Northwest, as a part of the iunior coilevge program has raised the cultural and educational aspects of thou- sands within the Northwest Mississippi area. Many phases ot life are found on the col- lege campus. As a newly initiated college student, the freshman begins to understand himself and the meaning ot life bythe ac- tivities around him. The activities on the campus are many, consisting ol: academic and athletic programs, organizations and recreational 'Facilities in its thirty-eight years ot growth North- west has not only expanded its enrollment, lout also its achievements. Ilxll lite consists ot moods, emotions and 'Finally ci spirit created by life's interwoven activities. 'lhe spirit in the lite of a North- west student is unique and versatile be- cause at the many opportunities opened to each student. Between the covers of the Rocketeer it is hoped that the spirit of Northwest is cap- tured and that this spirit reflects the moods common on the Northwest Mississippi .lun- --ar Iollege campus. i-asm!

At Northwest the administrative officials conduct meetings to discuss problems and make new rules. This group of educated adults have charge of policy-male ing functions on campus, so that Northwest will continue to be a growing and respectable institution. Not only must rules concerning the students be made by the administrative official, but they must also be carried out by them. In spite of their different jobs the officials of NWJC have, at all times, present in their minds one objective: To better educate and prepare young college students for their individual roles in life. l 9 The Administration Opens The Doorways To Education QL E Board of Supervisors ' A K g yiggigff Board members from t BENTON COUNTY Wyatt Thomas G.

Fortunate indeed is the young person who has had the privilege to live, grow, and develop during this the mid-period of the twentieth century. We are living in an age of explosion--the atomic bomb, population, industrial, and education. I fully realize that the Rocketeer staff has felt the pressure of growth and progress. Each year it becomes necessary to put forth greater effort to give a true picture of Northwest Mississippi Junior College. Many people wonder about the dedication of the youth of the present generation, however, I am delighte to know that a dedicated and unselfish group of student have given of their time and talents so freely in thc development of the Rocketeer. This publication within itself is a credit to the student body and faculty, and once again may I say nthank you.n , Sincerely yours, Q 1 f w ' T! R. D.

For an institution such as Northwest to use its resourses in thte most efficient, econo- mic and benificial way, there must be some method of organization. Therefore, Northwest has been organized into departments, with each department having a chairman. The de- partment work is supervised by the chairman and through compromise and iudgement each department evolves a program best suited for Northwest students. The departments o f f e r i n g technical courses make every effort to prepare their students for productive and creative posi- tions. These students learn specific skills and are well-trained to perform eixpert tasks. Most other departments prepare their students for more extensive training. The as- sociate degrees earned by Northwest stu- dents in various fields transfer to senior col- leges and universities. Agriculture Gary Carson A. M. Briscoe B. S. Agriculture -g MB. 5.

Whether a student is in his room, at a meeting or a ball game, or iust relaxing and eating, he is being iust a student. His teachers and friends make up a necessary part of his life and contribute to his education. The center of a student's life is his room. It is here that he socializes, studies and Ponders the questions of life. 48 The most important part of any school, the one thing that no school could function without, is the student. Without the student there would be no need for teachers or classrooms. The student is the most important part of any school and it is with this in mind that all school programs are designed. Such is the ca-se with Northwest. All programs are set up for the student and center- ed around the student. 49 3 ,B Hands Were Busy ., 4' :nl ttfgvtks 0 0 ' '- A X,, ,gx g43:'.

It is here that NWJC stu- dents attend lectures, take notes, work in laboratory situations, and accept or question the facts brought before them in the class- room. Here the students accept the challenges of tomorrow and the food of knowledge for their minds. The classes at Northwest are comprised of the freshman, sophomore and cosmetology cla'sses. In these classes new friendships are made and old ones renewed. The teacher-pupil relationships cretclrte a congenial atmosphere in the classroom. Indi- vidual counseling, in and out of class, imposes a sense of security on the students. 60 W 61 OFFICERS: Sharon Twomey, Reporter, Mary McEwen, Secretaryg and Carey Embrey President.

One of the greatest things that happens to any student is recognition by his fellow stu- dents. For this purpose, the Who's Who contest is held each year. ln this, students elect their fellow students to such honors as Mr. and Miss Northwest, Most Likely to Succeed, and other campus honors. Recognition of a student by his fellows is one of the nicest things that can hap- pen to a student at Northwest. With this in mind, Northwest actively supports the Who's Who contest and other student activities. The election each year is sponsored by the ROCK- ETEER staff. -- -- EIXLLOT QB UX . ,Q 1 ,1 VOTE' HERE!f inurl '-Qu -.M .N ,M v F x ur' A, af' -lr- I3l we' ws' 11'-'wg . -ww ,mar guy-fi-zqg lg wsgiryg, 4 1 3 'I' axfi' ' 'Vw1,1g::iifg?S,, IN SSN, - 3? 132 A Sharon Robinson Cu rey Embrey Sharon, an elementary education maior from Marks, is secretary of the Student Council and president of the Women's Council.

The Rangers forged ahead 12-6 in the fourth quarter when Quarterback Joey Treadway passed 30 yards to End Sonny Orrell for a 70-yard scoring play. Again the try for an extra point was defeated.

At the beginning of the second quarter Whitwell scored the first touchdown, with Don Turner kicking the extra point. Halftime found the Rangers trailing 8-7. The second Ranger touchdown was scored in the last seven minutes of the game-again by Whitweil. Turner's try for the extra point failed. In spite of this, the Rangers had won their first victory.

Don Turner's kick for the extra point put the Rangers in the lead 14-7. The Bobcats were prevented from scoring again by pass interceptions. Another win-another step to victory.

NWJC Rangers I nvifed to Shrine Bowl A hearty conversation is enjoyed Getting there was half the fun! by the coaches. 157 Rangers Enjoyed Shriners' Hospitality As a reward for winning the Mississippi Junior College Championship, the Northwest Rangers were invited to play in the Shrine Bowl at Shreveport, Louisiana. This was to be the first Shrine Bowl. NWJC's opponents were the Kilgore Rangers of Kilgore, Texas, whose school colors were also gray and blue. The Kilgore team had ended its season with an 8-3-O record, Northwest ended with 7-3-1 as its record. The Kilgore Rangers had averaged 28 points a game. Northwest had an outstanding defensive team which had made it the Champion of the Mississippi Federation. 1 if-X 158 I. it-J It may have been too cold to swim, but the diving board was put to good use by some of the rowdy Rangers. The Northwest Rangers left on December 2 on their way to Shreveport. The busses carried, not only the football players, but also the coaches, band, Misses, teachers, students and Northwest supporters. The football boys left on Thursday and the rest of the supporters followed on the weekend. The Rangers were housed at the Holiday Inn and greeted by the Shriners. They were given a steak supper at the Scottish Temple on Friday and at other times ate at Morrison's and the Holiday Inn. There were other enjoyable activities besides eating. A basketball game was attended by the players, a visit to the Shrine Hospital added much meaning to the occasion. All proceeds, except for game expenses, went to the Shrine Hospital for Crippled Children. There was practice on Saturday and the presenta- tion of the city's key. .9 ,K - o Y. A quiet. peaceful meal Eating at the Holiday Inn 159 Rangers Played Hard The long awaited event began on Saturday night, December 4. The ten- sion began to mount in the dressing room, but after the kick off the Northwest team knew they had competition and must fight to win. Disheartened during the half-time because they had not yet scored, the Northwest Rangers went into the third quarter and gained 13 points. At this time the Kilgore Rangers had scored only 2 points. ' Bob Whitwell passed 39 yards togend Rickey Patrick, after Don Turner's conversion the score was 20-8. Johnny Johnson returned the kickoff 88 yards, making the score 20-15 after Clyde Reid kicked the extra point. This action was seen in the fourth quarter. Patrick had scored' with 2:51 remaining and Johnson with 2:41 remaining. The final few minutes had arrived and the 6,000 spectators sensed the tension also. It was Quarterback Terry Reisig and End Richard Mooney who scored the final points for the Kilgore Rangers. Mooney had slipped around Patrick a-nd caught a pass- from Reisig. He went over the right end of the corner zone and took Patrick with him. The final score became 21-20, so ended the game. 160 President and Mrs. McLendon along with the President and his wife from Kilgore College attended the Shrine Bowl The Northwest Ranger captains and the Kilgore Rangei cap tains met before the game Even Until The End The Misses and Cheer- leaders supported the Rangers The Crowd YW' 7 Northwest had fought hard, especially in the third and fourth quarters. ln the third quarter, thi. Northwest Rangers had scored twice. Whitwell had scored while Earnheart went for a four-yard smash off the right side. Earnheart set up his own touchdown by rambling 32 yards before he was dragged clown by Johnson. Outstanding players in the Shrine Bowl included Rickey Patrick, who re- covered two fumbles and added 38 yards by capturing three passes. Marvin Earnheart, a converted center, was Northwest's heavy duty runner with 69 yards on ll carries. Quarterback Whitwell completed 4 out of 7 passes. The passes added 67 yards and one touchown. U The early portions of the game had included both a battle of punts and fumbles credited to both sides. However, Northwest did not go home empty handed. For his contribu- tions, Rickey Patrick was chosen most valuable lineman. As a cornerback on defense, he had recovered two fumbles made by Ingram. In the opening half Ingram had carried 90 per cent of the time and was chosen the most valuable back. Northwest had lost by only one point but had a football record and team unsurpassed by any in the state of Mississippi. 1.

Anxiety ls Fear of the Unknown Any new college arrival must be put in his place, this is the purpose of Freshman Day. This is the day when sophomores heartily poke fun at the newly initiated college freshmen. The feelings on Freshman Day were typical of other confusing days one might have encountered throughout the years. For example, remember being suddenly awakened in the early morning to undertake a task which you had not looked forward to? It could have been very similar to the feeling of an- xiety you had when your big sister or brother urged you out of bed at five o'cIock in the morning, gave you explicit instructions and started you on your busy day. However, most big sisters and brothers were much kinder and didn't bother the lowly freshmen until around three-thirty when Freshman Day actually began. The make-up was donned and the action started. 238 K . w l r - . .E ,uf f Especially on Freshman Day The Sadie Hawkins' Race started things off. It had originally been planned to take place on the football field, but because of rain it was held in the 9Ym- Late in the afternoon Freshmen were taken to the front of the campus and given various orders. Air raid seemed to be the favorite expression. In an air raid the Freshmen lay flat on their backs and imaginarily shot guns into the air. Then there were pleas of marriagep some accepted and some rejected. Other activities included- imitating a horse, doing push-ups and buying suckers. Night fell and all make-up was wiped off, hair washed and ribbons re- moved. After supper everybody went to the dance in the gym. No more tricks for a while anyway! 239 44 .- Religious Emphasis Held October ii-15 3 I bei W Sharon Twomey, Patsy Sledge and Mary Ann Bar- nett serves Mrs. Wilborn at the reception held the first night.

This year was NWJC'S fiftieth year of establishment since Tate County Agriculture High School opened in 1915. As in the years past, the usual prepara- tions were made. Floats were built, buildings decorated, dresses bought and speeches prac- ticed. The final moment had come to announce the Homecoming Court, elected by the student body. The 1965 court included Queen Mary Mc- Ewen of Hernando and Maids Sharon Robinson of Marks, Sheri Hughey of Olive Branch, Judy Woolfolk of Senatobia, and Brenda Carroll of Memphis, Tennessee. With the announcement of the court, visi- tors and students alike were ready to loin in the festivities of the day. 257 I , Phi Theta Kappa .if -...Mfg 3 The Wesley Foundation Early Preparations The parade through downtown Senatobia started at 2:15 p. m. Leading the parade in the first car were President McLendon, Mr. Lydell Carter, and Nolan Mettetal, president of the student body. Following President McLendon's car was Mr. Don Bartlett, of Como, Mr. Roy Johnson of Senatobia, and Carey Embrey, president of the sophomore class. Butch Henley, president of the freshman class, rode in the third car along with Dean J. P. McCormick, Dean Fugate and Mrs. Gard- ner. These three cars filled with NWJC leaders and teachers led a parade of vivid color. The Queen and Maids had a special float reserved for them. They sat dressed in formal attire, holding flowers. Each organization on campus built a float to enter in the parade. These floats were later judged. Winning first place was the float de- signed by the Cosmetology 8. Technical Educa- tion Clubs. This float received the Senatobia Rotary Club award. The freshman and sopho- more class had the most original float and re- ceived the Civitan Club trophy. W ere Necessary Along with the judging of floats went the judging of buildings. Tate Hall received the award for the most beautiful building decora- tions. The Jaycee tvophy was presented to the dorm. The lions Club presented two boys' dorm- itories, Panola and Tallachatchie, with the tro- phy for the most original decorations. Build- ings receiving honorable mention for decora- tions were Marquee and Quitman Halls. Marquee, better known as the trailer, had perhaps one of the largest displays on campus. A gigantic Ranger towered over the courts with one hand holding a 5 and the other an O. After the parade, members of the organi- zation who had ridden the floats went to visit with friends and family. The Queen and Maids went to the first floor lobby of Bobo Hall to be photographed by Mr. James McBroom. Shortly afterwards all relaxed to await the coming events of later evening.

By 1964 Northwest was supported by elev- en surrounding counties: Tate, Quitman, Yolo- busha, Panola, Tallahatchie, DeSoto, Benton, Tunica, Lafayette, Marshall, and Calhoun. Northwest has as its aim the development of the intellectual, cultural, spiritual, physical, and vocational resources of the youths and a- dults of the district to become more useful, ef- ficient members of a democratic society and to improve their qualities of living. A graduate of Northwest has a chance to take part in many facets of college life and is inspired by those he comes in contact with over the years. A teacher is an important asset to the col- lege. A teacher's responsibility at Northwest is to motivate and guide the students. At the same time the teacher maintains personal contact and helps the student reach his limitations. The college is continually growing, more students are entering, more courses being of- fered and more construction being undertaken. The future of Northwest is indeed a bright one.
