4 I Opening The Year of the Cat The year of 1979, the last of the seventies, was proclaimed the Year of the Cat quite early in the year by the Student Association at JCJC. This optimistic outlook began to take shape, and the students made it fit. Student spirit rose, heightened by the events and activities of 1979 - a very special year. Over 2200 students registered for the fall quarter at Jones to pursue a variety of career interests ranging from medicine to music, from art to agriculture or data processing. They came, these students at JCJC, from places as distant as San Antonio and New York, from Alabama and Louisiana. Most of them lived near Ellisville and Jones County Jr. College. Over 1600 students lived near enough to make the trip to school and home again each day. Many managed to work as well. Although all of them came from dif- ferent backgrounds they shared a common purpose - to prepare for a future which would afford satisfaction and success. They found friends at JCJC and learned from each other, as well as from their studies - and what they discovered about themselves and their own potential was probably most important of all. Those who had cour- age and will enough to work hard, gained the most. f I i , -3 Up, up and away! Dr. Marie I If we only knew what was so funny, we could smile, too. -1
