9jres1k12f's yyzpessaye The Federal Programs have provided funds for the construction of facilities and for the support of educational programs in many fields. All the opportunities for student growth and development, and the many student aids came as a result of the administration's desire to bring to our students the financial benefits made possible by our state, local and federal pro- grams. The National Defense Student Loan and the Work-Study Programs have meant much in that students of limited financial means are provided assistance to attend college as well as to the students who have not been raised in an environment where college going was a normal and almost inevitable destination. More important it has brought a strong partnership between education and the states which has been a long time coming, but is now apparent that education is the child of politics - not the politics of deals and maneuvers but politics of compassion, of social justice, of principle and of American progress. Through these pro- grams the unusual promise of the intellectually potential, of the academic financially handi- capped, and the inadequate environmental college student has been discovered. It is true that all students will not look toward the university as an immediate objective. After one or two years of experience in a junior college, students may enter the labor market full time. These programs have made education beyond the high school level available to all who want to benefit by it. Our next important task will be to bring honor to our institution and the students by meeting standards set up by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools which will qualify our institution to become a member in the very near future. However, the goals and functions of the college are evaluated regularly in the light of tomorrow's needs so that students may appreciate its offerings. There is no foolproof preparation for the future, no individual can afford to enter the working world today without having trained him- self to the fullest extent of his own capabilities.

wean 75 yyfessaye Ji? 45 ,4 ff! Mrs. Dorothy M. Armstrong, Secretary The Coahoma College faculty has deep personal involvement in developing the program of the school. The faculty is dedicated to improving the quality of its college teaching. This is becoming more important with the increase in the student enrollment. Since the college is not selective in the enrollment of students, we deal with a wide range of pupil ability, The increase of faculty members means a wide range of ability among the teachers also. The faculty will need to continue examining itself, its instructional practices, and its professional attain- ments. Student evaluations of the faculty and the program can be most helpful. This program requires daring and dynamic educational leaders who keep abreast with state and national developments and plan programs designed to help the culturally deprived and others become responsible self directed citizens. Evaluation of the individual student achievement and effectiveness of educational program has been made more concrete by the Sights and Sounds depicted in the 1966 Coahoman. These experiences, activities, and results are a record of the worth of Coahoma. May I congratulate you the teachers and students who have provided this instrument of evaluation. Mary G. Whiteside, Dean
