,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.

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!!

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.
