1972 Mingo Chito Yazoo City High School Yazoo City, Mississippi Volume XXVI 1 Miss Mildred Levi

Miss Mildred Levi exemplified a spirit of co­ operation and dedication which was second only to her love of Yazoo City High School and its students, and for this reason she will be sadly missed. Her smiling face and jovial character will live forever in the hearts of many; we shall miss this kindly personality, but her perseverance should form a model for those that follow her.

In Memoriam

Peggy Boyd

The untimely death of Peggy Boyd causes us to wonder if we always do as much as we can to help our fellow man. We can only hope that because of such an instance as this we have more patience and under­ standing with the rest of our fellow students here at Yazoo City High School. Peggy will be missed by her friends and teachers. Too late now, we wish we could have helped. r'The b^uom cannot tell what becomes of its odor and no man can tell what becomes of his influence and example that roll away from him and go be­ yond his view.”

The 1971-72 MINGO CHITO staff feels that there is one person who, because of his devotion to the youth of Yazoo City High School and his tire­ less efforts to help young people better their way of living, will have a continuing and lasting influence on the lives of the YHS students. He is a person who respects and is respected. In an attempt to show our deep appreciation and love for him, we are proud to dedicate our 1972 MINGO CHITO to o Mr. Kenneth Buckley

3 It is saying less than the truth to affirm that an excellent book is like a well-chosen and well-tended fruit tree. Its fruits are not of one season only. With the due and natural intervals, you may recur to it year after year, and it will supply the same nourish­ ment and the same gratification, if only you return to it with the same healthy appetite. S. T. Coleridge

The IMAGES we create today are children of freedom And they’ll liberate us from this place which lives by hatred And these IMAGES we grasp today Are the person we’ll be someday — Their independence is the apparel of our mind, with good times like petals scattered over the shimmering blankets of leaves fallen in the autumn frost. These IMAGES are our freedom We must cultivate our minds so they may never become objects of domination but remain children of freedom Eternally.

Superintendent Maintains Quality Education

Superintendent Harold C. Kelly

The students and faculty of Yazoo City High School are proud of Superintend­ ent Harold C. Kelly. Mr. Kelly has given his time and effort to help create one of the finest public schools in Mississippi; his endeavors have won for him the respect of the citizens of Yazoo City and Mississippi. The many “headaches” he endures for the sake of maintaining quality public education are innumerable and incomprehensible. Stu­ dents and faculty of YHS express their appreciation to Mr. Kelly for his unceas­ ing work and support.

MR. JOHN HOLMES, President »

9 The Yazoo City school board, composed of leading citizens, works closely with the Superintendent and his assistants in outlining the very effective public school program. In every area and niche of the public school system is found evidence of the vigorous efforts of the Board of Education to provide adequate facilities, equipment, and personnel to enable the student to pre­ pare himself for the ever-widening horizon in his com­ munity, state, and the nation as a whole.

School Board Works For Better School

17 MR. B. D BURKS, Principal

Principal Burks Strives For Excellent School

Administrative red tape, faculty meetings, assem­ bly addresses, student conferences — innumerable commitments, formal or informal, are no mystery to Mr. B. D. Burks, principal of Yazoo City High School. Mr. Burks moves with ease through the in­ tricate maze of administrative duties. In performing his duties, the high school administrator finds many rewarding experiences when progress can be seen. Mr. Burks has won the respect of the high school students and faculty by his sense of fair play, and most would admit that it is because of Mr. Burks’ capabilities that the school runs so smoothly.

“I should have known to order more pictures to give away to my fans”!

18 MR. GEORGE RICHARDSON, DR. LINFIELD MILLER Assistant Principal Co-Ordinator of Curriculum

Administrative Assistants

The efficiency of any organization depends upon the leadership that is involved, and Yazoo City High School is fortunate in having very capable ad­ MR. SABIN RUSH Assistant Superintendent ministrative assistants to help the superintendent, principal and school board achieve their goals. A familiar face to the students at YHS, especially the students who are habitually absent or tardy, is that of Mr. George Richardson, our assistant princi­ pal. Mr. Richardson serves in the principal’s capac­ ity when Mr. Burks is not present, handles absen­ tees and tardies, and teaches chemistry. Dr. Linfield Miller serves as our coordinator of curriculum whose job it is to prepare and co-ordi­ nate the curriculum. He is the one responsible for revising the curriculum to bring it up-to-date, and this year he has made several changes which will enable students to receive a broader education. Serving as assistant superintendent is Mr. Sabin Rush who, along with his many other duties, is the person responsible for coordinating the adult educa­ tion program which has gone over so successfully. With these administrative assistants, YHS contin­ ues to progress and keep pace with the latest educa­ tional innovations.

Administrative Secretaries

The secretarial force for the Yazoo City Public schools is always faced with many and varied jobs. Two familiar faces seen at Yazoo High School are Mrs. Georgia Ann Hood and Mrs. Marion Brown, secretaries to Mr. Burks. Serving the administration at the Educational Service Center are Mrs. Fdna Broocks, Mrs. Doris Caperton, Mrs. Ann Simmons, Mrs. Lucille Smith, and Mrs. Betty Weber. All these secretaries combine efforts to do the tremendous amount of work necessary to support the business transactions of our school ad­ ministrators. This efficient group of women is confronted with stacks of papers and numerous phone calls daily. Secretarial Office work also includes bookkeeping, checking absentees, handling student records and Title I funds, etc. MRS. DORIS CAPERTON Yazoo City High School students, faculty, and administration are grateful for their crew of fine secretaries.

20 Library Becomes Multi-Media Center

“Mrs. Smith, when did they start binding the Playboy magazine,” questions Georgette Thomas.

Profile of the Brave — our librarian, Mrs. Mary Emma Smith.

George Dawson once said, “The great consulting room of a wise man is a library.” At Yazoo City High we say, “The great consulting room of an “A” student is the high school library.” Our library has become a MULTI-MEDIA resource center with new materials arriving daily. At intervals, teachers bring their students to the library so that the students can share in the knowl­ edge that it holds. Because of the helpful assistance that our librarian, Mrs. Smith, gives, students are able to use these resources to the fullest extent.

Business Education Offers Variety

The Business Education Department offers training in bookkeeping, short­ hand, typewriting, general business, business English and secretarial proce­ dures. These subjects are vital for students who wish to go into the fields of accounting, secretarial science, and business. Also, almost any student could benefit from taking some of these business courses as an aid in their other studies. The business education program is planned so that if a student desires he can be prepared to take a job immediately upon graduation from high school.

D.E. Provides Practical Training

“Excuse me — it must have been something I ate,” states Mr. Brannon. The Distributive Education Department is organ­ ized to serve effectively the following types of per­ sons: students who are trying to find a vocation; students who have industrial experience and have found the particular occupation in which they are interested, but need special training; students who for financial or other reasons cannot devote four years or more to study; and students who possess the aptitude, ability, and interest to develop by ac­ tual doing rather than by formal study alone.

The department of Health and Physical Education aims to provide opportunities for students to engage in activities that are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating and sat­ isfying, and socially sound through the provision of indoor and outdoor facilities. “Recreation gives one the quality of human understand­ ing and compassion which forms the highest quality of citi­ zenship and brotherhood among men.”

“No, a kiss is not the same as mouth to mouth resusi- tation,” explains Miss Utroski.

Industrial Arts And Driver’s Education

“Now Nancy, this is what a STOP sign looks tike,” explains The Department of Industrial Education is approved by the State Board Coach Myers. of Education to offer instruction for the preparation of students in Industrial Education. This function is accomplished in part through shop classes and related conferences. The courses offered in the Department of Industrial Education are plan­ ned to prepare students who have technical and industrial potentials to qual­ ify for many of the job opportunities or to pursue advanced study. Driver’s education is offered to those students who want to learn to han­ dle a car properly. Practical experience in the actual use of a car is provided as well as learning regulations of the Mississippi State Highway Department.

“I can’t believe I ate the whole thing,” declares Mr. Wil­ liams, shop teacher.

29 Music Department Widely Diversified

Rock Steady, Mrs. McCoy! An outstanding band requires not only dedication and de­ sire, but hours of practice and years of previous study. A select group of students have willingly given this devotion and extra measure of themselves to make the Yazoo City High School Band one of excellence. This year the band participated in the Christmas, Inaugural, and Homecoming parades. The band, directed by Mr. Stanley Beers and Mr. Phil Nanney, includes the marching, stage, and concert bands. Each year the band takes part in various band clinics which are rewarding and in­ spirational. The Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Jevonne K. McCoy, strives to achieve richness of vital harmony. The Mixed Chorus participated in the District Choral Festival, State Festival, and rendered a Christmas Concert for parents and the community. A select group of students attended a vo­ cal clinic in New Orleans. The Mixed Chorus is looking for­ ward to greater achievements in the future.

Every picture tells a story — right Mr. Beers and Mr. Wonder if Mr. Nanney has bubbles to go with his Vaughan? champagne music?

Efficient Staff Benefits School

JANITORS — Elizabeth Gibbs, DeWitt Collins, I. V. Collins. Each day at 12:15 the thunderous rush to the cafeteria was an indication that something delicious must have been prepared. The cafeteria staff, headed by Rosa Harrison, prepared meals ranging from sandwiches and soup to turkey and dressing, with an occasional “surprise” dish like “comeback salad.” Charged with the responsibility for a clean campus and building was a capable staff of maids and one jani­ tor. Dividing their work, the staffers complete their work efficiently and in good order.

31 CLASSES

Every year at YHS has helped us to unearth a portion of the picture of life in every person. Tearful memories and warm hearts on cold days have taught us a valuable lesson — the art of loving — living with the desire to fulfill — not necessarily to be fulfilled.

65 Sophomore Class

“Sophomores” — the word was fascinating to us! Here we were at last! We had certain goals for our­ selves — to enlarge our store of knowledge, en­ hance our personalities, broaden our scope and heighten our loyalty for our school. As the year rap­ idly passed we strived to attain these goals. As our sophomore year was completed, we found ourselves unified and strengthened, and, more than ever, bound and devoted to YHS.

The Colonels raced into pay territory only to have the score nullified by a penalty against their team. Later the Indians had possession at the Colonels’ 45 on a fumble recovery. In eleven plays the Indians put the scare into the hearts of the Colonels with a go-ahead touchdown and Mike Phillips ramming over for one.

114 Leading the student body in spirit for the school year 1971-72 was a hard-working and high-spirited group of cheerleaders. Through many long and hot hours of practice, painting signs, making favors, planning pep rallies, decorating the school and field with signs, and boosting school spirit, they continued to show their spirit and love for the teams, the band, the student body and the town which they represented. Even when times got rough, and defeat seemed at hand, their cry could still be heard — “We’ve got spirit!” The cheerleaders who worked so hard were: Seniors — Betty Jo White (head cheerleader), Mary Ellis, Dorothy White, Debbye Spencer, Kym Allen; Juniors — Marion Nolan and Christy Coats. Through their efforts, the year 1971-72 will long be re­ membered as a spirited school year. The spirit of YHS would never have been so unique without the hard work of the B-Team cheerleaders. They were Marianne Williamson (head cheerleader), Debra Bush, Vickie Stovall, Sallie McGraw, and Pam Morris.

Band Directors, Phil Nanney and Stanley Beers, look over some concert music.

Once again the YHS Band has appropriately earned and retained its title, “The Pride of the Delta.” Under the direction of Stanley Beers and Donald Vaughan, the band was constantly a source of entertainment and spirit for the ten- week football season, and then ended their marching year with performances at the Delta Band Festival in Greenwood and at the Inaugu­ ral Parade in Jackson. Second semester introduced a new assistant di­ rector, Phil Nanney, former drum major from Ole Miss.

The YHS Stage Band began its year under the directorship of Mr. Donald L. Vaughn. The Stage Band earned much public recognition through its performances at various banquets and social functions. Second semester brought a new di­ rector, Mr. Phil Nanney, and a very busy schedule to the jazz band. Mr. Nanney and the members worked hard and gained their well-earned rec­ ognition with remarkable contests’ re­ sults and public approval.

137 CO-EDITOR’S NOTE As the final pages of the MINGO CHITO are being prepared, we pause a moment to reflect back over the 1971-72 school year. Already events are beginning to dull in our memory — football games, homecoming, pep rallies. We only hope that this year’s MINGO CHITO will serve the purpose of helping us to recall again and again the 1971-72 school year. It was prepared with you, the students, in mind, and if we help you to recall, pleasantly or unpleasantly, this past year’s events, then the MINGO CHITO has served its purpose. MARY NELLE COWSERT
