cJhe JLton — ig 3 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF THE EAST MISSISSIPPI JUNIOR COLLEGE SCOOBA, MISSISSIPPI Copyright 1943 CO-EDITORS WINIFRED HAMRICK HAROLD FARRAR BUSINESS MANAGER BROWN BRIGGS @refc ace All the activities of man are divided into two large divisions — work and play. This fact is apparent in our school life, for we may classify all that we do either as curricula or extra-curricula. We feel that one division supplements the other and that the well-rounded college life must include active participation in each. With this in mind, we have divided our annual into two distinct sections — curricular and extra curricular. The theme of the 1943 LION is Holding higher the torch of learning, and its purpose is to stress the importance of higher education in war-time. Higher education means the thorough application of our time, skill, and energy in the classroom, coupled with diversion in the various clubs and student organi- zations. By placing proper emphasis on each, we hope to be able to create a clear picture of the college year that will be of value to you in the years to come. mi in LOedii tcatton We, the members of the annual staff, as a visible evidence of our appreciation of one who has furnished us with inspiration, made us conscio us of the highest values, and given us nobler aims, dedicate this edition of the LION to Miss Loris Shipman. Because we have had the privilege of knowing her and being influenced by her great life, we are proud to say with Tennyson that We are a part of all that we have met. •V ' C on tents Curricular Page 5 Administration Page 6 Classes Page 1 1 Extra-Curricular Page 25 Features Page 27 Organizations Page 39 Sports Page 53 ' iV CURKICULAR [Board of cJrustees KEMPER COUNTY Supt.

It is one indication that the students of this institution are thinking about the essential things of life. As we come to the close of this session I want to thank the members of the student body for their fine cooperation and for the splendid attitude maintained throughout this year. We have labored this session under the most trying conditions ever to face a student body but you have pursued your task each day with a determination to accomplish that which you set out to do at the beginning of this year. As I write this the Reserves of our student body are leaving to be inducted into the Armed Forces of the United States. I know that they will go forth with the same determination to make good in the Army as they have in this school. There are other members of the student body who will never have the opportunity to be inducted into the Armed Forces of their country but each, I am sure, will do his best in Civilian Life to bring victory for the American Cause. Education has been the vital force that has made America what it is today. Our forefathers handed down to us the rights and opportunities that we enjoy and I have every assurance that the students of the East Mississippi Junior College will make whatever sacrifices necessary to protect these rights and liberties for future generations.

Its purpose — to fix the attention of students on the underlying principles of world conditions — has been carried out during the year by meetings held twice a month at which members join in round-table discussions of latest world developments. The annual banquet, carrying out a Washington ' s Birthday theme, was one of the most outstanding activities of the Club this year. The greatest work of the Club has been the selling of war stamps and bonds. 41 Evelyn Avery, Frances Baggett, Vivian Ballard, Eugenia Bounds, Leroy Cosby, Madie Duett, Woodie Evans, Harold Farrar, Walker Guerry, Winifred Hamrick, Ella Hudnall, Bonnie Lambert, Benford Luke, Janelle Patey, James Peters, Annie Stone Robinson, Kathleen Shaw, Irene Shearer, Minetta Shearer, Jo Snider, Jean Spikes, Joyce Taylor, Bettye Warnock, Homer Watkins, Rufina Watkins, and Elizabeth Wiygul.

Not only does the Club endeavor to develop whatever dramatic talents — whether as directors, stage managers, electricians, or actors — the membership may have, but it also helps the student body as a whole, before which all performances are given, to become more appreciative of the qualities of good drama. The climax of the year ' s activities was a one-act folk comedy, Cottie Mourns. 42 1 ♦ Thomas Adams, Mildred Baucum, Bennye Bethany, Carolyn Bishop, Brown Briggs, Willie Ethyl Bryan, Mildred Cade, Sue Clark, Annie Hope Dulaney, Helen Enzor, Don Edwards, Mable Claire George, Jesse Gregg, Willie B.

It provides an opportunity for its members who are intensely interested in this school subject — which steadily grows more important — to improve their manipu- lative skill, perform experiments which are not prescribed by the regular laboratory manual, and become better informed on modern scientific developments. The Scientific Research Club meets bi-monthly with Miss Lottie Cooper as the sponsor. 45 OFFICERS President Harold Farrar Vice-president Joyce Taylor Secretary-Treasurer Mildred Cade Program Chairman Rufina Watkins [Baptist cJraintng Linton The Baptist Training Union resumed its activities at the begin- ning of the school session with definite objectives. One purpose was to develop the quality of church leadership among the students in order that they might be fitted to lead in church organizations. Through the study of Christ and his teachings, members of the B.T.U. have striven to exemplify Christ in their daily activities and measure up to His standards of life. The B.T.U. is one of the factors on the college campus that has contributed directly to a spiritual influence.

Nutrition for De- fense was accepted as the theme of the club.

QJootoatl Although we cannot claim a wholly victorious season from the standpoint of scores, we can claim victory won by the spirit of the cooperation and good sportsmanship our boys have displayed. We are proud of them. They have won recognition as players who have fought hard; ones with ability to lose without becoming discouraged and ability to win with an humble spirit. Much credit for the fine spirit of the players goes to coach Childres who has given his best of time and effort to the players. 54 K heerleadi ers MILDRED CADE CLAUDIA TUCKER Qjootbatl ueen MARJORIE TEMPLE SPONSORS Eleanor Richards, Ila Ree Odom, Patte Evans NOT PICTURED Evelyn Bryan, Joyce Harper, Frances Brown, Evelyn Culpepper, Marie Agnew, Catherine Cronan, Norma Parmer. 55 Ujasketbaii cJeam i rotip [Picture W€-: LEFT TO RIGHT: Joe Hicks, Manager; Lamar Wells, Roger Duncan, Howard Cook, Coach Childres, Leroy Cosby, Willie B.
