This is the end of so many things and the beginning of so many more. Some of us will go to high institutions of learning While others will go out into the world to make a place for themselves and use well what they have learned. We hope the next sophomore class will have benefitted from knowing us and be inspired to even greater things than we have accomplished. The .sophomore class has produced many leaders in all the activities, social, athletic and scholastic. Besides being Well represented on the foot- -ball team, it has furnished members for the hoopsters and stars on the cinder track. Sophomores are to be found in the Pep club, Phi Theta Kappa, national honor society, Y. W. C. A., on the Inkanquil staff g in the Student Council, band, and chorus. ' We, the sophomore class of 1947, thoroughly appreciate the Won- derful advantages and privileges we have enjoyed and are proud to be graduates of Independence Junior College.

Page 18 DON AITKEN BILL LEONARD BILL OTTMAN Page 19 President Vice-President Secretary Freshman Class History Due to the influx of veterans of World War II, the freshman class is one of the largest in the history of this school. These men, as has been the case all over the nation, have ably demonstrated their ability to apply themselves to their studies and the all-important sports that are essential to modern college life. They have formed the nucleus of football and basketball teams that will be remembered as the best the school has seen for many years. Their spirit and determination forecasts a brighter grid and basketball picture during the next season. Other fields have felt the effects of their initiative and drive. They have organized a Men's Pep club and have participated in such organ- izations as the Y. M. C. A., Sock and Buskin and the band. In all organ- izations open to men in the junior college, the membership has been pre- dominantly freshmen. On the other side of the ledger we find that the girls have not been idle this year. A lovely freshman was crowned Homecoming Queen. and the program for this occasioan Was very capably handled by members of the Girls' Pep club. In addition to the Pep club, the membership of the Sock and Buskin and Y. W. C. A. boasted a large number of fresh- men. There Was also a junior college Girls' glee club, Whose membership was largely composed of freshmen. Together the men and women of the freshman class scored high on the membership of the Phi Theta Kappa, the honorary scholarship fraternity. One cannot imagine anything other than the best for students who are so eager to learn and who are so undaunted by obstacles.

This more precise functioning between students and faculty has come about largely as a result of the Junior College Student Council. Each year one of the first activities of the college is the election of the members of the Student Council along with the other officers of the freshman and sophomore classes. The president, vice-president, sec- retary, and sergeant-at-arms are elected by a popular vote of the juco student body. Two members ot' the council who automatically become members of the council upon their election are the freshman and soph- omore class presidents. The remaining two members of the council in- clude one commissioner from the freshman and sophomore classes, each being elected to the position by his class. The first semester officers included Charles Moss, presidentg Gerald Ransbottom, vice-presidentg Mary Ann Islackmaster, secretary-treasurerg Bob Revlette, freshman commissionerg Betty Simmons, sophomore com- missionerg and David Dennis, sergeant-at-arms. The beginning of the second semester found new officers installed. The majority of the juco students voted in this election and the outcome was in doubt until the very last minute. Gary Dickerson was elected pres- identg Hal Hamilton, vice-presidentg Jo Anne Jacobs, secretary-treasurer, and Bill Ottman, sergeant-at-arms. Activities of the Student Council during the past school year were varied and worthwhile. The promotion of better fellowship between the students of I. J. C. and students ol' competitive schools was created by the Council when it gave parties and dances after basketball and football games. The 1946-47 Student Council climaxed its years activities when it arranged and sponsored the spring banquet and formal. Page 30 Page 31 FRONT ROW: Miss Mary Humphreys. Joy Esch.

Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa is the national junior college honor fraternity. Independence Junior College has the Beta bm-ega cnapter which is the only chapter in Kansas. The purpose of the organization is to promote scholarship, develop character, and to cultivate friendship among the mem- bers. Eligibility for membership is determined by rigid requirements pertaining to scholarship and character. This year there was only one member, Joy Esch, returning from last year. After the first semester, eight new members were elected by a faculty committee. These eight new members were entertained at a formal dinner March 31, 1947, after which formal initiation into the soc- iety Was held. The members elected this year by the faculty committee are Jeanne Coffman, Shirley Hybarger, Shirley Remaley, Hal Hamilton, Don Aitken, Lawrence Fairbanks, Charles Sturgeon and Hubert Pomeroy. Miss Mary Humphreys is sponsor of this group. lll-IST IIIIXV: lit-ily Silnnwn IH-nnie Xluliinuis. Joy linsrh. SICVHNII ILHW: 1':irol lion-rs. Glenna Kiiliou. .lily-L' 1'-fnley. l.4-renal KlllH1l'lJ.

Such were the headlines proclaimng to the students of I. J. C. and the citizens of Independence that Sock and Buskin had successfully produced, under the capable direction ot Mrs. Margaret Goheen, the impel- ling drama, Death Takes a Holiday . A gorgeously costumed cast with unusual insight as to the inter- pretation of their roles, effective lighting, and a distinctive set combined to hold the audience spellbound as the story of the play unfolded. Heading the all-college cast was Hal Hamilton whose brilliant per- formance in the role of Death'7 evoked much favorable comment. Sup- porting him and giving excellent portrayals were Melba Lou Eldredge as Grazia g John Argo as Duke Lambertng Deania Burnworth, Alda g Doyle Faler as the Barony Colleen David as the Princessg Bill Ottman, Corrado g Mary Virginia Barnes, Stephanie g Mary Aim Hackmaster, Rhoda g Jim Criswell, Eric g Lawrence Fairbanks. Major Whitread g Joan Thomas as Cora p and Bob Fuller as Fedelle . Credit should be given to the production staff who worked so tire- lessly. The staff included John Pruitt, Meryln Taylor, Don Findley, Mark Minton, Mary Wilkin, Sara Ann Navarre, Bill Combs, Dick Fuller, Bob Mills and Betty Simmons. 1 THIS BAN I1 .1 Mg 5 ,, y sh V- Z Q 1 f41.eal'ZX... .r i l'ilI 'liH ICUYV: Mr. VV.

In the above picture you are almost certain to find the guilty person, for these five students com- , prised the junior college staff serving on the Student this year. F ,,..,.,- At the opening of school, Miss Lora Todd, journalism instructor, had five college students to assist her in editing the Weekly school paperg however, during the second semester only two juco journalists remained. One of the favorite college columns this year was College Corner , which Was originated by Bill Ottman, Who also teamed with Charles Shoe- maker to Write the Introducing column. In the sports department, Bill Combs and Milton Metcalf covered the home games, and a majority of games on the road, played by the Blue . and Gold basketball and football teams. Miss Joan Thomas Wrote most of the feature stories of interest to the feminine members of the college. Each member of the Student staff has strived to make each edition satisfactory to the student body. It is With this aim that our paper is composed and edited by the members of the journalism staff.

Inkanquil Staff The 1947 Inkanquil has at last taken its place in the annals of history of I. J. C. The new annual displays a unique design and a novel arrangement of material between the two covers. It represents many months of hard, earnest effort on the part of the students who formed the Inkanquil staff for 1947. This years staff was chosen by a faculty committee. Hal Hamilton, freshman, was chosen to be editor-in-chief, and Jean Arnold, sophomore, was chosen as business manager. Neal Cox was the assistant editor and Colleen Hull was the assistant business manager. Other members of the staff were John Pruitt, Mary Virginia Barnes, Milton Metcalf, Glenna Killion, Myril Ann Culp. Connie Mctlinnis, Jean Thomas, and Carol Rogers. Mr. Lyle IJ. Green, Miss Lora Todd, Miss Marie Hembree, and Mr. DeSpain served as advisors and a great portion of the credit for the book can be given to them. Each member ol' the staff has endeavored to make the yearbook a satisfactory one to the members of the juco student body. The Inkanquil is made for the students ul' I. J. CT., and it is with the aim of pleasing every student that the book is designed, composed, and edited by the staff. We hope that it will serve as a lasting memorial of the school's activities for the year 1945-1947. Page 40 f , z M, S ,441 -3i'7n51'5g,',' 4' 'SFVQX' Ei i i ' la 4 f 5 11 X .

Football Junior college football with all its thrills, chills, and spills returned to the local sports scene, during the 1946 season, for the first time since 19-12. Sixty men reported to Coach Ira IJ. Stockebrand, veteran football mentor, and Frank Sicks, his assistant, for initial practices and from this number a top-notch machine was chosen to represent the Blue and Gold on the gridron. This squad registered 3 victories, -1 losses, and one tie game for the season. The Pirates opened the campaign against the Fort Scott Grey- hounds, in a game played on the local turf, and the two teams battled to a 6-6 tie. Gene Gill, speed merchant of the locals, scored on a reverse to account for the Corsairs' scoring in this, the opening game. Next on the local schedule was Coach Carnie Smith's Parsons Cardinals. Although the Pirates were unable to gain more than 3 first downs in this game, they managed to win by a 6 to 0 margin. It was again Gene Gill who scored the lone touchdown for the Stockebrand team. Independence tasted its first defeat of the season at the hands of the Joplin Lions as the two teams met on the Lions' home grounds. The final score showed the Pirates on the short end of a 19-14 score. llutchinson then rolled into Independence and downed the I. J. C. team by a 26-13 score. The Corsairs bounced back into the win column at the expense of the tfhanute Black Panthers. Previous to game time these two teams appear- ed to be on even terms: however, Coach Bridges' team proved to be no match against the powerhouse work of Bayouth and Kellenberger. The final score was 21-0. A Saturday night game, now referred to as the Mud Bowl, pitted Independence against the Iimporia State Teachers' B squad, and de- spite the soggy Shulthis stadium field, the locals gained a 7-6 victory over the visitors. Page 46 Following their win over Emporia, the Buccaneers journeyed to Arkansas City for a meeting wth powerful Tigers. Earl Grinnell proved to be too much for the Pirates and Independence dropped a 13-0 decision. This was the only game of the season in which the locals failed to tally. The traditional Independence-Coffeyville clash, which brought down the curtain on the 1946 campaign, was the finest game witnessed on the local gridiron for quite some time. Coffeyville was favored to walk over the Pirates, however, the Pirates had quite an altogether different idea. Independence did lose this game, but only by a 13-6 count. The 5,000 fans who jammed Shulthis stadium for this clash were more than impres- sed by the fine showing of excellent sportsmanship on the part of both elevens. Football letters were awarded to Neal Post, Gerald Carpenter, Claude Couk, Edward Todd, Bill Kellenberger, Charles Huff, Stanley Lambdin, Bill Tucker, Jack Cox, Otho Fletcher, Emile Bayouth, Curtis Schmidt, Theodore Pocock, Vernon Ball, Howard Crane, Charles Moss, Alfred Overman, Jay Hanson, Robert Moss, Don Gill, Gene Gill, Orval Blunt-honorary captain for the team-Gene Greer, John Burns, Bill Horn, James Carpenter, Reece Canaday, Ed Hugill, Charles Nation, Robert Smith, Dean Matthew, Bob Revlette, Robert Noblitt and James McGinnis. Orval Blunt and James Carpenter were selected on the Kansas All- State team for their fine defensive play: Bill Kellenberger was named as quarterback on the second team. Gene Gill was given honorable mention in the selections. SEASON'S RECORD Independence --- ........ 6 Fort Scott --, 6?

Basketball Even before the completion of the 1946 football battles, Coach Stockebrand was whip- ping a first class basketball team into shape. Such former outstanding IHS athletes as David Dennis, Don Aitken. Jack Caskey, Bill Leonard, Dick Gooldy, and Floyd Dawson formed the nucleus of the 1946-47 cage squadg while ample reserve strength was furnished by Jim Mc- Ginnis. Jack Rains, Gene Gill, Gary Dickerson, and Robert Moss. John Lance's team from Pittsburg Teachers' college was the first opponent of the Pir- ates and this older and more experienced team defeated the local aggregation by a 47-27 count. Following this defeat by Pittsburg, Independence went on to win seven straight games as Pratt, Kansas City, Joplin, Chanute, Coffeyville and Parsons were unable to halt the Blue and Gold basketballers. Joplin dropped two games to Independence in as many meetings. It was Fort Scott that put the cooler to the Pirates by virtue of a 55-48 win over them on the Greyhounds' home boards. Previous to this victory over the locals, Fort Scott, the ultimate champion, was considered a dark horse crew. Next on the schedule was a road trip that carried the Stockebrand crew to Hutchinson and Pratt. The Buccaneers defeated Hutchinson 46-44 and handed the Pratt team a 46-25 thumping. Independence then hit a slump, without the services of David Dennis, benched vecause oi' a broken hand, and dropped consecutive games to Arkansas City, Fort Scott, and Coffey- ville, and it was not until a meeting with the Chanute Black Panthers that the Pirates again entered the win column. Their second victory over Chanute was a 64-47 affair. This was followed by wins over Arkansas City, Parsons, and Winfield. The last road game of the season saw the locals dropping a 65-63 decision to the Kan- sas Vitnv Blue Devils. Kansas City put on a last minute scoring spree to gain this victory. A post-season exhibition game with the Bartlesville junior college ended the schedule for thi- Pirates, The result of this game was 69-44 in favor of Independence. Those earning letters for the season were I Ioyd Dawson, David Dennis, Jim McGinnis, Dick tioolrly, Bill Leonard, Don Aitken, Jack Caskey, Gary Dickerson, Gene Gill, Robert Moss, .lack Rains and Neal Post. In the selection of an Eastern Division All-Star team, coaches and sports writers nam- ed David Dennis to the first team and Don Aitken to the second. Other Independence play- ers receiving votes were Floyd Dawson, Bill Leonard and Jack Caskey.
