We pause here to offer recognition to our beloved President, on his retire- ment from regular active service as President of East Mississippi Junior Col- lege, and to Mrs. Wallace. We are indeed glad of the opportunity of being able to tell you of the personal esteem we hold for you and the very keen sense of deep appreciation we have for your untiring efforts in behalf of the College. For a period of sixteen years your unfailing will to work, your energy and your perseverance has been the guiding spirit of this institution. In the building of most of the physical plant, in the selection and direction of the faculty, in obtaining legal and scholastic recognition and financial aid, you have moved forward and onward at times when men made of less sterner stuff or weaker wills would have faltered and failed and lost the cause. When others faltered, or came near faltering, you fought on and snatched victory from the flames of failure. When faced with conditions or situations almost unsurmountable. you have refused to recognize that there was such a word as quit ; to just such a spirit on your part we feel sure that this institution owes its very existence. Truly we are your grateful debtor. You found us with a mere school. You leave us with an institution, ft will be a monument to you far beyond our years, the perpetuation of which will partly depend on those who follow you. However, there is one monu- ment that you have already completed, and this monument is within the hearts and minds of the countless hundreds of students that have felt the in- fluence of your guiding hand and the elevation of your inspiring thought. You have taught them never to compromise with wrong. You have taught them to he ever prepared for battle, how to win without boasting, and how to lose without complaining. You have exalted in their minds the true and you have condemned the false. Through them you shall live and their works shall he your lengthened shadow. Ever in the midstream with you, wielding the oars, stroke for stroke, has been your helpmate and companion, Mrs. Wallace. She, too, deserves credit for the force of her hand has been felt in every endeavor. On behalf of the Annual Staff, on behalf of those you have taught, and their parents, and on behalf of your great host of friends and acquaintances, we want to sincerely thank you and gratefully acknowledge our everlasting indebtedness to you. Whatever, this institution may become, it would never have existed as a junior college had it not been for your untiring efforts and your unconquerable will, and we predict that its choicest tradition in the future will be the name J.

C. and entered its portals to begin our tasks as students. Now our tasks here are finished, and the same doors which opened to welcome us stand ajar to permit our exit. We must go. There is no time to falter, nor linger, in the shade of yesterday ' s accomplishments. Our noble heritage, even the tender ties that bind us here, command our bark in rousing tones, Sail On, Sail ( n, and ( n. We sail. ( )ur Alma Mater has built us a goodly vessel. Upon our sails is her imprint, an ensign we proudly display. Loving hands of master builders have shaped our hull and rigging and gently steered our course up stream when we were prone to follow the current. And now we embark upon deeper waters and far more distant shores. To the craftsman who fashioned us; to our dock mates who shared with us our berth in the tranquil waters, protected from the storm so that sweet memories could be formed that shall sing perpetually in our breasts; to our experienced helmsman who has relinquished the wheel to younger hands — we express our pro- found appreciation. You have given us your best, and we must chart our course well to be worthy of our builders. SDPHOMQRES Adams, Gerald, A. A. __ ..Porterville Debating Team 1 :2 ; Pres. Debating Club 1; Vice-Pres.

J ' icc-Prcsidcnt Dorris Gregory Secretary Isobel McCoy Reporter After the dizzying experience of matriculation at East Mississippi Junior College, Mr. Freshman thought that surely a period of quiet and peace would follow. Instead the whirl of activities increased. There was the traditional Fresh- man Day with initiations, Home-coming Day, the programs of all the organizations and clubs, month-end, anxiety over mid-term exams, and finally, the long antici- pated Christmas holidays. When the grades reached home we understood why Santa Clans did not remember us liberally this year, but they still were not bad enough to keep us from coming back for a nother term. After several weeks of hibernation Spring creeps into Freshie ' s bones and he begins to feel that maybe he will survive after all. Thus, follows dreams of Sophomoreship without the reckoning of final exams. Whether these are passed or not they look back over their first college year, with the help of the LION, and recall memories of one of their most pleasant school years. FRESHMEN Adams, Eunice)— ...

Since there had been no six-man football played in this section it was a new expe- rience for the spectators as well as the players. It is the unanimous opinion of both player and spectator that six-man football is a good game. The game involves good fundamentals that are essential in the eleven-man game. We do not believe the six-man game should take the place of the eleven-man game but it gives the little high school an opportunity for football recreation and also football experience for the bovs. All of the boys who took part this year, except those who are finishing, are eagerly looking forward to next fall for another season of games. The prospect for a big crop of newcomers also looks good. With the experience of one season behind us we expect even a better season for 1939. Scooba enjoyed a very successful season in their first attempt as is evidenced by the season ' s record given as follows: Scooba 52 —Cleveland 13 Scooba 13 Porterville Scooba 52___ .Cleveland Scooba 22___ —Porterville 12 Scooba scored 1- ' !

M. J. C. For some of us it was our bap- tism to college football and it changed our ideas of the game considerably. For others it marked the end of our junior college football which carried with it a tinge of passing regret mixed with gladness. We are not, however, primarily con- cerned with the number of games won or lost, but rather with how the games were played, and the associations we have made among other teams hoping that they may lie long and lasting friends. In the future when each of us have gone our different paths and have become engrossed in the business of life, then, let us stop for a moment, take our annuals, and gently brush the dust from the wrinkled hack and yellowed pages. We turn to football. The scenes which greet our eyes bring back a flood of memories, some of regret, some of happiness, and some of pleasant companionship and wist- ful longings for the days that were and are no more. We muse and ask ourselves, Where are all of these old boys? We have not seen some of them in years. Oh, there ' s the hoy 1 played side by side in the line. There ' s the blocking back, the running passing hack, and there ' s Coach Knight. He worked us hard hut he was a good and just man. Where ' s my picture? Was I on the end, guard, tackle, or hack? There I am! Did 1 ever look like that? Hm-m-mmm — rather tough looking fellow wasn ' t I? — And each of us have our own pleasant and varied thoughts. a t E. M. J. C. We each have the memories of the practice field with its bruising scrimmages ; caked and grimy life under the broiling September sun: bruised shins in the bitter cold of November; how good the water tasted after practice; the idle moments spent at place-kicking; the dressing room with its own rather pecular smell which cannot be duplicated elsewhere. Do you think any of the men can ever forget that moment of nervous antici- pation before a game, the shrill of the referee ' s whistle to mark the starting of the game, the pleasant feeling that comes from winning a hard fought game, which makes the knocks and bruises easier to bear, the feeling of dejection or disgust brought about by losing a game or being outplayed, and the long ride home which makes us wonder why we ever played football ? These are but a few of the memo- ries that we will carry away with us.

The team, though victorious in only two games, showed unusually good sportsmanship. The highest scorer, Esther Donald, played a dependable game at forward, with the aid of Ruth L. Hardin, Edna Lewis VanDevender, and May Nell Stephens who were also very capable forwards. At the guard posts Ardelle Barfield, Ruth Collins, and Sadie Ray McDade worked well together. Their work in bringing the ball down the court for the forwards to shoot was especially commendable. The reserves, Helen Clyde Evans and Lillian Gray, deserve praise for their performance in the substitute roles.

M. J. C. won seven and lost eight games dur- ing the 1939 basketball season. The Lions triumphed over Decatur, two games, Poplarville, two games, C. C. Cam]) of DeKalb, two games, and Perkinston, one game. K. M. J. C. lost to Sunflower Junior College four times and to Wesson twice. John Lisenbe, center and captain, was the outstanding player of the season. He led the scoring parade for the season and was exceptionally valuable in tak- ing the balls off the backboard. James Hodges played a dependable game at forward, being probably the best floor man on the team. His coolness, under fire, and accurate floor shots aided materially in the triumphant wicker campaign. His running mate, Lee McQuary, a good shot from the floor, played a steady game the entire season. Cecil Tra- wick, the other forward, rounded out the trio of stellars for court men. At the guard post, Jimmy Collums and Jake Kaley worked well together. Their work in bringing the ball down the court for the forwards to shoot was especially commendable, as well as, doing some plain and fancy shooting on their own account. THE BOYS The reserves. Jack Kaley, John Bounds, Clinton VanDevender, Phillip Stew- art, and Romeo Stevens performed ably in the substitute role. An unusual feature of this year ' s team was that every man except two who saw action on the courts was in his Freshman year. With an entire team of letter- men back and with the bright prospects of incoming Freshman talent. Coach Knight has every reason to feel that the Lion basketeers are going to be hard to stop next year.

Both single and double teams have been selected to represent the college in numerous tournaments to be held in the near future. From all reports and appear- ances the teams promise to uphold the school well ; especially in the match with the Meridian [unior College which promises to he one of the most interesting games ot the season.

They helped to make our sport seasons successful ones. The efforts they made in rallying our teams who had suffered defeat will long lie remembered. In spite of the downpour of rains, these leaders cheered with loyal fans during the exciting football game with Decatur. In rain or shine these faithful boys and girls in white were always there to keep the pep going and to uphold the morale of the squad. ACTIVITIES COLLEGIAN ..■■.:;. ■ ■ ■■ Sii ' tm The- Collegian is a monthly periodical which is published by the students of East Mississippi Junior College. As well as describing activities of the College, High School, and Junior High School, the paper has included news of local interest. This year is the first year that the Collegian has been in circulation. The staff was elected at a mass meeting of the student body, and those elected set themselves to work at the task of establishing a school paper. That they have done a good job is attested by the fact that the paper which, at the outset, had no name, no money, and only the enthusiasm of its backers to its credit, has met all obligations and ended the year free of debt.

This year the staff has endeavored to present more informally those activities in which the students are vitally in- terested. We hope this volume meets with the approval of the student body, and may we say that we deeply appreciate the honor and privilege accorded us in editing and managing this publication.

Mr. McBride really proved his value as a director by taking students with practically no musical knowledge and producing a first-rate band. Several programs have been given during the year including a concert for the Christmas party, chapel programs, programs for special speakers, and the furnishing of music for football and basketball games.

With a charter membership of fifteen, the clubbers have advanced forward rapidly. The purpose of the club is to give additional instruction and information aside from that given in the regular commercial classes. During the year the members have presented several plays relative to the present-day business principles. They have studied together what business men say should be done in order to get a job, t hold a job, and how to get promotions. Demonstrations have been given illustrating the use of the many office machines used in the business world of today.

Early in the school year the Club gave a series of luncheons for members of the faculty. The most colorful event of the year was the Christmas tea at which Mary Evelyn Glasgow and Alice Clayton Snider presided at the tea table and the officers composed the receiving line. The club presented a one-act play on Home Relationship during the units on the study of the family. The spring activities are a parade of fashions, the annual clothing exhibit, Easter egg hunt, a sunrise breakfast, and a May Day reception. First Roiv: Mrs. Williamson, Anna Ruth Wall.

ADVERTISERS In Appreciation In publishing a yearbook cooperation is indispensable. The 1939 LION was made possible by the invaluable activity of our supporters throughout Kemper, Lauderdale, and Noxubee Counties. It is for them that we now pause to give recognition. We thank the student body and the faculty for their cooperative attitude; Mr. Pruitt for his outstanding photography; Mar jorie Landes for her splendid cooperation with our art editor; the Alabama Engrav- ing Company and Birmingham Printing Company for their untiring- efforts to give us a truly distinctive annual. The Annual Staff ENTHUSIASM for our clothes cause a lot of men to buy several overcoats. We just can ' t hold them down to one coat. It ' s the same with our suits, our Ladies ' Department, our Athletic Equipment, and all our depart- ments. You will be enthusiastic, too, when you see the great selec- tions of styled merchandise we dis- play. Merchandise that has enabled us to grow year by year for the past 50 years.
