Qualities of Vines Under the leadership of Dr. E. T. Vines, Fort Smith Junior College is becoming a model for other community colleges in the state. Dr. Vines has spent much of his time studying the concept of two year educational institutions and their place in the community. Dr. Vines came to Fort Smith Junior College in 1952 and served in the capacity of business manager for one year. The following year he was appointed Dean of the College and later became President upon the retirement of Mr. Elmer Cook. He received his Ed.D. degree from George Peabody College of Nashville, Tennessee. According to President Vines, the major purposes of a junior college are manifold: the shaping of an academic program comparable to the first two years of any four year institution, an adult education program, and an adequate technical program for the provision of trained labor for industry. The fulfillment of these dreams are continually in the front of his mind; working daily to satisfy the standards set.
Top: Contemplation is expressed on the face of the President pertaining to J. C. being state supported. Right: Doctor Vines listens to advice administered to several bewildered students during registration.

Dean's Office Is Busiest on Campus
Dean Breedlove appears to be looking ahead to the many and important things looming in the future of this 37 year old junior college.
The measure of a man must be determined, to some extent, by the manner in which he responds to pressure. Dean Shelby Breedlove qualifies for, at the death of Dean Tom Fullerton, he was catapulted into the busiest administrative chair on the campus. This year some of the pressure is off for Dean Breedlove has been relieved of some of the duties had in 1965; he was not only Dean of the college, but coached our Lions and was Dean of men as well. The first semester, however, is the toughest. During this time he must carry out his administrative duties, meet the new students, confer with parents, and teach. Although he is an easygoing person, Dean Breedlove takes all his work seriously. His concern is the individual student and his relative success in the first year of college. It is obvious, talking to him, that he has respect for youth and the future in them.
Below: "Coach Breedlove prepares to leave the campus on one of public relations jaunts. At right he listens intently to a student.
Top: There is never a dull moment during the innumerable and regular duties performed by the Dean of Women, Miss Lucille Speakman. Beloiv: Dean Speakman gives advice which proves to be helpful to a bewildered student during the annual fall semester registration.

JC Women Have Conduct Pattern The Dean of Women of Fort Smith Junior College, Miss Lucille Speakman, has a busy day every day; as any of the women students will tell you. In addition to the innumerable and varied regular duties performed by our Dean, she also has the responsibility of teaching two classes of Western Civilization. Of her many duties, the personal conferences she holds with the women students are the most important. This year the problem is multiplied due to the increased enrollment our college is enjoying. In spite of this Miss Speakman finds time to talk to the faculty and to parents who are concerned with their children and the problems which confront them. Dean Speakman reflects all of the many faces of this important position; faithful and versatile, she is able to adapt to her personal philosophy and that of the college. It is for this reason that she commands the respect and honor of all who know her.

Runner Reflects Faceted New Job
In the office atop the stairs there is a pair of most useful items from which advice, admonishment, warnings, and corrections are issued to all male members of the student body; a chair and a desk. These are the property of Mr. Robert Runner, Dean of Men. The prospects of a first visit turns a freshman's hair white. But that is not malice on his face, but a look of concern his position brings with it. Mr. Runner smiles easily, as you can see when he walks about the campus; perhaps wondering about the placement of the new buildings the proposed Community College Bill would bring, or as he thinks about the discussion he and Mr. Howard had earlier. Mr. Runner holds a place of importance in the life of every male student.
Work never stops even outdoors. For there are things to sign, check and direct. More students bring more work, decisions and direction. Even with these many problems and worries there is still a smile. Prayer or thought does not ease the task of making decisions; nor does it add to the students peace of mind.
Sunshine and quite brings a smile that erases the lines of work.

One of the many duties of Mr. Harold Hile, Director of Student Personnel, is discussing available job opportunities to students.
Old Department Has New Title
As the head of a new department Mr. Hile finds it challenging and worth the satisfaction which he receives from his daily duties,.
Mr. Harold Hile started his third year at Fort Smith Junior College with a new title; he is now Director of Student Personnel. The title may be different this year, but the job is the same. He supervises the studentteacher advisory system, student counseling service, student financial aid, employment, teaches and is sponsor of the F.S.J.C. Student Board. Freshmen first come into contact with his office just prior to orientation when he administers the Freshman English Examination; later they find him around when the various organizations begin to get underway. Mr. H. works with these groups to help them with their goal, morale and discipline. At the end of the school year Mr. Hile is the carrier of Fort Smith Junior College's message to the graduating seniors of the many high schools in this area. The fruits of this public relations work was harvested this year when our college enjoyed its largest enrollment in history. 33
FSJC Departments Headed by Outstanding Persons Fort Smith Junior College is privileged to have an unique group of people which comprises our faculty. This dedicated group strives for the betterment of the college and its students. As each college year begins the faculty grows, this past year was no exception. The sole unity of the different departments helps to enable to reach a goal for a better curriculum offered here in day, night and special courses. The growing pains which develop each year are felt by many and thus a traditional landmark, Old Main, will meet its fate when it will give way to a new Math and Science building which is hoped to be completed by the beginning of the next fall semester. Unselfishness and outstanding personalities characterize the work of the faculty and they perform all their activities for the betterment of the school and what it stands for. Adaptable, versatile and faithfulness to their profession commands respect of all who know them. Because of their interest they assist many students every day who need understanding and encouragement. All of the skills taught in each department lies in the realm of preparing students for their future and goals. Training through these skills enables the eligibility of obtaining a better placement in their field of intended endeavor. Upon completion of instruction here at Fort Smith Junior College students either have completed all necessary instruction for their profession or they need to better prepare themselves by going to a senior college. Thus, we are indebted to the faculty of Junior College.

English Administers Many Rich Rewards English. This is a term which strikes terror in the hearts of all men, native Americans or otherwise; our own students study English grammar through grade school, high school and are required to take further study in their freshman year of college. There is no doubt that it is difficult to learn! It is, however, one of the most expressive; English is the mother language of much of the world's great drama. The real value of this tongue lies in communication. This becomes important when considered in the light of the proximity of men throughout the world, for it has long been the language of diplomacy and is blazing new trails in our modern world's quest for solutions to the age old problems of war, pestilence, famine and death. Courses in the languages are offered at Fort Smith Junior College and studies in literature are offered to those interested. We must realize that differences in people in our world will exist for many years to come and that understanding will come only after years of intensive study. Each student who graduates from F.S.J.C. is required to take certain courses in the field of English, and those who continue their studies in Arts and Sciences will have to take a specified number of hours in Foreign Language. This is prerequistic to understanding the rich heritage our past has to offer.
A teacher's work is never done and they can be found sneaking moments to plan their next student attacks. 36

Social Science Dept. Excels in Its Field

Below: It is the duty of the Social Science Department to reflect the ideas of a democratic way of thinking. These three instructors carry most of the responsibility of doing this duty.
The citizens of Fort Smith, Arkansas and the students of Fort Smith Junior College were recently witnesses to a phenomenon which makes the teaching of the social sciences one of the important jobs of education. In exercising their right to vote, they were the observers of the very orderly system of "democracy in action." Fort Smith Junior College became a Community College as a result of society's acceptance of the process of law. This process functions best when all of the people are informed and it can be said that Americans are the most informed and educated in the world. The Department of Social Science at F.S.J.C. offers classes in history, sociology, and political science for the purpose of furthering such a system. Miss Lucille Speakman is Chairman of the Department and Dean of Women. She also teaches two classes in Western Civilization. Other members are: Jerry Atkinson, Religion; Harold Hile, Sociology and Geography; George Lamb, American History; Dorothy Rappeport, Philosophy; Robert Runner, American History and Government; and George McAlister, Western Civilization and American History.
Math and Science Plan New Building As this is being typed, the Science Department of F.S.J.C. is quite involved in the unexpected, and happy, task of planning for a new science building to be built (we hope) before the beginning of the next school year. The voter's approval of the change in status of our school from a private to a public institution is instrumental in this plan. The only draw-back with the Science Department in the past was the lack of facilities. The staff has always met the challenge of excellence and the future offers nothing but improvement. The basic foundation in knowledge and skills obtainable at Fort Smith Junior College will aid the student in meeting the challenges of future courses in the physical sciences and all phases of math. The greatest motive behind any learning is the natural intrinsic desire to know, to find out, to understand. Once this understanding is evident, it's only a matter of application of the knowledge gained, to the ideal existence man desires. The program at Fort Smith Junior College is oriented to this basic philosophy. The instructors here are the best and are completely dedicated to their profession. Aid is available to any student desiring assistance academically or socially.

The Math and Science Department of F.SJ.C. combines numbers, microscope study, lab work, and chemicals into a synthesis of studies which interpret and explain the workings and wonders of our universe. Competent and skillful instructors guide their students along these paths.
Business Presents Great Opportunities Business is booming! The cry is no longer "Go west, young man, "for opportunity knocks on every door. More and more, however, this opportunity is requiring a great deal of skill; skill which can only be obtained through study and application. It is to this modern necessity that the Department of Business and Secretarial Science has dedicated itself. Seven well qualified instructors have one purpose: the education of young men and women for positions of leadership and service in private and non-private business organizations. Students can acquire a fundamental knowledge of this here, and the courses are so designed to enable them to maintain an uninterrupted study at any four year school. Instruction is comprehensive, covering everything from the history of economics to the application of its principles. Available for the students in this field are the latest in typewriters, calculators, and the other labor saving machines the world of business requires.

Fine Arts Dept. Sets Pace for Progress
The Fine Arts are always in the public eye! This is a multi-faceted truth: drama, speech, painting, sculpture and music are so related to the senses that there is something for each and every one of us. As a public community college, Fort Smith J. C. will undoubtedly satisfy this purpose to an even greater extent in the years to come. With each departmental meeting, more and more plans are made and go into records. It is the hope of Dr. Hattie May Butterfield and the other staff members that the future will find Fort Smith Junior College the center of cultural activity in this part of the state. The Department keeps a busy calendar each year. Dr. Butterfield schedules concerts, auditions and recitals; Mr. Carolan will present two plays; and Mr. Green is working the choral people toward an operetta at the time of this writing. Student exhibitions of art will be hung at the end of each semester. The most recent production of the Speech and Drama Department, "Mary, Mary" byjean Kerr has been hailed a success in set design, acting and directing.

Bottom row: James Howard, B.A. Delving into the many and numerous phases of the arts takes place each semester, whether it be concerned with drama or the history of art. Students receive, as a benefit of the courses, a rounder and fuller education. They also obtain needed hours for graduation.
Students Learn of Teaching Problems Training students to guide and counsel as well as teach is the purpose of the Department of Education and Psychology. The ability to work with people in this fast moving world of ours is a challenge which must be met today. Students, through the many and varied courses offered in education and psychology, gain a greater insight into theories and goals which pertain to teaching. A greater understanding of man's everyday behavior is becoming more complex and demanding every year. Due to this there is a greater variety of courses which are offered for a young teacher in training. Thus the department strives to assume the dominate role as one of the most important activities concerned with our society today. The physical side of an individual, coaching and training, is covered in the area of Physical Education. Emphasized, also, is the training of teachers as well as educational research.

However, there are no smiles on the faces of the female students who search the bulletin board.
JC Library Growing At Amazing Speed In the recent years a great change has taken place in the library. An initiation of a program which started in 1964 enabled new volumes to be added to the shelves every day and the old shelf space rapidly has been filled. Thus the upstairs space had to be opened and is filling up quickly. The assisting of the girls who help in cataloguing, classifying and shelving makes the system set forth easier. The college is fortunate to have the help of such able workers. The primary goal in this expansion is certainly for the individual student, but it is an accepted fact that the quality of a library will go a long way in determining the many chances of being accepted. With greater confidence in the library, instructors are making use of its facilities. Usually the library can be seen filled with students cramming for tests, as well as doing research for research papers. Our quiet library is the favorite place of study on campus for students.

Ft. Smith Jr. College Becomes Public Institution The school year of 1965-1966 started innocently enough for the students of Fort Smith Junior College; but only on the surface was it calm. The faculty, administration and the interested citizens of Fort Smith, Arkansas had been working all summer and into the fall, preparing for November 2, 1965, the day they hoped F.S.J.C. would become a public community college. It did happen! By a margin 5-2 for, the voters of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Sebastian County expressed their wish to share the ownership of this 37 year old educational institution. The effect of this brought no immediate or radical changes, but some are evident, particularly in the administrative set up, and specifically with regard to the Board of Trustees. Under the new law, local control would be kept by having a local board; the initial one to be appointed by the governor of the state, Orval Faubus. Then, at the expiration of the term of a member, a successor would be elected from the district at large for a term of 6 years. 50
The Advisory Board, which worked with the Trustees in the past, will not be retained under the new system. The new Board of Trustees, for the most part, is made up of previous members. It is only proper that something be said of their previous service which helped guide the school through some perilous years. In the past, as well as the present, they have come from all walks of life and must have derived a great deal of satisfaction from the extra work, for that was their only reward. It was always with the best interest of the college and its students that they led the school forward through the years. Unselfishness and diligence characterized their work and brought F.S.J.C. to its present position. We are sure that the same standards motivate the new organization and we can expect to continue the progress evident in the past years. Future generations that attend F.S.J.C. will benefit greatly from the work of the Board of Trustees who consider the best interests of the college and its students.

Junior College Staff Is Excellent Group Any institution is not complete without an able and skilled staff of workers consisting of typists, accountants, secretaries and maintenance men and custodians. Above and beyond the call of duties, in many cases, this group of men and women are found working together day after day to better Fort Smith Junior College. Throughout the years a team of devoted and skilled people have comprised a staff that can be compared to any other institution in the state. This elite group of people may be viewed with pride and honor. These individuals give much needed advice concerning different problems which arise throughout the entirety of the year. They are characterized by friendliness and their desire to help students in any way possible. The foremost duty of this group is to help stimulate a better college atmosphere in all and any aspects. This ultimate goal of reality reaches its completion with the better striving of Fort Smith Junior College staff.

Keynote 1966 Year
COACH BILL CROWDER Coach Crowder addresses a small group of Lion supporters at the first pep rally of the '66 year. The empty bleachers are for future rooters.
The school year of 1965-1966 will definitely be remembered as one of change when future alumni look back in their old year books. This was the year that ol' F.S.J.C. became a public college, the new gymnasium was dedicated,Mr. Runner became Dean of Men, and Batman appeared on television. Another new feature was the hiring of William Crowder as Athletic Director and Head Coach. The purpose of this writing is to introduce you to our new mentor who comes to us from a coaching position at Springdale, Arkansas. Coach Crowder played football, basketball and baseball at Perryville, Arkansas and received aM.A. Degree from the University of Arkansas. From 1956 to 1959 he was athletic director and head coach at Ozark, Arkansas and from 1959 until 1965 he held the position of first assistant coach for football and basketball at Springdale, Arkansas. He expressed high hopes for our Lions at the first of the year. "The team may be small in height, but I'm accustomed to coaching small men," he commented. "The Lions will be stressing defense with the addition of pressure type plays. Who is number 55? The Lions new uniforms arrived after this game and the numerals of the players changed.
This is Fort Smith Junior College's new gymnasium as it appeared when the students returned last fall. It is facility for the combined use of the College and Fort Smith's Boys' Club. It cost approximately $160,000 and contains 20,230 sq. ft. of floor space.

The new gymnasium is characteristic of the growth that is taking place at F.SJ.C. New students and returning sophomores couldn't help but notice the classy new structure on the south end of the campus. The $ 160,000 structure is the best equipped gymnasium in this area. The unique floating floor is termed the best available. It is built over a sub-floor with rubber runners to give it spring, and every tenth board contains a fourth inch space to insure room for expansion. Classrooms are located on the second floor with a glassed-in hallway overlooking the playing floor. The largest classes in the college now take place in one of the rooms and ultramodern bleachers were added on the gymnasium floor soon after school started. Regularly scheduled physical education classes are now being held in the new building. There are two men's and one women's class held each Tuesday and Thursday. The new athletic center was constructed by the firm of Larson and Wear, General Contractors, and is used by the Fort Smith Boys' Club as well as the college. The architect designed the building to incorporate thejefferies Boys' Club. A fund raising drive, originating in cooperation with the Fort Smith Chamber of Commerce, made it possible to secure funds for the project, through contributions by various local civic organizations, businesses and individuals. Last, but not least, was the cooperative spirit of the Fort Smith Boys' Club. Not to be left unsaid, is the thanks that is due Dean Shelby Breedlove for his untiring work.

Injury Laden Lions Loll in Loop Losses; Spirits Bill Crowder, Coach
What's in a season, Churchill's "blood, sweat and tears?" Losses? Wins? Anxiety? Joy? All of these are in a season, and more. A coach can say it over and over, "The game is the thing," but inside there is a small competitive voice which says interminably, "Win, win, win." Bill Crowder can tell you, and so can Mike Muldoon; you take healthy, intelligent, short men and play the game for their sake. But something is wrong—they want to win also! Things are not going too well for our Lions this season. Riddled with injuries to their top scorers, they have only won two games at the time of this writing. Coach Crowder appears philosophical about it, but we all know he's dying inside! It becomes the purpose of this writing (which will be read by the student body of Fort Smith Junior College) to insist that everyone rise up and reaffirm the support that our coaches and players so richly deserve. For they have given the game everything that was in their hearts and souls. Read your NUMA's, Lion lovers! When the doors swing open next year, be there! Yell your lungs out for the Blue and White. 60

Lion Hardballers Prepare for Bumper Year A cold day in February saw the practice field at Fort Smith Junior College in a flurry of activity as approximately thirty basketball weary hardballers began their loosening up exercises. Groans of pain echoed across the diamond as little used arm muscles began to stiffen from the alien activity. "Move about ten feet in front of the mound Danny, and throw easy," counseled Coach Crowder. He was obviously thinking of his depleted mound staff. Two of his best pitchers had succumbed to bad grades and become ineligible. Starting catcher Mike Muldoon bemoaned the loss, "That Fant has more stuff than I've ever caught. His knuckle ball jumps around like it was alive." Coach Crowder is optimistic however. There seems to be quite a bit of competition for the various positions, particularly in the infield, and a good defense can 72
save a lot of runs. Baseball is F.SJ.C.'s second sport and, with track and basketball, rounds out the year's athletic activity. Tennis and golf teams were scheduled but failed to materialize as they are outgrowths of a special physical education class which did not fill. A small nucleus from last year's team makes up the backbone of 1966's Lions diamond cats. They are: Mike Muldoon, Danny Cross, Mike Perkins, John Huffor, and Cotton Nye. It will be on these members that Coach Crowder will place the most responsibility. In this fact may lie the secret to a good season for all of the aforementioned have exhibited excellent leadership qualities throughout the year. For those interested, baseball statistics for the 1965 season may be found on page 77.
Dennis Rogers warms up the ol'wing as the Lions take to the field late in February. A tough schedule faces our Numa diamond aces and there can't be any sore arms as the season begins.

Track Is FSJC'S Third Sport in '66 With the completion of Fort Smith Junior College's new gymnasium, and the moving of all equipment and records to the new facility, the NUMA Staff found itself without a set of statistics for the 1965 Track team. So, rather than list possibly erroneous information, the '66 yearbook will be void of those records compiled by last years team. Track is the unsung sport at F.S J.C. and receives very little publicity. This is, of course, not as it should be for past teams have brought many honors to the college. An outstanding team took to the field in '63 and several new Bi-State Conferences were set. Due to the overwhelming speed of Alma's Noah Webster the Lions only lost one meet that year and that was to the four year college, Harding. Only one member returns to this year's squad and that is Ralph Chappell. Sophomores Danny Cross, Cotton Nye, and Quince Coleman were here last year but didn't go out for the team. It behooves us to take this opportunity to wish our cinder cats a victorious year and for the student body to give more support. 76
FSJC Has Seven New Pep Leaders 1966; No drum, a new field house, a new coach, new uniforms, fans, and the peppiest and prettiest cheerleaders ever to grace the hardwoods of Fort Smith Junior College. This was the scene; and win or lose our new spirit starters never gave up as our Lion team posted one of its worst seasons. Out of the bevy of girls trying out last October, seven youngsters were selected to lead the yells: Jane Hahn, Paula Lewis, Mary Lou Corrotto, Liz Sanford, Judy Williams, Cecelia Daws on, and Janie Griffin. Jane Hahn was selected by her teammates as head cheerleader. Miss Mardell Christello continues her support, acting as advisor to our '66 peppers. Jane Hahn and Cecelia Dawson listen intently as Miss Christello explains the schedule for the following day, F.S J.C.'s Lion Day.
A bunch of the boys were whooping it up at the bonfire the night before Lion Day. Someone threw a firecracker in the blaze to the delight of Mr. Gage and Mr. Grimes.

The Lion basketball team really gave our cheerleaders something to yell about near the end of the season; they won four of six.
There's Dispair in Defeat; Joy in Winning This was along year in basketball. Our new gymnasium was usually gloomy as the Lions were only able to bring home 7 victories.

Sophomores Grow Bigger and Better The Sophomore class of 1966 has shapen the Student Board into the functioning body, that has, with the help of the green freshmen, given the college a new outlook on life and the possibility of new classrooms for the next school year. They have donated their time to pass out bumper stickers, pamphlets, posters, and petitions. Not only the sophomores, but the whole student body has spread good news to activate the minds of the community, so that the Community College Bill would pass the community's approval. The Sophomores gave unselfishly of themselves, so that other students in the future years would have a better school. With their enthusiasm and high ideals, the largest class of Sophomores in the entire history of Fort Smith Junior College will be the leaders of tomorrow who will guide other people on to find their intended goals in life. High Educational and social standards were maintained throughout the year. President Paul Rainwater; Vice-President Kenny Whitson The members of the Student Board include many sophomores, as it is readily seen in this regular meeting on Tuesdays.

Whether it is a basketball discussion or perhaps some pleasant thoughts concerning the pretty legs across the gym we will probably never ever know. But from the smiles on their faces I'll bet that their interest lies in the extra-curricular activities.
Though we can't see any of those pretty legs we see plenty of pretty faces that have to be attached to something.
Legs, faces, all sitting together seem to group together also
while the lookers maybe for discussion.
SURPRISE! We caught two of the Student Board members working Exams are over, I feel dumb

Conferences Are Part of Students Aspect on Life Some of the many phases of college life are important: others are just for shear pleasure, enjoyment and for the purpose of relaxing.
Frosh Find College Different-Difficult September started a new eye-opening phase in the life of many students in the Fort Smith area. Jumping from a senior in high school to a freshman in college is quite a change. New horizons and facilities are being opened by the enlarged enrollment of the 196566 Freshman class. Of the total student body in the academic, division, 500 are "underdogs." Even with the opening of the gym, the classes are still packed. Junior College not only recorded an increase in the size of the departments, but nine new members were added to the faculty. School spirit and participation are not dulled by the size of the Freshman class in supporting the student activities. In the September elections of Student Board members and class officers, the Freshman class elected Steve Stephens, president and Sharon Gingrich, vice-president.
Freshman officers are: President Steve Stephens and Vice-President Sharon Gingrich.
Work or play, Freshmen are eager to participate and enthusiastic.
Something new to all Freshmen is registration. Confusion, ignorance, and alone, no one else knows what they're doing either.

Tech Division Is Active Department The technical division ot Fort Smith Junior College is an integral part of life on the Fort Smith Junior College campus. Here students learn various trades and skills to help them in life on the outside. More and more the technical school, seemingly isolated in the past, is coming closer and closer in its affiliation with the academic portion of junior college. Their assiÂŤtence in the past on numerous Student Board activities, such as the painting of the Christmas tree and the making of the reflective ball used in the dances, has been of inestimable value. This year for the first time the technical division has had a representative on the Student Board. This has further cemented the relationship between the vocational and academic portion of Fort Smith Junior College. We eagerly anticipate the day when there will no longer be any distinction drawn between technical and academic curriculums. The technical school fulfills a great and desperate need for adult education. We no longer live in an age where industry looks only for a surplus of manpower, where the dignity of a skill was reserved for only a few. There is little room in our modern world for the unskilled.
Theory-Technique Dominate Procedure Today, in an era of atoms and space travel, television and jet commuting, there is little room for the uneducated and unskilled in the field of modern business and industry. Today industry is seeking to relocate and expand. It searches for areas where trained labor is available or where there are facilities to train the workers needed. It is for these reasons that so many national firms have relocated in the Fort Smith area in the past few years. The city is industrial and technical education is available at Fort Smith Junior College. The growth of our technical division is a matter of record and this expansion simply points up the increase in facilities and services of our community College in recent years. Courses offered this year are inclusive of Machine Shop, Electronics, Drafting, Auto Mechanics, and Body and Fender repair. A new class in Metal Fabrication was added last year and this year the Physics department moved to new facilities in the vocational-technical division. The technical division fulfills a great and desperate need.

Sparks Nurses Are Studying at FSJC Through the cooperation of Sparks Memorial Hospital and the Science Department of Fort Smith Junior College; future Registered Nurses of the aforementioned medical institution are able to satisfy several nursing courses. Covering a variety of subjects from microbiology to anatomy and physiology, the curriculum for both schools of nursing offers college credit to these young ladies who pursue either theR.N. or the P.N. degree. These medical coeds, although seen by few of the regular J. C. students due to the fact that they spend a limited number of hours here, can gain as much as 18 hours of academic credit from the program. We, at J. C., are proud to have them as members of the student body. Finding a place in the difficult nursing profession is a task which only the most dedicated, determined, and adept student can survive, and this is good, for only the best are worthy to wear the white linen cap of the nursing profession. The naive freshman girls who come to the upper story of "Old Main" little resemble the trained professional who receives her pin at the end of three long years of arduous training. The giggles are gone, as are the Beatle records. In their place are the gentle touch, the reassuring voice, and the healing of those in pain. The long road to a career in nursing is a pathway filled with many pitfalls, but the rewards are many.

St. Edwards Nurses Build Skills at JC Through the facilities of Fort Smith Junior College, the freshman students at Saint Edwards School of Nursing can gain as many as 18 hours of credit toward their R.N. degree. These young Nightingales take such courses as anatomy, physiology, micro-biology, and chemistry. These academic courses are designed to supplement the training at the hospital in preparing them to meet the demands made of them in their gleaming shrine of stainless steel, tile, and green scrub gowns. Finding a place in the difficult nursing profession is a task which only the most dedicated, determined, and adept student can survive, and this is good, for only the best are worthy to wear the white linen cap of the nursing profession. The naive freshman who comes to the upper story in "Old Main" is of little resemblance to the trained professional who receives her pin at the end of three long years of arduous training. The giggles are gone, as are the Beatle records. In their place are the gentle touch, the reassuring voice, and the skilled mind designed to bring comfort and healing to those in pain. The long road to a career in nursing is a pathway filled with many pitfalls, but the rewards are many; the child's smile, the old man's grateful glance, and a word of thanks for a job well done, all this is more than compensation for the many hours spent in work and study. 130

Manpower Program Salvages Careers With the clicking of typewriter keys and the zipping of carriages, the typewriter courses are in full swing in the Man-power program at Fort Smith Junior College. Along with these, the program includes courses in shorthand, office machines, and business math. In the Man-power program, the academically talented students, who will be thestrengthof tomorrow's economy, not only learn the fundamentals of the business subjects but also learn to understand the economic values necessary in government, business, and social affairs. The Man-power program is now in its fourth full year at Fort Smith Junior College, and is enjoying great success under the guiding hand of Mrs. Ruth Gant. Last year's statistics showed that 95% of all the graduates were working at new jobs; jobs which are high paying and are available to men and women with the specialized technical training. Training in these skills is available at F.S.J.C. through cooperation with the Employment Security Division. People who become unemployed because of automation are eligible for re-training under the Federal Manpower Act.
Dictation is an aid but must be studied and practiced for endless hours.

Traditional Festivities Highlight Lion Week Homecoming regained its old position again this year over Alumni Day and the festivities were not only numerable, but enjoyed by the entire student body. The week activities began with a pep rally held in the gymnasium. The spirit was high and the students carried this enthusiasm over to the bonfire, held the same evening. Amidst a blazing fire, the cheerleaders attempted to boost the Lions on to a victory in the coming game. Bright and early the next morning, the Booster Club sponsored a Pancake Breakfast. Students and teachers turned out in great numbers to taste the savory morsals the cheerleaders and the club had prepared for them. Saturday climaxed the week activities with a parade down Garrison Avenue. The homecoming royalty was presented to Fort Smith by members of Circle K. Several clubs entered cars in the parade also. That evening Judy Lee was crowned Miss Fort Smith Junior College. Runners-up included Mary Lou Corotto, Nancy Hinton, Cecilia Daws on and Nancy Hudson. After a heartbreaking loss of the Lions to OCU, a soc-hop was held in the gymnasium with entertainment by the Green Monks.
It may not be obvious, but this is the work of Max Gilbert.

Mr. James E. Howard, Advisor to the NUMA Fort Smith Junior College Grand Avenue and Waldron Road Fort Smith, Arkansas Dear Mr. Howard: It was certainly a hard job deciding on which girls to pick as your yearbook beauty, as they were all beautiful and charming. For For For For For
the Sophomore Beauty, we picked Miss Kelly Cain first runrier-up, we picked Miss Sherry Allen second runner-up, we picked MissPriscilla Atkins third runner-up, we picked Miss Vita Morreale fourth runner-Up, we picked Miss Vickey Manchaca
For For For For For
the Freshman Beauty, we picked Miss Jo Aann Barry first runner-up, we picked Miss Nancy Hinton second runner-up, we picked Miss Mary Lou Corrotto third runner-up, we picked Miss Liz Sanford fourth runner-up, we picked MissJudy Williams
Our best wishes to all of the girls, and we wish that we could have picked all of them. Sincerely,
The Razorbacks/ FB:dc
The NUMA Staff would like to congratulate the very charming girls of the Fort Smith Junior College for participation in the beauty contest for the yearbook. Each of the girls is a beauty in their own right. This may be in their looks, their personality, or any of the qualities that go to make up our land of beautiful girls. We are all pleased for the winners and yet, we do wish that each girl could have been our beauty. It seems that "Thank You" for your time and the money spent is far from enough to say because this section is completely due to all the girls who presented a picture. There was a difficulty in selecting the proper judge but we feel that a man as well thought of, as well known, and of our own state, as Frank Broyles would be the answer. He did take time from his very busy schedule to perform the task we presented to him. We hope the student body is pleased with his selection, as well as our selection of Frank Broyles as the judge. Again, we must say thank you in appreciation for this favor. 148
To the girls who received the honors, we would like to say we are all pleased for the cooperation you gave to us in the taking of the casual shots. Each girl who entered could not have their casuals taken because of the amount of girls entered. The shots were taken and then selected for the book. Each girl became a beauty to the staff during this time because of the charm they presented. The selection this year is different, as well as the section, trying to put more emphasis on the fact that our school is proud of its beauty and the beauty it has to make it up. Each girl is caught at her best and depicts Southern beauty. The following pages present the girls to you, the student body. Miss Kelly Cain is given the honor of being the 1966 NUMA Beauty. Kelly only came to our school this year but in the short time here she has added much. In this way, we hope to add to her life a sparkle of happiness in return for her charming and beautiful face around campus, as we do each of the girls presented on the following pages.

J.C. Hall of Fame Is Now Traditional These pages, through the years, have become the hallowed section of the NUMA. It is here that the students who have contributed most to their school are acclaimed. Each year, during second semester registration, the instructors of all the departments are polled to find which students they feel most worthy of the honor of being pictured in the NUMA Hall of Fame. It must be emphasized that their choices are not made solely on the basis of scholastic achievement, but on their entire contribution. The number chosen varies each year, but it has been traditional in the last few years to select no less than eight; and all must be a member of the sophomore class. 1966 did not find eight, nine, or ten new names gracing the ballots of their instructors, but twelve; the largest number yet, and there were other names clamoring for the honor. It is now time to present them to you. The NUMA Staff takes great pride in having the honor of introducing the 1966 HALL OF FAME!

Mary confronts Bob with a thought provoking question concerning their separation but from the looks of things the problem is remembering their lines.

FSJC Campus Offers Host of Clubs and Activitie Very few students realize, and fewer take advantage of the fact that the organizations of Fort Smith Junior College are their link between the administration-faculty and the student body. Some of the organizations are stronger than others but that can only be the fault of the students. The Numa Staff presents these organizations on the following pages, giving credit where it is due and hoping they might arouse an interest to those students that do not realize their existence. Perhaps the most recognized organization is the Student Board. This is due to the interest the students take or the time they take to criticize their actions. In either case, the Board is one of the shining lights of our college. The Booster Club tries every year to give the students a backing drive for school spirit, which is obviously lacking. This year was no exception to the rule, but no blame can be placed on their hard work in backing the basketball team in all respects. Circle K is the junior example of the Kiwanis Club of the Fort Smith area. These boys must maintain a high grade average and be in good standing with the faculty to be accepted. They perform duties for the school in many charitable ways.
The Business Club, Engineers Club and SNEA provide the students with opportunities to become acquainted with their future occupations. These clubs are often visited and advised by the businessmen of the area. The Fine Arts organizations on the campus give the students a chance to develop their cultural character in all respects. The choir gives enchanted music for the singers and the listeners. Dramatics presents play productions that are enjoyed by all. The Music Guild and the Art Guild is the home of the young artist of our school, for they can share their interest. All members are very devoted. Phi Theta Kappa is composed of the students who have an excellent grade average. These students are recognized by their merits by all the student body. The Young Republicans have the distinction of being the only political club on the campus. Perhaps this can be explained by the fact that this is the off year for political parties. The Collegian presents the students with factual but slow reports of the campus activities, while the Numa Staff presents the students with factual and permanent reports. With this, we leave the next pages lor you to first scan through looking for your own picture, and then, twenty years from now, to reminisce. The cheerleaders lead the members of the student body in a cheer to boost the Junior College Lions to a victory in the coming game.
The production "Mary, Mary" taught members of the cast many things, including the art of kissing and smoking.

Dorothy Grace Beck. Books of her life. Not only could she tell you where to find a particular book, but, in many instances, the contents were as familiar to her as the cover itself. She became librarian at the time when the entire library was contained in what is now the President's and Dean's offices. The few donated volumes then available were given the same loving care as she gave the library as we know it now. "Our Miss Beck." Dedicated, intelligent, and underneath that prim veneer, humorous. She looked serious, she acted serious. Her mind held many serious thoughts. But when the occasion warranted, her sense of humor was refreshing as a spring breeze. I knew her best for her poetry. Not a book of prose, but lighthearted poems composed on the spur of the moment. To my knowledge, nothing was ever published ... til now. The following is a result of a suggestion of mine that she attempt to "un-count" sheep as a remedy for her drowsiness brought about by her "book reading" at night: TO TENDERFOOT BOLIN
WE NEED A NEW RIBBON ON OUR ROYAL TYPE WRITER.'.'/
Do you dare mention sheep to a "Rawhide" fan? To one who has roughed it, boy and man, Across the prairies, herding cattle, Eating dust, and giving battle To every sheep-man in the way? This will not do! Nor hear me say That not to awake nor yet to sleep Will I count sheep—or uncount sheep! And such a deed you must suggest, Lest you rouse the wrath of the whole Wild West!
Since your last poem, much time has passed, As I trembled in fear at the spell you cast. For a troubled mind can not compose, A single line or verse of prose. So please forget the plans I drew, To help you read the whole night through. And when I see you tending sheep, I'll hang my head, in shame, and weep. JBB
And if this warning does not daunt you, May the ghosts of Rowdy and Favor haunt you! DGB
The following is a poem written to me as a Christmas gift and to thank me for giving her an occasional ride downtown: TO JBB To a friend in need who gives a lift, To a friend who gives a ride, I bring no diamond-studded gift, But this brief song for Christmas-tide. CHRISTMAS CAROL BY A SOUR-PUSS Oh, the lights are red, the lights are green, With cheerful traffic snarls between; Now echo pavements to the beat Of clamorous crowds down on a clamorous street— Sing Noel, Noel, Noel— And, oh, my aching feet! Salvation Army's bells now ring, And records blare their carolling To make the season's joys complete, So we forget our aching feet— Sing Noel, Noel, Noel— I can't forget my feet! In a mounting tide that cannot stop Now furiously the shoppers shop; The merchants beam, the clerks all curse,
The savings banks their gains rehearseSing Noel, Noel, Noel— And, oh, my empty purse! I clutch my list, I rack my brain, I wind the wind-up toys again! Which is better—which is worse— A sparkling chain—a book of verse? Sing Noel, Noel, NoelThere's nothing in my purse! So here's the season of good cheer! Now face it, friends, and have no fear, But shop and sing—be brave—be strong— Remember that it can't last longSing Noel, Noel, NoelHere endth now my song! Sing Noel, Noel, Noel— Here endth now my song! —DGB
This poem expresses a Dorothy Grace Beck that few people really knew. It was a privilege to have been one of them. —James Bolin

NUMA Editor's Prerogative Is Having Last Word
...and so the two years I've spent at Fort Smith Junior College as Editor of the NUMA come to an end. I hope I am leaving a little bit wiser, for ideas I had placed so much value on in the past, have been changed and replaced with others. This edition of the NUMA is my child, both physically and mentally. It is not, however, an expression of one person, but of all the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the faculty, the administration, the students, the board of trustees, even the people of Sebastian County who worked so hard to make F.S.J.C. a public institution. Say what you will, but it is an elite group that makes up the annual staff each year. There is the first "weeding" out of driftwood and those who remain are the ones who live and die with each deadline; the latter becoming so sacred that we sometimes consider building a shrine to it. To those who failed to help, to have their picture made, or to cooperate in some small way, I have this to say, "Poo!" As you leave, you leave your first alma mater of higher education. Let me remind you that you are leaving a chapter in history which will distinguish you from all others and this yearbook is its chronicle! The "staff has worked long and hard to record it correctly; to make it bigger and better than any that was done before. I think that they have achieved this and more.

This copy block I dedicate to my devoted staff. In this space I want to say something to each one of them which will convey my true feelings about them individually. Ordinarily this would be difficult to do, but when you work as closely with people as I have with the 1966 NUMA staff, very much can be said with a few words. This section, then, is for them. The rest of you need read no further. To Ginger and Patty, "GIOVANNI ARNOLFINI"; To Vita and Joan, "UNA VALDO"; Suzanne and Sharon, "HE WAS BEARING THE CROSS"; and to Max, Steve, and Doris, "I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT." There! I said it all! I felt when I started that this section deserved another book, but this is it. The yearbook is finally completed and I am FINISHED. N.A.W.
