Dedication
We, the students of Fort Smith Junior College, dedicate the 1947 Numa to the veterans of World War II enrolled in our college—to those who helped make it possible for us to seek education in a free country. They not only did this for us, but they improved our morale and gave us a sounder attitude toward education than we might otherwise have had. They have shown us that there is a time for work and a time for play and that the two must not be confused. It is with thought of these and other things they have done for us, that we take this opportunity to thank them in our small way by dedicating this book to them.

SCHOOL BOARD .
These civic leaders who represent Fort Smithians in planning the city's educational program have helped JC expand its offerings in a period of serious need. One change in board membership occurred this year, Mrs. W. D. Powell succeeding Dr. Ralph Crigler when his term expired. Raymond F. Orr was elected president when John P. Woods retired from that post, and J. Fred Patton succeeded Mr. Orr as vicepresident. To all board members JC students extend sincere appreciation for their fine work. Mrs. W. D. Powell
J. W. RAMSEY . President
President of Fort Smith Junior College since it was founded, Mr. Ramsey has worked tirelessly to make the institution one which capably serves the community. The result is a school of which we may all be proud and for which a greater future may be foreseen. Under Mr. Ramsey's guidance, we may feel assurance that the school's program of enlargement and of broadened service will be realized. To him the students and the community extend their thanks.
ELMER COOK Principal
One of the main reasons that our college has attained the position it holds today is the undying loyalty and the never-ceasing efforts of Mr. Cook. He has been associated with JC since its beginning. His counsel has -been an important factor in helping the college attain recognition as an institution with sound ideals of citizenship and scholarship.
L A. RUTLEDGE , Dean
Although this was Mr. Rutledge's first year as dean of our college, he quickly was recognized as an able and friendly administrator. Always ready to help us and to listen to our suggestions, he never lacked opportunities to do both. We shall never forget his favorite answer, "I'll see what can be done" We knew that if it were wise and at all possible, it would be done.

Basketball After a lapse of four years, the Lion basketeers once again encountered collegiate competition in a stiff 1947 schedule. Handicapped by lack of height and by inexperience, they compiled a season record which was not too impressive but which showed steady improvement throughout the season Coach Jones, again at the helm after serving four years in the armed forces, displayed his old form as an able coach. Despite the handicap of inexperienced players, he was able to develop a team that gave a good account of itself in every contest. Sixteen players remained out for practice through the entire season and every one of them worked hard and stayed in the thick of the fight until the final whistle. They upheld the tradition of JC in their sportsmanlike conduct and through the fighting spirit they displayed.

JOE DAY—"Little Boy" was always good for a basket and was sure for points on free shots. EARL HARPER—A good shot with lots of jump. "Sleepy" should see much action next year. ROY GEAN—A good ball handler, "Wonder Boy," was also a valuable defensive guard. JACK HO WARD—Smoothness on the floor and a real jump shot combined to make "Pop" a forward that's hard to beat. JAMES GODDARD—Equally good on defense and offense, "Curly" was a hustling guard. BOB ROBERTSON—A good center, "Play Boy" had a follow shot hard to beat.
LEWIS ROEBUCK—Slow but sure, '"Roe" could be depended on for a good game at guard. GERALD EDWARDS—He showed up well at guard and was an ace dribbler. MARVEL RHYNE—"Romeo" is a center who is a real threat to his opponent. WINBURN JACOBS—With one season's experience, "Windy" should be a valuable man next year. BENNY WINBORN—"Shorty" had plenty of speed and was a hard-working guard. BUDDY OSBORNE—He proved himself a good guard with lots of fight and spirit. GEORGE BEAL—No comment, Wait till next year for "Junior." RICHARD VESTAL—"Open the Door" improved with every game.
