Many things have taken place since the memorable day in September, 1936, when 178, slightly bewildered but hopeful and confident freshmen met for the first time and were safely launched on their junior college career. The sophomore class has produced many leaders in all the activities, social, athletic, and scholastic. Besides being well represented on the twice state-championship football team, it has furnished a backbone for the hoop- sters and shining stars on the cinder track. Scholastic ability is not lacking as is evidenced by the number of sophomore members in Phi Theta Kappa, on the honor roll, and the forensic squad, composed mostly of sophomores, has proved its merit time and time again. The other activities including Sock and Buskin, Zeta, the Engineering club, Y. W. C. A., Y. M. C. A., and the Pep Club find many outstanding sophomore students in their ranks. The sophomores form a much valued nucleus for a new organization this year, the college orchestra. Although a few of those freshmen have fallen by thc wayside, 72 graduates, making up in quality whatever they may lack in quantity, will receive their sheepskins this spring. After these two years they have reached their goal and have become prepared to seek future, bigger goals with confidence and faith in themselves.

Patterson - - Secretary Bill Robinson ----- Treasurer Sue Sevier - - Assembly Representative Freshman Class History What will the future hold for the freshmen of 1938? No one can accurately answer this question but no doubt difficult and unanticipated problems will arise which the chosen leaders and the public will have to solve. Some of the present freshmen will be outstanding in their later lives and become the leaders and thinkers in organizations of the coming day. Many of them will be a part of the great public upon whose shoulders weighty problems will rest. In order to make wise leaders and cooperating followers, it is the purpose of this college, or any college, to prepare the way for the lives ahead of these students. Each student should take advantage of these opportunities offered. The exercises of graduation from high school were called commencement and the freshman year in college is really the beginning of a new attitude and apprecia- tion of life. The freshmen everywhere are looking ahead and are willing to put forth effort so that their generation may be worth while and have something to its credit in the pages of history.

' Pwr i ' Student Council Stanley Porter - President Stewart DeVore - Vive-President Jane Cowles - Secretary George Jones - Sergeant-at-arms After a heated campaign, the elect- ed officers developed a spirit of co- operation and initative which produced a new program for building school spir- it. The first activity of the council was the sponsoring of a victory day cele- bration in honor of our Juco state football championship. The council's biggest project was the planning and financing the Collegian Room . After surveying present opportunities, the council submitted a questionnaire to the student body to determine popular opinion on the proposed project. The survey pointed out that the students favored a tag sale to fianance the fur- nishing of the room. The proceeds of this sale with contributions made by the Collegians and the Lions club made possible the purchase of a radio, a glider, and four spring-steel chairsg all of which add to the pleasure and comfort of the Collegian Room . Although the Collegian Room is not complete, the student council is proud of its work, and the cooperation which it has received from the admini- stration, sponsors, and the student body. It is hoped that this recreational project will be carried on with great enthusiam, and that the coming student councils will be industrious and aggres- sive in promoting a growing school spirit.

This purpose is that of promoting scholarship, developing char- acter, and cultivating friendship among students. Our local chapter, Beta Omega, the first to be chartered in Kansas, was organized in the spring of '33 with five active mem- bers. This year there were also five members composing the nucleus of the organization at the beginning of school in the fall. After the first nine weeks five sophomores were taken in and at the end of the semester six freshmen and two sophomores were pledged. The national convention was held in St. Joseph. Mo., March 30, 31, and April 1, with a Beta Omega delegation of four- teen including the sponsor, Ralph S. Pearson. The outstanding business feature of the convention was the presentation of the plan for a national magazine. This magazine is to be issued quar- terly, and the national organization appropriated twelve hundred dollars for the project. The money is to be raised by soliciting from each active member a fifty cent annual magazine fee and five dollars from each chapter. The balance is to be taken from the general fund. A paid editor, the person ranking highest among the applicants, is to be appointed by a committee composed of national officers. The primary purpose of this magazine is to knit the chap- ters together in to a national organization. Next year the conven- tion is to be held in Monroe, La.

This club was first organized in 1928 and has continued up to the present with but one lapse of two year. This year the college dramatists were helpful in presenting the all-school play, The Eyes of Tlaloc , a mystery story of the Arizona border. Six of the twelve characters were from the college dramatics department. Several short plays were prepared for C011- vocation and other progams. Among these were The Hypotheti- cal Case , It's a Gift , and The Ace Is Trumped . The all college play was presented on April 8, to a small but appreciative audi- ence. This story, about a cruel old maid, was entitled Double Door , and contained all college characters except one. Requirements for membership were that the person should have made a public appearance in either one long or two short plays. Several students were taken into the organization during the latter part of the year and their pictures are not included in the above group.

Its pur- pose has been to stimulate interest in creative writing and in the reading of good literature. In order to admit only those persons really interested in read- ing and writing, Zeta restricts its membership to students whose original manuscripts have been accepted by the membership com- mittee. Contemporary Authors was this year's program theme. Two meetings have been devoted to each of six types of litera- ture: drama, poetry, short-story, novel, biography, and travel, In order to carry out the other part of Zeta's two-fold purpose, the program committee planned to have two original manuscripts read at each meeting. In its infancy Zeta published a magazine, The Lark , made up of contributions from the members, but this project was dis- continued several years ago. Since then Zeta has had once a year, a page in The Student. This year poems and short-stories by the members have been printed at intervals in a Zeta column.

Engineering Robert Perkins - - President George Chaney Vice-president Herbert Huston - Secretary Raymond Etter ---- Treasurer The Engineering club of I. J. C. was organized in 1932, its purpose being to acquaint its members with various practical engineering problems. The club, which consisted of nine old and twenty new members, met every two weeks throughout the school year. The programs were of a varied nature, but all pertained to the subjects of engineering. During the past year the organization made visits to nearly all of the most important industrial plants in this community. These inspections included the Atlas Portland Cement company, Atchison Revolving Door company, and the Sinclair Refinery, O. C. S. Company, and the Acme Foundry located in Coffeyville. The outstanding event of the year as far as the organization was concerned, was the annual four-day inspection tour during the month of April when the members visited Kansas State Col- lege of Agriculture and Applied Science at Manhattan, University of Kansas at Lawrence, and Kansas City industrial spots. Part of the expenses for this trip was met by the hold- ing of a Hay Hickey by the club for the school students on March 25. This was the second annual Hay Hickey to be held by the organization and it appears that this event will become an annual affair. The main attraction of the Hay Hickey, which is a combin- ation barn dance and carnival, was the election and crowning of Queen Bonney of the Barnloft .

Page 39 Forensics The forensic team has again been able to bring honors to the Independence junior college. These honors were won in invi- tational tournaments, the state tournament, and the national Phi Rho Pi tournament. At the Fort Scott invitational tournament, Independence was awarded the first place trophy as a result of excellent debating. In the state tournament, held at Chanute, Independence won several honors. All of the Independence entries in after-dinner speaking survived the preliminaries and participated in the finals held at the tournament banquet. In women's after-dinner speaking both first and second prizes were won by Independence entries. First and fourth were won by Pirate humorists in the men's after-dinner speaking contest. Third place was won in the orator- ical contest at the state meet. In the debate, an I. J. C. team placed fourth in this tourney. Perhaps the greatest honor of the year came in the national Phi Rho Pi tournament, held at Norman, Oklahoma, when Mar- garet Jean Thompson and Stanley Porter were chosen as the highest ranking team of the experimental debate division of the tournament, to help in a demonstration of experimental debating before the convention. During the year members of the forensic team have won five individual and team trophies, which places this team among the better teams in the history of the Independence junior college.

Loretta Sanderson - Secretary Frances Burford - Treasurer After a rush week of parties and pic- nics, the local chapter of the state Young Women's Christian Association had a membership roll of about forty women students. The purpose of this organization is to promote and prac- tice Christianity . This year's activities of the Y.W.C.A. have included the preparation of bas- kets for needy families at both Christmas and Thanksgiving, Club parties, banquets, and the bi-monthly programs. These programs were given over to talks by members as well as outside speakers. In March the organ- ization took its turn in publishing the Y's World , the monthly publication of the state association. The theme of this issue was the ever popular subject Music . Among the social events of the year was a Hallowe'en party held jointly with the Y. M. Then in the spring the club aided in sponsoring thc annual Mother-Daughter banquet. The feature event of the year came during the month of October when eight members, accompanied by the club sponsor, attended the annual state conference in El Dorado. Much beneficial information was brought back by the attending delegates. A5 this conference the state organization accepted the invitation of the Indepen-A dence group to hold its convention in our city next year.

Robert Perkins - President George Chaney - Vice-president Jack Featheringill - Secretary Herbert Huston - Treasurer As compared with the record of the past, the '37-'38 edition of the Y. M. was above the average. With interest- ing programs, parties, mixers, and other activities, the organization functioned in high gear during the whole school year. After starting off the year with a watermelon feed for college men, th: organization enrolled forty-five mem- bers most of whom were loyal Workers throughout the year. Interest was kept alive in the first semester by the bi- weekly mixers in the school gymnasium at which various athletic contests and swimming filled the need for recrea- tion. Programs were similar to those of the past, consisting of speakers who were experts in their line. At each meeting the members joined heartily in songs. Devotions Were stressed in order to develop further Christian attitudes toward life and its problems. A Hallowe'en party with the Y. W. C. A. and a Saint Patrick's day banquet for members and their girl friends were the high points of the social activities. The acquisition of a small Y. M. C. A. room in which a ping pong table was placed helped to promote much fellow- ship among the junior college men. Several of the members are planning to attend the annual Y. M.-Y. W. con- erence at Estes Park, Colorado, in June.

However, as the first semester closed, both the bus- iness manager and assistant editor took advantages to. go to higher educational institutions. The original humor editor took a downtown position and withdrew from school. By doubling up in the duties and adding one new member, the work went on, with the assistant business manager helping editorially, the art editor and assistant kodak edi- tor taking over the joke section, and a new assistant business manager. All this seems mixed-up to be sure, but we hope this Inkan-quil still comes up to our original 'expectations and your, ,,I, o pinion of a satisfactory year book.

Junior College Pep Club Nadine Cunningham - - - President Marjorie Nell Spillman - - Secretary-treasurer The purpose and aim of this organization is to further and stimulate interest in all school activities, including football, bas- ketball, track, and debate. The club has been influential all year in bringing crowds to the games and in supporting school teams. Its twenty-five members, including the two women cheer- leaders, consist of approximately half sophomores and half fresh- men. At the beginning of the school year, the old members met with their sponsor, Pearl Russell, and elected nineteen new mem- bers, who are chosen on the basis of pep, character, leadership, and scholarship. Besides supporting school activities, the organization has taken charge of pep assemblies and supported several special events. The Pep Club is also active in social affairs of the school. In December, the annual football banquet was held at the Booth Hotel, for the victorious Pirates. Small pirate chests were given as favors, and large chests overflowing with jewelry adorned the tables. l V , y lm' This year an addition to the regulation uniforms was made. Each girl purchased a royal blue calotte that matched the skirts. This gave the uniforms a finished appearance.

However, the thirty-five men who reported to coach I. D. Stockebrand had a different point of view even though only six of them were lettermen and only three of these regulars. After two weeks of practice the Pirate hopefuls were required to pit their untried resources against a veteran Arkansas City team with three weeks of practice and one game under their belts. Fortified with very few plays but blessed with a good spirit and excellent physical condition, the evening of September 24th found the Pirates ready to venture forth in this first engagement of the season. Thanks to Burns' great punting, the line plunging of J. L. Wiggins, the recovery of a fumble by Baker, and good defensive play, the Pirates won their first game by a 6-O score. The Corsairs played host next week to Parsons and after failing to cash in on several opportunities in the first half, came back in the third quarter and began a drive that resulted in the only score of the game. Parsons threatened with a passing attack in the final quarter but were unable to change the 7-0 score. The Pirates next game was a mud battle at Fort Scott. The adverse weather conditions prevented an effective offensive by either team, but Burns' exceptional punting for the third straight game was the main factor in the locals' attack. One of his long spirals set the Greyhounds back on their five yard line from which they suffered a safety, enabling the Pirates to win by a 2-0 score. The fourth game, a non-conference affair, saw the Corsairs loose their guns against a weakened Monett, Mo., team.

The following week in a non-conference game With the Pittsburg Teachers B team the Pirates made enough yardage to score several touchdowns. They were able to administer the lethal dose only once and the scoie ended 7-0. In the next game the Pirates went on a scoring spree and defeated Chanute 52-0. The Chanute victory was evidently a of the se- were kicked all over the gridiron by Hutchinson who did not seem to be impressed by the locals great record and only by a field goal by Jack Wiggins and the punting of Burns were the Piratts able to eke out a 3-0 victory. The I ext game against Iola found the locals in a position to cinch the conference flag because Parsons had defeated Coffey- ville 18-la the previous day. The Pirates scored three times in the last half to win by a 18-0 score. The final game was with our arch-rivals, the Red Ravens of Coffeyville. The Pirates had two goals in mind for this game, namely: to win, and to keep their goal line uncrossed. In a very frigid game with respect to weather and a very torrid one along the lines of combat, the Purple and Gold gridsters failed to realize either of their desires and the game ended in a 6-G deadlock. History was made for this is the first time that a junior college football team has won the championship for two con- secutive years. Jack Wiggins was elected honorary captain and Russell Burns the most valuable man on the squad. Jack Wiggins, Baker, and Russell were placed on the all conference team and Burns, Baehl, and Wilson won places on the second all conference team. if 77 softening up affair for the next week at Hutchinson, the terrors , , .

Page 49 Til F A- Basketball The Pirates began their initial basketball practice sessions with one returning letterman and two squadmen from the sea- son before, and prospects of a winning team were about as bright as a rabibit's future at a greyhound's convention. However, Coach Stockebrand never despaired and by the time of the first league encounter, his charges were Whipped into fair shape. The season, as far as the won and lost column is concerned, was far from sensational, yet, taking into consideration the inexperience of the team, not to mention the cramped playing space of the local gym, the Corsairs had a rather fair season. They met every member of the eastern division in a two game series and managed to break even with the exception of the champion Parsons Cardinals, and Chanute. The losses, besides the Parsons defeats, were not severe and were the results of lack of reserve power. Parsons, after Winning the eastern division, whipped E1 Dorado, western champs, rather handily in two straight games to annex the state championship. In the light of that series of games, the locals, on paper at least, were about the equal of any- thing in the western division, and their standing in their own division was problematically their status over the entire state. At the end of the season, four Pirates received rewards for their season's playing: Tommie Fox, forward on the second all state team, Harold Thornton, Ivard Shobe, and Bill Knight received honorable mention.

Meade Smith, dash man, and Rusty Burns, weight perform- er, two stalwarts of last year's championship aggregation re- turned this year and were the nucleus around which the team was built. At this writing, Burns has about reached his record breaking peak of last year. The other members of the team are hard workers. but fail to come up to the performances set by some members of the other conference teams. After an interclass meet, the locals journeyed to Coffeyville for a dual meet and subdued the Ravens, 77-50. The Buccaneers next met Fort Scott on the local cinders and suffered the worst defeat in several years as the Greyhounds piled up 90 1-2 points to 31 1-2 for the Pirates. However, Burns scored fifteen points to emerge high individual scorer. ,In a triangular affair with Coffeyville and Parsons, I. J. C. scored 87 points compared with Coffeyville's 54 and Parsons' 11. At the Ark City quadrangular, Independence trailed the host team by 2 1-2 points for the second defeat of the season. First at Baker relays was won by Fort Scott while I J. C.'s eight-man team took second. The Pirates failed to place at the K. U. relays. The state meet will end the '38 track season and Coach Ira Stockeband has hopes of placing high in this event.

The local mashie wielders drove out a Win over Coffeyville and Chanute in a triangler match. Again Lew Boys won medalist honors While the rest of the squad performed Well. El Dorado was defeated in what was to be aquadrangular meet at Arkansas City. In a dual meet with Chanute, a four man team won without losing a point. The team is potentially strong enough to capture state honors and as the state meet is held after the Inkanquil goes to press results will be carried in next year's edition. GOLF O Boys Knott Blackford Goll Overfield Page 53 Tennis The devotees of the ancient French game, tennis, have not fared so well for various and sundry reasons. Practice hasn't been rigorously kept and adverse weather has played no little part in keeping it down. The seasons first match was against Coffeyville and of the four singles matches played, only Hair won. The doubles match was called off before a winner was determined in order to allow the Pirates to catch the bus home. Against Ft. Scott, Hair was again the only local to win a match. Against Coffeyville and Chanute, Hair won his match with the Chanute man, but lost to the Coffeyville ace. The other per- formers lost in the first round. At Chanute the team won in a dual meet. The matches arranged with Ark City were rained out, and the state meet is next on the calendar. With little hopes, the Pirates will no doubt, go into the fray fighting with the true Gold and Blue spirit. Q This team, unlike many of the other athletic groups, had to start from scratch , as there were no returning lettermen. The I. J. C. netsters were mostly men who have had little experience in school' tennis competition. Several of them will be back next year with a season of experience to help make the '39 tennis squad a bigger success. TENNIS Porter V Hair Perry Hardwick Sircoulomb Sharpe Page 54 3.
