ernest sang and were very enthusiastically received. In the midst of the applause in sailed Madame and M. DuBois, French to the fingertips and lo- quaciously indignant. XVendell1 suggested that they sing to prove their identity, but only a few screeching notes were needed to cause them to be evicted, despite their vigorous pro- testations. A contract was given Lois and Ernestg and Ernest, pleased with the results which NVendell's suggestion had produced, made him his business manager. Strengthened by this promise of financial resources, NVendell proposed to and was accepted by Simone, bringing the play to a happy ending. For variation, the German Club brought the evening to a successful close by their render- ing of lively folk songs. TI-IE WINTER L TI-IE WINTER Page Tlzirfy-eight it Y UPPER-! , ,5'fn11di11gf.'

Qf 1937 TheJ C of 1937 THE CGLLEGE-Y CLUB The College-Y Club closely resembles a fraternity in its organization. lts fine comradeship is appropriately restricted to boys and membership is invitational. This well-knit group of approximately twenty has met at the Y. M. C. A. club rooms for dinner meetings on the first and third XVednesday evenings of each month for the last school year. George Sahler ably guided the club throughout the year as president. Fred Patterson served as vice-president, while Ray Xlatson was secretary the first se- mester and treasurer the second. The treasurer for the first semester was Earl Biddle, and the secretary the second se- mester was John Duffy. These officers in governing the year's activities followed the club's purpose: To create,maintain,and extend through- out the school and community high stand- ards of Christian character. Among the well-known speakers this year were: Miss Elizabeth Barns, Miss Dew Dailey, Mr. E. NVells, Judge G. N. Blatt, and the Rev. P. G. Van Zandt. Each speaker left a valuable message with the club. XYith Henry Luccock as leader, the whole club cooperated in making the second annual New Year's Eve All- School Dance a big success. This affair was well received as a source of whole- some entertainment for the young people of the community. The turnout of al- most three hundred couples enabled the club to turn over a substantial profit to the Free Milk Fund. Another successful event was the date banquet and dance. Earl Biddle was chairman of this affair, and James J. Hart was the entertainer of the evening. The College-Y Club provides a fine Op- portunity for broadening one's self men- tally, morally, and physically. Return- ing members look forward to a well- rounded out program next year.

Springfield was the first foe of the season, but the down-staters were sent home the losing team. The next two non-conference foes were Uelialb Nor- mal and St. Yiator, always contenders for conference championship in the Little Nineteen Conference. Joliet finished on the short-end of the two hard fought QZIITIGS, but then won the next four non- conference games from Centenary, llur- lington. Concordia, and St. Joe. They were defeated in their next game by Concordia of Milwaukee there. Joliet ended the regular season with two de- feats, one from the llawaiian All-Stars, and the other by St. Joe, lnd. Two feature games were played this season, one against Centenary College of Louisiana, and the other against the llawaiian All-Stars. Centenary is a member of the strong Southern Con- ference, of which they were the cham- pions in the 103-l-35 season. The Gen- tlemen from the South were set back with a 28 to 27 loss, after they were heavy favorites to win easily. This game, which started out with a slow- break, neither team being able to get the edge, turned out to be a thriller in the last few seconds of play. Trailing, with only about five seconds left to play, Bob Corcoran, Joliet forward, took the ball on an out-of-bounds play, dribbled the length of the floor, and looped in a set-up to win the game. The other feature game was played against the Hawaiian All-Stars, but Joliet was not so successful, losing in the last tive minutes by a score of 52 to 39. The All-Stars were small, ranging from five feet, three inches to five feet, ten, hav- ing one tall man, a six-foot four-inch center. They were fast, quick, deadly shots, and never tired. The All-Stars were made up of graduate players of high schools and universities of the islands. Playing before a packed gym- nasium, the All-Stars started a whirl- wind scoring spree, running up an S to 0 score before the home team got located. Joliet trailed at the half, but went on a scoring spree in the second half to run the score up to 35 to 36, Joliet trailing, but it was stopped there when the Hawaiians went on a scoring spree of their own. XYhen the gun sounded, end- ing the game, Joliet was on the short end of a 52 to 39 score. ln eighteen games, Joliet scored 715 points to their opponents' 615, or an average of 39,72 points per game, to their opponents' 3-L16 points per game. Klctlrath, Joliet's All-State guard, led the Joliet team in scoring. The regular team consisted of Corcoran and Patter- son, forwardsg McAllister, center, McGrath and Argyle, guards. ln the second semester, Knowles was in the line-up in a forward position. Schutten, reserve guard: Sahler, reserve centerg and Layfield, reserve forward, saw action.

STATE Toi'RNAMi3NT FINALS LaGrange 53?-Joliet 45. The Joliet Junior College State Tours nament was held at LaGrange, the home of the defending state champs. Joliet was proud to be one of the eleven junior college teams challenging LaGrange for the state title. Coach XYills' XfVolves , winner of their seventh consecutive Northern lllie nois Junior College Conference Cham- pionship, entered the tournament as one of the favorites along with LaGrange, North Park, and XYilson. Playing their first game against Herzl Junior College of Chicago, the Xlfillsmen emerged vic- torious in a thrilling game -l-l to 42. The Joliet te:im's offensive power was paced by Ray McGrath who scored 22 points. The next opponent of the team was the strong North Park live, who were stamped as real title-contenders after their one-sided victory over the strong lVilson Junior College with a score of 48 to Z-l. The game was closely fought, hnally ending in a 42 to 37 victory for the W'olves. The lead changed hands many times during the course of the game, and at half time the XVolf pack was on the short end of a 20 to 16 score. Through a spirited second half drive, the Joliet team emerged victorious, scor- ing 42 points to North Park's 37. No individual player's work stood out, but rather all of the Joliet team were stars on both offense and defense. In the TOURNAMENT other semi-tinal game LaGrange easily won over Lisle, 49 to 38. ln the tinal game of the tournament, Joliet bowed to the strong LaGrange team. 58 to 45, in a rough and hard- fought game. The XYillsmen were seri- ously handicapped in the second half, as lxen McAllister and Captain Argyle were put out of the game on fouls. The team struggled hard to overcome a tirst half LaGrange lead but could not-the result being LaGrange won their second consecutive state title. Joliet's offensive work was shared evenly by Captain Argyle, Knowles, Pat- terson, and McGrath. LaGrange was paced by its great scoring ace, Klindera, high scorer of the tournament. Joliet placed three men on the all-state squad. Ray McGrath was placed on the tirst All-State team as guard. McAllister and Argyle received second rating as forward and guard, respectively. Other members of the first All-State team were: Klindera, LaGrange forwardg Manno, Morton forward: Kellman, North Park centerg Halavesk, LaGrange guard. The Joliet tournament squad was com- posed of Bill Knowles, Fred Patterson, Bob Laytield, and Qavi Maki, forwardsg Ken McAllister and George Sahler, cen- ters: Captain Gordy Argyle, Ray Mc- Grath, Al Shutten, and Don Anderson, guards. The tournament received whole- hearted support from the Joliet student body as their turn-outs to the games was remarkable. Joliet, we are proud of your fighting spirit. You never stopped trying, you were great even in defeat, but champion- ship congratulations must go to a great LaGrange team. Tl-IE WINTER TI-IE WINTER Page Fvffy-fwv Upper: KNOWLES, PATTERSON.

About fifteen girls came out this year for Orchesis, which is an honorary dancing club. More girls should come out for it as it is a training that develops grace, poise, and self-expression through rhythmical movement. TAP I-lop, step, tlopa, step, to the time of One, two, button your shoe, or some other popular tune, was a common occur- rence in the girls' small gym as the tap girls practiced for college club or some other program. PING PONG Smash it l The boys did, so the girls learned to do it in self-defense. The girls' ping pong group included twenty-seven players, and a large num- ber of boys also utilized the school's ping pong facilities. The main event of the season was a girls' singles elimina- tion tournament with both winners' and losers' brackets. A large number of mixed games, both singles and doubles, was played. RIFLE Crack goes a rille live times and then you look at your target. If you're just beginning, probably you missed coin- pletely: if you're a sharp-shooter, maybe they're all on the black.

Thej.C. of 1937 Thej C of 1937 DANCES To the Junior Collegians, one of the biggest events of the year is the Fall Formal. The night of November 25 was the dawn of an era, since the student body waived refreslnnents and favors for Emil Flindt's popular orchestra. The committee, under Patrick Mclfarland, bedecked the gymnasium with purple and white streamers, the college colors. Mr. Leinenweber was the faculty sponsor, Always an hilarious event, the Cos- tume Dance, January 21, was particularly successful this year. Mel Marvin's or- chestra was engaged for the evening, Miss Clarke did honors as sponsor: and George Cowing was committee chair- man. A box of candy was presented Miriam Sellards and Henry Luccock for the most original costumes. They were actually covered from head to foot with examination papers, topping it off with lamp-shade hats adorned with them. Ruth Smith and Harry Cody reverted to childhood days with hair-bow and mibs, winning the vegetable bouquet for the funniest costumes. March 5, amid the general atmosphere of intense concentration and study, the lfireshmaiy llop tas picturedj was pre- sented with Mel Marvin's orchestrag faculty sponsor, Mr. llurdeng and com- mittee chairman, George XYellman. Spring was the central theme of the dec- orations, and multi-colored crepe-paper tlowers peeking behind white fences pro- duced the spring garden effect. This was the annual dance given the sopho- mores by the freshmen, and, with the two formals, was one of the big social affairs of the year. APRIL SHOWERS DANCE Une hundred and forty couples, in- cluding both junior college students and alumni, tripped the light fantastic to the strains of music supplied by Bud Ventz and his local, eight-piece orchestra. In keeping with the season, the scene suggested beautiful April time set off by innumerable spring llowers used in deco- ration. Overhead, the lights were cov- ered with cylinders elaborated by the many colors of the rainbow. Dancing was enjoyed from nine until midnight. The dance programs also fol- lowed out the theme of spring and were different from anything which had pre- viously been used. Green covers opened to disclose the inside which was gray, the pages being separated by white cel- lophane. 'l'he committee in charge of affairs was headed by George Sahler, who had for his assistants Mary Lou Mclllanus, Ken- neth Mc.-Xllister, Leland Stout, XVilliam llansen, Lois Dean, and Harriet Slap- nicar. Chaperons for the evening were Miss Myra Mather, Miss Glenna Hamill, and Mr. and Mrs. l. D. Yaggy. The faculty sponsor was Miss Betty Davies. l Tl-IE WINTER TI-IE WINTER STQRMY DAYS Thej.C.of1937 Page Fifzj The J C.of1937 DECEMBER llear Diary: lt was on December 3, replied Mr. Leinenweber without hesitation, that Ralph Cissne, conductor of the -loliet Symphony Orchestra spoke at the Current lfvents Club.

He plans monthly programs which will be of interest to the students. and the first Monday of the month isneveradull evening. He is versatile in his selection of entertainers: but whatsoever his choice may be, magician, war correspondent, football star, it is sure to be novel and entertaining. Mr. Mayo's winning personality is instrumental in his ability to persuade bash- ful students to perform for amateur night. He must scout around uncovering the talent of modest collegiansg but his task is only begun, for he has to wheedle and coax to secure a promise to perform. His efforts are amply rewarded by the unusually large turn-out and the enthusiasm of the students, which talent night always excites. The climax to Mr. Mayo's entertainment compaign is the college picnic held at the close of school in an effort to bring together once more the student body, after the graduation of the sophomores. lt is truly a picnic for the students, but not for Mr. Mayo, who has to worry about ants, flies, and melting ice-cream. Vie hope the marvelous time had by the students is compensation enough and a true expression of our appreciation.

Much of the credit for this victory was due to the untiring work of Mr. Myers, the debate coach of the champion team. Out of ten scheduled debates Joliet had eight victories. One debate was lost early in the season to the Harvey negative team, and another was indefinitely post- poned with the North Park affirmative team. -Ioliet's nearest rival in the con- ference suffered at least three defeats. This year's question for debate was: Resolved, that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. Page Tzxtv .sewn The allirmative was upheld by Ray Watson and Henry Luccock, and the negative side by Qrrin Long, Helen Kelly, and George Sahler. A debate class was held the hrst semester by Mr. Myers to instruct aspir- ing debaters in the theory and technique of debate, and provide a foundation for the year's debate question. Places on the team, however, were not restricted to those attending the class, but were open on a competitive basis to all college students. At the end of the debate sea- son, keys were given to members of the debate team. Due to graduation all experienced de- baters but Orrin Long will leave places vacant on the team. Let's have them filled with championship material.

The J.C.Of1Q37 Page Six fy-eiglzl hej C of l937 jUNlOR COLLEGE CHOIR During the second semester of the year, the present Junior College choir was organized at the request of the music students who desired to further their musical experience along this line. More than thirty students responded to the first call. The members have worked diligently thruout the semester and have appeared on College Club programs. A represen- tative number of the group were mem- bers of the Chimes of Normandy cast, both in chorus and principal roles: and CI-IIMES OF Through its presentation of the Chimes of Normandy, directed by Mr. Alex Zimmerman, the musical depart- ment brought one of the greatest audi- ences in the history of the school to a production in the auditorium, Friday evening, April 16. Before a house iilled with a capacity crowd of 2100 people in our auditorium, 150 students sang, danced, and drama- tized a quaint old story centering about a haunted French chateau. lt opened with a colorful peasant chorus which formed the musical hack- ground. Lois Bitterman took the role of a peasant girl, turned marchioness through a typographical error. She won great admiration from the audience with her charming and finished interpretation of the role of Serpolette. Another lead part was Betty Bippus, petite Germaine, a charming coquette who carried on a ro- mance with Henri. Ernest Lundin was in this capacity called forth the highest praise of critics and patrons. Outstanding in the choir were the special A Cappella arrangements made for the exclusive use of the Joliet organ- ization. According to Alex. H. Zimmerman, director of the group, the Junior College possesses a wealth of musical talent and all of the facilities for developing one of the outstanding junior collegiate choirs of the country. The group will be reor- ganized early in the fall, and an effort to attain this goal will be made. NORMANDY the Marquis de Corneville, a gallant cavalier whose voice added to the suc- cess of the comic opera. The difhcult role of Gaspard, aged miser, was dramatically and most artis- tically portrayed by Norman llitterman. lsadore Cohen took care of the humor- ous business of the play. Comedy was added thru the wig trouble of the lllailli, played by Orial Holt: Ray lValsh, who minded everyone else's business 3 and Ray Sahler, and lYal- ter Skroka. Other principals contribut- ing to the presentation were Phyllis Stone, Vera Smith, Jean Fargo, and Arlene Robinson. The production has cleared the ap- proximate S400 deficit of the music department. 'XVith only a few ex- penses to be paid out of the net gate re- ceipts of 3650, there will be marked change in the books of the music depart- ment. 117' Page saw me T1-115 SPRING X X L A THE SPRING P096 Sffffnfy ...A mQgx.,.mv - - lffvr, .S'tmzdzug1.'

Lozver: ROTATIVIS SPORTS PARTY. The 5.0 of 1937 Thej C of 1937 BASEBALL The J. J. C. baseball team started out the season with dismal prospects as only three veterans returned. However, under the direction of Coach NVills the W'o1ves gradually improved until now they are hitting along at full stride in first place in the Northern lllinois Junior College Conference race. The XYolves started the season by de- feating Naperville 3-1 in a non-con- ference game. Playing twice more the same week Joliet was defeated by Aurora 5-3 and by Chicago Normal 7-3. 'l'hen the Yvolves started to move and have compiled a live game win- ning streak starting with a 12-9 victory over Aurora in a return engagement. The following week the XVolves won their first two conference games, defeat- Lisle 3-2 and Morton 12-3 behind the fine pitching of Ray lX'1cGrath. Tak- ing ing time out from conference warfare the Joliet lads in their first home game defeated St. Joseph's flndj 18-9. Once more returning to conference play the XVolves defeated North Park 4-0 as Ray McGrath turned in a masterful per- formance on the mound. ln a return game St. Joseph's College trounced the XYolves 10-5. Three more games are scheduled for the remainder of the season, three of which are in the conference, LaGrange, Wilson, and Herzl. XVith the team going so well it looks as if Coach Wills may bring home another championship to add to the laurels of C. ROTATIVE SPORTS PARTY A rotative sports party, sponsored by the W'omcn's Athletic Association and Student Council, turned the long double gymnasium of the high school into a veritable beehive of activity on the eve- ning of March 19. Can't you just imagine the gaiety, give and take, and congenial mixing that was created when fourteen competitive games were in progress on this huge floor at one time? The students were divided into teams of four players, each team competing against another team for a period of eight minutes, and then progressing in opposite directions. There were awards given to the winning and low point teams. Oh, yes, there were refreshments served from the VV. A. A. club room at the close of the games by Mary Kelly, Virginia Lindblad, and their committee. This unique and successful evening was voted an outstanding one on the Junior College calendar. It was the result of much planning and hard work on the part of the committee in charge which consisted of the following: the event and president of the W. A. A.g Dorothy Chalstrom, chairman of Norman Bitterman, president of the student council, Henry Luccock, and Patrick McFarland. Mrs. Phoebe Ann Kirby, good friend and counsellor, was the sponsor of the party. The games were managed by the fol- lowing students: Don Anderson, George Cowing, Charles Carlin, Clarence Rirnke, John Donoghue, Robert Frisbie, Robert Daggett, John Kristofer, VVilliam Ahlvin, John Lundquist, Robert Dunn, Arthur Johnston, Thyrle Jardine, Richard Davis, and Robert Hann. v-7 S fx-.Lx I age Stmntv one ,J .QQ THE SPRING Page Seventy two BASEBALL KEN RlcALLlS'l'ElQ+center tielder.

Thej C of1937 Thej C of 1937 INTRAMURAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT The annual Intramural Tennis Tour- nament had one of its most successful years, having a strong held of com- petitors and the matches resulting in close scores. A total of twenty-four boys entered the field in quest of the title for Junior College including such pre-tournament favorites as John Fitzer, Bob Owens, Gordy Argyle, and George Arthurs. The tournament was run off in smooth style and the four semi-finalists left to fight it out for the three places in the VVolves' tennis team were: Fitzer, Owens, in the upper bracket, and Arthurs and NVeeks to play it out for the lower bracket championship. The result of these two matches was as follows: Fitzer beat Owens in a hard fought live set match, 6-4, 6-l, 5-7, 3-6, and S-6. Arthurs, after nearly losing his match many times finally won out in another five set match: 6-Z, 2-6, 4-6, 8-6, 6-3. In this match the slow methodical lob- bing style of XVeeks nearly beat Arthurs. To reach the finals of the tournament liitzer was forced to beat Mason, Miller, and Owens, and during his drive, Arthurs overcame Sahler, Sandstrom, Cron, and XYeeks. The finals have not been played as the annual goes to press, but both boys are evenly matched and the finals should result in a hard fought match. The three representatives for Joliet in the State meet to be held May Z2 at Morton Junior College are John Fitzer, singles: and a doubles team composed of George Arthurs and Bob Owens. GOLF TOURNAMENT The Joliet Junior College golf tourna- ment was won by Bill Hickey defeating John Sandstrom in the finals, two up and one to go. Of the fourteen entries which included two members of last year's championship team, Hickey and lien McAllister, these boys were the best of the field. The semi-finals found those freshmen, Arnold Sandstrom, Rob Johnston, and Ernest Lundin, with sophomore Bill Hickey, remaining after the early round of the tourney. Sandstrom defeated Bannon and McAllister: Johnston ad- vanced through a bye and a victory over Oesterle to the semi-finals, Lundin won over Levinson, Hickey, the meet favor- The two semi-final matches found Sandstrom playing Johnston in the upper bracket: and in the lower Hickey op- posed Lundin. Results were victories for Sandstrom, who whipped Jolmston six up and four to go: and for Hickey who won from Lundin after a hard- fought match, one up on the nineteenth green. The finals found both boys shooting good golf, Hickey winning two up and one to go. Hickey's medal score was Sl and Sandstronfs 84.

This happened at the one Monday night when the XXI. A. A. swimming group was diving. About ten of the college girls came out for this sport. They were divided into two groups, one for beginners and one for advanced swimmers. Classes were held every Monday night. GQLF Golf was played in both spring and fall by VI. Nl. C. co-eds. This spring I-Ieinie Sick, professional at Crystal Lawns Country Club, gave a series of nve inside lessons and one outside lesson. He also helped with the spring tournament. Four- teen girls came out for golf. Cotton balls were used for the inside practices in driving, in proper stance, and use of the various clubs. An elimination tour- nament was played in the fall. BASEBALL The sharp crack of a bat against a baseball and the whir of a line drive as it whizzes over the second baseman's head were thrilling sounds to the girls who took part in the XX'. A. A.'s most active spring sport, baseball. The indoor court and soft ball were used. The col- lege teams competed against each other and against the high school teams. TENNIS Spring fever, tennis, and loveg and the greatest of these is tennis, according to the XX'. A. A. girls who went out for that sport. One of the nation's most popular games for girls, tennis develops speed in both motion and thought, as well as skill in the mechanics of the game. Early practices in the gym were devoted to teclmique and serving, and when the weather warmed up, the girls played outdoors. RIDING Horseback riding is one of the gayest, most popular activities offered by the XX'. A. A. The College Riding Club con- sisted of about fifteen members. Besides the rides on the trails at XX'oodruff on various days of the week, several sup- pers were held after the rides. On the last Saturday of school an up and down derby was held, testing the mounting and dismounting ability of the girls. .eggs 25? jive X THE SPRING TI-IE S PRING TIME OU T FOR SPORTS The jc. of 1937 Page Seve my-six Thej C of 1937 W.

Memories of the exultant triumph of a suc- cessful play in basketball, old No. 3, working easily, smoothly synchronized .... the equally exnltant triumph of a stubborn, furious de- fense against a fighting, charging attack upon the basket .... the sudden, tense hush when a free throw is being tossed .... the mad delirium of the last seconds of a close game, the timekeeper's whistle raised, the ball arch- ing toward the basket ,... the keen rivalry between the college girls' team and the high school champs .... New gym suits, yellow and brown, sliding around in the mud on the hockey field .... The surge of a hockey team down the field on a dead run .,.. the mixup in front of the goal, sticks swinging and clashing, the ball jumping and rolling, the goalie frantically blocking and pouncing .... The fun we had going to play days .... the splash party at Thornton gl. C ..... the first coeducational playday in the history of the XY. A. A., held at Morton Junior College . . . . the work and fun of having our own Canine sports day .... the fun coming and going in cars of carefree young people .... the friendliness of joining young people from other schools .... the appreciation of our own school after visiting those of other XYomen's Athletic Associations .... The keen rivalries on the shufileboard courts . . . . the happy shriek of a girl whose carelessly lucky shove stopped on the ten .... the moan when an accuratel'y aimed and carefully shoved disk slides easily onto the ten-offu .... the crack of a black disk knocking a white disk clear out of the court .... the happy com- radeship of lunches in the club room, with the radio playing and soft yellow lights glow- ing .... the friendly cabinet meetings with llo Chalstrom, president, saying W'hat do you girls think ? ..., the understanding coopera- tion and guidance of Mrs. Kirby, our sponsor, and of Miss Green and Mrs. Hoyt .... spirit of tap rehearsals .... and clicking toes .... Mrs. The snappy clicking heels Hoyt's nimble fingers making that piano do get up and tap along with the girls .... the thrill of a fast gallop on a everything but good horse .... the struggles of learning to ride at a trot .... the hilarious fun of the hamburger fry after the ride .... hamburgers with ketchup and ashes and laughter ..., Monkey business in the locker room .... who tied whose locker shut? .... and who took revenge by hiding whose shoes? ....

Monday evenings swimming at the MY . . . . splashing just for fun .... racing in real earnest .... dives that went up and over perfectly, cutting the water cleanly .... dives that flopped awkwardly and sniartingly . . . . the powerful feel of a solid hit in baseball as the jar from it runs down the bat, up your arms, and across your shoulders .... the comfortable plop of a Hy into outstretched hands .... the arguments about who's going to play balcony when two games are going at once on the short diamond in the gym .... The excitement of a fast tennis game . . the tight matches in the girls' tournament .... the shivering XYha-a-a-ng of a tennis ball hitting a broken racquet string .... the short, solid whang of a well-hit serve .... new white stone paths leading to the courts .... shrubs leahng out along the wire fence .... lilacs in bloom beside the courts .... the first sunburn of the season ..,.

Dear Diary, wasn't it the following Monday that I discovered myself in a mail box, masticating the beard of a wet mop, while a. familiar voice roared, And stay there until next Monday. Happy Eastern? Coach VX'ills' calendar for March 20 says, Don't forget to wash my chin. It must have been on this day that his mandibular extremity swept the floors of the locker room because of the extraordinary length of his Visage. which was a consequence of the se:1son's hrst baseball practice. APRIL And how are you today, sir? I asked of ex-President Lincoln whom Miss Mather had just jammed my head between the legs of. If you are a scholar, sir, record in your memory the date of April 9, the date ol the April Showers Dance. I wish you were bowlegged, sir. Quietly I slipped behind the rail in the main othce and helped myself to a i ' copy of the auditorium calendar. To my infinite astonishment its owner across the knuckles which I shall never forget. Realizing that I had for- . 'Q 'J suddenly removed the roller trom her typewriter and dealt me a blow gotten conventionalities, I quickly responded with a How do you do, i I whereupon she inserted the roller into my mouth and pushed with amazing ' strength. I took my departure, coughing violently. But on April lo several golden-voiced junior collegians helped pack the auditorium for The Chimes of Normandy. No one has forgotten April 19, the day when Coach XYills smiled again His lads beat the pants ofta' North Central in the season's opener. Get out of the library, said Miss Dillman. Stop this animated conver- sation and get out of the hall, said Miss Dickinson. Sh! said somebody else in 235. Yi Yi! But Charles Mason took pity and whispered in my ear The intramural golf and tennis tournaments began on April Zo.

It is against the policy of the school, said Dr. Haggard, tapping me on the shoulder, to allow junior collegians to write diaries with their heads jammed between the legs of ex-l'resident Lincoln. Hut Dr. Haggard would not saw off the legs of my friend, Mr. Lincoln, so here I am today, Dear Diary, reminiscing on the most magnihcent dance in the history of the school, the Spring Formal of May 21, looking forward to reading my year book, which has been issued today, May 25, and wondering if Kliss Mather will find the key to this padlock, which is contributing an element of permanency to my sojourn between the legs of ex-President Lincoln, before the College Picnic next Saturday, May 29, or the animal -Innior College Banquet of June Z, or at least by Commencement, which is scheduled for june 5. And that, Dear Diary, and Dear Martha, is that.
