The first phrase, It ' s what you make it , from Anglea Smith, SBA Attorney, became the freshman ' 85 motto of life. The second phrase, Oh come on, Angela, you ' ve GOT to be kidding , was heard from every freshman everyday at least twice. This phrase was fast becoming the motto of the 1985 Freshman Orientation. What was Angela kidding about! She wasn ' t! The order of the day — a bright yellow «.hiri ano a blue MC beanie. It all started with boxes, suitcases, new faces, tearful good-byes and massive excitement! Then it was on to meet Dr Nobles and shake fifty-thousand hands Later a mini concert in the fellowship hall of First Baptist, Clinton ended what seemed like a hectic weekend, but was really the beginning of what would be an even more hectic two weeks. Eight o ' clock in the morning: flag raising time in the quad with everyones favorite wake-up song ‘ ' Tony Chestnut. — (toe-knee-chest-nut) Fresh- man came from all over (well, some freshmen!) to salute the flag Usually during the day there was an activity planned to keep these newcom- AFTER TWO LONG WEEKS OF ORIENTATION, freshmen get fired up on Friday for the first game of the season on Saturday. Dressed as Choctaws, the fresh- men are anxious to learn the cheers of the land of the Blue and Gold. OBSERVING THE HAREM OF GIRLS Billy Rayburn had encircled around him, Mike Harkins believed the charm was the Bible. Mike grabbed the Bible and immediately Cathy Cole became attracted to him. ASSISTANT BSU DIRECTOR, Dennis (Den-Den) Atwood, promises Billy Rayburn he can play the guitar at the next gathering. Many thanks to Angela Smith, without whom none of this would have been possible; Group leaders and SBA members, without whom none °t this would have been financially probable; and the ' 85 freshman without whom none of this would have been necessary! — Cherie Neyrey — ers busy — a picnic here, a rap session there Nighttime brought on more exciting activities. From BSU gatherings to water balloon tights, the freshmen had not a moment to spare Then came the hard part — SCHOOL! Registration be- gan and from then on it was business as uusual.

Without the direction of some very patient faculty members, this could ' ve been an all-day excursion! An annual favorite is the dreaded I.D. picture . Cries of But yellow just isn ' t my color! ' could be heard, and also screams of agony as freshmen realized they would be tied to this picture for nine months. And, of course, the classic is the freshmen ' s first look at their bill. (No way, does this cost this much! ) This year ' s class handled it pretty well, but there were a few scary moments when some freshmen couldn ' t find scholarship papers. In the end, it all worked itself out. It always does. And every year it gets easier and easier. The only problem is— by the time you ' ve figured out the system, you ' ve graduated! WHAT TO TAKE AND WHEN TO TAKE IT, meet.ng with the odv.sor mokes a little sense out of it all The line formed early in the morning and moved at a snail ' s pace for most of the day. Unfor- tunately, this was not general admission to the latest rock concert. Nope — it was Missis- sippi College registration, and it ' s an experience you are not likely to forget. Meeting with their advisors, freshmen discovered that — no, 1 5 hours doesn ' t mean 1 5 hours a day and yes — chapel is re- quired, and My books weigh more than your books !

Photo by Robert Woll The name Robinson-Hale Stadium immediately brings to mind great names of the past who have brought honor to Mississippi College ... — Dr. Lewis Nobles President, Mississippi College Coach Stanley L (Robbie) Robinson came to Mississippi College in 1 920 and except for a short stint with Mercer University and some overseas serv ice with the American Red Cross, he spent his entire career (36 years) with the college In developing the Choctaw Athletic tradition, Robinson served as head football coach, head baseball coach, and athletic director. From 1954 he served solely as athletic director until his retirement in 1961 Among his prize football pupils was Edwin (Goat) Hale, the first back in Mississippi History to be named to the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame Hale entered Mississippi College in 1 9 1 5. After playing a prominent part in bringing the State Championship in 1916, he spent two years in the Army and came back to M.C. even better and faster than before Hale captained the Choctaw team in 1920-22. On Homecoming 1977, John King, Jr. presided over a group of over 100 former Choctaw lettermen They voted to establish the National M Club for the purpose of giving supoort to the M.C. athletic program and to head up a fund drive to build a new stadium Lead by officers Herman Wells, John King, Jr., Harry Upton, John Legg and Bernard Blackwell, the club voted to establish a fund drive to build a new Stanley L. Robinson Field and a stadium to be named the Edwin W Goat Hale Stadium. Progress was slow through 1 983, although successful fund drives were held in different areas of the state In 1984, the Hale estates were closed pushing funds near the $500,000 mark A banquet co-sonsored by the M-Club and the National Football Foundation secured over $15,000 tor the fund Over 700 individual gifts have been received At Homecoming 1984, the Notional M Club recommended to the trustees that the off .cal stadium name be Stanley L. Robinson-Edwin W. “Goat Hale Stadium and in December 1 984, Dr. Lewis Nobles was given authority to begin construction. Under the leadership of Malcolm Waren, an architect was employed and work began in March 1 985. Dedication of the stadium took place on Saturday, October 26, 1985 preparatory to the Mississippi College Livingston University game SWEETHEART KIMBERLY TANNER and the men of Circle K cheer for the Chocs on the biggest, bluest, float” ever, (a garbage truck) FRESHMAN, DON POYTHRESS, contributes to the Homecoming celebration.

MISS M.C., TAMERA BUTLER, gives a repeat performance for the post-parade crowd. 1 Dill HOMECOMING 1985 A more appropriate theme could not have been chosen. It was evident in the special Homecoming Follies skits— each one depicting a different period of MC history. These promise to be an annual event as Art Stevens and Judy Shanks got them off to a great start. You could see it in the faces of alumni as they met class reunions and received awards. Nowhere was it more obvious than in our classic MC traditions such as receptions held by the Social Tribes the parade, led by the infamous firetruck; and especially the sound of a beating drum all night prior to Homecom- ing Day. Our present isn ' t too bad either ' The Chocs came out over Valdosta State 28-7 and the queen and her court came out looking beautiful for the game Perhaps the best representation of a strong past-bright future was the new Robinson— Hale Stadium As the new field saw it ' s first Homecoming, we remembered tootball heroes, and spirited students from our past We also looked ahead to more good times in a stadium at a school which strives to help every student reach their highest future dreams.

DURING A BREAK IN THE PRODUCTIONS from the various clubs, Michael Passons plays the piano and sings to entertain the audience CIVITAN DOES the Born to Hand Jive. FOLLIES IS A SUCCESS thanks to the hard work and dedication of Judy Shanks, Follies director, and Art Stevens, Student Body President. The theme for Homecoming 1985 was “Strong Past Bright Future. In the first production of Mississippi College Homecoming Follies, this theme was very evident. The idea for the Follies was originated by Art Stevens, Student Body President, and Judy Shanks, a junior, with hopes of it be- coming a Mississippi College tradition. With a motorcycle, a band, and choreography, the men of Civitan walked away with first place with their production of “MC— Fifties Style. Nenamoosha Social Tribe and La- guna Social Tribe tied for Second place with their portrayal of the Twenties and Eighties respectfully. Other groups participating were Swananoa Social Tribe, Kissimee Social Tribe, and Circle K Mens Club. Entertainment was provided by Tamera Butler, Miss MC 1985, and Michael Passons. And it is written — that on a predeter- mined day, in the spring of the year — all Mississippi College students shall forego their previous studies and major in hav- ing a good time. Much looked forward to and much re- membered afterward. The 1986 Spring Fever Day was held on April 12. Begin- ning with lunch, volleyball, and frisbee on the quad, the day put students in the mood to head for the beach. Jackson ' s resevoir was close enough and it set the stage for an afternoon of organized chaos! Spring Fever Day is one of our best traditions ever. From volleyball to a Twister Tourna- ment, there was something for sports participants and spectators alike. Domi- noes Pizza and Coca-Cola Bottling Company were co-sponsors of Spring Fever Day 1986. Resevoir Rock host- ed a variety of airbands including Put- tin On The Hits hopefuls Doc Red and the Dominoes. Walt Grayson, MC gra- duate, from WLBT Channel 3 emceed this event.

The skit which was written and directed by La- guna ' s rush chairman, Mary Karen Armstrong, gave the rushees the op- portunity to see what Laguna is all about. A summer of hard work paid off as the rushees joined with six M.C. girls as they traveled to the mysterious land of Ballon to save the valiant Prince Tristan and four of Degan ' s daughters from the wicked Queen Heloise. In order to make her king- dom run more smoothly, Queen He- loise cast a spell on the land which destroyed all originality and individ- uality. Everyone in the land of Ballon was alike in personality except for Prince Tristan, his friend Degan, and Degan ' s twelve daughters. The girls from M.C. realized how important it was to be unique and helped to re- store Ballon. In return for their help, the girls were led to the good Drucilla. Drucilla could not instruct them as to what tribe to join upon returning to M.C., but she did leave them with three guidelines. First, feel free to be yourself. Second, accept the differ- ences in people as valuable. Third, find a home in a tribe where you can find someone to share your joys and sorrows with. These three guidelines were the basis of the skit. — Kim Norman LT Active polity ££ ?f DEGAN ' S DOZEN DAUGHTERS pose for a family picture PAT STARNES was beautiful as Duscilla LAGUNA saves Prince Tristan in agrand finale MAKING NEW FRIENDS is what LT Rush is all about.

Preparation for Some Enchanted Evening pre- sented in Aven started before the fall semester even began. During workshops in the summer, Bae Brock, rush chairman, began explaining the plans. When the production of Some Enchanted Evening was pre- sented by Nenamoosha Social Tribe, all of the hard work from the actives seemed worthwhile. The rushees sat back, relaxed, and interpreted the per- sonality of Nenamoosha Social Tribe. The basic plot revolved around one college girl, played by Kerryl Ann Grantham, and her struggle to break away from her evil parents and become a part of a social tribe. Her Beary god Mother, played by Amy Washburn, comes to the rescue as she prepares for a party she has been invited to attend with a guy all of the girls are wanting to be noticed by. She leaves her shoe at the party as she rushes off before the clock strikes 12 midnight. The Beary god� mother shares some Precious Moments with her and gives her some helpful advice. Follow YOUR Rainbow and always be yourself. You will make whatever choice the best or the worst by your own actions. In the end She is the girl who finally fits into the lost shoe.

The 1 985 Kissimee Rush was a delight- ful evening again this year. It was very informative about the tribe and the newness of being a fresh face in an already comfortable atmosphere. Making the rushees feel right at home at MC involved a lot of hard work by many KT girls. After long hours of hard work, the preparation paid off as rushees were charmed by the girls in pink.

Swan- nanoa captured the hearts of the freshmen rushees as well as others watching with their unique produc- tion of FAME. The musical numbers in FAME were both exciting and emotional. ST ' s production showed the freshmen that being yourself was the im- portant thing to remember in college, not trying to change to be someone else. — Jeff Blackwell ST BEAU JAN MOORE meets her dream guy, Brad Parker.

Lee Greenwood Greenwood sings a medley of his early hits plus some of his favorite songs. Greenwood makes a fan ' s birthday very special — a copy of his latest album. Greeting fans and signing autographs after the concert made Greenwood even more popular with the crowd at A.E. Wood. Singing a McDonald ' s jingle brought him to the attention of MCA Music; several hit records brought him solid national recognition; and the Mississippi College Lyceum Committee brought him to A.E. Wood Coliseum. Lee Greenwood electrified the audience on April 8 with a history of his musical career from his first single to his latest album. In August 1981, Greenwood released his debut for MCA re- cords, It Turns Me Inside Out. It remained on Billboard ' s country misic charts for twenty-two consecutive weeks. It seemed there was no stopping his career as single after single leapt to the top of the charts. Greenwood ' s songs were not only played on country music stations, but Top 40 and adult contemporary stations as well. His second album went gold and then the awards began pouring in. In eight months time he was honored as Male Vocalist of the Year during the Country Music Association Awards, the Grammy Awards, the Academy of Country Mu- sic Awards, and the Music City News Cover Awards. During the concert, Greenwood sang several songs from his new album, Streamline, as well we most of his earlier hits. He and his multi-talented band played to a very appreciative audience who stood and cheered during God Bless The USA at the close of the show. Some even brought roses! Greenwood appeared soon afterward on the Twenty-first An- nual Academy of Country Music, where his single Dixie Road was among the five nominees for song of the year. 22 an ale ion Au- his lits. ive he 3S! n- xie ar.

The 1986 MISS MC Pageant was the 20th Anniversary of Pageants here at Mississippi College which brought an added highlight to the night ' s events. Not only did a slide show give each person a background of informa- tion about the MISS MC Pageant, but many of the past queens returned for the evening. Joan Stephanie Myers Bayer, who went on to become MISS MISSISSIPPI also returned look- ing as radiant as ever. Thirteen girls walked down the pageant ramp in hopes of becoming the 1 986 MISS MC, but only one contestant could wa ' k down the runway at the end of the evenings events. Allyson Allen from Magee, Mississippi, was the lucky girl selected as MISS MC 1 986, with Kerryl Grantham, Sharon Cooper, Marianne Saveli, and Laura Whaley chosen as alter- nates. Laura Whaley received the academic award while Marianne Saveli was awarded by David Taylor, a junior, was the student direc- tor. The success of the night definitely showed the leadership ability present in Da- vid. All of the sacrifices that had to be made were worth everything when the final produc- tion was over. From rehearsals to interviews, each girl found out more about themselves while forming new friendships. The evening ended with a reception in the Reserve Lounge given by Dr. and Mrs. Lewis Nobles. the contestants the honor of Miss Congenial- ity. Mrs. Eva Hart worked hard again as faculty advisor. She has received wide recognition for her success in directing the pageant in past years. Mrs. Hart ' s dedication was seen in all aspects of the pageant. V PEOPLE s mm SENIORS Adams, Marilyn M.

However, the Choctaws enthusiasm soon began to falter as they stepped out of their division, played division l-AA Arkansas State, and were de- feated 41-13 the following week. MC ' s luck quickly returned with a 34-30 victory over Southeastern Louisiana. Their victories continued with another win over Tennes- see-Martin, 38-0. The Chocs reign florished with yet another win over Jacksonville State, 50-3, in the new Robinson Hale Stadi- um. This victory left the Choctaws tied for the GSC lead with Troy State. Troy State fell out of contention for the title when MC defeated the Trojans 45-21 . Despite a 30- 28 loss to West Georgia the following week, MC remained tied with the University of North Alabama for the GSC championship. Following a 28-7 win over ValdostG State, the Choctaws only needed one more win to enter the Gulf South Conference playoffs. However, the long awaited dream of the playoffs never arrived as MC tied rival Delta State 1 4-1 4 in the final game, thereby send- ing UNA to the playoffs. HEADED FOR CONFERENCE The fighting Choctaws of Mississippi Col- lege looked optimistically and enthusiasti- cally to their fourteenth season under the direction of Coach John Williams. In presea- son picks, the Mississippi College Choctaws were chosen to finish third in the Gulf South Conference. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED maga- zine also chose MC to finish sixth in the nation. With thirty eight returning letter- men, MC was easily in contention for the GSC championship title. v Mi f 2 ’ ' flsauj ’ «s.uiuar U4i ■ri « em mmf+ l satasr %mih 4 f Rf •� F J ,v% 59 : -r4 H7 3SF 4 mmxn , ™ liiT MigLOUJff. gssauir- W j? - ur -T J| ■■ I r misscblld lirtj mmrn? % w bwj?

Soccer team members were really excited about obtaining schol- arships this year, because it enabled MC to bring in new players to supplement the al- ready talented returning players. For the first time in several years the Chocs had two players per position. Although the season got off to a slow start, under the coaching of David Balyeat, the Soccer Chocs worked very hard on defensive and offen- sive techniques. This year MC hosted the Choctaw Cup in which three Gulf South Conference teams participated. Delta State, U-T Martin, and Mississippi College played at MC; since MC boasts the best soccer field in the state. MC defeated Delta State twice to capture the very first Choctaw Cup. With a positive attitude, they turned their season around, and there ' s no stopping them now. ■■■ MEN ' S RECOUPS 10000 M 5 Ml .s.si WOMEN ' S RECORPS 5000 M k S. 5000 M | S. 2 Ml TRAIL BLAZERS Mississippi College 1985-86 Cross Country Schedule September Southern Mississippi Inv.

A traditional sport has finally made its debut on the Mississippi College campus. Volleyball has always been a very interesting sport of a lot of campuses, but never at M.C. Coach Rowanna Pope, a former MC standout in three different sports, felt the need for a volleyball team at M.C. because it is another sport for women to build and excel in. Coach Pope attended several camps and workshops this sum- mer in order to learn more about the sport. This was a building season for the Lady Chocs. In the beginning, many of the players had some ex- perience, but lacked organization. The Lady Chocs had their share of struggles but that is not unusual for any team just starting out. In the future, Coach Pope has a lot of great plans for M.C s newest arri- val — Lady Choc Volleyball. Row ) Nancy Walsh, Arianna Hapgood, Becky Schnell.

Lady Chocs Rebuild The Lady Choctaws, coached by former Lady Choctaw standout Rita Easterling, face a difficult schedule. However, with the re- turn of seven starters from last year in addition to several talented recruits, the Lady Chocs still had high hopes. The Chocs began con- centrating on fundamentals and conditioning but soon began work- ing on developing a quicker, more run and gun type team. Another positive aspect was the participa- tion of four players measuring six feet or more. Coach Easterling saw this year as one of the best recruit- ing seasons ever and this proved true with the addition of seven freshmen. The high number of re- cruits will prove beneficial to the Lady Chocs next year with the loss of three seniors: leading scorer Cindy Hannon, Most Valuable Player Janet Smith, and starter Mary Ellen Andrykowski. WHILE BRENDA PHILLIPS keeps statistics and Coach Rita Easterling keeps watch, Lisa Remauldo keeps her hopes up.

The Mississippi College Choctaws, under the direction of Coach Doug Hines for thirteen years, began the season with great dreams. With two starters returning from last year, along with four other letter- men and a group of talented fresh- men and junior college transfers to augment the Choctaw ' s team. Coach Hines felt this was the best recruiting season since 1978. He slated quality recruiting and exper- ience of members as the reason behind the good season. The high point of the season for the Choctaws was the game be- tween MC and the Holland Olym- pic Team held in A.E. Wood Colise- um on November 20.

Raising school spirit is not an easy task but a special group of talented students took on this responsibility in full force. Building pyramids, perfecting stunts, and choreo- graphing dances are all part of the routine for the Mississippi College Cheerleaders. Their dedication and long practice hours were reflected in the outstanding perfor- mances at sport s events and numerous awards. Although the highlight of the year was Na- tional Cheerleading Competition during the summer, the MC cheerleaders attended the NCA Collegiate Cheerleader cham- pionship in Orlando, Florida in early Janu- ary. Despite being the only Division II school represented MC ' s cheerleaders ranked 18th out of 20 universities. The most well known of the cheerleading squad is the MC mascot, Chief Choc. Eddie Hatchett, as Chief Choc helped to enter- tain the children (at football and basketball games) as well as build the morale of the crowds.

With a team made up of very few returnees, the Choctaws came out ahead with a lot of hard work and determination. Frierson Field stayed full of action with either baseball games or practice. Each day the Mississippi College Baseball Player encountered a practice or a game. With three starters returning from last year, the team had to learn the best way to work together. Although their schedule was very busy, a winning style was evident. The MC Baseball team ended the season with a 29-28 record. When JAY ALBRIGHT was asked about the season, he replied, We had a young team this year with a lot of good talent. With more experience, each player will learn what to expect from other teams and himself better. THE CHOCTAWS FAVORITE PASTIME? Celebrating another victory, of course!

Under the direction of Dr. Barnes, Kevin White, and Art Stevens; in- tramural sports were much im- proved, and they have high hopes of even more improvements for next year. Dr. Barnes even held training ses- sions for intramural officials. Be- fore officials could judge a game they had to go through one of these sessions. Intramurals was a great way +o get together with friends and the most interesting part of intramurals was the naming of teams. This year ' s intramural groups included: the Generics, the Ex-Chocs, the Lakers, the Law Dogs, and the Choc Straps: Foobidee. ■1 1 ■ ATHLETIC HONORS ■I 8 i Lane Wilson Clyde Shelly Benny Hughes Cooper Pope Earl Conway Jim McGee Donnie Sanders Michael Fields Trip Garner Wade Clark Kembrell Young Jesus Hines 1 V 1 BK 128 r Squeal Night 1985 While Dinah McHalffey and Craig Olham look on, Kelton Morris and Larry Kegley make sure Beth Smith and Cindy Flowers aet . i rMr� T . • y owwu ana uirc i t.

They were voted Most Handsome, Most Beautiful, and Most Likely to Keep Students from Attending Classes. From 12:30-1:30 p.m. all dorm life ceased, voices were hushed, and coursework was put aside. The adventures of Bo and Hope kept us from calculus. Pete and Melissa ' s stormy relationship affected english literature.

Hederman-Gunter girls invited guests for goodies, carols, and overall Christmas festivity. 132 Animals On Campus A very special guest on MC ' s campus this year was “Miss C the chicken, af- fectionately referred to by Roger Lamb as the “yard bird. She seemed to enjoy the company of students and especially the tidbits of everything dropped con- viently for her consumption. I Other friends from the animal kingdom roamed MC at will. Likely to follow you ALL the way to class, was Gabriel. Even if your professors, your parents, and your roomate were mad at you, Gabe always had a friendly face to make you smile.

Those immortal words from Mark Veal opened each of our chapels. (Thanks, Mark, for making Mondays and Wednesdays a little bit easier to handle.) Actually, chapel time provided us all a chance to study to sleep, ( perchance to dream !), and to see every- body else! Luckily, we had some excellent speakers this year, and everyone always looks forward to the Model- ing Team Show at the close of first semester. I Ratliff Beach Student Body Elections Can you work the polls tomorrow? — I can ' t because I must get some signs made and put up. — Will you pass these out on your floor for me? — These are just a few of the common questions and statements during election time.

Each day seems to bring surprises to the campus during election time. Choosing campus leaders almost always is a hard task. ,i LAAVUA I Jr 4 139 I I Chief Choc helps Lisa Bryant, a MC Cheerleader, during the half time of a basketball game shoot for $30 from half court.

You can learn responsibility, how to make good decisions, and how to be initiative. However, you know you ' ve got trouble in the dorm when: 1 .

Mr. Art Stevens, SBA President To the Student Body: I would like to thank you very much for the opportunity to serve as Student Body President. This has been a year that I will always remember as being challenging, successful, but most of all, fun. I can not reflect on this year without pausing to thank Mark G. Veal, the rest of the SBA officers, and most of all, you the Student Body. Mississippi college has had through this past year its share of critics, but I believe that anyone who thinks that MC is mediocre has not seriously stopped to consider the quality of our student body. We have the best student body anywhere. I just hope that future SBA Presidents meet with the same cooper- ation and support that I have enjoyed while I was in office, because if they do, MC s superiority will not be questioned. Sincerly, Art Stevens Jeff Guynes Anna Hamilton Mark G. Veal MAB Chairman WAB Chairman Vice President Angela Smith Beth Raley Alicia Castillo Bae Brock Attorney Chief Justice Treasurer Secretary The 1985-86 Student Body officers stayed very busy working for Mississippi College Students. Much of the work was done during the summer before the fall semester began, T-shirts had to be ordered, committees chosen, and con- certs booked. Freshmen Orientation and refrigerators rentals began the SBA officers duties in the fall. I Love America Day soon fol- lowed with Parent ' s Day not far behind. With November, came the first produc- tion of MC Homecoming Follies along with Homecoming itself. Three high- lights of the Spring semester were changes in the intermural program, Spring Fever Day, and the Lee Green- wood concert. Throughout the year, each SBA officer had duties which required many hours. The Senate is a very good example of a responsibility which was continuous; and proved to be very profitable with the purchase of a sign for the student center, revisions in the constitution, and the purchase of a new typewriter for the SBA office as just a few of their accom- plishments. Elections, movies, ball- games, memos, traffic, ticket appeals, budgets, discipline cases, announce- ments and meetings were some of the activities which kept each officer busy. Homecoming follies and the Twister tournament on Spring Fever Day were two new events planned this year in hopes that they would become Missis- sippi College Traditions. Working to- gether as a team proved to be the win- ning element of the 1985-86 Student Body officers.

Member- ship is based upon a g.p.a. of 3.5 or higher during the first year of college. The pur- pose of A is: to encourage superior scho- lastic achievement among students in their first year of college, to promote intelligent living and continued high standard of learning, and to assist women and men in recognizing and developing meaningful goals for their roles in society. This year funds were raised to buy blankets for poor people in the Clinton area. They also sold Welcome Back-grams and turned the money over to Four Cs welfare agency to distribute the blankets. Publications Council With monthly meetings the first Wednes- day of each month in the Board Room of Provine Chapel, the Publication Council met to make policies concerning Student Publications. The three publications are: THE COLLEGIAN, THE ARROWHEAD, and THE TRIBESMAN. The Publication Council, which is made up of half students and half faculty, continually searched for ways to improve productions while also finding so- lutions for problems which arise. THE COLLEGIAN 85-86 Editor of THE COLLEGIAN was Kyle Moore and Hayden Dent was the Business Manager. Many hours of hard work go in to the production of each issue of THE COLLEGIAN. Many times people who were not on the original staff write various articles for the paper Assisting the Editor and the Busi ness Manager were Steven Shite, assistant editor, Janet Pope Sports Editor, Janice Donald, Candi Hamiter, Jane Hubbard, Larry Kegley, Kim Norman, Van Saveli, Ann Sommers, Eugene Stockstill, Melanie Sanderson, and Bill Williams — writers; Don Chene vert, and Ward Calhoun — photog raphers. Norman Gough serves as the sponsor. Kyle Moore, Editor THE COLLEGIAN is a weekly news paper supported and produced by the students of Mississippi Col lege. The paper covers campus events and other news of interest to students and is distributed Thursday evenings except during holidays and exams. The editor of THE COLLE- GIAN kept a busy sched- ule to say the least. While majoring in Physics, Kyle managed to teach a Phys- ics class at a highschool nearby and also write an Honors Paper. Dedication and hard work were defi- nitely elements found in Kyle ' s life. Being the editor alone took many hours of work and many times this work may seem unappre- ciated. Many thanks goes to Kyle for the production of the 1985-86 editions of THE COLLEGIAN.

Lag una Social Tribe i ' Laguna Social Tribe attempts to em- phasize the importance of love and sisterhood in their daily lives. Her col- ors are blue and white, her flower the blue carnation. Precious mice are her symbol. During the year Laguna proved again to be competitive at Derby Day and walked off with the trophy again. Lagunas are always busy, whether it be special projects or just having fun. Service projects in- clude the rock-a-thon for Muscular Dystrophy and helping out needy families at Thanksgiving and Christ- mas. By working in Laguna, each member is strengthened in all areas of their lives. Laguna uses the potential of each member to its fullest benefit. Thus, in the end, the goal of Laguna is reached in providing girls with well- rounded social lives by developing poise, personality, grace, leadership, and Christian ideals.

Happiness, in Nenamoosha, is symbol- ized by red hearts, roses, and teddy bears. Each girl stays very busy with var- ious activities in Nenamoosha. NT start- ed the year off right with Some En- chanted Evening as the rush skit and then stayed busy with a swap with both service clubs in the fall. One of the high- lights of the football season was a picnic before the Choctaws took on the Ga- mecocks. Service is one of the most im- portant aspects of Nenamoosha and therefore NT girls went to the hospital at Halloween to take candy to the chil- dren. They also took a needy family food at Christmas and Thanksgiving. In the Spring, Nenamoosha went to the Baptist Mission Center one Saturday to help them prepare to move to a new location. Nenamoosha attempts to emphasize participation, leadership, and the devel- opment of personality and Christian character. The song We Are One In the Bond of Love strengthens the mes- sage of togetherness and the bond of love which represents Nenamoosha!

Does anyone appreciate the sacrifices that I had to make to produce this yearbook? We wish the answer to the questions we kept asking would always be YES!! but we understand that unless you have poured your life into the publication on a yearbook, you can NEVER understand the extent of sacrifices that must be made.

With a new husband and a fifth floor apartment with a hole in the roof, no elevator, backwards plumbing and heating, and a neighbor who must go through her bedroom window to get to his apartment, Corrie has never been happier. Paul has his first case in court, her furniture has arrived, and she ' s planning a blind date for her mother with probably the most attractive man she ' s ever met. What could go wrong?

BAREFOOT IN PARK ran on October 15 and 17-19 in the Aven Basement Thrust Theater. This excerpt reprinted by permission from the September 26, 1985, edition of THE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGIAN. 196 Mississippi College Tribal Players THE RAINMAKER The cast and crew of the 1 986 spring pro- duction, THE RAINMAKER by Richard Nash, were Jeff Harwood as H.C., John Kelley as Noah, Dale Tadlock as File, Kim- berley Tanner as 1 Lizzie, David Compere as Jimmy, Scott Green as the Sherriff, and Allen Smith as Starbuck, Angela Stewart as Stage Manager, Chris Gibbs with lights and sound, Melissa Wright and Kim Norman with Box Office and Costumes, and Allen Smith, John Kelley, Kim Norman, Bert Douglas, and Cathy Andreasen with Pub- licity. Stan Tucker was the director of the production which was performed on Feb- ruary 25, 27-29 in the Aven Basement Thrust Theater. The play ' s main focus of attention is the Curry family — father H.C., sons Noah and Jimmy and daughter Lizzie, each with his or her own problems, but all faced with a dangerous lack of water. After winning his way into the stomachs of at least half of the family, Starbuck (rainmaker) con- vinces H.C. to invest 1 00 of his much need- ed dollars in a much needed rainstrom. The results which this swindler, con artiste, liar gets are a genuine surprise to all, in more than one way.

They did it in the park, they did it in the restaurants, they did it in their rooms and some brave souls even did it in the library. Yes, the truth is out: Mississippi College students . . . studied. From the rituals of nightly scholars to the panic of exam-crammers, every- body had a favorite place to toil in their quest for knowledge. Some chose to study close to home. Famous Wig-Wam milkshakes proved to be good brain-food and easy on the pocketbook. Studying in the quad or Lion ' s Club Park had a two-fold benefit: a tan and an excuse to take a frisbee break. The library media center was popular, but it closed at 10:00 p.m. And since calculus waits for no man — where toPP? You name it, there ' s probably been an MC student who ' s tried it! Several area eateries were plagued by groups of students huddled over coffee cups ' til the wee small hours. The Kettle and the International House of Pan- cakes served breakfast to hunger-rid- den history majors, swamped psych stu- dents, and little, lost language scholars. For studying on-the-run, the Krystal drive-thru was a lifesaver and of course, there was Skelly ' s (try the pecan pie!). For those who diligently devoured long texts in the privacy of their rooms, late- night media was the only hope. David Letterman kept some awake, while oth- ers cuddled up to their radios with the graveyard shift disc jockeys. Studying MC-style? Anything goes!!! v«f ii mr THE LAB SERVES as a great after-hours study hall.

Mississippi College, the only private school in the nationally recognized Division II conference, dominated the academic list after the athletes had used their playing ability to register a fine 7-2- 1 record during the regular season. They were nation- ally ranked almost the entire campaign. Mississippi College players honored were: Greg Bloodworth Earl Conway Tripp Higginbothan Tommy Hillman Dean Hudson Jim McGhee Joey Parham Lane Wilson Ruffin Reads Poems at Coffee Hour Dr. Paul Ruffin was the special guest speaker at the October 16th Humanities Coffee Hour. Dr. Ruffin, a native of Colum- bus, Mississippi, is a poet, a novelist and is the editor of The Texas Review. During the Hour he shared several of his pub- lished poems and a short story about determining the sex of a catfish. He also read On Susan ' s Toes , a humorous poem about the toes of a young student at the Sam Houston State University. Says Dr. Ruffin, Literature does not always have to be deadly serious. The Humanities Coffee Hour meets every month and is made possible by the cooperation of the English, foreign language and communication departments of Mississippi College. They attempt to provide a variety of interesting speakers and subjects to allow MC students to develop their cultural inter- ests. Glover Addresses Business- men British journalist Stephen Glover spoke to Mississippi College groups on three different occasions Thursday, Oct. 31, as part of a national lecture tour sponsored by the United States Industrial Council Educational Foundation. At noon he addressed a gathering of invited business and professional leaders of Jackson on the topic of The United States or the Soviet Union? South Africa ' s Ultimate Ally. Earlier in the afternoon, from 3-4 p.m., Glover met informally with students and faculty during which they discussed As- pects of Contemporary British Domestic Politics. Glover is African Affairs writer for The Daily Telegraph in London, England with additional responsibilities as editorial writer and columnist. Simmons Speaks at Spell Lectureship The Spell Lectureship for 1985 was held November 4-6. The guest speaker was Dr. Paul Simmons, Professor of Christian Ethics at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louis- ville, Kentucky. Dr. Simmons spoke in chapel on Monday and Wednesday, to the BSU on Monday evening, and to several Bible classes and the School of Nursing. Dr. Simmons has had experienced in the pastorate, he is in demand as a conference leader, and is the author of three books and numerous articles. He is listed in Who ' s Who in Religion, Director of Contemporary Authors, Director of American Scholars, Directory of American Scholars, Directo- ry of International Biographies, and Who ' s Who in the South and Southwest. Students Flock for Science Tourney They come from 1 80 of the over 300 public and private high schools across the state, from as near as Clinton to as distant as Corinth. There is even an entry from Arkansas. They are the participants of the twelfth annual Mississippi College Sci- ence and Mathematics Tournament. The competition is for $75,000 in scholarships, with first place in each division receiving $ 1 ,000. This was the largest turnout in the history of the fair, although participation has been fairly steady for the past five years. Each school may send a maximum representation of nine students, four of whom may also compete in team competi- tion. Each student elects to take two tests from the areas of math, chemistry, biology, and physics. Borman Addresses Air Safety At Press Conference Air travel is still the safest form of travel today. That state- ment came from Colonel Frank Borman, former astronaut, Air Force test pilot, and current President and Chief Executive Officer of Eastern Airlines who addressed the student body during the annual William B. Cockcroft Forum on Free Enter- prise on Sept. 1 8. Following the chapel address, Colonel Borman held a brief press conference in the media center studio to respond to questions from the news media, school officials, and a class of journalism students. Most questions asked concerned the apparent safety of current air travel due to the recent series of airplane crashes killing hundreds of passengers on flights throughout the world. 205 I COMMENCEMENT May 17, 1986 COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES A.

Volume 49 was printed by Herff Jones Year- books of Montgomery, Alabama. Volume 49 is the first summer delivery book published here at Mississippi Col- lege. Many of you may think that all of the problems this book encountered was caused because of the new deliv- ery date. Let me assure you that the new delivery date had nothing to do with the problems that occured. After con- ducting a survey among the student body, the choice of a summer delivery was reinforced. The summer delivery al- lows each yearbook to contain the complete school year in one book. It is supposed to be delivered by fall registration of the next year with the seniors being given the option to have their yearbooks mailed to them. Since the production of the yearbook is a service all students pay for, it is also our hope that more students will receive their copy of the yearbook in the future. After a few years, you will see the advantages of the summer delivery. CLOSING REMARKS As I sit here and draw out this layout for the second time, I have to admit this is the best feeling I have had in a while. We had decided not to have a write up like this one, but because of the events that have happened since we thought the yearbook was finalized, we decided you deserved some type of explanation for the delay of the delivery of this yearbook. To say the very least, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. First of all our representative at Herff Jones Yearbooks became very ill and then the final shipment of pages for the yearbook (about 90 pages) was lost in the mail! Go ahead believe it — I finally had to! When I received the news that the last shipment had not been received at the plant, I thought it was someone ' s idea of a joke. Quickly it became a reality! With much hard work and many long hours, I am finally finishing up this yearbook for the second time. As we mentioned earlier in the organization section, I understand that you can not comprehend all of the events that have happened and the sacrifices that have been made for you to be reading this right now. So many times I thought all of the pages were at the plant being processed only to find out differently later. Everything is to the point now that I will not believe this book is completed until I hold the finished product in my hands! Many lessons have b een learned through this whole nightmare and right now I feel like the mistake of saying YES to being co-editor of this yearbook will haunt me forever! The only way I will feel like this 1 986 yearbook was worth half the trouble is if you look at it years from now and remember your 1 985-86 school year at Mississippi College! — Angela THANK YOU . . . A NOTE TO YOU Cindy, Kahla, Kim, Mary Katherine, and Kyle for your dedication and sacrifice to the production of this yearbook. (The infirmry and The Student Center somehow have new meanings now!) Dr. Graves and Dr. Cox for your support and encouragement, especially when we were faced with yet another unexpected event. Thanks for believing in me, because sometimes I did not think I was going to survive. Mr. John Evans for taking over as our representative and keeping a positive attitude. Ms. Debbie Kennedy and Ms. Lou Johnson at the plant for keeping us updated on the progress of the yearbook. Mr. Norman Gough and Mrs. Louise Hudson for listening to all of the student and faculty complain about the late delivery of this book. Jeff Wilson for stepping in as Photo Editor and doing a Wonderful job. Becky Montgomery for typing the complete Senior Index. Rev. and Mrs. James E. Smith for your understanding attitude when I did not get to come home much because of the hours I had to spend redoing this yearbook and for forgiving me for saying YES to being co-editor of another yearbook! (I promise I have finally learned my lesson!) Beth, my sister, for listening to all of my complaints and giving me the confidence I needed to complete this book for the second time. Thanks also for assuring me that at least one person will appreciate everything I sacrificed. Everyone who had anything to do with the production of the 1986 Tribesman for everything they contributed. — — DEDICATION THE 1986 TRIBESMAN IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF MR. BILL BENSON Mr. Bill Benson spent most of his life in the publication business and has handled the publication of the Mississippi College yearbook even before he was with the Herff Jones Yearbook Company. He was very dedicated to his job and even continued to work when he became ill. The past Mississippi College Yearbook Staffs owe a lot to Mr. Benson, so we would like to dedicate THE 1 986 TRIBESMAN to the memory of Mr. Bill Benson. MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE ALMA MATER 224 Rising in state as the crest of a hill; Staunch as a rock is our dear Alma Mater, Fairest of all is our dear Mississippi Round her so noble our hopes ever live. When in the future, our hearts may be yearning For the bright scenes of our dear college youth, Back to thy portals our memories turning, Clear beams thy beacon of virtue and truth. M.C. we hail thee, our dear Mississippi, Queen of our hearts, no foe shall alarm; Faithful and loyal thy children will ever Cherish thy mem ' ry, acknowledge thy charm.
