JESSE THOMAS WALLACE - DR. JESSE THOMAS WALLACE, whose utter lack of hypocrisy, legendary mannerisms, broad knowledge, and constructive Christianity endeared him to countless num- bers of students and friends of the college. Head of the Department of History and Sociology for thirty-four years, a teacher of unusual ability and unsurpassed merit, Dr. Wallace made it his effective life work to mould and to instruct his boys ' into leaders and pro- ponents of truth. For the soundness of his observations both upon History and — what is more important — Life, for the transcendent greatness of his soul do we pause here in grateful commemoration of his memory. i n m 1 1 [ with most sincere and earnest admiration the simple yet singularly great characteristics which have distinguished the devoted services and untiring efforts of DR. JOHN WILLIAM PROVINE during his 49 years of service at Mis- sissippi College. President-emeritus of the college and twice president of Mississippi College, president of the Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, the sometimes president of the Mississippi Teachers’ Association, Dr. Provine always has been a True-hearted Christian, Loyal Friend, Profound Scholar, Inspiring Teacher, Beloved Execu- tive, A GENUINE GENTLEMAN OF THE SOUTH. It is with deep sadness and heart-felt regret that we must note the retirement of Dr. Provine from active instruction at the end of this school session. DR. JOHN WILLIAM PROVINE RESIDENT Of TOE BOARD Of TRUSTEES MR. T. M. HEDERMAN MRS. T. M. HEDERMAN Mr. T. M. Hederman, Publisher and Editor of the Jackson Daily Clar- rion-Ledger, has served as President of the Board of Trustees since 1938. A constant be- liever in the aims and ideals of Mississippi Col- lege, he has activated his loyalty to his adopted alma mater by efficiently directing the work of the Board and by staunchly supporting the Choctaws in every possible way. President of Mississippi College since his inaugu- ration in 1932, Dr. D. M. Nelson has tried to make of the college a true community of learning in continually and pro- gressively promoting a program of Christian education and leader- ship. A high point of his administration has been the attainment of the college to the highest standard of ranking among American col- leges. MRS. D. M. NELSON Mississippi College, like the rock in a weary land, has stood true to God and his program, has striven to meet all human needs and to pro- mote truth and virtue. In this era of confusion, she still points the way of wisdom. For over a century she has met the rush of time. Tried in the fires, most of the wood and stubble have burned, leaving only the gold and pure metals. During the years she has changed, but always has settled more firmly upon her rock founda- tion — Christ. kWA till, in A steady seeking for maximum efficiency and achievement in the field of education has been the chief aim a.id purpose of the administration for the past nine years. During this time, many notable and significant advances have been made. In 1937, the college was placed on the approved list of the Association of American Universities — the highest academic rating which may be attained in this country. Again in 1937, in furtherance of the purpose of maintenance and improvement to the highest possible standards of academic instruction, a six-weeks ' -term system or plan of study was inaugurated. A brief summary of the past nine years would show a vastly improved financial position, increase in endow- ment, improvement and addition to buildings, grounds, and class- room equipment. Of especial interest is the addition of over 12,000 volumes to the college library. A definite clarification of aims and principles has been made with the purpose in view of enabling Mississippi College to make even greater progress in the future. JOHN WILLIAM PROVINE Ph.D., LL.D.

[193 Following an often precedent-breaking, frequently progressive, unusually prudent policy, the Student Government has had a most successful year in performing well its varied duties while operating within a limited budget. Payment of a con- siderable portion of back debt, issuance of a most representative Tomahawk, felicitous perpetuation of student body spirit and morale are but characteristic actions. A definite advance towards objectives has been made by the three main Student Government Councils. The Executive Council has conducted student body elections and has held several meetings during the session in execution of its supervisory capacity. The Honor Council has furnished outstanding work in under- taking a most delicate task in the formation of a working Honor System. Mainte- nance, improvement of athletic relations, recommendation of lettermen, efficient guidance of all phases of Mississippi College athletics have featured the work of the Athletic Council this year.

ROLAND DUDLEY MARBLE LUTHER TERRELL TYLER JOHN WILLIAM WILLS PUBLICATIONS The Mississippi College Publications Association was organized in the spring of the year 1940 with the somewhat ideal- istic purpose of bringing more closely to- gether and of more solidly unifying the three student body publications — the Tribesman, the Collegian, and the Arrow- head — under a one harmoniously working governing body. Impelled by the keen knowledge of the destructive effects upon the continual development and better- ment of the publications of the lack of a compulsory publications fee and of dis- cord between staffs, the outgoing and the incoming editors and business managers gave formulation to a socialistic, sup- posedly cooperative agreement between the publications. ASSOCIATION As adopted, this agreement provided that membership in the Association should consist of the respective editors and business managers and of a publica- tions photographer. A definite under- standing was reached concerning the uni- fication of the separate subscriptions fees and of the pro rata division of a new total fee. Plans were projected for a coordination of subscription efforts, col- lections, and bookkeeping. Maintenance of a central photographic darkroom for all three publications was provided for. This agreement between publications ap- pertained definitely to financial policy only. The workability of these basic pro- visions has been proved in this the first year of the existence of the Publications Association. That, however, the plan is still in an embryonic stage may be seen in that eleven out of sixteen provisions have become inoperative. The attempt to maintain a combined publications dark- room must be considered a failure. Co- operation and harmony between staffs — although as great as that of other years — has been but nominal. A definite forward stride has been taken, however, for even partial operation of this plan has made possible greater reader coverage, facili- tated quicker and more efficient collec- tions, and shown the way for what should be a complete and successful operation of this or some similar plan for the next year. [ 22 ] Edited by the erratic but sometimes capable Austin C. Dobbins, the 1941 issue of the Tribesman shows a final promise of appearing for the subsequent criticism from the student body. Much effort has been expended by the staff in a determined attempt to give a more proper emphasis to the various features and to modernize the style and the make-up of the yearbook. While no radically drastic changes have been deemed necessary, several innova- tions such as the selection of the most im- portant personages on the campus by both stu- dent and faculty vote, the inclusion of the hithertofore neglected Board of Trustees, and the endeavor to maintain section continuity through the use of the foreword and of class letters have been made. A chief consideration has been given to an accurate and adequate presentation of student life. Renovation of the sponsor section, change of the thoroughly anti- quated faculty pictures — the general striving after an unusuality of photographic effect — inclusion of more work pertaining to literary interest: in short summation, originality, dis- tinctiveness of lay-out, is the basis upon which the 1941 Tribesman is offered for indictment.

WILLS Editor L. G. HORN Business Manager Edited by the capable but conservative John W. Wills, the Mississippi Collegian made definite forward strides this year. Clinging to a remarkable belief that the task of a college newspaper is both to re- flect and to mould student opinion, the weekly newssheet well fulfilled its purpose in making itself the mouthpiece of the en- tire student population of Mississippi and Hillman Colleges. For, starting with its first issue, the Collegian busied itself with what has proved to be the primary problem of the student school year: the formation of a working Honor System. An achievement of interest along this line has been the re- installation of a telephone in Chrestman Hall. Without exception, commen- dation must be given to each member of the staff. Special credit is due to John Shep- ard for work in all depart- ments of the paper; to col- umnists Grady Cothen, Riley Munday, Robert Lowrey; to the writers of Larry Lawrence and The Tattler; to Sports Editor Stanley Hattox; and fo News Editors David Smiley and Billy Skelton. i cations STAFF ROGER BARRETT Editor L. HENRY Business Manager From its formal beginning in September of the year 1939 under the tutorage of William Turner, the Arrowhead has at- tempted to fulfill a definite need on the Mississippi College campus. Having as its purpose the providing of a more adequate means of student literary expression, this second year the publication has faced a considerable number of handicaps. In Jan- uary, Editor Roger Barrett withdrew from school and Assistant Editor Paul Nunnery assumed editorial duties. Lack of student interest and of financial support have proved to be almost insurmountable diffi- culties. Only through an admirable perse- verance of the staff has the magazine con- tinued thus far this year. The superlative of adjectives should be used in description of the efforts of Assistant Editor Paul Nunnery, Feature Editor Louis Dollarhide, Sports Editor Gene Wirth, and writer David Caul. Without the labors of this small group much of the Arrowhead would have come to nought. j ' ’ ' 4 5 Jr . £zr o „„. • fi, • f � o r : ' ■ i. c s .v £ i s ST.i,. p (,,, Oer HI Jf • .

President HARTWELL McPHAIL Vice-President CHARLES WILLIAM JORDON Secretary-Treasurer The senior steadied by the tradi- tions of Mississippi College, grounded upon the sure founda- tion, trained by a well-rounded program, and upheld and sustained by the friendship of Christian brothers, can face even this age with hope. Basic human needs are the same, perhaps, more intensi- fied. Ideals are still worth striving for, though, perhaps, harder to attain.

For his friendly face, his happy and laughing manner, his distinct achievements made him more than welcome wherever he chose to go. A Special Distinction student and a Fellow in Organic Chemistry, Joe was easily the most outstanding scholar in his class. Three years first-chair oboe player in the Band, he was everywhere recognized as a musician of the most unusual type. The class of 1941 is proud to claim him as a member.

CHARLES MERLE WILLIAMS Carthage Mississippi ' s oldest college for girls offers those advantages in the things of life that really count to the kind of girl who is look- ing for them. The aim of the school is expressed in its motto: Each for the other and all for God. This same spirit of love and service has dwelt within the walls of Hillman for over eighty years. H I L L M A N Mr. Berry ' s practical executive ability, his sincerity of thought, his sympathetic nature, and his genuine Christian character are all woven together in perfect harmony to make the ideals of Hillman working realities. D ' In 1852, the Central Baptist Association of Mis- sissippi appointed a Board of Trustees for the pur- pose of establishing a college for young ladies of desirable character and reputation. In 1853, this college — known as the Central Female Insti- tute — with William Duncan as president, formally opened its doors. The name of the school was changed to Hillman College in 1906, in honor of Dr. Walter Hillman, the school ' s third president. In 1906, Dr. W. T. Lowrey took over the manage- ment of the college and was president until 1923, when he resigned, and was succeeded by the vice- president, M. P. L. Berry, who has been at the head of Hillman since that time. Hillman College has survived, not because it is a rich institution, but rather because it has been a school of char- acter and of well-deserved reputation. W. Through her beautiful and noble Christian character, Mrs. Riley has been a g uide and inspiration to us all; truly it can be said that the keynote of her life is service. FACULTY MRS. S. E. CRANFILL.

MID-WINTEH FROLIC The other night I had a mos ' severe nightmare, the kind whut comes after eatin ' a lotta food (?) an wonderin ' if you gonna be able ter digest it. ell, sometime after midnight I started seein ' them animals. I don ' t rightly know whuther they ' s a circus er or a farm ' er jus ' whut. Somehow ' nother they looked pow ' ful like some folks I know, but understan ' I ain ' t accusin ' nobuddy. Seems like the guy in charge o ' all this wus a ' Wise old Owl — if you gets whut I mean. He ' s pre- sidin over a race ' tween a Tortoise an ' a Hair — beg pardon — Hare; these two animals wus called Pierce an ' Keelhoffer, if I ain ' t mistaken. The race wus goin ' purty fine till in runs two Cats, Jones an ' Myatt, a Manx and a PURRsion, respect- fully. After ' em jus ' a tearin ' comes three Ruthless Pups. I found out they names wus Pekinese Cole, Scottie Hutson, and Terrier Simmons. An ' I ain ' t forgive ' em yet fer breakin ' up that race. ' Bout that time tho ' th ' cutes ' li ' l Monkey come a friskin ' in — name o ' Grace. But Gracie done lef when th ' big animals come. They ' s a deer whut ' s called Shirley an ' also three giraffes, Murray, Walker, an ' Burch. They ' s some more, too, but I ain ' t remembered nothin ' after I seen them pink Elephunts, DuBose and Moss. Nawsuh, that put an end to my dreamin ' — nightmare ' er no nightmare. nineteen fdhty-une [ 67 ] FHESHMEN RUBY NELL ALDRIDGE Pattison GERTRUDE VIRGINIA BASS Seminary RUBIE MAE BLACKWELL Columbia DOROTHY BRASELL Batesville CARROLL BULLOCK Tylertown JEANETTE CONRAD Jackson CANNIE MARIE CRANE Pascagoula BERNICE DeLASHMET Clinton NELL ELY Minter City MARJORIE GENE FERGUSON Ingomar MARY EMILY GREENWAY Silver Creek MARY ANNA HARDIN Calhoun City [ 68 ] JIMMIE NELL HINSON MARTHA IRENE HUBBARD MARY KELLY FLORIS McCANDLESS KATIE NETHERLAND SARAH PEEPLES EDNA PITTMAN MADGE STERLING JOEALLYNE TYLER HAXEL WILLIAMS CLARICE WILLIAMSON RUBY ZANE YANCY [ 69 ] Tylertown Jackson Morton Lyon Clinton Eupora Pascagoula Jackson Kosciusko Gloster Glen Allan Bruce STUDENTS NOT REPRESENTED IN CLASS SECTIONS Blanche Busby, 2 Winnie Bounds, I June Benson, I Carolyn Caraway, I Bessie Chance, 2 Walter Brown Abney, 3 John Roger Addkinson, 2 Charles Marcus Alexander, I Cecil Wylie Alford, 2 John Stahl Barr, 2 William Gurney Beam, I Elmer Holmes Bearden, 3 Emmett Russell Blade, 3 Willard Henry Boggan, Jr., I Charles Leroy Boland, 2 Eva Vondelle Boyd, 2 Clifford Brewer, I John Franklin Brock, Jr., I Robert Roy Buchanan, 2 Roy Myrle Burkett, 3 Andrew Littleton Busby, 3 John Purser Bush, 3 Clifton Lee Byrd, I William Carl Capehart, 2 Nollie Wilbur Carpenter, Jr., 2 Andrew Jackson Chandler, I Sam Lewis Cocke, I William Cook, Jr., I Paul Houston Cranford, 3 Valera Williams Cranford, 3 Robert Shaver Crawford, I Robert Clarence Creed, 2 Versie Ray Crider, 3 Nelson Frank Davis, 3 Fitzhugh Lee Dickson, Jr., I David Talbert Dotson, 3 Archie Grover Dunaway, Jr., I Perry Thompson Egger, I Hampton Calvin England, Jr., 3 Mrs. Ethel Gotcher Estes, 2 Welburne Rogers Everett, 3 Addie Lorenzo Flurry, Sp.

[ 76 ] StERLING performances and com- petent coaching brought Mississippi College athletics to new heights of achievement this year. A share in the football championship, a second place in the track meet, and a third place in the basketball standings constituted the best all-around record for Choctaw teams in the nine-year history of the Dixie Confer- ence. Winning seasons resulted in three of four major sports. Of forty-eight scheduled sports events, Mississippi College overcame the opp osition in twenty-nine. Individuals who received widespread recognition for their ability included Boyce Jones and Charles Armstrong in football and Carter Blake and Wilson Fulton in basketball. MEMBERS COACH STANLEY L.

Six of these men are selected from among the faculty, three men from among the student body, and the three coaches complete the roll. As is implied by its name, the duty of this group is to act as a governing board for the guidance and control of all policies and phases of Mississippi College Ath- letics. As an integral part of the Student Government, the committee ' s services are further required for the judging of the qualifications and achievements of an ath- lete in making out its recommendations to the student body as to who shall become lettermen during each year of its office. The Athletic Council for many years has been one of the most efficient groups upon the Mississippi College campus. THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL 180 ] ROBBIE AND HIS STAFF Coach Stanley L. Robinson came to Mississippi College as Director of Athletics and has retained that position ever since except for an interlude of four years during which he served at Mercer University. In seventeen campaigns, Robinson-coached football teams have recorded a total of seventy-eight wins, fifty-two defeats, and ten ties against schools whose average enrollments have been higher than that of Mississippi College. During his profitable stay, Squatty has become an institution on the campus. His forceful personality, Yankee commonsense, and ex- emplary character have served as an inspiration not only for the men he coaches but to every member of succeeding student bodies.

Combining speed, power, and deception with a forceful will to win, the fighting Choctaws swept over five foes: Cen- tre, Spring Hill, Millsaps, Mercer, and Louis- iana College. Only a tie with Chattanooga and a loss to Colgate, one of the pigskin powers of the nation, marred a seven-game schedule which included several games with larger schools. A Dixie Conference record of three victories and a tie brought to Mississippi College a share in the championship for the first time since the ieague was organized in 1932. This honor climaxed what might be termed a golden era in Mississippi College football. CAPTAIN BOYCE JONES During a three-year period, Blue and Gold teams have won eighteen games and lost only four, a record unparalleled for the same length of time in the history of the school. Largely responsible for this remarkable aggregate are the members of the squad who belong to the present Senior class and who finished their football careers in November. Undefeated as Freshmen, they formed the nucleus of all three of these mighty varsity squads. The loss of this talented group necessitates a complete reconstruction of the squad for next year. [ 82 ] Present on the team were individuals who were recognized for their outstanding con- tributions. For the second consecutive year, Captain Boyce Jones and Charles Armstrong were selected by sports writers as tackle and fullback, respectively, on the All-Conference eleven. Jones was one of two small college players from the South who participated in the North-South all-star game at Montgomery, Alabama on New Year ' s Day. Armstrong led all Conference backs in scoring for 1940. Lonnie Tadlock and Wilson Fulton were placed on the second Conference team. Fulton was named the most valuable player by his team- mates at the end of the season. Bob Majure with his passing and James McLeod with his weak-side running contributed much to the fierceness of the Indian attack. The unher- alded linemen — Matthews, Sanders, Franks, McPhail, Hughes, Dotson, and Dearing — each was a definite cog in the machine. The quar- terbacking of Bob Carroll continually caught the enemy flat-footed. Behind these stalwarts came the less-used reserves who were gaining experience whenever possible for future Choc- taw campaigns. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER, LEFTY FULTON CONFERENCE CO-CHAMPS BOB MAJURE, Back RIP PRIESTER, Back CHARLES ARMSTRONG, Back RAY IZARD Senior Football Manager TRUETT BUSH Junior Football Manager Mississippi College, 20; Centre, 13 The Choctaws gave an indication of their ability in the first game of the season, played on Provine Field with strong Centre College of Danville, Ky. After Charlie Armstrong had broken the ice with a forty-one-yard blast through the Colonel defenses, the visitors assumed control and, by virtue of an equally imposing run coupled with a brutal drive down the yard-markers, went to the dressing room at half-time with a 13-7 lead. The indomitable spirit which figured so greatly in future triumphs of the season for Mississippi Col- lege asserted itself at the very beginning of the sec- ond half. Inspired by the courageous performance of little Lonnie Tadlock, who had converted a twenty-yard loss into a large gain by outrunning his pursuers, the Choctaws swept into Centre territory. From the Colonel twenty-three, Armstrong shot a strike to Fulton in the end zone and then put the home team ahead for the second time with a perfect place- ment. A third touchdown on a short plunge by Bob Majure brought the count to 20-13 and an end to scoring activities for the night. SEASON OPENS WITH WIN . . � i® ROY SANDERS, Guard DAVID DOTSON, Guard Mississippi College, 7; Chattanooga, 7 On the following Friday night in Chattanooga, Tenn., the battle which ultimately decided the Con- ference title took place. Fighting bitterly and evenly for sixty sensational minutes, the Mississippi College Choctaws and the Chattanooga Moccasins retired from hostilities just where they had begun — with a 7-7 deadlock. Although both teams were superior offensively and had many scoring opportunities, they each were able to cash in but once. The two touchdowns came early in the contest. The visitors from Mississippi scored first after three fumbles had given them the ball on the Moc thirty-five yard line. On the third play, Tadlock took an Armstrong pass on the five and stepped over the final stripe for six points. A long run a few minutes later canceled the Choctaw advantage, and the game then settled into a dog-fight featured by goal-line stands by both teams. Chattanooga twice made field-goal attempts, and Choctaw James McLeod almost got away once after a blocked punt; but none of the threats were quite good enough to count. AND T I E COLGATE CLEANS UP Mississippi College, 0; Colgate, 31 With two weeks of intense preparation behind them, a squad of twenty-five Choctaws boarded a Pullman late on Tuesday night for the trip of the season and the sentimental game with Coach Robbie ' s Alma Mater, Colgate University, at Hamilton, N. Y. The trip proved to be much more pleasant than the game. Paced by a will- of-the-wisp runner named Bill Geyer, the Red Raiders scored in every quarter and won handily, 31-0. The reserve power of the opposition was simply too much for the outmanned Braves. Despite the outcome, the Choctaws put up their usual stout resistance. Lefty Fulton was especially brilliant in this battle, being named by several sports writers as the best end to perform at Hamilton during the year. Only in the fading minutes did the vaunted Indian attack show any spark when Armstrong led a drive of sixty yards to the enemy sixteen. Here, the home defense tightened, and the spark blew out. Coach Rob- inson was obviously saving his key men for the big battle with Millsaps on the following week. It was the fourth clash between the teams, all of which have been Colgate victories. LEFTY FULTON, End CARTER BLAKE. End CHARLES JORDAN, End Mississippi College, 41; Spring Hill, 7 In the Spring Hill game, the Indians were on the warpath and smothered the Badgers from Mobile under a 41-7 blanket. The M. C. attack, led again by Armstrong and Tad- lock reached cyclone proportions in the first and third quarters, during which all the scores were recorded. Armstrong started the ava- lanche with a sparkling sprint from midfield on a fake punt. Shortly after, Tadlock caught a pass in the clear and got across. It was Charlie ' s turn again, and he obliged with an off-tackle jaunt that brought the score to 20 points. The lone Badger score came here when the careless Clan let one of the Badger ' s fast little backs get away once. The second half was a repetition of the first. Armstrong and Tadlock each scored again, and McLeod added the final touchdown by falling on a loose ball in the enemy end zone. •After that, the regulars went to the shower room and the reserves took over, holding their own against the tired opposition through the fourth quarter. [ 87 ] BOYCE JONES, Tackle DEWEY METTS, Tackle Mississippi College, 27; Millsaps, 0. The high point of the season was reached in the game with the Millsaps Majors, played on the night of November 2 on Provine Field. Pres- ent for the contest was a record crowd of some four thousand partisans of both teams who over- f ' owed the seating capacity of the stadium. Due to their unbeaten performance in four games, the Majors entered the classic slight fa- vorites over their Clinton rivals. Except for the first two minutes before Mis- sissippi College gained possession of the ball, the favorites were never in the contest. On the first Choctaw play from scrimmage, McLeod dashed off tackle and plunged deep into Purple territory before he was dragged down from be- hind. A few plays later, Armstrong took it over from the three, and the boys were off to the races. One of the neatest plays of the year pre- ceded the second touchdown when Tadlock took a shovel pass behind the line and wiggled through twenty yards to the five. On the next play, McLeod went over standing up to bring the score to 14-0 at the half. The second half of that memorable battle stands as a monument to the playing of that masterly broken field specialist, Lonnie Tadlock. Handicapped by a knee injury throughout his col- legiate career, Lonnie came into his own that night. First, he intercepted a Millsaps aerial and like a rabbit scooted forty yards down the side- lines and away from his pursuers. A few minutes later he caught a pass in a swarm of Majors, only to escape miraculously and to record his second score for the period. The final score, 27-0, marked the third straight year that the Jackson school had failed to cross the Choctaw goal line. As usual, the contest was marred by much rough play. With the outcome definite, Coach Robin- son again sent his reserves in to play the fourth quarter and to tgain more valuable varsity expe- rience. [381 I MASSACRE ON PROVINE FIELD 1941 VARSITY SQUAD I C T 0 R I E Mississippi College, 26; Mercer, 0 The last road trip of the season took the Choctaws to Macon, Ga., where they encountered the heavy Mercer Bears. There, they spoiled Homecoming festivities by handing the Georgians a 26-6 drubbing. Tak- ing advantage of a blocked punt, the Indians scored immediately as Lonnie Tadlock skirted end for the necessary yardage. But the Bears came back strongly with a forty-six-yard march and were only behind by the extra point at half-time. Showing their characteristic sec- ond-half steam, the Clinton clan tallied quickly on an Armstrong-to- Fulton aerial to bring the score to 13-6. Then came McLeod ' s long dis- tance run of seventy-three yards down the sideline. With the game in the bag, Armstrong pulled a spec- tacular fake pass which brought on- lookers to their feet and brought a fourth touchdown to the Choctaw total. On this play, Charlie twice was completely trapped by Bruin tacklers and got away only by some expert hip-twisting. The victory as- sured Mississippi College a share in the Conference championship for 1940. CARL CAPEHART, Tackle MARK FINAL 6 A M E S Mississippi College, 32; Louisiana College, 6 In the grand finale, the Choctaws met Louisiana College in the only afternoon game of the season. Pres- ent to see thirteen members of the squad perform for the last time was a colorful Homecoming crowd. Mis- sissippi College went ahead on the third play of the game and was never seriously threatened. Again, the of- fensive stars were Armstrong and Tadlock with Majure and McLeod pe- riodically coming in for their share of glory. Before Coach Robbie began to send in the entire squad, the score had mounted to 32-6; and that ' s the way it read at the end of the game. Playing for the last time in Blue and Gold uniforms were the following men: Bob Majure, Bob Carroll, Charles Armstrong, Lonnie Tadlock, and Dub Stewart, backs; Hartwell McPhail and Jim Wood, centers; Red Franks and Popeye Dearing, guards; Archie Matthews and Cap- tain Boyce Jones, tackles; and Carter Blake and Pat Wilkinson, ends. Of these, seven were in the usual starting line-up. RAYFORD McPHEARSON, Back JAMES McLEOD, Back TERRELL TYLER, Back OFFICERS Evans Thigpen ARMSTRONG President C. T. Jones TADLOCK Franks FULTON . .

THE M CLUB [ 92 ] BASKETBALL Hampered throughout the season by recur- rent injuries among several key men, Coach Melvin Landrum ' s Mississippi College basket- eers nevertheless tacked up a total of twelve wins in eighteen contests during the regular swing and then gave the Champion Millsaps Majors a dog-fight before going down in the semi-final round of the Dixie Conference tour- nament which was held in Jackson early in March. Pacesetter of the quintet was towering Carter Blake, six-foot five-inch guard who completed a blazing cage career this year by topping Conference individual scorers with 190 points and being placed on the loop all- star aggregation for the second straight time. The other Choctaw who appeared on the All- Dixie team was all-around athlete Lefty Fulton, who led his teammates in the tourna- ment after a slow season due to a painful leg injury. The return of E. V. Watts to the line-up late in January was largely responsible for the obvious im provement in play shown in the late games. Watts was not the bucket-busting wizard who once led two Choctaw champion- ship teams, but he was the stabilizer for the flighty members of the squad. Laney Berry, Charley Tom Jones, N. F. Davis, and Carl Capehart each played many minutes and will be valuable in next year ' s plans. Senior Charles Jordon ran up the best single per- formance of the year with a twenty-six point total against the University of Mexico. SCHEDULE Choctaws . . 34; Miss.

Former Choctaw coach Dick Hitt ' s Mississippi State Maroons took the opening contest of the season by a 38-34 count. Charles Jordan ' s last-minute field goal in Memphis the next night pulled a 49-46 thriller against Southwestern out of the fire. The whirlwind Delta State five thrashed the Chocs in Cleveland in the final tilt, 47-28. After the holidays, the Indians outscored the Univer- sity of Mexico in an international goodwill affair, 75-69. A return game with Southwestern proved a great deal easier than the first, and the Tribe romped to a 54-31 victory. With an unbeaten record, the highly-touted Majors of Millsaps came to Clinton next for the first game of a four-tilt series; but the inspired Braves snatched a lead in the second half and held on grimly to take a 33-31 decision. In the Jackson counterpart on the following CARL CAPEHART N. F. DAVIS EDWIN EVANS WILSON FULTON HENRY GOODLOE CHARLES JONES CHARLES JORDAN DEWITT LANDRUM HARTWELL McPHAIL JAMES WALKER night, there was a different story to tell. The Choctaws faded early and allowed the Purple and White team to pull away to a 48-28 final tally. E. V. Watts here joined the team in time to play in a four-game trip through Alabama and Georgia. An unexpectedly strong Spring Hill team slipped up on the Indians and beat them by a 42-39 score in their first engagement. The count in games was evened the next night with a 43-34 Tribe victory. A two-game stand with the Mercer Bears at Macon resulted in 80-62 and 49-42 massacres. The professional champion Celtics next gave the Chocs the annual basketball lessons, and, incidentally, a couple of beatings. It looked like Watts would beat State singlehanded in the return battle, but the Maroons broke a half-time tie to win easily, 63-45. The touring Chatta- nooga Moccasins proved no difficulty and went down 46 to 24. Again it was time for the two Millsaps games, and again each team won on its home court. Carter Blake turned in his masterpiece performance of the season with a twenty-three point spree to lead to a 47-45 Major downfall in the first tilt. A shift to the Jackson scene ELVIRA WATTS M. L. HENRY, Manager 1941 Freshman Squad for the second affair brought back the Choctaw ineffi- ciency and a 48-36 shellacking. The team traveled to Clarksdale for a pre-tournament brace of games with the Southwestern Lynx which brought decisive Tribe triumphs. The regular season closed with a third-place conference record of ten wins in thirteen games. Blake placed first and Fulton fourth in confer- ence scoring. Coach Landrum’s boys drew Mercer as their prelim- inary opponent in the Dixie Conference Tournament and promptly pinned the Bears by a 51-43 score. On the next night, Southwestern was beaten by a score of 60-53. Then came the climax of the season — the pay-off semi- final tilt with Millsaps. Led by a red-hot Lefty” Fulton, the Chocs moved to a 19-8 advantage midway in the first half. But, the entry of a pair of thorns in the persons of Kemmitzer and Carr revived the Majors and brought them to within six points of the Indian total at the rest period. The lead seesawed between the teams during the second part until Jones of the Jacksonians put the Clan out of the running with a crip shot with seconds to play. The Majors went on to win the title on the following night by a twenty-point advantage. TRACK In his first year as track mentor at Mississippi College, Coach Glen Walker showed a team that won three out of five meets and was runner- up in the first Dixie Conference track champion- ship. The Choctaws defeated Millsaps three times, twice in triangular meets with Ole Miss and Louisiana College and once in a regular dual meet. Defeats were handed the Indians by Loy- ola and Southwestern, the first in a triangular meet at New Orleans with Louisiana Tech, the second in a dual meet at Memphis. Due largely to the work of Coach Stanley Rob- inson, the first Conference track meet in the his- tory of the organization was held on Provine Field in connection with Student Day. Four of eight Conference teams sent representatives. Loyola ' s outstanding cinder aggregation cap- tured ten of fifteen first places and won easily. Mississippi College, although it did not place first in a single event, managed to take enough second and third places to edge out Southwest- ern. Millsaps was the other team in the compe- tition. Outstanding season performances were turned in by Captain Bert Ishee and Harry Cole in the distance runs. Both men won four of five meet performances in the mile and two-mile and placed second to Jimmy Delholm of Loyola in the Conference championships. Other Choctaws who stood out in their events were Lewis and Stewart in the pole vault; Blake and Hudson in the high jump; Mullens in the sprints; Sumrall and Dotson in the quarter-mile; and Capehart, Jones, and Matthews in the weights. After a month of hard workouts, the track team invaded New Orleans for a triangular af- fair with Loyola and Louisiana Tech. The host Wolves collected fifty-six points to forty for Mis- sissippi College and twenty-three for Tech. Chilly weather and a slippery track held down record attempts in time and distance. Winners among the Choctaws in this meet were Earl Lewis with a ten-foot six-inch vault and Hartwell McPhail in the high hurdles. The Indian relay team also cap- tured first place honors. Good time was turned in by Cole and Ishee, who were running against the phenomenal Delholm. Loyola ' s ace sprinters — Liska and Segura — swept the hundred and two-twenty yard dashes. Taking nine out of fifteen possible first places, Mississippi College came back with a bang to win over Millsaps on the following Friday after- COLE, Captain-Elect LANCASTER SUMRALL, Captain-Elect McCALL McPHAIL LANDRUM BERT ISHEE, Captain FULTON MULLENS McPHEARSON s n noon. So close was the count, however, that the mile relay proved to be the deciding event. In this, the combination of Ishee, Sumrall, Suddeth, and Dotson won by twenty yards to bring the final score to 67-64. The closest performance of the day was turned in by Canterbury of the Majors, who broke the tape in 15.5 seconds in the high hurdles. Lewis maintained his winning status in the pole vault; Matthews and Jones dominated the shot and discus; Mullens won his letter with a sparkling run in the two-twenty; Cole and Ishee began their continued dom- inance over Millsaps in the distances. Again it was Mississippi College and Millsaps on the following week, and this time Louisiana College was included as a buffer. At the end of an afternoon which saw three stadium records eclipsed, the Chocs again proved their superior- ity by rolling up 58 points against 47 for the Majors and 27 for the Wildcats. Canterbury of Millsaps ran a 15.3 high hurdle race which bet- tered any previous mark for that event. Choc- taw Lewis broke a second record by topping twelve feet in the pole vault. The third record- breaking performance was that of Louisiana College ' s Aguillard, who went to 21 feet 9 inches in the broad jump. Continuing their unbeaten performance on Provine Field, the Choctaw cinder stars next turned back the University of Mississippi Rebels and the ever-persistent Majors in a triangular meet. Minus the services of sprinter-de-luxe Dick Bowman, Ole Miss just managed to nose out the Militants, while Mississippi College forged out into a big lead. Ishee and Cole won their third straight distance runs; Lewis again went twelve feet in the pole vault to tie Hamil- ton of Ole Miss; Matthews and Canterbury maintained their champion of Provine Field status in the shot and hurdles. For the final regular meet of the season, the Tribesmen traveled to Memphis for a two-way encounter with the Southwestern Lynx. This meet was won 75-56 by the home team. Weak- ness in second and third positions robbed the Chocs of victory, although they had won seven of fourteen firsts. Pope and Bearden of the winners turned in brilliant performances in the sprints and javelin while Ishee was outstanding for the Mississippians with his best mile run of the season. Four Dixie Conference schools sent teams to the first championship meets. The Loyola squad, which had threatened to withdraw the night be- fore because of a decision to count five places in each event, walked off with the honors by amassing 93 points, nearly doubling the 51 score total of the host Choctaws. The Lynx of South- WADDELL SUDDUTH HUGHES RAY IZARD CAPEHART ISHEE JONES BUSBY MATTHEWS DOTSON western finished in third position with 45 points, while the mediocre Ma- jors lagged behind with a 34. In completely outdistancing their opposition, Loyola won ten of fifteen events and every flat race on the pro- gram. Her speedy sprinters, Segura and Liska, split the short runs. In the middle distances, Jimmy Delholm again outran his stout opposition from M. C. to capture these events. Millsaps, despite their insignificant total, presented a pair of winners to the total. Canterbury took his spe- cialty and Worthingt on copped the broad jump. Southwestern ' s winners were Bearden in the javelin and Un- derwood in the pole vault. In the high iump, Mississippi College gar- nered its only win through the efforts of Blake, who shared top honors with Partin and Falls of Southwestern. Mississippi College s chief strength lay in the lower positions. Those who placed for the Chocs were Mullens, who was fourth in both sprints; Ishee, who placed second in both the mile and half-mile; Sumrall, who placed third in the 440; Landrum, who gar- nered a fourth in the low hurdles; Mathews, Jones, and Capehart, who respectively won a third, two fourths, and a fifth in the weights; Stewart and Lewis, who got second and fourth in the pole vault; McCall, who was third in the broad jump; and the re- lay team, which came in just behind Loyola. i To the le ft, top: Carter, Lewis, Hudson, Stewart.

Paced by a well-balanced pitching staff, which included right-handers Evans, Knowles, Rainer, and left-hander Preacher Mills, the Choctaws usually won when they over- came the erratic fielding and inconsistent hitting which characterized most of their playing. To the left, top: Evans, Rainer, Mills. Top, center: McLeod, Alford, Hicks. Bot- tom, center: Walker, Doc Jones, Knowles. Bottom: Browning (Manager), Landrum, (Manager), Dale Smith (Manager). Big Guns in the Choctaw attack were Lefty Ful- ton, Lonnie Tadlock, Charlie Armstrong, and James Mc- Leod. Little Laney Berry contributed many a fielding gem from his position as shortstop. James Walker and Doc Jones, along with Armstrong, composed the best outfield combine in a number of years. The return of veterans in all positions indicates the possibility of a better team in 1941. With the loss of pitchers Rainer and Mills, Coach Robbie ' s chief worry will be the rebuilding of a depleted mound corps. If a couple of reliable twirlers can be found, a winning base- ball season for 1941 is not unlikely. To give the entire squad an opportunity to perform, Coach Robinson scheduled the opening game with Co- Lin Junior College of Wesson. With four pitchers un- dergoing workouts the Indians trounced the Wolves easily, 6-2. A home game against Illinois University furnished the next opposition for the Choctaws. The midwesterns dis- played a smooth, hard-hitting club which took the Chocs into camp on two sucessive afternoons by a 7-1 and a 20-6 score. On April I, Mississippi College began its annual Spring Holiday baseball trip with a doubleheader victory over Perkinston Junior College at Perkinston. In the following two days, the boys lost twice to the champion Spring Hill Badgers in Mobile: 5-2 and 3-2. Inability to hit at times when it would count turned these two games into defeats. A one-hit pitching performance by the Naval Station pitcher was too much for the Chocs in Pensacola. Returning, the team next invaded Oxford for a pair of tilts with the Ole Miss Rebels. Here again, batting weakness resulted in two defeats by 6-4 and 5-0 counts. Fulton banged out a four-base clout in the first game to help matters, but the Chocs were docile before the slants of Rebel pitcher Johnson on the next afternoon. An old-fashioned pitchers ' duel featured the first tilt in the crucial series with the Millsaps Majors. After the required nine innings, each team had collected two hits off Charley Ward and Shorty Mills; but the Militants had made their two hits count for the one run necessary to win. In the second game with the Majors, the Chocs finally found their swatting eyes and knocked out a 6-5 victory. Another mound duel between Rainer and Hart occurred until the ninth when catcher James McLeod broke up the game with a storybook homer. Although they lost their third game of the year to Spring Hill at Clinton, the Choctaws continued to show their rejuvenated hitting attack. James Walker knocked out two homers and Lonnie Tadlock knocked out one of the same in a fifteen-hit onslaught. The visiting Badgers managed to get more hits and runs, however, and came out on top by 13-8. A four-game series with Louisiana Tech, two games being played on each campus, resulted in a clean sweep for the Mississippians. In the Ruston games, Tadlock and Armstrong went on a basehit rampage to lead the Chocs to 8-5 and 16-9 wins. At Clinton, it was Fulton and Jones who came through. Rainer and Evans each won two of these games. The season was finished with the pay-off game against Millsaps in Jackson. Rainer and Hart again faced each other on the mound, and again the issue was settled in the ninth inning when the score was tied 5-5. This time, however, it was the Majors who won. A fourth game, played in Clinton, was called in the fourth inning with the score knotted at l-l. Choctaw batting averages were bunched together, no one player compiling an outstanding record. Captain- elect Lonnie Tadlock and Doc Jones made the largest number of safeties: nineteen each. Tadlock, Walker, Fulton, and McLeod each collected two home runs. Billy Rainer had the best record among the pitchers: five wins against four losses. BASEBALL [ 1001 TENNIS I N T R A M U R More interest has been shown this year in the intramural program sponsored by the Physical Education Department than in any recent year. Under the general direction of W. C. Stewart, tournaments have been held in nearly every sport. Independent and class basketball leagues were won by the Delta Rats and Juniors, re- spectively. The, intra-class track meet was won by the Seniors. Individual titles went to P. A. Lancaster in hand-ball, E. V. Watts in pingpong, and Von Dale Burkett in free throws. Plans were being made to stage an Intramural Day in the spring and to invite high school students from L SPORTS all over the state to visit and participate in a mammoth sports program. Included would be a track meet, soft-ball games, a swimming meet, volley ball games, and tennis matches. Such a program might well be used to bring prospective students of the highest type to the campus. The intramural program year by year seeks to get the average student interested in participa- tion in competitive sports in order to help him to develop a strong physique and those qualities of sportsmanship which come only through such participation. The program this year has come closer than ever before in achieving this pur- pose. i It is with the utmost of pleasure and pride that we present for your approval the sketches of those who are held in the greatest honor and esteem by the student chiefs of Missis- sippi College. This presentation of their fa- vorites is one of the most deeply cherished honors accorded to our campus leaders and to the organizations which they head. With these fair ladies are presented sixteen of the most representative Campus Personalities as chosen by student and faculty vote. 1 Index to Sponsors AUSTIN DOBBINS, Editor EDWIN EVANS, Business Manager ....

JOHN EASON HOWELL Sophomore Achieved recognition for his efficient and conscientious work as a leader of the Baptist Student Union. A member of the International Relations group so far as extra-curricular activities are concerned, Howell achieved the remarkable feat of making his sophomore year a year of con- centrated study. JOHN WATSON SHEPARD Junior When not too deeply engaged in activ- ities at Hillman, found his time occupied as Collegian Associate Editor, Tribesman Literary Editor, Vice-President of the Philo- matheans. Students elected him to put out the 1942 yearbook. WILLIAM CHAPEL DRUMMOND Senior Was chosen to Who ' s Who Among Col- lege Students for his last two years, was active in religious work, maintained a Special Distinction average despite his duties as dual president of both the Honor Council and the International Relations Club. JOHN DRAYTON WATTS Senior Roomed with Shepard; was selected to Who ' s Who Among College Students; achieved prominence as the potentate of the Philomatheans, Tribesman Literary Ed- itor, English Fellow, and Varsity Debater; managed to uphold a high Distinction average during his three-year tenure. WILLIAM KIT BEAN Junior That Gentleman from Missouri ; students rewarded his constructiveness as President of the Junior Sunday School Class and his intense interest in religious activities by elevating him to the most important post of presidency of the Baptist Student Union for the oncoming year. CARMAN CHARLES SHARP Senior Was romantically inclined his last year but other years functioned as an essential officer of the local B. S. U.

CHARLES ARMON JOLLY Sophomore Proved himself capable and industrious as President of the Freshman Sunday School Class, won the Kyser Medal for declama- tion his first year, claimed top honors in the 1941 State Oratorical Contest. P u A L I T I E S STUDENT VOTE LILY HOWELL JOHNSON Freshman was the unanimous choice of one Wilcox and of the great majority of the student body for the position of peplar ' pulchri- tude which nominally makes up the title of the Cutest Co-Ed of Mississippi Col lege. LACY GEORGE HORN Senior obtained an overwhelming 300 per cent plurality vote from the Co-Ed group as the Most Romantic, but was elected by the student body as Most Intelligent. Business Manager of the Collegian President of the Senior Class, Fellow in Biology, member of two Student Coun- cils, Horn was seldom seen with but the one of the fairer sex. WILLIAM RILEY MUNDAY Junior was well qualified to receive campus acclaim as student Biggest Bull Shooter as a result of his spritely weekly col- umnar writings of Taurus the Bull. In- tensely interested in religious and dra- matic activities, pastor of a full-time church, Munday was chosen by the stu- dents to the position of head cheer- leader for the 1942 season.

JAMES THOMAS McRAE Senior Vice-President of the Junior Class, officer in four other campus organizations, a leader in religious work, McRae charac- teristically claimed eminence by being given the titles of Most Dependable or Most Responsible and Leading Christian Student by campus vote. JAMES CLEO HARRIS Senior during his four years here had his finger ir most of the campus pies as Freshman President, President of the local B. S. U., past President of the State B. S. U., for- mer member of three Student Govern- ment Councils, Fellow in History, and member of the baseball team. Students named him as the Most Influential Stu- dent. Despite the absence of some thirty of the most capa- ble leaders on the campus as the result of the induc- tion of the Mississippi College 155th Infantry Regi- mental Band into the army in December, the extra- curricular organizations represented here have had this year the greatest and most successful year in the history of the present student generation. Almost with- out exception, each club and organization has sur- passed its high level of previous achievements and has continued in growth toward the ideal of service and training for service. i MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE BAND OFFICERS GEORGE HAZELRIGG MACKIE First Lieutenant Director of Band and Orchestra MARION ROOD WALDEN . .

C., has played an integral role in the proper development and furtherance of extra- curricular activities on the campus. Its activating purpose has been to keep the members of the the- atre group well informed in both the acting and in the technical sides of dramatic production. Al- though handicapped this year by the lack of an ex- perienced director, the Theatre has acquitted itself with the utmost creditability. Through the untiring efforts of student director Dwight Browning, the main production of the year, Arnold Ridley ' s thrill- ing mystery-comedy The Ghost Train, was ac- claimed by students as one of the best productions in the history of the Theatre.

Under the scholarly direction of Dr. W. F. Taylor, a comprehensive program was planned and fol- lowed in order to learn proper debating technique and in order to eli minate the continual usage by debaters of vague and trite terms. Highpoint of interest proved to be the winning of second place honors in the Millsaps Warm-Up Tournament by debaters Cothen and Wills. Debate tournaments at Natchitoches, Louisiana, and State College Mississippi, will complete the season. [ 130 ] 0 L E E L U B OFFICERS ALLEN O. WEBB President COLLINS P. MITCHELL . .

Under the leadership of William L. Ball, the new director of the Club, and operating as a separate choral group for the first time in several years, especial attention has been given to the improvement of membership quality and to voice training. Many weeks of intensive effort have gone into a thor- ough preparation for the annual Spring Holiday tour — this year to be taken through South Mississippi — which gives promise of being the most successful Club tour in the past few years.

U. in tying the student in more closely with the local Baptist church has been greatly accelerated and enhanced by the coming of Billy Ball to our campus. As the first official Student Secretary of Mississippi College, he has meant a great deal not only to the members of the Council but even more to the other fellows on the campus as just one of us. Billy Ball has exemplified the theme and the purpose of B. S. U. work this year That They Might Know Him, through his constant desire to give Christ to the boys. The steadying influence of the year ' s work has been the noonday prayer meeting, with programs designed to deepen the spiritual life. The Ministerial Association, the Baptist Training Union, the Sunday School have been most instrumental in making Christ real at Mississippi College. [ 132 ] BUSINESS CLUB JOHN DENNIS STRINGER . . .

The society attempts to present entertaining as well as informative programs, striving always to present accurate information as free as possible from prejudice and propa- ganda. In keeping with a well-rounded program of entertainment and instruc- tion, the society has not neglected the social side of the personality. From time to time the society has held social activities of various natures, including initiation ceremonies, parties, and the annual joint banquet with the Philoma- thean Society. A substantial increase in membership has featured the year ' s work, and more genuine interest has been shown in literary work this year than at any time during this student generation.

The Ministerial Association, meeting twice weekly, has as its objective the enhancement and the increasing of the spiritual life of the campus. This aim is being achieved through fellowship, through the sharing of personal experience in regular meetings, and through mission work spon- sored by the Association. The immediate goal of the Ministerial Association is that each ministe- rial student may become a better Choctaw through a more intimate relationship with each student on the campus. The ultimate aim is that in these regular meetings each minister may be- come a better preacher through the sharing of personal experiences, problems, and blessings.

The notable success of this organization during the present school session is in a large measure due to its president, R. F. Bass. Under his direc- tion, a high standard of educational programs has been maintained through the secur- ing of numerous speakers from among the best medics of the state. Trips have been made to important nearby medical centers. In a social way, the Club has set the pace for campus activities.

[ 146 ] FRESHMAN LETTER Dearest Darling, Here I am sitting in my lonely room, sur- rounded by a dresser, a lavoratory, two desks, and four upperclassmen; but all that I can think about is you. I say your name over and over again to myself because it is so sweet and so musical. If you were a nickelodian, I would play you all the time. I try to find words with which to express my feeling for you. I wish you were my shirt, ' cause then you would be close to me all the time. (I never change them anyway.) I never knew what true happiness was until I met you. I guess happiness is like a kiss, though; you have to share it to have it. I shall never forget that last night with you. Remember? That was the night we ran out of gas eight times! You really looked swell in that beautiful evening gown, and it was such a daring creation. You certainly showed a lot of backbone in choosing it. And that last goodbye kiss! I shall never forget that! That was the only time I was ever kissed and given a shower bath at the same time. And, darling, that other girl really doesn ' t mean a thing to me. Everything is wrong with her. Why, honey, she is so cross-eyed that, when she cries, the tears run down the back of her neck. And she is so skinny that, when she drinks red soda pop, she registers like a thermometer. Sweetheart, her teeth are so wide apart that, when she smiles, they look like a picket fence. But let ' s forget her. I have. School isn ' t as bad as I thought it would be. W e have absolutely no hazing, but every once in a while all the freshmen have to go to a board meeting. The only trouble with this school is that they expect you to go to class. And, when I do go to class, all I do is dream of you. We had a history test the other day, and I put your name in three of the little blank spaces. I have put all of your pictures up but ten, and I haven ' t room for any more. Guess I will have to alternate them. On the back of one you wrote, To my darling Harry, with all my love. I wouldn t mind so much, except my name isn ' t Harry. A fortune teller once told me that a man would ruin my life, and I guess it has come true. Would you leave me for this gigolo after I gave you the best month of my life? Darling, please be true to me for you are the neck of my nectar, the staff of my life, the apple of my eye, the love of my life. Sweetheart, if you were to leave me, I would do something drastic. I might even kill myself. Darling, remember I shall love you forever and ever. Yours forever, PUDGY.

[ 148 ] SOPHOMORE LETTER Dear Pop, It’s Saturday night again, and as usual I’m broke. Would you take it up with the board of directors and see if something can ' t be done about it? After all, a fellow has to livel Perhaps we don ' t do things just exactly as you did in ' 06, Dad, but we do things in a pretty big way. We don ' t have to hire a buggy to go to Jackson, but we do get sore thumbs from over-exertion. And we always have to be on the watch for the Dean. He doesn ' t like to see us over there too often, and since he prac- tically lives in Burton ' s or the Paramount we can hardly go without being seen. Recently he caught two freshmen going without permis- sion. Well, they have been in Clinton for two weeks now without budging. But, such is life, especially if the Dean catches you. What I ' m building up to, Dad, is this. All this stuff that the Dean is writing you about me isn ' t as bad as it sounds. He seems to think that, if one is not a bookworm and does not make straight A ' s, he should not be here. Really, Dad, all I ' m doing is living up to the old maxim about making Jack a dull boy ... all work and no play . . . Honestly, I got to class three times this week and to Chapel once, so you know I ' m not doing so badly as the Dean tries to make out. After all, what is college for? Surely not to study all the time! And about those grades, Dad, I ' ve passed two subjects this year. What is Mom griping about anyway? Can ' t a fellow have any fun at all? Tell me frankly, Dad, did you study all the time when you were in old M.C. and take all the class honors? ... I thought not. We do have to have a little fun once in a while! And about being away from school too much, we can ' t stay here on this stuffy campus all the time, can we? Either the Dean thinks I ' m considering changing my residence, or he is considering it for me, I ' m not sure which. He has been acting a little funny lately. All I did was go to Mardi Gras, then to Ole Miss for our basketball game there, and then finish the week off in Memphis. We took them all in (or rather they took us in), and we were only gone three days and six nights. (I ' ve been trying my best to remember what happened to the other three days, but it all seems blank). We got back here Sunday night (pardon me, Monday morning). When I finally did get in bed, I stayed there for three days. So you see, that didn ' t leave but three days that I could go to class this week. When I did walk into class for the third straight day, Dr. Taylor almost fainted. Then he gave a test, but I didn ' t have a pencil. About half way through the test I must have moved too m uch for he asked me what was the matter. When I told him, he got someone to lend me a pencil, and then said, The foolish virgins weren ' t that lucky. A little later he got to talking about some dry subject, so I went to sleep. Then the dirty rat sneaked out and let me sleep through dinner. I certainly did feel funny when I did wake up.

He even said something about asking you to take me out of school if I did no better. I immedi- ately set him right on a few things. In the first place, I told him that you wouldn ' t take such an extreme attitude about such a little thing. Then I straightened him out about who it was that ran our household. We have a fellow feeling, don ' t we, Dad? We both are so misunderstood and persecuted! That ' s what I told him anyway. His tone changed immedi- ately, and he acted as if he were a little sorry for me. Then he said he would see if he could get a place in a State Institution for both of us. Does that mean he is going to ship me to Mississippi State and get you to go to school with me, Dad? Please see if you can get the wherewith” to me as soon as possible with as much of it as possible.

Everything sems to have lost its zip. Even Mardi Gras, the Cotton Carnival, and the Fair were stale this year. I know you won’t believe me when I tell you that I am now a confirmed avoider of the fair sex. They are all the same. From now on I ' ll have none of them. The professors? Oh, they belong in the same category too. For six weeks now I have tried to get one good crack out of our dear Bull Sumrall. What do I get? Pure, Grade C Ferdie, nothing more. I tell you it is no use. And Squeeky Cranfill still hasn ' t made up his mind whether he is in Kentucky or Mississippi. Shorty Thompson makes it quite plain that he is a strict pacifist. If I were as little as he ' s, I would be too. In locating the various gardeners in our not too fruitful soil of the intellect, I cannot leave Deacon Horner out. He is still in the corner and won ' t come out for love or money — well, not for money anyway. The faculty has let me down so much that I find them almost as boring as their subjects. Even the awful faces that Billy Ball makes at the Glee Club personnel fail to be interesting. (Surely the Glee Club isn ' t). Jackson is so dead now that you can hear for a whole block the noise caused by the fric- tion of a feather and the atmosphere that it is trying to penetrate as it falls from the hat of an unfortunate passer-by. Even the campus courses are growing stale. A motion to once again relieve the darkness that at present en- velopes our beloved campus at the disappear- ance of the Golden Orb in the western skies every evening was promptly dropped last week for lack of opposition. Just think, even the darkness isn ' t being utilized any more. Well, I ' ve got to go to bed now so that I can get up in the morning in order to go to bed tomorrow night so that I ' ll be all set to arise bright and late the next morning. Until I find a girl that is as cute as Virginia Gilmore and can sing like Deanne Durbin, and still love me, I remain, Dismally yours, WILLIAM. P. L.

I ' m afraid they haven ' t meant as much to me as they should have. However, one collegiate virtue (or vice) that has stuck with me is that of dreaming. It is so much easier than actually doing something useful. One dream has constantly recurred to my troubled mind in the last few months. I seemed to be standing on the steps of the chapel. The diploma in my hand told me that graduation exercises were just over. I turned to take one last look at the stately columns, then I stepped off — the ground seemed to melt away, and a terrible sensation of falling seemed to obsess my mind. I seemed to be falling through space. Then my head cleared enough for me to see that I was falling away from the earth, for now I could see its spherical form, mist-covered and foreboding. I saw great hordes of people, crushed under the tyranical heels of imperialistic dictatorships and huge industrialists. Spires of churches pierced the mist, churches that were mere shells which threatened at any moment to crumble, blotting out the masses of humanity in the streets below. I looked for something of love or justice or beauty or hope; but the fires of war, hatred, and greed covered every- thing. The mist grew more dense, my head began to swim, and again the sensation of falling gripped me. That dream came again and again; each time the mist was lighter, the light brighter, but this only showed more than ever the same awful characteristics of the age. But, each time it seemed that my perspective was better, that more of truth appeared before me. Finally, the climax came this afternoon while I lay watching for the last time from this window the sun lend its pink hue to the entire landscape as it sank beyond the distant horizon. The dream began as always, but the mist cleared more quickly and completely than ever before. The outstanding evils that had held my attention were still there, greater than ever; yet, through the lingering threads of mist, I noticed in the streets between the towering skyscrapers of hatred, cruelty, and bellicosity a great mass of people inflamed to the point of action by their gnawing hatred of this seem- ingly eternal war. Beyond the eternal failures of the period, I saw the figures of great men, working tirelessly and ever more successfully to give mankind the remedy for its social, eco- nomic, and spiritual ills. The mist was becom- ing thicker, but dimly I saw a great tabernacle filled with a people whose evangelical zeal had brought within its walls more worshippers of the true God than had ever before knelt in His Continued on page 155 INSURE YOUR EDUCATIONAL INVESTMENT WITH STANDARD PROTECTION- STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF THE SOUTH JACKSON MISSISSIPPI [ 154 J SENIOR LETTER Continued from page 154 presence. I strained for one more picture as my vision was almost at an end. The soothing white light of a moon revealed two misty figures blended into one — lovers. The mist had closed entirely now, and only the red glow of the destructive fires of war and hatred appeared in the dusk. Consciousness slowly returned, but none of the dizzy perplexity and doubt that had become customary re- mained. A thrill ran through my entire being as I realized that I had at last achieved a true perspective. Tomorrow, I shall stand on the chapel steps, as I did in the dream; I shall pause and allow my eyes to follow the stately columns to their magnificent top; then I shall turn to look upon the world as I have learned to do, seeing in its problems my task and my hope in the ideals that lie in the hearts of men. What more can a brave man ask? . . .

What a crew! ztlnis After more than twelve months of pseudo-labor, continual worry, and editorial self-pity, there remains now the distant likelihood that perhaps, after all, the thirty- fifth edition of the Tribesman will come from the presses. Perhaps it is vain to hope that this issue of campus miscellany will be a success; yet, this is the devout hope of the Editor and of the staff. An informal make-up, change of emphasis, improvement of content and appearance, picturization and portrayal of incidents close to the life and to the interest of the student have been the goals towards which our efforts have been directed. If our efforts along these lines have been at all realized, credit and appreciation is due to more than a score of persons. Material assistance has been rendered by almost every member of the staff. Asso- ciate Editor William Carpenter is due an expression of genuine appreciation for his generous and willing aid with collections, photographic work, and all else of the various items which go to make up a yearbook. Staff member Hilton Carlisle is given heartfelt thanks and gratitude for his timely, life-saving, and effective work which allowed us to meet our advertising quota. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Editor Moss and to Business Manager Wise for valuable suggestions and constant co- operation in the completion of the Hillman section. Despite precedent, Literary Ed- itors John Shepard and John Watts have made large and important contributions in supplying the Senior and Undergraduate write-ups, letters, and sports copy. Too much justly cannot be said in deep and sincere admiration for the splendid craftsmanship evidenced by Miss Kathlyn Backus, of Louisville, Kentucky, in her ex- cellent grease drawings of the Sponsors. Appreciation also should be given to Mr. Emmuel Pulaski for his assistance on this section. The staffs of the Shreveport Engraving Company and of the Benson Printing Com- pany deserve high praise and commendation for their helpfulness and genuine interest. Miss Charlie Bridges merits especial recognition for her invaluable aid and advice in the formulation and the design of the 1941 Tribesman. Well-deserving of acclaim is Mr. E. W. Benson, who has been so largely responsible for the publication and for the final presentation of the book. Gratitude is expresed to Mr. Jimmy Haynesworth for the friendly first instructions in a beginning course of Annualology. The superlative degree only should be used in describing the type of work rendered by Photographer John Williams in the making of the pictures for the class and organ- ization sections. Expert technical advice, utmost cooperation, willing last-minute help featured the service of Mrs. Cole, of Cole ' s Studio. Credit for the greater portion of the fine photography in the football section must go to Mr. Gene Jackson, of the Jackson Daily Clarion-Ledger. Permission from Minicam Photography Magazine made possible the use of the central figure of the Senior monatage. A word of deep gratitude is thankfully extended to the student body at large for their interest and for their cooperation in all of the various det ails of the 1941 Tribes- man. It is to be hoped that their trust and confidence has not been entirely misplaced. Finally, lasting and consolatory appreciation is offered to that relatively large body of students who so graciously and willingly— when cornered— listened to the woes and to the laments of the Editor.
