,T Ä Gc° o^ R 7 Vol. I ll, No. 7 Bethesda, Maryland, November 11, 1948 Single Copy 10c Homecoming Dance at Carlton, Jane Kinsman Is Crowned Queen Last Saturday the long-awaited Homecoming Da nc e took place at the Carlton Hotel on 16th Street. The event was highlighted by the crowning of Jane Kinsman as Homecoming Queen. The dance was very well attended, even better than had been expected. The affair was well represented with both student body and Faculty. The dance commenced at 9:00 in the evenin and wound up somewhere in the neighborhood of 1:00 A. M. The main event of the evening was, of course, the crowning of the Queen of the Homecoming Dance. Around 11:00 P. M., Carl Harrad, who presided, as the Master of Ceremonies, presented Jane Kinsman, the selected Queen. The presentation ceremony was followed immediately by the crowning of the Queen by Sheldon Oremland, the captain of the team. The Queen was then given a bouquet of American Beauty roses, with nosegays for her two attendants, Molly Queen and Mary Lou Garner. The assemblage then withdrew to a room adjacent to the ballroom for the reception. A ' reception line was formed by couples, and then filed by presenting greetings to the Queen, her attendants, Sally Anderson, Sheldon Oremland, Miss Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Fast, and Mr. Fox, who were among the receiving body. Among the other high spots of the occasion, Mr. Cohen presented Miss Doris Cumberland, who sang on several occasions -for the assemblage to the accompaniment of the orchestra. The turnout for the dance was much larger than had been estimated, and it was soon apparent that more room and particularly more tables should have been provided. However, the obvious need for better accommodation could not have been foreseen, for the greater majority of the quests secured their tickets at the door. If they had gotten their tickets beforehand at the school, it would have been possible to have anticipated and provided for the large attendance. Part Time Job Summary November 2, 1948. Offers of part-time jobs to Montgomery Junior College students come in every day, over the telephone and by personal c a l l . The Bethesda-Chevy Chase and Silver Spring areas have been generous and interested in the students. In return, the students are putting forth their, best effort on the jobs. The college placement bureau serves as liaison between the young college men and women who need part-time earnings, and the citizens of the community who are ready to give it to them. Fifteen placements were made in the last period of October. One family called to get a student to stay with their children while they made an emergency Sunday trip and found a college pre-medical student who served their needs. Schools in the area have Montgomery Junior College boys driving their station wagons. E l eme n t a r y schools find these more mature men and women excellent help in the office. Mr. Darling, small manufacturer, at 4718 Bethesda Lane, has four college students in his shop. Montgomery Junior College students and faculty appreciate the cooperation and interest of the community. Dean in Showwindow “ I felt like a goldfish in a bowl,” said Dean Price describing his sensations on appearing for station WGAY in the show window of the Hecht Company store in Silver Spring last Thursday. With a multitude on the outside looking in, one can well gauge the Dean’s discomfiture. However, it did not prevent the Dean from putting in a few words for MJC. The Dean interviewed some of the programs and endeavored to bring about general enlightenment concerning the College. He was heard over WGAY on the invitation of Mr. Tannen of that station. Football Friday This Friday at 2:00 P. M. the Knights will meet the Johns Hopkins Co l l e g e Freshmen eleven on the gridiron of the brand new Montgomery Blair High School stadium in Silver Spring. A festive program is planned which will feature the high-stepping Blair Majorettes and the school brass band. Students of the high school will be excused from classes to witness the contest. Former MJG Student Article A former MJC student, Norman H. Smith, who is now working at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, in coalition with a co-worker, recently wrote an article suggesting some improvements they had discovered for a piece of standard laboratory equipment, the Shepherd gas analysis apparatus. The. article appeared in the October 8 edition of the magazine Science: Mr. Smith is a member of the Physical Biology Laboratory staff at the Institute and was a Biology major s t u d e n t at M.J.C. For particulars one may procure the magazine at the College library, where it is kept on reserve.
