Throughout the year, the staff has tried to capture and to put into concrete form the elusive pirit of JUCO. Dedication - - - In a football pep assembly, cheerleaders Billie Jane Mong, Don Schlesinger, Carol Burton, Bob Biles, and Wanda Jean Harris leap high on the stage while leading the student body in one of the school yells. Members of the Pep Band stand in the back- ground, conferring about their next selection. What (Is gckooi fyilitl School spirit is that indefinable quality which makes the difference between a genu- ine educational institution and a mere larnin ' factory. School spirit is more than cheering at school games, more than attend- ing all of the school functions, more than working to make the honor roll, more than adopting a new mascot, even such a moscot as Gruffy T. Grizzly, whom the annual staff here proudly pictures. School spirit is all of these, plus that deep-rooted loyalty which springs only from the hearts of the students. It is to that spirit that the annual staff dedi- cates this book. Left to right: Superintendent J. F. Hughes, Dean Max Bickford, and Office Clerk Ethyl Lange. (jLomiuxshaiots 0(1 me Ulachinel v The three figures pictured above need no formal introduction to JUCO-ites. Dean Bickford ' s sense of humor and understanding - of human nature are as evident in the office or in the classroom as at football games or at school parties. JUCO students have learned that when they take their problems to the office, sympathetic discussion, if not positive solution, is forthcoming. Superintendent Hughes is more of a behind the scenes work- er, who liberally applies the oil of wisdom and kindness to keep the administrative machin- ery in running order. Mrs. Lange ' s contagious vitality and limitless patience lend an in- viting atmosphere of informality to The Office.

Rather, teachers are individuals who cheer loudly at football games, who like music, litera- ture and the theater, and who are just as disappointed when they have to pen that ugly P or F on test papers as are the recipients. The teachers join with the student body in praising JUCO ' s faithful friend and helper, Mr. J. A. Manion. Ever courteous, ever cooperative, ever efficient, Mr. Manion is JUCO ' s nomination for the ideal school custodian and general Mr. Fixit. May he spend many more happy years at JUCO. J. A.

First semester council president was Jim Thompson; when Jim left at the close of the semester, the students elected Dell Reed, first semester vice president, as president. Presiding, Jim Thompson.

Although the group pictured above has the appearance of thoughtful tranquil- lity, the Student Council has been far from inactive this year. Among other activities, the Council sponsored a get-acquainted party, an all-school dance, and a pep rally. In addition, the Council arranged for a bus to take the Band and the Pep Club to Iola, in- vited students of Butler County high schools to attend the homecoming game, helped manage the March-of -Dimes campaign, and combined a W. P. A. dance with a King- Queen contest for the benefit of the annual staff. Long-range projects were the election of cheerleaders for the year, the management of the concession stand at the football games, the inauguration of a flower fund, and the formation of definite plans for re- modeling the Den. As this book goes to press, the Council plans for the future include Senior Day for high school students of the surrounding area. Thus, through worthwhile activities, the Student Council continues to solidify the spirit of JUCO. 19 Valietu in the Valsitu Cluo Things have been popping in the Varsity Club this year — the adoption of the Den, the nomination of a Wheatshock- er Queen candidate, a dance at the Loc-Mor, and a Christmas gift for Coach Douglass, the sponsor. Plans for the future include initiation of new mem- bers, and perhaps a party, hayrack ride, or weiner roast.

The Science Club held a number of day meetings, during which members discussed current scientific prob- lems or lecturers presented such subjects as oil refining, astronomy, and photography. At night meetings, the club members carried out projects in photography, electroplating, telescope construction and in other similar fields. Left to right: Mr. S. H.

A fighting Grizzly eleven roared onto the gridiron last fall to annex five victories out of nine starts, plus a tie for second in the western conference. The Grizzlies won from Tola, Parsons, Garden City, Pratt, and Ark City, and were pounded into submission by Emporia State B, Hutchinson, Chanute, and Dodge City. Although there were only twenty-seven men out for the fall sport, they were a bunch of fighters who tossed defeat aside and into the faces of some good teams. This year ' s Grizzly team averaged only 168 pounds, which was from five to twenty pounds less than the average weight of any team they played. But even with such a handicap in both weight and manpower, the Bears couldn ' t help winning, what with the running of Hippity Hop Graham and Twinkle Toes Shafer, along with the fighting heart of Little Pence and the line busting which was done by General Kennedy and by Don Careless Love, together with the kicking display by P. P. Ewart and Wheel O ' Neal. Such a bevy of backs would have been in vain if it had not been for the interfer- ence that was led by Harold The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You Bay, and a stone wall line as was displayed by Wimpy Womp Alford, Clay Highest Scorer Lumpkins, Paul Zeke Bartholow, John They Went Thata way Baker, Dean Cowboy Davis, Bud Get Out of My Way Knowles, and Tharon Therm Bauman. Such a line had able substitutes in ends, such as Jim Lininger and Dell Reed ; tackles like Dewey Powell, Clyde Hill and John Cousland ; with guards like Craig Lilley, Ted Wertz, George Osterhout, Don McLaughlin and Carl Parsons ; and high caliber centers like Merl Mitchel and Wes- ley Poe. But where would such a team be without a trainer — especially a trainer like Barney Hand Me the Tape Morris? The students and faculty of El Dorado Juco have every reason to hold high their heads with pride for such a gallant and fighting team and for such a swell coach as head coach Robert Douglass and assistants Lee Casida and Dan Blaine. All displayed the fine sort of school spirit which was the aim of Juc o in 1948-1949. 25 Uumo Golieae football cheoule YEAR OF 1948-1949 El Dorado Opponent September 23 Emporia B 25 October 1 - 13 lola ... 6 October 8 13 Chanute 29 October 15 19 Pratt 7 October 22 - - 19 Parsons 13 October 28 - - Hutchinson 19 November 6 - - 39 Garden City November 12 12 Dodge City 34 November 22 19 Arkansas City gtatisti a El Dorado Opponents First Downs - 95 98 Yards from Scrimmage - 1683 1283 Passes Attempted - 96 117 Passes Completed - 35 43 Yards from Passes - - 597 554 Passes Intercepted - - 11 13 Kicks ------ 47 45 Yards from Kicks - - - 1583 1732 Penalties ----- 63 69 Yards Lost from Penalties 370 280 Fumbles ----- 45 36 Opponents ' Fumbles recovered 12 17 Mil Wmffi I llll I iffl tyiattiB mm mm 26 I .

The El Dorado Junior College basket- ball quintet started the season in fine style by winning their first three games against Iola, Parsons, and Chanute respectively. It was in the fourth game that the hex was thrown on the Grizzlies, when Fort Scott edged El Dorado in the closing sec- onds of the overtime game which was played at El Dorado. Then the locals traveled to Chanute to play in the eight team invitational tournament held at that city. El Dorado turned in a one-win two- loss record for the tournament, having lost to Chanute and Independence and winning over Iola in their final game. Immediately following the tournament, the Grizzlies began their loop games in the traditionally tough Western Junior College Conference; and again the plague overtook the El Doradoans, for they drop- ped eleven consecutive games, nine of which were conference games. Then fol- lowed two consecutive wins over Central College of McPherson, both games being won by a wide margin. El Dorado finish- ed the season by dropping their final con- ference game to Ark City. The final rec- ord showed El Dorado having six wins in twenty-one starts. El Dorado began the season with an entirely new team, for there was but a single returning veteran from last year ' s team. Soon after the season commenced, the team suffered the loss of several play- ers because of various causes. Although the Grizzlies did not enjoy a success- ful season in the conference, the students of Juco readily extend their sincere thanks to Coach Bob Douglass and his charges for their great amount of work and effort. Even though the six wins for El Do- rado were all non-conference, the Griz- zlies showed power in whipping the Cha- nute team in an early season game, and also by turning in two wins over Central College of McPherson late in the season. The team played ten games on their home court and eleven games away and were forced to postpone only one game during the entire season. 30 ; %o.;-2 i? . . .. , . ... . . ... ... ■ ' : ■ :,: BASKETBALL SCORES (1948-1949) El Dorado 49 lola - 37 El Dorado 41 Dodge City 47 39 Parsons - 37 50 Parsons 55 61 Chanute - - 60 32 Garden City 44 67 Fort Scott 69 (Overtime) 39 McPherson 20 38 Hutchinson 57 64 McPherson 41 33 Pratt 57 33 Ark City 55 27 Ark City 37 45 Chanute 50 Chanute Invi tational Tournament 39 Hutchinson 58 44 Pratt 57 El Dorado 55 Chanute 68 36 Garden City 52 52 Independence 61 54 Dodge City - 71 37 lola - 30 31 Qucc places Csrtonatien During the first week in April, the student council cooperated with the yearbook staff in managing a contest to elect a Yearbook Queen and a Yearbook King. The freshmen chose as candidates Betty Elmborg, Billie Mong, Verda Nye, Paul Bartho- low, Edward Bradbury, and Jim Lininger. The sophomores nominated Lois Graf, Betty Jo Pendergrass, Barbara Sweeney, Ralph Austin, Calvin Pence, and Dell Reed. Votes were sold in the office for a penny a vote, and twenty-five votes were given with each ticket for the dance held Friday night, April 8. At the dance, the members of the annual staff, in an appropriate ceremony fea- turing spotlights and music, crowned Betty Elmborg as Queen and Edward Bradbury as King. The yearbook staff is proud to picture here the coronation ceremony. Long live Queen Betty — long live King Edward ! 33 Grizzlies Qn ty ivtc fyolts Since this book goes to press early in April, sports editors can do little more than list the schedule for meets and the entry list for events.

As this article is written, the team is working hard and is planning to meet the Arkansas City team once more and to meet the Hutchinson team twice. The state tennis tournament will be held here in El Dorado in May, and it is hoped that the local team will turn in a creditable performance then. 35 ynhamuiai Clames tile jun . . .
