The Doolittle Annex to the Hill Demonstration School was completed. This building houses the Music Department. A new Gymnasium, located on the site of the old one, has been erected. It is one of the finest plants in the state, containing a basketball court, locker and shower rooms, offices and class rooms for the Phys- ical Education Department, and rooms for various sports such as badminton and ping-pong. An Athletic Field House, which is used by the football team and golf club, was added. A Library was constructed just north of the Administration Building. Built of buff colored brick, it follows the same Renaissance style of archi- tecture as most of the other buildings on the campus. Thus the Delta State Teachers College campus pre- sents quite a different aspect from that of a year ago. The BROOM hopes to show all of these beautiful new buildings in its next issue. . ¥ ;  v %e F A WILLIAM MARION KETHLEY, A.M. President By his ceaseless efforts, boundless enthusiasm, and genuine interest in Delta State, Mr. Kethley has guided Mississippi ' s youngest college to national prominence as a teacher training institution. Moreover, he has found time to make personal contacts with the student body which will be an inspiration and help to them in their future lives. CULT Y WILLIAM H. ZEIGEL, Ph.D. Dean of Faculty By his sincere conviction of the important service the teaching pro- fession has to render. Dr. Zeigel has led every studsnt to appreciate and realize more fully the opportunity and responsibility of the future teacher. Having won for himself a national reputation as an edu- cator, he has helped to maintain a high scholastic standard at Delta State Teachers College. %e F A C Wirt Alfred Williams, A. M.

Faculty J V Z Who ' s Wh o AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES . . . The annual publication of ' Who ' s Who Among Students In American Universities and Colleges this year included Delta State Teachers College for the first time. A representation of six students was allowed. Because of outstanding leadership and for service rend- ered the college, the following students were chosen to represent the student body: L. N. VARNADO VIRGINIA BUTLER JASPER LA PRESTO VIRGINIA ADKISSON RUTH AGNER JACK SUTPHEN x ' -: FOOTBALL D. S. T. C. ' s athletic mentor, Alec Dickson, has done a splendid job of sports here. This is Coach ' s third year with us and we hope that he will be with us for many years to come. He is not only a builder of athletes, but he is also a build- er of friends. Coach is one of the most popular members of the Faculty. Louis Thornton, Statesman Captain, handled his duties well on the practice field as well as in the games. He is also a valuable member of our basketball and baseball squad. Cheerleaders . . . Charlie Morris, Hootee Thompson, Martha Bogue, ' Shine Hemphill, and Luke Perkins, as Delta ' s Cheer- leaders, have made D. S. T. C. one of the peppiest schools in the S. I. A. A., at all athletic events. We can say that Delta State ' s School Spirit has increased at least one hundred per cent, due to their efforts. FOOTBALL at DELTA STATE A bird ' s eye view of the Statesmen shows us Athletic Director A. D. Dick- son, Assistant Coach Howard Shook, Trainers Ray Ricks and Mac Day, and twenty-eight gridmen. Howard Shook, first assistant coach at Delta State, de- serves a great deal of praise for his work in helping Coach Dickson iron out de- fects in individual players. Even though the Statesmen were not so very succesful in the number of games won, it must be remembered that Delta State played the top-notchers of the S. I. A. A. The season opened with South- western Louisiana Institute of Lafayette, I a., where Delta trailed by a 19-0 score. The last game was with the S. I. A. A. champions, Memphis Teachers, which re- sulted in an 8-0 score. The two bright spots of the season were against Troy, Alabama Teachers on Homecoming Day, and Middle Tennessee Teachers on Arm- istice Day. The Wrecking Crew, as the Freshmen were known, was composed of Wynn, McDonald, Senior, Magers, Boyd, and Walker. Though they are not in the above pictures, we are expecting them to be in the front row next year. Both trainers and twelve members of the squad will be lost by graduation, but prospects for the coming year seem brighter because of the remaining Juniors, Sophomores and the Wrecking Crew. The college band supports the tc A.C. Williams in action Warming up %e ' 38 - ' 39 SQUAD 39 — Preston Shows, (Sr.), out- standing athlete of the sea- son, came up to the high- est expectations as Delta ' s most consistent ground gainer. Even a broken arm didn ' t slow him up much. 24 — J. C. Wilson, (Sr.), whose regular posi- t.on was end, was really a general utility man, in that he did everything from call- ing signals to catching passes. A new angle on the football player 30 — Cyril Bub White, (Sr.), was a good, consistent end, especially noted for his ability to keep up the pepper. 40— Jeff Bogue, (Sr.), Delta ' s 200 lb. left tackle, wrecked havoc with the opponents ' line by hard drive and quick follow-up. 23 — Gardner Sanders, (Sr.), was both center and guard for Delta. Despite his size, his spirit and uncanny ability to sift through the opponents made him an outstanding cog in Delta State ' s wheel of defense. 34 — G. B. Edgir, (Sr.), was center or guird on offense, and line backer on defense. His job was to fill the holes on the defense and was accomplished in a most effective manner. 28 — Rod Smith, (Sr.), was a utility linesman, by playing either guard or tackle, and will be greatly missed in Delta ' s next cam- paign. 22— A. C. Williams, (Sr.), came to Delta State from Northwest Junior College. Though a regular for only one year, he has demonstrated his ability, as a quarter- back, to maneuver a football team. 33 — Clifton Bishop, (Sr.), was the only man who played every minute of the past sea- son. His ability to kick and to back the line made him invaluable to the States- men. 18 — James Goodman, (Sr.), was lean and lanky, and a good influence on the team. 16 — Bill Botkin, (Sr.), joined the squad for the first time this year. To speed he added a clear, snappy diagnosis of plays and thus developed into a jam-up back. M37fi 38 — Glen Stumpy Thompson, (Jr.), was Delta ' s outstanding end. He was held up most of the season by an injured leg, but we ' re expecting great things from him next year. 17 — James McKelvy, (Jr.), was most promising of Delta ' s guards. He could penetrate any of the opponents ' lines and throw them for losses. The Student Body should watch him next season. 20 — Wayne Snooky Harris, (Jr.), was a back who could hit the line, reminding us of Chuck, (Charlie Thomas, ' 38). 29 — Edward Dopey Glover, (Jr.), came into his own midway of the season, and continued to improve the remainder of the time. 35 — Bill Ballard, (Jr.), was playing a wonderful game at right-end, when he was shifted to the tailback position. Here he made an even better man with his running and his easy- to-catch passes. 12 — Manley Reeves, (Jr.), is better known as Little Man. A harder to tackle ball-carrier wasn ' t known on the team until a shoulder injury kept him out of most of the last games. 31 — Sonny Boy Gordon, (Jr.), showed great promise as a runner and blocker. He should be one of Delta ' s Four Horsemen when the Statesmen meet the best the S. I. A. A. has to offer. 27 — Bob Leshe, (Jr.), was changed from end to guard. It was a pleasure to see Bob come cut of the hole and lead interference, knocking over all who tried to stop him. 37 — Earl Buckley, (Jr.), joined the ranks after two years at S. J. C. His Grade A defense made him a problem for the opponents ' line players. 36 — Fred Poe, (Jr.), should have been twins. He was an excellent passer, and could catch them when it seemed impossible. 26 — H. H. Rowell, (Jr.), was hard to stop when he lowered his red head and charged forward from his tackle position. 42 — Roscoe Bryson, (Jr.) , was another 200 pound tackle. Coming from Hinds Junior College with two years ' experience, he was a welcome addition to the squad. 19 — Fred McMurry, (Jr.), has been developing into a splendid blocking back, and by adding his spirit to his love of the game, you have an asset to any team. 25 — Charles Hoss Barbour, (Soph.), was the southpaw of the passing staff. Opponents couldn ' t tell whether he would pass or run. This with his signal calling will contribute greatly to next year ' s football assets. 32 — Lawrence Early Shannon, (Soph.), was the only Soph. Linesman. His never-give- way guard work was of the best. 21 — William Art Castle, (Soph.), was the third of the Soph Trio. His work as a line- backer commanded the respect of the opposing ball-carriers. BASKETBALL Manley Reeves Willie Gillan Preston Shows James Goodman Fred McMurry Luther Marlar Bob Leshe Louis Thornton Max Day Ray Ricks Willard Overton G. B. Edgar, Manager On the gym floor, Delta State presented a quintet second to none in the Tri-States. They hold the record of not suffering a defeat before the student body in two years. Although the team didn ' t advance so far in the S. I. A. A. and National Tournaments, the student body is very proud of them and will never forget their masterful performances. The Statesmen defeated such strong teams as Millsaps, Miss. College, Murray, and Troy. Delta State Teachers Col- lege has a varied program in Physical education in which everyone finds some activity. Some of these ac- tivities are: Soccer, Basketball, Aerial Darts, Badminton, Table Tennis, Shuffleboard, Soft- ball, Dancing, Tumbling, Etc. The aim of our Physical Education program is to teach people to play and to create a love for sports which will carry over in private and professional life. WOMEN ' S kJ ATHLETICS The department of Women ' s Physical Education is di- rected by Miss Ethel Cain and Mrs. Sarah Hunt. Archery Pirouette Club 7£ PA The spring pageant pre- sented by the Physical Edu- cation Department has be- come one the most interest- ing events at Delta State Teachers College. Pandora, the pageant il- lustrated, was presented on May 19, 1938. The theme was taken from the myth, Pandora, by M. L. Hut- chison in his book, Orpheus And His Lute. The pa- geant concerns itself with the Greek legend of crea- tion. Briefly, the story is as fol- lows: The gods of Greek leg- end had taken a great deal of interest in the promotion of mankind on the Earth. One day a mortal, Prome- theus, crept into the abode Wedding Scene Wedding Altar Dance Dance of the Golden Ball as GE ANT of the gods and stole fire, which he carried back to earth. This so angered Zeus, chief of the gods, that in order to get revenge on mankind, he created Pan- dora, a beautiful woman, and gave her unbounded curiosity and a very ornate chest. Pandora met and was mar r i e d to Prometheus. They were quite happy un- til Pandora ' s curiosity got the upper hand of her, and she opened the chest. All the evils that Zeus could imagine poured forth to worry mankind eternally. Prometheus, who came just in time to see the chest of evils set free, despaired of life, but the spirit of Hope emerged from the chest and encouraged him to face his many trials and tribulations.
