How does it happen that Mrs. Spencer, who, as a bride many years ago, supposed her school days were over, after having reared her four children to maturity and seeing them all married, herself a grandmother of several years' standing, is now receiving a college degree? Surely, back of these facts about Mrs. Spencer's life must be some truths more inspiring than the themes of novelists. These truths are that Mrs. Spencer has always loved knowledge for its own sakeg that she never believed she was getting too old to learn, and, last but not least, she, like Napoleon, determined that there should be no Alps.

Some of the mem- ..-. 4 i ' bers were here the day the State Teachers College opened its doors in 1912. These have been out doing effective teaching in the public schools. Mis 'I v . here. Others have decided to become teachers instead of following other j A few have come from other Colleges to finish a teacher-training course professions, and have joined the class. Several members of the class W ' have been in school four consecutive years, and know from experience what it means to pass from the freshman through the sophomore and junior years into the Senior Class. But this history is not concerned so much with periods of time as with the changes taking place during the years we have spent as students in this institution. It was a typical crowd of boys and girls, some rather grown-up and others not so mature, who gathered from all sections of Mississippi, from town and village, from farm and city. They came with joyous hearts, with fun and frolic, knowing exactly how to be freshmen. Their hearts were joyous, because they came with a purpose. These freshmen did not meet with the usual freshman greetings. They were given a Welcome and put to work. In a few days they learned how to classify, how to make announcements, and what social hour meant. So it happened that the change from proud and lofty high school to sober college was marked by several influences. Perhaps the most significant of these influences was the friendly association of stu- dents and instructors. The association among the students in the various student activi- ties enabled each one to extend his acquaintances and friendships from the small home community to the entire state. The standards of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., in harmony with the general college spirit, maintained a high moral and social atmos- phere. The students, of course, have felt the urge, not of force but of desire, to learn the knowledge that has been offered to them. This was one of the purposes for which they came. Another purpose was to catch glimpses of that bigger life built on the inspiration of this college and the teachings of Him who required love and service. Our class has builded well. When these freshmen became sophomores, they were given the privilege of loiter- ing around the postoffice. And it is strange that some of the greatest failures charged to their college records were made on the door steps of the postoffice. But all history is not written. It is even whispered that many of the sophomores' un-solved problems are kept secret by the Campus Chinas. just a year ago, when the class became juniors, they wondered what they could do for the benefit of the college. Pretty soon the opportunity came. The duty of teaching younger students to vote and hold elections fell on their shoulders. Some 49 were elected to important oflices in the Student Self-Government Association, in their societies, clubs, and classes. The house proctorship became the juniors' heritage, for only they could compel the freshmen and sophomores to obey the regulations. As seniors, they have tried to guard the name and dignity of the college. They have striven to assist the faculty in every Way possible. And when the wise suggestions for the good of the order have been politely declined, the seniors kept an optimistic spirit. They Well knew the dignity of the Honor Council must be preserved, and quietly assumed that duty. And, really, they have proved themselves to be active citizens of the college community. Now that all these incidents and experiences of a college career have ended, and this record must come to a close, we approach with hesitancy the one great event in the history of any class, its graduation. We retire, but we leave our love to S. T. C., and extend our good wishes to our successors. LE .Y ,, '1T,11. v 1... , l Degree Class Prophecy VVhen our class left old S. T. C., We never dreamed what we would beg But now Father Time has opened his book, And says that we may take a look. of rain that brings one images of former days As I sat before the fire and watched the blazes flickering up the chimney I glanced up on the mantel and saw an heirloom that had been 1n the family for several .4 I' .4'..'., generations. It was a beryl, shaped like the hexagons that we had HE night was dark and dreary. The rain was falling-that steady sort ,ug . . . - Q - ' ill . , t . 'GF studied in Geometry, and green like the freshmen who used to come to S. T. C. Years before it had belonged to a wandering gypsy, who used it in telling fortunes. Tonight the beryl had a strange charm for me. T'aking it down, I held it up so that the firelight threw dancing shadows over it. Somehow it gradually changed, and I saw the dim outlines of a building in its depths. The vision grew clearer, until I realized that it was a school building, a consolidated model school, an improved model of the kind we had studied in a course on Rural Con- solidated Schools in Mr. Hurst's Education Class. Out on one side were the trans- portation trucks that brought the children to school. The scene changed, and I saw the inside of the Home Science Department. In the dining room a dinner was in progress. The guests were alumni of S. T. C., who had made this school possible, and several of whom were members of its faculty. Miss Wilma Hollingsworth had charge of the Home Science Department, and she was doing a very valuable work in teaching the girls the principles of real home making, the kind our rural sections need so badly. The principal, Mr. L. A. Shelton, had the host's place, while at his side was Mr. Bishop, the State Superintendent of Edu- cation. Then came Mr. H. Parker, County Supervisor of Public School IXIusic, who was carrying out S. T. C.'s idea of music as a means of cultivating the beautiful in the lives of country people. Mr. S. E. L. Weatherford, County Superintendent of Educa- tion, was there, along with the state senators from Mississippi, hir. D. C. Leech and Mr. M. Chaney. They were well known all over the country for measures they had introduced for the welfa1'e of public schools, especially rural consolidated ones. I Some prominent business men, who also knew the necessity for better rural schools, because they had gone to S. T. C., were there-IWr. IVI. T. Smith, a prominent physi- cian, who was doing a good work in medical inspection of schools, the Rev. H. J. Craft, Mr. O. C. Oakes, the president of the IVIississippi General Insurance Company. A lawyer from Meridian was near him, who proved to be INIr. Hamilg A. C. Long, the sl N V 1 K chemist, who had just worked out a new fertilizer that was to do so much for south lllississippi, was next to Mr. Hamil. Mr. A. E. Clerk, principal of the new indus- trial school at Gulfport, llflr. Bowen, the man who had established the new poultry yard, and was helping to put pure bred poultry on all the farms, Mr. Henley, County Superintendent of Education in VVilkinson County, T. A. Turner, Supervisor of Secondary Schools of the State, W. C. Tate, County Superintendent of Education of Hinds County, were all present. hir. R. M. Speed, the resident secretary of the Y. lvl. C. A., and Miss Thelma Stevens, the Y. VV. C. A. secretary of the Southern Division, were there, in order to dedicate a new YH hut that had just been put on the campus of the new school. Bliss Mary Delle Wilkiiis, who was a government teacher in Porto Rico, and Miss Mabel lWcMillin, the well-known author of a recent volume of poetry, had just returned in time to be present. lVIiss Plume Oaks had just arrived from China, where she was engaged in Y work. I noticed all the members of the faculty of this school, some of whom were S. T. C. students-Miss Lillian Wall, the primary teacher, who was also developing new methods in primary teaching, Mrq. Theresa Cook Howard, one of the state's best intermediate teachers, and Mrs. Suggs, the grammar school music teacher, were all old classmates of mine. Lura Lowery taught history, and I thought of her in the VVorld Affairs Club, Mrs. Spencer had charge of the lylodern Languages Department, Miss Clyde Williams taught Pen- manship, lylr. lyl. P. Hobby had charge of Science CI thought of Red when he was the most popular boy studentl , Miss Jeannette Burris was the head of the Mathematics Department, and Mr. Burns was the Agriculture instructor. A model farm was run in connection with the school, where the boys learned not only the business of farm- ing, but also the beauty of rural life. There was also an industrial school, where the much-talked-of but rarely-trained thing-minded boys and girls had a chance to de- velop their talents. Mr. W. A. Lambert had charge of it, and his assistant was Mr. R. F. Jolly. After this revelation that the beryl had shown me, I was overjoyed to realize that my classmates had made this school their monument to their old Alma Mater, and were justifying the faith that the state had shown in its Teachers College by carrying out the real purpose of the institution-to build up the rural schools of Mississippi.

As we look back over these visits, as we might call them, they seem to us great pleasures. After a hard session of teaching, we came, year after year, to be instructed in the way we should teach. Oh, what great pleasure to discover new methods and to think new thoughts! Here we discussed the problems we had met and the solution we found bene- ficial. How we loved to hear other teachers tell of their Waterloos, and how they, too, overcame these difficulties! Then the record summer, when we again turned our face US. T. C.-ward, we began to think of friends we should see. After we were here again, we began telling each other how such and such a course had helped us. We then frantically grabbed a brand new catalogue and tried to plan our course. VVe were so anxious to take everything that it was a hard matter to decide just what subjects would help us most. VVe rushed madly from class to class, only to be told it was full, but the old saying held good, for there was usually room for one more. After several days of strenuous classification, we settled down to work. It was fun for us to study methods that would help us, but it was a deep, beautiful enjoyment that we had when we were acquiring new knowledge that makes us broader thinking men and women. Best of all, perchance, was the every afternoon social hour-some old friendships renewed, more new ones formed. Then this year, as we make our last span of the race, we find that it is just as pleasant at S. T. C. in the winter as it is in the good old summer time. We then got a chance really to know more people and to become in harmony with the institution as a whole. After all, this interrupted process of getting our diplomas has had its advantages, and we say it has been worth it all. A Then those of us who have been fortunate to have lived here at S. T. C. for three years, remember our first sensations on leaving home. We were so very green and so very blue that it was hard to tell just what we were. After a few days we began to feel at home again. Now we think pleasantly of those past two years, but when we were struggling along there we were aware that the pathway of college life was not always strewn with roses. We have lived these three years to the fullest, and now, as we are leaving, we feel sad. We have become a part of this college, and it likewise 67 has become a part of us. There are attachments that have made every brick of its halls dear to us. We have translated books into our very being, but the principles of life we have experienced have been far greater than all the knowledge acquired from books. The friendships formed during these three years have not been disappointments. They have, nevertheless, made us appreciate individuals for their merits, and have given us a chance to love and know people who are different from us. All these are just the trivial, outside things--memories we will carry away with us, and friendships that have made our days here sweeter and better. Now we have come to the end, and stand ready to enter upon lives of greater usefulness, made possible by the training we have received at S. T. C., and the spirit of service we hope to have developed. May we be loyal and true to our Alma Mater and devote ourselves to the ideals she has inspired. Again we will say, Once upon a time we went to College and received our diplomas, and- ELEANOR WHYTE, Historian. S- i. Q1 .

NES ON'T think, Lessie Lou, dear, that I have forgotten my promise to keep account of my experiences while on this wonderful trip. Such is not the A 4 case. I've just been so very busy being thrilled and enjoying every minute of the time, that I have neglected to write in this little book, but tonight I shall try to make up for lost time. gag, After leaving you in Chicago, Kathleen and I went to New York, f the city of skyscrapers. My dear, we can tell you all about sunburned mouths and elongated necks. Of course, we thoroughly enjoyed our visits to the museum, the aquarium, the zoo, and the great and interesting docks, but I think we enjoyed more the dazzling beauty of the Ziegfeld Follies. Less, just guess whom we saw? Artie Selby, Louise Johnston, Gladys Brooks, and Thelma Ford! IVIy! They were pretty in their gorgeous costumes! Can you imagine S. T. C. girls in the Follies? By the way, we met some more of our old classmates in the city. While making a trip down the Hudson, we encountered C. L. Millixig, who is now editor of the New York Times. He seemed really glad to see us, and invited us to a reception at his home in honor of the famous artist, D. Glisson. You remember Glisson, don't you? Who would ever have thought that he would some day become famous? VVe were a little dubious about breaking into high society, but were later glad that we ac- cepted the invitation, for the two principal entertainers of the evening were the noted violinist, Joyce Burton, and the popular dancer, Bryan Holder. Kathleen and I felt almost in the limelight ourselves while basking in the refiected glory of these, our lionized friends. Joyce told us that Eleanor Whyte married a doctor and was living in Shreveport. She said that Rosalie Lyle was also married and living in New Qrleans. Glisson informed us that Frances Allen was studying voice in Paris, and that lNfIavis Godbold was London's Billy Sunday. Who'd a thunk it? Milliiig promised to take us around to the Columbia University to see H. VV. Turner, the science wizard, and lliabel Hight, the band directress, but some business engagement interfered with our plan. We left New York Moiiday and, as you see, are now in Boston. 'Nightl I'm sleepy! A 1, F 4 n 4-'NEWEJIC 'I 'fx N' Ti IZ iq lil :ig FS 1: f ' z-at 5-.gzgyffi 'QW' Friday Night. My dear, guess where Kathleen and I went this morning? lVe attended a joint lecture by the two missionaries, VVylmah Downing and Cilla Dyess. They are cer- tainly doing a wonderful work. Just to hear them talk makes one wish to be better. Boston is just as I imagined. It is teeming with things of interest, but I imagine the people are hard to become acquainted with. They are so-well, Bostonian, don't you know. This afternoon Kathleen and I visited one of the big shoe factories. Hereafter I shall appreciate my shoes more. lNIy! There's a lot of work on one little pair of shoes. But, honey, whom do you reckon conducted us through the factory? None other than Cooley, F. R. Cooley, you know. VVe were certainly surprised to see him in Boston. He discussed old times with us. He told us that IXI. K. lNIcKay had his last hard fall last year, when he married a charming young widow in llleridian. 69 He told us that R. E. Jolly is superintendent of the schools at Laurel, Miss., and that Bessie Gray, Louise Googe, and Burtie Greyson are teaching in the high school at Laurel. Isn't it strange how one comes in touch with people one has known? Say, did you read this morning's papers? No one in Congress can get ahead of G. A. Bacon and A. B. Blackwell, can they? 'Rah, for Mississippi senators! Speak- ing of Congress, did you know that Euna Kirkland is now Speaker of the House? My dear, we have just come from a radio concert. We heard some good num- bers, but the ones in which we were mostly interested were a talk by the novelist, Mary Lewis Allman, of Memphis, a lecture by Professor E. W. Carter, of Houston, Texas, a cornet solo by Bertha Ash, of Atlanta, and a concert by L. Z. Seals' Jazz Hounds, of Natchez. Kathleen and I were so excited and interested that we found ourselves trying to talk to them. By the way, we met a body of Southern tourists in the city this morning. Of course we were at once interested, and discovered among the number T. Taylor and his family, R. L. VVeems, principal of the high school at Hattiesburg, Dora McFarland, and Velma Shay, who teach in Birmingham, and Banie Hinton and Frances Flowers, who are instructors at the dear S. T. C. Frances told us that Ettie Lee Carter, Deaness Brewer, and Lena Cox have all taken the Mrs degree. lVIay joy go with them! Velma said that she saw L. Cummings in Richmond, Va. It seems that he and M. P. Hobby are in charge of some agricultural project for the state. Ho, hum! Iym getting sleepy. Say, did you know that Kathleen is thinking of taking unto herself a lifetime tennis partner? She is, for a fact. Poor me! After I get over the big head from taking this trip, I suppose it will be more hard work for me and then-a contract with a lyceum company. 'Night, dear. l'll write more tomorrow. L. V.

The view became clear and I saw that I was at a wedding. The happy, bright-faced bride was none other than our own Hazel Tedder, and the maid of honor was Lessie Lou Kirkwood, editor of the city's most popular paper. Over in the corner of the church was Thelma Farrar, the celebrated authority on English. Before I realized it, the church had been replaced by a dining-room. The charming hostess I soon discovered to be Mrs. Mack Bouchillon fnrrj Clara Dempsey. Among the guests were Gladys Hutchins, proclaimed the world's greatest pianist, and Esta Dodson, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. The dining room passed from view, and I was reading the afternoon paper. Among the news items were: Judge E. M. Lane gives points on compulsory fun law, Olen Brewer's landscape painting wins first prize at the Academy of Fine Arts. In the sports column I found the picture of Mattie VVinters, winner of the world's woman's tennis championship. In passing a theater on my way home I saw Loyce Bailey's name in blazing electricity, an- nouncing to all that she was starring in The Girl of My Dreams, a play written by Exie Rogers and produced by I. W. McGee. In the morning's mail I received a long letter from Laudine Smith, teaching psychology at M. S. C. W. She informed me that Grace Eason was doing social service workg that Bill Luker was prominent in the social circle of Hattiesburg as the wife of the president of the National Bank. Mary Louise Gay was forming a quartet composed of Inez Wilkerson, Tule Brasheld, Mertie Gore, and Vanie Scoggins. Bernice Davis, Gladys Jones and Cora Belle Walker were teaching school in Mississippi. Peewee Hinton was in the movies, playing the Sheik. W. S. Cobb had been defeated in a campaign for governorship of Mississippi. Elsie McLaughlin, Mary Miller and Mrs. VV. F. VVaites were in foreign lands, doing missionary work. McGee and Evelyn Cunningham were trying to pass a bill for a cut system in colleges. In fact, everybody who was not engaged in some special political, theatrical or literary occupation was either married or teaching school. Behold! I awoke and found I had only dreamed, but sometimes dreams come true. 72 SOpI'1Ol'I'l01'C Class VVILLIE MAE LUCRER HOULKA, MISSISSIPPI L. T.

If our readers are disappointed in them we ask you to remember that the history of the Class of '28 is, for the most, in the making. On September 16, 1924, we arrived at S. T. C. one hundred and twenty-five strong. We were painfully conscious that our class colors Were evidently green and blue and that our attempt to change them would be useless. Then it was that the faculty and students came to our rescue and pulled us out of the depths of homesickness and despair into the inner circle of the Teachers' College Faculty. We have tried to con- tribute our part to athletics, societies, and all forms of college activities. Our char- acteristics have been wise and otherwise. Twice during the session a pestilence called Exams visited us and great was the destruction in our ranks. Then our motto, On- ward, challenged each member of the class to do his best and we rose above defeat and strove upward. We know that our path will not be strewn with roses and that dilliculty will often loom large, but these we hope to overcome with persistent effort and determination.

Hall, an International Relations Club was organized at the State Teachers' College in the summer of 1922 under the title World Affairs Club. ' Ten students who had shown an outstanding interest in international affairs were chosen as a nucleus for the club. Upon recommendation of the membership committee, other students were chosen until the number reached forty, which is the maximum. The club works under the auspices of the departments of history, geography, and social economics. Students majoring in one of these departments or who show a special interest in these phases of study are considered most eligible for membership. The club meets regularly on the hrst Monday of each month and renders a program on some question of international importance. The programs are prepared and read a month ahead, which gives the members who are to render the program sufficient time to study the subject from every angle. The meetings are always interesting and are a source of valuable information. It has been the policy of the club to secure during the year one or more prominent lecturers to give addresses on questions of international interest. On such occasions the meetings are held in the chapel hall of the college and the public is invited to attend. v World Affairs Clubs are now under the direction of the Division of Intercourse and Educa- tion, a part of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. This institution is very help- ful to the local clubs in sending material and occasionally speakers for the programs. The State Teachers' College was the first college in the state to organize such a club. The organization has meant much to the college and it is hoped that a more sympathetic understand- ing of international affairs may be brought about through its efforts. 86 ff is 1 1v - wg Wir :M I- w W n Y 1 V n l I P H fl 1I xl' Nl, I, ,IN I w :ff W Wf- 3 I I 1 I X I + : 87 v 1 88 , w 39 0- Wt' 11:45 1 Us, :Q ,bk HSI..

One of these was named Prestonian Literary Society in honor of John R. Preston, a noted Nlississippi teacher, who was for ten years superintendent of education and NT the man who put the public school system on a successful basis. The first year of its existence the college was unable to finance an annual. The Prestonian Literary Society got busy and, through the earnest efforts and ability of its members, financed and edited the first NEKA CANON to be published. The Prestonian Literary Society has been in existence for thirteen 2 'JEL will-as rg. lilili I g Sggagw years. It has carried out its original purpose of training young men in literary and social activities. Prestonians have never taken a back seat. During its thirteen years of Work its members have won their share of the intersociety oratorical and debating contests and filled their share of the student official positions on the campus. The Prestonian Literary Society has been a friendly society. It has put forth every effort to make its new members feel as much at home as its old members, and We expect to keep this spirit moving on through the future years. M. P. H. 93 51'-f!'

The new meeting place, room 207 of the Administration Building, has been equipped with a filing case and a glass paneled display case for trophies. A new society banner has been placed on the walls. The members of the society have this year had much valuable training in the work of fram- ing and adapting a new constitution and contracts covering intersociety oratorical and debat- ing contests. Careful records are being kept of the meeting, and the history of the work done during the years when no records were kept is being reconstructed as fully as possible. Much valuable training in parliamentary law has come as a by-product of the regular meetings and of the special legislative sessions that have been held throughout the year. Training in business elliciency and parliamentary law is not, however, the chief work of the society. The members have grown steadily in the power to do organized thinking and to express themselves before an audience. The victory in the first intersociety contest of the season was conceded to the Platonian. VVith the good material in the society still to be drawn from, we may expect more victories in the future. VVhile we have grown and developed in many ways since the organization of the society, we cannot improve that splendid spirit of determination, loyalty, co-operation and friendliness which has been characteristic of Platonians from I9I2-1924. VVe can only be true to that spirit and still be guided by that motto, Press Forward. 99 100 AJII7 'TIL ff 'W X . ,A , q .Wi A ,, .yl X, ICI 102 SCIENCE CLUB HOME XO I 'x.., 10.1. 1- -.m ,.l 1 Ie .1 IIE I1 I1 ,1 IIA I, II QI IIII II' IU I1 QQ Ill If If II 'II 'Q I1 1.

Freshmen 65 Stetson University . . 75 Marion Institute . 135 Louisiana College 121 FERRELL .......................... Left Halfback The fastest man in camp, and one of the greatest halfbacks in Dixie. He gained more yards for the Yellow jackets than a mile has feet. FELTS ...................... ......... E nd Nollie plays football for the pure love and joy of the game. His wonderful ability at catching passes and smashing a line caused him to be feared and admired by every team. Nollie was a stone wall on defense and a ram on offense. His ability to carry the ball at all times proved very disastrous to his opponents. CRANE ................... ......... B ackfield Losa has more speed than most men half his size. Over the line, through it, or around it-if there is a way, he' will find it. TALLY . . . .................... Quarter and Half Bull Tallyvis a triple threat man. His ability to pass, kick, or run with the ball gjroved to he a constant danger to opposing teams 122 CAPTAIN R. H. TUCKER ..................... Fullbark A plunging fullback, who seldom failed to open a hole in the line on the offense. His ability to hang his toe under the old pigskin, sending it far into the enemy's territory, made Tuck one of the most valuable men on the 1924. varsity. TUJAQUE ...................... . . . Quartfrbrzrl' A light man, but a good one. VVhen he receives the ball, he knows exactly what to do with it. Speed? Lots of itg and a good working knowledge of how the game should be played. There is no reason why he should not develop into a world beater. W0onwARo. . . . ..... .... . . .Halfbark Duffle is one of the fastest backfield men at S. T. C. He was used as a utility halfback, and made good gains each time he carried the pigskin. COOK ......... . . . . . . . .B1ll',i'ffFII1 Joe is a man who improves, like good wine, with age. He started off well and before Turkey Day was one of our shining lights. He is little, but has worlds of grit and endurance. Not a single reason why he should not develop into an All-Southern back before completing his football career. 1:3 HESTER ............................... End Hess is fast on foot, good on tackling, excellent at handling passes, and can be relied on to plunge the line when the opportunity presents itself. joHNsoN .......................... Left Tackle Dock came to us from the Lamar County Aggies in the fall of '23, He has held his place as left tackle in every game this year without substitution, and has made a respectable showing throughout his two years' scalping. VVAITES ............................. Tackle In Edgar VVaites we have the making of an All-Southern tackle. He showed up unusually well last year, which was his Hrst year of football. lVIILLING .............................. End Red was good on smashing interference and going down under a punt. He also was good on receiving passes, and diving low and hard. DALE ............................... Guard Dale is a hard fighter and could be depended upon to open up a hole whenever it was necessary. He is aggressive on the offense and a stone wall on the defense. 124 F. S. LEECH ...................... ..... C fentcr As captain, F. S. Leech will lead the teacher-gridsters next year. Of all athletes we have turned out, Coon stands out a favorite. At center he is the best ever. O. E. COWART ......................... Halfbarl' Cootie is a thoroughbred yellow jacket, and when it comes to smashing interference or going down under a punt, he was always in the swim. -IIMMIE WHEELER . . . .................. Left Guard Jim was noted for his spizzerincktum and sure tackling. He went on the field full of fight, which lasted throughout the game. sl. VV. MAGEE . . ....................... T-arl-le f'Maggie showed real stuff for a first-year man. His line plunging ranks with the best. Next season he will develop into one of the best tackles in the state. A. R. BLACKXVELL ......................,.. Tm-He Blackwell filled a space between tackle and center. The way he filled that space was not like unto a renter, but the quarter who tried his side as an easy way to gain, not only suffered loss, but often suffered pain. 125 HUGH FERRELL, Captain SCQSOIIQS RCCO1'd . . 305 Loyola . . . . 255 Southwestern . . . 35?
