I think Scianna Hall is one of the new buildings on Hwy 49 service road.
Most interesting Firefly program last night. Thanks Kelly and Teresa for
recommending it. We need to find them in our area to get a Star on the map.

Subject: March 27 Fannye A. Cook, Pioneer Conservationist, Theatrical
Portrayal
Celebrate the life of Mississippi's conservation pioneer, Fannye A. Cook,
Monday, March 27 at 6:00 pm, Scianna Hall Auditorium, USM campus
Cook, born 1889, had a remarkable life that included her being the force
behind creating the State Game and Fish Commission (now the Department of
Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks), founding the Museum of Natural Science,
pushing to create wildlife management areas and protect the Gulf of Mexico’s
barrier islands, cataloging Mississippi’s flora and fauna, researching,
teaching, and doing it all at a time when women were considered generally
unsuited for the serious business of politics or science.
A glimpse at Miss Cook’s remarkable life unfolds in a half-hour, biographical
performance by wildlife biologist Dr. Cathy Shropshire. Shropshire’s
theatrical incarnation of Miss Cook entertains and educates, in the true
spirit of the incredible Fannye Cook.
Dr. Shropshire, and Libby Hartfield, the retired director of the Mississippi
Museum of Natural Science and twice a Southern Miss alumna, will be available
to visit over refreshments with the audience after the performance.
Admission is free.
