TH~ PRESIDENT

C. A. OVERSTREET

During years of unfaltering service. our president has made an estimable record as a capable and tolerant leader. As the guiding hand of an institution of prominence, he has been chiefly responsible for the attainment of the prestige ii enjoys. His actions reflect the character of one who is progressive but not radical, stable but not overly conservative. The staff joins the student body in according him well-merited praise.

MEN'S ATHLETICS

HENRY GLADNEY

CAPTAINS

LAWRENCE DAWSON "COOKIE" H UBBARD

SOFTBALL The boys' athletic program has been somewhat curtailed this

year, due to natural wartime condtions. All games in which out­

side competition took part were played at the college. These

games, as well as intramurals and boys' physical education in

general, were supervised by the men's physical education in­

structor, H. H. Gladney.

At the beginning of the school year, competing intramural

teams were organized-the Rebels headed by Monroe Hubbard

and the Hornets led by Lawrence "Doc" Dawson. First on the

schedule last fall was football, and even though most of the par­

ticipants were inexperienced, the boys displayed fine team work

and spirit. The fighting Hornets were downed by the Rebels in

three out of four games. The first two contests were won by the

Rebels by scores of 7 to O and 13 to 6, respectively. In the third

game the Hornets came back strongly, taking that encounter by

/ I

., ,

VOLLEYBALL a score of 13 to 7. But in the last game the Rebels rallied and

took the final engagement and the series with a count of 14 to 7.

Plans were temporarily made to play L. S. U. Northeast Center of

Monroe, Louisiana; but due to unavoidable conflicts the plans

could not be completed.

A decidedly better Rebel team defeated "Doc" Dawson's

luckless Hornets in a best two-out of-three series to be the winner

of the volley ball division. Although the Hornets won the first

game by a large score, they were defeated in the last two en­

counters by small margins.

The basketball scene proved as dismal for the Hornets, for

once again the Rebels bettered them in a best two-out-of-three

series. In an exhibition game sponsored by the Student Christian

Association, the best basketball of the season was witnessed, the

final score being 34 to 29 ( in the Rebel's favor.) In addition to

TENNIS intramural contests, the Hornets and Rebels pooled their talents

to take on the fast Magnolia High School Panthers. The college

team went down in defeat by a wide margin of 59 to 29. Next

in the outside competition was the Magnolia High School Agri­

cultural team, who was defeated 46 to 45 in a fourth quarter

rally.

Winding up the boys ' physical education for the year was

softball. The Hornets eventually broke the Rebel jinx to take two

out of three games. These games were free scoring contests

marked by numerous errors.

The participants of both boys' and girls' P. E. are indebted

to the instructors, Mrs. Charlotte Byrn and H. H. Gladney, for the

excellent supervision offered. Each member of the classes, both

boys and girls , derived much benefit and pleasure from the year's

program.

WOMEN'S ATHLETICS

CHARLOTTE BYRN

BASK~TBALL CAPTAINS

TWYLA WATSON NELLE STEWART

The girls' physical education program, under the supervis­

ion of Mrs. Charlotte Byrn, was divided into quarters, the first

nine-weeks period consisting of tennis, calisthenics, and social

dancing. In the tennis division a tourament was held; Peggy

Graham emerged as winner with Ruth Wells as runner-up. The

program for the second nine weeks was composed of classes in

badminton, volley ball, soccer, and modern dancing. Dorothy

lee White and Mary Jo Warren were chosen as captains of the

volley ball teams, while Vera Mae Knod and Billie Lee Meyers

BASKETBALL WINNERS

period was devoted to basketball, four teams participating. The

four competing groups were captained by Twyla Watson, Nell

Stewart, Catherine Bilberry, and Cleolis Bradley. During the

fourth and final nine weeks the girls were engaged in softball,

archery, and tennis.

In addition to competitive athletics, a class was held once

each semester in which games for elementary school children

were discussed. This special class was offered in order for stu­

dents taking the education administration course to receive know-

ledge concerning children's recrection. Too, a course in health

and hygiene was given the hrst semester, while first aid was

taught during the second semester.

The girls' backetball teams gave several exhibitions, pro­

ceeds from the games going to various organizatins on the camp­

us. One exhibition volley ball game was played, also.

For both boys and girls athletics during the past year were

m program form, each sport being carried on at various periods

in order to furnish variety e:1ough to please all p::::rticipants.
