A DEDICATION TO

MISS LUELLA KREHBIEL

AS A TRIBUTE of esteem and affection, we, thestaff of the nineteen hundred forty-one Numa,dedicate this book to Miss Luella Krehbiel. Thisgracious lady meets every problem brought to herwith unfailing- patience and understanding.

Every student having contact with her cannever forget her kindness and consideration ofothers. She will long remain in our memories as aperson who ever strived to make our school a betterone in which to study and live.

For one whose guidance will ever serve as aninspiration to those in JC, we hope that this dedi-cation will serve as a lasting expression of thegreat admiration and respect which we have for her.

Located at the "Gateway to the Ozarks," the beautiful mountains

form a picturesque setting for the Fort Smith Junior College. It is

easily available to the students of Fort Smith, Van Buren, and other

cities in Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. In addition to the

ninety thousand dollar stadium-building which consists of classrooms,

the college office, a recreation room, and lockers, the students have

access to a well equipped auditorium and school cafeteria. This year anew, modern arts and crafts building was opened to students interested

in this type of work. While some classes are held in the senior high

school building, the location of the rooms make possible an easy separ-

ation of college activities from those of the high school.

It is only through the able direction of the members of our

faculty that our play has run a successful course. They have had

patience while teaching us our lines; they have had individual interest

in each character; and they have had confidence in the success of our

production, all of which have been valuable aids to each member of the

cast as he rehearsed his lines. And so to our administrative officers,

faculty, and trustees, the entire cast offers its deepest appreciation as

the curtain rises for the opening night.

Page 22: NUMA 1941

J. W. RAMSEY

President

/ l S THE main director, it is to Mr. Ramsey

that the cast owes its deepest appreciation

and respect. Although we did not come in

contact with him at each rehearsal, his in-

fluence was keenly felt. By his conscientious

attitude, deep foresight, sincerity, and un-

tiring effort to produce a successful produc-

tion, Mr. Ramsey has assured us of a smooth

performance on our opening night.

Page 23: NUMA 1941

J. C. GIBSON ...

Business Manager

MR. GIBSON, as our business manager,

has played a vital part in the production of

our play, for it is through his excellent judg-

ment and knowledge of financial affairs that

our play has been a financial success. The

entire cast wishes to express deep gratitude

to their business manager for the efficient

service and executive ability he has display-

ed in handling the box-office receipts.

Page 24: NUMA 1941

ELMER COOKDean

TO US, who have been under Mr. Cook's

guidance, we feel that we are indeed fortu-

nate. His patience while we have learned our

lines and rehearsed our parts has been out-

standing. His understanding of our problems

and his willingness to be of service that we

might have a successful production have

been supreme. By his excellent training in

direction, he has kept high the ideals and

purpose of our drama and to him the entire

cast expresses its appreciation.

Page 25: NUMA 1941

J. W. REYNOLDS

Assistant Dean

THE GREATEST of all playrights could not

express in mere words the deep devotion of

each member of the play cast for Director

Reynolds. On hand at each rehearsal, he was

always eager to discuss with cast members

their personal problems. His sincerity and

sympathy have won the confidence of each

player, whose character he has helped to

mold. Soon the final curtain of our play will

have lowered and rehearsals will be but a

memory. The leadership and influence of "The

Dean" is an experience never to be forgotten.

A large part of the success of any production depends upon theplayers. In Fort Smith Junior College there is a part for every actorand an actor for every part, and so each individual personality adds anew character. As we glance at the program, we find that the membersof the cast are selected from Fort Smith, Van Buren, and other sectionsin Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. As curtain time drawsnear, the characters rejoice in the fact that each rehearsal has broughtto him many memories never to be forgotten—friends always to beremembered.

JIM STACKABLE for thepast two years has had thelead in the JC play as wellas being president of theFreshman Class, the Sopho-more Class, and the IRC, inaddition to being studentmanager of the DebateTeam.

WILLIAM MURPHY with-out question is the mostappreciative of all the JCstudents of literature, music,and the other fine arts. Wil-liam maintained a highgrade average, was thisyear's IRC president, andco-author of our alma mater.

KENNETH WADE had thatall important job of arrang-ing for and producing thesemi-weekly Junior Collegeradio programs, not to men-

tion his role in"Much Ado

BILL G O U L D ' S pictureindicates his work with thespeech department's voicerecording machine. Bill'sgrades were marred by asingle measely "B plus"!Perhaps this could be attri-buted to his extra-curricularwork on JC radio programs.

JIMMY DYER'S activitiesin JC were the Visual Edu-cation Program and arrang-ing for the weekly JC as-semblies. His work morethan speaks for itself, andeither of these importantjobs would have sufficed forJimmy's election.

MARIAN STEPHENS is wellknown for her work on"The Grizzly," to which shewas one of the main con-tributors. Marian not onlydebated and held a highscholastic position, but wasone of the Numa BusinessManagers.

Its activities included an all-JC Kid Party whichwas typical of our entertainment—a big success. As the year wasnearing completion, it gave the well received Freshman-SophomoreBanquet.

Glancing backstage, one finds that the various activities of collegegroups makes our junior college a community within itself. Assembliesare held once each week where students are introduced to various formsof group procedure. Basketball, track, softball, tennis, bowling, ping-pong, and golf are a few of the sports in which junior college studentsparticipate. A college council, composed of student representatives,which sponsor various worthwhile activities, affords valuable trainingin self-government. A school paper, The Grizzly, reflects student lifeand gives excellent training in journalism, while the annual juniorcollege play is one of the outstanding events of the year. Students whoare interested in debate, band, orchestra, glee club, and dramatics repre-sent the school in a number of contests. Each of these helps in forminga well-rounded life for each character in our drama.

Grizzly Staff

All the members of The Grizzly staff have indeed shown themselves to be "go-getters" in the modern newspaper world, that is, the world of news just waiting to behad on the campus of the Junior College. Grizzly reporters are on the spot after everylecture to interview world renowned speakers. JC students get the benefit of cleverfeature stories, editorials, and thumb-nail characterizations. The combination of thecollege and high school papers last year has resulted in improved service to bothinterests.

Debate Team

Last year the Debate Team made a name for itself, even though it was the firstyear of its existence. This year the members have lived up to precedent, not only in thehvOme state, but in a tourney of the Southern states. The team is made up of some ofthe ablest debaters in Fort Smith, students who have had experience in the field ofargument. Mr. Patton, the debate coach, and Dean Reynolds, with the aid of the debateciub, sponsored an invitation tournament for high schools in Arkansas and Oklahoma.The event is to become an annual affair under the sponsorship of the Fort Smith JuniorCollege.

International Relations

The International Relations Club is perhaps the most popular organization on

the campus. It is not difficult to get a full house when world politics are discussed in

such an interesting manner. Fort Smith men who have studied international relations

are guest speakers and discussion leaders. This year the club sent representatives to a

convention at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. No better illustration of democracy and free-

dom at work could be shown than by the excellent activities of this group of students.

Sock and Buskin

"If you have talent, if you are — -." Why, as a matter of fact, all you need

is an interest in the dramatic art, and you may become an active member of the dra-

matic clique. The students of play production keep an eye peeled for all lo'ose talent,

and prospects are dramatically quizzed and asked to become a member. This club

takes charge of all the plays that are presented by the school. Needless to say, they

do a superb job of it. Sock and Buskin may have the Barrymores and Hays of the future.

Science Club

Turning to the side of those deep-minded scholars of JC, we see the members of

the Science Club vigorously debating the possibility and probability of a hypothesis

and its application in a particular case. That's a round-about way of picturing the

interest in science taken by this group. Really, though, we are proud of these students

who take time out to cultivate interests in things some might consider far from the

"beaten path."

Home Economics Club

The Home Economics Club is affiliated with the national organization for homeeconomics clubs. The local group offers the girls of JC the opportunity to gain athorough knowledge in the science of cooking, sewing, home management, budgeting,and the other hundred-and-one things that every future homemaker should know.Besides carrying on the activities suggested by the national group, the members haveput their knowledge to practical use as well. Each month the Home Economics Clubplans the Student Board dinners, and their work in this instance has added greatly to

the enjoyment of Board meetings. It is no wonder that this active group of girls isincreasing its membership by "leaps and bounds."

Future Teachers of America

Last year the Numa wished the Future Teachers of America continued success,and this year we have seen that wish come true. The myth that teachers are foreversitting about with their noses tucked in the ageless voluimes of a philosophical treatisehas been exposed as an exaggerated untruth. The FTA of the Junior College are theleaders of tomorrow, persons well-trained to go out and revolutionize methods in thefield of education. This club sponsored one of the most successful parties 'of the year,the Valentine party. Who said teachers couldn't come down to earth and enjoy life ?

Determined to enter college competition a f t e rseveral years of play confined to independent circles, theLion basketeers, ably coached by Frank Jones, wentthrough a stiff 1941 schedule winning thirteen games tndlosing nine. These games included four college contestsas well as competition in the district and state AAAtournaments.

Coach Jones, in his first season at the helm of theLion cagers, proved to be an able mentor and quickly wonthe respect of his players who responded to his instruc-tions with rapid improvement.

Ten players remained out for practice through theentire season, and everyone of them upheld the truesportsmanship and spirit of the Junior College. The Lionsworked hard and always stayed in the thick of the fightuntil the final gun. They were rewarded with a successfulseason that not only established the Junior College as aformidable team this year, but set a precedent for Lionteams in the future. Hail to Coach Jones and his Lionswho carried high the Blue and White!

Behind the lights, the curtain, and the glitter of the stage, there

is a powerful force forever seeming to say, "The play must go on.'' This

force is composed of people who believe in us and lend their financial

support—the producers. To them we offer our most sincere gratitude

for an attentive audience, the city's good will, and the confidence they

have in us at all times. Long after the curtain has fallen on the last

act of our drama and our curtain calls have been made, we will remem-

ber our silent partner who made it all possible.
