Mississippi Delta Community College - Retrospect Yearbook (Moorhead, MS)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1973 volume:

I i |on Shirley ° Business Manager Margaret Broussard ° Cover Artist Gary Howse I The nostalgic theme of the 73 RETROSPECT reflects the heritage of Mississippi Delta Junior College students — in par- ticular—the Old South and the ghost towns of the Mississippi Delta. And for the MDJC campus, it was a year of deaths as several of the ghosts of old buildings dating back to SAHS days were replaced. Buildings that had haunted campus for decades were replaced b - new. modern ones such as the boys ' dorm, the fine arts-administration complex, and the library-learning resources center. Nostalgia for old Moorhead as a thriving railroad town and for the shadows of historical southern values are reflected in some of the pictorial settings of the 73 RETROSPECT. 7 i Student researchers enjoyed discussing these extinct towns which had existed mainly by the rivers and railroads. The towns ' deaths came with the death of commerce and trade over river boats and railroads in the old agrarian economy of the rural Delta. Students became aware of the impact of this economic change on more abstract values. The calendar year of 1973 began at MDJC with ice and snow, adding an extra day to the Christmas holidays. Rain, a frequent weather condition, left many a mud puddle to be tromped through all the school year. Somehow, through all the clouds, the sun survived, and shone on MDJC helping to create many memorable days. student life Students ... human beings learning together laughing together sitting on the grass in the sunshine walking 6 running in the rain . . . sloshing through the mud . . . trying to make it before that last bell . . . sitting in the grill. . . drinking a coke . . . smoking a cig . . . waiting patiently in the lunch line . . . playing cards . . . chess . . . shooting pool . . . kissing good night on the dorm steps . . . makingfriends . . . making memories of M.D.J. C. Brenda Mclntyre Scott Jones Editors The life of the MDJC ' er of 1972-73 varied with each individual. There was no one way to describe the typical MDJC student. They were white, black, Chinese, German, and Italian. They were Catholic, Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Baptist, and atheist. They were conservative, radical, Vietnam veteran, C. O. ' s and liberal. The majority voted Nixon, some voted McGovern, many didn ' t even bother to vote. When the cease fire was announced by President Nixon, many were thankful, some were stunned, but apathy over- ruled. Some of the students lived on campus during the week, and on the weekends they all raced to desert the campus leaving it to look like a ghost town until 8:25 Monday morning returned. The majority of the 1500 day students on campus commuted either by one of the ten buses, in their cars, or car-pool, or by foot. They were single, married, divorced, and widowed. The age of the Mississippi Delta student varied as much or more than any other single item. Ranging from 16 to 70, they were all united at MDJC seeking their one common goal — knowledge — an education. Although all were seeking a common goal, some tended to forget and detour to the delapidated bait shop or the pool hall located on main street of Moorhead to booze it up. And, there were a few on our campus, as everywhere else, who believed their time was better spent smoking marijuana than attending classes. But, over all, the majority of our students did attend classes, saved their three free cuts for Christmas parade, Mardi Gras and spring fever, and studied hard. Along with the girls, canaries, goldfish, turtles, and even a frog occupied the girls ' dormitory. Nursing student ' s practiced giving shots to oranges, tomatoes, and diagrams of humans on their beds. All were concerned with the war, inflation, drugs, and abortions. MDJC Student Plays... Many MDJC ' ers could be seen spiriting their bikes out of a hiding for a spin around the campus between classes . . . There were many attempts at organized entertainment on the MDJC campus this year. There was a reception honoring President J. T. Hall on Thursday evening, September 14, in the student union building. The reception was a traditional social sponsored each year by the Women ' s Dorm Council. Entertainment was provided by the Dorm Council, the R.A. ' s, and some other female students . . . Several monthly President ' s Breakfasts were held in the Vandiver Student Union during the fall. The purpose of the breakfasts was to make for better understanding between administration and students by giving them a chance to talk informally. . . The football cheerleaders had something new — a spirit jug — to boost the spirit of the fans and the Trojans. It yvas used in a contest between freshmen against sophomores to see who could have the most spirit at pep rallies. . . After the homecoming game on Saturday, October 21, a SO A sponsored dance was held in the Armory with an estimated 225 students attending. The Stillbrooke provided the music. . . Our beautiful, new library-learning resource center served as a place of refuge for many who needed and wanted to study, to do research, or just to relax. Two-hundred forty-five students made the honor roll first semester. The earphones, in the library, from which varied rock music such as Grand Funk and Jethro Tull could be enjoyed, were used by many. The grill seemed to be used more this year than ever before. The hungry enjoyed all types of new food ranging from pizzas to Trojan submarine sandwiches. The music was louder. Chattering voices and laughter pervaded the air. MDJC ' ers discussed everything from English symbolism papers on Heart of Darkness, to setting the type for the DELTA HERALD to their fear of giving their first speech in class. The Mr. Quik served hot, fried chicken, potatoes, and rolls to those who didn ' t have the patience or desire to endure the long lines of the cafeteria and grill. The B.S.U. was a place of worship and congregating, and its commuter lunches were most delicious. Macon Lake was the scene of many celebrations even when there was nothing to celebrate. Like other American youths, they indulged in the wave of nostalgia in fashion reflecting the ' 50 ' s — or in the mania for recycling clothes. They dressed in jeans, smocks, C.P.O. jackets, boots. There were sandals, heels, platform shoes, short skirts, midi skirts, maxi skirts. Wide-legged cuffed pants, capes, hats, mufflers, gloves, sweaters, formed the layered look . Red finger nails, toe nails, lips and cheeks prissed across the campus. Hair as short as can be imagined to waistlength was the style of the year. Curls like never before bounced about the heads of many of the girls. The SGA Christmas dance, December , for which Cross provided the music, was a failure — hardly anyone attended. The dress for the dance was semi-formal for girls and coat and tie for the boys. Most MDJC ' ers must have felt that to pay $5.00 and have to dress up was asking too much of them . . . The VICA Club members repaired toys for underprivileged children in their Christmas project, Toys for Tots . . , Roni Dengel, actress and dancer, performed in the MDJC Band Hall on January 22. Miss Dengel was named as Mississippi ' s Affiliate Artist . . . The fine arts department at MDJC staged a Fine Arts Festival in the new fine arts building that lasted f i om April 1 through April 30. Many different phases of the arts-music, drawing and painting, and drama were explored during the festival. Musical concerts by the T. J. ' s and the Chorus were staged along with student art exhibits. Mrs. Jan Ray ' s acting class presented two drama productions during the activities. Mississippi ' s artist Floyd Shaman, a member of the faculty at Delta State, was present with an exhibit of his sculpture in the new Fine Arts Gallery. Included in this sculpture was Earth Spring, the Shaman sculpture, purchased by the college for the Fine Arts Gallery. Santa Glaus was popular and very friendly with the girls at the dorm party. Works Many entering freshman and sophomore students at MDjC turn to the college ' s financial aid program, work-study, as a means of paying their way through school. A lot of the students living in the dormitory paid their tuition and their room and board through the financial aid program which allows a student to work ten hours weekly, 40 hours a month at $1.60 an hour At paging dates, stamping cans, In order to work on the college campus, a student must qualify according to his financial status. Many of the dormitory students on the program worked as desk assistants in the main lobby of the dormitory. Their job was to answer the phones, page girls when visitors came, and check the date cards. Many students worked as secretaries to the different instructors, grading their papers, and typing their tests. shelving books, and typing notes Students, employed by the cafeteria and grill in the student union, served food in the cafeteria and grill lines. Those working in the publications department typed copy, wrote copy, designed and laid out the student newspaper and annual, took pictures, developed pictures, and printed THE DELTA HERALD. school paper. They worked off — Campus Students, who worked as library assistants, checked audio-visual equipment and books in and out, shelved books, read shelves, and always kept an eye out for book thieves. A few students worked in the Office of Student Affairs and at the information desk in the Student Union. Those working at the information desk gave information to the uninformed, answered phones, paged people, and checked out various games, such as chess and checkers to the students. and on — Campus Then there were the ten bus drivers who drove the commuters to and from MDJC daily. They made daily trips from Moorhead to Cleveland, Greenwood, Greenville, Clarksdale, Hollandale, Belzoni, Rosedale, and Rolling Fork. A good many students worked at various jobs off campus after their s chool hours. Their jobs ranged from farming, nursing, grocery stores, telephone operators, county supervisor, army recruiter, gins in the fall, factories fo different types, to policemenr. 0 -erall. the students and instructors at MDJC communicated and responded as one. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. Their thoughts and opinions reflected mutual ideas and feelings. In an opinion poll on the ceasefire settlement in Vietnam, the faculty and students expressed their anxiousness for the return of the P.O.W ' s and soldiers, and for the ceasefire. Parking tickets, forms. . . ' were offset by personal attention and concern Always ready and waiting for a holiday, the students and teachers prayed for snow, Christmas, spring, Easter, and summer holidays to arrive. The enjoyment of such a comfortable r elationship was just one of MDjC ' s assets. thinks The students, in general, at Mississippi Delta, worried over their classes, their class projects, tests, term papers and exams. They thought and worried over the war and the P.O.W. ' s. Everyone was relieved when the war ended and most of all when our P.O.W. ' s were returned safely to the United States. And, still, some worried over the terms of the cease-fire, of the U.S. rebuilding North Vietnam. Many gave much thought to the idea of PEACE. And everyone welcomed the news of the draft being done away with. The presidential election of November 7 caused much debate. The majority supported President Nixon. Everybody believed Nixon would end the war and that the country was in a state where a change would be drastic. McGovern and his yo-yo campaign impressed few. There was much controversy, agreement, disagreement, and apathy toward pollution of all types, drugs, abortions, and the Women ' s Liberation Movement, and a new side walk between the Vo-Tech building and the Student Union. The whole campus, administration, faculty, and students wondered and worried over the completion date of the new Administration-Fine Arts Complex. { The boys living on the campus worried three-fourths of the year about when they would be able to move into their beautiful new dormitory, THE DELTA HEARLD staff spent many hours thinking, wondering, debating, and worrying about whether the newspaper would be published in time. THE RETROSPECT staff also spent many sleepless nights worrying over the layout of the annual, where to place the pictures, how much space to allow for copy and final deadline. Some students gave much thought to if and when they should cut their classes, while many gave no thought whatsoever to cutting their classes. Sophomore students in two-year fields worried over whether or not they would meet the graduation requirements of the college. The students planning to go to senior colleges gave much thought to what college it would be and how they were going to adjust to the change. Jerry Glower headlined REW March 11, 12, 13. BSU offered Noon Day and rap sessions for everybody looks This was the year of the suit, the really tailored, really together suit. Jackets ranged in length from the waist to the cardigan length. They were accompanied by skirts, pants, or shorts. The spring of 73 was a soft spring that eased its way in with fluffy angora-and-wooi knits done up with the greatest of pastels. The baby pastels were the season ' s most lovable new arrivals. Newborn pinks and powder blues captured the fashion scene for a look that was soft, but casual. The shoes were also attention getters, shining out from under the cuffs in patent leather that reflected the classic look. The stacked heel and sole were a strong base for the powerful plaid suit, while the simple moccasin toe kept the area from being too busy. When the chunky high-nose shoes first appeared on the fashion horizon, the look was fresh and bizarre. The new low- slung footwear was the next best thing to being barefoot. very mod Pleats drew attention to the waistline, that has been dominated in years past by the belt. The elastic belt, with leather closure attachments, was narrower than before. The stripes and colors provided added interest, yet it did not conflict with the shirt pattern of the pleats. However, MDJC ' ers seemed to love their faded bell bottom jeans and work shirts the best. Contrast of black and white dress . . . results in such things as afros, barrettes, clogs, elephant ear pants, crazy hats, and an anything goes attitude love is the name of the game what ever happened to the dress? 3 S « we have organizations .... and organizations have leaders. 1.

All of the clubs were open to any interested student, with the exception of Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society. They all managed to meet at their scheduled time in spite of their bus ' commuter and academic schedules. The clubs took part in various activities throughout the year, to raise money for their projects and to create interest among the students. The Phi Theta Kappa Club was open to students who were enrolled in a program to receive a B.A. or B.S. degree or a Technical degree, and who had completed one or more semester and a B or better average. Candidates for this club were also judged on desirable character traits and service contribution to the school. The Cirle KClub won third place in the Homecoming exhibits on October 21. They sponsored a dance in the Union at MDJC on Thursday, February 22. Mississippi Rain provided music and this danc« was the biggest success in entertainment for the entire year. In March, they sponsored a blood drive on the campus. The first project of the VICA Club (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) for this year was building a homecoming exhibit, which wonfirst place. Their other successful project was Toys for Tots. The VICA members collected old, broken toys and repaired them for underpriviledged children in this area. The toys were distributed at Christmas through the National Guard.

The Art Club sponsored the MD]C Art Bazaar in November. All work sold at the bazaar was done by the art students and teachers at Moorhead. The profits from the Art Bazaar went to the Art Club treasury to be used on their project, renovating the old fountain between Tanner Hall and the new Fine Arts building. The art work of six MDJC art students was shown at the second annual Mississippi Junior College Art Exhibition at Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus. The Electronics Clubs discussed plans for re-organizing, in hopes of encouraging interest and membership on the campus. The project of the Nurses Club was to make pre-nursing students feel welcome. Their fall program, The functions of the Nurse Anesthesist , was given by Becky Cook, R.N., C.N. A., class of ' 68 MDJC graduate. The pre- nursing students were invited. Representatives from the SMEA (Student Mississippi Education Association] Club attended a meeting in Jackson, Mississippi, on September 9 to participate in the restructioning of the association. Mrs. Melba llalbrook. MDJC English instructor, and Mrs, Jan Ray, MDJC speech and drama instructor, spoke on their teaching experiences at an SMEA meeting on October 11.

Mr. John Hanbery, new to the MDJC music staff, directed the Trojan Band on to the field with new choreography and a variety of musical themes. Also this year for the first time a rifle team and flag team directed by Mrs. John Hanbery added color to the home field. Mr. Hanbery also dressed up the Trojan performance by getting new uniforms. They came just in time for the State Championship game. The new uniforms, not to be used just once, also saw action at several Christmas parades in Greenwood and Cleveland. The Marching Band had a fine year adding on as the year got older, building up as if they had been working for years together before coming out into the center of all attractions. Members of the 1972 Trojan Band are: Trumpets — Sumner Spradling, Gregg Bennett, Ricky Richards, Bruce Boyd, Malcolm Dye, Virgil Quicksall, Gary Crawford, Ronnie Fullilove.

Lejand Training programs expand throughout community Mississippi Delta Junior College was not limited by the boundaries of its Moorhead campus. Through its off- campus program, the college set up training centers throughout the community where they were needed (and so desired.) In Clarksdale, there was a medical laboratory technology program, under the direction of Dean Spradling in its third year. The ratio of jobs to graduates was 3 to 1. There was an 18 month pilot program, experimentally designed to up- grade LPN ' s, employed by the hospital, to the level of a registered nurse. This program was under the supervision of Mary Denman Johnson. Both of these programs utilized the facilities of Coahoma County Hospital. 1.

Mrs. Ellen Oaks (left) and Mrs. Liz Williams frightj work closely with Chief Administrative Official Roy Myers of Washington County General Hospital in developing LPN classes in Greenville. Allied health fields and the unemployed receive special attention In Greenville, MDJC sponsored two LPN classes at Washington County General Hospital, a radiologic technology (x-ray) program at Kings Daughers Hospftal, and an MDTA (training facility) program at the old Air Force base. The MDTA was operated under the direction of the Vocational-Technical department and the Mississippi State employment agency. The purpose of the MDTA program was to assist unemployed people in upgrading their education (or knowledge) to the position of a permanent job and salary. An LPN program was supervised by Mississippi Delta at Leflore County Hospital in Greenwood, at East Bolivar Hospital in Cleveland and at South Sunflower in Indianola. LPN instructors were Mrs. Yvonne Walls, Greenwood; Mrs. Mary Grisson, Indianola; Mrs. Dovie Chun, Cleveland; Mrs. Ellen Oaks and Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, both of Greenville. 1.

Rodnrv r Deltettes become tradition; first year for flag and rifle corps was successful The Deltettes have become a tradition not only at MDJC but throughout the Delta for their appearances and Christmas parade costumes. The Deltettes are a girls ' drill team under the direction of Mrs. Betty Aden. A flag and rifle corps were formed this year for the first time in the school ' s history. Their precision drills and their presentation of flags created many interesting comments. They were under the direction of Mrs. Mary Beth Hanbery.

They provided very interesting and entertaining moments for students and faculty, usually during the noon hour in the Student Union. The Stagehand was under the direction of Mr. John Hanbery. Mr. [oe Abrams directed the Chorus. Three members of the Stagehand made All-State Band. They were Bill Halbrook. Sumner Spradling, and Chuck Doze. The new uniforms for the marching band came at the end of the ' 72 marching season, just in time for the last game and the Christmas parades. In early November, the MDJC band received new uniforms. The new uniforms, that are basically red. were modeled after a West Point style. The coats are red with a black front and each band member wore white crossed belts. The hats are basic white band hats. This year ' s T.J. ' s, who were last year ' s Trojannaires. seeked a new look, new sound, and an all around new image. The first of the three new acts featured modern songs for this routine. The girls wore red coats, white skirts and boots, and the boys were dressed in white pants and navy sweaters and boots. The T.J. ' s second act was a patriotic salute, which produced favorable reactions from the audiences who heard it. To support the patriotic mood, the girls wore coats of red and white stripes with blue stars and the boys wore white pants with blue shirts and red vests. trojannaires become the t. j.

It has been bright as a diamond sometimes; yet. on the other hand, it has been dark as night at other times. The 1973 RETROSPECT has tried to portray the individu al MDJC student and the many aspects of his life. But without the help of a special few, this attempt would have been futile. To these I extend my thanks: Miss Laney Wooten, my advisor, whose knowledge and advice is only out-weighed by her patience; Mr. W.A. Benson. Jr., who helped with those last minute problems; Lamb ' s Studio, who always diligently tried to please me; Jackie Campbell, who typed many a word for me; Terry Wax, whose patience in the dark room helped out on those last minute pictures; Cary Howse, who designed the cover; David Rushing, for his shot that went into the Sludi;nl Life Section; The student body and fHf;ully for their cooperation and patience; And las! but not lf;a l, lh(; sliiff. 164
