T?ram gsg gs: ’ . ■ ■ 1 t _ SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI JR. COLLEGE Cop) right 1940 by IRMA REEDY, Editor THOMAS HAFFEY, Business Manager KATHERINE KALUSCHE, Associate COLLEGE CLASSES ATHLETICS ACTIVITIES FEATURES ADVERTISEMENTS FOREWORD Memories! How much is implied in that one word. Classmates, teachers, friends; hours of happiness, moments of regret; vic¬ tory and defeat; work and play; everything that makes college life colorful—These are the things we have sought to portray on the pages of the Whispering Pines so that the year 1939-’40 may ever remain a glorious memory. ' Board of Trustees C. A. REEVES J. T. HUTCHINSON MRS. MILDRED ELLZEY W. C. PRICE BURTON GODBOLD W. M. DAVIS MISS MINNIE C. FLEMMINGS r Dedication “Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can.” This summarizes the characteristics of “Aunt Minnie.” To her who has so patiently borne with our faults and rejoiced in our triumphs, to her who has been our constant friend and counsellor, we lovingly dedicate this the seventh volume of The Whispering Pines. n The speckled sky is dim with snow, The light, flakes falter and fall slow; Await the hill-top, rapt and pale Silently drop a silver veil; And all the valley is shut in By flickering curtains gray and thin. ROCK GARDEN AND POOL CAMPUS -A KENNA AUDITORIUM BOYS DORMITORY Gillis Hall Supervised by MISS STELLA COX Gillis Hall is more than a Home Management house. It is really home. It is hoped that the ideas brought out in the following definition of a home will always be foremost in the minds of all girls who live in Gillis Hall: “My home should be a place— Where I get comfort and contentment of mind. Where I can regain and strengthen faith in myself. Where I can overcome jeal¬ ousy, selfishness, discourage¬ ment and fear. Where I can get sympathy and understanding. Where I can put my heart back in tune to appreciate friends, neighbors, and co¬ workers. The achievement of these objectives brings a deeper, finer knowledge of the future home-maker, a more sympathetic understanding of the struggle and con¬ flict that life inevitably brings. THE J. M. KENNA Our President Twenty-two years ago James Murray Kenna came to Pike A. H. S. as its first superintendent. He served continuously in that position until the school became Southwest Mississippi Junior College in 1928. Since then he has been president of the institution. He has been a dynamic force in promoting the growth of the school from one brick building in 1918 to the present establishment valued at a quarter of a million dol ars. But his chief interest has not been in establishing a fine plant; it has been in developing the character of young men and women. His sterling worth has impressed itself on all who have come and gone for these many years. FACULTY MISS STELLA MARIE COX B.S.

Fortunately, we at Southwest do not measure the success of a sport entirely in this manner, but by the fighting spirit of the team, by the enthusiastic support of the student body, by good sportsmanship, and by other such attributes that make football the most colorful of colle¬ giate sports. Viewed in this light we can say that the season was a success. The high-lights of the season were the games with Decatur and Wesson. The home-coming game with the Junior College champions of Decatur will long be remembered on the Southwest campus as the game that fittingly dedicated the new Reeves Memorial Athletic Field. In the last game the Pilots went down in defeat at the hands of our power¬ ful and traditional foe at Wesson in a hard fought game. As the squad was predominantly freshman material, we look forward to a better season next year. thleti® i o Cheerleaders Yeah Cheerleaders! Say Cheerleaders! We ' re proud of you! Andrews and Prescott, Burris and Moore Ready to cheer whatever the score. The enthusiasm manifested by our cheerleaders pervaded the entire school, giving rise to a loyalty and cooperation which meant much to the teams and listed the cheering squad as one of the peppiest ever known at Southwest. THOMAS “PETE” MINNIE LEE KARY BURRIS PRESCOTT MOORE ANDREWS A fast beginning marked the opening of the 1940 Basketball season. The strong Brookhaven independent team was defeated in the initial tilt 31-29, and New Zion independents were drubbed by the “B” team on the same night. Opening with Decatur in early January the Pilots split a double feature losing the first game and coming back strong to win the second night in a thriller 31-30. With extreme winter weather, colds, influenza, and absence of several “A” team men, the squad hit a losing streak, which was not overcome till the end of the season. In several of these games they led by sizeable margins only to be overcome in the later stages by lack of reserves. Return cf normal conditions set the Pilots in a winning streak which took in Goodman for two games, and finishing in the finales. Wooten, May, Decoux, Huffman, Blackwell, and Burris displayed their ability most con¬ sistently. Prospec ts for next year are good. Prestridge, Dowland, and Dulaney showed a good brand of ball handling, but Wooten, and May are valuable men who will be hard to replace. f Back row—Coach Hurst, Edith Starkey, Marie Morgan, Minnie Lee Moore, Louise White, Genevieve Love, Ruth Campbell, Evelyn Prescott, Edith Felder, Eva Lee Whittington, Lillian Dillon, Sam Smith (Mgr.) Front row—Inez Tremble, Hazel Edwards, Nellie Prestridge, Doris Smith. Girls’ Basketball The girls’ basketball team had another fine season this year although they failed to win the! state championship again. They won 14 out of 15 games during the regular season, dropping one game to Goodman out of four played. In the Tournament they won from Goodman and Raymond in the first two rounds but lost to Moorehead in the finals. In winning 16 of 18 games during the entire season they piled up 813 points to their opponents 571. Genevieve Love was high scorer for the second year. With an average of 21 points per game she scored a total of 342 points for the season. Moore, Campbell and Smith did fine work at forward and these four forwards ,set a record that Southwest is proud of. At guard White, Morgan, Prescott and Felder did most of the playing and their guarding was on a par with the work of the forwards. Moore and White were se¬ lected on the first All State team, with Love on the second team and Prescott receiving honorable mention. Six of the eight that did most playing will graduate but with Campbell, Felder, Prestridge, Dillion, Conerly, Cutrer, and Alford back, Coach Hurst will have the nucleus of another good team. Tennis Boys—Raymond Fowler, Gentry Dowland, Phil Alix, George Birdsong and not shown Gerald McMillian and John Street. Girls—Nellie Prestridge, Camille Stokes, Miss Anabel Cox, (coach), Evelyn Prescott, and Ruth Fitzgerald. Baseball Standing—Burris, Lambert, Youman, Huffman, Young, Birdsong, Lock¬ ett, Alix, M.

BUSINESS MANAGER The Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. have had a very good year. Their influence is strongly felt on this campus. Once a week the “Y” gives an hour program. These programs have been a great inspiration to the students of Southwest. They consist of talks on current and historical topics of interest. Often speakers from various communities are asked to speak at the “Y” meetings. Much of the Christian at¬ mosphere is due to the high ideals taught by the Y.W.C. A. and Y.M.C.A.

CHRISTIAN COUNCIL For several years the Christian Council has been quietly rendering an admirable service to the Southwest students. It is the aim and purpose of the organization to create and preserve a Christian at¬ titude on the campus. To this end it has sponsored and directed every religious activity. By placing the responsibility on definite ones for certain tasks, it has had remarkable success this year. The council is a planning board and meets every week to plan the various religious events of that week. These activities are the noon-day prayer service, the Sunday evening vesper service, the mid¬ week prayer service, and the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. programs. This year the Christian Council has been under the directorship of Mrs. Miller and Mr. Glover. Much of the credit for a successful year is due to their able leadershi p. Dramatic Club Members . .
