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

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.
