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.

ATHLETICS FOOTBALL . . . The year 1936 found the import market in athletes brisk, but also found A. C. J. C. not in extensive buying operationsg therefore the fail- ure of Coach Dick Nolan to produce a champion- ship team could not be blamed on an inferior team, but on a team not so greatly improved by outside recruits as some others in the Kansas Junior College Conference. Authoritative observ- ers believe that any top rank Kansas juco team would be a good match for many a larger, four year institution. Needed are no excuses for the '36 Tigers. Their record of 2 wins, 2 ties and 2 losses is not to be ridiculed. Returning from last year's team were only seven letterman, while the '37 squad will have eleven A winners. Placed on the second all state team was center, Hinesg mentioned also were Owens and Galyardt, Other outstanding players were Montgomery, Chambers, Utt, Evans, Miller and Griffith who played their last year of juco football. After defeating Sterling and El Dorado, the Tigers met the touted Coffeyville Ravens playing before the largest crowd of the season. The Tig- ers held the Ravens to four downs on their one yard line and came back in the second half to completely outplay the heavier Coffeyville team with the game ending scoreless. The following week, the Tigers journeyed to Parsons for a bitterly fought game that ended 7-7. Early in the second quarter Owen took a lateral from Miller and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. He also converted for the extra point. In the second half the Cardinals came back with a frantic passing attack to tie the score. In the closing seconds of play, Montgomery took a fift- een yard pass from Chambers and ran the remain- ing forty yards for a touchdown. Due to off sides. the play was declared void. The highly rated Hutchinson Blue Dragons provided too much opposition for the Tigers in their next battle for, after a bitter fight, the game ended 14-13, in favor of the Dragons. Again in this game the Tigers had a fifty yard touchdown called back which proved to be the margin of dif- ference between the two teams. In the game following with Tonkawa, the Tigers were de- feated 12-7, due to the ineligibility of two of their ace backs. And then-Fort Scott, 20, A. C. 3, and take us away from that field of Greyhounds! PAGE 24 BASKETBALL .. . Although the 1936-37 season was less pros- perons in the win column, than the conference champs of the preceding year, it was the general opinion of coaches and sport scribes over the state that the team was par to the 36 edition of the Tigers. The poor record was due largely, perhaps, to the presence of more outstanding teams in the circuit than ever before in the history of Kansas Junior College Conference. All of the games were lost by small margins and due to the breaks of the games and an inexperienced squad, the Tigers were unable to resume their winning jaunt of the previous year. Outstanding players were Clark, Colopy, Gilli- land, Axlev. Stelfens, Dohrer and Montgomery. Other prominent men were Waldeck, Abernathy, Maier, Kessinger. Owen, Rambo, Miller, Randall, Holis and Bob Clark. Coach Dan Stark stated that with five lettermen returning, prospects are bright for a winning U37-38 edition of the Tigers. GOLF and TENNIS. . . Plans are being made for golf and tennis teams to represent the school during the spring months at surrounding tournaments. Of the golfers, it is thought Duane Crill and Donald Dohrer will tra- vel for the school and in tennis, the squad will con- tain such players as Dick Howard, George Miller, Bill Burns. Chester Stetfens, and John Burton. Tennis players among the girls include Carol- ine Someriield, Julia Shea, Mary Barkley, Dimple Johnson, Mrs. Dale Hines, Margaret Dixon,Lura Fitzgerald. June Jacobs, Martha McCall, Lucille Sharpe. Madge Hill and Arnell Wallace. PHYSICAL EDUCA TION. .. Behind the scenes of dances successfully ex- ecuted in vaiious operas and productions it might easily be found, on investigation that the hand that nianuvered it was that of Miss Edith Joyce Davis. head of the physical education department. ln addition to dancing, every type of physical exercise is covered in the department. including volley-ball, tennis, basketball, shuifleboard and nuinerous other activities. The schedule for college Includes active exercise and lecture classes and each college girl is required to take one of the two. Plans have been made and routines are now be- ing started for an athletic circus to be held in the spring in the new auditorium. Opportunity is available to the classes for rifle practice and modern dancing.
