As you travel along this highway of life, You ' ll find happiness, love, adventure, and strife. Many a heartache you ' ll have to bear In this world which is filled with hardships and care. But adversities and trials make you great men And are merely stepping-stones to a victorious end.  So don ' t let your road make you grumble and fret For the best in the world will come to you yet. Build on your highways so people will say, A magnificient character has trodden this way. And when all the work on your highway is through. You can say, Master, it ' s the best I can do. EARLE HAMRTCK Itf Class Prophecy The year was nearly finished. I fell to wondering when I would ever see my classmates again. I had studied in Mythology about the three Fates who spun the thread of human destiny, keep- ing the future from the mortals. I decided to tackle the task of interviewing them and beg of them to reveal, in part, the future. After much consideration on their part and much persuasion on mine, they agreed to show one scene many years in the future. Look at that large crowd, the band is at the station ! It is a strange city? No, even though it has changed considerably it is Scooba. The band leader looked familiar. Yes, it was really Orris Raulings but much older than I remembered him. I looked at the members of the band. I saw William Darnell, but no, that was still a young boy. I was later told that it was Darnell ' s son from Delvalb and Darnell was a gentleman farmer. Someone called my name. Upon turning I saw Rabon Sprat- lin who was the ticket agent- He introduced his wife whom I re- membered as Marie Lee. I asked the cause of the crowd and the band at the station. Marie said that President James Harrison ' s train was due; that he was returning for a reunion of our class. We said that the E. M. J. C. students used foresight in giving James the nickname Hoover. As the train came in three policemen, Hiram, Martin, Herman Hutchinson, and Lloyd Patton, made the crowd stand pack. A welcoming line of other class members and friends was formed. I found myself close to Wo ' odrow Shelton, the express clerk, Mavis Watts, the telegraph operator, and Bill Pittman who was now working in the Post office. The train stopped, the band began, and out stepped Weaver, Rudolph Bryan, and Jesse Sharp, who were, as I judged, his body- guards. Next came Shorty Graham, Secretary of Agriculture, Rachel Davis, the president ' s stenographer, and Skates Perkins, his private secretary. On reaching the college, I was very much surprised at the changes. I saw many new buildings, most of which were planned by Governor Goodwin and as I passed by one I noticed on the corner- store the name Cooper I was told that it was the Cooper Music Hall, endowed by our classmate. I was invited to stay in the Alpha Beta sorority. I was met by Annie Reed, the house matron- In the lobby I saw Naomie Cowley and went over to speak to her. She now had a fashion dress shop and Myrtice Van Landing- ham, Lillian Lee, and Lillian CrUthirds were three of her models. I asked if that was Mabel Ruth Adams across the room. It was 17 The Lion and we went over to speak to her. She was the basket ball coach for the girls and bad a winning ' team. With her was La Verne Fuqua avIio was one of the society leaders in Washing-ton. D. C. and a very close friend to Mrs. Harrison. As someone began to play the piano, Naomi said that Celeste Easley, the celebrated singer would entertain us. I turned toward the door and saw several new arrivals. Among them were Mattie Fern Light, mathematics teacher, Virginia Hare, secretary to the college president, ami Marianna Tolle, the Home Demonstration Agent for Kemper county. Later Eunice Jackson, the head dietition came in. Tbese four were among the society leaders for Scooba. Annie offered to walk about the campus with me. As we passed the hospital I expressed a wish to go in. Dr. Virgil Gully was head doctor. He asked an interne to show us over the hos- pital. I recognized the interne as Dr. Ige Stevens and the first nurse I saw was Irene Bennett, so Well, we always jump to con- clusions. Other nurses whom I recognized were Alene Thompson. Pearl Landrum, Alda Briggs, Julia Gray, ' and Jack Segrest 1 was told Eltis Van Lauclingliam was manager of the Scooba branch of the Van Stores, tberefore I knew that the little fat gentleman in the one piece bathing suit had an arrow fitted to his bow. As we left the hospital we met a familiar looking person who spoke to Annie. Annie told me that it Avas Mrs. Ella Pearl Chan- cey Hailey. Later we met Bessie Jackson and Patsy Law. They told Annie that they might be able to direct a play at the College sometime soon. They were rather successful play directors with the necessary capital supplied by Paul Moore, a very successful playboy. As it was nearly lunch time we returned to dress. On the porch, I recognized Helen Watkins, a proprietor of a beauty salon in Meridian, and Ellen Newel Skipper, who had not quite perfected her invention of an apparatus which would make a flat fell seam by stitching only one time. At lunch when the hall was quiet, some one introduced Bill McNeese. I looked up to find that it was George MeXeese. a fam- ous detective. As Bill rose I saw his wife by him. She was form- rly Merium Shepherd. As Bill began to speak. I settled back thinking he was good for an hour or longer, like all great politi- cians. Bill musl have been hungry for his speech was short. J. C. Hannah, who had recently been appointed judge on the Su- preme Bench, was the next speaker, lie. too. was hungry. The last speaker was President Harrison. There was to be a football game that afternoon. As 1 sat in the bleachers I again began to see familiar faces. 1 turned and asked Annie if that could possibly be Ruth Mitchell who Avas head 18 cheer leader, and was looking so young. Annie laughed and told me that the girl I referred to was Ruth Mills, one of the campus pets. And the coach! is that really Guy (Teddy Bear) Akers? Yes, it was without a doubt, Someone passed, smiled, and spoke to us. Annie told me that he was J. K. Morgan, a Naval Captain, who was home on a vacation. I then saw William Hudson and immediately recognized him as the actor who went in for heavy dramatics. With him were Dinky Wall, the Comedian, and La Verne Warren who sltill had not decided whether to be a preach- er or night club host, During the half I spoke to Henry Richardson, a chemist in a research laboratory in Atlanta, Ga. With him was Murry Regan, who was trying to discover the characteristic sounds for colored flames, especially green flames. Near us was Earle Hamrick, only she wasn ' t Hamrick any longer, as she was now getting a divorce from her fourth husband. I asked Annie if Claude Forbus came to the reunion. She said she wasn ' t sure, but we ' d find out at the banquet. She asked me if T knew that he was raising pigs and t urkeys, which was a surprise to me. Another surprise was that Robert Davenport was a prize fighter. After the game I started to the sorority house to clean up a bit, In the lobby, I ran into Skippy Skipworth, a confirmed old maid with three grandchildren. While we were talking, I heard my name called. I turned to see my old roommate, Vera (Emily) Strong, rush toward me. Over her shoulder I saw Joe White enter with their four children who were redheads. After talking some- time, I excused myself to go to my room, but when I reached the door Emily called me. I turned back but the Fates decided to show me no more. They closed the Book of Destiny just -as Emily called me again. With her voice ringing in my ears, I asked to find that Emily had closed my English Literature and called me to wake up — Study hou r is over she said. ERLINE ELLIS The Lion Burlesque on the Faerie Queene The Faerie Queene is a three fold allegory In which Spenser give.s the reign of Elizabeth ' s glory ; He thought writing a book glorifjdng her name Would help him in the English court to win fame. The critics admit to all without a doubt That not even they know what it ' s all about. You can appreciate Spenser best said Long By reading a few selections. He is not wrong. When the story begins, a knight is on the plain. For those who read it, it begins a pain Because the modern man gets lost in the allegory And wonders while reading what is happening in the story. I called myself dumb because I didn ' t understand. But found out later neither does any other man. Some say his scenes are beautiful — that I ' ll admit. But why didn ' t he write them at once and then quit ! The knight fights a monster half woman and half snake. But I think the half woman portion is all a fake, For her tail is in circles all over the ground And her young creep into her mouth till none can be found. I think of a woman as charming and wearing a smile, But the description of this monster is something vile. To have called such a thing part woman I think was mean. But we may expect anything in Spenser ' s Faerie Queene. In the story a man is transformed into a tree ; That part sounds like a fish story to me; Also a lion licks a lady ' s lily white hand. Such things are never told bv a truthful man. 20 There is a beautiful lady ; Spenser called her Pride. The six deadly sins are her steeds when she rides. Can you imagine such a thing being called a train? Many have died around her castle and their bones remain. He describes the people and things to be found in hell. 1 think that is one thing he wasn ' t forced to tell. What is down there Spenser didn ' t know ; neither do I. That is one thing I hope I never find out even after I die. Then the Redcross Knight is a captive made, And in the foul den until almost dead he stays. But Una meets Arthur, the brave, brave knight Who conquers the giant in a terrible fight. With Una the Redcross Knight departs for spent, But they do not go far before the Knight must repent. He is led by Una to Mother Celestial Knowledge ; What he learns here is worth more than four years in college. When he repents strength comes back that he once had; Then he kills a dragon and rescues Una ' s mother and dad. He and Una are married and never more do roam ; A beautiful ending to a terrible poem. I drew a sigh of relief when I reached the end Spenser might infer I meant to offend For I thought of a love story as they are written today. Not as the Faerie Queene is written — in an old fashioned way. I have heard some say Spenser ' s stories have a beautiful rhyme, But to me it looks no better than this of mine ; And this reads and sounds like a fourth grade child. By this you can see I don ' t think his story worth while. —GUY AKERS. 21 The Lio n Freshmen 22 A, I ' iif ' ' ' ■ • lilr ■■ ,: ' iji, i i: lift p ■ r s Freshman Class Officers President T. G.

They met and after some deliberation came to the decision that dog day would be ob- served. The legal document read along this line. All dogs of the species freshman that are found upon the roles and premises of E. M. J. C. on the fifteenth day of September are to take their natural status of life, removing from their anatomy all make up and unnatural things that they have adopted which make them resemble honorable humans, such as the sophomores. The docu- ment went further in declaring that we the so phomores are re- sorting to this act in order to prove theirwith the inferiority of the cannies (the freshmen) who through association and environmental conditions have misrepresented themselves to the public, the faculty and to themselves in their persistent immitations of their masters, the sophomores. For the administeration of the act every sopho- more was deputized to use such force as belts, words and superior main strength would afford. The day came. (The freshmen well remember.) The first part of the program was amusing as those who came to breakfast that- day remember — the dogs appeared as demanded in the act (pup- pies too). Each master took his chair as usual and after being- seated the dogs came in, turned their chair backs to the table, knelt there and enjoyed their dog biscuits and other forms of Kelloggs. Not being allowed to ask for what they desired, as the humans did, they were forced to their native language — barking. The dining room was filled with barks ranging from the Fox terrie rto the hound. The famous day continued with each Freshman putting on the dog in general. In the afternoon our boys met Clark college on the foot ball field. You remember how we put them under. The half came and all the boy dogs participated in a shoe race. Some came out with shoes of many colors. Others were obliged to take those that would fit their hound feet. Some few were fortunate enough to come out with shoes that nearly fit and somewhat of the same color. The day ended very happily and with excellent cooperation on the Freshmans part. You can bet they enjoyed it. 29 The Lion Freshman Exam. INSTRUCTIONS: Be sure all instructions that is ajffixed heret o is well understood before attempting- to miss the questions that are to follow.

Lavender w S POETS 37 The Lion The Scrub There is many a rose born to blush unseen, many a violet whose fragrance never assails the nostrils of man, many a mush- room whose succulent flavor never pampers the palate of a patri- cian, many a fire-fly whose radiance never reaches a human eye, many a hero whose deeds are unsung. In this latter class falls the scrub — a hero? Yes; He is the man who gets the hard knocks, the bruises, the aches, the pains, the hard work, who acts as the tack- ling dummy for the varsity man, who runs his tongue out to give the varsity cageman the necessary opposition to develop the high degree of skill to become a winner, who hurls the horsehide covered sphere with weary arm for the varsity batsman to train his hawk- tup niie art of swatting the old apple on the nose, who works, day after day, without ever a hope of reward, yet is faith- ful to the end contributing his bit to the development of the team, himself forgotten in his zeal for the common good. Aye, the scrub is one of the most necessary ingredients of a successful athletic system, but who gets the glory? The star half- back who wins the big game with a sensational broken field run gets the glory, but the scrub who in practice day after day did his best to stop the same half-back, making him put forth all his energy and ability and developing himself to the point that he was able to make this sensational run, what about him? Is there any praise due him? We believe there is. A hero? Yes. Perhaps not in the eyes of the world, but in the halls of justice he is rightly proclaimed a hero of heroes. If I had the forensic powers of Damosthenes, I would mount the highest pinnacle of the world and proclaim the praises of the scrub to the nations. If I had the pen of a Shakespeare. I would immortalize the deeds of the scrub in an undying epic. Were I a Phidias, I would carve from the richest marble the hills of Vermont produced, the statute of the scrub. Were I a Raphael I would por- tay on canvas in the richest colors at my command the rightful glories of the scrub. But as I am only a prosaic, inartistic wielder of a mediocre pen I can only say. ALL PRAISE TO THE SCRUB. 38 39 The Lion Snapshots 40 Football With the opening of scnool in the early part of September came the familiar sound, the thud of the pig-skin and the pop of the shoulder pads against the flesh of the wariors of the Gridiron, thus opening the grind of another Football season. The prospects of a successful season seemed exceedingly bright. Among those answering the call of Coaches Little and Bass were a large group of husky new comers to add to the lettermen of last year. Even before the first scrimmage Coach Little made several transfers in order that he might strengthen his team for the coming campaign. The most successful shift was that of Past-Captain Scott from tackle to full-back. Things did not turn out as the prospects had seemed because a. jinx seemed to follow us all of the season, our players either being crippled or being scholasticly ineligible. In our first scrim- mage the team seemed to be run by some delicate but accurate mechanism. This continued until after the first game with Clark College. In the game with the Panthers the Lions showed a pow- erful offense as well as a great defense that was to fall off as the season grew older. 41 The Lion The next opponent of the Lions was the Perkinston Bull Dogs. After a very poor .showing - , the Lions came back in a last minute rush after the Perkinston boys had scored, to score themselves to tie the score at Seven All, with the game ending the same way. It was in this game that we lost the services of T. G. Holliman who had already shown that he was a very capable back. We had two weeks lay off in preparation for our game with our ancient rivals, the Wesson Wolves. We played the champions of the last seven years off their feet in the first half only to give way in the second half and go down to defeat 21 to nothing. Dur- ing the next week Dudley and Obre were both declared inelegible by scholastic requirements. The loss of these two men severly weakened the team and the Lions bowed to an inferior Tupelo team by the score of Six to nothing. The Lions lost the next four games in succession to Jackson- ville, Ala., Goodman, Hammond, and Marion by very close scores, but came out of the slump and showed their early season form by trouncing the Pearl River County boys from Poplarville by the score of Fourteen to Six. Bill McNeese, ia. transfer of that school, played a prominent part in downing his former associates. The Lions were downed by a decisive score by the Warriors from Decatur, in the presence of the entire student bodies of both schools under the lights at DeKalb- With several of the Lions sing- ing their swan song, the Lions lost a heart breaker to the lads from Ellisville. The boys who played their last game for the Maroon and White are Regan, Richardson, and the McNeese boys, ends, Grisson and Pittman, tackles, Graham, guard, and Gousset and VanLanding- ham, centers. The Backs finishing are Oubre, Scott, Akers. Gulley and Dudley. In addition to these players are the three managers. Pall, Forbus, and Raul ins. Coach Little resigned at mid-term wishing his successor. Ray- mond Casper from Ole Miss the best of luck next year. With the addition of a few new men to add to the old ones he should have a very successful season.

Of this group there were only two letter-men Captain Pittman and Joe White, but the others came very highly recommended. Out of this group Coach Bass was able to get a very good first team but was short on capable reserves. The Lions made a fine start only to be handicapped by sickness most of the season. About mid-season McDowell, star forward, was lost to the squlad and later several ' others were on the sick list so when the tournament came on these men were in no physical con- dition to stand the grind of a fast game. The men lost to the squad by graduation are Captain Pittman, White, B. McNeese, and G. Mc- Neese. The results of the games played are : GAMES WON 5— LOST 11 45 The Lion Boxing at E. M. J. C. For the first time in the history of East Mississippi Junior Col- lege, boxing has been installed as a major sport in athletics. Much interest has been shown toward this sport, and the E. M. J. C. Mitt- men are making great headway in learning the art of self defense. Much praise was given to the Scooba fighters when they en- countered Perkinston in a seven bout program in the Perkinston gymnasium. Perk, with men of three and four years experience in the fight game, managed to edge out a 3 to 1 victory. It was the closest fight Perk has had in years and never for a moment were the bull-dogs given a rest. It was fight, from start to finish. Our one victory was registered by Gousset, 172 lb. light heavy over Jones. He put Jones away in 15 seconds of the first round with a terrific right to the body. Many are for boxing and next year we are sure to have one of the best teams in Junior Colleges. Of the many out the ones show- ing great promise are Aust and Warren, Feather weight; Dupree and Shelton, Light weights; Hawkins, welter; Sparkman. MeXeese. Morgan, Davenport and Little, Middle weight; Gousset and Steph- ens, Light heavy; Woodruff, Heavy weight, t 46 p z f A N o V trJL- Dramatic Club Albert Bounds Ruth Bridges William Darnell Udell Dawkins Earle Hamrick Irvin D.

The band plays for ' dramatic performances, ball games, socials and, all special occasions thereby becoming an indis- pensible feature of the college. Early in October the Band was invited to broadcast over W. 0. 0. C. Among the many trips made the outstanding ones were : DeKalb, Porterville, Binnsville and Collinsville. 52 E, M. J. C. Orchestra Under the direction of Bnford Smith the E. M. J. C. Orchestra began rehearsing just after Christmas and later became one of the main sources of enjoyment for the students. This accomplished musician worked many long hours directing the orchestra through the intricate phases of this type of music. The members responded to the nth degree and much improvement resulted, so that when The College Chorders appeared publicly for the first time they wre well received. Through the support of the Dormitory students several orch- estra members were procured. With these orchestrations the Chorders were able to entertain on several different occasions among them being the supper music played for the visiting teams during the State tournament. The members of this excellent organization were entertained delightfully by Mrs. Johnson and various other ladies who put their houses at the orchestra ' s disposal during rehearsals. Lovers of orchestra music can look forward to a fine orchestra in ' 36 and ' 37 for with the exception of one member the orchestra will remain intact. Orris Rawlins, the drummer will be missed very much as he is the sole member not returning. The Chord- ers who will again be under the leadership of Smitty are: Davis, 1st Saxophone ; Jones, 2nd Saxophone ; Hare, Trumpet ; Eley, Trumpet; Eakes, Trombone; Johnson, Bass; Woods, Guitar; and Robert Clapp, piano. 53 The Lion Glee Club Officers President Raymond Bakes Vice President.

Space does not permit the mention- ing of each individual or group who has aided in this publication, but in our harts there is gratitude to each of them. To those whose names do not appear, we owe an intangible debt, which can not be measured or repaid in full. To the advertisers and business men whose assistance was so valuable in a financial way, we are very grateful ; and we sincerely trust that the student body will evi- cnce its gratitude for this cooperation and kindness by reciprocation. We request that the student body, in so far as is possible, let their Lion be their index for all business transactions. 5H The Lio n Usher — Seat in the orchestra, madame?
