'Q'- xl if Jiang, 1 ti .J Sally Reneau Annie Coleman Peyton Sally Reneau, Annie Coleman Peyton, and Olivia Hastings were dreamers. They lived in a time when educating women was deemed a useless endeavor and a shameful waste of legislative money. But they had a dream. They dreamed of a school where women could be trained and taught in many different areas so as to become more fulfilled as individuals and, thus, more valuable contributors to their community. These three brave women were much more than dreamers. They took their dream and worked diligently to make it a reality . . . The result of their devotion was the Industrial Institute and College. They may not have known it then, but those valiant women-and others who helped them-began a W tradition that has never died: dreaming a big dream and working hard to make it come true. The capacity to unite those two capabilities has become the mark of a true W student. After II8zC opened its doors to those first 341 women in 1885, the dreaming did not stop. Nor did the struggle to realize those dreams. This school has always had leaders who were believers . . . and fighters. One of the most remarkable leaders was a dominant little woman named Emma Ody Pohl. Miss Pohl made an indelible mark on this campus with her introduction of Zouave, a French military drill, and with her spirit of dedication. Though Zouave faded from school history for a time, it has been revived as a W tradition which pays tribute to an outstanding woman who was a keeper of the dream.

H ffgci, i n , ,,, :it The blue-clad students who were the result of the dream were also keepers of the dream. One of their battles was won in 1920 when II8zC changed its name to Mississippi State College for Women. The change in its name showed not only that this institution was not a detention center, but italso indicated more clearly the purpose of the school-to encourage women to dream big dreams and to devote themselves to making them come true.

In addition to being political and social activists and dedicated scholars, the dream-keepers were creative and fun-loving girls. They formed clubs and organizations to meet the interests of every girl, from literary societies to athletic teams and from academic honoraries to social clubs. Many of these traditional organizations are still active on campus today. Qs f-T JP, is lil El' 'E av fx it J' M 'K ,Q QJKKZS if? The uniforms may have changed from blue dresses to blue jeans, but the ideals remain the same. Sharing the common bond of individuals seeking ways to discover and express their own personalities, the faces of the past and present may have merged together . . . for faces sometimes do in dreams. Religious organizations, such as MUW Ecumenical are active on campus. X gi l aff ' . 5, -4 i , Freshmen Sue Iohnson and Tina Young break the curse of the Old Maid s Gate by kissing the Kissing Rock. Besides beginning multi- dimensional structured activities? W girls were also ingenious about inventing quaint customs. No other school could boast of such novelties as the Old Maid's Gate-which one must enter backwards if one wished to avoid its curse-or the Kissing Rock, which could be kissed to break the curse of the Old Maid's Gate if one forgot. Only at The W would girls throw kisses and pennies at the owl atop Orr Chapel, to bring them luck on exams. Only here would girls stand under the Ginko Tree waiting for one of its leaves to fall on them, hoping that one was simultaneously falling on a handsome man under its sister tree at Mississippi State, for this would destine them to be married.

All of these traditions are special because, though they have continued through the years, they take on a new significance for every person who experiences them. 0 The Corettas provide spirit at a Blues game. Lori Grisham and Karen Collins participate in Interclub March. When MSCW became Mississippi University for Women in 1974, The W had made yet another advance in the broadening of the dream. Much of the school that earlier students had known was changed and continued to change. New buildings were erected and old ones renovated. Men were admitted as students. Faculty came and left. Enrollment fluctuated. But through it all, The W dream stood tall. The face of the Callway clock tower told of the continuous passing of time, but still the spirit of The W remained unchanged. Still were heard the words of familiar songs, still Mary the Ghost roamed the fourth floor of Callaway, still the freshmen serenaded the upperclassmen, still the sophomores were sold as slaves, still the juniors mocked the seniors on Stunt Night, still the seniors were hailed in the cafete- r1a, Mary lo Madison and Dolan Shoemaker I 3 pl' X gf , . i','lf' Nami 55 a Q .1- H Yi is ,, max V .ss .

The paradox is this: the format, regulations, admissions and physical campus have altered with the times, but the atmosphere of leadership, personal growth and friendship has remained constant. MUW is not an anachronism, as some might suggest. Marilyn Bullock N si kms 'H-2 -- Q,i,3 i 5 is i. Q 51 N wir, It is a living, breathing, growing body of students who hold on to the dreams of those who have paved the way for them. When a student graduates from MUW, she carries into the world much more than just a diploma: she takes with her a dream. lust as this institution was founded on a dream, so has the dream Q been picked up and carried-like so many linked magnolias-by those who passed this way. The dream of an excellent educational opportunity which sparked the blazing fire that is now the Mississippi University for Women is ours to keep burning. Without perpetual kindling, a dream-like a fire-can die. We cannot idly sit back and watch the dream of a century be extinguished. We must keep dreaming and keep working hard to fulfill our dreams. We are not the first to be here. We will not be the last-. We have been y entrusted with a century-old treasure. It is our responsibility to ensure and to protect it for the future. We are the dreamers and the dream. We are such stuff as dreams are made on . . .

Students interested in business and economics may major in one of these two areas: llj accounting or 121 business administration. The business administration major may have a concentration in either general business, computer information systems or office administration. A major in paralegal studies is available after consultation with the program director. Minors may also be obtained in business, economics, computer informations systems and merchandising. The common objective of the division is to require all majors to acquire a common knowledge concerning business. Students majoring in business may become members of Phi Beta Lambda, the national business honorary fraternity. Phi Beta Lambda is sponsored by Ms. Ioyce Hunt. An accounting honorary is sponsored by Wanda Spruill and Lynn Gumfory. The Student Advisory Committee, sponsored by Dr. Pounds and Dr. Spruill, is composed of outstanding business majors. This division also began an alumnae newsletter last year. It has now become a yearly publication. Business Week is another activity sponsored by the division. This week is usually held during june and high school juniors and seniors from Mississippi visit The W campus. While here they are involved in programs that introduce them to basic parts of the business world. , ., , Wag. 3 . 2 I t --Q rl FISHING LURES SMITH For almost two years O. Wendell Smith has been After finding the lures, the task of identification searching out the antiques of the fishing lure industry. With a collection numbering 400, he also fishes out a few old antique rods and reels to treasure. Dr. Smith, executive director of the Center for Private Enterprise and professor at MUW, has a busy schedule, but every once in a while he finds time to go fishing. A member of the National Fishing Lures Collectors Club, Smith is serious about his hobby. He conveys the story of his beginnings as a fishing lure collector with a fine yarn. I was fishing with my brother one day when he pulled out an old fishing lure. He told me of the new interest in old fishing lures. He said that I Could probably find one in my old tackle box. When I returned home I looked through some old fishing equipment and found a few old lures . . . Smith says that he doesn't really look for the lures by going on trips to specifically hunt them down. I find most of my lures by word of mouth, friends and relatives. is the next step. The lures are identified by age primarily. Smith has found lures which date back into the 1800's. Identification is aided by the knowledge of experts who will identify the lures for collectors after receiving pictures and correspondence from them. I've found that most experts will identify the lures and return an answer in a short period of time. For the past two years, Smith and his brother have competed in the Magic City Kiwanis Club Bass Tournament in Alabama. Leaning back in his chair, with arms entwined behind his head, Smith talks of his hobby with a voice of contagion. As if to say, Let me tell you about my fishing lures . . . Perhaps the tie is too uncomfortable and the hands are too rugged for the administrator behind his desk, but this good old boy is a man with a head for business and the hands for the casting of line from a reel. -Elizabeth Pegues ACADEMICS Columbus the city that has nurtured MUW for a century and its citizens are charting a promising new path 1nto the highly computerized second century of the university In an age demandlng computer literacy ID the workforce the Chamber of Commerce IS leading a community wide drive to obtain 18 computers for The W as a centennlal year birthday present The computers will form the MUW Columbus Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce Computer Teachlng Laboratory President lames W Strobel sa1d he was overwhelmed at the community s getting together to make this mayor contrlbutlon He added that the lab IS so relatlve to the future of our university and he colned the term communlverslty in describing the community s lnterest ln the unlverslty and the importance of the 1 A renovated section of the Computer Center w1ll house the 360,000 computer lab The date the computers will be lnstalled has not been set.

What they should try to hire are the gems-the good students who have a book learning common sense and a professional attitude and approach Our b8SlC product at MUW is going to be the 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 9 O I 0 I I 1 1 1 1 1 97 1 1 1 1 1 1 H1 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 H 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 U ' 97 ' 1 H 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . - 1 1 1 H 1 1 1 ACADEMICS COMMUNICATIONS FACULTY person who can get his or her degree on Saturday and go to work in a newspaper plant or in print journalism the next Monday and be good at it. That takes dedication on the student's part and the faculty's part . . . Practical teaching tools-the student newspaper and internships in the summer with newspapers in the state, for example-must be used to the fullest, said Sorrels, the first to hold the Harriet S. Gibbons Chair of journalism at MUW. The newspapers have been very cooperative. They're really doing a fine job, he said. Part of my work is to meet and talk with editors and publishers around the state to tell them the value of competent, professional newsmen coming out of our school and to work with them on supplying top graduates. And they will recognize this and compensate them on a desirable level to help keep them in the state. To strengthen communication between MUW and the state's media, the Division of Communications has created The W's first journalism Advisory Council, made up of top professionals in the state. The 10-member group represents print, broadcasting, public relations and advertising. Sorrels believes journalism students benefit greatly from interchange with the professional who has made it in the marketplace. journalism schools and departments, he feels need this professional interchange and they need to get away from a strictly academic approach to teaching journalism students. Sorrels is very optimistic about what journalism schools and departments can do. In looking back over his own career, he said he owes much of his success to what he learned at the University of Missouri in the 1940's. He was an honor graduate with a bachelor of journalism degree in editorial- news sequence. He also has an M.A. from Memphis State University. The world has changed a great deal since the '40s and certainly is much more electronic, but the principles of good newspapering are just the same today as they were, said the MUW professor. Sorrels, winner of dozens of writing and editing awards, including a Pulitzer Prize nomination, has been back in journalism education only one year. He had taught at Indiana State University and at Memphis State. But even in this small department here at MUW, I've seen a lot of bright young people. I think that journalism schools and departments shouldn't consider themselves second- class citizens in this whole academic structure. We should be shooting for the same bright minds that all the other schools are . . . and I think in large part we're doing that. Sorrels believes the rewards in journalism are out there for those who can perform and who can do the job, but the teachers here, at Ole Miss, at Southern or wherever have got to see that the students have the skills to compete. And that, he stressed, goes back to the basic, core courses. I think every college course you can take is of value. But if you are going to be a reporter you'd better know the basic skills and have the imagination to put them to use effectively, he advised. I'm optimistic, not pessimistic, about what we can achieve and accomplish in journalism schools.' A journalism depatment is not a trade school, Sorrels said. The practical work that students get on the Spectator, campus newspaper, or other student publications is the same thing that a botany or biology student gets in a lab. Some people holler that journalism is not a profession but a skill that can be taught in a factory Not so said Sorrels Sorrels is also optimistic about the future of the profession As an old newspaper person its pleasing to see that there are some brlght young students who are preparing to take the place of a lot of good people who are working now he said American journalism despite the cracks and faults you see here and there has improved tremendously since I first entered it in the 19405 personal writing level and so forth We bemoan the person who spells cloudy clowdy and comes from a great university but really the pool of student is improving every year and probably will continue to do so The burden IS on the profession to make the pay attractive Sorrels said newspapers should strive to get the best and pay them good wages and we ll all benefit the public will beneflt Thats one group you dont want to shortchange f!

Yow has its hum of activities centered around the first floor of Martin Hall. It is here that students who desire to become teachers of any level spend many laborious hours. They prepare teacher files, learn about organization, and how to prepare lessons. Their hard work is not in vain, though. Because no matter what program they are in, either Graduate or Undergraduate, they can be assured of its high quality. Both of these programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Providing the best preparation for teaching in the state and across the nation is a high priority for the members of the Education Division. Students are exposed to programs that provide experience for the prospective teachers. It is the objective of the department to develop in each student the philosophy of education, leadership, organization and responsible judgement. These practical experiences for students are acquired right here on campus in the University Nursery School, Kindergarten, Center for Infants and Parents, Center for Special Children. The prospective teachers may also observe and participate in off-campus schools in Columbus and throughout the state. There are several organizations open to Education majors. The Student Mississippi Association of Educators here at the W is sponsored by Dr. Hodges. Dr. Hunt sponsors the Council for Exceptional Children and Dr. Pounds is the sponsor of the national honorary, KDE. Uhm, Uhm, Good!

In the area of art, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree may be obtained with a major in Fine Arts with concentrations in drawing and painting, printmaking, three-dimensional design, art history, interior design, art education and commercial art. Art Student's League is a special interest group for this area and Kappa Pi is the national honorary fraternity for art. Miss Iozia Mieszkowski is instructor and director of the dance area. Each semester she presents a performance featuring members of the Ballet Company. Much of the performances are choreographed by Miss Iozia. The degree programs in the area of music are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. They are a Bachelor of Arts with a major in music or musicfbusinessg a Bachelor of Music in Music Education, either vocal or keyboardg a Bachelor of Music in Performance, voice or keyboard. The national honorary for music is Sigma Alpha Iota. Certain interest groups radiating from the music area are the MUW-Columbus Symphony conducted by Dr. William Graves, faculty recitals, the Meh Ladies, Stage Band, MUW-Columbus Chorale and Concert Choir. The MUW-Columbus Symphony gives four concerts per year. The Meh Ladies are a contemporary pop group that travels to area high schools with the purpose of recruiting. There are four recitals given by faculty a year. And the Concert Choir gives a Christmas Vesper presentation each year in Carrier Chapel. A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a major in Fine Arts and a concentration in Theater Art is obtainable in the area of theater. This department gives a major theater production and children's play each semester. There are also occasional Second Stage plays presented in the Little Theater by members of the directing class. The Theater Guild is the special interest group in this area and the national honorary is Alpha Psi Omega. john Maxwell, writer-in-residence has added a special feature to the theater department. While his purpose was to research The W and write a centennial pageant, he has also instructed classes in the department. And, this summer he and Dr. Greg Miller travelled abroad representing the W. FINE AND PERFORMING ARTS FACULTY IOZIA'S sToRY A conversation with Iozia Mieszkowski is like a step in to the spotlight with a prima ballerina. Punctuating each sentence with a smile, the energetic MUW dance instructor radiates enthusiasm about life and her deepest love-ballet. I love ballet, she said. It just cleanses my soul. There's something extraordinary about it. It's the best therapy for me. Miss Iozia Ipronounced U- shul as she is known by students, first discovered dance when she was 11 years old in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. An actress appearing in a local play visited the Mieszkowski home for dinner one evening. When the guest asked, What do you do, little girl? Miss Iozia spunkily replied, Dance! Her mother, a bit surprised by the comment, took the advice of the visitor and enrolled her daughter in dance class. That actress' inspiration is what Miss Iozia considers the spark that ignited her dancing career. While under the instruction of Barbara Wiesberger, founder of the Pennsylvania Ballet, the spark grew into a flame. By the time she was 16, Miss Iozia was rehearsing four times a week at Wilkes-Barre Ballet Theater and taking lead roles alongside the male dancers recruited by her instructor. It was so exciting, she said, with a gleam in her eye. I got crushes on them all. Not long after she began to get serious about dancing, Miss Iozia was smitten by the desire to study in New York. It was during her first summer in the Big Apple that she experienced one of the most thrilling events of her career. She was among a large number of girls studying under Madame Pereyslavec, an old Russian dancer. Every day during floor work Madame Pereyslavec would arrange the students according to their ability. Miss Iozia said she began the session so far in the back of the room that the instructor could not see her. During their last two weeks, however she found herself in the very front. She said that it was that point that decided ACADEMICS 'Nt E tg so . 5 ,: Ffa. it I 'x .ti tv 5 , . . - Vulgi iw -la At 19 she moved to New York to pursue her dream She supported herself by working for an airline while taking classes and auditioning for parts.

I had a good ballet name, a good face, arms and one good foot. I feel that I was intelligent enough to realize that. I was good but I didn't have it. There are still dancers who are hitting their heads against walls. With the same fire in her eyes and determination in her heart, Miss lozia returned home to teach at the invitation of her former instructor, Barbara Weisberger, owner of the Wilkes-Barre Ballet Theater. Miss Iozia took over management of the school when Weisberger left to found the Pennsylvania Ballet. In 1966, Miss Iozia bought the school. Some people go on trying to be stars, but I found my niche, she said. During her years of teaching in Wilkes-Barre, Miss Iozia trained students from age six. She is especially proud of the 10 who have become professionals. I had a lovely school and a lovely company. It was awesome. But it got to a point where I said something had to go. I was married to my career. her career. A In order to have a bit of a change, Miss Iozia took a leave of absence from the school and travelled south to Iackson, MS, for a year of work with the Mississippi Ballet Theater. I fell in love with jackson, she said. I had no idea-it was instant like. It was during that year 11978-19791 that the city was hosting the first International Ballet Competition. It was also during that year that Miss Iozia heard of the W. She worked with W student Brenda Brignac in Iackson. Later that year she recognized the name of the school in an ad for a dance director. In 1980, after inquiring about the ad and visiting the campus, Miss Iozia accepted the position, sold the Wilkes- Barre Ballet Theatre and moved south. She brought a vivacious spirit to the W. One of her first projects was to initiate a fine arts day- camp for children ages 6 to 13. A full dance major curriculum was also established. For the last few years the MUW Dance Company has performed excerts from the Nutcracker, a first for the Columbus area. I'm very happy with what I've produced in dancers and talent so far. The university has been wonderful. I couldn't be luckier. The whole atmosphere is love.

ACADEMICS DI ISIO OF URSI There are three degree programs in the Division of Nursing, headed by Dr. A. Barrar. They are an Associate of Science Degree IADI, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing fBSNl, and the Master of Science in Nursing IMSNI. The Associate Degree Program is a two year one that prepares students to become semi-professional nurses. Students take general courses as well as nursing courses. Upon completion of the program, the Associate degree-holder is recommended for the State Board of Nursing licensure. If this examination is passed, the student is then able to start the RN lor Registered Nursel Program. In the Baccalaureate Degree Program, students are involved in four years of general studies and nursing studies. After completion of the program they too are recommended to take the examination for licensure. Once graduated from this program a student is ready for professional nursing positions or graduate school. All three degree programs hold accreditation from the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning and the National League for Nursing. Nursing students gain experience in their field through check-offs and clinicals. Their courses are taught on The W campus in Taylor Hall, but many students find themselves at Golden Triangle Medical Center, Columbus Hospital, Lowndes County Health Department, as well as several other hospitals and similar institutions. One organization in the division is the Student Nurse Association sponsored by Hilda Brown and Ann Peyman. The national nursing honorary is Sigma Theta Tau. AD PROGRAM FACULTY in MSN PROGRAM FACULTY WHAT IT TAKES Though they are seldom seen, they flock to The W like birds flying south for the winter. Some 310 students are enrolled in The W's nursing programs that are accredited by the Board of Trustees for Institutions of Higher Learning and the National League of Nursing. With that many students in the same major, you would think they would be easy to spot. Not exactly. The best place to look for them is, of course, Taylor Hall. They spend many hours in lectures about how to do things right and what happens to them when they do them wrong. Another good place is the library. They are either studying or tangled up in microfilm. For dorm students, nursing majors are the ones that stay in the dorm every night to study and do paper work. Occasionally, they come out for air. Many are involved in other activities, but they know nursing is serious business. Often they are up at the crack of dawn for a day of clinical. If you are just around campus and would like to know who is a nursing major, beware of students with stethescopes around their neck, a grin on their face, and a needle behind their back. They may need to practice for a check-off. Another sure way of spotting a nursing major is to look for someone carrying extremely large books. And they are probably complaining about the cost of the books. lThey really have something to complain about.j Though you may not see them often, these people do exist. They are warm-hearted and strong. And they are serious about their major. After all, it's not just a job for them, it's a way of life. -Sandi johnson ACADEMICS X v' K ff .

PRCJFILE GF A BIGLUCY PRCFESSCR Iohn is a worrier. It isn't that he's unhappy, at least not about the things most of us worry about: Will this mustard come out of my Polo? Do we have to know this for the test? Iohn Davis-biologist, teacher, grandfather- worries just like he teaches-in a big way. A bit of a contradiction, perhaps, but Davis is elated that he can spend his time studying the way the natural world works. Don't tell anybody, he says, a smile on his face as broad as the grin on a schoolboy playing hookey, but this is the fun thing to do. It is the fun things that have led to his worries. Davis teaches at MUW but his worries range the world: the danger in eating underwashed lettuce, the havoc acid rain is causing European cathedrals and statues, overpopulation in Central America, and newspapers that look like television sets. But not to worry. There's another side. Worry can pay off, Davis says. For example, American surface waters are cleaner than they were 10 years ago, and we're about to get the lead out of our gasoline all together, thereby protecting the brains of our children. All of this is a lot of trouble and expense and we wouldn't do it if we didn't worry about some things. Then hear this: As a biologist, I am awed at how enormously successful the human race has been at bettering its ot. He points to control of diseases and longer, more healthful life spans. But the mind of the man is so diverse that he worries that too much of man's energies are directed to tribal idiocy such as the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, where Russians are not nice people . . . they are a bunch of stupid, klutzy, dumb, public relations- less paranoids. And we seem to be off on a macho binge! He worries, too because he thinks our world is going straight as a string toward some kind of climactic explosion. Iohn Davis, a reader, an insatiable reader, knows that Socrates said, Better an unhappy man than a happy Dis- ACADEMICS Davis doesn't just talk off the top of his head. An obsessive reader of newspapers the reads at least four every dayj, he's not without strong opinion concerning journalism in America and where it's headed. Whenever I go to a supermarket, I always guiltily look at the tabloids, over there with the chocolate bars and the razor blades, mostly because they're where most folks get their information about the natural sciences. I've always thought the tabloids are the essence of journalism. That is, presenting events in a zingy way which connects with certain cultural obsessions. I think it's a great mistake to think of newspapers as bearers of truth. They're a part of the inevitable jungle telegraph of human communication. Rupert Murdock fthe Australian publishing giantl understands the dark night of the soul . . . our preoccupation with celebraties, sex, and weirdness. Davis thinks that newspapers are infinitely superior to television, however, and popularity of USA Today horrifies him. I fear USA Today with its ghastly colors, blandness and brevity are the way they fAmerican newspapersl may go. It's a hateful thing. I wouldn't wrap fish in it. Probably Davis' biggest concern is for his grandchildren-two little boys who are already biologists. I fully realize the utility of being a biologist when I have to entertain my grandchildren. Daniel is four and wants to be a dinosaur when he grows up, and Adam is one and a half and is passionately fond of leaves just now. They're both true biologists. Everyone's a biologist until they're 10 years old. You're short enough to see all the little lives in the grass and be interested in them, and not so bigoted that you think people are everything. A biologist can entertain children better than anybody else. They are not bad with adults, either. -Paula Wilkerson SPARE TIME f g 72 5 1 I E . i , 2 if X 5 Q K'-4 'J 9- 'JPQP as 1 7 1 ACADEMICS .-I -1u1P'D r X!

Strobel to honor persons who have made notable contributions to the advancement of Mississippi University for Women. The Medal reflects the 100-year record of the University and forecasts an even brighter future as MUW prepares to enter its second century of excellence. I The copper medallion, an original design, bears the images of four women who portrayed vital roles in the chartering and development of the Mississippi Industrial Institute and College. They are Sallie Eola Reneau of Sardis, Annie Coleman Peyton of Hazelhurst, Olivia Valentine Hastings of Port Gibson and Emma Ody Pohl of Greenville, creator of many of the school's most cherished traditions during her 50 years of service to II8zC and MSCW. It was to be expected that others would grasp the torch from these pioneers in education and lead MUW toward another century of Progress. Three modern-day champions of the University were honored at the first annual awarding of the Medal Of Excellence in 1979, and three outstanding alumnae who have made outstanding contributions to their country and to mankind were honored in 1981.

Of all the experiences I have had at MUW these past two years, none of them quite equals a conversation with an elderly lady who once went to school here. We were sitting on the back porch sipping lemonade talking about people we knew in common ja Mississippi heritagej when the conversation got around to The W. She stopped, got up, looked in all the rooms adjoining and even walked outside in the backyard. On her return she explained, 'Tm sorry, but I have to be careful. We're not talking about just anybody now. We're talking about family. I tried to explain to a friend of mine recently what she meant and had to conclude, You just have to BE there Family is a word that is not spoken in Mississippi jewel, but its heart, none-the-less. Written by as a theater piece, Mississippi jewel, is molded from obser- vations, histories, old Spectators and Mah Ladies. Most of the dialogue is the results of a writer's pen, but it is based on fact. All of the poetry is original, written by past students at II8zC, or MSCW, or MUW. I do hope you enjoy this performance Sandy and I have had some very rich times here, and we will never forget them. The frustrating thing about moving back to jackson is that someone will ask me why I love The W so much, and all I'll be able to say is, you just have to BE there. Well, we've loved being here and, for a while at least, being family. 7 :A ,, . -U, f ' j ' - .:, ,42,4gfj.f:,. Cf cf' ' I' 2 wi I Q.sEgs1Ye.?s1 t 'C R its ia 'W . A3 fx 'if ' is 'jj P 1 l - . M .

A lifetime can be found within the pages of this yearbook. Memories of times spent at II8zC, MSCW or MUW are here. Some things have changed, but that special inner quality shared by all those who have passed through here is still alive. By choosing such a theme, the MEI-I LADY staff hoped to wrap up the 100 years of our free-standing university in one book. I hope you enjoy this yearbook. Although I often complained, I really enjoyed putting together this another piece of MUW's history. I am also thankful for the great learning experience this has been. Some things went wrong, but we all learned from our mistakes. I hope each person realizes that this is YOUR yearbook. It can only be as good as YOU make it. So if you do not like it, do something about it-join the staff or support them in some way. This year's staff was small, but worked very hard. I would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication. Special thanks to Lise Rochet and Lori Wilcox for lending a helping hand at deadline, and the Public Relations Staff for their patience with me in needing help all the time. I could not forget the help of my roommate and Business Manager, Pam Wooldridge. She not only listened to my many complaints, but she could read a monthly budget printout. I will be eternally grateful for the help of one special person, my real-life, little sister-Sue. She did more than her share of work on this book. She also put up with me. I would also like to thank my 10 special friends for their support. In closing I would like to challenge each of you to take that small flame that is now a part of you and keep it burning, for the tradition must continue. 1985 MEH LADY STAFF Sandi Iohnson, Editor Pamela Wooldridge, Business Manager K Sue lohnson, Opening Section Tina Iohns, Honors Section , 'L' X Dorinda Folse, Academics Section x Pattye Archer, Sports and Events if 'N Sections ' . 0 Margie Szczepanski, Organizations v ...
