The Presidenfs Message Itawamba Junior College has made remarkable progress in its physical facilities over the past ten years. When the junior college was established in 1948, there were only six build- ings on the campus. Since that time, approximately thirty additional buildings have been added to the campus. The old buildings were completely reworked or eliminated. In 1948, the assessed evaluation of the buildings and grounds was $286,472.86, according to the Mis- sissippi State Audit Department. In 1958, the assessed evaluation of Itawamba Junior Col- lege was $1,270,990.14, according to the Mississippi State Audit Department. This means that the assessed evaluation of the buildings and grounds at the end of the 1957-58 school term was more than $1,000,000.00. This shows that much progress has been made over the past ten years. This progress has been made by the complete cooperation of the people, the faculty, boards of supervisors, and trustees. It is hoped that more progress will be made during the next ten years.

The Deans Message Dear Students: The progress of Itawamba Junior College since September, 1948, has taken many forms. The two types of progress have been in the growth of student population and in the enrich- ment of the curriculum. In 1948 we opened the Junior College with a class of 114 students. This enrollment has grown to over 600 students. During the opening session we offered the following curricula in six fields: agriculture, business, preparatory for B.A. degree, engineering, home economics, and preparatory for the B.S. degree. Since 1948 we have added the following curricula: education, industrial educa- tion, music, band, and nursing. General education has replaced the preparatory for the B.A. and the B.S. degrees. The following technological courses have developed during this period: business technology, chemical technology, civil technology, industrial technology, and medical technology. Officials of the school are very grateful to all students, past and present, for your coopera- tion in the steady development of your Junior College. Sincerely yours, J. S. Crubaugh Dean of Itawamba Junior College
