We Started the Year Cut Right with Our first activity of the year-an All-College picnic. Torrents of rain chased us to the Boy Scout cabin in Highland Park but didn't dampen our spirits a bit. The tra- ditional hot dogs and trimmings gave us strength for singing and games of all vari- eties-Fun ? ?? But def!! Then came our fall formal, Manhattan Nights. See what a crowd we had .... r w Dad's Sport ight When the W.A.A. girls invited their dads to engage and compete in some vigorous exercise, they didn't plan to go home with aching muscles themselves. But any aching muscles or prideiwere well worth the wonderful time had by everyone. The senior mernb-ers of the families really showed their stuff, and the gals were mighty proud of them too. 9

The Semester Ended With Celebration STAGE DOOR, by Edna Ferber, outstand- ing both as a broadway success and a movie, was this year's choice for the annual junior col- lege production which was given November 16th. The three-act play, the locale of which was a New York boarding house for career girls, was will chosen. since the very slim male population of J.J.C. the first semester made it necessary to choose a play calling for an overwhelming ma- jority of feminine roles. Leading pa1'ts were portrayed by Frances Mc- Ginnis as Terry Randall, Tedra Wultfe as Judith Canfield, Phyllis Gustafson as Jean Maitland, and Barbara Ellis as Kaye Hamilton. The large supporting cast was well handled by Sara Meers. Mary Joy Nelson, Georgia Lennon, Eula Linnard, Jean Smith. Beverly Long, Joan Hollister. Bill Taylor, Jim llcNichols. Matt Futterer. Jim Van Dyne, Lorraine Benedick, Priscilla Roth, Paul Theis, Jean Nelson, Charlene Reinsch, Norman Simmer, Don Swanson, Bob Fesko, Bill Marsh, Jerry Mangan, Marilyn Thomas, and Margaret Bombasaro. Under the direction of Miss Catherine lVood and with the aid of a talented cast, Stage Door may be added to the long list of J.J.C.'s successful productions. By unanimous vote of the student council the proceeds from the play went toward the support of college basketball. New Years Eve Ball One of the biggest and most successful social functions of the school year was our annual New Year's Eve Ball. sponsored by the Boys' College-Y. The many alumni who were on hand to welcome in the New Year helped to make it one of the most successful in recent years. M-:Keon's Melodionsu furnished the music for more than three hundred students and alumni who passed between the two huge white Christmas trees at the entrance to the combined gyms to ring in the New Year among new and old friends in a familiar atmosphere. Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time R tue afternoon of the lNlother-Daughter Tea givs '5 en January J, by the W.A.A.
