The Nineteen Fifty n OF MISSISSIPPI COI CLINTON, MI MISSISSIPPI BAPTIST HISTORICAL COMMISSION ' ,l ,lt 4 duiui I ¥ I The primary aim of Mississippi College is to offer the opportunity for well-rounded education in a definitely Christian environment ▼ To this end our college fosters the growth of integrated per- sonalities, the enrichment of life experiences of its students by directing our development in all departments of living — physical, mental, social, aesthetic, moral, and spiritual The purpose of this yearbook is to present a printed picture of varied student life on the campus of Mississippi College With the sincere hope that this publication will be a pictorial and human interest, we, the members of the annual staff, present the 1950 TRIBESMAN OPPOSITE: Chapel SYMBOLICAL OF OUR AS STUDENTS OF MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE Mississippi College is of the type of institutions of high; r learning first planted in the new world. In fact, of the first one hundred and nineteen colleges and universi Bestablished on this continent, one hundred and four of them were founded and operated by religious groups. Just ' before the outbreak of the war between the states there were in the United States of America two hundred and forty -six colleges and universities. All but seventeen of these were church related. The primary purpose in the founding these educational institutions was to insure an intelligent, consecrated, spiritual leadership for the great adventure ti which the founders were giving themselves. Mississippi College rejoices to be numbered among these Christian colleges that have wrought so mightily in building our West- ern Civilization. Chartered in 1826 as Hampstead Academy, changed its name to Mississippi Academy in 1827, ad- vanced to the status of college in 1830, acquired by the Pn byterians in 1842, secured by Mississippi Baptists In 1850, Mississippi College is completing a century of gr A and Christian service under its present sponsorship. Mississippi College along with those of its type is called! a Christian institution. What are some of the things that make it so? First, Mississippi College is owned by a great denominator Sunday after Sunday, in Mississippi Baptist churches contributions are made for its support and prayers are off Mm in its interest. On special occasions, even sermons are preached on its behalf. It is considered, and rightly so. art essential Kingdom building agency; here an adequate leadership is provided; here the Christian way of life receives major emphasis. Second, the members of the Board of Trustees, appointed by the controlling denomination, are required to be active members of Baptist Churches, and are therefore firm belie vJRn the tenets of Christianity, and as a policy making body, orders and directs the program of the college in harmony with the basic Christian truths upon which it rests. Third, it is required that the administrative and teaching be composed of Christians of conviction and prac- tice. All officers and teachers are expected to be able not only to give a reason for the hope that is in them, but also to substantiate it and fortify it by the manner of life lived before the students. Fourth, the Bible occupies a prominent place in the curriculum and two full courses in this vital subject are required of all students who would graduate from the college. Not only ik the Bible taught freely and fully, but daily devo- tions are observed, and subjects in all the other departments are interpreted in the light of Its truth. Fifth, the student body is predominately Christian. Its member come from the best Christian homes of the land. They are encouraged to exercise their spiritual gifts and develop their God-given talents. Toward attaining this worthy end, they have their various religious activities and organizations in which they receive valuable training and needed inspiration. Sixth, all of these elements conspire to create a wholesome Christian atmosphere so necessary for the growth and development of strong Christian charact er. This statement concerning the purpose of Mississippi College wfl written by our President, DR. NELSON. The Old I OeOi GBGXOQ Because of his deep interest in Mississippi College, her stu- dents, and future, his challenges to the student body, his clear, forceful, and thought-provoking teaching and his ever-present sense of humor and wit, Dr. James has estab- lished himself as one of the outstanding professors of Mis- sissippi College. It is with pride that we dedicate this, the 1950 TRIBESMAN, to Dr. Harold Preston James. 12 3dministration 13 PRESIDENT D. M. NELSON Uncompromising and unrelenting in his convictions of truth, poised and gracious in manner, sterling in character, eloquent and inspiring in speech, Dr. Nelson has capably served as President of Mississippi College for eighteen years.

Be- Who’s Who at MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 67 Qt h 1 e t i c s Th athletic department is one of the most outstand- ing and most respected departments in the curriculum of Mississippi College. The fact of the preceding statement can largely be attributed to the splendid and responsible leadership of Coach Stanley Robin- son, the head coach and athletic director of our col- lege. The primary objective of Coach Robinson is not to produce a winning team, but to make mature men of all the college students who come into contact with him. Because of his unaffected personality and his genuine character, he commands the respect of all who know him. The responsibilities of leadership in the athletic de- partment have been ably filled by Coach Robinson, Coach McLeod, Coach Landrum, Coach Fulton, and Mrs. John Cook. It has been their primary aim to in- still within each one of the players a sense of good sportsmanship. The athletic endeavors of Mississippi College are directed mainly in four fields of sports: Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track. Taken as a whole, th.e teams have been highly successful in all four of these fields. Because of their competitive spirit and their high ideals of sportsmanship, we congratulate each of the players for their contributions to Mis- sissippi College.

David Lee, sensational sophomore fullback, was the big noise for the Braves all season as he led the Dixie Conference in several departments. Lee will head the eleven returning lettermen next year. Coach Robbie lost twenty lettermen through gradua- tion and other causes. MISSISIPPI COLLEGE was probably the only team in the country that had three brothers on the var- sity. Roland, James, and Bill Wilson, of New Albany, senior, junior, and freshman, led a great line from their guard and tackle positions. The Choctaws finished the season with an overall four won, five lost record. In conference play they had a two-two record. Four Choctaws were selected by the conference coaches for the ALL-DIXIE team. They werer Lee, Charles Krout, end, Roland Wilson, guard, and Her- man Wells, tackle. Mickey Decell, quarterback, made the all Dixie Conference second team. These are two shots of the players and the Doc as they watch the game from the sideline Our only deduction is that the game must be over Coach Stanley Robinson ' s 1949 grid machine had a tremendously successful season in one aspect, name- ly, the annual Millsaps fracas. With a 42-6 victory, the Choctaws smashed the Majors by a larger margin than any M. C. eleven had been able to do since the Goat Hale era. The two platoon system, a new accessory to Rob- bie ' s double wing model, gave the Choc fans and foes plenty to talk about all season. The offensive and defensive team type of play probably reached its peak of efficiency in the Stetson game, a 34-13 vic- tory. David Lee carries the ball behind the rough interference of Micky Decell. Also there can be seen in the picture Fred Bookter on the ground and Herman Wells, number 75, standing. MICKEY DECELLE JOHN MASSEY HOLIS RUTTER MURPHY LOWTHER Mississippi College, 19; Arkansas State, 7 By making their own breaks and playing heads up defen- sive ball, the Choctaws downed a fighting Arkansas State eleven at Clinton in the season opener. Early in the first quarter Jimmy Henderson, sophomore scat back, streaked 40 yards on a shuffle pass to score M. C. ' s first touchdown of the year on his first collegiate play. Massey kicked the extra point. Late in the second quarter Osselmeire, the State ' s outstanding man, set up a marker and then went over himself from the one, leaving the halftime score 7 all. In the third period David Lee tossed an aerial to Howard Sessums on the one and Sessums stepped across for the Tribe ' s second six points. The game was a stalemate until the waning minutes of the fourth quarter when Lee inter- cepted a pass near midfield and, behind good blocking, sprinted to the four. Hal Hughes bulled across to end the nights scoring. Mississippi College, 7; Louisiana College, 27 Playing at Vicksburg, the Choctaws lost their fire and went down under a rough eleven from Louisiana College. It was probably the Braves most miserable night as their offense was stymied and their defense couldn ' t hold. The gridders from Pineville rolled up 20 points in the first half and added 7 more early in the third period. The Indians finally came to life and threatened throughout the remainder of the game. Though they dropped some beau- tiful passes, the Chocs did rack up seven points. Clyde Howard took the ball on the 19 and flashed around left end to score on the best run of the night. Holis Rutter added the extra point. Fred Bookter and Jim Pittman played good defensive ball, but to no avail. Mississippi College, 12; Florida State, 33 On their home field, the Choctaws met the best team they played all season and managed to stay with them for two quarters, but the heavier Seminoles from Florida State wore them down and forged ahead in the last half. The Staters showed the speed and power that gave them a Dixie Conference championship and a victory in the Cigar Bowl. Florida State opened the game by quickly jumping to a 14 point lead before the M. C. aerial attack began to click. I Coach McLeod gets his line men in top condition David Lee ' s passes put the ball on the one and Clyde How- ard raced around left end for the first Choc score. After Roland Wall had intercepted an F. S. U. pass, Lee tossed two long ones to Nit Fulton, the last one complete in the end zone, leaving the half time score 14-12. After the half F. S. U. ' s powerful ground game piled up their imposing lead. Hal Hughes was the leading ground gainer for the Chocs, averaging 7 yards per try against a 200 pound line. Fulton and McCunas were the principle receivers of Lee ' s passes, which netted 150 yards. Mississippi College, 0; Sewanee, 21 Coach Robbie ' s stalwarts left their luck at home when they journeyed to Sewanee, Tenn., to meet the University of the South. The Choctaws outplayed the Tigers in every department but came out on the short end of the score. An Indian fumble on their own 20 led the first Sewanee score. Throughout the remainder of the first half the Chocs ft threatened, penetrating to the 10 three times only to be halted by fumbles and interceptions. During the second half the M. C. eleven continued to threaten, but were never able to score. Sewanee counted twice more for their 21 point margin, both times on interceptions. The difference in statistics was amazing. David Lee and Bryant Smith completed 19 out of 32 passes. Len McCunas and Clyde Howard led the receivers with 7 apiece. All together the Choctaw ' s rolled up 23 first downs to Sewanee ' s 6. Jimmy Coleman, Howard, and Lee headed the ground at- tack, while Herman Wells and Jim Pittman led the defensive team. Mississippi College, 19; Southwestern, 13 The Choctaws, led by their wheel horse, Dave Lee, de- feated South Western of Memphis 19-13 on Robinson Field I in their fifth game of the season. The Indian ' s great fullback, with the aid of a hard charg- ing line, spear-headed by Roland Wilson and Fred Bookter, rolled up 230 yards rushing. Lee scored the first touchdown, Buddy Sanderford the second, and Jimmy Pittman the third. John Massey kicked the lone extra point. South Western scored on two long pass plays. Otherwise they were held completely in check by the defensive team in which Gene Allen, Wade Bass, and James Wilson anchor- ed the line and backs John McDaniel, Tillman Britt, and Bill Cassell stood out. i 4 Clyde Howard carries the ball through enemy territory Mississippi College, 42; Millsaps, 6 The high point of the 1949 football season, so far as the Choctaws were concerned, was reached on the night of November 1, in Tiger Stadium, Jackson, when they stomped the daylights out of their traditional rivals, the Millsaps Majors, beating them by 36 points, the largest margin they had gained since 1922. It was the Choc ' s nineteenth victory out of a twenty-eight game series. Two Jims, Pittman and Coleman, led the six touchdown barrage. Pittman scored twice and passed for another, while Coleman also scored twice and h ad a beautiful 57 yard broken field run called back. Coleman started the fireworks, plunging for the first touchdown after he and Lee had teamed up to place the ball on the two. Midway in the second quarter Pittman grabbed a Millsaps pass on their 41 and went all the way, leaving the half time score 14-0. After the half the Indians shifted into high gear and really got rolling. Lee, Coleman, and Hal Hughes went over and around the hapless Methodists on a 70 yard drive, Coleman scoring from the six. Lee set up the next one, going 32 yards on a fake punt. Pittman passed to Len McCunas in the end zone for the touchdown. Millsaps, greatly aided by penalties, made their only score of the game a few minutes later. Roland Wall was responsible for M. C. ' s next six points. He carried 45 yards on two plays. Pittman banged across from the five. Wall was instrumental in the next touch- down also, traveling 33 yards on three plays. Buddy Sanderford went over from the one with the clock showing 15 seconds to play. Every man on the team played a terrific game. Rooster Case was the big gun defensively, throwing the Major backs for losses time and again. Krout, Bookter, Wells, McGee, Allen, McDaniel, Pittman, and Cassel also aided in thwart- ing the Purple and White offense. The Choctaw offense featured Lee, Wall, Coleman, Hen- derson, Sanderford, Pittman, and Hughes. Wall had a phenomenal 14 yard per try average. Hollis Rutter and Billy Causey kicked three extra points apiece for a perfect score in that department. Big Mike Mul- lin ' s long kickoffs troubled the Majors all night, many almost going into the end zone. Mississippi College, 14; Howard, 19 Playing their second game in five days, a tired band of Choctaws were unable to hold the 14 point lead they had gained in the first quarter and succumbed to the red clad Bulldogs of Howard College. David Lee shot a 25 yard touchdown pass to Buddy San- WADE BASS BILL CASSEL JAMES COLEMAN ARNOLD GOUDEN I I 38 derford to start things rolling. On the following kickoff, Roland Wilson recovered the ball for the Chocs on How- ard ' s 16. Len McCunas carried 7 yards on an end around A personal foul against the Bulldogs placed the ball on the one. Jim Henderson cracked the right side of the line for 6 points. Hollis Rutter kicked both conversions perfectly and the Braves led 14-0. Howard scored 12 points on a sustained drive and a pass interception before halftime. This was M.C. ' s homecoming game and Robinson held was the scene of the crowning of Martha Jean May as homecoming queen. After the ceremony Howard scored on a drive featuring two long passes. The rest of the game was a stalemate, with neither team able to accomplish much. Besides a victory, the Indians lost the services of Dave Lee, Clyde Howard, and Bill Cassel. Cassel was lost for the season with a broken collar bone. Roland Wall, Hal Hughes, Lee. Sanderford, and Coleman were the offensive leaders. Wade Bass, Swede Henrikson, John Massey, and John McDaniel were the defensive stand- outs. Wayne Sanderford smashes the line as Lindy Magee performs the task of blocking Mississippi College, 7; East Texas, 14 Journeying to Marshall, Texas, the Choctaws lost a heart- breaker to East Texas College. Playing without the services of offensive fullback Dave Lee, the Braves were edged 14-7 by the Texans. Th game was extremely rough and marred by penalties and personal fouls. The field was muddy and the officiating was unusual, to put it mildly. After a scoreless first half, the Texans, who outweighed the Chocs by a large margin, carried across from the three, where they had pounced on a M.C. fumble. They scored again early in the fourth quarter on a blocked punt. With five minutes to go, the Choctaw offense caught the fire their defense had had all night. Milben Rogers quarter- backed a 75 yard scoring drive that featured Jim Pittman plunging from full, and Buddy Sanderford and Jimmy Hen- derson circling the ends and going over tackle. Henderson scored from the four and Holis Rutter ' s placement was per- fect. The Braves blocked a punt and took over on their 40. Pittman threw to Henderson for 20 yards. As Henderson fell a Texan kicked him in the face. The resulting penalty placed the ball on the 25. Wall carried to the five, and then to the one before time ran out. The Choctaw defense, spearheaded by James and Eill Wilson, Wade Bass, John Massey, and Bill Roberts, played a tremendous game. The Texans were thrown for losses time and again, and were able to score rnly on two breaks. BILL GUNN JOHN EARHART TILMAN BRITT CLYDE HOWARD The team is ready for an offensive play MILBEN ROGERS LEONARD MACUNAS BILL CAUSEY SAM McGAUGH JOHN NILER Easily discernible in this picture are the following players: James Henderson, 21; Tilman Britt, 25; Roland Wall. 23; John Massey, 62; James Pittman. 26; Gene Allen, 52; Robert McRae. 71; James Wilson, 72; Charles Krout, 81; and Wade Bass, 76. Mississippi College, 34; Stetson, 13 Robbie ' s boys wound up the season in a blaze of glory as they crushed Stetson University ' s Halters 34-13 at Daytona Beach, Florida. Led by brilliant Dave Lee, the Choctaws played their best game of the season as they racked up 472 yards and 19 first downs. In the first four minutes of the game they reeled off 14 points, scoring the first 7 points after Stetson fumbled the kick off on their 30. Lee shot a 20 yard pass to Bill Gunn and then plunged over for the touchdown. Billy Causey kicked the first of the four conversions he made dur- ing the night. Minutes later the M. C. forward wall stopped an attempted Hatter punt and recovered the ball on the 34. Hal Hughes smashed to the 25 and Jim Pittman tossed one to Len McCunas, who snatch- ed the ball from two green clad men and went into the end zone. Sftetson came right back to score, but it was to no avail, for Lee reared back and passed 33 yards to Nit Fulton for six more points. The Hatters, trying to stay in the ball game, scored just before the half on a pitchout play that covered 44 yards, leaving the halftime score 21-13. Early in the third guarter Jim Coleman took a shuffle pass from Lee and dashed 20 yards to the 3. Lee plunged over for his second touchdown. Later in the same period Jim Henderson brought the crowd to their feet with a 60 yard dash down the west side lines before he was forced out on the 15. Stetson then held for a time. After an exchange of punts M. C. got the ball on Stetson ' s 35. Lee carried the ball five out of six plays, going over from the one foot line. Aided by a great offensive line, headed by Bill Gunn and T. T. Dearing, Lee scored three touchdowns and gained 135 yards rushing, and one touchdown and 103 yards passing. Defensively the Wilson boys, James and Bill, and John Massey set the pace. Tillman Britt and Billy Roberts backed them up while Clyde Howard played a great game at safety. However, it was a team triumph. From start to finish, offensively and defensively, Choctaws played heads up, letter perfect ball and they completely dominated the whole game. f ' v - it ■ Clyde Howard (22), Bill Gunn (85), and Wayne Sanderford (59) make it rough for the opposing team. 79 SCHEDULE Dec. 5 — Miss.

In conference play they had a 5-5 record and out- scored their conference opponents in total points 536 to 522. Highlight of the year was their clean sweep of the four game Millsaps series. The first game was close all the way, in fact, the only game in which the Braves had a comfortable margin was the second one. The third game was a 45-41 thriller that was not won until the closing seconds, as was the final game, in which the Chocs ran up a 15 point halftime lead and staved off a desperate second half threat to down the Majors 60-51. Joe Baby Stratton, 6 ' 4 center, led the Redskins all year, finishing the season with a 16 point-per-game average, despite being hindered by a knee injury from Jan. 13 — Miss.

Stratton ' s height made him ever dan- gerous on ti p offs and under the baskets and his ac- curate set shots made him a threat from anywhere on the floor. Teaming with Joe most of the year were forwards, Howard Sessums, and J. C. Graves, and guards, Bob Smith and Murray Beard. Since Sessums was th.e only regular from the previous year, one explanation for the fact that the team did not hit its stride until late in the season could be that the Chocs were not used to work- ing together. Stratton and Sessums led the scoring in most of the games, aided several times by Beard and Smith. Graves, the fireball of the team, was a specialist in intercepting passes and bothering his opponents at all times. Smith and Beard, with help from Stratton, controlled the backboards in almost every game played. John McPhail, Walter Ahrens, Ben Kitchings, and Glenn Wells saw plenty of action, aided at times by THE TRAVELING TEAM First row: Alfred Skinner, J. C. Graves, Walter Ahrens, Howard Sessums.

Skinner was the B team ace who came up late in the season. The Choctaws opened the 24 game schedule with a two game series against Florida State in Tallahassee. They dropped the first one and were narrowly edged in the second game. They then met a strong Pensacola Navy team and were turned back decisively. Florence State Teachers of Alabama, spoiled the Braves home opener. Louisiana Tech followed their ex- ample and also defeated the Chocs in Louisiana before the Christmas holidays. Immediately after St. Nicks day, Leffy ' s boys began their annual northern tour. They met three of the na- tion ' s top teams in Akron. John Carroll and Buffalo, and were soundly thrashed each game. However, they did gain valuable experience and defeated Detroit Tech in their last game in Yankeeland. A good time was had by all, despite the defeats, and the Indians returned to the reservation in fine spirits. Back on their home court the Choctaws played spirit- ed ball against the Pensacola Sailors who had previously crushed them, and almost upset the swabbies, only to be edged in the waning seconds — 65-62. This was perhaps the best game of the season for the Indians. After the first of the Millsaps games, the M.

Millsaps was beaten once more in the City Auditorium in Jackson before the Tribe met the high scoring Bears of Mercer. A smooth working outfit and leaders of the Dixie Conference, the Bears had to turn on the pressure to beat the inspired Chocs, who threatened most of the way only to fall behind in the closing minutes. A tense moment during Undaunted by the heartbreaking loss to Mercer, the M. C. quintet came back for a four game win streak, their longest of the season. They edged the University of the South combine from Sewanee, Tenn., defeated Millsaps twice, and swamped Oglethorpe of Georgia. The season closed with a two game road trip into Alabama and Tennessee where they lost two close ones by identical scores, 63-58, to Sewanee and Florence State Teacher ' s, leaving only the Dixie Conference Tournament on the roster, the Millsaps game The Choctaws play Mercer University J.

M W . ■ pgpalMM Miller breaks the tape for a Choctaw win Sessums strains for extra inches in the broad jump Spring found an aggregation of athletes once more pounding the cinders in preparation for an ambitious schedule of track and field. With several experienced lettermen and promising newcomers, the outlook was op- timistic for Coach Fulton ' s thinclads. The first opponents of the season were probably the toughest. Arkansas State took the Chocs to the cleaners at Clinton with a final Q3Vz to 521 2 count. The Chocs placed second in a triangular meet among M. C., Sewanee, and Southwestern. Our boys then con- quered Florida State (701 2 to 60 V 2 ) and Howard College (67 to 64). The climax of the season came when the hot- foots placed second in th.e first annual Dixie Conference Meet conducted in Macon, Georgia. Outstanding individual performers were: Sugar Green, high score man of the season; Hatton, 100 and 220 yard dashes; Sessums, 100 yard dash and low hur- dles; Stribling, Cassel, Tulloh, Miller, relay men.

During the first two terms of the current school year the Arrowhead was under the efficient leadership of Miss Dorothy Dorris of Portland, Tennessee. Because Miss Dorris was graduated second term it was necessary to elect a successor to serve as editor the last two terms. Elected to this position of honor and responsibility was Albert Roberts from Brandon, Mississippi. It was with capability that Albert performed the duties of this office. There have been four interesting editions of the Arrowhead this year. The purposes of this magazine are to give voice to the students in every department of instruction at Mississippi College, to stimulate the creative talents of students and to put these talents to work for the betterment of the school. HAINON MILLER Business Manager Mississippi COLLEGIAN LEON SMITH Editor of the Collegian Without the aid of Mr. Albert T. Scroggins, M. C. ' s new professor of journal- ism, the Collegian would never have succeeded as it did. The staff of the 1949-50 Collegian can only hope that they followed his advice to the extent that they might have had a part in the development of a department of journal- ism on the campus of Mississippi College. The Collegian, through the entire year, felt that it still had much growing room; yet what endeavor without a dream or a goal ever made even the first step toward a vision of perfection? Mistakes, blunders, and errors occurred, but despite unavoidable situations that could not be overcome, the Collegian staff did its best to present campus activities and all college endeavors in as complete a picture as possible.

During the school year, all the named people on this page have labored hard to put forth that weekly masterpiece, the Collegian. The newspaper is a blending of the efforts of each one of them; each deserve much commendation for the writing, typing, make-up work, or whatever he or she attempted. The Collegian, as any other endeavor, functions as a result of co-operation, and though slack times did appear during the year on the work of the paper, the paper always came out regularly and promptly.

The council is composed of appointed faculty members, the President, Vice-President and Attorney of the Student Body, and the editors and business managers of the TRIBESMAN, Arrow- head, and Collegian. During the current year Professor Scroggins has served as the chairman of the council, and Mrs. Lips.ey has served as secretary. Characterized by an attitude of co-opera- tion, the council has served as a clearing house for all matters of mutual interest of the campus publications. This year for the first time we have had on the faculty a Professor of Journalism. This position has been .efficiently filled by Professor Scroggins. Because of his constructive criticism and helpful attitude, his contributions to each of the publications have been invaluable. It is our sincere hope that the establishment of a Department of Journalism is the beginning of a movement that will culminate in the integration of the student publications under direct faculty control. Through such integration it is our belief that improvement on th.e quality of the publications will be possible.

Volunteer Mission Band Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them saying. All power is given unto me in heaven and earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: And, Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. In order that the Lord ' s Kingdom might be advanced, and in order that there might be on the campus a medium through which w.e may respond to the commission of our Savior, there is among the religious organizations the Volunteer Mission Band. The Band is made up of students who meet weekly to hear reports concerning mission activities, to pray, and to participate in inspirational programs. Using the school as a base, the Volunteer Mission Band centers its mis- sionary efforts in the vicinity of Jackson. OFFICERS GLENN MERRILL President LURLINE MARTIN Pianist JIM PAT SPELL ....
