' tatcoH €d SenwOHtt l etcne 70. M. TfWKet e t 7 32 Senoice W. M. McKenzie, who joined the faculty of Hinds Junior College in July of 1930, retired in 1966 after giving the better 32 years of his life to the college. Known as Prof to many hundreds of students over the years, he served under four presidents of the college. When he first came to HJC, the faculty consisted of 18 and the total enrollment was 350. Upon his introduction to Hinds, he was also responsible for the maintenance of the main buildings on campus. In 1944 he left Hinds to become principal of the Raymond Consolidated school for four years before returning to Hinds. Typical of his dedication can be seen in his words today. Hinds has been my home, my way of life, and I have had great satisfaction from seeing many students achieve great goals in life. He failed to mention how many students have passed this way, and followed his example; how many have looked upon him with admiration; and how many students have left Hinds with a remembrance of a man who meant more than a little to them while a student at Hinds. given to them by this year ' s yearbook staff, who hope in some small ' way to recognize their years of dedication to Hinds. 29

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
