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.
