Dean Max Bickford has said, In perusing the annual it would be possible to get the idea that Juco is ' all work and no play. ' This is not true. El Dorado Junior College is constantly on the alert to raise academic standards and make classwork more practical. Shown here are Juco students at work. In the picture at upper left, Mr. Nixon ' s speech class listens as Marjorie Ruckert takes her speaking turn. At left center, Juco students work on next day ' s assignments. In the circle, Mr. Christy explains a display to his Distributive Education class. At lower left, Mr. Douglass instructs his woodwork class in the use of a power saw. In the picture at lower right, Mr. Coffman ' s chemistry class works out an experiment. cv J- ACTIVITIES

jnF $•% GRIZZLIES BIG SUCCESS Grab your bearskin coats, derbies, and pennants and let ' s amble out to the grid- iron where the Grizzlies are racking up another victory. Ah, yes, ' tis the time of year when that good old American sport of FOOTBALL reigns supreme, and this year finds E.J. C. emerging from another successful season. Although we finished third in the conference, we lost only three games, two of which, as luck would have it, were to conference foes. The Grizzlies started the gridiron season off slowly with a 24-24 tie with the All-Stars, a team composed of former E. J. C. players. Two weeks later they came back with a thumping 29-0 victory over Emporia B, avenging last year ' s defeat. Ark City was the next victim of the Grizzly attack to the tune of 13-7. The next week, though, our hard-fighting team went down to a 21-12 defeat at the hands of the Chanute Ravens, but quickly rebounded by subduing Pratt 16-7 and rolling to a hard-fought 13-12 decision over Independence. When the fellows went West to Dodge City, they found that the Law of Averages had finally caught up with them, and they emerged battered but unbroken, on the short end of a 21-6 count. The clash at Hutchinson found the Grizzlies outplaying the Dragons until the fourth quarter, when the Dragons ' long- line of reserves proved to be too much, grinding out a 26-7 victory. But the team show- ed that it wasn ' t down and out by routing Garden City the next week end by a lop-sided score of 65-13, to end the 1949-1950 football season. Coach Bob Douglass proved once again that he is an extremely capable m aster of the gridiron, and in doing so was ably assisted by Assistant Coach Lee Casida. Al- though he did not have a large squad this year, Coach Douglass rounded the boys into an outstanding ball club that died very hard indeed. For the first time since the war, veterans were noticeably few this year. Although we are losing a lot of the team this year, Gruffy T. is confident that E. J. C. will have a still more successful season in 1950-1951. 19
