May your MINGO CHITO be the means of perpetuating the school activities, comradeship, and pleasant associations of 1950 in the happy memories of the future. In your quest for happine ss and success in the years ahead, I commend to you the wisdom and philosophy of the Bard of Avon pronounced more than three centuries ago: This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man .

May the joy of your congratulations be commensurate with the long hours of unselfish endeavor. In the future, my wish is that your crown of suc- cess be studded with such gems of character, knowledge, and training as you have so handsomely exemplified at Yazoo City High School. B.

GRID ROYALTY Maid Jo Ann Turner, Queen Carolyn Wilkins, Maid Mary Ann Griffith reigned at the Homecoming classic between Yazoo City and Cleveland Yazoo’s Redskins terminated the regular 1949 grid campaign with a seven won, four lost record and a 3-1 Delta Valley Conference showing. The Delta Chieftains, in bowing to Belzoni's oft-beaten Warriors 19-18 at the first of the season, lost all opportunities to deadlock Drew's Eagles for the D. V. C. championship, and likewise dropped into runner-up position, only a shade behind the up-Delta Champs. Sophomore speed-merchant Hilary Bubba” Barrier sparked the Skins in team- tallying with eight touchdowns, or 48 counters, trailed closely by another left half, Eddie Orsborn, with 42, quarterback Jerry Barrier with 30, and wingback R. D. Cheatham’s 24. Following an arduous spring session, the '49 edition of Y. H. S.’s Indians took to the turf August 15 in preparation for the coming grid season, under the able super- vision of two former Ole-Mississippians, Head Mentor Oscar Buck’’ Buchanan, and his assistant, Harold C. Kelly. Previously Monk” Lyles had been chosen captain, and halfback, Eddie Orsborn the alternate. Head Director Buchanan fielded a senior-studded starting crew for the initial encounter with Redwood, and the Yazoonans blanked a surprisingly competent visiting eleven, 19-0. The following Friday in Natchez, however, the Big 8 (teen) Rebels tram- ped the Redskins, 25-12. Reb Bill Parks tallied thrice. In D. V. C. action the Skins smothered Indianola s chiefs 38-12, but bowed the next week to a keyed-up Belzoni aggregation in an upset, 19-18. Bubba Barrier cleated pay dust three times. Cleveland and Grenada fell in that order, 12-0, and 20-14, in Crump Stadium duels, and a weak Utica Eagle squad, in a game tabbed as a tune-up for the next Friday's Kosciusko battle, was skunked 33-0, with reserves seeing unlimited service. Kosciusko's vaulted Whippets lashed the Tribesmen 20-6 before near 3,000 home fans, but a seven touchdown onslaught buried Hazelhurst 45-0 on November 4. Lcland's Cubs fell to a mighty Yazoo offensive, 34-6 in a D. V. C. feud. Canton s Panthers tallied an up-set win over Yazoo City in their thirtieth engage- ment Thanksgiving Day, 26-19, before 3,000 in the Madison city. Center Paul Comola was chosen “Most Valuable” by his teammates in an annual award given him at the Touchdown Club banquet January 21.

All-Choctaw Alan Muirhead smashed to a first down before the Barrier boys, Bubba (on ground) and Jerry knock him turfward.

Others indentifiable in the picture are Hugo Shull (far left). Panther Bob Wright (No. 10) and Muirhead (No. 33). A gathering of well over 3,000 sees Jerry Barrier skirt the right flank for a substantial chunk of turf in the annual Thanksgiving Day Can- ton duel.

Yazoo’s classy Indianettes appear well on the way to another highly successful cage campaign, as this article goes to press. Having captured the D. V. C. and sub-regional crowns, and also the Middle Mississippi title in a terrific ’48-’49 season. Head Coach Margaret Hester s lassies boast brilliant chances to top last year’s great achievements. As this edition goes to press, results of the forthcoming D. V. C. and sub-regional tourneys are unobtainable. Previously, Jo Ann Turner, forward, had been chosen as team captain, and guard Ruby Stricklin, sextet alternate. The Indianettes opened the season with three successive triumphs, over Coxburg, Belzoni, and Vicksburg, and then dropped a heartbreaker to Canton's Pantherettes in a big upset, 37-32. Since then, the Yazooans have walloped six additional foes with comparative case. Highlights of the season thus far have been the amazing work of ace pivot- forward Nora Dykes, who in the initial ten duels averaged 24 points per game, and the brilliant efforts put forth by a trio of small, but scrappy guards. Yazoo’s Indianettes will drop only two regulars via graduation, Turner and Stricklin, and though loss of their services will be a great handicap, still another great season is anticipated for 1950.

V. C. and sub-district basketball meets, the results of which at present are not obtainable. Coach Harold Kelly has fielded a cage group composed chiefly of seniors and sophs, an extremely small but scrappy Indian basketball crew. Senior Clarence Wilkinson was elected captain, guard Eddie Orsborn his alternate. Wilkinson, a slam-bang high-tallying pivot, injured a trick knee early in the campaign, however, and the lose of his services had been almost impossible to replace, before his mid-season comeback. In the season's opening 12 duels Yazoo has come out victorious in 4, while dropping the other 8 to opponents of greater size and with more accurate goal marksmen. Through graduation Coach Kelly loses seven of the first fifteen, but prospects for a great 1950-51 season seem bright.

Only two seniors gained a starting berth on a squad composed chiefly of juniors and freshmen. Five regulars had not seen previous action. Facing these difficulties, Yazoo's Indians captured wins over Flora. Bentonia, Benton, and Satartia, losing to Flora, Benton, Bentonia, and Satartia in return engage- ments, and also to Jackson Central. Outfielder Buddy Melton copped the batting trophy with a lusty .381 average. Pitcher Ray Jones was a standout all season hurling an 11-0 shutout against Benton in the campaign’s finals, after losing three decisions by one run. Louis L. Thornton was head baseball mentor.

Under Coach Sabin Rush's keen supervison, Yazoo's teams were able to send four representatives to the State meet—Rosie Norman, Sam Pugh, Skip Wise, and Bobby Pugh. Yazoo's amazing girl athlete, Rosamond Norman, returned to the finals this season to run off with first place in the 50 yard dash, first in the broad jump, and second in the 75 yarder by inches. She was only a sophomore. Sam Pugh took second in the state pole vault, and fourth in the broad jump; younger brother Bobby injured his back and was unable to compete; and Skip Wise placed in the 220.

Its members aim to hold before the school such motives as shall induce others to aspire to scholarly habits, cr listing 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 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.

The officers are elected from the student body at large. The representatives are chosen by the various classes of high school. The purposes of the Council are: to foster and promote the best interest of the school; to promote closer relationships between the school faculty, the student body, and the administration; to assist in the directing of the student activities program; to promote a better school spirit among the students and to promote other desirable activities throughout the school. Much planning and organizational work has necessarily precluded part of this year's work by the Council. Since the election in January and the installation in February, this fine group has made rapid strides in proving themselves capable and trustworthy. Detailed plans for their first project are under way at this writing and many worth while activities are expected.

It gives the members an opportunity to develop initiative, co-operation, and leadership by participating in club activities. The programs for the year have been based on personality traits. We feel that the social graces will be very important when we begin our careers. During this year the Office Training Club has visited offices in the town to prepare us for our future work. By familiarizing ourselves with the business world now, we should be more capable when we take our places in it. By seeing what is required in the different offices, some of our members have determind exactly what field of secre tarial work they want to enter. The commercial subjects furnish a firm background, but we want to know the real business world. The motto of the 4-H Club is To Make the Best Better. Its aim is to enroll all boys from ten to twenty years of age in 4-H club work and to help new members select the best projects, based on their needs. The 4-H Club meets once each month and has programs planned to suit the interest of the club members. The 4-H Club encourages work in leadership training, recreation and public speaking. Every 4-H member is encouraged to turn in a record of the year’s work in order to compete for state and district prizes.

The High School Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Frances Oakley, has an enrollment of thirty members. Original skits which have been written by the members will be produced in the spring and judged by out-of-town judges. These skits will be judged for the writing, production, and acting. A Negro Minstrel will be a feature attraction in the near future. Proceeds from the original skits and minstrel will go toward improving the present stage setting and adding some new needed props. Members of the Dramatic Club participated in a play entitled The Magic Book that was put on during Book-Week, which was November 13-18. The members of the Dramatic Club will aid in any stage settings throughout the year.

The purpose of the club is to keep the library attractive at all times by using a vari- ation of posters, flowers, and attractive bulletin boards. A poster contest is planned. The club has been divided into six groups. Each group will submit a poster as will each individual in the club. The posters will then be judged by outside judges. The national theme Make Friends With Books was carried out in the presentation of living characters from the well known classics at an early assembly program during Book Week. A play, carrying out a similar idea, was given at the November P. T. A. pro- gram. An open house is planned by the club at which time we hope all friends and patrons will call to see our work achieved as well as the very good collection we have in our library. future 0r¥ome KCi6er4 ?4mertca The F.

The Yazoo City High School Band, under the direction of Stanley C. Beers, has made a high reputation for itself in the field of music. For the past four years it has come back from the State Festival with as many honors as any band could possibly have. This includes first division ratings in Concert, Sight-reading and Marching. Being a good band member is more than just winning honors or making trips. The band gives each member a satisfaction which only comes from actual performance on an instrument. This includes love of good music, ability to appreciate the high type of instrumentalist, and a better understanding and appreciation of all types of music.

The sixth period band consists of all those students who have had at least three months training and who are not yet advanced enough to be members of the concert band. However, there are a few who were to have been transferred to the seventh period band but could not get their schedule arranged. This group furnishes additional players for the marching band as well as being a feeder for the concert band. As members get proficient enough on their horn they are transferred to the concert band. This keeps a constant source of supply to overcome the effects of graduation. Mr. Beers is very proud of this group of young musicians and hopes to build it to the point so that it will be a qualified band within itself. r O HuLj JUNIOR HIGH ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM 4 i GIRLS’ JUNIOR HIGH 4-H CLUB Row 1: Armonita Barrier, Jean Woodard, Ruby Wyldman, Patricia Stevens, Charlene Maxwell, Elsie Dozier, Valorie Harrison, Jo Ann Paschal, Geneva McCuller, Ann Fen- nell, Eva Dean Pickle, Janett Woods, Lane Ward, Linda Lou Jenkins, Linda Bell Middle- ton.
