Vol. VI, No. 5 ALPENA, MICHIGAN Friday, January 17, 1964 Circle K Sponsors Homecoming Events College Holds ·Christmas Convocation At 11:00 a.m., on De- cember 20, 1963, the col- lege held its annual Christ- mas convocation at the Masonic Temple. Dennis Fuerst, Student Council Pres ident, intro - duced the Collegiate Sing- e . . , . Brubacher, Superintendent of Schools, who was our speaker. The Collegiate Singers sang several Christmas songs, which were very beautiful'. Janet Downs sang a solo, and I'm sure every- one thought it was beauti- ful. Dr. Brubacher spoke about Christmas. He told some of the story of Christ- mas, and added some of the true facts which took place at the time of Christ's birth. The speech was very interesting and everyone seemed very taken in with it. - D. G. Mr. Orr Returns Mr. Myron Orr spent his Christmas vacation lying in bed at the Alpena General Hospital. He was admitted prompt- ly at the closing of school and released the day after classes resumed. Although only minor surgery was performed he had to spend an additional week at his home resting. While hospitalized he had substituting teachers re- placing his position. Many students visited the in- structor and paid their res- ' pect and wished a speedy recovery. He is back once again and instructing and he would like to thank every- one for their kind thought- fulness and hospitality. ~Tom Ritter-, Student Affairs Director, Leaving ACC Mr. Ritter, Director of Student Affairs, is leaving A.C.C. after the comple- tion of the first semester to accept a managerial po- sition with the Freedman Artcraft Engineering Cor- poration in Charlevoix, Michigan. This firm has approximately one hundred employees. Mr. Ritter received his Masters degree from the School of Business at Mich- igan State University in 1958.

In the fall of 1961 he came· to A.C.C. to teachbusiness administration and coach hi~h s chool football .. Mr . tor. of Student Affairs dur- ing July of 1962 and has done a great amount of work toward furthering the interests of everyone here at A.C.C. After receiving his Mas- ters degree Mr. Ritter has taken an additional thirty hours of classes in the school of business at M.S.U. It was his training in the field of business administration which prompted his decision to try his skills and knowledge in business. . It was stated by Mr. Ritter that the people of Alpena have been very good to him and that he has enjoyed his work at A.c.c. These · factors made the decision to leave this school system a difficult one to make. Five instructors willful- · fill the duties of Mr. Rit- ter's office until a new Director of Student Af- fairs is named. These in- structors will be Mr. Devol, Mr. Dutcher, Mr. Oosting, Mr. Reed and Mr. Valli. Scholarships Available Scholarships are now available for college grad- uates and those students planning to graduate in June. There are a variety of holarships which are be- ing offered. All of the scholarships are made available through Board of Trustees, not private sources. A scholarship will vary according to the , particu- lar college a student wishes to apply at. Some scholar- ships will pay tuition - $1,000 per year. Grant-in-aid, which is a teacher's educational scholarship, pays the com- plete tuition, but not the fees. A student should apply as soon as possible. Fur- ther information can be obtained from Student Ser- vice Office. - Lois Gapczy.nski 1----1C(,J1'R_RL 11fill1------' 0000000 ~to~-ve/ It has been suggested that students use the plowed-out path to the parking lot indica\ed in the drawing. This will save them the trouble of competing with vehicular traffic in the snow caverns of the circle. 11Fantasy In Frost" Was Successfu I Approximately sixty couples danced to the music of Bill Kuchemann' s or- chestra. Held in the Besser Technical Center, 'Fantasy In Frost' could be described in one word -- successful. , The Technical Center proved to be the location needed to give the dance atmosphere. The building alone is beautiful and with the decorations, the touch of frost and fantasy was added to the air. It seems that the soph- omores had a fine idea when they came up with the idea of using doormen. Everyone present enjoyed the fine services of the uniformed doormen, who added a little glamour to the evening. Chairmen Bruce Cash, Kathryn Rick, Marilynn Hartnell, Denny Fuerst and their committees had one thing in mind when planning for this dance. That was to make it an undisputable soccess. Each should be given a· word of congratu- lations. A special word should be given to Presi- dent Dave Pettyes for his fine work as over-all chairman. All charimen would like to extend a· special "thank you" to Mr. Ritter for all the help he has given them. He was around at all times when needed and helped with the large and small problems which arose. How Queen Is Elected - M.H. The 1964 Homecoming Queen and her court will be elected in the following manner: 1. A student organiza- tion, function or club must first sponsor the candidate. 2.

Petitions turned in to the office will be checked and placed upon a ballot. 4. School election will select the five candidates having the largest number of signatures. 5. The queen will be de- termined by the number of votes and her court will be the remaining four. Clubs Urged To,Participate With _the coming of the festive homecoming to be held this year on February 14th, the Circle K wishes all clubs and organizations to show an interest by pos- sibly sponsoring a candi- date for the queen contest. In the past, the homecoming festivities have usually been under the guidance of the Student Council; how- ever, the Circle K, at the request of Vice-president Bruce · Cash, ·showed a stimulating interest to sponsor the homecoming this year as a means of showing their loyalty to- wards A.C.C. Having received the ap- proval of the Student Coun- cil on December 18, the committee heads were soon set up under the Homecom- ing Chairman, Bill Ham- bidge. Committee heads are as follows: Elections, Don Silver; Game activi- ties. Bruce Cash; and Dance, Wayne Skiba. Under these committee heads, several Circle K members are actively engaged in working towards a suc- cessful homecoming. The theme for this year's homecoming will be in the Valentine setting because of the appropriate date. The activities will be under way starting on Feb- ruary 11, with the election of the Homecoming Queen and her court. Chairman for Elections, Don SHver, states that the queen and her · court will be selected by secret ballot and the five finalists will be noti- fied on Wednesday. Final information upon who the actual queen will be, is to be held secret until the game with Kellogg on Fri- day night. At this time the 1964 Homecoming Queen and her court will be in- troduced. With the site of the dance activities still left ·an un- decided question, Chairman Wayne Skiba states the pos- sibility of either the beau- tiful Besser Technical lounge or the spacious Ma- sonic Temple as possibili- ties. Both making a beau- tiful setting, the dance for- malities should be an event to remember. As in the past, several college clubs, for example, S.E.A., Ski Club, Radio Drama Club, Circle K, and others, are all urged to sponsor a candidate for queen for the homecoming events.
