Presents

F O R T S M I T H

We Pause . . .

for words of appreciation to a man who is never

too busy or too tired to help us with our troubles. Mr.

Reynolds has been "on the job" many times when a less

interested person would have abandoned the problems of

the student.

We are grateful for the attention and recognition

of student government that Mr. Reynolds has made pos-

sible through his untiring efforts. We realize that associ-

ations with him have made Junior College a better and

more interesting place in which to study this year.

As a token of our sincere appreciation for his

constant service and loyalty, we respectfully dedicate the

I94O NUMA to Mr. Reynolds, the friend and helper of

each Junior College student.

James W. Reynolds

Students . . .

the old school year-book days are back

again. The staff of this year's Numa has

done its best to provide you with a living

memory of your school days in JC.

We have tried to present graphic and in-

formal "snaps" of our school activities in the

year past, and have taken great pride in the

theme of informality that has been carried

on throughout the book.

Above all, the staff has attempted, by its

persistent efforts, to present to you Jay-

cees a book that can be treasured in the

years to come; a book that will daily grow

more and more a part of y o u r precious

memories.

. . . The Campus

And sometimes I forget thy looks

and what thy ways may be!

I have denied thy were at all—yet

still I fight for thee.

—Anna Mempstead Branch

We cannot know how much we learn

From those who never will return,

Until a flash of unforseen

Remembrance falls on what has

been.

—Edwin Arlington Robinson

Under the capable leadership of its collective officers, theStudent Board has been a great help to the student body, and itis largely through its work that we enjoyed such a great amountof self-government. This body symbolizes the spirit of co-operation that exists between the students and the faculty.

Mary Ayleen Cotton Paul Lovoi Leroy Dodd

Grady Garrison Betty Ben Geren Bill Hunt

ACTIVITIES

The Student Board is the official governing body of the Junior College, and thisyear it wa,s more "official" than ever, because it enjoyed complete independence offaculty control, except when the board itself asked for assistance in times of distress.These times arose o'nce in a while and Dean Reynolds did an admirable job of "straight-ening things out." Because of its independence, the Board was encouraged to engagein a busier year of managing school activities than there has ever been in the historyof the JC Student Board.

The interest which existed in this organization was intensified by a genuinepolitical battle during the first semester which climaxed in a 150 minute meeting. Whenthis was settled, the members put it behind themselves and turned out some good work.

The Variety Show, a community project, was originated to provide free publicentertainment for people of all ages. Under the capable management of Paul Lovoi,three "bang-up" performances were given, each with a packed auditorium. The otherJC community project, the annual Sunrise Easter Service, was arranged, but badweather prevented its being held.

The Board handled this year's Community Chest drive and almost tripled lastyear's contribution from JC. A contest between the boys and girls was won by thefairer sex by a margin of twenty cents.

The Board had several evening dinner meetings in the dining room of the homeeconomics department. The "home ec'' girls did a fine job of serving the meals, and theBoard members discovered that it was much more pleasant to talk with a full stomach.

RADIO COUNCIL

The Radio Council, formed at the beginning of the first sem-ester for the purpose of promoting the radio programs of JuniorCollege, had a tough job and they did it well. Unfortunately,matters arose that made the council ineffective—but a wealth ofpraise is due the council and its hard-working chairman, W. C.Davis.

On December 8, "The Late Christopher Bean" was presented in the high schoolauditorium by members of the college division of Sock and Buskin. An appreciativeaudience hailed the play that rollicked Broadway two years ago. The performance didcredit to Sidney Howard's amusing story of a New England family and their strugglefor wealth against tremendous odds. The characters were genuinely portrayed.

Members of the Shakespeare appreciation class presented the ever-hilarious"Taming of the Shrew" on March 12 in the high (school auditorium. Presentation inmodern dress gave the play an added touch of charm that delighted and amused eventhe most critical audience. The wit and genius of William Shakespeare lived again todelight people everywhere with his comedy. The taming scene, with a somewhatchanged cast, entered the state Speech Festival at Arkadelphia April 19 and 20.

BASKETBALL

Beginning the season with green material, our basket-ball team progressed rapidly and produced a team worthyof much praise. Since the City League, of which JuniorCollege was a member last year, was not organized thisseason, games were scheduled with local independent quin-tets. All the games were played in the high school gym-nasium.

One of the major factors contributing to the successenjoyed by the squad was the fact that it played as a unit,placing the importance of team-work above that of theindividual. All the boys put forth their most whole-hearted and sincere efforts every minute of the time theywere on the court. Because of these facts no single playerstood out as a high scorer or hero.

Only four members of the squad will be lost throughgraduation. Since this is true, an even better team thanthat which represented us this season will be expectednext year. However, giving credit where credit is due,we express to these boys our appreciation for their workin giving us a long-to-be-remembered quintet.

SPRING SPORTS

Spring sports in JC definitely tend to turn toward the intra-muraltype of athletics. Tennis, ping-pong, softball, track, and archery are thepredominating recreational diversions.

Tennis and ping-pong tournaments for the boys were run off. Atennis team was sent to Arkadelphia to compete in the state meet. Thegirls also had their swings at the little white balls. Although tourneys for

the feminine element were not held, they were allowed free use of thetennis courts and ping-pong room.

A golf team was not sent to the state meet this year because therewas not enough interest shown in that sport to merit it. Archery also had adecline in interest.

Softball was a sport enjoyed by both the boys and girls. A league,in which high school boys also participated, was formed. The girls contactedthis sport through their gym classes.

An intra-mural track meet, in which high school boys again tookpart, was also held, this event coming early in the spring.

All in all, both in the spring and winter, it can be said that FortSmith Junior College has a, program of intra-mural athletics which gives

every student in the school a chance to enjoy the advantages which exer-cise provides.
