New personalities have appeared; w ideas have supplanted and enriched the intellectual stream which flows through SMJC. But the same conquering spirit, comrade¬ ship, and friendliness characteristic of the school are permanently implanted in the foundation of Southwest. When you turn the pages of this a u� l, faces and scenes con¬ front you: -familiar faces, some of whi ,ou will remember above v others, and scenes which recall hours or leisure, sadness and joy beyond expression. May these memories of SMJC always reserve a place in your heart. 3 J orewor I ion ft ?

HOOK STONE MISS AVALEE WILLOUGHBY Director of Physical Education for Women Girls ' Basketball Coach RALPH ROD DAVIS Assistant Coach Baseball J. B. RED JENNINGS Assistant Coach Boys ' Basketball Although they finished the 1950 football season with a record of three wins, one tie, and five losses, the SMJC Bears should be given credit for the facts that they never quit trying or lost their spirit. They started the season off with a bang, and it looked as if they were on the road to the confer¬ ence championship. They defeated Wesson again, much to the hearty approval of the Southwest fans, tied Poplarville, and tri¬ umphed over Perkinston and Moorhead. From there on out, the Bears suffered one defeat after another. The students, alumni, and fans of Southwest are proud of and will always remember this team as one of the most determined in the history of SMJC. I Donald Byrd and James Hancock served as man- I agers for the 1950 Bear Squad. FROM TOP TO BOTTOM: Jimmy Messenese, Quarterback; Karl Stuck!, Quarterback; Hurtis Tomlinson, Fullback; Pete Norman, Fullback; and Jerry Livingston, Fullback. Southwest-13 Wesson-12 Once again the Bears won the most important game of the entire sea¬ son, the one with Wesson. Recovering a fumble on the Southwest 50 in the first quarter, the Wolves passed and ran the pigskin over for the first TD of the game. After taking over on the Wesson 42, Carlisle received a pass down to the Wesson 6. On the next play, Moore dived over for the tying touchdown. Woodward ' s extra point try, which was the deciding factor of the game, was good. In the third quarter, the Bears made their second touchdown when Martin recovered a fumble on the Wolves ' 42. From there, the Bears pushed down to the 3 and Carlisle dived over for the score. Midway of the fourth quarter, the Wolves received a punt, moved down to the 7, and over the goal. Go, Woody, Grabber ' s angling for ' em. Don ' t grunt so much, fellas. Southwest - - - 6 Poplarville - - - 6 The Bears played one of their best games of the season against the Poplarville eleven. In the middle of the first quarter, Messenese punted down to the Poplarville 40. The Wildcats then began a 60 yard drive which ended with Billy Jarrell going over from the 1 on a quarterback sneak. Receiving the kick, Southwest returned it to their 25. After a couple of plays, Woodward heaved a beautiful pass to McCulloch that was good for 70 yards and a touchdown. After that it was a see-saw battle. Both teams strived hard to score another TD, but neither could gather up that extra power to go over so the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

Southwest-25 Perkinston - - 6 An alert Southwest eleven really showed their strength by rolling over the Perkinston Bulldogs by a score of 25-6. The Bears racked up two touchdowns in the first quarter and two more in the third. Perkinston ' s lone touchdown came in the second quarter. The highlight of the game was McCulloch ' s spectacular 75 yard run for a touchdown in the third frame. McCulloch and Moore were responsible for the touchdowns, racking up two each. Make way! Loody ' s ' a cornin ' through! What ya reckon we ' ll do today? Southwest-26 Moorhead-0 The SMJC Bears rolled on to their third and final victory by tearing the Sunflower Trojans to petals by a score of 26-0. Because of the out¬ standing defensive playing performed by the Bears, the Trojans couldn ' t even get the pigskin inside Southwest territory. The Bears got off to a good start by scoring twice in the first quarter, with Carlisle and Moore carrying the ball. Carlisle scored the two other touchdowns, one in the third quarter and the other in the fourth. Tarleton kicked the two extra point tries.

Southwest-20 Decatur-32 The Bears suffered their first loss of the season when they ran up against the powerful Decatur Warriors. The Bears lagged behond the entire game, but were constantly a dangerous threat to the Warriors. With the Warriors leading 13-0 at the beginning of the second quarter, Moore picked up a fumble made by Decatur while receiving a punt and scooted over. The Warriors came back and scored again to run their lead up to 19-6. Just before the half ended, McCulloch received a pass from Woodward and darted over. Tarleton ' s kick from placement made the score 19-13. The Warriors scored another touchdown in the third frame and one in the beginning of the fourth to lead 32-13. The Bears made their final TD in the fourth frame when Stucki heaved a beautiful pass to McCulloch from the Bears ' 30. Ouch! That even jarred the camera. Just bandaging Crip Moore southwest-0 Ellisville - - - 14 It seemed as though old lady luck was just against the Bears when they ran up against the Ellisville Bobcats. Several times they drove deep into Bobcat territory and lost the ball on a fumble or downs caused by pen¬ alties. As far as statistics were concerned, the Bears bested the Bobcats by a wide margin. The Bobcats made their initial score in the second quarter when Parker received a punt on his 35 and scooted all the way for a touchdown. In the third quarter, Ellisville ran a punt back to the Southwest 19. The Bears were penalized to their 4 and the next play Ellisville scored.

Southwest---0 Hinds---21 The Raymond Eagles soared over the Bears 21-0 in the Bears last out- of-town game. Since temperature had dropped way below freezing, playing under such bad weather conditions was really rough going on the gridsters. The Eagles scored twice in the first quarter and once in the fourth. McElroy starred for the Eagles by racking up two touch¬ downs. The Bears threatened the Eagles several times. Once they had driven to the Eagles 25, but fumbled and the Eagles took over.

Southwest-7 Scooba-30 The Scooba Lions, a team which the Bears had looked forward to play¬ ing in the former years, skinned the Bears 30-7 in their final game of the 1950 season. Southwest ' s lone score came in the second quarter. Carlisle received a kick on his 5 and raced up past the midfield stripe before handing off to Messenese who was run out of bounds on the Scooba 27. Woodward passed to McKenzie who was hurled out on the Scooba 7. Carlisle smacked over for the touchdown, and Tarleton kicked the point.

The Bearettes ' season opened in December with victory from the start: Perkinston, Poplarville, and Ellisville fell vic¬ tims to Bearette teamwork December 6, 7, 8. After losing to Wesson, Fulton, Booneville, and Scooba immediately following the holidays, the Bearettes stacked up eight straight wins: Decatur, Scooba, Clarke, Hinds, Moor¬ head, Goodman, Perkinston, Poplarville, were the losers. A tie with Hinds, a defeat by Booneville, a win over Fulton, and a defeat by Wesson constituted the waning days of the season. The final games with Clarke and Ellisville both resulted in victories.

Great moments of the season came when the girls triumphed over the Hinds Eaglettes by a score of 38-28 with Emogene Dillon scoring 23 of the winning points; and when, by skillful, spirited playing, unsurpassed this season, they reduced the tough Goodman team to de¬ feat by a score of 39-33.

Jennings, had a bad start on the rectangles this year, losing their first six games. To add to that, they lost a few of their cagers to Uncle Sam. But Jennings got them off of their losing streak and on to the right track. Although they also lost some of their later games, their defeats were only by a few points. At the season ' s end, their record was eight wins and thirteen defeats .

E. M. GIVENS. No person has been more sadly missed on the campu s this year than has Dr. E. M. Givens. Dr. Givens had served as school physi¬ cian for many years before his death in the spring of 1950. He did more than bring relief for body aches; his warm human philosophy of life cheered even the most down-hearted. We realize, after a year, that there is no sub¬ stitute for his great spirit. nKatl wm m F VJ ■Pf i - j n f eiri The 1951 WHISPERING PINES is finished, but before we give it up entirely we must say thank you to the people who worked with us to make it possible. We could never name every person who has helped, but cer¬ tainly we must mention the superb photographic work of Mr. Gautreaux and his assistant, Pete Norman; the encouragement so often given us by Mr. Snell and Mr. Watkins; the willingness on the part of the club sponsors to help us get our job done; the never-failing readiness of our own staff to work, and work hard. Jimmy Turner merits special laurels for the foreword; Damon Ball de¬ serves credit for the sports section; Hilliard Holland is largely responsible for the buildings and grounds arrangements; and Barbara Johnson wins our heartfelt thanks for her typing of every copy sheet. We hope that you will overlook the many errors we have made and that you will attribute them to our inexperience. We really want you to enjoy your 1951 WHISPERING PINES as much as we ' ve enjoyed doing it. Bessie Hammack, Editor Hazel George, Sponsor - ' r.-v. ' •V.;- v ;v. -C; -
