C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE EDITORIAL We are nearing the close of another school year. In man respects it has been a very successful year, in fact, the most successful in the brief history of our institution. For the first part the study body has been com- posed of a group of fine spirited, industrious young peo- ple. The class-work has been commendable; cooperation between students and faculty very desirable. Our inter-collegiate relationship with other Junior Colleges of the state has been very satisfactory, to say the least. Of the six activities which the State Junior College Association sporsors, we have been successful in carrying off highest honors in five of fhem. But the most outstanding benefit which our students have derived from these inter-collegiate contests has been the splendid sportsmanship-like manner in which our competitors have conducted themselves. Coming int o personal contact with such splendid young men and women has been a liberal education within itself. A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE SUNRISE IN KANSAS The only light visible was a faint grey color on the eastern horizon and a few scattered stars in the sky. The air was exceptionally cool and refreshing, and not a sound could be heard, save the rustle of the leaves as the south morn- ing breeze moved lazily through the grove of trees near our camp. The grey in the east increased rapidly, took on a pinkish hue, and soon long streams of light shot far into the sky. They touch- ed snowy-white clouds here and there, making them silvery on one side. By now, the entire universe was awake, the stars had disappeared, and all waa light. The loose tents began flapping and the trees swaying as the breeze in- creased, and soon the cheery birds emerged from their nests to start their daily work of food-searching and nest- tuilding. Suddenly the top of the fiery sun appeared; within a few moments it was fully in view, and long shadows fell from the trees and buildings of the camp. SPANISH CLUB ACTIVITIES El Circlo Espanol, the Spanish club of the Junior College, has added greatly to the interest of the Spanish courses. At the meetings which were held twice a month, Spanish programs were present- ed which included Sipanish games and plays. The big event of the first semes- ter was the Spanish banquet, the fourth of January, at which all members were present. The menu and table decora- tions were carried out according to Spanish style. Two joint meetings with the French club featured the second semester en- tertainments, one, a picnic, followed by a line party to the Burford, the other a d ' nner, served in the club room. Officers of the first semester were: Alberta Beahm, president; Mae Marsh, secretary and treasurer. Second semes- ter: Earl Young, president; Levia Slater, secretary and treasurer. From the base ot a low ridge, made ugly with dwarfed and snarled remnants of vegetation, a broad beach, sloped to the water ' s ragged edge. During the night the tide had swept the shore clean and smooth, but now the wind had riip- pled it with long miniature sand dunes. Out beyond the beach and the fringe of rolling and tumbling breakers, the sun reflected a freakish variety of greens, and blues from the ocean ' s rugged sur- face, while in the distance, far beyond the first whitecaps, a ship was silhouet- ted on the horizon, leaving behind a long streamer of smoke to streak the azure sky.

JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE ARKANSAS CITY COLLEGE DEBATES. The debate season was just another of A. C. J. C. ' s several successes. The question for debate this year was Re- solved: That the United States Should Adopt Mitchell ' s Plan for a Single De- partment of National Defense with Three Equal Branches of Army, Navy, and Air. The teams were selected early in Feb- ruary and they began intensive work then, with Mr. Gallee as coach. The first debate was a dual debate with Independ- ence, and George Stanley and Samuel Shoup, the affirmative team went to In- dependence. Robert Par man and Ruth Redden upheld the negative side of the question at home. Both teams were suc- cessful in this debate, George and Sam- uel winning a two to one decision at In- dependence, and the negative team win- ning the decision of the one critic judge at home. This victory entitled the teams to com- pete in a triangular debate for State Championship with the winners of the two other dual debates, between Kansas City and Fort Scott, and Parson and Iola. In these debates, Kansas City for- feited to Fort Scott, and Parsons won from Iola. The Championship debate was held April 13. The Arkansas City negative team, Robert Parman and Ruth Redden, went to Parsons, Parson ' s negative team went to Fort Scott, and Fort Scott ' s neg- ative team debated here with our af- firmative team, George Stanley and Sam- uel Shoup. The negative team won a two to one decision, but the affirmative team was unfortunate in not being able to get one more judge. However, their very high grades and the winning of their first debate made it possible for A. C. J. C. to win one more State Championship. At the first of the season, Leroy Plum- ley tried out and made the team, but he was taken with appendicitis and was unable to complete the work. George Stanley volunteered to take his place and carried on to the end of the sea- son. DEBATERS ENTERTAINED The championship debaters of the col- lege were entertained at the home of the r a b, K. R. Kalle. Thursday evening, April 29, with a fine dinner. Accord- ing to Mr. Galle this was the final event of the successful season, and the debat- e n heartily agreed. Those present were Ruth Redden, George Stanley, Robert Parman, Samuel Shoup, Leroy Plumley, and Mr. and Mrs. Callee. - ' A CHANGE OF LIPSTICK- NOW AND THEN IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OE MEN Girls, change your often.

A. has advanced rapidly during the second cemester. Through the efforts of Ruth Redden and her program committee a program or outing of some sort has been held every week. Early in January the Y. W. C. A. girls entertained all the College girls with a covered-dish dinner in the Junior High School Cafeteria. Mildred Glasscock, of the membership committee, invited every girl to join the Y. W. C. A. The members voted to apply for a charter from the National organization. In the cabinet meeting following the dinner a constitu- tion was drawn up and the charter ap- plied for. Next year, after a student sec- cretary of the National Society visits our Y. W. C. A., our charter will be consid- ered. We feel that belonging to the National organization will strengthen our chapter. A Kid Party was the special meet- ing in February. Each girl brought a child between the ages of four and eight. Games were played and an amusing pro- gram was given by the little guests. The girls felt they were being entertained rather than entertaining the kiddies. An early morning breakfast was given at the Jarvis farm the first week of March. Only a few girls seemed able to get up ,so early, but in spite of the small crowd and the rainy weather, the early morning outing was greatly enjoyed. About the middle of March the High School Y. W. C. A. had their annual Fire- side Festival. The college girls were invited as guests. A lovely program of imusic and reading was given, followed ■by a general sing-song. On April 12, the mothers were guests at the annual Mother-Daughter banquet. A lovely dinner was served in the Meth- odist church dining room. The symbol of the evening ' s program was the rose. Red roses decorated the tables and were given as favors to the mothers. During April and May two sandwich sales were arranged by the finance com- mittee to help pay expenses. One was given to pay for the polychrome plaque which the college girls gave to the Club May 13, the senior girls of the high school were entertained at a breakfast given in the Junior High School Cafe- teria. Special invitations were given to all girls who intend to go to Junior Col- lege next fall to join the Y. W. C. A. The new officers took office at this time. They are: Mildred Glasscock, president; Mae Marsh, vice-president; Rhoda Talley, Secretary; De Lone Livingston, treas- urer. 4,,, „„ „„ „„ „„ „„ „„ ,,„ „„ „„. all „ , „„ Graduation Gifts For Gifts that will Appeal To Boys and Girls We Can Supply Your Every Need J.

JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE PIGS— A PAIR By ROBERT McMICHAEL Billy Evans was lonely, more lonely than he had ever been before in all his eight eventful years. He stood staring out at the March snow, wishing rebel- liously that he did not have to stay in- side. From the kitchen came the rat- tle of dishes as his mother busily clear- ed the breakfast table. The sound of Iher cheerful humming brought a lump to his throat and tears, that obscured the flying snow, to his eyes. Folding his arms on the window sill, and pillowing his touseled brown head upon them, he kicked resentfully at the rounds of his chair. Wisht I had something to play with, he murmured. Mother is too busy an ' I ' m tired of playing with picture books an ' blocks an ' .... An ' why can ' t I play in the snow? Just ' cause I got a little ol ' cold He slid down from the chair, looked longingly out the window again, then marched determinedly across the din- ing room to the kitchen door. There a sort of uncertainty replaced the deter- mination, and he hesitated, until his mother saw him leaning against the cas- ing in doutt and perplexity. Now, Billy, you know I told you that you couldn ' t go out in that snow. It ' s too cold and you ' re already nearly sick. Now, run . . . . But, Mother, I ' d be careful. Can ' t I go out, Mother. Honest, I ' d come . . . . No, you cannot ! Stop bothering me now — I ' m busy. Aw, I wanta go . . . . The wail was interrupted by a sudden stamping on the porch. The harassed mother eagerly seized upon the promis- ed distraction. There ' s Daddy! Open the door for him, Billy. But before the child reach- ed the door, it opened to admit a tail, woman, his red face dark and grim with vexation. Another runt in the litter, he growl- ed. Other one ' s dead an ' this ' n will be. I ain ' t got time to feed him with a sipoon. But, perhaps, if you ' d only try , , I tell you, I ain ' t got time to run no nursery for pigs. I ' ve gotta tend to them that have a chance to live. Billy left off his petting the chilled, shivering pig to sieze his father ' s hand and swing pendulum-wise from it Daddy! he cried, Let me have him. I ' ll take care of him an ' I haven ' t had a pet since that mean old coyote got Jerry. Jerry had been a little, speckled, lordly bantam rooster. Can ' t I have him, Daddy?

A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE I guess, but he might not, and if you do save him he ' ll be worth ... Then aloud to the boy he said, Sure. He ' s yours. Go ahead and feed him, but you ' ve gotta take care of him yourself. And he passed out into the snow again. So busy was Billy during the next two weeks that he quite forgot his lineliness, forgot his grief in Jerry ' s sudden death, forgot that there was no one to play with. For Pinky — so the runt had been christened — had to be taught to drink sweetened milk from a spoon, and he was not an apt pupil. Finally, though, he learned the trick and then acquired the knack of drinking from a shallow pan. As he took a new interest in life, it be- came apparent to everyone except Billy that he would always retain his pig ' s idea concerning etiquette. In a month he had so far recovered that he was placed back in the pen with his brothers and sisters. No longer could Pinky be cared for alone, so upon Billy ' s sturdy little shoulders devolved the responsibility of caring for the entire litter. But he al- ways managed that Pinky should get the choicest portions — according to pig standards — from the kitchen scraps, and always he contrived to scratch his pet ' s back with a stick or corncob. So, through the blistering heat of breathless sum- mer noon, through the hazy, aromatic days of the haying season, through the chilly mornings of early autumn when the leaves were glorious splotches of col- or fluttering on the branches that had supported the white blossoms of spring, through the piled heaps of those same leaves fallen to earth, he carried in- numerable pails of water, countless buckets of corn to those pigs that grew from pigs to lean shotes, from lean shotes to fattening hogs. Still it was Pinky who came first at Billy ' s call and who ilngered behind to have his back scratched. Long since, the father had ceased to regard Pinky as the runt — he was now hog like the others— but to Billy he remained Pinky always. Home from school he came to feed the hogs but it was Pinky for whim he cared — whom he served and petted. There came a cold crisp day in late November when Billy, stopping by the hog-pen as he returned from school, call- ed for Pinky, but called in vain. No red bulk appeared from behind the shed to Ktand grunting contentedly while a cob clutched in Billy ' s fist scraped to and fro on the arched back. The boy stood star- ing about the pen bewilderedly, blankly; — then, dropping books and dinner-pail, he ran to the house, for Mother and an explanation. Mam ' , Mamma! he cried breathless- „_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„—„„ , — « _, BEARD SON The Original and Old Reliable SPORT STORE We Have What You Need In Your Games It Pays to Play Phone 190 303 So.

He ' s so big and awk ward. He ' s mine. I want him. Where is he, Mamma? The little figure straighten- ed as Billy valiantly refuted the slander- ous attack on his pet. But, Billy, he was so big and dirty. Euddy sold him with the others. He didn ' t iknow you still wanted him for a pet. Daddy — sold him — but— -he — he — was mine! How could he? I want Pinky now. The child ' s face was pale and his lips trembled, but he did not cry. He gave him to me and now he ' s so-old him. There, there, Daddy didn ' t know you cared so much. Daddy gave him to me! Pinky was rmine — mine — . Billy stopped suddenly, whirled on his heel and ran back to the empty pen — -the pen that had been Pinky ' s home. Later, when he returned his face was streaked and grimy, but composed. The father who faced Billy across the table that night could have seen — had he taken the trouble to look — that his son ' s eyes were no longer implicitly trustful, blindly worshipful, that hero worship was replaced by watchful criti- cism, that the priceless confidence of the ichild was gone. The first seeds of cyn- licism were planted, for Billy had receiv- ed his first lesson in selfishness. The veneer was indeed removed and the true clay idol exposed. The child ' s mind was filled with mor- bid thoughts, rendered more bitter for their repression. Why, Dad gobbled what he gave me, thought Billy, Exact- ly like Pinky bolted cabbage hearts. But the father noticed nothing and Billy held his peace, though he did not forget. In Lit and Comp I ' ve striven hard!

C. entered against Cap- tain Houston and his eight men: Upson, Hardy, McMichael, Weller, Stanley, Barr, Brewer and Daniels. A. C. J. C. took ten firsts to Chilocco ' s four. In some events, A. C. J. C. tied for first place among their own men or took both first and second places. The meet was rather one- sided, and in the practice the following Wednesday, the entire Chilocco track team, H. S. and College, competed against A. C. J. C. The final score at Chilocco was: Chilocco 59y 2 , A. C. J. C. 49%. The final score at the meet at A. C. was 80-29.

JUNIOR COLLEGE The basket ball season added another scalp to the fast growing collection of A. C. J. C. The first three games did not look very favorable, but the boys proved that a bad start means a good finish. The first game of the season was with the Alva Rangers a four year college, and they certainly were rangers. The tall lads from Oklahoma took the home team to a 44 to 37 drubbing. However, our defeat may be attributed to the fact that the boys had not played together long enough, and that Coach Stark changed the players around in an effort to find the most effective line up. Hous- ton made seven points, Vernon Smith seven, McMichael two, Weller fourteen, Hardy five, and Raymond Smith two. All of the players found the basket for at least one counter, which showed that we had a well balanced team and no out- standing stars. Our next game was with the All Stars, made up of former high school and col- lege players, such as Kroenert, Chapman, Spohn, Bratches, Smith Marsh, Vogel, and Gilbreatih. This high powered ag- gregation only defeated our boys 31 to 24. The first day of the year, George Gardner brought his McPherson College team down for a practice game. Lester Chapman, an Arkansas City boy made fourteen of his team ' s 41 points while Houston made fourteen of Arkansas City ' s 32 points. This was but another practice game, and the boys were hitting their stride and getting into shape for the league games which started the next week. Our first league game was with Par- sons, last year ' s champions. Everybody anxiously awaited the results of this game as an indication of our relative strength with the other junior college teams. A. C. easily won, the score being 33 to 20, with Weller, Houston and Hardy furnishing the majority of the points. From then on our team marched straight toward the championship. Independence was our next victim on January 13. The date must have had something to do with the visitors, as we easily defeated them 49 to 15. Next week the team invaded foreign territory. Independence and Coffeyville, easily winning both games, the score of the Independence game being 46 to 25 and of the Coffeyville game 35 to 11. In our next game with St. John ' s Re- serves, we easily doubled the score, 36 to 1 8. Chilocco was our next victim, the In- dians being beaten 34 to 13.

In our next game with Fort Scott we encountered the stiffest opposition so far. However, we won the game 43 to 26 and thus advanced a step nearer our coveted goal. In our next game with Chilocco we rolled up the biggest score so far, the count being 81 to 15. Weller made 26 points and Big Mac, 30. The next week the team started on their annual tour. The first stop was at Tarsons where they won a game 42 to 35. The next game was the big upset. At Port Scott, the boys dropped an er- ratic game to the home team by a 2 point margin, after leading most of the way. This was our only defeat so far by a junior college. This defeat made it necessary to defeat Iola, which was our last game, so you can imagine how the students at home hung around the bul- letin board waiting for news from Iola. At last it came and we were the State Champs, the boys having won 37 to 20. With the exception of a few minor games with the liigh school the basket tall season was over, and every one vot- ed it a.verv successful season. To Coach Daniel Stark goes one-half the credit and to the team the other half. It was largely due to Coach Stark ' s tire- less efforts and his ability to impart ihis wonderful basket ball knowledge to the men that A. C. Junior College has the State Basket Ball Championship. Our captain, Martin Hardy, was always in the thick of the game, urging his team mates on, and displaying those excellent qualities of leadership which are nec- essary in a successful captain. Weller could always be counted on for his share of the points and was always here, there, and everywhere in the way of the oppos- ing player, always keeping his man closely guarded. Big Mac generally dropped in a half a dozen counters in a careless fashion, always got the tip on his opponent, and played every minute of the game. Houston played every po- sition on the team with equal success, al- though his regular terth was forward. Huck was a good shot and ranked well toward the front at the close of the sea- son. The fact that Rakie Smith did not make as many points as the rest is good evidence that he was tending strictly to business. Very few forwards caught him napping. Vernon Smith could always be depended on in a pinch for a basket or two, and could always be relied upon to fight to the final gun. Upson did not play regularly on account of his high __ + W1i«mi Von Graduate VOIR PHOTOGRAPH From The Cornish Studio •§•, in, nn mi on mi ip.i | IN „ i in. nn mm mm ..4 HII — MM— Mil— ■ '   « I ' ll — J .§.„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_„„_,„ — „„_„_„l, BEAUTIFUL FURNITURE For LAWN and PORCH R, Bruce Parman , , — „„  12 A.

McMahon was always on hand and Coach Stark could send him into a game with the feeling that things would go as well as before. Leroy Plumley develop- ed into quite a finished player by the end of the season and should make a showing next year. Another player who should do well next year is Clyde Harris; Clyde played a good game this year and gave the regulars something to work for. Although Willis Barr did not always score, he always played hard and clean. Willis is another player who will make basket ball history for A. C. J. C. next year. Garrett Miles played his first year for A. C. and showed ability. We ' ll be counting on him too next year. Junior College made quite a name for itself in basket ball this year and every- body confidently expects it to win more laurels next year. We saw in the pa per the other day that the new dollar bills were made of extra heavy paper and would last twice as long as the old ones. We are glad at last something has been done to make our money last longer. SH-SH-SH. Sh-sh-sh. Skip day tomorrow. Such were the words of several college stu- dents Wednesday, April 28. Therefore the next day at 1:00 all the students met at Wilson Park and were soon on their way to Anderson ' s six miles east of town. The faculty members were the only ones present that afternoon and were of course forced to teach empty feats. The afternoon at Anderson ' s was spent playing volley ball, wading in the river, and climbing trees. Several of the more adventurous, however, went either boat riding, in a boat that had almost as much water inside as outside, or swim- ming. The eats committee overestimated on the amount of food, but that didn ' t make any difference with most of the students. Of course, Ivan, Roky, Plum, and Willie had their share. After all this, someone decided that they needed more, and went after ice cream. In sipite of the fact that several thoughtless girls had to walk over the gravel to find their boots, most of the crowd was still full of pep on the way home.

COLLEGE FRENCH CLUB The Fleur-de-lys Club, with its twenty members from th e two French classes, has had some very enjoyable meetings this semester. Most of the meetings were held in the Girls ' Club room, having for entertainment readings and musical num- bers from the different members. La ete des Gofres, (waffle supper) afforded a delicious treat and all appe- tites were equal to the occasion. A more formal event was a dinner given to the Spanish club. Brief talks and French anecdotes composed the pro- gram. The last meeting was a picnic at the Jarvis farm. Here a 1 1 enjoyed themselves playing volley ball, going swimming, and eating the beans and sandwiches. THE TIME DRAWS NEAR I ' ve had lots of fun here in college, More fun than in high school last year. I ' ve attended ' most all of the picnics, But I ' ve shirked in my studies I fear.

On the eastern horizon the sun had climbed slightly above a jungle of tall coooanut trees, and now, shining down on the lake, gave a deep blue luster to the rippling surface. From the western) shore protruded a long, narrow pier and, near the end, sat Stubby Jones, a bam- boo pole pushed out in front of him and a tomato can of bait at his side. His straw hat was frayed, his shirt some- what faded. From ragged overalls, roll- ed up to the knee, hung two tanned legs, twinging in time with his cheery whistle. A little way farther down the pier stood another fisherman. He was decked in white flannels and a soft felt hat, and his slender steel pole and nickel plated reel glistened and sparkled as he cast his green imitation minnow far out, to strike the water with a plop. Stubby, in a lazy tone, had greeted the man: Ain ' t this a swell mornin ' though! Fish jest fightin ' fer the bait, and I got three already. For a moment there was no reply, then, in a low grumble, This country ' s a joke — frightfully hot all the time. A jpause as he reeled in his line, before continuing, and in a harsher voice, Kid, cut out the whistling ! How do you expect man to fish with that noise goin ' on? Aw heck, Mister! came in a startled voice, fish can ' t hear nothin ' , but the whistling stopped just the same. The man made no response to this. He seemed, in fact, to ignore it. How- ever, he cast his green minnow more and more into the water Stubby was fish- ing until the boy, afraid their lines might become entangled, moved a little farther down the pier. The stranger in flannels coughed. The waves kept up their incessant sla-slap against the ipier, now and then the shriek of a gull breaking the monotony. Suddenly he snarled, Say, boy! What kind of bait you got? Shrimp tails was the hesitating re- ply. Then, in a spunkier tone, They ' re the only bait for mullet. An angry flicker on the face of the other hastened him to add, You know, Mister, I ' d sure like to have a pole and reel liJke . . . but he got no further. Once more, for the fourth time that morning, his line was taut. While he landed his fish, the stranger savagely wound in his line, seized his empty creel, and stalked down the pier toward shore, mouthing something about + Give The Roseberry Filling Station A Trial STOP AND GAS With Weller Stanley ROSEBERRY MOTOR CO.

Lane, and through the efforts of Leroy Plumley, president of the organization, and a lively bunch of fellows helping them, have had some fine meetings, not to mention the feeds every other Tuesday, since the Christmas hol- idays. Meetings were held at the Methodist church, in joint session with the Hi-Y, in order that both groupis might secure the benefits of the fine talks. The last meeting of the year was held at the Christian church. B. V. Edworthy was present at this meeting and after giving a short talk on Camp Wood, he helped in the installation of officers for the ensuing year. With a larger enroll- ment expected next year in Junior Col- lege, much will be expected inthe Y. M. C. A. work next year. rotten luck and highly seasoning it with profanity. Stubby muttered to himself. That fella don ' t know how to fish. I ' d sure like to have his ' quipment though. Pres- ently he was back in his old place and, puckering up his lips, began to whistle a favorite tune. — Clyde Harris. ORATION AND DECLAMATION The Junior College again upheld its ex- ceptional record this year When Robert McMlchael won first place in oration at the contests held at Independence, April 20. Helen Alexander, the representative in declamatiton, did not place, however. This was the first time that Bob had tried oration. The oration was entitled A Challenge to Intelligence. Helen ' s reading was The Laughter of Leen. Both the contests were coached by Miss Pauline B. Sleeth, teacher of the public speaking class. No trophies or medals were awarded Parsons won second in oratory. Coffey- ville third, and Port Scott fourth. In declamation, Port Scott won first and Parsons second. This is the second time that Arkansas City has taken first in oration; Margaret Rothfus won first at Coffeyville last year with the oration The Cry of the Chil- dren. A silver loving cup was awarded last year, the only one that the College possesses. One day Mae Marsh was admiring Miss Clough ' s new scarf. She kept saying how pretty he was and asking where she got him.

C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE 19 COLLEGE PICNIC Shove - Push - Bing - Bang, were the sounds that issued forth from before the bulletin board as the freshmen tried to get at least a glance at the mysterious question mark. However, they were only to be disappointed in finding that one glance was going to be of no conse- quence to them and many of the lazier ones abandoned the effort until a later date. Albeit, it was almost as well, for those that did read it were almost as mystifed as before. It did look rather suspicious though — a plate, a tin cup, and old clothes. First it was whispered that the sign was merely to mislead the poor innocent freshmen and one went so far as to state that they must think us aw- ful simps. Ideas and rumors of ideas followed. Curiosity wa.xed so strong that on Monday evening, April 19, the street in front of the building was filled with curious looking people.- At the time I remember I was extremely glad I had not let Bobs (my watch dog) come as he had wished, We had been there only a few minutes when a truck steamed up Second street, anchoring not far from the side entrance. After that the poor fresh- mens ' mind began to clear a little and they seemed to realize that they were supposed to get aboard. That is to say, they realized it (after several craltesl and ipackages had been safely placed in the end towards the chauffeur. It was only a short time until all the available (and some unavailable) space had. 1 een taken and in a shorter time still some of our members began to disgrace cur college with such slang as: Let ' s get gone, What ' s holding the buggy? i nd several others I do not care to men- tion. The ride that followed was very eventful, very bumpy, and at times very doubtful, it being necessary for the rear and second class passengers to get off and push. At one time on our journey our sympathy was called forth. One of our honorable professors and his more honorable wife were compelled to halt about half-way up a steep incline to de- cide what mysterious trouble had caus- ed their means of transportation to stall. Taking it all in all, however, the death rate was comparatively low considering the danger it was necessary to go through. After the truck had come to a perfect standstill and the occupants thereof had been unloaded and were endeavoring to round out their flatten- ed bodies, something terrible happened. At least (judging from the ' screams that i ' sued from the direction of the river) we were preparing to add more names to BOYS A Charge Service on a Ten Payment Plan at Regular Cost Prices It ' s a Chance to Buy as You Want, Pay as You Can, Enjoy Highest Quality Merchandise At Fairest Cash Prices THE PEOPLE ' S STORE •!• ' • 20 A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE the casualty list. We reached the scene a few minutes later, only to find that a few delicate and dignified young ladies had been pushed off a slight embank- ment by a few rowdy boys and were screaming merely because it seemed the only proper thing to do. Out of one corner of my eye I noticed that the pack- ages were being unloaded and placed by a large tree not far from the river, so we turned out backs upon the more un- interesting, and walked slowly in that direction. I am able to place the word slowly there because we did not wish to call attention to our movements and de- cided that we could probably gain time that way. I believe in the long run we did, for we had nearly reached the tree before we heard the thundering herd be- hind us and although some of them over- took us, we managed, I think, to be in the upper one-fourth. For the next few minutes if you had tried to speak I really believe that you could have been heard; to be entirely truthful the only noise of consequence was the sizzling of the coffee. I do not blame them, how- ever, for the food was very GOOD and I suppose the students had not eaten for some time. And if you do not mind, I believe I shall write that SOME TIME in that fashion. The next thing, as I recall, after that deep quiet, was the incident of the coffee. Someone had had the forethought to place it in the center of the flames, where it was dis- tinctly easy to reach. There was one man, nevertheless, hero enough to brave the flames, and as I remember, by stand- ing upon his head he was able to secure a few cups. The rest was used for dish water in order that we might wash the paper plates we had been using; it did seem such a shame to throw them away dirty. That ' s about all I am able to recall, with the exception of a few tight rope walking exhibitions, where the fit- test survived. Oh, yes, I nearly forgot: A good time was reported by all. — Izola Mann. t ' OEMS BY AL3IEDA GILKEY Imitation of Lio Po. The little,, yellow bird In his wicker cage, Swings to and fro.

THE LANGUAGE CLASSES ' DEBUT The Spanish and French clubs of the College Decided to have fun and a treat, So they packed up some eats and a vol- ley ball net, And at six o ' clock all were to meet. They climbed into cars and sped far away, Out to the big Jarvis farm, Where the rocks and the spring and the plants gladly play With the students who do them no harm. They ate of the sandwich and salad and beans, Till they thought they could eat no more. But the peanuts and Eskimo Ices,, like dreams, Made one wonder what those things were for. At volley ball every one practiced his Clouds The clouds a-floating past the window Seem to say to me, Oh come, and roam with us today. Oh come! Be free! But I, alas, cannot be loose, My lessons wait for me. . . .
