vC i- M BgB .-- :.v .. . tJ,BM |1U]|BL l 1971 T)efuian Vofume XIJ99 7l fuisorJ. 7fa f T ofcfen Mississippi Valley State College is a diverse physi- cal plant, a new life for faculty, staff, and students who become a part of it each new scholastic year. As a college, the possibilities for knowledge and academic stimulation are as multitudinous as the students them- selves. Those who come here become a part of Mississippi Valley State College and when they earn a degree, after four years, they will take from the college what they want. The Delvian of 1971 will picture what Mississippi Valley State College is. Student life, as they work and play, think and par- ticipate, do research , accept a cultural heritage, com- pete in athletics, music, vocal and instrumental, speech, debate, drama and fashion careers for them- selves as teachers and workers in commerce and indus- try, is presented in this pictorial profile of 1970-71 happenings. — .—— . — -— . aiMmimiMiwii mmbwummiiihi m Home Life The Lounge Men ' s Five Story Dormitory At Valley State Our Normal Procedures Edna Horton Dormitory LJe Jlaue Jun na CJorA Va let Siaie Jrom A Jfarcf -iij Dai ' 3 Uor Uo M Jvelaxina Jiour 9irVSG TlifJeies yire On JAe TITo J) on mc( rat 7n Iciion Une (L)ou u ijneerleacfers ooi ' na J ieir own U£in Jll J.S.G.

White Twenty-one years of hard work, superb planning, dynamic leadership, drive, stimulating accomplishments have put all of us in Mississippi in deep appreciation of his genius and sincerity. A tribute to President J. H, White was written when Allen-White High School was given his illustrious name, when Lane College was given A rating by the Southern As- sociation, and when he had the courage to come down out of the hills of Tennessee to accept the challenge to build this great institution on a snake-infested swamp in the Delta Wilderness near Itta Bcna, Mississippi The story of his dream, of the struggle to build an institu- tion, despite the competition of the twentieth century, has been told time and time again. Any person who visits the Mississippi Valley State College campus will observe that the unique buildings — well equipped, the student citizenry with opportunities to be helped, friendly professors with high aca- demic standing, a well trained administrative staff and a wholesome relationship — all arc conducive to study and in- tellectural growth. Back of all his yesterdays has been the improvement of the people he has had the opportunity to lead. Here at Valley State the accreditation of MVSC by the Southern Association ot Colleges and Schools, its many affiliations, and the high requirements of conduct, respect for the right, appreciation of cultural values and desire to compete in athletics, music, speech, drama, and scholarship, combine tg make him im- mortal in history. We shall ask God to bless his latest move toward a devel- opment program which will contribute to Mississippi Valley State College as it is projected in awe-inspiring tomorrows. Friends Foundation, Inc. is the scene, the Big Book to keep record of a Million Friends, the supplement to state appro- priation, will continue the ideals for which he has given his useful and servicable life. Mrs. J. H. White has stood by the first and only President of MVSC throughout the years. She has made Friendship Manor, the home of the President, a home away from home. We appreciate our First Lady with all our hearts. President and Mrs. J. H. White jKrs. araeuer taAinq ine population coun of flour oeeiles.

BARBARA F rfj The DELVIAN ilSSISSIPPI VALLEY STATE COLLEGE AT ITTA BEN J% 254-2321 E-,en,.on 48 March 13 1971 Dear Fellows Student: The life and spirit of any College is a difficult thing to present. Each member of this year ' s staff had different ideas as to what should be included in a complete picture of college life. The task of deciding which aspects were most important and representative was a difficult one. It was our effort to portray the life force behind M. V. S. C. We feel that the work we have put into this book has been worthwhile. We have encountered late nights, late mornings on a decent cup of coffecu It meant some work, some determination many mistakes and new friend. But in doing so, thanks to Mr. Bolden and Staff for their help, we completed it. We tried to present new ideas and designs in the layouts. In doing this, we have worked toward one objective: to produce a yearbook of which the class of 1971 can be proud. We feel that we have accemplished this objective. .-ly yours. L. C.
