Thej.C. of 1937 page Scvczzlcczl CURRENT EVENTS CLUB The Current Events Club has been one of the most active organizations in gl. nl. C. during the past year. Students who were anxious to be well informed on present conditions regularly attended the weekly meetings of the club. Helen Kelly as president: .lack Hancock, vice-president: Clara Mores. secretary: and Mr. H. D. Leinenweber, faculty sponsor, handled the business matters of the club. This year the group was fortunate in having outside speakers at certain times. Mr. Ralph Cissne spoke on music: Mr. C. K. Turman, insurance in Our Mod- ern Economic Systemnz Mr. XY, XY. Haggard, The Most lnteresting Project in Education. lllany teachers contributed excellent talks on timely subjects and received many favorable comments from those at- tending the meetings. Mr. R. L. Marshall, Mr. E. C. Douglas, llliss Dew Dailey, Mr. l.. M. Onsgard, Miss Elizabeth l-Earns, and Mr. F. I.. lfleener were among those who spoke. Several forum discussions were held by the group under the leadership of Mr. l,einenweber, A discussion of the new traflic ordinance for the city was especi- ally well attended. A student debate between Orrin Long and Ray Watson on the question: Re- solved, that all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated, also provided an interesting meeting.

Cheers to them first of all, because they have given us in their paper the news while it is still news, and because they have taken pains to write up this news so that we tind it interesting and enjoy reading it. More cheers to them, be- cause they have given us useful infor- mation in their feature articles and feature columns. Cheers this time for their clever jokes which have provided many good laughs, and for their timely, educational editorials which have ap- pealed to our more serious nature and enabled us to get insight into world affairs.

Like their lllazer this mixer was a great success. lt was, in fact, the most suc- cessful mixer given by any organization this last year. lt was planned by a com- mittee chosen from the staff and aided by the remainder of the staff. This Blazer Mixer was held in the high school cafeteria and all college students were privileged to. attend. A banquet started the mixer and later in the evening there was dancing to a local orchestra. Tl-IE AUTUMN

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.

C. staff was chosen early in the school year to build up the book feature by feature. Each department was assigned various tasks from time to time on which they worked until com- pletion. 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. Page Nzm tan i
