Mingo Chito Yazoo City High School Yazoo City Mississippi Co-ed if or s Art Editor Sponsors JEAN JACKSON CLIFTON WATSON COLLEEN CAMPBELL MRS. H. E. WATSON MISS MARY SUE SIMPSON Volume 17 Published by the Yearbook Staff Foreword For years we have been trudging along a road, the end or beginning of which we could not see. When we arrived at Yazoo High School, the mists that hid our course began to clear. The seniors, completing twelve years of work, could see that what had appeared to be the end of the road was actually only a turn toward another stretch. The Principal, faculty, and advisors stood as signposts and markers to those who rested and to those who labored along the path of knowledge. Their presence turned many a would-be wanderer back onto the road. During the year '62-'63, we at YHS did not tarry along this road. We invite you to travel through the year with us in the Mingo Chito. We will see the winding road lead on to the inevitable crossroads—the choice between continuing education and beginning the toils of life. The year was filled with work and play, with thrills and disappointments. For some of us, the year's goal was simply to get up another notch toward graduation, fortunately, some of us began to realize that the road to an education is not the length of the 12th grade or of a doctor's degree. Knowledge is the pathway to suc- cess—it is a road that is never-ending. 2 1963 Dedication A warm smile, a helping hand, a quiet personality, and a serious devotion to his profession typifies this person who has served the youth of Yazoo City High School for many years. He is one who has guided us as a teacher and a friend. May time treat him gently and smile kindly on his efforts to make this a better school and a better world in which to live. It is with this thought that we dedicate the 1963 MINGO CHITO to Mr. Kenneth W. Buckley. Taking time out from his school duties, Mr. Buckley spends an enjoyable afternoon playing ball with his children. Kent and Joan listen attentively as their father reads the eve- ning devotional. An enthusiastic outdoorsman, Mr. Buckley seemed satisfied over a day's catch. Fishing is only one of his hobbies. 3 Table of Contents Faculty 21 -34 Classmates 35-130 Junior High 131-154 Advertisers 155-178 Index 179-184 4 A utographs 185-192 Milestones of a year at YHS began with September. Anticipating a year crowded with activities, students once again streamed onto the campus with enthusiasm. Physical Ed classes started off with a bang as Coach Hollingshead intro- duced new techniques. The band stepped forth into a bright new year, sporting the school colors of black and red. September i 8:30 a.m., September 6, 1962, students be- gan to congregate on the campus of YHS. Old faithfuls were remembering last year while the green freshmen and new students looked on in bewildered amazement. As the day grew old, classes met, and teachers looked over the new recruits. In September we looked forward to the many sports, dances, dates, and HOMEWORK! One of the many events that took place in the first week was the election of class officers and the installation of the Student Council. Several weeks later the school was in comparative order, except for a few students who still seemed to be con- fused about having six class periods a day in- stead of the regular five. YHS had grown so much that classes had to be held during the seventh period. September was the month of firsts for everyone, and it was just the beginning of a year full of memorable happenings. October Fall had finally descended by the time October rolled around. The football season had captured ev- eryone's heart, mind and soul. The pep rallies rocked the school and the students' loyalty was proclaimed in wild jubilations as the cheerleaders provided spirit- rousing pep meets. Seniors were engulfed in their first senior specialty—Senior portraits. Intramurals were begun during this month, and homeroom rivalry skyrocketed. The first report cards were issued. Stu- dents, dismayed and relieved, knew that school life at YHS was well under way. The dust of hustle and bustle had settled and everyone had really begun to get down to business. This was October—the month of swirling red and yellow leaves, the month of dark cotton dresses, the month of red and black school banners—a month of business and a month of happiness at YHS. Ram Day was one of the many spectacular events put on by the Cheerleaders. Rock, Yazoo, Rock, was the familiar tune played by the YHS combo. Here the student-body gathered to cheer the mighty Indians to a tremendous victory over the Provine Rams. A tired and bewildered photographer tried to explain the most photogenic pose to Rosemary Cain as she struggled to remember her right from her left. Freshmen and Upperclassmen struggle for victory as a new point system for the overall intramural championship was in- troduced by our Vice-President of the Student Council—Jean Jackson. Ricky Fulcher charges with the ball as he heads for another score for Lester against Mapsey. 6 Miss Hester glowed with pride as she assumed one of the many duties of the coach of the girls' basketball squad. Miss Hester's enthusiasm led the girls on to an action-packed sea- son. The Turkey Day Tilt with Vicksburg seemed to enthrall the spectators as the injury-weakened Indians pushed for points. November November days were crowded with voting, sports, new ideas, and welcome holidays. Two important elections held the interest of the YHS student body. The campaigning of the juniors was climaxed by the county government elections, a voting shared by all students who met the age and residence requirements. Immediately follow- ing this balloting came the selection of outstand- ing students for Who's Who. Pep assemblies were more spirited than ever during this final month of football season. As the days grew colder, new noises came from the gym. The sound of tennis shoes slapping against the hardwood floor and screeching to sudden stops meant that basketball had started its surge toward the top spot in the Indians' athletic interest. Thanksgiving holidays and the annual turkey- day game wrapped up a lively November, a cal- endar page to remember. Members of the annual stall worked long hours trying to surpass their first class honor rating. Pages had to be drawn, copy written, and mate- rial typed. There were many hours of blood, sweat, and tears involved in putting out a good yearbook. December The Mingo Chito staff announced the results of the annual Who's Who elec- tion In assembly on the third day of December, as each nominee anx- iously awaited the outcome. The votes were cast by the entire student body for their favorites in many fields. A shrill scream was heard as Colleen Campbell opened her box to find a red carnation, signifying that she was the Most Beautiful at YHS. THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS chimed through the air during the Mixed Chorus' presentation of their annual Christmas pageant. Billy Lee Briggs added his artistic touch to entrance the audience as they sat in ecstasy with the happy tunes of Christmas ringing in their ears. The Spirit of Christmas was instilled into the activities of school and the students went forth into the holidays with long- ings for the Cherished Day to hurry and arrive. Here Billy tries to explain to Jean Jackson how he was able to capture the holiday atmosphere with his sparkling bells. The annual Yuletide door decorating contest, sponsored by the Student Council, was again a grand success. Every phase of Christmas was portrayed on the homeroom doors—from the more serious view of the manger scene to the jocular one of Ol' Santa trying to stuff himself into a chimney. Miss Hester's SENIOR homeroom constructed the winning doorway. Her students consumed box after box of colorful Kleenex to make carnations to form the images of father and son snowmen sing- ing to their hearts content. Little boy snowman seems to be having trouble with his carol book. 8 January The annual staff works diligently to meet their first deadline in this month of firsts. As January rolled around, the glorious dates over the Christmas holidays gave way to the glo- rious dates of the American Revolution. Dates and data filled every mind but not for fun, for sheer anxiety over forthcoming exams. Debate and bas- ketball teams prepared themselves for future tour- naments. In Yazoo's Invitational Tourney, the In- dians captured first place honors, while the de- baters passed up all potential invitations to pre- pare for state honors. The snows came just as students were settling down in their desks for mid-term exams. Since the end of Christmas va- cation, everyone had been burning the midnight oil and grinding their noses deep into books. «L Noses buried in books? Ray! get on the ball. Exams are not far away. For the first time in the history of the school, a two inch snow kept students from their daily routine. February Time out for a nice cup of tea? No, it was coffee, but the library gave sophistication to their party by inviting the faculty to their annual Tea. Mr. Hoffman, this is impossible! screams senior Bill Walker as he hangs on to a thin little chain for life or death during one of the numerous senior play practices. February 14—a time for love. Need any more be said? Within this shortest month of the year were crammed many important events. February brought with it the last few tournaments of a very successful season. Cobb's Cagers had given him the best season yet. Midway through the month students paused to pay respect to their sweethearts on Valentine Day. Expectations were high as the lasses awaited their tok- ens of adoration from their faithful beaus. The new post office officially opened its doors on the four- teenth and many sweet notes filled its boxes. As this month began, seniors initiated their mag- azine sales and as the months closed, YHS's senior in- habitants began their first practices on the senior play. As February passed into March, seniors realized how close the end of their high school career was. 10 March March, the windy month that ushers in the spring, ushered many more events into the school year. To the girls it meant red noses and mussed hair-dos. For the football players it brought spring training. Seniors prepared for college as they jour- neyed to take their entrance exams. Despite these many aches, bruises and inconveniences it was enjoyed by all. On our school calendar it brought those four wonderful spring holidays and the faculty-varsity basketball games—a real treat to all spectators. The school paper, the Yazooan, capped the official title of being the best in the state. In the windy month the Irish leprechauns come out. All who believe in the wee people celebrate by the wearin' of the green on St. Patrick's Day. As the winds die down, March closes with just two more months of school. Watergirl Leach hands basketball star, Margaret Hester, a glass of ice water be- tween halves at the girls' varsity-faculty basketball game. Enthusiastic seniors journeyed to various colleges in the state to take their ACT tests to qualify for college. Mr. Hoffman's dramatic club present- ed the student body with a delight- ful comedy entitled Never Trust a Man. Stage furniture and make-up made the play a production in itself and showed how well YHS's extracur- ricular activities function. II These girls seem to know that this is the season to catch a beau! Student Council nominations and elections brought about new of- ficials of the student body. Of this group, Jimmy Elkin, Haley Barbour, and Varner Hines were the lucky and victorious ones. April Somewhere Over the Rainbow was each senior's dream during the annual Jr.-Sr. Party. April and spring! An epidemic engrossed the entire student body. Everyone had it and was glad he did. The disease . . . SPRING FEVER. Just thinking of the fast approaching three months vacation gave everyone a queasy feeling in the stomach and thoughts no longer turned to studying, but to planning. Plans that would include blooming romances and the golden days of summer. May The famous Quartet of Bus No. 1 wailed out tunes of harmony to the journeying seniors of '63. May marked their dream-come-true as New Orleans came splashing into their lives. The month of mirth ... a month of meaning . . . the month is that of May! The final month of a school year at YHS. During this month, hours and days are spent in preparation for the close of the school calendar. Seniors include in their calendar the senior trip, class day, gradua- tion, and numerous parties in their honor. Every- one tastes the approaching three months freedom to come and all are drowned in the flood of final exams. For the Juniors, the announcements of Girl and Boy Staters highlighted this month. Soph- omores and freshmen saw May as only further maturity of their high school lives. The giddiness of May brought with it joy and laughter as everyone, like these boys do, felt a long awaited vacation hurriedly ap- proaching. Senior parties engulfed every spare minute during this last month. Here the graduating class enjoys an afternoon of boating, skiing, and swimming followed by a barbecue supper. Senior privileges made final year memorable for the graduates. The privilege of sitting in cars was a popular one—especially when Spring had Sprung. Just one con- vertible could harbor gossip, flirta- tion, and last-minute study. Underclassmen watched with envy as the exuberant seniors left excit- edly to parade with the Pep Squad and the band. Autumn Fridays were red-letter days on every senior's calendar. One of the most treasured senior privileges was the right to the pause that refreshes during activity period. “Pride and Prejudice” - acclaimed greatest senior production. Authentic English costumes of the 1840's ad- ded realistic flavor to the 1963 Senior Class Play. Pride and Prejudice, directed by Mr. Wallace Hoff- man and student director John Holmes, was a pro- duction of which even Jane Austen would have been proud. Victorian antiques, loaned by citizens of Yazoo City, set the mood for this candid flash- back on English family life. Additional lighting at the stage margins and the scenery construction supervised by Clyde Richardson were indispen- sable to the success of the play. The cast certain- ly appreciated the cooperation of the students and citizens of Yazoo City. The hard working cast sometimes took breaks from construction duties. Portraying the leading characters of Pride and Prejudice were Billy Ray Stokes and Colleen Campbell as Mr. and Mrs. Bennett. Their five lovely daughters, objects of Mrs. Bennett's match-making campaigns, were played by five blossoms of the stage, Pat Kent, Barbara Braid, Jean Jackson, Helen Fulgham, and Cor- nelia Stewart. Bob Kelly and Bill Walker portrayed the handsome Mr. Bingley and the odious Mr. Darcy. Cal- vin Fair as the dashing Mr. Wickham and Anne Gibbs as Miss Bingley, added the light touch to the play. Lady Lucas and Lady Catherine were portrayed by Irene Grimes and Marietta Jenkins. Barbara Lee as Charlotte Lucas and Clifton Watson as crusading Mr. Collins were introduced, as were other members of the cast, by Hill, the maid, played by Frances Scrog- gins. News of Lydia's marriage was too much for Mrs. Bennett, but Cather- ine seemed unimpressed. Another match was made as the famous line, Oh, Darcey, Darcey! was heard. 15 And the seniors rolled merrily on to New Orleans, Louisiana! The Seniors of 1963 showed their salesman- ship in earning money to journey to New Orleans for a glorious week-end. They started raising money back in the fall with the selling of Christ- mas cards. With the success of the card sale, the seniors tried their hand at selling magazines. Lat- er, Pride and Prejudice, the highlight of the money-making campaigns, was a big success and gave the seniors that last bit of money needed. On Friday morning. May 3, the seniors board- ed three buses and headed for the Crescent City. With as few stops as possible the pilgrims arrived at the Hotel DeSoto about noon and scrambled their way through the lobby of the hotel to the elevators. Everyone on? A war party ot excited Seniors began their memorable trip to New Orleans. WI Roll call again!! After checking into their rooms, then answer- ing roll call in the lobby, the class went on a walking tour, touring many of the important sites of New Orleans. They visited the famous Cabildo and the Royal Orleans. One interesting sight was the artists sketching pictures in Pirates' Alley. Old and new sights were seen, and the old buggy with the Negro driver was a tourist attraction en- joyed by many. The Senior Trip was a big suc- cess and will always be fondly remembered by the class of '63. 16 I am class day. Do you recall or remember at all those wonder- ful, wonderful years—1951-1963? I am memories . . . memories of a past you will never forget. A time in your life when the world seemed to be spinning just for you. When life was at its best and problems seemed furtherest from your thoughts. I am recognition . . . recognition of your efforts for twelve long years; years of work and play, smiles and tears. I recall times when you strove for the best and received it; when you looked for happiness and found it; when you worked at a task and tackled it . . . times when you accomplished heights of suc- cess and fame. For all these, I recognize you as the best class of YHS yet! I am farewell to a school where you have spent the finest days of your life . . . your high school years. I say goodbye, too, to all your underclassmen and faculty; yet I leave behind a part of you with your passing. I am prophecy of a life to come and further goals to reach; if only in fun some incentive may come from me. I am friendship; a binding friendship to the members of the class of '63. For you as a whole have worked through the years together; have fought and played; and have grown up as a class, and as sep- arate individuals. Finally I am classmates ... In years to come you will recall a long lost friendship merely from the fact that you were graduating classmates together in the year of 1963. Yes, you will recall those wonderful, wonderful years—1951-1963. John Holmes, President of the Senior Class of 1963, proudly delivered his welcome to parents, friends, and faculty. The Senior Class of '63 sits in state as entertainment, laughs and tears are pro- vided at their expense. This is their day and only by them is the real meaning felt. Class friendships abound as individual gifts are presented to each and every member of this class of one hundred and three. Graduation ! Amid tears of joy and sorrow 103 seniors left Superintendent Fred W. Young, in his annual ad- dress challenged the Seniors to follow the road of knowledge on their way to success. He informed them that along life's road they would have many problems to face, but if they put their trust in God and used their talents to the best of their ability, they would achieve success. Senior band members performed for their last time playing The Lost Chord accompanied by the band. Commencement exercises over and eager seniors rushed to turn in their caps and gowns—they were ready for their night out. The choral ensemble sang America My Own as their last rendition to dear 'ole YHS. these hallowed halls to advance to another milestone in life President John Holmes presented the class memorial—a portable public address system and a hi-fi—to Jimmy Elkin, Junior Class President. Honor Grads Fourteen seniors, maintaining an overall A average throughout their four years at YHS, were graduated with distinction. COLLEEN CAMPBELL FRED CORLEY ANNA CATHERINE DUNN JORDAN FITZHUGH RANDALL FULCHER ANNE GIBBS BARBARA GOODWIN RICHARD HATCHETT BARBARA LEE SUSIE NELL MARTIN CARL MIDDLETON JACKIE STRICKLAND SALLY TURNER RONNIE WILKINSON Eighteen seniors, earning the necessary 80 points by serving in various ways their school and classmates while at YHS, received service letters.

Our roads parted on that memorable night. After the fantasy and splendor of graduation, the graduates returned their caps and gowns as their last high school requirement. It was a long road, wasn't it? The 1963 Midnight 'til Dawn dance, promoted by the Yazoo Debs, was enjoyed by all who attended. Bill Anderson and Brig Harris show that there is more to graduation than receiving diplomas. Students, not venturing to the Midnight 'til Dawn, were in store for a night of dining and bowling sponsored by the churches of Yazoo City. One lone, sleepy-eyed graduate looks for some friend as underclass- men compare grades and averages, thinking that in only three more months it begins again for them but never again for him at YHS. Administration and Faculty As we, the students of YHS, look back over our high school years, we will remem- ber many people who helped us along the way. To them we owe much of our success and excellent records in our years of school. The words printed here are only the small- est tribute to our administration—men and women who have given of themselves in the demanding task of guiding and instruct- ing high school students. With tried patience and with emotions that ranged from joy to despair, the mem- bers of the administration have devoted time and effort toward the constant chal- lenge of being good leaders. They have studied with us, laughed with us, and cried with us; they have tried to give us inquir- ing minds that would accept no graduation, however formal, as the end of an education. 21 Administrators worked unceasingly to give all Yazoo students BOARD OF EDUCATION: H. T. Barrier, C. M. Dunn, John S. Holmes, Elbert D. Lott, John L. Graeber. SUPERINTENDENT Fred W. Young The Board of Education is that seldom-ap- plauded body which formulates school policy. Five of Yazoo City's leading citizens have willing- ly given time, work, and worry toward the main- tenance and improvement of our city schools. These civic leaders have ably upheld the excel- lent reputation of the Yazoo City School System. Mr. Fred Young, superintendent of the Yazoo Public School System, is sharply aware of educa- tional needs which are shaped and revised by our changing society. For seventeen years Mr. Young has directed our schools with tact and efficiency which spring from a genuine concern for youth. He is duly recognized as a standard bearer for education—a man whose sphere of influence con- tains our state as well as our nation. 22 the background to build for the future in all walks of life. Our principal, Mr. Harold C. Kelly, has kept the wheels of daily education running smoothly. With consideration, with tact, and sometimes with necessary firmness, he has encouraged every stu- dent toward the goal of graduation. We are for- tunate to have him in this vital position of respon- sibility and leadership. He coordinated all activ- ities and personnel necessary for the school's suc- cessful operation. Under his guidance, students at YHS became acquainted in many ways with stand- ards expected of them in later life. As counselor for the students at YHS, Mr. Sabin Rush dispenses advice, test scores, infor- mation, and comfort to despairing clients. Let's go ask Mr. Rush is a familiar phrase to the members of the faculty as well as the students. With his knowledge of counseling and his attention to the needs of the individual pupil, Mr. Rush has added a great deal to our school's success in student guidance. MR. SABIN RUSH—Counselor Our Supervisor of Instruction, Miss Hattie Rich- ardson, hails from Arkansas, but we think she is firm- ly converted to our side of the river. Miss Richardson has a wealth of experience in educational fields, and she has devoted her talents to improving efficiency and harmony in each of the Yazoo schools. Serving as an ace trouble-shooter and expert in public rela- tions, Miss Richardson is an indispensable element in our faculty. MR. HAROLD C. KELLY Principal MISS HATTIE RICHARDSON Supervisor of Instruction 23 mages Mrs. Parker is one of our favorite and most versatile teachers. For her the summer meant continual activity. Traveling to the Ozarks, playing golf, hooking rugs, and writing letters were items on her busy summer schedule. Despite her active summer life September will find Mrs. Parker in her usual place at YHS. Sadness hangs low over YHS due to the loss of one of our most charming teachers, Mrs. Jeannine Leach. This summer she and the Rev. Leach are moving to Rome, Miss. There she plans to teach in Bible School, take organ lessons, and attend summer camp. Next year Mrs. Leach plans to substitute teach. Our school's most eligible bachelor is also one of our hardest workers. Summer brought only more school for Mr. Hoffman—Ole Miss to be exact. Warm weather also meant Air Force duty at Keesler Air Force Base. In the not too distant future, he is planning to teach on the college level. Mrs. J. W. Parker, Mrs. Jeannine Leach, Mr. Wallace Hoffma For two years Miss Lockard was a great asset to the speech department. This summer she and her roommate. Miss Carole Tyler, took a camping trip of the western United States. After the trip it will be back to school for Miss Lockard. She will be a grad- uate student at Louisiana State University, where she will get her Master's Degree in speech. Miss Mary Sue Simpson spent an active summer as recreation director in her hometown, Shaw. In her spare time she took an art course and loafed at Lake Beulah. In September Miss Simpson will journey north— maybe to graduate school at the University of North Carolina and maybe to United Nations work in New York. Miss Sara Kay Lockard, Miss Mary Sue Simpson, Miss Dot Mitchell, Mrs. Jenkins. The eastern United States, especially New York City, was Miss Dot Mitchell's destination this summer. She took a guided tour of the historic and entertaining spots which dot the Eastern seaboard. Miss Mitchell also managed to take a course in library science at Ole Miss before return- ing to Yazoo City in September. Mrs. E. S. Jenkins, English teacher, graduated from Mississippi College with a B.A. degree. She spends a great deal of time with her three daughters and has be- come quite a seamstress. Since her husband is athletic director, Mrs. Jenkins is a faithful fan of the Yazoo Indians. 24 English, Spanish, and Latin Mrs. Eleanor Lester, Latin and Spanish teacher at YHS, is an enthusiastic participant in all of our school activities. Mrs. Lester and YHS both missed the Latin banquet and initiation, since there was no second year class. However, Mrs. Lester, quite the versatile teacher, instructed freshmen in social science. Enjoying her children and grandchildren, cooking, and playing bridge are Mrs. Lester's hobbies. She served as a Pink Lady this summer at the hospital. Patient and understanding. Dr. Gustavo Garcia, Spanish teacher at YHS, is fast becoming acquainted with customs and traditions in the U. S. Dr. Garcia, who fled from Cuba in '62, has eagerly instructed the young Americans of YHS in his native language. Dr. Garcia taught Spanish at the Junior High during afternoons, and in the evenings the Doctor taught a course in conversational Spanish which was open to all interested adults. Students at YHS were offered courses in three languages—English, Latin, and Spanish. A lan- guage offers a challenging and unlimited op- portunity to broaden horizons and gain knowl- edge of other cultures. YHS linguists learned to distinguard parts of speech, to recognize a wide vocabulary, and to understand the lan- guage fundamentals. Panel discussions, com- mercials, and term papers were some of the activities of the language classes. Music-vocal and instrumental There was a time for work, a time for play, and certainly a time for music. Students blessed with instrumental or vocal talents put time and effort into the numerous musical programs which were presented at school, civic and social functions. The mixed chorus had the whole school humming songs which ranged from the classical to the modern, and the band mem- bers practiced for perfection on each piece of concert and contest music. Mr. Stanley C. Beers, Miss B. Gay, Mr. Donald L. Vaughan Mr. Stanley C. Beers, band director, had a busy and prof- ifab'e summer. Besides holding summer band practice for the high school nearly all summer, Mr. Beers found time to take a graduate course in music composition. In July he went to Mis- sissippi Southern for the annual band camp. Miss Bernice Gay, director of the Yazoo High School Choral organizations, also was a teacher of freshman music. Miss Gay taught her students to be aware of the moods in music; her pupils not only sang the correfcf notes, but they also sang with expession. Since Miss Gay abhors laziness, practice sessions were always lively, as well as beneficial. Our assistant band director, Mr. Donald L. Vaughn, had a busy summer. First, he went home to Grenada to fish, fish, fish! If he ever caught enough fish, he planned to work out all of the band's march routines for '63-'64. Mr. Vaughn will return to Yazoo City on August 1 to begin band practice. Practice Makes Perfect! 26 Sciences —biological, physical, and chemical Mr. Richardson (Uncle George) received his education from the University of Missis- sippi and the University of Utah. For two years he has taught junior chemistry and senior physics at YHS. Fishing and hunting occupy much of Mr. Richardson's spare time, and he has a garden which is his pet project. This summer he worked at the Chemical Plant. Travis Johnston was the only student to work with taxidermy for his biology project. Travis stuffed the owl shown here, as well as a handsome skunk. Mr. George Richardson, Mrs. Naomi Roberds Who could believe that such a sweet little lady could give such a mean biology test? Anyone who has taken biology at YHS could! For ten years, Mrs. Naomi Roberds has loyally taught her students the study of living things. At home, Mrs. Roberds spends much of her time in her garden, in the kitchen, and on grading biology papers. 27 Ted Taylor is just one of the future scientists at YHS who spends hours working with test tubes and other apparatus. Library and Commercial Arts Yazoo High suffered a loss this year when Miss Patricia McClellan left us to get married. Until she left Miss McClellan was the Business English and typing teacher. Club day found her busy with the Y-Teens. The renowned Mrs. Warren Smith, who never forgets a name, returned to YHS as librarian after three years absence. There's no place like home! Mrs. Smith enjoys playing with her three little boys and is their pitcher in softball. Mrs. Smith also cooks and, of all things, washes dishes to calm her nerves. Miss Louise Hendrix, typing teacher, has become a close friend of all her typing students. Miss Hendrix, who came to YHS with a long, red topknot, enjoys reading, and swimming in her leisure time. This summer. Miss Hendrix taught summer school to the ambitious and not-so ambitious students. Mrs. Warren Smith, Miss Louise Hendrix, Miss Pat McClellan The library is the room most frequented by YHS students. Original bulletin board displays encourage reading in all of the subject matter divisions. Material for essays, term papers, speech- es and themes can be easily located by reference to the card catalogue or by our walking encyclopedia, Mrs. Smith. The commercial arts provide opportunities to gain skill in typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and other allied business fields. The commercial department aids the Yazoo City business com- munity by producing efficient secretaries and by offering night class instruction for adults and students. Bob Anderson and Clifford Blake- more use the library as a source of information for assigned reports. The adding machine is just one of the machines that commercial art students learn to operate. 28 Vocational and Industrial Arts The YHS Industrial Arts program gave many boys the practical groundwork for engineering and architecture be- sides helping others to decide upon a particular field Indus- trial arts students not only gained practical experience in constructing, but they also produced useful and attractive handicraft. Machines, shop, and industrial arts were offered pri- marily to those students who, upon high school gradu- ation, wished to enter an occupational field instead of entering college. Mr. Towery and Mr. Bond taught the boys how to operate the machines and hod to use tools in making numerous things. Students learned to work with leather, electricity, and metal. They make such things as ash trays from aluminum and belts and billfolds from leather. Mr. Towery, industrial arts teacher, is liked by many a student. His amiable personality rated him tops among the students and faculty as well. Mr. Towery loves to water-ski and to spend a lot of time with his family. He attended Mississippi State and received a B.S. degree. As an organizer of mechanical drawing, he is always on hand to help any struggling industrial arts student. Mr. A. L. Bond is the YHS instructor of Diversified Occupations and Distributive Education. Having pre- viously received an M.A. at Mississippi State, Mr. Bond came to Yazoo City in 1961. Part of his job is to secure positions for students in his department. He sees that each of his students learns a trade during the school year. When he is not busy organizing the D.E. and D.O. programs, Mr. Bond loves to hunt. The caution and skill that Martin Russell displays was absolutely nec- essary for the accuracy that is es- sential in mechanical drawing. Mr. Towery's assiduous woodwork- ing students construct beakers—a typical scene in the industrial arts shop. D ivers and Physical Education Coach George Blair, a newcomer to YHS, replaced Coach Hollingshead, who was called into the Marines. Coach Blair, having played football at Ole Miss, with the Los Angeles Rams, and with the San Diego Chargers, has proved to be a valuable addition to our coaching staff. Coach Blair also teaches physical education and is coach for the golf team. Coach Eulas Red Jenkins is a graduate of Ole Miss and has a Master's Degree in Physical Education. During the school year he is busy as YHS athletic director, as coach for football and track, and as a teacher of Driver's Education. Coach Jenkins spends his rare spare time on his hobbies—hunting and fishing. Coaches George Blair and Eulas Red Jenkins Turn left at the next corner—watch that carl Sophomores were attentive to all instructions from Coach Jenkins as they learned the rules of the road and the fundamental principles of driving. Completion of the course qualified a student to obtain a driver's license. Ready, exercise! This was the battlecry of YHS Amazons as they began each class in physical edu- cation. After exercises, the girls played baseball, bas- ketball, volleyball, or grounders and flyers. Strike three—you're out! was the bellowing cry of the fielders (especially the pitcher) as the home team lost out in a nip and tuck game. The boys' P.E. class limbered up for baseball by doing push-ups. 30 Home Economics Home Economics, under the apt supervision of Mrs. Ralph Hunt, gave girls a background and practical experience for future homemak- ing. Cooking, sewing, personal appearance, and etiquette are some of the units covered in this course. All senior girls took a Home Economics tesr and of these Anne Gibbs received the Betty Crocker Award for excellence in homemaking. A trophy was presented by the Crisco Company to Delorice Hicks as the Most Outstanding Home- making student. Co-ed magazine presented a pin to Mary Wynn Sutherland, YHS correspond- ent for the magazine. Mrs. Ralph Hunt and Mrs. C. D. Williams Mrs. Ralph Hunt, who is in charge of the Homemaking Depart- ment, graduated from MSCW with a B.A. degree. During the summer months Mrs. Hunt often attends summer school or perhaps a work- shop on homemaking. Mrs. Hunt and her family are active members of the First Baptist Church. Mrs. Williams, who replaced Mr. Radford Dubois, has already become a part of YHS. She has done a fine job of taking over where Mr. Dubois stopped. In addition to teaching freshman science, she has a class in government and teaches one class of math. Mrs. Williams attended Blue Mountain College and received her degree from the University of Alabama. Child care is just one area of homemaking that is studied by Mrs. Hunt's classes. Some of the girls brought their younger brothers and sister to a discussion which ended the child care unit. Turning cloth, needle, and thread into a becoming dress was just one of the tricks learned by the girls' Homemaking class. 31 Social Studies YHS will really feel the loss of Robert W. Cobb Jarvis. As a basketball and baseball coach, he has won the admiration of coaches and athletes of the District Six and Big Eight Con- ferences. A graduate of Ole Miss, Coach Jarvis also received his Master's Degree from the university. Specializing in American History and girls' basketball, Miss Margaret Hester is also a senior sponsor and an assistant coun- selor. Recently a new piece of furniture has been added to Miss Hester's classroom. Because of this innovation, all future American history courses will be subtitled Rock along with Hester. Mr. DeWitt Massey, having taught here for two years, has already become an old pro at YHS. As an instructor of his- tory and social science, Mr. Massey is a credit to his profession and to Mississippi, wherp he received his Master's Degree. Mr. Robert W. Jarvis, Miss Margaret Hester, Mr. DeWitt Massey The social studies, taught by Miss Hester, Coach Jarvis, and Mr. Massey, give students a firm foundation upon which to build their lives as in- formed citizens. This department offers a variety of courses—Mississippi history, American history, civics, government, and world history. These two students learn the art of note taking in Miss Hester's American history class. Sheila Bland and Ricky Fulcher find the globe a reliable source for locating the countries discussed in social studies. Mathematics Mrs. Clark, although not kin to Coach Clark, is an other teacher of math. She lives in Enchanted Hills and at- tends the Presbyterian Church with her husband and four children. Mrs. Clark attended Longwood College in Farm- ville, Virginia, where she received her degree in secondary education with a major in math. Mr. Leslie C. Clark, lover of oysters, returned to YHS after being called into the army for a year. Coach Clark is a math teacher plus being coach for football and B-team basketball. He attends Mississippi Southern where he re- ceived his B.S. degree. Mrs. H. E. Watson, an esteemed member of the YHS faculty, was the sponsor of the Mingo Chito. Mrs. Watson was graduated from Millsaps and has taught math and algebra at YHS. Her cheerful smile and faithful service have made her a strong and necessary link in the organi- zation of our school. The Mathematics Department offers an excellent and complete program of courses for YHS students. This department stimulated students to Ho productive thinking. To some students math was a chore, while it was a challenge for the potential mathematical giants. Logical reasoning was developed in plane geometry, while industrious algebra students stuck steadfast to the problem solving for x and y. Proving formulas was just one of the many things done by senior math enthusiasts. Advanced courses are offered in trigonometry and solid geometry in addition to the other numerous subjects. As the year progressed, the importance of this subject in everyday living was realized by each student. Mrs. George Clark, Leslie C. Clark, Mrs. H. E. Watson, Mr. Kenneth Buckley Mr. Kenneth Buckley, mathematics teacher and counselor, was honored by the yearbook staff when the 1963 Mingo Chito was dedicated to him. Holding an M.A. degree, Mr. Buckley was graduated fom Mississippi Southern. He is the sponsor of the Math Club and is a coach for the pee-wee football team. 33 Secretaries and Dietitians Mrs. Wes G. Caperton, Mrs. J. W. Broocks, Mrs. Carolyn Johnson After getting out 3 minutes early for lunch, the seniors always seemed to monopolize the lunch line. However, this didn't appear to keep the underclassmen from getting there before their dinner got cold. Who can blame them? Our cafeteria sports one of the best dieticians in the state and a staff that keeps YHS from going hungry. Everyday about eleven o'clock the, aroma would fill the halls and our tummies would tell us that it was dinnertime. However, after a brief stay in the lunchroom, we were ready to go back and face those teachers again. Mrs. Wes G. Caperton, executive secretary to the super- intendent, is an alumna of YHS. Mrs. Caperton has held her position for six years, and during that time she has become a real friend to the students and faculty of YHS. Mrs. J. W. Broocks, a graduate of Benton High School, is the secretary to the superintendent. Mrs. Broocks enjoys cooking and housekeeping. She manages to attend almost all of the Little League baseball games since her sons are the star players. Mrs. Carolyn Johnson, formerly Miss Carolyn Hickman, was an honor graduate at YHS. Having served this past year as Mr. Kelly's secretary, Mrs. Johnson's efficiency and ever-pleasant disposition made her absolutely indispensable to the daily routine. She managed to be a Jill-of-all-trades as well as a friend of students and faculty. The cafeteria at YHS provides excellent food for the stu- dents—the long cafeteria line at noon proves this! Mrs. H. G. Hairston, supervisor of all city school cafeterias, has planned these lunches with the matchless assistance of Mrs. F. N. Har- rison, manager, Mrs. Sadie Hood, and Mrs. Nora Wade. Classmates Hustle and bustle in the halls, tension on the athletic fields, quiet in the classrooms, lilting conversation under the arcade—these are some of the more familiar scenes at YHS. It has been said that there are no friends like old high school friends; this seems to be especially true for our student body. In '62-63 we were small enough in number to know each other well; we were also con- tagious enough in school spirit to infect every student, every teacher, and most of the local citizens. The worth of friendship, like the worth of any substance, is tested in different cli- mates and under varying conditions. Our high school environment provided a full cycle of study, laughter, worry, and fun. From course projects and term papers to pep rallies and banquets, YHS gave us two well-rounded semesters. In the lunch- room line, at band practice, at the water fountains, in intramural games, and at club meetings, classmates met to work or relax or talk together. With the close of the '62-63 academic year, Yazoo students ended another chapter in their personal lives and in the history of our school. Some graduated with flying col- ors, some just graduated, and many will return in September. Every student has the same legacy—the experience of working with people and the responsibility of work- ing himself. 35 Favorites Fred Corley makes a thousand friends and keeps them all. He was elected Sen- ior Boy Most Likely to Succeed, Most In- tellectual Boy, and Friendliest Boy. Being the all around student, Fred participated in football, basketball and track through- out his high school years. With her graduation, YHS lost a mod- el student, Colleen Campbell. Throughout the years Colleen participated in a variety of extracurricular activities. She was chos- en most beautiful her senior year and as a junior, she was chosen as a delegate to Girls' State. Colleen played clarinet in the band, assisted with art work on the annual, and was a member of the Math Club. As a sophomore she represented the school at the State Latin Conference. At all times a good citizen, her sweet friendly smile was an inspiration to all who knew her. 36 Seniors, favorites, and officers shared numerous successes. Officers Senior class president was John Holmes, a well-known student at YHS. John was a member of the golf team and participated in numerous tournaments in Yazoo City and neighboring towns. He previously served as president of the Press Club, editor of the Yazooan, and as a student council representative. Vice-president Fred Corley was an all-around member of our student body. Football, basketball, and track were three sports in which Fred was in- dispensable to the Yazoo Indians. He was a mem- ber of the National Honor Society and the Na- tional Athletic Society and was chosen by the fac- ulty to be a Rotary guest in October. Miss Yazoo City of 1962 also served as sec- retary of the senior class. Colleen Campbell, a ma- jorette, was the seniors' choice for class maid in the homecoming court. She was assistant editor of the Mingo Chito, and was a Rotary guest dur- ing the month of November. With graduation pending, their scholastic road neared an end.

No, he was not doing an Arabian dance. He was holding the box for the drawing of a free annual. Each year Mingo Chito gives a yearbook to the first homeroom to reach 100% in the subscription drive. Mrs. Smith's homeroom won the contest and Craig Eldridge was the lucky recipient. 50 Seniors strode with superiority in every phase of life at YHS. Versatile students of YHS displayed their merits it school, on the job, and at play. Classrooms, com- petitive sports, jobs about town, fun at the fair, and elsewhere made the school year more inter- esting and successful.

Six husky Hesterians review some of the plays that led them to the intramural football championship. Outstanding Juniors guided Officers The Juniors of '62-'63 chose a very capable leader, Jimmy Elkin, as class president. Jimmy's versatility was shown by his position on the Yazooan Staff, and his membership in the S Club and Hi-Y Club. Among his presidential duties was to preside at the Junior-Senior party. Jon Foose, a well-known member of the student body at YHS, served as vice-president. As president of the Science Club, as football man- ager, and as a member of the Hi-Y Club, Jon dem- onstrated his unique personality. Always ready to aid needful teachers, Veep was especially a favorite of Miss Hester's. Elected as secretary of the Junior class, Var- ner Hines displayed one of her many talents. Be- sides having been a Pep Squader, Varner received the honor of being junior Football Maid. Seeming to like the title of vice-president, this popular junior served in this office for both our Library club and SLAM (State Library Association of Mis- sissippi).

Favorites Selected as the favorite boy and girl of the Junior class were Ginny Terrell and Gerald Moses, both have proved themselves capable YHS lead- ers. Ginny was an active participant in girls' sports, wearing Yazoo colors on the basketball and track teams. This versatile young lady served as circuit clerk on County Government Day. As one of our seven cheerleaders and as an active member of the Yazooan staff, YHS kept Ginny very busy this year. Gerald became one of our best known Jun- iors through his many sport activities. Even though he was injured near the end of the football sea- son, he gained many honors. Gerald was pres- ident of his homeroom and a member of the Hi-Y and Y Clubs. The new Y-Club members know Ole Mule well! In the Who's Who con- test, Gerald was chosen as one of the beaus and as most Athletic boy.

Holeman Frank Holifield Joyce Hood Beginning their third year at YHS, the mem- bers of the Junior class eagerly anticipated many new experiences. One of the hardest subjects for the Juniors was chemistry. Bewildered by test tubes, formulas, and fellow students, the pupils hung onto Mr. Richardson's every word, trying to grasp some understanding of what it was all about. Another course chosen by some Juniors was speech. Although Miss Lockard drilled and drilled on correct diction, a few students could not over- come their Southern accents. Phrases such as Como Estas? and Hola amigo, rang through the corridors as some am- bitious pupils spoke Spanish. Everyone grew to know and love Dr. Garcia, the teacher of this course, as he rushed frantically around the room crying, Silendo, silencio por favor! as their goals came into view. The writing of clip files was one of the more regular chores for the juniors in Mrs. Parker's Eng- lish class. Searching through stacks of old copies of The New York Times Magazine Book Review, look- ing for the mark that stood for American Literature, then writing a summary of the article required care- ful study and patience on the part of the student. English III introduced the juniors to many other new phases of work including themes, research papers, endless note-taking in class, parsing, loads of spell- ing words, and literature. A subject required for juniors was American history. Under Miss Hester and Mr. Massey, the rea- sons behind each political, economical, and social move in our history became evident. Decisions made by our leaders in times past began to seem reason- able, and necessary, whereas they had formerly seemed to be just historical facts.

Coun- ty Government Day, rolled around in November, and members of this class took part in the excite- ment. The day was enjoyed not only by the active participants, but also by the audience of students who listened attentively to the returning offi- cials. Another event in which the juniors were chief participants was the junior-senior party. The junior class sponsors who supervised this activ- ity were Mrs. Parker, Miss Hendrix, Miss Mitchell, and Mr. Richardson. On the eagerly anticipated evening, the junior homerooms put on various original skits for the seniors, carrying out the theme. The atmosphere created by the decora- tions and activities was enjoyed by all.

Here the class president, Jimmy Elkin, is exhibiting the array of rings to three be- wildered juniors. Sophomores found their second year at YHS richly rewarding and Officers Bink Williams has served ably as president of the largest sophomore class in our history. As a member of the Hi-Y club and the annual staff, Bink was constantly in the thick of things at YHS. Clara Dean Russell once more found her name on the list of class officers. This was just one indication that the sophomores think of Clara Dean as a responsible and well qualified person. Clara Dean was an alternate cheerleader, secretary of the Writers club, and a member of the basket- ball team. During homecoming ceremonies at YHS, Clara led the sophomores as a maid. Pert and friendly Diane Hassin, now in her second year at the Yazoo Public Schools, can count all of the sophomores among her friends. Diane, an active member of the pep squad and Yazooan staff, has capably managed the office of soph- omore class secretary. She was also secretary for Mr. Buckley's homeroom.

Favorites With her congenial personality, who could resist electing Mary Lee Anderson as his class fa- vorite. Even before her ponytail days, she had been gaining respect and love from her friends. This year she added her contagious enthusiasm to our school spirit as a cheerleader, and she also played as a guard for the Indianettes. In the Who's Who elections Mary Lee was elected a beauty. All this goes to show that Mary Lee was active in many phases of school life at YHS. Bink Williams, who is our sophomore pres- ident was also chosen as Sophomore favorite. Bink's good grades in Spanish and other subjects have entitled him to membership in the S club. His secret of physical fitness, lifting weights, has also made him a special friend of all girls in YHS. The coaches were glad that Bink put his muscle to work by playing basketball and going out for spring football.

They were proud to be able to look down at the frivolous green fresh- men, and look up and gaze with astonishment at the serious sophisticated seniors, and the jolly juniors. Many became fifteen and were proud to show off their hard earned driver's licenses. The sophomores always took part in extra ac- tivities such as intramurals, sports, pep rallies, clubs, and community projects. They readily ac- cepted extra duties and set a good example for the freshmen. Several of the sophomore boys led the pee wees on to victory as an activity outside of school work. Many energetic sophomores changed from bench-warmers to participants in the great game of football. Their hopes were high as they eagerly ran on the field planning play by play how to make that all-important touchdown to impress their favorite girl. Peewees donned pads and helmets as Skippy Teaster coached future Redmen. 60 Jerry Fowler Frank Fuller Lonnie Graeber Jimmy Grant Brig Harris Deanie Harrison Charles Hassin Diane Hassin David Hatchett Elizabeth Hays June Helms Betty Hendrix Ricky Holland Jimmy Hollis Greg Horne Malinda Houston Norma Fayo Humphries Trennis Hunt Linda Jenkins Tommy Jenkins Teresa Jennings Norma Johnson Cheryl Johnston Travis Johnston Bobby Jones Herman Jones David Jorgensen Joan Josey Anne Keene Betty Jane Kellum of school spirit in the corridors, assemblies, and Joelyn Kemp Margie Ketchum Janell Kight Douglas Kirk Mike Knott Joanne Lawshe Tim Manor Francine Mapes JoAnn Martin Bill Mashburn Sue Mayfield Obie McClure Carolyn McGinty Larry McKennon Johnny McMinn Larry Meek Dennis Melton Jan Michael Larry Mobley Betty Sue Monday Sabra Montgomery Stanley Montgomery Frances Moore Buz Morrow Richard Murphy Barbara Newton Brenda Newton Susie Nicholas Griffin Norquist John North The never ending job of keeping school spirit alive was aided by the girls in the Pep Squad and also by our two cute sophomore cheerleaders, Mary Lee Anderson and Susie Nicholas. A group of high spirited sophomores willing- ly volunteered a Saturday morning's work to the March of Dimes to help with the campaign. Al- though spirits were dampened by the rain, the roadblock earned more money than ever before. Of course, studies were worked into their busy schedules. Quite a few of the sophomores were two-year members of the S Club which showed their interest in the scholastic program in our school. They had more members in the S Club than any other class at YHS.

As basketball began, many sophomores were out trying to make the varsity squad or at least the B-team. Much to everyone's sur- prise, a few made it, and they got to help the seniors push the Chieftan to their desig- nated destination. Sophomore enthusiasts gladly donated their free period to counting votes for County Government Day. The much anticipated priv- ilege of voting on County Government elec- tions was finally bestowed upon them. leadership, scholarship, and service, striving for success. They gained a few more privileges as they continued following the path which the seniors and juniors had followed in the past. The library was an invaluable asset to their study of Modern Biology and other sophomore subjects. It helped them with research papers, author's lives, themes, book reports, and spelling tests. One of the highlights of sophomore English during the first semester, was the intense study of Shakespeare's play, JULIUS CAESAR. Many of the projects showed the genuine interest of sev- eral students in Shakespeare. Life as a sophomore was no easy task, but once it was over they remembered it as nothing but happy experiences to add to their collection of memories. So, YHS, we, the sophomores of 1962-63, say, Thank you.

Diane Sanford's friendly smile and willing hand won her the presidency of the freshman class. Serving as vice-president of her homeroom, she is also an active supporter of school sports. The Safety Club and the Yazooan staff completed Diane's wide range of extracurricular interests at YHS. The duties of vice-president were ably han- dled by Wallace Russell, a capable worker and friend. Wallace was a member of the Hi-Y Club, and, despite his numerous activities, his grades merited S-Club membership. Ardis Russell, Wallace's twin, held the title of secretary-treasurer. Due to an injury in the early fall. Ardis was unable to play football and basket- ball, but he eagerly awaited spring and the base- ball season. Ardis and Wallace shared the Amer- ican Legion award in junior high school.

Favori tes Freshman favorite Polly Woodell was select- ed as a beauty by her homeroom and she was elected to one of the five top beauty spots in Who's Who. During football season Polly was especially busy as a member of the Pep Squad and as freshman football maid. Schooldays found this freshman in the swing of things as secretary of her homeroom and as a member of the year- book staff. Wallace Russell, a capable young man with a winning smile, was also elected freshman class favorite. Besides receiving letters in ninth grade football and basketball, Wallace was an active member of the First Methodist Church and of the Boy Scouts. A pleasing personality aided Wallace as president of his homeroom and vice-president of his class. These many activities prove that Wal- lace is bound to go places in school and out!

The first day of school was really the worst. From the mo- ment we walked into the campus 'til the end of the day we felt like worms in a rock pile. The Sophomores, our old buddies, gave us a shrug and a smirk smile. The Juniors looked at us with sympathy and pity, while the Seniors . . . well . . . they didn't even look. The first day we went to classes all seemed futile. When the bell rang we picked up our books, ran to our lockers for the ones we had forgotten, opened the doors, and—oh gosh!—look at the mess! All this was just the beginning. From then on we bore the burdens of Freshmen. As time passed on, our burden became lighter and high school felt like home. The upperclass- men once in a while lent a helping hand as we carried on with our daily routine. As we Freshmen looked back on those first days at YHS, we reminisced— We wouldn't have traded them for the world—or the Sen- iors' distinction either!

Junior High was fun and the school- work was comparatively easy. We found that our first year in high school was even more fun than our days at Junior High. Although we had to study slightly more in high school our efforts were well rewarded. Besides the schoolwork there was another reason why we were afraid to face high school life. There were so many people and the school was so big. We had only to glance around us and our knees began to quake beneath us. We had never seen so many corridors and rooms in our life. Douglas McMichael Barry Melton Brent Melton Joe Melton Lora Miller Grace Miron Spanish. Algebra, Mississippi history and other mystifying As each day began, life at YHS became a more regular pattern for us. We found that much of the gossip we had heard was not so. It was as much gossip as it was truth. Yes, hard work, staying up late, getting up homework and bad grades—all of this is being freshmen. Life was certainly not perfect bliss. We were towered over by Seniors, Juniors and Soph- omores alike. Names such as stupid and green freshmen came flying our way. Those teachers we expected to find gawking around corners and peering over bifocals on their noses were in real- ity not such horrid creatures. However, this year has had its bright spots too, starting at just about 3:45 every Friday afternoon. What's the latest gossip for today? You can be sure that it's already under discussion by our Freshman flock of magpies! Nothing ever escapes their gauntlet for long.

These girls participated in tourna- ment after tournament, debating on the selected topic, a proposed Common Market in the western hemisphere. The YHS debaters attended the dis- trict debate at Clinton and were selected as one of two teams to go to the regional tourney at Hat- tiesburg. At Hattiesburg these girls were selected as one of the four teams to attend the State tour- nament at Milsaps College in Jackson. After rugged competition, our team placed third in the State. A real feather for the headband of every Yazoo Indian. Safety Council The YHS Safety Council, composed of home- room Vice-President, was newly organized this year. In early fall the Yazoo City Council was se- lected to host the district convention, which was attended by 150 representatives from ten coun- ties. Delegates to this convention studied and dis- cussed vital safety preparations for homes, farms, traffic, and recreation. As one of its projects, the Safety Council sponsored a safety-magic show, which was pre- sented in November by Sergeant Pike of the Mich- igan State Patrol. This was just one of the ways in which our council tried to remind students of the immeasurable value of practicing simple rules for safety.

They combined boundlesls energy, skillful know-how, and patience to bring forth a hopeful All-American yearbook. Mingo Chito The responsibility of compiling a book which accurately recorded the events of the year fell on the shoulders of the Mingo Chito Staff. Under the guid- ance of Mrs. Watson and Miss Simpson, we under- took the writing of copy, the laying out of pages, and the dreaded task of meeting every deadline. Our staff found that the weekly club meetings did not provide enough time for the multitude of jobs that cluster around the production of a yearbook; it was necessary for many of us to spend the after-school hours in gay or not-so-gay work sessions. Spring brought a rush of activity which included the Annual Press conference at Ole Miss. Several staff members attended this conference and learned many tricks of the trade which were put to use in the as- sembling of this book. Hectic days were richly rewarded by the arrival of the yearbook. This is a book designed and devel- oped by students who toiled for one purpose—to cap- ture an unforgettable year between the covers of the 1963 Mingo Chito.

Critical service report from NSPA studied by Editorial Staff. Tap, Tap, Tap! Never-ending toil! Typists Anne Gibbs and Jackie Strickland dutifully kept their heads down and their thoughts to their tasks as slave drivers James Pearson and Wil- liam Coody looked on. Anne and Jackie faithfully served the staff as they spent their spare moments and after-school hours interpreting copy, which featured various styles of handwriting. Industrious in his job of unloading yearbooks, business manager James Pearson hurries to have books ready for the crowd that will momentarily assemble at the Teen Center. This year, as in the past, the summer edition was received with enthusiasm. Nearly the entire shipment was given out as underclassmen and seniors met together one final time. 73 Editors and Reporters combined their talents for the Yazooan. FIRST ROW: F. Scroggins, J.

Let's get out a pencil and a sheet of paper,- These words are descriptive of activities which kept the Press Club busy each Tuesday. Club members learned to appreciate pen and pa- per-tools which are a journalist's closest friends when midnight is nearing and eight inches of print are yet to be born. Anyone who was inter- ested in working with advertising layout, circula- tion, or newswriting was encouraged to join the club. Mrs. Parker, the Yazooan sponsor, en- couraged all disinterested students to stay out! The ambition of each member was to eventually prove his skill on the Yazooan. Yazooan Staff In 1958 the school paper previously called The Flashlight, became the Yazooan. This publi- cation has reaped three all-American awards and numerous superior ratings. This year the paper re- ceived a First Class Honor Rating from the National Scholastic Press, and this was the twenty-third time that the Yazooan has received this particular mark of achievement. Also this year, the Yazooan sur- passed all previous ratings by receiving the cov- eted Merit Award presented by the Columbia Scho- lastic Press. This national recognition is a rare honor and is the highest tribute paid in the world of printers' ink and metal type.

Library Club Under the leadership of Mrs. Mary Emma Smith, the Library Club grew and progressed. Membership consisted mostly of student librarians and their assistants. This group met weekly to share informative programs and plan for the improvements of our library. Often the club in- vited guest speakers, two of whom were Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Lester. Early in the fall the Library Club gave a reception; each member invited a member of the faculty to see the new books and to try Russian tea. Varner Hines was elected Vice- President of the SLAM convention (Student Li- brarian Association of Mississippi) which was held at Mississippi College. FBLA Club The FBLA organization seeks to develope competent, aggressive business leadership and to strengthen the members' confidence in themselves and their work. The intelligent choice of business occupations was an important topic which was con- stantly under consideration by this club. Encour- agement of conscientious citizenship, scholarship, and school loyalty was a major purpose behind the year's programs and projects. The develop- ment of organized recreation activities was just one proof of the effectiveness of the efforts of this club. Its members, tried to fully realize and understand the vital need for sensible but imag- inative leaders in today's and tomorrow's world of business.

This is an example of the many famous quotes used by the Dramatic Club. The main pur- pose of this club is drama instruction, which in- volves speeches, stage conduct, and the correct use of props and microphones. Monologs, charades, and one-act plays were often presented as programs at the weekly meet- ings. The talks given by Mr. Hoffman were most helpful; his friendly guidance enabled the mem- bers to put on their plays with great success. Never Trust a Man was just one of the many plays presented by the dramatic club. Oddly enough, it was an all-girl cast who presented this lively comedy to the student body in March. The Freshman-Sophomore Dramatic Club, un- der the supervision of Mrs. Lester, discovered fathomless resources of acting talent in the club members. No one knows how many stars were born as a result of the productions of this group. Skits and television programs were presented at the weekly meetings. The girls learned how to ap- ply all kinds of stage make-up. The Thanksgiving play gave club members a chance to perform be- fore the whole student body. The officers, pres- ident Jo Ann Martin, Vice-President Frances Moore, and Secretary Barbara Sanford, joined with the rest of the club and Mrs. Lester in making the '62-'63 Dramatic Club the best ever.

The Writers Club has become one of the most important of the extracurricular activities. Students with a desire to learn the principles of journalism form the membership. Programs have been planned and executed with extreme diligence and have included gathering news, writing editorials and features, interviewing, and working on lay- outs and ads. Visitors from the faculty, the Press Club, and the Yearbook staff have helped make the programs varied and interesting. Under the capable and enthusiastic leader- ship of Miss Mary Sue Simpson, most phases of journalism have been made more familiar. All eag- er members work to acquire knowledge of their special interest, because they realize that the staffs of the Mingo Chito and Yazooan come from this group. Members gained the fundamental knowl- edge and background which will aid in the suc- cess of the two popular publications.

The official name of the Science Club is the Yazoo High School Cadets, a club for the advancement, devel- opment, and education of tomorrow's scientists. The Ca- dets' purpose is to create and nurture interest in the sci- ences, to put scientific knowledge to practical use, and to promote and maintain a high level of scholarship among its members. Each year the club requires all members to sub- mit at least one science project for club credit. Out- standing projects are presented in the Science Fair compe- tition. To increase understanding of the practical applica- tion of science, this past year's club members went on a field trip to examine local operations which dealt with phases of science. while Mathematicians and Homemakers ciphered varied formulas. Math Club SITTING: Jordan Fitzhugh Colleen Campbell Eddie Washington STANDING: Randall Fulcher Lary Reese Pete Neely Carl Middleton Mr. Buckley 2+2 = 4? Certainly not, said the mem- bers of the Math Club. Under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Buckley, this club learned many things involving the realm of mathematics. The members found that math could help them not only in the business world, but also in recreation, in college preparation, and in their personal lives. The use of the slide rule and the solution of prob- lems on educational tests were just two topics dis- cussed by Mr. Buckley and his crew. Enthusiasm and pride in jobs well done kept this year's FHA club members in a busy swirl of FHA Club fun and future planning. The girls, led by Miss Mitchell, enjoyed many varied activities. They entertained speakers and had programs each week, endeavoring to learn more about efficient homemaking. Some of the club members attended the FHA's out-of-town meetings. The annual mother- daughter banquet was a successful tribute to the effort and originality of these girls. Our home- makers are preparing to be the best housewives ever. They realize that the homes of the future de- pend upon today's youth.

Hi-Y Clubs Under the guidance of Coach Leslie Clark, the Junior-Senior Hi-Y club was a busy organiza- tion. Every boy had a chance to plan or participate in the programs from week to week. The club heard such interesting speakers as Mr. Jerry Clower and Reverend Roy Self. Other sources for informative programs included football films and talks by various YHS teachers. Officers for '62-'63 were Dan Cox, President- Bobby Thompson, Vice-President; David Hammons, Secretary; Gerald Moses, Program Chairman. All members of the Hi-Y accept and believe in the national purpose—“To create, maintain, and ex- tend throughout the home, school and community, high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y clubs are branches of the Young Men's Christian Association. When a boy becomes a member of a Hi-Y club, he has access to any of the YMCA's in the nation. The purpose of Hi-Y clubs is to promote and build Christian ideals in the lives of the members. Each week the YHS freshman-sophomore Hi-Y club had a speaker whose topic concerned the im- portance of having a Christian attitude at home, at school, and in athletics. Many worthwhile projects were sponsored by this Hi-Y club. The members were in full charge of the concession stands at all home basketball games. Before Christmas, the club sent a check and box of clothes to the Columbia Training School.

The 4-H Club, headed by home demonstration agent, Mrs. Ollie Jean Lane, makes this their motto. This past year's club enjoyed numerous activities in many phases of 4-H. Linda Carson entered the fall flower show and placed first in 4-H Club division with her original arrangements. Linda Nelson and Cathy Walker both attended out-of-town club round-ups. Betty Walker, Linda Carson, and Cathy Walker were all-county winners and received their medals at a banquet in December. Throughout the year, all programs and activities were geared toward improvements of the individual, the home, and the community. 4-H provided various activities to promote effective management of farms and livestock. The girls and boys on the livestock judging teams trav- eled to other areas in our state to gain practical experience in the evaluation of show animals. Yazoo's senior team members were Johnny Ross and Denny Paul. Each spring the club sponsors a local live- stock show which is open to the public. This past year the show was well attended and was consid- ered a real success for the animals being shown as well as for their owners. The care of farm an- imals and the proper cultivation of crops are oth- er projects undertaken by 4-Hers.

Distributive Education, referred to as D.E., is de- signed to guide a student's progress in the fields of advertising, marketing, and distribution of goods and services. Trade and Industrial education involves occupational training in the producing, manufacturing, assembling, and repairing of goods and services. This year the District Conference of the D.E. Clubs met at our school. Several YHS students en- tered different contests and were quite successful. Trade and Industrial Clubs Linda Reynolds won first place in public speaking; Linda Nelson won first place in advertising; Geor- gia Dozier received a second place award in Sales Demonstration, and Jimmy Druery won second place in the judging of window displays. At the State Conference in Greenville, Linda Reynolds again won first place in public speaking, and Linda Nelson copped second place in advertising. In the D.E. and T. l.

Y-Teens Of the numerous organizations at YHS, the Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens Club was certainly one of the more active. These girls, under the su- pervision of Mrs. Leach, scheduled weekly pro- grams which were concerned with improvement of the community and the individual. In addition to frequent parties, monthly service projects kept the Y-Teens busy. In October, trick-or-treat bags filled with Halloween candy were distributed to children in the hospital; in November a Thanks- giving basket was given to a needy family. The Y-Teens adopted a family for the Christmas sea- son, providing them with food, clothes, and toys; the repair of a boy's bicycle was the club's proj- ect for January. Personal growth through service to others was a goal which was reached by the Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens. Of course, the Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens Club didn't do everything! The girls who were members of the Junior-Senior Club had a busy and profitable year. Each week the club scheduled programs consisting of talks made by various speakers, devotions given by club members, and studies on problems confronting the Christian teenager of today. Besides sponsoring several service projects, the Junior-Senior Y-Teens en- joyed recreational activities such as a skating par- ty. These enthusiastic girls also participated in the World Fellowship Program. The club sent repre- sentatives to the district Y-Teen Convention held in Jackson and sent clothes to the Columbia Train- ing School at Christmas. People from various walks of life gave programs to help Y-Teeners in decid- ing on their vocations. As a last activity, the girls entertained the Senior Class with a party.

Pep Squad Left, left, left, right, left! These enthusiastic words were chanted endlessly during all of those hot summer practices endured by the Pep Squad- ers. It is said that practice makes perfect, and that is just what our pep squad was! Dressed in red squaw dresses, white gloves, headbands, and moccasins, and waving red and black rah-rahs, the YHS Pep Squad was a main attraction at every game. Led by the three alternate cheerleaders, Sally Turner, Sally Roberts, and Clara Dean Russell, the pep squaders participated in the parades and school pep rallies and really boosted school spirit. Members were always willing to help with such things as decorating the goal posts and making posters. The willingness and eager spirit of the pep squad even made it worthy of praises from the tough football boys. 84 High ideals of sportsmanship were set forth by the V -Club.

Y-Club Earning a letter in one of the four major sports makes a boy eligible for membership in the Y-Club. Before joining, boys endured a rugged initiation and had to agree to abide by all club laws. Money-making projects kept the Y-Club busy. New initiates sponsored the annual carwash as well as the sale of stickers, tags, and pens. The Y-Club dance, a yearly event, was eager- ly anticipated by the student body. Weekly club programs included films and speakers dealing with sportsmanship and athletic rules. This year, as every year, the aim of the Y-Club was to strengthen good sportsmanship in the student body through the effort and example of its members. OFFICERS President: Dan Cox Vice-President: Fred Corley Secretary Danny Nicholas Big Chief Nicholas supervised ef- forts of initiates as they washed Head's car. 85 Girls’ Ensemble and Music Club made merry for everyone. Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I always hear! Each Wednesday night these words drifted from the auditorium as The Girls' Ensemble re- hearsed and worked toward perfection. These girls entertained such groups as the Rotary Club, The Nurses Organization, the Methodist Men's Club, and the YHS student body. Each girl worked for the improvement of the ensemble as a whole and for the individual honor of being chosen a member of the Girls Sextet. Wonderland By Night, High Upon a Hill- top, and He's Gone Away are just three of the melodious and catchy tunes that were specialties of the '62-'63 Girls Ensemble. Under the instruction of Mr. Stanley C. Beers and Mr. Donald Vaughan, music club members be- gan to realize that music is an intricate business. The 1962-63 program dealt with two overall fields —theory and conducting. Music theory is a tech- nical study of harmony and melody. This year students learned the mechanics of writing various types of musical arrangements. In the realm of student conducting, the pupils learned how to con- trol the tempo, the volume, and the tone quality of all sections of the band. The Music Club of 1962-63 may have produced several future com- posers and conductors. FIRST ROW: Julie Ivers, Rosemary Sudduth, Margaret Mathis, Susan Brigham, Pam Sharp.

Gay—Director Mixed Chorus Helen Gulgham—President Carol Sudduth—Vice President Marietta Jenkins—Secretary-Treasurer Jean Jackson—Accompanist The Yazoo High School Mixed Chorus, under the capable instruction of Miss Bernice Gay, con- tinued to grow in student appeal and to improve its quality of music. The Mixed Chorus provided a welcome opportunity for many students to learn more about vocal group music. The only talent prerequisite for membership was the desire to belong and a willingness to work. Many novice songsters who were introduced to music through the chorus discovered latent singing talents. The 1962-63 Mixed Chorus had a very busy year. A performance at the Thanksgiving Program marked the third such appearance made by the chorus in three years. As guest entertainment at the local Rotary Club, the chorus received the friendly hospitality of the Rotarians in addition to an excellent meal. The mixed chorus was one of the groups featured at the YHS Christmas program, an annual event presented by all of the school's musical organizations. Second semester was crowd- ed with preparation for the District and the State Choral festivals which were held in Jackson in March and April. The year ended with a concert for the local D.A.R. Chapter and a spring concert for the high school members assembly. Returning members of the 1962-63 Mixed Chorus look forward with an- ticipation to another year of music. 87 Along the roacl we heard music rising from voices high and low FIRST ROW: Miss Gay, Carol Cobb, Julie Ivers, Margaret Mathis, Jackie Fuller, Jenell Kight, Linda Jenkins, Linda Bloom, SECOND ROW: Geraldine Brignac, Anna Catherine Dunn, llva May Foster, Angela Riley, Joyce Hill, Faye Montgomery, Lane Richards.

Girls’ Chorus Under the direction of Miss Bernice Gay the Girls' Chorus participated in many varied pro- grams. The Mozart Club, The Lions Club, and the Rotarians were just three of the groups entertained by the chorus this year. Musical selections ranged from traditional melodies to modern arrangements. Being a member of the Girls' Chorus meant more than the attainment of musical knowledge; the girls gained stage composure as well as pure enjoyment of the urge to sing. Boys’ Ensemble The Land is My Land is just one of the tunes which drifted from the studio room as the Boys' Ensemble practiced under the direction of Miss Bernice Gay. These boys were favorites on many programs presented for the student body and for civic organizations. At the annual District Choral Festival, four boys from the group won an excellent rating in quartet competition. Members of the quartet were Ricky Fisher, Van Foster, Don- ald Roberts, and Ronnie Wilkinson. 88 if instruments added appropriate background of harmonic tones. DIRECTORS: Donald Vaughan and Stanley C. Beers Yazoo High Marching Band OFFICERS were: Sheila Allgood, Macy Satterfield, Gay Caperton, and Colleen Campbell. Presenting the Yazoo High School marching band under the direction of Stanley C. Beers and Donald Vaughan and led by head majorette Cor- nelia Stewart. These were the words that rang in the ears of each band student on Friday nights as he stood at attention, alert and ready, waiting for the sound of the whistle. At the beginning of each week Mr. Beers and Mr. Vaughan outlined the plan for the weekly show. During the week the students practiced their parts individually in their library periods. For the rest of the week, the band met at the football field to drill until all parts were perfected. Each week's hard work was climaxed on the night of the game as the band performed under the glare of floodlights and the appraisal of spectators. After a week-end's rest, the cycle of drill, practice, and perfection began again for Yazoo's high-stepping marching band. 89 With flashing batons, twirlers executed colorful routines.

Jazz First you take the beat—tat . . . tat-a-tat, tat, tat ... tat .. . Next you add the bass—dum, de dum, de da de, da de . . . Then the melody sings out—la, de, de, da, da . . . Finally, the harmony answers—la, la, la, da . . . Gradually as the in- struments fall in place, the music begins to take shape and produces what the average layman knows as jazz. Actually jazz cannot be described. It must be heard and felt. As Louis Armstrong once said, If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know. Jordan Fitzhugh, Alan Copeland, Everette Beers, and Rae Shannon Stardusters An unofficial, but delightful addition to the extracurricular activities at Yazoo High School is the Stardusters, a jazz quartet that was formed this year. Although the Stardusters play twists and rock 'n roll for dance work, they are trying to branch out into more sophisticated and artful forms. They play several songs in the style of Dave Brubeck and George Shearing, and have composed several original numbers. Stage Band A one-a-two-a-one-two-three-four, tapped Mr. Vankhan's baton as the Stage Band swung in- to motion.. Combining classical talents with a mod- ern beat, the members of the jazz section of the band favored a new flair. With hard practice, genuine talent, and pure love of music, these students proved to be excel- lent entertainers for all lovers of melody and rhythm. Gaye Caperton, Barbara Goodwin, Kathy Crowder, Cornelia Stewart, Everette Beers, William Coody, Richard Collins, Jordan Fitzhugh, Paul Evans, Larry Carter, Bob Lester, Allan Story, Alan Copeland, and Danny Goodwin. 91 Outstanding bund students obtained well deserved recognition. A superior rating was awarded to the flute quartet, which included Barbara Kelly, Caroline Barbour, Pam Blount, and Molly Gilbert at the 1963 band contest. Mississippi's Lions All-State Band included Everette Beers, clarinet; Macy Satterfield, majorette; Kathy Crowder, saxophone; and Jordan Fitzhugh, trombone. Few people outside the band itself are aware of the weeks of sweat and determination that go into the organization and perfection of a ten min- ute appearance on the stage or the marching field. By the same token, few people are fully aware of a band member's deep satisfaction after a first- class performance or his love of music which is born after hours of toil. Playing in the 1962-63 marching and concert bands took up much of a student's time and en- titled him to well-earned recognition. Playing a solo, being a member of an en- semble, or trying out for the Lion's All-State Band Everette Beers, Gaye Caperton, Col- leen Campbell, and Barbara Braid won a superior rating in the clarinet division of the band contest. were feats for only the brave and the most pro- ficient.

An air of expectancy filled the halls of YHS as the traditional Homecoming Day began. The crowning of Queen Linda in assembly by co-cap- tain Fred Corley and the introduction of the Home- coming court officially began the day. Represen- tatives of the four classes and their escorts began practicing days before the homecoming for both the afternoon parade and the installation of the court at the homecoming game. After the parade on that wonderful afternoon, none of the court could be found. The girls were primping at the beauty shops and the boys were getting haircuts and shoe shines, picking up suits from the clean- ers and making last minute preparations. That night rain dampened the skies, but not the spirits. The court arrived in their respective convertibles amid the applause of a pleased homecoming crowd. The court began their official reign during a splendid half-time ceremony. Wild enthusiasm filled the auditorium as the band and the cheerleaders began Homecominq celebration with a pep assembly. Faculty and students helped make the day a success. Playing and parading, the Yazoo High band led the afternoon parade which set the stage for the night's fes- tivities. Following the band came the convertibles in which the loyal court rode. A magical homecoming mesmerized all into a night of enchantment. Bubbling with excite- ment, Polly Woodell and Clara Dean Russell, Freshman and Sophomore maids, led the homecoming court. Rid- ing with them were their es- corts, Wallace Russell and Bink Williams. Wonderment and exhil- aration exemplified Varner Hines and Colleen Campbell, representatives of the Junior and Senior classes. Their es- corts, Jimmy Elkin and John Holmes, seemed interested in something besides the girls. Engrossed in the game, Linda Lane Ledbet- ter, Queen of the home- coming court and her es- cort Randall Fulcher, watched as Yazoo City battled with Columbus in the homecoming game. 95 9iCr. yj s Mos JI an cis orne 7iob Jiel y Character, scholarship, leadership, and service were the qualities exemplified by Bob Kelly during his four years at YHS. Bob lettered in three major sports and received the most Val- uable Player award given by the Yazoo City Touchdown Club. He was a member of the S Club for four years and was tapped by the National Honor Society during his junior, year. A 4-year member of the Student Council, Bob was elected student council President for his Senior year. He was Chairman of Teenagers Against Polio, and he was an active member of the First Methodist Church. His friendliness and unselfish ser- vice made Bob Kelly a person to remember. TiCiss Lincfa Lane L edoeiter A bright smile and keen enthusiasm made Linda Lane Led- better the essence of school spirit at YHS. During her Senior year Linda led cheers with boundless energy and was chosen to reign as Homecoming queen. The National Honor Society tapped Linda in her junior year in recognition of her leadership, scholarship, character, and service. For three years Linda was a guard on the basketball team. This past year she served as manager for the Indianettes. As a youth leader in the Meth- odist Church, Linda further developed her potential as a leader of today—one who will be a real citizen of tomorrow. 97 TKost J eautifu Go Ieen Gampoe Versatile, talented, witty as well as beautiful, Colleen Campbell superseded the saying that beau- ty is only skin deep. Her long list of talents and merits were included in almost all of the school activities. Her art work appears throughout the '63 Mingo Chito as do many of her excellent ideas on copy and lay-out. She was elected to the Who's Who of the yearbook as a favorite and class officer. Her personality made Colleen a true friend and a wonderful companion. With her sincerity, charm, wit, talents, and beauty, Colleen was an inspiration to higher goals for all who came in contact with her. 98 )e es and Jjeaus f es fie JlTetca fe 100 101 102 103 c5i fiest c Sopf]() n ore Jiuzz JlCorrow Jfoffiest Junior been Sorrier Jreenesi Jresnman L onnu Gowseri yriencfliest Linda Ledbetter 7red C ) or Leu 104 FIRST PLACE WINNER In State Public Speaking, Linda Reynolds competed for National honors.

GIRLS' STATE AND BOYS' STATE sponsored by the American Legion is something looked forward to by many Juniors. Representatives are sent by the civic clubs to Belhaven College. There they set up a form of government patterned by our own state govern- ment. They divide up into two parties—the National- ists and Federalists. They learn the duties of each of- fice while observing the state officials at the capitol. Representatives from YHS are Elizabeth Cooper, Patti Harrell, Alex Grant, Josephine Coker, Mary Laura Satterfield, Juanita West, Ruth Miller, Laurie Thomp- son, Ginnie Lee Terrell, Barbara Kelly, Shelia Allgood, Carol Ann Sudduth, Varner Hines, Frieda Kramer, Sha- ron Little, Merrill Merkle, and Bob Lester.

PERSEVERANCE and initiative were only two traits that marked the National Merit Semi-Finalists, Jordan Fitzhugh, Danny Nicholas, and Fred Corley. Of this group, Jordan Fitzhugh went on to become a finalist and to receive many scholarship offers. He accepted one from Sewanee, Tennessee.

Quill and Scroll The selection of a student into the Quill and Scroll Society is meant to be a true honor to a student. To him, it represents hours of tedious toil and an unerring faith in the publication he produces. To be selected for the society, the stu- dent must be either a Junior or Senior. However, YHS has limited her membership to seniors who have established their standing in Journalism. These seniors must have done superior work in some phase of journalism—or school publications work such as writing, editing, business manage- ment or production. They must also maintain a position in the upper one-third of their class in scholarship. This honor, indeed, shows service to their school and is an honor which each student holds dear. 107 1962 MEMBERS: Bob Kelly, Jean Jackson, Linda Ledbetter, Stella Turner, Barbara Lee, Fred Corley. 1963 MEMBERS: Everette Beers, Macy Satterfield, Bob Lester, Barbara Kelly, Merrill Merkle, Elizabeth Cooper, Jordan Fitzhugh, Cornelia Stewart, Barbara Goodwin, Sally Turner, Colleen Campbell, Randall Fulcher, Danny Nicholas, Anne Gibbs, Ronnie Wilkinson, Clifton Watson. National Honor Society On April 4 the long anticipated day came for the Juniors and Seniors. This year the National Honor So- ciety tapped ten seniors and seven juniors with the 1962 members in charge. Yazoo City was the first school in Mississippi to have a National Honor Society. The Honor Society was started on a National level by the National Association of Principals. Mr. Frank L. Williams, Principal, and Mr. R. J. Kuntz, Superintendent, started the Honor Society here in 1934. The Honor Society was originated in or- der to motivate students in every way. This year Barbara Lee served as the narrator. Holding the candle with the gold ribbon symbolizing the golden rays of knowledge, Fred Corley showed the importance of scholarship in determining success. Bob Kelly, displaying the royal purple of leadership, said that one must be able to follow before he can lead. Character, one of the most important qualifica- tions, was given by Stella Turner who said, It mat- ters not if you win or lose, but how you play the game. The crimson ribbon, symbolic of service, adorned Jean Jackson's candle. Scholarship, leader- ship, and character are hollow words if one does not possess the selfless quality of service. 108 National Athletic Scholarship Society Membership in the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a junior or senior. Boys granted membership in the society must exhibit the highest quality of scholarship, sportsmanship, and citizenship. The society was founded on the principle that the student, if well rounded in all phases of campus life, will make a better citizen of tomorrow. Besides demonstrating physical prowess by winning at least one letter in a ma- jor sport, he must maintain a scholastic average which places him in the upper Vb of his class. The nine new members were tapped at Recogni- tion assembly on May 10, and the honor bestowed on them was one of high merit. 1962 MEMBERS: Richard Hatchett Fred Corley Randall Fulcher 1963 MEMBERS: Bob Kelly Danny Nicholas Billy Ray Stokes Dan Cox Gerald Moses Bob Sherling Leslie Metcalfe Tommy Teaster Butch Gary 109 Cheerleaders This was the year that the student body yelled for the cheerleaders. The Pep assembly could not have been better. Students anxiously waited for Fridays to come so they could join in the wonderful spirit of 1962-1963. Head cheer- leader Linda Ledbetter, Elizabeth Cooper, Mary Lee Anderson, Stella Turner, Susie Nicholas, Frances Scroggins, and Ginny Terrell enthusiastically planned skits and entertainment for each pep as- sembly. Yes, this was a year that students will long remember. ■■■ MARY LEE ANDERSON LINDA L.

Given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the youth of our state by instilling in them qualities of fair play, character and leadership through high school athletics. These were the words inscribed on the beautiful plaque, which was presented to Coach Jenkins November 30 during half time activities of the Mississippi Bowl foot- ball game in Jackson. Because of his outstanding contribu- tion to the youth of the state the Clinton Jaycees selected Coach Jenkins for this award. Coach Jenkins coached five season at Picayune prior to moving to Southwest Junior College at Summit. While at Picayune his teams posted a 31-15-2 record, and at Southwest his gridders won the Mississippi Junior College Championship his second year there with their only un- defeated season in the history of the school. He was also named Junior College Coach of the Year in 1958. On being notified of the selection Coach Jenkins stated, It's a great honor as I have dedicated my life to working with young people. I know that I represent many, many other active men over the state in accepting this award. Under the reigns of Jenkins, the Indians have made an impressive record during their four years in the Big Eight Conference. The first two seasons the tribesmen had eight league wins compared to only one defeat and two ties. Last season they tied their first three opponents and then finished with three wins and four defeats. In the last three seasons opponents have scored 241 points to 601 points for the Indians. Leslie Clark, a line coach, reported following tenure in the reserve National Guard. Line Coach, Norman Soulis was a former Indian Junior High Coach and graduated from Southwestern where Coach Jenkins was Head Coach.

It is usually the attitude and desire of these seniors which turn a possible disappointing sea- son into a very successful one. Of these Indian stalwarts Fred Cor- ley and Montey Ramsey earned a position on the All Big Eight sec- ond team and Eddie Washington was named to the third team. Danny Nicholas, Dan Cox, Rich- ard Hatchett and Bob Kelly re- ceived an honorable mention. Bill Anderson was recognized by the coaching staff as the most im- proved player.

Season Summary August was not long arriving and any ad- vice on how to beat the heat was welcomed. The long hours spent on summer jobs, the strict cur- fews, the training table, were all sacrifices that would be put to use during two weeks of the two a day grueling practices. The clatter of cleats, the smell of leather wet with perspiration, the long chalk talks and the muffled predictions of the sideline coaches were all present just as they were in previous years.

For the sophomore it was new, exciting and challenging. For the junior—it would be waiting for him again next year—why think of it now. But for the senior it would be the last go around. The last time he would board a greyhound to play a distant team; the last time he would have those horrible butterflies during Fri- day pep assemblies; the last time he would be captain and have to stand up and say a few words about the game.

HALTI Gerald Moses and a host of other Indian tacklers stagger the progress of an opponent during a Friday night tilt. As the Yazoo Squad launched into their fourth grid season they possessed the potential of being one of the school's best. During mid-season the most serious case of injuries that have ever hit local grid teams fell upon the '62 team with a terrific blow. The freak casualties jarred the team's hopes of having a perfect record and perhaps a chance for Big Eight Champ honors.

These were typical ex- pressions of our squad as they left for a Friday night battle. The scrappy and fighting B-teamers posted a 2-0 record. The main purpose of any B-team is to give experience to a young boy who has the po- tential of becoming a varsity starter. Yet the eye of every B-team member is on that guard or tackle who sometimes thinks he has it made. It takes the B-team to keep such players on their toes realizing that they never have a position made. These boys are receiving valuable expe- rience and training to prepare them for a position on the varsity squad.

SECOND ROW: Tommy Teaster, Gary Mood, Billy Ray Stokes, Fred Corley, Bob Sherling. Basketball A new season began and the Yazoo City Indians stormed onto the hardwood, racking up 15 wins and 1 loss before Christmas Holidays. Coach Cobb's cagers co- ordinated leadership, experience, hard work and team work to roll past such teams as Greenwood, Clarksdale, Vicksburg, Natchez, and Murrah. The Indians boasted two trophies as a result of winning the Vicksburg and the Yazoo City Invitational Tournaments. The fighting cagers lost only four games in regular seasonal play, however, they were very disappointed in the closing tournaments of the season. In the Big 8 Tournament, the fifth ranked In- dians lost to fourth ranked Tupelo. Yazoo City finished fourth in the Sub-District 6, losing by a very close margin to Clinton. Not dismayed by this defeat they went on to play in the Sub-District Tournament, losing to Florence by a score of 61 to 51. On the whole this was considered one of the best seasons the Indians have ever had. Returning lettermen on this year's Varsity squad were Bob Kelly, Randall Fulcher, Billy Stokes, and Gary Mood. Along with Fred Corley, these five boys formed the nu- cleus of the Yazoo Varsity basketball team. Next year's returning lettermen who gained valuable experience and strengthened this year's Varsity team are Bob Sherling, Johnny Fraiser, Bob Lester, Tommy Teaster, and Gary Harbison.

Coach Jarvis has proved himself a leader and a hard worker, sharing victory and defeat with his team. Sacking-up two points against Natchez in the Vicksburg Invitational Tour- nament is Randall Fulcher. Yazoo went on to defeat Natchez and lake first place honors in the tournament. Yazoo High boasted two of the best guards that this school has ever seen—Ran- dall Fulcher and Bob Kelly. Both boys contributed their talents to coordinate team- work among the starting five. Randall Fulcher dis- played his skill of scoring by tallying over 200 points while Bob Kelly proved valuable as a defensive player. Displaying his dribbling abilities in the Greenwood encounter.

Serving as Yazoo's center was Fred Corley who used his 6 foot 4 height to the advantage of the team by doing a fine job of rebounding and scoring. Fred was awarded the honor of PERMANENT CAPTAIN by his teammates. The Indians' most experienced play- er Gary Mood, utilized this experience to carry out his assignments on offense and defense. Selected by his teammates as the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER of the season was Billy Ray Stokes. Taking advantage of open shots and completing the plays set up by the guards, Billy was able to maintain a 17-point average per game. Gary Mood goes high over his opponent to score two points. 120 Enthusiastic B-Team closed an 8-3 season under new leadership.

B-Team The B-Team had its most successful season in quite some time under the guidance of Leslie Clark, a fine amiable coach. They posted an ex- cellent record of eight wins and three losses. The first seven opponents found the going mighty rough as Clark's Indians downed them rather handily. The only team to defeat this proud B-Team twice was the Ponies from Murrah. The Indians defeated the Vicksburg Greenies, the Greenwood Bulldogs, and the Belzoni Warriors twice as the Clarkesdale Wildcats and the Greenville Hornets fell once to these mighty Indians. The Hornets of Greenville were the only team to beat the hard fighting and experienced team. Some of the boys helped the Varsity team this year. This group will return next year and will be a valuable asset because of the experience they received this year.

Under the able coaching of mentors Margaret Hester and Sabin Rush the girls completed the season with 8 wins and 4 losses. This record proved the Indian- ettes worthy of competition in the Sub-District 6 tournament, where they finished third. This qual- ified them to participate in the Sub-District tour- nament at Brandon. Here the girls fought hard but suffered defeat at the hands of Florence by a score of 59 to 31.

SENIOR BLAND CAMPBELL played in the coveted No. 1 position for the entire season. Coached by George Blair, the golf team, in its second year, was a top-notch group formed around a host of returning lettermen. Many sophomores and juniors gave cause for the younger set at Yazoo High to be extremely proud of the golf team. Only one senior, Bland Campbell, will be lost next year. The '63 team participated in three matches and one tournament. The first match, against Greenville, ended in a victory for the hometown boys. However, a return engagement saw them defeated by a narrow margin. The last match was in Vicksburg against their Greenies. This match was played on the toughest course in the state, but the team overpowered its op- ponent and finished with a 13-stroke victory. The highlight of the season was the Big-8 Golf Tournament, which was held at the Livingston Park course in Jackson. Play consisted of each participant touring the eighteen-hole course twice. In this tour- nament the team finished 8th in the state and 5th in the North Big-8. The season was certainly successful and our team was highly regarded by opponents. As in all other sports, Yazoo's golf team upheld our high standards and traditions. 123 To cope with Big-8 competition, the ’63 Track Team combined FIRST ROW: David Hatchett, Sammy Hanna, George Farrish, Danny Nicholas, Merritt Merkle, Obie McClure, Russell Fisher. SECOND ROW: Otto Browning, Mike Curran, Nate VanCleve, Fred Corley, Colin Campbell, Danny Hanna, Gary Brown, Tommy Everett. With just a trio of returning lettermen, the Indian track team found only the keenest of competition in the North Big Eight Division during the 1963 season on the cinders. In a retrospective season summary. Coach Eulas Jenkins stated, Our times were as good or better than in previous seasons, but our competition showed greater improvement. Sprinters Danny and Sammy Hanna and shot men Fred Corley and Danny Nicholas formed the senior nucleus of the predominately sophomore-junior squad. Junior thinclads who were newcomers were high- jumper Nate VanCleave and sprinters Jimmy Rogers, Butch Gary, Gary Harbison, Michael Curran and Mer- rill Merkle. Sophomores who listened for the sound of the starter's gun were Bob Walker, sprinter and hurd- ler Obie McClure, hurdler Gary Brown, high-jumper Colin Campbell, sprinters Russell Fisher and Paul Evans, and distance men Tommy Ragget, George Far- rish, and David Hatchett. With every muscle taut, Fred Corley exhibits the strenuous effort and superb form which was responsible for his achieving such colos- sal heaves in the rugged shot-put competition. 124 speed, strength, and agility with an earnest desire to win. In this continuation Obie McClure displays the coordination which is required to obtain an excellent timing in running the 120- yard low hurdles. Obie competed with some of the top performers in the state. Track The Indian cindermen opened the season with a dual meet in Vicksburg and then went on to compete in the Hinds Invitational, the Canton Relays, and the Greenwood Invitational before taking part in the giant Jackson Daily News Relays. Members of the mile relay unit who competed with over 100 other schools in the state's largest meet were the speedy Hanna twins, Sammy and Danny, sophomore whiz Obie McClure, and the swift St. Stanislaus transfer, Michael Curran. Members of the team who received letters were seniors Fred Corley, Danny Hanna, Sammy Hanna, junior Butch Gary, and sophomore Obie McClure. Dedicated to the proposition that every suc- cessful track team travels on its feet, Otto Brown- ing and Tommy Everette put forth praiseworthy efforts as managers. Coach Jenkins explains to various team members the techniques that are necessary to assure quick starts at the sound of the gun and to increase their overall speed. 125 Young Indians gained invaluable experience and showed mounds Piloted almost entirely by juniors and sophomores the '63 baseball team made an equitable showing. Playing in the toughest district in the state, the Indians' spirit was always evident. After a first game loss to Canton the Indians defeated Belzoni, Benton and Murrah consecutively. Unable to con- jure hits the squad lost to Vicksburg, Central twice and Murrah in games which could have gone either way. The Indians retaliated 6n April 15 with a 5-3 victory over the Benton Bulldogs. The Vicksburg Greenies were the next victims as the Indians won 7-2. Coaches Jarvis and Huff were pleased with the hustle and fight that the team showed all year. Coach Jarvis leaves for Laurel and Coach Huff to Oakdale, Louisiana, where they will continue as coaches. Seven starters will return to form next year's nucleus. Johnny Fraiser, who had the highest batting average, Ger- ald Moses, and the two starting pitchers, Haley Barbour and Tommy Teaster will head the team play. Next year's Coach, Eddie Castles, will have a solid nucleus for a good team. Baseball THE PITCHING abilities of sophomore Haley Barbour and junior Tommy Teaster were in demand all season. Coach Jarvis gives the moundsmen a few pointers. Both will return next year to increase their winning records. 1963 Baseball Members were, FIRST ROW: David James, Greg Horne, Jim Arnold, John Norht, Haley Barbour, Randell Fulcher, Leslie Metcalf, Bob Kelly, Larry Mobley, Carnes Kelly. SECOND ROW: Skippy Teaster, Dennis Melton, Ray Heidel, Gary Mood, Monty Ramsey, Gerald Moses, Jerry Lanoux, Tommy Teaster, Johnny Fraiser, Charles Ford, Bink Williams; not pictured David Parker. 126 of fight and desire; optimism high for on-coming season.

By the way, this is not an advertisement for Crest. FRESHMAN Carnis Kelly did a fine job with his relief pitching. The lefty should see plenty of action with the Indians in his remaining three years.

Managers are a large part of this action. These boys must be on the job and in good spirits, keeping the boys in shape and making sure all the equipment is ready. Any reg- ular around the fieldhouse can relate in clear-cut terms the story of the never-ceasing, often dirty, and long- hour job of a manager. These duties were ably performed this year by the head manager Jerry Lanoux and his as- sistants Jimmy Smith, Jon Foose, David Hatchett, and Otto Browning. Usually good intramural referees are few and far between, but this year there were five extra good referees at 12:25 p.m. Refereeing every sport was Billy Ray Stokes and helping him at different times were Tommy Teaster, John North, Johnny Fraiser, and Gerald Moses. A daily scene at intramurals was the long line of shoes against the wall—made neces- sary by the hard and fast rule of no hard soled shoes on the gym floor. 128 Intramurals began October 1, 1962 with touch football. Brackets were drawn up and opponents drawn by homeroom presidents. There were many exciting games, one of which was when a fresh- man homeroom held a sophomore homeroom to a 0-0 tie. Football ended at Thanksgiving with Hester and Beers playing the best two out of three. Hester's Hessians were the victors and re- ceived the trophy. Cold and windy weather brought inside sports—basketball and volleyball. Girls' basketball was first with Hunt playing Hester for the cham- pionship. For the first time Hester lost and gave Hunt, another senior homeroom, the victory. How- ever, Hester retaliated when their boys beat Smith's homeroom for the Boys' Basketball Cham- pionship. Volleyball was very interesting and as volley- ball came, warm weather moved in. The Girls' Volleyball trophy went to Massey while, of course, the Boys' trophy went to Hester. Over-all intramurals Championship for 1963 went to Hester's homeroom, winning three out of five championships. Here Massey and Lester battle for a win in touch football. The freshmen held the sophomores to a 0-0 tie, but were defeated by the mighty soph- omores in the second contest. Hester and Hunt vied for the Girls' Championship in the best two out of three. Here Hester is trying to tip over the serve to get a much needed point. 129 Annie Ellis-Main Street Pee Wees battled for championship. CHAMPION REDS: H. White, B. Johnson, T. McCrory, R. White, J.

The pee wee football system is the primary step for future Junior High and High School ath- letes. The boys set forth to develop their abilities and muscular coordination under the direction of qualified and interested coaches. For the past four years, four teams, two from each elementary school, have competed for the pee wee champion- ship. Having four teams gives many more boys a chance to participate. Red and White - Cheerleaders - Blue and Green Junior High Football, baseball, basketball, volley- ball, tennis, and band are some of the ac- tivities that fill the days at the Junior High. The Press Club, the Art Club, the Dramatic Club, the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Clubs, the Latin Club, the Junior Garden Club, the Mixed chorus, and the Library Club are or- ganizations which have kept our students busy in a variety of fields. Like the high school, the junior high has its school paper, the Junior Highlights. This paper contains information about the teach- ers and gossip about the students. Other than regular classes, the junior high students were required to do individ- ual work and research. One proof of this fact was the library display of civil war note- books. 131 Junior High faculty guided and directed students preparing A sound foundation in junior high school is the basis for a successful high school career. For this reason the junior high school faculty should be the best available. In 1962-63, the faculty members of Yazoo Junior High School, in their willingness to work for the benefit of the students and the school system, upheld an enviable standard of excellence. The principal, Mr. Cruit Buckley, served as a source of information, inspiration, and understanding. His years of experience enabled him to guide the faculty and the student body in a wise manner. Mr. Buckley somehow took enough time from his duties as principal to be a first-class math teacher. Each teacher contributed to the broad, encompassing sched- ule of extracurricular activity, for educators have long realized that a true education is derived from more than books. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, in club meetings, or in teacher-student conver- sations, these men and women gave of themselves in a rewarding effort toward educating the pre-teens and young teenagers of Yazoo City.

Now, you just watch that gas, shouts the master wit, while I stir this solution! Miss Ingram is still pounding subjects and predicates into the heads of weary learners. The new method of changing classes and teachers aroused much excitement and provided a most interesting change. It gave the students a break between periods, a few moments to ex- change words and a change of face. Science homemaking and shop, being the first elective course, stimulated the students immensely, while at the same time it provided pleasure and personal satisfaction. Might as well relax while I study, seems to be the philosophy of Tommy Phillips. 133 Personable students at Junior High received acclamations and Eighth Grade Favorites DONNIE HOLLIS CAMERON CHAPMAN Chosen as eighth grade favorite this year was Donnie Hollis, whose congenial smile has served as an asset to his growing popularity. Donnie has proven his musical ability by serv- ing as a member of the Junior High Band. Donnie has also shown his interest in his school by taking part in many club activities. This year the high honor of being select- ed as an eighth grade favorite was bestowed upon Cameron Chapman, better known to her schoolmates as Cam. Cam was an active member of the Press Club, serving as the de- pendable secretary. She was also a junior high cheerleader who yelled the Warriors on to victory during football season. Mr. and Miss Junior High JEFFERY SMITH BONNIE JOHNSTON Pert Bonnie Johnston was elected by her fellow classmates to fill the royal seat of Miss Junior High. Bonnie led the ac- tivities in her homeroom and in the press club, where she served as president. Jeffry Smith, who was chosen as Mr. Junior High, has played a prominent part in Junior High Activities. Jeffrey lettered in basketball and football and has been a leader of the athletic club and his home- room. 134 titles that will linger with them forever from fellow classmates. Seventh Grade Favorites RANDY WILLIAMS JUDY REEVES Judy Reeves, who is pert and pretty, had the honor of being chosen by her classmates as seventh grade favorite, a title which she rightfully deserved. Judy, who was very ac- tive around the junior high campus, contrib- uted much to her class and maintained a high scholastic average. A well-known and well-liked member of the junior high student body was Randy Wil- liams. Cute and blond-headed Randy proved his popularity among the boys and girls by being selected seventh grade favorite. Randy is very active around school and was usually the first one on the tennis courts seventh period. Mingo Chi to Reps LEE SPENCER CAMERON CHAPMAN Hard-working and dependable Lee Spen- cer has certainly been an asset to the Mingo Chito staff. While participating in various jun- ior high activities and working on the annual, Lee has also managed to maintain her mem- bership in the S Club. Another important aid to the Mingo Chito staff this year was Cam Chapman. Working together, Cam and Lee helped make this jun- ior high section a success. Cam was also an active participant in the seventh period tennis games. 135 Clubs train even the younger students in a great asset of life- FIRST ROW: Rebecca Deloach, Peggy Stroup, Julia Roberts, Meredith Foose, Don Gentry, Deborah Deaton, Miss Catledge.

The book, I DARE YOU, written by Mr. Dan- forth, was presented to these students. To receive this award a student must play an active and useful part in school life. Ella Mae and Donald were both excellent students. Ella Mae received the first athletic trophy given by the girls athletic club. Obtaining goal, students advanced another step - Graduation. Kathy Hood and Tom Boyd were the honored re- cipients of the American Legion Award. This award is based on character, citizenship, leadership, scholar- ship, and service. Kathy and Tom were high in their subjects and were willing servants of their school. This year for the first time the eighth grade class had the chance to nominate students for this honor.

The Yazoo Jr. High Warriors got off to a siz- zling start as practice began in late August. The first week and a half was composed of two prac- tices a day which many of the players dreaded, but spirit was high and they realized it was for the team s benefit. The Warriors were under the excellent guid- ance of Coaches Sonny Huff and Cobb Jarvis. With the leadership of these two coaches, the team closed the 1962 season with a 2-0-4 record. Al- though the record wasn't up to par, the opponents were convinced that they had battled against a determined group of boys. We got to F-l-G-H-T was the cry of these cute little cheerleaders as they led the cheers for the Jr. High Gridiron. Dressed in red and white, they were quite well-known throughout the sta- dium for their victory cries. The group was led by Sandra Stovall who was elected to serve as head cheerleader. With the help of six other perky youngsters, the group was quite successful in letting the fans know how proud they wepe of their teams.

Ninth Grade - Basketball - Junior High The ninth grade Warriors had an eight game losing streak to overcome because the year before the team had participated in a winningless season. This year the tide was somewhat changed with the team winning five of their (ten games. This record went on the books as the team's best performance ever. The boys' junior high basketball team made an excellent showing this past year.

And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh! I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. As the year's road of learning forks toward two inevitable ends, and the pages of the '63 Mingo Chito close for the year, we, the staff, leave you with the wish that this publication will be your most enjoyed book and the assurance that we have taken the greatest pleasure in compiling it.
