' The Pride of Mississippi Delta Junior College ' ' Still Life by James Sewell
”

“
Have you ever met a humble Deltan? We doubt it. We have pride so entrenched in our behavior that we aren ' t even aware of it. In fact, most of us rebel at such an old- fashioned notion when it comes up in our discussions with our elders. We chafe at such admonishiments as ' Tou ought to take pride in what you do, or, ' Tou ' re too proud to do that, we know (top, center) Shaye Rawson analyzing cotton after classes. (Sewell) (middle, left) I ride with pride — my Harley is American made, says Ricky Vaughn. (Sewell) (middle, right) Pride of the Delta (Hutchinson) Ue But it ' s there — underlying every one of our 1,547 individual actions and goals. Why else would we board a bus at Gary, Miss., and ride 120 miles a day round trip to school? Why else would we spend 20 hours a week in class and 30 hours a week work- ing at harvesting soybeans or sacking groceries in the Sunflower store? Why else are our sports teams tradi- tionally labeled the archrivals of other teams? Why else do we play the roles of red- neck, ' good ole boys, and ' ' Southern Belles to the hilt? Pride — that gutsy determination that we can do whatever we have the will, the fortitude, and the courage to attempt underwrites our daily routines. Whether we are from no-stoplight towns like Isola or from the paved streets of Clarksdale, we have a pride based on agrarian values and the Christian heri- tage — and there is none better. This year ' s Retrospect characterizes the pride that Mississippi Delta Junior College exhibits in all phases of activi- ties on its campus. We hope as you pre- view what the book deals with, you will see that we have attempted to reflect that our self-esteem influences every- thing that we do, and we believe that the Deltans are the best people in the world.
