NUMA 1947

Published by the Students of Fort Smith Junior College, Fort Smith, Arkansas

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.

Outstanding Dane Clay held the most coveted position in JC the first semester—student .body president.

Dane was also active in many organizations and contributed much to the variety show. He als<c maintained a high scholastic record.

Betty Ann Embrey was vicepresident of the student body the first semester, made arrangements for all assembly programs, and maintained a high scholastic average. Betty Ann well deserves this recognition.

Betty Hinton was chosen because of her active participation in school activities. She was feature editor of The Numa and student director of the Sock and Buskin play, "The Little Foxes."

Oscar Cooper was president of the sophomore class the first semester, associate editor of The Numa, and a member of the staff of The Grizzly. These are only a few of the activities that marked him as an outstanding student.

Miles Jameson's work as editor of The Numa and as a producer of the variety show helped him win recognition as an outstanding student. He was also a member of the Student Board during the first semester.

Students Joe Day was president of the freshman class the first semester and also was head of Sock and Buskin. Joe was active in athletics, being a member of the JC Lions and of the winning intra-mural football and basketball teams.

Robin Freeman was selected because of her remarkable work as secretary of the Student Board the first semester and as a producer of the variety show.

Whenever a helping hand was needed, Robin was always around to assist.

Dawn Smith was chosen because of her superior scholastic record. Well-read and well-informed, she is what we might call the ideal scholar, and her records prove that she is indeed an outstanding student.

Reba Mae Kasten had that allimportant job as director of the JC variety show, but this alone did not win her this recognition. She was also active in many organizations and maintained a high scholastic record.

Espert Sugg was president of the Student Christian Association and was active in its organization. Espert was also a member of the Student Board and contributed much to student government in our college.

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.
