Tie 19 3 8 L I O N PUBLISHED by M. J VOLUME 5 FOREWORD When the memories of our happy school life together at East Mississippi Junior College shall have become a bit hazy, and when one by one those rich treasured experiences have lost their charm, if then, the 193 8 LION can recall those never-should-be-forgotten days, our efforts have not been in vain. D E D I , H ■ Hi IN ADMIRATION OF MR. J. C. DAD JONES t • M. J. C. students are proud that they can call him Dad . To associate with him daily and receive his encouragement is a source of inspiration to all who know him. With high regard for his pa- tient, guiding efforts; with appreciation for his loving spirit, we, the students of East Mississippi Junior College, dedicate the fifth edition of — THE LION CATION.

The Annual is a memory book, a family album, a picture gallery, a collection of portrait personalities. To those who would remember the faces they knew so well, would recall the voices they have learned to love, would bring back both the smiles and the tears, and would not forget the little oddities, the few eccentricities, the sly pranks, the innocent jokes, the hopes, the fears, the smiles, the tears of yester years, The Lion of ' 38 is fondly commended. Tis distance lends enchantment to the view and robes the mount in its azure hue. — . D.

C. ( DAD ) JONES The CLASSES AN APPRECIATION As we come to the close of this school year, we are not unmindful of its many benefits. We should like to pay tribute to the inspiring fellowship we have enjoyed one with another. These short months of sharing, working, and living together are a great asset to us. Perhaps in future years when fond recollections shall have been burned upon the altar of forgetf ulness, many precious memories shall lie dead in ashes; but in that cold, grey waste one priceless gem shall remain untarnished — the gem of school day memories — memories of teachers who welded a bit of their personality and knowl- edge into our being, of school mates who have grown dear to us. The time is now at hand when we must part, and if it be years until we meet again — even then, we shall hail each other as comrades.

THE CLASS YARN No adventurer ever set out upon his journey with half so brave a spirit as eighty- two Freshmen began their quest of knowledge which led them to East Mississippi Junior College in 193 6. Such a large group of lively green countenances only added zest to the Glorious Adventure . Among them were those who excelled not only in literary activities but also in athletics. Before the year was up they had passed over the diffi- culties and had found themselves adjusted and really liking their new home. Father Time marches on! Now the group has donned the name of Sophomores. In 1937 sixty-seven worthy veterans began their new path of learning. Together they traveled upward until the end came into sight. Their great responsibility now was to account for the journey. It had been so happy and carefull despite the toil and effort. The social events along the way made the adventure joyful, and the end came all too soon. With the treasures of wisdom and a diploma awarded at the end of their quest, this class marched out into the world. It was the ending of an adventure together and a commencement of sixty-seven journeys alone! s o H O M O R E S The FRESHMEN OFFICERS Zack Rogers President Woodie Wesley Vice-President Mrs. Knight Secretary-Treasurer J.

At exactly 12:32 ' 2 o ' clock Friday night Mr. Triplett took a bath in this miraculous fluid. At exactly 12 :32 T 4 o ' clock the next day he had grown three feet. He was amazed to find himself in knee length trousers, but he was so happy to know that he could give to the world this won- derful product, until he ran out and broadcast the glad news to his f el - lowman without so much as a pull on the short trousers. ientist at the Grow-More University, Day and night Mr. Triplett devoted Times Must Be Getting Better! The Never-Do-Well business house advertised for a typical typist. After giving the job to one young lady, he was shocked below comprehen- sion to find that four reported for work. After inquiring upon this matter, he learned that the four had always considered themselves as one and had no intention of disbanding at this late day. The employer pleaded in vain for only one to remain, for due to crowded conditions he was unable to keep all four; but Zola Avara, Alice Mae Davis, Ida Louise Richardson, and Annie Lucy Eth- ridge threw a cold stare at the be- wildered gentleman and sternly re- fused the job. They just ' aughed and laughed because they knew that it took all four of them to make a go of any- thing. Beautician Sued For Fifty Thousand Dollars The famous beautician. Miss Ruby Johnson, will appear in court the fo lowing Saturday where she will listen to her lawyer. Miss Ber- tha Mae Gipson, defend her reputa- tion and bank roll. The charges brought against her by Miss Celeste Ray are very se- rious. Miss Johnson is accused of neglect, and intent to burn. Miss Ray, while undergoing an operation for cur ' y hair, was left to the mercy of the electric permanent waving ma- chine twelve hours while Miss John- son carried on a telephone conver- sation with a Texas friend. When Miss Ray finally came out from under the influence of the heat she was bald headed. Straight way she announced her intention to sue for damage. Experienced Driver Crashes Captain Cecil Freeman (Ben Dewberry ) after years of experience as chauffeur for Mr. Wallace at E- M. J. C. advanced to the dis- honorable rank of pilot of the Ca- nary. Captain Freeman was making his one thousandth flight over no man ' s land when he crashed into a tele- phone post. A bystander witnesses the tragedy and rushed him to the Parkit hos- pital. Under the inefficient man- agement of Dr. L. W. Rat ' ey and foot nurse. Miss Edna Boren. the patient was soon put in the air again. SLEEPING SICKNESS STRIKES SCHOOL Principal Mary Moore reports that the school children of Crack- Er-Nut school have had a terrible epidemic of sleeping sickness. Es- pecially was this disease prevailing in .Miss Joyce Anderson ' s room. The agreeable Doctor Benjamine Abston was called to investigate. He brought along his infamous nurse. Miss Sara Lee Malone. Togetber they began their investigation, but soon their work ceased and they too fe ' l fast asleep, however their loud snoring aroused the pupils for the time being at least. Shoreside Home of Gay Evening Old College Mates Have Happy Reunion Ten guests enjoyed a boresome evening of coffee at the exquisite home of Miss Hazel Mars. The in- terior was decorated with holly-hock, while the exterior smelled of roses. The guests were beautifully at- tired in lace hankies and necklaces. These jolly girls amused themselves by piecing quilt-tops and gossiping. Those enjoying this gay party were: Misses Ruth Meacham, Eliza- beth McDade. Mable Simmons, Flor- rie Mae Wi kins, Sybil Davis, An- nie Ethel Hull. Frances Light, Mil- dred Smith, Gladys Watkins, and Virgie Alexander. Lawyer Abston Freeded Heavy Weight Champ The whole state of Alabama, fear- ing the results of one of the most breath-giving cases in the history of that fair state, has been in an uproar. Edward Glover, world heavy weight champion, invited a number of his old college pals for supper in the Humble Hotel where he lodges. Because of uncomplimentary sayings about the none too good sinner. Glover flew into a rage and seriously injured Will Wheeler, who suffered with a smashed toe ; Earl Slaton, a crushed instep ; Eugene Reid, a bruised collar bone ; Alvin Stephens, a sprained brain. James Halbeit, a wounded dignity. This unmanly act caused the state to become very indignant and the authorities insisted that proper pun- ishment be ministered to the crimi- nal. Things looked dark for the champ, but lawyer Paul Abston stepped into the picture and worked day and night to defend his client and defeat the state; and he was successful. The only punishment given Glover was the trying hours during which he was forced to lis- ten to his brilliant lawyer. Educational Program Presented Over Local Station Miss Minna Vinson, literature teacher, Miss Madgie Robinson, math, teacher, and Miss Hazel Don- ald, health teacher, each made a most boresome lecture over this sta- tion, PUNK, last evening. Their subjects dealt with the growing heat in this vicinity and how to pre- vent it from becoming too severe. The radio audience will be looking backward to their reappearance soon. LOCAL GIRL WINS Chosen Out of Hundreds Of Contestants Jewel Smith was dishonored by being chosen out of five hundred contestants by Bob Burns as back- ward for the All Moon Girl ' s Bas- ket Ball Team. Miss Smith owes her excellent abil- ity at missing the basket to her ex- perience as a basket tosser at E. M. J. C. under the half-hearted su- pervision of Coach Knight. McLemore-Madison Wedding of Much Interest Mr. McLemore glad ' y gave his daughter, Mary Frances, to Woodrow Madison of Kemper County. For years Mr. and Mrs. McLemore have held their breath fearing that they had an old maid in their hands ; so it was with a thankful heart they prepared the blushing bride for her wedd ing which took place at ten o ' c ' ock Saturday morning. The bride was gorgeously attired in a yellow lace evening dress with gay sport accessories of red. Her bridal; bouquet was composed of red and yel ' ow canna-lilies. The handsome groom carried a huge bouquet of daffodils, which al- most covered his manly chest, as they were attractively arranged in his coat lapel. This beautiful couple were attend- ed by Mr. Wayne (Tish) Loveless, who was carrying a large bunch of marigolds in one hand and the charming Miss Bert Ughtsey on the other arm. Miss Lightsey was scrumptously dressed in a beautiful white flannel skirt with pink chiffon blouse, pink satin sandals, and a lovely little pink skull cap. Her bouquet consisted of a single daisy, which immediately attracted atten- tion by its simplicity. The hapny couple will make their home in Kemper County, and they invite their many friends to visit them if the muddy roads will per- mit. Famous High Jump Honored Miss Eline Mil er, who finally succeeded in leaping a six foot bar without the kind aid of a pole, will be honored by Miss Marie Lundy at the Shoot-Em-Up Hotel, of which she is proprietor, with a five course dinner consisting of jumping beans. LET ' S PING-PONG Mr. Herschel Reeves, famous ping-ponger, encourages this game. He states that it is so helpful in exercising the arms, hands, legs, and eyes. He uses his arms and hands in p ' aying the game; his legs chas- ing the balls which he fails to hit ; and his eyes searching for the lost ones. (Continued on Page 48) FEATURES WHO ' S WHAT And Why Mary Moore was elected Miss E. M. J. C. because of her charming personality, her intelligence, and her noble character. Possessing all the loveliness, sweetness, and beauty that one could ask for, Ruth Francys Temple was chosen the Most Beautiful. Woodrow Madison gained the title of the handsome male at E. M. J. C. because of his Gable-like features. Virginia Hill with her friendliness, her warm heart, and a sweet smile, was voted the Most Popular. Woodie Wesley with the impish grin, the clever wit and the happy-go-lucky attitude is the Most Popular Boy. Burl Miles, participating in all things and doing each well, is the Most Versatile Student. With a helpful hand outstretched and possessing a spirit of loyalty Mary Frances McLemore proved to be the Most Courteous Girl. Hubert Douglas always willing to do his part and more too made him the Most Courteous Boy. It was the industrious pursuit of knowledge, and the application of it that won Zack Rogers the title of the Most Intelectual Student. Eline Miller ' s natural ability for athletics made her our Best Girl Athlete. Starring in spots, Luther Marlar deserves the title given him, Best Boy Athlete.

SPORTS ATHLETICS FOOTBALL 1937 U NDER the coaching of Sheriff Knight, Scooba produced one of the best football teams in years, winning four and losing five of their nine games scheduled. Scooba was led on the gridiron by Co-captains Randall, Thompson, and Reeves, and placed several men on the mythical All-State team; Peters, fullback, and Randall, Tyner, Madison, and Wynn receiving honorable mention. Opening the season with Goodman, the Lions were defeated 3 5-0. This was the first college game for many of the boys, and they were a bit nervous and inexperienced. This coupled with the fact that Goodman has been State Champions for the past two years, led to their downfall. The Lions, with a week ' s practice behind them defeated Raymond on the local field, 12-6. After holding Wesson scoreless during the first half, the Wolves proved to have superior reserves and defeated Scooba 2 5-0. The outstanding feature of the game, however, was the punting of Howard Peters, who averaged 6 5 yards during the game. The Lions came back to administer a 6-0 defeat to Summit. Completely outclass- ing outfighting the Summit team, the Lions displayed a smooth-working and clicking machine. Before a large crowd of Homecoming fans, Scooba lost a hard fought and excit- ing contest to Perkinston, 13-7. Brasher executed one of the most thrilling plays of the year by taking a Perkinston kick-off and running 8 5 yards through the entire Perk, team for a touchdown. Playing away from home, Scooba dropped the next two games to Ellisville and Poplarville. The Lions approached their annual grudge game with Decatur with a determination to do or die. In a bitter contest, with the issue in doubt until the closing whistle, the Lions triumphed 12-6 over the Warriors. This victory was especially sweet to the Lions as it was the first time in five years that Scooba has won over their old rivals. An added incentive to the Lions in their victory was the journeying of the entire student body over to Decatur for the game. Many of the boys played their last game for Scooba as we closed the season with Moorhead. This caused the team to play inspired football, defeating the Sunflower team, 13-0; and again the Lions showed that they had a clicking machine.

Second Row: Coach Knight, Brasher, Reeves, Glover, Thompson, Madison, Wynn, Moore, Lisenbe, Manager Shotts. Third Row: Tyner, Oubre, Ratley, Loveless, Randall, Ivy, Rogers. GIRLS BASKET L L Smith, McDade, Hardy, Barfield, Lundy, F. Miller, Collins, E. Miller, Evans, Avara, Donald, Coach Knight. The Lion ' s sextet went through the entire basketball season undefeated. Coach Knight ' s team was by far the best in the history of E. M. J. C. Throughout the sea- son, the girls displayed an aggressive style which enabled them to defeat Goodman (1937 State Champions), Decatur, Ellisville, and Perkinston. This excellent record placed the team in the Junior College Tournament favored to take first position. They advanced to the semi-finals by trouncing the Raymond lassies, 5 5-27, to be defeated by Wesson, who won the 1938 championship. These hard fought games brought out such players as Smith, F. Miller, and Lundy, who were selected on the All-State team. Smith, Scooba ' s outstanding forward, scored a total of 28 5 points, an average of 19 points for the 15 games scheduled. Capt. E. Miller and Hardy received honorable mention for their splendid work throughout the season. Next year ' s team will be built around Barfield and Donald, the only two regu- lars who are returning to the squad. BOYS BASKETBALL First Row: Marlar, Miles, Randall, Goodwin, Reeves, Spraberry. Second Row: Trawick, Lindsey, Lisenbe, Hull, Ivy, and Coach Knight. Paced by Capt. Burl Miles and Luther Marlar, the E. M. J. C. cagers emerged from the 193 8 season with eight victories against seven defeats. The Lions chalked up a total of 5 30 points to HO points for their combined opponents. This gave them an average of 3 6 points per game to their opponent ' s 34. During the season, the Lions won over Perkinston, Clark, and Decatur; and were defeated by Goodman and Wesson. Luther Marlar and Spraberry, guards, are to be praised for their dependable floor work; while Lisenbe and Goodwin worked well together at the forward positions. Capt. Miles played a steady game the entire season at center. The reserves — Reeves, Ivy, Hull, Lindsey, Brasher, and Randall — performed ably in the substitute role. u c BOXERS Front Row: Triplett, Gully, Nix, Wolfe, Robinson. Back Row: Student Coach Ratley, Brasher, Stokes, Williamson, Glover, McRae. Boxing continues to be the fastest sport at E. M. J. C. It attracts more fans than any other athletic activity, although it is still the youngest sport in Junior College. The officials of the Mississippi Junior Colleges are endeavoring to bring boxing up to a major activity. At the start of the boxing season our outlook for a successful year was dark, since only two men from last year ' s squad entered into active competition. Because of a broken hand, Luther Ratley, the light-heavy champion of Junior College, took over the duties of student-coach. He moulded around Glover, middle-weight champion, and Nix, bantamweight champion, a team that gained worthy recognition in state com- petition. In Triplett, Robinson, Wolfe, Oubre, Williamson, Brasher, and Champions Glover and Nix, we saw a team that defeated Perkinston, Raymond, and drew with Poplarville before the state tournament. Four of these boys are in high school, and are expected to develop into good boxers after due seasoning. Coach Ratley and the boys deserve all the credit that can be given them. They have learned to be clean and progressive fighters as well as good sports and excellent boxers. s s :■ ' . v: THE SQUAD Triplett ... (? bobbing style with power in bis left.
