THE 1974 RETROSPECT IS DEDICATED TO DR. J. T. HALL. From the years 1966 to 1974, Mississippi Delta Junior College has been totally rebuilt in stature and in strength. Mississippi Delta has come from that old little hick junior college that no one had ever heard of, to be- come the leading junior col- lege in the state. Mo ' head has grown in size and also in in- fluence. Mississippi Delta is a junior college of tradition. This junior college is not what it was , nor, is it yet what it is going to be. But the evidence of growth in physical plant renovation and educational programs at present is dramatic. So, the stafl dedicates the 1974 Retrospect to the man who has been the most influ- ential director of the junior college ' s growth since 1966. Because of his leadership, the administrative staff and the faculty have tripled in size since 1966. He has extended the service of the junior col- lege to all areas of the Delta community. The whole of his profes- sional career is an impressive example of personal achievement. A veteran of World War II, he attended MDJC (then Sun- flower). He completed his un- dergraduate study at the Uni- versity of Southern Mississippi. He recently com- pleted his doctoral study at th e University of Mississippi. He began his teaching ca- reer as a coach and social science teacher at Areola High School. For five years he was the principal of Leland Ele- mentary School, and for an- other five years, he was the principal of Leland High School. For two years, he was the principal at Greenville High School, and he was an assistant superintendent for the Greenville Public Schools for one year. In 1966, he be- came the President of Missis- sippi Delta Junior College. He is a member of the Mis- sissippi Educational A.ssocia- tion, the Mi.ssissippi Associa- tion of School Administrators, the Mississippi Association of Junior Colleges, the National Association of School Admin- istrators, the Phi Delta Kappa and the Delta Kappa Pi. He is the past president of the Mississippi Association of Junior Colleges; he has been chairman of the Board of Dea- cons at the Moorehead Baptist Church; he is serving on the Executive Committee of the Delta Area Council for the Boy Scouts of America; the Board of Directors for the Mississippi Economic Council, and on the Executive Com- mittee for the Moorhead Ro- tary Club. He is a past presi- dent of the Leland Lions Club and the Washington County Educational Association. It is with deep respect and high regard that we dedicate the 1974 Retrospect to Dr. J. T. Hall.
