Semesters Come And Go lt is a well-known fact that a person's most lasting friends are those he makes after he leaves high school. 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. A friendly hand with a necktie is indeed welcome. Bryne Drummond assists Rodney Murrell in getting ready for a picture as Darnell Clark looks on.

Dr. Eddie M. 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'
