C. E. Beard, psychology instructor at FSJC, will retire at the end of the current semester after over half a century of dedication to the teaching profession. After many years in the Fort Smith public school system as teacher and principal in various schools, Beard joined the staff of the junior college in 1950. Dean T. E. Fullerton, in an- nouncing the retirement, said, "Mr. Beard has been an outstanding educator in our community for many years and has been an inspiration to many students and co-workers. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service at the junior college and regret to see him retire." In this, the final issue of the Collegian, recognition is taken of Mr. Beard's many contributions to FSJC in classroom work, gifts to the library, and the friendly spirit of helpfulness so typical of his everyday conduct on campus. be a roll call of his former students who could best attest to his devotion to duty and his capabilities as an instructor.

All fees must be paid or arrangements made with the business office before students will be allowed to take final examinations, according to Dean T. E. Fullerton. Library books must also be returned and any fines paid before a permit card will be issued to a student. Cards will be issued before fi- nals start, and instructors will check to see that each student has his card before allowing him to take the final examination. Students should check Monday or Tuesday with the business office to pay off accounts or make their arrangements for payment. This will prevent loss of time during finals. Ramsey Heads Fall Semester Collegian Staff Carolyn Ramsey will serve as business manager of the Collegian next fall, it was announced by Miss Bobby Woods, newspaper advisor. This semester's business manager, Carolyn will be in charge of selling advertisements and make-up of ads. The duties of editor of the student publication will be handled by Kaye Conrady, a senior at Northside High who will enroll at FSJC this fall. She has been serving as co-editor of the Grizzly, student newspaper at Northside. Other staff members will be named at the beginning of the fall semester according to Miss Woods. Students enrolled in journalism classes will fill most of the positions, but anyone interested in writing can work on the Collegian. ELIZABETH HIGHTOWER *** Elizabeth Hightower Named Recipient Of Bollinger Award E l i z a b e t h Hightower, FSJC sophomore, was named winner of the annual Bollinger Award at the musical Spring Concert held May 10 at junior college. The award was established at the death of the Arkansas composer who left his manuscripts to the school. His classical compositions were of the romantic design. The award was presented to Miss Hightower by a relative of Mr. Bollinger. Also presented at the concert was the first annual Choir Key, Both of these awards are given on the participation and usefulness of the person along with grades. The Key was given to Mary Lou Phillips, accompanist for this and next year's choir. The Bollinger Award is available to sophomores only. Virginia Shepherd Named President Of Student Board Virginia Shepherd will serve as president of the Student Board of FSJC next fall.

Editorial This issue of the Collegian is dedicated to C. E. Beard, retiring after a life-time of devotion to the teaching profession. Mr. Beard will be replaced as psychology instructor at junior college, but his place on the faculty will be empty as far as his spirit of dedication to duty, his friendly helpfulness and personal attention to individual students is concerned. As he retires from active teaching, Mr. Beard will indeed leave a vacuum in the everyday life of the campus. But perhaps it is the coming generations of students who will miss out on the best—they will never know what it means to sit in one of his classes. We, the staff of the Collegian, hope that he will honor the junior college from time to time with his presence on campus, and not feel retirement means cutting the ties with Fort Smith Junior College entirely.

This issue of the Collegian marks the last publication for this 1962 spring semester. The 'Coed Eye' would like, without being too sentimental, to express the hope that this column and this paper have been useful and enjoyable to the readers. The 'Coed Eye' has enjoyed the opportunity to speak to all the students through this media and hopes that this column has helped the students and teachers get better acquainted. The one advantage of the written word is that things can be said that can't possibly happen. Therefore, in this last issue, I would like to give everyone gifts. But without the proper funds it will have to be only on paper and in hopes. To Dr. Vines, our able president, I donate a new station wagon; Dean Fullerton, excellent health; Miss Speakman, a marvelous trip in Europe; Coach Breedlove, another championship team; Mr. Wilson, a new Cadillac and twist records; Miss Beck, a Motorcycle; Dr. Butterfield, a needed rest and a twin to do half her work; Mr. Rockwell, permanent exemption from the Air Force; Mrs. Hastings, more foreign language students; Mrs. Pryor, a northern accent; Mrs. Westfall, a new frosting; Miss Woods, another successful paper and the Sweepstakes; and to all the other faculty members, all the happiness that life has to offer. Spring Prom Is Climax To FSJC Social Activities JC Sophs Set School Records Music Auditions Held In FSJC Auditorium Fort Smith Junior College has been host for the past week for National Guild of Piano Teachers' auditions. This event is sponsored here by the Fort Smith Civic Center of which Dr. Hattie May Butterfield, junior college music instructor, is director. , The judge for the auditions was Miss Miriam Spindler of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Miss Spindler, who found Fort Smith a beautiful and hospitable city, said that our college was fortunate in having a dedicated professor in Dr. Butterfield. Pupils from Fort Smith teachers were judged along with three of Dr. Butterfield's college students. Gail Bigge, Mary Lou Phillips, and Meryl Fuller all made superior ratings. The judging took place in the Fine Arts building Monday through Wednesday, May 14-16. Lions Split Two-Game Series With Connors JC In a home and home series against Connor's Junior College, May 3rd and 4th, the Lion baseball nine split a pair of games. The locals won the first tilt 1514 in a thrilling finish and dropped the second in Warner, 11-5. Playing at Hunts Park in the opening contest of the series, the Lions nabbed the victory in the bottom of the 13th inning on Pat Martin's ground ball to second which was thrown wild to first by the Sooner second sacker and which allowed Lefty Walkord to score from second. The Lions, trailing 13-6 going into the last of the ninth, were sparked to a tie by A1 Cosby's three run homer and freshman reserve Bill Walkord's pinch hit single which scored two more runs. The wild extra-inning affair saw the entire Lion squad get into action before the winning run finally crossed the plate. In the losing effort away from home, Cosby, Martin and Jim Jay led the hitting attack for the Lions with two hits each. Cosby Bookstore Ad Tells Story of a Textbook From a bookstore ad in the Eastern New Mexico University CHASE comes this description of a textbook. The Textbook is a unique animal in the world of Books. It is many things to many people. It comes off the presses a robust and happy infant, adored by its author and praised to the skies by its publisher. It was conceived of Scholarship and Patience and nurtured by Effort. However, its future is brief and full of ups and downs. As an infant, it's worth its weight in diamonds, but the day comes quick when the publisher won't give a dime for his offspring. Spanking new, this infant's price outrages students who buy it over the counter. The new baby matures fast in a world of hard knocks. By turns, it is used and misused. It is handled and mishandled. It is talked about, talked over, talked up and talked down. By turn, it is a friend and foe. It is taken to dinner and kept up all night. It gets picked up, patted and praised. It gets discussed, cussed, and kicked across the room. It gets dog-eared and dogtired. It gets rained on and sat on. It is thumbed through and flipped through and flopped over. It knows many owners. It is bickered over, bargained for, derided, and disowned. And its short unhappy end comes when the Publisher announces a new baby brother with a birth mark that reads "New Edition." rapped two long doubles in the losing cause. Charlie Ray suffered the loss for the Blue and White. It was his only decision of the year in the hardball sport. Due to the National Junior College Basketball Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas, and bad weather several days, the loss closed out the short-lived season for the Lions with a record of three victories and five defeats.
