classes.    Located    thirty    minutes    I  mm    the    Maynew    Campus,    it    has    an 
enrollment    ol    over   three    hundred    students   and    a    stall    ol    nineteen 
teachers,    as   well    as    three    more    teachers    that    teach    night    classes   at 
C  olumhus    I  ligh.     I  he    C  ampus    director    is  Jacqueline    H.    Newton.     I  he 
main    reason   students   choose    to   attend    the    CAM)    Extension    seems   to 
he    the    lad    that    it  s   close    to    home,    which    has    made    it    convenient    lor 
them. 

Jason    Knight    said.    "Because    this    is    my    hrst   year   out   ol    high 
school,    its    nice    that    CAFB    is    so    close,    which    makes    it    possible    lor 
me    to    still    live    at    home. 

teachers    seem    to    think    alike   as   well.       Mr.   Jerome    Key,    who 


teaches    Music    Appreciation    and    Music    lor    Children,    says    that    he 
likes.    "  1  he    small    class   atmosphere   and    the    personal    relationships   with 
the    students.      Ms.    Dalrymple    drives    almost    hlly    minutes    just    to    come 
to    CArB    and    teach    her    many    math    classes.    As    well    as    Mr.    Kev.    she 
likes    the    small    classes,    as    well    as    the    ability    to    have    better    teacher- 
student    relations.    Not    only    does   CArB    seem    to    be    nice    lor   students 
and    teachers,    but    it    also    is    a    plus    lor    the    enlisted    men    and    women 
who    are    currently    serving    in    the    L'S    military.    Many    ol    them    may    not 
have    been    able    to    start    or   complete    their   college    education    belore 
joining,    and    hJVlC  C     gives   them   the   opportunity. 

with    all    this    said,    it    is   easy   to   see   why   people   take   the   steps    to 
attend    EMCC    at    the    CAFB    campus.

Living  in  the  dorm  is  one  of  the  most  exciting 
and  enjoyable  experiences  a  student  can  have 
while  attending  the  Scooba  Campus. 

Many  students  on  campus  consider  their  dorm 
to  be  their  second  home. 

"Living  in  a  dorm  gives  one  the  responsibility  to 
take  a  step  forward  in  communication  and 
understanding  because  you  must  learn  to 
cooperate  with  a  roommate,"  said  Casey  Finch. 

Staying  in  the  dorm  allows  students  to  take  a 
big  step  toward  independence.  It's  a  time  for 
students  to  learn  to  stop  relying  on  their  parents 
for  everything  and  start  learning  how  to  make 
decisions  on  their  own.  With  the  late  night  studies 
and  the  early  morning  fire  alarms,  the  dorms  are 
one  of  the  most  interesting  places  on  campus. 
Dorm  life  allows  students  to  take  important  steps 


toward  responsibility  and  helps  them  to  develop 
their  dreams  for  the  future. 

"Living  in  the  dorm  has  been  a  very  good 
experience  for  me.  I  have  really  learned  a  lot  from 
it,"  said  Nikki  Truman. 

In  the  fall,  the  new  girls  honors  dorm  opened. 
While  waiting  for  the  opening,  some  girls  had  to 
live  three  to  a  room.  Once  the  dorm  opened,  they 
had  a  chance  to  spread  out  and  enjoy  living  two 
to  a  room.  Because  of  an  increase  in  enrollment, 
some  of  the  boys  had  to  live  with  three 
roommates,  causing  the  rooms  to  be  very 
cluttered.  With  the  new  living  arrangements,  most 
dorm  students  learned  quickly  that  they  would 
have  to  be  cooperative  to  make  living  together 
comfortable. 
While  staying  in  the  dorm,  students  meet  many 


new  people  with  different  backgrounds, 
personalities,  and  interests.  Students  must  learn  to 
deal  with  all  the  different  personalities  and  learn 
to  get  along  with  each  other. 

Whether  it's  studying,  hanging  out  with  friends, 
or  talking  on  the  phone,  students  make  many 
memories  from  living  in  the  dorm. 

"Staying  in  the  dorm  has  been  a  great 
experience  for  me.  I  have  gotten  to  meet  many 
new  people  and  make  many  new  friends.  The  best 
thing  about  the  dorm  is  getting  to  hang  out  with 
my  friends,"  said  Brendan  Manders. 

Some  of  the  great  steps  in  life,  like  friendships, 
memories,  and  experiences,  are  all  made  at  the 
East  Mississippi  Community  College  residence 
halls.

Steppins  into  the  Art$...Vine  Grove 


Over  twenty  years  ago,  a  tradition  began  at 
EMCC  that  the  students  enjoy,  the  month  long 
events  of  the  Pine  Grove  Festival.  This  festival  is 
held  in  April  each  year.  It  allows  instructors, 
students,  and  people  of  the  community  the 
opportunity  to  celebrate  the  fine  arts  such  as 
great  performances,  plays,  literature,  music,  and 
art  exhibits. 

On  April  I,  2004,  the  EMCC  drama  students 
performed  "The  Praying  Mantis"  in  the  Stennis 
Hall  Auditorium  and  later  performed  "The 
Monkey's  Paw"  on  April  27  as  a  dinner  theatre. 
"The  Monkey's  Paw"  was  also  performed  on  April 
28  in  the  cafeteria  and  was  served  with  snacks 
and  beverages. 


On  April  7,  the  EMCC  faculty  and  staff  played  a 
basketball  game  against  the  Technical  Difficulties, 
a  TV  broadcast  department,  in  the  Keyes  Currie 
Coliseum.  The  event  was  a  fundraiser  for  the 
college's  Chapel  in  the  Pines  project. 

Students  also  enjoyed  Inflatable  Fun  and  the 
mechanical  bull  held  in  the  Student  Activities 
Building.  There  was  also  a  concert  by  Santa  Fe. 

"The  Santa  Fe  concert  was  the  most  fun  I  had  in 
Scooba  last  year,"  said  Beth  Brownlee.  "It  was  a 
great  time  and  my  friends  and  I  really  enjoyed  it." 

There  were  band  and  choral  concerts  held  after 
lunch  one  day  on  the  back  steps  of  the 
Administration  Building.  Desserts  were  also  served 
after  the  concerts. 


An  art  exhibit  was  held  where  the  Petrified  Chil 
Dogs,  a  band  made  up  of  instructors  Bobb^ 
Thrash,  Terry  Cherry,  Bill  Lauderdale,  and  Roi 
Posey,  performed  in  the  Student  Center.  / 
student  band  of  John  Warren,  John  Coleman,  an< 
Jeremy  Wright  also  performed.  Students  couk 
view  amazing  paintings  and  drawings  and  wer 
also  able  to  participate  in  a  silk  painting  exhibit. 

During  this  festival  every  student  on  campu 
can  find  something  that  relates  to  thei 
personalities.  The  festival  ended  with  awards  da' 
ceremonies  and  the  annual  presentation  of  a  cop 
of  the  literary  magazine,  Syzygy,  to  Academi 
Dean  John  Perry.

Pie  m  the  F^ee...  Stepping  itito  ^  Mess 


During  Homecoming  Week  on  the  Scooba 
Campus,  the  pie  in  the  face  at  the  Pep  Rally  has 
become  one  of  the  great  traditions  that  the 
students  enjoy.  This  event  became  a  tradition  five 
years  ago,  and  it  has  grown  to  be  the  students' 
favorite  activity  during  the  week-long  events  of 
Homecoming. 

On  "Hush  Day",  a  day  during  Spirit  Week,  the 
cheerleaders  wear  a  sign  around  their  necks  on 
which  their  names  are  written.  They  have  to  wear 
it  all  day  long.  If  the  cheerleader  talks  to  anyone 
during  this  day  she  must  give  up  her  sign.  It  is 
very  hard  for  the  cheerleaders  to  remain  silent  on 
this  day.  Everyone  is  trying  there  hardest  to  carry 
on  a  conversation  with  one  of  them  so  that  they 
can  be  the  special  person  come  Friday.  Then  on 
Friday  during  the  Pep  Rally  the  cheerleader  will 


get  pied  by  the  person  that  she  spoke  to. 

The  pies  get  gooier  and  tastier  every  year  by 
adding  marshmallow  cream  and  chocolate  and 
strawberry  syrup.  The  cheerleaders  stand  and 
await  their  assailants  to  smash  pies  into  their 
faces.  The  students  standing  around  always 
manage  to  leave  with  pie  all  over  themselves  as 
well. 

"I  never  manage  to  get  one  of  the  cheerleaders' 
signs,  but  I  did  manage  to  get  pie  all  over  me,  so  I 
struck  back  by  throwing  one  of  my  own,"  says 
Megan  Whitaker. 

The  Pep  Rally  always  ends  with  the  cheerleaders 
and  students  leaving  a  trail  of  whipped  cream  and 
marshmallow  cream  all  the  way  back  to  the 
dorms. 

"The  best  part  about  getting  pied  in  the  face 


first  was  being  able  to  get  my  revenge  on 
everyone  who  threw  pie  at  me,"  says  sophomore 
Donnie  Stokes. 

"I  enjoyed  slamming  a  pie  into  a  cheerleader's 
face,  and  then  getting  smashed  from  behind  with 
another  pie,"  says  sophomore  Layla  Ashtiyany. 
"The  best  part  about  the  Pep  Rally  was  the 
cheerleading  stunts  and  the  pieing  in  the  face." 
The  Pep  Rally  and  pie  event  are  great  steps 
toward  everlasting  friendships. 

The  hardest  thing  to  do  once  all  of  this  fun  is 
over  is  getting  back  to  the  dorm  and  getting  the 
marshmallow  cream  and  chocolate  syrup  out  of 
your  hair.  This  is  just  a  great  day  loaded  with  fun.

Inflatable  ¥un.„  Ste\>\>\ns  into  ^  Goofc  Time 


At  the  EMCC  Scooba  Campus,  Inflatable  Fun 
Day  has  become  a  tradition.  Inflatable  Fun  always 
has  many  inflatable  activities  for  students  to  enjoy 
with  their  friends.  These  usually  consist  of  an 
obstacle  course  race,  a  bungee  race,  sumo 
wrestling,  boxing,  and  jousting. 

This  day  brings  many  students  together  on 
campus  to  enjoy  their  time  at  Scooba. 

Sophomore  Beth  Brownlee  said,  "I  really  enjoy 
watching  my  friends  make  fools  of  themselves, 
and  I  love  the  whole  experience." 

Students  make  many  memories  while  playing  on 
all  of  the  inflatable  activities.  This  is  a  time  for 
students  to  enjoy  fun  competition,  relax,  and  just 


forget  about  the  worries  of  school. 

This  day  gives  students  the  chance  to  come 
together  and  have  amusing  competitions  against 
one  another  through  the  various  activities. 
Students  enjoy  hitting  one  another  and  laughing 
about  it  when  they  fall  down  or  lose  a  fight. 
This  is  a  positive  event  that  all  the  students  can 
get  involved  in,  whether  by  participating  in  the 
activities  or  by  just  laughing  and  enjoying 
watching  their  friends. 

Inflatable  fun  is  held  two  days  out  of  the 
school  year.  It  is  held  during  Homecoming  Week 
and  also  once  during  the  Spring.  A  new  activity 
was  introduced  in  the  spring  -  mechanical  bull 


riding.  Students  lined  up  to  see  who  could  stay  on 
the  bull  the  longest.  Football  coach  Kelby 
Bowman  also  tried  out  the  bull  riding  device,  and 
did  very  well. 

"I  enjoyed  Inflatable  Fun  because  I'm  a  very 
competitive  person,  and  I  loved  being  sprung  back 
in  the  bungee  race,"  says  freshman  Megan 
"Cornbread"  Hester. 

The  best  part  about  this  day  is  seeing  the  smiles 
on  all  the  students'  faces.  In  every  direction  you 
look,  you  won't  find  a  frown  anywhere.  At 
EMCC,  there  are  always  activities  going  on  to 
keep  the  students  busy  and  full  of  smiles.

A  Step  in  &  Different  Direction 


Like  students,  faculty,  staff,  and  administrators 
like  to  have  fun  once  in  a  while.  Two  events  in  the 
past  year  helped  them  loosen  up  and  take  a  step 
in  a  fun  direction:  the  Chapel  basketball  game  and 
the  annual  convocation. 

The  Chapel  basketball  game,  held  in  the  spring 
of  2004,  was  a  chance  for  faculty,  staff  and 
administration  to  become  basketball  players  and 
cheerleaders  for  a  good  cause.  This  new  basketball 
team  played  against  the  Technical  Difficulties,  a 
team  made  up  of  people  in  the  broadcast  field  and 
spearheaded  by  WTOK  sports  anchor  Lindsey 
Hall. 

Students  watched  their  favorite  teachers  battle 
it  out  with  the  Technical  team,  and  they  also  got 
to  see  their  teachers,  dressed  as  cheerleaders, 
perform  cheers  and  a  pyramid.  Mrs.  Mary  "M" 


Margaret  Smith  and  Roxanne  Williams  helmed  the 
band-aid  station  for  any  injuries,  and  fortunately, 
there  were  none  but  sore  muscles  the  day  after. 
Administrators  Dr.  Bud  Smith  and  Mickey  Stokes 
served  as  referees  for  the  game. 

The  EMCC  team  beat  the  Technical  Difficulties 
in  the  last  few  seconds  of  the  game,  when  EMCC 
assistant  women's  basketball  coach  Sharon 
Thompson  made  the  winning  shot.  The  game  was 
not  only  a  financial  success  for  the  Chapel,  but  a 
fun  time  for  all. 

The  convocation,  held  in  August  every  year 
before  students  return,  is  a  time  for  faculty  and 
staff  to  listen  to  motivational  speakers,  receive 
new  information,  and  catch  up  with  each  other 
before  the  school  year  begins. 

In  addition  to  listening  to  a  welcome  from  new 


administration  and  a  great  guest  speaker,  this 
year's  convocation  was  filled  with  fun  and  games, 
including  an  egg  race,  basketball  throw,  karoake 
contest,  and  womanless  beauty  pageant.  Faculty, 
staff  and  administrators  were  divided  into  teams 
for  the  contests. 

Faculty  had  to  race  across  the  gym  floor  with 
eggs  in  spoons,  some  created  dance  moves  and 
backup  singers  to  go  with  their  karaoke  contests, 
and  the  ladies  had  a  great  time  preparing  the  men 
for  the  womanless  beauty  pageant.  With  lipstick, 
eye  shadow,  wigs,  dresses,  props,  and  prosthetic 
balloons  added  to  give  them  that  extra  "oomph" 
the  five  brave  men  stepped  around  the  gym  for  all 
to  enjoy.  The  winner  of  the  pageant  was  Jim 
Huerkamp,  but  it  can  be  agreed  upon  by  all 
involved  that  everyone  was  a  winner  that  day.

Steppm5  ittto  the  Hoynccom\n$  Spirit 


One  of  the  most  fun  activities  throughout  the 
year  is  considered  to  be  Spirit  Week.  It  is  a  week- 
long  celebration  that  gets  students,  alumni,  and 
faculty  together  to  show  their  support  for  the 
college  and  its  teams.  This  week  has  many  steps 
in  creating  new  friendships. 

The  dress-up  days  are  the  most  unique  ways 
for  the  student  body  to  show  their  school  spirit 
and  to  support  EMCC.  The  cheerleaders  designate 
each  day  of  the  week  as  a  different  theme.  This 
year's  themes  included  camoflage  day,  Hollywood 
day,  cowboy  or  hush  day,  tacky  day,  and  spirit 
day. 

Dress-up  days  get  the  attention  of  the 
student  body.  The  cheerleaders  and  the  students 


who  are  bold  enough  to  walk  around  campus 
displaying  their  fun  and  outragous  outfits 
compete  to  decide  who  wins  the  best  dressed  for 
the  week. 

"Even  though  I  didn't  participate  in  Spirt  Week, 
I  really  enjoyed  seeing  everyone  else  dressed  up  to 
support  East  Mississippi  Community  College," 
says  sophomore  Brendan  Manders.  Everyone 
enjoys  seeing  the  people  who  are  proud  to  show 
their  pride  and  spirit  at  EMCC. 

"All  week  long  I  enjoyed  seeing  people  dressed 
up.  I  never  knew  if  I  was  going  to  run  into  G.I. 
Jane,  G.I.  Joe,  or  the  Marlboro  man,"  says 
freshman  Cierra  E wings. 

"I  love  spirit  week.  It  is  so  much  fun  to  dress 


up  each  day  and  to  show  my  school  spirit. 
Homecoming  Week  was  a  blast,"  says  sophomore 
Beth  Brownlee.  When  Martha  Stewart,  who  was 
Callie  Everett,  walked  on  campus,  everyone  put 
big  smiles  on  because  she  showed  up  in  her  jailer's 
outfit. 

Spirit  week  is  a  great  time  for  students 
because  they  actually  show  how  much  school 
spirit  they  have  bottled  up  inside  of  them.  As  long 
as  students  show  pride  in  East  Mississippi 
Community  College,  the  tradition  of  unique 
displays  of  school  spirit  will  continue  for  many 
years  to  come.

nervously  anticipate  the  parade  of  beauties  and 
beaus,  while  the  audience  awaits  for  the  curtains 
to  open  with  all  the  beautiful  and  handsome 
contestants  on  stage. 

The  faculty  members,  who  did  a  wonderful  job 
of  producing  the  progam,  included  Co-Chairs 
Robin  Fulton  and  Susan  Cumberland,  and 
Committee  Members  Linda  Bouler,  Patricia 
Calloway,  Terry  Cherry,  Brenda  DiMichele,  Rachel 
Ezelle,  Shelia  Flurry,  Larry  Gibson,  Robin  Gray, 
Marie  Gordon,  Pam  Moore,  and  Martha  Taylor. 

"I  had  a  lot  of  fun  working  on  the  pageant 
committee.  Everything  went  smoothly,  the  stage 
was  gorgeous,  and  the  pagent  contestants  were 
beautiful.  It  turned  out  to  be  a  very  wonderful 


night  all  around,"  said  Marie  Gordon. 

There  was  also  a  group  of  students  who  helped 
make  the  night  a  succcess.  These  students 
volunteered  their  time  and  effort  to  help  out 
where  they  might  be  needed.  They  worked 
backstage  with  the  curtains  and  helped  the 
contestants  before  they  went  out  on  stage. 
Others  helped  as  ushers  and  handed  out  the 
programs. 

During  the  pageant,  39  contestants  boasted 
their  evening  formal  wear  as  they  were  introduced 
to  the  judges  by  emcee  Paul  Miller.  During  the 
judging,  the  audience  was  entertained  by  the 
EMCC  Reflections,  who  sang  a  few  selections,  and 
Miss  LeAnn  Palmer,  who  also  sang  a  few  songs. 

This  year's  top  five  beauties  included  Cari 
Campbell,  Emily  Ann  Magee,  Nikki  Nipper,  Erika 


Ryals,  and  Libby  Myers.  "I  was  very  excited  to  be 
selected  in  the  top  five  beauties  because  I  didn't 
expect  it,"  said  contestant  Libby  Myers.  "I  felt 
very  honored  to  be  part  of  the  pageant  with  all  of 
those  great  girls." 

The  top  ten  beauties  also  included  Avis  Bell, 
Audra  Blackbourn,  Eve  Darnell,  Angela  Hudson, 
and  Carrie  Weaver.  "The  reason  I  entered  the 
pageant  was  because  the  girls  wanted  me  to,  and 
I  ended  up  having  a  lot  of  fun.  The  night  turned 
out  to  be  really  great,"  said  Jake  Hand. 

As  the  night  ended,  Cari  Campbell  of  Macon 
was  announced  Most  Beautiful  and  Alan 
Robertson  of  DeKalb  was  announced  Most 
Handsome.  The  night  was  a  success  thanks  to  the 
hard  work  that  everyone  put  into  it.

Homecoming...  Ste\>x>m$  b^ck  to  the  Memories 


Homecoming  is  a  time  of  celebration  and 
tradition.  One  day  a  year,  students,  friends, 
faculty,  and  alumni  come  together  to  catch  up  on 
old  times  and  honor  accomplishments. 

"It  was  very  heart  warming  to  watch  the  alumni 
reminisce  about  the  past.  I  loved  watching  them 
hug  and  laugh.  It  brought  a  big  smile  to  my 
face,"  says  sophomore  Ashley  Baty. 

The  day  started  with  alumni  events,  including 
the  induction  of  twelve  members  into  the  EMCC 
Sports  Hall  of  Fame.  Led  by  Mrs.  Brenda 
DiMichele,  Reflections  provided  entertainment  at 
the  annual  banquet  held  in  the  Keyes  Currie 
Coliseum. 


Alumnus  Bubba  Davis  stated,  "I  loved  listening 
to  the  entertainment  during  the  banquet.  It 
helped  me  to  remember  my  singing  days  in 
Scooba." 

During  half-time  ceremonies,  the  homecoming 
court  was  introduced.  All  the  girls  were  very 
pretty,  but  one  succeeded  all  the  others. 
Sophomore  Megan  Whitaker  was  crowned  Queen 
for  Homecoming  2004.  Following  the  game,  a 
reception  was  held  at  the  cafeteria  for  students, 
alumni,  and  their  guests  to  attend.  Even  after  a 
terrible  loss,  the  alumni  was  still  all  smiles.  This 
shows  how  East  Mississippi  Comminity  College  is 
a  great  step  toward  everlasting  friendships.  Even 


after  all  the  years  of  being  apart,  the  strong 
bonds  of  friendship  were  easily  seen  among 
alumni. 

Homecoming  was  sad  when  it  ended  with  the 
team  losing  to  East  Central  Community  College. 
The  day  always  gives  rise  to  new  and  old 
memories  alike.  All  the  friends  that  you  grow  to 
love  and  all  the  people  that  you  meet  will  never  be 
forgotten.  Homecoming  will  always  be 
remembered  many  years  after  you  leave  all  of 
your  friends,  and  graduates  of  EMCC  will  take 
steps  to  return  to  this  place  they  called  home  for 
two  years.

exciting  and  a  lot  of  fun.  I 
enjoyed  inflatable  fun  and 
the  dance.  The  game  was 
also  a  lot  of  fun.  The  band

Steppm5  into  the  Christmas  Spirit 


Who  has  a  beard  that's  long  and  white,  and 
comes  around  on  a  special  night?  Santa  Claus! 

Santa's  elves  greet  children  as  they  enter  the 
door,  bright  lights  gleam  from  the  stage,  and  the 
kids  cheer  to  see  Santa  -  it's  all  part  of  the  annual 
Frosty  Follies  Production.  The  EMCC  Choir  and 
Music  Theatre  Workshop  enjoy  singing  and  dancing 
to  the  songs  remembered  from  childhood  about 
favorite  Christmas  characters  such  as  Santa  and  his 
reindeer,  Rudolph,  and  Frosty  the  Snowman.  This  is 
an  exciting  production  that  gets  all  individuals, 
young  and  old  alike,  in  the  holiday  spirit. 

The  sevententh  annual  Frosty  Follies,  under  the 
direction  of  Choral  Director  Brenda  DiMichele,  was

A  Mis-Step  M  the  North  Pole 


You  might  think  Santa  Claus  has  it  easy,  but 
even  he  has  his  bad  days.  The  comedy,  "A  Rough 
Night  at  the  North  Pole,"  was  performed  by  the 
drama  department  on  Dec.  7  and  8  in  the  East 
Room  of  the  Cafeteria,  to  the  delight  of  many. 

The  play  shows  how  Santa  has  to  contend  with 
a  wife  who  serves  him  cookies  and  milk  for  every 
meal  of  his  life,  and  with  Eddie,  a  man-sized  elf  in 
training  who  continuously  hits  his  head  when  he 
goes  through  the  door,  often  steps  in  reindeer 
poo,  and  always  calls  Santa  by  the  wrong  names, 
such  as  Santa  Cruz,  and  Santa  Barbara. 

Making  the  evening  worse  is  the  appearance  of 
a  man  named  Noodle,  who  was  so  bad  as  a  child 
that  Santa  left  him  coal  in  his  stockings  -  while  he 
was  wearing  them.  In  an  effort  to  get  revenge  on 
Santa,  Noodle,  along  with  sidekick,  Missy,  trek  to 


the  North  Pole  to  slip  a  watch  on  Santa  while  he's 
sleeping  and  then  frame  him  for  stealing  the 
watch.  Sheriff  Clink,  who  never  has  problems  with 
law  breakers  at  the  North  Pole,  sets  out  with 
Noodle  and  Missy  to  arrest  Santa  Claus.  While 
Santa  is  in  jail,  Noodle  plans  to  dress  as  Santa  and 
deliver  coal  to  all  the  children  in  the  world. 

Santa,  after  spending  some  time  being  in  jail, 
decides  he  has  too  much  to  do,  and  leaves.  With 
two  Santas  wandering  the  Claus  home,  mayhem 
and  confusion  ensue. 

The  cast  included  Casey  Barnes  as  Santa,  Toni

Wednesday  night  at  the  United  Methodist 
Church.  The  students  meet  to  pray,  study  the 
Bible,  and  fellowship  with  each  other.  The 
members  also  enjoy  lunch  and  special  guest 
speakers  at  their  Monday  meetings. 

"SCF  is  the  greatest  experience  for  me,"  said 
Nicholas  Evans.  "It  has  different  denominations 
joining  together  to  fellowship  as  one  big  group." 

The  sponsors  feel  that  by  combining  the 


denominations,  it  will  help  all  students  come 
together  with  one  main  goal  in  mind,  and  that  is 
praising  God's  holy  name. 

When  asked  what  their  favorite  part  of  SCF  was,

academic  courses  and  being  in  good  standing  with 
the  college. 

This  organization  also  provides  many  future

determination  and  motivation  to  successfully 
complete  their  goals. 

PTK  is  planning  and  accomplishing  a  lot  of 
projects  for  the  upcoming  year.  Some  of  the  Eta

Forestry...  Stepping  into  the  Woods 


Since  the  beginning  of  the  school  year,  the 
forestry  club  has  stepped  up  and  helped  out 
whenever  they've  been  needed. 

Several  of  the  15  freshman  forestry  students 
were  introduced  to  the  busy  but  enjoyable  work 
of  running  the  concession  stand  at  the  first  home 
football  game.  Forestry  students  always  help  with 
concession  sales  and  grilling  hamburgers  for  the 
game. 

The  students  have  also  been  busy  attending 
off-campus  labs  and  mill  tours  to  help  introduce 
them  to  different  industries  within  the  forestry 


field.  The  Forest  Products  class  tours  many 
sawmills  throughout  the  semester,  including 
Barge  Forest  Products  in  Macon,  Midsouth 
Lumber  Inc.  in  Meridian,  Hunt  Forest  Products, 
and  the  Red  Hills  Mining  Co.  in  Ackerman. 

Forestry  instructors,  Andrew  Couch  and  Bob 
Walker,  are  the  advisers  of  the  club.  They  keep 
their  members  active  with  the  college  and  with 
their  future  careers.  Bob  Walker  said  that  the 
Forestry  Club  is  involved  with  the  Adopt-A- 
Highway  Program.  Highway  16  on  the  south  side 
of  campus  is  the  club's  adopted  highway. 


The  project  the  club  takes  the  most  pride  in  is 
the  fundraisers  for  the  Chapel  in  the  Pines.  Last 
year,  the  club  donated  $1,000  to  the  EMCC 
Development  Foundation  to  be  earmarked  for 
the  Chapel  building  project,  and  they  did  so  again 
this  year.  Throughout  the  semester  the  Forestry 
Club  helps  in  the  planning,  cooking,  and  the 
costs  of  the  meals  for  the  chapel  fundraising 
projects.  It's  clear  that  the  members  of  the 
Forestry  club  are  taking  steps  toward  success.

T'fie  Lions  Tride  War  china  'Band 


The  Lion's  Pride  Band  is  continuing  to  grow.  The 
band  is  ready  for  another  year  of  hard  work, 
dedication,  and  music.  The  band  plays  enthusiastic 
and  up  beat  music  that  keeps  the  crowd  cheering. 

"I  am  truly  enjoying  being  in  the  band  this  year," 
said  flutist  Heather  Fuller.  "I've  made  a  lot  of 
friends  and  experienced  college  band." 

The  band  adds  so  much  to  the  spirit  of  the  game. 
The  band  continues  to  entertain  throughout  the 
year  by  performing  as  part  of  the  Pine  Grove 
Festival  in  the  spring.  Marocko  Robinson  on  the 


drums  said,  "Band  is  a  wonderful  experience." 
The  band  is  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Robin 

Gray. 
"There  are  only  10  members  from  last  year,  so 

75%  of  the  band  is  brand  new,"  said  Gray.  "They 

are  making  good  progress.  Our  half  time  show  will 

consist  of  classic  television  shows." 
The  band  loves  to  play  for  the  crowd.  Nicholas 

Evans,  on  brass,  said,  "I  feel  that  the  band  will  do 

amazing  things  because  we  are  under  a  good  band 

director." 


Music  is  their  passion,  and  it's  obvious  when  they 
are  out  on  the  field  performing.  Being  a  member 
of  the  band  is  like  being  a  part  of  a  family.  Because 
of  their  lengthy  practices,  these  students  get  to 
know  each  other  very  well,  and  they  share  a 
common  interest. 

Kenneth  Rush  said,  "Band  has  truly  been  a  great 
experience  to  me  because  I  am  learning  to  read 
music  and  that  is  something  people  cannot  take 
away  from  me."  Now  that's  a  beat  in  the  right 
direction.  -Christy  Poe

just  prouiding  water  for  the  plagers. 
Student  trainers  haue  to  get  up  earlg 
euerg  morning  to  work  before  class, 
sometimes  in  between  classes,  and 
after  class.  It  reallg  takes  a  special 
person  to  be  able  to  do  that  all  the  time. 
Theg  share  all  the  work  and  diuide 
duties  equally, 

"Training  at  EMCC  has  prepared  me  for 
the  future  job  I  plan  to  obtain,"  said 
sports  medicine  major  Hshleg  Holcombe. 

"I'ue  reallg  enjoged  being  a  student 
trainer.  It  has  reallg  prepared  me  for 
what  I  plan  to  do  in  the  future,"  said 
Carlos  Daniels. 

UJith  their  knowledge  and  desire,  the 
EMCC  trainers  will  bring  plagers  back 
from  injury  with  euerg  single  step  theg 
take.  -  Nikki  Mason

Bottom,  Ashley  George  gives  it  all  she's  got  as  she  cheers  the  Lions 
to  victory. 


"It  is  such  an  honor 
to  be  the  EMCC 
cheerleading  captain 
this  year.  I  feel  that 
I'ue  really  made  a 
difference  in  the 
squad." 


"I  really  enjoyed  my 
turn  years  at  EMCC 
being  the  Lion 
Mascot.  It  makes  me 
feel  great  to  know  I 
can  get  other  people 
pumped  for  the 
game. 


"Cheerleading  was 
great  this  gear.  I  got 
really  close  to  all  the 
girls  and  made 
memorable 
friendships.  Rir  outs 
were  alwags  fun  too. 


When  gou  think  of  cheerleading,  gou  think  of  loud,  bubblg, 
smiling,  crowd  pumping  girls  for  football,  basketball,  and  other 
sporting  euents. 

But  actually  cheerleading  is  more  than  just  tumbling,  gelling, 
stunting,  chanting  and  cheering.  It's  about  leading  the  student 
bodg  and  the  fans  of  EMCC  to  uictorg.  Cheerleading  is  more  than 
just  what  the  auerage  person  would  think.  It's  about  leading, 
and  setting  an  example  for  the  rest  of  the  student  body  and 
young  girls  euergwhere  who  dream  of  one  day  becoming  a 
cheerleader. 

EMCC  has  picked  14  girls  to  lead  their  school  not  only  at  games 
but  in  euergdag  actiuities.  Theg  all  haue  the  status  of  a 
cheerleader,  so  theg  know  they  haue  to  lead  on  and  off  the  field 
in  and  out  of  uniform.  They  know  when  they  put  the  uniform  on 
they  are  the  pride  of  EMCC,  so  theg  hue  up  to  what  they  are 
known  to  be. 

The  captain  this  year  is  Jodi  Darnell.  She  is  a  true  leader,  with 
or  without  her  poms  in  hand.  She  not  only  leads  them  on  the 
field,  but  she  is  there  for  them  off  the  field,  too.  In  eueryone's 
mind,  that's  what  a  real  captain  is  supposed  to  do. 

Being  a  cheerleader  is  a  tough  job,  but  someone  has  to  do  it. 
For  euerg  single  step  we  make,  theg'll  be  cheering  us  on  along 
the  wag.

The  EMCC  Lady  Lions  introduce  two 
new  coaches  to  the  team  this  season, 
head  coach  Lisa  English  and  assistant 
coach  Kim  Bishop. 

Coach  English  comes  from  a  long 
background  of  coaching  at  uarious 
high  schools  and  colleges  around 
Mississippi.  Coach  Bishop  has  played 
soccer  for  a  portion  of  her  life  and  is 
willing  to  share  what  she  knows  with 
the  team. 

The  team  will  be  led  by  three 
sophomore  captains:  goalkeepers 
Layla  Rshtiyany  and  Taylor  Milling,  and 
defender  Allison  Morgan.  Other 
sophomores  include  Libbg  Denneg, 
Nicky  Truman,  and  Charly  Speed. 
Rlthough  the  returning  players  haue  a 
lot  of  skill,  there  is  always  room  for 
extra  talent.  Coach  Enylish  thought  of 
that  when  she  brought  in  nine  new 
talented  freshmen  from  all  ouer  the 
state.  They  are  Jeana  Richardson, 
Nikki  Mason,  Uonnie  Formel,  Jana

The  entire  team  hopes  for  the  best 
and  they're  working  harder  and  harder

to  the  call  by  working  harder,  getting  in 
shape,  and  winning  some  games. 

UJith  the  help  of  the  coaches  and  the 
support  of  each  other  and  the  student 
body  of  EMCC,  the  Ladies  will  giue 
eueryone  a  season  to  remember.  "LUe're

This  year's  season  is  Coach  Baldner's  20th  as  head  coach.  To 
commemorate  Coach  Baldner's  20th  season,  a  reunion  was  arranged 
to  bring  back  players  from  teams  from  1986  to  2004.  Fifty  players 
came  to  the  reunion  and  participated  in  an  alumni  game  that  was 
diuided  up  so  that  the  alums  got  the  opportunity  to  play  with  their 
old  teammates.  This  successful  reunion  is  a  real  testament  of  how 
they  haue  loue  for  EMCC  as  well  as  the  baseball  program.  Along  with 
Coach  Baldner  on  the  coaching  staff  is  Rssistant  Coach  Tong 
Montgomery  who  is  in  his  seuenth  gear  here  at  EMCC. 

Rfter  a  successful  run  at  the  end  of  last  season  and  in  the  Region  23 
Regional  Tournament,  Coach  Baldner  and  the  East  Mississippi 
Communitg  College  Lions  are  looking  forward  to  this  gear's  baseball 
season.  Coach  Baldner  sags  he  expects  this  team  to  "compete  each 
and  euerg  inning."  Baldner  adds,  "This  gear's  team  is  a  hard  working, 
blue  collar  tgpe  team  that  plags  hard  euerg  game.  Teams  do  not  like 
to  plag  us  in  a  big  game  setting."  Buring  the  fall  season  the  team 
trained  hard  with  weight  lifting,  running,  intersquad  scrimmages, 
practice,  and  games  with  other  colleges  to  prepare  for  the  spring 
season. 

Many  sophomores  are  gone  from  last  season  but  a  few  of  the 
returning  key  players  for  this  season  are  Tyler  Maxwell,  Nathan 
Mordecs  don  Mabry,  Lance  Burnham,  Robert  Tucker,  Blake 

Pippin,  Crss  ps  and  catcher  Justin  Faulkner,  who  was  all  North 

State  and  R88  ?3  last  season.  UJith  these  key  players,  the  new 

freshmen,  and  e         leneed  coaching,  the  EMCC  Lions  Baseball  team  is 
looking  to  take  a  big  lead  in  the  right  direction.

"I'ue  really  enjoyed

really  good.  I  look

me  because  I  got  to 
stag  close  to  home, 
and  I'ue  learned  a  lot 
and  enjoyed  playing 
baseball  for  Coach 
Baldner."

years  at  EMCC."

The  EMCC  golf  team  has  a  whole  new 
look  for  the  2004-2005  season.  Rlong 
with  new  head  coach,  John  Carr,  the 
team  has  all  new  faces  as  seuen  new 
freshmen  plagers  make  up  the  team. 

Golf  is  a  tedious  sport  which 
requires  good  judgement,  hand-eye 
coordination,  and  most  of  all  a 
positiue  attitude.  Euen  though  the 
Lions  golf  team  struggled  last  season, 
Coach  Carr  sags,  "We  are  looking 
forward  to  the  season,  and  we  are 
excited  about  our  first  match.  LUe  will 
use  that  as  a  measuring  stick  of 
where  we  are  and  where  we  need  to 
get.' 

Although  this  is  Coach  Carr's  first 
gear  of  coaching  junior  college  golf, 
he  has  four  years'  experience  of 
coaching  golf  at  the  high  school  leuel. 
He  says  he  expects  this  youny  team  to 
"try  to  improue  as  the  season  yoes 
alony  and  to  represent  EMCC  with 
class."

Josh  McMullan  adds,  "I  am  excited  to 
start  playiny  against  the  new 
competition  and  the  different  leuel  of 
talent  that  junior  college  golf  brings." 

LLlith  all  the  new  team  members  and 
new  coach,  the  Lions  Golf  Team  is 
hoping  to  take  a  step  forward  in  the 
winning  direction  this  2004-2005 
season. 

"This  gear  I  expect  the  team  to  be

The  70th  volume  of  the 
Lion  was  published  by  stu- 
dents at  EMCC,  P.O.  Box 
158,  Scooba,  MS  39358. 

The  yearbook  was  printed 
by  Herff  Jones  in

the  college  and  its  students  are 
evolving  with  each  change  -  or 
!  step  -  it  takes.

A  Step  into  my  Thoughts: 

I  never  would  have  dreamed  when  I  chose  to  attend  EMCC  that  I  would  be  chosen  the  editor  of  the  2004  Lion  Yearbook.  However,  since 
mo  steps  brought  me  to  this  position  I  can  honestly  say  that  it  has  been  an  experience  I  will  never  forget.  Putting  a  yearbook 
together  is  not  easy.  A  theme  must  be  chosen,  layouts  must  be  designed,  stories  must  be  written,  pictures  must  be  taken,  everything 
must  be  edited,  and  deadlines  must  be  met. 

None  of  this  would  have  been  possible  without  an  exceptional  advisor  and  a  great  staff.  I  was  blessed  with  both,  and  it  has  been  a 
privilege  for  me  to  work  with  them.  Our  advisor,  Mrs.  Atwood,  is  a  wonderful  person  that  I  have  a  lot  of  respect  for  and  really  admire. 
She  has  so  much  patience  with  the  staff,  and  is  always  so  calm  when  I  get  "antsy"  about  deadlines.  She  is  someone  that  I  will  always 
remember,  and  I  know  that  I  will  look  back  on  her  as  a  friendship  made  at  EMCC.  While  we  had  a  lot  of  new  faces  on  the  staff  this  \fear 
and  they,  as  well  as  I,  had  a  lot  to  learn,  this  yearbook  would  not  have  been  possible  without  them.  I  would  like  to  thank  each  of  them 
from  the  bottom  of  my  heart  for  their  hard  work  and  dedication  to  this  publication.  Thanks  Mrs.  Atwood,  Jodi,  libby,  Beth,  Jeri,  Nikki, 
Christy.  Katy.  Monika.  j.K..  and  Holt.  We  have  had  "little  disagreements."  stressful  deadlines,  and  a  lot  of  laughs  we  have  been 
through  it  all  together,  but  I  am  proud  of  our  finished  product  and  feel  that  this  is  one  of  the  best  yearbooks  EMCC  has  ever  seen. 

On  a  personal  note,  I  have  made  many  memories  here  at  EMCC.  I  feel  that  the  classes  I  have  taken  here  have  truly  prepared  me  for 
the  degree  I  am  seeking  in  Forensic  Chemistry.  I  have  the  faculty  and  administrative  staff  to  thank  for  that.  Thank  you  all  for  the 
endless  opportunities,  countless  friendships,  wonderful  memories,  and  the  position  as  editor  of  the  2004  yearbook.  It  has  been  a 
privilege,  god  bless  you  alL  I  hope  that  you  will  use  this  yearbook  years  down  the  road  to  help  you  recall  the  memories  that  you 
made  here  with  ^m^  single  step. 

"In  his  heart  a  man  plans  his  course,  but  the  Lord  determines  his  steps."
