I am indeed proud of your recognitions and your ac- complishments, and I am deeply grateful for my enriching association with you. As you look back upon your college days at this institution, you are, I am sure, aware of the fact that you might have worked harder to gain other achievements. But of greater importance is the realization that you have, I feel, learned, with a profound degree of insight and of maturity, to think for yourselves, to accept the inevitable responsibilities which have been and which will continue to be thrust upon you. The character and the reputation of the East Mississippi Junior College are, as you know, molded and established largely by your actions and, as citizens, by your contributions to our ever-changing " One World. " Let us, therefore, seriously meditate upon our im- portant roles in life; and let us strive to do, and do well, that which will bring honor to ourselves, to our alma mater, to our country, and to our fellow man. When this kind of thinking and acting becomes habitually a part of us, then personal remuneration and self-satisfaction will follow, as does the dawn upon the night; and we shall, in turn, be happier and more successful individuals. My best wishes go with you. Yours sincerely, R. A. Harbour ■ ::€■%• • To one who has an intense personal interest in her students a warm friendliness and a true sense of humor the patience and consideration to explain an unwavering concern for student problems To one who is an excellent teacher a source of inspiration a loyal supporter of East Mississippi Junior College a wise counsellor To one who has the desire to impart ideals and ambitions to her students We, the 1961 Staff of the East Mississippi Junior College LION, dedicate this annual to MRS. HETTIE PRICE. ■ ' i s Beatrice Ross Carol Bridges Jim Cockerham Joann George Working long hours — late into the night — the Lion staff presents this volume to the students of East Mississippi Junior College. We hope as you look through it you will find many things that interest, amuse, and in later years, call back the fond memories of your Alma Mater.

Phi Theta Kappa is a recognized honorary society whose object is to promote character and to cultivate fellowship among students in the junior colleges of the United States. Election to PTK places a particular stamp of merit upon the student, for after he has passed the academic hurdle he still must pass a faculty committee which judges him on character.

After that the staff members can do nothing but compose their souls in quiet- ness until another LION arrives on campus. 103 YEARBOOKS TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY " The World ' s Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made " ■ H • ■
