With grateful hearts, therefore, we dedicate this, The 1949 TRIBESMAN, to our faithful registrar, Miss Addie Mae Stevens. DEDICATION As we look back over our few years here at M.C. and are reminded of the many visits to “Miss Addie Mae’s” for schedule changes, MISS ADDIE MAE STEVENS THE COLLEGE Mississippi College has made many strides forward this year under the capable leadership of Dr. Nelson. The opening of the new band building, the establish- ment of the student grill and the enlarge- ment of the book store are a few, and the highlight of the year was the open- ing of Nelson Hall for classes and chapel. His interest in others and his deep love for Mississippi College have won for him a place in the hearts of his students, his faculty members and his fellow ' Baptists. ■ FACULTY Watch this B-flat here!

The Student Executive Council is the governing body composed of the president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, attorney, head cheerleader, two representatives of the senior class, two of the junior class, and the presidents of the sophomore and freshman classes. The purpose of the Student Body Association is to bind the students in a stronger union and to develop a keen sense of school spirit through- out the year. ii GOVERNMENT ( H « 4 , c WOMEN’S STUDENT GOVERNMENT COUNCIL Cowart Martha Houston ar, 8tnr� f«n� er T r r ® Graet M.

It is composed of the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, all house presidents, and the representative of the fresh- man girls. Each member of the council must maintain a “B” average throughout the year. The W. S. G. Council is responsible for up- holding the rules of the college among the girls and for providing penalty for all who may break those or the rules made by the council. 1 he council has been exceedingly effective in helping maintain a high standard for the girls at Mississippi College.

FRANK HART SMITH Editor-in-Chief Beginning the first few weeks of school with a cranky photographer from New York (whose pictures turned out mighty well in spite of the cricks in our necks) and continuing right on through that mad rush to make the February 1 deadline, the members of the Tribesman staff have worked hard and long to give you what we think to be a year- book picturing truly and uniquely life at Mississippi LEE FERRELL Business Manager College for the year 48-49. Without the help of Robert Wall, Mr. Tolbert, Bob Hand of Jackson, Bill Benson of Nashville, Frank O’Neill of New York, and Norman Eyrich of Shreveport we could never have given you the fine quality book we’re presenting to you this year, and most of all, our thanks go out to you, fellow Choctaw, for giving us the opportunity to work for you as your annual staff. TRIBESMAN ROBERT WALL Staff Photographer r i — — Wall, C. Smith, Dorris, F. H. Smith The Arrowhead is the magazine of Missis- sippi College. It is published by the students, for the students. Under the capable editorship of Ed Blake, the publication gives as its pur- pose the following: to devote its covers and pages to entertainment, to reflect life at Mis- sissippi College as best it can, to refrain from “world reform,” and to serve as an outlet for all the creative energy and artistic endeavor that it can inspire at M.

Smith COLLEGIAN BUSINESS STAFF Leslie Goodwin Business Manager The Collegian is concerned with presenting and upholding the advantages of Mississippi College and the Christian principles upon which she is built, without magnifying the defects and unpleasantries of our system. To the staff responsible for its successful publication, The Collegian is sometimes a burden, sometimes a pleasure. On Monday morning the hardest job, collection and editing of material is completed. Wednesday is the day for making up a dummy copy for the printer, Hederman Brothers, and finally distri- bution is made on Friday. LESLIE GOODWIN Business Manager Faced with a lack of cooperation, a too-early deadline, and only an amateur knowledge of journalism, the staff has occasionally parted from the best of grammar and style; yet they have produced a paper of which Mississippi Choctaws are proud.

The ’48 football season came and went — leaving in its wake several things of note, such as four well-scalped adversaries, a revived Dixie Conference, and only a skeleton of next year’s team. Seven out of eleven is a major part of any football team, but that’s the num- ber that Coach Robbie may have to say- good- bye to if all graduate that are supposed to. It will be a sad day, too, for it is the breaking up of a great team. This year’s squad repre- sented the peak in that reservoir of material that has welled up since the war has been over — but now it’s leaking out. Along the way through the ’48 season let’s see what damage this top-notch team of Chocs did. First Row: Niles. Rutter, Gunn, Case, Tyler, Campbell. Second Row: Jones, E. Lee, Wells, Benton, Jennings, Matulich, Howard. Third Row: Hardin, D. W. Lee. Krout, Polk, Fulton, Pittman, Magee, Coleman. Fourth Row: Decell, Hughes, C. D. Lee, Sanderford, Bookter, Massey, Gordon. Fifth Row: Sessums, J. Wilson, R. Wilson, Lowther. Smith, Britt. Teamwork is shown as these three Chocs close in. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 0 No doubt it was somewhat of a blow to the Chocs, but they dropped their season opener to Arkansas State by a 14 to 0 score. The Arkansas crew made both of their tallies in the second quarter, and then tightened up their defense and defied the Choctaw charges. ARKANSAS STATE, 14 Outstanding for the Choc offense was “Sugar” Green, who charged through the In- dians’ line to pick up an average gain of 7 yards per plunge. Herman Wells and Charles Hardin were the Choc defensive stalwarts. i I ARNOLD GORDON Guard HOWARD GREEN Back BILL GUNN Back CHARLES HARDIN Tackle MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 1 he Chocs retaliated with real power in their first home game as they turned the tables on Stetson with a 14 to 0 win before a near capacity crowd at Robinson Field. Again it was “Sugar” Green in the limelight as he scored one touchdown and had another 84 14 STETSON, 0 yard pay trip called back on account of an off sides penalty. Husky James Wilson, Choc tackle, accounted for the second Choctaw score as he pounced on a Stetson punt knocked hay- wire by his brother, Roland Wilson. Roland kicked both extra points. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, It took Delta State 14 years to do it, but on October 9, the Statesmen eked out a 7 to 6 victory over the Choctaws at Cleveland. Vic- tims of fate, the distraught Chocs outplayed the Statesmen in every quarter, chalking up sixteen first downs while the Greenies made only five. A pass by John Jennings was intercepted by a Delta State man who raced 80 yards before MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, In a game that offered the spectators plenty of thrills, the Choctaws were edged 19-20 by the Purple Tigers of Sewanee on Robinson Field October i6. Highlight of the scrap was the 63 yard dash for pay dirt by Duff Green of Sewanee, late in the first quarter, as he scored the first tally of the game. The Chocs, after a sluggish first quarter, 6 DELTA STATE, 7 he was downed. A subsequent pass from Dur- ham to Hughes resulted in the Statesmen’s winning touchdown. Grezaffi’s kick was good. The Choctaw’s reply was a series of double reverses mixed with short spot passes engineer- ed by Jennings. These resulted in a line- bucking touchdown by freshman David Lee, but the conversion was blocked and the whistle sounded with the Chocs trailing by one point. 19 SEWANEE, 20 came to life late in the second as Sessums got loose. Again in the fourth period Sessums crossed the marker and tied the game at 13-all. Not to be beaten, the University of the South again marched goalward and scored. The Chocs snapped into action and Fulton leaped high in the end zone to capture a pass and make the final Choc bid for victory. CLYDE HOWARD HAL HUGHES JOHN JENNINGS EUGENE JONES Back Back Back Tackle Scramble in mid-air to get that ball. A tense moment in the Millsaps game. The Choctaws rolled hard and fast as they defeated the Southwestern Lynx in Crump Stadium October 23. Scores of loyal Choctaw fans, including the band and cheerleaders, made the trip to cheer the boys to victory. A pre- game pep rally was held in downtown Mem- phis at the King Cotton Hotel, where the team was staying. The Chocs scored in every period of the game after Sessums took a Southwestern punt on the M.C. 10 and returned it to the Lynx 20. Nit Fulton skirted right end for the tally, and Massey converted. DUNBAR LEE EDWARD LEE End End SOUTHWESTERN, 6 The Lynx came back with a pass to the Choc 22. Jack Doyle bucked the line for their sole score. In the second quarter Hal Hughes intercepted a Lynx pass on the 41. Hughes continued to the 1 7 where Creen took over, and, in a pair of thrusts, scored around left end. Halfback Clyde Howard then took a Lynx punt on his own 42 and dashed through the entire Lynx line for a touchdown. Sessums, Howard, Gunn, and Green — all scored again before the whistle sounded and the Chocs re- tired victoriously from the field. 87 m MURPHY LOWTHER Center LINDY MAGEE Guard JOHN MASSEY Tackle LAWRENCE MATULICH Back MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, In a rough and tough, nip and tuck, genuine football thriller, the Chocs routed the Mill- saps Majors from Robinson Field by a 20 to 14 score before a capacity-plus crowd. It was the game we had been waiting for the whole season, and it was somewhat disheartening when Millsaps star back, Little All-American Dave McIntosh, tossed a pass to Otis Piggott in the opening minutes of the game to earn a Methodist score standing up. The Majors con- verted and it looked as if the Chocs were be- hind the same 8-ball they found themselves behind last year. The first half wore on, and 20 MILLSAPS, 14 the score remained— Millsaps 7, Mississippi College 0. BUT — the second half saw a determined, re- juvenated crew of Indians on the field. Howard took the kick-off, and the Chocs marched confidently goalward. From the 7 yard line Green swept around left end to score. Massey’s conversion was incomplete. Millsaps 7, Mis- sissippi College 6. Later in the third quarter the Chocs began their “reorganized goal march No. 2” which brought the pigskin to the Millsaps one yard line. Sessums leaped over, Rutter converted, James Wilson tries to get into the act! and the loyal Choc fans went wild. It was still anybody’s ball game. In the fourth quarter Hal Hughes intercepted a Major pass and the Chocs marched down- field. On a double reverse Green scored his second touchdown of the game. Rutter again converted. Score: Mississippi College 20, Mill- saps 7. Hut it wasn’t over yet! In the final minutes of the game, McIntosh launched a long pass to Davis on the Choc 35, and Davis raced over standing up. This time the score was posted 20 to 14, and the whistle blew. Many, many fans filed out — some were happy, some were not — and we said it was a good ball game. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 7 YOUNGSTOWN, 36 The week following the Millsaps game saw hands of the Youngstown Penguins before 14,- the Chocs suffer a severe thrashing at the 000 fans at Youngstown, Ohio. Both the “Leaping Lena” tries it again! McIntosh of Millsaps heads for another major gain. Chocs and the Penguins had records of three wins and three losses prior to this game, but the Penguins showed themselves to be the MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, Countermarching from Ohio to Florida, the Chocs experienced another defeat as the Florida State Seminoles chalked up their third straight victory in the new Dixie Conference. The sole Choc score came in the first quarter. In the opening minutes of the ball game, HOWARD SESSUMS BRYANT SMITH Back Back stronger team, scoring in every quarter and twice in the first two quarters. 6 FLORIDA STATE, 26 Clyde Howard took the ball from freshman fullback Jimmy Pittman and scored from the three yard line. The game closed with a bril- liant punt return of some 70 yards by “Sugar” Green to the Seminole 8. CHARLES TYLER HERMAN WELLS Back Tackle MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE, 13 EAST TEXAS BAPTIST COLLEGE, 0 On November 20, tom-toms resounded across Robinson Field as the braves from M. C. walk- ed off the gridiron with a fresh, dripping scalp — product of their 13-0 victory over the East Texas Baptists before a large Homecom- ing crowd. Halftime saw the performance of guest high school bands and the crowning of Miss June Watkins as Homecoming Queen of 1948. The determined play of two substitute backs, Hal Hughes and Bryant Smith, paved the way for the Choctaws. Initial score of the game came in the second quarter when Hughes scrambled around left end for a touchdown. Rutter’s placement was good, and the Chocs led 7 to 0 at halftime. In the fourth quarter “Sugar” Green drove from the Texas 37 to their 8 where he was driven out of bounds. Then on a double reverse Green went over for the final score of the game, the season, and his career. JAMES WILSON ROLAND WILSON BILL CAMPBELL JOHN NILES Tackle Guard Manager Assistant Manager 91 t B A S K E WILSON FULTON Coach T B A L L Coach Fulton’s Basketball squad met the 1948-49 season with a twenty-five game sched- ule ahead. That shedule was sprinkled with more tough opposition than had confronted the Chocs in many moons. So the Choc cagers went to work. In the guard positions were two veteran lettermcn — Raymond Stratton and Corbin Barnes, both six foot, four inch backboard wrappers. At center was another old timer, Frank Evans, who handles the ball for the fast break. At forwards were another pair wi th plenty of Blue and Gold service, Billy Potter and James Carr. During the year, however, several other names came to the front as the Choctaws dug in on their schedule: Howard Sessums and Jimmy Tulloh at forwards, Murray Beard and Edward Blake at guards, Jim Merritt and Lee Ferrell at center, plus intermittent service by Bryant Smith at forward and Pete Lawrence at guard. Personalities flashed across the Choctaw stage and left their impressions, an early seasonal slump came and went, and with it a comeback that accounted for nine victories against five defeats in the Dixie Conference. First up on the Choc bill of fare was Stetson down at Deland, Florida, and the Choctaws put their first scalp on their belt by a 50 to 48 score. The following night the Choc war party dropped in on the Florida State Seminole camp and were repulsed by a 53 to 21 count. The routed Indians started homeward, but — alack and alas! They marched right across territory claimed by the Pensacola Naval Air Base Goslins. Another battle was pitched and it was a tough one. Hair hew as the Chocs strove for another scalp, but it was a few points beyond their grasp as the final whistle sounded — leaving the distraught Chocs with a 56 to 51 defeat on their hands. Back home the Choctaws met the Ole Miss CORBIN BARNES Guard MURRAY BEARD Guard EDWARD BLAKE Guard JAMES CARR Forward FRANK EVANS Center LEE FERRELL Center Rebels in Jackson’s City Auditorium. After leading the Rebels in the first half, the Chocs lost their lead to lose by a 67-50 score. In a return game on the Rebels home floor, the Chocs were again defeated, this time 81 to 56. Then came Southwestern in Memphis and another ill day as the Tribesmen suffered a close 59 to 50 licking from the Lynx. Next up was a return tilt with the Pensacola Goslins in Clinton. Wincing from the earlier defeat, the Chocs held a safe margin through- out the game — until two minutes before the whistle when the Goslins fired five accurate shots into the basket to steal a 39-38 victory. More of a blow to the Chocs, however, was the loss of Raymond Stratton, who suffered a severely sprained knee. The rest of the season he spent with the knee in a brace. During the Christmas holidays while the reservation in Clinton was peculiarly quiet as the Choc braves and squaw ' s departed their various ways, the warriors had another, more Tulloh spills a couple in the Stetson game. Potter shoots a crip shot. difficult assignment. To the far north lay four powerful foes, waiting for the aforewarned Choctaws — Michigan State, University of De- troit, University of Buffalo, and University of Rochester. On a bleak winter day after Christmas, the knocked-down, traveling-size war party departed with much well wishing. What all went on is a mystery to the home folks on i the reservation. No distant tom-toms were heard, no breathless messengers came panting across the campus to reveal how the campaign went — they were sore days. Then the braves came straggling home. From the mouth of one came the report: “Ugh-Ouch! Beat by Michigan State 74 to 28; beat by Detroit 51 to 28; beat by Buffalo 62 to 56; beat by Rochester 68 to 54! Had heap big fun!” The Chocs were tired of being beat, so they came back with four consecutive wins. Stetson PAUL LAMPHERE Forward PETE LAWRENCE Guard JAMES MERRITT Center Add two more for the Choctaws! fell before a 53-47 onslaught, Howard by a 56 to 51 count, and Birmingham Southern and Millsaps by 43-38 and 48-41 scores respectively. Dropping a game to Birmingham Southern by a 62 to 57 score and one to Howard 60-47, the Chocs returned home once more to waylay Millsaps, Florida State and Millsaps again in a three-win series. Despite three easy wins over Millsaps, the fourth contest saw the Chocs fall in a 49-31 defeat. While the braves were down, Sewanee handed them a hard 55 to 53 defeat. Taking their final fling on Alabama and Georgia soil, the Chocs met the Alabama State Teachers and were downed 78 to 40. Then taking on the conference leaders, the Chocs were edged out by a 95 to 77 tally in a fast, high scoring game with Mercer at Macon, Georgia. The following night, the Chocs brought the season to a close by blistering the basket with 104 points to Oglethorpe’s 83.

Don Metzler, immigrant from Illinois, arrived in time to take over at short stop for a season of top per- formance. Outfield guardians — Herman Wells, Eu- gene Polk, William Guynes, Roger Zachary, J. C. Graves, and Dick Campbell — all turned in notable service in retreiving long knock-aways. Along the way in establishing M. C.’s best baseball record since the war, the Choctaws triumphed in their series with Millsaps and Delta State, split with Mississippi Southern and Florida State, and lost in the series with Alabama State Teachers at Livingston. It was a great season for the baseball team, but a much greater season for those of us who spent many sunny spring afternoons sitting on the clover- cushioned hillside watching our Choctaws perform. With the loss of only one senior, Grover McKay, another successful season is in store for 1949 . There was always plenty going on in the Choc dugout. VvxWYfl r- Sitting: Lawrence Ashley, Donn Taylor.

V - T R Coach Wilson “Lefty” Fulton’s call to the cinders was answered by an encouraging turn-out of some thirty experienced trackmen who turned on the steam to be ready for the April 9 deadline that saw the Chocs in their initial action for the season against Louisiana Tech on Robinson Field. The fleet-footed Louisiana team concluded the aft- ernoon’s activities with a 78 to 53 victory before a spirited assembly of Choctaw supporters. Despite two first places apiece between Donn Taylor in the distance runs and “Sugar” Green in the high and low hurdles, the Chocs failed to retain their early lead and succombed to the super-charged men from Tech. However, both teams were evenly balanced in individual scoring honors. The Choctaws took seven first places while Tech took six and the mile relay. Other first places for M. C. went to Jimmy Stribling in the quarter mile, Captain Herschel Saucier in the half mile, Edward Blake in pole vault, and D. D. Kennedy and Raymond Stratton in high jump. It was overpowering strength in field events on the part of the Louisiana squad that thwart- ed the Chocs. A C K HERSCHEL SAUCIER Captain ft DONN TAYLOR CHARLES HARDIN JIMMY STRIBLING Distance runs Shot-put Dash man Ironically enough, the Choctaw’s next move was over to Birmingham’s Legion Field for a dual meet with Howard College where the Chocs triumphed in field events and suffered in track events. Among the first slots captured by M.C. was a three-way tie for first place in high jump by Stratton, Woods and Kennedy. Ed Blake soared to a 11 ' 6 win in pole vault while Donn Taylor galloped for easy wins in the one and two mile runs. Jimmy Stribling raced around the oval for a win in the quarter mile race as well as serving as anchor man in the mile relay. In this event James Jones took a safe lead in his lap, transferred the baton plus his lead to Howard Woods and thence to Roland Wall and Stribling. It was an easy and impressive victory for the Choctaw relay men. Next on the list for the Choctaws was a triangular meet with the University of the South and Southwestern of Memphis, held at Sewanee. After a wobbly lead early in the meet, the Chocs came through to take an easy win over the two Tennessee squads by the fol- lowing scores: Miss. College, 58: Southwestern, 42 4, and Sewanee, 30J 2- Returning to Robinson Field, the Choctaws played host to the strong Ole Miss Rebels. Though the Rebs were greatly favored over the Chocs, it was not until the afternoon was waning that the victor could be determined. Outstanding for the Choctaws were the quarter Stribling leads in dash at meet with Kecsler Field. W mile contestants — Jimmy Stribling, James Jones, and Roland Wall — who finished first, second, and third, respectively. Donn Taylor took the one and two mile races with ease. In their final track encounter, the Choctaws were hosts to Keesler Field and Pensacola Naval Air Station in a triangular affair which ended with Mississippi College leading with 87 points, Pensacola next with 33, and Keesler trailing with 13. So much for the round-up of the meets — let’s see who the warriors are that make up the track squad. In the sprinting class Duev Hatton, Teddy Flowers, and “Rooster” Case were the Choc entries. Hurdling for M. C. were “Sugar” Green and Bryant Smith. Jimmy Stribling, James Jones, Howard Woods, and Roland Wall were the fastest single lappcrs. They made up the mile relay team. Captain of the team and only once-defeated half-miler was Herschel Saucier. His running mates on the two lap jaunt were George Can- zoneri and Lucian Stratton. In the one and two mile divisions we find Donn Taylor, endurance champion who set an SIAA record last year. Taylor was clocked at 4:34.5 on the one mile and 10:31.9 on the two mile this season. His running mates, John L. Jones and Fred Spencer, favored the score chart with consistent second and third places. Leaving the running Braves, may we survey the other half — the field men. Hurling the discus was Dan Cameron, a ministerial student, and helping him was Herman Wells. Dunbar Lee and Charles Hardin took over the shot- putting duties to help the Choc scores consider- ably during the second half of the season. Javelin artists were Raymond Fulton and Raymond Stratton. Bouncing from the saw- dust piles were the pole vaulters, the high jumpers, and the broad jumpers. Edward Blake, Raymond Fulton, Leon Gober, and Carl Hudson were the Choc aerial entries. Blake was undefeated for the season, putting out his greatest effort in the final meet to slip over the bar at 12 ' 3 to defeat Pensacola’s Potter and retain his unbeaten status. Over at the high jumping pit Raymond Stratton, Howard Woods, D. D. Kennedy, and Tillman Britt are the notable. Throughout the season Stratton accumulated the most points at the high jumping pit with several clearances over six feet. In the broad jumping bracket were Duey Hatton and D. D. Kennedy. This concludes our inventory of Choctaw trackmen, and leaves you, gentle browser, free to gaze at pictures and reminisce. James Jones to Roland Wall in mile relay.

THE GIRLS JEWELL COLE Instructor PLAY, TOO When Mississippi College became co-educa- tional, the girls’ section for the Physical Edu- cation Department was set up. This year that section has been under the capable direction of Miss Jewell Cole, who also serves as an instruc- tor in the department and as hostess of Gunter Hall. In the girl’s P.

The Volunteer Mission Band is an organiza- tion of students who have voluntarily banded themselves together in order to carry on mission activities in and around Jackson. The members of the Band are not necessarily mission volun- teers nor ministerial students. A desire to serve and an active indication of that desire makes one a member of the Volunteer Mission Band. On the weekly mission trips services are con- ducted in various ways. In some cases regular preaching services are held, while in other cases a devotional and singing constitutes the pro- gram. In most cases personal contact is made. Once each week the Volunteer Mission Band meets for prayer, reports, and an inspirational mission program.

ELSEY Director 115 MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE BAND This year we had a band of which we were all proud. Though its membership was com- paratively small, the band made a definite contribution to the school spirit under the capable leadership of the new director, Mr. Paul G. Fisher. The marching performances and field drills at the football games were well planned and expertly executed. Strutting and twirling with the drum major, “Bill” Johnston, were the drum majorettes who added color to the band’s performances. Before the Homecoming game against East Texas Baptist, the M. C. Band, in co-operation with eight high school bands, formed the ini- tials M. C. and T. At half-time the bands spelled out TEXAS, in honor of our visitors. During the coronation ceremony, the band played “Now Is The Hour.” The Band even conducted their own Cheer- ing Section, with Mr. Fisher as Head Cheer- leader. One of the best cheers we had was the one in which Dave Davis and his trumpet had the lead out. Throughout the year, the band entertained the students with concerts in chapel, special programs, and during Commencement. 116 MEMBERS Opposite Page First Row: Bill Johnston.

The most outstanding feature of the year was the types of programs given. It was with the co-operation of each member that this, the greatest part of their activity, was ac- complished. The program most often present- ed was that of debating and debate procedure. For this purpose the Hermenian Literary So- ciety was founded and has been supported by a large number of students since 1853. It will always be an organization for the purpose of giving to its members every opportunity to learn and master the art of public speaking in every form. THE PHILOMATHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Norman H i per Robert Gtrling Martha R ckley Gwendolyn Compere Dot Dorris Leslie Goodwin P resident Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Critic Sergeant-at-Arms The Philomathean society is one of two literary clubs on the campus. The main pur- pose is in training the members in public speaking and to acquaint them with every phase of literary expression. Each Thursday evening the regular club meetings are held with either members from the club or a guest speaker on program. This year the society has seen the attainment of many new goals under the capable leadership of Norman Harper as president. Realizing that those who are now members of the club will some day be future builders in this great country, the cluh endeavors to prepare the individual to meet the political and economical problems in a democratic way and to uphold the principles America stands for.

The present endowment was sufficient for 600 students, but with an enrollment of 1,000, more is necessary. Let ' s make this the crowning year of achievement and effort. $200,000 needed to bring the endowment to $1,000,000 necessary to keep the college accredited by the highest accrediting agencies. YOU CAN HELP With your gifts, with your influence, and in making the needs known. KEEP MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE GREAT Keep her standards high with ample endowment. Compliments of S. P.
