Walker, one of the memorable few walking the pathway of men to whom the word great may be applied. We dedicate this, the 1955 Tribesman . K it. 14 DR. F. T. WALKER Joe Thomas Odle (1935-1955) Never in the history of Mississippi College has a single occasion so completely satu- rated, united, or grievously affected the Student Body as the sudden illness and passing of Joe Thomas Odle, Class of 1956. His superior intelligence was highly respected; his unparalleled ability was eagerly fol- lowed; his devoted friendship was deeply cherished; his Christ-like spirit was universally loved. Joe fulfilled his mission in twenty years. The memory of his unselfish service is its greatest monument . I go to pre pare a place for you. And if I go, I will omc again, and receive you unto myself, that where I m fhrre ve mav be also . . . sleep on now, and take Garnett F. Barnes (1888-1954) Garnett F. Barnes was a remarkable man. He devoted his sixty-six years to unstinting service to Christian education. He himself was the personification of his ideals, and those of his Master. Warmly personable and hospitable, he endeared himself to his stu- dents and to his colleagues. The door of his home and the door of his heart were always open. His brilliant career in science will be long remembered. His dynamic life will always be deeply loved, and sorely missed.

C. , the student council, under the able leadership of President Johnny Lee Taylor, has cooperated in all forms of student activities. Not only has the council fostered the social and cultural life of the campus through its parties, student productions, and chapel programs, but also has engendered better unity within the student body. Composed of the elected student body officers, class presidents and representatives, it has carried out its duties efficiently, welcoming any suggestions from the students. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE STEOEST GOVERNMENT 28 WOMEN S STllim GOVERNMENT The Women ' s Student Government, the governing body of the girls on the campus, is composed of the Executive Coun- cil, which includes the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, is elected by the women students to direct and represent them in campus activities. Under the leadership of President Betty Joyce Upton, this group has functioned this year both efficiently and democratic- ally.

DOCUMENTING M. C. That those leaving the Fairest of all this year may look back in the future to feel a warm nostalgia is the purpose and hope of all those who present to the Student Body this 1955 TRIBESMAN. We are humbly grateful to all whose names appear on the opposite page, plus a score who are not mentioned, for making possible this, the largest and finest TRIBESMAN ever published from Miss- issippi College. We are especially grateful to you, the Student, for your share in making this truly the greatest year of our lives. JWD 31 Having for a long time suffered the throes of a growing college newspaper, this year ! s COLLEGIAN has been a peacemaker in the field of the southern collegiate journalism. Under the capable ed- itorship of Martha Ann Smith and the superior work of business manager Glenn Vernon, the COLLEGIAN has proven herself true to purpose in providing the students with complete weekly coverage of the news, plus a field of experience and expression for the budding journalist or embryonic literary writer . The exceptionally outstanding editorials; the delightful features; the provocative presentation of all the news; these have commanded the respect of the student body and contributed immeasurably to the M.C. spirit.

THE ARROWHEAD departed from its heritage as a compound of the two, and made a sincere attempt to sink or swim in the literary puddle. Taking on a new format, THE ARROWHEAD published its initial revamped edition under the title Mississippi Writers ' Issue . Articles ranged from the survey of state authors to an interview with Eudora Welty. The Winter edition displayed the serious creative work of Mississippi College students. The quality of the publication improved with the Spring issue, featuring the winners in the annual ARROWHEAD literary contest. Ralph Atkinson held the editorial reins, while John Compere handled the financial department as Business Manager. URIlWHEill 35 Dr. Louis E. Dollarhide Chairman PIIBLICJTIOmS COUNCIL Made up of faculty and student members, the Publications Council meets each month to review the progress of campus publications, to consider any problems relating to these publications, and to offer ad- vice and encouragement to the editors and business managers of the publications. It is the duty of the Council to see that the publications are well staffed and efficiently managed, and that the material pre- sented conforms to the general high standard expected of a Mississippi College production.

Each year the Robed Choir makes trips outside the state, visiting cities in Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida. The Robed Choir has earned a place of distinction in the life of Mississippi College through the services rendered in both participation in stu- dent production and public concerts. Since organization of the Choir in 1944, it has traveled thousands of miles singing hundreds of concerts. It is not the miles traveled or concerts sung that count most.

At various times throughout the year the two ensembles have ap- peared jointly in musical programs. From each en- semble, quartets have been selected which have made numerous appearances over the state. The ensembles have performed invaluable service to M. C. as they have rendered musical programs to civic clubs, churches, associational and state church meet- ings, and other schools. i The Baptist Student Union is a movement on college campuses which seeks to en- list students for the cause of Christ. It has often been called the connecting link between the college campus and the local Baptist Church. The program of the Bap- tist Student Union is planned and carried out through an executive council with the cooperation of all campus religious organizations. A year-round program of activi- ties including winning of the lost, Christian growth emphasizing Bible study and prayer, and social activities is promoted on the Mississippi College campus and similarly on hundreds of other campuses throughout the South. § • • FIRST ROW: Carol Quinn, Fred Otte, Juanita Shoe- maker, Lenno Powell, Jean Pittman, Ray Bate- man, Susan Jackson.

Interest in forming a Westminster Fellowship at Mississippi College began with the reorganization of the Mt. Salus Presbyterian Church in Clinton in 1952. This church, originally established in 1828, played a prominent partin the early history of M.C., which was operated by the Presbyterians between 1842 and 1850. ! - ml Vaughan Earl Hartsell MX , w.

Sessums also holds the high marks in the number of free throws shot and scored in one season and in one game. 5 He hit on 240 of 290 pitchesduring the 1954-55 season and on 27 out of 29 in the Delta State Contest. . Sessums also ranked fourth in the nation small college scoring circles with a 30 96 aver- age per game and sixth in the nation in free throw percentage with a 82. 7 mark.

Southern, Hazlehurst Mississippi College in general, and Coach W. W. Lefty Fulton in particular, consistently produce the south ' s finest runners, and these two years have been no exception. Lefty ' s leg and weight men walked off last year with the Dixie Confer- ence Track Trophy. Adding to their long list of laurels, the distance men copped the coveted Southern AAU cross-country prize in the currant season. Losing its first match by a narrow margin to Southern, M.

IllfU — -AID TE1IHS MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE TRACK SCHEDULE 1955 The 1955 net season is just getting under- way as this goes to press. Having won their first match, over Northeast La. (their first victory in two seasons), the Chocs are hope- ful and optimistic toward a winning season. By virtue of challenge round play, Sonny Lanford, a sophomore and a former state doubles champion, is playing No. 1 singles with Quinn Rowell in the second spot. Both Langford and Rowell are in their first season of competition at Mississippi College. The only returning lettermen from last season, Ken Toler .and Jimmy Vessel, are playing three and four with transfer Wyndell Varner and freshman Dick Saunders in the fifth and sixth spots. JoeKellum, another newcomer, and freshman Charley Davis round out the squad. Langford and Rowell will team up to play the No. One doubles with the veterans Toler and Vessel paired for the second duo. Kel- lum and Davis will probably make up the third doubles combination. Van Dyke Quick is managing the tennis team under the direction oi Jimmy Allen, head basketball coach. 18 Miss.
