Under his guidance and leadership and through his skillful management since 1932, Mississippi College climaxes its one hundred thirteen years of existence with the best year yet. Embodied in him are the ideals of our Alma Mater, and by his inspiring example many young people have seen the value and accepted the challenge of the purpose- ful, the fuller life. As a Christian gen- tleman and brilliant scholar, he points the w ay to a higher plane of living. Love and appreciation for this great man are held in reverence in the heart of every Choctaw. Service is the keynote of this great life. His kindly interest in every student’s prob- lems and his sympathetic understanding in dealing with them prove more conclusively than words that he is truly a friend of students. Offering himself without reservation to his task, he continually looks toward the future with faith and determination. Need is often not realized until the one so depended upon is away. Our Presi- dent s absence at the first of the year be- cause of illness brought everyone an even deeper realization of the extent of his m m i mt f Increasing strength and power to Dr. Nelson as he leads our Alma Mater on to greater attain- ments! service and love.

The year 1857 marked the beginning of the administration of Dr. Walter Hillman, who re- mained at the head of the college until his death, thirty-seven years later. He was succeeded by his able and devoted co-laborer, Mrs. Hillman, who served for two years and was followed by Dr. Franklin L. Riley, Dr. George Wharton, Dr. John L. Johnson, and Prof. John L. Johnson, Jr. In 1892, the name was changed from Central Female Institute to Hillman College in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Hillman. In 1906, Dr. W. T. Lowrey took over the man- agement of the school and was president until 1923, although Dr. Lawrence T. Lowrey was active vice-president during part of this time (1911-1913). M. P. L. Berry, vice-president, suc- ceeded Dr. Lowrey as president, and he has served since that time. During recent years, the school has been made an accredited junior college, being a member of the American Association of Colleges, the Southern Association of Colleges for Women, and the Mis- sissippi Association of Colleges. Happy-Homelike Hillman” has survived, not be- cause it is a rich institution, but rather because it is a school of character and well-deserved reputa- tion. It offers the best advantages in the things that really count to the kind of girl who is looking for them. The aim of the school is expressed in its motto: Each for the other and all for God.” The same spirit of love and service for others that has dwelt within the historic walls of Hillman for over eighty years is still there today, and it is that which makes the children of their Alma Mater everywhere rise up and call her blessed.” [ 56 ] (p itAentiwf. HILLMAN COLLEGE M. P. L. BERRY, B.A. President HILLMAN Guided wisely by the unfailing interest of our president, Hillman College was piloted through the lean years of depression and to this year with the largest enrollment since that period. The brightness of the future of his presidency even eclipses the cherished accomplishments of the past. Student problems become his problems, and he offers discreet solutions for the unending com- plexities of campus life. A skillful engineer, he mows down obstacles in the way of our progress as a college. His practical executive efficiency, his sincerity of thought, and his genuine Christian character make the ideals of Hillman into working realities. To merit the gratification and approval of our presi- dent is the most coveted reward for scholastic effort. [ 58 ] MRS. G. W. RILEY Dean Mrs. Riley, as a meager expression of our love for you, we offer this, our tribute to you — she has given herself wholly to the uplifting of others, always preserving a gentle kindliness and an in- creasing understanding of and sympathy for the “modern girl.” She has been an inspiration, through her own beautiful Christian life, to every student of Hillman College. Always she strives to keep before each girl the divine ideal of service. To her girls she gives unstintingly her time, her talents, her all. The sphere of her influence has reached incalculable limits with the endless stream of young women who have entered and gone out from Hillman. For twenty years Mrs. Riley has served as dean of students and for different periods as teacher of education and Bible. Truly has she proved herself to be “a perfect woman nobly planned to cheer, to comfort and com- mand.” Mrs. S. E. Cranfill, B.A., M.A. This lovable character has endeared herself to the hearts of all the girls during the two years she has been a member of the Hillman faculty. To us she is not only a teacher of English and Social Science but a teacher of ideals, a sculptor of character, and a de- veloper of individuality. May the sphere of her in- fluence increase with the passing years. Miss Mary Opal Crone, B.A., B.M. The depth of her understanding and the unique quali- ties of her personality will always stand out in the memory of her friends and students. Though she hails from the cold northern state of Nebraska, her unfailing smiles are comparable to the warmth of the Sunny South. Her sterling Christian character is revealed in nothing more clearly than in the consecration of her superb musical talent. She gives her best gift to us — her living, loving self. Miss May Beth Rush, B.A. She is the leaven that permeates the whole, working quietly but surely. Her love and our love for Hillman springs from a mutual source for she, too, was once a “Stute” girl. Her enumerated duties are chaperone and French teacher; both of these offices she fills consci- entiously and efficiently. FACULTY Mrs. Nell Potter, B.A. One whose presence creates order and cheerfulness and is a living example of her philosophy of teaching — “we learn to do by doing.” One of the many attractive features of her individual charm is her accent quite distinctly her own. Students are spurred to greater achievement in her classes of history and education because of her genuine enthusiasm for her work. Mrs. J. C. Robert, R.N. No person is so much in demand on our campus as is our Dietitian and Nurse. She ministers faithfully to our needs in sickness and in health, always putting her duties first. Her frankness, her genial nature, and her sincerity of purpose win the admiration and love of all the students. The Seniors are especially attached to her for they started out with her on their Hillman career. Mr. Frank Slater, B.M. Though he is a person of small stature, his imposing personality makes him a conspicuous figure in any group. He is a diligent worker himself and knows how to get others to work and like it. Truly he is a great artist in his field of music. His pupils readily love and admire their great teacher as do all with whom he comes in contact. We are perfectly delighted when you sing, Mr. Slater; may you continue to share your great talent with us. T R I B E S S iio Id. M A Mary Betty Carter BIG CREEK, MISSISSIPPI Y. W. A. Council; I. R.

Now what kind of a quartet is that? CUhlriJjc L COACHES Coach Stanley Robinson, in his thirteenth year at Mississippi College, turned out one of the best football squads ever to wear the Blue and Gold for the Choctaws. Coach Robbie is a graduate of Colgate University and made the All-American team his senior year at the halfback position. He has served these past thirteen years at Mississippi College in the capacity of Director of the Athletic Department and has under him such capable assistants as Stanfield Dick” Hitt, Mel- vin Landrum, and Fred Green, a recent addition to the coaching staff. Dick Hitt will be remem- bered in Choctaw football history for his famous style of passing and running. Melvin Landrum, a former Blue and Gold performer on the hard- wood, has successfully coached the freshmen in all of their athletic endeavors. Fred Green, wearer of the Blue and Gold last year, starred in every sport in which he participated. Coach Robinson assigned him to an assistant coach’s job. It is due to the fine and spirited work of these four coaches that Mississippi College is still able to maintain its policy of non-subsidizing and compete with the highest ranking colleges in the South. The results of the past season will verify the fact of the undisputed superiority of our coaches. Coach Robinson, excluding his position of Ath- letic Director, serves as head football coach and coaches the varsity baseball team. Dick Hitt follows his assistant football coaching job by reigning over the cage aspirants, and then con- cludes his year’s work by turning out successful track teams. The handling of all freshman sports is exclusively in the hands of Coach Melvin Landrum, who prepares the newcomers for the varsity participation. C8i ] i JOEL HITT End GARLAND STEWART Guard BILLY McGEHEE Tackle The 1938 season for the Blue and Gold gridsters was the most successful in recent years. The Choc- taws, provided splendid leadership by Co-Captains Joel Hitt and Garland Stewart, hung up a record of seven wins against two losses. This record has only been topped when the Choc- taws with Goat Hale won nine and lost one post- season game. When Coach Robinson sent the call for grid aspirants for the season of 1938 about thirty-three men reported to him for daily workouts. With sixteen days in which to mold a formidable machine, Coach Robbie took a group of men, among them were sixteen sophomores, and developed them into one of the most feared gridiron machines of the South. Led by Seniors, Joel Hitt, Glen Walker, David Holland, and Garland Stewart, the Braves journeyed to Ruston to down the Louisiana Polytechnic Insti- tute in a surprise victory to the count of 26 to 13. This game brought to light the talents of several sophomore stars-to-be but also dimmed the gridiron chances of one Lonnie Tadlock. It was in this tilt that he completely ran the Bulldogs wild with his swivel hipped running until he had to be carried from the field after severely wrenching his knee, and it turned out that Tadlock finally had to be operated upon to heal his impediment. Besides starting themselves on a red splurged sea- son the Clinton Clansmen dampened the spirits of the Bulldogs and their record for the remaining games of the ’38 season were well under expectations. CHARLIE ARMSTRONG, Halfback CLIF LANDRUM, Halfback GOAT FORTENBERRY, Fullback SEASON Next the Braves journeyed to Danville, Kentucky, where they suffered a 13 to 0 defeat handed down by the Praying Colonels” of Centre College. The Redskins were without the services of Backs Lonnie Tadlock and Reggie Weems and though the entrance of these two into the tilt might have kept the Indian record clean, Coach Robbie refused to risk the personal safety of these two boys and kept them on the bench throughout the game. The Colonels scored on two freak plays which should have been disallowed, but fate decided the Indians were not to win that day. Opening the home season with a bang, the Clans- men completely routed a strong eleven from Pine- ville, Louisiana, who were representing Louisiana College, by an overwhelming score of 33 to 13. Goat” Fortenberry, who had sustained injuries in the Centre game, gave up his starting berth in favor of Joe Hennington, and it was the latter who com- pletely swept the Wildcats off of their feet with his off-tackle thrusts that accounted for the decisive LONNIE TADLOCK Halfback JOE HENNINGTON Halfback score. On October 7th, the Clinton Clansmen embarked for Chattanooga where they lost their second game of the season by a close score of 28 to 25. The final tally sounded more like a basketball game and fans of the game will verify the fact that the Chocs threw more footballs during the final quarter than the spectators could trace. HAIRSTON CARROLL Quarterback BOB MARJUE, Quarterback L. L. RICHERSON, Fullback ARCHIE MATTHEWS, Tackle ROY SANDERS, Guard With the count 28 to 6 at the beginning of the fourth period the Indians went completely wild and with Bob Majure and Charlie Armstrong passing them and Joel Hitt and E. V. Watts catching them, the Clinton lads scored three quick touchdowns but lost the game on the failure to convert their extra points. At this point the Braves began an unbroken series of victories. The Choctaws topped first the hdill- saps Majors 21 to 0 in the first of the two games. Nearly every backfield man in the starting lineup scored in the tilt and what backs did not do that added to figures they made up by some hard playing. Next to feel the blade of the Indians’ tomahawk were the Petrels from Oglethorpe University, who were downed by a 33 to 6 score. It was again the unerring passing attack of the Chocs that ran this score into such large figures. The Petrels never had a chance.” After a mid-season rest of one week the Chocs went into action against the Spring Hill Badgers from Mobile, Alabama. The Chocs pounced upon the hapless Purple and White squad and sent them back to Alabama on the short end of a 33 to 0 final tally. On November 11th, the Choctaws followed their leader, Coach Stan Robinson, to his old stomping grounds and made Coach Robbie justly proud by defeating the Mercer Bears at Macon in a thrilling 26 to 21 triumph. EARL LEWIS End E. V. WATTS, End DAVID HOLLAND, Guard J. D. FRANKS Guard BOYCE JONES Tackle GLEN WALKER, Center SEASON The commendable work of Joel Hitt and E. V. Watts at the two terminal posts were the deciding factors in the Bruins , defeat, and though the Mercer lads staged a rally somewhat like the Braves’ Chat- tanooga thrust, they were still unable to top the final score. Closing the season on November Nth, the Choc- taws unslung their tomahawks against the Majors in the final clash between the two rivals and com- pletely showed the Militants what a Choc storm looked like by crushing the Purple and White under a 32 to 0 score. Although the fight and the spirit of the light Choc squad can be acclaimed excellent, the main factor in the Choc victories was the fine backing of the student body. Even though the Braves lost their tilts with the Chattanooga Moccasins and the Colo- nels of Centre College, the students were on hand to welcome the squad back to the campus, and this firm belief in the football team was something that just could not be passed up by the team members.

Wm BASKETBALL Mississippi College has reason to be proud of her cage performers of past years and the current cage season. The season of 1937 netted the Clinton Red- skins the title of Dixie Conference champions; they repeated the feat in 1938 by winning over a stub- born five from Mercer University in the finals. If the Braves are Dixie conquerors this year they will become permanent possessors of the coveted cup. Possession of this cup is indicative of the fact that the Tribesmen are master cagesters among the col- leges of the South. For the past two years this trophy has been resting upon the shelves of the M club. The current season has been the most successful in the eyes of Choctaw supporters due to the record of wins the Braves have amassed before tournament time. On December 15, the Chocs journeyed to Ole Miss to battle the Ole Miss Rebels for the first athletic relationship in 13 years and the Clinton lads emerged victors in a thrilling 43 to 40 tilt that marked the Braves’ first of a long series of wins. On January 2 the Braves took up the job of de- feating rival colleges. The visiting Southwestern Louisiana’s quintet suffered a 47 to 39 defeat. This was followed on the 6th by a rousing 52 to 36 tri- umph over the Birmingham-Southern Panthers. The rout of the Loyola Wolves to the tunc of 78 to 37 marked their fourth college victory. CLOVIS CARROLL CHARLES AINSWORTH CLIF LANDRUM CARTER BLAKE SEASON Ole Miss came to Jackson with the intention of squaring the two game series with the Clansmen but again were victims of the Choc fast-break by a 55 to 42 score. In the first of the four games with the Millsaps Majors, the Chocs won two straight by the margin of one point. The first game was annexed by a 43 to 42 score and the second by a 40 to 39 in an overtime period. Louisiana College came to Clinton and found themselves on the short end of a 50 to 34 count. Spring Hill College of Mobile, Alabama, was the next Tribal victim by scores of 58 to 47 and 58 to 37 in two games. On February 1st, Coach Dick Hitt took his charges on an extensive five-game road trip. Their first vic- tory on this trip the Chocs beat the Auburn Plains- men by a final talley of 59 to 44. However, it was at this time that the Braves met their first defeat, when Howard College of Birmingham handed the Clansmen a 47 to 46 defeat in a thrilling finish. The Clinton Redskins took the next game out on How- ard’s city mates, Birmingham-Southern, by a score of 66 to 57. Moving into Tennessee, the Braves de- feated Chattanooga by a top heavy score of 64 to 42, and then on Monday night the Chocs made his- tory. Meaning the Clansmen’s sensational defeat of the world champion New York Celtics by a 66 to 56 final score. It was their first defeat at the hands of any Mis- sissippi team. The Champions allowed the Braves to get too fast a start and build up a sufficient lead that enabled the Dixie Conference champions to coast through to the surprising and crushing victory. Tribesman press-time found scores of the remain- ing games unavailable. DAVID HOLLAND L. L. RICHERSON GENE WIRTH Bethea, Burris, Boyd, Middleton, Garrison. TENNIS VARSITY BASEBALL [ 90 ] BASKETBALL VARSITY TRACK [91 ] TRACK Mississippi College’s thinclads went through one of their most successful seasons in a number of years during the oval’s season of 1938. The only defeat was suffered at the hands of the strong track aggre- gation from Southwestern of Memphis. The Chocs started the 1938 season off with a trip to Memphis, Tennessee, where they met the strong track squad of Southwestern of Memphis. Joel Hitt led the scoring for the Braves with two first places, one in the discus and the other in the high jump. Though the Chocs were defeated by a total score of 76 to 55 they gave the Gaylon Smith led Lynx- men a scare by stacking up the following first places: Hitt, first place in the discus; Earl Lewis, first in the pole vault; Cuthbert Ishee, 440 yard dash; Reggie Weems, javelin; Co-captain Jack Dear, first in the 2-mile run; and Joel Hitt, first in the high jump. The next track event carded for the Braves was a dual meet with the high-stepping Panthers from Birmingham-Southern. The Clinton Clansmen jour- neyed to Birmingham and startled sports fans with a surprising 70 to 56 victory over the bewildered Panthers. Again not a single sophomore rated a first place but the veterans of the Choc thinclads carried the Blue and Gold banner of Mississippi College through the fracas without a flinch. It was four distance men and two field men that added five points apiece to the well-stocked Choctaw cause. The smooth striding Cuthbert Ishee paced off the mile run in record time to take first place honors in this event, and he was closely followed by Dear with a first place in the 2-mile run. CUTHBERT ISHEE RESUME This was Dear’s second consecutive victory in the 2-mile run against college competition, and his verdict was never once threatened as he easily paced the whole field. The Millsaps Majors were the next opponents of the Choctaws. The distance men split with the field men in scoring honors. The field men to cop first place honors in the pole vault were threefold. Earl Lewis, Kenneth McCul- lar, and W. C. Stewart tied for first place honors in this event. Jack Dear and Cuthbert Ishee also tied for first place in the mile run. The only other event of the evening which was given to two Missis- sippi College runners was the 2-mile run in which Dear earned his third consecutive 2-mile triumph, and Ray Izard showed that he would provide a capable replacement for the senior, Dear. Carter Blake, freshman, won his first field event by triumphing in the high-jump event in a thrilling contest, and Joel Hitt added the last five-pointer for the Clansmen by virtue of his victory in the shot-put event. As matter of record the invincible Hitt had en- tered in three events that evening, and he carried away two first places and one second place in the discus throw. The total points for Mississippi College during the track season was 196 while their opponents scored 197. With the completion of the new track and a fine group of sophomores, the varsity track coach should find ample material from which to build a successful track squad for the season of 1939. JOEL HITT EARL LEWIS PROSPECTS Led by Captain Joel Hitt, the track prospects began early in March prepping for a heavy season. This year’s captain is drawing the curtain on one of the most illustrious athletic careers in the history of the school. Hitt is particularly out- standing in the field events where he is usually good for about three first places. Supple- menting his efforts will be sev- eral men who are excellent at long distance and middle dis- tance running. With many eligible first-year men out for the sprints, Coach “Dick” Hitt seems to feel that prospects are exceedingly bright. JACK DEAR BASEBALL Outstanding on the Choctaw mound during the past season were two of the South’s finest pitchers, namely, Fred Green and Percy Reeves. These two were ably assisted by Otho Winstead and George Cortwright behind the plate. Glen Walker at first base, Clif Landrum at sec- ond, Joel Hitt at shortstop, Harold Schmaltz at third, J. M. Dear in left field, David Holland at center field, and Bill Pullen at the right field position com- pleted the roster for the starters. For the first two games of the season the Braves journeyed to Natchez where they split a pair with the Natchez nine. With Green working on the mound the Braves outhit the local Natchez men to win the game 11 to 8. This game showed the Braves that they had potential danger stored in their hickory sticks and served to allow Coach Robinson to pick his men under fire. Mississippi was host to the Minnesota Gophers for one game. The Chocs could not muster their hits to top a final 8 to 4 tally for the Gophers. The Choctaws left the campus to travel to Ruston to engage strong Louisiana Tech in two close games. The Indians lost the first tilt 6 to 7 and the second by a 6 to 3 tally. Up until the ninth inning of the initial clash the Chocs held the lead over the Bull- dogs and then on a heart-breaking muffed grounder the Bulldogs managed to push across the winning run. In the second tilt the Techmen never relin- quished an early advantage in winning. RESUME In the return series the Louisiana squad came to Clinton and completely blasted the Tribesmen off of the field. The first game was won by the Bull- dogs by a 5 to 0 score. In the second game, the Louisiana squad managed to nick Reeves for three home runs and win a slug- fest by 10 to 3. The Chocs then took up the reins of the motorbus and started out on a six-game road trip that carried them into Florida and Alabama. The first stop was at Troy, Alabama, where the Braves won the two games with the Auburn boys by scores of 11 to 3 and 12 to 4. Green won the first while Reeves fol- lowed his example in the second. This was probably the only time that the Braves showed the potent power of their bats. Spring Hill College at Mobile, Alabama, managed to eke out twin victories over the hard working Clansmen for the next two games on the roster. The first game was closely contested and in the 11th in- ning the Badgers managed to push across the run that enabled them to win 9 to 8. The final game with the Spring Hillers was not so tight as the Badgers won by a 9 to 4 tally. Returning home the Choctaws managed to break even with the Millsaps Majors in their annual four- game series. Green, amply backed by excellent field- ing by his teammates, managed to carry away the first and fourth games by the scores of 14 to 11 and 5 to 4. As the score of the first tilt signifies the game was strictly on the fans’ side, as numerous times spectacular base steals, home runs, and sen- sational fielding plays were seen. Percy Reeves, though he pitched his head off,” was unable to keep the Majors from winning the second and fourth games by scores of 6 to 3 and 3 to 1. ★ Bradley, Seitz, Stevens.
