PAGE 2 C As THE CAl2DINAL,S EYES PERCEIVE EXTERIOR SCENES Approaching the building from the east, a student comes rapidly into an atmosphere of higher education, for the great Roman pillars, rising majestically above the doors of the build- ing suggest academic learning, once they are in full view. At noon, the students gather around the doors beneath these pillars in groups to gossip, to- re- call the sad experiences of the morning, and to watch others wear far away looks for their be- loveds. During the football season, spectacular scenes frequently may be seen at the night football games, where beneath powerful lights brighten- ing the sky, toiling teams make dazzling plays. E The above picture describes where words fail, just how the building appears under a fresh blanket of snow. As spring gradually gains the show from Ol' Man VVinter, the golden lll1C of the many and varied forms of the plant life known as the dandclions greet the optics of the student body. VVhat a pretty sight it is to see our football heroes, basketball wizards, and some of the rest of our gang, moving joyously about banter- ing with the self-appointed reception commit- tees, at the approaches of the building. The warm weather marked the beginning of the open air taxis which ehugged and rattled themselves around to the rear of the building where they were left to the mercy of the ele- ments until their nurses', would again emerge from the building. Last, but not least, is our own Lover's Lane on the west side of the building, along which spring's converts blissfully stroll. NE As THE CARDINAL OPTICS SCAN IT's SACRED Roosr Various perches meet the eye of one at- tending Junior College. First, may linger in memory, the chapel scenes, where the entire student body have so often gathered, both on the lower floor and in balcony. Sometimes in the cafeteria line one may see marathon prowess displayedg and at the tables many happy faces showing radiant smiles. The next scene, a scene that is not often a quiet one, stands out in the memories of every student. In this scene are gathered the intelli- gentsia. Visitors are always welcome in the Junior College study hall. Gatherings of students provide scenes where- ever they areg be they in hallway, on stairs, or in classrooms. Some students are always happy, some are always making up after quarrels which never seem to end. We must not overlook the dramaties room where many scenes are rellearsedg nor the jour- nalism room where not a few are written down. The last, but not least of scenes are to be viewed in the office, where playful collegians, forgetting they are beyond high school, continue arguments with office employees, started years' before, over unexcused absences. Thus, Cardinals may scan their sacred roost with its many happy recollections. .1.0.i. 'TVVAS AN EARLY MORNING The above snow scene of the building -was taken early on Thanlcsgiving morning before the .s-now had been disturbed by those who custo- marily clear the walks at an early hour. I This was the first heavy snow of the yearg the building so adorned has enhanced beauty.

As the sun sank lower in the west, a breeze began waving the straw- colorcd grass, and rippling thc waters of the wide. shallow pool. The man crouching low in the rocks might have been ayoung Indian, such was his garb. His skin was a light bronze color, and as he gazed across the water, the vision of a beautiful PAGE 6 ,ml - Indian woman appeared before him-his wife of a monthg to hiin this was hallowed ground.

And a few years later the Indian dared no longer to visit the pool where he lost his love. After fifty years., during which houses were built all around the hallowed ground of the Indian. the plot was bought hy the city, Par- sons. to he consecrated to no ordinary purpose. Seven years ago, a brick edifice was erected, to carry on the education of future citizens, in high school and junior college. And the ground remains hallowed-not for the original Indian dwellers, hut for the hundreds of students who continue to eome here for inspiration and devel- opment, and then to move on to higher and higher destinies. ALMA MATER To Parsons Junior College we all sing. 'Tis she whose name' is always high in sport Achievements for each year. She is king. Of her we sing great deeds of good report. To Parsons Junior College we still sing, For through her activities friends are made. 'Tis only happiness these friends will bring. Her name held high., with banners we parade. To Parsons Junior College we all owe Much of the happiness we've gained from books. This debt creates a love we shan't outgrow, For it's stored in our hearts in little nooks. An infinite amount of praise is hers. Through her we've seen and enjoyed the game Of school life. We students should confer Upon her, honor worthy of her name. -Joe Allen, J. C. '33.

Y ,,..-- L, TEACHERS USHER STUDENTS UP AISLE OF KNDWIJEDGE Ushering Junior College students up the aisle of knowledge is ust a part of the duties of the faculty of Parsons Junior College. The faculty have always displayed a willing- ness to act as advisors to the members of the student body, lending their knowledge and ex- perience to help solve the problems of the students. Serving as sponsors of the various club orga- nizations is just another phase of the responsi- bilities assumed by the faculty members. The college Y. M. C. A., college Y. W. C. A., W. A. A., Cardinal Coeds, and the Draruatics club being among thc organizations sponsored by faculty members. Tending the gates at football games, and keeping the doors, and selling tickets at the basketball games are still other added duties of the ushers, appreciated by the student body. Providing the necessary leadership, together with progressive and conservative ideas so as to guide the students in their preparation for fu- ture citizenship, is the main ushering job ad- ministered by the faculty Inembers. They too, have their get-together social meet- ings. Last fall a picnic for the entire faculty group of the Parsons city schools was well attended at Lake McKinley. No students got near enough to observe it, but it was reported that the teachers practiced the games they teach students to play. The above picture shows the instructors in a faculty meeting where they discuss problems of the students and administrative affairs. FACULTY PROVIDES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES EOR COI,LEGIANS Added to their administrative and instruc- tional duties tbe faculty members have provided what they consider thc necessary leadership to- wards sociability. D It is the custom of the college faculty to hold a reception in the early part of the year, at which the various teachers and students are in-- troduced to each otherg in order that the stu- dents may feel more at ease in their relation- ships with the various instructors with whom they come in contact during .the year. This year's reception was held in the base- Inent of the Municipal building, where the stu- dents were met by a receiving line of the var- ious faculty members, deans, and the superin- tendent of the Parsons school system. After the initial reception, a general get acquaintedi' session was held in which the teach- ers and students enjoyed a. sociable evening. Besides the reception, the men teachers of the college entertained the college ITICU at a steak fry at the Parsons Country Club grounds. The teachers and students played baseball, pitched horseshoes, showed their abilities as archers, and enjoyed an excellent meal. -0-.

Books on beauty secrets have found ready sale, drug sto-rcs report increasccl sale of beau- iifiers, and even the beauty srzlons fond barber .s-hopsj have enjoyed crzhrmccd re'Ue1z.ueS.

Hughes has been superintendent of the Parsons city schools nine years. During these nine years, he has been instrumental in establishing the Junior Colleges as an educa- tional unit in the state of Kansas. It was large- ly through the- efforts of Mr. Hughes that the Junior College was established in Parsonsg and under his guidance, it has grown to an institu- tion whose standing surpasses requirements of the state colleges. Because of these efforts, Mr. Hughes is admired and revered by the Junior College students. E. F. FARNER Mr. E. F. Farner has been dean of the Junior College for seven years, he having become dean in the second year of its organization. During his administration, the college has grown from infancy to a smooth working institution with great potential possibilities. Dean Farner has always provided an efficient administration, working toward the betterment of the student body, as his prime object. The variety of courses offered are due largely to his efforts to enhance the value of the training given. As a leader, he is well-liked by the students, his ad- vice and counsel being highly beneficial. PAGE 10 VV. L. MOSHER Chairman of Teachers Com- mittee MAX D.

H F Ip ILP IlIOEEEE 2 ??C'EI iiEEEBOEI Paar: I4 NC E RSA 5 TRIBULATIONS TPIAT ALL COLLEGE CLASSES UNDERGO Why do they linger in their seats, these stu- dents, when they have no teacher? Why do they act and rehearse their lessons? College custom has inadc it permissible for students to depart, when no teacher arrives within ten minutes after the beginning of the class hour. Most students are glad to take advantage of the custom. Picture the woe just after noon. The class students have been waiting with rising expecta- tions thc elapse of ten minutes, after which they may walk away free as air. Members have be- come quiet, comparing time-pieces to make sure that the correct time can be established. Some braver hearts have wandered into the halls, that they may avoid the rush for the door, when the signal for departure has been sounded by that lucky person whose watch is settled upon as the one by which the students will go. A wave of restlessness sweeps the room as the watch own- ers begin to exclaim: It's nine after I - l 'L it's ten after! I.et's go! ' Then as the correct time shows just ten after one, a rush is made for freedom, the door is opened wide-but the onrush of the leaders sub- sides-for there, advancing from the drinking fountain, is the stern professor with an armful of books, and a look you just can't resist. Such is the tribulation of the student. Possibly on the previous day the advance assignment was given by the professor, from page 210 to 356 inclusive, also to commit to memory the Hrst eight verses of the poem on page 278. After a restless night spent by the students, during which the assignment has been read and re-read, and the poem repeated until the family has compelled you to use the basement for re- hearsals, you await the arrival of the one o'clock class with happy determination. At last the time comes, the whole class re- hearse their prowess before one another as they wait. Then finally when the professor strides into the room he closes the door, and not notic- ing the look of self-assurance on the faces of his students, -seats himself firmly at his desk, opens the text book, and says in all his dignity, Today we shall finish the portion of the lesson we had no time for yesterday. Of course there is in the class the stalling stu- dent, who- asks dumb questions on yesterday's assignment in order to keep the teacher from discovering Cif possiblej that he has not stud- ied today'sg and the habitual class sleeper who uses his class time advantageously for the night's play, and the Wisecracker who has a joke for everything, even an unannounced test. But the tribulations they experience provide amusing diversion in the school drama in which we re- hearse daily. Need We rehearse more trials of the college student? .,,Oi BALKED REHEARSALS Rehearsals suggested in the foireg ning accounts were not common among classes during the year. A visitor might walk into a class be- fore time and be greeted by the hub-buh of voices, discussing teachers, lessons, etc. Such occasions were limited, however, to classes 'meeting at 8:15, 9:09g 10:03, 101585 1:00g 1:54, and 2:48, and to the three upper floors of the building.

In the next year the number of graduates fell to twenty-five, hut since that time the classes have gained in number. The class of 1929 boasted thirty-nine members :ind the following' class VVILS made up of thirty- eight students. The alumni of last year surpass- ed all other records with fifty-one incmhers and this year's class tops the list. with seventy mem- hers.

A E CIOLLITGE CARD1NALS WERE KANSAS FOOTBALL CHAMPS The l'arsons Cardinals repeated an Old but p'casing performance this year by gaining the Kansas State Football Championship, This was was thc fifth championship won by the Junior College in the past nine years. The Redbirds were undefeated during the entire season, dur- ing which they played seven junior college teams and the Reserves of Haskell Institute, a four-year college. Coach Bailey Ricketts deserves much credit for the championships won the past three years. He has been supplied with excellent material and the machines which were turned out, work- ed perfectly during the entire seasons. A char- acteristic of the clevens has been outstandin,g' team work, which was instilled early into each FAITHFUL SQUAD AIDED IN GAINING FOOTBALL LAURELS Tl1e largest crowd of college men in the his- tory of the school turned out for the Cardinal eleven at the Opening of the season. Included in the group were a few veterans from the pre- vious year, many who had made good in high Schoo', and some who were trying to play the ffaimz for the first time. From the outset, prospects looked good for an outstandng Junior College team, and state championship predictions were not slow in being uttered. Stiff paces administered at the first of the season thinned o11t thc number somewhatg thereafter most of the men stuck out the season. The squad members were praised highly by school officials for their good work, clean Sportsmanship, and outstanding conduct. Mem- member by the coach with the aid of his assistant. C. H. Franklin.

PAGE 30 BAILEY RICKETTS COACH In the three years that Coach Bailey Ricketts has been on the athletic staff he has turned out state-championship football teams and l1is basket- ball teams have ranked high in the conference. This record speaks truly as to his ability as a coach. Mr. Ricketts is popular with his players, gaining and keeping' their respect and confidence. Bailey graduated from the Junior College in 1926 and was one of the outstanding athletes in the Junior College in '25 and '26. He graduated from Baker University in '28 and has attended summer sessions of Illinois university. In 1929 Mr. Ricketts was assistant coach on the local staff and became head coach the succeeding year. As coach he has attained singular success and has made a name for himself in that profes- sion. Coach Ricketts enforces the rules and regu- lations of his department stringcntly, this probably accounting for the success of his teams. 7 .NN-SR-H D iar-,tr -M-nf CHARLES H.

PAGE 31 H I CK S-Fullback Through good ground gain- ing and excellent punting Bill Hicks was picked on the all- state Junior College football, eleven. This was Bill's first year on the college squad after three outstanding years on Parsons high school team. LAMM-Right Half Blax Lamm finished his sec- ond suceessful year as a mem- ber of the Cardinals. He was not large in stature but did outstanding work as a back- field man. His specialty was short consistent gains, block- ing, and spinning. ALLISON-Right Emi Tall in stature and powerfully built, Lau- rence Allison was one of the outstanding ends in the conference, placing on the all-state team. This was Allison's second year with the Red- birds and he gained a reputation as an unpas- sable man in defensive play and a hard man to stop on the offensive. SVVITLIK-Right Tackle s Another all-state team man was Matthew Switlik. In the tackle position he was one of the best offensive men in the line, big holes always opening before him. This was Matis second year. For two years Switlik was the outstanding tackle of the conference. limi: 32 YVINSLOVV-Qzzarfwbach' Russell VVinslow played his first year with the college, coming here from Chanute high school. VVinslow came here with a good name for himself in backfield work and he added honors to his list. He was a fast ground gainer. HEFLEY-Right Guard Playing a close game both in offensive and defensive play, Louis Hefley kept the line hole-proof in his position. He played his first year with the college. Hefley attended Cherry- vale high school. 1 GE RAR D-Center Playing the center of the line is a difficult and important assignment. Max Gerard was a perfect snapper-back who could be depended on to- do a good job in his position. Gerard played his first year with the Redbirds after two successful years in Parsons high school, and placed on the second all-state team. BEGEY-Left Guard Elected most valuable man of the team by his teammates, Begey more than won that honor. In the position of guard, he has built up a repu- tation that will be hard to equal. Begey was a member of the all-state team and played his second year for thc Junior College. He was equally effective in the backfield as halfback. 01 It is said that a certain end 'was locked out of the hotel at zz, late hour anal had to resort to fire escapes and loyalty of frizmrls-,io sleep in a regular hell for the night. Of course the cause for his lining out late is not lcnorvn. STAN DLE Y-Left Halfbaclc Don Standley was a good ball lugger and was chosen honorary captain for 1931. With lots of grit and pluck, Don became one of the best backfield men on the Rcdbird eleven, regardless of the fact that he was not extremely large or heavy. DIXON-Left Tackle Pat Dixon could easily be called a fighting Irishman. He was a definite asset to the line, being an accurate and dependable tackle. Pat played his first year for the Junior College, af- ter a successful career in Oswego high school. GASAWAY-Left End. Not many opposing plays were successful around Joe Gasaway's end, and he earned a place on the second all-state eleven. Joe made a good record in high school and kept his record well above board during his first year of Jun- ior College activity. He was a deadly tackle and a good man on offensive. PAGE 33 JONES-Right End Van Jones was one of the best reserve men on the squad. He was determined and should make a good end for the team next year. This was his first year in Junior College, graduating from Parsons high school last year. MANGAN-Right Halfback Frank hfangan filled the back field position in good style. He was not large but was a capable ball carrier. Frank was a freshman, coming here from Cherryvale. BROOKS-Right Tackle The reserves found an able tackle in the person of George Brooks, husky boy from Mc- Cune. George was a freshman in Junior Col- lege this year. WRIGHT-Right Guard In the right guard position Clayton Wriglit proved to be a valuable man for the reserves. He came here from Oswego high school as a freshman and should make good material for next year. ALDRICH-Center A capable assistant to the first string center was Joe Aldrich. He was another man from the county seat and filled his position in A No. 1 style. He was a freshman. PAGE 34 COLLEGE CARDINALS WERE KANSAS STATE CHAMPIONS fCj0'ltti7L1ll'll from Page QQQ decided they had been scalped and went hack to their domicile in the North. This was the only out-of-conference game of the year. On October 23, the Cardinals invaded the West and took a 19-7 victory from the Arkansas City Tigers. Fort Scott bowed before the on- rushing eleven and took a 20-0 defeat. At Kansas City the Redbirds flew away with twenty-four points, leaving none for their hosts, and four days later the Ravens of Coffeyville felt a 16-6 defeat at the hands of the Ricketts' machine and the title was clinched for Parsons. The big battle of the year, on Thanksgiving Day, with Fort Scott was thought in advance to he a hard one. To top off circumstances the weather man dished out large Turkey day help- ings of wind, cold, snow, sleet, and rain to make the occasion realistic. Overcoming these diffi- culties, a 2-0 victory was won, and the slate re- mained clean. LAYVS-Quarterback As a field general, Bob Laws showed unusual ability and was one of the most outstanding reserves. Bobby enrolled here from Oswego as a freshman. HOOVE R-Left Guard Arlo Hoo-ver was a sophomore this year but was out for football for the first time. He showed up well in scrimmages and proved to be a good guard. PARKER-Fullback Paul Parker entered the school this year as a freshman, poming from Palisade, Colorado. Paul played both in the back- field and in the line. He should show up well next year. CRAN E-Left Halfbaclr Extreme loyalty was one of the outstanding traits of Carl Crane. Carl was out for the team for the second year and showed ability in the backfield. DON NELLY-Left Tackle Large in size and with some experience Frank Donclly filled his position well. Dor1nie', was an outstanding player on the high school team in 1923-241. TI-IOMAS-Left End John Thomas was a good player in. his posi- tion at end and he gave his opponents in scrim- mage plenty of opposition. John played his first year of Junior College football although l1e was a sophomore.

REDBIRD QUINTET RANKS HIGH IN JUNIOR COLLEGE LEAGUE Snapping out of a slow-speed rut after the first conference game, the Juco Redbirds pass- ed all other contestants of the conference to fall back in a second place position for the final counting. The Cardinals gained the first place position and held it for twenty-four hours, until they were defeated by Arkansas City.

A short time later the Pittsburg Goril- Johnny Smith reached a torrid. temperature in many of the conference games. VVhen Smith got hot there was no stopping him and he found the hoop from almost any position on thc floor. Smith played a consistent game and always could keep his head. This was his second year with the Redbirds. ALLISON-Center Although not as tall as some centers in the conference Laurence held his own in that posi- tion, and placed on the all-state second team. Allison dropped into a guard position after the jump, and proved to be valuable there. His specialty was one-handed shots from under the basket. This was his second year. ITICKS-Cillllffl Playing opposite Gasaway was Bill Hicks, one of the fastest guards in the state. These two men worked together like twins, having played together as guards for the two years pre- vious.

He was small and fast, playing a good game during the whole season. Max placed on the first all-state team and easily earned that position. He played his second year with the Redbird five. Outstanding work was done by I.amm in the El Dorado game when he matched shot for shot with Garcia, fast Mexican for- ward with the Grizzlies.

Shortly afterwards, Mr. W. M. Moore was selected advisor to the staff. Early in November, a sales campaign was in- augurated and twenty-two collegians, commis- sioned as salesmen, sold 235 Juconians, and the student council announced that the yearbook would be printed. Tl1e staff was appointedand, with the advi- sor, developed the theme and signed the con- tract for the publication of the annual. Pictures were taken and sent to the engravers, and on February 9, the first shipment of cuts were received for the Juconian. In April, the editor-in-chief was forced to give up active charge of work because of ill- health. The college journalism class, under the supervision of Robert Immich and Frieda Blair and aided by Paul Biggs, photographer, took over the annual and completed it in its present form.

PROMOTES Guufs PHYSICAL CULTURE The lVomen's Athletic association was a new organization in thc Junior College this year, be- ing organized by a group of college girls inter- ested in physical education. The VV. A. A. is a national organization of college women who have a special interest in physical education and includes eleven four- yea r colleges and unior colleges. The purpose of the national organization is to provide an opportunity for an individual to act in a situation which is physically wholesome, mentally stimulating, and satisfying, and social- ly sound. In addition to thc purposes of the national organization, the local club has the following aims: to secure physical recreation, to conserve moral values, to develop leadership, follower- ship, and :1 love for recreation. The local club has a point system worked out which enables a girl at thc end of two years to win an award. or makes it possible for her to win points which she may transfer to another college if she continues her work. The main things included in the point system are health, hockey, tennis, swimming, basket- ball, baseball, sportsmanship, and hiking. .1.0.i IV. A. A.

PAGE 39 .53 ' M N . , N.,-, STUDENT COUNCIL GOVERNS VARIOUS STUDENT AFFAIRS The student council is the student governing body of the Junior College which together with the Dean of the school makes decision on all student controversies brought to the attention of that body during the school year. The council has charge of all the student acti- vities, including the picnics, parties, assemblies, and the annual Skip day. Although the coun- cil does not assume complete charge of these affairs, committees are appointed, which are under the supervision of one of the council members. The organized committees under the super- vision of the council are the election board and the entertainment committee for parties and picnics. H The Student Council was very active, taking charge of the picnics, and the achievement ban- quet for letter' Winners, which was instituted this year. ,Four resolutions were adopted by the council during the year and were ratified by the popu- lar vote of the student body, these added two members to the council, provided for an election board, specified a certain date when student elections should be held, and gave the student body the recall power over the student body president. . The council had the following personnel: Bob Immich, chairmang Ruth North, Junior Smith, Charles Neilson, sophomore representa- tives, Max Gerard, Pauline VVesthoff, William Ramsey, freshman representatives.

The Parsons Junior Col- lege cast, the first of two in Kansas, has an active chapter. The local chapter, number twenty-six in the national organization, was founded July 1, 1929 with seven. charter members. Since that time it has grown to a membership of o-ver twenty ac- tive members. The fraternity aids in creating an interest in all dramatic productions of merit. Time has been spent on plays, and some knowledge in the field of drama is to be gained at each of the meetings. Membership is restricted to Junior College students having the necessary dramatic require- ments from the local college. These dramatic requirements are that one have at least seventy lines in a 3-act college play. A ' A social meeting of the fraternity was held April 8, in honor of the new members of the fraternity. Games, bridge, and dancing were enjoyed by the members. At the last regular meeting, to be held May 16, new officers will be elected for the follow- ing year. A one act play will be presented. An all male cast will give the group a comedy that might have proved to be a tragedy and was a decided mystery. This play will be the only play presented at a fraternity meeting. Mem- bers in the cast will be Odell Kreger, Charles Palmer and Ray Harshfield. Marcella Wat- son is director. PAGE 42 DELTA PS1 OMEGA,S PLAY WINS CITY STUNT CONTEST Numerous activities were enjoyed by mem- bers oif Delta Psi Omega during the current year. These activities were in the form of play productions, initiations and parties. The Delta Psi Omega play won first prize in the Junior College class in the city-wide stunt program held last November. This play, The Honest Thief, was enacted in a professional manner by Ray Harshfield, Charles Palmer, and Gwendolyn. Sterling. Four new members were initiated into the fraternity this year. Marcella Watson and Robert Prendeville were initiated in December, and John Mahar and Thornton Robinson were taken into the fraternity in April. Major parts in three 1-act plays, sufficient work on produc- tion staffs, major part in a three act play, or in difficult character parts are the requirements for eligibility to membership in the fraternity. The officers for the fraternity, who were elected at the close of the school term last year, are: Cast Director. . .Miss Margaret Smith Grand Director. .Gwendolyn Sterling Stage lifanager ........ Odell Kreger Business Manager ...... Frieda Blair ,Ol DELTA PSI OMEGA ENTERTAINS The Delta Psi Omega has it's serious side, but it also has its pleasure side 'which consists of parties, dances, and what nots. The favorite sport of the frate1'nit'y is: Dinner time Gab or the telling of unparal- leled tales, and the told game NIe and My ZVIuIe, a tale of 'woe inzmntezl by Hap Moallin. l COLLEGE Y. W. C. A. HAS ' EXCEPTIONALLY FULL YEAR The organization started the school year by operating a book exchange where the students could buy their text hooks at a minimum cost. At their first business meeting all the officers except the president, who was elected during the summer, were elected to succeed the last year's staff. The officers for this year were: President .............. Marion Headlec Vice President ............. Saidee Smith Secretary ....... Wilma .lean Cunningham Treasurer .................

The Y. M. C. A. is undecided. The Y. W. C. A. might well say, No, we ga-ve those 'men a party, and they cafa't get away from a- revzell-orga1zi.'zerl group of 'women like the Y. TV. The Y. M. have tried faithfully to forget, but we think a promise is a promise. The question is .rtill unsettled. G PROGRAMS AND PLEASURES WERE ENJOYED BY GROUP The Y. W. C. A., a branch of the National Y. W. C. A. organized for the young women of the college to promote friendship, has played an im- portant part in the activities of the school year. The meetings of the organization have con- sisted of many very interesting and instructive programs. On several occasions outstanding speakers were secured. Among the most promi- nent were Miss Eirian Morgan-Owen, a student representative from London, England, who dis- cussed English schoolsg and Mrs. T. M. Kirkby, who related her visit to Norway. The Big Sister movement was adopted and carried out this year by the group. This move- ment provides a way for the new girls of the college to become acquainted. Each member is assigned a new girl whom she must assist in any way possible. In the way of pleasure the Y. W. C. A.'s cabin at Lake McKinley, was the scene of sev- eral parties and week-end outings for the mem- bers of the organization. Also, jointly with the Y. M. C. A., a banquet was sponsored at which Dr. T. M. Elliot, of the national committee of the Y. M. C. A. gave an address on China. Every year a Y. W. C. A. convention is held for the organization in. the state, and although the local Y. W. C. A. did not send a delegation this year to Arkansas City where it was held, it was voted that the convention would be in Parsons next year. During the convention mem- bers from all over the state are expected, as are also many prominent Y. W. C. A. leaders and speakers. Plans for the convention will be arranged during the first part of next year. PAGE 43 .F I U s Y BROUGHT NOTED . -. LECTURERS TO STUDENTS The' college Y. M. C. A. gained popularity during the past year and held meetings each Tuesday noon. Several noted speakers were brought to the Junior College through the ef- forts of the HY. Some of the speakers were Ben H. Spence, Canadian lecturer on prohibition, Felix T. Man- ley, Rocky Mountain Region advisor, and T. M. Elliot, missionary from China. Officers for the organization were Morris Kemmerer, president, Darold Hackler, vice- presidentg and Joe Chandler, secretary. Wal- lace Guthridge was faculty advisor. .iol TEN DEBATERS GET LETTERS Ten students who participated in intercol- legiate debates during the season were awarded letters in college debate this year. They were: Edward Edelen, Jack Hall, Julia Brooks, Earl Beard, Christine Creamer, Nancy Shearer, Shir- ley Stinson, Martin Thomas, Dean Sachs, and Joette Brant. The coach was Miss Sylvia D. Barnes. 10,. PHI RHO PI ADDS TWELVE ' Adding twelve new members to its roll and initiating one new chapter during the year, were among the accomplishments of the Parsons Junior College chapter of the Phi Rho Pi, na- tional forensie fraternity. Miss Sylvia D. Barnes, the sponsor of the local chapter, was elected president of the na- tional organization at the annual convention, held at Glendale, California. The year's activity of the fraternity was con- cluded with the initiation of Dean E. F. Farner and Edward Edelen as new members. 1'.u.:1+: 44 JUBILANT STUDENTS. MAKE VERY MERRY CELEBRATION The winning of the Junior College State Con- ference, and of the Southeast Kansas league football championships provided too good an opportunity to be over-looked by high-spirited students of the Junior College and high school. Their enthusiasm made history on the 30th day of November, 1931. A large group of students cut classes, and after parading through town bearing banners that carried appropriate legends, and making all the noise possible, they called forth the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Rees Hughes, and made him their leader in their march back to the building, where a joint assembly was held. A second joint assembly was held in the after- noon, at which many speeches were made laud- ing the players of these all-victorious teams. Messrs. Hughes, Farner, Ricketts, Franklin, H. Smith, Pete Duffy, P. Dwyer, H. Hicks, G. Cole, W. VanMeter, J. Richmond, G. Maser, and other notables made speeches. One of thc snaps on page 8 shows Dr. Ruble speaking at that assembly. Thus we introduce Interludes to you. The picture shows the students on the steps of the Municipal building just as Superintendent Hughes has been called out. 1.0.1.

SCHOOL SPIRIT FURNISHED BY COEDS IN PEP GROUP The Cardinal Coeds make up the only pep organization in the Junior College. The organi- zation has had part in the furthering of the school spirit during the seasons of the various activities. Their uniform consists of a cardinal red skirt, white jersey and red beretg and the cos- tumed girls usually commanded the enthusiasm of the crowd. Reading from left to right, the members are: top row: Virginia Clark, Ada Marie Edmond- son, Shirley Stinson, Gweneth Tyler, Rosemary Fischer, Nellie Doudna, Geraldine Lancaster and Helen Kuffler. Bottom row: Dorothy Dennis, Helen Clap- saddle, Pauline Mears, Nina Burrell, Zelma Peniston, Helen Debus, Edith Queen, Frieda Blair, president, and Merle Myers. The members who do not appear in the pic- ture are: Isabelle Acock, Vivian Davis, Viola Moffet, Helen Clay, Rachael Wilton, Muriel Hampton, Margaret Oates, Marcella Watson, Dorothy Watson, Leona Pollock, and Christine Creamer. Miss Allene Guthrie is the sponsor. .Tcl PHOTOGRAPHY CANNOT REVEAL This photograph, while a masterpiece in it- self, shows little of the undazmted effort of the pepsters. During the Armistice day game, it rained in- termittently through the game. Between squalls they sallied forth. As soon as another rain came up, or rather came down, they would be forced to take time oat under ra-incoats, newspapers, and bass drums. They are Cardinal Coeds, rain or shine. COED,S FOOTBALL BANQUET -P HONORS STATE CHAMPIONS One feature of the club's endeavors was the annual football banquet at which the college football players were the honored guests. The banquet was held in the early part of December and the champion team of the state junior col- leges received a rousing commendation for their victories. Miss Frieda Blair, president of the association, was the toastmaster.

Coach Rickett's men won the game 39-15 and thus showed their superiority over the team which had proved to be their dark horse. In conference games the Cardinals made a good showing for the school. Already prospects are being eyed and another strong team has been doped for next year. Of the eleven men on the squad, five will be back again next year. Those who graduate this year are Smith, Lamm, Allison, Thomas and Chandler. PAGE 45 COLLEGE DRAMATIC CLUB Is POPULAR ORGANIZATION With a membership of thirty active members, the Junior College Dramatic Club has proved to be one of the most popular clubs in the school. The interest in its meetings has been keen, largely because the members keep active. Members in the picture, reading left to right, beginning in the back row, are Ray Harshfield, Howard Menne, Joseph 'Wissman, John Mahar, Gladwyn Goldg middle row, Gwendolyn Ster- ling, Zelma Peniston, Leona Pollock, Helen Clay, Miss Margaret Smith, sponsor, Muriel Hampton, Jesse Campbell-Saddler, Frieda Blair, and front row, Pauline Dobson, Vivian Davis, Jack Gribben, Ruth North, Thornton Robinson, Helen Cribbet and Aletha Black- ledge. Other members not in the picture are Marga- ret Frey, Janey Frost, Bernice Hardeman, Odell Kreger, Helen Louise Piatt, Marcella Watson, Pauline Westhoff, Paul Parker, Clar- ence House, and Elaine Thompson. The club's purpose is to help promote an in- terest in every type of dramatic endeavor. It is open to all students, who are interested in its activities. Although the club has been organized only two years it has already established itself as one of the most outstanding and progressive organizations of the college. The membership has more than doubled itself since the club began. PAGE 46 HAS MADE AN UNUSUAL RECORD IN ITS ACTIVITIES Four one act plays were presented by the Dramatics Club during the year in addition to the individual appearances of the members at the regular weekly meetings. The year was closed with an outdoor performance in which all members of the organization took part. The plays were presented at night meetings which were held once a month. Seventeen mem- bers were cast in at least one play and several took part in more than one play. Four students acted as directors. By presenting the plays, students were able to become eligible for Delta Psi Omega, honorary dramatics fraternity. Each member was responsible for at least one person- al performance at the weekly meetings. Officers for the year were: President .............. Ray Harshfield Vice President .... .... H oward Menne Secretary ............. Joseph Wissman Treasurer ......,... Gwendolyn Sterling Publicity Chairman ..... Marcella Watson Sponsor ........... Miss Margaret Smith 1.i.0 . EXTEMPORANEOUS PANTOMINES The final night meeting of the Drafmatics club, May 2, was arranged in the form of an outdoor picnic and dramatics program. The club carried lunches to Glenwood park 'where a pot-luck supper was enjoyed, followed by an eartemporaneous pantomine contest. Other suit- able clramatic works, such as comic impersona- tions, were presented. ,.,,,-m,,. NEWSPAPER STORY GIVEN AS ANNUAL COLLEGE PLAY Hot Copy, the annual Junior College play was presented Friday night, March 4, at 8:15, in the high school-Junior College auditorium. The play is centered around a young editor, Kenneth VVade, who strived to give the people of Gresham a good newspaper. He hires very able help for his office and print shop. Sylvia Dale, society writer, aspires to better things but does much toward getting the best hot copy for her section. Bill Greg- ory, city editor, who is an ardent admirer of Sylvia, is the right-hand assistant of the editor. In his print shop, the editor has Bud Rice who tries to get all his copy on time so he can get through. He is aided by Peggy Wilson, who is a little hard-boiled at times, but really as good as gold underneath. The newspaper is in financial difficulties and is about to be taken over by an enemy of Ken- neth Wade, Dudley Kay, who is a candidate for mayor. V WVade goes to Hollywood to sell a story he has written in an effort to get the necessary money to save the newspaper. He leaves the newspaper in charge of Jane Corwin, an old newspaper and college friend. Mr. Wade returns, but without the assurance that his story has been accepted. On election day, when Kay is defeated, word comes that VVade's story has been accepted. The play abounds with snappy comedy and tense situations leading to a thrilling climax. All ends well for all concerned and the Herald is saved. . EXCELLENT CAST PRESENTS ANNUAL PLAY HOT COPYH Hot Copy, directed iby Miss Margaret Smith, was presented before a large audience and proved to be a success. The cast this year lived up to the college's reputation. The cast of characters was: Kenneth Wade ......... Paul Parker Sylvia Dale ........... Frieda Blair Bill Gregory .. ......

CANINE When the play cast trooped to McCunc, J. M. wagered that he could do every trick that Miss Smith's clog could do. After a half h0ur's competition, during which first the dog would do zz trick and receive a piece of candy, and John would do zz trick and receive the same reward, it was still a draw- as to which was the better performer, Both knew a great many nice tricks. PAGE 47 - . Y. -..V ., JU-CO FOUR'S REPERTOIRE 1 , INCLUDES POPULAR NUMBERS The .lu-Cn Four's programs have been of many various types and in a variety of places. On account of this variation in programs it has been necessary for the groupfto familiarize themselves with a number of different types of songs. Although the group sang many spiritual and religious songs they excelled in songs of the more humorous nature. Among their more popular selections were The World is Wlaiting For the Sunrisefl How Can I Leave Thee, Jane Ate Jam, Mary Had a Thomas Cat, Jonah, and Hie Away, Hie Away Home. This talented group has been called upon many times when good quartet singing was de- manded. During their first year they went to several different cities where they gave pro- grams to advertize the Parsons Junior College, also they were broadcast over station KGGF in Coffeyville on the Parsons Merchants Program. During the past year the quartet has become even more popular as entertainers. They have sung in Junior College assemblies, lodge meet- ings, churches, young peoples' city union meet- ings, Y. M. C. A. meetings, and the Lisie-Wire club meetings. They also received high recog- nition. at the Stunt Show, given last November by the Presbyterian ladies, where they arranged a fine musical stunt. lo.- Originally the staff planned to have comic cartoons on all division pages. The one for this page was to have been three black eats on a high board fence after night. Pauls 48 QUARTET BECOMES POPULAR AS PROGRAIVI ENTERTAINERS The .lu-Co Four, a quartet of young college men, all of whom are members of the college chorus, have gained much popularity in the community during the past two years. The quartet was organized in 1931 by four young men, who are lovers of music, and who are interested in harmony and quartet singing. They met outside of school hours at any place a piano was available to practice, making a study of all types Of quartet music. The Ju-Co Four were assisted in their work by Professor VVilliam Menne, director of the glee club, and it was largely by his careful in- structions that the quartet has been able to accomplish so much. In the original quartet the bass part was carried by Charles Simmcrs, but upon his de- parture from the school the part was taken by Darold I-Iackler who has proved very capable. The personnel of the group is: First tenor ....... Thornton Robinson Second tenor ........ Howard Menne Baritone ............ .lohn Williams Bass ...........,.. Darold I-Iackler .10T-.

F ,s--- .IU-Co-En SINGERS ACHIEVE Success AS ENTERTAINERS The .lu-Co-lid singers proved to be very popular entertainers at the meetings of the var- ious clubs and org'a,niza,tions of Parsons. They were in great demand at many banquets of the business and church societies throughout the year. They assisted the Senior high school string choir in several of its performances, and accom- panied this organization on many of its trips to other cities. Some of the most noteworthy trips were to Joplin, Missouri, where they gave an afternoon performance at the Scottish Rite Temple, and to Oswego, where another matinee entertainment was presented. They'have also appeared several times in the college and high school assemblies, and they were acclaimed as being a very superior orga- nized group of singers. In the annual spring Music Festival this group was quite active, furnishing a major por- tion of an evening's entertainment. No organization of the Parsons Junior Col- lege has done more to advertise the school than have these .lu-Co-Ed Singers. .io-.

J U-Co-EDS ORGANIZED To TAKE PART IN PROGRAMS The Ju-Co-Ed Singers are a group of seven girls who are members of the college chorus. They were organized to sing at functions where a small group would be more desirable than the large college chorus. Since their organization the .lu-Co-Ed Sing- ers havc attained a notable reputation for them- selves, and their director, M1'. 'William F. Menne. Mr. Mennc's work in directing this organiza- tion is characteristic of all of his work. It is largely tl11'O1lgll his untiring efforts and careful supervision that this group has been able to accomplish so much. The singers do not only have perfect har- mony in voices but they present a very pleasing appearance to the eye, gaining a spontaneous applause whenever they appear on the stage. Althou,9:h they received no college credit for their work these girls practiced faithfully and achieved thc success which was due them. By appearing at various functions both in Parsons, and in other cities, these girls have aided greatly in doing their part to advertise the Parsons Junior College. ' The members in the picture, reading' from left to right are: Eva Mae Conroy, Maxine lVinkler, first sopranos, Pauline Dobson, Vir- ginia Clark, second Sopranos, Frieda Blair, Ruth North. altos, and pianist, Helen Cribbett.

PAGE 49 r----. -, J .Ye:.. . ,L DILIGENT GRoUP CoMPosEs REGULAR COLLEGE CHORUS A small bllt interested group composed the college chorus this year. Under the capable leadership of Professor VV. F. Menne the mem- bers worked diligently to acquire the finer quali- ties of vocal music. Although the chorus has been a regular curri- cular activity, credit was given to those parti- cipating for the first time in the history of the school. One houi-'s credit was given this year for two hours of Work. The class met twice a week, on Monday and Wedlicsday, at fourth hour. The personnel of the chorus was: sopranos- Dorothy Dennis. Pauline Dobson, Edith Queen. Rachel Wilton, Helen Clay, Alice Stoker, Mar- garet Clarkg altos- Virginia Sadler, Frieda Blair, Ruth North Virginia Clark, Betty Wellsg tenors-Thornton Robinson, Theodore Volmer, Howard Menneg basses-Eugene Powers, John Williains, Lewis Maser, Edward Barnett, Gord- en Coldsmith. The outlook at the beginning of the year was not particularly bright because of the smallness of the group and the dearth of tenors. But the earnest efforts of the chorus and the patience of the director molded the class into a chorus of which the school was justly proud. io, TENORS SING BASS At the eml of the semester, when each mem- ber of the college chorus was required to sing some musical nmnlmr by himself, it was fouml, much to the surprise of the members, that sev- eral of those who hacl been singing in the ba.vs section, possessed m.ar'velous tenor 'voice.v. While some sopranos afisplayerl 'zcomlerful ability to sing in a low range. Paul-1 50 MUSIC FESTIVAL CLIMAXES MIXED CPIORUS,S ACTIVITIES VVith the rendition at the spring Music Festi- val of two cantatas, The Erl King's Daugh- ter by Gracie and I Hear America Singing by Gaul., the work of this year's chorus came to a very successful close. The willingness of the individual members to work. coupled with the fine directing ability of Professor W. F. Menne, enabled the group to undertake more difficult work than has pro- bably been tried by any preceding Parsons Junior College chorus. Professor Menne constantly strove to dc- velop the expression and fine shading that is characteristic of good music. That he succeed- ed was evident by the sincere applause and com- pliments that followed every performance of the chorus. Special attention was shown to the quality of tone, and Inembcrs of the chorus were advised and helped in improving their voices. A feature of the chorus's work was the study- ing of several old English lVfadrig-als and Mo- tcts. These. sung A Cappella. were among the most beautiful numbers that the group sang. Although the chorus made few public appear- ances. it worked faithfully to achieve as much excellence as possible and had within its reper- toire a list of numbers that would have pleased the most varied of audiences. ii-0 1 .INTRODUCING EXITS Quite in contrast to the hurried departures from the building at dismissal. is the very, very slow exit from the Dean's office, after a stu- dent has been called on the carpet. His coun- tenance usually tells the story. I 1 -ages. - ?: ,,Y- JY Y1 : fr -,,L:LL.- -J+7- - WHERE ARE THEY GOING -THESE WHO STROLL OUT? Where are they going, these seventy students who will exit through the doors of Parsons Jun- ior collegc for the last time when they graduate this spring? Will they go- to universities or colleges to further their education, or will they discontinue their school education and begin a new school- ing in the college of experience, or hard knocks F Will those who are leaving accomplish great things, take up the burden of citizenship, assume responsibilities, or will they merely fit into the situation which they obtain, settle back, and be- come just another citizen, unwilling or unable to furnish the necessary leadership required of each successive generation? Does this group of college students contain the leadership to be expected of it, or is it just a graduating class of those who have gone to school to have some place to go? To answer the foregoing questions, one would have to foresee events for the next half century, but to prophecy, one need only to glance at the names listed as the graduates. Many of those making the exit are plan- ning to enter higher colleges, to teach school, or to engage in business activity. Wliatever they do, much will be expected of them, and it will be their aim and duty to uphold and sur- pass thc traditions and accomplishments of the preceeding graduating classes. - Exits in a theater are marked with a red light. They are not so marked in this book, or in life. It will do the reader no good to turn to this section in case of fire. He may, however, if suffering from some un- known malady of the soul, find solace in con- templating these paragraphs. , Approximately two and one-half seconds after the noon and evening dismissals, students best demonstrate their ability to make exits. 'Tis indeed a rarity when a student is found in the building after dismissal. lo... One enclosure whence everyone makes a quick exit, on occasion, is the chemistry laboratory. VVhen HQS and CS2 get together the only thing for one to do is to make a quick, and possibly undignified departure. lo.-. Some few students have been known to make quite rapid exits from classrooms, but of course upon the advice of one higher up. lo- . P. J. C. made a triumphal exit with the state football championship this year. That's an exit worth writing about. 1 Probably the most dramatic exit of them all is the one of a poor college student emerging from one of tho-se dreaded, breathtaking, final exams, with pale face, very meek eyes, and a wobbly walk. .101 On the following page is found the artist's conception of the various exits seen during the school year. ...ol We thought to stage a surprise in this yearbook, so titles of the stage were chosen, the initial letters of which placed in suitable order, spell the word surprise, You have come to the final e , which might have suggested end but to the same purpose we use exits.
