"The Blazer first appeared in 1929. It was then just a very small four-page
paper. It soon expanded to its present size. Trie purpose of The Blazer is to
keep students informed about current student affairs, to give them news items,
features, humorous reports on everyday affairs, and good editorials. The paper
strives to give a picture of current student life. All of the students of Joliet Junior
College receive copies of The Blazer because it is included in the activity fee.
The Blazer is entirely a student publication. For the past year The Blazer
has been under the editorship of George Barnes for the first semester and Data Prew
for the second semester. The rest of The Blazer staff all worked hard this year to
help the paper keep the good reputation it has earned in other years. Miss Lois
Hyde was a most efficient and capable faculty adviser whose helpfulness has been
appreciated by all.

FRESHMAN GLASS OFFICERS

George Simpson, president of the
Freshman Class for trie first semester,
was a student well-liked by Ins fellow

classmen.

Grace McDowall. president during the
second semester, has shown her ability
in many ways. Grace has never shirked
any responsibility which has been placed
before her, and in addition to her work
as president, she participated in many
other activities of the school.

John Marchi, class secretary, was
another capable student who proved his
ability in leadership and the assumption
of responsibility.

MtDOWALL MARCHI SIMPSON

This year's Freshman Class has contributed much to J.J.C.. and the students
show promise of being one of the best groups of leaders which the school has ever
had in the coming year. Cooperation has been shown in practically every phase
of activity, and the Freshmen have stepped in and assumed their responsibilities in
such a way as to prove their ability in leadership.

The Freshman students of J.J.C. seem to have the interest and success of their
school at heart, both as a group and^ as individuals. This years group has been
very active in Student Council work. Current Events, and in athletics as well.
Their willingness to cooperate and their unselfishness have set an example for
succeeding groups of Freshmen as well as showing their ability to carry on the
student executive activities during the forth-coming school year.

WOMEN'S ATHLETIC
ASSOCIATION

The initials. W.A.A., stand for Women's Athletic Association, but they might also mean

We are active because of the high degree of participation among the women of Joliet Junior

College. Membership is open to every junior college girl. The W.A.A. encourages participation

in sports and helps promote friendliness and further ideals of good sportsmanship and health

among women students.

On the lirst Tuesday of each month a regular business meeting was held, while every Thursday
noon there was a cabinet meeting.

This year s sport season introduced a new sport, hiking. The hiking club took short trips around
town which included weiner roasts and toasted marshmallows at the end of the hike.

The W.A.A. offers instructions in seasonal sports and dancing, thus offering every girl an
opportunity to learn to dance and engage in competitive play. Two seasons of sports were held
in bowling, fencing, riding, archery, badminton, ping pong and shufneboard. At the co-recrea-
tional hour every Monday after school there were individual tournaments. Ladder tournaments
were held in swimming, golf, and tennis. There were round-robin tournaments in baseball and
basketball. Orchesis and ballroom dancing were popular in the spring.

The girls not only were active in sports but gave many delightful programs. The affairs spon-
sored by the organization were: An Initiation Service. Headliner Dance, Christmas Tea. Dad s
Sport Night. Hick Sports Day, Hayloft Swing, and a picnic.

To climax a year's activities the W.A.A. held its annual Mother and Daughter Tea in May.
At this time letters and honorary awards were presented to those who had earned them during
the year.

W.A. A. "Initiation Ceremony

The W.A. A. "Initiation Ceremony was held September second in the W.A.A.
Club Room. The newly-elected officers, when their names were called, stepped
lorward and were presented with a candle. As one body they then took the oath
of office and lighted their candles. These lighted candles represent the ever-ready
help that the officers will give to the Women s Athletic Association. The officers
for the current year were: President, Helen Weeks; Vice-President, Phyllis Stone;
Secretary-Treasurer. Muriel Osborne; Head of Sports, Marion Lennon; Head of
Publicity, Margaret Haynes. After the candle-lighting service Mrs. Kirby told us
the purpose and aims of the W.A.A.

All the heads of sports then came forward and as a group repeated the oath of
office. The heads of sports for the current year were: Isabel Anderson. Archery:
Barbara Dinet, Table Tennis; Eva Sweda. Basketball: Wilma Orell, Baseball;
Helen Smith, Riding; Torrie Wright, Bowling; Grace McDowall, Skiing;
Virginia McEvoy, Swimming; Carolyn Tessiatore, Shuffleboard; Boots Douglas.
Badminton; Jean Jeffords, Orchesis: Evelyn Vaughan, Ballroom Dancing; Ber-
deva Gradberg, Hiking; Dorothy Jean Lawson, Tumbling; Erlean Caswell, Tennis;
Billie Burrill, Golf; and Jerry Hanon, Fencing. We congratulated ourselves on
our fine start for the school year.

CARLSTROM DE SIGNOR STEVENS PRANGE

GOLF CHAMPS

Maintaining the championship record or J.J.C. with an unbroken row of vic-
tories, the local golf team collected a conference title and a course record. The team
won all its matches and was awarded two defaults.

Outstanding among the players was Russell Stevens who cracked the Woodruff
course record with a sensational 65. Mark Furnas and Ernie DeSignor came
through in top form to cop all their matches. Frank Prange, number four man,
also won his share of honors.

Look in the J.J.C. trophy case and note the number of golf awards. There are
five, one of which is the most graceful and beautiful award on the shelves. It is an
exquisitely fashioned golden golfer, made a permanent possession of J.J.C. through
the efforts of the links champions last spring. Basketball glories tend to overshadow
the golfing triumphs, but due appreciation should be accorded these athletes. The
game requires supreme coordination combined with strength and judgment to win
tournaments.

The members of the squad have established a precedent that successors will find
difficult to equal. A solid string of wins coupled with a course record is an achieve-
ment worthy the envy of any group of professionals. The champions have been
modest and unostentatious while acquiring this coveted record.

Saturday. May 1 1, the golf team won the state championship in the junior college
conference. Individual highest honors went to Carlstrom, with Stevens next, and
DeSignor, third.

Hail to the conquerors of the links !

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE"

"Pride and Prejudice, Helen
Jerome's well known Broadway
hit, was presented on November
17, 1 939, under the very capable
direction of Miss Esther Schwer-
man, a newcomer to our faculty.
John Marchi was the assistant
director. The proceeds of the
play went to the Junior College
Loan Fund.

The conflicts within the play
all sprang from question of rank.
1 he various natures of the three
Bennet girls (Jean Fargo. Jean
Jeffords, and Helen Weeks), their
parents (Dara Prew and Richard
Whitney), and their young men
(Robert Chappell, Lloyd Jeske.
Bill Johnson, Robert Drake, and
Robert Carv) were revealed in
clever dialogue through intimate
characterization.

The very excellence and the ex-
ternal qualities of the characters
made more emphatic the tem-
porary basis of the society in
which they dwelt — the upper mid-
dle class and the lower gentry of
England. Here was a world
where in a small domain the
squire or lord was absolute mas-
ter. Lady de Bourgh (Maxine
Moser) went forth to tell her
cottagers how to live.

FALL FORMAL

To the strains of Louis Panico s nationally-known orchestra (remember Lis trumpet
pouring out the "Wabash Blues "?) J.J.C. collegians danced Friday. November 24,
in the high school gym at the annual Fall Formal.

The large gym was transformed into a marine room, with large clusters of green
balloons all about, giving one the feeling of being surrounded by. oceanic plants,
and myriads of fish seemingly taking you further into the imaginary sea. Everyone
was there in time to snatch a souvenir from the rain of balloons that descended
upon the dancers during one of the dances. They came down by the hundreds like
bubbles from a disturbance on the surface of the sea. This was ray chance to take
out my pad and pencil and jot down some of the twosomes, and here are a few I
made a note of: Phyl Stone laughing with Frank Prange; Bob Rogers interested in
his companion, Grace McDowall; Bill Gahan with a former J.J.C co-ed. Ruin

'Headliner Dance

11

Mid newspapers and cartoons galore^from all schools and cities all over the
United States — the W.A.A. had the first real social event of the year, October 20,
in the girls gym — a Headliner Dance. The programs turned out to be little news-
papers. Placed above the orchestra stand was a large cartoon of the president,
Helen Weeks.

We saw ever so many couples that seemed to be enjoying themselves and paying
little or no attention to the slogan, "If you don't like your date, read the papers.
Among those enjoying the rhythms of the good music were Ruth Brennan and Bob
Mohr, Phyllis Stone and Larry McKeon, Ted Duncan and Isabel Anderson. Ray
Herbst and Boots Douglas. Margaret Haynes and Burr Young, Audrey Mansell and
Vernon Wiggell, and June Schiek and Jim Faulkner.

"Christmas Musical Tea

Special invitations were sent out to each member of the W.A.A. and her mother
to attend the Christmas musicale and tea. December 19. Against the setting of the
beautiful art glass window on the school auditorium stage the Triple Trio enter-
tained the mothers with Christmas carols.

Later, tea was served in the W.A.A. club room from tables attractively decorated
in silver and blue, with Dr. Marion K. Bowles and Mrs. C. L. Jordan pouring.

'Mother and Daughter Tea

??

For the event of the year we invited our Mothers to come and enjoy themselves at
our Mother and Daughter Tea, May 21. We met in the music room and saw
movies of Miss Wood s travels in Europe and also some on sport activities. Reports
were given by all of the heads of sports, and the W.A.A. awards were handed out.
We then had refreshments. Afterwards, starting for home everyone felt sorry to see
our last get-together of the W.A.A. come to an end. It was a happy ending, though,
for our 1959-40 W.A.A. social calendar.

When it came time for the
dancing to start, it took two
freshmen to come thru and
show their colors to start
things off>-Jean Jeffords and
Bob Cary. Among other
things, we noticed: Mark
Furnas and Jean Douglas do-
ing some fancy rug-cutting;
the cut-in gag being practiced
as never before; John Cryder
having trouble beginning his
speech (the clatter of the sil-
verware being purely acciden-
tal, of course); D. J. Lawson
and Jack Treadman weaving
in and out under the arms of
the dancers; and Mary Jane
Hobson very efficiently play-
ing the part of the Girl

"HICKS" SPORT DAY

The "Hicks" Sport Day. the bi-annual W.A.A.
playday, was held in the combined gymnasiums of
the high school on Saturday. March 16. 19-10.
Twenty couples from Aurora, LaSalle. f eru.
Wright, and Morton played progressive games
with twenty Joliet couples. The games included
badminton, shulfleboard. deck tennis, volleyball,
table golf, box hockey, sponge tennis, ping pong,
duck pin bowling, and darts.

After the sport program was completed, the
players changed their clothes and went up to the
school cafeteria for supper. A farm kitchen theme
prevailed, including kerosene lamps for lighting.
The meal was typical farm grub which included
nut cups filled with candy corn. After the supper

the farm hands were entertained by a dancer
and acrobat. After a few old time farm songs
they entered the hayloft for the Hayloft Swing.

Gingham and Jeans were in fashion, and to
Roy Gordon s music everyone became gentlemen
and lady farmers. The gym was turned into a
barnyard with straw, chickens, harness, milkpails,
and pitchforks doing the trick. Everyone had a
good time enjoying especially the phrase: Swing
yer partners!

The committee for the Hicks Sport Day con-
sisted of: Marian Lennon. general chairman, and
her committee: Helen Smith. Margaret Haynes.
Muriel Osborne. Elizabeth Douglas, and Isabel
Anderson.

Patricia Puffer, president; Robert Herath, vice-president; Ruth Geipel, secretary.
For the second semester they were: Clark Knowles, president; Andrew Danzero.
vice-president; and Kathryn Kirinich, secretary. Mr. Leinenweber was faculty

IN AND OUT

NEW YEARS EVE BALL

In the midst of many Christmas trees grouped all around the gym, several hundred students said
goodbye to 1959 and welcomed 1940 at the annual College "Y" New Year's Eve dance.

And oh, what a crowd! Everybody was there, and when we say everybody, that takes in a lot of
territory. Here are some of the folks I noticed as they flitted by: Kate Mitchell and Bill Elms; Mary
Fran Martin and Jack Decker; Kay Shutton and Bob Herath; Billie Burrill and Tommy Breen:
Dorothy Burr and Bob Wood; Margaret Haynes and Harold Hensold; Torrie Wright and Tom
Milligan; Alberta Johnson and Bob Hess; Bev Schorie and Gordon Peterson; Charlotte McGrew
and Art Rimmke.

And at midnight — what a madhouse!— confetti, noisemakers, crack the whips, and the like.
Twas a grand dance, followed by a wonderful year (so far).

SPORT HEADS

Coach Wills, in his twelve years
at this institution, has turned in
one of the smoothest records Joliet
has ever seen. His ability is de-
monstrated by the attitude of rival
schools who use. as a bible, the
phrase Beat Joliet.

For a successive number of
years Coach Wills has pointed his
team at the top and has occupied
that lofty position until J.J.C.
students think only in terms of
victory, and not effort and work.

But. whether J.J.C. wins every
title it seeks or loses, we still have
a champion in the man who is be-
hind all our athletic efforts. Hats
off to you. Coach!

years in J.J.C. He is noted for his graceful rebound and pivot plays.

Fore, says Captain DeSignor. Ernie led the J.J.C. boys through the fall golf season and expects
also to win the spring conference.

Shorty Fris, our star center fielder, made a name for himself in his freshman year, due to his con-
sistent batting. We are very fortunate to have him back with us. He is doing a splendid job as Captain
of our well-geared baseball team. Keep up the good work. Al.

Spring is here. Captain Canaday is gearing his team to a very high pitch. All we need now is a little
competition, and the championship will be ours.

Speed! and power! We have it. Captain Stephens has developed a few speedy trackmen this year
and has great hopes of entering them in the State Track Meet.

Jolict vs. Morion (Black out)

There is a first time for everything. ' After capturing the conference championship for eleven
consecutive years, this year the team dropped down temporarily to get its breath for the next
school year. I hen look out, opponents. 1 he Wolves will be on their way back.

Although they didn t win the title, the J.J.C. Quintet fought to the last minute — never losing
hope. We are also proud of the way the student body stood back of the team, even in time of defeat.

This year Joliet had one of its toughest schedules ever played. In this group were several new
four-year colleges, which increased the competition.

Throughout the season Joliet made a desperate attempt. Out of 27 games we won 17 and lost 10.
There was a total of 16 conference games, 10 of which we won.

The season saw six very prominent games played: DeKalb, St. Mary s, Illinois Wesleyan. Elm-
hurst, Hanover, and Rose Poly.

The regular Wolves team consisted of a dual combination: John Hogan, Fahrner, Smith, and
Webb, forwards; Peterson. Waznis, and Rimmke. guards; Bewersdorf and Moore at center.

ROLLER SKATING PARTY

From nine to twelve Saturday night, December 2, the Armory roared with the
sound of the roller skates of the Joliet Junior Collegians. Sponsored by the Co-Ed
Board, the evening was lilled with fun and tumbles. Featured on the skating
program were such favorites as the couple skate, advance skate, girls choice,
and tag skate.

We saw Bob Marchi trying his hardest to break his partners neck during one
of the earlier moments of the party; Pat Puffer taking the man at his word when
he blew the whistle and said to stop skating — she did, but not right side up; the
Marg Haynes, Jean Jeffords, and B Lennon trio enjoying each other s company
and giving no male skaters a "tumble "; Jimmy Duguid and Sonny Herkert. holy
terrors of the evening, nearly knocking everyone down with their weaving in and
out; George Volling and Jean Douglas arriving rather late; and amiable Chuck
Scully having a fine time and giving all the girls a thrill by skating with them
one and all.

When the sign Ring in your skates " was posted, no one seemed ready to depart,
but they finally complied with the order, only to find themselves on imaginary
skates. And the next day— oh, were we stiff!

TENNIS

This year our tennis team was forced to swing into tlie conference without any
practice. It is hoped that J.J.C. will have an indoor tennis court in the near future.

Our team was composed of four players: Donald Canaclay (Capt.), Neal Berst.
Howard Wolstecl. and John Barnes, all playing in the singles. The two doubles
teams were composed of Don Canaday and Neal Berst, and Howard Wolsted and
John Barnes.

J.J.C. had to admit defeat to Morgan Park. 2-1; Wright. 5-0; and Wilson, 3-2.
We beat North Park by a score of 4-1.

STATE BASKETBALL TOUBNAMENT

Now for the second year the state finals were played without the J.J.C. Wolves.
The J.J.C. quintet lost its first state tournament game to North Park by a score
of 39-51.

During the Stale tournament, J.J.C. was under a big handicap. Fred Bewersdorf
was out, due to sickness, and Gordon Peterson attempted to play with a
broken wrist.

Next year the State tournament will be held on our home floor, which may be a
stimulus to the Wolves.

BASEBALL

The baseball team was composed of twelve freshmen and two sophomores. Every
player did a good job of his work. Coach Wills claimed that J.J.C. had about
three of the best pitchers in Joliet: Bewersdorf, Webb, and Waznis. Kearn's,
Webb, Stevens, and Smith were really dependable hitters, batting over 400. As
we went to press, several games of the schedule were yet to be played.

So far J.J.C. had played seven games, winning four and losing three.

J.J.C. has shown a little more interest in track this year. Coach Wills has
planned to enter three of our boys in the state track meet this spring.

The track team is composed of three speedy fellows: Captain Bill Stephens.
George Rodgers, and Robert Herath.

For next year Coach Wills has bigger and better plans for track, and is going to
make a desperate attempt to cop the state meet.

SPRING FORMAL

The Spring Formal took place this year on May 5. The combined gyms were
turned into an old Dutch garden, and the effects were very quaint. Andy Hanson s
orchestra from the University of Illinois furnished the dance music — really a treat.

Everyone was there, the girls in their new pastels, and, indeed, everyone had a
fine time. Here are a few of those attending: Dick Oldani, twirling Betty Fischer
round and round; Louie Hedstrom and Mary Fran Gleason catching everyone s eye
as they jitter/bugged; B Lennon and Ian Crabbe, deep in a dream ( er sum-
thin !!); Dave Hummel at his first school dance with I hyllis Stone; Scoop Cary
and Izzy Anderson together again. And goodness knows, ever so many more.
Just the best dance of the year.

W. A. A. PICNIC

The annual YV.A.A. picnic was held this year in May at the Inwood picnic
grounds.

The girls enjoyed playing golf, tennis, baseball, badminton, and archery. They
also had great fun by going back to their kid days and by playing on the swings
and the other playground equipment.

After supper, which was a weiner roast, the members roasted marshmallows and
sang songs that were popular, classical, and nonsensical.

FAREWELL BANQUET

The farewell banquet was given Tuesday, June 4, in the Central Presbyterian
Church. The freshman president. Grace McDowall, gave the farewell address,
and George Lehr, sophomore president, made the response.

George Wiswell was the toastmaster, and a good one.

The highlight of the evening was a ghost skit, showing and telling what had
happened to all of the sophomores during their career here.

Farewell to the sophomores, and good luck.

MIX-OR-SWING

The Co-ed Board sponsored a very successful Mix-or-Swing, January 5. in the
girls gym. Following a walk-away college game. The game put everybody in a
lestive mood, and this helped to make the Mixer very successful. Many mixer
dances were he'd, and also a prize waltz and lucky spot dance. Winners of the
prize waltz were Isabel Anderson and Art Anderson. Judges were Mr. and Mrs.
George Sprague and Mr. and Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Jordan presented the winners
their prizes. Jack Hogan and Dorothy Berlinsky won the Lucky Spot dance, but
they were too bashful to come up to the mike to be interviewed by the School
Snooper, (never thought we d see the day when either Jack or Dorothy would turn
shy on us). Jack got the wrong prize, however. — a ladies handkerchief, which he
gave to his mother. Some alumni students attended the party as did several high
school students.

If a boy wanted to cut in. there were brooms with horses' heads on them, and
he would dance over to the girl he wanted to dance with, hand the boy she was
dancing with the broom, and proceed to dance until someone else cut it. But after
a while regular cutting became legal, and that's when the fun began. A girl danced
about two steps with a boy, and somebody cut in. After all this, refreshments were
served, and the party broke up, everyone believing lie had had a wonderful time.

As another school year approaches its close and graduation time nears, another
Sophomore Class of the Joliet Junior College prepares to enter forth into the world
of turmoil. This group of students, who for the past two years have been working
more or less in unison with each other, will now he separated, each going his or her
own way. Some will further their education by attending various colleges and uni-
versities, while others will immediately adapt themselves to the type of work for
which they have prepared. But whether they go on to school or enter the realm of
business, it is quite certain that each individual student will try to do the thing
which appeals to him the most and which will enable him to make the most out of
his opportunities.

It is the duty of the Sophomore Class to assume some of the major responsibilities
of leadership in the school. In this way they can show the freshmen the type of
work that is to be clone, the way in which social activities are managed, and in
general lead the freshmen through an apprenticeship by which they may be the
capable leaders of the succeeding year.

I bus. as graduation time approaches, the Sophomores of J.J.C. prepare to start
out in the world, leaving behind them memories of achievements which any class
would be proud to possess.
