S. in 1!)2(). Thv Siinllower AsriciiH mii 1 lliRh School has been well attended from its openinR. The attendance contiiined to .mow until l!tl8, when due to the war and the loss of the jiirls ' (lorniitory by lire, there was considerable talk of dosing the school. The trustees at that time sa d tb.at they would be delighted if as many as forty boarders could be secured, but when the opportunity was given the people, seventy-eight boarders en- rolled the first day. Now the enrollment of the S. A. H. S. is 164. The present enrollment dees not include any eighth or ninth L-nide students, while the enrollment of HllS included both the eiglith and ninth. The Junior College enrollment of 1926 was thirty one, of 1927 fifty two, of 1928 sixty s x. In 1930 we hope to deliver diplomas to fifty-five seniors in the Sunflower Agricultural High School, and to forty-five graduates of the Junior College. We confi- dently expect the enrollment of the Junior College to be 1(K) in 1930. The value of the entire plant is estimated at $350,000.00. The college annex building is one of the best in the state. The excellent spirit of the students is the greatest thing about this institution. It is a source of great pride that our students are complimented by all visitors on their promptnesa and politeness. During the past ten years more than 95 per cent of all our students have passed three subjects, and more than 75 per cent have passed on all their subjects. This wonderful record does not come by chance. It is a result of faithful teaching and of fine responsiveness on the part of the students. Do right and study hard, Pretty is as pretty does , Remember there are others , are a few of our leading mottoes. The school features Agriculture, Home Economics, and Athletics for boys and girls, as well as an excellent literary course in High School and College. It also features- Music, Expression, Oratory, Band and Orchestra. We have a wonderful spirit of work and play. Our school is home-like. P ' aculty members are constantly in personal touch with the students. We are always glad to see our students improve. We want to serve all the people of Sunflower County either directly or indirectly Our self-help department has made it possible for many fine boys and girls to obtain the advantages of high school and college at a minimum cost and this cost defrayed by their own efforts. We appreciate the privilege the school has in thus serving the boys and girls, and citizens of the county. 13 IRE¥IR I ' SPIECT cJrioo. II f))! ' !!

J. C. as graduates from the S. A. H. S. and thus in a way had been exposed for two years to college life and spirit. Yet as freshies we felt green, and were green, as all who knew us can testify How long it did take for us to learn our schedules and to get the habit of reporting to class only three t ' mes a week instead of five! ! and what long and difficult lessons oui dear teachers did assign! No wonder five of our class contracted matrimony and did not enter the sophomore year with us. No wonder several others chose to begin teaching and to make the assignments rather than to take them. But in spite of our difficulties here we are — eighteen of us — realizing and regret- ting that the coming of September will not mean our return here. Our sophomore days have been full of everything. There have been victories and defeats in the class rooms as on the athletic fields. There have been smiles and tears, joys and sorrows but happiness has prevailed and today as we stand on the threshold of graduation we are glad that we have kept the spirit and have battled on. 22 GKOROK MIST SClll.Allat, MISS.

He liegaii the liard road to the city of Knowledge and soon realized that his two rooiiiiiiat ' s were not the associates that he should have. A new friend. Will Power, was not strong enough, though, to keep him above their influence and he was soon on his wa.v to the Office of Punishment with Idleness and Pre]). There -lustice gave the three a reprimand, and Encourager gave them a firm hand clasj). Aiiiliition was sti ' ongei- after the repi-imand and the words of condolence and once more he set out for the ( ity of Knowledge. He had not traveled very far before he met Stud.v Hour, who showed him the quickest and surest way to his destination. Tlic way was easy for a time liut Ambition soon met Cheat and -J ust-(iet-B,v who jiersuaded him that the road they were ti ' aveling was smooth and ])leasant. He went with them for a period of two weeks and then found liiat their wa.v was wrong, because he bad to pass over the muddy slcugli of I ' nsatisfactory. Ambition did not like the boggy land of Unsatis- factory, so as soon as possible he parted from these undesirable associates. He knew that unless he retreated immediately he would again be lured on to Unsatisfactory, so he hastened back to his old fi ' iends. Determination and Coui ' age, who i-onsented to he his body-guards foi- a long way. Soon Slovenness and 1- 1 )()n ' t-Care overtook the three and Ambition was tempted b.v the hai)p.y air of Slovenness and I-Don ' t-Care and forsook De- termination and Courage for them. The wa.v of these two people led him to the home of their cousin, No-Privilege, whom Ambition did not like at all. 26 ' I ' licrc coiuc Id liis rescue, however, ;i sturdy fellow njiiiied S(iei;il lloui ' .

I ' nder tiie guiding influence of Instrnctoi ' , the wisdom of Study Hour, and th( ins])ii ' at ion of Ueautiful, Ambition made steady i)rogi ' ess, but he feared the much-talked-of dragon, Kxams. So Ambition ke[)t close company with Study Hour, Courage and I )etei ' mination, and when the dreaded eiu-ounter with Kxanis canu ' , he enuu ' ged wounded and weary, but victorious. Ambition was self confident after his victoiy over PiXams and soon fell into the -onipany of two jolly fellows.

And)ition did not stray from his excellent associates so often oji the last lajise of the journey as he did at first. He settled down to liai ' d work and Will Power helped him to keep clear of the temptations of Carelessness and his associates. Another dragon had to l)e overcome before Ambition could enter the golden gates to the City of Knowledge, the longdooked-for and desired destina- ti(!n. After Ambition had conquered this fiercest of dragons, Final Examina- tion, he was sent on his way wdth a new and faithful guide, Diploma, who led him to the very gates of the beautiful city.

Finally, I came to realize that every time you sounded your voice there was a definite place for me to go and a definite thing for me to do. Three years ago I became your master. I have I ' ung you continually since that time, summer and winter — thirty times a day. Some times I would ring you at the wrong time and sometimes at the right time. But what did it matter? I would produce my watch as evidence that I was right Init it was no use to argue: Mr. Vandiver ' s time was always right. Sometimes you have been niy closest friend, for just as a hard questiini in history or a terrible sentence in English was coming my way, I Would have to leave the room to ring you. Thanks to you, old friend. I hate to leave — maybe I can find some excuse to stay with you. John T. Vickers. Goodby old school, I do not know when I shall come your way again. Six long years have T toiled with you and my head aches from the hard facts that I have stored up. Only a few have been brave enough to stick with me for six years. They are Belle Jones, who has giggled her way through; .James Crowell, whom you have not fully satisfied because you did not offer a course in love making; Leabert Wren, who has been good at all trades; Garnette Harrison and Sabin Rush who have seen you begin and grow to v hat you are — maybe that is why they smile and cling to you so. But farewell! Every dog has his day, and I ' ve had mine. Wren Cartledge. Good-bye ' ole deai ' ! I have spent many pleasant hourn upon the hard benches and window- sills in the company of your fair maidens, and under the ever watchful eye of Mr. and Miss Chaperon. In your office I have learned much bad news — off on two no privileges. There I learned to prepare to stand before the altar and say I do. Sweetheart, I left you once before, but not foi ' long. Now I am bidding you farewell again. Shall I return? Who knows? Blacku-ell Hill. I know not whether with tears or with smiles to take my departure from this noble institution of learning. I do know that I sadly resign my position as sub courier and general office flunky to the rival candidate flappers Castleberry, Roberts and Lowe. Gladly I bid farewell to the other two-thirds of the class of Spanish sharks. Having withstood the friendly sarcasm of Senor .Jones, we ' re better fitted to buffet the tough old world. A long last farewell to those who are ever on the alert to see that I am in my room just the minute the bell taps for study hour to begin. Ina Guess. 28 IRlEini PIECT ■r Karevvell, farewell everybody! If I never chance this way aRain, the memory of the (lays gone by, my joys, my sorrows and my friendships will always be sacred In Ilic rich delta of Mississippi wlicrc the lonsitiidc and latitude are met by the Southern crossing The Dog, I have spent five joyor.s years. They will long live in my memory. Farewell to the beloved old gridiron where we won many victories though we sometimes lost the game. Farewell to the ye ' ping squad and the beloved coach. Farewell to the cheering crowds on the side lines. I could not leave without bidding a loving farewell to all these. My heart weeps with .ioy, old furnace, at our departing. Two years have I labored with you in an attempt to make you angry enough to belch forth heat that would satisfy the boys in their dormitory. It is you who has made me perspire and bear the brunt of n any an unpleasant interview. I am sorry that we must part, for so well do I know you that we are as one. By your side stands another object of my love, wrath and lost laben-, your brother, the hotwater stove. Would that I could hug you both for it is through you that I ' ve attained a Junior College education — but how can I forget those awful interviews. From the time my lips could form the word school that word has meant school in Moorhead. First, grammar school in the present high school building, then a scant year and a half in the city school — and then my stay in the S. A. H. S., for four years. How surprised and dismayed when I learned there would be a junior college here! But that dismay changed to joy when I entered that same junior col- lege and became a staunch booster — for I really have been proud of our Sunflower Junior College. O, the good times I ' ve had in S. A. H. S. and S. J. C. — the innumer- able love affairs — and the hard work I ' ve pretended to do! But I ' ve been retrospecting and I meant merely to say farewell. I leave this school in the same capable hands that have guided it to success — Mr. Vandiver — so 1 have not the faintest qualm for the future of it, only a little uncertainty for myself at the thought of leaving the only school I ' ve ever known to go out into the cold cold world. to me. lU ' Uc Jinics.

They rushed here and there, but I for my part. Had just settled down to listen to my heart; When out in the hall there arose such a clatter, I jumped from my seat to see what was the matter. Away to the door I flew with my might (I knew in a jiffy it wasn ' t just right). When what should I see like a shining star, But a briglit green buggy — a Chevrolet car With a funny old driver shaking his noodle — I knew in a moment it must be Google More rapid than ever his couriers to him came, And he shouted ' to his teachers and called them by name, Now, Tom: now, Cham! say, Jon and Fen! On Sten! on Turn! come Dobb and Pen! To the chapel of the old study hall Now rush away, run away, fly away all. So up to the study hall the summoned ones flew With all the student body — and dear Papa, too. And then in a minute, I heard on the stage A very mad man who was all in a rage. As I looked out the window and was turning around, Down the narrow little aisle Papa came with a bound. He was threatening and shaking from his head to his toes; And what he was thinking goodness only knows. He began his speaking in quite a loud tone That I could pack my duds and go home- 1 jumped up and down quite frantic with joy; Oh my, I was going home, and going to see that boy. Then he bellowed out loud in an awful song That I had got things all dead wrong. So remembering things in chapel read, I looked shyly up then lifted my head: Will you please, Mr. Vandiver, smile at me? He glowered and looked at me — oh gee! Then he smiled like a jolly old elf And I laughed out loud, in spite of myself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word but went straight to his chair: But I was not now afraid of The Big Bear Arid telling us to remember school was not yet out, He roared and seemed fairly to shout. He finally gave the long looked for sign And we scraml)led and pushed to get out in that line. Ere I reached the stairway, I heard him chime, JVIerry Christmas to all: Be sure to be back on time.

Them Holaday boys is still lovin the same gals az they wuz, too. Henry Duckett is doomed to be a bachelor. All the gals lik him. but he ain ' t never had no gal. I sho do feel big being in the class with such famous scholars az Grace Spencer, Carlyle Long, Berry Brown, Theo Couch an the rest uv these brite Seniors. The college kids had a Rally Day and the Wilsons bete the Lees, but Twitchell wnz the funniest thing. He wuz one of the horses for the chariot race, but he fell down an the chariot run over him, we sho did laugh. Ma, you oiter see the funny things Theo Couch an James Miller kin draw. They is some artists. When we gits our annual you kin see for yourself. We sho is ben havin some swell basket ball games this yere. I haven ' t fel through the bleachers but four er five times (bleachers is seats whut folks set an stand on out at the gym and the gym is the place where all indoor sports is held). You oiter here Mr. J. S. an Miss Yancy yell. Gee theys got the healthiest lungs. Mr. J. S., my buddy, has g3t some dandy new mottoes sech az Pretty is az pretty does an Remember Lot ' s wife; I don ' t catch the drift there coz I don ' t kno Lot much less knoing his wife: An his favorite songs is To the work and Higher Ground.

The old building thet wuz erbout to fall down is done ben fixed up an a man set out a lotz uv trees around it an all around the campus. The Prespyterians is got a new church but they aint got no cheers to set in and we hav to stand up fer meeting, cept they aint got no preacher yet- The Baptist is got a grand preacher, but they sole their church to the niggers. Ma, I ' m glad Pm a Methodist coz Bro. George is great and he keeps our church hot The girls is got a new matron — They say she ' s a darlin ' . I don ' t kno about her but I like Sonny Boy. The campus sho is pretty tc-day. The trees and shrul)bcry and fences is tee- totally covered with ice. It sho is unusual fer anything lak thet down here in the Delta, ain ' t it? Us Seniors choze our invitashuns Saturday. I ' ll send you and Pa one when they comes.

That the Hi-Y accomplishes its purpose is evident from the following statement made by our worthy superintendent: The S. A. H. S. with its splendid environment could not be what it is today without the influence of the Hi-Y. The theme of the conference held in Charleston was: We would see Jesus. Our delegation brought back the spirit and under the able leadership of our advisor Mr. B. D. McCallister, and president, James Miller, the club has merited praise from Mr. Blake Godfrey, State Y. M. C. A. worker. The father and sou ' s banquet held in the S. A. H. S. dining hall on Friday night February the first, was a fitting climax to the joyous, inspiring day which our fathers spent with us on the campus and in our conference. 65 Y. W. C. A. OFFICERS Y. M.

(With Apologies to Lincoln) More than eighty years ago there were brought forth to the American continent two new organizations conceived in brotherly love and dedicated to the transformation of character through Christian living. We of the S. J. C. are engaged in a great move- ment testing whether these organizations so conceived and dedicated shall continue to go forward. It is altogether fitting and propeir that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow these Christ- tian organizations. The brave men and women who gave them I)irth consecrated th,em far above our power to add or detract. It is for us, as students, to spread the associations which are already world wide in influence. It is for us to associate our efforts for the extension of His kingdom among young men and young women. We do highly resolve that these organizations shall not have been created in vain; that these fundamental principles in their patriotic service, under (Jod, shall continue; to prosper: and that these organizations shall point ever upward in their ideals. 66 � ILIill.

' ' — What a stirring, thrilling, gala day I Twice dui ' ing the school year — once in the late fall, and once in the eai ' ly spring — eveiy student is keyed to the high( st pitch. It is then that the girls don their snow-white dresses, and fly the ti-ue eolors of their beloved soeieties, and the l)oys are groomed to do lionor to the oecasion. On rall.v day opposing forces clash, .strug- gling for the sweet laurels of victoiy. No, no, not for personal honor or praise, but for the society of which the.v are members. Can a Philo sing, read, or pl;iy better tlian an Athenian? Can a Lanier declaim, debate, or play the comedian to a better advantage than an Olympian? i ll this must be decided when the societies hold their touiT.aiiieiit of the ])latform on the III! rn of I ' ally day. Then in the afternoon the fierce contest of the heads is switched to that of the heels, and never were the Olympic (lames more gripping in their interest thai; arc the athletic events on rally day. Oh, how those square-jawed Laniers and Olymps struggle on the grid-iron — even as fiercely as when they are phi.v- ii,;. ' for State championship. iHow they jump, run, and hurl the discuss as the |)(iints mount higher and higher determining the final score; while their fair s ' stei ' s, the Athenians and Philos play ball, broad-jump, and race as fleetly as ever did Atlanta, and no ininibei ' of aohh-n a])ples would stop them eitlier. At the close of the day, a tii ' ed, i ' estles(s, but happy and eager mob gathers for the final decisions, and amid tils of anxiety, smothered shouts, and gl:ostly gasps, the winners for the day arc announced. If you have never been present at this liour when the jury reads its verdict no words can ti ' uly ])ictui-e tliis to you. 70 skiEiriRHiSkii A iiiosl iHMiiiii-kiililc IVjitiii-i ' dl ' I ' Jilly (l;iy is Ihc riolilc s|)ii-it in wliidi victoi ' v (IcIViit iii ' c taken.

As the siicecss of the rally day (h ' lXMids wholly on the piwious ti ' aiTiiii r of the perfoi ' inei ' s, much stress is put on the Monday moininji ' pro rams of the individual secieties. Every student is put on the program often. The mem- bers vie with each other in iheir weekly ])rof ' i ' ams so that theii- best sluill represent them on i-ally days, and thus the primary pur])ose of the societies is gained, that of givin ' a well-i ' ounded developnu ' iit to the student alon all lines of literary and athletic endeavoi ' . Each society has its own sponsor, ehosen fi ' om the faculty, and much credit is due these faithful sponsors, who woik constantly, encoui ' aging and aiding the students to put forth their best. Some may ask, Just what is the student body ' s attitude toward their litei ' ary societies and rally days? We will answer by saying that last year Mr. Vandiver, desiring a true expression on this subject asked that each society hold a secret ballot vote on the ([uestion of whether or not the school should continue the societies and semi-annual i-ally days. When the ballot was cast and the votes counted, it was found that the students unanimously favored the literary societies and rally day. Indeed, S. A. H. S. would not l)e ou! ' dear Ole S. A. H. S. without the t)inding ties that make us foi-ever and evei- a true Athenian, Philomathean, Olympian or Lanier. Last year the first class was graduated from S. J. C. The great majority of this pioneer class had been loyal supporters on one of the literary societies of the S. A. H. S., before entering the S. J. C. and though they enjoyed Aveekly programs in a society of the whole college student liody known as the Van- tonian Society, they were not content without the competition that had spurred them to do and dare in high school. So in the spring of 1928, two college literary societies were organized. They are known as the Lee and Wilson Literary Societies. Of course, S. J. C. will be stronger, happier and wiser ejich year that new supporters are added to the Lee and Wilson ranks. Even now as this article goes to press the ambitious Lees and Wilsons are fighting for supremacy on platform and athletic field. 71 OFFICERS OF THE LITERARY SOCIETIES W 1 1, SON SdClKTV .lAMKs CKOWKLL President -JOHN T. viCKERS Vice-Pffsidcnf (iAHXIOTT IIARKISON Scc.

On tiu ' evening of February 22, Notiiing H it the Trutli was presented. The contest i)lay foi- the -Junior ( ' ollege Little Theater will be White Elephants, by Nicholson. The coniinencenient i lay has not yet been sele cted. The dramatic club is always assured of a large audience when it stages a play, for its fame has spread abroad. Likewise, the large audience is assured of a splendid performance, for Miss Kenneday would tolerate nothing less than a finished production from lier students. The debaters of the S. A. H. S. and S. J. C. are never off tlie job for they are featured on the JMonday nioi ' ning piogranis of their I ' espective societies and on all rally days. Then Fe))ruary and March bring the state and delta debat- ing contests so tliat there is a double demand on the time and energy of the contestants. Those who have represented their societies on rally days and those who expect to try out for the delta and state meets are : High School — Fields, Long, Hitch, Jenkins, Thomas, M., Brown, B. U., Bustin, Miller, J., Spencer, Dailey, D., College — Gray, Wasson, Crowell, Lucas, Stigler, Shurden, Lee, Dalton, Roberts and Casey. As a postscript to the above remarks penned a few weeks ago we are now able to add : In the delta meet held on IVIarch 19, Berry Brown and James Miller, rep- resenting the S. A. H. S., won a inianimous decision over the representatives from Greenville. In the state meet held on March 22, they won over all the affirmatives but were defeated in the finals by IMeridian. Meridian and the S. A. H. S. are the only schools in the state that have gone into the finals more than once. On March 29, Jeanelle Wasson and Billy Stingier won a unanimous de- cision over all opponents in the preliminaries and went into the finals with the Copiah-Lincoln Jimior College. Here also the decision was unanimously in favor of the S. J. C. This is the third siiccessive year that the S. J. C. has won in the Junior College debates. The success of our debating teams is ])ased largely on tlie spirit, enthusiasm and fine work of our coach Miss Stennis. 79 3I1|C dramatic Olluh OF S« A. H. S. and J. C.

Witli sev- eral of last year ' s rej ulai ' s a s((ua(l of new nieii — some (if llie best from tlie Ingli school teams in the delta — reported for the workout. On Sejjtember 29, the team went to Memphis to encounter tiie West Ten- nessee S. T. ( ' ., a four-year eolleoe of lor. - standin i-. It was to the credit of the S. J. ( boys that ihey held tlie sem-e 19 — 0. Next came the biggest game of tiie season, that with Delta State. Tlie S. ( ' . team started off with a rush and fight tliat di ' ew admiration and surpi-ise from all. D. S. T. ( ' . .scored first. Tlien the Aggies received and liid not lose the iiall nntil tlu ' y had crossed the last white markei ' . The reserve strengtii nf the teachers enabletl them to i)ut in fi ' tsh meu ai;d to wear o it the Aggies witii a 26 — 6 victory. In the third game, played witii Clai ' ke College at Newton, Cornbread Wilson and his cohorts got the best of us. Our team fought like demons but th(- scoi ' e was 3; — 6 in favor of ( larke. Tn these tiii ' ce games our boys played teams of supei ' ior cxixMier.ce and strength. They fought and bled but they never died. In the fi llowiug games tluy were to prove that they were still on the maj). The game with Hinds Junior College was a mighty .sti ' uggle. Both teams fought hard to carry the ball into the promised land. ' ' During the third qnai ' ter Yickei ' s broke through the Raymond line, l)locked a punt and scoi-ed two ])oints. The Maroon and Black waved victorions by that two point margin. The Southwestern Bob-Cats boasted of the best team in the history of the school. Tlie Aggies tackled them. The Bob Cats made two touchdowns dur- ing the first quarter. During the second quarter they were held scoreless and when the half ended the S. J. C. was only two yards short of a touchdown. The Bob Cats made two other touchdowns. The Aggies scored in the last period on a long pass from Pratt to Vickers who carried the oval 35 yards. Tate Junior College had a strong team — so strong that the continuous drive of Sunflower brought the Aggies near the goal many times only to be stopped by Tate ' s wall. During the fourth quarter Rush picked up a fumble and raced forty yards for a touchdown. Pratt kicked goal and the game ended 7 — 0. Copiali-Lir.coln had a luird-hitting, fasf line iij). The side lines and grand staiul were filled with enthusiastic boosters. The Aggies wei ' e fille l with determination to win, and win they did to the tune of 20 — 6. On November 23, Mississippi Heights Academy came down to stop Captain Crook and his farmers. Rush started the scoring early in the first quarter by intercepting a pass and traveling 45 yards for a touchdown. At the end of the third quarter the game was called to a blose on account of darkness. The score stood 38 — 0 against IMississippi Heights. On Wednesday befoi ' e Turkey Day the S. J. C. met the Holmes County aggregation at Goodman. Captain Crook received the first kick-off of the game. He was tackled and unfortunately received a severe cut on the head. He was forced from the game. The Sunflower boys carried on but missed that di-iving power of their leader. Goodman scored in the first and third (piarters but failed to kick goal. In the third quarter Stroud tore through the enemy ' s line for ten yards and a touchdown. Pratt kicked goal. The Aggie boys again carried the i� ;dl within i-lose reacli of the goal, but lost on a fumble. The game and the season ended with the ball on Gondman ' s 15 yard line and the score 12 — 7 in favor of Goodman. 1 h � 9 w il JEiriRII)SIPIECT Thomas Bustiii B. A.

This game was of much intei ' est to the football fans of Sunflower County and a goodly num- b(r were i)resent to Avitness the scrap i)efween Drew and the S. A. II. S. Hood, a sub-halfback, was the luminary of the game. The hard-fought battle oided — Aggies 12, Drew 0. The strong Choctaw Aggies were the next on schedule. The Sunflower team left their eami)us in good spirits, in spite of the fact that four of the I ' egular line-men were unable to make the trip. Although the game was fought in clouds of dust, and the weather was miserably hot, both teams put up a good fight and when the final whistle Avas blown the score was 6 — 6. The Aggies met Kilmichael Nov. 2, on a muddy gi ' idiron. There were many long runs made by both teams, and some good punting was displayed. The opponents threatened the Aggie goal line several times, but never could cross it. Coleman, a half-back, received a punt and dashed forty-five yards foi ' a touchdown. Couch and Holaday made some spectacular plays. The game ended 13 — 0 — another victory for the Sunflower Aggies. An open date was filled with Inveniess High School. This was a very good game. InA ' erness shot volleys of passes throughout tlie game, but was not successful in completing many of them. The Inverness line failed to stop the fast offtackle runs of Ballard and Couch. Inverness threatened to score several times, but the game ended, Inverness 7, S. A. H. S. 20. The annual game between the Aggies and Leland was played Nov. 16, at Leland. The Aggies, realizing the strength of their opponents, put up the best fight of the entire season. Leland managed to score by covering a fumble in the first quarter. The Aggie Eleven was more determined than ever to redeem themselves after suffering a defeat from the Leland squad last year, and the final score was 12 — 6 in favor of the Aggies. The closing game of the season was played with Greenville at Greenville on Thanksgiving Day. At times the Aggie P]leven showed evidence of un- mistakal)le power and threatened to score several times in the last half of the game, but luck and the Greenville boys were hard opponents. The game Avas a decisive victory for Greenville, but not as much so as the 19 — 0 score indi- cated. This Avas the last game that many of the Aggie players avouUI CA-er enter as high school men. T-uck to them in their college football careers ! 95 JE¥IR |)$PIECT PEEWEES CHEER LEADERS In this short space we wisli to express appreciation of our Peewees and GUI cheer leaders. The athletic department would be very incomplete without either. Peewees often grow to be men and often come to make the backbone of the varsity teams. Those who do not have the hopes of taking on enough height and weight to become varsity men should receive special commendation for their untiring efforts in keeping up the Peewee fight, for they it is who ai ' c not to be rej aid l)y winning fame on some college team. Our Peewees had a good team and under the leadership of Coach Everett and Captain Leo Miller showed their mettle in some interesting and hard fought games. They were not always victorious ])ut tlieir colors always fh ' w high and their spirit was excellent. To our elieer leaders enough i)i ' aise can not ))e sung. Wlien the game was the most exciting they kept the crowd yelling and singing. When hick seemed against us they redoul)led their efforts. It can l)e truly said that games are often lost or won on tli( sidelines. Thanks to our cheer leaders ard tile students wiiom they so ably led, our games were not lost on the side- lines. Three clieers for Elizabetli Strickhmd, and Sam McClain and others who assisted them from time to time! !tt) COLLEGE BASKET BALL AVitli the return of four 1928 letter men, Captain Viekers, Rush, Fleming and Aust, and the strength gained from the addition of some nf our very best higii school gi ' aduates, the success of the 8. J. C. basketeers seemed assured. Business picked up with Rush and Fleming at forward; Pi ' att, Duna- way and Aust at guard; and ( ' ai)tain Viekers at center. Stroud, M. Fox, L. Fox, Vaughn, Patterson and Butler served at various times througliout games and gave every evidence of first string men. After four straight victories over strong independent teams, the S. J. C. met defeat at the hands of Tate County Junior College. The first game of the series was lost by two points; the second by three points. Tiiis defeat was evened up in tlie next two games with tlu Tate boys. In two of the fastest games evei ' played on the local t ' lnor, the Sunflower Junior College got sweet revenge. Backed by the cheei ' ing of a wildly enthusiastic student body, our team played to the limit and showed better form than at any other time during the season. Both games w ere filled with thrills from beginning to end. OtluM- games were played witli the Hinds Jr. College, Clarke Memorial, The Southwestern Bob Cats and Delta State. Though the Asgies kept the sjiii ' it, they were greatly handicapped by the loss of several of their best men. Viekers was out permanently on account of illness and others were kept out all during the flu epidemic. Just as this report goes in, the team is preparing to attend the tourna- ment at Memphis. The line up has been strengthened since the flu epidemic and has great hopes of making an excellent showing in the tournament. 97 (ETIRII ' SIPIECT HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL Althoiifi-li the reults of the ' 29 hrislvct hall season sliow that oiii- team Avas outpointed a hit hy tlie opponents, it eannot he said that our fellows failed to exhihit the true fighting: spirit, (ianie aftei- iMine they displayed the best of sportsmanship hy their undying- sjiirit altliougli the score was against tliem. Much j)raise is due ( oach Fenton and Captain Couch for tiie creditable showing made. The material for the season incluiU ' d only two of last year ' s five, ' ' Couch and Hood, forwards. Their pasvsing and goal throwing counted greatly in the success of the Aggies. A. P. Brown, most efficient center, showed m- questionable ability in offensive and defensive playing. Domino, running guard, and Williams, standing guard, iield down their .iol)s in a very etfective manner. Altliougli Hunter Pi-att was not a regular forward, he was used often and always gave a good accomit of himself. The outstaiuling subs were: Long, Oden and Carst. Besides these there were others wlio showed their loyalty and faithfidness thi ' oughout the season. 98 11 9 ?9 - { BASEBALL The hiischall tetiiu of 1!)2.S. iiiatk ' up of l)()tli High School and College l)oys liad a most successful season, winning all liigh school games, losing cnly one college game and tying one. Couch filietl the catcliers position while Allen and Hockley were on the mound- AVith Ballard on tii ' st, Slaughter on second. Brown short-stop, and Gray third, it was hard for the opPonents to score, or even made a hit. Aust, Watson, and Fleming handled the heavy hitting artillery when there was any. The team had a high batting average. Those who led were, Hallard, l- rown, Allen, Buckley, Watson and Fleming. Tlie opjionents knew what to expect whe one of these boys took the bat. The season for 192!) will vii ' tually open with the great game between tli ' : ' Olympians and Laniers on rally day, IMareh 15. From then on the rivalry wi ' l l)e between the Aggies as a whole and othei- schools and independent teams. Many of our fellows are eager for a chance to swing the bat and we predict some exceptionally good games on th old diamond. 99 100 likjEiriRii ' S ' IT College Track Tlic Ifl S li-;ici scjison ;is ;i yi ' Cilt success.

The wearers of the Red and White made a most creditable showing at the Delta Field ] leet last session. Dunaway, who was scarcely known up to this time, brought himself into the limelight by out racing the famous Morga n of Ruleville in the mile race.

They always studied hard at nii;lit and knew their lessons well, There wasn ' t a rule in Kimlish that Miss Thonuie couldn ' t tell. Mr. Jones had finished C ' a( sar when he was ten years old, . nd knew (he Si)anisli Alphabet as soon as he was told. Miss Turner always rose at six o ' ehck, she never stayed in bed. She even heeded evrything the superintendent said. Mr. Vandiver never thought of play until his work was done, He often worked from break of day until the set of sun. Mrs. Mac sat up in study hall and never made a noise, Miss Stennis never in her life was known to look at l)oys. Miss Penrod and Miss Fox knew Algebra by heart. They never had to study, for they knew it from the start. Buchanan never did get caught because he went to town. He never smoked a cigarette when teachers weren ' t around. When Mr. Fenton went to school and made the football team. He never did break training — I ' ll bet he was a scream. Everett never looked at girls but studied chemistry, And why the teacher was so dumb he really couldn ' t see. And even Mr. Martin — you ' d think that he was mean, But really he was the meekest boy that you have ever seen. Miss Yancey never had a date, she never had the time, She was always studying sewing and things along that line. Miss Hester never burned a cake but cooked it golden brown, And dear little Annie Kenneday was the talk of all the town. The girls all fell for Mr. McCallister, who was the high school dude, He wouldn ' t even look at them — I think that he was rude. Miss Smith and Mr. Dobbins both practiced all day Icng, They could play the hardest pieces and never got them wrong. Mrs. Chambley always tiptoed when she walked across the floor. She never did misplace a book or s ' am t he library door. The teachers didn ' t fuss ab uit the tilings to eat at meals. The girls all wore long dresses and never wore h ' gh heels. There never were inspections: they never needed rules. I tell you folks, there were seme saints when our teachers went to school. V.
