Through the efforts of the teachers, college classes have proved more enjoyable as well as more instructive, and the standing and general morale of the school has been raised. E. A. Funk, Dean of the Junior College, re- ceived his A. B. degree from the Missouri State Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri, and his M. S. degree from the University of Kansas at Lawrence. He also did graduate work in summer schools at the University of Chicago and Wiscon- sin University. Arkansas City has been his home for the past nineteen years. In 1917, when the junior high school was organized he was appointed principal. In 1924 he was appointed principal of the senior high school, in which capacity he now serves. In 1930, he was also appointed by the Board of Education as dean of the junior college. Before coming to Arkansas City he taught five terms at Caney. For the past five years, Dean Funk has been a member of the State Board of Control of the Kansas State High School Athletic Association. ffm YS 'B-'6 Alhfgljvqah VAGE fi He has participated in college football, basketball, and track, and enjoys playing tennis. He is a member of the Phi Delta Kappa, honor- aiy educational fraternity, and of the Kansas School Master's Club, an honorary society for school men. His hobby is horticulture, and he loves Howers and trees. His ambition, which as yet has never become a reality, was to be a successful farmer.

He taught in rural schools and in the Dodge City High School before coming to Arkansas City in 1924. Mr. Galle taught the college debate class from 1926 to 1921, during which time he produced three championship teams. , Collecting of stamps and rare coins is his hobby. When a youngster, he had two ambitions. One was to be a merchant, and the other to become a lawyer. Neither has been realized. DANIEL C.

He also at- tended summer school sessions at Southwestern, and at the Universities of Illinois and Kansas. He majored in the physical sciences.

Miss Johnson has in her possession cartoons of Lindbergh's life since the time of his solo flight across the Atlantic. She also writes poetry. C. ST. JOHN, the executive head of the entire Arkansas City school system, has an unusual record for service. For eighteen years he has served in his present capacity as superintendent of the Arkansas City schools. During his administration many school buildings in the local system have been re- modeled at remarkably low cost to the tax- payers. Mr. St. John has also served as president of the Kansas State Teachers Association. One of the most outstanding accomplish- ments of his term of office was the great increase in the membership of that Associa- tion. He retired from office amid expressions of appreciation from every section of the state. He has conducted classes in subjects per- taining to secondary education during the summer sessions of Wichita University. Another outstanding accomplishment of Mr. St. John's term of office is the building of a municipal auditorum. His interest and enthusiasm in this project has been pro- nounced. To Mr. St. John and his tireless eiorts in improving the Arkansas City school system, we owe our sincere thanks and appreciation. PAGE Able Citizens Are DR. L. E. BRENZ President, Board of Education HE Board of Education is composed of civic- minded citizens whose foremost thought is to serve the community. They are busy men who pause in the midst of their activities to ad- minister the most important phase of our civil- zation. Since they are such busy men, it is obvious that they can not attend to all the items of our educa- tional system themselves, so they delegate the superintendent and principals to deal with the routine. However, they exercise watchful care to see that their ideas and principals are carried out. The Board of Education is the head of the en- tire educational plan of Arkansas City. Its tasks are unpaid and often thankless. Only unselfish men who have the welfare of the people at heart are willing to serve on this board. The present board has given honest and faith- ful services in its administration. One of its most notable sichievments is assuring for us the new school building which will house a much- necded gymnasium and auditorium. Our old gym- nasium is so small that it would only be a matter of time until it would be difficult to secure visit- ing teams. Once elected to the board, the members usually serve several years. The present members are Dr. L. E. Brenz, president, Dr. R. C. Young, C. G. Holmsten, Dr. L. M. Beatson, H. W. Earlougher, Guy L. Ecroyd, Dr. R. L. Ferguson, and Dean Trueblood. VAGE 10 on School Board Committees of the Board are: buildings and grounds-Mr. Holmsten, Dr. Beatson, Dr. Young, teachers-Dr. Brenz, Dr. Beatson, Dr. Fergusong finance-Dr. Young, Mr. Trueblood, Dr. Ferguson: purchasing-Dr. Beatson, Dr. Brenz, Mr.Trueblood. Dr. Brenz, president of the Board, is the oldest in point of service, having been on the Board since 1921, was vice-president from 1925 to 1928, and has been president since that time. C. G. Holmsten is a prominent retired rail- road man. He was elected to the Board in 1923, and has been vice-president since 1928. Dr. Beatson was elected to the Board in 1929. He is a well-known physician, outstanding for his civic services. Dr. Young, while not so old in point of service on the Board, has been untiring in his efforts. He was an overseas army surgeon. Many people have been helped through his charity. Dean Trueblood, elected last year, is another railroad man. Like the other members of the Board. he has proved himself to be a civic leader even before being elected. Dr. R. L. Ferguson, one of the four medical members of the Board, is a prominent citizen of the community. He has lived in Arkansas City for the past 14 years, during which time he has been a outstanding eye, ear, nose, and throat special- ist. Dr. Ferguson is a member of the Kiwanis Club. Guy L. Ecroyd, who is advertising manager for the Newman Dry Goods Company, is an efficient worker and member of the School Board. He has been the official clerk of the Board for a number of years. He is also a member of the local Cham- ber of Commerce. H. VV. Earlougher, treasurer of the Board, was graduated from the Arkansas City High School. He came to Arkansas City in 1887, and has been a leading real estate and insurance dealer in this community for many years. An eminent citizen of this town, Mr. Earlougher is also a member of the Chamber of Commerce. The administration attended the convention of the National Education Association during the week of February 23. The Board members were primarily interested in viewing new equipment for the auditorium, while the school heads attended the sessions of the convention. By attending such coventions, the administration is always informed of the latest methods of education. To this group we owe our sincere appreciation for their faithful and loyal service to the com- munity. 'Sf if if S? Gif 52 52 SE 55 SS? S5 SQ SB YS? if 1154.

With a larger graduating class than that of last year, the sophomores have done their share in turning out an increased number of students. At the beginning of the year, Dick Hunt was selected as president of the sophomore class. This is his second year as an officer for this student group: last year he was secretary-treas- urer of his class. He was largly responsible for the enthusiastic support of the college yearbook in his class, and was later made buisness manager of this publication. Geraldine Kantzer was elected vice-president. In high school she was a member of the National Honor Society, and an active Worker on G. R. Dora Gillig, who graduated from the Arkansas City High School with second honors in her class, made a satisfactory secretary-treasurer for the sophomore class this year. Lillian Clough and Anna Ruth Maus were the sophomore representatives to the Student Council. Miss Clough has been active in music during her school days here, and she had one of the leading parts in the high school-junior college musical comedy, Ohl Doctor . She was president of the Honor Society in high school. Miss Maus has been active in all school affairs. She is secretary of the Pep Club, and a member of the college debate team. At the beginning of the year. when the sopho- mores had their first class meeting, a nominating committee was seleceted by the students to choose the different nominees for the various offices. The members of this committee were Lillian Clough, Clyde Creveling, Bill Hamilton, Geraldine Kantzer and Arthur Sanderson. After they had selected the nominees, the class was allowed to vote on them. The above oficers were its final choices. The class this year has been instrumental in forwarding all the present activities of the junior college and has also added one thing to the gen- eral credit of this organization. With the aid and cooperation of the freshman class, it has made this yearbook again possible for the lirst time in a number of years. Some of the subjects in the college curriculum are available for only the sophomores, such as psychology, advanced composition, ethics, and some others. The class has kept up the standard of the junior college by allowing none of them to be abolished through lack of enrollment. All of the general committees of the school have sophomore representatives on them and the president of the student council must be a sopho- more. The class sponsors for this year were Miss Thelma Hall and Daniel C. Stark.

RKANSAS CITY Junior College proved a popular drawing card this year, with a slight increase over the enrollment last year. Increased by a large number' of out-of-town students, the freshman class numbered 209. This large group of Jucos elected Erle Volkland to head their class activities. The president came from Caldwell and entered as a sophomore in high school here. In his senior year he was business manager of the Mirror. This year, as a leader of the freshmen, he was instrumental in introducing the petition for the junior college yearbook. Clifford Crews, an Indian boy from Cnicliasha, Oklahoma, was chosen for the office of vice- president. He took over his duties in an efficient manner. James Gould was the secretary-treasurer of the freshman class. He is a talented violinist, and has been active in band and orchestra work. The freshman representatives to Student Coun- cil were Donald Beatson and Gladys Cowen. Miss Cowen is a new student from Cullison. Besides being a member of the Council, she is also a member of the college debate squad. Donald Beatson, the other representative of the class, has carried his share of the burden of school government very adequately. He has always been active in school affairs. The freshman class, as well as the sophomore, elected a nominating committee at its Hrst class meeting. This committee was composed of Donald Beatson, Roberta Bowen, Kenneth Curfman, Dick Howard, and Ina Southern. This smaller group of students could select the nominees for the offi- ces more easily than a larger group. The class has been active in all the divisions of junior college work and has also been well- represented in athletic, forensic, and other acti- vities of the school. It has enthusiastically given its support to the yearbook and its members have worked industriously on many acting committees. There are many special students in the college who, although they are not freshmen, deserve mention. They are the students who have previ- ously had college work. The special students this year were Dwight Ashburn, Betty Baisinger, Helen Boggs, Wilda Bricker, Thelma Brooks, Homer Brown, Stanley Brubaker, who is in one of the freshmen pictures, Mrs. Helen J. Conley, Lucille B. Crawfo1'd, Charles Clack, Mrs. H. J. Edwards, Leila Holt, Kenneth Huff, Lois Kirk- patrick, Lois Lancaster, F. S. Payton, Frederick Shea, Irene VVilson, and Ralph White.

This orginizaton must choose from time to time throughout the year the various acting committees of the student body. The members of these important groups must be fully qualified for these responsible po- sitions, and it is the duty of each Student Coun- cil member to know these people whom they ap- point, and be able to vote intellingetly when one is to be chosen. For niany years it has also acted in the capacity of intermediary between the student body and out-of-town organizations of like nature, as well as the faculty and the townspeople. This year the Student Council has been instru- mental in making the yearbook a possibility. At the first of the year, the Student Council selected the members of a social conmittee, which has planned the social funct'ons and parties of the junior college throughout tthe year. The students on this committee are Marian Getter, chairmang Roberta Bowen, Dora Gillig, Bill Hamilton, and Erle Volkland. The Student Council also appointed the mem- bers of the Assembly Program Committee, which has charge of the Weekly assembly entertain- ments. On these programs appear sueakers from the various organizations of the city, such as the Ministerial Alliance or the American Legion. Many students take part also, and as these pro- grams have to be planned far ahead of time, the members of this committee must be capable and trustworthy. Dorothy Ewing is chairman, and the other members are Rachel Foltz ,Roberta Bowen, Kenneth Franklin, Frances Gordon, and K. R. Galle, sponsor and advisor. Arthur Sanderson was selected as president of the Student Council. Lillian Clough and Anna Ruth Maus are the representatives of the soph- omore classg Gladys Cowen and Donald Beatson, of the freshman classg and Ruth Knedler, of the Y. W. C. A. of the junior college. Assistant Dean K. R. Galle is sponsor and advisor for the group. Arthur Sanderson, president, is a member of the National Honor Society, and was also the pres- ident of his sophomore class in high school. Lillian Clough is also a member of the Nation- al Honor Society. She is a talented singer and has had a leading role in the school opera for two consecutive years. Her ambition is to become more accomplished in the singing line. I'AGl'l IS Anna Ruth Maus had one of the leads in the senior class play when she was in high school, and has always been prominent in school activities. Gladys Cowen was a member of the first debate team in high school at Pratt, Kansas. She is an accomplished reader, as Well as be'ng a good student. Donald Beatson has always been active in school affairs and has been very popular with students and teachers alike. Ruth Knedler was a member of the National Honor Society in high school. She is active in Y. W. C. A. work and all other school activities. Members of this governing body are selected by the class or organization which they represent. The president is elected by both the sophomore and freshman classes at the beginning of the year. Through the cooperation of these various repre- sentatives, the entire student body and each or- ganization has a voice in the government of the school. This efficient type of student rule has been in practice for a number of years and has proved its value through the progress of the whole school program. ff -ef Wig C' X .f - . ' 2 Pep Club Promotes School Spirit HE Pep Club of the junior college was organ- ized in 1931 for the purpose of supporting school activities, such as football, basketball, track, debate, plays, and forensic contests. As a nucleus of school pep, the members have spread the spirit over the entire student body. Be- sides being an organization to create enthusiasm in college extra-curricular activities, the members have picnics and parties during the year. Marching in the business district before the football games was one of the methods used by the organization for creating pep. The pep chapels also helped arouse school spirit. Between halves of several of the basketball games, members of the Pep Club presented stunts. Membership in the club is open to any college student who is interested in promoting college spirit. A black sweater with a tiger insignia on the front and an orange and black arm-band con- stitutes the uniform of a member. This year's officers were: Haskell Gill, presi-A dent, Jean Howes, vice-presidentg Anna Ruth Maus, secretaryg Lillian Clough, treasu1'er. The standing committees are-social: Kathleen Ad- ams, chairman, Mary Lucille Miller, and Merrill Piersong stunt: Julia Shea, chairman, Gladys Cowen, Dick Howard, Rachel Foltz, and Warren Putnam, finance: Analee Hill, chairman, Helen Ward, and Winfred Barkerg property: Melvin Haines, chairman, Evelyn Gray, decorations: Sam Maier, chairman, Donald Keel, Maxine Dobson, and Jerry Wees. One of the social events of the Pep Club this year was a skating party and hamburger fry at Wilson Park, December 3. The affair was planned by the social committee. A great deal of the success of the organization goes to Miss Lucille Plette, sponsor, and Donald 7 - 1 r Q6 v-HAH rwnrfx f C5 RAM .CX rv L ,dllllmllllllllllllf r Naden and Jane Irvine, cheer leaders. With their able backing, the club is well-organized, and serves as an inspi1'ation to those who are participating in any athletic, dramatic, or forensic contest for the school. During the year the stunt committee of the club has planned and executed many of the pep in the assemblies before the basketball games as well as in the weekly chapel exercises of the college. membership of the club this year totaled approximately '70 persons. This is a larger number than has ever been included before in this junio? college organization. stunts The School Calendar September 27-Football game at Independence October 3--Junior College party October 4-Football game at ElDorado October 18-Football game with Parsons, October 31-Football game at Tonkawa h are November 8-Football game with Fort Scott, here November 22-Football game, Hutchinson, here December 5-Basketball game at St. John's December 10--Basketball game, St. John's, here December 11-Public Speaking Dinner Club December 12--Pep Club skating party December 18, 19-Presentation of the Messiah December 20-Basketball game with Friends, here January 3-Basketball game with ElDorado, here January 4--Basketball game at Independence January 8-Public Speaking Dinner Club January 24 January 31 Basketball game at ElDorado Basktball game at Dodge City February 1-Basketball game at Garden City February 4-Basketball game at ElDorado February 6-Basketball game with Parsons, here February S-Basketball game, Cotfeyville, here February 9-Y.

As the college began to grow in size and attendance, a need was felt for some organization in which the students could express their vocal abilities. A chorus of only a few voices was formed. In fact, it was really an octet. Every year has seen the addition of more members, un- til the enrollment now totals 55. Every kind of music is sung by the choir-- operatic, classical, oratorio, popular, and sacred. Each year a few more popular tunes are added to the repertoire, which breaks the momotony of singing only classical music. For the past four years the choir has taken part in the annual presentation of George Fred- erick Handel's oratorio, the Messiah , It is the largest project ever attempted by the music de- partments. The idea was conceived by C. L. Hinchee, who directs the personnel of the choir, and A. E. San Romani, the director of the school orchestra. At the first performance the audience was inclined to be skeptical, for it is very seldom that amateurs can sing such a difficult work and sing it well. Much to their surprise, the presentatio-n was an instant succ3s:. In fact the Mcs1iah made such a hit that the department decided to give the ora- torio as an annual Christmas present to the people of Arkansas City. The demand of the public for the presentation of the Messiah is growing year after year. Because the college choir has had more experience in singing the work, it appears to be the real backbone of the chorus. The two-act musical comedy. Ohl Doctor, was presented by the musical departments of the high school and junior college, February 14. This modern opera, with its catchy tunes, clever lines, and rhythmic dances, was written by Palmer Clark. The junior college students who had leading parts in this production were Haskell Gill, who played the part of Doctor Drinkwater, and Lillian Clough, as Hono1'. Other leads were taken by John Tufts and Alice Newman, high school students. The plot of this operetta concerned a lost letter containing valuable information, and all that hap- pened to it before it reached its owner. Charles L. Hinchee directed the chorus and the cast: A. E. San Romani directed the orchestra, and Miss Edith Joyce Davis directed the dance numbers. Y. VV. C. A.

Ever since the organization of the department, it has served as a bureau of entertainment for the whole community, and its members have had the opportunity to put on whole programs for clubs in the city and for rural schools throughout the southern part of the county. Its players and readers have been in constant demand, and have appeared on as many as sixty-five outside pro- grams in one year. Last year, members of the class provided a guest program for the English Club of Southwestern College in Winfield, and have an invitation to give a choral reading program for the same club in the near future. This is one of of the few schools in this part of the state which has developed a reading choir. Whether of the nature of comedy or tragedy, the plays produced have always been of a high type and have received the Commendation of the public. Among the long plays produced in the past are: He and She and Everyday by Rach- el Crothersg Second Childhood, Covington and Simpsong You and I, and The Youngest, Phil- lip Barry, The Enemy, Channing Pollockg 'tMary Rose, by James Barrie, and The Garden of the Moon, by Arthur Jearue. For the last two yars the annual speech play has also been given in Cedar Vale as a number of the Lyceum in that town. In the state and district contests Arkansas City Junior College has ranked high, having received a number of firsts and seconds in both reading and oration. Last year Edward Bowlby won second place in oration, and Joy Maurine Parman, second in reading in the district contest. The preceeding year Ray Sandefur won first in reading. Those who have done well in this department have in some cases won immediate recognition in other colleges to which they have gone, and in some cases have been granted advanced standing. Members of the class who have gone into teach- ing positions have found much use for the training received in this department. Another feature of the department is the College Dinner Club, which provides opportunity for de- lightful social contact as well as for practice pro- grams. It meets once a month. All former mem- bers of the class are welcome to attend at any time. Members of the class are: Dorothy Ewing, Louise Clark, Dora Gillig, Sarah Elizabeth Gots- chall, Helen Hart, Geraldine Kantzer, Ellen Kit- trell, Anna Ruth Maus, Elsie Patton, Gaye Stites, Marguerite Thomas, Fern Warren, Ruth Walker, Edith Wilcox, Dale Davis, Kenneth Franklin, Selby Funk, Robert Somers, and Maxine Le Faivere. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth is the istructor. Reward Time-you open-handed thief, Stealing all the golden brief, Sweet hours of life--what bold defense, What calculated recompense Can you oH'er'? Who's to pay For the loss of each glad day A? Time is silent, but the thought Of memories that can't be bought Comes to solace me, as though Time had always willed it to. And I smile to see, each day, Time to snatch the hours but leave the pay. -Miss Inez Johnson. PAGE Z2 To A Live Coal A weird pulsating glow, a crimson heart, An everchanging oft-times fading light.

Moonlight The entire city was covered with a silvery sheen and a soft glow that only the light of the moon can produce. Beautiful things were more pronounced and even dullcr objects had taken on an aspect of beauty. Trees shinimered in the moonlight like delicate pieces of cut glass, giving forth twinkling lights as they swayed back and forth in the breeze, reflecting the light of the moon on their shiny surfaces, looking too fragile to be touched. Harsh colors were now softened to more pleasing qualities, and the world seemed to be wrapped in a blanket of deep silence. The tranquillity of the scene added to its splendor and made one forget his daily cares and worries R-Jack Axley The Approaching of the Fog The other evening as I was driving east of town under a clear sky and the light of a nearly full moon, I had the opportunity of seeing the approach of a fog. Far to the north it appeared, coming toward me as a low cloud of smoke. Closer and closer it came until at last I was engulfed in it. The first cloud of fog passed quickly and I saw it moving into the south as a passing cloud of dust. Shortly after came another cloud of fog so dense that the bright moon became only a blotch of dim light. In this short time the clear beautiful evening had been converted into a dismal damp area of darkness. -Donald Beatson PAGE 253 Skornia Coaches College Debaters HE question for debate this year was Re- solved, that Congress should be allowed to override, by a two-thirds majority vote, de- cisions of the Supreme Court declaring acts of Confrress unconstitutional. This question is a vital one at the present time because cf the recent decisions of the Supreme Court involving the New Deal legislation of the present administration. Therefore the material for both thi- alfirmative and the negative sides of the fi'i':ft.iot1 was to be found in many current news- papers and magazines, as well as in the political fpeeflics of the representatives of both political parties. As the members of the team were late in get- ting started on their collections of data and ma- terial to be used in their speeches, they are to be coinmended for their show'ng at the first practice tournament which they attinded. It was held in VVinfield on Friday and Saturday, December 6 and 7. They only attended one other tournament, also a practice, at Hutchinson, February 7 and 8. The members of the team were furnished with the same general iraterial which all the debaters of the various schools used. In addition, they are expected to read articles in current publications to secure more material for their speeches. In order to clinch their arguments for or again- st the question for debate, the speaker must have many references and much evidence with which to prove his points. He must have many quota- tions taken from the speeches, sayings, and let- ters of famous leaders all over the country in or- der to prove that his statement is backed by the opinion of someone who has carved out his niche in the Hall of Fame and who, therefore, may ex- press his opinions and thus win the respect and backing of his followers. It is also especially ef- fective to have a statement from either one of the Suprenxf- Court judges or a member of Congress who has been rash enough to commit himself u.ga'nst his own faction. In that way a debate! may confuse the opposing team cnsiderably. There are various technical terms in a debate whicli the debater must learn to recognize and rse. He must also be able to be a forceful speaker, impressing his listeners and the judge with his knowledge o the question and his firm belief in his opinions and arguments which must, as stated before, be backed by conclusive evidence. There are certain procedures for each speaker to follow, for instance, the second negative speak- er must first sum up the opponents arguments i'.'.Gl'1 24 which have been refuted by his colleague, the first negative speakerg he must then name those that he is going to disprove and then do sog he must give his own constructive speech, as well as building up his colleague's case again if it has been torn down by the first affirmative speaker. These are only some of the things the second negative speaker has to do, and there is a certain procedure for each of the speakers to follow. Thus, one may sie that debate has a great deal of work connected with it. and that, since each de- bater must be first on one side of the question and then on the other, he has a lot to lea1'n in the time in which he is preparing his material. Debate activities are a vital part of the school's activities, and a team needs encouragement just as badly as a basketball or football team. The debate team of the junior college this year consisted nfostly of new members, all of the for- mer ones having graduated last year, Milford Rawlings was the only one who had been out for debate at any other time in Arkansas City, and Gladys Cowen had had one year of debating eX- perience in high school at Cullison, under Miss Elsie Penfield, a former member of the Arkansas City debating squad. Those who went out for debate this year were Gladys Cowen. Anna Ruth Maus, Helen Ward. Selby Funk, Bill Hamilton, Milford Rawlings, and George Reynolds. Harry Skornia is the coach. The Firelight It leaps and writhes, casting grotesque shadows about the surrounding room. A sharp, white Hame will suddenly leap from the smoldering red log. Its tongue is quick as that of a snake. Small yellow points of fire dance about and on the logs, giving me the impression of demons leaping glee- fully. Now there is a flare as a log falls apart and a shower of sparks lights up the whole room, caus- ing the furniture to loom against the brightened walls. As the flare dies down a few feeble sparks cling to life. Then nothing is left but a bed of red hot coais to be reduced in time to cold gray ashes. -Nina Maurine Davis. YW.C.A. Studios Book b jones HRIST'S Alternative to- Communism, by E. Stanley Jones was the book used by the Y. W. C. A. for their study and discussion this year. Parts of the book were reviewed at general meetings, and the reviews were followed by dis- cussion by the group. In the chapel program presented by the Y. W. C. A., some of the girls reviewed a portion of the book in order to show the student body the type of study work being done by the organization. Those who reviewed chapters were Doris Buss, Ellen Kittrell, Anna Ruth Maus, and Fern War- ren. At the beginning of the year a tea was held in the club room to which all the college girls we1'e invited. About 20 girls responded to make up the membership for the year. The first meeting ex- clusively for members was an induction service held in the Methodist Church. The general meetings we1'e especially interest- ing this year. Although the study and discussion of the book, Christ's Alternative to Communism. formed the main part of the meetings, several other worthwhile and interesting things were taken up. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth, the head sponsor of the club, read selections from Kagawa's poems at several meetings, and his work in Japan was discussed. Activity was not limited to their own group, however. The girls were of service not only to the school and community, but, through the leadership of Miss Sleeth, they contributed to Oriental miss- ions. These contributions were given in the form of small paper lanterns, which the girls filled with pennies, nickels, and dimes. At Thanksgiving time the group sponsored a drive for food donations, which were given to the Red Cross for distribution to the needy. The week before Christmas about 25 needy children were guests of the organization at a Christmas party. The children enjoyed games and stories until Santa Claus himself came to give each child a gift. As usual, the Y. W. C. A. finance committee sponsored the college book exchange this year to help students find books they needed and buyers for their old ones. The girls also decorated the club room for the Christmas season. At the beginning of the second semester a new membership drive was begun. A covered-dish sup- per, to which all members and girls interested in the club were invited, was held at the home of lireda Wilson, president. Another outstanding event of the year was a vesper tea, held at the Presbyterian Church, Feb- ruary 9. This affair was planned by the community Y. W. C. A. for the junior and senior high Girl Reserves, the junior college Y. W. C. A., and their mothers. All those present enjoyed the affair, and it is hoped that the event may be repeated every year. The officers of the college Y. W. C. A. for this year were Freda Wilson, presidentg Kathleen Adams, vice presidentg Rachel Foltz, secretary: Ellen Kittrell, treasurerg Dorothy Ewing, music chairman: Helen Belt, program chairmang Ruth Walker, service chairman, and Doris Buss, finance chairman. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth and Miss Thglma Hall are sponsors of the organization. Mendy Having lived to a ripe old age, I find pleasu1'e in remembering the joys of my childhood. One of my dearest memories is of the tiny old woman who kept the candy shop on Main Street. All the children in my home town bought their candy at Mrs. Mendenhall's. We never dignified her with so formal a nameg to young and old she was merely Mendy . It was in her tiny store that we spent the pennies and nickels begged from indulgent fathers, and there the older women gathered around the coal stove for a Saturday afternoon chat. A low scarred bench stood before the glass counter that held the tempting sweets. Grayhaired men often watched us climb up on the bench and told us they, too, had stood on that bench while deciding such momentous questions as to whether to buy licorice or lemon drops. It was hard to go past Mendy's without buying something. On Sunday she kept careful watch lest some of us spend our Sunday School collection in the wrong place. Mendy was always there, for she lived in a room behind the shop and never went farther away than across the sidewalk. When she became too ill to wait on customers we lost our taste for candy. After her death the shop remained unchanged for a time. The peppermint jar still stood in the center of the show window, flanked by the jars of red-hots and peanuts. Recently a fruit and vegetable store has begun business in Mendy's old building, and sweet potat- oes replace the chocolate and gum. It makes me wonder if the children of today enjoy the candy they buy at the grocery store as much as we enjoyed that we bought at Mendy's. -Frances Gordon PAGE 25 Tigers Win Conference Vjctorjes OACH Harry Skornia, of Michigan State, brought the Tigers fiom the underbrush in the 1935 football season. Conference victor- ies crowned its efforts for the first time since 1931. The team defeated two conference oppon- ents. The football squad was large and looked like conference champions until many of the men quit school, leaving the squad weak. The remainder who stayed out had what it takes, and were deter- mined to cariy the Orange and Black to victory. The Tigers began the season by journeying to Independence. They ran up against a large and fast team, and here they were handed their first defeat. A bad break came in the last minutes of play when the Bengals punted from their 6- yard line to the Independence 37-yard line, and the Pirate quarterback carried the ball back around the entire Juco team for a touchdown. The game ended 7-0. El Dorado entertained next. Here the Tigers were unorganized. They met a good team and were defeated again, this time by a 23-0 count. The following week, in the first home game of the season, the Tigers met a large team from Coffeyville. The Jucoys offense couldn't penetrate the Red Ravens' defense and the team went down again on the short end of a 14-O score. The boys put up a hard fight and showed that Ark City did have a football team. During the fourth week the team seemed to have the fighting spirit that they had lacked the preceding weeks of practice. Friday rolled around and as they went into the dressing room to get their final instructions from Skornia, they were all talking about winning from Parsons. The coach gave them an inspiring talk, and when they came out on the field they had blood in their eyes. One could tell from the start that the team had more fight than they ever had before. The Tigers carried the ball over for their first touch- down in the second quarter and missed another by a few inches. The team again carried the ball over for the final counter in the third quarter, I lllli 1 5 ll lllli HM' flu I pg W 4 PAGE 26 making the score 12-6, where it 1'emained for the rest of the game. This marked the first con- ference win in four years. The next week was vacant.'7 It looked as though no one cared the following week because of a non-conference game. The Tigers journeyed to Tonkawa, where they suffered their worst de- feat of the season, 33-6. In the next tilt the Tigers played the confer- ence champions from Fort Scott. The team put up a stiff fight at the start of the game, and it looked as though there would be an upset. Al- though Fort Scott sent in several substitutes, it didnt seem to weaken their team. Coach Skornia didn't have many substitutes, and Fort Scott soon wore the local gridmen down, and defeated them 111-O. The season's final game came November 19, with Hutchinson. Two weeks before, the Hutch- inson Leam had held the Fort Scott team to an 8-6 count. The two teams marched out on the field, and f1'o1n the starting whistle it was a fight all the way. One team got a break, then the other. Arkansas City's big break came in the third quarter when Gann intercepted a pass, and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. So the game ended 6-O-the Tigers' second win of the season. The boys who dese1've credit are: John Gann, right end, Ralph Waldeck, right tackle, Herbert Glasgow, left guard, Dan Marks, left tackle, Vic- tor Gillespie, left end, Donald Evans, quarter- back, Troy Quinton, half back, Paul Wifineinger, tackle, Dale Davis, end, Karl Perry, guard, Robert Randall, end, Richard Teehee, half back, Jeriy Wees, guard, Selby Funk, guard, Gail Rutter, center, Curtis McLaughlin, back, Harold Schwartzendruber, end and back, George Miller, quarterback, Cail Utt, back, George LeUnes, back, Hampton Barton, guard, Carroll Adams, back, Howard Frambers, center, Garth Snodgrass, quarterback, Millard White, tackle, and Lyndon Symes, center. At the end of the season the boys convened in a post-mortem council and selected Herbert Glasgow, regular guard and two letter man, as honorary captain of the 1935 team. Graduation will be lenient on the roll of men taken from the ranks of the Orange and Black this year. Only th1'ee players will have to go by this route. although all of them drew regular starting berths. They are Captain Herbert Glas- gow, Gail Rutter, and Selby Funk. At least nine lettermen from this season's squad and possibly three more from last years team a1'e slated to re- turn for action next year, which should form the nucleus for fairly good prospects. gg! 1.4 w TOP ROW, Left to right: Carl Utt, Gail Rutter, Daniel C.

And the ball is brought back, only to go again. A simple process, so simple in fact that the Arkansas City basketball team employed it as the potent weapon in dealing out defeat to every team in the conference, placing them as a leading contender in the run for championship honors. The season started successfully, for after an exciting game, the local squad nosed out a 36-28 victory over St. Johns. The following week the St. Johns quintet played a return engagement, and a much improved college ball club easily defeated them 50-31. The Tigers went to Tonkawa with a revised line-up and defeated the Mavericks 51-28. Coach Daniel C. Stark had built up a strong offensive five, and when Friend's University came down to Ark City for the next practice game, they wcnt home the losers. The score was 48-26. The first conference game was with the El Dor- ado five. After trailing most of the way, the Tigers forged ahead in the last few minutes of play and finished with a 44-42 victory. The team then traveled to Independence, where they easily won their second conference encounter by a 44-26 score. The local quintet stepped out of the league competition to play the Tonkawa iive on the local court and again won by a 50-26 count. Seven straight wins were now recorded for the Arkan- sas City team. The next Week the Tigers went to Hutchinson for their third conference tilt. There in a hard- fought game in two overtime periods, they were handed their first defeat of the season. The final score was 45-48. Coffeyville was the next opponent. So far it was undefeated, but the Bengal cagesters turned the Ravens back with a sco1'e of 26-23. On the follow- ing night the Tigers barely nosed out a 52-47 victory over a strong Iola team. The next game for the Arkansas City quintet was played on the home court. Here they again left Independence on the short end of the score with a count of 47-32. On the following week-end the college team journeyed to Western Kansas for two conference games. They emerged with a 34-26 victory over the Dodge City quintet, and on the following night they easily defeated Garden City, 42-23. Facing one of the hardest tests of the season, the Tigers went to El Dorado February 4. After QCO-ntinued on Page 287 PAGE 27 Individual Choice Consideredin Gym HIS year the physical education department has attempted to make the class work more enjoyable for all students. Miss Edith Davis, Women's physical education instructor, has init- iated a plan by which each girl may enjoy the sport which she likes best. Ride teams were organized this year. These groups met once a week for instruction, the lessen taking the place of one regular class period. Some of the girls chose to do both the rifle and the regular gymnastic work. Volley ball was played at the beginning of the year. At the end of the season, teams were organ- ized, and intramural competition was carried on. Those girls who were particularly interested in dancing were given the opportunity to take part in dances in the Arkalalah Coronation. the opera, and the vaiious entertainments during the year. Much time is devoted to playing tennis. When the weather is fit, many girls play during their regular class periods. There are usually two tournaments held each year. The winners of these tournaments make up the girl's tennis teams. Basketball is the mid-winter sport. All girls are required to learn to play. Each class is divided into teams, which compete with each other. The captains of these teams are Rachel Foltz, Edith Mellick, Mrs. Daisy Mills, Betty McHenry, Kath- ryn Messner. Ermal Burnett, Roberta Bowen, and Marguerite Clark. The activity of the gym class does not consist only of playing games. Exercises to improve pos- ture are taken, and when the Weather is nice, the girls take hikes. Those girls who are physically unable to do gymnastic work have a class in body mechanics instead. The care of the body is studied in this class. The junior college physical education depart- ment has had a great deal of success with its new program this year. Every girl has been given the opportunity to take part in the things she enjoys most, and also to lea1'n more about the sports in which she has no special skill. Many Play Ping Pong Ping pong has been a great sport this year. This sport has offered relaxation from studies and classroom activities to many students who consider it an interesting and worthwhile indoor sport. To become an expert at this game requires a knowledge of how the game should be played, continued practice, and a keen eye. VVith these requirments fulfilled, it may be played with light- ning speed, for it is one of the world's fastest sports. Several tournaments have been played this year at the Y. M. C. A. building, with many students participating. The winner of this year's junior college ping pong tournament was Spencer Turner. The runner-up was Willie Gillilland. Those who entered the tournament were Ches- ter Steffens, Arthur Sanderson, Raymond Lan- caster, Fritz Shea, Howard Agnew, Charles Evans, Willard Kinslow, Robert Fitch, Prince Eckley, Will Woodman, Willie Gilliland, and Spen- cer Turner. PAGE 28 Cage Season Is a Success lContinued from Page 275 trailing 15-17 at the half, the Ark defense tight- ened, and the local boys triumphed by a score of 31-24, though it cost Alexander a front tooth. Parsons Junior College, the only undefeated team in the conference, lost when the Arks sent the dope bucket spinning in a 46-31 victory. This left Arkansas City on top of the conference with a list of eight wins and one loss. In the fifth game of a period of eight days, the Orange and Black sharp-shooters found their off- ensive weapons dulled by a steady taxing sched- ule. This gave a steady Coffeyville five opportunity to slip in and drop the Tigers by a 29-23 count. Showing signs of coming back the Bengals took the floor in the folowing week and enjoyed a pleasant evening in revenge by administering a 49--13 defeat to Hutchinson, and then beat Dodge City, 54-40. As we go to press, Ark City is first place in the conference loop with a record of ten victories against two reversals. One conference game re- mains to climax a successful season. j uoos Ha Vo Vario OLLEGE social activities for the year be- gan with the junior college reception, October 3. This is an annual afair given by the fac- ulty for the students with the purpose of making the teachers and students better acquainted. One of the outstanding features of the evening was an extra edited for the occasion by the journalism class. The paper was made up of humorous bits of scandal about different members of the faculty and student body, and also contained the program for the evening. Another feature which provided much amusement was a small card, pinned on the back of each person present, on which other persons wrote their first im- pressions of the bearer of the card. Of course, nobody knew what information he was revealing about himself until he was permitted to remove this paper from his back after the party. After informal activities, refreshments were served in the junior high school gym, where the program was given. C. E. St. John, superintendent of city schools, welcomed the students to the junior college. Other speeches of welcome were made by Harry Skornia and Daniel C. Stark. Kenneth Huff and Prince Eckley presented a skit, and a quartet composed of John Morris, Kenneth Franklin, Ross Kinnamon, and Harry Colopy en- tertained. Concluding the program, Bill Hamilton introduced the new students. The freshman class party was distinctly dif- ferent from the other parties this year. It was in the form of a tea, and was held December 3. The club room was made into- a lovely tea room, and Miss Sleeth's room was attractively decor- ated with tapestries and candles for the occasion. A fireplace lighted with imitation logs burned brightly at one end of the room. A nicely decorated serving table stood in the middle of the room. us Social Affairs Mable Baird, Gertrude Elliot, Lorene Myers, Helen Betty Martin, Roberta Bowen, Marguerite Clark, and Eleanor Stanton presided at the urns. The program for the tea consisted of several musical selections. Analee Hill sang a vocal solo: Harry Colopy and Ross Kinnamon played a violin and mandolin duetg Mary Caine and Mary Mc- Donough played a piano duetg and Margaret Seal and Nina Maurine Davis sang a vocal duet. Throu- ghout the evening a string trio composed of Mary Caine, Robertha Clack, Harry Colopy, and James Gould played several selections. On December 4. the sophomores had their party. This party was held in the club room and in the gym. Ping pong and various card games were played during the evening. Marian Getter was the head of the committee for the affair. Dora Gillig was in charge of the food, and Bill Hamil- ton, of the entertainment. Miss Thelma Hall was the sponsor of the committee. Tigerama, the annual junior college reception for the seniors of Arkansas City and the neigh- boring towns, is being planned as this book goes to press. Every year, Tigerama becomes bigger and better, and more towns are represented. Geuda Springs, Sedan, Cedar Vale, Chilocco, Harper, Grainola, South Haven, Oxford, Newkirk, and Wellington are among the towns invited to the reception this year. This reception is given each year to acquaint the seniors with the activities of the junior college, and to encourage students from neighboring towns to attend our school. Tigerama has become a tradition, and it is always looked forward to by students. The social committee for this year was headed by Marian Getter. Other members are Dora Gillig, Bill Hamilton, Roberta Bowen, and Earl Volkland. juoo-ods Learn Housowifoly Skills HAT the Juco-ed of 1936 should be well trained in the housewifely virtues, is the belief of the home economics department. Miss Esther Denton, home economics instructor, is sparing no effort to make good cooks, fine seamstresses, and homemaking artists from the raw material her students offer. In the foods class, the girls have learned pract- ical ways of preparing food that will tickle the appetites of their prospective husbands. They learn how to plan, prepare, and serve meals. Miss Denton has endeavored in the elementary design class to teach students to combine color in harmonizing sequence-and not to use raspberry lipstick with o1'ange rouge, or other non-harmon- izing colors. Clothing students have studied the selection and purchase of feminine wearing apparel. They learn how to select textile fabrics, how to buy econom- ically and how to plan a family budget. Girls in the home furnishing class have learned the way to furnish a home attractively, how to develop a home-like atmosphere, and how to solve many problems that confront a modern home- maker each day. PAGE 29 'Pepper Box' Published by College The Arkansas City Junior College was organ- ized in the fall of 1922. A comparison of the early curricula with our present extensive system proves interesting. The college started with a total of 35 courses taught by 8 teachers. Now we have approxomately 63, offered by 18 faculty members. According to the Junior College Bulletin of 1924-25, the oldest on file, there were a few courses offered which were not listed in the 1935- 36 edition. Comparative anatomy, exposition, de- scription and narration, Latin, Spanish, and solid geometry have been dropped. But against the few which have been discontinued, compare the many that have been added: botany, physiology, the commercial courses, engineering drawing courses, home economics courses, physics, ethics, German, and journalism. Before the journalism departments of the high school and junior college combined to edit The Ark Light jointly, the college published a sep- arate paper called The Pepper Box. The soph- omo1'e annual of the vintage of 1924 was entitled The Pioneer. A significant exerpt is quoted from the above mentioned bulletin: Students failing in fifty per cent of the school work for which they receive grades at the end of the semester are automatic- ally eliminated from the junior college for the suc- ceeding semester. Assembly was held bi-weekly, while now it is held weekly because of its importance in the school routine. Those people who never seem able to attend school consistently would have had an easier time in the good old days. Three absences were allowed in a two-hour course, four in a three-hour course, and six in a five-hour course. The newer policy allows one absence for each semester hour. The college has always had its fair share of honors. The large array of trophies in the office testifies as to the excellence of the school's de- baters and speakers. Juco is noted for its basket- ball teams, and has never failed to supply candidates in all the other fields of endeavor. Auditorium Is Begun The new auditorium-gymnasium now under con- struction is a striking reminder of Arkansas City's traditional progressiveness in the extension of educational facilities. Construction of the building was a result of the federal government's grant of 45 per cent of the total cost in a community project, provided Arkan- sas City would finance the remaining 55 per cent. The issue was placed before the voters of the city. and carried by a majority of 445 votes. The final count was 1329 in favor, and 888 against. The building, to be constructed at a total cost of 5ii180,000, will be located on the northeast corn- er of the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Second Street. It will be 170 feet long by 127 feet wide, with an auditorium 120 feet by 80 feet, capable of seating 4000 people. There will be balconies on three sides to accommodate about half of the total capacity. Movable chairs are to be placed on the main floor so that it may be easily cleared for athletic events. A stage will be constructed at one end to accommodate any type of production. For several years the entire community has felt the need of such an auditorium, and no element has felt it more keenly than educational interests. It is a project of which Arkansas Citians are just- ly proud. PAGE 30 Indian Students Enroll A group of former Chilocco students are now attending junior college. They are the first who have ever represented this Indian School in our college. Selected from graduating classes because of outstanding character and scholastic ability, they were given working scholarships by the government under supervision of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, in Washington D. C. Eight in number when the first semester began, only Margaret Howe, Betty McHenry, Margue- rite Clark, Clifford Crews and Richard Teehee re- main. Esther Johnson, John Terrell and Edward Fritz have dropped from the roster because of un- avoidable circumstances. Working before and after school at Chilocco, these students make the trip to and from school by bus. Besides these, five former stars in athletics at Chilocco accepted the C.S.E.P. plan of attending junior college. These boys were Charles Nar- comey, Troy Quinton, Curtis McLaughlin, Dan Marks, and John Gann. Man jueos Have Part-Time jobs OR the past three yzars, the Arkansas City Junior College has been able to secure a place upon the federal student aid program. This is familiarly known as the C.S.E.P., although it is now properly the N.Y.A., or National Youth Administration, operating in conjunction with the Works Progress Administration. During the current year this type of employ'- meut has enabled about 40 students to attend college who would not have been able to do so otherwise. In order to obtain a place on this program, the college desiring aid must promise to provide the necessary work, and must also agree that such work will not replace any regular employee. The student desiring aid must be able to show that he can not attend college without assistance. and he must keep his grade up to a standard in a minimum number of hours. Our local organization is in keeping with the spirit of the N.Y.A. Its employees are listed as performing tasks in extra janitorial work, re- novating and repairing furniture, landscaping. case work, extra clerical and office work, and one student is assigned to take care of all the time- reports and printed forms which must be sent to the State. Fourteen girls have employment this year under the N. Y. A., doing clerical work of various kinds. The number of hours allotted to each girl averages 44 hours per month, although the num- ber varies from 13 to 42 hours. Several girls were appointed as assistants to certain faculty members, helping to grade papers and caring for the instructors' correspondence. Four girls are employed in the college and high school offices. Two work in the mental measure- ments office, and one is assigned to work at one of the ward schools. Others do general supply work, typing. mimeographing, keeping records, and as- sist in the library. Thirty cents an hour is allowed for this type of work, making the checks run from 33.90 to 512.60 each month. The boys who work under the N. Y. A. set-up are under the direction of A. L. Curry, Director of Athletics, and his student assistant, Arthur Alexander. They do various kinds of work at the football field, such as cutting the grass, putting lime on the field, and being at the gates during the games. The boys work from 25 to 66 hours a ironth. Approximately three-fifths of the mem- bers of our student body earn part, or all of their way through the school. Of those who do not earn their ovvn ironey for school, there are few who do not do odd jobs for much of their spending money. The girls care for children and do housework, and the boys mow lawns, wash cars, and do other jobs of this type. The stores of the city take care of the largest number of those who are working. Grocery stores employ about 15, and the remainder of the stores, including drug, department, and ten-cent stores draw about twenty-five students. The favorite job of the women seems to be that of working in private homes, for it draws the largest number of them, a total of 15. Other Junior college students are employed by newspapers, service stations, theaters, cream- eries, funeral homes, an electric company, cafes, farms, and contractors. Several students who live at Chilocco are em- ployed there. juco Orchestra Includes Fourteen A. E. SAN ROMANI Director of Instrumental Music The college orchestra meets twice a week under the direction of A. E. San Romani. The orchestra first made its appearance with an especially arranged Haydn program in the college assembly. Since then it has marlc many successful and enioyable appearances. The orchestra, working with the salon orchestra of the high school, played for the annual perfor- mance of the t'Messiah , the public speaking play, and the high school-college opera, Oh Doctor! In the spring the college chotal group and the orchestra plan to give the Rose Maiden, a can- tata by Frederick H. Cowen. The personnel of the orchestra includes James Gould, Kenneth Franklin, Harry Colopy, Mary Ellen Carlisle, Ruth Walker, Kenneth Curfman, Fern VVarren, Ruth Knedler, Helen Belt, Donald Keel, Selby Funk, Mary Genevieve McDonough, Gertrude Elliott, and A.
