Dr. Robert M. Mayo has now completed his second year in the president ' s position, and in it has shown to our institution a devotion to its students, an en- dearing love for education, a responsible leadership to an expanding campus, and a progressive outlook for the future. Seven years ago Dr. Mayo brought to Hinds an impressive record of accomplishments. Others of these have since materialized to lengthen that record. We at Hinds are proud and appreciative to have so benefited from this man, his leadership and love. W SMJ I 27

TftiA Jlot 4Ue t ? 4frfa d 43 Miss Lola Allen retired from the staff of Hinds Junior College in 1966, putting a new record in the books of the college. 1966 marked her 43rd year of association with the college, not to mention the distinction of serving under every president. Her first job on the Hinds Junior College campus was in the capacity as a student, serving under W. N. Taylor. She worked, too, in the business office under Presidents R. E. L. Southerland, G. J. Cain, G. M. McLendon, and Robert M. Mayo. Miss Allen was an institutional part of the Hinds business office, where she worked for 43 years. Known as the bookkeeper , and watcher over the college ' s money , Miss Allen dedicated her life to the College she believes in. Late hours were the expected and not the exception for Miss Allen, if the job needed to be done. For over four decades the money of the college was in good hands, the job was done well, and no sacrifice or work was too much for the dedicated public servant. Both Miss Allen and Mr. Mc- Kenzie were presented plaques, saluting them for their serv- ice to the college in the spring of 1966, too late for the 1966 EAGLE, thus this tribute is V, V 28
