Death has spent its bloody sickle.Night has lent its mirky cloak.Now can come the smoke,

the fire, the stars,the moonrise.

A dry rustle . . .Caressing folds . . .A bird, awakened, pipesA shrill, sweetNocturne.

A sentinelwho sleeps the day and guards the

night,takes thought for -neither—yet the light'comes common as shoe leather.

Lo!He watches storm and weather,tide and time;and who says whether,thus sublime,it may go?

One would travel very farTo take the pathway of a star.

Treasurer .. Adelyn Duey

RUTH BEEN

"Thou amplest and art still"

Ruth will tell you without any compunction whatsoever that she islucky—but at what she can't decide. Anyone with her dramatic abilityand those eyes and that hair need not worry.

SIDNEY BLAKELY

A big boy who does big things in a big way.

There are so many things about Sid—or should one say "There is somuch of Sid ?" He writes quite a bit—almost too much. He draws in a bigway (they always cover practically the whole piece of paper). And hetalks—incessantly.

VIRGINIA BLAND

She found a way or made one.

This brown-eyed girl has the most astounding ability for creating adisturbance. For instance—the sign on the door of 120, or the time sheand another well-known junior collegiate sat on the curb, or on February29, or—and so far, far into the night.

CARROLL BOWMAN

"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agreeswith me."

Carroll hails from the little town in Arkansas called Newport. It mustbe a great little town from what he has told us about it. Even in all histravels Carroll thinks there is no place like Newport.

HOLLY CONKLIN

A cool and calm, collected girl,Her mind is never 'in a whirl.

"Oh, what a pal I've found in Ruth." Holly and Ruth are always to-gether—even so much that now they are spoken of as one. Holly behaveslike a college student, while the rest of us behave like kindergarten pupils.

WILHELMINA CONNER

A. merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.

Whenever we think of Wilhelmina we think of her goldfish—the oneshe named Archibald because of a bald spot on his back fin, and the onenamed Francille because of her delicacy and her long, flowing tail. Wilhel-mina has that valuable talent of being able to make one laugh.

ADELYN DUEY

Ask Sid if Adelyn has pep-per!

Poor Adelyn, she has big black eyes, beautiful black curly hair, is awhiz at math, and a little wild (this last semester) Doesn't a girl likethat need one's sympathy ?

NELL FARRIS

Give little Nell a break.

Once upon a time Nell had a bridge party. "Crash ! !" — from the nextroom. "Kitty ! Kitty ! What do you mean ! !" But instead of the kitty 'twasa real live burglar ! ! Now this isn't the only break in Nell's life. In fact,they have become everyday occurances.

GLADYS FARMER

"Happy am I, from care I'm freeWhy aren't they all like Trie?"

She can write her name in four different languages all her own—Adysgla Armerfa, Gliesadys Fiesarmer, Fladys Garmer, and SydalgRemraf — figure them out for yourself. Her favorite outdoor sport isplaying pop-the-whip. She fell for it right from the start.

JOHN FINNEY

"Walking My Baby back home."

Better known by the name of Fohn Jinney. This black-haired boy hasan unsuppressed passion for walking — ask Sarah. This same lad makesa daily canvass, finding out if the sophomores have studied their English.

QUINCE GALLOWAY

A bit of charcoal or a bit of pamtMake a piece of paper what it ain't

Quince does have such a way with pencils, brushes, and ladies; butsad to state, it seems there's only one lady who has a way with him — oris that right, Quince ?

BERNICE GARRISON

Going around without a frown,Always saying, "Well, blow me down!"

When Bernice spends an evening playing hearts, she always is luckyin holding a certain card — the queen of spades. Every time any one men-tions her Christmas present she turns a deep pink- — I wonder why?

MABEL HEDGES

A conscientious worker, but in for a good time.

Mabel is always having something or other to do with some kind ofparty — just any old kind — it doesn't make any difference to her. But we'vegot to hand it to her — she doesn't mind working at them.

SARAH JOHNSON

It's the little things that make life sweet —especially if they get around pen and paper.

Sarah is the little lass responsible for that great literary piece — theHall of Blame. She writes other bits of whatnot, but we'll not suggestthem here. Her favorite sport is riding — tree riding.

LA VONNE KYLE

Terrible spendthrift — of her tongue.

LaVonne is going to be a school teacher next year — yes, sir. Everytime we see LaVonne she is on her way to see a school board — not abouta dog — about a position. Here's luck to her.

DOROTHY MARTIN

Sometimes serious, sometimes comical, but always right.

Dorothy represents the brain of junior college. When anyone is doubt-ful about his lesson, he runs to Dorothy for aid — and she has saved many astude from flunking. Why, Lucille was lost in cooking class when Dorothywas out — she had to do all the, scrubbing and dish washing.

VIRGINIA McCULLOCH

"My toast to the girl with a heart and a smileWho makes this bubble of life worthwhile."

It isn't fair for one person to be so pretty, so smart, and so sweetrolled into one. But Virginia is all that, without exaggeration.

ALDO MOLINARI

Unconscious goodness is he crown of human excellence.

All our athletes should be gentlemen, like Aldo. He incorporates allthe virtues of a gentleman and a real man. Why don't: the rest of our boystake lessons from him ?

GLADYS MOORE

She has ability, brains, and most everything else, but shelacked two hours credit.

'Twill be a marvel to us if Gladys's fair brow is not wrinkled andlined by this time. She has been worried practically the whole year, for fearshe'd lack two hours of having enough to graduate. And those worrisometennis matches—

VINCENT NARISI

A good heart is worth gold.

Big Narisi just loves green, especially for bathing suits. We are surethat a green football sweater would have been more becoming—but this isnot a green college—oh yeah ?

CAROLYN PATTON

"/ count no time lost that I give to pleasure."

If all the girls at Alma are like Carolyn, we wish more would come toJaycee. She's mighty pleasant company, and not at all hard to look at.

JOHN H. PAYNE

A conscientious and willing worker — ask Margaret.

There should be a law to keep him out of a math class with us poorordinary students. But we surely like John — and so does Margaret.

JEAN PRESSON

A pleasing personality is a perpetual letter of introduction.

Jean has the kind of beauty that isn't skin deep. It's inside, and shinesthrough two clear blue eyes like welcome sunshine on a winter's day.

HARRY ROBINSON

"Shut Up!"

Now that Harry is graduated, what will the school do for a presidenteach year? Every year he has been president of his class, so it's nearly anold Spanish custom.

ROBERTA SALZMAN

Strollin' along the way of life.Without a care or any strife.

If we were all as good natured as Roberta, could play tennis as well,do accounting, and—well, just be as good as Roberta, then St. Peter couldthrow away the keys and let us all in.

Always smiling, never cryingAlways trying, never sighing.

Too bad all that wealth of golden hair can't be used to raise the goldstandard or something—but then it does make the other girls cast en-vious glances.

BETTY SPEER

// being happy were a crime, she would get a life sentence.

Huh! oh—pardon! Betty wasn't listening. But then it doesn't mat-ter, because she isn't interested in the "old gal" to whom Shelley wrotehis silly old poems.

CLAUDE WILSON

"Ah, beggar that I am! I am even poor in Calcu'us."

All that grit and determination on Claude's face during' football sea-son—alas! is lacking- in history and English. One can't tackle Mr. Cox andMiss Krehbiel as one tackles the opposing halfback.

KING YARBROUGH

The King after Marjorie's heart.

Miss Krehbiel always knew that King wasn't absent—just tardy— be-cause Marjorie didn't get to the trysting place on time. But now—poorKing is too far away to be even tardy.

JACK BILLINGSLEY

Better be happy than wise.

Jack is one of the most ardent followers of Old Man Morpheus, thewell-loved God of Sleep. But don't get him wrong, for he certainly can beactive and talkative—especially in education.

ATHLETICS

COACH F. M. KEITH

Coach "Dick" Keith deserves all the creditfor the success of the football team this year.Though handicapped by his small squad of inexpe-rienced players, he made a team that won the Ark-ansas Junior College Championship.

Mr. Keith went to school at Texas Tech.,where he played tackle and was rated as one ofthe best players in the state.

He set an example on the playing field, notonly by his brilliant work, but also by his cleancharacter. He has gained the respect and admira-tion not only of the squad but also of other teamsand coaches by his sportsmanship. The axiom thathe uses in describing the team can be truthfullyused as a boomerang for himself—"He did thework to his own satisfaction."

FOOTBALL

GALLOWAY

As the season progressed, a few men were out-standing for their all-round playing ability, andwere hailed as Fort Smith's most able gridmen.Standing out among these was Quince Galloway,Lions' center and captain. Quince came from VanBuren, where he played high-school football. Themost admirable of all Galloway's attributes werehis courage, his spirit, and his sportsmanship. Heset an example that his opponents fear and re-spect. He was ever undaunted and always reliable.At no time did he flinch, and at all times he per-formed his duties gallantly, effectively, and com-mendably.

MOLINARI GALLOWAY WILSON

Confronted with the task of building a football team of light and inex-perienced men, Coach Dick Keith worked valiantly for a winning com-bination. With only Wilson, Molinari, Galloway, Narisi, and Robinson leftfrom last year's squad, Coach Keith was forced to rely on the freshmanclass for his squad. The team made a slow start and gradually gainedmomentum,. The boys played clean, hard football, and although th^ydropped more games than they won, the victorious games were the onesthat enabled them to be Arkansas Junior College Champions.

The Lions opened their season with a journey to Miami for a nightgame. There they met a heavier and more experienced team. The Lionsplayed hard football and showed an excellent defense, but were completelybaffled by a passing attack and came out on the short end of a 26-0 score.

Their next opponents were the strong Subiaco Academy eleven. Bothteams were hampered somewhat by the extreme heat and the dust on thefield. They battled on even terms until Lucken, Subiaco's star half-back,broke loose for the only score of the day. The Lions again showed a greatdefense in this game, but lacked an offense.

After a week of hard drill, the Keith forces tracked to Wilburton,where they met the strong Eastern Oklahoma College aggregation. Thiswas the strongest team the Lions met this year, and probably the heaviest.E. 0. C. started a team that averaged well over 200 pounds. Spotting thisteam, 50 pounds to the man, the Lions outcharged, outfought, and held

them scoreless for three-and-a-half quarters. The weight and frequentsubstitutions on the part of the E. 0. C. team finally wore down the Lions'defense and enabled them to score three touchdowns in the last part ofthe fourth quarter. The score was 19-6. The Lions' lone tally came in thethird quarter, when Rex Fine intercepted an enemy pass and ran 95 yardsfor a touchdown.

ElDorado was the next on the menu for the Lions. This was theLions home debut and they made an impressive performance by winninga 20-6 victory.

In less than a week the Lions went to Morrilton to meet the HardingCollege Bisons. This was a hard game played in a high wind and the Bisonswon 12-6.

Monett handed the Lions a beating on their own field. The team playedwell and was ahead at the half, but injuries aided the visitors. The scorewas 19-7.

The next and last game was with Little Rock Junior College. Thisgame created unusual interest, because the championship was at stake. Thetwo elevens were evenly matched the greater part of the game, althoughthe mud bothered both. In the last quarter the Lions opened a drive fromtheir 20 yard line for a touchdown. Cut Alford was the big gun in thiseighty yard advance for a touchdown and the Arkansas Junior CollegeChampionship.

NARISI HOGAN COX FINE

COACH JOHN R. THOMPSON

The success of our team is due largely to thepatience, faith, and knowledge of Coach "LongJohn" Thompson. His ability as a coach is shownby the team he made from a squad handicappedby lack of experience, height, and numbers. Hecame from Hendrix, where he was their most out-standing athlete, lettering in track, basketball,and football. He held seven track records at onetime and is still in possession of the high jumpingrecord. He has worked just as hard in developingthis team as he did when participating in athleticshimself. He not only knew what to do, but coulddo it himself. We thank Mr. Thompson and sin-cerely hope that he will never leave us.

Early in the spring of '32, the tennis players again got togetherand organized a team with Billy Eshelman as captain. The rest of thesquad was made up of Quince Galloway, Bruce Keller, Bronte Medlin,Harry Robinson. Bill Mapes, Neal McCord, Hickman Weakley, and JohnHouston Payne.

Matches with Harding College, the College of the Ozarks, Arkan-sas Tech, Subiaco, and Little Rock Junior College were arranged forearly in the season.

The Girls' Tennis Team was chosen from the membership of the tennisclub, a new organization in the college, this year. Under the guidance ofGladys Moore, fifteen members signed up for the tournament that openedMarch 1. Preliminary matches were completed by March 15, and the teamwas chosen from those who made the quarter-finals, plus one other mem-ber of the club.

Unusual interest has been manifested in the team, and it is felt thateach year1 will evoke greater interest and develop athletics for the girls inthe college. It is the purpose of the tennis club to select and promote itsteam each year, selected by means of the tournament, and to enter thewinners of the semi-finals in the tournament of other junior colleges.These inter-collegiate matches will foster a more lasting interest in girls'tennis.

Miss Warmack, head of the women's physical education department,has contributed greatly to the enthusiasm for a team by her helpful coach-ing and cooperation.

The five girls selected for the team are: Gladys Moore, Roberta Salz-man, Mike May, Wilhelmina Conner, and Bernice Vaughn.

The various organizations in the college have stimulated interest andpromoted school spirit as no curricular activity could do. Within the num-ber to be found, is at least one which will appeal to each and every student.Organizations of scholastic and honorary types are represented in the hon-orary fraternity of Theta Phi Kappa, which provides an incentive to highscholastic achievements.

For those interested primarily in the affairs of the times—politics andcontemporary history—the college offers the forum. Membership is notrestricted; the club is open to all who wish to join. This organization hasproved to be quite popular and has presented many interesting discussionsof news and views.

In the social field of activity, the girls are attracted to a local organiza-tion, Zeta Phi Beta. Membership is restricted to election by members.The club has been active in promoting social functions in the school, and isa great factor in encouraging fellowship.

To the staff of the Numa and of the Lion's Din we are indebted as tono other part of the student body. The Numa staff has endeavored to makethis yearbook an organized history of this school year 1932-1932. The bi-weekly newspaper, The Lion's Din, is published by college students, withthe help of the student print shop.

The dramatic club is composed of members of the dramatic arts classwhich has devoted its time to the study of plays, to giving plays, to modernplaywrights, and to organizations in the world of drama and the theatre.

The student council has represented the student body in all affairsconcerning the students and the faculty. It is composed of the officers ofthe two classes.

The officers of these organizations are ever conscious of their duties;they make sincere efforts to cause members to attend meetings, and tryto conduct them in a manner fitting to the college. From football games toformal banquets, the members of these organizations are the backbone ofthe school. They support every collegiate activity, and are such a vitalfactor that we should be lost without them.

HARRY ROBINSON JR.PRESIDENT OF STUDENT BODY

At the beginning of the first semester, weadopted as our objective the idea of making thisyear one of the best in the history of the school,to establish a feeling of unity among the students.

We have worked under a great handicap dueto the fact that we have housed with the studentsof the Senior High School. In spite of this disad-vantage, it is my opinion, that the junior collegehas worked on to the best of its ability.

We are facing the close of the last semester,not with a feeling of discouragement and disap-pointment in our years' work, but with a gladnessin our hearts that we have attended Junior College.There is a feeling of real friendship between usand a spirit of cooperation has been establishedeverywhere.

I believe if I were asked to describe the year'saccomplishments in a few words, I would call itestablishment of school spirit and loyalty.

A new idea in history reference work was carried out this year whena history forum was organized in the Fort Smith Junior College.

This organization is made up of both freshman and sophomore and his-tory classes, and is conducted entirely by the students. R. A. Cox, professorof history and originator of the society, is sponsor. Membership in theorganization is entirely voluntary.

The purpose of the forum is to develop interest among the studentsfor currents events, and to discuss the affairs of the day. This society also .helps train students in speaking before an audience.

As a special program for one meeting, a talk on the American Legionwas given by Henry Armstrong, of Fort Smith. Another extra programwas held when the forum conducted a miniature of its regular programsat a meeting of the Parent-Teacher's Association.
