The Joplin Junior College Lions of 1950 have made one of the best records in the history of the college. The team started practice late in August, working hard and fighting clean all the way. They had the grit and stamina it takes for a winning team. They left behind a record that next year’s squad will find hard to equal. The Lions, under the leadership of Ed Hodges, Athletic Director, and Harold Adams, Assistant Coach, won 7 games and lost 2.

George Cox sprints around Kemper’s end and makes a touch¬ down for the faithful JJC fans. Oops! He almost got Bob that time. Bob has that ball tucked neatly un- d er his arm, as the next touch¬ down proved. The crowning of Miss Norma Long at the Home¬ coming Game, November 18, highlighted the foot¬ ball season of 1950. The candidates who were chosen by the football team were Patsy Ruth Miller, Ermanell Joslen. Joan Highbarger, and Phyllis Bogardus. The Queen was crowned by Gus Brown, captain of the football team. Johnny Orbin presented the Queen with a gold football.

This year basketball at Joplin Junior College has had its ups and downs. The squad will be remembered for its marvelous sportsmanship. They kept their spirits up even when the odds were great. They fought hard, lost, and took both defeat and victory in a way that athletes should. But when the balls had quit bouncing and the last whistle had blown, the score was 12 lost to 6 won. Page 72 Qnfra - 1 Yjural ()3a$l?etl a tt Next year things should look up for basketball at Joplin Junior College. The games this year were exciting, clean and most of them were close decisions. The boys were “in there all the way,” showing sportsmanship, stamina, courage, clean playing, and most important of all, they did their best. For the first time we had intra-mural basketball. We all enjoyed those red hot games played on the “Y” court during the noon lunch hour.

Joplin Junior College was represented this year by a squad of fine cheer¬ leaders selected on a tryout basis by the advisor, Mrs. Lucille Downer. Regular practices were held and a great deal of time was given by each student so that his performance would be a credit to the school in their green and gold uniforms, this squad led the cheers at all the home football games, and traveled with the team and loyal fans to several out-of-town gridiron clashes. We are sure their peppy and faithful support of the team had a lot to do with the fine record made by the Joplin Junior College Lions on the gridiron. Page 74 9.
