Snow and sun can make no matter;flowers wither, scarlets tatter.But every moment, every year,

finds an open corner here.

The sonl of a hub is rarely seen.But fire is there, the wood is green,and no need of a silken sheen.

And life and death are planted there-a shrub, a tree, the bursting air,and evening's wearied shadows onthe lawn.

Back of every successful enterprise, whetherit be business or educational, there is always anindividual, or group of individuals, responsible forits success. The men who compose the FortSmith Board of Education, Messrs. G. C. Hardin,Chas. S. Holt, C. N. Geren, J. Rudolph Woods,W. G. Shipley, and John P. Woods, are responsiblefor, and have been active in, the development ofthe-Junior College. They have recognized theneed for such an institution in our city and haveco-operated with every activity of the college ina most hearty and enthusiastic manner.

The staff of the Numa feels that Fort Smithis fortunate to have such high type of citizens onits Board of Education, and at this time wishes toassure them that the students appreciate the in-terest they have shown in the college.

Mrs. John W. Bell, Miss Ruth Ann Lester, and MissLouise Sarasin are the "slaves" of the office force. Theyaren't really slaves in the true sense of the word, becausethey enjoy their positions, but they do work hard for allthe high school as well as the Junior College. They havealways been willing and ready to help Junior College stu-dents in any way they could, and have aided them greatlyin many ways. Because they are all so young and good-looking, and are so nice to them, the entire Junior Collegeloves "our office force".

GlLMER DlXON BILL ADAIR

The Fort Smith Junior College Student Body was ablyorganized under the leadership of two presidents thisyear. Gilmer Dixon, who held office the first semester,and William C. Adair, who was leader for the secondsemester. To hold up the ideals of the school, to encour-age scholarship, and to promote good fellowship and co-operation, is indeed a task, but our presidents have workedfaithfully and loyally to the best interests of every JuniorCollege student.

JOHN WILSON

BEN H. LOBDILL"Much has been written about the power of s->ng—but what aboutthe singer?"

We don't get to see as much of Ben as we'd really like to, 'cause he'sreal 'smarty' and teaches music. But we love to hear him sing, and some-times he comes back and entertains us. He has quite a reputation too—for being an excellent actor.

FRED WILBURN'7 tell yon what I'd rather do—

Ef I only had my ruthers—I'd rather work when I wanted to,Than be bossed 'round by others."

Freddie is a musician of quite some note, especially in more than onejazz orchestra. Of course, the most noteworthy one is our own J. C. or-chestra! He also played basketball with quite a bit of enthusiasm, thatcertainly did help the team.

DENNIS HARRIS"To say little and accomplish much, show the characteristics of agreat man"

Dennis is our satirist, essayist, critic, humorist, and what-not, allroiled into one. His satire is often quite biting but he excels in so manyliterary lines that we will just overlook it. And I guess we'll have to admithe's pretty smart!

GILMER DIXON"Snatch gaily the joys which the moment shall bring,

And away every care and perplexity f l i n g ! "

Well, he's just Gilmer! and there's only one in captivity. But althoGilmer is lots of fun, he's capable too, as he showed in being president ofJunior College the first semester. He won his title of 'most popular boy'because he is popular—an:1, a darn good sport—and a best friend!

NANNIE RUTH HUNT"Let's be gay, while we may,And seize love with laughter.I'll be true as long as you,And not a moment after."

As editor-in-chief of the Numa (don't you think it's good?), NannieRuth has shown much ability, and deserves lots of credit. She's the mostpopular girl in J. C., and she has a grand voice, and—well, we haven't roomfor all the personality adjectives wre'd like to use—but we admire her, lots.

EVELYN PENINGER"She's so charming, sweet, and small,

It's alarming how we fall."

When Evelyn graduates from J. C., the college will miss her sweetsmile and ready co-operation that's combined to make her the sweetest girlto all the students. She is a remarkable student, which endears her to allher teachers. She is always ready to enter into all activities, which makesany event incomplete without her. In short, Evelyn helps things by just"being there."

SOPHOMORES

ELIZABETH REYNOLDS"Cheerful people live longer on earth, and live longer in ourmemories."

Liz just came to school the first semester, but she left her memoryin all of our hearts. She always had a smile for everyone, and was so in-terested and friendly, that we all loved her—and we wish she would comehack.

WILLIAM CURTIS ADAIR"A mind to conceive, a heart to resolve, and a hand to execute."

What more could be said about Bill, than that he truly deserves hispopularity and his title of best-all-'round boy! Bill is one of those delight-ful persons who is a friend to everybody—and everybody is his friend. Aspresident of the student body he has proved his capability and has shownthat he will go far on the read to success.

CARRIE HARRISON"A lovely lady, garmented in light,From her own beauty "

As most beautiful girl in Junior College, Carrie lives up to her name—for she is beautiful, and reminds one that 'beauty is as beauty does/ Shemakes friends easily and people like Carrie because she's sweet tothem. And we certainly do like to hear her tell about the picture showsshe has seen!

SOPHOMORES

LASSIE YOUMANS"There flashed into one's mind, old- fashioned flowers — bine

forget-me-not,^, « .sprat/ of trhite (tli/sttimu."

Lassie is so sweet, and nice, and pretty, that you just want to put herin a picture frame to remind you of all sorts of lovely things. But we'remighty glad she's not in a picture frame, 'cause then she wouldn't be herefor us to enjoy.

What would we do without Lawsy and his "schoolgirl giggle"? Itmakes you want to laugh right out loud just to hear him. He helped outthe basketball team considerably this year. There's no party, tho, that'squite complete without Lawsy and we're glad he likes pleasure.

HAZEL PRESSON"Conipi-l nit not t(t toe the murk.Be ever prim and true,But rather Iff me do those things,That I ought not n> do"

A charming and winsome personality is a good description of Hazel.Hut along with this she has persistence — for she has put the "Lions' Din"over with a bang! And she's got lots of brains, and enthusiasm, and every-thing that should go to make up the 'best-all-round' girl.

LA FERN JONES"One of the little tilings in life"

But it's the little things that count lots of times, isn't it? La Fernhas plenty of vitality for so small a person and she's very Interested inathletics. There wouldn't have been much of a girl's basketball team thisyear if it hadn't been for 'little LaFern' and her powerful playing.

LESTER DOBYNS"The man that blushes is not quite a brute."

This is a compliment—really—'cause not very many people can blushnow! Lester is our fair-haired concert pianist and we know that somedaywe'll be mighty proud to say, "We knew him when—." He can say 'kinda'funny thngs, too—'funny ha-ha', not 'funny peculiar'.

GLADYS STONE"What? Fair, and young, and faithful, too?"A miracle if this be true."

Gladys' sunny disposition won for her many friends, when she washere the first semester. She's left us now, but we think she's still keepingup with her studies. Especially those in "Home-Making".

HAROLD CHAFFIN"Blessings on thee, little man,

Barefoot boy with cheeks of tan."

Somehow Harold seems so healthy and athletic that the little coupletseems to fit him exactly. He was a mainstay on the basketball team and itwould have had a mighty hard time scoring all it did if Harold hadn't beenon the team.

MARY FRANCES BUZBEE"A light laugh twitters through the room—it's Mary Frances."

Mary Frances likes to help people—and we're glad she does, 'causewhen we don't have our French or something, we just sorta' ease over toher—and she really helps a fellow out. She'll make a fine teacher someof these days—so here's our best wishes!

EUGENE STEVENSON"He who loves not wine, women, or souy.Remains a fool his ivhole life long."

This seems to be Mac's philosophy of life—and more power to him! Hecertainly gets a lot of enjoyment out of life, anyway. Mac is very generousto his friends, which is a mighty good asset. And you won't find anyoneslipping up on him, 'cause he most always 'totes' a gun!

MEMBERS OF THE FOOTBALL SQUADALDO MOLINARI—A mighty little atom. "Aldy" was a good aU'round

player, but an exceptional broken-field runner.LAWS GALLOWAY—Laws turned in a good performance at guard.GILMER DIXON—"Gilmo" was a hard runner and a hard tackier. He

played in the backfield.HARRY ROBINSON—Harry was a very good end. He was called back

to the backfield many times to kick.BILL ADAIR—"Airdale" was an outstanding linesman. He was in more

plays than any other member of the team.FRED WILBURN—Freddie was a fast, little man who played at guard.CLAUDE WILSON—Right end- -and a good one, too. Claude was a fast

man with spirit to match his speed.FARREL THOMAS—Another dependable back. Farrel ran hard and

could always be depended upon for a gain.KARL PETERS—A shifty and hard-hitting back. Karl was our surest

ground gainer.QUINCE GALLOWAY—"Doc" played guard, and there were very few

plays that he did not get into.QUINTON HARBACK—"Quinnie did a good job at tackle. He was hard to

keep out of a play, and was the cause of many of our opponents* losses.DALE STANFORD—Dale was a good man at fullback. He plunged hard,

and was a great line-backer.HAL McKNIGHT—"Mac" did brilliant work at end. He was a good de-

fensive player, and conld he snare passes?VINCENT NARISI—"Narcissus" was a bulwark in our line. Many op-

posing tackles were fooled by his ready grin.MAXIE SCOTT—This big boy carne from Van Buren to show how tackle

should be played.LEON CASTLING—A great fighter. He gave good account of himself at

guard.LAVON WALLET—"Lanky" played a gjeat game at center. He special-

ized at roving behind the line and was a great passer.

The Fort Smith Junior College for the last three years has taken anactive part in Junior College Debating. Last year the Arkansas JuniorCollege Forensic League was organized. Fort Smith Junior College had theDistinction of being a charter member.

The Forensic League is composed of the debate teams that representthe Junior Colleges of the state. The Senior Colleges may be members,providing their teams are from the Freshman and Sophomore classes.

This year our team was composed of Harold Mott and Gilmer Dixon,affirmative; and John Houston Payne and Franklin Wilder, negative. Thiswas the second season for the two members of the affirmative, but theother two were new at the game.

The members of the Forensic League met at Little Rock, Arkansas, onApril 24, 1931. Places wrere drawn after all the contestants had assembledat the meet.

. J O H N HOUSTON PAYNE FRANKLIN WILDER

The subject for debate was: "Resolved, that chain stores are detri-mental to the best interests of the American people."

Fort Smith Junior College affirmative team won a 3-0 decision fromRussellville Tech. Our negative team, however, was defeated by Eldorado.Eldorado, by virtue of winning the meet, was called champions of theArkansas Junior College Forensic League for 1931.

At the business meeting, which was held on that occasion, anothertournament was planned for 1932, and Harding College was taken into theAssociation.

The following colleges are ncwr members of the League:

troubles was told by a specialist that hewas drinking too much and would have toknock it off.

"Well," said the patient, "what am I totell my wife?'

The patient did as he was told. "What issyncopation?" asked the wife.

"I dont know," said the husband, "butthat is what he said."
