YEARBOOK OF THE FORT SM
ALL the world is a stage and the men and women merely players." -SHAKESPEARE
1941
SMITH JUNIOR COLLEGE
Numa is a record of our rehearsals for our debut on the world stage." —THE EDITOR
THE CURTAIN OPENS.
A DEDICATION TO
MISS LUELLA KREHBIEL
AS A TRIBUTE of esteem and affection, we, the staff of the nineteen hundred forty-one Numa, dedicate this book to Miss Luella Krehbiel. This gracious lady meets every problem brought to her with unfailing- patience and understanding. Every student having contact with her can never forget her kindness and consideration of others. She will long remain in our memories as a person who ever strived to make our school a better one in which to study and live. For one whose guidance will ever serve as an inspiration to those in JC, we hope that this dedication will serve as a lasting expression of the great admiration and respect which we have for her.
Located at the "Gateway to the Ozarks," the beautiful mountains form a picturesque setting for the Fort Smith Junior College. It is easily available to the students of Fort Smith, Van Buren, and other cities in Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. In addition to the ninety thousand dollar stadium-building which consists of classrooms, the college office, a recreation room, and lockers, the students have access to a well equipped auditorium and school cafeteria. This year a new, modern arts and crafts building was opened to students interested in this type of work. While some classes are held in the senior high school building, the location of the rooms make possible an easy separation of college activities from those of the high school.

It is only through the able direction of the members of our faculty that our play has run a successful course.
They have had
patience while teaching us our lines; they have had individual interest in each character; and they have had confidence in the success of our production, all of which have been valuable aids to each member of the cast as he rehearsed his lines.
And so to our administrative officers,
faculty, and trustees, the entire cast offers its deepest appreciation as the curtain rises for the opening night.

Whose Advice and Encouragement Has
Assured Us Of A Successful Production
J. W. RAMSEY President
/ l S THE main director, it is to Mr. Ramsey that the cast owes its deepest appreciation and respect.
Although we did not come in
contact with him at each rehearsal, his influence was keenly felt. By his conscientious attitude, deep foresight, sincerity, and untiring effort to produce a successful production, Mr. Ramsey has assured us of a smooth performance on our opening night.
J. C. GIBSON ... Business Manager
MR.
GIBSON, as our business manager,
has played a vital part in the production of our play, for it is through his excellent judgment and knowledge of financial affairs that our play has been a financial success.
The
entire cast wishes to express deep gratitude to their business manager for the efficient service and executive ability he has displayed in handling the box-office receipts.
ELMER COOK Dean
T
O US, who have been under Mr. Cook's guidance, we feel that we are indeed fortunate. His patience while we have learned our lines and rehearsed our parts has been outstanding. His understanding of our problems and his willingness to be of service that we might have a successful production have been supreme.
By his excellent training in
direction, he has kept high the ideals and purpose of our drama and to him the entire cast expresses its appreciation.
J. W. REYNOLDS Assistant Dean
THE GREATEST of all playrights could not express in mere words the deep devotion of each member of the play cast for Director Reynolds. On hand at each rehearsal, he was always eager to discuss with cast members their personal problems. His sincerity and sympathy have won the confidence of each player, whose character he has helped to mold. Soon the final curtain of our play will have lowered and rehearsals will be but a memory. The leadership and influence of "The Dean" is an experience never to be forgotten.

A large part of the success of any production depends upon the players. In Fort Smith Junior College there is a part for every actor and an actor for every part, and so each individual personality adds a new character. As we glance at the program, we find that the members of the cast are selected from Fort Smith, Van Buren, and other sections in Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. As curtain time draws near, the characters rejoice in the fact that each rehearsal has brought to him many memories never to be forgotten—friends always to be remembered.

St Starring WILLIAM SENGEL'S sports c o l u m n , "Sengel Shots" proved to be a popular feature in "The Grizzly." Not only being chairman of its Editorial Board, he assumed and executed well his duties as Sports Editor of The Numa.
CAROLYN TAYLOR'S work as president of the Home Economics Club and her acting talent, contributed to her election. She was largely responsible for the re-organization of the club, as well as appearing in this year's Shakespearean Play.
HEDERICK TUTTLE held the most important of all student offices in our college, that of president of the Student Body. Variety Shows, Student Board activities, and active membership in other organizations merit "Hedy" this honorary position.
J. B. GARRISON, JR. was vice-president of the Student Body and one of the best debaters ever to attend JC. These are only two of the many activities that classify him as an outstanding student as well as a popular "fellow" on the campus.

MARY K. EAKIN was chosei because of her superioi scholastic record. Well-real and well-informed, her re election to Theta Phi Kapps proved her ability. She is| what we might call, tto teacher's ideal scholar.
BILl indk spee reco grac sing Perl bute wor!
JIM STACKABLE for the past two years has had the lead in the JC play as well as being president of the Freshman Class, the Sophomore Class, and the IRC, in addition to being student manager of the Debate Team.
BILL G O U L D ' S picture indicates his work with the speech department's voice recording machine. Bill's grades were marred by a single measely "B plus"! Perhaps this could be attributed to his extra-curricular work on JC radio programs.
WILLIAM MURPHY without question is the most appreciative of all the JC students of literature, music, and the other fine arts. William maintained a high grade average, was this year's IRC president, and co-author of our alma mater.
JIMMY DYER'S activities in JC were the Visual Education Program and arranging for the weekly JC assemblies. His work more than speaks for itself, and either of these important jobs would have sufficed for Jimmy's election.
KENNETH WADE had that all important job of arranging for and producing the semi-weekly Junior College radio programs, not to mention his role in"Much Ado About Nothing."
MARIAN STEPHENS is well known for her work on "The Grizzly," to which she was one of the main contributors. Marian not only debated and held a high scholastic position, but was one of the Numa Business Managers.
CLASS OFFICERS
FRESHMEN Headed by Presidents Bill Gould and Kruger Muse, first and second semester respectively, the Freshman Class flourished under such able leadership. Its activities included an all-JC Kid Party which was typical of our entertainment—a big success. As the year was nearing completion, it gave the well received Freshman-Sophomore Banquet. The other officers were: first semester, vice-president, Kruger Muse; second semester, vice-president, Jack Harmon; and Marian Stephens, secretary both semesters.

Glancing backstage, one finds that the various activities of college groups makes our junior college a community within itself. Assemblies are held once each week where students are introduced to various forms of group procedure. Basketball, track, softball, tennis, bowling, pingpong, and golf are a few of the sports in which junior college students participate. A college council, composed of student representatives, which sponsor various worthwhile activities, affords valuable training in self-government. A school paper, The Grizzly, reflects student life and gives excellent training in journalism, while the annual junior college play is one of the outstanding events of the year. Students who are interested in debate, band, orchestra, glee club, and dramatics represent the school in a number of contests. Each of these helps in forming a well-rounded life for each character in our drama.

Numa Staff Members of the Numa staff have worked hard to present to the students of Junior College a yearbook that will become dearer as the years go on. This volume is what everyone wants a yearbook to be, an informal book of class activities, social events, outstanding personalities, and advances that mark the rapid growth of Fort Smith Junior College. The period of 1940-41 has witnessed many unique changes, and you'll enjoy reviewing all the events that happened during this time. Featuring a spirit of informality, the staff members hope that this yearbook will will give you a lasting memory of your Junior College days.

REVIEW--SEPT. 7—Junior College of all kinds of knowledge once again opens its portals to all those desiring the best things in life (which ain't free). SEPT. 9—Last minute registrations—JC's population is the greatest ever. Poor "sophs" are outnumbered, but that's the only thing in which they're behind—they say. SEPT. 10—First assembly marked by the distinguished presence of J. C. (Chauncey) Thornton. SEPT. 12—JC bridge fiends wield finesses to the bloody end. SEPT. 16—Mary Margaret Womack decides in Economics that she is a liability to her parents— tsk! tsk! SEPT 17—Election—much ground lost in mud slinging. (This is an old one but we'll print it for
the benefit of those who haven't heard it.) SEPT. 19—Student Board "swings into action" under the able leadership of Hederick—tut! tut! SEPT. 20—Freshmen ponder their dismal future— one never knows, does one? SEPT. 24—Greenies have one last night of bliss at the Freshman Reception. Little man, what now? Numa staff approved with Gregory (Deadline) Falls as editor—"Sucker!" SEPT. 25—"Ye olde politicale machine" railroads fifty cent price on Numa through assembly. McKennon "boogey woogey's" on the piano. SEPT. 26—Fashion Note: "Large red bow ties are being worn this season by well dressed JC students, being especially popular Mondays and Thursdays."

Grizzly Staff All the members of The Grizzly staff have indeed shown themselves to be "gogetters" in the modern newspaper world, that is, the world of news just waiting to be had on the campus of the Junior College. Grizzly reporters are on the spot after every lecture to interview world renowned speakers. JC students get the benefit of clever feature stories, editorials, and thumb-nail characterizations. The combination of the college and high school papers last year has resulted in improved service to both interests.

Debate Team Last year the Debate Team made a name for itself, even though it was the first year of its existence. This year the members have lived up to precedent, not only in the hvOme state, but in a tourney of the Southern states. The team is made up of some of the ablest debaters in Fort Smith, students who have had experience in the field of argument. Mr. Patton, the debate coach, and Dean Reynolds, with the aid of the debate ciub, sponsored an invitation tournament for high schools in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The event is to become an annual affair under the sponsorship of the Fort Smith Junior College.
REVIEW OCT. 1—The "frosh" manage to stay one jump ahead of the "sophs"—It's Kangaroo Court! Moritandon and Porta croon a tune—and how! OCT. 3—JC sports reporter is "en the air." William Sengel reports for KFPW. OCT. 10—"Willie, da' two" Murphy succeeds "My Friends" Stackable as I. R. C. president. OCT. 14—Zoo students lose thirty amoebas—Paddock tears hair. No, the animals weren't in her curly locks. OCT. 16—Second annual JC "Cheapskate" results in doubling sale of "rubbing" alcohol. "Hay" Sengel heads Grizzly editorial board. OCT. 17—Pat Porta elected president of A Cappella choir. OCT. 18—Grind begins to tell, ''studints" wonder
if teachers will ever stop making such long assignments. OCT. 21—First intra-mural basketball game. The scourge of the campus, pink slips, make first appearance. Certain extremities of some students also turn pink. OCT. 22—Those aspiring to wear paint and wigs try out for JC play. Many frayed fingernails are in evidence as outcome is awaited. OCT. 24—Roosevelt is favorite in Grizzly's presidential poll. Willkie also got a vote. Student Board holds first dinner meeting. OCT. 28—Play cast announced. Some have no fingernails left. OCT. 31—Halloween. The Goblins'll get 'cha-if they think you're worth it.
REVIEW--NOV. 5—Frankfurter Frizzle fizzles. Assembly. James Groves and Hilton Kessler play piano. It wasn't "boogie-woogie," but— NOV. 7—No school (Exclamation point) Teachers' meeting. NOV. 11—Boys parade in Armistice parade. Cold snap. For sound of the snap, listen next year on this same day. NOV. 12—Lord Marley appears as first speaker in entertainment series. He assures us that we still have our common sense. That's something. NOV. 15—Debaters tussle with University of Arkansas,—no, we still have the roof. NOV. 16—Debaters in another joust. This time with University of Tulsa. NOV. 19—Say, the beauty candidates were nominated
in assembly. Oh, boy! First Variety show. Was it good, or was it? Well— NOV. 20—"Roosevelt's Thanksgiving." No vacation, though. Oh, well, they can't hang you for wishing. NOV. 21—Community Chest drive opens. No cracks here. Those in the jars serve the purpose. NOV. 22—Huh, oh! They're at it again. Debaters go to Arkadelphia for tournament. NOV. 23—Because of its historical significance, we put this Saturday on our calendar. The reason— Gregory Falls was left in Hot Springs by the debate team, but he got home, though. (That last clause should have been printed in invisble ink.) NOV. 26—Assembly. Doctor Evans gives devotional address.

International Relations The International Relations Club is perhaps the most popular organization on the campus. It is not difficult to get a full house when world politics are discussed in such an interesting manner. Fort Smith men who have studied international relations are guest speakers and discussion leaders. This year the club sent representatives to a convention at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No better illustration of democracy and freedom at work could be shown than by the excellent activities of this group of students.
REVIEW NOV. 27—He's beat she's in Community Chest contributions. He's: "Hot dog!" She's: "Aw-w, we wuz robbed." NOV. 28—Thanksgiving, this time with holidays. Whoopie doops!

DEC. 3—Skits of the JC play are given in assembly. It looks like a success! DEC. 4—Guy Hixson takes Mr. Curry's place. The JC advanced short hand students find out how much they don't know! ! ! DEC. 5—Numa organization pictures are taken.—
what, no broken cameras ? Oh, well, that's JC for "ya!" DEC. 6—It is a success. The "Third Floor Back" takes its place in the "plays" hall of fame. DEC. 9—Only 16 more days till Christmas, and only 23 more days of leap year left. What are the girls waiting on ? DEC. 10—JC's entertainment series brings H. R. Knickerbocker to Fort Smith. DEC. 11—Poor "Fresh" begin work on term papers. Oh well, we have "all the holidays" for that—or have we?

Sock and Buskin "If you have talent, if you are —
-." Why, as a matter of fact, all you need is an interest in the dramatic art, and you may become an active member of the dramatic clique. The students of play production keep an eye peeled for all lo'ose talent, and prospects are dramatically
quizzed and asked to become a member.
This club
takes charge of all the plays that are presented by the school. Needless to say, they do a superb job of it. Sock and Buskin may have the Barrymores and Hays of the future.

JAN. 6—National Guards mobilize. Where, oh, where have our little boys gone! JC Student Board not gone (to the army, at least). They prove it by holding dinner meeting. JAN. 9—Lions raise lid on basketball season by trampling De Molays. It looks like we'got sump'n! JAN. 13—Ah, woeful day! Frosh term papers due.
Supply of coal oil depleted. You're wondering why ? JAN. 14—Vil-ha-lmer (you spell it) Stefansson, famed Arctic explorer appears as the third speaker in the JC lecture series. JAN. 17—"Shes" (girls to you) entertain the "Hes" (boys to many) at long awaited Community Chest party. JAN. 20—You fill in the blanks from here to the 27th. We were busy studyin'! (Please take heed, dear teachers.) JAN. 27—Monotony breaks. So do our hearts, (and, incidentally, our grades.) JAN. 28 and 29—The same old story—more exams. JAN. 30 and 31—Peace, heavenly peace!

Science Club Turning to the side of those deep-minded scholars of JC, we see the members of the Science Club vigorously debating the possibility and probability of a hypothesis and its application in a particular case.
That's a round-about way of picturing the
interest in science taken by this group. Really, though, we are proud of these students who take time out to cultivate interests in things some might consider far from the "beaten path."
REVIEW FEB. 3—Six JC co-eds traverse the twenty-odd miles to a certain western Arkansas metropolis. We're also wondering why. FEB. 7—JC debaters divulge demon demonstration of daring doodling to make impressive showing at Mid-South tourney at Conway. FEB. 10—Sophronsiba is no more! However, "If at first you don't succeed— Harmon carries on without his beloved bird. FEB. 11—Dr. Will Durant closes JC entertainment series by exposing the "Crisis in American Civilization." FEB. 12—Some say "Call a spade a spade," but we say, "Call a heart a heart." Yes, the annual Valer.tine party. FEB. 13—Zoo students are still carving on those
poor sharks. (Who is the poorest, the students or the sharks!) FEB. 14—First JC sponsored High School Debate Tournament. Cn and on into the n'ght and when it stopped no one knew. FEB. 1C—Murphy and Falls present original composition which they desire to have chosen as JC's own "Alma Mater." FEB. 20—Sock and Buskin imitates Ku Klux Klan in initiation of unsuspecting dramatists. FEB. 24—Gone but not forgotten, Mr. Reynolds makes annual pilgrimage to American Association of Junior Colleges convention in Chicago. FEB. 27—JC again proves that "variety" is the spice of life.

MARCH 7—James Baxter Garrison, Jr. goes into competition with Einstein with his enviable six point grade average. Several others also qualify for Theta Phi Kappa. Debaters close their season in state meet at North Little Rock. MARCH 9—Delegates Tuttle, Stackable, Muse, and Pugh return from the IRC Convention at Baton Rouge (or was it New Orleans?). MARCH 10—Student Board takes over financial worries much to their regret—and to the joy of the Dean.
MARCH 11—Assembly attendance dwindles considerably. "Prexy" Tuttle blows off his shell. Compulsory attendance favored by many. Says who?!! MARCH 14—Basketball players are rewarded for their efforts during the season. Will they get those sweaters ? For results of season, consult sports section. MARCH 17—Rain, rain, go away, and don't come back Wednesday and ruin that intra-mural track meet again. MARCH 18—Our debaters cut capers with high school kids at NFL banquet. Assembly. We don't recall what Tuttle blew today, but it was worth writing home about. MARCH 19—Why did they ever invent relays anyway? We had that track meet won until the last go-around.

Home Economics Club The Home Economics Club is affiliated with the national organization for home economics clubs. The local group offers the girls of JC the opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge in the science of cooking, sewing, home management, budgeting, and the other hundred-and-one things that every future homemaker should know. Besides carrying on the activities suggested by the national group, the members have put their knowledge to practical use as well. Each month the Home Economics Club plans the Student Board dinners, and their work in this instance has added greatly to the enjoyment of Board meetings. It is no wonder that this active group of girls is increasing its membership by "leaps and bounds."
REVIEW--MARCH 21—Where did it come from? A'ha—the JC snoop got a scoop by printing all he knew in the first issue of the "De-tail News."
APRIL 1—175 attend JC assembly. April fool! The Shakespearean class puts on a fine performance in "Much Ado About Nothing."
MARCH 22—Off to Little Rock go our home economics girls. Could it be her own "cooking" that incapacitated our own C. T. ?
APRIL 3—Right this way, folks. Have your fortunes told in the ruins of ancient Greece. The Dionne Quintuplets and "Barker" Sengel take prizes for the best costumes at the masquerade party.
MARCH 24—"Yehudi" carries on for our dear old Alma Mater in the intra-mural track meet. The JC tracksters just weren't there. MARCH 25- —Those sizzling frankfurters finally frizzle at the picnic for all JC sponsored by the Sock and Buskin. MARCH 26—They will have those long-awaited basketball sweaters after all. Goodbye, activity fund! MARCH 27 and 28—We sing like the birdies sing— and why not? Ha, it's Spring Vacation.
APRIL 8—Well cut my classes and call me unexcused absence! "No more cuts the rest of this semester," quoth and unquoth the Dean. APRIL 9—"Chas" and "Buckwheat" explore previously unknown ( ? ) field of science. Rumor has it that pulse beating rates were taken. APRIL 11—Announcement that Numa will be combined with Bruin next year biings consternation to Frosh.

gained membership in this elite society are to be congratulated on possessing qualities that have made then outstanding: scholastic ability, leadership, and school spirit. What more cou.ld be asked? These persons are largely responsible for making Junior College what it is today, a school that is well-known in the state of Arkansas.
REVIEW APRIL 15—Spring fever worms its way into the lives of JC students. In the spring- a JC student's mind lightly turns from thoughts of—study. APRIL 18—JC represented for the first time at the Mississippi Valley Press Association Convention in Memphis. APRIL 22—Representative Floyd Barham hands out the "low down" on Arkansas Legislature in Assembly. APRIL 29—Home "Ec" girls in assembly. Final Variety Show of the year. It goes without saying that it was a big hit. MAY 1—Last minute worries cf graduation. Negative hours, etc., keeps every JC'er from dancing around the May pole. MAY 8—Zoo hopefuls munch on rats and dissect nutty chocolate bars—ugh!!!

Future Teachers of America Last year the Numa wished the Future Teachers of America continued success, and this year we have seen that wish come true. The myth that teachers are forever sitting about with their noses tucked in the ageless voluimes of a philosophical treatise has been exposed as an exaggerated untruth. The FTA of the Junior College are the leaders of tomorrow, persons well-trained to go out and revolutionize methods in the field of education. This club sponsored one of the most successful parties 'of the year, the Valentine party. Who said teachers couldn't come down to earth and enjoy life ?

A Cappella Choir Choir members are loud in their praise for Miss Opal Clark, who has been largely responsible for the enjoyment they have had from membership in this organization. Beginning with a pure love of music, they have derived a greater appreciation of all music. The only regret voiced by choir members is that they cannot meet more than once a week. Perhaps next year this can be arranged.

BASKETBALL Determined to enter college competition a f t e r several years of play confined to independent circles, the Lion basketeers, ably coached by Frank Jones, went through a stiff 1941 schedule winning thirteen games t n d losing nine. These games included four college contests as well as competition in the district and state AAA tournaments. Coach Jones, in his first season at the helm of the Lion cagers, proved to be an able mentor and quickly won the respect of his players who responded to his instructions with rapid improvement. Ten players remained out for practice through the entire season, and everyone of them upheld the true sportsmanship and spirit of the Junior College. The Lions worked hard and always stayed in the thick of the fight until the final gun. They were rewarded with a successful season that not only established the Junior College as a formidable team this year, but set a precedent for Lion teams in the future. Hail to Coach Jones and his Lions who carried high the Blue and White!

THE SQUAD GRADY GARRISON-Grady Glen was a hard-working guard with real team spirit. BILL GENE HENDRICKS-Bill had that reach and pep it takes to make an outstanding center. BILL ROTERT-The "Rat" was a smart player who always came through with his share of points. DOYLE C O L E - A n expert ball handler, "Dolly" had a sharp eye for the basket. FRED BAKER-"Skeeter" made plenty of baskets and stood out on the defense.
Behind the lights, the curtain, and the glitter of the stage, there is a powerful force forever seeming to say, "The play must go on.'' This force is composed of people who believe in us and lend their financial support—the producers. To them we offer our most sincere gratitude for an attentive audience, the city's good will, and the confidence they have in us at all times. Long after the curtain has fallen on the last act of our drama and our curtain calls have been made, we will remember our silent partner who made it all possible.
