ALMA MATER Words by Mary Laird, Class of ’39 Music by Emerson Jackson, Class of ’39 The seal of Joplin Junior Col¬ lege was designed by mem¬ bers of the art classes under the direction of Mr. Arthur Boles. The die for the seal was made by Hugh Claycomb, jr. It pictures a burning lamp placed over an open book and signifies that only through learning may the Light of Life illumine our understand¬ ing. The school flag was presented to the college at the Thanks¬ giving assembly, 1941, by members of the Teachers of Tomorrow, then known as the Pi Alpha Gamma. The school seal was stamped in gold on a background of green, thus featuring the school colors; on the reverse side, the seal was shown in green on a background of gold. The flag was designed by June Keepper, Guida La Gasse, and Gladys Winter under the direction of Mr. Arthur Boles, art in¬ structor, and Mrs. Ermie Whitfield, sponsor of the group. The “Alma Mater,” the college song, was first sung on the Class Day program in 1939. The lyrics were written by Mary Laird, editor-in-chief of the Crossroads, and the music by Emerson Jack- son, president of the Sophomore class and member of the Crossroads staff. The motto, “We learn not for scholarship, but for life,” was proposed by Dean H. E. Blaine and adopted as the motto of the college. From its inception to the present time, Joplin Junior College has proved, through the records and achievements of J. J. C. students, the wisdom and significance of Dean Blaine ' s choice. i 111 j m Our A1 - ma Ma - ter, we ho - nor thee. m Pi J j i J i shap - ing and guid - ing our de - sti - ny. $ % t. | J i J j i J Af - ter we have part - ed as the years roll by; i i lU J Ji ii well keep each me - mo - ry hail, hail to thee.
