ADMINISTRATION To the administrative officials of Fort Smith Junior College is largely due the growth in size and quality of the school. Both in the classroom and outside, they have been our friends and guides, and to them we owe much for the lasting impressions they have made on our characters.

ADMINISTRATIO

School Board

Fort Smith Junior College, along with other Fort Smith schools, has serving on its school board a group of men of the highest type in the business and legal professions and who have the greatest possible interest in the student body. Though most of the students seldom come into direct contact with the board members, each realizes that the improvements made in the junior college in the past and those planned for the future are due largely to this group of men.

President of College

J. W. RAMSEY

To J. W. Ramsey, president of Fort Smith Junior College, we express our sincere thanks for his untiring efforts in behalf of the advancement of this institution. Through those efforts we have seen an increased enrollment and a wide expansion in the curriculum to include many subjects not previously offered here. Not only have we seen the advancement that the college has made, but we can sense its possibilities for the future; and we feel sure that with Mr. Ramsey behind it, Fort Smith Junior College will soon take its place as one of the leading institutions of learning in this section of the country.

Dean of College

ELMER COOK

For his unwavering loyalty and sympathetic interest in the advancement of Fort Smith Junior College, we are proud to have Elmer Cook as dean. Our developments into a recognized junior college owes much to his influence. Because we know that he is both helpful and dependable, we are looking forward to even greater progress in the future.

Assistant Dean

J. W. REYNOLDS

It is hard to express our thanks to J. W. Reynolds, for he has helped us in so many different ways. "Untiring" hardly expresses his work toward making this a bigger and better school in every way. Through his understanding and loyalty, he has won our friendship and admiration. We know that Mr. Reynolds will always "see if it can be arranged."

Advisers

Miss Helen Frasier "Ready, willing, and able" is our description of Miss Helen Frasier, whose readiness to co-operate or sympathize with us, willingness to help us in any way, and ability to understand and appreciate our efforts has made her our friend and companion.

Dolph Camp For his high ideals, his understanding and loyalty to us, and his unceasing efforts to help us in all of our problems, we have learned to like and admire Dolph Camp. We are sure that our acquaintance with him now will add to our characters in the future.

BUILDINGS What memories the sight of old familiar scenes around the junior college building bring back to us! Here we laughed, played— even studied and worried a bit. Here we spent many of our happiest days.

SOPHOMORES Just as an automobile goes around a bend into an unseen country, so will the sophomores soon disappear around the Great Bend of Graduation and view the unknown world beyond.

Sophomore Sponsor

HELEN FRASIER There are sponsors and sponsors, but the sophomores of Fort Smith Junior College believe they have the best of them all—Miss Helen Frasier.

Whether teaching in the classroom or helping with school activities, she has always done much more than her share in the building up of the junior college. Especially will sophomores remember Miss Frasier for her excellent sponsorship of their class. They could always depend upon her.

FRESHMEN The beginning of such a journey as we pray each individual freshman will have, warrants the division page showing the front of a streamlined vehicle. It is our sincere wish that every freshman will easily succeed in rounding the oncoming bend in this road and will be fully prepared for the long Highway of Life that looms before him.

Freshman Sponsor

MARY GEORGE MARTIN Since this year is her first in our Junior College, we are just discovering what an excellent person Mrs. Martin is. Her all-around ability makes her a well-liked teacher. We feel we are indeed fortunate to have such a person sponsoring the freshman class. Her willingness to help has led us through difficult tasks. The freshman-sophomore banquet and the all-day picnic were notable instances in which Mrs. Martin's help was valuable. The freshmen approve of their sponsor.

MEREDITH YOUNG He has been suffering- all year from high blonde pressure—poor thing! He is said to be "neat, goodlooking, lots of fun"—what more should we say?

BETTIE BUMPERS Her shining hair is her crowning glory, and with her looks and sweet personality—well, she's really got something there!

BETTYE FRANCES VICK She is awfully witty, but she really does do some serious thinking, and is often quiet, too. We are proud to call her one of us.

MARGARET PENINGER Speaking of cute, dizzy blondes!

Poor Margaret gets blamed for everything.

Don't know what would happen if she weren't here to be pushed around and made fun of. And oh, her mania for collecting signs!

EDWARD BARROW Although he has only been here this last semester, and is rather quiet, he has made many acquaintances. We hope he enjoys being with us as much as we enjoy calling- him a member of J. C.

EUGENE HENNIG The only really blond male in school. He is a considerate and likeable person, even though he seems rather quiet until you get to know him.

WALTER PATTON His goal is to be a transcontinental air pilot. Walter is a flaming youth who dislikes blondes and admits that in general he doesn't give a hoot about anything.

MARJORIE WILLIAMSON You might think Margy doesn't talk much, but if you are with her very long, you'll discover you are wrong. She is preparing for a home economics position.

LAWRENCE HALEY He is one who says "synonym" is a word used when you can't spell the word you want. He is a big fellow with the same kind of ideas.

LELAH DUNN If you want to see a original ideas about clothes, take a peep notebook. Although know her, they find friend.

collection of people and into Lelah's few really her a true

EMMA LEE BRASUELL Actress of no mean ability! Her acting in "The Enchanted Cottage" was especially effective. A hard worker, and earnest, in every way.

JERRY GEREN Ha is handsome and smart and an all-around good fellow. A few of you still think he is bashful and quiet—but you just don't know him!

NELSON SLATER "She has not only broken my heart, but she has ruined my entire evening." Nelson is quite a fellow —dippy and dizzy, but we all enjoy and like him.

BETTY BOWER No words can describe the admiration we have for Betty's athletic ability—not to mention her mental capacity! She is really a grand person to know.

JOSEPHINE STEWART Her congenial nature has made her well liked by every one. Josy has been teased much more than is her share, but she has proved that she can take it.

DAVID HUCKLEBERRY Mention a sport, especially basketball, and you'll have David started.

He is a grand sport, a good athlete, and a lot of fun.

RUSSELL TRAYLOR Girl crazy—that is what's the matter with him! Russell didn't say a word in September to anybody, but now—well, he's just different! Don't feel offended, Russell, we've got to have someone to tease.

ANITA JAMESON There is an exception to every saying. In this case, a red-haired person doesn't have such a temper.

We find her to be a quiet, amiable and sweet girl.

KENNETH MORGAN Kenneth finds it much easier to do or die, than to reason why. No sissy stuff for him—a great guy, Kenneth.

CARL FRY His thoughts, as far as we know, centered most of the time on mathematics. Since he was here only a short time, we did not get to know him as well as we would have liked.

ROBERT WEST Wow! What a basketball player!

He has become popular in this short time. We are glad to have him with us and hope he will always recall this as one of his most enjoyable semesters.

BETTY JANE WHEELER You may be under the impression that studying is all she thinks about, but did you see her "truck" before a J. C. group last fall?

Betty is always ready for fun and a lot of it.

WAYNE BOOZMAN He is one of our candid camera men (and a good one too). The majority may not think it, but he really is (at times) a deep thinker.

But—say have ever seen him shuffle those two wicked feet?

MARTHA LEE FANCHER She says her ambition is to be a primary teacher, but we rather doubt it. She h-.is a twinkle in those sparkling eyes and such a sw«et personality that—oh well, you know !

THYRA ELLEN BROCKMAN A very sweet and likeable person, even if she is a loud gum-chewer.

Thyra Ellen is always ready for fun and laughter.

DERONDA BLACKWOOD She likes Van Buren well enough to wish Bob Burns would stop advertising it his way. Deronda has a reputation for frankness and sincerity.

MORGAN SCOTT His size doesn't match his mentality. A fine student whom we all like. Don't pull the wrong tooth, Morgan! (He is going to be a dentist.)

ED KLOCK "He certainly is a good conversationalist." (Nearly all he does is listen.) A person not many really know, but well-liked by all.

^ylfc^

PAULINE SPEARS If silence were golden, she would have plenty of "jack." The opinion book said she is "very sweet and nice," which we believe.

PIKE MABRAY You can't* keep a good man down!

Pike says the bigger they are, the harder they fall. (He is a swell boxer.) Pike is already making a name for himself with his short story writing.

BOB BROOKSHER "Fight 'Em, Jr. College!" A star basketball player and a leader in all J. C. affairs—that doesn't exclude our parties, either.

BILLY DOUGHERTY These blondes! At least, we have discovered that brunettes are no more serious-minded than blondes.

It's Billy's thinking of others that makes us think of her.

NORMAN JONES We formerly thought Norman never talked of his own free will, but we brought him out of it (or at least something did). We are expecting results from him in the field of aeronautics.

NANCY VAUGHN Nancy has sought, in all ways she could, to serve the school, and she asks only that it be remembered that her intentions were good!

BETTY FERRYMAN "Palmer" really enjoys J. C., even if she does spend most of her time in the high school office. Someone's question: "Is she a college girl who pursues learning or learns pursuing?"

DUKE FREDERICK Some may consider him nit-witty, but if you want a real thinker and someone with knowledge of things in general, Duke is it. He is loads of fun and an all-around good fellow.

SHERMAN THOMPSON He will never be forgotten for his tireless "shining" when the Big Apple was staged at our parties.

He is a funny little fellow from whom we all get some fun.

RAY SLACK During the football season his specialty was sacking peanuts.

Otherwise, he thinks of almost nothing but printing. He is determined in his preparation for a vocation.

DOROTHY DOUGHERTY Who said naive? Although Dot is tops in all her subjects, she surpasses even that in dramatic ability. All the world is a stage to her.

KATHERYN SCOTT She supports our college and does her part in every way she can. She certainly seems to enjoy J. C. and all its activities. We hope she will continue to enjoy linings as much.

VIRGINIA GEAN Don't rush! Don't rush! But be sure you procure her autograph before she leaves J. C. Yes, she is the famous future opera star. Sh? possesses both beauty and brains.

LUTHER HODGES That laugh, and tthose giggles! A big practical joker, and a good actor. Luther likes work; he says 't fascinates him. He can sit and lock at it for hours.

BETTY GEAN HAMILTON "I can't ask him - - I'm going steady." But just the same there is a lot of fun to be had at school, eh, Jenny?

GEORGE ELDRIDGE There are so many nice things lhat ought to be said about George that it is hard to know which to choose. But. we do know that without him J. C. would have been in need of a staunch leader and a very popular young man.

BARRELLE ADDIS He has his mind set on being a research chemist. (He says it sounds good, anyway.) Barrelle ie known for his sense of humor.

CHRISTINE ELMORE Her red hair makes everyone take a second or even a third glance.

Besides her looks, her character and personality make a combina,tion that is hard to equal in J. C. or out.

BILL HUEY He has been teased so about wearing a bobby pin that they almost call him Bobby. He is a grand fellow and a good sport.

THELMA BEEN Speak up, Thelma! She is a little t.micl—like some of the rest of us!

She is working toward the position ji a dietitian, and we think she v.ill succeed.

FLEETA JOHNSON She is one in a thousand. What?

Well, in 500 at least. She has a bent for business and mechanical work. Gosh! She gets to be in the boys' classes.

KUPER MADDEN A red-head, but the girls say ha has a charming disposition. Kuper is in the swing in everything, and j popular with everyone.

ELIZABETH STEWARD This good-natured, likeable person has an ambition to be a technician.

And as for Van Buren, "I like it and don't like it—oh, tell 'em I like it fairly well."

JACK GLEASON His captivating eyes are proverbial with us all. He is tops in basket-ball and rates high with everyone.

PRESTON STEVENSON Without people who can present good talks on the spur of the moment, we'd—well anyway, we have Preston. He can always be depended on for a word—several, in fact.

JOHN L. SMITH He decided he had better get an education because if he didn't he would have to use his brains. John L. knows more about the Civil War than all the G. A. R.'s and U. D. C.'s combined.

CHARLES MEANS In appearance he may seem to be a languid person, but underneath this manner there is a school spirit that is found in few people. Charlie, with his "spiffy" clothes, keeps the competition keen among the boys.

DUVAL CANTWELL He is one of those who believes he'd rather give it to them than lend it, because it costs about the same anyway. He has a friendly smile and is another fun-lover.

MAE FIERCE Here is another smart person. She is quiet at school, perhaps, but when you know her, you realize she is the nicest type of girl.

DENNARD RIGGIN A tall fellow, noted for that satchel he carries so much. We wish more people could be as care-free as he appears. We hope he has learned to like Fort Smith as well as Van Buren.

ARMISTICE BYRUM Her size is no indication of her mental ability. She is a snappy, friendly, little person, and oh, that cute, peppy smile!

JACK MILLS His desire is nipped in the budget.

But no foolin', Jack is smart. You'd better watch out for him—he is a candid camera addict.

FEATURES The feature section is always one of the most interesting parts of the yearbook. It contains pictures, accounts of memorable days on the campus, and perhaps a surprise, or a laugh or two. By including new features, we have tried to make this part of the book interesting for you—both now and in the future.

Outstanding Students MERLENE COX—Merlene's enthusiasm and ability to get things done have brought her many honors, among which is the post of vice-president of the state home economics club. However, she has not failed to do all she could for Junior College. Merlene was secretary of the sophomore class, secretary of the J. C. Home Economics Club, and well-known for her journalistic work. Her pep and hearty co-operation have made her one of the most popular and well-liked students on the campus.

GEORGE ELDRIDGE—Besides being president of the student body, Eldridge was elected the most popular boy in school. He supported enthusiastically all school activities, and under his guidance the Student Board was made a real working unit in the school organization. Eldridge did much toward making the school parties successful, and he was the one who worked most for those "cute" ideas—such as the freshman initiation.

BILLIE BURNETT—Billie has been one of the most energetic people on the campus this year. She found time for club work and the Student Board, all the while doing an excellent job as editor of The Numa. Billie was elected the outstanding sophomore, and what is more distinctive, she is a member of Theta Phi Kappa, a fact which speaks for her scholarship and all-around ability.

JOHN SWOFFORD—Swofford has probably held more offices than anyone else in school. His dependability accounts for that fact. Although other work kept him busy this year, he filled efficiemtly his position as president of the sophomore class. His abilities are summarized in his title of best all-around boy.

VIRGINIA GEAN—Virginia overcame some stiff competition when she won the envied title of campus beauty. However besides that distinction, Virginia also was outstanding for her talent in dramatics, and especially for her work with the junior (college play. A fine person to have around.

The students on these pages were nominated by the faculty and the student board, the ten students receiving the highest number of votes being elected to the list. A leader in junior college should have a well-proportioned interest in scholastic as well as extra-curricular activities. It is essential that he work for the school and contribute his share to some phase of its program, and these pages are a means of recognizing that service.

Outstanding Students BETTYE FRANCES VICK—Bettye Frances was recognized as the best all-around "We should try to succeed by girl and the college wit, two distinctions merit, not favor. He who does well she earned because of her athletic ability, will always have patrons enough." her musical talent, and her cleverness in —Plautus any situation. When Bettye Frances was around, there was never a dull moment.

"View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, BILLY FREEMON—"B. Freemon" made And then deny him merit if you friends and kept them, and that quality caused him to be a welcome member of can. several organizations. He served the school Where he falls short, 'tis Nature's as vice-president of the student body, as fault alone editor of The Lion's Din, and as an enthusWhere he succeeds, the merit's all iastic member of the basketball squad. The his own."

Student Board could always depend on Billy —Churchill to consider carefully any project at hand and then do his share to put it over.

NANCY VAUGHN—Nancy did her share, and more, on any project she was asked to help with. She yelled lustily at the basketball games; she made everyone feel at home at the parties; and she did a splendid job as secretary of the student body. Her pet project was the organization of the girls' basketball team. Her election as most popular girl and outstanding freshman speak for her personality.

BOB BROOKSHER—Brooksher, besides being elected the most handsom e boy in school, had the honor of being president of the freshman class during the first semester and those trying days of freshman initiation. "Fight 'em" was a leader wherever he went—at a party or on the basketball court.

HELEN LAIRAMORE—Helen made a good president for the Home Economics Club and worked hard for the I. R. C. Wherever fun was, Helen was, and her outstanding characteristic was her pep and school spirit.

ORGANIZATIONS The various organizations of a college help students to make and strengthen lasting friendships, A student's character is molded to a great extent by the activities in which he participates.

Although students elected to the Theta Phi Kappa must rank in the upper ten per cent of the college in scholarship, they are by no means of the traditional "book worm" type.

They also excel in character, leadership, and service. Theta Phi Kappas represent that group which endeavors to maintain the scholastic standards of the Junior College.

ATHLETICS Although the junior college did not participate in inter-collegiate sports this year, it entered a team in the city basketball league. The Lions were inexperienced, but they fought all the way and made a fair showing.

Men's organized intra-mural sports introduced for the first time as a regular part of J. C. sports, were very successful. A spirit of keen enthusiasm was manifested and competition was spirited.

ATHLETICS

Coaches

Mrs. Mary George Martin New to our junior college last September, Mrs. Mary George Martin has made rapid progress in advancing sports for women in our school. She has, through the superior training she gives, also done a great deal toward developing physical grace and beauty in the J. C. women.

Mrs. Martin is a graduate of Galloway College and has done post-graduate work at Colorado University.

One of the most notable of her achievements was participation in the "Play Day" sponsored by the College of the Ozarks last April.

Bruce

Bevens

A newcomer to our school last semester, Coach Bruce Bevens has done much to boost basketball to an alltime high in Fort Smith Junior College. Before coming to our school, Coach Bevens headed the athletic departments in other schools for six years.

His promotion of athletics in the junior college has been eminently successful. He began the '37-'38 season with an inexperienced squad, but before the season was very well under way he had developed it into a very commendable team.

Coach Bevens received his B. S. degree from the University of Oklahoma and his master's degree from the University of Cincinnati.

Boys' Basketball

The first day of practice last fall found eight freshmen reporting to a new coach for basketball practice. From that day until the end of the season, the Lions rapidly overcame the handicap of inexperienced players.

Special recognition should be given Preston

Stevenson, who was runner-up for high scoring honors in the City League, and to Bob West, a redhead from Lavaca who entered school at mid-term and developed into the mainstay of the team.

Girls' Basketball

Sports for girls develop slowly in most colleges, and our own school has been no exception. Until this year the only sports for girls were basketball and softball, but with the introduction of intra-mural sports, such games for girls as archery, badminton, track and tennis, and numerous other minor sports, were added. The principal opponents for the Junior College teams were the G. A. A. high school teams. oven on the final number of games won and lost.

In the end, they broke

Minor Sports Archery Archery was brought into the field of J. C. intra-mural sports this year. Up-to-date equipment was bought, and by the end of the semester, the bullseye was as full of holes as a sieve through the work of the experts produced by Instructors Shuller and Camp.

Tennis For the first time in the history of the college, tennis courts have been readily accessible; therefore, both the boys' and girls' teams were the best ever produced in the school. The boys' team competed in the state college tournament held by the Arkansas Polytechnic College at Russellville,. T|he team was composed of Billy Freemon, Luther Hodges, Jack Exall, and Bob Brooksher.

Golf Little Bill Mosley, of the freshman class, led the field in the intra-mural finals at Rolling-Knolls by holding his score at par for the 18 holes. Duke Frederick and Gipson Stevinson were runners-up for the title. These three took part in the state college tournament at Russellville last spring.

Frederick, the Great (otherwise known as "Duke") was crowned king of the paddles when the "nursery" undertook the problem of holding an intra-mural hit-'n-miss tournament. Out of the twenty-five contestants, Duke emerged on top. It is believed thatb his super-perfect backhand had a lot to do with it when he took Exall three sets straight in the finals.

Bowling The intra-mural bowling season ended early in the second semester. Billy Freemon, John Swofford and Gordon Dodd were the champions of the season. Of the intra-mural teams, the Pooches won the championship, being followed closely by the Jaybirds, Jeeps, and Orioles.
