Last fall a different type of drama, a mountaineer play, Moonshine and Honeysuckle was given before a large audience. This spring dramatics is to be further encouraged by the presen- tation of the fourth play — another comedy Big Hearted Herbert . Pi Delta Theta has grown from a membership of thirty- two when it was first organized in the winter of 1927-28 to one of forty, its present size. The able leadership of the president, Marjorie Neumann and the rest of the officers has contributed much to the club s prestige. Moyne Lichlyter, the vice-presi- dent, and Wilma Jean Grant, the secretary both have appeared in plays as have most of the members. The economical financing of the club has been due to the efforts of Rosemary Scott the trea- surer, and to Betty Lu Steere 3 the publicity agent. This year sees something new in the club ' s activities in that from now on the club is going to present a one act play every tivo months during the school year in addition to the two major plays it already presented. Delta Psi Omega, the local chapter of the national dramatic honor society, has augmented its membership this year to eight members. The officers are Marjorie Neumann, president; Myriam Anderson, vice-president; and Clarence Kerns, secretary-treasur- er. At Christmas time an interesting initiation was held which centered around the theme of the masque and jester. 8 I never saw a star so bright might well apply to the mu- sic department of El Dorado Junior College. The orchestra and the mixed chorus are stars of the first magnitude in the musi- cal firmament of Juco. Fortunately our enrollment furnished a number of instrumentalists whose combined efforts made the or- chestra, tho small in size, a success. Every public appearance was appreciatively received. Mr. Wallingford conducted the or- chestra most ably. The mixed chorus, our largest musical organization, was directed by Miss Dail. This year of trills and scales, of do, re, mi ' s and la I la 11 la 1 si 11 is one the members will remem- 9 You may reap your fill of knowledge And be athletic too; You may join the clubs and classes, And still be rather blue; But learn to hum or whistle, And you will find it true, That you ' re right in style in Juco, And we ' ll all be, All for you I ber for several praiseworthy performances. The outstanding program of the year was the Christmas Cantata presented Decem- ber 22 at the City Auditorium. All of the High School and Jun- ior College music organizations combined to give this program under the direction of Miss Dail. The string quartette also were stellar performers in our musical world. For assemblies, for teas, for club programs, these four violinists were in demand. Betty Lu Steere, Emma Rice, Juanita Thompson, and Clifford Clayton were the members of this popular quartette. 10 S ofr-h ©Tno e.

We sophomores are well aware of the elusiveness of time. With graduation so near, with our Juco days so nearly over, all of us are trying to enjoy the new building, our associations in clubs, and even our reports and experiments. Our short experience of this new school life will remain in our memories as one of our most pleasant experiences, and we know that jucoites to come will enjoy all of the conveniences and op- portunities of our new school. 13 FA sfrwoCYV.

Remember we ' re only Silly Frosh but next year think how we can rule over the new Freshmen (the very thought gives one a sense of well-being) . I remember when we were enrolling and trying to find the easiest courses to take, I distinctly overheard a Sophomore say, Look at those Frosh, poor saps. They always get hooked for the tough- est courses . We think we ' re lucky to be the first group of Freshmen to attend school in the new building. It ' s a wonderful addition to our school system, and we all appreciate it. It ' s been a great old year — lots of ups and plenty of downs but they make life interesting. So I say here ' s to more and bet- ter JucoiteSj and long may they remember Juco days. — Just any Frosh 17 LY GROWLS STAFF Editor Peggy Smith Ass ' t.

In Juco this supervision is vested in the student council — the organization that acts as the governing body of our school. Its membership is composed of representatives; each club has one representative; and the class presidents attend. The student council began work immediately, electing as its officers Clarence Borger, president; Grant Salisbury, vice-president; and Dorothy McCully, secretary. The sponsors of this group ? ere Miss Wrest- ler, Mr. Shumway, and Mr. C off man. Their work began by providing for the assembly programs, the working out of a standard school sticker and a school pennant, and they selected the editor and co-editor of this annual. Then to aid new students in getting acquainted, this organization spon- sored two all-school parties, one at the first of each semester. 19 Science is con- stantly confronted with difficult ob- stacles. Perhaps this is what makes it so interesting, but too often, these exces- sive difficulties tend to be discoura- ging. Our own sci- ence club has certainly had more than its share of difficul- ties during the past school year. The result was that their progress, at first, was quite slow. T he reason is most apparent, in that this organization was probably the one most handicapped by our former crowded conditions during the erection of our new school building. However, this club rallied true to its colors and many interesting experiments have been performed during the last few weeks of school. The members elected as their president, Stanley Bullock; and with the aid of their able sponsor, Mr. Coffman, this combination presented one of the most interesting organiza- tions in our school. Needless to say, it is really quite in- structive, too. The Gold Diggers and the Purple Pansies are two of the pep- piest organizations in E. J. C. Any student in junior college may become a member of these clubs and take part in the many ac- tivities which they sponsor. Among the many activities this year were the football and basketball banquets, pep assemblies, the election of the King and Queen of Sports (Clarence Borger and Marjorie Shriver) , and the election of the school cheer leaders (Marjorie Shriver, Lor- en James, and Lowell James). Chiefly responsible for leadership in pep and enthusiasm, were the officers: Peggy Smith, Maxine Reed, Marjorie Shriver, Emma Rice, and Miss Beuchat. The officers of the Purple Pansies were Clarence Kerns, Junior Cooley, Gilbert Cherryholmes, and Mr. Coffman. i % n s j o Q ALMA MATER El Dorado, we bring to thee Our devotion and loyalty Alma Mater, wealth untold.

Nine games were lost by less than six points. Exciting tilts ended in defeat after the boys had put up a tough fight. It seemed to be our fate that we should lose by one or two points in the last few minutes of a game. But if this record appears poor to the observer remember that the Grizzlies were hard opponents and greatly respected by other teams in the conference. Injuries, ineligibilities, and hard luck seemed to dog our footsteps, but when the regular team was on the floor they dis- played plenty of power. They knocked off two of the loop lead- ers — Coffeyville and Parsons— in a thrilling manner. Everyone that saw our boys in action should truly commend them for their fine work. So let us pause, and give credit to the boys of the cage who fought for El Dorado Juco. Clarence Borger was captain of the team throughout the sea- son. The other squad members were Leo Hullihan, Phil Elliott, Charley Davis, John Hutter, Smitty Baker, Toady Raymond, J. Har- land Smith, James Logan, Doc McClure, Larry Ewalt, Bill Moter, Tommy Wilmarth, Gilbert Cherryholmes, and Richard Ke ller. o 24 dosJdaM Even tho our Juco pigskin carriers didn ' t win many games last fail they made opposing teams consider them a continuous threat . The fellows were handicapped because of several injuries and few available men to substitute. However, the fellows kept right on fighting and presented unto the fans some very scrappy football games. Some of the Grizzlies returning next year show promise of being star players and we know they will help win many a glori- ous battle for E. J. C. 25 Vcuislty This year has been one of very marked advance for the Var- sity Club. The club ' s membership was boosted considerably last fall with the entrance of the boys who made letters in football. Then, after moving into the new school building, the club set a definite time for meetings and since then the meetings have been well attended and very interesting. The Varsity Club elected new officers for the second semes- ter and they have been largely responsible for promoting more interest in the club. The officers are: Robert Lewis, presi- dent; J. Harland Smith, secretary-treasurer; Max Ferguson, ser- gent-at-arms; and Coach Roberts, sponsor. The first highlight of the Varsity Club program for this year was the fall banquet held December 11. This gala affair was followed by the Varsity Club — E Club basketball game of Mar. 16. That night the excited spectators who filled the building saw the Varsity Club rise to the height of its power by trimming the E Club in a close game. The final highlight, of the year for the club is the Spring Varsity Club Banquet. The goal the Varsity Club is striving for is the advance- ment of athletics and good sportsmanship in E. J. C— C.

Do you re- member it was the book Wilma Jean reviewed for us at our Y. W. cabinet meeting at Rach- el ' s back in Juco days. I guess that got me started thinking about our Y. W. meetings. I ' ve had so many occasions to use the ideas I got in our club . If I only knew Dolly ' s or Rachel ' s addresses, I ' d send for some of the music we used to sing. Our Sunday School Class gave a masquerade box supper last week and I copied the Idea from orie as a way of making mon- I can still see the Dean as Goliath the Giant and Lady Nix- on.

June knew every girl in school and she Iways remembered to send them cards if they were out of school. Wouldn ' t it be fun to be back at Juco and see Miss Mil- ford and Miss Wrestler? ■ Hi ey The meetings which are most outstand- ing in my mind were the Thanksgiving Dinner at the Methodist Church, the Soup Supper, the meeting on Lent, and the Valentine Exchange. I always marveled at the way all the girls took part and made the meetings go over. used to think 55 or 40 girls a good group but I suppose they have 75 or 100 by now. I wonder how they are getting along with the commissions. Everyone seemed very much interested in them when we graduated. Wasn ' t it too bad that we couldn ' t stay and help them prepare for the conference the year after we graduated. Here I ' ve raved on and on. Write and tell me about any of the girls you hear from. Lovingly yours, Alice Gfeller The Young Men ' s Chris- tian Association is a union of students and faculty members for the purpose of creating, and maintaining high standards of Chri stian ideals throughout our school and community. About thirty men as active members accepted this responsi- bility, and received their membership in the national Y. M. C. A. A variety of meetings was made possible through the good work of cabinet members. They all seemed to be untiring in their efforts to further the program of the as- sociation. Kenneth Locke, as president of the association, proved a real leader. Clarence Kerns was responsible for an evening of informal fun at an election party . Mel- vin Murphy saw to it that we were entertained with gDod music at all our meetings and organ- ized a quartette. Be cause Clarence Borger was enthusiastic we able to present and church services at near by towns. Good publicity, contributed by Jimmie Baker helped to make the organ- ization an outstanding one. Gilbert Cherryholmes repre- sented the association in the Student Council, Loren James proved a big helo with his work in devotion. And without Mr. Dick ' s un- erring advice and the Dean ' s splendid cooperation, we could never have accomplished so much. were community One of the biggest steps taken this year was the organization of the Student Christian Movement. This work calls for study of local, na- tional, and international problems of vital interest to all students. This movement is sponsored jointly by the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. — Kenneth Locke The Juco Debate Squad this year had a very active and con- centrated debate season. The teams attended the Kansas State Meet, the Southwest Divisional, and the Savage Invitational Meet, held in Durant, Oklahoma. This was all in adition to attending the invitation and practice tournaments held by vari- olar colleges in Kansas. The active squad this year was made up of two debate teams — Kenneth McCaffree and Oscar Guinty; Juanita Rockwood and Wil- bur Harms. Members of Phi Rho Pi who added much to the success of the organization are Maryalyce King, who competed in reading contests in several tournaments; Loyd Breakey, Marjorie Sparks, Warren Duncan, Morris M oon, all debaters who jarticipated in inter-collegiate tournaments. Kenneth McCaf f ' ree was entered in the oratorical declamation contests in almost every tournament. Juanita Rockwood entered in after-dinner speaking contests. Members of both debate teams were extemp speakers as well and placed in several contests. The results of the work of the 1937 squad may be seen in the college trophy cases. — Juanita Rockwood v 7 %h ' ■ ' jm ' Z ' % UBLISHED BY .-- -CHICAGO— ■ - Illl !li„ ■111 H i Hit I I 1$ ,Ji| 1 HIIILll Ulfllltll [HBUIRtlim m pi i ' ■: i :, BIB m ■ ; ' iiii iiiii j: j!i-! hi t III lii ' l ' Li! ■■ M l!i : ' V!: ulttlinntUH ' IP 1 ■ I ill :: ' ' 1 ■ ■ main mt- s .  T ■ ■v. ♦ W v ' .« H f a - • . i - . rw ♦ ' ' •a ' J f %  - ' y, R 5k - k § r3 • -? 1 1 4 3T ?a ' J -J. f ' ' JT-4L f 5T5l ZJLjt mRV. - ' ' ( JM T l 7 « hh .T Vt.
