Ji [ 3 7,«L -- JM3N ■ Southwest Jr. College Summit, Mississippi 1950 orewon In the WHISPERING PINES of 1950 we have attempted to compile a book which departs slightly from the precedent of former years. We have placed emphasis mainly upon the interest and ac¬ tivities of the students themselves, and in so doing we hope we have presented a comprehensive picture of life at Southwest Mississippi Junior College. We have sought to portray not only your classmates, teachers, and friends, but also your hours of happiness, moments of regret, victories and defeats, periods of work and play, and everything that makes college life colorful. May these always be glorious memories to you. 2 T I In appreciation of his ability, friendliness, loyalty, and cooperation which have contributed so much to the success that has come to Southwest during this year of our college life, we take pleasure in dedicating this, the 1950 publication of the WHISPERING PINES, to Coach H. L. (Hook) Stone. I f 3 4 The conclusion of the 1949-50 school session marks the close of the thirty-second session of Southwest Mississippi Agricultural High School and Junior College. During this period, many personalities have visited this insti¬ tution, Students, faculty members, staff members and administrators have come and gone. Lasting impressions have been made while associating together on our campus. Many have greatly benefited from experiences here and have gone out in the world as benefactors of mankind. Southwest has stressed quality rather than quantity throughout her long tenure of service to the people of Southwest Mississippi. It is doubtful if any other institution with comparable enrollment has had a greater per cent of her sons and daughters make any more marked success in the academic, business, or professional world. Those who had a part in helping to guide these young people may take justifiable pride and satisfaction. Southwest Mississippi Junior College is so interwoven in the lives of the people of this area that nothing can happan to the one without affecting the other. In almost every community in this section of the state and in many com¬ munities of adjoining states, this institution has demonstrated its influence in better homes, better citizens and in families of character and worth. Southwest is more than a campus, a group of buildings, a lake or a foot¬ ball stadium. Primarily, it is a spirit- a spirit that took years to build- a spirit of congeniality for and appreciation of our fellow man. This spirit is perhaps our most valuable asset. Therefore, let us breathe deeply of it that we may be true to the finest traditions of Democracy and Christianity. Let us look forward with hope and confidence that we may be true to those who have preceded us, and may make our full contribution to those who follow us. 5 i dowenLno ton cience iiuancl tfie Sftu 9 JC enna n ns Me ue 3 tmmond 12 sons go bu JliL retry 13 (jirld 9 2)orm itorij. 14 Be oun wafcfiwawd 3ort Wide oug 15 c 18 o thee 2 ortniton 19 OunFLlma i ri a icK I All So u 22 .ithwest - fc ' sKSsSgfes -? : v% ■ WP , . ,4m - mam gip - m ' ' ' ■’$ -. t P®®2HBBBBi( asp r « % A ,. -v . •?• ' ■ J omg 23 24 MR.

Much credit should be given to Coaches Stone and Davis for their re¬ markable leadership. Starting off the year with a new name, the team first defeated their age-old rival, Wesson. From there on out, the Bears were mostly victorious, winding up third in the Junior College Conference, for the first time in several years. Once again we tip our hats to this outstanding team and their coaches. !

Beating Southwest every year had come to be a habit with the Wolves, but the Bears put a stop to that. Ed Turner scored first for the Bears on a pass reception. The Wolves re¬ taliated and tied the game six to six before the half was over but the Bears were not going to settle for a tie, so they came back after the half and went over for the winning touchdown. And they ' re off Southwest 12_Poplarville 26 Plagued by several injuries received in the Wesson game, the Bears put up a hard fight but lost the battle against the powerful con¬ ference champs from Pearl River. The Wild¬ cats scored two quick touchdowns in the open¬ ing period. The Bears came back in the sec¬ ond and third quarter and chalked up twelve points for our side. But the Wildcats had their eyes set on the championship, so they scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter to wrn the game. Mark one up for Woody v Southwest 13_Perkinston 13 With a win and a loss behind them, the Bears balance things up by tying Perkinston 13-13. The rain-soaked field caused numerous fum¬ bles and it was anybodys ball game. Perkin¬ ston scored first, but the Bears followed with two touchdowns and a conversion to lead the Bulldogs 13-6 until the last few minutes of the game when the Bulldogs scored the tying points. Baker established himself as the man- of-the-week by scoring both touchdowns. Make way for Goat 85 Southwest 11_Moorhead 6 Not wanting to spoil the Homecoming Day for the Alumni, the S. M. J. C. Bears rolled over the Trojans 11-6. In the opening minutes of a muddy game, the Bears scored a safety. They followed up the safety with a touchdown and conversion. The Trojans, not wanting to be left too far behind, followed with a touch¬ down, ending the half. Because of the mud, the second half was all fumbles and little run¬ ning. However, in the fourth quarter, the Bears trapped the Trojans behind their goal for another safety, ending the game with the Bears triumphant. Rack him up men Southwest 6_Decatur 0 It took a long 81-yard run by Jack Baker late in the fourth quarter to have the. Southwest Bears hand the league-leading Decatur War¬ riors their first defeat of the season. The game, played on a soupy field, was an out¬ standing display of defensive play. Maybe the Decatur fans didn ' t know what get one for Loody meant, but those spirited fans from Southwest did. Dig, boy, dig Southwest 13_Ellisville 18 In a rough game packed with penalties about which there was some doubt as to their legalty, the Southwest Bears fell prey to the snappy Ellisville Bobcats to an 18-13 score. The game was sparked by Stryker ' s spectacular punts and Chaney ' s touchdown run. The Bears played hard and did their best to win but the penal¬ ties proved to be too heavy for them. 86 Goodman 27 Southwest 36 In a game that looked more like a track meet, the SMJC Bears outran and outplayed the Goodman Bulldogs to spoil their homecoming with a 36-27 victory. The Bulldogs put up a gallant fight, but the Bears, scoring in every period, were not to be defeated. Get him boys Southwest 6_Raymond 40 Scoring almost at will, the Hinds J. C. Eagles gave the Bears their worst defeat of the season. The lone Bear touchdown came when Jack Baker went fifty-five yards in the latter moments of the third period. So far as South¬ west was concerned, Jehu, the newly-acquired mascot, stole the show. And he ' s caught Winning the final game of the season, the Bears defeated the Scooba Lions 18-7. The Lions proved to be not as big a pushover as the Bears thought they would be. It was pretty rough going for the Bears, but with Stryker, Woodward, and Cassels chalking up touch¬ downs, the Bears came out victorious.

(f adhetbafl The boy ' s basketball team of the 1950 season must have had a jinx on them, for although they played hard and with determination, they finished the season with four wins and thirteen losses. However, if Coach Stone and the boys try half as hard next year as they did this year, the title of conference champs should be theirs. ft OSCAR HOPE Forward CARL STUCKI Forward CHARLIE MACK MARTIN Forward ALTON MAGEE Guard BOB WOODWARD Forward CAROL HOLLOWAY Forward MACK SMITH Guard BILL RUSHING Guard FORD McGUFFEE Guard 89 FIRST ROW, left to right: Alosia Dickerson, Tishue Bell Cutrer, Juanita Lawson, Shirley Gent, Frances Kuyrkendall, Helen Foreman.

The girl ' s basketball team of Southwest, like the football team, was the best that S. M. J. C. has had for many years. Under the capable leadership of Coach Willoughby, the girls finished the season by losing six and winning eleven games. All of the girls played hard and congratulations were in due order to each and every one of them for splendid work. 90 MARGIE DEAN WALL Forward NELL RABORN Guard JUANITA LAWSON Forward MARY MARGARET RHED HELEN FOREMAN ALOISA DICKERSON Guard Forward Guard 91 FRONT ROW, left to right: Wayne Robertson, Nappy Gaidzis, Philip Hewitt, Joe Andrews, Walter Andrews, Richard Campbell, Marlon Holman, and Bill Lewman.
