For this humble man. who "never had any money or wanted any," has done much for the youngsters here, although his health is poor and he is able to work only three days a week.
 lt was not enough for him to to expend his energies on his 26 grandchildren, 50 12 years ago he started a campaign to bring Santa Claus to children in institutions and elsewhere. Not only has he gven Christmas parties at the usual time of the year. but he has promoted them in the summer tiule.

Sister Follows
Sister In Winning
Jackson College
Top Honors

When President Jacob L. Red
dix of Jackson State College pre-
sented the two top-ranking stu
dents in the 1858 graduating class
Monday, May 26, there was a ia
miliar ring in his voice as he an
nounced the valedictorian. The ia
miliar ring was in the name STEM
mis-. "This years top honor stu
dent" said the President, SIS Miss
Shirley Stennis, graduate of the
Marion County Training School"
Exactly one year ago it was Shir-
ley's older sister, Mrs. Ruth STEM
mis- Williams, also a graduate of
the Marion County Training
School, who had won the coveted
title. Majoring in science and
mathematics, Mrs. Williams COM
piled an honor point average of
2.44. Sister Shirley, an elementary
education major, duplicated her
sisters fete by also compiling an
honor point average of 2.44. The
academic twins were also valedic-
torians of their high school classes
Ruth in 1853 and Shirley in 1854
Both were members of the dra-
MATES club, the New Homemakers
of America, and the Tri-Hi-Y dur
ing their high school days. Shirley
extended her activities to include
the schools dance troupe. These
two young ladies entered Jackson
State College on scholarships.
Shirley entered in 1854 on a music
scholarship while Ruth entered in
1898 on an academic scholarship
from the College and a second
scholarship which came from the
Mississippi Federated Club for
winning first place in a Statewide
oratorical contest. Ruth and Shir-
ley appeared on the Deans List
each quarter since their matricula-
ton. They received additional
scholarships for academic excel
lence during their college careers.
Because of high academic ratings.
both became members of Kappa
Phi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Mu
Honor Society and were selected
to who's Who Among Students
in American Colleges and Univer-
sites" Both held positions with
the Blue And White Flash and the
Jacksonian staffs at one time and
were initiated into Gamma Rho
Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority. 1t appears that the state
of affairs with the Stennis' is fine
accidentally as one can see from
the records of these young women
who perhaps for the first time
garnered valedictory honors for the
same family. They are the daugh-
tiers of Mrs. Odessa B. Odom Of
Columbia and Mr.. R. B. Stennis of
Pontotoc.

Jarvis honors
Businessman And
Religious Leader

At Commencement exercises
Sunday, May %, DR.. Cleo w. Black
burn, president of Jarvis Christian
College, conferred the honorary de-
grees of Doctor of Humane Letters
and Doctor of Divinity upon Mr..
kleber V. Lipscomb, Dallas bust
nessman and the Reverend Mr.. En-
nett ]. Dickson, Executive Secre-
tary of the National Christian Mis-
sionary Convention, respectively.
Mr.. Lipscomb is a native of the
state of Tennessee. He came to
Texas in his early years and be-
came a business associate and
leader in the Tennessee Diaries of
Dallas, Texas, where he served as
vice-president and treasurer. He
was an early president of the Milk
Dealers Association. For forty
five years, he has been an active,
participating member and leader
in the East Dallas Christian
Church, serving as deacon, elder,
Chairman of the General Board,
and a trustee.
Two of his more significant con-
tributions in the long line of Chris
tian service have been felt through
his devoted service as a member
of the Board of Juliette Fowler
Homes, beginning in 1912, and of
the Jarvis Christian College Board
of Trustees, which Board he helped
to organize in 1926-1927. On the
latter, he has had a distinguished
career of service as an interested
member, as its chairman, and as
its secretary-treasurer, in which
position he still serves.

Planning Council, the Disciples
Council of Agencies, and the Dis
ciples' Conference Board on Pol
icy and Strategy in Social We'll

New Ministerial
Training Program
At hampton
Theological
Seminary

Ministers and Laymen alike in
the 9Th Episcopal District are
thrilled at the prospect of the new
Theological Education program de-
veloped at the recent meeting of
the Trustee Board at Campbell Col
lege Commencement - partly be-
cause of the extremely limited OPP
portunities which have been avail
able in general Education here and
because of the predominantly rural
nature of our area most of the pas
tors of our churches have not had
full opportunity for formal school
training for the ministry.
Under the Deanship of the in
trepid Veteran of many battles, the
inimitable old Roman, DR.. John J.
Morant, the Edward w. Hampton
Theological Seminary has sought
to meet this situation with it's
offering of the traditional classical
Theological Seminary Course, and
some fine products have been de-
veloped.
During the past year, however,
our Seminary dropped to it's lowest
ebb. The Presidents report shows
that not single pupil was regu-
larly enrolled in the Seminary. Our
committee faced this situation
squarely. AS result of our de-
liberation and recommendation the
Board voted for a thorough re-
organization and new orientation
of the Seminary.
During the coming year a COM
mittee is to study and re-write the
entire curriculum of the school,
placing its emphasis on the prac-
teal task of the preacher-rather
than the classical lore.
A program of recruitment for
candidates of the ministry will
open in every church with empha-
sis upon graduates of the senior
high school. A search for fresh
Institutional talent for the faculty
is under way
We have found our Bishop, Ri.
Rev. Frederick D. Jordan entirely
in accord with this undertaking.
His experience as the organizer of
the school of Religion at Western
University is a great help to US
at this time. Within a relatively
short period; the churches of the
9th Episcopal District look forward
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1958-06-07

to greatly improve the ministers of
the E. w. Hampton School.
Here, at Friendship, Clarksdale,
the entire congregation is cooper
ating wholeheartily. We are ex-
tending ourselves to give full sup
port to every endeavor to every ad-
vancement to African Methodism
in this area.
