Soon we ' ll be looking at our Annual and think- ing of the varied experiences that we have had this session. Perhaps, this session has been different from any other school year any of us have experienced. Since the beginning of the session Japan has attacked the United States and has killed many of our soldiers. Germany has also gone to war against us. Some of our students have been called into the Armed Ser- vice of our Nation. Many of you have experi- enced tragedies in your homes caused by the war. I want to congratulate you on the morale that you have maintained under these trying conditions. You have shown the true American Spirit in that you have practiced self-control. You have attacked your problems in this school in a manner that deserves praise in the highest degree. 1 believe in the future of America because I believe in you. With citizens of your type our country cannot fail. Your friend, J. M. Tubb trustee: Cowvry IV- SVp T- w r „ Cot,w ry • ft fcfccoy op a - pib DeKA .Mms. « « a£CTWc s. M7Ss ' CE - BUSH m UKS.

Since that time we have served faithfully and untiringly. Together with the efficient guidance of the teachers and our determination, we have accomplished oar tasks; and the doors which opened to welcome us now stand ajar for our exit. Our carefree school-day memories shall never fade; they will always remain as a priceless gem. Even though words can not express our love for our many new friends nor our appreciation for the many kind deeds done in our behalf, in our hearts we do give thanks. With the coming of graduation, we realize that we have completed another phase of our life, that tomorrow will be a new day. Before us lie vast expecta- tions, unknown experiences, and new hopes. As we leave this beloved institu- tion, each of us will remember that With the ropes of the past, we ' ll ring the bells of the future. 10 DOROTHY ABERNATHY A.A.

We were thrilled to take our places even below the mighty Sophomores. We looked forward to Homecoming and Freshman Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Holidays, and finally the day we might say, I ' m a Sophomore. We found that the tiny things which we feared at first were merely imaginations and that college life was really fun. Our first year, memories — pleasant memories — fill our minds and we look forward to the coming year as being just as pleasant, as happy and as profitable as this one has been. 17 LLOYD ADAMS SCOOBA, MISSISSIPPI TODD AGNEW BALDWYN, MISSISSIPPI BLUFORD ALLEN BOONEVILLE, MISSISSIPPI A.

The Christian Endeavor is composed of Pres- byterian students. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to promote Christian ideals and fellow- ships about the campus. The president of this group attended the Young People ' s Conference at Tupelo, while members attended at Shuqulak. THESPIAN CLU President HAROLD TOMPKINS Vice President TODD AGNEW Secretary and Treasurer MILDRED B AUCUM Reporter MYRL WILEMON The Dramatic Club, the largest club on the campus, has furnished another year ' s work successfully. It has functioned for the enjoyment and inspiration of the entire student body, not reserving its entertaining presentations for the members alone. It has followed the same plan for progress that it used last year. Directors, stage managers, electricians, and actors were elected from the club for each production. In this way nearly all of the students interested in dramatics had an opportunity to use and to develop the most evident talent. Miss Loris Shipman, the sponsor, worked earnestly with a co-operative group who comprised the Little Theatre. Since none of the other Junior Colleges wished to participate in the annual inter-college contest, this group did not compete with any other dramatic organization. The two plays, however, were presented in the college auditorium on March 27. The members of the casts proved to the satisfaction of everyone their worthiness of being called actors and actresses. 37 38 M . l|| tV: tfc ii m 39 MISS E. M. J. C. ONETA PEARCE MR. E. M. J. C.

FOOTBALL As we thumb through the pages of our 41-42 annual, we linger with pleasant memories of our football sguad. With only three regulars and one reserve back from the 40-41 sguad and with only a few boys that had had experience in football, the Scooba Lions playing a fighting brand of football all the way, gave a good account of themselves in every game. With fond thoughts we recall the praises received by each boy for his fighting spirit and fine sportsman- ship that was shown in each game. The boys all played the game for the love of it and always showed the finest spirit toward practices. We smile with pleasure to remember those hot practices and we are very proud of the fact that during the entire season we had only one boy miss only one day of practicing and that was due to sickness. Although our scores were not always as we would have had them, every boy won a vic- tory in the knowledge that he had given his all for his team and for his school. In the past, and only, season that Coach Childres has been with us, he has not only made an outstanding name in his profession, but he has won the admiration of all coaches and play- ers. Coach Childres was not only admired for his work with athletics, but also his religious attitude was felt deeply. Nobody has ever heard him speak unkindly of another — either friend or foe. It can be truly said that his teams showed more sportsmanship than any other team. 50 LAMAR WELLS End JOHN BARRETT Half Back WALLACE BARBEE Half Back JAMES BURDEN Tackle JOE HICKS Tackle JAMES VICKERS Tackle CARROL RUSH Tackle VICTOR GRUSHESKY End ANDREW THRONBURG Full Back HAL JOHNSON End BERTRON MILES Center MECK MURPHY Tackle JESSE GREGG Guard CLINTON LOCKLEY Center HOWARD COOK End JOE CLARK Guard CARL RUSHING ' Blocking Back RALPH EDWARDS Half Back BILL DUNCAN End W.

Although throughout the season we played a steady brand of ball with occasional flashes of brilliance we were chssed from the score book standpoint as not even a mediocre assort- ment of players. Being host to the Junior College tournament gave us the chance to prove whether we were really a ball team or just an also played team. We upset t he dope the first night by pushing past Poplarville, the leading contender for State Championship, 33-40. Play- ing an inspired game of ball in the semi-finals we romped ' round Raymond 36-30. Fighting an uphill battle, the next night, we were all the way destined to become the second best team in the conference for two successive years. We lost, incidentally, in the finals 42-36. We love to think and still believe we would have the winners ' trophy had we not lost our sharp shooting forward Ben Gaun. An outstanding player all season and unanimous choice for All State first team center was lanky Wild Bill Duncan, scoring 303 points in the regular season and tallying 53 in the tournament. Going one better than we did last year we had an All State Guard in the form of Haze Akins whose slogan was He can ' t score if you don ' t let him shoot, and he proved it throughout the season. Our three other starters received honorable mention for their outstand- ing performances.
