This, his last year at PJC, climaxes a lite- time of service to the students of this area. As teacher and dean he has been an inspiration to those who have served under him. We hope this dedication of the 1954 ParKan to Mr. Farner will serve as our Thank you for a iob that couldn't have been done better.

The Vikings were slow to get started this year as they lost three out of their first four games. Two of these games were league tilts. The Vikes started their comeback by running over Pittsburg 33-6 then going on to win their last three games over Chanute, Columbus, and Fort Scott by large margins of 20-O, 40-6, and 18-O. Bill Hoisington and Jerry Graff, two fast stepping seniors, sparked the team to the upper-berth position.

Scott CARDINALS The Parsons Junior College Card- inals had one of the best teams this year PJC has fielded for some time. The Cards showed up very impres- sively defensively and offensively a- gainst Miami, a Little Rose Bowl con- tender. l The team had a late season start by dropping their first four games. Then they came back to whip Joplin 29-7. After getting the spirit, they lost a hard- fought battle to Coffeyville, 13-12. ln their next game, they battled the number one team in the state before giving in to Ark City 25-18. From there on out they took two impressive games from Kansas City and Fort Scott by the scores of 19-O and 13-6.

The T953-54 Student Council of PJC has had a busy year. Besides planning all major social activities they performed such other iobs as clearing the activities of the various organizations, planning the school calendar, organizing all school elections, and work- ing with the office on details. It is through the Student Council that the lounge is operated. They also plan all assemblies and shindigs. The annual Achievement Banquet was a success due to the work and effort of the Student Council. Since T947 they, on behalf of the school, supported Jacques St. Martin. Now that he has grown too old for our support, they chose a new boy. He is Choi Su Bong of Korea and is supported through the Foster Parent's Plan for War Children. The officers of the T953-T954 Student Council were: President-Lester Hearson, vice- president-Donna Good, and secretary-Jane Hoisington. The Polychromes are a selected group from the High School and J Junior College. Weekly meetings are held at the Junior College building Monday nights at 7:30. During the Christmas holidays the Polychromes presented the opera Amahl and the Night Vis- itors by Gian-Carlo Menotti.
