Nght f -I al' Ch '48, Girls Glee Club '47, '48. Sock and Busk 47 48 YMCA 48 The Class of 1948 holds a unique place in the history of Independ- ence Junior College. The end of the war and the rapid demobilzation of the armed forces released a flood of men eager to continue their education. The class of '48 is composed largely of this group. Men outnumber the wo- men three to one. The average age is several years older due to the inter- ruption caused by the war years. A larger number than ever before are married. In the freshman year things were beginning to get back to a somewhat normal situation, and the sophomore year found most Junior College activities in full sway once more. ,F The largest graduating class in seven years, the Class of '48 has played an important part in Junior College activities. In the Freshman year, besides furnishing a majorty of participants in athletics and other school activities, it furnished the leadership for the Student Council and was instrumental in remodeling the Collegiate Room. In the Sophomore year members of the class formed the nucleus of the very successful foot- ball and basketball teams, both of which finished in third place in the high- ly competitive Junior College League. Members of the Class of 1948 have taken an active and constructive part in all phases of college life-Pep Club, Phi Theta Kappa, national honor fraternity, Sock and Buskin, Eng- ineers Club, Band, A Cappella Choir, Inkanquil Staff, The Student paper, and Student Council. Two years of college have left their mark upon the members of the Sophomore Class. The lessons learned and the pleasures enjoyed will long be remembered as the members of the Class of 1948 take their places in the world of tomorrow. ROBERT MOSS--Pre-Teachers, Independence.

A large number of the graduates, along with some out-of-town students and re- turning veterans, have found these experiences in college as freshmen. The way of life is different from anything they have previously exper- ienced, they are however, once more at the bottom of the heap working up. When they started to school last fall, these freshmen accepted the challenge of showing themselves worthy of their position in all phases of school life. They have not stood still since accepting that challenge. They have done well in the scholastic field. Of the fifteen mem- bers of Phi Theta Kappa, four are freshmen. The speech class had several freshmen in its ranks to help out its standing at the forensic contest this winter. Athletics have not been neglected, however, in the pursuit of knowledge. The football team was composed of a large number of fresh- men who showed themselves worthy of notice. The basketball team and the spring sports program were helped by a number of freshmen. Interest was also shown in the field of music. The college a cap- pella choir and men's and women's choruses had a fine year because of the participation of many freshmen. The band and drum corps also had a number of college freshmen. The band and drum corps also had a number of college students, the majority of whom were freshmen. The future should hold much in store for this class whose most outstanding qualifications and achievements are yet to be revealed.

Over the past years, Independence Junior College has developed a fine relationship between the members of the student body and those of its administrative forces. Cooperation between students and faculty has come about largely as a result of the Junior College Council. One of the first activities of the students each year is to elect stu- dents by popular vote to the governing body of the students, the Student Council. This council is composed of a President, Vice President, Sec- retary-Treasurer, the presidents of both the Freshman and the Sophomore classes, who automatically become members of the council upon election, a Freshman Commission-er and a Sophomore Commissioner. The first semester officers included Gary Dickerson, President: Mary Jane Callahan, Vice-Presidentg Colleen Hull, Secretary-Treasurerg Gene Gill, Sophomore Commissioner: and Frank Moses, Freshman Com- missioner. These offices were held by the same people the second semest- er, with the exception of the presidency, which was held by Charles Moss. The activities of this year's council were centered around social affairs. The main event of the first semester was the Christmas Formal which was sponsored by the council. The Second Semester Council spon- sored an all College Skip Day when fun reigned for all. The sponsorship of the Spring Formal brought the activities of the council to a climatic close. During the first semester a group of students interested in making teaching their profession met and elected the following officers: Benny Boswell, presidentg Mary Wilkin, vice-presidentg Joan Ivey, secretary- treasurerg and Mr. Lewis Corporon, sponsor. ' In their meetings the following topics were discussed: certification of teachers in various states, code of ethics for teachers, how to apply for a position, classroom problems, and affiliation with Future Teachers of America. It was decided not to attempt affiliation with the national assoc- iation inasmuch as the local organization was just starting. It is hoped that we may affiliate later. The outstanding meeting was held in the home of Mary Wilkin. Mr. Fred Cinotto, Dean, spoke on the subject, So You Want to Teach. Follow- ing his talk he led a spirted discussion of his remarks. This is a new organization and reflects the nationwide shortage of teachers. It is hoped that it is a step in the right direction toward attract- ing some of the better students into the teaching profession. During the year many members of Tomorrow's Teachers were called upon to do substitute teaching in the junior high and high school. The membership greatly appreciated the opportunities presented for practical experience in the class room. Standing: Mr. Cinotto, Dora Ann Walters. June Horn, Benny Boswell.

A. in school, but last fall it was reorganized under the leadership of Mr. Ernest Goforth. As no limit was put on the membership a very good number showed their interest by joining. As many prospective members were participating in sports and other activities, to avoid conflict, the business meetings were held at noon in the school cafeteria. Several times during the year, evening meetings were held with some outside form of entertainment as a part of the pro- gram combined with programs in which the members? participated. The aim of the Y. M. C. A. is to create, to maintain, and to extend high standards in practical everyday living. The activities are directed toward the development of Christian ideals in character and toward coma mendable physical and social development. The members of this organ- ization have the privilege of attending the Y. M. C. A. summer camps and local, state, national, and international conventions. Officers are David Dennis, presidentg Robert Montgomery, sec- vetaryg and Jack Caskey, treasurer. Mr. Ernest Goforth is sponsor of the group.

The annual college play which was presented this year was The Night of January 16th , which was written by Ayn Rand. It was given in the school auditorium Friday, December 5. The setting of the play was in a court room and the plot revolved around the trial of Karen Andre, portrayed by Gwen Trout, who suppos- edly murdered her lover on the night of January 16. In the role of the de- fending attorney was Robert Montgomery who won an acquittal for Miss Trout from a jury chosen from members of the audience. The prosecut- ing attorney was portrayed by Eldon Scott. Character witnesses for the case', were Bill Callahan as Larry Reagan, a big time racketeerg Lennie Stanley, the wife of the murdered man, Bill Chesnut, her father, John Burns as Sweeney, the copg Bob Goodell as the coroner, Mary Wilkin, a handwriting expertg and Oralice Ash, a devoted Swedish housekeeperg Phyllis Owen as a night club enter- tainerg Eugene Whitt, a private eyeg and'Virgil Balke as a secretary. In the roles of various court officials and reporters were Walter Renner, Bethane Clayton, Larry Rudrauff, Ormand Gillen, and Virginia Flesher who added much realism to the play. Since its organization in 1928, Sock and Buskin, the college dra- matics club, has been a favorite of junior college students. The principal activity of Sock and Buskin for each year is the production of a long play. This year's presentation was Ayn Rand's The Night of January 163' It was presented Oecember 5, and it proved to be a highly successful endeavor on the part of all who participated. Besides the long play, members participated in assemblies, appeared on the school's weekly radio program, and presented programs for non- school groups. Officers for the year were Doyle Faler, presidentg Bob Goodell, vice presidentg and Connie Brann, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Lewis Corp- oron was sponsor and director of the group.

Tentative plans were made to enter the state junior college tournament at El Dorado, but that tournament failed to materialize. In frequent informal sessions the prospective debaters met with the sponsor and engaged in lively discussions of the debate question: Resolved That a federal world government should be established . Three students attended a debate clinic at Wichita University. This group did more work in other phases of speech work, such as panel discussions and original speeches for civic and social organizations which requested them. Among those who appeared before civic groups were Gwen Trout and ,Louise Bowers, who gave book reviews, and Eldon Scott and Don Castle, who participated in a panel discussion before the Lions Club. In March IJC entered the Sixteenth Annual Forensic Tournament sponsored by St. John's College, Winfield, Kansas. Those who competed were Louise Bowers, Lois Parker, Gwen Trout, Eldon Scott, Bill Chesnut, David Imel, and Don Castle. Gwen Trout placed second in Book Reviewing and was rated Excellent. The others failed to place in the finals, but their rating ranged from Fair to Excellent. Plans for next year include more emphasis on radio production since the Independence City Schools have a weekly program over the local station, KIND.

For the first time since the club was formed in 1928, the constitu- tion of the College Pep Club has been changed to increase the membership to a maximum of fifty members to conform with the increasing enrollment in our Junior College. This enlargement has made possible a much better cheering section to support our football and basketball teams. The girls appeared, also for the first time in many years, in new sweaters which added greatly to the appearance of the Juco Pep Club. Uther activities which the Pep Club has charge of are the pep as- semblies, banquets for lettermen, and coronations of the queens. Beside these activities, the Pep Club took charge of the concession stands at high school games and undertook the selling of Christmas cards and stationery as a means of making the treasury grow. Highlights of the season were a picnic given for the football team at the Glencliff farms and a supper in the cafeteria with the Coffeyville Pep Club as guests. The cheerleaders were Phyllis Owen, Gwen Trout, Rob Montgomery, and Frank Moses. The club is under the sponsorship of Miss Pearl Russell. l Officers for the past year included Mary Ann Hackmaster, pres- identg Myril Culp, vice-president, and Shirley Rernaley, secretary-treas- urer.

Under the direction of the new bandmaster, Emmett Crabtree, a veteran of World War II, the Independence High School and Junior College band started the year with approximately sixty-five members. During the year, the band made trips to several of the surrounding towns. The first big trip taken was to the KSTC homecoming at Pitts- burg, where the band presented a lawn concert and participated in the parade before the annual football classic. Other trips were made to Neo- desha and Cherryvale at Christmas time. At home the organization has participated in parades for the Fall Opening, the annual Christmas celebration, Armistice Day, and the Spring Opening. The band has provided music at practically every football and basketball game. On February 26, the crowning of the band queen, Miss Ruth Taylor, took place in the auditorium, with the band president, Mr. Don Dancer, officiating. The queen's attendants were Miss Joan Duncan, Miss Yvonne Thompson, Miss Eleanor Ann Clark, and Miss Norma Jean Patterson. Im- mediately following the crowning of the queen, the band presented a con- cert which was broadcast over station KIND. Early in April the band entered the Tri-State Musical Festival at Pittsburg. However, being a high school function, the college members of the band were not permitted to play. During the spring months several good-will trips to the surrounding towns were planned for the band. The band has been an interesting and educational organization to all the members as well as being a great contribution to the school and community which it represents. 41 w S EMMETT CRABTREE.

We of the staff sincerely hope that We have presented you with a clear and concise record of the achievements and activities of the students of IJC. It is our hope that you will keep this book over which we have labored so long as a reminder of your many carefree and happy days spent in college. The 1948 Inkanquil staff relied heavily upon Bill Chesnut, the ed- itorg George Vermillion, the business manager and his assistant Sadie Navarreg Colleen Hull, the activities editorg Bob Farley for the art workg Charles Moss and Charles Shoemaker for the stories and sections on sportsg Betty Lou Shacklette for snapshots. Mr. Pearson acted as sponsor and coordinator, Mr. Lee was the chief photographer, and the English Department assisted with the writing. We are happy to bring you this year fifteen added pages, and the personal pictures in the front of the book. The cover and cover design were chosen to give the book a more brilliant appearance and to enable us to add needed pages and larger pictures. Along with distributing the book sooner, we have endeavored to bring you a yearbook which pictures many more students than yearbooks of previous years. The above partial list gives some idea of the tremendous amount of planning and Work that goes into a publication of this kind. It is a vol- untary effort that comes only with a spirit of Wishing to do something Worth While. 'ndePen4enCe5fU Q'1' f-.,V,..I V VV...V A , .

The Beta Omega chapter of this national junior college honor society is the only chapter in Kansas. The purpose of Phi Theta Kappa is to promote scholarship, develop char- acter, and to cultivate friendship among its members. A student to be eligible for membership must be of good moral character and be at the time of election Within the scholastic upper ten per cent of the regularly enrolled student body. To maintain active membership, a student must at the end of any given semester or term have a grade average of not less than a B . At the beginning of the school year, the five members returning Were the officers elected last spring: Don Aitken, president, Shirley Remaley, vice-president, Shirley Hybarger, secretary, Charles Sturgeon, treasurer, and Hubert Pomeroy, program chairman. In December the faculty elected six additional members: Louise Bowers, John Argo, Mal- colm Cloukey, Gene Gill, Jerry Barton, and Mary Ann Hackmaster. Four freshmen members were elected in January: Vera Harms, William Willis, Larry Rudrauff, and Dick Sanders. The project for the year selected by the members was to reassemble and bring up to date the file of the names and addresses of all the alumni members. Tentative plans have also been made for an alumni banquet to be held April 17. From time to time, the chapter members hold panel dis- cussions concerning school activities and affairs. . .L Q .

Thompson to set out in quest of a good musical production. Even though the Pirates is considered one of the more difficult of the Gilbert and Sullivan series it seemed like a natural for our group. Books were ordered about Christmas time and work soon began. . There were probably few in the audience at the performance who really knew the amount of effort which had gone into the production: learning of solo parts and spoken lines, actual staging, ordering of cos- tumes and properties, obtaining of cosmetics, working dance routines, acl- vertising, preparation of programs, arranging rehearsals for both chorus and orchestra, preparation of stage settings and scenes, etc. It was a tremendous task done well and with that achievement came a feeling that the time and money were well spent. The community was very enthus- iastic over the production and every effort will be made to follow it up with something similar next year. , MR, HAROLD THOMPSON ot 0 .

Winning six out of nine frays the Corsairs played aggressive and spectacular ball throughout the season while scoring a total of 159 points to their opponents 45. Traveling to Iola for the season's opener the Pirates proved too much for the Red Devils and won 13-0. Bill Kellenberger passed to Gene Gill and Charles Sturgeon for the two touchdowns. 5 - Fort Scott evened the count the following week by a 6-0 decision. The Grey- hounds only score came in the last quarter from two inches out after a superb three- down goal line stand by the lighter Corsairs. Playing host to the Parsons Cardinals the Pirates thrilled Independence fans in their first home game by a 26-7 win. Passes by Kellenberger to Gill and by Joe Worl to Curt Schmidt and runs by Bob Revelette and Gill accounted for the four touchdowns. Invaded by Joplin, the Corsairs opened up a ground attack that -was nothing less than spectacular and overwhelmed the favored Lions 25-7. Gale Wade, a newcomer, and Gill both scored two touchdowns. In the third quarter Gill demonstrated his broken field running ability when he knifed, spun, and twisted 43 yards through the entire Jop- lin team. Wade's last touchdown was scored in the final minutes on an interception and a 55-yard gallop. At Hutchinson long runs spelled the difference as the Blue Dragons won 18-6. Al- though the Pirates outplayed the Dragons in all departments they were able to score only once. This was accomplished on a pass-lateral play from Kellenberger to G. Carp- enter to Schmidt. Smarting from the Hutchinson defeat the Pirates returned home to trounce the Chanute Panthers. Wade, Schmidt, and Gill scored the four touchdowns-two of which were via the aerial route. Sturgeon converted faultlessly for the four extra points. The final score was 28--0. The Pirates finished their home season in excellent shape by overpowering the Ark City Tigers 20-0. G. Carpenter and Gill counted the Pirate tallies as the local crew completely outshone the visitors in every department. Hitting their stride the locals easily subdued the Southwestern College B team from Winfield on Armistice Day at Grenola. Revelette provided the biggest thrill when he took the second half kickoff for an 85-yard touchdown jaunt. The Blue and Gold machine ground out a six touchdown parade to win 41-0.

The Ravens scored in the third quarter after a substained 82-yard drive. The score was a muddy 7-0. The season's end found the Pirates in fourth place with a .571 average having won four out of seven conference games. For the first time in the sch0ol's history two honorary captains, instead of one, were elected. Gerald Carpenter and Gene Gill received this honor.

With the end of the football season interest was switched to basketball and 20 men answered Coach Stockebrand's first call. The team was built around Dennis, Aitken, Caskey-returning starters from last years squad-and Fowler, and Skaggs. Excellent reserve strength was contributed throughout the season by Gill, R. Moss, Baden, Rudrauff, Gillen, Predmore, Worl, and McGinnis. After losing the season's opener to a strong Pittsburg Teachers College team 38-40, the Pirate basketeers bounced into the win column with victories over Joplin, Pratt, Kansas City, and, once again, Joplin. ' During the Juco tournament held on the local boards Independence lost to El Dorado and wound up in fourth place after another loss to the Coffeyville Red Ravens. Dennis and Caskey won positions on the all-star squad and Baden was given honorable mention. The Pirates first league encounter was with the Red Ravens and they avenged their tournament defeat by winning 40-38. Hitting a slump the locals lost a league encounter to the Fort Scott Greyhounds -the defending' champions--and to Ark City before swamping the Iola Red Devils 75-35. 7 After losing a see-saw battle to Parsons the Pirates defeated the Chanute Pan- thers before dropping games to the Hutchinson Blue Dragons and to Coffeyville. The following week the Bucs evened the count with Ark City by taking a close game 39-37. Flort Scott was able to nose out the scrappy Pirates 42-47 after a hard fought game. The Hounds height advantage proved to be the deciding factor in this encounter. Next .invaded by a strong Parsons team the locals defeated the Cards 44-33 but lost in a return start with Kansas City. Chanute caught the Pirates off guard to win a rough and tumble game 45-43. The Blue and Gold defeated Joplin for the second time and wound up their sea- son with a 67-43 win over Iola. Although winning only 11 games out of a total of 22 starts and tying for third with Parsons in conference standings the locals outscored their opponents in all de- partments. The team's game average was 50.77 points to their opposition's 47.64. Dennis was high for Independence with 331 points-averaging 15.05 points per game- and was also high with a 71 percent free throw average. Aitken, although absent from three games, contributed a total of 222 points throughout the season. Top Row: Coach Ira Stockebrand, Donald Aitken. Jack Caskey. Ormand Gillen, David Dennis.

Don Aitken was in runner-up spot with 16 points. On April 7, the locals played hosts to the Coffeyville Red Ravens at the Shulthis oval. Of the 14 events the Pirates took 10 firsts, and with numerous seconds and thirds, Won from the Ravens 73 to 49. Caskey again led the point makers with wins in the pole vault, shot put, discus, and a second in the long leap for a total of 18 points. Speed merchant Gene Gill grabbed off leads in the century, 220, broad jump, plus a starting lead in the mile relay that his teammates never lost. The track-dry and hard- Was in ideal condition.
