CLARK ORMAN KNIGHT ELLIS GRIFFITH Editor Associate Editor Business Manager I MISSISSIPPI BAPTIST HISTORICAL COMMISSION NINETEEN FORTY - FIVE PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY « E MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. CLINTON, MISS. The Baptist Church, Clinton, Mississippi DREAMS Whd said that dreams 5 are the stuff of which life is made? Probably right. If so, we are the more optimistic. We visualize for M. C. a great expansions program, realized to the fullest: A new Administration Building, a Girls ' Dor- mitory of pretentious extensiveness, a half-dozen endowed departments, the finest of equipment, thousands of stu- dents — and maybe, homes for all the preacher boys and families. We see a time ahead when our school can be even greater in the service of our Christ, which service is our only rea- son for being. God lead us! Besides the endowed departments planned, two immediate objectives which claim our labors and prayers are the proposed Admin- istration Building and the Girls ' Dormitory. The Science Hall, now housing the adminis- trative offices of the college, is badly con- gested; and in view of an expanded student enrollment, more laboratory and classroom space would necessitate the college staff moving out into the streets unless accommo- dations be afforded. The Administration Building as planned would provide the much needed space and records rooms for the staff and faculty. And the girls ' quar- ters are going to be comfortable centers for courtable creatures. Boys, just you wait! DEDICATION Mississippi College is great, not simply out of a noble past, but also in this newly born present, because she is made up of an aggregation of great human souls. One of these of the finest is our Dr. Howard Spell, man of God truly, humble yet bold, scholar and master yet student, preacher of the Word and prince of a fellow, whose particular brand of modesty smacks of a well- disciplined life; and that — as a star supreme in the evening sky, whose twinkles are alternate dimmings and brightenings lest it appear arrogant or uncongenial to those of the lesser constella- tions. By you, sir, we honor these efforts of ours. MAN OF GOD I delight to do Thy will. O my God: yea. Thy law is within my heart. PSALM 40:8 Dr. Howard E. Spell 8 ALMA MATE IS Fairest of all is our dear Mississippi, Rising in state as the crest of the hill; Staunch as a rock is our Dear Alma Mater, ' Round her so noble our hopes ever live. When in the future, our hearts may be yearning For the bright scenes of our dear college youth, Back to thy portals our memories turning, Clear gleams thy beacons of virtue and truth. M. C., we hail thee, our dear Mississippi, Queen of our hearts, no foe shall alarm; Faithful and loyal thy children shall ever Cherish thy mem ' ry, acknowledge thy charm. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands — one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I pledge allegiance to the Chris- tian flag, and to the Savior for Whose Kingdom it stands — one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and love. WE REVERE 9 ■III. II. M. NELSON Personal Notes . . . Dr. Nelson is regarded by the entire student body as a Christian gentleman of the very highest order. His home just north of the Baptist Church has its doors opened at all times to student or neighbor who would come. His family are all loved by us who know them. Dr. Nelson loves the Lord ' s Church, is tops as a business man, neighbor, executive, citizen. Official Notes . . . Dr. Dotson McGinnis Nelson has been the faithful president of Mississippi College since 1932. Under his leadership the college has grown many fold in many directions. The finan- cial condition of the school has come from uncomfortable to excellent. Plans are being re- alized speedily, placing M. C. in line for first honors among colleges anywhere. We feel that we have God ' s man at the head of our school. PRESIDENT LIEUT. WATTS Personal Notes . . . Lieutenant Benjamin Chris- topher Watts has not only been an ideal officer before his men, but his congenial personality and prompt courtesy has been an example for emulation to all on the campus. He is a gentle- man and a scholar. Official Notes . . . Lieutenant Watts assumed command of the unit early in 1944 and has had under his supervision more than 500 fine young men taking training prerequisite to taking their com- missions in the navy. Disciplinary action has seldom been necessary, speaking highly for Mr. Watts ' ability to lead. Mississippi College has considered herself fortunate in having this fine commander on the campus. D. M.

STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Kenny Pepper, president; Billy Stogner, vice-president; Catherine Criegler, secretary; Jean Horn, treasurer. Though dealing with a war-time student body, the Student Government Associa- tion has carried on with typical efficiency. Our organization has sponsored the buy- ing of war bonds, the drives of the Red Cress, as well as drives of our school ' s Enlargement Program. It is our desire that our future student bodies will also put forth sincere efforts for the Enlarge- ment Program. One of our happy privi- leges this year was the resumption of awarding the varsity M to each man who earned it on the basketball court. In this student body organization students learn much about democracy, which will always be our way of life.

The two first-elected staffs made invalu- able contributions to the beginning of the yearbook, but the entire plan and execution of the plan was the result of fine cooperation on the part of the Edi- torial Staff. The procurement of pic- tures was nearly impossible. It was late in May before print paper could be secured for a large part of our pho- tographic work.

Their task was ac- complished with thoroughness many weeks before it was expe- dient. Ellis and his able assist- ants proved themselves unex- celled in the soliciting of adver- tising patrons. Shortly before the completion of the task of financ- ing the publication, Ellis was called to service in the Navy. Percy and Colbert finished the iob in a superb manner. Seated: Ellis Griffith, business manager; standing to his left and right respectively: Percy Magee and Colbert Dudley, assist- ants.

MISS HELEN ARMSTRONG l The year 1944 marked the beginning of many important events at M. C., and one of these was the revival of The Collegian, college news- paper, which has lain dormant for two years. Due to the interest and splendid cooperation of the students and faculty, an editorial staff was selected, plans and preparation were made for beginning publication, and the first issue rolled off the press in September. Like Mississippi College as a whole, The Collegian is looking forward to greater days. And be it hereby resolved: The Collegian shall never die!

The Ministerial Association endeavors to bind to- gether the hearts of all the Ministerial students as they prepare for the noble work to which they are called. The year ' 44- ' 45 has been successful in this respect as indicated by large numbers at- tending the meetings and participating in the opportunities for social and Christian fellowship. We shall not forget the hours we have prayed, sung, and mourned together; nor shall we lose from our memories the fervent debates in which we have engaged and to which the passing days add humorous coloring.

ASSOCIATION Some twenty-five, or more, years ago, the local W. M. S. began a program by which the wives of the ministers living in Clinton could receive valuable training in public speaking and other cultural benefits. This program grew into the M. W. A. of the present day. Today the wives of the min- isters meet once a week for devotion, inspiration, and social reasons, learning how to augment the services of their God- called husbands in any way and all ways. Problems and methods about leadership among the ladies of church life are studied. This organization is a vital part of the campus life, serving the school loyally and training women to be helpmeets to those circles about of God to evangelize. 71 i Behold, I do not give lectures or a little THE M.

Through thoughtful study of the message of the Bible and a comprehensive study of mod- em methods of missions, the students come to a fuller realization of the spiritual and physical needy, not only around about them, but throughout the world. Under the faithful lead- ership of Mrs. E. L. Douglas, counselor, the Y. W. A. has become a vital part of the activi- ties on the campus. Y. W. A.

The Band has visited several places in Clinton and in Jack- son, rendering programs. The young people who took part on these programs showed a deep in- terest in serving in this way. The president, Hollis McNeer, expresses his appreciation to the other officers for their splendid cooperation.

The International Relations Club has as its purpose to enlighten students on world affairs from an unbiased, unprejudiced point of view. The principal means of accomplishing this purpose is through the review of books, open discussions among the members, and through outside reading. There is no attempt to make an action group or to force an opin- ion. The I. R. C. is not only a source of knowledge of world aff airs, but social meetings are also included. i THE I. R. C.

The Philomathean Literary Society has been one of the important educational organiza- tions of the campus. The programs which the members of the society have presented have been instructive and interesting. It has been remarked that none of the clubs have received the interest that is usual for these splendid organizations, but it has not been because of the lack of leadership. May there be a rallying to the old-time fervor of debate and oratory as becomes genuine Philomatheans. ■i Melvin Jackson, vice-president; Etoie Hodges, secre- tary-treasurer; Jimmy Riley, sergeant-at-arms; Robert Touchstone, president.

The pro- grams which have been produced have en- lightened the members on some of the out- standing questions of comtemporary world conditions. The Hermenians, too, feel that there has been an ebbing of interest in the Society — possibly caused by the war just taking the spunk out of the heart.

One of the most democratic ideas in the school found expression among the boys occupying Jennings Hall. The purpose of most organiza- tions is regulation. It was expedient that some system be devised whereby a conflict of in- alienable rights might be avoided, especially the right to yell when the fellow next door had HOME the right to study for the quiz next day. Hence, the boys covenated together under a constitu- tional government to regulate and define their system of fellowship. Now, instead of being known as the Jennings Hall gang, they are known as the Alumni Hall bunch, for they have moved. fiiTi + mfim- 1 J - rm i |( First row: L. Green, B. Loyd, W. Barefoot, D.

The unit has supplied students for the school, finances that helped place the school out of debt, spirit that made for an unusual wartime college atmosphere, and personalities that have been uplifting to the community. Several of the young men have won the highest honors the college and community of Clinton bestowed. The offi- cers and the headquarters personnel deserve the highest praise for the high standard of young gentlemen they have commanded and served. ★ N A V Y 102 ROY EUGENE BOWEN Chief Specialist (A), USNR 4 The unit was fortunate in having the fine staff of EM to serve them while they were on the campus.

Too many have been the things we wanted to go into the making of this yearbook: things re- stricted or scarce because of the war. This is not the ideal book planned.

We are thankful for the supplies we were able to obtain and would have gladly relinquished our desire for any materials vital to our war effort.
