March Gras: A Mobile Tradition Mardi Gras 1983 was no different from any Mardi Gras in the past with revelry and celebration. But where did it all come from? The LeMoyne Brothers, in 1702, brought their Latin celebration of Mardi Gras with them to the New World. The first record- ed Mardi Gras celebration on the Gulf Coast was the Societe de la Saint Louis. Mobile ' s Mystic societies were begun dur- ing the I830 ' s. The Striper ' s Independent Society, organized in 1842, became the ol- dest of Mobile ' s Mystic Societies. The Crescent City, New Orleans, got its carnival and Mardi Gras celebrations from Mobile. In the early l85Cs, several Mobilians succeeded in taking the tradi- tion along with them to New Orleans, which is now Mobile ' s only opposition in Mardi Gras proceedings. After the Civil War, a man named Joe Cain received the Mardi Gras jubilee in Mobile. He has since been celebrated on Mardi Gras Sunday with the Joe Cain pa- rade. Since then, the joy and nonsense of Mardi Gras is anticipated by young and old alike, and when the season comes upon us each year, we can feel the excitement in the air! Senior, Mary Jane Rice, was crowned queen of the Mystic Stripers in Mardi Gras 1983. Her father has been a member of the Mystic Stripers for more than a decade and he was Mary Jane ' s king. Mary Jane rode on the queen ' s float in the Stripers parade, and then reigned over the Striper ' s Ball. 5C Activities
