In this volume of the "Numa" we have tried to show the record of the events that happened in the year that passed and the Spirit of Student Life. We hope the book will serve in recalling happy memories of the 1932-33 term at the Fort Smith Junior College.
Editor-in-Chief RALPH McMURTREY Business Manager PAUL SULLINS
F O R E W OR D The Staff of the 1933 Numa, has earnestly worked to present to you, the students of the Fort Smith Junior College, a record of events of the past year which, now and later as the years go by, will be of most interest to you— your classmates, your athletic organizations, your class rivalries, and scenes around the campus. We hope that our efforts toward this end will be acceptable to you.
DEDICATION To Clarence McGinn, dean of men, a scholar, a gentleman, and a man of untold worth to the Junior College, this volume of the "Numa" is respectfully dedicated.

For let the Philosopher and Doctor preach Of what they will and what they will not—each Is but one link in an eternal chain That none can slip, or break, nor over reach.
For in and out, above, about, below, 'Tis nothing but a magic shadowshow, Play'd in a box whose candle is the sun, 'Round which we phantom figures come and go.
And if the wine you drink, the lip you press, End in the nothing all things end in— yea— Then fancy while thou art, thou art but what Thou shalt be—nothing—thou shalt not be less.
For we know not every morrow Can be sad; So, forgetting all the sorrow We have had, Let us fold away our fears, And quit our foolish tears, Just be glad.
The worldly hope men set their hearts upon Turns ashes—or it prospers; and anon, Like snow upon the desert's dusty face, Lighting a litte hour or two—is gone.

PRESIDENT OF COLLEGE
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Every institution has its beginning. The Fort Smith Junior College opened its doors for the first time in the autumn of 1928, hence, this year marks the close of a half-decade of service. Its growth and developement has not been phenomenal. Three of the five years of its existance have been depression years. Naturally, the expansion of the college has been hindered, just as every other enterprise has been slowed down. After five years of existance, however, the Fort Smith Junior College is well established and has become an integral and permanant division of the public school system of Fort Smith. For its future enlargement and growing importance we have a definite feeling of assurance. It is the hope of the administration that during these trying times a firm foundation, in the form of an aggressive college spirit, an abiding loyalty to the institution's ideals, and a prophetic vision of its future greatness, may be securely fixed in the hearts and minds of every member of the student body, faculty, and community.

ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS are always necessary if a college is to be a While the Junior College hasn't a great number of organizations yet every student can find at least one club which appeals to his particular tastes. In the governmental field, the officers from the two classes and the student body form the student council, which works in the best interest of the college. The "Lions Din" staff has worked under several handicaps this year. The staff members should be highly commended for their efforts. Their reward has been the eagerness with which the students have welcomed each issue of our paper "Lion's Din." The staff of the other Junior College publication, "The Numa," has tried faithfully, to carry on the school tradition that each succeeding Numa is better than its predecessor. Those students interested in gaining a clear persceptive of world affairs find the "Inter-National Relation's Forum" a great aid. This club has proved very instructive as well as entertaing. When it comes to good times, the student body looks to Sword-Fish Club, the most socially inclined oranization of the entire school. Theta Phi Kappa, honor society, is the incentive for high scholastic achievements. The Junior College always presents an annual play, the cast of which is chosen from the student body. This play is one of most important events of the school year. In these plays, the students in addition to receiving valuable dramatic ability, also gain knowledge of make-up, lightening, stage settings and in fact all phases of play production. Each organization along with its particular activities also sponsors a Junior College assembly program. The members of these societies are the students who support all school activities. They are the ones that make it evident the Junior College will continue to progress.
As President of the Student Body of the Fort Smith Junior College for the past school year, I have derived a genuine pleasure and much honor. In reflecting o v e r the achievements of the past year, one is reminded of many pleasant happenings. To go back to the beginning of the year, there was a wonderful response to the call of the gridiron when a large percentage of the boys turned out in an unusual way. In that connection due credit must be given to the ever faithful pep organization which was so instrumental in carrying out the student loyalty. What was true of football was likewise true of the other sports. Two organizations new to our campus appeared during the year. The first one to be organized was christened the Swordfish Club and around it centered many of the social affairs of the college. A short time later there appeared an organization of a more serious nature, The Internaitonal Relations Forum. This club has as its purpose the furtherance of international understanding and peace. The other activities and organizations have progressed in an optimistic and encouraging manner. I am very ambitious for the Junior College and it is my sincere wish that the college will continue to progress in the future and that in a short space of time we will find the college developing rapidly in a new and separate building.

HE SWORD-FISH CLUB was chartered last semester primaily for purpose of encouraging the right kind of school spirit. The memT bers have certainly accomplished this and at the same time have had a grand time. Any sophomore or freshman indicating his desire to participate in the various Sword-Fish activities is welcomed. Though the club has sponsored various social events, they also have proved that they aren't afraid of work. One of their chief projects was the purchase of the Junior College Football sweaters last fall. Sword-Fish members are also prominent as members of athletic teams, other organizations and as class officers. With Mary Margaret Kayser as president and Miss Peggy Paddock as sponsor, the club has had a very successful year. May they have many more.

International Relations Forum is the successor in the Junior College to the Forum of last year. Both were organized to instruct the members concerning international affairs. However, the International Relations Club has the additional purpose of promoting international peace. This Club is a chaper of an international college organization supported by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. This year the Carnegie Endowment wasn't able to provide each chapter with a prominent speaker as heretofore but valuable books and pamphelts have been received. The interesting bi-weekly meetings are characterized by short talks by members, speeches by invited guests and round-table discussions.
COACH KEITH Coach Keith, once again overcame trying handicaps and turned out one of the snappiest elevens in this section. With few lettermen back, "Coach" had to rely on new students primarily. Mr. Keith attended school at Texas Tech/ where he was rated as one of the best guards in the state. He not only showed the boys how to play, but furnished the courage and zeal which makes great players.

Marion Narisi is all an end should be and more. He makes up for his size by hard work. Walter Walkord, end, had a good season despite a knee injury which bothered him tremendously. Clair Bates was one of the outstanding stars of the seasons. He showed this by his kicking, pass receiving, and plenty good broken field running. Reid Cox, student Manager. Cox got his training in the same capacity managing for the Grizzlies. He assisted "Coach" Keith in many ways,
Charles Carter is another good lineman who showed up well during the entire season. Vincent Paino graduated from Saint Annes where he wras a valuable football player. He upheld his reputation by playing good football. Harry Adkins, probably the fastest man on the squad. Harry was too light for regular duty but will probably develop into a good player next year.
PRICE
KEITH
SINGLETON
GREENFIELD
Wesley Price, back, is splendid broken field runner. He is a distinctive asset to any football team. Clifford Keith, diminutive athlete from Texas, made a good showing at half back and end. He won the coveted letter for his services. Buddy Singleton is one of the flashiest backs to play for Jaycee. His Generalship was very effective. Oren Greenfield of Greenwood was the best l:'neman of the team. He was in the thick of every play.
Numa
Prentiss Ware is another good football man from Greenwood. Prentiss has another season before him. Rodney Crowe, center, was an utility lineman who played most of the games. Anywhere they needed someone "Crowe" tried for that position. Earl Morley, short and dumpy, that's Ear). One of the most consistent lineman ever to play football in Fort Smith. Sam Scott, lineman, made up for his inexperience by hard work. Sam played anywhere he was placed, as was shown in the Wilburton game wheri ne played every position on the line.
Billy Eshelman played a good game at end when given a chance. "Bill" was too diminutive for the opposing linemen. Leon Reese, back, is another of Coach Kieth's backfield men who showed up well through the entire season. Myrle White is another small man to play in the backfield. He was always trying hard and giving everything he had. Shannon Ford, center, "Hank" broke into most the games and showed up well.
COACH JOHN R. THOMPSON
Coach Thompson has built a splendid basketball team out of the material present. With only four lettermen back, "Coach" has built a team equal to most of the senior colleges. Mr. Thompson attended school at Hendrix College when he was one of their outstanding stars in all phases of athletics. He knows what to do and how it is done. He always goes into the hard work with vim and vigor, and puts over his program in good shape.
The tennis team this year is one of the best in the school's history. It is too early as yet to predict games or losses, but the team should win quite a few matches. They are planning to enter the state tennis tournament.
