9.011141 1 11:11 1 Cp iqioioioioioio College Extension The first two years, not unlike any other child, our school had to act, in a degree, by imitationg but no child, however small, lacks some originality. Its history is started, and, as the apostle said, it has now put away child- ish things. CThat is why I am forced to write this account.D Last year, and also this year, students from surrounding cities have enroll- ed in our college, and have indulged in the many activities which it affords. This fact gave someone an idea. And ideas, you know, are at a premium. But this particular idea hereinbefore alluded to, related to, pertained to, and had to do with the inauguration of booster trips. This year Assistant Dean Kirby was made chairman of the booster committee, and with the consent of the remaining members of the faculty and the student body, he chose his committee of four sophomores to work out plans for the booster trips. High schools within a radius of fifty miles round Cexcept those in the territories of other collegesj were visited, and short pro- grams, consisting of advertising speeches on our school and its activities, music by both men's and women's musical organizations, pep songs and yells were given. At the larger high schools, the girls' glee club presented the operetta, The Quest of the Gypsy, which was followed by a speech and some pep songS. And the happy part of it all is the fact that almost all of the young persons graduating from the high schools visited have decided to attend college somewhere, and not a few of them here at I. J. C. It is from the recruits gathered from these schools that Coach Kirby hopes to form the bulwark of his college football team next year. And the coach hopes that with these huskies, together with the letter men who will be back next year, will run up the Blue and Gold on the junior college flagpole as con- tenders for the state championship. ozoxioioioioim1102411010103uioinioiuirxzoioinioia110101via: 1 101411 ini 1 :nc Q.

INKANQUIL STAFF, 1927 Q Left to Right-Greenlee, Editorg Scott, Business Manager, Larery, Literary Editorg Salathiel, Feature Editorg Krebs, Kodaksg Weible, Assistant Editor, Prescott, Athletics. This Year's Staff It is with a feeling that is a compound of pride, joy and great relief that the Inkan- quil staff steps down and out, after bringing before you this, the second edition of the Inkanquil, It may be that we have improved upon the Inkanquil, to judge from last yearis book, it may be that we have failed to keep to the standard set last year, when our school was in its very infancy. But regardless of which of the two paths this little book has taken under our guidance, we have steered it as best we could. To those persons who are accustomed to get all the blame for faults in a book, and no praise for the merits-the printers-the staff tenders its heartiest of thanksg and particu- larly to Mr. M. F. Reppert, the printing in- structor in the Independence high school, do we acknowledge our indebtedness. The Ink- anquil added a great burden to the already Page 22 hard worked printers of the high school, and hence, the fact that the printers DID take the time to bring this edition of the Inkanquil before the public proves that our college has some true friends where she most needs them. If we were to attempt to make a roll of the names of each of those to whom we are thank- ful for assistance in publishing this year's Inkanquil , we would have no room for ad- vertisingg advertising pays the bills, and hence we shall go no farther. However, there are two college men who deserve particular recognition herein: Frank Clampitt and Rob- ert Patty. These two dapper gentlemen sallied out one bright morning, and in about two hours, had disposed of all the alloted ad- vertising space in this book. Clampitt is pur- suing a law course in college: he is trying to hide his light under a bushel in so doing.
