The clubs and organi- zations at MDJC are examples of how students express their love for the Pride of the Delta. By giving their time, talent, and service to the various programs, students are non verbally saying, ' We ' re proud of our school! Each organization has its own special purpose, but all of them have an overall goal: to produce society ' s best. Whether it is the band, publications staff, or Specta- tor Society, the effects of clubs and organizations are visible as stu- dents go on to reach immeasurable heights. It is believed that no student can excel academically without involv- ing him or herself in extra-curricu- lar activities. Student government, business fraternities, modeling squad, agricultural club, vocation- al-technical organizations. Specta- tor Society, journalism and school Organiza tions by Vernetta Whittaker publications, all fine arts organiza- tions, both vocal and instrumental, are all important Vitamin supple- ments to academic nutrition. Phi Beta Lamba is a business fra- ternity open to all interested busi- ness majors. The modeling squad is open to any beautiful coed who wants to be trained in social poise and grace. The modeling squad this year has done several fashion shows, including homecoming and Christmas. Being a part of the Spectator So- ciety means meeting people of dif- ferent lifestyles and backgrounds. This year the Society had the op- portunity to meet and converse with a German refugee and an original balladeer. VICA, the vocational-technical organization, had a busy year with their annual blooddrive, fruit sale, and convention. 1984-85, has been the year of the band. The marching pride of the Mississippi Delta increased 3 times its size over the preceding year. The band made itself known on campus this year by making ap- pearances at pep rallies, home and away games, and parades. The band became a very present orga- nization. This year it took its rightful place on the front seat at all MDJC happenings. Besides the band, the T.J. ' s and chorus have been on tour and in concerts throughout the year. And of course, the publications staff, reports it all with the on-the- scene coverage of anything that happens at MDJC in both The Delta Herald and The Retro- spect. Of course, any large institution is based on smaller organizations and working systems that come togeth- er to create a strong vision. The clubs and organizations at MDJC are among those little things that make MDJC mean a lot. 18
