Randle, Paul Farr, and Downing headed the list of juniors in the then exclusi ve Music Club. Hollis Hot” Kelly was elected pres- ident of our class for 1933-34, and made a valuable leader in all phases of our college work. Alfred Habeeb, an- other junior, was head cheer leader for the session, and others gave faithful serv- ice from being assistant managers of athletic teams to being good waiters in the dining hall. In January, 1934, the Choctaw war drums were muffled in salute to one of the bravest warriors ever to fight for his tribe. Tragedy stalked on our campus when James Monroe Lee, of the class of 1935, died in a Jackson hospital after a serious operation for blood-poisoning. t a 9 e twenty-nine

Especially were the juniors and trans- fers active in the Literary Societies, the class of 1935 having the largest per- centage of members of any class in those organizations. Nelson, Fagan, White and several other juniors were reliable members of the debating team for their last three years. Juniors played promi- nent roles in the Dramatic Club, and junior co-eds won much distinction in that organization. The class was well represented in the Ministerial Associa- tion, and our classmates did some valua- ble work in that field of our college training.

Senior Qlass Legend ( Continued) Rainy” Lee had been a star end on the football team, and was a miracle man on the basketball court for three seasons. Always cheery and friendly, he was a true Choctaw, and though his passing saddened us more than words can tell, we are proud to have num- bered such a man as one of our class- mates. Last September we members of the class of 1935 began the last year of our college careers. In addition to the usual deference and respect with which under- graduates regard the seniors, the men of our class, of course, filled the most re- sponsible positions on the campus, and were leaders in every field. Zachary T. Hederman was president of the student body, and Richard A. Eddleman was vice-president. Sam Peeples was student body attorney.
