THE RETROSPECT 1936 Sunflower Agricultural High School and Junior College MOORHEAD, MISSISSIPPI Foreword It is the purpose of this book to try to capture in black and white a little of that intangible some- thing called the Sunflower Spirit. If the 1936 Retrospect is able, in the years to come, to revive that spirit in the memories of former students, we will consider our task a success. Dedication 1 0 the people in all walks of life who, as citizens, taxpayers, lawmakers, teachers, and students, do their part in making education a real factor in the betterment of our nation and our civilization, this vol- ume is dedicated. CONTENTS 1. School 2. Classes 3. Athletics 4. Features SOROOt From Our President This is my message to you, my friends, and they are the truest words a man shall ever write. The days you have spent here, the friendships you have made, and the knowledge of work well done will be the choic- est of all your memories as the years pass and your understanding of life deepens. These happy hours will be somehow your most enduring possession. And this also I would say to you; no man or insti- tution rises above his or its ideals. We have endeav- ored through the years to set a high standard of student- ship and morality on our campus. The spirit and fel- lowship of this school is our choicest tradition. As you go your way in life endeavor to carry some of the ideals of your Alma Mater with you. Cherish the memory of your school days and make it a part of yourself. We have arrived at a new era in the development of this institution and we look confidently to the future believing that better days are ahead, and the faculty joins me in pledging to you, our students and friends, the last full measure of our love, devotion, and service.

As classroom teachers we consider them good but they ore probably not much stronger than the average faculty of any school. The best and most ad- mirable quality of our faculty is the spirit of fellowship between the faculty and students. This has been one of the greatest factors in the successes which our school has enjoyed. 15 Board of Trustees SUNFLOWER COUNTY R. M. YARBROUGH, President, Indianola A. M.

But the universal feeling is one of thankful- ness that we were able to get a good educa- tion through S. J. C. Were there no Junior Colleges many of us would not have been able to attend any school after finishing high school. We are profoundly grateful to the educational system which is responsible for the Junior College, because it has enabled us to go to school. But mere attendance at school gives no one an education. Attendance at Sunflower, however, is a step that makes education much easier. For this reason we are even more grateful to those who have made S. J. C. the great school that it is. 34 FI EStlllEW Freshmen HAZEL SCOTT Secretary-Treasurer ELIZABETH ALLEN, Itta Bena SLEDGE ALLEN, Indianola ELLA HUNTER ARANT, Greenwood ROBERT BIBB, Ruleville CLIFTON BISHOP, Drew DOROTHY BIZZELL, Inverness CHARLES BOONE, Amory HENRY BOYD, Linn C.

Subjects strange cruelly mocked us. Time passed on, and Sophomores Advanced on toward knowledge ' s shores Merry, confident, sure, and wise Indulgently smiling, with superior eyes At the Freshmen ' s childish play, Lightly we strolled along our way. As members of the Junior Class Diligently laboring in order to pass. In this role we next appear Praying that in one more year We might the envied Seniors be. We struggle on right desperately. With Senior privileges and class rings We believe ourselves almost kings After the years of worry and stress Here, at last, is crowning success! We ' re eagerly awaiting, with anticipation That final day of graduation! — But now that we ' ve achieved success And think of leaving SAHS A tear falls, mingled with happiness. There ' s little to be added to the jingle above except to say that the Seniors of ' 36 are not the same as the scared, wondering Freshmen who entered here four years ago. Some have left us; others have joined us, but we who have remained the entire time have changed. As we have advanced in scholarship, we hove broadened in our horizon and im- proved in all aspects. And now that we are to part, and go our sepa- rate ways, We wish to extend our deepest appreciation to those friends, teachers, and fellow students who hove made our sojourn in S. A. H. S. an era which we shall always treasure. 56 JUNIORS First Row — Gertrude Griffeth, Tiny Carpenter, Mary Alice Reel, Sid Coleman, Vice-President; Libby Lindsey, President; Nathan Wise, Reporter; Joe Harpole, James Ryan, Elizabeth Stoton, Martha Kent, Vivian Downer.

Coach Dickson ' s men ran roughshod over all opposition to take the Mississippi Valley Con- ference crown and they made a strong bid for State Junior College honors. M. V. C. games were as follows: Sunflower 21— Bethel 0 Sunflower 20— Delta State 0 Sunflower 68 — Senatobia 0 Sunflower 54 — Lambuth 0 Five Trojans received recognition on the all- M. V. C. selections. These were Captain Charlie Thomas, fullback; Alternate Captain Aubrey Harris, tackle; Kingston Burnham, guarterback; Leroy Downing, guard; Clifton Bishop, halfback. Burn- ham, who lead the conference in scoring with 75 points, was voted the most valuable man on the all-M. V. C. team. 62 Girl ' s Basketball Illness and injury dogged the trail of Coach Dickson ' s Sunflower sextet this year and ruined the prospects for one of the best seasons of recent years. The influenza epidemic hit the team at the time of the M. V. C. and State tournaments, and the girls declined invitations to enter because of this handicap. Girls who played their last year for Sunflower were Jimmie Dew, All-State and All-M. V. C. forward last year; Evelyn Fried, All-State center last year; Pat Godbold, All-M. V. C. guard last year; Mattie Lou Swain, who was the outstanding star of this year ' s team; Margaret Fondren; Ann Flack; Mary Robinson; and Mabel Coalter. Two freshman girls made letters: Hazel Bryson, and Eva Watkins. Boy ' s Basketball Coach McClanahan ' s quintet had an off and on season in 1936, but they rose to the heights and won the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship at the tournament held at Jackson, Tennessee. Two Sun- flower men, both Sophomores, were named on the All- M. V, C. Team. They were Hoyt Payne, forward, and Jim Martin, guard. Captain Odell Rutherford, guard, and John Burnett, center, were the other Sophomores who played their last games for Sunflower. The four Freshmen lettermen were Ray Ricks, Charles Mc- Kinnon, Bill Leech, and Paul Cranford. Reserves who stuck it out throughout the year were Perry Bruton, Pruitt Parks, and Walter Lee, 65 9, Kaf her ot-c |IlJ If Payne 9 Leech McKinnon 3 Crarijord - Left to right: Mattie Lou Swain, Susie Poss, Myrtle Carroll, Mardis Dalton. Track The Trojan track team finished third in the state track meet to climax a fairly successful season. Coach Dickson ' s girls turned in the only first places the team won. Mardis Dalton, who ranks as the greatest girl runner in Sunflower ' s history, took first place in the 75 yard dash. The girls ' relay team composed of Susie Poss, Mattie Lou Swain, Myrtle Carroll, and Mardis Dalton, was triumphant in the girls ' relay. The third place which the cinder stars gained made it possible for Sunflower to capture the Junior College Cup. The meet had a thrilling finish. With only the mile relay left to be run. Sunflower needed at least to place in this event to gain the cup. The four men who placed third in this event and insured victory were Melvin Hemphill, Charlie Thomas, Durell Flynn, and Paul Sissy Hoyle. Hoyle was the indi- vidual star, moving the stick up to a placing position while running the fastest lap of his life. 68 First Row: Britt, Poindexter, Baird, Phillips, Davisson, Shannon, Ward, Bailey. Second Row: Duncan, Kidd, Smith, Austin, Martin, Staples, Rounsaville, Coach McClanahan. 1935 Baseball The Trojan nine of last year was one of the best in the history of the school, winning the Mississippi Valley Championship and run- ner-up among the State Junior Colleges. Sunflower, coached for the first time by G. T. McClanaha n, lost only three games. The outstanding star of the team was Bain Shannon, the slugging centerfielder who pitched occasionally. At the close of the season Bain signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Roy Coon Ward was a good catcher who hit around 350. R. T. Staples, who did most of the twirling for the Trojans, ranked as one of the two or three really good hurlers in Junior College base- ball. Lettermen who returned for the 1936 season were Bill Bailey, Bub- ber Davisson, Jim Martin, L. C. Phillips, and Gordon Smith. 69 Left to right: Gill Shelton, Pat Godbold, Jimmie Dew, Carl Gentsch. Tennis At the state tournament last year Pat Godbold won the woman ' s singles championship, to add to her laurels as All-M. V. C. basketball guard. The two doubles teams, composed of Christine Holt and Jimmie Dew, and Gill Shelton and Gaston Turner, respectively, were runner-ups in their events. 70 Left to right: Hughes, Weeks, Johnson, Pierce, Hankins, Snelgrove. Second Row: E. Ryan, J. Ryan, Tyler, Quinn, Spencer, Cave. Third Row: Trainer Jones, Hickman, Roberts, White, Eubanks, Ferguson, Coach Fen ton. Football The S. A. H. S. football team completed its annual season with some success. Although handicapped by inexperienced material and loss of many letter men Coach Fenton succeeded in producing a team of medium ability. Though the team was not as successful as those of past years it still maintained the S. A. H. S. spirit and finished with four victories, one tie, and five defeats. 71 Left to right: Robinson, Lindsey, Searcy, Elmore, Holland, Carpenter, Smith, Knapp, Bush, Crook, Wiggins, Coach Fenton. Brown not in picture. Girls ' Basketball The first practice for tfie basket ball girls was called on December the second under the able coaching of Coach Fenton with Miss Rebecca Martin acting as assistant. Miss Ouida Bush was appointed captain. The girls did not experience an undefeated season but a very happy one. The sextet survived one round in the South Delta Tournament, but was eliminated by Green- ville, the team that was runner-up for Delta cham- pionship. 72 Left to right: First Row: Cave, Logan, Quinn, Spencer, Coach Fenton. Second Row: Manager Jones, Hughes, Roberts, Snelgrove, Ferguson. Boys ' Basketball The boys ' basketball team gave a fairly suc- cessful account of itself during the ' 36 season. Through Coach Fenton ' s efforts a smooth-working combination was produced to represent the school. Great spirit was shown during all of the season. High scorer for the season was the captain, Red Hughes. 73 High School Track S. A. H. S. has been quite successful for the past several years in track. This being an outstanding athletic event in our school, much spirit and work is put into it. Many records have been taken by our various representatives even in State contests. The girls ' relay team, composed of Bernice Harger, Bonnie Harger, Ouida Bush, and Louise Knapp, took first place in State in ' 35. James Fowler placed first in Delta on mile run. 74 WHO ' S WHO MISS S. J. C. ANN FLACK I9ie WHO ' S WHO MR. S. J.
