PUSH LIBRARY NORTHWEST JUNIOR COLLEGE SENATOBIA, MISSISSIPPI NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI I ROCKETEER 1988 VOLUME 49 Northwest Mississippi Junior College Senatobia, MS 38668 Karla Parks, Editor MAKING A ▲ Dent Jackson and Joan Reid, both instructors in the business department, made a difference in Ronnie Musgrove ' s life by en- couraging him to run in his first election. Now Musgrove is our state senator and was honored at Homecoming as Alumni of the Year. DIFFERENCE First organized as Tate County Agricultural High School in 1915, the school began to offer college level classes in the fall of 1926. A fully sanctioned junior college, later named Northwest Mississippi Junior College and accredited by the Mis- sissippi Junior College Accrediting Association, opened its doors to fif- ty-nine students. By the end of its third decade of operation the cur- riculum had expanded from a basic program of liberal arts and agricul- ture to include science, art, and journalism in addition to a variety of vocational-technical courses. The original three buildings had been supplemented with a cafeteria, ad- ditional dormitory and classroom space, sports and recreational fa- cilities, and acreage for a model farm. In 1953 the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools com- mended Northwest as a bargain in educational facilities and granted the college its coveted accredita- tion. During the next few years the college continued to prove that it deserved this honor by broadening its capacity to serve the needs of the eleven-county district it had grown to encompass. A bus route began to provide free transportation for com- muters, while night classes and off- campus courses offered extended educational services. Today North- west is comprised of five campuses which, along with the farm, repre- sent a capital outlay of more than $35 million. In addition to the main seventy-five acre campus in Senatobia, the college includes DeSoto Center, Lafayette-Yalobusha Technical Center, Benton-Marshall Center and Olive Branch Center. At the end of almost six decades of growth and the beginning of the school ' s seventh administration, the mission of Northwest remains true to the vision of its founders. North- west strives today, as it did in 1926, to continue making a difference in the lives of its students. Based on history by Dr. Lucie Bridgforth All those times you got up for that 8:00 class will have made a differ- ence when graduation day arrives. STUDENT LIFE W : DANCES Among the social events at Northwest, the most fre- quented by the students were the many dances spon- sored by on-campus clubs and organizations. These dances presented a vast array of themes and musical tastes. Many traditional motifs were used such as toga, sixties and the ever-popular Halloween costume dance. In ad- dition to the theme oriented dances, there were a n um- ber of post-game dances. These dances certainly made a difference in our dat- ing lives. — Perry Mangum Darrell E. LaRiviere Candid moments at after-the-game dances. ► ▲ Marvin Henson enjoys the music at the dance after the Co-Lin game.

As the semester gets on its way, you and this stranger are becoming very close. It is your roommate that wakes you up in time for that 9 a.m. biology class, gets you the date you ' ve been dying to have, and is willing to listen when no one else has time. Open Dorm is an exciting new term on our campus. In the past open dorms were only allowed two nights during Homecoming week, one night for the girls ' dorms and the second night for the guys ' dorms. This year the administration was per- suaded to allow students what they ' ve requested several times . . . open dorms. The dorms are open every Tuesday night from 7 to 10 p.m. alternating weekly, girls ' dorms to the guys ' . Each dorm room has also been equipped with cable TV and tele- phones this year. The phones have three-way calling for on campus calls and students have the option of us- ing their credit card or call ing collect to call long-distance. Now not only can Becky call Sandy, but she can talk to Sandy and Leslie at the same time. Bryan can call home from his room instead of using the not-so- private pay phone in the hall. Dorm life at Northwest continues to make a difference in the lives of many students. — Karla Parks ▲ Guy Pulliam and Karon White (top right) participate in a joint shower just for fun.

PEP RALLIES Having a championship football team is not a job just for the play- ers and coaches. It requires the support of the whole campus. One factor which helped develop school spirit in our football team was the campus participation in pep rallies. Along with the spirit competi- tions, there were performances by the cheerleaders, band, and Rangerettes. We cheered for our team, coaches and team captains who gave speeches and we laughed at the faculty members who tried their hand at cheerlead- ing. It doesn ' t take much to rally us all together and when we do, we all win. — Darrell E. LaRiviere ▲ The cheerleaders are pumping up the fans before the Homecoming game against Mississippi Delta which led to a 47-20 victory. Brenda Gray, Mary Ann Burkhead, and Jill Ferguson pull together to let the Rangers know faculty and staff are behind them all the way. ► ▲ Rose Mary Simmons, Dr. David Haraway and Dr. Marilyn Comer try to show the cheerleaders how to do it at the tailgate pep rally.

Justin Ales, Ricky Trimm, and Jeffery Scoggins give their total attention to Coach Franklin as he boosts the crowd ' s spirits for the following game. ▼ A Stacey Cox seems to be having a little trouble trying to talk to Bud Gilbert and take the wrapper off his gum at the same time. A Billy Abbott is definitely preoccupied. Could it be with the cheerleaders at this tailgate party and pep rally? STAFF Northwest President Dr. David M. Haraway leads a staff dedicated to helping students. A smiling face can always be found and a lack of personality is never seen. At extra-curricular events faculty, staff, and administration take part in the activities. Whether it be taking up money at a foot- ball game, dressing as a cheerleader at a pep rally, a reindeer at the Christmas pro- gram, or assisting students on class proj- ects, the staff is happy to be at Northwest. From registration to graduation, the ad- ministration, faculty and staff are there — making a difference. ▲ Gary Spears and Dr Becky Askew stand perplexed by the activities at the tailgate pep rally in September. ▲ Coach Ron Stark strides purposely to a victory over Booneville at the pep rally on Wednesday afternoon. 14 1 « A 1 ' Camaraderie exists between all employees at Northwest.

Throughout the day different emo- tions come and go. First, there ' s happiness at seeing your friends again. Frustration comes after standing in line for an hour only to be told that three of your necessary classes are closed. Finally, the blessed relief as the day draws to a close. You leave with your new schedule in hand ready to face a new se- mester.

CLASSES For 60 years Northwest has been providing excellence in academic education. Classes re- main comparatively small, and faculty em- phasis is still on teaching. A faculty member will be designated as your advisor, one who is not only an expert in your selected field but also a caring counselor, mentor, and friend. Encouragement and inspiration as well as the gentle persuasion can make the difference between success and failure. More than 60 courses of study are available within seven academic divisions on the Senatobia campus and at DeSoto Center. These are Business, Education, Fine Arts, So- cial Science, Languages and Communica- tions, Nursing, and Science. Accredited by the Mississippi Junior College Accrediting Association since 1928 and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools since 1953, Northwest can assure you that freshman and sophomore academic credit hours earned at this institution may be trans- ferred to any other college or university and applied toward an academic degree. Student performance at four-year institutions indi- cates that Northwest transfers continue to achieve academic recognition. Career-oriented programs are available on all five campuses. Some courses of study — for example, cosmetology, welding, computer operations, and business technology — are offered at more than one site. Other majors such as Telecommunications (Senatobia), Respiratory Therapy (DeSoto Center), Li- censed Practical Nursing (Lafayette- Yalobusha Technical Center), Aviation Main- tenance Technology (Olive Branch Center), and Housebuilding and Woodworking (Benton-Marshall Center) are exclusive to one location. While all programs are accredited by the Mississippi Junior College Accrediting Asso- ciation and the Southern Association of Col- leges and Schools, special programs have achieved national accreditation as well. The Northwest Farm, a few miles west of Senatobia, provides a laboratory for the Live- stock Management Technology curriculum. You may come to Northwest with an idea about the career you want to pursue, but if you have trouble making up your mind, North- west has counselors on each campus with a wealth of information. Once you have chosen a course of study, faculty members and coun- selors are there whenever you need assis- tance. If you have a question or need help outside class, they give personal attention that ' s so important. That includes job place- ment services when you have successfully completed your program. Getting or beginning your education at Northwest can make all the difference in your life. • ELECTIONS Frank Rouse casts his ballot just before the polls close.

The week began on Monday, Oc- tober 5, with the presentation of the Homecoming court and coronation of the Queen. On Tuesday, Ranger Week contests were held in the Union. Rang- er Day Relays consisted of three-legged races, playing volleyball with water bal- loons, and of course, the famous relay race. Thursday provided a carnival, cookout, pep rally, and a Homecoming dance with a 60 ' s theme. Finally, what the whole week had led to arrived . . . Homecoming Day. Sat- urday began with Senior Day for those high school students interested in Northwest. A parade, consisting of all maids and escorts, the band, cheer- leaders, Rangerettes, and any dorms that choose to participate, was the at- traction before the cheerleaders stole the show with their pep rally. Many alumni attended a luncheon and the game that followed. The crowd, com- posed of both young and old, cheered the Rangers to their victory over Mis- sissippi Delta Junior College with a final score of 47-20. — Karla Parks Becky Ainsworth, Paul Whalen, Rhonda DeFrees and Larry Chamberlain wave to the crowd during the parade before the game. ▼ ▲ Lish Trice (55) and JoJo Wright (10) stop Mississippi Delta ' s carrier. ▲ During the halftime ceremonies the crowd ' s attention covered the field. ▲ John McKay, Porter Casey, Stacey Cox, Robbie Beckett and Perry Arrington enjoy a few minutes on the bench while the defense takes over the field. 24 Offensive tackle Porter Casey (68) holds off his man to allow Bobby Byrd (6) to make a successful hand- off. ▼ ■H CHRISTMAS Christmas Celebration, sponsored by the Stu- dent Government Association, was held on the front steps of the Administration Building on De- cember 2. The program consisted of dorm com- petitions, Santa ' s Elves, Santa ' s List, and a Christ- mas skit that was emceed by Cary Mettetal. Many students attended and participated in the program. The skit, entitled ' Twas the night before Christmas and all through the campus . . . ' , was performed by SGA members, administration, faculty, and staff. Bobo dorm won first place in both the Christmas decoration and Christmas carol categories. Hon- orable mention in the carol-singing competition were Taylor and Quitman Dorms while honorable mention for decorations was given to Panola for originality and to Taylor for beauty. Santa arrived on his modern sleigh, a three-wheeler, with his elves throwing candy to the crowd. While present, he shared a few of the items on his Christmas list. The celebration ended with Dr. Haraway lighting the tree on the front campus, and everyone singing Silent Night. — Karla Parks T Leading Santa Haraway ' s sleigh were Reindeer Ferguson and Collinsworth. ▼ The faculty sang carols while the judges tallied the scores from the competitions. ▲ Santa rolled out his long list of Christmas wishes. ► Quitman dorm was hon- orable mention winner of the carol-singing contest. ► Valerie Marsh and Sylvia Clark waited with their dorm, Bobo, to compete in the carol- singing contest. e ■4 Santa arrived with his elves throwing treats to the crowd. w Jjjj . 1 J ■ liillt L s| R: Wjc Stf.

The center serves to provide skill training for the citizens, create a trained labor force which will serve to improve the economy of the area, and provide a greater opportunity for more effective program expenditures at federal, state, and local levels. ▲ Laverne Hunsucker cautiously checks the screen to make sure her program is free of error ► Cosmetology students spend many hours practicing to become the best in their profession.

After receiving requests for additional ed- ucational opportunities from the people in the rapidly growing area of DeSoto County, the governing authorities of NWJC chose in 1974 to investigate establishing an atten- dance center in DeSoto County. The DeSoto Center which opened in 1975, is located in a modern four-story facility built in 1966 with a one-story annex built in 1971. The 17-acre campus is one of the most beautiful in the South. Two alternative curriculum approaches are available. One approach allows students to prepare for a senior college while the other offers a more career-oriented curriculum to meet area employment needs. 38 ▲ Elizabeth Burns, counselor, is sel- dom found without a friend ' v face while handling a very busy work load. ■4 As in any regular class, students are often distracted from their class work, and Jeff McCormick is no exception during the Word Processing class. 39 DESOTO CENTER A Peggy Baker, Financia Aid Officer, informs a stu- dent of an available schol- arship.

With the recent name change of Northwest Junior to Northwest Community College, the school has tried to show that the commuters are as much a part of campus as those who reside in the dorms. Commuters are faced with prob- lems such as parking and waiting for the bus until late afternoon, but they are given a few more years to adapt to college life and prepare for leaving home. — Suzi Battles ■ Willie Pickett and John Patrick Thomas, bus driv- ers, double check to be sure they aren ' t leaving anyone behind. 53 WNJC-FM RADIO WNJC takes pride in broadcasting all Ranger sports events. Here, Brett Brown and Danny Bradley are shown announcing the Northwest-Mississippi Delta basketball game. Program director Rebecca Ann Samuels takes a turn at the micro- phone to entertain WNJC listeners. Instructor D ' Layne Smith gives Linda Skinner, Perry Mangum, and Allen Spencer a few communications tips to use when on the air. 54 Students who are majoring in broad- casting at Northwest have access to the first public radio station in Mississippi — WNJC-FM 89. First hand experience in the production of promotional spots, the art of announcing, and the day-to- day operation of a radio station are only a few of the benefits a student may obtain. WNJC is located on the first floor of the Humanities Building and operates at over 20,000 watts. The ex- perience gained through the broadcast- ing classes of Northwest proves to be a valuable asset to students as they con- tinue their education at senior insti- tutions. — Perry Mangum 55 VO-TECH The thought of college usually brings to mind classes such as al- gebra, English, and history, but at Northwest not all students are in- volved in academic courses, some are enrolled in Vocational Technical programs. While the main campus has a wide selection of Vo-Tech classes, each center has a few choices that are unique to their cam- pus Vocational-Technical programs are structured to meet the needs of students seeking preparation for em- ployment in an occupational field not requiring a four-year degree. Like those who excel academically, Vo- Tech students are also eligible for nomination to all academic honors such as Hall of Fame, Outstanding Students, and Who ' s Who Among Students in American Junior Col- leges. — Karla Parks ▲ Vicki O ' Dell, cosmetology instructor, dem- onstrates the proper way to give a manicure. ► Kevin Carlisle points out one of the many steps of a complicated problem. 56 Civil Engineering instructor, Jim- my Carr takes a break from pre- paring his lesson.

When the 1987 Ranger season began with a loss and a record of 2-2 after the fourth game, no one expected that by the end of the season the Ranger team would be number one in the state and tenth in the nation. Overall, we had a great season, overcoming two early losses, said Head Coach Bobby Franklin, If we had won the bowl game, we had a shot at finishing in the top five, but I ' ll take No. 10 in the nation any season. This year ' s team also came out with two on the 1987 Community College All-American Honorable Mention list: Ricky Blake, running back from Fayetteville, Tennes- see, and Cortez Kennedy, defen- sive tackle from Wilson, Arkansas. Blake, an All-State back rushed for more than 1500 yards and provided 22 touchdowns for the Rangers and was named Best Of- fensive player in the Jayhawk Bowl although the Rangers didn ' t come out victorious. Kennedy, who was also a first team All-State selection, is one of the best de- fensive linemen I ' ve had an op- portunity to coach in the six years I ' ve been at Northwest, said Ranger Defensive Coordinator Ron Stark. He ended the regular ten game season with 72 indi- vidual tackles, 60 assists, 18 sacks, two deflected passes and two fumble recoveries. 1987 proved to be a tremen- dous year for the Ranger team. With a 10-3 season, a state cham- pionship, a bowl game, and a Coach of the Year, this team just couldn ' t go wrong! — Liesl Davenport Although he did not have any TD ' s on receptions, Blake never dropped a pass all season and added over 200 yards to the Ranger offense passing yardage. 128 V ■ Left: Defensive end Jim Crain meets head to head with a Trojan of Mississippi Delta.

RON STARK Defensive Coordinator Linebackers STEVE ARNETT Offensive Coordinator SCOTT MAXFIELD Offensive Line 131 FOOTBALL EAST CENTRAL Sure we ' re disappointed, but we ' ve still got a good footba team. We had a chance to win it; we went for the win, but there was a missed assignment on the play. We should have scored, explained Coach Franklin after the Rangers ' 17-16 loss to the Trojans. With 1:11 left in the game Blake scored on a 3-yard run making the score 17-16. Byrd ' s pass for the 2 pt. conversion to John McKay was no good. The Rangers ' kick was recovered on our 49 yd. line. Blake ' s first down inspired the Rangers with 38 seconds remaining. Bolen ' s field goal attempt of 48 yds. was no good. The Rangers ' time ran out and their 1st game ended in a loss. COPIAH-LINCOLN Northwest took it to the line, once again, with the Wolves, but this time pulled through with a win of 15-14. With just 46 seconds remaining Eric Chalk nabed his third interception of the night and returned the ball for 54 yards to ensure the Rangers ' win. We played poorly the first half and made a lot of mistakes, said Franklin. We were not playing with much intensity. The second half we played darn good football. The first half was left at 14-9 after Bolen ' s 35-yd. field goal, closing Co-Lin ' s lead to 5. The Rangers came back from the half storming. The D was consistent, as usual, and held the team together. Conditions hampered the offense but after a Ranger drive from our 43-yard line, Blake took it in from the 20. The 2-point conversion was no good and the score was left at 15-14. The Rangers were on the road to victory. HOLMES Two touchdowns in the first five minutes of the ballgame spelled victory for the Rangers and defeat for the Bulldogs of Holmes as Northwest upended Holmes 21-9 in Senatobia Sep- tember 17. Both offensively and defensively, Northwest seemed to bend and not break until early in the second quarter when Bolen added three points from the 45-yard line of Holmes making the score 17-0 Rangers. The Ranger defense held tough and special teams came into the ballgame to block a Bulldog punt that rolled out of the end zone for two. This gave Northwest a 19- 3 lead heading into the locker room. I was very pleased with the first half, said Head Coach Bobby Franklin. Overall it was a pretty good offensively and defensively played game. The second half provided less scoring, but quite a bit of action. With Holmes deep in their own territory, and trailing 19-3, center Gordy Frederick snapped the ball over the head of Brian Burrough and out of the end zone for another Ranger safety, making it 21-3, Rangers. The Bulldogs finally found the end zone, with 3:18 remaining in the game, as quarterback Kenny Taylor kept the ball for six. Randall ' s kick was good for the final score of 21-9, Rangers. EAST MISSISSIPPI This was a Ranger fight to the finish. The Rangers had a 18-17 lead after Byrd ' s 60 yard touchdown pass to Buggins and Troy Thompson ' s fumble recovery on the Lion 22 which led to the TD dive by Blake. 10:52 was left in the first half and the Rangers held the lead until the Lions pushed a 51-yard drive ending with a 1-yard run and 1:49 left on the clock. The score was 23-18 going into the second half. The second half was all defense. Northwest ' s points in the second half went to defensive end, Enrique Plunkett for the safe- ty. The game was left at 23-20 and the Rangers were now 2-2.

He led the team to a 31-27 victory with 148 yards on 27 carries and 3 TD ' s. But, it took the whole team to win this game. James Wright set up the first points with a blocked punt, which gave the Rangers a 3-0 lead. The first quarter ended 7-3, Wildcats. The second quarter seesawed and left the Rangers trailing 14-10 at half time. The Rangers came back and at the end of the 3rd quarter led 24-21. Still seesawing in the 4th quarter, Blake scores from 27 yards out giving the Rangers a 10 point lead. Northwest had to punt with just over a minute left giving Pearl one more chance. They drove for a TD and their 2 point conversion failed giving the Rangers a 3-2 record. The victory over the Trojans topped off the Ranger Homecoming week, giving NW a record of 4-2. The first half was a battle and ended 7-7. Beth Bryson was crowned Homecoming Queen during the half-time festivities. The Rangers faced several penalties coming into the second half, but they continued to drive to end the 3rd quarter with a 12 point lead of 26-14. Of those points included the interception by Alton Mont- gomery for a 76 yard TD. The Trojans came back with a TD early in the 4th quarter closing the gap to 6, but the rest of the game belonged to NW and ended in a big Ranger win of 47-20. COAHOMA Nine players put points on the scoreboard for Northwest when the Rangers demolished the Tigers 62-6 at Clarksdale. Coach Franklin made certain his team did not look past the Coahoma game, a critical North Division contest. The victory boosted the Ranger ' s overall record to 5- 2 and conference record to 3-1. This kind of game scares me to death, Franklin said prior to the kickoff. Even though an average of 33 points per game had been charged against the score- less Tigers, Franklin wasn ' t taking anything for granted. Needless to say with a total of 62 points scored the Rangers blew them away. Top: A familiar scene at Ranger Stadium; Byrd hands off to Blake.

Northwest ' s first score came near the end of the initial quarter when Byrd hit Charlie Biggens for a 31-yard touch- down reception. Kevin Bolen added the extra point. The Ranger Defense recovered two Coffeyville fumbles in the opening quarter. The third fumble recovery came early in the second quarter when Jim Crain grabbed the ball. Two pass receptions for 14 and 18 yards by Wesley Carroll fol- lowed to set up the Rangers ' second score. Mike Crenshaw ran in from the 2-yard line to score and Kevin Bolen ' s kick gave the Rangers a lead of 14- 0. In the second quarter, the Red Ravens scored twice and kicked a 22-yard field goal to give them a 1 point advantage at halftime, 15-14. Early in the third quarter Blake got loose for a 29-yard touchdown run. Bolen kicked his third extra point, and the Rangers were leading 21-15. During the fourth quarter the Red Ravens scored twice with PAT ' s to end the game 29-21. The home field advantage may have given the Red Ravens an edge, but Northwest never gave up and had a chance to win right to the end, continued Franklin.

N J NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI A parade was held in Coffeyville, Kansas, for the fifth annual Jayhawk Bowl which involved both the players and coaches. J 135 p OOTB ALL ITAWAMBA We played the best defensive game since I ' ve coached at Northwest, said Coach Stark. The entire first half belonged to NW. The Ranger offense was on the move. Blake scored first on a 58-yard run and a mere five minutes later Byrd hit Wesley Carroll with an 11-yard TD pass. Bolen supplied the PAT ' s and gave NW a 14-0 lead. The Rangers fought for their third TD, but on 4th and goal the dive by Blake was good for the six points, topping off the 64-yard drive, and leaving first half at 20-0. The Indians came back to threaten our lead, but our D kept them occupied and ended the game at 20-3. NORTHEAST The Rangers defeated arch-rivals NEMCC Tigers to become North Division Champs. The Ranger offense sparkled the first half with 21 points and the defense left the Tigers scoreless. The third quarter proved to be just as successful for the Rangers until the closing seconds when NE scored, making the score 28-8. In the 4th quarter the Tigers picked up a few more points as did the Rangers. The final score left the Rangers 38-23 and on their way to the State playoffs. JONES COUNTY Three touchdowns on the first three possessions of the game were all the Rangers needed to defeat Jones 20-0 in Ellisville. Northwest went into the game sporting a 7-2 record and clinching the North Division Championship spot while Jones was 3-6 overall. Wide receiver Tommy Lipscomb put the first six on the board as he scored on a 32-yard pass from quarterback O ' Neal Weber. John McKay kicked for the extra point. Ricky Blake, Rangers ' powerhouse, rambled in from 26 yards out. McKay put the extra point through, making it 14-0 Northwest. Weber found wide receiver Wesley Carroll in the end zone for a 36-yard pass leaving the Rangers with a 20-0 lead. Cortez Kennedy, defensive tackle put the icing on the cake when he recovered a Bobcat fumble at the Ranger 5-yard line with less than two minutes to go in the game. EAST CENTRAL — PLAYOFFS The Rangers sustained the first round state playoffs with a 21-17 win. The first half began with a big Ranger drive to the three, but ended in a blocked field goal attempt. This set the pace for the rest of the game. The Warriors were first on the board with 7, then the Rangers pushed through to tie the game. A minute later Mitch Cooper intercepted for a 45 yard TD, and the Rangers led 14- 7. After JoJo Wright broke up an East Central pass in the end zone, the Warriors added 3 to their 7. The Rangers fought once more during the half for another TD and ended the half 21-10. East Central came back fighting and put 7 more on the boards, but they just couldn ' t get past the Ranger defense. The game ended 21-17 sending the Rangers to the State Championship.

Since 1981 when Coach Franklin moved up from offensive coordinator and took hold of the reins, he has produced the 1982 national crown, two region and two state championships, and three division ti- tles. That ' s quiet an accomplishment for just seven years at the helm. Keep it up Coach! We congratulate you. Top Left: Coach of the Year — an award well deserved.

Fringe benefits included the Region 23 title for the Northwest Rangers and Re- gion 23 Coach of the Year honors for Coach Bobby Franklin. The Ranger of- fense was sparked by Wesley Carroll ' s four pass receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns and Ricky Blake ' s ground attack of 23 rushes for 160 yards and one touchdown. Two quick strikes in the first quarter may have shell shocked the Eagles, according to Franklin. Undaunted, Carroll took a Byrd pass 90 yards for the second Ranger score with 3:34 in the first quarter. The Eagles trailed 14-0. The Eagles threatened twice before half- time. Troy Thompson, line-backer from Texarkana, Texas, recovered a Hinds fumble with a little more than a minute to go. Then Byrd fumbled and Hinds had the ball on Ranger 26, but the passing defense of Eric Chalk and Charles Watson kept Hinds quarterback Mike Burch from connecting. Ranger John McKay kicked off to Hinds giving them their last possession around their own 38 on fourth and seven, Northwest got the ball and the 21-16 State Cham- pionship victory at the final whistle. R ANGER CHEERLEADER9 The 1987-88 Ranger cheerleaders, captained by Tracy McGregor and sponsored by Dr. Becky Askew, led the Ranger football team through an outstanding season. Not only did they cheer at games and pep rallies, but they also promoted the Ranger Spirit. They got student and even faculty participation in pep rallies. Also, the cheerleaders were responsible for the tail- gate parties before the Copiah-Lincoln and Mississippi Delta pep rallies, and they worked with the Student Government Association and Soul Club for the post-game dances. They didn ' t stop there. After football season was over they moved on to basketball. The Ranger cheer- leaders have had a busy year and a successful, well appreciated one at that. — Liesl Davenport Right: Beth Bryson gets into that Ranger Spirit at the Ranger Week cookout. ► ▲ Here The cheerleaders show us what they ' re made of. 140 ▲ Ranger cheerleaders cheer on the big D.

Front: Clay Morgan, and Jeff Caldwell. In its first year to compete in intercollegiate golf, the North- west golf team under the coaching of Don Edwards signed a season scorecard that would be respectable in more experienced golfers ' record books. Finishing second in the state and third in Region XXIII, the team saw two members qualify for the NJCAA national tournament last summer in Odessa, Texas. Rangers Paul Savage of Batesville and Jeff Caldwell of Senatobia tied with scores of 75 for iow medalist in the state playoffs. Savage then captured the State Medalist title, and Caldwell came away with State Runner-up honors. At the regional tournament in Shreveport, La., Caldwell finished third and Savage fifth, both qualifying for the national event where they missed the cut by a narrow margin. All these guys can play, said Edwards. We did better than I thought we ' d do the first year. Paul Savage gets off a good drive while competing in the State Tournament on the Gulf Coast. 165 R ANGER RODEO Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one — buzzer sounds. The au- dience looks into the ring of dust, and as the dust clears, questions are raised: Did he complete the ride? How well did he ride? What was his score? These are just a few of the questions one may ask or hear at a rodeo arena. One may even hear such slang as dally-off, buck-out, taping-up, third loop, etc. If you take the time to look around the North- west campus, you will notice several rodeo winners. The Northwest rodeo team is a dedicated group of students. They all want to be the best whether it be bronc busting calf roping, bare-back riding, or goat tying. The rodeo team consists of both boys and girls and each division varies for team mem- bers. Two of the top team members are Afton Richard and Howard Varnado. They both rank in the top twenty national divisions in areas such as goat tying, calf roping, bronc busting and barrel racing. The rodeo team on the Northwest campus is coached by our very own Bud Young. Young is serving his first year as National Faculty President of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. He has been Regional Director of the Ozark Region for ten years. Young has done a terrific job with the rodeo team. The activities along with membership have grown over the past years. The rodeo team trav- els to different parts of the country to participate in rodeo events and to protect the titles they hold. To some Northwest students rodeo is one of the most important events in their lives. — Catherine Mcllwain Top: Bareback bronc riding is only one of the events in which Mike Price competes. Other events Mike participates in are saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Above Todd Thrash spends his spare time practicing bull riding at the Northwest Farm.

The team to beat this year was the Phi Poppa Toppas, a group of unknown ren- egades who from out of nowhere seemed to dominate the Intramural scene. They remained the only undefeated team in the league at Northwest and went to New Orleans to compete in the National In- tramural Championships where they lost to Georgia State and Ohio State respec- tively. Led by the Doughboy, the Phi ' s held their opponents to less than 12 points every game. The other team proving it had a chance was The Groove B Chill. A balanced pass- ing and running attack were the keys to the Chill ' s victories. They, like the Phi ' s, held their opponents to less than 12 points every game. — Frank Rouse Above Left: The Stallions ' Steve White makes the tag on the carrier.

Last year the team also continued a 10-year streak of winning at least 20 games in a season. Although he had greater expectations for the team than were met due to injuries suf- fered by several players, Head Coach Jim Miles was impressed with the overall turnout of the season. During Coach Miles ' tenure at Northwest, he has maintained a winning re- cord of 72% out of 450 games. — Suzi Battles After a tiring double-header both teams leave the field satisfied with a split.

You form your attitudes and opinions of the new bigger world you ' ve entered. The transition from high school to college is a difficult one. You go from being sheltered and herded to class, to total responsibility. It may be your first time away from home, and you have no choice but to learn responsi- bility. You suddenly have more free time, and you have to decide what to do with that time. (To party or to study — that is the question). In the end you emerge, not unscathed, but a better person from the experience. — Perry Mangum - 231 SOPHOMORES Abernathy, Donnie, Southaven Abushanab, Aladin, Jordan Ahrens, Alisa, Charleston Ainsworth, Rebecca, Hernando Alberson, Janet, Ashland Aldridge, Teri, Memphis, Tenn.

We didn ' t even know each other ' s name, but many things have changed since then, even the name of the school. Now it ' s like we ' ve been friends forever. You know me better than I know myself. We ' ve shared so many good times that are already fun to remember. I n the past two years we have created many memories that will be deeply cherished, but the friendship is what we will miss the most. We have made a difference in each other ' s lives even if we were only together a short time. Our friend- ship may fade, but the laughs and smiles will never let it die. As freshmen we said hello. As sophomores we are forced to say goodbye. — Pat Oglesby 251 CLOSING MAKIN j v ' REMEMBERING Remember your first day at North- west — REGISTRATION!! It lasted for days. The sophomores registered first leaving everyone else the 8:00 classes. You waited for hours to get your sched- ule, and when you finally made it to the computer at least one of your classes had closed. What about those first days of class? We worried about finding the right build- ings, not to mention the right class- rooms. Remember being scared you wouldn ' t know anyone in your class, only to walk in and find half of your old high school buddies smiling at you. Just the thought of starting college was terrifying — you know C-O-L-L-E-G- E!! The hard stuff. The dreaded pro- fessor who walks in the room with a book as thick as the Memphis phone directory under his arm. He wrote his name on the board then ordered you to take out a piece of paper for your first college assignment — writing a par- agraph on your summer vacation. What about the dorm life? You were placed with a complete stranger in a compact room to deal with annoying habits such as drying her hair one strand at a time at midnight every night. Or talking in his sleep about things that would make a sailor blush with shame. Don ' t forget the one who snored — while you were hanging from the bed post for dear life he was sucking the walls in. Girls, remember fighting over the showers because you had a date with Mr. Not-So-Hot but ever so Cool Joe in half an hour? What about the times you thought you were crazy about Billy, Joe, Jim, Rob, or Ted only to discover your suite mate was also in love with them? It will be hard to forget those 8:00 classes after a big night — waking up late and rushing to the cafeteria wearing no makeup and sweats. 254 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost Guys, do you remember those ever so intimate showers? You spent hours standing there because of the endless supply of hot water. And all the rapping with your suite mates to the latest hit. You never had to carry a book to the bathroom because the walls provided loads of entertainment; including the latest jokes, who ' ll do what and who has what. Girls, what about the date with the jock? You looked forward to that night for days. You dressed to kill only to discover that he dressed as if he had killed something — the same sweats he ' d been wearing for three days. You were looking forward to a special, ro- mantic evening out on the town. In- stead, he took you to McDonald ' s, or- dered for you and ate your leftovers in two gulps. By then you had realized that his Q and shoe size were one in the same. You asked yourself how he ever made it out of junior high. By the end of the night you knew every move he made in every game he ever played — not to mention the ones he tried with you. Guys, what about the date with the beautiful blonde from history class? The one who always acted so sweet and helpless. You picked her up and she didn ' t even remember your name. You took her to a nice restaurant, and she ordered a burger and fries. She laughed hysterically at everything you said, drawing everyone ' s attention. By the end of the night you realized on her last refill, someone pushed helium instead of air, and that glob of hairspray was the only thing keeping her brain from float- ing away. Remembering those good times, the friends, the fun, the laughter, is what ' s so important. So remember those who ' ve made a difference — and smile. — Pat Oglesby 255 When I accepted the task of being editor of the ROCKETEER, I did not realize what a huge responsibility I had undertaken. I neglected friends, famiy and school work to devote my time to doing the best of my ability. There were times when I thought it would be impossible to meet the next deadline. For example, there was a 72- page deadline approaching, that lacked all 72 pages three weeks left to meet it, and ten inches of snow on the ground that allowed valuable time to pass without making any progress. Gradually, the final deadline arrived and all 256 pages were finished. Although it would be nice to think I created this book by myself, I can ' t take all the credit because much of that credit belongs to those who helped or simply stood behind me. Had it not been for my staff wiling to help in any way they could, I know that first deadline would never have been met, not to mention those to follow. Without Liesl Davenport helping with copy layouts, photography, and sports, I could not have made it through the first semester. I shall never forget the weekends I spent with Liesl, Suzi, Judd, and Pat trying to meet those awful killer deadlines. My friends only proved how true they were by putting up with me through all those bad days Not just as my advisor, but as a close friend, Louise McKee encouraged me not to give up when I was frustrated, de pressed, and thought I had reached my limit. Rick Alford, BSU director, was always understanding although I still feel as though I sometimes neglected my duties as president. Being able to offer the right suggestion and give expert advice, Dr. Ann Whitten always knew just what finishing touch should be added. Linda Hogan, computer instructor, also gave her time, ability, and lab assistants to speed up the process of finishing the stu- dents and educators section .nd then there were my parents, who were very supportive, as always, and even- tually got used to seeing me eat and run I can ' t describe the anxiety, concern, and delight that I have experienced over the past few months while I spent nu- merous hours working on what is now the 1988 ROCKETEER However, I don ' t re gret any of the time that was sacrificed because otherwise I would be dissatisfied with the results. After all, if we are to make a difference, we ' ve got to put forth our best effort in all that we do And I feel that because of the Lord ' s will and guid- ance I have put forth my best effort. — Karla Parks 256 $£ • r a vy K
