Though our tribute is modest in comparison to the admiration and honors bestowed upon him by his innumerable friends, it is without reservation in its sincerty and good wishes. His has been a search for the highest in standards and has spared no effort to bring before his classes the noblest and most inspiring thoughts of great men living and dead — seeking always to impart those ideals in proper relation to the lives and ambitions of his students. We, the TRIBESMAN staff of 1956, dedicate this annual to our world touring professor, Dr. Robert Harry Spiro, Jr., a careful scholar, a con- scientious teacher, and a considerate friend. ‘DedMittoH ADMimninui respected authority • Christian guidance friendly encouragement k v LOVE is immortal: ' ' this BOULDER IS ERECTED BV the MISSISSIPPI COLLECT RIFLES CHAPTER J D C.

C. In the first game of the season a light but speedy University of Mex- ico team quickly stepped to an early lead and brought a 28-7 victory over the Mississippi College Choctaws. The lack of oxygen caused by the 7,500 foot altitude of Mexico City slowed down the Choctaws as they were not used to it. Ken Toler hit Charles Bryan with a seven yard touchdown pass for the lone Mississippi College score. The Pumas Gus- tavo Patino and Juan Romero captured the spotlight for the Latin- American neighbors and led their team to victory.

Early in the first quarter Bill Gore kicked a 23 yard field goal to put the Chocs ahead.

In the last quarter Jim Mangum hit end John Williams with a 19 yard touchdown pass for the Chocs final six pointer. Bill Gore con- verted for all the points after touchdown behind the protection of a determined Brave line.

The Majors scored first and by the half they held a 14-6 edge over the Blue and Gold men. Then the Choctaws led by quarterback Ken Toler and halfback Sonny Emerson began to score. The Major lead was cut to 14-12 by a touch- down plunge by Emerson. Then, in a story book finish with only minutes left in the game, Emerson scampered 41 yards behind the beautiful blocking of his fellow Chocs to score the winning touchdown. As an anti- climax, the stubborn Choctaw line rose up and stopped the Majors within 4 yards of pay dirt with less than a minute left to play. Every man played a terrific brand of football with Ken Toler masterfully leading the Chocs to this important victory. The forward wall holds again DELTA STATE 41; M.

A GREAT SEASON OF BASKETBALL bob huckaby All American After the departure of Howard Sessums, Guyton Henry, and the Fabulous Five which marked a new era in Mississippi College basketball during the 1 954-55 seasons, head cage mentor Jimmy Allen was content to let the 1956 campaign be his year for rebuilding with four out of five regulars departed from the 1955 team. Only Bob Huckaby, the 6 ' 5 gentle giant from Bogue Chitto, and Mississippi Col- lege ' s rabid round ball fans, win-happy from Allen ' s first two seasons when the Chocs ran up 41 victories in fifty games, were resigned to the prospects of mediocre season. To make the picture even darker the ambitious Chocs, having been dropped by their perennial small college foes, were forced to play the toughest schedule in the history of the school. JAMES ALLEN Coach MICKEY McGUIRE junior college competitor, transferred from East Central, Wayne Lee came in from Southern and little Freddie Hutton, the State ' s best high school guard, chose Mississippi College. By the beginning of December hustling Mickey McGuire, a tremend- ous scrapper and brilliant playmaker, had become the take charge guy of the Chocs, and Allens As- sassins swept through their first four games on the strength of good shooting from Lee and Hutton and solid Rebounding by Big Huck and Tullos. McGuire was always the spark that ignited the Chocs free wheeling, fast break offense. Away from the friendly goals of Alumni Gym in mid-December the Braves belted potent Springhill 87-71 in Mobile, before Livingston State stopped the streak at four straight. The Chocs continued a sui- cide, two thousand mile road trip playing eight games in eleven days. The gentle giant came through. His point production soon equalled and surpassed his tremendous rebounding, and when the road-weary Chocs rolled in for Christmas, they boasted a 12-2 record with Huckaby and Lee ranked nationally among the nation ' s small college leaders. S outherm 116 During the holidays Huckaby and McGuire sparked the Chocs to their second straight Magnolia Holiday Championship, ripping Bethel 71-53, and downing Southeastern Louisiana ' s Lions 76-71 for the title, while the Bougue Chitto Bomber and Mick made the All-Tournament team in the process with Huck a unanimous choice for the Most Valuable award. January saw the Chocs off to Florida on a five game six day trip. Miami edqed the Braves 89-85 in the last minute after the Chocs had led by as much as eighteen points earlier in the game, Stetson rocked the five weary iron men, and Tampa topped them by one point at the end of the week, giving them a 2-3 batting average for the trip. Huck proved himself against rugged competition, averaging bet- ter than 30 points a game for the five games. Back on home soil, the Chocs ripped Livingston with ven- geance, while Huckaby poured in 39, and then mas- sacred Tampa 104-82 as Huck pumped in 34 more. With only the Southern game remaining the Assas- sins had astonished everybody in posting a I 5-5 mark. The finale, the long awaited battle with Southern, came on February 16, and a thousand students re- turned to the campus downhearted as the South- erners ' , vastly superior in bench strength came from behind to do it again, 69-65, using almost the same script as in 1955. Huck was magnificent, even in de- feat, overshadowing the field as he poured in 33 points and set a new Mississippi College record for rebounds, gettinq 29 over Southern ' s 6-9 giant Bob Kinney. 9 ROY CHEWNING Manager 118 Final statistics from the NCAA showed Huckaby was I Ith in total offense, and Ith in rebounding na- tionally while scoring 547 points for a 26.05 average per qame. He added another MC record to his credit on field goal accuracy, hitting 50.6%. Lee led the nation in foul shot accuracy down to his last game when a two for four mark against Southern dropped him to second nationally; still he established another new school record with his 87.7% figure. The 1955-56 season results gave genial Jimmy Allen a 56-14 victory mark for his three seasons at Mississippi College. A cool .750 pet. ) T E 11 11 I $ % V.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE STUDEMT GOVIRNMIHIT BUD p, tR A practical experiment in government and democracy is our Student Association. The student executive council, spear-headed by the unique leadership of president Bud Walker, has surpassed other councils with its program and enthusiasm. Time and again set- ting the pace for the students and other or- ganizations, the council this year presented to the student body a new constitution. In keep- ing with the rapid progress and development of Mississippi College, the new constitution provides for a complete remodeling and en- larging of the Student Government Associa- tion. MEN ' S STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Women ' s Student Government Association con- tinued to improve and enlarge its program this year with Bobbie Neil Moore, at the helm of leadership. The women of the association are the dormitory and campus leaders among the women students.

Campus news and other news of interest to Mississippi College students, reported and interp- reted weekly by the students: This was the aim of the 1955-56 Mississippi Collegian. More than thirty students from almost every field of interest worked during the year to publish the twenty-nine Tuesday editions of the campus newspaper. This year the newspaper grew in several ways. The staff was larger than ever before. Office space was increased by the use of two rooms of the Stu- dent Center, and for the first time the paper had its own press car. A new form of staff arrange- ment featured the use of a staff of writers supply- ing material for each separate page. Three times during the year the Collegian enlarged its regu- lar 4-page, to a six page edition, and an extra comic edition was published. This was a year of a few big stories — and a lot of little stories. For the paper, it was a year of a little glory — and a lot of hard work. The Col- legian gave and got its share of backslapping — and its share of faceslapping. The growing pains which the whole school faced came to the news- paper too, and those who wrote Volume XXXVII of the Mississippi Collegian hope that those who follow them will find that the growth of this year will make for a bigger and better paper.
