U6 4U CLASS POEM We are a band of travelers Pressing onward to our goal. 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. Coleman 26
