Page eleven ■ 9 ' 7 Our President TE Board of Trustees of Mississippi College never did a wiser thing than when they made Dr. J. W. Provine President of Mississippi College in nineteen hundred and eleven. He came to this new position ripe in scholarship, rich in wisdom and experience and ready to begin the realiza- tion of the dream of a greater Mississippi College. Dr. Provine is a modern Caesar when it comes to energy and work. He can carry on more different enter- prises at the same time than any man that I have ever known. This, in a very large measure, accounts for the transformation which has been wrought in Mississippi College, internally and externally, in so short a time. In fact, the achievement of the six years of his administration, has been marvelous — almost miraculous. Under President Provine’s leadership, we have seen the Self Help Department estab- lished, and Ratliff Hall, the splendid home of the self help boys, erected. We have seen the Library building rise in her stateliness and beauty to adorn the campus and to serve the youths of the State. During the present administration, concrete walks have been built ; the athletic field and the rest of the campus have been graded and beautified ; the laboratories have been equipped with the most modern and the best apparatus that could be bought; the curriculum has been raised, the academy has been abolished, the course of study standardized, and new departments have been established ; the endow- ment has been increased two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a five thousand dollar loan fund raised, several scholarships endowed by choice spirits, and a track of land deeded by the late J. M. Chrestman, valued at one hundred thousand dollars. Frankness, openness, and big-heartedness characterize all of his dealings. He hates wrong doing, but he loves the wrong-doer, and will bear with him so long as his influence does not threaten some other life. He is a master in diplomacy. It is refreshing and inspiring to watch him handle acute situations. He has the unusual power of changing in a moment, what seems to be an inevitable tragedy into a comedy. There has never existed such harmony between faculty and students as has characterized his entire adminis- tration. In the face of all these facts, then, we make bold to say that we have the greatest college president in the entire country. May he be spared to us many more years. Page iTvelve The Faculty Herd C.

Moss Point, Miss. My ambition is to explore the world, then settle down and live happily ever after. No one knows when time began with Breland, but it must have been about nineteen years ago. A man of foresight from the very start, he chose Wisdom, Miss., for his birthplace. He finished at Gulf Coast Military Academy in ’13, and for the past three years his sunny countenance and ready wit have been winning friends for him in Missis- sippi College. Although he say3 he would make a better man if he could be young again, he worried along with several extra points to chunk at the birds. Class Footfall four years; Track Man, ’15; Delegate to State Y. M. C. A. Conference, ’14; Bachelors’ Club; Hermenian. William Erwin Bolls, B.S. Leland, Miss. “ Keep pushing. Tis wiser than standing aside. The subject of this sketch originated somewhere in South Mississippi about twenty years ago. Having spent two years in the Jefferson County A. H. S., he came forth and for the past four years has been ac- quiring a reputation as a mathematician. He is a quiet, steady worker, and his merit has won for him a secure place in the confidence of both the faculty and student body.

Emanuel E. Allbritton, B.S. D’Lo, Miss. 4 Conscientious in all that he does. We regret that the date of Emanuel’s appearance on this mundane sphere is clouded in antiquity. Honest, shrewd and endowed with push, he has made good for two years as Manager of Ratliff Hall, and this year as Business Manager of the “Mississippi Collegian.’’ “Manager” is just the fellow to meet folks and get by. We predict for him great success in the game of life.

Page twenty-eight ■ 9 ' 7 i I � 4 i i Charles William Black, B.A. Summer Land, Miss. A Smiling Freak Charlie was born on a farm in Jones County, March 27, ’88. At the age of 21 he finished at Summer- land High, and after teaching a year entered Mis- sissippi College. Although he has never entered actively in the various phases of college life, he shines for his Profs in class and carries full-time church work. Louis Southworth Cole, B.A. New Hebron, Miss. “O ivhai may man within him hide ? — Shakespeare. Louis was born on the farm in Lawrence County, September 5, 1892, W ' here he spent his childhood days. When quite a lad he became a successful farmer of another county. As he grew to young manhood the Lord laid on him the call to preach the gospel. He entered M. C. in the fall of 1912 and has been in school since, with full-time church work. Robert C. Beaty, B.S. Blue Mountain, Miss. “ there is anything to be done, let ' s do it now. The Beatys are known for their many virtues and their ability to make friends, and Bob is a true Beaty. He came from Mississippi Height Acad- emy and entered the Sophomore Class; he finishes with plenty of points to spare. The launching and successful career of the college weekly is due largely to his efforts. He is energetic, ambitious, a true friend, and his word is as good as gold.

Among the many good men Jeff Davis County has sent to M. C.. Oscar measures up to the best. He graduated from the Hebron High School in 1912 and enrolled in Mississippi College the following fall He pursued the course of study here for three years, and then taught one year, returning in 1916. He is a fine fellow, and we predict for him great success in the business world as a banker. Class Baseball. ’14-’15, ’16-’17; President Jeff Davis County Club, ’13-14; Hermenian Society. James Johnston Carter, B.S. Hattiesburg, Miss. “ I ' m too busy to be making a noise. Carter tried the A. M. College after leaving high school, but he changed his mind and came to M. C. “Who’s your tailor?” is the question that comes to the mind of the stranger when he meets this neatly and band-boxily dressed gentleman. But Carter is all the time storing away something in his upper story that will help to make of him a careful M.D. South-Miss. Club; Tennis Club; Vice-Presi- dent Hub Club; Quartermaster Mississippi College Rifles. Clyde Estes Dampeer, B.S. New Hebron, Miss. “ Diligent in his own business.” Since the memorable date of his birth (December 11, 1896), ‘Bill” has earnestly and assiduously sought for knowledge in books and otherwise. He is greatly addicted to English, and the love he has for “Little Bill” is something almost divine (?). He ha 3 embodied Dutchy’s motto: Scratch the man ' s back who scratches yours.” We predict great success for him in the business world. Class Football, ’15-’16, ’16-’17; Class Base- ball, ’ 1 5-’ 16. i 1 l I I i ' 9 ' 7 James Spencer Deaton, B.A. Clinton, Miss. “ He lives with all his might. ' If hard work and worthy ideals mean anything to a man, Deaton must be reckoned with. He came to Mississippi College as a product of Union County and enrolled in the Freshman Class in the fall of 1912. He is a minister and has had regular church work ever since he came to college, yet he is rec- ognized as one of the best students of his class. President of Freshman Class, ’12-’13; Mem- ber Honor Council, ’13-’14; President Honor Council, ’13-’14; Hermenian. Tom W. Dunlap, B.S. Troy, Miss. To strive , to seel? , to find, and not to yield. “Puss” will be remembered for years to come at Mississippi College as an athlete. He has helped to bring home many laurels in football and basket- ball. When he sets his head to win a game you may count on him doing his part. As is character- istic of all “Troyians,” he is as true as “Steele,” always playing a clean game’.

Vernon Butler Dickins, B.S. Batesville, Miss. He manipulates his own thinking apparatus, and the other fellow ' s too. Of course everyone calls him Dick, and he is a friend to the humblest and at home with the high- est. He is a descendant of Charles and has classic features, but no one holds that against him. In spite of his society inclinations he is one of the most popular men in college. Dick has decided opinions and is always found with the good crowd.

I Page thirty-one 1 4 ' 9 7 Samuel Lowrey Fugler, B.A. Gloster, Miss. He is short on legs , but long on head wort?. Fugler is one of many in this class who have made friends of everybody. He is quiet, modest, almost retiring, but he possesses those qualities that keep a man on top. He is a close student, and faculty and students say that in every task he has proven faithful. Shrewd, careful, resourceful, bulldogish, he has been called the Elihu Root of the Philo- mathean Society.

Author Lee Goodson, B.A. Mt. Olive, Miss. A big head , and a big heart. Goodson was born near Gilbert, Scott County, in 1 S88. Moved to Lawrence, Newton County, in 1900. He received his early training in the public school there. He entered Clark College in 1909, graduat- ing from that institution in 1913. He then taught for three years as Principal of Smith Consolidated School, in Covington County. Feeling the need of better training for his chosen profession, he entered Mississippi College in 1916, from which he goes with high purpose to shed glory upon his Alma Mater. Hermenian Tutor in Latin, Mississippi Col- lege, ’16; B. Y. P. U. Hugh Gambrell Greer, B.S . Bogue Chitto, Miss. “ Steady , boys, let ' s go easy, but let ' s go. Greer returned to college after teaching awhile and entered the Junior Class. Those who knew him were glad to welcome him, and he soon made friends of the others. A loyal friend, safe, sane, progressive, broad-gauged, above reproach, he is bound to succeed. Strangers say he has a stately carriage, but the fellows say he is a bully good democrat.

Charles entered Mississippi College just four years ago, and ever since his entrance he has been climb- ing surely and steadily the ladder that leads to fame. He has taken music at Hillman College for four years, and she can boast of few students as earnest and accomplished as he. His is a past of earnest effort and highest rewards, and may his future be as his past has been. Mississippi College Band, ’14- ' 15; Missis- sippi College Orchestra Pianist, ’16-’17. Joel Reuben Hitt, B.S. Goss, Miss. “ He is a man of honor , of nohle and generous nature .” Joel Reuben Hitt began the serious business of instructing the youth at the early age of 17. He taught school and went to Eupora High School for some years, and then migrated to Texas and punched cows for three years. While in Texas he taught Math, in Bruce Academy and at San Mar- cas. He returned to his native State, organized and taught for eight years the Goss High School. He entered Mississippi College in 1912, and now goes out into the State as a minister, leaving be- hind him a brilliant record. Chairman of Academy Faculty. ’15-’16; Tutor in Mississippi College, 16-’17; Presi- dent of Ministers’ Club; Philomathean. Claude Hollowell, B.A. Ziglerville, Miss. “A p Ventures are not in one bottom trusted . “Dusty” entered Mississippi College in the fall of 1914, and in three years he has finished the course with distinction. “Dusty” received his early edu- cation in the Yazoo City High School, and since coming to Mississippi College he has attained heights which are attained only by men of ability. He is popular, has a big heart and is liked by everyone. We believe in “Dusty” STRONG.

Brookhaven, Miss. “f e it is who never lets his books interfere with his studies “Chubby” was born in Brookhaven and received his early training in the Brookhaven High School. He entered Mississippi College in 1915 as a Junior and finishes thi 3 year. He is one of the best athletes that Mississippi College has boasted of having. We predict for him the same enthusiasm in the future as he has always s hown in athletics. Varsity Football. Basketball. Baseball. ’14- ’15; Varsity Football. 16-17; Captain Base- ball, ’16-17; Vice-President Second Con- gressional Club; Secretary Pike County Club. Sheldon D. Haynes, B.S. Jonestown, Miss. Nolhing succeeds like success. This young fellow of nineteen summers hails from Coahoma County, and has been in college his full four years. He is little, but you may depend on it. he is loud. “Dock.” though quiet and unassuming, has made a record that his classmates feel proud of. While he is one of the youngest men of the class, we are sure that he will achieve great suc- cess in whatever field he may direct his energies. Class Football, 15-’16. 1017 Robert Ray Hutchings, B.S. New Hebron, Miss. Past and to come seems best , things present worse. Robert is a very quiet and unassuming fellow, but all in all he is of the true-blue type. He can be counted on to do the right thing. He came to Mississippi College from the Hebron High School in the fall of 1913. He has spent four full years in Mississippi College. A friend to everyone, a good student and some athlete. Class Basketball. ’14-’15; Track, ’14-’15; Class Football, ’15- ' 16; Class Baseball, ’15- ' 16; Class Football, ’16-’17. Page thirty-four t 4 ■ 9 7 J James Evins Kinsey, B.A. Cleveland, Miss. “ And even his failings leaned to virtues side. While Kinsey was getting his growth in Sunflower County he heard of Mississippi College and straight- way hied him hither. He stayed right on the job, and the fact of the business is Kinsey h as a habit of doing that sort of thing. He has not only proved himself a close student, but has been filling pastor- ates for several years, and, in addition to all of this, he has the honor of being the husband of Mrs. Alma Landrum Kinsey. Hermenian Society. James Gordon Lott, B.A. Natchez, Miss. “ Small in stature , but great in wisdom.” Lott entered Mississippi College in 1912, continuing through successive sessions, completing with the class of ’17. No finer student ever entered Clin- ton’s classic halls. He is destined to fill an im- portant station in life. We predict for him a large sphere of usefulness in the kingdom work. He is a loyal friend to every interest of college activity. May success crown his every effort. Member Bachelors’ Club, ’ 1 3-’ 1 4 ; Her- menian. Atley Asher Kitchings, B.A. Forkville, Miss. “Man’s chief glory lies not in never falling, but in rising every time he falls.” “A Square” received his early training in the Lud- low and Harperville High Schols. He entered Mis- sissippi College in 1910-11, but since then has taught in the schools of Mississippi and New Mex- ico, doing work here only during the spring and summer terms. He returns this year to get his “dip,” and if hard, honest work will get a man there we may look for Kitchings to be in the front ranks. Class Football, ’16; Captain Y. M. C. A.

Puckett, Miss. “ Small in stature, but great in strength .” Ray is a knotty-looking little fellow, but he is some athlete. A few more pounds of the old avoirdu- pois and he had been a satellite in the football world. He chills ’em hard and stays on the job. He is a good student, a favorite among his fellows and a dear lover of the ’Stute.

Walter Scott Landrum, B.A. Clinton, Miss. “ A gentle spirit and perseverance win. Some time in the Nineteenth Century Walter made his appearance on the stage of life. He entered Mississippi College in 1912 and has stayed on the job through four successive college years. We look forward to the day when he shall rank with that wizard of words, Sir Walter Scott, who has charmed so many with his Waverly Novels. He stands for things that are noble, and we confi- dently expect great things to come of him. Hermenian. Felix Bowden Montgomery, B.A. Pickens, Miss. Can one head contain so much? “Monty” has a brilliant record behind him. and we are sure the same kind of record awaits him. Eleven years after he recited his first primer lesson he graduated from the Yazoo City High School with the highest honors. This year he leaves Missis- sippi College, finishing the course in three years, with special distinction. He has never tackled a subject that he failed to master.

Mr. Mosley was graduated from Clarke Memorial College in 1915 with a B.A. degree, and entered Mississippi College in the fall of the same year. He is a splendid student, cheerful, energetic, pos- sessed with rare intellectual powers, and by his amiable qualities he has won the esteem and ad- miration of all who know him. George Wilson McKinstry, B.S. Blue Mountain, Miss. “Come, my friends, ’ iis not too late to see£ a newer world. “Mack” came to Mississippi College in the fall of 1914 and has been a loyal supporter of the college and all of its activities ever since he came. He is recognized among his fellows as one of the most original thinkers in school. He has made every de- bating team in college, and as Editor-in-Chief of the “Mississippi Collegian” is responsible for its wide popularity. His weekly editorials bespeak for him a promising future.

Wiley Roy McCoy, B.S. DeKalb, Miss. “ What I am to be I am now becoming. It can truly be said that M. C. will not be the same old place when “Nap” leaves. In fact, the members of his class consider him their standby on the athletic field. He gets his letter in football this year, and he has played a clean, hard game all the way through. We believe the game of life will be a successful game with him.

I Page thirty-seven C) 7 B. B. McClendon, B.S. Jackson, Miss. Another Cicero come to judgment. If B. B. stars in other things, he shines night and day in oratory. He has a keen appetite for medals. He accumulated four in high school, moved on to Milsaps Preparatory School and laid hold of an- other, and seized another in his Freshman year. He has been a member of the debating team every since he entered preparatory school, and that is not a bad record. Besides, he is a good student, all- round man and a favorite with everybody.

He is an enthusiastic supporter of every college activity, a good student, courteous in manner and business- like. At an early date his fellow-students recog- nized his business and promotive ability and placed upon his shoulders the honor and task of Chief Editor of this publication.

Ben is a loyal supporter of all college activities, and especially athletics. Hi3 rigid man- agement of the football team of ’16- ' 1T is one reason for our winning the State championship. He is a friend in need, with a heart big enough to swallow a nation. In his life work in the com- mercial world we have no doubt that he will achieve great success.

Joe lives only ten miles from college and has been out week-ends preaching, but he has made friends of his associates. They know him as a man of de- cided convictions, of the necessary courage a star i in his class work, and an all-round man. Like his i ancestors who sailed the rough seas and tiaveised the frozen lands of Sweden, he has grit, determina- tion and a will of iron. Class Football, ’16-’17; Hermenian; Distinc- tion. John William Provine, Jr., B.S. Clinton, Miss. “Take him for all and all, you will not find his like again.” Born and reared in Clinton, “Little Dutchie’’ has always been a favorite with Mississippi College boys. He received his preparatory training in Hill- man College and Clinton public schools. Entering college in 1912, he was a pioneer member of the band and has been a most potent factor in its suc- cess. An enthusiastic supporter of college activi- ties. we predict the same zeal in his life work.

Petty, B.S. Union, Miss. As poor as Job, but not as patient. None but himself could possibly be his parallel. Research fails to reveal when “Pet” first saw the light or where he got his early training. He en- tered M. C. in 1912, was out three years teaching, returned in 1914 and gets by with two and one-half years and a summer. In him masculine and femi- nine qualities are combined. His love for music and the ladies is almost divine. Page thirty-nine ■ 9 ' 7 Thomas Franklin Richardson, B.A. Mt. Olive, Miss. To £no ro him is to realize his north. This young chap came to M. C. from Clark Memo- rial College in the fall of 1915. In the two years he has been with us he has shown himself to be one of the strongest and most straightforward men in his class.

Page forty-seven • 9 ' 7 Senior History s humilit y� real y unassumed, it is with a sentiment of awe, that this c ‘°WyM 0 brief sketch is penned. What terms can be found sufficiently simple in their sublimity, sufficiently sublime in their simplicity, for the mere enunci- ation of the virtues of the Class of 1 7. History is a narration of past events; but of course it would be exceedingly absurd, as well as useless, to think of relating all the great and noble deeds that have been accomplished by this class in the last four years; it can only be a summary. In the fall of 1913 there came a great wind, bringing men from the four corners of the earth to the historic town of Clinton, and deposited them as an undifferentiated mass. The Faculty, beginning work on this mass, soon discovered many real gems, and declared them eligible to admission to the Freshman Class of Mississippi College, which has since been known as the Class of 1 7. Thus banded together, they clasped hands, resolving each to aid the other in supply- ing his deficiencies, in becoming master of himself, and in gaining the topmost round of the ladder of eminence. Being strengthened by thus blending their lives, is it any wonder that no cloudy night has overshadowed their way, that over stony mountains and through peaceful valleys alike, they have journeyed with cheerful pace; that they have won the love and admiration of the professors; that intellectual, commendable ability has been proved ; that in achievement upon achievement, too numerous to mention, they have steadily neared the goal, scarcely realizing their greatness in the earnestness of their endeavor. Realizing the fact that a healthy, vigorous body is essential to the proper development of the mental faculties, the members of this class have always manifested an enthusiastic interest for all forms of college athletics, and from year to year they have captured the championship in football, baseball, and basketball — except, perhaps in one or two in- stances, and these have given them a valuable lesson, namely: Ability to endure defeat. Every year this class has furnished a majority of all Varsity athletes, and their banner floats triumphantly. Not only have they marched from the diamond and the gridiron conquerors, but also in oratory and literary production, this class holds a prominent place, while in scholar- ship it has won bright laurels. The Class of 1 7 will graduate more members than ever before in the history of the College, but our pride is not in the number, but in the fact that it is composed of just and honor-loving men whose sterling qualities of manhood shall cause them to contribute more than their part to the betterment of the world. For four years they have been pre- paring to live, and now they have become polished and are given to the world as sparkling, priceless gems of richest hue; the embodiment of the prerogatives of refined gentlemen. Historian . Page forty-eight • 9 ' 7 Frank Gist Anderson, B.S., M.A. Sparta, Tenn. An all-round man. This is “Rat’s” second time to appear in the Annual as a Senior, having obtained his B.S. degree last ses- sion. This time he takes his Master’s degree, and hence the Class of ’17 is able and glad to number him among their band. Anderson is, without question, the best all-round man that has ever gone out from this institution. During his four years here he has made all Varsity teams and has proven himself a star in every sense of the word. The great achievements that Mississippi College has obtained in football in the last few years can be largely traced to the efforts of this generally recognized all-Southern player. Not only has he played his part of the game with steadiness, determination and success, but he has proven himself a stimulus for other members of the team. Many times the victory has been won as a result of hi 3 “pep” and leadership. But by no means is Frank ' s record limited to his athletic achievements. He is one of the best students who has ever received a degree from this institution.

He has been working as Assistant Secretary for four years and has thus made most of his college course by his own efforts.

It was his annual — the history of his class — the Class of 1918. He loved the book, and well might he, because through life he had constantly taken it as a comrade — as a jolly friend to cheer him when he was lonely and discouraged. And now, in the sunset of life, he loved it more than ever, because it was all that was left to remind him of his happy years at college. He had seen the sturdy ranks of the Class of 1 8 gradually grow thin, slowly at first, but, in later years, with pathetic rapidity, until at last he alone was left — the last of his class. To-night, more than usual, he was thinking of his old companions. He thought of the old games and frolics that were so enjoyable to him in his college life. He thought of the vow they had made on the day of graduation — the vow to succeed and to make the Class of I 8 useful to all humanity. He realized that they had kept their promise. No group of men had ever been as successful as the group that had gone out with him from Mississippi College. Some of this Class of ’ 1 8 had been doctors or surgeons and had left a record that the world could never forget. They had established hospitals and done other things to make their names loved and respected always. Others had taken up law and had become famous lawyers and politicians. One of his classmates had been President, others had served in Congress and in the Senate, while still another had been Governor of the State. It was largely due to their efforts that the country had been managed so well and had enjoyed such prosperity during his life. In addition to these, a goodly number of his class had been successful educators, ministers, missionaries, and had indeed given their lives to the service of mankind. Others had been manufacturers, merchants, bankers, or other business men. All of them had held the highest esteem of their fellows, and by their generous gifts had done much to better the world. In the field of science and invention, some of his classmates had formulated princi- ples and made discoveries that would forever make them famous. In many other occupations had his class been represented, and in every case had they made good and obtained the praise and love of their fellow-men. They had indeed made a glorious record, and one that would be remembered for countless generations to come. In his mind the old man seemed to hear again the shouts and cheers of his fellow classmates. He listened. He heard them call for him as they had so often done in the chapel speeches of long ago. The fire burned low and finally went out. The precious annual slipped unheeded from his hands and fell upon the floor. The feeble grey head dropped lower and lower. The Class of 1 8 was re-umted.

Young I Page sixty A ' 9 ' 7 History of Sophomore Class $£ HEN events of great importance occur or great achievements are ac- jfs complished they should be recorded in the chronicles of history, lest those who are to live in future generations should lose the inspiration of noble deeds, or fail to give due credit to those who performed them. For this reason a few of the most noteworthy accomplishments of the present Sophomore Class will be inscribed. When the doors of Mississippi College were opened on September 14, 1915, one hundred and twenty-five men were enrolled in the Frshman Class. To the casual observer, this class had a distinctly emerald hue, but there was present an air of dogged determination and Spartan bravery. Of bravery, they had urgent need, for there was the unknown dangers of the Faculty to meet, to say nothing of the constant menace of the upper classmen. Although a few, upon being urged by some of the fellows, sought the slimy depths of the Goose Pond, the bugbear of hazing was soon driven from the heart of the Freshmen. Soon they so far forgot their awe of the Faculty as to ask Prof. Sharp if he had forgotten to give them their “ten.” The class has, with very few exceptions, made wonderful progress. This is due principally to two reasons. First: The men possessed a marked degree of native ability. Second: They had the wisdom to follow the advice of the Teacher of History and “dig.” As a proof of this progress they are no longer known as breshmen, but are now called Sophomores. Nor is the class without laurels on other fields. Last year the Juniors went down in defeat before their football team, and it was only after a hard fight that the Seniors were victorious. In baseball they easily won the championship, holding their opponents scoreless. The class is unusually well represented in the Varsity team. Such men as Tate, Rouse, Calmes and Little would do credit to any class, while the consistent and often spectacular work of “Goat” Hale has won the victory more than once for M. C. The Sophs also have good prospects for putting out winning teams in all class events this session. As for their ability as writers and orators, cne has only to go to the sessions of the Literary Societies, and to read the Collegian to be convinced that they are second to none. The class claims among its other notables a gocdly number of Stute-walkers, whose names it is not necessary to mention here; they are too well known to need it. The most striking characteristic of the class has been its determination to succeed. Surely they will finish this work and travel the road of the Juniors rejoicing. Historian. Page sixty-one History of Freshman Class S Aurora, with her rosy fingers, opened the gates of day September 11, 1916, she announced that a body of about one hundred and fifty-five fellows had entered the Freshman Class of Mississippi College. Mercury, upon hearing this, was greatly pleased and commanded that these fellows receive the protection of all the gods. After interviewing “Little Bill,” and learning to their sorrow that no credits were to be given for Freshman English, they decided to go after Page sixty- two the work in good faith and leave old Mississippi College in ’20, the finest class to have ever graduated under her banner. Not only has this body made good in class work, but holds a leading place in athletics. When the time came for class football, the Freshmen were ready and did good work, defeating the Juniors by a score of 6 to 0, and playing the Seniors to a scoreless tie in the final game. In the other phases of college life, the Freshman Class has held a prominent place. One of its members w as selected cheer leader for the Page sixly-thrcc • 9 ' 7 entire student body, and another chosen Choister for the chapel song service. While there are yet three years of future, it can safely be predicted for this class a brilliant career, and looking forward with a prophetic eye into the mist of coming years, we see its members, after having finished the entire course, making good in all the honorable walks of life, and reflecting increasing honor upon their beloved Alma Mater. Historian . Page sixty-four BOOK THREE ORGANIZATIONS AND CLUBS • 9 ' 7 Ministerial Organization HE group on the following page is representative of the sixty or more fellows who have heard the call of God to proclaim His message to the world. In the words of our worthy and veteran President of the Board of Trustees of Mississippi College, Capt. W. T. Ratliff, who, before the State Convention of Alabama, said, “The Ministerial students are the greatest asset Mississippi College has.” Continuing, he said, “If you want to increase your attendance at Howard College fifty per cent, make possible the education of all worthy fellows who have felt the divine call to preach.” We believe that Mississippi College’s rapid growth has been due very materially to the loyalty and concentrated efforts of the many ministers who have gone out from her walls equipped to proclaim God’s Message to the Wold. A goodly number of these men preach their way through college. During the summer vacation many of them conduct evangelistic meetings, in which many are brought to Christ, thus building up the Kingdom, and indirectly, shall I say — no, but directly — putting the college before the people, thus advertising the college and adding many new members to its student body. The majority take an active part in all college activities, and are also interested in all religious work fostered by the college. Their being here is an evidence that they believe in thorough preparation for their life’s work. Dr. Pollard of Crozier Seminary, said, “Just as Jesus was in no restless haste to take up His life work, so His disciples were not to plunge into their ministry without patient preparation.” This is what our great denominational college stands for, viz: A prepared ministry. Our beloved and lamented Dr. H. F. Sproles did much for the young ministers as they came under the spell of his magic touch. Our present Bible teacher. Dr. M. O. Patterson, is doing a noble part in the Chair of Bible. While this is not a seminary, yet, all who complete a course in Bible here are far better prepared to take up their life’s work. Moreover, this course will lay a good foundation for your course at the Theological Seminary. The above group would recommend that all prospective ministers come here to take their course. “Come with us, and we will do thee good.” . S. Deaton , . R. Hitt , C. H. Suttle , Committee.

Wilborn, Captain; Cuddy Thomas, First Lieutenant; Joseph Buckles, Second Lieutenant, and John York, Third Lieu- tenant. This company of one hundred men left college and went to the war in April of 1861. The following year W. H. Lewis was elected Captain, and under his leadership they fought the rest of the war. Only eight survived the bloody battles of Virginia. The company was again organized after the war and for many years played an important part in the college activities. It was reorganized in 1916. The officers are: D. H. Hall, Jr., Captain; W. T. Smith, First Sergeant; H. E. Dean, Second Sergeant; C. L. Wallace, First Lieutenant; J. M. Metts, Second Lieutenant. The company of sixty men, although green privates, have been progressing splendidly under the excellent leadership of Mr. Hall as Captain. Page seventy-five Mississippi College Rifles T HE formation of a military company in Mississippi College in the fall of 1916 was hailed by many as one of the most advanced steps taken by the college in some time. During the summer Dr. Provine had written to a large number of the students and had found that sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the introduction of a military organization into the college. The plan is for at least two companies in the near future, but for the first year it was thought best to have only one organization. About fifty boys enrolled, and there was much enthusiasm from the first. D. H. Hall, Jr., of New Albany, who received his military training at the Amarillo Military Academy, was chosen captain. That he was the man for the place has been amply demonstrated by the masterly way in which he has handled the company, whipping the raw recruits into seasoned veterans in a short period of time. The success of the military organization in Mississippi College has been largely due to his efforts. Captain Hall and the company were fortunate in securing such men as C. L. Wallace, First Lieutenant; J. M. Metts, Second Lieutenant; W. T. Smith, First Sergeant; H. E. Dean, and W. R. Haynie, as Under-Sergeants; and Moak, Mangum, McCrea, Snyder, and Provine, Corporals, as their officers and non-commissioned officers. And the officers may well be proud of their company. Drill every day may have become irksome at times, but the boys stuck manfully to it, and proved their spirit by becoming one of the best drilled companies in the State in spite of the late arrival of the guns. Page seventy- seven • 9 ' 7 As for the future of the “Mississippi College Rifles it is as bright as their past is glorious. The opening of the session of 1917-18 will find them in condition to do excellent work. The men will have had the benefit of one year’s drill already, and this means much, as any man who has tried it can tell you. Target practice will also be instituted from the first, and this will add to the interest on the part of the boys. Long life and success to the rejuvenated Rifles.

L. McDonald We have been very fortunate during the last three years in having at the head of our department of music such a man as C. L. McDonald has proven to be. He richly deserves the popularity that his efficiency has won for him, for he is a clean gentleman and a true college type. He has the full respect and confidence of the faculty, as well as the admiration of the student body. In the music room or on parade, he is strictly business and commands the instant and undivided attention of his men. Though he uses his authority with due moderation, he is at all times complete master of the situation. This degree of firmness, coupled with his genial, open nature, makes him an ideal leader of college men. Though quick to detect and to correct any mistake, he never loses patience with his man, and knows just how to make his private instruc- tions pleasant enough to be conducive of the best results. He is a finished musician and is not only a master cornetist, but an expert on every instrument comprising his band and orchestra. His past successes with these varied accompl ishments have placed him in a position where he is one of the best known and most widely sought for musical directors in our State. It is not the purpose of this short account to tell what he has accomplished while here, but we are proud of his record and congrat- ulate him on the high standard attained by our musical organizations since he has been in charge. C. L. McDonald, Director Page eighty-six ) l l The Music Club HE Music Club shows a more marked development than any other division of student activity in Mississippi College. At the opening of the session of 1914-15, Mr. C. L. McDonald, as Director, undertook to organize the musical talent of the college into a club. His great success in this undertaking induced the authorities to pledge their support to perpetuate the organization. Again the following session, the services of Mr. McDonald were pro- cured, and the club continued to grow, making several trips, the most notable of which was to the State Chautauqua at Crystal Springs, and earning for itself an enviable reputation. At the opening of the present session more real interest was evident, both by the old and new members than ever before. The band was reorganized into a cadet band, uniforms were procured, and regular drill practice instituted. It was frequently called upon for out-of-town work, leading the parade throughout the streets of Jackson on the Page eighty- seven ■ 9 ' 7 opening day of the State Fair, furnishing music for municipal election celebrations, and supplying men when called upon for in other bands of the State. On the evening of November 27th the Music Club gave its annual fall concert. This was a signal success and brought congratulations and commendations on orchestra and band from the student body, faculty, and residents of Clinton at large. The Club is composed of some of the best men in school. During its entire history, not one of its members has been under any form of discipline. Prospective preachers, lawyers, doctors, bankers, and in fact men contemplating entrance into every professional and business activity, that is high and honorable, compose its membership. The orchestra is always in demand when a reception, contest, or banquet is given, and never fails to acquit itself creditably. The band is a leader in every phase of college activity from taking part in a Sunday- school program to heading a student body parade after winning the football champion- ship of Mississippi. It fits into every occasion from the unveiling of a monument to the dedication of Lake Wilson, and the wish is that it may lead Greater Mississippi College to its inevitable heights of glory, and share with her the highest honors.

R. Noble A FIRST-CLASS athlete, an A-l director, and a man above reproach. If these are qualities to be desired in a coach, then Mississippi College has found the man. Mr. Noble came to us from A. M. College, and he brought a wealth of laurels with him. What is of most importance, he brought the jewel he won in his supreme conquest, when he asked Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, an I. I. C. girl, to share his fates. Lack of space will not allow us to give Coach’s complete record as an athlete, but take a glance at this: The year before coming to Mississippi College he received prominent mention for All-Southern quarterback. In baseball, selected in 1915 by a committee as an All-Southern center fielder. In basket- ball, captained the 15 team to the S. I. A. A. championship. We are not through; you are reading something of the record of an all-round athlete. In track, Mr. Noble has a record which places him among those who are never at home anywhere except at the top. The first year this Southern wonder was in college he won the 100- yard and 220-yard dashes in the State meet, smashing the State 100-yard record. This undefeatable, never- give-up athlete came to have a contempt for rec- ords. He broke them into smithereens with as little C. R. NOBLE compunctions of con- science as ever character- ized Carrie Nation before a saloon window. The sec- ond and third years of his college course, he moved on to the S. I. A. A. and broke both the 100-yard and 220 - yard records there. The Southern Am- ateur Union officials sent him to San Francisco to represent the South in the National games. This is Coach Noble’s first year with us, but he has made a record that is good to look at. He has developed (line plunging) tactics which have weighed heavily against his oppo- nents. In six games out of nine in football, his team brought home the victory. One of those victories was won from the A. M. team, the eleven of his Alma Mater. This was a victory to boast of. “The silent mant of action,” that’s Coach Noble exactly. On the field he never gives up. His “Boys, we are not beaten yet” has put iron into many a man. Best of all, he is, in the language of one of his distinguished acquaintances, ‘‘a clean, manly man.” Page ninety; -five i — 1 m V.B I 1 If The Review of the Season T HE past football season marks a glorious epoch in the achievements of the M. C. football team. Mississippi College won the State championship for the first time in her history. The team as a whole was the most efficient machine we have ever had, which was due to the splendid work of C oach Noble, the fighting spirit of each member of the team, and the backing of the whole student body. A number of men on the team were recognized as good material for the All-Southern team. There were two or three stars on the team, but it was by no means a one man’s team. It was a team on which all worked together in unison. No member of the team worked just for his own glory, but for the glory of the team. Every man did what he believed to be his duty, whether he got any praise for it or not. The old “pep” was always high, and each man always had some word of encouragement for his comrade at every trying hour. In other words, each member of the team was filled with the old spirit that M. C. boasts of. The opening game of the season was with Marion Institute, and Coach Noble’s machine proved evident superiority in every department of the game and piled up a score of 32 to 0. Next came the greatest battle of the season, the game with the Mississippi Aggies at Aberdeen. The team went on the field with the old “pep” and the determination to win. For a time it looked as if the Aggies would tear through the M. C. line, but they were held for downs, which gave considerable strength to the Blue line. The second quarter was a battle royal in mid-field, neither side scoring. In the third quarter, Anderson received the ball from the kick-off and netted ninety yards for a touchdown in the first three minutes of play. Hale followed suit in the fourth quarter by a brilliant broken-field run, which added six more DURING THE GAME points to our score. Finally, however, Schwill, the star fullback Page ninety-eight • 9 ' 7 for the Aggies, plunged the lines for a touchdown. M. C. re- ceived and never again lost possession of the ball. The game ended: M. C.. 13; A. M., 6. The game with the University of Alabama was truly a great battle, but on account of the hard game of the week before, our team was at a disadvantage. It looked until the last few mo- ments of play that the game was ours, for the score was 7 to 6 in our favor, but they put in fresh material and pushed over a touchdown, making the score 13 to 7. In the same way we suffered a defeat at the hands of L. S. U., and they piled up a score of 50 to 7. Next we met Tulane in a hard-fought game, losing to them by a score of 13 to 3. The tide now changed, and we gave the Normal a severe drubbing of 72 to 0. We also defeated L. 1. I., the team which held us to a tie last year, by a score of 47 to 0. The last game on the campus was played with Ouachita and was witnessed by a large crowd. It was one of the cleanest and hardest fought battles of the season, but the M. C. team proved superior. The score was 26 to 0. The last game of the season was with “Ole Miss” on Turkey day at Jackson. “Ole Miss scored two touchdowns in the first quarter, which would have discouraged most teams, but only made our boys fight the harder. In the second quarter our team fought with an irresistible determination, and at the end of the half the score was 16 to 14 in our favor. In the second half it seemed that the M. C. boys could not be stopped, and they added 20 points more to their score, making a total of 36 to 14.

His numerous long runs have won for him many mentions for All-Southern. He plays a clean game and has never drawn down a penalty. Calmes Quarterback Calmes is probably the best punter in this part of the South, and with a little more season- in g, he will make a star quarter. He grasps quickly the instructions of his coach, and has the resourcefulness which his position requires. Dunlap Right Guard “Puss” is a wonderful lineman, and is the real life of the team. This was his last year, and all regret the passing of such a man. as he not only makes all teams, but has the ability of leadership which would make him a successful coach. Estes Sub This quiet fellow got into a number of games and played in such a way as to surprise everyone. He is a good defensive man, and only lacks a developed side-step to make a good halfback. Page one hundred •Q ' 7 HART ft AW HALE Hartman Center They call him “Tubby,” but this year he proved to be one of the fastest men on the team. He was down on punts with the ends. He is a sure tackier, a true passer, and loves to mix it up with his opponent. Hale Right Half No more brilliant man is to be found among the list of Southern halfbacks than “Goat.” Most men of his caliber are usually out on account of injuries, some at least, but Hale never gets hurt. He scores on all of them. King Left Tackle “Baby” is the “King” of the team in fight as well as name. He was the best tackle in the country, allowing the opposition very few gains, and throwing his man for a loss on many occasions. He is a good prospect for All-Southern. Lee Left End Griff has developed into an all-around athlete, and during the past season he proved to be the best end that we have ever had. He will captain the team for next year, and it was a popular choice. one hundred one Little Le Cuard Little has an ideal build for a good guard, and despite the fact that he was lacking in experi- ence, he played like an old head. His charge is quick and hard. We regret that he had to leave. Lowrey Sub Lowrey proved to be a good man in the backfield, as well as on an end. A regular position awaits him next year, as he is one of the nerviest men we have had on the squad. Martin Sub This fellow is just so many pounds of toughness. He goes out for everything, and as a utility he fills a valuable position. Then, too, he has won much fame as the skipper of the “Good Ship Mary Ann.” McCoy Halfback McCoy was one of the fastest men on the team and only lacked a fixed place to make a star. He played at either half with equal success. His quiet, unassuming, good nature has made him a favorite with all. Page one hundred hvo Rouse Fullback Rouse is the hardest worker on the team. He is consistent and can be depended on for a gain at all times. He is a clean fellow, a good student, and has made good in every department of college life. Richardson Left Guard This big fellow not only made a good man, but showed a spirit of true loyalty to the team, unusual to those who have entered the matrimonial state. Though handicapped by injuries at times, he remained at his post until the end. Tate, Captain Right Tackle Pastor Tate had the honor of being the leader of the first M. C. team to win the State Title. He is a hard worker, keeps in perfect training, and is very popular with his team- mates. He has the qualities of a good captain. White Right End This was “Happy’s first year in football, but at the end of the season he was going in great form. He is the whitest man on the team.

His knowl- edge of football is meagre, and he lias not learned the art of self-protection. Many joits come to him before he learns the lesson of perpetual aleitness. He comes to grief many times from the use of the stiff arm before he discovers the fallacy of high tackling. The attentions of the coach are neces- sarily taken up by the Varsity squad, and the scrub is doomed to learn in the sad school of experience. While the Varsity men are being toasted and their successes honored, no word of commendation is given to the scrub. While the Varsity is away on a trip, the scrubs nurse their bruises and get ready for another week of work at the treadmill. Each day their strength, stamina and patience are taxed to the limit, but they are supposed to drag their weary and bruised bodies off the field unnoticed, and with scant manifestation of sympathy from the sidelines. Yet to the boy of spirit and ambition, this spirit of darkness never comes. He realizes that he must pass over this route before he will ever be able to take his place with those who wear the coveted M. Then, too, he knows that there must be a strong secondary team before the Varsity can reach its strength. The scrub man fills a place as important as that of the coach, and the loyalty of the football scrub is the greatest shown in the college life. Some men are rewarded with a Varsity position before leaving, but others remain on account of some handicap scrubs during the entire course, but the spirit of the game and the true manly development come to all alike. And the man who, from a sense of loyalty to his Alma Mater, will turn physical sacrifice into cheerful service will make good in the end. He not only stands for the strength and development of the Varsity, but for the principles of work and of the success which awaits him. F. G. Anderson, Asst.

More interest is being manifested with basketball this year than last, and it is believed Coach Noble will develop a basketball machine that will sew up the State championship. This is evident from the fact that they won their first game of the season against Clark Memorial and had had only a few days’ coaching, while the Clark team had been practicing for a number of months. There is no doubt that after several weeks’ coaching we will have a team that we can boast of. We are very much handicapped by not having a good indoor court, as all other teams we have to meet play on indoor courts, but our team has the old fight it takes to win, regardless of what kind of court it has to play on. We are expecting a new court real soon, and then we will have easy sailing. Owing to the fact that the Varsity team gives promise of a successful season, we predict that a great deal of interest will be manifested among the different class teams. The Varsity Team one hundred nine • 9 ' 7 Tennis and Track T HE prospects for a good tennis and track team for the year are unusually good. All nf the old courts are in use, in addition to the two new ones that have recently been constructed to furnish physical training. Practically all of the old players are back again, while several tennis tars of unusual worth have appeared among the new men. In spite of the bad weather, much inter- est has been shown, and everything points to a closely contested Spring tournament. For several reasons we are expecting an extra good track team this year. More interest is being taken in this branch of athletics than formerly, because all the students are required to take regular exercise, and many of them prefer track work to any other recreation. Besides, our new Coach, Eggs Noble, is one of the best track men in the South, and, with such material as McCoy, Martin, Anderson and others, will be likely to put out a winning team. Although we greatly feel the need of a good cinder track, yet our hopes are high, and we are determined to make the best of what we have. Tennis Team Page one hundred ten eleven Page one hundred twelve ■ 9 ' 7 Baseball This is the year for a “Noble” team. We have a promising number of noble men, and a Noble Coach to direct them. Then this, in turn, should produce a noble record. We have two members of the old pitching staff back this year, Langston and Calmes. “Lefty is a wonder in the box. He is one of the best twirlers that we have ever had. He has always pitched good ball for M. C., but somehow has had hard luck. This is his last year, and we predict that he will carry a horse- shoe in his cap this time, and that the old luck will go his way. This is Calmes’ second year, and we’ve sel- dom seen his equal. We feel sure that after one year’s experience he will be invincible. He established for himself a good record last year, and this is evidence he will do better this year. We have some good mate- rial from which the third member of the pitching staff will be selected. “Baby” King showed great form last year, and he will probably be the man for the ANDERSON CALMES EAGER ESTESS HARTMAN HALE one hundred thirteen 9 7 KING LANGSTON place. Behind the bat we have Hartman, Tate and Martin. Hartman was selected to captain the team for this year, because he was the popular choice among the boys, and will no doubt prove capable of the task. He was one of the best catchers in the State last year, and made a wonderful record with the old stick last summer. He will probably lead the team in batting this year. Tate caught in a number o games last year, and always proved himself equal to the occasion. He also knows how to handle the old willow. Martin is noted for his “peg” to second. He is not only good behind the bat, but in most any place you put him. While we lost the “Stone” at first, we hope to find another in the Hall or Wall. On second we will have Lee, who is sure to make good. He likely would have had a regular position on the team last year, but lacked the ability to smack the “pill” on the nose. He will no doubt develop this skill by the time the season opens. Eager is the man for short. He han- LEE MARTIN MONTGOMERY ROUSE Page one hundred fourteen • 9 ' 7 dies the ball with as much ease as a leaguer. He played in a number of games last year and proved unusually steady for a first-year man. The third sack will be held down by 4 ' Goat’’ Hale, who needs no introduction, for he is a star in all departments of ath- letics. He reminds us of Pete Lipsey. We also have some of the best material for the outfield this year we have ever had. For instance, just take a glance at the following: Rouse, Anderson, Shepherd, Wallace, Taylor and Tyler. Out of this number and others Coach can surely select a trio that will sack every “horsehide” that wanders into the garden. The schedule for this season has not been com- pleted, but we feel sure that we will have an extra good one. We do not want to be greedy, but some- how we have a desire deep down in our hearts for the State championship in baseball, and haven’t any better sense than to believe we are going to get it.
