WEEKS Class Poem When, after the years have jaded. After the dawn is past. And you live not for present memories. But the memories which have passed; May D ' c, in this little volume. Have stored some thoughts for you Thai will bring hack pleasant memories Of the friends nihom you loved so true. As you turn its golden pages. And think old thoughts anew. The things which once seemed tiresome Will cheer you tvhen you ' re blue. Life ' s sea may have been quite rugged. Or you may not have reached your goal; But may your heart once more be gladdened As you see those friends of old. Not for its sparkling beauty. Not for its value in gold Nor for those rvho studied and labored. Who made it and gave it a soul; But for its value in memories Of the days when you rvere paving the tvay To the destiny which you are approaching; To the manhood you are in today. So eep it if for this reason only To bring back the days of delight. You spent in your dear Alma Mater, When you had but started the fight. —Woods Eastland. sSssshs 19 2 7 CB i iissiiiiis lliilBll ErposPECiii ::i?

A Historical Drama in Four Acts. Time: During the reign of King Sloan I. Place: In S. A. H. S., The Royal Palace. Dramatis Personae: The Class of 1927. Act I. Group of carefree subjects stroll leisurely on the green before the castle gate. A peal of the trumpet announces the time to assemble in the Hall of Knowledge. Benedict Himelstein, who aspires to be court jester, is ready with a wise crack: Freshmen, freshmen, ever])Tvherc And all the Seniors shrank: Freshmen, freshmen, ever )Ti here, And Oh! they mere so blanl(. Once inside The Green Chamber the wit an-d beauty of Miss Jack Curry wins for her the position of Chief Executive. She and the joyous ensemble flit over the stage, presenting one blissful picture after another. Act II. There are sixty-two of the Brilliants gathered in the hall at the second rise of the curtain. Clad in tall thinking caps and the gowns of students, they present quite a different scene from that of the preceding act. The strong arm of Homer overcomes the charm of the damsel and he is chosen Prime Minister. The flame of true purpose and ambition is shown throughout this entire act. Our cast excells in every line of activity. Both knighls and ladies bring laurels to the kingdom. Act III. Hail! Hail! The Brilliants! Fifty-eight of them gather on the third landing of The Winding Stairs, which lead to The Hall of Fame. Armstrong with an excellent cabinet, including Bill Donald, Buddy Marshal, Jack Curry, and Grace West, guides their course. Shiek Jones, who came all the way from the Duchess of Louise, and James Crowell, famous actor, have risen to great popu- larity. Among the many fair lady celebrities are: Inez Harden, worldwide health champion; Evelyn Pierce, the girl of the curls; Garnett Harrison, the court vamp; Ruth Levings, another Marie Antoinette; Odean Therrell, an angel of goodness. This act shows the thoroughness of preparation before the great victory. A great number is listed in the order of Knighthood and make ready to engage in the final triumph. Among these are: Armstrong, Marshall, Donald, Ely, Vickers, Gilliland, Eastland, McNease, Pratt, Reeves, Stroud, Wester, and Williams. Around these valiants Sir Martin builds his Famous Eleven. Act IV— 5ce;ie . The stage decorations are resplendent with beauty and grace, yet indicative of strength and law and order. Armstrong, whose strength and ability is unequaled both at home and abroad, is unani- mously acclaimed his own successor. His foremost co-workers are: Maurice Jones, Grace West, Garnett Harrison, Willie Roy Reeves, Ann Bush, Buddy Marshall, and the great statesman. Bill Donald. In the Golden Room they pledge themselves to fight for the Red and White. The pledge is fulfilled, for in the very beginning the Famous Eleven, which is composed mostly of Brilliants, win highest honors at the tournament. The Ladies and Knights bring great glory to the kingdom of the S. A. H. S. Scene 11. It is spring time. Everything is radiant and lovely, as King Sloan on the morning of May 21 assembles the faithful group, awards them the highest honors of his kingdom, and sends them out to find new worlds to conquer. The trumpet sounds the hour. The crowd murmurs Ne plus ultra as the beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen file from the Hall of Knowledge. There is a tinge of sadness in the court and as The train from out the castle dretv. The Brilliants stopped to bid adieu. asziS £H 1 9 2 7 sMi F IIIIIJfjliT ETPOSPEC CLASS OFFICERS Curtis Allen MOORHEAD, MISS. Ti ' orr were the onl cause of death, Curtis would live forever.

Crowell Secretary ToMMiE Ely Treasurer Woods Eastland Reporter ON MAY 19, 1926, the above officers were installed to pilot the work of the club, and under their leadership the organization has made rapid strides. The high ideals and spirit of Christian living for which the club stands have been inculcated into the lives of the boys this year more than ever before. The delegation of twenty boys to the 1926 District Conference, held in Greenville, brought back the honors of a one hundred percent attendance record, the biggest delegate, and the peppiest delegation at the conference. With a renewed spirit to Possess the Land, the theme of the conference, the boys determined to cooperate with nearby schools in perfecting the organizations of the district. The S. A. H. S. club had the great pleasure of assisting Sunflower, Blaine, and Belzoni in the organization of their clubs. The outstanding social event of the year, the Father and Son Banquet, held on February 4, was a greater success than any of its annual predecessors. The fine spirit of comradship, the great orations, the excellent menu and the fun and frolic of the occasion have made it one on which our memories like to dwell. As we seniors depart from the S. A. H. S., we regret no one thing more than leaving the work of the Hi-Y, to which we owe much for any progress we may have made toward the de- velopment of all- ' round men. To those who take up the work in the coming years we throw the torch ; be it yours to hold it high. We shall watch with sincere interest the growing prosperity of our beloved Hi-Y. lllllltlllinninMlllllilllllllllMillMIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiniMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIItl (1 1 H fl R lllinillllllilllllllllllllllllllMIMIIIIIIUIMIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIII issssssssss lyy 1927 l y ssssssssss illllliJM Girl Reserves Laurah Mae Embry President Odean Therrell Vice-President Jeanelle Wasson Secretary Margaret Roberts Treasurer Frances Park Reporter The Girl Reserves Club which was organized in the S. A. H. S. as the Girls ' Hi-Y eight years ago has consistently grown in membership and strength of purpose since that time. Today it boasts of a membership consisting of one hundred percent of the S. A. H. S. girls, both town and boarding students. For four consecutive years Mrs. Chambley has been the faculty advisor and a better one could not be found. The officers of the club are: Laurah Mae Embry, president; Odean Therrell, vice-president; Jeanelle Wasson, secretary; Margaret Roberts, treasurer; and Frances Park, reporter. The theme of the programs this year has been based on Questing. The cultivation of friendship, beauty of spirit, service, and high scholarship has been our aim throughout the session. A great event toward which the girls are looking forward, is the Mother and Daughter Celebration, a social occasion that, in its programs, binds together and strengthens the purpose of the whole work. Next fall the district conference will be held at the S. A. H. S. Margaret Roberts is presi- dent of the conference and we expect to have the best conference session that can be had.

The Athenians are here with all the pep and spirit that nature provides. As our officers, we have Jeanelle Wasson, president; Pattie Cooly, vice- president; and Sadie Siegel, secretary. Our membership, though small in numbers is not lacking in quality. This fact was proved on the last Rally day, when, al- though the opposing society outscored us, we put up a strong fight and carried off the honors of many of the main events. The Athenians never give up, but manifest at all times the courage and de- termination that it will take to put the ' 27 on the banner. Our watchword is, Fair play, honest effort, and good-natured co-operation from every member of the soci- ety. Whether we score high or not, we are victorious. For when the one great scorer conies To Tvrite against )our name; He writes not thai you xvon or lost. But hoTv y ou pla )ed the game. Lanier Society AT THE first call in September, the Laniers lined up under the leadership of the k. following officers: Homer Armstrong, president; George Smith Marshall, Jr., vice-president; and Benedict Himelstein, secretary. Armstrong is an orator and debater of note as well as a superb athlete. He was captain and fullback of the state champion football team last fall. Marshal! is a master on the athletic field and was a very important cog in the state champion football machine. Himelstein is a silvertone orator who rivals the ability of a Demosthenes or Cicero. The spirit, vim, and efficiency of the ofFicers are indicative of the work being done by the society as a whole. The work of the year is equal or even superior io any year ' s work heretofore. The first Rally day we put it over the Olympians by a margin of eight points, but we are not resting on our oars. We intend to make the score next Rally day even greater than the last. Come out to see us win. ii2SHSZ 19 2 7 03 5hSe5eS PHILOMATHEAN SOCIETY Marie Carl, Presidenl Ruth Lowry, Vice-President Virginia Davis, Secrelar Philomathean Society T TndER the efficient leadership of Marie Carl, president; Ruth Lowry, vice- president; and Virginia Davis, secretary; the work of the Philomathean Society during ' 27 has merited success. This society is a true representation of the spirit of the S. A. H. S. It is not only a means by which each individual can pool her interests for the benefit of others, but it is also a source of much inspiration. The heart-to-heart relationship and enthusiastic interest existing in the Philo society found expression in the thrillingly large score of the first Rally day. Our sponsors Misses Thomae and Fox, respectively, have spurred us on with their ever encouraging words and sound criticism so that we have removed many of our weaknesses. Here ' s to the Philomathean Society. Long may it prosper and leave forever its imprint on our lives! Olympian Society V7hat terms can be found adequate to tell of the virtues of the Olympian Society? History is a narration of past events, but it would be impossible to give a full historical account of the achievements of the society; hence the following summary: The society organized for the session ' s work with Ray Wester as president. Ray has brought fame to himself and to the society as a track man and as a singer. Tommie Ely, a football, basketball, and baseball star was chosen as vice-president. James Crowell, eloquent debater and orator, was chosen as secretary. A more earnest set of officers could hardly have been found. The society is made up of some of the best athletes in school, while many of our men are literarily inclined. Those who hold our athletic laurels high are Crook, Ely, Wester, Stroud, Brown, A. M. Allen, Barry, Bowles, and Gilliland. The Olympian Society had eight men on the varsity football team. Those who stand foremost as debaters and declaimers are Donald, Crowell, Stevenson, Eastland, and Mansfield. Our motto is Together we stand, divided we fall. An Olympian is true and loyal to his society. He gladly stands up and says, I am an Olympian — give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you. The success of the society is attributed to the splendid co-operation of the members in working together for one great cause. 19 2 7 §siiissi§§ ETPOSPEC Vocational Agriculture T Tndkr the supervision of Mr. J. M. Weeks the Vocational Club of 1926-27 completed a most successful year. A summary compiled and given out by the State Board of Vocational Educa- tion, shows that the Sunflower County Agricultural High School leads all the schools of the state in net profit made by students m vocational courses. 1 hat Sun- flower County leads the southern states in this respect has not been questioned. Fifty boys produced $25,874.00 worth of farm products in 1925. Total ex- penses, including all charges, amounted to $1 1,292.29, leaving a net profit to the students of $14,582.04, or an average of $285.64 per boy. This amount is more than their school expenses in the S. A. H. S. for two years, and was made without a day lost from school. 1 he above data is taken from a summary of all projects including cotton, melons, orchards, dairy cattle, and poultry. A separate summary covering the averages per acre on 171 acres of cotton carried by 39 boys shows: yield, seed cotton, 1749 lbs.; yield, lint cotton, 542 lbs.; receipts, $128.46; total expenses $45.27; net profits, $83.19. In extension work over the county by the students and Prof. Weeks, over 4000 fruit trees were pruned and sprayed, 8 home orchards were planted, more than 400 head of livestock were vaccinated and over 3000 chickens were culled. On the school farm fifteen demonstration plots of fertilizer and variety tests were cared for, five bales of cotton were grown, an excellent school garden was produced and a large and profitable flock of poultry was raised. Home Economics Department npHE purpose of the Home Economics department is realized in two distinct ways. First, in teaching the theory of household management, and second, in putting theory into practice. The girls learn the principles of food and nutrition, the re- lationship of health, comfort and service in the selection of clothing, and they develop the spirit of hospitality and high ideals in home-making. Misses Hester and Creekmore, the efficient teachers in the Home Economics department, through their enthusiasm, have created such an interest in the work that it is a real joy to meet their classes. The new electric stove has added much pleasure and effectiveness to the serv- ing of the six o ' clock dinners which each group of girls is required to undertake. All in all, the department is popular, practical and progressive. FiESZSHSZS EO 19 2 7 SZSHSeS National Guard, Company A., 106th Engineers. The National Guard I ' HE S.A.H.S. unit of the National Guard was organized in September, 1924, with twenty-four boys as charter members. Thus there were recruited into the national defense high school boys of today, leaders of tomorrow. The commissioned officers of the unit. Company A, 106th Engineers, are Colonel Bookout, Captain Baird, Lieutenants Smith and Sander s. The S.A.H.S. non-coms are Sargeants Vickers, Wester, and Wren ; Corporals Crowell, Reeves, McNease, and Stroud. The S.A.H.S. squad made a creditable showing at the encampment last sum- mer. Besides their high record in drilling and tent-keeping, they won honors in boxing, track events, and other athletic activities. Many of the boys are looking forward to attending the encampment again this summer. CAMPUS NOTES EXTFNSION WORK ivisrroft TO the agrhultura ' 1 C[.ASS Abe l l orSti, former S.

Special Clubs ART : Though this club has always been popular on the campus, the members have never before been as active and persistent in their work. Outstanding members are: Ruby Hattaway, Virginia Davis, Laura Comeygs, Juel Bruce, Louise Lucas, Lydia Smith, Minnie Lee Allen, and Elizabeth Kalhofer. Their paintings show skill in producing weird and varied colors on the cheeks, lips and chins of the human face. By the use of the wrinklum bob and the delicate shading of the lashes and brows they make the most homely girl look like what she ain ' t. HIKERS: Because of the strict rules regulating membership to this club only a few fellows are able to qualify. Jennings, Lowry, DeLoach, and Caples have records of frequent, unexpected thrilling journeys into the neighboring burgs. Stroud, Coleman, and Kent, authorities on road maps into foreign countries, have even approached the borders of South America. LION TAMERS : Sloan Vandiver and Puckett Martin. Trainer Vandiver conquers unruly animals by limitations of space and privileges. Trainer Martin is noted foi his skill in teaching the young beasts to ride on two by four scantlings, to repeat the Declaration of Inde- pendence and other famous documents while they are rubbing their noses together.

S. team stood out unbroken, undefeated, and received the greatest award known to high school football men-— that of STATE CHAM- PIONS. Neither accident nor luck brought to the S. A. H. S. this signal honor. It came as a result of hard work, efficient coaching, and consistent training plus indomitable WILL POWER and plenty of the OLD FIGHT at all times. At the beginning of the season, in spite of the fact that we had come back to Moorhead with a determination and hope of a championship team, we recognized that there were many obstacles to be surmounted. To find and develop talent from practically raw material in order to fill the gap s made by the loss of seven 1925 regulars, was no easy job. Some of our most loyal supporters and fans believed it next to impossible to equal the 1925 record. But the men rallied to the call of Coaches Martin and West and THE FIGHT WAS ON. First, we SLEW INDIANOLA, our friendly rivals and neighbors, to the tune of 2H-0. Then the brave warriors of the CHOCTAW A. H. S. TRIBE were SCALPED, 19-0. GREENVILLE offered LITTLE OPPOSITION, as the 31-0 score testifies. CHARLESTON HIGH and WEBB, with scores of 14-6 and 33-0, SUF- FERED. Plucky little LELAND WEPT and said, Just 12-6 MERIGOLD LOST her RABBIT FOOT and the S. A. H. S. registered 19-0 against her, and won DELTA HONORS. Fame and honors served only to spur on FORTUNE ' S FAVORITE CHILD and the team backed by the PEP and LOYALTY of the student body forged ahead. In the INTERREGIONAL games CHARLESTON HIGH was again DEFEATED, 31-0. The best that LEE HIGH of COLUMBUS could do was to make a LONE DROP LICK, score 16-3, in our favor. The CLIMAX came in the presence of THOUSANDS of CHEERING FANS on DECEMBER 6 at Greenville, Miss. BILOXI FOUGHT; the S. A. H. S. FOUGHT. The S. A. H. S. scored and then Biloxi scored. Our boys threatened Biloxi ' s goal line. A FIFTH QUARTER was played to untie the 7-7 score, but to no avail. Although we made 17 FIRST DOWNS to Biloxi ' s 8 and 70 yards to Biloxi ' s 70, we did not make them yield another score to us. However, we were none the less STATE CHAMPIONS, happy over the results of the whole season. Lives of football men remind us How the}) rvrite their names in blood; And departing, leave behind them Half their faces in the mud. ---O ' Keefe. i S5ESH5H5HSH5H5H5ZBZKSH5H5ESHSZ] ULJI 1 O 7 7 UU SHSZSHSHSHSZSZSZSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSa iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiii 7 X ' 3 J riiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ' I ■ 1 11 PETROSPECliiaf WJI ' I HE basketball team that represented the S.A H.S. during the 1926-27 season was one of the best in the Delta. Many teams can testify to the quality of the offensive and defensive plays of our fighting five. Luck and victory did not al- ways come our way, yet there was never a time during the season when the team failed to show up in good form and play the brand of ball that is characteristic of the Aggie spirit. Vickers, who starred for four years and who has served as Captain for the last three years, was always on the job and did much to keep down the scoring of the opponents as well as to net a great many of the goals for the Aggies. Reeves, Ely, Pratt, Brown, Sturdivant, Curtis and A. M. Allen all showed ability as athletes supreme and made enviable records for themselves. During the season eleven games were played, the Aggies losing four. They brought home the bacon in seven of the hectic affairs. Those that were lost were by narrow margins. The fastest and best games of the season were played with Drew and Leland. The Aggies lost in their initial encounter with each of these teams but gained sweet revenge in the second struggle. The season ended when our team The Five Horsemen were eliminated from the tournament by Greenwood in the hottest contest ever played in this part of the Delta. v..msii I i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 rr Aoo.s UiUU Mil This Score Boird Wrs Oonate9 By DONALr DRUG CO 1 2?

The team did not lose a single series during the season but, in spite of obstacles and strong opponents, man- aged to break even. Mr. Vandiver coached during the first part of the season and the team was going strong when, on account of his brother ' s death, he had to leave us. Coach West and Coach Martin then shared the guidance of our destinies. It seems that Coach West carried the rabbit foot, for not a game was lost while the team was under his tutelage. The season started with the first two games against Rulevillc. In both, the S. A. H. S. was victorious, the first by a score of 18-3, and the second, 8-2. At Greenwood we tasted our first defeat when they licked us, 4-1. Greenville journeyed to our diamond and there gave us our second defeat, 6-2. Next Greenwood came over and went back with feathers down, as we handed them the small of 8-3 count. The town team fell before our heavy sluggers on two occa- sions. Indianola gave us our worst defeat when we came back bearing the burden of an 18-3 score. We split with Sumner as they got our number on their field but on Commencement Day we held a veritable track meet at their expense, which ended in a 21-0 score. The team as a whole worked together in a fine way, every member sacrificing himself for the good of the whole. Special credit and praise for the success attained should go to Captain Marshall, Pratt, C. Allen, and Reeves, who stood as a stone wall and turned the tide of battle when defeat seemed almost certain. Captain Marshall was one of the Delta ' s best receivers and death was sure to those who tried his wicked peg to second. Ely and Gholson held down the initial sack in a most capable manner, scooping and sacking ' em from any direction or angle. Sally Wood, the diminutive second sacker, was on top of all the balls that came his way and clung to his motto The Hotter the better. Our short stop, Mansfield, had had only one year ' s experience but showed he had the making of a star in the future. The heavy-hitting Pratt was a sure and stead fielder and had a peg like a bullet. High School pitching could not get him, as his healthy batting average of .602 indicates. Reeves in left field was a great fly chaser. He robbed many a hitter by his lightening-like speed. His first appearance in a game was as a substitute and he delivered in the pinch with a long home run. Colvin, in his first year, developed rapidly and was quite a ground coverer in center field. Eastland did good work in right field and worked up a good reputation for the coming season. Our, hurling corps consisted of C. Allen, A. M. Allen, and Armstrong. The Allen brothers did some swell pitching. Curtis was known for his smoky speed, while A. M. was the boy with perfect control. Armstrong did some good work in spile of the fact that he was still recuperating from an attack of pneumonia. As the annual goes to press, spring and baseball are in the air. There are many promising players waiting to fight hard for a place on the team. Only one varsity player, the diminutive Sally Wood, star second sacker, was lost by graduation. We predict for the team a great and overwhelmingly victorious season. ' ETPQSPECli| ;g?lP| ewees I ' HE Pewees, though small in body, are great in spirit and fight. Their football team under the direction of Kinchen O ' Keefe were thorns in the sides of teams of heavier weight and more experience. The basketball team, coached by Mr. Vandiver, is making a creditable show- ing and will likely furnish some good men for varsity training next season. Among the Pewees who have starred in the different phases of athletics are: Himelstein, Stevenson, Brent, J. Miller, J. McClain, Bustin, Strickland, Watson, Lowry, Gibson, and Massengale. T rac AFTER a very successful season in football and basketball, we are looking for- ward to an equally successful one in track. The send-off of the season was given by Mr. Vandiver in an excellent talk on our possibilities of winning the state meet. This year ' s team includes such stars as Bradley Pratt, who won the low hurdles in the ' 26 Delta Meet; John T. Vickers, who won the half-mile race in the same meet; Fred McNease, who won the shot put and was second in Discus throwang in the ' 26 meet; and Sam McClain, who won third in the pole vaulting. There is much strong new talent on the track team this year. Among the outstanding men are: Sabin Rush, Leabert Wren, Robert Heritage, Robert Barry, and Joel Eubanks. We are planning to win by hard work the Delta Field Meet this year. At the time of writing we have not had a chance to test our ability in this line, but records show that we are well above the average and have the brightest prospects that we have had in several years. I: Girls ' Athletics THE annual goes to press the students are optimistic over the approaching basketball tournament. Numerous indications point to a successful climax even greater than that of last year ' s team which brought back the Delta Champion- ship honors. This season eight games have been played, seven of which we have won. Much zeal and good pass work have characterized these games. Due to the loss of Ruby Blankenship and Pearl Willis the lineup of the players has changed con- siderably. It now consists of: Lillian Cooley who has an ability for caging the ball that is hard to beat; Mallie Mae Wise, who is filling Pearl ' s place with astonishing results; Inez Harden, a winner in basketball as well as in health, one of the classiest little guards to be found anywhere; Grace Brister our alert Captain and guard; Ruth Lowery, who is deservingly filling Ruby Blankenship ' s place by jumping just as high as Ruby ever did; and Marie Carl, running center and fastest member of the team. Jeane lle Wasson, Mary Jane Cooley, Dixie Lee Carl, Frances Smith, and Mary Katherine Fore are about the best among the faithful reserves, who have had a great part in making the team what it is, and who are demanding attention as contenders on the main line up. To Mr. McAllister who has coached his players in such a way that they have obtained physical, social, moral, and mental development from the season ' s work, belongs much of the praise for the continuous victories of the season. While the basket ball girls are practicing in the afternoon the rest of the girls are engaged in interesting folk games, tennis, calisthenics or in peppy walks under the efficient supervision of Miss Creekmore. These exercises have played a great part in making us a happy, friendly, understanding band of girls. COLLEGE CLASS College Days ROME was the heart of Italy and the Forum was the heart of Rome. Even so education is the imperial theme of modern times and college life is the axis about which education revolves. It is an arena upon which youth meets her fine failures and noble triumphs. It immediately precedes the most eventful period of life when we are to stand or fall on our merits. It is a bridge which carries us over the chasm between high school days and public life. The events and elements of college life are too varied to review singly. To some, college life is a chance to show a dauntless spirit and to others it is a con- tinuous string of insurmountable obstacles. There are battles fought, crises passed, victories gained and hearts made happy. But difficulties are inevitable, and, sad to say, many students who enter the freshman class drop by the road-side and, out- stripped by their more courageous fellows; are missing at the end of the race. But college life has also its humorous side, its time of revelry and fun. The absent-minded professor and the green Frosh are taking the place of the hen- pecked husband and the beloved mother-in-law in modern comics. A co-ed jovially remarked, College days and college work are fine, but college nights and college fun have ' em beat. Whatever else may be said of the college, one must admit it is the force that brings about the awakening. It arouses the latent possibilities of our hearts and minds, requires us to find our life ' s work, and encourages us to work toward expert- ness in that line. We must use tact in every day decisions. We learn that the drifter cheats himself out of true intellectual happiness and never comes to an appreciation of the beautiful. Those who meet the difficulties bravely, overcome the temptations, and con- quer themselves during their college days are better fitted for taking leading parts in the great movements of life. They it is who, having learned to hold on tena- ciously, stay by life ' s problems until they are solved. We of the Sunflower Junior College, both faculty and students, are trying to imbibe these principles into the foundation of our institution. We have dreamed in our infancy as did Columbus when he set his face westward, and we pray that our light shall shine even as long as his. I I grem, a starlit flag unfurled!

Vantonian Society No COLLEGE is complete without its literary societies. Perhaps no other school organization furnishes such excellent opportunity for the exercise of varied talents as do these societies. The very name Vantonian thrills us. To us it signifies fun, knowledge, spirit, pep and quality. The colors that lead us on are maroon and black. Our guiding hand, without whom we would feel lost, is Miss Janie Stennis. In our programs during the years we have followed definitely laid out plans. We have studied the lives and work of great masters m the realms of literature, science and the fine arts. During Arbor Week, we celebrated appropriately with programs on trees in general, Forestry in Mississippi, and kindred subjects. All in all, we have tried to keep abreast of the times and to give the important events a place in our work. The fine spirit of co-operation and loyalty from every member has made our success. Not only have we had excellent attendance but the students have joined most heartily in every phase of the society work. They have taken such an interest that even the jokes and stunts have been clever and original. The strain of pure and unaffected fun, the loyalty and interest in its growth have endeared the name Vantonian to us to the Nth degree, and have spurred us to our purpose embodied in our motto: To the stars Through bolts and bars.

We have striven to make real the purpose of their existence— to instill the principles of Christ into the hearts and lives of all the students, to build Christian faith and character through a study of the bible. Our programs have been varied so as to take in the different phases of life, the physical, mental, social and spiritual. Through them we have gained a better understanding of each other and a clearer meaning of life abundant. ' For the structure that ive raise. Time is with materials filled; Our todays and )esterda )s Are the hlocl{s Tvith which we build. Nothing useless is, or low ; Everything in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. All are architects of Fate, IVorlfing in these walls of Time: Some with massive deeds and great. Some with ornaments of rhyme. Dramatic and Music Clubs • LTHOUGH the dramatic and music clubs, like the other activities of the Junior College, are in their infancy, they are nevertheless healthy and thriving organizations. Under the skillfull direction of Miss Maude Mabry and Miss Annie Kenneday, the departments function in a most effective way. To these departments belongs a great share of the credit for the efficiency of the rally day and field meet performers and for the variety in the chapel programs, which are featured on Wednesday mornings with talks, readings, orations, vocal and instrumental music from the college students. In November the dramatic club staged the four-act comedy A Couple of Million. Wad- dell Hurt carried out the part of the hero with natural ease and skill, and, of course, won the heart of the fair lady, Elois Tolar, who merited all the love and praise heaped upon her. One can hardly imagine the genial, jovial Hovas as the villian, but such he played to perfection. Grant, as a lawyer. File as the sheriff, Coleman, a farmer, and Elizabeth Kealhofer, the rich widow, fitted their parts exactly and performed in such a way that the play stood out as a master production in every detail. Captain Plymouth, a comic opera, although largely a high school production, had as outstanding characters several of the college students. As Elizabeth Kealhofer, the heroine, and Mr. West, the hero, dressed in the quaint puritan costumes, enacted the beautiful love scenes of Priscilla and John Alden, the audience could truly imagine itself transported to the good old days of Plymouth and Captain Miles Standish.

Almost to the man the college boys responded at the beginning of the basketball season to the call for defenders of the black and maroon ; and under the direction of Coach West, put out a strong, fast quintet of cagers. Those composing the team are: Hurt, Moses, Gholson, Grant, Newman, O ' Keefe, Fite and Hovas. Up to the present date the team has broken even vv ith the opponents in the number of games won, but has some edge on them in points made. Most of the games have been played on the home ground, but the team has enjoyed several trips into neighboring territories and even into the foreign fields of Tate County. In fact, the journey into the distant land proved to be one of the happiest events of the season for it came near St. Valentine ' s day which was appropriately celebrated in the Junior College at Senatobia. All eyes are now turned toward Clinton where the tournament will be held on March 25. The team expects to give a good account of itself there. The prospect for a good track team is bright and the S.J.C. will enter con- testants in the general field meet for junior colleges, which will be held on the Clarke Memorial College grounds in the spring. With the addition of the second year college work and the increase in num- bers of students next session, a broader athletic program is planned so that there will be teams in every phase of athletics.

But there are those who can tell us from first hand knowledge that the present site was, not many years ago, a swampy wilderness dense with cane brakes. There were snakes and mosquitoes a plenty, and deer and other wild animals roved about at will. But on-e fine day there came a change, and behold! Moorhead found its place on the map, and then--- For years after the settlement of the town, a one-room frame building, which stood on the site of the present Baptist church, served the town as a school building. Then some friend donated a piece of ground and the citizens of Moorhead built the first brick school-building in the county, the present administration hall of the S. A. H. S. and S. J. C. Years passed and the movement to establish agricultural high schools in Mississippi furnished the impetus for the establishment of the S. A. H. S., one of the first schools of its kind in the United States. Ruleville, Indianola, and Moorhead vied in competition for the school and Moorhead won it. The boys ' dormitory was then built. Next a girls ' dormitory and the .science hall were built. The girls ' dormitory burned but was soon replaced. Mr. W. W. Brady, the first superintendent of the S. A. H. S., held the reins for two years, from 1910 to 1912. Then they passed into the hands of Mr. J. W. Sargent who kept them until Mr. J. S. Vandiver came in 1918 to carry on the splendid beginning. Mr. Vandiver ' s administration has been marked by rapid and sound development in every phase of school life. Plans have been made for the construction of a beautiful and conveniently equipped administration building which will be ready for use next session. A great step in the educational progress of the county and school was taken this year in the addition of the Sunflower Junior College. The college, while separate and distinct from the high school in every feature of its work, is under the same administration and enjoys the co-operation and good fellowship of the high school. The 1927 freshman class of the S. J. C. has the distinction of being the pioneer class, assist- ing in the establishment of a school which we are assured will flourish through the coming genera- tions. The realization of these facts has served to bind us more closely together than the average class is bound. Aflame with devotion to the common cause, our watchword has been, Not for myself, but far my college. Our dreams have been enriched with this noble purpose. Though our numbers have been small, we have not lacked the bountiful opportunities of hard work and the inspiration of social and spiritual influences. And, as we review the growth of the institution with which our college is inseparably bound in love and spirit, we delve into the future and prophesy for it great and glorious years; years filled to the brim and running over with worthy achievements.

Today North Carolina leads Massachusetts by a safe majority. North Carolina had an ideal climate, cheap labor, much cotton, but no industrial power for turning machinery. She went after and brought into the state super-power systems. Result: Industrial Expansion and More Wealth. Mississippi is the second largest producer of cotton in this country. She has an ideal climate, cheap labor, more cotton than North Carolina and she can now offer to the manufacturer the advantages of super power. An abundance of economical power means indus- trial expansion. MISSISSIPPI POWER LIGHT CO. C. P. Couch, Vice-President GENERAL OFFICE -:- JACKSON, MISS.
