To what extent we have succeeded is left for you to say. We have tried to depict the spirit and ideals of our Alma Mater by giving every organization that we maintain our careful and sympathetic consideration. To some we may have failed, but we have done our best. And if, in future years, you are able to re-live the memory of the year 1927, because of this Annual, the efforts we have put forth in this the first volume of The Hindsonian will not have been in vain. Pace Four The Hindsonian 27 lie Meat tun To the people of Hinds county — whose inordinate devotion to the cause of humanity has prompted them to create unbounded educational facilities; whose foresight and cooperation have pro- duced a wonderful elevation in the morality of youth; whose vision is a model human society composed of enlightened men and women — as a limited expression of illimitable gratitude, we dedicate this, the first volume of TlIE HlNDSONIAN. , ■a xe rive ' The Hindsonian ' 27 Contents Campus Classes Features Athletics Activities Glimpses of 1927 ' ' College Humor Page Six The Hindsonian ' 27 (Ha in pus Page Seven =.

Mary is undoubtedly one of the best loved girls in school. As a student she leaves an enviable record. As a Christian worker she is unexcelled, and as a friend she has no equal. During her ca- reer here she has been a potent factor in shaping the ideals of those who have come in contact with her. The hearts of the entire school go out with Mary wherever she may go.

Robert came to us in the fall of ' 25. a freshman from Louisiana. With his pleasing personality and stately manners he has won the regards of all who know him. He is a hard worker and a most deserving student. With the ambition which he possesses, nothing but success awaits his fut- ure undertakings. Flavus Bunyard Swindoll. Raymond, Miss. B. Y. P. U.

Town Club. None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise. Lois has won the admiration and respect of the student body, for she not only studies and en- joys her work, but always has time to lend a helping hand in any of the college activities. Dan Williams Terry, Miss. He says I will; for he knows he can, He looks for the best in every man. Dan is the type of fellow that we must know in order to appreciate him fully. He is studious, energetic and friendly to everybody. With such qualities as these Dan cannot fail to succeed in his chosen profession. The future holds much in store for him. John C. Williams Terry, Miss. If ivords are too weak, there is nothing to gain, But if words are too poor, they would praise him in vain. John C. ' s motto evidently has been, What ' s worth doing is worth doing well, for he cer- tainly has done well while here. Few men have the diligence and persistence of John C, and if this same persistence is continued in his profes- sion, his reward is certain. We wish for him the best. Leroy Williams ... Learned, Miss. A hard worker whom difficulties never daunt. Leave it to Leroy! An all-around man of merit in the fields of Journalism, Romance and Politics, often reconciling the three with remark- able success. The scope of his activities is the most convincing evidence of his ability. Page Twenty-four The H i n d s o n i a n ' 27 (Elass piston) is We, the class of ' 27, have played our part. Two long and weary years have we labored earnestly to be the first college grad- uates of our Junior College, only to realize in the end that the most is yet to be learned. We know that we have only scratched the sur- face, for two more years of incessant toil await each one of us in a Senior College of our choice. Yet, it is with pride and pleasure that we look back over our past days spent amid the haunts of Hinds Junior College. In the fall of 1925, we embarked on our Freshman year. We were a famous thirty. Our leaders were: Alden McNair, President; Ira Mae Vine. Vice-President; and Audrey Blocksom, Secretary- Treasurer. Unfortunately our president left us after a few weeks, but Ira Mae assumed his responsibility and made for us an untiring and efficient officer. Without any other mishap our Freshman year came to a successful end. With the beginning of our Senior year we found many absent faces and many new ones, but the new ones soon became familiar in the struggle with American History, English and other trials. With a few Senior privileges we have passed the year happily. Staunch leaders were needed, and those who had the honor of seeing us through were: Mary Brown, President; Jake McCaleb, Vice-Presi- dent; and Audrey Blocksom, Secretary-Treasurer. Too much can- not be said of their loyalty and stickability. In conclusion, we have a right to be proud, conceited and ego- tistic about our two years. They have sown seed of which we all shall reap the harvest. It was we who furnished some of the star players on both the girls 1 and boys ' basket ball teams. It was our class which gave the high school seniors a close race in the Inter- Class Field Meet. Our efforts have produced results, and each one of us is proud of the other for making these two vears a success for all. Lois Weems.

The Freshmen are the greatest class That Raymond ' s ever seen And even though they ' re Freshmen They are not very green. Their men won fame in foot-ball, In track, and basket-ball And for their great athletic powers Are honored in the ball. Their maidens all are very fair, Far past all other girls; They have faces strangely beautiful, And most bewitching curls. The Freshmen are great scholars, They all rank ninety-nine; They ' ve never had a failure In any sort of line. They wish the Sophomore grand success, In their attempts next year, But we ' ll be happier here in school Than they in theirs, we fear. So Sophomore, do not worry, As you bid farewell to school ; For things will be run wisely Under the Freshman rule. V Page Thirty The Hindsonian ' 27 J.C. FARRWl FRESIDBMiT vice.

J o6 ? % M Page Thirty-four , ' The Hindsonian ' 27 freshman Ittstari) m « The fall of ' 26 was the most glorious season in the history of this institution, for there entered into these halls of learning the most brilliant group of intellectuals who were ever incorporated into a Freshman class. The history of this extraordinary body during the last session is one of the few redeeming phases of the otherwise com- monplace trend of modern affairs. Indeed we are certain that no one could fail to appreciate the indomitable will with which these ambitious scholars have gone about fulfilling the various requisitions of Wisdom. However, little we boast our momen- tous achievements. As a candid historian. I am constrained by justice to say that it was only through profound sense of modesty that we adopted the motto : Green but still growing. In athletics, our class, though valiantly opposed, has gone down in defeat very few times. No names occur so frequently on the list of varsity athletics as those Freshmen who have entered the gridiron, the court, the course, and the diamond, and no Freshman has entered the lists without acquitting himself honorably with the glorious task of defending his Alma Mater. What we particularly boast is having furnished five players to the girls ' basket-ball team which won State Championship. However, modestly non-committed as I am, I cannot refrain from speaking of the exceptional triumphs of our girls, whose talent in music- expression, and dra- matic art is of the highest order. As a manifestation of our generosity, it is our earn- est, though futile desire to bequeath to our successors some of the melody of those maiden givers of immortal song who have added music to our lives. Though still in the rudiments of the brilliant careers of those stamped with the impress of genius. Not less markedly triumphant is our work in the literary field. Emerging late from the bewilderment of the untutored mind, we are advancing slowly but surely into the realms of Pollas, where it is our aspiration at least to appreciate, if not to use, those wonderful powers of Wisdom in the light of which men have so far pro- gressed. The least I can do in this respect is to give a deeply felt invocation that the dulciana of this song of life might be commensurate to such a pleasant overture. The Freshmen proudly trust that no one in their ranks is indifferent to the cause of their present struggle and that one is constantly repeating, We come to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The pendulum is swinging now and soon will reach the end of its course, and the class of 1927 will have com- pleted its history at Hinds County Agricultural High School — a history made up of classes, hall games, plays, and parties, and mingled with these big things, the little friendships and intimate talks make High School worth while. We the class of 1927 distinctly remember the seventh of Sep- tember, 1923, when we started on our trip through high school. We collected a goodly amount of necessary baggage, in the way of bits of Geography, sections of Arithmetic, bunches of dates, fresh from the tree of History, packages of Civics, and a supply of Grammar. Each moreover had the required ticket — a certificate of promotion from the last Station, the Eighth grade. It came to pass that upon the Conductor ' s cry of all aboard we started out on the upgrade in the Train of Knowledge. We were given places in the Freshman section. At the end of the first year, having successfully met the requirements of Freshman pas- sengers, we were transferred to the Sophomore car. With the passing of time we were again shifted being placed in the Junior coach. Then came the happy day when the group was transferred to the Senior coach with increased privileges and responsibilities, and with Garnett Thompson as class president. The grade became steeper, the journey rougher, but ah, the glorious view as the class of 1927 looked out on Commencement Station looming in the near distance. These Senior passengers who had been companions during the long journey became even more closely united in school spirit and class bonds. We successfully passed the close inspection of the examiners who checked up on our baggage of Knowledge, and we now stand ready for a final transfer. At Commencement Station, on the Mount of Learning, we leave the Senior coach to become passengers on various roads leading through the Valley of Opportunity in the Land of the Great Beyond, to the cities of Success, Fame, and Worthy Achievement. It is our spirit, however, rather than tangible achievements, that makes us stand out even among our sister classes. There is in the class of ' 27, I think, a little more true comradeship and de- mocracy, and a little less social rivalry than in other classes; a lit- tle more kindly feeling and fellowship, and a little less cheering and yelling; a little more sincere interest in collegiate work and a Utile less love of grade and approbation; perhaps a bit more of serious- ness, but. withal, a whimsical sense of humor. L. BlSLAND. Page Forty-seven , The Hindsonian ' 27 Class Prophecy IB Last night as I sat alone in my study enjoying the twilight and my own most wonderful thoughts, I heard a soft rustling hehind me and, turning. I saw near my chair a queer little creature which I could not classify. It wasn ' t strictly humor and yet I had never he- fore in all my study of natural history seen any creature, even distantly, resembling it. Before I had time to ask the customary questions, when and where were you horn? Are you white or black? Single or married? What is your favorite breakfast food? , ' The strange visitor asked in a mighty voice, the first notes of which made me leap out of my chair, Are you the student who has been selected as the prophet of the class of Hinds A. H.S.? If you are, the creature went on quickly, before I had time to utter a word, I see by your looks that it is indeed necessary that I should help you. It was a wise act when I was sent to you ' Sent to me? I ejaculated, my curiosity overcoming my fear. By whom? Ah, said the shape, I perceive that you have not heard of the new movement among the curricula. The curricula? I repeated stupidly. Yes, was the quick reply, the curricula of all the schools in the United States. Then, I exclaimed, I suppose you are a curriculum? Of course, I see you know a little Latin, was the angry reply, and the creature continued, We have united together to help the poor, overworked teachers and superintendents at commencement time. So I was detailed to assist you in a Prophecy for the Hinds graduating class. So here goes. First and foremost Essie Foster is to be president of the United States. Hold on, I exclaimed, don ' t you know that is a girl ' s name? What of it? was the retort, Now that women have the ballot, they ' ll soon relieve the men of the few duties which have been left them, and women presidents will be as common as queens. But I have no time to argue about this now. There is J. C. Johnson who will become the most famous cook in the whole, wide world. Page Forty-eight The Hindsonian ' 27 0, hold on, 1 exclaimed, you don ' t seem to have any idea of the significance of names. Where have you lived all your life not to know that J. C. is a boy ' s name? Of course, but if the girls are all presidents and other officials, the men will have to do the cooking, I reckon, unless you think we ' ll live without eating in these wonderful days. And now please don ' t interrupt me again, no matter what I may say. Bolivar Lee Suth- erland is to become a famous biologist and will discover some of nature ' s deepest secrets, for example, why an oyster isn ' t a tadpole, and similar never before solved problems. Shurlds Ward is to be an artistic milliner. Now don ' t tell me there are no men milliners. Perhaps there are none at present, but since the cubists and their ilk, realists and impressionalists will have destroyed art, the only outlet for a man ' s artistic nature must be in bonnets at one hundred dollars per, and there will be money in it at that, for the smaller the bonnet the bigger the price the more crazy women there will be to buy them. Olive Mixon will become an architect, and will design a tab- ernacle for Billy Sunday which will be the eighth wonder of the modern world. I said, all out of patience, You are getting crazy again — a woman architect? The creature answered sharply, Men ' s visions are too narrow. It will need a woman ' s breadth of thought, her airy visions. Go on. Who next? Garnett Thompson will run a large steam laundry in Chicago. A washwoman — with all his talents! I groaned. Elbert Clements will sell buggy whips in Detroit. Why Detroit? I asked. Because there are no horses there. Dimple Lott will be a railroad president. She will hunt up a truly domestic man for her mate and thev will live in everlasting bliss. The prophetic creature talked on, We see Cecil Allen and Paul Butler as college professors; Dora Belle Hill, Sadye Hammack, Ozwell Kitchens, Charles Stubbs, Ruben Robinson, and Evan Cun- ningham as principals and teachers. Ouida Houston and Louise Bisland are to become physicians, with an ever-growing fondness to Page Forty-nine The Hindsonian ' 27 preside at the removal of appendixes and other bothersome organs. Hampton King, who was fond of drawing likenesses of the faculty, is to win fame as an artist ; Lester Strong will be sent as an envoy to Chili, while Milton Cox, the inventor, will retire early, firmly en- trenched on Easy street by the sale of his patent step-ladder which is warranted never to kick-up and throw an innocent climber. Leneve Gibbes will be satisfied to rule as mayor of her city, but Johnnie Drennan. always looking towards big game, will take his seat in the house of representatives and orate with the best of them. Nancy Mackie, one of the cleverest essayists in the old high school days, is to write a ' History of the Achievements of the Class of 1927, ' ' which will have an enormous sale. Mildred Noble, Ethel O ' Brien, and Helen Barksdale will eventually become happy widows who have all sorts of good time on the money left by their accommo- dating, departed, weaker-halves. To Ella Wheeler Edwards belongs the distinction of being the class spinster, but because no man measured up to her high ideals. Nolon Fortenberry and Frank Thompson are part of the backbone of the country — for if good farmers are not the country ' s backbone, tell me what is. Lynn Webb married our capable Mary Frances Murphree. Here also are Cresslyn Richardson and Kent Badeau, who will win much notice as Chau- tauqua speakers; Enos Abernathy, who will be a famous cartoonist for leading city dailies; and Charlie Reeves and Leonard Wilkinson will become rulers of the world according to the line which says, ' the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. ' They are happily married and well supported. 0, you mix me up so dreadfully; I think I could have done better myself. But now, how about my good fortune? Alas, that is too sad to relate, the creature said with a wink and a grimace, and in another moment I was alone in the twilight. Page Fifly The HindsoniAn ' 27 Glass Will IS The Senior Class of the Hinds County Agricultural High School has felt that school was beginning to disagree with us and that the members of the faculty had conspired to accomplish the death of the most astonishingly brilliant class the walls of Hinds High and the teachers thereof have ever frowned upon. Therefore, we being collectively of a sound mind and having the fear of no human being before its eyes, save that of Professor Madden and Superintendent Sutherland, do hereby will and bequeath — To the Junior Class, as our rightful and worthy successors: (a) All our laughs and giggles, unsolved puzzles, tardy and absent marks, all unchewed gum, apple cores and cold lunches, all the foot-, basket- and baseball scores, all the broken jack knives and unsharpened lead pencils, half-filled note books and all other un- claimed properties of no value whatever. I b ) Our seats. Occupy them but do not try to fill them. (c) Our Senior dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to overcome their usual hair-brained and frivolous flippancy. (d) Our tendency to make a little knowledge go a long way in the classroom; also our ability to throw faculty members off the trail when they imagine we are bluffing, and our power to see through mill stone. (e) Lastly, that which gives us the greatest pang to part with — our strongly entrenched places in the hearts of the faculty who have loved us devotedly because they couldn ' t help it! Comfort them in their loss, but don ' t imagine you can mangle their hearts as we have done. Our Latin, French and Spanish pronunciation, which for its force and originality has never been surpassed, we will and bequeath to the students of the Freshman class, knowing that they will need it more than those of other classes; also we leave to them our good will and ability to persevere through all unfavorable circumstances. Our understanding and comprehension of Ancient, English and American history we consign to no one, but leave it hanging in the air, to be confiscated bv whomsoever deserves it. To the Sophomores we leave all our indifference to criticism and our sublime self-conceit. All these qualities we now feel we can get on without in the busy world into which we are entering. To the members of our beloved faculty, who look upon our demise with smiles of joy, we bequeath the satisfaction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from the weary task of making out graduation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for their depressing attempts to pound knowl- edge into our craniums. In addition, we bequeath them our regrets V Page Fifty-one The Hindsonian ' 27 that their work with us was so barren of results — we leave them, hul we don ' t leave them much. The following valuable personal bequests, freely and fully given, should be treasured as a continual reminder of the abundant and overwhelming generosity of the class and the individuals thereof. We trust these responsibilities will be assumed promptly and bring important results: 1 . Evan Cunningham leaves his quiet disposition to Anabel Hilbun; she needs it. 2. Mattie Belle Beavers bequeaths her Flapper Skirt to Nell Hartness. 3. To future class presidents, Garnett Thompson ' s power to preside with dignity that would do honor to a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. 4. Olive Mixon leaves to Eula McRight her ability to put on a fine complexion. Save the surface and you save all. 5. On Grace Crawdey we bestow Leneve Gibbes sunny smile — it won ' t come olf. 6. To Carl Bardin, Paul Butler leaves his powers to fasci- nation. Paul says he has a steady now and doesn ' t need further fascination. 7. Nancy Mackie leaves her ability to Paddle her own Canoe ' to Frances Linam; Nancy has selected some one to paddle hers for her. 8. To Charles Herring, Nolon Fortenberry leaves his ease in using long and high-faluting and impressive words. 9. Dora Belle Hill leaves her ability to acquire youth and beauty to Lois Murphree with the understanding that Lois promises to hold them. 10. To the business manager of the 192o Hindsonian, Elbert Clements leaves all his Annual importance and worries. Make use of them, buddy ! 11. Lynn Webb leaves his ability to capture any woman ' s heart to Coach McGowan. 12. To Ezra Moore, Bolivar Lee Sutherland bequeaths her red hair, as Ezra ' s does not collide with his complexion. 13. Leonard Wilkinson leaves to William Jennings Brien his book on How to Make Love -— if in doubt of its value and success, ask the one girl in the Delta. 14. Louise Bisland leaves her ability to be heard at all ball games to Ann McKeithen. 15. To Lillian Hays, Ouida Houston leaves her gift of Gab, as Lillian is badly in need of it, never having anything to say to any of her fellow schoolmates. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior Class, as and for its last will and testament, in the presence of us, in the presence of Miss Hamill, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said in- strument.

We had rather a superior air about us during this year, since we were the only high school class in this school. We would frequently glance back over our years spent in grammar school, thankful that the trials and tribulations of those years were past, but mindful, too, of the many happy hours we had spent. We entered our second year of high school at the dear ole A. H. S., a bit sor rowful to leave this little school where we felt so at home, although, we were delighted with the idea that we were in the big school, as we had always thought of it. That superior air. which we had manifetsed in our Freshman year, left us entirely, for this year instead of being the highest class in school as before, we were now the lowest. However, we proved to be a great class, and to verify this statement, I ' ll mention the Inter-class Field Meet where we won second place, breaking all previous records, since the baby class of this school had never before been honored with any place but last. Then, two outstanding athletes of the school from our class won first regional honors in tennis. Each year our class is steadily growing, and this year we are a large and happy group of Juniors expecting in the inter-class meet to retain our goo d record. We realize that each year we are coming just one step nearer the end of our high school days, but while we know we are progressing, it seems that we can never be anything but the baby class of the school. Last year we looked forward to the time when we could at least be superior to one class, but alas, the class that we might have lorded it over was transferred to the consolidated school and still we are the babies. But just think! Next year we will be dignified Seniors and our glorious high school days will be completed. F. LlNAM.

F. McGOWAN Coach George F. McGowan is a product of Mississippi A. and M. College. He played three years of Varsity football, re- ceiving his training under Coaches Hayes, Holtcamp and Noble. His standing in gridiron circles is expressed satisfac- torily when attention is called to the fact that in his three years of college football he was chosen as one of the backfield men on the mythical all-state team; was for two years on the all-Southern honor roll; and received honorable mention for the all-Southern selection. Coming to Raymond in 1923, Coach McGowan began to instill into his youthful proteges that same metal that he had exhibited in many a contest. Again his record is his best ad- vocate. In three years of high school coaching, he turned out one regional football championship team and two runner-up teams; one state championship baseball team and one runner- up team; and a basketball quintet that was a strong contender in Junior College circles in 1926-27. athletics, Coach has made himself felt as a leader of students, and is one of the most popular instructors on the faculty. GARNETT THOMPSON, Captain and Captain-Elect Captain Garnett Thompson began his football career in Daytonia. Florida, where he played one season on the Varsity squad of the city high school. He came to the Hinds A. H. S. in 1925, and promptly won a berth at left end of the Aggie squad of that year. Elected to captain the 1926 Aggies, he again filled his old position at the left terminal. Indeed, so satisfactorily did he acquit himself, in the opinion of his team- mates, that he was re-elected captain of the team for the coming year — an honor that was never before conferred upon an athlete of the Raymond institution. Not only an athlete, Garnett ' s studious inclination, cheer- ful attention to duty, and gentlemanly bearing make him one of the most popular young men on the campus — with both teachers and fellow students. MISS MAUDE WYNN, Sponsor The most important player on the team plays all posi- tions on the team with composure. All-around selection of ' 26, she has knocked more men cold in her time than Solly Cohen of Ole Miss. Her only fault is breaking training by eating dill pickles, and drinking Coca-Colas. She is a good basketball player as well as a football star. For two years she has played the position of guard on the team, and served as captain of the ' 25 team. As a basketball player, her playing is hard to excel by any in the state. She is expected to re- turn to the Aggies for another successful season in both foot- ball and basketball. . Page Sixty-two ' The Hindsonian ' 27 o a A — — w JUMPING into a Junior College Association with only six letter men back from the past season. Coach McGowan began to work and form a football squad using the six letter men as a sort of nuceleus to work around. Quite a discouraging thing for a coach to begin forming a team from so much new material to work on. For a while it looked a bit discouraging, but the men were used to different coaching and methods. After a week or so of practicing and playing together, the team began to show form. The team played the Port Gibson College in the opening game, beating them by the score of 18 to 6. They showed quite a bit of team-work, but were not at their best. The next game was with Scott County A. H. S. This was a real football game, both teams being at their best. The score was 0-0 until the last of the fourth quarter, when Scott slipped over a touchdown beating by a score of 6-0. The next game was with the Mississippi Freshmen, whose team was too experi- enced and heavy for the Aggies, beating bv several points. The Dummies proved no match for the Aggies, losing by the score 33-0. In the Millsaps and Poplarville games, the Aggies put up a gallant fight, but were again overcome by experience and weight. The team was showing improvement throughout the season, but were handicapped by the loss of several players on account of injuries, Cox haviffg a twisted knee, Richardson a bad arm, Griffin a sprained ankle and several others with minor in- juries that prevented their best playing. The closing game was with Perkinston, and it was a pleasing sight to the Aggie backers, even though they lost by the close score of 6-3. Perkinston expected a walk away victory, but were much amazed and disappointed, they being one of the strong- est teams that our team met. The game was a thriller all the way through, being hard and clean fought to the very end. A pass was slipped over on the Aggies in the last hal f of the second quarter giving Perkinston a 6-0 lead. The battle waged for some time until Butler placed a neat field goal, putting the score 6-3. The team could not overcome that three point lead, but they were marching downfield when the final whistle blew. Although a defeat, the team was enthusiastic over the method of foot- ball played. It showed that they did have the ability and fight that makes a foot- ball team. For fight and determination, no lighter team has ever worn the Red and White for Raymond. Jumping from a high school brand of football into a Junior College brand is quite a jump. Under the command of George McGowan. and the majority of letter men back, the Hinds Junior College is going to make its place in Junior College football next season. Paire Sixtv-three ' The Hindsonian ' 27 V Cecil Allen — Left Tackle. Allen, a Raymond product, completed his second season with the team in great form. His steady work and all-round playing was a great factor in every game. Much is expected of Allen during his next two years with us. Carroll Wright — Center. Little Home. brother of Captain Lance Wright of the squad of ' 25. prom- ises to be as good as his brother. Wright played his first year of football with Raymond, which wound up with a great end. Against Perkinston Aggies. Wright made seven consecutive tackles, also being the star of the game. He is from Learned. Cresslyn Richardson — Right Half. Rich ' is one of the fastest backs that ever wore the Red and White for the Aggies. He is a good back in all departments of the game, being fast and a hard hitter. This is his first year at football, but he has two years remaining with the Aggies. Rich is from Bolton. Joe Griffin — Fullback. Bugger hails from Jackson, ending his second year with the team, playing through the entire season with injuries sustained in scrimmage. He is good in both offensive and defensive work, and can always be relied on for a gain. In (he last two games his defensive ability won him wide recogni- tion. He has two more years with the Aggies. Milton Cox — Left Half. This fast, hard hitting halfback from Flora finished his first year with Ray- mond with the honor of having carried the ball more than any of his team- mates. Cox has all the requirements of a good back in speed, line plunges and broken field running. An injured knee prevented him participating in the last two games. He has two remaining years with Raymond. Freddie Hoff — Right End. Hoff finished his first season with a good record. He is a dependable player, and an earnest worker with the grit and determination. He showed his best form and fighting ability in the last game of the season against Perk- inston Aggies. Hoff is from Washington, and has one more year with Raymond. Edwin McCormick — Right Tackle. Red was the mainstay in the Raymond line this season. Big Red was a great defensive coverer and a man that could be depended on to open up holes in the opposing line. He was a continual source of worry to the enemy. Red is from Heidelberg. Elbert Clements — Quarter. Clements is another Jackson boy that finished the season with Raymond. Clements is a good, heady quarterback and field general. His ability to carry the ball was a great factor to the Aggies. He was a hard scrapper, and a man that could be depended upon to do his best under the circum- stances. Clements has two remaining years at Raymond. Carl Bardin — Right Guard. Bardin, another one of our mainstays, comes from Flora. Bardin ' s work at guard was even greater than his work on the ' 25 team. He is a power at driving, and at opening up the gaps. He was a player that could be relied upon to do his part al any time. Page Sixty-four The H i n d s o n i a n ' 27 Jack Johnson — Left Guard. Jack is one of the tnosl consistent workers on llie squad and played reg- ularly throughout the season. He handled his opponents without sustain- ing an injury. His hest performance was in the game against G. C. M. A. Jack is from Cohay and will be back next year to strengthen t he Red and White line. Kermit Hood — Guard. Big Hood was a power in the line. He was one of these easy-going fellows, but as hard to move as a building. This being Hood ' s first year at football made it a bit hard at first, but from the ability he has shown during the past season is a sure sign that he is going to make a valued player with Raymond next season. James Bunyard — Half Back. Jimmie came from Camden A. H. S. to try his hand with the Raymond grid- ders. He is a fleet little half, and shifty on his feet. His pass-work was pleasing to the eye. He completely outclassed any passers that the team went up against during the season. Jimmie returns to the Aggies next year to strengthen the back field. Marvin Fairchilds — Quarter. This is Marvin ' s second year on the squad. He is a heady little quarter, using good judgment in all stages of the game. As a hard working and consistent player. Marvin can ' t be heat. As a quarterback, he has good promises for future honors. He is from Jackson and lacks three more years. Arthur Strong — Half Back. Strong was out of football last year on account of a broken nose, but did his part on tin? year ' s team. He is a fleet back and demonstrated this on several occasions. Strong is a power on line plunges. With only one more year with the Aggies, Strong is expected to make a versatile player. Strong is from litica. Paul Butler — Half Back. Butler, from Booneville, played the season with the squad. Starting late in the season, he won his letter mainly by his toe, doing the majority of the kicking for the team. He demonstrated his ability with his toe in the last game of the season. Butler is expected to return for two more years. Reggie Buckley — Fullback. Buck returned to the Aggie squad after an absence of three years. Start- ing late in the season. Buck did excellent work. His defensive ability was a figure in every game he played. Buck expects to go to Ole Miss. James Brent — Tackle. Husky Brent comes from the Hill City. Brent is a strong piece of line machinery with the necessary drive. This being Brent ' s first year at foot- ball, he is to return tu the Aggies next year and show just what he can do. Sheldon Fortenberry — Right End. This towering end was in every game with the old fight and spirit. He factored in quite a bit of the passwork that was done by the team. When it came to tackling, Fortenberry was right there with the dr ive. He had the name of being the deadliest tackier on the squad. Injuries prevented him from being at his best in the last game. He is from Canton. Page Sixty-five , ' The Hindsonian ' 27 till PERKINSTON-RAYMOND GAME.— From Clarion-Ledger. Staging one of the greatest come-backs in gridiron history, and playing their opponents to a standstill, the Raymond Aggies lost to the team from Perkinston A. H. S. by the close score of 6-3. The Perkinston lads beginning with the memory of tying the G. C. M. A. grid- ders, a team which defeated the local huskies by a matter of several points, invaded the Raymond campus confident that they would triumph over their opponents in an easy manner. They return to their home territory as dejected denizens to a city of misery, bewildered, amazed and unable to understand a bare victory by a three-point margin. The Perkinston team started the game with a rush, carrying the ball down the field in successive line plunges until they were finally halted on the ten yard line. The battling waged back and forth from here throughout the first half. The visitors came back in the second half with a driving line attack. The ball was carried to Raymond ' s forty yard line. MacManus of Perkinston passed to Moore who carried the ball over Raymond ' s goal line. Score 6 to in Perkinston ' s favor. The local huskies started out after this score with reserved power and a few successive runs by Richardson and Bunyard placed the Aggies within the thirty yard line where Butler, Aggie halfback, booted a perfect goal from field. Score 6-3. The visitors came again the final quarter when they worked the ball down the field to the one yard line. The Aggie line proved immovable, however, and the charging Perkinston backfield was held for four successive downs. The Aggies punted out of danger, and regaining possession of the ball were on a steady march toward the Perkinston goal when the final whistle sounded. The Raymond team exhibited better form by far in this game than they have shown this season, playing their opponents to a stand- still the entire game and even outplaying them in some stages of the game. This game is the best game the local eleven has played. They demonstrated their real strength in every department of the contest. Outstanding men for Raymond were Wright at center, Griffin at fullback, and McCormick at tackle. Page Sixty-six ' The Hindsonian ' 27 BASKETBALL IN ' 27 The team that represented Raymond through t he season of 26- , 27 proved to he one of the fastest and strongest teams that ever represented this school. In the Junior College Association, the team had a good standing, winning about as many games as they lost. Ex-Captain Strong and Ward were the only letter men back from last year ' s basketball machine, but the new prospects were experienced and the team soon rounded into form. Magee was elegible under the Junior College ruling, and he proved to be one of the best performers on the court as he was fast and a consistent worker. Kitchens proved best at center and played steadily throughout the season, getting the tip-off on his opponent in nearly every game. Wright and Farrar played regular as guards, and Magee and ex-Captain Strong held down the forward posi- tions. Lester Strong and Brady always put up a good performance and fight when they were in the game. Strong, Magee and Farrar had a slight edge on their teammates in speed. For all-round playing and hard work the team always did their part individual 1 v. The cooperation of each throughout the year was the secret of their success as a team. The team made a very commendable record, and an excellent one to be made up entirely of new men who had not played together before. The team as a whole, always turned in a good performance in every game, whether they won or lost. With the same men coming back next year, it means, look out, Junior College Basketball pennant. .

Captain, Sprints Track at Raymond has always had a large following, and some of the best men in the state have been developed here. Such men as Sale Lilly, Tite Lilly, and Rogers, who are making a success in college track, were developed by McGowan. The Raymond track teams have more than won their share of honors. Raymond has been the athletic part of the middle Mississippi region for three consecutive years. In the regional meet of ' 24, Raymond won ten first places out of thirteen, and winning three places in the state meet including the mile relay. In ' 25 Raymond took twelve first places in the region and one in the state meet. In ' 26 won seven first places in the region and the state relay again. The Raymond relays have been very successful, winning five out of the last six starts. These records show the supremacy of the Aggie cinder path performers in the region, and their showing in the state meets. The track team of ' 26 under the captaincy of Richardson proved almost as suc- cessful as the 25 team, losing only a few first places in the region and again bringing home the state relay banner. Kimbrough proved the best performer for Raymond, winning first places in the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard dash in the region and running in the state relay. With all letter men back except Kimbrough, and with several new prospects the team began preparation for the Junior College Association track meet. In this meet Raymond again proved successful, Richardson winning first place in the shot put, Cox first place in the broad jump, Griffin first place in the 880-yard run and second place in the mile run, Strong second place in the 100-yard dash, and Thomp- son first place in the 140-yard dash. Page Sixty-eight ' The Hindsonian ' 27 ■ STATE RELAY CHAMPIONS OF 1926 The relay has always been highly prized as a track event by Raymond, because it takes co-operation and team work to produce a winning relay team. The relay is a track team in itself. Raymond is proud of the showing her relay teams have made, and takes pride in the fact. During the entire time that McGowan has been coaching for Raymond, the relays have been successful. Losing only one race in the state relays, and none in the re- gional relays, is his record. In ' 26 the Raymond relay team found no opposition in the region. In the state the team came within I 3-5 seconds of tieing the state record on the mile relay. The record probably would have been broken if the race had been on a dry track. In one of the prettiest races that ever was run in the state meets, the relay of ' 26 nosed ahead of Wesson for first place, winning by a matter of seconds. The men who ran in this relay were Captain Richardson, Strong, Kimbrough and Harvey. Raymond was forced to take a second place in the relay in the Junior College Association track meet in ' 27, due to the fact that Richardson was out on account of a bad foot, and the loss of Kimbrough caused the relay to miss first place. For the loss of first place in the relay, the team made up for it by winning the majority of first places in the rest of the track events. The men who ran in this relay were Har- vey, Cox, Farrar, and Thompson, Harvey being the only man who ran in the ' 26 championship team. V Page Sixty-nine J The Hindsonian ' 27 BASEBALL IN ' 27 Coach McGowan began the 1927 season with the most promising outlook since the season of ' 25. With five promising recruits back from last year ' s team, and with a large squad of new material to develop, the team ' s prospect looked very encouraging. One of the largest squads in many years reported to the first practice, Bates, Allen, Fairchild, Gillespie and Richardson being the five letter men back from last season. Shotwell, who has been with Raymond for several seasons, is back to strengthen the pitching staff. Shot was on the team of ' 24 that won championship in the state, and with the team of ' 25 that was runner-up for the state title, but lost to Amory by one run. The team has quite a record to shoot at if they expe ct to equal the playing of these teams. The pitching staff is composed of Shotwell, Reeves and But- ler. Butler and Reeves proved the best pitchers from the new material. Due to a bad hand, Clements was forced to quit the catching post. Bunyard replaced Clements at catching. The season opened with a series of games off of the campus. The first two games were with the State Teachers College at Hattiesburg. Bobo ' s nine proved too experienced for the Raymond team. Raymond dropped the first two games of the season to the Teachers. These games did not count as conference games. The next game was with Perkinston, the first conference game of the series. Raymond dropped this game to the Perkinston Bull Dogs. The team still had not shown their baseball prowess until they invaded the G. C. M. A campus, and carried off the two-game series, winning the first game 9-4, and the last game 8-7. The last of the series was with Poplarville Junior College. Poplar- ville had beaten Perkinston, so the Aggies were doped to lose the game. The dope was a bit upset when the team marched away with a 10-5 victory over the strong Pop- larville nine. This game ended the six game series. Losing only one conference game and playing with a 50-50 standing was not a bad start for the team. The next game was with the State Teachers on the campus. In a closely con- tested game, the Teachers emerged with a 3-2 victory. The game on the following day was rained out in the fourth inning. Poplarville was the next team to invade the Raymond campus. In a well-played game, Raymond again defeated the Poplarville aggregation by the score of 4-1. The Perkinston team was still out for victories from Raymond, but were disap- pointed in their attempt, losing the first game by the close score of 8-7. The second game of the two-game series was rained out on the following day. In the winning of the game from Perkinston, Raymond was placed ahead in the conference standing.
