J. W. RAMSEY As president of the Junior College, Mr. Ramsey has made the students and faculty proud of him because of his administrative and educational capabilities.

Mr. Ramsey is an outstanding educator and well-known citizen of Fort Smith and the surrounding territory that the Junior College serves. The establishment of a Junior College of recognized scholastic rating is\ due to the efforts of Mr. Ramsey's knowledge of educational trends and his philosophy of education.

Now that the dream of a new JC has become a realization he will be very influential in helping the school attain even higher goals than ever.

A new incorporated school board was the result of action taken last fall in preparing the college to move to the new location.

The school was fortunate to have such a fine group of upstandirig citizens serving on the board. These six men are all leaders in their respective fields in civics affairs.

The class of 1951 would like to thank the school board members for their work on the new school.

ELMER COOK

Mr. Cook, serving his second year as Dean of the College, publicized the Junior College and the JC Building Fund with the revival of the JC Lecture Series. He spoke many times at places in his effort to get public opinion behind the New Junior College movement. Definitely his work did not go unheeded, because by the end of the year the college staff was preparing to move to the new quarters. On behalf of the students, the Numa staff would like to say, "Thanks for everything!"

Sometimes when things weren't going so well, this situation arose. Not many times did Bill have to use his "billy-club" on his staff, but you can see that the staff didn't take him too seriously.

"Great minds run on the; same track" seems to be the case here. Notice the smirks on the faces of the journalism students. Maybe they're ail thinking of the same joke.

FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS AND SPONSORS The very capable freshman vice president for the first semester was Peggy Boatright. Peggy did an excellent job as vice president, but she rendered her greatest service when she took over the presidency upon the resignation of Tommy Williamson early in the year. She participated in all school activities and proved to be a very capable leader.

Carolyn Dooly, an efficient first semester secretary-treasurer, was of service to the freshman class often. Her cheerful disposition and school spirit doubled her usefulness as an officer. She is one of whom the freshman class can be proud.

During this year, Bob Rhyne was very active in school affairs. His big smile and warm disposition won for him many friends.

Bob was elected second semester freshman

president and proved to be a very efficient officer. The second semester was a very profitable one, and we are all proud of Bob's fine work to make it that way.

The second semester freshman vice president was Wayne Womack. He fulfilled all of his duties with the efficiency and good nature that made him so popular with all of his acquaintances. Wayne did all that was requested of him without complaint, and did it well.

The freshman class could not have picked a better secretary-treasurer for the second semester than Barbara Alley. Barbara's loyalty and friendliness are unsurpassed. Better and more consistent work could not be asked for. All of Junior College is grateful fcr the service she has rendered.

Ollie

Bland

As Mr. President for the first semester.

Ollie proved his worth to the students and the school when, under the guidance of Dean Elmer Cook, he re-instituted the Junior College lecture series.

Besides being outstanding in many school organizations. As proof of his outstanding ability, Ollie was elected the boy most likely to succeed.

Peggy

Boatright

Peggy came to JC this year with more pep and personality than four average people could use in a lifetime.

Peggy was elected head cheerleader, vice president of the freshman class, and the most popular girl. As co-director of the variety show, Peggy showed her artistic ability in creating spectacular costumes. Her versitality with a drawing pen is shown by her work in the yearbook.

Bill

Center

"Mr. Editor", the title Bill Center's coworkers gave to him, has been one of the most versatile workers in JC. As the editor of the "Lion's Roar" he proved himself an outstanding student journalist; and as the director of the variety show, he showed his ability and originality in producing that fine performance.

Next year, JC will miss Bill's wit and friendliness.

Barbara Cooper /

Friendliness plus—one need look no further after he meets Barbara if he wants friendliness, personality, and cooperation all rolled into one. Scholastic rating was Barbara's big goal in JC, but she also had time for other things such as Music Guild and Phi Theta Kappa. Barbara will long be remembered as a true friend to everyone.

Barbara

Flinn

Barbie made her mark in JC this year as an outstanding student, not only because of her scholastic ability, but because of her extra-curricular activities.

Barbie served as secretary in almost all of the organizations to which she belonged. Barbie will always be remembered for friendliness and willingness to cooperate on all projects.

Doris

Graham

Doris was known by her fellow students for her winning smile and her willingness to enter into any student body activity. Her diligence and hard work are shown by success in issuing the unique yearbook of which she served as editor. Some of the other activities Doris served include the student board, FTA, and Music Guild.

Anne

Kasten

Well known for her dramatic accomplishments and her scholastic ability, Anne will be remembered most for her pleasant smile and her willingness to help. Even though she was voted most studious girl, she had time for many outside activities.

BettyKilgore Even though Betty left at the end of the first semester, she will be remembered for her outstanding work as chairman of the entertainment committee for the first semester. Betty worked untiringly on all school parties and always managed to make them a big success.

TommyOliver Tommy came to Junior College and immediately began to show his worth when he took over the job fo assistant editor of the Lion's Roar. Tommy was outstanding in his journalistic ability and also in his scholastic accomplishments.

Mary

Anne

Schmidt

Some people are just naturally everybody's friends. This is the way Mary Anne can be classified. Always willing to help anyone, anytime, anywhere, Mary Anne proved the spirit of co-operation. Because of her scholistic achievements, Mary Anne definitely earned her title as an outstanding student.

Nancy

Yarbrough

Efficiency seems to be Nancy's middle name. She proved her worth to the Numa staff in her willingness to do anything that was asked of her. As most beautiful girl, Nancy has not broken the famous line of Junior College beauties. Nancy was also outstanding in her work on the Lion's Roar as writer and typist.

Sue

Ella

Young

A cute girl with a sweet smile fits Sue Ella to a "T". As student body president second semester, she proved very definitely her ability in leadership and willingness to carry out orders. Sue Ella will not soon be forgotten by her fellow classmates.

THE NUMA STAFF The Numa staff has worked hard this year to produce a yearbook that JC would remember and cherish. Under the guidance of Miss Hazel Presson, Doris Graham, and Tom Oliver, the staff worked under a new set-up which featured the process of lithographing for the first time in the journalism department.

In spite of the usual trials and tribulations that beset a yearbook staff, the 1950-51 Numa is here and the staff presents it with the hope that everyone is well pleased.

Staff members Margaret McAlister, Nancy Yarbrough, and Bill Center look over old Numas in order to get new ideas to use in the '51 Numa.

The announcement that the Numa v/ould be lithographed this year instead of printed created new interest in the yearbook. Among the interested students looking over lihographed copies of other college yearbooks are Nancy Yarbrough and Connie Lichty, seated; -and Ollie Blan, Franklin Harrison, Stanford Thompson, and Joanna Evans, standing.
