DEDICATION
In 1945 Dr0 Neal Bond Fleming became a member of
the Millsaps College Faculty* Since that time he has
gained the admiration and the respect of all who have
been a part of the college community.
It would not be incorrect to say that he represents the
true spirit of Millsaps. His constant search for wisdom
and the truth have labeled him as a fellow student of
ours. His courtesy, his friendly disposition, and his
eagerness to be of service to one and all have labeled
him as our comrade. His Christian thought has made him
our brother.
Millsaps College will continue to grow and prosper,
and we are confident that many of her students will grow
in mind, body, and spirit in the footsteps of one who will
always be remembered and loved by those who have had
the privilege of knowing him and his life.
It is our pleasure to dedicate our 1956 BOBASHELA
to...
DR0 NEAL BOND FLEMING

OUR PRESIDENT
Under the guidance of Dr. H.E. Finger,
Millsaps College has hopes of expansion —
both in size and influence. In the past few
years he has given generously of his time and
efforts to make Millsaps a greater institution.
His hard work has been beneficial not
only to members of the College, but also to
all citizens of the surrounding community.
A civic, social, and religious leader, he
will continue to enrich our lives and the lives
of others in future years.

DEAN OF FACULTY
JAMES SHARBROUGH FERGUSON
The duties of an Academic Dean are as numerous as the mind can imagine. This
job calls for intelligence, patience, understanding, and concentration.
Millsaps College is fortunate in having as its Academic Dean a man with all
these fine qualities plus many more. No other person could better fill this position
and at the same time possess a friendly and co-operativeair as Dean Ferguson has a
habit of doing.
Millsaps has long had the policy of selecting as its leaders men and women of
Christian training who will be valuable in all the various phases which he or she
must enter. It is evident to all those who know him that Dean Ferguson represents
that type of leader-a man who will always be remembered when we thinkof our Alma
Mater. Not only will he be remembered, but the things for which he stood and tried
to instill in us and all those he knew through his various activities.
We are proud of our Dean and his achievements . We welcome his friendship,
his advice, and his constant efforts to improve the conditions of the college.

IN MEMORIAM
JAMES LOVICK WASSON
--GOD BE WITH YOU 'TIL WE MEET AGAIN —
Millsaps College suffered the loss of James LovickWasson on September
11, 1955. Truly, it was a loss, for the qualities found in this young man
were valuable, creative and enduring. He was loved, admired and respected
by the entire college community.
His life and ideals will always remain in the memories of those who knew
him, and his principles will be a source of inspiration for all.
May we remember that a job done by Luke was a job done well, and may
we strive to carry on the banner which he held high.

RICHARD R. MALEY
IN MEMORIAM
RICHARD R. MALEY
—GOD BE WITH YOU 'TIL WE MEET AGAIN —
This space in our annual is dedicated to one of our students who was called to
higher service on November 5, 1955. Its purpose is to pay tribute to one who was
taken from us as he stood on the threshold of manhood. In no way could any amount
of space on paper compensate for the vacancy which his death left in the hearts and
minds of his friends and relatives.
The Christian beliefs that are ours teach us that "All things work together for
good for those that love the Lord." Though life is strange and death even stranger,
we must realize that there is a purpose in every act of God. With this in mind we
must continue to face life in all of its reality and look forward to the day when we
will be in the presence of this comrade and companion who has gone on before us.
Dick Maley will always be remembered, admired, and loved by all those who
knew him at Millsaps College.

THE PLAYERS
The Players includes all students who work on the brilliant productions of Mr . Lance
Goss and Co. This year "Cyrano de Bergerac," "The Rainmaker," and "Come Back, Little
Sheba" were the highlights of the stage.
Besides the main productions, one-act plays were directed by Burton Jackson, Walter Ely,
and Karen Gilfoy. These were "On Monday Next," "In the Narrow Place," and "East
Lynne" respectively.
Alpha Psi Omega sponsors these productions in conjunction with The Players. Grease
paint, late hours, and expensive costumes are characteristic of all productions. However,
TheMillsaps Players have yet to do a "hammy" show, and all students usually survive with-
out the expected ulcers, insanity, and mass rebellion. Through the sweat and strain of it
all Lance Goss manages, along with the others, to keep some amount of self-composure
and dignity.

THE
TH£S,ng^'Nact,on
Under the direction ofAlvin Jon King for the lasttime, the Singers
gave their usual good job to the college. Little needs to be said con-
cerning this group, for it manages to speak well for itself at all times.
The Singers is composed of the regular chapel choir and the tour
choir. Those in the tour choir represent the college at many engage-
ments during their Spring jaunt around the nation. The Chapel choir
proves to be a capable replacement for the globe-trotters during their
yearly explorations.
The Singers will miss the guidance and inspiration of "Pop" King.
His hard work at Millsaps will be remembered by all those who have
benefitted from it. We pay tribute to a man who has given unselfishly
of his time, effort, and patience to us. Millsaps will always be grate-
ful to him for his loyalty, friendship, and overall contribution.

LLSAPS SINGERS
Pictured below is the tour choir that will leave soon after this writing to enter-
tain and inspire people all across the nation. Their reputation is one that is well
earned and will be maintained this year as it has been in the past. Theirs is not a
vacation (as the new cut system would lead us to think) but a terrific job which re-
quires talent and hard work. We wish them the best of success.

BAND CONDUCTOR SAM L. JONES
Few colleges can boast of a band such as ours. The Mill-
saps band has many functions and performs each with much
vigor and interest .
The band performs on the stage as well as on the foot-
ball field. It would be a pity if the services of the band were
to end with football season, for Christmas and Spring con-
certs are calendar dates of high interest and enthusiasm on the
campus.
We owe much credit to the band for its spirit during foot-
ball season and its inspiration at all times. Sam Jones is to be
commended for his fine work, the results of which we look
forward to seeing again next year.

LLSAPS-WILSON LIBRARY
For many years the patrons and alumni of Millsaps College have worked earnestly and
unceasingly for a new library through which the students of Millsaps might have greater
opportunity to enrich their minds and improve culturally. Much unselfish work and planning
were necessary for progress in this direction.
On September 29, 1955, the doors of the beautiful new Millsaps -Wilson Library were
formally opened to the public and the college community. In an impressive ceremony this
building was dedicated to the furtherance of the Kingdom of God.
As students, we may show our gratitude by making full use of the facilities which have
been given to us by men and women who love Millsaps College and were willing to make
important sacrifices of time, energy, and money to make this gift possible. May we always
remember them as we enjoy their gift.
These next two pages tel I briefly the story of how the Millsaps-Wilson Library was completed
and dedicated. We pay tribute to those who first paid tribute to us.
t
:ll ^ i
■» Ill ||8
CHAPTER I: ABOVE- The plans are made by the administration and construction is begun.
Curious eyes view the progress and wonder what the final result will be. Many problems are
yettoarise, but the project is being handled by capable and intelligent men in whom much
confidence is placed . Mi I Isaps alumni are very generous in their efforts to make the program
a successful one.
CHAPTER II: BELOW- (LEFT)- Months later the idea has been transformed into action and
the framework of the new structure is a familiar and interesting sight on Methodist Hill.
Students soon learn to avoid fresh concrete and falling bricks.
CHAPTER III: BELOW- (RIGHT)- Early September sees students sharing in one of the many
jobs that still remain. There is great satisfaction in knowing that soon the transformation
from the old to the new will be complete.
CHAPTER IV: ABOVE- Students march to dedication ceremony where Dr. A.G. Sanders
delivers the main address. September 29 is an eventful day, as it is the sixty-third anni-
versary of the college and the first formal opening of the Mil Isaps -Wilson Library.
CHAPTER V: BELOW- Completion of the dream! Dr. H.E. Finger, President of Millsaps
College, greets the public to the inspection of the library. Meanwhile, the library staff
glances over some literature that is as new as the shelves where it will be placed.
CHAPTER VI: THE FUTURE- Our children and grandchildren will appreciate tomorrow that
which we have seen established today. May Millsaps College continue in her growth and
prosperity.

PURPOSE OF SOCIAL GROUPS
At first glance one might think of a social group as an organization that teaches
its members how to play bridge, dance, and enter a bull session with enthusiasm. We
can't deny that the finer arts of social living are learned and practiced.
However, in the hustle and bustle of college life there are the serious moments
we spend which will be remembered and relived over and over again. The social
groups teach young men and women to live together in a spirit of co-operation and
mutual understanding. It is their purpose to unite the ideas of youth into one great
melting pot, in which are found the plans for tomorrow. Hard work, contribution of
assorted talents, and self-improvement are all a part of the plan.
After four years of college life Millsaps Students are ready to meet the demands
of the world. This is not the result of what we learned in the classrooms a lone. Rather,
it is this plus the fine art of respecting the opinions and criticisms of others; of being
a part of something.

1955 MILLSAPS
In 1955, as has become customary, the Millsaps Major football squad gave an
excellent account of itself and wasa prime example of college football as played for
the sport of it. The group of footballers who gathered for the opening practices had
perhaps the highest potential of any Purple grid team of recent years, but a college
which participates in intercollegiate athletics on an amateur basis is usually weak
in reserves, even if it can field a top-notch starting line-up. With the limited sub-
stitution rule still in effect and a fine veteran eleven available for duty, the future
looked bright for the Major gridders. The year's first game, with William Carey at
Hattiesburg, gave the Majors the blow from which they never recovered- two key
players benched with injuries by half-time. The loss of Powell and Lowery was
directly responsible for this opening defeat. With the one experienced quarterback
out for the season, half-back "Crow" Parnell took over the all-important signal-
caller's position in the Split-T offense for the game with strong Delta State, Missis-
sippi's only perfect-record senior college team in '54. Despite a fine performance
by Parnell, the Purple team could not keep up in the scoring column although out-
playing the rugged Statesmen . Playing brilliantly one Saturday and sluggishly the
next, the Majors reached their peak in mid-season victories overSewanee and How-
ard and the heart-breaking loss to the Chocs. Coming to life in the final minutes of
i |
FOOTBALL TEAM
the Sewanee game, Mi 1 1 saps copped the triumph on a last-minute Parnell-to-Deaton
pass. Speedster Roy Wolfe sparked the easy win over Howard and the Majors rolled
into the Mississippi College game on the crest of a victory surge. For three quarters,
the game team in Purple shirts appeared well on its way to a decisive and hard-
earned victory. Fortune turned her head and the MC squad drew off to a lead that
not even a determined drive in the game's closing seconds could overcome. After a
dismal loss to Southwestern, the Majors rebounded to score an easy 34-6 victory over
Ouachita before a large Parent's Day crowd in the season finale.

an able right wingman, with his

outstanding. His sharp blockingand

of tackles during the '55 season.
Terry Moore-This fine junior

in the two previous campaigns by
becoming one of the Majors' most
reliable runners. A leader in yards

for return in 1956.

Pat Bonner-A capable wingman

important part in the success of the

"Red" Powell-A brilliant quarter-

first game was a blow from which the
'55 Majors never recovered. "Red" was
selected Most Valuable Player in 1954.

Coach Sammy Bartling and Coach
Erm Smith-This pair in '55, as the year

tative ball club. As ever, they got the
most from their material and were in-

Majors.
GOLF
The Millsaps Golf Team claims
only two lettermen for the 1956
season. With such lack of depth
there will appear some new faces
on the links for our team.
It is hoped that more matches
can be scheduled this year than
ever before. Competition will be
stiff, but the Majors plan to make
a marked improvement over the
records of the past few years.

Last year saw the Millsaps Net-

the underdog rating they were usu-

This year Millsaps has the good
fortune of retaining most of its
starting lineup from last year's fine
group of players. If the spirit is as
good this year there should be no
stopping place on the road to more
success.

There were times during the

seemed to be at a low ebb. How-

always gave their full support to
the team and tried to inspire others
to do the same . At every home
game, through rain or shine, the
Cheerleaders constantly showed
their faith in the Majors.
We salute the Cheerleaders for
a season of hard work. It would be
well worth our while to follow the
example they have set for us.

BASKETBALL
PARKS REACHES FOR THE TIP
The following pages fell the story of a team that lacked the ability to outscore
the opposition. In view of this fact, we say we had a losing team.
The story would not be an accurate one if it included a won-lost record. Per-
haps we did lose, but at many times during the season Coach Smith's boys were able
to convince us that winning was not always the only thing to consider. Their fight
and determination against several "professional" amateurs made us conscious of a
ACTION SHOTS
spirit that might not have existed with even a perfect record team. These boys de-
serve much credit for the many hours of practice they turned in while most of us were
catching our afternoon nap.
As for the future, we can only speculate. It is hoped that more materialwill be
available to the college in the form of capable players. However, there were many
talented players on the campus who did not give of their energy to the team. Mill-
saps will remain on an amateur basis and keep in there plugging away.

A WORD OF THANKS
At the end of such a task as the one we have completed there are many things we
like to recall . Deadlines, worry, sweat, and strain have been our motto through rain,
storm, and fair weather (which was a rare occasion on the campus). At the end of it
all we can muster up enough courage to say we enjoyed it, even amidst all the
accusations that we would break the Bank of Monte Carlo with our financial policies.
In this space I wish to thank personally the members of my staff who did such an
excellent job in helping this edition of the Bobashela to be a book the staff is proud
to claim. Claire King and Hiram Polk were able Assistant Editors, offering advice and
hardwork whenever it was needed. Oscar Dowdle and NenaDoiron dida remarkable
job of doing the long and controversial class sections. Ed Upton, Peggy Perry, and
Elwyn Addkison assembled the social pages with undying loyalty. Eddie Williams
and Foster Lowe were better than Bill Stern when it came to the sports pages. Jerre
Gee carried on a romantic correspondence course with Frankie Laine concerning- the
beautiful girls who were our beauty candidates and ultimate winners. Hal Miller,
with hisundeniable cynicism, cunningly drew up the clever snapshot pageswhich are
found between these covers. Bill Walker and Pat Warren knew the ropes when it came
to putting together a good activities section. And last, but not least, Albert "Scoop"
Williamson did a job on the photography that will be remembered and appreciated
for many years. As for my part, I had the privilege of working with this fine crew
and finding out for myself why ulcers are prevalent among editors,,
Finally, we wish to thank the Business Staff for their prompt job in securing the
ads for this section. Even though Burton Jackson screamed every time I added another
page of color and refused to foot the bill, I wouldn't have changed a thing. He and
his staff deserve much credit.
Our Faculty Advisor, Mr„ Lance Goss, was top notch. Even with all his other
activities he was a patient and sympathizing souL Many members of the student body
pitched in now and then to help us along the way. We appreciate the aid of all who
did a share in this book's production.
