As I think back over the school year, I feel a great sense of indebtedness both to the students and to the faculty and staff. The interest you have shown in the total programs of East Mississippi Junior College has been very helpful in making this a successful year. As students, Vocational-Technical and Academic, you have opened the doors in your chosen careers. I challenge you to pursue them with all the tenacity you possess. The decisions you make today will affect all your tomorrows. Apply the knowledge that you have gained, and seek more that you may be able to make the right decisions as individuals. Goals, motivations, and discipline are unique to each individual. Weigh each situation as to the advantage or disadvantage to you, keeping in mind that knowledge is a powerful tool. The present — don ' t waste it, and the future — prepare for it. My present association with you has been pleasant and rewarding. My future will be enriched by your accomplishments. It is with great sincerity that I wish you the best in the future years.
