A New Name
Under the administration of
the Reverend w. w. Hooper
(1875-1885), the institution pro-
duced its first college graduates
in 1878 and aroused the inter-
est of the Women's Home Mis-
sionary Society of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. AS a re-
suit, in 1884, the Society opened
E. L. Rust Industrial Home for
young women. Built to accomo-
date AZ girls, the training in the
Home was calculated to supple
ment the literary training of
the school by giving attention
to the moral and spiritual de-
velopment of it's occupants. Un-
der the supervision of a teach
er, cooking, sewing, and general
homemaking were requirements
for residents of the home. Thus,
the young women who lived
there graduated with the three
fold attributes vital to virtuous
womanhood: the education of
the head, the heart, and the
hand.

Important Role In Early Negro
Education In State OF Mississippi

The greatest role in early Ne
gro education in the state,
particularly at the high school
and college levels, was that of
the church related educational
institutions, most Of them be-
ing established during, or short
ly after, the Post Reconstruction
period of the 1905, largely the
work of northern White mis-
sionaries, and the Freedmen's
Bureau, an organization created
by Congress in 1865 to aid the
newly freed slaves in acquiring
the knowledge, and assuming
the responsibilities of citizens
ship.
These church related educa-
tional institutions are still play
ing an important role in pro-
viding educational opportuni-
ties for Negro students in the
state, long after the dissolu-
ion of the Freedmen's Bureau.

The New Era
Finally, in 1857 DIR. E. A.

~ to create a functional pro-

contribution to the community
which the College serves. The
first phase of the program
(1962-66) is designed to relieve
the strain (resulting from in
creased enrollment) placed on
the present faculty and facili-
ties. During this period the
following buildings are slated
for construction - the Science
Building, the Auditorium-G Gym
nasium, and Dormitories for
young men and women. The

increased endowment, and other
necessary renovations are objec-

Tigers overcome brave Hornets
Extra point
decides game
by Wayne Rodgers

The Durant Tigers and
arch-rivaI, Lexington Hor-
nets, had a battle royal last
Friday with the Tigers final
Iy coming out on top, J TO
Is. 1t was one Of the lowest
scoring games in the history
of the series.
Outstanding defensive play
was the order of the night with
both teams putting their best
defensive foot forward. 1t was
a complete about face of last
years contest, which was one of
the highest scoring in the rival
RVS history.
The first quarter was fought
with vigah and ended in a score
less tie. The Lexington Hornets
fought their way over the Tiger
goal line to break the ice in the
second quarter. The I'D was
made on a quarterback sneak
from one yard out by Hornet
quarterback Robert Autry. The
extra point attempt failed and
this proved to be the difference
in the game. The halftime score
was Lexington 6, Durant 0.
The Tigers came back after in
PERMISSION an inspired ball club.
They got the touchdown back on
a forty-five yard jaunt off right
tackle by Johnny Mac Burrell.
This made the score 6-6 and set
the stage for the all-important
game winning extra point. Dan
NY HUMPHREYS, the only starting
senior on the Durant squad ma
de the conversion by going Oft
tackle. This gave Durant a z to
6 lead. That's the way the quar-
ter and game ended.
The fourth quarter proved to
be a repeat of the first with
neither team successful in it's
lattempts to cross the others goal
line. At one point during the
Igame the Hornet offense forced
1.-THE Tigers to make an outstand-
ling defensive effort. The Hornets
had a first and ten on their Is
when Shelton Rogers broke loose
and went to the Tiger five. The
Tigers made a goal line stand
and got possession on downs on
their own one.
Both coaches passed out no in
dividual bouquets as both teams
had outstanding team efforts.
This game ended the regular
lseason for both teams. The Tig-
ers will play Weir in the Jaycee
Bowl at Kosciusko Friday night
at 7:30 p. m. Durant ended the
regular season in a tie for second
place in the Mid5State Confer

Paul (ThermOmeter) Tardy

A weekend in the sack with a
belly virus bug afforded me the
rare opportunity of a session Of
TV education. The various pro-
grams were most entertaining,
but after a review of what | had
seen, it seems hat the adver-
tisements left a more lasting im-
preston.
For instance, so many of the
gasolines give out their reasons
why it would be so stupid of us
us to use any other kind. One
brand plugged a de-icer addi-
tive which really whirls up some
steam on a frosty morning while
another proved that any car
would cut 1.6 seconds time OFT
the first quarter-mile drag.
With these two views Jelled
together, l couldn't help but won
der if it wouldn't be dangerous
if a fellow just happened to get
some of that de-icer kind mixed
with a bit of the pct Cor what
ever the fire ball c%oncoction is
called and take off on an icy
morning. Could probably break
the sound barrier.
