W. and many of the less important officers are held by the Sophomores. Then too we have always have been able to live down past disgraces. Even though the freshmen did make three of our members march in the baby parade, we lived down the humiliation of that disgrace. We hope we have left the freshmen a good example, and we pray they have gained knowledge from the bawling out we have been given about sitting on tables and decorating bulletin boards.

GROWL o • THE GRIZZLY GROWL r 1031 Russell Stratford El Dorado, Kansas George S. Benson El Dorado, Kansas Natahn Axton El Dorado, Kansas The Freshman Class President George Benson Vice President Nathan Axton Secretary-Treasurer Russel Stratford After the Freshmen had survived the emharrasment that came with wearing the green caps (although we dare say they were secretly proud of the honor) they were ready to take their place in school affairs. From the Freshman class came a large percentage of the students in Junior College athletics, debate, on the student council, annual staff, and chapel programs committee. The president and secretary-treasurer of the Gold Diggers are Freshmen, and from this class comes a great deal of the pep of the college. There are sixty-five students in the Freshman class, and a much larger class is ex- pected for next year because of the large number of graduates from the Senior High who will enter college. To make way for them, the present Freshman gladly fold about themselves a new dignity (perhaps much needed) in preparation for new duties as the Sophomores of next vear.

Dace, Berry, Rich, Boellner Student Council President Lucille Rich Secretary-Treasurer George Benson Advisors Pr Miss Townsend, Mr. Shumway The Student Council of 1930 upheld the precedent established by the Council of 1928 and 1929, and made several worth-while contributions to the rules and regulations to be observed by students. It is hoped by the members of this Council that these decisions will become some of the worthy traditions of E.J.C. Although the work of the Student Council was not conspicuous, it was nevertheless consistent and thorough. The Council was always equally and vitally interested in all important activities in E.J.C. — athletics, publications, forensics, and social life. By arbitrary rule, the Council is composed of the presidents of the two classes, three members elected from each class, the student president, and advisors. As a matter of precedent, the president of the sophomore class is president of the Student Council, and the president of the Freshman class is the Secretary-treasurer. The other members are: Frances Cleaver, Helen Hampson, Rubye Dace, Russell Berry, Louise Sheets, Nan Smith, Elizabeth Stuart.

Until the close of the first semester a college section was edited in the High School paper by the Journalism Staff, but the Student Council deemed it necessary to acquaint the town and countryside with our work, and thus the bulletin came into being. The English composition classes with the coaching of Miss Milford published the bulletin at intervals of three weeks. The bulletin was financed in part by the Business and Professional Women ' s Club and by the Lions Clubs of both El Dorado and Wichita. NINETEEN THIRTY Page Thirty THE GRIZZLY GROWL • • • I.

At the beginning of the year the sophomore big sisters entertained the freshmen little sisters at a line party. Many interesting and helpful programs were held throughout the year. The foot- ball banquet was sponsored by the Y. W. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas time a needy family was provided with food. Money was raised by candy sales to pay the current ex- penses and to send girls to the Junior College Y.W.C.A. Conference at Independence. In the spring a vesper service was held and a tea given for the senior girls in the High School. As a whole this year has been a very successful one but we hope to accomplish still more next year. Miss Milford and Miss Wrestler sponsored the club.

Instruction, under Miss Clara Staadt, consisted mostly of ear-training and breath control. The Glee Club sang several times in chapel and also sang in the Y.W. Vesper service. ' This is the-second year of organization of the Girl ' s Glee Club and Miss Staadt has had charge both years. NINETEEN THIRTY Page Thirty-two THE GRIZZLY GROWL Almost every girl in school Gold Diggers President Maybelle Johnson Vice-President Arlene Sinclair Secretary-Treasurer Elizabeth Stuart The Gold Diggers, who are they. They are the members of the college girl ' s pep club. (They do more to foster pep and school spirit in E.J.C. than any other organization in the college). This group is behind all school activities with vim and enthusiasm and pushes them on to victory. The first display of this pep was early last fall when the Gold Diggers were hostesses to an all school picnic and pep rally at the athletic field. At several of the games the girls appeared between halves in clever stunts which were made much more effective by the club uniforms, white sleeveless sweaters with purple and gold Grizzly cub emblems on the front. After a few of the games, with sympathetic thoughtfulness, the girls restored the spirits of the boys on both teams with light lunches. When the boys were playing an out of town game where they could not be encouraged by the cheers of the Gold Diggers, the girls made use of modern invention and telegraphed their pep to the boys. With their customary vigor and success the Gold Diggers sponsored the show, Disraeli. Had it not been for the continual work of the officers and the eager cooperation of every girl, the list of accomplishments would not be so glorious. So, three cheers for the Gold Diggers, and pep!

Much interest has been shown in all forensic activities, whether it be oratory, declamation, or debate. In debate we have been repre- sented by Winnie Montgomery and Mildred Mason on the affirmative team and Ruth Snyder and Roy Farrar on the negative team. A pre-season invitation tournament was held at Winfield in December. The teams that entered debated both sides of the question. Winnie Montgomery and Mildred Mason debated at this tournament. They won a decision from the Hutchinson Junior College, but lost to Phillips University and Wichita Univer- sity. March 4 the negative team met a Junior College team from Freinds University and March 18 the affirmative team met the other Junior College team from Freinds. March 10 both teams met the Women ' s teams from Southwestern, who later became national cham- pions, and were defeated only by a narrow margin. April 10 both teams went to Iola to the State debate tournament. Nothing was done in the way of oratory and declamation until the end of the year. Local contests were held to determine who should represent the school in the state meet. Those participating in the declamation contest were Rubye Dace, Helen loan Scribner, and Florence Davis. Those participating in the oratorical contest were Roy Farrar, Ray- mond Soward, and Russell Berry. NINETEEN THIRTY Page Thirty-four THE GRIZZLY GROWL Noble, Angleton, T.

Its program has been broad, in that it has attempted the production of a wide variety of plays, and has been eminently successful, as all these production have been well received by the public. More students have been intersted in and have cooperated with the Dramatics Club than at any previous time. The quality of acting has been superior to that of former years, and the students have possessed the ability of losing themselves in their characters to a marked extent. The Dramatics Club has sponsored fifteen public performances and has produced seven different plays during the season. The Club feels that participarion in the work involved in the production of a play is of great value to the person taking part, and each member has had the opportunity of appearing before the public in some role, or has held places of responsibility in the business organization of the Club.

Si is the best shot of any man to ever play on a Grizzly cage team and he will always be remembered for his sensational long goals. His fine shooting kept ElDorado in the running in more than one game this season. He was the leading Grizzly scorer for the season. His excellent scoring ability gave him a place on the second all conference team. Hersh won his way into the hearts of every squad member this year with his unusual personality. Despite the fact that he had only inexperienced men to work with, Hersh put players on the field or on the court that were determined to do their best. Although the Grizzlies seldom won a game, Hersh kept his ability to smile at defeat and impressed his men with the fact that there is more to a game than victory. If there were an all con- ference team for valuable coaches, Hersh would surely be on it. Donny was the fightiness captain to ever lead a Grizzly team. His courage and sportsmanship coupled with his unusual playing ability made Donny the backbone of the elven. He is one of the best all round quarter backs to ever play on an El Dorado team. In addition he was always willing to do more than his share. He will be remembered for his two touchdowns against Coffeyville. His ability was recognized when he was given honorable mention on the all-conference team.

Only a small number of men turned out for the squad and Coach Cornwell was handicapped by a lack of good substi- tutes. Despite this the Grizzlies carried on throughout the season, meeting the stiffest competiton in the state without flinching, and ended their season with a glorious 14 to 13 victory over Coffeyville. This game will always be remembered as the Grizzlies came back in- the closing minutes of the contest to push over a touchdown that tied the score and then won the game when the extra point was made. The Grizzlies showed some real football ability when they held the undefeated Wichita University Frosh team to a to score. The Grizzlies outplayed the Wichitans and had only three yards to go for a touch- down when the final whistle blew. Rogers, Blaine, and Broyles were the outstanding players on the team. The Grizzlies played two night football games before big crowds this year and the one home game under the flood lights caused a decision to be made that will give the Grizzlies a completely equipped field of their own for night football next year. A large number of this year ' s lettermen will be back next year and the Grizzlies are looking forward to a victorious season.

This was Si ' s second vear and the Grizzlies will have a real job finding someone to take his place next year. Tack Noble o Noble proved that he was a real baske 1 ball player and he was the mainstay of th Grizzly defense. He was especially ade at taking the ball off of the backboard. He will graduate this year. Paul Kitch Kitch will also be back next year to help hold down one of the guard posi- tions. GRIZZLY len James James hails from Benton and made ood at center his first year. He is un- usually short for the pivot position but he was able to out-jump many men much taller than he. He should make a valuable man next year. GROWL Page Forty-jour Jackson Groves Groves is another product of the Butler County League. He played center and because of his height he was able to get the tip from any other center in the con- ference. He will also be back next year. Harry Williams Sol was handicapped this year with an injured wrist but when he broke into the lineup he was always able to give a good account of himself. He is eligible to play another year. Frank Fowler Donk was not eligible until the! second semester but he made up for los p time when he did get started. He was anl exceedingly fast man and played any position on the court. This was his last year. rEORGE BeNSON June was a real forward and despite the fact that he did not score much he ras the best floor man on the Grizzly ;team. What he lacked in stature he made up in speed. He will be back next year.

Starting off with a team that had only one player left from last year ' s team the Grizzlies played some brilliant basketball and lost many games only because of their inexperience. Although the records show that only one conference game was won this season out of nine played, the Grizzlies were always feared by their opponents and they justified this fear when they out-played Hutchinson, the conference champs, until the last few minutes of the game when the Blue Dragons came from behind and nosed out a close victory. Never before have so many thrilling basketball games been played here in one season and if the Grizzlies had had their share of the luck, many of the games would have gone in the win column. The closeness of the games is shown by the average scores of eight of the conference games. They show that the Grizzlies scored almost 26 points a game while their opponents scored 30. At the close of the season, the Grizzlies took part in the annual Tri-State Junior Col- lege Tournament which was held at Baldwin and succeeded in winning second place in the consolation round. Only three men will be lost to this year ' s squad by graduation and the Grizzlies have every reason to look forward to a Kansas Junior College Conference Championship next year. NINETEEN THIRTY Page Forty-six THE GRIZZLY GROWL • o • Benson, Condit, Ellet, Cornwell, James, Rigg, Lichty Track Following disastrious seasons in both football and basketball, the Grizzlies are expected to make a strong showing in track this season. Although only a few men worked out for the team, propspects were unusually good for a winning team. Condit, Ellet, Benson, Rigg, James, and Fowler were expected to be the most outstanding cinder artists. Condit is an excellent all-round track man but he is expected to rank especially high in the quarter-mile. He was being counted on by Coach Cornwell to turn in a new state record in that event. Ellet was also expected to bring home a state record in the javelin throw. He has thrown the spear consistently beyond the state mark all year. Fowler in the hurdles, James in the pole vault, and Benson in the 220-yard dash were all given excellent chances of capturing records. Besides the state meet at Parsons, the Grizzlies took part in a number of dual meets and in several interstate field meets.

In golf, prospects are better than ever for a successful year on the links. Gerald Jackson and Max Smiley, who composed the local team, are both excellent players and they are expected to rank high in the state golf tournament at Parsons. Tennis prospects are also good this year. A tournament was held for both the boys and girls and sixteen boys and eight girls entered the contests. Those on the boys team are Victor Boellner, Albert Silor, Donovan Rogers and Franz Newman. The girls team consisted of Betty Edwards and Nan Smith. Several meets have been planned with other schools for the tennis teams besides the state meet at Parsons. NINETEEN THIRTY Page Forty-eight EATU E THE GRIZZLY GROWL • • • Calendar September 9.
