0. W S E H R ' UeoA . . . Was one of the most successful years of Millsaps, ending the first of June when many of its students pass down the aisle towards diplomas and t!ie end of college life. Seventeen graduated at mid- term and among them were the class president, Rush, and the star of Alpha Psi Omega hits, Mitchie Applewhite. Millsaps ' post-war Homecoming was gala in spite of the showers that drenched all the floats in the parade and all the football fans and playe ' s. Despite the mud and rain, the Ma;ors come through with another vict ory for the Purple and White. The annual Millsaps-Mississippi College classic was one to be long remembered in our history, as the Majors defeated the Choctows 7-0 to break a decade ' s losing streak. Christmas and Mcintosh were honored as Little All-America football team members. Millsaps pledged $1000 to Soo Chow University and didn ' t stop till they had gone over the goal. Top Day come twice this year and saw leaders in all phases of campus life receive recognition for their work. Alpha Psi Omega and the Millsaps Players won laurels for such productions as Dear Ruth first semester and the one-act ploys second semester. Also along the dramatic line iif you can call it thath was the 1948 Varsity Show, Once Over Lightly. This was the brainchild of Turnbough and Lehman, sponsored by Sigma Lambda. Stunt Night produced quite an array of amateur talent and humor to boot. Religious Emphasis Week in December and the Pre-Easter Services were high on the calendar of religious activities and featured outstanding speakers. In the music world, Andrew Goiney ' s appearance marked a Red Letter Day, for he is a former Millsaps student who hit the big-time like a veteran. The annual fraternity campus-wide dances — K A Black and White Boll; Lambda Chi ' s Purple, Green and Gold Ball; and Pikes ' Cotton Ball were huge successes. Now the student body looks forward to the yearly Sig Barn Dance, which always spells a gay time. With comprehensives over, the Seniors have taken a new lease on life and eagerly await the awarding of the Sheepskin. Thus we close the diary of events for ' 47- ' 48 and look forward to even happier days to come. Page 29
