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.

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.
