I N I S T R AT I V E DR. W. F. HAND The Mr. Chips of State, Dr. William Flowers Hand is the man of whom it is said that every living graduate of this college thinks when he thinks of Mississippi State College. Having served for years of service as Dean of the School of Science, Dr. Hand resigned this year to give his full time to the duties of his office of Vice-Presi- dent of the College. A living memento of the wonderful past and promising future of Missis- sippi State College, Dr. Hand is already a legend in his own time. Admired by his fellow officers of the College, beloved by all who know him, respected by all who have heard of him, William Flowers Hand is permanently entwined in the inevitable brilliant future of the college he loves . . . Mississippi State. MR. MALLORY Taking over the duties as Comptroller of the College for the first time this year, Mr. Mallory has shown that he is fully capable of handling this position requiring intelligence combined with understanding. Faced with many budget- ary problems, Mr. Mallory has still found time to help any student who could not understand his particular financial position. Responding with efficiency and tact to any task given him by the Administration and of favors asked of him by the students, Mr. Mal- lory has come to be regarded in high esteem by the student body. 16

President Fred T. Mitchell 3L PRESIDENT of MISSISSIPPI STATE COLLEGE This is the first year that Dr. Fred T. Mitchell has served in his present capacity as President of Mississippi State College. A Mississippi State Alumnus, President Mitchell has had at heart the progress of his Alma Mater. He has, furthermore, won the respect and admiration of the students for his seemingly unlimited enthusiasm for student activities. In his very first official speech to the student body and faculty, Dr. Mitchell stated his plans for the postwar progress of the college. Inasmuch as V-J Day came during this long-to-be-remembered year, President Mitchell has put his plans into effect. We here at the College appreciate his efforts and are glad to dedicate this page to the man who in one year has come to rully represent the Mississippi State College spirit of up-and-go-and-succeed . . . President Fred T. Mitchell. 15

OFFICERS MR. BEN HILBUN Now, Mr. Ben, you wouldn ' t do that to me — you just couldn ' t record that F, protested Joe College. Yes, fellow students, Mr. Ben (as thousands of students have known and called him) keeps those yellow sheets that mean the difference between seeing that divine show or sitting in your lonely room. When you first enter Mississippi State, Mr. Ben hands you a registration blank and a wel- come smile that wipes away all fears of college life. Your first impression of Mr. Ben always remains. No matter what your problem may be, no matter how large or how small, Mr. Hilbun, with his already-famous grin, is always there to help you tackle it. And when you enter that great mystery known as the working world, Mr. Ben is always pulling for you. Small wounder why countless numbers of students have said, and will continue to say, Mr. Ben? Solid! MAJOR I. D. SESSUMS ' Major, just give me one more chance. I didn ' t mean to break the window. Major Sessums has heard that plea many times and he has always been fair and just in render- ing his decision. Throughout the years, The Major has handled the disciplinary problems of Mississippi State students with great love and understanding. His wonderful leadership quali- ties have demanded the respect and admiration of all the students. When students enter his office, many of them are filled with fear as to what the outcome might be, but upon leaving the office they invariably cheerfully say such re- marks as, I ' ll pay for the window, Major. Thanks for not writing my parents. We all agree Major Sessums is one grand guy. State wouldn ' t be the same without him. ' MB ■i V S% ' ■ ij£ »«r2» -«tj ■ ■L ' , fl V ■if 1 ' -jjSfe 17
