Annie Laurie , a romantic play in three acts by Wall Spence, was presented in the junior high auditorium on May 2 as the an- nual presentation of the junior college spech class under the direction of Miss Pauline Sleeth, speech instructor. The drama itself is based upon the Im- mortal Ballad which was written by William Douglas as an expression on his deep love for Annie Laurie, who, because of her father's wishes married Lord Ferguson. The author of the play has developed a much more vivid and dramatic romance, which provided much entertainment for the audience. The setting for the play is the living room of Sir Laurie's home in the highlands of Scot- land. Sir Laurie's fRoland Gidneyj fondest hope has always been the marriage of his daughter Annie 1Ann Elin Creightonl and Ferguson 1Norman Burtonj. The day for the marriage is set but a few weeks before that day, Annie meets her father's most hated enemy, Sir William Douglas 1William Gallej. Love at first sight results in many serious complications for Annie and Douglas. The housekeeper iCharlotte Holmanj feels it her duty', to guard the motherless Annie and reports her filndings to Sir Laurie. But the stable boy CLewis Nugen, and the little housemaifl, Meg CDoris casterj, are not slow to take a hand on the side of the girl. Worse still for Sir Laurie, his first sweet- heart, the present Lady Jane Scott iVirginina Scritchfieldj returns to the neighborhood with her invalid husband. Learning Annie's story, she recalls the fate of her first love affair with none other than Sir Laurie, him- self. Rembering this, she wins the confidence of Annie and promises the girl her aid in making things come out right. That takes time and clever manipulating but Lady Scott is equal to the role she has assumed. Sir Douglas finally comes to the Laurie home to have it out with Sir Laurie, and it is here that the identity of Annie's secret lover is re- vealed. The father's wrath falls upon the girl. Lady Jane's husband dies. War is declared and Annie's lovers answer the call of their country. Sir Douglas is reported dead. This leaves Ferguson a clear field for Annie's hand. On the day of the wedding Sir Douglas returns. Lady Scott urges the lovers to flee. They are nearly drowned in the lock, but are saved by Ferguson, who realizing the depth of young lovers affection for each other, gallantly relinquishes Annie from her prom- ise to him. Father, whose love for Lady Scott puts him in a forgiving mood, permits the wedding to take place and-all's swell thats ends swell. There are othercharacters which add to the complications of the plot. Jeanie MacLaren lBetty Tollesj, cousin of Annie, and her sweetheart, Lord Gregory fChester Croset- tol add much humor. Lord Bruce CRaymond Wallace fCharles Chaplanl-a true Calvin, gives another bit of local color. Lady Carlyle CHelen Jean Calkinsj, sister of Lord Fergu- sou, was a nurse in the Crimean War and re- veals information of those strenuous days. Mither Mackintosh CEvelyn Swainb, an old lady of the hills, adds mystery and sentiment to the situation. Geraldine Burgauer accompanied the back stage music and acted as prompter. Winona Troutman was the other prompter. Betty Buck, Lela McNair, and Katherine Kinnear served as mistresses of the wardrobe. James Bays, Bob Decker, Jack Elton, and Charles Chapman were the stage managers. The orchestra, planned by A. E. San Roma- ni, was directed by Edwin Brown. One feature which added charm and atmos- phere was the colorful costuming. The men in their riding habits of white breeches and red coats, the kilties of the various clans repre- sented were the cause of much comment. The girls wore gay full-skirted dresses of the pe- riod. The play was produced on April 29 in Cedar Vale to a most pleased audience. All in all, the play was a high light in the college year. We of the Affirmative Challenge the Claim--- One of the outstanding teams in the annu- als of debate history in the Arknasas City junior college was this year's team composed of Robert Morgan and Edwin Brown. This pair outranked 37 champion teams at the Na- tional Debate tournament and established themselves as the third best collegiate team in the United States. This tournament, held under the sponsorship of the Phi Rho Pi so- ciety, was held at Charlotte, North Carolina, April 6-10. Here national members of the Phi Rho Pi society participated in various speech activ- ities. Arkansas City entered three divisions, debate, radio speaking, and extemporaneous speaking. Robert Morgan was in the final rounds of both radio and extemporaneous speaking. The team of Morgan and Brown met and defeated teams from Tennesee, North Caro- lina, Virginia, Minnesota, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Alabama, North Dakota, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, California, and Nebraska. Another outstanding team composed of Louis Morgan and Roy Paslay attended the tournament, but were handicapped because this was the first time they had debated to- gether. Previously Donald Wald had debated with Louis, but because of illness was unable to attend the tournament. Through the courtesy of the Tubbs Motor Company and the aid of both the student body of the high school and the junior college, the trip to North Carolina was made possible. The team of Brown and Morgan have had an exceedingly good record this year. Previ- ous to the National Debate tour-nament, they had won 31 out of 36 decision debates. The first tournament of the year was held at Southwestern College at Winfield. Here the team won four out of five debates and were one of the few teams to receive a supe- rior rating. At Independence, Kansas, where the next tournament took place, the jucos re- ceived a tie for first place honors by winning five out of five debatesg at Hutchinson they received second place honors by being victori- ous in four out of five contests. One of the biggest tournaments of the year was held at the University of Oklahoma at Norman, February 15-16. Not only did the team defeat such prominent teams as Okla- homa Baptist University, Bethany Peneil, Wichita University, University of Oklahoma, and Ada, Oklahoma, but they received a rat- ing of superior, a feat that only four schools accomplished. At the state meet at Pratt, February 20-21- 22, the team again displayed its ability by re- ceiving third place honors. The members of the team who will gradu- ate this spring are Edwin Brown, Louis Mor- gan, and Donald Wald. Freshman who will be back next year are Bob Morgan, Roy Paslay, George Sybrant, Wallace Newberry, Ida Laura Shumate, Neidra Waltz, Hal Payne, and Grant Cole. May I Have the Next Dance? One of the biggest highlights of the college year was the formal spring prom held in the gayly decorated auditorium, with music by Bonner Ruff and his Noted Men. The color scheme of the decorations was carried out in a May theme in pastel colors. Small programs were of pastel colors and a finishing touch was added by the pictures of old fashioned girls holding May baskets. A majority of the guests danced, but those who did not played various games. At inter- mission, Edwin Brown, student council presi- dent, officiated as master of ceremonies for the brief program, after which the dancing and games continued. Toward the end of the evening refresh- ments of punch and wafers were served Committees which did the work in helping to make the event a success were Betty Tolles and Betty Jo Fisher, decorations, Mary Ruth Van Skike, and Patsy Hudson, refresh- ments: Charles Jones, Edwin Brown. and Martin Turner, advertisingg Helen Jean Cal- kins and Edwin Brown, invitations. Track Team Tops Tourney tAimostj Despite the fact that only ten men have re- ported for track this season there are good prospects. Coach Dan Stark has the boys training every afternoon, and there is im- provement in almost every department. In the first meet of the season the Stark- men were bested by Tonkawa and South- western in a triangular affair on the local field, April 3. The Arkansas City juco track- sters managed four firsts, two seconds and three thirds, which was a good showing for the first event of the season. The Tigers showed a weakness in field events and in the weight division, but were definitely strong on the track. i A Calvin Howard took first in the mile run and repeated the same procedure on the half mile run to lead the juco scoring. Despite a taped ankle and a cool day, Benson Quisen- berry, another strong member of the Tiger squad, took the 440 yard dash with a time of 55:4. Arkansas City's other first place was won in the broad jump by Wayne Falkenstein, a freshman from Onega, Kansas. The two seconds for the Tigers were Ever- ett Aleshire in the discus throw and Wayne Falkenstein in the 100 yard dash. Third places were won by J. T. James in the high jump, Charles Jones in the javelin throw, and Ben- son Quisenberry in the discuss throw. It was the Tigers first event of the season and Coach Stark's boys may be expected to make a good showing the remainder of the season. Though the squad is the smallest in several years, the juco trackmen are improv- in rapidly. Another good poilnt is that with the exception of two, the track team consists of all freshmen. This year's experience should develop a strong team next spring. Freshmen on the squad include: Benson Quisenberry and Delbert Wollard, Geuda Springsg J.T. James and Robert Himes, Ar- kansas Cityg Wayne Falkensein, Onegag Everett Aleshire, Anthonyg Claude Dudeck, Atlantag and Charles Jones, Rainbow Bend. Calvin Howard and Charles Chapman are the sophomore members of the squad. Calvin Howard has already proven his worth in the mile and 880 yard run. It takes plenty of stamina, wind, and speed to run either of these and Calviln has it. Calvin won both of these events consistently last year and so far is repeating it again this year. The team will miss himvigreatly when next season rolls around. . Another high-stepper and showing great promises is Benson Quisenberry. He excells in 440 yard dash and from appearances. Ben- son should bring home several' first place honors before the season is lover. ' ' A In the broad jump and dashes, Coach Stark boasts of another strong member of his '41 squad, Wayne Falkenstein. Wayne has al- ready placed high in both departments and is showing rapid improvement. In the javelin throw, both Everett Aleshire and Charles Jones have 'made strong bids and further meets should show these boys going places. Aleshire has also displayed good form in the discus throw with Benson Quisenberry as a stronger partner. ' ' Other boys showing up well are J.T. James in the hurdles and high jump, Charles Chap- man in the hurdles, and: Robert Himes in the javelin and distance runs. This years trackteam may not break all records, but they have already displayed their strength in certain departments. With the number of freshmen' on his squad, Coach Stark can expect even greater results next year. Fall ln!! Girls-please!! Basketball, badminton, tennis, and ping pong-played in tournament sand just games -have been the main projects in the juco girls gym class. Work-outs twice a week under the direction of Miss Edith Davis, girls physical education supervisor, have improved the skill of most of the girls this year. On March 22 the class went to Parsons for a PlaylpDay of competitive sports. Teams from several colleges near Parsons competed in tennis, badminton, table tennis, and shuffle board. Archery and swimming were enthus- iastically accepted by Ark City's delegates. The idea of the event was not so much to win honors, but just to have fun with other girls in sports. Although Ark City came home without any trophies to display, the girls felt they had accomplished somethingin taking part in the various games.

P534 u,,,,.,,.vJ N Spring CAA Course Comes Through with Flying Colors Silver Threads Among the Gold might very appropriately be the theme song of the 1941 spring aeronautics class, because of all the aeronautical classes conducted up to that point, it took the prize for giving D.C. Stark, E. A. Funk, and Lloyd Pickett gray hairs. First, the little item of the flying instruc- tor, Hugh Minor, resigning was only a trifle, because Pickett succeeded in obtaining an in- structors license. With that settled, the problem of a good licensed mechanic was yet to be solved. After a hasty search. the licensed mechanic was found. With these two main problems solved, the hopeful little ten settled down to Stark's in- teresting lectures with renewed patience, looking forward to the good possibilities of some day being able to fly-but, the former worries were not enough for Friend Fate- two of the students accepted jobs before per- mission to fly was obtained from the govern- ment. This called for numerous private con- ferences between these boys and the instruc- tors. This was gradually ironed out with the result of Daniel himself taking flying from Pickett. There was only one worry left to us, and that was the problem of whether or not Stark could slide through on the ground school tests, but, after some consultation among the 10 flying aces, it was decided that he had a fair chance of it. Then, as though there hadn't been enough hard luck, Bud Higby decided to have an attack of appendicitis. As you all know, how- ever, he eventually snapped out of that non- sense, after an operation. This leads up to the place where flying could begin any time that the wind and re- tarded at least for five or ten minute inter- vals. The only trouble 'now was the little fact that only one or two out of the class had means of transportation to the airport. Every possible angle of solution was given consider- ation. Mr. Funk suggested that the school bus be used for this purpose, but after a second thought, it was decided that carrying the ten students at different hours would be too hard on the tires and pavement. Nature took its course on that problem, as they all managed to get there sooner or later for their lessons. Then the good tidings of great joy were received one morning at ground school that McQuiston had soloed--the first of the class. The next to solo was Bob Lindemood. Bob got along fine until he tried to land. After over- shooting the field twice, onlookers, including Pickett, were trying to figure out the possi- bilities of shooting him down. That Wasn't necessary, however, as the third time was a charm for him. A new custom was established after Lindemood landed, and that was for all those present at the airport after a first solo, the soloist buys cokes. Although this class of nine boys and one girl has had numerous worries, they got a lot of fun out of the course along with their edu- cation, and perhaps the worries lent a bit of excitement to the otherwise daily routine. The spring aeronautics class of 1941 had its flying instruction under Lloyd Pickett who succeeded Hugh Minor, the former flight in- structor, and Daniel Stark continued the ground work instruction. This class was unable to start their instruc- tion as early as the other classes because of various hinderences, but are going to be able to finish at approximately the maximum time limit set by the government for completion. The first of the ten students to solo was Harold lVIcQuiston who made his a few min- utes past the eight-hour minimum. Bob Lind- emood followed second. The students taking this course are as fol- lows: Daniel Stark, fthe ground instructorb, Bud Higby, Bob Lindemood, R.B. Quinn, Har- old McQuiston, Earl Cook, Oran Begwin, Bob Decker, Patty Yorke, Kenneth Peterson, and William Woodman. Collegians Learn Two Welding Methods Fourteen boys were enrolled in the new col- lege welding class that was taught this se- mester for the first time. The boys learned two types of welding in this course, arc and acetyline. With the new equipment and room, the class had the advan- tage of developing skill. Most of the boys worked with plate welding but some worked with tube welding. Before the course was ended, each boy worked with both plate and tube welding under the direc- tion and supervision of Francis Agnew, in- structor. Since the course was taught only one hour a day rapid advance could not be expected. Only the fundamentals of welding and the training of the use of the welding equipment could be gained in this course. This course was taught along the same line as the trade schools and was taught this se- mester chiefly as an experimental course. Instead of being just a preparatory course, it tends to develop a skill which can be put to ready use in the defense programs after the completion of the course. The boys enrolled in this course as follows: Grover Bills, Norman Burton, Wallace Brown, J ack Dailey, Faye Floyd, Don Hoyt, Carl Hol- man, Herb Hollenback. Bob Lawrence, Jack Martin, Billy Morgan, Victor Reeves, Raymond Stalnaker, and Cliff Yarberry. Dinner Club ls Live-Wire The Dinner Club is an organization of stu- dents of speech for the purpose of puttinginto practical use those speech techniques studied in the regular class time. The Dinner Club also gives students an op- portunity to become acquainted with proper social graces as each student is given a chance to act as host or hostess at one of the meet- ings. A special effort has been made this year to make the programs more timely. Certain holi- days have provided the theme for each of the meetings, held the second Monday of each month. ff 0 1, Es war elnmal ------ Dites donelln The language clubs of the junior college met this year on alternate Wednesday even- ings-the French club meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of the month and the German club on the second and fourth Wed- nesdays. Several special meetings of both clubs were held during the year. The French club's initial meeting was the annual Twelfth Night party in the Presbyterian Church on January 8. The celebration was ruled over by Mary Ellen McDowell and Roy Paslay. According to the French custom, the person finding the bean in his piece of cake is king or queen. Mary Ellen McDowell found the bean which gave her the privilege of choosing the king. The program was composed of impromptu numbers requested by the king and queen. A special guest was Mrs. H. H. Putman, who was born in Switzerland and has lived in several countries. She gave a brief talk con- cerning her native land in French. The officers this year were Ida Laura Shu- mate, president, Madge Sneller, vice-presi- dent, Chester Turner, secretary, Virginia Scritchfield, song leader, alnd Helen Jean Cal- kins, pianist. All business meetings and as much of the social hour as possible were con- ducted in French. Christmas caroling and the annual spring picnic were the outstanding events of the German Club's year. The annual Christmas party held at the home of Miss Anne Hawley, language instructor, was followed by the group carolimg in various parts of the city. Officers for this year were Harry Freeman, president, Winston Walker, vice-president, Ethel McKerracher, secretary, William Galle, song leader. and Eleanor Pearson, pianist.

The team for next season will include 12 lettermen, several out for football for the first time, and number of this season's Bulldog stars. This aggregation will be considerably stronger than this year's team. Beginning April 7, spring football practice was held every evening for a month at the athletic field under the direction of Coach Delmar Steinbock and Assistant Coach Bar- ney Getto. Two hours of exercise and fundamentals have prepared the thirty-one hopefuls for the '41 season. Coach Steilnbock was well satis- fied with the preview of next year's squad. Junior college men who reported for spring practice were Bill Morgan, Carl Nolan, Leon- ard Logan, Clifford Yarberry, Everett Ale- shire, Paul Martin, Herb Hollenback, Delbert Smyth, Leo Rinehart, George Bagby, John Spigarelli, Kermit Pangle, Louis Ebert, Charles Jones, James Tully, J.
