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

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

DEAN B. P. BROOKS The Schools of Education and Busi- ness Administration, under the ca- pable leadership and remarkable ability of Dean Brooks, have taken a ranking position in the academic curriculum. A popular man with all students on the campus, Dean Brooks is always willing to stop and talk with any and every one. As acting Dean of the Business School, he has added duties, but does not let it interfere with his being an inter- ested confidant of students. EDUCATION SCHOOL The School of Education is using all possible facilities at its disposal to acquaint students in its embrace with the needs, both social and economic, of the State of Mississippi. Training courses designed to teach students how to adapt them- selves to presented problems is one of its main features. Modern theories with up-to-date methods are used in train- ing those enrolled in the School of Education. Realizing that world conditions are constantly changing, the School of Education continually changes also. New techniques, newer teaching styles, and all-inclusive courses enables the students to keep up with the modern educa- tional methods that are being successfully used throughout other sections of the United States. 18
