Football Prospects Good When school convenes next fall, all eyes will be trained and ears will be turned to junior college football and the new coach who will replace the retiring Tiger grid maestero, R. C. Nolan. The next grid mentor will have a tough assign- ment to fill, taking into consideration what coach Nolan's accomplished in the way of trophies and honor in football, but in regards to the probable squad which will report for suits next fall, it should be fairly easy. Here is the probable turnout next fall. First of all, the returning lettermen include Bill Moriconi, Frontenacg Edgar Tillery, Tulsag Lyle Green, Onagag Doyle Young, Arkansas City: Bob Sellers, Valley Centerg Jack Kotzman, Front- enac. Tillery and Moriconi were elected co-captains for next season. Other squad members returning are Duane Walker, Arkansas Cityg Marcy Ellis, WaKeeneyg Jack Pinion, Arkansas City, and Oliver Rutter, Gueda Springs. Several boys who have been out of high school a year or more are expected to report for training. These include Ansel Campbell, Adamsg Homer Cherry, Winfieldg Doze Fleming, Chet Turner, Bud Higby, and Paul Ableson, all of Arkansas City. Among the seniors expected out of Arkansas City high school are Roy Kindred, J. T. James, George Bagby, Wayne Conley, Leo Rinhart, Jack Simpson, Tom Pringle, Don Mueller, and Wendell Amos. Committee Plans Activities In every college organization of any sort there is always found a certain amount of socialactivity. In that respect ACJC has had its share. The junior social committee under the supervi- sion of Miss Thelma Hall, junior college history, psychology, and cadet teaching instructor, has provided many an interesting party for the juco student body during the year 1939-40 school year. Among them were the tacky party held October 18, which the collegians attended attired in all sorts of fantastic costumes, the Christmas party, which featured Donald Lancaster as Sawnta Claus, and other informal evening get-togethers. The high light of the current year social pro- grams presented by the social committee, assisted by the student council was reached in the junior college Prom, the annual formal reception given by the juco student body for the high school senior class, which proved to be one gala affair. In light of these facts it is evident that the social committee has worked hard amd faithfully in directing the juco social activities and making ACJC life far from dull, and to it due credit is forthwith given The social committee is composed of George Seipp, chairman, Mary Ruth Vanskike, Bill Reyn- olds, Lambert Stoffel, and Anna Marie Bossi, who replaced Charlotte Green at the second semester. -W. R. Athletic Field Premotleled After much trial and error Ark City is at last we have used for many years had many disad- vantages. It had to be used for practice as well as to have an athletic field which will be suitable both for the spectators and the players. The field up or packed too hard. The few patches of grass that had grown were soon obliterated. Another disadvantage was the lack of room for practice. All the teams had to practice on the brief spill- over on the south end. There was a disadvantage to the spectators because of the obstruction of view by the light posts. There has been a spasmodical change going on during the last six years. The first much need- ed improvement was the installment of the flood lights. This made it possible to have night games. The next great improvement was the building of the field house on the north end of the athletic field. At first this was only a small square build- ing, but during the last two years it has been en- larged until it is now about three times the orig- inal size. On the east wing of the house, there is now a garage for the new school bus. The last improvement, only recently completed, was the building of wall along the north end of the field. The wall is about two feet high. It was along the front of the field house and makes a break between the field itself and the building. It gives the field house a much neater appearance than it formerly had. Now a bigger and greater improvement is uder way. The field itself will be set farther east and south. The old tennis courts, formerly on the extreme south end of the field, are being torn up and the field will extend through to Madison Avenue. The bleachers on the west side have been removed. It is not yet certain where the new bleachers will be placed. The lights will be re- moved and placed so that they will no longer ob- strut the view of the spectators. The new field will be well-covered with grass and will not be used for practice. There will be enough land south for practice and the field will be in good shape for games. There is mush more work yet to be done, and work will have to go forward rapidly. This im- provement is a much needed one and fans are looking forward to seeing the first game on the new field. Latest changes, as was the field house addi- tion, were made possible through WPA assistance. .-.k-.k-. ' si fa, D 1 ll P ,J-bl gf, X ff! f fffvgiywwfffpj Qmllllillmfllillcmmlllllll L,

Through the influence of his conscience and Peggy Norton, who decides to accept Dr. Lorris' proposal only to learn that he no longer cares for her, Rev. Howard tells Whimsey the true reason Mr. Carter left her his money. Peggy tells Whim- sey that Dr. Lorris has previously asked her to marry him and implied that he is marrying Whimsey for her money. Whimsey, certain that Dr. Lorris is really in love with Peggy, returns to her strange, solitary existence and refuses to speak with Dr. Lorris. Meanwhile Rosie and Arnold. two rural lovers, who were witnesses to Mr. Carter's will in which he left Whimsey his money, reveal that he had made a will two days later leaving all his money to his nephew. Peggy Norton learns of this will before Cyril does and sending a note in which she professes her great love for him and her willing- ness to marry him even if he doesn't have any money, makes him happy. He never does learn that she has known of the last will before. Whimsey has much trouble returning to her stratnge existence, for the imaginary people do not replace the real people she has known. She begins to be sorry that she has sent Dr. Lorris away for she realizes that he really loves her. One day Dr. Lorris returns and he and Whimsey know that they love each other dearly. Martha, always eager to help Whimsey, picks up the red um- brella and takes it out of the room with the words, You won't be needing this again. The cast of the play is as follows: Whimsey Drew, Miss Betty Gail Essex, Martha, Miss Rose- mary McDonoughg Peggy Norton, Miss Doris Dean Force, Cyril Carter, Alvah Turnerg Dr. Ben Lorris, Lloyd Riceg The Rev. Thomas Howard, Glenin Symesg Mrs. Howard, Miss Betty Marie Wright, Mr. Carter, Clifton Howard, Arnold, William Hardyg Rosie, Miss Catherine Nugen. Each member of the cast was well-suited to his or her part and this fact, coupled with the excellence of the play, resulted in a performance of which the junior college may be duly proud. Miss Pauline B. Sleeth, as director of the produc- tion, deserves the highest praise for this fine production. Those assisting with the production were A. E. San Romani, director of the orchestra, and Miss Clara Parker and William Sherwood. members of the speech class. Members of the play cast presented The Red Umbrella at Cedarvale, Wednesday, May 1, as a number of the Cedarvale high school lyceum course. School will soon be out and then comes June, the month of brides! Dame Rumor informs us that several of our fellow studes are going to tell it to the judge this summer. fOr were you just kid- ding, Marcalee?J This is certainly the season for teachers! Have you noticed how many of them are getting married this spring? We'd be willing to bet that ther'll be another announcemernt immediately after the close of school and we don't mean an approaching marriage either. We've heerd tell that a cer- tain high school teacher has already gone and did it . Wait and see! Ruby Beebe to Marry, Iris Tyler New Secretary Ruby Beebe, secretary to Mr. Galle in the j un- ior college has heard the call of the soft and sweet tone of wedding bells and on July 7 will take the fatal walk down the aisle and take James Carpen- ter of Casper, Wyoming as her husband.

Young Demos, G. 0. P., Active in College After seventeen years of peaceful college life, A. C. J. C. has finally given way to the lambasting, log-rolling, mudslinging institution of politics. Differences as to political faith has rapidly taken form. A. C. J. C. now has the two major parties of the nation's political realm represented within its' midst, manifested in the organizations of the Young Democrats and the Young Republicans. The young factions are organized much on the same order as the National parties, having most of the same offices. The Democrats were the first to organize. Having begun their club 2 years ago. they now boast 88 members. The respective officers of the club are Jack Burkarth, chairmang Joyce Cox, vice-chairman, Evelyn Vining. secretary and treasurerg and Iris Tyler, social chairman. Their political advisor is Frank Theis, an Arkansas City lawyer. The club has had two dances this year, held at Gib Hatfield's studio, and also have apicnic planned for May 19. The Young Republicans were not long in retaliating, and this year have organized their forces. At the present they boast of some 50 members amd in another year they expect to over- take their opponents. Plans are being made for a picnic to be held sometime before school is out. Officers of the club are Edwin Brown, chairmang Grace Hamilton, vice-chairmang Jaunita Harder, secretary and treasurer. Bill Hardy, and Alva Turner, social chairmen. Their political advisor is George Templar, lawyer and member of the state legislature. The parties are somewhat divided among them- selves as to who they are going to support in the coming presidential election. The Republicans are mainly for Vandenburg and Dewey while Demo- cratic factions favor Roosevelt and Farley.-W. R. lk.-ti.. Autlitorium landscaped Beauty has been added to utility in Arkansas City's newest school building, the auditorium. At the suggestion of Mrs. Graydon Tilbury, the board of education spent several hundred dollars in landscaping of the grounds south and west of the building to bring its appearance into greater harmony with other school and near-by library property. Since the auditorium was built four years ago, the ground has been left barren. The clay has been replaced by rich dirt, and plots of bermuda grass have been planted in the sections of land in front of the building. Hedges have been plainted along the inner sides of the sidewalk south of the build- ing. Trees have also been set out. No work has beeln done on the parking, and this space will prob- ably be cemented over. Starkmen Win Third ln Western llivision The Tiger basketball five finished third in the Western Division of the junior college state circuit for the 1939-40 season. The Hutchinson team won the division, with Dodge City placing second. In conference competition the Bengals won six games and lost four encounters, and scored 403 points to their opponents' 336. The non-conference season ended with a five to one game lead for the Tigers. Coach Daniel Stark has won two state champ- ionships. Stark's teams won the titles in the sea- sons of 1925-26 and in 1926-27. Stark came to Ark City in 1923, and during the period of 17 years Stark has had a very fine record for putting on the floor a fine showing team. The Tigers were handicapped this year by the loss of Oran Begwin, forward on the college five, who developed a severe case of pneumonia near the beginnning of the cage season. This illness kept Begwin from competing in any athletics and from completing his school work. The college team was built around Wayne Howard, free scoring forward for the Bengals. In the ten conference games played, Howard scored 68 field goals, 23 free throws, had ten personal fouls called against him. Howard scored a total of 159 points with an average of 15.9 per game for the season. He bucketed 29 points against Pratt in the game played at Pratt. Begwin and Howard were co-captains of the 1939-40 squad. In the Western Division of the junior college circuit, Howard was elected forward on the All- Star team. Oliver Rutter and Burrell McGraw received honorable mention for their playing. Coach Stark's 1940 squad consisted of the fol- lowing players: Wayne Howard, Oran Begwin, Oliver Rutter, Fred Cockran, Glen Shockey, Ed- ward Drehmer, Jack Pinion, Red Littell, Earl Cook, Burrell McGraw, Warren Thomas, Carl Hol- man, Robert Ellinger, Harold lVIcQuiston, Clinton Hobson, Charles Chapman, and Arthur Johnson.
