M.P. was one of the "Big 4", as they called themselves. They were great friends from Hildebran High School, who played on the baseball team, and graduated together in 1924.
The infamous "Big 4" were:
M.P. Bridges (1906 - 1991 )
Arthur Vanhorn (1904 - 1933 )
James Mosteller (1906 - 1999 )
Dan Abernethy (1906 - 1962 )
Marion Posey Bridges was originally born as Posey Theo Bridges. But not liking the name Theo, he later changed his name to Marion Posey Bridges.
The "name change" happened sometime after his graduating high School in 1924, and before the time of his marriage to Mattie in 1931.
(He is "Posey Theo" Bridges, as listed on his 1924 High School Diploma)
Not a finer man has stepped foot in Hildebran.
