These Two Sophs Get Misty Eyed, School started on September 6 and what fun it was to watch new, green, freshmen trying to set- tleldown to college life. Since I was a sophomore and had had a year's previous experience in Juco, I was asked many questions: What subject is the easier? Is Mr. or Miss So-and-So a tough tea- cher? , Is it true when you don't have a class you don't have to stay in school? , and many other questions concerning their start in college 1 e. The first few weeks were very busy getting settled to studying, meeting new students, and getting acquainted with new teachers. Football season started off successfully and the only thing I regret is that we didn't beat Fort Scott. Peanuts Aitson, Danny Bottero, Joe ' X X Q if W-iiffie w X N i' W' 5 - is , ...J -1 - ,, u gl .2 , Manotwa, and Shorty Long will always be re- membered for their excellent playing. The college band was organized this year- and what swing they do give out ,-especially when Chub williams beats that drum. College socials prove a great deal of fun-and help us to forget our lessons. Dancing, bridge, Chinese checkers, shuffle board and other games are enjoyed by all. The life of a sophomore is not a hard one, but by the time you have become a second year college student you begin to realize that college is not all play, and some really hard work goes with it Many interesting subjects are offered for sophomores Psychology, taught by Miss Thelma Hall, is a very interesting subject. In this class you learn of inductive and deduc- tive thinking, such as,- It is raining outside , or It isn't raining outside . You look outside and it isn't raining so the only alternative left is that it is raining outside, so it is raining. Silly, isn't it? But, that is how it works. Then there is Public Speaking from Miss Pauline Sleeth. Poetry, oratory and speech in gen- eral are thoroughly studied. Other interesting subjects are also available for students. They tell me that anything from Mr. Ruff is not only Ruff but also is a lot of fun. Life in the Junior College is not that of life in a large University, but still many things hap- pen to make us laugh, such as Mr. Stark's pep talks in chapel. And so my sophomore life is about to end- - Graduation is drawing near and it will leave with it fond memoirs of A. C. J. C. -Bette Hamilton Awake! eaglet, your father has flown, your mother has left her nest. Awake, little eagle! Let your proud eye search the plains of the east, the crags of the west. Try your cruel beak on the jagged rocksg let the air feel your wings are not weak. No more will a stern eye guard as you soar and Wheel. Test the day's length. Power is your cunning, need your strength. Strike the stag running in terror. The wild, mountain stream will furnish a feast- no carrion beast, no bone picked clean! Akake! eaglet. The lessons are doneg your learning is just begun. Build your nest in clean, cold air. The scream of the hare, the moan of the fox will gladden you: kill when you must. kill and eat when the morning is upg but soar When the western sun leaves the low-country black, soar when the warm up-breath of your yet wild Wings back. Thunder is a gentle voice, lightning a lamp in the dark. . . never turn, never cringeg the mountain storm will merely wash you clean! Fly high, high when the raven-flock worries you. Skirt the forest fringe, refuse the swamp, sleep out the night, sweep boldly into the morning spark! The Staff Editor . . . . Verne Stacy Photography . .

But like all women, she has her weak- er moments. Let me tell you about the little bat- tle she and Master Vernon Overstreet staged on a lonely sandbar in the Arkansas River: E It looks as though we might have a bud- ding song writer in our midst. Charlotte HuEman has established connections that may enable her to publish a song she wrote this year. We believe it will be a hit if it is published and we know because we have heard it. It is plenty swingy. It is hard for an amateur to break into Tinpan Alley, but a song like this one is hard to keep out. Quick as a flash, Vern grabbed a hand full of sand and threw it with all of his might. The lovely castle was a complete ruin. The brute! Not being content to throw sand, Master Vern caught Miss Mary and gave her a sound paddling. As all little children do, Miss Mary threw sand in Vern's eyes. Crying, I'm going to tell my mam- ma on you !, he threw sand in her syes. After a certain amount of this diversion, they quieted down to an uneventful evening of pouting. It looks like love to us. l I'll bet that none of you girls can guess who the dapper football star is that is very much en- amored of Betty Tolles, the high school belle. He doesn't seem to be having a great deal of luck, with competition from Wellington as Well as Ark City. Don't let it bother you, boy. There are plenty of women in this world-especially around Frontenac. l It was a lovely day in April, the sun was shining and the birds were singing and love was in bloom. Master Vernon and Little Miss Mary were peacefully building castles in the sand. Miss Mary grew so bold as to throw sand on little Vernon's castle, and tear it all down. So sad! I I If some young author would like to write a story of young love in its screwiest form, we sug- gest that he shadow the college Locker hangers Brigade. I This column extends to Elaine Vanskike its deepest regrets and fullest sympathy. According to the latest report from the grapevine, she is trailing in the race for Leo fMusclesJ Thieme by about two laps. At the start she leaped away to an impressive lead but in the last few days Lorene Boggs, a high school dark horse has taken the lead. Also from the same report we hear that the exotic Miss Boggs is making no bones about it- she is really in the race. The romantic letter that Page 12 she wrote Leo was just too touching. Such devo- tion is truly rare. - l Oh, for the life of a sophomore! Wasn't it only,the other day that Milton Getter re- fused to go on a backward picnic because the dizzy dame wouldn't guy him a case ofl-? I hope I may be the first to tell the real rea- son for the lucky-no I won't call it a victory- of the sophomores over the frosh in the annual football game the other day. It is plain to see that the frosh could have easily won had Riley Fisher, the Greasy Ghost of the Greenies, been in there to pin back the collective ears of Messrs. Long, Aitson, Mueller, Rose, etc., etal. A few of Fisher's crushing drives into the line and the score would have been something like 56-6 for the frosh. I How those sophies did cry and crab when the .frosh savagely smashed over their lone tally. Alexander was holding! - Dunlap slugged me, Coach! - Oh, Coach, he bit me! -These were the cries that fthe big sophomores gave out. Such babies! I Just a short note to a certain so-called columnist in the Ark Light: D. L.-I want you to know that I am well aware that I am being shadowed. I know that it is common for inferior writers to follow the greats to pick up the few crumbs we let fall from our fingers, and to steal if possible a few journa- listic gems from the copy basket. I feel that it is my duty to warn both of my readers of the slimy things that you are dong. Also what is worse, if possible, you are deliberately lying about the people mentioned in your strip. Signed B.C. Football Prospects Good For Fall Richard Nolan, better known as Dick , took over the reins as football mentor at Arkansas City junior college three years ago, and has pro- duced what fans considered one of the best teams in the Kansas junior college circuit. Well known for his motto of being prepared , Coach Nolan has in stock for the gridiron fans next year possibilities of a successful season. With probably forty football men reporting, Nolan will have some choice of material. Starting at center, he will have his pick of co-captain Don Lancaster, Fred Dittman, and Warren Harding, with a posibility of another center developing later on. At the guard positions will be Lyle Tur- ner and George Dunlap, or John Quinn, Max Sheehey, Ellis Marcy, and Riley Fisher. Holding down the tackle positions will be Calvin Alexander, Arthur Johnson, Duane Walker, or Carl Kuntz. The wing positions will be controlled by co-Captain Robert Layden, Leo V. Thieme, Jess Underwood, and Fred Duncan. The backfield will be composed of George Seipp, Jim Tully, Ben Riffel, and Dino Spigarelli, with Hugh Turman and Kirby Jackson furnishing the speed. '
