It offers a place to Uve, eat, work, learn and relax. The college years are a transition period for most students. It is a time when we find ourselves sliding out from under the protective wings of our famihes and movmg into the harsh world of business and the making of a living. Although college should prepare students for this working world, it acts as a lingering time of childhood for many. Unprotected by famihes, they cut loose and do all the Hving they possibly can before settling down. College life is different from any other period in a person ' s life, and students take advantage of it. MDJC was the college that offered it all. We could learn anything from welding to accounting to English. It was here that we found that we could choos e our careers, and also those special friends. We could explore our own ideas on life and make our own decisions. It was here that we learned a bit more about ourselves— our who else is more important than you? Fm glad you smiled for me— it made my otherwise ordinary day a holiday —Elizabeth Williams College is more than all study and tests. There are the moods, the friends, the competition, the cheering, the ab- solute idea of living. College is a process many of us go through to help pre- pare us for life. We will make our mistakes, but we will learn something in the long run: even if it is just to be happy. The 1979 Retrospect is dedicated to a man who for years has given unselfishly of his time and talent to the students on our campus. He has helped plan schedules, ar- range financial loans, advise on selecting se- nior colleges and choosing careers. He has taken time to get to know the stu- dents and to take an interest in their activi- ties. On occasion he has been a shoulder to cry on when we needed someone to turn to. The 1979 Retrospect is proudly dedicated to Mr. Joe Ray in deep appreciation for his loyal and never-ending contribution to the student body here. r THE ACTIVE BOARD GOVERNS ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION AND DEFINES PHILOSOPHY Henry Cain Otis Alien Mrs. S N Allen Hugh Arant T.J.

As traditional winners, the football, baseball, and basket- ball teams always rate special notice in The Retrospect. Al- though there have been special problems with picture-taking, this year is no exception. We salute the 1978 state baseball champions in this year- book, and we proudly hail the 1978 North Division football winners— the mighty Trojans.

MISS MDJC PAGEANT Anne Willians, a freshman journalism major from Green- ville, was crowned Miss Mississippi Delta Junior College in the annual pageant held April 20. The pageant is sponsored by the Moorhead Rotary Club. Thirteen contestants entered in evening gown, swimsuit, and talent competition. Each girl was also interviewed individually by the judges. During the month of July, Anne represented MDJC at the Miss Mississippi Pageant held in Vicksburg. She was judged in evening gown, swimsuit, talent, poise and charm. 154 ¥ 1  155 LPN CLASSES Students enrolling in Practical Nursing make initial application at local Mississippi State Em- ployment Services. MDJC offers training in five locations— Greenville, Cleve- land, Indianola, Greenwood, and Clarksdale. Upon satisfactory completion of the Employment Service test, students must then make accept- able scores on a Pre-Admission Test devised by the National League for Nursing. Then they are screened for admission by a review committee made up of school officials, hospital person- nel, and community repre- sentatives. The program, which requires 12 months of a student ' s time, is a combination of classroom and clinical instruction. Currently, MDJC has 102 stu- dents enrolled in Practical Nurs- ing classes. On the last State Board Test Pool Examination, MDJC students had a 92% pass- ing rate. (Above) Interview Committee: (1. to r.)

ADN CLASSES A NURSE ' S DAY Patsy Lamb is in the ADN program on the Moorhead campus. Her day consists of going to classes, working at the hospital in lab study, and taking care of husband Chuck Lamb and their home. Her day starts early and ends late. She has found, as all student nurses, that the program is 9V2 months of concenrated work which requires dedication and effort.
