NUMA 1959 FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS
For her ever faithful, u n t i r i n g d e s i r e to help her fellowman; For her many unknown duties p e r f o r m e d for the benefit of J. C. in the community; For her f i n e and f a i t h f u l qualities as a t e a c h e r ; The 1959 NUMA Staff dedicates this y e a r ' s NUMA to - MRS. R U T H GANT
In your own life be a friend to as many people as you can. They need your friendship. Your life is enlarged in proportion to the friendships you have, to the knowledge which people have of your own v i r t u e s . Your task in life is immeasurably simplified when people think you are a f r i e n d , for they learn only
from
those whom they like. No one has ever been known to treasure the rich intellectual nuggets which his enemy gave to him. A good life always depends on the number of f r i e n d s you have, and it will continue to be this way.

November 20, 1958 Miss Eutonia Cluck Editor of the Yearbook FORT SMITH JUNIOR COLLEGE Grand Avenue & Waldron Road Fort Smith, Arkansas Dear Miss Cluck: I must tell you that of all the requests that have come to me this year the delightful burden of choosing your "beauties" has been the most gratifying. I must say that EVERY picture you sent had grace, charm and intelligence. I would appreciate it if you would so inform all of the girls whose pictures I have looked at, for there was not one exception. A choice among so many who deserve to win is, of course, a very personal one. All I can say is that it was difficult to make. May I take this opportunity to wish you and all at Fort Smith Junior College much happiness and a Merry Christmas.

JIMBRAGAN - 5'11" Freshman Forward from Fort Smith Probably the fastest moving player on the squad, Jim's fierce determination, dogged persistence, and will to win earned him a place on the traveling squad during the latter part of the season. His fine attitude and cooperative spirit earned him an even finer spot in the hearts of his teammates.
DALE BROWN - 6'1" Sophomore Forward from Muldrow, Oklahoma Letterman during the 1957-58 season. .. aggressive board man.. .fine jump shooter.. .Left school at semester to v join Uncle Sam's Marines.
JOE GELZINE - 6'4 1/2" Freshman Center from Fort Smith Altho lacking in experience, Joe became one of the best Lion post players in years. His fierce determination, aggressive board play, and unerring jump shot lifted him to the second spot in Lion scoring during the season. His 43 points against Sayre J.C. set a new individual single game scoring record for Lion players. Joe's height, weight, and experience figure prominently in the Lion's hopes for another Conference Championship during the 1959-60 season.
JOHN ENGLAND - 6'1" Freshman Forward from Fort Smith With no previous high school experience, Johnny developed throughout the season to the point where he showed tremendous potential. His terrific jumping ability and his smooth movements on the floor give him a fine chance at the starting five next year.
CHARLES LOUM - 5'11" Sophomore Guard from Fort Smith With no high school experience whatever, "Lum" progressed to one of the starting guard positions with the loss of Giddens. His fiery defensive play, aggressive driving layups, and uncanny ability to feed the open player made him a fine asset to the squad. His enthusiasm and team spirit made hisvalue to the team immeasurable. Because of his value he was named a letterman in both his freshman and sophomore seasons.
SIDNEY MARTIN - 5'11" Freshman Guard from Fort Smith Sid's dogged determination to excell and improve made him the most improved member of the Lion squad. Though participating very little in actual competition, Sid displayed the spirit of team play, being always ready when called upon. Further improvement of the kind shown during the 1958-59 season make Sid a fine guard candidate for next year.
LEWIS GRIFFITH - 6 f l" Freshman Forward from Charleston Lacking high school experience and forced to spend more time in studying, Lew was lost to the squad at the end of the first semester. Using an accurate one-handed push shot and rebounding extremely well, Lew showed his potential for next season.
JAMES HUMPHREY - 6'1" Freshman Guard from Roland, Oklahoma Probably the best defensive player on the squad, "Humph's" inability to round into condition prevented his regular play with the Lions. His rugged defense and great desire make him a good candidate for next season.
BILL MOSS - Freshman 6'1" Forward from Fort Smith A fine defensive man, determined floor player, and a good outside shooter, Bill developed into a fine player during the second semester. His tremendous potential make him a leading prospect for the 1959-60 edition of the Lions.
RON GREEN - 6'3" Sophomore Forward from Lavaca Ron's tremendous jump shot, delicate tip-ins, and tremendous rebounding made him the leading scorer on the Lion squad and second-high scorer in Lion history. Because of his aggressive play, pinpoint passing, and leadership abilities, he was elected Captain of the 1958-59 squad by his teammates. A two year letterman, Ron will be sorely missed next season.
DEWEY SHOCKLEY - 6'4", 200 pound Center from Waldron Afflicted with leg trouble throughout the first semester and never quite rounding into condition, Shock became one of the finest rebounders during the second semester. His aggressive work under the basket and his tremendous desire put him in good position for a starting berth next year.
JAMES REYNOLDS - 6'2" Freshman From Fort Smith With no high school basketball background, James became a very fine addition to the Lion squad and contributed greatly to its success. One of the fine rebounders and jump shooters, Jim never said "quit" at any time. His tremendous potential and scoring ability make him a leading candidate for the starting forward berth next season.
RALPH VINES - 6*4", 180 pound Center from Greenwood His sweeping left-handed hook shot, tough rebounding, and fine defensive play soon earned Ralph a starting berth in his first semester. His determination to learn to play defense made him most valuable throughout the season. Teaming with Gelzine at the post positions, he became the third leading scorer on the Lion squad. A letterman his freshman year, he is expected to produce even greater feats next season.
JIM WYATT - 6'0" Sophomore Guard from Branch Selected by his teammates as Co-Captain for the 195859 season, Jim's performance as the team's outside man was tremendous. His fast-break layups, close in jump shots, quick feeds to breaking men, and untiring defensive play-made him one of the most valuable men on the squad. Anxious to take the toughest of the opponents to guard, Jim was happiest when holding a potentially high scorer to almost nothing. His fine play and leadership ability, tho a great loss to next year's Lions, will be a great addition to another team somewhere.
GEORGE TA KINGTON - 6'1" Freshman Center from Lavaca By far the best ball-handling post man on the squad and with a knack for moving about quite freely with the big men under the basket, George was extremely valuable to the Lion team throughout the season. At his very best with defensive men all about him, his fine passes set up many Lion baskets by his teammates. Although only 6'1" , George was his happiest when clearing a rebound of the backboards, a feat he accomplished with regularity. George is almost assured a starting berth next season after his fine play this year.
DANA DOOLY - Student Manager Lavaca Sidelined by a knee operation during the 1957-58 season, Dana assumed the duties as squad "stooge" when the knee failed to respond this season. His interest, enthusiasm, experience, and attentiveness to Lion players contributed greatly to the success of this year's team. A great ball player in his own right, Dana never complained at not being able to play. Such spiritand team interest exemplified the role ot the true "stooge" whose motto is "Keep 'em ready for play!"
