Vocational Courses lliscussed More vocational work for students was the sub- ject discussed by the Association of Public Junior Colleges, at their meeting held in Topeka, April 26 and 27. The Arkansas City schools were represented by C. E. St John, superintendent of schools, E. A. Funk, principal of the high school and dean of the junior collegeg and K. R. Galle, assistant dean of the junior college. It was pointed out at the meeting that students, upon graduation from high school, are not always offered the vocational courses of their choice and find it difficult to find employment. Proposals, relative to the establishing of a vo- cational course in the junior colleges, were intro- duced. This would offer a reasonably inexpensive chance for the student who wanted to carry on his vocational studies to fill the gap immediately following high school, and at the same time ad- vance himself in his particular career. The state staff of vocational education. C. M. Miller, director of vocational educationg Lester Pollom, superintendent of vocational agricultureg and W. T. Markham, who is in charge of Voca- tional guidance, were present at the meeting to offer their advice on the subject. Dr. G. R. Cush- man, advisor of vocational education in the office of the department of the Interior in Washington D. C. was also present at the meeting. Another meeting will be held October 29 or 30 at which time, Dr. Walter C. Eells, executive sec- retary of the Association of Junior Colleges will discuss terminal education. Already Arkansas City Administrators are planning to introduce as many terminal courses as possible. -.,.-i1tT. Ilehaters Tie for Fourth Arkansas City junior college debaters Edwin Brown and Kenneth Patterson, freshmen both, made marks for themselves this semester in de- bate. On February 2 and 3 the debate team partic- ipated in a 5 state forensic meet at Hutchinson. Out of the forty teams entered only six teams survived the first three rounds of debate without defeat. The Brown-Patterson duo was one of these. They lost their final and only dicision to Hastings, extempore speaking. The team journeyed to Winfield for practice debates with Southwestern College and St. Johns Academy in preparing for the state junior college forensic meet. The state tournament was held at ElDorad0 February 22, 23, and24. TheBrown-Patterson team tied for fourth place with Kansas City. Due credit must be given to M. K. Snyder, juco debate coach, who has directed the efforts of the Tiger arguers for the past two seasons. Ti-.t-1. Prom Defies Weather Despite a sudden return to winter tempera- tures, the annual junior college prom, given by the junior college students for the high school senior class, faculty members, and the board of education on Thursday, April 11, in the auditor- ium, was a thoroughly popular party attended by a gay and colorful crowd. u Music for dancing and entertainment was furn- lshed by Bus Morgan's Varsity Club band. Bridge, pitch, chinese checkers, and shuffleboard were en- joyed by those who did not care to dance. Ping pong tables were set up for those who wanted to play something a bit more strenuous. Although it was very chilly that evening the prom was very well attended. About 400 students, and faculty and school board members partici- pated in the evenings entertainment. Featured on the evening's program were six dances, each followed by tag dances. At intermission K. R. Galle, assistant dean of the junior college, gave the Welcome to Seniors . Bill Moriconi played three accordion solos, Ac- cordion Rhythm , At the Balalaikan, awnd Saint Louis Blues . He dedicated these numbers to pop- ular members of the junior college student body. Audra Green demonstrated her nimble feet, pre- senting two numbers of Tap Rhythm . The Col- lege Trio, composed of Jean Hinchee, Bonnie Jean Smith, and Kenneth Judd, sang two numbers, Give a Little Whistle , and the Isle of May . Gene Waltrip, a member of the Varsity Club Band, gave a lively piano solo arrangement of Kitten on the Keys , and the Varsity Club quar- tet played a special arrangement of Tiger Rag . George Seipp, chairman of the junior college social committee, acted as master of ceremonies. After the intermission refreshments were ser- ved and dancing and games were resumed. The party lasted until 12 o'clock, and was a huge success according to student sponsors of the spring festival. Many said that the success was due to the conscientious efforts of the junior col- lege student council members and social commit- tee under the supervision of Miss Thelma Hall junior college instructor in history and education. Picnic Ends Iuco Year The juco student council and social committee, at the time of ths writing, are planning the annual junior college picnic, usually held during the month of May, two weeks before school is out. The picnic, like the college socials, is paid for out of the junior college activity fund, and is usually held at the Spring Hill municipal park. Featured at the picnics are the softball games between the sophomores and freshman boys, and the volley ball game between the sophomore and freshman girls. The event brings the juco social activities of the year to a happy end, and is especially signifi- cant to the graduating sophomores, as it the final item o their list of junior college social act- ivities

Trackmen Win Many Honors This Year Coach Dan Stark began the track season this year with only six returning Bengal lettermen, Layden, Riffle, Dittman, Overstreet, Turner, and Seipp. This number is comparatively small for a track coach building up a team. Along with these men came Kotzman, Kittrell, Calvin and Clifton Howard, Chapman, Ellis, Young, Rutter, Cook, McGraw, Cochran, Lee Green and Harding, most of which were new men to track and field events who had to depend on Stark's coaching qualify in meets. The majority of them have gathered points against powerful competition thus far and it is probable that several of the freshman will be making things tough for competition next season. Bad weather and wet practice fields dogged track men this year, causing track to be a less popular sport than usual. The Tiger's greatest asset this season is the weight throwing squad, the best group of hefties this junior college ever had. These boys have pick- up the greter part of the bacon in evry meet to date. We have always depended on a first in the shot, and received it, not always knowing who might get the blue ribbon, because Dittman, Riffle, and Kotzman are tough competition among them- selves. In the discus throw, Layden has been the top man of the squad. Besides being powerful, he has developed the skill and precision. In the five-way meet at the Shocker stadium in Wichita, Layden tied with Logan from Wichita University for first place, which is very unusal in such an event. Jack Kotzman has tried himself at the discus and is progressing well so far, taking a few seconds. Ben Riffle took one first and some seconds and thirds in the discus. Oliver Rutter also placed a time or two. The javelin throw has been slighted since the start of the season. George Seipp, the number one man on the javelin, injured his arm at the first of the season, and from then on, anyone could try it. Rutter has raked in the most points. The Howards, Calvin and Clifton, have done good work in the half and the mile. In the high jump, Lee has shown up fairly good. Earl Cook has been jumping into the pit for several points this season and will be back again next year. Rutter has also done some jumping, picking up a few points. McGraw and Mitchell have been chasing the half-mile and mile runners around and have done a good job of cathcing the leaders and some points. Green, Chapman, Rutter and Cochran have been lifting their heels over the hurdles in the last few meets, and have brought in several extra points for the book. Rutter has taken up the mammoth tooth pick, and vaulted over the bar to several first and second ribbons. Alvah Turner, the best quarter-miler on the squad, was slightly injured when he pulled a mus- cle in his leg while running in practice. Alvah picked up several points, although he did miss several meets, and is planning on going to the state meet. While Turner was out with the injury, John Mitchell took his place at the quarter and next year, it is believed, John will really be a fast boy on the longer sprints. Herb Harding is trying hard on the mile run. This year is the first long distance for Herb and it is a problem of wind and stamina that takes practice and experience. Herb should turn out to be a capable miler. The remainder of the boys were inexperienced and found the going to rough, and dropped out. The first meet of the year was held at Tonkawa, and in this meet, Southwestern College from Wifield won with 59 1-3 points, Ark City was secod with 43, while Tonkawa placed third with 22 2-3 points. The next meet was at Wichita, with three four- year teams entered. We tied for third place with Eldorado. The Shockers won first, Southwestern second, and the two junior colleges beat out Friend's University. Cin April 10, El Dorado defeated The Tigers there 63-47. In this meet, the Starkmen failed to place in both the mile run and high jump. This paved the way for their downfall. The Tigers were exceptionally strong in the weight events. After some postponement, The Tiger's journey- ed to Coffeyville and dropped a two-way meet to them by a score of 72-50. The Starkman completed in this meet without the services of Seipp and Turner and still gather- ed four firsts and six secods. At the Tonkawa Relays, May 3, the Connor Aggies placed first with 63l,fQ points, Hutchinson junior college a second with 31lfQ, and the Tigers received a third with 20 points. vig,-.41 IEIEIEIEZEIEQEQZQ - .- 1:2r'- - -2 'f'f'2'-': '-i1ffEffE5E?E'EQ-:2.' aiu 4.523212 -2:2:2:2:5:5r22-.-2-5 -.:'-5:2222:1:.:2:5:a:L:i:e:3g2gg2r:f ff-' ',.,.,252g2g2 - 15 '-ki:5:1:7:1:5:5:1:b :-:gzgzgr : 2:31 :2:i:5:5gQj:Q:Q:3,i:E:5:::3:bc -If -gg: Qs- 3' ,.g.g. -'-:f:313::.3Z11- 1- 5313- 3: Q 2 , ff Z-2:!'2 '1'1'5:-:-:-1-'-: ..-I+ 415:-:F-:Ex - .-:-:--:fr-:-:-.-.-:-:-:-1-:-13. ,I gI1-.-.-:- .- 5 '4: 5 E5: '11 -:212:32:Q:2:E:Q:f:2IEEZ:I5 -211121:izlzf:Q:Q.3.:.:.:.:.g-:-:-:-. n 2-:.:.:.:.:::.:-: ':'.': ':': 1' -zllkugfr'-gg, .'

We Wonder-- . . . .if the Calculus class could ever be, without those three incomparables, More, Getter, and Bur- nell. Old Doug really believes that a perfect circle is an unkown series of straight lines. !!!!! Chooooooorse laaaaaaaughj. Burnell can some- times be heard to cry out, Draw the curve! He believes that everything should have a curve Scientilically speaking, we think Burnell is very practical. Getter is yust an old unbelieverf' . . . .if Brains Kroenert has a scientific formula used in catching the eye and also the dances with a certain high school blonde at the Tigerama. . . . .if you are aware of cupid's lastest conquest? Then you should see the new light in Ben fRu- dolphb Rifflels eyes. We think it's swell that Ben, the womanhater, has finally condescended to give the girls a break and us a new insight on Ben's unblemished, innocent character. We have not seen any of Bob and Bing's patty- cake demonstrations yet .... note .... it is barred from the halls of this juior college ..... . . . . we hope. 1it,..f...L Did You I4n0w--- . . . .that a brief dscussion entailing such timely questions as, how to rid oneself of nervousness during the final exams, brought forth the ingen- ious idea of using invisible ink on one's arm and wearing glasses that would clarify the ink. How- ever, after some debate, the idea was given up when all at once Albert Scruton said, That would not work boys, because information would set in and you would have to have the arm amputatedf' . . . .that Harold Ream was in town three days, when all at once, Wham! he spent a nickel! . . . .that it became known last week in class that economists, K. R. Galle and Doyle Young are allied under a common question? . . . .Asked Galle, I wonder how the government knows the amount of tax to levy on each piece of property, Mr. Young '? . . . .Said Doyle, You know, that is what 1 was wondering. . . . .that a certain fellow was telling a small group of college boys about dates and how the girls should conduct themselves when they are takevn home? He proclaims that it is conventional for a girl to give the date a good-night kiss after being taken to the door. According to this philoso- pher, a lover's salute is a form of thanks. . . . .Bert Stoefel, one of the audience, shyly said, I sure like a lot of thanks . . . . .Lyle Green was out for track? A close ob- server said that Coach tark literally shook him into it, telling him to report or else ! As we said, Lyle is out for track .... Bill Sherwood cannot complain of lack of cooperation on the part of his fellow students? Losing five cents when he bit on the current penny trick , Sherwood immediately started enlightening his fellowmates-at five cents or the equivalent thereof. He reports a net profit of 40 cents, two cigars, and a few bottles of pop to date-we call that prosperous coopera- tion. One fellow economist suggested that we plow him under. Did you ever stop to think how much the em- ployees of a certain high school and junior college hang-out Cbetter known as Dye and Fesj know about you? We don't mean they're snoopy either! However, they just can't help over-hearing some of those juicy bits of gossip now and then. CPersonal to Carl, Merle, and Speck: It's a good chance for blackmail IJ Coach, we sure hate to see you leave .... . for more reasons than three! You're such a good subject to tease that we can't imagine what all the poor journalists will do next year without you. No foolin', it will be so dull here without your cheery grin 1By the way Coach, your pretty wife ought tto be quite an inspiration to your Southwestern team !J These glamour girls who spend their week- ends in sorority houses o the campus of some big college make us very envious. Lucky girls! Prob- ably the tops in globe-trotters is Jeri Ames. ln two years she has visited Kansas State College, Kansas University, Emporia State Teacher's Col- lege, Washburn, Oklahoma University, and the Universty of Arkansas. How's she doin'? What's this we hear about a new club-- For Men Only '? It seems that any fellow who wants to date any one certain girl but can't is eligible to join. There are various reasons why the dating might be impossible-finances, parents, competi- tion etc. Personally, we think all they lack is N ERVE! Did you know Bonnie Smith has had an offer? No, not of marriage. CThat's too much to hope for!! Nevertheless. Lee Johnson, who leads a slick, swing band at Emporia State Teacher's College, has offered her a job as his vocalist next year. Bonnie says her plans are too indefinite to decide what she will do yet. Sounds swell to us, Snookums . FQ D' -mi NK . il!!!
