Collection Title: Mystic Krewe of Zeus of Hattiesburg Records Press Release:
May 29, 1998 The Hattiesburg Civic Association at their annual membership meeting voted to donate to the USM Archives scrapbooks and other material which document the history of the organization's Mystic Krewe of Zeus since its inception in 1924. The first Carnival ball of the Mystic Krewe of Zeus was held on March 3, 1924 in the Sans Souci Tea House on Highway 49 South. The idea of a Mardi Gras organization in Hattiesburg belonged to a teenager named Joe McMahon. Since 1924 the Mystic Krewe of Zeus has celebrated the pre-Lenten Carnival season every year except during the Depression, World War II, and the Korean Conflict. The man selected to be King of Zeus is a prominent citizen of Hattiesburg, active in the civic, social, and religious life of the community. A young lady of distinguished family is selected to reign as Queen of Zeus. Each Carnival season prior to Easter the Mystic Krewe of Zeus hosts several festivities for its members. The season culminates in a dinner dance with elaborate sets and costumes which reflect a central theme. Members of the organization volunteer their time to research the theme, build sets, and design costumes. Dr. David H. Halliwell, III is the new President of the Hattiesburg Civic Association and King of Zeus. Mr. Michael E. McElroy is the President of the Kings Club and immediate past King of Zeus. The scrapbooks were transferred to the USM Archives by Mrs. Lewis Fowler, Jr. Accession Number: AM 98-33 Dates: 1924-1993 Volume: 5 cu.ft. Given By: Mr. Michael E. McElroy.
