SING SONGS OF- This yearthree musical organizations represented the college at outside affairs. These appeared frequently at assemblies and were met with a great deal of enthusiasm. The Girls ' Trio, composed of Frances Snyder, soprano; Juanita Thompson, second soprano,- Myriam Anderson, alto,- and George Griffith, accompanist, was one of the most popular musical groups in town. They sang at teas, churches, club and school programs, and many other places. The girls worked hard and they well deserve their popularity. The boys ' quartette changed personnel almost entirely second semester. First semester the mem- bers were Jack Tanner, first tenor,- Clark Owens, second tenor,- R. J. Shields, baritone,- and Roland Ferguson, bass. For the second semester the following members: Frank Brenzikofer, first tenor Clark Owens, second tenor,- J. D. Hill, baritone,- and George Elson, bass. This group also was always received with acclaim by the studen body,- their repertoire was quite varied. The string quartette appeared at teas, pro- grams, plays, and at many others activities. This group was excellently trained,- they played chamber music. The members of this group are Emma Ricet Juanita Thompson, George Griffith, and Clifford, Clayton. Girls trio: F. Snyder, J. Thompson, M. Anderson, accompanist, G. Griffith. Boys quartette: F. Brenzi- kofer, C. Owens, G. Elson, J. D. Hal! String quartette: Emma Rice, Juanita Thompson, C. Clay- ton, G. Griffiths. The Junior College mixed chorus, quartettes, and several solo numbers went to Pittsburg to the Spring Music Festival. There were very favorable comments received on all the numbers. This is the first year that very much has been done along musical lines. Much of the credit goes to Miss Dail who has worked so long and hard to make these organizations successful.

SCIENCE CLUB Like other school organizations, the Science Club has noticed a decrease in membership and attendance this year because of disrupted sched- ule. But in spite of all the resulting confusion we have had quite an interesting year. Officers having been previously elected, ectivi- ties got under way at once after the opening of school. Frank Ellis served as president filling the vacancy left by Norman Overholser, Virgil Tyler acted as secretary-treasurer, and S. H. Coffman as sponsor. And now, to skim over the activities of the year: two projects were taken up— short-wave radio and micro-photography, and the telescope was completed. A motion picture on Boulder Dam was obtained and proved quite instructive two talkies and a demonstration on light were given by the Kansas Gas and Electric Co.; Col- loids and Colloidal Solutions was the subject of a talk given by Frank Ellis; Ralph Redburn gave an interesting as well as humorous talk on Louisiana; Elvin Brickley, former president of the club, told of his work at K.U.; Otis Wrench spoke on radio and Lola Mae Barnhill gave a very interesting lecture on flexible glass; and lastly in the category of events, there was a trip to Wichita and the big feed at which seventy- three hamburgers were consumed by nineteen persons. And to finish the year off right there was a big all night outing. — V.T. C. Stone, J. Stackley, F. Ellis, D. Dial, T. Bullock, S. H. Coffman sponsor, V. Tyler.

FOOT BALL HEROES Soggy fields, mud plastered from head to foot, unpleasant weather — these are some of the most lasting remembrances of the football squad. Like club memberships the squad began to diminish. Nevertheless, by the very faith- ful work of Tommy and the interest that he created the football team remained in- tact. Even in his spare time Tommy would spend hours helping the players secure jobs, keeping them eligible, and giving them other aids. As was the precedent established for a year or so, Juco failed to carry home the laurels. In fact we were quite far from them. Of the nine games played, three were won; two were tied,- and four were lost. Throughout the season the Grizzlies played without a definite captain. After the close of the season — in December at the Football Banquet — Tom Keefer was elected honorary captain of the preceding season. At the same time Gordon Cary was elected captain of the ' 36 team. Many interesting things happened during the season — mud at every game, the crowd leaving the Emporia Teachers Reserve game at the half and missing the best part of the game, cooing and cuddling under fur coats and blankets on the sidelines, frequent sub- stitutions, exciting moments when the ball was near the goal line. But after summing it all up, a number of the squad received mention on the all- conference team compiled by the various Kansas newspapers. Cassell, Hudson, Bar- ker, and Richey received honorable men- tion from the Independence paper. Secrist and Barker were given honorable mention on the all star team selected by the coaches in a poll conducted by the lola Register. The Fort Scott Tribune placed Barker on the first team, and Cassel on the honorable mention. — J.S. EJC o P . Parsons 6 6 Arkansas City 23 lola 32 Independence 18 Ft. Scott 25 Emp. Teach.
