VOLUME THIRTEEN THE YEAR BOOK OF MISSISSIPPI WOMAN ' S COLLEGE HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI iS I orew9ra BEFORE our readers open this book for the first time they wonder how v ell the Hfe of our Alma Mater is portrayed ; as they shall look back in future years they will remember, perhaps, wheth- er or not we have told the story truly. In What Men Live By. Rich- ard Cabot, a New England physi- cian and author, has pointed out as the four essentials of life: Love, Work, Worship, and Play. Feel- ing that these represent the four as- pects of a college student ' s life, we have endeavored to portray her from these several viewpoints. If now, dear reader, or in the var ' ue distant future, this book can help you to love more sincerely, work more ear- nestly, worship more humbly, or play more gaily, then the editors of this, the thirteenth volume of the Pine Burr, will have been generous- ly rewarded for their labor of love. d .

Ve present to you one of the best sides of ' M. W. C. — the faculty. The faculty of Woman ' s College has been a rock upon which the students have always been able to find rest and help. Each individual member has given his or her best unstintingly and willingly. They have looked down the broad vista of the com- ing years and have seen the vision of their pupils occupying the best positions in the land and of being the good and noble women of whom they dream. To the present Senior class they have been constant inspirations, ever zealous for each Senior ' s welfare and ever willing to help them. Through love, work, worship and play they have represented our highest ideals, and when we have proven that our motto, There shall be no Alps, is a reality, then shall we recall those dear instructors who helped us in our college days.

The report of this committee was indefinite and the question was allowed to drop. Just about this time a stock company was formed in Hattiesburg to organize and carry on a Junior Co-educational College under the name of South Mississijipi College. The company included business men of all denominations and the president was Professor W. I. Thames, now the efficient Superintendent of Hattiesburg City Schools. A campus of fifteen acres was secured in the southwestern portion of the municipality and three large two-story buildings were erected, one an administration building and two dormitories. The school was carried on w ' ith great success for several years, but the loss of the administration bm ' lding by fire caused the institution to close its doors. Mr. W. S. F. Tatum, a prominent Methodist layman, came into possession of the property and endeavored without success to ha e his denomination establish a school for girls. He then offered the propcrt ' to the four Baptist churches of Hattiesburg on condition that they carry on a school for women for at least five years. Rev. A. L. O ' Briant and Rev. £. D. Solomon were then Baptist pastors in Hattiesburg and they brought about so much enthusiasm among the Hattiesburg Baptists that the proposition was accepted. In September, igi i, the first session was begun under the guidance of Professor W. W. Rivers, who came from a college in Arkansas. In November, when the State Baptist Convention met in Gulfport, the four Baptist churches of Hattiesburg, finding they had taken upon their hands too great a task, offered the property to the convention. There was a warm debate which lasted a whole afternoon, but the con ention finally agreed to accept the college. Prominent among those who urged the acceptance of the proposition were Dr. T. E. Ross, Mr. M. P. L. Love, Rev. A. L. O ' Briant, Rev. E. D. Solomon, Mr. T. S. Jackson, Mr. J. E. Byrd, Rev. L. G. Gates and others. A board of trustees was appointed with Dr. T. E. Ross as president and they elected as president of the college Prof. J. L. Johnson, who then filled the Chair of Modern Languages at Mississippi College. In Alarch, 1912, Professor Johnson and his wife, Mrs. Sue Bell Johnson, came to Hattiesburg to meet the Board of Trustees and after consultation with them, he accepted the position. The summer of 1912 was spent in putting the two buildings in order, securing a faculty and making an acti ' e canvass for students. As the Administration Building had burned, arrangements were made in the two dormitories for class rooms and chapel. When funds were needed for this work, one of the prominent bankers of Hattiesburg made a loan of ten thousand dollars through his bank to the college. The first faculty consisted of J. L. Johnson, President; Mrs. Mae Waller Batson, lady Principal: Pro- fessor O. P. Estes, Misses Morris, Lea Russell and Mariah Johnson in the literary department; Miss Phillips, Expression; Miss Graham, Art; Miss Stevens, Voice; liss Chase, Piano; Mrs. Bedford, Housekeeper, and ]Mrs. Russell, matron of the Self-Help Club. The first session opened in September, 1912, with about seventy-five boarding students. About twenty-five of these belonged to the Self-Help Club and had their dining room and kitchen in the second Dormitory, where the class rooms were located. At the opening exercises which took place in the Immanuel Church just across the street from the campus, many visitors from different parts of the state were present and great faith as to the future of the college was shown. 11 m ' .HMMB- eM - By 1914 the enrollment had doubled and the call for an Administration Building was imperative. Air. J. E. Byrd and Rev. W. E. Farr went over the State and raised fifty thousand dollars for the college. Mr. Tatum, the donor of the original property, made another liberal donation in land, and the new building which contained, chapel, administration offices, class rooms, laboratories, special departments, gymnasium, library, and other rooms was named Tatum Court. It is a magnificent building which would cost easily now one hundred thousand dollars. On March 2, 1919, O ' Briant Hall, one of the dormitories, was burned. The citi- zens of Hattiesburg raised fifty thousand dollars and the Baptist Education Commis- sion arranged for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars which was used in erecting two modern brick fireproof dormitories and a dining hall. These dormitories were named Ross Hall and Johnson Hall. The name of Dockery Hall was given to the frame dormitory originally known as Ross Hall. A two-story building outside the campus was purchased and called Love Cottage. In this campaign Mr. Tatum again responded liberally. When the new dormitories were completed, it was seen that the campus was in great need of landscape work. Much grading and filling would have to be done to make the campus correspond in beauty and symmetry to the new buildings. At this time, Mr. W. A. Dockery of Memphis contributed five thousand dollars, which was used in doing this work. By this time the enrollment had reached four hundred and the faculty numbered forty. The college was maintaining every grade from the kindergarten through the high school work. In the high school and lower grades there were at least one hundred and twenty-five students. It was thought time to begin the work of standardizing the college and so all work below the Freshman year was dropped. The Convention con- tributed an annual support fund of ten thousand dollars to make up for the tuition which had been received from the lower classes. The salaries of teachers were raised thus enabling them to get more preparation. Up to this time the collge had no endow- ment whatever. The Education Commission offered to give one hundred thousand dollars for endowment if the college itself would raise two hundred thousand dollars. With the liberal aid from all denominations and organizations in Hattiesburg, and hearty co-operation from friends all over South Mississippi the amount was raised. Several large gifts were made, among them one of forty thousand dollars from a phil- anthropist, who has aided many young women to procure an education. This gives the college now an endowment of three hundred thousand dollars. In 1922, Mrs. Herrin of Laurel left by will some thousands of dollars to be used in memorial of her mother, Mary Ross. With this as a nucleus a beautiful building called the Mary Ross Hospital has been erected. Those are the high points in the thirteen years of the history of the Mississippi Woman ' s College. In such a small space no real account can be given of the labors of the heroic men and women who have given the best years of their lives to her suc- cess. Not even can be mentioned the names of hundreds of friends who have stood by in time of need. But all over the South can be found hundreds of her daughters who are using their Christian training to make the world better and brighter. 26 T I Y ®@©E TW©-W©1 And no one shall work for money, And no one shall ivork for fame, But each for the joy of working. Work Present good, future good, no good — these pos- sibilities are mingled in the crude ore Tvhich tve ordinarily call work. Out of that we must smelt, if Tee can, the pure metal of a vocation fit for the spirit of man. The crude mass of ' jvorJ , ' as it ex- ists today in mines, shops, stores, railroads, school- rooms, and in kitchens, contains elements that should be abolished, elements that are hard, but no harder than Tve need to call out the best of us, and here and there is a nugget of pure delight. ' ' RICHARD CLARKE CABOT. The Skxior Postfd by Junior Bradle Mascot of the Senior Class T the close of the ear another class of Seniors will j go forth to join the innumerable ranks of those that have gone before. With a feeling of gladness and pe sadness the Class of 1926 sees this great event approach. For four )ears rve have worked together overcoming all obstacles, becoming stronger in the conquering of each. IVoman ' s College has given us of her best, her all. Through man , man more ])ears she rvill do the same for others, so let us as individuals go forth to further glorify her name, ever looking back ' our Alma Mater as our inspiration. Mrs. Batson To us who are Seniors, to those who are not, she is the ever ready, ever interested friend, adviser, and counselor. Our Mrs. Batson can ever hold the love and respect of every girl. She reminds us of the southern courtesy and loveliness by her culture. Faultless in every detail of her appearance, firm yet kind in her dealings with each girl, happy in her life with us, truly she fills all the needs for a mother here in M. AV. C. She commands the respect and wins the love of every Wildcat. As a Senior Class, we love you, Airs. Batson, and wish we could stay with you, but as we go our last words are, May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent one from another. Senior Ch MADELINE McCANN B.. ' ].

And not fc ny rote that fr -George Eliot Surely M. W. C. received an invaluable gift when North Carolina sent one of her fairest daughters to The School with a Mission. To describe the charms, the talents, and the worth of Madeline would be like describing the never ending brook that goes on and on. She is charming in manner, thoughtful of others in every act, and lovable. Her influence, her help, her power to inspire others to their best, has done much to create a higher spirit of consecration among the girls of Woman ' s College. As a leader in the religious activities and as president of the Senior Class she has become known and loved by every girl. Madeline, may vou ever be the help to others that you have been to us here at M. W. C. And that ' s Sara! A veritable Pollyanna! Glad for everything. Oh I yes, Sara is contagious, too. You just watch her enter a room and see it ' s occupants begin to brighten. Along with this capacity for over- whelming gladness, comes a troop of other qualities, cheerfulness under all circumstances, steadfastness of purpose and friendliness. Sara has been a valuable asset to the Class of ' 26 and we are sure that wherever she goes, she will find her place in the sun. Senior Class FLORENE BUCKLEY B.. . English Major PRENTISS, MISS.

Visit Florene! If you wish to be enter- tained by flashing dimples and a golden voice, you must find Florene. Florene possesses all those charac- teristics that are sa desirable in young girls. She is fair to look upon, modest, sweet and graceful. Dreamy- eyed, but not a dreamer, for she accomplishes things. For four years, Florene has been a constant source of joy and gladness to her friends. To many of them she has been an inspiration, as well. We have no fears for you, little girl, as you pass from the Woman ' s College portals. Your personality will win your way wherever you go. Are you looking for a stenographer? Page Edna! She can out type any other girl on the campus. She has been stenographer on the Annual Staff for two suc- cessive years, not to mention the Hand Book. And tvping is not all that Edna can do. The roguish look in her brown eyes tells a story all it ' s own. The old saying that still water runs deep applies to Edna. She is a cheerful companion, a faithful friend and a zealous seeker after knowledge. Success awaits you, Edna — just go ahead. Senior Clc ALYCE ELIZABETH BARLOW B..I.

One cannot begin to enumerate her attributes for one would never stop. She has been a valuable acquisition to the Class of ' 26. Always ready to lend a helping hand to these in need and to cry onward to whatever project the class had in view. An invaluable friend, a lovable schoolmate, she has paced off her four years, in the steps of Juno. She leaves a world of friends behind her as she passes through the Woman ' s College portals, but she will make friends wherever she goes and always she will be bonnie Bess.

A Damou, a Pythias, a Jonathan or an Antonio. She makes her friends easily and then she binds them to her with iron bands formed by deeds of loving kindness and many services. And on top of being a friend such as this, Daisy is an excellent sport and a lover of all good times. She is a student of intellectual power and much wisdom.

She has a charm, a vivacity, and an ap- peal all her own that draws over hearts to her. Her light curly hair, her fair complexion, and her baby brown eyes make a fitting background for her amiable happy disposition that would make her outstanding among ten thousand. Just because she is pretty does not keep her from being very capable and business- like. Every day finds her in town working in ads and no trip ever ends without money for her school.

Catherine is one of our town girls and therefore spends only school hours on the campus. But she is yith us enough to endear herself to us. She rarely ever talks but she has a quiet sweetness that is all her own and wins friends more readily than she would if she talked. She has the quality for real friendship, viz., listening to other people talk. Nothing is appre- ciated so much as a good listener and she is that and more. Her ever ready recitations arc ample proof that she never forgets what she hears.

There is a straightening of people ' s shoulders as Cecelia passes; she is the idol of the freshmen, and as the President of the student body she commands the respect of every person on the campus. Cecelia, it has been a privilege to have claimed you as a member of the grand nle 26 and we are sorry to see this associa- tion end.

Think truly and thy thoughts Shall the world ' s famine feed. Briglit .IS the sun, her eyes the gazers strike. Speak truly, and eaih word of thine And like the sun, tht-y shine on all alike. Shall be a fruitful seed. — Pope Blanche has the distinction of being one of the most truthful girls in sch.ioL She tells the truth at all times, at vhatever cost. It is very seldom that one meets such a rare combination of qualities as one finds in Blanche. She is engagingly frank, a good sport, a videl read young person, an excellent student, and the possessor of a dry humor and a great deal of repartee, withal, and an extremely fascinating girl. Tlnse of us who have been more closely associated with Blanche have been directly influenced by her fine, strong character. There is no doubt that Blanche will make her mark in the world either as some famous librarian or as a professor of literature. Whatever vour project Blanche, remember that the good will and best vishes of the class of ' 26 back you always. Althca typifies the twentieth century spirit of The New Woman. She has already entered upon her chosen field — that of the business world. Her acute business sense and executive ability have been valuable assets to the Senior Class. Her eyes speak varied messages but they tell of a jolly girl, always willing to help in whatsoever that calls for help. Althea has been th: ideal as well as the idol of many freshies, and we know that she will continue to be both idealized and idolized by all who meet her. Good luck to you, Althea.

My Creed I O LIVE each day as though I may never see the morrow pj come; to be strict with myself, but patient and lenient with r S others; to give the advantage, but never to ask for it; to be kindly to all, but kindlier to the less fortunate ; to respect all honest employment; to remember always that my life is made easier and better by the service of others, and to be grateful. To be tolerant and never arrogant; to treat all men with equal courtesy; to be true to my own in all things; to make as much as I can of my strength and the day ' s opportunity, and to meet disappointment without resentment. To be friendly and helpful wherever possible; to do, without dis- play of temper or of bitterness, all that fair conduct demands; to keep my money free from cunning or the shame of a hard bargain; to govern my actions so that I may fear neither reproach nor misunderstanding nor words of malice or envy, and to maintain, at whatever temporary cost, my own self-respect. To keep faith with (lod, my fellow men, and my country. This is my creed and my philosophy. I have failed it often, and shall fail it many times again ; but by these teachings of my mother and my father I have lived to the best of my ability; laughed often, loved, suffered, grieved, found consolation, and have prospered. By friendships I have been enriched, and the home I have builded has been happy. Edg.ar a. Guest. 54 The Junior Mascot of the Tuiiior Clas Posed by Sue Bell Johnso ff rgflE ARE thi class of ' 27.

C. in the early autumn, tender, fresh and young, ready for a skillful hand to begin moulding our futures. Oin- experiences in life had been very limited, but we came eager to find ourselves, to disco cr our talents and to grow and to thrive and to be nourished by loving hands. AVe were receixed into welcome arms, and cared for tenderly. We were soothed when we were despondent ; strengthened when we were weak, and gently led when we wandered from the pathway. Our hearts are overflowing with simple gratitude. We find ourselves incapable of expressing our inmost feeling; we cannot utter the words that our hearts are singing. We have spent a year in earnest effort; we have lingered by the fountain of knowledge and have been refreshed. Dear AI. W. C, we love you and we hold you dear to our hearts. We ' re coming back, but as we depart we breathe a prayer: Oh God, we thank Thee for a school like this. We thank Thee that Thou hast led us thus this way. May our lives like brightly shining candles send rays into the world and reflect the beautiful spirit that here has been em- bedded in our soul. Oh, may we be worthy of the blessings that we have received and bless the world with them.

Christine, may you ever do big things for the Master in your life ' s work for Him. Senior Ch JIMMIE DAVIS HOLMES Home Economics Diploma LIBERTV, MISS. an Hocki Y T ea n.

To say that Jimmie is a lucky girl is speaking mildly. She has the beauty that anyone would envy. She has the personality that would attract anyone and on top of it all she has a million dollar smile. Not only does she have this smile but she uses it. Nothing ever gets so bad that it removes Jimmie ' s smile. And not only can she smile, she can really cook and sew, which after all are the greatest and most useful accomplish- ments a girl can have. Jimmie will be a beautiful success whether she be a teacher or something else. Jimmie, we know that wherever you are you will make the place happier, because you are always so happy and will chase away frowns with your bright smile. President Phil - nnual Staff, Wedding. ' 26.

E©©! ¥IHI] i SIHIHIF LITTLE SAMUEL Oh, Sing unto the Lord a neiu song; For He hath done marvelous things. Worskip But though many; of us are now adrift and far from the land of worship, the shores of that great continent are vast and deep-cut and the wind of the spirit blows perpetually) toward them. We may not land and explore, but we can never tack y f ' f from shore. Toda)) we veer awa ' from some jutting cape, but tomorrow we wake to find ourselves in the shadow of some deep ford, or catch a glimpse of snoW-capped peaks as the land-fog lifts. Whenever beauty overwhelms us, whenever wonder silences our chattering hopes and worries, we are close to worship. Dumb impulses toward it haunt us in the pause before battle. To follow thought nearer is to grope for God. The deep joy of mutual love, of parenthood, the decisive victory of the right in national life or in ourselves, brings us that wistful, wondering pause, that ' orbed solitude ' which is close to prayer. So, unless we are blind to beauty, deaf to the call of righteous battle, incapable of prolonged reflection, a stranger to the poignancies of joy and sorrow, incapable of wonder, we are in perpetual danger of falling into worship as the tired mortal falls asleep.

U. is to train for service. In AVomaii ' s College we have seven B. Y. P. L . ' s, each doing efficient and effective work, each under a separate set of capable and enthusiastic officers. The B. Y. P. U. Council, composed of the general director, assistant director, general secretary, and the presidents and secretaries of the different unions, meets every Wednesday evening, making plans and discussing problems. Every student in school is a member of the . W. A., which meets every Wednes- day at the ch.ioel hour. The members are divided into thirteen groups, or circles, each one having a program once a month, and mission study twice a month. One Wednesday each month i.- given to open meeting, at whici ' . time inspirational and educational programs are given, the general president in charge. The Life Service Band is composed of a smaller group of girls — those girls who feel the call for service for God, some to definite fields, others for Christian service wherever they may be. The personal service work has six divisions — negro, hospital, jail, community, Sunday school, and mill work, with a chairman for each division. Two prominent features of the band are the spirit of sweet Christian fellowship, and the uplifting, inspirational programs given each Friday afternoon at the regular meetings. Just as Jesus called His Disciples in the long ago, He calls boys and girls to follow Him now, and the main thing is to be willing to go, to do, and to say what He wills. God has called some of the girls on our campus to be foreign missionaries. They are organized into a group, that they may be useful on the campus, while getting their preparation. The time of meeting is 6:00 A. l. Wednesday morning. Their per- sonal work is done through the Life Service Band. Some of our members may never reach the foreign fields, but it is their purpose if God permits, and wherever they arc they will have the missionary spirit. The Baptist Student Union is composed of the leaders of the different religious organizations together with the president of the student body. The purpose of the B. S. U. is to look after the work of the entire student body. Once each month a meeting is held. In this meeting every problem of school life is discussed, and plans for a greater and bigger work are made. Mrs. Wilkinson is our able adviser here as well as in our other religious work. Our aim in the B. S. U. is to enlist every Woman ' s College girl in some form of the religious work on the campus. With God as our helper we know we can accomplish great things for Him, or He will accomplish great things through us on our campus. -PLAY ' And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. Play We have ceased to thinli of pla chiefly as an indulgence, as a loosening of bonds, or even as a pleasure. We have begun to admire it not onl as recreation, but as re-creation. That idea maf es us open our epes, for an])thing that can ma e us over anerv calls out the respect even of a utility-ridden age like ours. Even our Puritan ancestors would have hastened to a healing spring if they had be- lieved in it, and so we go tumbling over each other to learn recreation when we hear it can renew our power to work. Great is the power of a hyphen! If play is not only recreation, but re-creation, why then it is to be born again and better born.

Due to her un- tiring efforts in developing the varsity of 1924-25 she was elected coach for this year. Miss Harrison is a dependable coach and a loyal supporter of the Wildcat team and Woman ' s College. Much credit is due Miss Harrison as coach for the past successes of the Wildcat team. Alyce (Shortye) Barlow Captain and Running Center The sound of the referee ' s whistle is a sig- nal for Shortye to snap into position. Standing on her toes, ready to go, alert and eager for the conflict, every nerve in her body seems waiting for her command to move. As she bends to dodge her opponent we have heard spectators wonder if she is made of elastic. She is not, but she is made of stuff quite as easily stretched but much more dura- able. Her training keeps her in perfect con- dition and this, together with her cool- headedness and aggressiveness, makes her the greatest basketball player we have ever seen. The Wildcat team will suffer a great loss in the graduation of Shortye. Mary Lee (Long Boy) Hammack Business Manager Much credit is due Manager Hammack for Woman ' s College good season in basketball. Long Boy was with us last session and when the roll was called for the candidates this season she was back at her same old post as jumping center. Her good signals and her head work have scored many points for the Wildcats. Id.a Branton Ida is one of the stars who came up from the last year ' s varsity team. Her wonderful guarding and her ability for pass work have made for her a wide reputation. Ida is one of the best guards that the Wildcats ever had. It is easier to dodge your own shadow than for a forward to dodge Ida. Pearl (Red) Brumfield Pearl, our running guard. The flash Red was the pep and fight of the Wildcat team. She seemed everywhere at once and was al- ways there when necessary. With Branton as her guide, she, another Freshman kitten, has won a place on the varsity squad. -1 -- -f __-Tq7,T7 fFSJJg. . Una Tullas Tullas came into prominence the very first practice game. She is one of our freshman kits who seems to have the innate (|ualities of a real basketball player. Her wonderful teamwork and her ability to shoot lori)i shots have won for her ?niich fame. Tullas came to us from McOee. ViiRMA (Cotton) A ACKER Cotton entered Woman ' s College from Poplarville, where she had been a star throughout her high school courses. She first came to the front in the freshman class team. Her speedy pass work and close aim of the basket gave her special distinction. We ex- pect Cotton to win three more stars to her well-earned black before 1929. Grace Cowley A very graceful and speedy player has come to us from the freshman class. Grace is one of our utility players, sub- stituting for running center. With this be- ginning, we are expecting Grace to make a good record in the next three years of her college career. Elizabeth Lucas Elizabeth was the find of the season. She surprised everyone by making team. Improv- ing as the season went on she was as good a utility player as there was in the state bv the end of the season. Her fighting spirit was that of a true terrier, and it made her a terror to all opposition. We are so ry that she will not be with us next year, and we wish her great success in the business world. Artress (Deut) Moore Artress, substituting at center, running guard or forward, was a valuable asset to the team. She fitted in well anywhere. Durable, cheerful, and reliable is Deut. It is very seldom that we find a utility player who can readily adapt herself to any position, but Deut needs only a command from the coach and she is immediately a center, a guard, or a forward, as the occasion demands. - =: • U a A W Li=d SENIOR-SOPHOMORE BASKETBALL JUNIOR-FRESHALAN BASKETBALL --w m-WB i w simism immMM Wmmmm m sms msM m sm BASEBALL REPRESEXTATIVES TENNIS REPRESENTATIVES J l mm- ? 3 ' 17 ' HS-BeMiR- : 1 SWIMMING RKl ' RESEXTATIVES f u Peter Pax (Posed by Dixie Oiiinnj Tom Sawyer (Posed by Elizabeth Roberts) Anve ok Green- Gabi.es (Posed by Ilazel Broix-nj 136 Billy Greenhill (Pos.J hy Louis,- Webb) POLI.VAN-XA (Posi-d hy Cura Miller) Lrni.E Lord Falntleroy (PosrJ hy Rohrrta Lovvlacc) 137 .
