In spite of obvious handi- caps, the team lost only by a small margin to last year ' s state champion, Raymond. Raymond won three out of four debates, losing only to Sunflower ' s negative. Sunflower also won three out of four losing to Raymond ' s negative, but due to individual percentage scoring the totals were in Raymond ' s favor. The creditable showing of the team was due to a great extent to the untiring efforts of Miss Stennis and Miss Allen. NEGATIVE Sybil Wright Sue Collins AFFIRMATIVE E. L.

J. C. is in its second suc- cessful year and is a new training of which the school is especially proud. There have been two courses of flight training this year; one having been started in October of 1940, the other in February of 1941. The Spring Class was divided into two sections. The primary course has a quota of thirty students and is instructed by Flight Instructors Abide, Draper, and Lindsey. The Advanced unit has a quota of ten and the instructor is R. W. Cunn. Only two colleges offer this advanced course, the other college being Ole Miss. Of singular interest is the fact that an S, J.

He came here after finishing an outstanding career in athletics at Ole Miss. His senior year there, Coach Rab was awarded the Norris Trophy as the most valu- able player on the team. He was also selected as the outstanding athlete of the school by lettering in football, track, and baseball. The 1940 season wasn ' t as successful as previous years through the lack of experienced players. However, Coach Rab did an excel- lent job of coaching an almost entirely fresh- men ball club. The team won five games, lost four and tied one. With the freshman material on hand and the new ones yet to come, everything points to a successful 1941 season. COACH HARRIS Assistant Coach Harris, better known as Prof. Harris, has been line coach at S. J. C. for three years. Coach Harris is a former graduate and athlete of this institution. After finishing his degree in Chemistry at Ole Miss, he returned here to teach and render his ser- vices as Assistant Coach. As a result of his excellent coaching, several S. J. C. linemen have received berths on the All-State teams in the last few years. 85 il SAINT ' ROTH, Captain u Trojans 20 Arkansas A. M. 0 This game opened our 1940 season with a bang.

S, J. C. 24—33 Goodr 25 — 34 One point difference in both games — that is what I call close playing. The Goodman girls always seemed to edge out in the last few minutes of the games.

Northcutt, all-state pitcher; Cochran, all-state shortstop; and Nash, all-state third base. McDowell, Vernamonti, Patterson, Steele, Martin and Litton are gone through graduation. Vandevender and Bob Boyd are the only returning letter men. Prospects are good though in such players as Roth, pitcher; Thibault, outfield; Crezaffi, outfield; Harbour, pitcher; Ragland, first base; George Coons, second base; Grantham, third base; Lang, pitcher; Jacks, pitcher; Turner, catcher; Martin, outfield; Brewer, outfield; Hill, shortstop; Johnston, catcher. The Trojans were barely edged out of the state championship last year. They lost only two games last year, both by one score, so the Trojans are out to win the championship this year. 96 EDITH FRAZIER ROBERT HARVEY MILDRED SCRUGGS TENNIS— 1941 The 1941 tennis team has served excellent material and should show a winning team in both boys and girls. Sunflower is fortunate In having Robert Harvey, the 1940 state high school tennis champion, who is expected to take the same crown in the Junior College league. Joe Hunter, Lamar Carithers, Hilton Abernathy, Neil Pressley and Edward Miller will furnish some excellent material for the )94l team. The girls team has Edith Frazier, Mildred Scruggs and Rae Fried left over from last year ' s team and with some of the freshmen girls, they should have a better than average team. , , The outlook for the 1941 track team should be a bright one. Such sprint men as Roth and Sam Grantham should take care of 100-220 and 440 yard dashes. Joe Hunter, a veteran high hurdler, should show up well, with Jimmie Boozer, a new man, striding over the low hurdles. Bubber Jackson, high-flying pole vaulter of the past season is still on hand to get his share of the honors. COACH RAB RODGERS The loss of some track men such as Frank Perry, sprint man, Tisdell and Bickerstaff, distance runners will hurt the team but new faces in the fresh- man squad such as Doyle Nail, the Eubanks brothers, Sam Stafford, and others should strengthen the team greatly. This year ' s State Junior College Field Meet will be held here at Moor- head and every effort will be made to take the much-envied crown. The boys are working hard to get in shape for this coming event. SAM STAFFORD DOYLE NAIL KENNETH FORD MAX JUCHIEM Back Row: E. Thibault, T. Ford, A. Williams, R. Johnston, J. Grezaffi, S.
