College is Served

by Three Deans

Mr. Thomas E. Fullerton has been every-thing to Fort Smith Junior College: teacher,counselor, dean, public relations expert-butthis year he has been given the official title ofDean of the College.

This doesn't mean that he'll have fewerduties, but that he'll have more. Sometimethis spring Dean Fullerton will meet and talkto every high school student body in the FortSmith area, complete a new catalogue, scheduleclasses for day and night school, superviseregistration-What we're trying to say is thatF. S. J. C. is a better place because of him.

T. E. FULLERTON, B.A., M.A.Dean of the College

Dean of Women has the sound of dignity. This istrue of Lucille Speakman, Dean, of Women, Fort SmithJunior College.

In the past, as a teacher, and now as dean and teach-er, she is an example for both men and women.

Aside from her duties as an administrator, DeanSpeakman carries a heavy teaching load, meeting classesin Western Civilization and Sociology each day. Itisn't unusual to see a line of students outside her officedoor waiting to give oral book reports.

SHELBY BREEDLOVEB.S.E., M.S.E.Dean of Men

Have you ever seen Coach Breedlove angry? Withhis team two points behind and ten seconds left on theclock, our Dean of Men exhibits the same self-controlhe has toward all situations.

In the Dean's office or on the basketball court heis the dynamic image of a young man completely incontrol of himself and his environment.

Coach Breedlove also teaches. He instructs classesin Health and Safety and Sports Fundamentals and ispresently involved with the problem of erecting a newfieldhouse.

History of FSJC

Fort Smith Junior College was or-ganized in 1928 under the supervision ofthe Board of Education of the Fort SmithSchool System. Housed originally in theStadium of Fort Smith High School, thecollege slowly continued its growth. In1952, the college moved to its presentlocation with eight faculty members. To-day, the college has 29 faculty members,offers courses in 24 different fields, andhas a student enrollment of over 1500.

The Administration building is one of the original buildings on thissite.14

Page 19: NUMA 1964

Seen at night, Old Main's lights serenely reflect the idea of study.

Before 1952, Old Mainwas a part of the Sebas-tian County Home forthe Poor.

15

Page 20: NUMA 1964

Remaining one of the most popular buildingson the campus, the Student Center still providesa haven of rest for the biggest student body inthe history of the school.

Operating on almost an "around-the-clock" basis,the Student Center's facilities are used by bothday and night school students whose enrollmentfigures are near equal.

Looking East fromthe Administra-tion building, twoof the neweradditions tothe FSJC plantinclude theFine Artsand Librarybuildings.

Traditions: New Progress

Few people realize the amount of students that attend classes afterdark. The FSJC night school program is designed to provide theopportunity for those who work during the day to gain collegecredits.

Reflects "People"

Hoping to glean further information than that whichusual classroom discussion provides, Gary Boyd andinstructor Robert Amos demonstrate the closer student-instructor relationship that exists at FSJC.

A new addition to the faculty, Logan Green notonly directs the FSJC Choir but also gives indivi-dual voice instructions.

Each year, the classes of FSJC get bigger and bigger, butdetermined instructors still take time to give individualattention to their students.

Sooner or later, almost every faculty member stops by Room F-104 to chat with James "Pete" Howard, art instructor (left)This time it happened to be Robert Runner, social science instructor, and H. C. Carolan, speech instructor.

Looking every bit as unfriendly as he isn't, Dean T. E.Fullerton always takes time out to visit the various de-partments of the College.

A typical FSJC instructor, Robert Runner is alwaysready to help students learn more about his chosenfield.

sary in order for one to understand and ap-

preciate his rich cultural heritage and to

communicate his ideas to other people.

For the more advanced students there

are courses such as Masterpieces of the

Middle Ages and the Renaissance, taught

by Dr. S. H. Blakely.

An opportunity to develop skills in

writing and editing is given to students who

choose to work on the student publications.

The arts are man's only valid means ofself expression. Throughout history, fromthe cave to the skyscraper, he has, in someway or another, incorporated his art withhis living.

Art is personal, and the creative urgemust have complete freedom. There is thisatmosphere at Fort Smith Junior Collegeand it is the purpose of the Fine Arts De-partment Faculty to perpetuate it.

Music, Speech, and Art were depart-mentalized this year and all activities inthese various fields are being coordinated.

Louise Searls and Loretta Worner try their hand atink and charcoal sketching, one of the mixed-mediataught in Drawing and Painting.28

lic School Music, plans, with Mr. Carolan,

to present a joint production in music and

drama sometime in the future.Drawing and Painting, Art History,

the formation of a Mixed Octet from the mem-

bers of the choir, were two of the steps necessary

for the preparation of Choir programs.

Early in October the Choir appeared on lo-

cal T.V. and later they made a short tour to Col-

lege of the Ozarks. Several outstanding programs

were presented locally. Green proved an out-

standing group could be achieved during his first

year at FSJC.

Library Staff Provides Able Assistan

A vital facility of any academic in-

stitution is the Library. F.SJ.C. is fortunate

to have Miss Dorothy Beck serving as

librarian. Necessary to provide efficient

service is the staff which aids Miss Beck.

These girls spend many hours cataloguing,

classifying, and shelving the books which

are constantly being added to the collection.

The Library now houses approximately

9000 volumes and a generous budget is

provided for ordering new selections. During

the '63-'64 academic year, an emphasis was

placed on the acquisition of valuable peri-

odicals. MISS DOROTHY GRACE BECKLibrarian

COACH SHELBY BREEDLOVEDirector of Athletics

Basketball is the major sport at F.S.J.C. and it isonly logical that there is some emphasis placed on it,but the philosophy of our Athletic department is onewhich stresses fun and sportsmanship rather than win-ning and publicity.

The Numa staff feels that this is a healthy attitudeand credit should be given to Coach Breedlove for initi-ating and furthering it.

Fort Smith's J.C. Lions, under thetutelage of Coach Shelby Breedlove,must assume as scholarly an attitude inthe class room as they do a ferociousone in their cage contests.

Breedlove stated early in the sea-son, that due to a strenuous trainingprogram, this is the best conditionedteam he's ever coached.

"We may not win many games" hestated, "but we'll give 'em a tussle."

The Lions haven't let him down.They chalked up an 83-61 score againstrecent J.C. grads in the Alumni contest,and took Oklahoma State Tech's Tech-nicians by ten points in the first con-ference tilt.

Conditioning pays off with Lions

Mike Stubblefield "hawks" the ball as the Lions prove too much for their old teammates in the Alumni game.

The Bi-State Junior College Ath-letic Conference is made up of fourteams: Oklahoma State Tech Techni-cians, St. Gregory Junior College Cava-liers, Bacone College Warriors, andFort Smith Junior College Lions.

Two other Junior Colleges havebeen invited to join the conference:Southern Baptist Junior College of Wal-nut Ridge, and Beebe Junior College-abranch of Arkansas State.

Each member school must competein three sports. Basketball, baseball,and either golf, tennis, or track are man-datory sports.

This tendency toward expansionis very much a part of F.S.J.C.'s future,for a new field house will be erectedsome time in the next year.

It is said of junior colleges thatthey have the lowest school spirit ratingof any of the institutions of higher learn-ing.

Reasons be what they are F.S.J.C.suffers this malady. It is understood thata cure can not be bought or forced on thestudent body, but the fact that our schoolhas had two Ail-Americans in two years,and placed fourth in the nation twoyears ago, should be reason enough forpride and spirit.

There is one solution to the prob-lem which hasn't been mentioned—thatis to change our major sport. Change itfrom basketball to bridge, then schoolspirit would soar!

importance of spirit

Coach Shelby Breedlove has a reputation for being "cool and calm" in all situations. His ex-ample, and the fact that he inspires the team through reason, always keeps the Lions in conten-tion.

first All-American from JC, the Wheeler Ave-

at any other time in its history.

cries of "There's Squeaky" and "Hey, isn't that

Preach?" as the crowd spotted former players,

some just a little heavier with hair going or

This year's team, according to Coach

Shelby Breedlove, should be highlighted by

a strong mound staff. The club will be de-

fensive minded since hitting strength is un-

known. FSJC is gradually building up its base-

ball team, and 1964 should produce the strong-

est nine in the school's history.

Four lettermen return from last year.

They are Jim Holland, outfield; Phillip

Young, shortstop; David Finch, outfielder; and

Billy Mills, catcher.

Jimmy Holland seems to be swinging at a low pitch, that is if the catcher's mitt is any indication. The Lions won this gamewith Poteau with Phillip Young driving a ball into the center field stands with two on in the ninth inning.

Sophomores Lead

Student Body

The Associate of Arts degree is the

goal of most FSJC students. From the

first day of school in the fall, sophomores

are looking forward to the day in the

spring when they will don cap and gown

and become alumnae of Fort Smith Junior

College. For some it is the end of their

education, which makes the presence of a

community junior college doubly impor-

tant. For others, the AA degree is a stair-

step to a bachelor's, master's and perhaps

even a Ph.D.

This year's sophomore class, led by

President Donna Davis, has maintained

these high educational and social standards.

Unofficial pep assembly head cheerleader Paul Williams leads front row of sophomores in several rounds of yea blue- veawhite.

Seen walking to class are Marsha Earp, Carla Manueland Lauralee Darr.

The growth of Fort Smith Junior Collegeis a matter of record; most of the growth hascome about since 1952 when the college movedto its present location. The tremendous expan-sion of the Technical Division simply pointsup the increase in facilities and services of ourCommunity College in recent years.

Today when industry is seeking to relo-cate or expand it looks for the area of trainedlabor or where such training will be availablefor everyone.

The day is past when industry looks onlyfor a surplus of manpower. In modern businessand industry there is little room for the uned-ucated and unskilled.

Homecoming

Homecoming activities at FSJC began at10:30 Friday morning, February 21, 1964 witha pep rally in the auditorium. Cheerleaders,basketball players and homecoming queen can-didates were accorded special honors at thistime. A comedy routine featuring members ofthe team and other organizations hi-lighted thismeeting.

The Parade began at 3:00 p.m. and pro-ceeded down Grand Avenue to Garrison. Thenat 7:30 Friday evening Miss Twania Pound wascrowned Queen at the Wheeler Avenue BoysClub.

The day was perfect except for the fact thatthe Lions lost the game.

Miniature floats depicting a Lion victory provided a novel boost tothe spirit of Homecoming. The Sophomore's rain dance was unsuc-cessful.

Bacone was represented in the Pep assembly by these FSJC students, as a team with unusual possibilities for an easy victoryhowever when the basket was raised for the game, the predictions crumbled.

NUMA Staffers

Planned Bigger,

Better Yearbook

The 1964 NUMA Staff began your year-book last September with the purpose ofmaking it bigger and better than its ever been.To some extent we have succeeded; in otherways we have failed.

It is said that a yearbook reflects almostevery phase of the school's activities; that itis a mirror into which we look and see our-selves at a particular time and place. If this isso the defects you see in yourself will be re-flected in your annual.

We, on the NUMA Staff, feel that thishas been a very fine and productive schoolterm, and that the student body of FSJC is oneof the best in years. We would like to takethis opportunity to thank the students, faculty,and administration for their cooperation inproducing the 1964 NUMA.

Barbara Mclnnis, Twani'a Pound and Susan La Fontaine"hammer" out some pages in a never ending effort tomeet deadlines.
