Mingo Chito Yazoo City High School Yazoo City, Mississippi Editor RUTH MILLER Business Manager WILLIAM COODY Assistant TOMMY TEASTER Assistant JOHNNY FRAISER Art JOHN T1NNIN Sponsor MRS. H. E. WATSON Volume 18 Published by the Yearbook Staff I Foreword For years we have been writing a continued book —a diary. We have included everything that has ever happened to us. or because of us. The begin- ning was long ago, and the end . . . well ... no one knows. We. the Mingo Chito staff, invite you to look into your 1964 diary. We have tried to include every memory of a wonderful year, a year which was unforgettable, a year which was ours. The year had many aspects, each a product of the class it represented. To the Seniors it meant a finishing of one stage of life, a grasping of a goal long awaited; to the underclassmen it was one step more toward a search for their goal. The reali- zation of a year that meant the same things in a different way to each student of YHS, will be un- folded in these pages of the Mingo Chito. “The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.” 2 1964 Dedication The cheerful smile which is always there, the willingness to give of himself, and the joy he gets in helping others, characterizes our “Music Man.” A veteran of many years in the musical field. Mr. Stanley C. Beers has worked hard to give to YHS a marching band, of which we can indeed be proud. His dedication to the service of others through the world of music, his capacity and enthusiasm for hard work have captured the hearts of this student body. Mr. Beers, head of our band department, is an exceptionally well-trained, talented, and exper- ienced person, whose enthusiasm, knowledge, and qualities of leadership have been an inspiration to all of us. His contributions to YHS campus life surely will be enduring. His ideals, always expressed quietly and unassumingly, are ones that students w'ill long remember. For his complete selflessness, his sin- cere desire to help all students, and his genuine interest in his profession, we dedicate the 1964 Mingo Chito to you. Mr. Beers. A man of unlimited talents, Mr. Beers gives of himself unceasingly to help others. In his favorite chair, with his pipe and newspaper, Mr. Beers relaxes after a day of hard work. Though “catchy” music is his work, catching fish seems to be his pleasure. Aside from his other hobbies, Mr. Beers is an accomplished photographer. 3 Introduction Administrators Student Life Junior High Table of Contents 1-12 Advertisers 13-28 Index 29-124 Conclusion 125-149 Autographs 150-174 175-179 180-184 185-192 4 Monday Monday’s refreshments after a tiring day at school. The first ones to the Tastee Freeze are always Butch Gary and Susann Dunwoody! Dear Diary, Blue Monday again! Today marks the i eginning of another long and dreary week. Actually. Mondays are blue only if one makes them so. They are days packed with extra studies, such as hook reports, pop tests, and spelling words. Oh. I know that book report day is always Tues- day. hut Monday is that horrible day of The student council was always eager to make new regulations. President Jimmy Elkins, with his dangerous weapon, the gavel, presided over each meeting. Everyone usually paid close attention, except J. W. Keathley, who was always looking at Varner Hines. preparation. Monday is usually an experiment day for “Uncle George,” who insists on fumi- gating the entire school with death defying hydrogen sulfide. If anyone happened to be asleep, this would surely awaken him. One of the year’s highlights was the Y- Club initiation, which began on Monday. This first day was always the worst—the worst smell, the worst looks, and the worst punishment!! Poor Buzz Morrow, who al- ways laughed, always got the bad end of everything. David Hatchett may be little, but powerful—he could really swing that board!! Mondays were blue, bad, and sometimes even sad, but never, never dull! There were always those little things just made to cheer one up—things that meant something to no one else but you ! 5 T uesday Tuesday, always exam day! Remember how w’e always had so many tests? Surely there is a conspiracy among teachers about giving tests on the same day. In spite of tests and homework, we still managed to find time to participate in the other activities offered on Tuesdays. Let's see now, oh, yes, there w'ere many bas- ketball games on Tuesdays. Remember the game with Greenwood? Their girls’ team was so inexperienced that we walked all over them. We’ll never forget how mad Sue Mayfield got when Miss Hester let her play for only three minutes. Miss Hester’s point was that the less experienced girls get to play some! And they did, everyone of them!! A typical Tuesday night was spent thumbing through book after book searching frantically for material for our research theme—which always seemed to be due on Wednesday. It seemed as if Bobby DuBois and Patti Harrell spent half their time reading up on the latest jokes, while everyone else studied! “Uncle George’s” capable Chemistry classes! They were always trying to discover a solu- tion that they could use to blow up the school. Remember once when Bobby Jones and Mathew Smith almost succeeded? Poor Susie Nicholas and Frances Cooper even crawled under their desks they were so frightened! Our dramatic club worked unceasingly to bring us the best entertainment ever! Jimmy- Spears certainly stole the show in their last production—he also stole many young girls’ hearts that day! In this picture, it looks as if “lover” Jimmy has given Linda Carson up for another. 6 Wednesday The Math Club, though one of the smallest clubs our school, was one of the most successful. Bobby Jones and Charles Allen were always working hard at answer- ing those difficult problems. When they thought they had the right answer, Bob Lester would come up with something to prove them wrong!! It seems as if the Library Club was always promoting parties. The annual Teacher’s Tea was really a big thing! Everyone seemed to enjoy it and worked hard to make it a smashing success—especially Mrs. Smith! How could anyone forget those wonderful Wednes- days? So much happened! Remember, Christmas day came on Wednesday. This was quite an eventful thing! It snowed and we couldn’t believe that we were actually having a White Christmas! However, snow didn’t stop us from communicating with everyone to see what all Santa Claus brought! Varner Hines got a T-Bird! Butch Gary got a new bow! Bill Atkinson got a car! Poor Susan n Dun woody felt so left out—she only got a gold charm bracelet. Then, of course, came New Year’s Day, when every- one just lay around recuperating from a night of merry- making! Everyone spent New Year’s Day watching his favorite football teams battling it out on television. Ratted hair seemed to be the fad! Penny Woodell . and Dianne Tisdale set the style pace with their lovely bouf- fant hair-do’s. It certainly was a lot of trouble ratting it all, wasn’t it? 7 Thursday “Open wide,” says Sheila Allgood, as Barbara Knott takes a big bite out of a delicious apple from the Quik Serve. 1-2-3-4! Keep those hands higher!! Oh! Those terrible calisthenics were always so rough! We were always so sore the next day! Oh! Those terrible Thursdays! Somehow we always got report cards then! We would always get grounded because of our grades. It was torture for Tony Mefford as he anxiously awaited his Spanish report card! Of course, there were good times, too, such as that Basketball game with Central! And, those exciting Base- ball games. We really had good teams. I suppose no one will ever forget one thing that happened on Thursday—Halloween! The whole school must have been at Susann Dun woody’s! Remember how Varner Hines went running all over the yard chas- ing Gerald Moses with a water balloon? Boy! When Larry Chilton decided to go inside—through the closed glass doors, he certainly started an up-roar! There were other Thursday events too! For the Fresh- men there were exciting football games: for the Sopho- mores, the pep rallies; the Juniors had a grand time helping the Seniors make footballs; and the Seniors just loved throwing them out! Look! We’re all playing teacher! Jon Foose and Dennis Boyd direct attention to something that may be school work, or it may be “Beatle business.” Faye and Leland seem to be impressed with their explanations. 8 Friday Friday, November 22, will always be remembered in the hearts of every student at YHS. Though many disagreed with some of his ideas, people all over the world grieved at the tragic and untimely death of our great President. John F. Kennedy. This brave, young President left behind the country that he loved so much, and a people that he longed to help. Yes, Friday, November 22, 1964, became a special day for each of us at YHS. Jimmy McKennon told the Miller's Tale in Mrs. Parker’s Senior English class. He points to the fascinating wart which grew on his nose. Friday’s were always filled with excitement! On February 14, everyone anxiously awaited a valentine from his secret admirer! Of course, there was also the Senior Play that everyone enjoyed. Friday was always assembly day, with entertaining and educational pro- grams. Remember the film on “Smoking and Cancer?” And Mr. Young’s annual address to the Student Body? —How could you forget?? Richard Collins Shines up his “bug” for his Friday night date. Among the most interesting as- semblies this year was a speech given by Secretary of State Heber Ladner, the father of our own Miss Ladner. His talk was most in- spiring and meant a great deal to every student. 9 Saturday Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! or at least that’s what we’d like to do, hut our Saturdays were always so busy. One of the biggest programs of the year w’as our Teens Against Polio. We had several projects during our drive. Griffin Norquist and Caroline Barbour pushed road blocks, candy sales and other projects. Cookies. Candy, Apple fritters!! This was the cry of the Juniors as they held their very successful bake sale to raise money for the Junior-Senior party. Between Mrs. Parker and her apple fritters and Cathy Crowder and her millionaires, over S200 was raised. Pop corn, anyone? It’s always a treat at the midnight show! Bobby Wayne DuBois can’t seem to un- derstand that Patti Harrell already has a box—she doesn’t need another! Steak? Pie? What shall we have. We can’t make up our minds. Everette Beers, Ken Addington, Sheila Bland and Mike Highbaugh decided on a hamburger at the Circle. Strike!! Hoo-ray! Bowling is the greatest of fun—good exer- cise too! It’s 7:15! No. I refuse to go—please, somebody help, Mother!! Remember when Lucy Vaughan and Laurie Thompson dragged us all out of our beds one Saturday morning to go to a “come as you are” breakfast? Oh, boy, did we ever look terrible!! Please, “I Wanta Hold Your Hand!” Music, music, music—the sounds of dancing feet! Among the many dances held, the Y-C.lub was particularly enjoyed. Re- member how Varner Hines refused to go up on the bandstand when they announced that she was Y-Club sweetheart? She thought they were playing a joke and refused to believe them. 10 • Sunday Relaxation at last! We always tried, but somehow there was homework to do or we just plain “goofed off!” After Sunday school and church we would hurry home and eat. so that we could “play” the rest of the day. We would go bowling, or ride around or even fly kites at the football field! When the weather turned warmer wre always got “Spring Fever” or was it “climbing fever.” Nevertheless, we would always go hiking and explore “unknown” places! Bob Sherling and Larry Carter found bicycling to be a wonderful exercise—and fun too. But of course, on bad days we managed to stay in- doors and do homework or watch television. Food! Food! I’m starving! Hurry or we’ll be late for church! I’ll have Lemon pie, please—I just love it! One of the most beautiful churches in our city is the First Methodist. In 1904 fire destroyed the greatest part of Yazoo City including the original church. (Grandma remembers!) Services were held in the courthouse until the first unit of the new church was completed in 1906. Yum! Yum! DoNuts!! Lemon, Cherry, Rasberry, Coeoanut—you name it, Shipley’s has it! Help. I’m falling! Remember when that certain group of Sophomores decided to fly a kite? There was just one problem—no wind! They were so bright that they decided to make their own. They all climbed into the car and two volunteers hung out the window. So off they flewr with the kite soaring above them! However, they didn’t count on it coming down while they were on the highway!! Then there was Sunday night!! We all had to finish that homework and it took forever. We usually ended up calling twenty people before we found out what all our assignments wrere! No one ever seemed to know!! But we usually got things straight and with droopy eyes began our work. II Memo “Beatlemania” has swept across the United States like wild fire! Students at YHS seemed to go all out! Jon Foose and Varner Hines were among the first to contract the disease. Books! Books! Books! Who was the bright child who humped into the shelf so hard and caused this disaster? Oh, Mrs. Smith was changing the library around. Sabin Oral Sundays were a big success in Yazoo County. Our high school was one of the places where the new vaccine was given. “Well, hello there!” says lovely Miss Sims. Oh, no!! It really isn’t “Miss” Sims—it is actually Jim Simmons. This outfit was worn in a beauty contest sponsored by the March of Dimes. 12 Administration Respected, honored, and appreciated—these three adjectives sum up the feelings of all Yazooans for Superintendent Fred W. Young. His work for us cannot be accounted for in a few words; however, we recognize his effective, hard work as head ad- ministrator of the Yazoo City school system. As students leave YHS, they realize they are leaving one of their best friends, a man whose integrity, Christian ideals, and dedication cannot be equaled. The task of supplying funds and directing the welfare of the school has been given to the school board. Mr. H. T. Barrier, a well known planter and business man; Mr. C. M. Dunn, cotton broker; Mr. Elbert D. Lott, prominent businessman; Mr. John S. Holmes, attorney; and Mr. John L. Graeber, co-owner and operator of the Graeber Brothers Ice Plant are the present members of this group. While looking over the past four years, students of YHS can gratefully acknowledge the excellent job these men have done. MR. FRED W. YOUNG, Superintendent BOARD MEMBERS: H. T. Barrier, C. M. Dunn, E. D. Lott, J. S. Holmes, and J. L Graeber. 14 MR. HAROLD C. KELLY MR. SABIN RUSH Principals and Counselors The principal of a high school must be a mediator between teachers, students, and parents. Smiling, genial Mr. Kelly has shown in his ten years at YHS that he can handle this job efficiently. Once a basket- ball coach. Mr. Kelly shows the affable traits usually attributed to an athlete plus the dignified, firm char- acteristics of a good school administrator. Mr. Rush, coach, counselor, and assistant principal, plays a big part in the lives of all the students of Yazoo High. Preparation is the theme of his work, as he prepares pupils for tests, prepares them for choosing a college or job, and prepares them to meet the big. mean world through his confident sincere guidance. As supervisor of instruction for the Yazoo City Public Schools, Miss Hattie Richardson has made herself invaluable. Because she is concerned with every child, she is always greeted with smiles and cheerful salutations in the halls of YHS, and through- out the school system. MISS HATTIE RICHARDSON 15 English MR. WALLACE E. HOFFMAN English and Counselor B.S., M.Ed., Kansas Univ. Kansas State Univ. MRS. JUANITA JENKINS English B.A., Miss. College MISS MARY LADNER English B.A., MSCW. Millsaps, Univ. of Miss. MR. LINFIELD MILLER English B.A., M.C., M.A., Millsaps MRS. J. W. PARKER English M.A., Miss. College MISS JULIA PIATT Speech and English B.S., MSCW Literature was the paramount interest of the English classes this year. The ever prevalent classics David Copper field, Jane Eyre, and The Tale of Two Cities were once again on the agenda. “Romeo and Juliet” was added as a new experience, and students at least gained a little culture. YHS pupils once again tried to comprehend the value of good English. The exposure of students to good literature resulted in appreciation of the ad- vantages that can be gained, such as a learned vocabulary and simple enjoyment. Eloquent lan- guage requires more than literature alone, thus mak- ing knowledge of verbs invaluable. “Inside there are seats,” explains Belx during one of Mrs. Park- er’s English classes. This model of a Shakespearean theater is used to help students understand the production of Shakespeare’s dramas. “Don’t forget to add the adverb,” Miss Ladner points out to Charlie Wright who is busy diagraming English sentences. As the student progresses, a new form of parsing is used. Until that day these Fresh- men will draw their diagrams dili- gently. 16 Languages DR. GUSTAVO GARCIA, Spanish, Junior and Senior High—Law degree, Havana University MRS. ELEANOR LEISTER, Latin. Spanish, ' and Social Science, B.A., Millsaps College The study of a Foreign language as a major or minor interest, offers vast opportunities in a world in which the linguist will, gain fore- most recognition. Preparing himself for the career of his choice, today’s student will discover that to he completely successful in this vocation, the study of a foreign language is almost always expedient if not compulsor)'. Yazoo City High School has provided for ef- ficient language study through the investment of a modern well-equipped Spanish Labora- tory. and skilled instructors. Are the boys listening to another Spanish tape or are they listening to one of the Doctor’s Spanish records? The earphones and speakers provide stu- dents at YHS an opportunity to become first rate linguists. Latin Slaves on one side and masters on the other. The annual tradition of a Latin Banquet and initiation day was received this year. King Lonnie Graeber and Queen Sara Alice Fleming reigned over the fes- tivities. ‘‘My son brought this statue of Romulus and Remus back to me from Rome,” boasts Mrs. Lester to Fran. “Well, my sister gave me mine,” replies Fran. 17 Science MRS. NETTIE FERRIS—Science, B.S., Belhaven College MR. GEORGE RICHARDSON—Chemistry, Phys- ics; Masters, Graduate work, Univ. of Mississippi, Univ. of Utah MRS. NAOMI D. ROBERDS, Biology, B.S., MSCW There are many advantages for scientifically minded students to advance in their chosen field at Yazoo High. Courses range from general science to the highly com- plex courses of biology, chemistry, and physics. In general science the freshmen and sophomores cover the exciting field of science, from what makes a tree grow to how an engine runs. The biology classes are undertaking unforgettable experiments and investigations in their observation and disecting. Unearthly smells have begun to creep from the chem- istry lab as the pupils become carried away in their combining of the 101 chemical elements. They have by now realized that their experiments sometimes end in unbelievable surprises. The physics classes concentrate on the science of matter and energy. They have had some lively class discussions and many interesting speakers. Besides these courses the students have a chance to enjoy many other fields of science that one would want to work in, including our famous science club. “Is this wiggly creature with the green spot an Euglena or an Amoeba?” De Graeber, a fortunate biologist, was able to use one of the electric microscopes in the lab. “Don't you know better than to point that burner at me!” shouts “Uncle George” to one of his most “dangerous physics students, David James. Chemistry students had their first ex- periences with bunsun burners when they con- ducted lab experiments. 18 Mathematics MR. KENNETH W. BUCKLEY. Mathematics and Counselor, M.A., Miss. Southern MRS. GEORGE CLARK, Mathematics, B.A., Long- wood, Virginia MR. LESLIE C. CLARK. Mathematics and Coach, B.S., Miss. Southern Students at YHS realize the importance of obtaining a substantial background in modern math. The courses offered here range from general math to second year algebra. Our program provides strong foundations in the processes which are fundamental to our modern scientific, commercial, industrial, and social systems. In all of the math courses we are instructed by competent teachers. Math continues to be stressed as basic to the Junior Ben Darby, Sophomore Betty Mood, and Freshman Jerry Davis seem to be spending their recess studying. Since one can’t accomplish much at recess these three soon learned to do their homework at home. improvement of modern civilization. Has Johnny mastered the art of reading the slide rule? Let’s hope so! It’s really funny to see these Juniors failing tests because they used a slide rule for their answers and didn't know how to use them. While Mrs. Watson reviews the grades on report cards the girls proudly compare A’s and B’s. The looks of the boys show utter amazement and despair. 19 Social Studies MR. HILL DAVIDSON, Social Studies, B.A., LL.B., Univ. of Texas MISS MARGARET HESTER, Social Science, History, Counselor, and Coach, B.A., MSCW MR. DeWITT MASSEY, History and Social Sci- ence, M.A., Miss. College MRS. C. D. WILLIAMS, History, B.A., Blue Mountain, Graduate Study, Univ. of Alabama The principles of our country and others were im- pressed in the minds of YHS students through the various fields of social studies. In the student’s freshman year, he studied Mississippi history and civics. In American history, the students began their study with Lief Ericson and continued to present events in order to learn more about America and her relation with other countries. World history, economics, and govern- ment were choices of the upperclassmen. A YHS gradu- ate has the opportunity to learn about the past and present of our state, nation, and world through these six fields of social studies. “Ah ha, another perfect paper. I must really be a good teacher.” Miss Gandy, a mid-term addition to the faculty, brought more pep and sparkle into the halls of YHS. Miss Hester goes over the duties of sheriff with Wayne Finley, Susie Nicholas and Haley Barbour, County Government candidates. During “I certainly don't think I'll ever be in need of the first semester, students participate in an election of county and another map,” declares Mr. Massey in the midst city officers who will attend County Government day. of a discussion of Europe and the USA. 20 Music MR. S. C. BEERS. B.A., Hendrix College, Ark., Band Director, Jr. and Sr. High School MISS BERNICE CAY, B.M., M.M., Med., Bel- haven, Peabody, LSU, Public School Music and Choral Director MR. DONALD VAUGHAN, Assistant Band Di- rector, U.M., M. of Music, Memphis State “Lift your elbow a little,” Mr. Vaughan, tells Barbara Kelly during afternoon session. As as- sistant band director, Mr. Vaughan finds his work cut out for him. “Flutes ready?” Whatever the band is practicing for, you can be assured it will be top-notch. This must be ensemble practice. Miss Gay and her choruses practice diligently for their programs which are enjoyed by every student. Music at YHS is enjoyed by many of her students. Besides public school music, which is taken by freshmen, a 65-strong mixed chorus and a superior band are avail- able to students of our School. Miss Bernice Gay ably led the Mixed Chorus, Girls’ Ensemble, and the Girls’ Sextet. Early in April the Chorus attended the District Festival and later the State Festival where they received an excellent plus rat- ing. The band under the direction of Mr. Beers and Mr. Vaughan performed beautifully this year. Those talented musicians who were interested tried out for Lions All State and went to the state solo and ensemble contest. The stage band lifted the spirits of everyone with their rhythm and jazz. 21 Commerce MISS LOUISE HENDRIX Shorthand. Type- writing, Sec. train- ing. MSCW, B.S. MISS DOROTHY MITCHELL Bookkeeping, Busi- ness Eng., Business Training, Typewrit- ing. Miss. Delta, A. A., Delta State, B. S. in Ed., U.M., M.B.E. The Commercial Department of YHS during 1963-64 proved to be a big success in the training of students for commercial business. Even though some of the students will not actually go into commercial business, they were taught the various subjects of typing, shorthand, book- keeping, secretarial training, business English, and busi- ness training. Perhaps the five minute timings and tabulation prob- lems in the typewriting classes taught by Miss Louise Hendrix and Miss Dorothy Mitchell will bring back memories of hours of adding, subtracting, and dividing only to have the whole thing wrong. Transcriptions in shorthand and practice sets in bookkeeping sometimes discouraged the want-to-be-perfect students into inces- sant indolence. After a year of hard, tedious wTork, many of the eager students showed their interest by applying for positions in business. O.K., Hugh Nelson, flipping back for answers won’t get the job done. Having a practice teacher like Buddy Upchurch was so exciting that Jane Beale couldn’t possibly make a timed writing. Every time he spoke she made a mistake. Tap. tap, tap. Bookkeeping requires accurate use of the adding machine, and a swift finger as the one Ricky Carson has. 22 Home Economics MRS. RALPH C. HUNT Homcmaking MSCW, B.A. One of the most meaningful and useful courses that is offered at YHS is that of home economics. Girls taking this course not only study the values of being an efficient housekeeper, but learn such arts as dressing smartly and improving one’s- personality. Laying and cutting a pattern were tedious tasks that preceded the sewing session. Altering a garment for perfect fit was made easier when using the full length mirrors in the fitting room. Cooking brought delicious aromas through the halls of YHS. The joy of eating the food prepared by home ec girls was always marred by the thought of unwashed dishes. Planning budgets, furniture arrangements and work schedules were skills the students acquired during the year. With this training the girls no doubt will ap- preciate their present home more and be successful homemakers in later years. “Where shall I put my bed?” is the query of Carol Wilkin- son. Teresa Jennings ponders before she answers. House planning is only a part of the many phases of homemaking, hut a very valuable art for a young housekeeper. This method surely does beat the clothesline. The home- making class experienced a year of leisure with the newly installed washer and dryer. Even Miss Hester used it to clean her basketball socks. “How do you like my suit?” asks Nelda Dangelo. All four girls made their outfits and are model- ing them before the FHA Club. Who knows, we may have the “best dressed women” of the United States in our midst. 23 Vocational and Industrial Arts MR. A. L. BOND Diversified Occupations and Distri- butive Education, M.Ed., Miss. State MR. BOBBY G. TOWERY Industrial Arts and Mechanical Drawing, Jr. and Sr. High School, B.S., Miss. State Univ. Kenneth Woodruff hopes that his figuring was right as he finishes up his latest model of a what-ya-call it. Diversified Occupation and Mechanical Drawing classes provide the student with an education to help him after graduation from high school. Diversified occupation offers education designed to help a person enter into and make progress in the fields of advertising, marketing, and distribution of goods and services, and in occupations that involves producing, manufacturing, assembling, and repairing of goods or services. Mechanical drawing classes aid students who plan to enter the profession of commercial art, drafting, and engineering. Mr. Bond lends a helping hand to Betty Monday and Janell Kight as they labor over a problem in vocation. Practice teacher, Scottie Taylor aids young boys in the art of sawing a block of wood. “Watch those fingers!” Physical Education and Drivers Training ED CASTLES Social Science and Coach. B.S., Missis- sippi College, M.A., U.S.M. E. S. JENKINS Athletic Director, Coach and Driver Training, M.A. in Phys. Ed., Univ. of Miss. The students in physical education have been enjoying a year of fun as well as healthful activity. The P.E. teacher. Coach Ed Castles, also coaches basketball and baseball. Coach Castles has been very interested in teaching his students the fundamentals of basketball, and at every session the students go through drills which have given way to steady improvement. The year has been packed with surprises: the girls enjoyed sessions of dancing during the early part of the year; the boys and girls held a free-throw tournament, and all were able to try their hand at ping-pong. “Just nine more times and I’ll be through,” breathless Charles Has- sin moans as he endeavors to get through the last of Coach Castles’ “easy” drills. “Hurry up and start the music,” says Phyllis Moss, “before I forget what to do next.” The P.E. girls learned square dances galore; keeping them separated was quite a chore. “Now, Allan, Coach Jenkins says patiently, “let’s see if we can’t get between the stick posts this time.” Driver training is offered to all sophomore students who wish to learn the safe way of driving. Under the watchful eye of Coach Jenkins the students are instructed in all funda- mentals of safety. 25 Library MRS. MARY EMMA SMITH Librarian B.A.. M.S.C.W. The Library is one of the most important and fre- quented rooms in YHS. Each day a steady stream of inquisitive students pour through its doors in search of an answer. At hand is an extensive collection of all materials needed for essays, term papers, speeches, and themes. “Scarlet O’Hara, you were great! Tom and Huck, you were clever too.” The library club entertained the student body with a play about familiar books during National Book Week. “Keep looking, you’ll find it. The reserve books, kept behind the desk are always being used by ambitious English and History students. “Oh, these books are heavy,” moans Harriet Collins as she mounts the steps to Rick’s Memorial Library. Many hours are spent here looking and gathering much needed informa- tion for school papers. “Before I start on this American Heritage, I think I’ll read the funnies,” muses Dianne Hassin as she finds enjoyment from the material available in the YHS library. 26 Mrs. Edna M. Broocks Mrs. Dorris T. Caperton Mrs. H. G. Hairston Mrs. Rosa Harrison As executive secretary to Mr. Fred Young, superintendent, Mrs. Wes Caperton has endeared herself to the students and teachers at YHS these past seven years. Mrs. J. H. Broocks, also a secretary to Mr. Young, enjoys the outdoor sport of baseball after office hours. Most efficient in her responsibilities to Mr. Kelly is Mrs. Carolyn Johnson, Mrs. Johnson has become a “secretary of all trades” for students and faculty. Mrs. H. G. Hairston sees that the Yazoo City schools get excellent food in their cafeterias. At YHS she is assisted in this task by Mrs. F. N. Harrison, Mrs. Ketchum, and Mrs. Simmons. “We’ve got some more money for you, Mrs. Johnson.” This is the familiar cry Mrs. Johnson hears whenever students at YHS take up money. Don’t push, Lucy! Tish, there’s plenty for all. Cawie's in a rush to get out the milk. This picture portrays another busy day in the cafeteria of YHS. 27 Hobbies Could the dancers in this chorus line be our teachers? On Thursday nights Mrs. Lester and Mrs. Roberds put aside all school work and concentrate on a bridge game. It’s no secret that these darling grandchildren find them- selves in Mrs. Williams’ company whenever she has a minute to spare. To help show you students that our teachers are not a separate species but are human beings with interests and pleasures like you yourselves, we are presenting a page which we devoted to the outside activities of our beloved teachers. Since the ’63-’64 school term was the first experience with practice teachers for YHS, our veteran teachers took their first well deserved rest. Practice teachers Dotty Akin, Billie Fay Maddux, Bill Albert, Marlin Del- lenger, Scott HemLeBen, and George Bolton seemed to enjoy their ex- perience. Out on the farm, Mrs. Smith rates first place as a pitcher. 28 Studeni Bodj 29 Anxiously adapting, merrily inclined, persistently prodded, Cameron Chapman, Jim Simmons, Mary Ann Pinson. Officers Elected to the office of Freshman class president this year was Jim Simmons. Jim has proven his friendliness by being elected favorite by his class- mates. He displayed some of his athletic ability by playing on the Junior High football team. Jim is also well-known in baseball as he played Pony League ball. Cute and jolly Bonnie Johnson began her Fresh- man year with bang. Bonnie added the title of freshman class vice-president to her list of honors. She was elected homeroom president and was chosen freshman favorite. Some of her hobbies are playing basketball, riding horses and has her own football team in Eden! Cam Chapman, secretary of our class, displays a wide range of varied interests. She showed her athletic qualities by being a forward on the basket- ball team. Other hobbies include playing golf and riding horses. Though she appears a bit shy, she acquired a long list of friends during her first year at YHS. Alderman, Lynn Arender, Jill Bates, Beth Beers, Betty Jo Bloom, Larry Bond, Tommy Boyd, Tom Bray, Linda Brister, Marie Broadaway, Shirley Brooks, David Broocks, Jim Brown, Paul Browning, Tommy Calhoun, Mildred Faye Carpenter, Sherry Carson, Rathal Carter, Vicky Carver, Kirk Chapman, Cameron 30 the novices started on their jovial ivay, whistling as they went Favorites Vivacious Mary Ann Pinson, our Freshman fa- vorite, exemplifies a mbdel first year student. With her sweet smile and friendly attitude. Mary Ann began the year right by being elected Miss Yazoo City in our annual beauty contest. She helped to boost schbol spirit by being in the Pep Squad. Because of her charm and grace, Mary Ann was featured as a beauty in the Who’s Who. She has already acclaimed wide fame at our high school. Jim Simmons, who was our Freshman president, wras also chosen as Freshman favorite. He displays his ability as an athlete by his outstanding wrork on the Junior High football team. Jim took an earnest and sincere attitude in his school work and was very active in many school organizations.

The first days were rather hectic though. Of course, we all felt like dirt under the upperclassmen’s feet! But I suppose that’s all a part of being freshmen. The Yazooan even wrote articles about how “green” we were! Truett Duncan actually found them amusing! The first days were filled with hurrying from class to class so that we wouldn’t be late, usually finding that we had the wrong books.

Remember how Marian Fitzhugh was always going to the wrong history class? Well, even after one whole semester he sometimes still does it! Yes, life as a freshman was sometimes unbearable, but as a whole, it was filled with many new experiences and much excitement. From beginning to end, there were classes, sports, new friends, grades and wait- ing for the 3:45 bell to ring!

Officers Versatile Byron Seward won the favor of his classmates by being elected president of the sopho- more class. He was also elected president of his homeroom. Byron has been an active member of the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y Club for two years. He also exemplifies his interest in sports by par- ticipating in football. The Sophomores’ choice for the office of vice- president was David Roberts. David certainly proved to his classmates his ability as a leader when he was elected president of the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y Club. An outstanding athlete, David played end on the varsity football team and center on the B-team basketball squad. Secretary-treasurer John Kirk has aided his fellow officers in leading the class to a most rewarding school year. He also has showed his reliability by serving as an officer of the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y Club and his homeroom. In sports, John was at his best. He was a most active participant on both the football and basketball teams at YHS.

Although he was interested in several hobbies and sports, he has managed to make exceptionally high grades in all his studies. Byron has been a most active member of the First Presbyterian Church and a participant in many church activities. Friendly and capable Rosemary Sudduth cer- tainly has proved to be a favorite among all the Sophomores. Chosen as Sophomore football maid for homecoming, “Rosie” well represented all who elected her. Rosemary has been a member of the Girls’ Ensemble for the past two years. During her freshman year she was especially busy as a member of the Student Council.

William It’s hard to believe! No longer are we the bewildered freshmen of YHS. but now, we’re boisterous Sophs! Remember in 1962. we were on top of the world. We could push those younger students around and do as we pretty well pleased, for we were “big 8th-graders.” But then, our magic bubble burst, and we were dropped to earth like lead balloons. No longer could we push those underclassmen around, for we had become “green freshmen” of high school, finding ourselves trampled on by those wild upperclassmen. That year rumbled by like a freight train and suddenly we were on our way up higher and higher, back to our bubble. In our Sophomore year at YHS we accomplished much. One of the most important events was getting your driver’s license. This event was only one of the many that made our year the best ever. As Juniors and Seniors, we will go beyond all expectations. Santa Claus certainly didn’t forget us Sophs. Ben New- ton mailed his letter early. 38 knows not that he knows not;” we say ours just 66know not.

We frowned upon the “greenest” of the freshmen, laughed at the joviality of the juniors, and gazed longingly at the seriousness of the seniors. Oh, those midterm and final exams! They were the hardest ever. Success was and is our goal. We lived well, laughed often, and loved much; we gained the respect of our teachers and the love of our fellow students. The Sophomore class of ’64 surely had the best of everything—at least that’s what the “sophs” thought! 41 Debbie Nelson applies the knowledge she gained from Library Science as she checks out books for Dennie Paul and Benny Rose.

He showed athletic ability by participating on the track team. His classmates showed their confidence in his ability as a leader by electing him to the student council. Richard Murphy, a favorite figure around Yazoo High, has again portrayed his popularity by being elected Vice-President of the Junior class. He illus- trates his athletic abilities by being a two-year letterman on the varsity football team. “Bear,” as he is often called by his classmates, showed his leadership qualities by being elected to the Student Council. Mary Lee Anderson, Junior class secretary-treas- urer, has worked on the school paper and has been a member of the Safety Club. She has displayed traits of cooperativeness and leadership of her three years of high school. Mary Lee was elected a beauty in Who’s Who at YHS. Tommy Raggett, Mary Lee Anderson, Richard Murphy. service and capable leadership throughout the Favorites The Junior class favorite, Wayne Finley, is known for his friendliness and good spirit during work or play. He has proved hiiflself on the athletic field by lettering in football for the past two gridiron seasons. Wayne’s sunny personality and immense popularity have won for him many honors. Among his most coveted honors are his election as Sheriff of County Government Day, membership in the Safety and Y-Clubs and his selection as a homeroom officer every year at YHS. Vivacious Mary Lee Anderson has, in her three years at YHS, been a credit to our school life. She has added much to our school spirit by serving as a varsity cheerleader for two years. During her sophomore year, she was selected homecoming maid and in her junior year she reigned as queen of the homecoming court. A prettier and more elegant queen YHS has never seen. She has showed her versatility by playing guard on the basketball team, where she has assumed her responsibility well. Wayne Finley, Mary Lee Anderson entire school year.

Varner Hines, Bob Sherling, and Jon Foose. Fa vori les Active in every phase of school life. Varner Hines again claims the spotlight, as she accepts the honor of class favorite. This girl with a happy-go-lucky personality recently represented the Women’s Di- vision of the United Givers in the annual drive. A celebrity with her own radio program, she informs the town as to past, present and future activities at YHS each Thursday afternoon. Sharing the spotlight of class favorite with Varner is Leslie Metcalfe. Leslie, a crew-cut blonde much sought since “way back when.” played first string fullback on the varsity football team this past sea- son. Having received the Best Blocker and Tackier Award at the touchdown banquet, this handsome individual was selected Mr. YHS and Friendliest Boy by the student body in the November Who’s Who election. Leslie is also a Beau, as any ob- servant young lady can see. Officers Serving as president. Jon Foose, revealed his ability in the field of leadership to the class in his junior year as vice-president. Having been a foot- ball manager for three years, Jon was promoted this year to the duty of head manager. He has also been president of the science club and a member of the Y-Club. “Veep” Bob Sherling, another well-known figure, has been a big participant in school life since en- tering high school. Bob maintained an average above 85. which enabled him to qualify for the S-Club all four years. His continuance in the S-Club, while playing both football and basketball awarded him membership in the National Athletic Honor Society. An individual most familiar with her job is sec- retary Varner Hines. She has served in this ca- pacity for her homeroom, for her class, for the Yazooan Club and is now serving as secretary-treas- urer for the Student Council. Besides these abili- ties. Varner has been in Who’s Who. has been a Rotary guest, football maid, and has exercised other talents as a B-Team cheerleader.

Remembered incidents of their green days, new at Y.H.S.. stumbling blindly through the halls, frantically searching for the correct classroom—all these rose anew before their mind’s eye. Not so green but almost as silly, they progressed to the sophomore stage, struggling to know their teachers well enough to rate an “A” and still not be labeled an egghead. On becoming juniors, these students realized how far they had come on the road of education and felt secure enough to be able to glance around at the new freshmen with eyes of sympathy and understanding. And finally reaching that stage so often dreamed of and talked about— their senior year. This was a year of joy, of sad- ness, of smiles, of tears, a year to be remembered, when fingering the apparel that would end an episode in life. 51 Waiting in the halls to rhyme seniors were found any old time.

Each Thursday night at approximately seven o’clock a multitude of amateur artists descended upon some unlucky volunteer’s humble abode to create their masterpieces. At this particular session Bob Lester seemed to be quite surprised at being caught admiring one of the completed footballs; while John Tinnin apparently thought that if he concentrates with enough intensity, the photographer will vanish. 57 In the Curious Savage we were great; on Broadway we didn’t rate!

The club brings forth ideas, of school, and comes out in favor of the new school policies and against old ones needing change.

Deadlines had been met and another hectic year was between covers. This year the members of the staff have worked extra hard striving to make this annual the best ever. Pages had been drawn and redrawn until perfection seemed impos- sible! The faces of people agonized the slumbering class editor, while the typists saw big black bold letters all night.

THE YAZOOAN gives a monthly report of the facts and features that keep the student up-to-date in the busy whirl of school life. Through the school paper, the aspiring staff publicized the many activities of YHS and the surrounding community. Opinions on timely subjects were expressed through editorials. Meeting deadlines on time is the principal thought in the minds of staff and club members. It is their job to fill each page with news and interesting tidbits. Getting out the paper requires many long hours and late nights, but the members do not really mind be- cause. when the ratings come in. THE AZOOAN is always on top of the list. Among their top honors are first class honor rating in the National Press and in Quill and Scroll. Most Outstanding Paper at Ole Miss Press Institute, and Medalist winner from Co- lumbia Press.

Mrs. Smith and “her girls” again entertained the entire school with a play to honor National Library Week. This year, classic characters came to life before the eyes of the spellbound student body. The Club also presented the play at the Eleventh Annual Student Library Assistants of Mississippi Meeting held in Jackson. Our high school placed second for the best library. In poster competition they placed fourth. The Jr.-Sr. Library Club consists of girls and boys that are already familiar with the library and its functions.

One of the several services of the Junior Library Club was to keep the library attractively organized. The members dedicated their club period to cleaning the shelves and dusting behind the books. They ad- vertised important events of each month through the bulletin hoard at both the high school and the public libraries. At the weekly meetings, programs included literary quizzes, such as “You Don’t Say’ giving clubs to identify authors and famous characters. Reviews of teenage books concerning boy and girl problems were timely and helpful. The future Senior Library Club members learned how to use the magazines and books available and became acquainted with the library procedures and also the requirements of becoming a student librarian.

The entire school enjoyed the Thanksgiving program. “Sing the Songs of Thanksgiving,” presented in as- sembly by the club. The members participated in a group of one-act plays with the assistance of the Junior-Senior Dramatic Club. No one will ever know how many stars were born as a result of the produc- tions of this group. Fathomless resources of action talent were discovered in the club members. The Junior-Senior Dramatic Club, under the direc- tion of Miss Julia Piatt, was busy learning details concerning the stage and terms used in connection with it. They learned how to effectively use facial expressions while on stage through various panto- mimes. charades, and imitations of fellow classmates. At “try-out time” all of its members eagerly and nervously awaited Miss Piatt’s announcement of the cast. In the latter part of February the club pre- sented “A Case for Two Detectives.” a mystery comedy which was enjoyed by all the student body.

This club, under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Buckley, was organized primarily to promote a more ardent interest in higher mathematics and planned its programs around difficult problems involving algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trig- onometry. This group found Math useful in the business world, in recreation, in college preparation, and in their personal lives. Many members proved themselves potential mathematical giants by solving problems on educational tests. They discussed the changes made in the modern concepts of Mathematics in a changing world. The Future Homemakers of America had one of the busiest years ever. The aims of the club were to develop better understanding of family relations and contribute to the improvement of community life: to promote good will through getting to know neighbors at home and abroad: and to develop potential abili- ties. The club, sponsored by Mrs. Ralph Hunt, was vis- ited by a hair stylist and also by Mr. Earl Ingram, who talked about the care of shoes. The girls visited one of the local meat markets to learn how to select choice meats. Another trip was to a furniture store, where they learned about styles of furniture for different uses.

The girls broadened their horizons by helping those in need throughout the city. They had several projects during the year to further their aims and invoke the ideal of Christian living. In December. Freshman-Sophomore Y-Teens made Christmas more complete for one needy family by providing them with food, clothing, and toys. In addition to holding an Easter egg hunt for needy children the club distributed Easter baskets to the children in the hospital.

The club is designed particu- larly for those students who plan business careers. The girls learn about business through various proj- ects and programs. They endorsed speakers and held various programs during the year. The development of organized recreational activities, such as skating parties, was just one proof of the efforts of this club to promote fun and fellowship. Its members tried to fully realize and understand the vital need for sensible but imaginative leaders in the world of busi- ness. Junior-Senior Y-Teens, under the supervision of Miss Mitchell, was one of the more active clubs at YHS. Programs were presented with the idea of impressing upon each member the meaning of their motto which was “To build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith a?

Pep Squad Each day under the blistering summer sun a faithful group of girls practiced under the watchful and critical eyes of their leaders; Sue Mayfield. Kathy Stovall. Polly Woodell. and their sponsor Miss Hendrix. If one were very alert, he would notice that the continuous left-left-left-right-left of previous years had been altered to the merrier Yazoo-Yazoo-Yazoo Indians, which was created by one of the more brilliant football managers. These practices were not in vain, however. On each Friday afternoon of a home game, this group, known to all as the pep squad, marched downtown behind the hand in their colorful red and black jumper uni- forms shaking rah-rahs of the same colors. To raise money, the pep squad held a car wash. The results were clean cars and a group of tired girls who had had a lot of fun earning, sixty-four dollars. The duty of the pep squad was fulfilled. The organization added to parades, helped to increase the volume at pep assemblies, and. most important, helped to boost the morale of the high school foot- ball team and student body. 78 support to boost the spirit of our football team and school. Busy as bees, the enthusiastic pepsters gaily bedecked tRe goal posts each Friday afternoon before the football games. Oh. no! Not all the members were enthusiastic! First the Freshmen tried their skill! Ugh! They were followed each week by the Sophomores, Juniors, and then the Seniors. Aside from decorating the field, the fanatical rooters highlighted the school assembly programs, afternoon parades, and the games themselves with spirit and color, producing bigger clangorous screams, thereby adding to the effectiveness of the cheers. Miss Louise Hendrix, as sponsor, gave valuable pointers to the pep squad, taking time to offer con- structive criticism and to help coordinate their plans. “Ya-a-a-a-a,” cheers the pep. squad as the hand plays “Red River Rock. Occupying the first few rows of the auditorium during pep assemblies, the pepsters helped to boost spirit for the football games. “Get in line,” is a frequent phrase heard while the pep squad, in full attire, prepares for the Friday af- ternoon parade. Fight songs, cheers, and an abundance of bed- lam, all showing the tremendous support behind the Indians, invaded the business district of town. FIRST ROW: J. Hammons, G. Miron, P. Stroup, S.

Y-Club President:' Leslie Metcalfe Vice-President: Butch Gary Secretary: Jon Foose Sponsor: Coach Jenkins Sweetheart: Varner Hines The annual Y-CIub initiation igain started with a big bang. First came a car wash which all initiates fully enjoyed. Then the real fun began, with line-up doing such things as kissing, singing, proposing, and shining shoes. Finally came initiation night, the final endeavor which ended with a party for all members as well as initiates. “Get your tickets here,” rang through the hall as the Y-Club boys again sold tickets to their annual dance. This year was no exception; tickets sold like hot cakes. Girls began to wish and dream and the boys, well, they began taking second looks. The boys also added to their funds by selling ballpoint pens. The ingenuity shown by the members was extra- ordinary. One could buy a 25c pen at “one for 50c and get one free.” After earning a varsity letter in one of four major sports, which is required for membership, the boys go through a rough and tumble initiation. The boys not only grow in fitness, but in sportsmanship and friendship. The aim of the Y-Club, which is under the direction of Coach Eulas “Red” Jenkins, was to strengthen good sportsmanship’in the student body through the effort and example of its members. Congratulations and thanks go to the hoys of the Y-Club for their achievement and their contribution to the school. 80 4-H’ers pledged heads, hands, hearts, and health for service.

As a whole, 1963-1964 was a very successful year for the Boys’ 4-H Club and their leader, Mr. Buck Coats, who is associate county agent. Although the club accomplished much as a group, most of the 4-H activities were carried on by individuals. Several members of the club received honors for which they had worked very diligent- ly. The club showed that through hard work, diligent study, and acquired skill, one can deserve and earn honors for w'hich his home, school, and community are proud of him. Thomas Strickland has attained quite a list of honors for his work in the livestock program. He won first place in local competition and fourth place in the state show at Jackson. Here he displays the lamb which won him second place in the District Livestock Show. Jo Ann Coleman brought honor to the local 4-H Club when she was selected Sen- ior Livestock Queen at the banquet. She was crowned by Mary Lee Anderson, the reigning queen. Winning a red ribbon in the Yazoo County Livestock Show, Johnny Ross proudly dis- plays his outstanding Angus Bull. Having participated in 4-H for several years, Johnny has gained many honors through his live- stock and other phases of 4-H work. 81 Hi-Y’s chief aim is to maintain and extend throughout home, Girls’ 4-H Club Jo Goldsmith Secretary Mrs. Lester Sponsor Sally Johnston Treasurer Betty Walker President Linda Carson Vice-President Knit-one; Purl-two. Knitting? Who has time for knitting? Certainly not these busy 4-H’ers led by the home demonstration agent, Mrs. Ollie Jean Lane, and assistant home demonstration agent. Miss Lyles Cannon. The club took an active part in the all- county demonstration and judging contest in March, the 4-H talent contest in April and the home improve- ment contest. The 4-H Club succeeded in “making the best, better.” The Junior-Senior Hi-Y, affiliated with the state YMCA, under the direction of Coach Leslie Clark, participated in the annual Christmas party for the Columbia Training School donating clothes and other gifts to the school. The club also has had informa- tive programs each week given by either the members or guest speakers. In these ways the club fulfilled its purpose to maintain high standards of Christian character.

This club completed many proj- ects. one of which was to clean out the trophy case and polish the trophies until they cast an untarnished shine. Christmas came and the Hi-Y’ers collected money and a box of clothes which were sent to the Columbus Training School. Santa Claus came to two needy families in the form of food and clothing via this group. The Hi-Y club and the Freshman-Sophomore Y- Teens combined their time, talents, and money to give one of the best parties of the year. Part of the entertainment was provided by a VHS combo com- posed of De Graeber, Larry Carter. Everette Beers, Donnie Hollis, and Rae Shannon. FIRST ROW: J. Thrasher, T. Phillips, R. Fulcher, J.

Mixed Chorus Music makers Miss Bernice Gay and Carol Ann Sudduth paused in the midst of choral practice to have their picture made. Accompanied by Carol Ann Sudduth and directed by Miss Bernice Gay, the 1963-64 Yazoo City High School Mixed Chorus met every Monday, Wednes- day, and Friday during the 5th period. The ama- teur choristers gathered in the studio room and gave their vocal chords a real working out. Throughout the nine months of the school year the music stu- dents learned many new objectives of music and renewed their knowledge of what they had already learned. The group worked very hard during the entire year. Their activities included singing in the Thanks- giving assembly program, put on by the Dramatics Club, in which they sang traditional Thanksgiving songs. They also sang in a citv-wide song service at the First Methodist Church. As the jolly season of Christmas approached, the Mixed Chorus pre- pared an excellent Christmas program giving the background of Christmas music and songs to rep- resent the different groups. After Christmas the Mixed Chorus began to prepare for the Spring Festival which they attended in April. At the fes- tival the songsters enjoyed singing and practicing with musicians from all over the state. Through their varied program of music, the vocalists learned to appreciate the art of music by actual participation. 84 through long, hard practices and many successful performances.

Loading for their trip to the coast are these state clinicians, Everette Beers, James Dawes, and Kathy Crowder. Another honor by which Kathy distinguished her- self was membership in the Lions All State Band. To be a chosen participant of this group is one of the highest distinctions which can be bestowed upon an aspiring musician. Band members participating at District Band Clinic at Delta State College were: SEATED: Frances Moore, Marsha Gelman, Sharon King. BACK ROW: Richard Collins, Jerry Davis, Johnny Ross and William Coody. Mr. Raymond Young of the Uni- versity of Southern Mississippi was the guest artist for Yazoo’s first brass clinic.

Beers and assistant director Mr. Donald C. Vaughan. During the fall the band boosted the school spirit at pep rallies with rousing fight songs which always in- cluded the favorite “Red River Rock.” The marching band was ready with a snappy half-time show for every football game at home and away. With the coming of spring, attention was turned to individual performance and concert music. Sixteen stu- dents auditioned for places in the Lions All-State Band which will travel to Canada and New York this sum- mer. In preparation for contest the band gave several concerts which included the high school, Jr. High and stage bands. In state contests the hand received excellent ratings and was complimented on the improvement they had made in the past years. Also receiving excellent ratings were student conductor Richard Collins and Drum Majorette Barbara Kelly. FIRST ROW: Barbara Knott, Karen Clark, Molly Gilbert, Caroline Barbour, Barbara Kelly.

No one at YHS is likely to forget Ginny’s friendly smile and cheerfulness. She radiated pep and school spirit as a football cheerleader—head cheerleader this year—always making the pep assemblies a grand success. But vitality was not all she possessed. She proved her ability at sports as a member of the track and basketball teams. Ginny was elected class favorite her junior year and served as circuit clerk in County Government Day. For four years she was a valuable member of the Yazooan staff, proving her journalistic ability. Versatile, vivacious, tal- ented, and friendly—these traits describe MISS YAZOO HIGH SCHOOL. Tier. y?fs J3es ie JlCetca jfe An active participant in three major sports, Leslie obtained the coveted membership in the Y-Club his junior year. He was selected to be in the National Athletic Scholarship Society for his participation in basketball, football, and track. A favorite among the students and known for his friendly smile and per- sonality, Leslie was selected as a beau in the Who’s Who both this year and last year. Possessing, in addition to his other assets, ability to play a musical instrument, he was a member of the band his freshman year. This popular, talented student has definitely left his indelible mark on YHS.

A day of tradition and much excitement character- ized our homecoming at YHS. The day began at 10:30, October 4, as Queen Mary Lee Anderson was crowned by student body president, Jimmy Elkin. Walking in splendor down the aisles of the auditorium, the Senior maid, Ginny Lee Terrell, escorted by Mer- rill Merkle was presented to the students. The other maids and escorts followed: Sara Beth Pinson with Tommy Raggett, Rosemary Sudduth with Wallace Russell, and Mary Ann Pinson with Jim Simmons. Spritely Mary Lee Anderson, “Queen” of our day, epitomizes the feeling all Yazooans have at homecoming. The royal court made their appearance in sparkling convertibles and encircled the field to greet the crowd. At half time, in an impressive ceremony, they were presented the traditional gold footballs and yellow chrysanthemums by the cheerleaders. To end the brilliant spectacle, the students saluted their school with the Alma Mater and gained a victory over Cen- tral. The alternate maids were Varner Hines, Clara Dean Russell, Polly Woodell, and Jo Ann Coleman. 99 SEATED: Carol Davis, Lucy Shackleford, Tish Rainer, Frances Cooper, Judy Waaser, Susan Brigham, Elaine Roark, Richard Murphy, Betty Petermann, Jane Beale, Malinda Houston. STANDING: Susie Nicholas, Griffin Norquist, Carolyn Quin, Mary Lee Anderson, Sue Mayfield, Sally Roberts, Caroline Barbour, Kathy Crowder, Clara Dean Russell. Girls’ and Boys’ Staters “Forward forever, backward never, within our- selves our future lies.” These wise words, the motto of the American Legion Auxiliary Girls’ State, in- spired our Yazoo City High School delegates to par- ticipate in the 1964 summer session. Our two hoy representatives who participated in Boys’ state en- joyed equal privileges. Both “States” were informed as to the governmental practices and enjoyed a fun- filled week at Belhaven College and Hinds Junior College. Merit Scholarship Finalists Perseverance and initiative were only two of the traits that marked the National Merit Finalists. Bob Lester and Everette Beers. Both were recently tapped for Quill and Scroll and were two-year members of the National Honor Society. Everette, a member of Lions All-State last year, was the most Valuable hand student of 1963-64. Bob was also a talented hand student as well as a member of the National Athletic Scholarship So- ciety. 100 Boh Lester Everette Beers September December March Varner Hines Jimmy Elkin October Everette Beers Macy Satterfield Ginny Lee Terrell Bob Sherling January Mike Highbaugh Elizabeth Cooper Carol Sudduth Tommy Teaster April Gerald Moses Laurie Thompson November Barbara Kelly Bob Lester February Juanita West Leslie Metcalfe Rotary Guests Each month of the 1963-196-1 school year, two outstanding seniors were selected by the faculty to be Rotary Guests. These students attended the meetings of the Rotary Club each Wednesday of that month and enjoyed delicious lunches and excellent programs—both educational and en- tertaining, as well as fellowship with the businessmen of the town. Several times during the year the Rotarians were entertained by choral groups of the'high school. By being guest, the seniors gained first-hand information about the worthwhile projects sponsored by the Rotary Club and came to realize the importance of such an organ- ized group to the community.

National Honor Society On March 27, the long awaited assembly which brought honor and excitement to the initiates finally came. The Honor Society tapped «even juniors and eleven seniors for membership. It also includes seven 1963 members who handled this year’s program. The National Honor Society is designed to initiate new and greater ambitions in young aspiring students. To be selected is an honor, a privilege and a challenge. In order to become a member one must possess the qualities of leadership, scholarship, character and serv- ice. The possession of only one of these qualities does not qualify a student for membership, for he must possess all of these traits. The 1963 members conducted this year's initiation. Elizabeth Cooper served as narrator with Bob Lester, Macy Satterfield. Everette Beers and Ginny Lee Ter- rell outlining the qualities needed for membership. Mrs. Laura Alice Spell provided the background music as Mr. Kelly announced the new members. Following the presentation of pins, Mr. Herman DeCell presented the challenge to the student body. The program came to an end as the students and members sang the Alma Mater. 103 FIRST ROW: Leslie Metcalfe, Obie McClure, Haley Barbour, Jimmy Rogers, Merrill Merkle, Butch Gary.

THIRD ROW: Boh Sherling, Buzz Morrow, Matthew Smith, Gerald Moses, Vincent Jesse, Tommy Teaster, Mike Highbaugh. National Athletic Sholarship Society To be a member of the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society, boys must exhibit high qualities of scholarship, citizenship, and most of all, sportsman- ship. This honor is one of the highest that can be bestowed on a junior or senior athlete. To be chosen for membership, boys must have displayed outstanding progress in one or more of the four major sports. Being the possessor of a letter alone does not entitle one to membership in the society, but he must also be in the upper one third of his class. This honor, awarded on recognition day, is one of high merit and is set up to encourage stronger and more willing efforts in all phases of athletic competition. When a young athlete is selected for membership, he is expected to strive even more to create higher standards. 1963 MEMBERS Tommy Teaster Leslie Metcalfe Gerald Moses Butch Gary Bob Sherling 1964 MEMBERS Mike Highbaugh Obie McClure Haley Barbour Jimmy Rogers Merrill Merkle Johnny Fraiser Lonnie Graeber Perrin Ferris Larry Chilton Bob Lester Richard Murphy- Buzz Morrow Matthew Smith Vincent Jesse 104 Cheerleaders 1963-64 Varsity Ginny Terrell Beth Bagwell Mary Lee Anderson Susie Nicholas Clara Dean Russell Sally Roberts Elizabeth Cooper Head Cheerleaders Elizabeth Cooper Ginny Terrell Cheers . . . thrills . . . challenges and strong wills.

This year B-Team cheerleaders were added to our squad of spirit boosters. These energetic misses assisted the varsity in promoting school spirit and good sportsmanship.

To most it was a disappointing season, full of frustration and effort given in vain. Among this group would be numbered the Indian team. Although the boys were full of fight and fortitude, the Yazoo attack just never quite came up to what every- one thought it was capable of being. Certainly nothing can be taken from these young men who tried so hard to do so much. The boys began running in the middle of the sum- mer to prepare for that hot starting date of August 15. Practicing twice a day for two weeks, the Indians got ready for the opening game. 106 The Red Men eagerly prepared for the first whistle of each game. Trainers Jon Foose and David Hatchett display their first-aid know-how on two injured players. Their serv- ices were necessary for keeping players in superior condition. Jimmy Smith asserts his authority over Sophomore man- agers, Tommy Everrett and James Berberettz. This trio was a great asset to the 1963 Indian squad. Season Summary First of all. the Redmen met a highly regarded group of Provine Rams on September 6. The boys showed a lot of fight and spirit, but there were just too many goats. Yazoo fell 21-6. After a long hard open week, the Indians hosted the Clarksdale-Cahoma Wildcats on the twentieth. Sparkling on both offense and defense, the home- town gang showed fans just exactly how they should play. A 23-7 victory' was happily recorded in Yazoo City gridiron annals of 1963. The ensuing week saw the local team travel to the capital city to combat the Murrah Mustangs. Someone, however, had left the corral gate open because the fired-up mules were stampeding that night. When the dust had cleared, a 21-0 mistake riddled defeat haunted citizens of the Gateway to the Delta. “Vengeance is ours” saith the tribe and certain- ly it was theirs on the first Friday in October. The big Red met Jackson Central with its mind on get- ting even with the big city boys. After an offensive show, the Tigers fell by a score of 26-19. On October 11, the Indians journeyed into Le- Flore County to battle the Bulldogs of Greenwood High. Seemingly inspired, the Redmen could do no wrong. Scoring in various and sundry ways, the visitors piled up a 42-12 score over the mongrels for the only road victory of the season. Yazoo rolled into Vicksburg on October 18, with blood in its eye. The homestanding Greenies were assaulted by all forms of Indian attacks but re- pelled the tribe when the delta boys’ own miscues caused the termination of five Indian drives. Vicks- burg won 20-14. In losing the game Yazoo City also lost the services of All-State quarterback, Gerald Moses, via a knee injury. The entire squad looks on with great eagerness as the referee prepares to toss the coin. 107 Hard tackling and crisp blocking highlighted Indian efforts, Gerald Moses eludes a Wildcat by flipping the “pigskin” to Obie McClure who out maneuvers the opponents. Vincent Jesse and Boh Sherling quickly move in to put the quietus on a lynx halfback. Greenville, number three in the state, paid a visit to Coach Jenkins and his boys on the first day of November. Ready and able, the local team met the river boys on equal terms for three quarters. The Hornets picked up two later touchdowns to give them a 20-7 victory, but as they rode home that night, they were well aware of a hard-knocking, fiery little bunch of football players that lived about sixty- miles south of them. Following a long trip into the Pontotoc Ridge country, the Indians clashed with Columbus’ Stephen D. Lee High Generals. In the opening half Yazoo scored first and then let the Generals pick up two easy touchdowns by means of poor play. The second half was highlighted by vicious defense by each team. Sounding pads and upset ball carriers seemed to be the order of the day, as neither offense could do any- thing. The Red and Black fell that night by a score of 12-6, however, they really put up a fight before they left. The Smudge pot flares up—Haley Barbour and the rest of the Indians seem rather upset at the referee’s decision, hut it didn't help as the official decided to call it his way just the same. 108 But erratic play and mental mistakes cost the tribe many games. Yazoo City came upon a sad situation on November 18. Unable to do anything right, the tribe just gave Canton a 34-7 victory. The Panthers seemed to pull out touchdowns as a magician pulls rabbits from his favorite top hat. No need for excuses, the black tigers were just the superior outfit that night. To the casual, uninformed reader the fore-mentioned summary of the 1963 season would seem that of a medi- ocre football team. To those who followed the Indians closely, the real picture is reflected by the close games they saw played and regenerated in these writings. The 1963 edition of the grid team was a never-say-die bunch that played on equal terms with all but two teams. While they themselves did not possess the physi- cal ability of many opponents, no excuses are offered by this rugged bunch of individuals who played their hearts out for their Alma Mater. Remember, there is no place on the score board to show determination. Gerald Moses rolls out with one thought only—Hit that receiver! Herlan Ray Heidel mauls a fleet “Ram in a determined effort to stop Provine’s advance toward Yazoo’s double stripe. 109 Events after a losing season showed the spirit of Yazooans. Although Gerald Moses was injured and didn’t get to finish the season, he was chosen by his teammates to receive the Most Valuable Player award. This award is often thought to be the greatest honor a team member can earn. Gerald’s ability to perform was recognized by the squad even more so after he was sidelined because of a knee injury. Gerald was also chosen for All-Big-8 honors and as a member of the All-State Team. Butch Gary, a somewhat small athlete, was truly a great asset to the 1963 Indian squad. He was selected by the coaching staff to receive the first Fred Rand Sportsmanship award. He earned this honor as a result of his untiring efforts to produce a sportsmanlike at- titude on and off the field, both in practice and during games. Butch's conduct was one to be envied by all who participate in any sort of sports. That long awaited day finally arrived— the day the football players received their jackets and sweaters rewarding them for a job well done. Coach Jenkins called the team to his office and explained to them that all missing equipment must be re- turned to him first. When this task was completed he presented the lettermen with their monogrammed jackets and sweaters. At last these boys could proudly display the letter of their Alma Mater. The team's Best Blocker and Tackier is chosen by the squad itself. Leslie Metcalfe was chosen to receive this award. Leslie demonstrated his block and tackling abili- ties in each of the games and every day at practice. The team votes on this award because they are the ones who have the daily contact with one another: thereby better qualifying them to make a wise decision. Leslie’s abilities were also recognized by the sportscasters, being selected as hpnorable mention on its All-Big-8 team. The Most Improved Player award is a relatively new honor. The recipient is selected by the Coaching Staff. The coaches review game films and compare player’s ac- tions of past years to those of the present season. After many days of watching the films the coaches began to compare notes and eliminate potential players. When the final elimination was completed Vincent Jesse had been unanimously chosen for the honor. The names of trophy winners were kept secret and later announced at the annual Touchdown Club Banquet. NO Wait ’til next year, there’ll be a lot of Indians returning.

B-Team SCHEDULE YAZOO OPPONENT 21 Greenville 7 14 Provine 20 No matter how much potential a team has, it can do nothing without practice. The “scrubs” or B-team members are the ones who take the knocks and bruises giving the Varsity line dummies and open field running practice. Besides the training gained in practice sessions, the Junior Varsity also gains game experience in exciting B-team encounters. This experience will prove to be a valuable asset to a somewhat yoking team next year. Although the paramount strength of the Indians lay in their Varsity, the team could not properly co-ordinate the fundamentals of football, including running, block- ing, and tackling, without the valuable help of the Jun- ior Varsity. Under the direction of coaches Jerry Brown and Leslie Clark, the team posted a fair season. They played only two games winning the first and losing the second. For the first game they travelled to Greenville and romped them 21-7. Then back to the homefront where they suffered a 20-14 defeat to Provine. Sophomore quarterback Ray Heidel demonstrates a few of his eye-catching maneuvers that enabled him to be- come one of the B-team’s most efficient ground gainers.

Basketball Having returned with little experience, the varsity basketball squad under the head mentor, Ed Castles, finished a stepped up season of rebuilding. Because a large percentage of underclassmen made up the under- sized team, the cagers lacked poise and background. However, the experience gained by underclassmen was invaluable. The Indians did find glory when they brought home the runner-up trophy of the Belzoni Invitational Tourna- ment. They easily defeated Rolling Fork and Isola to gain berth in the finals with Inverness whose boys were much larger. The team was very aggressive; however, the game was won by Inverness in the closing minutes. Twro redmen. Gary Brown and Gerald Moses, made the All-Tournament team. The five boys who formed the nucleus of the team were Gerald Moses. Johnny Fraiser. Tommy Teaster, Gary Brown, and John North. They were backed by seniors Bob Lester. Frank Holifield. Mike Highbaugh; Juniors Lonnie Graeber. Bill Mashburn. Colin Campbell, and Sophomores David Roberts and Ray Heidel. The experience gained from this season should prove a great asset to next year’s team. 1963-1964 RECORD Yazoo 50 Benton 56 Yazoo 64 Holly Bluff 45 Yazoo 89 Belzoni 59 Yazoo 17 Forest Hill 80 Yazoo 40 Central 105 Yazoo 59 Rolling Fork 41 Yazoo 50 Vicksburg 67 Yazoo 53 Greenville 59 Yazoo 55 Greenwood 51 Yazoo 39 Belzoni 34 Yazoo 44 Vicksburg 53 Yazoo 46 Central 76 55 74 Yazoo 52 Greenville 58 Yazoo 36 Murrah 63 Yazoo 51 Holly Bluff 44 Yazoo 45 Murrah 48 Yazoo ... 57 Benton 39 Yazoo 50 Columbus 67 Yazoo 35 Vicksburg 54 112 Nine cage letter men highlighted nine wins and fourteen losses.

Under the guidance of Leslie Clark, the Indians beat some fine teams but they lost a few close ones in the last few minutes that could have gone either way. As a whole, the Indians were big, strong rebounders, and showed great hustle and spirit throughout the season! The main purpose of any B-teani is to give experience to a young boy who has the potential of becoming a varsity starter. These boys gave the varsity players “a run for their posi- tion” and sometimes were called to fill in on the varsity squad. This scrappy team was led by Ray Heidel.

Backing up the team were Connie Wyldmon, Lois Boutwell, Cheryl Johnston, Betty Joe Mood. Betty Jane Kellum, and Clara Dean Russell. The Captain for this year was Deen Barrier and the Co-Captain was Elizabeth Cooper. They were selected by their teammates by secret ballot. These two girls showed outstanding skill and initiative.

Beginning its third year, the golf team, coached by Boh Tower)', had five returning lettermen. Six new members were added to round out an eleven man team. In early April the golf team began preparing for the first of three big matches. These included the Hornets of Greenville and the Clarksdale Wildcats. Yazoo came out favorably in the match finishing a strong second in both A and B divisions. In the return match with the Hornets the Indians handed the Greenville boys a sound defeat with Lonnie Graeber?s score of 76 lowest for the day. On May first the Indians were off to Meridian for the highlight of the season, the Big-8 Tournament. Play consisted of two eighteen-hole rounds. Yazoo finished a strong seventh and again for the second year, fifth in the North Big-8. The Indians showed a marked im- provement over the previous year by over 20 strokes. Ben Darby had the lowest tournament score in Yazoo golf history with a fine 74. Next year the team will return with six lettermen to begin a fourth season of keen competition. “Blow real hard now, Charles!” says Mike Highbaugh in a slightly desperate tone, as he determines to sink that putt. 117 Castle and Brown work hard as players demonstrate fine ability.

SECOND ROW: Charles Ford, Ray Hcidel, Gerald Moses, Tommy Teaster, Greg Horne, Haley Barbour, and Coach Castles. Baseball Under the coaching of Ed Castles, the 1964 baseball season was one of the best had at Yazoo in quite some time. With only a few boys out this year, the Indians showed much hustle and spirit on and off the field. Although they were knocked out of district contention early in the season, they helped to decide the district king by knocking off Murrah and Provine in key games for the Jacksonians. The Indians finished fourth in the district with four wins and six losses, but closed out the 1961 campaign with seven wins and six losses, their first overall winning season in four years. Husky Gerald Mores won the batting crown this year with a sizzling .490 batting average which included five home runs. The Indians will return to the diamond next year with nine lettermen. Haley Barbour and Carnis Kelly will head the mound corp and will be backed by Larry Mobley and Ray Heidel who helped Moses with the “stick” with a hot batting average of .361 and .343 re- spectively.

Pitching usually determines how good a team is and how far it will go in competition. This year’s mound staff, shown here with Coach Castles, was composed of right- handers Haley Barbour and Tommy Teaster and lefthand- ers Carnis Kelly and Charlie Ford. Three of these players will return and give Yazoo Gty a solid pitching staff. Catching, which was done this year by Gerald Moses, is a very essential part of a baseball team. Here Gerald is about to receive a pitch from hurler Carnis Kelly in the Murrah game which the Indians won 10-4. The Great American Game He’s Out! Third baseman Tommy Teaster receives a strong throw from Leslie Met- calfe and puts the tag on a Murrah runner trying to advance from first on a single to right. This type of defense defeated Murrah in a home game for the Indians. 119 Despite Herculean efforts, lack of team depth proved to be FIRST ROW: Manager James Berberette, Merrill Merkle, John Evans, George Brooks, Pete Cook, Dimpsey Ladner, Manager Tommy Everett.

Dennis Melton receives the baton from Obie McClure in the relays. Jimmy Rogers gets ready for “Takeoff” in the 220-yard dash. Sophomore Ray Heidel, one of the State’s best low and high hurdlers, glides over the low hurdJes. Coach E. S. Jenkins gives Jeffrey Smith, a freshman, a few key points for the 100-yard dash. 121 Sports enthusiasts joined in intramural action during months Intramurals The Vice-President of the Student Council, Haley Barbour, who supervised all games, initiated the intramurals early in October with touch football first on the agenda. The bracketing was determined by the drawing of class opponents by the respective homeroom presidents. There were many exciting games during the two month session, but Hunt sur- vived many excruciating battles to become over-all champions in touch football. The cooperation be- tween the Student Council and the students re- sulted in a great success. The hard won victories for some homerooms dur- ing the keen competition of intramurals was a real test of skill and initiative on the part of everyone who played and watched. Senior boys exercise skill and abilities in the annual football competition. Hunt’s homeroom of senior boys captured the football championship by defeating all the other homerooms. Sophomores and juniors battle it out in a great game on the basketball court. Richardson won the crown after upsetting Mrs. Smith’s homeroom. With the coming of cold and rainy winter, intra- murals shifted to the indoor sports. The next sport on the agenda saw Hester’s Hessians copping the championship. Boys basketball games were most exciting, however, when played between the Sopho- mores and Juniors. Richardson’s agile team be- came champions after defeating Ladner’s eager beavers in the finals. The boys volleyball tournament followed the boys basketball as the girls voted not to participate in this sport. Every game was a decisive battle between the determined teams of each homeroom, but Smith’s Sharpies were victorious in the tournament. For use in all games the participants wore jerseys furnished by the school, so that the referees could distinguish the opposing teams. 122 of heated competition in Football, Basketball and Volleyball. A large part of athletic activity was carried on behind the scene of action. Without the invaluable collaboration of Haley Barbour and the willing and competent referees, these games would not have been such a success. These people worked very diligently on a volunteer basis and deserved the praise of every student. As one must realize, it is impossible to carry on the intramurals without the assistance of cap- able and experienced referees. The student referees this year were excellent and proved their compet- ence in their unbiased rulings. Among the qualified boys who assisted were Tommy Teaster. Haley Bar- bour. Johnny Fraiser. Colin Campbell and John North. To be a qualified referee, one must either play basketball, football or other sports involved, or have had some experience with them in some form or another. Competition among the girls in basketball was most exciting. Al- most every girl took part and some very exciting games were played. Because each homeroom gave support to its team, much enthusiasm was aroused during the intramural competition. A large crowd of spectators arrived in the gymnasium every day at 12:25 to give its support to respective homerooms. With so much screaming and cheering for the teams, some- times the players really got going and played “harder” than they could. But these games, one of the largest highlights of our school year, were enjoyed by spectators consisting not only of students but faculty mem- bers, too. As an extra added attraction, the new members of the Y-Club led cheers for the participating teams during their week of initiation. What is the praise one gets for entering into these activities and winning? Why, Gold trophies, of course! On recognition day, when others are recognized for their accomplishments, each winning homeroom accepts a beautiful gold trophy. 123 In Memoriam Quietly and humbly two men found their places in the hearts of those who knew them. Now, removed in the prime of their lives, they leave to each of us an example of Christian character and sincere friendliness to be long remembered. We, the stu- dents of Yazoo City High School, cherish the memories of two departed companions. George Wesley Johnston Joseph Ellett Martin 124 Junior Hi ok 125 MR. CRUIT R.

Under the coaching of Sammy Howard and Ed Castles, the team reported to practice in late August. The heat, at times almost unbearable, did not affect the team’s spirit, morale, or determination. The Warriors opened the season with a 27-0 win over Culkin. hut the next week they returned fiery and spirited only to be defeated 13-0 by Vicksburg. This unsuspected defeat did not upset this determined and talented team, and they climaxed the season with four straight victories of identical scores. The season proved to be a very rewarding experience for both Coach Howard and Coach Castles, since it was their first year in the Yazoo City Athletic program. 145 Boys and girls displayed skill and initiative, learning early FIRST ROW: Lexie Nelson, Kathy Coleman, Susan Powell.
