C hristine Wenrich NUHTH CENTRAL AEEHEDITATIIJN That our junior College is now to be listed as fully accredited by the great North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is an accomplish- ment, the importance of which can scarcely be 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- ber of the faculty during a three-month period. It is only fair to say that not all jindings were favorable. Improvement can and will be made in the years immediately ahead. However, the over-all picture of our school was sujficently 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 by 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 doubt furthered by 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 by the students. More important, however, is what they said in yields where student par- ticipation was necessary. Our athletic program was highly commended. The extra curricular program was rated superior.'f It was stated that the students exhibit thorough respect for their school and carry themselves responsibly. The report also contains this statement: Student discipline is not a problem in the junior College. The examiners were very favorably impressed by the general decorum of the student body? Good things were also said about our library, 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 be impossible 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 pne things said, determined to improve wherever any weak- ness was uncovered, and very, very proud of our full and complete accredita- tion by the North Central Association.

Page 8 THE JAYHAWK BIG Hlill Pllli PHESIHE 'I'-1972 Have you heard the latest? Our classmate Richard Beilharz is running for President of the United States on the Prohibition ticket. Aiding him in his cross country campaign are Secre- tary of State, Mary Hasneuer: Sec- retary of War, Cathryn Guntherg Sec- retary of Defense, O'Neal Thomas- son, and Secretary of Agriculture, Donald Lindsay. While touring the country making campaign speeches, we made our first stop at the Waldorf Astoria, where we were met by the doorman, Robert Tompkins. Escorting us to our table was matre d'hotel Frank Wolf, and waiting tables was Harold Maddox. Furnishing the music for the evening were Dave Wi1son's Triple Threats, featuring Jim Jester on the sax, Dutch Briscoe at the piano, joe Zygarlenski on the drums, and his new vocalist, Bernita Reed. Across the crowded room we spotted our former classmates Barbara fBlakeD Schneider, Paula CFredericksenD Trast, and Anita CMonleyJ Strumillo, who were attending the Red Cross Motor Corps Convention in New York. After finishing our dinner, we left the Waldorf for the airport, where we boarded a Burwell CEdJ DC-3 for our home town, Kansas City, Kansas. We set down at Chicago where the embarrassed hostess, Sue Peniston, picked up our forgotten lunches. Waiting to resume our journey, we strolled by a newsstand, where we noticed the picture of Don Nicholson and the headline Hollywood Dis- covery Makes Good on the cover of Movie Idol. Snatching for Richard an Esquire, which is now edited by we know it we were in dear ole John Augustine, we returned to the plane and met our new pilot Keith Gallehugh. Leafing through a fashion magazine we found a stunning snap- shot of the Powers Model Helen Sanders. Her costume was designed by Bill Brown and Cliff DeMoss. The time passed rapidly and before we knew it we were in dear ole Kansas City. The first stop on our program for the day was our Alma Mater, KAN- SAS CITY, KANSAS, JUNIOR COLLEGE. The dean at the college, Walter D. Haskins, had called a reunion for our class of 1951, after much urging from the assistant dean, Bill Strumillo. The first alumni we saw were Charles A. Alber and his cute wife, Betty, and their three children. Talking to them was Chris Stringfield. We asked Chris what he had been doing and he said that he was a patent lawyer practicing in the John Buterin Professional Build- ing. The elevator operator there was Jeanette Carriger. Standing hopefully beneath the trophy case we saw Jeannette Farlish waiting for a man to stroll by. Lois Henry gave us the latest gossip around the old institu- tion. She should have taken Louella Parsons' place instead of Mary Yu- lich. She told us that Shirley Cathers and Larry Robb were getting married as soon as Larry could find a job as a window cleanerg also that Robert Badgley is now the head of the De- partment of Home Economics at Kansas U. On the faculty board are Carolyn Fendorf and Alfred L. Scherer along with Charles Hudson. Speaking of teachers, we found that Mr. Asendorf had to give up his teaching job be- cause of the demand for Don Rudow. Duane Hubbard, who now has his father's paper business, was talking to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Jack Nixon. Roger Ruby, who was always the quiet fellow of the class, told us that he is an official bootlegger. Richard Hashimoto and Richard Dear were leaving for Africa the following day to do research work on worms. George Holyfield, a min- ister, had Ruth Meyer and Al Ret cornered, trying to convert them to the long and narrow path. joe and Gene Thomas were soliciting new clients for their up-and-coming gar- bage collecting business. Woodyne Bengtson Mann was engrossed in con- versation with Gayle Granberg dis- cussing Gayle's position as secretary of the County Jail. Bob Stewart, the Ben Hogan of the day, took time out from his golf matches to attend the reunion with his associates Joe Walton and Harold Wilcox. Don and Jane fSmithD Willson introduced us to their twins, Mary Ann and David. After chatting with our friends for awhile, we all sat down to a banquet dinner prepared by the faculty of the class of '51. Helping them serve was Charles Hay, who is a traveling sales-. man, and his partner, Gaylord Swartz. After dinner, the alumni sponsored a floor show. The first number was an act by Dorothy Backstrom, a folly- etteg a professional wrestling match between Edward Belan and Fred Hunter. Then Wendell Bynum, Nancy Carey, and Dennis Vernon portrayed a skit on mental institutions, and the last number was a circus clown, Donald Scheloski. We all missed Mitzi CI-Iurtl Stanton, the Warbler of our day, and found that she was unable to attend the party because her baby sitter, Frances Fagan, who is experienced at taking care of CYoungD ones, had attended instead of caring for Mitzi's nine children. Another unable to attend was jeff Hampton-who had sacrificed wine, women, and song for the life of a hermit. After we left the reunion, our chauffeur, Earle Jones, took us on a tour of the city. We saw a sign ad- vertising Chicken Dinners, a specialty of Charlie Ottens. Switching on the radio, we heard a familiar voice, that of Emest Albright over station KMBX as a disc jockey. He intro- duced his guest of the evening, Mrs. Eleanor Straub. The following pro- gram was Ma Perkins Goes East, starring Doris Yendes. Glancing from the car window we noticed a sign which read Vote4Robert Pace for Mayor. That reminded us that an- other classmate was also getting into politics. Dave Gilman was running for Keeper of the Merriam jail. After a strenuous day's work, we arrived at the Town House Hotel. The manager, Joe McCaughey, gave us a welcoming reception. Roger North and Dwayne Follin, bellhops, carried our luggage. The chamber- maid, joan Lackey, offered us every comfort. Also registered at the hotel were two Ambassadors-Mexico's Joe Solis and Germany's Carole Kobets, as well as Howard Kalebaugh, the Hadacol promotion salesman. Settling in our suite on the roof top we turned on the TV set. LaVon Skorupon had taken over the Faye Emerson program and Roy Alexander was the new Bob Hope. Between pro- grams, the announcement for recruit- ing WACS brought us the voice of Lt. Chloeda Schaub and General Vernon R. Cooper. Next on the vldeo's pro- grams was the Covergirl Hour. Dor- othy Sexton was the Model of the Week. Her friend, Dorothy Crisp, modeled her own creations known as Crispy Cottonsf' Recalling the joys and sorrows of ole J.

Page 12 THE JAYHAWK UNESCO One of the most active groups on the campus this year has been the Junior College UNESCO group headed by Charles Hudson, president, and Gayle Granberg, secretary-treas- urer. At Christmas time the Wyandotte County UNESCO council, which is now headed by Miss Christine Wen- rich as president, paid the postage for fifteen packages sent to the small town of Bardenfleth, Germany. February 8, the group sponsored the Sweetheart Hop at which 547.00 was raised for the CARE book fund. Anita Monley and Bill Strumillo reigned over the dance as queen and king of the evening. Students from the Graceland college as well as townspeople attended this gala affair. In early April the Brotherhood Panel from Junior College spoke for the Wyandotte chapter. Praise was given for the interest which junior College has in inter- national relations expressed through UNESCO and the Spanish Fiesta, by the surveyors who interviewed fac- ulty members and students concern- ing accreditation in the North Cen- tral Association. All in all, the UNESCO group has had a very suc- cessful year. Student Governing Body Bill Strumillo headed the Student Goveming Body this year as presi- dent. This is the organization of Junior College which conducts and carries on business affairs concerning the student body and has represen- tatives from every five-hour class. At Thanksgiving time members of the organization took up a collection from students for the children in the orphanage which is located next door to the Horace Mann building. This group also helped the Indigo Imps sponsor the Homecoming parade and dance. Other officers were: Shirley Ashley, vice-president: Martha McWilliams, secretaryg Patricia Ryan, treasurer. Dean Wellemeyer sponsors the group. ACTIVITIES UNESCO Gayle Granberg Charles Hudson STUDENT GOVERNING BODY Shirley Ashley, Bill Strumzllo Martha McWilliams THE JAYHAWK Page 13 French Club Le Cercle Francais was rather limited in activities this year, owing to its small membership. The French Club meetings were unusual in that they always featured a foreign lecturer, who told some- thing of his country and usually showed films. The Club sang Ce Matin and a verse of Silent Night at the annual Christmas Sing. The French Club was under the guidance of Mary Robohn, president: Martha McWilliams, secretary, and Joan Mueller, program chairman. Mr. Herbert Ragsdale is the faculty sponsor. German Club The German Club, composed of both beginning and advanced lan- guage students, held its first meeting of the year on October 11 in the annex. At that time the new mem- bers were initiated and the officers installed. The officers were: Richard Beilharz, president: Ed Howard, vice- presidentg Vernon Carrell, secretary, and Dora Mae Ricord, treasurer. During the year the club sponsored a project to send packages, each containing pencils, a notebook, cray- ons, a wash cloth, hard candy, and soap, to 275 school children in the town of Bardenfleth, Germany, as Christmas gifts. The club also had, in the Home- coming parade, a float representing a castle in the Alps, with students attired in typical German costume. At their Christmas party, held De- cember 20, the members exchanged gifts which were given to a charity organization after the party. The annual dinner was held jan- uary 10, at St. Luke's Lutheran Church. Former German students were guests. One of the last meetings of the German club featured a talk on Swiss customs and impressions of America by Dr. Christian Schmid and his wife, Gisela, of Switzerland. The couple are exchange students, now studying and teaching at K.U. Miss Violetta Garrett is sponsor of the club. I FRENCH CLUB STANDING: Cathryn Gunther, Lura Lu Daniels.

Escorted to the stage by Charles Otten, Miss Pan-America was crowned by Senor William Es- penosa, consul from Cuba. Attend- ants to the queen were Barbara Blake, Jane Smith, Jeanette Carriger, and Carolyn Hoffman. For the night of Friday, April 6, the gymnasium of Junior College was transformed into a plaza of a Span- ish village. Opening the program was a colorful and impressive pageant with American countries represented by the following girls: Argentina, Gerry Swan: Bolivia, Doris Elliott: Brazil, Nancy Carey: Chile, Paula Frederickseng Colombia, Joan Mc- Bride: Costa Rica, Sue Penistong Cuba, Bernita Reed: Dominican Re- public, Mary Yulich: Ecuador, Pat Ryang Guatemala, Mary Kay Has- neuerg Haiti, Carol Kobetsg Hon- duras, Joan Fromholzg Mexico, Pat Hurt: Nicaragua, Estelle Goodrich: Panama, Dolores Mockg Paraguay, Shirley Cathersg Peru, Mary Cedar- landg Venezuela, Lillian Bemardg Uruguay, Edna Meyer, and Salvador, Cathryn Gunther.

Other features of the Fiesta were the specialty numbers, the Span- ish skit, Paz En El Parque, solos by Mitzi Hurt and Dalton Conner, and the strolling minstrels. El Como Se Dice Club The activities of the El Como Se Dice Club were climaxed by the annual Pan-America Fiesta held April 6. The annual Christmas party with the Pinata and Christmas carols sung in Spanish was one of the highlights of the year. Another of the worth while tasks completed by the club was the annual Clara Barton school Christmas party. Members of the club distributed popcom balls, candy, oranges and apples to Mexican stu- dents. During the school year the club presented monthly programs, visited 1 FIESTA QUEEN AND ATTENDANTS Barbara Blakeyjane Smith, Queen jeannette Farlish, Carolyn Hoffman, j eanette Carriger.

THE JAYHAWK Page 15 Candlelighting Program Christmas carols sung and played by the Junior College chorus and orchestra, soft candlelight, Bible read- ing and prayer united the hearts of the faculty, alumni, parents, friends, and students in the common wish for Peace on Earth, at the twenty- eighth annual candle service of jun- ior College. Mr. Iden Reese and Mr. Robert L. Luyben directed the music as has become a custom at this Christmas service. Jean Johnston read the story of the lirst Christmas from the Bible, Luke 2:8-20. Mitzi Hurt accompa- nied her on the piano. Mary Catherine Colglazier, '43, violinist, played Ave Maria by Gounod. She was accompanied by Josephine lXIcConnell, '52. The symbolic ceremony of passing the candle of knowledge from the students of yesterday, to the students of today, to the scholars of tomorrow was the major part of the service. Dr. Hughes Day '35, representing the Past, gave the candlelight to the Present, represented by Bill Strumillo '51, who in tum passed it on to the Future, represented by Harry Schanker '52. After contributing to the scholar- ship fund and receiving lighted candles the audience sang Joy to the World. LaVerne Alt '52 gave the benediction.

From Olivet to Calvary, the tenth annual production of the Easter can- tata which was given before the stu- dent body on March 22, was the major production of the chorus class this year. Under the direction of Mr. Iden Reese, the Chorus sang at other spe- cial occasions including the Christmas sing, the Candlelighting service, and the Brotherhood week convocation. In early March they traveled to the Junior Chamber of Commerce build- ing to sing for the business men at their weekly meeting. The last performances for the group will be at the Baccalaureate service and Commencement exercises. Orchestra Mr. Robert L.

The orchestra's final appearance will be at the graduation exercises on May 23, when they will play among other selections Marche Mili- taire. Go-to-Junior College Program To create a desire by senior high school students to come to junior College next year was the aim of the eight students who traveled to the various high schools in Wyan- dotte County during the third week in April. A skit written and directed by Derlene Meyer was given by the stu- dents. It depicted a scene from col- lege life which included sports, mu- sic, journalism, dramatics, speech, chemistry, and other activities of J un- ior College. Members of the cast were: Derlene Meyer, Frances Fagan, Harry Schanker, Bob Dunnuck, Mitzi Hurt, Eleanor Straub, and David Gilman. Mitzi sang The Best Things in Life Are Free, accompanied by Eleanor. Eleanor played Body and Soul and several boogie numbers. Harry Schanker recited Rudyard Kip- ling's Gunga Din, and Derlene gave a portion of the original essay which won her high honors at the El Do- rado Speech Festival. Dalton Connor played Saint Louie Woman and other numbers on his accordion. After the skit, Dean Wellemeyer talked to the students about the War situation and the advantages of at- tending Junior College.

The students had become candidates after the presentation of Suspect, in which they did out- standing acting or production com- mittee work. An examination board consisting of Mrs. Berneice I-Ioudek and Miss Christine .Wenrich of the faculty ad- mitted the following candidates: Carol Cawood, Carole Kobets, Jean Johnston, Harry Schanker, Jim Crates, Jim Tice, Jack Haden, Lois Henry, Sue Peniston, and Bill San- chez. The cast members elected ofhcers as follows: Harry Schanker, presi- dent: Jack Haden, vice-president, and Carol Cawood, secretary. The group had its first activity of the season when the members formed a line party to see the University of Kansas City Playhouse production of Cyrano de Bergerac, January 14. March 1 was set aside as Delta Psi Omega Day in tribute to the national organization. As a symbol of recogni- tion, the members wore a pink rose, the flower of the fratemity. Woodyne Bengtson Mann and Fran- ces Fagan, who became members af- ter last year's production Jane Eyre, were the fraternity's only second- year participants. Later in the spring a dinner party was held after which the group at- tended a stage play. The group is sponsored by Miss Mary Ellis Graham. uSuspect The Junior College Players pro- duction of the suspenseful drama, Suspect, kept the audience on the edge of their seats until the final curtain came down. The plot lay in the probing of a shrewd newspaper magnate into an unsolved murder that had occurred thirty-tive years before. It was not until the last second of action that the audience could be absolutely cer- tain who had really committed the famous VVishart Nlurders. The cast: Mrs. Smith ..........

AAAA VV Cover Design This year's JAYHAWK cover de- sign, drawn by Jim Tice, was chosen from a group of seven submitted for consideration, by a committee com- posed of faculty members and stu- dents. The contest closed April 6 when the committee met to make its decision. Mr. Neal Evans, Biology instructor, was chairman of the committee. Other members were: Faculty-Mrs. Ber- neice Houdek, Mr. Herman Grundy, and Dean J. F. Wellemeyerg Students Radio Production In its second year as a Junior College speech course, Radio Pro- duction attracted twenty-six students who were interested in radio tech- nique.

Those submitting designs were Victor Peck, Jim Tice, Harry Schanker, Joe Solis, and Walt Has, kins. All the designs were suitable fo: the booklet and all were so attrac- tive that the committee had a dif- ficult time in making a selection. Jin' was awarded a box of chocolates b the Jayhawk staff. Others who en tered the contest will receive extr copies of the booklet. THE JAYHAWK Page 19 YWCA Miss Inez MacKinnon, counselor, outlined the policies and activities of the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciation at an all-girl assembly in Sep- tember. At that time the girls' social clubs agreed to set aside the third Tuesday of each month for YW ac- tivities. At the first meeting of the year, in October, new oflicers were chosen as follows: president, Jean Johnstong vice-president, Mitzi Hurt: secretary, Gayle Granberg, and treas- urer, Gerry Swan. The theme for the year was Cam- pus Problems. The first meeting was on Dating, with the YMCA par- ticipating. The next meeting had the topic Pre-Marriage Problems. Mr. P. K. Houdek, executive secretary Kansas City Social Hygiene Society was the guest speaker. At the March meeting featuring Campus Clothes, Mrs. Gerald Gee, asistant manager of Kay's Clothing Store, spoke on the correct attire for campus life. The last meeting of the year had Leader- ship as its theme. Because of the absence of jean Johnston, president, Mitzi Hurt presided at the last three meetings. During the year several confer- ences were attended by both YM nd YW members. The first was the State Junior College'Conference at Chanute, October 27 and 28. Eight students and two teachers represented the Kansas City district. The Spring Conference for both four-year col- ege and junior college associations as held at Kansas University at awrence April 6 and 7. Three stu- dents and one instructor attended from Kansas City. The YWCA together with two of he social clubs sponsored a back- ward dance on April 13 at Wyandotte ounty Lake. Early in April the new president nd treasurer were elected for next ear. In September the vice-president nd secretary will be chosen from the reshman class. The president is Pat urt and the treasurer Carol Ca- ood. Sponsors are Miss Inez MacKinnon nd Mrs. Berneice Houdek.

During the second semester the Y presented two excellent speakers who discussed current problems before the social science classes. Under the sponsor- ship of the YM two films were shown: It's the Brain That Counts, on alcoholism, and There Were Only Four, a picture on safety. In the early fall, YM members were invited to a joint meeting with the YW at which they gave a skit entitled What We Don't Like About Dating. The YM was represented at three conferences during the year: Harry Schanker and Bill Sanchez attended the state Junior College YM-YW Conference at Chanute in the fall: jim Crates and Harry attended the Spring Conference for colleges at Kansas University in April. Page 20 THE JAYHAWK Homecoming Parade Colors of every hue and shade were mingled together in beautiful floats, streamers, bright shiny cars, balloons, confetti, corsages, posters, and cloth- ing to form one of the most out- standing Homecoming parades in the history of Junior College. Floats were entered by the Spanish, French, and German Clubs, the social clubs, the Jayhawk staff, the Dramatics Club, the YMCA, the YWCA, Delta Psi Omega, the K Club, and the In- digo Imps. The procession was headed by a group of majorettes led by Eleanor Straub. Immediately following was the band, which set the pace for the parade that extended nearly a mile in length. Queen Shirley Cathers '51 and her attendants, jane Smith '51 and Sharon Dill '52 rode in a convertible near the front of the parade. Little Sharon Hammer, daughter of Mr. Clint Hammer, social science instructor, rode with Dean J. F. Wellemeyer, Mayor Clark Tucker, and Superintendent F. L. Schlagle. Sharon wore a white mum corsage with blue ribbon, similar to the cor- sages of the Queen and other Junior College girls. After the game with Wentworth Military Academy, the royal party was introduced at the homecoming dance by Cliff DeMoss, pep club president. After Shirley was crowned by her escort, Larry Robb, they led the first dance. The Indigo Imps, under the direc- tion of Miss Erna Penner, sponsored the parade and party. Spring Sports At this writing the spring sport teams have just begun their inter- school meets, but a look at the per- sonnel on hand gives indications that this year could easily develop into the greatest spring sport season in history. The track squad appears to be a bit better than last year's, while the tennis and golf squads are tremen- dously improved and only a miracle should keep those boys from walking away with all of the booty in the Inter-State meet. In the Inter-State track and field meet at Wyandotte field last year the Blue Devils finished third, be- hind Graceland and Wentworth. Walter Haskins, an outstanding weight man of last season, will be ATHLETICS CHEERLEADERS Jeri' Hampton, jane Smith, Martha McWilliams, Shirley Cathers, Alta Rash, Mike Spaight. FOOTBALL QUEEN jane Smith, Queen Shirley Cathers, Sharon Dill. Nvvv,AWv the main Devil hope in the weights again this year. Haskins broke the Inter-State record by over four feet last season when he heaved the shot- put 44 feet, 4M inches. Don Robertson and Charlie Hud- son, two members of last year's rec- ord breaking medley relay team, are competing this spring, as are Bill Brown and Gene Thomas. Bob Dut- ton, Washington high star last year, is a valuable addition to the team. Tennis Prospects Excellent Tennis Coach Clint Hammer is expecting great things of the tennis squad. Only Don Willson is returning from last year's team but Ray Mercer and Jack Haden, city junior doubles champs and runnerups in the men's divisions of the city meet, are on hand. Charles Hudson will divide his time between track and tennis. The former captain of the Wyandotte high school team is showing improvement at every match and is expected to win his share of victories this season. Although they had a disastrous season last year the netminders should do much better this year. Willson has improved a great deal and the team is full of depth. The tennis team will take in the Inter-State, the Kan- sas statc junior college meet, and several dual affairs. Strong Golf Team Coach Iden Reese is optimistic over this year's golf team. The coach- stated that his biggest problem won't be in winning matches but rather in pick- ing the boys to play in the matches. Lettermen on hand include David Gilman and Bob Stewart. The fresh- men out for the team may take the positions away from the two letter- men as they are capable of playing great golf. The following freshmen appear to have an inside track for a position on the team: Alvin Eason, jim Johnston, Don Swegel, Donald Day and Frank Wasko. THE JAYHAWK Page 2 1 Basketball A record of sixteen victories in nineteen games and becoming unde- feated champions of the Inter-State league were the achievements chalked up by this year's varsity basketball team. Under the tutelage of Coach Al Heider, the Devils made mincemeat of all league opposition and gained revenge on two of the three defeats. The roundball men started the sea- son by dropping a disastrous deci- sion to Coffeyville, 33 to 37. The shooting percentage was the worst to be recorded for the season for the Blue Devils. Devils Lose Opener Six victories followed the lone de- feat before the Devils were sub- merged by Independence 52 to 47. The game was the only one of the season scheduled with Independence and the Pirates gained the honor of being the only team to escape the claws of the vicious Blue Devils without tasting defeat. After the non-league defeat by In- dependence, the Hiedermen put to- gether another string, this time of nine victories. The next to the last game of the season was with Iola. Just a little bit cocky, the Blue fig- ured to knock oh' the Red Devils in the same fashion that they had used earlier in the season. The Blue Devils were undefeated on the home court and this fact, combined with the pre- vious 59 to 48 victory over the Red Devils made the Bluemen look like sure winners. Iola wasn't to be denied, however. Junior College held a big lead with only minutes to go, when the Red Devils caught fire and tied the score. With the score tied and only five seconds left in the game, Gene Lazzo was fouled. A dismal sigh went up from the crowd when Lazzo's free throw popped in, then out. Red Devils Win in Overtime Three overtimes followed with Jun- ior College scoring first every time, and then Iola hit a last minute shot to stay in the game. Don Bain, Iola guard, fired a shot from deep in the far court at the end of the second overtime to tie the score at 63 to 63. It was Bain who a few moments later put in the goal that ruined the perfect Junior College home court record. The climax of the season came in the last game, when the Blue Devils turned back Chillicothe 48 to 44 on BASKETBALL TEAM TOP ROW: Gene Clohecy, Dave Chambers, Bill Vose, jerry Thompson, jack Haden, Alsa Eason.

Coach Al Heider started the sea- son with six lettermen but had only four at the end. Walter Haskins, Bill Brown, Herby Higgins, Bill Strumillo, Bob Stewart, and Jack Pridey were the original six lettermen to start the season. Higgins dropped from the squad and Pridey ran out of eligibility at the semester end. Many Outstanding Freshmen Present on this year's squad were some of the greatest freshmen ever to don a Junior College uniform. Carl McCormick and Gene Lazzo were two outstanding boys in their first year of Junior College ball. Other members of the squad included Ed Hoskings, Jim Johnston, Tom Row- land, Bob Dill and Dave Chambers. One of the outstanding perform- ances of the season was made by Walter Haskins, who hit twenty-nine points against Fort Scott. The as- tounding part was that Haskins missed only two shots. The Juco reserves under Coach Paul Jewell didn't have too good of a season, owing to the constant shift- ing, of personnel. The' B team served its purpose however, that of supplying and developing players for the varsity, as this year's record shows. Basketball Banquet The Junior College Blue Devils, undefeated basketball champions of the Inter-State Conference, were hon- ored at a banquet March 13, at the First Pilgrim Congregational Church. The team's loyal supporters, the Lions Club, again sponsored this fete at which Walt Haskins and Bill Stru- millo were named honorary co-cap- tains of the 1950-51 squad. The invocation was given by Paul Phelps after which Dean Lion Wellemeyer led the group irt a few Junior College songs. Miss Anita Monley played a piano solo, Prelude, and Dalton Conner a number of piano-accordion solos as tributes to the basketball squad. Walter C. White, president of the Lions, presented a toast to the team that had such a memorable season. Responses were made by Dean J. F. Wellemeyer, Coach Alfred Heider, and Assistant Coach Paul Jewell. The principal speaker of the eve- ning was Ray Hanson, Director of Athletics at Illinois State College, who gave an address on the subject Civilization Follows the Ball! Tips-to-student dept.: When waving at a faculty member be sure the hand is at least 18 inches from the nose. 'I- K Page 2 2 THE JAYHAWK Football It's not how the game is played but whether it is won or lost. That's the theme of most of the large uni- versities at the present time, but not at Junior College. Here the non-paid players still fight for the Blue and White but merely for the glory of the school and its honor. This past football season may not have been the greatest season in history but it was a thrill packed one, with enter- tainment and good times for all. The Devils under the tutelage of Coach Loren French won one game, tied one, and lost six. The season was far from a rout. The Blue Devils lost most of their games by three touchdowns or less. It seems William Jewell stepped up its anxiety of collecting manpower and gave scholarships to seven mem- bers of last year's undefeated junior College team. The inexperience and lack of reserve strength, brought on by the William Jewell move, was in force throughout the season, espe- cially so in the first game. lola Junior College, using a two-platoon system, steamrolled the Devils 18 to 0. The score was an exact reversal from the year before. Graceland Defeats Devils The ensuing game was the first Inter-State game of the season for J.C. with Graceland the foe. The game was played on the Wyandotte field. A lead of one point for the Devils stood up for three quarters but a 12-point Graceland fourth quar- ter erased the lead and gave the 'Yellowjackets an 18 to 7 victory. Alert forward wall work by Wally Smith and Ed Vaught led to the only Blue Devil tally. Penalties were too much for the Blue Devils in their second Inter- State contest with Kemper, there. Penalized 250 yards, the Blue Devils just couldn't muster up the needed strength to overcome the constant setbacks. On one Kemper touchdown drive the Frenchmen were penalized a total of 65 yards. Charles Hudson and Cliff DeMoss continued to lead the backfield play. However, fresh- man Bob Dutton was the star of the game with his outstanding defensive and offensive play. A Two-Platoon System Too Much The poor reserve strength of the Devils was demonstrated again in the tilt with the Baker B team at Wyandotte. Despite the fact that Baker threw a two-platoon system against the locals, the scoring was infrequent and Baker had a rough time in making away with a 14 to 0 victory. Quick kicks and long boom- ing punts by Bob Dutton were the feature of the Devil play. With Fort Scott the victim the Blue Devils finally broke into the win column after four defeats, by knocking off the Greyhounds, 13 to 2, on the Wyandotte field. Bill Bo- jeck and Tom Rowland played out- standing defensive ball. Both boys played the linebacker positions and their play and teamwork were ex- cellent. Bojeck set up both touch- downs with recoveries of fumbles. A pass from Charles Hudson to Jim McMillen was good for the first tally and a thrust through the middle of the Greyhound wall by mighty mite Gene -Thomas scored the second touchdown. Dave Gilman booted the extra point. Homecoming Ends in Tie Homecoming at Wyandotte field was a gala affair for everyone con- cemed, but no one went home happy. The game ended in a 6 to 6 tie, and Wentworth and Blue Devil fans alike were dejected, both having expected victory. After Wentworth scored its touchdown, the try for extra point seemed to be heading straight for the goalposts, but Tom Rowland threw himself in front of the ball and blocked the kick. Rowland received the full brunt of the ball in his eye and was rushed to Providence hos- pital, where it was discovered that his eye was internally hemorrhaging. At first it was thought the courageous action of the big linebacker would cost him the sight of one eye, but fortunately Tom recovered. With Rowland in the hospital and the whole team racked with injuries, the Blue Devils were prime for their worst defeat of the season and they got it. Playing on the Independence gridiron the Devils were ironed under 48 to 13. Walter Schuler's fine of- fensive play was the lone K.C. fea- ture. Still hoping for a conference vic- tory, the Devils met Chillicothe and drew a heartbreaking 7 to 6 setback on the Chillicothe field. The decision was a complete turnabout from last season when the Devils swept all conference play. However, hope springs eternal and the Devils are looking with a bright eye to next fall. Blue Devil All-Stars Bill Bojeck, rugged linebacker on the Juco football team, and Walter Haskins, smooth Blue Devil pivot- man, were named to the Inter-State football and basketball all-star teams. respectively, this season. Bojeck won the admiration of the coaches with his determined and vi- cious defensive play. He probably could have been a top offensive player but Coach Loren French used him where he was needed most. Wally Smith, big Devil tackle, was named to the second team. Walter Haskins was the standout on the Inter-State championship team. Walter played almost every minute of every game and was con- sistently among the high scorers, in addition to his rugged defensive and backboard work. Bill Strumillo, Bill Brown, and Ed Hoskings were named to the second team. JUCOS For the second consecutive year the Girls' Basketball team, the Jucos, has won the second place trophy in the Girls A Basketball League sponsored by the Kansas City Rec- reation Department. Bill Brown 'Sl coached the following girls to the second place spot: Jeanette Carriger, Frances Fagan, Shirley Cathers, Do- lores Kelley, Lillian Bernard, Carol Cawood, Joanne Fromholz, Gladys Gaston, Gerry Swan, and Dora Mae Ricord.

Am was not born in a log cabin, nor did he chop down a cherry tree,-but through his perse- verance and keen desire to succeed, he overcame obstacles and attained the high honor of being elected as chief executive of the state of Kan- sas. Because of the death of his father, he and his mother both worked to support themselves. He did so even while he attended Lowell grade school and Wyandotte high school in his home town, Kansas City, Kansas. Twenty-five years ago Ed Arn was a freshman at junior College, study- ing mathematics, English, and chem- istry in the classes of Miss Lucy Dougherty, Miss Christine Wenrich, and Mr. W. F. Asendorf. Although he was working at the time, Ed Arn received above average grades, served on the Student Council, and entered many other school activities. As an athlete Ed Am may be better known as the fullback on the foot- ball team and a guard on the basket- ball squad of 1927. He also entered the annual tennis tournaments in the singles and doubles divisions of play. Several stories have been recorded conceming Gov. Arn's days on the Junior College athletic teams. He re- ceived his football letter at an oyster supper at which he and two team- mates recited a new version of Mary Had a Little Lamb. The 1927 basketball team was con- sidered to be a rowdy group, but hey felt safe for one time during he year when they played in Iola here Ed Arn's uncle was chief of olice. Another tale is told in the 1927 ayhawk: Well, the gang arrived at entworth at just about game time nd found that their suits were all ied up like rag dolls. Someone had oured water in Ed Arn's case, so he ntered the HOCT all wet. It was during the 1926 football eason that the Junior College team ame was changed from the Blue- irds to the Blue Devils. Ed Arn was business manager of he Owaissa, the school annual, and ssistant business manager of the 'Scrawl, a Junior College magazine. During his two years at Junior ollege Ed Am attended many dances nd parties and must have been very UMNI light on his feet, for he was chosen as the dancer on a poll taken to determine the Answer to a Maiden's Prayer. He brought his dramatic abilities to the surface when he became the hero and perfect lover of The Mellerdrammaf' a play in which he a-salted the villain and won his lady love. In reply to a letter sent by a member of the Jayhawk staff, Gov- ernor Arn said: Nearly twenty-Five years after I had graduated from Junior College I was campaigning in Lawrence and at a meeting there I was so happy that it nearly brought tears to my eyes, for I saw two of my Junior College instructors, Lucy T. Dough- erty and Christine Wenrich. Although nearly a quarter of a century had elapsed, neither of them had changed a bit. They had maintained, as they always will, that intellectual sparkle, pleasant and even-tempered person- ality, so typical of the faculty of KCKJC. The acquaintances I made there with both fellow students and faculty made a lasting impression, and I can only say that of all my school days, those at junior College were the most enjoyable. Edward F. Arn I Govemor, State of Kansas Govemor Arn will retum to Junior College May 23 to deliver the grad- uation address. Alumni Awards A Junior College alumnus, Bob Mackish '48 and former student, Vic- tor Jackson '47 have-both been reci- pients of awards at Fort Hood, Texas. Both of the boys, 'now privates in the army, were mentioned promi- nently in a recent issue of the Fort's paper, The Half-T-rack. ., Private Mackish, a former star of the Blue Devils cage team, has con- tinued his superlative performances on the basketball court in the army and has been awarded a gold trophy and a sweater for his commendable sportsmanship while performing in :an intra-fort basketball tournament.. Al- though his team did not win 'the tournament, Bob was a leading scorer in the tourney which consisted of teams from various elements stationed at Fort Hood. Private Jackson has been awarded the American Spirit Medal, the first to be given at Fort Hood, for -his excellent leadership abilities displayed while he was ,attending the leader- ship school at that military establish- ment. 'Z This award is given to 'iany en- listee or inductee, who having no previous military experience ,or as- signment to any unit other :than a leadership group, best displays the attributes of a good American4honor, loyalty, initiative and high example. In addition to receiving the above award, Victor also graduated top man in his class of forty-eight from the leadership school, the fifth such class to be graduated. Honors to Alumni Two former Junior College students received scholastic honors as members of the graduating classes of two out- standing universities this spring: '48 earned Robert Marks Blair recognition from the University of Michigan for being an honor student in the School of Natural Resources. Because of his outstanding scholastic work, he was admitted as a member of Tau Beta Phi, Engineering Honor Society, established in 1885. Bill Knepper, a Junior College stu- dent in 1946-47, received a Phi Beta Kappa award from the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the Uni- versity of Kansas. This is a coveted honor since only the upper seven per cent of the graduating class are elig- ible for placement on the rolls of this national honor society.

Fort Hood, Texas TOWN HOUSE AND BROTHERHOOD BUILDING Adding to the desirability of jun- ior College as a meeting place for teachers' meetings, conventions, and student affairs is the new Town House hotel built by the people of Kansas City, Kansas, and located just two blocks east of the Horace Mann building. ' The Town House, now nearing completion, will in future years, be the site for student affairs such as formal parties and banquets. It can be used to house guests for the track meets, basketball, tennis, and golf toumaments, also YMCA-YWCA and iorensic conferences. For years Junior College has been handicapped by not having suhicient housing facilities to ask other colleges to hold conventions here. Now the residents of Kansas City have sup- plied that need in the Town House. Another attraction is the new Brotherhood Building just one-half block east of our campus. Besides being convenient to our college site, it is the place of employment for many Junior College students. The building is also a shopping center, being a miniature city with all its little shops on the first Hoor. The attractiveness of the building is enhanced by the Terrace Club on the top floor which has a beautiful ter- ace that can be seen from our campus. These two new building are sym- bolic of the growth of our city and of our college. -FRANCES FAGAN. PVT. JAMES ROYER 2610 Arm. Camp Chaffee, Arkansas LT. ARTHUR L.

Box 3304 Randolph Field, Texas v,wvs Counselors from Other Colleges In response to invitations from the guidance department, four Kansas colleges sent representatives to Jun- ior College in March and April to confer with students who wished to gain information about further edu- cation. Colleges included were Kansas University, Kansas State College, Emporia State Teachers College, and Pittsburg State Teachers College. Dean Paul Lawson of the College of Liberal Arts of the University of Kansas spoke on the topic Today Is a Good Day, when he addressed the student body at an all-school convocation April 16. The four other deans from K.U. who visited junior College with Dr. Lawson were: Assistant Dean of Women, Martha Petersen: Assistant Dean of Men, Dr. Donald Aldersong Dean of Fine Arts, Thomas Gorton, and Dean of Engineering, T. DeWitt Carr. Emporia State Teachers College was represented by George A. Com- stock, Director of Student Personnel Services, and Herman B. Boehr of the Commerce Department. Dr. Clay Deford, public relations supervisor of Pittsburg State Teach- ers College, visited junior College April 26. Kansas State College sent as rep- resentatives Dean Margaret Justin of the Home Economics department and Dr. M. A. Durland of the School of Engineering. Many students took advantage of these opportunities to learn more about the four year colleges in Kansas. THE JAYHAWK Page 25 Space Sitting in a quiet comer of the library, I experienced a trip that could not be taken by car, train, or plane. I had been reading the as- signment concerning gravitational at- traction in my physics book when it suddenly occurred to me how essential and forgotten is this automatic force. So I ventured into an area where gravitational force does not aid the inhabitants. I visited space. Leaving the earth in my V-9 rocket, I realized an unusual sensation of being four times my weight, and since I am a girl, I found this feeling dis- tressing. But then I remembered that in such extreme speed away from the earth, weights of bodies are ac- tually magnified. I had only to con- sole myself with the thought that in space I would weigh nothing. Of course, in higher altitudes, hrough which I was zooming at an enormous speed, the oxygen content of the atmosphere becomes greatly reduced. Being a member of the ani- al kingdom, I had to maintain my xygen supply in some manner. Plants re the balancing force in nature for his purpose, for they utilize carbon ioxide and give off oxygen into the ir. Consequently, I had already stablished a garden in my rocket efore I left. I fed it with plant food hemicals and used sunlight, of which here is an abundance in space, to eep it growing. As my spaceship cleared gravity, turned off my jet engine for in pace, beyond the gravitational at- raction of specific bodies, the ship oasted freely, using its momentum, nd I was able to save my fuel for he trip back. At this point, I settled back to o some navigating. Sitting strapped o a chair bolted to the body of the ocket, I held the board on my lap. o tables, bookcases, or loose chairs ere used, for they are useless in pace. On earth they satisfy the func- ion of keeping things up against he pull of gravity. In space, where here is no gravity, this function is eaningless. My lap board was a iece of magnetized metal which was ble to retain such articles as my on pencil and nickel T-square. My aper was held by two iron bars cross the comers. This was neces- ary, for in space nothing has weight, nd all bodies float freely unless con- rolled by some forces like magnetism. LITEH HY I had to be strapped down or I would not have had the power to push my pencil across my paper. I especially had to be careful about my erasure dust, for if I simply brushed it away, it continued to float in space. I found housecleaning to be much easier in my rocket than it is at home. In my ship I used a vacuum tank cleaner to clean the air as 'well as the walls. Gravity being absent, such things as bread crumbs floated around as easily as lint in the air on earth. Yes, floating breadcrumbs in the eye can be very annoying, so they had to be removed from the air. Bed making is eliminated in space flying. In order to go to bed in space, I lashed a piece of rope around my waist, tied the end to the wall fixture, and relaxed. During the nap if I drifted too far from the wall, I used the rope to get back again. Certainly I had the softest of mattresses-air. My eating habits had to be changed considerably when I left the gravita- tional attraction of the earth. Pre- paring for a meal, I placed my mag- netic drawing board on my lap and set my stainless steel plate on it. This plate deserves some description, for it was equipped with a spike like an old-fashioned desk spike for pa- pers on which 'food could be filed for ready reference. Knives were found to be very impractical, so I cut my steak with a pair of scissors, holding the pieces with a pair of tweezers instead of a fork. I used a pair of gadgets resembling a duck's bill, manipulated like tweezers, for a spoon. In space, drinking water has a bad habit of misbehaving. On earth, under the iniiuence of gravity, water wets the side of a glass slightly but re- mains in the glass. In space the water quickly climbs out the side and runs all over the thirsty individual. This situation is disturbing when one wants a drink. I found the only solution to the drinking problem to be a large rubber bottle equipped with a nipple. The container had to be rubbed to aid in displacing the water. just as I was about to cast my English book out the cockpit window to drift, I hoped, to unknown parts, I realized my free period was just about over. I would have to get back to English. Recovering my book, I zipped back to earth. -MARGARET Fou.E'r'r. Against the Drooping Maple Tree Parody on The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Against the drooping maple tree The village loafer leansg The loafer, a lazy man is he, Without a penny in his jeans: And the muscles of his scrawny arms Are as weak as ever seen. His hair is limp and brown and long, His face is like the tang His brow is wet with dirty sweat, He avoids work all he can: And dares not look one in the face, For he owes every man. Day in, day out, from morn till night, You can hear him humming low: You can hear him sing his lulling song, With measured beat and slow, Like a mother crooning to her babe, When the evening sun is low. And children coming home from school Would stop and listen, for They loved to hear his merry tune, And they would ask for more: And ask him why he was always there, And why he was so poor. He goes on Sunday to his church, And sits up in the choir: He hears the parson pray and preach, And hears his husky voice Singing in the village choir, And it makes his heart rejoice. Loafing-laughing-singing, Onward through life he goes: Each morning sees him by the tree, I-Ie will sing awhile, then dozeg Nothing tried, nothing done, But he is free from woes. -CAROLE Koaers.

Page 26 THE JAY1-:AWK THE NIGHT BEFORE TELEVISION fWith Apologies to Mr. Moorej T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads. And Mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap Had just settled down for a tormented nap, When inside the room, there burst such a clatter, I sprang up in bed crying What is the matter? A voice from the corner came shouting at me, A deep and accusing voice, laughing with glee: Your children are tucked in their wee little beds, But worry and complex beseige their poor heads. Then what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature man, whose face bore a leer. He was heavy and mean, and he frowned so at me I knew from his sneer it was Mister TV. Much closer and closer to me--on he came, And he whistled and shouted, and called sets by name: RCA Victor, you just take your pick, Motorola, or DuMont, or General Electric. To the right of the armchair, near the door to the hall, Be sure that your set can be seen by us all. Oh, no! I cried. No, I say. Oh dash it all! I can't buy TV with no money at all. Then in a twinkling I saw his eyes gleam. fHis eyes red from watching a sixteen-inch screen.J My friend, he said softly, presenting his case, Your children will stagnate-they'll feel out of place. Frustrated, all outcasts, sub-normal they'll be, You simply must give them a brand new TV. For it's Hopalong Cassidy, hero of all, The bigger he finds them the harder they fall. Kukla and Ollie as well as the fights, Without them your cherubs just won't sleep at nights. Education! he yammered. Education's the key. Amuse them and teach them with modern TV. Stop! Stop! I cried loudly, My headls in a whirl. Washington, Shakespeare and now Milton Berle! Just one small down payment and then in a year, The set will be yours-just like that-do you hear? I hear, I moaned softly, oh, please go away. But think of your children, I then heard him say. Their lives will be dull, he was now growing bold. They won't know a head lock from a good scissors hold. For it's baseball, football, Kate Smith, and Lights Out. Don't you see that TV you can't be without? You win! I screamed then, at the end of my rope. With Mister TV I no longer could cope. Aha! he laughed harshly, his voice now a whine. He whipped out a contract. Just sign on this line. I know I was weak but I had to give in. I just couldn't stand it-that clamor and din! So I ordered a set, though I 'knew it was wrong, And I'll surely regret it my whole sad life long. He spoke not a word, having finished his work. Then folding the contract and tuming-the jerk !- And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, out the window he rose. He sprang to the roof top and then gave a whistle, And away he then shot like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, as he flew out of sight, Happy eyestrain to all and to all POOY CYCSighf- ll I-RUTH ANN MEYER. On Rainbows Rainbows are bridges of Heaven. They appear after a heavy rain to welcome the sunshine just as the robin appears after a cold winter to welcome the spring. Science explains that rainbows are formed by the refraction and reflec- tion of the sun's rays falling upon watery particles in that part of the heavens opposite the sun. Tradition tells us that at the end of a rainbow is a pot of gold. When I was a child I always won- dered how I could get to the end of the rainbow and claim that pot of gold. In my mind I imagined all the ice cream and candy I could buy with so much wealth. Now I realize that this feat is quite impossible, because in order to Find the end of the rainbow you must first find the beginning. Maybe the people are being to realistic about the pot of gold. It ma not be real gold at all, but just th gold in the sunshine that comes afte a rain and remains after the rainbo has disappeared. Looking at a rainbow can be challenge to people who think tha all their days are cloudy and rainy A rainbow may be looked upon as symbol of happiness, and no matte how cloudy and rainy days may seem a rainbow will always appear an bring sunbeams of happiness to chas away the clouds of worry. When I gaze at a rainbow and se all the beautiful colors I realize tha someone higher than man must hav created it. In Genesis is the record And it shall come to pass, when bring a cloud over the earth, tha the bow shall be seen in the sky. -Dokorx-xv CRISP.

Song of Junior College With Apologies to Longfellow and His Song of Hiawatha In the heart of Kansas City By the roaring busy highway Stood the buildings of our college, Kansas City Junior College. All around it was our campus Was the campus made of red-bricks Split in two by highway forty. Bright around it shone the sunlight Bright with knowledge was the sun- light Glorilied with Learning's pride. There our most learned teachers Taught the struggling hopeful stu- dents There they thaught them English grammar, Clarified the definitions, Helped them through examinations, And passed them on by saying: Someday you will bring us honor. Encouraged them for further study: If you Hunk, you'l1 take it over! If you pass, why, all the better, I don't care if you're a genius, You must pass this test, you loafersl Many things our college taught them: Of the French and of the German Gave them Spanish and F iestasg Odysseus, with amazing travels, Showed them brief forms with their shorthand, Steeped them in vile sulphur's odor, In the brick gymnasium buildingg Followed history and logic Down the pathways of the centuries, Taught them Bacon and his essays, O. Henry's heroes and his villains. These are the subjects that they studied, Listening, learning from the past So that they might use it in the future. These are things they will-remember From the song of Junior College. -HARRY Sci-IANKER.
