class, both intellectually and socially, is the president—Harold Pinckney.In your wanderings about the lower corridors of the building it may be

that you have seen a short person dressed in a striped suit of oxford gray(or perhaps it was the light gray or the blue), neat black shoes, and amonochromatic blue tie. This person was probably none other than thesophomore president. I know not how Harold (as the students know him)would have had himself described. Indeed, I find myself when attempedto define Don Marquis—but I shall take a chance.

He has always impressed me as being very singular, the friend, and theman. I have said that he is a scholar; perhaps he is not. At least he is anexceptional student—his grades show that. He is a persistent reader, andmay often be seen ampling about the library examining all the books fromthose on the fine arts down to the interesting conversation— and he is; hisability to reason sometimes aspires to heights of brilliancy.

There is no doubt that he is a friend. If he is respected alike by thefreshman and the sophomore, the student and the teacher, it is becausehe has never given anyone the slighest cause to show him disrespect. Final-ly, Harold's most important characteristic, he is great in character; everyinch, every ounce of that diminutive physique goes to make up a powerfulindividuality always striving for things higher, who, as Wordsworth says—not content that former work stand fast, Looks forward, preserving to thelast—. —by a Freshman

HAROLD W. PINCKNEY

As we turn from page to pagein this class book it seems fittingthat we should pause for a briefinterval in fond remembrance ofthe sophomore students who re-ceived their diplomas on thehigh school stage one night nearthe end of May 1930. That groupwill always be remembered be-cause it was the first sophomoreclass, just as it had previouslybeen the f reshman class—itblazed the trail, as it were, forall classes that were to follow.Symbolic of everything that thegroup stood for, its traditions,its ideals, and its inspirations,and standing out as being typ-ical of the best that was in the

Librarian and Library

Miss Mary Hynes is one of themost popular librarians in the south-west. She has been with the highschool library for a number of years,and for the last two years has beenworking with the Junior College. Shereceived her training for library workat the St. Louis Public Library andalso at the Western Reserve Univer-sity, at Cleveland, Ohio.

The library, at present, includesabout five hundred volumes. It iscomplete in varied subject matter, ifnot in the number of volumes. Thereare more history books than anyothers; however, there are volumeson education, science, novels, biology,and literature in general.

The progress which has beenmade toward establishing a success-

ful library in the Junior College should be attributed, to a great extent, toMiss Hynes.

To become a standardized library and a member of the North Centralassociation of libraries, it will be necessary to acquire three thousand vol-umes. Efforts are being made to reach this requirement by the first ofJanuary.

Miss MARY HYNES

The Lion's Din

The Lion's Din, the official pub-lication of the Fort Smith JuniorCollege, was founded in the secondyear of our institution. Volume I,Number 1, appeared on November 8,1929. Hazel Presson is the editor ofthe paper and is assisted by the fol-lowing students: Fred Wilburn, Har-old Pinckney. Evelyn Peninger, Har-old Mott, Louis Galloway, CarrieHarrison and Dorothy Sumpter. Mr.Cox sponsors the paper.

The Lion's Din was representedby Hazel Presson at a meeting of theArkansas College Press Associationin April and applied for membershipin the organization. Membership inthis association places the Lion's Dinin the class of progressive press in-terests in Arkansas colleges.

Distinguished features of the paper are its size, italicized decks of head-lines, and columns of Roars and Newrsettes.

Because there is no journalism class in the Junior College, the publi-cation of the paper is entirely in the hands of the students and is anextra-curricular activity. Consequently, many difficulties hinder the pub-lication of the Lion's Din, but the staff is most optimistic, realizingthat the extreme youth of the college makes regular press work hard."Great oaks from little acorns grow"—and the Lion's Din will grow withthe college.

One of the most outstandingactivities of the Junior College,this year, was debating. The try-outs were held during an assemblyperiod in February so that thechosen teams would have sufficienttime to work out the debate.

The question for debate thisyear was Resolved: That install-ment buying as practised in theUnited States is both socially andeconomically desirable.

From the preliminary contestwere chosen Evelyn Peninger andHarold Mott, who took the affirm-ative side of the question, and twonegative teams, Gilmer Dixon andFred Wilburn, and Margaret Car-penter and Leona Marsh.

Our affirmative team, which wasthe first to debate went to Russell-ville Thursday, March 21 to meetthe Arkansas Tech team. The de-cision there was two to one in favorof the negative. They went to Ark-adelphia the next day to debate

"The Duchess Says Her Prayers''

The Junior College play "The Duchess Says Her Prayers"brought back two rewards in the Blackfriars theater tourna-ment at Fayetteville. One award was a trophy won for havingthe best play presented by junior colleges in Arkansas. Theother award was a cup presented to the group attaining thebiggest excellence in stage diction. This was open to competingsenior and junior colleges—and we won that too.

The cast of the play, directed by Miss Margaret Montaguewas as follows: Duchess of Bari, Evelyn Peninger; Duke ofBari, Ben Lobdill; Cecilia Gallerani, Betty Dodd.

The players accompanied by Miss Montague went to Fay-etteville Friday, March 28. The Blackfriars gave a tea for allrepresentatives that afternoon at the Chi Omega house. Sinceour play drew first place, the cast presented the play at 8:15o'clock on Friday evening. Those coming up to help with theproperty, and to lend mental, moral, and otherwise supportwere Fred Wilburn, Fulton Robinson, Laws Galloway, andGilmer Dixon. On Saturday, the Blackfriars gave a luncheonwith out of town visitors as their guests. Saturday night therepresentatives were special guests at the Freshman-Sopho-more dance.

Sunday morning a tired bunch came home—but proudlybearing their spoils!

uThe Importance of Being Earnest""The Importance of Being Earnest," by Oscar Wilde, was the title of

the second annual play which was presented by the Junior College studentsat the Senior High School, Friday, November 22, 1929. Because the playproved to be such an unusual success, it was taken to Mena, Arkansas,and presented on Thanksgiving day.

The part of the old maid was portrayed by Evelyn Peninger. She notonly saw that each young girl had a successful love affair, but managedsomehow to get a dashing hero for herself.

The part of Lady Bracknell was played by Lassie Youmans, in FortSmith, and by Francille Harrison in Mena. Both portrayed the characterwell. Lady Bracknell *was the domineering mamma who tried to preventthe love affairs in the play.

As in all plays, there were the charming young maidens and theirlovers, to furnish interest. These parts were played by Carrie Harrison andBetty Dodd, the lovers were Harold Mott and Ben Lobdill.

Although the Junior College basketball schedule was not extremelyheavy this year, the Lions came through with a small, but snappy, squadthat made up for lack of experience by an unsurpassable amount of pepand push. The only games played were with high school class teams andSt. Anne's Academy, but plenty of competition was offered, and everyscore was close. Only two games were lost, one to St. Anne's by a score of28-26, and to the Cubs 17-16. The other seven games were against classteams and all resulted in victories.

The success of the Junior College Lions was due at least in part to theservice of Mr. Shell as coach and Fred Wilburn as captain of the team.

The Lions entered the school intramural tournament with a good recordbehind, and a good chance of success ahead of them.

Girls' Tennis

Girls sports in the Junior College have been carried on in several differ-ent fields. The first of these activities was soccer. Then in succession camebasketball, volleyball, tennis, and golf.

The basketball season was very successful—the Junior College rankingsecond in the tournament. The team consisted of Reba Mae Vines, Captain;Gladys Guttry, guard; Ruth Coomer, forward; Evelyn Peninger, referee;Pauline Mullen, guard; substitutes, Hazel Presson, LaFern Jones, VirginiaSumpter, Mary Frances Buzbee, Lassie Youmans, Virginia Hawkins, andEvelyn Wood.

With the advent of spring, tennis and golf were taken up with en-thusiasm. A tennis club was formed and instructions in golf were given.Almost every day found groups of students on the golf links or on thetennis courts.

Although the girls won no great honors, they thoroughly enjoyedtheir sporting activities.

DEAN SCOGGIN DIXON HARRISON

Hazel Presson has been working diligently on this bock since the dayshe was elected editor in chief. She had the entire responsibility of theannual, but her ability and pep helped make it a success.

Laws Galloway has actually worked hard to get ads. We're sure he hadto walk quite a lot, but he didn't seem to mind—not this time anyway.Really, we don't see how anyone could refuse him because he is sogood-natured.

Fred Wilburn has had to do double duty, getting ads and also writing.He looks rather weary, but we know it is from outside activities and notfrom study.

Virginia Hawkins is not a journalist by choice, but any staff is betteredwhen Virginia turns in her copy.

Wesson Scoggin has been working on this book a long time. He had thedifficult task of getting us to have our pictures taken before the lastminute. Wesson is dependable and capable, two qualities that make him aplace on any staff.

Marguerite Dean, typical gum-chewing stenographer of the Junior Col-lege, has been indispensable in the work of getting out our annual. She hastyped all of the material for the paper, and did it willingly—that's whatcounts, too.

Carrie Harrison has written up several features for our annual. Sheis a capable member of the staff because she knows everyone.

Evelyn Peninger would be good on any staff because she is always inevery activity and knows what everyone is doing.

Harold Mott has obtained ads for the paper from a great many businesshouses. He seems to have a way with people—girls in particular.

Gilmer got ads for the annual, too. We heard that several men gave himmoney without requesting an ad, and now we're left to wonder if he didhis spectacular monkey scenes for them!

At the close of the school term of 1928-29, a group of Junior Collegegirls formed a society to which they gave the name of Sigma Chi Gamma.The colors of the society are yellow and white. An oath for formalinitiation was formulated by Margaret Carpenter and Margaret Whittlesey.

Officers of the society are Pauline Czarlinsky, president; Mary LouiseStough, vice-president; Nellie Mae Barrow, secretary; Helena Keller, treas-urer. Other charter members are Gladys Stone, Leona Marsh, MargaretCarpenter, Margaret Whittlesey, and Nellie Joyce.

The society met every two weeks throughout the summer and heldregular meetings once a month during the school term.

At the beginning of the first semester 1929-30, a group of girls wereinitiated into the society. They were Carrie Harrison, Virginia Sumpter,Dorothy Sumpter, Helena Keller, Betty Dodd, and Evelyn Peninger.

The Sigma Chi Gamma plans to keep on functioning as a regular col-lege society. The constitution has been adopted and a standardized pinselected for members.

Sigma Delta Chi

FROM LEFT To RIGHT: Greer, Jones, Galloway, Mott, Wilburn, Dixon, Scoggin.

Although Sigma Delta Chi is not strictly a junior college fraternity,practically all of the group are senior members, with only one or twoexceptions.

This fraternity has been one of the most active social organizationsof the college during the past year. The organization has given numerousweiner-roasts, informal parties, swimming parties, and hay-rides, besidesthe regular annual Christmas and dinner dances. A large number ofmeetings have been in the form of stag parties given by members.

Officers of the fraternity are Fulton Robinson, president; Harold Mott,vice-president; Fred Wilburn, secretary and treasurer; Gilmer Dixon,corresponding secretary; Wesson Scoggin, sergeant-at-arms.

CaesarCaesar is dead. Arrangements for his funeral are yet incomplete, but

' i t is relatively certain that I shall act as grave-digger and pall-bearer, forsuch loathsome household duties invarably fall on me. To say the leastI am satisfied that he died a natural death, and that there is no blood

\ whatever on my hands.

Caesar is a cat. I mean he was a cat before he became suddenly extinct—not an Angora, nor a Persian, nor a Manx, nor a Maltese, but just one of theordinary variety that could trace his ancestry back to his great-grand-mother's mother-in-law, and be content with that. But understand that Iam not the least bit sorry that he is dead. Neither would you be if you hadbeen forced to get up-at all hours in the frigid nights of winter to expurgeyour bed of grimalkin, or to hurl a shoe at a band of obliging feline seren-aders just outside your bedroom window. A cat is just like an alarm clock—you can never tell when its going to start a disturbance.

I can just see him now (for I am looking right at him), and I rememberLJim as he used to lie with every inch of his two and a half feet stretchedout before the fire, dreaming of milk and bread. He had no visions ofmice and sparrows, for he was too lazy to exert himself, even in orler toeat, and work very seldom pervaded his dreams. When it did, he had anightmare.

Caesar's height was as great in proportion as his length. He was abouta foot high (two feet when he was angry or excited, which makes anaverage of one and a h.alf feet). In his eating habits he was gluttonous(he ate more than I do), which,was.one of the reasons that I am glad tobe rid of him. He was as fat as a middle-aged woman on an eighteen-daydiet. Normally he weighed three pounds and four ounces, but once whenI weighed him directly after a meal (I mean his meal) he pulled thebalance down to an even six pounds.

All together, if my account is correct, he robbed me of. twelve hpurs(three full nights) of sleep, and has caused me more trouble than hewould be worth if he were solid platinum.

. Moral:.The best kind of cat is a dead one. —Dennis Harris

Childish Chatter

GILMER DIXON:The habit of "Singing in the Bathtub" was started early in life by Gilmer.(His monkey stunts were acquired later).

DOROTHY SUMPTER:Goo! Goo! I surely put on a nice big smile for the camera man.

BEN LOBDILL:I wanted everyone to see my little feet, so I stuck them out. Who doesn't seethem?

HAZEL PRESSON:Do I look like singing, in the tub? I like to swim, but not this way!

EVELYN PENINGER:See my pony? Guess I'm "kinda big" now, all out riding and everything.

EVELYN WOOD:I'm always happy. That is why I'm so sweet!

REBA MAE VINES:The million dollar smile baby.

LEONA MARSH:I started riding when I was little.

LAWS GALLOWAY:I must have been born lazy, because I always manage to find a chair so I can

rest in peace.

MARGUERITE DEAN:Let me play and sing, for dreams don't last always, you know.

LASSIE YOUMANS:I have learned a great deal in this world although I haven't lived here long.

FRED WILBURN:Fred got a real good start, so no wonder he's our pride and joy now.

HAROLD CHAFFIN:You can tell by my expression that a methematical mind will be my chief talent.

MARGARET WHITTLESEY:"Innocence Personified." But Oh! How looks betray.

MARGARET CARPENTER:I acquired my sweet smile when I had nothing to do but laugh at the world.

When We Were Very Young

Who's Who

Who's Who

The RoadWith heavy beating- hearts

And knees that scarcely bend,We've plodded along with weary steps

Following the road to the end.On! on! on!

Our heads held high in air;We've proudly struggled on and on

We've won and played it fair.

On! On! On!While the clouds above roll by,

And On! on! on!"Till the shades of night draw nigh.

There's joy in doing well;We've borne a Christian load

Though the weaker behind have totteredand fell

We've traveled on down the road.

On! on! on!Urged by some driving go^d

On! on! on!O'er the hot, thick, dusty road.

Slave, toil, and workWork, toil, and slave

With never a thought of duty to shirkWe work on to the grave.

Determined yet we plod along,So may a struggling soul,

Uphill and doiwn, through mud and mireTrudging on to the goal.

The sun is sinking yetAnd still another bend

Our brow is covered with bloody sweat0 God! will the road never end?

With heavy beating heartsAnd knees that scarcely bend,

We've plodded along with weary stepsFollowing the road to the end.

On! on! on!Our heads held high in air;

We've proudly struggled on and onWe've won and played it fair.

Wilmer: "I don't know."Mr. McGinn: "Correct."

Ben: "Just think! A man came into the musicroom and said, 'Not a sound or I fire!' "

Dennis: "Were you just going to sing?"

"The boy stood on the burning deck . . ."How often have we said it!

But may I add, that famous lad, deserved a loto>f credit?

He did a lot—that red-hot tot—he coined aphrase, in sooth,

For though the sheiks and shebas reign theselater days, it's very plain

That he forever will rem'ainThe foremost Flaming Youth!"
