amsQ V yr The standard is high — higher than that of many much older institutions; but our determination is that this college shall be among the first or it shall be nothing ’ This was the goal of the founding fathers of Mississippi College as stated in the first MC catalog. A Tradition of Excellence Traditions are valuable yet often costly benefits. To build and maintain them, effort, skill and discipline are required. Traditions established through years gone by are what make Mississippi College special, for into it have gone the hard work and sacrifices of thousands of people who have believed in its potential. Our Mississippi College of today is the product of these traditions. Chartered as Hamstead (Hampstead) Academy in 1826, renamed Mississippi Academy in 1827 and Mississippi College in 1830, the school has been owned by the Mississippi Baptist Convention since 1850. It is the oldest senior college in the state and was the first co- educational college in the nation to grant degrees to women. Mississippi College’s graduates are known around the world. She has granted diplomas to at least six governors, universities, and at least that many presidents of junior colleges. A president of the American Classical League and a president of the American Mathematical Society claim MC as their alma mater. The hrst flight that man made to the moon was directed by a 1957 graduate of Mississippi College. As the 1985 students of Mississippi College, we are privileged to share its traditions, to maintain them, and develop new ones. Freshman Orientation . . . Rush ... I Love America Day . . .

At noon, an old-fashioned picnic was held on the quad, with hot dogs, hamburgers, apple pies, and entertainment by the Air Force Band from Keesler Air Force Base. The picnic was followed by a political forum, with representatives for Reagan, Mondale, Cochran, and Winter delivering short but informative messages.

All students surrender in some way and become victims ot the dreaded Spring Fever ’ Symptoms of this pestilence include laziness, the inability to concentrate on any kind of schoolwork for more than five minutes and the strong desire to get out into the sun and have a good time. To acknowledge the onslaught of this annual epidemic, MC students plan a special day each year when people do nothing but have fun from 11:00 a.m. until midnight. In 1984, the festivities began on schedule, April 12th, with a Hawaiian luau. Students sampled sliced ham, chicken and rice, and pineapple before they participated in the one-mile and three-mile runs. At 1:00 students packed and headed to the Reservoir for fun and games. Late in the afternoon an airband contest was held and Wally and the Patrol was declared the winner. A concert by Mac Mclnally followed. Even though many students were cured of the fever on that day, there remain a few poor souls who are continually plagued with the symptoms of laziness, inattentiveness in class, and the desperate need for fun in the sun. 14 Spring Fever Day § The desire for fun is not limited to the students.

What a Feeling miss mc pageant For the contestants and for the spectators in the audience, the 1984 Miss Mississippi College pageant exemplified its theme, What A Feeling! On the night of February 24, 1984, eighteen girls from Mississippi College walked down the pageant runway. Every girl was unique in her own way concerning dress, swimsuit, and talent, but each held one big dream that was the same for all, the dream of being Miss Mississippi College. Only one girl could walk away with that dream fulfilled. In 1984, it was Patty Lewis, who represented the men of Circle K. However, it took more than just dreams for Patty to win the Miss M.C. title. It took a lot of hard work offstage before the pageant and hard work during the pageant. For the contestants who didn’t get to take the walk down the runway at the end of the evening’s events, participation in the pageant wasn t a lost cause. Selected as alternates were Tamera Butler, representing Nenamoosha, first alternate; Allyson Allen, representing Kissimee, second alternate; Julie Allen representing the Student Nurses Association, third alternate; and Angela Traylor, representing Concert Choir, fourth alternate. Two special awards presented during the evening were the Scholarship Award and the Congeniality Award. The winner of the Scholarship Award was Renee Gilmore, representing Laguna Social Tribe. Winner of the Congeniality Award was Jana Newton, representing the Junior Class. The pageant was, as in recent years, under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Eva Hart, faculty advisor for the event. Mrs. Hart has received wide recognition for her success in directing the pageant through the years. The experience offered to all the girls a chance to form close friendships and lasting memories. For everyone involved, the evening was a culmination of many efforts and the fulfillment of a dream. 18 Miss MC Pageant 1.

Friends are friends forever”— Laguna’s coke party showed that and stirred the curiosity so that rushees couldn’t wait to see what the Laguna Social Tribe had in store at their rush party. Excitement filled the Hall of Fame Room as the 1984 rushees were escorted in. Dana Smith played Dorothy as LT enacted their version of The Wizard of Oz.” Laguna wanted each girl to look deep inside herself and determine which tribe would suit her best. After all the doors were signed and the voting was completed, the forty who wished to become Laguna members found themselves face down on the floor peering underneath doors waiting for bids. The exuberant pledges ran screaming with excitement to the Vesper Room where other new mice” and the actives were waiting. After singing the Laguna song, the new Lagunas went to the infamous mud. Rooms decorated by Big Sisses awaited the girls, along with signs and gifts. Big Sisses are special to the pledges because of their friendship and their interest in the new members. The LT pledges dressed like mice, doctors, and tourists during pledge week, and survived the Mouse Mafia, only to face Mouse Court. Lagunas really care about each other, and they help each other out no matter what. The 1984 pledges saw these qualities in the actives and rushed this tribe because they knew that Laguna friends WILL be friends forever.

Judy Mason and Gina Allen enjoy pizza at Mazzios following the rush party. As the spotlight welcomed the rushees into the Hall of Fame Room, the Swannanoa actives prepared for the skits in which their true spirit was brought out. The skit contained comedy, romance and music; but most of all, it revealed how like a family Swannanoa is. The party ended with an excellent slide show which portrayed the closeness of the group and with an invitation to the rushees to become a part of the family. Those who accepted the offer found themselves standing in front of Provine Chapel after receiving bids on Squeal Night. Four men dressed in green jumped out of the bushes and blindfolded the novices. They were carried to a room in the chapel and were greeted by the members of ST. The Tribe ' s verse and creed were read, and then the night owls dug into the sumptuous food. At the end of the party the group sang the tribe song and gave friendly hugs. Squeal Night was the beginning of the Swannanoa family. The next five days found the new ST ' s wearing unique costumes to classes, such as clowns and owls. The rushees received a lot of personal attention, for Swannanoa is truly a happy, Christian family. Written by: Jan Moore, St. Pledge Swannanoa Rush 21 A New Beginning kissimee rush 1.

It was heart warming to see and feel a special bond between the members of this tribe. The 1984 pledges first impression of KT was the coke party. Pledges had a chance to visit with each one of the girls and the beaus. They were so impressed not only by Kissimee’s friendly spirit, but also by their elegant appearance enhanced by the candle lit pathway. Then came the rush party. The theme of Kissimee’s rush party was A New Beginning. The skit told about a girl leaving home for college and some of the things she would have to face in the first few weeks of school such as: Rush, Squeal Night, walking in front of the wall, playing in the cafeteria, and all the new guys on campus. Pledges found that it was just as KT said as they began anew with Kissimee. Even through the ordeal of pledge week and Elephant Court, the pledges were glad that they rushed Kissimee. The rushees believed that they made the right choice in rushing KT and that it is only the beginning. Written by Kristy Jordan, KT Pledge 22 Kissimee Rush nenamoosha rush The Enchanted Forest 5. Mama and Papa Bear tell Dianne Claypool that she needs to lobk elsewhere for a friend. 6. Dianne, still clutching her balloon, meets the clowns. 7. After being rejected by Mama and Papa Bear, Dianne meets another bear (Angela Smith). This bear cheers Dianne up by giving her a symbol of friendship, a balloon. 8. The Land of NT welcomes the rushees and will have balloons for all. 7 For the NT pledges, rushing Nenamoosha was one of the best decisions they made. NT really impressed the rushees at General Rush with their spirit, red t-shirts, and fire bell. Next, came the coke parties and the moment they walked into the NT room they felt as if they were at home. The welcome the rushees received was true and sincere. The rush parties were so much fun and at the NT rush party, the pledges saw so much love and affection within the actives that many knew that Nenamoosha was the tribe for them. At first, some of them were afraid to go sign doors, but the Nenamoosha actives were super friendly and made the rushees feel loved. It was important for the rushees to make sure that they signed all of the doors so that they would not be cut. This really made them appreciate getting their bids on Squeal Night and finding that they were new members of Nenamoosha. There is something special about Nenamoosha that the rushees love, and they rushed NT so that they could be a part of that special something. Nenamoosha is red roses, hearts, teddy bears and us. Written by: Marianne Saveli, NT Pledge The Year of the Mouse derby day On April 6, 1984, the Derby Day title was snatched from the hands of Kissimee Social Tribe by Laguna Social Tribe. KT had reigned for three years in a row, but in 1984 LT dominated. With eyes on victory, Laguna set forth with a spirit of determination and teamwork to pursue the goal set before them. President Mittie Smith said, If each girl does her best, then the whole team will do great,” and that is just what they did. This tribe, never lacking in team spirit, filled Alumni gym with excitement. The competition was strenuous. The social tribes competed in a relay race with balloons, a flour and penny race, a four-legged race, a basketball shot, an egg toss, and an attendance count. A jump rope and dress relay for the tribe presidents and vice presidents, as well as a marshmallow and whipped cream event for the beaus, preceded the final event of the day — a tug of war contest. In these events, Laguna captured five first places, one second place, three third places, and one fourth place for a grand total of thirty points. KT was second with twenty-eight points, Nenamoosha was third with twenty-four points, and Swannanoa came in fourth with eighteen points. Delta Sigma Pi, one of the campus business fraternities, is to be commended for organizing the day’s activities in such a superb fashion. They supplied each tribe with two coaches who supported the team with encouragement and guidance. Though participants were physically drained, spirits were soaring, and Derby Day ended, but a whole new year began . . . The Year of the Mouse.” 1.

However, it was not until April twenty-fifth that the Festival got fully underway. A birthday party was held for William Shakespeare in the Globe. Cake and punch along with the opportunity to talk to William Shakespeare himself were offered to all who attended. On the twenty-seventh of April the annual Madrigal Dinner was held in the Hall of Fame Room. Fine food and entertainment assured the evening’s success. The Mississippi College Madrigal Singers, directed by Dr. James Glass, performed Renaissance dances and sang while accompanying themselves on authentic instruments from the Renaissance period. Members of the English and Drama departments presented selections from HAMLET and THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. It can be said that if Shakespeare had really been here and had seen the hard work put in by all the departments, he would have smiled on the occasion. 1. The Players and Jester demonstrate for the guests the use of English stocks. 2. The Shakespeare Dinner was fit for a king and his queen. Dr. and Mrs. Pittman lead the guests to a bountiful feast. 3.

One could keep very busy going from Civitan’s egg throw, Kissimee’s cakewalk, ODK’s dunking tank, Laguna’s jail, the Freshmen’s fortune-telling booth, Mortar Board’s sponge toss, and to other fun-filled activities.

Expectations were high as the audience was ready to climb aboard Agape Boat II,” the sequel to last year’s first cruise.” The zany crew members started the musical off with the song We’ve Been Waiting for You.” The eventful trip began with various conflicts prevailing among the passengers. They came to get away, but their problems still shadowed them; perhaps were even intensified by their isolation on the ship. The crew was plotting mutiny, a couple’s marriage was on the rocks, a young girl was enstranged from her father, an old Reverend learned to love without being so strict on himself and others, and a Christian contemporary singer struggled with his identity as a public figure, yet at the same time a private individual. There were many songs and moments of laughter — such as the passengers wobbling their way through Jazzercise.” Also, there were touching moments when one by one, the passengers came to grips with their problems. The passengers faced their lives ahead to the tune of Goodbye to Yesterday.” They left the boat refreshed and wiser after learning more about God’s true Agape” love — unselfish, brotherly love.

Every day seemed to have a new craze, crisis, or unusual happening to satisfy the media. The crazes came in many forms. There were fitness crazes, computer crazes, break dancing crazes, and trivia crazes. The producers of computers have become capable of producing small units at minimal cost, thus making their products feasible for individual ownership. Several movies have been released that were immediate favorites: Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Gremlins.” A new rating system was also adopted. The PG-13 rated movie was inserted between PG and R rated movies. International events included the birth of Prince Charles’ and Lady Diana’s second child, Harry, the winter Olympics held in Saravejo, and the death of Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov. There was no shortage of national events either. Los Angeles was the site of the summer Olympics which brought attention to gymnast Mary Lou Retton and track stars, Mary Decker, Carl Lewis, and Edwin Moses. An MC graduate, Larry Myrick, participated in the Long Jump competition. A new event to these Olympics was the Synchronized Swimming competition. For the first time in American history a Miss America was removed from her position. Suzette Charles replaced Vanessa Williams as the 1984 Miss America. In medical news, a little boy fell into a frozen lake and drowned.” The medical team was able to warm his body slowly and bring him back to life. Baby Fae made national news with her baboon heart transplant which was successful. This was also the year of Nutra Sweet. Practically anything that was sweetened with sugar could now be found with Nutra Sweet. Clara Peler immortalized the words, Where’s the Beef? Many of the happenings of the past year were so critical that they could be termed crises. 1 he people in Ethiopia and surrounding countries were rapidly starving to death. A crazed madman walked into a California McDonalds and killed 21 people, while another went into a schoolhouse shooting several and killing one. Above all, this past year was a year of American unity. Americans reached deep into their pockets to finance the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Politically, the Democrats chose to run Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro, over Gary Hart and Jesse Jackson, against Ronald Reagan and George Bush. The Republicans won by one of America’s largest landslides. All these things are now taken for granted as we look back upon them. These events are now and forever a part of our history.

Freshmen 85 86 Faculty and Administration Dr. Lewis Nobles — President Dr. Lewis Nobles began his administration at Mississippi College in July of 1968. Since that time, many changes and improvements have been made in instruction, curriculum expansions, library additions, and plant facilities. Dr. Nobles and his wife, Joy, are both pharmacists. Dr. Nobles got his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from the University of Mississippi, his PhD. from the University of Kansas, and did post doctoral study at the University of Michigan. Dr. Nobles served as Dean of the School of Pharmacy at Ole Miss before coming to MC in 1968. The Nobles ' daughter and son-in-law, Sandra and Ben Nash, are missionaries in Africa. Mrs. Nobles earned her Ham Radio Operators License so that she could keep in touch with her grandchildren. The African government would not allow Ben and Sandra to bring their radio into the country so the Nobles were not able to use it to communicate with Sandra. Mrs. Nobles did not let it go to waste, though. Today, she allows MKs on campus to use her Ham Radio to talk to their parents who live overseas. Dr. and Mrs. Nobles are both avid sports tans and are seen frequently at campus functions. They are active in First Baptist Church of Clinton and a variety of community organizations. Dr. Nobles is a noted public speaker and travels often for speaking engagements. Dr. and Mrs. Nobles live in the Hendrix House, and are often hosts for receptions and community functions. Dr. Lewis Nobles is a friendly face on campus, always willing to meet and talk with students. Dr. Nobles has been highly respected and admired as a fine President of Mississippi College throughout the seventeen years during which he has served. iiiiiiiiiiiiii 88 President UV Vice Presidents Mr. Joe Barber Vice President tor Business Affairs Dr. Charles E.

Cheerleaders Win At Competition Mississippi College cheerleaders do a magnificent job keeping up the spirit of the crowd when they are leading cheers for the Choctaws. This group of students has perfected many pyramids, stunts, dances, and tumbling exercises’ producing well-executed, choreographed routines. Last summer the Choct aw cheerleaders attended the UCA College Clinic at Virginia Tech University in Blackburg, Virginia. The squad came away with four trophies. They received the first place award in Fight Song and Cheer competition, the second place award in Sideline competition, and an award as the Most Improved squad over a year’s period of time. In addition, they collected thirteen blue and gold ribbons for various achievements. During the summer, the squad also led high school and junior high school clinics. It’s evident that these students work very hard in everything they do in their cheerleading capacity. They are faithful to attend long hours of practice, football games, basketball games, and those astounding pep rallies. Chief Choc, Eddie Hatchett, also does a splendid job helping to keep the spirits of the Choctaws high, and his faithfulness is to be commended. To these extremely talented and dedicated students we say, Thanks for a job well done.” Win With No Reservations 1. Ready for the count, 78 Earl Conway has no intentions of losing ground. 2. Discussing strategy, the MC Choctaws finished their season 6-2 1. 3- Hawthorne (18) the Choc’s quarterback, was good on 20 of 23 extra point attempts.

The Choctaws opened their 1984 season at r he University of North Alabama on September 8. With Reggie Hawthorne as t heir new quarterback, the Choctaws were read y to take on the Lions. MC’s rushing ame was stalled by the Lion’s tough defense. As 4th quarter approached, the Lions led 24 ' 17. With 10 seconds remaining in the g a rne, Hawthorne’s passing game took hold. Hawthorne quickly moved the Chocs from their own 31 to the Lion’s 15 yard line. With the clock winding down, Hawthorne hit Tony Eddins in the end zone with the tying touchdown. Unfortunately, Hawthorne’s PAT was blocked by the Lions and the score remained tied up at 24-24. On September 15, the Chocs traveled to Southeastern Louisiana University where they came up against the SLU Lions. Despite several attempts to score in the 1st half, MC trailed SLU, 6-0. However, late in the 4th quarter, MC was saved by defensive player, Bruce Howell’s interception of a pass by SLU’s quarterback. Bruce Wilson scored on a 1 yard plunge with 1:40 left in the game. Reggie Hawthorne’s successful PAT assured the Choctaws a win against SLU with a score of 7-6. The 1st home game of the season was against UT-Martin on September 29. After a scoreless 1st quarter, MC came back with a punt return of 69 yards by Mike Fields. Before the half ended, Hawthorne had dashed into the end zone from 8 yards to give the Chocs a 14-0 lead. Although the Pacers came back and scored 10 points in the second half, the Choctaws offense soon came alive. Fourteen points were scored in the 4th quarter by a 1 yard run by Clyde Shelley and five yard touchdown from reserve quarterback David Hoppe to tight ‘ end Harold Stanfield. MC’s defense held back the Pacers for the remainder of the game with the Chocs defeating the Pacers, 28-10. Chocs are it! When asked about his feelings about the season. Head Coach John Williams replied, It was a very nice feeling knowing that we were in a position to possibly win the championship; then we were dissappointed because we didn ' t. The 7-14 loss to Troy, who won the National Championship, was especially heartbreaking for we played well enough to win. The loss to Delta was also dissappointing but in a slightly different way. We played as well as we possibly could. Delta State just played fantastic. They performed as pros and were unbeatable, but I feel we could have beaten them any other time.” Coach William ' s goal for next year is to win it all with no reservations. For the last three years the Chocs have been, to coin a common phrase, so close but yet so far. Each time they have placed second with 8-3, 8-3, 6-2-1 records respectively. The Chocs have a relatively young team and have a good chance to accomplish their goal. The only question is: Who is going to be quarterback? fw 1 Oscar McDonald DB 3 Todd Self WR 8 Tony Benson DB 9 Orlando Courtney WR 11 David Darden DB 15 Mike Fields WR 22 Steve Faust DB 23 Bruce Howell DB 25 Anthony Smith DB 40 Joey Parham DB 41 Steve Everett WLB 43 Benny Hughes MLB 45 John David Crowe DE 50 Darrell Hopkins MLB 56 Greg Wilkins SLB 58 Perry Walker DE 59 Tommy Hillman CLB 60 Scott Green OL 63 Lane Wilson NG 64 Robert Nye DT 72 Dean Hudson DT 75 Leon Frazier DT 76 Bruce Ladiner DT 78 Earl Conway DT 87 Stevie Rodgers DT 95 Kevin Dottley LB 99 Marshall King WLB On October 6, MC traveled to Jacksonville State University to defeat the Gamecocks on Homecoming Day in Jacksonville, Alabama. After 2 fumbles by MC’s offense, the Choc’s Charles Young scored. After Hawthorne’s successful PAT, the Choctaws recovered a fumble and scored again with a run by Clyde Shelley. Later in the 3rd quarter, a 15 yard scamper by Young and a pass to Harold Stanfield rounded out the scoring for the day. This was the first time in 38 years that the JSU Gamecocks had been defeated in their Homecoming contest. The tops in Division II football came together on the 13th of October as the Troy State Trojans were hosted by the MC with a 35-7 revenge-filled triumph. The Choctaw 1983 loss to Livingston knocked the Chocs out of the number one spot in NCAA Division II rankings. Early in the first quarter, a Hawthorne to Eddins combo gave Mississippi College a 7-0 edge. The Chocs added to their lead with a reverse handoff to tight end Harold Stanfield. On MC’s first possession in the second half, Charles Young carried the ball two yards to score once more for the Choctaws. Livingston finally got on the board with a two yard run by Truelove in the third quarter, but the Chocs regained the momentum with the two punt returns by Mike Fields leaving the final score 35-7. Choctaws. The 2 teams, undefeated in GSC play, collided in hopes of winning a key GSC victory. Defense ruled the game during most of the 1st half until quarterback Hawthorne’s 7 yard pass to tight end Harold Stanfield put MC on the scoreboard. With only seconds remaining in the half, a successful PAT boosted the score to 7-0. During the second half, the Choc’s game wasn’t as beneficial. After a number of traded punts and turnovers, the Trojans scored 14 points. The 14-7 lead, that was held to the end of the game, gave the Trojans a sure GSC lead. The MC Choctaws traveled to Livingston, Alabama, October 20 to defeat the Tigers October 27 proved to be a great homecoming. Mississippi College smashed West Georgia with a 52-24 victory. Playing a yoiing inexperienced struggling team, the Choctaws were shocked at the Brave’s readiness to play. At the half, West Georgia 17-16 and the defense had discovered Sickly that you are only as good as you ptay. The offense had a better than average n ht, and again the special teams did well w kh the punting team doing great. Michael fields had several fine returns with one 60 V ar ds for a touchdown. He gained the nations ea d in punt returns. Reggie Hawthorne was na med Gulf South Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this ’84 season. The Choctaw’s defense used a smothering attack and the offense employed a trick play to carry the Chocs to a 10-13 victory over Valdosta State College on November 3. The trick was executed by quarterback kicker Reggie Hawthorne, who was in usual punt formation on fourth-and-nine in the second quarter. This time, however, he did not punt, he threw a 29 yard pass to Kenny Hudson for a first down. A few plays later, Hawthorne carried the ball into the end zone to give the Chocs a 7-3 lead. This lead stretched to 10-3 in the third quarter when Hawthorne kicked a 20 yard field goal to round out the scoring for the night.

With a victory over Delta State, MC hoped to regain the Heritage Bell Trophy, a symbol of our intense rivalry. The Chocs fell behind 23-6 in the first half as the Statesmen dominated every aspect of the game. The third quarter saw a brief rally by the Chocs. They boosted the score 23-21. However, before MC could score again , Delta regained control and scored, jilting the Chocs 30-21. MC’s loss ended a fairly successful season with a 6-2-1 overall and a 5- 2’1 GSC record. MC tied Delta State as second in the GSC. 1. Russ Robinson, Dennis Stringer, and Greg Miles are stunned during the MC vs. Troy game. 2. Scott Green and Reggie Hawthorne put many hours of practice in every week to be the finely tuned machine that they are. 3. Tommy Hillman (59), Earl Conway (78), Robert Nye (64), and Marshall King (99) are always there to defend the Choctaw end zone.

The program was fading when I came to MC, and I had the chance to pick it up. I hope to do a lot with a little, says Balyeat. He wants to maintain the club and move forward as soccer becomes more accepted across the South as a sport. Coach Balyeat states, I really like working with the team, helping college guys find out what they really want to do in life, making a difference. MC is the place for me.

Baseball has long been an all-American tradition and a favorite one at that. Students at Mississippi College don ' t have to go far to share in this good ole American game, for it is played at its best in our own backyard. Frierson Field is the home of the baseball Choctaws. Under the fine coaching of Tom Gladney, the Choctaws show their skill on the baseball diamond. Gladney, an alumnus of Mississippi College, served as assistant coach for the Choctaws under then head coach Don Skelton. With Skelton’s departure, Gladney became head coach. There couldn’t have been a better choice. Good baseball ... the tradition continues at Mississippi College.

They are five of the top twenty golfers to play in Mississippi in the last twenty years,” said Coach Herzog. Ricky Herzog, originally from Mobile, Alabama, coached high school in Linden, Alabama, before returning to his alma mater four years ago. A Physical Education major at Mississippi College, Herzog never really thought about returning to MC.

The 1984 85 school year has truly been a year full of events and people to be remembered for a long time. To be a part of and continue MCs tradition of excellence has been the goal of the 1984 85 TRIBESMAN which is a yearly publication designed to capture MC life in pictures and words so that these memories will not soon be forgotten. The work on the TRIBESMAN begins about 15 months before it is printed and is done by a relatively small, but very dedicated group of students. The staff attempts to keep abreast of current yearbook trends and implement them in the TRIBESMAN. Staff members are needed to write articles, type, interview, draw and design layouts, schedule, take, and develop pictures, and sell ads. The TRIBESMAN is financed from a portion of the student activity fee and by the selling of ads and organization spots. All full-time students are eligible to receive a copy. —Peggy Parks TRIBESMAN STAFF: Row 1 Amy Wall-Photo Editor, Anna Hamilton— Assistant Editor, Peggy Parks— Editor-in- chief, Angela Smith— Layout Editor.

Jeff, our newest, along with Tommy, Brad and Tim, is fired up about Swannanoa. The best word to describe Swannanoa this year is changing! Changes include the addition of the cute and cuddly bunny rabbit, along with the owl as mascot and more activities in the tribe as a whole. Swannanoa won second place in the phone-a-thon, entered a float in the Homecoming parade, and had two representatives in the Miss MC Pageant. One of the biggest events of first semester was our ”2 + 2 Holiday Bash” held at Holiday Inn Downtown. Upcoming plans include spring formal, a road trip, a pinning ceremony, our annual canoe trip, and a Big Sis Little Sis Banquet. As you can see, Swannanoa is definately on the move. We are growing physically, intellectually, and spiritually, as symbolized by the green color. The white carnation represents purity; the owl, wisdom, and the rabbit, innocence.

A Tradition of Excellence. Excellence has always been a part of Mississippi College and the 1984-85 school year was no exception. A new degree, Administration of Justice, was added to the curriculum this year. MC students will now be better prepared to enter the highly acclaimed MC School of Law. Plans were firmed up to build a new football stadium for the Choctaws ' 1985 season. Mortar Board, a Senior honorary society, hosted the National Convention. Held on campus, the convention brought many southern Mortar Board chapters together. The TRIBESMAN also has improved. Last year ' s 1984 TRIBESMAN received a 3rd place award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association and a 1st place award in the American Scholastic Press Association. One of the hardest challenges of editing the 1985 TRIBESMAN was improving over last year ' s book. Over 1400 pictures are included in these 208 pages. In addition, there are close to 1000 more pictures that were developed but not used. For each of these 2400 pictures, there were at least 5 pictures taken. This means that our photographers took at least 12,000 pictures! It was also amazing how many different problems occurred this year as opposed to last year. Somehow a solution to all problems was found. Mississippi College students are among the top students in the nation. Alumni have gone on to become not only state leaders, but national leaders as well. This record of excellence will not soon change. Many of your college classmates will go on to change and improve the country we live in. As we all go our separate ways, never forget to remember your alma mater, Mississippi College. MC’s tradition of excellence will continue to grow. Be proud. Your participation in Mississippi College has shaped its future and given future students an institution to be proud of. Mississippi College ... A Tradition of Excellence. -Peggy Parks Editor-in-chief DATE DUE
