Tod Me Some people attract all kinds of things. One day in Algebra, a pussy-cat got interested in Ben Riffle who was sitting in an open window. The inquisitive kitty poked her head in the window, and Ben politely poked it back. But the pussy persisted and didn't take the hint after three or four pushes. So Ben pushed the kitty out again and pulled the window down amid general confusion and laughter only to Gnd that the stubborn cat had stuck her head in again, and was caught by the neck between the sill and the window. Q2 Family worship in our home followed the same plan, morning and evening. First came a song from the metrical version of the Psalms, then a chapter from the Bible, after which we all knelt in prayer. We often sang the song book through on Sabbath afternoons. As a result, before I could read, I knew the words of many of the songs of the church service. One song I especially loved. I always chose it at our songfests. When the superintendent of the Sabbath School announced this song, I would sing heartily as unto the Lord, Bow at the Door. It did not enter my head that any- thing was wrong until one day my sister Etta whispered to me, Don't sing too loud. After that, by careful attention, I discovered that the song is, In Beauty of Holiness, Bow and Adore. -Emma Gotschall Q2 They tell the best one on Angie Bennet. NVhen they were introducing Coach Nolan to thc .Iucos last year, they added a few extra details to his past record, just to make a mo1'e interesting speech. When they announced that he had played on the football team at Sing Sing, Angie opened her eyes wide and asked the girl next to her, Isn't Sing Sing in China? Did you notice how sleepy Lawrence Croon- er Swaim was all first semester 'Y That's not the half of it. At the house where he stayed, the boys had a set of rules. Anyone who broke them was made to donate a nickel to the charity fund. He had particular trouble with the rule forbidding any noise or distur- bance after nine-thirty. His house-mates who were used to hearing him crawl into bed in the early morning hours, cooked up a plot against him. They piled tin pans in front of his door and collected their nickel at about two a. m. every night for a long time. It is said that he finally took to dressing in the kitchen. ii Norco is the small community in which the employees of an oil company live. The houses, all facing the river, are built into rows. The drug store, grocery store and post office were not in what was the precinct of Norco, but were on the other side of the fence which su1'rounds the community. The houses on the front row have a wide swath of green grass separating them from the highway, then is the levee and the old Mississippi. One part of the green is shadowed and cooled by the gnarled, majestic and lovely magnolia trees whose blos- soms have always been my favorites. One after- noon I worked with a pole trying to knock a bud down in orded to put it in water so it would open. When a man succeeded in getting it down for me, a girl friend of mine caught it and refused to give it to me. I never cared much for her after that. The people in Norco are a happy and con- genial group of southerners. They all work for the same companyg they have their own social clubs, and a main club house where dances are given at regular intervals. There is the usu- al amount of gossip and disagreement among them, but no serious trouble arises from it. -Lois Laurent Q2 There are a hundred and one ways to evade a good night kiss, and every smart co-ed knows several of them. But one Jucoette put the col- legiate slant on her evasion. One evening as she stood at the front door with Mott Stuch- lick, she had to think hard and fast. He kept asking her WHY she wouldn't give him that good-night kiss. Now she has never been in an Ethics classroom, but the word Ethics just popped into her head and she blurted out, It's just a little matter of Ethics! Since that night she is rated the Juco author- ity on the subject. PAGE 19

The season opened with only two regulars and four reserves returning. The prospects were not of too great promise, but coach Dick Nolan had twenty-'live freshmen to work with all eager to earn a place on the team, and who were hard workers. The first two weeks were spent on fundamentals and team play. A fairly well grounded team went to Sterling. The Nolanmen took the opening kick off against Sterling and drove sixty-tive yards on a spinner and olf tackle plays mixed with laterals to the 4 yard line where Aitson went over. Aitson's kick was good for a. 7-0 lead. Late in the fourth quarter Bottero intercepted a pass and dashed fifty yards for a touchdown making the final score 13-0. Manatawa, Long, and Hines played well for the Tigers. The next week the Tigers went to Independence to meet the state champs. An early Tiger fumble which the Pirates recovered on the A. C. ten yard line, was converted into a 6-0 lead for the Pirates. ln the third quarter, Pappan lateralled to Bottero for a touchdown which was called back and aided the Pirates to win 6-0. The next week found the Nolanmen at ElDorado where they won a 13-6 victory. Pappan. and Aitson were outstanding in the backfield with Long and Hines and Orin on the line. The Tigers iirst home game was with the powerful Coffeyville Red Ravens. In a sea of mud the Tigers blocked a punt for a touchdown only to have it called back for oifsides. The big game ended 0-0. Aitson's punting and l-lodge's running were high- lights in the lgackfield with Shaffer. Long, and Mueller doing good work in the line. Parsons was host to the Nolanmen in the next battle. ln this game the blocking was splendid and Aitson ran 100 yards and 67 yards for touchdowns. Aitson capped these runs with a double reverse gallop of 20 yards to score his third tally. The game ended 20-13 in favor of the Tigers. Long, Jersche, and Shumpes played splendid ball for the Tigers line and Manatawa in the backfield. The second home engagement found the Hutchinson Blue Dragons as guests. An early Dragon fumble paved the way for a Tiger talley by Manatawa which was proved the margin of victory Davis, Long and Shaffer played fine ball for the Tigers. Tonkawa proved too tough for the Tigers and after twisting the tigers by the tail, sent them home north with an 18-0 defeat. Shaffer played his best game for the Tigers. The high geared Fort Scott crew battled the Tigers all over the field to a 7-7 deadlock. In this game the seven line men played the part of Iron men and battled 60 minutes in the line. Anderson proved his ability with a 70 yard run for a touchdown. Manatawa came through and made the Tigers extra tally. Shumpes and Long were cutitanding. Dodge City found the long trip to A. C. very hard and were stopped 51-0. Manatawa, Banning, Long, ard Hines played good ball. The final gamer was at Iola where the Tigers minus the services of five regulars were beaten 12-0. Stuchlik, Brown, Meuller, and Orin were outstanding. The 1937 season found Coach Nolan's team enjoying the most successful season in a decade at Tiger- ville. Several men proved their ability during the season. Among them were three all- state men: Dale Hines, centerg Melvin Long, guardg and Vernon Aitson, End, and Tiuell Shaffer, end made the all-state second team. Other outstanding players were Orin, Shumpes, Dailey, W'offo1d. Gruber, Jeische, Manatawa, Pappan, Davis, and Hodges. Prospects for the coming year are not too bright since the Tigers lose most of the lfne including Dale Hines, All-state center for two years. Aldo Orin, at guard, and Dailey, guard, Shumpes and Travers. tackles. Long and Aitson are the coming yearls co-cap- tains.
