A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE 17 STUBBY JONES The morning was bright and. clear. 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.

16 A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE SPRING. In the spring a young girl ' s fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of clothes. In hat and dress of latest style She consciously does pose. The problem is of what she wears And not of where she goes. Her duties are neglected And her new clothes fill her mind, Her studies are the fashion books The smartest things she seeks to find; She may be slow at school work But in fashion ' s she ' s not behind. — Imogene Cusac. 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. Now that the year ' s almost over, I ' ll have to be hitting the ball, To get up in my work before test time, Or I may not be here next fall. —Willis Barr. WONDER WHY— Corlett Cotton doesn ' t get a patent on his laugh? (or has he?) A. C. J. C. just can ' t be beat? Florenz Zeigfield doesn ' t visit A. C. J. C? There is plenty of folly around here. The officers of the club are : Presi- dent, Robert Parman; Vice-president, Jereldine Parker; Secretary, Louise Spencer; Treasurer, Mildred Glasscock, and Reporter, Norma Day. The members are: Genevieve Johnson, De Maude Johnson, Alice Kirkpatrick, Robert Parman, Martha Toot, Morris Cannon, Ruth Counts, Charles Daniels, Norma Day, Almeda Gilkey, Mildred Glasscock, Izola Mann, Eileen Marshall, Garrett Miles, Bessie Miller, Jereldine Parker, Ruth Redden, Dorothy Seyfer, Louise Spencer, and Rhoda Talley. 4..—..—..

18 A. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE Y. M. C. A. The College Y. M. C. A., under the su- pervision of R. H. 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. She must have the idea that anything draped around the should- ers would just naturally be he. . . . , . „ Onyx Hosiery, Pointex Heel ORMISTON ' S For SHOES Dr. Scholl ' s Foot Comfort Service ♦ ■
