Yazoo City High School - Mingo Chito Yearbook (Yazoo City, MS)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1953 volume:

I The doors of Yazoo High School have closed on another school year. We find that we are unable to resist taking a long, lingering look back over the events that have made this year so memorable and the people with whom we have enjoyed them. Come with us, the staff of the Mingo Chito, as we make our tour of this school year. We sincerely hope that this is a sentimental journey that you will make often throughout the years as you open this yearbook, thumb through its pages and unlock the doors of your memories, which will allow you to relive this year of 1952-53 which you spent at YHS. To this end we have worked to give you a faithful reproduction of the happenings of this year. As you reminisce over this annual, may it bring you the same glow of pleasure that you experienced during your wonderful school days. Because of your merry heart, unfailing courage, loyal devotion and unwavering faith in boys and girls, we proudly dedicate this 1953 edition of the MINGO CHITO. rjB r; ®- - V 'v-t J3 SvtV.■r= - £tZJ$-- r£'-— 'iMj;.n gTO£3Sft£%gSS! ; 'I £_fj JifT, «iJU FLORA GREEN JIMMY NEELD BILL HOLMES SHELBY LIGHTCAP JOAN JACKSON JACK DeCELL Sponsors MISS JO ANN PEGRAM MRS.

Ali Ben Abu Taleb Congratulations to the Senior Class for the fine yearbook you are publishing this year.1 Its hi h standards are in keeping with what we expect from you. You have acquired technical information and developed work habits, ideals, attitudes, and concepts of thought and behavior which will enable you to earn a livelihood and live happily in a Christian culture. An important factor that will largely determine your success or failure will be your ability to get along harmoniously with your fellow man. Staunch, loyal friends will be the greatest treasures that you can lay up for the future. An enemy, even though acquired unconsciously by some thoughtless act, will rise to plague you when you are most unprepared to meet him. May I commend the application of the following FOUR-WAY TEST to everything you say and you do, in your relations with others in your home, community, business, and social life: 1. 2. 3. k. Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendship? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Principal YAZOO CITY, MISSISSIPPI Dear Students: The 1952-53 annual staff and their sponsors have in this annual captured in a most pleasant and pleas- ing way tne days of this school year. They are to be commended and congratulated upon a job well done. Your education is to prepare for life; life is com- petition. Success in life goes only to the man who com- petes successfully. A successful man is a man who goes out to win. There is no reward for the loser. It is my desire to see each of you win in the game of life. May you prepare yourself as the opportunity is presented to you. All who have meditated on the art of governing man- kind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. Aristotle. Sincerely, WOODROW L. MARSH Principal ‘jr MRS. J.

Beers the Yazoo High School Band has brought state-wide recognition to Yazoo City. For many years the band has been compiling an enviable record in the state-wide contest held each year. The concert band, composed of sixty-six members, present annually three concerts. In addition to these traditional performances many semi-formal and impromptu per- formances add much to the community and school life. Creating a flurry of excitement in their new blue and gray uniform, the ninety-piece marching band sparked the football games this year with eleven halftime performances ending the year with a grand extravaganza at the big Thanksgiving Day game. In answer to the demands of the community, the band has responded by leading many parades, climaxing with the big Christmas and March of Dimes parade.

Yazoo City High’s 1952 squad, without a doubt, is the greatest in the history of local grid aggregations. The Indians of Coach Doug Hamley and Harold Kelly compiled an outstanding, long to be remembered 11-0 record. Along with the undefeated season the Chiefs garnered the Delta Valley Conference Championship and the District Six Title. To boast this unmarred record, the Red and Black victimized teams from Batesville, Drew, Indianola, Belzoni, Cleveland, Crystal Springs, Vicksburg, Kosciusko, Charleston, and Grenada, in that order. The most important victory came to the Tribesmen in the Thanksgiving Turkey Day tilt with their perennial foe from Canton. In this all-out effort the aggregation took the District 6 crown. The offensive power of the split-T exemplified by the point totals tor the season 539 to the opposition’s 54. Besides ranking as one of the top high school teams of the state, they placed Doc Fulgham, Sonney Bonney, Bo Collins, and Rex Nowlin on the all DVC team. Bobby Coleman and Sim Liddon garnered positions on the second team and Roy Roby was hailed honorable mention. The ’52 roster included 37 players: 16 seniors, 15 juniors, 5 sophomores, and 1 frosh. Graduating lettermen are: Cox, Coody, Kelly, Carpenter, Guthrie, Fullilove, Stain, Nowlin, Liddon, Coleman, Roby, Evans, and Collins.

BOYS' BASKETBALL 1952-’53 Coach Harold Kelly's Yazoo Indians, to this point in the season, hold a 11-6, .647 per cent record, and are preparing for the forthcoming District 6 A-AA tournament. The Ten Little Indians” main objective has been to overcome the lack of height, having only one starter over six feet. By substituting hard work, sportsmanship, and teamwork, they have overcome this hardship and remained with the ever dangerous teams of the state. The Redskins have dealt losses to Belzoni, Benton, Bentonia, Can- ton, and Silver City twice, and a lone defeat to Sartartia, while absorbing defeats from Clinton on two occasions, Forest Hill, Sartartia, Greenwood, and West Talahatchie. In the Delta Valley Conference match the Chiefs fell before W.T.H.S. in the opener by the slim margin of three points. Guard Bobby Kennedy was the sole placement on the All D.V.C. squad. In the individual spotlight, Big” John Carpenter and Bobby Kennedy, have been the point pacers. Rex Nowlin, Bobby Coleman, and Sim Liddon round out the start- ing five. Regional, South Mississippi, and State competition are slated beyond our deadline; therefore results are not obtainable.

GIRLS BASKETBALL 1952- 53 Coaches Hester and Rush, prolonging the tradition of producing one of the more dangerous teams here in our Southland, have again established an aggregation of adept girl cagers. The sextets have fallen heir to one of the greater basketball records here in the heart of Dixie. To this point in the season they maintained a respectable 10-6 record. Stunned by the loss of five graduating starters, which included All-Staters Barbara Garrett and Rubye Smith, the Indiancttcs have toppled Bentonia, Benton, and Silver City on two occasions, while defeating Belzoni, Canton, Sartartia, and Charleston for single victories. Defeat has been absorbed from Clinton twice, Belzoni, Canton, Sar- tartia, and Batesville once each. The team, plagued by injuries thus far have been unable to build a standard com- bination. Doris Shackleford, ’Nettes pivot forward, holds the limelight in the scoring column. Results of the forthcoming tourneys are not available at our deadline.

The team captured first place honors in a tri-school practice meet at Canton, third place in the Delta Valley Conference, and third place in the District 6 affair behind Clinton and Jackson. Representatives in the South Mississippi meet were Billy Rhodes, Robert Pugh, and Barbara Ann Stricklin. Rhodes participated in the 100 yard dash after capturing first place in the District. Robert Pugh entered the shot put and high jump after second first place District ribbons. Barbara Stricklin, sole girl entrant, captured broad jump laurels to enter the South competition.

This staff was hurriedly called into session so that we could skillfully and suc- cessfully outwit others by getting our ads in first. The Business Manager, with concealed worry, hopefully forced into the hand of each member of the staff the names of the concerns to contact. Much to their amazement and joy, the advertisers almost seemed glad to see them. It is to these people, our friends and business associates, whom we bother and worry, that we wish to express our many thanks and deep felt appreciation for their patience and cooperation in making our MINGO CHITO possible and the success for which we had hoped. We certainly hope that as you look at the different members of the 1953 Graduating Class who smile at you from the pages of the advertising section that it will bring to you as much pleasure as it did to them to model for your ad. jjtlrtrf-' 4- V OLDSMOBILE Only Surpassed By CADILLAC Standard of the World CLANTON SEWARD MOTOR CO.
