On special occasions during the school year the club functions in furnishing speakers, readers, story tellers, declaimers, debaters and actors. In the training of these students lVliss Kenneclay shows a talent which we believe is not surpassed in any institution of the land. An especially excellent feature of the club's work was recently exhibited in the presentation of E.smeraldo.,' A new stage, beautiful scenery, exquisite lighting and other properties lent their charms to the occasion. A large, appreciative audi' ence inspired the actors. The entire cast starred, so that it is impossible to mention one name without mentioning all. Suffice it to say that never in the history of the school has there been a more enjoyable, a more excellent performance. Last spring the college group belonging to the club, won second place in the junior College Little Theatre contest held at jackson. This spring the contest playlets will be staged in our own new auditorium. A select cast is at present prac- ticing earnestly on Neighbors, by Zona Gale. And we predict that this time the S. C. will take hrst honors. 5 g Z 2 Q . A eff-wx S 2 2 4' A: ,XA XFX x , 5 9 ' t -,AYN,N fx ffw fs xfksxf fi-P' -ii avr if-ham, vw-. f I

mi n llll IllI ' t r ET osncc if s Athenian Society and Lanier Society HAT is in a name? Well let us investigate. Athens was the glory of Greece. The Athenians were strong in intellect, agile of limb, and beauti- ful of form. They were humble in victory and strong in defeat. Sidney Lanier was one of the South's greatest men. He was teacher, soldier. musician and poet. The Athenian and Lanier societies are chips off the old blocks, proving by their records that there is something in a name. They are brother and sister societies bound together by Rally Day. Cn the last Rally Day these two societies won enough points, separately and jointly, to defeat the mighty Olympians and the vers- atile Philomatheans. Encouraged by the wonderful showing, the Athenians and Laniers are determined to put up a stronger fight and to win the honors of the year. The spirit, pep and vim manifested on the last Rally Day shall not die out, but will become greater in every way, reaching the climax on the next Rally Day. Watch the Athenians Watch the Laniers For we're going to win that '28 banner this year We work together We never sever And we always play the game fair and square to The last. Every year when Rally comes We're always out to win. When the score is counted now We'll have the points all in. Watch the Athenians Watch the Laniers For we're going to win the '28 banner this year. Fight 'em hard, 'Theniansl Fight 'em hard, Laniers! 4 5 : 3 2 -1 , ,- - f 5 4 4 S1 ' - r we 5 1 2 2 tv X K-XA X!-X l E f Q VGA, fx ff'N 'N Nfks' N91 Zi X- . . xi-X-fx i--NEA N' Nr- NGN'-

Miss., and are per- forming a duty as citizens, even while preparing themselves by earnest study for useful futures. We are proud of the men of our school who, in addition to their studies, spend one and one half hours each week preparing for emergencies they sincerely hope will never arise. A large part of the Non-Commissioned staff of Co. A is drawn from this school. Their faithfulness to duty, and earnest desire to learn, have won for them the coveted insignia of rank and responsibility. These men form the back-bone of any army, and the officers of Co. A. are proud of their Non-Commissioned personnel. Though Young, and perhaps inexperienced, these men are not altogether untried in emergencies. On April Nineteenth, Nineteen twenty seven, they were called to Greenville for special duty on the levee. The sullen, dreary morning of April Twentieth, found five of them al lVlounds Landing, where, the levee broke. The coolness, bravery, discipline and devotion to duty, elicited the utmost praise from their officers and the citizens of the stricken area. Une private carried a message afoot from Mounds Landing to Greenville, in the face of the gravest danger. A sergeant, in just two words, voiced the thoughts of his comrades, when ordered to take the men to safety and leave their officer to guard government property he said, uweill sticlcn All of the men worked like beavers and had to be ordered out of dangerous places. For two days and nights, with practically no rest, and very little food, these men carried -un, ren- dering assistance and succor to refugees. Men who could not swim volunteered to man rescue boats, even after they had been informed of the extreme danger. The citizens of Greenville, Rolling Fork, Leland, and surrounding territory have nothing but praise for these youngsters who proved themselves men in an emergency. In all, this service lasted until May l0th, when the last of the unit was released. w : 2 2 s ,fir f 5 4 2 Q -, ' e - ' f 'YN E E Z E 'R' N f' X' wr X501 ' 5 f T- XAYK' fN..fs f' X ff-N A afkgsf rs -- . x N-K' 1- N' E- N'NN'- f -
