The things they might have accomplished, be what they may, are greatly outnumbered by the things they accomplish. Whether or not there be future greats listed in their humbers this publication should serve them, as the bronze memorial serves the hero, as a fitting rejoinder, to future queries as to their achievements, that they have successfully completed one task on which they embarked. Success however shouldn't be measured altogether in the successful ful- fillment of some original aim. Many times in such cases the victory of achieve- ment is a hollow one at best. If the seeker of success has detoured from the route originally mapped out by him in his search for success, to lend aid to someone elseg to forget his individual indentity for a time for the benefit of others and finds, as he surely will, that he has derived a measure of satisfaction for having done so, the time and labor lost from his desire to attain El Dorado are not reckoned by him as such but rather as El Dorado itself. In the light of this philosophy the Sophomore class of '39 viewing their extra-curricular activities in athletic, intellectual, and social endeavors has beyond doubt, tasted of the delicous and refreshing nectar of true success.

Freshman Class l-listorv Some of the happiest days of one's life are those during which he is a freshman. When one becomes a freshman in college he either accepts or has accepted a challenge to do what he can. And, since this is the case, he makes a supreme effort to bring out and show the best that is in him. ' That challenge was well handled by this year's' freshman class. The class has produced some real athletes, being well represented on the football squad and composing almost the entire basketball team. In track also the freshman was conspicuous for his presence, and he built up the bulk of the team. The class was, however, far from being entirely athletic. Athletics last during the time one is in college, but scholastic honors obtained are remem- bered long after one has graduated. And in this respect also the class has held up its end of the job by supplying a large number of Phi Theta Kappa members an producing a women's champion debate team. The freshman class is quite proud of its record and feels that it has laid a solid foundation for its later school life as well as for life long after the school days are past. It might be well for us to remember that old maxim: For when the one great scorer comes, To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game.

Student Council The Student Council of Independence Junior College, as in college and universities throughout the United States, comprises the governing body. The Student Council has, in the past year increased in its importance as an admin- istrative body in the eyes of students and faculty alike. It is provided in the constitution, adopted in 1934, that the president of the council, the vice-president, the secretary, and the sergeant-at-arms be elec- ted by the entire student body at the beginning of the first semester. The sopho- more and freshman class presidents automatically become members of the coun- cil, and one commissioner is elected by each class. In addition, there are two faculty advisors and one representative from the adininistration. The council was composed of E. R. Stevens, Jr, presidentg Luther Fowler, vice-president, Natalie Howell, secretaryg John Cranor, sergeant-at-armsg Keith Witt, president of the sophomore class, Jack Drohen, sophomore com- missioner, Byron Caskey, president of the freshman classy and Betty Meuschke, freshman commissioner. This year's activities of the Student Council have consisted of the se- lection of the officers' of the Inkanquil staff, development of the Collegian room, and the all-school parties. The all-school parties represented an entirely new extra curricular social activity. These parties, of which there were four in number throughout the year, were of such a nature as to afford entertainment for the entire student body. Because of the high degree of success character- istic of these parties, they have been established as a permanent program of this institution. Through the succeeding years student have been realizing more and more the importance of decisions rendered by the Student Council and have be- come more cooperative in establishing student government.

Sock and Busldn The Sock and Buskin remained a rather mystic organization through out the school year, in that it held few formal meetings. However some of its activities will be remembered as outstanding events of the school year. The club started the year with a membership drive during which all the college students interested in dramatics' were contacted, many became associate members and! took part in the club activities until they had passed their membership requirements. The group's outstanding work was exhibited in the production Blind Alleyn, an all college play which received much comment. The club furnished actors and technicians for the high school plays throughout the year as well as promoting The Phantom Tiger , the years mystery thriller. Several short plays were given in convocation, high school assemblies, before civic clubs, and rural meetings. An outstanding play When the Wife's Away , was presented many times to enthusiastic audiences. The club's social event of the year was the annual picnic at lovers-leap the last of April.

Bio- graphies was the theme selected to carry out the purpose in the programs of the year. At the bi-monthly meetings, members of Zeta reviewed famous bi- ographies' of representative great men and Women. The guest speaker, Mrs. M. H. Hanawalt, read an original essay and some of her own poems. This program stimulated the members to prepare scrap books which depict different phases of literature. In addition to this, material was collected for a booklet composed of the best prose and verse written by the junior college students. On March 23, the annual spring banquet was held at the Booth Hotel. Bandana handkerchiefs and miniature cowboys served to emphasize 'the theme, A Dude Ranch. A rhymed skit, The Winning of Rose, was especially written for this occasion. Other highlights in the social activities were the Christmas and St. Patrick's' Day parties.

Engineering Club The engineering club was organized for the purpose of bringing the different phases of engineering to the students who are interested in that phase of study. In order to become a member one must carry at least ten hours of engineering subjects and at the end of each semester be passing in at least ten hours. Inspection trips are taken by the club each year. This year the club vis- ited the Atlas Cement Plant, in Independence, and the O. C. S. and Acme Found- ry in Cofteyville. A trip to Kansas City for the purpose of inspecting the Ford Assembly Plant and other industries was made by the club. This trip was one of the high-lights of the year. Various entertainments have been given by the club in the past and this year Was' no exception. A dance was given at Christmas for the returning alumni of I. J. C. This was one of the most successful dances of the year. Fol- lowing the annual custom, the club gave another Hay Hickey. The purpose of the Hay Hickey was to help finance the annual trip to Kansas' City. Each club in the school nominated a candidate for Queen Bonnie of the barn loft. Mr. W. L. Friley was the adviser of the club this year. Page 37 FORENSICS Top row: Konz, Blanton, Porter, Jones, Stevens, Hughes.

Forensics The forensic team enjoyed a profitable and successful year, having participated in debate, progression, after-dinner speaking, extempore speaking, oratory, and interpretative readng. The team won honors in invitational tourn- aments, the state tournament, and the national Phi Rho Pi tournamentt, and attended additional speech conferences. Much creditable work was done by members of the group. Some of the most outstanding accomplishments were: the winning of second place in after- dinner speaking by Truman Blanton at the Fort Scott invitational tournamentg the winning of first place in extempore speaking by Stanley Porter alt the St. John's invitational tournament at Winfieldg and the Winning of first place in women's debate by Fern Cherrie and Betty Meuschke at the state tournament in Arkansas City. Independence was represented in forensic meets at Arkansas City, Pitts- burg, Tahlequah, Hutchinson, Fort Scott, Winfield, and Virginia, Minnesota. Some members of the team were present on all trips, and these people traveled a total distance of approximately four thousand miles to represent I. J. C. in speech activities. The steady and constant improvement on the part of the members of the Steam was the factor which caused them to close the year's Work as one of the most respected forensic groups in junior college competition.

Phi Rho Pi In the field of forensics, the national honorary fraternity for junior colleges is known as Phi Rho Pi. The organization with the cooperation of its various chapters endeavors Ito promote interest in forensics by giving recog- nition to those who excel in public speaking. The Independence chapter, Kansas Epsilon, has been active this year. During the first semester it sponsored an invitational tournament for the junior colleges of Kansas. This tournament was agttended by debate teams from Dodge City, Parsons, Arkansas City, Chanute, Coffeyville, Fort Scott, Kansas City, Pittsburg, and Independence. After-dinner speaking was an addition to the debate meet. Kansas Epsilon was represented ait the national convention of Phi Rho Pi, held at Virginia, Minnesota, by Evan Stevens, Jr., Dean Konz, Stanley Por- ter, Lynnell Hughes, Betty Meuschke, and Fern Cherrie. The chapter closed the school year with a student membership of eleven, with satisfaction for the year's work, and with the prospect of a prosperous future. Page 39 Y. W. C. A.

A. conference, which was held here in October, was undoubtedly the outstanding event of the Y. W. year. Choosing the High Way , a short poem by Oxenham was the theme selected. Ninety college women were here representing the various junior colleges over the state. The guest of the conference was Miss Evelyn O'Connor, a member of the state board in Topeka. Appreciation was the key note of the bi-monthly meetings. Apprecia- tion in relation to such representative subjects as humor, books, music, poetry, and art was discussed. In accordance with the aims of the organization, devotions were a vital part of each meeting. Two guest speakers were heard during the year. Mrs. Frederick Beal presented a detailed and interesting account of the life of Evangeline Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. At Christmas, Rev. R. O. Penick spoke to a joint meeting of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. The Y. W. joined the high school clubs in planning for the annual Mother-Daughter banquet. Gther activities were the Rush Week parties, the book exchange, and a Valentine Party. At Thanksgiving and Christmas, the club presented gifts of food and clothing to some of the needy families of the community. The club has again this year subscribed membership in the National Organization. The purpose of the Y. W. C. A. is to promote leadership and develop Christian character among young women. Page 40 Y.

College life would not be complete without its varied and interesting activities. The Y. M. C. A. this year has supported its part of the school pro- gram to the best of its ability, which was considerable, due to the fact that the club had one of the largest enrollments in its history and that the members were never found lacking when called upon. The year was started off with the annual watermelon feed for college men and some fifty-five members were enrolled into the organization. During the first semester mixers were held in the gymnasium at which various athletic contests and swimming events were indulged in and which did much to stim- ulate the club's interest. Throughout the series of meetings prominent business and professional men of the city gave talks on the need for Christian standards in the various realms of life. Each meeting was marked by enthusiastic group singing and the devotional period of each session did much to stress further Christian attitudes towards school life and every day problems. Much interest was shown in the ping-pong tournaments which were held each semester and in which some real champions were found. The high point of the social activities was the Y.M.C.A. Sweethearts Banquet at which the girl friends of the members were the guests. Guided by the capable sponsorship of Dr. Paul Twining and the leader- ship of Luther Fowler, the club president, a very successful year was had. The 1938-39 Y. M. C. A. was 1 an active and wide awake organization with bright prospects for the future. Page 41 PHI Tl-IETA KAPPA Top row: Hughes, Neeland, Wallingford, Spradlin, Blanton, Witt.

Phi Theta Kappa The Beta Omega Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa was organized in the spring of 1933 and is still the only chapter in Kansas. The three fold purpose of this organization is to promote scholarship, develop character, and cultivate 'friendship among the students. To be eligible for membership in this organization one must fulfill rigid requirements pertaining to scholarship and character. Our present membership for this year grew from a nucleus of the four members returning from last year. At the end of the first nine weeks seven sophomores were elected into the chapter by the faculty committee. One sophomore and eight freshmen were elected at the end of the first semester. Officers for the past year Were: Janice Amend, presidentg Margaret Reed, vice-president, Bernice Horton, secretaryg and Wilma Ioerger, treasurer. A banquet, sponsored by the Alumni members, was held on April 8,at !the Booth Hotel for the Alumni and active members. The Phi Theta Kappa National Convention was held at Monroe, Louisi- ana, April 13, 14, and 15. Our chapter was represented by four student dele- gates, Janice Amend, Keith Witt, Margaret Helman, and Fred Wallingford and our sponsor, Mr. Twining. The organization sponsored a motion picture pro- gram in order to help finance this convention trip. Page 42 PEP CLUB Top row: Bowen, Beeman, Garr, Hastings, Elder, VVoodman, Helman, Reed.

Pep Club Madam Secretary, will you please read the minutes ? In this way begins a typical meeting of the Juco Pep Club. After the minutes have been dispensed with, Madam President inquires' as to possible transportation. Don't hurt anyone's feelings, weill need rides during basketball sea- son also. Most of the talk is not so heartless but no less to the point. Our adviser, Miss Pearl Russell, will give you an outline of our activi- ties. First, you must pay your dues, be sure to go to convocation, and also plan for pep clizapels. We shall have a banquet for the football boys and those concerned in the fall. The officers who were elected at our last meetiugs are Jane Cowles, president, and Sue Sevier, secretary-treasurer. We shall drill at the home football games and have a dinner for the Coffeyville Pep Club before the Coffeyville-Independence game. To raise money for the club, we sell different things, including candy, pins, and pencils. At various times we shall have informal meetings and lunches for ourselves. In the spring, we shall have a banquet in honor of such activities as track, tennis, golf, and debate. As soon as possible-perhaps next year-we hope to get new uniforms.

Sharpe, sports, lnkanquil Staff To make an annual Worthy of approval it is necessary to have a number of essential things-a staff with a cooperating and willingness-to-work spirit, efficient advisers, and a student body and faculty that are broadminded enough to overlook minor mistakes and see all the hard work put forth by the staff. Two of the members of the lnkanquil staff, the editor and the business manager, were selected by the Student Council and the other members were appointed by those two. Herbert Huston, the business manager, was the most experienced person on the staff, and he helped tremendously with work other than his own. Gladys Emery took over the position of art editor after the one first selected was forced to leave school at the end of the first semester. Special recognition is due Vivian Emery for her very valuable assistance with the art page. The advisers are generally accepted by the readers as connected with the Inkanquil only as a matter of formality. But without their assistance, the staff would hesitate to claim this annual. Both were decidedly invaluable to us. Mr. Myers cooperated with the editor and helped him with the arrange- ment of details and editing, while Mr. Reppert had charge of the printing. The staff, from the first, has worked very hard in striving to make this edition of the Inkanquil pleasing to every student in I. J. C. It has tried to include each student and faculty member in the annual in order to make this everybody's Inkanquil, not just a small group's. We feel that we have been successful in making this our annual, and if so, we do not consider our work has been in vain.

This building will have a seating capacity of 2500 with every spec- tator having an unobstructed view of the playing floor. It is equipped with an electric scoreboard, electric clock, and public address system. The mezzanine floors under the bleachers have rest rooms and concession rooms for the use of spectators. The main floor, which is 72 X 108 feet may be used as a lengthwise basket- ball court 50 x 90 feet or as two side courts, 46 X 66 feet. A corrective room with equipment valued at 358,000 is provided for use in the physical education pro- gram. Also, room is available for ping pong and shuffle board. A large dressing and locker room, a shower, and drying room are pro- vided for the exclusive use of the college athletic teams. With the addition of this building the physical education facilities of the junior college will be among the finest in the state. Page 45 Football I-iistory As the 1938 football season neared its opening hostilities, the general opinion was that the twice state champions would not repeat, but would be a team for nobody to overlook. Coach Ira D. Stockebrand had a nucleus of only six lettermen around which to build his team. After two weeks of hard practice the spirited Pirates journeyed to Arkansas City for their first game to play a team which had the advantage of one weeks practice. The Pirates' found themselves being pushed all over the field, but were able to hold the Tigers to only one touchdown. The score at the end of the game was 6 to 0. The following week the Stockebrand men journeyed to Parsons to play another tough opponent. The game was played on fairly even terms, but found Independence coming home with a 7 to 0 victory. Fort Scott, state champions, came to Independence to play the first home game of the season for the Pirates. In this game the Pirates suffered, at the hands of the Gryhounds, their worst defeat of the season. The Pirates found themselves unable to stop the fast driving Fort Scott backfield. When the game was over Fort Scoat had a 33 to 6 victory. The next two games the Pirates went out of the conference to play Pittsburg B and Joplin. The first was on the local field against Pittsburg. Pittsburg after using some of their first string men finally downed the Pirates 12 to 7. The Pirates for the next non-conference game journeyed to Joplin for one of the most thrilling games of the year. The Pirates were ahead in the last few minutes of play 1.3 to 6. In the last minute Joplin scored on a pass, but failed to make the extra point so the Pirates won 13 to 12. Coming back into conference play Independence journeyed to Chanute where they were defeated 19 to 7. The highlight of the game was an 85-yard trunback of a kick-off by Foxx for a touchdown. Hutchinson came to Indepen- dence to play in Shulthis stadium for the next game. Hutchinson has always been one of the toughest teams' on the Pirates' schedule. On a muddy field the two teams fought to a 0 to O deadlock. On Armistice day the Pirates went to Iola to play as part of the yearly celebration. After trailing Iola 7 to 3 in the fourth quarter, Hall returned a punt 65 yards for the winning touchdown. Independence won the game 10 to 7. The last game of the 1938 football season was between the traditional rivals, Independence and Coffeyville. The Ravens were doped to win by about three touchdowns, but were able to score only one. The game ended 7 to 0 in the Red Ravens favor. Charles Baker, star guard of the Pirates line, was chosen honorary captain of the Pirates' 1938 football team. He was also the only Pirate to make fthe all-conference first team. Thomas Foxx and Perl Kessinger were placed on the second team.

The poor record was due largely, perhaps, to the presence of more outstanding teams in the circuit than ever in the history of the Kansas Junior College Conference, and also to the lack of reserve strength. Opening the season with an inexperienced squad fortified by only two veterans from last year's team, Coach Stockebrand had the problem of rounding this green material into a successful team. After only a short period of practice the Pirates played their first game of the season on the home court against Neodesha Athletic Club, and suffered a defeat. This first defeat only urged them on. With another week of practice the Pirates played Sapulpa junior college and turned in a 48 to 32 win. Independence played three more non--conference tilts before starting on 'the conference schedule. The first was with the Standard Oilers of Fredonia, in which the Pirates again were the winners by a 37 to 22 point margin. In the next game the Pirates probably played the strongest alumni team ever put on the local court. The home team was again successful in winning 49 to 43. For the Pirates first game on a foreign court they journeyed to Joplin. There they lost 38 to 36 in a thrilling overtime game. Starting the conference schedule the Pirates' first foe was Chanute. The local team led up until the last few minutes of play and was defeated 40 'to 43. Next Independence played Fort Scott, the eastern division champions, and again led until the last period of the game and dropped back to a 30 to 36 defeat. At the start of the second semester the first game was with Parsons on the latters court. Independence went down by a 45 to 32 defeat. During the remainder of the season the Pirates stayed in every game, fighting their best, and showing fine sportsmanship for a losing team. They led at the half in several of the remaining games, but were still unable to turn in another victory. In the Coffeyville game the Red Ravens scored in the last few seconds of play to defeat the Pirates 33 to 35. Coach Ira D. Stockebrand announced that eight Pirates would receive letters. Those who were rewarded are Joe Hall, Dick Webb, James Keefe, Harold Ferrell, Bill Condon, Jack Parkins, Perl Kessinger, and Ted Gray. Ferrell, Webb, and Hall received honorable mention on the junior college all-conference team. Next year Independence will be fortunate in having one of the best gymnasiums in the state. With six returning lettermen and five of these regulars and with the other boys that are bound to turn up, the Pirates hope for a more successful season to come. .

Track History Q The track team closed the season last year by placing third in the state meet. In this meet Russell Burns placed first in the shot put, discus, and javelin. The team this year is made up almost entirely of freshmen and in the interclass meet the freshmen Won a decisive victory over the sophomores. In the first meet of the season, Fort Scott, last year's state champion, defeated the Pirates 80 to 43 at Pittsburg. At the Fredonia Relays the Pirates were nosed out by Fort Scott, 16 1-2 to 17. In a trianagular meet at Independence, Independence won first place with 72 1-2, Coffeyville, second with 63 1-35 and Parsons last with 12 1-6. Jack Stephens was high point man with 21 1-4 points. At the K. U. Relays the medley relay team won fourth place in its heat, 'Which was the only junior college event. On the local track in the next meet Independence defeated Joplin 78 2-3 to 43 1-3. Stephens again was high point man with 19 1-4 points. In the last meet of the season prior to the state meet the Pirates won with the score as follows: Independence 62, Coffeyville 45 1-2, Arkansas City 43 1-2. Faler broke the school pole vault record with a mark of 12 feet 1 3-4 inches. Ricketts, Stephens, Faler, and McKain were consistent point winners during the entire season. For an inexperienced group of men, the team made a very creditable showing and aroused hopes for a better season next year. Page 50 GOLF Sharpe, Goll, Blanton, Fowler, Overfield. , Golf l-listory Last year at the state meet Lewis Boys won first individual honors and 'Overfield and Boys as the two-man team took second. El Dorado's two-man team won first over the Pirates by a close margin. This year's team is composed of only two lettermen from last year, Over- field and Goll, and three less experienced players, Blanton, Sharpe, and Fowler. The first meet of the year was held at Coffeyville, with Parsons and Coffey- ville as the Pirates' opponents. Coffeyville won the meet with 35 1-2 points, Independence second with 8 1-2, and Parsons third with 8. The following week the Pirates were defeated in a dual meet With Coffeyville, 20 to 4. Independence invited Parsons and Coffeyville to the local Rajah golf club for a return match. Coffeyville again won first with 35 1-2 points, Inde- pendence second with 9, and Parsons last with 7 1-2. The next scheduled meet was with Joplin on the local course. Independence scored only 2 points to Joplin's 14. Several other matches have been scheduled, including the state meet.

Tennis I-listory In spite of the fact that no lettermen returned from the 1938 season, prospects for the 1939 tennis squad were made fairly bright by the gradua- tion into junior college of several members of the successful 1938 high school team. This year's team consists of Webb, Drackert, Krone, Hall, and Caskey, playing the first five positions. The first meet of the year gave the Pirate netsters a 6 to 1 advantage over Fort Scott. Webb playing ace position was defeated in a close match by Hoy, but in a return match two weeks later Webb turned in a win over the same player. In the next match the Pirates suffered a reversal and were de- feated by Coffeyville 7-2. Several of the matches were lost by a close margin. In a return match the locals were again successful in defeating the Fort Scott netsters 4 to 2. Webb, Drackert, Krone, and Caskey turned in wins in their singles matches while the two doubles teams were defeated. The next week Joplin won over the Pirates 4 to 2 on the local courts. Caskey registered the only singles win, while Krone and Caskey were suc- cessful in their doubles match. Several other matches have been scheduled for this year including the state meet. Four of the first five men of this year's team are eligible for another year of competition and with this advantage the Pirates look forward to a successful year to come.

Two soft arms stole around his neck, and two ruby lips whispered in his ear: And I love you, too, darling, but-where is this man Brown? 66666666666666 Miss Alice ain't home, said the maid. She's gone down to the class. What class? asked the caller. Miss Alice is fixin' to git married, you know, said the maid, and she's taking les- sons in domestic silence. 66666666-666666 Caller: Won't you walk as far as the street car with me, Tommy?

No-you see, my brother was born after my mother had her hair dyed. 666666666666-36 He's not as big a fool as he used to be. Getting wiser? No, thinner. 66666666666666 One of gthose Helen Hokinson club ladies was walking down Fifth Avenue recently with a miniscule Pekinese on a leash. A huge van was pulled up to the curb and a pair of hulking mechanics were banging away at the engine, trying to get the con- traption started. When the lady and the tiny dog came alongside, one of the moving men advanced toward them politely, lifting his hat. Lady, could we borrow your dog for a minute? The lady was' startled, Why, what are you going to do with the dog? Hitch 'im up to the truck to get it start- ed, said the mechanic. The lady lost her breath. HOW idiotic! A little dog like that couldn't pull that big truck. Oh, that's all right, lady, said the truck driver with complete assurance, we got whips! 666666666666-16 Patron: Look here, mister, I ordered chicken pie and there isn't a single piece of chicken in it.
