THE RETROSPECT 1938 YEARBOOK OF SUNFLOWER AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE MOORHEAD, MISSISSIPPI Celebrating 25th Anniversary LEONESE ROBINSON Editor-in-Chief VOLUME IX BOB GRESHAM Business Manager FOREWORD In the publication of this, the 1938 RETROSPECT, we have tried to hold in shades of black and white what is probably the dearest and most elusive of life ' s elements, the memory of things that were. It has been our aim ever to place herein something of everything that is representative of our school life, so that when time has blurred the outline of these years, memory may still live on. 1933 DEDICATION For his consistent support of this and previous issues of the RETROSPECT, for his efforts toward a better S.A.H.S. and S.J.C., for his kindly interest in every student, we lovingly dedicate the 1938 RETROSPECT to— CARL HENRY EVERETT 1133 OFT IN THE STILLY NIGHT Oft, in the stilly night, Ere Slumber ' s chain has bound me Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears. Of boyhood ' s years, The words of love then spoken ; The eyes that shone. Now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken! Thus, in the stilly night. Ere Slumber ' s chain has bound me Sad Memory brings the light Of other days around me. — Thomas Moore 1133 SCHOOL I [TFII ' il ll l ALMA MATER Alma Mater, Alma Mater, On through this life, We sing our praises to you Through peace and strife Your creeds will ever ring true.

M. WEST 1933 13 IIEH IlSFEi:! PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE Our school has at last grown up. This session marks the twenty-fifth anniversary. We no longer hope to be a great school. We are! The walls are becoming ivy-covered and the halls and fields hallowed with tradition. The alumni are scattered through the whole United States in- positions of trust and leadership. We have come to look with eyes of maturity upon the change wrought by passing years, and we find it good. Sunflower was among the first counties of Mississippi to establish an agricultural high school. The Sunflower Agricultural High School was established at Moorhead in 1911. The Institution has had only four superintendents — B. A. Brady, 1911-1913; J. Sergent, 1913-1918; J. S. Vandiver, 1918-1935; and P. M. West since 1935. The Sunflower Junior College was organized early in 1926, and the first class began work in September, 1926. The College was fully accredited as a two-year junior college in April, 1928, by the Accrediting Commission of the Senior Colleges of Mississippi, and was admitted to full membership in the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges in December, 1930, and is a member of the American Association of Junior Colleges. One of the immutable laws of nature is that nothing is created full-grown. Things reach maturity by a slow and sometimes painful growth. The tiny acorn becomes a giant oak, the bud a full blown rose, and the child reaches man ' s estate. Thus in our maturity rny wish is that we may cherish the hope and ambition of our youth and see with calm, clear judgment the real values of love, of labor, and of life. P. M.

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. 1133 55 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CLASS RICHARD SHAW President MARC MILLER Vice-President CAPERS WILSON Secretary CAROLYN RIDELL Reporter MISS ELLIS Sponsor L.

McClenahan ' s able coaching and Ike Pearson ' s crack pitching, a baseball team was produced at Sunflower Junior College that lost only one game and captured two championships, State and Mississippi Valley Conference, during the season. Ike won every game he pitched during the years 1936 and 1937. We had the best all-around baseball machine here in 1937 that has been produced in many years. Every man was a heavy hitter and an expert on the diamond. 1933 64 iiLii iJM I ri S. A. H. S. BASKETBALL FIRST ROW: Logan, G; Williams, F; C. Williams, F; Hubbard, C; Harmon, C; Griffin, G.

Our boys all in one week brought back to S.J.C. two well earned championships. At Martin, Tennessee, they won the Mississippi Valley Conference Championship by defeating the strong Freed-Hardman team. Again at Raymond they conquered the State Junior College trophy. This is the first time that a Junior College in Mississippi has won the state title two years in succession. Special mention should be given Captain Mitchell Stone and Googe Prather, for winning for themselves a position on the All-M.V.C. and All-State teams. We wish to pay tribute to Coach McClenahan and his 1938 Champions. 1133 68 TRELOAR PRATHER STONE RICKS HINDSMAN OVCA BRYANT GREEN WOLFE OVERTON 1933 69 WHO ' S WHO MISS S. J. C.
