1946 TRIBESMAN PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT BODY OF MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI COLBERT DUDLEY, JR. • EDITOR PURVIS LUNA • BUSINESS MANAGER WE In sincere appreciation of her loyalty and service to Mississippi Col- lege we dedicate this Volume of the TRIBESMAN to Miss Ernestine Thomae and in a large sense to all of that group of teachers who have in the past so loyally maintained and added to those ideals and traditions of Christian education for minister and layman for the preservation of which this school was founded and has been main- tained, through years of adversity and prosperity, war and peace, for the greater glory of God and the Good of His peoples. iss homae HONOR 1 FOREWORD and Any of us who remember one moment a few months ago when we learned that the war was over, any man who remembers the Statue of Liberty or San Francisco Harbor as he left the States, and how they looked when he got back . . . knows that any com- ment on the past few months of our lives would be inadequate. So in the midst of a very talkative and preoccupied world, each of us might do well to pause sometimes and thank whatever God he worships that we still have a country; that the cities, houses, churches, and hospitals of our country are still standing, and not in shambles; that we still get enough to eat; that we can come to a school like M. C. We could thank God that most of our men and women came back, and we might send up a prayer of gratitude to those who will never come back. Yes, if an Ameri- can stopped to think, he might remember that war is not so good; and he could resolve to try a little harder never to have an- other one; and if an American ever felt the urge to pray, he could thank his God for taking pretty good care of him, and he could ask God to help him live a better and more grateful life. With this humble thought, we present the 1946 TRIBESMAN; and . . . with all its shortcomings ... we hope you like it. ■ 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. The history of Mississippi College has many a golden page. The light of the truth and virtue which she fosters and the tradition and ideals which she embraces has shown undimmed for over a century. Those of us to whom the torch has been thrown propose to hold it high that it may continue to shine in all its pristine glory into a darkened and needy world; and having done all, we propose to keep the faith. D. M. NELSON. President DR. D. M. NELSON DR. W. H. S D M R ALL My Creed for My Students: Man largely creates his own heaven or hell (here and now. and hereafter). He draws the blueprint and constructs the building which he would have for an ever- lasting habitation. Mark well the dimensions and carefully choose the materials which go into the dwelling place of your soul. Within this structure there should be three rooms which are occupied by Faith, Hope, and Love. Such a building trans- cends time and space and lives on and on through the miriad eons of eternity. W.

After a year that has seen renewed efforts in be- half of the Enlargement Campaign, the drawing-up and adoption of a new Constitu- tion, the abolition of freshmen rules and hazing, and many other notable advance- ments, the officers of the Student Body Government can well look back on their work with satisfaction.

Out of the past year the Philomathean Literary Society has gathered momentum and begun to forge ahead. As a pro- moter of oratory and debate among the students, its programs for the past year have touched practically every realm of literary expression. This is a deviation from the old practice of discussing mere- ly current events by the members. Al- most a hundred years of successful his- tory now brings a challenge to every member to give the rising society his mightiest support.

A great amount of interest and cooperation was shown by each individual member. The most outstanding things accomp- lished were the Radio Program and the begin- ning of the campaign to buy the Mission Bus. C. O. Lindsey, Mission Chairman, directed the work of and announced for the Radio Program. Brother Joe Haigler led the music. Directing the raising of funds for the Mission Bus was Glenn Sherrod, who carried this job to its completion after he was elected president of MA. With- out the help of these and many others who worked tirelessly little could have been done. 74 SAMMIE CRAWFORD Treasurer DICK SPAIN Song Leader OPPOSITE PAGE: First Row: Ball, H. Barefoot, W.

Out of these meetings grew the organiza- tion which we know at present as the Ministers ' Wives Association. Its pur- pose is to broaden the lives of these women spiritually, socially and intellectual- ly. To supplement programs put on by members of the Association, many ladies of the Clinton Baptist Church and the churches of Jackson have aided this year by giving special programs designed 76 M I N I S T E R S W I V E S First Row: Aimsworth, Ball, Bennet, Bob iff.

Through it the members of the B. S. U. executive council have charge of Sunday School and B. T. U. assemblies, the Y. W.

Its functions not only inspire the mem- bers with zeal for missions, but give them practi- cal experience in work at the Polio Clinic, the Jackson City and Hinds County jails, the Old Ladies’ Home, and various other places. Prayer and inspirational programs serve to keep and promote the truly Christian attitudes of the members. YOUNG WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION Vitally interested in the study of missions, home and foreign, throughout the world, the members of the Ann Haseltine Y. W. A. have studied, listened to speakers who emphasized the world ' s need, and prayed. As a means of reaching a greater number of girls and engaging more members in active participation, some important in- novations have been made in the circle organization. Now the circles are com- bined under a committee of general officers and meet monthly for a joint program as well as for social affairs.

BOYS ' CHORUS Always seeking a higher level through music, the members of the Boys Glee Club have gone out whole-heartily to make their organization one of the top- ranking on the campus. The Boys Glee Club has been wonderfully blessed with a number of accomplished solo voices and, since its organization in 1944, has proven its talent by many remarkable accomplishments. Prof. Elsey selected from this group several trios and quar- tets, and these ensembles were a great blessing to the many revivals in which they participated.

Out of this organi- zation have been formed several women s trios and quartets. These ensembles toured the state during the spring and did an outstanding work toward the advancement of the Enlargement Campaign. During the 1945 Baptist Convention the Girl ' s Glee Club, with the aid of the Boys Chorus, was invaluable as a morale booster to the college students and friends. All M. C. students can be proud that this campus organi- zation has come to be recognized as one of the few superior college choirs in the state. 85 C. J.

Be- sides presenting several successful con- certs, the band was outstanding for the spirit it gave at athletic meets. Partic- ularly notable were its performances dur- ing basketball season. Highlighting a successful year of work was a banquet given in honor of the band by Dr. Nelson and made possible by Director Elsey. Although the recreation- al side of band life has been considered most interesting, the more sober aspects speak for themselves. BAND t Hitting the campus with a bang of energy and enthusiasm, ex-army flier Vic Bruce lost no time in gathering to- gether a group of the best campus musicians who were interested in a swing orchestra. Strictly on its own the Mississippi College Blue Moods has become one of the best college swing orchestras anywhere. Although the Orchestra is made up primarily of ex-S.I ' s, it felt the need of a little feminine personality and broke an ancient tradition by adding to its group two co-eds. This group has worked hard since its organization and has given some splendid performances, among the best of which were those given for the M-Club Amateur Contest and the annual beauty contest and variety show. Solely a recreational organization, the Blue Moods finds its own reward in precious moments of relaxation afforded tired, struggling students . . . an oasis of pleasure in a desert of books.

CHEER- LEADERS JIM BOB JONES Head Cheerleader Head Cheerleader Riley resigned at the beginning of the basketball season, and Jim Bob Jones of Jackson took over. Under Jim Bob ' s firey leadership the slumbering Choctaw spirit roared back to life to equal even the wildest memories of post-war years. The rafters are still shaking from those war whoops that greeted Millsaps during basketball sea- son; and with an M. C. football team taking the field next fall backed by seven- hundred loyal students . . . just watch us! 88 I I With Coach Stanley L. Robinson back at Mississippi College for the first year since 1942 our school is looking forward to an even better athletic program than ever before. With the aid of his two able as- sistants, former Choctaw stars Wilson Fulton and James McLeod, Coach Rob- bie has since his return fielded a victori- ous track team, conducted spring training 89 L. SPORTS in football, and made a big start in formulating a postwar physical training program thorough enough to include every student on our campus. With this fine coaching staff and probably more top-notch athletic material than ever be- fore M. C. can well look forward to being once more a real power in all inter- collegiate sports next year. RIALS, Center PARKMAN, Forward MOODY, Forward I The ' 45- ' 46 edition of the Mississippi College basketball team had a very successful season, the record showing 17 wins and 6 losses. The team started practice sessions around the first of November with Prof. Strange coaching. Later in the season Coach Landrum returned and handled the men for a few games. He was then called back into the navy and Coach Fulton took over as regular basketball coach. Potentially the team was a great one. Handicapped by lack of height, it neverthless played some great games and won some mighty tough ones. We ' ll never forget those four- straight over Millsaps ... or that Northwest State game here . . . whatta scrap! The team made itself known for its fighting spirit . . . that old Choctaw something that made them most dangerous when the game was hot and close. Candy Rials at center could play ball whenever he got the urge; he was one of the two men on the team over six feet and was high score man for the season. Parkman at one forward was the scrappiest player on the floor, a fine all-around basketball player. Earl Moody at the other forward position was a wicked left-hander, always dan- gerous and most so under the basket. Puryear captain of the team, guard, and the only other man over six feet was . . . well he was the spark that made the team go. He was easily the best at getting the ball off the board and a wonderful team man. He really deserved the honor of captain. At the other guard was John Fridge, youngest player on the team and small for a guard; but he was in there playing every minute with all he had. A good de- fensive man with beautiful pass work, Fridge was always steadiest when the chips were down and he was needed LOFTON AND ORLANDER Managers an • • 91 I Wo,, BASKETBftLL i worst.

Two meets held with Southwestern of Memphis were won by the Chocs by a margin of about thirty points, and in a triangular meet with Southeastern Louisiana and Northwest State the Chocs placed second. The final score to that one was Northwest 70, M. C. 40, and Southeastern 19. The final victory was at Memphis. Here the track- 94 RELAY TEAM men won the Southwestern Relays, bring- ing home a beautiful trophy for the famous M Room. Standouts this sea- son were Albert Gore, dashman and cap- tain; Lamar Puryear, hurdles and broad and high jump; Saucier and Jones in the middle distances; Parkman and Cole in the distances; and Jones in the weights. The team under the tutelage of Coach Fulton worked hard, and they present the nucleus for a truly great team next year. TRACK 95 Mas+er of Ceremonies Joe Skinner This year the annual Amateur Show and Beauty Contest was presented jointly by the Tribesman, the Collegian, and the Orchestra. With a musi- cal background given by the Blue Moods and wonderful performances made by both campus talent and some outstanding guest stars, the show couldn ' t help being a huge success. The dazzling array of gorgeous coeds present to con- tend for the famed Leonard Holloway Beauty Locket presented the judges with a perplexing problem, but finally the decision was reached, and Professor Holloway himself presented the beautiful medal to Miss Narcissa Alexander.
