R. Pearce, a man with concern for today and striving through us to build a better tomorrow, we dedicate this, the 1954 Tribesman. % ' AfINISTRA TIG THE PRESIDENT DOTSON MoCINNIS NELSON, Ph.D., LL.D.

The athletic department at Mississippi College has long been noted for the fine young men which it produces. This year has been no exception. Under the capable leadership of Ath- letic Director and Head Coach Stanley L. Robinson and his assistants Wilson “Lefty” Fulton and James “Stute” Allen, the Choctaws have produced winning teams in all the major sports, with the football and the track teams being acclaimed Dixie Conference champions. The bas- ketball team, at the time this goes to press, also has its eyes on the title crown. The main objective of the department is not only to produce winning teams, but to mold those boys who participate in the various sports into mature men and clean sportsmen. Mississippi College athletes play not for money or for fame, but for the mere love of the game and for the fellowship they have one with another. When a coaching staff can take a relatively inexperienced group of boys and shape them into conference champions, then one can visualize the capacity of the coaches and the determination of the players. The athletic department is not limited to boys only. Under the direction of Mrs. Beula Cleveland, a well-rounded athletic program for girls has been established with intra-mural participation being required. They hold as their belief that a healthy physical body is an im- portant as a healthy spiritual development. The cheerleaders have always been a great contribution toward Choctaw victories and toward the building of school spirit. This year they have done a remarkable job toward sup- porting our winning athletic squads. Congratulations to head cheerleader Anita “Dood” Tew and assistants Lera Bowen, Pat Price, Louise Touchstone. Jimmy Vessell, Ken Orso, Boo Boothe, and Kenneth Duke.

Traveling to the Mexican capitol w ith only two weeks of practice behind them, the Braves found the going rough and were defeated 34 to 20 after enjoying what seemed to be a substantial 20 to 7 halftime advantage. The well-conditioned University eleven made hash of the Choctaws poor JACK MASS Fullback F. L.

Mississippi College, 19; Austin, 19 The Choctaws went back out west the following week, this time stopping off in Sher- man, Texas, to tangle with the Austin College Kangaroos. It was another rough encoun- ter for the Blue and Gold, but they fought back with determination plus to overcome an early 7 to 0 Kangaroo first period lead to tie the Texans 19 to 19. The hosts drew first blood, but the Chocs fought back to knot the count at seven all at halftime. The Braves went ahead 13 to 7 in the third period, but the Kangies were not to be overcome, and opened up an unstopable downfield drive to tie the score at 13 to 13. Big Jack Bass put the Choctaws back in the spotlight a few minutes later when he sprinted 36 yards for another six points to give the visitors a 19 to 13 edge. Austin again displayed that they had no intention of dropping this first game between these two schools and broke through the Choc defense for another six points to deadlock the score at 19 to 19. Mississippi College, 20; Southwestern, 0 In their first appearance before a home town crowd the Braves turned on the steam to defeat the visiting Southwestern Lynx 20 to 0.

Bass started the scoring fireworks for the evening when he tallied from seven yards out after Gore and Sammy Anderson had moved it down to that point. Gore increased the lead to 12 to 0 at halftime when he crossed pay dirt on a beautiful 46 yard run.

Captain Fred Morris increased the lead to 12 points when he hit pay dirt from four yards out, with Ernest Albritton booting the extra point to make it 13 to 0. Bass set up the final six points when he got loose on a 44 yard jaunt that moved the pigskin to the visitors six. Gore carried around end for the score and Albriton again split the uprights to give the Choctaws their twenty points. the third period, but Bass came busting hack in the fourth to break loose on a 50 yard TD run. Morris received credit for the final local score by driving over the double line from the two. Albrtton’s kick was good and the Chocs led 25 to 0. The Bulldogs scored their only six pointer with less than two minutes remaining in the game when a pass in- terference penalty on the Chocs put the ball on the seven. Billy Joe Lovvorn heaved a short aerial to halfback Conrad McCray who went the short distance for the tally. Mississippi College, 14; Sewanee, 12 The Choctaws traveled up into the mountain section of Tennessee for their next tilt, and returned home with win number three in their hats by skimming the Sewanee Uni- versity Tigers 14 to 12, thanks to the trained toes of Jim Mangum and Jack Bass. The Griffin and Albritton lead interference for Gore on 46 yard TD run in Howard game. r HX 1 4 Chocs enjoyed a 7 to 6 halftime lead due to a powerful goal line drive spearheaded by Bass. The Braves added their other seven by taking the second half kick-off and march ing 65 yards for a touchdown with quarterback Mangum tossing to right end Kenneth Halford for the score. Mangum split the uprights for the extra point. Mississippi College, 20; Millsaps, 19 The Choctaws regained their gridiron supremacy over the Majors and garnered their first Dixie Conference championship title by downing their ancient rivals 20 to 19 in a thrill packed battle in Tiger Stadium. The Choctaws took a 7 to 0 lead in the first quarter after Major Glenn Cain fumbled Bobby Dottley s punt on his 23. On the second scrim- mage play Bass raced through a big hole at left tackle and dashed into the end zone standing up. Albritton’s kick was good. Millsaps scored their first TD in the second period on a pass that went from Cain to John Lowery in the end zone. The kick was wide and the Chocs led 7 to 6 at intermission. Morris scored the next MC touchdown by 108 sweeping left end. bowling over would-be tacklers, and falling across for the score. Mill- saps tied it up a few minutes later when Lowery went over tackle for the score and Red Powell booted the point. The Choctaws retaliated, however, and Gore smashed over for the payolf TD after Morris and Bass had moved it to the five. Bass converted. The Saps came within one point of tying it up in the final period when Powell passed to Lowery who outran the Choc secondary to the end zone. The kick was blocked and the Choctaws had won their first Dixie Conference title in history and their first game over the Majors in two years. Mississippi College, 39; Hendrix, 13 The Choctaws closed their home season with an easy victory over the Hendrix War- riors before a sparse Saturday evening crowd. It was the Braves all the way from the opening kick-off to the closing whistle, as they ground out one touchdown in the first quarter, two in the second, two in the third, and one in the final quarter. Morris scored the first on a four yard smash over tackle, and then added another a few minutes later on a 12 yard trek around left end. Albritton’s kick was good. The Choctaws hit paydirt again when Mangum passed to Halford, who went into the end zone for the six points. Gore and Dan Dubose ran the score to 37 in the third period on runs of 10 and 7 yards each, with Mangum converting twice. Ed Bridges added the sixth MC score on a eight yard plunge in the final four minutes. Mississippi College, 14; Ouachita, 19 The Ouachita Tigers stained a otherwise successful season for the Braves when they edged them 19 to 14 in the season final in the closing four seconds on a desperation pass. Bass opened the scoring shortly before the end of the first half on a 60 yard TD run, and Albritton added the extra point. Ouachita tied it up at 7 to 7 in the third period with Lamar Watkins banging over from the five and then add the point after. The Tigers took the lead later in the quarter as Pete Fulford crossed over on a pass play. Waller King blocked the attempted conversion. Gore again tied things up with a six pointer and Al- britton pushed the Chocs out front on his conversion. The Choctaws then kicked off and suffered three consecutive 15 yard penalties, and with only four seconds remaining in the game Woods pitched to Watkins for the game clincher. B A S K E T B A L L msm JAMES “STUTE” ALLEN Coach Sessums attempts field goal from out front in second Millsaps game. Basketball was fast losing its prominence around Mississippi College until Coach James “Stute” Allen and a host of junior college grads and transfers made their appearance on the scene. Now, it is probably the leading sport on the campus, drawing some of the largest crowds ever to assemble in Alumni Hall. When the initial call to practice was issued, only three lettermen were on hand, but the court was swamped with junior college stars and senior college transfers. Coach Allen, a top cage mentor for many years at Clinton High, took these newcomers and moulded them into one of the strongest basketball teams ever to grace a Choctaw court. Leading the list of junior college stars was All-American Howard Sessums from East Central, the school that won the state Junior College title last year and finished fourth in the nation. Following Sessums from East Central were J. P. Hurst, a former All-Star performer in the Army; Ed Castles, a regular for ECJC, and sophomore forward Henrman Robinson. Jones Junior College furnished the Choctaws with forward Randall Boone, 110 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Mississipp College. . . . . 55; Memphis Navy . 60 Mississipp College. . . . . 73; Arkansas St. Teachers. . . 74 Mississipp College. . . . . 73; Hendrix . 56 Mississipp College. . . . . 89: Ouachita . 78 Mississipp College. . . . . 67; Arkansas St. Teachers. . . 53 Mississipp College. . . . . 85; Louisiana College . 73 Mississipp College. . . . . 90; Louisiana College . 54 Mississipp College. . . . . 76; Northeast La.

Mississippi Southern and Millsaps came to the Robinson Field oval for the Braves next meet and both returned home in defeat. The local thinclads had 74 points to show against Southern’s 69 and Millsaps’ 19. The final scheduled meet of the year found the Braves pitted against a strong Southeastern Con- ference squad, the University of Mississippi Reb- els. The Choctaws didn’t let the big name scare them and handed the S.E.C. fellows a 71 1 2 to 59 V 2 licking. The Choctaws received their big test of the year when Mercer, Howard and Millsaps came to Hal Lee goes up and over during Howard meet. Dye breaks the string to take first place in the mile run in meet against Mississippi Southern. Clinton for the Dixie Conference meet. The Mer- cer Bears were the defending champions and for a while it looked as if they would again take the conference title. But the Braves were not to be de- nied, and both teams were going into the final event, the mile relay, neck and neck. The Choc- taws relayers were determined to take possession of the crown and Johnny Miller, Johnny Taylor, Claude Holland and Claude Bruton teamed up to circle the four laps in 3:29.1 minutes to give the Chocs a sure first place and a new relay record time. Mississippi College wound up with 73 points, Mercer had 69, Howard received 59 and Millsaps a low of 17. The Braves shattered four conference records in the thrilling meet. Paul Brown established a new two-mile record by touring the distance in 10:03:5 minutes. Bill King set new records in both the shot-put and the discus by heaving the shot 43 feet 10y 2 inches and slinging the discus 132 feet 6 4 inches. The relay team also broke the old record. Mississippi College also holds the record in the mile run, with Hainon Miller traveling the four laps in 4:32.5 minutes, and Joe Murphy is the holder of the low hurdles in a time of 25.4 seconds.

Included in the nine victories were four successive wins over the rival Millsaps Majors. In the infield the Choctaws had returning letter- men Bobby Pittman. Lewis Myers, and Billy Hunter at first, second, and shortstop respectively. Behind the plate they had a returnee in Richard Buckley, while on the mound Fred Morris and Mike Brabham were the only hurlers reporting from the strong ‘52 squad. Patroling the outfield most of the year were Jim Goff. Doc Gandy and Tubby Black, with help being received from Charles Ballard and Bill Lowe. For reserve strength in the infield the Choctaws had Cornell Daughtry, Milton Pittman. Art Murphy, and Jim Mangum. Sharing the chores with Morris and Brabham from the pitching slab were Hugh Ar- naud, Ray Heard. Bob Jones, Dewey Sanford, and Lefty Freeman. The Braves had five Dixie Conference wins and one tie out of eight games. They held four victories over Millsaps by the scores of 3-0, 12-8. 4-3, and 11-6, and after dropping their first game to Howard 13 to 2. the Chocs got revenge by licking them 17 to 9 the following day. The Choctaws broke even in their double bill contest with the Florida Southern Semi- noles, losing the opener 8 to 4 and tieing the night- cap 3 to 3. The Choctaws’ twenty-one game schedule included three big time schools. In the tihrd outing of the year the Chocs dropped a heartbreaker to Mississippi Southern in Hattiesburg 7 to 6.

The Mississippi College tennis team went through one of its most unsuccessful seasons this past year, winning only one while dropping eight matches. Un- der the direction of Dr. Robert Spiro, the Choctaws went through some mighty tough matches and lost many by only one or two point margins. The Braves got off to a rather bad start by drop- ping their opening two matches to the arch rival Millsaps Majors by scores of 8 to 1. They next tan- gled with the powerful Mississippi State Maroons, state champions in ’52, and were whitewashed 9 to 0. After dropping to the S.E.C. team, the Delta State Statesmen invaded the campus and returned to Cleveland with a 5 to 4 victory. Mississippi College then traveled to Hattiesburg to meet the Mississippi Southern netters and were defeated 6 V 2 to 2 . In a return match the following week, the Southerners dropped the Chocs 5 to 4 in one of their best con- tests of the year. Delta State again furnished the opposition on April 20, this time on their home courts, and the Choctaws defeated them 6 to 3 for their first and only win of the season. April 27-29 found the Choctaws participating in the annual State Tournament at Hattiesburg, which was won by the defending champions, Mississippi State. In their last two scheduled meets of the year, the Millsaps netters handed the Chocs double de- feats by the scores of 8 to 1 and 6 to 3. In the Dixie Conference tournament held in Jack- son, the Braves finished last in a field of five candi- dates with seven points. Florida Southern took the title with 19 points, followed by Mercer with 16. Mill- saps with 14 and Howard wtih eight.

T f ill I The Preamble — “The first choral group at Mississippi College was organized and sponsored by Mrs. A. J. Aven, wife of the beloved Dr. A. J. Aven, who for many years was professor of Latin. Mrs. Aven left a rich and beautiful Christian her- itage which we, the members of the Choir, wish to perpetuate. Believing that Christ and His truth shall be the center of every activity on the Mississippi College campus, the Chorale Choir shall dedicate itself to the purpose of spreading His spirit in every concert or program on which it appears.” With this ideal as a guiding spirit, the Choir has gained an enviable reputation for its inter- pretation of the great sacred choral literature. Rehearsal scene It serves the student body through a personal participation and it stands ever ready to assist in student productions. CHOIR First Row Peggy Taylor.

Because of the rapidly ex- panding choral program of Mississippi College, this new choir was organized to enlarge the op- portunity for participation for all students who desire experience and training in this field. The Old Chapel “lives again” as this group of enthusiastic and consecrated young people meet there to learn and to acquire mastery of the principles of good choral technique so as to in- crease their own joy in singing and to be able to render greater service to others.

Each Thursday night at 7:30, the regular weekly meeting of the V.M.B. is held in the Student Center where Christ-centered programs, well-known youth speakers, and Christian films challenge stu- dents to surrender their all to the Master. Eight student mission trips each week to hospitals, jails, and training schools in the Jackson area pro- vide a real opportunity for witnessing. It is in this realm that the V.M.B. renders its greatest service in leading students to become better soul winners for our Lord in following His command: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to all people.” OFFICERS GEORGE DYE President TOE POWELL Vice President FRANCES McILVAIN Secretary SARA ANN BULLOCK Treasurer TED WITCHEN Chorister MARY BETH AINSWORTH Pianist BILL COURRINGTON Publicity Chairman PATSY KELLEY Program Chairman JOHN TUCKER Follow-up Chairman POINT CHAIRMEN MARTHA LU SUMRALL Crippled Childrens Home ELIZABETH ADAMS Veterans Hospital LOUISE REEVES Charity Hospital WESLEY ELLIS Oakley Training School LANELLE MARTIN Old Ladies Home HENRY INGRAM Old Mens Home RAY BATEMON City Jail NORMAN DEATON County Jail MARY HIX Community Hospital Sunday School at Old Ladies’ Home.

The weekly meetings, designed to give students knowledge of and experience in, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, debate and other forensic activi- ties, have drawn more and more students through the well planned programs and the al- ways open invitation to all to participate in the activities of the Philomatheans. The Society, long established as one of the great lights in the Beacon of Mississippi Col- lege, has won recognition of its members, through their splendid work on debate teams and in other speech contests; and in forging ahead in leadership on the campus in student activities and projects. The Society, though the oldest organization, shall live the longest and shall uphold the spirit which stands for the students of our beloved College.

President Ralph Atkinson employed the capable talents of his fellow officers and Hermenians, undertaking in- formative programs, lively debates, and needed projects. Hermenian members are active in all phases of school life, placing special interest on debate and speech activities. Garnering a third place spot in the homecoming parade activities, the Hermenians have an activated interest in the welfare of Mississippi College. Many state leaders are proud to be Hermenian alumni. The Society continues this year, as ever, to furnish practical leadership training for Choc- taws.

Promoting fellowship among students with similar interests, the club keeps its members well-informed through excellent programs and interesting discus- sions. Of special note wa s the unique Pre Med float in the Millsaps-M. C. Parade. PRE-MEDICAL SOCIETY One of the more fascinating studies made by these future doctors occurred during the fall session when a small dog, hit by a passing car on the highway, was carried by a crew of would-be sawbones to a nearby vet, where treatment and splints were applied — sav- ing the hound for future cat-chasing days.
