Dear Students, Alumni, and Friends: About midway the third decade of this century the Coahoma County Agricultural High School was founded to meet certain community needs that were then existent. The passing years eliminated or modified some of the original needs but brought on new and expanded ones. To meet new and growing challenges the institution's educational program was broadened and extended upward in 1949 to include the junior college grades. For twenty years, then, Coahoma Junior College and Agricultural High School has sought to offer democratized education to the community it serves on both the secondary and post-secondary school levels. We can look back now and review progress accomplished, re-examine problems solved and yet unsolved, and reassess our worth. We can look at the present and weigh what we are against what we hope to be. And thus from the lessons of the past we can set our goals for the future. It is man's capacity to mentally swing from Retrospection to Progression that sets him apart from other animals. Robert Burns tells the hapless field mouse: Still, thou art blest, compared wi' me! The present only toucheth theeg But, Och! I backward cast my e'e On prospects drear! An' forward, though I canna see, I guess and fear! We look back upon the institution's past with justifiable pride: we look forward to its future with cautious optimism free of fear, Congratulations to the Yearbook Staff for taking a two-way look at CJC and AHS. I ames E, Miller President
