Delta State Qrows
An extensive building program has been carried out
at Delta State Teachers College during the 1938-39
session.
The Doolittle Annex to the Hill Demonstration
School was completed. This building houses the Music
Department. A new Gymnasium, located on the site of
the old one, has been erected. It is one of the finest
plants in the state, containing a basketball court, locker
and shower rooms, offices and class rooms for the Phys-
ical Education Department, and rooms for various
sports such as badminton and ping-pong. An Athletic
Field House, which is used by the football team and golf
club, was added. A Library was constructed just north
of the Administration Building. Built of buff colored
brick, it follows the same Renaissance style of archi-
tecture as most of the other buildings on the campus.
Thus the Delta State Teachers College campus pre-
sents quite a different aspect from that of a year ago.
The BROOM hopes to show all of these beautiful new
buildings in its next issue.

The Student Cabinet, chief governing body on the campus, is the organization through
which students voice their opinions and needs. The function of the Cabinet is to administer
student government and to plan recreational activities through cooperation with the admin-
istration of the school. The 1938-39 Cabinet has made the student government more cross-
sectional of the entire student body.

AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN

The annual publication of ' Who's Who Among Students In
American Universities and Colleges" this year included Delta State
Teachers College for the first time. A representation of six students
was allowed. Because of outstanding leadership and for service rend-
ered the college, the following students were chosen to represent the
student body:

FOOTBALL
D. S. T. C.'s athletic mentor, Alec
Dickson, has done a splendid job of sports
here. This is Coach's third year with us
and we hope that he will be with us for
many years to come. He is not only a
builder of athletes, but he is also a build-
er of friends. Coach is one of the most
popular members of the Faculty.
Louis Thornton, Statesman Captain,
handled his duties well on the practice
field as well as in the games. He is also
a valuable member of our basketball and
baseball squad.
Cheerleaders . . .
Charlie Morris, "Hootee"
Thompson, Martha Bogue,
'Shine" Hemphill, and Luke
Perkins, as Delta's Cheer-
leaders, have made D. S. T.
C. one of the peppiest
schools in the S. I. A. A.,
at all athletic events. We
can say that Delta State's
School Spirit has increased
at least one hundred per
cent, due to their efforts.
FOOTBALL at DELTA STATE
A bird's eye view of the Statesmen
shows us Athletic Director A. D. Dick-
son, Assistant Coach Howard Shook,
Trainers Ray Ricks and Mac Day, and
twenty-eight gridmen. Howard Shook,
first assistant coach at Delta State, de-
serves a great deal of praise for his work
in helping Coach Dickson iron out de-
fects in individual players.
Even though the Statesmen were not so
very succesful in the number of games
won, it must be remembered that Delta
State played the top-notchers of the S. I.
A. A. The season opened with South-
western Louisiana Institute of Lafayette,
I a., where Delta trailed by a 19-0 score.
The last game was with the S. I. A. A.
champions, Memphis Teachers, which re-
sulted in an 8-0 score. The two bright
spots of the season were against Troy,
Alabama Teachers on Homecoming Day,
and Middle Tennessee Teachers on Arm-
istice Day.
The "Wrecking Crew," as the Freshmen
were known, was composed of Wynn,
McDonald, Senior, Magers, Boyd, and
Walker. Though they are not in the
above pictures, we are expecting them to
be in the front row next year.
Both trainers and twelve members of
the squad will be lost by graduation, but
prospects for the coming year seem
brighter because of the remaining Juniors,
Sophomores and the "Wrecking "Crew."

'38 -'39 SQUAD
39 — Preston Shows, (Sr.), out-
standing athlete of the sea-
son, came up to the high-
est expectations as Delta's
most consistent ground
gainer. Even a broken arm
didn't slow him up much.
24 — J. C. Wilson, (Sr.), whose regular posi-
t.on was end, was really a general utility
man, in that he did everything from call-
ing signals to catching passes.
A new angle on the football player
30 — Cyril "Bub" White, (Sr.), was a good,
consistent end, especially noted for his
ability to keep up the "pepper."
40— Jeff Bogue, (Sr.), Delta's 200 lb. left
tackle, wrecked havoc with the opponents'
line by hard drive and quick follow-up.
23 — Gardner Sanders, (Sr.), was both center
and guard for Delta. Despite his size, his
spirit and uncanny ability to sift through
the opponents made him an outstanding
cog in Delta State's wheel of defense.
34 — G. B. Edgir, (Sr.), was center or guird on
offense, and line backer on defense. His
job was to fill the holes on the defense
and was accomplished in a most effective
manner.
28 — Rod Smith, (Sr.), was a utility linesman,
by playing either guard or tackle, and will
be greatly missed in Delta's next cam-
paign.
22— A. C. Williams, (Sr.), came to Delta
State from Northwest Junior College.
Though a regular for only one year, he
has demonstrated his ability, as a quarter-
back, to maneuver a football team.
33 — Clifton Bishop, (Sr.), was the only man
who played every minute of the past sea-
son. His ability to kick and to back the
line made him invaluable to the States-
men.
18 — James Goodman, (Sr.), was lean and
lanky, and a good influence on the team.
16 — Bill Botkin, (Sr.), joined the squad for
the first time this year. To speed he added
a clear, snappy diagnosis of plays and
thus developed into a jam-up back.
M37fi
38 — Glen "Stumpy" Thompson, (Jr.), was Delta's outstanding end. He was held up most
of the season by an injured leg, but we're expecting great things from him next year.
17 — James McKelvy, (Jr.), was most promising of Delta's guards. He could penetrate any
of the opponents' lines and throw them for losses. The Student Body should watch him
next season.
20 — Wayne "Snooky" Harris, (Jr.), was a back who could hit the line, reminding us of
Chuck, (Charlie Thomas, '38).
29 — Edward "Dopey" Glover, (Jr.), came into his own midway of the season, and continued
to improve the remainder of the time.
35 — Bill Ballard, (Jr.), was playing a wonderful game at right-end, when he was shifted to
the tailback position. Here he made an even better man with his running and his easy-
to-catch passes.
12 — Manley Reeves, (Jr.), is better known as "Little Man." A harder to tackle ball-carrier
wasn't known on the team until a shoulder injury kept him out of most of the last games.
31 — "Sonny Boy" Gordon, (Jr.), showed great promise as a runner and blocker. He should
be one of Delta's "Four Horsemen" when the Statesmen meet the best the S. I. A. A.
has to offer.
27 — Bob Leshe, (Jr.), was changed from end to guard. It was a pleasure to see Bob come
cut of the hole and lead interference, knocking over all who tried to stop him.
37 — Earl Buckley, (Jr.), joined the ranks after two years at S. J. C. His Grade A defense
made him a problem for the opponents' line players.
36 — Fred Poe, (Jr.), should have been twins. He was an excellent passer, and could catch
them when it seemed impossible.
26 — H. H. Rowell, (Jr.), was hard to stop when he lowered his red head and charged
forward from his tackle position.
42 — Roscoe Bryson, (Jr.) , was another 200 pound tackle. Coming from Hinds Junior
College with two years' experience, he was a welcome addition to the squad.
19 — Fred McMurry, (Jr.), has been developing into a splendid blocking back, and by adding
his spirit to his love of the game, you have an asset to any team.
25 — Charles "Hoss" Barbour, (Soph.), was the "southpaw" of the passing staff. Opponents
couldn't tell whether he would pass or run. This with his signal calling will contribute
greatly to next year's football assets.
32 — Lawrence "Early" Shannon, (Soph.), was the only Soph. Linesman. His never-give-
way guard work was of the best.
21 — William "Art" Castle, (Soph.), was the third of the Soph Trio. His work as a line-
backer commanded the respect of the opposing ball-carriers.

On the gym floor, Delta State presented a quintet second to none in the Tri-States.
They hold the record of not suffering a defeat before the student body in two years.
Although the team didn't advance so far in the S. I. A. A. and National Tournaments,
the student body is very proud of them and will never forget their masterful performances.
The Statesmen defeated such strong teams as Millsaps, Miss. College, Murray, and Troy.
Delta State Teachers Col-
lege has a varied program
in Physical education in
which everyone finds some
activity. Some of these ac-
tivities are:
Soccer, Basketball, Aerial
Darts, Badminton, Table
Tennis, Shuffleboard, Soft-
ball, Dancing, Tumbling,
Etc.
The aim of our Physical
Education program is to
teach people to play and to
create a love for sports
which will carry over in
private and professional life.

The spring pageant pre-
sented by the Physical Edu-
cation Department has be-
come one the most interest-
ing events at Delta State
Teachers College.
Pandora, the pageant il-
lustrated, was presented on
May 19, 1938. The theme
was taken from the myth,
"Pandora," by M. L. Hut-
chison in his book, Orpheus
And His Lute. The pa-
geant concerns itself with
the Greek legend of crea-
tion.
Briefly, the story is as fol-
lows:
The gods of Greek leg-
end had taken a great deal
of interest in the promotion
of mankind on the Earth.
One day a mortal, Prome-
theus, crept into the abode

of the gods and stole fire,
which he carried back to
earth. This so angered
Zeus, chief of the gods, that
in order to get revenge on
mankind, he created Pan-
dora, a beautiful woman,
and gave her unbounded
curiosity and a very ornate
chest. Pandora met and was
mar r i e d to Prometheus.
They were quite happy un-
til Pandora's curiosity got
the upper hand of her, and
she opened the chest. All
the evils that Zeus could
imagine poured forth to
worry mankind eternally.
Prometheus, who came just
in time to see the chest of
evils set free, despaired of
life, but the spirit of Hope
emerged from the chest and
encouraged him to face his
many trials and tribulations.

WINNERS
To receive a shield a girl must excel in
a variety of sports. 100 points are al-
lowed for each major All-Star team made.
Minor sports carry 25 to 75 points.
Membership in the W. A. A. Piroutte
Club, and making the basketball offici-
ating team give points. 1,000 points are
required to make a shield.
Nellie Wallace and Edna Kearney
made shields this year. Due to the late
announcement of Edna's wining the hon-
or, her picture does not appear.
Those girls who excel in a sport make the All-Star team. When two All-Star
teams are made, a plate is awarded. The following girls are qualified for plates
in 1938-39.
