Pearl River Community College - Wildcat Yearbook (Poplarville, MS)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1962 volume:

FOREWORD Another year is being completed in our education with each student developing so- cially, intellectually, and spiritually. In our growth toward adulthood there have been both sorrows and joys. In the 1962 WILDCAT we have tried to preserve some of the memories of our school life so that they will not dim with the passing of time. Dorothy Day (Upper Left) Editor-in-Chief Edna Russell (Upper Right) Assistant Editor Sue Entrekin (Lower Left) Assistant Editor DEDICATION MISS LULA WEBB The Annual Staff would like to dedicate the 1962 WILD- CAT to two great ladies who have shown immeasurable in- terest in the students and their future. In the years of their teaching they have disciplined their stu- dents in both mind and charac- ter. It is with deep gratitude that we dedicate the 1962 WILDCAT to MISS LULA WEBB and MISS DIXIE B. CLANTON. MISS DIXIE B. CLANTON PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The efforts and work of the staff of the yearbook have made available for us the record of this year at Pearl River Junior College. We express to each of them our appreciation. We hope that each member of the student body will keep this book as a reminder of a happy and profitable year in college. G. H.
