GRIZZLY Mascot of El Dorado Junior College To one who has served the El Dorado Junior College faithfully and well, who has inspired the teams to success, and who has fostered the development of school spirit — in short, to Gruffy T. Grizzly — this yearbook is respectfully dedicated, with the deepest appreciation for his years of loyal service. And now, a word from the matchless Gruffy himself: It is with the greatest pleasure that I accept this honor which has been conferred upon me. I am extremely proud to be the mascot of such an outstanding school as El Dorado Juco, and I am very happy to have this opportunity to present the people and organizations that make up the El Dorado Junior College.

Edwards Industrial Arts Robert Douglass Athletics and Woodworking PAUL HAWKINS Superintendent of the El Dorado Public Schools Gruff y Speaks: It is with genuine respect that I pre- sent these two fine administrators, Paul Hawkins, Superinten- dent of El Dorado Public Schools, and Max Bickford, Dean of El Dorado Junior College. Mr. Hawkins has been associated with the El Dorado schools for about twenty years, and he has served capably as superintendent for two years. Dean Bickford (pictured on the next page) has been with Juco since 1946. He needs no introduction to any Jucoite, for all know him as an under- standing and good-natured friend.

I must admit that I was rather shy at fii ' st, con- fesses Gruffy, but yiow I feel right at home with all these teachers. Although the faculty members of the El Dorado Junior College are interested in maintaining a high academic stand- ard, they are also keenly interested in the welfare of the students and try to give all possible individual help and guid- ance to them.

As Gruff y sees it, Here are the kids that were on the ' giving ' end of the freshman initiation. They went through it last year, and (according to the freshmen) did their part very thoroughly this year. The Sophomore Class supervised the freshman initiation and the white-washing of the rocks east of town. Other activities included collab- orating with the faculty to put on the spring banquet and prom, and pre- senting the sophomore assembly. The officers elected this year were: president, Richard Peal ; vice-president, Wesley Pletcher ; and secretary- treasurer, Jean Bell.

Barber, 0 3 el Now here is a group of students that I really want to congratulate says Gruffy. They have proved themselves to be not only outstanding scholars, but also good ' all-round ' representatives of Juco ' s fine fellow- ship. Each year the faculty and the student council choose — by secret ballot — fifteen per cent of the sophomore class to be members of the Order of the Purple. Eligibility is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. The list of qualifications includes a grade point average of at least tw o, enrollment in El Dorado Junior College for at least one full school year, and completion of at least twelve hours of work each semest- er. The members chosen this year were : James Barber, Patricia Kunkle, Jack McDonald, William Moore, Richard Peal, and Carol Seglem. flesh leskpnen ™« . ■ ■ ■■■■- ■ ■■. ,, Left to right: Leonard Morti (president), Nadine Simon (secretary-treasurer), and Douglas Voth (vice-president) .

Here are the babies of Juco. I think the main objective of most oj the freshmen is to become sophomores. They ' re really good kids, though, says Gruffy. This year the Freshman Class white- washed the letters on the hill as part of their initiation. In spite of getting as much white-wash on themselves as on the letters, the freshmen did a good paint job. Also, the class was in charge of an assembly program presente d on March 21. The class officers were : president, Douglass Voth ; vice-presi- dent, Nadine Simon; and secretary-trea- surer, Leonard Morti.

Not pictured: Bob Cabeen and Forrest Si Seheufler, Six The football season of 1951 was one of outstanding success for Juco. Coach Bob Douglass proved once again that he is an extremely capable master of the gridiron, and in doing so was ably assisted by Assistant Coach Jim Edwards. The team finished second in league p ' ay, losing only one game with Hutchinson, by a score of 13-0. The loss of this game gave Garden City the Western Division champ- ionship. Gruffy T. is confident that E. J. C. will have a still more successful season in the fall of 1952, for this year ' s team was made up of many outstanding freshmen who learned much from their experience and will capitalize on it next season.

The lovely Miss Simon was elected by the football squad. The results of the election were not made known, even to Miss Simon (above), until the very moment when she was crowned Football Queen for 1951. The charm of her attendants, Carolyn Jones (below, left) and Betty Bracken (below, right) contributed to the impressiveness of the coronation. Basketball Queen My heart went pitty-pat, says Gruff y, as the queen and her attend- ants, dressed in formats, appeared in the spotlight. They were then escort- ed the length of the basketball court, and Carolyn Jones was crowned Basketball Queen for 1952. Each year the basketball squad elects three girls — the queen and two attendants — to reign over their final home game. This year Queen Caro- lyn Jones (pictured above), attended by Patty Lewis (below, left) and Dorothy Mosier (below, right), was presented with flowers and crowned by Captain Richard Smith. 17 Front row, left to right: Nellie Rost, Marjorie Miller, Joyce Lanier, Lavonne Leach, Rosemary Kennedy.

It warmed my heart to see them standing in the rain, cheering the football team on to victory. The purpose of the Pep Club is to create sportsmanship on the part of the stud- ents and the other fans, and to provide its members and the other students with a few extracurricular activities. Its activities this year included crowning the football and basketball queens, sponsoring a school dance, providing decorations in the hall at Christmas time, and putting on a humorous assembly. Miss Fisher is sponsor of this active group, and the officers this year were : presi- dent, Rosemary Kennedy ; vice-president, Carol Seglem ; secretary-treasurer, Joyce Lan- ier; student council representative, Virginia Unruh; business manager, Dorothy Schmidt. Ulteei i-eadete Gruff y T. and all El Doradoans were proud of this peppy sextette of cheerleaders. Left to right: Nadine Simon, Betty Bracken, and Dorothy Mosier.

The Grizzlies won five games by one-point margins. The Grizzlies finished conference play with a record of six wins and four losses, winning second place in Western Division play. This rank entitled them to play in the Dodge City Regionals at Dodge. They were defeated by Mesa Juco, the Colorado state champion team from Mesa, Colorado, by a score of 58-67. The season ' s record for all games was thirteen wins and seven losses. The Grizzlies scored 1171 points against 1172 for their opponents. Gruffy T. is undoubtedly right when he declares that Coach Dave Weatherby has begun a brilliant college coaching career. Coach Weatherby was a master of strategy and was able to help the team by pointing out weaknesses of the opposing team. He is held in high esteem by team members, students, and faculty ; and all hope that he may have even greater success with next year ' s squad.

Although some of those student referees were unjust (ahem!), the players played like ' pros. ' The intramural athletic program was organized to afford the men of Juco an opportunity at recreation under such supervision as to permit the development of team- work and good sportsmanship. During the year the players played in a round-robin game schedule and in an elimination tournament. They reached a three-way tie for first place testifying to the balance achieved in the assignment of the participants to the four teams. Personnel of the intramural teams were: Team number one: Captains, Gene Marts and Carl Leach. Players: Charles Brown, Carl Leach, Tony De Leon, Jim Liggett, Don Duncan, Joe McAdoo, Bill Johnson, Charles Pochop, Phil Johnson. Team number two: Captains, Jim Huttenhoff and Eldon Thorn- ton. Players: Harold Brenzikofer, Jim Huttenhoff, Paul Dennis, Orval Jackson, Lynn Guthrie, Pat Murray, Ivan Henman, Charles Remmert. Team number three: Captains, Lou Girrens and Savoy Snyder. Players: Jim Barber, John Komer, Jerald Darnold, Richard Mannion, Dave Ferman, Larry Maus, Keith Nixon, Jack Cooper, Bill Green, Clarence Vanfleet. Team number four: Captains, Frank Doll and Frank Highberger. Players: Don Ball, Fred Post, Bob Cabeen, Jack Riley, Warren Henrie, Larry McKown, Don Holli- day, Burt Long.

Three lettermen returning from last year are Bob Cabeen, Frank Stackley, and Wesley Pletcher. These men, as well as Larry McKown, Phil Johnson, Bill Johnson, Len Wilson, Bill Wilson, Harry Blanchard, Larry Davison, Norman Maher, Bill McAdoo, Jack Riley, Ivan Henman, and Eldon Eisenhour, will participate in this year ' s meets. As this book goes to press, the tentative track schedule is as follows : April 1 El Dorado, Hutchinson and Arkansas City at El Dorado April 10 Hutchinson April 16 Independence Apri l 19 K. U. Relays April 25 Hutchinson Night Relays May 3 State Meet at El Dorado The National Junior College Meet at Hutchinson will feature all first- place winners in the State Meet. Last year ' s meets and results are as follows : Third in Hutchinson - Dodge City - El Dorado Triangular. Third in Hutchinson Night Relays. Second place for Medley Relay at K. U. Relays. Fifth in Baker Relays. Third in Quadrangular at El Dorado, with W. U. Freshmen, Hutchinson, and St. Johns. Second in State Meet. As this book goes to press, Gruffy is applauding the choice of Dorothy Mosier as candidate for K. U. Relays Queen. Her picture, with a descrip- tion of her activities and qualifications, will be sent to Lawrence for care- ful consideration by the judges of the contest. 25 = — : T ■I.

According to Gruff y, Here are the guys and gals who helped to make the wheels of Juco go around. They represented the entire student body — which elected them — in dealing with any problems that arose. The Student Council is organized to promote school activities, and to bring closer harmony between the students and the faculty. Aside from their regular duties, this group sponsored two school parties this year, and provided for the opening ceremonies of the basketball games. The officers were: president, Jim Barber; vice president, Jetta Purcell, secretary-trea- surer, Dorothy Schmidt. The other members were : Dick Meyer, Richard Peal, Charles Brown, Bill Moore, Bill McAdoo, Carolyn Jones, Dorothy Mosier, Pat Kunkle, Virginia Unruh, Bill Johnson and Douglas Voth. 27 3HJMBWIW1MWRWW IWWSJKV !■:: ' ■!■!■! ' The cast of Forever Albert : Douglas Voth as Hank Morris, Shirley Marley as Janice Turner, Jera ld Darnold at Keith Bristol, Carol Seglem as Mrs. Ellen Turner, David Jolliffe as Albert Kirby, Marjorie Miller as Marylou Turner, Rosemary Ken- nedy as Mr. Jackson, Peggy Lohse as Annamae Jackson, Bill Moore as Ben Turner, Jean Bell as Lucy Turner, Joe Pat McAdoo as Benny Turner, Nadine Simon as Vivian Wilson, Lawrence Maus as Milton Rudy, and Jim Barber as Henry Lucas. D ama I hated to see the curtain come down on these two successful dramatic ' productions, says Gruffy; The director and the players certainly deserve a lot of credit for presenting these two fine plays. On November 15, 1951, Director L. W. Nixon presented a three-act comedy Forever Albert. The one-act play Dust of the Road was El Dorado ' s entry in the one-act play contest of the state speech festival for junior colleges, held April 4 at El Dorado. The director and cast of Dust of the Road : Bill Moore as The Uncle, Director L. W. Nixon, Carol Seglem as Prudence Steele, David Jolliffe as Peter Steele, and Jerald Darnold as the Tramp. 28 Front row, left to right: Nellie Rost, Nadine Simon, Mary Kay McKinney, Jean Bell, Sponsor L.

Pi Delta llteta I ' m very happy to present this fine group, whose many activities were highlights of the year, says Gruff y. Pi Delta Theta was organized for the production of plays, development of social relations, encouragement of school spirit, and production of appreciation for dramatic work and literature. The activities of this group included presenting the three-act play Forever Albert, sponsoring the Christmas pageant, being hosts to the state speech festival on April 4 and 5, having a formal Christmas dance, initiating new members into Pi Delta Theta, and conducting the initiation of Delta Psi Omega. The officers this year were : president, Jean Bell ; vice president, Carol Seglem; secretary, Frank Highberger; treasurer-business manager, Jer- ald Darnold ; and student council representative, Charles Brown. Mr. L. W. Nixon is sponsor of Pi Delta Theta. At the State Speech Festival, held in El Dorado April 4, Hutchinson presented the one-act play The Pot Boiler, at a combined assembly for high school and junior college students. Actors in the farce are pictured here, with a section of the aud- ience.

Anyway, I surely did enjoy sneaking up- stairs to listen in when the chorus sang, declares Gruffy. The chorus met two evenings a week, Monday and Thursday. The outstanding activity of the chorus this year was participating in an im- pressive Christmas program. The chorus officers were: president, Wesley Pletcher ; vice-president, Dave Ferman ; secretary-treasurer, Judy Lehr; librarian, Bob Burch. 30 Seated: Miss Fisher.

To know what the students do in their classes and outside of school makes Juco more interesting — arid besides, I like to see my name in print. The purpose of the Journalism Club is to create proper public relations between the school and the community. This is accomplished by publishing - a page of school news, Grizzly Growls, each week in the Butler County News. Miss Dorothy Fisher is the sponsor of the club, and also does much of the work. The members of the staff are : Becky Breese, Ted Knust, Jean Bell, Larry Maus, Peggy Lohse, and Ada Gildart (first semester). § cience eu Those scientific terms and complicated processes mide my head whirl, confesses Gruffy. However, I ' m proud of these Juco boys because I feel that they will go far in this world. The goal of the members of the Science Club is to learn more about science through informal discussions and personal hobbies. This year the discussions centered on the metermiser and the recording system. After the meetings, held approximately every two weeks, the boys usually played games, such as pingpong. Mr. S. H. Coffman is sponsor of the club, and his basement furnished a meeting place. The officers elected this year were: president, Jim Barber; vice .president, Richard Peal; secretary-treasurer, Charles Brown; student council representative, Bill Johnson. Other members were: Richard Delaney, Richard Meyers, Bill Moore, Jack T. Mc- Donald, Harold Pochop, Bill Vinson, Dick Tarrant, Don Duncan, Paul Dennis, John Komer, and Leonard Morti.

' This lovely queen is Miss Rosemary Kennedy, a freshman from Atlanta, Kansas. ' ' Miss Kennedy Miss Jetta Purcell, and Miss Patty Lewis were nomi- nated by the student council as candi- dates for yearbook queen. Before the yearbook staff party, the student body elected Miss Kennedy as Queen of the 1952 Grizzly Growl. Kin S My candidate for the yearbook King was Richard Smith; and, tan my fur, he iron! The student council nominated Richard Smith, Richard Mannion, and Wesley Pletcher.
