The hotel was located in the resort area of Summit, Mississippi, where “Godbold’s Mineral Wells” was a well known national health resort noted for its mineral waters. Business was good at the resort until Oliver Seale revealed that the minerals were only scrap iron and fifty pounds of salt which had been poured into the wells. Today, Southwest Mississippi Junior Col¬ lege is a thriving, productive school. The faculty numbers 45, and the student body over 1,000. The campus covers 45 of the 505 acres owned by the college. dfTAMD UP AMD CHEER WJt m: - H ' ( 0 : S v V.VV? ' ;• v % [,;- “Come on. Support your school!

Look everybody!” “Okay Boys, it’s 10:00—time for you to go.” “Now it’s after 11:00, you’re supposed to be in your rooms, not out in the ter¬ race.” “Mrs. Wilkinson, I lost 30$ in the candy machine.” “Shelly Ford, you’ve got a long distance call on the downstairs phone.” “I’m glad our T.V. finally ar¬ rived.” “I’m hungry, are the candy ma¬ chines working yet?” “Hey, can I borrow your homework?” “Beverly Harvey, you forgot to sign in.” “Did you know we could stay out an hour later this year?” I- 8 Girl ' 8 Dormitory Bottom left: When the furniture finally arrived for the dorm, Connie Beard could not wait to try it out.

Oh boy, I’m starving!” I For Some, A Tragedy; For Others, A Miracle North Pike Elementary School—One of the hardest hit areas. These homes in North McComb are on adjacent lots. This showed how the tornado destroyed one house and left the one next door unharmed except for a few limbs. 20 X ?P : home on Hi-way 51 in McComb suffered heavy damage. Above: Another demolished home—the n ds spared this one nothing. Below: One of the hundreds of old trees uprooted by the storm. Below: The en K)lished SW Mall is to be rebuilt within the next year z “Oh, it ' s just a little thunderstorm; It’ll pass over.” That’s what some of us at SMJC thought January 10 , 1975, at 8:23. However, those students in classes facing east were looking out the windows watch¬ ing a dark funnel tossing bricks, lumber, parts of homes, clothes, and other debris, as it danced and skipped in the dark gray sky. As the storm passed over, taking power lines with it, we were left with no electric¬ ity for the rest of the day. As students gazed out windows and saw ambulances, highway-patrolmen, police, and civil de¬ fense units squilling through our campus, we knew something disastrous had hap¬ pened. It was soon learned that North Pike Elementary School, located only one- fourth mile from SMJC had been de¬ stroyed by the tornado. Quickness and alertness by the faculty resulted in no deaths or serious injuries of the 400 students. Our thoughts did not turn to the possible damage the tornado had done to McComb, until we heard on the radio that the SW Mall had been demolished. Still, no one suspected that over one hundred homes and businesses were completely blown away. Another hard-hit area was along Summit Street in the Burgland Community. Rag¬ ing, powerful winds sucked an apartment complex up into the sky and strewed it for miles. Numerous homes and buildings were destroyed in this area. A quite elegant part of McComb suffered greatly from the destructive breeze. Hun¬ dreds of “great-grandfather” oak trees were blown up by the roots and laid across the roofs of the homes. In this section of town, our former college president, Mr. H.T. Huddleston made his home. His home was totally lost. As in every tornado, there were reports of strange experiences. One lady in west McComb heard the storm approaching so she took her new baby and attempted to leave her house. After realizing it would not be safe to leave, she went back inside and got in a closet. When the storm was over, she walked out of the closet to find that the only thing standing in her house was the closet and three walls. Another lady reported that she found a rug with Rose’s Department Store on it that had a dozen eggs in a carton wrapped in it. She opened this carton to find that no eggs were broken. This was the worst tragedy McComb had suffered in twenty-five years. Luckily, there were no more than twelve deaths. Although, to look at the path of destruc¬ tion the tornado left, one cannot under¬ stand why and how there were not thou sands of tragedies. It will take many years to rebuild the town to what it was. But, let’s be thankful we have something left to rebuild. Cookie Crumbles Captures Mess Mama Bear Contest On February 29, Cookie Crumbles was crowed “Mess Mamma Bear—75.” Stu¬ dents, faculty, and vistors attending this as¬ sembly donated money which was given to the former president of the college who lost his home in the tornado. The M.C., Mr. Henry Fant, made the en¬ tire audience chuckle throughout the pro¬ gram. He gave an extremely personal de¬ scription of each contestant. Here are a few facts about the “girls”: Lotta Zits (Jimmy McBride) had a motto which was “I never met a man I didn’t like.” She was built like a brick dog house and her favorite subject in school was lunch. First alternate, Leah Tard (Butch Lee) won the baby King-Kong look alike con¬ test. Leah had a very bad temper. During dress rehearsal, she was overheard threat¬ ening Marsha Mellow in the rest-room with “watch it skag, knock my mascara brush inna sink again and I’ll rip every hair outta ya head!” Phyliss Stein (Clawhammer), Lotta Zits, 2and Able N.

Presented by all the girls, Mrs. Wilkinson shows her new tray. Yo ho ho ... Yo ho ho ... It wasn’t coming from the top of the roof, but from the sec¬ ond floor of the girl’s dorm. The sounds kept getting closer and closer; then, the door flew open and much to our surprise there stood Santa Claus and his helper with three bags of gifts. We all got excited as he came down the stairs. Visions of presents danced in our heads. Everyone drew a number and waited patiently for Santa to call us up front to receive our presents. After giving over 100 gifts, Santa and the girls enjoyed refreshments and entertainment. Coming back for “seconds” are Beverly Harvey and Vickie Persick. Having been a bad girl, Debbie Bullock trys to in¬ gratiate herself with Santa and pursuade him to give her a gift. 25 Mall of Fame B asketball Team ... Sophomore S.G.A. Representative ...

A Season Awaits With Glory In Her Eyes. 43 The Thrill of Victory—The Agony of Defeat 1974-75 Bear football turned out to be the most exciting in many years. The follow¬ ing is a recap of the nine games played during the season beginning with the SMJC, Delta loss to Carmen in the Hurri¬ cane Bowl, and ending with the winning of All-American honors by Dennis Newman. Sept. 7—SMJC 0 Delta 0 Carmen 2 Both teams were ready for the nondivisio- nal season opener, but rain and strong winds from Hurricane Carmen forced the cancellation of the game, until next year. Sept 7—SMJC 13 Hinds 6 The Bears who had tasted the sweet honey of victory only once in the last two years, awoke from hibernation, to smash the Hinds Eagles before a large crowd on the Eagles’ home field. Fine defensive play by the Bears, along with the help of five Hinds turnovers helped the Bears gain vic¬ tory number one of the season. Defensive end James Atkins, raced 60 yards with an interception for the first Bear score. Quarterback Joel Moncrief added the final score on a plunge from the two yard line. Sept 19—SMJC 17 Itawamba 7 In the home opener, the Bears put their spectacular defense together with a fine of¬ fensive rushing attack to bury the visiting Indians. Dennis Newman was the stand-out defen¬ sive player with four interceptions. New¬ man started the scoring with the returning of his first interception 45 yards for a TD. Barry McNabb booted a 30 yard field goal, and tailback, Tom Womack carried the ball one yard for the final score of the night. James “Scat” Williams paced the Bears’ of¬ fensive attack rushing for 177 yards. Oct 3—SMJC 20 Jones 7 It was a defensive battle all the way, with the Bears picking up only 141 in total yards, and Jones only 155. Bear All-American, Dennis Newman pro¬ vided the most exciting play of the game when he raced 70 yards for a TD on a punt return. Scat Williams added the other Bear tallies on runs of eight and two yards. The win left the Bears 3-0 and in first place in the South, going into the game with arch-rival Co-Lin the next week. Oct 12—SMJC 19 Co-Lin 21 “It was a heartbreaker” said Bear head coach Floyd Davis about his Bears’ first loss of the season. It was a tough one to lose after the Bears had battled back so hard time and time again to take the lead 19-14, on Tom Wo¬ mack’s two yard run with six minutes re¬ maining in the game. Then it all ended with less than two minutes remaining in the game, when Co-Lin, with a fourth and one situation at the Bear 26 caught the Bears looking for a short dive up the middle, and sent their fleet running back Daryl Charrier outside for the 26 yard touchdown run. Bear receiver Greg Walsh, had a great night catching nine passes for 135 yards. Oct 19—SMJC 10 Gulf Coast 20 Gulf Coast came to Bear Country to do three things. One was to win, take first place in the South Division, and to spoil Southwest Homecoming. Much to the re¬ gret of the Bears, they accomplished all three of these goals. The Bear offense seemed to miss Scat Wil¬ liams who was out for the second week in in a row with a leg injury. Jed Wall collected the only Bear TD one on a one yard run. David McKey added a 27 yard field goal in the dismal Bear game. Oct 26—SMJC 14 East Central 6 The Bear defense returned to their old form to prevent a disaster. Moose Tolbert and Joe Young were just two of the hard hitting stand-outs for the Bears. On offense, Jed Wall and Tom Womack each scored a TD to help spearhead the Bear ground attack. Nov. 2—SMJC 6 Pearl River 37 It was a sad trip home for the many Bear fans and players that made the long trip to Poplarville for what they had hoped to see was a Bear victory and the South Division title. The only thing Bear fans had to cheer about was the TD pass from Joel Moncrief to Craig Hornsby. Nov. 9—SMJC 9 East Ms. 6 The Bears bounced back like all good teams do, to assure themselves of a win¬ ning season with an upset victory over na¬ tionally top ranked, East Mississippi. The game took its toll on the Bear players, with Joel Moncrief leaving after only four plays with a shoulder separation. He was followed by linesmen Rudy Oden and Kenny Corken with knee and ankle in¬ juries. Late in the game, Craig Hornsby was cut down with a knee injury. The Bear scores came on a safety, and an eight-yard run by Jed Wall. Wall’s run was set by defensive back, Wilford Case who made a key interception to set up the score. Nov. 14—SMJC 20 Northeast 20 The Bears travelled to Booneville for their final game of the season. They were greeted with cold weather, snow, and a red hot group of Northeast Tigers. David McKey filled in for the injured Moncrief and performed excellently for a Freshman quarterback, hitting Jimmy Hutson for a 30 yard TD pass and scoring on a five yard run. Back up quarterback, Eddie Smet, col¬ lected the final Bear score on a one-yard sneak, following a come-from-behind-drive late in the final quarter to tie the score 20- 20 . 44 Lineman Bob Newman came away from the 13-6 victory over Hinds with a broken nose.

All-State, All-Star, All-American Jimmy McBride was named most outstanding line¬ sman in the South Division and Dennis Newman was named the most outstanding back. The three other players also named were Paul Miller, an interior lineman who stands 6’2” and weighs 235. McNabb was selected for his ability to boom punts more than 50 yards. He is a sophomore and is 6’ and weighs 225 pounds. Joe Young, 6 , r , 235 athlete has been outstanding at defensive tackle for the Bears. Another award was bestowed on stand-out Dennis Newman: ALL-AMERICAN in the Junior College team. Newman, a 6’, 190-pounder, was one of the leaders on the victorious Bear Team this season. : Southwest distinguished itself among the State’s Ju¬ nior College football teams by placing five of its players on the All-State Squad and having two of those chosen as the best in their fields. 48 Jimmy McBride .. .

Great Expectations characterized the atti¬ tude of Bear Fans as the 1974 cage season neared. Returning were four starters and two top substitutes from the 12-12 season of a year ago. Southwest ranked among the State powers in early polls. Leadership abound as Coach Oliver Young’s Bears posted a balanced attack with five men av¬ eraging in double figures. Led by 6’7” All- State, Tyler Thompson, playmaker “Frog” Froechtenicht, forwards, Lynell Mathews, Robert Felder, and Guard, Paul Hough, Southwest became regarded as the team to beat in the South Division. Good perfor¬ mances by veterans Anderson Taplin, John Ball and freshman Dennis Prowell consti¬ tuted a team completeness so essential to a winning tradition. Billy Froechtenicht passes the ball to a teammate in an 80-74 victory over arch-rival Co-Lin. 50 r Coach Young calls a play from the bench. Much to the dissatisfaction of Eugene Smith, Tyler Thompson scores again. Lynell Mathews muscles in for an easy score against Holmes. Southwest initiated the ’74 season in a grand fashion with an 87-74 romp past Holmes. A ten-point loss to highly re¬ garded Delta did not shake Southwest’s confidence as the Bear’s swamped arch¬ rival Co-Lin and surprised powerful Utica enroute to the Southwest Invitational Championship. The Bears finished the first half of the season with an unblem¬ ished conference record to earn first place in the division. Paul Hough stretches to control a rebound.

But the question being asked today is this: “Is girls’ basketball for real?” The answer is: “you can bet your green onions on it.” Girls’ basketball is here to stay and is growing in interest and talent every year. It could well be one of the fastest growing sports in America. Yes, I can remember when clumsy ole girls made a feeble attempt at this MAN’S sport and those big sissies had to play half court. Those bumbling, stumbling gals were doing good if they could keep from killing each other. But things have changed so much, so quickly, that the game has developed into a real sport. For one thing, the game itself has changed. Girls’ basketball is no longer played with half court and no longer used six players. It is a full court, five players, and under a thirty second shooting clock that makes the game especially fast and exciting. Another thing that has changed greatly is the player. Certainly, she’s come a long way. Today’s girls’ basketball player can hit those low percentage shots from the out¬ side. SMJC’s Coot Gilley does it every game. Today’s player can hand the ball in a highly efficient manner. Georgette Cooper is one of the better players in this area. Today’s player is also bigger and more ef¬ fective under the net. The tall girl on our team was Carol Smith and she could rack up the points from underneath the goal. SMJC’s team was undefeated for the regu¬ lar season.

Spirit, enthusiasm, optimism, jubilation, joviality, excitement ... all de¬ scribe our year. With our winning football, boy’s basketball, and girl’s basketball teams, everyone could become excited and boastful of the Bears. Pep rallies, Bon-Fires, and B.B.Q.’s were some of the ways the bear fans expressed their spirit and happiness.

Southwest gymnastics coach Vannie Ed¬ wards knows how beautiful it is, because that’s all his team has done in their two- year stay at Southwest. Edwards’ team doesn’t know what the word “lose” means, and he makes sure that the word is not a part of his players’ vocabulary. It was his team that placed second in the nation last spring among top universities in the country. It was his team that placed six of its mem¬ bers on the All-American Team: Claudia Fizzell, Deana and Debbie Johnson, Mag¬ gie Ortiz, Janie VanEman, and Marilyn Woods. It was his team that brought the West Ger¬ man Team to Southwest. It was his team that toured Europe in the winter, representing Southwest, the state of Mississippi and the United States. Why was the Southwest team given all these honors? Simply because they worked hard every day for four hours in a hot gym, because they refuse to listen to the word “lose” and because they were brave enough to hurdle all the obstacles that were in their path to the victory stand. The late great Vince Lombardi once said, “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” I believe this statement sums up the philosophy of Coach Edwards, and the Southwest Mississippi Junior College Gymnastics team.

Of this faculty, two had Master’s degrees. There were about 40 students enrolled in the college that year. The courses offered were: Chemistry, English Composition, History of Western Europe, Math, and Plane trigonometry. In keeping up with a changing pace, today the college boasts 26 different departments of study and a faculty of over 45. 74 E R A.RFI EFf R BMBM RERIM 6 FQIieETTIMe Academics and Clubs 75 Anders, Mac Bozeman, Patsy Breeland, Charles Brewer, Mary Brister, Marilyn Burrows, Robert Carr, Jo Ann Caousey, Marvin Cotten, Frances Davis, Floyd Dunaway, Beverly Edwards, Vannie Fant, Henry Fields, Larry Holmes, Horace 76 Johnson, Betty Johnson, Willian.

The English Department at all times strove to upgrade the use of written and spoken English. English Composition, taught by Mrs. Mil¬ dred Craig, Mrs. Jean Williams, and Mrs. Helen Gregory, gave the student training in written composition. It was a study of the principles governing correctness, clear¬ ness, and effectiveness of expression. Through a study of grammar and sentence structure, the writing of themes, and ex¬ tensive reading, it developed in the stu¬ dent an ease in the use of the language. Mrs. Mary Brewer instructed Public Speaking. Chief emphasis was placed upon the delivery of carefully prepared speeches, and major attention was given to such principles of public speaking as au¬ dience analysis, collection of materials and outlining. English Literature offered selected read¬ ings in the literature of England beginning with the Anglo-Saxon period. A study of the literature against the social, economic, and cultural motivation was the basis of Sophomore Literature. The object of this course taught by Mrs. Charles Reynolds was to give the student a knowledge of English Literature in its historical setting from Beowulf down to contemporary literature. Serving as Chairman of the English De¬ partment and secretary of the SMJC De¬ velopment Foundation, Mrs. Reynolds also taught Freshman Honors English.

The book collection complements all curricula, academic, vocational, and technical, in addition to supplying recreational materials for students and faculty. It consists of books in every subject field; Dewey Decimal is used in its organization. The library subscribes to 125 periodicals in¬ cluding some in every area as well as profes¬ sional journals and some for recreation. Along with a microfilm reader printer, Simmons Library offers a photocopier, collection of recordings, filmstrips, the Mary Cain Collection and the Simmons Collection.

In October, eight delegates from the SMJC chapter attended the State Conven¬ tion in Natchez, Mississippi. Plans are being made to send the whole chapter to the National Convention this Spring in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. pi)i Tt)efa Kappa 85 The Federal Government course taught by Mrs. Wallace, offered a comprehensive and lucid pre¬ sentation of the structure, procedure, and under- lying principles of American Government. It was designed to provide dynamic and socially useful instruction, and to help students distin¬ guish between fundamental and ephemeral ele¬ ments in government. A course designed to give the student a working knowledge of our economic system was taught by Mrs. White. Economics combined a lucid pic¬ ture of our system with a discussion of principles underlying the operation. Mr. Henry Fant’s class. Western Civilization, was a survey course designed to give freshmen a background for more specialized study in history. A study of the Bible with emphasis placed upon its historical and literary value was taught by Reverand Larry Fields. Coach Vannie Edwards taught psychology and sociology. Students studied the way people live together in society; nature and growth of per¬ sonality, social groups and personal disorganization.

One night when no one had anything to study (ha), we decided to go to Lawson’s for a banana split. Well, last year, John Ogden and Moose Tolbert had introduced the art of hogging to several of the stu¬ dents. We, the sophomores, decided to teach the freshmen how to eat a banana split. You take your hands, put them be¬ hind your back, wait for the sound to go, then really get into it. But, there is one rule—you don’t wash your face until you get back to the dorm. How gross!

Joe Williams—Data processing Thomas Calhoun—algebra, trigonometry, calculus, D.E. It was the objective of SMJC to interest more people in the field of mathematics and to encourage more students to enter this field. The courses were designed for mathematics and pre-engineering majors, and those students seeking majors in any of the allied science fields. The curriculum of the department of science of SMJC pertaining to pre-profes¬ sional courses was designed to give stu¬ dents pursuant to the B.S. Degree the two full years of study in chemistry, chemical engineering, general science, pre-medical, pre-dental, medical technology, and pre¬ pharmacy. A one year course is offered to students desiring to work toward the B.S. Degree in nursing. Above: John Jones-algebra, math; Right: Robert Burrows, biology. 104 SMJC offered a course in cosmetology which began in January.

This was the night of the big game between the fresh¬ man and the sophomore girls. At 7:00, everyone was ready for action. Water balloons were thrown as a means for the darling cheerleaders to show spirit. It was a rough, tough, and exciting game. Sherree Sinquefield scored twice for the freshmen. Debbie “Tomahawk” O’Quin was signal caller for the frosh and Karen “Buckey” Felder quarterbacked the once undefeated Meat Mamas. The final score of the game was 14-0. During halftime activities, Tomacino Wo¬ mack was crowned the Queen. Other members of the court were, sophomore maid, Phyllis McKey, freshman maid.

HAPPY� SPIRITED PEACE SOUTHWEST Gene Phelps—Photographei i ! | r My intention as editor of this yearbook was to capture a part of one year of your life in pictures and to give you a brief his¬ tory of the place where you spent that year. It would have been impossible to capture every event of the school term in this book ... but, I hope each of you can relate to some part of the annual, even if its only to look up your school picture in about ten years and see how funny you used to wear your hair (or to see how much weight you ' ve gained since that pic¬ ture was made?). Without the help of my Photographer Gene Phelps and his assistant George Lan- Sylvia Hartzog-Editor-in-Chief sing, these fantastic photos would never have been developed. Thanks you, guys! Also, Mr. J. Lyons Balser, Professional Photographer, thank-you for taking the Who ' s Who pictures. Thanks to my staff; Mrs. Neil Craig, Annual Advisor; to those who helped sell ads; to John Ball, Gene Phelps, Bulldog Morse and Lugenia Rob¬ ertson for helping with the sports section; and to Roger Lawrence for the art-work on the cover. To each of you, I wish you the best in life and may you find peace and happiness in whatever you choose to do. Remember, good friends are for keeps, so keep in touch! Sylvia Hartzog—Editor 160
