uco racu Dean Walker guides Juco along her course with his noted quiet efficiency, ' n his Methods classes aspiring teachers learn how to administer the proper punish- ment to develish youngsters. H. A. Shumway, hired to teach the social sciences gives many a would-be business man his first dose of economics and business administration, and besides, all his classes are drilled thoroughly in counting off by two s. Students desiring to know the baffling intricacies of higher mathe- matics enroll under the accurate tutelage of Miss Wrestler. Mr. Dick combines good hard work with dry humor to make his physics class as enjoyable as possible. English and lessons in publishing an annual are given by Miss Milford. All freshmen pass through her classes and some come back for more. Students learn to appreciate literature and the stage under the genial guidance of Mr. Nixon. Why!, a play just wouldn ' t be a play without Mr. Nixon ' s direction. He teaches amateurish actors how to please audiences. Languages are taught by Miss Beuchat, who can speak sweetly even if we can ' t all understand her. The fascinating insides of bugs and plants dre laid bare by Miss Hutchinson in her zoology and botany classes. Who can ever forget her pleasing disposition in class, her patience in receiving late botany notebooks, and her kindness toward those who are a few minutes late to class? Even-tempered Mr. Coffman teaches the subject that is called chemistry by some, but something entirely different by those who have studied it. Mr. Mossman ' s history classes are noted for the rapt attention of the students — especially the feminine students. In his geology classes Mr. Choate teaches students to call unoffending little rocks by names we ' re sure they would resent if they were in a resentful mood. Miss Dail is the one teacher in school who gives minors and majors in one class. — Public School Music.

Oct. 1. As part of the Dramatics club initiation we had to wear old clothes to school. Adelia was a sight — all pinned up with safety pins. They made us eat horse- meat and crawl up stairs on our hands and knees. Oct. 4. Juco beat Ark City all to smash in football game tonight. Wheel How we doin ' ? Oct. 9. Heap big freshman-sophomore battle at Lake El Dorado. Silly freshies won, but sophs ate the most hot dogs. Oct. 10. I ' m fed up on chili — ugh. First went to the Y.W. chili feed then to the Phi Rho Pi party and it turned out to be a chili feed, too. Oct. 15. Mr. Nixon held try-outs for the play The- Dolls House. Oct. 17. Journalism club tried to have a scavenger hunt to-night but it rained on them so they ended up by playing Murder and Sardines at Nixon ' s. Oct. 18. To lola to Y.W. Conference. Crazy old bus dumped us all in the ditch and we had to wade in mud up to our knees to get out. You should have seen Miss Milford — and all the rest of us — washing our feet in the lavatory Oct. 22. Am I ever lucky. I didn ' t have to give my speech in Public Speaking to- day. Oct. 25. Had the best assembly to-day — a mock wedding put on by the boys — it was a scream. (Mr. Shumway made the sweetest ringbearer). Nov. 13. Had my picture taken for the annual — grinned like a goof — bet I looked pretty. Nov. 25. Started the day off wrong by being late for school followed by a shot- gun quiz in government. Nov. 27. School out for Thanksgiving vacation — whee ' no studying for four days.. Dec. 9. Whoops — can I parade. You should have seen me. The whole school trooped down town to campaign for the bonds. We sure showed the natives that they ' d better build a school house or something to coop us up in or else we ' d make quite a mob. Dec. 18. Very lovely tea for Pi Delta Theta given by the Nixons ' . Peggy found out who Mrs. Colby was and nearly broke up the party. Dec. 20. Christmas vacation finally here. Hope Santa brings me a fur coat and a car Dec. 30. No fur coat,- no car,- might as well goback to school — so I did. Jan. 9 Another all school party, nearly froze mv ears hunting that treasure Jan. 12. Cram, cram, cram. That ' s all got done to-c ' ay. Semester finals coming up and here I haven ' t read all the assignments Jan. 14. Dark when I came to schoo to take those finals — not that I was so eaqer to take them, but it was required. When I get to be Dean I ' m not going to make oeoole take finals on account of because they ' re so much rouble. Jan. 25. El Dorado won from Kansas City by one ooint in the basketball game to-night. Gee, it was a thrilling game. Jan. 29 In Botanv class Miss Hutch- inson lectured on Becoming Cultured in College. In other words, don ' t chew gum. Jan. 30. Dramatics club leap year oarty at Frazier ' s cabin. The girls invited the bovs because they all signed a petition not to ask a girl for a date for a month. The gi rls sure were gallant gentlemen, but the boys didn ' t have very feminine appetites. Feb. 7. Men debate team. Belew and Owens, have come home from the Hutch- inson tournament undefeated. Hows that? Feb. 10. Another leao year oarty — Y.W. this time. Had to muster up courage and ask a boy for a date — whew! Do you suooose it takes as much courage for a boy to ask a girl for a date, or do they become accustomed to it? Feb. 20. Almost late for class because I spent too much time watching the workmen tearing down the old high school building. Mar. 5. I ' m as stiff as a rocking horse, yesterday I went skating. Only fell down twice. Mar. 11. Dust storms again — they seem to have quite a love for El Dorado. Wish they ' d go away and blow in their own back yard. April. 3. Good old fashioned moving day. More fun. We ' re moving bag and baggage and more baggage than I ever saw into the junior high building. I coooed a swell locker on the main floor. It ' s like a three ring circus being in the same building with junior high and senior high. And the worst of it is that I can ' t watch all three rings at once. — J.C.

Student ounci The student Council is that student-governins body of the school that has remained so silent (so very silent) concerning its actions on making the college a better place to spend our leisure time . But since there isn ' t much bettering to be done, could we expect them to be so dreadfully active — definetely no. Each semester three members from each class are elected to serve for one semester. These, to- gether with the class president and the student president, compose the membership. The presi- dent of the Sophomore class presides while the president of the Freshmen class acts as secretary. The council ' s power is mostly that of recom- mendation, having little legislative authority — some ironical person would probably say none. However the council has passed on a great many of school problems, and on other plans for the betterment of the school. One of the outstanding plans which the council has taken up had to do with the building up of better school spirit. The council had a committee study this problem. The recommend ations from this committee set forth that better school spirit could be accomplished through the cooperation of all organizations and the school paper, as well as the individuals in the school. For the first semester these were the members of the council: Dorothea Bear, John Stackley, and Frank Ellis represented the sophomore class,- while Gordon Cary, Caroline Lindenbaum, and Bill Rice represented the freshmen. Dick Hudson acted as presiding officer and Bob Steiger as secretary. The second semester membership was changed to the following: Kenneth Secrist, Marjorie Gibson, and June Speechly representing the Sophomores, while Smitty Baker, Clarence Borger, amd Dorothy McCully represented the Freshmen. Gerald Groves acted as president, while Clarence Borger acted as secretary. Howard Belew was elected Student President at the beginning of the schoool year. The duties of this office are to represent the school at any time, and to serve as toastmaster at the spring banquet. For advice on troubling situations and problems the council resorted to their sponsors, Miss Beuchat, Dean Walker, and Mr. Shumway. Back row: J. Stackley, M- Baker, D. Hudson, H. Belew, G. Cary, J. Borger, B. Steiger, F. Ellis, C. Borger. Front row: K. Secrist, D. McCully, C. Lindenbaum, G. Groves, M. G ' bson, J. Speechly, Miss Beuchat, sponsor.
