To the Class of 1961: It is with mixed emotions, emotions of pride and of humility, that I address you. I am indeed proud of your recognitions and your ac- complishments, and I am deeply grateful for my enriching association with you. As you look back upon your college days at this institution, you are, I am sure, aware of the fact that you might have worked harder to gain other achievements. But of greater importance is the realization that you have, I feel, learned, with a profound degree of insight and of maturity, to think for yourselves, to accept the inevitable responsibilities which have been and which will continue to be thrust upon you. The character and the reputation of the East Mississippi Junior College are, as you know, molded and established largely by your actions and, as citizens, by your contributions to our ever-changing One World. Let us, therefore, seriously meditate upon our im- portant roles in life; and let us strive to do, and do well, that which will bring honor to ourselves, to our alma mater, to our country, and to our fellow man. When this kind of thinking and acting becomes habitually a part of us, then personal remuneration and self-satisfaction will follow, as does the dawn upon the night; and we shall, in turn, be happier and more successful individuals. My best wishes go with you. Yours sincerely, R. A. Harbour
