Principal? Messa e If il 1 F4 . ll ll !,fK',1 xxx X ' ' s xx xx X Once again it is my privilege to commend you on this splendid publication. You have attempted to depict many of the unique achievements, individually and collec- tively, by various members of your school. This greatness which you laud could not have been possible unless a definite plan of action was vigorously pursued. Moreover, I am sure that each step of the way there were those who were there to say you were wrong. That there were many difficulties arising which tempted you to believe your critics. But because these efforts were founded upon the principles of purposeful activity, like true champions, you possessed the indomitable traits necessary to win these rewards. Again, may I offer my hearty congratulations and wish for you, and the Champions who are no longer on the immediate scene, continued success in your pursuit of excel- lence. W. L. Tobias, Sr.

Public Relations Director -may During the few brief years of her existence, Coahoma Junior College through constant emphasis upon the excellent has achieved a status which aptly entitles her to be hailed the College of Champions. ln her varied curriculum - enrichment activities - music, drama, forensics, art, ath- letics, Coahoma has flown her banner from the highest pinnacle. In mat- ters purely academic the' Coahoma student has time and time again ranked among the finest of the fine. With each new achievement of excellence has come a broadened prestige and an increased pride. Also there has come a deepened. but humble. sense of responsibility to better fulfill the mission to which she is dedicated - the development of young minds. the instilling of ideals and attitudes, the awakening of aspirations. The fulfillment of this mission will mean that upon a glorious past shall be built an even more glorious future. From the first graduating class of 34 members in 1952 to the present class of nearly 150, the spirit of excellence which leads to victory has prevailed. With each Coahoman who goes forth to win his place in the sun there goes with him the spirit and the story of his alma mater - the Col- lege of Champions. James E. Miller
