LINDA WELLEMEYER Faculty, students, and parents of junior College deeply lament the loss of Mrs. Linda M. Wellerrzeyer last December. Mrs. W'ellemeyer, wife of Dean F. Wellerrzeyer, was born in Gladbrook, Iowa, in 1886, and was a graduate of Morningside College. After coming to Kansas City in 1924, she was very active in church and civic organizations either as an officer or as a fnz'em'ber. Among these or- ganizations were the Y.W.C.A. Board, the History Club, the American Association of University W'omen, P.E.O., the Council of Clubs, the Council of Clubs Club House Company, and the Hi-Wives, which she organized. She was greatly interested in junior College affairs and understood the problems of the students, as all three of her children attended and graduated from junior College. As she was continually thinking of others during her lifetime, all who knew her will always remem- ber her beautifully unseljish character. -JIM MONROE. L -i IN MEMIIHII-XM mrb.

Candle Service With the twenty-seventh annual Christmas Candle Service on De- cember 20, Junior College observed its oldest tradition. For twenty-seven years the students, faculty members, and friends of Junior College have commemorated the Yuletide season by assembling in the gymnasium for the singing and the playing of Christ- mas music and the taking part in the candle lighting service. In the service this year the Christ- mas spirit in the school was por- trayed by Mr. Charles Smith, '25, Donald Stephenson, '50, and Charles Smith, Jr., '51, The story of the first Christmas was read by Jeanne Waldvogel, '50, and special music was furnished by Harriett Smith Weible, '37. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Josef Rosenstein, played Pre- lude by Alex Guilmantg and the chorus, directed by Mr. Iden Reese, sang Jesu Dulcis Memoria by Vit- toria and Jingle Bells, by Ray Charles. ' Other students who participated in the assembly were: JciAnne Deal, Betty Schulteis, William Oldham, Mitzi Hurt, and Robert Tompkins. I . Page10 THE JAYHAWK FRE SHMAN CLASS V--' .

SPANISH CLUB Don Stephenson Cleef Tren! Barbara Blake, Patsy Rieber. Spanish Elllll Esther Metaxes was crowned Miss Pan-American at the twentieth an- nual Junior College Fiesta, which climaxed the activities of ,the El Como Se Dice Club. Escorted to the stage by Chester Trent, president of the club, Miss Pan-America was crowned by Prof. J. M. Osma, head of the Spanish department at Kansas University. Attendants to the queen were Shirley Friedel, Lois Henry, Georgia Adams, and Mona Hughes. For the night of Friday, April 14, the gymnasium of Junior College was transformed into a Mexican cabaret. Following the pageant in which twenty-one girls represented the Pan- American countries and the United States, native songs and dances, a Spanish comedy, and a Spanish skit were presented. Other features of the Fiesta were strolling minstrels, flower sellers, and native refreshments. Another of the worthwhile tasks completed by the Spanish Club was the annual Clara Barton school Christmas party held there Decem- ber 22. Members of the club dis- tributed popcorn balls, cookies, candy canes, apples, oranges, and candy to the Mexican students. During the school year the Span- ish Club presented monthly programs, visited Mexican cafes and theaters, and attended the annual Cervantes Day at the University of Kansas. Leading the club were Chester Trent, president: Patsy Rieber, vice- presidentg Barbara Blake, secretary- treasurerg Don E. Stephenson, pro- gram director, and Jim Jester, as- sistant program director. Miss Vio- letta Garrett and Mr. Howard Adams sponsored the Spanish Club. Chester Trent, president of the Spanish Club, tied for first place in a competitive examination in Spanish given by the University of Kansas at the Cervantes Day observation there on April 29. He was awarded the Official Medal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish. The comedie that was presented at the annual Spanish Fiesta was given by Esther Metaxas, Charles Smith, Chester Trent, and Matia Drizes for those at the observance. Miss Violetta Garrett and Mr. Howard Adams accompanied a group of Spanish students to the university. T Page 14 THE JAYHAWK Herman lilnh For the first time at Junior Col- lege the German Club invited the German students of Wyandotte high fschool to join the junior College club. This action was taken because of the few students of German lan- guage at Wyandotte and their desire for club' activity. The club had a vcry active year under the leadership of Bob Nugent, president: Bob Seutter, vice-presi- dent: Laura Mann, secretary, and Bruce Dimmett, treasurer. Miss Vio- letta Garrett sponsored the German Club, consisting of about forty mem- bers. . Thef Sauerkraut Essen, the an- nual banquet held at the St. Luke's Lutheran Church, was one of the outstanding meetings of the year. Another was the Christmas meeting held December 21, in the annex. The Christmas play Krippenspiel was given with Dorothy Ross and Bob Nugent taking the leading roles. Some of the interesting speakers on the programs were Dean J. F. Wellemeyer, Miss Olga Alber, who recently returned from a trip to Ger- inany, and Lothar Knauth, a German- born student. Then, too, there was the Christmas Sing when the Ger- man Club sang 'lKommet Ihr Hirten and a verse of Silent Night. French Elnh The Morocco Rendezvous, the only all-school formal dance of the year, was sponsored by the French Club on March 10, and was held in the junior College gymnasium. The exotic tropic atmosphere of a French Moroccan night club was effected by the elaborate decorations and the use ,of ,colored lights. Music for the 'forrnal party was by the Les Parisiens orchestra. Le Cercle Francais, although smaller than the other language clubs, upheld its reputation for being one of the most active organizations. The club was under the guidance of Mr. Howard Adams. Dorothy Crisp was the president. 'A picnic started off the year for the French Club. Other activities throughout the school year consisted of monthly programs, attending French: movies, and a banquet at the Green Parrot. 'At the Christmas Sing held De- 'cember 22', in the hall of the Horace Mann building, the French Club sang Ce Matin and a verse of Silent Night. MMYW, Y , Y I l i i ..

Tennis and linlf Blue Devil golfers and netsters will show their hospitality and their abil- ity to the visiting aggregation from other Conference schools Friday af- ternoon, May 12. The tennis team has had a rather poor season. However, the boys have been hindered by bad weather. It is certain 'that the locals will be in there fighting Friday afternoon. The golf squad has won the ma- jority of its matches. They will be strong contenders for the loop title. The local foursome of Bob Stewart, Dave Gilman, Sam Allinich, and Gene Szczygiel has shown its power on several occasions. Stewart holds the record of 63 on the par 71 Vic- tory Hills course. ' The tennis matches will be held on the Klamm Park court, and the golf matches will take place at Victory Hills.

Liana Eyre The Junior College Players, under the direction of Miss Mary Ellis Graham, presented the play, jane Eyre, as their annual production, J an- uary 12, in the Wyandotte high school auditorium before one of the largest and most appreciative au- diences in recent years. The play, which was adapted by jane Kendall from Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre, took place in Thornfield Hall, near the town of Millcotre, England, in the 1840's. The story began with a new gov- erness, Jane Eyre, arriving at Thorn- field Hall. Jane was fascinated with gloomy Thornfield in spite of hints by the superstitious maid, Leah, that it was haunted. She loved her little French pupil, Adele, and the kindly housekeeper, Mrs. Fairfax, and when a handsome, dark man came striding in and fired questions at her, she demanded his business . . . and then discovered that he was Mr. Rochester, her employer!

Ehnrus and Ilrchestra The music department has always held a place of honor at Junior Col- lege and this year was no exception. The orchestra was active during the first semester, playing on several oc- casions including the N.E.A. Week convocation, the jane Eyre produc- tion, and the Christmas program. The orchestra was under the direc- tion of Mr. Josef Rosenstein, a mem- ber of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra. Because of a lack of bal- ance in instruments the .course in orchestra was dropped the second semester. ' The Chorus has had a very suc- cessful season under the direction of Mr. V. Iden Reese. There were forty members in the organization. The first semester group performed at numerous assemblies, the outstanding event being the Christmas candle service. The first part of the second semester was given over to the re- hearsal for the Easter cantata, Olivet to Calvaryl' On the evening of Palm Sunday the chorus joined the choirs of the First Baptist Church for a performance. The cantata was given for the Easter service for the students and faculty on Thursday of Holy Week. The last performances of the chorus will be for commencement and baccalaureate services.

The Annex served as the Student Union Room. Under the guidance of the Campus Committee of the Student Governing Body, the Annex was open from 9 until 2 o'clock, so that students hav- ing free time could go there to dance, eat, and visit with friends. Heading the Student Governing Body were Mike Spaight, president: Cliff DeMoss, vice-president, and Betty Schulteis, secretary.

Unesco This year, along with the many other clubs open to Junior College students, a new organization was formed: The United Nations Educa- tional, Scientific, and Cultural Organ- ization was organized for the first time under the able 'leadership of President, Bob Nugent: Vice-Presi- dent, Dale Mullins, and Secretary- Treasurer, Rose Marie Bachman. These officers, along with a great portion of the student body, joined forces and collected 588.88 to con- tribute to the CARE-UNESCO book fund for Europe. A letter commending this organiza- tion for its fine contribution was received from Miss Flavel Bames, who is connected with the CARE offices in New York City. It was Miss Barnes who visited Junior Col- lege in February and explained the CARE book fund.

When evaluating the merits of the Devils by comparison with their op- ponents, it must be remembered that two of these opponents, Kemper and Wentworth, have sponsored tank squads for several years. The impor- tant thing, though, is that junior College has made great progress in the direction of a permanent water squad. The coach, Mr. Bill Clary, deserves great credit for a superb job. l SWIMMERS ROW 7: Mike Spaighf, Richard Fox, Peie Werp, Berry Lows, Jeff Hampion, and Vernon Cooper, manager.

Fuuthall junior College history was made in the fall of 1949 as the Blue Devils ran up a skein of eight consecutive grid triumphs to present the school an undefeated season and the Inter- state conference championship. Credit for the quick recovery from the disastrous 1948 campaign when the Devils lost seven contests must be given to the coaches and the players. Student spirit was at a low ebb in September of 1949, and it was a difficult task to obtain support for the team. The opening game, an 18-0 win at Iola, was well-received, but when the Devils downed the Graceland Yellow Jackets on their own turf, 15-6, the institution began to jump. A Kemper Military School came to Kansas City on October 8, and went home with a 25-20 setback in one of the most exciting games played by a Devil squad in recent years. The following week end Baker Uni- versity of Baldwin, Kansas, sent its B team northward only to have it lose 6-0. Four wins in four games. Was it possible? The cynic said: Well, we've got the roughest part of the schedule to go. We'll lose to Indepen- dence and Chillicothe. Fort Scott Junior College hosted the Blue Devils in the next fray, and lost 12-6. The Wentworth Red Dragons were topped on their own field, 19-6. Independence and Chilli- cothe were yet to be played. A November 5 Independence Junior College was downed 14-13 in a hard- fought tussle at Wyandotte stadium. A few of the cynics were quieted. Some even changed sides. Five nights later the Devils took on the Ducks from Chillicothe before a packed house at the Wyandotte Field. It was the locals' Homecoming and Chillicothe was ripe for an up- set. Kansas City did the upsetting by scoring almost at will in defeat- ing the Ducks, 41-14. By this time no one ridiculed jun- ior College football. Six Devils were awarded first team berths on the Conference all-star squad. The nod went to Don Hursh, end: john Con- ner, tackle: Fred Smith, guard: Paul Weber, center: Bill Tierney and Charles Priddy, backs. The second team roster included john Malnar, back, and Louis Spandle, end. Hon- orable mention went to Gene New- bold, tackle: Jack Walling, center, and Charles Hudson and J erry Fran- cis, backs. THE JAYHAWK Page 19 .Basketball Enthusiasm ran high as the cage season of 1949-50 rolled around. The brilliant success of the football team coupled with the Interstate confer- ence basketball championship in 1949 gave everyone an optimistic outlook for the season. Although the cage squad was forced to take a spot be- hind the Chillicothe Ducks in the league standings, the Devils played ball every minute they were on the floor. The Devils established themselves as the team to beat in the confer- ence after their showing in the pre- season tourney at Chillicothe. The first tilt of the regular season gave the Heidermen a 72-57 triumph on the home floor. Eight successive wins followed before Kansas City dropped a heartbreaker, 45-40, to Wentworth on the Red Dragons' court. Three days later the locals dropped their second successive game, another conference fray, to the Chilli- cothe Ducks at Chillicothe. The score was 61-55. Fort Scott and Independence jun- ior colleges were rudely treated as guests of the Devils to give Kansas City two more on the credit side. But Iola on its own court was tough and the Blue Devils were dropped by the Red Devils, S0-45. The first home loss in sixteen starts came to the Devils as the Graceland Yellowjackcts came from behind in the last few minutes of play to drop the locals 58-54. This was the third and final loop defeat for Kansas City. With a certain amount of revenge, the Devils proceeded to thump the Chillicothe Ducks, 67-60, in the home finale. The game was one of the smoothest of the campaign. Chanute and Coffeyville junior colleges fell to the Devils for the second time, and the schedule came to a close with a 69-42 triumph over luckless Kemper. A hastily arranged exhibition be- tween Kansas City and Baker Uni- versity seniors ended with K. C. on the short end of a 60-48 count. The loss of Pat Nugent at the semester was a definite blow to the Devils. Pat, though not a high scorer, was a coach's delight when it came to teamwork. i Two members of the starting five were named to the Conference all- star team. They were Bill Dollard and Ken Callaway. Both were placed at the guard position in order to make room for big Garland Camp- bell, classy center from Chillicothe.

Callaway averaged 11.6 points in fifteen games, and J ack Pridey averaged slightly more than 10.0 points per game.. Members of the reserves had their work cut out for them. These men- Bill Brown, Walter Haskins, Charley Hudson, Bob Stewart, Bill Strumillo, and Herby Higgins-acquitted them- selves with credit when they per- formed. Page 20 THE JAYHAWK Inlliqu Imps The Indigo Imps can proudly say that this has been the most success- ful year for sports at junior College. This success may be credited partly to the Indigo Imps and cheer- leaders who accompanied the foot- ball team to every game, home and away. The cheerleaders dld a grand job in leading the school yells. They received many compliments from members of competitive colleges, who commented on the spirited group of Junior College rooters. It took many hours of practice for the cheerleaders to work out the new yells that they made for this season. They have been re-paid for all this work by helping Junior College to win first title in footbail, and second in basketball. Outside of attending all the games, the Indigo Imps sponsored the Blue Devil Ball. They also sold white mums for the homecoming day pa- rade to raise additional funds. They sold season tickets for both basket- ball and football games. The officers of the pep club were Dale Mullins, presidentg Rose Marie Bachman, vice-president: Roberta Youmans, secretary, and Bety Schul- teis, treasurer. The cheerleaders for the football season were Norma Jennings, Mary Brown, Shirley Cathers, Shirley Roy, Dale Mullins, and Mike Spaightg for the second semester, Shirley Cathers, Mary Brown, Birdye Hale, Nola Cloud, Dale Mullins, and Mike Spaight. The club was under the sponsor- ship of Miss Erna Penner and lVlr. Iden Reese. Illuh The K Club, varsity lettermen's organization, was its usual active self again this year. Last year the club introduced a medal to be awarded each year to a student who has dis- played meritorious unselfishness in the service of the school. The first award was presented to Rose Marie Bachman, editor of The Jayhawk. At an election of officers early in the first semester, Pat Nugent was named to replace Dale Moorman as president. Other officers chosen were Forrest Cook, vice-president: Don Stephenson, secretary-treasurer: John Ladesich and Bill Dollard, business managers. The K Club' with the Indigo Imps sponsored the sale of season tickets 'both for football and basket- ball.

HK CLUB OFFICERS Kenneih Callaway, Bill Tierney, Members of the club sold pencils bearing the basketball schedule in order to defray expenses of the an- nual K Club picnic to be held this year on May 16 at Wyandotte County Lake park. Officers for the second semester were: Bill Tierney, president: Don Stephenson, vice-president: Bill Dol- lard, secretary-treasurer, and Ken Callaway, sergeant-at-arms. Don Slephenson, Bill Dollord. Ma joretles The majorettes, head drum-major- ette Mary Brown and Eleanor Duck- worth, marched with the pep band in Junior College's homecoming day parade. They have twirled for va- rious events at school and for others outside. The twirling, strutting, and acrobatics of the maiorettes have added much variety to school affairs. THE JAYHAWK Page 21 YWCA The YWCA has had various ac- tivities throughout the year. To start the year off, they had a pot-luck supper, welcoming the new members. Besides the pot-luck sup- per, the YW had a backward dance, in which the girls asked the boys, made them corsages, and paid all the bills for that night. They had meet- ings where they had guest speakers. The YW also sponsored a square dance. The halloween party was the highlight of the year. The annex was decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks, painted leaves, black cats, skeletons and crepe paper. Everyone was very eager to have his fortune told. Each year the YW handles the book exchange. They sell books for everyone and take 10 percent out of each book they sell. If the books are not sold they are either retumed to the owner or they may remain until the next semester. ' This year various organizations went together and sponsored the Unesco dance. The YW contributed ten dollars for the Unesco funds. The YW and YM attended the junior College conference held at Coffeyville at the beginning of the year. Kansas City Junior College was represented by Marybelle Evans, Rose Bachman, Roberta Youmans, Sally Grassberger, Jackie Reiling, Bob Tompkins, Dale Mullins, Kenneth Kent, Mrs. Berneice Houdek and Miss Inez MacKinnon. They discussed the various problems of the junior Col- leges, and attended a banquet, and a football game which was followed by a dance. During the latter part of the year the YW and YM attended the three- day conference at Manhattan Col- lege. Those who represented this col- lege were: Marybelle Evans, Mary Brown, Sally Grassberger, Rose Bach- man, Jean Johnston, Matia Drizos, Jackie Reiling, Mrs. Houdek, Miss MacKinnon, and Mr. Howard Adams. They received some new ideas on how to improve their YW and YM and attended banquets and several dances. The officers are: Marybellc Evans, president: Georgia Adams, vice- president: Mary Brown, secretary, and Sally Grassberger, treasurer.

Page 22 THE JAYHAWK Track When the .Interstate track and field meet swings into session this Satur- day afternoon, May 13, at l1Vyan- dotte stadium, local thinclads will be defending two loop marks. Lester Bitner, Devil field man, set the conference javelin record of 180 feet, 3 inches last year at Wentworth. Les will compete in the event again this year. The other Kansas City mark is held by Morrison who ran the 880- yard run in 2.01:8 in 1939. That event ended in a tie. To inspire the local banner car- riers, are a lovely queen and two beauteous attendants. The queen, Helen Sanders, and her two attend- ants, jane Smith and Bobbie Hicks, will reign over the festivities. The royal trio was selected by a vote of the student body and the track team. The local tracksters boast a better than average record this season. They placed second in the Kemper Indoor meet in April. They retumed home to dump the Kemper squad 81-44 in a duel. Then followed a loss to the powerful Wentworth crew. The locals placed second in the Baker relays. All field tinals and track prelimin- aries will be held Saturday afternoon. The track finals begin Saturday eve- ning at 8 o'clock. Mr. Loren French is track coach, and Mr. Herman Grundy is in charge of the touma- ment. In an effort to promote ticket sales for the Interstate Conference Track Meet May 12-13, Mrs. Houdek's Eng- lish classes challenged Mr. Grundy's classes. The contest added zeal to the ticket sale. Perhaps the most outstanding fea- ture of the contest was the appear- ance in the daily bulletin of per- tinent announcements. The one that started the encounter began, The battle is on! The weapons-gerunds and participles at twenty paces. Each day brought forth more poetic results, such as Shelley wished that he could be as free, as unfettered as his spirit. He longed to be a mes- senger for the West Wind and to fly with it in the same carefree style that characterized the Skylark which looked neither 'before nor after' and did not pine for 'what is not'. Now in a more modernistic tone if your 'heart knows what the wild goose knows' and if you must go where the wild goose goes,' be at Wyandotte stadium May 13. TRACK QUEENS .lone Smith, Helen Sanders, Bobbie Hicks. Hnmnnuininq Parade On old fashioned surrey drawn by palomino horses and bearing the queen and her two attendents led the 1949 Junior College Homecoming parade. Marching on either side of the queen's surrey was an honor guard made up of members of the Indigo Imps. The queen, Nola Cloud, and her two attendants, Betty Schulteis and Helen Ulmer, reigned over the affair proclaimed by Mayor Clark E. Tucker. Following the queen and her two attendants was the spirited pep band, led by two Junior College co-eds, Mary Brown, head drum-maporette, and Eleanor Duckworth. Next was the French Club, which was made up of a nightclub, com- plete with chairs, tables, waiter, eus- tomers, a French poodle, and a French model. The Spanish Club was represented by a float which pertained to a ty- pical Spanish street scene. The float of the YWCA and the YMCA showed a Blue Devil herd- ing some Chillicothe Ducks into the poultry house ready for slaughtering. Other floats represented the In- digo Imps, K Club, German Club, Dramatics Club, and the various so- cial clubs. Altogether there were about 20 or 30 floats which included several new, shiny convertables. After the victorious football game cA.,vVcAA,-.A,v..Afs with Chillicothe Business College the homecoming dance was held in the gymnasium. Nola Cloud was chosen by the football team and was crowned by Charles Priddy. Gene Moore and his orchestra played. Each girl wore a white mum cor- sage with a blue tie, which was sold by the Indigo Imps to raise money. The Imps presented the queen with a bouquet of red roses at the dance. Hallin For the First time Radio Produc- tion has been offered this' year at Junior College. The class meets every other day to study radio procedure and to rehearse scripts. Each time there is a different director, and as- sistant director. The students select their own cast and their own scripts, or write original scripts. They broadcast every other Wednes- day over station KCKN at 8:00 p.m. The second semester students bought a new amplifier out of their fees. This will remain at the school, for all radio classes. Miss Mary Ellis Graham is the teacher of the class. Adventure-Taking a test for which you haven't studied.-Frances Fagan. Shot gun-One which is usually shot in Mr. Harvey's class.-Mary Brown. THE JAYHAWK Page 23 LITERARY Q A Little Longer It was midafternoon on a warm spring day in May, and Arnold Field was crowded as it had never been crowded before. Great throngs of ex- pectant people-sorne young, some old, some tall, some short, some heavy, some thin-were pushed up against a temporary wire fence that had been erected for this mammoth occasion. Youngsters were scurrying here and there with cotton candy and soda pop in their grubby little hands. Groups of interested elders stood around discussing the last time that such a famous aviator had come to town. It was now 2:00 o'clock and in precisely fifteen minutes Art Johns was scheduled to try out a new model airplane. Right now though, he sat calmly in a press box with his lovely fiancee. Sitting there-he with his dark hair and skin and dressed in a snow- white flying costume, and she with her golden hair and fair skin and wearing a sky-blue organdy dress- they made a striking picture. They sat there looking at each other but saying nothing for long periods of time. Then Sue broke the silence. Art, don't you think you ought to go down now? It is almost time. Yes, darling, I guess I'd better. I won't be up for long: just long enough to get the motor warmed up, really. Then our waiting will be all over. We'll go to the preacher this afternoon, soothed Art. Yes, I know, dear, but we've waited so terribly long. You will be careful, won't you? pleaded Sue. Art took Sue's tiny hands in his and looked hungrily at her upturned babyish face. You bet your life I'll be careful! I wouldn't want to miss our visit we're paying this afternoon. With this promise and a back- ward, longing glance at Sue, he hur- ried down the stairs and onto the field where his plane was waiting. The crowds began cheering and ap- plauding. Above the din, Sue heard the mighty engines of the plane start. Then he was off. Up and up he scared into the cloudless sky. Oh, God in Heaven, please bring him back safely to mel We've waited so long, prayed the lovely young miss in blue. just then one of the engines be- gan sputtering and before long it was evident that Art was in trouble- serious trouble. The crowd of peo- ple grew silent-most of them too frightened to do anything. Some- where the plaintive wail of a siren was sounding. People began to move then in every direction-everyone that is, but a golden-haired girl. She stood where Art Johns had left her. Oh, God, she begged, please don't let him crash! But it was too late. The plane was plunging to the earth in a nose dive. With a mighty crash and a vvAwAA A Dreameris Dream Most people call me a dreamerg' perhaps I am. Let me relate my hopes to you, and then you may pass judgment. If I could choose the kind of world I would like to live in, it would be a world where peace reigned supreme. There would be no I-Iitlers to threaten and terrify the peoples of the earth. As a re- sult the people would be happy, healthy, pleasure-loving individuals with clean minds and pure hearts. These people would be well-educated and church-minded souls. They would not know the meaning of housing shortages, food rationing, and corn- pulsory military training, because there would be houses enough, food aplenty, and no need of military forces in a world where peace reigns supreme. Laughter would be heard my dream world 'round. Sickness would be reduced to a minimum with pre- ventatives and cures for such dreaded diseases as polio and cancer. Race, creed, color, and language would not be barriers to international friend- ship, but helpmates. Fear, depression, hunger, strife, hatred, sin, would be just words in the dictionary of the world. The Prince of Peace would be able to look down upon this dream world of mine and thing of it as a task well completed. To have such a world as this one is my hope. Do you think me a dreamer?-Rose Marie Bachman. great burst of flame, it smacked the field. Rescue men dragged a still, lifelessbody from the charred ruins minutes later. People commenced gasping and crying. And high up in a press box stood a lone, pathetic, forgotten figure-the figure of a sob- ridden young girl who would have to wait a little longer for her Art. -Rose Bachman. ,Out of the Silence He rested quietly for the first time since this illness had seized him. Last night had been perfectly peace- ful. Awful is the power of pain, and strange is the relief that follows its spasms. He had taken to his bed some months ago. His headaches had increased in their intensity and per- sistancy to a point where the slight- est movement produced the tortures of the damned. His body, frail at best, had slowly wasted away into a pathetic nothingness. His mind, however, remained clear, and his skill at conversation was not dulled or in- jured in the least. He enjoyed discussions and often engaged me as his listener for I was his constant companion. His talks were frequently punctuated by unex- pected cessations of speech. During these pauses, his face, normally quite pleasant, writhed and strained in un- bearable agony. But he never ut- tered a complaining sound. It was during these pauses that his fortitude or self-discipline, call it what you will, commanded respect from all. His condition remained unchanged until several weeks ago. Then slowly he seemed to fight his way back to- ward health. He had reached his crisis and had passed it! As his health improved, our conversations lengthened. He talked of his plans and unrealized ambitions. Yester- day, as he was commenting on the instability of life, he was again seized by that excruciating pain. His eyes widened for an instant, his mouth tightened, and then relaxed forever. I sat by his bedside and studied that mouth. It had laughed and talked but a moment ago. The room yet echoed its voice. It had been alive with dreams and ambitions. Now it cried out with thunderous silence-the most tangible evidence of the intangible might of death. My thoughts brought to me the ex- pressive lines: These be three silent things: The falling snow, The hour before the dawn, The mouth of one just dead. -Thad Nugent. Page 24 THE JAYHAWK Life in a Mirror It has been said that if walls could talk, we would hear many a won- drous secret from them. It is my opinion, though, that the conversa- tion of walls would merely be back- fence gossip compared to the things that the mirror reflects every day. From the moment man first learned that a bit of glass coated on one side with a shiny substance would reflect his image, mirrors have taken their places in the life of the world. These shiny pieces of glass have re- flected every action and reaction down through the ages in a manner resembling a motion picture as it flashes across the screen. From the periscope of the death dealing sub- marine, to the flash of a signal of mercy, to the reducing and enlarg- ing mirrors of the microscope and telescope, the role of this amazing glass has been great. Yet, I think no other mirror could tell any story more interesting than the simplest tale that the mirror in the front hall at home could relate. What could be more interesting than to look a lady squarely in the face and watch her expression as she daubs on her make- up? How that hall mirror must her her laugh when it sees her pucker lips, squint her eyes, wrinkle nose, and then daintily spread a red coat of lipstick about her month. Or tell perhaps my hall mirror would you of the time some gentleman has glanced at himself and then frowned at the poor shave he gave himself that morning. I'm sure that mirror of mine must have chuckled when the kitten tried to fight its reflec- tion, or smiled gently when the baby played patty cake wih the cherub on the other side of that wall of glass, or wept a bit when grandfather died, or beamed as the young bride and groom kissed in that shiny oval. I've often wondered too if that kindly old mirror didn't look a bit worried whenever the doctor passed by it. Yes, my mirror in the hall could tell a fascinating story. Yet some- times I wonder if it could tell us something more. I wonder if that lady, who so carefully put on her out- ward beauty, ever stopped to see if her inner self was shabby or not. How many people are ready to fight something that is no more threat- ening than the kitten's reflection? Sometimes I wonder if the gentle- man noticed whether those lines in his face were earned gracefully, or if the newlyweds realized the true promise of their lover's kiss. Yes, it has been said that walls Brotherhood, Maker of Peace Thesis: Can brotherhood be the key to lasting peace? On the deck of a burning ship in the Pacific Ocean four chaplains knelt praying to God above. Each of these four chaplains was of Ia different religious belief, but they were all knelt there together praying to the same God. ' Why had they knelt on a burning ship? They were there because when their mighty ship had been torpedoed there had not been enough life AAA, Struggle for Existence With a snarl the creature bared his razor-sharp fangs and whirled for the kill. A stifled cry of alarm rang out and then all was quiet. Shaken pale but uninjured his aggres- and sor picked himself up, brushed off the dust, and undaunted rushed back to the attack. Swiftly the creature, with a careless gesture of his huge paw, knocked him senseless upon the ground. He lay very still. After a time he awoke and slowly regained his senses. His gaze rested upon the mass of fur sprawled comfortably under the tree, asleep. Aha! he thought. Revenge! With an ugly gleam in his small, green eyes, he stealthily stalked the beast. On he crept. Finally, when he reached a spot where he could hear the heavy breathing of the animal he halted and then sprang. With expert pre- cision he hopped from place to place stabbing sharply and rendering sting- ing blows. With a howl Spot awoke, bit, and scratched furiously. Ooo! That nastly little flea was mean.- Edward Burwell. ' The Fiesta Samba Way down in the school of K.C.'s J.C. Where people are happy they always have good times.

And so, these four chaplains had given up their life belts, their chance for escape, to the other men and boys. That is why they were there. These chaplains were knelt in prayer, asking for the safe deliv- erance, not of themselves, but of the others. Did these four men stop to ask each man or boy what his nationality or religion was before giving them their life belts? Indeed not! Na- tionality and religion were unimpor- tant! The chaplains knew only that other men needed their aid, and so they helped them as best they could by giving up their life belts to them. A great example for National Brotherhood Week was set by these four courageous chaplains. This year the week of February 16 through 23 was designated as National Brother- hood Week. Brotherhood- is not something to be practiced just one week a year, but it is something to be practiced every day of the week, every week of the year. For if the world is to have lasting peace broth- erhood must be universally practiced! --Rose Marie Bachman. Sweet Is the Honey Can this be I? Honey is running over my lips.

THE JAY!-:AWK Page 25 Every Man Is Entitled to a Job Famous Sayings Thesis: Every man should be given an equal chance to prove himself. Every man is entitled to a job whether he is black or white, Italian or Greek, Catholic or Protestant. His color, race, and creed should be considered as only minor factors when a person with ability is trying to make a place for himself in the world. One's honesty, character, preparation, and experience should be con- sidered first by every employer, but unfortunately this is not the case in our United States where everyone is supposedly created equal. We may have been created equal: but whether or not we remain equal, is another question. When a Negro with outstanding ability and a white man with medi- ocre ability are being considered for a position, why should the color of his skin enter into the picture? God created all of us, not just those who are white. Why should the way in which a person worships God or the country in which his parents were born make a difference as long as he is capable and willing? One God created Cath- olics, Protestants, and Jews, and the same God created the world. Surely if we were not meant to live and work together as fellowmen, we would not have been put on the same earth. Sometimes I believe that God made such a mixture as a test to see if we are really as charit- able, kind, and open-minded as we claim to be. How can we build a strong, united nation if we are not capable of work- ing side by side? True is the old saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. How can we unite the people of the world and expect everlasting peace when we do not have peace among ourselves? It seems to be hard to fight this situation because people always have a logical-sounding excuse ready when they are questioned: however, it is usually very easy to see that they are having as much trouble trying to convince themselves as they are trying to convince everyone else. During these uncertain times a problem of this type should be fought more and harder than ever before because a nation that can work to- gether is a hard nation to beat.- Virginia Lembo.

What Teamwork Can Do . Juicias Gastricus, mighty keeper of the gates of the Esophagus, relaxed in an atmosphere of calm uneventfulness that had characterized the entire day. He had taken care of two of the day's three scheduled rush hours with little or no trouble. Lettusic Saladus with her usual sweet manner had passed through the gates not thirty minutes ago. His heart Huttered every time she passed. He was rather attached to her because she had such a fresh, crisp air about her. Otis Mealicus had passed through early that morn- ing. It was always nice to greet Otis because he was usually one of the first visitors and had such an appealing warmth to him. Aqua Puritus, a rather colorless chap fbut by far the most frequent visitorl had made several calls and was due for quite a few more before the day was through. All in all, it had been a rather pleasant day. Juicias wriggled himself into a comfortable position and proceeded to enjoy the peace and quiet. As he rested there, he was rudely jerked back to reality from his musings by a tremendous commotion outside of the gates. He quickly jumped to his feet and prepared himeslf for action. No well-meaning person would cause that much racket at the gates of the Esophagus. He cautiously stretched forth his hand to open the gates when they were flung open from the outside. There, leering in contemptu- ously, stood none other than one of Juicias' arch enemies, Banana Split- ticus. Not a word was uttered as the two squared off. Juicias, with cat-like agility, sprang at the intruder and the two grappled and rolled on the floor. As they fought, the noise of their battle shook the very Eso- phagus itself, and several thunderous roars echoed up into the far halls of the Trachea. Juicias, however, was well trained for his job, and Banana Splitticus soon was lying at his feet. He trussed him up well and threw him into an obscure corner. Juicias returned to his seat, for he felt considerably weakened as a result of the combat. No sooner had he sat down than the gates were again flung open and in strode an- other unwelcome guest, Chocolatus Maltus. juicias grasped the intruder by the leg and they both tumbled to the floor. The fight with Banana Splitticus had been no picnic and the weakening effects of the struggle were beginning to tell on Juicias. Nevertheless, he fought valiantly and fiercely. So violent was the battle that Juicias did not hear' the gates as they opened behind him. Through the open portal slithered a tough looking blond with her hair piled high of her head. She surveyed the battle through cold, cruel eyes. It was Dairy Queenius. She slunk up behind the struggling pair and felled poor Juicias with one -well-aimed blow of a spike heel slipper. After helping Chocolatus to his feet, she unbound Banana Splitticus. The three scowled darkly at the walls of the Esophagus and at the still form of Juicias Gastricus. I don't like it down here, growled Dairy Queen- ius. Neither do I, Chocolatus'Maltus retorted. Let's go back upstairs, suggested Banana Splitticus. So up the stairs they went.-Ken- neth Collins. Page 26 THE JAYHAWK The Old Man They wereia pathetic, heartbreaking pair as they made their way un- certainly down the aisle of the auditorium. He wore his faded Civil War uniform with an awkward grace-the medals dulled by time, as a memory is blurred by age. His carriage was firm, as though he remembered that defeated cause of long ago-as though the M cause still must be upheld. His with- ered old face was withdrawn and worn with an old hurt-an old dis- illusionment. The lines about his mouth were permanent, and his eyes were old with a wisdom of sights be- held in youth that make youth flee the eyes. Beside him paced his wife. Small, delicate, white-haired, she walked with her arm through his. A fleet- ing smile crept about the corners of her mouth and lingered for a mo- ment at her eyes. They were bright L- those eyes - and youthful - as though still' innocently beholding the wonder that is youth. But beneath the brightness, the intent observer might have seen the truth. The long battle waged to keep those eyes youthful-to combat the despair and hopelessness of another pair of eyes. The audience stirred as the pair approached the stage. They won- dered what the old man would say on this, the anniversary of the Gettysburg dedication. The young veterans of World War II eyed him curiously. He had battled in the Confederate Army and had returned north to live out his embittered life among the enemies that were his countrymen. Now he was the only one left who had seen the great con- flict between the Americans-and he had been among the enemy. He seated his wife in the front row and, without the comforting pres- sure of her fingers on his arm, he haltingly mounted the steps to the stage. He studied the floor until it was his time to speak. Then he sur- veyed the audience swiftly-power fully. His eyes were compelling- suddenly free from despair. Years ago, he began, a man spoke at the dedication of a ceme- tery. That man was Abraham Lin- coln, and at that time he was my foe. But he said all there is to say --where free people gather-about the debt of man to fellow-man. He paused. When he spoke again, his voice was still clear and strong. I can say nothing more. I can only repeat what Horace Greeley once said of the War Between the States. 'A war of embittered countrymen is the most hideous of all wars.' He was right. Today, a continual war is being fought between countrymen-between races, colors, creeds, beliefs. His Mary and Moe at the Hi-Ho are giving the business up. They say that one year with the students and certain members of the faculty walk- ing out without paying this first name is Paul?J is enough. Who can blame them? Thesis: There is something about street cars that bring out the Worst in men. Have you ever noticed how a perfectly adjusted, normal human being acts on a street car? There is something about a street car that brings out the greedy, hostile animal characteristics in even the best of men. He will sit and stare unblinkingly at any fellow passenger who attracts his attention, completely ignoring the other's discomfort. Under this Books I think that I shall never see, A school book that looks good to me. A book whose pages are full of print, Lying in libraries gathering lint. A book that stares at me all day, Begging me to study, but I say, NAY. A book that I could prosper from, But all I can think of is having fun. Books are read by nuts like me, But only an idiot can write one, you see. -Frances Fagan. Bells Hear the Dean with the hells- Silver Bells! What a rattle of dark foreboding their clanging foretells!

I have learned that the important thing is for us all to wage the greatest war of our lives-the war against hate. When he returned to his seat, the silence that filled the auditorium was more eloquent than any applause could ever be.-Ruth Ann Meyer. scrutiny the one who is being stared at soon begins to wiggle. But even this does not stop his tormentor. And when two cars, bound in opposite di- rections, chance to stop side by side, his behavior is even more appalling. He will sit there and blandly stare through the two panes of glass at the person sitting not more than eighteen inches directly opposite him, who probably sits, just as calmly, re- turning the stare. And why is it that a person for- gets all the manners he ever knew in just the few minutes he is wait- ing for a street car? QAllowances are made for the behavior of Kan- sas Citians, who have to Wait more than just a few minutesj He will stand there politely, perhaps dis- cussing the peculiarities of the weather with his fellow waiters, until the car comes, and then-bedlaml It's every man for himself in the struggle to get aboard. Did you ever see a gentleman at a party whose elegant manners imme- diately drew him to you? You know the kind of fellow I mean. He as- sists the ladies in taking off their wraps, almost before they are in the door: he procures their refreshments, selflessly ignoring his owng he lights their cigarettes before they have defi- nitely decided to smoke oneg these and other charming little gestures serve to endear him to every woman present. Well, don't pass final judg- ment until you have seen him on a street car. Nine chances out of ten he burrows through, the crowd in order to get a seat, then sits staring at the evening paper, plainly ignor- ing all the ladies who are standing. To all those who are unmarried, I say: Pick your mate on a street car. People are at their worst there. If you see someone whose behavior appeals to you there-you better work fast, he is the cream of the crop.-Doris McCormick. THE JAYHAWK Page 27 Caduceus the Hard Way Parody on the Song Dearie- Yvomen Hoe a I-Iarcl Row, But Can Make It AVERS MARY CATHERINE COLGLAZIER, M.D. When I was ushered into the doctor's office in the Hixon Laboratory Building at the University of Kansas Medical Center, I was immediately captivated by the radiating charms of the bright eyed, sandy-haired Dr. Mary Catherine Colglazier. The interview which ensued during that hour and a half will be remembered by me for quite some time. At present, Dr. Colglazier, a former junior College student, is actively engaged in the heart research activities now in progress at the K.U. Medical Center. These heart research proj- ects are supported by annual grants from the American Heart Association, the Agnes Lee Haskell Memorial fund, and the general fund of the K.U. Medical Center. Investigations are being conducted by Dr. Colglazier concerning the re- lationship of mineral metabolism to vasospastic phenomena. We feel that a deficiency of certain minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, and po- tassium, has a definite effect upon the cardio-vascular system. Vasa- spasm, an expansion and constriction of blood vessels, is often associated with conditions of high blood pres- sure, coronary artery insufficiency, and peripheral blood disorders, Dr. Colglazier pointed out. Our general plan of investigation includes a study of the effects of va- rious mineral deficiency states upon the coronary and peripheral circula- tion in the experimental animal, the dog, and a study of patients with sus- pected mineral deficiency states, continued Dr. Colglazier. By means of an optically recording bubble flow meter, the rate of blood flow through an artery of the experimental ani- mal can be accurately determined. Then, this rate of flow is compared with that obtained after the animal has been rendered deficient in a cer- tain mineral. According to Dr. Col- glazier, this building up and deple- tion of a mineral can be done re- peatedly in a dog by deprivation diets. All patients under clinical ob- servation maintain a constant diet: that is, all food intake is weighed. After the elapse of a short period of time, the absorption and excretion of the various minerals are checked, and this data is further correlated with the patient's state of health. After completing her study of the es- sential minerals, Dr. Colglazier plans to continue her research on the trace elements Cthose present in the body only in minute amountsj which heretofore have been practi- cally ignored by research scientists. Dr. Colglazier graduated from Junior College in 1939 and majored in' bacteriology at the University of Kansas. After graduating from med- wvvvvvvv ical school in 1945, Dr. Colglazier in- terned at the State of Wisconsin General Hospital. She completed her formal residency work in internal medicine and research in Kansas City last July. While at Lawrence, Dr. Colglazier received the Phi Sigma award for the most outstanding re- search work. She is also a member of the Sigma Xi, an honorary so- ciety for scientific research. Inevitably, Mary Catherine Col- glazier acquired the title M.D., for many physicians stem from her fam- ily tree. Her grandfather was a country doctor in western Kansas, and her father practiced in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother also at- tended junior College and' later ob- tained a degree in biological sciences from Kansas City University. At the present time Mrs. Colglazier is do- ing technician's training at the Gen- eral Hospital. Foremost in the mind of Dr. Col- glazier is the friendly atmosphere which prevailed at Junior College. Likewise, she pleasureably recalls her activities with the German Club and the orchestra, where she performed as a violinist. Even today, music remains her number one hobby. While in grade school, this young doctor's only desire was to enter the field of medical research. After the medical school 'bug' bit me, I yearned to work with the patient and do general practicing with research as an avocation, stated Dr. Col- glazier. I am quite interested in the field of psychosomatic medicine, which is really a branch of internal medicine. When the idea of spe- cialization was mentioned, the doctor replied, There is a need for knowl- edge of both general practicing and specialization, but I think cutting a patient up into his eyes, ears, heart, or liver should be avoided since this loses sight of the patient's condition as a whole. I believe that the me- dium between general practicing and specialization is the ideal, she said. Doubtlessly, Dr. Colglazier will continue to stand shoulder to shoul- der and toe to toe with her male competitors. With more women of Dearie, do you remember When we cheered for our football tearn?

C hristine Wenrich NUHTH CENTRAL ACEHEDITATIUN That our junior College is now to he listed as fully accredited hy the great North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is an accomplish- ment, the importance of which can scarcely he realized. This organization does nothing carelessly. Its attitude and investigations are entirely impersonal and completely lacking in sentiment. Our college prepared schedules and reports covering every phase of our work and employing the services of every mem- her of the faculty during a three-month period. It is only fair to say that not all findings were favorahle. Improvement can and will he made in the years immediately ahead. However, the over-all picture of our school was sufficently strong to warrant full accreditation, and this was voted in Chicago on March 29, 1951. It is interesting to note some of the strong points of our college as noted hy the surveyors in their visit on january 8-9. They pointed out that the faculty was congenial, good natured, and seemingly enjoyed a sense of security. This is no douht furthered hy good salaries and an excellent retirement plan. To quote still further on the faculty report, In actual practice the instructional performance of the faculty is energetic, performed within a good classroom situation, and regarded seriously hy the students. , More important, however, is what they said in fields where student par- ticipation was necessary. Our athletic program was highly commended. The extra curricular program was rated superior. It was stated that the students exhihit thorough respect for their school and carry themselves' responsihlyf' The report also contains this statement: Student discipline is not a prohlem in the junior College. The examiners were very favorahly impressed hy the general decorum of the student hody. Good things were also said ahout our lihrary, our guidance work and the success of our transfers to other institutions. Our records are well kept and the general administration of the school is carefully adjusted to the needs of the student. In this short article it would he impossihle to deal with all of the items covered in the twenty-seven page report. Sujice it to say that we are greatly encouraged at the fine things saidg determined to improve wherever any weak- ness was uncovered, and very, very proud of our full and complete accredita- tion hy the North Central Association. -I.
