Southwest Mississippi Junior College Summit, MS 39666 3 The life of an SMJC student is a mixture. The time spent here is everchanging and full of many new faces, exper¬ iences, and memories. Each student has a special place at Southwest. This place may be found in athletics, music, aca¬ demics, or fun. All the things that a student does at Southwest combine the mixture of the first years of college. 4 In the fall of 1986, 1,314 students enrolled at Southwest. This enrollment was one of the largest the college has had. A mixture indeed it was—blacks and whites; Catholics and Protestants; foreigners and natives; athletes, artists, intellectu¬ als, fun-lovers, commuters and residents. 6 Fun is defined as what provides amusement and enjoy¬ ment. Here at Southwest there is an abundance of amuse¬ ment and enjoyment and we still can ' t seem to get enough. We are constantly searching for something fun to do, and those fun times will yield the memories of SMJC that will last us a lifetime. OF FUN 9 Labor, toil, drudgery. No matter how you say it, the key to every college success story is work. Aside from fun and play, i day-to-day, repetitious tasks face each student. The chores are done with a bit of reluctance and tribulation, but nonethe¬ less they get done. Task by task, small goals are achieved, and progress is made. iafT . 10 jig Spirit is communicated in different ways. It can be seen in the leading of the fans in cheers, in the representation of the school in music, marching, and dancing, in the striving to make a name for Southwest in athletics, or in just radiating a sense of pride for the school. Memories. The best of all that happens at SMJC will never be forgotten. Recollection of prosperous and blissful adven¬ tures accompany past and present students always. The joy we ' ve all shared will be forever remembered, keeping SMJC alive in our hearts always. - OF MEMORIES 17 HIGHLIGHTS Ever since the first Southwest Mississippi Junior College Azalea Trail in 1966, the trail has brought publicity to the campus by displaying our flowers, buildings, students and campus in its entirety. The Azalea Court was first sponsored by the Summit Gar¬ den Club. The court is now sponsored by the college. Reigning over the trail at Southwest is an Azalea Queen chosen by the student body. Other girls chosen in a student body poll serve in the court and as maids. The 1986 Southwest Junior College Azalea Court maids and escorts are sophomores: Jill Grubbs and Raymond Van Dan; Alisha Yarborough and Tommy Johnston; Susan Moak and Stacy Perry; Freshmen, Robin Bean and Bucky Darden; Kathy Sirchia and Michael Fogg; Tammy Mixon and Denny Hughes; and Kim Alford and Kerry Ott.

Thursday, April 3, 1986, the union at Southwest Missis¬ sippi Junior College was transformed into a magical room with blue streamers and silver stars. At 7:30 p.m. the place came alive, and the room was brightened by smiling faces from students dressed in their best. Pictures were made by Lamar Tuminello in front of a castle backdrop. Music was provided by a D.J. from K106. Refreshments provided a rest between dancing and socializing. Many magical moments were made and a good time was had by all. Coach Kinslow and Coach Dancsisin enjoy the refreshments. Eldon shows us how it ' s done, wears his sunglasses Bear Necessities Day on April 24, 1986, was held at SMJC football field. A cheering crowd supported their favorite SMJC athletes throughout the day. From the relay race, to the dizzy izzy, Bear Day, 1986 included a sport for any athlete who wished to participate. Oth¬ er games included the car push, tug-of- war, the egg toss, the softball throw, and the tobacco spitting contest. The team competitions attracted much at¬ tention from the crowd at the field. The participants from each team barely had time to catch their breath before the next big event. Cafeteria workers served fried chicken and baked beans for all, and nursing students were on hand to check blood pressures. After the games, trophies were presented to Some Bear Day participants seek shade happy victors. Hank takes his first steps ' I told you we needed gas! One lap down, three to go! BEAR NECESSITIES DAY At commencement exercises in the Fine Arts Building on May 11,1986, the Rev. Bert Felder of Centenary United Methodist Church gave the invocation. Following was the presentation of t he class by Dean Charles R. Breeland, after which graduates received diplomas from President Horace C. Holmes. The SMJC Dynamics sang I Will Stand ' Mississippi ' s Lieutenant-Governor Brad Dye gave the commencement address, and the Rev. Phil Walker of First Baptist Church of Summit pronounced the benedic¬ tion. Of the 172 members listed to graduate, 16 were Phi Theta Kappa members, 11 received honors, 10 received high honors, and two were bestowed highest honors. Flowers for the commencement exercises were given by the family of former SMJC board chairman Britte Hughey, who died in January.

Our imaginations are put to the test finding activities to help us pass the time. We try to pet the stray kitten in the parking lot or try to get someone with shaving cream while trying to keep our potato chips dry. Remember when all the electricity went off and all the girls were caught without makeup and with wet hair? Who could forget all the gripes that were heard when the hot wa¬ ter went off in the boys ' dorm? At Christmas the students looked forward to new curtains and during the summer new paint jobs in their rooms. Our par¬ ents during the week, Mr. Magee and Coach Bailey, Mrs. Toney and Mrs. Smith definitely have their hands full. Have a Coke and a smile! All right girls, that ' s enough! Scott prepares for a long band trip to an away game Rene, I just know you ' ll let me borrow your new sweater. STUDENT LIFE THE DORMS ALLOWED BEHIND DESK. UNLESS YOU WORK HEBE. Mrs. Smith smiles, I know more than you think I do! Did you get the answer to number five? STUDENT LIFE: THE UNION 32 ' away from all the headaches and the heartache of school life, if only for a little while. Ping pong, pool and video games, television, and even the food keep us coming back day after day. Nothing seems to be able to keep us away—not the risk of getting a parking ticket, or all the rules that are imposed upon us. We look forward to the extra activities such as voting for offices or homecoming court, the prayer break¬ fasts, SGA and other meetings as well as the dances that we have each year. WE LOVE OUR UNION!

Janice plays a game of horseshoes. 37 Any coach will tell you that no matter how great the pre-game activities go, the thing that makes a Homecoming successful is a victory on the football field. That is just what the Bears did on Homecoming ' 86. They beat East Mis¬ sissippi by a score of 21-17. However, the victory wasn ' t achieved without a nerve-wracking ending. East Mississippi knocked on the door many times inside the Bears ' 20 yard line, but was denied victory by the strong back of the Bear defense. Ter¬ rance Turner and Michael Hodges scored for the Bears with rushing touch¬ downs. Also, Dale Faulk scored on the receiving end of a Trov Constatine half¬ back pass.

Naples has already begun to ration water. • I went to a parly at the U.S. Embassy last r night. It was sponsored by the marines. I found out this morning that they had a few [ terrorist threats there last night!!! I also had a beer across the street at Cafe de Paris, the place that got bombed a couple 3 of weeks ago. I ' m still alive at this writing! ' I just returned from my two-week trip to j Sicily. The countryside there is beautiful, but many towns are dirty. We did stay at a £ 9argeous town, Taoromina. We ate lunch « there and met a gentleman from Marble- f head, MA. He lives in MA for the summer and Taoromina in the winter. Tough life! Again I have been near terrorist threats. J Reagan forced down the airliner (bearing the terrorists who attacked the Achille t-auro) in Sicily, and we drove right by the airstrip. They also held 4 terrorists in Sira- cuse, where we were staying. Some peo- j pie are so concerned with threats that they canceled their trip to Greece.

Funds raised were donated to the American Heart Association. The stage band also performs for numerous civic organizations in Pike County.
