Thank YOU! for your response to our request for help in identifying football players from the 1980's. We now need help locating athletes. If you have the time or can help find athletes, email me at robert.landrum@jcjc.edu or call the office at 601-477-4145. P.S. It was great seeing so many people at Homecoming!
Sincerely,
Robert ('67) and Jennie Landrum

Remember When...
in 1960 when a "Golden Anniversary Homecoming" was held in honor of the 50th year the school opened its doors? A "Block Seating Plan" for alumni was arranged in the football stands allowing former students to sit together in sections. |
