Watts Mi NV ►■• a The coming of the ' 52 football season found twelve lettermen returning from last year ' s team. Under the experienced direction of Head Coach Bob Douglass, who was capably assisted by his new assistant coach, Bud Cole, the Grizz- lies developed into a hard-driving, high-scoring machine that averaged 24 points per game in seven games played. Although defeated once, by Hutchinson, El Dorado captured the mythical state champion- ship with six victories and one defeat. jroo Wait SCHEDULE Juco 33 o Parsons Sept. 25 Juco 21 7 Garden City Oct. 2 Juco 10 6 Coffeyville Juco 32 7 Arkansas City Juco Joplin (forfeited) Juco 26 7 Independence Oct. 30 Juco 25 14 Dodge City Nov. 8 Juco 21 34 Hutchinson STATISTICS El Dorado rotal offensive yardage (net) 2103 Jet yards rushing average yardage per game ' asses attempted •asses completed fards gained by passes Werage passing yardage per game 84 rimes punted Werage yardage per punt ifards gained by punts fards lost by penalties ' umbles rotal points verage points per game jrootbali m ueen Jewell Mahan Connie Van Landingham Jo Ann Cook • $ (JSasketbali SCORES Dorado 76 5i Independence 65 49 Tonkawa Hutchinson Tournament 55 39 Garden City 47 40 Coffeyville 55 4i Chanute 72 46 Parsons 64 66 Iola 62 60 Hutchinson El Dorado Tournament 70 55 Independence 53 64 Arkansas City 56 43 Pratt 59 50 Arkansas City SCORES 1 Dorado 46 42 Garden City 59 52 Dodge City 47 43 Independence 65 50 Chanute 74 50 Garden City 54 59 Dodge City 70 63 Iola 70 50 Hutchinson n 58 68 Arkansas City n 62 37 Pratt  60 67 Parsons 48 50 Dodge City (Western Division Playoffs) In FRONT: Larry Maus, trainer.

Coach Dave Weatherby The basketball season of 1952- ' 53 will long be remembered as one of the greatest seasons, if not the greatest, in the Grizzlies cage history. Although last year ' s team was certainly a great one, with a 13-7 won-lost record, this year ' s quintet far surpass- ed that record by winning 18 games and losing only six. The Purple and Gold finished in a three-way tie with Ark City and Dodge City for the Western Division Championship, but lost out to Dodge City in the playoffs. This was the final season for Mike Girrens, Dick Smith John Gragg, Len Wilson, and Bill McAdoo, a group better known as the Big Five. As the yearbook goes to press, the Grizzlies travel to Dodge City to compete in the National Regional Tourney. Congratulations go to Coach Dave Weatherby and his team for a fine season. ny nf77T 1 fcRIZZUi .-:, (J ci$hetoall ueen Ann Fetty Mavis Seymour intramural (JSasketoait TEAM TWO, FRONT ROW, LEFT to RIGHT: Fred Post, Lynn Guthrie (Captain), and Lou Girrens.

Jrack Although the turnout for Juco track is not large, the prospects for the coming track season are promising, as several valuable lettermen are returning. More boys are expected to report to Coach Douglass as the season progresses. As the yearbook goes to press, the track schedule is not complete, for several meets will be added to the schedule. 26 The Paul Hawkins Chapter of the Future Teachers of America was organized early in the second semester. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Carl Riggs, this organization has proved beneficial in preparing the prospective teachers for their responsibilities. Most of the members are pictured above. STANDING, from LEFT to RIGHT, are Sponsor Carl Riggs, Mrs. Helen Lazarus, Mrs. June Cooper, Nadine Simon, Joan Vogelman, Beverly Reed, Nettie Parsons, Leslie Winegar, and Perry Henman.

This year the student council has tried to determine policies wisely and to give the students entertainment that would enrich their curricular activities. No previous Juco student council has been more efficient than this one, or has been more successful in expressing the school spirit. The student council has sponsored some of the most successful activities of the year, and the members deserve many thanks for their ceaseless efforts in trying to please every student.

The Junior College Chorus is an elective course that met on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7:00 until 7:45. The chorus was asked to record a number of selections by station KAKE in Wichita, Kansas. The fifteen minute program also featured three soloists: Merna Crum, Bob Hudson, and Russell Griffith. The chorus was accompanied by Betty Davis and directed by the in- structor, Miss Jeanette Barbour. This year as usual the annual Christmas pro- gram was presented joint- ly with the high school. As indicated by the picture, the program consisted of religious tableaux, accom- panied with appropriate music. The music was provided by the high school and college choruses. Martha Poe and Eldon Eisenhower were the readers. Miss Barbour was the musical director and Mr. Nixon directed the tableaus. 2b. rama PI DELTA THETA FRONT ROW: Louise Johnson, Sidney Martin, Betty Davis, Wilma Ittner, Merna Crum, Becky Breese.

I Grizzlies Capture National Juco Tournament The El Dorado Junior College Grizzlies left nothing to be de- sired in the way of a successful basketball season as they won the N. J. C. A. A. Tournament held at Hutchinson, March 24- 28. in the opening game of the tournament, El Dorado staged a last -half rally to edge the Eon Morris Bearcats of Jacksonville, Texas, 54-52. In the second game for both teams, El Dorado downed a highly rated East Central Junior College of De- catur, Mississippi, 64-60. In the semi-final round, the Grizzlies trounced the high-scoring Han- nibal-La Grange Trojans 75-69. The championship game found the Grizzlies meeting their arch- rivals, the Arkansas City Tig- ers. The Tigers were figured to be heavy favorites before the game, but El Dorado paid no attention to the dopesters and went on to crush the Tigers 82-64. In each ' tournament game they played, ' the Grizzlies were the underdog, and with the exception of their first game, the Grizzlies met teams who had scored no less than ninety-nine points in their previous games. Den Wilson and Richard Smith were placed on the All-America squad, while Johnny Gragg and Mike Girrens gained honorable mention. The performance of Dick Rippee, the other starter, was outstanding throughout the tournament. Also performing ike veterans during the tourn- ament were Bill McAdoo, Jerry Wilson, and Ray Reep. One first-stringer, Jack Wichers, was sidelined by injuries. Dan -J ny O ' Brien and Jerry Evenson completed the ten-man squad that attended the tournament. Both the faculty and the student body of E. J. C. are proud of a great team, and of Dave Weatherby, a great coach, Ig ERS -i YEARBOOKS THE PACEMAKERS OF QUALITY MYERS AND CO. INC.
