CLINTON, MISSISSIPPI MISSISSIPPI BAPTIST HISTORICAL COMMISSION The mind asks questions for which it has no words. From ancient wrought-iron railings, you alone and I alone look farther than the eye can see and wonder that the unwritten sky should draw us to an answer still unknown, unasked for, though desired. Although the birds have been surpassed in freedom and in height, space ships — satellites and rockets — speak in terms of earth: density and heat and radiation. And we must study earth to hear and comprehend, to phrase at first the question. Like it or not, we know our birth is to this world, and though we long for light, discernment co mes with growth, not by a feat of magic dimly wished nor in a burst of wisdom from the skies. We hesitate, unable for a time to look aside and seek infinity within our skulls within these walls within this town and state within this country and this hemisphere within this ball of dirt on which we ride within this universe — beginning here. We linger, each alone, held by the weight of questions we cannot articulate as every man in time is held by all he does not know. So will he join in labor then to build a place of learning, wall apart a space for study with his neighbor — and for his daughters and his sons that they may enter each alone into the search, and seeking see in the eyes of one another the mutual quest and question; so they’ll seek alone together . . . f M And after, feel in solitude the stir and pause of wordless thought, recurrent pain rising from old seed-beds to occur, Look in and out and, lost, look all around for words to phrase the question, hear replies. Look into books within whose backs are bound pages of people lost and seeking too, and striking light in living dark as skies are struck with stars. Reckon with one who, divine on earth though hampered in the flesh, gave life and death directions; then refresh the lonely quest with friendly talk, arguments, discussions; walk the unfolding ways that minds can pass together through a formal lane laid out before, or plunge en masse in jungles, shouting the terrain. Consult the scout whose forays prove to be more than wanderings in an unmapped land: he marks at symbols of infinity I B E S M A N T O... the Students The student — the seeker — navigating his way through his own chosen maze, his labyrinth of lectures, studies, exams — is wont to pause in his quest of knowledge, to experiment, perform, create- to lead the full life. His path here branches many ways, affording stimulation for his mind, release for his more dynamic energies, or, simply, amuse- ment. Returning at last to his scholar identity, he is enriched in patience, perseverance, and usually humility — virtues of value for a better person, a better student. ACTIVITIES Student Government The organization through which the students of Mississippi College govern themselves is the Student Body Association. The three di- visions — executive, legislative, and judicial — that constitute the SBA are patterned after those of our national government. Left to right: Marilyn Barnes, secretary; Ken Lyle, President; Larry Ziglar, Attorney; Andy Lester, Vice President; Betty Reagan, Treas- urer; Harry Brigance, Chief Justice. The executive division serves to ad- minister the SBA as a whole to coordinate the functions of the other branches, and to execute the constitutional law.

I Publications Publications Council This group is of invaluable aid to the various campus publications. On it the editors and bus- iness managers are brought together, under the guidance of a faculty com- mittee, to effect solutions to their common problems and to discuss and determine policies for their mutual benefit. Tomahawk Staff The TOMA- HAWK is a tradi- tion at Mississippi College. Designed primarily for the new student, it out- lines the student government and the freshman initiation program, includes the constitutions of the SBA and the WSGA, and fur- nishes a great deal of other informa- tion of special value to the newcomer to the campus. Dick Bennett; Betty Russum, Business Manager; Brenta Helms, Art Editor; and Larry Ziglar, Editor. 24 Arrowhead The A rrowhead is the student literary magazine. Pub- lished four times a year, it features original poetry, es says, short stories, and plays by Mississippi College stu dents. Anne Walker, Vic Cotton, Linda Price, Bob Herring, Martha Clay. CHARLIE DEEVERS Editor The COLLEGIAN is the weekly newspaper of Mississippi College. Hav- ing one of its best years yet, it ap- proached professional quality and varie- ty in its news, editorials, columns, fea- tures, and cartoons.

It is their express desire that their work meet your approval.

Many — not all — have the wisdom to seek counsel from someone a little older, a little wiser, who strangely enough never seems to be too busy with administrative duties — or test papers — to lend a helping hand. i DR. R. A. McLEMORE — a unique combination of a capable administrator, an exemplary Christian, and a true friend to all students — is now serving his third year as President of Mississippi College. Constantly confronted as he is with a busy schedule of activities and ap- pointments he has always executed his duties in a way that has won him the admiration and affection of faculty and students alike. 30 Dr. R.

ATHLETICS Football Under the excellent direction of Coach Mc- Phail and his able staff of assistants the 1959 Choctaws compiled an outstanding 7-2 record, the best since an identical mark in 1950. But the football squad merely paved the way for the record-breaking victories that were to come to the Braves in their 1959-60 sports ventures. COACH STANLEY ROBINSON Head of Athletic Department The Mississippi College football team started its 1959 season under the direction of an almost entirely new coaching staff. Head Coach Hartwell McPhail came to M.C. from the Greenville, Mississippi,high school. He had already established himself in the coaching world by winning the Big 8 Conference Football Championship two straight years at Greenville. Arriving from Pasca- goula, Miss., Coach Blackwell was assigned the duties of line coach and promptly molded a first-class forward wall. J. P. Buckley joined the Choctaw staff from a coaching position in Crystal Springs, Miss. Rounding out the coaching crew was veteran M.C.er James Parkman. COACHING STAFF: Bernard Blackwell, J. P.

Playing before a jam packed crowd in College Stadium at Pineville, Louisiana, the Mississippi College Choctaws opened the ’59 football season with a loss to the La. Col- lege Wildcats. Although the highly favored Wildcats came out on top, the Chocs gave a creditable showing. La. College, led by Joe Stewart, crossed the white stripe into golden land in each of the first three periods. Miss. College penetrated deeply into Wildcat territory in the second and fourth periods, the last drive falling short at the Wildcat 4 yd. line, where Halfback Ray McPhail was dropped by the vicious Wildcat line, after picking up valuable yard- age. The passing arm of Quarterback Larry Therrell led the Choc offensive attack. Mississippi College ended its victory drought with a 14- 7 win over the Southwestern Lynx in their home opener before a near capacity crowd of 5,000. The Chocs first T.D. came after Guard Curtis Nix pounced on a Lynx fumble. With Fred Kelly and Tommy Alexander alter- nating the ball carrying chores, the Chocs advanced to the 8 yard line. Alexander then exploded over tackle for the score. In the second period, after guiding the Chocs down the field with his passing arm, Larry Therrell went in from the one for the Chocs second tally of the night. Milton Thomas booted both extra points. Southwestern fought back and scored in the third period. Choc standouts in- cluded Halfback Benson Holland and Fullbacks Linus Bridges and Barry Landrum. SjW£ H ivvard 3 -urday f lo Mississippi College Austin With a 1,-1 record for the young season the Choctaws traveled to Sherman, Texas, and gained their second win by downing the Austin Kangaroos 14-6. Alexander scratched first, going over from the seven in the first quar- ter. Quarterback Lavon Nettles scored in the second period, but the T.D. was nullified because of a penalty. Austin scored in the second quarter, and the score stood 7-6 in favor of the Chocs at halftime. Larry Therrell ac- counted for the final tally of the evening with a 41 yard scoring dash on an option play. Milton Thomas added both extra points. The alert Choctaw defense was led by Mart McMullan, Jerry Foshee, Curtis Nix, Benson Hol- land, and Lavon Nettles, while the offensive parade was led by Therrell, Alexander, and Bridges. Mississippi College 27 Howard 6 With two wins under their war bonnets, the Choctaw warriors unleashed a devastating offense and defense against the Howard Bulldogs that simply blasted them from the undefeated, unscored on columns. The Choc’s first tally came in the second period when the Bulldog quarterback, rushed hard by Fullback Barry Landrum, was forced to throw wild. The ball sailed into the waiting hands of Choc defender Tommy Alexander, who returned its 45 yards for the T.D. Lavon Nettles accounted for the second T.D., racing 5-yards around end for the score. In the third period Alexander added 6 more points, driving in from the twelve. The final tally came in the final period when Benson Holland went in from the six. Milton Thom- as added three extra points. High point of the busy schedule of fall activities at Mississippi College was the Homecoming game with Mill- saps. The day long awaited came on a cold Saturday, October 24th. To the freshmen Homecoming meant the end of a gruelling initiation. The wiser upperclassmen ex- citedly anticipated reunions with the alumni and the thrill of the Choctaw spirit personified. On Friday evening, accompanied by the haunting, never-ending pulsation of the Choctaw tom-tom, funeral” services were held for the soon-to-be bruised and badly beaten Major Millsaps. Enthusiasm mounted as the Major was burned in effigy by the warriors. But the festivities were just beginning. The tom-tom throbbed on as tired but happy Choctaws worked through the night on floats for the Saturday parade. How the moments flew by that day! The windy parade in Jackson gave top honors to the Nenamoosha, Pre-Med Club, and B.S.U. floats. Ross Barnett was named Alumnus of the Year at the alumni banquet. The reservation was flooded with visitors reliving old times and admiring the class displays. Then came the presentation of the Court, just before the game. With Queen Sarah Odle and her princesses leading them, the Choctaw fans bundled up with blankets to cheer their team to victory. Chief Brave Ken Lyle accepted the Majors sword from Millsaps as the pleased crowd echoed an end to Homecoming, 1959. n rr 104 vW-SSSs , tiW _ ' V ] The Choctaw team gained its 24th triitnph in this 39th gridiron dispute with the Majors when it scalped the Saps 26-6. Cold determination of the Braves clashed with fev- erish Millsaps’ efforts to produce an exciting game. Early efforts by Millsaps and M.C. were fruitless against the tenacious defense of both teams. Benson Holland brought the Choctaw tribe to its feet when he sprinted to the end zone from the 35 early in the game, but illegal procedure by the Saps nullified the score. After another futile at- tempt by the Chocs to reach the goal, the Majors took the ball and kept the game in a stalemate till the last minutes of the second quarter. By virtue of a Millsaps fumble, M.C. took possession on the 28 and worked its way to the one for a T.D. by Linus Bridges. Midway in the third period Choctaw teamwork proved its efficiency in a series of plays that ended with Bridges scoring and adding the two extras on a toss from Quarter- back Milton Thomas. A few minutes later John Smith received a pass by Therrell on the 35 and headed for home and a 20-0 score. Again the Chocs struck like lightning as Bridges chalked up his third and M.C.’s last T.D. for the evening. Furious, the Majors took the kickoff and pushed their way into Choctaw territory. With the luck of a suc- cessful pass and a fast-running end, Millsaps racked up its 6 points. Further threats by both teams were profitless, but the fans had had their money’s worth. Coming maid; Alecia Jones, senior maid; Barbara Lee, maid of honor , Gail Boen, sophomore maid i Mississippi College 27 Sewanee 6 Held scoreless in the first half, the Mississippi College Choctaws overcame a 6 point deficit, scoring 27 points in the second half to dull the Sewanee Tigers’ Homecoming ceremonies. Fullback Linus Bridges pulled over from the two for the first tally. Bridges also accounted for the second T.D. A pass from Therrell to Holland netted 21 yards and another touchdown in the fourth quarter. The final tally came after Nettles and Landrum pushed the ball to the Tiger 25. Therrell hit freshman Halfback Oliver Smith for the score with 17 seconds remaining. Out- standing in the forward wall for the Chocs were Furlow, Nix, McMullan, Hathorn, and Martin. Before the game with Harding the Choctaws met their second and final defeat of the season when they bowed to the Hendrix Warriors 7-0. Mississippi College ........ 47 Harding 7 It was freezing on the reservation, but the red hot M.C. Choctaws were oblivious of it as they ran roughshod over the Harding College Bisons 47-7. The large crowd was hardly settled before the Chocs reached pay dirt in the first 30 seconds with Quarterback Lavon Nettles carrying the ball over on the second play. Halfback Benson Holland dashed through the right side six for the second T.D. After a 59 yard drive the Chocs scored again as Charles Garrett ran in from the 15. The Braves got their hands on the ball in the beginning of the second quarter and Bridges did the honors. 2 l 2 minutes later Therrell scored for a fifth T.D. Harding made its only points at the end of the first half. Doty polished off the M.C. score in the last half with two spectacular T.D.’s. Thomas and Pounds added the extra points. n Mississippi College Livingston . . . “M” CLUB In the final game of the season the Choctaws gained vic- tory number seven by beating the Livingston State Tigers 14-6. During the cold first half both squads slugged goal- ward but neither could score. Immediately after the halftime Mississippi College got its first touchdown with Halfback Fred Kelly getting the score. A Livingston punt dropped the Chocs back to their six yard line, and a fumble gave the Tigers the ball for the Livingston T.D. A fumble on the Tiger kickoff placed them in scoring position again, but M.C. took over after a futile attempt at a field goal. Quarterback Lavone Nettles scored the final T.D. in the fourth, going eight yards for the score. Milton Thomas booted both extra points, and Landrum and Holland racked up points in yard- age.

COACH JAMES ALLEN HH ■ Mississippi College was Number One in scoring among the nation ' s small college teams when they finished their pre- Christmas schedule. At that point they had won five games, lost two, and had amassed a grand total of 794 points — a cool 113.4 average — according to the NCAB, the NCAA ' s statistical bureau. Coach James (Stute) Allen opened his seventh season as head coach of the Choctaws, and after three sub par seasons, he was ready to restore the old Mississippi College brand of rock ' em-sock ' em, high scoring, run and shoot basketball that had packed Alumni Gym to the rafters in not too many years past. Using a combination of veterans — Tommy Covington, a sure candidate for Little All America, Mike Ponder, Johnny Gray, and Johnny Plummer, Allen added other old timers Frank Lawrence, Glen Holmes, Dorsey Deaton, and new- comers Dutch” Nichols, Tom Lee, H. T. Busby, A1 Shef- field, Frank Drummonds, Billy Gibbs. 108 The first time out with this new creation, we lost to Ouachita, but that loss was a spine tingling, heart thumping, foot stomping 121-117 decision that came only after two overtime periods. The fans who went away had seen exciting basketball. The next time around the Braves pulled out the stops and trounced hapless Hendrix College by a 101-72 margin, and more people came to the game. But that was only the prelude to the complete, total, and utter devastation the Chocs visited up- on the Birmingham Southern team the next night. In the encounter Allen let his warriors run all night long, and when the smoke had cleared, the Chocs had rewritten the record books, beating the Southerners 136-108. Along came Louisiana College then. The Wild- cats had wiped the floor with their Mississippi Baptist brethren the year before by a 99-60 mar- gin, and to hear them tell it, they were planning to do the same thing this time and in the Chocs gym. That one ended with the Tribe on the big end of a 109-100 count, and Allen had his men coast- ing at the final whistle. 109 The grandaddy of all games loomed into sight then — M.C. v.s. Millsaps at Jackson’s City Audi- torium. The Majors, let it be said to their credit, fought gamely, and when they knotted the score just before halftime, it did the Millsaps fans good to be able to cheer their team. After that, how- ever, the cheers came few and far between. Mis- sissippi College won 113-81. Christmas came along, and Allen revived the Mississippi College Christmas Invitational tourney. In the opening round he sent his high scoring quintet into action against a similar high scoring outfit from William Carey. Height prqyed the dif- ference, and the Warriors dropped their second by a 110-106 margin. In the consolation game the next night, they rallied to hand Millsaps another licking, this time by 112-72. At that game’s conclusion, Covington stood fourth in the nation’s small college scoring list with a 27.3 average, and Gray, a 5 ' 9 pepper- pot whose habit is filling the sacks with basket- balls, was fourteenth with an even 25 points per game. NO Cheerleaders Billy Lytal, Beverly Ingram, George Tate, Brenda Helms, Betty Day Miller, Bobby Herring, Sue Worsham, Shirley Smith. Headed by Brenda Helms, the Choctaw cheerleaders kept Mis- sissippi College spirits high with the exaltant chants and yells that boosted our team to vic- tory. Throughout the year their contagious enthusiasm captured the loyalty and respect of a responsive student body. Cross Country ' COLLEGE mss COUNTS college .vntti COUKIH zlSS ’COLLEGE QLLiCiE COACH JIM PARKMAN Coach Jim Parkman pushed his chair back from the bat- tered desk in the athletic office last September and allowed as how the future looked mighty dim for his cross country team in the coming season. And, he did have some mighty good reasons for his pessimism — in the first place, last year’s team went through without winning a single meet; add to that the fact that most of those regulars were gone; and finally, Parkman’s squad faced one of its toughest schedules in history. In the midst of deep gloom there began to arise several slight hopes. The first good news came when Johnny Broughton decided to transfer from Memphis State; then came word that Bill Keesling was moving down from Howard Payne College, and finally Parkman learned that Tom Honea, the state’s B-BB mile winner, was casting his lot with the Choctaws. All that information warmed Park- man’s heart. He still had a pair of lettermen in Billy Lamb, a soph- omore and junior Bobby Vernon, and along with the three newcomers, he felt that there just might emerge a team place second in the Union University meet against the capable of putting on a good show. They did just that, too. Over their six meet schedule, the Choctaw harriers, managed to win two, lose three, and South’s best small college squads — far exceeding Park- man’s thoughts back in the early part of the fall. Scores of the meets went like this: Wins were over Southwestern at Memphis by 24-31 (low score wins in cross country) and over Southeastern Louisiana by 21-34. Losses came at the hands of Mississippi State (runner up in the SEC meet) 32-23, Louisiana Tech (rated right at the top of the south’s cross country list) 34-21, and Northeast Louisiana 31-24. Broughton set a new Mississippi College cross country record, completing the three mile course in 15:05, breaking the mark set by Richard (Bud) Gordan at 15:13. With all five lettermen due for a return engagement next fall, Parkman should greet the coming season with a little less pessimism. M2 .Track Just how do you improve on a 7-1 record? That’s the problem Mississippi College’s Track Coach Jim Parkman had to answer this spring as he readied his 1960 thinclads for his fifth season. Parkman was faced with the same problem at the beginning of last season, and his squad promptly raced past seven opponents, and nearly past another in one of the most thrilling meets ever to be re- corded on the Robinson Field oval before losing to Mis- sissippi State of the Southwestern Conference by a 70-61 margin. That meet wasn’t decided until the final event — the mile relay — and even then it wasn’t until the final leg that the Maroons pulled ahead to pick up the necessary five points to win. The Chocs were pushed only one other time during the season, and that was against the Southwestern Lynx at Memphis. Parkman’s men won that one by 6 6 1 2 -64 l 2 , when late Choc victories in the discus and javelin snatched a seemingly sure victory from the hungry Lynx. Included among the Braves’ victims was one member of the SEC — Tulane — which fell by a lopsided 78%- 52 1 3. Others were Troy (Ala.) State 103-28, Emory, (Ga.) 91-40, and Louisiana College 83-58. In addition, the Baptist thinclads won their own invita- tional track meet, racking up l32 l 2 points to lead second place Howard with 112. Winning has gotten to be a habit for Parkman, whose four year record stands at 24-5. Four of those losses were to Mississippi State, and the fifth came by a one point margin to Arkansas State — a loss the Chocs avenged the next year. Individual stars, developed by Parkman, continued to shine during the season. Roy Baker, undefeated in the 220 yard dash, was the high scorer with L50 points, fol- lowed by Price Toler with 80, and weight man Austin Bag- gett with 78. Distance runner Wayne Derrick and sprinter-broad jumper Wayne Tatum finished next with 38%; Dick Foster with 34-%; Dick Carroll, 33 %; Chuck Brandon, 27; an d Marvin Gordon, 25, round out the top ten scorers. 113 Baseball A four game sweep over the Millsaps Majors highlighted the Mississippi College baseball season, as Coach Stanley Robinson, with valuable aid from Dave Hadaway during the first half of the season, led the Chocs to a 16-5 record. When the youthful Hadaway took charge of the Choctaw diamond- neers at the first of the season, he led the Chocs against teams to compile a 7-2 record. Behind the pitching of Lamont Echols and Bill Strub, the team had batting power supplied by Bubba Hutto, Freddie Hutton, Ralph Skinner” King, Paul Sullivan, John Smith, and F. D. Moore. Together they whipped arch rival Millsaps four straight times and split the series with Delta State and William Carey. Against competition outside the st ate they held a top heavy 13-2 mark, losing only to the University of Chicago and Southwestern. The Chocs avenged both deci- sions the next day. The Choctaws scored twenty runs twice during their best offensive performances of the season when they blasted Chi- cago early in the season 20-2 and then routed Southwestern 20-1. Echols, the Choctaw work horse on the mound last spring, dropped his first game to Southwestern, making his record 8-1 during the season. Coach Robinson built his diamond squad of 1959 from a team of hustling, hard-working individuals who combined their efforts to make this baseball season one of the most suc- cessful for the Choctaws in recent years. 115 PRIKOS, Intramurals I 16 — i Women’s Recreation Association i W.

Nenamoosha Social Tribe Nenamoosha is an old Indian dialect word meaning sweetheart; therefore Nenamoosha girls are often referred to as the sweethearts of the Mississippi College campus Nena- moosha has adopted the heart, the traditional symbol of sweethearts of all ages, for their emblem. Red, because it suggests love, life, warmth, and courage, and white, standing or purity, are treasured by each Nenamooshan as the tribe colors. The red rose, one of the loveliest and most fragrant of blossoms is the official tribe flower. The pearl, symboliz- ing purity, is the tribe’s crowning jewel. Being a very active social tribe, Nenamoosha has won first place in the float competition for the Homecoming Parade two consecutive years and copped first prize in the Festival of Song, to mention only a few of her ac- complishments. The activities of Nenamoosha are many and varied, but they all con- tribute to the development of poise, personality, leadership and Christian character of each member. DIANNE SUTHERLAND President Once again Nenamoosha has opened her heart to a needy family in Clinton. Pictured here is a small group of the Nenamooshans giving a Thanksgiving basket to Sally, one of the maids in Gunter Hall. Nenamoosha wins first place in the float competition The aim of the Swannanoa Tribe is to develop the poise, grace, and personality of each of its members. Its colors, green and white; its flower, the white chrys- anthemum; and its symbol, the crescent moon; represent growth, purity, and high ideals. The year’s activities begin with par- ties, followed by hayrides, Christ- mas parties, picnics, and a wide variety of interesting programs. The Swannanoa Tribe is one of the smaller tribes on the campus, but it is very proud of the close bond of friendship that exists be- tween its members.
