Soutod thtt to Right?! Puuiios, O'Garu, Bernier, Kilbrida Standing Gait to Righti Smith, Richards, Mogui This year the seniors saw fit to re-elect ail their freshmen officers to lead the graduating class and, in addition, voted representative posts to Norm Richards, John Smith and Norm Mogul. Continuing the influential lead- ership which had marked the previous year's administration, the officers took immediate action to alleviate a serious parking problem here and set the social wheel in motion by staging an early fall Cabaret to which all were invited. Leadership qualities were not restricted to the officers alone. Under the guidance of seniors new clubs were born and some al- ready organized were reiuvenated by second year students whose interest in school spirit was beyond the yea stage. Pepulur Frank Stein, with the assistance of Lloyd Mudie. formed the Pinochle Club which sponsored monthly suppers to which ail stu- dents were invited. Seniors Dick Winckler and Paul Bankson gathered together the many TEHOWS interested in the art of iazz and came up with one of the college's most successful organizations, the Jazz Club. To Clem Bernier fell the task of gathering interest in a club charted to be at assistance not only to the college but also to the com- munity, a club beset with various misfortunes since its originai inception here a few years ago. The Circle K, a branch of the lecul Ki- wanis has developed to become a most in- fluential voice on campus. Television celebrated its first birthday at P.J.C. and with seniors Dick Kiibride, Bill O'Gara and Earl Hyier at the helm, continued into another year discussions of public issues on a level that all could understand. The After Dinner Club was organized for those who consider eating and talking cm in- separable pair in the proper promotion oi good teliowship. Dick Winckler was elected to lead the new group, the first club at P.J.C to invite the alumni to active membership. A new ieurnalistic voice was added to the college atmosphere this year with the intro- duction of The Rag, a weekly newspaper edited by George Linscott with the assistance of both seniors and freshmen. The Newsance went into its second year of publication under the guidance at'- seniors Norm Richards, L. R. Media, and John P. Smith. The untiring efforts of editor Norm Pierce and the assistance of an able sta'H placed the monthly publication P.J.C. News on a higher informative plane then many papers of col- Ieges twice this size. The work of the STAG stafF under the iecde ership of Tom Merrill is herewith presented for your consideration. That is part of the story of this class of fitty-five. We have a record of achievement unequalled in the twenty-one year history of Portland Junior College. But this has been but the groundwork of what we hope will be a new era of great good fortune for our be- loved college and Alma Mater, as the result of enthusiastic participation by students in extra-curricuiar activities.
