WHAT WE REMEMBER The cashier at the end of the registration line, the sleepless night before a major exam, the poor score on a daily quiz these are only a sampling of the crisis situations that cause any college student to question the wisdom of continuing his education. Mississippi College students get to confront these same problems, along with a few others peculiar to their institution, such as sneaking a girl back into the dormitory after curfew or computing how many chapel cuts can still be used. Probably no one has spent more than a semester at Miss. College without watching grades plummet, boyfriends or girlfriends depart or funds evaporate. Fortunately no one s college experience is composed solely of difficult circumstances, and in all probability few are even dominated by them. The triumph of receiving a high mark on a term paper that cost many hours of work, the exultation of participating in a rush production that came out just right, the thrill of watching the football team clinch its first conference championship-these experiences provide the framework over which the fragile fabric of good memories can be stretched. For the numerous Miss. College graduates who will establish their homes many miles from Clinton, these memories will fall away like autumn leaves caught in a winter wind. For others that remain in the area, remi- niscences will become mired in the ooze of familiarity. Hopefully, one day these alumni will get to return to the campus and one more glimpse of Nellie Bell telling the wrong time from her perch on Nelson Hall will open the floodgates of recollection. Unfortunately, it will not be until far away time that most alumni will look back to their college stage and realize that it was a time when they did not need to recall a good memory, for they were living one and just did not know it. How much better it would have been if they could have come to this realization when the people that fashioned that memory were still around. TABLE CONTENTS Events Organizations Administration 3 6 What We Remember Although academic pursuits may be the primary function of any institution of higher learning, no school can exist on studies alone. Events play an integral role in campus life— from the thrills of Homecoming to the agonies of Derby Day. It is the events that break the routine and give the college campus the spark of life. Fun, Excitement, Anticipation— The Events. EVENTS DERBY DAY The spirit of competition was alive and kicking on the 11th annual Derby Day. The day began with a spirited breakfast inthe cafeteria for all four tribes. After breakfast the tribes paraded to Alumni to be- gin the scheduled activities. All four tribes fought fiercely to retrieve a victory from Laguna, last year’s winners. Eventually, Nena- moosha shined above the rest to claim her first vic- tory in several years. Kissimee remained in second place for the second year in a row, Laguna trailed Kissimee for third place, and Swannanoa finished with the 4th place position. During a break in competition, the Derby Day Royal Court was presented with each tribe repre- sented. Mike Keeling represented Nenamoosha; consequently, he was crowned Derby Day Queen. Tom Alexander represented Kissimee, Randy Moore represented Laguna and Swannanoa was represented by Eddy Joe. Derby Day was sponsored by Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity. 10 (1) Gina Allen and Cindy Gregory com- pete in the final episode of the balloon stomp, (2) Delta Sig leads the parade to Alumni, (3) Lisa Gilmore and Beth Criss work out their battle plan, (4) Laguna measures their strength, (5) The finer sex?— Derby Day’s 1st Royal Court, (6) Debra Hudson concentrates in the water balloon toss, (7) Carla Morris jumps for the finishing line, (8) All four tribes “bite the dust as they grab for pennies in a pile of flour. 11 PAGEANT 1980 (1) The evening’s winners, (2) Magnolia Wade entertains the audience and judges, (3) Liz Applewhite and her friend, “Seottie,” (4) Becky Butler sings a medley of “Summertime” and “I Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man,” (5) Paula Johnson displays her many talents, (6) Contestants participate in swim suit competition, (7) Eve- ning gown competition, (8) The excitement of crowning the new Miss Mississippi College. i ygeani i.is un nLitW r.irrt r inn n ub.-« wrjpiiitMnn uua u ■ -oontestants « For Everyone Involved It’s “The Main Event” Atlantic City it wasn’t, hut to the 18 contestants and au- ditorium full of spectators, the 1980 Miss Mississippi Col- lege Pageant lived up to its billing as “The Main Event!” The weeks of training came to an end for the lovely con- testants as the judges watched their every step for two and a half hours before naming Cindy Malone as the suc- cessor to Janet McMurray. It’s the highest honor I’ve ever received,” replied Cindy after her rendition of “When You’re Loved” captured the audience and the title. But for the girls who didn’t get to take the walk down the walkway at the end of the evening’s festivities, the eve- ning wasn’t a lost cause. The alternates were: Karen Catt, first alternate: Lisa Merritt, second alternate; Becky But- ler, third alternate; and Liz Applewhite, fourth alternate. The pageant offered all the girls a chance to form friend- ships and memories which would never leave them, be- cause it was their efforts that made the pageant a success for everyone. However, it took more than beautiful girls and bright lights. Keith Hill sacrificed his dignity in order to keep the audience entertained while the girls changed clothes and the stagehands changed sets. And Marietta Pace re- ceived a rousing ovation when she sang Barbara Strei- sand’s hit song “The Main Event” to start the show. For everyone involved, the evening was a culmination of many efforts and the end of a dream. 13 HOMECOMING 1980 Entering the Eighties On Saturday, October 18, Homecoming Day began with a two- mile run, mother daughter and alumni receptions held by various tribes and alumni banquets. In the afternoon under a steady drizzle of rain the Homecoming Parade was held. Tradition held true as Nenamoosha began the parade riding the big red fire truck. The Mississippi College Band provided music as feature Choc twirler Patty Lewis marched to the beat. The Senior Class made special arrangement with Santa Claus to make a surprise appearance at the parade much to the crowd’s delight. As Delta Sig participated in the parade with their own limousine guarded by Secret Service men, the M.C. Lab School rode into the parade with a float full of squirming pre-schoolers. Kissimee Social Tribe captured first place in the float competition with a float which depicted an elephant holding a tiger in its trunk. Second place went to the cheerleaders with their flat that proclaimed, “Tigers Can’t Topple Our Teepee”, and Circle K took third place with their float and a truc k full of enthusiastic Circle K men. The Patio Show was moved to Nelson Auditorium due to the rain, and the crowd was entertained by the Naturals and the Mississippi Choctaw Band. 14 Opposite Page: (1) Britt McCarty and the rest of Circle K are fired up about Homecoming; (2) The fresh- man Class added their entry into the Homecoming parade; (3) Civ- itan “went for it” with their float; (3) Delta Sigma Pi, adds an extra air of dignity to the parade.

The Choctaws made a su- perb show as Super Star Carl Menist began the scoring with the first touchdown of the game. His act was followed by supporting stars, Mo Lyle, who forced four Tiger turn- overs into four touchdowns, Alvin Kidd who made a 16 yard touchdown run, Major Evertt who went 80 yards to score and Jim Turcotte and his happy feet made five PAT’s to boost the Choctaw score. The crowd was a blend of parents, alumni, students, girls with corsages, girls without corsages, clusters of girls, clus- ters of guys, clusters of dates and Circle K. Circle K under the direction of Michael Smith assisted the cheerleaders by leading their own pep rally throughout the game. As the Choctaws left the field with a halftime lead over Ouchita Baptist, the Halftime Show started as Freshman Maid Beth Barnes es- corted by John Gentry walked down the “50” yard line. A beaming Lisa Brabham, Soph- omore Maid, followed, escorted by Soph- omore Class President, Lance Presley. The Ju- nior Class was represented by Marietta Pace, who was presented by Kary Whitehead. Jane Goodwin was the Senior Maid escorted by Tom Washburn while Lisa Merrit, the Maid of Honor, was escorted by Mike Slaughter. The excitement rose and the crowds gave Ja- net McMurray, the 1980 Homecoming Queen, a standing ovation as she was escorted onto the field by SBA president Britt McCarty. Dr. Lewis Nobles crowned a tearful queen, the crowd cheered, and flags snapped as the Mighty Chocs came roaring back on the field for anoth er action-filled half. All too soon the game was over leaving the Choctaws with a victorious 35-10 lead over the Tigers. After the game the festivities continued as some students attended the party at Holiday Inn North while others went to Shoney’s for a free piece of strawberry pie. Even the cafe- teria was open later than usual. To some, Homecoming was the chance of a lifetime with the date of their dreams, to oth- ers, a night at Krystal. But to all Homecoming is a reflection of the past united with the present. A feeling of love and pride for M.C. that touches even the toughest heart. It was a day of thrills, victories, memories and rain. A day of renewing old friendships, visiting with friends and parents. A spirit that is uniquely Mississippi College. The day ended, the rain continued, and night fell as Homecoming 1980 came to a close. Alumni and parents drifted home and Home- coming 1980 became a memory. (1.) Homecoming Court: (2.)

Homecoming action RUSH The Social tribes’ pinks, greens, reds, and blues presented a spectrum of tastes for new female prospects as this year’s tribal rush ground on with its usual fervor. Actresses, musicians, and rush chairmen saw their hours and hours of planning and practicing come to reality during each tribe’s rush party— KT with their “Touch of Class”; ST with “Come With the Breeze” and “The Umpire Strikes Back”; NT with “Beyond the Rainbow”; and LT with “The Lucky Penny”. Rush offered a busy schedule for members and rushee s as well. During the hectic 6 weeks, each tribe courted the new girls with coke parties and favors in addition to those private conversations. Preference Day finally came and went and eager rushees scurried about trying to visit all the rooms of tribe members. Finally, rush was climaxed by the all-important Squeal Night. KT kicked off the rush parties with its presentation of “A Touch of Class” this year in Aven auditorium. After two days to recover from KT’s program, the rushees were introduced to Laguna Tribe through LT’s program en- titled “The Lucky Penny.” Despite many problems, Laguna, the place of belonging, was reached. Once again the dream place was found but this one had bears instead of mice with theirs “Beyond the Rainbow”. ST completed the four rush programs with the most unusual— the spoofs “Come With the Breeze” and “The Umpire Bites Back.” Galactic Discos, outhouses, and more were included in ST’s hilarious program which did receive a standing ovation. Rush came and went. Each pledge afterward wondering how to occupy all of the newfound time. Some realized that there was time for study- ing after all and others realized what classes they were in. All in all, though, Rush “80” proved to be nothing short of the usual fun and folly for everyone involved.

Some pompous upperclassman with a smug grin tells an eager group of fledgling Choctaws to go to Chapel Section 1, Row 9, Seat 3 and get a note off the seat for the first clue in the scavenger hunt, knowing full well that the rookie students will go scrambling off to Pro- vine Chapel instead of Nelson Auditorium. During the first semester, however, the fresh- man quickly becomes accustomed to Chapel and its bi-weekly rituals. Climbing through a forest of knees, notebooks and overcoats; keep- ing eyelids open during a particularly tiresome address; scribbling to finish a third period homework assignwork; whistling during that spiritual high light of the semester, the Model- ing Show— all these memories flood back whenever an exempt senior reminisces about Chapel. Of course, there is not experience comparable to the December discovery that one has missed one too many Chapels, unless it is a senior’s May realization that he forgot to take the English Proficiency Exam. 20 Fortunately, the less than inspiring moments in Chapel are bal- anced by intermittent humorous announcements and occasional dynamic speakers. Incredibly, every once in a while a Chapel pro- gram produces enough comments to make even the most apathetic senior say, “I wish 1 had been there. Chapel has one other position characteristic, as least as far as the administration is concerned if students didn’t have Chapel to complain about, they might start grumbling about the food in the Cafeteria. 21 SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT WEEK The week of February 2-5 was Spiritual Enrichment Week at Mississippi College, and the 1981 theme was Ordinary People.” Thanks to the organizational efforts of the steer- ing committee headed by Clark Stewart and Tracy Pea- cock, MC students were able to hear a variety of speakers address topics ranging from confusing cults to career choices. The diversity of personalities on the campus was obvious; the group included a musician, Wayne Watson; a seminary professor, Dr. Thomas Starkes; a pro football team chaplain, Rev. Tony Evans; a pastor, Dr. Altus New- ell; a former foreign missionary, Mrs. Marjorie Kelly; and a medical doctor, Dr. David Vanlandingham. Reverend Ev- ans began the week in Monday’s chapel by calling for Christians to go to a higher power in order to put their Humpty Dumpty world back together. For those who went to the Monday night BSU “Gathering,” Wayne Wat- son provided a memorable evening of music and testion- ary. Tuesday’s chapel featured Dr. Starlees telling how a Christian’s best offense against cults is to put Christ’s love in action. In Wednesday s chapel with Mrs. Kelly, students witnessed firsthand the potential for emotional explosive- ness when Christianity and Islam come into confrontation. Dr. Newell closed the chapel on Thursday with the prom- ise that Christians would find the strength to be extraordi- nary in the midst of the ordinary. A full schedule of semi- nars, classroom visits and dormitory discussions provided students with other opportunities to hear how they could explore their “ordinariness.” Hopefully, talking about ex- pressions of the Christian life that often fall into disuse renewed the realization that God’s power gives people the strength and the will to be extraordinary. 22 BAPTIST STUDENT UNION This year will be remembered by the Baptist Student Union as one of its most successful and productive years ever. Under the exceptional leadership of Bradley Pope, Director, and Eric Holleyman, Asst. Director, the BSU provided many opportunities for student interac- tion and growth as well as many opportunities to reach out to the community and serve. Once again the BSU considered as its main purpose the promotion of fellowship, spiritual growth, and community service through mission projects and social outreach. The year started as usual with the annual fall retreat to Paul B. Johnson State Park. The retreat was excellent and it set the precedent for all upcoming BSU activities. At the first regular meeting the BSU witnessed its largest crowd ever in Provine Chapel. During the semester the BSU programs featured such noted personalities as David Meece, Grady Nutt, and Bill and Linda Cates. The programs were lined up under the impeccable leadership of the program chairman, Tammy Potter. Kimbrough Simmons and Jeff Keyes did an unprec- edented job of organizing and implementing family groups and growth groups. These family groups and growth groups provided students with the opportunity of getting in touch with both themselves and each other. Much of the BSU’s immediate success was due to the hard work of Janet Strange, enlistment and involvement chairman, and Vicki Kuyrkendall, communications chairman. The second semester was every bit as successful as the first. Probably the biggest event was Spiritual Enrichment Week. February 2-5 were the dates, and the week featured speakers such as Dr. Tommy Starkes, Tony Evan, Dr. David Vanlandingham, Mrs. Earl Kelly, Dr. Altus Newell, and Wayne Wat- son. The second semester continued with programs and family growth groups which possessed a quality equal to that of any before. Throughout the year many projects were undertaken to raise money to support these student missionaries, which will be serving in home and foreign missions. In taking the Christian commitment seriously, the BSU has as- sumed many roles and responsibilities. By reflecting trite religious trappings and, at the same time, discarding an atmosphere of self-rightousness, the BSU has touched the heart of true religion ... a religion for serving others as well as the spiritual consciousness of individ- uals. 25 SHAKESPEAREAN FESTIVAL An event looked upon with great anticipation and interest each spring is the Shakespearean Festival. Last spring s festival start- ing off with the film “Doctor Faustus’’ starring Richard Burton. Dr. George Pittman, Head of the English Department and Mis- sissippi College’s leading authority on William Shakespeare, pre- sented a brief lectu re before the showing of the movie. Next Renaissance Sacred and Secular Music was performed by the Mississippi College Madrigal Singers with Dr. James Glass di- recting. Students, faculty, and visitors were treated to music and scenes from some of Shakespeare’s plays. An added treat to 1980’s spring Festival was the workshop and performance by the professional Shakespearean comedy “As You Like It.“ With this performance, the third annual Shake- speare Festival ended. 26 The fourth annual fall Shakespearean Festival highlighted the month of October with the return of the New Shakespeare Company of San Francisco in “The Merchant of Venice.” Nelson Hall was the setting for this leading comedy of Shake- speare’s, which imports Christian overtones along with its powerful theme. This talented troop of Shakespearean play- ers were directed by Margrit Roma.

The man responsible for the most part in providing these activities was SBA president Britt McCarty. Numerous concerts were planned and scheduled during the fall and spring semesters. They included one on Sept. 15 in Nelson auditorium with David Meece and Bruce Hibbard sponsored by the BSU, Dallas Holmes in November and the Bill Gaither Trio in March. Students who eat in the cafeteria witnessed some of the activities planned. Commedian Steve Gibson added much ne ed- ed excitement to the cafeteria food with his pointed wit and artistic ability on the overhead projector. Some films that were shown this year were “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “Family Plot,” “Going in Style,” and “House Calls.” The 2nd annual Spring Fever Week was held in March. The SBA was not only concerned with providing activities for the students on campus, but also being aware of students needs. (John Paul Travis) Class of Clashes This year’s clash of classes proved to be a most enjoyable event as the seniors retained the title they won last year as juniors. The seniors claimed 29 points in the annual event held behind Whit- tington Dorm to post a lopsided victory over the juniors, sopho- mores, and freshmen. The juniors finished second with 23 points while the sophomore and freshman classes each totaled 22 points. The judges charged with the responsibility of keeping a sem- blance of order over the events which included a tug-of-war, a three legged race, a pie eating contest, and several other outland- ish events. The judges were Betty Lamb, Dr. Bill Stark, Nancy Myers, and Kay Richarson. Coaching the sophomore, junior, senior, and freshmen teams were Lance Presley, Kary Whitehead, Britt McCarty, and Tom Washburn. The “Clash” was originated a few years ago to unite the classes and to develop new friendships. J b. ' Su ' r . as i Picture above — Simeon Nix in the balloon catch; Below — Fight- ing for pennies?

The beanies were gone, retired to the book- store storage room for at least a year. In their place appeared yellow “choc’s” visors. These freshmen were also blessed by being allowed the privilege of carrying Tomahawks. The toughness of the group was best de- scribed by the Ziggy Indian on their T-shirts. On the day innocent freshmen appeared on the MC campus, they came from all over the world, some as near as Clinton some from as far as Korea. They all had one thing in common, for soon they were to become Tom s Tomahawk Toters. The churches around Clinton and Jackson did their part to welcome the new chocs by having different events for the Freshmen — First Clinton, First Jackson, North- side, Calvary, Morrison Heights, and Parkway Baptist Churches all opened their doors to the Tomahawk Tot- ers with special events. The special campus events are the ones it will be hard to forget years from now. Al- though sometimes sparsely attended, those present al- ways had fun. Spring Fever Week, sponsored by the Student Activities Board of Mississippi College, April 21-29. The Week, also known as Alex- ander’s exit, is modeled after “Dixie Week’’ at State and Ole Miss. Highlighting the week began a day of no classes on Thursday, April 24, and a concert which was later cancelled. The week began with the piano duet of Harding and Shell perform- ing in Aven Auditorium. On the following night, the fourth and final film in the continuing series of “Whatever Happened to The Human Race’’ was presented in Nelson Auditorium. And on Wednesday night the movie “The Apple Dumpling Gang’’ was shown also . Thursday’s activities began with coed competition in the morning. The competition included such things as greased pig races and pie eating contest. Breakfast on Thursday was served from 7:00 until 9:30 and lunch was served on the patio from 1 1 :30 till 1 :00. Immedi- ately after lunch the special entertainment of the day began. The “Martha Brings ’em Back Show’’ performed. The nationally known act, which has appeared on the Johnny Carson show and other nationally televised programs. Supper Thursday night was served on the patio also. The meal was a genuine “luau’’ with roast pigs and all the works.

Dallas Holmes and Praise performed in the A.E. Woods colise- um. The SBA and Spring House associations were proud to pre- sent one of the top and most respected Christian performers today. His concerts are similar to church services and contain a message about true Christian love. Truitt Williams performed the Friday before Homecoming on the patio to help start the Homecoming festivities. They are pictured in the second picture in column one. Steve Gibson entertained a full house in the cafeteria with cartoon drawing on the overhead projector. He is pictured to the left. Cindy Nix, a former student also performed in the cafeteria singing and play- ing the piano. David Meece and Bruce Hibbard performed in the Nelson Auditorium — sponsored by SBA, he is pictured at the bottom left. Local groups from Jackson such as First Jackson’s contemporary religious group performed on the patio last spring. Royal Lightenstein Ringling Brothers Circus on Mississippi College campus, not quite, but the Royal Lightenstein Circus was. Four talented young men dressed in white stocking and a colorful jacket, performed tricks of magic, daring swings on a high rise bar, triple juggling, swallowing fire, and every animal trick that any big circus would perform. They did not perform under a big tent, but in the middle of the quad, on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Not only did they perform for MC students, but for elementary students in the nearby area. This event was sponsored by our Student Body Association. Top left A triple juggling act. top right Walking barefoot up a fight of swords? Across I think his dog needs a push.

The orientation sched- ule was too full to include this fun event, so it was put off until Oct. 2. Some of the events were a cakewalk, a hang- ing, a baloon burst, a football throw, a kiss- ing booth, and many many more. Twenty or more clubs participated, making it a suc- cessful event. The patio was crowded from 5 until 7:30 with people who had won some great, some not so great prizes. There were several faculty members came and partici- pated. Many of these took a use to help a club raise some money. It was fun to throw an egg at an administrator or dunk a teacher in a pool of water. What We Remember All people carry within themselves a deep desire to belong and a variety of organizations at Mississippi College give students a chance to fulfill that need. Motives for joining clubs and societies range from religious to academic and from pre-professional to so- cial, while attitudes toward them vary between absolute apathy to total involvement. Unintelligible initiations, perpetual meetings, grandiose projects, hearty fellowship— The Organizations.

CIVITAN Service is the primary objective of the Mississippi Col- lege Collegiate Civitan and the members have found many different ways to achieve this goal. Painting the Robinson Field press box and constructing a new swing on Mary Nelson Hill were two of their on-campus ac- tivities. Meanwhile, the club raised over $1,000 for the Mississippi Lung Association with its annual Spirit Run to the Mississippi College-Livingston football game and sponsored a blood drive in conjunction with United Blood Services. Civitan also found time to work with individuals through the Clinton Community Christian Corporation and the Special Olympics. With its variety of opportunities, Civitan provides an excellent way to develop friendship, fellowship, and leadership while meeting needs on campus and in the community.

Left: “Okay gang — let’s show them what we’re made of.” Below left: Circle K’s latest service project, painting all the benches on campus, well maybe not all. Circle K is one of two men’s service clubs on campus. Under the leader- ship of President Michael Smith and sponsor Dr. Bill Stark, the club exper- ienced one of its best years. Circle K excelled in spirit during foot- ball season, winning the megaphone at Friday pep rallies and leading stu- dent body spirit from the stands dur- ing games. The Circle K men also took their spirit to the field to win a flag football game against Civitan. Circle K s team also played an “exhibition’’ game against the boys at Baptist Chil- dren’s Village. The club continued to take an active role in campus life through meaning- ful service projects. Projects included two blood drives, painting of the benches in the quad, repairing of the visitor’s stands at Robinson Field, and the annual wheelchair push for Multi- ple Sclerosis. 53 t SWANNANOA Though small in size Swannanoa has always been big in the eyes of its members. Their enthusiasm and work has brought much imspiration to our campus. They begin helping the students by having many bake sales and their concern for people continues to expand as they participate in the Easter Seals Telethon. Yet, being a Swannanoa member also means having to work very hard for what you want and often doing more than your fair share. Because of this and the dedication of all the girls involved, Swannanoa is always considered a strong contender in the many activities on campus.

LAGUNA The water lily is the Laguna’s flower; her colors, blue and white. The Laguna Tribe strives to use the flowering potential of each member and to employ it to the fullest benefit. This potential is improved through the many activities within the club which creates fellowship between its members. By working in her tribe she participates in activities that strengthen her socially, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Thus, in the end the purpose of the Laguna Tribe (providing girls with a well- rounded social life) is achieved as the girls develop poise, personality, grace, leadership, and Christian ideals.

Her flower, the pink carnation, inspires her lofty ideas; and her colors, pink and silver, proudly point to these words: “Even moonlight beams never will out — gleam their lovely Kissimee girl ...” The motto, “To be beautiful, rather than to seem beauti- ful,” has been uppermost in the hearts of the members. Kissimee s attain this goal through many activities. In past years, these activities have included: fall and spring lun- cheons, Christmas parties, spring picnics, House parties on the Gulf Coast, hayrides, distributing food to needy fam- ilies at Thanksgiving, and sponsoring a Faculty Apprecia- tion Day. Besides the many parties the club sponsors, var- ied programs such as bridal consultants, etiquette forums, make-up artists, hair stylists and style shows have been featured at the meetings in the past. Presently, KT has held their fall formal which captured the western style. The rush party consisted of a formal dinner theatre presented by the Kissimee members and their beaus.

The activities of NT are many and varied, but they all contribute to the development of personality, leader- ship, and character of each member. This year NT accepted the largest number of pledges, becoming the largest social tribe on MC’s campus. The theme of Nenamoosha’s formal this year was “The Fifties”. The evening was highlighted with a skating party followed by a sock hop. NT’s colors are red and white. Their flower is the red rose, and the teddy bear is their mascot.

These officers, together with representatives elected from the dormitories, co-operate with the ad- ministration in promoting well ordered con- duct among the students and enforcing the leg- islative of the college, as well as those of the students. The Association functions through its executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

They render judgment about the validity of the charges and will recommend a decision of guilty or not guilty which must be approved by their superiors. In the event a guilty decision is made the person violating the rules will receive a warning, warning probation, disciplin- ary probation, disciplinary suspension, or disciplinary dis- missal. All efforts are taken to prevent suspensions or dis- missals by working through floor counselors. Floor Managers, Dormitory Managers and Dormitory councils.

These cases often include girls who have not abided by the general rules of no smoking, no drinking, no visitations to the men’s dorms, and no braking of curfews. Decisions made are ruled by The Associate Dean of Student Affairs (Women) and she sends the decision to the girl. In most cases warnings are enough to influence the girls to conform to the rules. At times a harsher course must be taken and suspensions or even dismissals are decreed. Each girl is given a chance to defend herself and the proceedings are just, but once a decision is made, “it will be enforced.’’ 65 SENATE Row 1.

The Collegian editor, photo editor, and business manager are se- lected by the school’s publications council. The rest of the staff is made up of volunteers who are interested in scholastic journal- ism. In addition to writing most of the articles which appear in the COLLEGIAN, the staff is responsible for the layout, design, and pasteup of the paper. TRIBESMAN The TRIBESMAN is a representation of the col- lege year in pictures. Much work and time is consumed making this collection of memories as meaningful on paper as the events were in reali- ty. The members of the staff are students inter- ested in the yearbook, who give of their time and talents voluntarily. Due to the cooperation of all the students and faculty and the advising of Janet Lee, we feel that this yearbook gives a true reflection of campus life.

College stu- dents now feel its attraction. Many different people endure long hours of practice in order to exhibit their skills for a few minutes while representing their classmates on the field or on the court. Monotonous drills, verbal abuse, nervous anticipation, superb ac- complishment— the Sports.

The Mississippi College Choctaws’ 1980 football season attested to that fact. After taking the GSC by surprise in 1979 to win their first ever GSC Championship, the Choctaws found everyone ready for them as they tried to defend their title. The first game of the season saw Jacksonville State avenge a 17-7 loss from last year by defeating MC 51-14. The Chocs came home a little humbled, but it would take more than a Gamecock to keep them down. After a two week vacation, the Chocs took to the road again, this time traveling to Southern Arkansas. Kicking and scratching, they pulled out a narrow win, saddling the Muleriders with a 10-7 loss. Wade Farris sets the offense for a play. 94 ■ Major Everett and Alvin Kidd celebrate a touchdown. MC’s celebration, though, was cut short by the number 3 ranked Division II team in the nation, Troy State. The Chocs suffered a 30-0 loss and once again found themselves on the losing end of the seesaw. Picking themselves up, the Chocs posted two straight victories. First defeating all-time rival Delta State 10-7, they char ged into Homecoming Week and came out the 35-10 victor over Ouachita Baptist. By the midpoint of the season, the Chocs had posted three wins against two losses, but the record leveled off after falling short of UT-Martin 30-27. Their last victory of the season came with a surprise win over Livingston. The Chocs compiled 28 points to the Tiger’s 8. The Choctaws ended their season on the short end of the scoreboard, losing their last two games 22-40 to N.E. Louisiana and 22-28 to North Alabama. Coach William’s thinks he better think about it. Carl Menist catches the flying pigskin. 95 When the dust cleared . . “We came off an outstanding season, last year, with good expectations,” comments Head Coach John M. Williams. “But after all the dust had cleared, we wer- en’t as good as we thought, and the competition was much better than what we had expected.” The Mississippi College Choctaws compiled a 4-5 win oss record this year. “We lost one game we should’ve won,” says Coach Williams, “but the other losses were to teams we should’ve lot to.” Next year Coach Williams expects a good bit of im- provement out of his offensive team. “They made a good bit of progress during this year and we lost only three starters.” The defense is a different story, though. Coach Wil- liams loses several key players and says next year will be a period of “rebuilding”. MC fans should be pleased with the Choctaw schedule for 1981. The Chocs will host five home games, taking to the road only four times. top right Coach Williams calls a sideline conference. bottom right Jim Turcotte puts 3 on the board. bottom left Major Evertt slips away from Delta defenders. 96 JJb top left Britt McCarty takes the traditional Bell from Delta State. top right John Gibson fills the team with spirit. middle Choctaws prepare to enter the battlefield. bottom right Somebody turn off the rain. bottom left Warren Conway lets everyone else have a chance to play 97 top right Major Everett gains yardage behind Carl Menist blocking. left Let’s get fired up, You People. bottom Mighty Choc- taws watch the action. 1 Brent Wroten DB So. 7 Carl Menist WR Sr. 8 Kenny Wright WR Sr. 9 Maury Hill DB Jr- 10 Timmy Coats QB Fr. 11 John Gibson SE Sr. 12 Bill Gray WR Fr. 14 Wade Pharis QB So. 15 Tommy Nester QB Fr. 16 Lee Brooks WR Fr. 18 Larry Osbrink P Jr- 20 Alvin Kidd RB Fr. 22 Garfield Turner RB Fr. 23 Marcus Harper DB Sr. 24 Michael Kincaid WR So. 25 Ben Tullos DB Fr. 26 Mike Lee DB Jr- 28 Major Everett RB So. 30 Charles Selmon DB Sr. 32 Lawrence Jones RB So. 33 Keith Rowell DB Sr. 36 Allen Holbrook LB Sr. 40 Mark Hasty FB Fr. 41 Paul Meyerchick DB Fr. 42 Daryl Posey RB So. 45 Jim Turcotte K So. 50 Jimmy Price C Sr. 51 Mike Ricker DE So. 53 Thomas Dean C Fr. - 54 Warren Conway NG So. 56 Greg Wilkins LB Fr. 58 Robbie Crosby RB Fr. 59 Howard Jones LB So. 50 Gary Reed OL Jr. 61 David Virgil LB Sr. 52 Jimmy Clarke OL Jr. 53 Scott Chumbley NG So. 54 Aubrey Grant OL Fr. 55 Dennis Cato LB Sr. 56 Allen Kirk OL So. 70 Keith Garner DT Fr. 71 Wayne Frazier OL Fr. 72 Keith Rountree DT Sr. 73 Bruce McGee OL Jr. 74 A1 Jones OL Jr. 75 Robbie Mahaffey OL So. 76 Russell Blankenship DT So. 77 Kenny Green DT Sr. 78 Toby Melton DT So. 79 James Rigney OL Jr. 60 Sam Jackson DE Fr. 61 Mitchell James TE Jr. 64 Mickey Stokes TE Jr. 65 Gay Ion Stockman DE Fr. 66 Elbert Lyles DE Sr. 67 Tracy Henry DE Sr. 68 Chester Johnson WR Jr. k (SULK, ‘ Tracy Henry, Dennis Cato and Kenny Green practice “bench and concen- tration.” Jimmy Clarke takes a breather. MC CHEERLEADERS The broiling August sun of the summer of 1980 scorched the football team as they sweated through two-a-day, but there was another group of MC students that was simultaneously sweltering through hard practices in preparation for the fall gridiron action: the Mississippi College cheerleaders. The coo- peration and esprit de corps that were so evident in the au- tumn were built up through long hours spent at Memphis State Cheerleading camp and late evening practice sessions. Out of all this came cheers that covered a whole range of skills, from the craziness of Linda West’s “Rooster’’ and Bob Waller’s “Aye Aye Aye Aye” to the complexity of a triple- decked pyramid. A football schedule with six road games meant that the cheerleaders had to spend many hours on the road. The monotony of the ride was often broken by “disco in the van” and “rockin’ down the highway. Two questions that plagued every trip were Jim Lee’s Bob, did you get the megaphones” after leaving Clin- ton and Vicki Best’s “Did you get a receipt” after every oieal. Back on campus, the cheerleaders infused the student body with their own special brand of excite- ment with pep rallies, spirit competitions and frisbee showers. The basketball team received the same strong support in the winter months; every time-out brought the squad on the court to root the Choctaw fans. Maintaining a high level of enthusiasm in all circum- stances is a tough assignment, but the 1980-81 Mississip- pi College cheerleaders were equal to the task. Their optimism kept showing in both good and bad situations. Perhaps their spirit of perserverance was best shown at the last football game against North Alabama. A cold rain was falling, the underdog Chocs were losing, and the drenched fans were leaving, but the whole squad was delivering cheers as if the GSC crown was just around the corner. It was a show of heart that may have Been the finest moment of a consistently exceptional squad. top 1st Row— Bob Waller, Rob Walker, Scott Tynes, Mike Keiling, Ful- ton Thompson, Jim Lee, 2nd Row— Linda West, Glynda Blackwell, Mi- chelle Albitton, icki Best: 3rd Row — Shelly Martin, Cindy Williams, Bottom right Pep Rally action with the MC Band providing music. 101 MC MARCHING BAND Music Makers Low in quantity, the MC Band made up in high quality. Composed mainly of music majors, the Marching Choctaws executed quarter notes with style and professionalism. Direct- ed by Dr. John Hanberry the band put together halftime entertainment while the football team took a rest. Guiding the Marching Chocs on the field as well as the Homecoming and the Homecoming and Christmas parades were Senior Drum Major, Tammy Potter and the 1979 International Twirling Champion, Patti Lewis. After marching through first semester, the band takes it easy the second half of the year. Playing in place, the Jazz Ensem- ble and Concert Band execute Choctaw harmony. The Jazz Band performs at some basketball games and travels to sur- rounding high schools for concerts. above Feature Twirler — Patti Lew- is; right Drum Major — Tammy Pot- ter, bot. left Rifle Corps — Becky Sanders, Nancy Conner, Beverly Eaves, Captain — Cheryl Ward; bot. right Flag Corps — Cindy Nollin, Sordia Carr, Cathy Wall, Lisa Fer- guson, Captain — Lisa Broadaway, Holly Thompson, Mary Ann Walk- er. 102 Top left Dr. John Hanberry, gives the band some rhythm: left A Thursday afternoon practice before the game: low- er left Marching in the Clinton Christ- mas Parade; lower right MC band leads the way in our Homecoming parade; bottom Music adds spice to the Pep Ral- lys on Friday at 10:00.

They ran away with 2nd place in the Gulf South Conference and then pulled out a fourth place finish in the Region. The pride of the Cross Country team was a little Injun named Tony Farris. When the dust cleared Tony was named all GSC, finishing 4th, plus All American with a 22nd place finish. Whoever said Freshmen can t follow directions, tell Tony Farris. He was the first freshmen to cross the finish line in the NCAA II division race.

Under the direction of Coach McMillan, the 1981 tennis team had four returning players having only lost one member and added two transfers from Milsapa and East Jr. College. This group has shown improvement over the years and have constantly attempted to make the team a more competitive one. The guys’ enthusiasm was displayed through many hours of practice, but their hard work was compensated with many good times which added much to their game. So far this season the chocs have beaten Millsaps and Delta State for the first time in several years. Having placed 4th in GSC last year, hopes and enthusiasms are high for a first place victory. Pat Penton, senior member, placed fourth in singles in the GSC. This year will be held this year at North Alabama. 106 SOCCER Schedule Sept. 13 Open Away Sept. 20 Jackson State There Sept. 27 Miss.

Kneeling — William Herald, Trainer; Randy Clemens, Asst. Coach; Dr. Doug Hines, Head Coach; and Mike Chambless, Manager. With the anticipation of the upcoming season the Choctaws waited anxiously for the middle of Octo- ber to arrive and practice to begin. The addition of three Junior College transfers proved to be of value as the season progressed (David Little, Curtis String- fellow, Felix Johnson). After an impressive start the Choctaws found themselves undefeated after seven, including wins over local rivals Belhaven and Mill- saps and intrastate rival William Carey. January 1st, came and the Choctaws were on the road to Arkansas which proved to be detrimental to their record returning home with two losses. Another road trip and two more losses the Choctaws came home to defeat Baptist Christian only to prepare to be on the road again this time to nationally ranked, conference foe Jacksonville State University. Because of an injury in the opening play against Baptist Christian, Anthony Hicks was side lined for three weeks. Without Hicks and the disadvantage of playing on road the Choctaws returned from what turned out to be the worst performance ever (no fault of their own), out scored, but never out classed. 110 - After a close game with Jacksonville at home tha Choc- taws were ready to face Delta State. Rising to the occa- sion the Choctaws performed well enough to win 56-53. With eight games remaining before the GSC tourna- ment and the welcomed return of Anthony Hicks, the Choctaws had what is took for a top performance against Conference foe. In retrospect for Seniors — Mike Hurst, Richard Garri- son, Cheyene Puckett, and “Catman” a GSC champion- ship or a berth to regionals would have been welcomed, for the others, they wer complacent knowing next year would come none too soon.

The Lady Chocs ended last season with a 22-8 re- cord, and started this season off with a lot of spirit and desire to improve. The loss of Rowanna Pope, an all regional player and the good leadership of Katie McKee. Some key positions had to be filled this year. Coach Durward Smith had a dedicated group of girls prepared for this season throughout the hot summer months. With Karen Cox, Angela Bello, Lisa Bridg- man and Betsy Walsh as starting returnees, and good back up from Sandy Rieger, Cassandra Powell, Regi- na Ginn, Veronica Griffin, Celia Meeks, and Becky Sinclair, the team got off to a good start but stumbled a little as the season wore on. The Lady Chocs’ record does not do them justice. The depth, character, and talent of the team is far greater than the win-loss tally would indicate. Their season record now stands at 13-8 overall and 3-2 in the NAIAW. There are six more games left before the NAIAW State Tournament, which will be held at Mississippi College. This fall it was announced by Coach Smith that the Lady Chocs would be renamed the Frierson Lady Chocs in honor of Mrs. Pete Frierson who had given her whole-hearted support to the team. 114 Basketball Schedule Nov. 18 William Carey College There Nov. 22 Louisiana College There Nov. 24 Miss.

Glenda Hollyeman is beginning her third year as assistant basketball coach and head tennis coach.

Last year’s record of 16-26 does not adequately show the momentum that the program has gained over the last couple of years. The changing of coaches in midstream did not harsh- ly effect the Choctaws as Coach Don Shelton did an excellent job. Coach Skelton took over after Coach Bill Pervy resigned at the end of the fall semester before the 1980 season. Coach Skelton re-shaped the 1980 Choctaws and for a while seemed to be a threat to make a run at the GSC leaders. But several key conference losses on the road dimmed the chances for a strong finish in the conference standings. The Choctaws coaching staff did an excellent job of recruiting players for positions that needed to be filled to insure the success of the program. Coach Skelton signed Bill Myrick, the states’ top high school baseball player and several other top notch all-state performers. This recruiting will help the Choc- taws as they form a nucleus for the future. This 1981 season could be the turning point for the baseball program at Missis- sippi College. The tough 54 game schedule could propel the Chocs into a strong position to compete in the GSC and in NCAA Division II baseball. 118 I i I � wt The coaching staff consisting of Hea d Coach Don Skelton, Asst.

At Mississippi College, the men and women of the faculty combine their academic talents with a personal in- terest in the individual to stimulate the process of learning. They are a rare asset, and the student body appreciates them deeply. Instructive lectures, changing tests, helping hands, a sympathetic ear— The Administration ADMINISTRATION ADMINI- STRATION Dr. Lewis Nobles, president of Mississippi College is a man of many accomplishments, but few students at MC really know much about their president. Even though he and his wife are seen at football and bas- ketball games or at many social functions, students only see him as an administrator. He is quite talented and very up-to-date concerning current issues. After receiving his degree in pharmacy, master of science, and doctorate in philosophy, he has authored more than 80 technical papers in scientific journals and co- authored a textbook in his field. He was responsible for the development of a chemical, propoguin dilhy- drochloride which is used in the treatment of malar- ia. He has received recognition for his ability such as the distinguished Rho Chi award and the American Pharmaceutical Association. i left Dr. Charles E.

The course of study in the school is based on the realization that education for business, business education, office administration, accounting, economics, public adminis- tration or marketing is a life-long process, and that the School can make its greatest contribution to the process by teaching the disciplines which underlie the practice of business. Details of current business practice, though important, can best be taught by business itself and learned through experience. The tech- niques, processes and procedures used in the everyday world soon become obsolete; but a trained mind that is disciplined, reflective and analytical is never out of date. Therefore, the School of Business and Public Administration seeks to provide the best possible foundation for the development of trained minds and mental attitudes that result in a lifetime of education.

The modern, five-story building, lo- cated at 151 E. Griffith Street, was conveyed by deed by the United Gas Pipe Line Com- pany on July 2, 1979. The building is sitauted near the heart of state and municipal govern- ment and is within a few blocks of the Missis- sippi Capitol complex, including the Supreme Court, the State Law Library, and the federal, state and municipal courts. The building, with an estimated replacement value of $4.5 mil- lion, is adaptable to the requirements of the law school. The law school building was renovated during the spring of 1980 and the library addition is under construction. Plans are being made to occupy the new law building during the academic year of 1980-81. Vicki DeAndrea, Faculty Secretary Dr. Shelton Hand, Assistant Professor H.

The objectives of the Division of Fine Arts are: To stimulate a greater interest in and understanding of the arts as a part of a liberal education: to offer to those who wish to specialize in either the field of art or music an opportunity to do so: and to offer to the general student opportunities to gain experiences in art and music both as a participator and a spectator. While other areas of learning may stress factual knowledges and scientific disciplines, the work of this division is primarily con- cerned with human significance of the facts and processes common- ly known as the realm of aesthetics. In stressing the recognition and development of these values the division makes a significant contri- bution to the general purposes and philosophy of the college. 138 music major entertaining on the patio.

The Division of Humanities at Mississippi College is concerned primarily with matters of communication, both oral and written, as they apply to the study of languages and their literatures and to the performing arts of speaking and acting. The Departments of English and Foreign Languages and the Department of Speech and Communicative Arts constitute the Division of Humanities. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Dr. James M.

The Division of Religion proposes to contribute to- ward the intellectual and spiritual development of students at Mississippi College. It seeks to give them a deeper appreciation for the values of Christian faith and to encourage commitment to Christian ideals. The Division offers practical instruction in imple- menting these values and realizing these ideals. It proposes to build a foundation of intellectual excel- lence which will offer guidance and understanding in a changing world.

Mrs. Quarles has taught hundreds of freshmen and sopho- mores in her tenure at MC. During that time, she has demonstrated a knowledge of her subject matter, as well as a consistent desire to make the areas of composition and literature interesting to her students. Mrs. Quarles sums up her teaching philosophy by saying “You learn more by teaching. It gets impressed on your mind; it almost be- comes a part of you.” Her contributions to the profession are numerous, but so, too are her contributions to the larger community. In the words of a deacon from her First Baptist Church of Clin- ton, “Mrs. Quarles is concerned with helping others, and that concern is manifested in her daily life. She has a deep Christian spirit that affects everyone with whom she comes in contact.” Because ol her dedication to the ideals and principles of Mississippi College and in honor of her thirteen years o! college teaching, the 1980-81 yearbook is proudly and lovingly dedicated to Mrs. Virginia Quarles.

The future will broaden some of the dreams, narrow others, and eventually it will end them all. Mississippi College of- fers a chance for the student to first desire his hopes for tomorrow and then to take initial steps toward his dream. At the conclusion of his years here, the student recognizes that he has made aca- demic progress, but he will also realize gains in another important area— relating to other people— The People PEOPLE SENIOR CLASS Senior Class officers are Gina Allen, sec- retary; Tom Washburn, treasurer; Tina Taylor, vice-president; and Jimmy Price, president.

We tried to record every event, place or person at Mississippi College. Our task was cut out for us, but we believe we accomplished it. There are so many people to thank because without them we may not have been able to function. I m grateful to my staff who worked long and hard hours, especially my section editors who always had their pages in on time. A very sincere thanks goes to Mrs. Janet Lee for being a concerned sponsor and always coming to aid whenever needed. Special thanks to all the photographers especially Richard Davis who spent many long nights in the dark room, the COLLIAGN staff for helping with photos and copy. Lastly, I want to thank the people of MC for they make-up the yearbook. These are the memories of MC, so 1 hope you will cherish them, for I will.
