ES TOLBERT • EDITOR CHARLES RAY • BUSINESS MANAGER We PauJe tc Wcncr . . . M. P. L. BERRY Probably no one is more loyal to Mississippi College than Mr. M. P. L. Berry, whose official position is Assistant to the President , but who can always be seen doing something that will make student life more pleasant, whether it is part of his work or not. Mr. Berry graduated from Mississippi College in 1903 and later became President and owner of Hillman College in 1923. Through the years he guided Hillman well until that school was incorporated into Mis- sissippi College in 1942 by action of the Mississippi Baptist Convention. From that time on, Mr. Berry has faithfully served his Alma Mater in a quiet, un- assuming manner, never wanting any glory for the innumerable tasks he per- forms every day. It is in sincere appreciation that we honor Mr. Berry in this, the forty-second volume of the TRIBESMAN. ft, 3 Ml IN M E M 0 R I A M T. M. HEDERMAN Mississippi College has lost a devoted friend in the passing of Colonel T. M. Hederman. who served our college faithfully for many years on the Board of Trustees. From 1938 until his death on February 25. 1948, he served as president of the Board. His work as editor of the CLARION- LEDGER did not prevent his taking an active part in the promotion of the enlargement campaign or a greater Mississippi College. In acknowledgement of his services to our Alma Mater, the college conferred the honorary Doctor of Laws on him in 1946 and recently named one of the new girls ' dormitories for him. The words of the Apostle Paul. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. appropriately describe Colonel Hederman. who was ever fighting for the right and striving for the best. PRESIDENT D. M. NEISON With the largest faculty and enrollment on record, Mississippi College has shown marked advancement under the leadership of Dr. Nelson. Modest and soft-spoken, but progressive and iron-willed, he has served Mississippi College well as president for sixteen years. ADMINISTRATION First Row: DEAN HOWARD E. SPELL.

The Administration is to be commended for its handling of the largest number of students in the history of the college with a minimum of confusion. • DR. G. F.

Second Row: STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICERS HERSCHEL SAUCIER President EVERETT COLE Vice-president ELLIS GRIFFITH Attorney PEGGY BERRY Secretary-Treasurer Student government plus student-faculty cooperation form the primary objectives of the self-governed student body of Mississippi College. The Student Body Government has as its purpose the maintaining of the strength of the college and at the same time the allow- ing of free voice to each member of the student body in promoting legislation for the student good as well as the good of the school. The officers of the student body, elected by the students themselves, form the core of the Executive Council which handles all matters proposed by students and makes recommendations to the student body. President Herschel Saucier efficiently led the 1948 student government through a year of outstanding success in everything under- taken as a result of the cooperation of the student body. STUDENT GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Seated: Herschel Saucier, Everett Cole, Peggy Berry, Ellis Griffith. Standing: James Merritt, Charles Ray, Pete Evans, Roland Wilson, James Wilson, Wayne Coleman. W.S.G. COUNCIL: Seated: Frances Cheatham, Faye Myers, Gwendolyn Compere, Mrs. E. N.

Jewell Cole, leading the Women ' s Student Government through its third year at Mis- sissippi College, has been exceedingly suc- cessful in carrying out, with the help of Mrs. Elsey, Dean of Women, and the Women ' s Student Government Council, an efficient system of self-government of all girl dorm- itory students. The Chrestman Hall Government, with Pete Evans as Mayor, was set up by the men of that hall with the help of Mrs. Mont- gomery, hostess, to make their dormitory a better place in which to live. It is not actually a governing body but is set up in an effort to make life in Chrestman Hall more pleas- ant.

CHARLES TOLBERT Editor-in-Chief THE 1948 TRIBESMAN Displaying both patience and versatility, the Big Chief worked faithfully with the 1948 Tribesman Staff, an odd collection of in- experience and ineptitude. This senseless group, with the exception of our editor-in- chief, managed to become so befuddled that nothing was accomplished the first semester but volumes of misinformation and unde- sirable facts. By second semester those of us who didn ' t flunk out were rapidly becom- ing experts on such confusing matters as photography, engraving and printing. In- Shirley Sullivan, Mar y Ethel Griffin, Dot Dorris, Bobbie Haynie, Frank Hart Smith, Gloria Haynie, Sylvia Holt, Martha Brown, Miriam Adams, Beverly Ferrell. ( Peggy Berry, Porter Puryear, Jean Marie Patterson, Mary Ethel Griffin. deed, by the time we went to press, the re- maining handful of faithfuls had emerged as veritable geniuses. They show promise of being more influential than the steam en- gine in shaping the future of the world. Charles (there won ' t be a third term) Tolbert had the honor (?) of the only two time editor in the history of M.C. Charles Ray managed the business; Peggy Berry, who was assis- tant editor, took full advantage of this op- portunity to cut classes and clog up the wheels of progress. Other obstructions on the road to completion were such outstand- ing personalities as Beverly Ferrell, Miriam Adams, Martha Brown, Sylvia Holt, Gloria Haynie, Frank Hart Smith, Bobbie Haynie, Dot Dorris, Mary Ethel Griffin, Shirley Sul- livan, Jean Marie Patterson, Betty Jean Rob- inson, Mary Lee Wood, Doris Irving, Janie Williams, and Kenneth Fairly. Porter Pur- year managed to edit the athletic section after hours (after hours with the women). Our able photographer, Robert Wall, was Robert Wall, Betty Jean Robinson, Janie Williams, Kenneth Fairly. constantly in hot water while trying to make pictures and keep Mary Ethel happy at the same time. Yep, it was a lot of work, but it was fun! CHARLES RAY Business Manager JIMMIE MITCHELL Editor The ARROWHEAD is now a student magazine. This year brought about the incorporation of the Arrowhead into the stu- dent body and under the student body fee. The aim and policy of the ARROWHEAD is centered toward the students with a spot- light on the M.C. campus and student life. This has made the magazine an integral part of the campus with a greater respon- sibility toward the students.

FRAIZER SETS RATLIFF STRAIGHT AUTHORITIES ON LOVE v — JOB k COACH STANLEY L. ROBINSON Coach Stanley Robinson, M.C. ' s head coach and athletic director, has carried out splendidly the responsible task of bringing sports back to their rightful place on the Choctaw campus. He has been ably assisted by Melvin Landrum, Physical Education director; Lefty Fulton, assistant football coach, basketball coach, and track coach; THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT James McLeod, assistant football coach, B team basketball coach, and baseball coach; and Doc Whatley, football trainer. In the second football season since the war the Choctaws came through victorious in six of their eight battles. With a hundred candi- dates out for fall practice plus twelve letter men back, the football experts predicted that the Mississippi College eleven would come out on top. Behind all their success was the guiding genius of Coach Robbie who care- fully selected his players, trained them, and instilled in them the principles of Christian Sportsmanship that typifies M.C.

The hopefuls for the track team were being signed up and Coach McLeod was talking up a championship baseball team for 1948 . Throughout the year at every athletic event, the warriors were backed in their onslaughts against the enemies by the cheering support of the M.C. student body. The heap-big noise makers were Rabbi Olander, head cheerleader, Janie Williams, Roy Brigance, Jerry Benton, Eleanor Green, and Benny Moore. This sixome deserve the whole credit for the students ' support of the fighting Chactaws whether it was at a cold, rainy football game, rising at daybreak to see the team off, or in the time-outs at the basketball games. Disregarding the scoreboard read- ings, they fought with the teams in maintain- ing a high degree of morale in both victory and defeat. The Cheerleaders whooped up the spirit at the Rally before the Millsaps game. p ■ FOOTBALl HIGHLIGHTS MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 18; ALABAMA TEACHERS, 0 The Choctaws opened their first game of the 1947 sea- son by taking the scalps of the Livingston Alabama Teachers by a score of 18 to 0. Passing by John Jennings and Bryant Smith and the running of Sugar Green, Howard, Hollingsworth, and Smith finally downed the scrappy visitors who kept plug- ging away until the final whistle. The hard fighting Indians fought through most of the first quarter before a pass from Jennings to Fulton placed the ball in scoring position on the four yard line. A plunge by Green put the Chocs ahead 6 to 0. It was not until the Top to bottom: Captain Jack Bryan. Back; loo Brigance, Center; Tillman Britt, Back; Bobby Bryan, Guard.

Sugar ' ' Green plucked a Pilkington (Alabama ' s outstanding back) pass out of the air on the 25 yard line, lateraled to Holingsworth who ran to the 12 yard line. Hollingsworth and Jennings moved the ball to the four yard line and Green went over again. As soon as the fourth quarter began, the determined Choc- taws took the ball on their own 27 yard line and drove down the field for a touchdown. With Smith in the driver ' s seat, the Chocs reeled off three first downs to the nine yard line with Lee and Smith running and Smith passing. Smith plunged over from the three yard line for the third and final score of the game.

K MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 47; UNIVERSITY OF MEXICO, 13 Following their first victory, the Choctaws met our Latin neighbors, the University of Mexico, in Jackson ' s Tiger Stadium before a capacity crowd of 8,000 football fans. Mis- sissippi College proved too much for the spirited, hard-fighting Mexico team and de- feated them with a score of 47 to 13. Within one minute after the kickoff Eduardo Herrerro broke through the Choc- taws tackle and traveled 55 yards for the first score. The Indians ' war whoop was quieted down but not for long, for Dunbar Lee and John Jennings took over. Using those tricky plays that work so well from the Choctaw ' s double wingback formation, Lee soon went over for a touchdown.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 25; CENTRE, 12 Riding on the crest of their first two vic- tories of the season, the Choctaws met a hard-fighting Centre College team on Provine Field. With a steady war cry and accepting every break the game offered, the Chocs repelled a steamroller offensive to crush the Centre Colonels 25 to 12. The sweet running of Sugar Green and Clyde Howard paid off in huge dividends for the Chocs plus some devastating defensive demolition by Brigance, Harrison, Merritt, and Wells. Simmons and others did most of the tackling in the first half, helping to hold the Colonels back. The Chocs leaped on the Centre fumble on the kickoff to march 19 yards for the first score. Centre retaliated with a touchdown early in the second period when Cline snag- ged Bryant Smith ' s pass on the 15 and gal- loped downfield for six points. The Chocs made their second touchdown on a 42 yard drive, with Krout wrapping his paws around a pass from Jennings for the score. In the last period the Chocs scored twice on an eleven yard sprint by Hollingsworth and a six yard end run by Muse. Centre scored late in the last quarter when Coach Robbie and Hardin watching the game at a tense moment. Top to bottom: Rayford McPhearson, End; Woodrow Marsh, Guard; Lawrence Matulich.

The final gun sounded soon after that and brought everything to an end but the shoutin ' which could be heard long afterwards on the Clinton reservation. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 0; SEWANEE, 14 Sewanee gave the Choctaws their first upset of the sea- son with a 14 to 0 victory in a game played in a sea of mud after a torrential downpour came in the second period. Mississippi College made four first downs to eight for the Tigers, and the most serious threat of the Chocs was a penetration to the Sewanee 36 on the last play of the first half. In the second half, fumbles, splashings, and slips were quite prevalent, but Sewanee succeeded in scoring their second touchdown. Flowers of Sewanee slashed through the Choc defenses for a long gain, setting the ball up on the Chocs five yard line. L The Choctaws, who never quit fight- ing, held Sewanee for four downs on the one yard line. Jennings punted but it was blocked and Rosser covered for Sewanee. The beaten Choctaws fought a good game in spite of the cold rain and mud that held them back. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 0; MILLSAPS, 7 Even though the Chocs suffered a de- feat at the hands of Sewanee, they went to meet the Majors at Tiger Stadium with confidence that M.C. would bring home the Major scalp again. But the joy all left the Indian Camp and the Choctaws returned to their teepees in sadness after the big- gest upset of the season. The Blue and Gold lost to the Majors for the first time in eleven years but they took the loss in the spirit that Mississippi Col- lege represents. Millsaps ' offensive was geared to the spinning feet of Dave McIntosh, who repeatedly reeled off long gains. Against the McIntosh propelled on- slaughts, the Choctaws uncovered their freshman flash, James Coleman, the only Choctaw back able to make head- way against the hepped-up defense con- tinually flung by the Majors. Jackson hurled a long pass which McIntosh took over his head on the 20 yard line and raced to the 12 before being downed. A series of plunges put the Majors over the goal line for their touchdown in the first quarter. The Chocs, who reported the con- solation of making 10 first downs to six for the Majors, appeared goalward bound three times before the deter- mined resistance by the Majors checked them. After the first score by the Majors, the Chocs were determined to equal it but were never able to muster enough force to break the Major line. It was a great game and the Choctaws really fought hard and the loss made them all the more determined that next year there will be joy in the Indian Camp. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 19; DELTA STATE, 0 The Indians saw to it that what hap- pened at the last game wouldn ' t happen again. Top: Sugar Green carrying the ball with a Centre man hanging on.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 34; LOUISIANA COLLEGE, 0 EUGENE POLK Center JACK SHRADER Guaid They went into battle and took Delta State ' s scalp by the score of 19 to 0. John Jennings, Choc fullback, figured in much of the damage for the Indians as did Edward Lee, end, who took two touchdown passes. The best play of the game was a 76 yard scoring pass from Jennings to Lee. The ball traveled 30 yards in the air. Lee was hit on the five, but he managed to keep his feet and continue his journey into pay-dirt. McPhearson and Polk were the defensive stars for the Choctaws. The Blue and Gold picked up 12 first downs to Delta State ' s 10. The Choctaws attempted 17 passes and completed nine with no interceptions. Delta State tried eight aerials and completed one with one interception. HOLLIS RUTTER Back MALCOM WAREN Guard While a near capacity crowd of proud alumni looked on, the Mississippi College Choctaws set off a resounding climax to the Homecoming festivities at Clinton by over- whelming the invading Louisiana College Wildcats on Provine Field, 34 to 0. Gore, Bryant Smith, Sugar Green, Cole- man, and Billy Green carried the ball into payoff territory while quarterback Rutter cooly booted four extra points. i ! LI H HERMAN WELLS Tackle JOHN L. JONES Head Manager JOE STURDIVANT Ass ' t Manager BILL CAMPBELL Ass ' t Manager Sharing the spotlight with the rampaging Tribesmen was Homecoming Queen Doris Nell Wallace of Carthage, who was crowned by grid captain Granville Gore during half- time activities. Every M.C. player fought hard and did his part, displaying that real Choctaw spirit. With the Louisiana College Wildcats scalped, there remained only one more foe in the 1947 Season, Stetson University. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 6; STETSON UNIVERSITY, 6 On November twenty-second, the Mis- sissippi College boys journeyed down to Deland, Florida to tie the Stetson Hatters, 6 to 6, in a well played and hard-fought game. The Hatters scored first early in the sec- ond quarter and the Choctaws came right back in the same period as fullback Bill Green raced 37 yards for a touchdown. Taking the kickoff on his own 27 yard line, freshman halfback Jimmy Coleman led a Choctaw advance to the Stetson 37. Jen- nings then slanted off right tackle and scored standing up. Stetson threa tened seriously on two oc- casions in the second half, going to the Choctaws ' 11 yard line, but the Choctaws put up that old Indian defense and held them.

When the basketball season officially opened with the first practice session held on November twentieth, Coach Lefty Fulton had five lettermen back from the previous season ' s squad. These five lettermen — Frank Evans, James Parkman, Jim Clark, Harold Kitchings, and Raymond Stratton — were to form the war party around which Coach Ful- ton hoped to build a great team. As the sea- son progressed, new names were added to the glory list. Corbin Barnes, a junior college transfer, Edward Blake, and Billy Potter, B team member of the year before, and others were pushing some of the old men for their positions. The Choctaws first hit the war path away from home at Louisiana Tech where they lost to a taller and more experienced ball club . . . The Braves returned to Clinton the follow- ing Saturday night only to suffer another humiliating disaster at the hands of South- eastern Louisiana, after taking the lead in the opening minutes but losing it to the Lions for the remainder of the game . . . On December 19 just before the Christmas holidays, those people from Louisiana were here in Clinton. To them the Blue and Gold dropped their third straight game — they just got here the fustest with the mostest and the Chocs never had a chance . . . Reenforced with all that good chow and easy living over the holi- days, the Redskins broke into the winning column on February 9 and soundly trounced the Alabama Teachers quintette 41 to 28. Corbin Barnes, six foot four center, stole the show with his excellent floor work and sharp shootin ' eye. Harold Kitchings, Ed Blake, and Jim Merritt looked good, too . . . The Braves hit the road for parts known as Cleveland and Delta State only to be repelled to the tune of 54 to 34. It was the Greenies all the way with Delta out front 31 to 12 at half-time. And then the first big night was here when we opened with the Mealy-Mouths of Metho- dist Hill at the City Auditorium in Jackson. Wanting to give them some ray of hope and not leave them in the depths of utter despair and disillusionment, we let them take the first game 53 to 52; but in doing so, we gave them a glimpse of what was in store for the future. It was a Typical Choc-Major clash: Model T Carr of the Saps led the scoring with 28 points; the Blue and Gold led at half-time by 27 to 24; Chocs had 24 fouls called to 15 for the Majors . . .

On the trail again the Indians ' Five dropped their first game on the road to Birmingham South- ern on January 30 by the score of 54 to 45. Southern got her revenge over the previous Choctaw victory . . . The Choctaws then turn- ed around and played a brilliant game against the Jacksonville Teacher ' s College and beat them 65 to 54, giving them their second de- feat in two years . . . Returning to Alumni Gym, the Warriors lost a hard fought game to the Lambuth Eagles on Saturday night, January 7. The Chocs just couldn ' t find the basket and were swamped 50 to 38; however, Joe Baby and Corbin Barnes played good defensive ball for the Tribe. And then the Chocs found glory land in one of the most spectacular basketball games ever seen in the City Auditorium in Jackson. Edging the Purple and White 75 to 73 in a m dog eat dog affair, the Warriors won their first important victory of the year. Corbin Barnes played a brilliant game, leading all the other boys by scoring 32 points . . . On the memorable night of February 9, the Chocs slapped it to Millsaps again, and more decisively this time, to the tune of 56 to 47, with Barnes laying in seemingly impossible shots . . . Then a session with Louisiana Col- lege ended in a 45 to 45 tie. With two over- time periods, the Chocs came out on the short end of a 62 to 59 score. Blake and Carr rack- ed up a nice 17 points apiece . . . Friday, the thirteenth, came along with bad luck for Southwestern of Memphis, because Joe Baby and the boys piled it on for 50 points to their 42. On a four game trip, the boys got the little end of the deal with Mississippi Southern by a score of 49 to 40 . . . On to Lambuth Col- lege, the Lambuth Eagles took one in a second- half scoring run by adding up 52 points to our 40 . . . The tide turned at Sewa- nee when Jim Parkman looped 15 solid points of a 61 to 47 victory for the Chocs . . . But Alabama Teachers sneaked up from behind with a last second goal to beat the Chocs 70 to 69 . . . Back in the Jackson City Auditori- um, the team won undying honor by walking off with a third win over the Majors. Barnes and Kitchings racked up 16 points each to snow Millsaps under to the tune of 56 to 44 . . . Again in the Auditorium for the last game of the year, the Delta State Greenies laid the team to rest for the season with the final scoreboard reading 61 to 45. The Choctaws didn ' t have a great year on the hardwood. But taking into consideration that our Braves scalped the Mealy Majorettes of Millsaps three times out of four is enough to dispel the belief of some that the season was a failure as far as games won and lost are concerned. Joe Baby jumped center in the first home game. The Warriors scalped Alabama Teachers. THE TRACK TEAM First Row: Koonce, Smith, Hudson, Fulton, Metts, Gore, Kennedy, Red Thompson.

Polk, Canzoneri, Gatewood, McCaughan, Roy Thompson, Tulloh, Britt. The Choctaw track squad, ably coached by Lefty Fulton opened their 1947 season by scalping Delta State 92 to 42. Throughout the season, the squad participated in six en- gagements, winning four of them. The last one was a victory of 73 to 57 over the Mill- saps Majors. Those who lettered were Oscar Cole (Manager), Ray Fulton, Albert Gore, Howard Green, James Hatton, Carl Hudson, John L. Jones, D. D. Kennedy, Dewey Metts, James Parkman (Captain), Lucian Stratton, Raymond Stratton, Donn Taylor, Howard Woods, and Herschel Saucier. Only two letter men, Gore and Metts, graduated, so the Gore and Smith going over the iirst hurdle in CHARLES SHORTY GASTON the Millsaps Meet. team was left largely intact. With most men back this year and a number of new pros- pects, the predictions for the 1948 season are all good. With the opening of the 1947 baseball sea- son, the outlook was rather uncertain, for the Choctaws were trying their luck on the dia- mond for the first time since the war. Coach McLeod, with the aid of manager Roy Bur- kett, moulded the new team into a hustling, first-rate ball club. Of the 23 games in which the Choctaws participated, they won 11. Twelve men earned letters: James Merritt, Luther Lawrence, Grover McKay (Captain), Johnnie Walker, Judge Guynes, Frank Evans, Clarence Harrison, Doc Whatley, Bill Rainer, Shorty Mills, Roy Burkett (Man- ager), and Herman Wells. The outlook for the 1948 season is even more promising than the ' 47 season because only two men graduated. Although boxing is not a part of the col- lege athletic program, the TRIBESMAN feels that two M.C. students should be recognized for their participation in this sport. Herman Wells and Shorty Gaston entered the State TRACK AND BASEBALL Golden Gloves competition in Jackson. Her- emplifying the true Choctaw sportsmanship, man was acclaimed the champion heavy- was awarded the Golden Gloves sportsman- weight in the open class and Shorty , ex- ship trophy.

In her Sophomore year Jewell served as secretary of her class and in her Junior year she was Vice-President of the Women ' s Student Government. In addition to her serving as President of the W.S.G.A. this year, Jewell has also been an instructor in Physical Education.

With an all-time high of 154 members the M. A. has had as its prime objective this year the raising of funds for a new mission bus in order to carry on a more extensive mis- sion program.

During the past year the Philomathean Literary Society has made one of the most worthy advances toward its goal, the culti- vating and developing of the whole person- ality of each of its many members, not only in oratory and debate, but in practically every realm of literary expression. Com- prehending the importance of freedom of speech to truth and effective democracy, its members have preserved the Philomathean tradition of studying and practicing the principles of public speech and parliamen- tary procedure. A realization of the serious- ness of present world conditions has prompted their capable president, Ellis Grif- fith, to encourage each member to offer his best in the effort to preserve the principles and ideals of a free people. Under his lead- ership and that of the other officers, Philo- matheans have gained new confidence in democracy and will inevitably emerge as champions of those principles which Amer- icans hold dear.

It sponsors receptions, formals, fashion shows, and guest speakers. Its members seek to learn more of charm and culture apart from the mere mechanics of etiquette, in order that they might be more gracious leaders in communities where they will soon serve.

Among the outstanding activities of the organization were the humorous and informative debates given by vari ous members and the setting up of a mock congress. Acting on the belief that a knowledge of parliamentary pro- cedure would make one a better citizen, the congress was organized in co-operation with the Philomatheans — the Hermenians being the House of Representatives; the Philoma- theans, the Senate. Problems of national and local interest were placed before the congress. In general, the society has en- deavored to keep abreast of current affairs, to arouse interest in personality growth, and to encourage individual thinking and self expression, traits which will make its mem- bers, the leaders of tomorrow, capable of claiming the heritage passed to them by their forefathers.

Composed of about forty mem- bers, the group possesses a comprehensive r e p e r t o i re of varying style, including both modern and classical music. The marching band added much to the fighting spirit of the Choctaws during the football season and at the basketball games. In adition to its pro- ficient marching during the year, the band proved itself equally well adept in its con- cert playing. With much em- phasis on solo and ensemble work, the concert band contri- buted much to the cultural life of the campus. Julius McLaurin, Twirler; Mary Batrous, Drum Majorette; Porter Puryear.Twirler.

Ex- cellent programs, interesting discussions, and real interest on the part of each member have made the Pre-Meds one of the best informed groups on the campus. BLUE MOODS ORCHESTRA Music in the lighter vein could be heard emitting from the band room every Monday and Thursday evening when the ' ' Blue Moods got together for relaxation and di- version from the routine of college life. Somehow they always began and ended with There ' ll Be Some Changes Made — they could play that when they were off on everything else. Strictly a democratic organization, the Moods numbered thirteen, each one a character. Five saxes — Don Jones, Wimpy Whitfield, Jerry McKenzie, Charles Tolbert, and Milben Rogers- created a mellowness that would have rivaled Glenn Miller ' s. They were backed up by a solid brass sec- tion composed of Buddy La Vail, Everett Cole, Jimmy Lackey, Bud Bullock, and Truett Boyd. Bill Mendum, Gloria Haynie, and Everett Boyd furnished the rhythm. The orchestra gave several performances during the year; probably the most outstand- ing was its contribution to the successful opening of the Student Center. ' We ' re here — one thousand strong! 1 We opened it with a bang Have mercy. Porter! What are you doing up in the air? Long may SHE wave! I ' ll bet you ' re kiddin ' . Perrin! Now boys!
