A Message From Tracy Chamblee SGA President Dear Fellow Smithies It has been an extreme pleasure to be your student body president for the 1988-89 academic year As positive young African-Americans we all possess dreams and wealthy am- bitions. These dreams eventually turn into goals and objec- tives which are attainable. The only ingredient that you need for success is belief in yourself. To the graduating class of 1989 I wish the best of luck. Remember to always believe in yourself when it seems that the world is on your shoulders. Remember that you re- ceived not only an academic education but an education on life during your years at good old J.C.S.U. Remember that once you achieve a goal in life allow m one to take it away from you. For some the road is just beginning while it is ending Jor others. To the Freshmen. Sophomores, and Juniors your dreams are just beginning Dream to lead and you will lead Dream to excel and you will excel Have faith in the creator and he will see you through become the trailblazers for our community and our race.
