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. M 19

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

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
