Berry who with his unfaltering enthusiasm in the face of all obsta- cles, his never failing patience, his constant care for our physical welfare, his sympathetic under- standing of student problems, needs and ambitions and his fine com- panionship both in work and play, embodies the fine spirit of the true southern gentleman. “And thus he bears without abuse The grand old name of gentleman.” DEDICATION Alma Mater Adown the corridors of Time, We hear sweet music ring; For bells of memory softly chime, In tune with those who sing; Unto Hillman, Beloved Hillman; Our Alma Mater, we lift our voices, Yes, to Hillman, our cherished Hillman, Whose love light shines for aye. With hearts aglow this gladsome hour, We’ll join the sweet refrain, And add to Yesteryear our dower — A love link in the chain: Unto Hillman, Beloved Hillman; Our Foster Mother, we lift our voices ; Yes, to Hillman, our cherished Hillman, Whose love light shines for aye. And when Tomorrow’s golden dawn, Brings other sisters here, The swelling hosts by love lines drawn, Will join the rising cheer: Unto Hillman, Beloved Hillman; Our Alma Mater, we lift our voices, Yes, to Hillman, our cherished Hillman, Whose love light shines for aye.

Berry Hall Teacher Page Seventeen Sayings of the Faculty “I’ll do anything for the children, but you’ll have to ask Sister Riley about that,” says our dignified president Mr. M. P. L. Berry. Then our faces grow longer and broader as Mrs. Riley says “Girls don’t ask for a Stute walk tonight as there has been so much on today” and “When did you ask to go last?” Miss Timberlake takes the joy out of Monday night pictures by assigning lessons with the remark “Be specific” and “Get what the author means by thus and so — He was one of my in- structors at Columbia University.” Miss Collins is always “reminded of a joke I heard” or “Ruby said this that and so.” And “when I was a girl” carries us back to the days when Miss Vamado was the shy maid of sixteen. And now the vision broadens as Mrs. Quisenberry remarks “When I was there in Jerusalem I saw so many of those.” And then travelling on through brings us down to Clinton and the Stute and then chapel and behold! Miss McCool saying “We will have the regular hike this afternoon, Girls working for credit must be there.” Miss Emma always reminds us of our age and conduct by saying “Just go and eat all that stuff and come down here to be waited on. How many classes did you have today?” “Auntie” takes time on her many miles she walks a day to remind us that we “mustn’t put our paper there, cause she has planted flowers there.” Mrs. Berry reminds the girls by “The books that we ordered are here and you may get them as soon as possible.” Mrs. Potter, “If you college girls can’t act like college girls I’m going to treat you like high school girls.” Miss Palme ter “Now dearie, you should eat spinach.” Mr. Slater “My word, my word, let’s get down to brass tacks and learn this thing.” Mrs. Snyder “Well good, that’s grand.” Dr. Watkins “Down to our lesson now girls, you may read Senorita” as he looks over those glasses at the girl he has in mind but cannot call her name.

Her quiet, demure ways have won for her a place in the hearts of Hillman girls. She is a good student, loyal friend and capable girl. Her quiet dignity, her sweet and unselfish disposition and her high ideals combine to make a character which is indeed worthy of a true girl. Her attractiveness and personality have won her many friends and to the class of ’28 she has been an indispensable member. Pauline Dent Marked Tree, Arkansas Pauline is to Hillman what water is to thirst — absolutely essential. She has the fine art of making friends which is more than accomplishments but an inborn individuality and by her music she gains entrance to the hearts of many a soul.

She is the kind of a girl that other girls would like for their brothers to marry — and in this there is no higher praise. She is pretty, clever and gracious, but beneath the serene surface of her being lies a nature so rare and beautiful and pure as to charm all who are permitted to withdraw the veil of her reticence, and know her as the truly lovable girl she is.

There is not a girl in school with a bigger heart, nor is there one who can be a truer friend or a better sport. To all her school mates, she is an all-round, jolly, good girl. Hikers Club ’27; Sec.

We love the spreading oaks and stately elms The very buildings and the campus green Still, Southerners have other fields to glean. Then in the future this will be our plea, Where’er we be, old lands and new the same; Remember Hillman and revere her name. Mildred Seal— ’28 Classmates, may we all remember These things now and all life through ; That to live well is our first problem In our hands to make life true. That knowledge without deeds is worthless, We can win our hardest fight; That every failure teaches something, We can do things — right makes might.

P I O N E E R. Graduates in Music Misses Katheryne Latimer and Louise Ritchie Hillman has always been known for her splendid musical advantages and it has been a great factor in making Hillman what it is today. Through the years this department has developed far beyond the standard of a Junior College and is proud of the graduates in this department. Each year from Hillman go out well- trained young women ready to teach or to go on to higher work at the Conservatory. This year Misses Katheryne Latimer and Louise Ritchie are graduates and their Senior recital is to be held this spring— a recital well worth looking forward to. Katheryne and Louise are planning to continue their study of music and literary work next session. “Music has the power to wash the dust of every-day toil from the soul. ,} Page Fifty-four I ON E E R.

Page Fifty-eight L ' Preps (With apologies to Kipling) Wherever a teacher has fainted, Wherever a tumult is heard, When the Stute crimson is painted Mrs. Riley explains in a word: “It’s the Preps” — but faith, we can’t help it; And its only an hour or two ’Till the faculty, calling us Freshmen Shall set us to work anew. And same day the good shall be Seniors; Th ey 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 the teachers shall praise us, And none of the teachers shall blame And Ah. When that session is ended 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.

Her faithfulness and hard work had a great deal to do with the success of the team of ’28. The beauty of it is that she is not of the “driver” type, and gets the old fight up by methods of her own. The team showed remarkable ability even though the material was new and un- trained. The conscientious efforts of Coach McCool inspired the team to play to a fighting finish. Although the season was not successful in the percentage mark over the “won” column it was very profitable in giving the team one year’s experience which should make a winning team this coming year. Page Eighty I Ij Louise Leach i ) l Forward When the team wanted a score they just passed the ball to Louise and their wish was granted. She is always dependable in her school work as well as her team work. Susie McAfee — C aptain Center Speed was Sue’s greatest asset. Her clever floor work and her ability as player and captain made her fame wide-spread. Rowena Keen Forward Tho’ Rowena came to us only this year and is just about five feet tall she has shown herself to be a capable forward and will be more invaluable next year. Beulah Mills Guard “Tater-bug” proved to be one of the stickiest guardsmen and did much towa rd putting the team forward. She was also one of the team’s peppiest members. Mildred Seal Forward Mildred is “little but fast” when it comes to slinging the ball for a sure goal. She was always “right there” when it came to forwarding. Page Eighty-one Berteal Langston Guard “Bert” developed fast this season and played a stellar role at guard. She was worth her goal not only to her team but to her school as well. Zula Mae Miles Guard Zula Mae kept the others from making many a goal and was known for her proficient pass-work. She was always right there in spite of all odds and ready to get the ball. Ernestine Poole Ernestine was known for her splendid team work and unselfishness on the court — she was always faithful and ready to add her bit to the game. Louise Berry Guard “Loyalty and co-operation” was Lou’s motto to her team and class mates. What a guard she proved to be. Bessie Shackleford Running Center “Bess” was a fighter and all she needed was a partner in center and victory was assured. I Page Eighty-two Here comes Belhaven with hopes so high When they face Hillman their hopes will die Their team will weaken, this day they ' ll rue Gang way for Hillman, watch us crash through. Here comes old Hillman set for a scrap We ' re feeling fit to wipe off the map Belhaven, we ' ll prove that you are all in Gang way for Hillman, we ' re out to win. Fight Choctaws, never, never yield Fight Choctaws, fight right down the field Get in the game and watch tr.e ball Oh, be a fighting man Hit them hard, give M. C. all you can. Fight Choctaws, you ' ll be sure to hold We ' re with you with the pep and love of old Fight for family, fight for friends Fight for county too, But fight hard to-day and win for Blue and Gold. Page Eighty-three A LOTTA BUNK THEY’VE TRIED TO HAND US That someday we will have a swimming pool. That Seniors study. That Hillman Girls don’t rouge. That the movies we see were made in the twentieth century. That dates at Hillman are “knockouts”. That boarding school life is broadening. That Clinton is a live town. That Ruth’s in love. That June is coming. That I’m not getting fat. Lives of seniors all remind us We should always do our best And departing leave behind us Note books that will help the rest. Miss McCool: Verne Etta, how many of those five problems did you get? Verne Etta: I didn’t get the last two or the first three. Era: I’ve had my pictures made. Liz : Get the proofs ? Era: No, you’ll have to take my word for it. This P. S. has been added to the Freshman Class Motto: “I’m just a freshman, and knew better’n that” College Grammar I pet We pet You pet You pet He pets They pet And who doesn’t pet? Pete : Have you read, “To a Field Mouse” Repeat: No, how do you get them to listen? Frances Cunningham (to Miss Vamado) “This picture of George Eliot looks just like a woman.” Mary Walker (romantically) “Oh mother, I want to rise to higher things. I want to be above the common mortals and occupy myself with things in the free spaces of the upper air.” Mother: “That suits exactly, Mary, you can climb right on this step-ladder and put up these clean curtains.” 1928 Page Eighty-four P I O N E E FL i8 53 I928 HILLMAN COLLEGE A Select School for Girls Three Generations have patronized this historic institution.
