WILLIAM  MARION  KETHLEY,  LL.  D. 

President 

Delta  State  Teachers  College 


As  the  beautyof  our  Delta  country  is  reflected  in  the 
beauty  and  fragrance  of  the  magnolia  blossom,  so  is  the 
characterand  life  of  our  land  reflected  in  the  loveliness 
and  strength  of  character  of  our  young  women  and  young 
men.  Congratulations  to  you  who  give  this  1954  edition 
of  "The  Broom"  to  the  history  of  Delta  State  in  selecting 
as  a  theme  the  magnolia  blossom. 


W.  M.  KETHLEY 


JOE  FARRAR,  Ph.D. 
Dean  of  the  Faculty 
Delta  State  Teachers  College 


Officially  the  state  flower  of  Mississippi  is  the  Mag- 
nolia, around  which  you  have  built  the  theme  of  "The 
Broom"  .  In  reality  the  flower  of  Mississippi  is  its  youth — 
you  and  thousands  of  others  like  you.  If  the  State  ever 
bursts  into  bloom  in  keeping  with  its  potential,  it  will  do 
so,  not  because  it  is  the  blossoming  season  for  the  Mag- 
nolia, but  because  you — all  of  you — blossom  into  fine  and 
forceful  young  men  and  women  willing  and  prepared  to 
assume  yourresponsibilities  as  leaders  in  Mississippi's  pro- 
gress. It  is  a  magnificent  challenge  you  face.  I  dare  you 
to  meet  it  head  on . 

Sincerely, 

Joe  Farrar

1347    SIXTH    AVENUE,    NEW    YORK    19,    N.  Y.    •    CIRCLE    S-5200 


December  10,  1953 


Dr.  DoxLe  Shuler 
600  Sixth  Avenue 
Cleveland,  Mississippi 

Dear  Dr.   Shuler: 

As  an  old  Southerner  (I  used  to  hang  around  South 
Street  on  the  Lower  East  Side),    I'm  honored  and  happy  to  act  as 
judge  in  the  contest  to  select  the  most  beautiful  girl  at  Delta 
State  Teachers  College. 

I've  made  my  decision,   and  I'm  passing  it  along 
with  some  misgivings,   because  (a)   I'd  like  to  give  each  contestant 
a  prize,  and  (b)   I  know  how  wrong  I  can  bo  —  after  all,   I'm  the 
fellow  who,   16  years  ago,    refused  to  hire  Maiy  Martin. 

May  I  say,  however,  that  I  gat  a  kick  out  of  seeing 
all  the  photos.     Remembering  7*iat  some  of  my  old  school  teachers 
looked  like,   it's  nice  to  realize  that  some  of  today's  kids  —  in 
the  South,   at  least  —  are  going  to  get  a  break. 

Sincerely, 


mOST  BfflUTIfUL

We  dedicate  this  section  to  the  memory  of 
Freddy  Black,  a  member  of  the  Sophomore  Class  at 
Delta  State,  who  was  accidentally  drowned  during 
the  Christmas  Holidays .  Freddy  was  the  son  of  Mr. 
and  Mrs .  H  .  S .  Black  of  Jennie,  Arkansas .  He  was 
a  quarterback  on  the  Delta  State  football  team, 
a  member  of  the  track  team,  and  had  been  elected 
one  of  the  "Favorites"  of  the  Sophomore  Class. 
His  loss  is  deeply  regretted  by  all  of  the  students 
and  the  faculty  at  Delta  State.

MILLSAPS  COLLEGE  6  DELTA  STATE  27 

HOWARD  COLLEGE  0  DELTA  STATE  40 

The  Green ies  started  off  rather  slowly  against  Millsaps,  but 
finallygotrolling  in  the  last  half  and  plowed  the  Majors  under 
by  a  27-6  count.  Next  came  Howard,  and  they  met  with  the 
same  fate.  By  this  time  two  new  faces  came  Into  grid  promin- 
ence. These  two  were  Jimmy  Sanders  and  Billy  Hubbard.  Of 
course,  Willo  Goodwin,  Jack  Whites,  Dick  Goodman,  George 
Gronerand  all  the  other  old  heads  were  right  in  there  fighting 
and  they  went  into  the  Arkansas  A.  and  M.  game  with  high 
hopes  of  making  it  a  3-0  record.  But  disaster  struck  as  did  an 
accurate  toe  In  the  last  few  seconds  of  play  and  the  Greenies 
dropped  a  hard  to  the  Boll  Weevils.  (Continued) 


AUSTIN  PEAY  20  DELTA  STATE  0 

ARKANSAS  A&M  22  DELTA  STATE  20 

Austin  Peay  followed  with  a  20-0  decision,  but  the  Deltans 
turned  in  what  was  described  by  the  coaches  and  fans  alike  as 
oneof  the  hardest  fought  and  best  games  of  the  year.  Then  came 
the  ml  I  toppers.  They  took  advantage  of  their  many  breaks  and 
the  Greenies  injuries  to  trip  their  opponents  by  a  close  three 
point  decision.  But  there  is  where  the  Greenies  Grid  Machine 
became  a  destructive  menace.  Livingston  walked  on  Delta  Field 
readyto  trip  the  Greenies  to  shreds,  but  when  the  dust  had  settled 
and  our  halfbacks  had  retired  for  the  night,  the  score  was  a 
mere  67-6  in  favor  of  a  revamped  Statesmen  squad.  During  these 
games,  two  new  linemen  showed  what  fans  could  expect  in  years 
to  come.  (Continued) 


WESTERN  KENTUCKY       21  DELTA  STATE  19 

LIVINGSTON  STATE  6  DELTA  STATE  67 

Carl  "Bull"  Smith  and  Franklin  "Bird  dog"  Talbert  looked 
like  the  answer  to  Coach  Chadwick's  dream  of  six-foot-plus  ends 
with  plenty  of  beef  to  spare.  But  the  routing  did  not  stop  there. 
Nextweek,  theMuleridersof  Southern  State  fell  to  a  merciless 
onslaught  at  the  hands  of  the  tough  Delta  line  and  the  array  of 
fleety  backs.  Then  along  with  the  rain  and  slosh,  the  Lions  of 
TroyStateof  Alabama  came  to  Delta  Field.  A  bit  of  last-minute 
strategy  by  the  Deltans  gave  the  Trojans  two  points,  but  also 
brought  the  ball  out  to  the  20-yard  line,  where  big  George 
Gronerputatoe  in  the  wet  pigskin  that  carried  it  to  the  Trojan 
six  and  broke  their  back.  Final  count.  Delta  six;  Troy  two.

TROY  STATE  2  DELTA  STATE  6 

TAMPA  UNIVERSITY  6  DELTA  STATE  13 

Then  the  long  jaunt  to  Tampa.  Under  the  capable  direction 
of  fie  Id  genera  I  Gip  Garner,  the  Statesmen  took  the  Tampa  Tro- 
jans into  camp  with  a  13-6  victory  and  the  end  of  another  sea- 
son. And  what  an  end!  The  Trojans  were  picked  to  snuff  the 
Delta  fire  by  at  least  two  touchdowns. 

And  so  it  is.  A  record  of  six  wins  and  three  losses.  After  a 
good  start,  the  attack  seemed  to  sag  at  mid-season,  but  under 
the  ever  watchful  eyes  of  Coaches  Gene  Chadwick  and  Horace 
McCool,  the  fuse  was  lit  in  the  Livingston  game  that  flared  our 
boys  and  was  the  downfall  of  four  straight  Delta  opponents.
