Let music wing emotions due thy worth , And wake reflections rich in thought sublime ; Let epic poetry describe the tune. In which thou didst release first hope of birth . Thou, dauntless spirit of a chainless power, Though god of war left shot-holes in thy sides. And ripped thy polished floor from oaken sill. Hast linked the old and new, and at this hour. Thy primal spirit still in thee resides The hungry soul with righteousness to fill. 16 mmm OTBr sMk iM 4mm Mm z Senior Class Lloyd K. Moore W. B. Horton John W.

For the rights of mankind you always stand, Triumph is yours, and glory will attend. There is none your equal in all the land. And we are with you, your rights to defend. All admire you, and soon all shall obey, As time rolls on your splendor shall unfold; Truth commands thee, and Virtue you display. All eyes are on you — it’s you they behold. You have given us treasures every day, Through your books and your teachings ever high, Something that always with us all shall stay, r— .

Pen” in finishing a very successful course, has made a host of friends. He always has a cheerful smile and a pleasant greeting for everyone he meets. Pep” is a good student, a loval Choctaw and a faithful worker at everything he undertakes. Not only is his scholastic record enviable, but he is also a musician of note, having served efficiently in the band and concert orchestra. We wish for him a life of perfect harmony. Willie H.

(3); Fellow in Biology (3, 4); President Pre-Mod Club (4); Captain Cross-Country Team (4); Literary Editor “Tribesman” (4); Feature Editor “Collegian” (4); Music Club; “M’ Club; Special Distinction. “Jimmy.” as he is more familiarly known by the great majority of his college mates, hails from Kentucky, and we doubt that that great old state could have sent us a better repre- sentative. We have often heard that Kentucky is famous for her women, and we are now of the opinion that she is equally as famous for her men, for Jimmy is a man of geunine ability and integrity. He is very versatile in his talents and, after he had been with us long enough to make himself known, he soon took a place of leadership in the affairs of his class as well as those of the student body. For some time he has been an assistant in the depart- ment of Biology. Jimmy is a scholar, athlete, and gentleman, and he will be sorely missed next year. We know that a great future awaits him.

His scholastic achievements, well above the average, have come as the result of the ability to grasp and master a situation rather than by hours cf endless toil. But “Sheep’s” success in school is by no means to be measured by his honor points, but the good will and the friendliness of the entire student body toward him. He has been a friend among friends, a man among men, and a true sportsman among sportsmen. Time alone can ripen such a personality into career rich with brilliant achievements. We feel the utmost confidence in his success.

His magnetic personality, together with an indescribable friendliness, has given Eddie a popu- laiity 1 that is rarely ever attained by most of us. Since his Freshman days Eddie has always proved himself zealous for the welfare and enthusiastic in supporting the various activities Sf the campus. His high ambitions, sound judgment, sturdy will power, deliberate thought, diligent efforts are the contributing factors for his successful scholastic career In him are ' ill the qualities and prerequisites necessary for the continuous ascension of the ladder of success Clothed with diplomacy, versed in the principles of government, informed of the Stairs of the day, and radiating that ever-present congenial spirit, we hope to see Eddie at the highest peak of the legal profession.

Chain or MOUNT OLIVE, MISSISSIPPI BA. Degree; Freshman Football; Freshman Basketball; Freshman Baseball; Varsity Foot- ball (2, 4); Varsity Basketball (2, 3, 4); Captain Basketball (4); “M” Club; Philomathean. “Red” Chain leaves behind him a most enviable record. From his freshman days he has been an outstanding figure of our class. His ability to perform well any task assigned to him has won him a place of esteem from everyone. One word, better than all others, seems to describe his athletic prowess, his classroom achievements, and the good will of others toward him — that word is “thorough.” “Red” always does his duty and does it well. What better could be said of anyone?

Some names remain on the tongue of the undergraduates long after their faces have dis- appeared from the campus. Stories of heroic achievements will be heralded as long as men are called on to uphold the college name on fields of conquest. Such a name is “Dog” Lee. Such stories will have as their hero Dog” Lee. “Dog” has proved himself one of the most versatile athletes who has ever attended Mississippi College. Although almost unanimously voted the best athlete, his career has been by no means one-sided. He has shown himself a man worthy of recognition, a capable student, and a prince among his fellows. We are confident that his hard, clean, fair play will merit the victories of life. 32 Vernon Eric Dykes OF MAGNOLIA, MISSISSIPPI B A, Degree; Farr Medal; Philomathean Herald on Anniversary Ticket (4); Fellow in Physics (4) nvkes finishes as a three-year man with his own class. He dropped out to instruct the vouth of the commonwealth at the beginning of our Sophomore year let we have learned fn the three years he has been with us to appreciate the smile and the hear ty good cheer Lt is rldiated by him. Dyke’s successes in the literary, scholastic and religious life of that I ™ h-ve been noteworthy, being a leader in all these phases. He has showed out- our campus ha b t physics department, and was given a fellowship in that department. Endowed with h e 1 q ual it test hat lea’d to success, we predict for him a bright and useful future.

M. C. A. (4); President Senior Class; Distinction. The beginning and the end of Lloyd’s college career offer a pleasing contrast. After spending an almost uneventful two years here, he came forth like a pent-up flood sweeping the honors before him. Lloyd has acquitted himself well in each office he has held, giving his untiring efforts until each task was completed. Loyalty, earnestness, patience, and truth have marked his course, and have made him one of the outstanding men of our campus. These qualities make us confident of the later successes of our president. Henry A.

His straightforwardness, his ability, his modesty his gentility, and his courtesy have won for him the respect and admiration of his fellow students and his instructors. To know Junie is to love him. While he is finishing in three years, these years have been unusually active, and in every activity he has acquitted himself faithfully. As he leaves here, we predict that whatever nook in life he may have will be better for the manliness, the honesty, and the straightforward life he may lead. W. H.

Degree; Freshman Football: Freshman Track; Varsity Track (2, 3, 4); Class Football (2, 3, 4); Assistant Manager Football (3); Manager Football (4); Band (2, 3); “M” Club; Philomathean. Back in the fall of 1924 there came to us a diminutive one from Hollandale, who since has figured in a large way in nearly everything that has happened since. Barefield has enjoyed a rare popularity by his happy-go-lucky nature and has succeeded in passing his carefree spirit to others around him. In leaving the wigwam Barefield leaves behind him a score of friends, friends who have learned to love him as a student, an athlete, and a cheerful companion. His pleasant smile, personal neatness, his ambition and determination insures for him success in whatever task he may choose. Theo L.

He has been one of the most loyal taws who has ever loved M. C. Shorty has the knowledge of his convictions, the cou to stand by them and, finally, the ability to put them into action. To those who have had the privilege of knowing him intimately, “Shorty” is a friend of the truest tvpe. If he can only meet the problems of life with the same traits and the undying optimisn have marked his college course, success will surely be his. Charles M.

If we were to sum up Jewell’s life in one word, that one would necessarily be — consecration. Never have we seen a more zealously conscrated life, and this has won for him the respect of the entire student body. His class work as w r ell as his life has been an excellent example to his fellow students. His life, fitting so perfectly into God’s plan, is sure to be crowned with his own “Well done!” Ray Truitt OF HIGHLANDALE, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Ministerial Association; Masonic Club (3, 4); English Club (4); Class Foot- ball (4); Hcrmenian. Ray brought with him four years ago an untiring energy, an inexpressible willingness to work, which have resulted in a very well-balanced course. By his consistent application Ray has gained the reward of a good record here. However, all his energies were not devoted to his studies alone, for he has been a loyal member of the Hermenians, and his efforts in that society have been noteworthy. As a ministerial student his example of daily life on the campus has been worthy of praise. He has been a gentleman in every detail, a Christian in every sense of the word. We hope that he may go through life even nearer to his Guide, and that his blessings may be bountiful. 40 Agnes Anderson OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI BA Degree; First Honor Graduate of Hillman College in 1924; Special Distinction. rnanlflvlne the same gifted powers that characterized her graduation from Hillman, Miss AnTrson is completing a most successful course here. Her record is unusually brilliant, but t is only an indication of her true abilities. Miss Anderson has shown a remarkable nf co-operation in every activity in which she had a part. She has always been faith- ful to the class in everything we tried to do. Her wonderful natural abilities, combined with that splendid spirit of co-operation, and her meek, modest, yet magnetic personality make s a class proud of her as a classmate and wish for her a most brilliant future.

C. as the place to complete her education after graduatin L ‘‘Stute and in doing so she gave us a student who can only be characterized as fait dilieent and reliable. She goes about her work with a devotion that is rarely equaled, and which has resulted in a brilliant record for her. She has been very active in the religious life of the campus, and her example before the students has been unquestionable. She is loval to everything she undertakes, for she undertakes only those things which are right. May success be hers, and may she ever hold fast to those high ideals she has already set. k 4 1 Joe G.

We hope that Joe’s college course has been as profitable to him as it has to us. He has made a host of friends here with his likable manner and his friendly disposition. Leaving us in his sophomore year, Joe tried Tulane for a change, but came back to finish with the class. Joe is very talented in writing poetry and has contributed quite a few worthy and beautiful poems to the “Collegian.” May the rhyme and meter of his life be in sweet accord with his ideals of happiness. W. B. Garland OF ENID, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Class Basketball (1, 2, 3); Class Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Philomathean. Many things may be attained in a college course, but one of the greatest of these is winning the friendship of the students. This Garland has accomplished,, for few men have more friends than Willie Bell, and few men are better liked in the student body than he. has won his friends by being friendly in the frank, happy, sincere manner of which seems to be a master. Besides the asset of being friendly, “Snag” has the ability to a plish the task set before him. He Is energetic, industrious and thoroughly capable, him go the best wishes of our class for a happy and successful future. Trib esman 19 2 8 H William Anderson Cross OF ENTERPRISE, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Class Basketball (2, 3, 4); Freshman Baseball; Class Baseball (3, 4); Hermenian. Bill entered school with us four year ago and has been one of our most loyal members even since taking part in all the class activities. His sincerity, good nature and wit are only a Dart of his splendid personality which is evidenced by his large number of friends. It is his nature to be quiet and reserved, and accordingly many of the boys have failed to appreciate the lollity the cleverness, and the rare sense of humor that seem to form such an essential part of him. Bill, in addition to the popularity among the students he haa attained, has also attained a crceditable scholastic standing. These many traits assure us of his future success. 3): W. D. Mangum OF MAGEE, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree- Class Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); CJass Baseball (2, “Little Peter” brought with him a nature congenial enough for one twice his size, and throughout his stay here he has woven the thread of friendship until the completed work will now last a lifetime. Not only is he a friend of all, but he is one of the most loyal members the class has ever had. He has represented the class in numerous interclass con- tests in a very creditable manner. His scholastic record has been enviable from his Fresh man days, and considering this fact, he was able to finish in three and a half years, are justly proud of Mangum, and our wish es for a most successful life will follow him in whatever he may undertake.

Degree; Band (1. 2, 3, 4); Concert Orchestra (3, 4); Revelers (3, 4); DeMolay Club; Attala County Club; Pre-Med Club; Class Football (4); Class Baseball (4); Philomathean. We wish it were possible to portray in full the wealth of wit, the depth of that spirit of true friendship, and the unmeasurable breadth of ability that is possessed by Joe Frank. He has gained for himself a most creditable record while in school here, and yet not at the sacrifice of his own pleasure. But as an independent thinker and a dependable worker, he has pressed onward, brushing aside the obstacles which hinder his progress toward his goal. Joe Frank is one of our ambitious future doctors, and with the qualities that has shown here, we feel sure of his success in that line.

From the day of his matricula- tion here Leland has been every inch a Choctaw. He is an excellent student, an earnest worker, but chiefest of all is his very likable disposition. Leland has displayed marked ability along chemical lines, winning a fellowship in that department. The aggressive spirit which he has demonstrated here assures us of a brilliant future for him. 44 Tribesman 19 2 8 Hi Rushing OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Debating Team, College Quartet, Rusk Junior College Rusk Texas ’ 4 2 f i- Student Pastor (2, 3, 4); Chorister Ministerial Association (4); Ministerial Student; Hermenlan. Hi has only been with this class for two years, but during this time every man among us has learned to love and respect him as a student and as a gentleman. He has alwavs been a good student, a steady worker, and with superhuman perseverance he has pressed on toward his ideal. He possesses a sunny cheerfulness and an infallible good nature. He has the abi ity io take the hard knocks of life and still remain unfaz d before t em. He is tal ntod in various ways, especially along musical lines. It is hoped that these talents may be utilized in some community even to a larger extent than they have been here in school. We are predicting a most happy and prosperous future. S. T.

He is possessed of a dignity that is admired by all who know him. and yet there is that quality about him which makes a friend of each acquaintance. We sincerely regret that it was not our privilege to know Roebuck longer for we shall feel the loss of the daily companionship with him. However, we hope that in the future we may be brought in contact with many of his nature and temperament. +5 ft Johnny W. Vest OF TANGIPAHOA, LOUISIANA B. A. Degree; Class Basketball (2, 3, 4); Y. M.

His cool and considerate manner has made many friends for him. His way of thinking things through thoroughly is to be admired. Johnny has made an enviable record through careful consideration and earnest application. Johnny combines all the qualities of a likable chap in the makeup of his forceful personality.

Moak OF PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS B.A. Degree; Freshman Football; Freshman Basketball; Freshman Baseball- Scrub Foot- ball (2); Class Football (2, 3, 4); Hermenian. ’ Julian is another member who came to us from the Class of ’27. After remaining out school a year to teach the youth of the land. Moak came back to be a loyal member of th Class of ’28. He has served the class well in the interclass games, and supporting loyally every move that has been undertaken by the class. In our Sophomore year Moak decided to end this feeling of loneliness that comes to each of us, and accordingly brought back to school with him a charming wife. Moak is a strong man, an earnest student, and a g( man in every respect. We hope that when he meets the cold, cruel world in these future he may find success and happiness in the fullest degree. S. B. Platt Tribesman COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Ministerial Student; Varsity Debating Team (4); Hermenian Anniv Platt came trp from the Class of ’29 in order that he might sooner complete his preparation for a noble task. During his stay here he has been a consistent worker, an exceptional student, and has proved the purity of the metal of which he is composed. His quiet, un- assuming manner and his kindly interest in his fellow students have won him the good feeling of his classmates. Platt has shown talent along oratorical lines, having had an important position in the affairs of the literary societies, and winning a place on the debating team. If his student life here is an indication of his future, we predict a happy and successful future. Our best wishes go with him. 47 Otis H. Black OF LOUISVILLE, MISSISSIPPI BA Degree : Freshman Track Team; Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Quartet (2, 3); Letter in Track (3, 4); Football (4); “M” Club (4). Black’s career in school here has been very varied. He has undertaken to serve °n the athletic teams, the Glee Club, and to prove himself an all-around good fellow. In each of these he has been successful. He has been equal to every task, faithful in every trust, sincere in every thought, and sane in every judgment. Black has made a host of fiends on tne campus with his delightful personality and his kind-hearted spirit. In every dealing in his student life Black has proved a clean-cut gentleman. We hope that the fortunes or lire will be kind to him. Stuart M. Davis OF MENDENHALL, MISSISSIPPI BA Degree; Freshmah Tennis; Scrub Tennis Team; Simpson County Club; M. S. C. W. Club; Philomathean. In Stewart we have a quiet, reserved, but thoroughly capable student. Not many of our boys have known him intimately, but those who were fortunate enough to be in the inner circle of his friendship have known earnest, energetic worker. He has themselves more conscientious than record he has made. He carries the him as a helpful friend, a loyal companion, and an pursued his studies diligently. Few students prove e, and his work has been rewarded by the enviable : est wishes of all the class in whatever he undertakes. V ( 4 Id Tribesman 19 2 8 J. Wesley Miller OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.

Besides shining in the class t?° L £? pr i id 1 in ‘ n , the Precincts of his own home. Miller has aided in administering h .® «« ITf alTairs of the college as first assistant to J. T. Probably no student in school has as wide a contact with the student body, and incidentally their poeketbooks. as has hAwm and h ‘r fli 1 en ‘ ,s are legion - We are confident that out there in the world somewhere be will carve for himself a niche of which we shall all be proud.

Winstead is an inheritance from the Class of ’27, and a right valuable one is he. Steadiness and dependability are dominant traits of his that are manifested in his everyday life. His steadiness is evidenced in the fact that he is receiving his diploma this May after having overcome obstacles and delays in his college course, and his dependability is made manifest in the fact that he has always discharged his responsibilities. The fortunate man is he who counts among his friends such a man as Winstead. The best wishes of your classmates will follow you, Ralph. William P. Davis as BLUE SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI BA Degree; Graduate Clarke College, ’26; Vice-President Philomathean Society (3); Minis- terial Student; Pastor of Five Churches (4); Masonic Club; English Club; Tliree-Year Student; Philomathean. Davis is one of the most wide-awake members of the Class of ’28. Apparently he is a bundle of energy waiting for some opportunity for action to come along and ignite him. He is likable chap, and has scores of friends among all the classes of the student body. Dav is also a good student, being especially fond of English. In fact, he is one of the luminarie in Professor Buckley’s department. Davis has a pleasing personality and a friendly disposi- tion that will mean much to him in later life. We do not know what vocation he will follow, but we know that the one he enters will receive the best that he has to offer. l Tribesman Trib esman mm i ■■■■■■■ Nathan Allen OF BROOKHAVEN, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Class Basketball (1, 2); Copiah-Lincoln Club; Hermenian Staff, 1928; Hermenian. Nathan is the type of man who succeeds In any vocation by virtue of his industry and honesty of purpose. He has always been fair and above board in his dealings with his fellow stu- dents. He is a worthy man in every sense, and as he has pursued his course among us in quest of his diploma, he has shown that he has grit and determination. Allen has already had two or three years of teaching experience, and for that reason he goes forth this spring with some knowledge of life to help him gain a foothold. He has multitudes of friends in all classes who will miss him when he has gone. We shall expect great things of Allen, and we shall not be disappointed. M. J. Gilbert CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Ministerial Association; Hermenian Literary Society; B. Y. P. U. President; Studen Society Debater. Among the married members of our class none takes higher rank nor fares better than Gilbert. Our hats are off to the man who can make the record in his studies that made and at the same time sustain and support a happy family as Gilbert has done, men as he lend dignity to an -«enterprise, and we are justly proud that he is a member our class. He has drunk deep of the fountain of knowledge in Little Bill’s department, a: we are sure that he will be a worthy addition to the Educational World. The interest of classmates will follow him through the years. Frederick Holloyvell, Jr. OF YAZOO CITY, MISSISSIPPI Freshman Football; “Collegian” Staff (1. 2 4); Editor Freshman Paper; Annuai Staff (4); President Sophomore Class; Honor Council (2); Executive Council (2, 4); Secretary-Treasurer Student Body (4); Freshman Baseball; Baseball (2); Varsity Football (2, 4), Secretary- Treasurer Y.

Because of his winning personality and courteous manner, Fred has always been well liked by his classmates and fellow students. A glance at his record that he has made in college will reveal the versatility of his talents. He has been active in athletic circles as well as in other extra-curricula activities, and in the classroom his work has always been very high. On the football field he manifested a fighting spirit and a never-say-die spirit that will carry hi m through many of the hardest problems that he will encounter later in life, and he will come through with colors flying. Fred will be an asset to any vocation he decides to enter. William B. Horton B. A. OF GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI Degree; Freshman Football; Varsity Football (2, 3. 4); Class Baseball President Senior Class; “M“ Club; Ministerial Student. ( 1 . 2); Vice- Horton has been “plugging away” with the Class of ’28 since the fall of 1924, and now, after a glorious season of triumph, he has arrived at the threshold of Life. Courtesy, modesty, and dependability mark him as a true gentleman. He has ever been quiet, yet determined and industrious, in his ways, and there is among his associates a sense of profound respect for him. Horton impresses one as being a man who can play his part, and we have learned that it is no false impression. Behind this man is character. We shall await with interest the word of his success in his chosen vocation, for we know that for him success is certain. Trib esman Trib esman Prentiss L. Webb LOUISVILLE, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Fellow in Biology (3, 4); Member DeMolay Club (1, 2, 3, 4); President DeMolay Club (3, 4); Tennis Team (2, 3, 4); President of Baraca Sunday School Class for Three Semesters; Three and a Half Year No Summer Club. Webb is one of Winston county’s gifts to Mississippi College, and now his Alma MateL is giving him to the world to take a high place in the affairs of men as a citizen and leader. A most likable fellow he has always been because of his jovial disposition and congenial spirit. He is a, lover of sports, especially tennis, and in his frequent visits to the courts he has developed a great skill in the handling of the racquet. His ability in this direction was recognized in his being placed on the varsity tennis team. In scholastic circles his work has also been of a very high degree, this being evidenced by the fact that he held a fellow- ship in the department of Biology. Our best wishes will follow you, Prentiss. Joseph Robert Taylor OF LOUISVILLE, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Commercial Club (1); Pre-Med Club (1, 2, 3); Librarian of German Club (4)- Fellow in Chemistry (3, 4); Special Distinction. If to finish college in three and one-half years and that with special distinction be any criterion of success, certainly this man ought some day to be president or head of something somewhere. “Bob” is one of the most brilliant members of the class, and he has made for himself an enviable reputation during his stay on the campus for these three and a half years. It was not long before his scientific bent of mind was discovered, and he was given a fellowship in the department of Chemistry, where he has made a most efficient instructor. His friends among his associates are innumerable. We prophesy that some day Taylor will be an important luminary in the chemical world, and with him as he leaves Mississippi College go our best wishes for a successful life. s Herman R. Woodruff OF YAZOO CITY, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Captain Freshman Football; Freshman Baseball, Varsity Football (2. 4); “M” Club. In the person of this man is to be found another one of the real men of the Class of ’28. He came to Mississippi College in the fall of ’24, and through thick and thin he has been true and loyal to his class ever since. Woodruff is an athlete of whom we are all proud, and time after time out on the gridiron he has fought for his Alma Mater and covered himself with distinction. He has left a distinct impression on the lives of all with whom he has come in contact, and that impression has been that he is sincere, honest, and capable. Just as he played the game of football in college, we are confident that Woodruff will smash his way past all obstacles and attain his goal in life. Troy Albert Funchess GLANCY, SISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Football (1, 2. 3); Clafss Football (1. 2. 3, 4); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Class Base- ball (1, 2. 3, ,4jj jS4anager Baseball (4); “M” Club; Hermenian. We wonder if in Mississippi College, and especially among his classmates, there “breathes a man with if in MiSsfsWpp oAj4: | , , soul so d ad” who does not know “T. A.” Funchess is one of the most popula men in the class because of his pleasing personality and his lack of affectation. He -“■ always been courteous and considerate of his fallow man, and jia has made many las, friendships among his associates. We boliefve that “Tito”— tS his favorite p ofes3or. an some day Funchess doesn’t rank as a groat economist, it won’t be because he didn’t the principles of land, labor, aitjl fcabital in Tite’s classroom. If an upright cha a desire to do that which he knows is right count for anything, we know that f his Alma Mater’s distinguished alumni. H.

He has a decided ability n,” and ui iu 0 and one of its most promising men. — — (( , in writing, in recognition of which he wa 3 elected assistant editor of the “Collegian, ' ’ and he has delighted hundreds of readers of that paper with his Freshman letters. He has made for himself a proud record during his college career, having taken part in a number of extra-curricula activities, and we know that he is going to be worth something to .the world. He aspires to be a great journalist, and with him go our best wishes for a great success in that field. We are confident that he will make his mark and some day be a great editor or novelist. W. D.

He has been an outstanding member of the class, and he has added to our prestige in many ways. He hails from Carrollton, as “Tite” has so often reminded us, and we are of the opinion that some day that old town will be prouder than she is today to call him her own son. We do not know what profession he intends to enter, but we somehow believe that he won’t be able to rub the printer’s ink off himself, and that hfe will enter the field of journalism. If he does, we predict that he will go to the top. May attend you, Neal. BI Trib esman 55 Annie Lyda Heard OF VAUGHN, MISSISSIPPI B. A. Degree; Hillman College (1, 2). Annie Lyda came to us from Hillman two years ago, and since that time she has been one of our most popular co-eds. A friendly disposition, coupled with a winning personality, has won for her many friends among the whole student body as well as among her classmates. She has ever had an active and loyal interest in her class, and always she has maintained an unselfish attitude toward her associates. We would predict for her a successful career in the professional world if we did not know that there are plenty of men in the world with sense enough to know better than let her remain single for very long after she leaves us this year. Janice Garrett OF STAR, MISSISSIPPI B. A. Degree; Clarke College (1, 2); Blue Mountain College (3). The old adage that valuable things come in small parkages seems so appropriate when one thinks of Janice that we are tempted to say here that the originator of that bit of philosophv must have foreseen her advent into this world of ours. Janice is small (or perhaps we should say “petite”), but she has such big ways, and we believe that the author of that line. “Gentlemen prefer blondes”, would never have uttered it if she could have seen our co-ed. Janice is capable, modest, and altogether lovely, and we know (in fact, we have seen evidence of it), that some day she is going to make some man feel mighty lucky and happy. M. P. Lowrev Love, Jr. OF HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree, Distinction; Glee Club (1, 2. 3, 4); Revelers (3); Secretary-Treasurer of Junior Class; Fellow in Chemistry (3, 4); “Collegian Staff (1, 2). Lowrey is one of the most capable and intelligent members of his class. He came to Missis- sippi College in the fall of ’24, and finished his course in three and one-half years, during which time he has made a brilliant record in both academic and student activities. Soon r he entered college there developed among his classmates a very great popularity for b m, and as he goes out from us he carries with him a place of high regard in the hearts of all his fellow-students. He is highly versatile in his abilities and he had not been here long before his understanding of chemistry was recognized in his being awarded a fellow- ship in that department. In class and out of class, Lowrey has proved himself to be a gentleman of culture and refinement, and with him go our best Wishes for a useful and successful life. Ray Ward f OF PRENTISS, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Freshman Football; Freshman Baseball; Scrub Football (2); Fellow in Chemistry (3. 4); Philomathean. Ray is one of the biggest assets of the Class of ’28. Ability, steadiness and sincerity are characteristics of his that have stood out in his personality, as we have known him during these three and one-half years, and these qualities of his that mark him as a man of worth nave won for him the respect of all his classmates. He leaves behind him a long list of worthy accomplishments, not the I ast oT which is the fact that as a fellow in chemistiy he was a most capable assistant to Dr. Wood in that department. He is another one of our members who elected to finish in three and one-half years, and the fact that he did so is another one of his achievements. The world is waiting for such men as Ray, and his Alma Mater is proud to send him forth as one of her representatives. 57 SHANNON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Freshman Basketball; Freshman Baseball; Varsity Basketball (2, 3, 4 ); Varsity Baseball (3, 4); President “M” Club (3); “M” Club; Philomathean. Joe entered the wigwam in the fall of ’24, and he has been a real Tribesman ever since. Be- cause of the sterling qualities he has always commanded the respect not only of his class- mates but of the whole student body as well. One can never think of Peeler without thinking of basketball, because with him the playing of that game has been truly an art. He is one of the best basketball players that Mississippi College has ever produced. In his everyday life about the campus he has been characterized by the same steadiness and poise that he has displayed on the cage courts. We confidently expect that Joe will attain a high mark in life, and to that end he goes forth from us with the best wishes of his companions. George F. Adams OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Freshman Football; Freshman Basketball; Freshman Track; Varsity Football (2, 3. 4); Varsity Basketball (2); Varsity Football (2. 3, 4); President “M” Club (4); Vice- President Student Body (4); Vice-President Junior Class; Captain Track (3); “M” Club. Among the impressionable young men who entered the portals of Choctawland in the fall ' of ’24, George was conspicuous with his presence. Few people thought then that he would develop into the versatile athlete and well qualified man in all respects that he is today, because few people at that time knew him. But George has been able to take advantage of his opportunities to prove his worth, and today he is one of the leaders in his class. He holds the admiration and respect of all his fellow-students because of the clean life he has lived among them, and op th fieh ' on prowess that is the of athletic conquest he has time after time demon- ' £ every aspiring athlete. Upon the basis of his achieve- take a j?Tfcce ments in college, we prophesy that George will enter the lists of life to leadership in the affairs of men. Joe Glenn Peeler Trib esman Sidney Barnett Garrett OF STAR, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Graduate of Clarke College, ’25; Football Squad (3); Varsity Football (4); “M” Club; Bar Association; Masonic Club; Student Body Attorney Garrett’s consideration for the interests of others, his friendliness, and his courteous bearing stamp him as being a true gentleman. All the students with whom he has any relationship at all know him to be a man of worth. Probably he is best known by some of the students as an athlete of no mean ability, for on the gridiron and on the diamond he has many times played a prominent part in bringing victory to his Alma Mater. It is needless to say that he is one of the most likable men in the class because that is obvious to all of us who ha.vp come in contact with him. We do not know what phase of life he will enter, but we feel that he has that in him that will cause him to hitch his wagon to a star. Edward Lee Morgan B.A. Degree; Graduate of Clarke College, ’25; Football Squad (3); Varsity Football Varsity Track (3); “M” Club; Basketball Squad (3, 4); Honor Coun Morgan impresses one as having at least one of the staple characteristics that enter the making of a real man — the ability to do things. He was caught in the drift of ff men to the wigwam soon after he finished his high school course, and since that tin has been one of his class’ staunchest members. He, too. is one of our athletic members, having been a member of the victorious team of 27. He always played the game fairly, honestly and faithfully, and for that reason we know that he will come through the of life with colors flying. 59 ■ Tom Smith Doty OF WINONA, MISSISSIPPI B. A. Degree ; Glee Club (1, 2. 3, 4); Vice-President Philomatheans (2); President Glee Club (4); Quartet (1, 2, 3); President Ajaxes (3); Glee Club, Publicity (2. 3); Winona Club (3); Music Club (2, 3, 4); Vice-President Music Club (4); Lee-Haywood Medal (3); ‘Tribes- man” Staff (4); Distinction. When Tom decided to remain in Winona a year, the Class of ’28 received one of its best members. His sterling character, his native ability, and his pleasing personality have won him many friends, not only in the student body and faculty, but in the community as well. In him we find one who is genteel, scholarly and steadfast in his convictions. Tom also is possessed with rare musical talent, having served on the Glee Club in each of his four years here. Tom is a staunch friend, a good student, a man of ideals. We do not hesitate to predict success for such a man as Tom, and our heartiest wish is that it may not be delinquent in its visits to him. Claude A. Boyd C. A. (4); ROGUE CHITTO, MISSISSIPPI Class Basketball (2, 3); Chairman of Feild Co-operative Club (2, 3, 4)- Y M Honor Council (4); President Copiah-Lincoln Club (4); Her ’menlan. From the Copiah-Lincoln A. H. S. Claude came to us in the fall of 1924, and although he knew no more than the rest of us that time, he is today, after four years of college life one of the promising men of our class. As student chairman for the Field Co-operative Association he has played a prominent part in student activities, and in that capacity he has come in close contact with innumerable students who are beneficiaries of that organization. They, along with countless others, have learned that Boyd is a man of sterling qualities. He has elected to enter the business world in the field of banking and, because of his general ability and seriousness of purpose, we shall not be surprised some day to read of his being elected president of some great banking institution. Thomas W. Davis OF PURVIS, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Bar Association; Hermenian Literary Society. Should anyone ask us if anything good could come From Lamar county we would point them to “Shorty and answer in the affirmative. Davis has been a most loyal Choctaw ever since he has been with us, even to the extent of feeling that the football team could not do their very best on some foreign fields unless he were there to encourage them, Profs to the con- trary notwithstanding. “Shorty” has a genial personality and a disposition to mind his own affairs that have made for him friends wherever he has gone. He has a droll humor about him, too, that has always made his companionship very pleasant. We shall miss him very much when he leaves us. but he will carry with him our best wishes for a very successful life. 6l C. B. Peugh OF ARERDEEN, MISSISSIPPI BA. Degree; Freshman Cross-Country; Scrub Track (2, 3); Class Football (3); Class Bas- ketball (4); Class Football (4); Hobo Club (1. 2. 3, 4). Peugh may be diminutive of stature, but he is not at all short in those qualities that enter into the making of a promising young man. For four years he has been plodding along with us in a quiet and earnest way, and now he has arrived at the threshold of life with a com- mendable college record behind him upon which to build for the future. “Shorty” numbers his friends among the student body by the score, and by the members of all classes he is well liked. We do not know that he has revealed just what his plans for the future are. but we prophesy that he will hold a position of responsibility in whatever occupation he enters. Truss T. Stubbs OF COLLINS, MISSISSIPPI B. A. Degree; Bar Association (1, 2. 4); Class Baseball (1, 2); (Mass Football (2); Manager Class Basketball (2); Fellow in Chemistry (4); Philomathean ; Three-Year Club; Distinction. Stubbs had not long been a member of the Class of ’28 before he impressed his classmates with the fact that he is a good and able student and a fine fellow. Since he has been among us we have all learned to respect him for all his good qualities. He has pursued a well- defined course during his stay with us, and he has done it in a quiet and unassuming way. He has aimed high, and he leaves us now with a good record behind him. Stubbs has made many friends since he entered the wigwam, and they all wish him well as he leaves us for the broad fields of life. 62 James Oscar Edmondson OF VARDAMANj MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Three-Year Club. One of the sturdiest men in the class is Edmondson. He has always been ready to do his part when called upon, and as he has pursued his course of absorbing knowledge during the past four years, he has displayed industry and a determination to succeed. He has always been courteous in his attitude toward others, and this, together with his winning personality, has kept him from being an unknown quantity to his classmates. He will be missed next year but we would not have him stay because we know his leaving us is bti a natural step in his onward march to success. Maxwell Lee PINOLA, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Manager Freshman Football; Manager Class Baseball (3); Class Football Spanish Club; Philomathean. After the excitement of our “warm” welcome had begun to subside somewhat in the fall of ’24, we looked around among our green brethren’ and discovered that Lee was one of our number. Since that time, Maxwell has been one of the best known and best liked members of our class. He is a true sport, and he goes in heartily for anything when his help is needed — especially “40 hour” education courses. Lee has always been courteous and con siderate of others, and as we have watched him, we have thought that there is somethin] in him that is some day going to take him to the top. Adios, Lee, ’till we meet again. I ■ ; j ' ;-: 63 Edward E. Thames SEMINARY, MISSISSIPPI B. A. Degree; Class Basketball (1, 2, 3, 4); Masonic Club (3, 4); Sullivan’s Hollow Club (2, 3); Hermenian. Thames is one of the jolliest and most good-humored fellows we have within the ranks of the Class of ’28. He has a personality that will not permit of his remaining a stranger to a group for a very long time. He makes friends and radiates optimism wherever he goes. Ed is a good sport, and he likes athletics to the extent that he is one of the staunchest sup- porters our teams have had this year. He has been a real Choctaw during his stay in the wigwam, and he has shown that he has an ability to do things that will some day make us hear from him. Thames will always have our best wishes because out in the battle of life we feel that he will play his part. Clyde E. Simmons OF MAGNOLIA, MISSISSIPPI Football; Scrub Varsity Football (2, 3); Class Football (2, iss Baseball (3, 4); Freshman Baseball. B. A. Degree; Freshrm ' When Simmons landed in the wigwam with the rest of that gang of Freshmen in 24, he knew no more about the why and wherefore of everything than any of the others. Today, however, he is a mature man showing the results of four years of college training. Simmons impresses one as having the ability to accomplish anything he sets himself to accomplish, he ha applied s made. Cly jr and as to whether or not he has applied himself while here in college, one can .T’dge frm the good record that he has made. Clyde has won for himself a host of friends in all t. classes of the student body, and their interest and best wishes will follow him wherever he go 1 ' V Tal 64 - T Tribesman RICHTON, MISSISSIPPI B.

And we find strength for this conviction in the fact that the Master of us all has called him into his service. Behind Lowrey is brilliant record of achievements in both scholastic and extra-curricula activities. He gi uates this spring with high honors, while perhaps his greatest work outside the classroom is the conference of Baptist students which he staged and directed last fall as its student chairman. Compere has a cheerful disposition and a smile for everybody at all tim«(s. hope that he shall attain his ambition to serve the Master in the greatest possible we hope, too, that he will some day attain his other ambition (we don’t remember hei Stubblefield OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI “Chris”, as he is called by most of those who know him well, is a quiet and likable fellow. In the four years he has spent among us he has been very modest and unassuming in h labors after his degree. Somewhere wo have read that still waters run deep, and, if th be true, we might apply it to Stubblefield and say that there must be some depth to his personality. “Chris” has found many friends among his classmates by virtue of th« that he has a friendly disposition himself. We do not know what road he will follow he leaves us, but that does not keep us from wishing him well in anything he chooses William Lowrey Compere 65 F. A. Duncan OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree. Since the day when Duncan entered the portals of Mississippi College several years ago, he has been a loyal Choctaw and a faithful member of the tribe. In pursuing his career among us he has encountered many obstacles, but he has been persistent and determined in his efforts, and within the next few weeks he will reap the reward of his labors when “Dutchie” hands him his diploma. Duncan is a steady, quiet, and conscientious fellow, with a good sense of humor that makes his personality very pleasant. Duncan commands respect wherever he goes, and throughout the student body he has found many friends. He has many qualities that make for ' success and for that reason we believe that his life will be a successful life. Tate J efferson Lindsey 5 - .. m — OF MORTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Society Debating Team; Class Cross-Country (1); Class Track (1. 2. 3, 4); Varsity Cross-Country (2, 3, 4); President of Baraca Sunday School Class; Aristrophonic English Club; Fellow in Physics (2, 4); Honor Council (4); Special Distinction; Hermenian. After four years of earnest and honest effort, Lindsey is leaving his Alma Mater with one of the highest scholastic records of any member of our class. In class work he has always been one of the shining lights of the Class of ’28. The truth of this statement is demonstrated when one recalls that he graduates this spring with high honors, and that for some time he has been stantial fellow laboratory instructor in the department of physics. Tate is a fine and -of the stuff that real men are made of. He has not idled away his time Jesse G. Cooke OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Debating Team (at C. M.

Cooke is another one of the older members of his class, but that fact has not tended to separate him from his classmates. In fact, Cooke has always been most loyal to his class, and he has ever had an active interest in its affairs. He has an air of dignity about him, a sense of conservatism, and an ability to do things, and these qualities of his personality have conspired to win for him the respect of all his fellow-students. He is the type of man who can be counted on to play his part in any emergency. Cooke is a great sport, too, and besides being missed on the campus next year, he will be missed in the cheering section oii the athletic field. A worthy Choctaw goes forth from the tribe. J. G. Jacob OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Three- Year Club; Debating Team of ' 27; Philomathean Anniversary Staff; Sever; _ Times Officer in Philomathean Society; Active Sunday School and Church Worker. Although Jacobs is somewhat older than most of us. and has not had the opportunity of spending as much time on the campus as the majority of us have had due to the fact that he is a married man, he is one of the best liked men in the class. At least that is true as concerns those who know him at all, and that number is very large. Jacobs came to us after having taught in the public schools of the state for several years, and we are glad that he decided to cast his lot with us. He has dignity, ability and soberness about him that we all admire. He has “fought a great fight” since he has been with us, especially with “Tite,” and we predict that he w ' ill rise to yet greater heights in the struggles of life. -KS- Trib esman ■■■I Oscar Newton Scofield OF COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI B.

(4); Anniversarian Hermenian Literary Society (4); Debating Team; Hermenian. Scofield is a ministerial student who has shown much industry and promise since he has been with us. We respect him because of his ability and disposition, but we respect him more because of the high calling that he has felt disposed to enter, that of special service to his Master. Scofield has been active in many circles. He has been a competent student and a great sportsman, being especially active in the field of tennis. He is a tennis player of some ability, having been for a long; time a member of the varsity tennis squad. Scofield is a gentleman and a man of determination and purpose, and for that reason we know that when he becomes an active preacher he i3 going to give Satan a world of trouble. fa.

Marion has been a familiar figure about the campus for the past three and a half years, and the great number of us who have known anything about him at all have learned to hold him in high regard, and to value his friendship very highly. He is finishing his course in less than four years, and that in itself is a mark of industry, ability and determination on his part. Marion has a keen appreciation of the esthetic values of life, and he is highly talented in the fine arts of music and painting.

He has been fair, honest, and above-board in all his dealings with his fellow students, and in countless ways he has led an exemplary life during his stay in the wigwam for the past four years. Jack is an athlete of more than average ability. For two or three seasons he has been the star first baseman on the baseball team. Bast season, in recognition of his worth and ability, his teammates elected him captain of this year’s varsity nine, and ho has given every indication that he will be a capable leader.

Mattox OF CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI B.A. Degree; Three-Year Club; Fellow In Chemistry; Special Distinction. To say that he is a scholar and a gentleman would be but transcribing a thought that naturally occurs to one when he thinks of Mattox, for Mattox, in his everyday life among us, has come to be so regarded by most of his associates. This dark-haired, dark-eyed man is one of the most promising members of his class. He has displayed many qualities and traits since he has been among us that pronounce him a man of genuine ability. He is clean in his habits, dignified in his bearing, and modest in his approach, so that all who come in contact with him learn to respect him. For some time William has been an assistant in the department of science. As he leaves us, we can prophesy with confidence that the world will make way for him wherever he goes. Harlan J.

Estelle began her course at Hillman, but in the last two years here she has shown us clearly the earnestness, the sincerity, the conscientiousness which seem to form such an essential part of her. She is a fine type of student. Finishing in three years with distinction describes more accurately than anything else the quiet, reserved, thoroughly efficient manner she has of accomplishing her aims. Beneath this spirit of meekness is an undeniable spirit of friend- liness and sweet smile. That her future may be bright and happy is the wish of the class. Olivia Moore OF BRANDON, MISSISSIPPI B. A.

She has an ever- present smile that is always radiating happiness to everyone she meets.

Yet that one year has been enough to establish popularity among the students and to mark her as an outstanding co-ed.

Swor Secretary-Treasurer Junior History In the fall of ’25 there appeared on the giant class tree of Mississippi College a large green hud. Many buds had appeared before and blossomed into splendid classes, but that was the largest bud that had ever been seen on the tree. That bud, dear readers, was the Class of ’29, and it was made up of some two hundred fellows. All types of the ’’genus homo” were to be found in that group, but they were soon seized and bound together by that m ' ghty phantom, College Spirit. Nearly three years have passed since that noble band of Papooses first came to the wigwam of the Choctaws, and the majority of them are still here. True, some were victims of circumstance, a few were unable to make the grade, and a few, having their eyes on some bright goal, doubled their work to get in the three-year class, but we still number around a hundred and twenty. We may well hold up our heads with pride, for we have accomplished many things. We won most of the class championships in our freshman year, and all of them but spring track last year. We had one of the best freshman football teams in the history of the school. We were well represented both last year and this, on all the varsity teams. In musical circles we have been more than well represented. A number have made band, orchestra and Glee Club all three years. This year there are five in “The Revelers,” eight in the Glee Club, and a number in the band. In the realms of oratory we have not been so well represented as some classes, but we can- not expect to have everything. However, we have been well represented in all religious activ- ities, and many of us have contributed regularly to the “Collegian.” We attribute not a little of our success to those three good and true men — Bill Stovall, Fred Hollowed, and Shelby Price, whom we chose for our chief executives.

S. U. Council Miss Jacqueline Senter Sponsor Ministerial Association George M. Bohler Director of Athletics Coach Bohler is the man behind the bow and arrow for the Indian tribe. Since his installation as the Big Chief mentor, he has been indirectly responsible for the great success of our athletic teams. Within the past few years he has turned out championship teams that have attracted the attention of the Southland. The Mississippi Col- lege team topped the S. I. A. A. last season in football, due to the master mind and strategy of this man. He has proven himself a capable and excel- lent coach, because he knows his men and the game. Never was a coach more respected than is he, by the entire student body. He leaves us this spring and goes to Auburn to take charge of athletics there. Griff C. Lee Fresh man C oach Coach Lee needs no introduction to sport lovers of Mississippi. About seven years ago Griff was wearing the blue and gold, being a stellar player in all sports, so he is a known product of Mississippi College with the interest of his Alma Mater at heart. He is liked by all, both on and off the athletic field, and can cer- tainly produce a fighting team. Besides acting as head freshman coach, he is Coach Bohler’s right arm man, handling last season the scouting end of the job. Coach Lee has turned out several bright prospects the past season who will make a strong bid for berths on the varsity next year. He also has charge of the gymnastic work. i33 “M Club (Horton and Hollingsworth missing.) Branch, Hackett, Denton H. Lee Blaine, Adams Cliburn Hammond, Garrett, Scofield Pryor Johnson, R.

With the indomitable fighting spirit as warriors of old, the Braves crushed some of the South’s best gridiron teams and ran roughshod over adversaries picked to down them. We have witnessed a season of eight successive victories, and stand as one of the few teams of our nation undefeated. The sportsmanship has not been marred by a blotted record. In all of these eight straight triumphs there was only one opponent able to cross the mighty Indian’s goal line. Who would have dared guess the outcome of the season last September? On the first of September aspirants for berths on the Choctaw eleven began practice. The first workout found forty men in uniform. Under the direction of Coaches Bohler and Lee the little band of war- riors toiled in the dust and grime under a blazing merciless summer sun. Long and weary were the hours of practice as the squad was whipped into shape for the approaching game, scarcely three weeks off. These faithful warriors whimpered not at their punishment, but with that everlasting unquenchable spirit they sacrificed themselves to be molded as needed. Soon the rough spots had been smoothed out, and friction somewhat eliminated— the assembling of a powerful machine. Eight games stared the light Choctaw team in the face, of which only half could be counted as victories by the most optimistic of our followers. The season started off with a smashing victory over the brilliant Bulldogs from Union Uni- versity, the final score being 18 to o, the opening tally being made by Captain Lee on a pass. The next game found the Choctaws invading the campus of Louisiana College, and there un- leashed a dazzling air attack that completely swamped the Bulldogs. The first half was hard- fought and close, but in the second half the Choctaws unleashed the passing attack that spelled defeat for many of the teams this season. The next week saw the Mississippi College boys win handily from their ancient rivals, Millsaps. The same type of ball was played as had been used so far in the season — that is, defensive ball the first half. They encountered a much stiffer opposition, and only made two touchdowns, while they held Millsaps at bay through the fracas. Hitt, in the second quarter, shot a pass to Garrett, who dashed through the secondary defense, to be downed on the io-yard line. Hitt, on two successive tries, then smashed over tackle with Crawford hanging on, for the first tally. The final tally was made on a pass from Hitt to B. Lee. In the final quarter Millsaps blocked a punt and recovered on the one-yard line, but lacked the necessary punch to put it over, and when the ball went over to the Choctaws on the fourth down it was out on the io-yard line. It was a big day for the Indians, for “ere that day was done, another Millsaps scalp had taken its accustomed place and was dangling from the waistline of a still hungry Choctaw.” The Choctaws won their fourth straight game the following Saturday against the powerful Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. It was the best and hardest fought game of the season, and resulted in a close score of 7 to o for the Choctaws. I he lone tally was made on a pass from Dickerson Tribesman 19 2 8 � i f ra to B. Lee. Murphy was the outstanding player of the game. All the line played their usual game and withstood the jabs of the opponents to almost perfection. H. Lee made several nice runs. The game was played in Monroe, and some hundred or more students with the entire personnel of our band was there and showed the Creole State the ol’ Choctaw pep ! Howard College of Birmingham was the next victim for the Braves, the game being played on Homecoming Day before a large crowd of alumni and friends. Although outweighed, the Tribe hung up its fifth straight victory. Branch received a pass and stepped off forty yards through a broken field for the first tally. In the third quarter, after working the ball down the field by bucks, runs and passes, Vic Metts plowed through for five yards and a second touch- down. The line played stellar ball, while the backfield was up to its usual good form. Birmingham-Southern was the next to feel the tomahawk. The Braves won their sixth straight game, but were scored upon for the first time of the season. Two fumbled punts and an intercepted pass gave Southern her three tallies. The Choctaws played brilliant ball, how- ever, and scored 33 points to win the greatest see-saw game of the year. The dazzling air attack was the downfall of the Panthers. The entire team played good ball, with the attack centered around Hitt, the heaver of the leather oval. On Friday, November 18, the Choctaws conquered the third Louisiana team of the season, Southwestern. Playing stubborn ball, the wall of the Westerners seemed nigh impregnable, but in the third quarter the Choctaws cut loose with their far-famed air attack and quickly had several notches on their limb. Hitt heaved a forty-five-yard pass to B. Lee. In the final quarter Hitt thrilled the crowd with a run of fifty yards on a return of a punt after the gun had shot, marking the end of the game. The ball was in the air as the gun was shot, so the marker was allowed, the final score being 27 to o I hanksgiving found the Warriors far away from home, in Lakeland, Florida, where South- ern College offered stiff opposition. Playing a defensive game and taking advantage of breaks at the right time and unleashing the passing attack, the Floridians fell before the Warriors by the score of 13 to o. Fifteen out of twenty-five passes were completed, to make a nice average. The backfield played in excellent form and the line that had kept every team from scoring through it was at its height. A review of the season is most gratifying to every alumni of the institution. It was not a team of individual stars that represented Mississippi College on the gridiron, but rather a team of eleven men — a solid unit of strength, mixed with brains. There was no one about which the attack could be centered, but the secret was teamwork. It was a crowning success of Coach Bohler’s fifth year as head mentor, and long will he be remembered for his noble efforts. Mississippi College held out a strong claim for the S. I. A. A. championship, having won more association games than any other team in the association, and being undefeated. As those noble athletes depart from us this year, having played their last game for the Blue and Gold, the undying gratitude of their Alma Mater goes out to them. It has been Mississippi College’s year. All hail the Blue a nd Gold! i 1 Burnham Lee, Captain End To “Dog Lee,” all-state end, the honor is given of marching at the head of the victorious Choctaws. He is one of the all round athletes that we so frequently hear mention of in college circles. To be in the midst of foes, leap up, and snag the pigskin, shake off and evade tacklers was a “Dog”-gone good trick of his. He led our team to victory with a spurt not to be denied. Lost by graduation this year, one of the cleanest and most popular players that the Choctaw squad has thrown off for the last time. Stanfield Hitt, Captain-Elect Quarter Dick experienced his second year on the regulars this fall and proved to be the mainstay in the backfield. He is truly a triple threat man, who constantly carries out his threats. He is a height of power on the offense, being a hard line smasher and a good punter, but his passing has won him the distinction of being one of the best in the entire Southland — we think he is the best. Dick has won the confidence of every Choctaw ? supporter and we feel sure that as captain of the 1928 squad he will bring greater victories to his school. Bela Chain, Tackle The best thing said about this “red-headed” youth from Sullivan Hollow is that he never knows when the time comes to cease fighting. This was his second and big year as tackle. Time after time he has thrown the opposing backs for losses and was constantly an obstacle in the paths of his foes. Chain was also a big support in the forward wall. He is admired and liked by all, both on the field and off and his faithful service and performance w T ill be long remembered. 138 Hr if l 1 1 Edwin Duncan, End Speed is this fellow’s middle name, for he had it to burn, and he exhibited it in every game. Ed, as he is familiarly knowm, is a nice receiver and a sure tackier. Duncan is in his prime while going down under punts and delights in throwing the safety man in his tracks. When a certain formation needed a speedy back to circle the ends, he was shifted to the back- field and would flash around the terminals for nice gains. The place he leaves will be hard to fill. I Miller Conn, Guard One of the first essentials to a good football player is the determination to fight. “Pardner” ' possessed quantities of this stuff, and a lot of good playing was the result. While he was in the game, he repulsed many a play aimed at his side and his actions on the field were of the highest caliber. Besides playing guard, he has filled in at tackle when needed. He should be back next year and have an even more glorious season. Leslie Johnson, Center “Taterhead,” playing his second year of varsity ball proved to be one of the big pillars , in the forward wall. While in the game he is one of the most serious and hardest workers on the team. He alternated at guard and is a strong power at both positions, always being in the thickest of the fighting. His work in all of the games, though not stellar, was consistent, giving at the right time the extra punch to open up for his backs, or to smash up some line drive. 139 l ) W. B. “Deacon Horton, Tackle Resting up a year, he returned to his Alma Mater and showed us some sure enough fight. Whenever a tackle was made in or near his position, Deacon was usually the man who brought him down. He plays a wonderful game, both on offense and defense. The work he did as an old veteran in putting the proper spirit into the men is unestimable. Through the past season he has been consistently responsible for great gaps in the opposition wall. He will long be remembered for his performance for the tribe. Fred Hollowell, Guard “Freddie” is a guard who guards; in other words, all the time he is in the game he is fighting. Although the lightest man in the line, he came through wonderfully and paved the way more than once for numerous gains. Also, he is a dependable defense worker, slipping through and smashing up line drives. He says, it’s not the biggest man who wins but the quickest on the draw, and “Freddie” is not a bit slow. He stands for fighting spirit first, last and all the time. Beatty Murphree, Center “Treetop” can always be identified from the rest because of his height and sorrel top hair. This titan, although a sophomore, is an old-timer, and proved himself to be an iron man in the line. This six-footer, time after time, crashed into Tech’s offense and spoiled many a play, playing his best game of the season against them. The gratifying part is that Murphy has two more years to perform for the tribe and great things are to be expected from him. 140 Henry Dickerson, Quarter Dick is a full-blooded Irishman and if Irish means scrap, everyone who saw the Choctaws in action know that he is full-blooded. Besides acting as field general, he shifts to half, where he utilizes his speed in circling the terminals. It was his true pass to B. Lee that scored the lone touchdown against L. P. I. Not only is he a crafty quarter, but also a fleet safety. As he departs, he carries with him a record of clean sportsmanship and the gratitude of his Alma Mater. Hugh Lee, Halfback “Smily” is one of those quiet fellows on the field who can always be counted on to do their share, and just a little bit more. Smiles of approval from the coaches greeted nearly every run of Lee’s. “Smily” is one of those powerful backs who gains ground consistently, and best of all when it is needed. He is one of the best broken-field runners in the country. Lee should prove a valuable man to the Choctaw ' s next year. William “Vick” Metts, Fullback “Vick” is one of the first year men on the varsity, and he made a fine showing. During the Union game he sustained an injury that kept him on the bench most of the season. His hard tackling and blocking won for him a reputation. He is an aggressive full, often meet- ing the men before they reached the line of scrimmage and throwing them for losses. Two more bright years are facing him, and he’ll bear watching, too. IT « 4 « V Edwin Morgan, Guard “Cutie” came to Mississippi College from Clarke College where he received his first foot- ball experience. After a year of gruelling and training under Coach Bohler, a favorable sum- mer of hard work, he returned to school in the best of physical condition. He greatly im- proved over last year and played in practically every game. During the game with South- western, this chap was knocked “coo-coo,” but rather than admit it was one of the Louisiana boys, he replied “My sweetie slapped me.” He was a good guard and deserves lots of credit. Henry Provine, End “Sonny” is not just another man, but perhaps is outstanding for his ability to put a boot under the pigskin, and send it flying down the field. Sam is not only a good punter, but also on end, plays a fine game, being a sure and hard tackier. Although injured about the middle of the season, he came back with a whirl that earned for him the coveted “M.” “Sonny” has earned the name of a scrapper and a good all round football player. Alton Branch, Guard Alton is outstanding for his faithfulness, and one fact is most evident; he is always ready to go with no great priming. Besides playing guard, he has played the role of an end. His hard fighting has been often a thorn to many opposing backs. Alton has donated four years of hard labor to the advancement of the squad, and w r hen a letter was given, he well deserved to receive one. He has finished out his allotted time and will not be seen in action on the athletic field any more. 19 2 8 a I � i Tribesman George Adams, Halfback Adams, fleet halfback of the victorious Choctaws, was another victim of unkind fate. In scrimmage prior to the opening game, he wrenched a knee, and this trick of misfortune kept him on the side line most of the season. George is a cool, accurate passer, and also a good receiver, but his most outstanding feature is his speed and natural ability to evade tacklers. His injury was a blow to the squad, for this speed demon is one of the fastest men ever to grace a blue and gold uniform. Ras Branch, End Ras Branch was another who suffered from the fate of injury. Just before the opening game, this stellar wingman had the misfortune to break his shoulder and the season was well under swing before he was able to join the squad, but when he did he proved to be poison to the opponents. His work on defense and his snatching of passes from the ozone w ' as well w T orth seeing. He has one more year in which to serve his Alma Mater and all are looking forward to his greatest year. Upton Black, Halfback Upton did his usual stuff this year, plowing through the line on offense and tackling hard on defense. Open field running and line rushes are “U’s” special, and he has smashed through the line for nice gains. Besides playing halfback, he has been shifted to fullback, where he is able to back up the line par excellent. He has one more year on the squad and w T ill be seen in other battles before the final tale is told. 143 nr IT Sidney Garrett, Halfback Garrett has been a hard and steady worker on the squad ever since he came here. He is one of the best receivers and a good runner. His wide, sweeping end runs and line smashing plays, drew in practically every game favorable criticism from the sidelines. Despite his lack of brawn, his gameness and scrap made up for his loss in weight. He can tackle and run interference like a veteran. May he always be as big a success as he has been in Mississippi College. H erman Woodruff, Fullback After a year’s lay-off to allow a cracked ankle to heal, he answered the call of the grid- iron again, and showed that the old spirit had not died. He is one of the hardest line smashers to hit Mississippi in many a day and tore through every line attempted. “Woodie” is a hard tackier and on offense he deals misery when it comes to running interference for his mates. When the call comes for practice next season he will surely be missed. Allen Barefield, Manager Manager Barefield was an important part in Mississippi’s streak of victories. Although unable to accompany the machine on the field, he was nevertheless an important cog, and did his best to eliminate all unnecessary friction. “Baby,” as he is more or less known by the boys, was a hard worker and well does he deserve his letter. That smile and those handsome features almost caused us to lose him on some of the trips. W IT « 4 + VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, 1 927 Freshman Football The 1927 freshman football team enjoyed a most successful season. Although not as successful as their elder w arriors, the young Papooses displayed brilliant ability and hung up a good record. Some of the teams that felt the tomahawk of the baby Indians were Hinds County Aggies, Sunflower Aggies, and Delta Teachers College. The season was very pleasing, especially from the viewpoint of fur- nishing men for the ’28 eleven. Strong competition is expected from the rat squad next year. The following men were awarded numerals: Abernathy, Harlan, Carl Ott, Ford, Waller, McClendon, Rogers, Duncan, Percy Lee, McElveen, Oliver, Bishop and “Andy Gump” Montgomery, as man- ager. 146 S’ ■ Tribesman 19 2 8 Chain, Forward Captain His selection to captain the 1928 quintet marks with distinction the end of an illustrious career on the indoor courts. “Red” directed the team from the forward position both on the offense and defense. Captain Chain’s eye for the basket was good, and he always displayed a fast floor game. A first class, all-round man who plays the game clean and square. Denton, Guard “Zeus” was one of the main cogs in the Choctaw quintet. He runs the floor, passes, and has a fine habit of ringing them from the middle of the court. He is always there to get the ball off the board and hurl it to a waiting team mate, and when it comes to guarding — well, he’s a guard that guards. He has one more year to spend in a Choctaw uniform. Peeler, Center, Forward This long and lanky warrior rose to the heights this season, and played the greatest ball of his entire career. “Sparky’s” footwork and passing was ever clever and when right he heaves a wicked long shot. His work under the basket was always outrtanding. Joe alternated at both center and forward and filled each capably. 149 Tribesman 19 2 8 Lee, Guard “Sheriff” was another one of the boys who hit his stride this season. Just some more of the same flash and fight that he always displayed on the diamond and gridiron. He was a tower of strength on the defense, while on the offense he had a mean habit of dropping them in from the center of the court. He finishes this year. Nutt, Forward Noel, experienced his first year of varsity basketball and proved to be one of the team’s best workers. He proved that he w r as a good hardwood worker by playing a fast game and shooting them from all angles of the court. Nutt is one of those fellows that Coach knows will play the game hard, and can always be relied upon to deliver the necessary punch. Branch, Center , Forward “Legs” is another sophomore taking his first shot at the basketball game at Mississippi Col- lege. He played at the tip-off position and al- ternated at forward when needed. Branch’s height enabled him to do excellent work under the wicker. He will be back next year and with his added experience should show up well in the future. 150 Tribesman 19 2 8 Myers, Guard George displayed his ability at guard by his consistently hard work and scrapping every min- ute of the game. Although playing his first year, he greatly improved and developed into a good basketeer at the close of the season. He was called on many times during the year and always proved himself worthy. Two more brilliant seasons of basketball lie before George and we are expecting great things of him. Herrmann, Forward Another graduate of last year’s freshman basketball team is Johnny. He filled in ex- ceptionally well whenever called upon. His play- ing through the entire season was of the highest type. “Humpy” is a clever dribbler and his floor work is always far above reproach, for he is fast on the floor. When at his right form, he sinks the ball into the wicker from all angles. Much is expected of him next year. Conn, Manager “Pardner Ben” was a very efficient manager for the 1928 basketball machine. He was ad- mired by all the team and the students as well. The manager has a lot to do with the success of the team, and Conn did his share. He has worked hard for the team and never known to shirk a duty. 151 MT nr Co-Ed Basketball 1 ‘or the first time in the history of the institution, a girls team represented Mis- sissippi College. The sextette, under the direction of Coach Smart, made rapid strides forward and were a fast bunch at the end of the season. Working under difficulties, and with few reserves, the Squaws had a fairly good season, winning half of their games. I he team displayed clever pass work and good co-operation. They were a fight- ing little bunch, which is just a natural trait of the Tribe. It is the belief of many that girls basketball at Mississippi College will become a drawing card, as it is cen- trally located and games with other girl teams can be easily arranged. ’ Score, 1927 M.

The record of the young basketeers was one that upset the prediction of sport oracles. Many teams can testify to the perfect passing, and accurate goal throwing of the freshman five. They had a hard struggle in some cases, but with that con- tinuous scrap and fight, they usually rose to the heights. Led by Rogers, unanimous choice for center, for the all-American squad of High School Teams last year, who proved to be the hub of the quintet, the five hung up a good record. Besides Rogers, Duncan, Lee, Abernathy and Slay seemed to over- shadow the rest of the squad. All of these men seem destined to give the varsity men a good run next year.

The greatest basketball season ever experienced by Mississippi Collge. A major portion of the credit for the great season should go to the master mind which pro- duced so powerful a cage crew T , and the w r izard who built up the brave basketeers to Southern champions was Coach George Bohler. The Indians flashed through the great season with 24 victories out of 25 contests, and amassed a total of 1,323 points to 725 points for all their opponents. They averaged 53 points per game. Mississippi College annexed the state championship by winning four games from Millsaps, and both of their games with A. and M., who in turn walloped Ole Miss four straight. The Clinton team won the S. I. A. A. tournament held at Chattanooga by defeating the University of Chattanooga in the final game, 44-40. They previously had won over Oglethorpe and Birmingham-Southern. By many sport followers they were acclaimed the “Little Celtics” of Southern collegiate basketball. The keen sunlight of publicity has shone brilliantly on the Mississippi College team and has thrown into the lime light several figures. Led by Captain “Red” Chain, crafty cage gen- eral, the Indians had a leader equal to anyone who ever lived. Three men, Branch, Lee and Peeler, landed berths on the all-S. I. A. A. team w ' hile Chain was named on the second team. These men are four of the greatest basketball men ever to grace a hardwood floor. Denton was the leading defensive player on the squad. Myers, Nutt and Herrmann filled in nicely and will in the future become some of Dixie’s leading basket- ball men. Lee, Peeler and Chain leave us this year, and as they depart they carry with them the deep appreciation of their collegemates and a 11 Mississippi. It has been our year. M.

He is conscientious on the diamond and flashes of his plays are brilliant. You can tell at the outset he belongs to the diamond. He broke up several games with timely wallops. Hollingsworth, Captain-Elect and First Base The long shadow of Jack has filled Mississippi’s field with capability and sureness. With his height and reach, Jack is able to pull down bad throws, and it also enables him to cover his area to perfection. Hollingsworth is a heavy hitter who slams them out as his achievement of the last game the past season indicated. Peeler, Catcher “Sparky” shares the honor on the receiving end, and handles it creditably, too. He has a nice whip, and plays a steady game. Joe is ever there in a pinch and the good thing is that he delivers at the most needed time. Wilson, Second Base Lewis worked at the other side of the keystone and was the sacrificial artist in the batting order. His brilliant covering is accurate and he plays a steady game. Speed and Wilson are synonyms; and both spell misery for the other side. 156 w nr Hitt, Pitcher “Dick” has distinguished himself in athletics at Mississippi College. He has a fast-ball that spells agony for the opponents. “Dick” has fair control and is a good slugger. He will be back two more years. Dickerson, Third Base “Dick” held down the hot corner of the diamond and did it creditably, too. He was an artist at scooping up ground balls and whipping them to the first sack. Throughout the season his playing was above reproach and he displayed good judgment and ability. Denton, Pitcher “Zeus” is a twirler who whips ’em down the alley with a lot of smoke. He is a con- tinuous puzzle to the batter, for he has a keen analysis of the position. His perseverance has pulled him safely out of many a hole. Thames, Pitcher “Lefty” Thames, with an excellent freshman record behind him, showed up equally well this season. He is left-handed, has good control, and is a remarkable hitter for a first rate pitching artist. He won, last season, from Millsaps on four consecutive times. 157 Garrett, Outfield Coming with a good record as a football man from Clarke College, Garrett proved him- self to be an equally good baseball man. He is a fine outfielder, being able to range free and wide. Although batting in hard luck all season, he made up by his excellent fielding. Branch, Outfield A consistent player — this Branch boy. Ras’s work in the outer garden was above par, as he performed perfectly and steadily. When he connects up with the pill right, it takes wings immediately. He has two more brilliant years to serve hi. Alma Mater. Hackett, Outfield Experiencing his first year on the varsity nine, Hackett came through the season like a warrior of old. He is a good ranger, and a good, consistent hitter. “Junie” has another season to serve his Alma Mater, and we predict greater things yet. Provine, Manager The manager of any team has a hard job which attracts little praise and commendation. Sam filled the position well, and both the college and team are indebted to him. Let’s give fifteen rousing ones for Sam, Sam, Blind Sam! 158 VARSITY BASEBALL SQUAD, 1927 m Baseball, 1927 As the Tribesman gees to press, members of the 1928 baseball team are beginning their daily workouts on Provine Field. With only one letter man lost from the team, the squad this year bids fair to becoming one of the best that the Choctaws have ever boasted. With Jack Hollingsworth, stellar first baseman of last year, as captain, the batsmen of ' 28 are going to attempt to hang up a record that will long be re- membered. Thames, Hitt, Funchess and Denton, pitchers of last season, and Mc- Crory, a sophomore, will be contending for honors as slab artists. Peeler and John- son, also last year’s squad, will probably constitute the receiving end of the battery. Hollingsworth, Lee, Dickerson, Moore, Crigler, Metts and Herrmann will be can- didates for infield; while Hachett, Garrett, Black, Branch, and others will be out chasing flies for positions in the outfield. The schedule for the coming season includes games with Northwestern University of Chicago, the University of Wisconsin, Southwestern of Louisiana, L. P. I., Cen- tenary, Millsaps and games with A. and M. are pending. The team of 1927 had a most successful season, winning eight inter-collegiate games and losing only five, thus making a percentage of something over six hundred. Sheriff Lee, star shortstop and hitter, captained the crew that handed out four straight defeats to Millsaps and downed other foes of the Tribesmen. From the moment that “Lefty” Thames pitched the first ball to L. P. I. until the time that Jack Hollingsworth poled out his memorable homer in the last half of the fifteenth inning in the final game with Millsaps, the boys under the tutelage of “Goat” Hale were busy every day. With only two letter men as a nucleus, Coach Hale faced an uphill fight to put out a winning team, but with the hard work of the ever-fighting Choctaws, the team was made. The record shows the results of Coach’s work. In the final game of the season with Millsaps, a most spectacular pitching duel was staged between Lefty Thames and Swango, of the Majors. In the fifteen innings, both pitchers allowed only three hits each. In the first half of the ninth inning, Mill- saps got two of their three bingles; Hackett, however, saved the game when he threw Moody out in home all the way from left field. In the last half of the fifteenth, Jack Hollingsworth, captain-elect for 1928, knocked out the home run that won the game. Results of the last year’s games are as follows: L. P. 1 1 ; L. P. I 6; University of Wisconsin 4 University of Wisconsin 4 5 University of Iowa 5 University of Iowa 3 J Millsaps 1 ' Centenary Centenary 5 Millsaps 1 y Loyola 12 Millsaps 2 J Millsaps o; Mississippi College 8 Mississippi College 2 Mississippi College 2 Mississippi College 3 Mississippi College 6 Mississippi College 8 Mississippi College 3 Mississippi College 10 Mississippi College 2 Mississippi College 3 Mississippi College 10 Mississippi College 8 Mississippi College 1 160 mm Blaine, Captain Cross-Country 161 W Duncan, Captain Track I SPRING TRACK SQUAD I BAREFI ELD BLACK MORGAN BLAINE ADAMS DASHES 5PFU NTS -DISTANCE DISTANCE DISTANCE -DASHES HURDLE -DASHES DUNCAN SPRINTS TRACK Captain Jimmie Blaine and his cohorts of mara- thon runners placed this sport another step ahead in its recognition of athletic circles. At t he word of the big chief some sixty thinly-clad lads came out to the track and began immediately to attract severe cases of shin splints. As long hours of jog- ging doggedly over the neighboring roads passed, the cross-country squad was slowly but surely being whipped into shape. The first meet was disastrous, as the warriors fell before the A. and M. Bulldogs. Not discouraged the Warriors journeyed to Birmingham just before the Christmas holidays and there made a clean sweep of the field, winning for the fourth consec- utive time the S. I. A. A. cross-country cup for first place. The spring track of 1927 made an equally good record. Under the capable leadership of Sid Robin- son, holder of the quarter-mile Southern record, the spring practice broke into full sway with a full squad out. Evening after evening the cinder paths were crowded with aspirants, and a matter of select- ing the best crew was a puzzle. The annual spring track event, conducted under the auspices of Birmingham Athletic Club, found 164 ) I miler - dashes CROSS-COUNTRY SIMMONS H IGH JUMP-BROAD JUMP BRANCH WEIGHTS MURPHY DISTANCE -SPRINTS . the Choctaws present in flying colors. George Adams led the field in the 220 low hurdles and hung up a new record, he also placed in the ioo-yard dash and the broad jump. Ras Branch won first place in shot-put, second in discus and third in javelin. Duncan, Barefield, Hitt, Travis, Simmons and Black did excellent track work and as a result of the combined efforts of all, Mississippi College won a good third place in the meet. The best meet was the S. L. I. in Louisiana. L. S. U., Loyola, L. P. I., Louisiana College, Cen- tenary and Mississippi College were the schools represented. The quarter-mile relay team nosed out the L. S. U. team to win first place. Adams, Black, Duncan and Barefield composed this group. In the half-mile relay, L. S. U. led the race with Missis- sippi College running a close second. George Adams placed second in broad jump, while Simmons dupli- cated by winning the high jump. Blaine and Duncan also placed in other events. Cliburn won second place in the mile. Adams represented Mississippi in the dashes at the National meet at Chicago and made a creditable showing. It was especially noticeable, the interest that was manifested by the freshman candidates and some real ability was uncovered among the first year Warriors. Many of them will offer keen competi- tion for varsity berths next year. TRAVIS POLE VAULT HAMMOND MANAGER Tribesman 19 2 8 For those who do not aspire for laurels on the athletic field, gym exercises are provided. Missis- sippi College is fortunate enough to have several thousand dollars worth of the latest gym equipment, and one of the best gyms in the entire South, so lovers of indoor work find ample equipment. Under the able direction of Coach Lee, gym, boxing and wrestling classes have been organized. Various cal- isthenics exercises are given regularly. Everyone except those having a physical handicap are required to take some form of exercise. elf CAPTAIN 7 SCOFIELD o 167 nltess «ar vBWl . ' A .£S ■ TENNIS CLUB VARSITY TENNIS TEAM Tribesman 1 68 TENNIS Tennis is fast becoming one of the best-liked sports at Mississippi College, judging from the number of students that engage in it. Due to the fact that such a large interest was shown in the game, tennis was raised to the file of a major sport two years ago. The tennis team, under the efficient coaching of Dr. Ford, once Southern collegiate single champion, has been chosen from the large ranks of racqueteers. Although not performing with the brilliancy of our football or basketball teams, they have managed to acquit themselves creditably. Unfavorable weather conditions have forced several engagements to be cancelled, and at present only a few matches have been played. However, with the approach of spring, more interest is being manifested. Games have been ar- ranged with Vicksburg, Tennis Club, McComb, Jackson, Yazoo City and other nearby clubs. In all probability the tennis squad will meet Centenary, L. P. I. Millsaps, Howard College, and other Southern college teams. They should make a strong bid for the S. I. A. A. tournament this spring. The Indians have several good men who handle a wicked racquet, and we are expecting a good account of them this spring. 169 TRIBESMAN “ STAFF T 1328 DICKERSON EDITOR-IN-CHlEfc HAMMOND BUSINESS MGR.
