li i' f Speaking of reading and riting Grammar study continues even in college. Gloria Tubb enioys teaching English. Students are engaged in planning a '79 trip to Hawaii with Ms. Maty Beasley. Whether a student is interested in studying the best that has been thought and said in the past or is interested in effectively communicat- ing in the present, the Humanities division is a great help in meeting the student's educational needs. Whatever career you enter in the future, you are bound to do it better if you have a good command of your native language and if you can express yourself well on paper and communicate your thoughts to others adequately. The English courses pro- vide help in basic grammar, theme writing and research. Courses in Eng- lish, American, or World literature are available to help provide a good foun- dation of outstanding writing and to hopefully give the student an appreci- ation of literature which can be added tolater. Speech classes provide the basics of communication and practice in applying the skills in classroom pres- entations. The reading labs are unique because of the individualized instruc- tion available. Aid in comprehension and help in speed reading is given. Another area of Humanities is in the foreign or modern languages. Since travel, business and political needs have made it necessary to speak the languages of other countries, more people are studying languages now than ever before. The philosophy and Bible courses are another major area of study. They meet twice a week and offer two hours of credit. All courses can be taken without prerequisites and are trans- ferable electives. ................L..l Humanities I 27

Christmas is the occasion for annual Home Economics tea Miss Mauree Thomas, retired Home Economics teacher, enioys visiting with Becky Green and old friends at JCJC. A particular highlight of the school year is the Christmas tea prepared and served by the Home Economics students, particularly those in the Meal Management class. Most of the participating students are Home Eco- nomics majors. The setting for the tea is the home of President and Mrs. Tis- dale. All the food is prepared by the stu- dents, who edit a cookbook at Christ- mas each year and give a copy to each departing guest. Faculty, members of the Board of Trustees, and retired fac- ulty members are guests. The Home Ec department also pre- pares refreshments for a tea later in the year for contestants in the beauty pageant and judges. The Home Ec club at JCJC is affili- ated with the state and national organ- izations. All Home Ec majors are encouraged to attend the Mississippi Home Ec Association convention. During the year the students partici- pate in the Heart Fund and March of Dimes drives and raise money through bake sales, a slave sale, and other means.
