NUMA 1932

EXLIBRIS

When, in the years beyond, you look back to the eventful 1931-32 term, we trust this volume of the "Numa" will be a source of information in bringing back to mind the old sweethearts, classmates, organizations, faculty and other things connected with Fort Smith Junior College.

SIDNEY BLAKELY, JR. Editor-in-Chief RALPH McMURTREY Business Manager

PUBLISHED BY

FORT SMITH JUNIOR COLLEGE NUMA STAFF

It is interesting to note the amount of progress that has been made in the yearbooks of Fort Smith Junior College. In three years, we have moved from a thin paperbacked book to a much thicker and more dignified annual.

This year the "Numa" staff wishes to present a volume that was designed to exhibit every phase of campus life and show as much advancement as the college itself has evinced during the 1931-32 term.

D E D IC A T ION Because of the great interest taken in the college activities; because of the firm faith he has displayed at all times; and because of the assistance he has placed at the hand of every student; to Dean Elmer Cook this volume of the "Numa" is respectfully dedicated.

Death has spent its bloody sickle.

Night has lent its mirky cloak.

Now can come the smoke, the fire, the stars, the moonrise.

A dry rustle . . .

Caressing folds . . .

A bird, awakened, pipes A shrill, sweet Nocturne.

A sentinel who sleeps the day and guards the night, takes thought for -neither— yet the light 'comes common as shoe leather.

Lo! He watches storm and weather, tide and time; and who says whether, thus sublime, it may go?

One would travel very far To take the pathway of a star.

DEAN OF MEN A man of such high ideals and high Christian character is an asset to any faculty and it is with pride and pleasure that we point to Mr. Mc Ginn as a perfect model of exemplary conduct. We appreciate his understanding of youth, his sympathetic spirit and loyalty and integrity with which he discharges his duties as Dean of Men. His life shows the whole student body the requisites of a true gentleman.

CLARENCE MC GINN

DEAN OF WOMEN Miss Settle is so much a vital factor in the functioning of our college that we should be entirely lost without her. She is ever ready to cooperate with any student enterprise and to lend a helping hand to all projects and endeavors which will benefit the school. She has clever ideas for programs and parties and is never too busy to give them to students. We appreciate Miss Settle in all that she means to us!

SECOND SEMESTER President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer ..

John H. Payne Lucille Sanderfer Sarah Johnson Adelyn Duey

RUTH BEEN "Thou amplest and art still"

Ruth will tell you without any compunction whatsoever that she is lucky—but at what she can't decide. Anyone with her dramatic ability and those eyes and that hair need not worry.

SIDNEY BLAKELY A big boy who does big things in a big way.

There are so many things about Sid—or should one say "There is so much of Sid ?" He writes quite a bit—almost too much. He draws in a big way (they always cover practically the whole piece of paper). And he talks—incessantly.

VIRGINIA BLAND She found a way or made one.

This brown-eyed girl has the most astounding ability for creating a disturbance. For instance—the sign on the door of 120, or the time she and another well-known junior collegiate sat on the curb, or on February 29, or—and so far, far into the night.

CARROLL BOWMAN "My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me."

Carroll hails from the little town in Arkansas called Newport. It must be a great little town from what he has told us about it. Even in all his travels Carroll thinks there is no place like Newport.

HOLLY CONKLIN A cool and calm, collected girl, Her mind is never 'in a whirl.

"Oh, what a pal I've found in Ruth." Holly and Ruth are always together—even so much that now they are spoken of as one. Holly behaves like a college student, while the rest of us behave like kindergarten pupils.

WILHELMINA CONNER A. merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

Whenever we think of Wilhelmina we think of her goldfish—the one she named Archibald because of a bald spot on his back fin, and the one named Francille because of her delicacy and her long, flowing tail. Wilhelmina has that valuable talent of being able to make one laugh.

ADELYN DUEY Ask Sid if Adelyn has pep-per!

Poor Adelyn, she has big black eyes, beautiful black curly hair, is a whiz at math, and a little wild (this last semester) Doesn't a girl like that need one's sympathy ?

NELL FARRIS Give little Nell a break.

Once upon a time Nell had a bridge party. "Crash ! !" —from the next room. "Kitty ! Kitty ! What do you mean ! !" But instead of the kitty 'twas a real live burglar ! ! Now this isn't the only break in Nell's life. In fact, they have become everyday occurances.

GLADYS FARMER "Happy am I, from care I'm free Why aren't they all like Trie?"

She can write her name in four different languages all her own— Adysgla Armerfa, Gliesadys Fiesarmer, Fladys Garmer, and Sydalg Remraf —figure them out for yourself. Her favorite outdoor sport is playing pop-the-whip. She fell for it right from the start.

JOHN FINNEY "Walking My Baby back home."

Better known by the name of Fohn Jinney. This black-haired boy has an unsuppressed passion for walking— ask Sarah. This same lad makes a daily canvass, finding out if the sophomores have studied their English.

QUINCE GALLOWAY A bit of charcoal or a bit of pamt Make a piece of paper what it ain't

Quince does have such a way with pencils, brushes, and ladies; but sad to state, it seems there's only one lady who has a way with him — or is that right, Quince ?

BERNICE GARRISON Going around without a frown, Always saying, "Well, blow me down!"

When Bernice spends an evening playing hearts, she always is lucky in holding a certain card—the queen of spades. Every time any one mentions her Christmas present she turns a deep pink-— I wonder why?

MABEL HEDGES A conscientious worker, but in for a good time.

Mabel is always having something or other to do with some kind of party—just any old kind— it doesn't make any difference to her. But we've got to hand it to her— she doesn't mind working at them.

SARAH JOHNSON It's the little things that make life sweet — especially if they get around pen and paper.

Sarah is the little lass responsible for that great literary piece —the Hall of Blame. She writes other bits of whatnot, but we'll not suggest them here. Her favorite sport is riding—tree riding.

LA VONNE KYLE Terrible spendthrift — of her tongue.

LaVonne is going to be a school teacher next year—yes, sir. Every time we see LaVonne she is on her way to see a school board—not about a dog—about a position. Here's luck to her.

DOROTHY MARTIN Sometimes serious, sometimes comical, but always right.

Dorothy represents the brain of junior college. When anyone is doubtful about his lesson, he runs to Dorothy for aid —and she has saved many a stude from flunking. Why, Lucille was lost in cooking class when Dorothy was out — she had to do all the, scrubbing and dish washing.

VIRGINIA McCULLOCH "My toast to the girl with a heart and a smile Who makes this bubble of life worthwhile."

It isn't fair for one person to be so pretty, so smart, and so sweet rolled into one. But Virginia is all that, without exaggeration.

ALDO MOLINARI Unconscious goodness is he crown of human excellence.

All our athletes should be gentlemen, like Aldo. He incorporates all the virtues of a gentleman and a real man. Why don't: the rest of our boys take lessons from him ?

GLADYS MOORE She has ability, brains, and most everything else, but she lacked two hours credit.

'Twill be a marvel to us if Gladys's fair brow is not wrinkled and lined by this time. She has been worried practically the whole year, for fear she'd lack two hours of having enough to graduate. And those worrisome tennis matches— VINCENT NARISI A good heart is worth gold.

Big Narisi just loves green, especially for bathing suits. We are sure that a green football sweater would have been more becoming—but this is not a green college—oh yeah ?

CAROLYN PATTON "/ count no time lost that I give to pleasure."

If all the girls at Alma are like Carolyn, we wish more would come to Jaycee. She's mighty pleasant company, and not at all hard to look at.

JOHN H. PAYNE A conscientious and willing worker — ask Margaret.

There should be a law to keep him out of a math class with us poor ordinary students. But we surely like John — and so does Margaret.

JEAN PRESSON A pleasing personality is a perpetual letter of introduction.

Jean has the kind of beauty that isn't skin deep. It's inside, and shines through two clear blue eyes like welcome sunshine on a winter's day.

HARRY ROBINSON "Shut Up!"

Now that Harry is graduated, what will the school do for a president each year? Every year he has been president of his class, so it's nearly an old Spanish custom.

ROBERTA SALZMAN Strollin' along the way of life.

Without a care or any strife.

If we were all as good natured as Roberta, could play tennis as well, do accounting, and—well, just be as good as Roberta, then St. Peter could throw away the keys and let us all in.

Always smiling, never crying Always trying, never sighing.

Too bad all that wealth of golden hair can't be used to raise the gold standard or something—but then it does make the other girls cast envious glances.

BETTY SPEER // being happy were a crime, she would get a life sentence.

Huh! oh—pardon! Betty wasn't listening. But then it doesn't matter, because she isn't interested in the "old gal" to whom Shelley wrote his silly old poems.

CLAUDE WILSON "Ah, beggar that I am! I am even poor in Calcu'us."

All that grit and determination on Claude's face during' football season—alas! is lacking- in history and English. One can't tackle Mr. Cox and Miss Krehbiel as one tackles the opposing halfback.

KING YARBROUGH The King after Marjorie's heart.

Miss Krehbiel always knew that King wasn't absent—just tardy— because Marjorie didn't get to the trysting place on time. But now—poor King is too far away to be even tardy.

JACK BILLINGSLEY Better be happy than wise.

Jack is one of the most ardent followers of Old Man Morpheus, the well-loved God of Sleep. But don't get him wrong, for he certainly can be active and talkative—especially in education.

COACH F. M. KEITH Coach "Dick" Keith deserves all the credit for the success of the football team this year.

Though handicapped by his small squad of inexperienced players, he made a team that won the Arkansas Junior College Championship.

Mr. Keith went to school at Texas Tech., where he played tackle and was rated as one of the best players in the state.

He set an example on the playing field, not only by his brilliant work, but also by his clean character. He has gained the respect and admiration not only of the squad but also of other teams and coaches by his sportsmanship. The axiom that he uses in describing the team can be truthfully used as a boomerang for himself—"He did the work to his own satisfaction."

GALLOWAY

As the season progressed, a few men were outstanding for their all-round playing ability, and were hailed as Fort Smith's most able gridmen.

Standing out among these was Quince Galloway, Lions' center and captain. Quince came from Van Buren, where he played high-school football. The most admirable of all Galloway's attributes were his courage, his spirit, and his sportsmanship. He set an example that his opponents fear and respect. He was ever undaunted and always reliable.

At no time did he flinch, and at all times he performed his duties gallantly, effectively, and commendably.

MOLINARI

GALLOWAY

WILSON

Confronted with the task of building a football team of light and inexperienced men, Coach Dick Keith worked valiantly for a winning combination. With only Wilson, Molinari, Galloway, Narisi, and Robinson left from last year's squad, Coach Keith was forced to rely on the freshman class for his squad. The team made a slow start and gradually gained momentum,. The boys played clean, hard football, and although th^y dropped more games than they won, the victorious games were the ones that enabled them to be Arkansas Junior College Champions.

The Lions opened their season with a journey to Miami for a night game. There they met a heavier and more experienced team. The Lions played hard football and showed an excellent defense, but were completely baffled by a passing attack and came out on the short end of a 26-0 score.

Their next opponents were the strong Subiaco Academy eleven. Both teams were hampered somewhat by the extreme heat and the dust on the field. They battled on even terms until Lucken, Subiaco's star half-back, broke loose for the only score of the day. The Lions again showed a great defense in this game, but lacked an offense.

After a week of hard drill, the Keith forces tracked to Wilburton, where they met the strong Eastern Oklahoma College aggregation. This was the strongest team the Lions met this year, and probably the heaviest.

E. 0. C. started a team that averaged well over 200 pounds. Spotting this team, 50 pounds to the man, the Lions outcharged, outfought, and held

them scoreless for three-and-a-half quarters. The weight and frequent substitutions on the part of the E. 0. C. team finally wore down the Lions' defense and enabled them to score three touchdowns in the last part of the fourth quarter. The score was 19-6. The Lions' lone tally came in the third quarter, when Rex Fine intercepted an enemy pass and ran 95 yards for a touchdown.

ElDorado was the next on the menu for the Lions. This was the Lions home debut and they made an impressive performance by winning a 20-6 victory.

In less than a week the Lions went to Morrilton to meet the Harding College Bisons. This was a hard game played in a high wind and the Bisons won 12-6.

Monett handed the Lions a beating on their own field. The team played well and was ahead at the half, but injuries aided the visitors. The score was 19-7.

The next and last game was with Little Rock Junior College. This game created unusual interest, because the championship was at stake. The two elevens were evenly matched the greater part of the game, although the mud bothered both. In the last quarter the Lions opened a drive from their 20 yard line for a touchdown. Cut Alford was the big gun in this eighty yard advance for a touchdown and the Arkansas Junior College Championship.

COACH JOHN R. THOMPSON

The success of our team is due largely to the patience, faith, and knowledge of Coach "Long John" Thompson. His ability as a coach is shown by the team he made from a squad handicapped by lack of experience, height, and numbers. He came from Hendrix, where he was their most outstanding athlete, lettering in track, basketball, and football. He held seven track records at one time and is still in possession of the high jumping record. He has worked just as hard in developing this team as he did when participating in athletics himself. He not only knew what to do, but could do it himself. We thank Mr. Thompson and sincerely hope that he will never leave us.

Tennis is now the major sport in the junior college. It was started in the spring of '31, with Gene Browne as captain and the rest of the team composed of Quince Galloway, Harry Robinson, and John Houston Payne. A number of matches were played, notably those with Harding College.

Early in the spring of '32, the tennis players again got together and organized a team with Billy Eshelman as captain. The rest of the squad was made up of Quince Galloway, Bruce Keller, Bronte Medlin, Harry Robinson. Bill Mapes, Neal McCord, Hickman Weakley, and John Houston Payne.

Matches with Harding College, the College of the Ozarks, Arkansas Tech, Subiaco, and Little Rock Junior College were arranged for early in the season.

The Girls' Tennis Team was chosen from the membership of the tennis club, a new organization in the college, this year. Under the guidance of Gladys Moore, fifteen members signed up for the tournament that opened March 1. Preliminary matches were completed by March 15, and the team was chosen from those who made the quarter-finals, plus one other member of the club.

Unusual interest has been manifested in the team, and it is felt that each year1 will evoke greater interest and develop athletics for the girls in the college. It is the purpose of the tennis club to select and promote its team each year, selected by means of the tournament, and to enter the winners of the semi-finals in the tournament of other junior colleges.

These inter-collegiate matches will foster a more lasting interest in girls' tennis.

Miss Warmack, head of the women's physical education department, has contributed greatly to the enthusiasm for a team by her helpful coaching and cooperation.

The five girls selected for the team are: Gladys Moore, Roberta Salzman, Mike May, Wilhelmina Conner, and Bernice Vaughn.

The various organizations in the college have stimulated interest and promoted school spirit as no curricular activity could do. Within the number to be found, is at least one which will appeal to each and every student.

Organizations of scholastic and honorary types are represented in the honorary fraternity of Theta Phi Kappa, which provides an incentive to high scholastic achievements.

For those interested primarily in the affairs of the times—politics and contemporary history—the college offers the forum. Membership is not restricted; the club is open to all who wish to join. This organization has proved to be quite popular and has presented many interesting discussions of news and views.

In the social field of activity, the girls are attracted to a local organization, Zeta Phi Beta. Membership is restricted to election by members.

The club has been active in promoting social functions in the school, and is a great factor in encouraging fellowship.

To the staff of the Numa and of the Lion's Din we are indebted as to no other part of the student body. The Numa staff has endeavored to make this yearbook an organized history of this school year 1932-1932. The biweekly newspaper, The Lion's Din, is published by college students, with the help of the student print shop.

The dramatic club is composed of members of the dramatic arts class which has devoted its time to the study of plays, to giving plays, to modern playwrights, and to organizations in the world of drama and the theatre.

The student council has represented the student body in all affairs concerning the students and the faculty. It is composed of the officers of the two classes.

The officers of these organizations are ever conscious of their duties; they make sincere efforts to cause members to attend meetings, and try to conduct them in a manner fitting to the college. From football games to formal banquets, the members of these organizations are the backbone of the school. They support every collegiate activity, and are such a vital factor that we should be lost without them.

HARRY ROBINSON JR. PRESIDENT OF STUDENT BODY

At the beginning of the first semester, we adopted as our objective the idea of making this year one of the best in the history of the school, to establish a feeling of unity among the students.

We have worked under a great handicap due to the fact that we have housed with the students of the Senior High School. In spite of this disadvantage, it is my opinion, that the junior college has worked on to the best of its ability.

We are facing the close of the last semester, not with a feeling of discouragement and disappointment in our years' work, but with a gladness in our hearts that we have attended Junior College.

There is a feeling of real friendship between us and a spirit of cooperation has been established everywhere.

I believe if I were asked to describe the year's accomplishments in a few words, I would call it establishment of school spirit and loyalty.

A new idea in history reference work was carried out this year when a history forum was organized in the Fort Smith Junior College.

This organization is made up of both freshman and sophomore and history classes, and is conducted entirely by the students. R. A. Cox, professor of history and originator of the society, is sponsor. Membership in the organization is entirely voluntary.

The purpose of the forum is to develop interest among the students for currents events, and to discuss the affairs of the day. This society also . helps train students in speaking before an audience.

As a special program for one meeting, a talk on the American Legion was given by Henry Armstrong, of Fort Smith. Another extra program was held when the forum conducted a miniature of its regular programs at a meeting of the Parent-Teacher's Association.
