Our   endeavor   has   been,   not   to 
leave  with  you  a  classic  volume  to 
be  soon  forgotten,  but  to  develop 
an    accurate    record,    in    picture, 
prose,  and  poetry,  of  the  college, 
the  student  body  and  its  activities. 
If,  in  the  future,  a  lull  of  an  hour 
or  two  should  come  in  your  la- 
bors, pick  up  this  book  and  turn 
its  pages;  if  then  fond  mem- 
ories arise,  our  work  will 
not  have  been  in 
vain.

Yesterday 


At  early  dawn  when  I  awake 
And  so  begin  the  new-born  da}', 

Before  I  rise  I  often  take 

A  backward  glance  to  yesterday. 

The  many  lessons  that  I  caught 

From  those  events  that  happened  then, 

Have  left  the  courage  I  had  sought 
To  help  me  in  the  world  of  men. 

And  so  as  down  life's  trail  I  go 

To  find  that  high  and  better  way, 

I  forward  face — but  even  so 

I  can't  forget  the  yesterday.

Nature's  Songs 


The  Music  found  in  Nature  is 
The  sweetest  one  may  hear, 

Its  beauty  fills  the  heart  and  charms 
The  most  aesthetic  ear. 


The  soft  rain  patters  on  the  roof 
A  symphony  of  sound  ; 

^^'ithi^  the  fury  of  the  storm 
A  melodv  is  found. 


In  ceaseless  flow  of  harmony 

The  merrj-  brook  trips  on  ; 
The  wind  that's  singing  through  the  trees, 

Breaks  forth  into  a  song. 

The  bird  that  flits  among  the  trees, 

And  sweetly  sings  away 
Must  have  a  mate  upon  the  nest 

That  he  should  be  so  gay. 

I'he  bees  that  fly  about  the  flow'r 

Are  humming  soft,  a  tune; 
At  dusk  the  nightingale  comes  forth 

And  serenades  the  moon. 

So  in  the  forest  and  the  fields. 

Wherever  man  may  roam 
The  music  nature  there  has  placed 

Finds  in  the  heart  its  home.

Dr.  D.  M.  Key 

The  day  of  reckoning  is  at  hand,  and  the  "Old  War  Horse"  has  reckoned  well. 
The  "objectives"  are  in  sight.  Millsaps  has  come  from  behind  in  athletics,  and  he 
has  been  largely  responsible. 

Coach  "Zimmie"  Zimoski 

He  came  to  us  with  a  good  reputation  for  knowing  sports  and  has  made  a  better 
one.  In  the  one  year  that  he  has  been  at  Millsaps,  he  has  produced  a  winning  foot- 
ball team,  and  his  other  teams  show  signs  of  like  conduct. 

Student  Manager  Combs 

Bill  deserves  his  position.  During  his  sojourn  at  Millsaps,  he  has  shown  himself 
deeply  interested  in  her  athletic  activities.  The  schedule  he  arranged  for  1922-23  has 
been  a  splendid  one  and  is  largely  due  to  his  tireless  efforts. 

McEwEN,   Football   Manager 

Fred's  inability  to  play  the  entire  season  because  of  an  injury,  did  not  dampen  his 
zeal  and  interest  in  football.  He  worked  ceaselessly  advertising  the  games,  thus 
helping  to  make  the  1922  football  season  a  financial  success.

BOBASHELA,  1923 


The  1922  Football  Season 


LR   football  season   did   not   result  in   piling  up   great  scores  against  our 
adversaries. 

Since  the  introduction  of  inter-collegiate  football  in  Millsaps  Col- 
lege three  years  ago,  the  success  of  each  year  could  not  be  called  even 
mediocre.  This  was  not  imlooked  for,  however,  as  no  college  is 
expected  to  produce  a  winning  team  in  two  years'  time. 

During  this  embryonic  period,  the  team  learned  to  bear  the  chagrin 
of  defeat  and  to  experience  the  exultation  of  victory.     They  were  drilled, 
not  only  in  the  fundamentals  of  the  game,  but  in  gentlemanly  conduct  on  the  field. 

The  student  body  is  to  be  congratulated  on  its  conduct  during  this  trying  period. 
Defeats  were  accepted  philosophically;  victories,  with  a  feeling  of  elation.  Never  was 
that  spirit  which  cheers  the  team  and  which  binds  the  student  body,  lost.  And  what 
has  been  the  result? 

The  first  game  of  1922  was  a  victory  for  the  Majors. 

The  second  was  a  defeat  by  Centenary,  but  not  by  a  large  score  as  was  predicted. 
The  Purple  and  White  played  a  hand-picked  team,  but  made  a  most  creditable 
showing.  The  phenomenal  surprise  of  the  season  came  when  our  ancient  rival,  Mis- 
sissippi College,  beat  us  by  a  score  of  only  13  to  6. 

Then  came  the  turning  of  the  tide  for  the  Majors;  then  came  the  real  victory 
of  the  season.  The  student  body  saw  that  the  team  was  a  winning  one.  That  element 
of  "knock"  was  lost;  moral  support  became  almost  frenzied,  such  cheering  had  never 
before  been  shown  on  the  campus.  The  people  of  Jackson  also  awakened  to  the  fact 
that  Millsaps  possessed  fighting  ability.  Criticism  became  favorable ;  meetings  were 
held  to  guarantee  games;  parades  were  staged;  attendance  at  games  became  much  im- 
proved ;  a  spirit  of  co-operation  grew  between  town  and  school ;  and  as  a  climax  to  the 
season,  the  sportsmen  of  the  town  made  available  a  fund  of  $1,500  to  properly 
e(]uip  next  year's  team. 

Thus  ended  the  1922  football  season;  a  success,  as  ours  was  a  moral  victory. 
An  everlasting  spirit  of  confidence  permeated  the  student  body,  and  the  city  of  Jack- 
son assured  us  of  its  whole-hearted  support.  The  team  added  to  a  reputation  for 
fair  play  and  for  gentlemanly  conduct  on  the  field,  one  for  being  able  to  put  forth 
real  effort  and  to  engage  the  ei^emv  in  a  real  and  a  winning  fisht.

CLARK-MEiNIORIALj    O;    IVIlLLSAPS,    39 

The  season  opened  with  a  bang  when  the  Militant  Majors  trampled  the  light  and  inexperi- 
enced Clark  Memorial  eleven  and  romped  to  victory-  on  the  large  end  of  a  39  to  o  score. 

From  the  kickofF  it  was  apparent  that  the  Baptists  from  East  Mississippi  were  inferior  to  the 
Majors  who,  before  the  end  of  the  first  quarter,  had  twice  crossed  the  counting  stripe. 

Six  touchdowns  were  scored.  Clark  made  only  two  first  downs  during  the  game  and  each 
time  a  five-yard  off-side  penalty  aided  the  Baptists. 

To  J.  W.  Young,  better  known  as  "Stump,"  goes  the  honor  of  crossing  the  enemy  line  for 
the  first  touchdown  of  the  season.  Jimmie  Campbell  did  some  excellent  defensive  woik  in  the 
opening  game,     lie  also  smashed  the  Clark  secondary  on  the  offensive. 

BlRMINGHAM-S(U  THKRN,    2  I  ;    IMlLLSAPSj    O 

The  Panthers  of  Birmingham-Southern  were  the  only  opponents  of  the  Majors  who  turned 
back  the  Purple  wave  without  a  score.  Onlv  once  did  the  Majors  threaten,  and  then  a  fumble 
on  the  Panther  six-yard  line  fell  under  a  Ciold  and  Black  warrior — and  the  Majors  threatened 
no  more. 

The  game  was  played  on  October  22,  1922,  a  day  of  disaster  for  all  Mississippi  teams.  The 
Majors  were  handicapped  by  the  loss  of  three  men  from  the  backfield,  and  Stovall,  regular 
punter,   was  suffering  from   a  twisted   ankle. 

"Lightnin'  "  l")avenport  carried  the  day  on  the  defense,  according  to  the  comment  of  the 
Birmingham  papers  and  the  laudations  of  his  team-mates.  "Stump"  ^"oung,  in  ihe  backfield, 
time  and  again  thwarted  the  Panther's  aerial  attack.

Centenary,  21;    IMillsaps,  7 

Highly  touted  as  one  of  the  strongest  teams  in  the  South,  the  Centenary  eleven  invaded  the 
Major's  domain  intent  on  rolling  up  a  large  score,  approximately  a  point  a  minute,  so  they  said. 
The  dope  favored  them  to  win  by  at  least  seven  touchdowns. 

The  fighting  spirit  of  the  Majors,  an  immeasurable  (juantity,  was  not  taken  into  account 
by  the  dopesters.  Only  by  using  their  entire  repertoire  and  all  their  substitutes  ^vere  the 
Maroons  able  to  concjuer  the  Majors.  The  fighting  spirit  of  the  Purple  and  White  was  the 
marvel  of  the  rather  limited  number  of  spectators. 

Charlie  "Zip"  McCormick  intercepted  a  Centenary  pass  and  raced  forty-five  yards  for  the 
Majors'  touchdown.  R.  B.  "Breezie"  Reeves  ripped  off  soine  nice  gains  through  the  line. 
The  sterling  qualities  of  Walter  "Prep"  Galloway  scintillated  during  this  tilt. 

NoR^rAL,  7;  ]MlLLSAPS,   10 

Suffering  from  o\er-confidence  from  their  wonderful  showing  against  Centenar\,  the  Majors 
came  near  being  humbled  at  the  hands  of  the  Pedagogues,  a  supposedly  easy  victim. 

Early  hi  the  first  ([uarter,  the  Majors  marched  down  to  the  Normal  twenty-yard  line  where 
"Bubber"  Galloway  booted  a  field  goal  from  placement.     Then  the  Majors  lagged. 

McCormick  saved  the  day  when,  in  the  fourth  quarter,  he  shot  a  perfect  thirty-five-yard 
pass  into  the  waiting  arms  of  "Chick"  Nelson,  who  was  behind  the  Normal  goal  line.  "Breezie" 
Reeves  was  a  big  factor  in  driving  through  the  Normal  line.  "Prep'  Galloway  did  some  excellent 
work,  both  defensively  and  offensively.

Howard,  7;  Millsaps,  14 

Fighting  tooth  and  toe  nail  through  the  first  two  quarters  to  a  scoreless  tie,  the  Bulldogs  and 
the  Majors  gave  Jackson  fans  as  pretty  a  battle  as  was  staged  on  the  local  field  during  the 
season.     In  the  second  half,  the  Majors  showed  their  real  game,  coming  from  behind  to  win. 

In  the  third  (juarter,  a  fumble  on  the  Major's  forty-yard  line  was  recovered  by  a  Bulldog, 
who  raced  through  an  open  field  for  a  touchdown.  Then  it  was  that  the  Purple  and  \\'hite 
tore  through  the  Bulldog  machine  with  a  regularity  that  carried  them  from  the  kick-off 
to  within  a  striking  distance  of  the  Howard  goal.  Holding  on  the  part  of  the  Majors  drew  a 
fifteen-yard  penalty  on  the  first  down,  leaving  a  gap  of  twenty-seven  yards  to  cross  the  goal  line. 
Three  plays  made  twenty-five  yards  and  first  down.  "Chick"  Nelson  was  elected  to  smash 
over  for  the  touchdown.     And  in  one  smash  at  the  line,  "Chick"  delivered. 

The  Bulldogs  kicked  and  again  the  Majors  marched  steadily  toward  that  coveted  goal 
line.  But  the  Howard  defense  held  and  the  ball  went  over.  The  Bulldogs  had  spent  their 
force  and  were  unable  to  make  consistent  gains,  so  were  forced  to  kick.  Three  times  they  held 
the  Majors  after  steady  offensive  moves  had  carried  the  oval  well  into  Red  and  Blue  territory. 
At  the  beginning  of  the  fourth  quarter  the  Majors,  gaining  second  wind,  started  goalward  again. 

A  varied  attack  carried  the  ball  to  the  Howard  eight-yard  line  where  "Chick"  Nelson  was 
again  called  upon  for  necessary  yardage,  and  in  a  smashing  drive  over  left  tackle,  he  went  over 
for  the  second  touchdown. 

CuUey's  work  far  surpassed  his  usual  steady  game.  He  was  in  on  every  play  and  smeared 
the  Ho\vard  offensive  with  clock-like  regularity.  C.  Galloway  was  the  general  who  made  the 
win  possible.  "Red"  Plummer,  though  only  a  sub,  was  a  power  in  checking  a  Howard 
comeback.

HALF 


Mississippi  College,  13;  Millsaps,  7 

The  result  of  the  annual  Major-Choctaw  tilt  was  quite  a  shock  to  the  entire  state.  The 
Choctaws  were  doped  an  easy  winner  b}-  six  touchdowns  by  the  sharks  who  forecast  games,  but 
these  sharks  received  the  jolt  of  their  lives  in  the  opening  quarter  of  the  game. 

From  the  kick-off,  the  Majors  marched  to  the  Choctaw  four-yard  line,  and  only  a  lucky 
break  in  the  form  of  an  intercepted  pass  stemmed  the  rush  of  the  Purple  wave.  They  kicked 
out  of  danger,  and  the  Majors  again  started  goalward  and  advanced  to  the  Choctaw  ten-yard 
line  before  being  again  checked. 

A  punting  duel  followed  and  the  quarter  closed  with  the  ball  in  Choctaw  possession  near 
midfieid.  In  the  second  quarter,  the  Choctaw  steam  roller  worked  and  they  chalked  up  the  first 
touchdown  on  straight  line  bucks. 

In  the  third  quarter  the  Major  defense  again  faltered  and  before  the  rushing  Chocta\vs 
could  be  checked  they  had  crossed  the  Purple  and  ^^'hite  goal  again. 

With  the  score  1 3  to  o  against  them  in  the  fourth  quarter,  the  Majors  opened  with  their 
offensive  ace.  Daring  aerial  attacks,  line  plunges  and  end  runs  placed  the  ball  on  the  Choctaw 
one-yard  line.  "Chick"  Nelson  smashed  over  the  line  for  the  first  points  ever  scored  by  Millsaps 
against  the  Choctaws  in  football. 

It  was  in  this  game  that  the  freshman  triumvirate  shone  forth  with  a  radiance  that  could 
not  be  denied.  "Chick"  Nelson,  "Pole"  Webb,  and  "Skinney"  Oakey  were  the  standard  bearers 
of  the  Class  of  1926.  "Chick"  made  repeated  gains  around  end  and  through  the  line.  "Pole"  and 
"Skinney"  opened  hole  after  hole  in  the  Choctaw  line,  while  on  the  defense  they  presented  an  im- 
pregnable barrier.

Ole  Miss,  19;  Millsaps,  7 

Crippled  and  minus  the  services  of  the  freshmen,  the  Majors  entered  the  final  game  of  the 
season  with  the  grim  determination  to  hold  "Ole  Miss"  to  a  minimum  score.  The  Majors  were 
admittedly  weaker  than  "Ole  Miss."  The  Purple  and  White  lacked  substitutes,  while  on  the 
"Ole  Miss"  bench  sat  nearly  another  team. 

It  was  Thanksgiving  and  the  largest  crowd  that  ever  attended  a  Millsaps'  football  game 
was  on  hand. 

The  game  opened  amid  the  cheering  of  supporters  of  both  teams.  It  was  evident  from  the 
first  play  that  the  game  would  be  bitterly  contested.  The  first  (juarter  ended  scoreless.  In  the 
second  ([uarter  "Ole  Miss"  scored  on  a  varied  attack,  but  failed  to  kick  goal  after  touchdown. 

A  pass  from  McC'ormick  to  lirooks  from  midfield  and  a  fifty-yard  dash  by  Brooks  featured 
the  game  and  resulted  in  a  touchdown  for  Millsaps.  A  kicked  goal  by  C.  Galloway  gave  the 
Majors  a  7  to  6  lead. 

Barbour  intercepted  a  pass  and  raced  forty  yards  to  a  touchdown.  The  half  ended  with 
"Ole  Miss"  in  the  lead  by  12  to  7. 

During  the  third  period  the  reserves  began  to  batter  down  the  tiring  Millsaps'  forwards  and 
successive  line  smashes  carried  the  ball  over.  Barbour  delivered  the  point  after  touchdown  by  a 
kick  from  placement. 

The  wonderful  dash  of  Brooks,  after  receiving  the  pass,  and  his  general  work  in  this 
game,  marked  him  as  one  of  the  best  ends  in  the  state  and,  as  a  result,  he  was  chosen  for  the 
mythical  all-state  eleven.  Stovall  was  a  power  in  the  line,  and  his  punting  was  the  best  of  the 
season  on  the  local  grounds.  He  also  made  the  all-state  eleven.  Maske  played  the  best  gaine 
ever  and  it  was  certain  that  a  runner  tackled  bv  him  was  downed.

Junior  Majors 

Football  Season,  1922 


OR  the  first  time  since  Millsaps  entered  the  intercollegiate  football  world, 
a  Freshman  team  has  had  scheduled  games  with  the  teams  of  other 
institutions. 

Four  games  were  played  by  the  team  of  1922,  and  though  the  result 
in  games  won  was  not  what  was  most  desired,  it  was  at  least  a  be- 
ginning. 

The  Freshman  Team  received  only  general  instruction  at  the  hands 
of  the  Coach  who  had  his  hands  full  putting  a  creditable  varsity  in  the 
field  with  only  a  limited  amount  of  material.  He  could  not  be  expected  to  spend 
much  time  with  the  Junior  Majors,  as  the  freshmen  were  called. 

The  first  game  played  by  the  freshmen  was  against  the  Philadelphia  High  School 
eleven.  The  breaks  were  all  against  the  Juniors,  but  despite  this  and  the  fact  that 
they  had  only  practiced  signals  two  days  before  they  left  for  the  enemy's  territory, 
they  were  only  beaten  by  a  score  of  6  to  o. 

The  second  game  was  played  with  the  Mississippi  Deaf  and  Dumb  School  eleven 
on  local  grounds  and  the  Jimiors  ran  roughshod  over  the  "Dummies."  The  final 
score  was  36  to  O  in  favor  of  the  freshmen. 

Two  games  were  played  with  the  freshman  team  of  ^Vlississippi  College.  In  the 
first,  on  the  local  grounds,  the  Papooses  won  the  decision,  after  a  battle  that  was 
not  decided  until  the  last  whistle.  A  touchdown  in  the  second  quarter  gave  the 
Papooses  six  points,  and  a  goal  from  placement  added  one  more,  giving  them  a 
7  to  o  decision  over  the  Junior  Majors. 

The  final  game  of  the  freshman  schedule  was  played  on  Provine  field,  the  hunting 
ground  of  the  Papooses.  Here  Lady  Luck  took  a  hand,  giving  the  Choctaw  under- 
lings two  touchdowns  on  flukes.  The  Jiuiiors  crossed  the  Papoose  goal  in  the  second 
half,  and  kicked  goal  from  placement,  giving  them  the  seventh  point.  The  final 
score  was:  Papooses,  14;  Junior  Majors,  7. 

The  games  played  gave  the  freshmen  some  excellent  experience  so  that  ^vhen  the 
call  is  sounded  for  candidates  for  the  varsity  in  1923  they  will  be  well  fitted  to  begin 
training  for  places  thereon.

Basketball,    1922 


The  basketball  season  of  1922  could  not  be  viewed  as  entirely  successful  from  the 
point  of  view  of  scoring.  Though  the  Purple  and  White  was  never  defeated  by  a 
great  difference  in  score,  some  jinx  seemed  to  have  camped  on  our  trail  and  all  but 
one  game  was  lost.  The  handicap  of  having  no  adequate  place  to  practice  was  never 
overcome,  and  the  greater  part  of  the  season  a  majority  of  the  regulars  were  continu- 
ously on  the  sick  list.

Baseball,    1922 


Were  it  not  for  the  eternal  optimism  of  the  athletes  and  student  body,  we  might 
have  become  discouraged  by  the  Purple  and  White  baseball  season  of  1922. 

Again  the  jinx  followed  us  and  the  majority  of  winning  scores  were  on  the 
side  of  our  opponents.  Every  man  played  his  position  as  a  star,  and  the  co-operation 
of  the  team  was  marked  throughout  the  sjiring.  There  seemed,  however,  to  be  that 
something  lacking  which  would  give  us  the  big  end  of  the  score. 

The  brilliant  feature  of  the  season  was  our  twice  defeating  the  strong  "Ole  Miss" 
team.  They  came  to  us  fully  expecting  to  send  us  to  an  ignoble  defeat.  The  im- 
expected  happened,  however,  and  they  were  the  ones  who  were  humbled.

Track,    1922 

The  1922  track  team  afforded  ]\Iillsaps  the  opportunity  to  glory  in  victory 
over  our  traditional  rival,  Mississippi  College.  The  Purple  and  AVhite,  under  the 
leadersliip  of  Collins,  prepared  quietly,  and  when  they  went  to  Clinton  the  first  week 
in  May  of  last  year,  hardly  anyone  knew  of  their  going. 

Their  return  was  triumphant,  however,  and  a  Choctaw  scalp  was  hanging  at  the 
waist  of  every  one  of  the  victors.  The  Majors  won  the  meet  by  a  score  of  34  to  42. 
f'irst  place  was  taken  in  seven  events.  First  place  in  the  high  jmiip  was  tied  by  a 
Major,  and  second  place  was  easily  gained  in  se\en  events. 

We  are  proud  of  the  result  of  the  1922  track  season,  accomplished  witliout  the  aid 
or  direction  of  any  sa\'e  those  wlui  took  part.  Can  we  not  make  this  slio\\ing  a 
precedent  ?

Tennis,    1922-1923 


Interest  in  tennis  at  ]VIillsaps  College  has  always  been  intense. 

In  the  spring  of  1922,  the  college  doubles  championship  was  won  by  Burton  Ford 
and  Walter  Stokes,  both  members  of  the  Class  of  '22.  "Fish"  Donald  won  the  coveted 
honor  of  singles  championship,  a  place  that  he  has  held  since  his  entrance  in  college. 

Those  interested  in  the  game  were  not  satisfied  with  letting  the  ability  of  our  cham- 
pions confine  itself  to  the  campus.  A  match  was  arranged  with  Mississippi  College, 
and  Stokes,  Ford,  and  Donald  invaded  the  enemy's  territory  on  Monday,  May  22, 
1922. 

They  came  back  victorious,  Stokes  and  Ford  winning  the  doubles  match  and 
Donald,  the  singles. 

Mississippi  College  attempted  to  take  the  double  championship  to  Clinton  in  the 
early  fall  of  '23,  but  failed,  Chatony  anil  Donald  winning  the  match.

BOBASHELA, 


Right   Royal   Ramblers 

Each  year  it  is  the  custom  of  Dr.  Sullivan's  Geology  Class  to  organize  itself  into  a 
Right  Royal  Ramblers'  Club.  According  to  custom,  the  Class  of  1922-23  perfected 
its  organization  during  the  month  of  October,  1922,  at  the  Petrified  Forest,  near 
Flora,  Miss.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the  Club  to  study  the  topography  of  the  country 
and  to  determine  the  origin  and  value  of  rocks,  fossils,  plants,  etc.

Gleanings  from  the  English  Department 


EBSTER'S  dictionary  defines  humor  as  the  faculty  of  discovering,  expressing,  or 
appreciating  the  ludicrous  or  the  incongruous.  It  is  in  the  interest  of  accuracy 
that  in  the  first  instance  the  connective  or  rather  than  and  is  used.  Otherwise, 
the  definition  would  exclude  some  of  the  most  genuine  humor  of  America — that 
of  the  American  college.  No  reference  is  intended  to  such  humor  as  is  found  in 
the  column  of  jokes  in  the  college  newspaper  or  magazine.  Much  of  that  is  clever 
but  most  of  it  is  self-conscious.  The  unconscious  humor  of  the  American  college 
student  is  more  enjoyable  than  his  self-conscious  humor.  When  the  student  ex- 
presses the  ludicrous  or  the  incongruous  without  either  discovering  or  appreciating 
it,  his  humor  is  likely  to  be  at  its  best. 

Witness,   for  example,   the  following  extracted   from  freshman   compositions: 
One   young   man    thoughtlessly   shared   with    us   a   secret.      He   must   have   been 
of   a  type   rather  sentimental.     Anyway,   when   writing  of   a   particularly  pleasant  camping   trip 
of  a  day's  duration,  he  closed  his  composition  by  the  statement  that  "After  supper  we  got  into  a 
boat  and  fished  and  loved  until  about  ten  or  eleven  o'clock." 

One  who,  no  doubt,  believed  in  a  life  close  to  nature,  gave  the  follow;ing  as  part  of  a  plan 
for  building  a  cabin:  "To  get  everything  ready,  one  needs  five-foot  planks  about  sixteen  feet 
long  and  one  inch  thick.     One  will  also  need  several  pounds  of  nails  and  some  cold  tar." 

After  the  actual  building  of  the  cabin  was  completed,  the  same  student  described  the  method 
by  which  the  wintry  winds  could  be  kept  from  chilling  the  bones  of  the  occupant.  "The  next 
thing  to  do  is  to  chink  all  the  cracks  with  cotton,  then  pour  tar  in  the  cracks  on  the  cotton  so  the 
cotton  cannot  come  out  and  the  tar  will  also  stop  the  cracks,"  he  said.  If  the  materials  were 
applied  with  the  rashness  as  were  the  words  describing  the  operation,  no  doubt  the  cabin 
was  warm. 

The  rural  school  system  of  our  state  comes  in  for  severe  criticism  from  some  of  those  who 
have  been  keenly  observant. 

"A  longer  school  term  would  give  more  time  to  the  incompetent  instructors  to  drill  work  into 
the  students,"  avers  one  who  is  interested  in  education.  The  heads  of  our  educational  system 
should  take  note. 

Another  who  has  investigated  the  conditions  of  sanitation,  states  that  "Germs  are  left  lying 
around  on  the  ground."  Still  another  has  had  his  aesthetic  sense  offended  by  an  unsightly  struc- 
ture when  he  contends  that  "The  rural  school  in  some  localities  is  still  clinging  on  to  the  tradition 
of  a  one-teacher  school  set  up  on  some  little  hill  with  no  more  architectural  beauty  than  a 
goods  box." 

Those  who  have  advanced  beyond  the  freshman  year  have  also  supplied  us  with  a  laugh 
or  so.  One  student  with  more  information  than  ability  to  express  it,  says  "The  Pardoner  of  the 
Canterbury  Tales  has  a  piece  of  the  sail  which  was  on  the  ship  that  Peter  was  on  when  Jesus 
saved  him,  and  a  cross,  and  pigs'  bones."  The  same  student  averred  that  "Faustus  wished  he 
had  never  been  born  many  times  over." 

Another  student  was  somewhat  unfair  to  the  alliterative  quality  of  Anglo-Saxon  verse  when 
he  said  that  "The  author  of  Beoivulf  made  his  poetry  illiterate."  It  may  well  be,  however,  that 
to  such  a  student  the  term  "illiterate"  seems  more  fit. 

Another  divulges  the  information  that  "Chaucer  was  present  at  the  unsuccessful  capture 
of  Rheims."     By  the  way,  has  not  Rheims  been  more  than  once  "unsuccessfully  captured?'' 

The  story  of  Doctor  Faustus  loses  somewhat  in  dignity  at  the  hands  of  the  "slinger  of 
slang"  who  says,  "Dr.  Faustus  sold  his  soul  to  the  devil  for  pleasure.  After  awhile  this  got 
old  to  the  Dr.  and  he  wanted  to  swap  back,  but  nothing  doing." 

The  sublime  Milton  comes  in  for  rough  treatment  at  the  hands  of  an  unappreciative  student, 
who  declares  that  "Paradise  Lost  and  Paradise  Regained  are  epic  poems  written  in  prose." 
Having  applied  the  word  prose  to  the  works  of  John  Milton,  what  could  he  hold  in  reserve  for 
the  so-called  poetry  of  Amy  Lowell. 


129 


BOBASHELA,  1923 


Edward  King,  the  friend  of  Milton,  is  found  transformed  in  the  statement  of  a  student  who 
savs,  "Lycidas  is  an  elegy  on  the  death  of  King  Edward  who  was  drowned  in  the  Irish  Sea." 
We  might  very  truly  add  that  there  is 

"Nothing   of    him    that   doth    change 
But  doth  suffer  a  sea-change 
Into  something  rich  and  strange." 

Another  student  explains  that  "A  characteristic  of  Sterne  was  his  mentalism."  We  are  led 
to  believe  that  the  characteristic  is  as  unusual  as  the  term  applied  to  it.  The  word  seems  to  have 
no  possible  connection  with  sentimentalism. 

The  information  that  "Dryden  wrote  a  great  deal  of  political  satire,  which  was  wildly 
read  and  had  a  great  influence,"  calls  to  mind  the  fact  that  a  similar  reception  has  often  greeted 
political  writings  of  a  much  lower  order  in  the  state  of  Mississippi. 

In  statements  of  different  students  there  is  found  a  history  of  the  beginning  and  the  end 
of  Swift's  political  career.  One  says,  "Swift  led  a  dull  life  up  to  this  time,  and  then  went 
into  politics."  Another  concludes  the  sad  story  saying,  "Swift  was  a  politician  while  in  London; 
he  returned  home  and  went  crazy." 

The  student  who  afHrmed  that  "Swift  wrote  the  Dunciad,  which  is  a  defense  of  the  Irish 
people,"  probably  had  no  aspirations  for  any  of  the  great  politic  offices  in  American  life,  such 
as  policeman.  Mayor  of  Boston,  or  President  of  these  I'nited  States. 

Dryden's  .1  nnus  Mirahilis  is  transformed  into  the  weird,  but  no  less  interesting,  "Animalis 
Manulius."  Sounds  like  a  Roman  cattle  disease,  doesn't  it?  The  same  patient  Latin  student 
avers  that  "Pope  translated   Livid." 

"Pope,"  a  student  says,  "was  born  a  physical  wreck."  Poor  Pope,  so  much  less  fortunate 
than  most  of  us,  who  have,  at  least,  a  hand  in  the  shaping  of  ourselves. 

Blake,    who    wrote    Songs    of    Innocence    and    Experience,    js    accused    of    writing    Songs    of 
Indolence.     It  is  not  the  first  time  a  poet  has  been  so  accused. 

Could  it  be  Johnson's  Life  of  Savage  or  Macaulay's  Essay  on  Johnson  which  is  responsible 
for  the  severe  judgment  of  the  student  who  says,  "Sam  Johnson  wrote  Tlie  Life  of  a  Savage, 
which  is  a  portrait  of  his  own  life  while  in  London." 

Jo/m  Gilpin's  Ride  can  scarcely  be  recognized  in  the  statement  to  the  effect  that  "The 
greatest  of  Cowper's  works  is  Jo/in  Gibbon's  Riols."  The  rose  loses  some  of  its  sweetness  when 
called  by  such  another  name. 

An  even  worse  lot  befalls  Wordsworth's  Intimations  of  Immortality,  which  is  found  variously 
spoken  of  as  Inclinations  to  Immortality.  Intimations  of  Mortality,  Imitations  of  Immortality, 
and,  (iod  save  the  mark.  Inclinations  to  Immorality. 

After  such  treatment  of  the  great  ode  of  the  gentle  egoist,  one  cannot  be  more  than  mildly 
surprised  to  read  from  a  student  that  "Wordsworth  wrote  imaginary  poetry."  And  yet,  Jeffiey, 
wishing  to  say  his  worst  for  Wordsworth's  most  prosy  and  pedestrian  style,  could  not  have  said 
it  more  unkindly. 

Another  would-be  critic  answers  that  "Jane  Austen's  work  has  the  freedom  of  uncertainty." 
The  statement,  though  somewhat  misplaced,  seems  suggestive  of  a  large  truth.  Have  you  ever 
thought  how  bound  in,  how  limited,  certainty  is,  as  compared  with  the  tremendous  freedom  of 
uncertainty  ? 

The  statement  sounds  soinewhat  out  of  harmony  with  Morris'  ordinarv  style  and  subject- 
matter,  but  it  is  none  the  less  interesting  to  be  informed  that,  when  Milanion  marries  Atalanta, 
"The   King  gave  his  daughter  a  big  dairy."     Such   doweries   are  even  yet   held   in   high   esteem. 

Notice,  too,  the  simple  and  pathetic  rendering  which  a  student  gives  the  lover's  case  in 
Rosetti's  Blessed  Damozel — "He  thinks  he  hears  the  voice  of  the  maiden  singing  in  Heaven,  but 
he  awakes  and  finds  it  is  only  a  s<iuirrel  singing  in  the  trees." 

I'.ven  the  poorest  speller  ma\  sometimes  make  a  virtue  of  his  defect,  and  stumble  upon  a 
statement  so  suggestive  of  truth  as  the  following:  "Byron,  after  biting  his  sweetheart  good-bye, 
went  to  Cainbridge,  where  he  gave  his  attention  to  history  and  friction." 

Though  such  statements,  by  the  great  American  college  student,  bear  with  them,  for  the 
teacher,  the  sting  of  defeat,  in  many  cases  the  unconscious  humor  of  the  deliverance  brings,  along 
\vith  the  sting,  an  effective  antidote.

WISE  AND  OTHERWISE 


By  D.  F.  McNeil 


»ervice 


I  seek  to  gain  the  greatest  heights 

That  mortals  may  attain; 
I  care  not  for  the  flow'ry  ways, 

The  laurel  wreath  of  fame. 
I  have  not  sought  for  shining  gold 

My  pleasures  to  alloy; 
I  only  seek  that  happiness 

In  service  we  enjoy. 

I  care  not  now  for  empty  praise 

For  deeds  I   haven't  done ; 
But  when  the  last  farewell  is  said, 

The  battle's  fought  and  won, 
I  hope  to  leave  some  work  of  worth 

Within  the  hearts  of  men, 
To  help  them  as  they  go  along 

The  victory  to  win. 

And,  so  in  service  do  we  find 

The  joy  that  all  men  seek, 
And  some  reward  is  given  for 

Each  kindh'  word  we  speak. 
The  plaudits  that  the  crowd  can  give 

Will  wither  and  decay, 
But  memory  of  a  service  done 

Will  never  pass  away. 


Faint   Heart 


My  lady  fair, 

Her  golden  hair 
Let's  fall  a-down  her  shoulder; 

I'd  steal  a  tress — 

She's  no  redress — ■ 
Were  I  a  little  bolder. 

From   her   sweet   lip 
A   bee  might  sip. 
Sweeter  than  rose-leaf's  savor. 
A  kiss  I'd  take — 
No  cry  she'd  make — 
Were  I  a  little  braver. 

Her  neat,  trim  waist 

Just  suits  my  taste. 
Close  in  my  arms  I'd  fold  her. 

And  clasp  her  tight — 

She'd  feel  no  fright — 
Were  I  a  little  bolder. 

She's  waiting  now 
'Till  I  find  how 

To  ask  of  her  a  favor. 
She'll  be  my  wife — 
I'd  stake  my  life — ■ 

When  I'm  a  little  braver. 


Love    on    the    Campus 


Dan  Cupid  has  a  funny  way 

Of  going  'round  about  his  work. 

Upon  the  campus  every  day 

This  little  god  is  seen  to  lurk; 

And  if  we  looked  we  all  might  see 

This  tiny  sprite  extolling  fee. 

In  every  car,  on  every  bench. 

At  least  one  pair  is  seen  to  sit. 

And  Cupid's  arrows  seem  to  wrench 
Each  heart;  and  so  the  flame  is  lit 

That  grows  into  a  flame  the  while 

The  older  ones  sit  back  and  smile. 


And  e'en  among  the  guilty  ones 

Are  many  Sophs  and  Juniors,  too; 

And  in  the  lists  there  often  comes 

A  Senior,  though  these  are  but  few; 

So  thus  the  evil  grows  and  grows — 

Where  will  it  end?     Oh,  goodness  knows! 

Yet  I'll  not  mention  names  for  fear 
Of  libel  suits  or  something  such  ; 

But  I  will  whisper  in  your  ear 

If  you  will  promise  me  this  much — 

That  you'll  not  tell  a  single  soul 

From  whom  this  god's  receiving  toll. 


But,  no  I  won't;  I'll  think  a  while 

Before  I  give  the  names.     But,  say! 

It  seems  I  see  a  damsel  smile. 

So  I  can't  give  myself  away. 

And  thus  the  moral  is  made  plain — 

Don't  dig  a  ditch — you'll  fall  therein.

MISS  LYDIA  E.  PINKHAM  IN  LOVE  SCANDAL 

I  Famous  Lady  Royally  F»rominent  Senior  a 

Eriteptained  Wliile  in  City  Victim  of  a  Fickle  Heart 


Jackson,  Miss.,  Oct.  4. — Miss 
Lydia  E.  Pinkhani.  one  ot  the 
world's  foremost  benefactors  of 
the  human  race,  was  given  a  re- 
ception in  the  home  of  Miss  Belle 
Lindsey  yesterday  afternoon  be- 
tween   the    hours    ot    four    and    six. 

Miss  Pinkham  is  en  route  to 
Mongolia,  where,  she  states,  she 
has  found  a  new  root  that  is  a 
panacea  for  all  ills.  She  is  most 
enthusiastic  in  her  endorsement  of 
the   new    remedy. 

"It  will  cure  corns,  dandruff, 
stomach  trouble,  eczema,  ear  ache 
and  most  anything,"  she  stated, 
"and  the  beauty  about  the  whole 
thing  is  that  we  are  going  to  be 
able  to  put  dollar  bottles  on  the 
market  for  only  thirty-five  cents." 

Miss  Pinkham  is  a  somewhat 
portly  woman  about  five  feet  tall, 
and  was  gorgeously  clad  in  an 
amber  colored  gown  of  tulle.  She 
wore  a  pair  of  latest  blaek  pumps 
studded  with  emeralds,  and  hose 
to  match. 

As  she  entered  the  reception 
hall  she  was  warmly  greeted  by 
women  who  have  benefitted  from 
her  wonderful  remedy.      After   ac-

knowledging  the  greeting,  she  de- 
livered a  short  talk  on  the  virtues 
of.  her  remedy  in  which  she  urged 
that  all  beware  ot  the  imitations 
which    are    flooding    the    market. 

"Demand  the  original  Lydia  E. 
Pinkham's  Compound,"  she  con- 
cluded with  a  flourish. 

The  reception  room  was  taste- 
fu'.ly  decorated  with  herbs  that 
are  used  in  the  compound  while 
the  walls  were  covered  with  testi- 
monials and  covers  from  bottles. 
The  testimonials  were  gathered 
from  newspapers  from  every  cor- 
ner ot  the  United  States.  After 
serving  punch  which  had  been 
spiked  with  several  bottles  of  the 
natural  remedy,  the  reception 
came  to  an  end. 

Miss  Lindsey  is  being  congratu- 
lated by  her  many  friends  over  the 
success  of  yesterday  afternoon's 
entertainment,  while  Miss  Pink- 
ham has  added  a  host  of  those 
who  have  been  sufferers  to  those 
who   now    enjoy   perfect    health. 


Millsaps  College,  Oct.  12. — "Get 
a  bathing  suit,"  urged  Mr.  M.  M. 
Black,  treasurer  ot  Millsaps  Col- 
lege, this  morning  in  a  short  talk 
to    the    student    body. 

Mr.  Black  was  all  smiles  when 
he  appeared  garbed  in  a  boldly 
cut,  one-piece  bathing  suit,  striped 
with  the  most  popular  colors.  He 
also  wore  his  usual  derby  and  car- 
ried   his   sun   shade. 

"I  have  trouble  in  keeping  my 
papers  tog'ether,"  Mr.  Black 
stated,  "as  there  are  no  pockets, 
but  I  find  the  suit  particularly  ap- 
propriate when  I  visit  the  dining 
hall." 

"The  last  time  I  visited  the  boys 
— it  was  at  an  early  hour  in  the 
nioming  I  believe — my  spirits 
were  a  bit  dampened  so  I  thought 
It   best    to   prepare    myself." 


P.  K.  MOVEMENT 

ENDORSED  BY  PROF 


'Handsome"    Harmon    of    Millsaps 

College    Says   "Get   iu   the 

Swim." 


.lackson.  Miss..  Jan.  31. — Profes- 
sor Frances  S.  Harmon,  better 
known  as  "Handsome,"  a  promi- 
nent member  ot  the  Millsaps  Col- 
lege faculty,  has  endorsed  the 
great  P.  ■  K.  movement  that  is 
sweeping   the   country. 

On  the  morning  ot  January  2S 
Professor  Harmon  was  surprised 
by  a  reporter  of  "Le  Scandale." 
while  seated  in  an  automobile  with 
one  ot  the  fair  co-ed  vamps  of 
Millsaps. 

The  reporter,  who  was  passing 
near  the  cars,  heard  a  low  mumble 
proceeding  from  a  new  Essex 
parked  near  the  steps.  He  stole 
behind  it  and  this  is  what  he  saw: 

Mr.  Harmon  was  holding  the 
fair  young  thing  in  a  tight  em- 
brace; he  was  tenderly  whispering 
sweet   nothings  in   her  ear. 

By  some  trick  of  fate,  the  re- 
porter sneezed  and  surprised  the 
two  lovers.  Mr.  Harmon  seemed

Necessity  for  reporting  the 
escapade  of  J.  B.  Ahney  is  de- 
plored by  this  paper.  We  hate 
to  color  our  sheet  with  "yellow" 
stuff,  but  the  facts  happened  and 
wo    must    print    what    follows: 

Mr.  Abney.  a  member  of  the 
Millsaps  College  student  body,  and 
an  aspirant  for  a  political  office, 
became  illusioned.  He  thought 
that  a  man  to  become  prominent 
in  Mississippi  politics  must  mix 
himself  in  some  scandal. 

Working  on  this  theory,  Mr, 
Abney  proceeded  to  become  mixed 
in   a   scandal. 

Joe,  who  has  always  had  the 
reputation  of  one  who  breaks 
hearts,  became  infatuated  with  a 
fair    co-ed. 

Well,  the  affair  continued  and 
the  girl  fell  madly  in  love  with 
"Jomio."  She  denied  herself  the 
companj'    of    every    other    boy    and 

RIVERS  APPLEWHITE 
SUES  FORMER  LOVER 


.Alleged 


I'raternit.v       -Man 
Defendant. 


Miss  Rivers  Applewhite,  nine- 
teen and  nifty,  surprised  her 
friends  yesterday  by  announcing 
that  she  had  brought  suit  for  $5,- 
000,000  against  Smily  Charlesbro, 
alleged  frat  man,  who  has  been 
unduly  attentive   to  her  lately. 

The  exact  cause  of  the  suit  is 
not  known,  and  because  of  her 
timid  nature,  it  is  hard  to  draw- 
Miss  Applewhite  into  a  discussion 
ot  her  case.  She  says,  however, 
that  the  suit  is  a  result  of  lack  of 
affection. 

Miss  .Applewhite  alleges  that 
Smily  caused  her  to  contract  a 
severe  cold,  to  lose  the  use  of  her 
voice  for  two  and  a  half  days  and 
that  during  the  time  of  her  sick- 
ness,   he   paid   no    attention   to   her. 

In  commenting  further,  she 
said.  "I  first  met  Smily — as  I  af- 
fectionately called  him — two  years 
ago  at  a  dance  at  the  Firemen's 
Hall  on  the  Gulf  Coast.  He  gave 
me  a  grand  rush,  cooed  to  me  be- 
neath the  moon  and  to  the  laugh-

awaited  the  popping  of  the  fatal 
question. 

It  nevei'  came.  Joe  saw  an- 
other. His  fickle  heart  tired  of 
tlie  first  fair  one  and  he  .sought 
another   field   of   conquest. 

Feeling  between  the  two  ladies 
involved,  became  intense;  and 
finally  a  hair  pulling  occurred 
with    fatal    results. 

"I  should  not  be  held  resjion- 
sible,"  said  Mr.  Abney  on  being 
interviewed.  "Because  they  fall 
for   me    is   no   fault   of  mine." 

The  first  lady  concerned  is  suing 
J.  B.  for  $100.00  and  breach  of 
trust.  Joe  is  Jubilant.  He  says 
that  his  entrance  into  the  political 
arena  is  marked  for  success  be- 
cause of  the  "affairs"  in  which  he 
has    participated. 


PROF.  BOWEN'S 

QUICK  RECOVERY 

"I  Mas  a  Broken  Man  for  Twentj- 
Years.      Now  I'm   Well." 


"Having  tried  every  doctor  in 
tliree  states,  changed  climate,  un- 
derwear, and  cooks  a  half-dozen 
times,  I  continued  deplorably  weak 
as  far  as  my  physical  condition 
was  concerned,"  says  C.  Asbeen 
Bowen,  H.  E.  N.,  P.  K.,  Profes- 
sor of  Instruction  at  Millsaps 
College. 

"I  was  unable  to  leave  off  my 
overcoat  either  in  winter  or  in 
summer,  had  to  wear  my  over- 
shoes continually,  even  to  bed,  and 
was  lost  without  my  umbrella," 
Mr.    Bowen    continued. 

"One  day  while  being  treated  at 
the  Charity  Hospital.  I  secured  a 
bottle  of  'An-i-lac.'  I  took  one 
dose  and  felt  better  than  a  man 
with  a  pair  of  monkey  glands.  I 
took  another  dose  and  felt  like  a 
man  of  twenty.  The  third  dose 
reduced  my  years  by  three  more. 
I  was  afraid   to  drink  further." 

Continuing  his  praise  of  this 
natural  remedy,  Prof.  Bowen  said 
that  after  he  had  taken  several 
doses,  he  gave  the  bottle  to  his 
wife  for  furniture  polish.  At  an- 
other time  his  Ford  gave  out  ot 
gas.  and  "An-i-lac"  was  used  in 
the   engine   to   great   advantage.

The  purpose  of  "Le  Scandale"

pen— and  it  never  will  happen. 

From,  this  statement  you  know

borders  on  the  truth.  We  have 
endeavored  to  make  what  is 
printed  herein  ridiculous,  and  un-

in  our  purpose. 

If  you  have  been  one  of  those

of  our  vitriolic  pen,  count  yourself 
as  one  of  the  chosen.  The  very 
fact  that  you  have  been  considered

FACULTY  RULES 

DANCING  0.  K. 


Dr.  Watkins  astonished  the  stu- 
dent body  on  Wednesday  morning 
when  he  announced  that  the  "lid 
is  off,"  and  in  celebration  the  col- 
lege was  going  to  bear  the  expense 
of  a  big  dance  to  bo  given  next 
Tuesday. 

He  also  said  that  hereafter  the 
•  ■'lUcge  is  going  to  encourage  the- 
atricals, and  urged  that  the  Y. 
W.  C.  A.  stage  a  musical  comedy 
,ifter  the  order  of  the  "Broadway 
Review." 

This  action,  he  announced,  was 
taken  at  the  behest  of  Professors 
I^in,  Bowen,  and  Noble,  All  per- 
formances will  be  under  the  direct 
supervision    of    Dr.    Noble. 


Jackson,  Miss.,  Mar.  4. — As  an 
aftermath  of  his  unreserved  en- 
dorsement of  the  great  P.  K. 
Movement,  and  because  of  pi'es- 
sure  from  the  other  members  of 
the  faculty.  Prof.  F.  .S.  Harmon, 
history  lecturer,  is  going  to  intro- 
duce  a   course   in   love   making. 

"I  have  had  wide  experience 
with  women,"  says  Mr.  Harmon. 
"I  have  tamed  those  from  the 
wild  and  woolly  pine  forests  in 
South  Mississippi  to  the  ciueens  of 
the   underworld   in  Paris." 

"I  know  'em,"  the  Professor 
laughingly  remarked,  on  being  in- 
terviewed by  a  "Le  Scandale"  re- 
porter. 

The  course  will  be  rather  expen- 
sive as  the  strain  on  Mr.  Harmon's 
heart  will  warrant  an  extra 
charge. 

The  membership,  of  course,  will 
be  confined  to  the  feminine  ele- 
ment of  the  student  body,  and 
will    be   limited. 

Plans  for  organization  arc  as  yet 
incomplete,  but  Mr.  Harmon  says 
that  the  class  will  meet  from  9;30 
to  — ■  each  night.  Each  class  is 
to  consist  of  only  one  girl,  as  the 
import  of  the  work  will  not  allow 
a    greater    number. 

"I  have  an  entirely  new  method, 
l)y   wliich   a  girl   may   get   a  man." 

".Special  attention,"  he  con- 
cluded his  interview,  "will  be 
given  to  hugging  and  kissing.  I 
can  teach  a  girl   75  ways  to  kiss." 

Ho,  girls,  come  early  for  a 
front    seat.

ter  of  the  waves,  and  promised  to 
be   forever   faithful, 

"When  our  courtship  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  Millsaps  Campus,  he 
was  a  most  constant  and  attentive 
lover    (apologies   to    Bill    Watkins). 

"He  accompanied  me  to  church 
regularly,  at  which  place  he 
sliowiMl  his  entire  disregard  for 
my    feelings   a   short   time   ago. 

"One  cold  January  morning.  I 
attended  the  church  of  Smily — 
how  I  love  that  name — and  he 
opened  a  window  behind  the  seat 
in  which  I  was  sitting.  Thinking 
he  meant  only  to  cool  me,  I  said 
nothing.  But  the  draft  continued, 
I  became  cold,  I  shivered.  I  got 
numb,  soon  stilT.  But  he  only 
laughed  in  derision.  He  was  sil- 
ting by  another  and  refused  to 
close   the  window. 

"Sickness  resulted  in  Ihe  condi- 
tion of  silence  mentioned  and  I 
eiuihl  see  nothing  else  to  do  but 
to  sue. 

"I  loved  Smily — 1  love  him  yet. 
Because  of  that  little  spark  that  is 
left  in  my  heart,  I  am  asking  only 
lfS.Ofl0,n00   balm," 


The  musical  comedy,  followed 
by  a  dance,  given  by  the  Y.  W. 
was  a  huge  success.  The  girls 
who  took  part  are  to  be  compli- 
mented on  the  bewitching  cos- 
tumes they  wore.  Dr.  Noble  also 
deserves  an  undue  amount  of 
praise  for  the  success  of  the  per- 
formance. The  skill  with  which 
the  girls  danced  and  acted  showed 
that  they  had  been  directed  by  a 
master.  Dr.  Noble  said  that  he 
had  given  years  of  study  to  the 
m.usical  comedy  and  that  since  re- 
siding in  Jackson  he  has  never 
missed  a  performance  at  the  local 
play  house. 

The  play  was  carried  out  in  a 
rather  novel  fashion.  The  officers 
of  the  Y.  TV^  first  appeared  and 
gave  a  most  fetching  interpreta- 
tion of  the  dance  of  spring.  The 
officers  were  followed  by  the  vari- 
ous committees,  each  giving  a 
comic   sketch,    song,    or    dance. 

There  was  really  no  plot  to  the 
performance  but  it  wa.s  thoroughly 
enjoyed    by   those    present. 

The  most  exciting  event  of  the 
evening  was  the  dance  following 
the  performance.  It  was  given  in 
the  living  room  of  Galloway  Hall. 
For  the  occasion  the  Millsaps  or- 
chestra had  been  secured — and  the 
Jazz  music  they  did  turn  out. 
"Jazz  Hound"  Sullivan  kept  the 
place  in  an  uproar  by  his  antics 
and  the  uncanny  music  he  drew 
from   his  bass  viol. 

The  e.xpected  always  happens. 
There  was  one  rather  tipsy  per- 
son on  the  floor.  Johnny  Fergu- 
son got  loose  after  a  few  too  many 
draughts  from  a  little  brown  jug, 
and  caused  quite  a  commotion  by 
his  attempts  to  sing.  He  was 
taken  from  the  hall,  though,  and 
the  remainder  of  the  evening  was 
uneventful. 


KAPPA  DELTA-PHI  MU 
GIVE  BIG  PARTY 

The  Kappa  Delta  and  Phi  Mu 
sororities  entertained  at  a  party 
last  week  to  which  were  invited 
the  rushees  of  both   organizations. 

Never  before  on  the  campus  was 
such  a  scene  of  comradery  wit- 
nessed. The  members  of  Kappa 
Delta  could  sec  virtue  only  in  Phi 
Mu,  and  vice  versa.  It  is  going 
to  be  hard  for  the  freshmen  to 
choose  this  year  which  organiza- 
tion   they    intend   to   join. 

The  entertainment  took  iilaee  in 
the  gym,  which  was  tastefull.v 
di'eoiuted.  A  large  punch  bowl 
w.-is  placed  at  one  end,  from  which 
tliiwed  giMen  lluid,  the  like  of 
which  has  never  before  been 
tasted.  Eats  were  extant  and 
every  one  partook  sumptuously. 

The  members  of  the  two  sorori- 
ties  enjoyed   themselves  thorough-

There  are  three  vital  prin- 
ciples in  the  policy  w^hich 
governs  our  relations  with 
cur  customers: 

PRICE-  -The  honest  pricing  of  mer- 
chandise, to  allow  a  fair  profit,  and  no 
more ; 

QUALITY — Dependable  goods,  backed 
by  the  responsibility  of  national  manu- 
facturers : 

SERVICE — A  sincere  attention  to  the 
individual,  which  subordinates  selling  to 
service. 

By  these  principles  we  must  depend 
for  success  on  your  appreciation  of  fair 
dealing.  Will  you  not  give  us  an  op- 
portunity   to    vindicate   our   policy?
