to fulfill his duty before the editor could carry through her plans. As you read on through

Defeating ·wharton .Junior College by a score

of 21-2, the Southern State College Muleriders opened

the 1951 grid season on September 15. The i\fule

the Pioneer line time after time to spill Pioneer

quarterback Hatch for long losses before he could

get his passes away. Steady visitors in the Pioneer back

field were J\Iulcrider aces Paul Grayson, Rip Powell,

Roy Ledbetter, Bob Scott, .J. E. Hooten, and Harold

Hime. V. E. Baber led in individual yards rushing

with Vance Roberts, Leon Turpin, Harvey Cook, and

Louis Sanford following.

The Riders took their first Arkansas Intercollegi

ate Conference Victory the next week with a 41-0

triumph over Ouachita College. Held to a 7-0 lead

at haH-time, the J\Iuleriders roared back with five

touchdowns in the last period. Don Crews and Ray

mond Crowe intercepted Tiger passes to put the ball

in position for three o( the touchdowns. The Rider

defensive line, led by Roy Ledbetter, George Kelly,

Bob Scott, Oris Thornton, and Paul Grayson, held the

Tigers to a net four yards rushing. Standouts in the

Jack Barnes sparked the Rider aerial attack for a gain

of 135 yards in eight completed passes. The Riders'

Q"J"Ound attack was held to 144 yards by the massive Delta

rnrned in a creditable performance in opening up holes

in the Delta defenses while the Rider defensive players

threw up a strong defense to throttle the Delta State

attack.

The Southern State College Muleriders earned their

first Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference championship

when they won a 19-7 victory over the A. and ~I. Boll

the Riders repulsed their blood rivals with a bruising

defense and a marvelous ground game. However, the

Boll Weevils made a scrap of it all the way, even with

out their active Davey Anderson. The punting· of Louis

Sanford, Southern State quarterback, was a big factor

in the game, as was the defensive play of Roy Ledbetter.

Roberts scored two of the touchdowns and Cathey

scored one.

This victory ended the 195 l season for Coach Elmer

Optimaggie, our Sicilian mule mascot, can probably claim the distinction

of having revived a dormant tradition at world-record speed. Prior to 1930, the

l\Iuleriders had maintained a mule mascot. Then somewhere, the tradition was

allowed to lapse. However, during the footbaJI season of 1950, the tradition was re

newed when the l\Iagnolia Optimist club presented Optimaggie to us. Since

then, the Riders have not lost a game at which Optimaggie was present.

ln order that he may travel more comfortably, the i\Iagnolia Kiwanis club

presented him a $1500 trailer during the past footb:111 season.

September of 1951 found a group of twenty-five girls working diligently to help reach the objectives of the Home Economics Club. The objectives are to develop personality, leadership, teamwork, friendship, and an appreciation of the home; to encourage improvement in scholarship; and to promote true Americanism. One means of accomplishing their objectives was through a well- organized plan of programs for regular meetings. The programs included speakers, demonstrations, joint meetings with other clubs, and club talent. Another means was by co-operating with the college by providing milk strainers, by presenting the cake walk at the Hallowe'en Carnival, and by entering floats in the football parades. The club was official hostess to the Future Homemakers in the fall and again in the spring when they visited Southern State's campus. A social was planned for each month. The Agriculture Club worked as a "brother club" with the Home Economics Club to make this year a success.

SEXTON SELLS MORE TRAINED BUYERS THAN ALL OTHER WHOLESALE GROCERS

These Are Equally Divided Between Men orid Women

Women buyers j udge largely by intuition. Appreciate immediately the value of new

products in brigh len ing their service Weigh the value of the product in their individual

service rather than by a price standard alone.

Men buyers depend upon carefu{ analysis. Slower to accept new items because they prefer to have things more standardi~ed. Sometimes overemphasize price as a /actor in their determinatwn.

Buyers for the institutional and restaurant field are skilled in the

technique of appraising foods. They mcike full use of scientific

methods of ascertaining food cost.

Sexton sells to 60,000 individual units in this great market. The

growth of the company has been based entirely on quality and

service. A policy of fine merchandise, carefully packaged, fairly

priced -and promptly delivered has won the confidence and good

will of these trained buyers.

Sinews for America's industrial strength are manufactured from trees by The Crossett Companies. While The Crossett Companies utilize the whole of each tree, including the bark, a problem of supply would be acute without new forests to replace former cuttings. This replacement is accomplished by constantly planting seedlings, caring for them, and harvesting the trees selectively. In this way, the cycle is perpetuated and jobs are assured in the years ahead for the youth of our state.
