When warned that abject submission offered the only salvation against overwhelming power, hope showed the only way to victory. “Hope has become the secret weapon of the forces of liberation. “Aggressors could not dominate the human mind. As long as hope remains, the spirit of man will never be crushed ” —President Truman ' s Message to Congress April 16, 1945. Four Five QoJxH Stan, “it is when our budding hopes are nipped beyond recovery by some rough wind, that we are the most disposed to picture to ourselves what flowers it might have borne, if they had flourished.” — Dickens.

The Sophomores of 1945, meeting the first week of the fall session to organize and to plan their year ' s activities, elected the following officers: president, Stanley Maret; vice-president, Bill Claybourne; secretary, Betty Allen; treasurer, Ruby Granger. Throughout the year the class participated in both civic and college activities. They gave generously of their time in aiding the waste paper drives, the collection of clothes for the needy at home and abroad, and the selling of war stamps and bonds. But these outside activities, which students in peacetime are not called upon to do, did not lessen their interest or participation in the usual college affairs. They were well represented in the Student Senate and the various college societies, served on committees, had “leads in the college plays, were members of the musical organizations, and maintained a more than satisfactory scholastic standing.

Yes, we freshmen, perennials that we are, made our entrance at the doors of J. J. C.—just as many have done before us and many will do after us. Eager to meet this new experience, we were nevertheless just a little scared. But the first few weeks passed rapidly, and school routine soon settled down enough that we could have an election of class officers. Since the largest portion of our class was girls, the boys naturally (i. e. according to NATURE) won two of the three offices. We chose Bob Patrick for president, Carolyn Johnson for vice-president, and Bob DeVaney for secretary. Under their direction, we not only held a successful mixer but also outdid the less-energetic sophomores in the sale of war stamps. Consequently, the sophomores enter¬ tained us with the gala Harem Hop. During the year, we ve made many new friends from Carthage, Galena, Webb City, Marshall, Nevada, and Neosho. Tuesday, May 29 closes Part I in the college life of the freshman class of ' 45. We hope that Part II will be as interesting, enjoyable, and enlightening.

A style show depicting new trends in spring fashions was given for the queen ' s court. The gowns were furnished by local merchants and were modeled by our own J. J. C. ‘Powers models . The chorus and orchestra provided the musical background for the fashion parade. Peggy Davison and Bob Myers were announcers. This event is one of the many J. J. C. Highlights.

December 8, Dear Diary: I’m still coughing from the powder Stan Monty Wooley Maret shook Sixty-two from his beard in The Man Who Came To Dinner”. It was super and Stan, as well as the whole cast, did themselves proud. Gee, I do feel sorry for those usherettes, they must have hurried so fast from home that they forgot to take off their aprons. But they really looked perk! December 17, The time of the year has come, Dear Diary, when the air smells crisp and the tinkling of the Salvation Army Bells can be heard. Yes, it ' s almost Christmas and the Betas put on a very inspiring program in school today. Just sorta put us all in a Christmas spirit. We left our old Alma Mater today for a two weeks vacation and does it seem swell to be out for a few lazy days. P. S. I wonder where those “slick chicks” got all that mistletoe???? Dear Diary: What a vacation and what fun!!! But here I am again doing the drag, only more so as it’s EXAMS. Not just mid, but semester and that means work. Now I know how it is to stay up ' till 4 A. M. but it ' s worth it, I guess. Well this must be short as I must feed my brain to make fame. January 22, Dear Diary: Here we are, D. D., with a new year, a new semester and new books. No wonder I couldn ' t find some of my books—seems that the roaches have been living off of them. The janitress met us at the door with powder to kill the vermins. It didn ' t seem to make us very sick though. Anyway, we sprinkled it in our locker and there ' s no excuse for our noses to be shiny now. Things are really banging. We have new lessons and new interests, as well as a new president, Jean Farrar; so I know this semester is going to be even better than last. February 16, Dear Diary: Excitement, excitement!!!! Coronation of the Crossroads Queen and Fashion Show all in one night. It happened at the Fox Theater. The lights were dimmed and Mrs. Dale ' s baton led on the beautiful ladies. Models, luscious clothes, and vivacious queen, Ruby. Powers really knows how to pick them. March 12, Dear Diary: Are we ever lucky!!! Dr. Burges Johnson gave a brilliant talk at a special assembly today. He told of his experiences as an author and publisher, and of his friendship with Mark Twain, O. Henry, and other well known authors. We all enjoyed it very much and I do hope he comes again. March 15, Dear Diary: The Sophs lost the bond sales, and had a Harem Hop for the Freshies- And what fun-The irresistible O. B. won the prize, a bag of peanuts, for escorting the largest harem to the party, and Junior Levin won the book, Marriage Is a Private Affair for the best-dressed sultan. He ought to be able to use it. The stag line was three feet deep—girls naturally. Mr. Osborn seemed to have a marvelous time. But who didn ' t? Nite .... March 16, Those were the good old days. At least the Kappas made me feel that way, as they staged “When Paw Was Courting Ma in assembly today. Clothes of “Ma ' s” time were modeled by the Kappas, Dear Diary, and Coleen sang as the “Glamour Girls” strolled merrily on. I just can’t figure out how our mothers managed a bicycle in those long skirts. Sixty-three March 19, Dear Diary: We had some boys in our school today. Yep, live ones. But it didn’t last long. They were there making speeches and really knew how to give out with the lines—debate of course—and the girls were just as good. At the close of the tournament, the Student Senate held a tea in the main hall. Yours truly was dishwasher. Gee, I’ll have to wear these gloves for weeks, my hands are so red. I remain. J. J. C s Social Outcast .... March 23, Dear Diary: Do-ra me-fa so-la’s, you guessed it. The music festival is in full swing. I was practically run over by those little musicians carrying instruments larger than they. The invasion of these musicians lasted for three long days . . . . But it s worth it. Perhaps some day they will be good enough to play with the Hoosier Hot Shots. April 11, Aye, yi, yi, have you ever been in the tropics? Well, I have, Dear Diary, for forty-five minutes this morning as the Spanish Club put on its Pan- American Program. April 12, Dear Diary: Today, Old Glory was lowered to half-mast as the whole world learned of the death of our valiant president . It is hard to believe that he should he taken from us at the time when victory is so near . He has fought along with us, shown us the way to peace, and yet, he was taken too soon to see it and live it once again. He will go down in history as one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known and will be mourned by us alL Perhaps this is a test to show that we can carry on, no matter how hard the going becomes. We will win that victory, Dear Diary, as well as the ever-lasting peace that will follow, just as President Roosevelt wished: So Hail and Farewell, our departed Chief! May Old Glory ' s stars and stripes fly high in the sky .... Forever! April 13, Dear Diary: Might be unlucky for some people but not for the cast of Pride and Prejudice , as it was super and proved that J. J. C. has real dramatic talent. The usherettes really looked slick in their pastel formals. Need more be said? May 27, Exams, exams and I do mean exams! So, my Dear Diary, I am burning the night oil once again. It’s for the last time this year, though, and I can hardly wait ’till ole summer time is here. Then I can eat, sleep, and sleep, and sleep .... May 29, Dear Diary: Class day has rolled around. Can you keep a secret, Dear Diary? I’m not nearly as anxious to leave college as I thought I would be. The Sophs look really dignified in their caps and gowns as they gaze for the last time at the rooms and halls of their dear Alma Mater. So as each nodded his last goodbye, I know it’s not the tassel that’s in his eye ... . The Faculty and Fres hies wish them well. Bye ’till next year, Prattling Pat Metsker. Sixty-four Testing 1, 2—testing. Tree for two. What a face!!! Dancing under the stars. Sweets for the sweets. Oh, no, not McGregor. There must be a shortage. Slick chicks!!!! Closer and closer. Guess Who????? Sixty-five You don’t say!! How cheap!!! Heap Big Indian. Just fits!!! Ruby, how “Con” you? Two birds of a feather. Sleep Walkers. Cornered again!! Black market, no doubt. Burr, it ' s cold. Her Crowning Glory. Charley’s keeping us informed. Lena Horn Stines. The Catacombs of the Fox. Quiet JliueA. Many times as I go walking from school to catch the bus for home, I am surprised that although I have no companion, I am not alone at all but am surrounded by many people—unknown people with whom I may never exchange a word or by whom I am scarcely noticed. But who can say that my unpretentious life is quiet? Perhaps my voice is still, but my eyes are working overtime; my ears take in all. Thrills, chills, emotions, never before experienced can and do happen in this short, daily walk. m At times, I have been lifted up among the stars, have been inspired to do great things—by just passing a friendly stranger. A stranger who perhaps might remind me of my dear old dad, or maybe just a stranger with an understanding look on his face. And every day my unaccompanied walk is different. Today on my jour¬ ney, I pass a lean tall girl, tottering along in her high heels. She stumbles. She laughs—a guilty little laugh—and I smile kindly in return.A kinship has been established. She had singled me out from the crowd to share her embarrassment. We are no longer strangers for we have shared an ex¬ perience. My steps grows lighter. I see the old armless man selling newspapers on the corner, and I dig down to get my three cents for the evening paper. I find a nickel, my heart is bursting. I gayly toss the nickel into the basket on his lap and take my paper. He sings out, Get your change!” Oh, oh, keep it”, I gruffly answer.Yes, feeling as joyful as though I had just given a cool thousand. At the corner, I pause to wait for the traffic light to change. Cars are speeding by. But one old lady seems not to notice and steps into the street. A car filled with yelling high school students weaves crazily down the street! I lightly touch her shoulder and point to the traffic light. Oh,” she says nervously, Thank you!” And she steps back until the light changes. Did I affect her? Maybe, but probably not. But in my heart entered a buoyant tone—a well-dressed feeling. My shoulders straighten. I think of Jim. Oh, yes, we’ll have a good time tonight. Yes, Jim’s wonderful! So is Mother. That quarrel we had this morning ... Of course it was all my fault, and yet, I could have sworn this morning it was hers. I look at my newspaper. Ah, famous people—Roosevelt, Stalin, Hull, Eden, Churchill, and Hitler—blasting their names around the world. Loud lives! Lives that do things. Lives that influence people around the globe. Lives in the headlines of life. But there are also other lives—our lives. Lives that in a lifetime never see their name in print. Lives that thrill at a chance smile from someone on the street. Lives that are meek. Lives that shall inherit the earth”! —Margaret Rawson. Qood- Sye, Sue The young couple sat side by side in the station and waited for the train that would soon put thousands of miles between them. They sat there deep in their own thoughts; painfully aware of the loneliness that was engulfing them. Bill hated this waiting and waiting. One minute he wished that the train would come and the good-bye” would be over. The next minute he was praying that the train would not come, for he knew that when the train pulled out of the station, he and Sue wouldn’t see each other for many, many months, perhaps years. Sue felt like crying, but she couldn’t let Bill see her cry. She wanted him to remember her smiling. She just wouldn’t be sad. Hadn’t she become a bride only this morning? But how could she endure life without Bill? Sixty-seven So Bill and Sue tried hard to be gay and to hide their heartbreak but they did not succeed. They became serious, planning their future together. Even the bright dreams for the future could not ease the heartache of parting. All too soon the train chugged into the station. This was the moment they dreaded. How could he, Bill, part with Sue when he had only found her? By the time the last All Aboard was called tears were streaming down Sue ' s face. At last the train pulled out of the station, and took with it Sgt. Sue of the W. A. C. Bill turned to leave muttering to himself I’d better hurry or I’ll be late for the swing shift. = .j. moxley. SltQJlt c llQSlt Seated in a comfortable chair at one end of a large room, is Mr. Donovan Babbitt. From time to time other people enter and leave the place. But Mr. Babbitt takes no notice of them. He appears to be worried or uneasy. From time to time he glances nervously at a clock on the wall. The time is two twenty-five p. m. He is wondering— Should I keep my engagement? I have not seen the man yet. He has not seen me. I could leave now. In five minutes it will be too late, because he is never late in keeping appointments. I really dread the thought of seeing him again. Some of my business associates like the man even less than I do. He usually tries to do all the talking. He never hesitates to tell us what he thinks is wrong with us. He has hurt me deeply on several occasions. Al¬ though I am a busy man, he tells me when it is convenient for him to see me. And I never see him without my giving him money. Persuaded by the strength of his own argument, Mr. Babbitt rises, and prepares to depart. But alas, he has delayed too long. A door opens, and standing in the doorway is the man Babbitt had hoped to avoid. Escape is now impossible. But Babbitt is a man who can make the best of a bad situa¬ tion, so he speaks to the man, walks through the doorway and bravely seats himself in the dentist’s chair. —John Stukey Eckman. MitjlU ' WoaJz The man appeared in the street out of nowhere and quickly glanced about him. It was night and the feeble light from the street lamp threw eerie shadows everywhere. The man took a few quick steps and the sound of his boots on the wet pavement sounded hollow and distant. Then he stopped and again glanced about him. Another figure who was carrying a bulky suitcase glided noiselessly from a near-by doorway and joined him in the shadows. They greeted each other by a short handclasp and walked on. Presently the one who had been the first to appear spoke and the tones of his voice were muffled by the heavy scarf which half concealed his face. Well, Pete, what did the boss decide? At this query, Pete, who had apparently been waiting for the first man to speak, replied: Everything is ready. Then as if this were the keynote to the conversation which followed, each began to speak more freely. They discussed the plans that seemingly had been discussed many times before. Plans that involved a great deal of work. Plans which must be carried out immediately. Pete glanced nervously again and again at his suitcase. Evidently the bulky object hurt his arm. As they approached a narrow dark alley, they crept through the shadows and then suddenly the first stopped and pointed to a dry place on the muddy pavement. Pete deposited his suitcase upon the spot. Again the first spoke. Hurry up with those tols from the case. Let’s get this job finished in a hurry. Personally, I think it’s blamed inconsiderate of the city to expect a leak to be fixed in the water main at this time of the night. —Marjorie Crews.
