ANNETTE P. CRICKARD ill (Jar J resident Although this is the first year that Mr. Harbour has served in the capacity as President of the East Mississippi Junior College, already gratifying changes in the campus and the curriculum are evident. We, the students, appreciate his vision for an enlarged and greater B.M.J. C. and his unflagging efforts in mak- ing that vision a reality. He has won the respect of the students for his unlimited enthusiasm, for his integrity of purpose, and for his sin- cere personal interest in the welfare of each student. We are glad to dedicate this page to our President— the man who in one year has made so many of our dreams come true. administration FRED FULTON Dean ANNIE E. ANDERSON Dean of Women A. L. OUBRE, JR.

However, since you request that we make a choice, Lucy and I have mutually agreed on Barbara Wood and Curry Palmer for their appearance and personality. We are returning the photographs and an autographed photograph for Barbara and Curry, and best wishes to all. Thank you for the honor of judging your contest.
