Our aim in this 1948 edition of the Mingo Chito is to present a complete summary of your activities at Yazoo City High School. We hope that, as you take up this book and look through it in the future, it will bring back all the pleasant memories of your high school days, and that that pleasure will increase with every passing year. THE STAFF MISS MARGARET HESTER Through her inestimable service and unfailing cooper- ation, she has endeared herself to students and members of Yazoo High School. Her sympathetic nature and genuine understanding are combined to make a sponsor of whom any senior class would be proud. How well we will remember her enthusiasm, versatility, and ability! And it is with pro- found appreciation for her services and her sterling char- acter that we dedicate this volume of Mingo Chito to Miss Margaret Hester.

Wise SUPERINTENDENT May the Mingo Chito recall to you many dear memories and pleasant associations in Yazoo City High School. May the factual information, mental and manual skills, social qualities, and cultural training acquired here enable you to live worthily in a democractic society and assume greater responsibilities for its wise direction and improvement! My best wishes go to you, the Seniors of 1948, as you grapple with the problems of tomorrow. n U i tW Superintendent PRINCIPAL I congratulate the senior class of 1948, the annual staff, and its sponsor in making the second edition of the Mingo Chito possible. Your progress and contribution to life and society will be watched with keen interest and appreciation. You can promote the great American way of life only if you contri- bute an honest, sincere, and intelligent participation in com- munity and governmental affairs. May I challenge you to a carefully planned life of service with faith in your fellow man, and most of all faith in God. Your friend, Charles L. McCormick Stanley C. Beers, B. A.

Its members aim to hold before the school such motives as shall induce others to aspire to scholarly habits, enlisting in worthy service and leading forward in all things that shall advance the welfare of the school. The selection of students for this honor each year is made on a purely objective basis. Each teacher having juniors and seniors in her class in requesting to make nom- inations from a list, furnished by the office, of these students who stand in the upper one-third of their classes in scholarship. All students named by as many as two teachers and then ranked—in Scholarship in order of their average grades; in Leader- ship and Character by averaging the rating assigned to them by each of their teachers on score cards for these traits; and in Service by ranking them in order of the total of service letter points which they have earned. The students having the highest total ranking are then named for the honor. The Press Club, although handicapped by a smaller membership than of any previous year, has worked hard this year to publish a school paper that would give an intimate and unbiased view of school life at Yazoo High. The editor, Annie Louise Davis, and the other members have tried to present the various activities of our school year in such a way that people who did not see them would understand the programs, life, and activities at our school. Our business manager, Liz Ball, has done a fine job of soliciting advertisements and of financing the paper in this way. The assistant editor, Laurie Stigler, and the assistant business manager, Billy Steen, are to be commended for the many helpful services which they rendered throughout the year. Praise must also be given to Patsy Temple, exchange editor; Berry Reece, sports editor and secretary; and William Morris, Junior High Reporter. Our sponsor, Miss Josephine North, has been invaluable in advising and guiding us so well. Her co-operative spirit and helpful nature have been the key factor in boosting our efforts toward a better paper.

Vice-President Billy Perry Secretary-Treasurer This year the club has adopted a new Constitution. The club is proud of its standing and wants to retain it. The purpose of the Y-Club is to help promote athletics in the school. It is com- posed of the best athletes in school and the best managers. The club will lose many of its members in the graduating class, but it has fine boys left to carry on and many coming athletes of the school will carry on in the future years.

Society Kelly Love Billy Perry Louis Wise A branch of the National Athletic Scholarship Society was first organized in the Yazoo City High School in 1945-46. This organization was founded in 1925 by a group of high school principals who felt that such an organization would encourage better scholarship, better sportsmanship, and better citizenship among high school athletes. The members of the National Athletic Scholarship Society are chosen on the basis of scholarship, sportsmanship, and citizenship. Boys are eligible who earn var- sity letters in either major or minor sports, and whose scholarship for three consecutive semesters is equal to or above the average of the school and who have exemplified the highest type of sportsmanship and of citizenship. In 1945-46 Riley Koonce, Basil Stricklin, and Ben Lester were awarded this honor. Donald Cox, Jimmy Crook, Ben Rusche, and Fred Young, Jr., were elected to member- ship in this society in 1946-47. This year the following students were elected to this society: Jerry Barrier, Segar Collier, Flint Liddon, Kelly Love, Billy Perry, and Louis Wise. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB This year under its able director, Miss Margart Brown, the Girls' Glee Club has practically doubled its membership over that of last year, attaining almost seventy members. In this group are many good singers, some of whom have done outstand- ing work during the past four years. Some of the important events of the year were the Christmas Tree Program, Christmas Pageant, presented jointly with the Dramatic Club, and Church Programs. In the spring some of the members attended the Choral Festival and State Music Contest, both of which were held in Jackson. President, Lela Coleman; Vice-President.

We now have ninety enthusiastic members. This year we sent our president, Nettie Carson, and social chairman, Ruby Stricklin, to the con- ference at Raymond, and they brought back many good ideas to us. At Halloween, we had a party which everyone enjoyed. Our radio program, which told of the Y-Teen organization and its aims, was enjoyed by many. At present, we are planning a party to be held in the gymnasium, and we will organize a soft ball team as we did last year. To raise money to send delegates to the conference this year, we are putting on a talent show in the audi- torium.

Its members have already participated in several programs. The Junior-Senior Dramatic Club and the Freshman-Sophomore Dramatic Club presented a play Death in the Library in assembly and, also, on the radio program sponsored by the Ricks Memorial Library. The club gave a Christmas pageant at the December meeting of the P. T. A., which was later given in assembly. During Christmas several members of the Junior-Senior Dramatic Club appeared on the Yazoo High School radio program. This spring a minstrel is being planned under the supervision of our sponsor, Miss Frances Oakley. The two dramatic clubs will work together on this program. freshman-sophomore DRAMATIC CLUB The Freshman-Sophomore Dramatic Club has put forth much hard work this year. As a result it has presented several entertaining plays. In recognition of Book Week, Death In The Library was presented in the high school auditorium and later over our local radio station. A contest was held between the girls and boys to see which could act the better in a womanless and manless wedding. These were presented ot both the Main Street School and the high school. At the end of the weddings, the audience voted for the better cast and each time the boys won. We feel that both boys and girls have shown fine acting and great talent.

Beers. Of the many jobs’' the band has to do, the playing and marching for the football games in the fall is one of the most important. Next in line is its performance at the State Band Festival which is held in the spring at our state capital. Last year our band won the highest ratings of any band in the state. The members of the band are proud of this record and hope to continue to bring high ratings back. Another great event during the last year was the trip to the Memphis Cotton Carnival. Three full days were spent in the city of Memphis, and a glorious time was had by all. The band is hoping to make this trip an annual affair. The loss of twenty members who will graduate will be a stiff blow to the band, but with many new members coming along we are sure that the record the bond has had so far will a goal toward which the younger members will aim. In the Band Room THE MERRY MAKERS Our dance band, which was organized la$t year, has developed into a very tine organization, and is giving Yazoo County an orchestra of which it can be proud. Several out of town engagements, as well as local ones, have been played; and as the orchestra will remain together through the summer months, it will have opportunities to fill any engagements which may come up then. Personnel of Orchestra: Joe Elliot, Jean Louis Dongieux, Billy Nelson, Jack Walker—Saxophones; Jimmie Fullilove, Jimmie Crook, Ralph Atkinson—Trumpets; Kelly Love, Stanley Beers—Trombones; Helen Chapman, Hayes Bardwell—Piano; Ben Rusche—Bass Violin; Chris Henick—Drums.

Patrick Malcolm Shackleford Head Coach Athletic Director Louis Thorton Assistant Coach Ii companied the Yazoo Braves into their grid battles. Donald Cox—Center Basil Stricklin—Q. B. Co-captain and center won the admiration and respect of his coaches and teammates by fighting his heart out on both offense and defense. Donald has lettered in football three years and his loss to the team will be a great one. Donald is a fast and aggresive center at all times. Co-captain Basil Stricklin helped to lead the Yazoo Indians through a successful sea- son with his splendid leadership and excellent playing. He is a senior this year and will be hard to replace. Basil has earned four letters in football at Yazoo High. He is considered one of the four outstanding backs in the state. Ben Rusche 'Bull is the newly elected captain for next year's foot- ball team. He is a junior who gave many an opponent trouble with his hard tackling, valuable blocking, and powerful line plunging. Ray Jones, Bobby McCarley Managers These boys took pride in their managerial duties, keeping the boys in the best of shape both physically and spiritually. Sam Pugh—L.H. Slinging Sam as he is known to his team mates is a color- ful passer and runner and was a valuable factor in the success of the team. Sam is a junior and great things are expected of him next year. Seger Collier— Collier'' is one of the outstanding ends in the Middle Miss- issippi District. He is a good offensive and defensive end. Collier caught many passes for long gains during the season, and scored the Indian's last touchdown in their post season game with Indian- ola. He is a senior, and will be missed very much next year. 1SU Joe Crawford—Tack- le. Yazoo’s own mighty monster . He is practically immov- able on defense, and a hard scrapper on of fense. He will be of valuable aid to the team next year. Paul Comola—Center. Paul, a scrappy little Sophomore, came through with plenty of fight and was a valuable as- set to the Indian squad. We're expecting him to carry the colors two more years. Bob Hamrick—Tackle—Bob has plenty of spirit, and although it was his first year of football he rendered valuable service to the Indians by his aggressive blocking and vicious tackling. Jerry Barrier—;H. B. Jerry was outstanding as a sopho- more as a fast, hard-running wing-back. The Indians wi be depending on him for e lot of ball carrying ner year. r. James Melton—H. B. Al- though James was only a sophomore, he lettered in his first year. He is one of our best defensive half-backs and also a good offensive man. He has improved stea- dily throughout the year, and great things are ex- pected of him in following years. Edwin Lyles—Guard Monk was one of the most power- ful guards. He deserves much praise for his dependable work on both offense and defense. He will be with us next year. Albert Stricklin—Center Albert, a newcomer to the squad, showed great improvement as the sea- son progressed and before the season was well under way he was in there “scrapping with the best of them. Were expecting great things from him next year. Eddie Orsborn—H. B. Yazoo’s mighty Mite —shifty runner and hard to tackle, consis- tently made long gains. Pon Tackett—Guard Pon, a sophomore was al- most immovable on defense and blocked well on offense. He will be flying the Yazoo colors for two more years. Louis Wise—HB Better known as Skippy, was almost impossible to stop after he started on a journey to the goal line. We are ex- pecting him to really go places next year. Lamar Simmons—Tackle Tooter proved a valuable asset to the squad this past year. His steady hitting from the tackle spot has made many opponents weep. He is a senior and will be missed greatly next year. Jimmy Moore—End Popsicle” playing his first year with the Indians proved to be a good pass receiver and all round good end. Charles Guard Middleton , handicapped weight, is classed as one of the outstanding guards in the state. His hard blocking and tackling was a valuable asset to the success of the teams. He is a senior and will be missed greatly next year. Kelly Love—Tackle Kelly, handicapped only by his weight, proved to be a great prospect when it came to knock- ing'' He is a senior, and his ab- sence will be of a loss to next year's squad. Clyde Clunan______End This was Clunan’s first year out and he showed great athletic possibilities by rendering valuable service to the Indians. James Stricklin— Tackle Bub was a stalwart in the line and ren- dered valuable service to the Indians last year. Since he is a sophomore, we expect to see much more of him. ll J. C. Crawford—Tackle Leeko contributed much to the spirit of the squad. Although he is a newcomer, he rendered valuable ser- vice to the Indians. He is a senior and will be missed next year. % A' Jimmy Crook—End Crook's blocking and determin- ation meant a lot to the success of the team. Crook is a senior and will be missed by his teammates next year. Henry Forrest—End Bubber , a new com- er to the squad this year, was a good de- fensive man and out- standing pass receiver. He is a senior and will be greatly missed by the team next'year. Carol Fletcher—F. B. Fletcher , one of our smallest and youngest Indians was a very valuable man to the squad with his tackling, blocking, and line plunging. Great things are ex- pected of him next year. Billy Perry—Q. B. Billy proved to be a valuable member of the Indian squad. He is a senior this year and will be a great loss to the team next year. Shack's first year came through nicely. His fighting determin- ation aided him in de- veloping into a color- ful and valuable run- ner. Shack is a senior and his absence will be a loss to the squad. Billy Vandevere—Tackle Billy, a sophomore, showed great improvement as the season got under way and before it was over, he was in there hitting with the best. Great things are expected from him during the next two years. S ‘M Irvin Shackelford— ROYALTY AT ITS BEST, Y. H. S.

The hot summer sun thoroughly seasoned the squad for the first game of the season against Mendenhall. A heavy rain prevailed and the lone tally of the game came in the third period when Rusche dashed over for 6 points. The next game with Indian- ola was entirely an upset, and the Indians went down to a 13 to 0 defeat. The follow- ing week Grenada won over the Indians only because of the Redskins' inability to hold the ball. Rolling Fork was an easy victory for the Indians and it ended with a score of 45 to 0. Brandon also went down to the war dance of the Indians. This was the night of Homecoming and everything looked favorable as Miss Lillian Rene Greer was crowned Queen of the squad along with her maids. Misses Liz Ball and Grace Ball. Our only venture into the Big Eight Conference came with Natchez beating us 34 to 7. After such a defeat we came back by defeating the Kosciusko Whippets 7 to 0 the following week. Another upset of the season came when Forest Hill trounced over us 20 to 6. Leland, later declared the Delta Champions, came down down for a supposedly easy victory, but returned home very disappointed because a determined Indian eleven fought them to a 6 to 0 victory. Many Indians made this their outstanding game of the year. Next came the annual turkey day tilt with Canton, our friends from the East. Completely outclassed, the Indians fell to a 27 point defeat. The Yazoo Indians accepted an invitation to play in a Memorial Bowl game in Indianola and won a victory of 18 to 6. This ended the 1947 season and much credit must be given to the Yazoo City Touchdown Club, Football Mothers and other civic clubs, as well as our loyal fans for their support.

Third Row: Josephine Williams, Mgr.; Ruth Miriam Rosen, Mgr.; Mable Jean Pettigrew, Nora Dykes, Elizabeth Ann Clark, Ruby Stricklin, Miss Meadie Montgomery, asst. Coach; Miss Margaret Hester, Head Coach. The Yazoo City girls' “basketeers of 1947-48 finished their regular season with the first perfect record in the history of the school. At this writing the Indian- ettes boast of twelve wins and no losses plus three wins in the Sub-Regional Tourna- ment held at Yazoo City. This was the girls' second tournament to win since they captured the twelve-team Invitational Tournament Trophy at Rolling Fork, Mississippi. Coach Margaret Hester, assisted by Miss Meadie Montgomery, will take her charges to Raymond for the Regional Tournament, and hopes are high that Yazoo City can continue this undefeated record. With five starting girls graduating, little was expected of the Yazoo City girls this season, but Miss Hester has assembled a powerful aggregation. The team was built around Capt. Liz Ann Ball, only starter from last year's team, and Elizabeth Ann Clark, a sophomore forward. Last year’s substitutes have filled the breach well. The starting linoup has consisted usually of Jo Ann Turner, Dykes and Clark as forwards; Ball, Stricklin, Davis or Pettigrew as guards. Capabl.e reserves have been Norman, Greer, and Everett as forwards, and Roberts and Milner as guards. In fifteen all winning efforts the Indianettes have piled up 510 points to their opponents 299. Of these 510 points Clark and Dykes have scored 403; 203 for Clark and 200 for Dykes. The other points have been divided among the other four for- wards. Since Dykes and Clark will both be back for next year, great things are antic- ipated.

The Yazoo City Indians have failed to keep pace with their tremendous girls' team but have fought hard in every game. They were eliminated by a determined Benton five in the semi-finals of the Sub-Regional Tournament. Again it was a low score defensive battle 23-16. The Indians record at the present time reads seven won and five lost, two of these five being one point thrillers. With only one senior. Capt. Irvin Shackelford on the team, even Yazoo's three sensational freshmen of last year, Wilkinson, Orsborn, and Barrier, were not equal to the test of stiff competition. Inexperience has time and again handicapped the team when steadiness would have pulled them out. Their tenseness and over-anxious- ness should iron out by next year. Sam Pugh and Jimmie Moore, both juniors on this year's squad, will return to give Yazoo City a much better quintet than this season. Flint Liddon. R. D. Cheatham, Ray Shepherd, and Billy Perry and Marvin Marquis have looked good as reserves. All except Perry are sophomores. Uncle Hubert Wilkinson and Edwin Lyles are good freshmen prospects and Mike Hartje and Bobo Myers are expected to come through in a couple of years. All in all, although their won and lost record doesn't show it, Yazoo City is well stocked in basketball talent. Add to this Coach Thornton's rampaging Junior-High team, and the picture looks anything but dull for the future. Experience is what they need most, and the years will take care of that. In twelve games the Indians have amassed 362 points, while holding the op- ponents to 273. This is an average per game of 30 to 22 and a fraction. This is a good average but the bad part is that the Indians were able to get points easily when they didn’t need them and unable to get them when they needed them. Individual high scorers have been Clarence Wilkinson and Irvin Shackelford, but the players have all shared, especially Moore, Pugh, Liddon, Barrier, Orsborn and Cheatham.

It had a very successful season with 6 wins and 4 losses, two of which were to Central High of Jackson, who were later declared Southeastern State champions. The 1948 team will be handicopped by the loss of such players as Lester, Young, Jones. Simmons, and Grantham. These boys graduated and will be missed greatly, especially Lester, our hurler, who must get much credit for the success of the team.
