This is a book about a school: a remembering of yesterday, a seeing of the present, a looking forward to tomorrow. Forty-four years ago there was no school: only the rolling, tree-studded hills — that, and a dream of a pro- gressive educational institution which would someday take its place among the nation ' s outstanding colleges. Forty- four historical years have passed and that dream has be- come a reality. Hinds Junior College has had four outstanding presi- dents, W. N. Taylor, R. E. L. Southerland, G. J. Cain and G. M. McLendon. But the past twenty-four years have be- come known as the McLendon era, the years of constant progress, of a campus jarred with the movement of con- struction and changing of scenes. Under the McLendon administration the old has been replaced by the new. The campus has grown from an original few buildings to more than thirty, and construc- tion is now undergoing a remarkably rapid pace. It is for these reason that the 1962 EAGLE respect- fully dedicates this forty-fourth anniversary edition to President George M. McLendon, a foresighted chief execu- tive whose administration represents an unending caval- cade of great teachers, great visions, and great realizations.
