It is with a feeling of reluctance that we complete the book, for we know it is made not only of paper and ink, but also of memories of happy college days and lifelong friendships.

S. and East Mississippi Junior College: I take this method to express my appreciation to the students of the Kemper County A. H. S. and the East Mississippi Junior College for the co-operation and for the fine spirit shown during the entire school year of 1940-41. We have indeed had a very successful year and I hope that every student has gained something that will be of permanent value during the years that lie out ahead. I shall not forget the pleasant associations that I have had with you this year. I shall not forget the individual student and the part he or she may have played during this session. It is my wish that every student, who does not complete his work, return for the session 1941-42. We regret that the sophomores will not be with us again as students. Our best wishes go with them wher- ever they may be. No finer or more loyal group has ever gone from this institution. East Mississippi Junior College will always be indebted to them for their many contributions to college life. In conclusion may I say that it has been a pleasure to work with you, and if I can ever help you in any way I shall appreciate it if you will call on me. Very truly yours, CHARLES E.

We who joined together our hearts and interests just yesterday, as freshmen, we who have faithfully served the best interests of the college, we who have profited by two years ' instruction have come to our last milepost in this Junior College as the same youthful, but more sedate and wiser class. Although our activities have been varied, we have sought and attained an admirable spirit of unity, a spirit not to be broken by departure. At the threshold of graduation comes that inevitable mood of contemplation. Thoughts of bygone days envelop the mind. Those yesterdays which brought happiness as well as hard work steal their way into consciousness. Pleasant associations must be left behind to become nothing more than happy memories. Graduation Day brings new visions, new hopes, new expectations from out the distance to become sudden realities. 10 ADAMS, HAROLD, A. A. - - - Porterville Always ready to help ALFORD, CAROLYN, A.

Our first year was truly dreaded for its ordeals at the hands of the Sophomores. In quick succession came matriculation, shaved heads, inferiority complexes (developed through playing maid and valet to our upper classmen), Home-coming and Freshman Day, and finally the long-anticipated Christmas holidays. We gradually learned that the things which we feared were mostly imaginary and that college was not such a bad place after all. Even the classes were not so terrible as we had thought. Soon spring came. As we were quite busy with organizations and clubs, we hardly realized that almost a year had passed. We began to feel that we had survived after all. Pleasant memories — memories of our first year at E. M. J. C. — will come to us as we look over the pages of this Lion. 16 ABERNATHY, DOROTHY Saltillo AKINES, HAZE ------ Betham ANDERSON, WALTER ARMSTRONG, JACK Shuqualak Meridian ASHE, ROBERT, JR. - - - - - Tupelo AUST, LOIS -------- Scoots BARNETT, BOBBIE DeKalb BAUCHMAN, EDNA EARLE - - - Preston BEAZLEY, ELIZABETH ----- Scoots BEAN, VIRGINIA ------ Prairi BLOUNT, RAYMOND - - - Geiger, Ala.

As the end of the year draws near, we, the Juniors, believe that we have crossed one mile stone. We have all enjoyed the new school and faculty, although it was a great step from Junior High to Senior High. After this year ' s exper- ience, we hope to accomplish more as seniors.

C. A. H. S. has not spent the entire four years of high school together, but each member has had the same goal in mind toward which to climb. Each person has striven to take advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves, and to prepare himself bet- ter for a useful and profitable life. The future holds great opportunities as well as great responsibilities for the Seniors of ' 41, and, as we launch out into wider fields, we shall con- tinue to manifest the same spirit of loyalty and co-operation that we have shown in High School. May every effort toward reaching the goal in life for which we work be crowned with success. 1 . Can you imagine? 2. We ' ll tell on you, Prof. 3. Stunting outfits. 4. Mr. Jones and our debaters. 5.

THE COLLEGIAN also prints original articles by students which merit publication. This year THE COLLEGIAN joined the Mississippi Scholastic Press Asso- ciation, and at its annual meeting at Mississippi State College our paper was rated First Class. The staff has made every effort to make this volume of THE COL- LEGIAN a credit to the college and to promote the fine school spirit for which it stands. 24 Gie Lion Staff Editor ------------ JANIE GARNER Business Manager -------- JACK ARMSTRONG Assistant Editor ----- - - DOROTHY ABERNATHY Assistant Business Manager - ARNOLD GULLY Advertising Manager - - LINTON McDONALD Assistant Advertising Manager EILEEN VINCENT Literary Editor ------- - ANNA LEE LINDLEY Organization Editor - - - PAUL WALKER Art Editors - ROSABEL HOWARD, RUTH LYNCH, RUTH IE WHITE, and AARON VAUGHAN Sports Editor --------- J.

The Glee Club, with its renditions of classical and semi-classical music, folk songs, and negro spirituals, has added a touch of beauty to life on the campus. Under the direction of Miss Mary Leila Gardner, with Miss Dorothy Hollis as pianist, the club has accomplished much. Occasional programs were rendered in chapel and in vesper services. Special programs were presented at the March meeting of the Kemper County Teachers ' Association and in neighboring high schools. 26 B a n j Mr. C. E. McBride, by determination and constant practice, has whipped the band into good condition. In the fall the ability of its members to march in formation was displayed on the football field. In addition to giving a number of concerts on the campus, the band ac- cepted invitations to play in several near-by towns. Sporting handsome new uniforms, maroon in color, they competed with the Junior College Bands of the state at Jackson, and there proved themselves highly competent musicians.

The Dramatic Club has had the distinction of being the largest organization on the campus. At the beginning of the year the eighty members were divided into two groups, or com- panies, under the leadership of Arlene Johnson and Wesley Crisham. Certain members in each group were selected as directors, stage managers, costume designers, electricians, and actors, according to their special abilities. At the regular club meetings these teams have alternated in the production of one-act plays and have vied with one another in the quality of their perfor mances. The climax of the year ' s activities was the presentation of THE LUCK PIECE, a one-act tragedy, in the Little Theatre tournament held at Decatur on March 19. We are justly proud of the showing made by our cast in competition with the other junior colleges of this district and of the State. On April 24 the Dramatic Club, under the direction of our sponsor, Miss Shipman, will present three one-act plays, which will undoubtedly represent the best talent in the organi- zation. 30 Le Cercle Francais President ------------- ARLENE JOHNSON Vice President ------------- PAUL WALKER Secretary and Treasurer ---------- LENELLE MAXCY Reporter ------------- FRANK KALEY Sponsor ------------ MISS SARAH OWENS MEMBERS Dorothy Abernathy, Cora Catherine Basham, Madalene Clifton, Leslie Dodson, Mildred Glenn, Arnold Cully, Eleanor Harrison, Arlene Johnson, Frances Johnson, Frank Kaley, Helen Leathers, Elizabeth McLemore, Louise Maxcy, Lenelle Maxcy, Myrtle Reese, Russell Stokes, Dorothy Simpson, Eileen Vincent, Paul Walker, Omera Warren, Clara Edwards, Doris Hutcherson, May Ruth Watkins, Tom McCurley, Jackie Clark, Jack Armstrong, Voyles McKinney, George Spinks, Eva Wheeler, Sadye Claire Hopper, Rosabel Howard, Joe Hutcherson, Dorothy Hoi I is, Etta Brooks. yea Under Miss Owens ' able leadership, Le Cercle Francais has made unusual progress this year. It has given pleasure to the entire student body with its interesting chapel programs, as well as to its members in the bi-monthly meetings. The study in the club of the habits, social customs, and institutions of France contributes much toward a better understanding of French and serves to make the students more language-conscious by promoting as much conversation in French as possible. This year Le Cercle Francais carried its program further than the regular meetings. Not only has it sponsored a number of social functions, one of which was a trip to Meridian to see the French movie, La Vie de Pasteur, but also it has organized a French table in the dining hall at which nothing but French is spoken. 31 ommercia Club President Vice President Secretary Reporter Sponsor ROBERT HAYES ANNA LEE LINDLEY ONETA PEARCE RUTH EVANS MR.

The Commercial Club, sponsored by Mr. Dilts, has served as a stimulant to the students of Commerce for better work in this field. By their association in this Club, the students gained a wider knowledge of the business life of the world. Various types of entertainment en- livened the regular meetings and made the club one of the outstanding ones on the campus. Its special programs, dealing with practical subjects, have been beneficial to the entire student body. 32 H ome bconomics Club President -------------- BROWNIE LONG Vice President ------------ MARJORIE TEMPLE Secretary ------------- ALMYRA MILLER Reporter -------------- HILDA HARMON Sponsor ----- ------ MRS.

The Home Economics Club had as its slogan this year, The Home Ec-ers, the best groomed girls on the campus. With this aim in view, visiting authorities in different fields — a dermatologist, a cosmetician, a coiffeuse, a manicurist, and a person skilled in directing exercises for good posture — were secured as speakers. The social feature at each meeting included the playing of games appropriate for the month. Not forgetting the nutritional side, refreshments were carefully planned in keeping with the party idea. The club sponsored a Christmas tea for the student body, faculty, and townspeople; a Lions ' club banquet; Trustees ' luncheon; and the annual exhibit of the various Home Economics classes, which was in the form of a County Fair with booths displaying the work of the students. 33 international Relations Club President ------------- ZELTRA STEVENS Vice President ------------ ANNA LEE LINDLEY Secretary ------------- LENELLE MAXCY Reporter -------------- PAUL WALKER Sponsors ----------- MR.

It does not support one view exclusively as to how con- ditions which now prevail throughout the world may best be treated, but it fixes the attention of students on the underlying principles of international conduct.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Jones, the Debating Club had a very successful year. Almost every member of the club participated in one of the series of debates held in chapel during the session. In the debating tournament held at Delta State Teachers ' College, our teams consisted of Anna Lee Lindley and Jack Armstrong on the affirmative team, with Dorothy Simpson and Wesley Crisham on the negative team. The question was — Resolved: That the United States Government should require universal military and defense training for all youths becoming of age. Although our teams did not win the tournament, they showed evidence of excellent training and long hours of hard work.

During the four years that Coach Knight has been with us, he has made a name for himself that will never be forgotten, not only here, but in surrounding territory. As it has been said of him before, he is interested both in the present and the future success of his athletes. He has taught the teams the value of good sportsman- ship. It can be truly said that there are no other teams in the state that are more respected for their courtesy than his. A word might well be said concerning T. S. Pigford and L. D. McDade, football managers, and Wesley Crisham, the basketball manager. They are most capable and conscientious managers. 47 4 I i.- QUARLES Guard LOCKLEY -------- Center STUART ---------- End : STURDIVANT ------- Full back FULCHUM -------- Half back McCURLEY ---------- End CALVERT --------- Tackle SRITT ---------- Tackle HUTCHERSON ------- Half back BURDEN ---------- Guard FULTON --------- Half back As the players look through this, the Dream Book of 1940-41, and especially this part of it, a flood of memories will be brought back. No one can know of the affection the team had for one another, but the players themselves. They were always in smiles whether they had won or lost. The squad will also remember the practice be- fore each game. It was hard to get the plays to perfection, but it was worth it and more to get in there and fight it out with an opposing team. 48 CRUSHESKY End CRANFORD End BLACKWELL Tackle McDONALD --------- Guard BURLESON --------- Guard IpPp PREWITT Center PEEPLES --------- Full back KNAPP --------- Quarter back BAILEY ---------- Tackle FOWLER -------- Quarter back MAXEY --------- Half back Although we did not have a very successful year in the percentage of games won, we had a more than successful year in showing the other teams that we knew the rules of true sportsmanship. Even though we had few, if any, individual stars, that does not mean that the players were not trying. They worked as a whole and not for individual praise or glory. It was one for all and all for one. 49 Boys ' Basketball Team Left to right: T. S.

I w I Wk ■If The Boys ' Basketball team went through a rather successful season this year. They played a total of 1 7 conference games, winning 1 2 and losing 5. They also played seven exhibition games, winning 5 and losing 2. This gives them a total of 24 games played and 17 won. They finished with the third best percentage of games won in the Junior College Conference. Frank Hodges at forward ' s position was the outstanding player of the season. He was high scorer with 340 points, an average of 20 points per game, and was chosen as forward on the All-State Junior College first team. Evon Red Blackwell was chosen as guard on the All-State Junior College second team. Martin Hatcher re- ceived honorable mention for his excellent playing. _ Our first game in the toui ment was played against Raymond. We triumphed by a six-point margin. That threw us against Moorhead, the State Champions for the past four years. By defeating Moorhead in the semi-finals 36-28, we received a position in the final slot against Ellisville for State Championship, to stand a defeat of one point. All the players were doing their best, but Lady Luck was against us, and we ' re not State Champions today. 51 MARY BOUNDS Forward EUPAL HOOD Guard MARY JEAN HARDIN Guard ILENE BAILEY Forward GWENDOLYN MAYO Forward MAXINE FRIDAY Forward GENE KIZER Guard HELEN LEATHERS Guard VIRGINIA BEAN Forward ALMYRA MILLER Guard MARGREATTE WEEKS Guard LORETTA COPELAND Guard Although the girls ' team didn ' t go so far toward being champions as expected, they are to be commended for their excellent playing and good sportsmanship. Under the direction of Coach Knight, the girls have improved one hundred per cent over last year. With only four members of the team graduating, we are looking forward to a very successful season next year. The girls played 16 games, won 12, and lost 4 to finish fourth in the state on the basis of games played. 52 High School Football Team Left to right, Front row: Coach Wiggins, Clanton Lockley, Sammy Stuart, Harry Barnes, Edward Kitchens, T. P. Smith, Arthur Carpenter, Dan Meacham. Second Row: Lloyd Adams, Sam Lack, Jack Boyd, Harmon Knight, Bill Sheppard, Billy Lanier, Leon Batey, Troy Watkins. The Scooba High Mudcats enjoyed an exceptionally fine season in six-man football — led by such stars as Carpenter, Aust, Lanier, and Adams in the line and Knight, Lockley, and Watkins in the backfield. The Mud- cats won eight games and lost none, scoring a total of 227 points to their opponents 59. On this record the Scooba High boys lay, at least, a good claim to the State Six-man Championship.

Grantham, Edward Kitchens, Jack Tubb, Dan Meacham, John Persons. Third Row: Billy West, Coach Wiggins, Malcolm Hopper. The Scooba High boys had a fairly successful season in basketball, the leading players being Knight, Adams, Lockley, Watkins, and Boyd. Boyd was voted all-sub-regional center. The boys advanced to the semi-finals of the sub-regional only to be defeated 27-25 by Dekalb, who later won the tournament, SCHOOL DAZE LONNIE BRANNING Editor If It Happened, It ' s In Here Augustus 33, 194? Race Of Century Is Staged At E. M.J.C. Under the able coaching of Roy Knapp, E. M.J.C. has the distinction of having three claimants for the title of the human flash. This was settled (or unsettled) about two months ago. The setting for the race, which took place one January night, had a quaint be- ginning. We haven ' t the details yet, but it is rumored it started in our local gym. There was much discussion as to the fast- est man in this tourney. The favorite in the contest turned out to be none other than Otho Bullet Britt. But James Lightning Bennett, who is so fast it is reputed he can turn out the light and get in the bed before it is dark, was a close second in the betting. The dark horse in the race was Carlton Prather who is so swift he is generally known as the little man who wasn ' t there. From the gym they started each with an enthusiastic supporter on his arm. The time taken up in getting to the starting point was spent in jockeying for a chqice position. As they had to go to the other side of town to get started they all seemed to get nervous. ( I don ' t blame ' em) . For at this moment Ben- nett jumped the gun, tech- nically speaking. But from all authentic reports he jumped the yard fence, the ditch, and sun- dry obstacles that lay between him and safety ( I mean the finish line). While Lightning was evacuating that part of Scooba, Britt and Prather were using this time to say a last farewell to their devoted fol- lowers. At the sound of the umpire ' s gun (or was it guns?) the two remaining contestants sped into action. Realizing during the first one hundred yards that the referee was using something besides blank shells, they forgot about glory of win- ning the race and headed for parts unknown. As these small persuaders began dropping around them, the race then and there became a local version of the non-stop flight to Paris. Our foreign correspondents re- ported them passing through Macon ten minutes later. No prizes could be awarded, be- cause the contestants could not be located for a week after- wards. SOCIAL CIRCLE HOLDS COFFEE PARTY Messrs. William Brown, J. W. Richardson, and Grady Col- lins continued to confine the social spotlight this week to their room, where they held another get-together of the in- famous Coffee Club. Spat Brown acted as host and fav- ored as guests, besides mem- bers, Donovan McKee and Quack Weaver. A delightful tete-a-tete was enjoyed while the host served the ruffians dainty refreshments (sardines and crackers) with coffee. And what coffee! Richardson was asked to give the secret form- ula for this wonderful brew, and he modestly recited the following recipe. Take a hand- ful of coffee, wrap in an old towel (that explains the won- derful aroma), and insert in a half-gallon bucket of boiling water. Cover with a Sears Roebuck Catalogue (that gives it that Maxwell House taste), and let simmer until one hand of poker is played. After this bit of information was assimi- lated, favorite recipes were ex- changed and then the group adjourned. RUMOR BECOMES A REALITY IN SURPRISE WEDDING The marriage of Miss Omera Warren, daughter of Mrs. L. C. Warren of Damascus, to Mr. Leslie Dodson of Columbus has proven of much interest here. This much-publicized union took place at the local brush arbor meeting, at ten o ' clock, Saturday night. The bride ar- rived with a lantern and her shoes under one arm and her prospective husband clinging to the other. There were but fifty-seven people present, as only the immediate families at- tended. It was a simple single ring ceremony before an improvised altar, blanked with greenery of various hues, against which stood flower baskets of wild honeysuckles. After appropriate tears were shed, the bride was given away, and the couple was wished a very happy honey- moon and a prosperous crop year. Immediately following the ceremony the bridal party buggied to Damascus, where the bride ' s sister, Sue, held open house in their honor.

LIARS ' CLUB IS ORGAN- IZED IN ROOM NO. 3 Twenty-five lovers of tall tales met in the home of J. R. Weaver (Cell No. 3) Thurs- day afternoon and enjoyed a forum in which they discussed their hobby. That genial gen- tleman of ceremonies, George Cain, was the feature speaker. He, an authority on the sub- ject, gave the history of How the Truth is Made Flexible, and the group discussed many side lights in connection with it. This was the first formal meeting of its kind held at E. M.J.C, but those who at- tended it feel that it was so worthwhile that many more gatherings will probably be held in the future.
