Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1929 volume:

The Pilot Foreword We feel that our college has opened a new era of educational advancement in this section of the country. And it is our aim and ambition to help it grow and expand into an educational institution worthy of the high aims toward which all educational institutions aspire. Caruthersville Junior College is in its infancy; it is honored by the glory of a beginning, inspired with the determination to become a permanent, growing, widening institution, and will ever endeavor to uphold the high standard of education practiced by colleges throughout this land. The present student body, we trust, have felt the vibration of this gigantic machinery of education. They have witnessed a machine in the making, a ship of education, launched on the sea of life; to them is the honor of becoming organizers of a new college, Pioneer Pilots. To prospective college students: We sincerely hope you will attend this school and help it grow into a beneficial educational institution. Dedication To the members of the school board, and to the citizens of Caruthersville and Pemiscot county, whose untiring efforts in the advancement of education has made this college possible, we gratefully dedicate this, the first issue of The Pilot.

PILOl DEDICATED TO THE FUTURE SOPHOMORES OF C. J. C. AND TO THE SPIRIT OF GOOD WILL WHICH MUST BE AMONG THEM From the colleges of Will Mayfield, Stephens, William Jewell, Central, Cape Girardeau and many others, we came to Caruthersville Junior College. After many doubtful head-shakes, many refusals on the part of our mothers and fathers to send their boys and girls here, the first year of the school’s activity was begun. Now, we have a strong representative body and a growing institution. It is the City of Caruthersville’s greatest asset. We graduates of 1929 are leaving a clean slate for the future Sophomores. We want their best efforts to make us proud to say we were charter members of C. J. C. We hope a feeling of good-will will be prevalent among them. We want success! Success for our city, for our citizens, and for our school. We hope, in years to come, when some chance observer asks, “How is this student body governed?” that we may answer, “By the Golden Rule, Friend!” We have put forth our best efforts. We have displayed our talents to the best advantage for our school. In return we ask that you, Freshmen, make our Alma Mater what r MARTHA BENNETT Caruthersville, Mo.

FOSTER Caruthcrsville, Missouri La Societe Francaise Basketball Football THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman class has clearly demonstrated its earnestness of purpose, its many talents, and its spirit of cooperation—and all with- iout the salutary disciplining which a freshman class usually receives from the class which just preceded it, without the spur to effort which the achievements of the upper classmen and former students give, without the inspiration to be derived from long-established traditions and ideals of conduct. It has appreciated the steepness of the ascent from high school to college. It has given abundant evidence of the variety of its talents—on the athletic field, in the classroom, on the stage, and in the executive council. Being the first freshman class of the College, it has known unusual responsibilities and has borne them creditably. Yet from this very circumstance of having participated in the launching of this institution, the Freshman class derives a particular lustre. In years to come, it will know the satisfaction felt by only a charter member of a flourishing organization, a satisfaction in this case especially full by reason of the ideal ends for which this institution exists.

Sponsor In September, 1924, about sixty-five boys and girls entered the new Caruthersville High School building as Freshmen. We were probably as green as most “freshies”, but we’d never have admitted it. When we returned to school the next year as Sophomores, we had lost several of our members, four of our girls through matrimony. During this year we struggled through Caesar and World History, and we worked so well that we arrived safely in our Junior year. We’ll always remember our Junior year because we worked so hard in order to give the Seniors of ’28 a banquet. Our reward for our untiring efforts was, “You’ll be Seniors next year”. The Seniors of '29 are forty-four. We joyfully, yet somewhat regretfully, approach our goal. The members of the Senior class have always taken a part in school activities. Both boys and girls have participated in high school activities. We had seven boys on the high school football team of ’28-’29 and five boys on the basketball team. The Senior Boys’ Basketball team has won the Inter-class tournament for the past two years. Some of our boys and girls have represented the school in music and declamation. ’ During our four years in C. H. S. we have worked and gained knowledge and experience which will help us over the stumbling blocks of the future. We have overcome our difficulties by courage and determination. We have finished the voyage of High School, but we shall carry memories of dear old C. H. S. through our real voyage of life.

Flower: The Hyacinth Colors: Blue and White Motto: “Climb, Though the Rocks Be Rugged.” Twenty decades from this auspicious and “jazzistic” age the history of this sublime organization will be pored over and dissected by historians in the generations that are to come. We, therefore, dedicate this noted piece of work that comes from the minds of geniuses to our posterity. Do not think we are egotistical! We have made it a point—a goal—to never, never talk of ourselves. We were spared the tortures of being Freshmen. The noble faculty and school board held a secret meeting and concluded that we were too far advanced to be called Freshmen. We became the illustrious Ninth Grade and then passed on (condition! into the region of “Suffer-more.” A hard row in life was ours, but our ensign is “Strive, Strived, Strived”, and we have sat upon the mountain tops and dangled our feet in the valleys. We are now in that stage of education wherein we give the Seniors a feast. This is the only important thing in our lives at present. Its pomposity and immensity fills us with awe. Our only mitigation is that we shall be the recipients in the coming year.

When, in September, 1927, this class of 1931 undertook its march, we were resolved to be in the front ranks. Freshmen we were—green and gawky,—but the knocks and bumps of our first year of high school life brought out much of our true colors, until now we possess that ease and grace which is the legacy of C. H. S. In the fall of 1928 we assumed the distinguished appellation of Sophomores, and in this, the hardest of our four years, we were determined to stand united—to be divided never. Not dreaming of the serious trials in store for the sophomores, we rushed uproariously into battle,jolly and care-free,only to find, to our sorrow, that exuberance is not appreciated. “Buckle down” soon sounded in our ears, and amid the grind we begin to wonder who is to tread “the rose-strewn path of the seniors!” No class before us is better entitled to fame; sixty-one ninth-grade certificates and the roll call in detention speak for themselves. We fully intend to leave such an impression at C. H. S. that the school will be proud to say to others, “Go thou and do likewise.” Ties of a common interest shall always bind us to our Alma Mater, and no matter where we may be, our voices with one accord shall sing “Viva la, viva la C.

The Jay-hawk - had plenty of pep in this game, threatening to score at all times. The game was hard fought, neither was able to score. JACK HOPKE, Coach Mi-. Hopke is qua'ified to fill his position both from experience as a player and training in theory. He started at Westminster in football and basketball. His ability has been thoroughly proven in Caruthersville in that despite the limited amount of material at his disposal in the first year of our Junior College, he produced a team that gave a good account of themselves in every game played and always showed evidence of scientific coaching. With the foundation laid, and the new material coming in, his efficiency assures C. J. C. a winning team next year. Caruthersville, 0—Senatobia, 21 The Jayhawks met with very strong opposition in this tilt with the Missis-sippians. Although our team lost by a rather large score, they fought to the finish. Senatobia, Beware! Next year? Caruthersville, —Flat River, 12 This game was anybody’s game until the final whistle blew, each team making desperate attempts to march through the enemy territory for a satisfying glimpse of the other side of the “0” line. But few times were these desires realized, Flat River getting one more glimpse than the Jayhawks by their powerful aerial attack. Caruthersville, 0—Flat River, 13 The game at Flat River was almost a duplicate of the one at Caruthersville. Our small team was greatly outweighed by the “Lead Lifters” and deserves much credit for their showing. Caruthersville, 0—Lambuth, 31 Lambuth displayed the strongest team encountered by the Jayhawks this season. It may be truly said that they had the strongest team, and such defeat can never brand any team as a poor team, when they fight as the Jayhawks did. Caruthersville, 13—Mayfield, 6 The most thrilling game of the season fought in a sea of mud. From the start the fast Jayhawks played the Mayfield Bruins off their feet. Ploughing through the Mayfield lines for stupendous gain, and charging in the enemy’s territory to an aerial attack, they carried the ball twice over Mayfield’s goal line, Lindsey Smith allowing Mayfield one touchdown on an intercepted Capta,n pass. The Jayhawks fought a clean, hard game, to be rewarded by a great victory. ---------FB-------- LINDSEY SMITH, Captain End Weight, 140 Pounds Stellar right and, he was always right in the middle of the battle, an inescapable tackle to the end of the game. PETE SCOTT Left Tackle Weight, 145 Pounds The ‘‘Happy Warrior” who went in fighting and came out smiling. Pete put pepper in players and plays. RAYMOND CAIN Guard Weight, 174 Pounds This community made a fine contribution to athletics when it laised Cain. Raymond was a mighty bolster in the line. JOHN (Spud) SAWYER Center Weight, 153 Pounds A small gibraltar in the forward wall against which the waves of opposition dashed in vain. WM. DYER BYRD Guard Weight, 160 Pounds Here is a bird that never showed the white feather. Again and again he proved his ability to open a lane through the enemy’s line. A. D. MARTIN End Weight, 140 Pounds Another bird with a brave heart. He seldom missed his man. A vicious tackier and a wingman who snagged many a pass from the air to gain yardage. Sawyer Foster Cain Byrd Scott (IhORGL I.OXCt Tackle Weight, 140 Pounds A player whose loyalty and fighting spirit endeared him to the fans, as the same qualities have won for him an outstanding popularity with his team mates and the student body. EVERETT REEVES Fullback Weight, 100 Pounds A consistent ground gainer whose stiff arm spelled disaster to would-be tackles. Everett always gave his best and well deserves the laurels he has won. F. B. EASTWOOD Halfback Weight, 158 Pounds This galloping halfback was indispensible to his team because of his speed and blocking ability. His iron frame was impervious to enemy blows. CHESTER MOORE Halfback Weight, 158 Pounds Fleet of foot and quick of eye, whether carrying the ball or receiving a pass, Moore could always be counted upon. W. H. (Dub) FOSTER Quarterback Weight, 165 Pounds Always for the interest and progress of the team as well as for the love of the game. REGINALD HITCHCOCK Tackle Weight, 140 Pounds When called to the front line “Reggie” faced the enemy unafraid and delivered every pound in his possession to the best of his ability. Junior College Basketball The Junior College of Caruthersville met with unprecedented success in its initial season in basketball. Out of twelve games played only three were lost. This record was made in face of the fact that the team was without organization or coaching until after the close of the football season. At least one game was lost because of a shortage of substitutes. The game at Martin, Tenn., was finished with only three men on the floor for Caruthersville. The Bluejays won every game at home, most of them by top-heavy scores, eliciting the enthusiastic commendation and support of local fans. The achievements of this, the first basketball team of the infant school, augurs well for the future of athletics in the Junior College. It should insure the presence next year of a great group of Athletics that will come through with a one hundred per cent record of games won. ELMO MASTERSON, Captain Guard He possesses in a marked degree the essentials of generalship as well as ability to play the game. His enthusiasm is contagious. His speed and accuracy on the floor spelled disaster for many opponents. BRAINARD HOPE .............. Forward A wizard at goal shooting. Left open but a moment anywhere forward and two points for his team inevitably resulted. JOHN McDonald _________________ Center Cool and collected under fire; an uncanny habit of being just where he was needed. He could be counted on from the first jump to the crack of the pistol. PAUL MEHRLK Forward His speed and floor work were invaluable to the team's defense, intercepting many a pass to be converted into a score for the Bluejays. W. H. (Dub) FOSTER ..............Guard He fights hard, always giving his best. ROSCOE M. PIERCE, Coach Caruthersville Junior College was indeed fortunate in having Mr. Pierce head coach of the basketball team in the first year of its history. His enviable record of ten years successful coaching is unexcelled by any and hard, is strict in discipline, but every equaled by few. He drives his players man knows that it is all for the good of the team. He possesses to an unsual degree the knack of enjecting enthusiasm and fight into his men, which always means a winning team. IRA ZOHNER Sub Never failed to deliver when he was put into the game. ROY McCLOSKEY ............ Sub Weighs q. great deal more on the court than on the scales. A big little player. WELTON FOSTER Sub Entered school second semester; but deserves credit for faithful work in the limited time. ALBERT BRENT________________Sub His best service and deepest loyalty were given without stint to the team. 1 Opponents C. J.

The Tigers’ hopes were very high when they came on the field for their first game. In such spirits, they naturally played hard. When the “Galloping Ghost” started around the end, it was really too bad for Cardwell. Also, Callihan showed his ability in running ends. With the backfield and line working perfectly the Tigers easily won; the score was 51-0. After being defeated by Sikeston last year, on their field, the Tigers were anxious to meet them on the home gridiron. However, through the re-arrangement of the schedule, the Tigers had to play them again on the Sikeston field. The teams were pretty evenly matched. After a hard fought game, the Tigers lost by one point; the score was 7-6, the same as that of the game with Sikeston last year. Charleston, 13—Tigers, 0 The Tigers out-played the Blue Jays during the first half of the game and had advanced the ball to the enemy’s one-yard line, when Cardwell, 0—Tigers, 51 Sikeston, 7—Tigers, 6 PILOT they fumbled, and Charleston recovered. Now it seemed as though the score would be a tie. However, in the quarter the Blue Jays pushed forward and made a goal. The Tigers were unable to approach the Blue Jays’ goal again. Although they fought a real battle, they were defeated. Cape Girardeau, 14—Tigers, 0 After a long trip to ape Girardeau the Tigers arrived tired but with great hopes of winning the game. A strong wind was blowing when the game started and the Tigers were forced to play a kicking game for the first quarter. By that time they were getting tired and slow. Throughout the game they lacked their usual fight. Consequently they were defeated. Malden, 41—Tigers, 0 The Tigers were anxious to meet Malden’s team, the “Green Wave”, which had won an enviable reputation in football. They were determined to give them a real battle. The first half of the game was a fight; and, it seemed that the “Wave” was not going to show up so well, but with only two minutes to play Malden slipped a neat pass over the Tigers and scored. Before the last minute was up they had scored on another pass. Throughout the last half the Tigers were not able to hold them back. They were defeated by the largest score of the year. Blytheville, 31—Tigers, 7 This was the first time the Tigers had played Blytheville for four years. Having an open date, they were able to schedule a game. When the Tigers came on the field and looked the Indians over, they thought they could easily win because the Blytheville team was so small. The game started, and many opinions were changed when the little team began ploughing through our line for constant gains. The Tigers fought but could not plug the small holes that the Indians drove through. Nanson, of the Tigers, caught a long pass and made the only score for the Tigers. Kennett, 0—Tigers, 0 On Turkey Day the Tigers met the Indians on the Tigers’ field for their last game. There was a steady downpour of icy rain throughout most of the game. However, the weather did not dull the fighting spirit of the Tigers. Their's had been a losing season, excluding the first game, and now they were ready for revenge. The passes and the line plunges of the Tigers were the talk of the town. They outplayed the Indians through the entire game and were several times within a few inches of the goal. Despite all the struggle, it was a scoreless tie, 0-0. High School Basketball Top row, left to right—Mr. Pierce, Hardiman Nanson, George K. Reeves, Phillip Asher, Elzie Musgrave, Burron Wade, Earl McWherter, Mr. Hopke. Bottom row, left to right—George Shadwick, Clarence Earl Butler, John Asher, James Nanson, Chester Moore, Charles Long. The High School Basketball Team got a late start in their practice this season because the majority of the players were on the Football team. Usually a basketball team is nearly developed by the time the gridiron game is finished. A large and eager squad began practice with Mr. Pierce as coach, and Mr. Hopke as his assistant. After two weeks’ practice the team played Steele, and was defeated by two points. Steele had defeated them the last two games last year, but they had to win this season. After the game the Tigers realized that they needed much oiling and practice to eliminate the awkwardness and get down to real basketball. After a Christmas vacation of turkey and chicken dinners, the basketball squad re-assembled, and on January 4th, it played Sikes-ton. During the first half of the game it looked as though the Tigers were going to win easily, but during the second half Sikeston staged a comeback that defeated the Tigers by a score of 21-29. On January 11th the Tigers met the Cooter team on the home court. They had improved with further practice and were able to pile up an easy victory of 54-11. They met Cooter again in a short time on the court of the opposing team. This game was somewhat similar to the preceding one; the Tigers won 44-11. The Tigers’ next game was with Campbell. The game proved to be close and fast, but at the end of the first half, the Tigers were leading 9-5. Campbell showed more speed in the last half and won by three points. Cape Central came down to pay the Tigers a visit and defeated them by 10 points. The Tigers, however, were consoled by their next game which was a victory over Malden by 10 points. After resting a week, the Tigers held an Invitation Tournament. Caruthersville and Hornersville played the finals, but Hornersville won. One of the most exciting game of the year was played on February 15th, between Caruthersville and Steele. Our boys showed a fine fighting spirit but were defeated in the last minute by 1 point. The first Sub-District Tournament was held here, March 1st and 2nd. The Tigers covered themselves with glory at this tournament by defeating Portageville in their first game; Deering in the second; Matthews, in the third; and Steele, in the finals. Girls’ Basket Ball Squad Top row, left to l ight—Dorothy Brent, Dora Lee Portlock, Ernestine Lynn, Elizabeth Peal, Rennie Edgerton, Jane Frame, Carmen Pulley, Coach Hopke. Bottom row, left to right—Evelyn McKinney, Dolly Hughes, Freddie Williams, Cleo Long, Eva Mai Moore, Mary Mehrle, Eloise Green, Nellie Wood. The record made by the Girls’ Basketball team of this season is equal to any ever made in the history of this school. Considering the fact that some of this year's team had never played a game before, much honor should be accorded the girls, as they have won eight games out of eight games scheduled. The coach this year, Mr. Jack Hopke, who devoted much time to training the girls, should be commended for his excellent work. The girls feel that they owe a large measure of their success as a basketball team to the loyal support of the Pep Squad under the sponsorship of Mr. Redman Dunham. As none of the team will graduate, there are bright prospects for a winning team next year.

She has proved herself worthy, and the team would be handicapped without her. Eva Mai Moore—Who plays with alertness, added much to the strength of the team. Her goals were sure. Eloise Green—Better known as “Giggles”, keeps her foe guessing all the time as to her next move. Freddie Williams—Adds much credit to the team. She is steady, dependable, and keeps her eye on the ball. Mary Mehrle—Another “old reliable”, is a dependable guard and deserves much credit and praise for helping the team on to victory. Nellie Wood—Our standby, who guards like a “Trojan”, has strengthened the team to a great degree. If Nellie guarded the score was not high. Last but not least are the “subs” who were always on the job when called upon. They have the Spirit of Loyalty. J ACTIVITIES V Who’s Who in C. J. C. Faculty’s Darling ................................

Vice-Pres. The dim, flickering twilight fades slowly into the shades of evening. From afar, across the stillness comes the hoot of an owl, just awakening from his rest in the heights of an old cottonwood. Day is ending. Within the now closed portals of C. J. C. the beloved faculty is in deep conference. One listening might hear the following: “And in conclusion, fellow faculty members, I, as Dean of the College, believe it conducive to the best interests of our school that the students be organized into a student-body government. I believe that we can trust those students with the reins of self-government and rest assured that this governing power will be used wisely and only in such a manner as to make this Junior College a bigger and better college in every respect.” And one listening might also hear the remaining voices of the faculty giving glad assent to the question. Thus it came about that student-body government came to Ca-ruthersville Junior College in the first year of its existence. This government by the students has as its purpose the furthering of the interests of the College by aiding in the establishing of traditions and ideals which can be looked up to in later years by later students. If, through the medium of this government, the faculty and students can establish a friendly and cooperative relation between the Junior College and the High Schools of Pemiscot and adjoining counties, it will not consider its labors ill spent. And if, through their organization, the students can build up a better spirit among themselves, a fighting loyalty to their school, and a social life, expressed in school parties, dances, and “blowouts” of various and sundry nature, the student-body organization will most assuredly have not been in vain.

E. Thomas’ “Come Out of the Kitchen”, at the Liberty theater on December 19. Their presentation of this famous comedy left little to be desired. Miss Clarice Cone admirably portrayed the part of Olivia Danger-field, a vivacious yet serious daughter of the old Virginia tradition, a part which afforded her much scope for her dramatic abilities. Floyd Hamlett interpreted the role of the hero of the play, Burton Crane, a Northern millionaire, to the complete satisfaction of every one. The protrayal by George Long of the part of Randolph Weeks was one of the outstanding characterizations of the play. Miss Eula Darnall, as Elizabeth Dangerfield, the willful younger sister, displayed unusually good stage presence. Miss Lucille Pierce, in the part of Mrs. Falkener,a haughty society dame, elicited much praise for forceful presentation and fine voice. Albert Brent acted the role of the statistical poet, Thomas Lefferts, with professional verve. Miss Irene Sutherland, as Cora Falkener, charming debutante, Miss Essie Reed, Amanda, Olivia’s black mammy, Norvelle Long, as Paul Dangerfield, transformed into the most dignified of butlers, Elisha Horn, as Solon Tucker, middle-aged lawyer, and Burnette Wolfe, as Charles Dangerfield, the “kid” brother, all received merited praise for excellent support rendered the principals. The play was directed by Mr. Kellogg and Mrs. Boone. The Playmakers COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN CAST OF CHARACTERS Olivia Dangerfield, alias Jane Ellen.............

This clever skit was well received and was awarded first place, over seven other competing numbers. Miss Eula Darnall, in the title role of Rosalie, the most obtuse of serving maids, gave an inimitable characterization. She was excellently supported by Mr. Floyd Hamlett and Miss Idamae Stout, cast as Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Rosalie’s employers. A. W. B.

Science Club was organized to meet the demands of a group of boys interested in scientific work. The purpose of the club was two-fold: The first part of each meeting was given over to talks and investigations about scientific subjects; while the latter part was one of pranks, stunts, entertainment and initiations of new members. The club elected to meet on the second and fourth Thursday of each month in the Science room. The meetings were well attended and the programs were-carefully prepared. Several new members were admitted at each meeting. OFFICERS Clay Huntley President Frank Phillips Vice-President Edward James Secretary-Treasurer Harry Lancelot Jaquiss .........................

To the Pep Club, organized to foster and sponsor pep activities of the High School, and composed of loyal students who gave their time and support until the final whistle of every game, belongs no small part of the credit for each of the victories won by our teams. Under the leadership of Misses Freddie Williams and Elizabeth Peal, whose enthusiasm never flagged, it refused to be silenced. The progress of the game could never be inferred from the behavior of the Pep Club; it yelled just as hard when the score was 40 to 0 against us as when it was tied. No odds could daunt it. Whatever the outcome of the game, the Pep Club, at least, was always undefeated.

The High School Girls’ Glee Club is composed of thirty-one members. It has done more than any other organization to pay for the Baby Grand Piano. Each year the club gives a musical comedy, and the proceeds are contributed to the Piano Fund. This year the play was “Purple Towers”, one of the cleverest and most attractive shows given. Last year the club entered the contest at Cape Girardeau for the first time, and it will represent the school there again this year. For the past three years it has taken first place at the Pemiscot County Music and Dramatic Meet, in the spring.
