HINDS Mciendqn Lib Raymond Campus RAYMOND, MS 39164-0399 Hinds Community College District ■ . ° IP The HINDSONIAN 1928 VOLUME TWO Published by the students  f Hinds Junior College RAYMOND, MISSISSIPPI Hinds Community Coiiege District FOREWORD All the pages of history hold but one word — progress. As you turn the pages of this volume we hope that you will see this one word mirrored here. To call up poignant memories of school days as they were, and to do this in the most beautiful way possible, — such is our aim. Not there, however, does our purpose end. If we break the trail, we trust that those who come after vis will widen it to a high- road. And if, in the years to come, the track we now follow should be much- traveled, we shall be satisfied.

For years he has guided its destinies, its extraordinary growth, with a vision that sees beyond petty difficulties. His constant effort has overcome any obstacle placed in the way of advancement. Because of these accomplish- ments, we dedicate this, the second volume of the Hindsonian, to President R. E. L. Sutherland Board of Trustees H. V. Watkins... Jackson, Mississippi President F. M.

This prize we struggle to attain With heart, and mind, and soul. We ' ve worked together through it all. Tho ' sorrows often came, We always held our banners high, And climbed the heights to fame. This Senior Class of Twenty-Eight Is known both far and near. We have a rep that can ' t be beat ; We hold a record clear. The girls you see before you now Have never known defeat. The boys have done as well, I know, To make the score complete. But in this race to fame, We all have been as one ; We whispered to each other, Climb on, we ' ve just begun. This loyal class, to-night, must part. ' Twas meted out by Fate. O, God, look down upon us now, The Class of Twenty-Eight. Eula McRight 25 : f p JA9JJA3J JAJJ AjW g A y r s sJR CLASS HISTORY On the seventeenth day of May, Hinds Junior College will send out her second Senior Class — a group of thirty-five individuals. We, this Senior Class, feel that we have fulfilled the promise embodied m our Freshman poem : Things will be run wisely Under the Freshman rule. Nearly sixty freshmen were enrolled in this institution in the fall of ' 26. Eager for knowledge and overflowing with energy, we made an enviable record during our freshman year under the good leadership of our class officers: J. C. Farrar, Presi- dent; Maude Wynn, Vice-President; Virginia Kinsey, Secretary-Treasurer. Our class had representatives in every field of activity. In athletics, in social activities, and, most of all, in literary work, our students heaped honors upon themselves and their class. Our sweeping victory over the three other classes in the Inter- Class Field Meet exhibited our superior abilities. In addition, five members of the girls ' famous basket-ball team were members of the Freshman Class. Great was our joy, in the fall of ' 27, to find so many old faces in our midst. About forty members of our Fieshman class returned to begin their sophomore year here. We were glad to receive two new sophomores who have proved to be worthy members of our class. The Senior class elected J. C. Farrar President, Catheryn Ratliff Vice-Presi- dent, and Clara McClellan Secretary-Treasui ei . J. C. left us at the end of ' 27, and the reins of government were taken up by Catheryn Ratliff. J. W. Young was elected to take Catheryn ' s place as vice-piesident. Though fewer in number this yeai , our class has kept its place in the ranking of abilities. We stand first in grade average, and we won second place in the Inter- Class Field Meet. Seven of our girls have won basket-ball letters. As we leave PLnds Junior College, we take with us the ideals and standards held up before us by the teachers and friends. We leave with regret the old halls and classrooms, but we must ever press onward to reach the goal of Wisdom. Realizing this, we now bid our Alma Mater farewell, and go out to new schools and new duties with that same determination that has here won for us our aim. and the title: A Success. A. L.

The challenge we took up that day, And then our school days began. To the cross roads of life we ' ve come, And each must go his way. Life holds not the same for each. We must choose a place today. We must leave these walls so dear To follow the vision so bright, For a voice to us seems to call. May the dear Lord guide us right ! With joy, and with sorrow, too, We ' ve come to the perfect day. We hope that the future holds in store As much joy as has passed away. Tonight, Alma Mater, we part, We hope that for us you ' ll enthrone A place within your heart, And whisper the words, Well done. CLASS HISTORY On that bright September morning, beautiful to look upon, the High-school sea was clear and blue, its waters reflecting the sun ' s rays and sparkling waves of many colors. Anchored near the shore, stood the grand Senior Steamer, awaiting our embarkation. Soon the signal was given and quickly the sailors let down the ladder. At this sign the awaiting fifty were thrilled with expectancy at the joys in store for them during the coming tour to last nine months. Having embarked, we stood on the main deck and gazed at our friends whom we were to leave for a short time. Oh ! the excitement, when the Senior was loosed from her mooring, and had begun her voyage. We had gone nearly two days ' journey when we came in view of a small island. Waving high in the breeze was a red flag, and from far off there appeared a mass of about six moving objects just beneath the flag. A small boat was ordered to be sent to the island, to see if anyone was marooned there. Soon the boat returned with a rather queer cargo, six persons. Their baggage appeared to be mostly books ; even their handbags were loaded with them. It does seem as if it would have been enough to save themselves and leave the books alone, but that is what we would have done, not they. As soon as they were aboard, they were introduced to us individually, telling us of their respective occupations. It was settled that they would continue among us, becoming our tutors and chaperones. Oh! our poor little sorrows! Our first sorrow on that wonderful journey! After our new fellow passengers had been made comfortable, they came to our big parlor, each with a book in his or her hand as the case might be. They had not been there long before they began reading to us. This routine was continued throughout our journey, and though we are nearing our destination the explanations and admonitions have not ceased. What we thought was our first sorrow has turned into joy, for High School sea is full of wonders. The Senior Steamer has weathered many storms, and we with excitement and fear have not gone under the sea, but hope to continue our tour through many days to come. 42 v a 7 yjssr jw, J, TULIOlIOFS HIGH SCHOOL |S w HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS Vaughn Alliston Robert Anderson Fred Applewhite Mary Bridgers Martha Bridgers Bobbie Lee Brown Thelton Bryant Evelyn Buell - Leila Campbell Mae Carstarphen Dorothy Chambley Harry D.

This feature is one of the biggest happenings at Hinds Junior College. Every department of work is represented. The class average in scholastic work for the first semester counts more than any other event. The Commercial Department holds contests in typing and shorthand. There are practical contests in Agriculture and Home Economics such as judging, plowing, corn husking, sewing and cooking. The Manual Training Classes have contests of various kinds. Each class has representatives in voice, piano, and instrumental music. In some contests the whole class participates, in others individuals take part. The Ex- pression students represent their respective classes, while there are contests of a lighter nature such as class stunts, to lighten the tension. As in all meets, athletics constitute the greater part of the program. In 1928 only two classes were decidedly superior to all the others in a single department. The Freshmen stood head and shoulders above the other three classes in the track events, winning eleven first places out of a possible sixteen. The Junior College Seniors held a similar place in scholastic work. In the other depart- ments, agriculture, domestic science, commercial work, field sports, and stage events, honors were equally divided among the three upper classes. Like their predecessors in 1927, the Freshmen were victors with one hundred and seven points. The Junior College Seniors surprised every one except themselves, taking off second honors with ninety-two points. The High School Seniors were close on their heels with eighty-seven, while the Juniors trailed with only thirty-seven. 4G ACTIVITIES F esiivirei Hall of Fame The Beauty ------- Mary Hovis Most Popular Girl - - - - - Lynda Crawley Cutest Girl ------- Louise Morris Most Stylish ------ Mary Hovis The Sheik ------- Hollis Morgan The Flapper - Louise Thompson Most Popular Boy - - - - - Lyle Bates Wittiest ------- Prentiss Yeager Peppiest ------- Alvin Wells Most Original ------ Freddie Hoff Best All-Round ----- Evelyn Hamberlin Best Girl Athlete ----- Catheryn Ratliff Most Studious ------ Grace Galloway Most Polite ------- John McAlpin Biggest Nut ------- Marie Googe Best Boy Athlete ----- Carroll Wright 4S LYNDA CRAWLEY : — LOUISE MORRIS Best Girl Atklett i tapper %: ' ■ ; -.:.

The players were Mr. Buford Pierce, Miss Mildred Noble, and Miss Edith Harris. According to the judges at the Tournament at Moorhead, the presentation of the play by the young people representing the Little Theater, Echo was almost perfect. One of them paid a tribute to their ability by saying that their play was the only one on which he regretted seeing the curtain drop. A number of people who saw the pro- duction declared that nevei before had they seen the equal of the players from Hinds Junior College. Do we feel proud of our drama- tic talent 5 We ' ll say we do! 70 EXPRESSION CLUB AttJklettio lb M H. G. LAIRD, Coach Coach Laird is a product of Mississippi College. He received his coaching under Coach Bohler, Director of Athletics at Mississippi College. In his four years he was a letter man in baseball, basket ball, and football. He was a member of the S. I. A. A. Championship Basket-ball Team in ' 26. His ability with a basket ball team was readily shown by his developing a team with a good record in the Junior College Conference. Aside from being an athlete, and a coach of a very high order, his pleasing personality and gentlemanly bearing make him one of the most popular instructors that has ever served on the Junior College faculty. GARNETT THOMPSON, Captain Captain Thompson rounded out his third year at right end on the Aggie Varsity, and his second year as captain of the squad. Gifted with aggressiveness that strove to atone for lack of weight, Captain Thompson could be depended to mix unreservedly in the thickest of the fight, setting a pace for his team mates worthy of his leadership. Opponents learned that plays around Captain Thomp- son ' s end were extremely hazardous. As an athlete, Garnett is popular with his fellows — a quiet, gentlemanly type of chap; and as a student his work ranks well above the average. All in all, he is an all-round man, the type whom people like to see succeed. CARROLL WRIGHT, Captain-Elect Carroll came to Raymond last year, and promptly won a berth on the team at center. Coming back to Raymond this year, he repeated the performance. He was the only man on the team that had the distinction of playing every quarter this year. In his two years with the Aggies he has won the confidence of his team mates, and this was clearly shown by his being chosen captain of the basket-ball team this year, and captain-elect in football next year. Carroll followed in the footsteps of his brother who was the football captain in 25. In Carroll we have the two good traits of a captain, a good athlete in all departments of the game, and a fellow that is an all-round sport. 72 Football m When Coach Laird issued the call for the first football practice quite a number responded. With only seven letter men back from the past season, and a large amount of inexperienced material, Coach Laird faced the task of developing a team. The beginning of the season found Wright at center, Johnston and Ferguson at guards, Sheffield and Allen at tackles, Captain Thompson and M. Richardson at the terminals. In the backfield M. Cox and Fairchilds alternated at quarter, Bryant was at full, Carr and C. Richardson were at the halves. H. Cox, Shields, and Mobley were valuable men in the backfield, ready for relief duty at any time. In the line Yeager and Cutler were reserves at the ends, Berryhill and Hood at the tackles, at guards Bradv and Holcomb. Maud Wynn, Sponsor The success of a football season is often determined by the number of games won and lost during the season. Our defeats during the year were more than our victories, but we feel that the season was a success. With a team with the pep, and fighting spirit that this squad had, it could not help being a success. 73 s r s s S J s y rs f Milton Cox Quarterback Milt was moved from half to quarter, where the full benefit of his football ability might be used. He proved to be a good quarter, for he used excellent judgment in all stages of the game. Opposing teams always said Watch Cox! Milt is from Flora. J. C. Johnson Guard This makes Jack ' s second year on the team. He possessed the deter- mination and the guts . He was in the game with all the fight he had from the first whistle to the last. Jack is from Magee. Lamar Berryhill Tackle Big Berryhill was a tower of strength in the line. Opponents never came too rough for him to handle, and, if they wanted a clean game, he was always ready. Lamar is from Learned. Bob Mobley Halfback Bob is another man who played his first year of football with the Aggies. He was small, but his fighting spirit and speed supple- mented his size. His broken field running was a factor in every game. Bob is from Utica. 74 w M Ernest Sheffield Tackle Sheff was the big man of the team, and he filled a big hole in the line. He caused a great deal of trouble for his opponents, and at no time did they make large gains over him. Sheff is from Vicksburg. Hampton Cox Halfback Hamp ' s ability on the cinder path made him one of the fastest men on the team. He was light, but his speed more than offset his lack of weight. End runs were his favorites. Hamp is from Flora. Mel vi n Richardson End This is Jimmie ' s first year at football, but he early proved his ability by making the varsity. His speed in getting down under punts and his hard tackling proved a hard- ship to the opposing backs. Jimmie is from Bolton. Harold Carr Halfback Carr came to the Aggies from McComb. He possessed speed that was unusual in one so heavy, and his line smashes seldom failed to make gains. Due to an injured arm, he was handicapped at the last of the season; despite this handicap, he was a valuable player until the season closed 75 s ' sv s s s sjm . ff. r MZ A y tWs y JSPf y 7 B© Cresslyn Richardson Halfback Rich finished his second season on the team. Injuries prevented him from playing consistently throughout the season. His speed and his ability to gain ground was a great asset to the team. Rich is from Bolton. Prentiss Yeager End Cricket came to Hinds Junior College from Union Church. His knack of getting down under punts, and breaking up interference was hard to excel. The opposing backs soon found it wise to stay clear of Cricket ' s end of the line. Howard Ferguson Guard Ferg could always be relied upon to open a hole for the backs. He played a safe, conservative brand of football, and he took de- light in breaking through a line to smear a play. Ferg is from Woodville. Thelton Bryant Fullback When it came to hitting a line and backing up a line, Barrel was right there. His blocking, punting, and hard tackling made him an invaluable player to the team. Barrel is from Jackson. Cecil Allen Tackle This makes Al ' s third year on the Aggie team. Al is a big mainstay of the line, and he is one of those consistent men who is in the game with the old fight and spirit. Al is from Raymond. 7 i wwjysw ' Mr jet.-- y y ry j - _ sfss ys z y Basket-Ball Coach Laird proved his ability as a basket-ball coach by developing the best basket-ball team that has represented the school in several years. Out of the twelve conference games that were played the Hinds Junior College won eight games. The men back from last year were Kitchens, Brady and Wright. The new men to make the squad were Richardson, Smith, Osborn, Berryhill, Wairen, and Davis. Lance Wright, who has been away from school for the past two years, came in late, but he made the squad. Carroll Wright was elected Captain of the team. His consistent playing throughout the season was a factor in every game. As a Captain of the team we see Carroll at his best. The record and playing of the entire team was a source of pride to the Aggie backers. With the majority of these men back for next season, and the services of Coach Laird, too much cannot be expected of our next team. 77 dWs SJE S S S y s ' AWs L.

In 1927, Clarke College offered a bit of stiff competition. However, in 1928 the H. J. C. boys had no difficulty at the tournament. They defeated two opponents to win the title, scoring sixty points to four for the opposition. The men on the team are: M. Cox, Allen, Sheffield, Hutchins, McLemore, Mobley, Carr, and Richardson. ' SO ' Sy BASEBALL OUTLOOK The Aggie baseball nine got away to a good start in the beginning of the season by defeating the State Teachers College in a two game series the first game being 10-7, the second 5-3. At the time the Annual goes to the press the Aggies have only played these two games, but beginning with April 16th the team is scheduled to play a week in the conference, off the campus. From the showing that was made the first of the season the Aggies bid fair to carry away the Junior College Championship in baseball. SCHEDULE o April 16-17 State Teachers, April 18-19 Perkinston J.

The two largest features in the meet were the mile relay, and the 100 yard dash, both won by Raymond. In the dash Richardson ' s time was 10.5. In the javelin throw Carr won the first place, and tied for second in the pole vault. In the high hurdle Hampton Cox came out third, and first in the low hurdles. In the half mile race Thompson finished second. In the discus L. Berryhill won second place, and in the high jump H. Berryhill tied for first place. The 440 yard dash was a closely contested race, Mobley losing first place by about a second and a half. For the second time the Aggies have proven their ability on the cinder path in the Junior College Track meet. The men who com- pleted the season, and ran in the meet are as follows: Richardson, Mobley, M. Cox, H. Cox Carr, Thompson, L. Berryhill, H. Berryhill, Kitchens, and West. 82 j vza r yxa r aw Tiwy Annette Sutherland Mascot Van Taylor Assistant Coach Much of the phenomenal success of the Hinds Junior College girls was due to Fat. Last year, he coached a very successful high school team at Richton. Fat achieved the unique distinction of being an A-l student and a very valuable coach at Hinds Junior College. He believed in being white to his players. Their success is a glorious tribute to his system. Miss Mildred Forbes Head Coach The basket-ball record of Miss Forbes is an amazing one, indeed. She played the position of guard on the University of Missouri team for two years. After she finished college, she went to teach in Indiana. She took charge of the basket-ball girls there and won the state championship for two years in succession. The next year, she came southward to Raymond. Last year her team won the State Junior College Championship without much effort. In 1928, she turned out a team which is probably as good as any south of the Mason and Dixon line. Her philosophy is much like that of her assistant, for her motto is: Treat ' em right, and they ' ll play basket- ball. 83 fw?; Jj ms ja j jjjjs ;ajm SM9 Jua Agnes Pace Forward She was always ready with speed and accuracy, to snap into the place of a disabled forward. Faithful, and dependable — that was Agnes. Margaret Ratliff Jumping Center The dependable attitude of the Aggiettes toward Margaret was never shattered, for she was at all times faithful to the trust placed in her ability to get the tip-off. Her signals were clever and they never failed to deceive her opponents. Mildred Noble Guard She stayed with her forward until the last whistle blew and never gave up. She went into the game with true Aggiette pep and spirit — and played it well. Evelyn Hamberlin Forward Although small in stature, she never failed to dazzle opposing teams by her tosses. With speedy flashes, she covered the court like lightning, and carried off scoring honors for the season. Marjorie Hardy Forward Marjorie, the left-handed forward, could hold that line to perfection. A sure shot, a dandy at pass-work, and an all-round fighting Aggiette, — such was Marjorie 84 LlNNIE THURMAN Guard Linnie was our all-round reserve. She played any position on the team with a great spirit, and always did her best. Marie Googe Jumping Center This was the first year of Marie ' s basket-ball career, but she showed great ability, and played when called on, in a capable fashion. She should be a tower of strength to future Maroon and White sextettes. Maude Wynn Guard The best of guards — quick and steady. Her team work was excellent, and her sure, straight passes to center never failed. She was ever dependable, and her fighting spirit was never broken. Catheryn Ratliff Captain, Running Center The Aggiette misses during the past two years have been inspired by the spirit of their faithful leader. Good plays came fast and regularly from her hands, and she fed the ball to the forwards with rare ability. Mabel Glynn Wright Guard This little guard was a great reserve. She possessed an unlimited amount of energy and determination. She was faithful and never complained. 85 P7T Girls Basket-Bail The season of 1927-1928 was the best ever known to a girls basket-ball team at the Hinds Junior College. For the second consecutive year, the Aggie girls walked away with the junior college championship, winning every junior college game during the season, and making a grand sweep of the tournament. But it was not only in junior college basket-ball that the Aggiettes excelled. They scaled the heights when the redoubtable Delta State Teachers, who had previously defeated West Tennessee Teachers, Ole Miss co-eds, and, only the night before, Millsaps, went down before their triumphal attack. This victory placed the Hinds six in position to claim any kind of championship possible to a team in the Southland. The season ' s work created a record toward which any aggregation may reason- ably strive; namely, that of going through two complete seasons with an unbroken string of victories from teams in their own class. The four defeats of the past two years were by teams that represented four year colleges. With two exceptions, the players of the past season were also those of the year previous. They will have to be replaced another season, but as they go from us they, and their triumphant coach and assistant coach — Miss Mildred Forbes and Mr. Van Buren Taylor — carry with them the affection and recollection of all who appreciate the superior standing of the Hinds Junior College. 86 SCHEDULE ' 27-28 SEASON Hinds Aggies 22 - - - Millsaps 24 Hinds Aggies 36 - - - Perkinston 12 Hinds Aggies 36 - - - Poplarville 8 Hinds Aggies 36 - - - State Teachers 9 Hinds Aggies 26 - - - Clarke 15 Hinds Aggies 45 - - - Grenada 13 Hinds Aggies 40 - - - Perkinston 15 Hinds Aggies 30 - - - State Teachers 18 Hinds Aggies 25 - - - Clarke 24 Hinds Aggies 32 - - - Delta State 30 Hinds Aggies 17 - - - Delta State 32 Hinds Aggies 18 - - - Ole Miss 40 Hinds Aggies 35 - - - Senatobia 16 Hinds Aggies 63 Perkinston 24 87 2 jkP J } } J? } ' JBP ' j£P ' ■MMHM§ Girls ' Track Hinds Junior College is justly proud of its girl athletes. The track team is as good as the basket-ball team. In 1927, the team consisted of Catheryn Ratliff, Margaret Ratliff, Mildred Noble, and Grace Crawley. These young ladies swept all opposition before them. In 1928, all but one of these, Miss Crawley, returned. Evelyn Hamberlin, Irma Lee Richardson, and Maude Wynn further strengthened the team. In the Junior College Field Meet, the girls again carried off honors, losing only one event, the relay. Had it not been for a break of the game, they would have won this also. At any rate, they finished second. Hamberlin was high scorer, winning the fifty yard dash and the high jump. Catheryn Ratliff won the broad jump. Hamberlin, Richardson, C. Ratliff and Wynn composed the relay team. I GIRLS ' VOLLEY BALL TEAM ru TENNIS 89 SjG?s s4 S S - y x f s Mrs 90 iy sj s y .

Consequently all the industries were centralized around the coal fields. The! Textile Mills, nearly all of which receive cotton from our Southern States, were located in New England. Now, however, with the abundance of electrical power available in all parts of the country, industry is fast realizing the value of our warm climate! and cheaper living conditions and is moving South to take advantage of them. The availability of electrical power in abundance in any town is a strong inducement for some industry to locate there.
