WEST ENTRANCE

The high quality of the work and the groivth of the junior college have been the result of the activities of the administrative officials.

The administration has not only worked faithfully in the classroom, but has also supported us in all our activities.

President of College MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT Foregoing this year the customary message from the president of the college, we are devoting this space instead to a message to J. W. Ramsey, the president and the man.

We wish to express our appreciation, Mr. Ramsey, for the work you have done for our college and for us. Through your efforts Fort Smith Junior College has seen and will continue to see greater advancement. We realize this through the steady increase in enrollment, the expansion of the curriculum to include greater fields of learning, the construction of the new stadium, and their consequent advantages to us. We, the students, realize a little of the enormous amount of time and effort you spend for cur good, and we sincerely thank you for it.

Dean of College

As dean of the junior college, Mr. Cook has proved to be ever friendly and understanding. We believe he, is every bit as proud of the junior college as we are, and much of the good reputation of the school may be attributed directly to his influence. Because he is always helpful and interested in us, we will never forget the valuable example he has set.

ELMER COOK

Assistant Dean

In this, Mr. Reynolds' first year as assistant dean, he has more than justified our faith in him. Truly interested in students and in the junior college, Mr. Reynolds has been responsible for many of the creditable enterprises carried on by our school. Every student will remember him as one of the most admirable and dependable men we have ever known.

J. W. REYNOLDS

Advisers

MISS MARY K. SETTLE All through our school years we have admired and respected our Dean of Women.

May we always have such a friend ready and willing to help us to be real men and women.

DOLPH CAMP Mr. Camp has won the respect of every student through his real friendliness and interest in us. He has always been sympathetic and reliable. His high ideals and fine character will continue to help every one of us.

School Board

Left to right: W. L. Curtis; Frank W. Dyke; J. W. Ramsey, Superintendent of Schools; J. R. Woods, President; Dr. A. A. Blair; W. G. Shipley, Vice President; John P. Woods.

Fort Smith Junior College, in common with all Fort Smith schools, is fortunate in having on its school board men who are of the highest type in the business and'legal professions and who have the greatest possible interest in the student body. This combination has led to a marked improvement in the outlook of the students as a whole. The school board, through its indirect yet close contact with junior college students, has been able to see more fully than formerly was possible into the problems of the school and to recognize the barriers in the way of whole-hearted co-operaticn between the administration and those whom it governs. It is confidently expected that coming years will see successful continuation of the improvements in Fort Smith Junior College which have begun so favorably.

The freshman year in college is always one of the most difficult. Students find it hard to bridge the gap between high school and college studies. Every freshman remembers and appreciates the understanding and sympathy of both teachers and other students. The freshman class, too, will have pleasant memories of Fort Smith Junior College.

The improved record of the junior college basket ball team started a rising tide of popular support for athletics. Junior college track, tennis, and bowling teams were organized, and gave creditable performances. With the school spirit shown in the last year as a foundation, future junior college athletics should be even more successful than ever before.

Our Coaches

JOHN R. THOMPSON Admired by all who know him for his clean principles and high ideals of sportsmanship, Coach Thompson possesses the admirable ability of taking defeat with a smile, victory without egotism. Though hampered by lack of material, hs has produced some of the scrappiest teams in this section during the past six years.

"Long John" Thompson draws his ability as a coach from his record as an athlete.

While a student at Hendrix college,' he starred in basket ball and set seven state track records, one of which stands today.

MISS JEANNE BAILEY As a newc mer to the faculty of Fcrt Smith Junior College, Miss Bailey has been faced with the task of coaching one of the largest physical educalicn classes for women ever enrolled here. She not cnly attempts to develop the athletic abilities of her classes, but believes that athletics may be used for the development of charm and giace of body.

Miss Bailey attended school at Indiana University and received her Bachelor cf Arts degree at MacMurray College, Jacksonville, Illinois. She was well known in athletic circles at both colleges.

The bowling league originated when a few of the regular junior college bowlers decided to team up to create a little competition. Interest rapidly spread, several teams being formed even in the high school. Charley's Alleys was the scene of many lively matches.

Jim Foster Maurice Fitzgerald Joe Goebel Herbert Casey Newell Wilson Gipson "Stude" Stevinson

The 1937 edition of Lions displayed noticeable improvement over the 1936 team.

Though only three lettermen returned, the team as a whole boasted a little more experience. But with this experience being so diverse in character and with the usual lack of material, Coach Thompson was faced with the problem of building a virtually new team. This he did, the result being the best in several seasons. The true worth of the 1937 Lions is apparent when we compare their noticeably improved record with their noticeably tougher schedule.

As exponents of the college's major sport, the Lions deserve the appreciation of the entire student body.

CARL YOUNG "Sleepy" is a first-year letterman.

He is former Grizzly material, having won honors in the prep school ranks. An excellent shot and speedy passer, he would be an asset to any man's team.

MAURICE FITZGERALD "Fitzy" is another Pooch who did not know the meaning of "quit."

He may be small, but "mighty" was the word. He was a scrapper from whistle to whistle and was responsible for a number of scores during the 1937 season.

NEWELL WILSON "Woo-Tent," as he is called by his teammates, conies from Van Buren Pointer stock. He is a track man and basketball player de luxe. He did an excellent job at guard and at relieving Durham at center. He will probably be back next year to take the center's responsibilities.

JOHN EARLE McKENNON "Dubby" is a forward who came here two years ago from St. Anne's, lettering his first year. He was a hard worker this season and a consistent floor-man.

HERBERT CASEY "Chesty" was not only a newcomer to the squad, but was also in his first year as a basket ball player.

Developing fast, his hard work and determined efforts helped in many ways.

BEN MAYO "Rosey," though not a long shot himself, was exceptionally good on the long shots to the basket. He proved himself, in this, his first season with the Lions, to be a real player. He comes from Grizzly stock, and is notable for his cheerfulness and good sportsmanship.

JOE DURHAM "Bull" has finished his fourth year as center for the Lions. During this time, he has shown exceptional qualities as a leader and a teammate. His ability as a basketball player has made him captain in nearly every game during the last two years.

JIM FOSTER "Turnip" was a Lion in 1935, attended Arkansas Tech for a year, then came back to play for the junior college this season. He was especially valuable for his levelheaded play. He kept his head and never lost his temper. They could not get blood out of this "Turnip."

GIPSON STEVINSON If the team lost, it was "Stude's" fault. If the team won, well— "Stude" was no help. In other words, outwardly the team gave "Stude" the blame for the bad, no credit for the good. But that was outwardly. Though they tossed him all the tough breaks, inwardly they all appreciated what he was doing for them. They knew they couldn't get along without him.

He was a friend and a big help But don't tell him they said so.

RAY SPYRES "Pouch," being one of the "Three "Musketeers" (Pooches to you), was as nimble with the ball as he is with his tongue. He coupled speed and effort with natural ability to become one of the Lions' outstanding players. Ray sports two stripes on his sweater this year.

DALE McCOY "Tim" is another Grizzly product who made good on the junior college team. His speed and fast thinking accounted for many points this season. His unfailing courage when the going was hard kept up the morale of the team.

JOE GOEBEL "Sloppy Joe" was a holdover from last year's squad. He has the morale and fight of such vital importance in a basket ball player. His knowledge of the tricks of the trade comes from four years of play.

Tennis For the last several years tennis in the Fort Smith Junior College has lagged considerably. For a time a tennis club existed only in name, until in 1936 it disappeared entirely from our group cf organizations. But the spring of 1937 has seen a new interest in this sport in the college. A new organization was mustered by a group of lively and enthusiastic young men, and a Fort Smith Junior College championship tournament was staged. The champion of this tournament, Newell Wilson, and three others, Ben Mayo Jr., Billy Freemon, and Gene Godt, who reached the semi-final brackets, formed the junior college team. Immediately they set to work to secure matches with other college teams in the Southwest.

Outstanding, matches of the season: against Arkansas Tech at Russellville and here at Tilles park.

Softball The fabled "Orioles," a name jokingly applied to an attempt on the part of junior college men to form a mock athletic club several years ago, are no longer a joke. They are a competent group of teammates who have shown their prowess on local softball diamonds this spring.

Organized by Gene Godt (subsequently made captain) in the spring of 1936, the Orioles brought grief to teams formed by organizations in Fort Smith High School.

This spring the team has not only played the high school groups, but also has sought out independent teams as well.

Track Track has not been developed in the Fort Smith Junior College to a very great extent. Lack of material and equipment has hampered us in the past, but with the construction of the new stadium, athletic field, and track a new interest in this sport has been born. In an intra-mural track meet held early in the season to give the high school team a work-out, junior college men competed against the three high school classes. The victorious Lions amassed 51 points to 28 for their nearest opponents. This victory convinced the Lions that, though it was too late to develop anything for 1937, they have great possibilities for the 1938 season, and they are anxious for a chance to prove it.

EAST ENTRANCE

Student organizations hold a prominent position in junior college affairs. Naturally, the aims and ideals of the various organizations found on the campus vary, but all of them exist for the purpose of giving the students a "more abundant life"—to add to their education that which cannot be found in books.

No empty honor is election to Theta Phi Kappa. A student must not only rate scholastically in the upper ten per cent of the college to be considered for membership in the organization, but also he must remain in the, upper ten per cent to retain membership. Selected after one, semester or more in school here, Theta Phis are the best students in Fort Smith Junior College.

These four represented Fort Smith Junior College in 1937 forensic contests.

They revived an activity not seen since debate in the junior college was under the coaching of R. A. Cox. Dodd and Simpson, Mayo and Whiteside did admirable work in arguing both sides of the question, "Resolved, that congress should be empowered to set minimum wages and maximum hours for industry." Outstanding debate of the year: against Texas Christian University debaters here.

As one of the greatest forces of advertising the junior college has, the band has just completed its second year of organization. Applauded by the high school for the popular music they offer, popularly received in the small towns they visit because of their exceptionally good programs, the band is not only making a name for itself as an organization but also for Fort Smith Junior College as well.

Vassar Dean Of Men Says World Is Wallowing Helplessly In A Slough Of Despond

Students of Fort Smith junior college voted against new regulations introduced by J. W. Reynolds, assistant dean, in an assembly held today. The rules, drawn up by a faculty committee, would have made a radical change in the conduct of junior college students.

"It has long been a custom in this college," said Mr. Reynolds, at the beginning of the meeting, "for the student to spend two hours of outside preparation for each class assignment. We feel that too much stress is being laid upon the educational side, and not enough upon the social side of college life."

Mr. Reynolds concluded his announcement by reading the new regulations, which were: 1. No student will be required to take more than five hours per semester in order to graduate.

2. All students making an average grade of "F" or above will be excused for all tardies and cuts.

3. Every member of junior college must belong to at least five organizations. All organizations must have at least o-ne social meeting per week.

4. No student may spend more (Continued on page two)

Discussing the current chaotic condition of the world, Herman H. Hosmer, dean of men at Vassar, Tuesday night delivered the lecture to end all lectures in the high school auditorium. The lecture was sponsored by the International Relations Club.

"America is perishing; Europe is tottering to destruction; Asia is a hot bed of insurrection," said Mr. Hosmer. "We are wallowing helplessly in the Slough of Despond.

Stop me if you've heard this one: we have want in the midst of plenty; capitalism has failed. Poverty rears its ugly head on all sides."

Declaring that the people, needed a Moses to lead them out of this morass, Mr. Hosmer developed this idea, finally declaring that he was the leader for which the country was searching. The speaker bases his plan for the revival of prosperity on a shorter working week. "In fact," he shouted, "weeks are too long, considering the length of the days! Who arranged the twentyfour hour day? The capitalists!

Who decreed there should be seven days to a week? Wall Street! Who (Continued on page four)

SWORDFISH TO HOLD A PINFISH INITIATION Swordfish members will meet at the home of the Swoffords for a pinfish initiation next Wednesday night. All Swordfish are asked to bring large white handkerchiefs (for blind-folds) and two earthworms. Spaghetti will be satisfactory in case the worms cannot be obtained.

Pinfish to be initiated are Jim Foster, Reginald Reeves, Doris Nelle, Charles. Haynes, and Helen Lairamore.

All frogs cut up by zoology students this semester will also be present.

HERMAN H. HOSMER D e a n of men at Vassar tells large audience of chaotic condition of current world affairs.

CONDREY EXPOSES DAME EVIL Junior College Student Warns Men Against Unscrupulous, Conniving Females Rupert Condrey was the main speaker in a special assembly for junior college men called last Thursday to discuss the dame evil.

Mr. Condrey gave a long dissertation about his disillusionment in early life by an unscrupulous woman. He frequently quoted passages from John Erskine's "The Influence of Women, and the Cure," dedicated to the men of America (those who remain).

"She built me up to an awful letdown," said Mr. Condrey. "She was a female cad! I know nothing better than to warn you men against such conniving females so that you may save yourselves in time and may all live happy, tranquil lives.

After much struggling following my disillusionment, I have finally made my life happy, but is it tranquil ? Well, you can lead a horse—" Following an overwhelmingburst of applause Mr. Condrey called for open discussion. All of those asking questions wanted to know the young lady's name and telephone number.

QUARTET TO OFFER ASSEMBLY PROGRAM The Orioles, junior college men's quartet, will warble their best in the high school assembly next Thursday. They will offer thre^ numbers, "My Blue Heaven," "The Skies of Blue," and "Listen to the Mocking Bird."

The quartet was newly-organized this semester, practicing during their journalism class. Members are Joe Hasler, bass; Gene Godt, baritone; Billy Freemon, tenor; and Doris Nelle, soprano.

Miss Frances Weekly, sponsor of the group, will also sing on the program. Her selection will be 'Wake Up And Take Joy Home."

Lessons? What For? Why should we lose our sleep over such a small and unimportant thing as getting lessons ? We're much smarter than those who try to teach us. We have no need for study.

Some teachers expect us to drop everything, such as parties and shows and things, just to write a report or theme, or to read two chapters in a book. Why? We, the student body of the junior college, protest. We want more time and less work. Let's adjourn school and go swimming every day.

Jt would be much more educational.

Instead of learning that x equals y, or that Shakespeare died in 1616, -we would learn what fish and plants live in water, how to swim, .and that sunburn is the hot stuff.

Let's* have more time. Don't get your lessons for tomorrow. Leave that to the teacher. He'll leave you—with zeros!

Teachers Unnecessary Why should a college, have teachers ? All that the teachers know'is what they have learned from books.

The students are required to buy books, anyway, so why shouldn't they be allowed to learn for themselves.

This is a new era, and the habits and ideas of college students today are vastly different from those of students who went to college a few years ago. Those people who are going to school now realize that they are preparing for their life's work—that their success in the future depends upon what they accomplish today. Teachers are no longer necessary to keep these, students at their work.'

Teachers are one of the main expenses in maintaining a college.

If all the teachers were discharged,

Lectures Boring

Once In A While

"People who live in glass houses should always pull down the shades before taking a bath."

That saying, although it is many years old, can be. applied to the state of affairs in junior college today. Teachers are continually giving lectures in classes. Why should the students not draw the curtain (or line) when a deluge of high-sounding words and phrases seems imminent and inevitable?

Why should their time be taken: up with listening to long-winded speeches when it could be spent to such good advantage if it were devoted to gossip or to sleep ?

Such a situation as that in which the junior college now finds itself cannot exist long. Its very nature makes ~a change unavoidable. The students will not continue in their humble submission to the dominating ' influence under which they are now struggling. The day will come when the students will demand their rights. May the time soon come, when they will see the light.

Freshmen are a good thing to have in colleges, if they aren't too numerous or too fresh in the opinions of the sophomores who, after all, hold the most influential positions in junior college, or at least think they do even if they don't.

THE LYIN' DIN

Mr. Reynolds Says: Much has been said this year about establishing junior college traditions. We believe that this matter should be again called to your attention.

The customs of cutting at least one class each day, not preparing history reports or accounting problems, and yelling and singing in the corridor have been fairly well established.

These junior college traditions should be observed by every student.

But, furthermore, because our building is too new, we must needs make it old and usedlooking by breaking windows, chairs and tables, carving on desks and writing on the walls.

Let's remember this and give proper consideration and due attention to establishing these worthwhile traditions.

SIORDFISH END PARTY IN RIOT Big Crowd Takes Part In Skating Rink Fracas, Stating They Came To See Action Expressing delight with the evening's entertainment, junior college students ended the Swordfish skating- party Thursday night in a tooth-taking riot.

An unusually large crowd was present for the festivities, Swordfish members attributing it to previous publicity given by Miss Peggy Paddock, sponsor of the club.

Gipson Stevinson grinned through a damaged jaw and said, "We all came out to see some more action like Paddock gave us last time. It looked like nothing was going to h a p p e n at first, but we had patience. Virture has its reward, you know."

Festivities got well under way when, after a nasty fall, Jane Mosley kicked Newell Wilson in the face with her skates on. "I didn't mind so much when he tripped me and made me fall on my face," she told hospital attendants, "but when he stepped on my neck and stuck a skste wheel in my ear I became a little irated, I guess."

Plans are now being made for another skating party to take place just as soon as those who attended the one Thursday night are released from St. Edward's Mercy Hospital. The Doctors Union, Local No. 975, announced today that they would sponsor and promote as many of these parties as the junior college cared to have.

WOMEN WIN WALKING AWARD OVER WALKER Announcement of the awarding of the highest honor bestowed by the Hikers' Club of America to Billie Burnett and Barbara Allen was made today by Travis Manyleagues, national president of the organization.

Miss Burnett and Miss Allen were given the award, according to Mr. Manyleagues, because they have walked to school every day since enrolling in Fort Smith Junior College. Competing against students all over the country, the two young ladies clinched the award when their nearest runnerup, Ima Walker, of Podunk, Michigan, accepted a ride home from school with her parents on a rainy afternoon.

The trophy, a pair of copperplated track shoes, will be divided, each girl taking one shoe.

DALE TO PRESENTS HIS Complexion Expert FAIR COMPLEXION THEORY SPEAKS TO WOMEN'S GROUP Home Economics Club Hears Noted Authority Urge Immaculate Personal Appearance "Fair Complexion and Good Dress" was the subject selected by Dale McCoy for a talk which he made before the Home Economics Club today.

Tracing the development of civilization from the cave-man days to the present generation, the speaker compared modern customs and habits to those of olden times.

"Success today depends largely upon having a respectable appearance," said Mr. McCoy. "No person today should expect to advance DALE McCOY in the world unless he dresses his Speaking before the Home Ecbest at all times and keeps his complexion clear and free from onomics Club today, Dale McCoy, tonsorial statistician, discussed blemishes as far as possible."

February 22, 1937 LIONS INVITED TO PLAY IN NEW YORK John R. Thompson, coach of the junior college basket ball team, the Lions, announced today that he had received an invitation from the national basket ball champions to play an exhibition game in New York next Wednesday night in the Olympic finals.

After .some hesitation, Thompson rushed to send a telegram accepting the invitation.

With reference to the, coming game. Coach Thompson said, "I don't see why we shouldn't."

Loyal student supporters of the junior college have chartered a special train, which will leave tomorrow and arrive in New York Tuesday evening. About eight students have obtained tickets for the trip.

Some excitement was caused when "Wootent" Wilson, the mainstay of the team and most valuable playe.r on the squad, could not find his glasses-guard. Routine practice was resumed, however, when Coach Thompson discovered that the guard was being used by Franklin Jackman as protection while fencing with Jimmy Ramsey.

TOBLER TAKES TUMBLE Suffering- miscellaneous damages, received in a mix-up with the print shop cylinder press, Hamilton Tobler, Numa printing editor, was taken to the junior college nursery late today.

While demonstrating to the Numa staff how he could walk on the revolving cylinder like a lumber jack at the same time he was running off faculty pictures, Mr. Tobler tripped on a dotted "i" and fell into the rollers of the roaring press. Several members of the staff rushed to the end of the press to receive his flattened form. He was placed on the drying rack for several hours before being removed to the nursery for treatment. Several bones were broken.

"It left me flat broke," said Mr. Tobler.

SOPHOMORES HUNT FROSH A hunger-maddened mob of sophomores roamed the streets of Fort Smith late last night searching for freshmen connected with the planning of the SophomoreFreshman banquet.

Bitterness was expressed toward the donors of the banquet. Peanut butter and apricot salad was the only dish served.

Pot Pourri KNOWLEDGE

Lo, the poor Injun, with untutored mind, Lo, the poor student who's falling behind, Lo, the poor teacher who's tryin' to learn 'em.

All messin' in somethin' that doesn't concern 'em.

A fellow who's troubled with pains Is this fellow we all call Charles Haynes.

It really is sad That he can't sell an ad;

Everyday observation prompts us to say that a bachelor is a man who has been very fortunate in his love affairs. Eh, Freemon?

A sumptuous printer there was, So old that his chin boasted fuzz But this beard caused a mess When it caught in the press; Then Ham had to grow some new fuzz.

Maybe it's because of his brains.

A young lady who turns the tricks, Is curly-locked Helen Grey Vick.

She isn't fickle And she isn't mickle, That's why we think she's so slick.

Coach Thompson still declares that he stuck his foot up on the side line just to protect himself when the ball came his way in the game held here against

The psychology class finds, after painstaking research, that all men are divided into three classes: The intelligent The handsome The majority.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat "brought it home* when it printed: A student of freshman English says, We ought to mark it down, That she can remember the good old When 'neck' was only a noun.

The Co-ed's Creed we now recall: "Save the surface and you save all."

Don't worry if your grades are small, And your rewards are few.

Remember that the mighty oak Was once a nut like you.

Nowadays a town isn't judged by its population or industries, but by its parking space.

Pot Pourri Another rumor boarding at our house says that "Fitzy" dropped English because he didn't want to study foods. We quote Mr. Fitzgerald: "It was bad enough when she told us that Beer's the Plowman, but the last straw came when she wanted us to read about Pepy's Dairy."

When I've made up my mind to purge My soul of an overwhelming urge, No matter how I try, It seems that I, Just can't stop thinking of "Jingle" Burge.

Do you wonder why we call her "Jingle"?

It's because when we all mingle, And she remains aloof and single, We know one way to make her tingle.

She'll come rushing when our pockets jingle.

A girl who does things according to Hoyle Is Kathleen Doyle, While one who does them nice and tricky Is Louise Dickey.

Another who does them like a fox Is Merlene Cox. One who does things in fine shape Is Lucy Pape.

Put them all together, they spell trouble for mother.

A drummer there was named John E. Who thought he could make harmony, But the neighbors protested And he was arrested, And the judge told John it was felony.
