' ' Page Twenty-Two ■ The Lion SOPHOMORE PROPHECY TT WILL always be a mystery to me how I could have fallen asleep, surrounded, as I was, by the noise and fuss of the boys getting ready to go home. T HE last exam, was over, many had already said goodbye, and now I lay on the bunk in Nic ' s room, watching their unique methods of packing. An old foot- ball jersy was packed carefully away, while the other suit was crammed un- ceremoniously among other odds and ends. DELMONT came in, the old blue bathrobe held tenderly in his arms, heart-broken ■ over the necessity of having to trade this beloved garment for a pair of socks. As he was trying to make the trade with Nic, I knew that no socks were available. While George Vaughn tried in vain to explain to Nic what socks were, I wondered idly, just what the future held for these care-free sophomores. 1 fell asleep, and in my dream — : TT seemed that T was a guest at the magnifieient church wedding of Mary Dale and James Windham- • Bible in hand, behind the altar, stood Reverend Hailey. Standing majestically at the altar, awaiting his bride, stood James. AS the ceremony progressed, I looked around me. I noticed Wayne Woods, Joe ■ Neal,, and Fletcher Drewry ushering tardy guests to their places. Besides me sat Curtis Stewart with his small niece and nephew, Josephine and Herbert. He explained to me how Joe Neal had become very famous as Dean of Women at an outstanding girls school- He went on to say that Drewry had returned to good old Alabama, where he was leading a pleasant uneventful bachelor ' s life. Woods, (Curtis added), had, to the surprise of all, become an expert photographer, as he was capable of taking pictures from all angles. T OOTBALL seemed well represented, as our bride was cheer leader, and she was accompanied by Ooaoh Little. Behind the altar, was discovered the orches- tra. Amidst the lillies, and soft candle light, baton in hand, stood Professor Mc- Clain, leading the band in an accompaniment of Mary Frances Rush ' s captivating renderence of ' ' Our Boys will shave To-night- THE scene shifted: I found myself entering the Woods-Weaver Studio. When ■ - I reached the door, Ella Frances greeted me, saying that she and Bobby were celebrating the change of the name to the Weaver Studio. CHE introduced to me respectively: Son Weaver, assistant house-keeper-to-be: The Young Sisters, now famous on the International Broadcasting Company; Pete Reeves, graceful vaudeville dancer; Senator Boyd (Olga); tennis champion, Walter Carter; author, Glennie Mae Taylor; blues singer, Lauvergne Temple; Charles Montgomery and Woodrow Hare, owners of the Montgomery Hare Blue Line Grocery Stores; Ray Wedgeworth, the second Lindbergh; and last, but not least, the reporter of the event Christine Key- Son was serving cocktails. A GAIN the scene shifted: It seemed that 1 was standing on a street corner, - - talking to lawyer Bichardson, whose black hair was streaked with grey. This did not seem strange to me, however, as my own hair was white- Do you remember Mary Perkins? ' ' Lawyer Richardson asked. Why, yes, ' ' I replied, ' I do- ' ' Well I am handling a breach of promise suit for her. She is suing Horace Gris- som. (Continued) Page Tweniy-Three The Lion SOPHOMORE PROPHECY AS we stood, talking of old times, an extremely large woman came toward us. She held two small children by the hand, and herded three others before her. As she passed, she smiled and spoke. We looked at each other in amazement. It It was Christine Chancellor Summerford! Poor Stanley! So that is why he had to remain on the farm- A BRUPTLY my conversation ended: I found myself entering a large hospital. The head nurse, Onita Jackso::, greeted me, and said that she wanted me to meet Doctor Criswell. The doctor introduced me to Interne Woodraw Stewart. Woodrow introduced me to Mrs. Stewart (Evelyn Moore), who took me around to see the following patients: Clayton Davis, heart-broken because Mildred had ■married another man; Hilda Bane, who finally had to break down from too much studv; Richard Adams, who could not stand the separation from Porterville; J. H . Hardin, who froze nearly to death in the building that he was supposed to be firing; Frank Sparkman, who pitched his arm completely out of place; and Ernest McLaurin, who tried to become a pilot, and evidently could not- The last scene of my dream seemed to have been many years later than the first. TT seemed that there was a reunion of the alumni of E. M. J. C. of ' 34 at the new A. stadium. I was surrounded by some more bachelors; James Anderson, James Thompson, Arbey Maxie, Arnold Parham, Henry Morgan, and Bunk Hardin. The latter making a speech. Like all politicians, he gave a very lengthy talk. ' PHE students were having a very exciting basket ball game. I noticed Rudy, playing even better than usual, and remarked upon it to Bunk, who replied Boy, you must be crazy to think that Rudy is still that young! That is his son! And sure enough, when I looked down on the bench, there sat Rudy, be- tween Tad and Nic. Tad ' s son Hal (Bund continued) was not quite old enough to play on the College team, but he would soon be a star player. Nic was just Uncle Nic, who lived out on his farm, and raised bird dogs- f NOTICED that George Vaughn and Kirkpatrick were friends with Red Frost and Sam Agnew, even after their great debate over which was the most im- portant, Amory or Baldwyn, Red still had a few scars left from the fight that incurred from the debate, but he did not seem to resent it. They, all four, stood buying hamburgers from Owen Evans, and Castleman Fuqua. Nance Hull stood, waiting impatiently for Mrs. Hull (Bees) who was late as usual. C ' VELYN Eley and Maurice Christopher both came in. They were both still single, as they had had too many opportunities, and could not decide whom to marry. A S the game progressed, I noticed some teachers entering- Bunk identified them for me. The first to come in was Edward Wallace, who (Bunk said) has stepped into the shoes of his father. Next was Ethel Wallace, who has taken Mrs. Thomas ' place. Then came Rubel Cowart, who was carrying out the theories of Mr. Jones. Following him, was Honor Maze Hones, wdio is following in the foot- steps of Mrs- Neely. Last, came Eva Daniels and Iola Moore, who are taking the places of Mrs. Mayson, and Miss Edwards, respectively. The buzzer buzzed. TT was time for lunch, the last meal at the dormitory, and the boys were all going over. I walked over as far as the dormitory with them, and went on to town Page Tweny-Four The Lion LAST WILL and TESTAMENT We. the Sophomore Class of East Mississippi Junior College, of the city of Scooba, State of Mississippi, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, in manner and form as follows: To Miss Miller: Clayton Davis leaves a new croquet club in hopes that better order may be kept in the Library.

RETROSPECT The parting of the way has come — The long-traveled road is no more; We glance back o ' er rocks and stones, O ' er pavement traveled long before. Many miles brought joy and fun, Many miles with care we bore; But, oh, how joyfully we ' d travel on, Yet — that road is now no more ! We face the fork in Life ' s highway To make our choice of future roads; Alluring sights tempt the way, The crowds drift to and fro in loads; But how we pause and think today Of all life ' s creeds and all life ' s codes ; One false step might lead — but nay, Our eyes are fixed on Christ, our Guide ! Those gleeful years are gone and spent, Those careless hours on pleasure bent. Responsibility grasps tight each wrist Points out the road, and whispers, List, If service to mankind you wish, If deep-soul peace be in your quest, If happiness you crave when aged and gray, The road to follow leads, friend, this way. Thus standing, we glance before and after, Pausing we cast one last farewell — Then with diplomas and steps made faster, We march into paths where Duty calls. — Glennie Mae Tavlor Page Twenty-Nine ■ The Lion- i j ,1 FRESHMEN When the curtain for the school year, 1P33-34 was rung ' up in early September one hundred and five Freshmen were running around the campus asking questions. But before long they got accustomed to the surroundings and thus became a part of it. After they had acquired all of the knowledge they could by asking questions, a class meeting was held and officers were elected. Skijipy Skipworth, a little Meridian blonde, was elected president- . ' - ' he took charge of the meeting and Bill Grimes, the Alabama heart-breaker and football hero, was elected vice-pres- ident. The secretary was Srailin ' ' Essie Cannon, and the treasurer was the most intellectual freshman, Mary C. Patsy Law. Miss Elizabeth Miller was named sponsor by a unanimous vote. From the beginning of the football season to the end, the Freshmen class was represented by such shining stars as Jake Scott, tackle and captain, Bill Grimes, halfback, Vernon Oubre, quarterback, Guy Akers, and other freshmen who played consistently throughout the season. During the first semester several socials were held through the efforts of the live-wire president, and our sponsor. These were held exclusively for the freshmen. As far as extra curricular activities went, the Freshman class played a prom- inent part. In the first ' production of the Dramatic Club, The Sign of the Eel, two freshmen, Skippy Skipworth and. Orris Raulins, were featured in leading roles. In the Debating Club the freshmen were again honored in having William Halfaere elected president of that organization. In the Band the freshmen were equally represented. Then the basketball season opened ami after two weeks of practice the squad was cut — among those left were these freshmen: Bill Pittman, Howard Shook, Modie Ward, and Slats Fitzpatrick. With these men plugging the holes left by graduation last year, the team went through a tough schedule in fine shape only to lose in the semi-finals to the New Champs, Goodman. When this school year closes and another comes around, the weak sister of ' 33-34 will be the sophisticated Sophomore class who will rule the roost in ' 34-35- Here ' s to bigger and ' better things next year, freshmen, so all of you return and help add new stars to your already starry crown. Page Thirty-Three ■ The Lion OLE LADY It ' s been nearly a year now — I can ' t see in this world how I ' ve stood you so long — You never seem to remember The money you borrowed in December. Well, let it go— You wear all my ties and muddy my shoes You never ask me — how can I refuse? Oh, what ' s the use ! We were sent together by Fate — ■ But, really, I don ' t mind, roommate — You ' re my OLD LADY! A Poem — Believe It or Not Did you ever try to write poetry? Say, it ' s a pain in the neck. You just sit and sit and think, But think of nothing — by heck! I ' ll admit that Longfellow ' s got me best, But I think I ' m pretty good, too— This is only a sample of my work. I think I can beat this — don ' t you ? I sometimes sit for a whole hour Without saying a single word, Writing poetry, yes, real poetry, The kind you ' ve never yet heard! Maybe you folks will believe me, And maybe you won ' t get sore — I read this poem to a friend one day, And now he ' s my friend — no more ! No one ever reads my poetry, But — I write it again and again: And maybe someday I ' 11 read it As I hold her sweet little hand ! ' ' (Written during one of my weaker moments) Ed Criswell EDITOR ' S NOTE — This poem was saved from the waste basket by someone ' s suggestion that it be put in the Joke Section.

The squad though light was scrappy. It was handicapped by injuries at some of the most critical stages in the campaign. The Lions opened the, season by trouncing the Perkinston Bulldogs on the campus, 18-12. Then, to the lair of their ancient and respected rivals, Decatur, they journeyed to battle them to a scoreless tie with several stars on the injured list. Upon meeting Wesson ' s Wolf Pack they battled them to a dead fall the first half, only to lose in the last half by a score of 33-2. After having somewhat recovered from injuries, the Lions played their best game of the year by defeating Hammond, La., in a night game. And they roared their loudest at an after-game dance. The next game was played on the local Gridiron, in a sea of mud, and was lost to a heavier team, Raymond. Had it not been for the rainstorm — (Sour Grapes)- In a weakened condition the squad founght Goodman and held its own until the last half, when they were licked in the face. The defeat at Troy, Ala. resulted in the signing of a most drastic code by the players. They would not shave until they came from a field, bearing victory ' s banner. This was kinda tough on the courting boys and married men. With the defeat of the Military Boys from Marion In- stitute in the Lions own back yard, came the well-remembered removal of the Brush . Then, the Clark College Panthers were rolled in the dust of E- M. J. C. campus to the tune of 31 — 6. In the next battle, which was with Poplarville, the Lions took a 18-0 drubbing. With several men singing their swan song, the Scooba lads battled the Ellis- ville Golden Devils to 7-7 tie in the Turkey Day classic. E. M. J. C- w T ill regret the loss of the following letter men: Windham, Drury, Ander- son, Mooney, Reeves, Sparkman and Tad Smith — Linemen, and Hull, Barnes, and Nic Ruth- erford — Backfield. However prospects for next year ' s team have been brightened by the return of Big Mamma Grissom. In addition to his return are several of last year ' s letter men and a number of reserves of whom the coaches are expecting much. The re- turning letter men are: Scott, Lenoir, Regan, Graham, Pittman, Stiles, Oubre, Grimes, Gully, Akers, Shook, Riddings, and Johnson. E. M. J. C— 18— Perkinston— 12 E. M. J. G— 0— Troy, Ala.

And even though we lost the championship, we can not say that the season was unsuccessful. The total score was 764 points to 632 for our opponents, and 197 of our points were made by Rudy Rutherford- ' Taylor Smith, Nick Rutherford, and Modie Ward were others whose total scores for the season was high. Additional honors were bestowed upon these men when tournament time came. They showed their ability by advancing to the semi-finals to lose to the new champions- When the All-State Team was selected, Rudy was placed at center. Tad was placed at guard on the second team, and Nick received honorable mention. The Lions will regretfully feel the loss of such stellar players as Rudy, Nick, Tad, and Nelson Mcintosh when the roll is called for baseketball next year. Now we feel as if their places can never be justly filled. But — they served thteir school well, and they are looking to the men who are left of the squad to uphold their names. E. M. J.

This club has as its purpose the development of public speaking in general as well as debating proper. Much lively interest has been shown by the members, and the meetings, under the sponsorship of Prof. A. E. McClain have proved both profitable and enjoyable. Although the club participated in no intercollegiate debates this year, its aims for the future include forensic encounters with the other Colleges and Junior Colleges. The coming year is looked forward to with much enthusiasm and anticipation for bigger and bet- ter debates.

Christine Key Page Forty-Seven The L ion E. M. J. C. BAND The band has completed its first year of existence. Under the direction of Prof. A. E. McClain it has developed into an organization which is a decid- ing factor in maintaining the enthusiasm of the musical side of the school. It has performed a direct and important service for the entire school. This service was rendered in playing at the football and basketball games, adding greatly to the spirit and enjoyment of the spectators and to the encourage- ment of the members of the team. This organization represents twelve of the most Avide-awake boys of the school : Buford Smith, James Windham, Ramon Eakes, Richard King, Edward Criswell, Edward Wallace, J. W. Hare, J. H. Hardin, Maurice Christopher, Douglas Tubbs, and Bobbie Weaver. Page Forty-Eight ■The Lion COLLEGE ORCHESTRA Although it was a little late in the year before E. M. J. C. ' s first orchestra was organized, it has more than shown its worth at the various functions and chapel exercises. Much of the success of this organization is readily attributed to the un- tiring efforts of the Assistant Band Master, Buford Smith. His work in pre- paring special arrangements and novelties has been invaluable. It is the desire of Mr. McClain to build a larger organization next year. Although a number of the members are graduating this year, we believe that with the freshman material on hand, and the new ones coming, the orchestra will be in line for recognition.

W. C. M. Baggett The Young Men ' s Bible Study Class was organized in East Missis- sippi Junior College under the direction of Mrs. Jessie Neely, college sponsor. The purpose was to meet the hunger of young men for tested and proved knowledge and to turn the minds of these young men to the Bible, the real source of knowledge worthy the name. The suggest- ion for such an organization found a hearty welcome among the fine young men. W. C. M. Baggett, pastor of the local Methodist church, was asked to be town sponsor. Recognizing the great opportunity to contribute in some small measure to the enriching and developing of the character of these young men, he gladly accepted the opportunity, knowing that head education without heart education is not only one-sided but dang- erous. Some splendid programs arranged by Mrs. Neely were enjoyed. The young men were truly interested in the programs. This interest was manifested by their presence and by their active part in the entire program and especially in the round table discussion led by the town sponsor. Since history reveals the fact that the men who have touched the life of the world most deeply and whose own lives have been the rich- est and fullest have been men who loved and studied the Book of all books, the Bible, may the readers of this record be encouraged to turn to earnest study of the Bible in order that our age may feel the power of divine, revealed knowledge. May the day be hastened when the Bible will find a larger place in the studies of young life in the schools. W. C. M. Baggett, Town Sponsor Page Fifty-Six It.

By the way, I have a jar of jelly- Peanut butter and jelly! Grand! My, clean sheets, watch out. You ' re in for it tonight. Hey Patsy, come help me move mine. Whew! There, old bed! Lights are off and I can ' t find a trace of my hair net. Christine Chancellor, you have it. Get your own because I need mine- You know, tomorrow is Sunday. Don ' t be such pigs. Say, give me that sandwich — put a little more mayonnaise on it — a pickle or two — Uh-huh-Good! That ' s a good one! Bonnie Sanders, you have the world ' s record on telling jokes. Rachel, did you get it? Oh well, Bonnie, you might as well explain. So you love Nace, Nick, and Jimmie? Kellis, too? Bess, I agree with Nick when he says you have a heart like a hotel — room for everybody. ' Because Castlemen is hard-headed — Bessie, why do you say that about him? Oh, he insists you kiss him. My, boys should know they ' re supposed to start the ball rolling. Sleepy! why, it ' s only 12:39. Sh! There ' s the light. Probably Mrs. Mayson is walk- ing in her sleep. I guess she ' s gone by now. Anyway, who ' s afraid of the big bad wolf? I ' m not jealous, but have you noticed how all the boys have fallen for Evelyn Moore? She certainly is a peculiar girl- Around the girls she says nothing, but around the boys her tongue seems to be loose at both ends. Cornelia — Yes, she said that she was going to Clarksdale when school is out — as Mrs. Red . Don ' t go blab that now ' cause it ' s a secret. Mary Fant will marry Dinky, I guess. What ' s that about Arnold Parham? Christine Key — I wonder if Glennie and Louvergne have eaten all that candy William and J. C- sent them. I wish I had some. Speaking of them makes me think, of Iola — Stompy Thompson kinda shines along that line. Some girls get all the breaks. Listen — Eva Daniels and those Mashulaville girls laughing. More owls in the dorm- itory. Onita, you should be ashamed to try to court so many men. Mildred, Mildred — Oh well, you ' re asleep, too — Have I been talking to myself? BULL SESSION One of the most outstanding forms of recreation in the boy ' s dormitory of this insti- tution, especially during study hour, is the Bull Session. This particular activity has been called the foundation of a college education. These long ami usually nocturnal discussions consist of exchange of ideas on widely varied subjects between boys of different envi- ronments. Sometimes the conversation is on a surprisingly high intellectual level and sometimes it is even vulgar. Whatever the issue, however, the discussion is frank, and candor is essential if an exchange of ideas is to be beneficial. That is the advantage the Bull Session has over the classroom — too many factors enter into the classroom to allow a free and unrestrained discussion between professor and student- Page Fifty-Nine The Lion- Just A Recollection — ' Gainst A Rainy Day Came February 17, and another red letter evening at E. M. J. C. — ' the annual Stunt Night. Stunt Night this year consisted of very original features. A tableau of the faculty, as they might have been in The Little Bed Schoolhouse , was perhaps the most inter- esting- A midget song and dance, featuring Bill Grimes and Earle Hamrick was most un- usual and ran a close second. When I say a ' ' midget ' ' song and dance that is as near as I can come to explaining it. All in All, from curtain ' to finis, this was a riot of laughter. Picture Mary Perkins as a freckled-faced, grammar school pupil Minus a tooth or two and Big Mommie Grissom bare-footed and in knee length trousers. Now, though it happened long since, you have relived Stunt Night! Mood A La Besthomas — A high black sky with a sharp glint of stars. Eows of white candles standing motion- less on tiny window sills. Little faces whose noses are pressed against the icy panes expresses eagerness and joy- Holly wreaths adorn the doors; log fires crackle within. Someone sings carols — carols that belong to little fine-drawn pictures of waifs in torn shoes and big mufflers, outside latticed windows on a Christmas card. So, it ' s Christmas — some passer-by wails over his cold toes — The gradually sinking sun lends a kind of silent beauty to the quiet hills and fields. There ' s a low, merry whistle — somewhere. If one quickens his pace in the direction of this whistle, a shining, freckled face, peeping from beneath a torn straw brim, offers a cheerful greeting. Just a. ragged little lad driving his cows home — Cotton baskets — set down where work ceased — by remnants of their fluffy burden, bespeak of hasty departures. Prom a distant cabin comes the lazy plunk of a banjo accompanied by the droll of an old darky — Noah was glad when the rain stopped drop- pin! Never too tired to give expression to his musical soul — Soft sighing of stately pines — A mingled scent of magnolias and white roses — i Moonlight upon lilac bushes — SOUTHEEN BEMEMBEANCES— EOMANCE Page Sixty The Lion RED GRAY Two Immortals For students nun come and students may go, But ur go on forever.

Moreover, wasn ' t again rudely awakened by honorable ringing belle, and didst lie there most seriously pondering whether I should wait until last belle to arise and array my being. Thence arose and attired most hastily and off to breakfast. After partaking of most appetizing breakfast didst return to dormi- tory to hear the exalted matron, Mrs. Eakes, urge hall sweepers in a melodious voice to partake freely of dust down. Back to room to shave mine unconquer- able bea r d before ye Chapelle Belle doth peale. Accosted by mine fellow students Joe Neal, Olga Boyd, Clyde Forbus, and Nance Hull who each in his respective turn did ask for cigarettes- Didst most graciously toke one cigarette from pack- age for myself and give them the remains. Thence to Chappelle to hear mine good friend Edward Criswell attempt to make ye student bodv sing, to result in most beautiful solo by himself. To seat to hear the President Wallace beseech students most earnestly to pay board. On to Library to view ye morning paper and pre- pare report in Psychology on a learning curve. Didst see Clayton Davis and Mildred Hogbood, Sam Agnew and Onita Jackson, Patsy Law and Steve Rich- ardson attempting to warm up radiators. Didst espy most loving couple Ella Pearl Chancey and Algie Hailey at corner table gazing into each other ' s eyes. Then to Psychology class to hear honorable Mrs- Mason argue very fluently on ye discussion of environment and heredity. To Economics class to listen to Coach Little ' s discussion of the gold standard and sales tax. Now, to English class to hear Mrs. Neely lecture on characteristics of the Victorian Age, and to have unfolded before my unworthy eyesight A Dream of Fair Women. There didst sit most uncomfortably until hearing welcome peals from belle for mid-day repast. At last didst reprimand charming waitress, Onita Jackson, who didst blush with anger much to my secret delight, for lack of hurry in procuring food. After lunch to hear Prof- Jones lecture on Parenchyma, Endoderm, and Amoeba. Thence to Band Practice to hear Prof. McClain remonstrate saxophone players for not playing umpah together. From there to dormitory to discuss sundry things with fellow students while waiting for supper. After supper to bookes and give up the idea of studying on account of crooning of Weaver and trombone of Eakes. To bed — a dream of home. Page Sixty-Two ■The Lion Miss E. M. J. C.
