1943 Crossroads ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENTS OF JOPLIN JUNIOR COLLEGE JOPLIN, MISSOURI cation “The whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual .... namely to You.” Walt Whitman V ■ J. J. C. Service Honor Roll The following list of names includes only the names of the freshmen and sophomores (1942-1943) who were attending J. J. C. at the time of their entering the armed forces. Since the editors of the Crossroads were unable to compile a complete and accurate list of the names of the alumni who are serving Uncle Sam, they thought it better to omit such a list altogether. Perhaps a complete and accurate list of the alumni can be compiled for the Crossroads of 1944. Junior Martin—Army Ralph Nutz—Army Floyd Holden—Marines Jay S.

SIXTEEN BOOK TWO SOPHOMORES 1 9 43 ¥ We sophomores, perhaps more than any other sophomores in the hostory of our col¬ lege, have considered seriously our duties and obligations to ourselves, to our college, and to our country; for the conditions under which we have studied this year have been conditions far different from those under which most college sophomores in the past have studied. When we entered the halls of J. J. C. in September, 1942, our country was at war. No student, regardless of his indiv¬ idual nature or temperament, could be un¬ touched by the knowledge of this fact. We knew that our responsibilities were great ones. If we could not immediately enter into the armed services, at least we could study sincerely and diligently to prepare ourselves for any occupation at home or abroad into which our country may see fit to place us. We hope we have not failed in this. BOB ROUSSELOT JIM O’HARA GERRY BENGE EIGHTEEN Aikin, Richard Avery, Lois Bartlow, Dorothy Sue Benge, Geraldine Calvert, Dorothy Carter, J.

Distinguishing ourselves in the many extra-curricular activities, we have had many students who have become outstand¬ ing in athletics, music, dramatics, and art. The officers of our class were well or¬ ganized with J. C. Reider as our president, Edwin Hughes, vice president, and Martha Jean Brown, secretary. - ★ twenty-three V Alexander, Anne Marie Ard, Everett Ash, Billy Balsley,, Betsy Berrian, John Blair, Raymond Brotherton, Betty Brosius, Bob Brown, Byron Brown, Miartha Jean Burk, Rosamond Bunce, Mary Virginia Burrow,, Frank Burrow, John Burt, Maty Marie Cantrell, Garland Casner, Wanda Jo Cheeney, Kermit Cline, Carol Close, Robert TWENTY-FOUR ■ Combs, Alneta Cox, Dan Cox, Shirley Crumbliss, Glen Day, Lizbeth DeVaney, Claudine DeVillers, Betty Dudley, George Dunne, Bob Edds, George English, Shirley Farmer, Mary Lou Fields, Roy, Jr. Filler, Virginia Gamble, Dick Geisert., Nina Gibson, Verdaine Gilbreath, Margaret Goodrich, Geraldine Grider, Cletis TWENTY-FIVE Gum, Mary Hadley, Fred Hamilton, Burl Hamm, Charles Hampton, Marjorie Hatfield, Shirley Hawk, Donna Jean Hinkle, Bud Henley, Mignon Hinds, Magie Hughes, Edwin L.
