Public Spealcing . . . The junior college public speaking department, under the able leadership of Miss Pauline B. Sleeth, has worked hard and accomplished much in bringing the name of Arkansas City Junior College into the spotlight. Besides providing plays for the junior college assemblies and civic organizations, this depart- ment also furnishes many programs for various organizations in the country schools. The major project of this class is the annual junior college play which is always looked for- ward to by both students and townspeople. It has been the custom in the past to give this play as a lyceum number at Cedarvale. Plans are also being made this year for guest appearances at Chorus . . . Every kind of music is sung by the choir--oper- atic, classical, popular, oratorio and sacred,-- un- der the direction of Charles L. Hinchee. This year four numbers arranged by Noble Cain were added to the college repetoire and the group's appear- ances in assembly were eagery awaited. As in the past 'live years, the chorus sung in the annual presentation of the Messiah , and also The Gilbert and Sullivan opera, The Gondoliers , the annual musical oitering, had Nina Maurine Davis, Albert Lambert, Margaret Seal, Virginia Holman, Winfred Barker, Captola Shelhame1', and Robert Clark as leads from the junior college, and proved to be very entertaining. A. E. San Roniani directed the orchestra for the production Winlielcl and Wichita. For social purposes this department has car- ried on the plan of Dinner Club that was started several years ago. This club meets once a month for dinner and a program is furnished by the dif- ferent members of the class. Officers of the class are Analee Hill, president, Ruth Knedler, vice- president, Maxine Palmer, secretary and Lura Fitzgerald. treasurer. and Miss Edith Joyce Davis was in charge of the dance numbers.

PAGE HOME ECONOMICS. . . In order that the Juco-eds of 1937 may meet the demands of a modern husband, Miss Esther Denton, home economics instructor, is wasting no effort to make good cooks, fine seamstresses, and conscientious homemaking artists from the raw material her students offer. In the foods class, the girls have learned prac- tical ways of preparing food that will tickle the appetites of their prospective husbands and also the art of planning, preparing, and serving meals. The elementary design class is used primarily to teach the students good color combinations and good designs. 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. The girls project in the home furnishing class is built around the construction of a dream home having a dream family, furnishing the home, attractively and developing a homelike atmos- phere. N.Y.A... For the past four years, the Arkansas City Junior College has been able to secure federal aid for the students who are not otherwise financially able to attend. Formally the fund was known as the College Student Emergency Program, but this year it is part of the nation-wide National Youth Administration. There are approximately fifty-five students attending the college this year who are paying their way by stenographical work in the various offices of the different schools or by janitor or police work at games. Each of the students is paid thirty cents an hour, but the number of hours he works is determined by his needs. Besides those on N. Y. A., many of the students work at part-time jobs to pay their expenses. Some clerk in the various downtown stores, at service stations and on newspaper routes. Some of the girls do housework in exchange for their room and board, and some boys work in the res- taurants for their board. A close survey would show that on the whole, the students of Arkansas City Junior College really earn their education. 22 ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS . . . According to the custom, this year's chapel programs have been freely contributed to by tal- ented members of the student body and also en- livened by the appearances of many traveling en- tertainers and distinguished guests that have been passing through this city. Students are re- quired to attend the assemblies held each Thurs- day at eleven o'clock. General assemblies included the pep meetings, group singing, individual ap- pearances of students, and members of the Public Speaking and Music departments and addresses b y lo c al ministers. Outstanding p 1' 0 gr a m s included the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies, the address by Dean E.A. Funk, the amateur contest, and the program by the junior college choir. Special assemblies are called when the dean is able to secure as guest artist some entertainer or important speaker from outside the city. It was through this method that an interesting lecture on excavations in Palestine and Africa was given by a visiting archeologist. One of the outstanding visitors of the year was Archie San Romani, Olympic track star and nephew of the head of our instrumental music department, who spoke to 2,000 students of the local school system. A third guest speaker was Miss Rose Cologne who wittily spoke to the college in February. Plans for the chapel programs were made by a committee chosen by the student council. Mem- bers this year included Gladys Cowen, first sem- ester chairman, Analee Hill, Emily Jane Yount, Willis Payton and Erle Volkland. Y.M.C.A.... Due to an insistent demand among the men students, Y. M. C. A. was instituted in the college this year with M. K. Snyder, and K. R. Galle as sponsor and advisor. Together with the Y. W. they enjoyed a party in January and have been fortunate in having prominent civic leaders as their guest speakers. Sam Maier, the president, entertained with a covered dish dinner at his home during March. About 20 boys are members of the association. Officers are Sam Maier, president, Albert Lam- bert, vice-president, Carl Utt. secretary, and Erle Volkland, student council representative.
