This class can give a testimony as lasting and genuine as a thumbprintvon the pages of Time in answer to the question How have you played the game? On the various athletic teams, we had members who always gave sportsman-like participation whether they won or lost. This class contributed nearly one-half of the main squad which afforded many interesting foot- ball games throughout the season. The splen- did basketball squad and the track team were well supported by sophomores, who with outstanding skill did much to bring honor in these athletic events. Scholastic honors were not overlooked by our class members many of whom habit- ually won places on the honor roll. Of the twenty-six members of the Phi Theta Kappa, seventeen were sophomores. The various de- partments have helped to make the various complete. The Dramatics club presented the play of the year while the forensic squad was made up almost entirely from our class. During our junior college career we have helped to support the music organizations, the Pep club, and all the other school act- ivities. Altogether this sophomore class of 1940 leaves this institution with the knowledge that it has played the game well. Someone has said that character is higher than in- tellect, but here we have been striving for a blending of the two. Here we have learned to realize the worth of Carl Schurz's words when he saysg Ideals are like the stars.. . We never reach them but like the mariners on the sea, we chart our course by them.

Has the past year been a success or a fail- ure? Has any progress been made toward achieving a definite goal? How much has really been accomplished? Is anything par- ticularly outstanding about the passing year? The underclassmen of this year have much to reflect back over and be proud of. In September 1939 a larger than usual num- ber of students classed themselves as fresh- men and began to help toward making '39- '40 a uccessful school year. They helped to- ward this by comprising the bulk of volunteers for all activitiies. In football, basketball, and track the underclassmen were outstanding. In Phi Theta Kappa, Pep club, Y. M. and Y. W., and student council the influence of the freshman class was prev- elant. They have set a high standard for future classes to measure up to. The freshmen in a junior college have an advantage in that they have the opportunity to lead and to take part in school activities. They do not become lost in the numerous ac- tivities which are dominated by the upper classmen in a senior college. This class has apppreciated the many opportunities it has had. What these students will do concerning their future education can not be forseen but the records of the past year show that they have taken their first great step toward a higher education. They possess that eager spirit and indefatigable desire to learn and if they carry this out into the world with them nothing, however great or small, can hold them back. Sucessful year, freshman class! Keep up the good work! FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Peterson, Boulanger, Clayton, Scranton, Elliott. Page 25 WAUNITA ADAMS HELEN ALDRIDGE MARGARET G.

During the present year the council has been unusually active. The most import- ant activity has been the sponsorship of school parties. A new feature of student government introduced during the current school year was the cooperation existing between the college and high school councils. This work- ing together has made possible a greater attendance of high school students at the parties and has resulted in greater coopera- tion between the college and high school students in social activities. The Collegian room, established three years ago as a center of study and mental relaxa- tion, was renovated. All broken furniture was removed and a radio and additional new furniture were added. Early in the fall the council aided in the selection of the Inkanquil staff. In the spring an all college banquet and dance was sponsored. The council meets each Tuesday during the counsellor period and special meetings have been called at various times. A repre- sentative from the administration cooperates with the council in an advisory capacity. The cooperation of the student body and faculty was splendid and the council wishes to ex- press its appreciation for this fine attitude. The council is composed of Byron Caskey, president, Dean Konz, vice-presidentg Doris Horton, secretary, Stanley White, sergeant- at-armsg C. A. Gilmore, Lawrence Mason, sophomore commissionersg Van Peterson, Fred Wilkin, freshman commissioners. STUDENT COUNCIL Top row: Caskey, Konz, Horton, White, Gilmore. Lower row: Mason, Peterson, Wilkin. Page 35 We Smoked It to 'em in Uur Plag No college is Complete without its many sided activities. Sock and Buslzin, the dram- atics organization, presents the school plays which are events that rank along with the big games in interest. The Sock and Buskin was first organized in 1928, and it has continued up to the pres- ent time. Since the purpose of the organiza- tion is to further the interest in drama, its only requirements for membership is an in- terest in dramatics. On February 8 and 9 Sock and Buskin pre- sented its annual long play to an apprecia- tive audience. This year's production was Tish , one of Mary Roberts Rineharts most widely heralded stories. The play centers around the hilarious adventures of Tish , a middle aged, blunt spoken spinster, Who thought she could do anything that a mere man could do-and do it twice as Well. In addition to Tish the college drama- tists have presented short plays. The club has also furnished actors and technicians for the hi-gh school plays.

The purpose of the Zeta Literary Society is to stimulate an interest in creative Writing and to encourage the reading of good liter- ature. At the first meeting in October, fifteen pledges were initiated into the society. After the traditional signing of the scroll, which is the high point in the initiation service, Mr. M. H. Hanawalt addresed the organiz- ation, having as his subject, The Stimulus of Beauty . - The regular meetings of the year consisted of the presentation of original papers, re- ports and reviews on subjects relative to the theme, The Development of American Drama . Besides introductory sketches of American Dramatic beginnings, studies were made of the works of Maxwell Anderson, William Vaughan Moody, and of Eugene O'Niellg Modern stage effects were explain- ed, the technique of several prominent con- temporary actors was discussed, and many important plays were reviewed. .The year's activities were successfully cli- maxed with the annual banquet, held in Ap- ril at the Booth Hotel. The theme for this banquet was World Literature . It was em- phasized throughout the evening in the dec- orations and in the program. At the close of the banquet each member was given a copy of his favorite book. The Zeta Literary Society, under the able direction of the officers: Elizabeth Meus- chke, president: Arthur Pryor, vice-pres- identg Byron Caskey, secretaryg and Marjorie Anderson, treasurer, experienced another successful year.

Page 38 Uur Bridges Will Be Better Than llur I-llihis To further our knowledge of engineering of to-day . With this purpose in mind the Engineering club of I.J.C. launched a very successful year when classes convened last September. Officers for the year were president, Fred Wallingford, vice-president, Bob Banks, sec- retary, Howard Overton, treasurer, Robert Farwellg program chairman, Bill Farbro. The highlight of the winter was the an- nual homecoming dance, held in honor of the past members of the Engineering club, dur- ing the Christmas vacation. In the spring the Hay Hickey was held, and as usual was a great success. Also during the school year various speak- ers appeared before the club and discussed their phase of Engineering and gave the club information on many interesting topics. The annual spring trip of three days was made to K.U. and Manhattan. Other trips during the year included Grand River Dam, the Oil Show at Tulsa, and short trips to lo- cal industries.

The forensic team opened its season with a trip to the speech conference at Kansas City, Missouri, and completed the year's act- ivity at the state tournament at El Dorado, Kansas. In the course of the many trips it made, its members participated in debate, progression, after-dinner speaking, extem- pore speaking, impromptu speaking, and in- terpretative reading. Independence was represented in forensics they lost ten. FORENSICS meets at Kansas City, Missouri, Arkansas City, Pittsburg, Independence, Hutchinson, Fort Scott, Winfield, and El Dorado. Par- ticipation in these events involved traveling a distance of more than two thousand miles.

These events were conducted for the purpose of getting college girls in- terested in Y.W. Soon after this the regular bi-monthly meetings were started. The pro- grams have consisted of reports on some out- standing women of the past and present. Outside speakers included Mrs. Warren Grant, Mrs. Bert Stevens, Miss Mary Humph- reys, and Rev. R. O. Penick. In October twenty girls attended the state Y.W.C.A. conference at Coffeyville, which is always one of the highlights of the year. The theme of this conference was Amer- icanism and proved a source of inspiration to all who attended the conference. At Thanksgiving and Christmas time the Y.W. presented gifts of food and clothing to some needy families of the community. These gifts were donated by members of the club, and the Y.M.C.A. also contributed in making this event successful. As for the social activities of the club, there have been several picnics and parties with the cooperation of the Y. M. A Weiner roast and a Valentine party were among these events. Monthly cabinet meetings were held in the city Y.W.C.A. rooms to take care of all bus- iness matters. A worthwhile ideal has been set up for the club---that of sending some girls to Estes Park this summer. For this purpose, the Y.W. has sponsored several candy sales and a cookie sale during the winter. This year has been a successful one for the Y. W., and the membership was larger. Y. W. C. A.

Uur Sweetheart Banquet Was Par Excellence The Y.M.C.A. has had a large part in the college education of many young men this past school year. The activities have been directed toward the development of Christ- ian ideals of character and in physical and social development. The annual Watermelon feed at the begin- ning of the school year served to acquaint the new student group, Throughout the first semester mixers were held in the gymnasium where many pleasant hours were spent in wholesome sport. The annual ping-pong tournaments were continued with much en- thusiasm. The meetings, throughout the year, presented leaders in education busi- ness, medicine and religion, whose lectures and comments will long be remembered by those present. The second semester presented many var- ied activities. A joint Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A. Valentine party Was enjoyed by members of the two organizations. A pleasant innovation this year was the Slumgullion banquet of the college men and men of the college facul- ty. During the spring season a softball team was organized. Climaxing the school year was the annual 'Sweetheart banquet and dance on the theme Romance Through the Ages . At this the girl friends of the mem-- bers were guests of the organization.

Page 43 Wisdom, I-lspiraiin11,a11d Puriig Persuniiied Independence Junior College has the hon- or of having the only chapter of Phi Theta Kappa in Kansas. This chapter is called Beta Omega and was organized in 1933. The pur- pose of this organization is three-fold: to promote scholarship, develop character, and cultivate friendship among the students. To be eligible for membership in this or- ganization one must fulfill rigid require- ments pertaining to scholarship and charac- ter. There were eight members returning from last year. After the first semester, eighteen members including nine sophomores and nine freshmen were elected into the chapter by the faculty committee. Officers for the past year were: Lynnell Hughes, president, Fred Wallingford, vice- president, Retha Spradlin, secretaryg Mar- garet Helman, treasurer, and John Neeland, historian. A banquet, sponsored by the Alumni mem- bers, is an annual event and is attended by both the Alumni and active members. The Phi Theta Kappa National Convention was held this year at Lawton, Oklahoma, March 21, 22, and 23. Our chapter was rep- resented by Van Peterson as official delegate and our sponsor, Mr. Pearson. Three other members also attended the convention this year. We have tried to promote good fellowship among our members by holding evening meet- ings once a month in which both Alumni and active members participate.

Page 44 We Extend le You Uur Peppiest Greetings The words You've more pep than any Pep club we've had before spoken by assistant dean F. C. Myers were certainly welcome words to the twenty-five members of this year's Pep club. The purpose of the Pep club is to support all school activities especially the sports, football and basketball. To instill pep in the student body numerous pep assem- blies have been held throughout the year. In the pep assembly before the Coffeyville game Virginia Reno was crowned football queen. To climax the football season the Pep club gave a banquet at the Booth Hotel for the football team. The program and favors car- ried out the theme of the Pirate Ship. This year for the first time a basketball queen was crowned. The queen was Mary Helen Scranton. To honor the basketball team a spring banquet was held for them. The club officers are president, Kittie Marie Woodman, secretary-treasurer, Mar- garet Helman. The cheerleaders are Helen Miller, Kittie Woodman, Van Peterson, and Richard Davis. Much of the credit for the club's success should go to Kittie Woodman for her fine leadership and to Pearl Russell who has Worked so untiringly as sponsor of the club.

Page 45 We Give You Um' Journalistic Triumph In order to publish a successful annual it is necessary to have a number of essential things--a cooperating staff with a willing-to- work spirit, qualified advisers, and a re- ceptive faculty and student body who are Willing to overlook our minor mistakes. In selecting the staff for the 1940 Inkan- quil, two members, the editor, Bob Jones, and the business manager, Bill Sanders, were chosen by the Student Council. These two appointed the other staff members: Marion Smith and Sue Wagner, assistant editors, Carl Holden, assistant business manager, C. A. Gilmore, sports editor, who was chosen after the first one selected found it neces- sary to leave school, Lloyd Stephenson, ko- dak editorg Juanita Rodgers, joke editorg Bob Blevins, art editor, and, for the first time in the history of the Inkanquil a print- ing editor was included in the staff, George Mann serving in that capacity, To many persons an adviser is consider- ed a mere formality, but in reality this is not the case. The success of the annual depends upon the efficiency of the staff advisers. Much credit is due Mr. Myers and Mr. Rep- pert for their timely suggestions toward a better Inkanquil for 1940. Mr. Myers worked in cooperation with the editor and Mr. Rep- pert worked in cooperation with the printing editor. From the first, the staff of the 1940 Ink- anquil has worked hard in an effort to pre- sent the I.J.C. students a worthy annual. We have tried to include everyone in the annual so as to make it truly representative of our entire school and not of just a few. If you will but accept this issue of the Inkanquil we shall feel satisfied, INKANQUIL STAFF Top row: Jones, Smith, Wagner, Sanders, Holden, Myers.

With six lettermen and a squad of thirty-five to work with, Coach Stocke- brand was expected to turn out a prospective championship team. This might have been a reality had it not been for the innumerable injuries that beset the squad. However, even though these injuries took their toll on some valuable players, the Pirates were a thorn in the side of all opponents and were a ser- ious threat in every game. The initial league game was with Arkansas City on the home gridiron. Again the Pirates outplayed their opponents only to have ex- cessive penalties prevent several scores and they ended up on the short end of a 7-0 score. Parsons Cardinals were the second league opponent for the locals. The goal line was still shut off for the Pirates and, although they bested Parsons considerably all around, the game ended in a 0-0 deadlock. The Greyhounds of Fort Scott furnished the next bit of competition for the Pirates when they journeyed to the foreign field for their third league encounter. Despite the fact that they outgained the fleet Greyhounds and were stopped twice within the 5 yard line, they could not score and lost 13-0. The Corsairs journeyed out to Hutchinson for their next game. Here they rushed across a counter in the first period for their first touchdown of the season. They held the Blue Dragons until the last five minutes when the results of the long trip took effect on the players and they were defeated 7-6. In the next game with Chanute, the local team was again defeated in the last half. This time by the count of 13-6. The superior reserve power of the Panthers and their all- state fullback, Larsen, were instrumental in the Pirate defeat. The Iola Mustangs were the next to face the revengeful Pirates. This game highlight- ed the Juco schedule. The underdog Indep- endence team hit its stride and smothered the Mustangs under a barrage of scores to win 24-6. Heads up ball on the Pirates part contributed much to the victory. The final game cf the season was with the traditional Thanksgiving opponent, the Cof- feyville Ravens. The Pirates scored in the third quarter but the Ravens came out ahead 13-6 due to two pass interceptions at crucial moments in the game. The outstanding center of the team, Bob Githens, was elected honorary captain by the squad. He was also selected as center on the all-state team. Tom Robinson received Honorable mention on the same team. Joe Qaker, diminutive guard, was chosen the most valuable member of the team.

Page 48 Basketball Historg In the basketball season of 1939-40, both big name teams and excellent material for the Juco team were attracted to Indepen- dence by the new gymnasium, considered by some the best in the state. Of the former were the Phillips 66 of Bartlesville, the re- cent national A.A.U. champions and runner- up the two previous years, and the College of Commerce, champions of the Naismith league in Kansas City. In this game Indepen- dence fans were 'treated to a brand of bas- ketball that equaled the excellence of the gym, seeing such National All-Stars as Joe Fortenberry, Grady Lewis, Don Lockard, and Bill Martin in action. Phillips were victors by the count of 38 to 25. Other big name teams opposed the Pirates. After holding them 21-18 the first half, the Jucos lost a game 49-25 to the Pittsburg Gorillas, co-champs of the Central Kansas Conference. They were also defeated by Tul- sa University 61-40. At the start of the 1939-40 season, the high hopes for a successful team seemed justifi- able to the fans of the Juco Pirates. Coach Stockebrand had a nucleus of six lettermcn around which to build his team. These were Hall, Webb, Ferrell, Parkins, Keefe, and C011- don. In addition to these, there were numer- ous, valuable new comers to the squad. Going into the regular schedule, the Jucos administered defeats to Chanute, Parsons, and Fort Scott by decisive scores, before losing by a one point margin to Iola, the Eastern Division champs. This defeat was followed closely by two point losses to Cof- feyville and Joplin. In the next few games, the locals went on a winning spree, but it was cut short by a 46-42 defeat at the hands of the Mustangs from Iola. However, the Pirates went on to win the remaining games on their schedule. At the end of the regular season, Stocke- brand's team entered the Juco tournament at Chanute. Here they won fourth place, de- feating Coffeyville, but losing to Chanute and Arkansas City. Eleven men were awarded letters by Coach Stockebrand. These were McHenry, Tindle. Condon, Keefe, Ferrell, Duffey, Murray, Webb, Hall, McCabe, and Lockwood. Bob McHenry, stellar forward, and Dug Duffey, regular guard, were selected on the first and second league teams respectively, while Babe Ferrell and Jack Tindle were given honorable mention. McHenry was also selected the most valuable member of the squad by his teammates, and Ferrell was elected honorary captain. BASKET BALL TEAM Top row: Webb, McCabe, Keefe, Ferrell, Zinn.

Page 49 Track Histnrg Of last year's team which placed fourth in the state meet, this seasonls edition of the Pirates had nine returning veterans. These were McKain, Wininger, Faler, Baker, Gil- more, Keefe, Stephens, McKinney, and Thom- as. The major part of the squad was made up of freshmen, who defeated the more ex- perienced members in the interclass meet by a score of 77 to 66. The first meet of the season was with the Coffeyville Red Ravens, in which the Pirates were defeated by the strongest team in their opponent's history by the count of 77 to 49. Stephens and McCabe were the outstanding scorers for Independence. The Corsairs were overpowered by last year's state Champs from Fort Scott in the next meet to the tune of 89 to 34. The Gray- hounds Won 12 first places in this meet, Fal- er and Duffey being the only Independence winners. Despite the fact that they won no first places at the Fredonia relays, the Pirates finished third behind El Dorado and Coffey- ville. The points were 58, 24 1-2, and 17 respectively. Overwhelming their opponents, Chanute and Parsons, in the next meet at home, the Pirates Won their first victory of the sea- son. They amassed a total of 100 1-2 points while Parsons countered 39 1-2 to Chanute's 8. McCabe, by placing in five events Won high scoring honors with 15 points. They continued their Winning streak in the next meet which was a triangular with Joplin and Miami at Joplin. The scores were 65- 43-14 respectively. McCabe won 12 of the Pirates' total. At the Baker relays the locals placed fourth with a total of 16 points. Fort Scott won the meet, with El Dorado and Haskell finishing ahead of the Pirates. Faler defeated a strong field in the pole vault and McCabe placed in four events. In addition to these meets, a dual with Coffeyville and the state were held.

Page 50 Gulf Historg Although there were no returning letter- men on the golf team from last year, the Pirates were well represented on the links. The team was composed of Wortman and McHenry, graduated from the high school team, Heatherington, Wallingford, and West- fall. This group had the Rajah golf course available both for practice and for home matches. The first game of the year was on the home links with the Coffeyville Ravens. Although the contest ended in a 10-10 deadlock, the Pirates won the moral victory by having Wortman as individual medalist. The fol- lowing week a three-man team, composed of Wortman, McHenry, and Heatherington, journeyed to Fort Scott and were victorious by the score of 8 1-2 to 3 1-2. Wortman was again medalist with 82, and McHenry the runnerup with an 83. Although Wortman continued his fast pace and shot a 69 for individual honors, the Cha- nute team came out victorious 8 1-2 to 7 1-2. The Pirates were again defeated in their next match when they traveled to Joplin by the score of 4 to 5. McHenry was the only local player to win his match. The Parsons Cardinals defeated the five- man Pirate team 9 1-2 to 6 1-2 despite the fact that both Wortman and McHenry won their matches, In addition to these two others were scheduled besides the state meet. Of this year's team only two, Heathering- ton and Wallingford, will be lost by gradua- tion. The other three, Wortman, McHenry, and Westfall, will oe a nucleus around which to build next year's squad. GOLF TEAM Left to right: Wortman, McHenry, Wallingford, Westfall, Heatherington. Page 51 Tennis Histnrg With the return of two lettermen, Caskey and Drackert, and the addition of several other good prospects, the hopes for a suc- cessful tennis season was justifiable. This hope was fulfilled during the year. The team which consisted of Darby, Caskey, Drackert, Monson, Condon, and Jones had the excel- lent playing facilities. offered at Riverside Park on which to condition themselves and the members won their share of the matches. The first meet of the season was with the Red Ravens of Coffeyville. Byron Caskey was the only Pirate to win and Independence was defeated 8 to 1. The team hit its stride the next meet with the Fort Scott Greyhounds, In this Darby and Drackert won their singles matches and the doubles teams composed of Darby and Caskey and Drackert and Monson won both of their matches. The score was 6 to 2. They continued their winning against Chanute in the next net encounter of the season. In this one Darby, Drackert and Caskey won their singles and the doubles team of Caskey and Darby were victorious to defeat the Chanute netsters 6 to 2. A four man team journeyed to Joplin for the next meet. Here the players met their stiffest competition of the season. All the members of the team were defeated in straight sets with the exception of Monson' who extended his opponent to three sets. Against the Parsons Cardinals in the next meet the Pirates avenged the Joplin defeat by winning 8 to 1. All the singles matches with the exception of one were won and all three of the doubles. Three other matches besides the state meet were on this year's schedule and the Pirates stood an excellent chance to win them at the time of publication. Of this years team only two will be eligi- ble for another year of competition. These are Darby and Monson. With these two around with which to build the team the prospects for a successful season for next year are bright. TENNIS TEAM Left to right: Caskey, Darby, Jones, Monson, Condon, Drackert.

Finally the boy said quietly: Well, it must be mighty lonesome up there with only God and George Washington.
