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

Page 15 text:

With the long hours of pre-school training and review behind, the faculty was ready. All that was needed now was the students. Thursday and Friday 1500 students enrolled at Pearl River junior College for the 1976-77 school year, and nnost likely during registration you saw about 1499 of your fellow scholars. Increased enrollment brought about larger lines and as everyone shuffled from building to building there seemed to be no relief in sight. Standing in rows, students had plenty of time to tell about their summer, but it was time to start, the beginning was here. A lot of the new students had looks of confu- sion, disbelief and wonders of ' What am I doing here ' expressions on their face. Many thought they would never make it through the long lines, but they did, and everything was ready for the green freshman to become part of the River. Sophomores were a little more secure of themselves — they knew the affair would be a hassle — but it was something they must endure. Registration ended on Friday, that gave every- one two whole days to contemplate exactly what they had done.
