She is a very warm and understanding person. She will be missed in years to come , because she retired this year . Mrs. Olga Hutcherson has put up with our cut- ting up . Shy in her own way but ready to serve . She has been with EMJC since 1956 . Mrs. Ruby Johnson has concern for our actions. She is the night shift worker. She hasn ' t been here as long, but she is loved just as much. These three ladies are probably the best known on campus, and undoubtedly will be loved and remembered long after we leave. We again thank you ladies for such a fine job and for just being here . m Top - Annual Staff Left - Mr. and Miss GTVTC Bottom - Who ' s Who Top Left - Student Council Top Right - Business and Office Occupations Side - Distribution and Marketing Bottom Left - Drafting and Design Bottom Right - Practical Nursing v7 V ■Si ' ■ V W w MM ■■L f a • J.

Reeves 1973-1976 60 Half Century of Progress The 1976-77 scholastic year marks the end of 50 years of continuous educational opportunities for the citizens of the East Mississippi Junior College District . This has been made possible through the contributions and efforts of the people of the supporting dis- trict: tax-payers, boards of supervisors, legislators, boards of trustees, past administra- tors, and students. Each has made a major contribution to the continuous growth and development of this institution . Education is a constantly changing process. In order to meet the challenges and respon- sibilities of today ' s society, the College is continually seeking new approaches to educa- tion while maintaining daily operations. In 1968, the College, recognizing the need for vocational-technical programs, established the Golden Triangle Vocational-Technical Center where many varied programs have provided thousands of students with education and training . Through the quality programs offered by East Mississippi Junior College - academic, technical, and vocational, graduates have made significant contributions to the socio- economic status of this nation , state , and district . The foresight and abilities of past presidents and faculties over the past half- century have provided the ground work for greater educational benefits in the future . Z l £ President 61 DEDICATION We, the students of GTVTC, proudly dedicate the 1976-77 year- book to faculty advisors Connie Pil- grim and Ed Pace .

The crystal water flows gently , hitting rapids seldom , while the waterfall reaches the bottom , and pure white foam adds more . Beauty surrounds all that see it, and touches the heart with love , while life and laughter , add to the excitement. A burst of happiness erupts , just as. the water , touching the end , foams wildly with grace . The mountain of life , entering man ' s mind, spreads joy and peace , to everything . - Tracy Whinery Mr. Schmidt, Schmidty, was a friend to everyone. A very kind and compassionate person, Schmidty showed us the true meaning of life and friendship. He will always stay in the hearts of those who knew him . 64 1- - WHO ' S W v 9 r ' -: - V r - • fc ■ •- .. • • % JL 65 Most Beautiful Most Handsome Kim Butler Brett Price 66 Beauty Beauty Hollie Compton Rendia Bennett 67 Beauty Beauty Donna Jo Harbour Rhonda Green 68 Beau Beau Matt Hodge Curtis Cole 69 Beau Beau Robert Walker Kim Smith 70 L .
