His chest quickly filled though, with the irreplaceable treasures that he could obtain only through life as an MC student. Each individual student, himself a priceless jewel, decided with what he would fill his chest. Many exciting events were constantly happening throughout the year. Freshmen started filling their chests with memories of orientation and their first registration. Before long our riches included memories of Rush, Homecoming, Clash of the Classes, chapels, and Derby Day. Another major portion of our wealth consists of memories of the strenuous competitions that Choctaws participated in. From football in the fall to baseball in the spring, that Mississippi College spirit never died. r 1 3 % Now that the year is over, these treasures must not be hoarded. For Seniors, these treasures must be used to move into the working world. Undergraduates must remember their treasure of memories to improve upon them the next year. Each Choctaw, though, must be sure to never let the memories in his treasure chest lie forgotten and to always remember the people who made him so rich. i 5 STUDENT LIFE DEDICATION Dr. Charles S. Davis, Associate Professor of Bible in the Division of Religion, has been at Mississippi College since August, 1973. In August, 1959, he married the former Nancy Lee Nielsen; Dr. Davis is the father of one child, Dana Gayle, who is thirteen. Davis, a native Mississippian, attended public school in Greneda, graduating from high school in 1954. He was named High School All American in football that year. While continuing his education at Mississippi College, Davis also continued his sports achievements; he lettered in football, basketball, track, and tennis. In 1957, the year before he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with Distinction, Davis served as captain of the football team and was selected a Small College All American. In 1980 he became the youngest person inducted into the Mississippi College Sports Hall of Fame. From Mississippi College, Davis went to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He received his Master of Divinity from New Orleans in 1962 and his Doctor of Theology from there in 1971. During the past Dr. Davis has served as pastor at Cuba Baptist Church, Cuba, Alabama, and at First Baptist Church, Crowley, Louisiana. Today he serves as interim pastor wherever he is needed around the state. Dr. Davis, whose nickname Puddin’ was given to him by an aunt shortly after his birth, maintains his interest in sports. j Tennis is his love today. He has been a top-ranked singles player in his age group ; for years; in 1982 he was ranked fifteenth ! in the state. Dr. Davis also plays doubles quite well. In eleven years of following the Choctaws’ football team, he has missed only seven games total. Most of those were due to the distance between an : away game and where he was serving as interim pastor. One other activity Dr. Davis engages in ; is Mississippi College’s annual “College Bowl.” Along with a team of trivia- minded students, he has placed either first place or runner-up every year of the event. Dr. Davis attributes this to wide reading and an uncanny knack for retention of facts. MR. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 1958 Dr. Charles Puddin’ Davis r r 1983-84 Mississippi C College Beauties SBA Halloween Carnival For those who participated in the SBA Halloween Carnival, Halloween was more than a time for ghosts and goblins. For some it was the chance to be kissed by a tribal beau or to send someone splashing into dunking tank waters. The carnival, held Thursday, October 27, provided the student body with those activities and more to get them into the Halloween spirit. Various clubs on campus used the event as a fund-raiser by sponsoring booths. Entries included the infamous beaus’ kissing booth and ODK dunking tank, along with an NT hugging booth and beignet stand, a Circle K water balloon throw, a Civitan egg throw, a Laguna dart throw, a Mortar Board BB-gun shoot, and an Art Club face-painting t- shirt airbrushing stand. The SBA coordinated the event, and according to Scott Tynes, SBA President, “It was a great success.” Besides giving the students a holiday activity and the clubs a few extra dollars, it afforded MC the chance for good publicity in Clinton through community participation. ¥ I 12 LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: The Art Club raised money by airbrushing T-shirts and painting faces and Art Club member, Art McAlpin, kept the money coming in.

Before the beginning of Rush 1983, little did unsuspecting Freshmen and Transfers know just how special those symbols were soon to become. Had someone told them that in a few short weeks they would be jumping around on a pogo stick in the middle of a packed cafeteria or turning cartwheels through the Student Center to be one of those animals, they probably would have laughed. But when September 8 rolled around, the joke was on them — again and again! Hundreds of running, screaming, cheering members of the tribes brought the rushees their first glimpse of the tribal system at the General Rush meeting. Each group brought out the tribal colors and spirit and turned up the noise level to prove that they were the best. Then the members of Intertribal Council outlined the rules for Rush and 123 girls were on their way to one of the greatest experiences of their lives. To introduce the rushees to the personalities of the four tribes, two days of formal coke parties were held, providing the rushees a chance to question members and the members a chance to sell the special features of their tribe. Scrapbooks and tribal symbols were passed around and favors were given to the girls rushing. September 8 — General Rush LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Lagunas, Janet Sessums, Kathy Cawthorn, and Charlene Bell use the General Rush party as a time to show the rushees what LT has to offer.

September 13-14 — Coke Parties 14 September 20 — ST Rush Rush 1983 Starting with the following week, the “stars” in the tribes had their chance to shine as each tribe presented a rush party complete with escorts for the rushees, catered food, music, and as a climax, a Broadway type skit. Swannanoa started things off with their presentation of “The Best Little Tribe at MC”. The owl tribe made use of videotape to spoof Hollywood by doing their own versions of famous movies such as “Rocky 29”, “Stayin’ Alive”, and “Bootsie”. Kissimee followed with “Dream Girls” and got the rushees involved by making it a pajama party. The “Dream Girls” skit told the story of a typical MC girl who became a dream girl through the love of KT. The Kissimee girls even expressed that love by giving the rushees pink carnations. RIGHT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Jean Dabit, ST beau Richard Compere, and Elizabeth Oliveria socialize after ST’s rush skit. Swannanoa used popular movies to sell their tribe.

Anxious rushees in pajamas await Kissimee’s party, “Dream Girls.” September 22 — KT Rush Party September 27 — LT Rush Party Rush 1983 Laguna came next with their presentation of “Mirror, Mirror.” Dana Smith starred in the skit as Sue White, who came to MC a lonely misfit but discovered, by looking into the mirror of life, where she belonged — in this case, in Laguna Tribe. Each rushee was given a mirror of her own and asked to look into it to find her place in the tribes at MC. Nenamoosha closed out the rush parties with “A Little Bit of Boo Boo”, which spotlighted Amy Washburn as Boo Boo Bear, who found her special place through NT love, and shared it with others. After the party, the Neenies treated the rushees to a candlelight serenade in front of Hederman dorm. The end of NT’s party meant decision time for the rushees, as they were given ten days in which to visit and sign the lists of the members of their first and second choice clubs. Frantic girls could be seen wandering dazed through dorm halls, mumbling about having to visit 50 million people who were never in their rooms. Somehow most were located and visiting was completed, which meant that it was time to choose a tribe. Preference Day saw crowds of girls lined up in the Student Center to put in bids for the tribe in which they wished to join. i 1 1 September 29 — NT Rush Party 16 October 10 — Preference Day LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Jan Dukes and Jana Newton are two of the many Lagunas ready to greet the 123 rushees.

NT had lots of love and hearts to share with the rushees at their rush party. RIGHT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Kitty Village and Teresa Parsons are ready to go to their tribes’ meeting place to be welcomed by their new friends. KT had many rushees to welcome and all of the rushees seem to be happy with their choice. October 13 — Squeal Night Rush 1983 % j Finally, on October 13, the long awaited night came — Squeal Night! The nervous rushees, who had spent days wondering if they were voted into the tribe they wanted, huddled in silent darkened rooms to wait for bids to come sliding under their doors. The bids instructed them to “Run, Scream, and Shout” to their tribes’ party, where members waited to welcome them pep-rally style into their tribe. As the fun at the parties went on, mobs of males could be seen crowding around the locations of the parties. In surprise attacks, the lights were turned off and guys ran into the rooms grabbing all the girls they could catch, and dragged them kicking and screaming to the much talked about and dreaded fate — the MUD! A few lucky ones, through skill of luck, escaped, but the mounds of mud-encrusted shoes and T-shirts piled outside the dorms were testimonials to the success of the guys in coating most in the mud. The fun of the night did not end with the mud baths. While the parties had been going on, crews of “decorators” from each tribe went around to the rooms of the rushees and added special touches to finish the night. The girls came back to find their rooms rolled in toilet paper and yarned in tribal colors. Some were even buried under confetti and baby powder. To make up for the “wrecking”, presents from tribal “Big Sisters” awaited the girls and the presents kept coming all the next week, which was Pledge Week. Dressing like animals, football players, and little kids, collecting signatures, and guarding pledge books and plaques at all times were the routine for the girls during Pledge Week. Daily performances by rushees who had pledge items stolen took place in the cafeteria, such as singing, dancing, quacking, and riding the conveyor belt. Soon the week of torture was over, and many girls were happily official members of an MC social tribe. The sacrifices they made to become members made them appreciate their tribe all the more, and left them anticipating the many fun times to come with their new family. 17 r-m Derby Day Every year in April, Delta Sigma Pi, one of MC’s business fraternities, holds an event that turns all four of the sister social tribes into rivals for a day. The big event? The 14th annual Derby Day, held on April 23, 1983. The day began for all tribal members at 7:00 a.m. with breakfast in the cafeteria. The competitive events were kept confidential until it was the actual time for that event to occur. Popular songs labeled each event which helped in firing up the girls. Each song hinted at what the event was, to aid the girls in their decision as to which event they wanted to participate in. Once all events were signed up for. Delta Sigma Pi led the tribes from the decorated cafeteria in a short, but fun parade to Alumni gym where the games were to take place. The floor of Alumni rocked as the competitors cheered and the fight for victory started! Under the direction of Sharon Deer, President of Delta Sigma Pi, the competition ran smoothly. The first nine events went by quickly with Kissimee and Laguna leading the pack with very close scores. The final event, the tug-of-war, would determine which maid would receive the title of Derby Day Queen. Laguna gave Kissimee a honest and fair fight, but the elephants managed to outpower the mice. Swannanoa finished in a close third with Ncnamoosha finishing in fourth place. Yet, whoever wins. Intertribal love is encouraged when the games are over. 18 ife ' ift .1 LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: One of these lovely ladies, representing the four tribes, will re- ceive the title of Derby Day Queen.

The festival ran from April 18 through 22, 1983, with activities planned during the week to recognize Shakespeare and his works. The program was a combined effort of the English, Drama, and Music Departments. The annual Madrigal Dinner was held on April 22. The dinner’s theme was centered around the time of Shakespeare in the style of the Renaissance. After a reception in the Reserve Lounge, the jester led a procession into the Hall of Fame room where guests awaited the arrival of the hosts. Lord and Lady Pittman. Under the direction of Dr. James Glass, the Mississippi College Madrigals provided the dinner music. The concert was presented in the 14th Century madrigal style, in which the singers sat around a table singing popular songs of the Renaissance period. The Tribal Players paid tribute to The Bard in their presentation of scenes from MacBeth , Othello , Julius Caesar , The Taming of the Shrew , and Romeo and Juliet . Tickets had to be bought to attend the Madrigal Dinner but all who went seemed to enjoy the performances. At the conclusion of the program, the guests returned to their homes after a delicious dinner and superb entertainment.

Miss MC Miss Allyson Jo Barker, a 20-year old Junior from Jackson was crowned as the 1983 Miss Mississippi College in the College’s Pageant on February 26, 1983. A Hyson ' s talent consisted of a vocal arrangement of “Memory”. Along with the honor of being Miss Mississippi College, Allyson received a Miss America trophy, a monetary wardrobe allowance, a designer gown, a $500 scholarship, and the invitation to participate in the Miss Mississippi state pageant held in Vicksburg. “Mississippi College means a lot to me. 1 feel very honored to be chosen to represent MC,” says Miss Barker. Allyson was sponsored by the Concert Choir. The twenty-two girls who competed in the pageant this year were judged on the basis of their private interview, swimsuit competition, evening gown competition, and talent competition. The Master of Ceremonies was Kurt McLemore, a second year med student at University Medical Center in Jackson and a native of Corinth, Mississippi. Entertainment was provided by Crystal Crosby Gray, Steve Steward, and Miss Mississippi College 1982, Laurie Lofton. The four finalists were First Alternate, Miss Robyn Dunn; Second Alternate, Miss Patty Lewis; Third Alternate, Miss Lisa Ferguson; and Fourth Alternate, Miss Michele Albritton. Chester Whisonant directed the pageant with the assistance of Gerri Chiles as Business Manager, Sherry Threatt as Hostess Chairman, Melanie Thompson as Awards Chairman, Barry Nunnelee as Backstage Director, Lisa Broadaway as Food Chairman, Eva Hart as Faculty Advisor, Susan Masavage as Publicity Chairman, and Mark Hamilton as Graduate Advisor. iu , T.

As the anticipation built and the mercury rose, the Quad was transformed into the battlefield for the 1983 “Clash of the Classes’’. With the events ranging from a water-balloon volleyball to a jello-slurping relay, the classes fought to pull their team ahead. The Freshmen got off to a good start as they proved experience was not the prime factor. The first four events were won by the team of Freshmen. The Seniors began to shine as they jumped their way to victory in the frog-jumping contest. The tomato pass was captured by the Sophomores who also showed their skills in the musical ice bucket event. The Juniors used their planned strategy and united teamwork to win the water-balloon toss. The final climactic event was the tug-of-war. Although the Juniors proved their powerful strength, the Seniors still had the most points. Congratulations, Seniors, for winning First Place in MC’s thrilling “Clash of the Classes.” LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Chester Whisonant and Angela Traylor show the Seniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen how to be successful at the Wheelbarrow race.

Scott Tvnes, SBA Vice-President, with Jim Turcotte, SBA President, co-ordinated the day ' s activities. Spring Fever Day Thursday, April 21, 1983, marked the beginning of another “Spring Fling 5 ' for Mississippi College students. This Spring, the students and faculty went to the Ross Barnett Reservior for a day of unique games, food, and entertainment. Classes were held with shortened second and third periods. Lunch w ' as served on the Quad with a Hawaiian luau complete with roasted pig. The SBA provided vans to transport students back and forth from the reservior. There w ' ere new games designed to include more competitors and with prizes to encourage more participation. Dinner was served at the Old Trace Park, which was the site for the day’s activities. The area is “easy to find , said Jim Turcotte, SBA President, who described the atmosphere as “awesome! April 21 had also been claimed as National Mark Twain Day and MC was fortunate to have as entertainment Parker Drew ' . Parker has toured over 30 states w ith his performance of “Mark Twain Revisited ' 5 . MC’s second guest, Mac McAnally, gave a concert for MC. Mac received the Distinguished Citizen Award from the State of Mississippi just before his appearance. At age 22, he is the youngest person to ever receive this humanitarian award. Mac’s agent said that many of Mac ' s songs have been inspired by the original Mark Twain. After this fantastic duo, the night ended with a houseboat extravaganza that offered a cure for this strange fever caused by Spring. RIGHT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Not only did students get Spring fever, but the cafeteria workers did as well. A roasted pig was prepared to enhance the luau.

The entire day consisted of a series of activities directed by chairman Christy Taylor. Patriotic festivities were initiated with a very effective speech given by Governor William Winter. He skillfully set the frame of mind of his audience with this thought: Patriotism is best shown by caring — more so than the brightest colors or even the most beautiful symbols. He expressed that love for America can be shown by actions that directly help the people of America. Winter’s speech was followed by a flag history of Mississippi, with historical trivia presented about each of the flags that have flown over Mississippi. The ceremony was followed by a reception featuring the all-American delicacy, apple pie, on the patio. Students were honored with free gifts of flag pins, pencils, and miniature flags. As the day drew to a close, each participant seemed to harbor this thought: The true spirit of our country is found in her people. Living among them assures one that America is truly America the beautiful.

The activities began early in the week with such events as Hat Day and Spirit Day. On Thursday night, the traditional Homecoming Pep Rally was held at McDonalds. Each class supported the football team by doing an original LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: Homecoming Queen, Miss Joann Branson, escorted by SBA President, Scott Tynes and her father. Dr. Joseph W.

This added to the excitement and anticipation of the Homecoming weekend. Friday found students and faculty showing their spirit by dressing in Blue and Gold. Bill Clary, an illusionist and speaker, entertained students in the cafeteria at noon and also gave a lecture on Stress Management in the afternoon. Nelson Auditorium was the setting Friday night for a full-length illusionist performance by Mr. Clary. Even though the weather was damp and dismal early Saturday morning, participation in the Run for Victory race was excellent. Over 140 runners competed in the 3.1 mile (5 Kilometer) race. Winners in the MC Student division were Milton Giles and Kathy Southall. 1 Homecoming 1983 Luncheons and teas were on the agenda for social tribe members and their mothers on Saturday morning. After this, students were seen scurrying around with last minute touches for their floats. As the sun began to shine through the clouds, the Homecoming parade inched its way through Clinton in the early afternoon. After the parade, the Patio Show began featuring Miss Mississippi College, Allyson Barker, the Naturals, and authentic Choctaw dancers. This event provided entertainment for students as well as Alumni. The MC soccer team played the Alumni which showed that the Alumni hadn’t lost their kick as they won 5 1. The Soccer Booster Club, though, won the McDonald’s contest, earning themselves $250. The late afternoon found everyone heading for Robinson Field to see the Choctaws meet the Pacers of University of Tennessee at Martin. During the halftime show, the 1983 Homecoming Court was presented. Maids were Kim Tanner — Freshman; Tamera Butler — Sophomore; June Goodwin — Junior; Becky Golden and Alicia Smith — Senior; Allyson Barker — Maid of Honor, and Joann Branson as the 1983 Homecoming Queen. Each girl was escorted across the field by her father and was presented a rose by a chosen escort. During the halftime, winners for float competition were announced. Laguna Social Tribe won First Place with “Choctaws Have That Magic Touch’’. Civitan came in Second Place with “Railroad the Pacers” and Circle K’s “Pac the Pacers” came in Third Place. The Choctaws did not let their spirit down as they defeated the Pacers 28-0, bringing the record to 8- 0 and earning MC the title of First in the Nation! To bring the evening to a climax, a Homecoming party was held at Brookwood Country Club. The featured band. Sparkle, provided great entertainment for all who attended. LEFT PAGE TOP TO BOTTOM: As an added attraction to the Homecoming activities. Chief Choc parachuted onto Robinson Field. Coach Williams keeps his players on their toes even though MC stayed ahead the whole game. Bill Clary, an illusionist, did several performances for the student body and faculty. 32 33 Jeremiah People The Jeremiah People, a division of Continental Ministries, presented an entertaining concert for several hundred people in Nelson Hall on Tuesday, January 31. The performers were able to entertain the audience and at the same time present them with a very meaningful message. The musical was set on a cruise ship, very similar to TV’s infamous ‘Love Boat’ entitled the ‘Agape Boat’. As on the television production, each passenger boarded the ship with a personal conflict which eventually affected one or several passengers on board. Conflicts ranged from the children of a separated couple plotting their parents’ reconciliation to the linking of a divorced woman with a man harboring the pain of a recent broken engagement. An elderly man by the name of Mr. Finney added a spicy touch to the play with his ability to stop time by snapping his fingers. Essentially, he served as peacekeeper of the antics on board. As the play closed, all passenger conflicts were resolved — through the goodness of God’s love. The audience responded with a standing ovation and an overall hearty reception of the entire production. Perhaps, ABC’s ‘Love Boat’ has found its first competition! 34 One of Mississippi’s finest gave a very moving testimony during a chapel meeting. Jerry Clower was truly greeted with a warm welcome by the MC Choctaws and was given a MC jacket. Jerry Clower On Wednesday, February 1, the students and faculty of MC gave a hearty welcome to a favorite Yazoo City, Mississippi “boy” of theirs. His name is Jerry Clower. After making a flamboyant entrance in his usual unique attire, Jerry Clower spoke honestly and openly to the students about the young people of today. Contrary to the usual criticism and degradation that young people often receive — Jerry bestowed compliment after compliment on the actions and accomplishments of today’s youth. After giving a moving testimony of his upbringing and the advent of his service to God, Jerry closed by reminding the students that they are all assets— tremendous contributers to the progress and overall well-being of our nation. X 35 Spiritual Enrichment Week Sooner or later, everyone reaches a point where life seems unbearable. At least three papers are due, four tests are scheduled in two days, friends have disappeared, and help seems to be about a hundred thousand miles down the road. But many NC students learned, during Spiritual Enrichment Week on February 6-10, that help is only as far away as the “Footprints in the Sand.” The week served to remind many that Christ is present and willing to help everyone in their daily walk with Him. Featured speakers for Spiritual Enrichment Week were Pam Bell, Chester Swor, and Bill Elder, and through chapel lectures, seminars, tray talks, counseling, and visitation with campus organizations, they provided students with a chance to learn and grow in their Christian walk. A BSU Steering Committee of 20 planned the week, with Pam Pybas and David Gunn serving as co-chairmen. Other committee members included: Dennis Atwood, Sherry Threatt, Phillip Peacock, Shirley Davenport, Amy Washburn, Alicia Farnham, Alissa Spigener, Mark Long, William Nichols, Tami Doleac, Jennifer West, Wren Batson, Milton Giles, Rhonda Stamps, Johnny Wade Gaspard, Jeff Fritscher, Tim Griffis, and Natasha Shirley.

Bill Elder and Chester Swbr discuss their approaches to the theme “Footprints in the Sand”, A closing picture to end this year’s Spiritual Enrichment Week. One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it, “Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is on ly one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” Footprints in the Sand COMPETITION Lisa Austin — Editor CHIEF CHOC 40 Each year the athletes of MC depend on a very special group of people to keep the spirit alive. These special people are our cheerleaders. They work long hard hours, and they do their best to boost the morale of the whole student body. To our cheerleaders of 1983-84 we say “thank you” from the bottom of our hearts!

The first game of the season opened at Southeastern Lousiana University. In the first quarter, the Chocs were only able to score a field goal by Reggie Hawthorne. At the half, the score was 3-3. In the third quarter. Southeastern pulled ahead on a TD that resulted from a Choctaw fumble. The second half belonged to the Chocs. Tommy Nester scored two TDs, one of which was set up by a Tony Benson interception. The final score, 16-10, began the winning season. 6 In Valdosta, Georgia, on September 10, the mighty Chocs once again rose to the occasion by defeating Valdosta State at home by a score of 26-3. This was a very special game for MC’s kicker Reggie Hawthorne He broke the school’s record for n umber of field goals kicked in a single game. Reggie contributed 1 2 of the 26 points scored in the game Tommv Nester added a TD as did Harold Stanfield to clinch the victory One of the most important and challenging games the Chocs had to face was against Stephen F. Austin in Nacodoches, Texas. On the opening kick-off, the Chocs marched to the Lumberjack 7 yard line Reggie Hawthorne converted a three point play. The first quarter ended with a score of 6-7. Vf 43 Jf$L f esdu IS Things began to look up for the Choctaws when Clyde Shelley scored on a 37 yard TD. Benny Hughes created an exciting moment when he intercepted a Lumberjack pass and returned it 75 yards for a TD. Alvin Kidd put the icing on the cake with two TDs in the fourth quarter to finish the game 36-29, our third win. The first quarter of the game against Southern Arkansas State belonged solely to the defense. Scoring was impossible for either team. However, Reggie Hawthorne had an exceptional quarter with a field goal and an interception that set up a Choctaw TD by Alvin Kidd. After the half, Paul Meyerchick also intercepted a pass and Harold Stanfield added another TD. The Chocs went on to win 23-7. The game against Troy State was a big one for the Choctaws. In the second quarter, a fumble recovery by Earl Conway set up a Reggie Hawthorne field goal. Tommy Nester had a good day adding two touchdowns. This game was the first shutout by the Choctaws this season. The final score was 17-0. With the sixth consecutive victory of the Choctaws came a tragedy. R eggie Hawthorne suffered a broken leg. Once again there was no score at all in the first quarter. In the second quarter however, before his accident, Reggie Hawthorne made an easy three points. Alvin Kidd also contributed two TDs. After halftime, Charles Young made a TD, and Bruce Howell fell on a blocked punt in the endzone for the final score. MC downed Jacksonville State 30-18. Perhaps if not skill, the Choctaw’s quick thinking and luck won the game against Quachita State on October 15. To begin our good fortune, the Choctaws won the toss. Alvin Kidd contributed two touchdowns. On a Quachita State fumble, only plays later Tommy Nester scored. Many turnovers plagued the game, most of them in our favor. Tony Benson, Keith Garner, Anthony Smith, and Howard Jones all made key interceptions. Harold Stanfield added another TD and Kirk Nienaber, the freshman kicking for injured Reggie Hawthorne, added a 45 yard field goal to bring the Chocs to the top 30-7, The University of Tennessee at Martin came to Mississippi College to face the mighty Choctaws on their homecoming. The game belonged entirely to the Chocs as they shutout UT Martin 28-0. Charles Ray Keyes scored three of the four touchdowns, and Charles Young contributed the last. Alvin Kidd had a great day rushing with 84 yards. Charles Young had 68 yards and Charles Ray Keyes rushed for 65 yards. Paul Meyerchick also tied his own record with three interceptions. 44 fy z f On October 29, 1983, on our own home field, the Choctaws suffered their first loss of the season. Livingston out-powered the Choctaws on more than one occasion. The first score for the Choctaws came on a Tommy Nester keeper. Nester also fumbled a ball in Choctaw territory that set up a Livingston score. The Livingston defense did not allow the Chocs to score again until late in the fourth quarter with less than a minute left to play when Tony Eddins scored a TD. When the clock had run out and the dust had settled, the Choctaws had been defeated 14-24. In Florence, Alabama, on November 5, 1983, the University of North Alabama Lions became only the second team to defeat the Choctaws. All hopes for the play-offs seemed lost. Fate worked against us this day as mistakes seemed unavoidable. On a Tommy Nester fumble, UNA gained a TD. Paul Meyerchick was not immune to mistakes either as he fumbled a punt return. At halftime, and throughout the game UNA held their lead. They defeated the Chocs with a shutout, the first since 1981. November 19, 1983 was a rainy, miserable day. The Choctaws played perhaps the most mentally wearing game of the year. Not only was Delta State our biggest rival, but with renewed hopes for the playoffs it seemed imperative that we win. The first half belonged totally to the Choctaws. With an astounding 21-0 lead, the Chocs went into the second half very confident. However, the Statesmen rallied to a crushing 31-21 victory, despite two TDs by Alvin Kidd and one by Clyde Shelley. For all the hard work and effort that went into making the Choctaws as great as they were, We have only one thing to say: WE LOVE YOU CHOCTAWS!!!!!!!!!! 45 CHOCTAW TRACK 46 Up - 47 CROSS COUNTRY Coach Lamb gives a word of advice to the men’s cross country runners.

But MC also has produced many outstanding graduates. For instance, Mississippi College has trained some 25 or 30 presidents of colleges and universities and at least that many presidents of junior colleges; at least six governors, and many distinguished legislators, judges, physicians, scholars, and businessmen. It was a 1957 physics graduate of MC who directed the first flight that man ever made to the moon. MC has also produced a president of the American Classical League, a president of the American Mathematical Society, an internationally known chemist, and an equally renowned physicist.

Scalp ’em!” The traditional Choctaw war cry was heard every week during football season reverberating through Alumni, as MC’s students took a break from their hectic schedules to scream and act crazy to show their support for the tremendous Choctaw team!! With the cheerleaders and Chief Choc showing them the way, the students yelled the cheers and “rhythmically exercised” to the pop music, always trying to see which group could generate the most enthusiasm to pep the team. The student body even went as far as dressing “punk” to show that MC pride. In the end. Laguna Social Tribe, the only group to win the spirit stick for five consecutive weeks, brought home the year’s overall spirit stick. 103 Gough, Karen Grady, Kelly Graham, Laura Gunn, David Guynes, Jeff Halle, Stephanie Hamil, Lynda Hamilton, Anna Hannah, Wayne Harmon, Chris Harris, Janet Hatchett, Eddie Hayes, David Henderson, Susan Higginbotham, Tr Clinton Ridgeland Winfield, AL Biloxi Brandon Jackson Raymond Lakeland, FL Verona, VA Tupelo Rock Springs, WY Grand Bay, AL Hattiesburg Jackson � p Jackson Hughes, Melissa Hughes, Tommy Jolly, Bruce Michael Jones, Brenda Joseph, Edward Oxford Hattiesburg Sandersville Jackson Meridian Kelley, John Glen Burnie, MD Kirby, Susan Clinton Kirk, Lee Indianola Landrum, Laura Pasadena, TX Langley, Travis Saraland, AL Leatherbury, Robbie Mobile, AL Leavell, David New Orleans, LA Lemonis, Sammy Greenville Leonard, Tina Bogue Chitto Lewis, Leigh Ann Madison The Ninth Annual Mississippi Science and Mathematics Tournament was held at Mississippi College February 3rd and 4th 1983.

Scholastic awards of nearly $50,000 were awarded to top students. Each participating student takes two written tests in the morning chosen from the areas of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics. Scholarships are awarded to recognize outstanding achievement in the individual competition. Team competition following a college bowl format takes place in the afternoon. Teams are divided into Division 1 and Division 2 based upon school enrollment and class offerings, and compete against teams in their division. First place Division 1 teams this year were Manchester and Brookhaven. Winners in Division 2 were Cumberland and West Kemper.

He graduated from Isola High School in Isola, Mississippi, in 1965 and continued his undergraduate education at Mississippi College. In 1969 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin and Bible. Dr. Wagner completed his education at the University of Mississippi, receiving his Masters in Community Counseling in 1973 and his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology in 1976. He has been an Associate Professor at MC since February, 1979. While an undergraduate, Wagner was named to Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. During 1977 he received recognition in Who’s Who in Religion and Outstanding Young Men in America. Several more awards followed culminating in the Distinguished Teacher Award, Southwest Baptist College, Bolivar, Missouri, during 1979 and 1980, Running long distance road races has been a part of his life since the 1970’s. He has qualified for the Boston Marathon each time he has run in a marathon. Twice he has been able to go to Boston to participate in that prestigious event. Most Saturdays he’s wherever the Mississippi Track Club is sponsoring a race; Dr. Wagner places very well overall and usually wins his age group. Sundays, Dr. Wagner serves as interim pastor wherever he is needed. Currently he is at Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Jackson. Not only during these pastorates, but in his daily life, too, he feels a conviction from the Lord to speak out on the world hunger situation. Much time is spent studying and presenting the facts in an effort to raise money to be donated at the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Wagner feels fasting is one way to save some money to be given to world hunger through the convention. He encourages churches where he serves to support this; many young people and staff members at Woodland Hills will soon be joining him in his latest efforts. Dr. Wagner is married to the former Brenda Roper of Indianola. They have two daughters, Carolyn Lynn and Brittany Blarie.

Students learn the functions of the political system in Political Science courses such as American Government or study the cultures and norms of people in Sociology.

From the basic courses of Biology and Algebra to the advanced courses of Calculus and Physics, Hederman Science Building offers it all. Along with regular class meetings, labs are an important part of this curriculum. Even though these students spend most of their spare time studying, it pays off in the long run. Science and Math Physics Bill Nettles Assistant Professor Craig Whitlock Professor and Head of Dept. Physics Mathematics James Burnside Professor and Head of Dept, of Mathematics and Computing Science Teresa Floyd Instructor A Allen O. Smithers Assistant Professor Daniel Glenn Wiggins Instructor Deborah Woodall Instructor 134 Dr. Jerry Cannon, a native of Batesville, Mississippi, has been teaching at Mississippi College for thirteen years. He did his undergraduate work at Ole Miss and his graduate work at Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Cannon now instructs Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry in the Hederman Science Building. Just out of graduate school. Dr. Cannon began to do research work and a limited amount of teaching at the University Medical Center in Jackson. It was there that he decided that he would rather teach than do research. Dr. Cannon heard of an opening at Mississippi College and applied for the position. Soon after arriving at Mississippi College, Dr. Cannon was given a three-year grant by the Heart Association to study the effects of vitamin E on digitalis. He has also been involved with the Honors Program. Although alot of Dr. Cannon’s time is taken up by teaching chemistry classes and planning the Annual Science and Math Tournament for 1,400 high school students, he still finds time for his wife and two children. On his time off he enjoys camping, hunting, and fishing on Grenada Lake. Chemistry Jerry W. Cannon Associate Professor John Legg Professor and Head of Dept, of Chemistry C.

Snazelle Professor Bill Stark Associate Professor 135 i m —p Department of Humanities Whether it is the impromptu speech in speech class or a question about some reading assignment in Literature, students are always kept, “on their toes” in this department. Located on the second floor of Nelson Hall, this department captures the student ' s imagination in courses of English Literature, Spanish, French, English Composition, and Speech. Several rooms are decorated to “restage” the stories read in Literature. English Wanda Clay Instructor Jim Ewing Assistant Professor Martha Hammond Instructor Lee Harding Assistant Professor Danny Howell Associate Professor George Pittman Professor and Head 136 I Foreign Languages Emily Fokeladeh Instructor How can a woman be a full-time housewife, mother, grandmother, and college professor all at the same time? Determination, that’s how! Mrs. Mary Catherine Gentry, Professor in the Speech Department, exemplifies a prime example of each one of those roles. Mrs. Gentry, originally from Memphis, TN, came to Mississippi in 1947 to attend Hinds Junior College. After completing graduation requirements at Hinds, she later continued her education at MC. She was the first to receive a Master of Education in General Speech Degree from Mississippi College. MC has had a very special place in Mrs. Gentry’s heart. Not only did she complete her education there, but also met her, husband of 33 years, Reverend Charles Gentry. Their six children have been associated with MC in one form or another. Mrs. Gentry has been teaching at MC for 15 years. She has taught nowhere else. Her philosophy for teaching at Mississippi College is “I believe in a Christian education and you can’t find that at any state college.” by Lisa Broadaway Anita Gowin Associate Professor and Head Doris Graves Assistant Professor Sha B. Green Instructor Speech and Communicative Arts Mary Catherine Gentry Instructor Orvel E. Hooker Instructor Hollis Todd Professor Julia Todd Professor Stan Warren Tucker Instructor 137 Department of Religion Serving double duty as Head of the Department of Religion and also as a professor, Dr. Jack Glaze abides by quite a busy schedule. He is a graduate of both Mississippi College and southern Baptist Theological Seminary and has completed graduate work in the Old Testament. He is married to the former Jean Johnson, and they have four children — all of which have graduated from MC. In reply to why he chose to come to MC in 1980, Dr. Glaze stated that it was an attempt “to satisfy his spiritual and his academic hunger.” Leaving the International Baptist Seminary and a 10 year presidential position in the institution, Dr. Glaze and his wife faced a significant change in culture from that of Argentina to that of Mississippi. He followed the Lord’s leadership, and now he has been truly blessed by the faculty, the students, and the entire campus atmosphere of Mississippi College. Joe Cooper Professor Charles S. Davis Associate Professor Jack Glaze Professor 138 Within this department, one finds the various sections of Bible, Religious Education, and Philosophy. All incoming Freshmen become acquainted with this department through the course “Introduction to Bible”. Provine Chapel is the center of these classes. Students, majoring in the various church-related vocations, spend much of their time here. Several courses that are found in the curriculum are: Baptist Work, New Testament, and Christian Faith. Roger G. Greene Associate Professor 139 Department of Fine Arts As one wanders in the Aven Hall, voices or instruments can be heard throughout. Long hours of practice and rehearsing are characteristic of a music student’s day. As one goes further in the building, the smell of paint may become evident. Many artists have emerged from behind these walls. Drama productions have found their beginnings from within these walls also. Organ, piano, voice, ceramics, sculpture, and chorus are among the many courses found in Aven Hall. Ralph Carroll Assistant Professor Steve Cook Instructor James W. Glass Assistant Professor Sam Gore Professor and Head of Dept, of Art John Hanbery Assistant Professor and Director of Band 140 A new addition to the Mississippi College Art Department is that of Mr. Steve Cook. Receiving a BA degree from MC and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Mississippi, Mr. Cook is no newcomer to the college or to the state. His mother, Mrs. Lottye Cook, formerly served as house mother of Jennings Hall for a total of 15 years. Mr. Cook enjoys music as a hobby — preferably folk and early Renaissance music. In answer to why it was where he felt the Lord wanted him to be — He loves to teach, and in his own words, “I love MC as well.” By Carey Vickery Eva Hart Instructor Mary Anne Penick Instructor James S.

Row 2: Scott Tynes, Harvey Ellis, David Rose, Jack Brown, Richard Compere. To the Student Body, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you as SBA President. This has truly been an experience I shall never forget. As I reflect on the year, and am able to call it a success, the term does not indicate to me the quantity, or even quality of activities this year. Rather, success to me means the increased involvement this year of you, the Student Body. The willingness of the other SBA Officers, my cabinet, and the various student committees to work and give their time this year is what made the year a success. The things accomplished this year were just by-products of a successful attitude. As much as we are a part of Mississippi College, I hope that “Truth and Virtue” will always remain a part of us. I also pray that as our future leaders arise from our midst, this sense of involvement that we have gained will not be left on this campus, but will remain with us to better the place in which we live.

The Women’s Affairs Board works with the Dean of Women to hand down discipline to female violators of the school rules and regulations. The board oversees the dormitory with regards to students living in them. The board also reports any breakdowns or malfunctions in the dormitories to maintainance. Not only is the Women’s Affairs Board a governing body for female students, the members of the WAB also participate in and help organize campus activities. The WAB was in charge of the annual Parent’s Day for 1983 and is working on obtaining an ice machine for the residents of the women’s dormitory. By Becky Sinclair The Men’s Affairs Board is not only responsible for the discipline of all male students, but is also responsible for the enrichment of life for the male students. This is done by the showing of movies in the dorm lobbies, Christmas parties for the dorms, and other activities. The Men’s Affairs Board along with the Women’s Affairs Board meet together and set the dates for open dorms. The Men’s Affairs Board is composed of seven members: Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary- Treasurer, Presidents of each male dormitory, and a freshman representative.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL B.S.U. at Mississippi College has many definitions — a fellowship of students, a program for students, an organization involving students mentally, physically, emotionally, and primarily, spiritually — but always with the goals of personal involvement in Christian discipleship and growth and service and ministry to others. To meet these goals, B.S.U. is the clearinghouse for most campus religious activities and sponsors such things as the weekly “Gathering;” Bible study groups, growth groups for personal Christian growth; weekly mission trips to such places as nursing homes, the Baptist Children’s Village, Crippled Children’s Hospital, and Kid’s Club, MC summer missionaries, family groups, action teams for church revivals, Baptist Young Women, Puppet Team, Cross-Section, B.S.U. Choir, retreats, and summer trips. According to Bill Townsend, Interim Director of Religious Activities and the head of B.S.U., the key to B.S.U.’s success in these areas is student involvement. At MC, he’s “always surprised by the number of students that get involved when they have so many other things for which they’re graded pulling on them. ” B.S.U. copy by Paula Womack Row 1: Rhonda Stamps, Pam Pybas, Beth Raley, Peggy Dendy, Kathy Cawthorn, Kim Cawthorn, Karen Vance, Kim Davis, June Goodwin.

Then take a look at the Freshman Council, a freshman B.S.U. leadership training group. The members of the council, elected by the freshman class and advised by sophomores Gina Allen and Phillip Peacock, have four main goals. Those are to get the freshman class involved with B.S.U., to get input from freshmen concerning B.S.U., to learn more about each other, and to gain an understanding of how B.S.U. at MC functions.

People passing by the Hall of Fame room on Tuesday nights between 9 and 10 p.m. were often seen taking a few moments out of their busy evenings simply to stop and listen. In that time frame every week was the place to be on campus — B.S.U. Choir. According to John Langworthy, the choir director, B.S.U. Choir was “a time when everybody could get together and sing and have a good time without the formality of church and without having to worry about attendance requirements, but still remembering that the main objective is to praise the Lord.” The climaxes of the year for the choir, under senior music major Langworthy’s direction and the accompaniment of sophomore music major Anne Marie Carley, were chapel appearances featuring both traditional and upbeat Christian hymns and highlighted by ensemble and solo performances. PUPPET TEAM What other organization could allow a mature, adult college student the chance to publicly play with little felt creatures without being laughted out of sight?! None — only the puppet team could provide the student body the chance at such fun! Throughout the year, the five members of the team, chosen after auditions, presented their special Christian-oriented puppet show at hospitals, churches, and schools. The skits included puppet quartets, songs by popular groups, Bible stories, and stories from life, and were presented at various places one or two times per month.

CROSS-SECTION “To get to know the Lord better, to get to know each other better, to learn about missions, and to reach out and serve” — those, according to Baptist Young Women President Kathy Cawthorn, are the goals of B.Y.W. at Mississippi College. Through the activities and fellowship among the girls, those goals were accomplished. The events for members included an ice cream social and an African dinner missions study slumber party at the home of President and Mrs. Nobles! B.Y.W. also conducted service projects, such as visiting a nursing home monthly, holding a Christmas activity for a children’s hospital, and raising money for summer and home missions. According to Ms. Cawthorn, the response for the year was good from the group, which was small but consistent. The members that came, she said, were truly “a group of girls interested in missions and mission action things because they like to serve others.” Row 1: Jean Perkins, Debbie Miller, Melinda Runion, Linda Moecklin, Kathy Cawthorn — President, Melanie Clevenger.

The group was so named because of the side variety of people in it and for the cross of Jesus — thus, “cross- section.” The twelve members of the group, selected after tryouts at which they acted in a skit and made up a monologue, spent the year taking their unique blend of religion, drama, and comedy to various groups such as churches, Bible studies, and “The Gathering.” Cross-Section’s goals for the year were to regroup with the four returning members, learn a number of new skits to present, and to get more visibility to churches. Based on the reactions of the groups for which the team performed, those goals were reached and God’s word was able to reach many in a new and different form.

The MISSISSIPPI COLLEGIAN is a weekly newspaper supported and produced by the students of Mississippi College. The paper covers campus events and other news of interest to students and is distributed every Thursday evening except during holidays and exams. Jack Brown served as editor of the paper this year. Business Managers were Cindy Sumner and Sandra King. They were assisted by Kevin Humphreys, Assistant Editor; Melanie Clevenger, News Editor; Lori Smith and Paula Womack, Features Editors; Bernie Miller, Sports Editor; Jennifer West, Copy Editor; Photographers Neal Shirley and Amy Wall; and a dependable staff of volunteers. Norman Gough, Director of Public Relations at Mississippi College, serves as Collegian sponsor. The work on each paper actually starts a week and a half before it hits the stands on Thursday. Staff members meet each Monday night to discuss story possibilities for the next week. Also, on Monday afternoon, the articles for that week’s paper have to be taken to Jackson to be typeset. On Tuesday night, the staff lays the typeset copy onto grid sheets. Thursday the paper goes to press and is distributed. Articles must be turned in by Sunday to be edited, and the Business Manager, meanwhile, must sell enough ads to cover operating expenses.

There is no way for anyone who has never been involved with the publication of a year- book to understand the tremendous amount of work that goes into it — the building of a book that reports on the year in pictures and words. This year’s staff has put in countless hours and put forth their best efforts to make this year’s book a treasure chest full of our favorite memories. I think that the staff has learned not only what is required to produce a yearbook, but more about our own capabilities and limita- tions.

Kissimee, centering around their pink and gray colors, elephants big and small, and lasting friendships has had a fantastic year — all we “dreamed” it to be. The rush party with the theme “Dream Girls” was such fun! On Squeal Night KT gave bids to 34 special pledges who were later united with their big sisters at a famous pairs party. Elephant Court, at a lodge in Georgetown, was certainly an experience for all involved. But through it all, Kissimee friendships were broadened. The year’s calendar was packed with a variety of activities including: a cookout, the annual Mother Daughter Homecoming luncheon, service project at the children’s ward of University hospital, a halloween swap, Christmas party, “Pink Day”, Valentine’s Crush party, fun formal at Vicksburg theatre and a barn party, a spring swap, our 3rd Annual Father-Daughter Banquet . . . and the list goes on.

Her colors are blue and white, her flower the blue carnation. Precious mice, both big and small are her symbol. Leaving behind the myth, “quiet as a mouse,” Laguna proved to be very spirited this year in winning the Homecoming Float competition and the Overall Spirit Stick at the end of football season. Lagunas are always busy, whether it be special projects or just having fun! Service projects include collecting for Juvenile Diabetes, the annual Rock-a- thon for Muscular Distrophy, and helping out needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. A Jailhouse Swap and a Famous Hollywood Couples Formal were only part of the exciting Laguna year. By working in Laguna each member is strengthened socially, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Laguna uses the flowering potential of each member to its fullest benefit. Thus, in the end, the goal of Laguna is reached in providing girls with a well-rounded social life by developing poise, personality, grace, leadership, and most importantly, Christian ideals.

Happiness, in Nenamoosha, is red hearts, roses, and teddy bears. And happiness, too, is a very busy schedule. NT started the year off right with “A Little Bit of Boo-Boo.” The rest of the year has been filled with such activities as a swap with Civitan at the Reservoir, a Big Sis Little Sis retreat at Twin Lakes, “A Country Christmas” formal, and going to the Capitol to view the Teddy Bear exhibit. Service is also an important part of Nenamoosha, who has a Halloween Carnival for the Care Inn Nursing Home, collected canned goods for a needy family at Thanksgiving, and had a birthday party for Jesus with the Kid’s Club at Christmas. Nenamoosha attempts to emphasize participation, leadership, and the development of personality and character. The songs, “Happiness,” “People,” and “Everything’s Coming Up Roses” strengthen the message of togetherness and the bond of love which represents Nenamoosha! 165 S SWANNANO SOCIA TRIBE Row 1: Leslie James, Haley Hughes, Kathy Stone.

Although the 3rd Ratliff corridor is filled with a diversified group of unique individuals, they are yet unified by the legend, that is: 3rd Ratliff. Many of the tales that are whispered across campus about this mysterious territory, 3rd Ratliff, are true!! Yet some of these tales are but a simple strand in the web of mystery that has been woven about this unconquered land. Behind each of the calm countenances of these men are numerous volumes of untold stories of struggle, conquest, love, valor, and victory. The never finished saga of 3rd Ratliff will always remember these men in the pages of its history. Likewise, these men shall not forget 3rd Ratliff, for it shall live in their hearts forever!! 3rd Ratliff, the legend, LIVES!! — Overlord Rat Dairy Queen v L et ' s all go to DA IR.V QUEEN 225 Highway 80 West Clinton, Ms. 39056 924-6232 • World champions wear Balfour rings... so will the FIRST BAPTIST class of 1984.

Not every event or every person making up MC is represented; we have found much to our disappointment, that it is an impossible task. Some individuals are recorded a number of times or in a number of ways. It is not that they are favored but they are in reality, the people who dove into life at MC and made the happenings a success; they, in fact, elected to become a vital part of the force making the 1983-84 session of Mississippi College what it was. The task of editing the 1984 TRIBESMAN was at times an awesome responsibility, demanding 150% of me; yet, it was a responsibility and a privilege that I would not have liked to have missed. The feeling of accomplishment and all the things I have learned about myself this year are enough reward for the work that has been done. Within these pages lie the responses of my staff, each recorded in his own way within his own section. The first of the sections are my own, at least from the standpoint that I organized the copy, the pictures, and the headlines. In a more real sense, they are your pages; they are the record of your activities. The Sports section, compiled by Lisa Austin, is a record of athletic teams, cheerleaders, and the band. Suzi Orend headed up the People section with the intention of including as many students as possible. The Faculty and Administration section went through some changes this year as Sandra King attempted to bring the faculty and students closer together by including spotlights on some faculty members. The Organizations section was compiled by Anna Hamilton. It is a record of the many individuals who are a part of the service-oriented organizations on campus and of those who were selected for leadership positions. The Ads, a record of those who were able to contribute to the support of the TRIBESMAN in order to keep student costs lower, was organized by Jane Ann Lee, Business Manager. I would like to say an extra thanks to: Amy Wall — We wouldn’t have gotten past page one without you. Your many hours of taking pictures and developing are sincerely appreciated. Lisa, Suzi, Sandra, and Anna, my sectiof editors — You made editing a yearbook easier than it should have been. Thanks for all of your creative energies and support. Paula Womack and Carey Vickery — Your articles were terrific and you were so dependable, even when T need it tomorrow!’. Janet Lee — Your friendship as well as your trust in me meant alot. Mom — Thanks for letting me spread layout sheets all over the house at Christmas and for giving me new ideas when I seem to have none. Well, this is it (and, immodest or not, 1 think we did do a good job). We gave it our best and now it’s all over. This book b yours to treasure and I hope that as you look through it years from now you will remember the priceless times that you spent at Mississippi College. — Peggy Park Editor-in-Chiei 208 Mississippi Colley library ■ DATE DUE
