That name stands tor quality for opportunity for excel- lenoe. Today East Central continues each day in many ways to make a name for itself.

Sometimes that spirit has been seen in athle- tic competitiong sometimes in academic competitiong some- times it is seen in the faces of students as they cross the cam- pus or as they work. Other times it is noticed in the quieter mo- ments students spend studying together or in the face of a stu- dent who has completed a diffi- cult assignment and knows he did well. The East Central spirit contin- ues to grow as students leave and go to other schools or go to work. The type of spirit which has been instilled in them follows them and helps them achieve the goals they have set. When an East Central student yells, Go Warriors! he is really referring to the Warrior Spirit which abides in each of us. Janet Mowdy throws herself into the EC spirit and paints a picture of what spirit is all about. 55740 My Name ls Mud! The spirit of ECJC is evident in students' willingness to try new things.

Tell that to any tenth grader, and he won't believe it. Tell it to a graduat- ing sophomore at East Central Junior College, and he will tell you that he knows it is true. But Friends Are Forever! Students from all over the five-county district, from other places in Mississippi, and from as far away as Michigan have this year come together as strangers, but will leave as friends. Meeting classes, play- ing, eating, rooming, and studying together provide the perfect ingredients for the growth of friendship, and whether they meet as fellow members of an intramural team or as lab partners, friends made at ECJC are truly forever.

Smith: His Name Spells Progress For E.C.J.C. Dr. Eddie M. Smith, serving as President of East Central Junior College since 1985, has earned his position by dedicating himself to education. He graduated from East Central in 1963 with an Associate of Arts Degree in general education. The next two years, 1963-64 and 1964- 65, he spent at Mississippi State University earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Science Education. ln 1970, he earned a Master's Degree in Education from MSU. Dr. Smith then transferred to the University of Southern Mississippi, receiving a Doctorate of Higher Education in Administration and Supervision. Dr. Smith's skills in administration have been well used. His past positions state clearly his capabilities. He served in the Natchez-Adams County Schools as a classroom teacher of junior high and high school science and later as supervisor of science instruction in grades seven through twelve for the entire system. From 1965 to 1970, he served as assistant principal. After leaving the Natchez School System, Dr. Smith began his career in higher education and has been associated with the University of Southern Miss., Copiah-Lincoln Junior College and East Central Junior College. Dr. Smith, pursuing one of his favorite pastimes, checks the progress of dinner which he seldom is able to enjoy at home with his busy schedule of evening activities on campus. On a typical day, students will find Dr. Smith stopping on the mall to check on their classwork and to offer assistance with any problems they might have. 6 'J ' ' 1 - ' 1' '.lZ t.:l1r,f I 5 i nf' X Z, I An avid frequenter of flea markets and antique shops, Dr. Smith has assembled an impressive collection of antique tin boxes and bottles. Here, he reads the ingredients from an old medicine bottle. I Married to the former Charlotte Flowers, Dr. Smith is the father of two daughters, Kelli who is a medical student at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, and Wendy, a junior at Mississippi College. He is a member of Clarke-Venable Baptist Church where he is a member of the finance committee and the music committee and serves as church organist. A bass and bream fishing enthusiast, his prize fish which he snagged in the college pond, is displayed in his office. A degree in botany comes in handy as Dr. Smith enjoys raising plants and gardening. Dr. Eddie M. Smith certainly has worked diligently to make a name for himself, and he continues to strive to enhance the name of East Central Junior College as he leads the institution toward the twenty-first century. The two people with whom Dr. Smith is in constant communication are Dr. Bradford Tucker, Dean of Instruction and LeAnn Scoggin, secretary to the President. On Monday morning, the three go over the week's schedule before plunging into work. gf-ff ff,-Y Occasionally, EC's President will drop by a classroom for a visit. In an anatomy class, he recounts his own experiences in science classes when he was a student at East Central. 7 Current Students Have Already Made A Name Since the primary purpose of any institution is to educate its students, East Central Junior College places its greatest attention on academics. The college is pleased that a great number of the top students in the five-county district choose East Central for the first two years of their education. Untold numbers of doctors, lawyers, scientists, ministers, and businessmen started on the road to success at East Central. 2,,.t-5. to Michelle Mitchell, Lake High School, and John Hardin, Scott Central, both valedictori- ans, check on their Valedictorian Scholarships 2 with Business Cfflce clerk, Laura Baggett.

Canopied by giant oaks which were growing when the college began, the mall is the perfect place for friends to visit, for pep rallies to be held, or for food to be served. Ask any student at ECJC, and he will probably list the East Mall in his top three favorite places on the campus. Snowball fights in winter and acorn wars in the fall create memories which will follow students throughout their lives. Alumni gather for the annual alumni luncheon attended this year by almost 300 people. The Warrior band gears up for a pep rally. , X 16 YN 'T Kerri Posey and Jeff McNair seem intent on their purpose ot delivering freshly-laundered jeans to a friend.

So what does he do with the rest of the twenty-four hours? Ac- cording to one survey, a stu- dent will spend one hour eat- ing lunch and dinner, two hours showering and dressing, seven hours sleeping, and two hours studying. However, this still leaves about seven hours of free time. While some students choose to spend that free time off the campus, most students find interesting places and ways to get together on the campus. One of the most popular places to get together is the Student Center where one is likely to see anything from a card game to heavy studying before a big test. Right next door, the Activity Center is al- ways busy with pool, ping- pong, pick-up basketball games, weight lifting, and vid- eo games. Another popular place to get together at East Central is in the dorms to watch the daily soap operas. When something big is about to happen on DAYS OF OUR LIVES or SAN- TA BARBARA, there is stand- ing room only in the lobbies with animated discussion over whether a certain character will really die or make a mirac- ulous recovery. In warm weather, the brick 14 Together benches scattered around the campus are popular places for students to congregate. Whether it is in front of Ne- shoba Hall to discuss a big game or near the library to re- view notes before going to class, the outdoors lures stu- dents. Although the library is a place of quiet and study, it also a popular place of getting together. Study dates in the library are common when cou- ples want to be together but need to study. Getting together with friends is the best part of col- lege, states one freshman. I like my classes and l'm happy with my dorm room. But being with other students in a casual atmosphere is what l like best. One of the many events that offer a chance of getting together is a dance. These dances are given for such events as elections and fundraising and attract a wide range of students. X Q an-.0 . ' i . ..... sQ1w f4'l M W ...aff-casxwffwf ' Q, was fgt-at...

Friends, Penny Crawford and Ver- andel Irons, have found the mall a favorite place to get together. an Mark Marable and Jeff Schloemer find a resting place on the back of a car - a favorite place to hang out and visit after classes. When a crowd gets together for a pep rally, they can always look forward to hearing from Coach Kilpatrick, ECJC's head football coach. Students are sometimes rather innova- tive in finding means of getting together. A recent walk across campus revealed two students sitting in the open trunk ofa car. Several students were sitting in the empty football bleachers while another group had climbed a tree on the mall. My favorite place to get together is my room, says Sharon Coker. Some- times there might be as many as twelve girls in my room. We can watch TV, talk, study, visit, and never have to leave the room. Whatever the place, whatever the time, one fact seems to remain true. East Cen- tral students, like college students across the country, will find a way to get togeth- er. We've Come A Long Way Cut-Of-Staters Find Home At ECJC Most of the students at East Central Junior College come from the five counties which support the college. However, each year students from other states travel to East Central to enroll. The college has made a name for itself as a place which makes everyone feel at home. Whether a student comes to East Central as an athlete to play football, bas- ketball, or baseball or whether he or she comes for other rea- sons, the end result is usually the same. ECJC becomes a second home, and leaving is a difficult thing to do. l'll always feel a part of ECJC, Scott Engle, an Ala- bama native said. I like it here, and l've made some good friends. I know when it comes time to leave, it will be like leaving home again. Nikki Minard chose East Central be- cause she had heard ot its high quality of education, and her hometown ol Demopolis, Alabama, is only a short drive away. 16 Patrick Luttrell, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, stops in the hall be- fore going to lit class to talk about an upcoming basketball game with Amy Davidson and Michelle Gray.

Cv from North Carolina will drop them off on his way home. .ww- Out-of-state students come to East Central knowing few if any people here. lt doesn't take long, however, for them to find that making friends is easy. The only bad part about East Central is the week- ends, Randy Fullington and Bryne Drummond, both from Houston, Texas, agree. When Friday afternoon comes, the district students load up and go home, and un- less there's a game, the week- ends get long. When out-of-state students leave and return to their home states, they spread the word about East Central, and in a few years, some of them will choose to send their children here. Randy thinks he's far enough away from home that surely no one will ever find out he put on a miniskirt. l 1 7 Monday Tuesday Week in 11111 y 2 y y viii: ii N11 f.f,,1gy f lsr 'W '- WMA--'-H'---.....,,,,,-. l 'lQiE eggs, S l r L -QQ-vi' -ffl.

Of Fall weekends mean football games, and week- ends in the fall of 1987 were made more exciting by thoughts of the Warriors making the state playoffs. Mass Confusion Name's The Same . For at least a few East Cen- tral students, the names their parents chose for them have created a great deal of confu- sion here on the campus. Five Pennys vie for attention, along with five Scotts . There are even two John Marks. lt's kind of amusing, says Penny Caldwell, a freshman from Carthage. People are always saying they saw my name on a list or something, and when l check it, it's an- other Penny. Three Scotts fScott Engle, Scott Jackson, and Scott Tisdalet snatch Among students registered this year are two Shelly Moores, several Tam- mys, and at least four stu- dents named Chris and four girls who share the name MeIissa. To add to the confusion, East Central has four sets of twins and some students with rather unusual names. There just aren't a lot of people in the area with names like Ar- nault, Daigre, Mainka, and Decuir. a minute between classes to grab a burger and try to sort out their names. EE' if Q l A, .X - ' .

When a high school senior becomes a college freshman, and suddenly finds himself in a strange place without his fam- ily to support him, where does he turn? Well, at East Central, he has a whole host of people to answer his questions, give him a kind word, pat him on the back, or offer a little en- couragement when he needs it. ln addition to the faculty who go into the classroom ev- ery day and the administrators who see that the college runs smoothly, there is a whole net- work of support people who see that students feel at home. Two of the first people that students encounter on the campus are the ladies in the bookstore who never seem to tire of answering the same questions and locating the same books. Mrs. Shoemak- 2 w.sc,,, , .4 f- , N . , f-7 9 f- 75 t if 1 f . a' fe.. f It 5 5' fx itz ...nl er and Mrs. Johnston indeed support students. Students who find they need a boost in a particular class may go to the Special Services Office where Mrs. Tingle and Mrs. Kilpatrick arrange for help through spe- cial tutors. ln the girls' dorms, life would be less than rosey without the guidance of help- ing hands of Mrs. Holbrook and Mrs. Haralson. Students who find them- selves with questions concern- ing a wide range of problems from admissions to lost and found articles are assisted by friendly personnel in the ad- ministrative offices. Although many students tend to over- look their important role, the maintenance staff works daily to assure that the classrooms and grounds are at their best. Linda Hansford, Secretary to the Dean of Students, simplifies life for EC students by providing the Student Bulletin each day. I!!

While all of these girls have not chosen to put their beauty on the line in pageant competition, a num- ber of them have. It is a part of East CentraI's name for excellence in all areas that has caused several pageant winners to choose East Central as their college. Here they can find themselves a part of a fundamental academic atmosphere and be appreci- ated for their beauty, poise, talent, and intelligence. 1987-88 boasts pageant winners in a variety of pageants, including the Choc- taw Princess Contest, high school beau- ty pageants, Miss Neshoba County Pag- eant, Farm Bureau Queen Contest, and East Central's own Most Beautiful Pag- eant. Amy Pouncey, the 1987 Farm Bureau Queen, enjoys pageant competition but says winning is always secondary to the pleasure of getting to know new friends. s , 'A f -Nt' -' ,MS , y ':'ig:, f. ,.

But that time will come, as it did this fall for hundreds of alumni who crowded the campus on a sunny Saturday in October to relive events and renew acquaint- ances. From a student's point of view, Homecoming week provides an op- portunity to participate in a wide range of activities which, even as they happen, become a part of his memories of ECJC. First, there is the Homecoming election to choose the queen and her court. Then begins the prepara- tion for the Big Day. Groups design and build displaysg the Student Body Association and cheerleaders plan spirit activitiesg the Homecoming dance ap- proachesg and the football team and band practice. When Homecoming Day arrives, the campus shines as students, fac- ulty and staff rise early to be ready when the first guests arrive. At the end of the day, the queen has been crownedg the game has been won, old friends have visited, and a tired group retires to think about another ECJC Homecoming. The girls in Jackson Hall seem to have the competition sewn up on the display competi- tion, having won for two years in a row. .

Of course l'm nervous, says Cindy Crimm, a freshman from Scott Central. Nerves are always a part of pageant competition, but EC girls don't show their nervousness once the pageant be- gins. By vote of the contestants, Nancy Bagwell was named Miss Congeniality. One of the most eagerly-awaited events on the campus is the yearly beauty pageant. This year thirty-one young ladies vied for the honor of be- ing called ECJC's Most Beautiful. Under the direction of music instructor Leesa Lee, the pageant went off with- out a hitch. A near-capacity crowd watched as the girls were introduced and as the number was narrowed to twelve and then to five. This year, the beaus and Most Handsome were selected through stu- dent vote. lt's a lot of fun, working with the pageant, Ms. Lee confided. The girls are always fun to be with, and I enjoy helping them. Backstage before the pageant, Janet Mowdy, who was later named a Beauty, takes a final look before joining the other contestants for the opening of the pageant. Kimberly Martin, from Lake and a member of the Collegians, helped keep the crowd entertained while the judges were out. ,. New + Brian Waddell, another member of the Collegians, proved a real crowd pleaser when he sang Give her Rain and She'll Find the Rainbow. Steve Deaton, a freshman from De- catur, plans a career in Christian rock music and as an entr'act entertainer, he proved he can hold the crowd's attention with his original music. Jerry Dukes entered ECJC after Christmas, just in time to let the pag- eant crowd see and hear why he has built a reputation as a fine guitarist and vocalist. i 3 1 . -3' If 1. ff, : 3 f x n f' 4, ff Z , ff . , .. , 42' 0 4 V fy I X ' ff' fZm NU W. 54' f, 4-, -5 ' 227 7 ff, . f -' ,X ., i f '55 TJ?

Not only is Shelly beautiful, her actions show that her beauty pervades her whole life. Shelly has been a cheerleader for two years. She is a member of Mu Al- pha Theta, the election committee, the President's Council, the TOM-TOM staff, the Fashion Squad and an intra- mural football team. She has served this year as president of the Sopho- more Dorm Council and was chosen a Sophomore Favorite. Asked what the highlight of her two years at East Central was, Shelly quickly answered, Being elected Homecoming Queen. lcouldn't believe the students chose me, but I was thrilled that they did! Shelly was a beauty in the 1987 pageant, but she indicates that being chosen Most Beautiful was a great shock - but it wasn't a shock to those in the audience for Shelly Wolverton epitomizes what beauty should be. ECJC's lvtost Handsome, Kevin Cochran, is a freshman. Kevin came to East Central this year to play baseball and quickly fit in with all the new friends he found here. A native of San Antonio, Texas, Kevin apparently brought some Texas charm with him. He was recently elected a Freshman Favorite by his fellow students. A graduate of Douglas McArthur High School in San Antonio, Kevin served as an escort in East Central's 1987 Homecoming Court and played intramural football and basketball. East Central has the friendliest people l've ever met, Kevin stated. l've felt at home right form the start. lVlr.

Normally, the two are seen running around the campus, participating in so many things that they sometimes begin to over- lap.

Tryouts are only the first step in a com- plicated series of preparations leading up to opening night. First, players meet for a read through, as they begin to develop their characters as they envision them. While Peterson gives direction to the players, each actor is free to develop his character as he sees the character. After approximately three weeks of re- hearsal, opening night approachesg props are all in place, and dress re- hearsal, complete with makeup and costumes, becomes a reality. Suddenly, it is opening night. The lights dimg hearts pound: and once again the players take the stage for a successful run of a comedy, a mystery, and an original play written by ECJC instructor Ovid Vickers. There is literally nothing like it, re- members Marshall Watkins, a sopho- more majoring in theatre.

X ' Xi Walk On The Wild Side Being located in a small town, East Central doesn't of- fer a wide variety of exciting activities. Therefore, students sometimes have to invent their own. When pick-up games in the activity center and card games in the student center get old students look for newer and more innovative Q? forms of entertainment. Water balloon tights, skate- board races, tennis matches with tour people on each side of the net, trying to walk the curb all the way down the mall without falling off - all these offer fun to students who might otherwise get bored Misty Watkins a Centralette from West Lauderdale puts a little fun into the day with a set of wax lips and Dracula tangs Misty is just one stu dent who can invent her own enter tainment when theres nothing hap pening on campus X XQXQX X wi' X at NWXQX I . . , . xg ' 'If Q. ,.

Wm I- r Q5 G J 'iRk72lQ. XXX Qc rx'-iv LUHHQ ki 5 'Y H' QSM: There once was a little girl who enrolled at a wonderful ju- nior college in lvlississippi. She loved this junior college and made many new friends there. She went every day to class and answered questions and took tests and handed in re- ports. This little girl only had one problem. Every Thursday promptly at 10:30 p.m. she locked her keys in,,her car. Now, the first time she did this, she thought, Oh, l've never done this before, and I certain- ly won't ever do it again. Marla Gardener and her boyfriend Fe lecia Smith wait apprehensively as Constable Staper tries to open Mar la s locked car The next Thursday howev- er it happened again! Now she was worried. Was she haunted by some unknown ghost of locked cars that caused her to do this terrible deed? Was she doomed to an eternity of tears and calls to the local sheriff's office? Would her father take her car away? Only the little girl knows the answer to these preseeing questions, and even at this moment she is somewhere coathanger in hand, trying to get into her car.

When the call went out for the annual blood drive, students respond- ed with typical Warrior Spirit. The blood drive was spon- sored by the VICA Club this year, and more than 200 stu- dents showed up. The blood drive is only one example of how students show a spirit of community with oth- ers. Another instance was Phi Beta l.ambda's food drive which netted several hundred dollars worth ot food for needy families. ln another example, Phi Theta Kappa participated in a program to collect pop tops which a kid- ney dialysis patient could ex- change through a soft drink company for treatment. 85 'A it ji N W L w .J x 'iii --4 i f 23 - ,,, , ,.M,?c.- AXQ' 'T' 195 'N - ..

This year twenty-two students at East Central achieved this honor. Qualifications for being named to Who's Who include participation in campus activities, grade point average, projection of a positive image for the junior college, and recommendation by faculty. Gene Davis, Dean of Students, coordinates the selection of these students from the sophomore class. Selection is always a difficult thing, Davis stated.

This is the way one faculty member described Wiley Adams. Wiley has been an outstanding student during his two years at East Cen- tral, having been a member of Phi Theta Kappa, Phi Beta Lambda, and Who's Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges. He received a Valedictory Scholarship to East Central in addition to a scholarship from Weyerhaeuser Corp. He is a Scholastic All-American and has been in the Honors English and Literature Program. ln his nomination, another faculty mem- ber said ot Wiley, Some day this college can point to him with pride as a former student. The President of the Student Body As- sociation at East Central has a tremen- dous responsibility, and few presidents have filled that responsibility as well as Shea Hailey. While serving as SBA Presi- dent, Shea has been a member of the Warrior Corps, a football manager, a member of the Absentee Appeals and Discipline Committees, and has served as Chairman ofthe President's Council. Dur- ing the summer of 1987, he returned to the campus for summer orientation to as- sist freshmen in getting off to a good start at East Central. One comment which seems to summa- rize Shea's contributions to the campus comes from one of his faculty nomina- tions tor Hall ot Fame. Shea has a unique ability to lead in difficult situations and to maintain his integrity while remain- ing popular with his peers.

She has been a member ot Alpha Alpha Epsi- lon, Mu Alpha Theta, Phi Theta Kappa, the Presidents Council, the VVOHELO staff, the Scholars Bowl Team, and the ECJC Players. Suzanne received the Freshman Chem- istry Award and the National Collegiate Engineering Award. She has served as an officer in a number of campus organiza- tions, including the presidency of Mu Al- pha Theta. Stated one faculty member of Su- zanna, She has learned, perhaps better than any student l know, to balance her academic work with extracurricular activi- ties. The President of Alpha Alpha Epsilon, a member ot the 1988 Scholar's Bowl Team, treasurer ot Phi Theta Kappa, and a member of the Presidents Council, Terry Matula still found time to maintain an average ot 3.778 in the engineering curriculum. Terry is a 1988 Scholastic All- American and a member ot Who's Who in American Junior Colleges. Terry meets his responsibilities in a quiet, efficient manner, one nomination stated. l-ie wiil bring recognition to him- self and to the college in the future. Hall Ci Famers Excel Melissa Thrash has been one ofthe busiest students at East Central for the past two years. Serving as head football cheerleader, she has partici- pated in numerous other activities while maintaining an average of 3.67. This year, Melissa is president of Phi Theta Kappa, is Secretary of the Warrior Corps, Secretary ot the President's Council, and a Scholastic All- American. She has also been a member ot Sigma Sigma Mu Tau, Mu Alpha Theta, the TCM-TOM staff, the Dorm Council, the election committee, the curricu- lum committee, and has served as secretary of the sophomore class. She received the high honor of being chosen tor Phi Theta Kappa's Golden Key Leadership Award and appears in Who's Who in American Junior Colleges. As noted by one of her teachers, Melissa is interested in and involved in a wide range of activities. She is always willing to go that extra step beyond what is required of her, a trait which will stand her in good stead in the future. Marshall Watkins serves as Captain oi the Scholar's Bowl Team for 1988. Marshall is a truly versatile person, with interests in things which range from the theatre to chess. He has served for two years as co-editor of the WOHELO, has had lead roles in dinner theatre and musi- cal produotions, has played in the march- i' ing band, and has been named to Who's Who in American Junior Colleges. igkggit x 5. ,xr 5 i x X avevyr..

Membership in the Hall of Fame is reserved for that small number of students who are deemed worthy, because of their academic records and their contributions to campus life, of being remembered as The Best of the Best. This year, six outstanding graduating sophomores are added to the Hall of Fame. Whether visiting in the student center, making a pur- chase in the bookstore, waiting for a friend on the mall, reading for a part in a play, or preparing for Scholar's Bowl competition, these students exemplify those qualities that are synonymous with the Spirit of ECJC. l l 'w 9 X W.. 1 fm bf ,f V 'IS 'Pi f'7r'tm5if'f1l5 fl,Wl!' . ft J' V M4 'S f- ' 6 at is ,ie ., 4 0 V I eq f fi .- .

Beginning with nominations from faculty, students are first given a written test and then participate in a mock bowl in which not only knowledge but quickness becomes a factor. When the preliminary competi- tion is over, four team mem- bers and two alternates are named. Now in its fourth year of par- ticipation, East Central has brought home the first place trophy for two years in a row, placing added pressure on this year's team. As much as 812,000 in scholarship money will be awarded to the winning team, with additional scholar- ship money available for num- ber of questions answered. The team is sponsored by Dr. Shelby Harris who accom- panies them to the University for the competition. 87 Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa, a national honor society tor junior college students, is an unusually busy group at ECJC. Their purposes are to promote academic excellence among junior colleges and to provide services for the col- lege. During 1987-88, the Theta Xi Chapter at ECJC lived up to its purpose. The chapter hosted the Miss.-Tenn.-La. Regional Leader- ship Conference, assisted with homecoming and Veteran's Day on the campus, assisted the local DAR Chapter in distributing copies of the U.S. Constitution to shcool children, held several programs on honors topics, and attended the National Convention in Wash- ington, D.C.

Team Shows Improvement A Step ln The Flight Direction Pays Off For The Warriors In the fall of 1987 the name of the game at ECJC was definitely football. For the first time since 1981 the team advanced to the state playoffs, compil- ing a record of 7 and 3 before losing in the playoffs to Northwest. This year's Warrior team was truly phenomenal, as statistics point out. EC racked up 267 total points as com- pared to 130 points for their oppo- nents. In total offense, the Warriors gained a total of 3,835 yards to 2,830 by opponents. Individually, the Warriors compiled impressive statistics also. Marvin Pear- son scored twelve touchdowns and ran for two extra points accounting for a total of 74 points. Pearson also led the Warriors in rushing with a total of 155 carries for 827 yards gained. EC's leading receiver was Phillip Donald who caught 22 passes for a total of It. Q1- 373 yards. Mecedric Calloway in eleven games returned 17 kickoffs and 30 punt returns for a total of 764 yards. Verandel Irons attempted 29 PATs and was good on 25 of them, while Michael Killens punted the ball 50 times for a total of 1843 yards.

During the summer, the cheerleaders, led by head cheerleader Melissa Thrash, practiced long, hot hours to prepare for the fall. They at- tended cheerleader camp at the University of West Florida in Pensacola and came away with not only the spirit stick but four Superior ratings, one Excellent rating and one out- standing ribbon. Members of the cheerleader squad have a tremendous re- sponsibility in addition to their regular classwork. They must spend time each week review- Tonya Trapp tries to keep smiling as Dale Brooks goes surfing on her back at the Beach Party pep rally.

One of the most time consuming chores is that of making the run- through signs for the games - sometimes two per game on special occasions. Coming up with a good idea for a run- through takes time, and then executing the sign in a size of tO ft. by 25 ft. takes several hours, Cheerleaders perform not only at games but at pep ral- lies and other special events on campus, including Senior Night. They are the focal point of support behind the football teamp and while they may ap- pear carefree at games, they feel their obligation strongly. After the two regular sea- son games we lost, said Me- lissa Thrash, the cheer- leaders felt that if we had worked harder, the team might have won, lt's a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of work. EC's cheerleaders bring the student body to life at a pep rally with one of their original dance routines. They make it look easy, but any one of them will admit that it's not.

When the finals came in men's competition, a hard fought game saw the Untouchables defeat the Top Guns by a score of 20-14.

QA Misa 2 we I There were days when I thought of giving it up says Sheila Goodwin a sophomore band member from Carthage. It s difficult to keep in mind that when you step on the field the night of a performance you ll be glad you practiced long hours. H It s August' it s hot' and Mr Carson in- knows that it will pay off in excellent per sists on keeping the practice going. He formances and a lot of pride later on, I When the ECJC marching band takes the field for a performance, the eighty members of the group know they are prepared to do their best. Arriving on campus in August a week before school opens, band and auxiliary corps members learn quickly the meaning of hard work. Director Tom Carson spends the spring and summer recruiting students for the band and plan- ning shows which will live up to the name the band has made for itself. Mr. Carson takes band members from approxi- mately 15 different high school bands and molds them into a tightly-knit unit which entertains at halftime of football games, marches at Christmas parades, and even goes out as recruiters for the college. During the fall semester of 1987, the band performed at seven football games, marched in parades in Philadelphia, Newton, Forest and Decatur and did a guest perfor- mance at Newton High School's final football game. During the spring semester, the marching band takes a rest while the concert and jazz bands rehearse and perform. Assisting the band director in setting rules for band members is the Band Council which is composed of the leaders of each division of the band. The marching band makes another contribution to campus life by taking the lead at pep rallies. Whether it is playing the fight song or leading cheers, the band helps school spirit come alive. According to Mr. Carson, this year's band mem- bers will stack up against any group he has ever worked with. There are always problems, the direc- tor stated. However, this year the problems have been minor. ln my eight years at East Central, both as a student and as a faculty member, I have never worked with a more enthusiastic, dedicated group. 3 lv ' 'V s s: , at 9 W '-ni Q 'Wf Q- rt sill?

There is first of all a deadline to register for classesg there is a deadline to change classes, to add classes, to drop classes. Books, research papers, re- ports, all these have due dates. Petitions tor elections, for nomi- nations for Hall of Fame and Who's Who require that a dead- V Q S 1 U liilii ill ill 1 ill 'fx 6. line be met. Even coming into the dorm at night has a time limit, and the cafeteria closes at a certain time, no matter how hungry you are. These too are forms of deadlines. And after a student has spent two years at East Central, there is a deadline to submit an applica- tion to graduate. Later, there will be new dead- lines to meet - applications for jobs or admission to a university. And for many students there will be the deadline for applying for a marriage license, perhaps the most important deadline of all. Qi -lg ff rf' A N f P I X G l E l i l l I l X .

Sugar ls Sweet Warrior Corps members work hard each year representing the college at high schools and at various activities on the campus. This year, they were rewarded with a skiing trip to Boone, North Carolina. Accompanied by their sponsor, Greg Jefcoat, the group spent two days skiing Sugar Mountain where they learned that some- times watching can be as much fun as skiing. When the dust of snow had cleared, Bill Free- man and Mark Amis were voted as the best skiiers. Sonya Crowther and Daryl Brown, both Freshmen from Newton, take off toward the top of Sugar Mountain to start another adventure down the mountain. Bill Freeman does a few stretches before heading back up the mountain. l'm ready to go back! declared Free- man and other Warrior Corps members.

attain. ln the field of edu- cation, the highest goal a person can at- tain is the doctor's degree. On the staff at East Central Junior College, four persons have achieved this high ambition. We sa- lute these men as educators who have truly made a name for themselves. Dr. Shelby Harris has enjoyed a very successful career in his years of teaching. He graduated from Union High School and attended East Central Junior College where he received the Associate of Arts Degree. He later received the Bachelor of Science Degree in English and Mathemat- ics from the University of Southern Miss. Dr. Harris went on to receive the Mas- ter of Education with emphasis in math from Mississippi State University. He did further graduate work at Mississippi Col- lege, Tulane University, Florida State Uni- versity, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Nairobi in Kenya. l-le re- ceived the Doctorate at the Unviersity of Southern Mississippi. For twenty-two years, Dr. Harris was employed by the Peoples Bank of Missis- sippi on a parttime basis while he taught school. His first teaching duties were in Newton County and later in Kemper county. He has been at East Central for twenty-five years, two of which he spent as band director. Dr. Harris, while he loves teaching, has a number of hobbies outside teaching. He enjoys yardwork, swimming, interior de- sign, flower arrangement, and music. One of his favorite hobbies is traveling. He has been to Europe and to Kenya, Africa and has been to Hawaii twice. ln the summer of 1988, he will go to the South Pacific. Dr. Harris says that meeting people and getting to know them is his most memorable experience during his years at East Central. He is always receiving notes or calls from former students who keep him informed of their whereabouts. Dr. Harris has been president of the ECJC Faculty Club twice, President of the Miss. Junior College Faculty Association, President of the Miss. Teachers of Col- lege Mathematics, President of Miss-La. Council of Mathematics and currently serves as faculty sponsor of Phi Theta Kappa and Alpha Alpha Epsilon. He has served as President of the Greater Decatur Chamber of Commerce, president of the Decatur Lions Club, Dep- uty District Governor of the Lions Club. He serves as chairperson of the Math- ematics and Science Division at East Central. Dr. Harris says that his first love is East Central Junior College and has been since he was a student here. Dr. Harris offers the following advice for students he teaches, Study hard now and make your life's work a little easierg or let the studies go now and make life's work harder later on. Any college, however large or small, is ultimately judged by the quality of its fac- ulty. East Central Junior College is excep- tionally fortunate in this respect since it has a superb faculty. Dr. Richard C. Eth- ridge, who has taught at East Central for twenty-six years, is a vital part of this faculty. Like most of the teachers on this cam- pus, Dr. Ethridge has a sincere devotion to the college and unbounded faith in its 125 or. Richard Ethridge future. Sharing an opinion of many other faculty members, he considers his col- leagues to be like family. Therefore, there is a strong bond between members of the faculty, a fact which provides a tremen- dous advantage for the student. Dr. Ethridge began studying at Clarke College, where he attended one year. Then he transferred to Mississippi College and completed his Bachelor's Degree in two years rather than the three it should have taken. With a strong determination to obtain as much education as possible, Dr. Eth- ridge completed his Master's Degree in only a year and a half at Mississippi State University. However, his educational goals still were not fulfilled. After several years of hard work and effort, he com- pleted the Ph.D. Degree in History and Political Science at Mississippi State Uni- versity. Since his interests turned toward the political science area, one might wonder why Dr. Ethridge did not choose law or government service as a profession. When asked this question, he replied, l love teaching. That one statement says a great deal about this man and his desire to help students. Not only is Dr. Ethridge an avid teach- er but also a well-rounded individual who has numerous hobbies. He believes that having a wide range of interests helps an individual to function successfully in soci- ety. Dr. Ethridge enjoys hunting any type of game, fishing, and painting, but his favorite pastime is woodworking. Looking at his office, it is obvious that he is good at this hobby because hanging on the wall is a unique clock that he designed and made himself. East Central Junior College is fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated teacher. Without teachers such as Dr. Richard Ethridge, the school would not have enjoyed the success it has seen, and surely that slogan With You In Mind would not be as meaningful as it is.

'ti 'Fil Dr. Richard Fisher Dr. Brad Tucker Dr. Richard Fisher, East CentraI's chemistry teacher for a number of years, was born in England where his father was working as a chemist. Although he lived most of his early life in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dr. Fisher attended Cornell University in New York and received his A. B. Degree there. He later received the Ph.D. Degree in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ln reply to a question concerning what made him strive for the Ph.D. Degree, Dr. Fisher quoted his father who told him, If you want to go into chemistry, you have to have the Ph.D. So he completed the degree. Once out of college, East Central chemistry instructor. worked as instructor of Bio-Chemistry at the University of North Carolina. Then he became a senior researcher at Oxford University in England. Later he became a British researcher at the University College of London. Dr. Fisher later became head of the Department of Human Nutrition at Melbourne University in Melbourne, Australia. While working in a staff position at the University of Southern Mississippi, he heard of a job opening at East Central and decided that it might be more refreshing to teach undergraduates. When asked what he liked most about East Central, Dr. Fisher replied, The attitudes of the people are more per- sonal. Most large universities tend to be impersonal, and the individual student tends to become lost in the shuffle. It has been ten years since Dr. Fisher took this position at East Central. He indicates that although he has lived most of his life in large cities, he is happy here and plans to be here at least for a while. Recently, Dr. Fisher was nominated for a most presi- tious award. Dr. Bred Tucker was born in Leake County. He is the third child of the late Marvin and Bonnie Tucker. He was reared near Edinburg and is a graduate of Edinburg High School. He is married to the former Mary Vaughan of Yazoo County, and they have one daughter, Beth, who lives in Meridian. Dr. Tucker has always been interested in scholastic achievement, having been the valedictorian of his high school graduating class. He graduated from East Central with honors in 1948 and was inducted into Alpha Tau Alpha, Alpha Zeta and Phi Kappa Phi at Mississippi State University where he received his Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate Degrees. Dr. Tucker received a Kellogg Foundation Scholarship to study Junior College Administration at the University of Texas and has also attended graduate classes at the Un- viersity of Southern Mississippi. Dr. Tucker began his employment at East Central in 1951 as Vocational Agriculture Teacher and manager of the college farm. He assumed the position of Dean in 1961. He has also taught sociology at East Central and graduate courses in Educational Foundations and Junior College Administration tor Mississippi State. Prior to coming to East Central, Dr. Tucker served two years in the US Navy during world War ll and taught for two years at Denton High School in Yazoo county. Dr. Tucker has served as president of the local Faculty Club, president of the Dean's Association, President of the Decatur Exchange Club, Master of the local Masonic Lodge, and Chairman of the Deacons at the local Baptist Church. Professional affiliations held by Dr. Tucker included the local faculty organization, the Junior College Faculty Asso- ciation, the Miss. Junior College Faculty Association, The Miss. Junior College Dean's Association, the Miss. Associ- ation of School Administrators and the American Associ- ation of Community and Junior Colleges. For the past three years Dr. Tucker has been designat- ed by the college to work with the Alumni Association and to coordinate the annual homecoming activities. At the conclusion of this school year, Dr. Tucker will complete thirty-seven years on the staff of East Central, ten on the faculty and twenty-seven as Dean. No other person in the combined history of the Agricul- tural High School and the junior college has served longer, He is the senior member of the Miss. Public Junior College Dean's Association and the only charter member still em- ployed as a Dean. Truly, Dr. Brad Tucker is a Dean among Deans, and his love of students and his interest in their welfare have made him a friend of students for many years. 153 When Lucille Wood and Denver Brackeen played bas- ketball as students in the old gymnasium at ECJC during the early 195Os, they probably never in their wildest dreams imagined that some day a new modern physical education fa- cility would bear their names. But that is exactly what hap- pened when the physical edu- cation building was officially designated the Brackeen- Wood Physical Education Building on November 10, 1987, by the Board of Trust- ees. ln naming the building, the Board honored two people who have distinguished them- selves as outstanding indivi- duals and have brought honor to East Central Junior College. Brackeen, a General in the Miss. Army National Guard, was the first person to be in- ducted into the ECJC Athletic l-lall of Fame and was the first athlete at the college to be named All-American. Brack- een led EC's '52-53 basketball team to a fourth place finish in the National Junior College Tournament. He later was a Look Magazine All American at the University of Mississippi and was signed by the New York Knickerbockers. Return- ing to East Central as basket- ball coach, Brackeen led his teams to 137 wins against 52 losses before leaving the coaching field to become Dean of Students at East Cen- tral, a position he held until four years ago when he left to become Assistant Adjutant General for the State of Missis- sippi. Lucille Wood has estab- lished herself as the premiere coach in women's basketball in Mississippi junior college cir- cles, having been instrumental in bringing women's basket- ball to the forefront in the state. Coming back to ECJC in 1956 after receiving her Mas- u Brackeen-Wood . A New Name For A New Generation ters Degree from the Universi- ty of Southern Mississippi and after coaching for three years at Copiah-Lincoln Junior Col- lege, Wood worked tirelessly to establish junior college ten- nis as it is today and assisted in organizing intercollegiate women's basketball in the ju- nior college system. As a coach, she led her teams to four state championships and took her teams to Regional Tournament play six times. Women who played under Wood's tutelage have distin- guished themselves in many areas. Thirteen of her players went on to play in senior insti- tutions, and currently her for- mer players are coaches and teachers in such notable insti- tutions as Louisiana State Uni- versity in addition to a number , ,....-... ttf , - ,. ., 4 - 'F' of high schools. Since step- ping down as women's bas- ketball coach in 1985, Wood has been named Region 23 Di- rector for the NJCAA and to the Executive Committee of the Mississippi Junior College Association. She has been named ECJC Alumnus of the Year and was second inductee into the ECJC Athletic Hall of Fame. In years to come, students who enjoy the use of the Brackeen-Wood Facility will be reminded by the name of the building of the accomplish- ments of two of East Central's most outstanding alumni. The name will serve as an incentive to students who strive to live up to the examples set by these two individuals. ,,g,,w..f.. - - r.--We .,-. .

At least that's the opinion of ECJC students who spend a good portion of their time eat- ing, getting ready to eat, or talking about eating. Starting at 7 a.m. and con- tinuing throughout the day, the cafeteria, the student cen- ter, soft drink machines, dorm kitchens, and hot plates in rooms work overtime to keep the appetites of students sat- isfied.

Mr. Thrash takes time out from his busy schedule to grab a burger and fries from the student center. Deloris Mullin enjoys a snack in front of the sophomore dorm between classes. 156 the food service for East Cen- tral, indicates that food likes and dislikes of students have remained pretty much the same in the twenty years he has been at the college. They like the same basic things year in and year out, Lee stated. Fried chicken, steak, pota- toes, and salads remain among the favorites. During the warmer months of school, several cookouts are scheduled. Stu- dents wait in line for those flame- broiled burgers and other specialties. ,, t is ,six X X ,4- If , ' , 1. 1' ' ,-f W ' ,, ' ' ,I ., , :Z bf! 1 .
