Ben Rusche — Captain, Carolyn Wilkins — Maid, Sam Pugh — Alt. Captain, Joan Turner — Maid On August 17, 41 Indians reported for practice, eager in anticipation of the coming season. The Indians rounded into shape rather quickly, having benefited greatly by the arduous spring practice. On Friday, September 17, the Indians took the field against their sole Big 8 (teen) foe. Natchez. To have gone down in defeat to the tune of 34-14, the Indians showed surprising prowess. The next weeJc hard work was the keynote of the practice for the encounter with Indianola. Against the India- nolans, the Indians tasted of victory for the first time, 25-7. The Indians next took on the Warriors from Belzoni in a renewal of rivalry, trouncing them 34-6 in one of the best games ever witnessed by local fans. On October 8 the Indians journeyed to Cleveland for the first game in the history of the two schools, with Yazoo coming out ahead 25-7. The Indians journeyed to Grenada for the next encounter. Very early in the game the Indians lost the services of Alt. Capt. Sam Pugh, which were sorely missed: but in his shoes stepped Dicky Bird Wise. The Indians fought o grim, determined battle which resulted finally in a victory, 25-18. Next came the breather of the year. The Indians turned back Puckett 38-0. The Indians next encountered Kosciusko, probably the strongest team faced during the year. With several Indians ailing, defeat was tasted, 25-6. The highlight of the annual homecoming celebration was the Indians-Hazlehurst game. The Queen, Miss Dora Lee Livingston, along with her two maids. Misses Carolyn Wilkins and Joan Turner, were crowned to reign over the festivities. The Indians, with this inspiration, came out on top 25-20. The Leland tilt was a game for a supposed D.V.C. Championship. The Cubs hit hard, defeating the Indians 20-6. The Indians putting up a ferocious battle, fighting their traditional rivals on Thanksgiving Day before the largest crowd ever to witness a game on Crump Field, made the whole season successful by defeating the Panthers of Canton 7-0. This victory made us eligible for the championship of District 6. The Indians defeated Clinton for the Class A Championship of District 6. Due to the fact that a play-off game with Drew was impossible, the Yazoo Indians and the Drew Eagles were declared Co-Champs of the Delta Valley Confer- ence organized this year and including Yazoo High as a charter member. Thusly, the Indians defeated their three traditional rivals: Indianola, Belzoni. Cleveland won the Class A Championship of District 6 and were declared Co-Champs of the D.V.C. Jackets were presented to the lettermen of the squad in the assembly program of Friday January 28. The Football Mothers and the Touchdown Club awarded the lackets, which were some of the most beautiful in the history of the school : • ■ .■ h ’ • 5 - ■ • ..

This year the Yazoo City girls of 1948-49 have been led by their two co- captains Mable Jean Pettigrew and Elizabeth Ann Clark, a very unusual situation. Getting off to a slow start, the Yazoo Indianettes played Satartia. Due to the lack of practice, the Indians were defeated by one point. Yazoo has played ten scheduled games. Because of their reputation and achievements, they were invited to play Forest Hill in the March of Dimes tournament in Jackson. Yazoo, having always been an arch rival of Forest Hill, was beaten by nine points, Dykes being high scorer and Clark close behind. The Yazoo guards were outstanding and showed great form. On February 3, 4, 5, the Yazoo girls attended the D. V. C. tournament at Cleve- land and played Leland, Belzoni and in the finals played Cleveland. Yazoo by ex- cellent team work defeated Cleveland for the D. V. C. championship and were pre- sented a trophy for this accomplishment. Yazoo, losing only one first string guard last year, was able to replace that guard. Yazoo has showed the same fine form of last year. The only regulars from this year's squad that will graduate are Mable Jean Pettigrew and Elizabeth Ann Clark. They will be missed greatly by the team, but Yazoo being well equipped has more splendid players to replace them. The future looks bright.

A large number reported and workouts were begun immediately. Two games were played before Christmas and practice was continued during the holidays. As the season progressed, the Indians rounded into shape and probably played their best game of the year against Belzoni, winning 41-39. Soon afterwards the Indians met Benton and were soundly trounced, but one week later the two teams met again. During the entire game, with the exception of two minutes, the Indians held at least a 4 point margin. But in those two minutes, the Bentonites forged ahead and won two points. But the victory for Benton was even more a consolation to the Indians. On February 3, 4, 5. the Indians attended the Delta Valley Conference Tourna- ment at Cleveland dnd were eliminated by Belzoni. On February 17, 18, 19, the Indians will enter the Middle Mississippi Regional Tournament at Yazoo City. At this writing the results are unobtainable. The Indians, led by Capt. Jimmy Moore, are coached by L. L. Thornton.

Handicapped by the loss of 1947's most valuable performers, and also by the lack of experience existing among the candidates, Coach Louis Thornton grouped together a potent, fast-learning aggregation with only two seniors on the starting nine, the nucleus of the squad freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Facing these difficulties, the 1948 Yazoo High baseball team captured three contests, while dropping seven, to older, more capable opponents. The Indians scalped Satartia in the season's opener, then lost to Flora, Benton twice. Bentonia twice, Central of Jackson twice, and Satartia in a return engagement. Yazoo also swamped Flora in their second meeting. Bubba” Forest, senior infielder won the batting average contest within a near 300. Other standouts were Tutter Simmons, infield-pitcher: Ray Jones, pitcher; and Jimmy Moore, infield-outfield. Highlights of the season was a triple-play staged by Flora's top-notch infield, a one-hitter hurled by Benton's Pepper, and several nice pitching jobs on the part of Jones. 1948 RESULTS Yazoo City 4 Jackson 8 Yazoo City 3 Bentonia 2 Yazoo City 2 Jackson 7 Yazoo City 3 Flora 4 Yazoo City 0 Benton 7 Yazoo City 5 Flora 4 Yazoo City 5 Benton 9 Yazoo City 9 Satartia 5 Yazoo City 1 Bentonia 2 Yazoo City 10 Satartia 3 1948 TRACK TEAMS 1st Row: Louis Vandevere, Charles Middleton, Skop Wise, Sparky” Warren, Eddie Orsborn, Bobby Bailey, James Vaughn, Flint Liddon. 2nd Row: Jack Lewis, Nick Davis, Robert Smith, Ben Rusche, Irvin Shackelford, Jerry Barrier, Basil Stricklin, Bud Hester, Nolan Harrell, Sam Pugh, Coach Shackelford, Jimmy Moore. RESUME OF 1948 TRACK SEASON The 1948 track team under Coach Malcolm Shackelford showed interest and versatility that long has been absent from the teams. The Indians attended several dual and triangular meets in preparation for the annual Middle Miss. Meet. On April 23 the Indians journeyed to Clinton to this meet with 16 schools represented. The girls paced the team to a fourth place by scoring 14 points in 5 events. Rosamond Norman placed first in girls' broad jump with a jump of 15' 4' 2 . The boys scored 20 points in 9 events, led by Sam Pugh- with 9 points, earned by placing first in pole vault, second in broad jump, and fourth in discus. The contestants placing first and second attended the State Meet at Clinton. Those eligible from Yazoo were Sam Pugh and Rosamond Norman. Pugh placed first in the state in the broad jump with a jump of 2 I' 4 . Norman placed fourth in the girls broad jump, thus ending a successful track season. 1st Row: Patty Gerrard, Betty Coleman, Jo Ann Pennington, Nancy Jo Golden, Betty Ann Rusche, Martha Davis. 2nd Row: Rosie Norman, Billie Jo Fields.

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. Jerry Barrier Helen Lewis Carolyn Wilkins Jo Ann Turner 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 is requested to make nominations from a list (furnished by the office) of students who stand in the upper one-third of their classes in scholarship. All students named by as many as two teachers are then ranked—in Scholarship in order of their average grades; in Leadership 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 this honor. National Athletic Scholarship Society Louis Wise Flint Liddon Ben Rusche Jerry Barrier James Striclclir Tommy Campbell Pon Tackett Chuck Barrack Tommy Foard 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 con- secutive 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; in 1946-47. Donald Cox, Jimmy Crook. Ben Rusche. and Fred Young. Jr.; in 1947-48, Jerry Barrier. Segar Collier. Flint Liddon. Kelly Love. Billy Perry, and Louis Wise; and this year Tommy Campbell. James Stricklin. Pon Tackett. Chuck Bar- rack and Tommy Foard.

The Press Club, the high school journalism club, is in charge of the school paper, The Flashlight. Every member has done his part in the past year to publish a paper of which he could be proud and to edit one which would do its task of informing its student and adult subscribers of school activities and happenings. The Press Club also plays a part in acquainting its members with the fundament- als of newspaper writing, of dealing with and understanding people. It teaches them greater appreciation of the problems of other newspapers; it serves to broaden their interests in many ways and to prepare them for future study or employment in the fields of either editorial or advertising work. In charge of the editorial work is Laurie Stigler, our editor, who, with her capable assistant editor, Berry Reece, has tried to give a varied and well-rounded picture of Yazoo High School life. Promoting our advertising and keeping a close check on every finance is Billy Steen, business manager, ably assisted by Sonny Temple. They have supported the paper well by soliciting advertisements from the business firms of Yazoo City and acting as our contact men. Joyce Holaday. exchange editor; William Morris, sports editor; and Martha Davis, secretary, are to be commended for their invaluable aid throughout the year. We wish to thank Mrs. J. W. Parker, our sponsor, for her guidance and assistance the past year. Her ready co-operation and helpful advice have proved a major factor in keeping us moving toward our goal of Each Flashlight a better Flashlight .

Initiations are held semi-annually for the purpose of inducting new members. A boy is eligible for the membership in the Y-Club if he has lettered in one of the four major athletics sponsored by the school. The Y-Club this year is giving gold keys to the Senior members and this practice will probably become a-custom in the future.

Not In Picture: The purpose of the Y-Teen is, To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. In this endeavor we seek to understand Jesus, to sh re his love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. This year the Y-Teens have seventy-four loyal and interested members. This year we used a very impressive initiation service for those who entered our club for the first time. That same night we entertained parents, teachers, and friends with a weiner roast. During the year we worked on a radio program in which we gave a very interesting skit, staged a talent program to raise money, and prepared Christ- mas boxes for the unfortunate children in Europe.

The Junior Y-Teen Club of Yazoo High School was organized at the opening of school this year to provide for the Junior High and Freshman girls an organization similar in purpose and program to the Senior Y-Teens. The organization attempts through its meetings and activities to help its members develop in the three phases of life—physical, mental, and spiritual—represented by its symbol, the Blue Triangle. Our theme for 1948-49 is Match to your Dream the Deed. The dreams of the Committees include an installation service, some good parties, three worth- while program units, and a number of service projects. May they match to these dreams the deed!

We also gave another as- sembly program in December and one in the spring. We are planning to give a three act play at night sometime after Christmas and are to give a P.T.A. program.

We planned two big social events, one a big party given around Christmas, the other an outdoor event in the spring. Our main dramatic work was in the form of a minstrel, which received much thought. Perhaps we should say that our main aim is to satisfy he school with assembly programs when we are asked, but we feel it's primarily to have fun. We have a good club this year and expect to fulfill our aims and speedily become the first and fore most club in school.

Rush, a leader in the Hi-Y work for many years. Before adjournment last year the club raised enough money to send Flint Lid- don as the delegate to the Fifth National Hi-Y Congress at Oxford, Ohio. The conference, held June 25-30, brought boys together from all over the United States. The calendar for the year 1948-49 included participation in the Junior Red Cross Drive, giving to the March of Dimes, attending the district conference, spon- soring a Hi-Y basketball team, and programs in other Hi-Y clubs of the state. TIDE CLUB Trade, Industrial and Distributive Education Clubs, commonly called Tide Clubs, were organized for the purpose of providing a medium for the exchange of ideas, methods, and information pertaining to vocational education; to promote good fel- lowship and closer relationship and a fraternalistic spirit among the club members; to provide a “clearing house for ideas and information contributed by various clubs; to promote trade and industrial and distributive education throughout our state and nation; to cooperate with other organizations in the promotion of worthy educational ideas; to foster a cooperative spirit among schools, students and em- ployers; to encourage a professional attitude in work and study.

Members are led to feel that they have a useful part of the world’s work to do and that, in doing it, they may grow mentally, socially, and spiritually; that they, as an integra! part of the community have a definite responsibility in improving their community and in making it finer in every way. Perhaps the most outstanding results of 4-H Club work are those concerned with attitude building, which in turn leads to constructive effort. Surprising accomplish- ments have been observed after young people have developed those ideals that make for progressive rural leadership. Among such ideals the most noticable have been those bringing about effective service in the home, on the farm, and in the home community, that often have led to the improvement of the whole community. Other results include development of an enriched outlook and more far-reaching vision; in- creasingly recognized ability to organize and cooperate in home and community un- dertakings; development of a health conciousness and standard; economic indepen- dence; advantages of further education and travel; acquaintance with sources of ac- curate information in agriculture and home economics; and worth-while friendships with outstanding men and women of the community and state.

A nice selection of gifts was sent to each. We also adopted a Home Ec. class in Ger many and had a very interesting correspondence with it. In order to make money, the club made sandwiches and sold them and candy at the basketball games. The club is to be used in further improvement of the department. The officers and sponsor had the pleasure of attending F. H. A. sub-district meetings which are held in Jackson. The following are the goals and ideals of the club and around which the programs are built: Improving ourselves; contributing to our games; co-operating for school betterment; developing our organization; preparing for careers in homemaking; serv- ing our school; community, state, and nation; promoting international good will; promoting individual, family, and community recreation.

As a member, one develops co-operation, initiative, and leadership. Through work in the club one is taught what business expects of her and learns to live better by learning more about business. The club has shown many films dealing with the secretary in action. From these films we learn the proper way of applying for a job, and the correct procedure on the job.

It is composed of the assistant librarians and a group of girls who do monitorial work in the library. As yet it is not an accredited club, and no extra curricular credit can be given until the club has proven its worth. We hope, however, to take our place among the regular clubs in a year or two. The main duties of the Library Club are to keep the study hall clean and filled with flowers, mend old books and magazines, fix any new books which the school buys, and check books in and out. On December 3. the librarians from six counties including Yazoo County met in Yazoo City for a sub-district meeting with Miss Mannie Berry, state supervisor of libraries.

Last year at the state band contest this band won first division in every event, including concert playing, sight-reading, and marching. Only two other bands in the state equaled this record. Yazoo City is proud of its band and of the success it has made dur- ing the football season. Marching is an essential part of this work and many hours are spent to perfect the maneuvers put on at the football games.

JUNIOR HIGH PRESS CLUB The most important project which the Junior Press Club has undertaken this vear has been the editing of the Junior Highlights, a paper to cover Junior High ac- tivities. In addition fo this, different types of creative writing have been studied, with club members trying their hands on special preferences. Serious and humorous poetry, sketches, reviews, and even narratives have been attempted. A Junior Press Club serves as an introduction to journalism and only the funda- mentals have been stressed, with the purpose of interesting members in later ad- vanced work.

The Junior Band meets every day at the sixth period and is the nucleus for the Concert Band. Twice a year this band gives a public concert which has always been an outstanding success. Playing before both the High School student body and the Elementary School student body this group of young musicians has made an enviable record for itself. After spending one year in the beginning band, most of the players spend another year in the Junior Band getting ready for the Concert Band. As members are needed for the advanced band, this group acts as a feeder, and musicians are transferred as needed.

The purpose of the club is to develop leadership in individuals and to promote a sense of civic responsibility among junior high boys. Besides the civic and religious aspects, the club also serves as a social organization. Many interesting programs are given throughout the year. JUNIOR HIGH 4-H CLUB The Junior 4-H Clubs have the same organization, functions, and purpose as the regular 4-H clubs. The only reasons for this Junior division are that better co-operation and interest was noted with the younger members in a club of their own, and then there are a few projects in the 4-H Clubs not practicable for the younger members.
