LOYALTY • DEVOTION • WISDOM N APPRECIATION OF THE PERSONAL INTEREST HE TAKES IN STUDENTS AND IN RECOG- NITION OF HIS ENTHUSIASM AND EFFORTS FOR MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, WE DEDICATE THIS AN- NUAL TO A REGULAR FELLOW AND A FRIEND, DR. CHARLES L. DEEVERS. T HAS BEEN THE PURPOSE OF THE STAFF TO RECORD IN WORD AND PICTURE THE PASSING EVENTS OF OUR COLLEGE YEAR; TO ENABLE US TO RECALL IN FUTURE YEARS THE PLEASANT MEMORIES AND FOND FRIENDSHIPS OF OUR COLLEGE DAY S; AND TO REFLECT IN SOME DEGREE THE CHOCTAW SPIRIT. Mississippi College Hillman College ORGANIZATIONS MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE HILLMAN COLLEGE FACULTY • FELLOWS • CLASSES THE NEXT STEP MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE covets the best for her students. She is alertly making plans and programs, which will best serve in the enlargement of life and enrichment of character. A few years ago, glaring defects were found in the semester system of operation. A study was made. The new six-weeks ' term plan was put into operation, which has greatly increased the efficiency of our work and pro- voked favorable comment from educational leaders and thinkers. The faculty is now making a study of the aims and objectives of the college and how to realize them. To this end committees are now at work on the following: 1. Aims and objectives of Mississippi College. 2. The curriculum in realizing these aims and objectives. 3. The faculty in realizing these aims and objectives. 4. The students in realizing these aims and objectives. With the completion of this study, issuing as we expect into a clear, unmistakable idea of the meaning and mission of Mississippi College and how best to realize it, we are persuaded that we shall again be credited with doing some worthwhile pioneering in the field of higher education which will draw to us more friends and add both quality and quantity to our student body.

Every girl who has entered the portals of this school takes out with her at least a touch of the highest ideals of Christian living. There ' s an inexplicable something about Hillman that takes a firm hold on the heartstrings of all its students. A spirit of unselfishness, love and a willingness to serve others have always been within its walls. Indeed it is a great institution for the molding of girls ' lives; the imprint it makes on their hearts is never fully erased, though they go to the farthest corners of the earth in all wal ks of life. Not only the picturesque beauty of the campus but its deep abiding inner spirit will linger in the hearts of Hillman students forever. Adown the corridors of time We hear sweet music ring; The bells of memory softly chime, In tune with those who sing. HILLMAN COLLEGE HILLMAN MR. P. L. BERRY, B.A. President Hillman without Mr. Berry would certainly be as a ship without its pilot. His truly sweet, sympathetic nature, his willingness to let go anything he is doing to help one of his girls make him one whom every Stute girl loves. The flower in his buttonhole, the merry twinkle in his brown eyes, and cheery, breezy whistling heard on the campus are expressions of his delightful personality. ★ MRS. G. W.

HONOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO CARRY OUR COLORS IN OUR VARIOUS ATHLETIC EVENTS AND GIVE HIGHEST PRAISE TO OUR BIG CHIEF AND HIS ASSISTANTS. ■ COACH STANLEY L. ROBINSON Since Coach Robinson is one of the most dominant characters on our campus, since the spirit of Mississippi College is largely due to his influence, since through our association with him we have learned to love and respect him, his influence will live in our memories forever, and we of the Tribesman want to review briefly the life history of our great coach and friend. Coach Robbie attended the New York City schools and in 1911 entered Colgate University, where he proved himself an outstanding student. He played quarterback under Coach Andy Kerr, and in his senior year he led his mates to a 16 to 6 victory over Yale. In the same year, he ran sixty yards against Army and kicked the extra point to win the game for Colgate 7 to 6. His football prowess won him a berth on the All-American elevens of 1914 and 1915. In 1916 Coach Robinson was Director of Athletics at the University of Vermont. He came to Mississippi A. M. in 1917, and coached the State school to a Mississippi championship. At the close of the year he enlisted in the Aviation Corps of the Navy where he served until the close of the war, attaining the rank of Ensign. Just before entering the Navy, Coach Robinson was united to the better half of his family. Before her marriage, Mrs. Robinson was Miss Ottilie Johns of Buffalo, N. Y. We feel sure that a large part of Coach Robbie ' s success is due to the zealous and inspirational spirit of his charming wife. We who have known her love her and know with what spirit she backs the Blue and Gold teams. Coach Robinson returned with his bride to Miss. A. M. to two successful years in 1918 and 1919. He came to Mississippi College in 1920, serving as Director of Physical Education until 1923. He coached football at Mercer for four years, returning to M. C. in 1928. He has served us faithfully since that time, and we feel sure that he will hold the position as Director of Athletics at this Institution as long as he so desires. Through sixteen years of football at Miss. College, Coach Robinson has won 72 games, lost 51, and tied 9. His teams have amassed a total of 1,888 points to their opponents ' 1,398. Consider- ing the fact that the opponents of Mississippi College have universally been larger institutions (several times L. S. U., Tulane, Colgate, Alabama, etc.), and considering the fact that in the past few years most of their opponents played subsidized athletes while M. C. remained strictly amateurish; we feel sure that Coach Robinson ' s record should warrant him the name of one of the great coaches of the nation. Certainly his record here is an enviable one, and in the heart of every Choctaw his name will live forever as truly great. pr THE C O A C H E S GLENN WALKER Freshman Basketball, Track, Assistant Foot- ball.

The favored Praying Colonels, who the year before had defeated the Chocs 13 to 0, took a severe licking from the lighter Choctaw team. The game was played in a drizzling rain on a water-soaked field which was defense enough against the supposedly strong Choc passing attack. The Choctaws scored when Arthur Hughes, playing his first game for the Blue and Gold, blocked a punt deep in Centre territory, and Landrum went over from the seven. Fumbles and penalties put the Choctaws in hot water several times, but the fighting M. C. spirit came to the front and the stubborn defense held again and again. Outstanding points of the game were the punting of Charles Arm- strong and the charging of the M. C. line, which constantly outplayed the heavier Colonel linemen. Henderson, a senior Choctaw, constantly backing up the line, made a grand captain. Chattanooga, 0; Mississippi College, 0 October 6 found the Choctaws pitted against the University of Chatta- nooga ' s Dixie Conference favorites. An easy victory was predicted for the Moccasins when all-Dixie center Kopcha led his eleven out on Pro- vine Field. However, victory came every way but easy, when the fighting Indians bottled up every offensive effort the Moccasins could offer. Five Choctaw fumbles, at crucial moments, chilled every Indian offensive effort far from the pay-off stripe. Back and forth, up and down the field the two teams fought; Kopcha leading a spirited Moccasin line against the brave efforts of Boyce Jones, James McLeod, Billy McGehee, and Wilson Fulton, who broke through again and again to throw the visitors for numerous losses. Other linemen playing great football were Henderson, Lewis, Blake, Hughes, Franks, Mc- Phail, Watts, and Weems. Backs bearing the heavy brunt of the game were: Armstrong, Majure, Stewart, Fagan, Landrum, and Tadlock. The Choctaws greatly missed Matthews and Hennington, who sat on the bench nursing injuries sustained in the Centre game the week before. Although Captain Hennington was disabled, he helped keep the Choctaw spirit blazing, and led them to a tie score. Loyola, 32; Mississippi College, 0 A great let-down on the part of the members of the Choctaw team, along with a host of injuries, seemed to be the chief causes of the defeat handed the Chocs by the Loyola Wolfpack. Score at halftime was 7 to 0, at the third quarter 20 to 0, and at the end — oh well, facts are facts, 32 to 0. A great deal could not be expected of the Tribe when injured Watts, McLeod, Matthews, Jones, Fulton, Majure, Landrum, and Hennington, should have been watching from the sidelines. All but Matthews came in for their bit, however.

Manag ef RAY IZARD Junior Manad ef FOOTBALL played one of the greatest games of his football career. Earl Lewis, captain for the Chocs, scrapped hard for his part, and made a brave leader for the so-called Wolfpack to cope with. Billy Rainer received his baptism of fire in this game, along with Hartwell McPhail, both show- ing great promise for the future. Herman Hinton, from Soso, fought valiantly until a kick in the head made it necessary to remove him from the field to a New Orleans hospital. The kicking of Charles Armstrong was the one bright spot in the Choctaw offense. Dub Stewart played well in the backfield, and Reggie Weems played great ball at two posts in the line. Spring Hill, 7; Mississippi College, 25 October 20 marked the turning point of the season for the Tribe. The Badgers of Spring Hill College were the foe. The scoreboard at halftime read: Spring Hill 7, Mississippi College 6. Captain Landrum, although not recovered from an injury of recent date, gave his moral support. It was in the early part of the third quarter that Tadlock seemed to forget the knee that had kept him on the bench during most of varsity career. With lightning-like precision, he hurled himself at the heavy Purple line: and when Bob Majure ' s aerial passes began speeding over the heads of the Badgers, many of them fell into the waiting arms of fast little backs. During the full thirty minutes of the last half, with Majure passing, and Armstrong, Tadlock, and Fulton receiving, the Chocs ran roughshod over the hapless eleven from Mobile. J. W. Fagan, sopho more, played a great game at halfback, filling the place of Joe Henmng- ton, who was out due to injuries. In the line, Matthews, Weems, Fulton, Hughes, McLeod, McGehee, and McPhail were especially outstanding. The Choctaws completed eight passes out of eleven; made ten first downs to Spring Hill ' s four; and gained 328 yards to their 56. gtoH If :PHA |1 na 3 er n a3 ef Millsaps, 0; Mississippi College, 29 The evening of November 3 will, for a long time, remain imprinted on the minds of Choctaw fans who came out to see the boys hand the Majors the worst licking in many moons. The stalwart Tribal line held the Major backs at bay all evening, never allowing them to cross the 45-yard marker. Not only did they play great defensive ball against the sup- posedly stronger Purple eleven, but their offensive charges ripped the Major line to shreds, and allowed Choc backs to run up a total of 345 yards from scrimmage to 64 yards for the Majors. The backfield behind the great offensive line totaled 16 first downs to three for the platoon. The first score came early in the first period, when Lonnie Tadlock inter- cepted a pass on his own thirty, and ran it back to the fifteen. Three plays later, Majure dropped back and passed across the goal line to Fulton, then kicked the extra point. In the second period, Landrum re- turned a Major punt from his 40 to their 42. Majure ran through the center of the line to the 19. Landrum carried it off tackle from there for the second score. Majure again kicked the extra point.

Majure missed his first try for the extra point. Archie Matthews stole the ball from a Major back on the succeeding kickoff to set up the fourth scoring threat. Tadlock added a first down, then took a pass from Majure on the twenty-two to score. Majure again made the conversion. The third string took over the fourth period and ran the ball to the Major four before giving it up. Joe Henderson broke through from there to block a punt through the end zone for an automatic safety and the final score. Fulton, Jones, Captain McGehee, McLeod, Weems, Matthews, Watts, Dearing, Franks, Henderson, and Hughes played great ball in the Choc forewall. J. W. Fagan and Joe He nnington played well at quarter and half, and Rip Priester showed up well at fullback. Mercer, 0; Mississippi College, 15 November 10, Homecoming at M. C., game with Mercer Bears at the new Provine Field, 8 p. m. — A whale of a ball game, a great success for the Choctaws. Even a drizzling rain which began between halves could not drive the enthusiastic Choctaw fans from the bleachers. With Bob Majure leading the attack with running and passing, the much lighter Choctaw team swept the Mercer eleven off their feet. The first score came in the second quarter after Charles Armstrong kicked out on the one-foot line. The bad pass to the Mercer back, who attempted to kick from behind his own goal, allowed a swarm of Mississippi linemen to tackle him in his tracks. The next score was made during the very last seconds of the first half, as Majure ' s desperate pass fell into the waiting arms of Wilson Fulton across the touchdown stripe. In the last quarter, Arm- strong took a spinner over guard through the entire Mercer team for 57 yards and the second and last Mississippi touchdown. Great running by Armstrong, Majure, Tadlock, Landrum, Hennington, and Stewart; with this, the passing of Majure, and the outstanding kicking of Armstrong, kept the Tribe continually knocking at the Georgians ' goal line, and it seems that the score should have been larger. The blocking of the Choc line- men against the heavy Mercer forewall, which had held Tennessee to 17 points, was the outstanding feature of the game. Again and again they tore great holes for the speedy back to run through. Outstanding linemen were Captain E. V. Watts, Fulton, Matthews, Jones, Weems, Mc- Leod, McGehee, Henderson, Hughes, and Franks. First downs favored Mississippi College 12 to 4. Yards gained from scrimmage were M. C. 235, Mercer 65. v - « if L • i St’MrV-o, Y AG IAN jer Louisiana College, 7; Mississippi College, 20 On November 17, the Tribesmen traveled over to Pineville, Louisiana, for an encounter with the strong team. The Chocs got off to a bad start when on the first play Majure ' s pass to Fulton was intercepted. A few plays later, another of Majure ' s passes was intercepted and run deep into Choctaw territory, from which point the Wildcats scored. In the second stanza, Majure ' s pass to Blake set up a scoring spree for the Tribe. Lan- drum carried the ball from the 25 to the 10 on two plays. From here, Majure passed to Blake for the first Choc counter. Majure kicked the point. Armstrong took the Wildcats ' kickoff at the beginning of the third quarter on his own seven and ran it back to the Louisiana College 35- MWRj BLAKE End CARTER Left ON FERGUSON Right End JESSE DEE FRANKS Right Guard ARCHIE MATTHEWS Right Tackle CLIFTON LANDRUM Left Half WALTER STEWART Right Half HERMAN HINTON Center HAROLD PARKER Freshman Mana 3 HARRIS RAKESTRA Freshman Mana9 ( SON KS EWS RUM RT FOOTBALL yard marker where he was tackled by a Wildcat reserve who sprang from the bench to bring him down.

Majure passed to Watts, and then to Fulton for the final score of the game. Majure again added the point. McPhail played outstanding football at center. Blake and Fulton showed up well at ends. Matthews, Jones, and Henderson, along with McLeod and Franks, played their usual good game. Oglethorpe, 6; Mississippi College, 14 On November 25, the Choctaws traveled up to Atlanta to bring the curtain down in a blaze of glory by defeating Oglethorpe University to the tune of 14 to 6. The game, played in near zero weather, proved a thriller to the small group of Georgia fans. Captain Reggie Weems was unable to play because of a hurt knee. The first quarter proved slow with the Stormy Petrel holding the upper hand, scoring just before the period ended. From there on out the Choctaws held sway with a great kicking and running attack. Tadlock carried the ball over from the twelve after long runs by Landrum and Armstrong. The half ended with the Tribe leading 7 to 6. Penalties marred the Choctaw offense, as one marker was called back and a long pass from Majure to Fulton was ruled void. The final score came in the last period when Armstrong and Lan- drum carried the oval deep into Petrel territory with thirty- and nineteen- yarcl runs respectively. A penalty moved it to the four from which point Armstrong made the touchdown. Hughes, Fulton, Hennington, Jones, and Majure were defensive stars of the game. McGehee, McPhail, Henderson and Dearing played great ball in the line. Men donning togs for the last time for the Tribe were Clifton Landrum, Earl Lewis, Joe Henderson, Joe Hennington, E. V. Watts, Billy McGehee, and Reggie Weems. Through many hard fought games these seven Choc- taws have carried the colors of the tribe — leaving imprinted on the minds of all Mississippi College fans memories that will never fade. It is with deepest regret that we say goodbye to these stars — true Choctaws — every one of them. They leave with the wish for the same success in life that they have had on the gridiron. Here, tribute may be paid to several members of the squad who have won special distinction for their gridiron achievements. R jn ag r RAW in aq e ' If a back is able to kick out below the ten in occasional games, he is considered great. But, if he is able to kick out anywhere from the ten- yard to the one-foot line with amazing consistency, run and pass equally as well, he deserves special recognition. This recognition came to Charles Armstrong this year when he received unanimous vote for the All-Dixie fullback post. Those who saw him in action know that this honor was richly deserved. Another Choctaw crashing the All-Dixie lineup was Boyce Jones. Jones was a truly great tackle, big and fast, and spent most of his time in the enemy ' s backfield. Both boys are Juniors, and great things are expected of them next season. Other honors go to Reggie Weems, Wilson Fulton, Bob Majure, and Archie Matthews, who received mention on the All-S. I. A.

Only one of the 1939 Dixie Cham- pionship team was returned to the squad. As fate would have it, this one bright spot went glimmering when Captain E. V. Watts was removed from the first game after only a few seconds of playing due to the reinjuring of a fractured carti- lage in his knee which was sustained in football. However, with the available material, Coach Landrum went to work and produced a team which, so far in the season, has played on an even basis with the best college competition. At the forward position this year, Coach Landrum has placed Clifton Landrum and Wilson Fulton; at center, fast and shifty, Lonnie Tadlock; and at the guard post, rangy Carter Blake and Archie Matthews. Landrum, a great floor man, and Ful- ton, the scrappiest sophomore ever to wear a Choctaw uni- form, along with Tadlock, gave Coach Landrum a fast-breaking offense which has netted the tribe many points. Both Blake and Matthews have played well under the basket on both of- fense and defense. From his reserve strength, Coach Landrum has drawn Charles Jordan and Arthur Hughes at guard, Free- man Wadell at center and guard, Lainy Berry and Billy Rainer at forwards. Elmer Fortenberry and James Walker have also come in for their part of the forward duty. Two losses to Southwestern of Memphis by one-point margins could easily be attributed to the absence of Landrum, Fulton, Matthews, Hughes from the line-up at the time of the games. The trouncing by Coach Dick Hitt ' s Mississippi State basket- eers came on an off night for the Chocs. With another State game on the schedule, the tribal forces see great hope for a victory over the former Choctaw mentor. With the record that the team has made, and with the prospect of Watts returning to form by tournament time, the tribe looks forward with renewed hopes for a fourth Dixie Conference Championship. We of the Tribesman staff wish to express our best wishes for success to a great coach and a great team.

When Coach Dick Hitt came to Mississippi College in 1936 the old track had been destroyed, and track interest lagged far behind that of other sports on the campus. In true Hitt fashion, however, he began work to restore Choctaw track to its former high place in S. I. A. A. circles. In his last year with the Tribe he reaped his reward, for he placed a team on the field that would have been the envy of any coach. Captain Joel Hitt was the standout for the Indian runners of this season, amassing a total of 81 points for the year. He was followed by Bert Ishee, Bob Carroll, and Harry Cole with 42, 28, and 15 points respectively. The Tribe opened its 1939 season with a journey to Meridian for the first of the modern series of Mississippi Intercollegiate Track and Field Meets. The University of Mississippi, Delta State Teachers, and Mississippi State Teachers did not send representatives to the meet. Mississippi State walked away with first place honors, Mississippi College was second, and Millsaps third. Joel Hitt was high-point man of the meet, coming in with a first in the discus, second in the 120-yard high hurdles, and third in the high jump, broad jump, and shot. Bert Ishee scored a first in the one-mile run and third in the 880. Bob Carroll added a second in the 880. Stewart, Dotson, and Cole took third places in the pole vault, quarter-mile, and two-mile run, respectively. The second meet of the season found the Chocs at home for a triangular affair with Southwestern of Memphis and Millsaps. First places in the meet were taken by Hitt in the high hurdles, Carroll in the 880, Cole in the two- mile run, and Ishee in the one-mile run. Second places were scored by Izard in the mile, Dotson in the 440, Ishee in the 880, Heinrich in the two-mile, Hitt in the discus and broad jump, and ties resulted between Stewart and Lewis, and Blake and Hitt in the pole vault and broad jump. The relay team of Dotson, Ishee, Izard, and Carroll took second place, and other points were added by Carroll, Fagan, and Sumrall. The next week Louisiana College came across the river for a dual meet, only to be driven out of camp cringing under the sting of an 88 to 45 licking. The Chocs scored ten first places to the Wildcats ' five. Men taking scalps in the meet included Carroll, Dotson, Izard, McPhail, Mullen, Sumrall, Hitt, Ishee. Heinrich, Cole, Lewis, Stewart, Blake, Matthews, Jones, and Fagan. Bob Carroll was sorely missed the next week when the Tribe traveled over to Jackson to receive a drubbing at the hands of Ole Miss, and believe it or not, Millsaps. Yes! Ole Miss split the Clinton Clan ' s points, and allowed Millsaps to come through to win second place in the meet. Again the great Joel Hitt won honors for the Braves as he scored 17 points against stiff opposition. Ishee won the 880 and placed second in the mile. Lewis, Cole, Jones, Fagan, and Mullen added other points. All memories of the defeat were forgotten the following week when M. C. handed the Majors a 70 to 47 spanking with perfect ease. Carroll, Ishee, Cole, Fagan, and Lewis won first places in the 880, mile, two mile, low hurdles, and pole vault, respectively. Captain Hitt won first places, including the discus, and a sixteen flat trip over the high timbers to outdistance his heated rival from Millsaps. Second and third places were taken by Izard, Carroll, Mullen, Ishee, Heinrich, Stewart, Hitt, and E. V. Watts. Only Joel Hitt was lost by graduation, so upon the issuing of this Tribes- man, the Blue and Gold are looking forward to an even greater season under the guidance of Coach Glenn Walker.

Coach Robbie searching vainly for experienced pitchers, had to rely upon a staff of Freshmen moundsmen and catchers. James McLeod, how- ever, proved before the season was over to be one of the best backstops M. C. has produced in several years. A pitching staff of Rainer, Fulton, Pope, and Knowles gives Coach Robbie material to develop a group of flingers the like of which Choctaw fans have never witnessed. On March 28, Coach Robbie took his squad down to Mobile to open the season with the Spring Hill Badgers. The Catholics collected 19 hits and 15 runs off the efforts of Rainer, Knowles, and Fulton, to 3 hits and I run for the Tribe. The next day with Pope starting on the mound for the Tribe, and Knowles taking over in the sixth, saw Spring Hill collect 18 hits and 13 runs, to 6 hits and 4 runs for the Chocs. The Spring holiday vacation continued with a trip over to the Pensacola Naval Station for a double bill. Landrum and Holland collected 3 hits each, and with Tadlock, McLeod, Walker, and Armstrong coming through with one each, managed to score a 7 to 3 win for the Tribe. The boys of the Navy turned the tide the next day, however, and with the aid of 6 errors by the Clan, and 8 hits off of Fulton and Rainer, outscored the Blue and Gold 9 to 3. The Tribe jumped upon pitcher McLean of the Troy Teachers the next day for 18 hits, but failed to score enough runs to win. Walker got 4 hits for 5 trips, Hitt and McLeod 3 for 5 each, and Tadlock, Lan- drum, and Holland came through with 2 for 5. Final score read: Troy 17, M. C. 10. On April 13 the Majors came to town and were taken into camp 4 to 2. Wilson Fulton pitched fine ball, giving up only 6 hits; while the heavy sticks of Tadlock, Hitt, Holland, and Walker drove Pitcher Charlie Ward from the mound in the second inning. On April 15 the Majors got revenge by taking a 5 to 4 victory, in spite of the fact that the Chocs collected 9 hits to their 6. Charlie Armstrong got 2 for 4, one a home run in the third frame. Laney Berry crashed into the lineup, taking over at third base, moving Tadlock to shortstop. On April 19 and 20, Spring Hill took two from the Chocs. The first 5 to 0, the second 20 to 12. Hitt and Fulton drove out home runs in the second game. On April 27 and 28 the Choctaws were taken in tow by Louisiana Tech at Rustin to the tune of 2 1 to 6 and 13 to 5. Tadlock, Hitt, and Holland hit well in the first game. Lancaster and Tadlock led at the plate in the second. Millsaps took the last two of their series 15 to 7 and 6 to 4. In the first game Tadlock, Hitt, McLeod, Holland, and Berry drove out 9 hits, but were completely outclassed by the Majors. In the second, Hitt hit for the circuit, and McLeod got 3 for 4 off the heated rivals. The Tribe closed the season at Ole Miss, losing the opener to Ike Pearson, who later went to the Philadelphia Phillies where he won two games be- fore the season closed. Special honors go to Charlie Armstrong who collected three hits for four trips off the great Rebel moundsman. The second game proved a thriller, the Choctaws getting 13 hits behind the fine pitching of Billy Rainer to beat the Rebels 10 to 7 and close the season with a bang.

INTRAMURAL SPORTS In order to aid in carrying out the program for a well-balanced life for every student at Mississippi College, the Athletic Department has for a number of years sponsored an intramural program. For the past two years three fellowships have been given to students in the Physical Educa- tion Department. The added duty of these fellows is to carry out a program of intramural sports. Regular schedules for our class and four independent teams are played in basketball and softball. Other activities include touch football and swimming. Approximately seventy per cent of the student body participates in some regular or intramural sport. The chief aim of the Athletic Department is to provide physical activity for every Mississippi College student. t89] ATHLETIC COUNCIL DR. A. E. WOOD Chairman DR. A. A. KITCHINGS PROF. J. R. HITT DR.

In conclusion, the editor and business manager wish to take this opportunity to thank certain people who have made the presentation of this book possible. Benson Printing Company has cooperated in every detail of the work to the fullest extent. We are indebted to them for many helpful suggestions and for their sincere desire to please. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, of the Art Studio, deserve special recognition for their ettort in getting the pictures out at an early date. Shreveport Engraving Company aided us materially in planning the book. Miss bridges and Jimmy Haynsworth deserve special mention for their personal interest and work. Cole Studio was very cooperative in filling many last-minute orders. Kiel Sterling, representing American Beauty Cover Company, through his personal interest enabled us to obtain the cover we wanted. Dean ' Cokie Held and Dr. Deevers aided us materially by letting us use their photographic equipment. Dean Held served as a very able critic and adviser. Through actual work he proved himself a friend to the annual and to Mississippi College. Staff members Ishee, Dobbins and Heinrich have given freely of their time and energy. Bert Ishee has done a good job as sports editor, both in helping with the pictures and the manuscript. Dobbins and Heinrich have done a large part of the copy for the book. Sybil DeWeese and Louise Cartledge have done a creditable piece of work at Hillman. We are sorry that, due to lack of space, we cannot mention all who have worked and cooperated to make this annual possible. Our Ofope It is our sincere hope that the making of all pictures for the Tribesman except the portraits will continue and progress to the extent that pictures for all Mississippi College bulletins and publications will be made in one central darkroom. The business manager and editor of the 1940 Tribesman leave a start towards this end through the cooperation of Mr. Turcott, Mrs. Johnson, Dr. Deevers, and Dean Colbert Held. We still have hope that some compulsory publication fee will be adopted. After completing the work on this year ' s annual, we still believe, as we did last year, that such a system would be a good thing for Mississippi College. NORMAN W.
