Social Functions Dotting the social calendar at irregular inter- vals are the informal functions that occur with unpredictable frequency throughout the year. These parties have taken a new trend this year. Formerly dancing was not included, but this year the officers of the two classes, working together with the help of the student body's vote of ap- proval, were able to obtain this activity for the first time in the history of the Arkansas City Junior College. This long desired attraction has not only added to the pleasure of these parties but it has also .decreased the work of the various committees and bids fair to become a tradition to which the classes of '37-'38 can proudly point as their contribution to the social life of the school. As usual, the opening reception, which was attended by a large number of the student body, headed the schedule this year, and the friend- making influence of this occasion was far-reach- ing and vitally instrumental in helping the out-of- town students feel at home. Above all others, this occasion imparts a lasting effect which tends to govern the success of the later social functions. Aside from the reception, there are three other fixed social activities which brighten the program. In April the annual Juco dinner is given. This is a joint class banquet followed by an appro- priate program and informal party. The height of social activities is reached in May when classes are dismissed for a half a day and everyone goes picnicking. This holiday features good eats, boist- erous games and all around good times of the typical outing and serves as a safety valve for the hard working students' pent-up energy. Beautiful April also marks the most formal occasion on the social calendar-the Tigerama. This occasion serves as an introduction of the Arkansas City Junior College to its prospective freshman class. Students from near-by cities also attend this affair, which features a stage per- formance by members of the student body and will be followed this year by a party. These, with several other parties throughout the year, complete the calendar. Will Etta Long was chairman of the social committee. Chaperones were members of the faculty, the Board of Edu- cation, and parents of the students. PAGE 30 MIDNIGHT SILENCE Silence! ---- Midnight ---- Silence ---- And that last crisp leaf falls, Falls lightly from the tree. It skims across the road To join its fellows -EE And Autumn's work is finished In the silencal- In the night. Silence! ---- Midnight ---- Silence ---- Then lazily fall flakes A warning of the winter-- And wild geese flying low Chant requiem, For Autumn now is ended In the silence w--- In the night. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth I feel so many things That touch with fragile hands My hearty And tho' I mix my colors up With green for blue Sometimes, I know the flaming glory Of a red-bird's wing And the stark silhouette Of trees against a storm. -Mary Fredonia Harvey EDITORIAL STAFF Editor ..,. , .... .,..... .

Student Council. . . The student council of the Arkansas City Junior College works as the center of Juco activities. From time to time throughout the year, the or- ganization selects the various committees ot the student body. lt is the duty of each student coun- cil member to know these people whom they ap- point and to be able to vote intelligently when one is to be chosen. 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 begin- ning of the year. Through the cooperation of the various representatives, the entire student body and each organization has a voice in the govern- ment of the school. This effective 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. Kenneth Curtman is president, Ruth Knedler and Samuel Maier, representatives of the sopho- more classg Virginia Vogel and Raymond Ausmus of the freshman class, Marjorie Anne Swinney of the Y. W. C. A. , Erle Volkland of the Y. M. C. A. and Mary Barkley of the Pep Club. Assistant Dean K. R. Galle is sponsor and ad- visor of the group. Debate .... For this season the debate question was Re- solved, that Congress should be empowered to tix minimum wages and maximum hours tor in- dustry and it proved to be an ideal one, since it is at the present time an issue of national importance. Among the tournaments on the schedule for this season were the Southwestern tournament at Winlield in December, an invitational speech meet at Hutchinson and also the Phi Rho Pi tournament there the latter part of February and the district meet at St. .lohn's College in March. Junior college debaters also acted as host to teams from junior colleges at the debate insti- tute held here in November during which the neighboring cities participated in practice debates and heard helpful lectures. The local team jour- neyed to Winfield, El Dorado and Tonkawa dur- ing the season for practice meets. Those who took part in debate this year were Gladys Cowen, Helen Ward, Victor Bryant, Ever- ett Garner, Robert Giboney, Francis Sommers, Sam Maier, Luther Parman, Harold Harris and George Reynolds. Murrel K. Snyder was coach. PAGE 29
