A cloud over-shadows, but as we pause We make a study true and find The cloud will disappear ; If we will use our magic brushes Which are courage and a will to do. We look up and of the cloud; We get a clearer view. It is dark, but as we gaze And with our minds we brush away The cob-webs gathered there We find the darkness of the cloud Isn ' t black as we supposed. It ' s a royal purple, beautiful as a rose. That ' s why we ' re so happy. Can ' t you guess the reason ? It ' s as plain as can be : The cloud ' s old man depression. Whom we ' ve heard so much about. Now you see why we can smile ; We ' ve discovered without a doubt The old man doesn ' t even exist. You see old man depression is just a habit, And it ' s true its victims number thousands Yea, and even more and yet some more. The secret, dear friend is — (That is if you wish the habit to disappear;) Apply Psychology, freely, rub it in— No, you can ' t break the habit, but you can Substitute a clear-cut mind AND CHASE OLD DEPRESSION OUT OF VIEW. By Harold Daws. 17 The Lion Class Prophecy In the spring of 1946 I very unexpectedly became the posses- sor of a small fortune. As I have always loved to travel, and as I wanted to forget for awhile the worries of school teaching, I de- cided that 1 would See America First. I joined an expedition which began at Mobile. When I entered the Greyhound in which we were to travel, the hostess seated me next a woman of about my own age. Imagine my surprise and de- light when after a few minutes I discovered that she was my old school chum, Sally Pearl Mars. We naturally began to talk of our school days at Seooba, from which institution we were graduates. Sally told me that she was now a Physical Ed director in one of the schools in Mobile, and that she often saw Marion Fisher, her old roommate, who sometimes visited there. Marion had been married for about seven years to a very brilliant young- lawyer. Sally asked me about Nellie Ruth Butler, my former room- mate. I told her that the little affair with Irvin Henderson had finally flowered into real romance and that they were living in one of the new surburbs of Meridian, where Irvin was a well-known electrical engineer. We talked on for awhile about the occupations of other mem- bers of our class and Sally told me that Maxine Ivy was a doctor in a large hospital in New York. She also told me that Eddie Sparkman was a successful football coach at one of our leading colleges. And speaking of colleges, of course we both thought of John Moore, who was head of the Chemistry department in one of the large eastern schools. Sally asked me about Robbie Jackson and Katherine Lever. I told her that Robbie was married and lived on a farm near Amory, and that Katherine was the hostess on one of the large air lines. Sally and I had become so interested in talking about our school days that we hardly realized that we were almost to Pennsacola. We stopped here for one night and were very surprised to encounter Leon Bounds in the hotel at which we were staying. He told us that he was the house detective. This seemed a very suitable oc- cupation for him as he had always had a gift for finding out things. After leaving Pensacola we went through Georgia, stopping for a time in Atlanta. While Sally and I were shopping, who should we see but Elkin Woodruff. He was the floorwalker in one of the large department stores. He told us that Ralph had married one of the E. M. J. C. girls and was now working in the Research Laboratory in Labrador. While we were in Atlanta we saw Carolyn Evans, who was en- gaged in Welfare work, and Elizabeth Colbert, who was a dress designer in one of the exclusive shops. Elizabeth told us that 18 I Frances Gray, who was the Women ' s tennis champion, was living in Salt Lake City, Utah. She also told us that Maybelle Stocton had married Sam Weaver and that they were at the time, in El- dorado, Arkansas. Sam, we knew, was one of the leading Evan- gelistic workers. We asked her about Maybelle ' s roommate, Edna Rollin, and she told us that Edna was at Columbia, working on her Master ' s Degree in English. After leaving Atlanta, we went on through the Oarolinas to Richmond, Virginia. While we were there we went to the public library, and who should we find but our old friend, Jane Gore. She told us that she had been Librarian at Richmond for three years, and that she liked it very much. When we asked if she had seen any of our classmates recently, she told us that Christine Clay owned and operated a Beauty Saloon in Richmond, and that Rnby ' e Kynard often visited her. Rnbye, she said, had been married sev- eral years. Leaving Richmond, we went on to Washington, I). C. Of course, we both knew that Willard Stephens was Speaker of the House of Representatives, so we stopped to see him. lie seemed glad to see some of his school-day friends, and began to talk of othrs of our class. lie told us that Levin Thompson was the editor of a large newspaper, and that he sometimes saw him in Washing- ton. Williard ' showed us over the Capital, and in one of the offices we were startled to hear a familiar voice call to us. Girls! said Judy, I ' m so glad to see you! Yes, our little Judy was Secretary to one of the congressmen. r • Saying goodbye to Judy and Williard, we were soon on our way to Baltimore. When we arrived there, Sally wanted to go to the bank to get some Traveler ' s Checks, so of course I went along, too. Imagine our surprise and delight when on reaching the bank we found that the president was none other than our friend, Robert Perkins. We talked to him for awhile, and he told ns that he often heard from Charlie Hudson, who was the Kemper County Demon- stration Agent. He also told ns that Jessie Lee Morgan was a mis- sionary to Korea. When we reached Philadelphia we registered at one of the leading hotels, and as we entered the dining room that night, whom should we see but Eleanor Russell Dudley. She told us that she was doing stenographic work in a law firm. She was dining with her employer, who was none other than T. G. Hollimon. They were on their way to the theatre and asked ns to join them. When they told us that Prances Jones was the leading lady, we decided to go. We enjoyed the play very much, although we did not have a chance to speak to Prances. We asked Eleanor Russell if she could tell us about any of our classmates, and she told us that 19 $ ®f The Lion Haze Blair Hammack, whom we remembered as Hobby , was a real estate broker in Florida. After the theatre they carried us back to our hotel, and we left the next morning for New York City. After registering at our hotel in New York, we began a tour of the city. While Sally Pearl and I were in a large department store we saw a familiar face. Could that be—? Yes, it was Loraine Parke, who was buyer for the ladies ' department. She told us that Ruth Ray was a very success- ful commercial artist and was living at Greenwich Village. She also said that Dr. Wiggins- Rufus, to us-was connected with Mayo Brothers ' Clinic, so we decided to go to see him. Upon reach- ing the Clinic we were met by a nurse, who was our own Shirley Barrett Shirley conducted us to Dr. Wiggins ' offices, where we found not only Rufus, but also our friend, Douglas Tubb, now a surgeon at the Clinic. Dr. Doug told us, with some degree of pride, that his fiancee, whom we remembered as Nannie George Taylor, was also living in New York, and was a very successful play director. We asked Doug about his cousin, Elna Mae Ritter, and he told us that she had married a hometown boy and they were living near Smith ville, Mississippi. After leaving the clinic we decided to go to Columbia Univer- sity. While we were there we saw another member of our class, John Havens, who was one of the historians at the college. During the course of our conversation John told us that Howard Hawkins, the present welter-weight champion, was to defend his title at Madison Square Garden that night. He said he was going to at- tend the match, and asked if we would accompany him. Of course we readily consented, for we wanted to see our E. M. J. C. boxer. At the end of the match Hawk was still the world ' s champion. As we were leaving the Garden Ave were confronted by another of our friends, Louise Sullivan. Louise, we found, was engaged in Settlement Work in New York City, and seemed to enjoy it very much. She told us that Eleanor Bounds was also in New York, and was a very famous radio star. We had heard her often, but did not recognize her because she was singing under a professional name. We spent three days in New York City, and then went on through Poughkeepsie, stopping at Vassar to see La Bertis Poole, who was head of the English department there. After leaving Poughkeepsie, we continued the tour on up through Vermont. At 20 Montpelier we saw Harold Daws, a distinguished poet of the time. He told us that Gully, his brother, was fanning in Mississippi, and was making scientific experiments with corn. After leaving Vermont we went up into Canada, through Mon- treal, and came back through New York, stopping at Buffalo. There we found that Robert Wade was a very successful chiro- practor. Although we did not get to see Sully , we did see one of our classmates, Hermie Frances Giles. She was hurrying down the street, so we hailed her. She told us that she was on her way to court, as she was now court reporter. We only talked to her a few minutes, for we had to go on with our friends, who were on the way to Niagra Falls. We came down the coast of Lake Erie, through Cleveland, Ohio, to Detroit, spending a few days there. Our next stop was Kalamazoo, and we found that the hotel in which we were staying was owned by Louis Palmer, who had been in our class at E. M. J. C. We only spent one night at Kalamazoo, for we were anxious to reach the Windy City, Chicago, where we were to spend the weekend. During our stay in Chicago we saw Udell Dawkins, now a suc- cessful journalist. He .said that he had recently seen Homer Park- er, who had specialized in Mathematics, and was now working out Einstein ' s unfinished theories at Harvard. Our next stop after Chicago was Milwaukee, where we were charmingly entertained by Charlsye Morgan, who was hostess at our hotel. After leaving Milwaukee we visited Minneapolis, and we con- tinued from there down through Iowa to St. Louis, Missouri. While in St. Louis we attended a basket ball game, and were surprised to find that one of the teams was managed by our friend, Ira Mc- ' Dowell. Another of our school mates, Rube Morris, was playing on the team. He had become so interested in basket ball while at E. M. J. C. that he became a professional player. After leaving St. Louis we journeyed on into Kansas, stopping for one day at Topeka. Here we saw May Kinard, dietician in a large hospital. In Denver, Colorado, Sally and I saw another of our class mates while we were attending church. There was something very 21 = The Lion familiar about the preacher. Sally and I gazed at each other. It couldn ' t be — but yes, it was. Dick Dupree was standing before us on the rostrum, earnestly delivering the sermon. After the ser- vice we went to the front of the church to speak to Dick. He in- vited us to dinner that evening, but as we were leaving that after- noon we could not accept. Dick told us hat he had been the pastor of this church for about two and one-half years, and as he had not been to Mississippi during that time, he asked us many questions about his native state and the various members of our class. After sayng goodbye to Dick, we joined the other members of our party and were soon on our way through Utah and Nevada. Our destination was San Francisco, and after several days journey, we reached it. We rested for awhile, then began our tour of the city. We stopped at a large jewelry shop to get a watch adjusted, and whom should we find to be the owner but Billie Gwin, a for- mer student of E. M. J. C. He was the only member of our class that we saw while in San Francisco, but while passing through Monterey on our way to Los Angeles, we encountred Maggie Mae Hill, now an interior decorator. She was, it seemed, very success- ful in this line of work. We we reached Los Angeles, everyone, of course, wanted to visit Hollywood, so our first trip was made to this famous part of the city. Everyone was a little breathless at the prospect of visit- ing that glamorous city. Sally and I were doubly excited because we were to visit Albert Bounds, formerly known as Pee Wee. Albert had by that time risen to the rank of stardom within that world of actors. We enjoyed our visit with Albert very much. He asked us to accompany him to Coconut Grove that! evening, since Dick McAlister ' s orchestra was being featured. We readily accepted, and returned to our hotel until the time. That night we talked to Dick for awhile, and he had his orchestra play Wilis- 1 pering in memory of old E. M. J. G, that having been our theme song. We left Los Angeles the next day, traveling eastward, through Arizona, and New Mexico. While we were in Arizona we saw Oubre Lang, a brilliant novelist, who was making his home in Tucson. Next we entered Texas, where we remained several daysj, making our longest stop at Dallas, then going to Ft. Worth, and on 22 to Houston. While in Dallas we saw Stanton Aust, a very wealthy cotton buyer. lie was the only member of our class that we saw while in Texas, and we saw only one during our next important stop. This was in New Orleans, when we accidently saw Red us Akers, who was, we knew, one of the leading cartoonists ' of the time. We spent three days in New Orleans, and then went on into Mississippi. The tour was almost at an end, for the final desti- nation was to be our own capital city of Jackson. When we finally reached this city and were leaving- the party for the last time, Sally Pearl suggested that we attend the teachers ' convention which was then meeting. This was to be he last day, and we thought per- haps we would see some of the members of our class tfhere. Our effort ' was not in vain, for during the day we saw Pansy Ldgih,t,, Irene Simmons, Mary Anne Bounds, Wanita Grain, Florence Odom, and Mildred Adams, who had all followed the scholarly profession. Pansy said that she was teaching Mathematics and coaching basket ball at a high school in Laurel. Irene and Wanita were both teach- ing in Natchez — Irene as Home Economics instructor, and Wanita as the head of the Education department. Mary Anne was the Physical Education director and basket ball coach at Meridian High School, while Florence was teaching elementary work at Cor- inth and Mildred at Hattiesburg. We enjoyed talking with these girls immensely. However, we soon had to leave, as Sally was taking the afternoon train back to Mobile. As I stood at the station and watched her train roll out of sight, memories of E. M. .J. C. came crowding back once more, and as I slowly walked away, I suddenly felt very happy and at peace with all the world. 23 The Lion Freshmen 24 Freshman Class Officers President Clifton Land Vice-President .

Freshman Day On the day of the Tupelo game the freshmen showed their proper respects for the upper classmen and gave evidence of their loyalty that evening at the football game played on our own field. This was truly a martyrdom for the freshmen girls for they were not allowed to use any make-up of any sort for a whole day, but all lived through it. Each freshman wore a paper sack for a hat and the girls wore short dresses while the boys had their clothes on backward and when approaching seemed to be walking back- ward. All wore onion necklaces which gave them a particular charm (and odor too). All had to wear mismated shoes and socks. Due to disappearance of his trousers, Freshman Connell was forced to wear a barrel for the day. Many of the boys wore pa- jamas. The day was ended by a snake dance, that evening between halves of the football game, the freshman enjoyed a snake dance — Song to sophomores. 30 The Lion CALVIN MeWILLIAMS Most Intellectual BILLIE MIDDLETON Most Beautiful Best All Bound Student JOHN MOORE ;, DICK McALSTER Most Versatile Most Popular 32 DIXIE SPABKMAN Most Popular Gdrl NANNIE GEORGE TAYLOK Miss E.

It was on homecoming day that the Lions met the gridders from Marion, Ala., that they first exhibited real football ability. After this the E. M. J.

We had teams in football, basketball, and boxing. Now let me count up and see how many games we won in football. Well, they didn ' t shut us out ' cause we ran roughshod over Marion, Ala., trouncing them 6 to 0. We trained hard as asphalt the night before that game. But I wanta tell ya, we have two of the best coaches in the whole gosh-darned country. I ' m not saying this to get a good grade ' cause I ' m not taking any subjects under them: besides I already knew plenty economics ' cause my pappy used to go with a school teacher before he enrolled at Sing Sing. We just aint got no experienced men. I know ' cause I was in a few games myself, and I didn ' t know whether I was going fishing or digging bait. I thought the Sun-Set limited had hit me when that corn-fed, steel-ribbed, giant ran over me at Goodman. Several of our men were hurt, those several that wasn ' t hurt were in Scooba. I tried to pray but the only thing I knew was the 19th Psalm, and I couldn ' t think of that. Coach Casper was going to make us high-way back but Jones broke his thumb and saved the day. Some- one asked Coach who was Goodman playing and Coach told him that they were just running signals. Basketball was just about like football except not nearly as many casualties, but the girls had a better team than the boys. We had lots of fun watching the games, throwing goobers and listening to Cheatham and the Hungry Hounds. One long-whiskered old fellow said that he had took a liking to Elaine Brown just on account of her good basketball playing. Rube Morris and cousin, Leon Bounds, trying to be a hero Cost us 75 or 80 games with them freezing the ball in the last few minutes of play and trailing behind. The dumb idiots. Boy! We had a good boxing team; Junior College champs for the second straight year. Little Hawk and ' ' shoot I reckon ' ' Monsour led the way; the rest looked good too, and they just filled that ring full of uppeir-euts. Coach Casper told me that Hawk hit a guy over at L. S. U. Jr. College and when he came to that night, he was singing Lights Out. Well, maybe next year we ' ll deal somebody some misery if we have to schedule a few games with Pumpkin Center High. You know the old saying of the old bachelors club, our times coming. Au revoir! 44 45 The Lion ■ ■ ■ Girls Basketball With only one of last year ' s team absent from this year ' s squad and several new and strong reserves, Prof. Hawkins ' team looked down a hard schedule and thought: Success will be ours only if we fight. And fight they did! The girls suffered only one severe handicap : the lack of a good jumping center. This handicap did not prevent the girls from a successful season, however. They offered one of the most im- portant and enjoyable diversions of the school year. SCHEDULE Scooba vs. Goodman (4 games). Scooba vs. Decatur (4 games). Scooba vs. Poplarville (2 games). Scooba vs. Perkinston (2 games). Tournament games — Scooba vs. Ellisville — Scooba vs. Decatur. 46 J$ ▼ Basketball • With five letter men on hand and a number of highly recom- mended newcomers. Coach Bass ' basketball squad got off to a good start this season. Although the loss of Captain McDowell and a flu epidemic was a serious setback, the Lion ' s machine showed some commendable form. Those lost to the squad by graduation are McDowell, Morris, Bounds, Perkins, Moore, and Hammack. SCHEDULE Scooba vs. Goodman (4 games). Scooba vs. Decatur (4 games). Scooba vs. Poplarville (4 games).

Four teams including Scooba were to have been represented but due to unavoidable circumstances only two visiting teams showed up for the battles. Three represent- atives from Summit and one from Perkinston were the visiting con- testants. This left several forfeits to Scooba and crowned the E. M. J. C. team as State Champions. Victors are listed below. Contestants Trocheshette, Perkinston vs. Clayton, Scooba Trocheshette, Perkinston vs. Morgan, Summit Monsour, Scooba Sparkman, Scooba Eicli, Scooba Hawkins, Scooba vs. Travis Henderson, Scooba Campbell, Scooba vs. Graves, Summit Nix, Scooba Weight Division Heavy Heavy Light Heavy Middle Weight Junior Middle Weight Welter Light Weight Feather Weight Bantam Weight -10 Victor Troucheshette, Knockout Troucheshette, Knockout Forfeit Forfeit Forfeit Hawkins, Decision Forfeit Graves, Extra Bound Decision Forfeit The Lion Southeastern Amateur Athletic Union Tournament. Coach Casper carried Hawkins, Campbell, and monsour to con- test the honors to be gained in the A. A. U. tournament held ini Memphis in mid March. Campbell and Monsour were eliminated in their first bouts. Hawkins registered a knockout in the second round of his first bout but lost by a technical in the third round of his next encounter. Campbell and Monsour made creditable showings as they only lost by every close decisions. Boxing At E. M. J. C. Boxing is a comparatively new thing among the Junior Col- leges of Mississippi. Tt entered the sports parade at East Missis- sippi Junior College in the second semester of the 1934-35 session. Under the able direction of Coach Casper it has made startling strides of popularity. In future years it promises to rival football and basketball as a major sport. Some weeks before Christmas in the present session the E. M. J. C. Boxing season opened with much hard labor for the mitt- slingers. A date was arranged with Ole Miss, but the trip had to be abandoned. Since Christmas the mittmen have encountered Northeast Center (Junior College division of Louisiana State Uni- versity) and the Junior College at Perkinston, Mississippi. The Scooba team averaged from four to five and one half victories out of eight in each series. 50 Tennis Snapshots i 51 The Lion Tenuis With warm weather the tennis players resumed their playing again after a long rest during the winter. Rackets are being- dusted after long disuse and balls are being dug up. The boys being directed by Prof. Russell. Outstanding among the boys are Weaver, Anderson, Daw kins and McOarley. Among the girls are Frances Gray, Christine Clay, Eleanor Bounds, Maggie Mae Hill, June Wofford. Games have been planned for Saturday evening between the boys and girls, and a tournament will be played later on in the season. Singles will be played, then doubles and mixed doubles.

Its harmonious sounds brought smiles of joy to the student body. Basketball fans were particularly delighted when Cheathan and his cohorts struck these rythmical chords. When the orchestra played in chapel the student body became all joy and responded with many gay cheers. Prospects are bright indeed for another excellent organization for next session since only one member will be lost by graduation. Dick McAlister, pianist will finish his course at E. M. J. C. All others will return and music lovers will again enjoy their exquisite music. 58 Glee Club Officers President Margaret Hollinian Vice-President Jesse Pennington Secretary Annie Hoy Carter Reporter Jean Aust Sponsor .
