PHILOSOPHY The administration, faculty, and staff of Coahoma Agricultural High School believe that the ultimate goal of education is to equip each student, insofar as his capacity permits, to become an intelligent and productive citizen in the age in which he lives. This is done by helping each student become aware of his potentials, by guiding him in participating in experiences which will strengthen his development according to his own ability, and helping him through sound instruction to acquire skill for independent thinking and intelligent use. We believe the school should provide a variety of experiences for all students: to aid in the development of the basic skills and knowledge in a given vocation for those who have shown certain interests and abilities; and to provide sound preparatory training for students who wish to continue their education beyond the high school level. We believe that each child should be assured of an educational opportunity, restricted only by his limitations. It is our belief that there should be a close liaison between the home, the school, and the community for the purpose of developing the potential of each student and preparing him to meet the demands of a democratic society.

Its purpose is to recognize high achievement among seniors enrolled in Mississippi high schools. Both public and private high school students in Mississippi are eligible to enter the program. To be recognized, a star-student must make a minimum score of 20 on the ACT and have a grade-point average of 92 or above. If a student makes a 34 or above, two star-students are chosen for that school. After a star-student has been chosen, he or she chooses a star-teacher; one who has contributed the most to his educational development. Marcus Reeves Marcus Reeves, a native of Jonestown, MS, is an outstanding individual. After graduating from Jonestown Elementary School in 1984, he came to Coahoma Agricultural High School where he has been an honor roll student each year. He has made considerable accomplishments and has made the Coahoma Aggie family proud of him. He has received numerous awards. Among them are Who ' s Who Among American! High School Students, National Science Merit Award, President ' s Academic Fitness Award, The National Honor Roll and many others. Marcus is also very versatile. He served as president of the student council, editor-in-chief of the Yearbook, captain of the basketball team, a member of the baseball team, and even held a part-time job. In the future Marcus plans to become a physician specializing in surgery. As of now, he plans to attend Coahoma Junior College and later further his studies at an accredited medical school.

Mrs. Olenza McBride (Social Science) Hsjj m 84 Francis Silket, Editor A word from the editor . . . Again, we have successfully completed an edition of the Aggian. Our diligent staff has spent hours preparing this book so that we could present to you a picturesque view of the memories of this institution that we hold dear. The work was not always easy and at times we thought we wouldn ' t meet our deadlines, but we overcame our obstacles to give you the best. The theme of this year ' s book is Wheels To Progress. ' ' We consider each member of Aggie, be it an administrator, an instructor, or a student, a wheel because each of you have contributed to its progress by merely being a part of it. I extend a sincere thanks to the faculty, staff, and student body who have pitched in to make this publication another part of the never ending progress of our school. I would also like to convey a special gesture of gratitude to the staff who exemplified determination, pride, and most of all, dedication in constituting our yearbook. We have deeply enjoyed presenting this year ' s Aggian to you in spite of the tedious work and long hours that we have put in making it the best it can be. We hope that you have enjoyed the Aggian and that you can capture the spirit and enthusiasm that is present in every hallway and classroom and on every sidewalk of Coahoma Agricultural High School. v Francis B. Silket Editor @C T s£w 85 m Felecia Johnson, Co-Editor mm m 86 As the 1988-89 Co-Editor of this year ' s annual, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, the Aggian, your 1988-89 annual. I must admit that I have enjoyed working on the yearbook and working with the staff of the yearbook. I must also admit that it does give me great pleasure to present to the Aggie fans a special and memorable book, one that they can treasure for the rest of their lives. In order for us to support this year ' s theme, Wheels To Progress, we had to spend plenty of time during school and after school with our patient advisor, Ms. J. Powell, to gather many photographs and newspaper clippings and to think of different ways to do each page. I truly hope that your viewing of our 1989 Yearbook is an enjoyable one because we did our best to develop a lasting memory. Thank you, Felicia Johnson J.

Rita Sargeant Hanfor, who grew up on the campus of Coahoma Junior College and Agricultural High School, attended Sandy Bayou Elementary School and graduated from both Agricultural High School and Coahoma Junior College with honor and distinction. After graduation in 1969 from Coahoma Junior College, she transferred to Alcorn State University, where she received a B.S. degree in Business in 1971. After graduation from Alcorn State University, she became secretary to the Registrar at Coahoma Junior College. She served in this position so amicably that, in 1974, she was appointed Acting Registrar — a position she held until the administration was reorganized in 1980. At that time, Mrs. Hanfor was appointed Dean of Admissions and Records. From childhood Rita has been a loyal supporter of all programs of Sandy Bayou before it was dissolved and of Coahoma Junior College and Agricultural High School. She served under the leadership of all Coahoma Junior College band directors — Miss Consuella Carter. Mr. Michael Jossell, and now, Mr. T. J. Jones. Also, she serves as special director for the auxiliary corps and is responsible for its unique performance in parades and special shows. Having watched her from Little Rita to Mama Hanfor the administration, faculty, staff and students salute Rita Sargeant Hanfor by dedicating to her the 1989 Edition of our school Yearbook.

His gentleman ' s wit, sophistication, and intellect manifested themselves in all his accomplishments. He worked diligently so students could learn not only scientific prin- ciples, but principles of life. His loyalty, dedication, and sense of duty to Coahoma Junior College were unmatched. A sense of perfection characteriz- ed everything he did. A dapper appearance, a smile, a cordial greeting, a tip of his hat — all were trademarks of the man ' s gentility. Illness did not diminish his kind demeanor or mild- mannered disposition. He seem- ed to persevere it spite of the af- fliction. Rayford Kays We will all miss Rayford Keys. Coahoma Junior College and Agricultural High School lost a great teacher and a fine human being. As a memorial to Mr. Keys, Room 6 of Whiteside Hall has been named the Rayford Keys Physical Science Laboratory. In Loving Memory Nature ' s first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. 89 Colleges first president, B.F. AAcLaurin, dies May 2 Services for one of Coahoma County ' s outstan- ding educators, Benjamin Franklin (B.F.) McLaurin, who was instrumental in founding Coahoma Junior College and served as its first president, were at 2 p.m. Sun- day at Marion Reid Auditorium on the CJC cam- pus. Officiating was the Rev. L.L. Guy with burial in McLaurin Memorial Garden. Century Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. Mr. McLaurin died of an apparent heart attack at his home, 922 McKinley St., May 2, 1988. He was 77. In 1949 during Mr. McLaurin ' s third year as superintendent and principal teacher at Coahoma Agricultural High School, he and four others were suc- cessful in expanding the school into a junior college. Influential in numerous community activities, he was trustee and steward of Friendship A.M.E. Church, and spearheaded many finan- cial drives for the Boy Scouts and March of Dimes. He was a leader in Democratic Party Politics and a member of the NAACP. Mr. McLaurin was the oldest of 11 children. His parents were the late Rev. Vert T. and Mrs. Jessie Ratliff McLaurin, and he was born July 21, 1909, in Mt. Olive. His early education began there in Covington County. In 1935 he received a BS degree at Alcorn A M Col- lege and earned a master ' s degree from Tuskegee In- stitute, with additional studies at New York Univer- sity. He first came to Coahoma County as an agriculture teacher at Coahoma Agricultural High School, and after five years moved to Mileston with the Farm Home Administration. In 1942 he returned to Coahoma County as farm garden food preservation supervisor for King and Anderson Planta- in. F. McLaurin tions. From there he went to Florida Normal and In- dustrial College in St. Augustine, Fla. In 1945 he joined the agriculture depart- ment of Alcorn A M and the next year returned here as superintendent and principal teacher at Coahoma A.H.S. He married the former Sez- zie Mae Weakley, who preceded him in death. Following retirement from education, he founded the McLaurin Memorial Garden Cemetery. He was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the Elks, and Masons. He was also a member of the Mississippi Education Association, the National Education Association, the American Teachers Associa- tion, ARTA, and NRTA. Surviving him are two sons, Lt. Col. Benjamin F. McLaurin Jr. and Dr. Johnnie W. McLaurin; a grandson, Kevin McLaurin; nis step- mother, Mrs. Vert McLaurin of Mt. Olive; six brothers and two sisters including Griffin McLaurin of Tchula, Joseph McLaurin of Jackson, Albert McLaurin of Collins, Mrs. Elizabeth Gowan of Mt. Olive, Johnnie McLaurin, Samuel McLaurin, Vert McLaurin, and Mrs. Jessie Ruth Willis, all of Springfield, Mass.

Let ' s begin with the triumphant and action-packed season finale of the 1987-88 Lady Tigers. Due to a very well-organized and tightly knitted group of young women and a very capable coach, Ella Stampley, the Lady Tigers finished the season as the seventh ranked team in the nation. During their journey to the top, the girls finished second in the state tournament and went on to win the regional tournament. In the midst of the athletic department, three new coaches make their presence known. Other than our faithful and dependable Coach A. B. White, our football coaching staff made a complete change. New head coach, Coach I 1 Robert Bob Holloway, new defensive co- ordinator Roosevelt Ramsey, and new as- sistant coach, Coach William West, along with Coach White brought into this year ' s summer camp and football season, a new attitude with better concepts ideas, and a more organized team. Although the season was not a complete success, it was not complete failure. The Tigers did manage to bread a four year losing streak and an estimated fifteen year homecoming losing streak with a tie game on Homecoming night. This year, a special honor was given to the CJC family by the football team. Along with the 1988 football season came the first National Junior College Athletic Associ- ation (NJCAA) Ail-American to ever play for Coahoma. Myron Martin, through his job as punter, became a first team All- American selector and the first All- American at Coahoma. The 1988-1989 athletic year has truly been a year that can be recorded in the history books as a year of accomplishments and as a year for which Tiger fans can be proud. But no matter how the games end or how the scores turn out, as long as that Tiger pride and dignity shine brightly, our teams will always be winners. CJC ' s Martin named JuCo Ail-American Sophomore punter Myron Martin of Coahoma Junior Col- lege has been named to the Na- tional Junior College Athletic Association ' s Ail-American team. Martin, 5-11 and 217 pounds, led the Mississippi Junior Col- lege North Division in punting for the entire season with an average of nearly 50 yards per punt. Martin is a honor student majoring in Computer Science. He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. McKinley C.Martin. Martin is joined on the Ail- American squad by five other Mississippi Junior College stan- douts. Sophomore running back Ken- ny Taylor of Holmes Junior Col- lege, 6-0 and 195 pounds, was named to the First Offensive Team as was offensive lineman sophomore John David Camacho of Hinds Junior Col- lege. On the First Defensive Team, freshman running back Mike McClenton, 6-0 and 240 pounds, from of Northwest Mississippi Junior College was named. Randy Baldwin, freshman running back from Holmes Junior College (6-0, 208) was named to the Second Offensive Team and Westley Carol, 6-1, 185-pound sophomore of Nor- thwest Mississippi Junior Col- lege was named to Honorable Mention Team.
