Forgive my grief for one removed, Thy creature, whom I found so fair. I trust he lives in Thee, and there I find him worthier to be loved. Whereof the man that with me trod This planet was a noble type, Appearing ’ere the times were ripe — That friend of mine who lives in God.

WILSON urtRARy EDITOR 8 1=1 L ' Allegro II lUI y a We are presenting this book for what it is supposed to be — a picture in part, of college life during the past year. But there is much that cannot be written here — that great inde- finable but powerful concept known as “Col- lege Spirit,” which envelopes our campus and the beloved traditions of faith and love for old Mississippi can never fade from our mem- ory. These will last long beyond the life of the printed page. If, in the distant future, when the winter time of life has come to us, these pages shall awaken sweet memories of days, both bright and blue, spent under the shadows of Gold and Blue, there this book will be memory’s dearest possession, memory’s storehouse, and the edi- tor’s efforts will not have been in vain. 9 I College II Classes III Athletics IV Features V Organizations IO Ulljntrp is tliy banting?

Aven Thy years are four-score ten and seven, Yet strength hath but increased with time, Euterpe, wake the shell historic, Which Hermes strung for all that sing, We’ll be thy choir with tones harmonic, Concordant with thy vibrant string. Of many builders, few are master, For masters blaze a virgin course, And give an onward, buoyant motion, Combining knowledge, skill and force. Thou, mother, art a master builder, | y Thy tools are keen of burnished steel ; Material used in Wisdom’s choicest; Thy products all thy touch reveal. Truth constitutes thy firm foundations, And faith, the girder of each part, AndNhope, thy architect creative, And v h ye, the finish of thy art. For wells, in thee, of living water, Refresh old age with youth sublime. One name there is of lasting luster, Whose w’orks defy both flow and ebb, Who sowed the seed whence grew thy spirit — That name is Warren Sheldon Webb. Whatever be our life’s vocation, To honor thee will be o ur pride, And demonstrate the worth of virtue, As taught by thee, unerring guide! With liquid of pure distillation, We now renew our pledge to thee, And symbolize with this libation, Our sacrifice to make men free. Though varied be thy types of structure, Through all the one great purpose runs, That Christ, the model of perfection, Shall be reflected in thy sons. 13 j r ■ i r ««rv‘; X -■ . ’• : ‘.?i fi. , iPSRSp !

In memory’s storehouse shall we ever keep That great devotion Alma Mater gave. They are the tools of time, the jewels sweet, That follow ever on, e’en to the grave. ’Tis sad to know’ that faithful friends must part, Yet in each parting comes a stronger tie That binds us hand in hand and heart in heart, Cementing love forever with a sigh. So fare thee well, O Alma Mater true! We’ll carry on the nobler, higher things, Follow’ the gleam, always, for it was you Who taught us love, and to the nation sings: “The Song of Faith”.

C. in the fall of 1919, after hav- ing spent a year overseas with the great class. During his four years in college he has made the most of every opportunity and has achieved an enviable record. His optimistic spirit and friendly smile have won for him a place in the hearts of his fellow’ students. “Heck” is a man with a noble character, pleasing personality, clean habits, and high ambition, being a good student, a deep think- er, and a good friend-maker, a hustling busi- ness man, a keen potlicker, and a would-be “Stute Lover”. If “Heck” show’s the same grit and determination in his life vocation as he has shown in his studies and school activ- ities, he will certainly achieve no little fame. John A. Bass NEW HEBRON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 6 ; Weight, 180. Ministerial Student; Secretary Ministerial Asso- ciation, ’22-’23; Hermenian; Distinction. John received his high school education at Red House High School, in Jeff Davis Coun- ty. He entered Clarke Memorial College in the fall of 1917 and remained there for one term only. This is where he met a fair and noble young lady, Miss Velma Brady, who became his wife on February 24, 1918. John returned to Mississippi College in 1918 to complete his course. John is a splendid and thorough student. He has a big heart and a bright mind. His influence for good is felt by all who know him. We are all expecting him to do a great work as a minster of the gospel. ir I 1 t 1 I e!i 26 I V T | i � Senior Class David H. Barnhill MACON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 22; Height, 70 ; Weight, 178. S. P. B. B. Club, ’20-’21- , 22- , 23 ; Class Volley Ball, ’22-’23; Class Basketball, ’22; C’ass Foot- ball. ’22; Member of the GURA Association, ’20-’2l ; East Mississippi Club; Filled All Offices of B. Y. P. U. ; All Offices of Literary Society; Ministerial Student; Hermenian. In the fall of 1900, on September 15, David first breathed the breath of life in a little coun- try home near Macon. Early in his life he decided to go to Oklahoma and become a grain grower, but no sooner had he decided upon that profession than a very intense desire dawned upon him for greater knowledge. Coming to Clinton at the age of 16, he fin- ished high school and came to us as a fresh- man in 1919. This stalwart gentleman is a very energetic and zealous worker. Good- natured, kindness, and honesty are some of his many attributes. Whether it be preaching a sermon or holding consultations with Cupid, David can be relied upon. He possesses a keen ability as an orator and poet, as can be seen in “Break! Break! Break!” His class- mates wish him a very successful life in the propagation of God’s Word. Buford Everett Berry PRENTISS, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 6 ; Weight, 145. Ministerial Student; Regular Pastoral Work; Hermenian. Buford Everett Berry was born December 28, at Prentiss, Miss. He attended the local school, Simpson County A. H. S., and Mis- sissippi College. Though a minister, having entered that calling at the age of eighteen, Berry heard the call of his country and entered the navy in January, 1918. He became a yeo- man, and had the unusual privilege of serv- ing the First Baptist Church at Virginia Beach as pastor while stationed there at the radio station. At the close of the war Berry entered Richmond College for a year, after which he returned to his native state, bring- ing with him as his bride one of Virginia’s most charming young ladies, Miss Catharine Stormont, of Virginia Beach, whose heart and hand he had won. As soon as he returned, Berry reentered Mississippi College. He is a most affable man, easy of approach, every- body’s friend, frank, sincere. He will go out to teach and preach, later attending one of the seminaries to make further preparation for his chosen work. 27 28 Senior Class Dewey Bryan Courtney FLORENCE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 135. S. A. T. C., ’18-’19; Honor Council, ’18-’19; Herald Philomathean Society, ’22-’23; Square and Compass Club, ’22-’23; All Offices in Philo- mathean Society; Rankin County Club; Three- Year Club. “Courtney”, as he is so called, came to us in 1918 as a member of the never-to-be-for- gotten S. A. T. C., in which he was a very active member. Courtney possesses unusual ability as a student, and always has a word of cheer to every freshman, as well as upper- classman. He is a close associate of the well- known Barney Thames, therefore a Nemesis to “Tite Wad” Wallace. Bryan is a favorite among the “fair sex” and a fond admirer of “pink shirt waists” and “grapevine swings”. He has a very high standing with his brothers in the Masonic fraternity. Bryan has been a credit to M. C., and his classmates predict for him an unusually successful career after his departure from M. C., as he is destined to make good, as evidenced by the skill and tact with which he proceeds in problems of com- plexity. Montie Alius Davis WESSON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' io 4 ; Weight, 145. Critic, Attorney, and President of Hermeniuna; Winner of Freshman Essay Contest, ’19; Winner of Haywood Medal, ’20. and the Lee Medal, •21; Vice-President Sophomores, ’20- ' 21; Pres- ident of Junior Class, 21- , 22; Vice-President Ministerial Association. ’22-’23; Hermenian De- bating Team, Four Years; Varsity Debating Team, Three Years; Fall Orator Hermenians, ’21; First Orator Hermenian Anniversary ’23; Adjutant American Legion, ’2l-’22; FiJdent Honor Council, ’21-’22; Debating Council. 22- ’23; President Lincoln County Club, ’23; Minis- terial Student; Fellow in Bible, ’23; Married. Lincoln County is truly proud of Montie A. Davis as its representative in the Class of ’23. During Montie’s high school days he won for himself much honor in the fields of oratory and debate. Montie saw active serv- ice during the World War, and was gassed twice during the Meuse-Argonne offensive. From the beginning of his college course, Montie has been recognized by both student body and faculty as a student who sees right through things to a reasonable and logical conclusion; as an excellent debater; as an eloquent speaker; as a business man of keen judgment; as a leader of marked ability; and as a friend of the rarest type. From us Montie goes to the Seminary to complete his prepara- tion for his life’s work. I I T I f - i T t r Senior Class Thomas B. Depriest MOUNT OLIVE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Weight, 125. Depriest entered Mississippi College as a freshman with the Class of ’23. He is a man of rare abilities. No man in college is more studious and shows a higher degree of schol- arship than Depriest. He takes an interest in all activities of college life, but puts his school work first always. Depriest withdrew from college last year to teach school, at which position he made good. He came back to Mississippi College during the summer term doubly strong. Having made up the required work last summer, he is ready to go out with his class. Depriest is a man of high ideals and a logical thinker. Through his persist- ence he has won the esteem and respect of both student body and faculty, and we feel sure that this same spirit of persistence will win the respect and admiration of those w ith whom he will come in contact in his chosen pro- fession. Joh n William Dickens GREENWOOD, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 21; Height, 6 ' Weight, 165. Captain Freshman Football, ’19; Freshman Baseball, ’20; Assistant Baseball Manager, ’21 Varsity Baseball, ’21-’22-’23; Captain Baseball, ’23; Varsity Football. f 2l-’22; “M” Club, ’21 ’22-’23 ; President “M” Club, ’21-’22; Gamma Alpha Lambda Society; Chairman Executive Council, 22-’23 ; Secretary Athletic Council, ’22- ’23; Senior Honor Society; President Student Body Association, ’22-’23; Philomathean ; Dis- tinction. When John first met Biology in the fall of 1919 very few suspected that in three short years he would be wielding the gavel as pres- ident of the student body, the greatest honor to be conferred on a man by his fellow stu- dents. John is also captain of the baseball team, and has played three years on the foot- ball team. John is one of the best students in school, a hard worker, a clear thinker, with the highest ideals; a good sportsman, and possessed with the determination and ability to live up to his convictions. “Dick” is spoken of by his associates as “the old reliable”, meaning that he is unfaltering in his trusts, always looking forward, and willing and glad to do his part, or more, in anything that may be asked of him. In predicting success for John one has but to look ever his record in college, and see that he has never failed, and that he has the courage and perseverance to succeed in anything that he attempts. 29 30 Senior Class Alvon Humphrey Doty WINONA, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 21 ; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Weight, 162. Cheer Leader, Fall ’20; Assistant Cheer Leader, ’22-’23 ; Quartet, ’20-’22; Glee Club, ' 19-’22; Manager Glee Club. ’21 -’22; Poet Junior Class; Executive Council. ’22-’23; Class Baseball. ’19- ’22; Class Football. ’22-’23; Class Basketball, ’2l-’22; Assistant Manager Baseball. ’21; Busi- ness Manager “L’Allegro”, ’22-’23. Doty is all over a real musician. Even his smiles are melodies to those who know him. To his college associates his charming voice and musical nature have become a part of the campus, and on many occasions has led the student body in songs and cheers. And during the summer months he has attracted much attention as an evangelistic singer. Students paid tribute to his ability and gen- iality by electing him manager of the Glee Club and business manager of the Annual. Doty is one of the most affable and pleasant men on the campus. Whenever you meet him you get a broad smile and a cheery greet- ing. He is a level-headed fellow in his books, in the class room, in business, and with the ladies. He has chosen a musical career, and he has our sincere wishes for a successful fu- ture. Ray McClung Dykes OSYKA, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 10 ; Weight, 190. Class Football, ’20-’21, ’22-’23; Executive Coun- cil. ’ 2 1 -’ 22 ; Vice-President Louisiana Club, ’2 2-’ 2 3 ; Ministerial Student; Active Pastor for Four Years. In this man we discovered a heart as fath- omless as life itself. In the garden of this world seldom do we find such a rose in all its beauty and wondrous bloom — the gracious radiant rose that lives in joyous loyalty to the velvet sunlight and fragrant air to cheer the downcast and despairing — to love, to lift, and to comfort. Ray is always gentle and kind, keen in his sympathies, with a smile for everybody — there is so much in his rare life to make music in the hearts of men. For four years he has been an active pastor. Further- more, as a representative of the Pan-Amer- ican Life Insurance Company, he has written more than one hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance. Mrs. Dykes, his wife, grad- uted from Hillman with the Class of ’22. She is a lovely woman, endowed with a super- abundance of talent. Ray loves her!!! We do, too ! ! ! P. S. — Yes, they’re going to LOUISVILLE. 1 T I f I f ¥ U All e gr o emor Cla ss Tommy L. Everett BRAXTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 9 I Weight, 165. Varsity Basketball. ’20- ' 21 ;22- ' 2S; Varsity Football, Four Years; Captain Football, 2 Jd, Varsity Track Team, ’21-’22; “Y ’ Basketball Team, ’19-’20; “M” Club, Four Years, Class Baseball, ’20-’21. ’21- 22; President M Club. ' 20-’21 ; Commander American Legion, -l Ministerial Student; Hermenian. “Salty” is a gentleman in the highest de- gree and a man about whom too much can never be said. A good sport, a parson an athlete, and a man very greatly admired by all members of the student body and faculty. He came to M. C. fresh from the U. S. Navy, and has spent the past four years helping to put Mississippi College on the athletic map, as well as mastering the required work for a degree. He stands as a very much alive and noble example of a man who is an athlete without being a roughneck. This man is one of the most consecrated Christian char- acters in school and if he keeps up the pace which has been his for the past four years the Baptist denomination will know him as one of their strongest leaders. Joe V. Fairchild WEST HELENA, ARKANSAS Bachelor of Arts Class Football, ’20-’21, ’21-’22, ’22-’23; Alien Club. ’19-’20, ’22-’23 ; Class Basketball, ’22-’23; Hermenian. And could anything good come out of Arkansas? Joe came to Mississippi College to prove that is surely a fact. In stature he may be a little below par, but if you are looking for the stuff from which men are made you would take him first. In the pres- ence of the Class of ’23 Joe has transformed himself into a bundle of utilities. We are not endowed with such intelligence that w T e can look into the future, but if we were, I am sure we would all look w r ith amazement at the fact. A brilliant lawyer, they say, he is going to be. Let us rejoice with him in every forward step. Jenior Cla ss Jasper Herrert Fortenberry OAKVALE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' n ; Weight, 175. Varsity Football, Coach Class Football. ’20-’21; Varsity Football, Coach Class Football. Mana- ger and Member Track Team. Class Baseball.

Vice-President Stu- dent Body Association, President Senior Class, “M” Club, Senior Honor Society, ’22-’23. We wish to introduce to you and his many admirers the February Jasper H. Fortenberry, better known as “ Ranee” to the M. C. boys. Men who can keep up in their classes in a satisfactory way and who can go among the ladies just when they want to, are few and far between, but such a man is “Ranee”. He is a scholar of no mean ability, and an athlete of fine qualities. His record in football and his record as a gentleman on the M. C. cam- pus will never be forgotten by those with whom he lived and moved. “Ranee” has had many honors bestowed upon him during his college career, and he has discharged each one excellently. We feel confident that he will some day bring honor and fame to him- self and to his Alma Mater. Guy H. George MANTE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 6 ' 2 ; Weight, 160. Entered M. C. 1915, as Freshman; out four years; two years in Servi ce; re-entered M. C., ’20. Ministerial Student; Class Basketball, ’21- ' 22; Vice-President Philomathean ; Marshal for Philomathean Anniversary. Guy was born early one frosty morning in the red hills of Webster County. After fin- ishing high school, Guy entered Mississippi College in the fall of 1915. In the fall of 1917 he enlisted in the army of Uncle Sam. After being overseas some sixteen months, he re- turned to the United States. The following summer he was called into the service of God’s kingdom, and, feeling this responsibility on his shoulders, he reentered M. C. in the fall of 1920. The subject of this sketch is a live student in college activities, and is loved by all who know him. When he finishes here, he is planning to continue preparation for his life’s calling in the Seminary at Louisville. We shall watch with expectancy Guy’s career as he presses on toward the goal of Christian service. 1 32 L ' A1 1 e g r o 19 2 3 Senior Class Malcolm Elisha Gillis HAZELHURST, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 6 ' ; Weight, 150. Class Track, ’21; Class Basketball. ’22-’23; Philomathean Debating Team, ’23; First Orator Philomathean Anniversary; Distinction. In Malcolm we find one of the steadiest and hardest working fellow r s in college. He came to us four years ago with very limited means and deficient high school training, but with the fixed purpose of drinking deep of the “Pierian spring of knowledge”. Although he has been compelled to w r ork his way through college and has not lived the dormitory life, his influence has been felt in every phase of college life, especially in literary activities. Malcolm is an excellent student — in fact, he is a Math, and Greek shark — couldn’t be oth- erwise, being kin to Zeus. His ambition is to get a Ph.D. from Chicago University, to make the world wake up when he begins his career as a missionary-teacher, and to marry one of the sweetest girls in the Southland. Joseph Alonzo Gillis HAZELHURST, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 1 1 ; Weight, 155. Philomathean; Scrub Football, ’19; Class Bas- ketball, 22; Philomathean Marshal, 22; Amer- ican Legion. “Lon” was born somewhere on the Copiah Creek in Copiah County. At the age of eight- een he roamed the West in search of a spot to call home, but sought in vain, and soon re- turned to his native haunts, where the sweet sugar cane grows. He finished his high school education in Dentville High School. When the Great War came on, “Lon” heard the call of his country, and served as a faithful dough- boy with the A. E. F. in sunny France. Upon his return home, he entered M. C. in the fall of 1919. “Lon” has been a faithful and loyal student, and has a staunch friend in every- one who knows him. After receiving his sheepskin he expects to enter the teaching profession, and we feel that the profession will be strengthened by his having entered it. “Lon’s” school days are not over; he dreams of still higher and better things. Some day he expects to receive a higher de- gree from some university. We hope that with steady strides he may continue to climb, ever holding the banner of “Excelsior” high above him. 33 Senior Class Jame s Vernon Harvey CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 21 ; Height, 5 ' 4 ; Weight, 135. This young man discovered America Feb- ruary 6, 1901, by landing in the home of Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Harvey, near Hazel- hurst, Miss. The family soon moved to Durant, Miss., where Vernon received his grammar and high school training. He en- tered the Freshman Class at M. C. in the fall of 1919. He has made friends by the score. Loyalty characterizes Vernon. He has proved his loyalty by his devotion to his par- ents, school, and church. Not once in four years has he been absent from chapel exer- cises at college. He is a lover of nature, and with his gift of art he is sure to succeed in any line of architecture that he pursues. William Edward H ellen LOUIN, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 26; Height, 6 ' 2 ; Weight, 200. Ministerial Student; Hermenian; Vice-President Ministerial Association, ’21-’22; Class Volleyball. ’ 21 -’ 22 . Nevermore shall we say that nothing good comes from the piney woods of Mississippi, for the life of our friend, “W. E.”, has proved this a mistaken opinion of the long straw dis- trict. “Ed.” was born and reared in Louin, Miss. After finishing Louin High School in 1917, he enlisted in the U. S. Navy and served two years at sea. Leaving the navy, he en- tered into a nobler service and enlisted as a soldier of the Cross and a minister of Christ. He entered Mississippi College in 1919. In his ministerial work he has served three suc- cessful years as pastor. He is a thorough stu- dent, a deep thinker, a pleasant speaker, a determined worker, quiet, unassuming, gentle, friendly, and a loving father. We expect great things of you, “Ed.”, because unlimited possibilities are before you. 1 LA 11 e gro 19 2 3 Senior Class Lacy Chapelle Hodges HESTERVILLE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 6 ' ; Weight, 200. “Mississippi Collegian” Staff, ’2-1 -’22, ’22-’23; Hermenian Debating Team, ’21-22; Varsity De- bating Team. 22-’23; held offices in Hermenian Literary Society from Sub-Marshal to President; Prophet of Class of ’23; Anni versarian of Her- menian Literary Society. “Cyclone” came to us in the fall of 1919, after having finished at the Attala County Agricultural High School. While he was there he won two medals for oratory. Hodges was not long in proving himself a worthy student both in the class room and elsewhere. Let no one accuse him of not always being loyal to the call of duty. No student occu- pies a greater place in the hearts of his fellow students than “Cyclone”. His ideals are high and noble, and he possesses traits seldom found in men. As an orator, he is excelled by none in school. “Cyclone” is also a lady’s man; for further information see the ladies. We feel that no alumnus will reflect more honor on his Alma Mater than he. The entire class wish him unlimited success in the field he chooses to show his talent. DeWitt Otho Horne OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 10 ; Weight, 155. Executive Council, ’2l-’22; Secretary and Treas- urer Ministerial Association, ’22-’23; President Hermenian Society; Hermenian Anniversary Ticket, ’23; Mason. “D. O.”, as he is called among his college mates, hails to light from the good old county of Lafayette. After graduating from Oxford High in 1917, he enlisted shortly after in the army to help settle the disturbance that had arisen across the sea. There he served about two years. After doing his part for his Uncle Sam, he entered M. C. in the fall of 1919, where he at once found his w r ay to the hearts of both faculty and students. “D. O.” is quiet, reserved, and one whom to know is to love. He is around the top in intellect, schol- arship, and integrity. “D. O.”, we shall watch you from year to year as you climb the ladder higher and higher above those with whom you started out in life. Success is with- in your grasp. 35 «• Senior Class William Woodall Izard HAZELHURST, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 26; Height, 5 ' 11 ; Weight, 153. Class Football, ’21-’22-’23; Class Basketball, 22; Secretary of Philomathean Society, ’22; Banner Bearer, ’23; Band, ’23; Class Baseball, ’23. William Woodall Izard comes from Copiah County, which sends a score of men each year to adorn the campus of Mississippi College. His high school career ended 1916-17. He came to Mississippi College the following summer as one destined to become, on August 5, 1917, a member of the famous Battery “E”, 140th F. A., being transferred May 27, 1919, to Battery “C”, 320th F. A., in both of which he rendered commendable service. Woodall entered Mississippi College in 1919-20. Since that time he has passed many mileboards on the road to success. He believes in an all- round development, consequently, he is excep- tionally active in every phase of student ac- tivity. He is the same Woodall wherever seen, always living on the sunny side of life. H is coolness and modesty make him all the more admirable, and to know ' him is to know what a real, genuine “scout” is. Success is his, already. Walter E. Kalinowski CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 37; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Weight, 190. Born July 12th. Lapinoch, Poland; Educated in Germany and France; Graduated from Gymna- sium in Kennyoch; went to University, then fin- ished his studies at Munich, graduating from the Royal Academy of Arts, Berlin, in Theory and ’Cello; made a concert tour through Europe with very much success; about twelve years in America, playing in Symphony Orchestra; Di- rector of Music at State Agricultural College of Arkansas; Teacher of ’Cello and Harmony in Wisconsin School of Music; Teacher of Musical Appreciation at State University of Wisconsin; Director of Music. Mississippi A. and M. College, two years; Director of Music, Mississippi Col- lege, ’192-2 — Although this man has been at Clinton but a short time he has made a host of friends. Clinton has never known a more successful and talented musician. As director of the Glee Club and Band, he has made those organizations eminently worth while to Mis- sissippi College. The church choir, under his direction, has become one of the best in the state. The past year Prof. Kalinowski has been connected with the modern language de- partment as Professor of German. Working here, he has developed several excellent Ger- man students. 36 « J Senior Class Herman E. Kinsey CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 6 feet; Weight, 155.

He completed his “campus course” with the very highest honors in the summer of 1920, while he was attending the summer school at Louisville University. Still determined to complete his education, “Hop” came back to M. C. in the fall of 1921, and has pursued his studies zealously. He is a deep thinker, a pleasant speaker, and a good friend to all. His influence has been felt in every phase of college life. An ardent sup- porter of athletics, a loyal member in society, coupled with his ready smile and cheerful dis- position, makes him a favorite with both fac- ulty and classmates. If a college career is in- dicative of after life, he is destined to be very successful when he takes up his chosen profession as teacher. James Marion Leg an ESTES, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 20; Height, 5 ' 4 ; Weight, 125. President Winston County Club; Flunkey Big Four, ’21-’22; Hermenian. Marion entered M. C. in the fall of 1919, in company with many others of his bewil- dered classmates. The excitement soon having been understood, the business of work came to his attention, and since that day he has been putting in many scholarly hours. Marion is one whose friendship, when once gained, can be depended upon at all times. He is popular, an all-round good fellow, and also a splendid scholar, a man that believes in his class and college. One of these fi ne days he will be heard from again, and that time it will he as a successful man in his chosen life’s work. Of this we feel very sure.

His early education was received in the rural schools of that county. “Cliff” served in the capacity of a private in the army for a while during the Worid War. He came to us in the fall of 1919, and made us a right good fresh- man. He has won the admiration of all his colleagues and most all the ladies. We hold for him a great success in the pursuits of Chemistry. Coral Floyd Lowe DOSSVILLE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 21; Height, 5 ' 10 ; Weight, 149.

The September winds of 1919 that blew in this Leake County lad brought to Mississippi College one of the most loyal, faithful, and industrious sons she has ever known. Before the completion of his first year’s work the student body knew that one destined to fame in the field of oratory had made his debut among them. Although out of school the session of 1921-22, he returned this year, and with renewed vigor and zest entered into the various collegiate activities. Every field of college life has been invaded by this quiet but unassuming member of the Senior Class, and always his touch has been a beneficial one. With a rich and varied college life behind him, he goes out into the world with the best wishes of his many friends, who predict for him a brilliant and successful future as a member of the bar.

In the fall of 1919, after the smoke of battle had cleared away, someone heard the wailing notes of a violin somewhere in Jennings Hall. “Jakey” is a brilliant student, a skillful man- ager, a thoughtful friend, a tireless worker, and, above all, a prince of good fellows. He has played varsity baseball four years, and it is always a joy to the boys to see “Jakey” go to bat, as he hits with a terriffic blow. He has been one of the mainstays on the class football team for four years also. Always an optimist, democratic, forever smiling, “Jakey” showers gladness and good will wherever he goes. Probably this is the reason why he was selected by the student body as the most pop- ular man in school last year. Men like Henry B. Lyon never fail.

But he was destined to be a leader. He goes about his business with a quiet, un- assuming air, defying even the arrows of “Dan Cupid” to shake his course. “Mac” is a likeable chap, and is held in high esteem by both faculty and students. During his four years’ sojourn here he has been an ardent stu- dent, ever working for the best interest of his college and fellow students, and has proven himself a man of sterling worth, with high ideals, cheerful, determined, and willing to work. To this gentle man of men goes a big share of credit for the success of the Collegian this year. 39 1 L ' Allegro 19 2 3 a Senior Class William Martin Meeks CHALYBEATE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' 8 ; Weight, 150.

We are indebted to Tippah County for such a lad. Talk about a ladies’ man— but he is one! You may wonder whether he is popular with the boys, too. To this we will reply, “yes”, because all of his classmates have a warm spot in their hearts for him. lie is an all-round man. As to the fighting spirit of the Choctaw basketeers, he was excelled by none. When the years have rolled by and dust has covered this book, we will look back with pleasure to those happy hours spent with “Bill”, and shall value each as a precious pearl in our memory. We all feel confident that in the years to come his achievements will bring honor to old M. C. Ray Anderson Owen LIBERTY, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 6 ' ; Weight, 180.

It was his determination to climb higher that made his achievements possible. “Squirrel”, as he is called, was a soldier during the Great War, but when the war closed he was ready to become a student again. He is known for his shrewdness and business ability. In ora- tory he has been able to climb Mount Nebo, view the promised land, and to partake of the milk and honey thereof. He loves history, and his ambition is to become another “Tite”. He is also a candidate for the hand of the South’s ideal girl. The eyes of his schoolmates will be upon him as he climbs the heights of fame, which only men can climb. 1 40 IS — r y aii 19 2 3 Senior Class John Thomas Partlow PLANTERSVILLE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 22; Height, 5 ' 9 I Weight, 155.

Since that time he has shared the sorrows and partaken of the joys of the Class of ’23. He is a hard, consistent worker, which has won for him the respect of the faculty and of his fellow students. His disposition is such that he makes friends of all with whom he comes in contact. In stu- dent body and class activities he has always played a leading part, probably reaching his height in class athletics, where from the first he has been recognized as one of the best men on the field. A prediction that he will make a success of any line of work that he may undertake would not be amiss, for a man with his qualifications cannot fail to reach any goal that he may set for himself.

She, and all the citizens of Baldwyn at that time, bear testimony supporting the fact that “Runt’s” first lessons were almost beyond human endurance. But “Runt” practiced overtime. And today, by his untiring efforts, his ever-increasing faith, his unimpeachable moral integrity, he holds this same people, who at one time resented his voice, with skilled and distinguished oratorical power as he tells the story! He’s a preacher — a preacher whose life has been a brilliant star of the nth mag- nitude in the realm of religious activities. No man was ever endowed with a greater zeal for lost souls. Clarence, old boy, let your motto be, “On and on”, and when you have thus spent your earthly powers, we’ll know you not as “Runt” again.

It has been said that men are born free and equal, but such is not the case. Apparently Emmett was born in the realm of superiority. He stands above others because he never tells all that he knows, neither does he attend to the business of others. Speaking of honor, this good-looking chap merits all of it. He is a student and an athlete. Of what more would a college boy wish to boast? We predict a great future for Pitt, for from men of his kind come the leaders of the business world. Eugene A. Provine BIG CREEK, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Class Football, ’20-’21, ' 21-’22; Philomathean. Being sharks in chemistry seems to be a pastime of the Provine family. “Gene” is following in the footsteps of “Dutchie”, and at almost any time of the day or night he may be found prowling around the chemistry laboratory. “Gene” is a good student, a ceaseless worker, a loyal friend, and is en- dowed with the courage and ability to succeed in anything that he undertakes. “Gene” is a fellow in chemistry this year, and by his un- tiring efforts has endeared himself to the hearts of all those who have been associated with him. “Gene” will probably continue the study of chemistry next year, and a brilliant future awaits him in anything that he under- takes. 42 7 t J r i I Senior Class John Ira Richardson HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 148.

Ira came to us from Hattiesburg in the fall of 1918. He survived the S. A. T. C. with no permanent injuries. “Rich has always been a loval Choctaw, a dependable Philo- mathean, an ardent student, an enthusiastic Christian worker, a true friend, and leader. He is quiet and unassuming, but he always has a kind word for everybody. His musical talent was early discovered, and he has been a leading member of the band during his entire stay here. After he finished his junior year he went into the Y. M. C. A. work and did not return to college until February of this vear. Because of his three semesters’ ab- sence from the campus he is not so well known to the lower classmen as he otherwise would have been.

This is “Ed”, one of the most popular boys both on the campus and at the “Stute”. A true friend, hard worker, splendid student, cheery smile, “Stute” lover, deep thinker, sing- er of note, and last, but not least, a loyal Choctaw, are some of the many attributes of this man. Coming up to college with a mu- sical “rep”, it was not long until his excellent voice and hard work had made for him a dis- tinguished place in the musical world. Other activities of college life have found in him a strong leader. Such a man as he will make the world a better place in which to live, and in so doing will make for himself a suc- cessful future. 43 Senior Class B. L. Rockett FERRIS, TEXAS Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 147. Class Football, ’21-’22, ’22-’23; Alien Club, ’22-’23. Rockett finished at Gordo High School, Gordo, Ala. He came to us in 1918-19, in the stormy days of the S. A. T. C., in which he took a very active part. He did not come back the next year, hut reentered in 1920-21. He has proven himself an honest and thor- ough student in every respect, taking part in all college activities. Rockett is not a “jelly- bean”, BUT gives especial attent ion to the ladies. He has won the esteem of both fac- ulty and students. “To know him is to love him.” Whatever profession he chooses in life, we can predict for him a success. Louie G.

He graduated at Monticello High School in the session of 1918-19. As a student, “L. G.” has proven to be one of the best in his class. His record will show that he has always gone at his work with a firm determination to w in. As an athlete, he has always proven to be a valuable man. His work there speaks well for him. He always works as hard in athletic contests as in his class work. He has won the respect and esteem of everyone in school, and always has a good w ' ord for everyone. He plans to enter the profession of teaching just as soon as he has finished his w ' ork here as a student. May we always have such faithful students as “L. G.” ! 44 f r t A 1 f r t Senior Class Marcus M. Russell MONTICELLO, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' 9; Weight, 170.

When our hero left the foothills of Law- rence County and the last faint echo of the never-to-be-forgotten ‘ hee-haw” had died on the early morning air, there was a feeling of expectancy, of hope — and shoes. “Skeeter”, as he is commonly called by everyone, including our beloved “TITE”, soon became the fa- vorite of students and faculty, though at one time “Dutchie” threatened to spank him for keeping too late hours with the pink shirt- waist. He has had, from the very beginning, the banner of “Excelsior” before him, and now that he is reaching one goal, his friends ex- pect for him nothing but success in the highest degree. Chemistry is his hobby, and he is now pushing Prof. Wood for the chair of chemistry in our beloved college. J. A. Sandifer CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 150. Class Football, ’20-’21, ’21-’22, ’22-’23; Hermen- ian. This talented young man saw the early days of his life in Copiah County, Mississippi, and attended grammar school at Wesson, Miss. He then entered Lincoln-Copiah A. H. S., but left before the close of his senior year to join Battery “E”, with the Mississippi College stu- dents. He spent twelve months overseas in the greatest and largest class that he probably will ever see. He returned and entered Mis- sissippi College in the fall of 1919 ’here he has made a brilliant record. 45 H 7 L ' All egro 19 2 3 g| 46 Senior Class W. C.

He worked with us hard for a couple of years, but did not show up the following one. When he came back this year we found that he had been so busy with his courtship and marriage that he forgot about M. C. Working harder this year than ever before, he is proving to be one of our best students. We are glad he is back to finish with the class this year, and wish for him and his wife, as they go out into the world, a happy and successful future.

Men who can keep up with their classes in a satisfactory way, and walk around on the campus or down in town and seldom look at a book are few and far between, but in “Bill” we find just this type of man. During his first two years at Mississippi College he dis- tinguished himself in Physics, and during his last two years he has directed the physics laboratory work, and never found any prob- lem or experiment too deep to reason out. As an electrician he is wonderful, and some day he will make one of our country’s fore- most Physics teachers. A fellow’ just like “Bill” is raiely ever found. He is a very close observer, a deep thinker, and very little influenced by public opinion. “Bill” is a friend to all, and we predict a great future for him. iir L ' Allegro 19 2 3 v Senior Class Jrvin B.

Having finished his high school course in the Philadelphia High School in the spring of 1919, he entered the A. M. College as a freshman the following fall. Due to a su- perior degree of scholarship, Trapp did the first three years of college work in two years. He retired from college life last year to in- struct the youth of the land, at which position he made good. He came to us this year to finish his college work and receive his degree. Trapp comes to us experienced in all activities of college life. Having taken part in athletic and literary activities while at A. M., he entered whole-hearttdly into the same activi- ties here, and has won for himself the esteem of every member of the student body and faculty. Trapp aspires to be the leading phy- sician of his day and the companion of some Southern damsel. For his ambition we admire him and hope for him a great and glorious future.

On February 12, 1899, there occurred in State Line, Miss., an event of interest to the students of Mississippi College in general and to the Class of ’23 in particular. This great event was the discovery of State Line by “Spike”. After attending the grammar schools in Alabama and Louisiana and finishing high school at Leakesville, “Spike” decided to increase his store of knowledge, and entered M. C. as a member of the famous S. A. T. C., Company 2. A true lriend, splendid student, deep thinker, “Stute” lover in his senior year, and a 100 per cent Choctaw are some of the many attributes of this fine fellow . By his unswerving loyalty and his kindly, helpful disposition toward all, we predict a success- ful career in the business world — that is, if he does not choose a better half before he gets his start. n L’A 11 e gro 19 2 3 g_ Senior Class Robert Herschel Tomlinson CHALYBEATE, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Weight, 145.

Surely Tippah County sent us one of her choicest men when she sent us “Tommy”. He is a modest, clean, ambitious, big-he arted fel- low who greets everybody with a smile and a kind word. His affable way among the boys and winning way among the girls gives him the distinction of being one of the most popular men in school. To know’ him is to love him, and everyone is made better by hav- ing known him. “Tommy” is also a leader, as his honors and achievements show, and the fellows are few who possess such a variety of good qualities. In the tomorrow of life he will distinguish himself and honor his Alma Mater as one of the greatest physicians of the South, and prove to the world that there is always room at the top for a real man.

Kelly first saw’ the gleam of day in Smith County, October 21, 1897. He received his high school training in the Smith County A. H. S. at Mize, graduating in 1915. He then entered Mississippi College as a freshman. He responded to the call of the colors during the World War, serving eighteen months in the navy. Realizing the need of further preparation for his life’s work, he re- turned to M. C. in the fall of 1920, and has worked laithfully ever since. His record both in school and out has been a worthy one. He is a real fellow’ in every way, and has a friend in every member of the student body and faculty. Everyone predicts for Kelly the greatest success in whatever work he chooses. 48 Senior Class Sellers Mathis Weatherall WEIR, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 23; Height, 5 ' 8 ; Weight, 150.

If friends be riches, he is a second Croesus, for “Skillet” is a prince of a fellow, and possesses that in- valuable art of making friends and keeping them. He is a most popular three-year man, a good student, and a wise leader. He is a born salesman, with sound business sense. “Skillet” is a valiant Choctaw, and one of the best cheer leaders we have ever had. His conquests in college have been happily bal- anced by a successful venture with Dan Cupid, for in July, 1922, he married Miss Martha Gibson, of McComb, Miss. He has chosen the career of a salesman, and we predict suc- cess for him in his work. Carl S. Wilson POCAHONTAS, TENNESSEE Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' n ; Weight, 170.

Four years ago Tippah County sent to Mis- sissippi College one of the best and most amia- ble boys that has ever set foot on the Choctaw campus. This boy is none other than Carl. Everybody has seen somebody who was good at some things, but one seldom sees a man who is good at everything. “Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth”, seemed to be Carl’s motto. He is quiet and unassum- ing, but he always has a kind word for every- one. As an all-round man, he is unexcelled. He was a level-headed fellow in his books, in business, in the society hall, on the athletic field, and with the ladies. In fact, a better combination cannot be found. Mississippi College does herself proud to graduate such a man as Carl. B 49 Senior Class William F. Willingham NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA Bachelor of Arts Ministerial Student; Hermenian. Born in Georgia, educated in Mississippi, present home in Louisiana, graduate of Mis- sissippi College. Now, who in the world is he? He is an American thorough-bred; never mistake him for an Irishman, although his hair is red. “Bill”, as he is called by his col- lege friends, did his grammar school work in various schools of Mississippi, finishing his high school work at Biloxi in 1917. Soon after leaving the high school he responded to his country’s call, serving in a noble way sixteen months on the Mexican border with the U. S. cavalry. At the close of the war “Bill” heard the call of his Lord to serve in a nobler army — that of the ministry. He is a man of ster- ling character, loving disposition, and admira- ble possibilities, which are sure marks of a successful life. He leaves us with the best wishes from the faculty and from his class- mates. W. D. Wilson CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 21; Height, 6 ' ; Weight, 155. Farr Medal, ’20; Fall Orator of Philomathean, ' 21; President Berry B. Y. P.

D.” is one of our most popular three- year men. Coming to us in the fall of 1919, with the rest of the present seniors, he lost no time in making for himself a warm spot in the heart of each of his classmates. Anyone who knows “W. D.” loves him. He is a gentleman of the very highest type. As an orator, “W. D.” is unsurpassed. From his freshman days he has been recognized as one of the best of the present class. As a student he is unex- celled, yet never too busy for a chat or pleas- ant word with a friend. These attributes, with his loyalty to the Choctaws, make him an ideal student. Before many years we will be hearing of this man as one of the leading barristers of the country. 50 ' ♦ Senior Class Guy F. Winstead Bachelor of Arts Age, 24; Height, 5 ' 7 ; Weight, 165. Minister; Hermenian. “Still water runs deep”. Whether that be so or not, I can’t say, but I do know that “deep water runs still”. Mr. Winstead is quiet and unassuming as a bump on a log. His motto is, “The steam that blows the whis- tle never turns the wheel”. Coursing his veins and arteries is a type of blood seldom found — the type that believes it “more blessed to give than to receive”. His heart is an open book, in which all can read. Guy was born i n Scott County, the county noted for blow- ing up dipping vats and voting for V arda- man, on March 30, 1893. After receiving an early training in high school he en- tered Clarke College, where he remained for one year. Then he entered the navy and spent two years in the service of his country. Thirteen months of this were spent in France. He then came back to Clarke for another year, and in 1920 he came to Mis- sissippi College. He entered the sophomore class here and completes his course as one haying fought a hard fight”. Guy will go to Louisville this fall, where, we hope, he will make his “M” on the preachers’ varsity squad. Martin Irl Wood MADISON, MISSISSIPPI Bachelor of Arts Age, 25; Height, 5 ' 9 ; Weight, 185. Hermenian; Ministerial Student. It is said that “seeing is believing”. This adage has been verified in the peison of our friend, “M. I.” Sometime since Noah’s ark landed on Mt. Ararat, M. C. received a mod- est, reserved, and level-headed freshman — a rare thing indeed — in the person of M. I. Wood. “M. I.” came to M. C. from Mad- ison Station, of Madison County. Like many other boys who have resolved to rise above the ordinary ranks of men in spite of circum- stances, “M. I.” found it necessary to drop out of school several times in order to resume his college course the following year. This has given him a wider experience, having had five years of successful teaching. After fin- ishing the Seminary, “M. I.” expects to realize his ideal life as a pastor. We believe in you, “M. I.”, because we have seen the ma- terial of your making. 5i 19 2 3 g| Class History A Pilgrimage from the Land of Green; Being a Short but Authentic History of the Class of Twenty-Three in Four Reels REEL One WE WERE GREEN as grass IN SPRING, BUT the sophs VERY QUICKLY INTRODUCED US into M.

THEN SOCIETY LIFE at the S T U T E added charm to OUR PERSONALITIES AND helped out WONDERFULLY. BY JUNE in ’20 YOU’D NEVER HAVE recognized us as THE SAME GUYS. We were wise AND NO LONGER ignorant. Please LIFT YOUR LID to us. reel TWO in the fall of TWENTY WE returned and filled SOPH BOOTS nicely, we came NEAR BEING walking cyclopedias, I’LL TELL the world, but SOMEHOW WE survived, thank HEAVEN, we will be rememBERED AS THE best organized and HIGHEST SPIRITED class in history of THE COLLEGE, that year we didn’t PERMIT A REEL the DOCTOR “DUTCHIE” kinda took TO US JUNIORS AND we sorta LIKED HIM. “ROBBIE” ALSO took a liking TO US AND PICKED SIX OF his varsity FOOTBALL MEN FROM OUR number. the MAN WHO CAP- TAINED THE TEAM AND made all-SOUTHERN HALF WAS TAKEN FROM our rank, all OF A SUD- DEN WE BEGAN COMING to the front AND FOLKS thing to pass.

THE FOURTH reel RETURNING ABOUT fifty-two STRONG IN the fall OF ’22 WE started on OUR LAST lap. we FURNISHED A goodly number OF THE MEN who won FAME ON THE athletic field, IN SOCIETY halls, AND IN ALL PHASES OF COLLEGE LIFE. THE PATH WE set out UPON HAS CONstantly widened UNTIL NEAR ITS end it has BECOME A GREAT gateway, INSTEAD OF A single, shady ROAD WHERE we walked TOGETHER. THERE stretches BEFORE US innumerable THOROUGHFARES leading AWAY IN all di- rections, UPON WHICH each separately MUST NOW take his WAY. AS “ALL things must have AN END”, thus we come TO THE END of our COLLEGE LIFE. WE LEAVE, but we take WITH US those MEMORIES, those IDEALS, those STANDARDS, that brotherly LOVE, and that BROAD VISION INTO the FUTURE which can NEVER leave US. 52 ( I t t i I . i JUNIORS leone whowjnd Twm LAJT PILL LI PL a 6000 BOY m iHLu hl cm rooJ 53 L ' AII S some ancient sage has said, “It is an ill wind that blows no good.” There was a mighty wind that blew from all four corners of the earth, and this wind blew together a great heterogeneous mass. In this mass were sticks, weeds, chaff, and hayseed, which, by three years of persistent plodding, has come to be what is known as the Class of 1924. The record of the Junior Class has been an excellent one. There is no one who can say aught against the class. For three years our path has been a pleasant one, and harmony has reigned continuously. No cloudy night has overshadowed our path, but, on the contrary, incessant sunshine has predom- inated. Intellectually, commendable ability has been shown. Search our Col- legians and examine the thrilling stories and essays, then you are readily convinced of this fact. Some real pictures of life have been printed on the pages. The musical lines of our poets rank among the things that are immortal in college life. The masses of text-books belong to this class. By their untiring efforts they have won the love and admiration of the professors. They have listened to their instruction and have ac- cepted that which is the basis of manhood. On the rostrum our silver-tongued orators have won no little fame. Their manly voices have calmed the masses and led them into dreams. Attentively have we heard them discuss the vital subjects of college life. Their discourses have presented solu- tions for many evils which hitherto confronted us. Our vocalists have captured their audiences with fair, sweet melodies. They have filled the night with music and made merry our hearts. We are justly proud of our athletic record. The spectator has watched the junior with interest as he plunged through the line of the opposing eleven. The varsity has always co mplimented the class yearly by choosing a goodly number of our men. Ad- mirably have these juniors represented the Blue and Gold in intercollegiate games. We have fought hard for class championships in various contests, but have won only the class championship in basketball in the session of ’22-’23, with a percentage of over nine hundred. Not one black sheep has been found among us. Character building has been given special stress. Overflowing streams of love have been offered to one another. All the more do we praise the homes of the land for sending men whose characters have so nobly reflected upon their mothers. In the trying battles of college life a clear con- science has been our guide. We have realized a good conscience is the best looking glass of heaven. We have strengthened one another by blending our lives. The advantages of championship have we seized, thus enriching our lives. We have met and communed with the all-wise Ruler, striving to follow and lead others into a pure, sunny, everlasting path. Brevity will not permit a discussion of each individual. Basing his dreams upon the past, the prophet may picture a beautiful journey for the members of the Class of ’24. Class Historian. T r a i 1 r The Call of Youth Oh, happy youth, whose genial bro v Has come upon this dusty age To cheer and comfort and endow With joy the life of child and sage, To thee is sent a ringing call. Thy country needeth burning power — Not warrior’s cry or foeman’s fall Thy watchword’s zealous dower — Hut make the moral being rise; Thy fellows’ souls w r ith thine inspire To lift our realm beyond the skies; Let reason’s law’ and faith’s desire, With comprehending trust to gain, Keep thee with singleness of aim. Thus we, the Class of Twenty-Four, Must build with virgin purity — In loving service — evermore — A structure for eternity. We come before His throne, resigned, To ease the burden of mankind. — Junior Poet. 55 i Junior Class J. A. Bryant CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MISSISSIPPI Paul Edwards NOXAPATER, MISSISSIPPI D. L.

We were great in numbers and as thoroughly ignorant and green as any “newish” bunch; still we had hopes and ambitions to achieve deeds that would make our class immortal and give us success in our individual lives. We had the characteristics that belong to every Freshman Class — the desire to visit the fair sex, attend the movie shows, meet the “cannon ball”, and preserve our precious hair. Notwithstanding appearances, we knew that our bunch was decidedly different from any that had ever entered Mississippi College. Toward the latter part of the first month the president of the Senior Class called a meeting of the meek and unorganized “newish” for the purpose of electing officers. Webster Hill was elected president. Under his faithful and dutiful guidance we arrived safely through our year’s travel, acquiring much in experience and knowledge, and anxious to start another journey towards our goal at the beginning of the present year. During the first week of the new term ex-President Hill called a meeting of the now “wide-awake” sophomores, and, after much discussion and profound oratory, George Gandy was chosen president; Hester, vice-president; Thomas Purser, secretary; Herbert Austin, treasurer; W. Z. Huggins, prophet; Robert Burns, poet. Under the leadership of these men we have been led to the altar of wisdom, and have sacrificed there all of our false hopes and ambitions and achieved within us new and noble ideas. The class has an athletic record to be proud of, last year taking the championship in basketball and baseball. Besides excelling the other classes in the sports, we have sent many men to the varsity teams, Sheffield, Austin, Lambright, Hamilton, and White going to the football team; Lambright to basketball ; and Austin, Huggins, Lam- bright, Hamilton, and White belonging to our baseball team. Not in athletics only does our class excel, for in the class rooms, social hall, B. Y. P. U., on the campus with our fellow students, and in college publications our members will rank with the best of any class. Thus we look forward to our third year at old M. C. with high hopes of making a brilliant record in all college activities. Historian. 62 rngr 50PH0M0RE CLASS- OFFICERS Sophomore Poem They told us when sophomores we became, The work would all be o’er, But somebody lied, I can tell you; The darn stuff comes up more and more. When a man says the work is all over, You can take a t ip from me: He’s either just plain tired of living, Or he’s going at work like a bee. But, after all, why did we come To the best old school in the state? Were we just looking round for some place to exist? Surely that is not our fate. We came to learn how to really live, To enjoy to the full this life aright, To serve with our best our fellow man, To do our duty duly morn and night. Now we can’t get something for nothing; We’ve got to pay the price. We don’t get the best things out of life By merely a turn of the dice. But when, looking back in after years, To the things we’ve done in school, Are we going to say, “We’re satisfied”, Or, “I’ve certainly been a fool”? Sophomore Poet. 63 £ TR«NC.oui NeruoERr SOPHOMORE CLASS 6S 67 Freshman Poem Fellows, our high school life is over, And we’re beginning our college days, So let us drop our boyish tricks And do things in man-like ways. I have one suggestion to offer the class To which I know’ we will all agree. It is that we strive to be the best Of the many classes that have finished M. C. Although at times we will feel discouraged, And things won’t go as we think that they should, But just remember the man that finishes his work Is the man that always makes good. So let us strive to do our best In the studies that we will take, Because we will be judged in after years By the college record we make. Now, let us not think for a minute That our course is nothing but work and strife, But let us at all times remember That we’re having the times of our life. So, while we are here, let us study And a’so have lots of fun, And never give up what we’ve started Until the work required is done. Let us live so that when we finish this school And the Class of ’26 is no longer combined, Let us leave a good name deep down in the hearts Of those that we leave behind.

Freshman Class History The Freshman Class, or the Class of ’26, came in and absolutely held up, in every respect, the standards of their Alma Mater. Upon their arrival it seemed that at once they caught that great, indefinable, but powerful concept called college spirit, which has and always will prevail in the minds and hearts of every Mississippi College man who worships and loves his Alma Mater. The Freshman Class put out a wonderful football machine for first-year men, and in every way have they had that wonderful fighting spirit and have deserved the name of the “Choctaw Papoose”. There will be seen on the varsity next year a wealth of material from this year’s freshmen, and, until the hills are worn out and the rivers cease to flow, till the clouds are weary of replenishing springs, and the springs forget to gush and the rills to sing, shall their names be kept fresh with reverent honors, which are inscribed upon the book of history, beloved to every Mississippi College man. 69 FRESHMEN 70 i (Hinas blmu fnr blmit, btsgut- ing titrli bg iurlj, fnr mtr unwlb ttnt rrtrrat tun t’ntbrr IlntrV CHOCTAW CHEER LEADERS Ch eer Lea Leaders S.

Wow! 76 Review of the Season HE football team that went out from Mississippi College this season was one of the best squads that ever represented her on the gridiron. Under the direction of Coach Robinson and Coach King the grid practice opened with about sixty togged huskies scrapping like veterans for a berth on the Choctaw team. Although the 1922 football season did not close with quite so high a percentage of victorious results as did the season of 1921, the Choc- taws preserved and advanced the ancient “do or die” tradition of old M. C. They fought clean, hard battles, as old Choctaws do, and gained for themselves and the col- lege the commendation of every opponent. Every contest gave evidence of all that was in them. The Blue and Gold was impressively defended by Coach Robbie’s proteges and always maintained the exalted position it has gained in college ranks. Win, lose, or draw, the Collegians fought gallantly and with undying spirit for the Alma Mater, their grit and courage unparalleled when in the face of certain defeat. The morale increased as the game progressed ; the stronger forces of the opposition did not gain an inch but what there was displayed to a great degree the sterling qualities of the Choc- taws. Every man was in on his share of the spoils or despoils, as the case turned out to be. They played for M. C. with all their intrinsic power — not with fickle flashes of brilliancy, but with that all-important element, “consistency”. Eleven men added their scrappiness to every scramble and emphasized to their opponents the calibre of their gameness, whether they won or lost. Wherever the Choctaws were defeated it was not because they did not outgame their opponents or fight harder, but because the odds of brawn and experience of the much larger colleges placed them at a great disadvantage. The state championship has been left in a muddle, and no one can claim it. How- ever, if it could have been decided on a basis of comparative scores, Mississippi College would hold the state championship. The Choctaws have responded to nine war whoops and brought back six scalps. Our schedule opened on September 30 with a game against the Louisiana College Panthers, in which the Indians handed them the small end of the horn by a score of 22 to O. There was no outstanding feature to claim special attention other than that it was the first game of the season, and much pep and fight was exhibited. The following week the Choctaws went to meet Tulane at New Orleans for their annual tilt. The Tulane defeat is a thorn in the flesh due to the fact that, having approached by force and skill, we failed to possess. Never have our men made a more 79 beautiful and pleasing showing in the beginning but made a failure in the end, the score being 30 to o. On October 13, at Pine Bluff, Ark., we met the Henderson-Brown eleven. In one of the hardest fought games of the season, we won by a score of 3 to o. On October 20, during the state fair at Jackson, the Choctaw braves overwhelmed the Howard College Bulldogs, who had just one week before held the Mississippi A. M. to a scoreless tie. That 28 to O victory provided a climax for the celebration of “Baptist Day”. The Choctaws went to Texas on October 28, and encountered the strong Baylor Bears at Waco. The Bears dazzled the Indians with their Western method of play- ing football and defeated them by a score of 40 to 7. Texas fans complimented the Mississippi ans on their fight, and reported that to be the best game up to that time on the Baylor campus. The Choctaw eleven scalped the Millsaps Majors November 4 at Jackson. It was a hard-fought, but slow game. It seemed that our men could not get together, several men being shifted out of their regular positions. Although the Majo rs put up an exceptionally good scrap, they could not handle our bunch, as the score was 13 to 7. On Armistice Day, November 11, the Choctaw warriors met their worst defeat of the season. The Florida University ’Gators were victors in a 58 to o game. It was played on a sandy field in Tampa and was witnessed by 4,500 people. On the muddy Provine Field the Birmingham-Southern Panthers met a slippery defeat at the hands of the Choctaws November 18. The game was exceedingly slow, and ended with the score 6 to O. The final game of the season was staged at Mobile, Ala., with Springhill, on “Tur- key Day”. The fray was an exciting event. Each team scored in the first quarter. M. C. kicked goal and Springhill did not. The Indians and Hillians then played three scoreless quarters and made the score a 7 to 6 victory for M. C. The following is the schedule and results: September 30 — M. C 22; Louisiana College o October 7 — M. C 10; Tulane 30 October 13 — M. C 3; Henderson-Brown o October 20 — M. C 28 ; Howard o October 28 — M. C 7 ; Baylor 40 November 4 — M. C 13; Millsaps 7 November 11 — M. C o; University of Florida 58 November 18 — M. C 6; Birmingham-Southern o November 30 — M.

In position of left guard, Captain Salty has won a place on the all-state team for two years, and has been mentioned by many as an all-Southern man. This record speaks for itself, and can be justified when Salty is seen in action. lie has the distinguished honor of guiding one of the best Choctaw teams ever produced. We regret that this is his last year. Stuart, Captain-elect, Tackle For three years “Aunt” has taken care of a tackle position in grand style, and we are glad that he is to get out the old togs next season and lead the Choctaw r s to championship. Smear- ing plays in the backfield is his long suit. In spite of his weight he is fast and aggressive, which makes him a terror to any team. Fortenberry, Guard, Fullback “Ranee” gave our opponents more trouble than they could withstand when they attempted a line play. In leading interference he could smear up defense in all directions. At breaking up plays he works like a veteran. He always has the old fight, and even though this is his last year, his name will never be forgotten. Dickens, Center, End “Dick” continued his stellar work throughout the entire season, and lived up to his past record. No man on the team plays more consistent football than “Dick”. He is one of those men who is good anywhere you put him. We are all sorry to see “Dick” lay aside his togs. 81 Lambright, Quarter As a quarterback this year, “Bob” played his best football of the two years membership in the Choctaw aggregation. He is cool and self-possessed, and the manner in which he ran the team is significant of his wisdom in the art of football. Parks, Half A sketch is not necessary here. His picture tells enough. Every man that knows football knows that “Cy” is a running wonder on the gridiron. His side-stepping, speed, line-plunging, and ability to snag down passes are sensational features, and his endurance cannot be explained. Watch out, Ole Miss! This 150 pounds of avoirdupois is not to be trifled with. Long, Fullback Evon was a star in class football last year. To say that he was equally a star on the varsity this year would be no exaggeration. He; is a sure ground gainer on offense and a demon on defense. He smashes the best of interference and never fails to get his man. We are expecting great performances of him next year. Hudson, Tackle “Pinch” is the boy who uses a good brand of football and can give any sized man lots of pun- ishment. His grit, fight, and determination make him hard to handle. He can open a hole, and his defense work is unrivaled. He is a sure tackier, and we hope he will help win the “rag” next season. 82 Austin, End Here is the obstacle that was always in the opponents’ way on right end runs. He was also hard to handle on offense, too, because he could certainly cut em down. He is quickly dow r n under a punt, receives passes with ease, and at tackling he is a marvel. Sheffield, Center Gaze upon the man who is a football genius. “Shep” is a hard-hitting, gritty center. From Tulane to Spring Hill ‘‘Shep” never wavered in his fight. He is an accurate passer, and then opens a hole. On defense he is a smashing terror to the offense, and tackles the opponent for a loss. He occupied the berth as pivot man on the all-state team this season. ) I Bailey, End “Wap” can flank ’em around left end until it is almost impossible to gain over him. He goes down under punts, receives passes, and tackles like a veteran. He rode in the left flank berth on the all-state team this season. He puts plenty of fight and pep in the game, and always uses his head. Just watch his record next season. WROTEN, Guard Wroten was a member of the squad who could be depended upon to play his best every minute he was in the game. Weighing 190, he was one of the hardest men in uniform to move. Al- though this being his first year at footballing, he was a great strength to the line. His size and fearlessness will make him a terror to his opponents during the next two years. 83 19 2 3 THE FOOTBALL BANQUET The A nnual Athletic Banquets One of the best banquets that has ever been given since “Heck” Bardin fell in love was given in Jennings Hall dining room December 5, 1922. It was the date for the annual football banquet, and among those present were the faculty, the athletes, and the student body. Twelve football letters were presented, and also thirteen baseball letters, by Prof. lord, chairman of the Athletic Council. This banquet was a real get-together. Several members of the faculty and student body made speeches, the college quartet sang, and, in general, everything was carried off in splendid style, mak- ing the students and professors firmly realize that they would do their best to carry on toward a greater Mississippi College. Everyone left the banquet with a keener sense of love and respect for his Alma Mater, and the basketball banquet in March is looked forward to with a great deal of anticipation by the whole college. This banquet brought the students and faculty more closely together, and it has brought about that ever-increasing fellowship for which Choctawland is noted. 84 L ' A 11 e gr o tball. R B eview as Coach Kins - takes pride in being victorious in anything, but this being his first year to coach our boys, they had to get onto his system. The standard he wishes to produce is a one hundred per cent sportsman. It is easy enough to put out a winning team with the wrong kind of tactics, but we believe a winning team can be produced with the right kind of tactics. Plans have already been made for a gym, and it is hoped that this building will be ready for use by next fall. If it is ready, M. C. will have no more excuse for not having a good basketball team, and we have no fear that Coach King will noi produce just as good a basketball team as Coach Robbie does football and baseball teams. At any rate, we will watch next year’s team with much interest. I 89 Baseball Review of Season Under the guiding hands of the mighty ‘‘Robbie” and “Tink”, the Choctaws trotted out on the Provine Field for a three months’ grind on the diamond. They were fortunate in having one of the best arrays of baseball players that has ever graced the M. C. diamond. The old team trotted out every afternoon with that same old pep, fight, vigor, and ambition that abides in the heart of every real Choctaw. With six varsity men back and very promising new material, the season bade fair to be a successful one. With Dickens and Austin to perform behind the bat, nothing could get by. The pitching of “Little Joe” Edwards, Clark, Lambright, and Lyon was superb, and the infield, with “Jackie” Lyon at third, Huggins at short, Hamilton at second, and “Pretty Boy” Cooper at the initial sack, proved to be almost airtight. With Gulley in center field, White in left, and Busby and Austin alternating in right, the outfield was well taken care of. When the tribe went to Baton Rouge and sent L. S. U. down the creek with one paddle to the Choctaws’ seven, we realized that we had a baseballing machine. We did not lose any Southern series. We lost claim on S. I. A. A. championship by a narrow margin of one game, in which Georgia defeated us. Although the A. M. farmers claimed the championship, we won a series from L. S. U., who tied with the Aggies, also one from Union University, who tied with the farmer boys, and another with Oglethorpe, who tied with A. M. From our team three were selected for the all-Southern team, and three others were mentioned. Huggins has the honor of crossing the plate for the most number of tallies, scoring twenty-four times. “Jakie” Lyon has the highest batting average of the Warriors, it being .352. Although our schedule included games with several big league teams out of the twenty-eight war whoops heeded they brought back seventeen scalps, giving a percentage of 60.72 games won.

E. Cooper, Captain , First Base This was the third year that “Pretty Boy” had been at the initial sack for the Choctaws, and he has proven himself to be one of the best first basemen that we have ever had. His fielding is almost perfect, and he uses the stick. He was especially good at bunting. He was fast on the bases. All of these, together with his flighting spirit, made him an ideal captain for the team. He was mentioned for a berth on the all-Southern team. J. W. Dickens, Captain-elect , Catcher Last spring found Dick back at his old post, with the big mitt and his same old pep and fighting spirit. The skillful manner and ease with which he handled the pitchers was marvelous. Dick” is being counted on to duplicate his work this spring. Thus with his good qualities and ability to lead, his election as captain for 1923 was a wise move. T. J. Gulley, Center Field lorn ’ is a dependable, steady fielder, who doesn’t miss them. Not only his fielding and great throwing arm, but his batting, was his best asset. He was our clean-up hitter and his frequent long drives would do credit to any big league club. Stealing bases was one of his hobbies. We will watch for him in the major league later. He was given a berth on the all-Southern nine, and is signed with the Cleveland Americans. H. B. Lyon, Third Base “Jackie”, playing his third year, is the best that can be found to hold down the hot corner. His fielding was above reproach throughout the season. His base running is almost in the same class, but batting is his long suit. He led the warriors in batting last season. He works on the mound like a veteran. Just watch his record this season, for he gained favorable mention for a place on the mythical all-Southern team. 9i J Newton Hamilton, Second Base “Demp” fields his position with all ease, his eye for grounders is excellent, and the way he can cover second and make doubles is wonderful. He is sure to hit in a pinch. If there were two out and a man on third, he couldn’t miss ’em. Zack Huggins, Shortstop Zack has what it takes to play shortstop. He is bow-legged and has an eye for grounders, and a whip to first that is unexcelled. He was one of the fastest base runners on the Indian club. He can be depended on, and as last spring was his first season with us, we feel sure he will be better this season. He was mentioned for the mythical all-Southern team. Russell White, Left Field To anyone who has seen White in action on the diamond, it is unnecessary to say that he is some ball player. He fields in grand style, is the fastest base runner on our warriors’ club, and he wields the timber like an old-timer. Watson Clarke, Pitcher This was Watt’s second year on the Choctaw pitching staff. He not only has an assortment of curves, drops, and speed, but he wields the willow to such an advantage that he was often used in outfield when he was not pitching. His mighty left arm has proven to be a terror to a great many of the best hitters. Watt will be one of the mainstays on the pitching staff this spring. He was given a berth on the all-Southern team. 92 R. L. Lambright, Pitcher “Bob”, although a freshman, and playing his first year of college baseball, had some curves and speed and a delivery that the opposing batsmen seemed to have difficulty in solving. He was always ready to deliver the goods when called upon, and is a valuable addition to the pitching staff. W. Z. Busby, Second Base and Outfield Red also was a first year man, but he worked just the same. He was good in both the infield and outfield. He was a consistent batter, and his fielding was commendable. “Red” is back again, and we expect him to be on the job this spring. H. F. Austin, Outfielder , Catcher Austin was a first year man, but he worked like a major leaguer on the diamond. He worked good behind the bat, and sacked them in the outfield in grand style. He slings a wicked bat, which often brought in the scores. Percy L. Bardin “Hec” was one of the “longest” best baseball managers that ever managed an M. C. team. The fact that he always had things in readiness proved his executive ability. He was popular with the members of the team and the students, and deserves much credit for his service. 93 To Our Lassies She was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment’s ornament; Her eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilight’s, too, her dusky hair; But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn; A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylay. I saw 7 her upon nearer view, A spirit, yet a woman, too! Her household motions light and free, And steps of virgin liberty; A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human nature’s daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles. And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine ; A being breathing thoughtful breath, A traveler between life and death; The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill; A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command ; And yet a spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light. — W or dswortli . iaibru!

On their initial trip north they played to the following audiences: Union, Noxapater, Blue Mountain College, New Albany, Tupelo, and Pontotoc. Their second tour went deep into the heart of the pines of Southern Mississippi, for they played to the following audiences: Forrest, Newton, Laurel, Mississippi Woman’s College, McGee, and Collins. Their final tour was in the Ku Klux land of Louisiana, playing at the following places: Monroe, Ray- ville, Tallulah, Oak Ridge, and Bastrop. By being fortunate enough to have the eminent and efficient leader, Prof. Kalinowski, the Glee Club of ’23 ended one of the most successful years in the history of the institution; for their leader’s personality and personal ability has been stamped deep into the hearts of everyone of his students, helping them to see that light, that inspiration, which leads into the real art and heart of music. 1 1 8 College Quartet Program Hr J I.
