The six candidates, Betty Rowton, Marjorie Parker, Patty Lacey, Verna Richards, Marion Fountain, and Victoria Evans, were nominated by the squad, who elected Miss Evans the night before the J oplin-Eldorado game. Th i rty-one The thud of leather and canvas and the surge of green and white jerseys brought a knowing glint to the eyes of the J.J.C. grid adherents early this fall, but injuries and with- drawees had a dire effect on the Green and Gold pigskin fortunes. Nevertheless, Coach Collins whipped together a rugged aggrega- tion which turned in three impressive victories and held the powerful Chanute gridders to a deadlock. After polishing off Parsons in the sea- son's opener, the Lions returned home for a game in Miner's park with Eldorado. The scrappy and colorfully garbed Kansans fell be- fore the smoothly geared Collinites, 13-0. This clash provided the scene for the first of Bill Warren's two unorthodox pass interceptions and touchdown dashes. , ' Th irty-tw Following the tie with Chanute, the Green and Gold grid tide fell to low ebb. A disastrous 44-0 rout by Coieyville and a quick succession of defeats by Springfield, Iola, Inde- pendence, and Miami, left the homelings with but one more chance to emerge victorious. And this they proceeded to do with vengeance to the delight of a festive Thanksgiving day crowd that overflowed Junge Stadium. The Greyhounds went home licking their wounds as a result of the 13-6 clawing received from the Lions. The 1941 gridders chose Junior Harchas, hard-hitting fullback from Bixby, to succeed Charles Crarnpton, 1940 captain.

In the picture at the right is Vicky Evans showing how a basket is made in good form, and below is Betty Jo Williams about to slam that tennis ball back over the net. With the elimination of track from this spring's athletic calendar, golf and tennis assumed the proportions of major Thirty-n sports.

The feeling is almost universal in America that We should all be concerned about the need for National Defense, that we should not only be concerned about what should be done to defend our country and its institutions but that we should do something about it. Some are going to camp for training in the school of the soldier, to learn the use of modern instruments of warfare, both of offense and de- fense, and to become efficient in their use. Others are training for work in factories where implements of warfare are built. Others are making themselves ready for any emergency wherever help is needed in case of attack from an outside enemy. Education must help furnish the needed training for actual warfare, but it must look beyond the immediate need of making defense against a visible enemy threatening our personal safety or that of our homes. There are other things of Very great importance that must be defended and perpetuatedg namely, liberty, justice, and equal opportunity for all. The goal of education should be the development of all citizens, the dignity and Worth of the individual, the principle of human equality and brotherhood, the nobility of labor, concern for the common good, free- dom of speech and the press, personal integrity, honesty and fairness, a sense of appreciation of moral worth, and the value of the religious life.

As he walked past, the sun burst through the gray heavens And sent a shaft of gold to touch his head As if to bless him, who with firm step Trod the paths of freedom his ancestors had made. Another day I stood and watched another youth pass by. His steps were not so firm nor his cloak so shining. No sun was there to bless him As he walked again the toilsome way Of a life deprived of freedom. Two youths they were, who passed me by. One left a joy, the other a tear. -Hildred Bebee.

If you spend too much time on the retaining wall, And neglect your lessons, or don't study at all, If you shun the library as you walk down the hall- You'll probably be a Freshman again next fall. -Betty Snow. IT'S FATE Eight o'clock Gee, I'll be late. Hey, Mother Get my plate. Grab a bite Run like mad Second tardy? Gosh, that's bad. -Harriet Jones. 0nHllT ust Cwandeting . . . continue AID FROM THE PAST Whither away, Sir Gallant Knight? I see you are leaving today. I go to fight in the Twentieth Century. They are having a war, they say. H IK They are our descendants, And they need my aid, So I go to settle The dispute they have made. LK The Black Knights of Greed Have entered their hearts: And when they enter, The countries part. ll The women are crying, Their sons are shot down: Their homes are shelled, And burned to the ground 61 Now I must go, And rout out these knights, These greedy villians, Who are causing such plights. ll I shall come back victorious, Believe me, fair maid, And rest in my coffin For another decade. -Lois Clark. THE STUFF MAN'S MADE OF Of the stuff man's made of, no one knows, Except that as one learns and grows, He finds that the chemicals of man Would cost ninety-six cents and fill a quart can This is the physical makeup of man. -Myron McIntosh. AMERICA I live in America A land dear to my heart A land of love and freedom Of which I am a part. I'm glad I live in America A land whose people are free Where I am allowed to act and think And be what I want to be. -Margaret Morris. l d Elevex eystone otel COFFEE SHOP AND DINING ROOM PLATE LUNCHES 250 and 35C 4-COURSE LUNCHEONS 50C DINNERS 50c and up AIR CONDITIONED OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY 4th and Main Street Joplin, Missouri Sf, Sf, KRESGE COMPANY Sc, 10c and 25C Store Qj S1.00 Store 506 Main Street 514 Main Street The Community's Necessityl' JOPLIN, MISSOURI Y TT? :Z :u:'::n:n:U:u:n:'::::n:u:x:: I 4 -,CPO 'Z tY'a of Distinction AT MODERATE PRICES 424 Miner's Bank Building Joplin and 4th Streets S OIT1 O3 . 011113211157 Quality Has No Substitute EXCLUSIVE DEALERS Sappliire Smolceless Coal OHddTl .qlze Umnerican Cway IS THE SAVING WAY Send us your laundry and dry cleaning Work.
