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.
