% COLLEGE QUIPS As the school year progressed there became a demand for a publication of seme sort, thus the “College Quips again came to life in the form of a semi-monthly paper. During the first semester the paper was edited by Rebecca Rice and Kenneth Flagler. Then after the turn of the new year and as the second semester opened Nellie Marie Shultz took over the editorship. Membership on the staff is based upon interest and proficiency in the publication's field, and the members are chosen by the editors and a faculty advisor. It has been the endeavor of the staff to put out a de- sirable publication and one which the students would like. ☆ DRAMATICS CLUB The Junior College Dramatic Club “Strut and Fret was organized early in the fall. One-act plays have been studied and presented for other schools. Members include: Bonnie Baker. Bob Woodhouse. Jim Canon, W. H. Chase. Mary Ann Determan.

If there is a hearty demand for any sport, that sport is exercised if it is at all possible to do so. Since its first year of existence the junior college has fostered a tennis team. Each year the team enters the sports tournament of the Mistletoe Conference and each year at least one player managers to win some recognition at the tournament. This year the team was composed of Marjorie Lokens- gaid, Jerry Lambert, Albert Houle, Kenneth Flagler and Bob Woodhouse

C H I E FTA I N S The El Reno Junior College Chieftains started their 1941-42 basketball season with five players from last year’s team, two players from last year's high school team, and other recruits picked up around the school. The returning players were Raymond Wagner, A1 Mongold, Aldean Thompson. Willie Haile, and Kenneth Flagler. The two additions from the high school team were Joe Mongold and Roy Hahn. The other players were Jimmy Canon, Bob Woodhouse, Clifford Whiteman, and Floyd Martin. Due to transportation difficulties, the team was only able to schedule four Mistletoe Conference games; two with Okmulgee and the other two with Seminole. However, the Chieftains scheduled games with local teams and the Will Rogers Air Base of Oklahoma City. The Chieftains, under Coach Ross Cubbage, made their debut of the new season a glorious one by soundly thump- ing a Fort Reno team, 39 to 9. Several of the following games were not so enjoyable for the team, because Lady Luck did not throw her approval on the Chieftains as often as they would have liked to have her do so. There was no state junior college tournament this year due to the fact that several junior colleges have abandoned basketball, because of the transportation diffi- culties. and also, because of the lack of interest exhibited by some junior colleges who do have teams. The season’s record shows five wins and seven losses, but if jobs and Uncle Sam hadn’t called to some of the players, it would have been a much rosier season.
