She commanded me to swallow it, which I did, making a wry face and groaning in anguish according to time-humored custom, though the medicine, to tell the truth, was quite agreeable to the taste. Then she sent me back to class where, as soon as I was seated in my usual corner, 1 fell aslep and dreamed I saw arising from the fumes of the green bottle a spirit who took me by the hand and led me into the future. It showed me Hillman, where I saw Bess Oliver loved and honored by all the girls as lady principal, and Lona Rushing, the wife of the new vice-president. In the old English class room I found Bernice Herring teaching, together with others, the bright children of Mrs. Ray Dykes and Mildred Hackett, who had become the wife of an M. C. profess 01 -; Della May Wilkerson, as history teacher, and Cleo Bowling, directing athletics While passing through Clinton, I looked through a window of a beautiful home and there I saw Ruby Westbrook reigning as queen of an American king’s home. I hen the spirit danced out to a large city, where I saw Norma Potter busy in her studio as a famous artist. Farther down the street we passed the magnificent hair-dressing establishment of Emma Sue Gross, where Lora Sharp worked as her competent stenog- rapher. Just outside I saw a large billboard announcing that a celebratetd lyceum group, consisting of Elizabeth Stovall, vocalist; Tirsa Johnson, pianist; Gladys Gilmore, reader, and Annie Johnson, violinist, would play at the Century the following Friday. Bess Montgomery with her wonderful dancing, and Isabel Dees with her marvelously trained animals, were there amusing the audience. On looking around I saw Ermenia Parkinson reading the billboard over my shoulder, e told me that she was still an old maid, which conclusion I had already drawn from her appearance, as she was dressed in our-of-date clothes and a long vermilion feather sticking jauntily through her old rusty hat. I asked her where her good friend, Edna rown, was, and she told me she was director of French in one of the well-known univer- sities of the North. She also told me that Maude Edwards, Elizabeth Lassetter, Alyne Barksdale were teaching in the mountain schools of North Carolina. P s iri en me down to the seashore, where I saw Louella Landrum and Virgie Eddlemen embarking as missionaries to Africa, accompanied by Jessie Harding as their interpreter. Aulsy Stewart was sailing for Paris to get new hats for her millinery establish- ment. In her hands she carried a book written by Sarah Robinson. There, also, I saw Pauline Meyers and Ethel Jackson, who were returning from a tour of Europe, where they had enchanted large audiences with their beautiful voices. b rom here the spirit led me to the land of the golden west, where I found living peace- fully with their husbands, Margaret Butler and Hattie Rae Shackelford. They were at the station bidding farewell to their friend, formerly Cora Lou Butler, but now the wife of a famous physician, who had been visiting them. I he vision vanished, and suddenly I was aroused from my slumber by the voice of my teacher, “Huella Niven, stop moving and pay attention to the lesson.” THE PIONEER, 192 1 Page liventy-six Senior History EORGE ELIOT said, “The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.” If this be true, the Class of ’20- 21 can rightly be included in the list of the blessed. For serene and happy have their college days been; marked by no cataclysms nor outstanding disasters, and by no evils other than characterize the ordinary routine of school life. Since the year ’17 our class of thirty-two has been gathering from seventeen counties of Mississippi and one of Arkansas, to drink from Hillman’s fountain of knowledge. Out of this number sixteen high schools are represented, four being agricultural high schools. Some came in the year ’20 from other colleges. Our real “pioneers’’ are Huella, Della Mae, Pauline, and Jessie, who have progressed from “preps’ to seniors through a long and honorable career. During the evolution of this Senior Class they have passed under the chastening hand of three lady principals, and but four of the faculty who received them “in the raw” remain to see them pass from “Hillman portals” as finished products? Out of this splendid class of thirty-two we have literary graduates, twenty-nine; piano graduates, two, Jessie and Tirsa; expression graduates, one, Gladys Gilmore. During these years we have been delving in science, logic, philosophy, and history. We have read and studied into and beyond the midnight hour; read until our eyelids have refused to open; studied until the machinery of our cranium was overheated with friction. We have invetstigated the mysteries of the human soul; we have studied philosophy of all kinds, and have even practiced it. We have fallen in love with Wisdom, and have assumed the vows of an evangel to go out into the world and proselyte the disciples of Ignorance. While the history of cur class was in the making, the world was passing through an upheaval and readjustment, every phase of which has left some impression on our own careers. It is the worthy ambition of each one to fittingly meet the call of a new day and reflect credit upon our Alma Mater.. HISTORIAN.

Standing there before one of those whose words we often secretly treas- ure, j if too, might not become able to read the future as she was reading it. I know not whether ’twas hypnotism or real power that then pos- sessed my being. 1 he answer was plain, however, for when I was told to look into the magic globe the mass of once unmeaning colors took form before m y eager eyes. The things I saw were wonderful. As the Indian chief in early days sent out his braves to climb the mountain and bring back some trophy of their journey, my view was of pilgrim maidens sent out by a pioneer father to travel the upward road passing over the valley, up the mountain to the very peak. There each saw a vision of greater things and passed on to form a part in that beautiful world seen from the heights. As the colors changed and intermingled, these maidens’ faces became familiar. Some were home-makers in such lovely spots as Sunny Florida and the Land of the Golden Sunset. Yes, one, a member of the Class of ’23, was entering a most beautiful mansion, her home in Arkansas. One of these pioneer maidens became, as I gazed more interestedly, a most wonderful singer, performing before royalty in foreign lands. She was our class vocalist. With eyes fixed upon the globe, I seemed to see these pilgrim maidens take the form of modern women, holding offices, sitting with President in state, piloting aeroplanes from shore to shore, performing intricate opera- tions in the largest hospitals of the land; yet with all this ever holding up the standards treasured by them as members of the Class of ’23 in the pioneer school of the magnolia state. Page thirty-seven THE PIONEER, 192 1 kk n otute Songs Marine Song From the halls of dear old Hillman to the homes all over our land. The girls are telling of our school and the spirit so true and grand, When a girl comes once to Hillman and spends a session here, She always wants to come again to spend another year. Ther e is joy and profit, love and cheer and much to learn and see. There is information, culture too, and our best we try to be. How we work when we are working, and then how we do play. But best of all’s a “stute” reception when we can say our say. While we’re here at Hillman College we will try our best to do, And all through life we aim to be kind, gentle, brave, and true. When we get our longed-for “sheepskins,” and are ready to enter life, Hillman’s the place for M. C. boys to come to get a wife. Tune: “On Wisconsin” Rah for Hillman! Rah for Hillman! Boost this good old “stute.” Here at college, seeking knowledge, Chase the blues away. Chorus: Rah for Hillman! Rah for Hillman! Work on, take a tip. Work, “stute” girls, work And you wil l win a “dip.” Rah for Hillman! Rah for Hillman! Under these big trees. Laughing gaily, working daily, Like a hive of bees. Rah for Hillman! Rah for Hillman! Watch us every day Add to our joys, vamping school boys. They stute walk this way.

Vice-President Frances Provine Secretary All mountains look difficult to climb from a distance, but when one approaches, he may see stepping stones among the cliffs. So it is with us freshmen this year. We have learned the joy of the afterglow and realize that every step brings us nearer to our goal. This is a tedious journey and every step must be made safe and secure, so, with our pick-axe we go, toiling upward in the steps of our studies. There seems to be no landing place, but climb, climb, climb. Although the wind blows and the snow flies, we know whence the cause, for we are reaching higher altitudes and are beginning to wonder if binominals, quadratics, or laws of powers and roots will help to determine the remaining distance to the top. We are at the betginning of our college course. We feel that we have been well repaid for our efforts so far, and we are able to look, with happy anticipation, to the coming years ahead and the goal for which we started. Let us strive to our uttermost to reach the tip-top of the mountain, and then to look out over the world with a broader, fuller vision than ever before.

The above picture is made from the architect’s drawing. We hope the 1922 Pioneer will contain photographs of the actual brick and stone in place. Let every Hillman girl and all who are interested, send contributions to help in this great work. THE PIONEER, 192 1 Page seventy- our THE PIONEER, 192 1 Everyday Lies at Hillman “I haven’t opened a book.” — Sarah Robinson. “I had the best time at the last “Stute” reception that I’ve ever had in my life.” — Huella Niven. “I haven’t one bit of paint on my lips.” — Katherine Varnado. “I haven’t a thing to wear.” — Cora Lou Butler. “Why, I didn’t make a bit of noise.” — Bess Montgomery. “Well, I certainly will tell him what I think of him.” — Elizabeth Lassetter. “I have never broken a rule.” — Rubye Sawyer. “We just had a little misunderstanding.” — Annie Florence Butler. “Do you think I’d tell a story?” — Wanda Lundy. “Men make me tired.” — Gladys Barnes. “I don’t care if I did flunk.” — Mabel Fletcher. “Sweet sixteen and never been kissed.” — Zula Snyder. “I don’t care one flip about a single M. C. man. — Mattie Belle Summers. “Nine A.M. and the water’s hot.” — Stute girl. “I’m so hungry I could eat tacks.” — Bess Oliver. “I’m crazy about every girl in school.” — Edwina Berry. “I’ll be so happy when school is out, I’ll shout.” — M.

Appreciation There are many to whom we are grateful for the work that has been done on this book. The many suggestions, services, and skilled workmanship of Benson Printing Company of Nashville, Tennessee, are particularly appreciated. To the members of the staff we are indebted for their constant, untiring labor during the entire time of preparation of the book. To the students we are grateful for their help and co-operation, and we feel that, in spite of the many difficulties and complexities that have arisen in connection with the work, it has been worth the while and we will never regret the time spent on it. A Last Word The PIONEER is now yours. You support it. You pay for your picture. You pay for your page. You pay for your book. Why? Because you want the PIONEER. But your sup- port is not enough. 1 he advertisers in the 1921 PIONEER pay a large per cent of the cost. You depend upon the support of the advertisers in order to publish the PIONEER. In return, the merchants that advertise expect a share of your trade. It is only fair that you give adver- tisers preference over non-advertisers.

LOWREY, LL.D., President Blue Mountain, Tippah County, Mississippi HILLMAN COLLEGE For Young Ladies CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI HAPPY, HOME-LIKE HILLMAN Do you want a school where there is healthful, happy, hearty, good cheer and honest hard work every day? It is HILLMAN. Unquestionably the most homelike school that I know, the school where faculty and student body are most like one jolly, joyous family, is HILLMAN. There is wholesome life — physical, social, intellectual and moral at HILLMAN. Would you like a Junior College where in two years after completing your course in an accredited high school you can graduate with a diploma that will give you a state license to teach, or will enter you in the junior class at a stand- ard college? Try HILLMAN. With room for only seventy boarding girls, the numbers are small enough to give each pupil individual care as to her health, manners and her studies at HILLMAN. Would you like to spend two years at the very throbbing heart of Mississippi, nine miles from the State Capitol, in a cultured, classic little town, where you would form tender ties of college friendship with scores ol ' boys and girls from all over Mississippi, who are going to be the cultured, educated men and women of your generation? Come to HILLMAN. The Best Hillman Advertisement Is a Hillman Girl.
