C. and S. A. H. S.! Tennyson made the great Ulysses say, 1 am a part of all 1 have'xmet. This being true, we shall be interested in the days to come to reflect upon the influences shed around us, the associations of faculty and students, the friendships forever sealed, the joys and the sorrows of our school days in the year 1927 and '23. We shall turn these pages with pleasure because we have found life in our dear Alma Mater stimulating, wholesome and helpful. -, 3 5 'Munn null llllllll III! 1 M isu u 'H

Iltt l II N ' IIl ' if . I ETQOS D EC sy t ll llll IIII lllll College Football When Coach McCormick issued the call early in September for pig skinnersf' he was answered by over twenty huskies from the hills and delta of Mississippi. The curtain of the first football year in the history of the Sunflower Junior College was about to be raised. Such focs as Mississippi Ccllcge Frrshmfn, Millsaps Freshmen, and Delta State Teachers' College, were to furnish the meat for the Bull Dogs, and realizing the bigness of their task, the dogs got down to real work. ln the month that followed the foundation for a smooth-working football machine was laid. l ' The result was surprising for such a light team composed almost altogether of raw material. Vickers, a triple threat man, Ruth, the Peewee bouncing quarter, and Gilliland, an all- around fighter, composed the experienced cogs around which the machine was built. However, the new fellows soon proved their worth. Fleming and Jones held down the end positions and did it well. Our Shiek shcwcd that he could handle a pig-skin---and ch how hard he hit 'em that rainy day in Martin, Tenn. - With Vickers and O'Keefe at half, Gilliland at full, and Rush at quarter, the S. C. had a light but speedy back field. The Della State will long remember those long runs by Rush and Gilliland, as well as the marvelous punting of Vickers and the fighting spirit of the whole team. ln turn O'Keefe will remember the D. S. T. C. l:y the lcss of several teeth, which loss he momentarily completely forgot in the victory---i2 to 7. Aust, Lindsey, Hurt, Moses, Patton, Wren, Ross, Crowell, Williams and Hovas shared from time to time the honors and the brunts of the line. To the men who Hold That Line belongs as much praise as those who have greater opportunities for spectacular playing. The junior College teams from Tate and Holmes counties fell before our plucky little S. C. boys. The Min-o1's and the Papooses with a reserve of from forty to sixty men, outclassecl us altogether. The Hinds Co. Junior College gave us a good drubbing. With Capt. Vickers and Rush out of games on account of injuries, we are surprised that we did not suffer worse. ln the first year of the S. C. football, Coach McCormick and his squad have blazed the trail for the future players. Hcre's to those who follow! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! College Track The success in track has been great during the short history at our college.l..ast year we won several places in the Junior College track meet. Newman won the first place in the mile race and the pole vault. Kinchen O'Keefe won second place in both the low hurdles and 220 yard dash. Grant won second in the 440 yard dash. At this writing the squad is getting ready for the call of the Cinder path, where our boys expect to get endurance? and speed. The squad is looking forward with pleasure to several regional meets, and to the state track meet on April I5 at Raymond. Vickers, and Wren will try the distance races. As former high school stars, they should shine in college days at S. C. Lindsey, Aust, Moses, and Ross expect to compete for the quarter mile. Rush, O'Keefe, and Hurt will probably be the main stays for the dashes and hurdles. Fleming expects to furnish hot competition for the pole vault. Vickers will probably put the shot and throw the discus. With such an array of material, the other Junior Colleges can expect the S. C. to share the laurels, and bring home many medals. On to the track meetl' is the word of all track performers. Not so many seasons ago, Charlie Paddock, world's champion sprinter of the IOO yards, was in our school. Several of our fellows had the honor of running with him. He predicted a bright future for some of them on the cinder path, and here's predicting that Charlie's pre- dictions will come true. , 5 2 5 S - .fs - ' f A I l 'YN E E 2 2 A' x C XC if l 'F E f X' YAC' A f X ff' N fs x-f'XQf . xfxs-K' 1- QA N' E- N'xN'- f
