The success of the past year has been due in large part to the administrators of our school. The administration of the El Dorado Public Schools, by means of wise policies formulated for the best interests of the students, has guided all Juco-ites through the year of 1950-51. These public-minded El Doradoans, giving freely of their time and energy in order to maintain good schools, deserve the sincere thanks of the student body of the El Dorado Junior College. Seated, left to light: Mrs. Ruth Flanagan (clerk), Dr. R. J. Metcalf, Dr. G. E. Kassebaum, and Glenn Tarrant. Standing: George S. Benson, Jr., Virgil Tyler, Walter Gary (president), and Clarence Wilke (vice-president). MAX BICKFORD Dean of the El Dorado Junior ( College jacuii v And gladly wolde he lento and. gladly teche. — Chancer. There are many fancy, three-syllable words that might be used on this page — and what could be more appropriate for the faculty? However, to express the sincere gratitude of the student body, there can be only one word, Thanks. All the dark looks that have been exchanged have been forgotten in the memories of good work and good times shared. Juco-ites will always remember this group of men and women — no1 only as teachers, bu1 also as friends. Gladys Beuchat, Modern Foreign Languages Helen Bradford, English Louise M.

The chief purpose of the Varsity Club is to honor athletes who have lettered in at least one sport at the El Dorado Junior College. Officers this year have been Allen Taylor, president; Bill Butterworth, vice-president; and Gene Dorland, secretary-trea- surer. Coach Bob Douglass is sponsor. This year, the activities of the club have included running concession stands at basketball games, buying materials and building the trophy case in the office, and making the football board now located in the Den. As this book goes to press, tenta- tive plans are being made for a picnic and for a party. At the time of this writing, the following men are prospective lettermen in track: Pat Brazil, Jim Cameron, Wesley Faires and George Gamble. The following members of the Varsity Club are not pictured above : Jack Bowers, Bill Day, Jerry Demo, Kendall Dennis, Wesley Faires, Ray Harvey, Reese Hess, Carl Lemon, Charles LeNormand, Jack McDonald, Calvin McMillan, David Matheny, Harold Parker, Wesley Pletcher, Jerry Reiserer, Richard Rhodes, Merle Snider, Frank Stackley, Bob Wallace, Eddie Williams, and Dick Yarmer. 14 Front row, left to right: Everett Davis, Charles Le Normand, Richard Rhodes, Don Beam, Don Ball.

The football season of 1950 was the most successful Juco has ever enjoyed. The college was represented on the gridiron by a streamlined T offense and a stone-walled defense. Given these ingredients, Coach Bob Douglass, ably assisted by Jim Edwards, rounded the boys into an outstanding ball club. The Grizzly team powered their way through their first seven opponents, scor- ing 256 points to 7 for the opposition. Then, for the first time in almost a decade, the Grizzlies outfought the Hutchinson Blue Dragons 14-6. In the last game of the regular season, the Bears lost a heartbreaking upset to the strong Bronc-Busters of Garden City, 32-7. Ranking near the top in the national Junior College ratings, the Grizzlies re- ceived feeler bids to play in the Juco Rose Bowl at Pasadena, California, the Juco Sugar Bowl at Monroe, Louisiana, the Texas Rose Bowl at Tyler, Texas, and several minor bowls. Finally accepting a bid to meet the powerful Red Ravens of Coffeyville annual Coffee Bowl classic, El Dorado emerged victorious by a score of 12-0. At season ' s end, Coach Douglass presented 27 men with letter awards. m 15 . PSSlite ' STATISTICS E.J.C.

Reigning with charm and grace, Miss Connie Godfrey presided over the homecoming game, which ended a most successful season of football. Elected by the football squad, Connie and her two attend- ants, Betty Bracken (left) and Patty Lewis (right), reflect that true spirit of loyalty and friend- ship represented in El Dorado Juco. Later, the same three girls were chosen in the same order by the basketball squad in an election to select a basketball queen.

As in past years, the Junior College was again represented on the maple-woods by a tall, hard-fighting quintet. Sporting a season ' s record of 10 wins and 12 losses, the Grizzlies several times surprised the experts and the opposition by upsetting the dope and emerging victorious over teams ranking high in the conference standing. In- cluded among the Grizzly wins were a 35-33 win over Hutchinson and a 55-49 triumph over the Eastern Conference winner, Independence. Completing their regular season in a tie for fourth in the conference, the Bears again entered the annnual A.A.U. meet at Wichita. Playing against the best Kansas has to offer, the Juco team defeated the Newton Miller Produce and the Goddard Athletic Club before losing to the McPherson Legion, the eventual champion. For their attitude in this tournament, the Grizzlies were presented with the team sportsmanship trophy. Reese Hess, captain, and Harold Parker were also given Honorable Mention on the All A.A.U. team. Hess and Jack Bowers were given additional honors by being named on the All-Conference second team. While the season ' s record was not a winning one, Coach Bill Hill and the Juco players deserve a great deal of credit for giving the college an aggregation of which it can be proud. 21 ;v •«..

At the first signs of spring, the men of Juco donned their track warm-ups and started limbering up and getting in shape for their first meet at Hutchinson. With several returning lettermen from last year ' s team, which was runner-up in the state meet, and with the able coaching of Bob Douglass, the 1951 team has high hopes for a good season. The tracksters of E. J. C. are firing for the state champion- ship this year, and all Juco fans hope they make it. Among the lettermen who are returning, are such men as Bill Butterworth, who was last year ' s winner of the state junior college 220 low hurdles and who tied for first in high jump; Kendall Dennis, who won second in the 440-yard dash and fourth in the 880-yard run at the state meet; Bob Harsh, winner of fourth place in the 440-yard dash in the state meet; and Arnold Weber, fourth in javelin throw in the state meet. Other returning lettermen who are expected to better their own records this year are: Gene Dorland, discus throw and 880-yard relay; Tharon Baumann, 440-yard dash :.nd mile relay; Bill Day, discus throw; Bill Hollis, 880-yard run and medley relay; and Jerry Demo, 440-yard dash and medley relay. In addition to the lettermen, some of the first-year men should go great guns: Bob Cabeen, 100 and 200-yard dashes and 880-yard relay; Wesley Faires, 880-yard run; Jim Cameron, mile run; Louis Alfaro, 880-yard run; George Gamble, high jump and broad jump; Ray Romanzi, mile run and pole vault; Wesley Pleteher, pole vault and high jump; Frank Stackley, discus throw, shot put, and javelin throw; John Komer, mile run; and Allen Taylor, shot put and discus throw. 2f - It .w Hutchinson Quadrangular Meet El Dorado Quadrangular Meet K.

El Dorado Junior College has had an outstanding debate squad, this year of ' 50- 51. Members of the Phi Rho Pi society, the debaters have participated in seven tour- naments, finishing in the upper brackets each time. By taking part in the various tournaments and by conducting the Speech Festival in April, the debaters have further- ed the objective of Phi Rho Pi : to encourage and aid all speech and forensic activities. Tournaments attended were: Hutchinson Juco Invitational Tournament; Pitts- burg State Teachers College Invitational Tournament; McPherson College Economy Tournament; Southwestern College Invitational Tournament, Emporia; St. John ' s Tournament, Winfield ; Phi Rho Pi Regional, Winfield ; Kansas Junior College Speech Festival, El Dorado. In the last named tournament, El Dorado debate teams won the first three places. At the time of this writing, word has just been received that at the Phi Rho Pi Nationals at Houston, Texas, Matheny and Demo placed first in Debate, and McMillan and Barber placed second. In individual events, Matheny won first in two events, Impromptu Speaking and After-Dinner Speaking; McMillan won first in Decla- mation; and Demo won second in Extemporaneous Speaking. Total points gave the El Dorado group second in the sweepstakes. The picture below was taken at the dinner honoring entrants in the third annual State Junior College Speech Festival, held at El Dorado on April 6 and 7, with these schools represented : Hutchinson, Pratt, Arkansas City, Iola, Coffeyville, and El Dorado.

Student nurses at the Susan B. Allen Memorial Hospital must be high school graduates, preferably of better-than-average scholastic standing. First in the three- year course comes the six-months pre-clinical period, during which time the students receive training at the local hospital and study the following courses at the El Dorado Junior College: anatomy, physiology, psychology, nutrition and cookery, and sociology. At the close of this pre-clinical period, the students receive their caps. During the remainder of the nursing course, besides continuing training at the home hospital, the prospective nurses go to the Children ' s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, for a three-months course in pediatrics, and to the St. Louis City Hospital for a three months course in psychiatry. Leadership for the 1950-51 Student Nurses ' Organization was furnished by Jean Reese, president; Delores Clark, secretary-treasurer; Joyce Biddleman, student-repre- sentative; and Miss Flemming, class sponsor. Special activities during the year have been the February Capping Ceremony, the annual party sponsored by the Graduate Nurses Club, a Christmas caroling party, and skating parties at the local rink.
