But this was before that certain girl came into his life. The most eloquent sign of spring recently seen was George holding Betty Wise's hand while they sipped cokes at an uptown drug store. And you know what comes from sipping stulf througir a straw! What can be done about a certain Miss Hall who resorts to blackmail? Let Madge Sneller pass the sentence. fMake it a week at home when the finals are due, Madge.D Steiny thinks that all the girls who whis- per in study hall should serve tea. Possibly a customary habit for gossipers, or is Steiny thirsty? The most clever combination we've seen on the bicycle built for two theory were those two cuties on the same bike, Annagene Heathman and Patty Lester. Right, Dale and Billy? We can think of a better name for teacher Barney Getto. How about Blarney Gettsem? Mr. Snyder advocated in one of his classes recently that to get along in this life we've got to know how to jerk the 1-ight strings. Florine Turman, however, believes that it's essential to know how to string the right jerks! If Mr. Ruff calls you Johnnie when he should have said Suzy, don't be too shocked. He has some new bifocals. Can you fancy Bill Miller NOT singing Deep in the Heart of Texas? tHe hopeslb Had you noticed that .Ruth Akers is subject to Paynes? Marge Fulton remarked one day, I walnted wings. She got them and their owner, too. Wanda Watkins is some gal! She can dream a dream so real that it really happens. Speaking of dreams-Julius Rader had a nightmare when he overslept and forgot his date with Gwen! It has been suggested that Reeves, Rath- bun and Rutter be voted the most quiet girls that ever recited Children's Lit in study hall. We can certainly say that we emvy M.rs. Burnett. She gets her own report cards. Roughly speaking, she can cook her own stew! I heard that some of the kids were cooking with gas at exam time. Evidently the teach- ers didn't think the gas was hot enough. Someone said John Hutton would make a good air raid 'warden because he stays out all night anyway. Mr. Hi1nchee's gum pan has provided no end of amusement for jucos and juco-ettes. At the beginning of class periods he collects the gum, which, incidentally, is all flavors. If you've wondered about the noise near the music room after school, it's only the owners returning for their chews! When Steiny's class gets treated to bub- ble gum by a member who has been absent for a class period, we think he might sing, 'Tm forever blowing bubbles. With the wind shrieking everywhere these days, we've seen some lovely girls looking like Hrhapsodies in repulse. But they're still rhapsodies, aren't they? We were puzzled when Ahniwake Mill- er was preparing her home furnishings lesson recently. She said she'd like to plan her own home. Why, Ahni, is it soon? We'l1 admit that the new college club room is a honey, but you don't get to hear good jokes like Don Ecroyd tells ornly in study hall. Seems that certain couples have some confidential business going on. Kids, be it a military secret? Have you heard about the auto and the dog? Thecar had the right-of-way. Doggone! One foot said to the other, I don't want to walk without you ! If anyone joke mentioned above appears funny to any living person, it is purely co- incidental. 7mcfa '7eam Fifteen J uco boys reported to Coach Daniel Stark for the 1942 track campaign. The Ben- gals officially opened the season on the cin- ders April 14 in a tri-school meet at El Dorado. The Arks took second in this opening meet. In their second meet the juco cindermen placed second in another tri-school meet at Independence. The Tigers captured two firsts in the hurdle events and one first in the mile run. Many seconds and thirds made it possi- ble to finish in the runner-up position well ahead of the third place team of Iola. Last year the Arks always managed to take their share of first place honors, but lacked enough mein to win any seconds or thirds. This year Coach Stark had a fairly well balanced crew of thin-clads who were able to hold their own in most meets of the spring season. Coach Stark had three lettermen around which to build his squad for the season. These lettermen were Benson Quisenberry who specialized in the 440 yard dash, J. T. James, star high jumper and hurdlerg and Charles Jones, juco pole vault artist. The college cindermen were strengthened by the addition of such former Bulldog ath- letes as Don I-Iite and Glenn Williams. The fifteen boys who wore the Orange and Black in the spring campaign were Benson Quisenberry, J. T. James, Charles Jones, Don Hite, Glenn Williams, Bill Morgan, Bob Shaw, Melvin Endicott, Harry Fitzpatrick. Marion Moore, Keith Ellis, George Moreland, James Salsberry, J. C. Faulk, and Newell Larson. I don't see any point to these jokes in here, said the copy reader to the editor. Our readers will, the editor replied. They're smart. Coach: Suppose the ball is on the four-yard line, last down, one minute to play, and we are three points behind. What would you do, James? James: Pd move down the bench further where I could see better. LOAFERS REGZINE IN NE W JUCO LOUNGE This is about a hope that wasn't too far- fetched to become a reality. It might have been written in Wichita or Manhattan or Stillwater. But we happened to be in Ark- ansas City in the junior college, and happened to see something fine and good grow out of the determination of a few students who started out with nothing more than a hope. At the first of the year many of us stu- dents heard talk of a juco lounge, but very few thought the chances of having one here were very good. Hardly anyone did more than to discredit talk of such a place. But to the few who did realize the possibilities of such a venture, Ivan Upson, Bob Morgan, George Sybrant, Dorothy Moody, Betty Wise, D. C. Stark, and a host of others, the student body owes many compliments. No one would have thought that classy club rooms could be converted out of old and seldom used shower and locker rooms that few present-day students knew existed. From the time the first sledge hammer was used on partitions until the formal opening on March 18, less than a month was consumed in cleaning and furnishing the room with di- vans, easy chairs, a radio-phonograph, a ping-pong table, card tables, and an auto- matic soft drink vendor. In addition to the club rooms proper, the old senior high gym, adjacent to the lounge, can be used for dancing at the college socials. Although some of the technical work was done by professionals, most of the painting and earlier work was done by students who donned overalls, paint-smeared pants, and sweat-shirts to do manual labor. All the work was not done by the boys! Girls did man-sized jobs such as carrying trash, keeping the floors somewhat clean, scrubbing the rooms, and finally painting the walls and ceilings. Often they out-did the ef- forts of the boys. Do you know what the little rabbit said when he came of the forest fire? Dooday I been de-furred!! ,4..,4,,,az.faz.fw -imfm The teacher training course offered in the junior college prepares the students for a two-year certificate. The student teachers observed for two hours a week the first semester. This se- mester the following girls observed and did practice teaching: Marjory Allen worked with Miss Bowen in the first grade at Roos- evelt schoolg Maxine Brownlee with Miss Good in the second grade at Rooseveltg Mar- tha Bowmaan with Miss Carpenter in the sec- ond grade at Washington, Jeanette Evans with Miss Hardy in the fifth grade at Roos- eveltg Betty Jo Fisher with Miss Jones in the fourth and fifth grades at Willardg Mary Ruth Helms with Miss Vawter in the first grade at Willardg Mildred Helms with Miss Cashman in fourth grade at Pershing g Dor- othy Melick with Miss Reynolds in the fifth grade at Lincoln. Angela Quisenberry with Miss Wright in the fourth grade at Rooseveltg Audrey Rus- sell with Miss Jones in the fifth grade at Per- shingg Melba Rutter with Miss Perryman in the sixth grade at Rooseveltg Virginia Sher- wood with Miss Johnson in the third grade at Pershingg and Harriett Welman with Miss Levick in the third grade at Lincoln. Once a week the student-teachers met for conference with the college supervisor, Miss Thelma Hall. This provided an opportunity for the discussion of theory and practice as well as special problems which arose. Speak- ers from special fields were invited to talk to the student-teachers during the semester. For the past few years the students have all been successful in getting schools, said Miss Hall. Now in this time of stress it isn't only your patriotic duty, but an opportun- ity to help by obtaining for your self one of the many jobs to be had. In this rather painless way you will be doing your share in aiding your country, and at the same -time be helping your selves. The junior college's contribution this sem- ester to the national war effort was the pur- chase of defense stamps. Each Thursday since January the various conference groups met with their advisers and bought an aver- age weekly total of about thirty dollars' worth of savings stamps. Ruth Akers, Charles Ard, Dale Smith, Betty Jo Fisher, Ahniwake Miller, Charles Jones, Harry Freeman, Virginia Taylor, and Betty Lou Barnes served as secretaries to handle the sales of these advisery groups. These students took orders for stamps and stamp books from pupils in their respective classes, bought the stamps from a post office representative in the junior college office, and returned the purchases to the students. Most students bought either the 10 cent or 25 cent stamps and filled their special books in order to purchase defense bonds. fVa-ay 'U-I p'l-0-flldlft The fact that the junior college was ap- proved by the Navy for a V-1 training pro- grom now allows the college to take a definite part in the nation's war effort. This program will allow boys to stay in college and at the same time prepare for a position in our armed forces. The Navy wants men with sufficient ability to serve as officers and will draw many of them from the 80,000 boys to be enrolled annually un- der the V-1 plan. The students will first enroll in the Naval Reserve with the approval of the junior col- lege school officials, and will then take their regular junior college training. Trigonome- try, algebra, physics, English, and physical education are subjects required of V-1 stu- dents. After completing their juco training, these students Will either qualify for Navy officers' training, and will be allowed to com- plete their college educationg or they will be enrolled for Aviation Cadet Trainingg or will be sent to a Naval training station for active duty as apprentice seamen. E E Eau' 7 ff The second half of the '41-'42 basketball season proved to be disastrous to the Tiger cage team. They dropped four out of five con- ference games, besides losing two non-con- ference contests. When the first half of the juco conference ended, the Tigers had a record of two victor- ies and three setbacks. The victories were at the expense of Garden City, 26 to 253 and Dodge City, 37 to 25. The losses were suffer- ed at the hands of the champion El Dorado Grizzlies, 25 to 39, the Pratt Beavers, 31 to 37 3 and the Blue Dragons of Hutchinson, 25 to 41. As the second conference half started, the hopes of a very strong finish faded. Three regulars, Bagby and the two Roberts' broth- ers, dropped out of school. Another blow to the Tigers was the injury of Hite, a capable guard. Hite's injury was serious for a while, and as a result, he was lost to the team for three weeks. The strong El Dorado cage team snowed the Tigers under with a barrage of field goals to start the second half, and had little trouble winning, 51 to 27. Barr of the oppon- ent team tallied 21 points. For their next game, Ark City travelled to Pratt and came back with a welcome 36 to 26 win over the Beavers. The game was rough, as indicated by the 44 fouls called on the two teams. The long trip west was too much for Coach Dan Stark's team. They met the Garden City Broncos and the Dodge City Conqs. The Broncos walloped the Tigers, 38 to 20. On the following night, the Dodge City team took over where Garden City left off, but had considerable more trouble than their neighbors. The Conqs had a hard time eking out a one point win, 43 to 42. Ark City had a 14 point lead at the half, but failed to con- tinue their march in the second half. The game ended in a tie, 37 all. In the final league game of the season playing opposite the Hutchinson Blue Dra- gons, the Starkmen again had a lead at the fav . 3 .,,,.,. I - I nu? . 'af -- Y ' lx 'i 2 J IQ' L half, this time 18 to 16. But in the second half the Tigers could cage only seven points, while the Hutchinson team ran wild and Won the game, 44 to 25. In a non-conference contest, which was the last home appearance for the Tigers, the St. John's team of Winfield edged out Ark City, 44 to 43. Quisenberry, Tiger center, missed two free throws in the last thirty seconds of play. The visiting St. John's team had a. 21 to 18 lead at the half. The Tigers finished the season with a rec- ord of three victories and seven defeats in ten games of conference play. Had the lifne- up not needed changing so often due to in- juries and players dropping out of school, their record might have read considerably better. The players, who proved by their steady playing to be more or less the mainstays of the team, were J. T. James, guardg Harry Freeman, guardg and Benson Quisenberry, center. Jack Pickett, forward, improved re- markably in the second semester, and re- ceived the acclaim of more than one Tiger fan. Other players on the Tiger squad were Don Hite, Martin Turner, Delbert Wollard, Gale Paton, James Brownell, J. C. Faulk, Bill Van Skike, Neal Collins, Melvin Endicott, James Salisberry, and Jack Finch.

The Arkansas City Eta Chapter in on re- cord as one of the ten best Phi Rho Pi hon- orary forensic societies in the nation. Pres- ident of the local chapter for 1942 was Bob Morgan. Vice president was Don Ecroyd, and secretary was Wanda Watkins. The re- cord of this group showed that despite many irregular changes and other obstacles, it up- held the honorary tradition of this society. In the seventh annual Ark City Speech Institute and the tournament at Pittsburg on November 21 and 22 in which the teams debated the national debate question, Re- solved that the federal government should regulate by law all labor unions in the Unit- ed States, the teams came through with a total of twelve winning rounds to three losses. With only three days warning of a change in the debate question, Ark City finished the McPherson tournament with high honors on January 10. The undefeated team was Bob Morgan and George Sybrant with a score of five victories and no defeats. Wanda Wat- kins and Alberta Darrough won three out of five debates. Jordan Burkey and Don Ecroyd won two out of five rounds, debating the new question, Resolved that the na- tions should after the war form a new fed- eration to establish the eight Churchill-Roos- evelt principles. In the debate section of the St. John's Invitational Forensic Tournament, February 13 and 14, Ark City still maintained her po- sition. Bob Morgan and George Sybrant placed third at the Kansas State Forensic tournament at Independence February 26, 27, and 28 after defeating the Coffeyville team which placed second in the contradict- ory decision. In the debate division of the National Forensic Tournament held at Excelsior Springs, Missouri from March 80 to April 2, Bob Morgan and Don Ecroyd tied for third place with Hutchinson. High honors were also won during the year in the individual events of oration, impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speak- ing, and original poetry division by Bob Morgan, by George Sybraant in extempor- aneous speaking, and by Wanda Watkins in the story telling division. To M. K. Snyder, debate coach, and his challenging squad we owe this list of honors left with our junior college record. llllllllllh ll, l Vfif ' XX lxlllgfflf 0 '7.l' u mm I l!lxiilllllJgL',l GYM GIRZS' A7 PIAY This year the girls' physical education class enjoyed a varied program. Tourna- ments were played in the major sports, bas- ketball, volley ball, badminton, and tenrnis. Besides these sports, ping pong, bean bag, and shuffle board served as substitutes dur- ing the tournaments. Time was also spent on exercising and rhythm drills given to improve the girls' posture when walking or standing. The girls were better than average in sportsmanship. They went out for a good time but, along with this, they learned the technique of playing the game better. One of the most important points in taking phys- ical education is learning to associate with other girls. Miss Edith J. Davis, the physical educa- tion instructor, has been both friend and ad- viser to the girls. Through error a newspaper story referred to the younger gineration -or was it an error?

The course was planned to give self-ex- pression through rhythmic movements. It also attempted to improve the bodily mech- anics of each student. With the thought foremost in their minds of not tolerating swaying trunks and sag- ging shoulders, the girls improved their muscles for good structure. This work was difficult and strenuousg therefore, music was provided to make the work more enjoyable. Class members were Audrey Russell, Vir- ginia Sherwood, Wanda Watkins, Mary Ruth Helms, and Annagene Heathman. The annual Spring Prom this year used a method of former years of inviting seniors from near-by towns. The formal dance was the big social event of the year, carrying out a nautical theme. Card tables were provided for those who did not care to dance, but dancing was the high light of the evenifng's entertainment. They danced to the music of Bonner Ruff's band. The social committee and student council to whom the credit goes for the success of the event consisted of Betty Wise, chairman, George Sybrant, Dorothy Moody, John Ruck- el. Edwina Crane, Neidra Waltz, Ahniwake Miller, Jasper DeVore, Bill Ledeker, Jean Peck, Don Ecroyd, and Bob Morgan. Guests for the evening were the high school and junior college faculty, board of education, seniors from Arkansas City and Winfield, Chilocco, South Haven, Wellington, Gueda Springs, Oxford, Atlanta, Burden, Cambridge, Dexter, and Cedarvale. Then there's a Scotchman who took his son out of school because he had to pay attention. Speech 862114 Pham N!! Wdh Play This Genius Business, a three act come- dy by Edna Higgins Strachan, was presented by the junior college speech class April 24 in the high school auditorium. This was the annual appearance of the public speaking class under the direction of Miss Pauline Sleeth, junior college speech instructor. The plot was that of a modern family with two live-Wire children. Because Aline Blodgett sacrificed a successful career to marry George Blodgett, she hoped to realize in her two children some of her own thwart- ed hopes. After showing all the humorous sit- uations which arose, Mrs. Blodgett's hopes were crushed and she returned to her hus- band whom she had left earlier in the play. Florine Turman played the role of the mother and Jasper Devore characterized the easy-going, lovable father. Bill Ledeker play- ed the part of Beaumont Blodgett, the All- American. Betty Wise portrayed the pliable, naive daughter, Aida. John Ruckle took the part of the young Dr. Oliver who became the love interest of Aida. Neidra Waltz played the role of Katie, Blodgetts' maid who had a beautiful natural singing voice. Ahnriwake Miller played Albertina, a young matron friend of Aida. Rita, an actress friend of Mrs. Blodgett, was portrayed by Maybelle Huff- man. Business managers were student council members. Pat Mingle was property mana- ger. Stage managers were Junior Weekley and Julius Rader. Others assisting were Hel- en Voorhis and Dorothy Melick. Luther E. Parmam loaned the furniture, and Moncrief's sent flowers. The orchestra was directed by J. J. Dalke. Modern girl's line: I'm not fickle, it's just that I want to have more than two or three men fighting for my defense. The war will be over soon if Burton will only be called into action, because in all his life he's never held a job over six months. .f EMM :qw 5 Zlamcln Glad On February 11 the election of officers of the juco French club included Francis Clay- pool as president, Ruth Akers as vice presi- dent, Virginia Taylor as secretary, Ahniwake Miller as reporter, Gwendolyn Appleman as song leader, and Louise Benshoof as social chairman. Ahniwake Miller gave an interes- ting report on French festivals in February. The club discussed French music on Feb- ruary 18. Betty Barnes told about De Bussy, and Ruth Akers played selections from his compositions. Cleo Fern Bacastow discussed Lulli's musical career, and Wilma Hauser pointed out the different Revolutionary songs of France. Louise Benshoof served re- freshments. On March 25 Miss Hawley told of her voy- age to Europe. She showed her scrapbook and collection of foreign dolls. The junior college's newest language or- ganization, the Sparnish club, completed a successful year this spring. Because of the current interest in South America, Spanish was offered in the junior college for the first time this year. Miss Anne Hawley, junior college language instructor, was well fitted to teach the course, since she taught school several years in Mexico. Donald Ecroyd was president, and Edwina Crane succeeded Elaine Shaw as vice presi- dent and program chairman the second sem- ester. Betty Lou Barnes served as secretary- treasurer and Wanda Watkins as reporter. Juco students who had taken Spanish dur- ing high school were eligible for the club as well as those who were enrolled in the course. In the various meetings held in the college clubrooms, different students brought many interesting reports on Spanish life in the Southwestern United States and Mexico. At one meeting, Miss Hawley told of her experiences in Merida, Yucatan. Spanish games such as pinata and ucanasta de fru- tas were enjoyed by members of the club. These games gave an idea of Spanish cus- toms, and helped students increase their Spanish vocabularies. Members of the cub bought copies of Can- ciones Popularesf' a book of popular songs,'f and sang them at the meetings. All monthly Spanish club meetings supplemented the re- gular Spanish class in stressing Latin-Amer- ican customs and manners in connection with the Spanish langauge. mmm Glad The juco German club sponsored by Miss Anne Hawley, German instructor, Was the largest of any language club in ACJC. The male majority of the organization seemed to rule with an all boy group of of- ficers. Gerald Walker, sophomore, was elec- ted president. Vice president was Sam Crain, high school senior. Bill Ledeker was chosen secretary and treasurer. Wanda Watkins was given the honorary position of die Ziege, the goat! Her committee was com- posed of Bonner Ruff, Bob Morgan, Bill Miller and Grant Cole. The group held its regular meeting, con- sisting of a short business session followed by a longer program and refreshments, the third Tuesday of each month. This date was changed in February to the second Wednes- day of each month. The first meeting of the year was at the home of Bill Miller on December 16. The second program was a musical one with Bonner Ruff accompanying the group singing of German songs. Miss Pauline Sleeth presented the third program, a mov- ing picture of her trip through Germany. Wanda Watkins furnished refreshments. The fourth meeting of the year was a short business session only im order that the group might attend the college club room party. Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuf- fet, Eating her curds and wheyg Little Jack Horner sat in the cor- ner The Fool! l ! . -Chanute Tatler 7170014 Gafmf Ga I ' fhaqaam The juco YWCA continued its active work the second semester. During these Weeks a fiftydollar bond was purchased, and many books were sent to a mission at Westpoint, Mississippi. General meetings were held each first and third Mondayg cabinet meetings were held each second Mondayg and committee meet- ings Were held each fourth Monday. Several vacancies were filled in the offices of the club. Mary K. Quinn was elected de- -votion chairman, Wilma Hutchinson acted as publicity chairman, and Ruth Akers, presi- dent, Dorothy Moody, vice presidentg Wilma Hutchinsofn, secretaryg and Mary K. Quinn, treasurer. The juco YWCA entertained the club mem- bers' mothers with a valentine banquet Feb- ruary 16 at the Congregational Church. A welcome was given by Virginia Taylor, and the response was delivered by Mrs. Moody. Mrs. Tilbury presented a talk on what is ex- pected of an American Christian girl today. Florine Turman gave a reading. Several outstanding speakers were heard at the regular club meetings. On April 6, Mrs. Jones of Chilocco told about the young girls of Palestine. She wore a native costume from there. Mrs. Gardner gave an interesting talk on the Bible April 20. ,The YWCA is sponsored by Miss Sleeth and Miss Hall. The KansasStateEmploymentService office is urging students to come in and register for employment, a representa- tive said last Week. The officers point out that the-re will be jobs not only for boys, but for girls as Well. The 'boys will be able to find jobs of all sorts and sizes particularly in farm Work.
