T Copyright 1930 THE RETROSPECT STAFF MOORHEAD MISSISSIPPI FOREWORD Life ' s g-reatcst treasure is memories, and some of our most ])leasaut reeollectioiis center around oui ' school days. Therefore, on these pag-es we have sought to so catcli and l)orti-a. - llic atmosphere of life on our campus that the mem- ories of the school year 1 ' 30 and the fleeting hours spent in the shadows of her venerable halls may be a part of our future li es. DEDICATION ' Ti s the Sunflower Si irit ! () v much is iniplied in thoso few Avoi ' ds. All lliat makes for hard work; all that makes for clean sports and fair play; all that has tau.yht us to take victory or defeat; all that has made us strive to succeed and lias encouraged us onward; all that has carried us hapj ily through this institution; in fact, all that we are today, we owe it to this intangible some- thing called si)irit. Thus, we reverently dedicate this, the sixth volume of the Retrospect, to The Sunflower Spirit.

' ) per cent of all our students have passed three subjects, and more than 75 ])ei- cent have ])asse(l (ui all their subjects. This wonderful record does not come by chance, it is a result of faithful teaching and of line resp( nsi -eness on the i); ' .rt of the students.

Conic to think of it, oiir eaiiiinis would sul ' t ' er a somewhat cousidei ' ahle loss in this trans])ositioii. In the first jilace, our already diiiiinished possiliilit ' of winninji ' the Southern (lood Looks ' roiirney would heeoiiie an iiii|)ossil)ility with the i);issinfi- of Mcssi ' s.

Tlie loss of K. Pyron and Welch would mean a tragedy to our football team of next session! To lose D. and L. P razier and Clarke would mean the loss of our most noble examples to the younger students, Irre])arable 1 1 At the astounding revelation of these incredil)le losses we shout, liring back, bring back. Oh! bring back the -luniors to us. But how would our junior class spend the monotonous hours of an ocean voyage ' ? Some of my guesses are : Helen Donald would consume a major part of the time in an attempt to persuade the chambermaid that dog catchers should be appointed and not elected by poi)ular vote. Howell Anders, would be ecpially assiduous in persuading the chef that the proposed thirteen month calendar is the only solution to the despicable plight of Russia. Lucille Burke, Leslie Gregory and Adelle Helms woiUd spent! their working hours writing advice to the lovelorn. Fred Thomas and Oscar Twitchell would gaze jilacidly into the ocean mirror admiring tliemselves in real Xarcissus-like style with Thomassine Holmes and ] lary Carcli i)laying Echo ' s role. Goss, Harvey Pyron, and Kent would attempt to persuade the sodajerker that the low price of cotton is ruining the silk stocking industry. Lola Daily would persist in centering the table talk in the merits of weight technique ' in piano playing. Catherine Marshall and Virginia Mansfield would insist on singing duets at all the vessel ' s social fetes. Jeanette Fuller and Frank Marshall would delight the passengers with fancy goo-goo eyeing. Ruby Lee Embry would show them how its done — basket-ballically speak- ing. Rolalie Ellison, Bobbie Cook, Avis Hodges, and Mildred flraham would- conclude the day in rendering — quartette style — Perfect Day. But should our jolly juniors become homesick and turn their thoughts yearningly toward the i)aternal roof and familiar haunts Harold Clark woidd come to their rescue and with liis .strategy and craft effect a return — one filled with surprises and thrills but. nevertheless, one which would bring ' all safelj ' to the homeland. .A.

This is one of the greatest mystery stories of the year. The climax is centered on the raid which was made on Mis. Hughes ' ice box. The only clue was a bunch of red hairs left in a nick in the wall. After careful deduction the great detective, Joe Woodruff, by his Special Method of Criminology and Hairology, found the members of this dastard league to be J. B. Hughes, Jack Coleman, and Lee McClain. Their mothers put them on black angel food cake and white wine for thirty days. THE CORRESPONDENCE CENTER— By Vera Spivey They laughed as he strolled upon the gridiron. He was five feet and weighed only ■11. ' ) pounds. Nevertheless, he walkd as if he were a giant. With 20-inch steps he paced back and forth. He thinks he can play football, someone shouted. He never liad one in his hand before, said another. But at this moment the whistle broke the silence. As the opposing captain ' s toe met the ball, it sailed right intcj our lero ' s arms. Immediately he started out at a great pace; everyone was holding his breath. One-two-three four-five-six tried to tackle him and still he went on. Only one man between him and the goal. This was the terrible Red Grange. They met squarely on the goal line and when the dust settled — A Touchdown!!! How did you do it? — Where did you learn it? Smilingly, Paul Seigel said, I learned it through the S.A.H.S. con espondence course — guaranteed in three lessons. HOW I RUU)N THE BAND— By Fred Bri irn.stei7i. In this novel, Fred tells how he ru(i)ns the band when he is called upon. I have one of the best saxophones made-bought from Sears Roebuck for $15.00: but it is guaranteed not to turn. Last night everyone was out of tune but me and they laughed at me. But just the same, they know who ru(i)ns this band now. • ' 57 WAYS OF CUTTING CHAPEL ' —By Ralph Carpenter. In this volume the author sets forth his varied means of cutting chapel and ex- plains the ways of escaping Mrs. Mack ' s watchful eye, should he come in tardy. His ways have been proven successful by Cris Campbell, Ruth Keen, and J. B. Marshall. GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDS— By June Owen. The author gives us her views on this subject: Certainly gentlemen prefer blonds and why not? Where there ' s light there ' s heat. We sincerely agree with the author as to blonds but what about the red-heads? rr AN HOE— By Clifton Rushing. Little Sut tells of a Rushing life at the S.A.H.S. But his adventures end at last with 50 hours, a hoe. and free labor in the school garden. A TALE OF TWO CITIES— By Viola Eastland. The great American novel is almost synonymous with the name of Miss Eastland, in the inimitable way the author weaves this romance, the scene of which is laid alternately in Doddsville and INIoorhead.

WORDS AND THEIR WAYS IN ENGLISH SPEECH By Julius Worley A series of valuable documents and letters collected by the author from the study- hall floor. An up-to-date, comprehensive book for the amateur writer. This volume contains letters signed by Viola Eastland, Roy Williams, Sudie Pearl Oates, and Joe Morris. The author apologizes for the absence of certain letters of mark which were meant for this compilation but which were eased away from him by the studv-hall faculty. .A. .A .A 1 O 3 O ▲ .A. .A ▲ f)5 FRESHMAN CLASS BOYS Wii.sox Cai.dwki.i.

A (lee)) siyii followed the iiis|)e( ' tion of the little old man. A harrowing ' doubt arose, but with eoui-ajic born of (les|)eration he decided he would try it. The foUowinji ' day found him sitting; ' at a desk in front of a •••roui) of young: men and women who looked at him easferly. From habit he pulle(l his beard. ' ■ Mr. Hendricks, will you oblii e me by stei)i)in ' torward ' ' .Mr. Hendricks came forward. Now. sir, I luive a li |uid here which T — Got a chaser. ' asked the cautious ' Sir. Hendricks.

He di ' ank it and then went into an action that reseudiled very much a modei-n dance called The breakaway. Good heavens 1 he shouted, I ' m the; tramp ti-anstig ired ! The rest of the cla.ss ru.shed forward in an attempt to get some of the magic fluid. A bonny and ])uxom lassie called by many, Her Jenkins, and by others, names best not to record, was the first to the bottle. Does it contain any fat? she asked anxiously. Upon receiving a negative rei)ly, she gulped down a tumblerful. Her exam])le was followed by the rest of the group. They were requested to sit down. They all did. Suddenly -I. H. Hughes ran to the window and hung his head out. He was followed l).v Ray Williams. Dr. Turner shook his head sadly, 1 knew there would be similar residts. Knowledge cannot be digested successfully by some. Now, let us continue, class, as if nothing had happened. Mr. Hughes and Mr. Williams, you two, may go to the hospital. May J go, too? asked ( hristo])liei- ( Tmpbell, r ibbing his a])dominal cavity. We will please have order. Now we shall continue with Socrates ' philo- .sophy. Miss McClain, what was Socrates ' opinion of the divorce evil? I know cried Loui.se Matthews. He says it ' s the spice of life. Gosh! exclaimed Lester Frasier, I ' m just hiccui)ing with knowledge. If the class will come to ordei ' , we will resume our study, said Dr. Turner. Now, this (|uestion, ladies and gentlemen, has been batTling the wisest lieads of ps} ' cholog ' — What is the youth of to-day coming to? As one man, the class arose and answered, To school ' ' .

( ' . A. and the Y. V. ( ' . A. We love tliem and shall ever uphold the high standai-ds that they .set forth. Although meml)ershi|) is not comi)idsory, fidly 85 per cent of the students enrolled in oui- College are members of the Y and atteinl the meetings regularly. In these meetings, which are held once a week, the nu nbers are bi-ouglit into close personal contact and learn to love each other more. Eacb meml)er has the pi-ivilege of ex])ressing his opinion. Thus we ai ' e brought closer to- gether and are better able to uud(M ' staud the view jioint of our fellow st ulents. The Y is essentially a religious organization, but besides serving in this cai)acity it also reaches out and touches every phase of a st ulent ' s life. If there are cei-tain practices on the cam])us that are detrinu ' utal to the school or to the student body, the (|uestion is immediatel.v submitted to the Y, ' ' which then pledges itself to give its supi)oi-t in helpiui; ' to abolish such practices. Besides the i-cligious and moi ' al side of the Y there is also a social side. The Y spoii.sors delightful .socials tluit add zest to campus life. On Hallowe ' en night the two organizations, uiulei ' the guidance of Mr. Swor, planned and carried out a Hallowe ' en party that would have done credit to organizations much older than our own. We have i)lanned to have some socials this si)ring and all are eagerly awaiting the events. ] Iay the Y continue to grow in the future as it has in tlie past until it has a one hundred per cent membershij) of the ( ollege boys and girls. In after years when we return to our Alma Mater may we say with jiride and love, There is an organization to which 1 belonged and one that has brought me into a finer relationship with my fellownuui and with my maker. 103 O ▲ A ▲ A 63 Hi-Y President ......

John Rainer The characteristics of the Hi-Y have made it prominent as a fundamental factor in the success of the school. The aim of the club is to have each member carry out the ideals of the organization, which are: 1. Loyalty to our school, homes, churches and Hi-Y orsanization. 2. Reverence for the ideals of home, church, and society. 3. Honesty in complete abstinence from any form of lying, stealing, cheating and gambling. 4. Cleanliness in body and mind. 5. Altruism in our every relation to others. 6. Earnestness in the promotion of systematic, daily bible reading. The activities of the Hi-Y Club are two-fold: Those activities centering in oiir ca ' mpus life, and those promoted by the organization off the campus. The work pro- moted by the club on the campus includes a very active participation and direction of the social life of the school. As an organization the Hi-Y promotes organized social events, such as the colorful Thanksgiving Festival and The Spring Outing. It par- ticipates with the three other Christian organizations in the staging of innumerable joint events. Probably the greatest triumph of the Club each year is the Father and Son Banquet. On the evening of January 2Ith two-hundred and thirty three dads and sons met in the di ning hall, which was brilliant with festive decorations. There, for several hours, gcod speeches, good eats and good fellowship reigned supreme. Off the campus our Club does a considerable bit of extension work among the other clubs of the county. Our delegates have participated in the district conference, all the monthly cabinet meetings, and acted as hosts to the annual Sunflower County Hi-Y Conference. .A.

Our club serves to bring our hearts together in a closer feeling of friendship. We are fortunate in having an enthusiastic and capable adviser in Mrs. Chambley. In her we find a friend who is ever ready to show her love and a willingness to share our troubles. No less praiseworthy is the work of Miss Turner who has been a constant guide and has offered us many helpful suggestions. Oh Girl Reserves, we ' ll ever loyal be.

Wluit a stirring, thrilling, gala day! Twice during the school year — once in the late fall, and once in tlu ' early spi ' ing — every student is keyed to the highest i)itch. It is then that the girls don their snow-white dresses, and fly the true colors of their beloved societies, and the boys are gi ' ooiiu ' d to do honor to the occasion. On rally day op})osiug forces clash, each stiMiggling for the sweet laurels of victory. No, no, not tor ])e) ' sonal honor or praise, but for the society of which they are members, A most remarkable featin-e of rally day is the noble sjiirit in which victory and defeat are taken. This spii ' it has been constaidly cultivated thi-oughout the years. The winners, though hapi)y in triumph, are not gloating oi- boastful and see much room for imjjrovenuMit even in victory, while the defeated regret that their efforts were not stronger, but realize that there is victory in defeat if it means a determiiuition to come stronger ne.xt time. The societies are governed and conducted l)y the students. Each has, how- ever, a spon.sor or advisor, chosen fi-om the faculty. At all the weekly meetings the advisors are ])resent and much credit is due these faithful ones who woi ' k constantly, eiU ' ouraging and aiding tlie .stiulents to ])ut forth their best. If someone should ask, Are the literary societies populai- among the students? the answer would be; Y( s the student body is one hundred per- cent foi- these oi ' gani ations. Even the college has oi-ganized two societies. In the spring of 1928 tiu college society, then known as Yantonian. was divided and became the exi.sting Wilson and Lee Literary Societies, Three times within tlu ' last two years they have contested with gi ' cat zest against each oilier on the ])latform and athletic field.

The first loss as well as the first time for our team to be scored on during the season came at the hands of the light but fast Rosedale team.

For five quarters we battled to see who should play for Dfelta Championship but neither could gain the supremacy.

We agreed for Clarksdale to go ahead and play for Champion ' -hip as their record appeared somewhat better than ours. 8. A. II. S. 6— Greenville 7. The second defeat of the season was given to us by our rivals of long standing, Greenville High. Though we fought them hard and weie almost able to carry the ole ball over for the winning score many times, the Hornets w ould not be downed and as the whistle blew to end the game Greenville siili had a one point margin on us. Thus the season ended. Though we did not win a Championship we were still winners, as we had played every team hai-d and fair, and we were good losers.

Durins the season when our college and high school varsity teams are training and working so hard to win their games, the noble little peewees are working equally as hard. This is a great inspiration toi the other teams of our school, in particular, and to the spirit of the school in general. From the Peewee ranks valuable men are developed for our varsity teams. Here in the peewee games, boys find that they have potential powers they never- dreamed they had — Men who have developed into valuable players from the Peewee ranks are such men as Rush, Bustin, and Watson, Under the able direction of their beloved coach, Carl Everett, the Peewees have had a most successful season. Of the five games played, the Peewees won three, tied one, and lost one, making a total score of 79 points to the opponents ' 37. The first game was played with the strong Inverness team. Both teams battled long and hard, but as the final whistle blew the score ended 6 to 0 for Inverness. The next game was with the varsity team of Itta Bena on the Itta Bena gridiron. The game ended 20 to 19 for the Peewees. Morgan City was the next to humble themselves to the superior fighting spirit of the mighty little Aggies. The game ended 6 to 0 for the Peewees. Our next game was played with the Mississippi Romans. The result was a 33 to 0 victory for the Aggie Peewees. Our next game and last game was played on our own gridiron with Morgan City. Morgan City was determined to avenge the defeat they had suffered at the be§:inning of the season. But the Peewees would not yield, the result was a 6 to 6 deadlock. The regular line up for the Peewees is; Stone, Red Graves, Goss, Franklin Spencer, Dixon Fraiser, Harvey Pyron, John Miller, Starr, Rushing, Anders. Worley and Woodrow Spencer. Other Peewees who were always ready to help the cause are Newell, Jrines, Henry, Price, Marshall, Carter, Paul Graves, Hendricks and Sturdivant, is M. Jk. .A J O A. A A A 93 3 A i - S COLLEGE BASKET BALL Thr Basket Ball Team that foiigiit under the Maroon and Black of 19:{0 was, by far, the best team ever to play for the S.J.C. In every line of play the team proved its strength. We are indeed proud of the record made, even though we did not always make as big a score as the opponent. Afte-F ky k-i- g e-ver the material-  trt t p i Fa ' ti«e- im- the fi-F t ti-HW we were grattftetl to find that four of the letter men of lf)29 had returned and that four of (lie players from the famous Wheeler team had come to join us. The team started off with a rush l)y winnin.i; two straiglit .games from the strong Greenville Independent team, and two more from the Belzoni Independents. We met and defeated some of the strongest Junior and Senior Colleges of both Mississippi and Tennessee. We defeated Delta State Teacher ' s Colle.ge twice and were, in turn, de- feated twice by them. W e triumphed over the West Tennessee Teacher ' s College only to be defeated by them at the Tcurnament. Then tht sad part came, we had won thirteen games and lost only two and then our unlucky star began to use its power. We tried to get off the unlucky number thirteen but it was all in vain; we played the same teams that we had previously defeated only to be beaten by a small score. This Jinx followed us the rest of the season and we were defeated by the Newton County Junior College by a score of 36 to 28 in the State Junior College Tournament on March 1. ' !. The regular five are B. Ai ' nold, C. Graham, Vickers, Steele and Rush. Other men who played in enough games to earn a letter, are Strange, O. Graham, Dunaway, Pat- terson, G. Brown, and McCormick. The Subs who were ever loyal and who played from time to time are. Crook, Bustin, Mitchim, Allred and Aust. HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL Many teams of the delta can vouch for the fact that the Aggie basket ball team of 1929 and ' ;?0 was the strongest to come from the S. A. H. S. In years and was second to none in the delta. We are justly proud of the record made. Of the fifteen games played during the season we won ten and lost five. We went to the semi-finals in the delta tournament, losing to the strong Crowder team by a score of ;57 to 32, after having played two strong teams earlier in the day. Ihider the able coaching of Coach Fenton, and tlif leadership of Captain A. P. lirown, tlie team set a record that Aggie teams of after years may well strive to attain. Garst and Williams ably held down the guard positions. Rarely was an opposing player able to get by these two alert .guards? for a Crip Shot under the goal. At center. Captain Brown was ever anxious for the game to get started. He was one of our hardest workers and was at the top cf the list in scoring for the teams. With Hunter Pratt and Lester Fraiser playing the forward positions, there was little chance for an opposing team to be very far in the lead when the final whistle blew. Besides the regular fine playei ' s mentioned above, other men who helped win many games and always demonstrated the true Aggie Spirit are, Domino, L. Jones, Helms. Stephens, Anderson, and Sartor. M.

C. won seven and lost two others by the margin of one or two points. The games played in the S. J.

I O v3 O ▲ A ▲ ▲ 96 HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL On December 13, we played our first game of the year. We defeated the strong, fast Shaw team with a score of 48 to 22. The pass work of the S.A.H.S. team was the talk everywhere. From December 13 to February 28 the Sunflower Aggie Sextette played eleven games. We lost only two of these games, both to Inverness, one with the margin o£ one point and one with a margin of five points. Hark! to the horn of Old Catelina that was awaiting us at 10:40 February 28 eager to carry us to Greenwood to play our first game in the Delta tournament. At one o ' clock we met Webb. Mildred Crook waved her magic wand over the ball and made 50 points. Lena Brown, equally as good as Crook, fed the ball to her. Lena made 21 points, making a total of 71 points to Webb ' s 6 points. On the next day we played Marks. Rushing and Carch played in high. The ball went to Marks only a few times and then Embry and Hughes, usually turned it back. The final score was 42 to 19 in favor of The S.A.H.S. At seven o ' clock Inverness and S. A. H. S. met in the Greenwood gym. Every member on our team went into the game with a determination to win, or make it hot for the opposition. The ball goes up. Every one for the S. A. H. S. has a question mark on his face — Is Rushing going to get the tip off? ' Well she did. Carch got the ball. It went to Brown and straight to Crook, and in less than ten seconds a two point goal was made. We led Inverness with a margin of seven points till the third quarter, and then they got within one point of us; and finally in the fourth quarter they got three points ahead of us. Rushing fouled out — Inverness saw victory, they thought, but Helms, an allround good player, took her place and the score changed: S.A.H.S. led again with a three point margin. Thus the score stood when the game was over. Mrs. McCallister heaved a long sigh of relief. That was her privilege. This game put us in the finals for the Delta. We met Cleveland on the following Friday night, March 7, and won the game 34 to 13. On the next night we played Shaw in the finals. We fought hard — but here we met our match; Shaw fought also. The final score was 32 to 28. Shaw was the Delta Champs. We will go to the state tournament on March 14. Let us hope that our machine can be better oiled and our head work and skill better combined, so that we ' might mystify floor work to out-smart our opposition. This year we had few reserves, but what few we did have were good and always ready to come to the rescue of the first players. These were: E. Matthews, C. Mc- Clain, E. Sheffield, and Adelle Helms. M. Jk. .A 103 O ▲.AAA 97 COLLEGE TRACK Now that spring is here and all nature is teeming with life we, too, catch the spirit of spring and wish to show our mastery over some one, to excel in some indivi- dual sport. In ages past our forebears gave an outlet to this feeling by trying to catch the biggest game, to excel in the chase. The same spirit prompts us today. When spring comes we want to doff the basket ball suits and foot ball togs of the team games and put on the light airy track suits and follow the cinder path. The 1929 season was by far the most successful ever enjoyed by S.J.C. considering the competition we had. This year we are expecting even a more successful year. We have the whole of last year ' s track team besides many new high school stars and nothing short of outstanding victories in our track meet this spring will approacli our expectations. Last season, of the nine Junior Colleges represented in our track meet, held at Moorhead, we were second, being nosed out by Hinds County Junior College by one and a half points. Vickers was high point man of the whole meet, winning first place in three events, discus, javelin, and sliot put, and second in the high jump. Rush was another star winnin.g two first places, the hundred and the two-twenty yard (lashes. He placed second in a third event, the 440 yard dash, besides being on the track team that won second place. Other winners were: Lindsey, winner of the half mile run; Dunaway, second in the mile race; and Pratt winner of the high hurdles and second in the low hurdles. The above mentioned composed the relay team. Fleming contributed his share by winning second in pole vault, losing first place by a small margin. Men who are making a good showing this season are: Oden, Snddutli, Vickers, Hush, Dunaway, Lindsey, Patterson, O. Graham, and Winston. M. A I O v3 O ▲ A A ▲ Its A RETROSPECT ..

The entire season was played with an unblemished record as far as victories and defeats go, until the final game when we lost to Wesson by a large score. This was the State Championship game and we felt the defeat very keenly. Couch and Crook filled the catcher ' s position, while Buckley and Pratt capably took care of the pitching staff of the team. Pratt, while not pitching, played third base position On short we had Gray, on second Rush, while Ballard was ever ready to put ' cm out on first. Watson, Fleming and Aust were in the outfield and when an opponent was lucky enough to get the ball out of the in-field, we were confident that the ball would fall into the waiting glove of one of our alert outfielders. To the opposing team our batters were a terror. Rarely did one of our players fail to get at least one hit in each game. Those who had the highest batting average were Pratt, Aust, Ballard, Gray and Rush, while the other members of the team were not far behind with their batting average. We have high hopes for the success of our team this spring even though we did lose several valuable players. At least the team will not be out-fought, because now we can hear the swish of the bat and the sharp sound of the ball as it sails out over tire field. With the Sunffower Spirit and a hard working team, under the excellent coaching of our most excellent Coach Joe Martin we are harboring the fond dream of state championship. Those who expect to enter the contest for places on the team are: Crook, Buckley, Watson, Aust, Rush, Hammack, Alias, Pratt, H., Slaughter, Middleton, and Stokley. . 1030 Jk. JL.

OUR FRIEND It has always been a characteristic of human nature not to appreciate a good thing until it is gone. Even Shakespeare was not honorel by his own people as he is by the people of today. My purpose in writing this is in honor of a friend that has been much criticized and knocked — in fact it is full of knocks itself but each of its knocks is knocked in an effort to help another. Cataline has been all and even more than any of her forefathers were. How could one of so frail a body and organs expect to hold up under the terrible strain that has been placed on her. She has been driven, beaten, cursed, and even kicked, and has on certain occasions, even kicked back when her neck was being twisted in an effort to make her go. So let us all honor Ole Cataline who has given us so many bumps and good times. Its a cinch that anyone who has ever ridden on her cushioned seats will never forget her. S. Rush. M. A .A 1 0 -3 O A.
