Thomas, Attorney Jackson Fifty years ago Dotson McGinnis Nelson began his long career at Mississippi College as a freshman. After graduating from MC in 1910, and taking his doctorate at the University of Indiana, he returned to his Alma Mater to teach for 15 years. In 1931, Dr. Nelson became President, and since that time Mis- sissippi College has become one of the outstanding educational institutions in our nation. Some of his innumerable accomplishments include the conversion of the men’s school of 400 students into a co-educational institution of over 2,000 men and women; acquisition of property for greater expansion; addition of 12 buildings on the campus proper, and five more in the beginning stage; enlargement of the faculty and staff from 25 to more than 100; increase- ment of the endowment from $632,000 to nearly $1,- 500,000; addition of thirteen departments to the original thirteen; number of books in the library has increased from 14,000 to over 50,000; and inaugura- tion of graduate work. More students are graduating from MC year after year than were in the entire stu- dent body 25 years ago. In this his twenty-fifth year as President, we salute “The Great White Chief of the Choctaws.” MRS. E. N. ELSEY M.A. Dean of Women MR. FRANK HORTON B.A. Student Secretary MRS. CLAUDIA LANDRUM B.L.S.

Newswriting Chairman; Houston Inman, M.A. President; Bernie Spooner, Social Chairman; Frank Horton, Student Director The Baptist Student Union is a movement on college campuses which seeks to enlist students for the cause of Christ and link them with the local Baptist church. It is a composite of all voluntary religious activities on our campus, plus the local church and its unit organization. A student becomes a member of B.S.U. when he joins the Ministerial Association, Y.W.A., Religious Education Club, Sunday School, Training Union, or Brotherhood. Special activities sponsored by the B.S.U. this year were Noonday Prayer Service, Morning Medi- tations, Vesper services, Prayer-mate Emphasis Week, and Christian Home Week. Another special held in February of this year was Spiritual Empha- sis Week. The featured speaker was Dr. Walter Moore, pastor of First Baptist Church, Meridian, Mississippi. To begin the year, a Pre-school Retreat was held at Camp Garaywa. This meeting helped to set the pace for a busy year of activity which is led by the Executive Council, elected each spring by the entire student body. Nine off-campus mission points are visited week- ly to enable the students to witness for Christ under varied circumstances. All students are invited to join in this effort. Realizing that Christianity is a way to live, rather than a “belief,” the B.S.U. purposes to aid the student to build a wholesome, well balanced and abundant life. - cSS) -- 135 OFFICERS Dr. W. W.

MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 0 MILLSAPS COLLEGE 0 Traditional arch-rival, the Mississippi College Choctaws and the Millsaps Majors tried desperately to reach each others’ coveted goal line at the Hinds County Memorial Stadium in Jackson, but both failed in their thirty-fifth meeting, with the final score reading Miss. College 0. Millsaps 0. The fact that the teams battled it out on a damp, soggy field had little to do with the general hard knocking dis- played by both teams, and the 7,000 fans were not dis- appointed in a game that was tense from start to finish. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 13 SEWANEE UNIVERSITY 6 The Mississippi College Choctaws, playing before a large homecoming crowd, pounded out a 13-6 win over the University of Sewanee on Robinson Field. The Choc- taws scored the first touchdown of the game with only two minutes left in the first period on a three yard plunge by right half-back Jerrell Purvis. Bud Beakes’ extra point at- tempt was wide and the Chocs led by a 6-0 score. Late in the second quarter Sewanee tied the game on a pass play, and their extra point also failed and the score remained tied at 6-6. After intermission Coach Joe Murphy’s Choctaws came back strong and moved ahead to stay in the third quarter when Purvis, who tallied both of the MC touchdowns, again plunged through the Sewanee line to score from MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 7 OUACHITA COLLEGE 20 The Mississippi College Choctaws dropped their third game of the season to the Ouachita Tigers in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, by a 20-7 score. The Tigers led 13-0 at the half, and came back in the third quarter to move out ahead 20-0 over the Chocs. Quarterback Lee Rowell fired a touchdown pass to half-back Jerrell Purvis in the fourth quarter for the Choctaws only marker of the game. Rowell passed to Jim Wilson for the extra point. The final score was Ouachita 20, Mississippi College 7. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 13 SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE 21 The Southwestern Lynx defeated the Mississippi Col- lege Choctaws 21-13 at Fargason Field in Memphis, Ten- nessee on September 29. Quarterback Young passed for all three of Southwestern’s touchdowns and place-kicked for the three extra points. The Chocs tied the score at 7-7 with just seconds left in the first quarter, but the Lynx came back in the second quarter to score two touchdowns and moved ahead 21-7 at the halftime. MC scored their final touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 0 DELTA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE . . .25 Before a large crowd on Robinson Field, the Choctaws lost a 25-0 decision to the Delta State Greenies. The Statesmen, a scholarship school with plenty of speed, ability, and depth, pushed over the goal line three times in the first half, but a never-say-die Choc attitude held the visitors to a lone score in the last half. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 12 HOWARD COLLEGE 6 The MC Choctaws scored a 12-6 win over the Howard Bulldogs in Talladega, Alabama, on October 6. Howard fumbled the ball on their own 10 yard line early in the second quarter and the Chocs recovered. On the third play from scrimmage Linus Bridges plunged over from the two for the Chocs first touchdown. Late in the second quarter Linus Bridges cracked off tackle and ran to the five yard line. On the next play from the five Lee Rowell circled right end for the second Choctaw score. Howard scored their lone touchdown late in the third quarter. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 6 LIVINGSTON STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE 6 In a closely played tilt the MC Choctaws played the Livingston State (Ala.) Teachers College to a 6-6 tie. The Chocs tallied late in the second quarter on a blast off tackle by fullback. Sammy Anderson, but the Livingston State crew came roaring back to rack up a touchdown just after the second half began. During the remainder of the game neither team could get a sustained drive going, and consequently the fans saw quite a bit of punting by both of the ball teams. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 0 WESTERN COLLEGE 14 Playing in Bowling Green, Kentucky, before a large band day crowd, the MC Choctaws closed out their 1956 football season by losing a 14-0 decision to Western Kentucky. The Chocs played one of their best games of the season as they battled the heavier and more exper- ienced Kentuckians on even terms for most of the game. After having three successful seasons of basketball under head coach, Janies Allen, the Choctaws had one of their most unsuccessful seasons during the 1956-57 campaign. Even though their record isn’t too impressive, the Choc- taws fought to the finish in every game before finally los- ing out. The season began with the Chocs meeting the All-Stars in Alumni Gym. The game, lost by the Chocs 94-90, was the first opening game loss since Coach Allen took over, and it was only the second game M. C. had lost on their home court during the past three years. The fourth game of the year found the Choctaws play- ing host to the Mississippi State Maroons in Alumni Hall before a jam-packed standing room only crowd. State led the entire game but the Chocs made it an interesting game until late in the last half, when they finally lost out 99-80 to the Maroons. Allen’s crew plays their best brand of ball in the Holi- day Tourney in Jackson’s Municipal Auditorium and finished in the runner-up spot. In the opening round game, the Chocs defeated Howard, Ala. 82-79. This was the first win of the season for the Chocs, and it seemed to give them added drive as they fought to the last minute before dropping a hard fought 81-79 decision to Southeastern Louisiana. Mississippi College won their third game of the season by defeating Livingston State, Ala. at Alumni Hall by a 67-56 score. In their big game of the year in the City Auditorium, Mississippi College lost to Mississippi Southern 90-71. The first half was very close with Southern leading by only two points at the half.
