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.

,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.

DEFA TEQS BRING HUME BACON AS' USUAL The junior college has been outstanding in the past years in debate and forensics, and this year's squad has continued the re- cord of fine showings. 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?
