Butler Community College - Grizzly Growl Yearbook (El Dorado, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 36 of the 1948 volume:

JJeoicati on On January 28, 1948, El Dorado Junior College suffered a great loss in the death of James Edmond Jim Frisby. Jim died doing that which he loved best — playing basketball. Al- though Jim was only eighteen years of age, he left his mark on his school and community. Jim was best known for his ability on the basketball court, where he had starred in high school and was continuing to star in Juco. Jim commanded great respect from his team mates, from his opponents, and from the spectators. We who knew Jim know that sporstmanship was only one of his many fine qualities. We also admired his easy- going friendliness, his deep love for his fellow man, his fine sense of humor, and his gentlemanly conduct. Jim ' s going leaves us with an emptiness which cannot be filled. It is with the sense of our great loss that we dedicate this yearbook to the memory of Jim Frisby. Juco is very fortunate in securing - able and experienced men to direct its educational program. Our Dean, Max Bickford, who has been faced with the task of making a success of his first year in Juco, is experienced in both teaching and supervising. Before becoming Dean of El Dorado Juco, Mr. Bickford taught in Denison Rural High School and in Enterprise High School. He was Superintendent of the Towanda Schools and later of the Douglass Schools, and he was Supervising Principal of the El Dorado Elementary Schools last year. He received his B. S. and M. S. from Kansas State C ollege at Manhattan. Dean Bickford, well liked by faculty and students for his capable administration and ready participation in all school activities, has indeed succeeded in making his first year in Juco a success- ful one. Superintendent Hughes, whose twenty-two years of service in El Dorado have made him a familiar and well-liked personality, also had ex- tensive experience before coming to our school system. In Fort Scott he was, successively, high school teacher, elementary school principal, and high school principal. He was Superintendent of Schools in Chanute and Principal of the Junior-Senior High School in Independence. He holds the following degrees: B. A. from Washburn College, M. A. from Pitts- burg State Teachers College, and Doctor of Humane Letters from Wash- burn College.

The will of the student body expresses itself through the student council ; therefore, it is the duty of the student council to carry out, whenever possible, the wishes of the students. The council is not a governing body. Rather, it is a group of students who make the decisions regarding certain school policies and who plan the numerous social events of the year. This year the men again greatly outnumbered the women. Again a large number of the students were married. These facts caused many headaches to the members of the dance committees. In spite of such problems, however, the dances were enjoyed by those who attended them. The leap year dance during WPA Week was especially successful, furnish- ing the women the opportunity to be the aggressors for a change, and giving the men ' s pocketbooks a welcome relief. Although the social events were important, they did not constitute the only problem faced by the student council. In making each decision, the members tried to carry out the wishes of the majority of the students. The members of the student council deserve much credit for the time and energy which they freely spent in behalf of the student body. fc omoies Tom Dugan President Dawson Bressie Vice-President Charles Fullinwider, Secretary-Treasurer Graduation day is always a day to remember. We, the Sophomore Class of 1948, will always cherish the pleasures we had while attending El-Juco, as we affectionately called El Dorado Junior College. The Sophomore Class, under the direction of its officers, Tom Dugan (president), Dawson Bressie (vice-president) and Charles Fullin- wider (secretary-treasurer) cannot be cited especially for the number of events sponsored. The class will be remembered, however, for the whole- sale enthusiasm and general efficiency which marked its activities. Late last year, while we were still freshmen, we enjoyed a spring picnic. This fall, to welcome the incoming freshmen, we set aside a day for their initiation, which culminated in a dance that evening. These were our contributions to the social life of the school. We truly regret that El Dorado Junior College will not be our Alma Mater next f ll, but pleasant memories of Juco will go with us throughout our lives.

This society is officially called Order of the Purple,- and the local chapter was granted its charter in May, 1937. No more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class may be chosen in a particular year. Election of these graduates is by secret ballot of the faculty and the student council, after a thorough discussion of the qualifi- cations of the candidates. Minimum requirements include a grade point average of two or more, one full year ' s enrollment at El Dorado Junior College, and the completion of twelve hours ' work each semester. This year the following students were honored by election to the Order of the Purple: Barbara Bowyer, Betty Jo Locke, George Harper, Beth DeLong, Howard Knaussman, Fred Doornbos, Richard Alley, Jack Barr, Frank Hall, and Velma Wheeler. L jleskwien L. D. Golike, President Jean Shepherd, Vice-President Since no organization can successfully carry out its functions with- out a little supervision by officers, the Freshman Class of ' 47- ' 48 held an election. We chose L. D. Golike as president, Jim Frisby as vice-president, and Jean Shepherd as secretary-trasurer. Since we were lowly freshmen, the mighty sophomores initiated us in the fall. All the freshies could be seen carrying the sophomores ' books, wearing clothes backwards, or pushing peanuts down the hall. After class that day we all went to the hill east of town to whitewash the letters, E. J. C. Next year many of us will be given a chance to take our revenge on the freshmen of ' 48- ' 49. Our class, as well as the school as a whole, was deeply saddened by the sudden death of our vice-president, Jim Frisby, who was a favorite of the entire student body.

Five games were played at the Community Field and four on foreign fields. The Grizzlies, coached by Joe Wallace, won two and lost two in the league. Outside of the league, the Grizzlies won three and lost two. In all, the gridders won five and lost four. Coach Wallace had fifteen lettermen back from last year ' s squad. Many of the boys were from different states. Spring practice was held during April and May of last year. The regular practice began August 15, with about forty boys reporting. As the season rolled along, the number of boys out for football dropped to twenty-eight. The team had one month before their first game, during which time they practiced tackling, blocking, passing, punting, and running through new plays. There are many men on any squad who receive no recognition ; yet if it were not for these men who help train the first string men, and who are on the field every day, taking as much punishment as the rest, we could never have a winning team. So, when we praise the team, let ' s not forget those who didn ' t quite get there but who tried just as hard as the others. Although the Grizzlies did not bring home the bacon as often as they had in some years, the club fought hard for E. J. C, and their fight- ing spirit continued throughout the season. That old do or die spirit was always with the boys wherever they played. 14 Many lettermen graduate this year, leav- ing vacancies to be filled next year. We feel that with the remaining lettermen and the new players, next year ' s team will be as successful as this one. Credit for the success of the team goes to Coach Joe Wallace and to Assistant Coach Bill Hill. Teams coached by Wallace are always teams drilled well on defense and offense. Honor was brought to our school by Wayne Van Dolah and Howard Bull Kelly. Wayne was placed on the ALL-STATE team as an end. Howard was given a berth on the LITTLE ALL-AMERICAN team as fullback.

They were powerful enough to out- point their opponents 880 to 856 in twenty- one conference and non-conference tilts. Under the able coaching of Joe Wallace, the Grizzlies got off to a grand start, as they were victorious over their first six oppon- ents. It was in the finals of the Indepen- dence invitational tournament that the Grizzlies first suffered a defeat. They were unable to outpoint the powerful Ark City quintet. At this point in the season, the Grizzlies were unable to keep up their speedy tactics, and they were defeated by a few of the stronger teams in the state by small point margins. Soon their luck changed as they tripped the Hutchinson five on the home court. This was the first time for several years that the Grizzlies were strong enough to drop the Hutch team. In the last conference tilt of the season, the Grizzlies pounded out a victory over the Ark City club in an overtime period. An extra event of juco basketball was the Kansas A. A. U. Tournament held in Wich- ita this year. As the Grizzlies marched against a number of the strongest teams in the state, they were powerful enough to capture fourth place honors. Coach Wallace and his team are to be complimented for keeping El Dorado on top as having an outstanding ball club. They certainly have done a grand job this year. 16 KANSAS A. A. U.

In a triangular meet at El Dorado, Hutchinson walked off with first place, and El Dorado came up with second place. Ark City finished third in the meet. In a dual meet with Wichita University B track team, the Juco men scored forty- nine points to Wichita ' s seventy-two points. The track squad still has several meets to attend and from all indications will give a good showing. Lee Casida is coaching the speedsters this year. Last year ' s track squad had a successful season. In a triangular meet at Hutchinson they finished second, with Hutchinson winning and Dodge City taking third. In the Baker Relays, the El Dorado Juco track men finished second in the mile relay. The Coffeyville Relays proved very successful for El Dorado, since the squad won the mile relay, finished second in the half-mile relay, and third in the 440-yard relay. In the state Junior College Track Meet, held at El Dorado, the Juco track men took third place. All in all, the track squad had a very successful season under the coaching of Joe Wallace. 18 Mr. Sparm is again organizing the Juco golfers and net men. The following men are out for golf this year: Gorsuch, Stone, McQuade, Beal, and Lawrence. The State Golf Tournament will be held in El Dorado this year ; also, plans are being made for some dual matches. Last year ' s golf team won matches from Coffeyville and Chanute and lost to Independence. In the State Golf Tournament last year, the Juco golfers took third place. The Juco golf team has good prospects for the state meet again this year. The Juco net men for this year are Black, Allen, Pound, Van Dolah, and Mannion. The state tournament will be held in El Dorado this year, and the men hope to give a better account of themselves than last year ' s players, who were eliminated in the early rounds of the state meet. During the season last year, the Juco tennis team won one match and lost three to other junior college tennis teams. Playing on their home courts, the men should give a good account of themselves in the state tournament.

The following - officers were elected : John Ivy, president ; Ray Adams, vice-president ; George Harper, secretary-treasurer ; Glen Conine, sergeant-at-arms ; and Howard Knaussman, student council representative. Permanent membership in the Varsity Club is gained by earning a letter in any major sport. Each candidate goes through a rugged initiation before becoming a full-fledged member. At the beginning of this year, the club consisted of twenty-four mem- bers, carried over from last year. This year, thirty men lettered in foot- ball, thirteen of whom became new members of the club. Five new letter- men earned membership by lettering in basketball. The total membership at the close of the basketball season numbered forty-four. Several meetings were held this year. Activities included participa- tion in all school affairs, and projects for obtaining money to pay debts. The annual Varsity Club banquet is to be planned later in the final semester. 20 Cskeek L.eaoei$ BPH BFif w Jk :. 1 - ■ [•■ ' ■ cliSs ; ' Ii r Jlifc IlliSt W]m ; JMlIf - ne M ■ WF m W ' W ' W ZZmM Hp - ■« « W w mMU If 41 fflp t - ■ - ' ' ¥ ll wMm v m mmm i .v; J| ' v ' pif •.-. 1§ : , . fjpsf «{ m wJg M$. .■■..: ' ' ; JiBillBlffiiH : ° ' ifiSSIi Blifc fcilliipi-; ; , ' • ' HHBHBf IS t llifiSiii i© 5 ' ' : i| r f r . ; ; - y !

Euwal Barton, that super tumbler, added color and loveliness to the cheer leading. The cheer leaders and the Gold Diggers hope that next year the good sportsmanship and the lively interest of the student body will con- tinue to improve.

Throughout the school term, the Grizzly Growls, Juco weekly publication, has had not one, not two, but four editors, plus an associate editor. At the beginning of the school year, Charles Fullinwider was elected editor, and in this capacity he served faithfully during the first semester. When the second semester began, Charles entered another college, and Paul O ' Neal and Barbara Bowyer were selected as co-editors. However, Paul soon withdrew from school, and Barbara resigned because of outside work. The members of the club assembled and selected Jim McKinney editor, with Velma Wheeler as his assistant. Jim has done a very com- mendable job. He and the other members of the group have accomplished much, in spite of occasional uninterested students, late contributions, and lazy reporting. Although the going has sometimes been rough, those students who remained in the club have enjoyed their experiences and have contributed much to the welfare of the student body of E. J. C. According to the available lists, other members were Beth DeLong, Jane Ruth, Betty Jo Locke, Betty Jo Pendergrass, Cordelia Dennis, Yvonne Perego, Jo Ann Willaby, Betty Barton, Shirley Seeber, Paul Flint, Bob DeLong, Ralph Prewitt, David Walk, Bill Hartnett, Marilyn Mardis, Tom Garland, Tom Day, Lois Graf, Marcia Godding, Howard Knaussman, Ray Adams, Jim Thompson, Bob Stone, and Pat Baughman. Mr. Nixon sponsored the group. 22 To all who stared in amazement at dignified Jucoites dashing down the hall to corner other equally dignified Jucoites ; to all who listened with amazement to the ensuing arguments and desperate pleas for articles, snapshots, and class pictures; the Grizzly Growls ' Staff wishes to make this statement: the before-mentioned activities were not designed merely to entertain spectators but rather were bent toward getting this, the 1948 yearbook, to you on time. The staff organized early in the semester and immediately began to work on the book. Before much progress could be made, the officers had to be chosen. Frank Hall was appointed editor, Shirley Seeber associate editor, and competent students were chosen for the other positions on the staff. Stated: Mr. Greenbank.

Prices of printing and engraving were high, the selection of subjects for publication was difficult, and deadlines were sometimes hard to meet. Nevertheless, the staff has tried to make the book representative of the entire student body, a yearbook of which the school can feel proud. Staff members wrote most of the articles; but Tom Dugan, Jean Shepherd, Dell Reed, Bud Knowles, Fred Doornbos, Ray Adams, Dick Alley, and Miss Macy Fay Hukle also contributed articles. The excellent pic- tures furnished by our photographer, Chuck Hollis, were supplemented by the snapshots contributed by Lynn Hepler, Virgil Grange, Jack Simon, and others. Dean Bickford and other faculty members offered valuable sug- gestions and encouragement. As the book goes to press, the entire staff wishes to extend sincere thanks to all who have in any way contributed to the 1947-1948 yearbook. 23 Standing in foreground: Betty Jo Locke (president).

Pi Delta Theta, Dramatics Club of El Dorado Junior College, pre- sented two three-act plays this year. The club had thirty members. Those students who were outstanding in dramatics were eligible for Delta Psi Omega, the National Honorary Dramatics Fraternity. Officers of Pi Delta Theta this year were : Marcia Godding, president ; Marilyn Mardis, vice-president; and Velma Wheeler, secretary-treasurer.

Zypiina Play The spring play, Moliere ' s The Imaginary Invalid, a comedy verg- ing on the farcial, was presented by a competent cast on April 29-30. The annual openhouse of Pi Delta Theta and Delta Psi Omega was held on the stage immediately after the play. 26 The student nurses of Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital School of Nursing have a thirty-six months ' course of train- ing, which includes approximately 1050 hours of theory. This training is taken partly at the El Dorado Junior College, partly at Children ' s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City, Missouri, and partly at St. Louis City Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri. The practical experience is taken in the following departments: Medical, Surgical, Obstetrics, Surgery, and Diet Kitchen. This plan follows the course as recommended by the State Board of Nurse Examiners. OunTl utees It is the purpose of the nursing school to create and maintain a standard worthy of the highest ideals of the nurs- ing profession and to offer such valuable instruction and experience that the best type of young women will be enrolled and graduated. This year ' s class, pictured above in the chemistry labor- atory, included the following young women (left to right) : Ellen Dundas, Mildred Pressnell, Maxine Bell, Etta Pearman, Katherine Dundas, Belvalee Doye.
