WHEN FRIENDSHIPS, PAR- TIES, CLASS OFFICERS, CLUBS, AND AN I IFINITE NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH CON- STITUTE MEMORY PASS IN REVIEW IN TH: COMING YEARS, THIS YEARBOOK WILL SERVE ITS PURPOSE IF IT BRINGS THE ENERGY CONSUMING TEMPO OF COLLEGE LIFE TO A STANDSTILL FOR THOSE MOMENTS. IT HAS BEEN THE PURPOSE OF THE STAFF TO RECORD THROUGH A COMPLE ( DESIGN THE ORIGINAL IDEAS OF THE STUDENTS. TO WELCOME THE WOMEN I JTO THE CHOCTAW TRIBE, AND TO GIVE ALL A PERMANENT RECORD OF A SIGNIFICANT ERA IN THEIR LIVES. the college the classes the athletics ORGANIZATIONS the features THE STAFF PROUDLY DEDICATES THE 1943 TRIBESMAN TO COACH STANLEY L. ROBINSON, WHOSE TIRELESS ENERGY HAS BEEN DEVOTED TO BUILDING WINNING ATHLETIC TEAMS FOR MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. NOT ONLY HAS HE PRODUCED MANY GREAT TEAMS, BUT HE HAS DEMANDED SPORTSMANSHIP AND HONESTY FROM HIS PLAYERS, THINGS WHICH AREN ' T DE- MANDED BY ALL COLLEGE COACHES. WHETHER ON THE GRID- r 6 ] IRON OR THE DIAMOND, COACH HAS INSPIRED HIS PLAYERS TO OVERCOME HEAVY ODDS TO CHANGE DISMAL DEFEAT INTO GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. ADMIRATION FOR HIM ISN ' T LIMITED TO ATHLETES, BUT ALL CHOCTAWS LOVE HIM AND THOSE WHO MEET HIS TEAMS DEVELOP A WHOLESOME RESPECT FOR HIS ABILITY. IF THERE IS ANY ONE PERSON WHO SYMBOLIZES THE CHOCTAW SPIRIT, IT IS COACH ROBBIE, AND THUS, FOR HIS LIFE, HIS EFFORTS, AND HIS TEAMS WE PAY THIS TANGIBLE TRIBUTE TO COACH ROBBIE. D. M. NELSON, P H . D LL.D. • Realistically facing the exegencies of a changing world, Dr. Nelson has thoughtfully guided Mississipi College into a new pro- gram by choosing the best from a conflicting social order and incorporating those things into our school system. Quiet dignity and Christian consideration describe his attitude toward the inevitable administrative problems which have arisen during this period of transition from an all men’s school to a co- educational institution. Missisippi College will continue to be what it has been in the past as long as it has leadership of this calibre. W. H. SUMRALL, Ph.D. C 0 L L E G Handicapped by innumerable difficulties as well as added work because of loss of pro- fessors, student unrest due to the uncertainties confronting them in war time, and a new co- educational system, the faculty has rendered an outstanding performance this year.

BOGGAN Outstanding Fellow To decrease the load on the faculty has been many departmental fellows who have done a magnificent task this year. In the absence of some of the professors, they have continued to instruct the courses to completion.

Here are most of the stu- dents who have won recognition in Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Also, among the ones represented here is nearly every club president and student leader. Because of the outstanding work done by several of the fellows the Tribesman sponsored an election among the fellows to find who, in the opinion of these, was the most outstanding. Willard H. Boggan, fellow in Biology, was selected for his brilliant work in Zoology in the absence of Dr. W. O. Sadler. He took over when Dr. Sadler left and lectured and instructed the lab.

Adjusting the Honor System to fit the needs of both men’s and women’s campuses, taking charge of the successful Blue Mountain Endowment Campaign, revising the Constitution, officially awarding letters, holding regular and special elections have been some of the activities of the official governing organ of Mississippi College. This set-up in the school has been im- portant for many reasons, the chief of which is training in democracy.

Robinson, Di- rector of Physical Education and Coach. conns Again demonstrating their superior abil- ity in turning out winning athletic teams from limited material, Coaches Stanley Robinson and Melvin Landrum have con- tinued to promote the traditional success of the Choctaw Warriors. They have com- manded the power behind the scenes in a passing era characterized by glorious ex- ploits by Mississippi College representa- tives on the gridiron, court, cinder path, and diamond. After concluding their ac- tivities for this session, which saw the in- auguration of a vigorous and greatly in- tensified physical education program in ad- dition to the shaping of the final editions of Choctaw athletic competition in inter- collegiate circles for the duration, the two coaches have enlisted in the cause of vic- tory in the current world conflict. Coach Landrum joined the Navy as an Ensign March 15, while Coach Robinson termin- ated a highly successful 20-year period as the master mentor of the Blue and Gold pigskin and horeshide triumphs by offer- ing his valuable services to the Red Cross early in April. [ 58 ] 1 N 0 Cl II I, E IDE 1 8 Their task being the keeping of the Choctaw Spirit at its highest peak, the cheerleaders showed spirited initiative throughout the year. With only one major sport, and it curtailed, the group found their task even greater. But under the leadership of Head Cheerleader Potsey” Moseley, and with the assistance of Sam Green and Kenny Pepper, the student at- tendance at all events was kept at a maxi- mum. They were at all times assisting the coaches in the assembly of the student body in a group to keep the Choctaw Spirit high. They cooperated with the Tribesman staff in promoting the Freshman Day with its final pep rally and election of Mr. and Miss Freshman. At all athletic events they led the students in staunch support of the team and under their leadership the sup- port was kept on a sportsmanship basis. Credit is due them for their assembling ; more students in Millsaps gymnasium for a basketball game than there were present from Millsaps. Credit is due them for engineering a traditional parade up Capitol Street. Their work has been invaluable to the coaches and the student body.

[593 Tense moment in game with the Memphis Naval Maintenance. n n i e in n Coach Melvin Landrum found himself with an un- dermanned and inexperienced club with which to en- ter the ’42-’43 basketball season. However, molding the material skillfully, he managed to field a team which captured the Army-Collegiate League crown, a circle which proved to be surprisingly tough. The highlights of the season were the traditional grudge fights with Millsaps, to whom the Tribe lost a three- to-one margin in the four-game series, the three Celtic encounters, and the final dash for the wire when the Chocs won three straight to gain a narrow lead for the loop championship. The club was sparked by Captain Charlie Tom Jones, who piled up an impressive total of 262 points for the season, representing a ten-point average. He was trailed by poker-faced Jimmie Price with 196 and Hilly Skelton, who poured in 170 markers from his forward post opposite Jones. Big Hilly Lindsley, de- spite missing the greater part of the season, was an outstanding floor man and defense stalwart. Other men who were valuable in the court machine were Jim Hurt, Ted Farrell, Kyle Yates, and Luther White, guards; and John Walker, Tommy Gunn, and Clark McMurray, forwards. Freshmen who labored valiantly in making the Indian front line as effective as it was were Atley Kitchings, John Wright Goodrich, Reuben Anderson, Ralph Young, and Billy Rogers. Clark McMurray led the way as the Tribe blasted the Jackson Air Base, 56-34, in the opener, closely fol- lowed by a 41-36 verdict over Hinds Junior College. The club then fell before two visiting service squads, as the powerful Memphis Naval Maintenance quint won, 41-32, and the Key Field Bombers added the V First Row: Jones, forward, Captain; Walker, forward; White, guard; Skelton, Forward; Farrell, guard. Second Row: Price, forward; McMurray, forward; Lindsley, guard; Hurt, guard; Gunn, forward. a t Tribe to their long list of vanquished, 61-50. In the Key Field clash, Jones set the season’s individual scor- ing record with 26 markers. The Chocs then polished off the Mississippi Ordnance Plant five with a pair of decisive wins. The Choctaws took the first game of the series from the Majors with a hair-raising 43-42 victory. Despite a wholesale exodus from the reservation on the fol- lowing evening, a grandiloquent march up Capitol Street, and a cheering section easily doubling the host Millsaps student body, the Indians were sadly thrashed, 69-36. The club snapped out of it, however, to turn back the Air Base, 46-42, before losing to the Ord- nance five, 39-35 and to Hinds, 64-50. Momentarily regaining their winning ways, the Chocs repelled the Eagles in a return game, 43-39. The Tribe then struck its roughest streak of the season in dropping six straight. The Air Base tri- umphed, 34-33, and the M. O. P. gained a 30-25 de- cision. The Celtics came to town to win successive victories in Jackson, Vicksburg, and McComb. The “Mops” cashed in again with an exciting 38-36 es- cape, nullifying 19 points deposited by Skelton. The weak Mississippi State Guard five called a halt to the slump as the Tribesmen went to work for 51-29 and 44-23 wins. Bill Lindsley’s 14 points were a big factor in putting the Redskins over the troublesome Air Base quintet, 43-42, thus reversing a one-point victory achieved by the flyers in a previous encounter. “Lightning” Lowther’s phenomenal pivot shots were the deciding factor in putting the Majors ahead in the third Major clash, 55-52, while the final game was largely a repeat of the second as Buddy Carr and com- pany snowed the Tribe under, 53-31. Jimmie Hurt topped the Chocs scoring in the first game with 14 points, while Jones’ 13 was high for the finals, though Carr’s 31 points were easily outstanding for the Mil- itants. With Millsaps disqualified for league competition, the Choctaws got back into the chase and upset the Mops, 47-44, in a crucial game to take the lead. The Blue and Gold club then iced the championship by licking Hinds, 38-33, and write finis to the season.

The team showed surprising strength, though, by thrashing all four opponents. Lanky Ted Farrell, Sophomore middle distance con- tender, proved to be the Big Bertha for the Chocs in chalking up points, winding up the season with a lusty total of 35 points. Brushing off all comers in the 880, the versatile Farrell also terrorized the opposition in the high jump, javelin, and shot put. Big Carl Capehart, chief weights man for the Warriors, mailed up 26 markers, while Maurice “Greasy” Herring, dis- tance runner, and T. W. Talkington, fleet-footed sprint and jump man, followed with 25 and 24 points, re- spectively. Other leaders were “Elt” Thomas, pole- vaulter, and Jim Hurt, slender high hurdler. Weedy Spence, all-around star of the ’41 season, helped put the Tribe ahead in their first two meets with winning performances, before dropping from competition. Holmes Junior College track men invaded the cam- pus April 4 for the first meet, which resulted in a Tribal conquest, 68-66. Ted Farrell led the Tribes- men with a first in the 880 and a tie for the top hon- ors in the high jump. Capehart’s performance in the discus and javelin was good for 8 points, while Fulton copped a first and a third. Others who nabbed first places were A. L. Busby, Jim Hurt, Thomas, and Oscar Cole. Southwestern gave the Choctaws a close call April 18 when the Lynx dropped a 62-55 decision. Farrell carried the major portion of the burden in grabbing 11 points, including another win in the 880. Spence collected 10 points, while Talkington finished with 8. Elton Thomas, with a mark of 1 1 feet, 9 inches, topped the polevaulters, while Cole in the two-mile, Hurt in the high hurdles, and Capehart in the discus, repeated. Herring won his spurs as a varsity cinderman through his triumph in the mile run. Copiah-Lincoln Junior College became the next vic- tim of the Redskins who tucked their third victory below’ the belt. Spence and Farrell, each with two firsts, collaborated to insure the 70-47 walkaway. Spence sped a 10.1 century, while Capehart turned loose his best discus heave of the season, 131 feet. Far- rell also hung up his prize performance, stepping off the 880 in 2:07. Prevost topped the field in the high jump, and Herring and Cole accounted for the dis- tances.

Second Row: Cole, Walker, Thomas, Alexander, Underhill, Talkington, Magee. Third Row: Crawley, Hurt, Capehart, Farrell, Busby, Prevost. Cl t u� ana, for a clash with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, the Tribesmen wound up their schedule without a blem- ish as the Techmen fell, 70-56. Hubert Prevost, high point man for the Indians, pulled down three seconds, notably his six-foot leap in the high jump, only to be eclipsed by the Bulldog ace, Cunningham. T. W. Talk- ington, who had replaced the hot-footed Spence as the number one sprinter, came second with eight points, while Herring and Thomas bagged six each. Farrell hung up his fourth straight victory in the 880, and Hurt broke the tape for his second high hurdles win. Elton Thomas completed the select circle of Tribes- men by taking the cake in the pole vault. Other point- gatherers were Harold Clower and Percy Magee with four points, and Luther White and Owen Crawley with three. Conner and Armstrong, Managers.

Intramurals at Mississippi College took on added color this year as base- ball and football were outlawed last spring by action taken through the Board of Trustees. Coach Stanley Robinson succeeded in launching a vigorous and effective physical educa- tion schedule which included such sports as touch football, tackle foot- ball, tennis, golf, softball, swimming, volley ball, and the new obstacle course which was opened this spring. The session was featured by the grudge battles on the gridiron be- tween the Blues and the Golds, an event which was staged as a part of weekly competition days.” On each occasion, the physical education classes were divided into two squads who competed against each other for laurels in the various sports.

Editor Hubert Prevost and his staff were confronted with innumerable difficulties before the 1943 Tribesman went to press. Cheerfully taking setbacks which emerged because of the National Emergency, the Tribesman staff worked hard t o present the book earlier than it had been in recent years. Business Manager Billy Ledbetter did a titian’s job for the short time he was in school so that when he answered the country’s call, it was possible for his assistant, Willard Bog- gan, to successfully direct the business. Assistant Editor Smith performed a man-sized job in assembling data and writing copy. Sara Cobb’s faithful work as typist kept the general efficiency of the organization at a high peak. Mar- guerite Moore, Elton Thomas, Carroll Izard, and Floyd Horne rendered valuable assistance to the successful comple- tion of the yearbook. Elizabeth Coleman was invaluable in procuring ads along with Sara Cobb. The chief aim of this corps of workers was to present to the student body the real life of the campus. Special care was taken with design, pho- tography, and writing, so the yearbook might serve as an accurate record for the events which make up a school year filled with hopes and fears which are worth remembering.

In honor of this man whose life was spent for others either at the bedside of the unfortunate or in tireless pursuit of the wisdom of advancing scientific frontiers, the pre-medical students of Mississippi College named their club.

Following the Philomath- ean tradition to be a friend of knowledge, the society, individually and col- lectively, has sanely thrashed out problems in an insane world. With sub- lime faith in a future builded on undying principles, the Philomatheans have consistently sounded optimistic notes as they looked ahead. This world of today has given the necessary impetus to thoughts which the Philo- matheans hope will be the basis of peace for the world of tomorrow. II I 1 Officers Othell Hand Charles Jolly Cecil Jones .... Charles Whitten President . . Vice-President . . Secretary Treasurer Resounding the world-famous phrase, Christ or Chaos,” the Mississippi College Ministerial students have come to grip with some of the world’s most formidable problems. Recognizing that these are the times that try men’s souls” and realizing that Christianity gave men something more than a religious formula, the Association has endeavored to be intellectually honest and realistic in its approach to human needs. With the admoni- tion from the New Testament to condescend to men of low estate” as the chief principal of ministerial ethics, the effort has been made to present a lively, progressive religion to Mississippi College. Believing that practice should come before piety, these young men have sought to understand and meet the needs of all people they should meet. IS SO U I I 1 c o q c r: o . o.

BAPTIST STIIDEN rr UN The Baptist Student Union has continued with new emphasis this year the religious activities on the campus that create the atmosphere of a Chris- tian college. A Woman’s Religious Council was selected to assume responsi- bility for all of the religious activities and to coordinate with the Men’s Religious Council to form the Mississippi College B. S. U. Council. This year the B. S. U. installed portable equipment in the basement of the church as the ground work for a Baptist Student Center. Students have found that genuine Christian fellowship and sportsmanship are the by- products of this movement. Left to Right, First Row: Burris, Byrd, Chappell, Cole, Crawford, Furr, Hand.

In- itiations held periodically admit men who meet this requirement. Boys probably work harder for membership in this club than for any other on the campus. The M Club boasts of a versatile membership as well as men who are active only in sports. In spite of unsettled transportation facilities, the athletes of Mississippi College have made a praiseworthy record, which has been an important factor in maintaining the Choctaw Spirit during the war crisis.

Formal evening concerts were given during the year and other ap- pearances at various intervals. A great deal of a capella sacred music was used, yet secular works were also included in the repertoire.

Anyone who can play an orchestral instrument is eligi- ble for membership. Symphonic works, including compositions from the pens of classic composers, as well as many modern masterpieces, were used. Chapel ap- pearances were made by the group during the year, and formal evening concerts were presented with the Choral Union. With a worthy record already established, the Little Symphony anticipates a future of usefulness and cultural advantage for Mississippi College.

II siiiimm Under the direction of Maestro Brock the Southerners have developed into one of the most popular organizations on the College campus. Stu- dents who have demonstrated their ability to play popular music and will- ingness to work were accepted for membership. Besides participating in many of the programs on the campus, the group furnished music and entertainment for most of the social functions through- out the year. Featuring the hot trumpet of David Estes, the Southerners have rendered many evenings of good entertainment on the campus. Osee Fagan, piano; Ada Jane Rhoden, soloist; F. L.

II t The admission of coeds to Mississippi College demanded an organiza- tion for the regulation and promotion of a program for these new students. This important function was taken over by the Woman’s Honor Council in cooperation with the Dean of Women. The Council had many specific duties to perform, the summation of which meant a more harmonious co- operation between students and faculty. A milestone of progress for the school was instituted by the efficient work of this organization. By adopt- ing the motto of Truth and Virtue,” the coeds have added a deeper and more beautiful meaning to college life.

Equal oppor- tunity to make his mark is one of the many American principles our country will ever fight to protect. American fathers have shown their sons that — in our country — individual initiative has brought success time and time again. Throughout our country’s history, the thousands of great Americans, who, by their own efforts, raised themselves high in America ' s state, professional and business life repeatedly illustrate this truth. In America— as nowhere else— every boy, rich or poor, has that cherished privilege of making his life worth while in the field of endeavor he chooses!

The Tribesman has gone to press. The editors, worn and wearied, welcome the rest that the end will bring — an end which seemed never to arrive — for we can now relax completely. Now, as we have our tasks completed, we look back over the months in which we labored and reminisced over a work that has been far from distasteful. In fact, we have enjoyed accepting student ideas and sorting them until they have finally fallen into a form that is The 1943 Tribesman. Our associations have been pleasant, and we are indeed grateful for the cooperation of all with the editors in accumulating data and in photography so necessary for the production of a yearbook. There are many that credit recognition but space will not permit. We pause to recognize those that are by far the most outstanding contributors to our success. W. A. Benson, assisted by Dan Eadie, planned the yearbook last summer and co- operated throughout the year when changes were necessary. Ed Benson has assisted materially in the building of the finished products. R. B. Faerber of the Alabama Engraving Company handled the photographic copy and designed the dedication and athletic section to complete satisfaction. Hiatt Photo Service did an excellent task of portrait and informal photography. Elizabeth Coleman performed a commendable service as Advertising Solicitor. Elton Thomas and Marguerite Moore accumulated most of the data for the Senior section. Credit goes to John Dear for his able instructions to the editor as to photog- raphy. Joe Roberts was materially important in captioning snapshots. Floyd Horne assembled most of the data for the athletic reviews before graduating the third term. His ever-ready flow of bull made our editorial meetings enjoyable ones. Billy Skelton came to our rescue, upon Floyd’s graduation, with an excellent account of intramural and intercollegiate sports. Willard Boggan directed the sale of advertising until en- trance in medical school in January. Most outstanding was Billy Ledbetter’s work as Business Manager before being drafted into the Army. Much of the success of the book is due to his careful planning. Benny Smith could rightly be called co-editor. His has been the gigantic task of organization editor, rewrite editor, and aid in proof read- ing. His carefully selected phrasings have made the prose easily readable. To Sara Cobb goes much credit for the accuracy of the entire book. Her careful check on gram- mar and wording aided the editors in their copy assembly. With her knowledge of the working of the annual and her complete efficiency, she has contributed much to the perfecting of The Tribesman. Top honors for the year go to Dr. E. Bruce Thompson for his capable assistance with the snapshots and other informal photog- raphy. He labored many long hours to make the prints for the snapshot section. He gave valuable suggestions and sound advice to your editor. 1 he credit for good pic- tures in the snapshot section goes to Dr. Thompson and to Mrs. Thompson, who, when we were very tired after hours of work in the darkroom, came to our rescue with appetizing refreshments. Our heartiest thanks to them both. Our aims were not completely fulfilled. We promised the book by February 1, 1943, but did not deliver, for which we are sorry. Many technical difficulties due to scarcity of photographic materials made this delivery impossible. Now that you have the book, our sincere wish is that you are pleased. We have enjoyed editing The 1943 Tribesman, but our joy will be complete if you like our work. [ 134 ] COMB WHAT MAY .
