In the midst of this existence lies one of man’s “noblest instincts, the pursuit of excellence and the drive for self- improvement that students at The Valley adopt in their own way. The 1977 Delvian follows its predecessors in reporting the nurtur- ing and development of the students at this University who come TO STRIVE. .. TO SEEK. . . TO LEARN. . . AND NOT TO YIELD. ’ AR | DAS 2b tata UR aM EO aS Lob a NED EB iad 33s pins RAL Rap eI f SLSR yee ba iee aay PON eR APS RATT ita ee eT a a —- n= Pe Sones + 2 = — -_ - a In pursuit of excellence and the drive for self-improvement many come to The Val- ley with quite specific aims.

In the process, viable relationships and values are formed. , BARA A ot ens cae THE ACADEMIC SKILLS PARLOR has many par- lors within the parlor in an attempt to meet all modes of study. The parlor has designed an informal parlor for those students who study best in an informal setting — be it in the ‘‘Conversa- tion Pit,’’ or the ‘‘Bean Bag Nook.”’ AEN COMMUNICATIONS FINE ARTs TUTORS SCHEDULES PHYSICAL SCIENCE a a e READ AND DY SKI TECHNICAL EDUCATION As Aue B ‘ TIME IS NOW TO MAKE YOUR MOVE START MAKING A's “ B’s TODAY YOU CAN BOOK, STUDY, WHATEVER YO In an attempt to strive for better speech models, the students in the parlor view various television programs to identify with an ideal speech model. Some students are turned on more so in the structured formal settings as depicted in the reading parlor where students are actively involved. THE FOURTH ANNUAL CAREER FAIR, sponsored by the Career Counseling and Placement Office, is another example of how MVSU strives to pres- ent learning opportunities to Valley students and students from the surrounding community. Area High School and Valley students had a gol- den opportunity to learn about various careers available in Mississippi, the nation and the world in continuing education, government services, and private industry. ryHERA t BYPERIMEN!

In COUNSELING the concept of individuality is accepted .. . there is recognition of the fact that each person has needs, con- cerns, feelings and problems that are unique to him in his personal life. Pi oy, By using interviews, tests, surveys, inventories, occupational and educational information and referrals with counseling, the students strive to understand themselves and their world in order to make the wisest decisions about their future.

Indeed, it took a lot of hard work, time, and energy, but finally a dream of hope became a reality. The 1977 Delvian reminds us of many cherished memories — the joys, sorrows, and sur- prises that happened during the past year. We have attempted to capture, in pictures and words, some of the moments that may have made the year special at Mississippi Valley State University. | wish to express sincere gratitude to the staff and section editors who alleviated much of the work that had to be done. Special thanks and appreciation to Miss Hattie Jenkins, Advi- sor, and Mr. Floyd Bailey, Photographer, for their assistance — without their immobile initi- ative the Delvian would not have been completed. My sincere thanks also goes to Mrs. M. E. Fingal, Director of Development Services, for her moral support — a much needed asset in the production of this yearbook. To all Delvians, | present to you the 1977 Delvian. We, the staff, truly hope you will enjoy this edition. It is understood that no two men see things exactly the same, so try to see this review the way we saw it, and next year add a helping hand. 4 SPUROEET ET Vi TPMT TIITAE) PETA SEPT OEE EIDE IEA LST ERTS ET) [5 CED EE SN TAH LASER TNH STS IE PDT Ld 0 SE SS IE TD et.
