IP resident s Nl essage This I960 LION I know you will cherish. It will help to keep alive for you many of the challenging moments, the enriching experiences, and the fond memories of your college days at the East Mississippi Junior College. As I reminisce on the past school year, I feel a great sense of indebtedness both to the faculty and to the student body. You have shown genuine interest in the progress of our school, and you have been most helpful and co-operative in making this another successful year. There are those who would tell you that today is a day of unparalleled indecisiveness and that this is a bad time to embark upon a career in life. But I would say to you that this is a time that is rich in opportunity. Further, I would say to you that any time is a good time if we but know what to do with it. Your challenge will be great. You are indeed graduating at one of the most momentous periods in the history of all times. The future of our country lies in your hands. You must, therefore, apply the knowledge that you have gained; you must accept the respon- sibility that will be yours. My association with you has been both pleasant and inspiring, and it is with great sin- cerity that I wish for you the best in future years. Yours sincerely, 0Z.P$W6uo R. A. Harbour

We, the staff of the I960 LION, early last September, took upon ourselves the task of helping you preserve the memories of your year at EMJC. Remember ? — there ' s that teacher you thought you never would forget; the fellow who sat next to you in psych; the wide, repaved streets throughout the campus; the refuge from sun and rain of- fered by the new pavilion; the thrill of the beautiful dances in the gym; the spirit of discovery in the library; the new worlds opened up by the speakers in assembly; the Collegian ' s choice of monthly personalities; the wicked brother, the crazy brother, and the foolish sisters in the fall play; the cokes and checkers in Emmy ' s Den; the worries and frustrations of registration day; the lovely, lazy days of early spring; the student music recitals; the suspense of the voting in Who ' s Who; being measured for caps and gowns; in fact, — right down to the last walk down the aisle. Remember ! Perhaps we can help you in this by presenting some of your . memories in your LION 8
