THE PIONEER 19 19 VOLUME V PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF HILLMAN COLLEGE CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI 81343 DEDICATION To him who gives to his work the Enthusiasm of Youth, the Vitality of Manhood, the Wisdom of Age; to him who gives to his students the Confidence of Comradeship, the Faith of Friendship, and the Loyalty of Love; to MARK PERRIN LOWREY BERRY do we dedicate this fifth volume of The Pioneer -3 a Annual Staff Kathryn Coggin, Ediior-in-Chief Rebecca Davis, Business Manager Lola McDonald, Athletic Editor Mabel Baldwin, Assistant Editor Myrtle Lassetter, Literary Editor Erneze Butler, Art Editor Mildred Lee Byrd, Business Manager Marion Clinkscales, Literary Editor Anniefrank Houston, Art Editor Ella B. Dyess, Extra Editor M. P. L. Berry, Faculty Advisor Page five J W. T. LOWREY, D.D., LL.D., President It has often been said that Dr. W. T. Lowiey has done more for Christian education in Mississippi than any other man in the State. For thirty years he has been a college president. . The three colleges over which he has presided are Blue Mountain, Mississippi, and Hillman. He is truly one of the South’s greatest men. M. P. L. Berry, Vice-President Mr. Berry, our worthy vice-president, is one of the most popular men on the campus. His pleasing smile, geniality, “Good Morning, White Folks,” and inestimable worth have won for him the love of the student body and the faculty. Besides being vice-president, Mr. Berry is our efficient science teacher and general manager. B. G. Lowrey, LL.D., Field Secretary Dr. B. G. Lowrey s chapel talks are worth all it costs to go to college a year. H.s many years in college work have given him ripe experience. For thirteen years he was president of Blue Mountain College and then for seven years he was president of Amarillo Military Academy. He is known far and wide as one of our greatest educators. He has a big brain and a bigger heart. Page six Mrs. B. G. Lowrey, Lady Principal How could Hillman do its best if Mrs. Lowrey was not Lady Principal? She is a sweet, sincere, gentle woman whom we all lo.e. She has great executive ability, and is a marvelous woman in many ways. Her Christian influence is felt by every one. She teaches physiology and mothercraft. She had five stars in her service flag. It s no wonder she loves young folks. Mrs. M. P. L. Berry, Assistant General Manager Mrs. Berry holds the world’s record for speed. We challenge anybody to do anything quicker than Mrs. Berry can do it. She studied voice in Boston, New York, New London and o’.her places, and taught voice until recently, but gave it up this year to give her lime to shopping for the girls, nursing “flu,” etc. She’s “the sweetest singer in Israel.’’ Miss Margaret Bennett, Expression Miss Bennett has been connected with Hillman College longer than any of the faculty. She taught here when she was younger, then taught in other colleges in Virginia and Mississippi. She has made a great success of her work and we consider her one of the best expression teachers in the State. We like her loyalty, sincerity and faithfulness. Page seven Miss Lynn Lowrey, English Miss Lowrey has been at the head of the English Department for two years and we feel that no one could take her place. She is always cheerful and happy. In her we find a true and gentle friend, ever ready to help or give a word of suggestion. She is a graduate of Blue Mountain College. Miss Ethel Moody, Latin and Education Miss Moody starts us out with “amo, amas, amat. We wonder why she doesn t discuss that verb with some handsome man and quit teaching. Miss Moody is an energetic little woman, a friend and a helper ,to all. She has a kind word and a cherry smile for everyone. She takes great interest in Y. W. A. and in “star gazing.” Miss Alla Mayze Bailey, Mathematics Miss Bailey has the Math. Department, the most unpopular branch in Hillman College. She was prob- ably the most unpopular teacher in school the first month of the session, but as the students learned her solid worth and her sincerity she began to grow in favor, and is now one of the most popular teachers in Hillman College. Page eight © Miss Ele Steele, French and History Miss Steele is not only an honored graduate of our own institution but has the distinction of being one of the three lady graduates of Mississippi College. She left no less glorious record behind her at M. C. than at Hillman, graduating with special distinction in a large class of young men. She is a charming and brilliant young woman. Miss Isabel Clark, Piano Miss Clark hails from far away Portland, Oregon, but we are glad that she came South to make her fortune.” She is a graduate of New England Conservatory and a pupil of some of the greatest Ameri- can pianists. She is a brilliant performer and a charming little woman and easily wins the love of every one. Miss Marion McClelland, Voice Miss McClelland, of Decatur, 111., is the newest member of Hillman faculty. She is a graduate of James Millikin University and Conservatory. The very first day she came she won the love of every one, and ‘has held it throughout the session. She is sometimes spoken of as the little lady who has a voice bigger than she is. Page nine Mrs. D. M. Nelson, Piano Mrs. Nelson is a graduate of Hillman and she has proved truly loyal to the “Slute.” For several years she has been assistant piano teacher, and well does she fill this position. She is a very brilliant and charm- ing woman and to know her is to love her. Miss Averilla Buckley, Matron “Auntie” is one whom we all love very dearly. When you are ill she soon make3 you well with her sweet, smiling face and cheerful voice. She makes it her daily mission to see that we get the best of food to eat. She is a real mother to us all, and we feel that Hillman could not do without her. ZENO Wall, P.D., Pastor of Clinton Baptist Church Dr. Wall is not a member of our faculty, but we feel so close to our pastor that we are putting his picture here. He is probably the best and most loved pastor in Mississippi, a wise leader, a deep thinker, a con- secrated man, a prince among men. He is now raising $60,000 to build a new church in Clinton, a big task, but a big man is undertaking it and it will be accomplished.

P age seventeen 1 al Senior Poem To the shore of a sunlit sea dri en on by a billow white, Aglow with the light of hope, on the breast of a green wave nursed, A bubble of ' wondrous hue in a million colors light. Leaped with a gleam of joy and the goal attained — it burst. To the time of last good-bys where comes the parting way, Aglow with the light of youth, with hope so high in each heart, A class of promise true, with mien both grave and gay, Come with a smile, a sigh and the goal attained — we part. The bubble, in tiny parts, to its home the sea returned. For from such part3 the world the Maker did compose. Though your small place in this life is not for what you’ve yearned. Go search it out and at the end you’ll find — “He knows.” K. C., ’19. Senior History O compress the history of the Senior Class of 1919 into a few sentences and phrases for an Annual is im- possible. Even to chronicle a few of the most impor- tant accomplishments, and do it justice, would tax the power and skill of a pen far abler than mine; for the life of this class since entrance into Hillman College has been too pregnant with possibilities and achievements. It was about September, 1915, that the members of this class en- tered on the pursuit of knowledge with a sure and joyous instinct, deter- mined not to become terror-stricken by the seemingly unsurmountable assignments. Seniordom is not reached by a single bound, but by the vir- tue of four years of persistent plodding over the paths that were appar- ently at times strong and mountainous, and now they realize that these trials were only preparatory for the enjoyments that follow where the path will lead through peaceful valleys strewn whh happiness ar.d blessing. This class needs no horn to herald its fame. It has a record de- serving in every point to grace the history of the college; it has been such to reflect honor on the respective homes of its members, wherever these homes may be. This class stands for all that is sincere, noble, upright, honest and true, and if, as some venerable sage has said, “The history of the past is the mirror of the future,” glorious indeed is the future of the Class of 1919. HISTORIAN. Page eighteen Senior Prophecy ! NE warm spring day in April I got up feeling that something very unsual was going to happen to me, and this wonderful event which I am about to tell really happened. I was sitting down under a large shade tree in my back yard, making soap bubbles for a crowd of children, but they soon grew tired of this and wandered off. Sud- denly, against my will and in spite of all I could do, spring-fever overwhelmed me, and 1 was carried away by the Sandman. He led me on and on, and when we stopped I looked around to find myself alone on a beautiful seashore, dressed in a bathing suit. A voice came to me — from nowhere in particular — saying, “Come on in, the bubbles of the water have a wonderful secret to reveal to you.” Before I had gone far I saw one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. A large bubble came dancing over the water and as it came nearer it grew larger and larger. Well, you have heard of the whale swallowing Jonah. Just so I was completely swallowed by this enormous bubble. On entering it I felt that I was entering fairyland, for the scenes I saw, as the sun shone upon it, were scenes that I shall never forget. The first was a lovely little vine-covered bungalow in the midst of large trees and surrounded by a Deautiful lawn. In front of this little house I saw a little girl playing and at a distance a woman reading. As she looked up I recognized our class president, Erneze Butler. I gave a gasp of astonishment, but the vision faded and another even m re beautiful appeared. This time it was a magnificent church, and I could see, slowly marching down the aisle, a bride in a robe of white satin, trimmed with real lace. This lovely bride was Virgie Priest. This scene changed to a university and there, still pursuing their college course, were Sallie Hart- ness and Lois McFearen. Another section of this city appeared and in an attractive looking office 1 saw Kathryn Coggin wri ' .ing stories and poems for one of the popular magazines. The next view was unmistakably a town in China and among the missionaries I saw Mary Sue Bishop. This scene slowly changed to the mountains of North Carolina and I saw, teaching in the moun- tain schools. Myrtle Lassetter and Mildred Byrd. The next scene was that of an immense college campus ar.d over the entrance I saw graven in the tone, “New England Conservatory.” Among the musicians I saw Ella B. Dyess and Mabel Baldwin. Before I could realize what had happened these faces vanished and a large city came into view. A handsomely dressed woman was entering the store and as she opened her purse a card dropped from it, and the name engraved there was “Mrs. Callie Bishop ?” When this vision faded I realized that I came next. Breathlessly and eagerly I was waiting when suddenly the bubble burst and someone was giving me a vigorous shake. Once more I was alert, and looking around I found myself surrounded by the children who were begging me to make some move soap bubbles. I slowly and sadly realized that I had only been dreaming.

Being the biggest we are naturally the best, and it has been remarked by some of the members of the class that “We are men of mighty means.” In English we are wonders, in history we are sharks, in Math we shine (?), we gobble French at all times, we have cultivated a taste for science and in general we are the teachers’ smart children. If you don’t believe this, please don’t ask the teachers about it. You see, it wouldn’t be tactful. As we are just on the threshold of Seniordom much is expected of us, although we are just a class of girls. Some future teachers, some professional flirts, some honorable teacher dodgers, some dignified sinners and a great many plain girls. We wish to do as much or more than is expected of us, and we hope to give to the coming classes a new ideal for which to strive. When we have finished we hope the president will be moved to say, “Send us just such another set of Junior girls.” N. W., ’20. T Juniors No! we are not to weep Over a sad, sad parting. Neither tell how green we were, When we were only starting. We’re just Juniors. Some of our fair class Are striving on for learning. Others somtimes pass, And bless the happy turning. Like most Juniors. Yet there’s much to say Of these Juniors’ glory. And ’twill be a happy day When they reveal their story — - All great Juniors. E. G., ’20.

When the earth was young, my child, And everyone was gay, you know.

And all queer kind of folk. When Father Time wooed Mother Fate, (For then their years were few). Now Mother Fate’s a fickle dame, And Father Time a dandy true. A flirt is she the very same As every girl, you know. To all the offers that he could make She gave the arch reply, “From the vastness of your store I take The best that you can give.” I’ve looked and found in the Future’s glass The classes of Hillman College, And from all the Stute I chose the class Of Nineteen-Twenty-One.’ “X.” Hugh Ella — “Howdy, Ape.” Agnes — “Hello!

When through the college course there passed, A maid who bore with laughs and jeers A name that of’t had caused her tears, A Freshman. But on beyond she saw a light. Ambition’s star gleamed warm and bright. A tear stands in her bright blue eye. And she softly whispers I cannot die, A Freshman. And in the future cold and gray, The voice of hope she of’t heard say. Climb on, Oh! maid, till you reach the top. And the maid climbed on, she did not stop. A Freshman. T. Y., ’22. Colors: Baby Pink and Green. Motto: “Never Too Green to Pick.” Floiver : Sweet Pea.

So it is with a sense of fijj duty as well as with genuine pleasure that we note the following facts: V? PS! September 18, 1918, the members of the present Freshman Class, gathered from out the multitude where they were diamonds in the rough, entered the doors of the grand old institution and exclaimed: The Rubicon is crossed! Today we begin snapping the fetters of illiterate bondage; we shall become sparkling, priceless gems, helping to enlighten and brighten the world. We realize that success comes only through untiring efforts and we are making sure our foundation. Perhaps our path will not always be strewn with flowers, but ambition will lead us on, for knowledge is beckoning from across the way. Historian. Hillman Commandments Thou shalt heed no other’s words, but those of Mr. Berry, for he is lord and master here at Hillman and can suspend or spank as the case demands. Thou shalt not let anything come between thee and thy Latin in the likeness of beaux, sweet- heart, or picture shows, for Miss Moody is a strict teacher, punishing even unto the last letter of the law, all those who disobey her, but showing mercy unto all those who love her and keep her commands. Thou shalt not act giddy or vain nor paint thy face too oft’, for Mrs. Lowrey holdeth all silly who doeth these things. Remember the bells and take heed thereof, lest thou shalt forfeit those privileges and also thy neighbors’, who are in the same box. Honor Miss Bailey and her rules in Math, that thy Math, class may be one long pleasure and Miss Bailey may not lose her temper, because she hath a temper to lose. Thou shalt not molest Aunt Kate by making candy in the kitchen too often, for Auntie will not hold her guiltless who thus offends. Thou shalt not say, “I have went,” nor ‘‘It is me,” for Miss Lynn will give thee a “D” on this term’s work, thereby keeping thee from entering the Sophomore Class next term. Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor’s books, nor her apples, nor her beaux, for these belong to her. Thou shalt not take note of thy neighbor on examination, because all of thy neighbors are not as bright as thou thinketh. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s grades, nor her good looks, nor her popularity, nor her “pass,’’ if perchance she gets one, nor anything that be- longs to thy neighbor. Now if these commandments are followed thy stay at Hillman will be both agreeable and pleas- ant, otherwise it may be very short. M. K., ’22. Page thirty-one Irregular Class Officers President .

The morning paper says that the suffragettes have succeeded in electing Miss Blanche Howell to the presi- dency of the U. S. A. She is the first woman to become president. She is an old member of the Preparatory Class of Hillman College of 1918 and 1919. I am indeed proud to know that so many of my classmates of 1918 and 1919 have taken such an active part in the politics of our country. Miss Lena Evans being the pres- ent Junior Senator from Mississippi, Miss Mary Nettles a Mississippi Congresswoman and Miss Ida Bell Boyd a member of Miss Howell’s cabinet. Last night I went to a recital given by Madame Zuela Malonie Znydiere. She is the greatest pianist of the day. Her real name is Zula Malone Snyder. She is one of the ’18 and ’19 “Sub-Freshman.” Miss Edwina Berry married the son of Mr. Hanley Page. Upon the death of the inventor Miss Berry’s husband inherited the Hanley- Page aeroplane factory. When Mr. Page, Jr., died Miss Berry inherited this factory. She is waiting to take me riding, so I will hurry through. Miss Emma B. Williams married a New York banker. He is president of a bank in Wall Street. Miss Mary Olive Steele married a millionaire who lives at his father’s expense. Is this not a very successful class? PROPHET L’Preps (With Apologies to Kipling.) Whenever a teacher has fainted, Whenever a tumult is heard, When the Stute crimson is painted, Mrs. Lowrey exclaims in a word: “It’s the Preps’’ — but faith, we can’t help it; And it’s only an aeon or two. Till the faculty, calling us Freshmen, Shall set us to work anew. And some day the good shall be Seniors; They shall roam through the town alone; They shall shine at the “Stute” receptions, With a radiance all their own. They shall have big books to read from As they sit in the study hall, They shall read for an hour at a sitting Psychology, Science, and all. All of the teachers shall praise us. And none of the teachers shall blame. And, O! When that session is ended, And our class has established its fame, Some may marry for money — At least, they will if they can — And some may work for a living. And some may work for a man. “Z .’’ Page thirty-five S SilTpTo N E E Bishop, Priest Berry Funeral Directors Corner of Pearly St. and Golden Ave. Silver City Stewart and Butler Labor Bureau Household Servants Shackelford Maxwell Bass, Chnkscales Garage Autos Repaired Fords Fixed Barham Fish and Fresh Meats Barnes, Bridges Construction Company Wells Westbrook City Water Company CONTRACTORS - WATCH Howell, Aycock, Crow’s Show Window for Fresh Eggs and Country Produce WATCH Yankie, Barrett Winn Brokers Let Us Do Your Business Worrying for You Reeves, Green Decorating Company Paints and Varnishes See Our Line B4 Purchasing Dora Boykin Land Co.

Her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her. Her children rise up and call her blessed, A woman that feareth the Lord. Give her of the fruit of her hand.” During the war it was six times safer for soldiers in the trenches than for our babies in their cradles in the United States. Then, being a baby may be called the most hazard- ous of all undertakings. Our Government found an alarming number of men who were physically unfit for war service, and experts dated the causes of this unfitness back to baby- hood. The crying need is for trained mothers and teachers. Hillman College now has a course in Mothercraft to tram her girls for special service to babyhood and childhood. This course was established September, 1918, and was made possible by the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Talley. They have enlisted in this work in memory of their baby girl, Mary Benson Talley. Born June 26, 1917. Died April 30, 1918. Page fifty -livo Company “A” Company “LT Lois McFearin . . . Kathryn Coggin . . Agnes Haile .... Ruth Meurrier . . .

And reasons for our cheeriness Are neither hid nor few. Receptions, concerts, games galore. Commencement banquets, too. But there’s one thing we all detest — We hate it worse than Flu — And that’s the rising bell. Oh, yes, we hate to bone for tests. And cram from sun to sun. We hate to wear our uniforms — They’d more become a nun. We hate to write our Latin prose. And essays by the ton. But one thing by comparison Makes these appear as fun — That’s the rising bell. It seems I’m scarcely in my bed. And settled down to sleep. When — everyday — that rising bell Disturbs my slumbers deep. Such harsh and horrid reveilles. Would make old Gabriel weep. So even when I graduate. This motto I will keep: Abolish Rising Bells.

It gives you a fellow-feeling. Write all the letters you can. Write all the boys. Write them every day whether you know them or not. Write! Mr. Berry: “Don’t squeeze when you shake hands. Let your hand hang like a dishrag. Let it flop.” Always be late. Don’t come to chapel till during scripture reading or prayer. Walk on your heels and attract attention so that everybody will know you’re present. Don’t forget to carry your gum to church. Miss Lowrey: “Avoid the use of dictionaries. If you have one, sell it. Never take time to look up words in your English work.’’ Miss Clark: “Please use the chapel piano for ‘ragtime.’ It develops the tone.” Miss Lynn: “Who were the husbandmen of Egypt?” Lena Evans: “They must have been the married men.” Auntie: “I’m glad to see you’re back from the front.” Leon: “Golly, I didn’t know I was that thin.” Miss Steele (in History Class) : “Emma B., to what branch of the service do the baby tanks belong?” Emma B. Williams: “I suppose to the infantry.” Heard at 5:30 a. m. “Beth.” No answer. “Oh, Beth.” Snores. “Look here, Beth.” “Huh.” “Let me show you something.” “Oh, I’m sleepy.” “Well, get up and come here.” “What do you want, Margaret?” “Look, my second toe is longer than my big toe.” Funeral from the house at 4 P.M.

April Fool Scene I, Everywhere. A Mid (summer) night’s Scream. The first act in this wild scene was the tying up of the teachers. Miss McClelland was somewhat restive under this strenuous treatment. In fact she broke out of the trace the first time, making severe measures necessary. A girl beneath Miss Clark s window unwisely offered to bet her a fifteen-cent ice cream that she could not escape. She (the girl) underestimated the strength of this rather diminutive teacher, and also the strength of her desire for ice cream; for in a few minutes the Director of Music was sitting kicking her heels against the outside step, as happy as a child playing hookey. The rest of the faculty — perhaps being older and more resigned to school girl ways — remained quietly in bed and slept (?) until the rising bell. The faculty being comfortably and conveniently disposed of, the girls proceeded to serve them with a first-class serenade. The prelude consisted of the dragging up and down steps of tin buckets. Soon the fiaint tones of Tickle Toe were heard. The sounds increased in confidence and grew in volume a3 the singers advanced. Little Liza Jane and Dark Town Strutters Ball were rendered with great enthusi- asm. There were a few sopranos and contraltos but most of the voices were bare o’ tone, and whether the song was written in major or minor was too trivial a matter for any one to notice. Gradually the place quieted down as the hour for breakfast approached; and by the time the meal was served every one was sleepily subdued. The only evidence of the unusual was an exaggerated tendency on the part of the revelers toward giggling. INTERIM This time was spent in the utterly uninteresting and useless pursuit of our studies. Scene II, Anywhere. Battle of “Want-to-Woo” The second act of this scene was all of the lovers gayly tripping over the earth in every direction. The celebrated “Somewhere” in France had nothing whatever on “Anywhere” in Clinton. While machine gun nests and tanks were not in evidence, weapons equally as dangerous were freely employed. It is reported that in several localities the contest was waged hand to hand; though it was more nearly hand to mouth in those places where the press was thickest. However, the evening was less like one battle than like a series of engagements. The Headquarters for Generals Cupid and Cupidity were established at various stores located in the historic little city of Clinton. Here the fizz of the festive soda pop was heard on all sides, and ice cream flowed like wine. A heavy barrage of bonbons masked the advance of Cupid’s forces, and few of the besieged strongholds were able to resist this formidable attack. The battle raged until the going down of the sun, and several of the detachments were so heavily engaged that they made arrangements for some Mississippi sons to remain up a while longer, so that the light might not be utterly cut off.
