Duana  Boswell,  freshman,  has  been 
selected  editor  of  the  Tiger  Tales,  Ar- 
kansas City  Junior  College  official  stu- 
dent paper.  Assisting  with  the  publica-

type operators  in  the  school  print  shop, 
the  Tiger  Tales  is  being  printed  by  The 
Traveler.

Dorothy  Haslett  and  Georgia  Ann 
Rahn,  freshmen,  resumed  class  work 
Monday  after  a  week  spent  at  the  State 
Fair    in    Hutchinson,    Kansas. 


DR.  JERRY  J.  VINEYARD 


Are  you  sure  you've  got  enough  grade 
points  to  transfer  to  another  college  or 
university  with  advanced  standing?  It 
you  aren't,   pay   'tention !    ! 

In  order  tor  a  student  to  be  recom- 
mended for  advanced  standing,  he  must 
have  at  least  an  average  of  a  C.A  "C" 
average  means  that  his  grade  points 
must  be  equal  to  the  number  of  hours 
credit   earned. 

The  grades  are  averaged  by  the  point 
system,  whereby  each  hour  credit  with 
a  grade  of  A  counts  three  grade  points. 
Each  hour  credit  with  a  grade  of  B 
counts  two  grade  points.  Each  hour 
credit  with  a  grade  of  C  counts  1  grade 
point  and  each  hour  with  a  grade  of  D 
couts  no  grade  points.  An  hour  with  a 
grade  of  F  subtracts  1  grade  point. 

If  a  grade  of  an  A  is  received  in  a 
five  hour  course,  he  has  earned  15 
grade  points,  a  grade  of  a  B,  10  grade 
points;  a  grade  of  C,  5  grade  points, 
and  a  grade  of  an  F  subtracts  5  grade 
points  from  the  total  earned. 

Absences  which  are  necessary,  are 
either  excused  or  unexcused.  The  only 
type  of  absence  which  is  excused  is  that 
which  is  due  to  illness,  or  the  death  of 
a  relative  or  close  friend.  In  such  cases, 
the  student  is  given  the  privilege  of 
making  up  the  work  missed,  provided  he 
obtains  a  written  permit  from  the  office

Turner  Elected 
Student  Council 
President 

Politics  raged  hot  and  heavy  last 
week  as  the  "Underground  College" 
staged  the  election  for  class  officers. 

After  a  close  contest  for  student  coun- 
cil president,  Jim  Turner,  sophomore 
nominee,  defeated  Elwood  Keller,  who 
was  nominated  by  the  freshman  class. 

Jack  Miller  and  Ernest  Taton  were 
named  presidents  of  the  freshman  and 
sophomore  classes. 

Rodney  Wilson  was  elected  vice  pres- 
ident of  the  sophomores.  Bud  Chaplin 
the  secretary-treasurer,  and  James  Mc- 
Cormick,  Roy  Hadley  and  Rebecca  Rine, 
student  council  representatives. 

Other  freshman  officers  are  Wayne 
Estus,  vice  president;  Barbara  Wahler, 
secretary-treasurer;  and  Jack  Warren, 
David  Hearne,  and  Virginia  Banks,  stu- 
dent council  representatives. 

Other  sophomore  candidates  were 
Keith  Hearne  and  Mark  Porch  for 
president,  Jack  Stafford  and  Bob  Law- 
son  for  vice  president,  and  Malcolm 
Smith  and  Rosemary  Warren  as  nom- 
inees for  secretary-treasurer.  Sopho- 
more candidates  for  student  council 
representatives  were  Nadine  Johnson, 
Dick   Kelly,   and    Ethel    Harvey. 

Other  freshman  nominees  included 
Bill  Mitchell  and  Jeri  Acton  for  pres- 
ident, Janell  Estep  and  Georgia  Rahn, 
vice  president;  Ann  Roehl  and  Charles 
Tanner,  secretary-treasurer;  and  James 
Austin,  Filson  Day,  and  Marvin  Wilhite 
for  student  council  representatives. 

The  freshman  candidates  for  student 
council  president  nominee  were  Rex 
Howe  and  Rebecca  Rine.  Other  sopho- 
more nominees  for  this  office  were  Nor- 
man   Byers   and    Peggy   Sullivan. 


immediately  upon  his  return  to  school. 
Permits  will  not  be  issued  two  or  three 
days  late,  unless  due  to  unavoidable 
circumstances.  Such  work  must  be  made 
up  within  a  reasonable  length  of  time, 
otherwise  a  grade  of  zero  will  be  re- 
corded  for  the  days   missed. 

In  case  of  other  legitimate  reasons 
for  absence  from  class,  as  many  ab- 
sences as  there  are  semester  hours 
credit  in  the  course  may  be  allowed. 
Thus,  in  a  five  hour  course,  five  un- 
excused absences  may  be  allowed.  Three 
tardies  count  as  one  unexcused  absence. 
A  student  who  is  late  to  class  must  re- 
port to  the  instructor  at  the  close  of  a 
class  period.  The  instructor  is  not  held 
responsible  for  changing  an  absence 
mark  to  a  tardy,  unless  the  student  re- 
ports at  the  close  of  a  class  period.

Let's   Keep  Our 
Clubroom  Neat 


Need  rest  and  relaxation?  That's 
what  it's  for.  Have  to  have  a  place  to 
work?  That's  what  it's  for.  Want  a 
place  to  wait  for  the  next  class?  That's 
what  it's  for. 

And.  you  say,  just  what  and  where 
is  this  marvelous  thing?  Well,  fellow 
students — 

Tucked  neatly  in  the  corner  of  the 
basement  is  a  large  room  known  as  the 
Arkansas  City  Junior  College  Club- 
room.  This  room  has  been,  for  our  use 
and  enjoyment,  equipped  with  ping 
pong,  cards  solas,  chairs,  magazines,  a 
phonograph,   and   records. 

Accompanying  the  privilege  of  using 
this  room  comes  our  responsibility  ol 
keeping  it  neat.  That  means  no  scrap 
papers  on  the  floor,  no  pencil  marks 
on  the  furniture,  and  no  broken  equip- 
ment. 

So  come  now,  don't  let  other  stu- 
dents get  all  the  enjoyment  out  of 
those  boogie  and  classical  records,  don't 
let  someone  else  wear  out  all  the  ping 
pong  balls  and  above  all,  don't  let  any 
one  leave  dirt  and  muss  around  the 
room.  Get  in  the  swing!  Use  the  club- 
room  ! 

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

If  you  happen  to  meet  a  tall  slender 
girl  coming  down  the  hall  and  think 
that  you  just  saw  her  going  in  the  other 
direction,  don't  rush  off  to  a  psychia- 
trist. You're  just  seeing  LaGyne  Haw- 
kins, and  her  twin  sister,  RaGyne. 

Ludge  was  born  on  August  14.  19  29. 
This  18-year-old  miss  is  5  feet  9  inches 
tall  with  dark  brown  curly  hair  and 
dark    eyes. 

During  her  junior  and  senior  years 
in  high  school,  she  attended  Mount 
Carmel   Girls  Academy   in   Wichita. 

Among  her  likes  are  sloppy  Joes  and 
Dr.  Pepper  (plug),  and  "For  Sentimen- 
tal   Reasons." 

Ibr  currenl  hear)  interest  is.  at  pres- 
ent, going  to  school  in  Chicago.  He  is  a 
small  guy,  onlj  6  feet  1  inch  tall,  with 
"simply  gorgeous"  blond  hair  and  blue 
eyes. 

Any  time  she  isn't  occupied  with 
something  else,  you  can  find  her  at  her 
favorite  pastime,  which  is  drawing  and 
designing  elm  lies.  On  the  subject  of  the 
new  length  skirls.  Ludge  answered.  "I 
like  them!  Much!  That  is.  it  they  don't 
get   too  long." 


THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


School   days,  school  days. 

Dear   old   golden   rule   days. 

Rhetoric,  trig,  and  history, 

Taught    to   the   tune   of   a — 

Oh.  well.  I  can't  make  anything 
rhyme  anyway,  but  you  get  the  idea.  It 
really  is  great  to  be  back  and  see  every- 
one again  after  three  months  of  missing 
out  on  all  the  gossip,  even  if  it  isn't  so 
much  fun  having  to  knuckle  down  to 
business  again,  isn't  it? 


like  to  see  in  the  paper,  just  drop 
a  note  about  it  in  the  box,  but 
please  sign  your  name  in  case  more 
details   are   needed. 

Congrats  to  the  football  team  for 
winning  the  first  encounter  of  the  sea- 
son with  Chanute. 

Congrats'  to  the  high  school  team 
for  winning  their  first  game,  too.  It 
looks  like  everyone  got  off  to  a  good 
start. 


Say,  gals,  strictly  oft'  the  record, 
but  doesn't  it  seem  like  old  times 
to  have  the  male  population  hack? 
Especially  at  these  three  to  one 
odds?  Fun,  isn't  it? 


Say,  did  you  know  that  there  is  a 
four-year-old  attending  juco?  June 
Work  hasn't  bad  a  birthday  for  a  long 
time  it  seems.  Technically  she  is  18. 
but  she  won't  be  five  until  she  is  20. 
Confusin'  but  true. 


Gerald  Petterolf  in  assembly — 
"I'd  venture  to  say  that  we're  the 
only  underground  college  in  the 
country." 


We  had  lots  of  fun  getting  out 
of  school  early  during  the  hot 
spell,  even  if  it  was  sorta  uncom- 
fortable. 

It  seems  as  though  the  foods  classes 
have  been  canning  so  many  plums  that 
they  are  going  pumb  nuts!    !    (Joke) 

Have  any  of  you  happened  to 
notice  the  sign  on  the  door  of  the 
Tiger  Tales  staff  room?  Don't  judge 
the  room  at  the  present  though. 
The  staff  have  big  plans  for  it, 
featuring  a  can  of  paint. 


Congrats  to  Jim  Turner  for  being 
elected  student  council  prexy.  Good 
luck,  Jim. 


Say  everyone,  you've  all  been 
neglecting  the  little  wooden  box  in 
the  clubrooms.  Whenever  you  think 
or    hear    of    something    that    you'd 


Summer  has  faded  away; 

Fall   is  here   to   stay. 

I   am   broke; 

And  that's  no  joke 

and  three  more  fees  to  pay. 


Gotta    be    goin'    now,    and    don't 
forget  the  little  box  next  week. 


Fourteen  Family 
Combination  in  Juco 

How  would  you  like  to  have  your 
liltle  brother  or  sister  come  to  the 
dinner  table  to  tell  that  terrible  boner 
you  pulled  in  rhetoric  or  history  today? 
Or  are  you  among  the  sixteen  family 
groups    attending    juco? 

Yes,  there  are  fourteen  brother-sister 
and  brother-brother  (oh,  brother!  )  com- 
binations going  to  school.  Two  families 
have  four  children  all  attending  this 
same  institution.  Do  you  know  them? 
They're  June,  Virgil,  Erwin  and  Warren 
Work  and  Yvonne,  Malcolm.  Jack  and 
Etta  Jane  Gardenhire,  only  Etta  Jane 
is  Mrs.  Dale  Wallace. 

The  others  only  have. one  brother  or 
sister  to  dodge.  They  include  Warren 
and  Rill  (Spud)  Dowell.  Clementine 
and  Homer  Fritchman,  James  and  J.  D. 
Halcomb,  LaGyne  and  RaGyne  Hawkins 
(the  twins),  David  and  Keith  Hearne, 
Francie  and  James  Heinz.  Charles  and 
Wallace  Laughlin,  Jeanne  and  Lynn 
Smith,  Rob  and  Bill  Sneller,  Curtis  and 
Rill  Swaim.  Charles  and  George  Ward, 
Donald  and  Wayne  Gribble,  Richard  and 
William  Kelley  and  Clarence  Osburn. 

The  next  time  you  hear  "Oh,  broth- 
er!", you'll  know  somebody  isn't  kid- 
ding! 


Wanted — A  Name 
For  an  Organization 

Put  on  your  thinking  caps  guys  and 
gals!  You  may  be  able  to  help  in  a  big 
advancement  slated  for  sometime  soon. 

When  the  new  student  council  starts 
this  year's  proceedings,  one  of  the  first 
questions  will  be  concerning  the  reor- 
ganization   of   the   juco    pep   club. 

The  administration  is  backing  the 
plan  to  the  limit  but  there  are  still  a 
lot  of  question  marks. 

Should  this  organization  continue  as 
an  older  edition  of  the  high  school 
club  or  should  it  branch  out  with  a  new- 
face — even  a  new  name?  Any  juco  stu- 
dent who  has  an  opinion  or  an  idea  for 
a  name  for  the  club,  let  it  be  known  by 
dropping  a  note  in  the  Tiger  Tales  box 
in    the  college  clubrooms. 

According  to  Mr.  J.  Kelsey  Day,  spon- 
sor of  the  organization,  it  is  hoped  that 
many  vital  changes  may  be  incorporated 
this  year.  Membership  may  possibly  be 
through  application  to  the  student  coun- 
cil. 

So  far  in  the  game,  these  and  other 
ideas  are  only  plans,  but  in  a  short  time 
they  will  be  put  into  practice. 

Let  your  choice  for  a  name  be  known!

Leap  Year  Starts  Now  For 
Juco  Belles  With  3  to  1  Odds 


Grab  your  shootin'  irons,  Daisy  Mae, 
and  let's  start  the  leap  year  procedure 
now.  After  all,  why  wait  another  three 
months  for  the  new  year  when  the  odds 
in  ACJC  are  three  he'uns  to  every 
she'un!  Yep,  that's  the  story.  With  a 
total  enrollment  of  229,  there  are  145 
freshmen  and  79  upper  classmen  and  5 
special  students.  This  includes  167 
boys  and  6  2  girls. 

Although  the  figures  show  odds  of 
three  boys  to  every  one  girl,  no  facts 
are  available  to  show  the  number  of 
males  that  have  already  entered  into 
holy  wedlock  and  have  that  binding 
band,  the  nuptial  knot,  on  the  third 
finger  of  the  left   hand. 

Seventy-nine  veterans  are  attending 
junior  college  under  the  compliments  of 
Uncle  Sam  and  their  own  time  in  ser- 
vice. An  undetermined  number  of  the 
ex-servicemen  are  attending  school  at 
or  near  home  at  their  own  expense  and 
will  use  their  G.I.  Bill  privileges  to 
attend  a  senior  college.  Beware,  though, 
Jucobelle  for  they  all  only  draw  $65 
a  month! 

H.  Clementine  Fritchman  is  the  only 
ex-servicewoman  to  attend  under  the 
G.I.  Bill.  She  served  18  months  in  the 
WAVES.  She  and  her  brother,  Homer 
W.  Fritchman,  are  in  the  brother-sister 
combination  which  number  with  the 
other  family  groups  attending  with 
servicemen's  (and  service  women's) 
rights.  The  others  are  James  F.  and 
John  Davis  Halcomb  and  Clarence  and 
Lawrence   Osburn.

Link  Trainer 
Course  Offered 
Hopeful  Pilots 

"Gee,   I   ended    up  at   sea   level." 

"Well,  there's  another  hour's  flying 
time." 

So  will  be  murmuring  young  Roger- 
willco's"  as  they  stumble  out  of  the 
new  link  trainer  set  up  in  the  former 
farm   shops. 

The  instrumental  flying  machine  was 
purchased  last  year  "as  army  surplus 
from  Tinker  Field,  Oklahoma  City  Air 
Depot.  It  has  been  stored  in  the  athletic 
field  house  since  its  purchase.  With 
three  classes  in  session,  two  of  them 
junior  college,  the  trainer  is  expected 
to   be  used  extensively. 

Elements  of  aeronautics,  the  junior 
college  course,  is  a  three  semester  hour 
credit  course.  Any  ex-servicemen  may 
use  the  surplus  from  their  allottment  to 
enroll  in  the -course,  free  of  charge. 
However,  no  flying  time  is  given  unless 
the    student    is    also    flying    at    a    local 


field.  The  course,  however,  is  not  lim- 
ited   to    former   G.I.'s. 

The  first  class  was  held  Sept.  15  for 
beginners.  A  class  for  those  working 
on  their  commercial  pilot's  license,  was 
opened  Sept.  17.  The  latter  group  will 
complete  their  ground  school  require- 
ments. 

D.  C.  Stark  is  instructor  for  the 
courses. 


Dr.  Vineyard  Speaks 
At  First  Assembly 


Two  assembly  programs  have  been 
presented  to  the  junior  college  students 
this  year. 

First  of  these  was  held  September  11, 
at  which  Dr.  Jerry  Vineyard,  new  sup- 
erintendent of  schools,  gave  his  intro- 
duction address. 

The  students  also  heard  speeches 
from  Dr.  Frederick  Maier,  who  pre- 
sented the  spiritual  side  of  education; 
and  Gerald  Fetterolf,  representing  the 
students,  who  gave  a  brief  summary  of 
the  school's  organization   and  activities. 

Second  of  these  programs  was  held 
September  18  at  which  Dean  K.  R. 
Galle  presented  rules  and  regulations 
which    the   students   are   to   follow. 


New  Juco  Faculty 
Joins  Student 
3  to  1  Ratio 

The  junior  college  enrollment  ratio 
of  three  males  to  every  female  is  em- 
phasized also  in  the  new  teaching  staff 
of  the  school.  Two  men  have  started 
teaching  courses  here  and  only  one 
woman. 

Miss  Olive  Moore,  new  home  eco- 
nomics instructor  is  the  only  new  fe- 
male teacher.  Miss  Moore  earned  her 
bachelor's  degree  at  the  College  of 
Emporia  and  received  masters  degrees 
from  Emporia  State  Teachers'  college 
and  Kansas  State  college. 

A  medical  WAC  for  six  months,  she 
was  stationed  at  Santa  Fe,  N,  M.,  where 
she  also  taught  at  government  Indian 
schools. 

Though  she  did  not  get  to  "see  the

One  spring  day.  May  28.  1925.  a 
large  white  stork  flew  over  Tahlequah. 
Oklahoma,  dropping  a  bundle  contain- 
ing a  small  pink  baby.  Jim  Ward  was 
the  name  selected  to  bestow  upon  this 
child. 

This  infant  grew  until  he  is  now  a 
young  man  who  is  a  frosh  in  the  Ar- 
kansas City  Junior  College.  He  has 
grown  to  be  5  feet  8  inches  tall,  weighs 
135  pounds,  lias  brown  hair,  green  eyes, 
and  a  grin  that  spells  personality. 

Take  note,  girls,  he's  not  married, 
he's  not  going  steady,  and  his  favorite 
subject  is  women!  !  When  asked  his 
opinion  of  the  new  dress  lengths,  re- 
plied, "Leave  them  like  they  are." 

Jim,  who  has  no  particularly  favorite 
pastime  or  hobby,  works  as  check  room 
boy  at  the  football  field,  since  football 
is   his  favorite  sport. 

"Hamburgers  With"  are  Jim's  fav- 
orite food,  and  his  favorite  juco  subject 
is  aeronautics. 

Afte  finishing  college,  Jim  plans  to 
spend  his  time  as  an  electrical  engineer.  I

Bengals  Strike 
Early  To  Whip 
Chanute 


Scoring  in  the  first  quarter  after  a 
5  2-yard  march,  with  Roy  Hadley  smash- 
ing off  tackle  from  the  7-yard  line,  the 
Arkansas  City  Tigers  won  their  first 
grid  game  of  the  season  over  the  Cha- 
nute Panthers  at  Chanute  last  Friday 
night,   6   to  0. 

The  game  was  replete  with  fumbles 
and  penalties  all  the  way  through.  The 
first  Panther  scoring  threat  came  with 
Chanute  recovering  a  fumble  on  the 
Tiger  8-yard  line.  For  four  downs  the 
Tigers  held  like  a  stone  wall  and  Cha- 
nute  lost    their   chance   to   score. 

In  the  third  quarter  the  Panthers 
again  threatened  by  intercepting  a 
Tiger  pass  on  the  Bengals'  31  yard  line, 
and  powered  to  the  ?>  only  to  lose 
the    ball    on    downs. 

Twice  in  the  fourth  period  Chanute 
muffed  scoring  chances.  A  Tiger  flip 
was  intercepted  deep  in  Bengal  terri- 
tory, but  the  ball  was  lost  on  downs  on 
the  four.  Again  the  Timers  fumbled  on 
their  38  and  Chanute  advanced  the  ball 
to  the  eight   as  the  game  was  over.

Now  in  Progress 


With  the  beginning  of  the  new  school 
year,  the  major  organizations  of  the 
Arkansas  City  Junior  college  have  bare- 
ly  begun    their   activities. 

The  college  chorus  group,  which  is 
predominantly  male,  is  one  of  the  few 
organizations  which  is  in  full  gear.  C. 
L.   Hinchee  directs  the  group. 

Modern  language  classes  will  organ- 
ize a  language  club  under  the  sponsor- 
ship of  Miss  Anne  Hawley.  This  club  is 
meant  to  promote  the  study  of  foreign 
language. 

Also  to  be  organized  are  the  Dinner 
Club  and  the  Christian  Association,  both 
of  which  are  under  the  sponsorship  of 
Miss  Pauline  Sleeth.  The  Christian  As- 
sociation will  study  the  Bible  and  do 
religious    work.  ,,:  i

VOLUME  IV 


ARKANSAS   CITY,   KANSAS,   OCTOBER   9,    1947 


NUMBER  2 


Coronation  To  Be   Junior  _Co!lese  Band 
Under  Direction 


Of  City  Schools 

The  Arkansas  City  schools  will  be 
in  charge  of  the  coronation  program 
for  the  sixteenth  annual  Arkalalah 
celebration. 

Although  the  halloween  festival  was 
discontinued  for  five  years  during  the 
war  and  a  constant  rain  stopped  some 
of  last  year's  plans,  the  schedule  for 
this  year  provides  an  Arkalalah  with 
all  the  pomp  and  glory  of  the  pre-war 
years. 

The  theme  of  the  coronation  program 
will  remain  secret  until  the  evening  of 
i he  crowning  of  Queen  Alalalah  XVI. 
The  city  schools  will  present  the  pro- 
gram following  the  presentation  of  her 
majesty. 

High  school  and  college  chorus 
classes,  under  the  direction  of  C.  L. 
Hinchee,  have  begun  practice  for  their 
musical  contribution.  The  high  school 
band  and  orchestra  will  participate  at 
various  times  during  the  two-day  cele- 
bration. 

In  former  years,  the  queen  has  been 
chosen  from  the  junior  college  sopho- 
more class.  Ten  girls  were  nominated 
for  the  honor  by  a  faculty  committee, 
with  the  final  choice  being  determined 
by  the  ballots  of  approximately  250 
townspeople. 

The  election  remained  secret  from 
all,  including  her  majesty,  until  the 
coronation.  Election  of  the  queen  this 
year  is  expected  to  follow  the  same 
pattern. 

During  the  celebration,  there  will 
be  a  large  parade,  band  drills,  stunts, 
variety  shows,  concessions,  the  queen's 
coronation,    and   dances. 

Invitations  have  been  sent  to  ap- 
proximately 3  5  neighboring  towns  for 
Arkalalah,  the  main  purpose  of  the 
event  being  to  provide  entertainment 
for  Arkansas  Cityans  and  out-of-town 
guests.  Plans  are  underway  for  the 
booster  trip  which  will  be  made  a  few 
days  before   Halloween. 


Howard  Legare  Gives 
Musical  Lyceum 

Mr.  Howard  Legare,  pianist-narrator, 
was  scheduled  to  present  a  musical  pro- 
gram consisting  of  selections  by  Chopin 
and   Liszt  in  a  lyceum   October   8. 

During  the  course  of  the  program,  he 
told  interesting  facts  and  incidents  in 
the  composers'  lives. 

He  is  from  the  Department  of  Con- 
certs and  Lectures  at  the  University  of 
Kansas.  The  university  is  sponsoring 
his   tour. 


For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of 
the  Arkansas  City  Junior  College,  the 
organization  of  a  juco  band  is  under- 
way. 

Backed  by  both  K.  R.  Galle,  dean, 
and  the  student  council,  the  students 
have  signed  a  statement  saying  they 
will  play  in  a  junior  college  band  if 
one  is  organized.  With  approximately 
thirty  having  signed  to  date,  there  is 
still   need   for   more   members. 

An  hour's  credit  is  offered  to  the 
band  members  and  plans  are  to  have 
uniforms  of  some  type  if  the  band  is 
a  success. 

Making   their  first   public  appearance 
as  a  juco  group,  a  few  members  of  the 
band    played    at    the    Coffeyville-Arkan- 
sas    City    game.    October    3.

Cheerleaders  Are 
Selected  By 
Student  Council 

Rebecca  Rine,  sophomore,  was  elect- 
ed head  cheerleader  by  the  student 
council  at  their  first  business  meeting 
September   25. 

Jeri  Acton,  Bebe  Jo  Louderback,  and 
Virginia  Banks,  freshmen,  and  Rose- 
mary Warren,  sophomore,  were  the  new 
cheerleaders  chosen  at  the  same  meet- 
ing. They  made  their  first  appearance 
at  the  pep  assembly  Friday  morning 
'and  again  at  the  game  with  Coffeyville 
that  night. 

Jeri  Acton  asked  that  the  students 
be  reminded  how  much  their  support 
means.  "We  need  everybody's  coopera- 
tion in  yelling  to  raise  the  spirit  of 
ACJC  and  keep  the  morale  of  the  team 
high,"  she  added. 

The  girls  will  wear  black  skirts  and 
white  letter  sweaters  for  awhile,  but 
may   have   new   uniforms   later. 

They  are  working  on  new  yells  and 
are  planning  to  reorganize  some  of  the 
old  standbys. 


Foorball  Squad  is 
Presented  in  Assembly 

Members  of  the  Juco  football  squad 
were  introduced  to  the  students  in  a 
pep  assembly  prior  to  the  Coffeyville 
game.  October  3.  by  Coach  "Bunt" 
Speer. 

A  short  radio  skit  in  imitation  of  the 
Saturday  afternoon  broadcasts  was 
presented  by  Bob  Sneller,  Janell  Estep, 
and  Jimmy  Godfrey. 


First  Juco 
Booster  Club 
Is  Planned 

Peggy  Sullivan  lias  been  elected 
president  of  the  junior  college  booster 
club  which  is  now   under  organization. 

Also  elected  at  the  first  meeting 
were  LaGyne  Hawkins,  vice-president 
and  Dorothy  Haslett,  secretary-treas- 
urer. Lynn  Smith  was  selected  student 
council  representative.  Faculty  sponsor 
for  the  group  is  J.  Kelsey  Day,  science 
teacher. 

This  organization,  the  first  of  its 
kind  in  Arkansas  City  Junior  College, 
is  open  to  all  members  of  the  student 
body  and  not  limited  to  athletics,  its 
purpose  being  the  general  promotion  of 
activities    and    school    prestige. 

The  association  is  not  for  a  cheering 
section,  but  to  arouse  interest  and  pep 
in  all  school  activities.  Also  the  club 
hopes  to  keep  reminding  the  public  of 
their  promise  for  a  new  juco  building. 

Norman  Byers,  chairman,  Francie 
Hines,  Claus  Theisen,  and  Glen  Burns 
will  gather  suggestions  for  the  name 
of  the  club  which  will  be  voted  on  at 
the  next  meeting.  A  special  group  has 
been  chosen  to  nominate  chairmen  of 
the  standing  committees,  consisting  of 
a  decorating,  publicity,  and  a  stunt  com- 
mittee. All  members  will  belong  to  the 
committee  of  their  choice.  The  consti- 
tution committee,  headed  by  Janell 
Estep.  is  composed  of  Dorothy  Haslett, 
Phil  Parker,  James  Godfrey,  and 
James  Heinz. 

With  no  stress  on  the  obligations  of 
the  individual,  the  membership  has 
already  exceeded  fifty  and  students  are 
still  joining  the  rapidly  growing  or- 
ganization. 


Juco  Hour  Broadcasts 
To  Begin  Next  Week 

Juco  Hour  broadcasts,  which  will  be 
presented  every  Thursday  at  4:30  p.  m., 
will  probably  begin  around  October  16, 
according  to  A.  E.  Maag.  program  ad- 
visor. 

"The  radio  group  is  now  working  on 
ideas  for  programs,  which  will  be  so 
interesting  that  people  wili  become  ac- 
customed to  turning  their  dials  to 
KSOK,"   reports   Maag. 

Reason:     Several    of    the    junior    col- 
leges    in     surrounding     towns     will     be 
broadcasting     college     programs     from 
their  local  stations  at  the  same  time. 
— o — 
The  first  junior  college  social  will 
be  held  tomorrow  night  in  the  gym- 
nasium,   immediately    following    the 
game.

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Now  Is  the  Time 
For  a  New  College 


Take  a  look  into  the  future!  Picture 
yourself  either  living  in  Arkansas  City 
or  home  for  a  visit.  While  driving  about 
the  city  you  pass  the  high  school  build- 
ing. 

"There  is  where  I  graduated  from 
high  school  and  junior  college."  you 
say. 

"But  where's  the  college?"  your 
children  ask. 

Yes.  WHERE  is  the  college?  Will 
the  Arkansas  City  Junior  College  still 
be  in  the  basement  of  the  high  school? 
Will  ACJC  still  be  an  "underground 
college?" 

Although  Arkansas  City  voters  ex- 
pressed their  desire  for  a  new  modern 
junior  college,  no  apparent  steps  have 
been   taken   to  erect   the  building. 

Several  sfdes  of  the  issue  are  in  view. 
Let's   take   a   look    at    one. 

Many  desire  to  wait  until  the  ma- 
terial is  cheaper.  This  date  is  not  even 
"guessable."  Meanwhile  students  still 
will  be  confined  to  the  basement  facil- 
ities. According;  to  the  economic  cycle, 
when  prices  are  cheaper  money  will  be 
more  valuable  so  again  we  are  in  a 
vicious  circle.  Prices  may  be  high  now 
but    money   is   of  little   value. 

NOW  is  the  time  to  build  the  junior 
college.  Students  cannot  be  placed  in 
cold  storage  until  prices  are  lowered. 

Already  one  class  will  have  the  dis- 
grace of  graduating  from  "basement 
university."  Unless  action  is  taken 
NOW  the  classes  of  1948.  '49.  '50.  '51 
and  so  on  through  the  years  still  will  be 
in    the   basement. 

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Jack  Bookter.  sophomore,  is  a  new 
member  in  the  halls  of  A.C.J.C,  as  be 
attended  Southwestern  college  in  Win- 
field   during  his  freshman  year. 

JacK  is  studying  to  be  an  accountant. 
When  h»  graduates  from  here  this  year 
he  will  return  to  Southwestern  college 
in  Winl'ield  where  he  will  receive  his 
B.  A.  degree.  After  this  he  will  attend 
Kansas  University  and  become  a  Certi- 
fied    Public  Accountant,  he  hopes. 

Jack  prefers  slow  music  to  jazz. 
Johnny  Mercer  receives  the  high  honor 
of  being  Jack's  most-liked  orchestra. 
with  "I  Wonder  Who's  Kissing  Her 
Now"  as  his  favorite  song.  Incidentally, 
Mr.   Ed   and    Miss  Co-Ed  are  cousins. 


Hello  there  all  you  eager  beavers! 
How's  tricks?   Tricks,    that   is. 

It  seems  as  though  Helen  Owens  got 
caught  in  a  shower  the  other  day — but 
not  of  water.  Someone  seemed  to 
choose  the  moment  that  she  was  stand- 
ing under  a  window  to  empty  the  pencil 
sharpener  over  her  head. 


day  when  lie  bellowed  "Who  killed 
this  bottle?"  He  was  only  trying 
to  find  the  culprit  that  forgot  to 
return  a  pop  bottle  to  the  case, 
hut  it  sure  startled  a  lot  of  people. 


Who  said  that  women  are  the 
only  ones  that  always  follow  the 
style?  It  seems  pretty  evident  that 
men  do  too.  At  least,  that's  the 
only  explanation  that  we  can 
think  of  for  the  beards  and  cowboy 
boots  we  see  making  their  way 
around   the  halls. 


Why  are  all  those  students  carrying 
radios  around  to  class  with  them?  It 
couldn't  be  the  World  Series.  Or  could 
it? 

Filson  Day  seemed  to  have  a 
hard  time  finding  a  word  in  his 
dictionaries  in  rhetoric  the  other 
day.  And  with  two  dictionaries, 
too.  Maybe  it  would  help  if  he 
spelled   the  word   correctly. 


If  anyone  sees  Bruca  Lea  Bradley 
driving  down  the  street  in  her  broad, 
bulging  blue  Buick  he  will  also  see 
a  long  line  of  ardent  admirers  waiting 
tor  their  turn  to  ride  in  her  new 
vehicle. 

How  did  that  smoke  bomb  get 
in  the  engine  of  Jack  Chambers' 
car?  It  didn't  go  off  quite  right, 
did  it  (lay  and  Acton?  Too  had. 

Frank  Crank  seemed  to  get  a  really 
hot,  hot  foot  the  other  day  in  the  club 
rooms.  He  was  grabbing  a  snooze  be- 
tween classes  when  he  suddenly  rose 
off  of  the  chair  in  which  he  reclined. 
When  lie  came  down,  not  just  one 
person  thought  that  the  springs  were 
going   to   break. 

V.  M.  Johnson  practically  caused 
a  riot  in  the  club  rooms  the  other

there  is  between  two  horses,  one 
running  and  one  standing  still." 
Kenny:   "Which  horse  is  running?" 


Well.    kids,    it's    gettin'    late  and    my 

mamma   says   to   get    home,   so  I've   got 

to  be  runnin'   for  now.  So  bye,  we'll  be

Time  for  Arkalalah 
Celebration  Rolls 
Around  0n@@  More 

Again  old  man  time  brings  us  back 
to  October  with  its  golden  leaves,  first 
cool  days,  Haloween,  and  Arkansas 
City's  Arkalalah. 

In  1928.  Arkansas  City  celebrated 
Haloween  for  the  first  time  with  an 
Arkalalah.  The  main  features  were  held 
in  the  Fifth  Avenue  Opera  House,  now 
the  sit?  of  the  new  VFW  building. 

Following  the  first  festival,  for  a 
few  years  the  queen  was  presented  in 
the  Burford,  but  in  1936  the  auditorium 
became  the  home  of  the  coronation. 

Although  the  schools  played  a  small 
part  in  the  first  festivals,  they  have 
since  gained  quite  a  responsibility. 
Grade  schools  have  presented  dance 
numbers,  bands  have  marched,  chorus 
groups  have  sung,  and  this  year  I  lie 
school  has  charge  of  the  coronation. 

Reigning  over  the  celebration  is  a 
queen  chosen  from  the  junior  college 
sophomore  class.  Ten  girls  are  nom- 
inated by  a  faculty  committee  for  the 
honor,  with  the  final  choice  being  de- 
termined by  the  ballots  of  approximate- 
ly   250   townspeople.   No  campaigning  is 


allowed  or  the  individual  is  disquali- 
fied. The  final  choice  remains  secret 
from  all,  including  her  majesty,  until 
the  coronation. 

Former  Arkalalah  queens  were  Mrs. 
Dorothy  Harbaugh,  Mrs.  Elmer  Griffith, 
Mrs.  Jack  Lightstone,  Mrs.  Luther  War- 
ren, Mrs.  Henry  Fox,  Mrs.  Kenton  Col- 
linson,  Mrs.  Malcom  Mills,  Mrs.  Neal 
Shumway,  Mrs.  Donovan  Yost,  Bette 
Brenz,  Mrs.  Tommy  Ladwig.  Mrs.  Lee 
Tucker,  Mrs.  Phil  Lesh.  Mrs.  F.  I. 
Brumback,  and  last  year's  queen,  Betty 
Smith. 

Also  sending  queens  are  approxi- 
mately thirty  neighboring  towns  who 
are  guests  of  the  city  for  the  festival. 

After  a  five  year  lapse  during  the 
war,  Arkansas  Cityans  and  their  guests 
refused  to  let  continuous  rains  hinder 
last  year's  celebration.  Defying  the  wet 
weather,  large  crowds  cheered  the 
parade  as  it  proceeded  down  Summit 
street,  somewhat  smaller  and  less  at- 
tractive because  of  the  water,  but  filled 
wiili    I  lie   festive   spirit. 

A  few  days  preceding  the  two-day 
celebration,  a  large  booster  group  trav- 
els to  the  surrounding  towns,  extending 
invitations  and  arousing  interest  in  the 
Haloween    festival. 

Appropriately  dressed  and  decorated, 
Arkansas  City  will  again  welcome  the 
visiting  crowds  and  be  lost  in  a  world 
of  happiness  and  gaiety  October  30-31.

Varied  Vocational  Preferences 
Selected  by  Juco  Students 


Thomas  Tells  Of 


Those  bright  and  shiny  gadgets  of 
"the  world  of  tomorrow"  are  just 
around  the  corner  if  the  vocational  am- 
bitions of  students  in  the  Arkansas 
City  Junior  College  are  fulfilled.  Thirty- 
four  junior  college  boys  are  studying 
engineering  so  the  rocket  that  takes 
you  to  Mars  may  be  the  result  of  the 
brainstorm  of  one  of  the  Joes  around 
the  halls  of  ACJC.  Those  two  indus- 
trialists, Gerald  Davis  and  Bill  Dowell 
will  be  on  hand  to  help. 

Of  course,  the  idea  needs  selling  and 
the  business  will  need  managers.  With 
an  eye  toward  that  future,  twenty  stu- 
dents are  studying  business;  six  busi- 
ness administration,  and  one,  Richard 
Cullers,  salesmanship.  Neil  Bell,  Tom 
Haney  and  Kenneth  Rhodes  will  have 
charge  of  the  advertising  campaign 
while  Norman  Byers  will  be  the  econ- 
omist in  charge. 

Aspiring   Journalists 

Nine  aspiring  journalists  hope  to  be 
at  the  origination  of  the  trip  to  Mars 
to  "cover  the  story"  or  so  goes  the 
story  in  juco.  Elwood  Keller  and  Bill 
Ramsey  will  be  broadcasting  the  event 
for  the  major  networks. 

Twelve  students  are  going  to  re- 
member their  school  days  (we  hope) 
as  they  begin  their  teaching  careers  to 
educate  the  world  in  the  new  ideas. 
Five  are  majoring  in  physical  educa- 
tion. 

Lawyers  from  our  alma  mater  will 
number  eight,  according  to  their  pres- 
ent plans. 

Farming  is  an  occupation  of  the 
future  that  should  not  be  overlooked, 
although  it  may  require  a  scientist  in 
its  own  field.  Seven  boys  have  chosen 
agriculture  for  their  future  occupation 
and  in  that  same  line  Bob  Koger  is 
planning  to  be  a  livestock  buyer  and 
Richard    Clay'oaker  a   veterinarian. 

Johnny  Wimer  has  stated  geology  as 
his  future  occupation  and  Gerald  Greg- 
ory wishes  to  be  a  horticulturist.  (  Hunt 
up  your  dictionaries  and  you'll  find 
that  he  means  trees!).  In  that  same 
line,  Charles  Laugh  lin  plans  to  be  a 
landscape    architect. 

Turning'  back  to  the  business  field, 
Lura  Sanders  will  be  a  stenographer 
and  five  plan  to  do  accounting.  .Marie 
Chaplin  and  Bernyce  Thomas  will  be 
featuring  the  newest  in  their  interior 
decorating. 

Jack  Miller,  tinner,  and  Vernon 
Brewster  and  Keith  Lewis,  machinists, 
can  contrive  anything  you  want  with 
the  possibilities  of  the  "world  of  to- 
morrow." 

Honiemakers 

With  a  definite  eye  toward  a  home- 
making  future,  six  girls  are  majoring 
in  home  economics  to  be  certain  of  their 
knowledge  of  homemaking  in  the  fu- 
ture. 

Future  scientists  have  varied  fields. 
For  instance,  Virginia  Vaughn  wishes 
to  be  a  nuclear  physicist,  Peggy  Sulli- 
van is  studying  to  be  a  chemist.  E.  A. 
Jacobson    is    majoring    in    Physics    and  ■ 


math,  James  Heinz  and  Dale  Mason, 
science  in  general.  Edward  Galle  is 
majoring  in   physics  research. 

For  painless  pulling  in  the  "world 
of  tomorrow"  see  Bill  Clay  or  Warren 
Kelley,  dentists.  Mike  Justice  and  Don 
Kelley  are  majoring  in  medicine.  Ber- 
neice  Bossi  plans  to  be  a  medical  tech- 
nician and  Cora  Mae  Harris,  a  tech- 
nician. Opal  Bird  will  be  a  logopedics 
instructor. 

In  the  social  service  line  Nadine 
Johnson  plans  to  take  up  professional 
scouting    (girls,    that    is.). 

Elizabeth  Ousley  wants  to  be  a  singer 
while  also  on  the  stage  will  be  John 
Thomas  with  music  and  Duane  Cline 
with  costume  designing. 

Future    Minister 

Directing  the  choir  of  some  church 
will  be  Janell  Estep.  Who  knows,  it 
may  be  in  the  parish  of  Robert  Adams, 
Willard  Harlow,  Filson  Day  or  Bob 
Sneller,  all  future  ministers.  Rebecca 
Rine  plans  to  be  a  church  social  service 
worker. 

Then,  of  course,  there  are  those  65 
students  who  do  not  yet  know  what 
they  will  take  up  to  earn  their  bread 
and    butter. 

You  can  bet  that  any  place  you  live, 
you  will  see  and  hear  of  these  junior 
college  classmates.  (Even  if  it  is  at 
Winfield's    third    hill).

Dr.  Martin  Hall 
Reports  Recent 
European  Tour 

Dr.  Martin  Hall  spoke  to  the  junior 
college  students  September  30  on  in- 
ternational problems  which  he  observed 
during  a  recent  tour  of  eight  European 
countries. 

"Will  European  Countries  Turn  to 
the  American  or  Russian  Way  of  Life?" 
was  the  title  of  Dr.  Hall's  speech, 
which  described  the  economic  and  polit- 
ical situation  in  England,  France, 
Switzerland,  Czechoslovakia,  Poland, 
Norway,    Sweden,   and   Denmark. 

"European  countries,"  according  to 
Dr.  Hall,  "have  only  three  alterna- 
tives." They  can  turn  to  the  American 
way  of  democracy,  to  the  Russian  way 
of  communism,  or  to  a  mixed  societv  of 
both. 

Hall  described  European  crops  as 
"the  worst  in  twenty  years,"  due  to  a 
killing  frost.  "There  will  undoubtedly 
be  famine  in  the  European  countries 
this   winter."   he   reported. 

Dr.  Hall,  who  is  now  an  American 
citizen,  is  a  native  of  Germany.  He  was 
sponsored  by  the  Institute  of  Interna- 
tional Affairs. 


Atom  Tests 
At  Bikini 


Mr.  Bruce  Thomas,  foreign  corre- 
spondent and  lecturer  addressed  the 
combined  high  school  and  junior  college 
student  body  Wednesday,  Sept.  24,  on 
the  atomic  bomb  tests  at  Bikini.  The 
title  of  his  speech  was,  "We  Slammed 
the    Door    on    the    Past." 

Mr.  Thomas  was  the  only  lecturer 
present  at  Bikini.  He  told  the  story  of 
Operations  Crossroads  and  described 
the  scene  and  preparations  for  the 
tests. 

The  first  bomb,  which  exploded  150 
feet  in  the  air  demolished  seven  of  the 
target  ships.  The  second  exploded  4  5 
feet  under  water  and  did  five  times 
the   damage   of   the   first. 

The  third  test  which  was  to  have 
taken  place  this  summer  has  been  in- 
definitely postponed  because  of  Rus- 
sia's objections.  The  Russians  claim 
that  these  tests  appear  to  be  prepara- 
tions for  war. 

Mr.  Thomas  expressed  the  belief, 
however,  that  the  United  States  would 
soon   continue   with    the   experiments. 

He  also  started  that  although  the  war 
is  over,  there  are  still  gangster  nations 
and  we  are  not  living  in  a  Utopian 
world.  It  is  his  belief  that  in  this  age, 
the  only  truly  international  law  is  the 
"Sermon   on    the   Mount." 

In  describing  the  destruction  that 
would  be  involved  in  an  atomic  war,  he 
asked  the  students  to  remember  that 
rifle  bullets  kill  men,  but  atomic  bombs 
kill  cities.

Parsons  Cards 
Smear  Tigers 
In  Early  Attack 

In  their  second  conference  game  of 
the  season  the  Tigers  lost  to  the  under- 
rated Parsons  Cardinals.  14  to  0,  at 
Parsons,  Sept.   26. 

The  Cardinals  out-charged  and  out- 
played the  Tigers  all  the  way.  Early 
in  the  first  quarter  Jim  O'Neal,  Parsons 
halfback,  who  paced  the  Cards  all  the 
way,  intercepted  a  pass  from  George 
Ward  on  the  Card  35-yard  line  and  ran 
T < >  yards  behind  beautiful  interference 
for  the  first  touchdown.  Ellis,  Parsons 
quarterback,  kicked  the  extra  point. 

The  hen  gals'  chance  came  when 
Brady  recovered  a  Card  fumble  on  their 
33.  On  the  next  play  the  Tigers  dropped 
tlie  ball  or  the  29  and  Parsons  recover- 
ed. With  Bray.  Parsons  fullback,  and 
Don  Smith,  halfback,  running  the  ball, 
the  Cards  marched  71  yards  for  their 
second  touchdown  of  the  first  half.  El- 
lis  kicked   the  extra   point. 

In  t lie  second  half  the  Cards  held  the 
Tigers  scoreless  by  charging  the  line, 
often  taking  the  Tigers  for  a  loss  be- 
hind the  scrimmage  line.  The  Tigers' 
George  Ward  and  Parsons'  Smith  car- 
ried on  a  punting  duel  for  most  of  the 
half,  with  the  Cards  in  possession  of  the 
ball  on  the  Tiger  2  2  as  the  game  ended. 

The  Tigers  ran  the  ball  for  more  first 
downs,  although  the  Cards'  runs  were 
longer. 

Ark  City  starters  were  Brady,  Quim- 
by.  Templar,  Coker,  D.  Hearne,  Mc- 
Cutcheon,  Chaplin,  George  Ward,  Had- 
ley,   Taton,   Charles   Ward. 

Ark  City  subs  were  Larkin,  Daniel, 
Porch,  Squyres,  Berry,  Gilstrap,  Gard- 
ner, Glasgow  and  Keith  Hearne. 

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

Miss  Co-Ed  for  this  week  is  Cora  Mae 
(commonly  called  "Corky")  Harris. 
She  is  a  newcomer  to  these  parts  as  she 
hails  from  Newkirk.  Okla.,  where  she 
was  very  active  in  high  school  activ- 
ities. 

Disputing  the  previous  statement 
that  Corky  is  a  newcomer  we  find  that 
this  5  feet  3  inch  lass  was  born  in  Ar- 
kansas  City   August    10,    1929. 

Among  her  likes  she  is  partial  to 
orchids,  the  song  "Guilty,"  and  all  of 
Stan    Kenton's   jazz   pieces. 

Corky,  like  all  girls,  has  her  version 
of  the  perfect  man."  He'll  lie  6  feet 
tall,  have  a  wonderful  physique,  black 
wavy  hair  and  blue  eyes.  So  if  anyone 
sees  this  type  of  man  running  around 
loose    please    le||    Corky. 

She  ioves  to  sing  as  a  hobby  and  is 
studying  to  be  a  stenographer.  Next 
year  she  will  continue  her  courses  here 
and  is  undecided  about  what  college 
she  will  attend  upon  graduation  from 
A..C.J.C. 

Dan  Stark  was  in  Missouri  last  week 
to    attend    his    brother's    funeral. 


Haslett,  Rahn  Win 
State  Fair  Honors 


Dorothy  Haslett  and  Georgia  Ann 
Rahn,  freshmen,  spent  a  week  in  Hutch- 
inson. Kas.,  attending  the  Kansas  State 
Fair.  The  event  started  September  13 
and  continued  through  September  3  0. 

Georgia  Ann  entered  a  complete  cos- 
tume in  the  contest  and  received  a 
white  ribbon  as  it  was  classified  in  the 
third   division. 

Dorothy  entered  "Food  for  a  Meal" 
and  won  first  division  placement  which 
was  a   blue   rbbon. 

Dorothy  was  on  the  inspection  com- 
mittee in  the  dormitories  and  was 
chairman  of  her  group. 

Both  girls  entered  a  contest  in  which 
they  demonstrated  how  to  care  for  the 
hair.  The  results  on  this  entry  have 
not  been  received. 

The  girls  quartered  at  the  4-H  en- 
campment building  which  was  located 
on   the   fair  grounds. 

The  4-H  members  present  at  the  fair 
were  taken  on  a  educational  trip 
through  the  boys  reformatory  in  Hutch- 
inson. 

For  entertainment  the  group  attend- 
ed movies  and  also  a  grandstand  show 
which  was  provided  for  their  enjoy- 
ment. 

Bengals  Defeat 
Coffeyville 
Ravens  7-0 

A  sterling  defensive  stand  by  deter- 
mined Tiger  linemen  and  backs  gave 
sweet  revenge  to  Arkansas  City  grid 
fans  Friday  night,  as  the  Bengals  scored 
early  to  dump  the  potent  Coffeyville 
Red  Ravens,  7  to  0,  on  Curry  Field. 

Tiger  recoveries  of  two  Raven  fum- 
bles deep  in  Coffeyville  territory  in  the 
initial  stanza  gave  the  locals  the  op- 
portunity they  sought,  and  they  struck 
through  the  air  to  score  the  game's 
only  counter.  Oddly  enough,  and  though 
the  victory  was  deserved,  the  touch- 
down would  have  been  nullified  had  the 
officials  ruled  correctly.  A  pass  from 
Grinnell  bounced  away  from  Chaplin 
into  the  waiting  arms  of  Taton,  without 
being  touched  by  a  Coffeyville  player. 
It  was  illegal,  but  it's  in  the  books  now. 
Farnsworth    kicked   the   point. 

The  Ravens  unleashed  a  smashing  at- 
tack, with  Fullback  Mace  bearing  the 
brunt  of  the  carrying  duties,  to  pile  up 
a  lead  of  11  first  downs  to  2  for  the 
Tigers,  but  the  Bengal  defense  was 
sufficient  when  the  Chips  were  down, 
and  the  big  Red  team  did  penetrate1 
the  Tiger  10-yard  line,  though  local 
fans  sighed  with  relief  when  the  half- 
time  whistle  blew,  and  again  in  the 
third  quarter  when  the  Speermen  took 
over  the  ball  on  downs  on  their  own 
14. 

Arkansas  City  starters  included  Chap- 


Dragons  Invade 
Tiger  Lair  For 
Crucial  Game 

One  of  the  largest  crowds  in  local 
junior  college  football  history  is  ex- 
pected to  jam  Curry  Field  tomorrow 
night  when  the  power-laden  Hutchinson 
Blue  Dragons  clash  with  Coach  "Bunt" 
Speer's  Tigers,  still  hot  from  last  Fri- 
day's thrilling  upset  of  the  vaunted 
Coffeyville    Red    Ravens. 

The  Blue  Dragons,  packed  with  stars 
from  Norval  Neve's  dazzling  high  school 
powerhouse  of  the  past  few  seasons, 
will  roar  into  Ark  City  in  an  attempt  to 
bowl  over  the  Tigers  in  their  march 
on  the  conference  title.  Hutchinson, 
rated  as  the  team  to  beat  for  the  Kan- 
sas crown  by  many  experts,  lived  up  to 
all  advance  dope  while  blasting  Dodge 
City  last  week  bv  the  amazing  score  of 
5  7    to    0. 

After  downing  the  Red  Ravens,  7 
to  0,  for  their  second  conference  win 
in  three  starts,  Arkansas  City  will  be 
rarin'  to  score  another  upset  win.  A 
victory  over  Hutchinson  will  throw  the 
Arks  into  the  thick  of  the  champion- 
ship battle  in  the  strongest  competition 
in  the  conference  history. 

With  Earl  Grinnell,  star  quarterback 
of  last  year's  strong  Tiger  eleven,  back 
in  the  Bengal  lineup,  the  Tigers  may 
have  received  the  needed  offensive 
spark  which  they  lacked  in  their  first 
two  contests  this  year.  It  was  Grinnell 
who  ran  a  kickoff  back  100  yards 
while  pacing  the  Speermen  to  a  37  to 
2  4  win  over  Hutchinson  in  last  year's 
high-scoring  thriller.  Grinnell's  100- 
yard  touchdown  jaunt  tied  for  first 
among  all  college  players  in  the  nation 
for    1 94 H    in    that    department. 

On  October  17,  the  Tigers  will  travel 
to  Pratt  lor  a  game  with  the  Beavers, 
the  heaviest  team  in  the  western  con- 
ference. The  Arks  will  be  slight  fav- 
orites in  this  clash,  although  Pratt  will 
have  the  advantage  of  the  home  field. 
The  Tigers  trounced  the  Beavers,  33  to 
0,  last  season  at  Curry  Field. 

All  in  all,  it  looks  like  tomorrow 
night's  battle  with  Hutchinson  will  de- 
cide the  Tigers'  title  hopes.  If  the  Arks 
can  get  past  the  Dragons,  their  next 
big  game  will  not  be  until  Nov.  7,  when 
they  go  to  Independence.  After  Hutch- 
inson, it  will  be  Pratt,  Tonkawa,  and 
Dodge  City  on  successive  week-ends 
with  the  Tigers  favored  to  cop  all 
three.  The  Tonkawa  game  will  be  a 
non-league  fracas.

Queen  Alalah 
To  Be  Crowned 
Next  Thursday 

Queen  Alalah  is  here! 

Yes,  her  majesty  is  in  the  halls  of 
ACJC  and  who  knows,  you  may  be 
talking  with  her  now!  Some  sophomore 
girl  will  be  crowned  Queen  Alalah  XVI 
just  a  week  from  tonight,  by  Jimmy 
Turner,  president  of  the  student  coun- 
cil. 

The  junior  college  has  a  major  roll 
in  the  city's  annual  Arkalalah  celebra- 
tion, from  the  most  inconspicious  dan- 
cer to  her  royal  highness.  The  program 
is  again  under  the  direction  of  the  city 
schools  with  Dr.  Jerry  J.  Vineyard, 
new  superintendent  of  schools,  co-chair- 
man  of  the  celebration. 

The  sophomore  belle  will  be  crowned 
at  the  opening  of  the  festivities,  the 
coronation  program,  the  theme  of  which 
will  remain  secret  like  the  identity  of 
the  queen. 

Mike  Justice,  sophomore,  Cora  Mae 
Harris,  freshman,  and  Barry  McGuire, 
high  school  senior,  will  be  masters  and 
mistress  of  ceremonies  for  the  various 
portions  of  the  program.  The  junior 
college  chorus  will  combine  with  the 
high  school  chorus  for  their  part  of  the 
project. 

Secret  Theuie 

The  theme  of  the  program  will  be 
of  the  most  up-to-date  topics  of  discus- 
sion and  will  provide  suspense,  sur- 
prise and   entertainment  for  all. 

Queen  Alalah  XVI  will  wear  a  new 
gown  and  crown  but  their  design  will 
also  be  kept  secret.  The  election,  as  in 
former  years,  will  remain  secret  from 
all,  including  her  majesty,  and  will  be 
revealed  when  she  dons  the  new  gown. 

Ballots  bearing  the  names  of  the  can- 
didates are  now  among  the  townspeople, 
who  will  make  the  final  choice.  The 
faculty  has  placed  seven  names  on  the 
ballot.  For  the  first  time,  the  distribu- 
tor of  the  ballots  will  have  pictures  of 
the  nominees  to  enable  voters  to  make 
their  choice  more  easily. 

This  year  there  are  only  twelve  single 
sophomore  girls  whose  names  would  be 
eligible  for  consideration  for  nomina- 
tion. They  include  Alice  Craft,  Ethel 
Harvey,  Francie  Heinz,  Nadine  John- 
son, Betty  Ann  Oliver,  Elizabeth  Ous- 
ley,  Mary  K.  Peterson,  Rebecca  Rine. 
Peggy  Sullivan,  Virginia  Vaughn,  Rose- 
mary Warren  and  June  Work. 

Yes,  Queen  Alalah  is  amongst  us! 
Who  is  she?  We'll  all  find  out  a  week 
from  tonight!

They  Wondered  Too — 
Will  We  Have 
A  Juco  Building? 

Questions  of  importance  to  juco  stu- 
dents today  are  not  all  new,  many 
have  been  carried  over  from  year  to 
year.  For  example,  the  construction  of 
a  new  junior  college  building  has  long 
been  debated  and  worked  for. 

In  looking  through  some  old  records 
and  files,  an  article  written  in  1946 
has  been  uncovered  containing  many  of 
the  current  questions  and  statements 
in  regard  to  the  new  school.  This  ar- 
ticle was  written  by  Helen  Jane  Beat- 
son  who  graduated  from  the  Arkansas 
City  junior  college.  Selections  from  her 
writing  read: 

"This  communities  most  powerful 
asset  today  is  her  junior  college.  At  a 
time  when  the  universities  and  four- 
year  colleges  of  the  nation  are  filled  to 
capacity,  the  junior  college  of  the  small 
community  is  the  obvious  solution  to 
the  greatest  educational  problem  in  the 
country's  history.  With  their  staffs 
and  accomodations  overtaxed,  univer- 
sities and  colleges  are  daily  refusing  ad- 
mittance to  hundreds  of  students,  in- 
cluding veterans.  This  fact  is  rapidly 
bringing  the  junior  college  of  the  small 
community  into  its  own. 

The  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
under  present  conditions  is  inadequate 
to  accomodate  the  situation.  It  is  above 
all  else  unattractive  to  prospective  stu- 
dents. In  all  its  history  the  college  has 
been  not  a  sign  of  progress  for  its  stu- 
dents but  merely  a  step  down  from  the 
high  school.  The  high  school  has  too 
long  stood  in  the  limelight  casting  its 
shadow  on  every  project  undertaken  by 
the  college." 

The  people  voted  in  favor  of  a  new 
building  last  year  and  the  site  of  the 
old  Monroe  Hotel  was  chosen  for  the 
building  of  the  new  college. 

This  is  Arkansas  City's  chance  to 
take  a  big  step  forward.  In  conclusion, 
she  stated,  "With  the  advent  of  new 
students   under   the   veterans'    program. 


Language  Clubs 
Hold  Meetings; 
Select  Nominees 

The  junior  college  French  Club  held 
its  first  meeting  of  the  school  year  in 
the  junior  college  club  room  October 
15   at   7   p.   m. 

The  nominating  committee,  chosen 
by  the  group,  included  Norman  Byers, 
Jeanne  Smith,  Berneice  Bossi  and 
Ernest    Day. 

Nominated  are  Jeanne  Smith  and 
Elwood  Keller  for  president,  Barbara 
Williams  and  Ann  Rochl  for  vice- 
president,  Nadine  Johnson  and  Jeri 
Acton  for  secretary-treasurer  and  Edna 
Robson  and  Jim  Austin  for  reporter. 

The  program  consisted  of  singing 
French  songs,  playing  a  game  in 
French,    and    French    conversation. 

The  next  meeting  will  be  held  Oc- 
tober 29,  at  which  time  officers  will 
be  elected. 

The  first  meetings  of  the  German 
and  Spanish  language  clubs  were 
scheduled  for  Wednesday  evening, 
October   2  2,  in  the  college  club  rooms. 

Because  of  the  nine  weeks  exams 
being  given  this  week,  the  clubs  met 
for  only  30  minute  sessions.  The  Ger- 
man students  convened  at  7  p.  m. 
followed  by  the  Spanish  students  at 
7:30   p.    m. 

Tentative  plans  for  the  evening  were 
the  selection  of  nominating  commit- 
tees to  select  candidates  for  club  of- 
ficers. 

Miss  Anne  Hawley,  language  instruc- 
tor,   sponsors    the    groups.

Motion  Picture 
Shown  In  Assembly 

A  motion  picture,  "2  6  Old  Char- 
acters," the  history  of  the  alphabet 
was  the  main  feature  of  a  junior  col- 
lege assembly   last   Thursday   morning. 

The  picture  was  of  interest  to  all 
classes  and  was  particularly  important 
to    language    students. 

■ o ■ 

Approximately  75  Tonkawa  fans  will 
be  at  Curry  Field  for  the  game  to- 
morrow night,  according  to  a  letter 
from  the  editor  of  their  junior  college 
paper. 


together  with  the  fact  that  the  business 
world  is  generally  demanding  college 
educations,  the  Arkansas  City  Junior 
College  is  being  offered  an  opportunity 
to  emerge  from  its  present  status  of  in- 
significance to  its  rightful  position  as  a 
progressive  and  important  community 
project."

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Let's  Help  Make 
Arkalalah  a  Success 

When  Halloween  is  mentioned,  we 
immediately  think  of  funny  faces,  cos- 
tumes, pumpkins,  parties,  spooks,  mys- 
tery, and  the  joy  of  bobbing  for  apples. 
But  to  a  few,  Halloween  is  a  good  ex- 
cuse for  tearing  down  property  that  be- 
longs to  others — this  is  not  what  Hal- 
loween is  celebrated  for. 

Next  week  we  will  be  entertaining  in 
Arkansas  City,  many  visitors  and  guests 
from  various  neighboring  towns  and 
communities.  Not  only  is  it  our  duty 
to  welcome  and  show  theso  people  a 
good  time,  but  also  to  refrain  from 
tearing  down  someone's  work  or  mak- 
ing unnecessary  labor  lor  housewives 
or  businessmen. 

Arkalalah  is  for  OUR  enjoyment — 
not  just  mine  or  yours,  but  for  every- 
one. Let's  make  it  that  way — a  good 
time  for  all.  With  cooperation  from 
everyone,  especially  the  students,  Ar- 
kansas City's  Arkalalah  can  be  a  great 
success,  a  celebration  that  will  be  re- 
membered and  looked  forward  to  more 
than  any  other  in  the  community. 

Our  hospitality  and  friendship  will 
not  only  bring  the  visitors  back  next 
year,  but  we  will  have  their  interest, 
support,  and  trade,  things  that  will 
make  a  town  a  city. 

Brush  Piles  Make 
Debut  In  Local  Juco 

Just  as  the  fashion  world  for  women 
lis:  been  a  topic  of  interest  in  regards 
to  the  subject  of  longer  skirls,  the  ■  ub- 
ject  of  over-grown  five  o'clock  shadows 
seen  in  (he  halls  of  ACJC  might  well  be 
another  point  of  discussion. 

From  a  glimpse  of  the  halls,  one 
might  at  first  think  that  Ole  Man  Mose 
is  going  to  run  up  against  more  com- 
petitors (or  have  you  read  Lil'  Abner 
lately?)  Some  of  these  beards,  mus- 
taches, and  sideburns  have  been 
trimmed  a  little  here  or  shaved  a  little 
there  to  produce  some  novel,  if  not 
startling,  effects. 

A  few  of  the  fellows  sporting  "brush 
piles"  are  Bud  Harp.  Joe  Avery,  Charles 
Tanner,  Filson  Day,  and  Jack  Miller. 

Gee!  It  must  be  wonderful  to  get 
your  chin  scratched  every  time  you 
kiss  a  fellow  with  a   beard. 


Hi  guys  and  gals!  Having  trouble 
with  all  those  exams?  Well,  we'll  try 
to  take  your  minds  off  such  things 
by  revealing  some  of  the  dirt  that  has 
been  flying  our  way  this  week. 

*  *    *    * 

At  this  point  perhaps  we  should  toss 
a  bouquet  to  the  football  team  for  the 
swell  games  they've  been  playing.  Keep 
up  the  good  work  fellas! 

*  *    *    * 

Also  a  round  of  applause  should  go 
to  the  social  committee  for  the  grand 
party  last  week. 

*  *    *    * 

"For  Sentimental  Reasons"  people 
usually  remember  the  color  of  a  per- 
sons eyes,  the  kind  of  perfume  they 
wear  or  the  wrinkling  of  one's  nose, 
but  among  those  who  seem  to  be  less 
observant  of  such  invisible  character- 
istics are  Bill  Mitchell  who  remembers 
the  shapes  of  peoples  heads,  Bebe  Jo 
Louderback  who  remembers  the  ail- 
ments of  people  and  quotes  prescrip- 
tions to  cure  them,  Virginia  Banks  who 
recalls  that  a  certain  person's  insurance 
isn't  paid  up.  and  Edna  Robson  who 
remembers  what  was  turned  into  the 
Traveler  about  someone  and  which  was 
unprintable. 

Have  you  heard????? 

Jack  Chambers  has  to  put  mascara 
on  his  side  burns  so  that  they  won't  be 
entirely  invisible. 

Bud  Chapain's  new  limousine  will  ac- 
tually go  3  5  niph  under  certain  condi- 
tions! These  conditions  are  good 
weather,  a  smooth  road,  not  more  than 


one  person  in  tne  car  and  the  accelera- 
tor must  be  pressed  entirely  flat  on 
the   floor  board. 

Bernyce  Bossi  and  Patsy  Sheldon  are 
planning  on  taking  up  table  tennis  as 
a  five  hour  subject. 

As  you  all  know  the  name  for  the 
booster  club  has  not  yet  been  decided 
upon.  If  anyone  has  any  bright  ideas, 
let  them  be  known  so  we  can  publicize 
this  organization   on   a  large  basis! 

Quoting  Mr.  Stark: 

"If  I  don't  get  this  mixture  just 
right  it  will  blow  us  all  to  kingdom 
come.  I  want  you  boys  on  the  back 
row    to    move    up    closer    so    you    can 

follow  me." 

*  *    *    * 

Look!  Up  in  the  air!  Is  it  a  bird? 
Is  it  a  plane?  No!  It's  Betty  Ann  Oliver 
and  Glenn  Burns  all  excited  about  their 
engagement  and  approaching  marriage. 
Congratulations,    kids! 

Lynn  Smith  is  very  good  at  drawing 
his  own  conclusions  from  certain  sen- 
tences in  English  Literature  class.  The 
sentence  read,  "The  suitors  were  bring- 
ing about  a  disagreement  with  the 
maids  in  the  hall".  When  Miss  Sleeth 
called  on  Lynn  to  translate  the  sen- 
tence, he  replied:  "The  old  guys  were 
kicking   up   a   rumpus   with   the   gals   in 

the  room." 

*  *    *    * 

Well,  this  is  all  for  now,  but  don't 
forget  the  little  news  box  in  the  club 
rooms  next  week. 


Got  a  Gripe? 
Tell  It  to  the  Editor 

Hear    Editor, 

Last  week  a  bus  was  chartered  for 
the  ACJC  students  to  travel  to  Pratt, 
Kansas,  to  see  our  football  team  play 
a  wonderful  game.  Since  there  were 
Hit  seats  available  on  the  bus  it  was 
< » i i I >  natural  that  :5:i  students  should 
be  expected  to  o,  and  even  more  than 
that  because  most  students  with  the 
least  bit  of  school  enthusiasm,  would 
be  more  thin  over-joyed  at  having  a 
chance  to  so.  By  Thursday  night  nine 
students  had  signed  up  to  go  on  the 
bus.   Nautrally  it   was  not  taken. 

Now  comes  the  question,  where  was 
all  of  our  school  spirit? 

The  deal  about  chartering  the  bus 
to  Pratt  was  only  one  of  the  ways  in 
which  the  students  have  displayed  their 
school  enthusiasm.  We  should  so  all 
out  for  school  activities,  become  inter- 
ested in  whatever  project  the  school 
undertakes,  cheer  for  our  football  team, 
ami  back  the  boys  on  tin-  team  one  hun- 
dred per  cent.  As  anyone  can  plainly  see 
we  could  all  stand  to  have  more  pep. 
.lust  because  we  arc  in  college  is  not 
reason  for  loosing  our  initiative.  We 
should  really  he  more  enthusiastic  in 
order  to  show  the  high  school  that  we 


haven't    become    decrepted    in    the    last 
few  years. 

Yelling  for  the  team  is  part  of  the 
patriotism  that  comes  from  being  in- 
dividual and  being  able  to  say  what  we 
want  even  if  it's  jeering  the  referee. 
At  least  that  would  show  that  we  hart 
an    interest    in    what    is   going   on. 

We've  all  got  the  vim,  vigor  and  vi- 
tality if  we  just   use  it. 

We  don't  want  ACJC  to  be  known 
as  "spiritless"  do  we?  No!  So  this  Fri- 
day night  let's  show  the  Tonkawa  Mav- 
ericks and  their  boosters  that  the  Ti- 
ger boosters  have  really  and  truly  got 
pep  by  sitting  in  a  group  at  the  game 
and  cheering  for  all  we're  worth!

A  program  of  classical  music,  com- 
bined with  stories  of  the  comnosers' 
lives  was  presented  to  the  students 
and  faculty  of  the  junior  college  Oct. 
8    by   Howard   Legare,    pianist-narrator. 


Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 


Everytime  you  walk  into  the  juco 
office,  you  encounter  a  dark  haired, 
five  foot  and  six  inch,  brown-eyed,  at- 
tractive young  lady.  This  fair  damsel  of 
whom  we  speak  is  none  othe:'  than 
Doris   Deets. 

Doris  was  born  in  Portland,  Kansas, 
a  small  town  only  16  miles  west  of  Ar- 
kansas City,  on  the  17  of  March,  1928. 
Although  her  home  is  in  Dexter,  Doris 
and  a  friend,  Bonnie  Wood,  have  a  cute 
apartment  in  Arkansas  City  where  they 
stay  during  the  week.  Many  week-ends 
find  Doris  and  Bonnie  in  Dexter. 

Reading  is  Doris'  favorite  pastime 
and  basketball  tops  her  list  of  juco 
games.  Music  being  another  of  her 
weaknesses,  she  has  no  particularly  fa- 
vorite piece  but  likes  them  all.  Her  pet 
peeve  is  to  be  called  an  "old  maid." 
After  all,  who's  an  old  maid  at  19? 

Dexter  will  feature 
queen  for  the  coming 
bration. 

Doris,  because  of  her  outstanding  per- 
sonality and  ambition,  graduated 
among  the  "top"  of  the  juco  class  last 
year.  Liking  this  type  of  work,  she  has 
been  employed  in  the  junior  college  of- 
fice for  quite  some  time.

ACJC  TIGER  TALES 


October    23,    1947 


Arks  Tumble 
Beavers  By 
Single  Point 

A  fourth  quarter  rally  enabled  the 
Tigers  of  ACJC  to  grind  out  a  20  to 
19  victory  over  the  Pratt  Junior  Col- 
lege Beavers  at  Pratt  Friday  night 
in  their  closest  decision  of  the  current 
grid    season. 

Pratt  was  leading  19  to  13  when 
One-Man-Gang  Charlie  Ward  took 
over.  The  Ark  fullback  plunged  alid 
scrambled  to  gains  on  six  of  the  seven 
plays  needed  to  advance  from  th 
Ark  30  to  pay  dirt,  and  a  pass,  Grin- 
nell  to  Brady,  provided  the  conversion 
for  the  single-point  margin.  A  pass 
interception  by  Jim  McCormick  stop- 
ped the  final  flurry  as  Pratt  desperate- 
ly  tried   to   regain    the    lead. 

Two  drives  were  necessary  to  couni 
the  original  Tiger  touchdown,  a  fumble 
on  the  Beaver  two-yard  line  nullifying 
the  first  attempt,  and  Grinnell  flip- 
ping to  Porch  on  the  second,  an  i 
yard  negotiation.  The  Westerners  re- 
taliated via  the  air  and  a  two-yard 
plunge  to  even  it  up.  Pratt  converter 
to    lead. 

Grinnell  ambled  25  yards  to  cap 
another  7  0-yard  march  for  the  Tigers, 
and  then  passed  to  Chaplin  for  th 
point.  Ernie  Taton  breezed  for  80 
yards  and  a  third  score,  but  a  Bengal 
offside  penalty  erased  that  one.  Just 
before  the  half  ended  the  Beavers 
scored  on  a  pass  and  lateral  to  Gil- 
more,  who  sprinted  from  midfield  to 
score. 

The  Beavers  got  their  final  counter 
on  a  pass  interference  ruling  which 
gave  them  the  ball  on  the  Tiger  4, 
plus  a  couple  of  plunges.  That  roused 
Ward's  dander,  and  he  went  to  work,

Hutch  Dragons 
Outclass  Bengals 
To  Win  27-13 

The  Blue  Dragons  of  Hutchinson  in- 
vaded Arkansas  City  October  10  and 
swept  the  local  Bengals  off  their  feet 
with  a  blaze  of  blinding  speed  to  thi 
tune  of  27  to  13.  The  Tigers  were  out- 
classed all  the  way.  Hutchinson,  which 
undoubtedly  has  the  fastest  team  ii 
the  conference,  also  showed  bewilder- 
ing  deception   in   their  running   plays. 

In  the  first  quarter,  the  Speermen 
made  a  game  battle  of  it  until  Ear1 
Grinnell,  quarterback,  was  taken  out 
with  a  hip  injury,  not  to  return  until 
the  final  quarter.  Bill  Walz,  225- 
pound  guard,  also  was  out  in  the 
first    quarter. 

The  Tiger's  first  touchdown  came 
when  Mark  Porch.  Tiger  back,  re- 
covered a  dragon  fumble  in  the  end 
zone.  McCutcheon's  kick  was  good. 
Hutchinson  had  previously  scored 
when  Hooper,  Dragon  quarter,  ran  41 
yards  on  a  fast  sweep.  Nevius  place- 
kicked   for    the    extra    point. 

Tiger  forwards  ended  two  scoring 
threats  by  getting  the  ball  on  downs 
on  their  10-yard  stripe.  Hutchinson 
then  scored  on  a  70-yard  march,  with 
Nevius  kicking  the  extra  point  again. 
A  fumble  by  Charles  Ward  on  the 
Tiger  24  gave  the  Dragons  their  next 
opportunity  to  score.  Hooper  went  over 
through  the  middle  of  the  line,  then 
Nevius  connected  again  to  bring  the 
score  21  to  7.  In  the  third  quarter, 
on  a  pass  to  Wilson  who  lateraled 
to  Koontz,  the  Dragons  scored  again. 
This   time   Nevius'   toe   failed. 

K.  Hearne  recovered  a  Dragon  fum- 
ble in  the  final  stanza  and  Grinnell 
came  back  to  start  passes  clicking. 
One  to  Brady  went  for  32  yards,  and 
then  to  Brady  again  for  12.  On  a  pass 
bouncing  out  of  the  hands  of  a  Dragon 
back  and  into  Keith  Hearne's  arms 
in  the  end  zone,  the  Speermen  scored 
again     for    a     27-13     final     score.     Th 


Tigers  Tangle 
With  Mavericks 
Tomorrow  Night 

The  Tigers  have  only  five  remaining 
games  of  the  current  grid  season.  In 
the  next  fortnight  they  will  meet 
Tonkawa  on  October  24  here,  and  the 
Dodge  City  Conquistadors,  October  31. 
there. 

The  Tonkawa  Mavericks  will  bring 
six  lettermen,  one  lineman  and  five 
backs  from  last  year's  team,  which 
defeated  the  Tigers  12  to  6.  While 
this  year  Tonkawa  lost  to  the  Hutch- 
inson Dragons  20  to  13  in  their  open- 
er,   the    Bengals    lost    27    to    13. 

Tonkawa  players  include  speedy  Bert 
Gray,  pass-slinger  Floyd  Schardlin,  and 
the  driving  Don  Garden  who  sparked 
the  Mavericks  at  Hutchinson.  The  Ton- 
kawa line  and  backfield  run  the  same 
weight    as    the    Bengals. 

The  Speermen  will  be  out  to  avenge 
last  year's  loss  to  the  Mavericks  by 
showing  the  power  and  fierce  tackling 
they    displayed    against    Coffeyville. 

Following  the  Tonkawa  game,  the 
Tigers  will  journey  to  Dodge  City, 
where  they  will  play  against  the  Con- 
quistadors, who  lost  early  in  the  sea- 
son to  Hutchinson  5  2  to  0  and  to 
Sterling  tj  to  0.  The  Bengals  wiii  oe 
fighting  to  stay  in  that  conference 
tussle.

For  the  first  few  weeks  the  girls

Rebecca  Rine 
Reigns  As 
Queen  Alaiah 

Rebecca  Rine,  sophomore,  began  her 
two-day  holiday  rule  Thursday  evening 
amid  an  "awetomic"  blast  which  si- 
lenced to  reveal  her  as  Queen  Alaiah 
XVI.  Informed  of  the  honor  by  Dr. 
Jerry  J.  Vineyard,  superintendent  of 
schools  and  co-chairman  of  the  cele- 
bration, just  25  minutes  before  her 
coronation,  Becky  donned  the  new 
satin  queen's  gown  and  prepared  for  a 
debut  before  an  overflowing  auditorium 
capacity  of  3200. 

Peggy  Sullivan,  Rosemary  Warren, 
Betty  Ann  Oliver  and  Nadine  Johnson, 
the  other  highest  ranking  candidates 
were  her  attendants.  Queens  from  18 
visiting  towns  were  also  in  Queen 
Alalah's  court. 

Jimmy  Turner,  president  of  the 
junior  college  student  council,  crowned 
her  majesty  and  presented  her  with  her 
ruling  scepter  and  her  large  bouquet  of 
autumn    flowers. 

The  program  arranged  for  Queen 
Alaiah  had  the  theme  of  "Arkalal-ic 
Frolic  of  1947"  and  was  arranged  by 
A.  E.  Maag,  assisted  by  other  facility 
members.  It  was  divided  into  three 
parts,  "Awe-tomic  Prelude,"  "Autumn- 
ic  Fantasy"  and  "Ark  Civic  Pride."  The 
sub-divisions  of  the  parts  spelled 
"Alaiah  Forty  Seven."  The  autumn 
theme  of  Halloween  was  carried  out 
during  the  entire  program. 

Mike  Justice,  sophomore,  was  master 
of  ceremonies  for  the  first  section.  Cora 
Mae  Harris,  freshman,  was  mistress  of 
ceremonies  for  the  second  part  and 
Barry  McGuire,  high  school  senior,  was 
master  of  ceremonies  for  the  third  por- 
tion. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  third 
part  was  a  pantomime  presented  by 
Janell  Estep,  Kenneth  Rhodes,  Bob 
Sneller,  Anne  Hoehl  and  Bebe  Jo  Loud- 
erback,  assisted  by  the  chorus,  orches- 
tra and  band.  The  junior  college-high 
school  combined  chorus  sang  several 
numbers  fo  rthe  program. 

Following  the  program,  the  Queen's 
Ball  was  held  in  the  auditorium  with 
Bonner  Ruff  and  his  Noted  Men  pro- 
viding the  music  with  Cora  Mae  Harris 
as  vocalist.  Again  Queen  Alaiah  took 
the  spotlight. 

The  Arkalalah  parade  which  featured 
Queen  Alaiah  XVI  on  her  float's  throne, 
followed  a  luncheon.  The  parade  was 
an  hour  long  and  five  miles  in  length. 
Spectators  numbered  over  25,000  or 
approximately  twice  the  normal  popula- 
tion of  Arkansas  City.  It  was  proclaimed 
one   of   the   greatest    Arkalalah    parades 


Rebecca  Itine,  juco  sophomore  and 
head  cheerleader  was  selected  by  the 
townspeople  as  Queen  Alaiah  XVI  to 
reign  over  the  two  day  Arkalalah  cele- 
bration. 

in  the  history  of  the  annual  celebration. 
Quote  Southwestern  Collegian:  Have 
you  heard  about  the  little  freshie  girl 
that  tried  to  enroll  in  third  hill?  She 
thought  it  was  one  of  the  colleges  in 
town."

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Well,  gang,  did  you  manage  to  sur- 
vive those  nine-weeks  exams?  Some  of 
the  stev, "dents  (who've  been  really  stew- 
ing) have  confided  that  they're  going 
to  crack  those  books  a  little  oftener 
after  those  dreaded  mid-term  grades 
have  made  their  appearance  at  home. 


Congrats  to  Janell  Estep  and 
Bob  Sneller  for  such  a  super  cute 
skit  presented  in  our  last  pep  as- 
sembly. 


A  new  point  of  beauty  and  interest 
in  Arkansas  City  is  the  San  Roman? 
fountain  on  the  auditorium-gymnasium 
plaza  which  made  its  debut  during  the 
Arkalalah   eel  eh  rat  ion. 

Upon  the  death  of  a  popular  instru- 
mental music  director,  Archie  San 
Romani,  funds  were  raised  by  public 
subscription  for  a  memorial.  Although 
construction  began  in  1941,  it  was  left 
incomplete  due  to  the  lack  of  the  intri- 
cate operating  mechanism  during  the 
war  years. 

The    memorial     fountain    which    has 
been  completed   by  the  Junior  Chamber 
of    Commerce,    sponsor    of    the    project   i 
was    one    of    the    centers    of    attraction  ' 
during  the  Arkalalah. 

Not  only  is  the  completion  of  the 
fountain  a  deserving  memorial  to  San 
Romani,  but  it  is  also  a  work  of  beauty 
and  art.  The  people  of  Arkansas  City 
say.  "Thank  You"  to  the  members  who 
aided  in  the  construction  of  the  me- 
morial. 


lipids  First  Meeting 

The  Junior  College  Spanish  club  held 
their  first  meeting  of  the  year  Octobei 
27  in  the  junior  college  clubrooms. 

A  nominating  committee  was  named 
It  includes,  Barry  McGuire,  Donna  Mul- 
lett,  Rebecca  Rine.  Bill  Ramsey  and 
Ora  Lane  Edwards. 

The  business  was  conducted  in  Span- 
ish and  Spanish  folk  songs  were  sung. 
Plans  were  made  to  spend  some  time 
in  the  study  of  Spanish-American  coun- 
tries. Ora  Edwards  won  the  prize  in  a 
Spanish  game. 

The  club  will  meet  regularly  on  the 
second  and  fourth  Mondays  of  the 
mom  h  at   7  p.  m.

Janell  Estep,  Ann  Koehl  and  Jeri 
Acton  presented  a  play  with  all 
the  properties  consisting  of  one 
Kleenex!  Using  it  for  a  bow  tie 
for  the  hero,  a  ribbon  for  the 
heroine  and  a  mustache  for  the 
villain  ,  the  tattered  Kleenex 
changed  characters  with  every  line. 
Climax  came  when  Jeri  forgot  she 
was  the  heroine  and  used  the  tissue 
for  a  mustache  instead  of  a  ribbon!

Although  they  probably  couldn't 
have  understood  it,  anyone  walking 


Before  we  close,  here  is  one  last 
passing  thought.  .  .  To  escape  that  run- 
down feeling — cross  the  street  care- 
fully. 


Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Five  feet,  eleven  and  one-half  inches 
and  215  pounds  of  man — that's  the 
college   freshman,    Kenneth   Rhodes. 

A  native  of  Arkansas  City,  Kenny 
was  born  here  on  September  23,  19  28, 
a  small  bouncing,  rosy-cheeked  baby. 
His  first  main  words  were  "da-da" 
but  since  those  first  peeps  of  child- 
hood, they  seem  to  have  change  '  'o 
the  two  dominating  words  "hn'ia 
huba." 

Favorites  of  Kenny's  are  chocolato 
cake,  ice  cream,  chicken,  girls,  danc- 
ing. Miss  Sleeth  and  Rhetoric,  sing- 
ing, girls,  "In  the  Mood,"  "Always," 
basketball,    and    his    pipe. 

Kenny's  favorite  pastime  is  riding 
around    in   a   "brand    new   Nash." 

This    young     man     is    credited 
not    only    a    jolly,    likeable    disposition 
but    also    has    green    eyes    and    brown 
hair.    One    of    Kenny's    biggest,    djsires 
is   "to   be   Santa  Clans   at   Christmas." 

Not  going  steady,  he  is  "looking 
the  field  over."  His  ideal  gill  is  bru- 
nette (or  blonde — he  said  it  didn't 
make  any  difference),  about  5'6",  has 
blue  eyes  and  must  be  "someone  tha' 
can    keep   up   with    him." 

Kenny   thinks   a   simply   "wonderful' 
evening    would    be    to    go   dancing    and  I 
then    get    a    short    snack.    After    which. 


Hold  Initial  Meeting 

The  initial  meeting  of  the  German 
club  was  held  Wednesday.  October  2  2, 
in  the  juco  clubroom. 

Malcolm  Smith,  Mark  Porch,  and 
Duana  Boswell  were  c'nosen  as  the  nom- 
inating committee  for  the  group.  Can- 
didates for  officers  are  Mike  Justice 
and  Don  Kelley,  president;  Del  Allen 
and  Rodney  Wilson,  Vice-president; 
Francie  Heinz  and  Bill  Smith,  secre- 
tary; and  Rex  Howe  and  Bob  Adams, 
reporter. 

The  next  meeting,  scheduled  for 
November  5,  has  been  postponed  due  to 
Teachers'   Meeting. 


The  automobile  motor  pounded,  sput- 
tered, and  finally  stopped.  "I  wonder," 
mused  the  freshman  boy,  "what  that 
knock  is?" 

"Maybe."  said  the  beautiful  blond,. 
"it's   opportunity." 

— Swiped. 


he    said,    should    come    the    "long 
home." 

Although  he  is  now  taking  a  general 
juco  course,  Kenny's  ambition  is  to 
be    a    great    advertising    executive.

Popular  Junior  College  Club  Room 
Wos  Once  a  Humble  Shower 


One  of  the  most  popular  juco  rooms 
is  the  basement  clubroom  where  we 
loaf,  we  work,  and  we  play.  Like  all 
good  things  in  life,  this  had  a  beginning 
and    a   history. 

The  room  that  is  now  the  center  of 
college  activity  was  once  the  old  high 
school  shower  a  n  d  locker  room. 
Through  the  engenuity,  planning,  and 
work  of  our  "fore-students"  the  "after- 
gym-class-turmoil"  has  become  the  pres- 
ent day  clubroom. 

Like  today's  student,  the  knowledge- 
seekers  who  went  before  us,  needed  a 
place  to  go  between  classes.  After  an 
investigation,  a  group  of  students  pro- 
posed that  the  shower  room  be  trans- 
formed into  a  clubroom.  With  the 
"okaying"  of  this  proposal  came  the 
real  labor  and  using  of  elbow-grease. 

With  rolled-up  sleeves,  jeans,  slacks, 
and  overalls,  the  students  plastered, 
painted,  and  complete!'/  remodeled  the 
room. 

The  interest,  however,  soon  broaden- 
ed farther  than  the  college  walls  and 
the  business  men  became  interested  in 
the  juco  project.  Newman's  donated  the 
room  a  $150  living  room  suite  besides 
other   contributions   from    outsiders. 

Two  other  suites  were  purchased  by 
the  juco  student  council  and  a  radio- 
phonograph  from  Seeley's  provided  the 
music  for  the  students.  Mr.  McKinley 
Ghramm  donated  the  ping  pong  table, 
an  item  which  is  in  constant  use. 

These  were  the  basic  articles  for  the 
clubroom.    Other    items    purchased    and 


donated  were  decks  of  cards,  records, 
games,  magazines,  and  ping  pong  balls. 
But  still  something  seemed  to  be  miss- 
ing— the  coke  machine!  With  the  ad- 
dition of  this  pleasure-filled  box,  the 
room  stepped  into  its  final  stages. 

On  the  evening  of  March  18,  1942, 
the  clubroom  was  formally  opened  by  a 
social  which  was  held  in  the  lounge  and 
senior  high  gym.  Spotlighting  the  open- 
ing social  was  dancing  to  the  music  of 
Bonner  Ruff's  Noted  Men.  This  affair 
was  for  he  seniors  of  the  high  school, 
Board  of  Education  members,  and  the 
faculty,  as  well  as  all  juco  students. 
The  money  made  by  the  social  was  used 
to  help  pay  for  the  furnishings  that 
were  bought  for  the  clubroom. 

The  chief  pushers  behind  the  project 
were  Ivan  Upson,  board  member,  K.  R. 
Galle,  Dean,  Coach  D.  C.  Stark,  and 
students  Dorothy  Moody,  Neidra  Waltz, 
George  Sybrant,  Bob  Morgan,  Jean 
Peck,  Bill  Ledeker,  Bob  Burton,  and 
Bob  Howland,  with  the  assistance  of 
fellow-students. 

In  March,  1946,  Shirley  Gilliland, 
Jean  Humphrey,  Dale  Smith,  Betty 
Smith,  and  Norman  Moody  saw  the  need 
of  a  clean-up  job  and  set  to  work  to 
fulfill  the  task.  Repairing  and  refinish- 
ing  the  furniture  and  ping  pong  table, 
redecorating  the  walls  and  obtaining  a 
record  holder  were  the  chief  goals  of 
the  group. 

Yes,  the  juco  clubroom  is  alive  with 
activity  and  merriment  today,  thanks  to 
the  hard  work  and  planning  of  yester- 
years.

Tigers  Invade 
Independence 
Pirates  Tonight 

The  Independence  Pirates  will  play 
host  to  the  Tiger  grid  squad  tonight  as 
Coach  Bunt  Speer's  crew  seek  their 
fifth  conference  victory  in  seven  starts. 
The  contest  was  moved  up  to  a  Wednes- 
day evening  feature  due  to  the  state 
teachers'  meetings. 

Next  week,  November  14,  the  Arks 
will  be  back  on  their  regular  Friday 
date  in  a  home  engagement  with  their 
old  rivals,  the  potent  El  Dorado  Grizz- 
lies. 

The  Tigers  are  rated  about  even 
with  Independence  in  tonight's  clash. 
The  Pirates  dropped  an  early  IS  to  0 
heart-breaker  to  Fort  Scott  but  have 
been  improving  steadily  since|  The 
Bengals  will  have  to  play  all  out  in 
order  to  repeat  their  victory  of  last 
year  o\  er  the  Pirates. 

El  Dorado  has  another  fast,  rugged 
eleven  ihis  season  and  will  be  ready  to 
grind  the  Tigers  into  the  Curry  Field 
turf  in  compensation  for  last  year's 
upset  win  by  the  Tigers.  The  Arks, 
however,  will  be  just  as  anxious  for  a 
sequel  of  the  '4  6  fracas. 

The  football  schedule  for  the  re- 
mainder of  the  season  is: 

Nov.    5,    Independence,    There. 

Nov.    14,    El    Dorado,    Here. 

Nov.  21,  Fort  Scott,  Here. 

Are  You  In  Favor 
Of  Professional 
College  Football? 

What  is  your  opinion  of  a  profes- 
sional football  league  among  similar 
medium-sized  colleges  and  universities 
through  which  each  would  sponsor  a 
team  which  plays  for  pay? 

The  president  of  the  University  of 
Louisville,  a  standard  collegiate  insti- 
tution, lias  proposed  that  such  a  pro- 
gram  be  adopted. 

Advantages  of  the  project,  he  says, 
would    include: 

1.  Income  for  colleges  with  slim  bud- 
gets. 

2.  Avoidance  of  the  pseudo-profes- 
sionalism so  common  among  so-called 
"amateur"  college  teams  which  receive 
sub-rosa  payments. 

3.  A  cl  ance  for  a  good  football  player 
to  earn  his  way  through  college  if  he 
wanted  to  go,  and  yet  remain  honest. 

4.  A  chance  for  the  public  to  see  good 
football  without  the  troubles  which 
come  from  eligibility  rules,  for  the 
player  need  not  be  enrolled  in  school 
at  all. 

Why  or  why  not  do  you  as  students 
think  this  idea  is  a  good  or  bad  one? 
If  you  have  an  opinion,  drop  a  note  in 
the  journalism  box  in  the  clubroom. 
Outstanding  ones  will  be  printed  in  the 
next  issue.  Be  sure  to  sign  your  name.

Mavericks  Maul 
Bengals  With  A 
38-Foint  Total 

Without  the  aid  of  a  single  forward 
pass,  die  potent  Northern  Oklahoma 
Junior  College  Mavericks  from  Tonkawa 
ran  to  a  3  8  to  13  victory  over  the  Tigers 
in  a  non-conference  clash  at  Curry 
Field.   October   24. 

In  running  up  the  3  8-point  total,  the 
Mavericks  capitalized  on  a  series  of 
breaks.  It  was  the  highest  total  scored 
against  the  Tigers  in  many  seasons. 

The  Arks  grabbed  a  7  to  0  lead  early 
in  the  lirst  period  when  Earl  Grinnell 
ran  2  4  yards  to  the  Tonkawa  one-yard 
line  and  plunged  over  on  the  next  play. 
Grinnell  passed  to  Joe  Berry  for  the 
extra  point  and  a  7-0  advantage. 

Northern  Oklahoma  came  right  back 
with  a  7  3-yard  drive  to  score.  A  pen- 
alty against  the  Tigers  for  "roughing 
the  passer"  proved  costly  to  the  Bengals 
as  it  nullified  a  pass  interception  by 
Grinnell  which  would  have  ended  the 
Tonkawa  march.  The  penalty  gave  the 
visitors  the  ball  on  the  16,  and  Claud 
Young  crashed  over  several  plays  later. 
His  kick  for  the  poinc  was  no  good  and 
Ark  City  still  led  7-6  as  the  first  quar- 
ter ended. 

Tonkawa  tallied  twice  in  the  second 
period,  once  on  a  5  3-yard  run  by  Con- 
way which  set  up  a  score,  and  again 
after  Tonkawa  recovered  a  fumble  deep 
in  Ark  City  territory. 

A  blocked  kick  set  up  the  fourth 
Oklahoma  touchdown  in  the  third 
period,  but  for  the  fourth  successive 
time  the  kick  for  the  extra  point  was 
no  good  and  the  Mavericks  held  a  2  4-7 
advantage  as  the  third  quarter  ended. 

James  McCormick  recovered  a  Mav- 
erick fumble  on  the  Tonkawa  3  8-yard 
stripe  to  enable  the  Tigers  to  score 
their  final  touchdown  on  a  pass  from 
Grinnell  to  Bob  Brady.  The  pass  for 
the  point  was  no  good. 

Tonkawa  came  right  back  by  return- 
ing the  kickoff  60  yards  and  crossing 
the  goal-line  in  three  more  plays.  This 
time  Young's  kick  fo  rtbe  point  was 
good. 

The  final  counter  of  the  game  came 
a  few  minutes  later  on  a  5  7-yard  gallop 
by  Ivan  Tribby  after  intercepting  a 
Tiger   aerial.    Young's   kick    for   conver- 


Tigers  Roll  Up 
12-7  Victory 
Over  Dodge  City 

With  all-conference  Back  Earl  Grin- 
nell turning  in  another  stellar  perform- 
ance, the  Tigers  rolled  up  their  fourth 
victory  of  the  season  October  31  with 
a,  hard-earned  12  to  7  victory  at  Dodge 
City. 

Forced  to  miss  this  city's  gala  Ark- 
alalah  festivities  to  make  the  lengthy 
journey  into  western  Kansas,  Coach 
"Bunt"  Speer's  hard-charging  crew 
took  it  out  on  the  hapless  Conquista- 
dors. 

The  Conqs  gave  the  home  crowd 
something  to  cheer  about  when  they 
turned  a  Tiger  fumble  into  a  second- 
quarter  touchdown  and  a  7-0  half-time 
lead,  but  the  Tigers  came  roaring  back 
from  the  intermission  to  push  across 
twehe  points  in  the  third  stanza  for 
the  victory. 

The  Dodge  City  counter  came  on  a 
bootleg  play  from  the  Tiger  20-yard 
line  after  recovering  one  of  the  Arks' 
frequent    first-half  fumbles. 

A  pass  was  good  for  the  extra  point. 

The  Tigers  held  onto  the  ball 
throughout  the  second  half  and  clearly 
outplayed  the  Conqs.  The  Bengals  drove 
8  5  yards  for  their  first  score  early  in 
the  third  period,  paced  by  Fullback 
Charley  Ward.  George  Ward  then  took 
to  the  air  on  the  Dodge  City  25  and 
passed  to  Grinnell,  who  crossed  the 
goal  line  alter  a  brilliant  broken  field 
sprint.  A  plunge  for  the  conversion 
failed,  and  the  Tigers  still  trailed,   7-6. 

The  winning  touchdown  came  later 
in  the  same  quarter  after  another  run 
by  Grinnell,  this  time  for  50  yards  after 
taking  a  lateral  from  G.  Ward.  The 
Indian  ace  was  finally  hauled  down  on 
the  Conqs'  ten-yard  line,  but  George 
Ward  smashed  off  tackle  three  plays 
later  for  the  score. 


Meet-  Miss  Co-Ed 

Awakening  from  her  afternoon  nap  in 
the  juco  clubrooms,  Miss  Co-Ed  sleepily 
told  a  few  facts  of  her  life.  Although 
this  little  Miss  has  no  phone,  she  can 
easily  be  contacted  at  Chilocco. 

Eighteen  years  old,  Francie  Heinz  is 
taking  a  pre-med  course  and  will  com- 
plete her  studies  for  specialization  in 
child's  diseases  at  Oklahoma  University. 

For  her  ideal  man.  Miss  Co-Ed  de- 
scribes someone  six  foot  one,  with  dark 
curly  hair,  big  blue  eyes  and  "a  won- 
derful personality."  She  is  five  foot  six 
and  weighs  118  pounds. 

Favorites  include  "Moonlight  Sere- 
nade," hamburger,  horseback  riding 
and   swimming. 


sion  was  good,  to  make  the  final  score 
3  8  to  13.  It  was  the  20th  point  scored 
by  Claud  Young. 

Grinnell  and  Bob  Brady  starred  for 
the  Tigers  as  they  went  down  to  their 
third  defeat  of  the  season.

Handel's  "Messiah"  has  been  sched- 
uled for  December  14  according  to  the 
vocal  music  director,   Charles   Hinchee.

presentation  will  be  a  chorus  composed 
not  only  of  the  present  junior  college 
and  high  school  chorus,  but  also  of 
members  of  every  chorus  which  has 
ever  sung  in  the  local  presentation. 

The  "Messiah"  was  originated  in  Ar-

Romani,  instrumental  music  director  in 
the  schools  at  the  time,  and  Hinchee. 

Soloists  for  last  year's  oratorio  in- 
cluded Mrs.  Marjorie  Crabtree  Rine  of

former  local  resident,  now  of  St.  Louis, 
tenor,  Mrs.  Charles  Heilman.  El  Do- 
rado, contralto,  and  Stanley  Mitchell. 
Wichita,  bass. 

The  "Messiah"  was  composed  by 
Handel  in  24  days  and  was  first  per- 
formed at  a  concert  in  Dublin.  Ireland, 
in  1743  with  the  composer  as  con- 
ductor.

WSRF  Explained 
Aase  Gruner 
In  Juco  Assembly 

Miss  A.ase  Elizabeth  Gruner,  a  grad- 
uate of  Oslo  University,  Oslo  Norway, 
spoke  to  the  junior  college  students 
Thursdav,  November  13,  explaining  the 
World  Student  Relief  Fund  (WSRF), 
and  telling  a  little  about  Norway  during 
the  war  years. 

"The  WSRF  furnishes  the  four  fol- 
lowing aids  to  students  of  troubled 
countries  of  the  world,"  explained  Miss 
Gruner.  "They  are:  (1)  medical  care; 
(2)  food,  housing,  and  clothing;  (3) 
intellectual  relief;  and  (4)  special 
aids."  WSRF  has  raised  a  total  of 
$4,000,000  as  a  relief  fund.  There  are 
18  countries  which  are  members  of  the 
WSRF  besides  Norway  and  the  United 
States. 

Miss  Gruner,  who  is  one  of  the  500 
Norwegian  students  completing  their 
education  in  the  United  States,  has 
been  studying  at  Johns  Hopkins  Uni- 
versity where  she  majored  in  English 
literatuie.  She  has  a  scholarship  to 
Bryn  Mawr  University,  which  will  be- 
gin January  1  and  last  until  June  1. 

At  the  age  of  12  years,  Miss  Gruner 
began  a  determined  study  of  the  Eng- 
lish language.  She  can  also  speak 
several  European  languages. 

A  group  of  Junior  College  Christian 
Association  members  and  their  spon- 
sor accompanied  Miss  Gruner  to  lunch 
at  Deibel's  after  the  program.  There, 
the  students  learned  more  about  Nor- 
way during  the  war. 

Those  present  were:  Miss  Gruner, 
Nadine  Johnson,  Mary  Kay  Peterson, 
Helen  Owens,  Ethel  Harvey,  Catherine 
Stover,  Ed  Gallee,  Bob  Lawson,  Phil 
Parker,  and  Miss  Pauline  Sleeth,  spon- 
sor. 


Table  Tennis 
Artists  Scramble 
For  Juco  Title 

The  dispute  over  who  is  the  best 
table  tennis  player  in  the  junior  college 
will  be  settled  soon  as  play  continues 
in  the  big  all-college  table  tennis  tourn- 
ament. 

The  tourney,  co-sponsored  by  the 
Tiger  Tales  and  the  Student  Council, 
got  under  way  with  a  series  of  hotly- 
contested  first  round  matches  yester- 
day. 

First -round  matches  are  to  be  com- 
pleted this  week,  with  second-round 
contests  to  be  completed  before  the 
Thanksgiving  holidays  begin  next  Wed- 
nesday at  4  p.  m. 

With  all  college  students  and  faculty 
members  eligible,  much  interest  is 
centered  on  the  tourney  as  contestants 
battle  for  supremacy  of  the  lively  table 
game.  If  this  tournament  proves  a 
fair.  Other  divisions,  such  as  girls, 
success,  it  may  become  an  annual  af- 
mixed  doubles,  and  all-faculty  tourna- 
ments may  be  held  later. 

Tournament  rules  and  results  will  be 
posted  in  the     clubroom. 

Witli  the  cooperation  of  participants 
and  non-participants,  this  tournament 
can  become  an  annual  highlight  of  the 
school  year  in  ACJC,  as  it  has  already 
become  in  other  colleges. 

James  McCormick  is  chairman  of  the 
tournament  managing  committee.  Oth- 
er committee  members  are  Dave  Hearne 
and  Bob  Sneller,  with  P.  M.  Johnson, 
faculty  adviser,  and  Jim  Turner,  the 
Student  Council  president,  also  assist- 
ing.

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


The  Booster  Club 
Needs  a  Name! 


At  the  beginning  of  the  year,  all  the 
juco  students  seemed  interested  in  the 
organization  of  the  booster  club.  Many 
students  joined,  went  to  the  initial 
meetings,  ordered  club  sweaters,  and 
then  forgot  all  about  the  rest. 

Attendance  at  the  football  games 
does  nothing  but  fill  up  space  and  take 
a  seat  from  someone  else,  if  you  do  not 
go  with  a  good  college  spirit  and  with 
the  idea  of  backing  your  team  "win  or 
lose."  There  are  students  who  go  to 
the  games  and  then  say  that  they  don't 
care  who  wins,  all  they  came  for  was 
to  see  the  game.  This  is  not  school 
spirit,  this  is  not  the  idea  that  the 
booster  club  stands  for. 

The  booster  club  needs  a  name.  You 
have  been  asked  to  leave  suggestions  in 
the  office  or  give  them  to  some  club 
officer.  Few  names  have  been  sub- 
mitted and  there  is  need  for  many 
more. 

This  is  another  chance  to  do  your 
pari  and  profit  by  it.  If  you  hand  in 
a  name,  it  may  be  yours  that  is  chosen 
for   the   official    booster   club   title. 

(let  behind  your  club!  Stand  up  and 
cheer  for  your  college!  Help  ACJC 
have    the     pep    and     spirit     that     it     de- 


Thanksgiving— What 
Does  St  Mean? 

In    searching    for    the    right    thoughts 
for  Thanksgiving,  we  happened   upon   a 
couple    of    quotations    that    seem    to    ex- 
press it  better  than  any  words  of  ours.: 
He   who   thanks   but    with    lips 

Thanks   but   in   part: 
The  full,  the  true  Thanksgiving, 
Comes    from    the    heart.

Snooping  around  the  halls  trying  to 
find  some  news,  we  smell  the  arousing 
aromas  which  have  escaped  the  biology 
laboratory  room.  These  odors  are  due 
to  J.  Kelsey  Day's  curious  habit  of 
teaching  the  art  of  dissecting  frogs, 
worms,  and  clams.  No  casualties-     yet! 

ODE  ON  FEETBALL 

Out   of  the  huddle  that,  surrounds 
me, 
Into  the  line   with  ends  so  tall, 
I  thank  whatever  God  may  he. 
It's    not    in v    turn    to    carry    the 
hall! 

In  rhetoric  class  Miss  Sleeth  com- 
mented that  there  were  two  people  who 
needed  to  make  a  trip  to  the  waste 
basket.  Although  no  names  were  men- 
tioned almost  half  the  class  rose  and 
deposited  their  gum  in  the  receptacle.

While  out  of  town  over  the  Arkalalah

paid  a  visit  by  a  few  of  her  students. 
Since  site  had  been  teaching  logarithms 
in  algebra  class  a  few  individuals  de- 
cided to  illustrate  the  point.  A  log  was 
placed  on  the  front  porch  of  Miss 
Courtright's  home  with  the  note  saying, 
"Dear  Miss  Courtright.  this  is  a  (log) 
arithm."

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

"Wan'a  play  a  game  of  ping  pong?" 
Thai  is  a  familiar  phrase  to  Patsy 
Sheldon,  juco  freshman,  whose  favorite 
pastime   is  a    game   of  ping  pong. 

Born  in  Cedar  Vale,  Kansas,  on  Oc- 
tober 13  1929,  Miss  Co-ed  has  attended 
Arkansas  City  schools  for  several  years, 
graduating  from  ACHS  in  1947.  Dur- 
ing her  senior  year  Patsy  was  the  Y- 
Teen  presidt  nt. 

First  rank  on  her  list  of  favorites 
fried  chicken,  the  color 
and   the  sport   of  basket- 


are  apple  pie. 
blue,  algebra, 
ball.

5  feet  5  inches  tall,  has  brown  hair 
and  brown  eyes,  and  (hey  guys!)  she 
loves   to    cook. 

Unlike  many  of  today's  juco  students, 
she  wants  to  be  a  teacher  and  is  taking 
a  teacher's  training  course.  She  be- 
lieves teaching  in  primary  grades  would 
be  her  choice.

Junior  Chamber  Has  Problems 
With  San  Romani  Memorial 


Last  steps  toward  completion  of  the 
memorial  fountain,  honoring  the  be- 
loved Archie  E.  San  Romani,  are  now 
in  progress  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Junior    Chamber    of    Commerce. 

Painting  of  the  shell,  and  installa- 
tion of  the  mechanism  to  control  tin- 
colored  lights  which  will  illuminate  the 
fountain  at  night,  are  all  that  remain 
to  be  done.  When  the  fountain  is  com- 
pleted a  ceremony  of  dedication  will  be 
performed  with  student  participation, 
according  to  members  of  the  Junior 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  sponsors  of  the 
project. 

Completion  of  the  project,  begun  in 
December,  1941  after  San  Romani's 
death,  was  halted  because  the  intricate 
operating  mechanism  was  not  available 
during  the  war  years. 

The  fountain  was  designed  by  Mrs. 
Betty  Jean  Billings,  now  of  Marine 
City,  Cal.,  who  won  the  contest  in  which 
the  fountain  design  was  selected.  A 
marble  carving  of  Will  Rogers,  made 
by  Lotus  Day,  was  Mrs.  Billings'  award 
for  being  first  prize  winner.  Sugges- 
tions for  the  fountain  design  were  sub- 
mitted by  6  5  students  from  junior  high 
school,  senior  high  school  and  junior 
college. 

The  flagpole  was  provided  by  the 
Brown-Strauss  Corporation,  while  the 
flag  was  donated  by  tlie  American 
Legion. 

Mr.  San  Romani,  who  died  June  15, 
1941  at  the  age  of  41,  had  been  an 
instrumental  music  instructor  in  Ar- 
kansas City  for  16  years.  Private  pupils 
as  well  as  regular  school  classes  were 
under  his  direction. 


He  had  suffered  since  19  3  2  from  an 
illness  which  was  diagnosed  as  leu- 
kemia,  a  blood   condition   in   which   the 


A.    B.    SAX    ROMAN! 

white    corpuscles    multiply    and    destroy 
the  red  corpuscles. 

Indicative  of  the  high  regard  in 
which  he  was  held  by  his  former  stu- 
dents and  friends  was  the  fine  spirit 
in  which  the  townspeople  entered  into 
the  building  of  the  memorial  fountain. 


Speer  Finds 
Cage  Prospects 
ncouraging 

Prospects  are  good  for  a  winning 
Tiger  basketball  squad  this  season  as 
the  cagers  work  out  for  theih  season 
opener  at  St.  Johns  of  Winfield,  De- 
cember 3. 

Six  returning  lettermen  are  back 
from  last  year's  juco  aggregation,  along 
with  five  members  of  last  year's  hust- 
ling Bulldog  team,  state  runners-up,  to 
give  Coach  "Bunt"  Speer  a  fine  array 
of  talent  around  which  to  mold  a  con- 
ference   title-contender. 

Speer  will  find  plenty  of  competition, 
however,  as  many  other  loop  opponents 
will  alto  be  "loaded,"  including  the 
Pratt  Beavers,  who  come  here  Dec.  5 
to  open  the  conference  play. 

Returning  Tiger  letterman  are  Bill 
Sneller,  Malcolm  Smith,  Jim  Turner, 
Rodney  Wilson,  But  Chaplin,  and  Jack 
Stigers. 

Those  reporting  from  last  year's 
high  school  squad  are  Bill  Mitchell, 
Bill  Clay,  Lyle  Rutter,  Joe  Berry,  and 
Doyle    Gilstrap. 

Other  candidates  include  C  u  r  t 
Swaim,  leading  scorer  in  the  state  last, 
season  with  the  Geuda  Springs  high 
school;  Melvin  Frizzell,  a  regular  on 
the  1946-47  Garden  City  juco  five,  and 
Claus  j  hiesen,  Elwood  Keller,  Bob 
Sneller,  Frank  Crank,  and  Arnold 
Walling. 

More  candidates  are  expected  at  the 
conclusion    of   the    football    season. 


Juco  Social  Is 
Held  Following 
El  Dorado  Game 

The  second  juco  social  was  held  in 
the  auditorium  following  the  El  Dorado 
game. 

Because  of  the  wet,  cold  weather, 
a  large  number  of  the  victorious  juco  j 
student  group  did  not  attend  the  game 
or  the  social.  Dancink  and  card  games  j 
were  the  main  features  of  the  social. 

Refreshments  of  cake  and  hot  choco- 
late were  served  to  the  students.  Also, 
the  remainder  of  the  hot  dogs  for  the 
game  were  treats  of  the  group. 

The  committee  responsible  for  our 
school  socials  are  Mike  Justice,  Ethel 
Harvey,  Phil  Parker,  Nadine  Johnson, 
and  Janell  Estep. 

Because  of  the  small  turnout,  the 
committee  was  left  with  some  left- 
over food  which  the  faculty  members 
and  the  janitors  divided  up  and  took 
home. 

The  committee  expressed  the  desire 
for     a     larger     attendance     at      future 


socials.  They  also  asked  that  the  stu- 
dent body  be  requested  to  leave  the 
playing   cards   in    the   auditorium. 

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Due  to  the  fact  that  lie  heard  his 
favorite  song,  "Apple  Blossom  Wed- 
ding," one  too  many  times,  a  member 
of  the  student  group  recently  took  the 
"biggesi  step"  of  his  life.  This  juco 
member,  Bill.  Crabtree,  said  "I  do" 
November  8.  to  the  former  Rosemary 
Longshore. 

Having  cornered  him  lor  a  few  mo- 
ments, lie  disclosed  a  few  facts  about 
his  likes  and   dislikes. 

His  favorites  are  Rosie,  math,  brown, 
slow-dreamy  music,  sport  clothes,  box- 
ing, football,  and  loafing. 

When  asked  what  were  his  favorite 
foods,  lie  replied.  "Whatever  she 
cooks."  Must  make  a  nice,  agreeable 
husband.   No? 

Bill  is  5  feet,  9  V2  inches  tall,  and 
weighs  about  155  pounds.  He  has 
brown   hair  and   blue   eyes. 

A  majority  of  the  15  months  he 
spent  in  the  navy  were  spent  in  Japan. 

Engineering  is  the  field  that  holds 
a  great  interest  for  Bill.  He  hopes  to 
make  his  career  along  that  line.

For  Grid  Finale 

The  final  act  of  the  1947  football 
play  will  be  presented  tomorrow  nighl 
by  the  Tigers  and  the  Fort  Scott  Grey- 
hounds under  the  direction  of  their 
respective  coaches.  Curtain  time  is  set 
for  7:45  p.  in.,  on  the  Currj  Field

The  Greyhounds  have  shown  plenty 
of  power  this  season  and  a  good  per- 
formance is  expected.  Over  the  years, 
the  Arks  have  found  the  Easterners 
formidable  opponents. 

If  the  Tigers  display  the  same  brand 
of  football  that  they  used  in  trimming 
El  Dorado  last  week,  the  Greyhounds 
should  he  in  for  a  rough  evening. 

The  conference  title  has  already  been 
annexed  by  the  Hutchinson  Blue 
Dragons,  who  are  now  engaged  in  a 
scramble  for  the  Little  Rose  Bowl 
assignment  at  Pasadena.  The  Dragons 
are  "assisted  in  their  try  by  the  Hutch- 
inson  Junior  Chamber  of  Commerce.

Do  You  Know 
Our  Juco  Song? 


Do  you  know  our  college  song?  No? 
We  really  have  one  and  it's  a  good  one 
so   let's  all  learn  it. 

If   you've   ever   listened   to   the   Juco 
Hour    you've    heard    it    as    it's    used    as 
the  theme  song.  It  goes  like  this: 
Let   us  sing  of  A.  C.  college  days 
With   joyous   songs   and    rousing   cheers 
The  happy  friendships  made  will  always 

bring 
Sweet    mem'ries   in   the   after   years. 
We  pledge  to  you  A.  C,  our  loyalty 
In  work  or  play  we'll  stand  the  test. 
The  orange  and  black  of  junior  college 
Will  always   wave  among  the  best. 

Colors   ga\    will    fly   again   today 
For  A.    C.   Tigers   brave   and    strong 
We  cheer  for   you   in    victory   or   defeat 
Our  voices  raise  in  happy  song 
It  is  for  loyalty  and  fellowship 
We  love  and  praise  and  honor  give. 
The    spirit    of    our    junior    college 
Will   ever  more  in  mem'ry  live. 


Independence 


r 


Sinks  Bengals 

The  Tigers  suffered  their  fourth 
grid  loss  of  the  current  season  when 
the  strong  Independence  jucos  struck 
through  the  air  for  a  20  to  0  conference 
victory  November   5,   at   Independence. 

Paced  by  their  brilliant  halfback. 
Gene  Gill,  the  Pirates  scored  two 
touchdowns  in  the  second  quarter  and 
added  another  in  the  final  period  to 
hand  the  Tigers  their  worst  conference 
defeat  of  the  year.  In  blanking  the 
Bengals,  the  Pirates  moved  past  the 
Arks   in    the  loop   standings. 

All  three  Independence  scores  came 
on  passes  as  the  two  elevens  battled 
on   even   terms  on   the   ground. 

The  Tigers  got  off  to  a  bad  start 
with  the  Pirates  recovering  an  Ark 
City  fumble  deep  in  Tiger  territory. 
The  Pirates  were  stopped,  however,  un- 
til a  22-yard  pass  play  "from  Worl  to 
G.  Carpenter  put  the  home  team  into 
a  6-0  lead  early  in  the  second  stanza. 

The  Buccaneers  made  it  13-0  at 
halftime  after  Kellenberger  heaved  an 
aerial  to  Gill  for  4  0  yards  and  a  touch- 
down.   Sturgeon    kicked    the    point. 

The  final  tally  came  in  the  fourth 
quarter  on  a  3  2-yard  pass  from  Kellen- 
berger   le   <lill.    Si  urgenn    rmi\  eried. 

The  Arks  marched  to  the  Indepen- 
dence 10  in  the  second  quarter,  their 
deepest  penetration  of  the  game,  but 
were  unable  to  score. 

An  Independence  junioi  college  grid 
queen  was  crowned  during  half-time 
ceremonies. 

Love  may  be  blind  but  it  sure  finds 
its  wav  around  in  the  dark. 


Dismal  Night, 
But  Tigers  Win 
Over  Grizzlies 

A  determined  Tiger  football  ^  squad 
made  a  damp,  chilly  evening  a  little 
warmer  for  their  Ark  City  followers  by 
blasting  the  highly-regarded  El  Dorado 
Grizzlies  12  to  0.  November  14.  at 
Curry   Field. 

A  small  crowd  huddled  together  in 
the  stands  to  watch  Coach  "Bunt" 
Speer's  hustling  crew  play  their  best 
football  of  the  season  in  chalking  up 
their  fifth  win  against  only  three  de- 
feats. 

The  Tigers  punched  their  first  touch- 
down across  in  the  opening  quarter 
when  Earl  Grinnell  passed  to  George 
Ward  from  the  twelve-yard  line  to  cap 
a  5  0-yard  scoring  march.  The  conver- 
sion attempt  failed,  and  the  Bengals 
maintained  their  6  to  0  lead  until  the 
third    quarter. 

A  2  2-yard  punt  runback  by  Grinnell 
to  the  Grizzlies'  43-yard  line  started  the 
Tigers  on  another  march  to  paydirt. 

With  Grinnell,  George  and  Charley 
Ward  pacing  the  attacfl,  the  Arks 
marched  to  the  four,  from  where  Grin- 
nell  crashed   over. 

The  Tigers  had  several  other  scor- 
ing opportunities.  A  highlight  of  the 
game  came  in  the  closing  seconds  of 
the  first  half  when  Tackle  Bill  Daniel 
intercepted  an  El  Dorado  aerial  and 
returned  it  01  yards  to  the  Grizzlies' 
seven-yard  line  to  halt  the  visitors' 
only   scoring   threat   of   the  evening.

Since  everyone  is  interested  in  what's 
going  on  in  other  colleges,  this  column 
is  being  initiated  to  give  you  a  glimpse 
of  college  activities  in  the  surrounding 
vicinity. 

Chanule    Juco: 

The  Board  of  Education  voted  to 
provide  a  smoking  room  for  the  male 
students   of   the   junior   college. 

The  sophomores  initiated  the  petition 
to  request  the  school  board  for  a 
smoking  room  but  the  board  approved 
the  measure  before  the  petition  was 
handed    to    them. 

Neither     college     women      nor     high 
school   students  will   be   allowed    to   use 
the  newly  acquired  room.

Super  Grid  Season 
Gomes  To  a  Close 

With  ilif  opening  of  the  basketball 
season,  we  close  the  curtain  tor  a  while 
on  one  of  the  juco  favorites.  We  close 
the  curtain  for  a  while,  yes—  but  we  do 
not   forget  it. 

DespiU  cold  weather,  rain,  or  mud, 
our  team  played  with  all  their  ability 
and  pep,  paving  the  road  to  victory 
many  times.  Tackles,  backs  guards, 
linemen,  centers,  and  ends  and  others 
all  played  their  part  on  the  road  to 
honor. 

Also  defying  cold  weather  and  rain 
were  loyal  juco  rooters.  This  group  also 
should  receive  gratitude  from  the  stu- 
dent body,  for  they  were  part  of  the 
team. 

Many  members  of  the  football  team 
played  their  last  games  for  the  junior 
college  this  year.  They  will  be  remem- 
bered as  one  of  the  grid  squad  who 
played  so  valiantly. 

For  the  grand  games  and  the  wonder- 
ful times    we  say  "Thank  You,  Team." 

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

A  freshman  of  the  local  halls  is  Ber- 
nice   Uossi,    today's   Miss   Co-ed. 

Born  in  the  Mercy  hospital  on  June 
13,  19  29.  Miss  Bossi  has  attended  local 
schools  and  graduated  from  ACHS  with 
the  clats  of  '47. 

Rating  top  place  on  her  roll  of  fav- 
orites are  hot  rolls  and  butter,  turkey, 
dressing,  pumpkin  pie,  and  all  trim- 
mings, sounds  as  if  she  goes  for  food, 
no?)  the  color  green,  new  styles,  and 
scientific  subjects.  Her  favorite  pastime 
is  "riding  in  the  rain."  She  also  likes

i  heir  lace  hankies." 


THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


You  know,  writing  this  column  def- 
initely has  its  bad  points.  One  soon 
learns  there  are  three  types  of  people  in 
the  reading  audience:  tl)  Those  who 
get  mad  because  their  names  appear  in 
the  column;  (2)  Those  who  get  mad 
because  their  names  didn't  appear  in 
the  column;  and  (3)  Those  who  just 
get  mad. 

A  little  incident  which  took  plate 
in  .VIr.  Maag's  speech  class: 

.Veil  Bell:  "Did  you  know  we 
were  going  to  have  a  test  in  here?" 

Pat  Gochis:  "Yeah,  I've  got  niy 
notes  all  ready." 

Many  a  familiar  face  was  seen  in  the 
halls  of  ACJC  last  week  as  former  stu- 
dents visited  here  for  the  Thanksgiving 
days.  Among  those  spotted  here  and 
there  around  college  were  Iris  Rahn. 
Jim  Hollenback,  Forrest  Musson,  How- 
ard Neal,  Kermit  Sandefur,  Phil  Smith, 
Charles  Belt,  Lenna  Payton  Dalton,  and 
Daniel  Stark  from  the  class  of  '47; 
Harold  Rice,  j.  c.  '46,  Norman  Troxell, 
j.  c.  '40,  and  Logan  McCabe.  j.  c,  '38. 
Others  were  Ted  Buckland.  James  Heck 
and  Joyce  Sewell. 

We've  noticed  that  Larry  Hay 
and  Virginia  Banks  are  still  tramp- 
ing around  together.  When  tramp- 
ing is  said,  tramping  is  meant. 
Larry's  little  ole  car  is  still  in  the 
shop  where  (incidentally)  Virginia 
put   it. 

No.  Bebe  didn't  go  to  Reno  to  di- 
vorce anyone.  The  trip  was  strictly  a 
business  deal. 

Imagine  the  lonesomeness  of 
.lack    Chambers    when    Bruca    Lea 


Bradley's  steady  came  home  for  va- 
cation.  'Tuff  luck,  Jack. 

Some  people  who  have  a  reputation 
lor  being  responsible  are  responsible 
for  more  than  you  think. 

Mother:  Didn't  I  tell  you  not  to 
go  out  with  perfect  strangers? 

Daughter:  But  mother,  he  was 
not  perfect. 

Miss  Hawley,  on  the  Tiger  Action 
Club  iTAC):  "Well,  at  least  it  has 
a  point." 

One  of  Mr.  Johnson's  brilliant 
remarks:  "The  British  and  English 
families   are   closely   related." 

Happy  characters  over  the  holidays 
include  Barbara  Wahler  because  her 
future  was  home  for  the  vacation  days; 
Francis  Cooper  brightened  the  life  of 
Rosemary  Warren  for  a  few  days  also. 

While  this  is  being  written  no 
one  knows  for  sure  who  will  be 
going  with  whom  to  the  formal 
dance  with  whom.  However  there 
are  girls  who  have  their  hopes  and 
boys  who  believe  in  keeping  the 
girls  waiting  until  the  last  minute. 
Here's  hoping  the  boys  didn't  wait 
too  long,  and  that  the  hopeful 
girls  wern't  disappointed.

Kenneth  Quimby  stopped  one  of  the 
reporters  the  other  day  to  inform  us 
that  Lyle  Rutter  shot  a  duck.  ...  a 
decoy! 

We've  searched  every  classroom, 
We've  climbed  every  stair. 
All  we  could  find 
Are  these  capers  found  here. 


Jean  Smith  Elected 
French  Club  Prexy 

Jean  Smith  was  elected  president  of

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

"Oklahoma"  is  not  only  one  of  the 
best  musical  productions  of  recent  years 
but  to  this  title  can  also  be  attributed 
today's  headliner,   Bob  Anstine. 

Born  in  Newkirk,  Oklahoma,  on  July 
27.  1929,  Hob  is  now  a  freshman  in  the 
halls  of  ACJC.  After  school  he  is  em- 
ployed ;;t  one  of  the  local  service  sta- 
tions. 

Favorites  of  his  are  fried  chicken, 
apple  pie  topped  with  a  large  dipper  of 
ice  cream  (any  flavor1),  girls,  blue,  bow 
ties,  baseball,  girls,  and  more  girls. 

This  five  foot,  seven  inch,  170  pound 
freshman  has  blue  eyes  and  brown 
wavy  hair. 

Bob's  ideal  girl  must  be  about  five 
feet  tall  (with  an  added  three  inches), 
have  blue  eyes,  be  a  brunette,  and, 
above  all  else,  be  a  good  sport  who  can 
keep  up  with  the  crowd. 

When  asked  his  ambition.  Bob  re- 
plied:   "To  be  an  educated  ornament." 

No  day  is  perfect  because  it  always 
starts  by   breaking.

school  and  junior  college.  "Personality 
makes  or  breaks  you,"  he  said. 

In  explaining  a  person's  mind  he  com- 
pared it  to  three  stories,  or  floors,  of  a 
building  with  the  top  floor  occupied  by 
the  phase  of  things  of  which  you  are 
the  proudest,  reason,  judgments,  ideals 
and  standards.  The  second  floor  con- 
tains the  experiences  of  the  individuals. 

"You  never  forget  anything,"  Dr. 
Schwegler  commented,  much  to  the 
astonishment  of  the  listening  audience 
until  he  added,  "you  only  mislay  it." 

The  third  floor  contains  the  escape 
mechanism,  according  to  Dr.  Schwegler. 
who  explained  the  different  escape 
mechanisms,  compensation,  replacement 
and   projection. 

The  second  floor  regulates  90  per 
cent  of  a  person's  living  in  controlling 
the  "I  like  it"  and  the  "I  don't  like  it" 
emotions. 

"You,  as  a  human,  are  the  master- 
piece of  created  process,  the  pinnacle 
of  operations,"  said  the  psychologist, 
"but  you  are  still  in  the  process  of 
mastering  the  art  of  living." 

Following  the  lecture,  Dr.  Schwegler 
answered  the  questions  of  the  juco  stu- 
dents  and    faculty. 

Several  students  had  personal  con- 
ferences with  Dr.  Schwegler  Nov.  19 
and  20.  although  his  time  was  limited 
and  he  was  unable  to  keep  all  the  ap- 
pointments made  by  the  students. 

Dr.  Schwegler,  dean-emeritus  of  the 
School  of  Education  at  the  University 
of  Kansas,  is  a  consulting  psychologist 
and  lecturer  and  is  now  retired,  devot- 1 
ing  his  time  and  talents  to  his  per- 1 
sonalitv  clinics  as  a  service  to  the  youth 
of  this  area.

Croon  To  Latest  Tunes; 
Platters  Rate   High 
As  Favorite  Pastime 

On  cold  blizzardy  nights  there  is 
nothing  more  enjoyable  than  to  get 
comfy  in  front  of  a  smoldering  lire  and 
croon  tc  some  of  the  latest  and  favorite 
tunes. 

Among  those  which  seem  to  be  most 
popular  are  "Let  Me  Love  You  Tonight" 
which  is  sung  by  Nellie  Lutcher  with 
the  flip-over  being  "He's  a  Real  Gone 
Guy." 

The  King  Cole  Trio  rates  high  with 
their  latest  recording  of  "I  Miss  Yon 
So,"  and  "I  Think  You  Get  What  I 
Mean." 

In  a  vocal  duet  with  the  Hollywood 
Hucksters,  Benny  Goodman  and  Stan 
Kenton  combine  tale'nts  with  "Happy 
Blues,"  and  "Them  There  Eyes." 

"Near  You"  by  Francis  Craig  hits 
the  soft  spot  of  every  sentimentalist. 
Also  "Red  Rose"  which  is  on  the  back 
portrays  equal  smoqthness. 

Tex  Williams  shines  with  "That's 
What  I  Like  About  the  West,"  and 
"Downtown  Poker  Club."  Also  his  re- 
cording of  "Smoke!  Smoke!  Smoke!" 
and  "Roundup  Polka"  add  a  bit  of  life 
to  the  croon  tunes. 

Count  Basie  gives  out  with  that  ever- 
lovin'  "Jungle  King"  and  "I  Ain't  Mad 
At  You." 

"Civilization"  by  Woody  Herman  por- 
trays equal  popularity  as  a  recording 
also  since  Woody  has  the  vocal. 

The  waxings  of  "Them  Durn  Fool 
Tilings"  and  "Song  of  Indians''  by  Red 
Ingle  and  the  Natural  Seven  proves  to 
be  a  new  phase  in  this  changing  world. 

A  new  hit  which  sport  a  new  vocalist 
makes   the  spotlight  with   Gordon   Mac- 
Rae   singing   "A   Fellow    Needs   a    Girl" 
and  "Body  and  Soul."

Dean  K,.  R.  Galle  was  in  Lawrence 
Tuesday  where  he  attended  discussion 
groups  with  deans  of  other  junior  col- 
leges and  colleges  in  Kansas.  They  dis- 
cussed the  coordination  of  courses  of 
study  in  junior  colleges  and  colleges. 
The  meeting  was  headed  by  leading  pro- 
fessors of  the  University  of  Kansas. 

She:   "Can  you  drive  with  one  arm?" 

He:    "Sure." 

She:    "Here,    have    an    apple." 


Improvements  On 
Curry  Field  Are 
Being  Considered 

Prospects  for  expansion  of  the  seat- 
ing arrangement  at  Curry  Field  are 
bright,  and  important  changes  will  take 
place  probably  before  the  19  48  grid 
season  opens,  if  plans  discussed  by  the 
Board  of  Education  at  their  November 
meeting  are  carried  out. 

Larger  crowds  during  the  last  five 
years  have  made  seating  arrangements 
inadequate,  with  fans  overflowing  the 
stadium  for  most  of  the  Ark  Valley  and 
Junior  College  Conference  games  in 
good  weather,  and  huge  invasions  of 
out-of  town  fans,  as  at  the  Wellington 
game,  bringing  a  necessity  for  new 
stands.  The  heavy  crowds  have  caused 
rapid  deterioration  of  wooden  stands 
and  required  constant  repair  work. 

Amos  L.  Curry,  athletic  director,  is 
investigating  plans  and  costs  for  the 
most  suitable  arrangements.  Tentative 
plans  call  for  a  structure  of  reinforced 
concrete,  steel  braced  wooden  seat  tops. 
It  would  run  from  goal  line  to  goal  line 
on  the  west  side  of  the  gridiron.  The 
plan  is  for  students  to  sit  on  the  east 
side  of  the  field,  while  older  fans  would 
have  the  new  bleachers  on  the  west  side. 

Supt.  Jerry  J.  Vineyard  was  directed 
by  the  school  board  to  present  a  cost 
estimate  of  the  new  addition.  The  fi- 
nancing of  the  project  will  be  from  a 
special  building  fund  of  ?20,000,  This 
money  was  raised  by  a  tax  levy  for 
architectural  plans  and  site  for  a  new 
Junior  College  Trade  School.  While  this 
money  will  not  be  used  for  some  time, 
if  applied  on  the  Curry  Field  would 
save  the  taxpayers  a  higher  levy  on 
property  tax  next  year  which  would  be 
the  only  other  source  of  income  to 
build  the  new  expansion.

Tigers  Lose 
Final  Game 
To  Greyhounds 

An  80-yard  gallop  by  Fort  Scott  half- 
back Claude  Mahaiffe  spelled  defeat  for 
a  fighting  Tiger  eleven  as  they  bowed 
to  the  Greyhounds,  6  to  0,  in  their  final 
grid  encounter  of  the  season.  November 
21. 

The  hard-fought  conference  clash 
played  in  a  sea  of  mud  at  Curry  Field. 
with  a  cold  north  wind  adding  to  the 
uncomfertabieness  of  players  and  the 
tew  assembled  spectators. 

Both  teams  were  forced  to  abandon 
their  air  attack  almost  entirely,  with 
the  Tigers  outgaining  the  Greyhounds 
in  both  rushing  and  passing. 

Included  in  the  weary  group  of  mud 
plastered  gridsters  who  left  the  field 
alter  the  contest  were  several  sopho- 
mores who  had  ended  their  ACJC  foot- 
ball careers  with  splendid  performances. 

The  only  score  of  the  game  came  on 
Mahaiffe's  long  dash  in  the  second 
quarter.  The  Arks  threatened  on  sev- 
eral occasions  but  were  unable  to  cross 
the  goal  line. 

Tlie  loss  gave  the  Arks  an  even  .500 
record  for  the  season  in  ten  games. 
Coach  Speer's  eleven  won  five  and  lost 
four  in  conference  play.  Fort  Scott 
ended  their  campaign  with  seven  wins, 
two  losses  and  a  tie.  The  Arks  wound  up 
in  the  first  division  of  the  league,  in 
fifth  place.

At  the  pep  assembly  November  21 
■  oach  "Bunt"  Speer  revealed  the  elec- 
tion of  Jim  Coker  as  honorary  captain 
of  the  lootball  team.  Among  many 
loyal  players  Coker  was  elected  the  one 
who  was  most  consistent  in  his  playing 
on    both   offensive  and   defensive. 

Janice  Upson,  attired  in  a  flashy 
sport  jacket  with  clashing  shirt  and  tie, 
presented  the  local  Juco  fans  with  a 
reading  entitled  "The  Big  Game."  Miss 
Upson  imitated  Ted  Husing  in  a  play- 
by  play  description  of  a  very  exciting 
football  game. 

The  assembly  was  adjourned  with  the 
leading  of  several  yells  by  the  cheer- 
leaders. 

A  college  chorus  chicken  and  noodle 
ndiner  was  scheduled  to  be  held  Tues- 
day night,  followed  by  Messiah  practice. 

C.  L.  Hinchee,  music  director  pro- 
vided the  chicken  for  the  feed.  Ethel

"Woody"  Comes  To  Art

Something  new  has  been  added  to 
the  ai";  department!  A  hand-carved 
wooden  manikin  with  movable  joints

the  name  chosen  by  the  art  students 
for  this  all  wood  figure  which  is  24 
inches  tall  and  is  perfectly  proportioned 
to  the  human  body. 

"The  school  has  wanted  to  purchase 
a  manikin  for  quite  some  time,  but  the 
figures  were  not  available  during  the 
war,"  reports  Miss  Vera  Koontz.  art

Have  You  The 


With  the  holiday  vacation  top  in 
our  minds  and  Christmas  shopping  al- 
ways marring  the  scene.  Juco  students 
are  beginning  to  feel  the  "Christmas 
Air"  (all  right,  so  it  is  hot!  Aren't  you 
"dreaming  of  a  white  Christmas?") 

When  school  is  dismissed  Dec.  19, 
what  are  you  going  to  do?  First,  you 
MUST  complete  that  Christmas  shop- 
ping so  your  conscience  will  be  com- 
pletely clear.  Next  on  the  agenda  is 
that  job  to  earn  the  "moola"  for  said 
purchases. 

Now  that  all  your  worries  are  over 
(joke,  that  is!),  suppose  you  recapture 
your  youth.  T'won't  be  hard,  you  know! 
Organize  a  caroling  group!  Even  though 
you  can't  sing,  shut-ins  won't  realize  it 
and  you'll  put  a  bit  of  Christmas  cheer 
in  their  hearts. 

How  about  fixing  up  some  old  toys 
or  a  Christmas  package  for  those  little 
shavers  at  the  other  end  of  town? 

With  all  this,  you  can  really  make 
it  a  "Merry  Christmas  to  all,  and  to  all 
a  good  night !"

Movies  Are  Shown 
To  German  Students 

Moving  pictures  of  German  home  life 
were  shown  to  the  German  students  by 
Don  Kelley,  president,  at  their  last 
club  meeting  Wednesday,  Dec.  10,  in 
the    juco    clubroom. 

The  group  also  listened  to  some  re- 
cordings of  Christmas  carols  in  German. 
The  record  album  belonged  to  Ed  Galle. 
Ed  also  served  Pfeffernusse,  a  kind  of 
German  cookie,  to  the  members. 


THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Congratulations  to  the  basketball 
team  for  getting  off  to  such  a  wonderful 
start  by  beating  the  St.  John's  "John- 
nies"  at  Winfield  Dec.  3.  That  was 
really  a  wonderful  and  exciting  game. 
Keep  up  the  good  work! 

Recognition  should  be  given  «to 
the  loyal  Bengal  tans  who  braved 
('■lie  storm  (all  joking  aside)  and 
went  to  Winfield  to  see  the  great 
victory. 

There  is  only  one  success — to  be  able 
to  spend  your  life  in  your  own  way. — 
Kansas  State  Collegienne. 

Thanks  to  I.  Otto  Stopp  tor  the 
.suggested  motto  of  .junior  college 
which  was  "If  you  .just  go  to  a 
game  to  sit,   GO  TO  YELL!    !

Alas  and  Alack!  Larry  Hay's  lit- 
tle "Elinira"  (Hoopie,  to  you)  is 
finally  out  of  the  shop.  How's  it 
doing,  Larry? 

Jack  Warren  (soberly)  "I've  really 
got  a  good  start  on  this  book.  I've  read 
the  first  two  pages." 

To  Bob  Larson  and  Elwood  Kel- 
ler: Those  drawings  were  very 
cute  that  you  drew  on  the  board 
in  the  foods  room  at  the  college 
chorus  supper.  Keep  practicing  and 
maybe  someday  you'll  become 
famous. 

The  observant  student  in  a  certain 
rhetoric  teacher's  room  the  other  day 
would  have  noticed  written  on  the 
board  "Suprise!"  (All  right,  so  you 
can't  spell  either!  We  thought  it  was 
funny! ) 

Kenny    Rhodes   lias   finally   real- 


ized his  ambition.  .  .  to  be  Santa 
Clans!  When  any  juco  belle  enters 
the  toyland  in  a  local  store  they 
are  warned  that  during  store  hours 
the  age  limit  for  Santa  Clans  seek- 
ers is  eight  years,  but  after  store 
hours  you're  on  your  own.  How- 
ever, Kenny  ran  up  against  some- 
thing the  other  day.  He  needed  no 
make-up  to  make  his  cheeks  rosy. 
The  first  little  girl's  request  was 
a  "wetttn'  doll."  Guess  Santa 
finally  promised  her  a  doll,  but 
did  not  specify  the  kind. 

The  most  popular  word  in  the  vo- 
cabulary of  the  students  who  are  having 
to  write  research  papers  is  "Ibid"  which 
means  "in  the  same  place."  This  is  due 
to  the  minimum  quantity  of  books  in 
the  two  libraries  on  certain  subjects. 

To  whom  goes  the  credit  for  the 
smell  of  burned  cabbage  which  last 
week  found  its  way  into  the  corners 
and  down  the  middle  of  the  junior 
college  halls?

Galle  Returns  From 
Meeting  of  Deans 

Dean  K.  R.  Galle  returned  Dec.  2 
from  Lawrence  where  he  was  a  guest  of 
the  University  of  Kansas  at  a  meeting 
of  the  deans  of  the  Kansas  junior  col- 
leges. The  group  conferred  on  the  co- 
ordination of  the  curriculum  of  the 
University     and    the   junior    colleges. 

"Students  from  the  junior  college  are 
admitted  to  the  senior  classes  on  the 
same  basis  as  the  KU  students.  Dean 
Galle  reported,  "and  all  credits  are 
accepted." 

In  the  conference,  the  group  report- 
ed that  the  general  trend  at  the  present 
time  is  to  postpone  the  specialized 
vocations  until  later  years,  which  means 
the  students  go   to  school   longer. 

Hosts  for  the  occasion  were' the  deans 
of   the   various   departments   of   KU. 


Gas  Light  Leads 
Are  Juco  Hour  Guests 

Featuring  the  high  school  dramatics 
department,  Pat  Reiswig  and  Barry  Mc- 
Guire,  stars  of  the  speech  play,  "Gas 
Light"  or  "Angel  Street,"  were  inter- 
viewed   over   the   Juco    Hour   Dec.    2. 

Having  given  a  short  account  of  the 
play,  Janell  Estep  introduced  the  actors 
who  gave  a  skit  from  a  scene  of  the 
Victorian  melodrama.  Bill  Daniels,  an- 
nouncer, introduced  Bob  Sneller  with 
his  summary  of  the  football  season  and 
the  line-ups  for  the  opening  basketball 
season. 

The  annual  Messiah  was  the  topic  of 
the  Juco  Hour  Dec.  9.  Charles  Hinchee 
director  of  the  Messiah,  was  inter- 
viewed and  during  his  speech,  told  of 
the  guest  soloists. 

Artie  Metcaf  played  "Serenade  of 
the  Stars"  and  "Manhattan  Serenade." 
The  program  closed  with  the  presenta- 
tion of  the  recording  of  the  "Hallelujah 
Chorus."

Christmas  in  All  Its  Glory 
Is  Just  Around  the  Corner 


With  the  approach  of  December  25, 
homes  and  cities  of  the  world  take  on 
the  festive  air  as  people  prepare  for 
Christmas,   the  birthday   of   Christ. 

Mystery  fills  the  air  as  the  old  cus- 
tom of  exchanging  gifts  from  the  deco- 
rated Christmas  tree  is  fulfilled.  From 
the  first  present  placed  beneath  the 
tree  to  the  last  gift  wrapped,  young  and 
old  alike  wonder  what  it  holds  in  store 
for  them.  With  the  giving  of  presents 
comes  the  fun  of  wrapping  each  gift 
so  the  contents  will  not  be  disclosed, 
leaving  many  beautiful  bundles  of  mys- 
tery. 

The  decorating  of  the  evergreen  is  a 
task  enjoyed  by  every  member  of  the 
family.  Children,  especially,  look  for- 
ward to  the  day  when  father  brings 
home  the  Christmas  tree.  Icicles,  bright 
balls,  strings  of  popcorn,  angel  hair, 
and  other  bright  objects  adorn  the  tree. 
The  old  custom  of  using  the  burning 
candles  has  been  replaced  with  the  use 
of  differently  shaped  electric  lights. 

Although  few  can  still  enjoy  the 
sleigh  rides  which  were  so  popular  in 
the  past  years,  to  many,  Christmas 
means  a  long  trip  home  to  loved  ones 
and  the  renewing  of  old  friendships. 

Accompanying   the   Christmas   season 


is  the  feeling  of  "good  will  and  peace  on 
earth,"  and  it  becomes  a  time  of  the 
year  when  nearly  everyone  is  friendly 
and   forgiving. 

Holly  is  the  flower  of  December  and 
turquoise   is   her  color. 

With  the  close  of  the  Christmas 
season  comes  the  beginning  of  a  new 
year.  This  brings  not  only  the  tradi- 
tional "seeing  out  the  old  year  and 
ushering  in  the  new  year"  but  also 
brings  many  new  resolutions  for  the 
coming  year. 

Thus  the  close  of  the  old  year  and 
the  beginning  of  the  new  are  accom- 
panied by  joy  and  festivity,  giving  an 
individual  the  "perfect"  start  for  the 
year  to  follow.

tian Association.

Fetterolf,  Wayne  Gribble  and  Jack  Ron- 
sick,  who  portrayed  the  prophets  Isaiah, 
Mecah,  and  Hosea.  The  three  wise  men

McCormick    and    George   Ward.. 

Del  Allen  and  Phil  Parker  played

The  angel  Gabriel  was  portrayed  by 
Robert  Adams,  while  Bill  Ramsey,  Mar- 
vin Wilhite,  and  Mark  Porch  were  the 
shepherds. 

Mrs.  Gertrude  Beatty,  violinist,  and 
Miss  Barbara  Williams,  accompanist,

a  chorus  composed  of  Frances  Heinz, 
Peggy  Sullivan,  Rosemary  Warren,

let, Berniece  Bossi.  Bernyce  Thomas, 
RaGyne  Hawkins,  Catherine  Stover,

Cagers  After 
Fourth  Win 
Of  Season 

With  three  victories  already  under 
their  belts,  Coach  "Bunt  Speer's  Tigers 
will  be  hot  after  win  number  four  to- 
morrow night  when  they  battle  the 
strong  Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons  on  the 
auditorium-gym    floor. 

The  Hutchinson  jucos,  state  grid 
champs,  are  one  of  the  early-season 
contenders  for  the  western  division  con- 
ference cage  title,  and  a  triumph  for 
the  Arks  tomorrow  would  put  the 
Tigers  in  the  thick  of  the  champion- 
ship race.  A  fast,  high-scoring  contest 
is  anticipated  tomorrow  night  in  this 
important  encounter. 

The  Tigers  dropped  a  close  game  to 
Pratt  for  their  only  league  game  to 
date  and  their  only  defeat  of  the  season. 
The  Bengals  have  downed  Coffeyville 
and  Parsons  since  losing  to  the  Beavers 
and  hope  to  extend  their  winning  streak 
against   the  Dragons. 

Bill  Mitchell  leads  the  Tigers  in  in- 
dividual scoring  with  5  2  points  in  four 
games  for  an  even  13.0  overage.  Bill 
Clay  is  second  with  2  6  points.  The  team 
averages   43.75    tallies   per  game. 

The  Arks  will  not  resume  their  reg- 
ular schedule  until  Jan.  2  when  they 
meet  Parsons  again,  this  time  at  liome. 
Coach  "Bunt"  Speer  will  take  the  squad 
to  Independence  Dec.  2  9  and  30  for 
the  Invitational  tournament.  Parsons 
will  be  the  first  opponent,  making  the 
third  Tiger-Cardinal  meeting  in  three 
weeks,  each  time  on  a  different  court. 
The  Arks  won  the  first  one,  51-41,  in 
the  Cardinals'   home  nest. 

Pratt    Hands  Tigers 
Their  First  Defeat 

The  Tigers  went  down  to  their  first 
defeat  of  the  basketball  season  Dec.  5 
when  a  scrapping  Pratt  Beaver  crew 
edged  the  Arks  5  0  to  4  5  in  the  first 
home  game  of  the  year. 

The  Tigers  lost  the  services  of  their 
two  regular  guards,  Lyle  Rutter  and 
Malcolm  Smith,  early  in  the  second  half 
but  managed  to  stay  close  behind  the 
Beavers   up   until   the   final   gun. 

After  the  Bengals  had  grabbed  an 
early  14-9  lead,  Pratt  came  back  to 
maintain  a  25-18  halftime  edge.  The 
Timers  outplayed  their  opponents  in  the 
second  half  but  were  unable  to  over- 
come the  wide  seven-point  deficit. 

Pratt  successfully  employed  an  all 
over  the  court  rushing  style  of  play 
and  outhustled  the  Tigers  under  the 
the  baskets. 

L.  Radar  was  the  individual  scoring 
leader  for  the  victors  with  14  points. 
Bill  Clay  and  Bill  Mitchell  led  the 
Tiger  point-making  with  12  and  10 
counters,    respectively. 


Ledeker  Is  Juco 
Ping  Pong  Champ 


Robin  Ledeker,  sophomore,  became 
champion  of  the  ping  pong  tournament, 
which  was  sponsored  by  the  Tiger  Tales 
and  the  Student  Council,  after  com- 
peting with  Bob  Sneller  in  the  finals. 
The  scores  were  20-22,  22-11,  24-22, 
and  21-16. 

In  the  semi-finals  Bob  Brady  was 
defeated  by  Ledeker.  The  scores  being: 
26-28,  21-11,  21-11,  and  21-15.  Sneller 
won  over  "Chuck"  Hutchinson  with  the 
score  of  21-19,  21-17,  and  21-11,  which 
put  him  in  the  finals  to  play  Ledeker. 

A  tin  cup  with  the  inscription  "Ping 
Pong  Champion  of  1947"  printed  on  a 
banner  around  the  cup  was  presented  to 
the  winner  and  also  a  dollar  which  was 
taken  from  the  fund  which  had  been 
collected  from  the  contestants.  Sneller, 
who  came  in  second,  received  eighty 
cents  for  his  achievement.

Cagers  Trounce 
Parsons  Cards 
54-41,  There 

The  Tigers  pulled  away  in  the  second 
half  to  trounce  the  Parsons  Cardinals 
54-41  in  a  non-league  contest  at  Par- 
sons. Dec.  12.  Big  Bill  Mitchell  scored 
2  4  points  to  pace  the  Arks  to  their 
second  win  in  as  many  nights  and  their 
third  conquest  in  four  tilts  this  season. 

The  Tigers  took  an  early  6-1  lead  and 
led  nearly  al  lthe  way  but  never  by  a 
comfortable  margin  until  the  second 
half.  The  Bengals  held  a  slender  21-20 
edge    at    the    intermission. 

Coach  Speer  used  his  entire  14-man 
squad  in  the  fray. 


Spanish  Club  Begins 
Study  of  Argentina 

A  panel  discussion  on  the  general 
features  of  Argentina  life  and  culture 
was  led  by  Miss  Anne  Hawley,  sponsor, 
at  the  meeting  of  the  Spanish  Club  Dec. 
8  in  the  junior  college  clubroom.  Each 
member  of  the  group  chose  one  partic- 
ular phase  of  Argentina  to  report  on. 
The  group  is  studying  such  subjects  as 
Argentinan  art,  literature  and  science. 

Jean  Flannery,  president,  presided 
over  the  business  meeting,  after  which 
a  Spanish  game  was  played. 

Refreshments    were    served     by     Bill 
Ramsey,  program  chairman.

The  Dinner  Club  held  a  dinner  in  the

Tigers  Whip 
Coffeyville  In 
Last  Seconds 

With  only  five  seconds  to  play  in  the 
overtime  period,  Reserve  Joe  Berry 
sank  a  field  goal  from  close  range  to 
give  the  Tigers  an  exciting  32-31  non- 
conference  victory  over  the  Coffeyville 
Red  Ravens  here,  Dec.   11. 

The  Red  Ravens  held  a  big  20-12  lead 
at  halftime  and  increased  it  to  25-13 
before  the  Tigers  began  a  spirited  rally 
to  tie  the  score  at  29  all  at  the  end  of 
the   regulation   playing   time, 

Coffeyville  scored  a  free  toss  in  the 
five-minute  extra  period,  but  Malcolm 
Smith  knotted  the  score  again  on  a 
charity.  Wade  once  again  put  the  vis- 
itors out  in  front  with  another  free 
throw,  but  the  Tigers  grabbed  the  ball 
and  Berry  hit  just  before  the  final  gun. 

Jim  Turner  led  the  Arks  in  scoring 
with  nine  points.

Tigers  Edge  Out 
Johnnies  44-42 

The  Tiger  cage  squad  started  out  on 
the  right  foot  towards  a  successful 
19  47-4  8  season  by  edging  a  potent  St. 
John's  Eagle  quintet  44  to  42,  in  an 
opening  non-league  thriller  at  Win- 
field,    Dec.    3. 

A  field  goal  by  dependable  Malcolm 
Smith,  veteran  guard,  brought  victory 
to  the  Tigers  after  a  close,  action- 
packed  struggle. 

Both  teams  showed  good  offensive 
play  for  a  season  opener.  The  Arks  lost 
to  the  Johnnies,  35-2S  in  their  '46 
inaugural. 

The  Tigers  overcame  an  11-6  lead 
to  hold  a  slim  17-16  half-time  edge. 
The  Tigers  led  throughout  most  of  the 
second  half  but  the  Eagles  rallied  to 
pull  up  to  a  4  2-4  2  deadlock.  Smith  then 
hit  the  game-winning  goal  with  about 
ten   seconds   to   play. 

Bill  Mitchell  led  the  Ark  City  scor- 
ing with  eleven  points.  Joe  Berry  turn- 
ed in  an  exceptional  rebounding  job  for 
the  Bengals.  Center  Jerry  Otte  starred 
for  the  Eagles,  dumping  in  22  points.

motors,  is  a  very  welcome  addition  to 
the  woodworking  classroom,  instructors 
have  indicated.

Estep  Reigns  At 
Annual  French 
Club  Dinner 

Janell  Estep  and  Filson  Day  reigned 
as  king  and  queen  at  the  annual  Twelfth 
Night  French  Club  dinner  which  was 
held  in  the  Cadet  rooms  of  the  Osage 
hotel  January  7. 

The  decision  of  queen  was  made  by 
the  finding  of  a  bean  which  had  been 
imbedded  in  a  piece  of  cake.  The  person 
who  obtained  the  bean  then  chose  their 
companion.  Miss  Estep  chose  Mr.  Day  to 
serve  as  king.  During  the  entire  eve- 
ning those  present  for  dinner  were 
obliged  to  do  whatever  was  requested 
of  them  by  the  royal  persons. 

The  program  consisted  of  Miss  Estep

Open  Letter  From 
Social  Committee 


Dear  ACJC  Students, 

Just  a  few  lines  to  let  you  know  that 
we  have  appreciated  your  interest  and 
attendance  at  our  socials.  During  this 
semester,  which  is  nearing  the  close, 
the  socials  have  been  successful.  You. 
the  students,  are  responsible  for  these 
successes.  We  also  want  to  thank  every 
student  who  has  helped  individually 
such  as  cookie  baking.  Christmas  dec- 
orating, and  dish  washing,  for  that 
work  was  invaluable. 

Now  that  we  have  thanked  you,  we 
have  one  more  thing  to  ask.  Will  you 
help  us  continue  to  keep  our  good 
record    next    semester? 

Thanks   again. 

The  Social  Committee 
P.  S.  Concerning  socials  for  the  forth- 
coming semester,  it  has  been  suggested 
to  the  committee  that  socials  of  a  more 
conservative  nature  be  presented  so 
that  a  more  elaborate  Tigerama  might 
be  afforded.  Comment  from  the  student 
body  would  be  appreciated. 

Those  wishing  to  submit  their  opin- 
ions may  do  so  by  dropping  a  note  in 
the  Tiger  Tales  office  or  verbally  to 
any  of  the  social  committee. 


THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Here  Come  Some 
More  Of  Those 
New  Year's  Promises 

Every  January  people  make  'em  and 
people  break  'em.  What  do  we  mean? 
Why,  we  are  talking  about  New  Year's 
resolutions,  of  course.  Here  are  a  few 
people  who  solemnly  swear  to  keep  the 
proposals   which    they    have    made: 

John  Thomas:  "I  faithfully  promise 
myself  never  to  buy  another  car." 

Mike  Justice:  "I  resolve  to  raise 
fewer  grades  and   more  heck." 

Catherine  Stover:  "I  am  going  to  get 
my  French  lesson,  be  on  time  to  French 
class  and.  .  .  not  make  any  more  resolu- 
tions." 

"Clem"  Fritchman:  "I  promise  my- 
self not  to  study  on  Sunday." 

Ra  Gyne  Hawkins:  "I  make  my  reso- 
lutions on  the  18th." 

Marvin  Wilhite:  "I'm  going  to  be  a 
good  kid  and  get  my  lessons." 

David  Hearne:  "I  think  I'll  try  to  be 
more   ambitious." 


Come  on,  dig  that  head  out  of  that 
book,  exams  are  almost  over  and  it  is 
no  use  to  study  now!

First  of  all,  a  great  big  congratula- 
tions to  the  Tiger  basketball  squad  for 
winning  that  Independence  tournament. 
That  was  a  wonderful  .job  and  the 
trophy  is  wonderful,  too! 
—acjc— 

Speaking  of  sports,  do  you  know  the 
reaction  of  Jim  McCormick  and  Dave 
Hearne  when  they  read  the  NEA  All- 
American  football  team?  They  said, 
quote,  "WE'VE  BEEN  ROBBED."  Un- 
quote! 

— acjc — 

Wedding  bells  ring  Sunday  for  Ka 
Gyne  Hawkins  and  Frank  Crank.  Con- 
grats and   lots  of  luck,   kids!

The  second  childhood  of  several  juco 
studes  came  into  evidence  just  before 
Christmas  with  those  plastic  squealing 
piggy  banks.  Doris  Deets  had  one  for 
her  little  brother.  .  .  .  she  said!  How- 
ever, the  purpose  was  soon  lost  when 
someone  discovered  that  the  coin  didn't 
have  to  go  all  the  way  in  to  make  the 
porker   squeal.

I'hyllis    Gossard's    little    black    book 
made   an   appearance   the   other   day   in 
the  famous  A.  C.  basement.  Seems  that 
wonderful  California  weather  last  sum- 
mer  also    breezed    in    several    addresses 
of  those   handsome  California  men! 
— acjc — 
I'MJ:   Why,  I've  been  reading  "Time" 
since     I     was     a     sophomore     in     high 
school! " 

Bill  Coulter:  "Was  'Time'  printed 
then?"

IMI'-ulses:     Those     21     candles     dec- 
rating  Miss  Sleeth's  room  were  certainly 
a  temptation.  Especially  since  they  pro- 
vided the  only  lighting  for  the  room.

All   columns   are   'sposed   to   conclude 
with  a  poem,  says  some  little  book.   So 
for  the  occasion,  we've  done  as  so  many 
of    you    have   asked    and    have   obtained 
from   a   famous   poet,   the   permission   to 
print    his    impression    of    the    return    of 
the    Tigers! 

THE  TRIP  HOME 
By  Bob   Sneller 
'Twas  a  cold  December  night  on  the  eve 
they  departed 
And  all  of  the  bus  was  full  of  joy  as 
they  started. 
For  this  bus  was  returning  a  victorious 
squad 
That  had  captured  a  tournament  and 
trophy   to   laud. 

The    boys   rolled    homeward    in    the    an- 
cient   "Blue    Bolt," 
And    happily    sang    amid    the    bounce 
and  the  jolt. 
Even   though   weary  and   tired,   the   vic- 
tors were  still  very  gay, 
And     cries     of     "Come,     babe!"     and 
"hello,   girls!"   were   heard   all   the 
way. 


As   the   journey   bore   on,   the   noise   did 
cease, 
As   the  bus  reached   Sedan,   all   wen' 
at  ease. 
No    one    knew    what    lurked    outside    of 
the   town, 
But  there  lay  the  ice  that  slowed  the 
bus    down. 

The   bus   no   longer  rolled   on  the   high- 
way  that  night, 
For  now  only  coldness  and  ice  were 
in  sight. 
But     THIS    is    what    really    broke    the 
team's    bubble: 
When  Hickey  stepped   up  and  asked, 
"What's   tiie   trouble?" 

The  "Blue  Bolt"  was  halted  on  that  icy 
hill, 
And  everything  looked  like  we  might 
be  there  still, 
Till    a    truck    came    by    and    took    Mrs. 
Speer, 
And  Mitchell  went  too.  for  which  the 
squad  loved  him  dear. 

Two    hours    passed,    and    they    shivered 
and   hovered. 
And   they  thought  of  Mitchell,  sleep- 
ing and  covered. 
A  cold  wait   in  the  bus  seemed  our  un- 
pleasant   plight, 
Till     a     Santa     Fe     bus     approached 
through  the  cold  of  the  night. 

The    Santa    Fe    driver    stopped    at    our 
hail 
And    the  team  was  sent  with   him   to 
Cedar  Vale. 
Coach  Speer  sent  the  players — yes,  the 
team  did  he  send 
As  he  and  Ed  Hickey  stayed  with  the 
bus  till   the  end. 

The    "Blue    Bolt"    was    finally    able    to 
go. 
And   rolled   into  town   on  the  ice  and 
the  snow. 
So  now,  all  were  home  but  the  players 
eleven 
Who   tossed   in    Cedar   Vale   from    six 
until    seven. 

The    Maple   Hotel    was   where   the   team 
went 
And  a  restless  few  minutes  of  sleep 
in  the  lobby  were  spent. 
So    when    the    team    boarded    the    train 
early  next  morn. 
They  were  weary  and  tired,  and  very 
forlorn. 

But    though    tired    and    weary,    all    were 
still   proud. 
For  the  championship   trophy   helped 
brighten    the   cloud. 
And    when    all   who    made   this   journey 
grow  old. 
They'll   never   forget   this    memorable 
trip   in   the  ice  and   the  cold.

Tigers  Take 

Independence 

Tournament 

Coacli  "Bunt  Speer's  Tiger  basketball 
squad  returned  liome  from  the  Inde- 
pendence Invitational  juco  cage  meel 
with  a  championship  trophy  and  a 
host  of  other  laurels  to  show  for  their 
holiday    efforts. 

After  a  hectic  trip  home  ( the  final 
lap  of  which  was  made  by  Missouri 
Pacific  railway  from  Cedar  Vale  after 
the  school  bus  was  halted  on  an  icy 
hill)  the  Tigers  were  weary  but  proud 
of  their  tournament  showing.  The  Arks 
copped  three  victories  in  two  days,  an- 
nexed the  trophy,  received  four  all- 
tournament  team  berths,  and  were 
highly  commended  by  tourney  officials 
and  dignitaries  on  their  excellent  play 
and  fine  sportsmanship. 

The  Independence  two-day  tourney 
was  held  December  29  and  -in.  with 
eight  teams  participating. 

Ark  City  opened  their  tourney  play 
December  29  in  the  7:20  game  by 
trouncing  Parsons.  5  2  to  40.  Bill  Mit- 
chell, Bill  Clay  and  Joe  Berry  paced 
the   Bengal    scoring   in   this   contest. 

The  Orange  and  Black  took  the 
court  the  following  afternoon  in  a 
semi-final  clash  with  the  host  team, 
the  strong  Independence  Pirates.  Play- 
ing their  best  game  of  the  season,  the 
Tigers  downed  the  Pirates  4  6  to  3  8,  to 
move  into  the  finals.  Bill  Clay  and  Joe 
Berry  led  the  Ark  City  offensive  attack 
against  the  Pirates,  with  Lyle  Rutter 
and  Malcolm  Smith  sharing  defensive 
honors. 

The  Tigers  grabbed  a  wide  17  to  3 
lead  on  the  El  Dorado  Grizzlies  and 
romped  in  to  a  50  to  40  win  and  the 
tourney  championship.  The  Speermen 
held  a  50  to  30  lead  in  the  finals  until 
the  Grizzlies  narrowed  the  gap  on  Tiger 
substitutes  in  the  closing  minutes.  Joe 
Berry  with  17  points  and  Rod  Wilson 
with  13  topped  the  locals  in  the  final 
tussle. 

Bill  Mitchell  and  Hill  Clay  both  pour- 
ed points  through  the  hoop  consistently 
and  rebounded  well  to  earn  a  position 
on  the  first  team  in  the  tournament  all- 
star  selections.  Lyle  Rutter  also  earned 
a  first  team  berth  on  the  strength  ol 
his  sparkling  defensive  play.  Rutter 
bottled  up  Dave  Dennis  of  Independence 
and  Dob  Garcia  of  E]  Dorado,  holding 
them  to  field  goals  between  them 
which  was  far  below  their  usual  out- 
put. 

Big  Joe  Berry  played  outstanding 
ball  during  the  tournament  and  was 
awarded  a  place  on  the  second  all- 
tournament  learn.  Berry  was  the  lead- 
ing Tiger  scorer-  for  the  tournament 
with  39  points  ill  three  games  for  a 
13.0   average. 

The  tournament  was  a  booming  suc- 
cess as  far  as  the  Tigers  are  concerned, 
despite  the  weather  difficulties  en- 
countered   on    the    trip   home. 


Hutch  Back  Named  To 
Juco  Ail-American  Team 

Harold  Nevins,  flashy  Hutchinson 
Dragon  back,  has  been  selected  by 
N.E.A.  as  one  of  the  19  47  Junior  Col- 
lege All-America  team.  Nevins  is  rated 
a  last  track  man,  also  is  a  steady  block- 
er, accurate  tackier,  a  powerful  runner 
and  ball  carrier,  good  passer  and  a 
kicking  specialist.  Nevins  was  the  only 
man  from  Kansas  who  made  the  first 
team. 

Eldon  Zollars,  Dragon  center  was 
selected  on  the  second  team.  Three 
other  Kansans  who  were  given  honor- 
able mention  are  Bill  Kelly,  El  Dorado: 
Gerald  Beaman,  Fort  Scott,  and  Gyenn 
Percy,   Iola., 

Quintet  Earns 
Third  Win 
Over  Cardinals 

In  a  ragged  slow-moving  game,  the 
Tigers  rolled  to  a  3  4  to  2  4  victory  over 
the  hapless  Parsons  Cardinals  on  the 
auditorium-gym  floor  January  2.  The 
triumph  was  the  third  one-sided  win  for 
the  Arks  over  the  Cards  and  il  marked 
the  eighth  win  in  nine  starts  this  sea- 
son   for  the   Bengals. 

The  Tigers  showed  a  letdown  in  form 
after  their  tournament  play  at  Inde- 
pendence earlier  in  t he  week  but  never- 
theless defeated  the  visitors  in  easy 
fashion.  Both  teams  were  playing  their 
fourth  same  within  five  days  and  the 
effect  showed  in  the  low  final  score. 

Coach  Speer's  crew  hung  up  a  big 
3  2-12  lead  at  hall-time  and  were  never 
in  serious  danger.  The  Tigers  were  able 
to  score  but  five  points  in  fifteen  min- 
utes at  the  start  of  the  second  half,  bul 
Parsons  was  also  cold  and  the  gap  was 
not  shortened. 

Forward  Joe  Berry  continued  to  pace 
the  Orange  and  Black  attack,  ramming 
in  13  points.  Mauhiney  led  the  Redbirds 
with  eight   tallies. 

The  Tigers  had  previously  defeated 
Parsons  5  4-41  at  Parsons  and  5  2-4<i  at 
I  he   Independence   tournament.

Nighr  Classes  Begin  in 
Shorthand,    Accounting 

Night  classes  in  shorthand,  taught  by 
Barney  Getto  and  accounting,  taught 
by  Dale  Hanson,  began  January  0,  and 
will  continue  until  the  end  of  the 
semester. 

The  accounting  class  meets  on  Wed- 
nesday evenings  for  two  hours  and 
three  hours  college  credits  will  be  given 
for  the  course.  Five  hours  credit  will 
be  given  for  the  shorthand  course  which 
meets  on  Monday.  Tuesday,  and  Thurs- 
day evenings.  There  are  approximately 
ten    persons   enrolled    in    each    class. 


Cagers  To  Meet 
El  Dorado 
Tomorrow  Night 

The  junior  college  Tigers  will  go  to 
El  Dorado  tomorrow  night  to  meet  the 
dangerous  Grizzlies  in  a  vital  western 
|  division  contest.  The  Arks  will  then 
j  travel  to  Pratt  the  following  Friday  to 
tangle  with  the  Beavers,  the  first  team 
to  defeat  the  Bengals  this  season. 

The  Tigers,  with  their  best  cage 
squad  in  many  years,  have  run  up  nine 
victories  against  only  two  reversals. 
(These  figures  do  not  include  last  Tues- 
day's encounter  with  Independence). 
However,  both  losses  have  been  to 
western  division  conference  foes,  Pratt 
and  Dodge  Cily.  which  gives  them  a 
league  standing  of  two  wins  and  two 
defeats. 

Therefore  the  Arks  must  win  both 
of  their  next  two  road  games — at  E) 
Dorado  tomorrow  and  at  Pratt  January 
23  in  order  to  retain  a  chance  at  the 
western  pennant.  If  the  Tigers  can 
trim  the  Grizzlies  and  the  Pratt  five, 
they  must  then  knock  off  Garden  Citv 
and  Dodge  City  at  home  the  following 
week-end. 

Here  is  the  Tiger  schedule  for  the 
remainder  of  January: 

Jan.  13 — Independence,  here  (non 
league ) . 

Jan    10 — At   El   Dorado. 

Jan.    23 — At    Pratt. 

Jan.    30 — Garden   City,    here. 

Jan.    31 — Dodge   City,   here. 

Cagers  Win  Over 
Garden  City;  Lose 
To  Dodge  City 

The  Tigers  returned  home  Sunday 
with  an  even  split  in  their  two-day 
trek  to  western  Kansas  last  week-end. 
The    Tigers    drubbed    Garden    City,    47- 

3  8     on     Friday    night     but     absorbed     a 

4  9-3  7  defeat  at  the  hands  of  the  league- 
leading   Dodge   City  jucos  on   Saturday. 

The  Arks,  paced  by  forward  Rod 
Wilson,  easily  disposed  of  Garden  City 
on  Friday  for  their  eighth  straight  vic- 
tory. Wilson  potted  ten  points  in  the 
first   lour  minutes  and   went  on   to  rack 


up 


points  for  the  evening. 


Dodge  City's  potent  Conks  blasted 
the  Tiger  win  skein  the  following  night 
by  giving  the  Arks  their  second  defeat 
in  eleven  games  this  season.  The  Conks 
led  bv  only  two  points,  19-17,  at  the 
half-time  but  pulled  away  in  the  second 
half  to  remain  undefeated  in  loop  com- 
petition. 

Dodge  City  successfully  employed  a 
tight  zone  defense  which  stymied  the 
Tiger  offensive  attack.

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


Do  Your  Part  In  The 
March  of  Dimes 

It  may  not  be  so  hard  for  you  to  pass 
by  the  child  on  the  "March  of  Dimes" 
poster,  but  if  you  met  the  same  little 
boy  on  the  street  and  he  held  out  his 
hand,  looked  at  you,  and  said,  "Please, 
join  the  March  of  Dimes."  could  you 
refuse?  Could  you  turn  your  back  and 
walk  away  knowing  that,  because  of  you 
and  others  of  your  kind,  that  small 
child  might  never  walk  again? 

We  do  not  realize  the  importance  and 
the  significance  of  the  drive  for  dimes 
for  the  aid  of  those  afflicted  with  in- 
!  an  tile  paralysis.  We  do  not  realize 
what  it  is  like  to  lose  the  use  of  an 
arm  or  leg,  and  we  do  not  realize  how 
they  appreciate  every  penny  that  is 
given  to  help  fight  their  enemy.  If  it 
were  a  battle  in  which  we  fought  with 
planes  and  guns,  we  would  give  our 
ali.  Why  can't  we  give  more  for  the 
battle  for  health? 

What  if  lie  were  your  son  or  brother? 
Could  you  forget?  Remember  the  chil- 
dren who  are  saying,  "Please  join  the 
March  of  Dimes  that  I  might  walk 
again."    Remember    and    give. 

Bernyce  Deserves  A 
Cheer  for  Swell  Job 

Many  students  do  their  jobs  without 
pomp  and  glory  and  included  in  this 
thanks-deserving  group  is  Bernyce 
Thomas,  juco   freshman. 

Bernyce  volunteered  at  the  beginning 
of  the  year  to  be  the  finance  chairman 
for  the  student  council.  This  means  she 
is  chairman  of  the  concession  stand  and 
has  charge  of  the  ordering  of  the  pop 
and  candy  and  sees  that  the  stand  is 
open  at  all  games,  both  basketball  and 
football. 

Because  she  likes  this  type  of  work, 
she  was  chosen  finance  chairman  of  the 
pep  club  during  high  school  and  never 
saw  a  football  game  during  her  senior 
year.  Bernyce  also  never  saw  a  football 
game  this  year  because  it  5s  her  job  to 
remain   in    the   concession   stand. 

Bernyce  says  she  likes  to  work  with 
people  and  it  is  a  good  way  to  get 
acquainted  with  new  students.  Another 
of  her  duties  as  finance  chairman  is  to 
see  that  the  coke  machine  in  the  club- 
room  is  always  filled  and  working. 

Bernyce's  work  takes  a  lot  of  her 
lime  and  keeps  her  from  enjoying  the 
games  as  others  do.  so  to  her  the  juco 
students   express   their   appreciation. 


Hi  Gang!  Have  you  managed  to  re-

next  hour?"  When  she  assured  the 
person  that  her  next  hour  was  free, 
Rosemary  Crabtree,  the  late  Rose- 
mary Longshore,  asked  this  favor: 
"Please  take  me  home  in  our  car, 
I  think  the  meatloaf  is  burning."

Getting  lost,  joining  new  classes,  pay

of   college   life   in    Britain.    A   life   that's 
being  shared  by  several  hundred  Amer- 1 
icans — mostly     veterans — currently     at- 
tending English  universities. 

Living  and  studying  in  colleges  built 
before  Columbus  discovered  America, 
these  Yanks  are  enrolled  in  institutions 
ranging  from  Oxford  and  Cambridge  to 
the  Royal  Academy  of  Dramatic  Art  and 
the  Leathersellers'  Technical  College. 
And  according  to  Paul  Pearson,  report- 
ing on  college  life  abroad  for  Varsity, 
the  young  man's  magazine — Americans 
are  deeply  impressed  by  England's  sys- 
tem of  education. 

"Casual"  is  the  word  to  describe  the 
English  student,  says  Pearson.  He  is 
more  serious  than  his  American  coun- 
terpart (but  no  more  "eager"),  is  jolly 
without  being  a  back-slapper,  and  tends 
to  "talk  shop"  constantly.  Instead  of 
cheering  wildly  at  a  soccor  or  cricket 
game,  he  can  be  counted  on — in  cases 
of  extreme  excitement — to  say,  "Well 
done,    Cambridge!" 

Modest  and  quiet  application,  the 
Varsity  article  states,  is  the  keynote  of 
the  English  educational  method.  De- 
grees are  awarded  only  on  the  basis  of 
long  exams  given  at  the  end  of  two  or 
three  years  of  study.  Classes  are  op- 
tional, but  "tutors"  require  essays  at 
the  weekly  meeting  with  students,  and 
follow  these  with  long,  involved  dis- 
cussions. The  luxuries  of  breakfast  in 
your  room  are  countered  by  heavier  re- 
strictions on  leaving  the  college  area 
in  the  evenings  or  for  week-ends. 

Pearson  concludes  his  overseas  re- 
port to  Varsity  by  saying  that  English 
school  officials  expected  the  Americans 
to  act  like  "cowboys."  Instead,  he  de- 
clares, they  now  say:  "The  Yankees  are 
kind,  thoughtful,  and  quick  to  return 
hospitality.  And  their  personality  is 
second  to  none."

The  defending  western  division  cham- 
pion Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons  went 
down  io  a  sound  51-39  thumping  at  the 
hands  of  a  potent  Tiger  attack  in  a 
conference  fit   played  here  Dec.   19. 

'fhe  Tigers  showed  improved  play 
over  their  earlier  starts  and  led  nearly 
all  the  way  for  an  impressive  win  over

with  15  points  and  Rod  Wilson  with  13 
counters.  Bill  Clay  sank  eight  points

Interviewed  Over  KSOK 

The  Juco  Hour  which  was  presented 
January  ti  consisted  of  interviews  of 
special  pupils  in  the  junior  college  who 
are  attending  in  order  to  finish  courses 
which  were  once  started  and  never 
completed.  Those  interviewed  were  Mrs. 
Forrest  Haines  and  Mrs.  Gertrude  Beat- 
ty.  Mr.  A.  E.  Maag  quoted  the  comments 
of  Mrs.  Harry  Oldroyd  as  she  was  un- 
able to  attend.  Cora  Mae  Harris  was  in 
charge   of   the   interviewing. 

Mr.  Maag  was  questioned  about  the 
organization  of  the  radio  class  by 
Phyllis  Gossard.  He  explained  that  he 
had  always  been  interested  in  radio  and 
was  pleased  to  have  the  opportunity  to 
teach    it. 

Dean  K.  R.  Galle  told  of  several  new 
classes  which  will  be  offered  second

Grizzlies  Hand 
Tigers  Third 
Loss  of  Season 

The    El    Dorado    Grizzlies   handed    the 
Tigers    their    third    defeat    of    the    season 
by    a    41-35    score    in    a    western    confer- 
ence    contest     held     on     the     101     Dorado' 
court   Jan.   13. 

The    Grizzlies    jumped    into    an    early: 
15    to    4    lead    as    (lie    Arks    were    unable  I 
to  get  going.  With  speedster  Bob  Garcia 
pacing  the  attack,  the  101  Doradoans  led 
all    i  he   way   to   upset    the   favored    Ben- 
gals. 

Tiie  Tigers  narrowed  the  gap  on  sev- 
eral  occasions  but  were  unable  to  stay 
with  the  determined  Grizzlies.  The 
Bengals  had  previously  trounced  El 
Dorado  in  the  finals  of  the  Indepen- 
dence holiday  tournament  but  it  was 
a  different  story  on  the  Grizzlies'  home 
floor. 

The  Tigers  were  cold  from  the  field 
and  their  point  total  was  the  lowest 
output  for  the  Arks  on  a  foreign  court 
i  his   season. 

Bill  Claj  and  Bill  Mitchell  topped 
I  he  Tigers  in  scoring  wilh  nine  points 
apiece. 


Bengals  Lose 
In  Overtime 
With  Pratt 

The  Pratt  Beavers  handed  the  Tigers 
their  fourth  defeat  in  fourteen  starts 
in  an   overtime  period,   38   to  37. 

The  Bengals  started  the  game  in  good 
fashion  and  quickly  ran  up  a  12  to  5 
lead.    They    led    at    half-time    23-19. 

The  second  halt  moved  slowly  wilh 
the  Beavers  closing  the  gap  in  the  final 
minutes  and  with  two  seconds  to  play. 
a   desperate   long  shot   by   Reed   swished 


score    at    3  4-3  4. 
teams    into    an 


the  net,  knotting  tin 
and  sending  the  two 
overtime    period. 

With  90  seconds  left  in  the  overtime, 
the  Arks  held  a  slim  three  point  ad- 
vantage, but  two  quick  baskets  by  Lyle 
Radar  put  the  Beavers  ahead,  3S-37. 
the  only  time  they  were  ever  ahead  in 
the  entire  contest. 

The  Tigers  were  weakened  when  two 
regulars,  speedy  guard  Malcolm  Smith 
and  rebounding  Bill  Clay  left  the  game 
on   personal  fouls. 

The  Pratt  quintet  was  paced  by  Lyle 
Radar  with  IN  points  and  his  brother, 
Don,   with    13    points. 

Wilson,  Turner  and  Sneller.  with  13. 
S,  and  7  points  respectively,  led  the 
locals   in    scoring.

Board  Favors 
Expansion  at 
Curry  Field 

A  note  of  optimism  for  the  pro- 
posed expansion  of  seating  on  the  west 
side  of  Curry  Field  was  struck  Feb- 
ruary 2  at  the  meeting  of  the  school 
board.  At  the  meeting,  Dr.  Jerry  J. 
Vineyard,  superintendent  of  schools, 
was  also  unanimously  re-elected  to  a 
cwo-year  term  as   superintendent. 

Dr.  Vineyard  reported  to  the  board 
hat  an  investigation  had  revealed 
hat  the  proposed  expansion  could  be 
■ompleted  for  about  $  10,000,  plus  labor 
Wh'm  Dr.  Vineyard  said  how  estimate 
■ould  be  made  on  the  labor  cost,  Dr. 
n.  Claude  Young,  veteran  board  mem- 
ber, suggested  that  the  high  school 
and  junior  college  boys  might  be  will- 
ing to  help  on  the  project.. 

Atlhough  no  formal  action  was  taken 
after  a  small  rough-scale  model  of  the 
projec  was  exhibited,  the  board  mem- 
bers apparently  viewed  the  project 
with  considerable  more  optimism  than 
at  the  January  meeting  when  the  esti- 
mates appeared  far  to  exceed  the  ap- 
proximately $20,000  budgeted. 

Largely  favorable  discussion  was 
sneountered  when  a  high  school  stu- 
ient  council  request  for  some  form 
of  recreation  during  the  slack  noon 
time  after  lunch  and  before  classes 
reconvene.  Ivan  Upson  moved  that 
the  junior  college  students  be  included 
in  the  program  and  the  board  agreed. 
The  board  recommended  that  the  coun- 
cil work  out  a  program  covering  sev- 
eral types  of  entertainment  including 
athletic  events. 


Juco  Play 
To  Be  Given 
March  19 

A  three  act  comedy,  "The  Lilies 
of  the  Field",  to  be  presented  March 
19  in  the  junior  high  auditorium,  has 
been  selected  as  the  annual  junior 
college  play,  Miss  Pauline  Sleeth, 
speech  instructor,  announced  last  week. 

Eleven  characters  appear  in  the 
drama  most  important  of  whom  are 
he  twins,  Catherine  and  Elizabeth, 
who  receive  "unusual"  birthday  gifts 
from   Grandmother. 

"These  gifts  open  up  delightful 
opportunities  to  prove  the  ingenuity 
and  originality  of  each  girl  to  meet 

new    situations and — — of     course 

there  is  an  intriguing  love  story." 
says  Miss  Sleeth.  "It  is  unlike  any 
play  ever  given  by  the  Arkansas  City 
schools." 

Cast  members  had  not  been  chosen 
when  the  Tiger  Tales  went  to  press 
but  tryouts  for  the  parts  were  in  prog- 
ress. 

Junior  college  activity  tickets  will 
admit  juco  students  to  the  play.

"It's  bad  enough  to  be  in  a  deep 
dark  hole,  let  alone  have  to  strain 
your  eyes  to  see  what  you  are  doing." 

The  above,  is  a  statement  taken 
from  a  letter  placed  in  the  journalism 
box  urging  the  placing  of  flourescent 
lighting  in  the  juco  rooms,  especially 
the  study  hall,  labs,  and  club  room. 
Because  the  letter  was  not  signed, 
it  could  not  be  published,  but  it  should 
not  be  merely  thrown  away  and  for- 
gotten. 

Students  as  well  as  faculty  mem- 
bers deserve  good  lights  in  the  rooms 
in  which  they  read  and  write.  Several 
years  ago,  the  high  school  students 
began  a  campaign  for  better  lights 
in  their  rooms  and  last  year  a  flour- 
escent lighting  system  was  installed 
in  the  study  hall  and  library. 

No  one  can  deny  the  impi-ovement 
these  new  lights  made  in  those 
rooms — we  need  improvements  of  that 
type   down  here,  don't  we? 

Although  plans  are  underway  for 
a  new  junior  college  building,  it  is 
evident  that  this  cannot  be  achieved 
to  the  point  of  holding  classes  in  the 
new  building  for  some  time.  In  the 
meantime,  it  would  be  well  worth  the 
money  that  would  be  spent,  to  have 
a  little  more  light  on  the  subject  down 
here. 


Junior  has  been  working  on  a  new 
phonograph  needle  that  has  already 
broken  all  records. 


Three  former  students,  class  of  '47, 
are  frat  pledges  at  K-State.  They 
include  John  Hart,  Acacia;  Melville 
Marnix  and  Forrest  Musson,  Delta 
Sigma  Phi.

Hi,  you'all!  How  are  you  surviving

Speaking  of  the  weather,  it's  been 
perfect  for  skating  lately,  hasn't  it? 
Although  a  lot  of  us  have  been  skat- 
ing around  corners  on  our  unskatable 
bodies,  and  some  lucky  studes  have 
ice  skates  and  have  found  the  nearest 
ponds.  Seems  that  Georgia  Rahn  has 
had    some    very    sore    muscles!

The  halls  seem  kinda  lonely  lately, 
don't  they  without  the  shining  counte- 
nances of  Jean  and  Lynn  Smith,  Jim 
}oker,  Gerald  Feterolf  and  all  those 
ithers  who  are  not  with  us  this  seme- 
ster. Jean  and  Lynn  are  at  Washburn, 
you  know,  Jim  is  atO.U.  and  Gerald 
at  K.U.  However,  there  are  always 
those  who  have  joined  us  or  rejoined 
us  this  semester.  There's  Petty 
McVay,  Kathleen  Follett  and  the 
Maris  family,  to  mention  only  a  f?w.

an  alarm  clock  that  goes  off  like  an

school  on  time.  (Also,  then  Herb 
Thomson  wouldn't  need  those  two

Last  week  was  Sadie  Hawkin's 
week  in  the  high  school.  Bob  Brady 
was  arguing  with  Jeri  Acton  that  this

lege, and  therefore  she  should  take 
him  to  the  game  with  St.  John's.  Won-

Quintet  Faces 

El  Dorado  in 
Final  Tilt 

The  Orange  and  Black  quintet  have 
two  more  scheduled  games  this  sea- 
son. The  Tigers  travel  to  Coffeyville 
Feb.  20th  and  the  27th  bringing  the  El 
Dorado  Grizzlies  here  for  the  regular 
season  finale. 

In  early  season  games  the  Coffey- 
ville Red  Ravens  went  down  in  defeat 
in  an  overtime  with  the  Bengals  by  a 
32-31   margin. 

The  Grizzlies  and  the  locals  have 
split  a  game  apiece.  The  first  game, 
the  Speermen  defeated  the  El  Dorado 
live  in  the  finals  of  the  Independence 
Invitational  tournament  El  Dorado 
then  came  through  on  their  home 
court  to  give  the  Tigers  a  40-35  con- 
ference loss.

Speermen,  Lose 
To  Hutchinson, 
35-32,  There 

In  a  hard-fought  game  and  termed 
by  the  officials,  "one  of  the  cleanest  of 
the  season",  the  Hutchinson  Blue  Dra- 
gons defeated  the  Bengals  35-32  at 
Hutch  Friday,  Feb.  6. 

The  Tigers  defeated  the  Hutchinson 
quintet  in  easy  fashion  in  December, 
51-39,  but  the  home-court  jinx  still 
held  good  for  the  Dragons  as  the 
locals  dropped  in  only  4  out  of  9  free 
throws  while  the  Dragons  hit  7  of 
their  9  to  give  them  the  3  point 
margin. 

Both  teams  played  a  good  brand 
of  ball,  but  the  Speermen  were  un- 
able to  hit  the  hoop  as  consistantly 
as    the   Red   and   Blue. 

With  a  half-time  score  of  17-11 
the  Arks  came  back  strong  the  second 
half  but  were  unable  to  close  the  gap. 

Raines  paced  the  Dragon  attack 
with  13  points  while  his  running  mate 
Woodall,  hit  for  7  points. 

Bill  Clay  and  Rod  Wilson  netted  9 
apiece  for  the  locals  and  Joe  Berry  6.

Dean  K.R.  Galle  will  attend  the

El  Dorado  Cager 
Dies  on  Court 

Big  Jim  Frisby,  six  feet  seven  inch 
center  of  the  El  Dorado  Grizzlies, 
died  of  an  heart  attack  suffered 
during  a  practice  session  January  28. 

It  was  believed  by  a  physician 
that  death  occurred  instantly  upon 
his  collapse. 

Flowers  were  sent  by  the  Arkansas 
City  Junior  College  student  body  for 
the  funeral.  A  letter  of  sympathy 
from  the  student  council  was  sent  to 
the  student  body  of  the  El  Dorado 
Junior  College.

Cagers  Win 
Over  Johnnies, 
In  Close  Game 

The  Juco  Tigers  defeated  the  St. 
Johns  of  Winfield  by  a  narrow  44-42 
margin  here  February  4.  The  score 
being  identical  to  that  of  the  curtain 
raiser  for  both  teams  on  the  Johnnies 
home  court. 

The  locals  led  throughout  the  game 
until  the  final  minutes  of  play  when 
the  Eagles  tied  the  score.  With  two 
minutes  of  play  remaining,  Joe  Berry, 
Tiger  forward,  pushed  in  one  of  his 
5  baskets  to  give  the  Speermen  the 
2  point  edge.  The  Orange  and  Black 
then  stalled  for  the  remaining  seconds 
to   spell    victory. 

The  visitors  were  paced  by  Otce, 
the  Johnnie  center,  with  17  points 
while  Clay  and  Berry  led  the  Bengal 
attack  with  12  and  10  points  respec- 
tively.

Dodge  City  Downs 
Speermen  35-25 

Dodge  City  remained  at  the  top  of 
the  Western  divison  by  downing  the 
Tigers  35-25  here  Jan.  30.  The  Conks 
previously  defeated  the  Spearmen  49- 
37  during  the  Arks'  western  swing 
earlier  in  January. 

Dodge  City  led  all  the  way,  building 
up  a  19-12  halftime  margin.  The  en- 
tire Dodge  City  quintet  scored  well 
throughout  the  entire  game  while 
the  locals  offensive  out-put  was 
limited   by   a   tight   zone  defense. 

Bill  Clay  paced  the  Bengals  with 
9  points. 


Broncos  Fail 
To  Throw 
Juco  Tigers 

The  Garden  City  Broncos  failed  in 
their  second  attempt  to  throw  the  juco 
Tigers  when  the  Bengals  stuck  tight 
in  the  saddle  and  rode  home  to  an 
easy  47-36  victory  here  Jan.  31. 

The  Orange  and  Black  grabbed  an 
early  lead  and  had  little  trouble  in 
pulling  a  repeat  performance  of  an 
earlier  47-38  win  in  the  Bi-oncs'  home 
corral. 

Pirates  Win  on  Third  Try 
The  Independence  Pirates  eked  out 
a  39  to  37  win  over  Arkansas  City's 
Tigers,  Tuesday  night  at  Indepen- 
dence. The  Arks  had  won  two  pre- 
vious encounters  earlier  in  the  sea- 
son. 


Hitting  the  finest  offensive  form  of 
the  season  the  Tigers  poured  !n  SO 
points  the  first  half  and  led  30-1C  at 
the  intermission. 

The  entire  Tiger  squad  saw  action 
and  continued  to  score  until  the  final 
gun. 

Bill  Clay  again  paced  the  locals 
with  12  points  and  showed  his  re- 
bounding skill  throughout  the  game.

I  Square  Dancing 
Class  Is  Offered 

A  large  group  of  students  have 
signed  up  in  the  junior  college  office 
for  the  chance  to  learn  the  basic  steps 
of  square  dancing  to  be  taught  some 
evening  soon  by  Mr.  Walt  Fesler. 

The  idea  was  originated  after  the 
last  juco  social  when  it  was  necessary 
to  spend  time  learning  the  steps  be- 
fore the  dancing  could  actually  begin.

TAC's  Plan 
Campaign  To 
Sell  Emblems 

The  Tiger  Action  Club  has  launched 
a  campaign  to  sell  the  Tiger  head  em- 
blems which  were  ordered  for  the  club 
members  last  fall  to  be  sewn  on  the 
white   sweaters. 

The  student  council  advanced  the 
money  for  the  purchase  and  stands  to 
lose  a  rather  large  amount  if  the  club 
members  who  ordered  the  emblems  do 
not  buy  them. 

The  word  "Tijer",  however,  which 
was  to  have  been  worn  across  the  back 
of  the  sweaters  are  being  sold  at  a 
reduced  price  of  sixty  cents  for  sou- 
venirs,  or  for  pillow  top=*. 

They  are  available  to  any  student 
who  desires  them.  They  are  not  suit- 
able for  the  booker  organization  be- 
cause of  the  mistake  in  the  colors 
which  are  ynllow  and  black  instead  of 
the  Tigers'  traditional  orange  and 
black. 

Members  of  the  organization  are 
planning  to  arrange  a  system  in  which 
graduating1  sophomores  may  trade  the 
large  Tiger  head  for  a  smaller  emblem.

While  junior  college  students  ai"1 
anxiously  awaiting  the  first  stona  of 
the  junior  college  building,  the  juco 
building  committee  is  meeting  and 
laying  the  cornerstone  plans.  They  ar 
making  preliminary  arrangements  fer- 
tile building  for  which  the  local  citi 
zens  voted  almost  a  year  ago. 

Plans  are  progressing  and  a  ver- 
efficient  means  for  suggestions  i 
I  eing  used.  Former  junior  college  stu- 
dents in  all  walks  of  life  are  answer- 
ing questionnaires  concerning  then- 
needs  for  other  courses  and  the  aid 
junior  college  subjects  gave  them.  In 
addition,  an  industrial  survey  has  been 
made  to  determine  the  need  for  var- 
ious vocations  for  the  industries  of 
this   area. 

Althugh  nothing  definite  has  yet 
been  determined  by  these  surveys, 
the  committee  is  not.  at  a  standstill. 
Placement  of  the  rooms  so  the  band 
won't  disturb  the  history  lecture  cours  > 
is  being  studied  and  school  building 
regulations  are  being  carefully  fol- 
lowed.

Students  Hear  Recordings 
Of  Shakespeare's  Writings 


Recordings  of  William  Shake- 
speare's "Twelfth  Night"  or  "What 
You  Please"  were  presented  last  week 
for  the  English  literature  class  in- 
structed by  Pauline  B.  Sleeth. 

The  students  followed  the  records 
while  silently  reading  with  them  from 
books  The  "Mercury  Shakespeare" 
was  edited  for  reading  and  arranged 
for  staging  by  Orson  Wells  and  Roger 
Hill. 

Mr.  Welles  and  Mr.  Hill  believed 
that  although  few  students  have  the 
opportunity  of  seeing  Shakespearean 
plays  on  the  stage,  they  should  all 
have  the  chance  to  hear  the  plays 
through  records.  These  recordings  are 
one  of  the  methods  being  used  in  the 
schools  of  today  to  give  students  a 
better  knowledge  of  Shakespeare's 
writings. 

The  records  give  the  history  of 
the   way    the    play   was   written. 

The  cast  of  characters  included  the 
Narrator,  Orson  Welles;  Feste,  LcPoi 
Poerti;  Orsino,  George  Coulouris;  Cu- 
rio, William  Alland;  Viola,  Jane  Gor- 
don; and  the  Sea  Captain,  John  A. 
Villard.  Eustace  Wyatt  presented  the 
part  of  Toby;  Elizabeth  Farrar  played 
Maria;  Will  Greer  gave  the  part  of 
Sir  Andrew  Aquecheek;  and  Orso^ 
Welles  protrayed  Malval'o  Other  char- 
acters included  Oliva,  Phyllis  Joyce; 
Antonio,  Erskfne  Sanford;  the  officer. 
Richard  Wilson;  and  the  Priest,  Ed- 
gerton  Paul.  The  music  was  arranged 
and  presented  by  Marc  Blitzstein. 

French  Club  Holds 
Discussion  Meeting1 

A  discussion  meeting  of  the  French 
Club  was  held  February  4  in  the  club- 
rooms. 

The  group  discussed  the  next  pack- 
age to  be  sent  to  the  French  boy.  Th1 
assembly  program  in  which  the  clu1) 
will  participate  was  also  discussed. 
Miss  Hawley  told  a  story  in  French 

Refreshments    were    served    by    th 
host  and  hostesses,  Filson  Day,  Nadme 
Johnson,    and   Ann    Roehl. 

Ann  Roehl,  the  club's  new  president, 
conluc^ed  the  business  meeting.  Sh1 
was  formerly  a  vice-president  and 
replaces  Jeanne  Smith,  who  trans- 
ferred   to    Washburn    at    mid-yeai. 


The  album,  including  16  records, 
was  recorded  by  Mercury  Text  Re- 
cords, Columbia  Phonograph  Com- 
pany and  is  the  property  of  the  col- 
lege. 

Upon  completion  of  their  present 
project,  the  class  plans  to  study  "The 
Tradegy  of  Macbeth",  an  album  of  18 
records  owned  by  Miss  Sleeth. 


Paper  Returns  # 
To  School  Shop 
For  Printing 

The  Tiger  Tales  have  come  home! 
With  the  addition  of  Kenneth  Rhodes, 
Paul  Meyer,  and  Bud  Chaplin  to  the 
staff,  the  printing  of  the  juco  paper 
is  now  under  way  in  the  school  print 
shop  instead  of  hiring  the  work  done 
by  the  Traveler  Publishing  Company, 
as  was  dony  last  semester. 

With  ink  on  their  fingers  and  doubts 
in  their  minds,  the  b^ys  labor  away  in 
the  shop  to  get  the  juco  paper  out  on 
time.  When  they  run  out  of  copy,  one 
of  them  dashes  to  the  journalism 
office,  grabs  any  story  in  sight,  and 
shoots  it  to  Kenny,  the  linotype 
operator. 

From  here  the  copy  goes  back  to 
the  staff  "upstairs"  for  proof  reading. 
After  a  few  subtractions,  additions, 
and  insertions,  it  goes  back  to  Bud 
and  Paul  for  make-up  and — at  last, 
the   printed   paper.

Tomorrow  night  brings  the  curtain 
down  on  the  Juco's  regular  basketball 
season.  The  El  Dorado  Grizzlies  travel 
here  for  a  conference  tilt.  The  Tigers 
have  split  two  games  with  the  Grizz- 
lies, the  first  being  a  win  in  the  finals 
of  the  Independence  Invitational 
Tourney,  and  the  second  at  El  Dorado 
for  a  conference  loss. 

Five  Speerman  will  don  the  Orange

Melvin  Frizzell.  These  players  will

March  1  to  6  in  the  Wichita  Form.  A 
full  team  bracket  is  expected  for  the 
annual  classic  including  several  Juco 
teams. 


Small  Pox  Shots 
Are  "New  Look" 

"OUCH!!    That's   my   sore   arm!" 

More  than  a  few  long  faces  and 
pained  expressions  resulted  from  .the 
announcement  last  week  that  all  stu- 
dents in  junior  high  school,  senior  high 
school  and  junior  college  who  hadn't 
been  vaccinated  in  the  last  three  years 
for    smallpox    must   "get  the    works". 

The  students  who  had  never  been 
or  could  not  remember  of  being  vac- 
cinated for  the  disease  suffered  many 
horrible  visions  of  what  it  might  be 
like.  Huge  needles  and  grimacing  doc- 
tors were  visioned  as  the  students 
stood  in   line   awaiting  the   inevitable. 

After  the  nearly  painless  ordeal 
was  over  relieved  students  could  be 
heard  saying  "Oh,  I  wasn't  even 
scared".  Now  a  week  later  many  of  the 
students  are  more  than  a  little  care- 
ful about  bumping  their  arms  or  get- 
ting them  bumped. 

Of  course  teachers  as  well  as  those 
people  who  are  taking  special  college 
course  are  among  those  with  sore  arms 
and  many  grade  school  students  will 
be  since  the  vaccination  was  to  have 
been    offered    to   them    this    week.

Mid-year  Grad 
Writes  from  K  U 

Gerald  Fetteroff,  mid-year  grad- 
uate, who  is  now  attending  the  Uni- 
versity of  Kansas  has  written  a  letter 
jisking  that  his  name  be  placed  on 
the  Tiger  Tales'  mailing  list. 

Fetterolf  is  enroled  for  20  hours 
credit,  taking  eight  hours  of  journal- 
ism, three  hours  of  economics,  five 
hours  of  Spanish,  and  western  civili- 
zation  which  requires  no  class  time._ 

Fetterolf  was  forced  to  dip  tempor- 
arily into  personal  funds  to  buy  his 
books, since  his  case  file  from  the 
Veterens'  Administration  was  not 
transferred  prior  to  enrollment  at  KU. 
He  is  awaiting  reimbursements,  he 
writes.  His  address  is  411  Lane  3  Sun-

Students  Entertained 
With  Spanish  Pinata 

A  Spanish  pinata  was  enjoyed  at 
the  meeting  of  the  junior  college 
Spanish  Club  Monday  evening  in  the 
elubrooms.  The  game  consists  of  a 
lfirge  bag  full  of  prizes  which  the  con- 
testants attempt  to  break,  and  once  it 
is  broken,  each  person  receives  a  prize. 

Dick  Kelley  presented  an  Argentine 
dance  and  Patsy  Sheldon  gave  a 
report  on  Argentine  art  in  keeping 
with  the  club's  study  of  Argentina.

What  are  you  getting  out  of  col- 
lege? Are  you  getting  your  (or  your 
dad's)    money's   worth? 

If  the  answer  is  no,  that  is  no  one's 
fault  but  yours!  The  opportunities 
are  placed  here  before  you  and  if  you 
do  not  have  the  energy,  the  desire,  and 
finally  attain  these  higher  goals,  you 
have  no  one  but  yourself  to  blame. 

There  are  the  few  (  ? )  who  believe 
that  college  is  only  for  popularity, 
fun,  and  loafing  on  someone  else's 
time.  But  where  are  these  students 
going  to  find  themselves  a  few  years 
from  now  ? 

College  can  give  you  greater  know- 
ledge, greater  opportunities,  and  a 
greater  life-if  you  let  it.  Don't  lay 
books  aside  for  every  little  thing  that 
happens  to  come  along.  Many  times 
more  beautiful  things  can  be  found  in 
books  than  in  a  short,  snappy  drive 
around  the  block  with  a  carload  of 
kids. 

Studying  and  learning  is  not  some- 
thing that  can  always  be  put  off  un- 
til tomorrow.  That  tomorrow  may 
never  come. 

Think  it  over.  Are  you  getting 
everything  you  should  from  college? 
If  not,  why  ?

Juco  Guys  Make    Furniture 
With  Eye  to  Future 


Every  morning  a  class  of  juco  boys 
can  be  found  in  the  shops  with  ham- 
mers, saws  and  paint  making  furni- 
ture with  an  eye  on  the  future.  These 
boys  are  enrolled  in  woodwork  and  are 
instructed  by  Forrest  Haines. 

The  average  student  probably 
doesn't  realize  that  right  here  in 
ACJC  home  furnishings  are  being 
planned,  assembled,  and  finished  for 
use  in  present  or  future  homes  as  the 
case  may  be. 

To  give  examples  of  what  is  being 
done  by  this  class  Warren  and  Ervin 
Work  are  making  a  breakfast  set  of 
table  and  chairs.  Warren  is  making 
the  chairs  and  Ervin  made  the  table. 

A  walnut  chest  of  drawers  with 
birds-eye  maple  inlay  made  by  Max 
Abramms  is  now  in  the  last  stages  of 
completion  while  Avery  Johnson  is 
finishing  an  oak  book  case.  Also  in  the 
finishing  process  in  a  round  coffee 
table  made  by  Bill  Swain  which  is  to 
have  a  glass  top. 


Others  larger  projects  are  a  modem 
kneehole  desk  which  is  being:  made  by 
Merton  Darnell  and  a  ceder  chest 
being  made  by  Phil  Baruch.  Jess 
Wentworth  is  one  of  the  students 
working  on  a  project  for  his  present 
home.  Jess  is  making  a  play  pen  for 
his  young  son,  "but  his  youngster  will 
be  old  enough  to  help  him  when  he 
finishes  it,"  added  Mr.  Haines. 

Other  projects  well  on  their  way 
are  a  walnut  vanity  chair  being  made 
by  Max  Burks,  a  walnut  magazine 
table  being  made  by  Harold  Bradford 
and  a  table  lamp  now  being  finished 
by  Bob  Parker. 

All  this  activity  is  centered  around 
the  shops,  which  are  located  in  the 
junior  high  school  basement,  amid  the 
the  screech  of  saws,  the  rasp  of  sand- 
paper, and  he  clatter  of  hammers. 

Down  there  they  make  their 
drawers  and  build  their  chests.  This 
bunch  of  boys  even  shape  their  legs. 


Juco  Group  to 
Forensic  Tilt 
At  St.  John's 

Eight  local  juco  students  will  re- 
present Arkansas  City  at  the  St. 
John's  forensic  tournament  which  will 
be  held  Friday,  March  12  and  the  de- 
bate tournament  there  to  be  held 
Saturday,   March   13. 

Those  entering  will  be  Ann  Roehl, 
dramatic  reading;  Janell  Estep,  poetry 
reading  and  Bible  reading;  Lyndon 
Howard,  original  oratory;  Jim  Austin, 
standard  oratory;  Cora  Mae  Harris, 
standard  oratory;  and  Robert  Adams, 
book  review.  The  debate  team  will  be 
Ronald  Holredge  and  Norman  Byers. 

The  group  will  be  accompanied  by 
A.  E.  Maag,  forensics  instructor.

German  Club  Plans 
For   Future   Meetings 

A  list  of  hosts  and  hostesses  for 
future  meetings  was  formed  at  the 
meeting  of  the  German  club  Tuesday 
evening,    February   24th. 

Plans  were  made  for  future  pro- 
grams and  a  contribution  was  made 
toward  the  postage  on  overseas  pack- 
ages. 

German  songs  were  sung  as  well 
as  some  amusing  translations  of  pop- 
ular songs  into  German.  Preparations 
were  made  for  a  quiz  program  and  for 
the  production  of  a  play.

French  Club  Holds 

Entertainment  Meeting 

An  entertainment  meeting  of  the 
French  Club  was  held  March  3rd  in 
the  junior  high  music  room  and  the 
junior  college  clubrooms. 

The  group  sang  French  songs  and 
played  a  French  musical  game.  Other 
French  games  were  played. 

Miss  Anre  Hawley,  sponsor,  read 
a  letter  from  a  French  boy  to  whom 
the  group  has  been  sending  packages.

Spanish  Club  Meets 
At  Flannery  Home 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Spanish 
Club  was  he'd  February  23  at  the  home 
of  the  president,  Jean  Flannery. 

Plans  for  the  future  meetings  were 
made. 

An  interesting  report  on  Spanish 
literature  was  given  by  Bill  Ramsey. 
Patsy  Sheldon,  Jean  Flannery  and 
Miss  Anne  Hawley  read  several  Span- 
ish poems.  Mrs.  Esther  Truax  played 
some  Spanish  records. 


Authors 
Speak  In  Juco 
Assemblies 

Dr.  Christopher  Norburg  of  Norway 
wil  speak  to  the  junior  college  on 
March  18th.  His  speech  will  probably 
deal  with  either  the  European  or  in- 
ternational  situation. 

Dr.  Norburg  is  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Oslo  in  Norway  and 
recently  wrote  the  book,  "Operations 
Mr  scow". 

He  is  now  on  leave  of  absence  from 
the  University  of  Minnisota  where 
he   is    a    professor. 

Anna  Bird  Stewart,  poet,  author, 
and  teller  of  tales  for  children  was 
scheduled  to  appear  in  Arkansas  City 
March  9th  and  10th.  She  spoke  to  the 
junior  college  students  at  their  regular 
assembly  time,  Wednesday  morning. 

Miss  Stewart,  who  writes  for  news- 
papers and  magazines,  has  traveled 
all  over  the  United  States,  parts  of 
England,  Scotland,  France,  Canada, 
Ireland,  Holland,  Germany,  Italy,  and 
Corsica. 


Meet  Mr.  Ed 

An  Arkansas  City  "native  son"  is 
this  week's  Mr.  Ed — Ted  Templar. 
Born  here  September  27,  1929,  this 
six  foot  one  inch  freshman  has  lived 
in  A.  C.  all   those  18  years. 

With  brown  hair,  and  eyes  and  long 
eyelashes  (he  adds),  Ted's  favorite 
color  is  "anything  soft."  He  likes  "any- 
thing but  a  redhead." 

A  perfect  evening  according  to  Ted 
is  to  take  his  date,  a  girl  with  under- 
standing and  not  set  in  her  ways,  go 
with  a  crowd,  enjoy  a  good  show,  Bar- 
B-Q's,  and  be  home  early  so  he  can 
go  to  work  at  the  Kanotex  the  next 
day.  His  hobby,  incidentally,  is  throw- 
ing parties. 

Other  favorites  include  food,  any- 
thing sweet;  pastime,  sleeping;  song, 
"If  I'm  Lucky;"  and  movie  star,  Rita 
Hayworth,   "his    six  feet  of  TNT." 

Enrolled  in  "the  easiest,"  a  liberal 
arts  course,  when  he  graduates,  Ted 
wants  "to  be  a  man"  and  go  "anyplace 
that  will  hive  me"  for  his  last  two 
years  of  college.  He  proclaims  that 
his  easiest  subject  is  history. 

Ted  would  like  to  go  into  the  insur- 
ance business  but  we  noted  a  bit  of  the 
family's  politics  in  his  voice  as  he  left 
us  saying,  "Tell  all  the  vets  to  vote 
for  my  dad!"

Arks  Lose  to 
El  Dorado 
In  Tourney 

The  Tigers  who  attended  the  State 
AAU  Basketball  Tournament  in  Wi- 
chita March  1-6  dropped  their  quarter- 
final game  to  the  El  Dorado  juco 
quintet  by  a  50-48  margin. 

Monday,  March  1  brought  the  locals 
and  the  Sedgwick  Legion  together  for 
the  first  round  of  play.  The  Speermen 
garnered  a  lead  in  the  early  minutes 
of  play  and  never  relinquished  it 
throughout  the  remainder  of  the  game. 
The  final  score  was  37  to  31.  Rod 
Wilson  led  the  scoring  with  20  points. 

Winning  this  gam?  gave  the  Tigers 
the  right  to  meet  the  Hutchinson  Le- 
gion sparked  by  Harold  Raines  and 
Dick  Woodall.  Hutchinson  juco  stars, 
W'  dnesday   March   3. 

The  Bengals  played  a  good  and  de- 
liberate brand  of  ball  to  defeat  the  fa- 
v  red  Hutchinson  five  by  a  score  of 
27  to  25.  Jim  Turner  paced  the  Arks 
with  seven  points  to  take  scoring 
honors  for  the  evening. 

The  following  night,  Thursday 
March  6.  brought  together  the  Orange 
and  Black  and  the  El  Dorado  Juco  in 
which  the  Grizzlies  edged  th"  locals  by 
a  two  point  margin,  50  to  48. 

Joe  Berry  spearheaded  the  Arks' 
attack  with  16  points.  Kjhjassman 
tallied   19    points   for   the  victors. 

This  p.ired  the  El  Dorado  quin-

edged  th"  Purple  and  Gold  out  by  a

A.n-eriean  Legion  defeated  the  Wich- 
ita five  48  to  47  for  the  State  AAU

first  r-all  for  the  oncoming  track  sea-

to    another   sucessful    season. 

A  bright  outlook  is  forseen  as  the 
locals  will  have  an  outstanding  half 
miler  Malcolm,  to  spark  the  Tiger 
cindermen  through  the  season. 

Besides  Smith,  other  returning  let-

Sports  Writers 
Choose  All-Stars 

For  the  benefit  of  all  the  fans  who 
attended  the  recent  state  AAU  tour- 
ney at  the  Wichita  Forum,  won  by 
the  Galva  American  Legion,  the  Tiger 
Talcs  sports  writers  have  selected  an 
all-star  team  that  is  sure  to  meet 
everyone's   approval.    Here    it    is: 

At  the  two  forward  spots,  we  have 
chosen  U.S.  Grant  and  Udell  Grant; 
at  center  we  have  Udell  S  Grant;  at 
the  guard  posts,  we  selected  two  boys 
from  Galva,  Uclie  Grant  and  U.  Grant 
These  five  boys  were  given  stiff  com- 
petition for  a  first  team  position  by 
Galva's  S.  Grant.  (In  other  words, 
the   boy's   good!)

Blind  Artist 
Gives  Concert 

Pierce  Knox,  noted  /blind  xvlo- 
phonist,  presented  a  group  of  numbers 
in  a  junior  colege  assembly  April  8. 

Included  in  the  program  w°r"  "Hun- 
garian Rhapsody",  "Always",  "Smoke 
Gets  In  Your  Eyes",  and  a  number 
which  included  what  Mr.  Knox  termed 
"a  little  bit  of  everything  from  bebop 
to  boogie". 

Knox,  who  plays  the  most  difficult 
music  on  one  of  the  most  difficult  in- 
struments, achieved  his  skill  after 
many  years  of  practice.  He  was  ac- 
companied at  the  piano  by  Jack  Tan- 
ner, who  travels  with  him. 

A  book  printed  in  Braille  was  shown 
to  the  students  and  a  collection  was 
taken  for  the  printing  of  other  books 
and  magazines  for  the  blind. 


Tigerama  of  '48 
Is  Underway 

"The  S.S.  Tigerama  has  been 
launched!  The  voyage  of  '48  is  under- 
way!" 

Tonight  the  Arkansas  City  Junior 
College  is  host  to  the  seniors  from 
various  towns  and  the  local  high  school 
at  the  traditional  Tigerama,  the  an- 
nual reception  for  seniors. 

The  Tigerama  was  first  instituted 
in  April,  1930,  when  entertainment 
took  the  form  of  a  musical  revue 
held  in  the  junior  high  auditorium. 
Guests  of  the  college  for  the  first  year 
were  the  local  senior  class.  Chilocco, 
Wellington,  Geuda  Springs,  Oxford, 
and  Newkirk. 

Through  the  years  the  classes  have 
presented  themes  like  'On  Deck," 
"Tennis  Meet,"  "Stardust,"  and  "Can- 
dyland."  Each  year  the  guest  list  has 
enlarged  a  bit  and  every  party  has 
been  a  little  better  than  the  previous. 

This  evening  as  the  guests  enter 
the  main  floor  they  board  the  "S.  S. 
Tigerama"  for  an  evening  of  dancing 
and  entertainment.  The  ship's  dancing 
music  is  furnished  by  Tom  Ward  and 
his   Tomcats. 

Arrangements  for  the  trip  were 
made  by  the  student  council  and  the 
social  committee  with  Mike  Justice 
chairman.  The  purpose  of  the  Tiger- 
ama is  to  introduce  high  school  sen- 
iors of  Arkansas  City  and  neighbor- 
ing towns  to  the  faculty,  students, 
and  procedure  of  the  local  junior 
college. 

During  intermission,  the  decks  will 
be  filled  with  dancers  and  singers 
from  various  countries,  showing  the 
array  of  travelers  and  employers  a- 
board  ship.  With  Captain  Robert  N. 
Adams  in  command,  the  program  will 
begin  with  speeches  by  the  Admiralty, 
Supt.  Jerry  J.  Vineyard  and  Dean  K. 
R.  Galle.  "The  Sailor's  Hornpipe"  will 
be  presented  by  Ann  Roehl  and  Peggy 
Sulivan.  The  Torch  Singer  from  the 
Torrid  Zone,  Cora  Mae  Harris,  follows, 
singing  "Can't  Help  Loving  That  Man 
of  Mine."  "The  Apache,"  a  dance  by 
Janell  Estep  and  Robert  Cox  will  be 
followed  by  Commander  Hinchee's 
Chorus  singing  "You  Are  Free"  and 
"The  Woodchuck  Song."  The  Irish 
Jig  will  be  presented  by  Peggy  Sul- 
livan, A  Jewel  from  Ireland,  and  a 
chorus  of  six.  Ronald  Holdredge, 
Glenn  Burns,  Don  Glasgow,  and  Keith 
Lewis  compose  The  Bluejacket  Quar- 


tet who  will  sing  "After  You've  Gone," 
"Aloha  Oe,"  and  "Carolina  Moon.' 

Kathleen  Follett  will  give  an 
Hawaiian  dance  to  'Aloha   Oe." 

The  Harem  from  Bagdad,  Jeri 
Acton,  Ann  Roehl,  Janell  Estep,  and 
Virginia  Banks  will  be  followed  by 
the  curtain  number  "iManana"  by 
Cora   Mae   Harris. 

In  charge  of  the  committees  were 
Phil  Parker,  decorations,  and  Nadine 
Johnson  and  Ethel  Harvey,  refresh- 
ments. Sponsors  are  Henrietta 
Courtright  and  P.  M.  Johnson.  The 
Tigerama  was  under  the  direction  of 
the  Social  Committee  and  the  Stu- 
dent Council. 

The  receiving  line  consists  of  Mr. 
irid  Mrs.  Jerry  J.  Vineyard,  Dean  and 
Mrs.  K.  R.  Galle,  Mike  Justice,  Jim 
Turner,  the  student  council  president. 

Miss  Anne  Hawley  is  in  charge  of 
the  cloak  room  with  high  school 
assistants,  Noami  Clark,  Donna  Hill, 
Mary  Hollingsworth,  Barbara  Was- 
son,  Sally  Elliot,  and  Belva  Tipton.

ren were  the  juco  girls  who  supervised 
the  check  room.

by  their  sponsors  to  serve  on  the  re- 
freshment committee  were  Donna 
Chapin,  Marion  Chapman,  Jane  De 
Vore,  Joyce  Miller,  Jean  McGinnis,

Rapid 

€?33:c  'iit  th,  C* 


By  Tom  Copeland 

Within  the  rast  two  vears  the  -pro- 
gress of  the  Arkansas  City  Junior,'; Col- 
lege has  been  increasingly  rapid. 

:  The  end  of  the  war  brought  the  vet- 
erans back  home,  ready  to  begin  or 
continue  their  ccjllege  education.;  With 
the  influx  of  so  many  new  students 
the  enrollment  has  increased  tremen- 
dously, requiring  class  ■  re-arrange- 
ments, and  in  some  cases,  causing  the 
over-crowding    of    classrooms. 

ACJC  was  growing  by  such  leaps 
and  bounds  that  school  officials  began 
casting  about  anxious  looks  for  more 
snace.  The  possibility  of  a  new  trade 
school  and  junior  college  building  was 
realized  when,  on  April  8,  1947,  a  bond 
issue  was  voted  on.  The  citizens  of 
/rl-ansas  City,  aware  of  the  impor- 
tance of  a  bigeer  and  better  junior 
college,  voted  "Yes".  It  was  necessary 
that  there  be  a  .delay  in  construction 
to  await  a  decrease  in  building-ma- 
terial prices,  but  the  site  is  being 
cleared    and   prepared. 

The  board  of  education  is  hopeful 
that  the  new  building  will  be  suf- 
ficient to  accomodate  the  present  stu- 
dent  body  pnd  those  forthcoming  in 
the  future.  With  a  newly-constructed 
junior  college,  however,  and  an  ex- 
panded trade  school,  it  is  to  be  expec- 
ted that  there  be  a  still  ereater  in- 
crease in  the  •  student  body  which  is 
present   today. 

The  greater  choice  of  courses  and 
subjects  has  'brought  a  livelier  degree 
of  interest  from  local  and  out-of-town 
aspirants.  The  courses  offered  are: 
Pre-Business.  Pre-Business  Adminis- 
tration, Pre-Dental,  Pre-Engineering, 
Pre-Home  Economics,  Pre-Law,  Pre- 
Medic,  and  Liberal  Arts.  The  pre-en- 
gineering  course  claimed  the  largest 
enrollment  in  1946-47,  and  an  addition 
of  a  course  in  "flying,"  available  also 
for  veterens  under,  the  G.  I.  Bill -of 
Rights,  brought  forth  many  appli- 
cants. 


Shin  Ahoy!  Greetings  Troiri  "the"  Tig- 
er Tales  staff  to  all  of  you  on  board 
the  S.S.  Tigerama  tonight.  It  looks 
like  a  great  voyage.

The  scene  above  is  a  typical  shot  of 
the  junior  college  clubroom.  Located 
in  the  college  basement,  this  room 
doubles  as  a  game  room,  study  hall,  or 
as  a  place  to  relax.  All  through  the  day 
there  echos  from  this  room  the  sounds 


of  a  ping  pong  game  in  progress,  or

Home  Economies 
Reviewed  for 
Prospective  Pupils 

By    Iris    Rahn,  j.c.   '47 

"Mmnimm — what  is  that  wonderful 
.rnell?"  That,  dear  people  is  coming 
crom  the  college  foods  class.  See  that 
iretty  dress  down  the  hall  ?  That  also 
is  a  product  of  the  juco  home  eco- 
lomics  classes. 

Ah  yes,  the  junior  college  offers 
seven  different  courses  of  home  eco- 
lomies.  They  are  foods,  clothing,  ele- 
nentavy  design,  costume  design,  in- 
ferior d^cor^tion,  child  care  and  home 
ind  family  living. 

The  instructor  f«r  all  these  inter- 
esting courses  is  Miss  Olive  Moore. 

Most  of  these  courses  are  considered 
"essential"  to  the  modern  home-maker 
:o-be.  Home  and  family  living-  for 
nstance  is  described  as,  "  a  prepara- 
ion  for  marriage  and  parenthood  and 
eccessary  adjustments  involved  in  the 
uilding  of  a  home".  Now  doesn't  that 
Dund  interesting? 

A  prospective  j.c.  student  may  ask, 
What  do  you  do  in  the  clothing  class 
■esicies  sew"  ?  As  the  little  book  de- 
cribes  it,  "this  course  is  a  study  of 
he  factors  which  influence  the  in- 
ividual  in  the  selection  and  purchase 
f  clothing,  textile  fabrics,  the  testing 
if  sewing  ability,  learning1  how  to 
»uy,  and  planning  the  clothing  bud- 
;et."  Satisfied? 

The  quickest  way  to  a  man's  heart 

s  through  his  s+omach this  state- 

nent  is  thoroughly  believed  by  the 
uco  foods  students.  From  the  way 
hey  hang  around  the  door  waiting 
'or  a  hand-out  when  the  class  is  cook- 
ng,  this  statement  has  been  proven 
nany   times. 

As  for  the  other  home  economics 
'.ubjtcfs  in  B.U.  ,  all  I  can  say  is  that 
hey  speak  for  themselves. 

The  local  horre  economics  depart- 
ment could  be  and  will  be  expanded 
vhen  we  get  the  new  junior  college 
nade.  In  this  new  building,  many  mod- 
rn  conveniences  are  to  be  installed, 
ind  therefore  there  will  probably  be 
nore  subjects  offered  along  this  line 
;han  there  is  now. 

In  this  building,  as  the  late  Dorothy 
Nichols  planned,  there  will  be  a  big 
:omfortable  room  in  whic'i  the  girls 
nay  hold  style  reviews  a"d  exhibits 
of  the>  products.  Miss  Nichols  was 
the  former  teacher  of  home  economics 
in  both  junior  college  and  hi^h  school. 

The  facilities  of  the  junior  college 
and  high  school  home  economics  de- 
partment are  now  combined  and  are 
badly  cramped.  When  the  new  junior 
College  is  finished,  they  will  have  a 
chance    to    expand    and    improve. 


The  debate  team  made  a  trip  to 
Tonkawa,  March  5  where  they  entered 
two  debates.  The  team  was  accom- 
panied by  A.  E.  Maag,  debate  coach.

English  Courses 
Are  Valuable 
To  All  Students 

No  one  can  learn  the  English  lan- 
guage too  well  and  English  courses 
are  always  an  asset  in  any  occupation. 

Miss  Pauline  B.  Sleeth  and  Miss 
Virginia  Weisgerber  instruct  all  the 
English  courses  in  the  junior  college, 
courses  which  include  Rhetoric  and 
composition,  English  literature,  and 
public  speaking. 

Rhetoric  and  composition,  a  re- 
quired subject,  is  a  three  hour  course 
in  which  students  study  the  writings 
of  other  people  and  learn  to  write 
compositions  and  term  papers.  Each 
year  two  books  are  studied  and  "Lord 
Jim"  was  one  of  the  books  presented 
to  the  classes  this  year. 

The  annual  junior  college  play  is  a 
project  of  the  speech  classes.  This 
year's  play  was  "Lilies  of  the  Field," 
a  three  act  comedy  highly  acclaimed 
by  many.  The  speech  students  have 
a  club,  the  Dinner  Club,  which  meet- 
in  the  evenings  and  gives  the  students 
a  chance  to  present  their  work  out- 
side of  class.  All  principles  of  publi  • 
speaking  are  learned  and  practiced 
in  this  class. 

English  Literature  is  a  two  houi 
course  in  which  the  works  of  many 
English  authors  are  studied,  giving 
the  students  a  better  understanding 
of  the  English  style  of  writing.  This 
year's  classes  studied  such  works  as 
"Canterbury  Tales,"  "Twelfth  Night," 
and  "Macbeth,"  also  essays  by  Emer- 
son, Lamb,  Galsworthy,  Santayana, 
and  many  others. 

English  courses  are  important  to 
every  student  and  should  be  included 
in    any    type    of    course.

Collectors   Galle, 

Curry  Seek  Coins 

"Any  old  coins  to  sell?  Any  old 
coins  to  sell?" 

At  the  mere  mention  of  a  "rare  coin" 
or  an  "old  piece"  the  ears  of  Amos 
Curry,  Athletic  Director,  and  K.  R. 
Galle,  Dean  of  the  College,  perk  up  and 
burn  with  interest. 

These  two  men,  both  collectors  of  old 
and  rare  coins,  have  long  had  a  mania 
for  this  type  of  money.  They  buy, 
order,  and  trade  coins  which  are 
promptly  added  to  their  already  large 
collections. 

Collectors  Curry  and  Galle  really 
work  for  their  money.  For  instance, 
they  can  always  be  found  at  the  foot- 
ball and  basketball  games  checking  all 
the  coins  turned  in,  occasionally  find- 
ing a  "relic."  They  carry  specially 
equipped  magnifying  glasses  to  ex- 
amine the  money  and  although  they 
go  home  empty  handed  sometimes, 
the  next  time  they  may  find  as  many

JUCO  Hour  Features 
All  Phases  of  School  Life 


The  Junior  College  Hour  is  on  the 
rir!  The  group  above  is  broadcasting 
<~ne  of  the  weekly  Juco  Hour  program. 
They  are,  left  to  right,   Bob   Larson, 


n'iiiard    r^ai'lowe,    Roy    Hadley,    and 
Phyllis    Gossard.    The    radio    class    is 

I  under    the    supervision    of    Mr.    A.E. 

'Maag. 


"This  is  your  JUCO  Hour!" 

Such  is  the  announcement  over 
station  KSOK  each  Tuesday  daring 
the  school  year,  for  that's  the  time 
set  aside  for  the  junior  college's  own 
urogram  of  news  and  views  from  the 
basement  campus. 

Every  week  brings  something  new 
and  different  as  planned  by  the  radio 
class  under  the  direction  of  A.  E. 
Maag.  During  the  year,  all  depart- 
ments of  the  school  are  represented 
on  the  program. 

The  college  chorus  apnears  with  a 
musical  program  soon,  while  the  Eng- 
lish classes,  athletic  department  and 
speech  derirtment  have  shared  in  the 
radio  spotlight. 


The  program  planners  attempt  to 
cover  every  phase  of  school  activi- 
ties. Classroom  seens  have  been  de- 
picted, one  program  was  devoted  to 
poetry,  the  Christian  Association 
officals  have  appeared- _all  on  the 
JUCO  Hour. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year,  mem- 
bers of  the  administration  were  intro- 
duced and  interviewed. 

At  a  regular,  assembly  program,  a 
pre-broadcast  of  the  school  program 
was  presented  and  the  students  got  a 
"behind  the  mike"  view  of  the  broad- 
cast. 

During  classtime,  the  students  re- 
view and  investigate  the  influence  of 
radio  on  the  lives  of  tse  listeners. 


Science  Offer 

To  Rise  Via  1 


Do  you  desire  to  rise  to  great 
heights  on  a  test  tube?  Have  .you 
ever  wanted  to  know  the  inner  work- 
ings of  those  plants  in  your  gardens? 
To  be  able  to  use  a  compound  micro- 
scope correctly?  If  so,  science  is  the 
field,  and  this  knowledge  and  much 
more  is  offered  in  the  Junior  college 
classrooms. 

When  you  go  to  enroll  next  fall 
there  is  the  choice  of  two-five  hour 
lab  courses,  General  Biology  and  Zoo- 
logy. Two  three  hour  classes,  Psycho- 
logy and  Health  Hygiene,  although 
Psychology  is  offered  only  to  sopho- 
mores students. 


pportunities 
st  Tubes 


The  spring  term  includes  Botony 
and  General  Physiology  which  are  five 
hour  courses  and  a  three  hour  sub- 
ject, General  Geography.  Chemistry, 
a  five  hour  lab  course  is  offered  for 
both   semesters. 

The  original  purpose  of  this  art- 
icle was  propaganda  for  next  years 
enrollment  but  after  reviewing  the 
classes  and  talking  to  Mr.  J.  Kelsey 
Day  of  the  science  classes  who  stated 
that  his  classrooms  wei-e  overcrowded 
the  way  it  is,  it  seems  that  the  issue 
needs  no  further  backing,  so  iust  keep 
the  lines  orderly  when  enrollment 
comes    around    again. 


ACJC  Takes

It's  more  than  "do-mi-sol-do"  for 
the  members  of  the  junior  college 
chorus  class,  under  the  direction  of 
Charles  L.   Hinchee. 

Programs  for  assembly  and  various 
other  public  appearances  are  con- 
stantly in  demand.  This  year,  members 
-f  the  t"'o  hour  class  have  appeared 
in  the  Christmas  presentation,  "The 
Messiah",  have  assisted  with  various 
rengious  programs  and  assemblies, 
including  the  Easter  asembly,  and  are 
now  planning  a  program  for  the  "Juco 
Hour",  the  weekly  junior  college  radio 
program. 

Featured  in  the  class  are  the  girl's

Future  Artists  Learn  Basics 
In  Art  and  Pottery  Classes 


Tuture  architects,  landscape  art- 
ist?, commercial  artists,  cartoonists, 
fashion  designers  or  what  have  you 
are  now  receiving  the  basic  training 
which  will  be  required  in  such  fields. 

Beginning  art  students  learn  the 
basic  fundamentals  of  freehand  pencil 
drawing  and  rendering  (sometimes 
called  shading)  during  the  first  nine 
weeks  of  the  course  but  are  allowed 
to  progress  as  rapidly  as  they  are 
capable  to  more  advanced  work. 

After  the  art  of  pencil  drawing  has 
been  satisfactorily  accomplished  by 
the  artists  to  be  (we  hope),  the  study 
of  charcoal  drawings  begins.  Char- 
coal work  is  undoubtedly  one  of  the 
messiest  things  the  young  artist  could 
happen  into.  It  usually  smears  your 
hands  and  sleeves  with  one  of  the 
blackest  blacks.  When  the  aspiring 
artist  thinks  he  is  almost  finished  with 
the  picture  something  will  happen, 
causing  it  to  smear,  without  fail. 


When  the   student  has   managed   to 
truggle  through  the  charcoal  training 
le   is    permitted   to   take    up    work   in 
vatercolors.  This  is  the  point  to  which 
he  present  beginning  class  has   pro- 
gressed.    This     study     will     continue 
;hrough  the  remaining  weeks  of  school. 
The   advanced   art  students   are   al- 
'owed  to  concentrate   their  efforts   on 
'particular  fields  of  art  such  as  water- 
color,  landscape,  or  figure  drawing. 

Another   field   of   art  which   a  few 
uco  stud°nts  are  studying  is  the  mak- 
ing of  pottery.  In  this  class  the  student 
?arns  the  correct  methods  of  working 
lay    to    the    proper    consistency    for 
milding   pieces,    and    the    methods    of 
uildiner.    The    term    "building"    used 
in  connection  with  pottery  means  as- 
sembling or   making  a   piece   of  pot- 
tery. 

Both  art  courses  are  under  the  in- 
trusion of  Miss  Vera  Koontz.

INS, 


Your  Leap  Year  Opportunity 


With  all  the  gals  eyeing  the  calen- 
dar with  that  big  "1948"  certifying 
leap  year,  the  perplexed  boys  are  won 
dering  just  how  this  all  started: 

To    answer    them Once    upon    a 

time that's    the    way    all    stories 

start once  upon  a  time,  St.  Bridget 

threw  her  arms  around  St.  Patrick  and 
made  a  deal  for  all  the  girls  who  had 
to  wait  patiently  for  a  man  to  propose. 

But,  unfortunately,  like  todays,  it 
wasn't  that  simple.  So  let's  start  the 
story    all    over   again. 

According  to  the  old  Irish  story,  St. 
Bridget  was  a  great  sympathizer  with 
the  many  poor  girls  who  were  forced 
to  wait  for  a  man  to  pursue  and  pro- 
pose. One  day,  St.  Bridget,  after  worry- 
ing over  the  husband-getting  matter 
determined  to  do  something1  about  it. 
So  she  did.  She  talked  to  the  good 
Irish  St.  Patrick  about  it. 

"The  girls  will  be  rising  in  mutiny," 
she  told  him.  "They  thirk  they  should 
be  permitted  once  in  awhile  to  pop  the 
question  themselves". 

St.  Patrick,  who  by  this  time  had 
freed  Ireland  of  the  snakes  and  toads 
had  gained  great  power  throughout 
the  land,  weighed  the  matter  seriously, 
to  finally  consent  that  girls  might  have 
the  right  to  every  seventh  year,  pursue 
and  propose  to  their  desired  husbands. 

St.  Bridget  threw  her  arms  around 
St.  Patrick's  neck  delighted  at  thus  far 
gainng  her  point  but,  with  her:  Irish. 
blarney,  convinced  the  Erin  patron  to 
make  it  one  year  in  four. 
jy:  Seems  St.  Patrick  hnd^never  been 
hugged  before  and  he  liked  the  sen- 
sation so  much  that  he  cried,  "I'll  give 
you  Leap  Year,  the  longest  of  the 
lot". 

At  his  point,  the  story  becomes  quite 
vague,  with  everything  suggested,  in- 
cluding the  marriage  of  St.   Pat  and 


St.  Bridget  (following  her  proposal, 
of  course),  some  say  she  hugged  him 
again  and  gave  him  a  kiss.  Be  that  as 
it  may,  tradition  has  it  that  it  was  St. 
Bridget  and  St.  Patrick  who  started 
the  custom  of  girls  doing  the  proposing 
during  Leap  Year.  In  Ireland  to  this 
day,  if  a  man  refuses  a  lady  during 
Leap  Year,  he  must  buy  her  a  fine  silk 
dress,  so  the  girl  can't  lose,  either  way! 

But  tradition  is  not  all  that  is  behind 
the  custom.  Scotland  bassed  a  law  in 
1288  declaring  Leap  Year  as  the  year 
when  the  "mayden  ladye"  might  choose 
her  husband  and  the  only  way  he  can 
avoid  it  is  to  prove  that  he  was  be- 
trothed to  another  woman  at  the  time 
the   girl    made    her   proposal. 

France  soon  followed  suit  and  passed 
the  law  legalizing  Leap  Year.  In  the 
fifteenth  century  Genoa  and  Florence 
each  provided  in  the  same  manner  for 
their  "unfortunate  maidens". 

It  has  not  b'en  determined  whether 
any  of  the  United  States  ever  actually 
passed  the  lav/,  but  the  custom  is  re- 
cognized fully  enough  to  enable  the  ad- 
vertiser to  c.pitrtize  on  it  throughout 
the  Leap  Years.  In  all  cases  it  is  com- 
mon enough  to  hear  the  men  say,  "Oh. 

I  didn't  propose _• my  wife  did 

that!   It  was- Leap  Yeax,  you -know". 

And  so,  girl's  are  grateful  "to  St: 
Bridget  and"  St.   Patrick. 

The  pro vi  ion  of  St.  Bridget',  per- 
mitting marriageable  girls  to  do  their 
own  proposing  of  marriage  leaves 
little  for  the  girls  of  1948  to'""  worry 
about.  Each  may  propose  to  the  man  of 
her  choice.  If  she  f;ils,  another  Leap 
Year  rolls  around  again  in  four  years! 

But  pity  the  girl  of  '2096!  If  she 
should  fail,  there'  would  be  no  hope 
for  eight  yo^rs,  for  according  to  the 
calendar,  2^00  is  not  a  Leap  Year! 
Cafch'em    row    g^rls,   while   you    can! 


A  large  crowd  welcomed  the  pre- 
sentation of  the  annual  junior  college 
speech  play,  "Lilies  of  the  Field",  in

birthday  gifts,  a  month  in  London  for 
one  and  for  the  other — ten  yards  of 
erepe    de   chene. 

The  plot  of  the  play  revolved  around 
the  girls  attempt  to  receive  the  better 
of  the  two  presents  from  "Mum's 
Mum"  and  their  difficulties  after 
Elizabeth  earned  the  prized  gift. 

In  .London,  the  girls  fell  in  love 
vith  Barnaby  'Hadclen,  Edward  Galle, 
md  Byron  Ropes,  Jerry  Williams. 
3ecause  he  was  an  antiquarian,  Eliza- 
beth chose  mid-Vitorian  c'othes  and 
habits  to ,  win  the  heart  of  Barnaby. 
Bryon  changed  hi--  old  views  to  see  the 
way  Catherine  did,  thus  winning  her 
hand. 

•Monica  Flame  and  lady  Susan  Rock- 
er, two  London  society  women,  were 
oortrayed  by  Catherine  Stoker  and 
Toyce  CHMs."  The  twins  finallv  play 
havoc- with  their  idea  that  "the  old 
things  are  best."

Vicara"ge,  was  played  by  Ann  Roehl 
md  Robert  Adams  portrayed  the  part 
if  Withers,  a  rron-servant  to  Mrs. 
Walter.  .Taek  Bookter.  who  originally 
played  the  part  of  Withers,  was  ill 
and  unable  to  continue  the  part.

With  the  final  issue  of  the  Tiger  Ta- 
les this  year,  we're  suddenly  jolted  to 
the  realization  that  this  college  term 
i=  nearly  over.  Students  will  soon  hi 
pouring'  from  the  doors  of  ACJC  to- 
find  their  place  in  lif  d  or  to  find  work 
for  the  summer  months.,  vith  plans 
to  return  to  class  :s  in  the  fall. 

'  This  term  has  seen  advancements  i  l 
the  junior  college  new  courses,  enlarg- 
ed enrollment,  a  big  Christmas  Dane  ■, 
and  now  plans  for  t  e  new  iuco  build- 
ing.'The  term  has  also  fiven  the  stu- 
dents many  memories — basketball 
games  football  games,  the  Tigerama, 
socials,  plays  and  clubs. 

Yes,  the  college  has  mfde  advance- 
ment and  left  us  memories  but5 what 
about  us  as  individuals?  Have  we  bet- 
tered ourselves?  Have  we  done  the 
best  we  co'ild?  Have  we  left  pLasint 
memories  for  others  ? 

If  we  have  broadened  our  kn  wkdge. 
improved  our  characters,  and  /aided 
in  making  life  pi:  asant  for  some;  other 
student,  then  our  time  has  been  well 
spent, and  we  have  achieved  our  college 


It  has  been  an  eventful  and  joyous 

year those     who     plan     to     return 

next  year  have  something:  to  look 
foward  to  and  those  who  have  com- 
pleted their  work  have  something  to 
remember, — the  good  old  days  in  AC.rC.

rather  badly  (never  thought  she  would 
ever  go  to  the  dogs.)  Hope  you'll  soon 
be  back,  Edna. 


Only  two  more  weeks  to  go!  Th;s 
term  will  scon-  be  gone  and  over  75 
sophomores  will  join  the  ranks  of 
alumni  of  ACJC.  In  case  anyone  is 
particularly  broken  up  because  sum- 
n?r  vacation  is  coming,  remember 
you  can  always  sign  up  for  the  sum-

Rosalee  Jones  Is 
New  Secretary 

Miss  Rosalee  Jones,  juco  graduate 
with  the  class  of  '47,  assumed  the  dut- 
ies of  juco  secretary  Wednesday,  May 
5,  when  she  replaced  Doris  Deets. 

Doris  turned  in  her  resignation  be- 
cause she  is  going  to  say  "I  do"  to 
Francis1  H-.  Taylor  this  spring.  Mr. 
Taylor  will  graduate  with  the  class 
from  Emporia  State  College  this  May 
and  has  been  teaching  at  Saffordville, 
Kansas.  He  plans  to  begin  his  Master's 
Degree  this  summer  when  both  Doris 
and  he  wTill  attend  summer  school, 
making  their  home  in  Emporia. 

Miss  Deets  began  part  time  work 
in  the  juco  office  in  the  fall  of  '45, 
when  she  graduated  from  ACHS.  Upon 
her  graduation  from  junior  college 
in  '47,  she  assumed  full  time  duties 
When  interviewed,  Doris  said  "I  have 
enjoyed  my  work  as  juco  secretary 
very  much  and  I  will  always  treasure 
the  memories  of  the  fun  I've  had  here 
both   as  student  and  secretary." 

Doris  and  Francis  will  be  maivied 
at  the  First  Methodist  Church  in  Ark- 
ansas  City,   May   16.

Some  nice  sunburns  around  lately 
what  rooms  have  the  southern  ex- 
posure, boys? 


you  (A)  Start  an  interesting  conver- 
sation about  the  people  at  the  dance? 
(B)  learn  the  identity  of  her  favorite 
actor,  singer,  etc.,  so  that  you  might 
?et  a  pair  of  tickets  to  see  one  of 
them  in  operation?  (C)  decide  to  call 
on  an  old  girl  who  lives  in  the  same 
sorority  house,  and  ask  her  to  put  a 
plug  in  for  you  ? 

5— If  you  forget  to  ask  for  another 
date,  did  you  (A)  decide  to  meet  her 
after  classes  "by  accident,"  and  ask? 
'B)  To  send  a  record  or  book  to  her, 
mentioning  that  it  would  be  fun  to  go 
out  again?  (C)  Call  her  on  the  phone 
and  book  her  for  the  month  ?     .- 

Now — the  man  with  three  or  more 
A's  is  a  nice  guy — but  he'll  go  un-

Too  run-of-the-mill. 

The  lad  with  the  C's  works  too 
hard — seems  a  bit  unsure. 

But "  the  boy  with  the  B  average 
does  best:  will  be  guessed  about,  talked 
about,  pointed  out.  He's  the  thoughtful 
fellow  who  makes  a  girl  feel  like  a 
million  dollars'  worth  of  Stardust.

She  makes  cookies  for  the  social";, 
she  helps  prepare  the  decorations  for 
the  parties,  she  works  so  others  can 
have  fun  -  -  and  she  enjoys  doing  it. 
That's  Ethel  Irene  Harvey. 

Defying  snow  and  wind,  the  stork 
'ropped  Ethel  on  route  4  at  2  a.m.  on 
February  7,  1928.  She  has  four  bro- 
thers and  three  sisters. 

This  5'  7"  sophomore  is  taking  a 
Liberal  Arts  course  and  "a  mixture 
of  other  things." 

Among  Ethel's  pastimes  are  read- 
ing, dancing,  eating,  and  cooking.  She 
narticularly  likes  books  by  Pear1  Buck 
and  Sinclair  Lewis.  Oher  favorites  of 
hers  are  Canada  Lee,  Greer  Garson, 
Ingrid  Bergman,  Lionel  Hampton; 
the  color  green;  any  food  that  is  well

likes  to  be  around  them. 

This  juco  student  likes  th°  attitudes 
of  teachers  versus  students  in  the  local 
"ollege.  She  is  partial  to  ''people  like 
Doris  Deets  and  Billy  Jo  Smith  who 
always  have  a  smile  and  hello  for 
everyone." 

Ethel  would  like  to  live,  after  gradu-

I  ast  fall  one  of  Arkansas  City's 
uain  centers  of  interest  was  the  San 
Romani  Memorial  Fountain  in  front 
of  the  Auditorium. 

For  years  people  had  wondered  what 

the  incompleted  objret  was a  lar?e 

ash  tray  or  something  to  sit  on.  It 
was  used,  by  many  as  a  waste  basket, 
catching  gum  wrappers,  paper  sacks, 
and    cigarettes. 

But  last  fall,  after  much  discussion 
and  debate,  the  memorial  was  com- 
pleted and  the  fountain  sported  an 
array  of  colored  lights,  resulting  in 
beautifully  lighted  sprays  of  water. 

The  city  rejoiced  in  the  completion 
but  the  fountain  was  in  use  only  one 
week. 

Why  shouldn't  the  fountain  be  work- 
ing on  spring  nights  so  people  riding 
through  town  could  em'ov  it.  What 
"•o^H  is  tuo  forntain  if  it  is  not  going

fyan,  a  'New  Jlaah' 

That  sun  tan  you  acquired  this 
summer  is  beginning  to  fade.  The 
summer  vacation-  the  girl  you  met 
on  your  trip  up  north,  are  now  just 
pleasant  memories.  Now  you  have 
a  thick  new  history  text  to  master  in 
the  next  few  months.  The  thought  of 
it  makes  you  wish  you  had  never  heard 
of  school. 

That's  one  way  of  looking  at  it.  If 
you  feel  as  if  you're  going  to  "have  it 
ruff",  you  probably  won't  notice  that 
"new  girl"  who  sits  next  to  you  in 
history  was  prettier  hair  and  bluer 
eyes  than  the  lass  you  met  on  your 
trip. 

Fun  is  where  you  find  it.  And  you'!! 
find  it  in  the  club  rooms,  chem  lab 
even  in  Mr.  Day's  zoology  class,  if 
you're  looking  for  it.  The  world  will 
have  a  "New  Look"  if  you  meet  it 
with    a  "New    Outlok". 

This  may  be  the  year  you  make  the 
first  string  of  the  football  squad  or 
maybe  you'll  not  be  the  star  in  the 
college  play.  Why  not?  ?  ?

Feel  tired  and  dejected?  Feet  hurt? 
Mind  need  relaxing  ?  Then  the  place 
for  you  is  the  clubrooms.  Yes.  it's  the 
place  for  rest  and  relaxation,  study, 
and    a    remedy    for    lonliness. 

This  miracle  room  is  located  even 
further  down  than  the  junior  college 
class  rooms.  Tucked  neatly  in  the 
northwest  corner  of  the  basement  is 
this  large  room  known  as  the  clubroom 
of  ACJC. 

Equipment  for  several  types  of 
recreation  is  available  to  all  students 
This  room  has  been  furnished  for 
everyone's  use  and  enjoyment.  Attrac- 
tions include  a  ping-pong  table,  cards, 
sofas,  tables,  chairs,  magazines,  a 
phonographs,  records,  a  coke  machine 
and  a  candy  machine. 

Accompanying  the  privilege  of  us- 
ing this  room  comes  the  responsibility 
of  keeping  it  neat,  which  means  no 
scrap  papers  or  soft  drink  bottles 
on  the  floor,  no  carvings  on  the  tables 
or   chairs,    no    broken    equipment. 

So.  come  on  everyone,  meet  old 
friends  and  new  students  in  the  club 
room  of  ACJC. 


Welcome  gals  and  guys!  Here  we 
are  with  the  first  edition  of  the 
Tiger  Tales  and  the  first  installment 
of  the  local  gossip. 

Well,  have  you  heard  that  we  now 
have  a  juco  combo.  There  are  five 
pieces.  Janell  Estep,  the  only  girl  in 
the  group,  will  be  at  the  piano,  Phil 
Baker,  drums;  Larry  Hay.  clarinet; 
"Dutch"  Fritchman.  trumpet;  and 
Jiggs  Meyers,  not  a  juco  student,  with 
the  bass.  Good  Luck  to  this  new  or- 
ganization. 

Dot  Haslett  and  Gerald  Wilson  have 
resumed  class  work  after  a  week  at 
the  State  Fair.  Dorothy  Vanskike  and 
Bill  Patterson  attended  two  days  of 
the  fair. 

In  history  class.  P.  M.  Johnson,  re- 
marked, "If  you  have  ice  cream  you 
want  more.  If  you  have  'lasses  you 
want   mo    'lasses. 

Congratulations  to  the  Bengal  team 
for  winning  the  game  over  Chanute. 
Good   Luck  in  the    lext  game. 

Bob  Majors,  a  promising  Tiger  grid 
fler.  was  lost  from  active  service  ear- 
ly in  the  season  and  is  recuperating 
from  a  broken  leg.  Other  injuries  have 
healed  quickly  and  were  responsible  for 
only  limited  vacations  from  practice 
:  essions. 

Does  anyone  remember  Elmer?  He 
was  the  cute  little  mouse  :hat  lived  in 
the  football  field  concession,  stand  three 
years    ago.    His    great-great-grandson 


was  seen  Friday  by  Duana  Boswell  as 
she  was  helping  clean  up  the  stand. 

The  poor  thing  (the  mouse)  was 
so  frightened  by  her  screams  that  it 
jumped  into  the  canal.  Wonder  if 
Duana  affects  all  mice  and  men  that 
way ! ! ! 

A  wolf  thinks  he  has  the  right  to 
life,  liberty  and  the  happiness  of  pur- 
suit. 

Those  two  guys  who  have  been  pass- 
out  cigars  are  proud  papas.  Phil  Som- 
ers  and  Paul  Meyers  are  both  daddies 
of  little  girls. 

ORCHIDS   TO:   The  cheerleaders   and 

the  swell  job  they  did  at  the  last  game. 
And  did  you  notice  their  bright  new 
uniforms.  Pretty,  aren't  they  ? 

The  New  student  council  president, 
Bi'l  Clay.  He  has  started  his  term 
off  with  a  bang  by  exerting  manual 
effort  in  helping  clean  un  the  con- 
cession   stand. 

To  all   the  new  officeholders  of   all 

organizations Good    luck    in 

your   work. 

Please  note:  the  soft  dreamy  at- 
mosphere of  the  print  shop  after  its 
f>'esh  coat  of  paint  and  new  lights. 
They  are  thinkng  of  putting  up  dainty 

chenille   curtains   also. Some   wot!; 

shop   eh? 

So-long  for  this  issue.  If  you  have 
anything  to  contribute  to  this  coluirri 
just  put  a  signed  note  in  the  box  in 
the   club    rooms. 


Enrollment  Shows 
High  Man-power 
Ratio  of  2  to  1 

Leap  year  is  here  and  according 
to  the  vital  statistics  dear  old  juco 
is  going  to  provide  rich  hunting 
grounds.  Here  are  the  figures  that 
prove  this  Utopian  condition.  There 
are  a  total  of  202  students  enrolled 
with  101  freshmen.  83  upper  classmen 
and  8  special  students.  These  same 
figures  show  62  girls  and  130  boys 
enrolled. 

And  here  is  the  dope!  There  are 
two  fellows  for  every  girl  in  iunior 
college,  not  excluding  those  already 
taken  into  wedlock,  however.  This 
exceeding  amount  of  manpower  is 
due  to  the  fact  that  so  nu.ny  veterans 
are  enrolled  in  the  college.  Well,  girls, 
if  you  want  a  man  you  may  have  to 
fight  for  him  so  eat  your  Wheaties 
daily  because  Leap  Year  is  soon  to 
end. 

Enrolled  in  ACJC  are  fellows  and 
gals  from  other  towns.  Some  includ- 
ing Newkirk.  Chilocco.  Cedarvale. 
Atlanta.  Geuda  Springs.  Winfield  and 
Burden. 


New  Lighting  In 
Sixteen  Room 

Does  your  algebra  look  different 
lately?  If  so.  don't  get  excited,  it's 
only  the  recently  installed  fluorescent 
lights.  Tl  is  modern  convenience  is 
hound  to  make  studying  considerably 
easier  on  the  t  yes.  at  least. 

In  place  of  the  old-fashioned  in- 
candescent light  bulbs  which  cast 
shadows  here  and  there,  these  "new 
fangLd"  tubes  cast  a  soft  radiance 
over  the  entire  room,  simulating  dav 
light. 

Sixteen  rooms  have  been  so  equiped 
in  the  junior  college  and  senior  high 
building  during  the  summer  vacation. 
Other  rooms  will  be  remodeled  within 
the  next  few  years.  New  blinds  have 
been  put  on  all  windows  facing  the 
street.

Tigers  Seek       WHEA  TSOWL,  HUH?  Tigers  Victors 


Second  Win 
Against  Cards 

With  one  win  under  their  belts,  the 
Ark  City  juco  Tigers  are  eyeing  the 
powerful  Parsons  invaders,  seeking 
to  make  it  two  in  a  row  this  Friday 
night  at  Curry  Field. 

Last  week.  Parsons  lost  a  hard 
fought  battle  to  the  powerful  Hutch- 
inson gridders  at  Parsons  7-0.  but  t.iis 
should  serve  as  warning  on  the  juco 
teams  that  the  cards  are  out  for  busi- 
ness and  will  be  looking  for  their  ini- 
tial   win    of    the    current    season. 

Eleven  returning  lettermen  provide 
Coach  Swanson  a  nucleous  of  veterans 
while  a  host  of  freshmen  stand  by  to 
carry   on   the  red-and-white   attack. 

Although  this  game  is  a  non-con- 
ference tilt,  the  two  teams  will  be 
battling  to  gain  the  prestige  afforded 
the  winner. 

The  Coffeyville  Red  Ravens  will  en- 
tertain the  Tigers  on  the  first  Bengal 
road  trip  of  the  season  October  8. 
The  Ravens  have  always  proved  a 
a  worthy  foe  and  the  game  should 
prove    to    be    a    tough    battle. 

Eight  lettermen  were  among  the 
grid  candidates  reporting  to  Coach 
"Bunt"  Speer  on  September  1.  Return- 
ing veterans,  as  well  as  many  promis- 
ing freshmen,  are  also  on  the  roster 
as  the  season  gets  under  way.  Letter- 
men  include  Bill  Daniels,  Doyle  Gil- 
strap,  Joe  Berry,  Ronald  McCuteheon. 
Dave  Hearne.  Jack  Warren,  and  Ted 
Templar. 

Prospective  heros  in  the  first  con- 
tingent were  as  folows:  Ends-Bill 
Bartholomew.  Bill  Clay,  Don  Winslow. 
Wayne  Hylton,  Bob  Goodrich,  and  Bill 
Hines;  Tackles — Ted  Temnlar.  Jack 
Warren.  Tom  Gilmore.  Ronald  McCut- 
cheon.  and  Don  Glasgow;  Guards — 
John  Schuchman.  Dave  Hearne.  Jack 
Hollenbeak.  Jack  Henninerton,  and 
Kenneth  Keene;  Centers — "Chic"  Mar- 
tin, Bill  Daniels,  and  Jim  Smyer; 
Half-backs — Bill  Gardner.  Lyle  Rutter, 
Norman  Smyer.  Don  Lyle.  Harry  Kel- 
ler, and  "Dutch"  Fritchman;  Full- 
backs— Joe  Berry  and  Warren  Isom; 
Quarter-backs — Doyle  Gilstrap.  Mu.- 
ry  Boyles.  and  Paul  Meyers. 

The  Tiger  forward  wall  seems  to. 
be  set,  with  such  veterans  as  Jack 
Hollembeak.  John  Schuchman.  Torn 
Gilmore  and  Chic  Martin  returning  to 
bolster  the  Bengal  line  alon~  with  the 
other  new  freshmen  and  returning 
lettermen  of  last  fall.  The  line,  the 
real  strength  of  any  football  aggre- 
gation, will  provide  the  holes  for  the 
Orange  and  Black  running  attack  and 
also  the  coverage  for  Speer's  passing 
plans. 

The  Bengals  will  miss  their  triple- 
threat  star  of  last  year.  Earl  Grinnell. 
and  will  also  find  such  line  stalwarts 
as  Center  Jim  Coker  and  End  Bob 
Brady  hard  to  replace.  ' 


For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of 
the  school,  the  Arkansas  CLy  Junior 
College  football  team  will  have  an 
opportunity  to  compete  in  a  post — 
season  bowl  game.  Since  the  grand- 
pappy  of  all  bowl  classics,  the  Rose 
Bowl  was  inaugurated  in  the  early 
1900's.  the  grid  spectacles  have  grown 
in  number  untill  today  there  are 
scores  of  bowl  games.  Jjust  about 
every  noun  in  the  English  languages 
was  prefixed  to  the  word  "Bowl"  and 
another  game  was  in  the  offing. 

The  Tigers  this  year  can  get  into 
Kansas'  new  bowl  game,  the  Wheat 
Bowl,  by  winning  the  western  juco 
grid  title.  This  season  the  confer- 
ence is  split  into  two  divisions,  with 
Ark  City.  El  Dorado,  Pratt  Hutchin- 
son. Dodge  City,  and  Garden  City 
comprising  the  western  circuit  and 
Coffeyville,  Parsons,  Independence. 
Chanute,  Fort  Scott,  Iola  making  up 
the  other  six — team  division  in  the 
eastern   sector. 

The  champions  of  the  western  divi- 
sion will  meet  the  eastern  division 
winner  in  the  Wheat  Bowl  at  Wichita 
in  November,  with  victor  begin  crown- 
ed Kansas  juco  football  champs  of 
1948. 

The  path  into  the  Wheat  Bowl  will 
be  a  rough  one  in  both  divisions. 
Coffeyville.  Fort  Scott,  and  Independ- 
ence loom  as  the  best  eastern  elevens, 
although  Parsons  may  prove  to  be  a 
darkhorse.  The  Arks  must  bowl  over 
some  stiff  opposition  if  they  are  to 
make  their  Bowl  dreams  come  true. 
Huchinson  will  again  be  hard  to  beat, 
as  willl  Coach  "Red"  Wade's  rejuve- 
nated Pratt  crew.  All  in  all,  it  looks 
like  a  thrilling  football  season,  wit  i 
the  dividing  of  the  teams  into  two 
leagues  and  the  instigation  of  the 
Bowl  game  just  what  junior  college 
football  needed  to  add  color  and  lire 
to    the    schedule. 


Girls  Gym  Class 
Takes  Up  Tennis 

"Watch    ont    for    that    ball!" 

"Look  at  that  swing!" 

"What's  the  score?" 

These  are  but  a  few  of  the  remarks 
to  be  herd  when  the  girls'  physical 
education   class   meets. 

Twice  a  week  the  girls  meet  in  the 
gym  under  the  direction  of  Miss  Editli 
Davis  to  participate  in  various  activi- 
ties. 

Tennis  is  the  main  attraction  now 
because  of  the  nice  weather.  At  the 
present  time,  the  girls  are  learning 
the  fundamentals  of  tennis,  while 
practicing  at  the  Wilson  Park  tennis 
courts. 

When  asked  how  she  liked  tennis, 
one  girl  replied.  "It's  sure  hot,  but 
lots  of  fun!"  So  even  after  playing 
tennis  an  hour  in  the  sun,  the  girls 
still   have   lots  of  pep. 


Over  Chanute 

In  Opener 

The  junior  college  Tigers'  passing 
and  running  attack  proved  sufficient 
in  downing  the  hapless  Chanute  Pan- 
ther eleven,  12  to  0,  Friday  night  at 
Curry  Field,  in  the  season's  opener 
for  boths  schools.  Both  teams  found 
the  opener  a  little  trying,  as  was  ap- 
parent by  13  fumbles  and  21  penalties. 
The  Bengals'  touchdowns  were  spark- 
ed by  freshman  Murray  Boyles,  as 
the  spirited  half-back  scampered  15- 
yards  in  the  second  period,  and  mid- 
way in  the  final  period  connected  with 
tall  Don  Winslow,  who  snagged  the 
pigskin  and  completed  a  58-yard 
touchdown  play. 

The  local  back-field  looked  prom- 
ising, with  the  backs  showing  power 
as  Berry.  Boyles,  and  Gardner  drove 
for  impressive  gains.  Defensive  work 
was  very  good  as  the  linesmen  held 
the   slashing   Panther  attack. 

After  a  threatening  Chanute  drive, 
sparked  by  a  McNeil  to  Gardner  to 
Neptune  pass-lateral  play,  center 
"Chic"  Martin  intercepted  a  Chanute 
lateral  and  thundered  27  yards  to  the 
Panther  40,  to  set  the  stage  for  the 
initial  counter.  McCutcheon's  try  for 
point  was  wide. 

The  luckless  Chanute  eleven  fought 
desperately  as  the  fourth  quarter 
grew  old  and  looked  impressive  until 
a  penalty  slowed  their  scoring  drive. 
Boyles  intercepted  an  aerial  attempt, 
tucked  the  leather  under  his  arm  and 
wasn't  nr.iled  until  he  was  well  out  of 
the  danger  zone.  The  next  play  found 
Winslow  on  the  receiving  end  of  a 
long  Boyles  pass,  which  was  a  thriller 
and  good  for  a  58-yard  counter.  Again 
McCutcheon's  conversion  attempt  was 
unsuccessful. 

Local  fans  were  pleased  as  they 
saw  the  home  team  out-gain  the 
eastern  opposition  through  ground 
rushing  yardage.   128  to  82. 

Speermen  starters  included  Bartho- 
lomew. Gilmore.  Schuchman,  Martin, 
Hearne,  McCuteheon.  Winslow,  Gil- 
strap,  Gardner.  Boyles.  and  Berry.

Off  w  ith  a  big  start  are  the  members 
of  the  Tiger  Action  Club.  They  sat  as 
a  group  at  the  Parsons  -Ark.  City 
game  and  were  responsible  for  the 
decorations  of  the  goal  posts  and  for 
the  painting  of  the  streets. 

The  unbelievable  has  happened,  a 
bus  filled  with  students  went  to  the 
Coffeyville  game.  Their  presence 
greatly  boosted  the  moral  of  the  team. 
Several  attempts  to  fill  a  bus  have 
been  made  before  but  they  were 
unsucessful. 

This  "plan  and  go-to-it  club"  has 
the  funds  and  the  permission  to  make 
a  float  for  the  Arkalalah  parades. 
This  shows  that  if  enough  push  is  put 
behind  a  thing  it  can  be  put  over. 

Cheer  with  the  Tiger  Action  Club 
and  help  it  to  the  success  that  it 
deserves!

Juco  Song  Adds 
To  School  Spirit 

Did  you  know  we  had  a  school  song? 
Well,  we  do!  Have  you  learned  it? 
If  not,  let's  all  learn  it  so  we'll  have 
more   school  spirit. 

The  juco  song  was  written  sometime 
during  1930.  The  words  were  written 
by  Miss  Lucille  Plette.  a  science  tea- 
cher here  at  the  time.  Jess  Meeker,  a 
student  then,  wrote  the  music,  and 
A.  E.  San  Romeni,  band  instructor  at 
that  time,  arranged  the  music  for  the 
band. 

If  all  the  students  would  learn  "our" 
song,  it  would  add  lots  to  the  school 
spirit,  and  would  adl  lots  of  pep  to  our 
assemblies  and  games. 

Let  us  sing  of  A.C.  college   days 
With  joyous  songs  and  rousing  cheers 
The  happy   friendships   made  will   al- 
ways bring 

Sweet  mem'ries  in  the  after  years. 
We   pledge  to   you    A.C,    our  loyalty 
In  work  or  play  we'll  stand  the  test. 
The  orange  and  black  of  junior  college 
Will    always    wave    among    the    best. 

Colors  gay  will  fly   again  today 
For    A.C.    Tigers    brave    and    strong 
We  cheer  for  you  i'i  victory  or  defeat 
Our  voices  raise  in  happy  song 
It  is  for  loyalty  and  fellowship 
We  love  and  praise  and  h^nor  give. 
The  spirit  of  our  junior  college 
Will  ever  more  in  mem'ry  live. 


Howdy,  all  you  guys  and  gals.  Feel- 
in'  good?  Well,  here  we  go  again  into 
all  the  latest  gossip  and  gags  of  ACJC. 
Hope  you're  still  feeling  good  after 
reading  this! 

Ronnie  Holdredge  was  iinxed  last 
week.  After  four  attempts,  he  'inally 
finished  a  speech  during  a  fire  drill. 
Time  was  called  on  him  in  class.  At 
the  end  of  the  class  period,  he  was 
given  the  cnance  to  finish  his  story. 
He  had  just  begun  again  when  the  fire 
bell  sounded.  That  was  the  la^t  straw' 
The  class  gathered  'round  on  the  school 
lawn  and  Ronnie  finished  the  interest- 
ing story. 

Boy:  Do  you  know  what's  wrong 
with  the  alphabet? 

Girl:   No.  what? 

Boy:  "U"  and  "I"  aren't  close  e- 
nough   together. 

Lots  of  luck  to  the  TAC  and  the 
Christian  Association  in  buildim;1  their 
floats  for  the  Arkalalah. 

You  see  a  b?autiful  girl  walking 
down  the  street.  She's  singular,  you're 
nominative.  You  walk  across  the  street 
changing  to  the  verbal  and  then  if  she 
doesn't  object,  you  become  plural.  You 
talk  of  the  future  but  she  changes  to 
the  objective.  You  kiss  her.  Her  father 
becomes  present-  things  are  ten^e  and 
you  become  a  past  participle. 


Congrats  to  our  swell  football  team. 
They're  really  fighting  for  that  trip 
to  the  Wheatbowl.  Let's  give  them  lots 
of  support,  cheerers! 

Men  are  what  women  marry.  They 
have  two  feet,  two  hands,  and  some- 
times two  wives;  but  never  more  than 
one  dollar  or  one  idea  at  a  time. 

If  you  flatter  a  man,  it  frightens 
him  to  death,  if  you  don'tyou  bore 
him  to  death.  If  you  peimit  him  to 
make  love  to  you.  he  gets  tired  of  yon 
in  the  end,  and  if  you  don't,  he  gets 
tired  of  you  in  the  beginning. 

Say.  someone  is  sure  wanting  ti 
go  to  the  Wheatbowl!  They  even  turn- 
ed the  football  games  into  a  math- 
matical  formula: 

Ark  City  over  Coffeyville  plus  Ar": 
City  over  Hutch  equals  Ark  City  over 
the  Wheatbowl. 

That's    a     good     idea     and    increases 
school  spirit. 
Keep  up  the  good  ideas! 

THE  NUTS  THOUGHT 
— that  you  shoot  pool  with  a  gun 
— that  it  requires  a  fisherman  to  scale 
a  mountain  ' 

— that  a  postage  stamp  is  a  new  dance.

Turner,  Hadley 
Win  Scholarships 

Scholarship  awards  of  $100  each 
were  announced  for  James  Turner  and 
Roy  Hadley,  1948  graduates,  at  the 
spring  awards  assembly  in  May.  The 
awards  are  annually  presented  by 
the  Kiwanis  and  the  Lions  Club  to 
out-standing  junior  college  graduates. 
Hdley  received  the  Lions  scholarship 
and  Turner  that  of  the  Kiwanis  club. 

Eoth  men  are  now  contoinuing  their 
studies,  Hadley  in  business  at  Kansas 
University  at  Lawrence,  and  Turner

State  in  Manhattan.  Hadley  was  one 
of  the  regular  backs  on  the  1946  and 
1947  football  squads,  while  Turner 
was  a  consistent  forward  who  lettered 
in  basketball  both  seasons.  Turner  was 
the  president  of  the  student  council 
during  the  1947-48  academic  year  and 
Hadley  had  an  active  part  in  the  coun- 
cil as  arepresentative  of  his  sopho-

Boosters  Make 
Long  -  Awaited 
Trip  To  Game 


"Oh  I'll  just  die  if  we  don't  get  to 
go!" 

"Phil,  go  try  to  call  them  again." 

"Is  it  5:30  yet?" 

These  are  but  a  few  of  the  impatient 
remarks  heard  around  the  school  la^c 
Thursday  evening  as  33  jucos  waited 
for  their  chartered  bus  to  take  them 
to  the  football  game  at  Coffeyville. 

Phil  Parker,  president  of  the  TAC 
made  the  arrangements  for  a  cnartereJ 
bus  which  come  from  Winfield.  The 
scheduled  time  for  arrival  of  the  bus 
was  4:30.  So,  33  jucos  decked  in  jeans, 
jackets,  and  wool  coats,  and  equipped 
with  plenty  of  food  and  blankets 
waited  patiently   (?)   until  5:30. 

Just  after  Phil  started  refunding 
the  money,  someone  yelled  "Here  it 
comes!",  so,  in  a  mad  rush  everyone 
was  on  the  bus,  and  off  for  the  game. 

Eating,  talking,  yelling  through 
every  town,  and  singing  occupied  tne 
minds  of  these  boosters  on  the  trip. 

The  bus  rolled  into  the  Coffeyville 
stadium  at  7:30,  just  in  time  for  every- 
one to  find  their  seat  before  the  kick- 
off. 

After  the  game,  the  local  rooters 
still  had  lots  of  pep,  'cause  they  knew 
our  boys  out-played  Coffeyville  in 
strategy,  if  not  in  score.  The  game 
was  over  about  9:45,  and  everyone 
went  up  town  to  eat.  Everyone  was 
back  on  the  bus  at  the  appointed  time, 
11:00,  andthe  bus  headed  for  home. 

After  eating,  yelling,  singing,  talk- 
ing, and  "sleeping",  all  the  way  home, 
the  tired  juco's  arrived  in  A.  C.  about 
1:15  a.m. 


Fads  for  Lads 
Are  Popular  with 
Juco  Manpower 

Boys  fashion  are  making  headlines 
today.  At  least  here  at  junior  college. 
Bright  plaid  shirts  and  corduroy  trou- 
sers are  the  thing  that  all  well  dressed 
boys   wear   to   school. 

Colorful  T-shirts  are  being  replaced 
by  ski  sweaters  of  every  design.  A 
few  mated  sweaters  are  also  seen. 
These   are   usually   worn   by    steadies. 

Fads  of  pre-Arkalalah  days  are 
beards,  side  burns,  and  mustaches. 
The  fellows  wearing  these  may  look 
a  trifle  shaggy  but  must  save  a  lot 
of  time  in  the  morning. 

Jack  Hennington  states,  "To  be  a 
well  dressed  boy  you  have  to  own  a 
corduroy  jacket,  several  pairs  of  ass- 
orted corduroy  pants,  a  couple  of 
flashy  ski  sweaters,  a  pair  of  loafers, 
a  pair  of  dress  shoes,  and  a  lot  of 
gay   colored    socks". 

Vernon  Brewster  adds.  "Cowboy 
boots  are  also  a  must." 

Blue  jeans,  plaid  shirts.  T-shirts 
and  flashy  socks  are  Murry  Boyles 
favorites. 

Don  Lyle  has  a  speciality  of  wear- 
ing bright  corduroy  shirts  with  socks 
to  match.  He  also  wears  ski  shoes. 
Jack  Chambers  and  Bill  Gardner  also 
sport  the  same  model  of  shoes. 

It  has  been  said  that  boys  wear  the 
same  old  things  but  it  seems  they 
have  a  variety  of  choices. 


Concession  Stand 
Is  Money  Maker 

"Hot  dogs,  candy,  popcorn,  hot  cof- 
fee" are  the  familiar  cries  heard  from 
the  concession  stand  at  the  football 
games.  Anything  to  get  your  money, 
or  so  the  spectators  think. 

The  story  behind  the  story  is  an 
afternoon  of  gathering  su&plies,  pop- 
ping corn,  making  hot  dogs,  and  coffee 
by  a  few  hard  working  individuals. 

The  rescue  crew  arrives  about  7 
p.  m.  to  take  for  the  evening.  They 
come  with  the  bright  hopes  of  selling 
wares  to  all  the  enthusiastic  customers. 
But  after  the  half-time  rush,  their 
hopes  are  a  little  tarnished,  the  sup- 
plies are  low,  and  the  cold  wind  is 
blowing  through. 

A  tired  but  happy  crew  now  closes 
the  stand.  The  game  has  been  won  and 
the  money  counted.  It  was  a  big  game 
and  a  big  night  for  making  money. 
The  student  council  finance  commit- 
tee has  the  management  of  the  con- 
cession stand.  The  money  made  from 
the  football  and  basketball  games  goes 
to  the  Tigerama,  the  big  social  event 
at  the  end  of  the  year.

Jack:   I'm  a  psychiatrist  in  a  pot-

Phil:   What   is   that? 
Jack:    I   repair   cracked   pots. 

Did  you  hear  about  the  butcher

he  got  a  little  behind  in  his  work. 


Potential  Football  Star 
Make  Debut  on  Gridiron 


An  orange  and  black  football  helmet 
rolls  jerkily  across  Curry  Field's  prac- 
tice gridiron.  Finally,  the  helmet  comes 
to  a  halt,  so  I  stagger  to  my  feet  and 
pull  it  off  my  head.  I  look  around  and 
see  six  Coach  Bunt  Speers  looking 
at  me. 

"Did  you  get  his  number?",  I  asked. 
as  the  coach  drags  me  back  for  more 
scrimmage    against    the    "A"    team. 

I   line   up   opposite   a   Rock   of   Gib- 
raltar and  the  ball  is  snapped.   So  is ' 
my  neck  as  the  Rock  steamrolls  over 
me,  leaving  his  brand  on  my  posterior 
with  his  cleats. 

Finally,  we  get  to  take  the  offense 
and  the  quarterback  calls  for  a  play 
where  I  carry  the  ball.  I  take  the  pass 
frcm  center  and  am  promptly  buried 
elive.  After  tunneling  back  to  the 
surface  encountering  two  moles  en 
roi-+p    I  go  back  into  huddle. 

"Okay,  you  carry  the  pigskin."  bark? 
the  quarterback,  leering  menacingly 
at  me.  I  reply.  "Okay,  but  who'll  carry 
the  ball?"  I  find  out  soon  after  as  the 
quarterback  rams  the  ball  into  my 
stomack  and  ducks.  Another  visit  with 
the  moles. 


Next  the  quarterback  called  a  mouse 
trap  play  with  me  the  cheese.  I  blush 
and  suggest  a  naked  reverse  but  fail 
to  d.'ssuade  the  "brains."  The  ball  is 
snapped  from  center  and  I  take  out. 
I  evade  one  tackier,  dodge  another, 
stiffarm  a  third.  Racing,  spinning, 
twisting,  I  cross  the  goal  line.  Proud- 
ly I  run  over  to  the  coach  for  his 
praise.  Beaming,  I  hear  him  say. 
"Nice  run.  Very  nice.  Only  try  to  take 
the  1  all  along  next  time." 

Brushing  back  the  tears,  I  leave  the 
clubhouse.  Suddenly  I  feel  a  tap  on  my 
batt<  red  and  bruised  shoulders.  It's 
the  coach.  He  asks,  "Did  you  take  a 
shower?"  I  answer,  "Why,  is  there 
one   missing?" 

The  coach  sadly  shakes  his  head. 
Then  he  suggests  that  maybe  football 
isn't  my  game  and  that  "maybe  next 
year — ." 

I  take  the  hint.  I  ran  wild  in  the 
Tiny  Tot  Touch  league  with  the 
Pershing  Powderpuffs,  but  this  junior 
ocllege  game  is  a  wee  bit  rough  for 
me. 

When  did  you  say  the  ping  pong

Ravens  Grab 
Breaks  to 
Beat  Arks  14-8 


Coach  Speer's  Bengals  went  down 
in  their  first  defeat  in  three  successive 
non-conference  grid  starts.  October7. 
at  the  hands  of  the  Coffeyville  Ravens 
on  foreign  grounds.  The  locals  out- 
fought the  eastern  eleven  throughout 
the  first  half  and  were  far  ahead  on 
first  downs  from  rushing,  until  the 
potent  Ravens  found  themselves  in 
the'  second  half  and  passed  the  weary 
Speermen  in  that  department. 

The  score:  Coffeyville  14,  Arkansas 
City  8. 

Coffeyville  made  a  50-yard  sustained 
drive  the  first  time  they  gained  pos- 
session of  the  ball  and  turned  it  into 
a  7  point  lead,  as  Bloomfield  conv  rted. 
The  Speermen  received  the  kickoff 
and  returned  the  ball  in  16  plays  for  a 
TD,  as  Gardner  counted  for  the  im- 
pressive Tigers.  An  official  ruled  the 
preceding  pass  play  complete  for  Cof- 
feyville interference,  which  set  the 
stage  to  complete  the  long  drive. 
McCuteheon's  attempted  conversion 
was  blocked,  leaving  a  1  point  margin. 

A  beautiful  quick  kick  to  the  Raven 
five  rilled  out  of  bounds  on  the  2.  and 
gave  Tom  Gilmore  and  Don  Winslow 
the  opportunity  to  snare  Gustitus  in 
the  end  zone  and  throw  the  Timers 
ahead    8    to    7. 

A  pass  interception  proved  fatal, 
as  Boyles  flipped  and  the  wrong:  Berry 
caught  the  ball.  "Dub"  Berry,  Raven 
back,  sped  70  yards  through  the  entire 
Tiger  team  to  score.  Bloomfield's  con- 
version was  again  successful  and  this 
completed  the  scoring  for  the  evening.

with  Coffeyville,  and  could  upset  the 
powerful    crew    this    Friday.

The  hard-charging  Tigers  again 
crushed  a  worthy  foe  as  che  Parson 
Cardinal1?  went  down  in  a  20-13  thril- 
ler, October  1-  under  the  lights  of 
Curry  Field.  The  Tigers  left  little 
doubt  in  the  minds  of  the  large  crowd, 
that  they  are  a  fighting  eleven,  full 
of  aggressive  spirit. 

Findiarr  ground  hard  to  gain,  Par- 
sons opened  with  a  barrage  of  aerial 
attempts  which  retted  a  T"*.  as  Phil- 
lips lumbered  to  pay  territory  with 
Carrier's  15  yard  pass  plfy.  An  at- 
tempted conversion  by  Mosier  was 
no  good. 

Tfto  Timers  failed  to  score  in  the 
initial  quarter,  but  showed  punching 
power  in  the  second  period,  as  they 
bulled  their  way  to  the  lead.  A  Gil- 
strap  to  Berry  lateral  play  to  the  2- 
yard  line  set  the  stage  ar  d  Gilstrap 
bucked  over  from  the  l-y£rd  line  on 
the  3rd  down.  Minutes  later,  the  driv- 
ing Tiger  backs  slashed  to  another 
touchdown  and  were  never  headed, 
as  Gardner  garnered  the  6  points. 
Ronny  McCutcheon  placed  the  ball 
squarely  between  the  up-rigats  on  both 
attempts.  A  series  of  Card  passes  were 
halted  at  half-time  and  the  Tigers 
lead   14-6. 

A  third  quarter  pa"s  plar,  executed 
by  Parsons,  netted  82  yards  as  they 
put  themselves  back  in  the  ball  game. 
Carrier  flipped  the  pass  to  Phillips 
who  crossed  the  goal-line  standing  up 
to  bring  the  margin  to  a  si  ogle  point. 
Ellis's  conversion  was  successful. 

The  home  eleven  weren't  to  be  stop- 
ed.  however  and  reeled  off  first  downs 
rnd  swept  to  a  21  to  13  victory,  as 
Berry  hit  pay-dirt  on  an  end  run. 
McCutcheon  again  converted  to  score 
his  third  successive  placement  and 
the  ball  game  was  wrapped  up  in  a 
neat    package. 

Ark  defensive  play  was  magnificent 
as  the  charging  linemen  pulled  the 
backs  of  the  opposing  team  down  time 
after  time,  without  a  gain  in  yardage. 
Schuchman's  play  in  the  third  quart- 
er highlighted  the  aggressive  guard's 
performances  for  the  evening  as  he 
caught,  a  deflected  Cardinal  pass  and 
line.  Benp,',al  pass-defense  was  ofte1"1 
tore  24  yard'",  to  the  Parsons  30-y^rd 
comnPtely  lacking,  however  as  the 
Parson's  Carrier  flipped  again  and 
again   for  nice  g?irs.

Brotherhood 
Is  Topic  For 
Assembly 

"We  are  our  brother's  brothers,  not 
just  our  brother's  keeper."  stated  the 
Rev.  K.C.  Miller,  a  Presbyterian  mini- 
ster from  Wichita  at  the  junior  college 
assembly,    October    18. 

The  National  Conference  of  Christ- 
ians and  Jews  presented  a  plea  for 
brotherhood,  and  a  plea  to  end  dis- 
crimination of  race  and  creed.  Three 
different  religions  were  represented 
by  Mendel  Silver,  Jewish  layman; 
the  Rev.  Joe  Luther.  Catholic  priest, 
and  the   Rev.  Miller.   Protestant. 

Mr.  Mendel  Silvers'  speech  centered 
about  cooperation  between  races  anl 
creeds.  He  also  suggested  "Ten  Com- 
mandments   of   Good    Will." 

Father  Luther  brought  out  that 
"The  Jewish  faith  is  its  grandmother, 
and  Catholic  mother  of  Protestanism. 
The  three  faiths  should  work  together 
to  form  an  interfaith  brotherhood,  each 
contributing  its  share  to  American 
life." 

John  T.  Henna,  from  Wichita,  served 
as  gn^st  chairman,  while  George  Stan- 
ley, jr..  was  student  chairman.

"How  about  a  game  of  ping'  pong?" 
"Is  it  time  for  the  next  hour  yet?' 
These  sounds  and  good  times  in  the 
college  club-rooms  will  continue  only 
as  Ions'  as  students  accept  the  respon- 
sibility associated  with  the  privilege  of 
using  the  club-rooms,  is  the  opinion  of 
Kenneth  "Whitey"  Falls,  a  member  of 
the  club  room  committee  appointed  by 
the  student  council. 

Students  who  have  thrown  candy 
wrappers  on  the  floor,  put  their  feet 
on  the  chairs  and  divans,  scattered  tne 
cards  all  around  the  room,  or  who  have 
failed  to  return  pop  bottles  to  the  case 
are  certainly  eligible  for  a  course  in 
responsibility,  "Whitey"   says. 

Claus  Thieson,  a  member  of  the 
same  committee,  says,  "Accompanyi  ig 
the  privilege  of  using  this  room  comes. 
the  responsibility  of  keeping  it  neat. 
This  means  no  candy  wrappers  or 
waste  paper  on  the  floor,  no  pop  bottles 
lieirg  around,  and  no  dirty  shoe  marks 
onthe  furniture." 

Bob  Sneller.  who  is  seen  in  the  club- 
rooms  frequently,  says.  "We  are  lucky 
to  have  a  place  such  as  the  club-rooms 
for  our  leisure  hours.  Let's  all  see  that 
this  privilege  is  not  removed  by  the 
thoughtlessness  of  a  few  students. 
Let's  all  work  to  keep  our  club-rooms 
neat!"

The  Basement  Buz; 


Luxury  Liner 
Will  Arrive  Soon 

Around  November  15.  the  students 
of  the  schools  of  Arkansas  City  will 
have  for  their  use,  a  shiny  new  green 
and  white  bus.  Due  to  labor  trouble 
the  bus  company  was  unable  to  d  'liver 
the  bus  at  the  previously  stated  dates. 

This  bus  will  be  used  by  all  the 
schools  of  Arkansas  City,  the  junior 
college,  senior  high-  junior  high,  and 
the  grnd'  schools.  A  new  bus  was  badly 
needed  as  "Leaping  Lena",  or  "The 
Blue  Terror",  popular  names  for  the 
old  bus.  is  in  need  of  retirement. 

The  new  bus  will  be  modern  in  all 
ways.  It  will  have  reclining  individual 
leather  upholstered  seats.  A  spacious 
luggage  compartment  in  the  back  can 
be  used  for  band  andathletic  equip- 
ment, 

On  each  side  and  on  the  back  of 
the  bus  will  be  painted, "Public  School 
of  Arkansas  City",  so  everyone  will 
know  who's  coming. 


Hello  again!  Wanta  know  what's

There's  men  and  a  mouse  in  juco! 
A  real  live  mouse,  of  the  animal  varie- 
ty', is  staying  in  Miss  Pauline  Sleeth's 
room.  Wonder  if  it  learns  more  gram- 
mar than  I  do  in  there.  Anyway.  Bob 
Adams  suggests  that  the  mouse  is  not 
going  to  college  for  degrees,  but  for 
oc -cheese!

We  wonder  if  "Bunt"  Speer  is  cam- 
paigning for  a  wet  state.  In  his  6th 
hour  algebra  class,  desperatly  trying 
to  explain  a  problem  he  said,  "Let  40 
equal  anything,-  liters,  quarts,  pints, 
half -pints,  or  fifths!"

filled  the  room  today?

ticed several  people  leaving  to  make

If    the    first    hour    chemistry    class 


doesn't  get  smarter  soon,  the  school 
is  going  to  be  without  a  chemistry 
floor.  It  seems  that  such  ridiculous 
answers  are  sometimes  given,  that  all 
Mr.  Stark  can  do  is  jump  up  and  down. 

Do  you  know  that  if  you're  40  and 
marry  a  girl  20,  you'll  be  60  when  she 
is  40?  But  if  you're  20,  and  marry  a 
woman  of  40,  you'll  both  reach  60  at 
about  the  same  time.

for  a  swell  performance. 

The  new  cheerleaders  and  the  "old"

she  said,  "Let's  all  yell  "Beat  'em  Bull-

Tigers   Are  Home  Grown 

In  contrast  to  the  average  college 
football  team,  which  includes  men 
whose  homes  range  far  outside  the 
immediate  vicinity,  Arkansas  City's 
Tigers  are  almost  entirely  home 
grown.  The  only  out-of-town  talent 
includes  Don  Bohannon  of  Ceder  Vale 
and  Dick  Foote  of  Atlanta.

Tigers  Down 
Pratt  By 
27-12  Count 


Fratt  junior  college  went  down  in 
defeat  as  the  ambitious  Tigers  tore 
loose  last  Friday  at  Curry  Field  and 
scored  a  27  to  12  conference  triumph 
over  the  westerners.  Both  .iuco  elevens 
were  trying  to  get  back  on  the  winning- 
side  of  the  ledg  r  in  conference  games 
but  Pratt  found  the  potent  Speermen 
overpowering  in  every  department. 

The  eager  Beavers  hit  pay  dirt 
first  in  the  iritial  period  when  a  lateral 
attempt  to  Berry  was  intercepted  by 
Sanford  and  run  back  for  a  TD.  A 
penalty  was  declined  by  Pratt  and 
the  visiting  squad  led,  6  to  0.  The  at- 
tempted conversion  was  not  good. 

A  series  of  passes  to  the  local  ends 
led  the  Tigers  toward  the  end  zone 
and  Norman  Smyer  slashed  through 
the   line  for  the  counter. 

McCutcheon  converted.  The  kickoff 
was  returned  to  the  25.  but  "Chic" 
Martin  caught  an  attempted  pass  and 
fashed  the  27-yard  distance  for  a 
second  Tiger  TD.  Mac  again  convert°d 
and  the   locals  led  14   to   6. 

The  second  quarter  found  both  teams 
unable  to  score  until  late  in  the  period 
when  Gardner  drove  over  from  the 
two  after  a  Gilstrap  to  Cliv  ra^s 
brought  the  ball  to  that  point.  The 
half  ended  as  the  Beavers  received 
the  kickoff.   Score,20  to  6. 

The  Speermen  drove  to  the  Pratt 
10  a->  the  third  period  got  under 
way,  but  were  unable  to  push  on  across 
as  three  prss  attempts  were  unsuc- 
cessful, and  the  Beavers  took  over 
on  downs.  After  an  exchange  of  fum- 
bles. Pratt  punted  to  their  own  25. 
and  again  the  Arks  began  a  drive 
which  ended  when  pint-sized  Don  Lyle 
roared  through  the  line  to  score  stand- 
ing up.  McCutcheon's  kick  was  good, 
and   the    score   read    27    to    6.    Tigers. 

An  aerial  attack  bv  the  visPing 
eleven  saw  Legan  passing  to  Herring- 
ton  to  the  35  as  the  latter  made  a 
beautiful  sn?s;  while  running  back- 
wards. The  Rader  brothers  made  up 
the  battery  for  the  next  play  and 
completed  the  25-yard  aerial  to  hit 
pay  dirt.  The  conversion  attempt  was 
blocked. 

Ark  defense  was  super1-)  as  the 
locals  held  the  opposition  to  a  total 
of  6  first  downs  and  marked  up  a  total 
of  14  for  themselves  Manv  times  the 
home  team  slashed  for  large  gains 
as  the  linemen  opened  the  holes  for 
the  hard  charging  backfield.  ard  fans 
saw  substitutes  carry  the  ball  for 
important  yardage  and   two  counters. 

Hard-smashing  Joe  Berry  sat  out  th  ■ 
last  half  due  to  an  injury  received 
in  first  half  scrimmage,  but  chalked  uo 
69  yards  in  7  tries  the  first  half.  Other 
iniuries  may  have  been  costly,  but 
it  is  hoped  that  the  entire  squad  will  be 

in  shape  for  the  next  enco'untr. 


Gridders  Eye 
Western  City 
Opposition 

Coach  "Bunt"  Speer  and  his  fight- 
Tigers  will  again  take  to  the  road  on 
October  30,  when  they  meet  Garden 
City  on  the  western  city  gridiron. 
This  tilt  will  be  a  conference  scramble 
and  the  Arks  are  attempting  a  holding 
operation  after  dropping  one  confer- 
ence go  to  Hutchinson.  The  Broncs 
have  been  unimpressive  in  their  foot- 
ball campaign  thus  far  this  year,  but 
could  give  the  Arks  some  difficulty 
on  home  grounds. 

On  the  following  Wednesday,  the 
Peal  gri'ders  will  entertain  the  Conqs, 
from  Dodge  City,  who  have  a  number 
o"  reguPrs  on  the  injury  list.  The  ail- 
will  probably  be  back  in  form  again 
ard  ready  for  the  contest,  however. 
Dodge  City  lost  to  powerful  Hutchin- 
son recently,  but  managed  to  push 
e cross  a  counter  as  they  came  out  on 
the  short  end  of  a  39  to  6  decision. 
This  evidence  shows  their  potential 
punching  power,  as  the  Arks  were 
unable  to  score  on  the  Salt  City  eleven. 
A  hard  fought  game  is  in  the  making 
and  should  be  played  to  a  capacity 
crowd. 

acjc 

Tiger  Team  Light 

The  juco  backs  boast  an  average 
weight  of  only  162  pounds,  the  line- 
men 178  pounds.  Above  figures  are 
for  the  entire  squad.  The  usual  start- 
ing line  up  levels  off  at  176  pounds 
fyom  end  to  end  and  173  for  the  back- 
field   men. 


Blue  Dragons 
Squeeze  By 
Tigers,  16-0 

Coach  Speer's  Tigers  fell  short  in 
a  futile  attempt  to  upset  the  power- 
house Bhie  Dragon  eleven  at  Hutch- 
inson, October  16,  and  lost  under  the 
lights  of  Gowan  Stadium,  14  to  0. 

It  wasn't  until  the  waning  seconds 
of  the  second  quarter  that  Dragon 
White  flipped  a  counter  to  Bob  Kelley 
for  24  yards  and  the  first  score  after 
a  high  Dragon  punt  had  been  dropped 
by  an  AC  man  and  Todd  recovered 
for  the  home  eleven.  The  attempted 
conversion    was    wide. 

A  third  quarter  Red  and  Blue  score 
was  nullified  by  a  penalty  and  the  Ben- 
gal line,  with  backs  to  the  wall,  dug 
in  on  their  own  five  to  take  over  on 
downs. 

The  final  quarter  found  the  Dragons 
again  in  scoring  position  but  the 
stubborn  Tiger  line  yielded  nothing 
and  Hutch  elected  to  try  for  a  field 
goal.  Fullback  Gibson  calmly  sent  the 
ball  squarely  between  the  goalposts  -,. 
for  a  9  to     lead. 

A  50-yard  drive  found  Bogner  scor- 
ing from  the  15.  and  the  successful 
conversion  brought  the  count  to  16  to 
0. 

The  Tiger  attack  bogged  in  every 
department  and  the  Arks  couldn't  find 
the  way  to  pay  territory.  However, 
defensive  efforts  were  very  evident, 
as  the  Hutchinson  crew  was  held  to 
its    lowest    score    of    the    season

Vacation  Time 
Draws  Near 

Thanksgiving  time  has  rolled  around 
again  and  will  be  celebrated  on  the 
25th  clay  of  this  month.  With  it  comes 
Thanksgiving  vacation,  four  days  of 
solid  bliss  with  plenty  of  eating  and 
sleeping  (  ? )  without  a  glance  at 
school  books,  except  for  thQ  intellects. 
The  vacation  will  begin  Wednesday, 
Nov,  24  at  4  p.  m.  and  classes  will 
not  be  resumed  until  Monday  morning. 
A  Thanksgiving  assembly  will  be 
held  November  24  with  the  program 
in  charge  of  the  members  of  the 
Christian  Association. 

The    Thanksgiving    theme     is    well 
expressed  by  the  following  poem  com- 
posed  by   two  anonymous   juco   poets. 
Turky  Day 
Turkeys  beware!  it's  here  at  last, 
the    day    you   dread    has   come   so 

fast. 
The  hatchet's  sharp  so  say  good- 
bye, 
and  out  of  the  pen  into  the  fry. 
The    celery   stalks    do    quake    and 

quell, 
and    the   cranberries    have   turned 

to   jell. 
Th°  table  will  groan  beneath  the 

weight, 
As  we  settle  down   to  empty  our 

plate. 
So  let's  give  thanks  for  all  we've 

8'ot, 
and  just  be  glad  we're  not  in  the 

pot. 
Gather    round    the    table    spread, 
with   grateful   thanks   and   prayer 
unsaid.

Indian  Educator 
Is  Juco  Speaker 

B.P.  Sinha,  Hindu  educator  of  India, 
appeared  before  the  students  and 
faculty  members  on  a  November  10 
assembly  program.  Sinha,  who  is  in 
charge  of  the  physical  education  pro- 
gram of  the  large  province  of  Bfhar, 
is  now  attending  Kansas  State 
Teacher's  College  at  Emporia.  He  has 
been  in  the  United  States  for  17 
months  and  will  take  back  to  his 
country  new  ideas  learned  from  the 
study  of  American  physical  education. 

In  the  period  of  time  given  him, 
Sinha  pointed  out  some  of  the  interest- 
ing highlights  of  his  native  country. 
Of  special  interest  to  the  audience 
was  his  description  of  the  colleges 
and  collegiate  life  in  India.  He  also 
noted  the  major  subjects  studied  and 
other  activities,  such  as  drills  and 
marches,  which  make  up  the  students' 
curriculum.  Sinha  emphasized  the 
importance  of  the  study  of  crafts 
which  make  up  a  major  factor  of  their 
education  nvogram. 

Sinha  will  return  to  India  next  June 
after  receiving  his  master's  degree  in 
May  at   Emporia.

Pep,  Band  Mahed, 


A  relatively  new  but  thriving  orga- 
nization in  the  junior  college  this  year 
is  the  pep  band.  In  past  years,  at- 
tempts have  been  made  to  develop 
such  an  organization,  but  without 
success.  This  year,  however,  there  was 
a  heartening  response  to  the  call,  and 
a  peppy  band  has  developed.  Up  to 
the  present,  this  band  has  played  at 
all  home  games  and  all  pep  assemblies, 
adding  much  to  each  and  every  event. 

Approximately  fifteen  students  now 
play  in  the  band  which  holds  practice 
sessions  every  Tuesday  and  Thursday. 
The  spontaneous  pep,  willingness  to 
sacrifice,  and  school  spirit  exhibited 
by  this  group  are  something  to  be 
admired  and  sought  by  the  other  stu- 
dents of  the  college.

pool  hall  all  day." 

Mary  Pudden — "You  have  to  start 
somewhere,  juco  is  as  good  a  place 
as   any." 

James  Heinz — "To  keep  out  of  the 
Navy,   but  I'm  joining  up  next  year." 

Bill  Bailey — "Mainly  because  every- 
body talked  me  into  it." 

Bill  Bartholomew — "To  £°t  an  edu- 
cation,  but  I'm   not  doing  so  well." 

Claus  Thieson — "Ha!  Ha!  That's  a 
good  question." 

Ted  Branine — "I  haven't  quite

ACJC  TIGER  TALES 


Pag'i 


Arks  Scuttle 
Dodge  City 
By  14-6  Win 

Coach  Speer's  fighting  Tigerman 
won  another  grid  battle  November  3, 
at  Curry  Field,  whipping  the  Dodge 
City  Conqs  26  to  7. 

Not  until  early  in  the  second  period 
did  Boyles,  on  a  brilliant  flip  from 
Gilstrap,  cross  the  double  stripe.  An 
attempted  conversion  was  not  success- 
ful. The  homesters  drove  to  the  Dodge 
five,  after  receiving  the  opening  kick- 
off,  but  relinquished  the  ball  on  downs. 
Again  the  Tigers  drove  to  within  10 
yards  of  pay  territory,  but  failed  to 
tally. 

A  blocked  kick  which  rolled  back 
to  the  Arks  24  yard  line,  then  a  pass 
interference  decision  on  the  10,  gave 
the  Conqs  the  opportunity  they 
needed,  and  a  pass-lateral  play  paid 
off,  tying  it  up  at  six  all.  The  western 
backs  bucked  over  to  go  ahead  with 
a  one  point  advantage,  which  tney 
held  at  the  half. 

The  Bengals  came  to  life  as  the 
second  half  got  under  way  and  they 
quickly  went  out  in  front  12  to  7, 
when  Gilstrap  ripped  over  from  the 
six.  Again  the  conversion  attempt 
failed.  An  intercepted  pass  gave  the 
Tigers  another  scoring  opportunity 
and  Gilstrap  made  a  brilliant  run, 
behind  great  blocking  from  the  26, 
but  the  play  was  nullified  when  an 
official  ruled  the  Ark  back-field  in 
motion.  Later,  after  the  mighty-mite 
Lyle  carried  the  leather  to  the  8,  and 
Gilstrap  another  five  yards,  Gardner 
plunged  for  the  third  TD.  McCut- 
cheon's  kick  bounced  on  the  cross-bar 
and  on  over,  and  the  score  read  19 
to  7. 

During  the  fourth  quarter,  the  sec- 
ond string  backs  were  not  to  be 
stopped  and  Smyer  bulled  to  the 
enemy  three;  Lyle  drove  another  yard 
and  on  the  next  play  a  fumble  which 
Tackle  Ted  Templar  pounced  on.  gave 
the  Bengals  another  counter.  McCut- 
cheon  converted  with  a  beautiful  kick 
to  hit  a  50  per  cent  mark  for  the 
evening. 

The  closing  minutes  were  filled  with 
excitement  as  the  western  city  was 
awarded  a  15  yard  penalty,  via 
unnecessary  roughness,  and  another 
interference  with  pass  receiver  decis- 
ion gave  them  the  ball  deep  in  Ark 
City  territory.  Time  ended  the  tussle 
and  the  Arks  were  victorious  again, 
remaining  undefeated  on  home  soil.

Grid  Finale  Will

current  gridiron  season  Friday,  Nov- 
ember 19,  when  they  lock  horns  with 
the  ElDorado  Grizzlies  on  the  latter's 
home   field. 

The  Grizzlies  should  have  a  slight 
edge  over  the  Speermen,  since  they 
will  be  on  familiar  grounds,  and  will 
probably  give  the  Ark  gridders  con- 
siderable excercise  before  the  final

Tigars  Win  Ovar 
Broncs  15-7 

Arkansas  City  Jucos  slid  by  the 
Garden  City  Broncs  Saturday,  October 
30,  in  a  tight  grid  game  played  on  the 
latter's  home  grounds,  by  a  15  to  7 
count. 

After  driving  to  the  western  city's 
three,  a  costly  fumble  spurred  the 
Tigers  to  drive  past  the  Garden  foward 
wall  to  tackle  the  ball  carrier  and  gain 
a  2-point  advantage,  Later  in  the  same 
period,  a  36-yard  drive  found  Joe  Berry 
rumbling    over    from    the    six. 

Tiger  defenders  dug  in  on  their  own 
to  halt  a  third  quarter  Bronc  drive, 
but  the  Garden  City  club  slashed  back 
to    score    a    few    minutes    later. 

Quarterback  Doyle  Gilstrap  drove 
over  from  the  three  to  climax  a  70- 
yard  attack  in  the  final  stanza  to  end 
the  scoring.  McCutcheon's  extra  point 
try  was  successful  and  the  Bengals 
held   the  count  at   15   to   7. 

Garden  City  then  moved  toward 
touchdown  territory,  but  the  Tigers 
had  possession  of  the  ball  as  the  gun 
sounded. 


Tiger  Rally 
Short;  Pirates 
Victors  14-12 

Arkansas  City  jucos  wound  up  their 
home  football  season  Friday  night, 
November  12,  as  the  Independence 
Pirates  outlasted  the  Soeermer,  to  win 
the  "Little  Wheat  Bowl"  tilt,  14  to  12. 

After  holding  the  Pirates  on  the  1 
foot  line,  then  punting,  the  Tigers 
let  the  opposition  tally  and  convert, 
shortly  before  the  period  ended. 

Gardner  skirted  his  own  right  end 
for  sharp  44  yard  jaunt,  but  was  over- 
taken on  the  enemy  32,  the  Arks  later 
losing  the  ball  on  a  penalty.  The  initial 
Ark  score  saw  Gilstrap  flip  a  fat 
pass  to  Berry  who  hit  pay  dirt.  Mc- 
Cutcheon's conversion  attempt  failed. 

Another  bad  break  came  when  a  wild 
pass  from  center  to  Boyles,  who  was 
in  purling  position,  gave  the  east- 
erners another  scoring  opportunity. 
They  quickly  turned  it  into  another 
TD  and  converted.  Score  at  intermis- 
sion stood  14  to  6,  Firates. 

Roaring  northward  after  receiving 
the  third  period  kickoff.  the  four  horse- 
men in  the  Ark  back-field  drove  65 
yards,  to  score  as  the  linemen  opened 
th-»  rugged  enemy  forward  wall  and 
it  was  Murray  Boyles  who  climaxed 
the  attack.  The  scat-back  tore  through 
the  line  to  a  counter  from  the  8  to 
make  it  12  to  14.

Wheat  Bowl 
Big  Event 
For  Queens 

Despite  the  unexpected  handicap  of 
rainy  and  snowy  weather,  the  Wheat 
Bowl  events  planned  for  the  visiting- 
queens  by  the  junior  chamber  of  com- 
merce of  Wichita  went  off  as  scheduled 
Saturday,  November  27. 

From  the  twelve  girls,  each  a  repre- 
sentee from  a  junior  college  in  the 
eastern  and  western  division  of  Kansas 
was  to  be  chosen  the  Wheat  Bowl 
queen  of  1948. 

When  the  girls  arrived  at  Wichita 
about  11:30,  they  were  met  by  the 
Jaycee  Jaynes,  who  showed  them  to 
their  rooms  in  the  Lassen  Hotel.  At 
twelve  noon,  the  girls  met  in  the  hotel 
banquet  room  with  the  four  judges  and 
ate  their  lunch  together.  The  judges 
secretly  made  their  final  discisions  at 
that  time. 

Following  lunch,  the  girls  were  each 
given  corsage?  a"d  were  escorted  to 
the  scene  of  the  afternoon's  game,  at 
Veterans'  Field.  Because  of  the  con- 
tinous  rain,  the  six  visiting-  bands 
present  were  unable  to  march.  The 
bands  were  from  Arkansas  City.  Inde- 
pendence, Coffeyville,  ElDorado  Hutch- 
and  Dodge  City. 

The  queens  names  were  announced 
as  they  came  onto  the  field  and  the 
president  cf  the  Wichita  junior  cham- 
b  r  of  commerce  then  announced  Miss 
Jeanine  Stte'e  of  Iola,  as  Wheat  bowl 
queen  ard  presented  her  vith  a  bo- 
quet  of  yellow  chrysanthemums.  Her 
two  attendants  were  Eloise  Heshamp 
from  Dodge  City,  and  Jean  Wadsack 
from  Parsons. 

At  the  dance  that  evening,  the  queen 
was  crowned  and  given  a  $100  certifi- 
cate for  clothes  at  Garfields.  Her  two 
attendents  were  each  given  a  radio 
and  the  other  girls  were  g:ive  gold 
compacts. 

After  recovi  ring  from  the  rain  and 
snow,  Bebe  Jo  Louderback,  ACJC  foot- 
ball queen  and  our  c  n+e=tant  for 
Wheat  bowl  queen,  said,  "We  all  had

Juco  Poet 

Is  Discovered 

A  promising  young  poet  treading 
the  halls  of  ACJC, is  Bill  Gemar,  juco 
freshman.  To  date,  Bill  has  written 
approximatley  25  poems. 

While  inhigh  school,  a  friend  of  his 
be  t  him  that  he  could  not  write  poetry. 
This  bet  stirred  him  so,  that  he  not 
only  wrote  one  poem,  but  many  others. 
Two  of  his  poems  have  been  published, 
one  in  the  "Stars  and  Stripes",  an 
army  paper,  and  one  in  the  Wichita 
Eagle. 

Bill  found  great  satisfaction  and 
comfort  from  this  pastime  while  ser- 
ving in  the  army.  The  following-  poem 
was  written  when  he  was  extremely 
homesick. 

Remem'bring

And    there's    a

I  think  of  Home. 

Perhaps  the  smell  of  burning  pine 

Or  else  br  cause  of  too  much  wine 

My  thoughts  go  Home. 

Smoke  curling  toward  dark'ning  skies 

Brings  misty  cloudiness  to  eyes 

With  dreams  of  Home. 

But  o'er  the  scene  a  veil  decends, 

Whose  ebon  only  lightning  rends 

As  I  look  Home. 

What  is  it  now  that  bursts  within 

Of  love  and  Home? 

And  whirls  my  thoughts  into  a  maze 

So  fleeting  and  fragile,  'tis  love 

Whiich   chives    my  mind   with   naught

To  those  at  Home.

Feeling  Low?  Try  this  Method 
Of  Relaxation  in  Club  Rooms. 


BY   SNELLER 

Having  jusc  m^ue  my  first  surgical 
incision  un  a  helpless  worm  in  bio- 
Lgy  lab,  I  was  reeling  pretty  low. 
Ac  a  matter  of  fact,  I  was  sick  of 
it   all.    benool    was   getting    me   down. 

1  had  just  been  caugnt  counting 
mj  rios  in  a  hygiene  ex-m  when  the 
Lngiisn  instructor  stopped  me  and 
^civ^d,  "Why  cton  t  you  go  upstairs 
and  sack  your  head  out  tne  window 
feet    first?" 

feeling  still  lower.  I  encountered  a 
new  freshman  girl.  Her  teeth  were 
:  o  far  apart  when  she  smiled  she 
lookeu  like  a  picker,  fence.  She  noticed 
a  band..ge  on  my  right  h_nd  and  asked 
"Wnac  Happened  to  you?"  I  replied. 
"wh,  I  was  reaching  for  a  cigarette 
and  some  ciuiusy  fuol  scepped  on  my 
hand." 

xo  try  to  get  away  from  it  all,  I 
elected  lo  go  to  the  juco  clubroom  for 
a  little  relaxation,  unsuspectingly,  I 
worked  my  wuy  down  the  stairs  and 
curled  up  on  the  divan. 

Juso  as  I  was  aoout  to  forget  the 
trials  of  the  day,  some  music-lover(  ?) 
s  nap3  on  tiie  radio  a  id  phonograph 
at  the  same  time  and  then  leaves  for 
cla^s,  leaving  me  behind  to  listen  to 
a  wierd  duet  of  the  "Blue  Guitar 
Stomp"  and   Bruce  B.   Heimer's   stock 


market   reports. 

b  rom  tlie  adjoining  room  came  the 
sound  of  four  boys  wrestling  the  pop 
machine  while  nearby  a  freshman  tries 
to  squeeze  a  Powerhouse  out  of  the 
candy    machine. 

Tne  confused  cries  of  eight  enthused 
pinochle  players  and  ten  advising  on- 
lookers joined  the  gibberish  mutter 
ings  of  two  students  about  "two  cars 
over  three  pounds  of  squared  candy ._". 

I  sobbed  quietly  to  myself  when  two 
ping-pong  enthusiasts  joined  in  the 
fun  by  blasting  out  the  "Anvil  Chorus" 
on  the  table  vvith  their  paddles  while 
complaining  about  the  cracks  and  r.icks 
on  the  playing  surface  and  the  in- 
ferior quality  of  the  paddles. 

That  did  it!  Something  snapped! 
Suddenly  I  was  fenced  in  by  a  million 
tiny  mincemeat  pies  armed  with  ping 
pong  paddles  doing  the  "Blue  Guitar 
Stomp." 

As  the  boys  in  white  with  the  funny 
little  butterfly  nets  dragged  me  away, 
I  paused  long  enough  to  drop  this  in 
the  Tiger  Tales  box.

Tigers  End 
Successful 
Grid  Season 

The  junior  college  football  squad, 
for  the  third  successive  year  since  the 
post-war  renewal  of  the  grid  sport 
in  juco  circles,  has  completed  a  win- 
ning season. 

Coach  "Bunt"  Speer's  19.48  edition 
of  Tiger  pigskin-toters  ended  their 
campaign  Monday  night  with  a  sea- 
son's record  of  five  wins  and  four 
losses  and  a  tie  for  second  place  in  the 
tough    western    conference. 

The  Bengals  played  five  games  at 
home  and  proved  almost  invincible 
on  the  Curry  Field  turf,  losing  only  a 
tight  14-12  contest  to  Independence 
here. 

The  Arks  proved  to  be  one  of  the 
state's  outstanding  football  teams  and 
were  lauded  on  several  occasions  for 
their  playing  ability  and  also  their 
clean  playing  and  splendid  sportsman- 
ship.

Bengals  Open 
Basketball  Sessions 

The  Ark  basketballers  inauguarate 
the  current  season  December  3  when 
St.  John's  of  Winfield  invade  the 
local  auditorium  and  play  Coach 
Speer's  cagers. 

The  season  opener  should  have  plen- 
ty of  fireworks  as  the  Johnnies  gene- 
rally always  put  a  strong  quintet  on 
the  hard-boards. 

Last  year,  the  two  fives  s'quared  off 
at  each  other  in  the  season  opener  in 
Winfield  with  the  Bengals  coming  out 
on  top  with  a  44-42  victory.  Ironically, 
the  Speerman  also  copped  the  home 
encounter  by  an  identical  score.  The 
Johnnies  will  be  out  to  get  tomorrow's 
game  under  their  belts. 

Coach  "Bunt"  Spear  and  the  Ark 
roundballers  have  been  worldrg  out 
for  the  past  week,  and  hope  to  be 
reedy  for  the  initial  encounter. 

Some  30  h  >pef  uls  started  the  pre- 
season practice  sessions,  however,  a 
few  have  dropped  the  strenuous  sport.

First  Wheat 
Bowl  Game 
Ends  in  Tie 

The  Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons  and 
the  Coffeyville  Red  Ravens  sloshed 
their  way  through  rain  and  mud  to  a 
6  to  6  standoff  in  the  first  annual 
Wheatbowl  game,  Saturday,  Novem- 
ber 27. 

The  struggle  for  the  Kansas  junior 
college  championship  proved  a  good 
closer  than  was  expected  by  most  of 
Ihe  "experts".  Coffeyville  scored  the 
first  touchdown  on  halfback  Du'i 
Berry's  60-yard  jaunt  with  only  a  min- 
ute and  twenty  seconds  left  in  the 
first  half.  The  kick  was  wide. 

Hutch  did  not  score  until  late  in  the 
third  quarter,  after  muffing  several 
chances,  Bob  Kelly  going  over  tackle 
from  the  6-yard  line  after  a  blocked 
punt.  The  kick,  that  would  have  won 
the  game,  was  far  to  the  left. 

Both  teams  threatened  in  the  final 
stanza  with  Coffeyville  uncorking  an 
affective  passing  attack,  but  neither 
scored  as  interceptions  broke  up  goal 
line  opportunities.  Hutchinson  had  the 
c  dge  in  yardage  with  a  total  100  to  89, 
and  they  also  led  7  first  downs  to  6. 

The  Dragons  accepted  a  bid  to  plav 
Kilgore,  Texas,  in  the  Texas  Rose 
Bowl,   December    11. 


El  Dorado 
Upsets  Ark 
Eleven  19-6 

El  Dorado  Juco  stopped  the  Arks 
November  22,  in  the  division  firab' 
played  on  the  Grizzly  gridiron  with 
a  19  to  16  upset  victory,  which  topped 
the  El  Dorado  homecoming. 

Quickly  takine-  a  13 — point  le-'d  in 
the  first  half,  the  Grizzlies  held  the 
upper  hand  all  the  way  as  the  pi-e- 
viously  potent  Tigers  could  not  pene- 
trate the  Butler  country  wall  of  de- 
fense. 

A  Bengal  drive  in  the  second  quart- 
er found  Berry  pushing  to  pay  dirt 
from  the  6 — yard  stripe  after  a  72 — 
yard  sustained  drive  townfield,  but 
a  lengthy  54 — yard  sprint  by  Paine, 
Grizzly  half-back,  gave  the  home  team 
a  13  to  6  half  time  advantage.  The 
conversion    by    Ewert   was   successful. 

Repeatedly  striving  for  the  tying 
pointer,  the  Speerman  drove  goal- 
ward  early  in  the  third  stanza,  bu'; 
the  El  Dorado  eleven  would  not  re- 
linquish and  held,  after  digging  in 
mi    their    own    three. 

Pence  again  scored  for  the  Grizzly 
gridders  in  the  fourth,  after  a  23-yard 
jaunt  by  Shafer  put  the  ball  on  the 
Tiger  eight. 

"The  boys  pi  yed  good  ball  and 
m."de  few  mistakes,"  said  Ark  each 
"Bunt'  Sp  er.  "but  El  Dorado  played 
heads-up    ball    all    the   way.' 

The  "aine  ended  the  El  Dorado  juco 
homec  n'ing    in    good     style,    as    the 
homecoming  queen  was  crowned  dur- 
ing   half-time    ceremonies.

Wide  OfLfixvitunittf, 

If  any  junior  college  student,  male 
oj-  female,  would  like  an  opportunity 
to  make  full  use  of  his  speech  talents 
or  if  anyone  likes  good  competition 
v  ith  local  and  st  ite  reeongnition,  he 
should  consult  Allan  Maag  as  soon  as 
possible. 

The  opportunity  will  be  the  Forensic 
tournament  at  S  '.  John's  college, 
March  11-12,  1949,  with  plenty  of 
competition  and  plenty  of  local  and 
state  recognition.  Certificates  of  a- 
wards    will    be    presented. 

The  wide  field  of  forensic  activities 
will  give  anyone  and  everyone  an 
opportunity  to  make  full  use  of  their 
speech  talents.   ... 

The  eleven  forensic  events  are  de- 
bate, oration,  oratorical  declamation, 
extempore  speaking,  impromptu 
speaking,  book  reviewing,  story  tell- 
ing radio  speaking,  dramatic  reading, 
bible  reading,  and  poetry  reading. 

"Every  student  who  is  at  all  inter- 
ested in  this  type  of  work  should  begin 
now  to  make  plans  for  this  tourna- 
ment. It  is  indeed  an  opportunity  for 
all",  says  Mr.  Maag  who  urges  the 
students  to  see  him  as  soon  as  possible 
to    begin    preparation. 

There  is  something  for  everyone.

!s  Juco's  Christmas  Present 


Everyone  has  heard  the  expression, 
"Duz  does  everything,"  many  times, 
but  now  the  students  of  ACJC  will  be 
saving,  "We'll  do  everything  to  put  the 
club-rooms  in  good  shape  again." 

Yes,  with  the  help  of  the  student 
council,  the  TAC,  and  all  the  juco 
students,  the  iuco  club-rooms  will  have 
a  "new  look"  for  the  "new  year",  1949. 

"Let's  shoot  the  works  in  fixing  up 
the  club  rooms",  said  Kenneth 
"Whitey"  Falls  as  he  explained  that 
the  entire  room  would  be  redecorated, 
probably  on  Saturday,  Dec.  18. 

Plans  so  far  call  for  new  paint, 
clean  curtains,  repainted  wood-work,' 
a  workable  radio-phonograph,  a  new 
ping  pong  table,  a  new  top  for  the  old 
table,  and  clean  floors.  The  TAC  has 
given  $50  to  help  pay  the  expence  of 
this  project. 

The  last  big  clean  up  of  the  club 
rooms  was  in  March,  1946.  when  se- 
veral jucos  saw  the  need  for  the  clean- 
up. At  that  time,  they  repaired  and  re- 
finished  the  furniture  and  ping  pong 
table,  redecorated  walls  and  obtained 
a  record  holder. 

The  club  rooms  were  officially 
opened  March  18,  1942  with  a  social 
in  the  lounge  and  senior  high  gym. 
This  opening  was  made  possible  by 
the  foresight  of  several  teachers  and 


students.  The-  club  room  was  formerly 
the  old  high  school  shower  and  locker 
rooms. 

This  year  v  itn  the  help  and  coop- 
eretion  rf  evervone,  the  students  can 
".hoot  the  works"  and  make  the  club 
rooms  an  even  more  enioyable  place 
to  be.  The  studen's  of  ACJC  can  give  a 
( hristmas  g'f  t  to  the  school  and  to 
then1 '-"Ives  by  helping  in  every  way 
possi'  le  to  give  the  club  rooms  that 
"new  look"  for  th°  "new  year."

When  the  votes  were  counted  it 
proved  that  Gemar  was  the  new  jus- 
tice of  the  peace. 

Lis  dnti  s  ;  re  many,  most  noted  is 
his  power  to  hitch  people  up.  Ah  hough

Johnnies  In 
Cage  Opener 

Forward  Joe  Berry  pushed  a  set 
shot  through  the  hoop  in  the  final 
seconds  of  a  basketball  thriller,  Dec. 3, 
as  the  Eagles  of  St.  Johns  went  down 
fighting  to  a  33-31  defeat  on  the  Ark 
boards. 

Neither  five  could  gain  more  than 
a  five-point  advantage  at  any  time 
during  the  game,  and  the  lead  change  1

the  cords.  "Rebounding  Bill"  Bart-

the  Arks  with  5  fielders  and  a  single 
charity  toss. 

Ball-hawk  Bill  Clay  played  a  mag- 
nificent floor  game  at  center  and  held 
Otte  to  throe  hits  from  the  field  before 
collecting  4  personals.  Then  Bartholo-

work.  Rutter  and  Bailey  came  up  wit'i 
some  sharp  passing  a-  the  Bengals

Pirates  35-24 
On  Road  Trip 

An  easy  non -conference  victory  was 
ch  Jked  up  by  the  strong  Ark  quin- 
tet Friday  night,  December  10,  as  they 
tripped  the  Independence  Pirates  on 
the  latter's  hard-boards,  35  to  24.  Big 
Bartholomew  agin  led  the  local  scor- 
ing parade  as  he  m  n.iged  to  swish  the 
cords  for  14  points,  and  Clay  was 
second   with    12,   all    from   the  field. 

Only  one  charily  was  converted 
throughout  Ihe  frigid  evening  out  of 
the  10  attempts,  which  shows  approxi- 
mately the  rangy  Speermen's  iciness. 
Had  it  not  been  for  the  craf.y 
rebounding  of  the  locals,  the  story 
might  have  been  considerably  dif- 
ferent. 

Each  man  on  the  fift  en-man  travel-

guard  Bill  Bailey  showing  we'l  as  ha 
dumped  three  fr  m  the  field  and

inframi-ral  competitions,  which  have 
dev  loped  from  successful  experiments 
sever  1  years  ago.  In  ea"h  college  a 
prize  book  or  a  12  inch  world  globe 
is  presented  to  the  student  in  each 
participating  academic  year  who 
makes  the  highest  score  on  a  com- 
prehensive factual  test  covering  events 
in  the  last  four  months  of  the  year.

privilege  of  choosing  either  the  globe 
prize  or  naming  the  book  desired.

Meet  Miss  Cc-Ed 

When  asked  what  her  favorite  food 
was,  Mary  Lou  Tipton,  promptly  sai  !, 
"all  kinds  and  lots  of  it".  This  answer 
was  rather  surprising,  for  Mary  Lou 
weighs  only  114  pounds  and  is  5'  .J  '

Mary  Lou  juco  sophomore,  has 
brown  hair,  sparkling  blue  eyes,  and 
is  full  of  pep  altough  she  is  small. 
Arkansas  City  was  her  birth-place, 
on  April  11,  1931.  She  attended  the 
local  schools  during  her  younger  days, 
but  graduated  from  high  school  i  i 
1947  at  Harding  Academy,  in  Searcy, 
Arkansas,  and  also  completed  her  first 
year  of  college  work  there. 

She  enjoys  football  as  a.  sport  and 
eating  is  her  favorite  pastime.  She 
especially  enjoys  her  first  year  of 
Spanish  this  year  under  the  direction 
of   Miss    Hawley. 

Her  wishes  now  are  to  finish  college 
at  the  Florida  Christian  college,

THURSDAY,    JANUARY    13,    1940 


Three  Games 
To  Be  Played 
On  the  Road 

The  local  juco  five  travel  for  three 
consecutive  contests  in  the  near  fut- 
ure. Two  of  the  games  are  return 
matches  with  Parsons  and  the  St. 
Johnnies  of  Winfield.  The  first  of  the 
trio,  January  16,  will  see  a  strong 
Pratt  ream  playing  host  to  the  Ben- 
gals. Last  year,  the  Prattsters  hung 
iwo  decisive  defeats  on  Ark  City  and 
v  ill  bo  out  to  repeat  their  victories. 
This  tilt  is  expected  to  have  a  decisive 
bearing  on  the  outcome  of  the  title 
run. 

Coach  Ed  Wade  has  eighteen  men 
who  answered  the  call  at  Pratt  and 
is  expected  to  floor  a  better  than 
average  team.  Returning  letter  men 
include  the  Rader  brothers,  Dorl  and 
Lyle,  Ed  Harrington,  Clayton  Reed, 
and  Warren  Chancy.  Coach  Speer's 
boys  will  be  host  to  this  quintet 
January  15,  and  expect  some  speedy 
competition  from  the  western  division 
tive. 

The  following  Friday's  game  pits 
the  occupants  of  the  one-two  berths  of 
the  recent  Chanute  invitational  tour- 
ney against  each  other  at  Parsons. 
Each  team  has  a  victory  over  the  other 
the  Arks  winning  on  their  home  floor 
early  in  the  season  and  Parsons  tak- 
ing the  finale  at  Chanute  by  a  narrow 
margin.  Mawhinney  will  be  the  big 
gun  to  squelch  for  the  high-scoring 
machine.  Center  Bill  Clay  should  make 
a  real  scoring  duel  out  of  the  match 
when  the  two  clubs  meet  January  18. 

The  Johnnies  lay  host  to  the  local 
five  January  21,  when  they  will  try 
to  avenge  an  early  season  42-40  de- 
feat. Big  Center  Otte  will  be  the  oppo- 
nent to  cover  in  this  contest  which 
always  turns  into  an  excitement  pack- 
ed 40  minutes.  The  Tigers  go  into  the 
duel  as  slight  favorites  and  pack  a 
terrific  scoring  punch,  as  they  have 
shown  in  their  recent  outings.

Arkansas  City  Downs 

Hutchinson,  39  37 

Arkansas  City  junior  college  set  a 
terrific  scoring  pace  late  in  the  final 
period,  January  3,  to  down  the  spirited 
Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons,  39  to  37. 
High-scoring  Bill  Clay  poured  through 
19  points  to  keep  the  Ark  nets  scorch- 
ing and  earn  high  honors  for  the  win- 
ners. 

Behind  eleven  points  at  half-time, 
the  Bengal  offensive  machine  began  to 
roll  late  and  the  Tigers  hui\g  16  points 
on  the  scorebooks  while  holding  Hutch 
to  only  three,  to  win  their  hard  earned 
victory.  It  was  the  initial  divisional 
contest  and  gave  them  a  perfect  start 
in  the  percentage  figures.  It  also  put 
Bill  Clay  in  the  number  one  position 
on  the  score  books  of  the  western 
division. 


CoffeyvUle  and   Parsons 
Subdued  by  Bengals 

Coffeyville  invaded  the  Ark  strong- 
hold December  15,  and  found  Coach 
Speer's  highly  regarded  five  as  pote:u 
as  advertised,  taking  a  shellacking, 
38  to  30. 

In  a  rough  and  tumble  affair,  the 
stocky  Ravens  could  not  cope  with  the 
home  club's  fast  moving  attack,  led 
by  hard  driving  Bill  Clay  who  was 
high  for  AC  with  15  points. 

In  the  second  game  of  the  week, 
Arkansas  City  Juco  tucked  another 
basketball  victory  under  their  belts 
December  17,  in  halting  a  tall,  ag- 
gressive Parsons  quintet  30  to  24.  The 
Arks  led  all  the  way,  holding  a  com- 
manding lead  at  the  half,  though  the 
visitors  had  the  entire  starting  five 
returning  from  their  fine  '47-48 
season. 

Coach  Speer's  rangy  Tigers  looked 
in  their  best  form  yet  in  trimming 
their  eastern  foe.  Parson's  could  not 
find  the  hoop  consistently  and  Joe 
Berry  went  high  to  gain  a  large  per- 
centage of  the  rebounds,  while  Bill 
Bartholomew  and  Bill  Clay  showed 
their  ruggedness  under  the  baskets 
in  a  like  manner. 

Clay  was  the  main  cog  in  the  B"~<-- 
gal  offense,  finding  the  hoo-p  for  eight 
counters,  while  Lyle  Rutter  garnered 
seven.

Tigers  Rate 
Second  in 
Chanute  Meet 

Pre-tourney  favorites  the  Ark  City 
round-ballers  lost  in  the  final  round 
of  the  Chanute  Junior  College  Invita- 
tional tournament  Wednesday,  Decem- 
ber 22,  to  an  underestimated  Parson's 
quintet  in  a  ruggedly  fought  game 
for  the  championship.  This  was  the 
initial  loss  of  the  season  for  the  Speer- 
men  in  seven  games.  The  colorful 
locals,  however,  copped  second  place 
honors  and  brought  a  beautiful  tronhy 
to    the   Tiger    halls    for    their    effort" 

The  Tigers  lost  the  services  of  tall 
center  Bill  Clay  and  big  forward  Joe 
Berry  early  in  the  final  half  and  found 
the  fast  Parsons  crew  hard  to  over- 
take. 

Coach  Speer's  Orange  and  Black's 
landed  two  men  on  the  ail-tourna- 
ment first  five.  Bill  Clay  and  Lyle 
Rutter  were  the  honored  Tigermen, 
while  Joe  Berry  earned  a  second  ream 
position. 

Caining  momentum  all  the  way,  the 
strong  Ark  quintet  clashed  with  Cha- 
nute's  powerhouse  and  came  out  on  top 
of  a  53  to  44  score,  to  hang  up  their 
second  win  of  the  tourney  in  the  semi- 
final round,  after  the  rangy  Bill  Clay 
had  exploded  25  counters  to  enable 
Ark  City  to  pass  Independence  in  the 
opening  game  of  the  tourney  Monday 
right. 


Bengals  Whip 
Grizzlies  in 
Home  Opener 

Towering  Bill  Clay  again  led  the 
pennant  bound  Speermen  to  another 
juco-divisional  victory  over  El  Dorado 
by  a  37-27  count,  on  the  home  boards 
January  7  as  he  netted  18  counter; 
to  pace  the  winners  in  the  hecti" 
battle  which  saw  numerous  rule  in- 
fractions during  the  40  minute  scram- 
ble. 

Opening  the  scoring  early  in  t^n 
contest,  Clay  found  the  range  f r-  - 
five  points  before  anyone  could  break 
the  cords.  He  tallied  nine  of  the  first 
twelve  points  registered  for  the  vic- 
tors. Big  Joe  Berry  played  his  usual 
stalwart  brand  of  floor  game  and  add  i 
nine  points  to  the  score  books.  Pill 
Bartholomew  showed  drive  in  hitting 
the  bucket  for  six  points.  The  winnt  r  ■ 
controlled  the  backboards  most  of 
the  way,  using  their  height  to  good 
rd  vantage.

EXPLANATION  __  This  is  a  new- 
variation  of  an  old  theme.  There  are 
no  apologies.  The  Column  will  attempt 
to  second-guess  or  even  editorialize,  if 
possible. 

PRATT the  Ark's  week-end  foe 

is  figuring  to  dent  the  Bengals  win- 
ning record.  The  Beavers  have  been 
smearing  all  their  opposition  and  cur- 
rently share  the  conference  lead  with 
the  Tigers,  both  teams  downing  Hutch 
ar-'  Fi  Dorado. 

They  edged  the  locals  twice  last 
year  and  with  the  Rader  boys  figure  to 
repeat.  Hunter,  classy  colored  flash, 
is  also  up  from  high  school  as  an 
added  threat.  The  game  could  well  de- 
cide the  outcome  of  the  Western  race, 
with  the  winner  a  definite  contender 
for  the  championship. 

MORE Pratt  may  figure  to  win 

<*«  contest — 'and  the  title)— but  if  the 
Orange  and  Black  cagers  should  plav 
as  they  have  in  the  past — the  tide 
could  easily  go  the  other  way.  In  fact,  | 
we  figure   they're  due   for  a  shock.

Have  you  ever  wondered  what  hap- 
pens to  your  nickel  after  it  disappears 
into  the  pop  machine  or  candy  vendor? 

The  student  council  is  responsible 
for  buying  the  pop,  and  its  members 
are  delegated  to  keep  the  cooler  filled. 
The  candy  machine  is  filled  by  indivi- 
dual who  owns  the  machine. 

The  money  gained  from  selling  pop 
and  candy  is  used  to  buy  ping  pong- 
balls,  cards,  and  other  club  room 
equipment. 

Recently  there  has  been  a  misunder- 
standing as  to  who  is  responsible  for 
ordering  pop  when  the  supply  runs 
low.  Only  the  finance  committee  of  the 
student  council  has  the  authority  to 
do  this.  It  has  been  suggested  that 
other  individuals  refrain  from  calling 
directly.  They  may,  however,  notify 
Bernyce  Thomas,  Claus  Thies'  n  or 
"Whity"  Falls,  when  they  notice  that 
the  supply  is  low. 

The  cooperation  of  the  entire  stu- 
dent body  will  make  this  problem  a 
thing  of  the  past.

What  Si^e  2>a 
fyau  Wean? 

A  conveniently  visible  blackmark 
on  the  reputation  of  the  junior  college 
students  of  this  school  is  the  lament- 
able   condition    of    its   club    room. 

Although  recent  cleanup  campaigns 
have  been  organized  by  the  more  am- 
bitious citizens  of  the  college,  little 
general  cooperation  has  been  shown 
with   their   efforts. 

During  the  Christmas  vacation,  a 
group  of  juco  students  devoted  their 
time  and  consumed  much  energy  in 
an  effort  to  improve  the  situation  by 
painting  the  club  room  and  adjoining 
hallway.  It  was  hoped  that  this  im- 
provement might  jar  others  into  tak- 
ing an  attitude  of  appreciation  and 
patriotism  for  their  alma  mater's  wel- 
fare. However,  evidence  to  the  con- 
trary in  the  form  of  black  marks  and 
other  disfigurements  on  the  clean 
wall   has   ruined   their  hopes. 

The  janitors  do  their  part  by  seeing 
to  it  that  the  room  is  swept  several 
times    a    week.    The    only    evidence   of 


The  Basement  Buzz 


Howdy,  all  you  jucos!  There  sure  is 
a  lot  of  snow  'round  'ere,  isn't  there? 
But- -there's  still  plenty  of  buzzing 
'round  ACJC,  so  let's  get  started. 

There  is  still  controversy  over  who 
really  purchased  the  calend  r  in  D.  C. 
Stark's  class  room.  Did  Stark  make 
the  purchase  himself,  or  ,  as  he  claims, 
did  some  of  his  students  pro/ide  the 
Esquire  art  work?  But  wait  __  Did 
Stark  take  it  home,  or  does  he  have  it 
hidden  with  the  other  highly  volatile 
materials  in  his  store  room  ?  !  ? 

Dorthy  Haslett  raised  quite  a  stink 
in  the  halls  last  week.  Seems  she  broke 
a  bottle  of  hand-lotion.  Wonder  if  she 
was  trying  to  soften  the  floors  ? ! 

We're  glad  to  see  Bob  Goodrich  is 
back  to  school  after  spending  a  week 
with  the  measles. 

"What  shall  I  say  about  the  two 
peroxide  blondes  who  had  such  a  fuss 
at    the    game    last    night?''' 

Editor:  "Why.  just  say  thai  the 
bleachers   went   wild." 

Thinking  is  the  hardest  work  there 
i.: -,  which  is  probably  why  so  few

Council  Plans 
Youth  Project 

A  project  of  "Youth  helps  Youth" 
has  been  undertaken  by  the  student 
council.  This  was  decided  at  its  meet- 
ing, January  12.  A  letter  from  the  War 
Department  was  re'ceived  asking  ACJC 
to  write  letters  to  foreign  groups  of 
students.  The  idea  of  the  program  is  to 
spread  assurance  of  how  democracy 
works. 

Royce  Makin  will  be  the  actual  let- 
ter writer,  but  the  students  are  to  pre- 
sent the  ideas. 

Other  business  settled  was  the 
approvement  of  Herb  Jimmerson's 
band  for  the  Tigerama. 

responsibility  shown  by  the  students 
is  in  the  form  of  broken  records, 
marred  furniture,  candy  papers,  brok- 
en tables,  empty  pop  bottles  and  other 
examples  of  misuse  strewn  about  the 
room. 

Because  of  these  deplorable  cond- 
itions, the  club  room  committee  is 
talking  about  closing  the  room  for  a 
short  period  in  an  effort  to  bring  a 
sense  of  appreciation  to  the  students. 

If  cooperation  could  replace  the 
havoc  enusuing  in  our  recreation  and 
study  room,  it  could  be  a  clean,  att- 
ractive, and  neat  place  that  meets 
the  student,  and  public  eye,  instead 
of  a  disorderly,  dilapidated  eyesore. 
If  (he  shoe  fits,  wear  it! 


Harold  Keller  was  sporting  a  band- 
ag  e  on  his  forehead  last  week, 
seems  he  cut  a  small  gash  in  his  head 
when  he  slipped  and  hit  the  radiator  in 
the  hall  b.  cause  of  snow  on  his  shoes. 
Was  that  radiator  picking  on  you__, 
Harold  ? 

Jack:  My  car  has  an  indifferent  horn.

After  Marjorie  Ghramm's  visit  to 
California  this  Christmas,  she  insists 
that  California  should  be  moved  to

just  have  him  move,  Marjorie? 


Pat  Reiswig  (in  pet  shop):  I  like  this 
dog.  but  his  legs  are  too  short. 

Clerk:  Too  short?  They  reach  to  the 
floor,    don't   they? 

There  have  been  rumors  that  Bill 
Cardner  beat  up  his  wife,  CInrlene, 
lact  week.  But — that  skinned  up  nose 
of  hers  is  the  resu't  of  too  much  sled- 
ding at  Spring  Hill.  She  just  decided 
she  could  do  without  her  sled,  and  it 
didn't  work   out   so   well. 

Another  Spring  Hill  casualty  of  the 

sledding  season  was  displayed  by  Jack 

Chambers.    As   a    result   of    trying   to 

run    bis   sled   through   a   tree,   he   was 

limping  around  school  for  several  days 

after.  At  the  last  report,  we  hear  that 

he    busted    six    sled>    in    two    nights. 

When  will  he  1<  am  that  sleds  don't  go 

through  trees  ? !

George  Stanley  reports  that 
Miss  Anne  Hawiey  is  a  very 
good  dancer.  The  Spanish  party 
at  Stanley's  cabin  was  said  to 
have  been  a  big  success  with 
fun  for  all.  Points? 

D.  C.  Stark's  Christmas  ties  have 
made  quite  a  hit  with  his  students. 
They  .become  so  entranced  watching 
the  bright  colors  that  they  forget  to 
listen  to  his  lectures.  Wish  all  the 
teachers  had  received  six  ties  for 
Christmas.

A  little  birdie  (pardon  my  calling 
you  a  bird,  Winslow,  but  1  didn't  want 
to  tell  who  told  me)  tells  us  that  Bob 
Goodrich  is  getting  a  lot  of  use  out 
of  one  of  his  Christmas  presents  this 
year.  We  hear  that  Bill  Bartholomew 
gave  Goodrich  one  of  those  body- 
building Charles  Atlas  courses  and  he 
is  quite  enthused  with  it.  What  lesson 
are  you  on   now,  "Goodie"?!? 

Better  sign  off  for  now  and  start 
studying  so  that  the  second  semester 
will  not  be  a  repeat  performance  of 
the  first.  Remember — keep  your  ears 
open  for  all  basement  buzz  and  tell

Juco  Gym  Girls 
Score  Triumphant 
Victory,  17-8 

Members  of  the  juco  girls'  basket- 
ball team  regained  their  good  spirits 
Thursday,  January  13,  when  they  won 
a  triumphant  victory,  17-8,  over  the 
high  school  girls'  team  who  had  for- 
merly beaten   them   7-4. 

"The  juco  girls  have  improved 
rapidly  in  the  past  few  class  periods," 
stated  Miss  Edith  Davis,  juco 
instructor. 

Since  there  are  so  few  enrolled  in 
the  class  there  has  been  little  oppor- 
tunity for  practice. 

For  the  game,  Carole  Crews.  Janell 
Estep,  and  Ruth  Harvey  played  for- 
ward; and  Waunita  Hite,  Priscilla 
Laughlin,  and  Treva  Harrison  were 
the  guards.  Bonita  Floyd,  forward,  and 
Margaret  Hollowell,  guard,  substi- 
tuted frequently  throughout  the  game. 

Since  no  captain  has  been  elected 
as  yet,  Waunita  Hite  was  acting  cap- 
tain for  the  day.  A  different  girl  acts 
as   captain   each   day.

Ex-Spy  Singer 
Speaks  To  Juco's 

Kurt  Singer,  on  his  transcontinental 
tour  of  the  United  States,  spoke  to  the 
students  of  ACJC,  January  14. 

One  of  the  interesting  things  in  his 
speech  was  that  he  had  lived  in  eight 
different  countries  and  was  closely 
associated  with  the  underground  in 
besieged  countries. 

Singer  told  of  his  publication  of  the 
earliest  German  underground  news- 
papers for  which  the  Nazis  issued  a 
warrant  for  high  treason  against  him. 
He  was  held  a  short  time  in  Sweden 
when  Goering  demanded  that  the 
Swedish  government  confiscate 
Singer's  biography  of  the  Luftwaffe 
chi'  f. 

The  assembly  was  concluded  with 
questions  asked  by  the  audience. 

Oklahoma  A&M  or  Oklahoma  Univer- 
sity. 

He  played  on  the  football  team  this 
year  as  a  halfback. 


A  Good  Cur  Is 

Hard  to  Find 

—  Drive  Carefully 

O  where,  oh  where,  has  my  little  dog 

gone, 
0  where,  oh  where,  can  he  be? 
That's  an  appropriate  epitaph  for 
the  tombstone  of  little  Johnnie  Fulks. 
Johnnie  loved  his  little  doj>',  anil 
though  he  was  only  a  little  boy  of 
three,  he  woulel  have  given  his  life 
to  protect  "Rags." 

And  that  is  just  what  happenend. 
"Rags"  is  not  a  pretty  dog.  Many 
would  call  him  a  mongrel.  But  he  was 
the  best  of  pals  with  Johnnie.  They 
were  inseparable.  But  the  little  dog 
loved  to  dash  into  the  streest  in  hot 
pursuit  of  an  old  alley  cat  This  was 
fun!  Johnnie  followed  "Rags"  yester- 
day, running  after  him  where  ever 
he  went.  And  then  appeared  the  cat. 
Zing!  The  pup  was  off  like  a  shot, 
with  little  Johnnie  tagging  along  as 
best  he  could.  Brakes  screamed.  There 
was  a  soft  thud.  A  woman  shrieked 
from   a  porch. 

The  man  alighted  from  his  car 
quickly,  then  rushed  to  the  hospital, 
too   late. 

Yes,  little  Johnnie  is  gone.  No  more 
will  the  world  hear  his  shining  laugh- 
ter, nor  the  patter  of  his  footsteps, 
following  the  merry  barks  of  his  great 
pal  "Rags".  No  more.  But  "Rags" 
will  still  be  here,  and  after  all,  that's 
what  counts.  For  little  brats  are  a 
dime  a  dozen,  but  a  dog  like  "Rags", 
who  has  sixty-seven  types  of  dogs 
in  him,  comes  but  once  in  a  lifteime.

Twenty  Years  of  Organization 
Are  Fruitful   for   Dinner  Club 


For  approximately  twenty  years  the 
Dinner  Club  .  as  served  as  the  main 
social  organization  of  the  Arkansas 
City  junior  college . 

This  club,  probably  boasting  the 
longest  eininuous  history  of  any  club 
in  the  school,  was  started  by  Miss 
Pauline  Sleeth  as  an  extracurricular 
activity   for   the   speech  class. 

The  purpose  of  the  club  is  to  give 
the  members  of  the  speech  class  an 
opportunity  to  appear  in  a  play,  given 
once  a  year;  chances  to  give  after- 
dinner  speeches,  after  meals  prepareel 
by  members  of  the  class;  ancl  to  give 
each  practice  in  the  fine  art  of  acting 
as  host  and  hostess. 

Give  Formal   Dinners 

Meetings  are  held  on  the  third 
Tuesday  of  the  month.  The  types  of 
meetings  vary  from  large  dinners  to 
picnics    in    the   spring. 

The  highlight  of  the  club's  activi- 
ties is  a  big,  formal  dinner  given  each 


si  mester,    which    members    look    for- 
ward to  weeks  ahead  of  time. 

At  present  there  are  fourteen  mem- 
bers of  the  club.  Officers  are  Bob 
Adams,  president;  Helen  Owens,  vice- 
president;  Edna  Robson,  secretary; 
and  Catherine  Stover,  treasurer.  Miss 
Pauline   B.    Sleeth    is   sponsor. 

Christmas   Dinner 

The  past  semester  was  climaxed 
with  a  Christmas  dinner  prepared  in 
the  school  kitchen  and  served  in  room 
6,  by  members  of  the  club.  The  room 
was  decorated  with  pine  branches  anel 
a  brightly  decorated  Christmas  tree, 
with  presents  beneath. 

Following  the  final  exam  in  the 
speech  class  the  students  enjoyed  a 
luncheon  and  held  a  discussion  of  cur- 
rent affairs. 

The  new  semester  brings  plans  for 
a  "bigger  and  better"  play  to  be  pre- 
sented by  the  class.

The  juco  basketball  squad  have  their 
work  laid  out  for  them  during  the  next 
two  weeks,  when  they  meet  four  tough 
foes  for  a  series  of  five  games.  Hutch- 
inson, Dodge  City.  Garden  City,  and 
Pratt  are  all  on  the  agenda  which  in- 
cludes two  meetings  with  the  touted 
Dodge    City    Conquistadores 

This  Friday  brings  the  Hutchinson 
Blue  Dragons  here  for  a  return  engag- 
ment  after  a  sizzling  two-point  Tiger 
triumph  on  the  Dragon  home  floor. 
The  following  night  pits  the  high-fly-

Bengals  together  in  a  contest  for  the 
undisputed  lead  of  the  Western  Con-

Next,  the  Orange  and  Black  cag?rs

have  little  consolation  in  th,j  fact  that 
most  of  their  opponents  will  be  well

are  considered  a  prime  target  in  the

With  competition  the  hottest  in  re- 
cent year  history,  the  loss  of  any  one 
game    could    throw    the    division    into 
a  snarl.  The  Tigers  have  a  job  to  do.

Arks  Blast  Pratt

Playing  what  was  undeniably  their 
best  game  of  the  season,  an  inspired 
juco  crew  smothered  the  Pratt  JC's 
48  to  38  on  the  latter's  court.  January 
16,  to  garner  a  temporary  claim  on  the 
top  spot  of  the  league. 

The  victory  at  the  same  time  knock- 
ed the  Beavers  out  of  the  tie  f  r  first 
place  by  inflicting  their  initial  loss  of 
the  current  season.  The  issue  of  the 
game  was  never  in  doubt  as  the  Tigers 
grabbed  a  quick  lead  on  big  Joe  Berry's 
goals'  and  hever  lagged  at  any  point  of 
the  encounter.  Priority  performance, 
however,  was  turned  in  by  Lyle  Rutter

three  charity  tosses,  his  lowest  total 
of  the  season.

Juco  Squads 
Get  Hand  In 
Play-Off  Till 

The  first  annual  Wheat  Bowl  contest 
for  the  Kansas  Juco  Championship 
turned  out  to  be  a  financial  success,  for 
the  junior  colleges  at  least.  After  the 
counting  of  the  final  penny,  there  wa  • 
a  gross  income  of  $6,893.1)3  derived 
from  ticket  sales  and  program  tale. 
and  advertising.  The  game,  despite  ad- 
verse and  conflicting  weather  condit- 
ions cleared  a  tidy  sum  of  $3,947.73, 
after  expenses. 

Of  this  sum  the  Kansas  Public- 
Junior  College  Association  re- 
cieved  60%,or  $2,368.64.  and  the 
Wichita  Junior  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce 40%,or  $1,579.09,  as  per 
contract. 

The  K.P.J.C.A.  share  has  been  dis- 
tributed among  the  mtmb.r  schools 
on  the  basis  of  257,  each  to  the  par- 
ticipating teams, 207  to  the  Associa- 
tion itself  and  37  to  each  of  the  re- 
maining ten  colleges.  On  this  system 
Hutchinson  and  Cofl'eyville  received 
$592.16  apiece,  the  conference  $473.73. 
and  each  other  school  an  equal  share 
of  $71.06. 

All  of  which  makes  the  debut  a  suc- 
cessful one  with  the  hopes  of  an  even 
better  record  at  the  finish  of  next

BILL  CLAY__has  retained  his  hold 
on  the  scoring  honors  for  the  western 
division  and  another  Bill,  Mawhiney 
by  name,  is  leading  the  eastern  sector 
after  recent  splurges.  Ark  City  fans 
will  remember  the  Parsons  star,  who 
scored  some  26  points  when  the  Tigers 
were  upset  in  the  Chanute  Tourney 
finale. 

THE  TIGERS-do  indeed  face  a 
tough  night  or  two  in  the  coming 
weeks.  The  race  is  becoming  one  of 
most  fiercely  contested  in  the  history 
of  the  league.  Few.  if  any,  games  are 
.  what  might  be  called  "breathers", 
with  all  teams  capable  of  defeating 
any  of  the  rest  on  the  right  night. 

MORE--this  was  ably  demonstrated 
in  the  latest  games  as  Garden  City, 
downed  earlier  by  Dodge  in  convinc- 
ing fashion,  proceeded  to  knock  the 
props  from  under  the  Conqs  in  turn- 
ing   the    tables...    The    Conqs,    by    the 


Arks  Subdue 
A  Late  Rally, 
Win  No.  10 


Warding  off  a  last  minute  bid  for 
an  upset,  the  Tigers  pulled  a  thriller 
out  of  the  fire,  Tuesday,  to  defeat  the 
St.  Johns  Eagles  42  to  38. 

After  trailing  throughout  most  of 
the  game  by  a  margin  close  to  ten 
points,  the  Johnnies  took  advantage 
of  the  loss  of  Tiger  center  Bill  Clay, 
a  key  offensive  and  defensive  player, 
to  stage  a  red  hot  rally  that  fell  short 
of  the  mark. 

The  Arks  got  off  to  a  good  start, 
and  penetrated  the  normally  tight 
Eagle  zone  with  comparative  ease, 
lapsing  and  driving  for  numerous 
close  snots  and  lay-ups.  All  five  cylin- 
ders of  the  juco  machine  caught  the 
spark  after  Bob  Sneller  opened  the 
local  scoring  wit.i  a  long  set-shot  from 
the  side,  t  lom  then  on  it  was  all  Ark 
City  until  the  departure  of  Clay  on 
personals,  mid-way  in  the  second  half. 

All  members  of  the  squad  displayed 
their  usual  heads-up  brand  of  ball, 
with  Joe  "Horse"  Berry  turning  in 
an  outstanding  game  on  both  defense 
and  attack,  in  addition  to  sweeping 
the  boards.  The  victory  lengthened  the 
win  string  of  the  Tigers  to  10  tri- 
umphs against  a  lone  defeat.  Clay's 
13  counters  were  again  high  for  the

Home-Ec.   Girls   Serve 

Nine  girls  from  the  juco  cooking 
class  helped  serve  tea  and  cookies  at 
the    teachers    meetings  Tuesday. 


Described  by 
Dr.  Schwegler 

Junior  college  students  had  their 
complexes  straighten  out  by  Dr.  Ray- 
mond A.  Schwegler,  noted  University 
of  Kansas  psychologist  and  lecturer, 
at  private  conferences  held  in  the 
afternoon. 

The  noted  speaker  explained  the 
difficulties  of  trying  to  adjust  our- 
selves to  living  and  outlined  the  make- 
up of  the  mind.  The  three  layers  of  the 
according  to  him,  are  the  conscious, 
sub-conscious,  and  instinctive. 

The  first  story  of  tne  conscious  mind 
occupies  10  per  cent  or  less  of  the 
whole,  says  Dr.  Schwegler.  Here  ra- 
tional thinking  and  evaluation  take 
place. 

We   Never   Forget 

The  second  layer  or  the  sub-con- 
scious is  the  storehouse  of  past  exper- 
iences. It  makes  up  about  a  third  of  the 
mind.  According  to  Dr.  Schwegler,  one 
never  forgets  anything  stored  in  this 
part  of  the  mind.  Happenings  and  inci- 
dents are  labled  as  good  or  bad,  plea- 
sant or  unpleasant.  Later  the  pleasant 
things  will  turn  up  again.  The  value  of 
the  labels  are  subject  to  change  by 
suggestion,  the  speaker  added.  Habits 
are  formed  on  this  level. 

Original  instinct  or  basic  drives  form 
the  last  layer  of  the  mind,  stated  the 
lecturer.  These  are  the  fundamental 
drives  and  impulses  that  give  us  the 
want  of  security,  freedom,  and  recog- 
nition. 

Bowl-licking     Impulse 

"Man  has  found  that  living  in  group 
requires  adjustment,"  states  Dr.  Sch- 
wegler. Social  taboo  arises  from  group 
living.  Conscience,  by  his  definition,  is 
the  sum  total  of  taboos  that  are 
acquired. 

"Bowl  licking"  is  the  term  applied 
to  an  impulse  that  has  to  be  curbed  or 
stopped  by  parents  or  others,  while 
the  person  was  still  young.  Mechanism 
of  evasion  are  results  of  this  impulse. 
He  listed  the  mechanisms  of  envasion 
as  rationalization,  compensation,  iden- 
entification,  projection  and  introduc- 
tion. 

Following    the    lecture,    a    question 
period   was   held.    Private   conferencse 
were    held    during    the    dav    with    Dr. 
Schwegler  by  students  wishing  to  have 
questions  answered  and  to  recieve  ad- 
vice from  him.

To  state's  effort  at  a  liquor  bill  as 
now  moved  to  tiie  house  of  representa- 
tives, which  has  introduced  its  own 
brainchild  in  opposition  to  the  senate- 
approved  measure. 

Both  proposed  laws  call  for  splitting 
profits  between  the  state  general  fund, 
and  the  county  and  city  treasuries — 
the  house  50-50,  and  the  senate  80- 
20 — with  the  state  taking  the  biggest 
bite.  From  which  of  the  pockets,  tnen, 
could  the  schools  expect  the  most? 
For  most  schools  are  tax-supported — 
long  having  too  many  words,  and  too 
little  cash  from  our  Sunflower  sc^te 
in   general. 

At  first  glance  the  house  bill  seems 
the  most  favorable,  providing  the 
cities  and  counties  closest  to  t..e  needs 
with  equal  shares  of  the  dividends. 
rl  he  plan  would  back-lire  if  the 
smaller  governments  scattered  their 
shares  over  a  wider  range.  Sorrow- 
fully, they  usually  do — brushing  off 
pleas  with  more  talk  and  even  less 
dough. 

In  this  attitude  the  senate  plan 
would  prove  a  little  more  acceptable, 
assuring  more  of  a  lump  sum  to  be 
distributed  from  a  larger  single 
source — plus  whatever  was  doled  out 
from  the  county  or  city.  In  the  same 
tone,  under  the  house  proposition  the 
state  might  feel  less  obligation  to 
give  away  any  juicy  portions  from  its 
private   slice. 

A  little  hazy  it's  admitted — but  a 
matter  of  concern  as  it  elfects — 
(excepting  the  church) — the  most  im- 
portant institution  for  preserving  our 
free  democratic  life — Education.

The  Basement  Buzz 


Now  that  we  have  all  settled  down 
to  the  steady  grind  of  a  new  semester, 
let  us  paws  to  get  the  lowdown  on  the 
latest. 

Speech  classes  are  interesting- 
things.  Some  of  the  incidents  tnat 
happen  are  quite  funny.  James  Austin 
siarted  hi;  spetc.i  of  introduction 
with,  "I'm  James  Austin,"  from  the 
back    of   the   room   c_.me   a   loud    HIC! 

And  in  the  same  class  Jack  Cham- 
bers was  introduced  as  "the  pedestrian 
for  30  Hays." 

The  qualification  of  a  Californian 
applying  for  a  driver's  license  is  that 
lie  muse  speak  pig  latin,  so  he  can 
talk'   to   the  road  hogs. 

One  of  the  incidents  left  out  of  the 
pep  assembly,  "The  Silent  Interlude" 
was  that  Vincent's  mandolin  was  worth 
six   old   model   "T"   tires. 

ACJC  has  a  cover  girl  among  its 
many  coeds.   Donna  Law  on  appeared 


on   the  Valentine  issue   of  the  K-G-E 
magazine,   "Servicegraph". 

Dominoes  and  moon  are  competing 
for  first  place  against  the  old  favor- 
ite, pinochle,  as  a  pastime  in  the  club 
l  ooms. 

********* 

Jeanine  Womaeks,  alias  Atlanta  An- 
nie, returned  to  school  this  week  with 
a  sprained  ankle.  It  seems  she  was 
another  victim  of  the  "new  look",  a 
tight  skirt,  that  is  for  as  she  descended 
from  a  bus,  she  missed  the  lower  step. 

Many  a  student  would  like  to  drown 
his  troubles,  but  he  can't  get  the  teach- 
ers to  go  in  swimming. 

He:   "The   first  time  you  contradict 
me,    I'm   going    to    kiss    you." 
She:    "You   will    not!"' 

Mrs.  Keene:  "Heavens!  This  is  not 
our  baby.  This  is  the  wrong  carriage." 

Kenneth  Keene:  "Shut  up!"  'ihis 
carriage  has  rubber  tires  on  it." 


Career  as  Student  Manager 


Fits  Future  Coach  H 


ickey 


One  of  the  main  reasons  for  the 
success  of  tiie  junior  college  basket- 
ball squad  this  season  has  been  the 
work  of  a  sophomore  boy  behind  the 
scenes,  student  manager  Eddie  1 1  i  c  - 
key. 

Although  Ed's  chores  are  generally 
the  same  each  week,  his  title  as  stu- 
dent manager  or  trainer  includes  many 
tasks  that  must  be  performed  well 
in  order  to  keep  the  ballplayers  at 
top  efficiency.  Ed  has  been  perform- 
ing these  tasks  very  capably  since 
he  began  his  training  career  as  a 
senior    in    the    local    high    schol. 

Although  the  team  manager  seldom 
c  ;mts  in  for  much  glory,  nis  essen- 
tiality to  a  sniojui-ru..ii  g  ball  c  i> 
has  been  well  proven.  Eddie's  likeable 
personality  and  knowledge  of  athle- 
tics keeps  the  boys  hign,  botn  pnys- 
ically   and    mentally. 

Ed,  who  took  up  training  local 
squads  because  of  the  interesting  work 
and  because  he  likes  to  be  "around  the 
boys",  is  planning  to  major  in  physi- 
cal education  at  Kansas  State  next 
year  and  hopes  someday  to  become 
a  coach.  His  duties  as  student  manager 
are  affording  valuable  experience  to 
him   in   that  field. 

Ed's  favorite  job  in  his  role  as  a 
stuelent  manager  is  the  task  of  bring- 
ing home  a  trophy  after  a  basketball 
tournament     or    track    meet.     During 


his  brief  career  as  student  manager, 
Edilie  has  brought  heme  te   en. 

Ld  claims  that  his  training  duties 
provide  plenty  of  fun  and  thrills.  No 
one  wishes  harder  for  a  Tiger  vic- 
tory than  "Kigbe",  as  many  of  the 
boys  call  him.  Ed  claims  his  biggest 
thrill  came  in  one  of  the  many  pre- 
carious trips  in  the  ancient  blue  school 
bus,  in  December  of  1947.  when  the- 
litis stalled  on  the  ice  during  a  return 
trip  trip  from  Independence.  Ed  also 
g\.t  a  great  thrill  out  of  training  the 
high  school  team  in  1946  under  Homer 
Wesche,  a  team  that  captured  second 
place  in  the  state  Class  AA  tourna- 
ment. 

But  when  Ed  paused  from  his  round 
of  picking  towels,  taping  ankles,  giv- 
ing rundowns,  and  passing  out  equip- 
ment long  enough  to  name  the  favorite 
squad  he  has  been  associated  with,  the 
current  Tiger  basketball  team  got  the 
nod.  Ed  says  the  '49  Tiger  cagers  will 
be  a  team  he'll  "always  remember  as 
tops." 

Bunt  Speer,  Juco  coach,  is  another 
reason  why  Eddie  likes  hi  .  b,  and  all 
the  squad  members  are  sincere  when 
they  wish  Ed  success  in  his  coaching 
ambitions  and  extend  a  hearty  thanks 
to  him  for  a  job  well  done.  There 
is  no  doubt  in  the  minds  of  any  of 
them  that  Ed  Hickey  will  someday  be 
a   topnotch   coach.

I  have  no  chance  to  connect  with

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Vincent  Wilson,  sophomore,  is  our 
choice  as  well  as  his  for  our  Mr.  Ed 
this  time.  After  much  persuasion,  your 
reporter  finally  gave  in  and  inter- 
viewed Mr.  Wilson,  learning  that  he  is 
5'9"  tall,  has  brown  hair  and  two  eyes. 

An  army  veteran,  Vincent  modestly 
related  some  experiences  during  his 
16  months  in  the  service,  and  then 
went  on  to  tell  us  he  was  graduated 
from  school  here,  was  born  here,  moved 
to  Guthrie,  and  then  came  back  here. 

Vincent,  who  is  engaged  to  Miss 
Rosealee  Brown,  has  a  hobby  of  play- 
ing the  guitar.  He  is  taking  the  easiest 
course  offered  in  juco,  and  plans  to  be- 
come President  of  the  United  Stat°s 
after  his  graduation  here.  If  his  chief 
executive  ambitions  fall  through,  he 
plans  to  go  into  business  for  himself. 

Vincent  is  a  pole  vaulter  on  the 
Tiger  track  squad,  and  the  cinder  sport 
is  his  favorite.  Mr.  Ed  also  likes  fried 
c  icken  and  the  song,  "Pon  Goes  the

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

The  Miss  Co-ed  for  today  is  a  very 
attractive  brown-eyed  freshman  girl. 
Naturally,  she  had  to  be  a  girl  to  be 
Miss  Co-ed.  Anyway,  to  get  back  to  the 
subject  (which  isn't  hard  to  do),  our 
dark-haired  lass  is  a  5'6"  eighteen- 
year  old  student  named  Miss  Rieswig. 
Everyone  calls  her  Pat,  though,  be- 
cause that's  her  first  name  and  who 
calls  anyone  by  their  last  name  ? 

Pat  graduated  from  high  school  last 
year  and  is  studing  to  become  a  lab 
technician.  She  plans  to  continue  her 
education  at  Kansas  State.  Pat  was 
born  in  Wichita,  but  moved  to  Ark- 
ansas City  during  her  sophomore  year 
in   high   school. 

Our  Miss  Co-ed  loves  fried  chicken 
and  cherry  pie,  and  enjoys  playing- 
cards  or  listening  to  "Buttons  and 
Bows"  or  some  other  musical  favorite. 
She  thinks  all  the  kids  here  at  junior 
college  are  swell,  especially  Don  Win- 
slow,  but  she  can't  tolerate  people  who 
use  the  expression,  "get  serious.." 

That's  about  all  your  reporter  could 
learn  from  the  interview  except  that's 
she's  busy  the  next  three  nights.

Another  Hard  Jteaitaif- 
Period  Faces

Juco  Squads 

Garden  City,  Coffeyville,  Parsons, 
and  Independence  comprise  a  rough 
two  weeks  for  the  Arks  in  their  last 
ditch  try  for  a  bid  to  the  national 
juco  tournament.  Coach  "Bunt" 
Speer's  charges  must  win  all  four 
games  if  the  hope  for  entry  is  to  be 
kept   alive. 

The  Tigers  last  top  foe  of  the 
Western  Conference,  Garden  City, 
stands  directly  in  the  path  to  the  bid. 
Tile  Broncs  edged  the  Speermen  in  a 
tight  contest  last  week  for  a  scanty 
three-point  victory.  Should  the  Broncs 
from  the  west  be  beaten  Saturday 
there  is  a  good  chance  that  an  invite 
might  be  extended  despite  the  league 
records,  if  Garden  lost  another  con- 
test it  would  be  almost  automatic. 

The  Orange  and  Black  travels  to 
Parsons  to  meet  that  leader  of  the 
Eastern  division  Feb.  18.  Parsons 
boasts  the  highest  scorer  in  the  state 
in  Bill  Mawhiney,  who  has  something 
like  a  26-point  average. 

Two  other  teams,  Coffeyville  and 
Independence,  will  comprise  the 
opposition  for  the  remainder  of  the 
time,  each  of  which  has  dropped  a 
previous  game  to  the  Bengals.  Neither 
five  was  swamped  and  can  be  expected 
to  put  up  a  battle  for  a  revenge 
victory.

Bengals  Blast 
Beavers  With 
25-point  Win 

IJlazing  hot,  the  Tigers  roared  do'vn 
the  court  Tuesday  night  to  hand  the 
Pratt  Beavers  a  basketball  lesson,  and 
clinch  their  hold  on  third  place  in  the 
Western  Conference.  The  victory  set 
the  stage  for  a  royal  battle  for  second 
high  honors,  Saturday  night,  with  the 
Broncs   of  Garden   City. 

The  score  was  the  highest  of  the 
year  for  the  Bengals,  who  led  at  half- 
time  41  to  23.  A  total  ordinarily  res- 
pectable for  the  entire  game. 

Ail  members  of  the  team  showed 
exceptional  form,  particularly  Bill 
Bartholomew,  a  longtime  defensive 
star,  who  turned  in  his  most  outstand- 
ing scoring  performance  of  the  sea- 
son by  finding  the  hoop  for  17 
counters.  Rangy  Bill  Clay  copped  the 
scoring  high  for  the  evening,  however, 
with  eight  field  goals  and  six  frees 
loi-  a  22  point  total. 


Lettermen — and  the  PTA  are 
jointly  sponsoring  a  benefit  program 
ol  basketball  to  be  held  soon.  Ihe 
athletes  are  trjing  to  raise  enough 
neigh  to  p<jy  ior  sweaters  for  grad- 
uating membrrs.  while  tiie  PTA  plqns 
to  use  its  share  on  social  functions. 
Billed  as  a  two  game  attraction  it 
will  test  the  merits  of  two  city  league 
entrys  against  the  Tiger  "B"  and 
"A"  squads.  The  "Bees"  meet  the 
VFW  in  the  opener  aid  the  regular 
five  sees  action  opposite  Miller's,  a 
top  citv  entry. 

E.G.  QUIGLEY— Kansas  University 
athletic  director  and  nationally  known 
sports  figure,  has  commented  at  length 
on  proposed  changes  in  the  rules  of 
basketball.  Reformers  have  joyously 
proposed  that  the  three-second  zone 
across  the  foul  line  be  eliminated  as 
far  as  players  without  the  ball  were 
concerned,  having  it  in  operation 
only  when  the  invader  possess  s  the 
sphere.  The  group  also  advocates  a 
six-foul  rule  to  enable  "better  players" 
to  remain   a  longer  period. 

AGREED — with  Quigley,  who  says 
the  theoretical  changes  would  only 
make  bad  things  worse,  we  certainly 
feel  an  additional  foul  would  not  speed 
the  game  but  induce  sloppy  play. 
Players  attaching  less  importance  to 
the  foul  would  only  bring  more 
whistle-tooting  and  game  stoppages. 
Elimination  of  the  foul  zone  is  pre- 
posterous, as  that  vital  sector  would 
be  even  more  clogged  than  it  is  now. 
"Goons"  under  that  system  would 
have  even  a  greater  advantage. 

PERHAPS— a  better  idea  would  be 
a  standard  interpretation  of  the  rules, 
so  as  to  eliminate  all  controversy  on 
the  sticklers  that  confront  the  team 
that  plays  in  different  sections  of  the 
country  and  meets  vast  differences  in 
foul   calling.

Tigers    Fall  After 
Stunning  Defeats 

The  Ark  City  Tigers  squad  dropped 
from  first  to  third  place  in  league 
standings  last  week-end,  after  being 
swamped  for  the  second  time  in  as 
many  weeks  by  Dodge  City,  and 
losing  a  close  one  to  Garden  City 
despite     a     final     surge. 

The  crucial  trip  pitted  two  of 
the  state's  top  teams  against  the 
locals  in  the  drive  to  aquire  th"ir 
share  of  the  conference  honors. 
Against  Dodge  the  Arks  simply  did 
not  have  it.  The  high-flying  West- 
erners outshot  and  outplayed  the 
local  five,  while  holding  Clay,  high 
scorer,  to  but  four  points  despite 
Berry    and    Rutter's    nine    apiece. 

Garden  was  a  different  story.  Try- 
from  their  western  swing  and  an  out- 
ing  desperately   to    salvage    a    victory

Bengals  Rebound 
After  League  Loss 

In  the  wild  conference  scramble  for 
title  honors  the  Speermen  lost,  then 
regained,  the  lead  as  the  month  of 
January  went  out  and  February  rolled 
in. 

Dodge  City  ended  the  unbeaten  lea- 
gue record  of  the  Bengals  with  a  53 
to  39  pasting  on  the  home  court,  Jan- 
uary 29,  to  temporarily  take  over 
sole  possession  of  the  top'spot.  A  close 
game  until  the  loss  of  ""the  Ark's 
stellar  center,  Bill  Clay,  the  juco's  led 
at  the  half  25  to  23  and  were  behind 
but  one  point  at  the  exit  of  the  pivot- 
man.  But  from  then  on  the  Tigers 
proved  erractic,  muffing  passes,  and 
muffing  passes,  and  loosing  faulty 
shots  over  the  tight  Conq   zone. 

Starting  well  Clay,  Bartholomw, 
and  Rutter  all  found  the  range  but 
the  Dodge  five  soon  retaliated  as 
diminutive  Gene  Taylor  caught  fire. 
The  second  half  was  dominated  by  the 
team  from  the  West. 

The  juco  Tigers  salvaged  a  tie  with 
Dodge  City  for  first  place.,  February 
2,  by  nosing  out  the  always  dangerous 
Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons  48  to  45 
in  a  bang-up  ball  game.  Sparked  by 
Lyle  Rutter,  guard,  Joe  Berry,  for- 
ward, the  local  quintet  bounced  back 
from  the  Dodge  defeat  and  again 
served  notice  of  their  championship 
intentions. 

Long  and  lanky  Bill  Clay  failed  to 
hit  with  his  usual  accuracy,  but  the 
scoring  duties  were  amply  taken  over 
by  Rutter's  eighteen  counters  with 
Berry  sinking  15.  Although  hitting 
but  two  baskets,  Clay  supplied  the 
hand-offs  as  the  Tigers  utilized  their 
scoring   plays   for   easy   shots. 

The  Dragons  scored  first  but  the 
Arks  soon  took  over  the  lead  not  to 
be  headed  again  until  mid-way  in 
the  second  half.  Then  the  score 
changed  hands  five  times,  the  Orange 
and  Black  on  top  a"  the  buzzer 
Coach  Bunt  S  leer  used  an  iron-man 
five  the  entire  game,  making  no  sub- 
stitutions. 


chance  at  the  title  the  Bengals  made 
a  tight  game  of  it  until  the  final 
buzzer.  Though  the  Broncs  repeated- 
ly pulled  away  to  big  leads  the  Tigers 
hung  on  to  tie  the  score  twice  "in  the 
second  half.  And  were  only  three 
points  down  at  the  games  end  43-40. 
Bartholomew  and  Bailey  were  both 
fouled  out  of  the  fracas,  Bart  leav- 
ing   early    in    the    second    half. 

Garden  City  went  in  at  the  half- 
time  with  a  23  to  18  advantage  and 
Clay  returned  to  form  to  annev  high 
honors  of  the  game,  sinking  twelve 
points  in  a  losing  cause.

Tigers  Play- 
Last  Game, 
Enter  AAU 

The  last  regularly  scheduled  game 
of  the  season  comes  up  this  Friday 
as  the  basketball  season  draws  to  a 
successful  close.  El  Dorado,  who  the 
Arks  beat  early  in  the  current  season, 
is  also  the  final  league  game. 

The  Grizzlies  have  yet  to  win  their 
initial  league  game  and  as  this  is  the 
last  chance  can  be  expected  to  be  "all 
out"   for  this  one. 

The  game  would  provide  the  16th 
win  of  the  season  for  the  Bengals  and 
clinch  third  place  honors  in  the  confer- 
ence. 

The  juco  team  has  entered  the  AAU 
tourney  to  be  held  at  Wichita,  start- 
ing Sunday.  Last  year's  entry  got  as 
far  as  the  quarter-finals  before  drop- 
ping a  one-point  thriller  to  the  El 
Dorado  squad.  Bill  Clay  garnered  a 
berth  on  the  all-star  squad  last  year.

Arks  Beat  Cards, 
Drop  Raven  Game 

The  Ark  City  Tigers  pulled  another 
last  minute  rally,  Saturday,  to  eke  out 
a  hair-line  victory  over  the  Parsons 
Cardinals,  51  to  50. 

Sparked  by  Bill  Clay,  tall  and  lanky 
pivot-man,  the  juco  five  poured  in 
nine  points  in  the  last  three  minutes 
while  holding  the  home  team  score- 
less. 

Bill  Bartholomew's  lone  goal  of  the 
evening  won  the  affair  with  just  30 
seconds  left  to  play.  The  Arks  had 
never  led  at  any  time  up  until  the 
final    goal. 

Clay     soaked     the     bucket     for     25 
counters    to    lead    the    scoring,    while 
Mawhiney    had    17    for    the    losers. 
Ravens   Win 

In  the  first  game  of  last  week  the 
Cott'eyville  Red  Ravens  furthered 
their  home  court  jinx  over  the  Bengals 
in   an   upset  win   36   to   23. 

The    Tigers    suffered    their    coldest 
night  of  the -year  although   Clay  had 
scoring   honors    with    12    points.

Bengals  Win,  Lose 
Benefit  Encounters 

Miller's  Farm  Machinery  failed  to 
stop  the  Bengals  in  a  benefit  game 
last  week  and  went  under  the  axe  53 
to  33.  The  juco  substituted  freely  and 
won   without  extending  themselves. 

A  last-second  goal  by  Rutter  gave 
the  VF  W  five  a  33  to  31  win  over  the

Arks  Breeze 
Past  Pirates 
By  22  Points 

The  juco  Tigers  made  their  last 
home  game  a  gocd  one,  Tuesday,  when 
they  swamped  a  thoroughly  out-clas„ed 
Independence  team,  62  m  40. 

Using  every  plaj  :r  available.  Coach 
Speer  kept  his  first  five  off  the  floor 
for    long   periods. 

The  Orange  and  TJl.ick  quintet 
crabbed  an  early  lead  and  soon  moved 
out  of  reach.  The  cor  fused  Pirates 
did  little  during  the  remaining  time 
except  provide  t..e  openings  for  shot 
after  shot. 

The  scoring  for  the  Ark  i  was  evenly 
divided  among  a  number  of  players, 
but  Bill  "Spider"  Clay  stashed  away 
23  for  the  top  of  the  evening.  It  was 
the  second  20-pointer  in  i  >ur  days  for 
Clay,  who  had  a  .625  accuracy  per- 
centage.

Garden  City  Tops 
Arks  By  A  Point 

An  inspired  last-half  rally  dropped 
just  one  point  sh  rt  of  1  ho  mar  ;,  r'eb. 
12,  as  the  Garden  City  L  rones  nosed 
out  a  fighting  rI  iger  quintet,  45-44, 
in    a   contest  crammed  wLh   thrills. 

Behind  14  points  at  tl.e  half,  and 
with  seemingly  no  chance  at  making 
a  game  of  it,  the  jucos  came  roaring 
back  with  a  hustling  all-cver  defense 
that  limited  the  Eroncs  to  five  field 
goals  the  entire  period.  The  Arks  then 
took  over  the  lead  and  wi.h  time  fast 
waning,  looked  to  h.  ve  th  !  game  won. 

But  the  visitors  grabled  the  boll 
out-of-bounds  their  basket,  and  with 
but  three  seconds  loft,  fired  a  pass, 
anil  a  quick  pivot  by  the  lanky  Keller 
sewed  up  the  affa'r  as  the  Tigers 
didn't  have  a  char.L.;  to  put  the  ball 
Lack  into  play. 

Keller's  last  goal,  and  others,  gave 
him  a  19  point  total  and  the  high 
scoring  honors  for  the  evening.  Berry 
was  high  for  the  Arks  With  14,  closely 
followed  by  Rutter's  13  counters.  The 
loss  virtually  eliminated  the  locals 
from  post-season  consideration.

JUCO  Blood  Assembly  Speaker     Practices  for 

'Rosemary5 
In  Progress 

Practice  sessions  are  progressing 
for  the  four-act  comedy  play,  "Rose- 
mary," to  be  presented  by  the  speech 
class,  March  18,  in  the  junior  high 
school  auditorium,  according-  to  Miss 
Pauline  B.  Sleeth,  director.  "Rose- 
mary" is  an  English  play,  dating-  back 
to   1888. 

The  action  takes  place  at  the  cross- 
roads in  Longburton,  England.  Sir 
Jasper  Thorndyke,  portrayed  by  Bob 
Majors,  is  the  host  in  the  comedy. 
Newell  Larson  is  cast  as  the  rough 
and  grumbling  Jogram,  who  has  been 
on  an  extended  visit  in  Sir  Jasper's 
house. 

Captain  and  Mrs.  Cruickshank  (Ed- 
die Hickey  and  Helen  Owens  respec- 
tively), are  lost  in  searching  for  their 
darling  daughter,  Dorothy,  who  we  all 
know  as  Margaret  Hollowell.  She  has 
eloped  with  William  Westwood,  (Ken- 
neth Falls).  Bob  Adams,  alias  George 
Minifie,  the  post  boy,  carries  his  bro- 
gue high  in  one  of  the  comedy  roles. 

Catherine  Stover  is  George's  cap- 
able wife.  The  maid,  who  has  great 
difficulty  with  her  grammar,  is  por- 
trayed by  Edna  Robson.  Artie  Met- 
calf is  Thorndyke's  right  hand  man, 
Abraham,  who  also  carries  a  humorous 
effect   on    the    plot. 

Costumes   will  be   in  style  with  the

80  Pint  Goal 


Arkansas  City's  fifth  blood  donor 
clinic  held  March  3  and  sponsored  by 
the  junior  college,  operated  smoothly 
and  efficiently  to  provide  their  set 
quota  of  80  pints  of  blood,  donated 
almost  entirely  by  junior  college  stu- 
dents and  faculty  members. 

The  Red  Cross  mobile  blood  bank 
was  situated  in  the  basement  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  and  wa^ 
conducted  from  10:30  a.m.  until  3:00 
p.m.  Student  donors  were  amazed  at 
the  efficient.clocklike  procedure  in 
which  the  Red  Cross  workers  con- 
c  ucttd  their  clinic.  A  tasty  steak 
dinm  r  was  served  to  each  donor  fol- 
lowing his  contribution.  George  Stan- 
ley, student  blood  chairman  and  col- 
lege freshman,  was  in  charge  of  the

to  see  how  well  the  students  were 
confirming  their  appointments  and 
minimizing  the  delay  of  processing  " 

Miss  Mary  Sue  Berchaw,  general 
field  blood  representative  of  tne  mid- 
w  stern  area  stated  that  she  found 
the  Arkansas  City  students  umtsnaPy

The  Basement  Buzz 


One  of  this  junior  college's  most 
successful  basketball  teams  has  ended 
its  regular  season.  It  has  produced 
more  wins  than  any  other  squad  for 
long-  r  than  it  is  comfortable  to  re- 
member. 

But  in  what  might  be  considered 
even  more  important  than  the  win- 
ning season,  the  sportsmanship  that 
has  been  displayed  has  been  of  top- 
drawer   quality. 

It  is  regretable  that  this  is  a  point 
worthy  of  special  mention  and  praise, 
but  in  these  days  of  persistent  flare- 
ups    such    conduct    seems    notable. 

Orchids,  then,  are  in  order  to  the 
Tiger  team — and  to  all  those  behind 
it,    They    have    done    a    good    job. 

And  deserved  tribute  should  be 
given  in  special  notation  to  the  one 
man  most  responsible  for  both  the 
sparkling  victorys,  and  the  teaching  of 
good    sportsmanship. 

He  is  a  man  that  has  often  been 
over-looked — when  it  came  to  hand- 
ing out  bouquets  for  a  job  well  done. 
Yet,  he  has  neaily  always  been  the 
deciding  factor  between  success  and 
failure. 

For  no  matter  how  his  teams  fare 
in  the  future,  and  no  matter  what 
material  he  will  have  to  work  with — 
they'll  be  in  good  hands  with —  W.G.

at  other  colleges?  All  this  labor  for 
naught?  That's  what  some  hearsay 
around  these  halls  used  to  be,  but  the 
malicious  rumors  were  finally  put  to 
rest  by  active  and  alert  Tiger  Tale 
staff  members. 

Fifteen  former  students  of  the  junior 
college  from  the  classes  of  1932  to 
1948  were  selected  at  random  and  in- 
terviewed to  determine  the  validity  of 
credits  received  at  ACJC.  Graduates 
in  all  courses,  business,  pre-med,  liber- 
al arts,  and  others  made  the  transition 
without  any  trouble  whatsoever,  they 
indicated,  whenever  work  was  of  ac- 
ceptable quality  and  the  student  con- 
tinued in  the  same  field  of  study. 

"I  received  credit  for  every  hour 
that  I  had  acquired  in  junior  college," 
stated  Earl  Newman,  c'32.  "Altogether 
I  transferred  60  hours,  and  had  no 
trouble  whatsoever  i'1  receiving  full 
credit  for  them  at  KU." 

"All  of  my  academic  credits  were  ac- 
cepted by  uie  University  of  Kansas," 
remarked  D-.  Edwin  Maier.  local  phy- 
sician, c '34.  "And  in  fact,  I  received 
credit  for  more  actual  hours  than  I 
tiiought  I  had  coming." 

Donald  Patterson,  c'34,  was  partic- 
ularly happy:  "I  was  graduated  from 
the  junor  college  with  08  hours  credit," 
he  said.  "1  hadn't  had  physical  edu- 
cation and  of  course  60  hours  only 
were  accepted  toward  a  degree,  but 
even  after  that,  I  found  they  had  still 
given  me  credit  for  physical  education. 
'i  nose  hours  were  transferred  without 
the  least  bit  of  trouble." 

Apply  Toward  Degree 

A  recent  graduate,  Kod.iey  Wils  n, 
c'48,  entered  Emporia  State  Teachers 
Lcllege  w  ith  66  hours  of  junior  college: 
credit.  Of  these  only  60  hours,  plus 
pnysical  education  credit,  were  ac- 
cepted toward  a  bachelor's  degree. 
"Ail  grades,  however,  were  registered 
the  same  as  I  made  them  here," 
Wilson  pointed  out. _ 

Mrs.  Emily  Jane  Yount  Miller  wrote 
at  length  in  reply  to  the  reporter's 
questions:  "At  the  University  of  Kan- 
sas I  was  given  only  a  total  of  60  se- 
mester hours  credit  of  freshman-soph- 
omore level  toward  the  total  of  124 
hours  required  for  graduation.  Four 
hours  were  deducted  generally  from 
total  credits,  but  not  from  any  specific 
courses  or  subjects.  This  was  the  result 
of  their  policy  to  not  accept  more  than 
60  hours  transfer  credit  from  any  coll- 
ege for  two  year's  work. 

Mrs.  Miller  is  presently  enrolled  in 


the  Graduate  School  of  Northwetern 
University  where  she's  been  working 
toward  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Phil- 
osophy in  the  School  of  Speech  for  the 
last  two  years.  Upon  applying  for 
entrance  there,  her  undergraduate 
work  taken  at  Arkansas  City  Junior 
College  and  Kansas  University  was 
accepted  at  its  face  value. 

Presently  a  student  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Oklahoma,  Earnest  Taton,  c'48, 
commented  that  "58  hours  of  junior 
college  credits  were  acknowledged  and 
grade  points  transferred  at  a  1.2  avei'- 
age." 

Accepted   with   Scholarship 

"As  far  as  I  remember  now,  my 
junior  college  credits  were  accepted," 
stated  Mrs.  Vergie  Mae  Bryant  Buch- 
ele,  c'  35.  "At  least  1  was  admitted  to 
the  school  of  business  as  a  junior  and 
was  graduated  from  KU  two  years 
later  with  a  degree  in  business  admin- 
istration. I  had  to  take  no  courses  in 
KU  for  makeup  work,  or  "no  credit," 
as  is  sometimes  required  if  the  grades 
earned  in  junior  college  are  too  low.  If 
the  courses  are  in  the  desired  field  and 
grades  passing  and  high  enough,  KU 
accepts  work  done  in  junior  colleges  at 
their  full  value." 

Eugene  Cornish,  managing  editor 
of  the  Garden  City  Daily  Telegram,  c' 
34  was  emphatic:  "All  ot  my  Ai'Kansas 
City  juco  credits  were  accepted  with- 
out question  at  the  University  of  Chic- 
ago on  a  scnolarship  basis  when  I  tran- 
sferred there  as  a  junior.  1  went  on  to 
get  my  master's  degree  in  business 
administration." 

"All  of  my  junior  college  credits 
were  accepted  at  full  value  at  the 
University  of  Southern  California," 
said  Donald  Hickman,  local  attorney 
c'32. 

Speech   Hours   Satisfactory 

Dr.  Jess  Ruf,  veterinarian,  c'48  was 
a  lone  exception.  "I  had  to  begin  again 
as  a  sophrmore  at  K; nsas  State  ar  r 
completing"  junior  college,"  Dr.  Ruf 
:  aid.  "Hov  ever,  I  had  a  few  more 
hours  credit  than  other  sophomores 
\vh  i  began  c  liege  at  Kansas  State.  It 
stems  tha^  the  professional  schools 
si  metimes  cut  yotlr  hours  more  because. 
the  junior  college  can't  give  you  all 
that  is  required  for  certain  fields  of 
study." 

Ray  Sandefur,  Iowa  City,  Iowa,  e'24, 
found  that  of  64  semester  hours  earn- 
ed at  ACJC,  60  were  accepted  toward 
a  degree  by  Emporia  State  Teachers 
college.  The  remaining  four  were  not 
counted  toward  the  120  hours  required 
for  a  maximum  transferable  from  a 
junior  college  at  that  time  was  60 
hours. 

"After  my  graduation  from  Empor- 
ia," he  added,  "I  had  all  my  credits 
accepted  without  question  by  the 
Graduate  School  of  the  University  of 
Colorado." 

"After  receiving  my  master's  degree 
from    Colorado,    I    again    had    all    my 


undergraduate  credits  accepted  by  the 
State  University  of  Iowa's  Graduate 
School.  Incidentally,  in  my  doctoral 
program  I  indicated  as  part  of  my 
speech  background  as  an  undergrad- 
uate, the  speech  courses  I  had  taken 
at  ACJC.  Those  hours  were  accepted 
as   satisfactory." 

"Following  my  graduation  from  jun- 
ior college,  all  of  my  credits,  with  the 
exception  of  typing,  were  accepted 
by  Ottawa  University,"  Mrs.  Mary 
Holman  Stowell,  Monmouth,  Oregon, 
c'  39.  wrote  reporters. 

Sixty    Hours    Transferred 

Mrs.  Madge  Sneller  Krause,  Plains, 
Kansas  housewife,  c'  42,  had  the  usual 
experience:  "When  I  was  graduated 
from  Arkansas  City  junior  college  and 
transferred  to  Kansas  State  Teachers' 
College  at  Pittsburg,  60  of  my  juco 
credit  hours  were  accepted  toward 
graduation." 

Mrs.  Marcalee  Ferguson  Robe,  525 
North  Summit  Street,  c'  41,  reported: 
"All  my  junior  college  credits  from 
Arkansas  City  were  accepted  at  Okla- 
homa A  and  M  college  when  I  enrolled 
there  in  1941.  A  "C"  average  was  re- 
quired." 

Dean    Slates    Findings 

Apprised  of  the  findings  of  staff 
investigations,  Dean  K.  R.  Galle  evin- 
ced no  surprise.  The  facts  tallied  with 
his  experience  in  recommending  hun- 
dreds of  students  to  other  institutions. 

"I  am  glad  that  the  Tiger  Tales 
staff  made  this  investigation,"  he 
said.  "It  reveals  very  clearly,  on  the 
basis  of  first  hand  information,  what 
may  be  expected  in  regard  to  junior 
college  credits. 

"Whenever  an  individual  states  that 
he  or  she  has  had  credit  transfer  dif- 
ficulties, as  a  rule,  an  investigation 
will  reveal  one  or  two  irregularities  in 
the  students  junior  college  record.  The 
first  difficutly  may  be  low  grades.  A 
student  with  at  lea«t  a  "C"  average 
will  experience  little  transfer  diffi- 
culty, provided  a  second  condition  has 
been  met,  namely,  that  the  courses 
required  for  a  degree  or  training- 
objective  sought  by  the  student  have 
been  included  in  his  program  of 
studies.  While  in  such  cases,  the 
student  really  does  not  lose  credit, 
required  courses  not  taken  during  the 
first  two  years,  must  be  included  in 
the  program  of  the  last  two  years. 
So  it  is  very  important  that  a  student 
familiarize  himself  with  the  require- 
ments of  his  training  objective.  And 
bear  in  mind  that  the  requirements 
may  not  be  exactly  the  same  in  two 
different  schools.  Select  your  final 
school  as  early  as  possible,  become 
familiar  with  its  requirements,  and 
then  plan  your  junior  college  program 
accordingly. 

"Students  who  have  planned  wisely 
and  then  do  a  grade  of  work  in  junior 
college,  will  have  very  few  difficulties 
in    transferring    credit."

Tigers  Get  Long  Awaited 
Bid  to  National  Regionals, 
Nebraska  Five  Withdraws 

Speermen  Leave  Early  Wednesday  for  Qualifying 
Round  with  Touted  Kansas  City     Team    at     Seven; 
Two  Finalists  to  Go  To  National     Juco     Tourney 


The  Arkansas  City  Tigers  accepted 
a  long  awaited  invitation  to  the  Nat- 
ional Junior  College  Regional  Tourna- 
ment, late  Monday  afternoon.  The 
tourney  was  scheduled  to  get  under- 
way last  night  at  seven  o'clock  wjth 
the  Arks  leaving  Wednesday  morning 
to  go  against  a  strong  Kansas  City 
juco  team. 

The  Tigers  have  their  strongest 
team  in  years,  but  had  given  up  hope 
of  attending  after  losses  to  Dodge 
City  and  Garden  City.  Nebraska  teams 
previously  asked,  however,  were  un- 
able to  come,  and  on  the  basis  of  their 
line  record  and  recent  wins,  the  local 
five  received  the  nod  to  fill  out  the 
ten-team    bracket. 

After  accepting  the  offer  to  play 
in  the  juco  meet,  Coach  "Bunt  Speer" 
withdrew  his  team  from  the  Kansas 
AAU  tournament,  held  in  Wichita.  The 
Tigers  were  to  have  played  the  Kiowa 
Jewelers   Tuesday   night. 

The  juco  dribble  derby  is  the  big 
affair  in  mid-western  circles  with  the 
winners  garnering  an  all-expenses- 
paid  trip  to  the  National  Tournament, 
held    at    Hutchinson,      Kansas,     from 


March  22  through  the  26th. 

Should  the  Arks  win  their  prelim- 
inary elimination  round  against  the 
K.C.  Blue  Devils,  they  will  meet  the 
Missouri  Baptists  from  Poplar  Bluff, 
Missouri,  at  1:30  today. 

The  pairings  have  been  divided  into 
two  brackets  for  the  four-day  play- 
offs, and  both  fives  qualifying  for  the 
finals  of  the  regionals  will  be  eligible 
to  compete  as  Kansas  repres.ntaLi.es 
of  region  six  to  the  national. 

The  Pairings 
WEDNESDAY  ...  7:00  PM  —  Ark 
Citv  JC  vs  Kansas  City  JC;  8:30  PM—

Many  Out  For  Track  Team, 
But  Tennis  Squad  Needs  Men 


Spring  is  here!  Workouts,  the  per- 
ennial indicators,  are  already  under- 
way for  the  juco's  two  major  spring 
sports,  track  and  tennis. 

Coach  Ray  Judd's  defending  state 
champion  racket-swingers  are  ham- 
pered somewhat,  as  most  members 
are  also  members  of  the  basketball 
squad,  but  early  sessions  are  on  the 
agenda  at  the  final  buzzer  of  the  post- 
season game. 

In  the  meantime,  the  Tiger  track- 
men have  begun  jogging  the  Curry 
Field  oval  and  going  through  the  pre- 
liminary exercises.  The  thinclads  are 
trying  to  whip  into  shape  faster  this 
season,  in  order  to  schedule  some  of 
the  earlier  meets. 

Both  of  the  teams  face  tough  com- 
petition this  year  with  nearly  all  jucos 
reporting  some  strength  in  the  two 
sports.  The  tennis  team,  particularly, 
has  lost  several  of  the  better  men   of 


last  year,  although  Bill  Clay,  number 
one  swinger,  is  again  back.  Strong 
support  is  expected,  however,  from 
letterman  Bob  Sneller,  who  is  the 
only  returning  eligible  player  besides 
Clay.  Frosh  players  up  from  the  high 
school    are    Bailey    and    Bartholomew. 

For  the  cindermen,  Coach  "Bunt" 
Speer  has  Erwin  Work,  Doyle  Gil- 
strap,  Joe  Berry,  Dave  Hearne,  Mar- 
vin Wilhite,  Elmer  Morris,  and  Bill 
Gardner  as  lettermen  and  promising 
freshman  in  Murray  Boyles,  Bill 
Morris,  Wayne  Peters,  John  S*hueh- 
man,  Warren  Isom,  Bob  Holloway, 
and   others. 

Still  more  men  are  needed  to  round 
out  well-balanced  teams  in  all  events. 
Coaches  Speer  and  Judd  have  issued 
a  call  for  all  able-bodied  males  to 
report. 

Who  knows?  You  may  be  a  cham- 
pion. 


Bengals  Sock 
El  Dorado  By 
55-33  Count 

Effectively  closing  the  lid  on  the 
league  season,  the  Tigers  of  '49  hung 
victory  number  16  on  the  hook,  and 
sewed  up  third  place  in  the  conference 
standings  by  erasing  out-manned  El 
Dorado,  55  to  33. 

The  cellar-dwelling  Grizzlies  failed 
to  win   a   single   league   contest. 

Starting  fast,  the  Arks  soon  jumped 
into  the  lead  and  piled  up  an  insur- 
mountable 30  to  19  margin  at  half- 
time.  Paced  by  their  all-star  center, 
Bill  "Spider"  Clay,  the  Bengals  hit 
from  all  angles,  unveiling  a  roaring 
fast  break  that  flashed  in  for  several 
easy  buckets. 

Bonnell,  highly  touted  Grizzlie 
scorer,  was  held  in  check  by  Clay  and 
counted  but  11  points,  while  the  local 
pivoter  sank  23  for  his  third  con- 
secutive  twenty   point  performance. 

Coach  Speer  suited  up  twelve  men 
and  used  them  all.  Starters  were  Clay, 
Berry,  Thiesen,  Rutter,  and  Bartho- 
lomew.

Day  of  Prayer  Is 
Observed  in  Chapel 

An  assembly  in  observance  of  the 
World  Brotherhood  of  Prayer  was 
held  in  the  junior  high  auditorium 
March  4,  with  the  general  theme  be- 
ing, "The  Lord  is  Thy  Keeper." 

Dave  Hearne  was  in  charge  of  the 
program  and  introduced  Phil  Parker, 
who  led  the  group  in  several  religious 
songs.  Marjorie  Ghramm,  Royce  Mak- 
in,  Helen  Leach,  Edna  Robson,  and 
Waunita  Hite  led  the  student  body 
in  prayer.  A  juco  girls'  sextette  com- 
posed of  Mary  Pudden,  Janell  Estep, 
Norma  Baker,  Virginia  Banks,  Treva 
Harrison,  and  Marjorie  Ghramm  sang 
and  Bill  Gemar  closed  the  program 
with  two  solos. 


Juco's  To  Forensic  Meet 

The  junior  college  forensic  squad 
made  up  of  nine  members  and  A.E.

Friday  morning  for  a  forensic  meet  at 
St.  Johns  College.  Five  events  have 
been  entered.

Ping  Pong 
Tourney  Is 
Next  Week 

The  second  annual  spring  ping  pong 
tournament,  co-sponsored  by  the  Tig- 
er Tales  and  the  student  council,  is 
slated  to  get  under  way  next  week  in 
the  juco  club  rooms. 

With  the  resurfacing  of  the  college 
table  complete,  the  fastest  tourney  yet 
held  is  expected  with  a  large  field  of 
table  tennis  artists  competing  for  the 
prizes. 

An  entry  fee  ot  ten  cents  will  again 
be  taken  to  defray  tjurnament  expen- 
ses and  to  purchase  prizes.  All  college 
students,  who  wish  to  enter,  male  or 
female,  are  asked  to  have  their  dimes 
ready  early  next  week  when  tourney 
eomm.tteemen  collect  names  for  the 
bracket-drawing. 

The  big  singles  event  was  won  last 
year  by  "Whitey"  Falls,  who  will  be 
favored  to  repeat  this  spring.  Strong 
competition  is  expected,  however,  from 
Gerald  Gregory,  Bob  Sneller,  and 
others. 

It  is  hoped  that  an  all-girls  tourna- 
ment, a  doubles  tourney,  and  a  mixed 
doubles  affair  can  be  held  before  the 
end  of  the  semester. 

The  cooperation  of  everyone  is  ask- 
ed in  making  the  spring  tournament 
the  best  ever  held.

Metcalfe  Appears 
In  Juco  Assembly 

An  interesting  and  educational 
lecture  on  world  affairs  was  given  by 
the  famous  journalist,  John  C.  Met- 
calfe, before  the  college  assembly, 
March   14. 

Mrs.  Metcalfe,  former  Washington 
diplomatic  correspondent  for  Time 
magazine  and  the  New  York  Herald 
Tribune,  spoke  of  his  experiences  in- 
side Germany  and  discussed  his  views 
on  the  international  problem  of  peace. 

"The  whole  world  is  haunted  by  the 
fear  of  war",  commented  Mrs.  Met- 
calfe in  his  address.  He  added,  "The 
chances  against  war — not  the  chances 
for  peace — still  are  superior." 

Mr.  Metcalfe  concluded  his  lecture 
with  this  ad\ice  for  the  United  States, 
"It  is  well  and  good  to  debate  all 
cur  issues,  all  our  projected  policies. 
But  once  we  have  reached  the  decision, 
iet  us  Ptand  united  as  one  greai  voice 
for  freedom,  justice  and  peace.  And, 
above  all,  let  us  leave  our  domestic 
politices  at  our  shores,  or  our  whole 
foreign  policy  will  crumble  into  dust!"

Statistics  Show  The 
Past  Cage  Season 
Was  The  'Best  Yet' 

With  tin-  rapid  approach  of  Sprint!.', 
another  basketball  season  has  become 
history.  The  L948-49  junior  college  cage 
season  just  completed  will  not  soon  be 
forgotten,  as  Coach  Bunt  Speer's 
charges  romped  to  eighteen  victories 
in  twenty-six  contests  for  the  most  im- 
pressive record  in  the  school's  history. 

The  Tigers,  who  finished  in  fourth 
place  in  the  big  regional  meet  at  Dodge 
City,  also  scored  more  points  than  any 
other  local  juco  team  ever  poured 
through  the  hoops  by  racking  up  1201 
points  this  season  to  their  opponents' 
1055.  The  Arks  averaged  over  46  points 
per  game  to  the  opposition's  40.  The 
most  points  scored  in  one  game  by  the 
Bengals  was  75  against  Missouri 
Baptists  in  the  regional  tournament, 
and  the  season  low  for  one  game  by 
the  Speermen  was  23  points  at 
Coft'eyville.  The  most  points  scored 
against  the  Arks  was  65  points  racked 
up  by  Coffeyville  in  three  overtime 
sessions  in  the  third  place  finale  at  the 
regionals. 

The  Tiger  offense  really  began  to  roll 
towards  the  latter  part  of  the  season, 
and  scores  in  the  fifties  and  sixties 
were  common.  The  Tigers  were  the 
highest  scoring  team  in  the  regional 
meet.  The  Bengal  defense  was  also  a 
high  point  of  the  strong  showing,  with 
the  best  defensive  display  coming  ag- 
ainst Independence  and  Parsons,  who 
were  both  limited  to  24  points  by  the 
local  jucos. 

Big  Bill  Clay  poured  in  377  points, 
averaging  14.5  points  per  game,  to 
set  a  new  individual  mark.  Clay  tall- 
ied 28  points  in  one  game  and  scored 
18  or  more  points  in  a  game  on  nine 
occasions. 

The  Tigers  only  lost  two  games  here 
all  season,  one  a  heart-breaker  to  the 
potent  Garden  City  Busters  on  a  last- 
second  field  goal. 

Lyle  Rutter  and  Joe  Berry  tied  for 
runner-up  individual  honors  with  216 
points  each.  Bill  Bartholomew  was 
close  behind  with  204  points,  and  Don 
Winslow  was  fifth  with  89  tallies.

to  watch  the  boys  run,  and  no  wond:r

Doyle  and  Lyle,  track  carpenters, 
were  working  on  hurdle  steps,  Wilhite 
was  ruining  the  mile,  and  Ev  rett 
Lockwood  was  running  the  team  down. 

Murry  Boyles  and  Erwin  Work  are 
the  medical  aid  men  on  the  team.  At 
least  I  heard  that  they  were  splinters. 

John  Schuchman  and  Bill  Morris  are 
building  up  the  track.  It  seems  that 
they  are  relayers.

Meet  Miss  Co-Ed 

Marilea  Heck,  freshman  and  the 
girl  with  the  broad  shoulders,  n  Miss 
Coed  for  this  issue.  This  green-eyed 
lass  has  the  uncanny  ability  of  listen- 
ing to  people's  troubles.  Problems  of 
all  kinds  are  heard  bv  juco's  Dorothy 
Dix. 

Being  a  little  Christmas  bundle  she 
was  born  December  26,  1930  some- 
where in  Oklahoma.  She  attended  the 
Dodge  City  high  school  her  sophomore 
year,  then  moved  to  Ark  City.  The 
ambition  of  this  5  foot,  7  inch  gal  is 
to  be  a  home  economics  teacher. 
Marilea  likes  to  sew  and  do  as  little 
as  possible  otherwise.  "My  favorite 
pastime  is  playing  pinochle  and  well 
— other  things,  too,  like  playing 
moon,  "  says  this  girl  with  the  light 
brown  hail'. 

She  plans  to  continue  school  after 
graduating,  but  as  yet  she  does  not 
know    where. 


Coach  Speer  remarked  that  two  of 
his  key  men  were  sick.  For  five  days 
now  they  had  been  heaving  the  javelin. 

Dave  Hearne  says  that  he'd  very 
much  like  to  take  home  a  sure  q.iarter 
this  year,  while  Elmer  Morris  states 
clearly  that  he'll  be  satisfied  with  tak- 
ing home  a  "fifth". 

1  can't  figure  out  why  Ed  Hickey 
isn't  running  this  year,  he  has  two 
perfect   athletes'   feet. 

Well,  that's  about  all  that's  going  o  i

Meet  Mr.  Ed 


The  president  of  the  sophomore  class 
and  favorite  son  of  Silverdale  for  1941 
is  the  object  of  this  tale,  namely  Ral  >h 
Jack  Warren  (Jack).  He  is  better 
known  to  some  as  the  Cowboy  Casa- 
nova of  junior  college.  This  6  foot,  2 
inch,  19-year-old  hunk  of  brain  and 
brawn  has  brown  hair,  brown  eyes 
and  weighs  approximately  180  pounds. 

He  was  born  in  the  Capital  (Silver- 
dale)  on  October  25,  1929.  His  hobby 
is  horses  and  he  enjoys  eating  apple 
pie,  and  more  apple  pie.  Jack  attended 
the  Ark  City  high  school  where  he 
developed  a  liking  for  football,  now 
his  favorite  sport.  He  has  lettered 
both  years  as  a  tackle  on  the  junior 
college  team. 

Although  his  real  amibition  is  a 
secret  (to  us  anyway),  he  is  studying 
to  become  a  doctor.  He  plans  to  attend 
Kansas  University  after  graduating 
from  juco  this  spring.

Juco  Speech  Class  Prasents  "Rosemary" 


Members    of    the    "Rosemary"    cast 
are:  front  row,  left  to  right,  Margaret 


Hollowell,     Bob     Majors     and     Helen 
Owens.  Second  row:  left  to  right,  Ken- 


neth Falls,  Edna  Robson,  Newell  Lar- 
son, David  Hearne,  Ed  Hickey,  Bob 
Adams,  and   Artie  Metcalf. 


"Rosemary",  the  junior  college  pro- 
duction of  an  old  English  play,  was 
veil  received  by  a  i<*rge  audience 
Friday,  March  18,  in  the  junior  hign 
auditorium.  The  pL.y  was  presented 
under  the  direction  of  Miss  Pauline 
B.    Sleeth,    speech    instructor. 

Peculiar  lightning  effects  made  the 
setting  for  the  first  act  as  the  "shaz" 
had  sheared  a  wheel.  Miss  Margaret 
Hollowell  and  Kenneth  Falls  were 
cast  as  the  two  who  had  eloped.  Post- 
boy George  was  the  ab'e  Bob  Adams, 
who  was  indeed  helpful  even  through 
he  was  no  scholar.  Bob  Majors,  the 
second  lover,  was  well  case  as  Sir 
Jasper,  who  took  the  lovers  into  his 
home  on  good  faith.  Artie  Metcalf 
was  the  obedient  servant. 

Helen  Owens  and  Ed  Hickey  com- 
prised the  parents,  who  were  in  hot 
pursuit  of  the  eloping  pair,  and  found 
lodging  in  Sir  Jasper's  home  also. 
Edna  Robson  was  the  maid  who  found 
it  difficult  to  elude  Bob  Adams 
advances  in  one  scene.  Newell  Larson 
tried  desperately  to  keep  Majors  from 
falling    in    love    with    Margaret    Hol- 


lowell. Wanda  Joyce  Childs  took 
Katherine  Stovers  place  who  was  ill 
and   I  ecame   the  wiie  i  f  tie  post-boy. 

Trouble  v  as  averted  however  and 
the  wedding  proceeded  as  planned  in 
London.  Dave  Hearne  aged  90  climaxed 
the  play  with  the  scene  50  years  after 
the  original  action  when  he  recall' d 
with  difficulty  the  gift  of  a  spring 
of  Rosemary  from  the  bride-to-be. 

Royce  Makin  and  George  Stanley 
were  the  capable  stage  managers  who 
were  responsible  for  the  efficiency  of 
the  sets  and  the  art  in  the  windows. 
Phil  Parker,  electrician,  did  a  splendid 
job  in  the  lighting  effects.  The  light- 
ning was  very  good,  as  was  the 
soliloguy  in  the  final  act.  Helen  Leach 
pnd  Dorothy  Vanskike  had  charge  of 
the  properties.  Duane  Palmer  designed 
and   printed  the   programs. 

The  cast  enjoyed  a  party  following 
the  play  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Bob  Adams.  A  pin  was  presented  to 
Miss  Sleeth,  who  directed  the  comedy. 
She  also  received  a  carnation  corsage. 

Seniors  of  the  Cambridge  and 
Burden  high  schools  were  guests  at 
the  play.

Speerman  Nab 
Scoring  Title 
Fourth  Place 

The  juco  Tigers  proved  their  mottle 
two  weeks  ago  in  the  NJCAA  region- 
al by  advancing  to  fourth  place  in 
the  meet  after  hope  of  even  going  at 
all   had  seemingly  vanished. 

The  Arks  dropped  two  close  ones 
but  loomed  as  a  major  threat  to  title 
chances  at  all  times.  In  the  semi-finals 
the  Dodge  City  Conks  were  extended 
to  the  limit  before  pulling  out  a  nar- 
row eight-point  victory  in  the  final 
minutes. 

Lanky  Bill  (Spider)  Clay  sparked 
the  Arks  in  their  bid  for  an  upset, 
and  proved  the  most  valuable  player 
of  (he  playoffs,  while  set < inu  new  in- 
dividual   highs    in    scoring. 

The  Bengals  made  sensational  tour- 
ney news  in  their  first  two  games  by 
eliminating  a  touted  Kansas  City  team 
and  then  blasting  the  highly  rated 
Baptists  of  Missouri,  75-50,  for  the 
largest  score   in   the  games   played. 

The  Black  and  Orange  placed  three 
men  on  the  all-star  team — equal  to 
the  amount  placed  by  the  champs 
themselves,  Dodge  City.  Clay,  Joe 
Berry,  and  Lyle  Rutter  all  made  the 
stellar    squad. 

Coffeyville  upset  the  locals  in  the 
consolation  game  for  third  place,  drop- 
ping the  Speermen  after  three  (3) 
overtimes,  57-51.  Dub  Berry  was  hot- 
ter than  a  day  in  July  to  top  the  Ra- 
vens by  dunking  30  points  in  the  55 
minutes    played. 

The  team  had  withdrawn  from  the 
AAU  tourney  at  Wichita,  Kansas,  in 
order  to  enter  the  regionals.

BASKETBALL— has  finally  left  the 
way  clear  for  the  return  of  the  sea- 
sonal sports — but  apparently  some  of 
the  players  wanted  one  last  fling.  At 
any  rate,  the  box  scores  of  the  annual 
Grenola  invite  revealed  a  surprising 
number  of  jueo  names — along  with  a 
few  high  school  boys. 
TWO  TEAMS — were  made  up  almost 
entirely  of  cellar-dwellars — and  true 
to  the  highest  juco  traditions,  one  of 
them  (Central  States)  won  the  affair 
without  a  great  deal  of  trouble. 
SPORTING— such  names  as  Clay, 
Berry,  Rutter,  Gilstrap,  and  Bartholo- 
mew, they  eliminated  the  school's 
other  contribution  to  Ark  City  fame 
(Independents)  in  the  quarter-finals 
— which  was  sparked  by  Sneller,  Tho- 
mas, Chaplin,  Gardner,  Godfrey,  John- 
son, and  Greer — to  mention  a  few. 
NOT  TO  BE— left  out,  Don  Winslow, 
lone  remaining  member  of  the  first 
five,  joined  a  Geuda  Team  which  got 
as  far  as  the  quarter-finals. 
FOCUSING — our  attention  again  on 
the  sports  at  hand,  we  find  that  a  ra- 
ther stiff  schedule  faces  both  Tiger 
spring  entries — and  to  start  off  both 
teams  have  scheduled  early  meets — 
perhaps  in  the  theory  that  the  early 
bird   .   .   .   .etc. 

SATURDAY— the  Thinclads  have  a 
tentative  date  at  Stillwater  to  engage 
in  the  A&M  Relays — and  Tuesday  the 
Netmen  have  invited  the  Tonkawa 
swingers  to  come  up  for  a  breif  get- 


With  clearing  skies  and  warmer 
weather  in  promise,  plans  are  how 
under  way  for  a  new  season  in  the 
track  and  field  sport.  After  two  weeks 
delay  due  to  weather  conditions  be- 
yond control  "Bunt"  Speer,  track 
coach,  is  looking  forward  to  his  first 
meets,  scheduled  to  get  moving  in  the 
next  few   weeks. 

Last  year's  squad  compiled  enviable 
records  in  their  events  that  will  be 
hard  to  match  this,  or  any  other,  sea- 
on.  Concentrating  their  strength  m 
particular  events,  the  cindermen  of  a 
year  ago  boasted  a  mile  relay  team 
which  only  finished  less  than  first, 
and  that  at  the  state  meet  where  it 
succeeded  in  winning  third  high  state 
honors. 

Besides  the  mile  team,  there  were 
crack  events  men  such  as  Vincent  Wil- 
son, topflight  pole-vaulter,  Bud  Chap- 
lin, also  a  vaulter  and  hurdles  man, 
Joe  Berry,  hefty  weight  man,  and 
many  others.  Of  these  reliable  point- 
getters,  only  one  will  be  able  to  com- 
pete this  eason.  Chaplin  graduated, 
and  though  both  Berry  and  Wilson 
are  eligible  for  action  as  returning 
sophmores,  a  recurring  back  injury 
has  made  it  doubtful  that  the  dimi- 
nutive  Wilson  could  enter. 

However  on  the  brighter  side  ther? 
v>  ill  be  a^iost  a  complete  return  from 
the  flashy  mile  team,  and  some  ab!e 
newcomers  to  not  only  fill  the  gap, 
Lut  challenge  the  remaining  runners. 
Those  back  are  Erwin  Work,  Doyle  Gil- 
strap,  and  Dave  Hearne.  All  three 
double  up  in  some  other  event  or 
additional    relay. 

The  new  stars  entering  the  picture 
are  Murray  Boyles,  speedy  quarter- 
miler  and  a  member  of  the  high  school 
state  champion  medley  relay,  Bill 
Morris,  dusky  dash  man,  Floyd  Hin- 
son,  promising  newcomer,  and  Day- 
mond   Mc   Vay,  fleet  hurdler. 

And  there  will  be  others  who  prove 
the  m  elves  worthy  later  on  in  the  sea- 
son as  the  starters  raises  his  pistol, 
and    slowly    commands — "Runners — to 

your  marks — get   set Bang!

Gay  Fiesta 
To  Be  Theme 
Of  Tigerama 

A  colorful  fiesta  theme  has  been 
revealed  as  the  decoration  motif  for 
this  year's  Tigerama  to  be  held 
Friday,  April  22,  in  the  auditorium- 
gymnasium.  A  large  crowd  of  guests, 
students  and  alumni  are  expected  to 
attend  this  affair  which  is  the  biggest 
social  event  of  the  college  year. 

Decoration  work  is  well  underway 
according  to  Marjorie  Ghramm, 
decoration  chairman,  with  a  host  of 
i  nusual  plans  in  the  making. 

Fhil  Parker,  general  chairman  of  the 
social  committee,  is  in  charge  of  the 
program.  Preparation  of  refreshments 
is  under  the  direction  of  Ruth  Ann 
Harvey,    food    chairman. 

Two  more  senior  classes,  D2xter 
and  Grenola,  have  accepted  the  junior 
college's  invitation  to  the  affair. 
Arkansas  City,  Newkirk,  and  Cam- 
bridge high  schools  have  also  accepted. 

The  student  council  and  social  com- 
mittee are  working  together  to  mak? 
this  Tigerama  a  success.  The  help  of 
the  student  body  will  be  needed  to 
decorate  the  auditorium-gymnasium 
the  Wednesday  and  Thursday  nights 
previous   to   the  dance.   . 

Herb    Jimmerson's    band    will    pro- 
vide the  dance  music.

the  activity  tickets.  This  action  was 
taken  at  a  meeting  held  March  23. 

Guy  Ecroyd  and  Mrs.  Sam  Berry, 
committee  representing  the  Civic 
Music  Association,  presented  this 
opportunity  for  more  culture  through 
music.  The  regular  price  of  a  student 
ticket  to  the  programs  is  $3.05.  If 
included  through  activity  tickets  the 
price  would  be  only  $1  per  semester. 

The  concerts  brought  here  f-r  pro- 
grams cost  approximatelv  $400  each. 
There  is  a  minimum  of  three  per- 
formances a  year. 

The  project  has  been  approved  by 
the  board   of  eduction.

Career  Day- 
Is  Planned 
For  Students 

A  "career  day"  will  soon  be  set 
aside  for  the  students  of  the  junior 
college  and  senior  high  school.  Under 
the  sponsorship  of  the  junior  college 
faculty,  with  J.  Kelsey  Day  as  chair- 
man, the  program  has  already  got 
under  way  with  the  completion  of 
career  survey  forms  which  have  been 
filled  out  by  all  students  of  the  col- 
lege and  high  school  seniors. 

Dr.  William  A.  Black  of  Pittsburg 
State  Teacher's  College,  nationally 
known  figure  in  the  field  of  junior  col- 
lege education,  will  be  here  during  the 
second  or  third  week  of  May.  He  will 
address  students  in  a  main  assembly 
after  which  there  will  be  a  chance  for 
students  to  attend  conferences  on  the 
vocations  in  which  they  are  interested. 

With  the  information  from  the  sur- 
vey classifications  in  mind,  a  sched- 
ule will  be  set  up.  Experienced  people 
in  these  fields  will  meet  with  the  stu- 
dents who  are  interested  in  these  vo- 
cations. Thy  will  talk  with  them  con- 
cerning the  necessary  training,  qual- 
ifications, problems,  conditions  in  the 
field,    and    the    possibility    of   success. 

Object  of  the  survey  is  to  help  stu- 
dents select  a  vocation  which  has  some 
possibility  of  yielding  happiness  and 
good  living.  It  will  also  guide  the  col- 
ledge  in  their  curriculum  making  by  se- 
lecting the  courses  so  as  to  meet  the 
needs  of  the  students  involved.

Assembly  Speaker 

Dr.  A.  B.  Martin,  president  of 
Ottawa  University,  spoke  to  junior 
college  students  at  an  assembly  held 
Fri.,  April  1.

basic  purpose  of  education  is  "to  know 
how  to  live  and  work  well  with  other 
people."

They  cried,  saying,  Crucify  him, 
crucify   him. 

—Luke  23:21 

Such  cruel  words 

For  more  than  19  centuries,  the 
people  of  the  world  have  lived,  have 
sinned,  have  prayed,  but  have  never 
been  able  to  pay  for  their  words 
"Crucify  Him." 

In  this  Easter  season,  as  never  be- 
fore,   everyone    must    remember    the 
Christ  who   carried   the   cross  for  us- 
and    remember    that    we,    too,   have   a 
■  cross  to  carry. 

In  today's  world,  everyone  has  a 
responsibilty  to  himself  and  others 
the  responsibility  of  living  happily, 
of  sharing,  of  sacrificing,  of  under- 
standing, of  believing,  of  receiving, 
£  nd  of  loving.  And  each  of  us  has 
a  debt  to  pay,  a  debt  to  the  Father  of 
Mankind. 

Let's  make  this  Easter  a  time  to 
begin  again,  a  time  to  learn  to  li"e 
with  others,  a  time  to  give  as  well 
as  receive.  Let's  try  to  square  oi11"- 
seleves  for  the  times  we  have  said, 
"He  is  guilty,  crucify  him." 

"I  said  to  a  man  who  stood  at  the 
gate  of  the  year:  'Give  me  a  light 
that  I  may  tread  safely  into  the 
unknown,'  and  he  replied,  'Go  out 
into  the  darkness  and  put  your  hand 
of  God.  That  shall  be  to  you  better 
than  a  light  and  safer  than  a  known 
way.'  So  I  went  forth,  and  finding  the 
hand  of  God,  trod  gladly  into  the 
night."

Informal  Social  Held 
For  Juco  Students 

An  informal  social  was  held  March 
30,  in  the  college  club  rooms  and 
adjoining  girls'  gym.  About  40  stu- 
dents and  faculty  members  were  pre- 
sent. 

Dancing,  card  playing  and  ping  pong 
provided  entertainment  for  those  pre- 
sent. Refreshments  were  served. 

Phil  Parker,  chairman  of  the  social 
committee,  was  in  charge. 


Only  seven  more  weeks  of  school 
remain.  At  the  end  of  this  period,  all 
the  sophomores  will  wind  up  their 
Arkansas  City  schooling.  Many  of  the 
scphs  have  been  together  for  fourteen 
years  of  school,  while  others  have  at- 
tended together  sinee  junior  or  senitr 
high  days.  It  makes  one  a  little  sad 
when  he  looks  back  over  the  years  and 
flunks  of  separating. 

For  the  sophomores,  the  high  school 
class  of  547,  it  marks  the  last  step  in  a 
long  journey.  The  grade  school  spell- 
ing bees  with  you  and  Jim  always 
managing  to  get  on  the  same  side, 
then  the  thrill  of  being  a  "big  boy"  in 
junior  high  school.  Then  the  high 
school  activities,  and  now  graduation 
from  junior  college.  The  guys  you  play- 
ed football  and  basketball  with,  the 
plays,  the  first  date,  and  the  first  for- 
mal are  all  memories  now.  From  now 
on  you'll  be  away  from  home,  meeting 
new  associates,  preparing  for  a  future 
that  is  now  almost  a  reality. 


During  the  recent  cold  snap,  scant- 
ily-clad members  of  the  track  squad 
looked  like  an  annual  convention  <~>f 
the   Polar  Bear   Club   at   Curry   Field. 

After  learning  that  Bill  Clay  had 
won  a  "love  game"  at  th°  courts  Joan 
Coulson  hastened  to  Wilson  Park  to 
have  a  look  at  his  opponent.  She  finally 
learned  the  meaning  cf  the  tennis  term. 


Coach  Bunt  Speer  participated  in  a 
benefit  basketball  gaame  last  week 
against  the  junior  high  Pups.  Prior 
to  the  opening  tipoff,  Bunt  exclaimed; 
"I  wish  they'd  start,  I'm  w^rn  out  tak- 
ing these  practice  shots."  The  faculty 
won  the  game,  incidently,  with  the  aid 
of  frequent  time-out  periods  in  the  lat- 
ter stages  of  play.

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Mr.  Ed.  one  Phil  Ayres,  is  a  133 
pound,  brown  haired,  blue  eyed,  "stick 
of  dynamite"  who  keeps  the  juco  halls 
reeling  in  jovial  merriment. 

At  the  age  of  18,  Phil's  hobbies  are 
composed  of  music  and  women.  Major- 
ing absolutely  nothing,  he  must  have 
taken  to  heart  what  Dr.  Martin  dis- 
cussed in  his  speech  last  week. 

Phil's  likes  and  dislikes  are  very 
interesting.  He  likes  women  and  cares 
very  little  for  competition. 

Phil  moved  to  Arkansas  City  soon 
after  his  eighth  grade  graduation  in 
Ed  Dorado  and  is  a  juco  freshman  at 
the  present  time. 

Phil  plans  to  support  Uncle  Sam's 
-ause  in  August,  at  which  time  he  will 
join  the  navy  for  three  years. 


Bill  Clay,  Tiger  sports  star,  is  slated 
to  finish  his  college  career  at  Colorado 
University  at  Boulder.  Bill  may  be  see- 
ing action  against  former  teammate 
Don  Upson,  now  at  Kansas  State,  in 
future  Fig  Seven  basketball  and  tennis 
encounters.  Ernie  Barrett,  Wellington 
cage  star  who  played  against  Clay  in 
the  1947  Class  AA  finals,  is  a  regular 
on   the   K-State   siuad,  also. 

Ly-e  Rutter  and  Joe  Berry  are  ser- 
iously considering  Washburn  U.  at 
Topeka.  If  they  attend  there,  they  may 
be  playing  against  Big  Bill  Mitchell, 
now  at  Pittsburg  Te-chers  college. 
What  a  coincidence.

Adam  was  the  only  person  who  did-

before?" 


One  college  sfnd'nt  cut  classes  Lst

Since  you  were  just  a  little  tot-

swering with  your  dream  of  some  ad- 
venturous life  that  was  really  too 
far  off  to  even  bother  you.  But  now, 
the  time  is  here.  Many  of  the  grads 
are  winding  up  their  education,  and 
will  begin  their  vocations  almost  imm- 
ediatly.  For  those  going  on  to  senior 
college,  the  ta~k  of  getting-  started  is

Three  Juco 
Records  Set 
By  Cagemen 

A  perual  of  junior  college  basket- 
ball records  from  the  first  Tigar  cagers 
of  1922  up  to  date  reveals  many  in- 
teresting facts  and  figures.  It  also 
shows  that  the  1948-49  juco  squad  set 
three  new  school  records  in  the  hoop 
sport,  although  other  records  believed 
to  have  been  broken  by  the  Speermen 
of  last  winter  still  remain  intact. 

The  75  points  scored  by  the  Tigers  in 
the  regional  meet  at  Dodge  City  in 
March  against  Missouri  Baptist  was 
not  the  highest  offensive  total  for  an 
ACJC  team,  as  the  75-point  mark  has 
been  exceeded  on  three  occasions.  In 
1929,  Arkansas  City  Junior  College  set 
the  all-time  record  for  most  points  in 
a  single  game  when  they  swamped 
Coffeyville  on  the  local  court  by  a  fan- 
tastic 93  to  23  score.  The  Tigers  of 
'26  and  '46  each  ran  up  81-points  in 
en    the   opposition. 

'  Bill  Clay's  28  points  in  the  Missouri 
Baptist  game  has  been  exceeded  by 
Wayne  Howaid's  29  tallies,  but  Vogel 

[ and  Layne  are  accredited  with  the  hot- 
test single  performance  by  a  Bengal 
hoop  star  with  34  points  in  a  contest. 

The  lowest  point  output  by  a  Bengal 
team  in  a  game  was  in  1930  when 
Hutchinson  trounced  the  Arks  here 
|y    a    32    to    7    margin.   However,   the 

!7:ger  drfsnsive  record  came  in  1926 
\  hen  a  powerful  Tiger  team  held 
Crffev  He  to  a  pair  of  free  tosses  to 

Kvin,  43-2! 

The  local  junior  college  won  the 
state  basketball  championship  in  1926 
and  again  in  1927.  The  '26  champs, 
c  mposed  of  such  stars  as  Weller, 
Hardy,  Upson,  Rlumley,  R.  McVichael, 
and  Houston,  allowed  their  opponents 

[  only  21  points  per  game  for  the  17- 
gaire    season. 

The  Tigers  copped  the  state  title  a- 
g-in  the  following  year  in  1927,  with 
R.  Smith  captaining  a  team  of  sophs 
back  from  the  previous  year's  winners, 
along  with  Barr,  Bend?r,  Wise,  G.  Mc- 
Michaels,  and  M.  White.  , 

Despite  the  fine  records  compiled  in 
the  past,  the  current  Tiger  cagers  will 
go  down  as  one  of  the  best  ever  to 
wear  Orange  and  Black.  Led  by  star 

[  center  Bill  Clay,  the  '48-49  Ark  jucos 

I  won  more  games  (18)  and  scored  mo'e 
points  (1201)  than  any  other  Tiger 
team.  Many  avid  supporters  of  the  old 
cage  era  when  the  Bengals  romped  to 
'  two  state  titles  will  point  to  the  fact 
that  the  current  squads  play  more 
games  than  the  teams  of  their  time 
which  accounts  for  the  higher  offens- 
ive total.  However,  on  a  ave'  age  of 
points-Per  games  played,  the  recent 
Speermen  averaged  over  46  tallies  a 
game  in  26  games  to  exceed  any  pre- 
vious   offensive   average. 


Two  Former  Jucos 
Manage  To  Keep 
'Heads  Above  Water' 

In  a  recent  issue  of  the  Daily  Kan- 
san,  University  of  Kansas  paper,  an 
interview  with  Gerald  V.  Fetterolf 
and  his  wife,  Neda  Jo,  both  who  are 
former  juco  students,  was  published 
in  an  article  on  how  veterans  man- 
age to  make  ends  meet  and  attend 
college,    too. 

Gerald,  now  the  city  editor  of  the 
Daily  Kansan,  has  things  a  little 
easier  nowadays,  according  to  the 
article.  While  attending  the  Arkansas 
City  College  he  worked  38  hours  a 
week  and  carried  20  semester  hours. 
Jerry  is  a  journalism  senior  at  Kansas 
University. 

Neda  Jo,  Jerry's  wife,  is  working 
at  Watkin's  hospital  in  Lawrence  as 
a  clerk  and  stenographer  at  $130  a 
month.  The  young  couple  together 
earn  $250  a  month.  Peggy  Jo,  their 
20-month-old  daughter  stays  with  her 
grandmother   during   the    day. 

Jerry  served  three  years  in  the  navy 
in  both  Pacific  and  Atlantic  theaters 
of  operation.  He  was  discharged  as 
a  torpedoman's  mate,  second  class, 
with  five  battle  stars  and  the  Philip- 
pine liberation  ribbon. 

Grades  of  this  brillant  exception 
for  the  past  three  years  have  aver- 
aged 2.4.  Being  interested  in  journa- 
lism he  plans  to  eo  into  newspaper 
work  after  his  graduation  in  June. 


Gemar  Will  Head 
Speech  Fraternity 

A  chapter  of  the  Phi  Rho  Pi, 
national  junior  college  forensics  fra- 
ternity, has  been  reinstated  in  the  local 
college  with  Bill  Germar  elected  to 
head  the  group.  Helen  Leach  will 
serve  as  secretary. 

The  Phi  Rho  Pi  fraternity  was 
organized  here  in  1934  for  the  foren- 
sics and  debate  enthusiasts  and  was  an 
active  fraternity  until  the  war  years 
when  the  forensics  program  was  cur- 
tailed clue  to  lack  of  interest. 

The  speech  program  has  been 
revived,  however,  with  students  partic- 
ipating in  several  meets  this  year.  Du^ 
to  the  strong  support  shown,  the  Phi 
Rho  Pi  chapter  will  be  open  to  all 
students  who  have  participated  in  two 
or    more   speech    contests. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  fraternity 
was  held  Tuesday,  with  another  meet- 
ing scheduled  for  next  week.  The 
organization  is  planning  to  hold  a 
"rush  week"  soon  to  present  the 
fraternity's  advantages  to  prospective 
members  for  next  year. 


Speech  Team 
Wins  Honors 
At  Juco  Meet 

Eight  members  of  the  junior  college 
forensic  team  chalked  up  an  outstand- 
ing record  at  the  state  junior  college 
meet  held  at  El  Dorado,  March  25. 

The  local  contestants  won  five  first 
places  and  five  seconds  in  the  ten 
events  entered. 

First  place  winners  were  John  Maier 
and  Royce  Makin  in  after-dinner  speak- 
ing, Heler  Leach  in  book  review,  and 
Robert  Adams  and  Bill  Himes  in 
poetry  reading, 
reading. 

Second  place  awards  were  won  by 
James  Austin  for  oratorical  declara- 
tion, by  James  Halcomb  for  book  re- 
view, and  Bill  Hime  and  Royce  Makin 
for   story   telling. 

The  debate  team  composed  of  Royce 
Makin  and  Bill  Gemar  also  won  a 
second   Place. 

Four  junior  colleges  were  repre- 
sented at  the  meet  with  approximately 
50  entrants  competing. 

A.  E.  Maag,  sponsor,  accompanied 
the  group.

Maet  Miss  Co-Ed 

If  you  happen  to  notice  a  pretty 
little  girl  with  sparkling  brown  eyes, 
brown  hair,  and  standing  5'6"  in 
height,  you'll  know  it  can  only  be 
Jacqueline    Crews. 

"Jackie"  is  a  freshman  this  year, 
majoring  in  pre-med.  Her  hope  is  to 
be  a  laboratory  technician  after  com- 
pleting her  educational  work  at  KU, 
following    junior    college. 

Since  your  reporter  is  not  con- 
cerned with  her  future,  but  rather  her 
near  present,  he  finds  that  "Jackie" 
likes  fried  chicken  and  mashed  pota- 
toes better  than  anything  in  the  world, 
(in  food  that  is!)  Her  favorite  song  is 
"Star  Dust",  and  sewing  is  a  hobby, 
she    says.

Meet  Mr.  Ed 

A  165  pound  student  with  gray  eyes, 
fuzzy  hair,  of  large  stature  and  tower- 
ing 5'10"  could  only  be  John  P. 
Schuchman,  known  to  everyone  as 
just    "Johnny". 

"Johnny",  a  veteran  who  served  18 
months  in  the  Army  medical  corps  is  a 
freshman  this  year  majoring  in  liberal 
arts.  His  favorite  sport,  as  anyone 
can  guess,  is  football. 

John's  favorite  food  is  fried  chicken 
while  listening  to  Glen  Miller's  "In  the 
Mood",  and  when  not  at  college  you'll 
find  him  at  his  favorite  hobby,  hunting 
and  fishing.

Weiner   Roast    Scheduled 

For   Speech    Class 

A  weiner  roast  was  scheduled  for 
Tuesday  evening  at  Lake  Chilocco  for 
members  of  the  speech  class  and  the 
current  play  cast. 

Plans  included  a  full  evening  of 
fun  and  frolic,  besides  a  menu  calling 
for  weiners,  buns,  potato  chips,  salad 
and   ice   cream  bars. 

Miss  Pauline  B.  Sleeth,  speech  in- 
structor, was  to  accompany  the  group. 


The  Basement  Buz: 


Here  it  is  only  five  weeks  and  one 
day  to  the  glorious  freedom  of  sum- 
mer. To  some  the  ending  of  school 
will  mean  getting  that  sad  feeling  of 
leaving  your  friends  and  go  to  another 
college  or  to  take  that  first  step  on 
the  ladder  of  life,  toward  a  future. 
While  to  others  it  will  mean  summer 
jobs  and  the  old  swimming  hole.  What- 
ever it  means  there  is  always  the  fact 
that  this  year  has  been  a  fruitul  one, 
with  football  games,  basketball  games, 
socials,  the  Tigerama  to  remember, 
and  last  but  not  least  the  annual  juco 
picnic  coming  soon. 

For  most  of  us,  life  is  what  we  make 
it;  but  for  the  pedestrian,  it's  if  he 
makes  it. 

Hospitality  has  been  defined  as  the 
art  of  makig  guests  feel  at  home  when 
you  really  wish  they  were. 

No  wonder  a  hen  gets  discouraged.  She 
never  finds  things  where  she  laid  them.

Remember  your  grade  school  days  ? 
Those  were  the  days  of  pigtails  and 
tadpoles  Standing  in  the  corner  or 
staying  in  after  school  were  the  pun- 
ishment for  the  misdemeanors  that 
you  thought  were  fun. 

"The  worm  has  turned,  now  the 
time  is  here  when  I  can  make  the 
children  stand  in  the  corner,"  says 
Donna  Mullet,  young  teacher  to-be. 

In  the  junior  college  there  is  a 
group  of  students  preparing  for  the 
teaching  field.  Five  students  are  now 
practice  teaching  in  the  grade  schools 
of  Arkansas  City.  They  are  Dorothy 
Wald,  second  grade  at  Roosevelt;  Pat 
Sheldon,  fourth  grade  at  Lincoln;  Don- 
na Mullet,  fifth  grade  at  Francis  Wil- 
lard;  and  Newell  Larson,  sixth  grade 
at  Francis  Willard. 

Methods  of  teaching,  a  3  hour  course 
was  taken  first  semester.  Miss  Myra 
Hardy,  principal  at  Roosevelt,  taught 
this  class.  ,  , 

This  semester  the  teachers-to-be 
are  taking  supervised  teaching.  They 
are  working  under  five  training  tea- 
chers.   The    students   must   put   in    an 


hour  of  teaching   each   day. 

A  teaching  certificate  requires  90 
hours  in  a  school  room,  with  60  hours 
of  this  in  actual  teaching-.  This  in- 
cludes grading  papers,  presenting  les- 
ons,  directing  tours,  and  playground 
supervision. 

A  60  hour  certificate  permits  the 
holder  to  teach  in  any  elementary 
school  in  Kansas  up  to  the  eighth 
grade. 

Donna  Mullett  has  a  position  this 
fall,  teaching  in  the  Tannehill  School 
northwest  of  Arkansas  City.  Pat  Shel- 
don will  also  teach  next  fall.  The 
others  are  planning  to  continue  their 
schooling.

Gregory  In 
Final  Play 
Of  Tourney 

Gerald  Gregory  was  slated  to  meet 
the  winner  of  a  semi-final  clash  be- 
tween "Whitey"  Falls  and  Jim  McKim- 
son  for  the  championship  of  the  annual 
Spring  juco  table  tennis  tournament 
being  held  in  the  club  room. 

Falls  advanced  to  the  semi-finals 
with  a  close  21-16,  18-21,  21-14  vic- 
tory over  Erwin  Work  while  McKim- 
son  advanced  to  the  round  of  four  after 
shading  Bill  Marrs  and  then  downing 
Marvin  Wilhite  in  the  quarter-finals, 
21-13,  13-21,  21-18.  Work  defeated 
Bill  Patterson  in  the  first  round  match, 
21-10,  21-11  to  move  up  against  Falls. 

Following  the  completion  of  the 
singles  bracket,  a  doubles  tourney  will 
be  held,  the  only  one  of  the  year. 


Diting  Data  Is 
TolJ  I-or  Proper 
Tigerama  Technique 

Tomorrow  night  is  the  big  night 
of  the  "Gay  Fiesta."  Th  annual  Tiger- 
ama! 

For  the  benefit  of  others  who  may 
be  a  little  jittery  about  attending  this 
gala  prom,  we  are  offering  the  fallow- 
ing rules  of  conduct  for  the  affair. 

First,  try  to  dress  up  for  the  occas- 
ion. Those  je;ins  may  go  great  guns 
a-  the  Bob  Wills  hoe-down  at  New- 
kirk,  but  your  escort  would  probably 
preter   something   dressier. 

It  also  makes  the  evening  much 
more  chummy  for  you  and  your  escort 
if  you  can  get  together  for  a  couple 
of  dances  during  the  course  of  the 
evening.  Don't  bring  a  girl  to  the 
dance,  and  upon  seeing  friend  Johnnie 
go  skipping  off  with  the  boys  to  ih^ 
locker  room  to  try  and  hunt  a  basket- 
ball. Basketball  season  is  over,  and 
any  pokes  at  the  basket  during  the 
intermission  would  be  entirely  out  of 
place. 

One  of  the  main  causes  for  worry 
among  the  male  sex  is  the  purchae  of 
corsages.  Please  buy  them,  don't  pick 
them  yourself.  Artificial  flowers  on 
the  front  of  your  date's  formal  may 
result  in  a  few  odd  looks  tossed  your 
way  and  a  few  handouts  from  your 
buddies.  Learn  prior  to  the  night  of 
the  dance  what  color  formal  your  date 
is  wearing  and  buy  flowers  to  match. 
If  a  girl  is  donning  red  for  the  evening 
try  to  avoid  scarlet  floral  bouquets. 
"Well,  that  should  about  set  you  for 
the  big  occasion.  The  main  thing  is 
lor  everyone  to  join  in  and  have  a 
good  time.

f  Teachers  Divided 
On  Anti-Communist  Measure 


Kansas  has  recently  passed  an  anti- 
communist  law.  All  public  employees, 
those  connected  with  public  schools, 
universities,  and  colleges,  police  offi- 
cers, county  and  city  officials,  and 
state  employees  must  sign  an  affi- 
davit stating  that  they  are  not,  nor 
ever  have  been,  members  of  the  com- 
munist party.  Supposedly  the  law  is 
to  be  a  loyalty  check  to  determine 
the  number  of  communists  teaching 
or  influencing  Kansas  students,  or 
serving  the  public  in  other  official 
capacities. 

A  number  of  junior  college  instruct- 
ors were  interviewed  to  find  out  what 
the  "victims"  of  this  law  think  about 
the  anti -communist  measure. 

"I'm  willing  to  sign  it,"  stated  Dean 
K.  R.  Galle.  "The  purpose  of  the  law 
is  excellent,  but  I  am  doubtful  as  to 
the  good  it  will  achieve,  except  for 
the  hold  it  will  have  on  the  individual 
if  he  is  truthful. 

"I  think  it  is  a  rather  silly  law," 
remarked  P.M.  Johnson,  "but  I'll  be 
glad  to  sign  it.  The  affidavit  would 
provide  some  hold  on  the  person  who 
has  declared  himself  loyal  in  that 
if  he  is  discovered  to  be  a  communist 
party  member,  grounds  for  an  indict- 
ment have  already  been  laid." 

"As  far  as  I'm  concerned,  I'm  will- 
ing,"  replied   Miss   Virginia  Weisger- 


ber.  "It's  a  teacher's  job  to  teach 
her  students  in  the  right  way,  and 
I  think  that  democracy  is  the  right 
way." 

"I  think  its  all  right,  though  semi- 
dictatorial,"  reported  A.  L.   Curry. 

"I  wouldn't  mind  signing  the  affi- 
davit. I  think  its  a  good  idea,"  re- 
ported   W.    A.    Sneller. 

"It  seems  rather  useless  to  me, 
especially  in  Kansas,"  said  J.  K.  Day. 
"I  don't  object  to  signing  it,  but  who 
has  any  choice  if  he  wishes  to  con- 
tinue  teaching?" 

"I'm  in  favor  of  it,"  replied  Miss 
Pauline  Sleeth.  "This  is  a  free  conutry, 
that's  true,  but  why  should  it  be  so 
like  free  as  to  permit  those  to  remain 
who  would  like  to  take  away  our  free- 
dom?" 

"In"  view  of  the  admittedly  destruc- 
tive aims  of  communism,.  I  believe 
loyal  teachers  would  be  willing  to  sign 
such  a  document,"  said  Miss  Anne 
Hawley,  "but  I  doubt  that  it  will  be 
effective  enough  to  be  worthwhile,  as 
disloyal  persons  would  probably  not 
hesitate  to  sign  also." 

Barney  Getto  was  very  much  in 
favor  of  the  affidavit: 

"I  think  its  a  very  good  thing.  Any- 
thing that  will  help  to  protect  our 
government  it  all  right  with  me.  I'll 
be  glad  to  sign  it."

Five  Records 
Set  By  Arks 
In  Big  Meet 

The  host  Hutchinson  Blue  Dragons 
won  their  own  meet  as  they  planned, 
last  Friday,  but  the  juco  track  squad 
stole  the  show  by  smashing-  five  of 
eight  records  that  were  broken  in  the 
day  and  night  relays. 

Besides  setting  live  new  marks,  the 
Tiger  thinclads  gathered  up  49  points, 
which  was  good  enough  for  second 
place    and    the   runner-up    trophy. 

In  the  point  department  Hutcninson 
had  75,  and  first  place,  Garden  City 
was  third  with  27,  while  St.  Johns  of 
Winfield  and  Pratt  JC  followed  with 
16  and    12   points,  repectively. 

Erwin  Work,  dusky  star  of  the  Ben- 
gals, captured  two  firsts  in  the  100 
and  440  yard  dashes,  and  finished  the 
day  by  anchoring  the  winning  mile 
relay  team.  Work  set  one  of  the  new 
records  in  breaking  the  century  mark 
with  a  time  of  10.4.  The  previous 
record  was  10.5,  earlier  held  by  Koontz 
of    Hutchinson. 

Of  the  four  relays  run  in  the  night 
the  Arks  won  two  and  were  runners-up 
in  the  other  two.  In  winning  both  the 
mile  and  the  medley,  Coach  Bunt 
Speer's  runners  chalked  up  two  more 
records.  The  medley  relav  team  of 
Morris,  Boyles,  Gilstrap,  and  Hinson 
clicked  off  the  distace  in  3:54.3  to 
break  El  Dorado's  old  mark.  Hinson 
staged  a  final  lap  surge  to  win  going 
away. 

The  mile  team  repeated  their  win 
of  lasted  year  and  in  doing  so,  snapped 
their  own  mark  by  nearly  two  seconds 
in  the  excellent  time  of  3:35.2.  The 
three  repeateds  of  last  year,  Gilstrap, 
Work,  and  Hearne,  plus  newcomer 
Hinson,  were  awarded  the  win  after 
Hutchinson  was  disqualified  for  crowd- 
ing on  the  turn.  The  finish  of  the  race 
was  a  dead  heat. 

Joe  Berry,  juco  weight  man,  broke 
his  own  record  with  a  mighty  heave 
in  his  shot  put  of  42'  dV*"  eclipsing 
the  old  mark  by  a  foot  and  a  half. 
Vincent  Wilson,  tied  for  first  with 
Hunter  of  Pratt  in  the  pole  vault,  also 
bettered  his  mark  of  last  year  by 
vaulting  11'  5"  and  a  new  meet  record. 
Last  year's  height  was  also  held  by 
Bud  Chaplin  of  Ark  City. 

Other  Tiger  scorers  were:  Daymond 
Me  Vay,  third  in  the  high  jump; 
fourth  in  the  javelin,  and  fourth  in  the 
high  hurdles;  Doyle  Gilstrap,  second 
in  the  low  hurdles;  Don  Bohannon, 
third  in  the  high  and  low  hurdles; 
Marvin  Wilhite,  second  in  the  mile 
run;  880  relay,  second,  (Gilstrap, 
Morris,  Boyles,  E.  Morris;)  440  relay, 
second,  (Morris,  Gilstrap,  Boyles,  B. 
Morris.)

Tennis  Good, 
Track  Close, 
Golfers  Lose 


Coach  Ray  Judd's  rampaging  net- 
men  scored  another  in  their  series  of 
lop-sided  victories,  April  12th,  when 
they  took  Coffeyville's  squad  into 
camp  by  virtue  of  a  6-1  count.  On 
the  same  day  the  track  team  was 
nosed  out  by  the  Ravens,  62-60,  and 
the  Tigers  golfers  tasted  defeat  on 
the  foreign  links. 

The  Juddmen  made  it  three  in  a 
row  this  year,  and  extended  their 
undefeated  dual  record,  which  goes 
back  to  the  same  place  in  1947,  two 
years  ago.  The  only  loss  suffered  by 
the  Arks  was  in  the  number  two 
single  match,  with  Bill  Bailey  drop- 
ping two  tough  sets. 

Bill  Clay  had  his  perfsct  love-set 
record  marred,  but  had  no  trouble  in 
disposing    of    his    opponent,    6-0.    6-2. 

At  Ise  Stadium  the  ci'id'rmen  were 
nosed  out  by  the  Ravens  in  a  close 
meet  which  saw  the  lead  see-saw  back 
and  forth  throughout  the  afternoon 
The  running-  events  were  all  Ark  City, 
however,  with  the  exception  of  the  100 
and  200  yeard  dashes.  Times  were  not 
exceptional   on  the  rain-soaked  track. 

M°rvin  Wi!hife's  mile  victory  was 
t!-  highlight  ef  the  affQrn>on  as  the 
blond  speedster  loped  for  three  laps 
then  turned  on  the  steam  to  win  by 
scant  inches  at  the  finish  line.  The 
mile  relay  also  provided  a  thrill  when 
Erwin  Work,  anchor  man,  blazed  down 
the  back-stretch  to  come  from  behind 
and  post  the  winning  time  of  3:37 
flat.

The  Ark  golfers  had  little  luck  in 
their  bid  for  a  victory  and  were  over- 
powered by  the  potent  host  team, 
winning  but  one  match  of  the  four 
played.  Medalist  for  the  Black  and 
Orange  was  Norman  Smyer,  who 
garnered  the  lone  victory.

Arriving  in  Arkansas  City  March 
8,  1929.  at  a  very  young  age  via  the 
stork,  Edna  Robson,  sophomore,  has 
been  here  ever  since.  Her  home, 
parents,  nationality  and  other  vital 
statistic.---  have  remained  much  the 
same,  with  the  exception  of  her  size 
which  has  increased  proportionately  to 
5'  7"  and  120  pounds.. 

In  an  effort  to  improve  their  child 
prodigy,  her  parents  trundled  her 
off  at  the  age  of  six  to  the  Sacred 
Heart  school  where  she  spent  her 
first  eight  years  of  hardships.  After 
graduation  (  ? )  she  plans  to  attend 
Marquette  University  at  Milwaukee, 
Wis.,  where  she  will  major  in  jour- 
nalism. 

Edna  has  worked  at  The  Traveler 
for  the  past  three  years  which  may 
account  for  her  mania  for  tracking 
down  news.  She  enjoys  slumber 
parties,  square  dances,  gum  chewing 
and  any  form  of  eating. 


Meet  Mr.  Ed 

Robert  Lyle  Borchers  arrived  on  the 
scene,  March  28.  1929.  much  to  the 
surprise  of  his  parents,  for  another 
son,  Richard,  had  arrived  only  15 
minutes  earlier. 

After  an  intimate  talk  with  this 
surprise  development,  this  reporter 
learned  that  he  has  blond,  wavy  hair 
and  light  blue  eyes  weights  185  pounds 
and   stands  6'   3"  high. 

Bob  is  a  sophomore  and  has  always 
attended  in  Arkansas  City  schools.  He 
likes  apple  pie  and  the  color,  blue. 

He  is  considering  the  Navy  as  a 
future  occupation.  Whatever  he  does, 
he  plans  to  be  a  big  success.  At  pre- 
sent, however,  he  is  complacent  with 
chasing  women  and  shooting  snooker.

Dinner  and 
Frogram  Held 

The  junior  college  speech  and  lan- 
guage clubs  enjoyed  the  annual  Inter- 
national Banquet  held  in  the  Cadet 
Rcom  of  the  Osage  Hotel,  April  26. 
Helen  Owens  and  Robert  Adams  were 
acting  hostess  and  host,  respectively. 

After  the  blessing,  expressed  by 
Katherine  Stover  in  German,  Jacque- 
line and  Carole  Crews  entertained  the 
group  with  an  orginal  French  dialogue. 
"Ma  Normandie,"  a  duet  by  Priscilla 
Laughlin  And  Mary  Lawn  on,  was 
enjoyed  following  the  meal. 

Two  one-act  plays  were  presented  in 
English  and  Spanish,  respectively,  us- 
ing like  plots.  Those  participating  in 
the  English  cast  were  Edna  Robson, 
Royce  Makin,  Helen  Owens  and  Artie 
Metclf,  while  the  Spanish  speaking 
cast  included  Mary  Pudden.  Artie  Met- 
caif,  Jean  Flannery  and  Ted  Templar. 

Janell  Estep  and  Don  Glasgow  pre- 
sented "Der  Rosenkranz"  and  Amor 
especially  and  were  accepted  gra- 
ciously . 

Another  one-act  play  "How  Soon 
'Tis  Done"  was  presented  with  Mar- 
garet Hollowell,  Robert  Adams,  and 
Kenneth   Falls  rounding  out  the  cast. 

Eddie  Hickey  put  the  finishing 
touches  on  the  evening  of  fun  with 
his  reading  "A  Frenchman  on  Mac-

The  menu  consisted  of  roast  veal,

Junior  Ain't  As 
Dumb  As  You  May 
Think  Hals! 

For  years  now..' the  controversy 
over  the  advantages'  and  disadvan- 
tages of  comic  books  has  been  waged 
in  various  civic  clubs,  organizations, 
and  in  other  groups.  Herein  we  are 
going  to  present  our  side  of  the  quest- 
ion. 

We  believe  that  the  comic  book 
recieves  too  much  unjustified  blame. 
Everytime  Junior  splits  open  his 
little  friend's  head  with  a  pickaxe  the 
leaders  of  the  community  immediately 
conclude  that  the  youngster  was  under

Large  Crowd 
Attends 
Gay  Fiesta" 

Three  hundred  alumni,  guest  seniors, 
former  students  and  faculty  members 
April  22,  in  the  auditorium  gym- 
attended  the  annual  Tigerama  held 
nasium. 

The  theme,  "Gay  Fiesta",  was  car- 
ried out  in  all  decorations,  including 
false  ceiling,  lanterns,  bubbling  foun- 
tain, overhanging  balconies,  and  pic- 
tural  scenes  hanging  on  the  wall. 

The  program  continued  the  Spanish 
theme  with  songs  and  dances. 

The  guest  seniors  were  from  Ar- 
kansas City,  Douglas,  Grenola,  Cam- 
bridge, Cedar  Vale,  Dexter,  Burden, 
and  Newkirk. 


Married  Veterans  Experience 
Family  Financial  Problems 


Children  constitute  a  problem 
especially  to  the  married  veteran  as 
he  attends  school.  His  problems  is  how 
to  be  student,  husband,  father,  and 
backbone  of  the  family  while  living  on 
the  money  afforded  to  him  by  the 
government. 

The  G.  I.  allotment  to  a  single 
veteran  is  $75  while  a  married  veteran 
gets  $105,  Lnd  if  he  is  fortunate  to 
have  a  little  one  he  receives  the  addi- 
tional sum  of  $15. 

Several  junior  college  veterans  were 
interviewed  as  to  the  economic  and 
studying  problems  of  students  with 
children. 

Robert  Burton,  post  grad.,  has  two 
children,  Vicki  Leigh,  age  three  and 
cne-half  years,  and  Robert  Norman, 
age  18  months.  Bob  solves  his  study 
problem  by  getting  his  studies  at 
school.    In    relation    to    the    financial 

the  kiddies  next  door  try  to  fly  off 
the  garage  a  la  Superman  to  haul 
down    the    mysterious    space    ship. 

Comic  books  have  also  been  known 
to  prove  useful.  A  New  York  burg- 
lar wns  trapped  by  a  12-year  old 
bloodhcund  who  had  learned  the  art 
of  crime  stopping  from  Dick  Tracy. 
With  his  Dick  Tracy  Dandy  Detec- 
tive Device,  he  brought  the  burglar  to 
justice. 

Most  children  realize  that  the  ficti- 
tious stories  they  read  in  the  funnies 
sre  not  really  possible.  The  best 
example  of  the  truly  outlandish  hap- 
penings of  comic  characters  is  in 
Lil'  Abner  where  the  handsome  hero, 
Lil'  Abner,  refuses  to  warm  towards 
the  beautiful  and  appealing  Daisy 
Mae.  Even  a  kid  can't  fall  foi   that! 


worries  he  says  that  by  being  con- 
servative the  money  would  cover  half 
the  expense  of  living,  outside  help  is 
needed.  The  children  are  left  with 
grandfather  on  several  occasions  thus 
eliminating  the  need  for  a  hired  baby 
sitter.  Bob  advises  the  young  man  with 
ideas  to  stay  single  until  his  edu- 
cation is  completed. 

Charles  Geoffrey,  eight-month-old 
son  of  Robert  Adams,  sophomore,  is 
causing  some  difficulty  in  the  way  of 
screaming  while  his  father  is  getting 
a  last  minute  assignment.  The  Adams' 
find  that  with  the  G.  I.  allotment  plus 
outside  part  time  work,  they  can 
make  ends  meet.  When  asked  if  he 
had  any  advise  or  young'  couples, 
Robert  said,  "Heck  no,  we  are  still 
trying  to  get  our  own  future  straigh- 
tened out." 

Harold  Keller,  sophomore,  with  one 
daughter,  Linda  Kay,  five  years,  says 
his  allotment  check  will  covet'  expenses 
with  help   such  as  savings. 

Although  not  a  father,  and  just 
recently  a  husband,  Vincent  Wilson  is 
finding  ways  to  conserve  on  the  spen- 
ding of  much  needed  money.  One  way 
is  to  work  on  a  Saturday  instead  of 
going  to  the  juco  track  meets.  This 
way  he  can  add  seven  dollars  to  the 
family  budget.  Also  spending  evenings 
at  home  studying  saves  the  couple 
money  and  solves  the  study  problem. 

With  savings,  outside  part  time 
work  and  with  the  wife  working,  the 
married  veterans  are  meeting  the 
crisis  of  the  present  and  at  the  same 
time  preparing  for  the  future  by  get- 
ting an  education.  Through  all  of 
this  they  even  find  time  to  raise  a 
family   .

Ark  Trackmen  Swamp  Relays, 
Go  To  State  Meet  Saturday 


The  juco  trackmen  scored  a  smash- 
ing- victory  at  the  annual  Coffeyville 
Relays,  Friday,  breaking  the  tape  in 
record  time  in  both  the  mile  and  med- 
ley   events. 

The  Thinclads,  coached  by  "Bunt" 
Speer,  posted  the  new  times  in  both 
events  and  lacked  but.l  second  of  tying 
a  third  in  the  440-yd  relay.  The  Tigers 
took  home  the  mythical  team  champ- 
ionship of  the  affair,  three  challange 
cr.ps,  each  for  the  second  time,  and  16 
individual  medals,  for  their  most  swe- 
eping victory  of  the  track  season. 

Erwin  Work,  Floyd  Hinson,  and 
Doyle  Gilstrap  proved  the  main  cogs 
of  the  Bengal  squad  with  all  three 
running  in  each  of  the  record  breakers. 
Work  and  Gilstrap  also  sparked  the 
winning  440  team. 

Hinson  clocked  the  best  half  of  his 
freshman  season  in  track,  turning  on 
the  steam  in  the  backstrech  of  the 
final  lap  to  win  going  away  with  an 
unofficial  time  of  2:02  minutes  for  the 
two  laps  at  Ise  Field. 

After  their  best  showing  of  the  sea- 
son the  Arks  were  given  a  slightly 
better  outlook  as  to  chances  for  honors 
in  the  state  meet  due  to  take  place 
this  Saturday  at  El  Dorado. 

Hutchinson,  not  present  at  the 
Raven  invitational,  is  expected  to 
again  outclass  the  field  of  entrys.  The 
Dragon  team  is  not  expected  to  make 
a  runaway  of  the  meet,  however,  as 
they  did  last  season.  Competition  has 
proved  keener  among  a  wider  variety 
of  schools  this  year,  and  many  of  the 
collegiate  schools  have  talent  enough 
to  spread  the  points  out  over  a  scat- 
tered  field. 

Ark  City,  Coffeyville,  Independence, 
and  Fort  Scott  have  all  shown  strength 
in  the  mile  relay  events,  half  mile,  and 
the  dashes.  At  least  three  of  these 
schools  has  added  power  in  one  of  the 
field  events.

To  most  people,  tennis  is  just  a 
matter  of  getting  the  little  white 
ball  back  more  times  than  your  op- 
ponent does.  That's  right,  that's  all 
it  is.  One  little  detail,  however,  the 
ball  must  alight  somewhere  within 
the  boundary  lines,  as  a  volley  into 
the  trees  only  results  in  a  lost  point 
and    a    DDT-drenched    sphere.

STATE  MEETS— and  their  promise 
of  reward  and  glory,  always  bring 
out  the  stiffest  competition  of  the 
year.  Teams  all  seem  to  have  an  added 
zing  when  the  magic  word  "state"  is 
mentioned — our  own  squad  is  not  an 
exception.  Trials  and  challenges  have 
been  the  rule  rather  than  the  excep- 
tion, this  week,  and  feverish  clocking 
of  races  takes  place  each  and  every 
night  of  practice — why  coaches  get 
gray. 

ERWIN  WORK— proved  again  his 
worth  at  Ise  Field,  by  turning  in  two 
of  his  fastest  quarter  times  within  a 
half-hour  of  each  other.  Work  did 
his  first  round  in  51.8,  then  25  min- 
utes later  made  the  turn  again — time 
51.4.  The  lean  and  dusky  flash  cer- 
tainly lives  up  to  his  name. 
WELLINGTON—  has  lost  another 
coach.  John  Floyd,  nationally  known 
former  A&M  basketball  star,  and 
Crusader  mentor  in  that  and  other 
minor  sports,  handed  in  his  lesigna- 
tion  Tuesday.  The  Sumner  county  seat 
lost  its  football  head  just  a  week  ago, 
when  he  accepted  an  offer  for  an  iden- 
tical position  with  Southwestern  Coll- 
ege at  Winfield.  Floyd  said  he  had  no 
"immediate  plans". 

TUESDAY— was  a   great  clay   for  all 

the  baseball  Robinsons.  Jackie,  Eddie, 
and  Aaron  each  got  a  homer  apiece. 
All  in  different  games.

Sprint  Team  Ccps 
Second  at  Relays 

Coach  Bunt  Speer's  sprint-medley 
relay  team  delivered  up  to  expecta- 
tions in  the  K  U  Relays,  April  23rd, 
by  finishing  a  close  second  in  a  fast 
field  of  nine  junior  colleges  hailing 
from   three   states. 

Hutchinson  won  the  event,  and 
Coffeyville  was  third,  while  Ft.  Scott 
finished    fourth. 

The  members  of  the  team;  Erwin 
Work,  Doyle  Gilstrap,  Bill  Morris, 
and  Floyd  Hinson  all  received  large 
silver  medals  for  their  stellar  efforts. 


Hutch  Takes 
Victory  From 
Ark  Netted 


s 


Ark  City  dropped  its  first  match  in 
junior  college  tennis  play  this  year, 
when  the  Tiger  netmen  were  handed  a 
stunning  defeat,  Monday,  on  the 
Hutchinson  courts,  4-2. 

Eill  Clay,  undefeated  throughout  the 
year,  lost  his  first  set  and  match  the 
same  day  at  the  hands  of  Leroy  Esau, 
Dragon  net  and  basketball  star.  Clay 
found  the  chopping  tactics  of  the 
former  Buhler  high  school  player  too 
much  to  handle  on  the  windy  playing 
area.  Three  sets  were  needed  to  settle 
the  bitterly  fought  match,  with  scores 
of  10-8,  3-6,  and  8-6  going  in  favor 
of  Esau. 

The  Bengals  had  previously  tied  the 
Dragon  crew  in  a  match  played  on  the 
Wilson  Park  courts,  3-3.  The  loss  was 
the  first  in  nearly  two  years  of  play 
for  the  Ray  Judd  coached  team,  which 
was  undefeated  last  year.  The  swing- 
ers have  one  more  dual  meet  with 
El  Dorado  before  journeying  to  the 
state  meet. 

Having  won  either  the  singles  or 
doubles  in  state  competition  for  the 
last  three  years,  and  both  in  '46,  the 
local  aggregation  is  accorded  as  good 
a  chance  this  year,  although  Hutch 
is  expected  to  hold  the  favored  role. 

Bill  Bailey  and  Bob  Fry  were  beaten 
by  almost  identical  scores  in  the 
number  two  and  four  singles  tilts; 
Mercer  triumphing  over  Bailey  6-2, 
4-6,  6-8. 

The  only  brightening  aspect  of  the 
afternoon  came  for  the  Arks  in  the 
number  one  double  match.  Giay  and 
Bailey  teamed  together  to  defeat  the 
Hutch  top  combinaion  of  Mercer  and 
Esau,  after  dropping  the  first  set, 
2-6,  6-3,  7-5.  The  ace  Tiger  combo 
hasn't  yet  been  beaten  this  year.  In 
the  other  doubles  Sneller  and  Fry 
extended  Halman  and  Click  to  the  fuil 
count -in  each  of  the  two  sets  but  lost, 
7-5,  and  Click  edging  Fry  6-2,  8-6. 

The  only  singles  victory  taken  by 
the  Arks  was  in  the  number  three  en- 
counter, when  Bob  Sneller  came  from 
behind  in  the  third  and  deciding  set 
to  win  after  being  down  1-5.  Sneller 
won  five  games  in  a  row,  dropped  one, 
then  picked  off  the  final  three,  deter- 
mined not  to  be  denied. 


During  the  last  few  weeks  of  school 
everyone  is  in  a  hurry.  Time  seems 
to  fly  as  students  try  to  find  time 
for  all  the  spring  activities  such  as 
term  papers  and  final  examinations, 
to  name  a  couple  of  time-taking 
chores.  Due  to  these  trying  times, 
we  hereby  advise  you  not  to  proceed 
further  and  waste  any  more  than 
necessary  of  these  precious  hours.

Clay  walker  off  with  the  singles  crown 
and  Bill  Bailey  and  Bob  Sneller  com- 
bined  to  win  the  doubles  crown. 

The  Tigers  have  won  a  conference 
tennis  championship  for  four  succ- 
essive years,  both  the  singles  and 
doubles  in  1946  and  again  this  year. 
The  Juddmen  were  state  doubles 
champs  in  1947  and  1948,  giving  the 
local  college  a  tennis  record  unequaled 
in  this  section  of  the  country. 

The  Bengals  have  lost  only  one  dual 
match  in  the  past  two  seasons,  and 
dropped  only  one  individual  doubles 
match  throughout  the  regular  season 
and  tournament  this  spring.

4-6,  6-8. 

The  only  brightening  aspect  of  the 
afternoon  came  for  the  Arks  in  the 
number  one  double  match,  day  and 
Bailey  teamed  together  to  defeat  the 
Hutch  top  combinaion  of  Mercer  and 
Esau,  after  dropping  the  first  set, 
2-6,  6-3,  7-5.  The  ace  Tiger  combo 
hasn't  yet  been  beaten  this  year.  In 
the  other  doubles  Sneller  and  Fry 
extended  Halman  and  Click  to  the  fuil 
count  in  each  of  the  two  sets  but  lost, 
7-5,  and  Click  edging  Fry  6-2,  8-6. 

The  only  singles  victory  taken  by 
the  Arks  was  in  the  number  three  en- 
counter, when  Bob  Sneller  came  from 
behind  in  the  third  and  deciding  set 
to  win  after  being  down  1-5.  Sneller 
won  five  games  in  a  row.  dropped  one, 
then  picked  off  the  final  three,  deter- 
mined not  to  be  denied. 


During  the  last  few  weeks  of  school 
everyone  is  in  a  hurry.  Time  seems 
to  fly  as  students  try  to  find  time 
for  all  the  spring  activities  such  as 
term  papers  and  final  examinations, 
to  name  a  couple  of  time-taking 
chores.  Due  to  these  trying  times, 
we  hereby  advise  you  not  to  proceed 
further  and  waste  any  more  than 
necessary  of  these  precious  hours.

ARKANSAS    CITY.    KANSAS,    THURSDAY,    MAY    19,    1949 


Large     Crowd    Enjoys  "Gay  Fiestc 


Seniors  from  oifrht  surrounding 
towns,  former  students,  alumni  and 
other  guests  were  entertained  at  a 
Gay  Fiesta",  the  18th  annual  Tiger- 
ama,  given  by  junior  college  students 
and    faculty    members. 

Top  picture  shows  a  portion  of  the 
large  crowd  that  attended  enjoying 
■  hemselves  while  the  party  is  in  fu 
swing. 

Below  is  a  shot  of  the  junior  coll- 
ege tennis  team,  coached  by  Ray  Judd, 
"hich  won  the  conference  charnp;on- 
hip  May  10  at  El  Dorado  when  Bill 
Clay  walker  off  with  the  singles  crown 
and  Bill  Bailey  and  Bob  Sneller  com- 
bined to  win  the  doubles  crown. 

The  Tigers  have  won  a  conference 
tennis  championship  for  four  succ- 
essive years,  both  the  singles  and 
doubles  in  1946  and  again  this  year. 
The  Juddmen  were  state  doubles 
champs  in  1947  and  1948,  giving  the 
local  college  a  tennis  record  unequaled 
in  this  section  of  the  country. 

The  Bengals  have  lost  only  one  dual 
match  in  the  past  two  seasons,  and 
dropped  only  one  individual  doubles 
match  throughout  the  regular  seaL__ 
and  tournament  this  spring.

VOLUME  VI 


ARKANSAS   CITY,   KANSAS,  THURSDAY,     OCTOBER  6,  1949 


NUMBER   1 


Increase  in 
Enrollment; 
Vets  Fewer 


College  enrollment  is  220,  as  com- 
pared to  205  at  this  time  last  year. 
Dean  K.  R.  Galle  disclosed  Monday. 
The  number  of  G.  I.  's  enrolled  has 
decreased  from  a  one-time  high  of 
100  to  34,  but  this  has.  been  offset 
by  the  number  of  transfers  and  the 
increase  of  out-of-town  students, 
which   number  35. 

Jucos  may  be  surprised  to  discover 
that  attending  college  here  are  stu- 
dents from  14  different  towns,  in- 
cluding Winfield,  Milton,  Oxford, 
Atlanta,  Dexter,  Caldwell,  South 
Haven,  Gueda  Springs,  Cedar  Vale, 
Newkirk,  Ponca  City,  dishing,  and 
Grenola. 

Course  most  pursued  by  students 
is  the  general  or  terminal,  though 
many  terminal  students  later  decide 
to  continue  their  education. 

Juco  lads  will  sadly  note  the  "de- 
plorable fact  that  there  are  2V2  boys 
to  every  girl,  that  out  of  75  sophs, 
th  re  are  only  27  gills,  that  out  of  140 
f :  esrhmi  n  there  are  only  44  girls.  This 
is  not  only  bid  for  the  boys,  but  what 
girl  wants   Ms   of  a  boy? 

Dean  Calle  predicts  a  steady  in- 
crea  e  in  enrollment  due  to  the  grad- 
ual decrease  in  jobs  available,  which 
will  raise  the  average  marriage  age, 
the  steady  improvement  of  ACJC 
facilities,  and  the  fuller  realization 
of  its  major  advantages  of  much  lower 
coft  to  the  student,  greater  individual 
attention,  and  an  excellant  faculty. 

"The  o->  er-increasijig  demand  for 
college  education  for  all  types  of  jobs 
will  have  a  tendency  to  increase  en- 
rollment." Dean  Galle  said.  He  point- 
ed out  that  45  percent  of  last  year's 
sophomore  class  went  on  to  a  4-year 
coileo-e. 

ACJC  which  was  organized  in  1922, 
had  its  highest  enrollment  immed- 
iately  preceding   the    war,   over   320. 


ac]c 

Betty  Webb  and  Jane  De  Vore, 
freshmen,  and  Sue  Stacy^  senior  in 
Arkansas  City  high  school.,  made  up 
the  Cowley  c  ounty  judging  team 
which  placed  third  in  the  state  4-H 
meeting  at  Topeka  on  Sept.  13.  They 
were  competing  against  thirty  teams. 


New  instructor      Helen  Leach 

Elected  Head 
Of  Council 

Helen  Leach  is  the  now  president 
of  the  student  council.  She  was  nom- 
inated by  both  the  sophomore  and 
freshman  classes.  The  first  freshman 
nominee,  Bill  Bartholomew,  withdrew 
his  name,  and  the  freshman  class 
substituted  his  runner-up,  Helen 
Leach.  This  substitution  made  the 
usual   run-off   election    unnecessary. 

Helen  Leach,  who  was  graduated 
from  the  local  high  school,  seems  to 
be  an  able  person  for  the  job  of  stu- 
dent council  president.  She  has  parti- 
cipated in  the  activities  of  several 
juco  organizations  such  as  the  Christ- 
ian Association  and  the  Tiger  Action 
Club.  She  has  also  been  active  in  de- 
bate   and    forensics. 

Other  officers  elected  by  the  sopho- 
mores were  N/orman  Smyer,  class 
president;  Jeanine  Womacks,  vicef- 
president;  Margaret  Dore.  secretary; 
and  Jacqueline  Crews  and  Jack 
Hughes,  student  council  representa- 
tives. 

Freshman  officers  elected  were  Bel- 
va  Tipton,  president;  Winona  Scott, 
vice-president;  Caroline  Hinsey,  sec- 
retary; and  Mildred  Marrs  and  David 
Walker,  student  council  representa- 
tives. 


Miss  Eleanor  Berger 

Miss  Eleanor  Berger,  who  has  taken 
over  Miss  Olive  Moore's  place  in  tne 
Home  Economics  department,  was 
graduated  from  the  Halstead  High 
School,  after  which  she  entered  the 
Kansas  State  College  where  she  re- 
ceived her  Bachelor  of  Science  degree. 

Schwegler  To  Make 
Four  Visits  Here 

Dr.  Raymond  A.  Schwegrler,  a  psy- 
chologist whose  name  is  familiar  to 
most  juco  students,  will  make  four 
trips  to  Arkansas  City  this  year.  Dr. 
Schwegler  has  visited  here  for  the 
past  two   years. 

He  will  lecture  in  assemblies  and 
hold  personal  conferences  with  those 
desiring  individual  attention.  He 
hopes  to  have  time,  this  year,  to  com- 
plete all  the  private  conferences  with 
those  seeking  his  guidance. 

Dr.  Schwegler  will  devote  his  time 
to  Arkansas  City  during  the  weeks  of 
October  10  to  14,  November  28  to 
December  2,  February  6  to  10.  and 
April  17  to  20. 

Dr.  Schwegler,  founder  of  the  Ed- 
ucational Clinic  at  Kansas  University, 
specializes  in  the  analysis  of  emotional 
difficulties.  Although  he  is  now  retired 
from  his  duties  at  Lawrence,  he  de- 
votes his  time  to  helping  young  people 
adjust    themselves    emotionally.

to  the  10  now  in  the  college  band, 
a  proposal  for  ordering  uniforms 
for  the  group  could  be  put  before 
the  board  of  education.  Those  who 
want  a  real  band  should  dig  up

be  a  public  meeting  sometime  within 
the    next   two   months. 

This  meeting,  to  be  called  by  the 
board  of  education,  will  give  those 
interested  an  opportunity  to  state 
their  views  and  to  hear  repors  by 
junior  college  faculty  members  on

Roy  Smith  was  at  the  city  library 
the  other  night,  studying  to  the  ut- 
most of  his  abilities,  when  his  forehead

search  disclosed  that  the  rash  wasn't 
due  to  studying  but  rather  Roy  seemed 
to  be  allergic  to  the  goldenrods  that

Bengals  Play 
El  Dorado; 
Beavers  Next 


Determined  to  gain  their  first  vic- 
tory in  western  division  play,  a  tough 
Tiger  squad  will  go  against  the  El 
Dorado  Grizzlies  Friday  at  Curry 
Field.  It  will  be  El  Dorado's  first 
conference    game    of    the    season. 

The  Grizzlies  swamped  the  Emporia 
State  "B"  team  29  to  0  last  week 
all  of  the  touchdowns  being  made  on 
long  runs,  although  they  attempted 
17  passes,  completing  four.  Out  of 
12  fumbles  made  by  them,  9  were  re- 
covered  by   Emporia. 

Next  week,  on  Oct.  14.  the  Tigers 
face  the  Pratt  Beavers,  who  lost  to 
Hutch  last  Friday  by  the  close  score 
of  24  to  32.  Hutch  is  supposed  to  be 
the  big  power  in  the  conference  this 
year. 

The  Beavers  completed  10  of  13 
attemped  passes  for  a  gain  of  141 
yards  as  compared  to  4*  for  Hutch. 
Both  teams  ran  high  on  penalties  and 
low  on  fumbles.  The  Tigers  upset  the 
Pratt  Beavers  last  year  27  to  12,  and 
are  determined  to  make  a  repeat 
victory.

There  have  been  some  requests  for

offered. 

Classes  meet  one  evening  a  week 
in  2  to  2Vz  hour  classes  with  2  or 
3  hours  credit  given  per  semester. 
A  fee  of  $10  to  $20,  depending  on  the

Hansen  To  Assist 
In  Juco  Football 

Dale  Hanson  has  been  named  assis-

Hanson  formally  coached  the  high

few  sophomores  reporting  for  prac- 
tice and  the  need  of  a  junior  college 
assistant,  the  change  was  made. 

Coaching  the  line  and  assisting  with 
trips  will  be  his  most  important 
duties. 

Hanson  hails  from  Emporia  State 
Teachers  College  where  he  played 
center  in   1940. 

"I  have  worked  with  most  of  the 
boys  in  high  school  and  am  glad  to

lege,"   Hanson    said.

Dodge  Conquers 

Tigers  31-6, 

In  Conference  Go 

The  conquering  Dodge  Conqs  stop- 
ped the  juco  Tigers  in  their  first  wes- 
tern division  game  last  Friday  on 
their  own  gridiron  with  a  31  to  6 
victory.  It  was  their  second  win,  their 
first  being  from  Lamar,  Colo.,  and 
was  in  heavy  contrast  to  the  beating 
the    Tigers    gave    them    last    year. 

Although  facing  an  190-pound  aver- 
age line  as  compared  to  their  own  of 
180,  the  juco  Tigers  out-gained  the 
Conqs  on  the  ground  140  to  127,  but 
they  proved  weak  in  pass  offense  and 
defense,  making  only  8  yards  by  air 
as  compared  to  112  for  the  Conqs. 
Nine  Tiger  fumbles  aided  the  Conqs 
greatly. 

The  Conqs  led  13  to  0  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  second  quarter.  Then  the 
Tigers  pushed  the  opponents  back  to 
their  5  and  Norman  Smyer  knifed 
over  for  the  Tiger's  one  touchdown 
of   the   game.

Miss  Anne  Hawley,  foreign  lang-

Tigers  Drop 
Opener  to 
Ravens,  7-14 

A  95-yard  runback  of  the  Coffey- 
ville  Junior  College  kick-off  gave 
Arkansas  City  followers  their  first 
thrill  of  the  grid  season,  although  the 
Bengals  lost  their  Curry  Field  opener 
7  to  14,  September  23. 

As  Coffeyville  kicked  off  after  the 
second  Raven  touchdown,  Joe  Hearne 
picked  up  the  ball  on  his  own  5-yard 
line  and  handed  off  perfectly  to  Dave 
Mueller,  who  went  90  more  yards  to 
score.  Norman  Smyer,  almost  un- 
noticed in  the  excitement,  threw  the 
key  block  near  the  AC  40-yard 
marker.  Jack  Holiembeak  then  con- 
verted the  extra  point. 

Adams,  of  Cofftyville,  pushed  a- 
cross  the  first  touchdown  early  in  the 
first  quarter,  and  Robinson's  con- 
version was  good. 

After  a  series  of  plays,  the  Ravens 
again  regained  possession  and  Adams 
again  plunged  across.  Robinson's  con- 
version was  good,  making  the  score  14 
to  0.  Then  came  Ark  City's  moment  of 
glory. 

"Spunked  up"  after  Mueller's  T.D., 
the  Tigers  came  back  to  outplay  the 
Ravens  for  the  rest  of  the  game.  The 
Bengals  consistently  drove  deep  into 
the  Ravens'  own  territory,  but  w^re 
unable  to  score  another  touchdown 

Adams  of  Coffeyville  shone  as  he 
carried  the  ball  14  times  for  104  yards 

Dave  Mueller,  besides  making  the 
long  touchdown  run,  carried  the  ball 
]6  times  for  the  Tigers  for  80  yards 
gain.

icipate in  its  blood  collecting  program, 
which  will  be  renewed  with  the  arri- 
val of  the  bloodmobile  here  Decem- 
ber 1.  Volunteers  will  be  solicited 
mainly   from   the  junior  college. 

Students  will  be  dismissed  from 
classes  to  attend  the  clinic  and  they, 
as  donors,  will  receive  a  free  steak 
dinner.  The  blood  they  give  will  be 
available,  free  of  charge,  to  anyone 
who  needs  a  transfusion. 

Last  year  the  college  had  54  volun- 
teers. This  number  can  easily  be 
tripled  if  everyone  will  cooperate, 
sponsors  believe. 

Mrs.  E.  T.  Lindsay,  local  procure- 
ment chairman,  announces  the  clinic 
will  be  held  in  the  basement  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church.  All  per- 
sons intrested  in  donating  to  this 
cause  should  see  Kenneth  E.  Stanley, 
freshman,  who  is  in  charge  of  re- 
cruiting in  the  college.

Added  Programs 
For  Juco  Students 

That  extra  dollar  that  many  stud- 
ents noticed  on  their  activity  fee  this 
fall  is  going  to  pay  for  some  extra 
entertainment.  The  Civic  Music  Assoc- 
iation is  again  sponsoring  a  series 
of    highly    entertaining    programs. 

Guy  Ecroyd,  president  of  the  local 
Civic  Music  Association,  pointed  out 
the  large  amount  of  entertainment  the 
junior  college  students  will  be  receiv- 
ing for  a  small  price.  For  $1  a  semes- 
ter, juco  students  will  get  -what  will 
cost  the  high  school  students  $3.05, 
and  adults   $6.10. 

Helen  Leach,  as  a  representative 
of  the  juco  student  bodv,  attended 
the  association  meeting  at  which  the 
programs  for  the  year  were  chosen. 
The  association  chose  a  series  of  four 
concerts  which  will  consist  of  Marian 
Bell,  soprano;  Winifred  Heckman, 
contralto;  Frank  Edwinn,  baritone; 
and      Raymond     Lewenthal,      pianist.

TAG  Campaign 
Is  Great  Success 

"Sighted  boy;  signed  up  same" 
seems  to  have  been  Don  Bohannon's 
motto  during  the  recent  TAG  mem- 
bership campaign.  The  TAC  needed 
more  members,  especially  boys;  so  Don 
Bohannon  campaigned  for  more  boys. 
From  the  looks  of  the  new  roll,  he 
succeeded  pretty  well.  The  TAC  still 
wants  more  members — boys  and  girls. 
Membership  is  still  open  to  anyone 
who   wishes    to    join. 

The  TAC,  or  Tiger  Action  Club, 
is  the  juco  organization  that  fosters 
the  school  spirit  at  football  games, 
basketball  games  and  all  worthy  juco 
activities.  The  club  uniform  is  a  white 
cardigan  sweater  with  an  orange  tiger 
emblem  sewed  on  the  back  and  black 
trousers  or  skirt.  The  TAC  mem- 
bers wrap  the  goal  posts  with  the 
different  teams'  colors  for  the  football 
games  and  mark  off  reserved  sections 
in  the  bleachers  for  the  TAC  members. 

"The  club  is  planning  many  new 
activities  for  the  school  year,  and  I 
hope  that  more  students  will  become 
interested  in  the  TAC",  says  Ardelia 
Reser.  club  president.

So  you  want  a  new  juco  building? 
Here's  your  chance  to  help  get  one. 
Sometime  in  the  near  future  there  is 
going  to  be  a  community  meeting  for 
the  purpose  of  discussing  plans  for 
the  proposed  junior  college  and  trade 
school  building.  Why  not  get  into 
the  swing  of  things  by  attending  this 
meeting  and  taking  par  in  the  dis- 
cussion? After  all,  if  the  junior 
college  students  aren't  interested,  no- 
body else  will  be  interested  cither,  so 
show  your  interest.  You  may  not  hav 
been  old  enough  to  vote  for  the  build- 
ing, but  by  showing  an  active  interest 
and  making  an  effort  to  get  the  new 
building,  you  can  prove  to  the  voters 
that  a  new  building  will  be  an  asset 
to  the  community. 

Jim  Austin,  Juco 
Grad,  Reports  On 
Naval  Cadet  Life 

Jim  Austin,  juco  graduate  of  last 
year,  who,  as  of  last  August,  is  a 
naval  cadet  at  Pensacola,  Fla.,  has 
written  faculty  members  that  he  is 
thoroughly   enjoying    his    experience. 

In  his  letter  Jim  declares  navrl 
cadet  service  to  be  much  to  his  likin"; 
and  somewhat  comparable  to  juco 
life  --  "only  it  occupies  10  hours  r. 
day  now  instead  of  3.  '  He  has  2  hour", 
a  day  physical  training,  courses  in 
navigation,  principles  of  flight,  essen- 
tials of  naval  service,  naval  justice, 
and    communications. 

"No  cuts  do  they  allow  me  —  it's 
rough,  but  surprisingly  I  like  it,  and 
think  they  ought  to  put  my  boy 
Chambers  through  something  compar- 
able,"  writes   Austin. 

In  conclusion  Jim  expresses  his 
desire  to  make  arrangements  to  re- 
ceive Tiger  Tales  as  his  correspon- 
dents   "are    very    irresponsible."

Jap  Prisons 
Teach  Value 
Of  Freedom 

There  is  nothing  like  a  Japanese 
prison  camp  to  make  one  appreciate 
the  United  States,  Brig.  Gen.  William 
E.  Brougher,  who  spent  four  years 
as  a  prisoner  of  the  Japanese,  told  the 
Junior  College  faculty  and  student 
body  in  the  Junior  High  Auditorium. 
October   7. 

"I'll  tell  you  what  America  means 
to  a  surivor  of  Bataan"  he  said.  "The 
grandest  privilege  in  the  world  today 
is  to  be  an  American.  I  speak  with 
authority  on  freedom.  Any  time  you 
loose  freedom   you  loose  everything." 

He  told  the  students  that  it  is  every 
citizen's  responsibility  and  duty  to  be 
prepared  in  case  of  another  war,  and 
that  our  nation's  armed  forces  should 
not  be  reduced  to  a  weakening  min- 
imum as  they  were  after  World  War  I. 

General  Brougher  was  born  in 
Jackson,  Mississippi  on  Feb.  17,  1889. 
His  early  life  "was  spent  in  the 
grass-grown  trenches  of  the  deep  old 
south",  and  the  biggest  part  of  his 
army  career  was  spent  in  various 
posts  in  the  south.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  Mississippi  State  College, 
with  the  class  of  1910. 

His  home  is  now  at  Decatur,  Ga., 
but  he  planning  to  1  uild  a  house  in 
the  wooded  hills  ff  the  bet.utiful 
northwest    section    of    Atlanta. 

Cen.  Brougher  is  now  carrying  on 
speaking  tours  under  the  auspices  of 
the  Extension  Division  of  the  Uni- 
vesity  of  Kansas.  He  has  filled  over 
250  speaking  engagements,  incident- 
ally traveling  more  than  100,000  miles.

Der  Deutsche  Verein 

Sings  Songs,  Plays  games 

"Du,  du,  liegst  mir  im  Herzen.  du, 
du   liegst  mir  im   Sinn." 

So  sang  members  of  the  German 
language  club,  Der  Deutsche  Verein, 
at  its  .first  meeting  October  12  in  the 
club  rooms.  Besides  the  famous  Ger- 
man drinking  song,  The  Lorelei,  and 
many  other  German  songs  were  sung. 
Then  the  group  indulged  in  a  guess- 
ing game  with  Miss  Anne  Hawley 
"it".  Some  confusion  resulted  when 
students,  not  undersanding  Miss  Haw- 
ley's  queries  in  German,  said  the 
object  wase  both  high  from  the  floor 
and  low  high  from  the  floor. 

It  was  tentatively  decided  meetings 
would  be  held  every  third  Wednesday. 
Also  a  committee  to  nominate  officers 
was   selected. 

The  French  language  club,  Le 
Cercle  Francais,  ancl  the  Spanish,  El 
Circulo  Espanol,  will  be  organized  in 
the   near   future.

Bengals  To 
Meet  Bronks 
And  Friends 


With  fire  in  their  eyes  and  "on  the 
make,"  the  juco  Tigers  will  encounter 
the  Garden  City  Broncos  on  the  Ben- 
gal   home    gridiron    October    21. 

The  Bronks,  who  so  far  in  confer- 
ence play  have  no  wins  and  one  loss 
to  their  credit,  have  tied  Lamar,  Colo., 

6  to  6  and  beat  McCook,  Nebr.,  14  to 
12.  They  lost  to  Dodge  25  to  6.  Last 
year  the  Tigers  wn  over  Garden  15  to 

7  and  intend  to  repeat  this  year.  The 
teams  are  ranked  about  even  in  the 
conference. 

On  October  28  the  Tigers  will 
travel  to  Wichita  to  play  Friends  U. 
for  the  first  encounter  between  the 
teams  of  the  two  schools.  It  is  an 
afternoon   game. 

Reports  on  the  Pratt  game  would 
indicate  the  Tigers  are  beginning  to 
show  some  of  their  real  power  and 
give  reason  to  believe  the  Garden  City 
and  Friends  U.  games  will  be  chalked 
up  as  Tiger  victories,

Juco  Co-Ed 

To  Be  Candidate 

For  Grid  Queen 

Football  enthusiasts,  tired  of  sugar, 
cotton,  raisen,  and  orange  bowls,  will 
again  be  treated  to  a  more  substan- 
tial food  when  the  juco  eastern  divi- 
sion winner  battles  the  western  divi- 
sion winner,  in  the  second  annual 
Wheat  Bowl,  Nov.  26.  Last  year  it 
was  the  Coffeyville  Ravens  against 
the  Hutchinson  Dragons,  in  the  play- 
off staged  by  the  Wichita  Junior 
Chamber    of   Commerce. 

To  add  glitter  and  pictorial  interest 
to  the  game,  Ark  City,  with  11  other 
jucos  has  been  asked  to  send  a  nomi- 
nee for  Wheat  Bowl  queen.  Arkansas 
City's  nominee  last  year  was  Bebe 
Jo  Louderbach.  The  Wheat  Bowl 
queen  o  flast  year  was  the  Iola  en- 
try. 

Nominees,  who  may  be  any  regu- 
larly enrolled  unmarried  female  stu- 
dent, will  have  use  of  a  suit  of  rooms 
at  the  Hotel  Lassen,  have  a  reserved 
section  at  the  game,  and  be  presented 
gifts  at  a  dance  to  be  given  in  their 
honor  the  evening  of  the  game.  The 
nominees  will  be  presented  at  half- 
time  of  the  game  and  the  queen  an- 
nounced. 

All  are  to  attend  a  luncheon  with 
the  judges  at  noon  on  the  day  of  the 
game,  at  which  time  judging  will 
take  place.  Main  points  judged  will 
be    personality    and    appearance. 


Band  to  Have  New  Uniforms 
Council    Appropriates    $120 

At  the  student  council  meeting, 
Oct.  12,  it  was  decided  that  the  band 
should  have  uniforms  financed  in  part 
by  the  student  council  funds.  The 
amount  appropriated  for  this  pur- 
pose   is    $120. 

Uniforms  are  to  consist  of  white 
turtle-neck  sweaters  with  tiger  em- 
blems on  the  back  and  trousers  with 
contrasting  stripes  up  the  sides.  The 
color  of  the  trousers  has  not  yet  been 
definitely  decided  upon,  as  both

Tigers  Tumble 
Before  Grizzlies 
In  Second  Game 

The  Arkansas  City  Tigers  stum- 
bled in  their  second  league  game  to 
the  El  Dorado  Grizzlies,  13  to  7,  at 
Curry    Field    Oct.    7. 

The  Tigers  were  in  scoring  position 
twice  in  the  first  quarter  and  each 
time  the  Grizzlies  tightened  their  line 
and  held  them  back.  In  the  second 
quarter  the  Tigers  began  to  play  bet- 
ter ball  but  were  unable  to  prevent 
LeNormand  from  scoring  El  Dorado's 
first  touchdown.  Snyder's  conversion 
was    not    successful. 

Opening  the  second  half.  El  Dorado 
kicked  off  to  Ark  City  and  were  able 
to  hold  the  Tigers  behind  the  25-yard 
line  for  four  downs,  where  they  took 
possession  of  the  ball,  and  after  a 
series  of  power  plays,  Love  went 
over  for  a  touchdown.  Snyder's  con- 
version   was   good. 

Again  El  Dorado  kicked  off  to  the 
Tigers,  who  took  the  ball  on  about 
the  10-yard  line  and  worked  up  to 
the  31-yard  line.  Then  Mueller,  on  a 
quick  hand-off  from  Hearne,  cut  off 
tackle,  knifed  his  way  past  the  line 
backers,  outran  the  safety  and  scored 
Ark  City's  only  touchdown.  Hollem- 
beak's   conversion    was    good 

The  Tigers  made  a  good  showing 
in  the  fourth  quarter,  but  time  ran 
out  as  they  threatened  to  score 
again.

Large  Turnout 
For  First  Social 

A  group  of  about  200  enjoyed  the 
first  college  social,  held  after  the 
El  Dorado-Ark  City  game,  October 
7. 

Card  games  and  ping-pong  drew 
part  of  the  group  to  the  club  room 
while  those  who  wished  to  dance  did 
so  in  the  girls  gym. 

The  party  was  in  charge  of  the 
student  council  social  committee,  of 
which  Marjorie  Ghramm  is  chairman.

Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
Tigers  fought  to  a  draw  with  Pratt 
Junior  College  in  a  6  to  6  tie  game, 
Oct.    14,   at   Pratt. 

The  Tigers  scored  early  in  the  sec- 
ond quarter  when  a  pass  from  Hearne 
to  Winslow  put  the  ball  on  the  6- 
yard  line,  Neal  hit  the  line  for  5,  and 
Hearne  pushed  over  for  the  first 
score  of  the  game.  Hollembeaks'  con- 
version   was    not    good. 

After  the  kick-off,  Arkansas  City 
fumbled,  with  Pratt  regaining  posses- 
ion on  the  Tiger  20-yard  line.  Hunter, 
shifty  Pratt  backfield  ace,  scrambled 
around  end  for  the  T.  D.  The  conver- 
sion   was    blocked. 

Play  was  pretty  even  until  late 
in  the  fourth  quarter  when  a  Pratt 
punt  was  blocked  on  the  50-yard  line. 
The  next  play  was  probably  the  most 
disputable  of  the  entire  game,  when 
Mueller  hit  off  tackle,  and  see-sawed 
down  the  side  line,  only  to  be  hit  as 
he  dived  across  the  goal  line,  fumb- 
ling as  he  hit  the  ground.  Officials, 
after  a  short  conference,  ruled  the 
ball  was  fumbled  before  enterng  the 
end    zone. 

With  Pratt  recovering  the  fumble, 
it  was  ruled  a  touchback,  with  play 
being    resumed    on    the    20    yard    line. 

The  game  ended  with  Pratt  passing 
desperately    in    the    Tigers'    territory. 

The  Tigers'  defense  clicked  all 
evening,  tackling  in  tne  Beavers'  back- 
field  and  blocking  many  passes  and 
punts.  The  offense  made  gain  after 
gain  only  to  have  a  penalty  called 
against    them.

Date  Set  For 
Community  Meet 

The  date  for  the  community  meeting 
on  the  junior  college  building  was  to 
be  set  November  1  at  a  meetng  of  the 
school  board,  Supt.  J.J.  Vineyard  an- 
nounced   last    week. 

Plans  are  being  made  to  hear  re- 
ports from  the  juco  faculty  members 
on  surveys  thev  have  made  concerning 
the  needs  of  this  building.  The  surveys 
have  been  made  as  to  what  type  of 
curriculum  would  be  best  suited  in 
this  community,  and  what  kind  of  a 
curriculum  should  be  established  in 
light  of  these  reports.  This  will  deter- 
mine the  type,  number,  and  size  of 
rooms.  Sample  designs  are  being  pre- 
paid which  will  show  the  type  room 
best  suited  for  a  particular  course. 

Dr.  Vineyard  states  that  it  is  hoped 
that  the  building  can  be  started  by 
next  summer,  or  as  soon  as  the  pre- 
sent hospital  building  is  completed.

Bailey  To  Do 
Magic  And  Music 
At  Assembly 

How  would  you  like  to  get  five 
dollars  for  just  telling  your  name? 
Then  by  all  means  attend  the  assem- 
bly November  10.  George  Bailey,  the 
man  with  the  photographic  mind,  will 
give  you  five  dollars  if  he  doesn't  re- 
member" your   name. 

He  claims  that  he  can  meet  100  per- 
sons at  the  first  of  the  program — then 
at  the  last  of  the  program  pick  the 
names  from  a  list.  If  he  forgets  your 
name,    you    get    the    $5. 

Bailey,  a  member  of  the  Interna- 
tional Brotherhood  of  Magicians,  will 
put  on  a  magic  and  music  show  in 
addition  to  his  memory  trick. 

It  seems  that  Mr.  Bailey  enjoys  cut- 
ting: up  spectators'  ties  and  baking 
cookies  over  a  hat. 

Baney,  always  different,  uses  a  set 
of  glasses  partly  filled  with  water 
to  play  old  tunes,  sweet  music,  and 
new  melodies.  He  used  to  be  a  violin- 
ist, but  his  music  sounded  so  much 
like  that  of  Jack  Benny  that  it  has 
been  discontinued  from  the  show  by 
popular   request.

Crews  Made 
Grid  Queen; 
Contest  Close 


Jacqueline  Crews,  sophomore  beau- 
ty, was  elected  Wheatbowl  Queen 
candidate  and  juco  grid  queen  by  juco 
students  at  an  election  held  Monday. 
When  even  a  preferential  vote  yielded 
a  tie  vote  for  Jacqueline  and  Norma 
Baker,  the  student  council  resorted 
to  the  method  of  weighting  the  votes. 
Jacqueline  won  by  counting  the  votes 
in  this  method  and  also  would  have 
won  by  a  plurality  vote.  No  candidate 
had  a   majority   of  votes. 

Joan  Coulson,  Treva  Harrison, 
Elaine  Probst,  and  Mary  Swear  in  gen 
were  the  four  other  girls  chosen  by 
the    football    team    as    nominees. 

The  eleven  candidates  from  Kansas 
junior  colleges  participating  in  the 
Wheatbowl  series  will  travel  to 
Wichita  on  November  26  to  be  present 
at  the  Wheatbowl  game.  During  the 
game  they  will  sit  in  a  reserved 
section,  and  during  the  half-time  of 
the  game,  the  nominees  will  be  pre- 
sented and  the  queen  will  be  an- 
nounced, 
planned   for   all    the    potential    queens 

A  luncheon  with  the  judges  is 
on  the  day  of  the  game.  The  dance  will 
be  held  on  the  evening  of  the  game  in 
the  ballroom  of  the  Hotel  Lassen. 

The  entire  affair  is  sponsored  by  the 
Wichita  Junior  Chamber  of  Commerce 
athletic  committee,  in  charge  of  the 
Wheatbowl  game,  and  by  the  student 
councils    in    the    respective    colleges.

A  nosey  reporter,  while  prying- 
through  old  school  papers,  came  upon 
the  teature  story  of  an  October  1939 
school  paper,  "New  Juco  Building  To 
Be  Erected  Here  Next  Year."  Also , 
"Juco  Band  To  Get  New  Uniforms." 
"Where  have  We  heard  this  Before?" 

The  past  generations  of  Juco 
allumni  have  seen  the  possibilities  of 
a  new  juco-trade  school  building,  but 
have  been  able  to  do  nothing  about  it. 

If  every  student  would  take  the  re- 
sponsibility up-on  him-self  to  help 
futher  this  worth-while  drive,  the 
Juco's  of  49  and  50,  would  be  taking 
the  advance  step  necessary  to  com- 
plete this  ten-year  old  issue. 

According  to  latest  information,  the

and  hunting.  Naturally  enough,  his 
favorite  food  is  beefsteak.  The  fact 
that  he  played  basketball  at  Grainola 
high  school  for  4  years  explains  why 
asketball  is  his  favorite  sport. 

Kelley  has  not  decided  just  what 
vocation  he  will  take  up,  but  at  the 
present  he  is  taking  courses  in  both 
veterinarian  and  agriculture  fields. 
He  states  that  he  likes  ACJC.  and  he 
turned  down  an  offer,  to  go  to  Cali- 
fornia and  came  here  instead.

Distributive 
Education  Added 
To  Curriculum 

Distributive  education  and  trade 
and  industry  are  terms  which  are  be- 
coming more  and  more  familiar  with 
the  students  of  ACJC.  This  plan,  new 
here  this  year,  is  an  on-th-job  train- 
ing course.  Distributive  education  deal 
solely  with  salemanship,  while  trade 
and  industry  is  job  training  in  handi- 
crafts   and    manufacturing. 

The  purpose  of  this  plan  is  to  train 
junior  college  men  and  women  for  the 
particular  job  they  may  choose.  It  is 
primarily  for  those  students  who  plan 
to  attend  college  only  two  years,  but 
they  may  specialize  is  distributive 
education  and  go  on  to  a  four-year 
college  for  advanced  work  in  the  field. 

Those  participating  may  work  where 
they  choose  if  the  student  does  not 
have  a  job  the  school  will  aid  him 
in  locating  one. 

Students  attend  a  class  called  "re- 
lated training"  from  eight  to  ten  each 
morning  plus  any  other  subjects  they 
may  choose.  Related  training  deals 
with  each  student  individually  and 
with  any  problem  which  may  confront 
him  in  his  downtow  njob. 

This  semester  only  boys  are  enrolled 
The  course  is  open  to  new  students 
at  the  semester,  however,  at  which 
time  girls  may  enroll. 

On  October  12  the  Distributive  Ed- 
ucation Business  Club  was  organ- 
ized and  elected  officers.  They  are  Don 
Cox,  president;  Ned  Branine,  vice- 
president;  and  Jack  Hughes,  secre- 
tary -  treasurer.  There  are  thirteen

Long  Forgotten 
Juco  School  Song 
Is  Rediscovered 

Some  juco  will  be  surprised  to  know 
they  have  a  school  song  belonging 
to  their  very  own  selves.  The  words 
were  written  by  a  former  teacher 
here,  Miss  Lucille  Plette,  and  the 
music  by  a  former  student,  Jess  Mee- 
ker. The  late  A.  E.  San  Romani 
arranged  the  music. 
Here    are    the    words: 

Let  life  sing  of  A.  C.  collegs  days 

With     joyous     songs     and     rousing 
cheers 

The    happy     friendships    made    will 
always   bring 

Sweet   mem'ries  in  the  after  years. 

Wepledg   to  you   A.  C,  our  loyalty 

In  work  or  play  we'll  stand  the  test. 

The    orange    an    dblack    of     junior 
college 

Will  always   wave  among  the  best. 

Colors  gay  will  fly  again  today 

For  A.  C.  Tigers  brave  and  strong 

We    cheer    for    you    in    victory    or 
defeat 

Our     voices    raise    in    havpy    song. 

It    is    for    loyalty    and     fellowship 
We  pledge  to  you  A.  C,  our  loyalty 

The  spirit  of  our  junior  college 
Will  ever  more  mem'ry  live. 
Wouldn't  it  be  a  good  idea  for  the 
TAC  or  cheer  leaders  or  music  de- 
partment to  reintroduce  the  song,  or 
if  it  stinks  to  select  another  one  ? 
After  all,  what  is  a  school  without 
a  school  song?  Besides,  who  knws,  if 
all  the  jucos  got  busy  learning  it  it 
might  make  the  hit  parade  and  then 
we  would  have  some  money  to  buy 
four-legged  card  tables  for  the  club

them  with  the  customs  of  Spanish- 
speaking  countries,  and  to  promote 
international  friendship.  Membership 
is  open  to  all  students  who  are  taking 
or  have  taken  Spanish,  either  in

Quakers  Defeat 
Tigeis   19-13 

In  Saturday  Tilt 

Friend's  University  Quakers  came 
back  in  the  fourth  quarter  to  win  a  19 
to  13  victory  over  the  Arkansas  City 
Tigers,  October  29.  at  Lawrence  Sta- 
dium,  Wichita. 

Ark  City  took  the  lead  early  in  the 
second  quarter,  when  Don  Winslow 
recovered  a  Friend's  fumble  on  the 
30-yard  line.  Smyer  then  carried  the 
ball  to  the  4-yard  line,  and  Hearne 
plunged  over  for  the  T.  D.  Hollem- 
beak's  kick  went  wide. 

Ark  City  took  the  lead  13  to  6,  for 
the  first  half,  when  Hearne  passed  to 
Bartholomew,  and  the  latter  went  55 
yards  to  score.  The  conversion  pass 
from  Hearne  to  Mueller  was  good. 

After  a  Friend's  punt  and  an  Ark 
City  offside,  in  the  final  stanza,  Hud- 
gins  passed  to  Yazel  to  score.  The 
conversion  was  good,  making  the 
score  13-13.  Twice  in  the  same  quart- 
er the  Arks  got  to  the  Quaker  2-yard 
line,  only  to  bog  down. 

Friend's  took  the  lead  late  in  the 
fourth  quarter,  when  Hudgins  pass- 
ed to  Yazel  for  the  T.D.  The  con- 
version was  blocked.  Freind's  then 
stalled  out  the  rest  of  the  same.

Schwetrler  To  Speak 

Dr.  R.  A.  Schwegler  is  expected  to 
appear  before  the  junior  college  some- 
time durning  the  week  of  November 
28.  A  definite  date  has  nt  been  set. 
Dr.  Schwegler  was  orginally  scheduled 
to  be  here  for  conferences  in  October, 
but  illness  preven+ed  his  appearance. 


rones  First 
Victims    of 
Tiger  Gridmen 

Hard-charging,  rip-roaring  Tigers 
displayed  their  best  football  hospitality 
in  trouncing  the  Garden  City  Brones 
25   to   6,   October  21,   at  Curry   Field. 

The  first  touchdown  came  in  the 
middle  of  the  second  quarter  when 
the  Tigers,  on  their  first  sustained 
drive  of  the  year,  marched  from  their 
15  to  the  Brones'  12.  Mueller  then 
circled  right  end  and  made  the  T.  D. 
Late  in  the  second  quarter  Bill  Neal 
scored  the  Tigers'  second  T.  D.  from 
the  6-yard  line,  following  a  Tiger 
drive  which  began  at  the  Brones'  25- 
yard  line. 

Later  yet  in  the  second  quarter 
Mueller  made  one  of  his  spectacular 
runs  down  the  sidelines  for  51  yards. 
The  third  quarter  was  scoreless,  with 
the  ball  seesawing  back  and  forth 
across  the  field.  In  the  middle  of  Lie 
fourth  came  the  final  T.  D.  for  the 
Tigers,  when  Martin,  playing  at 
quarter  for  the  first  time,  rammed 
fifteen  yards  through  the  line,  and 
then    crashed    2    more    for    the    score. 

Jack  Hollembeak  made  good  one  try 
for  the  extra  point  out  of  four  at- 
tempts. 

The  Brones'  score  came  late  in  the 
final  stanza  as  a  result  of  57  and  19 
yard  passes  completed  against  Tiger 
subs. 

The  Tigers  outgained  the  Brones 
327  yards  to  238.  including  passes, 
had  12  first  downs  to  the  Brones'  9. 
The  Tigers  made  one  unsuccessful 
pass  to  the  Brones'  12  tries  with  six 
completion"

waits  New 


Uniforms 

Band  members  are  eagerly  await- 
ing the  arrival  of  the  new  uniforms 
for  which  they  have  waited  so  long. 

A  representative  from  the  Fruhauf 
Uniform  Company  of  Wichita  was 
here  Nov.  8  to  take  measurements. 
Twenty-five  uniforms  are  being  or- 
dered. 

The  uniforms  will  consist  of  black 
trousers  with  an  orange  stripe  down 
the  side  and  white  pull-over  sweaters 
with  the  tiger  emblem.  It  is  hoped 
that  by  next  year  a  regular  uniform 
jacket  can  be  purchased  to  complete 
the  outfit. 

Uniforms  are  scheduled  to  be  de- 
livered in  time  to  be  warn  to  the 
Wheat  Bowl   game,  Nov.   26. 

For  nearly  ten  years  there  has 
been  hope  that  enough  people  would 
be  enrolled  in  band  to  warrant  the 
purchase  of  uniforms,  but  each  year 
the  project  has  been  put  aside.  This 
year  it  was  decided  that  more  interest 
could  be  aroused  if  uniforms  were  pur- 
chased, so  a  supreme  effort  was  made 
and   it  ended  successfully.

Jacqueline  Crews  was  crowned 
football  queen  and  candidate  for 
Wheatmowl  queen  at  the  half  of  the 
Iola  football  game  at  Curry  field- on 
November  2.  Jacqueline  attired  in  a 
tailored  suit,  carried  a  large  bouquet 
of  white  mums.  The  rhinestone  crown 
was  placed  on  the  brunette  by  Don 
Lyle,    game    captain. 

The  queen  and  her  three  attendants, 
Norma  Jo  Baker,  Joan  Coulson,  and 
Mary  Swearengin,  were  brought  on- 
to the  darkened  field  in  a  light  green 
convertible.  A  light  was  centered  on 
the  queen  as  her  crown  was  put  in 
place. 

Jacquelinne  will  represent  Arkansas 
City  at  the  Wheatbowl  game  at 
Wichita  on  November  26.  She  will 
be  a  candidate  for  the  wheatbowl 
queen. 


The  new  junior  college  and  trade 
school  building  is  finally  becoming  a 
plan  rather  than  just  a  dream. 

Sealed  bids  for  construction  of  the 
building  will  be  accepted  by  the  school 
board  in  July  and  it  is  planned  to 
start  construction  about  the  time  the 
new  hospital  is  completed  next  year. 

"It  is  hoped,"  Supt.  J.  J.  Vineyard 
said,  "that  classes  will  meet  in  the 
new  building  for  the  first  time  in 
September  of  1951" 

At  its  November  meeting,  the 
school  board  also  set  a  date  for  the 
public  hearing  for  the  educationtional 
specifications  on  the  building.  This 
hearing,  to  be  held  on  November  28 
at  8  p.  m.  in  the  junior  high  school 
auditorium,  will  give  the  parents  and 
other  interested  persons  a  change  to 
state  their  views  of  needed  facilities 
and  to  hear  a  description  of  facilities 
which  are  already  included  in  the 
plans. 

Two  years  ago  juco  students  spon- 
sored an  all-out  campaign  to  raise 
$350,000  for  the  new  building.  This 
mony  is  now  laying  in  wait  until  it 
will  be  needed  to  start  work. 

"Since  we  have  only  a  certain 
amount  of  money,  plans  for  the  new 
junior  college  and  trade  school  build- 
ing include  the  facilities  which  will 
contribute  the  most  for  the  most 
people,"  say  Dr.  Vineyard.

German   Club 
In  Dark  As 
Light  Fails 

"Was  happen"  muttered  members 
of  Miss  Anne  Hawley's  German  class 
November  9  as  they  stumbled  about. 
It  was  the  second  meeting  in  the 
juco  club  rooms  of  Der  Deutsch  Ver- 
ein,  the  German  language  club.  The 
mutterings  were  occasioned  by  the 
blowing  of  a  fuse  blacking  out  all  the 
lights  when  a  movie  camera  cord  was 
plugged  in.  Cider  and  doughnuts  to 
be  served  following  a  movie  seemed 
to  be  the  center  of  attention  while 
the  lights  were  out.  with  many  mem- 
bers finding  fillin  ga  cup  in  the  dark 
to  be  rather  difficult  and  wet  business. 
Finally  the  scheduled  movie,  which 
concerned  the  present  educational  con- 
ditions  in    Europe,  was   presented. 

Earlier  in  the  mpeting  elections 
were  held.  Mary  Swearingen  was 
elected  president;  Bob  Darrough,  vice- 
president;  Betty  Harrington,  secre- 
tary; and  Bill  Gemar,  reporter.  In 
the  near  future  a  program  committee 
will  be  selected.  The  sixteen  mem- 
bers decided  to  buy  some  Christmas 
gifts  for  a  German  child  through  a 
organization  for  gifts  to  Europe's 
needy.  The  meeting  will  be  held  Nov- 
ember 30. 


Bonfire  and  Social  Staced 
Before  Iola  Game 

The  first  junior  college  night  pep 
rally  was  held  the  night  before  the 
game  with  Iola.  The  school  spirit,  in 
anticipation  of  a  Tiger's  victory,  was 
displayed  with  a  snake  dance  on  Sum- 
mit Street.  The  snake  dance  was  fol- 
lowed by  a  bonfire  where  marshmal- 
lows  were  toasted  and  the  cheerleaders 
lead  a  few  yells.  The  students  spent 
the  rest  of  the  evening  dancing  and 
playing  cards  and  ping  pong  in  the 
juco  club  rooms.  The  social  commit- 
tee  was    in    charge    of    arrangements.

Bailey  Presents 
Magic,  Music, 
And  Memory 


Jucos  were  treated  to  a  program 
of  music,  memory  and  magic  Novem- 
ber 8  at  the  lyceum  presented  by 
George  Bailey.  Looking  younger  than 
his  professed  forty-seven  years,  he 
started  off  by  having  the  classes  of 
P.  M.  Johnson  and  Miss  Sleeth  trek 
across  the  stage  while  he  rattled  off 
each  person's  name  by  memory,  hav- 
ing trouble  only  with  Joe  Cary  and 
Jack  Acklin.  He  had  spent  about  ten 
minutes  before  the  assembly  meeting 
the  students.  As  a  result  of  Bailey's 
being  unable  to  recall  his  name  for 
about  a  minute,  Acklin  came  off  the 
stage  a  dollar  richer. 

In  reply  to  a  query  by  Dean  K.  R. 
Galle  as  to  how  he  did  it,  Bailey  re- 
plied that  it  took  brains,  required 
great  concentration,  strict  attention, 
and  repetition  of  names,  the  major 
factor  being  the  degree  of  attention. 
According  to  Bailey,  anyone  of  aver- 
age intelligence  could  do  as  well  if 
he  knew  he  would  lose  five  dollars  if 
he   forgot. 

Came  magic,  with  Bunt  Speer's 
green  tie  being  gayly  cut  up  only  to 
be  put  back  together  later.  Next  vic- 
tim was  Don  Lyle  who,  as  a  result  of 
one  card  being  the  right  card,  could 
be  sure  he  was  "living  the  right  kind 
of  life."  Many  wonder  if  he  was  as 
puzzled  as  they  at  the  card  trick  in 
which  the  ace  of  spades  somehow  got 
between  the  two  pieces  of  ^;lass.  Tall 
Jack  Sayers  was  a  victim  when  his 
hat  was  put  on  fire,  but  wasn't.  For 
enduring  such  an  ordeal  he  was  re- 
warded with  cookies  which,  although 
according  to  Bailey  were  made  last 
March.  Sayers  seemed  to  relish.  May- 
be he  was  hungry. 

Following  magic  the  audience  was 
entertained  with  music  from  four  sets 
of  musical  glasses.  Bailey,  playing 
from  two  to  five  notes  with  each  hand, 
played  five  songs,  including  "Bells  of 
St. 'Mary's"  and  "White  Christmas." 
According  to  Bailey  the  small,  high- 
toned  glasses  are  inexpensive  as  com- 
pared to  the  large  ones. 

With  music  still  in  the  audience's 
ears,  Eailey  called  to  the  sta°-e  "the 
man  with  the  head  of  hair",  none 
other  than  teacher  Daniel  Stark.  Some 
chemistry  students  seemed  strangely 
elated  when  Bailey  relieved  the  teach- 
er of  his  shirt.  So  ended  the  lyceum  of 
magic,  music  and  memory.

Tigers 

Blue  Dragons 

In  Last  Duel 

The  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
Tigers,  "back  from  the  war"  in  the 
eastern  conference  with  the  Indepen- 
dence Pirates,  are  engaging  in  vigor- 
us  practice  in  preparation  for  their 
forthcoming  game  with  the  tough 
Hutchinson   Blue    Dragons. 

The  Hutch  gridiron  duel  will  be  the 
last  for  the  Tigers  this  season  and 
they  will  be  anxious  to  avenge  last 
year's  loss  and  scramble  the  western 
conference    lead. 

The  Dragons  are  rated  the  toughest 
team  in  the  state  and  are  out  to  main- 
tain their  unbeaten  conference  mark 
and  chalk  up  their  second  trip  to  the 
Wheat  Bowl. 

In  conference  play,  so  far  this  year, 
the  highly  rated  Dragons  have  won 
4  games,  losing  or  tying  none.  Push- 
ing over  a  total  of  130  points,  they 
have  held  their  opponents  to  a  total 
of  31.  In  non-conference  games,  how- 
ever, they  suffered  defeat  at  the 
hands  of  the  Wichita  U.  "B's"  and 
Compton,  Calif.,  Junior  College,  1948 
National  Champions 

The  Dragons'  combination  of  backs, 
Ackerman,  Wall,  and  Clarahan  have 
lead  the  scoring  throughout  the  entire 
grid  season.  A  big,  tough,  rugged  line 
has  so  for  been  able  to  smother  all 
opponents. 

Eighteen  Tiger  gridmen  will  end 
their  juco  football  careers  this  week. 
All  except  Jack  Burnett,  whose  pic-

Lawhon  Retrieves 
As  Thornbro  Swats 
Ball  Into  Canal 

If  you  hear  water  splashing  in  the 
canal  down  by  the  football  field,  it  is 
probably  Mary  Lawhon  retrieving  a 
golf  ball.  The  girls  gym  class,  under 
the  direction  of  Miss  Edith  Davis,  has 
been  learning  a  few  of  the  fundamen- 
tals of  golf.  The  girls  have  been  prac- 
ticing their  golf  at  Curry  Field  dur- 
ing their  class  periods.  Whenever  a 
golf  ball  gets  knocked  into  the  canal, 
Mary  immediately  jumps  in  to  re- 
trieve  it. 

Now  you  might  think  that  not  very 
many  balls  are  hit  hard  enough  by 
these  beginners  to  travel  clear  across 
field,  but  when  Neva  Thornbro  hits  the 
ball,  it,  in  all  probability,  sails  beau- 
tifully through  the  air  and  lands — you

Tigers  Down 
Red  Devils 
21    To    0 

The  Tigers  chalked  lip  their  sec- 
ond win  of  the  season  against  the 
Iola  Red  Devils,  November  2,  21  to  0. 

Iola  was  able  to  gain  only  96  yards 
against  the  strong  Tiger  defensive 
line.  The  Red  Devils  then  took  to  the 
air,  but  failed  again  as  they  completed 
only  three  out  of  their  27  attempted 
passes. 

The  Tigers  rolled  up  a  total  of  348 
yards  while  the  Red  Devils  had  a 
total    of    162    yards. 

The  Bengals  forced  Iola  to  punt 
deep  in  their  own  territory  shortly 
after  the  opening  kick-off.  Hatcher 
partially  blocked  Iola's  kick.  Hearne 
then  hit  Bartholomew  with  a  short 
jump  pass  for  a  first  down.  On  the 
next  play  Bill  Neal  crashed  over  for 
the  TD.  Boyles  passed  to  Mueller  for 
the   extra   point. 

The  Tigers  score  again  late  in 
the  first  quarter  after  a  Red  Devil 
fumble.  Boyles  received  a  pass  from 
Neal  and  ran  over.  A  pass  from  Boyles 
to   Acklin    converted    the   extra   point. 

The  Bengal's  final  score  came  in 
the  last  quarter  when  Mueller  took  a 
hand-off  from  Hearne  and  ran  74 
yards  untouched  as  he  crossed  the 
end  zone.  Hollembeak  then  kicked 
the  extra  point  to  bring  the  score  to  21 
to    0. 

guessed  it —  right  in  the  canal.  Curry 
Field  just  isn't  wide  enough  for  the 
girls  who  are  determined  to  put  their 
balls  in  the  canal. 

Truth  to  tell,  some  of  the  girls 
have  lost  afew  balls,  so  they  bought 


Pirates  Sink 
Tigers,  21-13 
On  Road  Trip 

The  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
Tigers  in  an  afternoon  homecoming 
game  with  the  Independence  Pirates 
were  defeated  21  to  13  on  the  Pirates' 
home    field. 

The  Tigers  came  across  with  the 
first  score  late  in  the  first  quarter, 
when  big  Martin  came  through 
the  Pirates  offensive  wall  and  blocked 
a  Pirate  punt.  The  ball  rolled  into 
the  end  zone,  where  it  was  recovered 
by  Martin  and  Winslow.  Morris  con- 
verted and  the  Tigers  led  7  to  0. 

Play  was  even  until  a  Pirate  pass, 
Smith  to  Ghook,  was  good  in  the  end 
zone.  Miller  converted,  tying  the  score 
7  all. 

Ark  City  bounced  back  with  a  short 
pass  over  the  middle,  Hearne  to  Bar- 
tholomew, and  the  latter  went  to  the 
Pirate  2-yard  line  before  being  pulled 
down  from  behind.  Hearne  then  went 
over  on  a  quarterback  keepper  play. 
The  conversion  was  not  good. 

With  only  14  seconds  left  in  the 
first  half,  the  Pirate  quarter  lateraled 
25  yards  to  the  right  and  back  to  the 
halfback  who  threw  a  50-yard  pass 
into  the  end  zone.  The  conversion  was 
good  and  the  Pirates  lead  14  to  13 
at  the  half. 

Receiving  the  kick  off,  the  Bengals 
were  forced  to  kick  from  their  own 
end  zone,  the  ball  being  put  in  play 
on  the  30-yard  line.  Three  plays  later 
the  Pirates  pushed  over  their  third 
T.  D.  Miller  then  converted. 

Ark  City  penetrated  twice  more 
deep  into  the  Pirates'  territory  but 
was  unable  to  score. 

The  Tiger  defensive  line  outplayed 
the  Pirates,  but  went  to  sleep  on  a 
few  plays.  Offensively  the  Tiger  line 
was  opening  up  good  holes,  but  the 
downfield  blocking  was  bad.

some  second  hand  balls.  Helen  Ramsey 
hit  one  of  these  so  hard  on  her  first 
try  that  she  knocked  off  half  of  the 
outside  covering'.  So  watch  out,  every- 
body, when  the  girls  gym  class  starts 
to  practice  golf.  The  girls  may  not 
swing  their  clubs  perfectly  now,  but 
just  give  them  time.

Crews  Is 
Second  In 
Wheatbowl 

Jacqueline  Crews,  Arkansas  City 
Wheatbowl  queen  candidate,  ran  sec- 
ond only  to  Caroline  Ash,  Indepen- 
dence entry,  as  the  twelve  college 
beauties  were  paraded  before  the 
Wheatbowl  crowd  of  5,000  fans  at 
Wichita    Saturday. 

As  first  attendant  to  the  queen, 
Jackie  was  presented  with  a  portable 
radio,  and  with  her  escort  was  guest 
of  honor  at  the  Queen's  Ball  after  the 
game,  and  at  a  pre-game  luncheon. 

In  the  annual  Wneatbowl  classic  the 
Coffeyville  eastern  division  champions 
battled  the  Hutch  western  division 
champions  to  a  13  to  13  tie.  The  same 
teams  tied  in  the  bowl  6  to  6  last 
year.  Both  teams  may  still  boast  they 
have  not  been  defeated  in  conference 
play  over  a  3-year  period. 

The  game's  final  outcome  was 
somewhat  surprising  as  the  Ravens 
led  the  Hutch  Dragons  13  to  0  at 
the  half.  However  the  Dragons  far 
outg^ined  the  Ravens  on  the  ground 
an  din  the  air.  The  Dragons  tied  the 
^ame  up  in  the  first  minutes  of  the 
last  quarter  on  a  92-yard  march.  The 
game  ended  in  a  flurry  with  the  ball 
clanging  hands  many  times  and  both 
teams  taking  big  chances. 

Teams  and  bands  from  many  of  the 
jucos  were  at  the  game,  having  been 
supplied  free  tickets  by  the  Wichita 
Junior  Chamber  of  Commerce,  spon- 
sors of  the  game.  Members  of  the 
juco  Tigers  grid  squad  plus  19  juco

Blood  Donors 

ive  lo 
Save  Lives 

The  Red  Cross  bloodmobile  began 
operations  here  in  the  First  Presby- 
terian church  early  today.  Donors 
should  come  mainly  from  the  junior 
college  although  anyone  from  age  18 
to  59  who  passes  the  physical  examin- 
ation may  be  a  donor. 

The  blood  is  available  free  of 
charge  to  anyone  who  needs  it.  Any- 
one who  desires  to  be  a  donor  should 
see  or  phone  Ken  Stanley  of  Mrs.  E. 
T.  Lindsay  of  the  local  Red  Cross 
bureau  for  an  appointment,  or  go 
directly  to  the  church. 

Juco  students  are  scheduled  mainly 
in  the  morning  and  are  to  be  excused 
from  classes  if  necessary  says  Dean 
K.  R.  Galle.  It  takes  approximately 
ten  minutes  to  draw  the  blood,  then 
fifteen  minutes  of  rest,  and  finally 
time   for  a   free   steak   dinner. 

Of  the  four  types  of  blood.  O,  A, 
AB,  and  B,  type  0  is  especially  de- 
sired as  it  can  be  used  in  matching 
all    the    others. 

Mrs.  Lindsay  says  they  can  handle 
eight  persons  each  quarter  hour.  She 
especially  wished  to  stress  the  fact 
that  young  donors  make  good  donors. 
The  need  for  the  blood  is  urgent,  as 
supply  has  barely  kept  up  with  de- 
mand. The  blood  may  be  preserved  in 
its  whole  state  for  only  21  days,  after 
which  it  is  transformed  into  plasma. 
The  bloodmobile  will  be  in  Ark  City 
again  sometime  in  January  as  the  Red 
Cross  trier  to  have  it  here  once  each 
00  days. 


Construction 
Of  College 
Is  Debated 

A  group  of  approximately  100  per- 
sons gathered  in  the  junior  high  audi- 
torium Monday  evening,  Nov.  28,  for 
the  purpose  of  discussing  the  plans 
for  construction  of  the  long-awaited 
new    junior    college    building. 

Reports  were  given  by  the  chairmen 
of  committees  who  had  examined  the 
needs  of  a  new  building.  The  meeting 
was  then  thrown  open  for  discussion 
and    questions    by    the    group. 

The  program  was  in  charge  of  Guy 
Hutchinson,  and  committee  reports 
were  given  by  P.  M.  Johnson,  Forrest 
Haines,  Carl  Holman,  Dean  K.  R. 
Galle,  and  Supt.  J.  J.  Vineyard.  Mr. 
Johnson  reported  on  the  findings  of 
his  committee  concerning  the  curic- 
ulum  offered  in  other  junior  colleges 
in  Kansas  and  across  the  nation.  Mr. 
Haines  discussed  the  industrial  aspects 
connected  with  the  building.  Dean  Gal- 
le presented  statistics  concerning  en- 
rollment of  the  past  and  what  is  ex- 
pected for  the  future.  Dr.  Vineyard 
told  of  basic  considerations  that  must 
be  weighed  before  the  building  can 
be  started,  and  Mr.  Holman  showed 
the  artist's  perspectives  which  the 
architect  had  made  and  told  of  the 
sample  class  rooms  made  by  each 
teacher. 

An  enthusiastic  discussion  followed 
with  expressions  and  questions  from 
many    members    of    the    group. 

George  Stanley,  j.c.  '24,  and  W.  L. 
Cunningham,  Arkansas  City  attorneys, 
blasted  the  board  of  education  and 
faculty  speakers  for  their  recommen- 
dations, and  themselves  recommended 
the  abandonment  of  the  new  college- 
trade  school  building  plans  and  re- 
habilitation and  use  of  the  old  high- 
school  building  at  Central  and  Sec- 
ond as  a  college  building.  Others 
questioned  the  board  on  plans  and 
costs  of  the  new  building,  and  costs  of 
repairing    the    old    building. 

Guy  Hutchinson,  board  president, 
presided.

THE  BASEMENT  BUZZ 


We  at  last  have  hopes  of  changing 
the  name  of  this  column.  The  new  juco 
building  means  that  the  "Basement 
University"  will  come  out  of  the  base- 
ment. We  will  then  have  to  have  some 
other  kind  of  "buzz"  besides  "base- 
ment buzz."  But  who  cares  as  long 
as  we  get  a   new  building  ? 

D.  C.  Stark  has  been  promising  to 
give  Hershey  bars  to  the  students 
in  his  beginning  chemistry  class — 
but  there's  a  catch.  They  have  to 
give  him  the  correct  formula  for  a 
compound.  If  they  don't  they  have 
__to  give  him  Hershey  bars.  Seems__ 
Mr.  Stark  is  due  for  a  lot  of  candy. 

The  zoology  class  has  been  drawing 
worm  pictures  from  preserved  speci- 
mens, and  the  other  day  Jack  Cham- 
bers asked:  "Mr.  Day,  why  can't  we 
have  this  class  at  one  o'clock  instead 
of  just  before  dinner?" 

Mr.  Day:  "It's  better  to  have  it  at 
this  time.  This  way  you  don't  have 
anything   to    lose." 

The  students  in  English   Literature 


were  studying  the  Alcestis  of  Euri- 
pides and  several  students  inquired 
as  to  why  they  cut  a  lock  of  hair  from 
a  dying  person.  One  student  quietly 
replied : 

"They  were  getting  Toni  samples." 

One  Friday  morning  in  Miss  Haw- 
ley's  French  class  Paul  Price  read  this 
headline  from  a  newspaper:  "French 
Student  Slays  French  Teacher."  The 
following  Monday  morning  the  stu- 
dents noticed  in  her  class  room  a  large 
club.  Self  defuse,  no  doubt. 

At  a  recent  PTA  Meeting  Allan 
Maag  made  the  remark,  "Sometimes  I 
wonder  how  there  can  be  so  many 
little  devils."  He  paused  and  surveyed 
the  audience.  It  is  understood  that  he 
found  the  answer. 

When  Mary  Lawhon  made  a  bright 
remark  in  gym  class,  Caroline  Hin- 
sey  said,  "Mary,  don't  be  so  stupid." 
Mary  came  back  with:  "If  you  think 
I  m  stooped,  you  should  see  my 
gri  nd  mot  her — she's    all    bent    over.

Thanksgiving  passes  uneventful 
for  many,  but  for  others  it  held  speci- 
al significance  in  one  form  or  another. 
A  poll  of  various  juco  students  proved 
eating,  sleeping  and  hunting  to  be 
favorite  pastimes  for  many. 

Neva  Thornbro — Went  back  to  Mil- 
ton where  I  had  a  visitor.    (Who)

Students  Share  In 
Giving  Thanks 

A  special  Thanksgiving  assembly 
was    held    Wednesday    November    23. 

The  stage  was  decorated  only  with 
the  American  flag.  It  was  moving 
slighty  in  a  breeze  that  appeared  to 
be   coming  out  of  nowhere. 

The  college  chorus,  seated  in  the 
balcony,  opened  the  program  by  sing- 
ing "We  Gather  Together."  Bill 
Himes,  assembly  chairman,  set  the 
fcneme  for  a  student  program  of 
thankfulness  for  all  the  rest  of  the 
^riays  of  the  year. 

"  The  Rev.  W.  C.  Neal,  Cedar  Vale 
i  -minister  and  a  college  sophomore, 
read  the  scripture  and  gave  a  prayer 
of  thanksg'iving.  Mary  Swearingen 
gave  thanks  for  education,  and  for  the 
college  at  home,  so  that  many  might 
get  two  years  of  college,  who  other- 
wise could  do  so.  John  Maier  gave 
thanks  for  the  right  to  gather  in  our 
homes,  to  gather  at  the  different  clubs, 
to  meet  at  our  own  places  of  wor- 
ship, the  basic  right  of  assembly.  Win- 
ston Menish  gave  thanks  for  being  an 
American,  the  right  to  speak  our 
minds,  the  right  to  pick  our  own  re- 
ligion. 

The  program  was  concluded  with 
the  chorus  singing  "For  the  Beauty 
of  the  Earth." 


Is  Football  Being   Ruined? 
Coaches  Of  Army,  Rutgers 
Debate   Free   Substitution 

Free  substitution  is  destroying  col- 
legiate   football! 

So  says  Harvey  Harman,  coach  of 
Rutgers,  in  November  Esquire.  But 
in  the  same  article,  "THE  PLATOON 
SYSTEM:  IS  IT  RUINING  FOOT- 
BALL?" Earl  "Red"  Blaik  of  Army 
defends   specialization. 

These  two  top  coaches  face  off  and 
punt  the  most  controversial  subject 
in  collegiate  football  back  and  forth 
across  Esquire's  pages. 

Harman,  past  president  of  the 
American  Football  Coaches  Associa- 
tion, maintains  that  free  substitution 
is  destroying  the  personal  advant- 
ages of  the  game.  "I  want  to  be  a 
coach,  not  a  traffic  cop,"  declares 
Harman.  One  of  his  players  after 
shuttling  on  and  off  the  field  all 
afternoon,  remarked,  "Hell,  this  isn't 
a  football  team,  it's  an  army.  This 
isn't  a  game,  it's  maneuvers." 

Blaik,  standing  up  for  the  platoon 
system,  states  it  brings  the  fan 
better,  faster  games  and  sives  more 
boys  a  chance  to  play.  "It  is  a  simple 
matter  of  efficiency,"  exclaims  Blaik. 
"ET  en  the  die-hards  who  cling  to  old 
fashioned  techniques  and  customs  will 
have1  to  admit,  sooner  of  later,  that 
patoon  play  gives  more  athletes  a 
chance  to  play  better  football.  And 
if  that  isn't  an  achievement  that's 
eminently  worth-while,  we  might  as 
well  turn  in  our  uniforms."

Debate  Squad  To 
Attend  Tourney 

Allen  Maag,  forensics  coach,  plans 
to  take  his  debate  squad  to  Pittsburgh 
December  9,  to  participate  in  a  four- 
state  debate  tournament,  he  an- 
nounced  this    week. 

This  will  be  the  debaters  first  tour- 
nameit  this  year.  The  topic  is  "Nation- 
alization of  Basic  Industries,"  the 
intercallegiate   question  this  year. 

Maag  plans  to  take  Helen  Leach, 
Bill  Gemar,  Helen  Ramsey.  Jane  De- 
Vore,   Don   Pringle,  and   Jack   Pfister. 

Helen  Leach  and  Bill  Gemar  were 
on  last  year's  debate  team,  while  th° 
other  four  are  newcomers  to  college 
forensics.

Judy  Peck 
Speaks  to 
French  Club 


Judy  Peck,  former  student,  was  the 
guest  speaker  at  the  French  Club 
meeting,  November  15.  Miss  Peck 
told  of  her  trip  through  Europe  last 
summer  which  was  sponsored  by  the 
Experiment  in  International  Living. 
This  organization's  purpose  is  to  cre- 
ate a  better  understanding  among  the 
peoples  of  the  world  by  having  them 
live  together  for  a  short  time  and  to 
learn  to  understand  each  other  better. 

Miss  Peck  went  to  France  with  a 
group  of  10  persons,  but  after  they 
reached  Solesmes,  France,  they  were 
separated  and  each  person  went  to 
live  with  a  French  family.  She  spent 
4  weeks  in  Solesmes  living  with  the 
family  as  a  daughter.  While  she  was 
with  the  family  she  learned  to  enjoy 
the  French  custom  of  taking  2  hours 
for    lunch. 

After  her  month  was  up  at  Soles- 
mes she  returned  to  the  group  and  to- 
gether they  went  on  a  bicycle  tour 
through  Brittany.  While  on  the  tour 
they  were  fortunate  enough  to  get  to 
see  two  festivals,  one  a  religious  cere- 
mony and  the  other  was  a  folklore 
festival.  The  bicycle  tour  lasted  for 
two  weeks  and  then  they  spent  the 
next  eight  days  in  Paris,  where  they 
were  busy  day  and  night  trying  to 
see  all  the  sights. 

The  last  eight  days  in  Paris  ended 
the  sponsored  tour,  but  Miss  Peck 
and  a  friend  went  on  their  own  to 
"Switzerland  to  Brussels,  and  to  Ams- 
terdam. The  remainder  of  their  time 
was  spent  in  London. 

Miss  Peck's  only  regret  was  that 
she  could  not  spend  more  time  in 
Europe.

Games  On 
Basketball 
Agenda 

Following  the  November  29  game 
with  St.  Johns,  the  Bengal  basket- 
bailers  meet  the  Independence  Pirates 
December  6  on  the  Independence 
court.  Last  year  the  Bengals  trounced 
the  Pirates  35  to  24  in  their  first 
season  encounter.  December  9  on  the 
home  court  the  Bengals  face  the  Hutch 
Dragons  which  they  last  year  downed 
32  to  27.  Again  on  the  home  court 
December  14  the  Bengals  will  battle 
the  Parson  Cardinals. 

Little  is  as  yet  known  about  the 
Pirates,  Cardinals  or  Dragons  except 
that  they  will  be  no  pushover.  With 
bright  memories  of  the  brilliant  bas- 
ketball record  of  last  year  the  Tigers 
will  be  giving  their  all.

Ramsey,  Fennel,  and  Miser 
Entertain  Spanish  Club 

Helen  Ramsey  and  Jean  Fennel  be- 
gan the  Spanish  Club  program 
November  22  by  singing  "Solamente 
Una  Vez"  or  You  Belong  to  My 
Heart".  They  were 'aided  in  this  ac- 
complishment by  Carrie  Webb,  who 
played  the  piano. 

Don  Miser  then  extended  the  en- 
tertainment by  showing  a  comedy 
film,  "Donald's   Mexican   Romance." 

While  the  club  members  were  still 
laughing  over  Donald's  antics,  they 
started  playing  "Upset  the  Fruit  Bas- 
ket", using  the  Spanish  names  for  the 
fruits.  When  everyone  had  had  a 
turn  at  trying  to  twist  their  tongues 
around  these  Spanish  words,  refresh- 
ments of  cocoa  and  cookies  were  ser- 
ved. 

This  concluded  the  meeting-  which 
had  been  truly  a  Spanish  meeting, 
with  Caroline  Hinsey,  president, 
carrying  on  the  business  part  of  the 
meeting  in  Spanish  and  Julio  Mar- 
tinez, secretary,  reading  the  minutes 
in    Spanish.

Tigers  Smothered 
By  Dragons  In 
Last  Grid  Game 

The  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
Tigers  went  down  in  defeat,  42  to  0, 
before  the  mighty  Hutchinson  Junior 
College  powerhouse  in  the  last  game 
of  the  grid  season,  November  18. 

Taking  the  opening  kick-off,  the 
Tigers  threw  a  screen  pass  to  the 
Hutch  39-yard  line,  but  were  unable 
to  puncture  the  Dragon  line,  and 
Hutch  took  over.  In  six  plays,  the 
Blue  Dragons  marched  over  for  the 
first  score.  The  conversion  was  block- 
ed. 

The  Dragons  could  not  be  stopped 
in  the  first  quarter  until  they  had 
rolled  up  an   18-point  lead. 

The  Tigers  came  back  in  the  second 
quarter  to  hold  the  Dragons  scoreless, 
and  showed  considerable  offensive 
power. 

A  third  quarter  pass,  Davis  to 
Hatcher,  put  the  Dragons  in  the  lead 
24  to  0. 

The  Tiger  regulars  began  leaving 
the  game  early  in  the  fourth  quarter 
and  the  Dragons  took  advantage  of 
the  breaks  to  score  three  more  touch- 
downs. 

The  Dragons  rolled  for  324  yards 
by  rushing,  and  another  86  by  pars- 
ing, to  make  a  total  of  400  yards. 
Their  average  on  punts  was  37  yards. 
The  Tigers  rambled  for  100  yards 
rushing  and  another  123  from  pass- 
ing, for  a  total  of  223  yards,  punts 
averaging    37.5   yards. 

Fumbles  again  hurt  the  Tigers,  who 
muffed  five  times  and  lost  possession 
twice. 

The  Tigers  finished  the  grid  season 
with  two  wins,  one  tie,  and  six  losses. 
Four  of  these  losses  were  by  one 
touchdown,  and  another  one  at  the 
hands   of  a   four-year   college. 


Cagers  Start 
Practice  For 
'49  Season 


Offical  basketball  practice  began 
November  19  for  this  year's  cagers, 
although  some  candidates  had  been 
working  out  in  the  evening  for  quite 
some  time. 

Only  five  lettermen  are  back  this 
season,  and  only  two  of  them  were 
starters  last  year,  Bill  Bartholomew 
and  Don  Winslow,  both  of  Arkansas 
City.  The  other  three,  Don  Bohannon, 
Cedar  Vale,  Frank  Hylton,  and  Nor- 
man Smyer,  Ark  City,  were  not  re- 
gulars, but  saw  a  lot  of  action  and 
gained    considerable    experience. 

Several  promising  out-of-town 
freshmen  players  have  reported,  be- 
sides last  year's  Bulldog  lettermen 
who  have  moved  up  to  junior  college. 
Thoce  from  out  of  town  are  Jack  Ack- 
lin  and  Jack  Sayers  from  Cushing, 
Gkla.;  Lynne  Stephenson,  who  hails 
from  Little  River,  Kansas..;  and  Eu-

Those  moving  up  from  the  high 
school  squad  are  Don  Hollenb^.ck, 
Jim  Thomas,  Allen  Chaplin,  and  Ralph 
Greer. 

Although  these  newcomers  have 
quite  a  bit  of  speed  ,they  definitely

Ith  Year 

For  the  seventeenth  consecutive 
year,  the  Mssiah  will  be  presented  in 
Arkansas  City,  December  18,  the  an- 
nual "Christmas  present"  of  the  senior 
high-  junior  college  music  depart- 
ments. 

In  1932  Charles  Hinchee  and 
Archie  San  Romani  combined  their 
efforts  and  produced  Handel's  im- 
mortal   oratorio,    "The    Messiah". 

Since  the  large  auditorium  was  not 
yet  in  existence,  the  performance  was 
given  in  the  junior  high  auditorium 
for  the  first  few  years.  The  oratorio 
was  presented  for  two  years  to  capaci- 
tate the  large  crowds  who  gathered 
to  hear  it. 

At  first  Mr.  Hinchee  sang  both  the 
tenor  solo  and  directed  the  voice  pre- 
sentation. Other  soloists  were  obtained 
later,  but  Hinchee  has  continued  to 
direct  it. 

In  the  seventeen  years  the  Messiah 
has  been  presented,  many  soloists  have 
been  local  talent,  while  a  great  many 
more  have  been  well  known  singers 
from  other  parts.  Many  have  sung  in 
the    famous    Lindsborg    "Messiah." 

Each  year  the  chorus  averages  250 
singers.  Members  of  the  junior  college 
chorus,        former  chorus        mem- 

bers, and  anyone  who  has  sung  the 
Mesiah  before  may  take  part. 

"The  Messiah",  composed  by  Geo- 
rge Frederick  Handel,  was  written 
in  fourteen  days.  It  was  first  presented 
at  Dublin  on  April  13,  1742. 

Soloists  for  the  1949  eV»>nt  are 
Mrs.  Richard  Curtis,  soprano;  Mrs. 
Norman  Iverson,  contralto;  James 
Fleming,  tenor;  and  Orcenith  Smith, 
bass.

Christmas  vacation  is  approaching 
quickly,  much  more  sa  than  some  of 
us  realize.  Many  of.  us  are  right  in 
the  midst  of  our  Christmas  shopping, 
and  perhaps  a  few  are  smart  enoungh 
to  have  it  all  done. 

Most  of  us  students  are  planning 
a  quite  vacation  at  home  as  a  sort  of 
"breather"  in  the  middle  of  the  school 
year.  But  Christmas  should  really 
mean  more  to  us  than  just  a  time 
for  celebration.  We  should  remember 
the  true  spirit  of  Christmas  by  trying 
to  spread  cheer  to  all  we  meet.  Re- 
member ,there  are  many  people  in 
the  world  who  arn't  able  to  celebrate 
the  Christmas  season  as  we  do.  So 
by  spreading  cheer  and  perhaps  or- 
ganizing a  caroling  group  for  Christ- 
mas Eve,  we  young  people  can  show 
that  the  Christmas  season  really 
means  something  to  us. — P.  L.

Miss   Co-Ed 


Miss  Co-Ed  of  this  issue  likes  to 
eat,  sleep,  and  breathe,  as  well  as 
numerous  other  things.  An  avid  golf 
and  ping-pong  fan,  her  favorite  sport, 
however,  is  roller  skating.  Her  ambi- 
tion in  life  is  to  be  a  journalist.  As 
a  reporter  on  Tiger  Tales,  she  is  on 
her  way.  Her  favorite  color  is  blue, 
which  incidentally  goes  well  with  her 
reddish-brown  hair.  She  comes  from 
Milton,  Kansas,  which  lies  70  miles 
north-west  of  there.  You  may  find  her 
at  305  No.  Fifth,  where  she  is  stay- 
ing with  several  other  girls  from  Mil- 
ton. Her  name:   Neva  Thornbr.o.

Two      jucos      were      discussing      a 
teacher: 

1st:  "He  sure  does  growl  a  lot." 
2nd:  "Don't  worry,  he's  vaccinated." 


During  the  discussion  on  "only 
children"  in  J.  K.  D»y's  psychology 
class,  Jack  Hennington  was  heard  to 
say:  "I  was  an  only  child  for  eleven 
years.  It  took  my  mother  that  long 
to  forget  how  ornery  I  was." 

Paul  Johnson  to  some  of  his  pupils 
who  talk  to  each  other  and  look  at 
magazines  rather  than  listen  to  his 
lectures:  "I  don't  mind  you  sleeping 
in  my  class,  but  please  don't  talk  so 
much  in  your  sleep." 

Wonder  why  so  many  girls  were 
wandering  down  the  halls  with  that 
dreamy  look  in  their  eyes  after  they 
had  heard  the  talk  by  Stanley  Meinen, 
the  exchange  worker  from  Switzer- 
land ?  Do  you  suppose  they  were 
thinking   about    Switzerland  ?

Jucos  Have 
Varied  Views 


Dr.  R.  A.  Schwegler,  consulting 
psychologist  employed  by  the  board 
of  education  and  former  KU  dean, 
talked  to  the  junior  college  student 
body  and  also  held  private  conferences 
with  those  students  desiring  personal 
consultaion,  during  the  week  of  No- 
vember 28. 

Reactions  of  students  were  varied. 
A  few  openly  disagreed  with  Schweg- 
ler's  ideas  and  viewpoints,  when  asked 
their  opinion. 

They  pointed  out  that  Schwegler's 
views,  while  useful,  were  only  common 
reasoning. 

A  large  number,  composed  of  those 
who  attended  junior  college  or  Ar- 
kansas   City    high    school    last    year, 

Quotes  From  Dr.  Schwegler 

Teachers:  "Focal  center  of  further 
frustrations." 

Human-Being:  "Masterpiece  of  cre- 
ative process." 

"Each  individual  has  oyer  fifteen 
billion  nerve  cells.  Very  few  individ- 
uals use  more  than  25  per  cent  of 
their   potential   brain    power." 

said  they  thought  that  repeated  visits 
were  useless,  since  nothing  new  was 
added  to  his  speech  from  year  to  year. 

A  great  many  more,  however,  were 
of  the  opinion  that  the  things  Schweg- 
ler said  were  important  enough  to  be 
repeated  over  and  over.  The  majority 
of  students  seemed  quite  enthused 
over  his  talks. 

"Such  things  are  of  everlasting  im- 
portance, -and  I  feel  that  they  can- 
not be  said  too  often",  said  one  ACJC 
student. 

Dr.  Schwegler  will  return  to  Ar- 
kansas City  schools  during  the  week 
of  February  6.  He  will  spend  one  day 
with  junior  college,  completing  pri- 
vate conferences.

Band  Receives  Uniforms 
After  10- Year  Campaign 

Band  members  were  in  their  new 
uniforms  for  the  first  time  at  the  home 
game  with  the  Hutch  Blue  Dragons. 
The  members  had  been  expecting  to 
get  their  new  uniforms  in  time  for  a 
football  game,  but  they  were  disap- 
pointed. 

The  uniform  consists  of  black 
trousers  with  orange  stripes  and  the 
white  sweater  with  the  script  "Tigers" 
on  the  back  and  a  tiger  emblem  on  the 
front. 

The  apperance  climaxed  a  10-year 
campaign  to  dress  the  Bengal  mus- 
icians in  appropriate  uniforms. 


Juco  Telephone 
Gals  Like 
Their  Positions 

Notice  a  familiar  voice  when  the 
operator  says  "Number  please?"  You 
probably  hear  the  sweet  voice  of  one 
the  four  juco  gals,  Elaine  Probst,  Don- 
na Livingston,  Mary  Paine,  or  Carol 
Crews,  who  are  working  as  part-time 
operators. 

The  work  has  its  good  and  bad 
points  .  Although  they  all  agree  the 
work  is  easy,  they  bemoan  the  fact 
that  they  become  big  in  the  wrong 
places.  They  average  $65  every  two 
weeks  in  pay.  Working  a  40  hour  week 
plus,  and  going  to  the  juco  too,  calls 
for  considerable  management  on  thier 
part  in  order  to  have  any  studying 
time.  Among  the  other  tribulations  of 
the  job  are  the  following  types  of 
phone  users: 

The  musically  inclined,  who  burst 
into  jolous  song  the  minute  they  pick 
up  the  receiver. 

The  type  who.  forgetting  the  num- 
ber, say  "just  a  minute  operator" — but 
take  at  least  3  minutes  to  look  up  the 
number. 

Patrons  who,  when  the  operator  is 
about  to  say  "number  please",  change 
their  minds,  dropping  the  telephone 
on  the  receiver  with  a  resulting;  boom- 
ing click  in  the  operator's  ear.  (They 
are  loved  dearly) 

Proud  parents  who  have  their 
small  offspring  give  the  number,  inter- 
pretation requiring  great  imagination. 

Patrons  believing  the  operator  so 
far  away  that  they  have  to  shout  and 
conveniently  make  it  possible  for  all 


18  Jucos 
Donate  To 
Bloodmobile 

Juco  blood  donors  are  fewer  this 
year  than  last.  Out  of  103  total  for 
the  city  only  18  were  students  gave 
their  blood  o  help  save  a  life. 

As  a  whole  there  was  a  larger  turn- 
out this  year  than  last  year,  but  not 
from  the  college,  Kenneth  Stanley, 
student  chairman  reported  after 
checking  the  records  for  the  Red 
Cross  Bloodmobile  activities  of 
December  1. 

The  operation  was  classed  as  suc- 
cessful however,  according  to  Stan- 
ley.

On  a  recent  faculty  hunting  trip, 
Charles  Hinchee  was  asked  about  his

the  other  operators  to  hear  the  number 
too. 

Not  to  be  left  out  is  the  small  boy 
who  is  dying,  "pumped  full  of  lead", 
desperately  in  need  of  a  "doc".  The 
answer  usually  is  "That's  too  bad." 
Less  cruelly  received  recently  was  a 
little  girl  who  wanted  to  talk  to  San- 
ta Claus.  The  lines  were  busy. 

Operators  have  their  favorite  "ca- 
ses",one  of  whom  is  an  elderly  lady 
who  not  long  ago  made  a  long  dis- 
tance call.  Following  the  call  she 
called  the  operator  and  asked  if  her 
call  was  ready.  When  ste  was  told 
she  had  already  completed  the  call 
she  gasped:  "Oh,  I  did?"  What  did 
I  say?" 


Activities  Vary  As  Students 
Plan  For  Christmas  Vacation 


When  a  few  of  the  juco  students 
were  asked  what  their  plans  were  for 
the  Christmas  vacation,  various  an- 
swers were  given.  Some  plan  to  work, 
some  plan  to  go  home  and  others  plan 
to  spend  a  "quiet"  week  at  home. 

Among  those  who  plan  to  work  are 
Glenn  Brittingham,  Elaine  Probst, 
Bob  Darrough,  Kenneth  Stanley.  Hel- 
en Scammehorn  expects  to  rush  home 
to  Milton  for  the  Christmas  week-end 
and  then  back  to  Ark  City  to  her  job. 

Bonita  Floyd,  Joan  Floyd  and  Neva 
Thornbro  plan  to  spend  a  very  rest- 
ful vacation  at  Milton.  Lynne  Step- 
henhenson  is  goinng  home  to  Little 
River,   Phyllis    Fox   to    Douglass,   and 


Francis  Fox  to  Winfield. 

"Home-bodies"  for  the  holidays  will 
include  Jo  Ann  Thomas,  Caroline  Hin- 
sey,  Jane  DeVore,  Helen  Ramsey, 
Richard  Marnix,  and  most  other  stu- 
dents. 

Those  who  intend  leaving  Arkansas 
City  for  other  parts  include  Mary 
Lawhon,  James  Talcon,  and  Jim  Cox. 

Priscilla  Laughlin  and  Don  Pringle 
are  among  those  who  plan  to  spend 
part  of  their  vacation  studying. 

Barbara  Ramsey  is  undecided  about 
her  vacation  plans.  Mildred  Marrs  is 
going  to  work  on  the  4-H  banquet. 
Bill  Patterson  will  "eat  a  lot  and  get 
fat,"  and  Bob  is  "going  to  have  one 
big   time."

Cop  First 


Playing  the  first  western  division 
league  game,  the  Ark  City  Tigers 
went  down  51-47,  before  the  tall  Hutch 
Dragons,  December  9,  on  the  home 
court. 

The  Bengals  lost  the  ball  the  first 
four  times  they  had  it  in  their  hands, 
and  were  on  the  short  side  of  a  30- 
20  score  at  half  time. 

Both  teams  pratically  matched  each 
other  point  for  point  until  only  eight 
minutes  remained  in  the  game,  when 
aided  by  good  rebounding  by  the  en- 
tire team,  Chaplin  and  Sayers  started 
dumping  them  in  for  the  Tigers.  With 
less  than  two  minutes  to  go,  the  Arks 
rolled  up  to  within  three  points  of 
the   Hutch   quintet. 

The  Tigers  looked  doomed  as  the 
Dragons  poured  six  points  through 
the  hoop,  but  the  gallent  Bengals, 
fighting  to  the  last  second,  pulled  up 
within  four  points  of  the  Dragons  as 
the  game  ended. 

The  Tigers  lost  much  of  their  scor-

Speermen  Rally- 
To  Win 
Thriller  37-36 

Coming  out  of  a  first  half  slump, 
the  Ark  City  Bengals  came  from  be- 
hind to  win  a  thrilling  37-36  ball  game 
from  the  Independence  Pirates  Dec. 
6,  at  Independence. 

Being  held  21-14  during  the  first 
half  slump,  Chaplin  hit  a  lay-up  shot 
to  start  the  Tiger  rally.  Johnson  hit 
for  three  points,  followed  by  six 
straight  points  through  the  hoop  by 
Chaplin,  to  put  the  Tigers  within  two 
points  of  the  Pirates. 

Both  teams  began  playing  control 
ball,  and  the  lead  see-sawed  back  and 
forth  for  the  rest  of  the  game. 

The  Bengals  lead  by  one  point  with 
only  60  seconds  left  to  play.  Schap- 
lowsky  stole  the  ball  from  the  Tigers. 
and  it  looked  as  if  the  game  was 
sacked  by  the  Pirates,  until  Don  Win- 
slow  came  down  fast  to  break  up  the 
play.  The  game  ended  with  the  Tigers 
winning  their  second  game  by  the 
same    score    37-36.

TALES 


THURSDAY,    JANUARY    12,    1950     NO.  7 


Gay  decorations,  new  formals,  and 
sweet  music  were  important  parts  of 
the  annual  Christmas  dance  honoring 
junior  college  alumni,  held  December 
22,  in  the  auditorium-gymnasium. 

"Dreamer's  Holiday"  was  the 
theme,  and  music  was  furnished  by 
Herb  Jimmerson  and  his  orchestra. 
Besides  dancing,  there  were  impromp- 
tu alumni  discussion  groups  and  a 
program  for  entertainment. 

Roger  Warren,  c  '51,  was  master- 
of  ceremonies  for  the  program,  which 
consisted  of  "Dreamer's  Holiday" 
sung  by  Doug  McCall,  j.c.  '48;  a  dance 
by  Peggy  Lee  Fair;  "Rudolph  the  Red- 
nosed  Reindeer"  sung  by  Joe  Cary  c 
'51;  "I'll  Be  Seeing  You",  by  a  soph- 
omore girls  quartet  composer  of  Mar- 
jorie  Ghramn,  Norma  Jo,  Baker,  Joan 
Coulson  and  Treva  Harrison:  and  a 
"Welcome"  by  Helen  Leach,  c  '51  and 
student  council  president.  Jean  Ed- 
wards was  accompanist  for  the  musi- 
cal numbers. 

The  auditorium  was  attractively 
decorated  with  "clouds"  of  angel  hair 
extended  from  the  balcony,  and  Ru- 
dolph the  reindeer,  with  a  red  light 
bulb  for  a  nose,  was  hitched  to  a 
sliegh.  Guests  entered  by  a  path  out- 
lined by  colored  stones.  Punch  was 
served  by  senior  high  school  boys 
dressed  in  smart  waiter  uniforms,  and 
senior  high  school  girls,  supervised 
by  Miss  Anne  Hawley,  were  in  charge 
of  the  check  stand. 

Members  of  the  social  committe  who 
worked  on  the  decorations  were  Mar- 
iorie  Ghramm,  Mary  Swearingen,  Bill 
Neal,  Warren  Ison,  and  Helen  Scam- 
mehorn.  Miss  Henrietta  Courtright 
and  Paul  M.  Johnson  were  faculty 
advisers. 

Approximately  400  students  and 
alumni  attended  the  party,  termed  the 
most  successful  alumni  entertainment 
yet  conducted  by  the  junior  college.

French  Club 
Celebrate  12th 
Night  With  Dinner 

"Le  roi  et  la  reine  boient!"  is  only 
one  of  the  loudly  exclaimed  state- 
ments which  issued  from  the  banquet 
room  of  the  Purity  Cafe  Friday,  Jan. 
6. 

The  French  club  was  holding  its 
aniyual  Twelfth  Night  banquet  to 
celebrate  the  appearance  of  the  star 
of  Bethlehem  to  the  Thr»e  Wise  Men. 

Each  year  when  the  cake,  in  which 
a  bean  is  concealed,  is  served,  the 
person  who  gets  the  bean  is  the  ruler 
for  the  evening  and  that  person 
chooses  a  partner  for  the  evening. 
This  year  Marvin  Daniel  found  the 
bean  and  chose  Leta  Larrew  as  his 
queen. 

During  the  course  of  the  evening, 
the  king  and  queen  called  on  different 
people  to  perform.  Included  in  this 
program  were  Priscilla  Laughlin, 
singing  "The  Rosary"  in  French, 
accomparied  at  the  piano  by  Donna 
Livingston;  Julia  Woodard,  playing 
"Tumbleweed"  at  the  piano;  Kenneth 
Stanley,  reciting  "Mary  Had  A  Little 
Lamb"  in  German;  Artie  Metcalf, 
c.  '49,  reciting  a  Spanish  poem  about 
a  shephedress;  and  Miss  Pauline 
Sleeth,  telling  of  an  experience  she 
had  in  Paris.  A  trio  consisting  of 
Maellen  Bossi,  Jacqueline  Crews,  and 
Priscilla  Laughlin  also  presented  a 
short  skit  and  sang  a  French  folk 
song. 

During  the  evening  everyone  par- 
ticipated in  singing  French  songs  and 
in   exchanging    French    proverbs.

is  5'  3",  has  brown  hair  and  blue  eyes. 
Her  favorite  color  is  blue,  she  likes 
all  sports  ,and  her  hobby  is  playing 
the    piano. 

She  is  student  council  representa- 
tive for  the  TAC  and  is  assistant

position  to  take  full  charge  of  the 
concession  stands  at  football  and

Her  ambition  is  to  become  a  teacher 
in  the  elementary  grades.  This  Miss

Mr.  Ed  for  this  issue  is  5  feet,  7 
inches  tall,  is  a  freshman,  and  some 
twenty  years  ago  was  christened  Carl 
Ousley. 

After  graduating  from  ACJC,  Carl 
plans  to  go  on  to  a  four-year  college 
in  St.  Louis  where  he  will  study  to 
be   a   mortician. 

Carl  states  that  dancing  and  mov- 
ing pictures  rate  as  his  favorite  met- 
hods of  spending  his  leisure  time.  He 
can  also  be  found  in  the  club  rooms 
between  classes. 

Al (hough  he  is  stocky,  and  not  a 
tall  man,  Carl  is  noted  for  his  fast 
running  both  on  the  football  and 
track  fields,  where  he  plays  guard  and 
runs  the  100-yard  dash,  respectively.

Miss  Sleeth  was  displaying  her

ing, "You'll  have  to  speak  louder. 
It's  dark  in  here".

Past  Grads 
Agree  On 
Juco's  Value 

"ACJC  is  a  very  good  background 
for  a  four  year  college,"  said  Phil 
Parker,  j.c.  '49,  when  he  was  inter- 
viewed concerning  the  worthwhile- 
ness  of  our  local  junior  college. 

A  number  of  grads  were  asked  if 
they  thought  the  two  years  spent  in 
ACJC  were  worthwhile  or  wasted. 
They  were  asked  if  the  credits  gained 
here  were  honored  in  4-year  colleges, 
and  what  suggestions  they  could 
give  to  improve  our  junior  college. 

Most  of  those  interviewed  agreed 
that  ACJC  was  indeed  worth  the 
time  spent  here.  All  students  who  later 
attended  a  4-year  college  said  that 
their  credits  were  carried  over  with 
no  exceptions.  Opinion  is  that  courses 
taught  here  are  as  good  as  those 
offered  anywhere. 

Money  Saving  Important 

The  advantage  mentioned  most  was 
the  money  involved.  Junior  college 
costs  are  only  a  fraction  of  those  of 
a  large  cllege  while  many  courses  are 
identical./  Another  advantage  men- 
tioned by  one  graduate  was  being 
able  to  live  at  home  durning  these 
first  two   years   of  college. 

The  suggestion  offered  by  most  to 
improve  ACJC  was  a  new  college 
building.  It  was  generally  agreed 
that  the  facilities  here  are  too 
crowded. 

Should    Study    Harder 

Claus  Thiesen,  j.c.  '49,  said  that 
students  enrolled  in  junior  college 
should  study  harder,  since  good  grades 
are  very  important  in  larger  colleges. 

In  a  survey  of  graduates  between 
1932  and  1948,  taken  by  Tiger  Tales 
last  year,  selected  at  random  from 
such  courses  as  business,  pre-med, 
liberal  arts,  and  others,  students  made 
the  transitioin  without  any  trouble 
whatsoever,  whenever  work  was  of 
acceptable  quality  and  the  student 
continued  in  the  same  field  of  study. 

Yes,  ACJC  is  worth  the  time  and 
effort  spent  here,  according  to  past- 
grads.

Location  qf  Typing1  and 
Accounting  Rooms  Switched 

Many  typing  and  accounting  stud- 
ents may  still  be  having  trouble  get- 
ting into  the  right  room  for  class 
since  the  classes  in  the  two  rooms 
have  been  changed.  The  typing  clas- 
ses needed  a  larger  room  to  accomo- 
date the  office  machines  which  will 
be  used  in  courses  offered  n^xt  sem- 
ester. Thus,  it  was  decided  to  ex- 
change the  classes  in  the  old  typing 
room,  108  and  the  accounting  room, 
106.

Is  Presented 

The  seventeenth  annual  presenta- 
tion of  Handel's  "Messiah"  was  given 
Sunday  evening,  December  18,  in  the 
auditorium  -  gymnasium.  It  was 
directed  by  Charles  Hinchee,  vocal 
instructor  and  August  Trollman,  in- 
strumental music  instructor. 

Approximately  230  chorus  members 
from  the  senior  high  school,  junior 
college  and  city  church  choruses  par- 
ticipated in  the   event. 

Soloists  were  Mrs.  Richard  Curtis, 
soprano,  Mrs.  Norman  Iverson,  con- 
tralto, James  Fleming,  tenor,  and 
Orcenith    Smith,    baritone. 

The  orchestra  was  composed  of  64 
members  who  were  chosen  from  the 
high  school  orchestra  and  local  musi- 
cians. 

The  oratorio  is  presented  annually, 
free  to  the  public,  as  a  gift  from  the 
Arkansas  City  senior  high  school  and 
the  junior  college. 

Comments  from  local  music  critics 
termed  the  orotorio  as  being  a  highly 
commendable  program,  sighting  both 
the  work  of  the  choruses  and  the 
soloists.

Printing  Classes 
To  Observe  'Week' 
With  Open  House 

"Say  it  With  Printing — Flowers 
Fade." 

So  read  the  posters  advertising 
the  printing  department  open  house 
at  7:00  p.  m.,  Thursday,  January  19, 
1950,  in  the  print  shop  in  the  junior 
high   school  building. 

The  entire  week  of  January  15  to  21 
is  nationally  recognized  as  "Printing 
Education  Week.  It  is  the  244th  birth- 
day anniversary  of  Benjamin  Frank- 
lin, who  might  be  considered  the  "pa- 
tron saint"  of  printing. 

The  entertainment,  said  Mr.  A.  F. 
Buffo,  printing  instructor,  would  in- 
clude exhibits,  movies,  demonstra- 
tions by  printing  students,  contests, 
and  free  samples  of  printing  done 
by  the  students.  For  quite  some  time 
printing  students  have  been  designing 
blotters  and  the  contests  mentioned 
will  be  judging  the  "best"  designed 
blotter. 

This  open  house  is  sponsored  by 
the  Junior  College  and  High  School 
Educational  Printers  Guild  and  the 
Junior  High  School  Pied  Typers  Club. 
Buffo  is  the  instructor  for  all  of  these.

Tigers  To 
Meet  Four 
Opponents 

Jucos  may  look  forward  to  three 
Tiger  home  games  and  one  game  away 
in  the  immediate  future.  January  13 
loyal  jucos  will  see  the  Tigers  on  the 
home  court  go  against  the  Coffey- 
ville  Ravens,  who  have  a  one  win, 
one  loss  record  in  eastern  division 
play.  The  Tigers  will  be  making  their 
fourth  appearance  on  the  home  court 
this  season. 

Next  the  Tigers  tread  their  way  on 
January  17  at  Parsons.  Last  year  the 
Tigers  defeated  the  Parsons  Cardinals 
30  to  24.  January  20  the  Tigers  will 
be  stalking  here  the  Garden  City 
Broncs.  who  as  yet  are  undefeated  in 
western  division  play.  The  Dodge 
Conqs  will  be  the  Tigers  guests 
here  January  21. 

Last  year  at  this  date  the  Tigers 
had  a  no  loss,  five  win  record,  hand- 
ing defeats  to  St.  Johns,  Independence 
Pirates,  Coffeyville,  Parsons,  and  El 
Dorado.  The  team  also  won  second 
in  the  Chanute  invitational  tourney, 
losing  out  to  Parsons.  At  the  end  of 
the  season  last  year  the  team  had 
a  record  of  18  victories  out  of  26 
contests,  one  of  the  best  records  in 
the  school's  history.  Though  the  pre- 
sent squad's  record  is  spotty,  it  is  a 
team  to  be  feared.

Tigers  Defeat 
Cardinals  Here 

The  Ark  City  Tigers  reached  a  new 
scoring  high  for  the  season  when 
they  defeated  the  Parson's  Cardinals 
50-42,  at  the  Auditorium-Gym,  Wed- 
nesday,  Dec.   14. 

The  Tigers  were  rather  slow  at 
the  start,  but  as  the  score  began  to 
weigh  heavy  on  the  Cardinals'  side 
the  Tigers'  scoring  duo,  Bartholo- 
mew and  Chaplin,  found  the  basket 
and  began  to  fill  it.  At  the  half  the 
Tigers  had  tied  the  Cardinals  at  25- 
all. 

In  the  second  half  the  Tigers  be- 
gan to  take  the  lead  and  managed  to 
stay  well  out  in  front  for  the  rest 
of  the  game.  For  the  last  three 
minutes  of  the  game  the  Arks  man- 
aged to  keep  the  ball  in  their  own 
possession  though  they  did  not  score 
during  that  time. 

Francis  Norris  was  in  on  most  of 
the  rebounds  for  the  Cardinals.  Leo 
Parlett  was  hot  in  the  first  half  of 
the  game  for  Parsons,  hitting  three 
shots  in  a  row.  Bartholomew  and 
Chaplin  led  the  scoring  with  17  points 
each. 


Thomas  Wins  Over  Probst 
In  Ping  Pong  Finals 

"Red"  Thomas  blasted  his  way  past 
Elaine  Probst,  21-15,  21-15,  to  win  the 
final  match  of  the  first  semester  ping 
pong  singles  tournament. 

Onlookers  credit  the  win  to  an  am- 
azingly fast  back  hand,  and  a  fast 
serve. 

Thomas  won  the  tournament  from  a 
field  of  23,  and  at  no  time  showed  any 
signs  of  stiff  competition. 

The  winner  of  the  second  semester 
tournament  will  meet  Thomas  in  a 
play-off  for  the  ping  pong  champion- 
ship of  the  year. 

The  doubles  tournament  is  scheduled 
to  be  under  way  the  first  week  of  the 
new  semester.  All  contestants  are 
urged  to  register  with  Bill  Patterson 
as   soon   as   possible   .

Tigers  Win 
One  of  Three 
At  Parsons 

The  Iola  Junior  College  Red  Devils 
defeated  the  Arkansas  City  Junior 
College  Tigers  46  to  33,  Dec.  19  in 
a  first  round  playoff  of  the  Parsons 
tournament. 

The  Red  Devils  led  22  to  16  at  the 
half,  but  the  Tigers  tied  the  score 
in  about  six  minutes  of  the  second 
half.  Iola  was  not  to  be  stopped  and 
pulled  awav  to  win  the  game,  46  to 
33. 

Trout  of  Iola  was  high  point  man, 
gathering  19  points.  Hylton  and 
Chaplin  hit  for  eight  points  each  for 
the  Arks. 

Defeating  the  Ft.  Scott  Junior  Col- 
lege 56  to  36,  the  Arks  entered  the 
consolation   finals  of  the  tournament. 

The  Tigers  held  Ft.  Scott  scoreless 
in  the  second  half  for  fifteen  minutes, 
after  leading  at  half  time  30  to  20. 

Big  Bill  Bartholomew  paced  the 
Tigers,  hitting  for  17  points,  and 
Chaplin  followed  closely  with   14. 

The  Tigers  then  were  blasted  from 
the  consolation  finals  42  to  29  by  the 
El   Dorado    Grizzlies. 

The  Grizzlies  held  the  Tigers  score- 
less for  the  first  eight  minutes  of  play 
but  the  Bengals  soon  caught  them 
and  for  the  next  30  minutes  it  was 
anybody's  game.  Six  quick  points  by 
El  Dorado  put  them  out  in  front  to 
stay.  Stalling,  the  Grizzlies  forced  the 
Tigers  to  come  out  after  the  ball, 
and  capitalized  on  five  free  throws 
and  possession. 

The  Arks  had  an  extremely  cold 
night  from  the  field,  with  both  long 
shots  and  free  throws  falling  a  foot 
short  of  the  hoop. 

Allen  Chaplin,  Ark  guard,  was 
named  to  the  all-torney  team. 


Bengals  Lose 
Two  Tilts  on 
Western  Trip 

The  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
Tigers  were  defeated  68  to  55  by  the 
Dodge  City  Conqs,  in  a  high  scor- 
ing game  Friday  at  Dodge,  and  lost 
61  to  49  Saturday  night  in  a  two 
game   invasion    of   Western    Kansas. 

The  Bengals,  after  a  first  half 
slump,  came  back  strong  and  were 
hardly  more  than  five  points  behind 
until  the  last  two  minutes.  The  Tigers 
were  forced  to  come  out  after  the  ball, 
and  the  Conqs  capitalizing  on  free 
throws  and  the  ball  out  of  bounds, 
pulled  away  to  win  the  game  68-55. 

Bartholomew  was  high  for  the 
Arks,  hitting  for  16  points.  Evans 
paced  the  Conqs  by  pouring  31  points 
through  the  hoop. 

Swinging  westward  to  complete 
their  sweep  through  western  Kansas, 
the  Tigers  dropped  a  free  scoring 
game  to  the  Garden  City  Broncos,  61 
to  46. 

Garden  jumped  to  an  early  7-0  lead 
and  was  never  threatened  the  rest  of 
the  game.  The  Tigers  seemed  to  be 
baffled  by  a  switching  zone  and  man 
to  man  defense  thrown  up  against 
them  by  the  Broncs,  and  gathered 
most  of  their  points  from  their  own 
rebounds.

High  Hopes 
For  New 
Juco  by  551 

Will  the  ancient  dream  of  a  new 
junior  college  soon  come  into  reality  ? 
New  hope  was  given  by  a  recent  an- 
nouncement by  Dr.  Jerry  Vinyard  to 
the  affect  that  it  was  hoped  a  contract 
for  the  building  could  be  let  in  July 
or  June.  While  present  jucos  will  not 
be  attending  college  in  the  new  build- 
ing, they  will  nevertheless  be  inter- 
ested in  the  completion  of  the  project 
so  that  those  following  them  to  the 
foutain  of  knowledge  may  drink  in 
more  efficient  and  attractive  surround- 
ings. 

A  number  of  steps  must  be  com- 
pleted before  the  contract  may  be  let, 
however.  Due  to  a  recent  state  law, 
architects  must  be  changed.  The  state 
architect  did  not  license  Mr.  W. 
Schmidt.  Dr.  Vineyard  disclosed  that 
5  licensed  Kansas  architects  have  ap- 
plied for  the  job  so  far. 

Schmidt's  basic  plans  will  not  be 
discarded  but  extensive  detailed  work 
is  still  to  be  done  on  them,  such  as 
determining  the  type  and  location  of 
fixtures,  and  interior  design  of  the 
various  rooms.  In  connection  with 
this  many  juco  teachers  are  going  by 
bus  Saturaday  to  El  Dorado  to  in- 
spect the  junior  college  there,  con- 
structed in  1940.  Each  juco  teacher 
has  been  asked  to  present  a  plan  for 
the  ideal  classroom  for  the  subject 
he  or  she  teaches.  Countless  books 
and  magazines  have  been  consulted 
by  Dean  K.  R.  Galle  and  Dr.  Vine- 
yard to  sucure  the  most  modern  and 
efficient  in   the  college. 

Dr.  Vineyard  stressed  the  advisa- 
bility of  waiting  until  the  hospital 
has  been  fairly  well  completed,  before 
starting  on  the  new  juco  building. 
One  reason  is  to  prevent  an  excess 
influx  of  yorkers  into  the  city.  Also 
some  have  expressed  doubt  that  the 
$350,000  bond  issue  is  sufficient  to 
build  what  the  plans  call  for. 

The  proposed  building  is  esti- 
mated to  have  a  capacity  of  more 
than  400  students. 


Coming  Assembly  to  be 
Student  Presentation 

A  junior  college  assembly  is  sched- 
ualed  for  February  1.  Mr.  Allen 
Maag  is  in  charge.  Don  Bahanon  is 
chairman.  There  will  be  five  speakers, 
to  be  chosen  from  Maag's  speech 
class.  The  students  will  deliver  their 
orations  as  they  presented  them  in 
class. 

It  is  planned  to  have  some  musical 
numbers    between   the    speeches.

Printshop  Open 
House  Draws 
Large  Crowd 

Thursday  evening,  January  19,  the 
printing  classes  held  an  open  house 
in  the  print  shop  of  the  junior  high 
school  building.  An  estimated  cixnvd 
of   between    175    and    200    attended. 

One  of  the  highlights  of  the  even- 
ing was  demonstrations  by  printing- 
students.  They  included  Bud  Childers, 
Fred  Menefee,  Cecil  Hawkins,  Jim 
Hall,  Richard  Cox,  Raymond  Cockrum, 
Kenneth  Wells,  Wayne  Hayes,  Eric 
Lrampton,  Duane  Palmer,  and  the 
junior   high   Pied   Typers    Club. 

Wayne  Davis  was  declared  winner 
of  a  blotter  design  contest.  Kenneth 
Wells  was  second  and  Richard  Akers 
third. 

Printing  samples,  book  marks,  and 
blotters,  all  made  by  the  printing 
students,    were   given   to   the   guests. 

A  movie  was  scheduled,  but  had  to 
be  canceled  because  the  film  did  not 
arrive. 

Refreshments  of  cookies  were  also 
served. 

The  Open  House  was  under  the 
sponsorship  of  the  junior  college  and 
high  school  Printers  Guild.  It  was 
held  in  connection  with  Printing  week. 
Anton  Buffo  is  the  printing  instructor. 

A  radio  program  was  presented  at 
4:30  Wednesday  evening  by  members 
of  the  high  school  and  junior  college 
printing    classes. 


Fewer  Cuts 
Under  New 
System 

It  seems  the  students  in  ACJC, 
according  to  reports,  have  advanced 
along  with  our  civilized  world,  at 
least  in  regard  to  class  attendance. 

Could  it  be  that  students  have  be- 
come angels  ?  Or  has  the  new  attend- 
ance rule  anything  to  do  with  the 
good    attendance   this   semester. 

In  the  previous  years,  students  were 
issued  permits  from  the  office,  and 
were  not  penalized  for  a  limited  num- 
ber of  unexcused  absences,  correspon- 
ding to  the  number  of  hours  carried 
in  that  subject.  Now  all  excuses  are 
allowed  by  individual  teachers  and  no 
unexcused    absences   allowed. 

The  following  is  a  comparison  of 
absences  during  the  first  semesters  in 

1947,  1948  and  the  first  nine  weeks  of 
1949. 

In  1947  there  were  36  out  of  233 
not  absent  during  the  first  nine  weeks, 
compared  to  39  out  of  210  in  1948, 
and   67   out  of  216   in   1949. 

Ninety-five  students  in  1949  had 
"good"  attendance  records,  while  in 
1948  there  were  79,  and  only  70  in 
1947. 

The  average  clock  hours  missed  per 
student  in  1947  was  5.73,  5.32  in  1948, 
and  3.42  in  1949  . 

Thirty-seven  "problem  cases"  con- 
fronted the  dean  during  the  first  nine 
weeks    in    1947,    compared    to    21    in 

1948,  and   10  in   1949. 

A  "wait  and  see"  attitude  is  taken 

by  most  faculty  members,  concerning 

~the  new  attendance  rule.  It  is  subject 

to  change  and  of  experimental  nature, 

they  have  indicated.

Booklet    Available 
For  Facts  About 
Travel  Abroad 

Many  students  have  been  reading 
about  student  trips  to  England  and 
Europe  during  the  summer  months. 
Some  students  have  been  wanting  in- 
formation on  how  they  can  make  such 
trips. 

Some  information  about  these  trips 
comes  from  a  release  of  the  U.  S. 
National  Student  Association  made 
by  Craig  Wilson,  Director  of  Publi- 
cations. 

"Work  Study  Travel  Abroad  1950" 
has  been  put  on  sale  by  the  publica- 
tions bureau,  U.  S.  National  Student 
Association,  304  N.  Park,  Madison, 
Wis. 

The  10,000-word  booklet,  which 
follows  similar  booklets  for  1948  and 
1949,  gives  agencies  to  contact  for 
traveling  during  the  summer  months, 
outlines  their  programs  and  provides 
general  year-round  facts  on  going 
abroad. 

The  booklet  is  being  sold  to  stu- 
dents at  NSA-member  schools  for  25 
cents  a  copy.  All  others  pay  50  cents 
a  copy.  Students  governments  and 
campus  NSA  committees  may  order 
copies  in  bulk  at  greater  price  reduc- 
tions. 

The  booklet  outlines  NSA's  pro- 
grams abroad  as  well  as  those  of  more 
than  100  other  groups  that  cater  to 
student    travelers. 

Since  Arkansas  City  Junior  College 
is  not  now  a  member  of  the  NSA, 
students  here  must  pay  50  cents  for 
their  copy  of  "Work  Studv  Travel 
Abroad   1950".

One  nosey  reporter  heard  that  Don 
Bohanon  was  critically  injured  dur- 
ing a  scramble  for  a  nickel  which 
he  dropped  behind  a  pile  of  chairs 
while  trying  to  buy  a  bottle  of  pop 
from  the  clubroom.  This  rumor  later 
proved  false.  His  pride  was  all  that 
was  wounded. 

It  was  noticed  that  Mr.  Maag  had 
moved  his  seat  at  basketball  games 
to  the  reserved  section.  Perhaps  it 
was  to  escape  pop  bottles  and  other 
falling  debris  which  chance  to  hit  on 
the   head. 


Some  time  ago,  Bob  Darrough  was 
seen  walking  down  the  hall  carrying 
a  milk  pail.  When  asked  the  purpose 
of  the  bucket,  he  repiled,  "Well,  Miss 
Kuntz  told  me  to  draw  a  cow." 

It  seems  that  Gene  Kelley,  is  get- 
ting off  to  fine  start,  this  second  sem-

the  explanation  that  he  just  couldn't

Students  Choose  Vocations 


What  will  your  fellow  students  all 
be  doing  in  the  bright  new  world 
ahead?  Who  will  be  another  Einstein, 
who  another  Betty  Grable,  who  an- 
other Artie  Shaw,  who  a  madame  am- 
bassador ,who  a  republican  president? 
Gather  close  and  gaze  into  the  crys- 
tal ball  ,as  represented  by  vocational 
choices  listed  on  college  enrollment 
cards. 

We  see  first  a  plurality  of  juco 
members  with  intelligent  looks  on 
their  faces  teaching  a  group  of 
students.  Among  them  (the  teachers) 
will  be  Mary  Swearingen,  lone  Sher- 
wood, Zella  Rutter.  Don  Lyle,  Avis 
Mclrvin,  Mildred  Marrs,  Joy  Mason, 
Mary  E.  Paine,  Helen  Ramsey,  Don 
G.  Lewis,  Helen  Leach,  Leighton 
Chaplin,  Carole  Crews,  Margaret 
Dore,  Phyllis  Fox,  Bill  Gemar.  Mar- 
jorie  Ghramm,  James  Halcomb,  Ruth 
Harvey,  Belva  Tipton.  John  Snell, 
Bonitas  Floyd,  Priscilla  Laughlin

To  coach  the  future  champion 
teams  may  be  coaches  Charles  Mar- 
tin, Jack  Shuchman,  Jack  Henning- 
ton,  Jim  Johnson,  and  Don  Bohannon. 

Business  is  the  second  largest  voca- 
tional preference  of  jucos.  To  help 
these  future  business  people  will  be 
secretaries  Helen  Lewis,  Sallie  Will- 
iams, Betty  Webb,  Geo  Towles, 
Joyce    Burkhart,    and    Leona    Newton. 

To  see  we  all  eat  properly  will  be 
the  home  economists  Joan  Coulson, 
Jeanine  Woamcks,  Donna  Livingston, 
Helen  Scammerhorn,  Ardelia  Reser, 
and    Ellen    Brown. 

Ranking    third     in    the    minds    and 


hearts  of  jucos  is  engineering.  We 
see  such  stalwart  engineering  minds 
as  Don  Lanigor,  Jack  Hollembeak, 
Bill  Himes,  Don  Gribble,  Charles 
Burton,  Louis  Claypool,  Kyle  Craw- 
ford, Lauren  White,  Norma  Smyer, 
Bob  Smith,  Clarence  White,  Rex  Shif-

Charles  Carson.  To  fill  prescriptions 
of  patients  of  these  doctors  will  be 
pharmicists  Duane  Johnson,  Jean 
Edwards,  Walt  Rickel  and  Eugene 
Ward. 

Special  Plaudits  should  go  to  two 
jucos  who  plan  to  be  ministers.  They 
are  Bob  Darrough  and  Jim  Cox. 

To  help  us  keep  our  facts  and 
figures  straight  will  be  accountants 
Charles  Livengood,  Louis  Long,  Jim 
Thomas,    and   Joe    Cary. 

One  person  with  whom  we  cannot 
do  without  is  the  farmer.  Future  far- 
mers amongst  us  are  Eugene  Kelley, 
Jim  Bossi,  Marvin  Daniel,  Bill  Pat- 
terson, Eugene  Sawyer,  David  Wal- 
ker, Charles  Goforth,  and  Melvin  Cur- 
rent. 

To  provide  us  with  music  will  be 
Jo  Ann  Thomas  and  Darlene  Conser; 
with  art,  Paul  Gilmore  and  Norma 
Boyle. 

In  case  we  should  all  get  in  jail 
lawyers  Fred  Longshore  and  John 
Kinsella  will  be  there  to  get  us  out. 
When  we  get  out,  dry  cleaner  Joe 
Hearne  will  be  all  set  to  press  our 
clothes.

New  Book 
Is  Added 
To  Library 

A  new  book  has  been  added  to  the 
junior  college  and  senior  high  school 
library.  It  is  "My  Three  Years  in 
Moscow."  Its  author  is  Walter  Bedell 
Smith,  who  is  former  United  States 
Ambassador  to  Russia. 

This  is  the  first  full-length  ac- 
counting to  the  American  people  by 
an  American  Ambassador  to  Moscow 
since  before  the  war.  It  covers  three 
crucial  years  of  the  cold  war  and 
Smith's  blunt  and  straight-forward 
account  of  what  he  saw  and  did  and 
thought  in  the  world  capital  of 
Communism,  constitutes  a  first-hand, 
top-level  report  of  the  United  States 
rerations  with  the  Russians  during 
a   period   of   deepening   crisis. 

General  Smith  was  in  Russia  as 
our  Ambassador  from  March,  1946, 
to  March,  1949.  He  was  sent  there 
because  the  qualities  of  intelligence, 
realism,  and  force  which  led  General 
Eisenhower  to  call  him  "the  general 
manager  of  the  war"  were  also  those 
which  were  deemed  necessary  in  the 
man  who  would  represent  us  in  our 
dealings  with  the  Soviet  leaders. 

"My  Three  Years  in  Moscow"  is 
a  good  deal  more  than  an  account  of 
diplomatic  negotiations.  Smith  under- 
took to  study  the  whole  framework 
of  Soviet  life — the  people,  their  lead- 
ers and  their  institutions.  In  this 
study  he  had  the  help  of  a  large  and 
well  informed  staff  and.  in  addition, 
he  has  had  the  advantage  of  closer 
personal  contact  with  Marshall  Stalin 
than  any  other  Westerner. 

Here  is  a  partial  list  of  the  topics 
discussed: 

Stalin  A  first-hand  portrait  of  the 
dictator. 

Politburo  Acute  thumbnail  sketches 
of  the  men   who  run    Russia. 

Religion  in  Russia  An  eyewitness 
account  of  the  failure  to  surpress 
it. 

The  Propaganda  Machine  Thought

Students  Breath 
Sigh  of  Relief  As 
Exam  Week  Ends 

"Boy,  wasn't  that  rough?" 

"Oh,  I  thought  that  one  was  easy, 
but  you  should  have  seen  the  one  in 
zoology." 

"Did   you  get  number  12?" 

"No!  I  had  the  answer  right  on  the 
tip  of  my  tongue,  but  I  just  couldn't 
get  my  pencil  to  put  it  down  on  the 
paper." 

Such  were  the  comments  heard 
during  the  week  of  January  16  when 
semester  examinations  replaced  re- 
gular class  work.  Examinations  be- 
gan at  8:30  a.m.  Monday  and  con- 
tinued trough  the  wek  until  4:00  p.m. 
Friday.  Various  opinions,  as  to  the 
complexity  of  the  tests,  were  heard, 
but  everyone  seemed  to  be  glad  when 
the  last  one  was  over. 

Some  of  the  students  who  live  out- 
of-town  were  fortunate  enough  to 
have  examinations  scheduled  so  that 
they  were  able  to  spend  some  extra 
time  at  home.  "^ 

In  the  spare  moments  between  tak- 
ing examinations  and  studying  for 
those  to  come,  students  took  their 
stand  in  the  office  to  enroll,  change 
schedules,  or  buy  books. 

All  in  all  is  was  a  busy  week  for 
both  students  and  teachers,  and  the 
results  were  to  be  announced  on  grade 
sards  yesterday.

Tigers  Away 
For  Three 
Games 

The  Tigers  will  meet  their  next 
three  foes  away  from  home.  Only  two 
of  the  games  are  divisional.  The 
Hutchinson  Dragons  will  be  their  first 
opponents  January  27.  In  their  first 
encounter  this  year,  the  Dragons  beat 
the  home  squad  51  to  47. 

February  3,  the  Tigers  will  travel 
to  El  Dorado  where  they  will  meet  the 
El  Dorado  squad  in  a  divisional  game. 
This  will  be  the  first  encounter  be- 
tween these  teams  this  year.  Although 
the  El  Dorado  group  to  date  have  two 
wins  against  three  defeats  in  divis- 
ional play,  they  were  beaten  by  the 
Dodge  City  five,  while  Ark  City 
chalked  up  its  only  divisional  win 
against  the  Dodge  City  Conqs. 

February  7,  the  Jucos  will  be  out  to 
confirm  an  earlier  win  against  St. 
John  College.  In  their  first  clash  this

Tigers  Dump 
Cardinals  41-35 

The  Ark  City  Tigers  blasted  the 
Parsons  Cardinals  41-35,  Dec.  17,  in 
a   11011    league  game   at   Parsons. 

The  Cardinals  took  an  early  lead, 
but  the  Tigers,  aced  by  "Big  Bill  Bar- 
tholomew", soon  caught  up  and  took 
the  lead.  Play  see-sawed  back  and 
forth  untill  the  half;  which  ended  with 
Parsons    ahead    13-12. 

Winslow  connected  three  in  a  row 
to  put  the  Tigers  out  in  front,  to 
never  be  seriously  crowded  for  the 
rest  of  the  game. 

With  time  running  out,  Parsons  was 
forced  to  come  out  after  the  Bengals, 
and  succeeded  in  scoring  once  more 
before    the    final    buzzer. 

The  Tigers  experienced  a  very  cold 
night,  hitting  only  15  out  of  58  shots 
for  a  26  per  cent  average.  Parsons 
gathered  only  13  out  of  74  shots  for 
an  18  per  cent  average. 

Bartholomew  led  the  scoring  for 
the  night  hitting  for  12  points,  fol- 
lowed closely  by  Chaplin  with  10  and 
Winslow  with  9.  Conrad  was  high  for 
Parsons  with    10.

BEAT    HUTCHINSON 


Bengals  Down 
Red  Ravens 
By  6  Points 

The  Juco  squad  broke  into  the  win- 
ning column,  after  four  loses,  by 
beating  Coffeyville  38-32,  January 
13. 

Bill  Bartholomew,  Jack  Sayers,  and 
Allen  Chaplin  sparked  the  Bengal 
scoring  with  11  points,  10  points,  and 
9  points  respectively. 

Smyer  opened  the  scoring  with  a 
jump  shot  in  the  first  seconds  of  the 
game.  Coffeyville  then  came  back  to 
build  up  a  five  point  lead  with  only 
seven  minutes  of  play  gone.  Chaplin 
sank  two  goals  and  Bartholomew  sank 
one  to  put  the  Bengals  on  top  again. 

The  score  remained  close  for  the 
rest  of  the  half  with  the  lead  chang- 
ing hands  with  nearly  every  counter. 
As  the  half  ended,  the  home  squad  was 
out  in  front  19  to  18. 

The  Arks  came  back  fast  in  the 
second  half,  gaining  a  five  point  ad- 
vantage over  the  Red  Ravens.  Sayers 
then  dropped  a  pair  of  free  throws 
through  the  net  to  bring  the  lead  up 
to  seven  points.  At  this  point  it  looked 
as  if  the  Bengals  were  well  on  their 
way  to  winning  . 

Bob  Kesler,  Raven  Substitute,  then 
came  into  the  game  to  smash  the 
Ark's  lead  by  sinking  his  first  three 
field  shots.  This  added  to  two  points 
by  a  teammate,  put  his  squad  out  in 
front  by  one  point. 

With  only  13  minutes  left  in  the 
game,  the  play  became  fast  and  fur- 
ious. The  lead  changed  hands  four 
times  before  the  Bengals  pulled  out 
in    front   to   stay.

Arks  Bow  To 
Garden,  But 
Defeat  Dodge 

The  juco  Tigers  were  defeated  41- 
34  by  the  powerful  Garden  City  quin- 
tet Jan.  22,  on  the  Bengals'  Home 
Court. 

At  one  time  it  looked  as  if  the 
Bengals'  were  going  to  upset  the 
highly  rated  Garden  team,  trailing 
only  by  four  points  with  only  three 
minutes  left  in  the  game.  However, 
with  the  new  two  minute  rule  going 
into  effect,  the  Arks  were  forced  to 
come  out  after  the  ball  and  Garden 
capitilized   for   four   more    points. 

In  the  first  half  Garden  possessed 
a  nine  point  lead  before  the  Tigers 
could  muster  a  point.  Bartholomew 
broke  the  ice  and  the  Tigers  began 
to  slowly  creep  up  on  the  Garden 
quintet.  At  half  time  Garden  lead  25 
to   18. 

Rallying  in  the  last  six  minutes, 
the  Arks  pulled  up  within  four  points 
as  the  time  went  into  the  last  two 
minutes. 

Chaplin  was  high  for  the  Arks, 
gathering  nine  points,  while  Horten, 
with   ten,  was  high  for   Garden. 

Chalking  up  their  first  league  win 
with  a  53-35  rout  over  the  Dodge  City 
Conqs  Jan.  23-  the  Tigers  avenged 
their  earlier  loss. 

The  Tigers  opened  up  midway  in 
the  first  period  and  lead  the  Conqs 
16-6,  but  as  the  half  ended  the  Conqs 
had  cut  the  lead  to  five  points. 

The  game  ended  with  the  Tigers 
on    the  long   side   of  a   53-35   score. 

Big  Bill  Bartholomew  paced  the 
Aiks  with  21  points,  while  Evans 
and  Swesson  were  high  for  the  Conqs 
with    11    points    epiece.

Girls  Gym  Class 
Back  to  Exercises 

The  girls  in  Miss  Edith  Davis'  gym 
class  are  now  back  to  exercises.  Al- 
though the  exercises  are  not  stren- 
uous, they  do  help  the  girls  find  mus- 
cles they  didn't  know  they  had. 

They  had  a  slight  rest  from  exer- 
cises during  the  warm  weather  when 
the  girls  played  golf,  although  they 
did  have  to  chase  a  few  lost  balls. 
Some  were  hit  so  hard  that  they  were 
never  found.  Others,  after  quite  a 
search,    were    retrieved. 

The  girls  hope  that  the  new  sem- 
ester will  bring  more  girls  so  that  it 
might  be   possible  to   play   basketball.

Assembly  Speaker 
Tells  of  Atomic  Age 

Dr.  Luther  Gable,  Talk-of-the- 
Month  speaker,  spoke  to  the  students 
and  faculty  concerning  the  Atomic 
Age,  in  an  assembly  program  on 
January  13  . 

He  advised  students  to  study  plenty 
of  math  because  good  mathematics 
would  be  needed  in  the  new  age  which 
is  now  dawning. 

He  explained  the  construction  of 
the  atom  and  how  it  was  possible  to 
harness  its  energy.  Also,  he  told  of 
various  ways  in  which  atomic  energy 
is  already  being  used  and  how  'dif- 
ferent   length   light   waves   are   used. 

By  painting  the  faces  of  the  cheer- 
leaders with  a  colorless  fluid  and 
then  shining  a  black  light  in  their 
faces  he  demonstrated  how  it  is  poss- 
ible to  see  certain  kinds  of  things 
with  the  black  light  which  we  are  not 
able  to  see  with  ordinary  light.  He 
also  showed  how  the  color  of  cloth 
is  changed  by  black  light. 

Students  comments  indicated  that 
it  was  a  very  interesting  and  worth- 
while  program.

Enrollments 
On   Increase 

Junior  colleges  throughout  the  na- 
tion show  an  increase  in  fall  enroll- 
ment from  208,000  to  226,000  or  an 
8.6  per  cent  increase,  as  compared  to 
0.9  per  cent  for  universities,  a  re- 
cent survey  by  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Education  shows.  Total  en- 
rollment in  all  higher  educational  in- 
stitutions is  2,456,  000  as  compared 
to  2,408,000  last  year  for  an  overall 
increase  of  2  per  cent.  In  a  large  mea- 
sure this  increase  is  attributed  to  the 
decrease  in  student  drop-out,  since 
both  the  number  of  enrolled  veterans 
and  of  new  students  has  sharply  de- 
creased. 

Statistics  show  junior  colleges  to 
have  a  9.7  per  cent  increase  in  en- 
rollment of  new  or  freshmen  students 
as  compared  to  a  minus  6.2  per  cent 
for  universities.  The  two-year  col- 
leges also  outshine  their  big:  brothers 
in  veteran  enrollment,  showing  a  12.7 
per  cent  decrease  as  compared  to 
16.3  per  cent  for  universities. 

Ranking  second  to  the  jucos  are  the 
teacher  colleges  which  show  an  over- 
all average  increase  in  enrollment  of 
8.4  per  cent. 

"ACJC  compares  favorably  with  the

Malayan  Student 
Desires  Admission 
To  College  Here 

Ouek  Seng  Hin,  a  man  who  lives  in 
Malay,  recently  wrote  to  Dean  Galle 
asking  for  admittance  to  Arkansas 
City  Junior  College. 

Hin  has  been  attending  British 
schools  and  has  the  equivalent  of  a 
high  school  education  or  more.  All 
references  presented  were  good,  Galle 
stated.  He  has  won  several  essay  con- 
tests and  has  passed  the  Cambridge 
exams,  which  are  put  out  by  Britain. 
Hin  wishes  to  take  up  civil  engine- 
ering for  two  years  in  Arkansas  City 
Junior  College.  His  future  plans  were 
not  included  in  his  letter.

fever.  Cary's  first  attack  of  the  fever 
came  several  summers  ago,  when  he 
was  ill  most  of  the  summer.  It  is 
hoped  by  many  juco  students  that 
Cary's  recovery  will  be  speedy  and

studies  in  junior  college  . 


Ottomans  and  Chairs  Being 
Built  by  Upholstery  Class 


Each  student  in  Forrest  Haine's  up- 
holstery class  is  busy  building  and 
upholstering  a  "lift-top  ottoman." 
This  is  a  requared  project  and  "a  ver> 
useful  object  to  have  around  the 
house."  Haines  avers. 

Instead  of  just  being  something  to 
put  your  feet  on,  these  ottomans  also 
furnish  storage  space  for  different 
articles  around  the  house.  The  top 
half  of  these  ottomans  is  hinged  and 
can  be  lifted  up,  giving  access  to  the 
storage  space  in  the  bottom  half.  Mr. 
Haines  says  that  is  an  exceptionally 
good  place  to  store  snapshots  and 
family  pictures.  This  space  can  also 
be  used  by  the  man  of  the  house  to 
store  shoes,  slippers,  or  smoking 
equipment. 

Jack  Ward,  juco  freshman  has 
taken   on   the  job   of  building   a  plat- 


form rocking  chair.  Jack  has  the 
rocker  almost  completed  and  when 
finished,  "it  will  look  as  good  as  any 
you  could  buy  at  a  store,"  the  in- 
structor believes. 

Dick  Marnix,  college  freshman,  and 
Bill  Miller  and  Glenn  Utt,  high  school 
students,  are  developiing  what  they 
call  a  "pull-up  chair."  This  chair  was 
designed  and  is  now  being  built  by 
these  boys.  All  the  newest  types  of 
material  are  going  into  the  building 
of  the  chair,  including  no-sag  springs 
and  foam  cushion  upholstering:.  The 
chair  goes,  together  in  sections,  the 
back,  seat,  and  legs  all  being  con- 
structed as  separate  units.  Then  each 
unit  is  fastened  to  the  other.  If  their 
plans  work  out,  several  of  these  chairs 
may  be.  built  and  placed  in  the  club 
rooms.

New  Switch-Boxes 
End  College  -  HS 
Blackouts 

The  junior  college-senior  high  build- 
ing has  l-ecently  had  a  ijiew  electric 
switch-box  system  installed.  Three 
main  boxes,  or  "bus  ways",  were  in- 
stalled on  the  ground  floor  of  the 
industrail  room  behind  the  junior 
college  labratory.  One  box  each  for 
the  junior  college,  senior  high  and 
junior  high.  These  "bus  ways"  take 
the  electricty  as  it  comes  into  the 
building  and  sends  it  to  the  different 
circuts  that  are  connected  to  it. 

Last  year  when  it  was  cloudy  and

Dragons  Trample 
Tigers,  68-45 

The  Ark  City  Tigers  lost  to  the 
Hutch  Blue  Dragons,  January  27,  at 
the  Convention  Hall  in  Hutchinson. 
The  Dragons,  by  a  score  of  68  to  45, 
defeated  the  Tigers  worse  than  they 
did  when  the  Bengals  met  them  on 
their  home  court. 

Williams,  Smyth,  and  Essau  were 
high  for  the  Dragons  with  13,  12,  and 
11  points  respectively.  For  Ark  City 
Bartholemew  and  Chaplin  were  high 
with  12  and  11  points. 

Bengals  Beat 
St.  John's 
40  to  37 

The  Tigeis  confirmed  an  early- 
season  win  by  defeating  the  St.  John's 
Eagles  40-37  Tuesday  night  at  Win- 
field. 

Johnson  started  the  scoring  for  the 
Bengals  by  sinking  a  fast  set-up 
tossed  to  him  by  Chaplin.  The  Eagles, 
with  one  point,  then  came  back  to  sink 
another  charity  shot  to  tie  the  score 
Johnson  then  sank  two  more  field 
goals  to  make  the  score  6-2.  The  St. 
John  group  held  the  Arks  scoreless 
while  they  were  chalking;  up  eight 
points  to  make  the  score  10-6  in  their 
favor.  The  Bengals  slowly  closed  the 
four-point  gap  and  the  half  ended  in 
a  14-14  tie. 

The  Tigers  opened  the  second  half 
fast  by  sinking  seven  points,  Smyer 
two,  Chaplin  four,  and  Bohannon  a 
charity.  This  made  the  score  21-14. 
The  Bengals  held  the  lead  ten  minutes 
before  the  St.  John  team  fought  their 
way  into  the  lead. 

The  play  was  fast  and  hard-fought 
from  here  on,  with  the  lead  changing 
handswith  almost  every  tally. 

The  Tigers  took  over  the  lead  with 
only  five  minutes  of  play  left,  only 
to  have  it  tied  again  with  two  minutes 
left.  With  the  score  37-37,  Bohannon 
then  tallied  with  two  points.  A  free 
throw  by  Smyer  cinched  the  lead,  and 
the   game  ended,   40-37. 

Wichita  to  examine  the  circuits.  It 
was  discovered  that  some  circuits  were 
overloaded  while  others  were  under- 
loaded, causing  too  much  pull  on  some 
of  the  fuses. 

In  order  to  change  the  situation  a 
completely  new  system  had  to  be  put 
in.  K.  G.  &  E.  drew  the  plans  for  an 
equalized  electric  system  and  Hill 
Electric    got    the    bid    at    $2,300. 


ligers  lnp 
El  Dorado 
39  to  38 


The  Tigers  chalked  up  their  se- 
cond win  in  Western  Division  play  as 
Bill  Bartholomew  sank  a  free  shot  to 
give  the  Jucos  a  39-38  victory  over 
the  El  Dorado  Grizzlies  last  Friday 
night.  Bartholomew's  winning  point 
came  with  less  than  15  seconds  play- 
ing time  left. 

Johnson  and  Smyer  opened  the 
scoring  for  the  Bengals  with  a  charity 
shot  apeice.  Lininger,  of  El  Dorado, 
connected  two  points  only  to  have 
Bartholomew  break  the  tie  as  he  hit 
from  the  post.  Lininger  and  Garcia 
then  tallied  with  five  and  three  points 
respectively,  while  the  Tigers  got  only 
one  point,  a  free  shot  by  Smyer.  This 
brought  the  score  to  10  to  5,  with  the 
Grizzlies  out  in  front. 

Scoring  then  remained  about  even, 
with  the  El  Dorado  squad  maintaining 
the  advantage  until  Hylton  and  Bo- 
hannon connected  with  field  goals  to 
make  the  score  17-16.  With  only  four 
minutes  remaining  in  the  half,  El 
Dorado  called  time  out. 

Lininger  sunk  a  pivot  shot  and  Bo- 
hannon tallied  with  three  points  before 
the  buzzer  sounded  ending  the  half. 
The  score  was  tied  19-19. 

The  score  remained  clo»e,  always 
with  the  Grizzlies  holding  a  slight 
margin,  until  Bartholomew  and  Chap- 
lin connected  with  baskets  late  in  the 
game.  With  a  one  point  lead,  the 
Bengals  kept  the  ball  until  Garcia  was 
fouled.  Garcia  hit  his  free  shot  and 
with  only  one  minute  of  play  left,  the 
game  was  tied  38-38. 

The  Grizzlies  controlled  the  ball  for 
the  next  45  seconds,  then  Bartholomew 
was  fouled.  Bartholomew  flipped  the 
ball  through  the  hoop  for  the  tie 
breaking  point.  The  game  ended,  39- 
38,  with  the  ball  still  in  Ark  City's 
hands. 

Bohannon  was  highpoint  man  for 
the  Jucos  with  10  points.  Chaplin  and 
Bartholomew  followed  with  eight  and 
seven  points  repectively.

Noticed  any  gals  lately?  Every  now 
and  then  one  notices  them— A  new 
one  was  discovered  yesterday — same 
make,  some  alterations.  Blond,  blue- 
eyed,  from  her  head  to  her  foot  she 
measures  exactly  5  feet  9M>  inches. 
Her  favorite  male  jilted  her  the  other 
day  so  she  may  be  open.  Who  was  the 
guy?  Clark  Gable.  Give  this  freshman 
from  Oxford  a  wrestling  match  and 
you  make  her  very  happy.  She  is 
already  happy  with  ACJC,  however, 
especially  liking  the  friendliness  of 
the  studetnts.  What  is  her  ambition 
in  life?  To  obtain  a  teacher's  certi- 
ficate, learn  more  about  dress  design. 
When  asked  what  she  liked  she  said, 
"Hmmmmmm;  also  eating."  Perhaps 
you  wonder  what  her  name  is,  as  she 
logically  has  a  name.  It's  Marjorie 
Potucek.

coming   marriage. 

Chorus  members  were  discussing 
the  timely  subject  "Smoking"  Mr. 
Hinchee  said:  "Somehow,  I  think,  if 
the  good  Lord  wanted  people  to  smoke 
he  would  have  put  an   extra  flue  in 

our  heads."

Up  popped  Walt  Rickel  with  this 
question:  "Do  you  know  most  doctors 
who  smoke  Camels  prefer  women?" 

Later  Hinchee  suggested,  that  mem- 
bers might  be  able  to  sing  if  the  had 
two  fingers'  space  between  their  lips. 

Then  said  one  member:  "How  do 
you  expect  us  to  sing  that  way?" 

Walt  Rickel:  "You  take  the  fingers 
out."

Jack  Hughes  Is  President  of 
State  Business  Education  Club 


Jack  Hughes,  juco  sophomore,  was 
elected  president  of  the  Kansas  Bus- 
iness Education  club  at  the  second 
annual  convention  of  the  organization 
held  at  Emporia  State  Teachers  Col- 
lege, Feb.  6  and  7. 

A  nominating  committee  selected 
two  boys  and  one  girl  as  candidates 
for  president  from  the  more  than  200 
representatives  from  all  over  Kansas 
Monday  afternoon.  The  Arkansas  City 
delegates  conducted  a  vigorous  cam- 
paign for  Hughes  at  a  6:30  dinner  and 
at  a  ball  held  later  in  the  Student 
Union  building  on  the  Emporia  State 
Teachers  College  campus.  Carl  Hol- 
man  and  A.  L.  Curry,  club  sponsors, 
attest  that,  "the  Ark  City  boys  really 
went  into  their  electioneering  at  the 
dance  and  this  was  a  main  factor  in 
getting  Jack  elected." 

The  vote  for  president  was  cast 
Tuesday  morning  at  a  business  ses- 
sion. Jack's  election  was  announced  at 
the  noon  banquet,  with  the  newly- 
named  president  to  be  toastmaster. 
Jack  was  in  charge  of  a  meeting  of  the 
new  officers  to  discuss  next  year's 
convention.  The  Associated  Press  took 
a  picture  of  the  officers. 

Jack  is  to  represent  the  State  of 
Kansas  at  national  convention  of 
business    clubs     at    Ashville,    N.    C 

Jack  has  worked  under  the  Distri- 
butive Education  plan  this  year  as  a 
shoe  saleman  at  Frolich's  shoe  store. 
He  is  shown  at  work  in  the  accom- 
panying picture. 

The  Distributive  Education  club  is 
formed  of  students  who  are  taking:  th? 
distributive  education  course  offered 
in  junior  colleges  and  senior  high 
schools.  The  club  is  made  up  of  three 
groups,  "Distributive  Education", 
"Office  Practice"  and  "Trade  and  In- 
dustry". The  retail  stores  and  indus- 
tries of  the  city  co-operate  with  the 
school  and  give  jobs  to  the  students 
so  that  they  may  have  practical  ex- 
perience in  the  field  of  their  interest 
and  go  to  school  at  the  same  time. 
Twenty  junior  college  students  are  en- 
rolled under  this_  program. 

Those  attending  the  convention 
from  Ark  City  were  Lloyd  Gladmati. 
Russell  Baxter,  Vergal  Silbaugh,  Gil- 
bert Estep,  and  Charles  Whaley.  Mr. 
Curry  and  Mr.  Holman  accompanied 
the  delegates  to  Emporia  for  the  con- 
vention. 

Other  students  working-  under  the 
local  program  and  members  of  the 
Arkansas  City  club  include:  Kenneth 
Barton,  Bud  Childers,  Robert  Dora-

Arks  Play  El  Dorado,  Enter  A  AU  Tournament 


Members  of  the  1950  Tiger  eager 
crew  line  up  for  a  picture  at  season's 
end.  Left  to  right,  seated:  Allen  Chap-

The  Juco  Tigers  will  meet  the  El 
Dodado  Grizzlies  in  their  last  game 
of  the  season,  tomorrow  night.  In 
what  promises  to  be  a  thriller,  the 
Tigers  will  be  trying  to  better  their 
league  standing,  while  the  Grizzlies 
will  be  trying  to  climb  out  of  the 
league  cellar. 

In  their  first  encounter  this  season, 
the  Tigers  came  from  behind  in  the 
last  minutes  of  play  to  clown  the  Griz- 
zlies by  only  one  point. 

After  playing  a  cold  first  round, 
the  Bengals  have  won  three  of  their 
last  four  divisional  games.  Their  wins 
were  over  Dodge  City,  El  Dorado,  and 
Pratt,  with  the  loss  to  the  strong 
Hutchinson  club. 

Should  the  Arks  keep  playing  this 
brand  of  ball,  it  will  be  a  tough  game 
for  El  Dorado  to  win.  However,  tall, 
slippery  Lininger  and  the  fast  Garcia 
of  El  Dorado  are  a  threat  to  any  op- 
ponent. 

Coach  "Bunt"  Spear  has  announced 
that  the  Bengals  have  been  approved 
for  the  AAU  tournament  to  be  held 
at  Wichita,  March  4  to  11,  with  the 
Tigers  meeting  their  first  opponent 
either  March   4   or  6.

The  Tigers  pulled  themselves  out  of 
the  western  division  cellar  for  the 
first  time  this  season  by  beating  Pratt 
47-36,  Feb.  10.  The  Beavers  threat- 
ened only  once  in  the  last  half  of  the 
game  as  they  closed  a  12-point  gap 
and  pulled  to  within  one  point  of  the 
Arks. 

Johnson  started  the  scoring  with  a 
free  throw  and  Bartholomew  quickly 
tallied  with  two  more  points.  The  Ben- 
gals then  proceeded  to  build  up  a  six- 
point  lead  with  the  score  11-5  and  only 
six  minutes  of  play  gone. 

The  Beavers  began  to  close  the  gap 
and  with  a  seven-point  rally  pulled 
into  the  lead  18-17.  Chaplin  then  gar- 
nered five  points  and  Bartholomew 
hit  a  free  shot  before  the  half  ended. 
The   score   was  23-18. 

Coming  out  fast  in  the  second  half, 
the  home  squad  quickly  doubled  their 
five-point  lead,  as  Bohannon  hit  two 
from  the  field  and  Johnson  then  ran 
their  lead  to  12  points  with  the  score 
32-20. 

The  Beavers  then  tallied  with  14 
points  while  the  Arks  were  collecting 
only  three  points.  With  the  one  point 
lead.  Bohannon   sank  a  free  shot  and 


Bengals  Bow 
To  Coffeyville 
As  Jinx  Holds 

The  Juco  Tigers  were  downed  by 
the  Coffeyville  Red  Ravens  last  Friday 
night  at  Coffeyville,  51  to  40.  Allen 
Chaplin,  with  his  biggest  night  this 
season,  could  not  make  up  for  the 
coldness    of    his    teammates. 

The  game  got  off  to  a  slow  start 
after  6V2  minutes  of  play  the  score 
was  in  a  3-3  deadlock.  The  score  was 
tied  again,  7-7,  before  the  Coffeyville 
squad  pulled  out  in  front  where  they 
remained  the  rest  of  the  game. 

The  Tigers  came  back  fast  in  the 
second  half  and  closed  the  gap  to 
three  points  as  Johnson,  Hylton  and 
Chaplin  each   hit  goals. 

In  the  last  10  minutes  of  play,  the 
Red  Ravens  went  on  a  scoring  spree 
and  tallied  with  22  points  while  the 
Bengals   scored   15. 

Chaplin  was  high  point  man  for 
the  evening  with  a  total  of  20  points. 
Bishop  and  Robinson  of  Coffeyville 
were    next   with    12    points   each. 


Bartholomew  hit  a  goal.  Hunter  scored 
the  last  two  points  for  Pratt  as  he 
sank  a  set-up.  The  score  was  38-36. 
In  the  last  two  minutes  of  play,  they 
tallied  with  nine  points  and  the  score 
ended    47-36.

in.  She  made  a  "peek-a-boo"  skirt  out 
of  the  tight  model  she  was  wearing 
other  day,  when  she  reached  for  a  fast

Could  you  ever  imagine  that  from 
the  point  of  view  of  the  origin  of  the

wolf's  paw,  seersucker  is  actually 
milk    and    sugar?

In  the  "feud"  between  Miss  Anne 
Hawley  and  Ken  Stanley,  Miss  Haw- 
ley  brings  up  the  subject  of  pickles 
whenever   she   wants   to   win   a   point. 


Seems  a  joke  in  German  was  given 
which  went-"How  is  a  kiss  like  a 
bottle  of  pickles?"  (answer)  "After 
the  first  one  the  rest  come  easy." 

To  this  Ken  said  loudly,  "Yes,  that 
is  sooo  true!  But  he  caught  the  refer- 
ence to  the  pickles  only,  — he  says!

Last  Concert 


Marion  Bell,  spectacular  young  sop- 
prano,  will  present  the  last  program 
in  the  current  Civic  Music  Concert 
series  in  the  junior  high  school  audi- 
torium, March  29.  . 

She  has  been  hailed  throughout  the 
United  States  as  an  outstanding  star 
of  stage,  screen  and  radio.  She  sang 
the  leading  role  of  Fiona  in  Bnga- 
doon"  witn  great  success.  When  she 
began  planning  for  a  J  own  Hall  ap- 
pearance, many  doubted  that  she 
would  be  very  well  rece.ved  since 
concert  audiences  were  much  moie 
critical  of  talent  than  those  attending 
musical  programs.  However,  during 
the  1948-49  Town  Hall  seaso  she 
,m>de  her  debut  and  immediately 
bookings   started  pouring  in. 

At  the  age  of  eight  she  won  a  ladio 
contest  program  which  gave  her  a  one 
year  singing  spot  on  a  St.  Louis 
radio  program  under  the  naf*  °j 
"TwinkleBell."  This  was  her  foimal 
introduction  into  the  world  of  song. 

Besides  radio  and  operatic  work 
Miss  Bell  has  also  appeared  m  seveial 
movies.  Not  only  does  she :  have  a 
thrilling  soprano  voice  but  also  she  is 
very  attractive.

Danish  Clock  In  Library 

The  small  decorative  clock  on  the

clock  in  one  of  the  shops.  She  pur- 
chased it  and  brought  it  back  with  her 
to  the  United  States. 
t0  For  several  years  the  clock  had  no 
been  running,  but  jus  recently  Mn*

60  to  50.  their  second  win  of  the 
season  over  the  Eastern  Division 
champions. 

The  Bengals  had  a  cold  night  at 
the  free  throw  line,  and  collected  only 
six  of  their  GO  points  from  that  posi- 
tion. The  Arks  started  the  scoring  and 
never  lost   the   lead. 

Bohannon  clicked  first  with  a  field 
goal  and  Chaplin  came  back  for  two 
more  points.  The  Tigers  then  ran

Tigers  Downed 
By  El  Dorado 
In  Last  Game 

The  El  Dorado  Grizzlies  came  from 
behind  in  the  last  minutes  of  play 
to  defeat  the  Tigers,  47  to  45,  last 
Friday  night.  The  loss  put  the  Arks 
in  a  three  way  tie  for  last  place  in 
the  western  division,  the  spot  being 
shared  by  El  Dorado  and  Pratt. 

El  Dorado  started  the  scoring  by 
sinking  two  charities  and  the  Ben- 
gals countered  with  one  from  the 
field  by  Bartholomew.  The  Arks  then 
ran  up  a  four  point  lead  as  the  score 
went  to  12-8. 

The  Tigers  stretched  their  lead  to 
nine  points  with  the  score  21-13  and 
still  held  this  lead  as  the  half  ended. 
The  score  was  28  to  19. 

The  Bengals,  lacking  their  usual 
burst  of  scoring,  could  not  stretch 
their  lead  at  the  start  of  the  second 
half.  They  still  held  an  eight  point 
lead,  37-29,  as  the  game  went  into 
the  final  ten  minutes  of  play. 

At  this  point  El  Dorado  started 
closing  the  gap  and  pulled  to  within 
three  points  of  the  Tigers  with  the 
score  39  to  36.  The  Grizzlies  puled 
to  one  point  as  the  score  went  to  43- 
42,  then  tied  the  score,  45-45,  with 
only  seconds  of  play  left  in  the  game. 

'El  Dorado  then  swiped  the  ball  and 
Hess  tallied  with  the  two  winning 
points  just  befoi-e  the  gun  sounded 
ending  the   game. 

Vanhaverbecker  of  El  Dorado  was 
high  for  the  night  with  12  points.  Hess 
and  Datin  of  El  Dorado*  tied  with 
Bartholomew  for  second  place,  each 
tallying    11   points. 

went  to   13-8. 

The  Pirates  started  a  come  back 
and  pulled  to  one  point  of  the  Arks 
as  the  score  went  to  20-19.  The  Ben- 
gals then  scored  five  straight  points 
to  stretch  their  lead  to  six  points, 
and  as  the  half  ended,  the  Tigers  were 
ahead    27-22. 

Coming  back  in  the  second  half, 
the  Bengals  doubled  their  lead  as 
the  score  went  to  39-29,  then  went 
ahead  12  points  with  the  score  43-31. 

Independence  staged  a  futile  7- 
point  rally  and  made  the  score  45-40, 
hut  could  not  close  the  final  gap. 


Tigers  Win, 
Lose  One 
At  Wichita 

After  winning  their  opening  game 
in  the  AAU  Tournament  at  Wichita, 
the  Tigers  lost  to  the  Gypsum  Mer- 
chants last  Monday  night.  The  win 
was  over  the  Newton  Nebergall  Oilers 
Saturday  night.  This  was  the  last 
game  of  the  season  and  the  Bengals 
turned   in   their  suits   Wednesday. 

The  Arks  started  off  fast  against 
the  Newton  squad  and  at  the  half  they 
held  a  14-point  lead  with  the  score 
26-12. 

In  the  second  half,  they  continued 
their  scoring  spree.  The  Oilers  never 
threatened  during  the  game  and  the 
score  was  48  to  32  at  the  final  gun. 

Chaplin  was  high  with  14  points 
while  Bartholomew  followed  closely 
with    13   points. 

In  the  second  game,  the  Arks  went 
down  to  the  Gypsum  Merchants  of 
Gypsum,  Kan.,  47  to  36.  The  Mer- 
chants used  a  fast  break  and  managed 
to  wear  the  home  team  down  in  the 
last  half.

Career  Day  Is 
Set  for  May  2; 
Invite  Seniors 


The  second  annual  junior  college 
Career  Day  is  set  this  year  for  May 
2,  Dean  K.  R.  Galle  announced  this 
week.  The  program  is  under  the  spon- 
sorship of  the  junior  college  faculty, 
with  J.  Kelsey  Day  as  chairman. 

Under  general  plans  made  for  this 
year,  students  will  be  offered  a  list  of 
vocations  for  which  discussion  leaders 
can  be  obtained,  instead  of  taking  a 
survey  of  what  students  are  interested 
in  as  was  done  last  year. 

High  School  Seniors  Invited 

"Seniors  from  surrounding  high 
schools  will  be  invited  this  year," 
Dean  Galle  said.  Outsiders  were  not 
invited  last  year  while  the  program 
was  in  expermental  stage.  The  pro- 
gram will  start  with  a  general  as- 
sembly and  guest  speaker.  Each  stu- 
dent will  have  a  social  discussion 
classes  to  attend,  and  a  social  meeting 
hour  is  planned  for  sometime  during 
the  day. 

Experienced  Guidance 

"Career  Day  gives  the  student  a 
chance  to  learn  about  fields  in  which 
he  is  interested  from  experienced 
sources,"  Dean  Galle  pointed  out,  "to 
help  him  to  decide  on  a  field  in  which 
he  may  be  successful."

New  Hedge  Will 
Beautify  Campus 

The  old  shrubs  along  the  walks  on 
the  east  and  south  sides  of  the  high 
school  building,  which  have  been  re- 
moved, will  be  replaced  with  new  ones. 
The  ground  had  lost  its  fertility  and 
was  dug  out  and  replaced  with  new 
earth  and  fertilizer. 

The  project  is  expected  to  be  com- 
pleted this  month.  The  hedge  was 
ordered  through  Moncrief's  Green- 
house. 

The  new  hedge  will  be  the  same 
as  that  in  Paris  Park  which  does 
not  lose   its  foliage   in   the  winter.

Decline  in  Number 
of  Absences,  Fewer 
Problem   Cases 

Those  presenty  attending  the  junior 
college  may  have  discovered  it  is  wise 
to  attend  classes,  if  absence  records 
of  the  last  3  years  prove  anything. 
Statistics  covering  first  semesters  of 
the  period  were  released  this  week  by 
the  dean's  office. 

Compared  to  14  students  in  '47,  13 
in  '48,  there  were  30  students  in  '49 
who  had  no  absences  marked  against 
them.  This  despite  the  fact  there  were 
103  students  who  had  from  1  to  7 
absences  compared  to  97  and  81  res- 
pectively  in   the   previous   two  years. 

The  percent  of  students  having 
"good"  records  increased  from  40.8  in 
'47,  to  43.8  in  '48  and  61.5  in  '49,  while 
the  problem  cases  have  decreased  from 
60  and  52,  respectively,  to  only  23. 

This  decline  in  absences  has  of 
course  precipitated  a  decline  in  clock 
hours  missed  from  last  year's  2,776 
to  2,036.  This  is  an  average  of  9.42 
hours  per  student  to  '48's   13.2. 

From  these  figures  one  might  con- 
clude that  junior  college  students  are 
becoming  more  moral  and  upright,  or 
perhaps  just  smarter.  As  Dean  K.  R. 
Galle  pointed  out,  one  of  the  first 
things  employers  check  on  for  a  pros- 
pective employee  is  his  or  her  at- 
tendance record  in  high  school  and 
junior  college. 


'50  Tigerama 

Plans  for  that  main  spring  event, 
the  Tigerama,  are  now  underway. 
Tigerama  festivities  will  be  held  this 
year  on  April  14  in  the  auditorium- 
gymnasium.  "Cindy's  Ball,"  a  modern 
version  of  the  Cinderella  story,  has 
been  chosen  as  the  theme. 

Committe  heads  who  have  been  cho- 
sen by  the  social  committee  are  Mary 
Swearingen,  reception;  Warren  Isom, 
decoration;  Delores  Morton  and  Jane 
DeVore,  refreshments;  Bill  Patterson, 
clean-up;  Al  McKeever,  program;  and 
Carol  Jo  Koeller,  invitations. 

Invitations  will  be  sent  to  seniors  of 
the  local  and  surrounding  high  schools 
and  to  alumni. 

Dance  music  will  be  furnished  by 
Herb  Jimmerson's  band. 

Other  arrangements  have  not  been 
completed  but  all  committees  are 
beginning  work.

Teachers  of  Today  Give  Tea 

For  Teachers  of  Tomorrow 

Junior  college  and  senior  high  stu- 
dents who  are  interested  in  becoming 
teachers  were  intertained  with  a  tea

She  presented  four  elementary  stu- 
dents who  discussed  what  they  dis- 
liked about  teachers.  Mrs.  Florence 
Goforth  discussed  teachers  from  a 
teachers  viewpoint  and  W.  H.  Ireland

Big  Thrill  in  Seeing 
Home  Towners  at 
Regional  Tourney 

During  the  week  of  March  6  a  few 
students  may  have  been  seen  going 
aiound  school  with  happy  smiles  on 
their  faces  and  saying:"Guess  what, 
my  home-town  basketball  team  is  go- 
ming  to  the  regional  tournament!" 

Some  had  expected  their  teams  to 
come,  but  to  others  it  was  just  a  wild 
dream  come  true. 

First  they  had  "sweat  out"  the 
district  tournaments  because  those  de- 
cided whether  teams  would  get  to 
come.  They  had  to  take  first  or  second, 
though  sometimes  third  place  is  in- 
vited. 

The  finally  the  big  day  of  the  tour- 
nament arrived,  the  big  day  when  all 
the  folks  from  home  were  here.  The  en- 
joyment of  showing  the  kids  one  went 
to  school  with,  the  school  here,  the 
city,  and  introducing  them  to  the  folks 
down  here  is  a  great  thrill. 

Yes,  it's  a  big  day  when  your  home- 
town  basketball   team   comes   the    re- 
gional tournaments. — NLT

Mrs.  Moncrief  is  Guest  of 
Honor  at  Spanish  Club 

Mrs.  Willard  Moncrief  was  the  guest 
of  honor  at  the  Spanish  Club  meeting 
held  at  the  home  of  Caroline  Hinsey, 
club  president.  Mrs.  Moncrief  played 
two  piano  solos:  "Malaguena,"  by 
Ernesto  Lucauno.  and  "Dance  in  the 
Patio",  by  Charles  Reper. 

The  topic  of  the  evening's  discus- 
sion was  Chile.  Caroline  showed  letters 
and  pictures  of  Chile  which  she  has 
received  from  her  Chilean  pen-pal, 
Marina  Pino. 


Play  practice  of  "The  Romantic 
Age"  was  flowing  along  jolly  well  in 
the  long  love  scene  between  Roger 
Warren  and  Mae  Ellen  Bossi  when 
Mae  Ellen  missed  a  cue! 
Roger:  "May  I  kiss  your  fingers?" 
Mae:  "Who  else  if  not  my  lord?" 

Roger:  "May  I  kiss  your  lips? 

your  lines?" 

Rhetoric  students  may  be  interested 
in  knowing  how  fortunate  or  unfort- 
unate they  are  as  compared  to  stu- 
dents in  other  colleges.  At  Kansas 
University,  for  instance,  this  is  what 
they  are  doing,  according  to  Jean  Me- 
Ginnis,  who  breezed  into  town  re- 
cently. 

Up  there  they  use  "Writing  and 
Thinking",  as  here,  but  a  book  en- 
titled "Factual  Prose"  in  place  of 
"American  Traditions".  In  addition 
they  have  studied  several  plays  by 
Shakespeare,  including  "Twelfth 
Night"  and  "King  Henry  IV."  Instead 
of    Conrad    they    have    been    studying 


"John  Brown's  Body"  by  Benet.  Also 
says  Jean,  "We  write-themes,  themes, 
themes,  and  themes." 

Jean  was  graduated  from  the  high 
school  here  with  theclass  of  '49,  as 
were  most  ACJC  freshman.

"May  I  kiss   your  hand   honey?" 
"Yes....  (pause   If  you   don't  go   any

bers of  the  Distributive  Education 
club  as  a  project  to  raise  funds  for 
the   club.

Dr.  Schwegler  Is  Making- 
Third  Visit  of  School  Year 

Dr.  R.  A.  Schweglar  is  making  his 
third  visit  of  the  present  school  year 
this  week.  He  spent  Monday  in  concil 
with  the  junior  college  students.  He  is 
spending  the  rest  of  the  week  with  the 
junior  high  and  senior  high  school, 
budgeting  his  time  to  two  days  with 
each. 

Dr.  Schwegler  is  planning  some  re- 
turn visits  next  year  to  continue  his 
work  with  the  vouth  of  Arkansas  City. 


Miss  Co-ed  for  this  issue  is  5  feet 
8  inches  tall,  has  brown  hair  and  green

Galle  To  Attend 
National  AAJC  Meeting- 
Dean  K.  R.  Galle  will  attend  a  meet- 
ing  of   the   American   Association   of 
Junior  Colleges  at  the  Hotel  Roanoke. 
in   Roanoke,  Virginia,  March  26-29. 

This  is  to  be  a  meeting  of  about  GOO 
junior  college  representatives.  There 
will  be  general  group  sessions  with 
noted  speakers  and  sectional  meetings 
led  by  committee  chairmen. 


The  junior  college  players  presented 
"The  Romantic  Age",  a  three  -  act 
comedy  by  A.  A.  Milne,  in  the  junior 
high  auditorium  last  Friday  evening. 

The  characters  gave  excellent  por- 
trayals of  their  parts.  They  included: 
Roger  Warren,  Maellen  Bossi,  Robert 
Darrough,  Priscilla  Laughlin,  Mary 
Lawhon,  Don  Pringle,  Carolyn  Hin- 
sey,  James  Halcomb,  and  Michael 
Trollman. 

Roger  Warren  was  excellent  in  his 
role  of  Gervase  Mallory,  who  was 
in  love  with  Melisande,  portrayed  by 
Maellen  Bossi.  Both  gave  superior 
performances. 

Bobby  Coote,  played  by  Robert  Dar- 
rough switched  his  affections  from  Me- 
lisande to  her  cousin,  Jane,  enacted 
by  Priscilla  Laughlin.  Robert  Dar- 
rough, as  a  respectable  young  man 
with  a  good  job,  and  Priscilla  as  a 
shy  and  timid  girl  were  equally  good 
in  their  roles. 

Mary  Lawhon  played  the  part  of 
Melisande's  mother,  whose  one  wish 
was  to  get  her  daughter  married  be- 
fore she  died.  Mary  had  the  grace  of 
a  veteran  on  the  stage. 

Don  Pringle  gave  a  convincing  por- 
trayal of  Melisande's  quiet  but  out- 
spoken father. 

Master  Susan,  played  by  James  Hal- 
comb,  a  peddler  who  shared  his 
breakfast  and  his  philosophy  on  mar- 
riage with  Gerevase  Mallory,  was 
excellent. 

Em,  a  small  boy  who  took  some 
food  to  Mallory,  was  played  by  Mich- 
ael  Trollman. 

Caroline  Hinsey  appeared  as  the 
maid  who  couldn't  satisfy  anyone. 
Her  performance  was  outstanding. 

The  business  staff  consisted  of 
Roger  Warren,  business  manager, 
and  Kenneth  Stanley,  Duane  Johnson, 
and  Robert  Campbell  were  in  charge 
of  stage  arrangements.  Prompters 
were  Caroline  Hinsey  and  Belva  Tip- 
ton. 

The  music  was  furnished  by  the 
high  school  orchestra,  under  the  di- 
rection  of   August  Trollman. 

Programs  were  designed  by  Kenneth 
Wells    of  the   high   school,   and    were 
printed  by  the  printing  department.

Spring  Sports 


In  Full  Swing 

With  the  basketball  season  offic- 
ially over,  spring  sports  are  now  in 
full  swing.  Raymond  Judd  and  Dale 
Hanson  posted  their  call  for  tennis 
and  golf  last  week,  while  the  track 
squad  has  been  working  out  regular- 
ly for  the  past  three  weeks. 

Although  the  golf  schedule  is  still 
incomplete,  Hanson  announced  that 
his  squad  will  play  matches  with 
Coffeyville,  Independence,  Parsons, 
Iola,  and  St.  Johns. 

Judds  tennis  team  will  meet  it's 
first  opponent,  Tonkawa  Junior  Col- 
lege, April  4  at  Tonkawa.  They  will 
then  meet  Hutchinson  the  next  day. 
Judd  also  plans  to  enter  his  group 
in  the  Hutchinson  tournament  and  the 
Junior  College  State  Meet  before  the 
season  is  over. 

Coach  spear's  track  squad  has  been

Independents  Take 
Grenola  Tourney 

A  group  of  junior  college  students, 
calling  themselves  the  Arkansas  City 
Independents,  entered  and  won  the 
20th  annual  Grenola  basketball  tour- 
nament last  week. 

In  their  first  game,  they  trampled 
the  Severy  Athletic  club,  51  to  26. 
Chaplin  was  high  man  with  17  points. 

The  Independents  then  downed  Tis- 
dale  in  the  quarter  finals,  March  16, 
62-47.  The  Ark  City  group  got  off  to  a 
slow  start,  but  weren't  threatened  in 
the  last  half. 

In  the  semi-  finals,  the  Independents 
went  on  a  scoring  spree  to  beat  the 
Moline  Merchants,  77  to  44.  Chaplin 
was  again  high  with  a  total  of  29 
points. 

In  the  final  game  last  Saturday 
night,  the  Independents  copped  the 
bunting  by  beating  the  Sedan  Athletic 
Club,  47  to  40. 

Members  of  the  squad  included  Bill 
Bartholomew,  Don  Winslow,  Jim  John- 
son, Allen  Chaplin,  Frank  Hylton,  Don 
E.  Lewis,  and  Joe  Fife. 


The  Club  Rooms 

Crowds  shuffled  by  the  wide  door- 
way emitting  the  blaring  noise,  some 
pausing  to  enter  and  descend.  I  was 
in  a  carefree,  jovial  mood,  so  I  thought 
why  not  go  into  this  sub-street  hall, 
even  if  it  was  called  the  "den  of  in- 
iquity,'"— the  club  room. 

To  the  beat  of  "Slaughter  on  10th 
Avenue"  I  descended  the  steep  steps, 
the  music  becoming  menacingly  louder 
as  I  went  deeper  into  the  earth,  drawn 
like  a  mouse  to  a  mouse-trap.  A  sort 
of  haze  filled  the  place,  yellowish,  re- 
flected from  the  pale  green  walls. 

Raucous  laughter,  the  shuffle  of 
cars,  the  rough  scrape  of  chairs,  and 
the  click  of  bottles  was  heard  in  the 
distance.  Suddenly  I  burst  into  the 
room  and  swaggered  over  to  a  chair. 
Then  I  saw  her. 

We  stared  at  each  other  in  dis- 
belief, in  wonder,  in  amazement.  She 
was  breathtaking,  like  a  spring  morn, 
like  roses  and  dew.  I  decided  to  play 
her — unable  to  control  myself. ..I  had 
her  in  my  grasp,  I  clutched  her  jea- 
lously, only  vaguely  noticing  the  glare 
in  the  eye  of  the  animated  man  far 
to  one  side  of  the  clamoring  room.  I 
went  on,  enruptured.  overcome,  slyly 
planning  my  next  move,  when  it  hap- 
pened— when  I  felt  the  short  strike 
me. 

I  crumpled  to  the  floor,  letting  her 
slip  from  my  hands,  like  jelly  from 
bread.  I  was  dead.  But  I  could  con- 
sole myself.  I  had  held  a  double  run 
and  double  pinochle,  and  the  evil  mis- 
sile, the  ping  pong  ball,  was  busted. 

Marjorie  Ghramm  reported  on  the 
plans  that  have  been  made  by  the 
social  committee  for  the  Tigerama.  A 
committee  was  chosen  to  investigate 
the  possibilities  of  getting  new  furn- 
iture for  the  clubs  rooms. 

Helen  Leach,  student  council  pres- 
ident presided.

If  anyone  hears  an  outlandish  com- 
motion coming  from  the  library,  it 
might  be  caused  by  Allen  Chaplin 
making  a   "dramatic   entrance." 

Allen  entered  the  library  recently, 
with  a  pair  of  horn  rimmed  glasses 
to  which  was  fastened  an  immense 
nose.  The  customary  quiet,  for  which 
Miss  Ella  Christenson  strives,  was 
turned  into  a   state  of  chaos.

The  new  hedge  project  has  been 
completed  and  the  final  work  of  grow- 
ing is  left  up  to  good  weather  and 
careful  handling.  Here  are  some  rules 
not  to  follow  if  you  wish  to  help  it  to 
grow : 

Always  cut  corners  instead  of  walk- 
ing around. 

Use  the  hedge  for  low  hurdle  pract- 

Pick  as  many  branches  from  the 
hedge  as  you  wish. 

Head  custodian,  Paul  Heflin,  was  in 
charge  of  planting  the  new  hedgt.

Former  Jucos 
Make  Honor  Rolls 
At  4-year  Colleges 

Are  you  worrying  for  fear  that  you 
will  not  be  able  to  keep  up  with 
other  students  when  you  tranfser  to 
a  four  year  college?  If  so,  stop,  look 
and  listen! 

Last  semester  nearly  all  of  the 
Arkansas  City  students  who  were 
named  for  honor  rolls  at  four  year 
colleges  were  either  former  ACJC 
students  or  graduates. 

ACJC  graduates  named  for  the 
honor  roll  at  Southwestern  were  Gar- 
old  Gregory,  Donald  Gribble,  and 
Harry  Keller.  Freshman  transfer 
students  on  the  roll  were  Emmet 
Smith  and  John  Thomas.  Another 
honor  roll  student  was  Ralph  Rosen- 
crantz  who  transferred  after  three 
semesters  in   ACJC. 

At  Kansas  University,  graduates 
named  were  Michael  Wayne  Justice 
and  Elwood  Keller.  Also  on  the  honor 
roll  was  Diane  Danley  who  transferred 
after    her    freshman    year    in    ACJC. 

Three  ACJC  graduates  were  named 
as  distinguishted  students  at  Qkla. 
A.  &  M.  These  were  Robin  Ledeker, 
Robert  Burton,  and  Barbara  Williams. 
Sue  Ledeker  Stephens  was  a  fresh- 
man transfer  student  who  was  named. 

Particularly  outstanding  work 
was  done  by  Burton,  whose  record 
shows  that  he  made  all  A's  in  the 
20  hours  of  courses  in  which  he  was 
enrolled  last  semester.  He  is  again 
enrolled  in  20  hours  this  semester.

Things  like  this  could  prove  em- 
barrassing. Seems  that  Jane  Devore 
was  dili|  irking  at  a  chemistry 

experiment,  when  suddenly  she  found 
h  in    her   s~.\ :  ••  ■  er.    The

some  te  :    tu         which  contained  acid, 
and  some  of  it  had  splashed  on  Jane.

D.  C.  Stark  to  Kyle  Crawford,  who 
had  gone  to  sleep  in  class:  "Now 
there  is  a  catalyst  for  you.  Put  him 
in  the  sun,  and  immediately  he  goes 
to  sleep." 


One  evening  while  visiting  Don 
Bohannon,  Dick  Foote  began  arrang- 
ing various  articles  on  the  floor.  The 
articles  included  a  Time  magazine, 
shoe  shining  rag,  whisk  broom,  flex- 
ible ruler,  broken  ping  pong  ball,  ma- 
tches, and  house  slippers.  As  soon 
as  he  had  finished  arranging  them  he 
stepped  back  to  cast  an  approving 
glance  of  his  work. 

"There',  he  said,  "is  a  good  example 
modern   art." 

The  other  day,  Paul  Johnson  sug- 
gested to  the  students  in  one  of  his 
classes  that  they  might  burn  a  little 
midnight  oil. 

That  afternoon  when  Mr.  Johnson 
returned  to  his  classroom,  he  found 
on  his  desk  a  small  bottle  of  dark 
fluid  labeled  "Midnight  Oil." 


Dr.  Schwegler  To  Make 
Final  Appearance  April  17 

Dr.  R.  A.  Schwegler  will  make  his 
final  appearance  here  for  this  school 
term  during  the  week  beginning  April 
17.  This  is  the  last  opportunity  for 
those  who  are  interested  in  holding 
private  conferences.  Juco  students  who 
are  still  interested  may  still  make  ap- 
pointments in  the  college  office. 

Dr.  Schwegler  is  an  outstanding 
authority  in  the  fields  of  psychiatry 
and  he  attempts  to  help  people  learn 
to  analyze  their  own  problems  and  get 
the    most   out   of   their   lives.

Suppressed   Desires 
Is  Presented  at 
Juco  Assembly 

The  junior  college  forensic  team 
under  the  direction  of  A.  E.  Maag, 
presented  a  two  act  comedy,  "Sub- 
pressed  Desires",  at  the  regular  jun- 
ior college  assembly  March   22. 

"Suppressed  Desires"  concerns  a 
psycohology-minded  wife  who  gives 
a  "psychocomedanalysis"  of  her  sis- 
ter and  husbands  dreams.  She  is  a 
confirmed  beliver  in  psychoanalysis 
until  the  real  analysis  of  her  husband 
and  sister's  dreams  backfire  to  spoil 
her  own  plans. 

The  play  was  presented  at  the 
forensic  meet  in  El  Dorado  March  24 
and  received  a  second  place.  Mary 
Swearingen  played  the  part  of  the 
wife,  Walt  Rickel,  her  husband  and 
Margaret   Dore,   the    sister.

tioned above,  is  a  veteran  who  is 
following  a  general  course  in  ACJC

no  definite  plans  for  the  future. 

His  favorite  pastime  called  for

International 
Banquet  To  Be 
Held  April  25 

The  "International  Banquet"  will 
be  held  April  25.  It  is  a  dinner  for  the 
three  language  clubs  and  college 
speech  class-. 

It  is  an  annual  a_ffair,  established  in 
1947.  Each  club  ha*s  a  part  of  the  pro- 
gram and  one  of  the  language  clubs 
gives    a    ten-minute    play. 

The  first  year,  the  French  club  gave 
the  play  "The  Necklace", by  de.  Mau 
Passant,  in  French. 

In  1948,  the  German  club  gave,  in 
German,  a  16th  century  farce  by  Hans 
Sachs,  "The  Traveling  Student." 

Last  year  "The  Sunny  Morning",  by 
Quinteros,  was  given  in  Spanish  by 
the  Spanish  club. 

This    year    the    German   club    will 
again    give    the    play.    Miss    Pauline 
Sleeth's  speech  class  will  present  the 
same  play  in  English. 

Miss  Anne  Hawley,  modern  lan- 
guage instructor  is  faculty  advisor  of 
the  language  clubs. 


Repair  Battalion."  He  entered  junior 
college  in  October  of  this  year.  He 
went  out  for  football  this  year,  but 
because  of  his  late  start,  he  didn't 
play  any.  He  plans  to  go  out  again 
next  year. 

The  blessed  event  was  September 
11,  1926,  in  Eureka  Springs,  Ark.  He 
attended  high  school  there  and  at 
Washburn  Mo.,  and  at  Winfield,  where 
he  was  graduated  in  1944. 

Charles  added  that  he  was  open 
for  telephone  calls  from  3  to  6:30 
p.m.,  but  he  failed  to  leave  his  tele- 
phone number. 


New  Coach 
To  Be  Here 
Next  Year 


Students  returning  to  junior  col- 
lege next  fall  will  find  a  new  coach 
on  the  faculty.  W..  G.  "Bunt"  Speer 
will  have  an  assistant  to  help  whip 
the  boys  into  shape  for  football,  bas- 
ketball  and    track. 

"A  great  many  applications  have 
been  received  and  more  are  coming  in 
every  day,  but  as  yet  we  have  not 
decided  on  any  one  person,"  Supt.. 
J.  J.   Vineyard   said   Monday. 

Another  change  in  the  local  school 
system  is  to  be  the  addition  of  five: 
teachers    to    the    local    grade    school's.. 

Dr.  Vineyard  says  that  if  it  is  at 
all  possible,  he  wants  the  new  teachers 
to  be  young  men.  It  is  the  plan  tO' 
place  one  in  each  of  the  grade  schools 
to  supervise  boys'  activities.  It  is  also' 
hoped  that  there  will  be  continued 
cooperation  with  the  city's  organza- 
tioia   of  junior  police. 

If  these  plans  are  realized,  there 
will  be  a  man  in  each  grade  school 
to  supervise  boys'  activities,  two< 
coaches  in  junior  high,  three  coaches 
in  senior  high,  and  two  coaches  in 
the  junior  college. 

"We  hope  in  this  way  to  be  able 
to  care  for  the  atheltic  interests  of 
the  boys  all  through  their  schooling,"' 
says  Dr.  Vineyard.

The  golf  squad  will  open  their  sea- 
son by  playing  El  Dorado  April  10  on 
the  El  Dorado  links.  The  next  week 
they  will  go  to  Independence  to  play 
a  match  on  April  19.  Their  next  sch- 
eduled match  will  be  a  return  meet 
with  El  Dorado.  Several  other  matches 
will  be  scheduled  before  school  is  out. 

Coach  Dale  Hanson  reports  that 
this  is  the  first  year  a  complete  golf 
schedule  will  be  played.  Now  that 
there  is  a  golf  schedule  in  junior  high, 
and  high  school,  and  junior  college, 
Hanson  believes  that  the  teams  will 
become'  much  better  in  future  years. 

Judd's  tennis  team  started  its  sea- 
son Tuesday  at  Tonkawa  with  the 
Tonkawa  Junior  College.  They  then

Wood,  Patterson 
Are  Ping  Pong 
Doubles  Champs 

Norman  Wood  and  Bill  Patterson 
emerged  last  week  as  the  1950  ping 
pong  champions  by  beating  Kyle 
Crawford  and  Charles  Goforth  in  a 
close  match.  The  consolation  matches 
to  determine  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth 
places  are  scheduled  to  be  played 
this  week. 

In  the  first  round  Wood  and  Patter- 
son beat  Jim  Thomas  and  Roy  Smith, 
Frank  Hylton  and  Ray  Axton  won 
over  Bob  Darrough  and  Bob  Doramus, 
and  Darrel  Davidson  and  Bill  Morris 
went  down  to  Crawford  and  Goforth. 

In  the  semi-finals  Wood  and  Patt- 
erson downed  Hylton  and  Axton,  while 
Crawford  and  Goforth  drew  a  bye. 

Wood  and  Patterson  then  edged 
Crawford  and  Goforth  by  winning  the 
last  two  sets  to  give  them  three  wins 
out  of  five.  The  scores  were,  14-21,  21- 
14,  14-21,  21-7,  and  21-13.

Administrators  Cool  to  Bid  by 
National  Juco  Athletic  Body 


An  unsucessful  bid  for  member- 
ship in  the  American  Association  of 
Junior  Colleges  was  made  by  the 
National  Junior  College  Athletic 
Association,  at  the  30th  annirersary 
convention  of  the  A.A.J.C.  Dean  K. 
R.  Galle,  who  attended  the  convention 
at .  the  Hotel  Roanoke,  in  Roanoke, 
Va.,  March  26-29,  reported  the  action 
on  his   return   Saturday. 

The  educators  turned  down  the  ap- 
plication of  the  athletic  organization 
because  they  questioned  the  policies 
and  practices  of  the  unofficial  coaches 
group,  Dean  Galle  said.  Further  con- 
ferences   will   follow   and    application 


will  again  be  made,  but  Dean  Galle 
noted  a  coolness  of  administators  to 
national  tourneys  and  meets. 

Problems  of  adminstration  and  cur- 
riculum development  were  a  major 
topic  of  disscussion. 

Next  years'  convention  will  be  held 
at  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  with  Eugene 
Chaffee  of  Boise  Junior  College,  the 
new  president. 

Many  of  the  junior  colleges  of  the 
South  were  represented.  Most  south- 
ern junior  colleges  are  either  privately 
owned  or  church  supported.  Dean 
Galle  noted,  whereas  in  Kansas  most 
junior  colleges  are  publicly  supported. 


Mary  Pudden,  Juco  Grad., 
Visit  Here  This  Week 

Mary  Pudden,  a  last  year's  juco 
graduate,  is  home  for  a  visit  this 
week.  She  is  attending  Milwaukee- 
Downers  College  in  Milwaukee,  Wis. 
Mary  is  planning  for  a  career  in 
physical  therapy. 

When  a  friend  pointed  out  to  Mary 
how  lucky  she  was  to  get  a  whole 
week  for  Easter  vacation,  she  com- 
mented: "But  I  don't  get  out  until 
June.  I  can  just  see  myself  taking 
finals  in  June!" 

Mary  likes  her  school  life  in  the 
far  north  and  is  sure  she  will  enjoy 
her  career.

day morning  .April  19,  in  the  junior 
high  auditorium. 

In  his  lecture  he  pointed  out  the 
increasing  importance  of  South  Afri- 
ca and  how  it  can  fit  into  the  Ameri- 
can foreign  policy.  He  told  of  the  in-

Carolee  Rice 
Is  Cinderella 
At  Tigerama 

Miss  Carolee  Rice  of  Cedar  Vale  was 
crowned  "Miss  Cinderella"  last  Friday 
night  at  the  annual  junior  college 
Tigerama.  Miss  Rice  is  the  daughter  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  Rice. 

"Cindy"  belongs  to  the  girl's  glee 
club,  plays  the  clarinet  in  the  high 
school  band,  is  vice  president  of  the 
Y-Teens,  and  is  treasurer  of  the  senior 
class  at  Cedar  Vale  high  school. 

She  says  that  she  plans  to  take  a  lot 
of  English  in  college,  but  she  doesn't 
know  where  she  will  attend. 

When  asked  how  it  felt  to  be  a  Cin- 
derella, she  replied: 

"It  just  feels  wonderful,"  then 
added,  "but  I  was  scared  at  first." 

Some  of  her  favorite  pastimes  are 
swimming,  dancing,  watching'  any  type 
of  sports,  and  "anything  that's  fun." 

Miss  Rice  was  presented  with  a  tiny 
glass  slipper  and  was  crowned  by 
Wayne  Peters,  master  of  ceromonies. 

Dean  K.  R.  Galle  chose  the  "un- 
lucky" number  13  which  became  a 
"lucky"   13  for  Carolee.

Another  war  is  the  most  common 
fear  among  150  Arkansas  Citians  in 
every  age  group,  according  to  a  re- 
cent poll  taken  by  Vivian  Milam,  Juco 
sophomore.  The  poll,  which  covered 
persons  of  high  school  age,  collegians, 
and  adults,  was  conducted  as  research 
for  her  term  project  in  sociology. 

In  the  adult  group  the  possibility 
of  war  was  first  with  70  per  cent  of 
those  polled  listing  it  as  a  fear.  Second 
was  "children's  futures"  which  had  15 
per  cent. 

Among  junior  college  women,  chan- 
ces for  a  successful  marriage  was  the 
main  worry,  with  60  per  cent  naming 
it  as  one  of  their  fears,  and  second, 
with  20  per  cent,  was  the  fear  of  soc- 
ial non-  acceptance.  Fear  of  war  held 
a  fourth  place. 

With  college  men  the  thought  of  a 
successful  marriage  concerned  only  5 
per  cent,  but  the  fear  of  another  war 
was  strong  with  70  per  cent  listing  it. 

High  school  girls  do  not  seem  to 
worry  much  about  a  successful  mar- 
riage concerned  only  5  per  cent,  but 
the  fear  of  another  war  was  strong 
with  70  per  cent  listing  it. 

High  school  girls  do  not  seem  to 
worry  much  about  a  successful  mar- 
riage but  55  per  cent  named  social 
non-acceptance  and  20  per  cent  placed 
"speaking  before  a  class"  as  second. 
Lack  of  opportunity  for  personal  rec- 
ognition was. the  most  prominent  fear 
of  55  per  cent  of  the  high  school  boys, 
while  war  was  second"  with  30  per 
cent. 

"While  taking  the  poll,"  Vivian  said, 
"I  found  that  co-operation  with  the 
junior  college  students  was  best. 
Adults  would  try  to  convince  m'e  that 
they  had  no  worries  until  I  had  talked 
to  them  for  a  while.  Many  high  school 
students  took  the  whole  matter  as  a 
joke."

English  Literature  Class  Uses 
All  Possible  Thought  Vehicles 


Members  of  Miss  Pauline  B.  Sleeth's 
English  literature  class,  as  part  of 
their  class  work,  will  attend  in  a  group 
April  20  the  academy  award  movie  of 
Shakespeare's  tragedy,  "Hamlet", 
which  stars  Laurence  Olivia.  This  will 
be  the  first  time  a  college  literature 
class  has  attented  a  popular  movie 
as  part  of  the  course. 

Another  interesting  and  popular  in- 
novation in  theEngiish  literature  class 
has  been  the  use  in  recent  years  of 
records  of  Shakespeare's  plays,  in- 
cluding "Twelfth   Night",  "Macbeth". 

"Other  record  albums  of  his  plays 
will  be  purchased  as  the  money  be- 
comes available,"  Miss  Sleeth  stated. 
With  the  albums  come  booklets 
through  which  the  class  can  follow  the 
shortened  play  as  records  are  played 
The  books  also  contain  the  history  of 
the  play,  of  drama  in  general,  and  of 
the  life  of  Shakespeare.  Orson  Welles 
is  one  of  the  star  performers  in  both 
albums.  Along  with  Roger  Hill,  he  is 
the  producer  and  arranger  of  the  plays, 


using  the  trade  mark,  "The  Mercury 
Shakespeare." 

While  movies  and  record  ablums 
have  their  advantages,  members  of  the 
class  have  discovered  reading  the 
plays  aloud  in  class  has  its  advant- 
ages, too;  for  instance,  hearing  Joan 
Coulson;  Norma  Baker  and  Delores 
Morton  chasing  violently  after  men, 
begging  them  to  be  theirs,  as  in  "A 
Midsummer  Night's  Dream";  or  hear- 
ing Victor  Milam  and  Leo  McNair 
make  flambuoyant  love. 

Students  are  finding  the  lines  very 
amusing  and  true  to  life  today. 
Shakespeare  was  free  in  the  use  of 
words,  phases  and  thoughts  which 
show  he  is  a  writer  for  all  periods. 

Instead  of  regular  textbooks  class 
members  have  purchased  at  local  book 
stores  25c  pocketbook  editions  of 
Shakespeare's  comedies  and  tragedies. 
After  seeing  the  movie  of  "Hamlet" 
the  class  will  read  the  play  aloud. 
April,  incidentally,  is  Shakespeare's 
month.

Dr.  D.L.  MacFarlane 

Talks  in  Assembly- 
Through  frequent  peals  of  laugh- 
ter jucos  heard  an  enjoyable  informal 
talk  April  11,  by  Dr.  MacFarlane\ 
president  of  Kansas  Teacher's  College 
at  Emporia.  Anyone  who  had  the  be- 
lief that  the  talk  would  be  boring  or 
super-serious  soon  changed  their  op- 
inions. Students  received  a  string  of 
anecdotes,  witticisms  and  jokes  which 
were  skillfully  fitted  together  to  form 
a  unified  speech. 

If  serious  portent  was  intended  for 
the  speech  it  came  mainly  in  the 
thought,  laugh  at  yourself,  your  mis- 
takes, and  don't  take  yourself  too 
seriously.  He  pointed  out  also  that  the 
university  at  Emporia  cost  Emporians 
and  Kansans  only  around  3  and  % 
cents  per  person  a  year. 

It  became  fairly  evident  following 
the  introduction  by  Supt.  Jerry  Vine- 
yard, that  Dr.  MacFarlane  derived 
great  joy  and  interest  from  his  Scotch 
ancestry.  He  told  several  jokes  con- 
cerning the  proverbial  Scotch  penny- 
pinching  trait.  As  a  typical  Scotty,  he 
poked  fun  at  the  English  to  the  limit. 
Until  1932,  Dr.  MacFarlane  noted,  he 
had  lamented  the  fact  that  he  could 
never  become  president,  since  he  had 
been  born  in  Scotland,  coming  to 
America  at  the  age  of  five. 

Jucos  will  be  eagerly  looking  for- 
ward to  a  return  visit  to  Ark  City  by 
Dr.  MacFarlane,  the  elocutioneer,  who 
as  he  repeatedly  stated,  is  not  a  cattle 
stealer.

Assembly  Committee  Presents 
Impressive  Easter  Program 

Junior  college  students  1 assembled

bers, including  "Hallelujah  Amen", 
"In  The  Garden  of  Gesthemane",  and 
"For  God  So  Loved  The  World". 


Recently  Tiger  Tales  mentioned 
what  books  were  being  used  in  rhe- 
toric classes  at  K.U.  No  comparison 
was  intended  or  should  be  made  on 
the  value  of  a  class  here ,  and  else- 
where on  the  basis  of  books  used,  as 
no  two  colleges  use  exactly  the  same 
texts.  "These  differences  among  col- 
leges in  the  books  used  is  considered 
by  many  a  good  thing,"  Miss  Virginia 
Weisgerber  pointed   out. 

"A  popular  fallacy  also  is  that 
teacher's  in  a  large  university  are 
necessarily  better,'  noted  Miss  Paul- 
ine B.  Sleeth.  "According  to  catalogues 
of  any  large  university  it  is  evident 
that  freshmam  and  sophomore  classes 
are  very  often  taught  by  inexperienced 
people  working  as  assistants  while 
working  for  their  masters  or  doctors 
degrees."
