He has achieved a place high in the esteem of State students by treating the many student problems that daily come before him with fairness and yet giving them his sympathetic understanding. He has earned the trust and confidence of all of the students, who are ready to offer enthusiastic co-operation to his competent advice, and at the same time, he is extremely popular with other administrative heads of the school. j| It is with our sincere gratitude and appreciation that we accord the seat of Guest of Honor to our Registrar and the chairman of the Board of Publications, MR. SEN F. HILBUH Of HONOR |in JjBlemoxnam JAMES VANCE BOWEN Dean, School of Business and Industry No one individual was more instrumental in the development of Mississippi State College than was Dean James V. Bowen. In all his work, first thought was given to the advancement of the institution, and to the thorough train- ing of its students. Firm in manner, Dean Bowen tempered his views with a humorous and philosophic attitude, that can only come after many years ' experience. Farsighted in his views, and always showing exceptional qualities of loyalty and efficiency, Dean Bowen was loved and admired by both faculty and student body. SAMUEL BARBER HATHORN Dean, School of Education Attaining outstanding success with the annual Summer Session of Mississippi State was the major accomplishment of Dean Sam Hathorn, as he was affectionately known to students. As Director of Instruction, he was re- sponsible for the maintenance of strict standards in the classroom, result- ing in the high academic standing of the school. By tempering forcefulness with humor and understanding, his training was sound in all details. Missis- sippi State has lost one of its most loved officials, who gave his health in the pursuit of duty, and who commanded our respect by his extraordinary common sense and knowledge, and strict attention to duty. CHARLES H. GIST A loyal friend and an outstanding student was lost in the untimely passing of Charles Gist. Always popular on the campus, Charles was prominent in student activities and was a member of many honorary groups and of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. Beloved by all his acquaintances, and honored as a gentleman, Charles will live on in the hearts of all State College students. GEORGE EDSON WALLACE Professor of Industrial Education The wisdom that comes with years of experience in dealing with young people was the greatest possession of this highly-regarded and respected teacher, who held the esteem of his students by his liberal and yet firm dealing with them. Having an unusual respect for the personal opinion of every acquaintance, Prof. George gave individual attention to every student and problem that confronted him. This liberal attitude, coupled with a fine understanding of human nature and an eternally humorous out- look on all matters earned for Mr. Wallace the trust and confidence of every associate. sawm HERE COMES THAT SHOWBOAT THE COLLEGE r , ' «  , 4PI (Sra MMpj SSffi ' ■■■•- DR. G. D. HUMPHREY e aac T JX WI tliA PRESIDENT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: As you approach the end of your college career at this institution, my parting injunction is that you be sincere in whatever you may undertake to do. Sincerity will pay you rich dividends whatever your interests in life may be. The sincere man is one who is true to his best nature and lives up to the high ca lling of his destiny in all phases of human experience. Sincerity opens up the channels of comradeship among friends and binds us to- gether with ties of loyalty in our social, professional, and business groups. Material riches, fame, and power can mean little to one who has not been sincerely loyal to hinself and to his fellowman. In your years here, I firmly believe that you have established ties of loyal and sincere friendship with both the faculty and your fellow students which the passing years will not sever. I congratulate you upon your achievements here, and wish for you a life of happy and sincere service. Sincerely yours, G. D. HUMPHREY, President. }L OFFICERS FOR SIXTY YEARS Mirsissippi State College has been growing from the small Mississippi Agricultural and Me- chanical College to one of the greatest colleges in the South. This was made possible by the progressive and able leaders of State ' s administration. Sixty years ago the college had an enrollment of three hundred and fifty students, all pursuing the same course of study. When the students came on the campus they saw an academic building, a small dormitory, a chemical laboratory, President Stephen D. Lee ' s residence, and a few barns. That was Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. Today, due to capable men in our administration, we find beautiful buildings, modern dormitories, the longest cafeteria in the world, twenty-three hundred students, five schools with progressive professors, and one of the best football teams in the nation. The seniors graduating this year have seen the construction of a concrete stadium, the department of Agri- cultural Administration added to the curriculum, a Dairy Products Building completed, Division of Graduate Per- sonnel created, the Petroleum Testing Laboratory completed, and Hull and Magruder Halls completed. This all comes under the heading of hard work of the leaders of the administration. They have been forced to work under a budget that is much too small; one that should be set for a student body much smaller than this one, but handicapped as they are, their progress is remarkable. President Humphrey has been the dynamic and an efficient leader of these men, and with his guidance they should continue their progress. MAIN DORMITORy r DMINISTRATION DR. W. F. HAND Vice-President and Dean of Science Dr. Hand has been serving Mississippi State since 1894. He is known throughout the South for his brilliance, understanding and tolerance, and has the gift of one of the strongest personalities on the campus. Service to humanity and the advancement of the college has re- mained uppermost in his mind, even to the point of his declining financial gain and fame in other fields. Being Vice-President, Dean of the School of Science, and State Chemist occupies most of his time, but it is a very familiar sight to see him walking across the campus giving his cheerful salutation, Hi, Boy. BEN F. HILBUN Resistrar Mr. Ben is the man that tells us whether or not we may enter Mississippi State College, and he is also the man that says that quite a few of us may not leave after our four years. As Registrar he has records of all grades that have been made at State for years back, but keeping these is just one of his jobs. He is also Chairman of the Board of Publications which carries with it quite a few headaches itself. He is one of State ' s most progressive leaders, and one of her most dependable supporters whether it be at a debate or a football game. B. P. BROOKS Secretary Although the youngest member of the Administrative Council Mr. Brooks has proven to be one of the strongest pillows at State. He has the hair-tearing job of making the debits and credits equal on a budget that would make most men throw up their hands, and give the land back to the Indians. He has performed his duties well, and has a very efficient group of picked men working under him who are really not the bunch of misers and blood-suckers that most upperclassmen lead freshmen to believe. Mr. Brooks is also a very active member of the Board of Publications. MAJOR I. D. SESSUMS Head of Discipline Department As the head of a department that would make any other man the most unpopular person on any campus, The Major through his understanding and fairness, has become one of the most beloved men at State. His ability to punish without a feeling of malice or resentment has given him a place in the hearts of students that will remain even when the time comes that college days are but a memory. He is never too busy to help a student with any sort of problem that he might have, and his ability to lighten the load on another ' s shoulders has won him both the respect and admiration of all who know him. DEAN E. B. COLMER DEAN E. B. COLMER The School of Agriculture was very fortunate to have ob- tained the services of such a capable and conscientious man as Dean E. B. Colmer. In the two years that he has held this office, Dean Colmer has shown great ability to lead, and has worked untiringly for the advancement of his school. As the result of his diligent labor, we now have one of the finest Schools of Agriculture in the nation.

AGRICULTURE THE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE comprises the departments of Agricultural Administration, Agricultural Eco- nomics, Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Horticulture, Poultry Husbandry, Veterinary Science, Forestry, and Sociology. Courses offered in this school are designed to prepare men for the practical affairs of life, for scientific in- vestigation in the various departments of agriculture, for Extension work, for teachers in high schools and colleges, for service in the United States Department of Agriculture, and for various fields of business where an intimate knowledge of scientific agriculture will be of much value in dealing with the farmer and the general public. Instruction in agriculture is divided between field work, cla ssroom, and laboratory. The fields, test plants, pas- tures, herds and flocks of the Experiment Station provide excellent material for practical instruction. The dairy building, poultry plant, greenhouses, agricultural engineering building, and the main agricultural building provide laboratory facilities. TEXTILE BUILDING dwol o E N G THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING comprises the departments of Aeronautical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Drawing, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Mechanical Engineering. In addition, it makes use of many other departments of the college. All instruction in Engineering subjects is centralized in the Engineering Building, a modern, commodious, fire- proof structure with several shop annexes. In this building are the offices, recitation and lecture rooms, general departmental drawing rooms, the shops, laboratories, and museum of the School of Engineering. This year for the first time engineering students are being given flying instructions under the C. A. A. plan of the Government. The training is given at the new Starkville Municipal Airport, located just three miles from the campus. Mr. M. S. Camp, the instructor who was a student of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, has four modern planes available for use of the students. The Engineering School led this year in the number of graduates receiving Bachelor of Science degrees with a total of ninety-nine. - ' ENGINEERING BUILDING N E E R I N G DEAN L. L. PATTERSON Dean L. L. Patterson has the largest school on the campus to keep him busy, and he has performed his duties well. Since graduating from Mississippi College in 1898, Dean Pat has spent much of his time as a student himself; receiving an M.A. Degree at Mississippi College; an M.E. Degree at Cornell, and also doing graduate study at Chicago. He is capable and well qualified to fill his position as has been shown by the records of the men that have graduated from the School of Engineering under his guidance.

Hand has seen more students come and go than any other man in the faculty. A man of brilliance and ability, he has built a school of which we are justly proud, and as an able teacher he has sent students out into the world that have become famous due to his unselfish guidance. With a sense of humor as keen as his mind he has an appreciative ear for a good joke, and knows quite a few himself. SCIENCE THE SCHOOL OF GENERAL SCIENCE— now the School of Science— was organized in 1903. This school permits the planning of four-year courses of major study in physical sciences and mathematics, biological science, social studies, and special courses to serve definite purposes. This school has some of the finest laboratories and some of the most capable professors in the South, and it has been greatly improved in the past few years under the capable leadership of Dr. Hand who has been con- nected with the college since the eighteen hundreds. Twenty-three students will receive the Bachelor of Science degree at the end of this semester.

BOWEN The late Dean J. V. Bowen made a record at State that will not be forgotten for years to come. It was through his efforts that the School of Business and Industry grew from prac- tically nothing to one of the best in the country. He will always be remembered as a conscientious person who stood by what he believed right and fair no matter what the odds against him. THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY be g an offer- ing a four-year course of collegiate grade in Business in 1915 — the first in the state and one of the first in the South. The curriculum of this school is built around the fields of marketing, accounting, banking and credit, and business law. From the beginning, Mississippi State College has offered business training to its students. Over twenty years ago it became apparent that alongside the problems of expert production in agriculture and engineering were developing serious problems arising from inefficiencies in methods of distribution. The farmer and the engineer needed not only MESS THURSTON WALLS Acting Professor of Economics B.A., Texas, 1928; M.A., Texas, 1929; Graduate Study, Texas.

Hence the demand came for increased business training for leadership in these fields, and courses to that end were established. Out of these courses naturally grew the four-year curriculum now offered. The duty to promote the liberal and practical education of the in- dustrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life meant that the future Mississippi business leader, as well as the farmer and the engineer, had a right to expect training at this college for his field of endeavor. Hence, in 1915 the School of Business and Industry was created. It has been glad to see its lead followed, for there is no limit to the potential demand for such training. The sixty-five thousand white men and women in Mississippi who are engaged directly in business pursuits need this training — to say nothing of those engaged in agriculture and professions. Perhaps the greatest contribution the school makes to the student is to furnish the opportunity to learn to think in a logical and common-sense way about the every-day problems of life. 1 he courses are all practically ad- justed to the business life, and since slip-shod, half-learned methods are dangerous, the standards set and the demands made upon the student are high. Mississippi State College ranks sixty-five in number of students, and thirty-five in number of graduates, accord- ing to research recently made in one hundred and nine business schools throughout the country. Since many of these schools have many times the number of students, we feel that this is a record of which to be proud. ScLJ oj E D U C A T THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION was created in 1936, and offers preparation for teaching in the following fields: agriculture, English, mathematics, physical education, natural sciences, social studies, commercial and distributive education, and indus- trial education. The School of Education has a functional type program. Careful consideration has been given to the social and economic needs in Mississippi and to the resources and facilities at Mississippi State College that may be used to serve these needs. This institution has facilities exceptionally well adapted to give training in the most modern teaching methods. The School of Education proposes to train high school teachers who will contribute ve r y definitely to the social and economic welfare of the state. Careful consideration is given both to those preparing to teach and to the im- provement of the teaching of those already in service. While most of the attention uring the regular session is given to the pre-service training, yet a definite program for the improvement of teacher service is maintained. In the summer sessions major attention is given to a program for teachers in service. A well-planned program of graduate work for students in education is offered dur- ing the summer sessions each year. Courses in agricultural education, educational psychology, commercial and distributive education, and industrial education is given special attention. Opportunity is also provided for study in appropriate minor fields. All curricula in the School of Education are organized on the lower-and-upper- division basis. The lower division consists of the first two years and corresponds to the unior-college level. The upper division consists of the last two years which are the usual junior and senior years. The several curricula of the lower division are readily adaptable to facilities available for offering courses in the junior colleges of the state, t is relatively easy for transfer students who have done two years ' work elsewhere to complete work for a degree in the School of Education at this institution in two sessions. The School of Education ranks fourth in the number of students to receive their Bachelor of Science degrees with a total of seventy-two. These students have prac- tical experience in schools under responsible persons before they receive their degrees.

Hathorne, Missis- sippi State lost both a Dean and Director of In- struction who was a major factor in the advance- ment of our school in the last few years. With little- regard for health or personal benefit he worked steadily from the time of his appointment as Dean of the Education School in 1936 until this spring when he passed away. Beloved and respected, his memory shall long remain in the hearts of those who knew him. SNO W COMING AS A SURPRISE to students, immediately after ex- amination week, the heaviest snow in some 36 years com- pletely blanketed the campus, and provided the students with over a week of pleasant diver- sion from their rigorous class- room duties. Starting late one Monday evening, the campus was covered during the night, and in the morning, students looked on an entirely new State campus, — one they had never seen before. The snow was a novelty to most of the students, and was enjoyed as such by all of them. Wholesale free-for-alls and monster snowball fights were commonplace events. Sledding on makeshift sleds was the order of the day all day long on the hills back of the Y. M. C. A. building, and behind cars on Col- lege Drive. Remarkable ingenuity was shown in devising these sleds: old rocking chairs slide very well on the rockers; cafe- teria trays ($1.27 each) were wonderful for sliding down hills; bed springs made quite accept- able toboggans, slipping easily on the curved frame, and hold- ing six or eight people; but the hastily-thrown-together wooden sleds were the most acceptable. Favorite spectator-sport dur- ing the snow was to watch the more sober and dignified cam- pus characters stepping gingerly along the ice-coated walks, and canted La L MISSISSIPPI to observe their rather uncertain progress up and down the icy steps of campus build- ings. Then, these same individuals underwent some real tests of disposition, when they became involved in the cross-fire of a snow-ball fight. And it was enough to try a man ' s temper, when a group would hold the rear bumper of a car on the icy street, allowing absolutely no progress. Childish fun? Yes, but, most State students had never even seen snow before, much less this much of it, so they made the best of it, took it in their stride, and enjoyed the diversion as they could. Among the memories of this school year, the unusual snow will stand out for years to come as one of the most outstanding events. BEAUTIFUL Hull Hal Athletic Dormitory ai— ) t it a en t ACTIVITIES THE FOUR COLLEGE YEARS of a man ' s life are four re- markable years of varied activity, crammed to the brim with responsible duties and hare-brained escapades, all combining to give a continuous flow of enjoyable living. A brief survey of the four years at college would follow an outline something like the four pictures just opposite. At the top, poised for the run, is a sled full of students who don ' t know what they ' re going into, but they ' re go- ing to find out. So it is with the green and gullible fresh- man. He doesn ' t know, but he ' ll try anything. This is a year of new and exciting life, with emphasis on doing the unusual. The next picture shows the students in full tilt down the incline. The sophomore year is one of reckless speed, of many activities, of daring deeds, of growing self- esteem, and of being a real Joe College. Then, the third in the series of pictures shows the group at the bottom of the slide, in a dejected heap. Thus the junior year, — the student feels that he ' s hit the end of the trail, his responsibility has weighted him down, he ' s feeling the effects of his two earlier reckless years, and he can ' t see his way clear to do much of anything. Finally, in the last picture we see the group trudging wearily back to their starting point, to try a new start. The senior year is finished the hard way, and is the reward for three pleasant years, — the overshadowing doubt is al- ways present: will I make it? Most of them do. This is a year of retrospect and resolution: the student observes his mistakes, and decides to profit by them in his start anew after graduation. In these four years, sandwiched between scholastic duties, are a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, which are, after all, the most memorable of all collegiate happenings. Organizations, both fraternal and honorary, social events, sports events, and numerous hobbies serve to more than fill the time not in class. Informal activities, — after-lunch gatherings on the cam- pus, midnight bull sessions, passing the time over cokes in the Shack, sitting in the bull ring, watching the teams work out in the stadium, playing intramural ball, attend- ing lyceum and Varsity Club presentations, listening to the Collegians on week nights and Sunday noons in the cafeteria, and early morning rambles on the campus help fill an overloaded schedule. Organized student activity, such as the student govern- ment, the publications, the sports, the campus dances, and the student celebrations claim much of the time not actually devoted to other activities. Student activity is varied, to accommodate the varied interests of such a cosmopolitan group as is the State student body. In our rather meagre pictorial way, we try to bring back memories of service with some organized activity on the campus, or those who served with them, and we try to impartially present a panoramic view of in- formal student doings on the campus. ■ - ■ ■ ■ i: ' ;: JOHN CLYDE BEARD, JR.

The Student Executive Coun- cil is the governing body composed of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of the Student Asso- ciation; four members from the Senior Class, three members from the Junior Class, two members from the Sopho- more Class, and one member from the Freshman Class. The purpose of the Student Association is to bind the students in a stronger union and develop a keener sense of school spirit. The association controls the REFLECTOR, college paper, and the REVEILLE, official annual publica- tion. The president presides over all Executive Council and Student Association meetings. It is also his job to pro- mote special trains to football games, welcome official campus visitors, and try to keep from going mad his senior year. The vice-president contracts bands for Student Association Dances, and presides over meetings in absence of the president. The cheer leading staff is elected every year by vote of the student body. These boys and girls work hard at every athletic event, and are responsible for the roars heard coming from Scott Field on Saturday afternoons. The officers of the Student Association have been very energetic this year, and the work that they have done will be remembered long after they have gone.

While pursuing this policy, the paper expresses through its editor and his staff the opinion of the student body, publishes all college news, used as reference by all stu- dents. We have seen that Sid has done a fine job in editing, and up- holding the traditions of the RE- FLECTOR. He has been assisted by his very capable staff of writers. In bringing to the attention of the students various issues, the staff has not allowed student poli- tics to enter into their viewpoint, and have tried to present both sides of all questions. The REFLECTOR in its presenta- tion of student opinions, sports, so- ciety, news, and other items of in- terest, has been able to present an interesting and readable news- paper throughout the year. Editor Ragland has incorporated in his plans, one that is new, and one that has been very successful. That is, the systematic manner in which each issue of the REFLECTOR was issued. Each member of the staff was given an item or article on which to write, and he alone was responsible for that item. As a result the paper has been better prepared, more interesting, and has presented new and varied ideas. Then too, the paper has functioned much more smoothly as a result of this plan. Each issue, bef ore it comes off the press, had been thoroughly written, corrected and F L E C T O R proof read. All that remained to be done was to print the issue and deliver to the students and to thousands of alumni of the college. This has been another important function of the REFLECTOR: To serve as a means of communication between graduates and the different college events. BUSINESS STAFF These smooth talking money pinchers have, under the capable leadership of Billy Oliver, provided the where- with-all by which the paper was partially financed. Again we must congratulate the boys in helping maintain an eight page paper, and also the manner in which the paper was distributed. Every Tuesday nite we could count on reading the REFLECTOR before we were ready for bed. We can also thank the business staff for giving us in each and every issue a copy of the weekly COLLEGIATE DIGEST. The business staff on Tuesday night.

THE REVEILLE, official annual publication of Mississippi State, has in its thirty-sixth edition, striven to please the student body. We have endeavored to give the students somethin3 entirely new and different in the way of yearbooks on this campus. In our snapshot section we have sathered the most typical shots available of campus life. It was our good fortune to have been able to obtain snow scenes which we hope will bring back pleasant memories to you in years to come. The 1940 REVEILLE has more pictures and more pages than any yearbook ever published at Mississippi State, and we have endeavored to make the quality equal the quantity. Everyone makes mistakes, even editors and members of yearbook staffs, but by using the positive identification method of placing pic- tures, we have tried to give an accurate listing of individual photo- graphs. The Who ' s Who contest and Beauty contest sponsored by the REVEILLE were both very successful. The majority of snapshots in this edition were submitted by students, and it was through their co-opera- tion that we were able to obtain pictures typical of life at State. In the Showboat edition we have endeavored to bring to the stu- dent body a glimpse into the Mississippi that our forefathers knew. It has also been our desire to add a little color and humor to the REVEILLE, and give recognition to our beautiful State of Mississippi.

Today it is recognized as one of the finest humor magazines in the nation. Editor James Prestridge has given us a magazine that is different, but not too different to be enjoyed. Kitty Kat and the Dirt Dauber have made us all wait with fear in our hearts until each issue is published. For some they were the cause of sighs of relief; for others they caused silent shudders and red faces, but for all they brought laughter in their witty gossip. The Sweetheart Parade, with its bevy of beautiful young ladies, proved to be a huge success. Each month four favorites ' pictures appeared with an interesting biog- raphy about each one.

At the end of the year each candi- date ' s name was placed on a ballot, and the five students receiving the highest number of votes were named as members of the MIS-A-SIP HALL OF FAME. Jack Hayes and his assistants have done a fine job with the commercial end of the magazine. They can be seen at almost any hour of the night or day with a pencil in one hand and a contract in the other. Jack has been very for- tunate in having Billy Slack as his Advertising Manager. They have made a good combination, even at the cross- roads on Saturday nights. The MIS-A-SIP has come a long way since 1936, and with its staff of original writers and artists, it should go still farther in years to come.

Dona Wilson, beautiful senior from M. S. C. W., was chosen by the Dance Committee to lead the dances, and a more graceful and charming person could not have been selected. The Mid-Winters were equally suc- cessful with Ozzie Nelson at the helm. His charming little vocalist, Rose Anne Stevens, won the hearts of all State boys, and green eyed glances from their dates, with a voice that makes men out of little boys. Daisy Hogan, one of our own campus prod- ucts, was the Queen that added just what was needed to make these dances the best.

SAINT PATRICK, Tom Landrum, and his queen, Eliza- beth Parrish, reigned over festivities of the third annual Engineer ' s Day of Mississippi State held on Saint Patrick ' s Day, March 16. Engineering undergraduates, bedecked with green hats and enormous green bow-ties honoring their patron saint, ushered hundreds of guests from Mississippi and neighboring states throughout the day ' s programs. These students were excused from class duties and turned their attention to making a success of what has been established as a custom among them. They had previously elected their saint and his queen. All day crowds thronged through exhibits in the en- gineering and science buildings prepared by students from the five engineering departments. These exhibits represented actual work and study carried on in the various departments. At eleven in the morning visitors were entertained on the parade ground with a regimental parade by the entire R. O. T. C. Cadet Corps and a fancy drill exhibition by the Scabbard and Blade. Immediately after lunch, sophomore engineering stu- dents defeated the freshmen in an annual tug-o-war, COMMITTEE W. F. LaHATTE Electrical CARL OAKES Aeronautical MITCHELL BUTTS Civil W. H.

During the afternoon Saint Patrick crowned his queen, and the two were honored in the college auditorium. The patron saint knighted senior engineers as Knights of Saint Patrick. A program of Irish songs by the col- lege Glee Club and Irish airs by the State Collegians, with an act of tricks, concluded the afternoon ' s ac- tivities. A banquet, held in the college cafeteria, was fea- tured by good food and good speeches. L. J. Folsc of the State Planning Commission was principal speaker, with Doug Kenna of the State Highway Department serving as toastmaster. The annual Engineer ' s Ball, with the queen presiding, was staged in the evening. At intermission, a brilliant fireworks display was given on the parade ground. Members of the Executive Engineer ' s Day Committee, responsible for the success of the day, were Franklin LaHatte, chairman; Mitchell Butts, Billy Peal Oakes, and Joe Harz.

Our mascot, Bully, was struck down by a bus on College Drive. Bully was in the midst of his fifth year of service as the mascot. Most of us doubt that there ever was an uglier, lazier dog alive, nor one that was better fed, but we all know that despite his appearance and his appetite, there was never a better - natured nor better - loved dog alive. To prove that he held a place in each of our hearts, he was given a funeral such as few people re- ceive, and certainly such as no dog had ever received. All morning Bully lay in state in his glass cov- ered c offin under the clock in Lee Hall. At one o ' clock in the afternoon the student body marched to Scott Field to see him laid under the sod of the football field. A thousand cadets stood at attention; the famous Maroon band played fu- neral dirges; the football squad passed slowly by and dropped flowers on his grave; eulogies were read over him; and two thousand people stood in the stadium with heads uncovered and bowed, all paying homage to this best of all mascots, the still loved and not to be forgotten Bully.

School of Business School of Education School of Business School of Science THE STORY of the JUNIORS These boys and girls, the members of the class of ' 41, have now been at State for three years, and, as is the case in most courses here at State, the worst year, their junior year, is behind them. Or, at least they hope that such years don ' t come twice in succession. It seems like an awful long time has passed since they were graduating from high school, but in reality it has only been three years. Their senior year in high school was the year of the floods. Some of the delta lads well remember the overflowing of the Coldwater river. That was in the mid- dle of the winter, though, and by the time spring rolled around, such minor misfortunes were completely forgotten in the excitement of their high school graduation. Pride of the Maroon Band Then came their freshman year at college. Their heads and vanities, which had become more or less slightly oversized during that l ast year in high school, were reduced back to normal by the very simple expedient of being freshmen at State. They were freshmen during the ' 37- 38 session, the last year before the building and occupation of the two new dormitories. It was during that year that the old Main Dorm was filled almost to the overflowing point. Some of the members of the class of 1941 lived in the damdest places their freshman year. The rifle range in the basement of old Main was partitioned off into rooms by the use of plywood. The old REFLECTOR office, the present offices of the REVEILLE, and even some of the band hall space were used in an effort to put ' em all somewhere.

School of Engineering School of Engineering School of Education School of Agriculture THE STORY of the JUNIORS Staters had always bragged about the largest dormitory, under one roof, in the world, large enough to hold 2,000 boys, being located at State. Ever since that year you haven ' t heard that tale nearly so much as you used to, for that year it darn near had to hold 2,000 boys, and to say that it was slightly crowded would be a gross understatement. The football team that year wound up with its poorest record in three years, but even at that they beat Ole Miss. That was the season that Ralph Sasse lost his health in midseason and resigned. It was during that season that the Girls in White put on their little act at football games, and prob- ably got more publicity than the foot- ball team itself. Remember Big What, no mail? Andy Kirkpatrick ' s remarks about the gals and the controversy that resulted? That was the year that Chick Hosch edited the REFLECTOR, the same year that Hosch and the administra- tion were forever quieting Eddy Thax- ton, sports editor for the rag that year, who consistently insisted on say- ing too much of what he thought. Those who saw it will never forget the State-Ole Miss game at Oxford that year. All of the State men that had nerve enough to bet on that game got rich that day by taking 13 point spots from Ole Miss backers. State won that day, about the last thing the experts figured they could do, by a score of 9 to 7. Parker Hall, later to garner All-American hon- ors at Ole Miss gave us two points on a safety that day. State made seven more points the hard way, and then Ole Miss ' Ray Hapes stole the CLYDE CHARLES NEILSON PARMER EGGER, JR. EGGER 2 II Caledonia, Miss. 2$E Hamilton, Miss.

School of Education THE STORY of the JUNIORS ball to make a touchdown that was the most undeserved that Staters ever saw. Remember how nobody sat down at all the entire fourth quarter of that 3ame? The members of the class of ' 41 got to go home for Thanksgiving that year. Some of that same class were more than just a little defiant about learning the freshman report that Christmas. Not that they weren ' t good freshmen, it was just that one of their attributes was not a love for peace. Remember the big fight in the band hall that year? It was mainly instigated by members of this same class. It was a pitched battle be- tween the freshman footballers led by Red Campbell, as the invaders, and the occupants of the band hall sec- Come on, boys, grow up. tion as the defenders. If you didn ' t get hit with a bottle, it was either a broom or else a banister rung. Some of the biggest water fights in the history of the old school were held by the members of this class. If you don ' t believe that you can ask the good Major, for didn ' t he get knocked down more than once that year by the stream from a fire hose. The class of ' 41 lost several of their members the first time they went up to bat their freshman year, for long was the list of those that struck out on the mid-term exams that year. They were hardly over, though, when Will Osborne arrived to play for the mid- terms, and long was the list that now swung out to the music of that ex- ponent of slide music as a good time was had by all at one of State ' s most successful dances of all times.

School of Education School of Business School of Engineering School of Science THE STORY of the JUNIORS Even spring elections were more vio- lent than usual that year. The mem- bers of the class of ' 41 strictly got an insight into politics right at the out- set, as everything in the book, and a lot that wasn ' t, was pulled that year. Remember Jack Lindsey and his bird- dog? That was the year that Jim Buck Ross defeated the opponents of his machine by branding them as TNEs, when he himself was a Seven, but none of his opponents had sense enough to prove it. Remember how too many people were stinky and didn ' t vote for Pinky, and how Dickie Carlisle sold the MIS-A-SIP editorship and moved in on the REVEILLE race? Mud and more of it was the theme of that year ' s elections. And thus passed the first year of That ' s not THE Red Campbell, of Lowndes, is it? the class of I94l ' s college life. It was a stormy and turbulent year, with rarely a dull moment. Their sopho- more year was not to prove nearly as exciting, for the next year was a bad one. The only good thing about their sophomore year was that no longer were they freshmen, for now they no longer took orders, but instead gave them. Their sophomore year the football team fared not even as well as they had the year before, even losing to Ole Miss. As freshmen their class- mates, the members of the freshman football team, had swamped the Ole Miss frosh eleven, but these same classmates fared not so well as sopho- more members of the varsity. In fact, most of their efforts back-fired, though it wasn ' t from lack of trying. Gone was Sasse.

Gone were the girls in white. Gone, but just for one year, was the com- paratively newly rediscovered ability to beat Ole Miss. The old school spirit was still here, though, with George Armstrong helping keep it up on a high plane. Never to be for- gotten was the show of school spirit displayed the night before the Ole Miss game that year. A lot of them fell by the wayside around exam-time, for they were find- ing this sophomore year a lot harder than their freshman year. Not that they were the first class to do that, because for years and years it has seemed that the professors enjoyed weeding out classes here at State. They began to realize about then that What, no correspondence from the Ace? they didn ' t know what they were get- ting into their freshman year. Oh, no, they weren ' t sorry, for by now they knew that the longer you stayed around this place, the more it gets into your blood and the harder it is to leave. Music for the mid-terms that year was furnished by Jan Savitt with his shuffling rhythm that had everyone shuffling with ' im. Not long after that came spring holidays and spring elections. Spring holidays were longer than they had been the year before, and though there was the usual battle over the constitution, still politics were neither as dirty nor as bitter as they had been their freshman year. They went home at the end of that sophomore year surer than ever before that State was the only college in the South that they would go to, even if Ole Miss had won that year.

School of Agr iculture School of Education School of Business School of Science THE STORY of the JUNIORS were even more surer that there was nothing that could hold a candle to this so-called college life. Hopes had they that the next two years wouldn ' t be as hard scholastically as had the past one, but they knew that if they were they could come a lot closer to taking such difficulties in stride than they had that year. Most of them received lectures at home about those lousy grades, and they in turn re- solved to maybe let study interfere with their education a bit more in the future. Not a lot more, you under- stand, but then they hadda promise something, didn ' t they? Some of them found |obs through the summer months. Others came to summer school and cluttered up the campus for six or twelve weeks. Still Don ' t you just love the snow? others stayed at home and either just plain loafed or else helped Dad. You can just bet though that they were all glad to get back in September to see all the boys again and start another year. This year was a lot better to us all than was last year, and that holds for these juniors, too. Of course they found it to be in most instances the hardest year of all, but most of them weathered it in fine style, in fact their grades were even a little higher than they had been their sophomore year, probably because in lots of cases their sophomore year, it was the boys that were high instead of the grades. Some of the luckier ones roomed in Hull and Magruder Halls this year. More than likely it wasn ' t so much luck as it was having senior pals who would sign them in.

Soda Springs, Idaho School of Education School of Agriculture School of Engineering School of Science THE STORY of the JUNIORS Opening Dances this year, and the juniors as well as everyone else had a pretty good time at said dances. The football team was one of the best things of the year. In fact, it was as good a team as State ever had, winning eight games, including a glorious win over the Rebels, and losing only two, both of them by one- touchdown decisions. This was the third coaching staff these fellows had seen here in as many years, and it seemed to be without a doubt the nearest to being ideal, even if foot- ball did seem to be getting entirely too professional. After the Maroons steam-rollered Arkansas early in the season there was talk of Bowl games, but such talk was doomed to be short-lived, just as it Marvin and Harvey, — schoolboys. had been in the past. The remainder of the season was quite different from the one their freshman year, however. That year State had been picked as the number one team of the nation, and that had proved to be the num- ber one bum guess of the season. This year State was chosen by the experts to crowd Sewanee and Florida in the cellar, but by now so-called football experts were used to being wrong in regards to State. Christmas holidays were longer than usual this year, as were spring holi- days. Ozzie Nelson furnished the music for the mid-terms this time, and a good time was as usual had by all. Mr. Nelson was on the hot side, and that curvacious vocalist of his, Ro- sanne, showed no tendencies whatso- ever toward icing over. The juniors had as big a time as anyone else in the deep snow this BURTON CECIL ETHEL PRESHING TOLBERT, JR. TRAWICK Philadelphia, Miss. Meridian, Miss.

School of Business School of Agriculture School of Science School of Agriculture THE STORY of the JUNIORS year. The same goes for Engineer ' s Day. And these same juniors were right there throwing mud at each other at election time, and they were the same guys who thought it more or less despicable and generally unnec- essary their freshman year, just two short years ago. Yes, they have changed a lot. Col- lege, and it is just as true of State as it is any other college, has an amazing effect on most people. The old days of going to college just to get some more book larnin are past. Now college is intended to broaden students along all lines. Just as is the case in anything else, you get noth- ing more out of it than you put into it, and it is just as pleasant as you want to make it. Sorry, Dan, I have a date. Now these members of the class of ' 41, who were juniors during the past session, are classified as seniors. Their last year is just ahead of them. Dur- ing the summer there will be a lot of good resolutions made, and next year probably just as many good resolu- tions broken. They will all resolve to have more fun their senior year, for after all that is the last one of those carefree collitch days, as Li ' l Abner put it. Yet, at the same time, they are beginning to get a bit more seri- ous an outlook towards life, and another oft-made resolution will be to apply themselves better this next year. Just one more year for these fel- lows, and we, the outgoing staff of the REVEILLE wish them their best year, more fun, and at the same time better grades. OFFICERS W. C.

THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES In May of 1940 these boys and girls were just half through with their col- lege education. The easiest half of their college days lie behind them, for the next two years are rough and bumpy. In two years, though, they have learned a lot, these sophomores. Prob- ably the main thing they have found out is that it is bad practice to allow studying to interfere seriously with their college education. By now they have definitely decided that there ' s nothing like it, this college life, and some of them have even decided that they will be in no hurry to graduate. Suppose we review the lives of these sophomores while they have been in college. No, let ' s do better than that. Let ' s go back two full How about a lift? years ago to the spring of 1938. Two little years ago (it seems like an awful long time to them) these same sopho- mores were in the whirl of high school graduation. They were walking on air back then. They thought they had ac- complished something big, and were full of more or less righteous self-sat- isfaction. It was a lot of fun back then. There were graduation parties, teas and dances in their honor. Their best girls were right proud of them, or to be more correct in more instances, made them think they were proud anyway. Naw, they didn ' t know much about women, but you couldn ' t tell them that. No, they were too smart to lis- ten much to anyone. Why, weren ' t they graduating from high school this spring and then going on to college to get smarter. And so in December of that same MILTON ABROMS JOHN CRAWFORD ADAMS JAMES ROBERT AGNEW, JR.

School of Business School of Business THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES year they went off to college. In no time at all after their arrival here on the campus at State they found that they knew less and less about more and more. No longer were they high school seniors. Oh no, for now they were that lowest of all living crea- tures, college freshmen. They, who were used to being kingpins in their own little sphere, were now just pins, and little ones at that. If they were lucky they didn ' t carry more than four upperclassmen ' s laun- dry bags to and from the laundry. If they were smart they didn ' t taunt the upperclassmen, nor forget many laun- dry bags, that is unless they just en- joyed eating standing up. They soon realized that a freshman leads a dog ' s life, but that it was a lot of fun, even Signals: Hep, two, three, — if there were a few tallies collected along the way. As freshmen they elected Collins Wohner as their president, Hugh Moore as their vice-president, and W. C. Brookshire, later elected the most typical freshman, as their sec- retary and treasurer. Their freshman year was a hard year on State. Five students lost their lives that year, more than in any school ses- sion in recent years. The football team started out like a house afire in a March wind, and wound up by losing the Golden Egg to end one of the most dismal seasons in years. Even politics were particularly bad that year, with a harder fight than usual ensuing over the yearly amending of a constitution that they couldn ' t see much point in anyway. Theirs was a typical freshman year. Their numerals, ' 42, appeared on the WILLIAM EDWARD CLAYTON JOE COGA CLOWER, JR. BERNARD HILL COGGINS ECKFORD LARRY COHEN Lauderdale, Miss. Biloxi, Miss.

That year was also the freshman year of the Student Association Open- ing Dances, with Rita Rio furnishing the music. That was something, too, those swaying hips and saucy lips, but then we were discussing the sopho- mores, the class of ' 42, weren ' t we. Then, there was the annual pajama parade at Homecoming Day, with Good -deed Dotty McWilliams stealing the show. The fall that year was interspersed with dreary trips to New Orleans, Meridian, Memphis, and Baton Rouge to see our Bulldogs take nasty lickings.

The night before the Ole Miss game these members of the class of ' 42 saw school spirit as most of them never dreamed it existed when the bass drum was beaten all night long as students tried to work themselves into thinking the football team had a chance the next day. Not that the football team lost ingloriously, for they put up a valiant fight that day, but the Rebels were a rather deter- mined outfit. When Christmas rolled around, they learned the freshman report just as all other freshman classes have for years and years. Some of them thought the upperclassmen were fooling when they said learn it, but they found out dif- ferently, for that is something an up- perclassman loves to hear, the fresh- man report.

School of Education THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES Shortly after Christmas came mid- term exams, and then there were fewer members of the class of ' 42 than there once had been, but then there was nothing unusual about that. After those exams were over, the first set of college exams they ' d ever taken, or vice versa, as the case often was, things began to pick up, as they al- ways do. There followed the mid-term dances, the fraternity dances, Engineer ' s Day (and this class of ' 42 won the tug-of- war that day), spring inspection, where they first decided that non-military studes get all the breaks for they get holidays while the military drill and then drill some more, the ag festival, the final dances and then exams and home. They were surprised at the ra- Old Rockin ' Chair ' s Got Me. pidity with which March, April, and May seemed to fly by, but the older students told them that it always seemed that way. Thus, they reached the end of their freshman year. A lot wiser were they than they had been the preceding September. They ' d discovered that there was a lot more to this college life than just classes and books. And they all decided at the end of the year when they got their sophomore sign off that as sophomores they were going to have a freshman wait on them hand and foot. So, September of 1939 found most of them back again, only this time they were upperclassmen ordering freshmen around instead of being or- dered around as freshmen as had been the case the year before. It was a novel experience. In practically no time at all they found that there was EDMUND GUS HEILBRONNER DAVE SIMUEL HENDERSON WALTER EUGENE HENSLEIGH SIDNEY FRANKLIN HERRIN Kosciusko, Miss.

School of Engineering School of Science THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES nothing comparable to having fresh- men carry their laundry, make up their beds, shine their shoes, run their errands, and count as they swung the belt. Now they were sophomores, these members of the class of ' 42, and though they might not have realized it they were entering upon their most carefree and enjoyable year of their college lives. That is the general con- sensus of opinion at State, that you have more fun your sophomore year than any other year. The sophomore year is a peculiar year. They have had a year in which to accustom themselves to college life, and then they come back to school that second year, and as a general rule overdo that popular principle of There ' s one born every minute. not letting study interfere seriously with one ' s education. They pick up all sorts of habits they never thought they would. They do less studying that year than they do any other year in college. It is more or less from one extreme to another. As freshmen they had taken orders, looked down their noses at upperclassmen for drinking, gambling, and carousing too much, and even studied a bit. As sopho- mores they were giving orders, think- ing what a tame bunch of infants these freshmen are, and not studying a bit, until cramtime, ten days usually before exams. It is quite a transition, and though it is interesting to watch to the older students who have been through the same thing, still it is hard for a lot of them to take.

School of Business School of Agriculture THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES members of the Colonel Club, an or- ganization composed only of sopho- mores. The ones that had been mem- bers of the Freshman Y Council now became members of the Sophomore y Council, and a selected few were made members of the big Y Cabinet. The dime-a-dozen type of big shot began to develop amongst their num- ber, for now they were upperclassmen, no longer freshmen, and had all the privileges that the word upperclassmen vested in them. And far was it from them not to make full use of these privileges. The football team had a most suc- cessful season that year. The first soft games were taken in stride. Sand- wiched in there somewhere was the week-end of the opening dances. Watch that curve, Sis. There were two defeats suffered by the football team, heartbreaking one- touchdown defeats that soon fol- lowed. Right up to the Ole Miss game the team then went with only those two defeats to mar their slate, and right through the Rabble they went to win their eighth game of the season, thus completing as successful a season as State ever had. These sophomores got to go home for Thanksgiving this time, but most of them were up at Oxford when Sat- urday rolled around. Just a couple of weeks later Christmas holidays began. But this year was much more different from their first year. This time it was they who demanded to hear the fresh- man report. The shoe was on the other foot now, and how they enjoyed it. They were the ones now who de- manded of freshmen that they give the report, and they were now the JAMES LEWIS MONTGOMERY JOHN HEBRON MOORE WILLIAM FRANK MOORE HARRy BERNARD MORRISON, JR.

School of Agriculture School of Science THE STORY of the SOPHOMORES ones who collected tallies for each mistake, and a lot of them went home hinting for new belts for Christmas. After Christmas there was less time than usual this year between the end of the holidays and exams, and there- fore much less time for cramming. The members of the class of ' 42 were fewer after those exams, for now it wasn ' t like last year. When they were freshmen and busted out of a school, they could transfer into another school and forget it. Not so when they were upperclassmen, for once they bust out of a school now, they bust right out of college, for the transferring to another school alternative is open only to freshmen. Following the mid-term exams were the mid-term dances, with Ozzie Nel- son wielding the baton, and the soph- Now do you believe in evolution? omores had as good a time as anyone else in one of the best dance sets ever held here. Right after the mid-term exams came the heaviest snow and coldest weather in the history of northeast Mississippi. Most of them had never seen so much snow in all their young lives. A good time was had by all, that is all except Dr. Mitchell at the hospital, for, thanks to stunts such as riding to town on cafeteria trays be- hind cars, the casualty list was high. Oh, yes, it was a cold winter, but spring wasn ' t too late in arriving. There were the usual fraternity dances all along. Came Engineer ' s Day and the class of ' 42 covered itself with glory. As freshmen they had beaten the sopho- mores, the year before, in the annual Engineer ' s Day tug-of-war. Then this year as sophomores they proved their stamina by defeating the freshmen in GEORGE EDWARD ROGERS Booneville, Miss. KS New Albany, Miss. New Albany, Miss. D r e w, M i s s.

Of course there was a bit of mumbling against their hav- ing won by such foul methods as tying the rope around a tree, etc., but if they were wise enough to do it and get away with it, so what. That made them the first class in history to play a repeat performance in the struggle. Then there were spring holidays, the week after Easter, and they wondered as many classes had before them why it was that Easter and spring holi- days were never made to coincide. They may have been reconciled, how- ever, by the fact that it was the long- est spring holiday ever given the stu- dents of State. After that there was spring military inspection, and th e lazier ones swore that they ' d be glad when this year was over for never again would they don a uniform and Say, she ' s a peach. that next year they would go home whilst the other suckers drilled in the hot April sun. Then came in rapid succession the ag festival, the final dances, and final exams. Home again they went, this time half through with their college education. A lot of them wondered would they keep having a better and better time each year. At the end of their fresh- man year they had thought that they had never had a better time, and that there wasn ' t a better place than dear old State, nor a better life than they had led there that year. Now, at the end of their sophomore year, they were sure that they had had more fun as sophomores than they ' d ever had before; they were still sure there wasn ' t a better place than State; and they realized then what they really hadn ' t fully realized the year before what a great life this college life really was.

School of Science School of Engineering School of Engineering School of Education THE STORY of the FRESHMEN In September of 1939 there descended on the campus of Mississippi State College, located amongst the trun- cated hills of Oktibbeha county, one of the largest, but unusually docile, Freshman Classes in the history of the institution. Older students were sur- prised to see how peaceful they were, something very unusual for a Freshman Class. It took weeks longer than it usually does for the incoming Fresh- man Class ' numerals to appear on the water tank, which is always freshly painted at that season of the year, seemingly just so the frosh can mess it up. Why, they even lost the Engi- neer ' s Day tug-of-war with the sopho- mores, something no other Freshman Class had ever done. Strictly a peace-loving outfit, this How ' d you guess I was a freshman? class of 1943 is nothing like the classes that immediately preceded it. Why, it ' s been so bad this session that for any fun in the dormitories the upper- classmen had to start it all themselves. Before we continue this discourse, however, it might be well to review the lives of these frosh for the past couple of years. Back during the 1938-1939 session these same members of the class of 1943 were very enthused over being members of the graduating class of 1939 in their respective high schools. It was a year of a lot of fun. They were the big shots. They were the folks that underclassmen looked up to. They were in the limelight, and oh how they basked in it and enjoyed it. There were parties given in their honor, to which they could take their RODNEY JAMES DOYLE WESTLEY CHILDRESS CHRESTMAN Pope, Miss. Charleston, Miss.

It was that year that the old line But, Dad, this is my senior year and after all . . . and so on until poor old Dad just had to give in from sheer exhaustion, was worked to its best ad- vantage, and that greatest of all guys the old man gave and gave, for he was proud of his son or daughter. Some of them took part in the usual high school Senior Class plays, and some of them even took the ap- plause seriously as a tribute to their acting instead of as a tribute to their popularity. Oh, yes, the glory was all theirs that year. When graduation time rolled around their heads had all in- creased two hat sizes. All of their kinfolk sent them graduation presents. Ipana for the smile of beauty. Their families were awfully proud of them, and they were glad that their families were proud of them, and everybody was happy. A common topic of conversation then was where he or she was going to college the next year. They split up and scattered. Some of them stayed at home to help Dad run the farm or the business. The more privi- leged were all going to college. Back in those days they were full of high ideals, and thought that people that went to college all went there just to enlarge their education. The world was their oyster and they were going to open it.

No, they didn ' t pay much attention to the commencement speaker. They resented his referring to their graduation as just a stepping- stone, and they had heard that tripe about what a cold, cruel world it is before. That was all old stuff and more than just a trifle over-worked in their opinion. Yes, those were happy days, for they were riding high, full of high ideals. And such a state of mind lasted more or less all summer. Then around rolled September. The more intelligent and more industrious ones Freshmen on parade. came to State, while the others went to Ole Miss and like institutions. The deflation of a freshman ' s ego never has been known to be gradual here at State, and it was no more gradual for this class than it was for preceding classes. When they regis- tered they were warned of things to come by being told to hurry and have their REVEILLE pictures made while they still had some hair. And the wiser ones went right on down and had their pictures made, while those not so wise had to have their pictures made a month or two later while their hair was still on the short side. For, it wasn ' t long after they registered that the hair began to fall, just three or four days. Dormitory rooms were full of hair; the halls were full of hair; and the heads of the male members of the Freshman Class CHARLES PIERCE HOUSEJR. Cleveland, Miss.

School of Agriculture School of Business School of Agriculture School of Business THE STORY of the FRESHMEN were utterly devoid of hair, as upper- classmen fiendishly wielded scissors. Of course there was a little left, but for the first five or six weeks it couldn ' t be called anything more than just fuzz. The falling of the hair was only the beginning, though, as the now almost despondent frosh were to find out. If an upperclassman ' s room needed cleaning a broom was put in his hands, or else a belt was laid not at all lightly nor politely across his . . . well, you call it. In practically no time at all he found that he was relegated to the status of flunkey to any and all upper- classmen. As soon as the laundry opened he was amazed to find that he had not only his own, but also the ' S ?l « Truckin ' on down. laundry of some five or six upperclass- men to carry as well. He became ac- customed to being asked why ' nhell his Mother hadn ' t taught him to make up beds better ' n that. He got used to hearing things like: Hey, frosh, bring some polish in here and shine my shoes ; or Hey, frosh, go get me a chaser ; or Say, frosh, go get me some change. These guys won ' t play nuttin ' but penny-ante. Some of them whined about such treatment, and all that they got for their troubles was more and more of just such treatment, for no one catches it worse than a freshman that can ' t take it. And that hat that he had bought for his high school graduation exercises wouldn ' t fit any more, for now his head was losing some of its former inflation and now it was too big. JAMES WILLIAM A.

School of Engineering School of Agriculture School of Engineering School of Engineering THE STORY of the FRESHMEN For some there was a hectic fra- ternity rush week, a week that left them completely worn out, maybe even with their first hang-over, or maybe with just a hang-over. They found that they had a lot to learn, and that no more were they big shots, and they found that that commencement speaker might have been right after all about its being a cold, cruel world, that is, the pessi- mistic ones found that out. The regu- lar fellows amongst them, though, soon found out that they could have just as much fun being freshmen and waiting on the upperclassmen as they had had as big shots back home, for all of this was a new and interesting experience. They learned a lot of things with Sal Hepatica for the smile of health. amazing rapidity. There were a lot of new expressions to be added to their vocabulary such as R. A. In no time at all they found that with the aid of their frosh caps and an energetic thumb that it was no distance to Columbus at all. And just as soon as they found that out they decided that MSCW was a helluva place what with all their rules over there. A few of the brave-but-dumb variety were in- veigled into eating supper in the Messy-W dining hall with the home- town gal, and afterwards swore never again after having their fuzzy heads stared at and their appetites not even well whetted by the meager Sunday night fare at that institution. Another thing they soon learned was that co-eds were to be strictly left to the upperclassmen, for as fresh- JAMES HENRY LAFAYETTE FAWCETT PERRY PETERS Ph i I a d e I p h i a, M i ss. Rutherford, N.

School of Agriculture School of Agriculture School of Education School of Education THE STORY of the FRESHMEN men they were not considered capable of handling such matters. In fact, they found that co-eds were not for them at all, but were instead for the big shots. They discovered that all engi- neering students were prejudiced against ag students; that the business school students were considered by everyone but the business school stu- dents to be very lazy and to have no studying at all to do. When the football season started they discovered that no matter how dull the game they were supposed to cheer continuously. They decided that there was nothing like school spirit as it is shown here at State. Another little thing about football that they learned was that they had to leave the campus to see a decent game. Treading the beaten path. Further, they found out that football trips were the most carefree and ir- responsible things that anybody ever discovered for the recreational in- terests of the American public. When the Ole Miss game rolled around they really saw what school spirit was, and they found that the sky was the limit at that game; that no matter what was done State was always in the right. They saw that the State team would play like men pos- sessed when they lined up against Ole Miss. The frosh too went home cursing that smoke-stack that poured soot and smoke down on the State stands throughout the game. At the first student association dances, they were amazed to find that you had to be a filthy, bloated, pluto- crat to have a date here for that PAT CHARLES HARRISON LEE SHIVERS SHUMATE Shivers, Miss.

It was long about then that they began to get used to being for- ever in debt and not worrying about it. They laughed when upperclassmen warned them that a date for a stu- dent association dance set would cost anywhere from ten to twenty-five dol- lars. Not for long did they laugh however, for the upperclassmen knew whereof they spoke. A few weeks before Xmas holidays they began to wonder what this freshman report was that they were hearing talk about. They didn ' t have to wonder long, however, and they soon learned that the best thing to do about the freshman report was to learn it and be prepared to give it any time anywhere. If they didn ' t learn it there was always some old So I says to him, I say — mean upperclassman around swinging a belt. Months later they were amazed to discover that they still knew it. Upon inquiry they discovered that everyone that ever learned it in a similar manner, with a belt swinging menacingly in the background, still knew it, even seniors who had learned it anywhere from three to six years ag o. Along came the first semester exams and right there many of them fell by the wayside. A lot of engi- neering freshmen transferred into the business school, as hundreds of others had done before them. Some of them made Phi Eta Sigma, in fact a large number of them, which partly explains the docility mentioned in the opening paragraphs. You might even reach the conclusion that some of them had been studying. ROGER JOHN WILSON FRANKLYN TRUESDALE TRUITT Ofahoma, Miss. Z X Minter City, Miss.

School of Business School of Eng School of Eng THE STORY of the FRESHMEN Speaking of the docility of the 1943 class, they have perpetrated none of the foul deeds of their predecessors. Not once did they gang up on the Scabbard and Blade initiates. They haven ' t even caught on to the fact that the fire-hoses in the old dorm are to be turned on everything but fires. No skull and crossbones have they run up the flag pole on a running slipknot as did the freshmen in the spring of 1937. Not one riot have they instigated in the band hall of the pro- portions of the 1937-1938 pitched battle. To sum up the freshmen of the ses- sion of 1939-1940, as a whole they are a pretty good class. Their love of peace and quiet may be offset by their intelligence as proven by the What ' s the matter, Will, slow-leakin ' ? number of them that made Phi Eta Sigma. Thanks to the fact that there are now three dormitories on the cam- pus instead of just the old Main Dorm, they are more scattered out and have not stuck together as have former classes, but just give ' em time. They still have a lot to learn, such as under- standing the eternal amending of the constitution; the hot words thrown around at election time. The main thing they will learn though is the fact that the longer they stay here at dear old State the more attached they will become to the place, the more they will like it and the life they lead here. They will come to the conclusion that there is absolutely nothing like it, that there will be no period in their lives when they will be happier and more carefree. en eta i S. D.

LEE The First President of the Mississippi State College Great as a soldier, great as a states- man, great as an educator There is no finer model after which the young men of Mississippi may fashion their lives; for he was a stanch friend, a just enemy, a generous neighbor, a lov- in g father, a tender husband — a noble gentleman.

GUARD THE COLOR GUARD is symbolic of loyalty and pride. State is proud of her colors because of the fact that for the past fourteen years she has received a rating of excellent in the annual military inspection. The cadets display their patriotism when they snap to the position of attention and salute when the colors are displayed. They carry with them an atmosphere of discipline. Whether on the parade ground or elsewhere, the colors act as a constant reminder of the great cause for which our forefathers shed their life ' s blood. Now we must leave the color guard for they have a specific duty to perform — the duty of leading the regiment as it passes in review before the cadet-colonel and his staff. OFFICERS U U. S.

ROSE and his excel- lent staff of officers turned out another cadet corps of which Mississippi State can well be proud. The efficient and earnest manner in which these men con- ducted their instruction, both in the classroom and on the drill field, has lately been responsible for the producing of as fine a group of soldiers as can be found in any R. O. T. C. unit. Every person interested in our school owes a vote of thanks to these men, who are characteristic of the progressiveness and efficiency of the United States Army personnel. Their untiring and patient efforts can be given much of the credit for our fourteenth consecutive Federal rating of Excellent — the high- est possible honor conferred upon an R. O. T. C. unit. Not to be forgotten in our praise is the fine work of the non-commissioned officers. The proverbial gruffness of sergeants is to be found lacking in these men with whom the military students were closely connected during their instruction on the field and in the classroom. In place of the harshness which is expected there is found a willingness to help, and these men have shown us the true spirit of the Army.

They have zealously fulfilled their positions as officers and of men, and it is students such as these that give us confidence in the future officers of the U. S. Army. These boys have much more to do than just walking over the parade ground giving commands to their subordinates. Four-fifths of their time is spent — not in marching up and down before the unit with a saber gleam- ing — but in classrooms learning elevation, range, and combat principles. It is not all pretty uniforms and brass bands, but days and nights of tire- some study. No organization is complete without a pretty face. State will not be found lacking in this quarter. We have one of the most gracious Honorary Cadet Colonels in the history of the school. Miss Mary Elizabeth Hartness, better known as Chubby, has filled the bill as no one else could. She has stood at her post in the reviewing stand in weather that kept many cadets in their bunks, but she stood with a slight smile on her face and as erect as any hardened soldier. We are proud of our R. O. T. C. unit as it marches down the field, and when we realize what hard work and effort has been put forth to make it what it is today, we are thankful for the progressive leaders who are largely responsible.

First Lieutenant, S-3 THE REGIMENT of Mississippi State is divided into three battalions. There are two battalions of Infantry and one battalion of Coast Artillery. The First Bat- talion is composed of Company A, Company B, and Company C ; the Second Battalion is com- posed of Company D, Company E, and Com- pany F ; and the Coast Artillery, Third Battalion, is composed of Battery I, Battery K, Battery L, and Battery M. The success of any military unit depends upon the ability and efficiency of its officers. We have been fortunate in having well trained senior officers for the year 1939-40. No student is eligible to become a commissioned officer until he has completed two years of basic work and one year of advanced study. At the completion of his junior year the student must go to a R. O. T. C. summer camp for a period of six weeks. Here he gets practical instruction in all the phases of military science that he has studied in school. His camp life consists of long drills, rifle and pistol marksmanship, gun drills, and combat princi- ples. He gets an insight on army life under war time conditions; not for the purpose of creating within him a desire to fight, but to prepare himself and develop his body as well as his mind. an 1 COMPANY A OFFICERS S.

The stu- dents and instructors entering into this sport do more work and get less praise than any other team on the campus. State ranked third in the Intersectional Shoulder to Shoulder Match of The National Rifle Association. The scores were as follows: Alabama — 1349, Georgia Tech — 1324, Mississippi State — 1320, Louisiana State University — 13 17, and Florida — 1288. Out of twenty-seven teams entering the William Randolph Hearst Trophy Match State finished in eighth place. The score was 91 I out of a possible 1000. Captain Hardy Banks finished in fifth place in Individual Match of the N. R. A. with a score of 275 out of a possible 300. Steve Crosby holds the Individual Mississippi State Range Record with a score of 381 out of a possible 400. BATTERY I OFFICERS J. H. BIDDY, JR. Captain W. H. BANKS First Lieutenant, Executive F. A.

WEEKS MENTAL CADET BAND MISSISSIPPI STATE has always been proud of its military unit, and the spark largely responsible for its striking parades is the Regimental Cadet Band. This year, for the first time in the history of the school, the Regimental Cadet Band is composed only of military stu- dents. In the past the same band that was used for football games and other activities was also used for a military band. Today, however, the cadet band is a distinct and separate unit dressed in regulation khaki instead of the tradi- tional maroon. The band is under the command of advanced officers of the Reserve Officers Training Corps, and is better disciplined than it has been in the past. Hard working and enthusiastic, these men have done their work well, and developed a unit that stands as high as any R. O. T. C. band. Much of the success of the band has been due to the progressiveness of Director Henry E. Wamsley and Assistant Director John Santillo, a newcomer to the State campus. Director Wamsley has served faithfully as bandmaster at State for eighteen years, and when we see all that he has achieved in these years of zealous labor we realize how fortunate we have been to have obtained the services of this man. Another improvement made in the band was the addition of another drilling sponsor, Mary C. Bennet. Veteran sponsor, Nancy Wamsley, and freshman drum major, Bill Snider complete the Cadet Band, and do their part to keep it on top where it belongs. The Cadet Band passes in Review.

We agreed with Ozzie Nelson and Rose Anne Stevens when they said, it ' s a tough job, but we con- gratulate them on their excellent choice. The students selected fifteen of the most beautiful co-eds on the campus in the annual Who ' s Who elec- tion.

Ji CHEER LEADERS THE CHEER LEADERS at State will lon g be remembered for their loyalty and support for the athletic teams. Even in time of bitter defeat they strive on to uphold the morale of the teams and student body. They disregard scoreboard readings and scream, clown, and tumble their way over the disappointments and sour faces of the students. With vim, vigor, and vitality they march shoulder to shoulder with the student body display- ing the team spirit which is the best in the country. The cheers which they have developed are an inspiration not only to the students but also to the supporters of State as a whole. With these cheers they endeavor to reach the depths of one ' s heart and bring out the courage, goodwill, and enthusiasm with which he is endowed. State is deeply grateful to these five persons for their thank- less efforts to promote a zestful look in the eyes of the students and in the heart of the players a keen determination to win for the dear ole Maroon and White. THEY CAME, THEY SAW, THEY CONQUERED. Such is the story of three men. Allyn McKeen, who Coach Bob Neyland said had the brightest future as a coach of any man he had ever coached himself ; Murray Warmath, who was good enough to act as line coach under Major Neyland from the time he graduated until coming here; and Bowden Wyatt, who was chosen as the outstanding end of 1938 and was placed on the official All-American team, arc the men of whom we speak. Coming to a school which had tasted the dregs of defeat more often than the wine of victory, they pitched in with a whole-heartedness which was matched only by the spirit they instilled in the team they coached. Coming to a school where hard work and too strict training had come between the players and coach, McKeen announced that there would be no training during spring practice, thereby exhibiting a bit of well-placed psychology. Gaining the admiration and respect of the team, they started out late in the year trying to crowd into a few weeks all that other teams took many weeks to do. They installed the famous Tennessee system which they all had learned from the ground up. Word began to leak out of Starkville that we were going to have something in the way of a football team next year. Looking into the record book we find a little background on the man behind the wheel, McKeen, the master. Graduating in law from the University of Tennessee in 1930, he was highest in his class in scholastic standing. The following year he acted as assistant to Bob Neyland where he learned many of the tricks that made Neyland one of the outstanding coaches of the nation. When next the football season rolled around he was firmly entrenched at West Tennessee State Teach- ers College as head coach. Here he met with much success on the grid- iron. The year before coming to State, Coach McKeen had the distinc- tion of coaching the team that was the highest scoring college team in the nation. With an excellent record behind him, he came to State to see what he could do. When he accepted this position he accepted one that many people thought was a coaches ' graveyard. Hadn ' t Spike Nelson lasted only a year? And he had come from a big school too. But this didn ' t phase McKeen, the fighter. With a heart full of determination 7l.

Circle: Coach Dudy starts the ball rolling at the Annual Football Banquet. to make good his big chance, and a head full of expert foot- ball lore to back up his determination, he set to work. As insurance against a defeat by fate he brought along Warmath and Wyatt. Like a sculptor working on a prize exhibit, like a surgeon performing a delicate operation, he began the conquest of the opportunity that fortune had laid at his door. A word here, a substitution there,, a shift from tackle to guard or from wing back to tail back, with encouragement all around, he moulded his machine — our machine, the one that broug ht back the Golden Egg. Yes, Wyatt gave us Elrod, Carter, Harrison and Moore on the ends; Warmath gave us McDowell, Cohern, Shamburger and Tripson in the line; but McKeen — the master — gave us the Mississippi State Bulldogs, the UNIT that whipped L. S. U., Arkansas, Florida and Ole Miss. State is justly proud of its football coaches and mighty glad that they coach here instead of at Ole Miss. iu GOLDEN EGG THE CROWD WAS SILENT. The distant strains of Maroon and White faded out across the battle scarred turf of the Ole Miss stadium. On one side a drunk loudly shouted at someone he knew and was quickly hushed by a companion. Here a co-ed pulled her coat tighter against the biting November wind that blew clouds of smoke across the silent gathering. Wire fences strained against the push of the crowd of eager onlookers who were trying to get as close to the field as possible. The tinkling sound of a broken bottle mingled with the sound of the yapping dog that had fallen under the feet of the mob. The Golden Egg was about to be presented. The emblem of foot- ball supremacy between State and Ole Miss was once again returning to State. As the speaker finished his short talk, Captain Shag Goolsby reached for the trophy with a grimy, blood stained hand that clearly showed the struggle it had been through for the honor of carrying this back with him. Following a terrific goal post battle after the 1926 game, the stu- dent councils of the two schools got together and bought the Golden Egg. It is to be presented to the school winning the annual grudge game. The Golden Egg has come home — may it stay here until it becomes a permanent fixture. you are not a bad egg yourself, Coach. It looks as if the missus is proud of it too, Shag. Captain Goolsby presents the Golden Egg to Prexy Beard. ▼1 HP ■■■ ' .. r Top: Goolsby, Captain. . . .

STATE 45—HOWARD Opening the season with a surprising amount of power, the Mississippi State Maroons soundly trounced the Howard Bulldogs 45-0. Harvey Johnson circled his own left end and galloped 53 yards for the first State marker. Coach McKeen then sub- stituted a new team. Billy Jefferson tossed a pass to Buttermilk Harri- son, who fought his way over from the thirteen. George Carter kicked the ex- tra point to end the scoring for the first quarter. In the second quarter, Jefferson passed to Fridrich in the end zone for State ' s third tally. The third team en- tered the game and continued the sterling play. Collins Wohner, Maroon safety man, ran a Howard punt over for another score. Wohner weaved his way from his own 45 to score stand- ing up. Harvey Johnson scored the fifth Ma- roo.i touchdown on a beautiful 44-yard run through the entire Howard team. State ' s remaining scores came in the third period with Jefferson going over for the first. Johnson again brought the fans to their feet with a dazzling 75-yard pu.it return for the final score.

Hunter Cohern, State guard, reached in the air and pulled down one of Kay Eakin ' s passes and ran 25 yards behind beautiful blocking for the second Maroon tally of the quarter. Foots Johnson booted the extra point. The second and third quarters saw the air filled with punts as Arkansas ' Kay Eakin and State ' s Harvey Johnson engaged in a punting duel. Phantom Jack Nix ran 70 yards through the entire Arkansas team in the fourth quarter, only to have the play called back for a penalty. However, Jack was not to be outdone, for a few minutes later he intercepted an Arkansas pass and ran it back to the Razorback 13-yard line, to set up State ' s final score.

Jefferson replaced Chambers and fumbled after taking the ball to the three. Florida recovered and kicked to the 30 where Jefferson shot a bullet pass to Nix on the ' Gator 15. Nix fought his way over the goal for a score, and then kicked the extra point. State drove 53 yards in the last half for the second score. Collins Wohner, Maroon tailback, carried the ball valiantly to put it on the Florida 30. The State first team entered the fray with Nix, Tullos, and Chambers all gaining consistently.

State had scored two points on a safety before the echoes of the initial whistle had died. The Maroon second and third teams played the major portion of the fray. Fullback Toxie Tullos scored State ' s first touchdown to climax a 44-yard drive sparked by Foots Johnson. Just before the half, Johnson tossed a pass to Arnold Bear Moore, who stepped over for State ' s third score. Battering Billy Jefferson stepped 46 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter. Minutes later, Jack Nix chalked up another marker on a 12-yard reverse. Early in the fourth quarter, Under- wood, Lynx back, was swarmed as he attempted to punt, and State took the ball over on downs on the Lynx 13. In short order, Foots Johnson had crossed the goal for State ' s final tally. The five placement kicks were all good, with Dees contributing three, and Nix two.

From the State 4-yard line, Alabama ' s Charley Boswell tossed a short pass to End Holt Rast, to give ' Bama its margin of victory. Sandy Sandford was rushed into the game to kick the extra point. The game was not a spectacular one, due to the ab- sence of any long runs. Jack Nix reeled off the longest run of the game in the final period only to be pulled down by the ' Bcma safety man. State threatened in the second quarter, when Jefferson and Nix combined their efforts to push the ball to Ala- bama ' s II. Jefferson ' s spot pass to Dog Carter fell incomplete, however, and the ball went to Alabama on downs. Alabama penetrated State ' s 15-yard line only once, but that one time meant defeat for the Maroons. The State warriors failed to score on the strong Ala- bama eleven, bu! there was no disgrace in the defeat, as the Crimson Tide was the strongest team the Maroons had faced during the season.

Dees kicked the extra point to put State in the lead 7-0 only three minutes after the game started. About a min- ute later, Pop Turner broke through and blocked a Panther punt on the 14-yard line. The ball rolled over the end zo.ie and out of bounds, giving State an automatic safety. Chambers added six more points in the second period when he faked a kick and ran 80 yards through the entire Birmingham team. He also kicked the extra point. In the final period Walter Craig, a substitute back, ran 52 yards be- hind perfect interference to score. The Panthers then started a deter- mined drive, but Ben Griffin, third string State center, shattered their hopes of scoring when he intercepted a pass and raced 85 yards for State ' s final score.

Harvey Johnson carried the opening kick-off to the State 45, and then led the Staters through an oftensive that netted a touchdown. Without losing the ball, State marched for the score, with Nix passing to Elrod for 18 yards and Johnson ramming over left guard from the two. The Maroon lead was soon cut short, however, as Bird of L. S. U., threw a pass to Ken Kavanaugh only three plays later. As the Maroons swarmed around him, Kavanaugh tossed a lateral to Anastasio, who went on to the goal unmolested. The half ended with the score stand- ing at 6-all. Late in the third quarter, Jack Nix raced 45 yards to put State in the lead again, but the Tigers tied ' it up again in the final quarter with Hightower scoring after a sustained drive.

Only six minutes later Johnson made 19 yards in two attempts, to cross the Millsaps goal again. Hunk Chambers kicked the extra point. The second quarter was score- less with the Majors making a threat that was stopped when Buttermilk Harrison, State end, intercepted a Millsaps pass. Paced by Walter Craig and Chambers, the Maroons scored twice in the third quarter. Chambers scored the first from the three and Red Campbell pushed the second over from the two. Chambers also kicked one of the extra points. In the final period, Perchy Ford scored twice against the hapless Majors, and Dees kicked one of the extra points.

'  -, f DICK HITT, Coach Coach Dick Hitt took over the duties of basketball co ach at State and de- veloped a fast, hard-working team de- spite the lack of experienced lettermen. Coach Hitt, eldest of the famous Mis- sissippi College Hitt brothers, had the difficult task of instituting an entirely new system of play, the fast-break sys- tem, which he made famous at Missis- sippi College. His first season at State has shown that his work was not in vain. 9 % WILSFORD B A S K E T B THE MAROON CAGERS opened the season when Howard College invaded the campus for a pair of tilts. Using the new fast-break system of play, the Maroons captured the first game, 45-36, despite the fact that they were a bit ragged. Eustace Conway and Floyd Wilsford aided the Maroon cause with timely field goals to enable the State team to come from behind and win. ith 15 points, followed closely th Howard and Howard Howard Burks of Howard, paced the scorers by Craig and Wilsford, State forwards. State took an early lead in the second encounte was never able to overcome the Maroons. Conway of State, and Burks of Howard, shared the high-scoring honors with 12 points each. Conway scored 10 points during the second half. Buttermilk Harrison scored II points for the Maroons, and the entire squad showed some improvement over their initial battle. Coach Dick Hitt ' s quintet opened their conference slate with a victory over the Tigers of L. S. U. Walter Craig, State forward, put the Maroons out in front in the first minute of play, and the State squad never relinquished their lead. Conway, with 12 points, led the scoring for the battle, followed closely by Craig and Harrison. The floor work of Arnold Bear Moore, State guard, was one of the highlights of the fray. Paced by Buttermilk Harrison, State guard, the Maroon cagers won their fourth straight victory over the Millsaps Majors, 38-28. Coach Hitt shows how it is done. TOPPEL and MONTGOMERY Managers Jeep Toppel has proven that we are wrong when we say all yankees are damyankees. He is one of State ' s loud- est supporters, and although you may not always understand what he is saying, you can be sure that he is rooting for State. School spirit is the word for it. Sonny Montgomery is the gift of the freshman class to the sports world. He was the lanky freshman you saw running across the football field spilling all of that water last fall. Although only a freshman, Sonny knows every boy in the athletic dormitory, and the easiest way in the world to start a small war is to say something uncomplimentary abo ut them while around him. ! W8 BEARD MOORE HAAGA GARY SPRAGGINS ALL a t STATE... The Maroons got off to a slow start, and the Majors were leading at the half 20-14, but Harrison and Conway began hitting the wicker with deadly accuracy in the final half to put the game in State hands. Harrison scored 13 points to cop the scoring honors with Conway following closely with 12. The State cagers met defeat for the first time of the season when the L. S. U. Tigers handed them a 55-42 drubbing. Led by Brotherton, who made 24 points, the Tigers took an early lead which the Maroons were never able to overcome. State remained within threatening distance, however, until the final minutes of play when L. S. U. pulled away to win. Harrison scored 13 points to lead the Maroons. The State quintet stopped at Clinton on their return from Baton Rouge and administered a 58-47 drubbing to the Choctaws of Mississippi College. Both teams employed the fast-break system of play, but the Maroons worked more smoothly with Conway and Wilsford leading the attack. Conway and Har- rison shared scoring honors with 17 points each while Wiisford garnered 16. During the second half the Maroons piled up a 20-point lead before the sec- ond team was substituted. The Mississippi College Choctaws invaded the State campus for a return match. The Maroon cagers hit their stride and turned back the foe 73-52. Led by Captain Walter Craig, the Maroons began to pull away from the Chocs and continued to pile up an enormous lead at the half. Conway scored 15 points to follow Craig in the scoring. Fulton, Choctaw for- ward, copped the scoring honors with 21 points. Arnold Bear Moore was a tower of strength on the defense for the Maroons. State puts it through the hoop for two more points. in STUBBS TRELOAR EDWARDS HOLLIDAY HARRISON BASKETBALL d S Playing before a seH-out crowd in Vicksburg, the Maroon quintet dropped the Ole Miss Rebels, 50-46. Conway, playing in his home- town, led the Maroon scoring for the fray with 17 points. Egger, Rebel center, was high-point man with 21. The struggle was typical of all State-Ole Miss contests, with neither team holding an advantage until the final whistle. Bear Moore and Wilsford played outstanding ball for the Maroons and contributed largely to the victory over St ate ' s biggest rival. Floyd Wilsford paced the Maroons ' attack in the return match with Ole Miss to give the Staters their third conference victory. The floor work of Moore was again an outstanding factor in the victory. Moore constantly took the ball off the backboard and away from Ole Miss men. The Rebels threatened in the final quarter but the last few minutes of the game was featured by a freezing exhibition staged by the Maroons. Egger again led the scoring with Wilsford close behind. The Maroons boosted their conference standing with an easy 54-38 victory over the Tulane Green Wave. The Greenies were never able to overtake the early Maroon lead, although McGee led the scoring with 18 points. Craig and Conway scored 13 each for the Maroons. The deciding factor in the victory was the ability of the Staters to control the play under the baskets, with Bear Moore doing more than his bit. A good many of the Tulane goals were the result of long shots by McGee and Brechtel. The Maroons lost a 45-37 decision to the Kentucky Wildcats, defending South- eastern Conference champions of Lexington. It was the second conference loss for the State quintet. The Maroons managed to stay in threatening distance through the first period, trailing 18-17 at the half, and took a one-point lead early in the final period. However, the Wildcats soon passed the Staters and were never headed again. The opposing captains, Rouse of Kentucky, and Craig of State, shared the scoring honors for the tilt, gathering 14 points each. Paced by Egger and Keller, the Ole Miss Rebels scored a surprise win over the State quintet. The Rebs took an early lead and maintained it throughout the game. Eustace Conway scored 16 points for the Maroons but the Re bels were deter- mined to win, and the final whistle found State on the short end of the 64-51 score. Floyd Wilsford played a fine game for the Maroons as did Buttermilk Harrison, who scored 12 points and played a good floor game to aid the Maroon cause. The State quintet completed its schedule with two games with the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. The game was played defensively all the way through with neither team showing much offense. The Maroon squad was never able to hit its stride, and bowed before the Tide five, 34-26. It ' s teamwork that counts. FAS ?; Conway and Craig led the Maioon offensive while the defensive work was handled by Arnold Moore and But- termilk Harrison. Several long field goals contributed largely to the Tide ' s victory. The Maroons traveled back to the campus for the final game scheduled for the season. In one of the most thrilling contests of the year, the Staters lost a close tilt to Alabama, 34-33. fATE Not until the final seconds of play was the hotly-contested battle decided with the Tide of Alabama holding a one-point margin at the final whistle. George Prather, Alabama forward, led the scoring in the fray with 10 points, followed closely by several players from both teams. The State five traveled to Knoxville to play in the conference tournament for their final engagement of the season. Meeting the strong Vanderbilt squad, the Maroons bowed down in defeat 46-36, due largely to the fact that State missed nine free throws. Ross Hanna, Vandy forward, led the scoring with 17 points, trailed by Con- way of State with 14. The University of Kentucky Wildcats won the conference crown by virtue of a 51-43 victory over Georgia in the tournament finals.

U. heavy, won on a technical knockout over State ' s Charlie Saunders. In a return match at Baton Rouge, State was unable to win a point and went down before the champs, 8-0. Blount, Punchy Davis, and Buddy Davis lost de- cisions and Turnage and Ford lost by technical knockouts. State forfeited the heavyweight, middleweight, and junior middleweight bouts. The final match of the season was a home match with the Ole Miss Rebels. The Staters turned back the Rebs and won their final match, 5-3. Turnage bested Galdman in the bantamweight divi- sion, and Buford Blount decisioned Flats Davis of Ole Miss in a thrilling bout. Punchy Davis came through with an easy win over his heavier opponent, and Collins Wohner won over the highly touted Wilkerson. Buddy Davis, State ' s light- heavy, lost an unpopular decision to Shirley of Ole Miss. Davis kept the aggressive Shirley off with jarring rights to the chin, but lost on points. Punchy Davis got sweet revenge over Polito of L. S. U. when he clearly outpointed him in the S. E. C. tourney. Punchy advanced to the finals where he lost a decision to Charles Joco of Florida. Punchy and his L. S. U. friend tie up. FORD BLOUNT BURNETT TURNAGE B A S E B A With that set-up to work with, Coach Dudy a hustling ball club that mixed it with the bes eague. Newcomers settled into position like and improved steadily. Tiny Pope; a we ' ll miss n Coach Dudy poses with the Ump WITH THE OPENING of the baseball season, the outlook was rather uncertain. State had lost some valuable men through graduation and upon the calibre of the men filling these vacancies depended the strength of the squad. Men such as Walton Wood, Freddie Height, Rand Dixon, and George Lumsden had left the team with many holes to fill but the material coming up seemed to be able to fill the gap. Coach Dudy Noble had the makings of a good outfield in the returning letter men, Toni Ferretti, Jack Nix, Ray McMahon, Smokey Gordon and Sophomore Frank Chambers. He built his infield around Tucker Clark, the diminutive shortstop and Merlin Stewart. His de- pendable pitchers consisted of Ick Grissom, and Herman Wood, with Rock Reed a transfer of untried ability in senior college competi- tion. Nig McVey was set for the catching job with Roy Sutton an- other transfer, set to relieve him. V: Opening against Minnesota, State defea Gophers two straight to sweep the series and to a snappy start. Winning behind the steady, somewhat erratic hurling of Crawford Grisson FERRETTI LL iulded in the :terans lanager year. d the 3ct off :hough State a t STATE took the opener by a score of 9 to 5. Nig McVey led the Maroon attack with a home run and a single, knocking in three runs. The second game was a hard fought one with the Noble squad emerging on the long end of a 3-2 count. It was in this series that little Ed Smith strode to the plate for his first time at bat in a college game, and with the count two strikes and no balls, knocked a smashing home run over the center fielder ' s head. Northwestern next came seeking victory over the Maroons but again Coach Dudy had the guns to stop them in their tracks. Herman Lefty Woods pitched the Staters to a I 7-3 victory allowing only two hits throughout the entire game and holding them hitless for the first six innings. McVey and Chambers each got three hits to lead the attack. In the second game Grissom went to the hill and won another game with the aid of his mates who pounded out nine hits. The big gun of this barrage was Cy Cobb Stubs who got four for four. Leaving home for the first time, State met a su- perior L. S. U. squad that handed them a neat pair of trouncings. The Tigers found the southpaw slants of Woods no puzzle and nicked him for four runs in the second, one in the -fifth and two in the sixth before Grissom relieved him. State ' s inner defense crumpled and they made three errors to help the Bengals along. The next game was a hard one to lose as Rock Reed pitched three-hit ball. Three errors, a walk and a passed ball gave the Tigers a three-run lead in the first inning and State never threatened. Still in a bad slump the Maroons next lost a couple to the Auburn Plainsmen by scores of 8-2 and 4-1. These two games were played in weather more suited to football than baseball as the thermometer drop- ped way down. Finding L . S. U. a jinx that couldn ' t be shaken off, State dropped another game to the Bengals by a Alright, boys, let ' s show ' em some fight. score of 5-4. Grissom pitched well and garnered two of State ' s five hits. State rallied in the sixth to score four runs on an error and singles by McVey, Morgan, Clark and Grissom, but they lacked the necessary final punch that would have meant victory. The next game with Alabama again found Grissom on the hill and this time he trimmed the Tide 2-1 as he knocked in the winning run himself in the ninth inning. State next climaxed Alumni day with a decisive win over Alabama for the second straight time by a 7-4 margin. State used three pitchers with Woods getting credit for the victory. Ole Miss then invaded the campus for a brace of games and won HENRY STEWART McVEY CLIETT Keep going, Tuck, it ' s a homer! It must be in the bag. BASEBALL them both. Spotty State pitch ins coupled with costly infield errors was the cause of the Maroons ' downfal The first game was lost by a 11-4 count and the sec- ond by a score of 3-0. Hitting the road again, Coach Dudy took his Bull- dogs to Alabama where the two teams split, State winning the first 5-4 and losing the second I 1-6. Erratic fielding again cost State victory. The bright spot of the series came when Tom Ferretti came through with a homer, a triple, and a single. a STATE Tangling with the Ole Miss Rebels in Ox- ford next, Ike Pearson and I ck Grissom had a ll-inning pitching duel with Ole Miss finally winning 1-0 when Gordon Smith singled home the winning run. The next day, Rock Reed got revenge by setting the Rebels down on the short end of a 3-2 score.

The Staters amassed a total of 9 3 ' 2 points to win the meet. Mississippi College finished second with 63 points, while Millsaps and Meridian Junior College finished with 54 2 and 12 points respectively. State took nine first places in winning the meet. McLellan jumped 12 feet to take first in the pole vault, while Gresham led the field in the 440-yard dash. Others winning first places were: Poole, 120-yard hurdles; ragg, shot put; Ford, 880-yard dash; France, 220; Newell, broad jump; Boyd, 2-mile run; and the mile relay team. Donohue and Myers tied for second in the high jump, while France galloped home second in the 100-yard dash. Tipton and Barton finished second and third respectively in the mile run, and Carroll came in second in the javelin to aid the State cause. Traveling to Oxford for their next engagement, the Maroon tracksters emerged victorious, winning from the Ole Miss Rebels, 79-2 3 to 50-1 3. The State squad made a clean sweep of the sprints and middle distances to cinch the honors. State had three two-time winners in Maurice France, Chick Myers, and Bill Ford. France stepped the 100 in 10 flat, and finished the 220 in 22.6 to win first place in both events. Chick Myers ' 2 I -foot broad jump capped a first place as did his 6 foot I inch jump. Ford took first places in the 440 and 880-yard runs. Top circle: Coach Spencer. . . . Middle: France leads in the 100- yard stretch. . . . Bottom circle: Taylor goes over the top. Tipton turned in a 4:41 mile to take first place in that event, and Poole and Morgan won first places in the 120- yard hurdles and discus respectively. The mile relay team of France, Britt, McDevitt, and Pepper also won a first place. Climaxed by Chick Myers ' record-breaking high jump, the Maroon squad defeated the Alabama trackmen, 72 to 59. Myers ' jump of 6 feet 5 inches was two inches over the TRACK HARRISON FORD PEPPER BARTON MORGAN BRITT ALLEN BRAGG JEFFERSON previous record for a State track- man. France and Billy Jefferson finished first and second in both the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash. The Ma- roons swept all three places in the high hurdles with Taylor, Poole, and Perry finishing in that order. Ford won first place in the 880- yard dash, while Donohue won first place in the broad |ump with his jump of 21 feet and 3 inches. The State mile relay team lost for the first time of the season. The State Tracksters finished up their regular schedule at the Cotton Carni- val in Memphis, before entering the S. E. C. Tournament. Competing with schools from all over the South, the Maroon mile re- ' lay team composed of France, Britt, Ford, and Gresham, distinguished it- self by winning the Tri-State Mile Relay Championship. The time was 3 minutes 29 seconds. Myers placed third in the high jump and France was fourth in the 100-yard dash. Bottom, left to right: France leads with Jefferson close behind. . . .

The Maroon Hitters won two conference victories over Sewanee and Auburn, and also defeated the Millsaps squad. The losses were at the hands of Birmingham-Southern and Spring Hill. State ' s Shots Anderson, playing in the number one slot, was the only loser in the 6-1 victory over Millsaps. The Sewanee Tigers went down 4-3, and Auburn was sub- dued by the same score. Birmingham-Southern handed State its first loss by a 4-3 score. The travel-weary Maroons were unable to hit their stride, and lost a 6-0 match to Spring Hill, one of the finest teams in the South. In a return match at State, the Alabama squad rang up a 6-1 win over the Maroons, Shots Anderson won in straight sets to give the State team its lone victory. Undaunted, the State netters battled the Millsaps Majors the following week and white-washed the foe 7-0. Shots Anderson won in the number one slot while Vernon Beard, number two player, came from behind to beat Wright of Millsaps. Sherard, Moore, and Alexander added single vic- tories while Beard and Anderson teamed together to take one of the doubles matches. Sherard and Moore made it a clean sweep by taking the remaining doubles match. The Maroon net squad entered the Southeastern Confer- ence meet at Sewanee but were defeated in the first round of tournament play. Anderson was defeated by Lindsey of Georgia Tech in three sets. Beard lost to Hulber of Kentucky in two sets. Moore lost to Rosswer of Georgia in two sets. Sherard was defeated in three sets by Wood of Alabama. In the doubles tourney, Anderson and Beard lost in two sets while Sherard and Moore were being defeated by Tworog and Gutsch of Alabama.

Blondy Black, the Baby Maroons opened their football season with a 20-0 victory over the strong Holmes Junior College eleven. C. H. Bishop scored State ' s first touchdown after a sustained drive from the Maroon 45, aided largely by Billy Murphy ' s accurate passing. In the second quarter, Black and Bliss executed several running plays to put State in scoring position for the second tally. Bliss circled the end for the score, and Black added the extra point, to put the Baby Maroons out in front 13-0. With the ball in midfield, Black dropped back to pass, but decided to run when he saw no receiver waiting. The speedy Bullpup back raced down the sidelines and evaded several tacklers to score standing up. He also kicked the extra point. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL STATE FROSH rj— ALABAMA FROSH scoe!ess tie in Coach Red Fatheree ' s fighting Bullpup squad fought the favored Baby Tide of Alabama to Tuscaloosa. The Alabama yearlings took the opening kickoff and advanced it to the State 25-yard line before being halted. The Baby Maroons then carried the ball to midfield, and the two teams see-sawed back and forth the remainder of the half. Alabama tried desperately to start a scoring drive in the third quorter but the Maroon forward wall held strongly with White and Dreher throwing the ' Bama backs for repeated losses. The Baby Maroons started a drive in the final period when Jackson recovered unable to push past the Alabama 12-yard line before the final whistle sounded. STATE FROSH 24— OLE MISS FROSH 13 The Baby Maroons ended their season with a thrill- ing 26-13 victory over the Baby Rebs of Ole Miss, to end the year unbeaten. The State yearlings pushed across four touchdowns to two for the Rebels, with J. T. Blondy Black contributing two, Crash Davis one, and Billy Mur- phy the othei In the first quarter, it looked as if the Bullpups would go down in defeat, but the Rebels soon weak- ened before the powerful Maroon thrusts and State was on its way to victory. The brilliant broken-field running of Black, and the pass work of Murphy clearly overshadowed the work of Bennett and Flock of Ole Miss, with Black ' s 70- yard gallop the highlight of the fray.

The Administration of the Col- lege, realizing the helpful purpose of social orders, and sensing their place on the Mississippi State campus, has worked with the Greek-letter groups in their establishment, and has urged the independent attitude of freedom from faculty control which burdens fraternities on other campi. As a result, visitors to the campus are agreeably surprised at the harmonious spirit that exists at State, and the visitors are even more amazed at the high regard fraternity men hold for other orders. There is no social pre- eminence, no clique of fraternities, nor do fraternities vie for prominence because of size of chapter or house. True to the high ideals of this democratic campus, a man stands on his own, regardless of fra- ternity affiliation, or of any connection with a social group. There is a marked spirit of co-operation between fraternity and non-fraternity men, each respecting the other. Fraternities at Mississippi State fill a definite purpose, — that of developing the social life of the students, an undertaking solely spon- sored by the Greeks. State social orders answer th ; s need admirably, yet they are not excessive in this development. Realizing that their position is a precarious one, State College fraternities maintain their democratic standing through their governing body, the Interfraternity Council.

Flourishing under the watchful eye of their goddess, Minerva, and protected by her lion, this body is loyal to violet and gold, and cherish the blushing violet. S. A. E. made their first attempt to establish a chapter here in 1887, but after five years of sub rosa activity, were forced to withdraw until 1932 when they took firm root. They point with pride to such campus faces as Tom Landrum, Billy Mitts, Joe Bill Henry, James Gannaway, and Lindsay Disharoon. ft ii O ft fl| p i V; ' v ir r 4 ' Mil f% ITS v, |1 42 k± j k± m jBar, r f S O, i. ifeJl. , ' ■ «• wss ; First row, left to right: Argo, Birdsong, Coon, DeJean, Eason, Stubbs, Criglcr, C.

Deco- rating for their social functions in the pure colors of blue and white, the men of the white rose are noted for their rollicking parties at Puller ' s Lodge, and for their prowess in the field of sports. The 1940 chapter lists such leaders as Frank Birdsong, D. P. Waring, Jimmy Crigler, Row Sousley, and Morris DeJean.

In the year of 1936 Kappa Sigma established their 109th chapter on the Mississippi State College campus and it, like all the rest, thinks there is no flower like the lily-of-the-valley.

The founders selected this rare plant bloom as their emblem just before the turn of the century in 1897, and established it on this campus in the form of Alpha Lambda Chapter in 1936. They have as alternates of the orchid, the white rose and the lilac, but they decorate in the colors of lavender and white, with gold. Heading this organization we have such men as T-Bone Wilkins, Alvin Hill, Roger Martin, Glen Huffstetter, and Roy Newsom.

ANOTHER FRATERNITY, but this time its membership being composed of the fairer faced humans, the Chi Omegas this year celebrate their fifth anniversary of establishment on this campus. Since 1895, members of this sisterhood have honored the cardinal and straw and held high the white carnation. First among the sororities to invade this campus the Chios are II [ well established here and during the year have had one of the most suc- cessful college dances. They have gathered on various occasions under the leadership of such beauties as Nancy Wamsley, Sue Weems, Dot Ray, Sis Crigler, and Mattie Wardlaw to sip tea, and gossip over an interesting game of bridge.

ZETA TAU ALPHA founded in aristocratic Virginia in 1898 was brought to this campus as the second chapter of that group to be established in Mis- sissippi and also as the second national sorority on the State College cam- pus, in this the year 1940. Gamma Zeta becomes the 74th link in the long Zeta chain, that cherishes the pure white violet, and holds dear the colors I of turquoise blue and steel gray. Paramount in the memories of each of these girls is the date of their installation, April 19 and 20, where every hour was filled with either dances, receptions, and banquets; or secret meet- ings at which the new girls became familiar with the traditions that make a sorority live. Receiving these bits of information we have such girls as Evelyn Cooper, Margaret McWillie, Mable Kyser, and Bessie Baker. ri| 91 ;i J _m£ ™ m- iG .J i fBftl rflf H Wh l f 7 - . .

This group does not limit its work to the States though, for it is an international fra- ternity holding sway on 36 campuses around the world. In all this area they are true to purple and white, and cherish the purple aster above all the rest.

MISSISSIPPI STATE COLLEGE THE SENIOR Y COUNCIL is an organization composed of those members of the Senior Class interested in Christian fellow- ship, the development of Christian leadership, and the discussion of current social and religious problems. The group meets twice monthly in the Y. M. C. A. banquet room for varied programs under the direction of the Council ' s elected officers. The ma|ority of the members of the Council have been very actively connected with the Y. M. C. A. throughout their col- lege career. At their noon luncheons they have visiting speakers who give interesting talks on the problems of the college stu- dent and the world at large. Interesting programs are also arranged and presented by the students on numerous occasions. The Senior Y Council has been very active this year, and it has helped its members and outsiders mentally as well as morally. Much credit for this work should go to the Council officers who have worked zealously throughout the year. The leaders of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet are chosen from the members of the Senior Y Council, and it would be impossible for the Cabinet to function as well as it does if it was not for the training obtained by these men in the Senior Y Council.

OUT OF THE NEED for an organization of the Aeronautical Engineers on the Mississippi State Campus has grown the Society of Aeronautical Engi- neers. During the spring months of 1939 the idea was formulated and plans made. The result was Mississippi State ' s Society of Aeronautical Engi- neers, which has as its purpose a closer relationship between aero-engi- neers, both here and elsewhere, and a better Aeronautical Engineering De- partment here at Mississippi State, in so far as a group of organized stu- dents can make it so. Society of Aeronautical Engineers is not merely another organization, but it intends to be a service or ganization as well. It will do all in its power to advance Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering, the Mississippi State Aeronautical Department, Engineer ' s Day, Engineering in general, and Mississippi State College.

THE AGRICULTURAL ADMINISTRATION CLUB was founded in April, 1939, and is composed of the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who are interested in the recognition of the Administra- tive functions of Agriculture. The club strives to develop leader- I 1 ship and a spirit of co-operation among its members, so as to be of greater service to the profession of Agriculture. A clearer understanding of the applied applications of Agriculture, Busi- ness, and Economics, in its field of usefulness, ascertains the real purpose of Agricultural Administration.

COUNCIL is the connecting link between the col- lege and the local church, unifying all religious activities of the Baptists on the campus. It promotes spiritual development and growth through Bible study, and participation in the work of the church and the denomination at large. Its membership is com- posed of certain members from any Sunday School class or other church organization of the Baptist Church. Similar councils are organized in the churches of other college centers throughout the nation. L. it T. B. WORLEY President E. W. BOGGAN Vice-President CATHERINE MORGAN . . 2d Vice-President E. R.

The purpose of this club is to form a closer bond of fellowship between its members who are the recipients of the one hundred dollar scholarship awards, each of which was made by Sears Roebuck and Com- t P CLUB pany to worthy farm boys of Mississippi. The basis of this award was to worthy and deserving farm boys who have accomplished outstanding records of achievement in their club projects, either as 4-H Club members or as F. F. A. members and who chose to enter the school of agriculture at Mississippi State College as freshmen. . GLEE CLUB OFFICERS EDMUND L.

THE PURPOSE of the International Relations Club is to broaden the individual ' s knowledge of international affairs, and through a comprehensive study of current events, to acquaint the mem- I bers with the manner in which foreign affairs affect our daily lives. The club holds bi-monthly meetings at which time discus- sions, led by speakers who are acquainted with the subject matter, are conducted concerning international relations. BEREAN SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS THE BEREAN SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS, composed of Baptist Students who attend Mississippi State College, endeavors through weekly lessons taught by a regular teacher, to further inspirational activities and general knowledge in the field of religion, and to inculcate spiritual development through medita- tion and prayer. Dr. F. P. Gaines, who is now associated with Washington and Lee University as its fourth president, was the original founder and teacher. He believed that through the church a well-rounded part of col- lege life could be introduced to better equip men for after-college leadership, not by use of theology, but through everyday use and application of the word of God. Dr. Gaines organized the class when he was Professor of English Literature and Director of the Serv- ice Bureau at the old Agricultural and Mechanical College. Graduates who were members of this class always look back with fondness to their relationship with the church. OFFICERS T. W. RANKIN President W. T. SHOWS Vice-President G. K. BUCHANON Secretary CHARACTER BUILDERS SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS THE CHARACTER BUILDERS CLASS was organized a number of years ago by Mrs. Bertha M. Scales and taught by her for quite a while. This group has, since its beginning, fostered Christian fellowship among Methodist students and instilled in them high ideals toward which to strive. The business of the class is conducted by the Methodist Student Council, composed of officers and students selected by the class. This council plans for guest speakers, varied entertainments, delega- tions to the state conferences, and carries on a number of social services on and around the campus. The Character Builders Class offers to its members a chance to develop their Christian life and lead- ership, and ever strives to be an uplifting influence on the campus. Many former members are now engaged in furthering the word of God, not realizing that when they were attending this class they would decide on this course of life. OFFICERS JOHN A.

COUNTISS Pastor Jke C O L L E G I A N S BUILDING THEIR 1939-40 EDITION around a versatile reed section that had already had a year ' s ex- perience together, The Collegians have presented this year one of the finest and most well-rounded orchestras Mississippi State has seen in many moons. Versatility better describes the band with personable Dudley McBee taking over when Charlie Banks was forced to withdraw from school. Diminutive Dot Ray has proven to be the big asset of the band, ably vocalizing and winning hearts whenever she begins to give out with the lyrics. Clyde Rogers, pianist, and Jimmy Jones, first saxophonist, make the distinctive arrangements which have put the band to the front in college circles. Bruce Parmelee fills in with the scat singing. With such an array of talent The Collegians still hold the position of the most versatile college band in the South.

JACK HOPPER Second Tenor RHYTHM JACK LOCKE Piano WILLIS BROOKS Bass Fiddle BUCK HINMAN Drums FRONTING THE AGGREGATION with personality, looks and pleasing vocal interpretations is Chuck Collins. Assisting with the vocals, and adding to the male interest in the band is Neal McAbee, one of the best, and surely one of the most attractive, singers ever heard with a State orchestra. Just behind the mike are four saxes who have made dance history at State with their perfect team- work and smooth tone, Son Price, first sax and swing clarinet; James Quinnelly and Jack Hopper, tenors, and Evan Allen, third sax. Using three versatile trumpets, the Cadets find more harmony than the usual dance group does by jsing brassy trombones. Three factors in the sweet swing style of the orchestra are Francis Hinman, Irving Ellis, and Sam Webb. Rhythm has been the foundation of the Cadet group since its organization, and a solid section is evident this year, with Jack Locke at the piano, Willis Brooks at the bass fiddle, and Buck H inman on the drums. iptecidticm (• CO-OPERATION is the first prerequisite to success in any undertaking. The publication of an annual is no exception, and the editor and business manager wish to publicly thank some of the more prominent persons whose co-operative spirit and incessant effort have contributed to the publication, and we hope, the ultimate success of this, the thirty-sixth volume of the REVEILLE. In the building of an annual, definite and concrete ideas are the basis of the undertaking. In the suggestion of new and vital ideas, Mr. Ben Hilbun was outstanding. His interest in the progress of the book has been most gratifying. Then, to Mr. Bob Faerber, of the Alabama Engraving Company, much credit for the unusual presentation, lay-out and make-up of this annual is due. Mr. Johnny Long, of the Foote and Davies Company, offered valuable suggestions, and his company showed more than ever before that they were the ones to handle the job. These three men could always be relied on for cheerful understanding when the going got tough, and they were ready to assist in any way possible. For actual pictorial material, Mr. Jim Pruitt deserves great commendation. Never before have his portraits had the high standard that they have had this year, and his foolproof handling of them has been a pleasure. To our campus and student photographers much credit for the fine character of the snapshot sections is due. Then, for actual theme material, Mr. Earl K. Norman and Mr. Reber Hender- son, of Natchez, supplied many excellent photographs. These came through the courtesy of the Natchez Garden Club, whose secretary, Mrs. Lillie Vidal Boatner, was most gracious in the supplying of theme material. The Pilgrimage Garden Club of Natchez, through its president, Mrs. Balfour Miller, showed excellent co-operation in the gathering of photographs. Mr. Bob Price, of the Dixie Advertisers, was another person whose unusual spirit of co-operation helped in the gathering of theme material. To individual staff members goes much of the credit for the excellent manner in which they carried out the routine work necessary in a publication of this nature. Particular tribute is due to the following members of the editorial staff, who handled their work in a fine spirit, and worked untiringly to see this annual published: Roger Martin, the assistant editor; Ed Brophy, Glenn Huffstetter, E. D. Robinson, Jack Denton, Dudley Carr, Fisher Patty, and Eddie Thaxton. Unusual activity on the part of the Busi- ness Staff made the work of that department outstanding for this issue. Staff members who did a majority of the work were DeSha Hmes, Francis Norwood, and Alvin Hill, assistant business managers; Harry Holton, Morris Herzog, Billy Dan Weaver, David Ferriss, H. C. Leak, David Henderson, C. G. Steele, Bobby Agnew, Steve Harman, and Horace Bowie. On both staffs, there were many others too numerous to list, whose interest was most gratifying. Again, we express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to these and the many others who helped so much in the publication of this volume. AL EVANS, Editor, BOB BOWLUS, Business Manager.
