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
