Independence Junior College was founded in 1926 and since that time has been a fully accredited institution. Recognition by accrediting authorities entails certain obligations. The Class of 1937 has not failed to fulfill those traditions of the school. In accordance with the usual custom class officers were chosen at the beginning of the school year. Those being victorious at the polls were: Dean Summers, president, Tom Yoe, vice-presidentg Mary Jane Mibeck, secretary: and Caroline DeMotte, treasurer. ' Sophomores provided the driving power for every school activity through their greater experience despite their numerical inferiority to the freshmen. The class was well represented on the state championship football team. The basketball team was composed wholly of upperclassmen, and second year men provided the nucleus for the track team. In non-athletic endeavor the sophomores' star shone even more brightly. It was a sophomore who supplied the punch for a successful debate squad and enabled it to make the trip to California. A sophomore served as the national president of Phi Theta Kappa, junior college honorary scholastic fraternity. Pep Club, Sock and Buskin, and Engineering Club were all led by sophomores, Second year men took the male leads in the operetta. After two years of trials and tribulations, joys and successes, this class is preparing to leave the dear ole insitution and pass on to other things, some higher, others lower. It passes with great expectations for what the of its record, feels that it has added to all the things that make this college outstanding. Before bowing its last farewell, the sophomore class wishes to thank the faculty, administration, tax payers, and freshmen for the splendid opportunities and fellowship they have furnished. Page 13 future may hold, but not without a pang of regret. It is proud, not ashamed, INKAIXICDLJII.

Y.l FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Freshman Class i I-listory Lower 2 2 I . riar, i , V ei-.' row D Vore sec et y Baker treasur- Freshman, because they do not possess the experience of upperclassmen, cannot lay claim to the lion's share of school offices. But because they number more than any other class they may claim to supply the push without which college life and activities would be overly dull. This year's freshman class considers itself fresh only in college ex- perience and the attitude of a few of its members. In ability it is anything but fresh. Rather it has been tried and not found wanting. That is not a blind assertion, but a statement that is borne out by the facts. Of the championship football squad a large majority were freshmen, two making the all-state team. Freshmen furnish the backbone of a squad that is expected to make an excellent record in track. But the reputation of the class does not rest on athletic prowess alone. Flimsy is the structure of any organization that makes physical endeavor its sole foundation. The class furnished a normal number of Phi Theta Kappas. It is interesting and commendatory from a freshman view point to note that the top notch forensic squad was comprised almost wholly of frosh. In the long run it is useless to outline the achievements of a class. Time will prove its quality or lack of it. Self laudation is likely to be labeled pure stuff and nonsense. For that reason this class is content with the knowledge that any virtues it may possess will come to light by their own ability. And in the meanwhile it sets itself about the problem of looking to the future. Fully realizing the handicap that many of its members will not return next year, it is charting its course for the objective of excelling the achievement record of any graduating class in the history of Independence junior college.

And one rightly finds such a fact true, for the student council is the only agency through which student self- government may function. Through it student opinion may be voiced, grievances presented, and solutions sought. Adopted in 19.34 the constitution provides for a representative member- ship drawn from the three main groups of the school-freshman and sophomore classes and administration. Through the council each group may obtain a fair hearing for its problems before the other two. Membership consists of a president, vice-president, secretary, sergeant- at-arms, commissioners from each class, the two class presidents, two faculty advisors, and a representative of the administration. Embryo politicians and statesmen for the year were: Frederick Beal, president, Ernest' Miller, vice-president, Bob Stewart, secretaryg Richard Arey. sergeant-at-armsg Ruth Helman, sophomore commissionerg Leroy Veith, fresh- man commissionerg Dean Summers, sophomore presidentg and Bill Wade, freshman president. Mr. Ralph Pearson and Mr. S. A. Maust represented the faculty while Assistant Dean F. C. Myers tended to administration interests. All is not honor for victors in the school election. Responsibilities are not heavy enough to cause any to turn gray, but ample work is provided to make members mindful of their positions. Largest project of the year was probably the holiday celebrating the winning of the football championship by the council included a pep rally, skating party, picnic, dance, and picture show. Members are indirectly responsible for the success or failure of the Inkanquil as they nominate staff candidates in the fall. More than a little responsiblity for sponsoring the all-college banquet falls on the council. Because if the absence of estabished political parties in the college, campaigns are not long and heated. However, on election day much interest is evinced, and flowery, partisan speeches are the order of the day.

Phi Theta Kappa Brain busters of the school tend to become segregated in Phi Theta Kappa because it is the national junior college scholastic fraternity. Probably no other organizadon in school has such rigourous requirenunws and is so exclusive. Indicative of the present high standards of scholarship novv being done by'the student body is the fact that the chapter runy has nineteen nunnbers, not far from the maximum allowed which is ten per cent of the student body. Two members, Carman Witt and Ardath Cauble, are not shown in the picture above Because one of its members, Tom Yoe, was privileged to serve as national president of the fraternity, the project that shoved all others into the back- ground this year was that of raising money to send the whole chapter to Little Rock, Arkansas, for the national convention of Phi Theta Kappa. The success of that one project made the year a success. By sponsoring tummrnovies during the year the local group yvas able to raise enough money to pay the transportation and hotel bills of all who wished to go. As a resuhxlndependence had the second largest delegation at the con- vention with sixteen and their sponsor, Mr. Ralph Pearson. Three were un- able to attend because of participation in the operetta. Seven nunnbers were in school at the beginning of the year in the faH four sophomores were pledged, and in the second semester six freshmen were taken in. Just before the convention, April 7-9, two more sophomores were elected by a faculty committee. Officers for the past year were: Tom Yoe, presidentg Frederick Beal, vice president Ruth Helman, secretary, and Edward Davis, treasurer. The Phi Theta Kappa here mdshes to express Us deepest gradtude to Mr Pearson the administration, the student body, and all the others whose cooperation made it possible for the chapter to make the Little Rock trip.

School plays are events that rank along with the big games in interest. Were it not for the Thespians who spend many long evenings rehearsing so that the people might be entertained, college life would be dull indeed. Dramatics clubs have many names to choose from. Sock and Buskin is the appellation chosen by the actors of Independence Junior College several years ago. Membership is selective in that participation in actual productions is necessary. Sock and Buskin has been unusually active this year, presenting alone or in conjunction with the high school two long and two short plays. Last fall Sock and Buskin displayed its ability for comedy by furnishing one of the most hilarious, side splitting convocations ever given when it had its public initiation. Neophytes demonstrated their aptitude by presenting short scenes from Shakespeare. December 15 was the date of the first long play. At that time The Mad Hopes was given. This three act comedy told of the trials and tribula- tions of a once wealthy family that could not come down to earth and forget its extravagant ways. A happy ending was provided by the marriage of Mrs. Hope to a wealthy financier. The Night of January 16th presented March 15 and 16 furnished the second vehicle. It was presented with the help of the high school. All action occurred in a court room where the secretary of Bjorn Faulkner was on trial for the murder of her employer. A jury was impaneled from the audience each night. The first performance resulted in a victory for the defense. The second night the jury returned a verdict of guilty for the prosecution. Officers for the year were: Clarence Webb, president, Brice Goodwin The club is extremely grateful to Miss Anna Ingleman who so ably and painstakingly directed all the plays.

Zeta Zeta Literary Society boasts one of the longest and most eventful his- tories of any college organization. Formed in 1926, it soon affiliated itself with the Pen and Scroll Club at the University of Kansas. Since its birth Zeta has stood steadfast to its purpose of stimulating interest in creative writing and the study of good literature. Membership is restricted in that acceptable manuscripts are required of applicants for membership. For admittance one must present forty lines or one thousand lines of prose at either the fall or winter tryouts. Successful candidates are initiated both formally and informally, sign the scroll, and are privileged to wear the Zeta pin. Zeta meetings were held on alternate Tuesday evenings in Nees Hall throughout the school year. Although strict formality was absent, a definite theme was evident in the year's program. This year the programs were built around the study of recent literary prize winners. Reviews and discussions of the works of O Neill, Galsworthy, Sinclair Lewis, and others have been noteworthy. Appropriate music gave variety and atmospheric effects to programs. In accordance with the usual custom. Zeta had only one guest speaker this year. Miss Mae Stannard of Cherryvale presented a program on Indian art. During the second semester a number of members let themselves go and wrote original manuscripts which were read. Believing as do most sensible organizations, that all work and no play makes Jack and Jill excessively dull , two major social events were held for members and their guests. At Christmas there was a dinner and gift exchange. The tiaditional informal formal spring banquet was held in April. Officers for the past year were: Naida Sharpe, presidentg Ardath Cauble. piogi am chanmang Flo Jackson, social chairman, and Miss Mary Humphreys, sponsel Page 32 - vice-president: Jenny Mae Stewart, secretary-treasurerg Jessie Bradbury. .ilNKANQUIL ENGINEERING Cllll IB X We 'lop row: Chaney, Crum W.tt, O'Brf:.1, Plitvr, Songgr, Veill..

Engineering Club A school is analogous to an automobile-the steering gear is the faculty, the wheels represent the taxpayers' money on which the school runs, and the motor and chassis are the students. But a good set of spark plugs is necessary if the motor is to run smoothly, and the Engineers justly claim the title of the Spark Plugs of l. J. C. To a college man interested in this profession. the Engineering Club is an important part of his school work. Through membership in this organ-- ization he can better choose the field in engineering for which he wishes to prepare himself. During the past year the organization has made visits to nearly all the important industrial plants in this district. These include the Atlas Portland Cement Company, the Atchison Revolving Door Company. and The Great Lakes Pipe Line pumping station in Independence: and the Sinclair Refinery, the 0. C. S, company. the Acme Foundry. and radio station KGGF. The outstanding event of the year, however, was the 'four-day inspection tour during April in which the members visited Kansas State College, thc University of Kansas. and the various major industries. Part of the expenses for this trip were earned by the Hay Hickey pre- sented by the club for the school students on March 25. The combination barn dance and carnival was so popular with students that it will become an annual affair. The main attraction was the election of Queen Esmeralda I. The win- ning candidate was 'Virgina Cole. The last activity of the club during the year was the banquet held in May at the Booth Hotel. Much of the success ofthe club during this year is due to the efforts of the president, Kenneth Brooks. The other officers were Charles Miller, vice presidentg Lawson ltunyon, secretary-treasurerg and J. H. Bowen and I.. O. Heckethorn, faculty advisors.

Forensics Last year Coach Robertson Strawn experienced phenomenal success in his first year at Independence Junior College. His success of last year has been rivaled only by the success of this year's debate squad. His two year's 'record here is silent testimony to Coach Strawn's ability to get the best from his debaters. When the first call for debate was issued last September, more than twenty-five college students answered. But as the mo1'e arduous training began, the squad melted away to a mere fraction of that number. But the smaller number permitted more intensive work, and the current edition were gluttons for punishment. An invitational tournament at Fort Scott was the first meet in which Pirate orators showed proficiency. Through the combined efforts of the squad they finished second with a winning per cent of seventy. At Winfield, in a tourney sponsored by St. John's College, the combined efforts of Edward Davis, Margaret Jean Thompson, and Bill Wade earned first place in the sweepstakes by a large margin. Top form was reached in the state tournament at Hutchinson. Margaret Jean Thompson and Edward Davis swept through the men's division without a defeat to win the state championship. In the individual events Pirate speakers also scored heavily, Bill Wade winning the reading contest, Maxine Lawson first in after dinner speaking, Edward Davis second in the men's division of that event. Immediately after the winning of the state championship for the second year in succession and the fourth time in the past five years, the squad began a campaign to raise funds to attend the national tournament at Long Beach. California. The tongue twisters exercised their persuasive powers so skillfully that S125 was obtained from merchants and a like amount from the college to make the trip. The results are reported in the Phi Rho Pi story. One can hardly challenge the assertion that no other sport at I. J. C. has been so successful over a long period as debate. Page 34 -aEEaNKANQUlEEE?'

'l'h0mPSOD, Wiidv- Vvlth- PhiRho Pi All lines of endeavor are represented by organizations. For it is through an organization that those excelling in each field may be better re- cognized and superiority in that line promoted. Forensics qualifies to be called ,a separate endeavor by having its own organization. Phi Rho Pi is the national honorary junior college forensic fraternity. As might be guessed from the above paragraph, its purpose is to create interest in forensic achievement by giving recognition to those who excell in the various public speaking activities. Because of the high standards required of participants in a not too crowded field, the fraternity is not large. This year only the following four were pledged: Stewart DeVore, Margaret Jean Thompson, Leroy Veith, and Bill Wade. The returning members were Edward Davis, Ruth Helman, Maxine Lawson, and Donald Reed. Honorary members of the local chapter are Supt. J. H. Clement, Dean E. R. Stevens, and Asst. Dean F. C. Myers. The high spot in the year's program was the trip to the national Phi Rho Pi convention held at Long Beach, California, March 22-25. In the speech tournament held in connection with the convention the Independence debaters placed among the six high ranking junior colleges in the United States. The local delegation consisted of Edward Davis, Margaret Jean Thompson, Leroy Veith, Maxine Lawson, Stewart DeVore, and Coach Robertson Strawn. Earlier in the year, December 18, the Independence chapter was host to an invitational debate tournament. Twenty-five teams from Parsons, Chanute, Fort Scott, Coffeyville, and Independence participated. The officers for the past year have been: Donald Reed, presidentg Ed- ward Davis, vice-president, and Maxine Lawson, secretary-treasurer. Two sophomores received the highest honor of the fraternity when they were presentd with diamond pins for their outstanding work. The re- cipients were Edward Davis and Maxine Lawson.

A. and the desire to uphold its purpose in one's life were the requirements for membership put before all college women last fall. To make the existence of the club known to all, the year's activities began with a rush week consisting of parties and picnics of a get acquainted nature. About forty signed membership cards. Keeping in mind the real purpose of the organization, To promote and practice Christianity , the club at Thanksgiving prepared two large baskets for needy families. Likewise at Christmas another family received food. clothing, toys, and a decorated tree. Candy sales, the book exchange, dues, and a gold cross sale supplied the revenue for these and other projects. Social events were not absent from the calender. Conspicuous were a Christmas caroling party and a skating party with the Y. M. C. A. The climax to the year's program was furnished by the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet in the spring. Bi-monthly meetings consisted of discussions of political, economic, religious, and social subjects adequately sprinkled with entertainment. Both members and guest speakers led the discussions. Frequently joint meetings were held with the Y. M. The local association is a member of the state organization of junior college Y. lV.'s. In October fourteen members and Miss Clara McCluney, the sponsor, attended the annual state conference at Fort Scott. In April the local group took its turn in publishing the Y's World , the monthly organ of the state association. Work of social service committees furnished the theme of that issue. Several members who attended the Rocky Mountain Conference at Estes Park last summer brought home so many ideas and enthusiastic reports that a great deal of interest has been aroused. The result is that an Estes Club has been formed for the purpose of raising funds so that all interested may attend this summer. Reports indicate that once one has gone to Estes, that person is an Estes fan for life. Page 36 . -- .,T...-I'-IlXlKANC2L,IlI.:.-..: Y. M. C. A.

A College life is not complete without a many sided program of activities. The Y. M. C. A. supplies one side of the program of Independence Junior Col- lege. Its part and importance in college are attested by the fact that there were this year thirty-five enrolled members. In addition others attended occasion- ally as meetings were open to all. No particular theme was used throughout the school year, programs being planned to meet the current situations. Guest speakers who could present authoritative information upon their subject were often heard. Some of those appearing were: Rev. Harold Humbert, Rev. Paul Barnds, Mr. Carleton Hyde, Dr. James G. Hughbanks, Dr. R. G. Carter, and Chuck Hulac, secretary of the Rocky Mountain Region. In keeping with the spiritual aims of the association, a short devotional period was held each meeting in which emphasis was laid upon bible study. Christ's Sermon on the Mount furnished the basis for many devotions. Following the suggestion of present day youth leaders, many joint activi- ties with the Y. W. C. A. were planned in both the social and intellectual Spheres. Carol singing, a skating party, and Christmas party supplied the social affairs. Joint meetings were held almost monthly. During the fall semester an innovation was introduced in the form of night meetings during alternating weeks with the regular bi-weekly meetings. This program, usually followed by a swim, proved popular. Some of the members are now making a determined effort to attend the Y. M.-Y. W. Conference at Estes Park, Colo., in early June. Those attending in the past have brought back such a wealth of information and glowing reports that many are interested. Under the capable sponsorship of Mr. Paul Twining and leadership of Don Reed, the club experienced a rebirth of interest. One must avoid the use of superlatives in passing judgement, but the 1936-37 edition of the Y. M. was a more wide awake organization than those of recent years.

In fact, it is the standard -formula. But at the risk of having some nasty epithets hurled at us for the same triteness that we lament, we cannot help handing out a few bouqets. It has been our priviledge to edit three annuals. In that time we have had some really good staff members. Some were bad, too, and others mediocre. We can't truthfully say that this year's staff has been the best ever, but we can say that it is in no way inferior to the others. Hooking up with his old partner from Orange and Black days Tom Baehl backed up the editor and really did up the business manager's job in style. His knowledge of printing made him doubly Valuable. As his assistant Betty Emens proved a capable ad getter. Dick Arey brought with him a year's experience as editor which enabled him to know the ropes of the assistant's job. Flo Jackson's supply of jokes seemed never to become exhausted. Mary Kane said Npresto change and conjured up two car- toon pages while John O'Brien was holding down the sports desk. Friend of the publicity seekers and bane of the dignified, Margaret Lynch and her woman Friday , Maxine Lippy, kept the candid camera hot. But the real posies must go to Mr. F. C. Myers, sponsor of the Inkanquil, and Mr. Marlin Reppert. It is the former who figures out the innumerable little details that would make our job tough if we did them. It is he who has to make the income and outgo balance. And the forgotten man is Mr. Reppert. He doesn't get his picture, in, but without his help none of us would even have an annual. The headache of printing it is his, and we don't envy him. So to all concerned, thanks a million , and we hope you like the book. Page 38 1.T .

Pep Club A mere uniformed body whose sole ability is to furnish lung power is something that the Pep Club is not. Rather one might liken its function to that of yeast. Yeast is essential to an edible loaf of breadg likewise pep and enthu- siasm are essential to well-balanced school life. Yeast must be mixed with the dough, and the Pep Club comparably cooperates with the school. Its activities furnish the best justification for its existence. To get acquainted with all college women, the club began the year with an informal tea. Later the old members met with their sponsor, Miss Elizabeth Oggel, and elected eighteen new members from the local and out-of-town girls of both freshmen and sophomore classes. The whole group elected Caroline DeMotte president and Mary Jane Mibeck secretary-treasurer. Besides fulfilling the regular functions of attending the all-college activities and taking charge of pep assemblies, the club supported numerous special events. Early in the fall it furnished a drill for the home-coming game celebration held in Chanute. Later, at the Booth Hotel, it feted the champion Pirate gridders. At that banquet Virginia Cole was crowned football queen. Mary Kane furnished the victory decorations '. In the spring, the champion- ship forensic squad was served a covered-dish supper in the Y. W. C. A. rooms the evening before its departure for Long Beach, Calif. Still later the club assisted in sponsoring the all-college banquet. Like yeast, the Pep Club never dies, but each year leaves a nucleus, consisting of the freshmen members and sponsor. This nucleus, as a club, lies dormant until the next year, when it awakens and produces another Pep Club, the potential leaven of the student body. To appreciate the true value of the organization, the college would have to experience a year Without it. And ye ed believes such an experience wguld prove disasterous. Page 39 'l ICNKANQUII.-l?

Coach Ira Stockebrand had a nucleus of only five lettermen around which to build his team, a team that later proved to be the most successful in the history of Independence junior college. Never before has the college had a championship grid team, the 1932 edition reigning as co-champs with Hutchinson. The Pirates made their debut and surprised even their most optimistic rooters when they defeated the Pittsburg Teachers' Reserves 15 to 0. This game was unique in that it was the first time in several years that a field goal had been made by an Independence team. Dean Summers, Pirate fullback, made a place kick. Parsons proved an easy opponent. Touchdowns by Sicks and Jackson and two field goals from the toe of Summers made an easy 18 to 3 victory. In a thrilling, breath-taking game the Pirates squeezed out a 13-6 win over the potent Fort Scott Greyhounds. The latter had been tagged as likely conference champs and were slated to hand the locals a decisive defeat. Although scoring first, the Greyhounds could not cope with determined second and fourth quarter, field-long, touchdown marches by the Pirates. Eldorado put up a good fight as the locals suffered a let down from the previous hard game. But by passing and the interception of an enemy aerial, the Stockebrand men eked out a 13-6 win. Chanute, playing its first year in the league, was no match for the championship bound Pirates, succumbing by a 44-6 score. Eddie Jackson ran wild this game. Although drawing first blood in the Hutchinson game when Sicks went over for a touchdown in the first few minutes, the Pirates were overpowered as the Dragons came back and counted two six-pointers to win 13-6. Iola's Red Devils held the future champs scoreless in the first half of the Armistice Day game, but the not-to-be-denied Independence eleven came back in the second half to score 20 points to their opponent's 6. However, the Independence Pirates had to defeat Coffeyville the league leaders, to remain in the race. When the Ravens invaded the local stadium. they were top-heavy favorites. Their first quarter rush seemed to vindicate predictions. But the Corsairs made a comeback and completely outplayed the visitors the remainder of the game. A scoreless tie, which would doom title hopes, seemed in the offing when with only a few minutes left, Rusty ' Burns got off a 65-yard punt to put the Ravens back on their own 2-yard line. On the next play Independence scored a safety. When the final whistle blew, the Corsairs were touchdown bound. The following week Coffeyville obligingly handed Hutchinson a shel- lacking, and the Pirates became state champions. Orman Wren, Jack Wiggins, and Ershall Ballard were named on the all-conference team. Dean Summers, Eddie Jackson, and Ernie Miller made the second team. Frank Sicks, who was the sparkplug on offense and a bulwark on defense, proved to be the forgotten man. But his ability was recognized by his team-mates when they elected him the most valuable man . Orman Honey ' Wren was elected honorary captain. Page 41 -l,, 1 l INKAIXIQUII. BASKETBALL llli I p row: Thornton, Yue, Condon, Webb. M'lIer, Stcckebland, ccrch.

They didn't even win half their games, their league record showing a great deal of red ink. But comparitively speaking, the season was a success. When this year's record is stacked up against that of last year which showed one early season victory followed by seventeen defeats, there is no cause for tears. Only two Pirate court squads have won more games since 1930. Because Independence is cursed with a court built for midgets. It is impossible to attract outstanding players from out-of-town. Because of the lack of space, the team seems never able to learn to work plays on the small court. The handicap of the poor playing floor is attested by the fact that the Corsairs consistently played better away from home on larger courts. The season was started with four non-conference victories. The rather easv victims were the Cherrvvale Presbyterians, Neodesha American Legion, Alumni. and Sapulpa. Okla., junior college. Chanute invaded the local court for the league opener. Although the visitors played ragged ball, the Pirates could not take advantage of the breaks and played even more raggedly to lose 26-49. The next week the team took a two day road trip to Fort Scott and Kansas Citv. At the former town a good game was played, but the final gun found the Pirates on the short end of the score. The Kansas City game was the bright spot of the year. For over eighteen conference games the locals had been seeking victory. In an exciting second half in which the lead changed six times, the Corsairs came from behind to win 34-32. Coffeyville nearly became another victim the following week, but the .Tavatowners got hot with a vengeance in the last few minutes while the Ijayseers became exceedingly cold. Result: Coffeyville 30, I. J. C. 24. Returning to winning form the next week the Pirates journeyed to Iola and eked out a 28-24 win over the Red Devils. With the exception of a thriller on the home court that netted a win over Eldorado by a count of 34 to 32, the rest of the season was a string of defeats. In some games the Pirates played well, often holding a half time lead. But the absense of strong reserves, a handicap that most of the other teams did not have, proved too great. and the locals wilted in the second half. Four Independence boys, Frank Sicks, Clarence Webb, Bob Stewart, and Tom Yoe won their second letters and teamed up with Ernie Miller, another letterman, to form the starting five that played several games without sub- stitutions. ' 'll Finishing next to the cellar in the standings, the Pirates might have done better if games had been scheduled with the weaker far western teams. As it was. a long, hard schedule was played almost entirely against the stronger eastern squads. Because of their low place in the standings, the Corsairs were over- looked when it came to choosing all-star teams. However, Yoe, Webb, Miller, Stewart. and Sicks all received honorable mention. Scoring was usuallv fairlv well divided with the front line of Miller, Webb, and Yoe bearing the brunt of the offensive work. Sicks and Stewart. the guards, excelled on defense.

Pirates track and fieldsters' superiority is demonstrated by their winning of state championships in 1935 and '36 and a strong chance of making it three in a row this year. To close the '36 season the Pirates brushed aside the Fort Scott Grey- hounds, pretenders to the throne, in the state meet for their second straight title. Bill Fowler starred by chalking up 19M points. In the interclass meet this year the sophomores eked out a win despite fine performances by Meade Smith and Rusty, Burns, the latter setting school records in the shot, discus, and javelin. Next in a triangular meet the Pirates counted 111 points to a combined Coffeyville and Miami total of 46. Burns bettered the state record in the discus while Smith turned in 21.8 in the 220. Another decisive Independence triumph came in a triangular meet with Coffeyville and Parsons. Smith tied the school record of 10.1 in the century dash. Score of the Baker Relays: I. J. C.-313 Fort Scott-14, Kemper-135. Burns hurled the discuss 145' 10152 put the shot 45'1 , and made a good jave- lin throw to set three meet records. I. J. C. now holds seven of the eight, Relay records. ' Invading Eldorado for a quadrangular meet with that school, Arkansas City, and Hutchinson, the Pirates almost doubled the score on their nearest opponent. Smith, running his first open 440 of the year, tied the school record. A veritable holocaust of records was a quadrangular meet with Eldorado, Paisons and Chanute. Meade Smith tied the national junior college 100-yd. dash record of 9.6 held jointly by Frank Wyckoff, member of the last three U S Olympic team, and several others. He also ran a 21.7 furlong dash to a 45 8 put the Javelin with an 183' 2 heave. and the discus with an 142' toss of the platter Page 44 1- . I better the state record.

For years Pirate linksmen have been rulers in this part of the conference. Because of the plendtude of good golf courses h1Independence,thereis a steady streaniof practiced and experienced golfers pouring into the college. Because of this fact, I. J. C. has come out on the short end of the score fewfthnes in past years This year has been no exception to established precedent. Although only a few meets have been scheduled this year, due to a number of factors- golf is a minor sport and not all schools have teamsg golf is all outgo and no incorneg bad vveather-the Corsairs boast a perfect record. The invading Chanute pill swatters were turned back decisively in the first meet of the year at the Rajah Country Club, where all home matches were played. This was no mean feat as Chanute, although playing her firs: year in junior college competition, has long had skilled golfers in her high schooL The same week the Pirates played host to the Fort Scott devotees of the ancient Scottish game. And again the enemy was sent home with a stinging defeat To prove that their first victory was no fluke, the next week the locals betook themselves to Fort Scott and plastered a 9-3 defeat on the Greyhounds. Several other rnatches yvere to be played before the close of the season. Rod Wakeland played in the number one position all year. Number two man was Frank Sicks, who Won four letters in each of his college years. Kenneth Brooks and Bill Wade were three and four men respectively. Page 45 lNKANQUILl..l- , TENNIS TEAM l Arey Wicks Beal Shepard Tennis Tennis is a minor spring sport. Little attention is paid it by the student body, so often the public does not know the ability of the college tennis team. In the past years I. J. C. has had some strong teams, but this year and last have been lean years. Because some of the outstanding and experienced players of the school have been occupied in track or by jobs, a green team has been put on the court. As a result the opponents usually emerged victorious. At the time of writing the school tournament had not been completed. However, Leland Shepard had advanced to the finals and was to play the winner of the Frank Wicks-Fred Beal match. The first meet of the year was held here against Coffeyville. The Java- town boys took revenge for football and track defeats by taking all four singles and both doubles matches. Chanute invaded the Pirate hideout next and the Black Panthers severe- ly clawed the locals. Leland Shepard won his singles match, while the other 'five were lost. Two days later a strong team from Fort Scott came to town and really 'went to townv. Only bright spot for Corsair netsters was the doubles victory of Shepard and Wicks over Leinhart and Peterson. The latter team last year won the Southeast Kansas League doubles championship and were seeded number one in the juco state meet this year. Tom Yoe, whose picture is not included, was a member of the team, while several others played in some matches. These were the only matches that were played at the time of going to press. But matches were scheduled with Fort Scott, Chanute, Coffeyville, and Eldorado. And as the season progressed it was hoped that local netsters would become more experienced and give a better account of themselves. No titles were expected in the state tournament, but it was hoped that Ijayseers would be able to upset the apple carts of some high flying title aspirants.
