TOO have lived," the old
grad says; "and in my day
life abounded with things
that were beautiful and joyous
and clever." If, then, in that
new and strange future that is
before us, we of the old guard
can find in these pages some-
thing that will bring back for a
moment the light of youth to
the eye almost grown dim,
something that will assure us
that "we too have lived," the
aim of those who now present
this volume will have been
realized.

Alma Mater

Alma Mater, dear old Milhaps,

Loyal sons are we;
Our fond hearts are thine alone

And evermore shall be.
Proud art tlwu in classic beauty

Of thy noble past.
With thy ivatclnvord. Honor, Duty,

Thy high fame shall last.

Ev'ry student, man and maiden,

Sivell the glad refrain.
Till the breezes, music laden.

Waft it back again.
Proud art thou in classic beauty

Of thy noble past.
With thy watchword. Honor, Duty,

Thy high fame shall last.

ZiMOSKI

II.ME

V.w Hook;

Coach

aches

Coach "Zinimv," scrxinti his hist \car a; a PurjiK' ni.'iitor, continued to produce
lines that c\rn the hcst that the mighty ALnbaiiiians hurled a,<:ainst it could not penetrate
ior many apjireciable gains. Coach Zimoski has turned out some mighty good players
since he took over the reins of the athletic squads here. He came here as a stranger,
and was the first full-time coach that the college boasted. \Vhere\er he is. we het
that he has a good line and that he will give Howard a good fight, if not beat them.

"(joat" Hale, he of the wide-spread football and baseball ability, has worked him-
self into the hearts of all students and players. His coming brought a spirit of self-
confidence that was noticeably lacking, to the phuers. Next year he wdl be head foot-
ball coach, ;ind baseball coach.

Coach \'an Hook had the freshmen this year, and wliat a freshman bunch he
did have! Look at the records. He got pronioteil though, and next year he will be
there helping the \arsity. Ask a freshman who is the most liked instructor on the
campus ;uul he will readily tell you that Van is.

Gaines Crawford

Sexton McManus

All-State

Captain Crawford ended his three years of starring on the Purple eleven in a burst
of glory. Those three years he has been picked as first choice on All-State teams. It
is the concensus of opinion that he is one of the very best triple threat men to e\er
cavort on a state gridiron. Always fighting and trying to win, Crawfortl made scin-
tillating plays in every game and against the best teams that tlie Purple fought.
"Windy" will sure be missed next year.

McManus, the "big little man" of the Major squad, was pronounced by football
critics of four states as the best center, regardless of size, seen in action this year in
their respective states. "IVIac" is captain-elect of next year, winner of the Brannon
Trophy for general football ability, and was placed first on all All-State teams.
Weighing only one hundred and fifty pounds, MclManus was one of the light-
est men on the team and was the lightweight of the line. Lack of weight could not
overcome a strong heart, a quick brain and speed, so Alac was one of the really good
football players on the squad.

Wright

Moody

Welsh

Bilbo

"(n)OFY" Wright, after a late start on account of injuries, rapidly rounded into
good form and was one of the most consistent ground gainers on the squail. \\'atch
him go in the fall.

S. R. Moody, diminutise, but heady and fast quarter, made many sparkling jilays.
He fought all the time and will be missed next year.

"Kid" Welsh, the boy from Bogalusa, is counteil on by the coaches as being one
of the mainsprings of next fall's team. Heavy and fast, Welsh is a football player.

"(lov" Rii.iu). In his second year of varsity experience, "Gov" started most of
the games and in each one acquitted himself well. ]VIany a man was snared by Bilbo
when a touchdown seemed certain.

Johnson

Campbrli.

Peevey

"Pat" Rouse was the line backer par excellence. He plugged up holes, he stopped
charging backs, he played his position with adeptness. Pat will be here next year.

Jesse Johnson earned the monicker "Seven "Sards'" Johnson. Give him the ball ;
then move the line seven yards. Jesse's first year on the varsity, and he will be back
next year.

"Ted" Campbell has the requisites of a consistent performer, and in all probability
will have an opportunity to display them this fall.

"Mr." Peevey leaned this way and that way and down came two men. In his
last year for the Purple, Peevey lent valuable assistance to holding opposing teams to
minimum downs.

Baxter

l^ROOKS

McLaurin

BOSWELL

"Dick" Baxter, playing his third year on the varsity, displayed all the fight,
speed and ability that marked him as a fresh star of '24.

"Puny" Brooks, big and brawny, played this season handicapped by injuries. He
stayed in the game though.

(JiLMER McLaurin did not play frosh football, but he came out this year and
made the varsity. "Mac" starred in several encounters and promises to be a mainstay
of the line next year.

"Potts" Boswell's claim to fame was gained when the Purple played Miami.
The Florida sports editors tacked this to him, so we will use it too — "that lumbering
tackle."

Bennett

Bl.OUNT

Drane

Beai.i.e

"LoN Chaxey" Bexxett, ill his first varsity year, played stellar ball and is
counted a bright prospect for next fall's team.

"Rube" Blouxt has played four years of ball for the purple and it will not be
easy to forget Rube's cutting in and grabbing a pass from Crawford. Rube was right
there.

"Red" Draxe had a hard job being understudy for McManus. AIcManus will
graduate some day and then "Red" will get to play.

John Bealle, a sophomore, gave the two regular ends a run for their money. He
played a consistent game and starred on breaking up punts.

HOI.COMB

Rape

Bounds

KURTS

RoHERT HoLCOMH, plaviiig his second year on tlie \arsity, was a linesman of
proven ability. Cireat things are expected of him.

"Turhy" Rape, after playing for two years on the varsity, slowed up a bit and
he fought against youth and speed for his place in the line. His play at Miami was
one of the high points of the game.

George Bounds was always there scrimmaging, fighting, and is a strong can-
didate for a berth next fall.

C7EORGE Kl'RTS punted his team out of danger many times, but was handicappi'd
by injuries received early in the season.

../^^Utei

Varsity Foottall

The Major griddcrs of '27 were a fighting group of players whT
played a good brand of football, though thi' record is not of the impres-
sive variety. Crawford and McManiis furnished the thorns for the
opposition. Crawford, always a threat, got away in almost every game
for a brilliant end run, while AIcMar.us was showing about three oppos-
ing linesmen how to play their positions. The Purple, for the first time,
played a post season game. Tliey journeyed to Miami and jilayed the
University there on the golden sands. Beat them, too.

Varsity Basketball

Millsaps experienced a mediocre basketball season in 1928.
Failure of tbe team to show consistent winning form was
attributed to the lack of goal shooting ability'. Windy
Crawford was a bright light, with Goober Carruth star-

Varsity Baseball

Baseball at IMillsaps with "Cjoat" Hale coaching it,
promises to wage a bitter fight to regain some of its lost
prestige. This year there is a noticeable lack of pitching
talent, but tlie FreshniLMi ha\e some to spare and tlie
experience of tliis year promises to hclii in the buihiing
of a team for next year.

FresKinan Basketball

A well-rounded court delegation was developed by Coach Van Hook this year. The outfit
showed good form and teamwork in all of the contests played, and there were quite a number of
them. Several excellent prospects were polished for future varsity service. A number of local
prep combinations were trimmed during the season, and but seldom did the Minors taste defeat;
then it was never by any overwhelming score. Austin Brantley was the brightest individual
star of the lot, closely followed by Marion Hale. The high light of the season was the 115 to
19 victory over the Canton Y. M. C. A.

Setzler Lixcle Newell Steen Lott

Girls Basketball

One of Alillsap's most colorful and successful athletic
organizations is the Co-ed basketball team. Always fight-
ing to win, always ready to fight, and most of the time
winning, the Co-eds lost the State Championship in a
heart-breaking game to Delta State, (^f tlie regulars,
Newell, Lingle and Setzler will not return next year.
Lingle and Setzler were two of the best forwards seen
on th? local court. Their shooting and their team work
was little short of marvelous. Strait (not in panel), did
good work at guard.

Minor Football

The Minor football machine was the most powerful in the history
of the institution. Playing through an unusually hard schedule, the
frosh came out on the long end of the score every time but once. Clarke
College was tlic team that turned the trick and they did it by the margin
of one touchdown. The team, fast and hea\ y, was with such an array
of talent that it would be hard to pick a really indi\idual star, rather
we would say the team was the star. Jake Miller with dazzling end
runs, bullet-like or loop passes, was, if anyone was, the best indi\idual
performer of the bimch. The team, of course, pointed to Mississippi
College's Papooses. The baby Chocs were completely snowed under,
32 to O, by an avalanche of line bucks, passes and perfect team woik.

Millsaps Golf Club

Coif is tlu' one sjiort tliat has taken the campus hy
storm. Ahnost an\' hour of the h'iihted ones, some poor
nut ean be seen knocking tlie lieuce out of the h'ttU' \vhite
pellet; then with a happy smile lighting his countenance,
plod over the hill after the elusive pill. The club was
organized this year with R. E. Byrd as president and
Hoyle Byrd as secretary. A tournament with a repre-
sentative entry from the student body was played, and
judging from its success and the enthusiasm displayed
tliere, it promises to be an annual featvn'e of the Golf
Club.

Ford Fowler

Tenms

Only one match has been played by the Major
racquetccrs this season. In that match at Southwestern
Lomsiana Institute, the team ot Fowler and ]]oswell won
the doubles sets but lost both singles contests after a hard
iiijht. In the Mississippi Intercollegiate tournament to be
played on the ^lillsaps College courts, Boswell and Cap-
tain Fowler, with Sessions and Ford as capable reser\es,
shnuld go far towards winning the co\etetl championship.
Th? ter.m is made up of three juniors and one sophomore,
Roswell, who will all be back next year to fight, Hght hard,
to win.

The Choctaws Win

In the feature contest of the year, Millsaps' utter inability to break up anybody's
forward passing attack proved to be the margin of \ictory for the Clioctaws from
Mississippi College. The Majors fought hard but Hitt threw passes in, over, and
around our men to the mournful tune of two touchdowns. The Majors were within
striking distance of the Choctaws' goal line, but the needed punch was not there.
It was by Crawford's consistently good punting that the Braves' score was held down.
It was our game in the fiist and third quarters, tlien the Chocs took tilings into their
hands in tlie second and fourth rounds. Wait until next year! That is not a threat,
it is a jirayer.

The Organization

The Philomathean Literary Society of Millsaps College was organized January i6, 1928.
At this time only a temporary organization was effected, the only two officers elected being
Peggy O'Neal, temporary chairman, and Bessie George Donald, temporary secretary. It was
not until February 14, 1928, that a permanent organization was set up and the officers named
above were elected to serve for the remainder of the current session. The constitution and
by-laws of the society were also permanently adopted at this meeting. The regular meeting
time was set as Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock. The general plan of the programs is the
same at those of the Galloway and Lamar Societies, although some variations have been made
from time to time. The major aim is to train the women students of Millsaps for excellence
in debating and public speaking.

During the latter part of the last term the Philomatheans plan to participate in the Inter-
Society Debates of the college, debating both the Lamars and the Galloways. They have
also arranged for an intercollegiate debate with Belhaven College and have arrangements
under way with several other colleges. Outstanding during this session have been: Dorothy
Moore, Linnie Lingle, Nell Finch, Ruth Gainey, Hattie Ray Lewis and Marie Flink.

Resolved

We will love in a new way

In this new year,

With quiet, sacred tenderness,

Which needs no vulgar, cheap caress,

Devoid of kisses .... none the less

Sincere.

We will love in a new way

In this new year.

But resolutions amorous,

Like kisses platitudinous,

Should all be celebrated . . . thus . .

Aly dear.

Fires

G. E. Gkkkxway

I iliJ not think that I could strike a spark
To kindle you from your serene restraint.
With hopeless hands 1 sought you in the dark,
Resigned to your caprice without complaint.
But luito nie you yielded, you complieil
With fire whicli to all others was denied.

Dear lighter, can all this be really true
That I can get a decent light from \()u?
