Mr. Richardson, touched by the warm admiration pro- jected to him by the student body, walked slowly to the stage for his well deserved recognition. 'I only wish 1 deserved this honor,” was Mr. Richardson's reply. Indeed he did deserve it, because he gave his classes an atmosphere of Fun in Learning.” He led discussions in which students learned and thought without realizing the value of what they learned. Al- though underclassmen ran past his classroom in ter- ror. Mr. Richardson won the dedication of all his stu- dents because he himself was dedicated. Give up. Mr. Richardson. Chris will kirk (hat pipe again tomorrow anyway. But Mr. Richardson. 1 don’t deserve this. I’m your most obedient student. Mr. Richardson taught phvsics and chemistry by experiments and thought provoking questions. 3 Foreword During four years at i HS, fond memories are captured and multiplied for hun- dreds of students. There are many activities that are enjoyable and rewarding — the finer things of high school life. The serious sides of high school life are the hours of tedious studying and the determination to reach that special goal. The ball games, dances, and parties are typical of the lighter side of school life. The 1968 Mingo Chito Staff wishes to leave a book of memories for the students at YHS. We hope that this Mingo Chito will be a memorial that you will treasure all of vour life. Table of Contents Mind Spirit Lilt' 108 School Board Displays Superior Guidance for YHS The Yazoo City school board meets monthly to discuss school problems and to formulate school policies. The mem- bers of the board strive to maintain ex- cellence at Yazoo Gty High School, as well as the other city schools, by care- fully examining school needs and by se- lecting capable faculty members. Any problem is duly weighed and consid- ered before a decision is reached. This kind of patience has paid off in better school functioning. Because of the time that they unselfishly give and for their concern for the welfare of the student, the school board renders an invaluable service for which we are deeply grate- ful. President John Holmes confers with the school administration regarding policies of the board. 16 Superintendent Kelly Ably Directs Yazoo Schools The public schools of Yazoo City are ably directed by Superintendent Harold C. Kelly. Known and respected by students as well as the other citizens of the community, Mr. Kelly has the leadership, intelligence, and sense of humor needed in a good super- intendent. and then the traveling salesman said to the farmer’s daughter . . .

Jenkins Draws Respect and Achieves Success at YHS Taking the reins of Yazoo Gty High School into his able hands, Mr. Euias S. Jenkins provided the leadership needed after the tragic death of Mr. Cruit R. Bucklev, for- mer principal. Mr. Jenkins re- ceived his B.S. and M.A. from the University of Mississippi and did additional graduate work at Missis- sippi College. He had served Yazoo Gty High School as teacher, coach, and assistant principal before his appointment as principal. Known affectionately as Coach,” Mr. Jenkins showed his adT“ ab:li, 'n,nanV ac,',s of “ho� 1 leadership. He listened willingly and fairly to student problems and worked hard for the addition of more senior privileges. Mr. Jenkins maintained a firmness of discipline but with the right approach. Because of his outstanding ability, fairness, and lively sense of humor, he gained both the admira- tion and respect of students and teachers. It s impossible . Richardson can’t have 67 per cent failures, templates Coach Jenkins.

Able Administrators Guide Present and Future Miss Hattie Richardson, Supervisor of Instruction, has greatly improved Yazoo City schools by adminis- trating forward-thinking programs. By observing teachers in actual classroom instruction. Miss Rich- ardson has brought a level of excellence to education. Her work has also improved the efficiency of each Yazoo City school. As guidance counselor, Mr. Sabin Rush keeps up with student records and each year helps students to plan their courses for the next year. Mr. Rush especial- ly assists college-bound students, ever ready with good advice and ACT forms. His friendly manner and con- cern for each student have made him an appreciated and respected member of the administration. Dr. Linfield Miller, Coordinator of Curriculum, plans subjects to be included in courses of study at YHS and the other city schools. With the purpose of including the interests and preparation of each student as well as meeting certain standards, he schedules a well-rounded educational program. Dr. Miller constantly visits the city schools in accordance with his work, thus rendering an invaluable service. Now, 1 think you’ll find college is a tremendous thing,” says Coach Rush to Don and Barbara. I Secretaries Play an Essential Role The secretaries at YHS are the behind-the-scenes workers who are indispensable to the efficient run- ning of the school. Working closely with school ad- ministrators are Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Cap- erton, Mrs. Broocks, and Mrs. Smith. These ladies do an enormous amount of paper work and handle nu- merous phone calls each day. Keeping books for the high school is another task with which they are faced. Miscellaneous work includes writing receipts and checking individuals listed on the daily absentee slips. The students, administration and faculty real- ize their tremendous service and are trulv aware of their priceless aid. I m almost up to forty words a minute!” gloats Mrs. Brooks to herself. Hello! Joe's Pool Hall. Eight-ball speaking.” 20 Staffs Aid in Running School Efficiently MRS. H. C. HARRSTON: Supervisor of City School Cafeterias. MR. O. C. SHANNON: Maintenance Supervisor. YHS efficient janitorial staff: (left to right) Elizabeth Gibbs. DeWitt Collins, Silvia Jefferv. I. V. Collins. With the responsibility of feeding over a hundred hungry students each day, the cafeteria staff has quite a job. Mrs. Rosa Harrison and Mrs. Taylor Mobley prepare a well-balanced meal for the students. Every week, appetizing menus are carefully selected and posted in each homeroom. The YHS cafeteria comes under the supervision of Mrs. H. G. Harrston, Super- visor of the city school cafeterias. The janitorial staff of YHS is composed of DeWitt and I. V. Collins, Silvia R. Jeffery, and Elizabeth Gibbs. They are responsible for clearing the campus of litter and keeping the classrooms neat and tidy. Dur- ing holidays the staff devotes much of their time to waxing floors and various other special jobs before the students return. Mr. 0. C. Shannon, who serves as maintenance su- pervisor, checks out all mechanical apparatus and gen- eral machinery on campus, making sure thev are in top working condition.

MISS CAROLYN SCREWS: English; Sponsor, Fresh man-Sophomore Dramatics Club; B.A.. Mississippi College. MR. VERNON SIKES: English and Spanish; Sponsor, Mingo Chito; B.A., Mississippi College. From the first attempts at simple sounds to garbled phrases to complete sentences, a child grows into a world in which he must be able to communicate. Realizing the need for this ability to communicate, YHS pro- vides three languages: English, Latin, and Spanish. Four years of English are required for graduation, since English is the mother tongue of most Americans as well as one of the world’s most widely used languages. Grammar, spelling, and literature are stud- ied to enable students to speak and write well and to give them an appreciation of great literary works. Latin, which is the basis of English and all the Romance languages, shows the deri- vation of our language from it. A study of ancient civilization goes along with the lan- guage study, and Publius” and Furi- anus” become old friends. Each year the students are required to make a Latin proj- ect. Because so many of the Latin American countries are Spanish-speaking, YHS offers this language. The textbooks used are en- tirely in Spanish and students find it en- lightening to discover the differences be- tween English and Spanish. A great deal of time is spent studying the cultures of the Spanish-speaking countries.

MRS. HARRIET DECELL: American History; Sponsor, Debate Team; B.A., University of Mis- sissippi. MRS. JO ANN PRICHARD: American Literature; Sponsor. YAZOOAN; B.A., University of Mississippi. Early one morning in Septem- ber 1967, approximately fifty bright-eyed juniors walked into their first session of a most unusual class, which combined American history and literature. TTiis Ameri- can Studies class, better known as Team Teaching or kindergarten,” was the brain child of Mrs. Harriet DeCell and Mrs. Jo Ann Prichard. The cafeteria turned classroom really resembled a kindergarten with its brightly painted book shelves and pop art posters. Stu- dents soon found, however, that the work was no joke, but their extra efforts were rewarding. Classes were stimulating experi- ences as well as fun. Mrs. DeCell and Mrs. Prichard must be commended as innovators in education. Their baby” was one of the few classes of its kind anywhere and the only one of its kind in Mississippi. Its importance is attested by the fact that the De- partment of Education of the Uni- versity of Southern Mississippi made a film of it. OK rats. I can’t write two themes, do a presidents chart, and finish a term paper in one night,” sighs Kathy Lee. 24 MRS. MISSY WILLIAMS: American Government, Economics; Sponsor, Jr.-Sr. Y-Teens; B.A.. Blue Mountain (College. History Re-examines Past and Looks to Future Learning from the past to avoid future mistakes and to improve on previous civilizations is the objective of studying history. Realizing that the past itself is a good teacher, YHS offers three history courses. These are Mississippi history, American history, and world his- tory. Of these, American and Mississippi history are required for graduation. iiisiory anu government go hand in hand. YHS re- quires the study of both state government and Ameri- can government. Each year selected students have the privilege of applying their knowledge at Girls’ State, Bovs’ State, and Youth Congress, There they partici- pate in campaigns and mock elections and gain a real insight into our American political system and heri- tage. These activities are valuable experiences which the participants will never forget and which will en- courage them to become better citizens. Each social studies course at YHS also prepares students to better accept their responsibilities as Mississippians and Americans. Okay, Chris,” growls Mr. Box. Discoveries in Science Lead MISS KA1HERINE CHESTEEN: Biology: B.S.E� !., Mississippi College. MRS. LAURA KEALHOFER: Home Economics; Sponsor, FHA; B.S., MSCW. MR. GEORGE RICHARDSON: Chemistry, Physics, Senior Science; Sponsor, JETTS; B.A., M.A., University of Mississippi. It is said that what man has learned in the last ten to twenty-five years is equal to all previous knowledge. This is particularly true of science. TTie present stan- dard of living is due greatly to the advancements made in this area. General science is usually studied as an introducto- ry course at YHS. Most sophomores take biology in which they explore plant and animal life. In this course students dissect and do microscopic work and make collections of leaves, insects, and flowers. In chemistry students are introduced to sub-atomic par- ticles, valences, and compounds. Group laboratory ex- periments are a highlight of classes. Venturing into physics, students discover the why of motion and ener- gy by learning and applying mathematical laws. 'Hiree phases of home economics train future homemakers in cooking, nutrition, sewing, and creativity. Oooh, Mr. Richardson! 'Dial stuff smells nasty.” says Debbie Hill in a high shrill voice. 26 to a Better World 27 Mathematics Department Encourages Accuracy MR. KENNETH W. BUCKLEY Algebra II, Advanced Math; Sponsor. Math Club: B.S., M.S., University of South- ern Mississippi. MRS. LOUISE CLARK Unified Geometry, Algebra I; Sponsor. Pep Squad; B.A.. Long wood College. MRS. LINDA FAROANE Basic Math. Algebra I; B.S.. MSCW. MRS. Rt TH WATSON Algebra I; B.S., Millsaps College. Now, Jimmy, copying the answers out of the back of the book is not satisfactory, ' reprimands Mrs. Watson. The courses offered in mathematics at YHS range from Basic Math I to Advanced Math, a course which combines trigonome- try and analytical geometry. As the students struggle through the unlimited mysteries solved by numbers, they seem to realize the importance of this subject in everyday life. Math will not only prepare them for the problems of life, but it will also help them to reason better and improve modem civiliza- tion. At YHS the mathematics department provides strong foundations in the careers of our modern world. 28 Mr. Buckley patiently explains logarithms to his advanced math students. Commercial Department Inspires Future Business People MISS MARGARET ANN K1NCADE: Shorthand, Typing. Secretarial Train- ing; B.S.. Delta State College. MISS SHIRLEY REYNOLDS: Bu i ness English. Business Training. Book- keeping. Typing; B.S.. Mississippi State College for Women. All right. Benny. This is the paper. You type on it,’ explains Miss Reyn- olds. Miss Kincade, I told you to give me an A,” kids Charles Jaekson. The commercial department at YHS is one of the most important phases of school life. It teaches the essentials needed by each student who plans to enter the business world. Skills such as typing are helpful to all students, especially those college-bound. All students will find themselves in some sort of business transaction at some time or another. Typing is probably the most widely-taken commercial subject. Sluggish fingers be- come nimble as students progress from mas- tering the keyboard to typing business let- ters. By the end of the year each student must have a speed of forty words per minute to pass. Other commercial courses such as secre- tarial training and business training prepare students for future jobs by drilling them in correct spelling and mathematics. Short- hand teaches students to take dictation quickly and correctly. For both the future business leader and the average student, our commercial department has much to offer. 29 MR. JAMES BROWN: Distributive Educa- tion. Diversified Occupation; Sponsor, DECA Club; B.A.. Delta State College; Graduate Work, University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University. MR. WILLIAM LARRY SUMMERS: Me- chanical Drawing. Woodworking; B.S., Mis- sissippi State University. Mr. Brown explains marketing principles to his DE class. D.O. Combines Classes With Job Training A practical vocational curriculum is provided in the Diversified Occupations Department for the manv students who plan to enter into some trade or indus- trial occupation immediately after gradu- ation from high school. Enrollment is of- fered to juniors and seniors. In this pro- gram the students attend classes in the morning and have supervised work expe- riences in the afternoon. There are two major divisions within this cooperative program. The Trade and Industrial portion prepares students for technical skills while the Distributive Education portion produces marketing and sales personnel. The students receive experience in their work during week- ends and holidays. 30 Don’t throw pennies, Bublia. Throw nickels,” admonishes Mr. Summers. P.E. and D.E. Teach Skills and Sportsmanship MR. JOHN E. EDMONDS: Physical Educa- tion, Coach; B.S., M.S., University of Missis- sippi. MR. SAM HOWARD: Driver’s Education. Social Studies I; B.S., University of Alabama. Changing a tire is only one of the ordeals driver’s ed students go through. Linda Gentry demonstrates as Coach Howard watches. One of the major aims of Driver’s Education is to learn how to prevent automobile accidents. Bringing newspaper write-ups of accidents to class keeps stu- dents busy at first. They learn practical driving rules and regulations, and then each student is given the op- portunity to operate a school-owned driver’s education car. Various skills such as parallel parking and chang- ing a flat tire are practiced until mastered. Satisfactory work is signified at the end of the course by the covet- ed driver’s ed card. Teaching the way of a good sportsman and furnish- ing students with healthful activity is the goal of phvsi- cal education classes, taught by Coach El Edmonds and Mrs. Suzanne Edmonds. Students participated in various sports such as baseball, basketball, and volley- ball, and the girls learned square dancing. Health classes were attended once a week by all P.E. stu- dents. Uh, Nancv, don't you think you need a bat?” asks Mrs. Edmonds. 31 Music Provides Universal Language MR. STANLEY C. BEERS Band Director; B.A., Hendrix College MR. DONALD VAUGHAN Assistant Band Director, Stage Band; B.M.Ed., University of Mis- sissippi MRS. NELL PHILLIPS Choral Director; B.M.Ed.. Delta State College Yazoo City High School has two organizations for musically minded students. Tlie band, directed by Mr. Stanley Beers and Mr. Donald Vaughan, in- cludes the marching, concert, and stage bands. Try- outs for Lions’ All-State Band, selection for band clinics, and the desire for better ratings at band con- tests motivated band members to excellence. At the 1968 State Band Contest, the band won two superior ratings and one excellent. Competitions for chair placements were rewarding experiences for all band members. The Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Nell Phillips, provides vocal expression for gifted students. The Mixed Chorus participated in the Dis- trict Choral Festival, and six members went to the State Choral Festival. Concerts and practice sessions completed a busy year. All right, sing out, sopranos!” urges Mrs. Phillips. Oh. come off it, Donald.” says Mr. Beers. The kids can’t do a two-and-a-half pivot on one foot.” CT — MRS. MARY EMMA SMITH Librarian; B.A.. Mississippi State College for Women; M.S., Louisi- ana State University. The renter of the school’s academic activity, the library, provides books, tapes, records, films, maga- zines, and vertical file material for both student and teacher. Mrs. Smith coordinates this large amount of material as well as disciplining unruly students. In addition to her regular duties, each year Mrs. Smith instructs freshmen in a course of library science. Stu- dent librarians help carry out the work of assisting students. ’Shhh. class.

We learned of unforeseen complications that accompany the senior year — magazine sales, sen- ior privileges also shared by under- classmen. and A Tale Of Two Cities. Through that last year, we smiled and cried through pep rallies, exams, football games, and proms. As our class parted on grad- uation night it took diplomas, knowledge, and many wonderful memories, leaving behind only- dark, cold hallways which once knew- our laughter.

Resolutions to make something of your- self are made — and broken many times. There is a strong desire to push ahead and take a rightful place — or, at least rightful with the Seniors, and yet there is a slight yearning to be a fresh- man once again. Juniors seem to have so much fun and seem to be so utterly oblivious to their mistakes. After all, you think, I have been up here three years and am not a kid anymore — never was as green as some I see around here — and must look to the more seri- ous things. Spring, with its love affairs, and holidays rush by all too quickly, and dreadful exams begin. One more year and you’ll be out — but somehow you’re not completely happy about it. Mike Bagwell.

We were proud to be able to look down at the bewildered green freshmen, and look up and gaze with astonish- ment at the serious sophisticated seniors and jolly juniors. The Sophomores always took part in extra- curricular activities such as intramurals, sports, pep rallies, clubs,and community projects. We readily accepted extra duties and set a good example for the freshmen. Life as Sophomores was no easy task, but once it was over we remembered it as nothing but happy experiences to add to our collection of memo- ries. 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 68 surely has the best of everything — at least that’s what the sophs” thought. As the year came to a close we were not sorry, for we knew we had two more wonderful vears yet to come.

We, the freshmen of 1968 made our appearance in YHS frightened hut confident. We were determined that one day soon we would be looking back and realizing how silly we were. Sophomores, our old buddies, gave us a look of stupidity and a smirky grin. Juniors looked at us with sorrow and sym- pathy, while the . . . Seniors . . . didn’t even look. As freshmen we had our first taste of homework. Our studies became harder hut our efforts were well rewarded. We experienced the ear shattering cries at pep rallies. Have you ever been lost in the chaos and confusion of the YHS halls? Well, now you know how we feel. However, this year has had it’s highlights — starting every Friday afternoon at about 3:45. We have trulv enjoyed our freshman year at YHS and we are looking forward to next year when we will no longer be looked upon as green” fresh- men.

Vikings Hand Indians Defeat The Yazoo Indians began two-a-day practices at 8 a.m. on August 10. Twenty-nine boys reported on opening day. The Indians shed sweat and blood in anticipation of the opening game with Gulfport East. Veteran quarterback David Rayn was out of action for several games with a knee injury sus- tained in August. After a long bus ride to Gulfport, the Indians lost a close battle with the Vikings by a score of 14-7. The great Indian ef- fort was marred only by fumbles and mental mistakes. The next week the Clarkdale Wildcats invaded Indian land. The Indians lost 16-13 to the Wildcats after a life or death struggle which saw Clarksdale score a touchdown with one minute left to play. Bob Coleman and Ed Penton bring down a Viking. A Wildcat folds under Bill Crowder's running power. Benny Street takes in a Vicksburg pass. On September 22 the Indians took on the Murrah Mustangs at Hughes Field in Jackson. The Mustangs soundly defeated the Redmen by a score of 39-7. Bill Crowder score the touchdown on a 1-yard plunge. Safety man Benny Street stood out for the Indians on both of- fense and defense. Senior running back Monte Gray was lost from play for three weeks due to a concussion suf- fered in the first quarter. The Central Tigers rolled into Yazoo City one week later expecting an easy victory. The Iigers led 21-0 at halftime, but the spirited Indians came back to defeat them 22-21. The Indian’s defense held the Tigers to minus 9 yards in the second half. The crowd went wild when David Ryan kicked the final extra point. Junior wingback Bob Coleman ended his football season with a neck injury. Indians Win by Mighty Effort Ed Fenton prepares to meet head-on with a Tiger. On October 6 the determined Indians traveled to Green- wood to meet the powerful Bulldogs at their homecoming. The Bulldogs triumphed 21-0 in a hard-knocking contest. Once again, the Indians paid for their mental mistakes. Junior running hack Ed Penton was out for several weeks with a con- cussion received in the game. Several other Indians were also injured. The Indians were not discouraged by this defeat, however. They traveled to Vicksburg a week later to take on the high ranked Greenies. In another hard-knocking battle, the Indi- ans received a disappointing 14-0 loss. Even though they were behind in score, the Indians never gave up. The players and the coaches became more determined than ever to have a good season. A honk of Bulldogs smother Benny Street. Quarterback Ken Graeber is caught on the rollout by two Mustangs. Spirit and Teamwork On October 20 the undaunted Indians took on the Corinth Warriors in the 1967 Yazoo City Homecom- ing game. The Indians and their fans were ready for a victory, and a victory is just what they got. Corinth found the Indian defense an almost immovable object. One highlight of the game was a 72-yard touchdown run by Ed Penton. Even the second team refused to let Corinth score. When the final whistle sounded, the Indians had shut out Corinth by a score of 19-0. Still on their home field a week later, the Indians were ready to repay the Natchez Rebels for last year. The stubborn Indian defense did a very impressive job, holding the Rebels to a total of 69 yards. The Yazoo touchdowns were by Bill Crowder, who bull- dozed 22 yards and over four Natchez players, and Benny Street, who took in a 25-yard touchdown pass from David Ryan. Ken looks for Bill.

On November 3 the revived Indians trav- eled up the Natchez Trace to Tupelo. The Golden Wave overwhelmed the struggling Redmen on a wet field in cold, misty weath- er. A bright spot for Yazoo City was a 92- yard touchdown pass from Ken Graeber to Benny Street. Down, but not out, the Indians were de- termined to end the season with a win. They also owed Callaway for their humiliation of the Indians one year earlier. Yazoo’s first score was a 4-vard blast by Ed Penton. The second TD came when Benny Street fielded a punt, broke three tackles, and raced 66 yards for the double stripe. In the second half, Monte Gray intercepted a Callaway pass and three plays later ran 56 yards up the middle for a touchdown. Monte Gray intercepts a Callaway pass to set up an Indian touchdown.

Though the Indians' won-lost score was not im- pressive, their performance was. The small squad was known for its refusal to quit when the going got tough, its guts, and its tough defense. Surely, no In- dian felt that the long hard hours spent in practice and conditioning were in vain. Cheerleaders show enthusiasm and determination at Pep Rally. Dull Undertones Drowned by Enthusiastic Spirit Spirit Band rehears� 1� for the Big Game. The school year 1967-1968 proved to have the most spirited student body ever at YHS. Much effort was made by the faculty and the students to unite the classes during the enthusiastic pep assemblies. Competition between the four classes was discouraged by the cheerleaders who led such cheers as Go, Go, Get’em, Get’em!” The YHS students screamed as loud as they could. The roof of the auditorium almost fell off, thus leaving cracks in the walls for the evalua- tors to check. Spirit is carried on throughout the basketball season. Senior Maid Lanie Thomas Sophomore Maid Jean Dew Homecoming Queen Betty Montgomery Excitement and pride filled the air as Betty Montgomery was crowned Homecoming Queen for 1967-68. The wide-eyed freshmen, amazed at the spectacle, sent lovely Angelique Dubois as Freshman Maid. Jean Dew received a thun- derous applause as she took her place as Sophomore Maid. The spirited Junior Class sent lovely Dixie Hanna as Junior Maid. Beau- tiful and charming Lanie Thomas received a standing ovation from her fellow Seniors as Senior Maid. Spirit reigned supreme as the whole student body anticipated the parade that afternoon and the most important game that night.

Basketball 1967-68 The Indians bounced back from a disastrous sea- son last year to have a much better season this year. Coach Edmonds stressed conditioning and agility. This paid off in games won. Every battle was a hard fought one, even though some of the scores didn’t show it. Forming the nucleus of this year’s team were seniors David Ryan, Bubba Rainer, Benny Street, Chick King, and Mike Erickson. Returning next year will be junior lettermen Gary Sutterfield, Mike Bagwell, Bill Simmons, and Lee Erickson. The Indi- ans can look forward to an even more improved sea- son next year. Spirited practice sessions like this one prepared the Indians for their tough schedule. Gan Sutterfield gets two points against Murrah.

The team entered the Belzoni Invitational, the Jackson Daily News Relays, the Big 8 Track Meet, and the District IV Meet and placed high among the teams entered. Bill Crowder was chosen as Most Valuable Trackster for 1968. Bill represented YHS well in the district and state meets. Bill is one of the state’s top sprinters, with a 100-yard dash time of 10.0. Next year the squad will be strengthened by nine return- ing let termen. 104 Miss Jones’ homeroom battles the sophomores for the basketball championship.

With three re- turning let termen, prospects for next year’s golf team are bright. 106 Cheerleaders, what would a school do without them? This year at YHS the cheerleaders, by their enthusiasm, yells, and hard work, with the assistance of the pep squad and students, captured school spirit never before equaled anywhere. This was proved at pep assemblies when the student body showed the football team that no mat- ter what happened they were behind them 100%. The cheerleaders kept the spirit up by bonfires, banners, the spirit stick, and skits which they per- formed in pep assembly. All through the year this spirit was maintained, and the Indians knew that YHS was proud of their team and the effort thev put forth. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS - BOTTOM ROW: Angie Bates. Terry Melton.

Pep Squad Boosts Spirit Left, left, left, right, left!” TTiese enthusiastic words were chanted endlessly during hours of hot summer prac- tice sessions endured by the Pep Squad. Hie Pep Squad worked diligently to perfect pom-pom and marching rou- tines. Reactivated under the capable leadership of Mrs. Louise Clark after three years of inactivity, the YHS Pep Squad was a major half-time and pre-game attraction at football games. Led by president Ellen Gooch, 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 mak- ing posters. To raise money for their trip to Tupelo, the Pep Squad held a bake sale. Willingness to work and school spirit made the Pep Squad one of the outstanding organizations at YHS. After a tiring march, all the Pep Squaders’ could say was, Oh, Anticipation! my aching feet!” 131 FIRST ROW: Sponsor, H. DeCell; D. Deaton; B. Holly; J. Stampley; D. Mott; M. Davis; J. Langston; C.

Debaters Personify Excellence in Oratory But can’t you see how ridiculous the affirmative plan is? gestures negative Bob Williamson. Leading the Varsity Debate Team to success in district competition were Jimmy Martin and Norman Mott on the af- firmative and Bob Williamson and Debby Deaton taking negative positions. The debaters began work early in the season at the Millsaps Summer Workshop, designed to introduce the 1967-8 National Debate Topic, Resolved: Congress should establish uniform regulations to control criminal investigation procedures. The teams spent a challenging and fruitful year attending tournaments in debate, oratory, and extemporaneous speaking at MSCW, Southern, Laurel, Callaway, and St. Jo- seph. For the first time, YHS debaters en- tered a cross-examination debate, in which an open question and answer period is al- lowed. On March 30, the YHS Debate Club sponsored its initial invitational debate tournament, inviting thirty-six schools from four southern states. Also, the club presented an assembly program in which a stimulating debate on the merits of an honor system was enjoyed by the student body. 132 PRESIDENT: Chick King VICE-PRESIDENT: Benny Street SECRETARY-TREASURER: Bubba Rainer Left to Right: TOP TO BOTTOM: FIRST ROW: B.

Yazooan Staff Sets High Standards Keeping the students informed of noteworthy events and interesting facets of school life was, of course, the objective of the Yazooan Staff. Seven monthly issues and a magazine covering the last two months of the school year thoroughly impressed and thrilled the student body. Each paper was designed for the enjoyment of the student body. Continuing its record of taking top hon- ors at the annual M.S.P. convention, the Yazooan upheld its tradition of being one of the highest rated newspapers in the nation. YAZOOAN CLUB: FIRST ROW: A.

Juniors Prepare for Future Citizens at Girls’ and Boys’ State This year eleven Juniors, who proved themselves to be outstanding, were chosen as delegates to Girls’ and Boys’ State. Seven girls met for a week at Bel haven College while the boys met at Hinds Junior College. The delegates were divided into two parties, the Na- tionalist and the Federalists. By learning the many fundamentals of parliamentary government through actual participation the delegates were better equipped to be active citizens with an interest in politi- cal affairs.

National Athletic Members Are Initiated on Recognition Day A branch of the National Athletic Scholarship Society was first organized in the Yazoo Gty School in 1945-46 for the purpose of encouraging better scholarship, sports- manship and citizenship. Membership in this Society is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on a junior or senior. Requirements for membership are high and unusually diversified. One must have lettered in at least one major sport, he must have shown high principals of character at all times on the field, and he must have maintained a scholastic average which places him in the upper one-third of his class. The qualities in- stilled in these boys assure them of a purposeful and desirable future. 153 Left to right: Latin Award and DAR American History Award, Joe Mathis; General Science Award and Mississippi Award, Debbie Cummings; Phys- ics Award, Richard Martin; Chemistry Award, Debbie Nicholas; Biology AVard, Grayson Norquist. YAZOO JR. MISS - Sandra Harris 154 DAR GOOD CITIZEN — Marion Ferriss Honors Each year the YHS student body acclaims outstanding students who have attained a high achievement in science, homemaking, school life, history, Latin and intellectual abilities. The Latin Award was established by the 1966-1967 Latin classes in memory of Mrs. Eleanor Lester, an inspiration to all her students. It is given to the outstanding student of Latin and is based on class participation and grades, as are the history and science awards. Joe Mathis, a rising senior, was chosen for this outstanding Latin achieve- ment. By taking a test, which was given to all senior girls, Besse Hinshaw proved her ability as a homemaker by making the highest score. This year’s Junior Miss, Sandra Harris, demonstrated her ability as an all-around girl by presenting an excellent talent, grades, and personality in such a way that the judges chose her as the first place winner. Marion Ferriss was chosen as the D.A.R. Good Citizen, which she well deserved for her undying patriotism and loyalty to her friends and her country. The varsity cheerlead- ers for the next school year, 1968-1969 were chosen by the student body. These girls have the energy and spirit which will produce a success- ful cheering section. 1968-69 CHEERLEADERS - TOP ROW: Sally Johpston Terry Mellon Helen Crowder Ethel Holmes Kathv Croeker BOTTOM ROW': Barbara Peyton Jean Dew. 155 How Did I Get Into This? 158 What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind; In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be. 160 The student body of 1967-1968 was deeply saddened by the death of Mr. Cruit R. Buckley and his wife, Mrs. Buckley. Mr. Buckley, a trusting companion and friend to all the stu- dents of YHS, had come to the high school as its principal only one and one-half years before in 1966. Everyone loved and respected him and remembered his friendly laugh and his boyish smile from their two years in Junior High. With his spirited and energetic personality, Mr. Buckley was always a leader in the pep assemblies at YHS. Always optimistic before a basketball or a football game, Mr. Buckley was known throughout YHS as one of the sports’ most avid fans. He began his career in the Yazoo Gty Junior High School as a math teacher in 1953. Because of his out-going personality and his drive for achievement, Mr. Buckley was promoted to principal of the Junior High. Even though his stay at YHS was a short one he will always be remembered for his out- standing leadership and service to the students of YHS. Mrs. Guit R. Buckley, a teacher at Benton High School for only a short while, was responsible for much of the inspiration behind Mr. Buckley’s success. Although not as well known at YHS, she was one of the most respected and well-liked teach- ers in the Benton School System. She and Mr. Buckley were long-time faithful members of the First Methodist Church. Upon the tragic death of Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, Reverend and Mrs. Sigrest, Mrs. Buckley’s parents, moved to Yazoo Gty to raise the Buckley’s two sons, Joe and Bob. The death of Mr. and Mrs. Cruit R. Buckley will long be remembered as the most tragic unexpected happening of the year 1967. The cherished memories of these two outstanding leaders will be a part of the lives and thoughts of each citizen of Yazoo Gty for many years. 162 In Memoriam The death of Mr. Charles Marshall Dunn, President of the Yazoo City School Board, was a tragedy and a shock to all the students of YHS. Mr. Dunn had always been an interested leader and friend to everyone. His devotion to our school system and our community will long be remembered by those who came in contact with him. The death of fellow students, Geor- gia Graves, Wesley Hearst, and Donnie Hogue, hit close to the lives of the YHS student body. Although Georgia and Donnie were former graduates of YHS, their death was deeply felt by everyone. Wesley, a 1967-1968 Senior, was an active member in 4-H, Hi-Y, and DE. All three of these students will long be� remembered at YHS.
