Dear Student, IfI could hand you a diploma and tell you your education was completed, I would do you a grave injustice. In reality, your education has only begun. East Central High School has been your first milestone in your journey toward a full, successful life. It is my sincere hope that your educational experience at East Central High School will be a resource which will fortify you to meet life's opportunities. To a large extent, the growth and continued development of South Mississippi, the State, and the Nation depend upon your application of the principles and precepts delivered to you within these walls. Use them well - they will serve you well. M. H. MALLETTE Superintendent

Our Principal Mr. Nobles This year East Central wel- comed a new principal, Mr. Jerry G. Nobles. Mr. Nobles spent ten years at Forest County as a coach and a chemistry and biology in- structor. He also spent one year at Sand Hill Attendance Center, four years at Pearl River, and a year at Richton. This year we feel he improved our school a great deal. We not only found him to be an understanding principal, but also a very concerned person, and as we began to know him we grew to love him. When asked what he thought of our school, he stated, I LOVE IT. He says he is pleased with student attitude. He believes each student is beautiful and that the students alone have made his stay at East Central enjoyable. HE SPENT TEN YEARS AT ONE PLACE, LET'S HOPE IT'S TWENTY HERE! !
