Through the years that bear us far, Through what changing scenes there are May thy name untarnished be, Glorious victories crown thy years, Progress daunted not by fears. Alma Mater, E. J. C. — Sophomore Class. Every cub who places a faltering foot inside the portals of E.J.C. will feel a thrill all the way down his furry spinal column when he hears the Alma Mater sung. This composition was bequeathed by the first Sophomore class. In a song contest held at the beginning of the year 19x7-2.8 the Sophomores placed themselves on the map by submitting words and music for an Alma Mater. Frances Shelden composed an original tune and the other members of the class combined their efforts to write the words. It did not take the poor benighted Freshmen long to learn that the Wearin ' o ' the Green was not all that it was cracked up to be. In fact, a lot of the Frosh got their Irish up when a deluge of green caps descended upon them. The Sopho- mores soon convinced them that their purpose was to satisfy the aesthetic sense of the community by furnishing a bit of color for an otherwise barren campus. The Sophomores, by their dignified examples, have been a distinguished group on the campus, furnishing the school with the Pres . of the Student Council , Football Captain, Pres. of Y.W., E. Club; Sans Souci; and Gold Diggers; V. Pres. and Treas. of Pi Delta Theta and Vice Pres. of the E. Club. XL Fiftern I THE -192 8 RIZZLY GROWL Carleton Brown, Texas A. and M.

Sponsor Miss Dorothy Cartwright Colors Red and White Although only cubs, the Freshmen were not, as is usually the case in a two year school, compelled to be the under-dogs this year. Being in the majority they were left, for the most part, unmolested. However, in order to humor the Sopho- mores, they did don some very becoming little green caps of the usual variety. Most of the cubs wore their caps from choice, but a few (sad, sad tale) were compelled by something more forceful than desire. It wasn ' t long, however, until the Sopho- mores were made to rue the day of their unwonted indelicacy in handling the Frosh. Revenge is sweet, and the morning of the Baby Parade in the Kafir Corn Carnival found a crowd of green capped Freshmen wheeling a prominent Sophomore in the parade. Said Soph, drinking a bottle of milk, was doubled up in an adorable baby buggy. Then, in the School Day Parade, when the upper classmen brought a goat decked in Freshman colors, they were pounced upon by a mob of green caps with paddles and were scattered, but not without an old fashioned beating for punishment. By the way, the Queen of the Junior College float, elected by the student body, was a Freshman; and the biggest honor given during the carnival, that of being Miss El Dorado, was also conferred upon a Freshman. Members of the class have taken part in every college activity willingly and to the credit of all. In football, basketball, debate, and plays, the cubs have always done their share for the glory of E.J.C. In fact, from their ranks there have come: the only El Dorado member of the All-Conference Football Team, the editor of both the school paper and the Grizzly Growl , and the Popular Girl. At the close of this first year of E.J.C. the Freshmen are proud to look back over the tracks they have made, and are eagerly anticipating bigger and better tracks next year. El Dorado J.

A constitution was adopted by the club, and this organization became one of the most active in the school. The plans of the club call for two major plays of at least three acts each term with any number of smaller one and two act plays. ' ' The Beau of Bath, a one act play, by Constance Mackay, was the first play presented by the club. It was also given as a part of a program for the benefit of the Athletic fund. Within the Zone, by O ' Neil, was also presented on the Athletic Benefit Program. The program was well-liked. Other short plays were Love and Tea , The Minuet , and The Finger of God. ' ' The club contributed equally with the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Edu- cation to the Annual Fund. Members: Harold Sproul, Russell Berry, William Benson, Nadien Knight ' Gerdine Young, Mary Bass, Alice Sunbarger, Lloyd Adams, Nel le Miller ' Doris Dace, Clementine Bacon, Dorothea McGlasson, Pauline Kuhns, Harriett Reece, Frances Ambrose, Harold Olin, Ralph Bennewitz, Graydon Carroll, Everett Lane, Sybelee Musick, Evelyn Ash, Ermalee Fowler, Elfreda Adams, Virginia Johnson, Luella McVay, Harold Boyd, Marvin Songer, Bert Bass, Kenneth Midkiff, Frances Pattison, Mildred Surpluss, Raymond Cornett, Jack Vaughn. Twenty-five THE 192 8 • f JllRIZZLY GROWL THE SEASON FOR PI DELTA THETA Grumpy —(The four-act comedy made famous by Cyril Maude) Dec. 15-16. This play set a record for cash receipts for a school performance in El Dorado. The scenes on the next page are from this play. The cast was as follows : ' ' Grumpy — Eugene Sheets; Ernest Herron — Harold Sproul; Virginia Bullivant — Mary Bass; Ruddock — Carroll Hughes; Susan — Sybelee Musick; Jarvis — Gale Moss; Kebble — Russel Berry; Wolfe — Gardiner Lindley; Merridew — Lloyd Adams; Dawson— Everett Lane; Dr. McClaren — Robert Fee; Mrs. McClaren — Doris Dace. Press Comment: The presentation of Grumpy is a work of forty students who belong to the Dramatics Club of the Junior College. It is being presented in a business like manner, with the same desire to give satisfaction for value received that marks the professional offering. The players realize their responsibility, and they have applied themselves to fulfilling it with singleness of purpose. Miss Cora Vaughn, teacher of English at the college, and director of the play, has sought earnestly to inculcate the ideals of the theater in the minds of her charges, and the success which was met last night reflects to her credit as well as to the students who, both on and off the stage proper, contributed their energies to the presentation — The El Dorado Times. ' The Beau of Bath — Presented in chapel Nov. 14; presented to Rotary at the annual Christmas Luncheon; presented on the Athletics Benefit Program. Press Comment: Gale Moss and Miss Sybelee Musick played the leads, handl- ing these difficult parts in a clever and skillful way. They were ably supported by a small cast, while the settings, light effects, and music were most effectively done. Miss Vaughn has shown a high order of talent in her work with dramatics this year, and it is nowhere more fully displayed than in this little scene. — El Dorado Times. Love and Tea — Presented in Chapel Feb. 2.2.. The cast included Doris Dace, Nelle Miller, Dorothea McGlasson, Frances Hull, Clementine Bacon, Harold Sproul, and Lloyd Adams. ' ' Within the Zone — Presented for Athletic Benefit Program. The cast included Kenneth Midkiff, William Benson, Eugene Sheets, Everett Lane, Beryl Hix, Ralph Bennewitz, Harold Olin, and Graydon Carroll.

Twenty-six THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL Twenty-seven THE -192 RIZZLY GROWL STUDENT COUNCIL President Eugene Sheets Vice-President Maysel Archer Secy. Treas Victor Benton Sponsor Dean Walker The Student Council was the most dignified organization on the campus, except- ing, of course, the Sophomore Class. The Council of 1917-1918, being the first student governing body in El Dorado Junior College, felt the weight of its responsi- bility quite heavily. Since the College was such an infant, the Council had to set many precedents, which will, no doubt, become traditions of our Alma Mater. Although it was not conspicuous, the Council was back of every worthwhile activity in school. It was vitally and equally interested in athletics, forensics, publications, and social life. The Council was made up of eight representatives chosen from the two classes- The president of this executive group was from the Sophomore class, and the secre- tary-treasurer was from the Freshman class. Besides the officers, members of the Council were: Sybelee Musick, Graydon Carroll, Marvin Songer, Clementine Bacon, and Mary Bass. Twenty-eight THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL . ' - . ,. ■••■;_■ EL DORADOAN STAFF Editor Clementine Bacon Social Editors Maysel Archer, Sybelee Musick News Editors Russell Berry, Doris Dace Feature Editor K athryn Kenny Sport Editor Gale Moss Sponsor Miss Cora Vaughn The members of the El Doradoan staff were selected by a committee of teachers because of some evidence of ability to write. To record college news accurately and in the approved newspaper style has been the aim of the staff this year. The power of the printed word, no one doubts, and the staff has done its best to get before the public faithful reports of the college news — an advertising medium of great im- portance to a newly founded school. Although sufficient space in which to print all its copy was lacking to the staff, it is appreciative of the courtesy of the senior high school journalism department in granting space for college news. Next year it is hoped that college news will occupy a section devoted exclusively to that or, better, that the college will furnish facilities for a separate newspaper. Twenty-nin? THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL DEBATE SQUAD Affirmative Gale Moss and Russell Berry Alternate Sybelee Music Negative Beryl Hix and Carroll Hughes Alternate Marvin Songer Coach Miss Cora Vaughn Progress of the best type has been made our first year in forensics. The debate squad, consisting of three Sophomores and three Freshmen, debated three four-year colleges in non-decision debates; it is not possible to say exactly how the decisions would have gone. Friends University of Wichita was the first college encountered. The Negative remained at home while the affirmative went to Wichita. The teams came thru in this, their first debate, and both won audience decisions. The second debate was with Southwestern, both teams coming to El Dorado. According to the opinion of Dean Allen, Southwestern Coach, both affirmative teams won, splitting the debate. Wichita University was met in the third practice debate. Both El Dorado teams went to Wichita. Mr. Harbison, W.U. Coach, gave his opinion in our favor for both encounters. The object of all these practice debates was to get in readiness for the Junior College Debate Tournament that was held at Independence. El Dorado was elimi- nated in the first round of that affair, the affirmative team winning from Iola by six points, while the Negative lost to Iola by eight points. The tournament ended with four teams tied for first place, giving El Dorado second place. Seven teams were entered. Thirty THE -1928 RIZZLV GROWL SCIENCE CLUB President Marion Caldwell Vice-President Maysel Archer Sec ' y. Treas Victor Benton Sponsor O. E. Bonecutter The Science Club was organized for college students who were interested in things scientific, and the bi-monthly meetings, which were held in the science lecture room on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, were devoted to discuss- ions, demonstrations, and lectures which helped its members to keep in touch with the progress of science. In point of accomplishment, the members feel that the club is as yet in its in- fancy; nevertheless, they have broken ground in one of the most interesting fields of collegiate investigation. They hope that in the years to come the Science Club will be a place of interest for the scientists of E.J.C The members were: Ca rleton Brown, Kenneth Groves, Duwane Mulnix, William Cloyes, Kenneth Burgert, Raymond Cornett, Maurice Gwin, Eldon Teter, Helen Ruth, Maysel Archer, Marion Caldwell, Pearl Osborne, and Alberta Peffley. Thirty-one THE -192 8 RIZZLY GROWL jlte Y.W.C.A. President Sybelee Musick Vice-President Helen Ruth Secretary .Iola Nikkel Treasurer Dorothea McGlasson The Young Women ' s Christian Association was one of the most active organi- zations in the College. It was always ready to help when there was any work to be done, and anything that it undertook went over big. The Y.W. put itself on the map when it sponsored a banquet for the football men . This affair was quite the social event of the first semester. No college man can ever forget the unholy glee which he felt when a co-ed blushingly asked him for a date for the Leap Year party, which was given on St. Valentine ' s Day. No member of the feminine gender could ever be happy without a tea now and then. The Y.W. gave two teas of outstanding importance. One was an autumn tea given for the members, and the other was given at Christmas time. The Vesper Service given on Palm Sunday was well attended, and thoroughly enjoyed. Clementine Bacon was the program chairman of the club: Ella Baker, Social Service chairman; Ermalee Fowler, Social chairman. Thirty-two THE -192 8 RIZZLY GROWL SANS SOUCI President Eva DeVore Secretary Elsie Thacker Sponsor Miss Dorothy Cartwright Sans Souci is just a nice, easy way of saying Without a Care . The mem- bers of the club are truly careless (we mean void of care, not the usual interpretation of the word). This club is another one of the exclusively feminine organizations on the campus. Members of Sans Souci seem to be infected with a bad case of wander lust. At each meeting they study the customs of a different foreign country. A discussion of South America was made particularly interesting by examples of South American culture which were brought directly from Colombia, South America. The Sans Souciers have a grand time at their parties, too. Theatre parties, teas, picnics, and a spring party were included on the Sans Souci social calendar. Members of the club are: Eva DeVore, Iola Nikkel, Dorothy Cartwright, Ruth Russell, Elsie Thacker, Lillian Land, Faith Lipscomb, Claribel Houston, Lillian Green, Ethel McKee, Helen Fast, Dorothy Smith, Mary Fast. B-yx. Thirty-three THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL GOLD DIGGERS Gold-Diggers! Please don ' t misunderstand us. It really isn ' t as bad as it sounds! If you want to know how the Gold-diggers rate, just talk to any of the basketball or football men. The Gold-diggers of El Dorado College had quite a different reputation from those gold-diggers of movie fame. The sole object of this organization of college girls was to dig out the pep which anyone in school had hidden away. How did they get results? Were you ever curious enough to wonder who was responsible for the rainbow-hued goal posts at football games? The Gold-diggers, of course. Did you ever wonder why the gridiron heroes came back rejuvenated after the half? Hot coffee, which the Gold-diggers made, can explain that. Had you ever noticed that a spell seemed to be over our basketball men? Rabbits ' left hind feet, which were presented by the Gold-diggers, were responsible for the charm. The members of the organization were: Zelda Ellet, Gerdine Young, Mary Bass, Frances Pattison, Sybelee Musick, Clementine Bacon, Ermalee Fowler, Dorothea McGlasson, Maysel Archer, Evelyn Ash, Helen Ruth, Kathryn Kenny, Frances Hull. L js-yi J! Thirty-four THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL MATHEMATICS CLUB President Ella Baker Vice-President Cleo Bradley Sec ' y. Treas . Pearl Osborne To interest students who were not mathematically inclined was the purpose of the Mathematics Club, which was organized by Miss Ferna Wrestler, head of the Mathematics department. This task was accomplished by discussions of the lives of the great mathematicians, tricks and mathematical puzzles, and the endless study of the fourth dimension. The practicability of mathematics was proved to the student body in assembly by a demonstration of the slide rule. This peculiar little instrument appeared to be part of a magician ' s equipment until we were shown what makes the wheels go ' round . Members of the club were: Marion Caldwell, William Cloyes, Kenneth Burcert, Cleo Bradley, Horace Campbell, Grant Cottrell, Clarence Hunn, Ferna Wrestler, Ella Baker, Pearl Osborne, Charles Elder, George Brenner, Harold Olin, and Beryl Hix. M Thirty-five THE -1928 RIZZLY GROWL HOBOES One day a crowd of girls met in Miss Wrestler ' s room There were girls seek- ing to reduce, girls athletically inclined, and girls just hunting a good time. The result was the Hoboes. This club has no constitution or code of rules. The only requirement is that each member bring her lunch in her own bandana. Any girl can be a Hobo and its members will tell you that a Hobo hike is lots of fun. STUDENTS AT ENTRANCE E-yx. Thirty-six MOST POPULAR WOMAN In the popularity contest which was conducted in connection with the sale of annuals, five contest- ants were brought forward. - Ger- dine Young and Sybelee Musick, sophomores, and Mary Bass, Cle- mentine Bacon, Doris Dace, freshmen. The affair shortly settled down to a duel between Miss Bass and Miss Bacon. The outcome was in doubt day after day, and, even after the contest closed, we had to wait for the adding machine to definitely settle the matter. Miss Bass was winner. MOST POPULAR MAN Few or none of the E.J.C stu- dents were especially surprised when Eugene (Rusty) Sheets, a sophomore, was voted the most popular man of the college. Harold (Red) Boyd, a fresh- man, gave him a very spirited race for the honor, and many times the outcome seemed doubt- ful. The other contestant was Gale Moss, a sophomore. MB — ' ul ' I i ' ' J .

ETICS THE -192 8 RIZZLV GROWL Coach A. H. Cornwell Hersch certainly had the ole school spirit at heart when he made a successful team of the raw material waiting for him at the beginn- ing of the year. To him goes the admiration and respect of the whole student body as well as of the members of the teams. Captain Sheets, Football Rusty was probably the one man who could carry the responsibility of the two major jobs on the team, captain and quarterback. He was the morale of the team, a consistent ground gainer, and, what football demands, a fighter and a clean sport. E CLUB President . Gale Moss V-President Mar Sec ' y.-Treas VIN SONGER Harold Boyd The E Club was organized soon after the close of the first semester. It was essentially a club of only those who had earned football letters because no other letters had been awarded. The organization, however, is a perpetual one, being augmented at the end of each sports season with those who have earned their ath- letic letter. Incidentally all men who earned basketball letters were men who had football letters. The E club banquet, at which the new officers were announced, was one of the last and best social events of the school year. Fortv-three THE • 1 RIZZLY GROWL FOOTBALL E.J.C. ' s football season started off with a bang. Chilocco was defeated in the first football game ever played by a Grizzly team. Then came a series of set backs, three defeats in a row by conference teams. These games were away from home; this fact affected the morale of the team, but the next game, the first college game ever played in El Dorado, resulted in a victory over Fort Scott. From this time on, no defeats were suffered. Friends University Reserves were defeated in a thrilling battle, and on Turkey Day, Arkansas City was handed a severe drubbing. Much of the success of the season was due to Coach Hersh Cornwell who took a comparatively inexperienced squad of men, and before the season was over, had molded it into a team that was the pride of E.J. C. and its supporters. Kean was given a berth on the first All-Conference team, and Sheets made the second team. Harsh, Boyd, and Pettit were given honorable mention.

Forty-four THE -1926 RIZZLY GROWL WTi Forty-five 1 THE -192 8 RIZZLV GROWL BASKETBALL The basketball season for E.J.C. ended with a 50-50 record. The showing in the Junior College Conference percentage column was not so good, but many of the games were thrilling. Only one non-conference game was lost and that to the fast Emporia K.S.T.C. Reserve team. The showing was more remarkable than figures show because the personell of the team were not high school and college stars but fighters to the nth degree; a team that never called the game lost until the final whistle. Our first year in the conference acquainted us with the fact that the competi- tion was keen. We will be better prepared to meet it next year. TRACK SQUAD £1 .
