The Education Society of New York has made an offer of one hundred thousand dollars to Mississippi College, on condition that the College raise two hundred thou- sand additional. Fifty thousand of this may go into buildings and equipment, the rest must go into the endowment fund, being invested in municipal and state bonds. This offer was accepted by the Board of Trustees of the College on December the third, nineteen hundred twelve. At the same meeting they elected Dr. W. A. McComb, one of the most widely known and most honored of our Alumni as Financial Secretary of the fund. Dr. McComb took the field at once and at the end of three months seventy-five thousand dollars has been subscribed. The time allowed by the Education Society to ‘he whole amount is eighteen months. So if no unseen calamity befalls the • Mississippi the money will easily be subscribed before that time. EGEO - --- ' STuu uuuuiL iLUUUU uu!

A preacher with dignified air, A boy who’s your friend, on the square, A decided brunette, Whom the ladies can’t get — Tho they’ve set for him many a snare. Lawrence County High School and South Mississippi College contributed their part toward shaping this bril- liant chunk of manhood. He entered the Sophomore class at M. C. in ’10 and has made as many friends as any man in school. He possesses all the qualities that con- stitute a perfect gentleman, and has turned his influence toward every good purpose in College work. As a student he is thorough, a speaker logical, a Christian of the highest type, a man with convictions and courage to voice them. Hermanian Pres., Senior Pres., B. Y. P. U.

Mae be it’s this, or Mae be it ' s that , Or it Mae be he’s making a flat, Tho his chances are meager, We know that young Eager Is trying to make her stand Pat. Pat’s education is a side line and he never lets it interfere with his real college activities. As corporal in Dutchie’s Legion he showed great zeal and courage as a soldier. His work in the class-room is much to his credit, however, considering that it was done between times. Dutch and History are his strong points, tho we’ve heard it said that they bored him. Pat is a busi- ness success, and looks with favor upon the commercial world. If he moves to Jackson, as he expects to, he’ll save enough in one year to worthily endow his Alma Mater.

He’s pulled the cords over “ 01’ Beck’’ That’s certain , — he ' s sure a red-neck — But he’s smart all the same , And they’ve got him quite tame , But he can still run a scraper , by heck! Luke is a born leader. Level headed, big hearted, and with a six-foot-four build, he has proven himself an en- thusiastic and intelligent supporter of the Blue and Gold at all times and in all things. But it. is not so much what he does as what he makes the other fellows do, that has made him a popular, useful college man. Kind, cour- teous, true, we glory in his record, and remember him as one of Mississippi’s best.

This lad while quite guileless and young Hears his praises continually sung; Should the song die away , I’ve heard fellows say, He’d unlimber his own ready tongue. After having astonished the instructors at Newton High School with the evidences of his precocity, “Chic” decided that the logical place for the further display of his powers was M. C. He arrived in ’00. Dropping out in ’li-’12, he held the position of Chancelor of Pecker- wood Ridge University, but realizing that such exalted positions demand the highest degree of efficiency, lie came back to get dipped at M. C. before faring forth to en- counter the dangers of life. Class Poet, ' 10 1 1 ; Sec’y Y. M. C. A., TO-’ll; Sec’y Newton Co. Club, TO -’ll ; Pres. B. Y. P. U., ’12-T3; Pie .

Jim probably more nearly approaches the genius than any man in the class. He is a most delightful conver- sationalist, a writer of inimitable light verse, and a man of unusual taste and appreciation. Not only this, but lie has made literally dozens of firm friends thru his thoughtfulness and willingness to do anything in his power to help a fellow. He doesn’t say anything about it, and unless you are a close observer, you might not notice it, but he has done much more than his share toward every good cause that has been undertaken at M. C. during the last four sessions. He is a man for any class to be proud of.

By virtue of Jus personality he has won the friendship of both faculty and students, and by virtue of the elegance of his clurog- rnphy, he has been instructor in penmanship since his entrance. „ , . , . ,.

His latent abilities both for mastering text books and charm- ing the fairest of the fair first made themselves manifest at Hlue Mountain. Having finished at M. H.

If hard, honest work will get a man there, Sam is going to be in the front ranks. He’s not afraid of any- thing, man or beast, Math or German. He knows where he stands, and if you don’t watch, he’ll have a whole lot of other fellows standing with him. And he always stands right.

Fred is tbe busiest man in the class. In addition to heavy college work, he finds time to star in both base- ball and football, take an active part in the Hermen ian Society, and go to all the recitals over at Belhaven. Being a thorough student, a good athlete, and a logical and forceful debater, he has won the esteem of the faculty, the admiration of the boys, and the love of the Stute.

His “Jet black hair and eyes” have proven his winning card with the fair sex, — and lie’s been a game player, we’ll admit.

Pete will be remembered for years to come at M. C. as an athlete. He started playing quarter on the team when he weighed only a hundred and sixteen pounds, and proved a star. He is active, and very heady. Be- fore this he had won the Tennis championship while he yet wore short trousers. Since, he has made a place for himself on almost every team. He is also a first-class student, and an ardent admirer of the ’Stute, — both re- deeming qualities in any man. He is one of the young- est men in the class, and one of the best.

He is a good student, a good judge of men, and knows how to handle them. This fits him well for the ministry and he is destined to accomplish much for the good in that field.

If the time ever comes , my good friend — When Mac has talked out of wind , You’d better look-out, For there can be no doubt That the icorld has come to an end. In 1899 we find Mac taking a business course gt Grenada Business College. A little later he became a married man. And still later, in ’08, he came to Missis- sippi College. If experience and staying with the job have anything to do with success, he had as well forget that there is such a word as “fail.” He is a good preach- er and a broad, strong man.

He says he was born in 1892, — we have no right to dispute it. This much we do know, he hit M .C. in the fall of ten, a Soph and proud of it. He is a loyal sup- por ter of the Century Club, but for some reason, failed to gain admittance to the Light Brigade. He is some songster, a good business man and a passing student.

With the soul of a philosopher, the heart, if not the form, of a Beau Brummel, and with a flow of language and a command of jaw-breaking words that is amaz- ing, Watson is destined to win for himself a place in the world, equal to that he holds in M.

This man is a teacher of rep. Since he entered M. C. as a prep He ' s spent many days In slut piny the trays Of the pupil ' s faltering step. “Prof.” Williams has been here, off and on, almost ever since Sansing has. He was out the first two terms of the present session, pursuing his favorite amusement of instructing the youth. However, he is back for the last term, to get his dip, and we welcome him into the Class of ’13. He is a good student and a strong man and will be, as he already has been, a success in the Curtis L. Sansing, Ph.B., Newton, Mississippi. There once teas a fellow named Sansing , Who said, “By the Fates , sir , I can sing ” — But the neighbors next door (jot awfully sore , — His wife alone deemed it entrancing. Our historians, Prof. Aven and Prof. Sharp, differ as to just when Sansing first came to Mississippi College. However, they agree that it was since the Old Chapel was built, 1853, and probably since the close of the War. Evidences are to be found proving that he was present in 1907. After that he felt it his duty to swell the numbers in attendance on Clarke Memorial College for several sessions, returning to M. C. only at the begin- ning of the present session. He has proven himself a good student and a loyal member of the class. We are certainly glad to have him. Robert R. Gresham, Clinton, Mississippi. He was here when tee came to this place And had been for rather a space; But Commencement’s not far , — Then he’ll hie to the bar , And mix himself up in a case. This son of Neshoba first saw the light of day on a frosty morning in the early eighties. After having re- ceived his early training in the schools of his county, he spent six years teaching. He soon found that in order to be a success as a principal he needed a permanent assistant, so he fell a victim to Cupid’s dart, and in 1906 married Miss Lena Tullos. This proved to be a very wise step, for the following fall she brought him to M. C. and started him out as a Prep. He has been here off and on ever since, dropping out to teach several times. He is a thorough student, and is always on the right side. He will be a success as a lawyer. 41 June and Commencement! At last that day of days has arrived. That auspi- cious occasion to which we have so long been looking forward, — for the realization of which we have explored the starry heavens with Copernicus, fought boldly battles with Caesar, and delved into the depths of ancient and modern, known and unknown; that day which shall ever stand out in bold relief against the hazy background of our past— that day is no longer a distant dream, but an actual reality. The morning sun sheds his enlightening rays on the hills and dales, clothed in the variegated dress of spring, and the soft-flowing zephyrs bear to the senses the rich perfume of blooming flowers and the melodious music of building birds and honey-bees, while the soft murmur of the brook, as it flows beneath the overhanging arches of snow-white dogwood and golden jasmine, mingles with lulling music in the harmonious melody. The gladsome voice of Nature vaunts itself from every once-cold clod, and speaks from every trembling twig. So why shouldn’t our hearts be glad ? Yes, they should be. But a tinge of regret saddens our spirit, the dignity and import of the occasion fills us with a vague melan- choly. Truly this is a day of commencement,— a commencement of the fuller, harsher, truer life for which we have been preparing, lo these many years. The gay delights of college linger now only in the memory of the past, while the realities of actual life stare us in the face. No more shall we yell the “Rah! Rah!” on the athletic field, no more mingle with the boys in their joking fun, no more listen to their fluent (?) oratory, no more dodge the Profs, or hear Dutchie exhort the wayward and warn the uncaught. And last of all, no more shall we look into the twinkling eyes of that smiling face at the ’Stute Reception, no more gaze with thrilling admiration at her across the isle at church. And no more will “Daddy foot the bills, while we have all the fun,” but we ourselves must steer the ship of Fortune in safety to the Haven of Honest Success. For the history of the world is the history of man. And very small indeed is the proportion of men whose names appear conspicuously on the pages of her thrilling , annals. Twenty-two or three years is rather young to have distinguished one’s self in this progressive age, but fifteen years of preparation may determine the destiny of a, ‘■ ' nation. i fU THI UALLEGRO 42 LJ Thus have none of us attracted the attention of the world by our excelling gifts and mighty deeds, though long have we been grinding our weapons for the fray before us, and we but believe that the superior opportunities which we have taken advantage of will some day bear abundant fruit— that the acorns of genius will some day grow into the sturdy oaks of success. But, if you insist, we are not nearly void of a history. On the athletic field our men have often won the applause of the ’Stute and carried away the laurels of the day. In oratory they have been richly gifted. In the class-room they have established a record seldom attained. And at ’Stute Receptions they have been there with the goods every time. Likewise, in every phase of college life, they have creditably participated. But hark! our time grows short. And we grow anxious to enter the arena of activity, for truly the field is white unto harvest. And, as we pursue our various call- ings through the manifold vacissitudes of life, may we ever uphold and honor the fair name of our Alma Mater; and may our influence prove a mighty aid in the shaping of our State. Truly do we determine that “For Value Received, We Promise to Pay,” and prove to the world that the year nineteen thirteen shall be but the beginning of a greater, nobler, fuller life of usefulness to our country and our fellowman. —Editor.

We lost some good men, -we acquired others. Our record for the session of nineteen twelve to thirteen has no equal. More than half of the varsity football men were Juniors, the basketball team was composed almost entirely of Juniors, and on the baseball team we are well represented. Beside this record in athletics we have the distinction of having as a member of our class the man who holds the two highest honors that the stu- dent-body can confer. One he won bv his own efforts, the other was given him. These honors are the representative to the State Orator- ical Contest and the editor-in-chief of L’ Allegro. Our men shine forth in every phase of college life. What man has done, man can do, and we intend to prove anew the truth of it. We are just now on the threshold of “Seniordom” and we are going to give to the coming classes a new ideal for which to strive. When we leave the halls of our Alma Mater we want to leave behind us worthy “foot-prints on the sands of time.’’ — Historian. 45 With lonesome look and air forlorn We first appeared upon the scene; We felt full well the fellows’ scorn, We knew that we were fresh and green. Strange stunts we did, mistakes galore We made, for we were nothing more Than Preps. We made the rise — were Preps no more, We walked about with lordly strut; Ah, we were sports, — the clothes we wore Extreme in color and in cut. In church we gazed upon the ’Stute ; We thought ourselves so very cute, — We Freshies. Ye shades of great philosophers, Let not this thing your hearts appall — These beardless youths of tender years Would make you look extremely small ! Yea, in our craniums we bore The wisdom of all time, — and more, — We Sophs. A lively bunch, inclined to spiel, With raiment nobby, sometimes loud ; We’re ne’er too dignified to feel The jolly spirit of the crowd. We all count this in our careers The year of all our College Years — — We Juniors. Not e’en the wisest ones can tell What in the misty future lies, But this one thing we know full well — That next year, if we make the rise, We’ll have a most important air And greet the Preppies with a stare. — Seniors. — Poet. .....THE 1013. 46 Walter Richard Nelson, Baldwyn, Mississippi.

Lusk, THE DREAMERo Being the History of the Class of ’Fifteen. As I walked thru the wilderness of this world I lighted on a certain place where was a school, and I laid me down to steep ; and as I slept, I dreamed a dream. And I saw a youth standing in a certain place, his face turned from his own house, and a great burden on his back. And as he stood he broke out with a lamentable cry, saying, “What shall I do, that I may loose myself of this burden? And I looked, and I saw a man coming to him. And the man said unto him, “Wherefore dost thou cry?” He answered, “Sir, I know not how to get me rid of this burden, which is on my back.” And the man gave him a book, upon which was written “Mississippi College,” and said unto him, “Read diligently the things that are in this book, and then go to yonder gate.’ And I saw in my dream that the youth took the book and read it. And after he had read the things therein, he departed from his house, and journeyed toward the gate. And when he came to the gate, behold, there was written over it “Mississippi College.” And there was a grave person at the gate, named Dutchy, who asked him who he was, and whence he came, and what he would have. And he said, “I am a poor, unlearned youth, who comes from the valley of Obscurity. I seek the City of Knowledge, and since I am informed that this gate is the way thither, I would know if you are willing to take me in.” And Dutchy answered, “I am willing with all my heart.” And he opened the gate and took him in. And the man called Dutchy, questioned him diligently concerning his past, and gave him instructions how to go into the country, that he should not turn aside from the road. And I saw in mv dream that the youth asked him if he could not help him off with the burden which was on his back, and he told him, “As for thy burden, be content to bear it, until thou comest to the place of deliverance, which is called Senior- dom; then will it fall off of itself. Yet, will it continuously grow lighter along the way.” And he directed the youth to the house of the Faculty, and told him that he should knock at the door, and they would show him excellent things. And I saw that he came to the House of the Faculty, and went in. And for a year the Faculty showed him many marvelous things. And in this year the name of the youth became Freshman. And the Faculty examined him diligently concerning the things which they had showed him, and at the end of the year they said that he should be called Freshman no longer, but Sophomore. And I awoke, and, behold, it , was a dream. ■P . , TH L’ALLE ao 57 uu umjimii ,uuuu □0 0DDDTIH DODD □□ 00 oaoDra □□□□ 00 ’00 □ Of DO A .A ojaio □ lola □ □hi □ OP □ 0 TW? ,‘V Sophomores Philomathean.

Last year when I had my last exam I proudly said, “A Sophomore I am.” 1 bid my Freshman life a glad adieu, And cried “farewell !” to poem writing too. For I had almost failed upon the stuff — And one year for “Wee William” was enough. Alas! My happiness was short of life — When I returned to struggle, things ran rife, Fhe whole class seemed to have it in for me And straightway asked me for more poetry— And worse, I failed to dodge the dreaded “Prof,” For this year “Little Bill” is teaching Soph. And other Sophs have just as hard as I, I have a pleasant road to travel by, I never talked in French with Dr. Dave, Nor took my share of zeros that he gave. They tell us what “an easy time we’ve had, Compared with Junior, which is twice as bad.” But we are not discouraged, never fear; And we are coming back for Junior year, And if it should be harder than the last We’ll study more than ever in the past, And so with every year we’ll make things hum, ’Till soon we’ll find ourselves in Seniordom. As for the class work — not another class Had fewer men to fail or more to pass. In class football, though we did not rank first, We stood a great deal farther from the worst. Of basketball I scarcely need to speak, The score card shows that we were far from weak. The victory of Soph’s, is yet to come, In baseball they are sure to make things hum. The champions they are without a doubt, The others — three men up — three strikes — and out. With Dickens in the box, and Dock to catch In baseball we shall scarcely have a match. Oh we are jolly, we’re what we are, There’s not a difficulty that we bar. And yet we frankly say, without a tear, We’re glad we’ll not be Sophomores next year. We’ll gaze with pity on the next Soph’s woe And say, “Aw shucks, I had that long ago.” — Poet. TH UALLEGB.0 66 ? TR.U t hV. _l ANO ]„ lt Vl R-T UE Cy OFFICERS W. M. Watkins, J. L.

Forsaken are our prepish ways, Forgotten are the pranks of yore, Dignity comes with added days, — Next year each calls himself a Sophomore. But cast no slur upon our Freshman class, We raise our banner in triumphant song, The “Honor System” robs none of his pass, Each lad is clean, and straight, and strong. Victorious laurels crown our football team, We proudly claim the championship, Our colors in the breezes stream, Our praise is sung by every lip. With pride we look upon our past career. We claim that we’ve been going some, No task we dread, no outcome fear, We’re ready for what ever thing may come.

To those who doubt this statement we offer this proof, no other Freshman class will ever boast of a President who sports a derby, or does society like Watkins. Never again will a Freshman possess an ambling, cute, cockey smile like Little Crook Saint; and no, never, gentle reade r, will a first year bunch claim as its own a true Missourian like Thomas, a pitcher like Brooks, a Bonehead like “Bo” Virden, or a fiery brick-yard blonde like our Stucky. These are but a few, we need not mention others— space and nerve fail us. Our football glory is the talk of the school; our basketball record is a pride to any class, and our class standing is above reproach. More “cuter” than Sophs, far handsomer than the Juniors, and when you mention the class of ’sixteen the Senior Class looks like Pee-wee Myers beside Luke Wallace. Pardon us if we seem to brag, but we are overcome with what we are, and, could you but see us as we see ourselves, you too might succumb. We spare you, we are conserva- tive, nay more, reticent, modest, blushingly retiring. We would not tire you with a history, for ’twould take volumes to begin to portray our deeds and sayings, our vic- tories on field and platform. We merely say in soft and birdlike tone, The Fresh- man Class was.” 75 ]£0|TOD (Q) Dtf 00 OOfgfiOO 00 DO Q 00 LufUUIJU We Class gf Nineteen Hundred Seventeen OFFICERS J. A. Maxwell, J. S.

Our previous experience on life’s stormy seas Was steering Old Keck and harvesting peas,— Before we became— merely Preps. When first we arrive ceremonies begin ; In order to make us to real college men They lead us through various steps. With the razor-strap process they are wont to start in, And end with a march to the goose-pond and then, Oh, sad is the fate of the Preps. And truly our ignorance day after day Is revealed in a very astonishing way And gains us unsavory reps. Whatever we do and whatever we say, ’Tis really quite wonderful how we display The fact that we’re nothing but Preps. They say we know nothing of civilized ways, But we look and we act like a bunch of young jays, In fact, like the typical Prep. The wonders of urban life sorely amaze, And we stand and we stare and we gape and we gaze- And the questions we ask,— oh ye Prep. ! The jokes of the college are always on us, It is really enough to make a man cuss To be ragged just because he’s a Prep. But it ever has been, and will ever be thus; Depend on a Prep, to make a big muss If he doesn’t, he isn’t a Prep.

UTUMN in Louisiana; the light of the harvest moon filtered through Spanish moss; the incense of the open kettle perfumed the air. A youthful party of rollicking revelers re- turned from a frolic. Theirs was the liquid speech of Bienville ; theirs the shrugs and gestures and bows of Le Grande Marquis. One alien there was among them : the principal of the town’s High School, a native of another state. Him they had received with proverbial Creole hospitality and made him one of them. His col- lege-made langue Francais was rusty, however, and he complained that most of their frivolous chatter was unintelligible to him. At this complaint burst from the center of the group a laughing damsel, who said, “Perhaps M’sieu may understand this,” and with soft hand pressed into his shoulder and warm lips against his ear, she whispered, “ Je t’aime avec tout mon coeur,” then fled. Slow in comprehending the burdened mean- ing of the fragrant words, when understanding did come so utterly confused that he blurted a instead of the intended “Et moi.” a K One’s memory recalls with pleasure the strolls among the pines, the secret tete- a-tetes , kisses behind doors, warm embraces beneath the cloak of night — though ’tis dull and silly in the telling. One remembers the insufficient instruction given worried pupils, the impatient longing for the afternoon strolls and drives, for parties and pic- nics at night. With less pleasure but more vividness does memory bring back the winter of forgetfulness. Still harder is it to tell of growing fervor on the one hand and waning affection on the other. H K belated (t Und ich’ the iaia 90 , PRING in the Pelican State; the waving cy- presses a greener green ; blackberry bushes white; the blight of the dogwood aflame. In a winding lane flanked close on either side by verdant palmettos a smart trap was slowly approaching the bridge where began the open road to town. Said he: “I am offered for next session a place in a city school which will pay twice as much as I am now receiving. This will be enough to support two luxuriously. Can’t we get back from our honeymoon by September?” With his arm about her she smiled sweet- ly up into his face, then gently disengaged his arm and looked sadly ahead. Thus the great- granddaughter of Pierre Durbigny, the fifth governor of Louisiana, said: “Boy, I do not deserve the honor you pay me, nor the love you give me. I am unworthy of you.” Surprised, he gently reminded her of her birth and lineage, her aristocratic family, her kin prominent in the government of the state. “But, dear,” thus spake the Creole Venus, convent bred, “my ignorance of higher education will but hamper you in your career. Alone you will surely rise; with me you cannot. On that account I will not marry you though I adore you.” They were at the end of the bridge, the town almost in sight. “V oil a! I kiss you goodbye.” For the last time they embraced, remaining close until the horse’s hoof-beats on the bridge reminded them that they were in sight of the open road. Thirty minutes later he lay face-down on his bed in silent, dry-eyed grief. After a time he rose and said as if to her portrait: “I had never dreamed that such sacrifice could be made by any woman.” At that moment she stood before her mirror dressing, and said half aloud: “Mon Dieu! To have to live always with him ” 91 The cylnniversarjr Occasion The Philomathean Literary ' Society ' Anniversarian Bennie P. Russum The Dignity of Labor. First Orator Charles M.

While thus sitting, meditating, on my classes one and all, In the distance, but approaching, heard I heavy foot-steps fall. Nearer and still nearer coming, voices angry struck my ear, Soon there passed two youthful Freshmen, noting not that I was near. Conversation deep and earnest seemed con- sistent with their tread, While the gestures one was making indi- cated what was said. “Henry you may think me silly, but I feel my heart will burst, Into flames of indignation ’gainst Liza Lou accurst, I to her my little pony lent to ride a mile away Him she rode in sloppy places and completely daubed with clay, Never shall a lady ever ride again my dapple gray, Though I live a hundred summers and they all as fair as May.” With these words, the passing Freshmen soon in shades were lost to sight, While the stars w r ith twinkling brightness seemed to dance with pure delight. It was evening, I was sitting, ruminating on the past; Fairy-like my thoughts came trooping, trooping on me thick and fast; Shadows of the evening veiled me from the view of passersby ; Voices only were distinguished, I the forms could not descry; Though the ear is not perfection, yet I knew the voices well, For the ego of the Soph is ever easy quite to tell. THE I LALLE RO Yes, two Sophs of self-importance sauntered slowly on the street And their conversation simply made me think of something sweet. Every word I heard distinctly from beginning to the end, And the center of discussion plainly was their fairest friend. One was softly quoting po’try, said to be unfailing sign Of the heart’s inebriation on Dan Cupid’s famous wine. This is what the youth was quoting, in a low and plaintive tone, It was clear beyond disputing that the Soph had been undone. “I wish I had a little wife, A little babe and all, I’d hug her like a lump of gold, Nor let the baby squall. I’d spend my days in happiness, I’d vegetate in clover, And when I died, I’d shut my eyes, Lie down and roll right over.” Time relentless in his tolling claims from all the passing years, Cares he not for helpless wailing, nor for hopeless galling tears; Yet the years bring compensation, as the Sophs are Juniors made, Hut for this would be no progress for no Soph could change his grade. As the shadows closed about me, in the stilly eve of May, Gliding by as light as sylphids, heard I well the youth to say: “Oh ! might I kiss those eyes of fire, A million scarce would quench desire: Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss: Nor then my soul should sated be, Still would I kiss and cling to thee: Nought should my kiss from thine dissever; Still would we kiss, and kiss forever; E’en though the numbers did exceed The yellow harvest’s countless seed. To part would be a vain endeavor: Could I desist?— ah, never-never.” By this time they spied me lounging with my back against a tree, And I saw the youth so earnest was the Soph that used to be. And the girl with eyes so brilliant causing such outburst of joy, HT THE 10 IS. 1L ALJLEjG - HO. . . Was no other than a Junior of “Old Hillman” sweet and coy. Soon embarrassments all over and I in their confidence, Passed they on as Nature meant them, feeling not the least offence. In the Maydays, life is throbbing through all nature young and old, Whether child it be in rompers, or a hero strong and bold. It was evening, I was thinking of the many years agone, V When I heard a conversation, with the voice of one for- lorn. Said I nothing while I noted wails of soul in deep distress, For a maiden then was pleading, overcoming all duress, For her lover proud, a Senior, Freshman of four years ago, Felt his keeping and importance, as he does, sometimes, you know. He had fussed with bright eyed Senior of the sister school so near, And he felt his soul triumphant, when he saw T her trickling tear Now the girl was tender hearted, not an insect would she kill. And at thought of lover wounded, tears her eyes began to fill. She in tones as soft as music slowly speaking every word. Made her pleading for forgiveness sweetest he had ever heard. “Oh, Walter, dear, oh, more than dearest! Say, is it me thou hat’st or fearest? Come, lay thv head upon my brea st. And I w r ill kiss thee into rest.” With these words my Senior tumbled and in turn his pleadings made, Arm in arm the two departed and were swallowed up in shade. Soon commencement day was over and the Seniors bade adieu, But remember that by parson one was joined to Liza Lou.

Dean The Bar dissociation of HEN the Mighty Creator made the heavens and the earth, and all that in them is, he set a law in motion, the violation of which was to react on the violator in such a way as to cause him to suffer. And He fore-ordained that there should be lawyers, to explain, interpret, and assist in the carrying out of these laws. Therefore the above group of law- yers have formed what is known to the four ends of the earth as “The Mississippi College Bar As- sociation.” I should like to call to your consideration the fact that the fall of every great nation has been due to the fact that its laws were defective. Every state that has not enjoyed freedom as we have it laws that the Mississippi College Bar Association today, has tolerated a system would repeal at once. Our purpose is to go up and down the world rearranging the defective consti- tutions. Of course we shall not change Uncle Sam’s because it is soon to undergo a change anyway, but then there are others. We feel ourselves equal to the task, for I declare to you that we are the boys who put the “ ’1” in law. Our forensic oratory is unsurpassed by any, ancient, modern, or future. Lincoln, Blackstone, or Jefferson would look small beside Hood and Clayton, when it comes to making truth a liar. The legal tactic of Boone, and the convincing argument of Barnett scores every time. The seriousness of Dudley, the broad reputation of Keth- ley, the temper of Dale, and the business-like way of Mayfield in handling a case draw crowds, money, and tears. However, seriously, the Bar Association has done a great deal of real, earnest work, and has not only been a source of much pleasure, but also of much development t o its members. 107 , ' UuUlJ Young cTWen’s Christian dissociation President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer C.

I. A. A. The score this year, it is true, was often against us, but it showed a marked difference to what it has been heretofore. The team showed a snap in its play that was un- usual. Several weeks before school opened practice began, and when the season came on the team was well on its feet. The regular lineup was soon chosen, and scrimmage began. Henson, as captain, and Stringer, as manager, showed good generalship, and much of the credit for our success is due them. The game with Howard Thanksgiving was a glowing success, and a fitting end to the season. Never before have the prospects been half so bright as they are for nineteen thirteen. In the past seasons we have had only one or two veterans around which to group the lineup, but almost all the the old team will be back next season. Work will begin about the first of September, with our new coach, Bible, in charge. He will have at his com- mand, not a rough bunch of raw material, but a dozen men who have played many games for the Blue and Gold. There will also be a number of new candidates, from which should come some strong material. The schedule for next session is the best in our history, — games have already been signed with Tulane, University of Alabama, Mississippi A. and M., Ouachita, Henderson, and Howard.

He is strong, fast, and heady. His power to wedge into closely bunched interference was one of his stellar qualities, and by it he broke up threatening plays. A little more experience would make him one of the strongest men in the State. Ed Henson, Center Captain. Ed is our captain, and the pride of our heart. He needs no introduction, as he has played his position for three years, and is known in all football circles in the S. LA. A. He captained the team in such a way as to win the admiration of all who saw him. He will, without doubt, form the bulwark of our line next season. We’ll never have a los- ing season with Ed Henson at center. R f Hi 11 E0R0 115 Dale, Fullback Our back field was very strong this year, and Izzy was its main-stay. He more than once went over the line for long gains with three or four tacklers hang- ing to him. His unusual size and strength gave him ease and assurance, which meant victo- ries for M. C. He will be back next season, to help form the greatest team yet. Rallenger, Quarter “S trick” is a hero of heroes. As a quarter we have never seen his equal. A thinker and a general, he saved the team in more than one tight place, and, individually, gained more yards than any man on the team. He is the fastest man in the state, and his long end runs remind us of the days of Blankenship. He, like the rest of the team, will be back next session. Tate, Fullback Big Andy” played in hard uck, and was not able to show ip as was hoped because of nj uries received in the early art of the season. Physically le is a giant, and hard as nails, de has always been able to plow hru seemingly impenetrable ines for long gains.

He is a hard worker, and willing to face even a losing fight to the end. With only limited ex- perience and coaching he played his position at right guard splendidly. The spirit of the game has ever been with him. In another year he will be an expert, a regular miracle per- former. H uu UUDUXL LLUUUU UU H DO 00 DOTE IT DOOOiOD r |oo ododSu TF □□□□!□□ Jones, Right Tackle Jones is one of our two pow- rful tackles, who won the ad- miration of the whole state this eason. He has it down to. a cience, and with his massive rarne, topped by as sharp a lead as was ever worn by a ineman, he is well remembered � y all the men who faced him, specially by a certain All- kmthern Barker, from a neigh- ioring village. He is manager or next session, and we already ee evidences that he is a good Left Half “Pistol” is his name, and he’s verily a “Gunn.” This is his first year in varsity ball, but when the season closed he was playing like an old head. He rounded out our strong back field. He is as active as a cat, and proved most illusive to tack - lers. He possesses all the qual- ities of a strong back, and is expected to continue to shoot true next season. 7 □□□□□□ □□□□Innfini Lovell, Left Tackle At the beginning of the sea- son Lovell thought that foot- balls were stuffed with cotton, but he learned enough to get into the second game, and from then on his progress was simply marvelous. He is one of the most powerful men M. C. ever saw, and was a credit to himself and the college. With another year’s experience he should easily be an All-Southern man. Our hopes are centered on him. Left Guard Browning Jim’s principal strength was his pluckiness. We have seldom seen a better end for a first year man. Few indeed were the gains made around his way. Not only was he good on de- fense, but was a star on the for- ward pass, pulling more than one from the azure blue, when it looked like an impossible trick. He showed up much heavier men than himself, espe- cially in the Tulane game. He, of course, will be back next ses- sion. Altho young in experience, and unused to many of the fine points of the game, Browning, with a magnificient physique and a level head, made more than good in the line. He was especially strong on offensive work. His style was fierce and aggressive. With another year under a good coach he will lie a first-class star.

Sub Lineman “M” is not a regular this ses- sion, but be subbed several po- sitions and did some brilliant work. He has the football es- sentials, grit and power, and they should stand him in good stead in ’13. His sand and steadiness were the salvation of the team at critical moments, when a regular was knocked out. He will be with us next year, to do his part of the star- ring. Milton, Right Half “War-hoss” is n umbere d among the faithful. But his bloody face, and ready smile will be missed next season. For two years he has played right half, and h i s experience, strength, and speed made him a strong man. He worked splend- idly with Gunn, at left half, and to them was due much of our success with the forward pass. Lipsey, Sub Quarter-Back “Pete” is one of the very few men who will not be back next season. For two years he has been recognized as a player of exceptional ability, considering his size, and if we could keep him for another year or so he would make a peach. He is very heady, and was always there with the goods when called on to go into the game. Batson plays good ball. Altlio he was not a regular, lie got into several games. His strong- est point is in getting down the field unde r punts. He also breaks up interference nicely. Altlio light, he isn’t afraid of the biggest man who ever put on a football suit. He has a mighty good show for a regular berth next season. Robinson. Sub Line Cowan, . Sub Back “Crusoe” was the only man we had who tipped the scales at over two hundred.

The Spirit of the Game They hit me in the short-rib and they hit me in the eye, My smelling aparatus looked like huckleberry pie; My epidermal tissues had an endodermic twist, And printed o’er my molers was another fellow’s fist. My medulla oblongata had caught it in the neck, My Napoleonic courage had all dried up, by heck! In a systematic manner they had punched my little frame, ’Till it looked like old Si Slocum of “Maud-iotic” fame. But I heard the quarter call me, and I took the ball again, — I bucked that line like thunder, and I reeled it off for ten ; Then in chaotic ramblings I wondered was I dead. But I didn’t care a “con-ti”, for I’d won the game, they said. .THE virtue.

It is the reserve that make the ’Varsity and he who is generous is half inclined at times to give them first place. It is in the reserve that college spirit shows itself to the best advantage. Day after day, week in, week out, through cold and wet and slime, and wearing last year’s cast-off togs, jeered at and ragged by the side-lines, these are the men that make and hatter into shape our ’Varsity. What care they for bruises, cuts, and jarrs, if only the men who are to wear the “M” shall have been hardened and trained by meeting them day in and day out. Hats off to the reserves, we appreciate their spirit and we glory in their college pride. Many of this year’s reserves will be found on the field early next fall trying for an “M.” Some of them will be sure to win. Their captain and manager arranged sev- eral out of town games for them this year and in each of these they showed skill and deliberation that reflected credit on our ’Varsity. The reserve line was specially strong, this accounts, perhaps, for our ’Varsity team being credited with one of the strongest lines in the State. In the back field we find some fast and plucky men and often the ’Varsity found it hard to outplay them. 1 23 THE 131 3. truthYJ AND £ uuuu □ □□□ 0D0 124 Hood Guard Gibson Tackle Thompson End Tate Half Hardin End ALL-CLASS FOOTBALL.

Class football has always been one of the most interest- ing phases of athletics at Mississippi College, and it gives an opportunity for to show their real ability and develop into varsity material. Holcomb, the Senior quarter, played almost the whole game for his team. He has always been recognized as an exceptional man, to be as light as he is. Adams, the Sophomore quarter, is very heady and passes well. He should develop into mighty good material. Muskellv and McDaniel, Freshmen, Phillips and Gibson, Sophomores, and Hood and Clayton, Juniors, compose the all-class line. They are of the kind of ma- terial that has made M. C. noted for her strong lines. Any one of them has a show for the regulars next session. Pigford and Hardin, from the Freshmen, and Thompson from the Sophomores, are fast ends and break up interference well. Nelson, the Junior full, startled the populace with his long bucks in the Junior- Freshman game, and is of undeniable ability in his place. Tate, a Junior, and Hunnicut, a Freshman round out the back field at the halves. They both proved that they could carry the ball, over or around, as they were called, and won much applause on their long runs. 125 ' □□[£)□□ |DD| □ DfgfjgO QD DD i □□ no FRESH MAN FOOTBALL Anse McCall Manager Hunnicutt Captain Blu TJULJUn ■LLUUULl “do GOOD IT ITODDD □□ ’ r -Joo ODDDl Iff □□□□ □□ Andy Tate Wood Half Pig for D Coach McCall Manager Jamison May End St. John Tate Coach West End Hunnicutt Half Summers Quarter Doss Guard Gower 126 Every man has a pride and an interest in his class and we might say that the spirit which is gained from the class contest, coming as it does, toward the first of the session, tends to form a tie-that-binds between every man and his fellow classmen. Many indeed were the hard fought games on the gridiron, after the 1912 ’Varsity games were over, and when in the end the Freshman class came out vic- torious, it was not without many a strongly contested and well fought battle. All the other teams were strong and the Freshmen victory was not due only to the excellent material furnished bv the first year men, but also to the efficient and faithful training given the team by Coach Tate. Manager McCall and Captain Hunnicutt showed themselves most able leaders and much credit is due them for their careful planning and heady work. Several all-class heroes are found on the Freshman line-up, and many who did not achieve this distinc- tion were none the less mentioned, when the choice was made. Next year’s ’Varsity will find in its line-up several Sophs., who won their positions in football by their splendid showing in the Freshman line- up. The class of ’16 has just cause to be proud of their football players and their pride is centered not only on their brilliant playing, but on their clean, manly showing on the field. 127 SENIOR FOOTBALL W.

BASKETBALL While our basketball was not as successful this sea- son as we might have wished, still we have no cause to be ashamed of the team we put out. Captain Henson was the only old man in the bunch and throughout the season he played the same hard, con- sistent game. At A. and M. and Millsaps he handled his men superbly and showed the metal, speed, and strength which prove him to be an A1 man. The one thing that stood against us was the lack of coaching. This was a handicap to the team throughout the season. Another distressing feature was the num- ber of games that we had to play on a floor,— our team being used to out-door work. Hattox played a nice game at center, and Buchanan, Gunn, and Ballenger were hard workers, and should be first class material next season. At times Wood’s goal throwing, both fouls and field, was spectacular. With a good coach next year, we have the material for a championship team. Heretofore, we have had a little habit of winning the state championship, and there is no reason why we should not revive it. Capt.

Favored by unusually good weather during the working-out period, and giving high class training by Coach Stapleton, they have rounded into perfect form early in the season, and have already given evidences that they are championship material. Our pitching staff was admittedly the best in the state last year, striking out almost twice as many men as their opponents, and it promises to be better this spring. Two of the old men are back, Steele and String- er. Steele is a past-master of the saliva-ball, while Stringer’s speed breaks have already held one team to a single scratch hit, and struck out thirteen men. Brooks, the new member, is not only a wonder in the box, but a star fielder, and also batter. We’ve seldom seen his equal. The rest of the line-up is of the same calibre. Jami- son and Little Crook St. John are unusually steady for first year men, and Biggers and Lipsey need no introduc- tion, they’ve played high class ball at M. C. too long for that. Beathea and Dale are more than making good behind the bat, and with it, and Denson and Ballenger, assisted by Stringer and Brooks, are sacking everything that wanders into the garden.

They, like all other mortals, want- ed their pictures in “The Annual,” and so made the Old Bell an excuse. This page is a memorial to the tyrant of fifty years, and et it is not without a tinge of regret that we speak of his downfall. He possessed those essentials of a great commander which are seldom found. He could give his orders, and leave no taste of bitterness. Five thousand men, now scattered to the ends of the earth, have learned to respect and love him. Many are the stories that are told of his eventful career. True or not, they are interesting. It is said that for a long time it was a custom with the boys to rob him of his clapper each April Fool Day, and present that part of his anatomy to some girls’ school of the state. We suppose that the Old Bell enjoyed this,— he was a gentleman. It is certain that the boys did,— they could be late to chapel the next morning without being “stuck,” “because the bell wouldn’t ring.” Until his dying day there were to be seen traces of bright green paint on his battle scarred face. Tradition tells us that thirty years ago the Honorable ex-Senator Joe Bailey, then a student of this institution, became overly energetic from drinking soda-pop ( ?), and celebrated by attempting to muffle the only thing of the campus that could beat him making a noise. Thus we see indications of Mr. Bailey’s future course in life at this early age. (Others assert that the Senator-to-be did not paint the bell, — that he faded on it.— Take courage, Freshie!) Many more such things could be told, — but enough. The Old Bell is gone, and a duplicate is at his post. May the place that he shall occupy at M. C. be as A honored as that of his predecessor ! : L ALLEGRO 146 If it is true that I must die It matters not the place I lie, — If I should sink in open sea, And lie alone where lost ships be, Or if I fall on rock-paved street That’s worn by twice ten thousand feet, Or if I lie where war cries rise, And smoke of battle bedims the skies, Or where the gentle brook glides on, And leaves ward off the summer sun ; Or lie I in a mansion great And there on silks my call await, Or in a hut whose air is hot And damp earth forms my only cot,— It matters little to me where, For this alone is my only care — Let me die where music is. And still they say that I must die,— Then if I must, I want to lie Where violins fill the air with song, And silver flute notes float along, — Let music of voices be heard around, And harmony dwell in realm of sound, And bring the charm of chanted prayer, That thrills with life the very air; And then I think my soul will rest, And peace will rule my dying breast — My spirit from out its home will rise, And waft its way to unseen skies, To greet its Maker with praises and song- And rest in peace on waves of song; It matters little to me where, For this alone is my only care — Let me die where music is. 147 Joe Conzaneri, W.

The majority of the counties of the state are represented here by organizations. The purpose of this is to turn men toward Missis- sippi College. Each club is responsible for its own county. The members are on the look-out through the summer for prospective students, and aside from using their personal influence, report such men to headquarters, so that proper literature, etc., may be sent them. Last summer a great deal was accomplished in this way, and even more should he done in the future. It lies largely with the members of the county clubs as to whether Mississippi College shall have her five hundred students next session, or not.
