First of all, I am reminded of the dedication and the untiring efforts of our fine faculty and staff. I also am re- minded of my pleasant association with you students. It is most gratifying to watch you mature socially, academically, and spiritually. We are justly proud that many of our graduates are successfully filling important positions across our nation and are thereby making worthwhile contributions to their fellowmen and to society. My firm belief is that you, too, will go out to accept the challenge and responsibility that is yours. Many of the facts learned in college are soon forgotten, but if you have gained direction and a true sense of values, then you will have accomplished much in the great process of education. Sincere good wishes to you in the years that lie ahead. Yours sincerely, ■ .a aAj sucj J President K. J. Marbour The EMJC family was greatly amplified this year by a large freshman class, newcomers to our fold whom we try to indoctrinate with a philosophy of service to mankind, a philosophy with a genuineness and integrity which we jealously think is peculiar to EMJC. We at EMJC sincerely believe that the way to a productive life is to be had only through an elevation of the immaterial life. Until this inner vision comes, until this spark disturbs our clod, there can be no appreciation of the scholar ' s life, friendship has no sweetness, material increase loses its gloss. With this in mind the annual staff of 1958-59 happily presents this yearbook to aid you in cherishing memories, and in holding fast to your friendships, those fragile abstractions that im- prove happiness and abate misery. Here is your Cion SHEILA COVINGTON, editor, who has de- veloped insomnia from trying to develop new ways to do old things. Dr. Annette P. Crickard, sponsor, who never bosses us but says, Could we do it this way? JERRY BEAVERS, photographer. When it comes to pictures we leave it to Beavers. With affectionate regard the annual staff has chosen to honor our band director, Mr. Crago. Not only has he exhibited interest in the music department, but in the general school welfare as well. It was Mr. Crago who avidly promoted the class in photography which demanded of the students active experience in the photographic laboratory. This addition to the curriculum has been felt in all the avenues of school publicity. He has generously contributed of his time to present the band in personal appearances throughout eastern Mississippi and west- ern Alabama. Praise has come from these areas extolling our band for its excellence of performance,— its marching precision, its anima- tion, and certainly its music. We gratefully dedicate this yearbook to Mr Qcne Crago BOARD OF TRUSTEES Kemper County Superintendent Chandler Land, Secretary DeKalb, Miss. W. S. Bridges Electric Mills, Miss. W. W.

These ies we can observe daily— in professional bearing, swering our queries about academic discipline, in accessibility. We like the way they express a ne interest in students as personalities rather than ics. We are proud of the generous • towards campus visitors. Friendli- ness of the sort found on our cam- pus has to start with the higher evel or it never finds expression in the student body. EMJC is a friendly, hospitable place.

Let me see now,— did he play that ace? This is the largest entering class in many a year and its members began very early to make themselves felt. They invaded the athletic programs, the cheering squad, the band, the singing groups; they won the cup on Stunt Night; they took dramatic honors; they won beauty contests; they were to be found on the honor roll, the newspaper, in the governing body. We are proud of our freshmen. Like the blossoms of the Spring— both of them green and growing— they renew and perpetuate our tradi- tions.

We owe much of our budding confidence to the problems and victories we meet in our organi- zations. Be it religious, group, drama, governing body, or a club augumenting a field of study- it helps us in growing up to adult activities. We learn the orderly way to conduct a meeting, how to build a program, and the give and take of re- specting another ' s opinion and being respected in turn. The organizations, in short, represent the student- managed side of college life. Student Council u traS THE STUDENT COUNCIL has been very busy this year. The council members have conducted all the student elections, sponsored a dance, backed the teams, repaired the flag-pole, and daily raised the flag, handled the basketball tournament, did a beautiful job of campus-wide Christmas decorations, and are currently carrying out a major campus beautification project. Under the direction of the Rev. Hollis Youngblood, the WESLEY group meets weekly; thus strengthening the spiritual life of the Methodist students on campus. Sending a delegate to the National Stu- dent Conference is but one of the many projects this small but active group hopes to accomplish.

THIRD ROW: Thcidus Glasgow, Roy York, Lincoln Lineberry, Vernon Veasley. The BSU Greater Council is composed of members of the BSU who work as a plan- ning committee for the group as a whole. This organi zation strives to bring the Church and Christ closer to the Baptist students and their friends through daily devotionals, Bible studies, and other BSU activities. Director of this group is the Rev. Jack Palmer. Pictured: FIRST ROW: Margie Goodman, Virginia Temple, Sheila Covington.

Their work is all pleasure for they have the opportunity to learn more about the wonderful world of books than most of us do. W.S.G.A. The Women ' s Student Gov- ernment Association is made up of resident fresh- men and sophomore girls who are chosen by ballot to the job of governing dormitory women, along with Dean Anderson. The male contigent will not soon forget that this year the dormitory girls gave a lovely evening party just for the on-campus men.
