" .'-.... - "­ .. .. - .,-- _ . ---- ====~....------:~ - ~-~. ~'-.~===-======-~ ~ . ~ III I Upper Classmen II I I IIII I " II I I I HE present Junior Class of the College of the City of Detroit has the distinction of being the first one since the creation of the four-year college. I T I t has reason to feel especially honored because it includes in its class membership those who have actuall y aided in making the four-year college a reality so soon. '

The officers of the class a re: President, Donald Leonard ; Vice-President, Florence \iVi lson; Secretary, Veni t Fair; a nd Treasurer, Raymond Pillsbury. Donald Leonard has been president of his Class for the last three years. Part of t he enthusiasm behind hi s election this year was due to a general appreciation of his work at Lansing in behalf of the college.

Eight members of the Student Council were drawn from the Junior Class. The Student Council representatives of the class are: Donald Leonard, ex officio ; Russell Lightbody; Robert Ross ; Florence Ellis; Eva Newton ; Florence Uj) vVilson ; Marion Pillsbury, a nd Cameron Cunningha m.

(/) Because of the comparatively small size of the class, it has entered li ttle into rd inter-class activi ties. It has not, however, lacked spirit on t hi s account.' The . ¢ Junior Class acted as umpire for the Annual Flag Rush at Bell e Isle. The success L) of t he J -Hop alone shows what the Juniors can do. They are loyal supporters of t he various school activities. M any of the coll ege athletes came from this class. The Glee Clubs, the Dramatic Arts Society, t he Women's Self- Government ~ Association, and other organi zations have active members among the upper o classmen. This year the publication of the college "Annual" has been placed -----i' in the hands of the Junior Class. ~ All disappointment over havin g the First Annual J -Hop in school was wiped away the evening of April eleventh. The women's gymnasium was beautifully § ~ camouflaged into a dancer's paradise. The decorations, the refreshments, t he music, the exquisite attire of the dancers, all added to the attractiveness of the occasion . Miss J essie Whitman directed the grand march, which was the big even t of the evening. The ligh ts and shadows, cast over the dancers, len tan artisitc charm. Even to the dainty perfume favors, every possible detail was added to • .give pleasure to guests a nd dancers alike. M a ny alumni were present. The event wi ll make a lasting impression upon all who were there.

The usefulness of a municipal college in Detroit, gra nting a Bacheror of Arts degree is plainly evident in the present Upper Class of the college. A la rge number of these students are either partia ll y or wholly self-supporting. Some are even supporting others while working for their degrees. Most of these students would find it either impossible or exceedingly inconvenient to finish college elsewhere, If I some being held in the city because of business interests, and some because of I other conditions just as binding.

After a warm struggle, the following emerged as I­ I T victors to lead t he class in its activities : Alex Murray, President; Ruth i I Lehman, Vice-President ; Mary G ussin , Secretary; Ray PelTing, Treasurer. Alex Murray, Edward M a rtinek, Mary Gussin and Maria n Huston were chosen to represent the cl ass on the Student Council. \iVith a working organization, the Sophomore class was ready to take its place in school affairs. First came the inter-class can tests. The t raditional Soph­ Frosh Flag Rush and Tug-of-War at Belle Isle was indication of the sportsman­ ship of the cl ass. Frosh class spirit ran hi gh, but the Sophs won both the Tug-of­ \iVa r a nd the F lag Rush. In the football and basket ball contests the Sophomore cl ass did not fa re so well. The football score stood 7-0 favor of the Frosh. Like­ wise the basket ball score was 24- 19 in favor of the Frosh. Asid e from these general activities of the cl ass as a whole, vari ous members of the class have distingui shed themselves. Ruth Lehman as president of the Vi . S. G. A.; T ed E nglish as president of the Student Club; a nd Russell Smith as president of the Dramatic Arts Society. The staff of the Coll egia n, both ed~to ri a l and reportorial, is composed largely of Sophomores.

The D. A. S. pl~ oduction of the "Truth About Blayds" featured several Sopho­ ,$ophomore mores in the cast. In like manner the school opera, "Naughty M ari etta" gave many Sophomores an opportunity to display their talents. These are but the (I et,5$ hi gh spots among the numerous activities engaged in by Sophomores. H owever, t he biggest event of the year-a sort of c1im a,x of events-was the Sophomore Prom held in the college gymnasium, Saturday evening, March 11, 1924, a fitting send-off to a spring vacation. The decorations and programs were carried out in black and white, checker­ board a nd domino design. The feature of the evening was a dance by Ruth Cli ver and J ack Oliver, and here, too, the black and white scheme was used in their costumes. The " Prom" was a splendid success due to the support which the class gave to the committees in charge. The chairman of these committees were as follows : Marian Huston, Program; Thelma Seibert, Refreshments; Tom Sage, F loor ; F rances McCormick, Invitations; George Miller, Door; Al Litzenburger, Tickets; Dorothy Mallory, Publicity; T ed Rogvoy,. Advertising; Bud Howell, Decorations; George Relyea, Music; 'vVinifred Sample, Features. The guests of honor for the evening were: Dean a nd Mrs. M acKenzi e; Mr. A MURRI1'f a nd Mrs. Da rn ell ; Mr. arid Mrs. Baldwin; Mr. and Mrs. Osborn; Dr. ~ll1d Mrs. C. G. Lehman; Mr. and Mrs. Neil W . Murray, Mr. and Mrs. M. W . Gussin; Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Miss Chase aild Miss Gardner. The class closed its events for the year by conducting a r eg ul ~ r \iVednesday assembly early in June. Individuall y and as a whole the Class of '26 has had a very successful year. 1111 ~H~Arthur Miller Techla Rosenbusch Thompson Al e Sarah Cohen Alfred Glazer Leland Jones Thomas Judson George Miller Thomas Sage J 0 1111 Armstrong Clifford Colwell Arthur Goble Benj amin Cooper William J uongling Samuel Miller M ax Saidma n M eyer Ascher Sam Goldstein Natha n Salutsky H azen Atherton Dennis Cooper Cha rles Gooze H erma n Kass Jack Milligan Leo Kell y Leonard Milling Wesley Sauve Horace Atkin M ary Connor Wallace Gordon Virginia Bacon Florence Coughlin Harry Gorelick H enry Keough E lena Mitcoff Winifred Sample Sam Croll Marion Gowans H arry Kief Alexander Murray Dorothy Sanford Dorothy Baker Howard Kirschbaum Edward Baker Lewis Cromwell Harriett Grace Willia m Murray Gladys Sauer Samuel Baker Zolton Deak Nelle Gratton William Klei n Vivian Myers Olive Saunders ' Emil Klewer Arnold Baragar H arold Dempster Evelyn Gray J oseph Nadler Theodore Schafer David Knox Charles Nathanson Ludlow Barnes Wilfrid Dempster Ja mes Griffiths Celi a Schl afer 'Willard Bates Helen Deu tsch Caroll Grigsby D avid Koretz Eva Newton G il bert Schoen fi eld Effie Dick Winifred Guest Sidney Koretz Ruth N ielson Esther Schott Bessie Bayne Phillip Nodler vVilliam Bedell Matt Dinan Jack G ulas M escisla us Kreda Thelma Seibert J oseph DiNatale Waldo Gutowsky Carl Kreu tziger Frances Norton Alta Seibert John Benkelman Stanl ey Oates Sam Schulma n Grace Benedict Frank Diskin Doris Hafner J oseph Kurcz Joseph Kurland Ray O'Brien Cha rl es Schumm Queenie Berkowi tz Orpha Doll Robert Hagen 11 Archie Lambke ~vVa lt er O'Neil Roland Schwab Gerald Bernath Stanl ey Dombrowski William Hake E ugeni a Douglas Ada H all Stanton La ngs J ohn Ott Edwin Scott Geraldine Bernd t H elen Pa rker Lawrence Scott V\1il son Betzner Ben Dovitz Willia m Hall J ohn Larson Lawrence Duncan Fred H amm Robert Leacock Willia m Patterson William Seitz Louise Bonney F lorence Leonard Cecil Pearl Harry Seli gson Edwin Bookmiller H enry Dunlap Joyce Hammond Bigham Eblen Doris H annah Earl Levine Ma urice Pearlstein Geraldine Sell ers Walter Boughner Ferris Lewis Thomas Penhale Edith Sessions Loomi s Bouton John E blen Komuria H arden Norman Edelman Leonard Ha rding M aria n Levy Theodore Peppo Isadore Shulak Alfred Bowman John Libcke Raymond PelTing Herman Simms Christi a n Breest David Edelstein Forbes Hascall Samuel Eder E laine Henry Abe Lichtblow Tommye Perry Willia m Skinner Tack Brickner Theodore Liefeld True Pettingill Stanley Sledzinski j uani ta Bristol Gladys Eesley J a mes H enwood T ed E nglish K athl een Higgins Orvill Linck Evelyn Pfaehler Harold Smeed W illis Brooks Albert Litzenburger H arry Phillips Robert Smiley Charles Brown Lillian Estrin Gordon Hill J ohn Ettinger Harold Hiscock Gerald Loewe Ba lfour Philp Eberle Smi th J acob Brown J ames McAlpine Lionel Pickhaver Norman Smith Samuel Brown Alexander Evans Richard Hitchins Minna Faust Russell Hi tt Keith M cCullough K enneth Pierce Russell Smi th J oseph Brownlee Howard M cFarlane Ned P iggins M abel Snowdon H arry Bullock Ali ce Felske Virgini a Hobbs Lynn Ferris Walter Holcroft Stella McGrath Duncan Pirie Celia Sosenski Elizabeth Burton F loyd M cNeil Ali ce Porter Helen Sosnowski Carol Bush Rollin Fiero Bernard Holland Samuel Firestone Ha rlen Holt Betty M cPhail Helen Porter Rosemary Stackpoole Victor Calcaterra G race McPherson N orman Flaherty Carl H olzha uer Jerome Prag Lunette Star Virginia Callard Kenneth McKenzie Doris Pringle M orris Stein Alexandria Cameron David Flayer Raleigh Hoover Eleanor Horny Henry Maicki Aaron Priebe Colin Stevens J a net Cant Stell a Fleming Robert Proudfoot Ruth Flenner Virginia Houston John Maier Dorothy Stewart W al ter Carey Dorothy M allory Dorothy Pudrith E ugene Stewart Louis Cashdan Eldred Fraser Elmer Howell J ohn Humphries Louis M anason Robert Purdon Wesley Stewart Henry Chall John Fraser Dewey Putney vVilmer Freeman Doris Hustedt Kenneth Marentette Donald Strohschein Ruth Chambers M a rk M arcotte Juliette Raphael David Suttkers M arie Frutig Marian Huston Walter Channing Charles Martinek Bessie Raths Glenn Swanson Cla rence Chapman Albert Frumin J ohn Hutchinson Gwendolyn Charl es N orman Gable George Hutter M a rvin M aten J Ose ph Reid H arry Tapperman Gregorio Chatonner Alfred Galecki Roy H yland H elen Maynard N a than Reisman Clarice Tapson Lillian Chevillot Calvin Galloway Esther Ide Victori a Mears George Relyea Nelson T aylor Viola Chubb Phillip.

The Department of Pharmacy I The problem of educatin g the young would-be pha rmacists was getting to be I q uite a serious one. The onl y educational requirement for a pharmacist had been a hi gh school education and four years of practical experience in a drug store, which could have been obtained while the appli cant was going to schooL If t his pla n were not carried out by the student , he could spend two years in high school, two in a pha rmacy continuation school, which was nothing more than a t rade school, and two years behind the prescription counter. This is insuffic ient prepa ration for a cl ass of workers who have the health of the public in t heir hands. Attempts were made to elevate pharmacy courses of instruction to two or three years of learning in a recognized coll ege. vVit h this in v iew, t he Detroit City College of Pha rmacy was established in the Fa ll of 1922, with qua rters a t Cass T echnical High School. Among the facul ty of t he infant college were: Messrs. Bradt, Crandall, Zindler, Kratz, and Watts, in cha rge of the pharmaceutical subjects ; Messrs. '. Fleck, Chostner, and 'Nilson, chemical instructors ; Miss Ackley, physiology and anatomy; M essrs. Wright a nd Washington, English; Miss Bailey, bacteri­ ology. E nrollments the fi rst semester numbered 22. These soon were reduced at the end of the semester, onl y 20 remained. Of these, 20 enrolled in the second semester, and 18 fini shed t he year. The third semester found 15 of the older pupils enrolled, while at the present time only 12 of that memorable first class remain. The second semester brought more students. At t he end of this semester difficulties arose with the Board of Education, which were to alter the fu ture of t he College greatly. The expense of such a n instit ution as ours was tremendous, I!\ a nd the Boa rd felt that t he people of our fair city should not be burdened by such an added cost to their already heavy load . When t he time for the enroll­ ment for the second year came, word was received that t he school was to be disba nded . But owing to t he vigil ant work of in terested people, this verdict was changed to existence, but under the banner of the College of Medicine. Now, as pharmacists and doctors are to some extent natural enemies, this was not a very good move, so t he students organized , had petitions signed by drug­ gists to t he effect that t he department again be independent . This was later granted, but a t ui tion fee of $145 per year was fo und necessary for its con­ t inuation . Then, toward t he cl ose of t he t hird semester, the student body was notified that the Detroit City Coll ege of Pha rmacy was defunct , and tha t which existed was to be operated under the name of t he Depa rtment of Pha rmacy of the College of the City of Detroit. This was a very good move, and well liked by t he student body as well as the faculty. At present, courses of instruction pertaining strictly to pha rmacy are given at Cass, while general courses a re given a t City College. vVhen the enrollment of classes reaches fi fteen for each class, this will be changed , and all of the sub­ jects will be ta ught at Cass, or t he building in which the school of pharmacy is to have its permanent home.

The aim of the Council is to create a personal contact between the faculty and students. I \iVi th the extension of the two-year junior coll ege course to that of a full four-year college course, the Constitution of the Council had to be amended to allow representation from the Junior and Senior classes. E lection of officers was held at the beginning of the fall semester, and Donald S. Leonard was unanimously re-elected President. Florence M. \iVilson was chosen Secretary, and Mr. Selden was appointed faculty advisor. The selection of a standard pin for the College of the City of Detroit was one of the first undertakings of the Council. Several designs were submitted, and the one considered most suitable was chosen, a green block D on a gold background. The Council also selected school stationery, which has been very popular and much in demand. One of the successful features of the year has been t he matinee dances, which have greatly helped to promote a feeling of friendship among the student body. These were held on Friday afternoons, and the success of these parties was evident by the crowds which attended. The past year, the Student Council was successful in securing two very interesting speakers for the school. Sheriff \iValters gave an interesting talk on crime, at one of the weekly college assemblies. The other speaker was Hamilton Holt, the celebrated publicist, who lectured on the World Court. Although this was held in the afternoon, an unusual hour for a lecture, the auditorium was crowded. .. The annual Frosh Frolic was held on November 3, under the auspices of the Student Council for the purpose of initiating the Freshmen into school spirit . The gymnasium was gaily decorated and proved an appropriate setting for the numerous masqueraded couples who assembled there. Merriment prevailed. And, at such a sight, the efforts of the Counci l were not in vain. Under the supervision of the Student Council, the annual Flag Rush and Tug-of-\iVar, between the Sophomores and Freshmen, was held at Belle Isle on November 9. In the evening, a dance was given in the college gymnasium, celebrating the event of the afternoon. At the close of the football season, the Student Council gave the annual banquet in honor of the team. Coach Holmes acted as toastmaster. The speakers of the evening were: Mrs. Laura F. Osborn, a member of the Board of Educa­ tion ; Representative Burns, of the State Legislature; Mr. Albertus Darnell, Assistant Dean of the Coll ege; Ike Iler, a former J . c. football star, who is now attending Michigan; Donald S. Leonard, .President of the Student Council ; and Albert Litzenburger, captain of the football team. Letters were awarded mem- bers of the team, and Willard Bates, newly elected captain, was introduced. A dance in the gymnasium followed the banquet. The annual Field Day was held at Bob-lo on June 6. The planning of this outing was the last social activity in which the Council' participated. Athletic games and contests of all kinds took place, not to mention dancing and eating­ two pastimes essential at a picnic. 1 Few students realize the responsibilities of the Council. It is a vital factor 1111 1111 .'

The Student Club, with its varied program of service to the coll ege and com­ munity, has again passed t hrough a year marked by the success of all its under­ takings, some of which were traditional, a nd others so new as to be classed as ex peri men tal. The event known as the " Men's Mixer" belongs to the first class and, following the usual custom, took place soon after the opening of each semester. I t accomplished its purpose of bringing the incoming freshmen into contact with the upper classmen and helping to create a bond of fellowship between the' old and new men. During the spring semester, a vocational guidance week was held. Many prominent Detroi tel's, who have made a name for t hemselves in various lines of work, were brought to the college to address students on the advantages and disadvantages of their different professions. Club rooms were maintained in the building on the northeast corner of Cass and vVarren. Here many students passed their leisure hours. A piano, phono­ graph, checker boards, games, typewriter, and magazines are always available. Discussion groups held at the club rooms during t he fall semester proved popular. These discussions deal with both general and student problems. The Student Club basketball team had a hi ghly successful year, taking second place in the intramural league. Following tradition, the handbook was published and sold to the student body. Delegates were sent to conferences at Indianapolis, Ann Arbor, and Lake Geneva, ' iVisconsin. At Thanksgiving time, over fifty dollars was raised by subscription from the student body and faculty, and six needy families were well provided with food . Members of the club, leading groups for underprivileged boys, keep in touch with over five hundred scattered throughout the city. Many meetings for the members took place at the club rooms, and during the year several successful suppers were given, with interesting programs. The cabinet held regular weekly meetings. At the opening of the first semester, the cabinet spent a week-end at Gibraltar, Michigan, where the year's work was outlined. At the beginning of the second semester, a supper was held at the home of Mrs. ' iV heatley, for which the club will always be indebted. , Officers for the past year were: President, Ted English; Vice-President, I' George Jefferies; Secretary, Hazen Atherton; Treasurer, Walter Carter.

I II I I Women's Self-Government Association

IVE years ago the women of City College (Junior College then) found that their Scandal Club offered too narrow a scope for their activities. F Its headquarters were in Room 128 which became known as the " H ouse of Scanda l. " The " House" buzzed continua ll y with all sorts of information from gossip itself, light and spicy, to more portentous 'rumors of discontent . Other colleges had Women's Leagues ; why should not this one? ,

Spurred on by this desire they sought information, and one evening, Miss Lucy E liott of this city, a 1903 Michigan graduate, gave a talk on the Michi gan \iVomen's Association. E nthusiasm grew and shortly thereafter elections were held , and under the presidency of Joyce McCurdy, the Women's Self-Govern­ ment Association of Detroit City College came into being. This firs t year, 1919-1920, saw the building up of the league and t he establishment of standards a nd ideals.

The following year, 1920-1921, Miriam Reid succeeded Joyce M cCurdy as president ; Thelma Wiegand served in that capacity in 1921-1922; then Dorothy Pudrith in 1922-1923. This last yea r, 1923-1924, Ruth Lehma n has fill ed t he office, a nd the 1924-1925 president elect is M arian Huston.

All these officers have been women of ability and leadership. The league has been very fortunate in its choice of executives during these significant, formative years.

The last year has been full of success and activity. It has marked a new step in the progress of the Association, for it is dl!ring the last few months that plans for a League House have been created.

In any coll ege a League House for its women is one of the prime necessities, both because of its immense significance as a factor in the social li ves of the women, and for the unifying influence it bears. Situated in t he peculiar condi­ tions of City College with no campus and no dormitories the need is more emphatic than ever. M any of the later activities of the year had for their ai m the raisin g of funds to make a League House possible.

The season opened with a house party at Grosse Isle, a few weeks after t he beginning of the semester. A fall house party was an innovation, purposed to acquaint the incoming freshmen, and to create t he spirit of comradeship. It was for this party that Little Sisters were chosen, and t hey remained paired off with their Big Sisters until J anuary when the new term necessitated a second forma tion of such relationships.

III' II The new term occasioned a second mixer which Big a nd Li t tle Sisters attended I I I together. In February the 'Women's Federation Building was the scene of a George \iVas hi ngton T ea, a nd late in M ay, of a M other's T ea. , I I The 'vV. S. G . A. Annual Da nce was held M ay 3 in a gymnasium beautifully tra nsformed into what it was not wi th soft green moss and lovely fl owers. M en in whi te t rousers led summery girls to encha nting music at the most cha rming of parties. The second house party was t he scene of much mi schief a nd merriment wi th canoeing on Lake Orion a nd dancing at Park Isla nd for good measure.

In addition to these activities of t he League as a whole, the vari ous advisory groups engaged in one form of activity or another to raise money for the League House. Among t he everlts were a Bridge T ea a t the \Vomen's Federation building in M ay , a marionette show wi th t he T atterman M arionettes in t he school a uditorium, candy, baked goods, and pop corn, a nd a T ea Room at school on Open N ight, and a Fashion Show. In answer to a recurrent dema nd for an association pin t he league adopted a small guard bearing the initials of the organi zation to be worn with the offi cial school pin. Altogether the activities of this fifth year have been happily and successfull y guided by its president Ruth Lehman, and her staff , together with Miss E. W . B. Chase, Advisor of women, and the two new advisors, Mrs. Keal and Miss Metcalf. The foundations of t he City College 'vVomen's Association are being laid so undly and permanently. In this stimulating record of accomplishment the president-elect, Ma rian Huston, will find an incentive and inspiration to still further accomplishment in t he coming year.

~ 53 52 / I II I " I I Dramatic Arts I In the rush of the activities of the year, the Dramatic Arts Society has kept pace with other organizations; for, however varied the interests of the college I are, dramatics always playa prominent part. I Though much of the effort of the society has been concentrated on plays given only before the Dramatic Arts Society, these plays merely serve an end to produce the talent for the outside plays and the big t hree-act production which have their place in the D. A. S. program each year. "The Truth About Blayds," by A. A. Milne, scored a big success on January 18 , when it was presented before an enthusiastic audience. The part of the poet, Blayds, about whom the "truth" was discovered, was played by Emil Klewer; while the aged poet's youngest daughter Isobel, who has devoted her life to the care of her father, was portrayed by Helene Hermann, who with John Ott in the role of an admirer of old Blayds, on A. L. Royce, constituted the pair around whom was woven the love theme. The others in the cast were Marion Blayds-Conway, the eldest daughter of Blayds, a "dear foolish woman," portrayed by Doris Sellick; her husband, a typical English husband, portrayed by Arthur Johnson ; their daughter Septima, and their son, Oliver, played by Nelle Gratton and Russell Smith, who represented the younger generation and I II refused to be awed by their poet grandfather. Though the number of public productions is very small, opportunity is given all the members to take part in drama tic work at the meetings. The casts this year have been especially marked by the great number of members used in them. Plays of both serious and farcical nature were presented. Among the serious ones were the Death Scene from Henrik Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," put on by Emil Klewer and Zelda Medvedov.

Song," written by Anton T chekov and put on by Emil Klewer; and. "The Wound," presented by Edward Van Horn, Sarah Medvedov, and Zelda Medvedov The majority of the plays, however, were of a lighter and more frivolous nature.

Gas House Gang

P from the depths comes the noise of shouting, the rhythm of music, U and a thin wisp of smoke ascends from the crevices in the ground, rising ribbon-like towards t he skies above. M en no longer wear the unnatural girlish bob and t he tender downy sideburns of yesterday. A junior coll ege has become a city college. High school emblems and glori es of the past are lost in t he work and joys of t he present. And all tl)e while t he sweet pungent odor of incense creeps up from t he coal hole towards the blue skies above. But the poetic spirit of t he Gas H ouse must be held in ·restraint. Cause and effect must not be confu sed. H ence the hi story of the Gas House Gang as it is today. In the year 1919 a di sheartening reaction set in from a cruel and brutal war. In t he pl ace of the ma nl y walk of a gentleman and schola r one saw the swaying lil tin g glide of the sleek male fl apper. In the place of the army pompadour appeared the long hair of a Valentino; and the clothes of men were replaced by gli ttering concoctions resembling glorified matador's costumes with silken shirts ancl braided trousers. A fe\¥ far-sighted gentlemen, wishing to perpetuate the brotherhood of man, banded together, and t he Gas H ouse Gang was organized. Corduroy t rousers ancl fl annel shirts appeared in direct contrast to the dress of the "sheik." Soon men began to dress and act as men again . The work of the buckskin shirt was done; but the work of the gang was just beginning. A Junior College must be brought through the stage of adolescence to seniority.

~ III I ~ I I I I! I IIII French Club

The French Club has been noted for many years because of its program of providing for the college French students many new and novel opportunities of hearing spoken F rench. Holding t his benefi cial program in view, the club has just completed a truly remarkable year. During the fall semester, ma ny speakers were brought from t he University of M'ichigan and elsewhere to address the club in F rench. Professors Clavel, Rovillain, and Vibbert of t he U. of M ., and M ademoisell e M a rgueri te Clement of the University of Paris each gave addresses at one of t he mont hly meetings which were held on Wednesdays at four o'clock. In order to provide some social life among the members of the cl ub, a Christmas party was given la te in December. A short playlet was given, French songs were sung, a nd French games were played . Refreshments and dancing followed. The activities of the cl ub during the spring semester 'were confi ned largely to a t heatrical program, which was presented in the school auditorium, F riday, M ay 9th. T his was the fi rst time that the French Club had attempted to pro­ duce anything on so large a scale, but the resul ts were very praiseworthy. Two acts of the F rench comic opera, "Mignon," were given by a cast which included Virginia H obbs, Ruth Cli ver, Patty W oodford, Cha rles Shaw, Russell Smith, Orville Lincl'-i J ack Oliver, and Cha rles Turk. Bessye Walker entertained between plays\v:ith a dance ent itled, "Under the Stars." A short one-act play, "The M aid of France," given in E nglish, was the second number. It was playeQ by M arion Lovett, Carl Baldwin, D uncan Cameron, and Richard Kelley. The conclusion of the program consisted of four scenes from Rostand's drama, "L'Aiglon." The French department faculty took this part of t he program. M adame de Marivetz had the title role. Of in terest to the F rench Club was the a nnouncement which came jus( as t he Annual was going to press that Arthur J ohnson, a member of t he club, was sailing for F rance in July to take the work of his Junior year a t the U ni­ versity of Paris. He is doing t hi s as a member of t he Foreign Study Group organi zed by t he University of Delaware. Appoin tment to t his group came usto\\' t hrough the influence of Miss Grace Hill, head of the F rench department.' Miss Hill will also be able to recommend students for the group which will leave in July, 1925, a nd is very anxious that a small group of City College students IP"'t~'~ nch (1 ub be qualified to go. Those who go stay an entire year in France . The membership of the club incl udes practicall y all students of F rench in the college, so t he club boasts of being the largest in the college.

T wo plays in Spani sh, a lecture on Spain and South Ameri ca, and a pa rty foll owed by a dinner at t he "Centro Espa nol," an exclusive Spa nish Club, are t he outstanding events of t he year for El Circulo Cervantes. \i\Tendel Chick was at the helm for t he first semester, 'wi t h H elen Thompson Vice-president- Victori a M ears in the secreta ry's chair, and M aurice Ayers as treasurer. For the first semester, the executive council members were Abraham Levine, H elen -Scrymgeour. The offi cers for the second semester were: \i\Talter O'N eil , presiden t ; Viol a Chubb, vice-president; Grace McPherson, secretary; a nd J ack Milligan, treasurer. H elen Thompson a nd Ma urice Ayers were elected to t he executive council , Miss Blanche Goodell and Senor Jua n de Gomar a re t he facul ty advisors.

One of the pl ay~as produced by the members of the clu b, a nd the other was brought to Detroi t from the Uni versity of Michigan through the effor ts of the City College club. The local production was "Sin Querer," by Benavente, a nd was successful as a production, and educational in teaching the st udents Spani sh ·c u ~t om s . The U. of M. Sociedad Hispa nica brought -their play, " Done Clarines, " to City College during the second semester. The famous Quintero .brothers were the authors of this modern comedy of manners. Inasmuch as the cast contained several who had been students of Spanish for four or fi ve years, the play was, of course, superior to that by local talent. The performa nce attracted students from the hi gh schools and Spa ni ards of the city. At the party at the "Centro Espanol," the students became acquainted with Spanish cooking, and by holding business meetings in Spani sh are fa milia rizing t hemselves with conversational Spani sh.

Collegian

VERY university and college of any importance has its regular student , publication which exists for the purpose of recording the kaleidoscopic events E of college life and reflecting the fluctuating student opinion in the institu­ tion, The Collegian, a four-page newspaper appearing every Wednesday, serves t his purpose for the College of the City of Detroit, Written and edited by students, it aims to record as faithfully as possible the events of the college together with a certain amount of editorial comment, interpretive material, and newspaper features to entertain the reader. A well-organized staff from last year took charge of the paper at the beginning . of the Fall semester and quickly got out a first issue on Wednesday, September 26. This began the weekly succession of Collegians which has gone on to the present time, broken only by holidays, Finding that the newspaper form of publication was not particularly , dapted to the publishing of purely literary material, the editors decided to put out a Collegian Literary Supplement in magazine form similar to a Literary Supplement issued in June, 1923. All the students of the college were invited to submit li terary contributions, and for the work oc" judging manuscripts and editing the Supplement a special staff was appointed, consisting of Mary Gussin, Marion Huston, Kenneth \iVickware, ,George Davis, and Elmo Ecker. A sixteen page Literary Supplement appeared on January 21 and was an artistic and financial success, A second Literary Supplement was published in June of the Spring semester. The special staff of edi tors included Kenneth \iVickware, Louis Carrick, George Davis, Dorothy Sanford, Ludlow Barns, and Elizabeth Long. Many changes in the organization and policies of the Collegian are due to take place before the paper re-appears next September, Partial plans for next year include voluntary annual subscriptions and mailed copies for all students instead of sales in the halls and college credit in journalism for certain types of workers on the Collegian. ' The paper may also expand into an eight-page paper.

The Coll egian, unpretentious as it appears, involves an almost unbelievable amount of weekly toil. Although space forbids printing the names of the com­ plete staff, the editors, department editors, reporters and others who gave so freely of their energy should not go unrecognized and forgotten.

y slow degrees, debating has gained recognition in City College. The . call for candidates was sounded in December; the House of Represent- B atives and the Student Club sent four picked men each, and these eight, along with a large group of Independents, started work under Coach Neilsen.

After a month of intensive study, elimination debates were held, and Mr. Neil sen picked the varsity squad, consisting of the following men: Donald Leonard, Forbes H ascall, Edward Martinek, Arthur J ohnson, George Jeffrey, Robert Smiley, and Sidney Koretz. Leonard and H ascall were the only veterans on the squad, and a ll the men were Sophomores except Leonard and Jeffrey who were members of the Junior class. Most of the teams debating with City College were made up entirely of Juniors and Seniors.

Don Leonard, who was also the debate manager, schedul ed debates with Montana Inter-mountain University, Findlay, Baldwin-\iVallace, "Vestern Reserve University, and Crane Junior College of Chi cago, on the question "Resolved that the Uni ted States join the League of Nations."

An affirmat ive team consisting of Jeffrey, Hascall, and J ohnson met Montana on the home floor, and lost by one vote. This was M ontana's eighth debate . while the Collegians had had only one week of team preparation. In the Findla; debate, Koretz, H ascall, and J ohnson went to Findlay, and won on the a ffirm a~ tive side by a 2-1 vote. The negative team, consisting of Smiley, Martinek, and Leonard, debated Findlay at Detroit in a no decision debate; a nd one week later the same team upheld the affirmative against \iVestern Reserve, and lost by one vote. A negative team with Hascall, Martinek, and Leonard went to Chicago late in May to debate Crane Junior College. This debate closed the season.

In no school is debating given the place to which it is entitled. While support of the City.College teams is not what it might be, nevertheless, there seems to be more interest in debating here than ever before, and we hope that even better support will be given to teams in the future.

To Coach Neilsen a nd Don Leonard especial credit is due. Mr. Neilsen gave unreservedly of his time and energy to whip the teams into shape. Too much cannot be said of his efforts along this line. Don Leonard, along with his myriad other duties, took the discouraging and tha nkless task of scheduling debates, and hi s work speaks for itself. We only hope t hat Don will come back next year, and do it again. Both of these men are trying to place City College on a higher plane in debating, and they should have the whole-hearted support of the entire student body to achieve this end.

One of the most significant events of the school year was the installation, at City Coll ege, of a Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, the largest national honorary forensic fraternity in the United States.

I III I III III I I Engineers /1 I OON after the establishment of Detroit Junior College, a group of Engineer­ in g students thought that they might gain knowledge in other ways than I S attending cl asses. They, therefore, formed the Detroit Junior College E ngineering Society. I ts purpose was, "To develop in terest in the study of E ngineering in general; to train its members in Engineering as a science and as a profession; and to promote intelligent discussion on all important topics relating to E ngineering."

\iVi th t his threefold purpose in mind the society has a hvays been a boon to the E ngineering student. To help its members in the last year we have had talks by Dean Mackenzie, Mr. George J erome, City Engineer; Mr. Beal of the Michigan State Telephone Company; M r. Mock, Michiga n Cen tral Railroad Signal Engineer; Mr. Dra ke of the Chemistry department, Mr. Sorenson of the Dodge M otor Company ; Mr. Cotton of the Acme White Lead \,yorks; a nd other success­ ful engi neers. Each new member is required to speak on some E ngineering topic. Trips have been undertaken by the society to such places as Ford's River Rouge P lant; t he Portland Cement Plant at Wya ndotte; the Cadillac Exchange of the Michigan State T elephone Co. a nd other places of interest to E ngineers. However, it is not to be supposed that the Society is all business, for it develops the social side as well. There have been ma ny social meetings at which ice cream and cooki es, or sinkers and cider have been dispensed. Then t here are the two t heatre stags each year, a nd at the close of each term there is a final stag. A long trip to such places as Sarnia or Toledo serve both as business and pleasure t rips. Then, there are often overnight hikes or camping parties to keep up in terest. The E ngineers have kept faithful records of all their business and reports a nd have them all fil ed so that at a ny time one can look into the records and learn a bout the society's first meetings a nd business tra nsactions. At the t ime the constitution was written there were no other clubs in the school. The original constitution has been found so satisfactory that only two minor amendments have been made. At the beginning of the fall term of 1923, the name of the society was changed so tha t it is now "The Engineering Society of the Coll ege of the City of Detroit." In 1919 the society began to publish a paper called t he Buzz Saw. This paper is a blue printed pamphlet, and is gratis to a ll who attend the meetings. During t he last year, the Buzz-Sa\\r has had six subscribei's at Ann Arbor a nd one at Cambridge, Mass. During the present semester, The Engineers, expanding on their original ) purpose of service to engineers, instigated their " Blue Bulletin" a poster blue print concisely explaining the technicalities involved in modern engineering projects. The officers for the fa ll semester were: President, J oseph Graves; Treasurer, L. Dasher; Secretary, Arthur Shultz.
