MCLENDON, President Pearl River College has not published an annual for the past several years and I find it indeed gratifying to know that the faculty and students have shown interest in this publication which forcefully portrays the college life and student activities of to- day. This record in pictures should serve as a pleasant reminder of our college life. It is with pleasure that I congratulate the members of the staff who have faithfully given time and talent to produce this book so that pleasant memories of our days at Pearl River College may be preserved for present and future generations.

This program is of special interest to veterans who lack high school credits or who need refresher work to better equip them for following specialized courses in colleges and universities. A student is allowed to enroll in this program at any time, to take any subject desired, and to progress in keeping with his ability and effort. Individual attention and vocational guidance are given each student by counselors in the student workshop. This program has been in operation since January 21, 1946, and has attracted many veterans from various parts of the South. £pecLd Students Caroll H. Buckley Columbia, Miss. John B.
