TELL FARMER BbOK AND CATALOGUE PRINTING MERIDIAN. MISS. VOLUME TWO 19 2 6 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF TPIE SUNFLOWER COUNTY ACJRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL MOORHEAD, MISSISSIPPI liiJjigli FOREWORD XF, wlicii the ] rantk ' of Time lon ' past shall have veiled the days of with a beauty softened as the outlines of an old portrait, you find anioii ; ' these pages a single gleam to eatch the silver of elusive ' memory, and hold it fast, we shall, as all Fairy tales have it, live happily ever after, for we shall have accomplished our purpose. I CAI FUS SCBHES JUHIORS 50PHO 10ftE5 Of 6 AMIZAT|OI l5 ATWUTics a 4 Dedication To our lionored and very efficient president of .Sunflower Agri- cultural High School, Joseph Sloan Vandiver, is tliis volume dedicated with the love and admiration of the Class of ' 26. With a sincere belief in his power to bring out all that is inherent in the boys and girls who come under his tute- lage, he has done nuich for the future citizenship of Mississippi. His confidence has inspired boys of every walk in life to find themselves. A man of high ideals, unimpeachable honor and bound- less ambition, he works among the best of school men in this, his native state ; has held and maintained leadersliip in the school world since early manhood; for nine years he has weilded the gavel in this, our Alma Mater ; the fa- ther of Kally Day, a bi-en- nial contest between the four literary societies of the school, the most effect- ive of all Field and Literary meets, he deserves the liigliest encomium. 5 () 8 9 llllilfM 10 13 15 (Ha s History A( ' l ill Scptciiilici-, ;ili(iii1 si ' cii1, ' of llic iiiosf vcrdaiil jirnducls of Siiiit ' lowci- and adjciniiij; ' counties caiiic to .Mcorlicad. wiici-c, under the tutelajie of Professor Vandiver and liis associates tliey were destined (o make liis- tory and bring more fame and f lory to tlie dear old institution. After ()injj ' throu ili tlie iieeessaiy process of rentin 2: eliapel seats and pur- chasinfj ' shoe-wearin - privile ies, tliis green ])uiieli was enrolled as members of tlie Fi ' esliiiian Class, and passed an uneventful year as such. When the Sophomore year rolled around most of the old gang was back. Being Hophomoi ' es was not so bad, for they were one year nearer Seniordoiii, and felt that they were due much respect from the Freshmen. The third fall found the Junior Class altout si.xty strong. Several old mem- bers had dropped out, but their places were taken by new ones who had learned of the S. A. II. S. spirit, and desired to become a part of it. Many notable things were accomi)lished in the thiid year, but in the fourtii, especially, were we to be heard from. When the call was issued for Seniors, almost all the last year ' s Junior Class were present. To start off a brilliant year, four men of sterling ability were named as class officers. IcCain was re-elected presi(l( nt, his ability and leader- ship being unquestioned ; Thomas Hutchins, one of the outstanding figures at this institution, was chosen vice-president; Alex Drane and Kinchen O ' Keefe were made secretary and treasurer, respectively. No men could be found who are abler than these. At a late meeting, Martha Stillions, a girl of sterling qual- ity, was elected reporter for the class. This class of ' 26 had done many notable things in the history. Part of them even assumed school leadershij) in the -lunioi year. The class has stood out in literary work, athletics, and leadership. We believe this to be the greatest class in the history of our Alma Mater. Now, as lay Day approaches, we are expecting to see fifty-six mighty and proud graduates march out of the portals of our noted institution. Ill llillfplllli Pin 17 Senior Poem Today, we Sciiidivs stand Strong ' , brave and tj ' iic. To do the best for this dear land, That we know liow to do.

We tliiiik we have the best set of officer ' s possible, with Beatrice Hood, President; Mary Ritldeli, Vice-President, and Elizahclh Kcalliofcr, Secretary. Every member hcld.s a place on the firing line. Co-operation is a great essential in every undertaking, and it means much to the spirit and ambition of our society. This is shown veiy clear ' ly through the weekly programs, which gives every mend)er an opportunity for development along all literary lines. Athletics also licld an impoitant place in oui- activities; we are hoping to excel this year. The Alumnae of our society are with us in spirit, ever boosting us onward to victory; and their loyalty dees much to keep tiie fire of ambition burning in the heart of every Athenian. We ai ' e determined to bring victory for ' 26, though our I ' ivals seem fully as determined to defeat us. Hence we may foresee a ' scrap on next rally. How- ever, we ' 11 be behind our guns and intend putting up a worthy fight. When at last the term is ended, And the present is the past, May each Athenian ' s cry be blended For a record nobler than the last. Lanier Society HE Lanier Society organized this year under the leadership of William McCain, with Robert Wood, Vice-President, and Kinchen O ' Keefe, Secre- tary. A great year ' s work has been done. McCain is a debater and declaimer of note. Robert AVood and Kinchen O ' Keefe are track stars, while both McCain and Wood do their stuff on the gridiron. The society is made u[) of the best, at least a great many of the l)est athletes of the school, as was shown in the first Rally when we overcame the Olympians by a good score in athletics. lany of our men are literarily inclined, although they were defeated the first Rally. With the next Rally to come, they are preparing to win out in both. As a whole we have an A-1 society. Every one is working together and pull- ing for victory this year, which means a ' 26 for our banner. p]very man seems to have unusual pep and enthusiasm as siiown iiy the fact that every one is doing his part and doing it well. We have the beginnings of great men among us, and we are developing in every line of endeavor. The societies are the school ' s greatest asset. Watch us grow. 39 I ' ll 1 1.( ).M ATIIEAN SOCIETY EDNA ANDERSON, rrcsidcnt NANNIK HVE PYJiON, Vit-e-Piesident JMATJA ROWLAND, Scietaiv OLYMPIAN SOCIETY ALEX DRANK, Picsi.Ioiit THURMAN HENRY, Vice-President TH0:MAS HUTCHINR, Seeretnry 40 ' ETPOSPEC Pliilomatlieaii J I ' ]| IIAPS llio iiiosi intcicslitio ' and one of the most important phases of our school life in S. A. H. S. orioinated wilh llie organization of our literary soeielies. Thoy were organized in 1919, by boys and iv s who wanted inore than the ordinary in sehool life, and for these few years have been handed down to and aeeepted by equally aiid)itious boys and girls as a valuable legaey. At the time they were organized our society had as its president, xMiss Laura Bell Downer, wlio gave us just the right motto: Good Work, Good Pellowsliip and Clean Play. Since then we have had as presidents. Misses Martha Davis, Melba Carl, Frances Anderson, Mildred Brister and Edna Anderson. Our paths have not been strewn with roses, nor have the laurels always been ours after a hard fight, but we have always been victorious, because we can make victory of defeat. To the Philos of futui-e years we would have this echo linger: Fight the fight thru tears of right, Toil on and on forever ; The noblest goal of all the world, Is that of true endeavor. Olympian Society | T OOKING back ever the past year we see no achievement so outstanding as M- the victories scored by the Olympians, and the superb programs rendered weekly by the society. The Olympian succes.ses can be definitely attributed to thr ee factors, the first of which is the excellent leadership of the splendid offi- cers. Drane and Henry, eloquent debators and orators, have rendered magnificent service as president and vice-president. It is almost impossible to find a more sincere leader than Hutchins, Varsity football captain and stellar track athlete, who has filled the secretariat. The second link in this chain of victory is the co-operation of every member. Without this willingness to res])on(l we could not point proudly to our record, which charges no member with having failed to bring up his part when placed on i)rogram. Our liats are off to the Olympians; they deserve sincere praise for the spirit of team work they have manifested. The third, but not least of these reasons for our winning, is the wisdom shown of choosing new students. Not all of these could be admitted to the select circle, but after careful consideration the pick of new men was taken into the fold. Our new meml)ers stepped into the harness at the first and have pulled well. These three things mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, so essential to success, are sure to make the Olympians move forward in the future. 41 42 43 SERGEANT DRANE 44 45 45 Vocational =N 1 1 K ' o( ' ;i1 i( n;i I (Mill) of l!)25-2() was oi ' jiimizcd at the hcLiiiiiiiiiji ' nl ' the sca- son hy .Mcssi-s.

Tliose wiio are unal)h ' to belonji ' to tlie clnh take five iunis a week of snpervised praetice; that is, they do five li(.nrs a week woi ' k on tlie farm undei ' Ihe sni)ei ' vision of tlie afirienltural instructors. Mv. Mai-tin has heen added to assist in non-project work. Profes- sor.s ] Iauldin and Weeks have done much to help the farmei ' s of Sunflower coun- ty in the way of imi)rovin ' their orchards and farms. Each sunny day now sees one of the instructors loading ' up his Ford with boys and pruning imiilements foi- a visit to some part of the county. The visits are enjoyed very much hy the boys who are fortunate enough to be permitted to go, because of the ample dinners provided by the good farmers of the county to whom they give their service-i. Mr. Vandiver requires every boy who g(!es on these trips to have u|) h ' f, work and to make good grades. In classes, l)esides using just ordinary text books, the students are taught practical things that give them first-hand knowledge of subjects which will bene- fit them on tiieir leturn to the farms. Tliey are taught to tie ropes and test soils in the class room, and test milk with expeiiments. In studying the cliaracteristics of a dairy cow, pi-obably one period is taken up on the farm judging the animal it self. Thus knowledge is gained that can be a])plied by the students on their re- turn to their homes. Every boy that attends this institution will have gained much if he only learns his agriculture wisely and well. Although we have a se parate vocational department in Home Economics, practically the same course is offered as that offered in the regular vocational work. Evei-ything is made as practical as i)ossible. Class room theory is carried out to a great extent by planning and serving all tyjies of meals, and in planning and estimating the costs of meals for the average family on the budget plan. In clotliing w(;rk, the girls ai ' e given fundamentals of selection, purchasing, making, and caring foi- clothes. For practical work, a certain number of gar- ments have to be made in addition to the planning of wardrobes from a specified amount of money. Sonu interesting health work has been done in some of thi classes by giving class credits for keeping ' health rules. The greatest thing that is fostered in the Home Fconomics Department is efficiencv of ]al)or in the home to give more time foi ' the higher values in home life. 47 48 49 |||i|Jf|g;|| ETPOS BASEBALL 1925 Standing, loft to right — Supt.

Out of six- teen g-aiiies played four were lost, one tied, and eleven won. If three men were picked who were most responsible for this good record, they would be Coach Vandiver, Captain Sproles, and Hartness. Although Mr. Vandiver is President of S. A. H. S., he gives his time to the baseball team in the spring. His specialty is team w ork and harmony among his men. Sproles and Ilartness kept the team full of pep and fight at all times. They encouraged most wlien the score was against them. Due to the brilliant work of every man, not a series was lost dur- ing the season. The first tw o games were played with the strong town team, which later became a member of the Delta League. S. A. H. S. won the first and tied the second game. In the third game, Greenwood defeated us at Greenwood. Then we had a winning streak which included the conquering of Shelby twice, Green- ville Military Acadamy, Greenw ' Ood, Town Team, and Itta Bena. In the tenth game, Itta Bena came back and beat us at Itta Bena. The next week Greenville High fell before our sluggers, but the town, with a former Mississippi College star pitching, beat us by a 4 to 3 score. In the next two games we beat Indianola at Indianola, and Greenwood at Greenwood. In the fifteenth game, Leland suc- ceeded in outseoring us. Then came Commencement Day, and Leland again. We staged a track meet on that day which will be long remembered by Leland. When the dust cleared away we were leading, 17 to 5, at the end of the seventh inning. Captain Sproles was one of the Delta ' s best catchers, and the mainstay of the team. Hartness, at short, was another great player. He made six runs in the last game of the season. Pratt played center field until this year, but was brought in to third, and he held this warm corner like a veteran. His slugging is evident by his .426 batting average. Selvidge held the initial sack well and bat- ted .326. Reeves was out only after the track season, 1)ut showed up well in right field. The pitching of Allen, Armstrong and Hafferty was spectacular at times, and had much to do with the high pei-ceiitage of wins. They were shifted to out- field at times, when they were not needed to hurl the horse hide. larshall and Bridges seldom failed to rob the sluggers who hit in their territory. Wood iimde up for his small stature in ability. IJis motto was, The hotter, the better. 51 IlllJfjlg ' il • ! Varsity Football Standing, Left to Right — Coach West, L.

' Altlioiigli tlie Icaiii did not 1)imii ' iioiiic tiic Delta eliampioiiship, it did bring iiiuch honor and 8 ' h)ry to the Okl Institntion. The team was noted for fair play and all-round clean conduct, holh on and off tlie gridiron. Every man on the team always fought with everytiiiii ; ' he liad, regardless of tlie score. The season was opened witli .Montgomeiy Aggies on the campus. The field was nuiddy, and it seemed that neither team would score until Allen returned Montgomery ' s kick-off 80 yards to begin tlie second half. He bucked across and kicked goal a few seconds later. Montgomery evened the score in the last quar- ter. The second game was a listless affair with Sumner at Sumner. The field was muddy and neither team was able to score. Then Greenville High was taken on at Greenville. The game was played in a downpour of rain and neither team scored. The Aggies had their first dry field in the fourth game, which was with the Yazoo Aggies. Neither team threatened during the first half, but S. A. H. S. got loose in the last half. Reeves made two touchdowns, and Armstrong one. The game ended with the score 19 to 0 in favor of S. A. H. S. The following Fri- day, Charleston High came down and waged battle with us in a sea of mud and water. The game was a punting duel until the third quarter wlieii R. Wood dashed off tackle 50 yards for a touchdown. Cliarleston 1)locked a punt in the last quarter and beat us, 7 to 6. On Tuesday foHowing, we avenged ourselves by licking Tallahatchie Aggies, 25 to 0. Colvin, McNease, R. Wood and Reeves checked in touchdowns. Then the game came that was to decide the Delta championship. S. A. H. S. met Merigold at Drew. Armstrong bucked across in the first five minutes of the game. R. Wood intercepted a pass and went 50 yards for the second score. Merigold strengthened and tied us to 18. Tliree days later we met them at Drew again. They scored first this time. Then Armstrong crashed across and Allen kicked goal. Merigold liad us 14 to 7 at the end of the half. They made a field goal in the third quarter and things looked hopeless. Coacli Martin sent in McCain and Gilliland from his reserves and the Aggies started in form again. R. Wood went through the line 20 yards for tlie second touchdown, and Allen kicked goal. The game ended with the Aggies in the shadow of .Merigold ' s goal posts, and our Delta championship hopes gone. The last game was with our old rivals — French Camp. They beat us last year, but this time we put them down, 18 to 0. Seniors played most of the game. The season has been the most successful in years. We are going higher next year. Much credit is due Coaches Martin and West. 53 56 ETPOSPEClfe BASKETBALL SQUAD DELTA CnA: IP10NS 1926 T OURN AM EN T SC (JRE S Greenville, 12; S. A. H. S., 16 Ind ianola. 12; S. A.

The first battle of the season was with tbe Charleston Aggies, who, with their avoirdupois, stature, and greater experience in the field, ran up a big score on us. However, we took defeat and made victory out of it. Since then we have suffered only one defeat. Nearly all material this year was new, but it did not take them long to catch the S. A. H. S. s])irit; became real gritty, and now we have a first class team. As the Annual goes to i)ress, the team lias defeated Greenville, Indianola and Morgan City at the Tournament. Thus they go into the semi-finals with good chances of winning. Boys ' Basketball OUR team has had the gi-eatest success, perhaps, in the history of the school. Only one game has been lost and that to a team that does not stand as high as ours. We won second place in the Delta championship tournament. As the Annual goes to press.

VANJJIVER Illlilig Dedication To our lionort ' d and very efficient president of Sunflower Agri- cultural High Seliool, Joseph Sloan Vandiver, is this volume dedicated with the love and admiration of the Class of ' 2(). With a sincere belief in his power to bring out all that is inherent in the boys and girls who come under his tute- lage, he has done nuich for the future citizenship of Mississippi. His confidence has inspired boys of every walk in life to find themselves. A man of high ideals, unimpeachable honor and bound- less ambition, he works among the best of school men in this, his native state; has held and maintained leadership in the school world since early manhood; for nine years he has weilded the gavel in this, our Alma Mater; the fa- ther of Kally Day, a bi-en- nial contest between the four literary societies of the school, the most effect- ive of all Field and Literary meets, he deserves the highest encomium. 5 0 I 8 9 M LOP.BV BOYS ' DOEMITOEY 13 15 Class History ©ACK in Scpleinlicr. l!)22, alioiit sovciily of the incsl iM ' (l;ni1 |)i-()i|iii-ts of Sunflovvei- nnd ad.jc.iiiiii - couiitios ciiiiH ' to .Moorlicjid. wlici-c, uihIci- tlic tut ' l lf •( ' of Pi ' ofc.ssdr N ' jindivci- and liis associates tlicy wefc dcslincd 1o make his- tory and briiifi;- more fame and glory to the dear ohl institntioii. After going through tlie necessary process of I ' enting cliapel seats and pur- eliasing shoe-wearing privih ges, this green bunch was enrolled as members of the Freshman Class, and passed an uneventful year as such. When the Sophomore year rolled around most of the old gang was back. Being Sophomores was not so bad. for they were one year nearer Seniordom, and felt that they were due much respect fi ' om tlie Freshmen. The thii-d fall found the Junior Class aliout si. ty strong. Several old mem- bers had di-o])ped out, but their places were taken by new ones who had learned of the S. A. II. S. spirit, and desired to become a part of it. Many notable things were accomplished in the third year, but in the fourth, especially, were we to be heard from. When the call was issued for Seniors, almost all the last year ' s Junior Class wei-e present. To start off a brilliant year, four men of sterling ability were named as class officers. McCain was re-elected president, his al)ility and leader- ship being unquestioned; Thomas Hutchins, one of the outstanding figures at this institution, was chosen vice-president; Alex Drane and Kinchen O ' Keefe were made secretary and treasurer, respectively. No men could be found who are abler than these. At a late meeting, Martha Stillions, a girl of sterling qual- ity, was elected reporter for the class. This class of ' 26 had done many notable tilings in the history. Part of them even assumed school leadership in the Junior year. The class has stood out in literary work, athletics, and leadership. We l)elieve this to be the greatest class in the history of our Alma Mater. Now. as Mny Day approaches, we are expecting to see fifty-six mighty iiiid proud graduates march out of the portals of our noted institution. 17 lll! .

Every member hi.ld.s a place on the firing line. Co-operation is a great essential in every undertaking, and it means much to the spirit and ambition of our society. This is .shown very clearly through the weekly programs, which gives every mendier an opportunity for development along all literary lines. Athletics also held an impoitant place in our activities; we are hoping to excel tliis year. The Alumnae of our society are with us in spirit, ever boosting us onward to victory; and their loyalty does much to keep the fire of ambition liurning in the heart of every Atlienian. We are determined to biing victory for ' 2t), though our rivals seem fully as determined to defeat us;. Hence we may foresee a scrap on next rally. How- ever, we ' ll be behind our guns and intend putting up a worthy fight. When at last the term is ended, And the present is the past, May each Athenian ' s cry be blended For a record nobler than the last.

IcCain is a debater and declaimer of note. Robert Wood and Kinchen 0 Keefe are track stars, while both IMcCain and Wood do their stuff on the gridiron. The society is made up of the best, at least a great many of the best athletes of the school, as was shown in the first Rally when we overcame the Olympians l)y a good score in athletics. Many of our men are literarily inclined, although they were defeated the fii ' st Rally. With the next Rally to come, they are preparing to win out in both. As a whole we have an A-1 society. Every one is working together and pull- ing for victory this year, whudi means a ' 26 for our banner. Every man seems to have unusual pep and enthusiasm as shown by the fact that every one is doing his part and doing it well. We have the beginnings of great men among us, and we are developing in every line of endeavor. The societies are the school ' s greatest asset.

Since then we have had as presidents, Misses Martha Davis, Melba Garl, Frances Andeison, Mildred Blister and Edna Anderson. Our paths have not been strewn witli roses, nor have the laurels always been ours after a liard fisilit, but we liave always been victorious, because we can make victory of defeat. To the Phiios of future years we would iiave this echo linger: P ijiht the fight thru tears of right. Toil on and on forever ; The noblest goal of all the woi-ld. Is that of true endeavor. Olympian Society OOKING liack (,ver tlie past j ear we s ee no achievement so outstanding as tlie victories scored l)y the Olympians, and the superb programs rendered weekly ])y the society. The Olympian successes can be definitely attributed to three factors, the first of which is the excellent leadersliip of the splendid offi- cers. Drane and Henry, elociuent debaters and orators, have rendered magnificent service as president and vice-president. It is almost impossible to find a more sincere leader than Hutchins, Varsity football captain and stellar track athlete, who has filled the secretariat. The second link in this chain of victcry is the co-operation of every member. Without this willingness to respond we could not point proudly to our record, whicli charges no member with having failed to bring up his part when placed on program. Our hats are off to the Olympians; they deserve sincere praise for the spirit of team work they have manifested. The third, but not least of these rea. ons for our winning, is the wisdom shown of choosing new students. Not all of these could be admitted to the select circle, but after careful consideration the pick of new men was taken into the fold. Our new iiiembers stepped into the liarness at the first and have ]nilled well. The.se three things mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, so es.sential to success, are sure to make the Olymjiiaiis inov( forward in the future. 41 42 43 MISSISSIPPI NATIONAL GUARD Company A, lOBth Engineers THE OFFICERS 44 45 46 Vocational IIP] ' o( ' ;iti(.n;il ( lul) of l!)2r)-2() was oi ' j aiiizcd at the Ix ' iniiiiif ' - of the sea- son by Messrs. Weeks and Mauldiii. ' I ' liis did) is composed of about one- half of the boys in the s( ' h(;ol, oi- tliose students who are able to take projeets as a part of theii- a iMcultural education. It is made up of men from each year, who are divided into classes, separately from those students who ai ' e un- able to take projects as a part of their prescribed cour.se. Those who are unable to belono ' to tlie club take five hours a week of supervised practice; that is, they do five hours a week work on the farm under the supervision of the agricultural instructors. Mr. lartin has been added to assist in non-project work. Profes- sors IMauldin and Weeks have done mucli to help the farmers of Sunflower coun- ty in tiie way of improvin i ' their orchards and farms. Each sunny day now .sees one of the instructors loading ' up his Ford with boys and pruning implements for a visit to some part of the county. The visits are enjoyed very much by the boys who are fortunate enough to be permitted to go, because of the ample dinners provided by the good farmers of the county to whom they give their services. Mr. Vandiver requires every boy who goes on these trips to have up hip, work and to make good grades. In classes, besides using just ordinary text books, the students are taught practical things that give them first-hand knowledge of subjects which will bene- fit them on their return to the farms. They are taught to tie ropes and test soils in the class room, and test milk with expei iments. In stiulying the characteristics of a dairy cow, i)robably one period is taken up on the farm judging the animal it self. Thus knowledge is gained that can be applied by the students on their re- turn to their homes. Eve ry boy that attends this institution will have gained iiuich if he only learns his agriculture wnsely and well. Although we have a separate vocational department in Home Economics, practically the same coui-se is offered as that offered in the regular vocational work. Everything is made as practical as possible. Class room theory is carried out to a great extent by planning and serving all tyjies of meals, and in planning and estimating the costs of meals for the average family on the budget plan. In clothing work, the girls are given fundamentals of selection, ])urchasing, making, and caring for clotlies. For j)ractical work, a certain number of gar- ments have to be made in addition to the planning of wardrobes from a specified amount of money. Some interesting health work has been done in some of the classes by gi nng class credits for keeping health rules. The greatest thing that is fostered in the Home Economics Department is efficiency of labor in the honie to give more time for the higher values in home life. 47 48 49 Illllll BASEBALL 1925 Staii(iin -, left to ritjlit — Supt.

Out of six- teen games played foiu- wei-e lost, one tied, and eleven won. If three men were picked w ' lio were most ivspoiisible for this good record, they would be Coach Vandiver, Captain Sprole.s, and Ilartness. Although Mr. Vandiver is President of S. A. H. S., he gives his time to the baseball team in the spring. His specialty is team work and hai ' mony among his men. Sproles and Hartness kept the team full of pop and fight at all times. They encourageil most when the score was against them. Due to the brilliant work of every man, not a series wa lost dur- ing the season. The first tw ' o games were played with tlie strong town team, which later became a member of the Delta League. S. A. 11. S. won the first and tied the second game. In the third game. Greenwood defeated us at Greenwood. Then we had a winning streak wiiich included tlie c{)n(|uering of Shelby twice, Green- ville Military Acachimy, Greenwood, Town Team, and Itta Bena. In the tenth game, Itta Bena came hack and beat us at Itta Bena. The next week Greenville High fell before our sluggers, but the town, with a former Mississippi College star pitching, beat us by a 4 to 3 score. In the next two games we beat Indianola at Indianola, and Greenwood at Greenwood. In the fifteenth game, Leland suc- ceeded in outscoring us. Then came Connnencement Day, and Leland again. We staged a track meet on that day which will be long remembered by Leland. When the dust cleared away we were leading, 17 to 5, at the end of tlie seventh inning. Captain Sproles was one of the Delta ' s best catchers, and the main.stay of the team. Hartness, at short, was another great player. He made six runs in the last game of the .season. Pratt played center field until this year, hni was brought in to third, and he held this warm corner like a veteran. His slugging is evident by his .-126 batting average. Selvidge held the initial sack well and bat- ted .326. Reeves was out only after the track season, but showed up well in right field. The pitching of Allen, Armstrong and Rafferty was spectacular at times, and had much to do with the high percentage of wins. They were shifted to out- field at times, when they were not needed to hurl the horse hide. larshall and Bridges seldom failed to rob the sluggers who hit in their territory. Wood made up for his small stature in ability. His motto was, The hotter, the better. 51 ■A Varsity Football Btanding ' , Left to l x t — Coaoh West, L.

' Althoujiii the team did not l)riiis iioiiie the Delta ehampiouship, it did brint? nuieh iiouor and glory to tlie Ohl Institution. The team was noted for fair play and all-round eleaii conduct, lioth on and off tlie gridiron. Every man on the team always fouglit with everything lie had, I ' egai ' dh ' ss of the score. The seas:on was opened with .Montgomery Aggies on the eam|)us. The field was nuiddy, and it seemed that neither team would score nntil Allen returned Montgomery ' s kick-off 80 yards to l)egin the second half. He bucked across and kicked goal a few seconds later. Montgomery evened tlie score in the last quar- ter. The second game was a listless affair with Sumner at Sunnier. The field was muddy and neither team was able to score. Then Greenville High was taken on at Greenville. The game was jjlayed in a downiioui- of rain and neithei- team scored. The Aggies had their first dry field in the fourth game, which was with the Yazoo Aggies. Neither team threatened during the first half, but S. A. H. S. got loose in the last half. Reeves made two touchdowns, and Armstrong one. The game ended with the score 19 to 0 in favor of S. A. H. S. The following Fri- day, Charleston High came down and waged battle with us in a sea of mud and water. The game was a punting duel until the tliii ' d quarter when R. Wood da.shed off tackle 50 yards for a touchdown. Charleston blocked a punt in the last quarter and beat us, 7 to 6. On Tuesday following, we avenged ourselves by licking Tallahatchie Aggies, 25 to 0. Colvin, :McNease, R. Wood and Reeves checked in touchdowns. Then the game came that was to decide the Delta championship. S. A. H. S. met Merigold at Drew. Armstrong bucked across in the first five minutes of the game. R. Wood intercepted a pass and went 30 yards for the second score. Merigold strengthened and tied us 13 to 13. Three days later we met them at Drew again. They scored first this time. Then Armstrong crashed across and Allen kicked goal. IMerigold had us 14 to 7 at the end of the half. They made a field goal in the third quarter and things looked hopeless. Coach Martin sent in McCain and Gilliland from his reserves and the Aggies .started in form again. R. AVood went through the line 20 yards for the second touchdown, and Allen kicked goal. The game ended with the Aggies in the shadow of Merigold ' s goal posts, and our Delta championship hopes gone. The last game was with our old rivals — French Camp. They beat us last yeai-, but this time we put them down, 13 to 0. Seniors played most of the game. The season ha.s been the most successful in years. We are going higher next year. : Iuch credit is due Coaches Martin and West. 53 56 BASKETBALL SQUAD DELTA CHA.MPIONS l ' )26 TOURNAMENT SCORES Greenville, 12; S. A. H. S., 16 Indianola. 12; S. A. H.

Caesar is honored l)y having us take liis woi ' ds as oui- motto. When the first eall eaiiie for volunteers, a huge throng fell into rank and file. Under the supervision of Commnnder-in-ehief Gai-land (who is now famous because of her Gai ' laiul plan) Adjutant-iic neral : IeCailister, and Captain Sue Pyron; a most suceessfu! training lias hecii under way, although there has been little actual fighting. The first battle of the season was with the Charleston Aggies, who, with their avoirdupois, stature, and greater experience in the field, ran up a big score on us. However, we took defeat and made victory out of it. Since then we have suffered only one defeat. Nearly all material this year was new, but il did not take them long to catch the S. A. H. S. s])irit ; became real gritty, and now we have a first class team. As the Annual goes to press, the team has defeated Greenville, Indianola and Morgan City at the Tournament. Thus they go into the semi-finals with good chances of winning. Boys ' Basketball OUR team has had the greatest success, perhaps, in the history of the school. Only one game has been lost and that to a team that does not stand as high as ours. We won second place in the Delta championship tournament. As the Annual goes to press, Coach Martin is prepai-ing to take the team to Missis- sil)pi College to win the State chanijiionship. Schedule At Inverness— S. A. H.
