Lindsey-Claire Underwood
Muse won the title of Miss
Hinds Community College
2012 at the Feb. 2 pageant.
“Winning the title of Miss
Hinds is absolutely amazing,”
Muse, 19, of Raymond, said
shortly after the pageant. “I
feel blessed, thrilled and happy
all at the same time.”
As Miss Hinds, Muse
will be a participant in the
Miss Mississippi pageant
over the summer. She is
the granddaughter of Hinds
President Dr. Clyde Muse.
The Miss Hinds Pageant
was full of events, including
the evening wear, the lifestyle
and fitness in a swimsuit
categories and the talent
competition as well as a
farewell from Miss Hinds
2011 Taylor Berry.
As pageant participants got
ready for each competition,
the audience had great talent to
keep them entertained. Hinds’
very own Hi-Steppers as well
as musical talent from April
Davis and Keith Bouchillon
were a huge hit with the
audience.
The pageant was “really
enjoyable with the great talent
and very enthusiastic girls,”
said Doug Strong, 21, of Utica,
a student on the Raymond
Campus who attended the
pageant. “It is sad that there
could only be one winner.”
Although there was a small
number of pageant participants
the decision was hard for
judges.
“I think this has been a
great pageant,” Muse said.
“The girls were very well
prepared and the competition
was tough.”
In addition to the Miss
Hinds winner, participants
included Tabitha Mizell,
Bridget Byrd and Jordan
Fisher, who was named first
runner-up.
At the end of the night, only
one winner could be crowned
Miss Hinds.
“I was honored to serve
my year as Miss Hinds. It
was an honor as well to pass
the crown down to LindseyClaire. The judges made an
excellent decision,” said Miss
Hinds 2011Taylor Berry, 19,
of Brandon and a student on
the Raymond Campus.
Rankin student has ‘no excuses’ mindset
Booker
Editor’s Note: The following story was
written by Susan Christensen with Methodist
Rehabilitation Center’s Health and Research
News Service.
The first time Adam Booker went to college,
he mostly majored in having fun.
“I thought I was doing good by just getting up
and going to class,” he said. “I’d roll out of bed,
put on sweatpants, brush my teeth and just make
it out the door. It was easy.”
Now, it takes 30 minutes and the help of a
certified nurse’s aide to ready Booker for classes
at Hinds Community College’s Rankin Campus .
Yet the 25-year-old quadriplegic is a better student
than he ever was as an able-bodied 18-year-old.
“You know what they say … you don’t
appreciate something until you’ve lost the
opportunity,” said Booker, who was paralyzed
from the neck down in a 2006 car crash. “Then, I
was not holding myself to the standard I am now.”
Today, Booker has a 4.0 average after
completing 31 hours of course work. And that
impresses instructors like Hamilton Wise,
chairman of the biology department at Hinds’
Rankin County campus and Booker’s instructor
for Anatomy and Physiology.
“I got a charge out of him being here, working
to make something of himself despite the
setbacks he has had,” Wise said. “He’s a very
good student, one of only two in that A&P section
to have an A. It is extremely difficult for him to
do anything. Yet he isn’t at all inclined to be part
of a pity party.”
The good-natured nagging from two nurses at
the Specialty Care Center in Flowood where he
now lives pushed Booker to explore his options,
and he started at the nearby Rankin campus the
spring 2011 semester. “The teachers have been
very receptive and accommodating,” he said.
While Methodist has experts who can assist
with the adaptive computing needs of center
residents, the already tech-savvy Booker didn’t
require much help. As he reads, he uses a mouth
stick to flip pages. And when papers are due, he
relies on software to translate speech into text.
In class, he turns to personal aide Mary Boyd
of Madison to take notes and write his answers
during tests. “Basically, I’m his arms,” Boyd said.
And if the truth be known, he has stolen her heart
as well. “I adore the guy,” she said. “He really
enjoys what he is learning. He wants to be a
psychologist, and I think he has a calling for it.”
Now that he has a few semesters under his belt,
Booker said he is beginning to feel more accepted.
And he looks forward to the interaction in his
current psychology course. “The professor has
gotten everyone involved by asking us questions.
And I think this might be my first chance to open
up to people. They’ll finally hear my story,” he
said.
Until then, the Cliff’s Notes version is inked on
Booker’s left forearm. His tattoo says: Positivity
will overcome adversity.

Raymond RHAs take top honors at conference
By Christi Reynolds
[email protected]
The Raymond Campus Residence
Hall Association took home a number
of awards at an annual state conference
in February.
A number of students and advisers
attended the combined conference for
two groups, the Mississippi Association
for Residence Hall Students (MARHS)
and Resident Assistant Drive in of
Mississippi (RADCoM)
“This conference allows the
participating students to gain better
knowledge of RHA and RA aspects as
well as getting an idea of how other
schools run,” said Alma Scott, RHA
adviser and Marshall Hall hall director.
Prior to attending the Mississippi
Residents Engage in Active Leadership
conference, called MREAL, RHA
students worked together as a group
for several weeks making Valentine’s
Day cards and coming up with chants
to prove their Hinds spirit. These
students arrived on the University
of Mississippi campus with a lot of
energy.

Hinds took a number of awards at the conference, including Mr.
MREAL, Damien Duren, and Miss MREAL, Ebony Andrews.
“From 4:30 that morning until we
got back at almost 11 that night, our
crunk level stayed at 100 percent,”
said Darren Shavers, Raymond RHA
president. “This resulted in our many
achievements.”
Although Hinds was the only
community college in attendance, the
college’s RHA made itself known and
kicked off the morning with a few
chants.
At MREAL, RHA advisers Tracy
Paul, Ernest Dixon and Alma Scott
worked with a few of the RHA members
to put on a program titled Century
Club D’ House. The program
consisted of non-alcoholic drinks
in a club setting with student
Ebony Andrews acting as if she
was drinking too much to prove
what can happen when you are not
careful.
“I thought the conference and
customer service was awesome,”
said Ebony Andrews, an RA for
Hardy Hall on the Raymond
Campus.

the importance of community service and
the development of leadership qualities.
In addition, questions were answered
concerning scholarship possibilities
and group activities, such as Relay for
Life and Habitat for Humanity, two
organizations actively supported by our
chapter.

Rankin PTK educates
local community on
health issues
As a part of the Five Star Honors Project, the
Alpha Omicron Omega Chapter of Phi Theta
Kappa on the Rankin Campus recently delivered
a health and awareness presentation to a group of
church members in Rankin County.
The objective was to raise awareness about the
growing problem of hypertension (high blood
pressure) within our communities.
With the help of Crossgates River Oaks
Hospital and the American Heart Association,
efforts are being made to educate our citizens on
the potential for serious health issues related to
hypertension.
“It’s important that we get the information out
there so people can understand the seriousness of
the problem,” said Terry Wages, Alpha Omicron
Omega vice president of public relations.
With programs like this, we can expect to see
changes toward healthier lifestyles and hopefully
curb the continued increase in hypertension in our
communities.

SPORTS
Academics stressed on baseball team
By Court Truelock
[email protected]
The Hinds baseball team shows up, both on and off the field.
The baseball team, which annually carries a 3.0 or better team
GPA each semester, has done exceptionally well in the classroom
over the years. The team is required to maintain at least a 2.0 grade
point average and carry at least 15 hours per semester.
“The players are given a sheet at the beginning of every semester
that they must give to their teachers,” said assistant baseball coach
Dan Rives.
The purpose for having that sheet is so teachers will know exactly
which students play baseball, he said.
“It helps that the coaches require us to check in with our teachers.
It helps you stay out of trouble. When teachers know that you play
baseball, they tend to hold you to a higher standard,” said sophomore
third baseman Ryno Martin-nez.
The team members turn a grade report sheet into the coaches once
a month. The grade report sheet records not only players’ grades, but
also records their absences.
“We do not allow our players to miss class so that they do not fall
behind, because there are a handful of times that we must miss a
class or two due to games,” Rives said.
Freshman Hunter Duvic said the policy is a good idea.
“You are a student athlete. It doesn’t matter how good you are,
if you don’t have the grades you won’t be able to play anyway,” he
said.

Hinds Community College
has a golf course on campus
that is open to the public but is
also the home of the Eagles golf
team.
Eagle Ridge Golf Course
is located on the other side of
Highway 18, across from the
Raymond Campus.
“Having a golf course on
campus is really convenient
because we don’t have to make
a trip every day to practice
like other teams,” said Scott
Sherman, a freshman on the golf
team. It also “leaves no room
for excuses for not practicing
every day,” he said.
There are definitely many
advantages of having a golf
course on campus, members of
the team say.
“Getting more practice on a
course that holds tournaments
gives us a better feel for the
course,” said sophomore David
Shaw.
Eagle Ridge holds quite a few
tournaments, which gives the
team the upper hand. “Maybe
the biggest advantage of Eagle
Ridge being on campus is us
being able to practice outside
of set practice days,” said Lucas
Adams, a sophomore on the
golf team.
The challenging 18-hole
golf course is one of the nicest
courses throughout the metro,
and one of the most challenging
courses in the state.
“With smaller greens it
requires more precise iron shots,
but with its wide open spaces it
allows you to be less strategic
with your tee shots,” Shaw said.
Adams agreed. “The course
is definitely a challenge. The
course is tight but if you find
the fairway you are fine.”

With sunny days here, it’s time for spring looks
By Gabrielle Woodard
[email protected]
With warm weather here ahead of schedule,
it’s already tinme to think about light, flowy
clothes
“Consumers look to spring for renewed
energy, optimism and the promise of a brighter
day,” says Latrice Eiseman, executive director
of the Pantone Color Institute.
Speaking of color, pastels such as mint green,
lavender, sky blue and especially pale yellow are
going to be prevalent this upcoming season. If
wild, look-at-me hues aren’t your thing, worry
not: New York Fashion Week’s most esteemed
designers have got your back (and your front;
and your legs…you get the picture). Spring’s
sweet sorbet shades and pastel hues give off a
low-key, ladylike vibe. Also, don’t be afraid of
wearing all white, or white accented with bold
lines.
Just before New York Fashion Week kicked
off, Pantone Institute shared its prediction for
the most popular colors of spring 2012. The
prediction was spot-on: The pick for spring’s
numero uno shade, Tangerine Tango, was all
over the runways. And if tangerine isn’t your
citrus of choice, there are plenty more orange
hues to choose from. Wear one color and look
chic? How easy is that!
Cheerful color blocking is back! Spring
runways were more colorful than the crowd at
a Lady Gaga concert. Bold, solid-color pieces—
like a cardigan and skirt, wrap dress or demure
one-piece suit—make simple dressing look
glam. Our style tip: Stick to three colors max to
avoid the girly, Rainbow Brite look.
There are prints, and then there are PRINTS.
All caps are necessary to describe the vibrant,
swirling, styled-head-to-toe patterns that
sashayed down the spring 2012 runways.
As far as fabrics go, large, feminine lace
as featured in the Louis Vuitton spring 2012
collection is going to be a must. Floral prints as
well as bold, graphic prints are going to make
a statement this spring. Keeping in touch with
the large print trend, printed jumpsuits are going
to make a mark on fashion during the warmer
‘A Few Good Men’ Lendon Players’ new production
By Kendra Conley
[email protected]
Show time! The Hinds Community College Lendon Players are
currently at work putting together their spring production.
This semester, the talented actors of HCC will be putting
on Aaron Sorkin’s play turned Hollywood Blockbuster hit “A
Few Good Men.” This courtroom drama depicts the trial of two
U.S Marines who have been charged with the murder of a fellow
soldier. It follows not only their struggles, but it also revolves
around their lawyer and the difficulties he has to face.
“I’ve always liked the movie,” said Alison Stafford, Lendon
Players director and theatre instructor. ”My dad was a Marine, and
he actually had a commanding officer who was an adviser to the
original movie.”
The movie’s most famous line: “You can’t handle the truth!”
spoken by Jack Nicholson who played Lt. Col. Nathan Jessup.
Stafford also said this is the “largest cast I’ve has ever had since
I’ve been here.” The play originally calls for 14 males and only
one female, but the gender for some of the roles has been switched
for the Hinds production.
Jerianna Shaw, a Pearl native and freshman at Hinds CC in
Raymond, who will be portraying the prosecuting lawyer in the
play, tells about her excitement of taking on a male role.
“I play a man!” Shaw laughs. “I normally play the goofy
character in productions, but I like that I get to play a character
that is meaty and more serious.”
While this young lady is anxious to prove herself worthy
of a man’s role, some of the guys are getting caught up in the
excitement of such a dramatic play as well.
“It’s such a different take on a play,” said Colby Faulkner, also a
Pearl native and first-year student at Hinds in Raymond. “It’s great
because this semester’s play is so serious, whereas last semester
was more about comedy.”
The Hinds Drama Department is scheduled to perform “A Few
Good Men” during April 10-13.

weather. Jumpsuits are an easy way to throw on a
garment and instantly have a stand out ensemble.
All you need is a floppy hat and wedge shoes,
and you’re ready for a fresh springtime look!
Don’t forget about the “three hot beauty
trends” to look forward to in 2012. Look into
my crystal ball—I’m about to tell you what three
trends we have coming up in 2012 that I think
you guys are going to be really excited about.
Behold:
• Trend 1: Super-bright nails! Vivid!
Eye-catching! Fun! Exclamation-pointy!!!! And
great because you can just pick a hue that looks
good on you, as long as it’s bright.
• Trend 2: Bouncy ponytails. Oh, so bouncy.
It’s all about volume, so make sure to have your
teasing comb handy!
• Trend 3: Shocking lipstick. I’m sure the real
trend will be way more wearable than this, but
it sure makes for a pretty picture. Expect to see
this in both matte and glossy finishes.
Which of these trends are you most looking
forward to?

Nursing students get chance
for service in Guatemala
Two Hinds instructors and six
pre-nursing and nursing students went
to Guatemala City, Guatemala, over
Thanksgiving break to participate in the
Transcultural Health Studies course.
Hinds received a Harris Wofford Global
Service Fellowship that paid for much of
the trip.
The students, ranging in expertise, were
placed along with their instructors in three
separate clinical sites. The services they
performed included providing emotional
support and an extra set of hands,
admitting patients, monitoring their blood
pressure and weighing them, administering
breathing treatments for children and
injection of vaccines.
“Guatemala is one of the friendliest, but
poorest countries I have had the opportunity
to visit,” said Jackson Campus-Nursing/
Allied Health Center nursing instructor
Cynthia Casey, who along with instructor
Linda Banks supervised the sudents.
“Students and faculty gained a better
appreciation for what we have in the United
States, which was important because it was
over the Thanksgiving holidays. Learning
about and experiencing another culture is
not only educational but enlightening. A
smile is universal.”
Hinds instructors and students were
asked to share more details of their
experience at the Feb. 24-27 Community
Colleges for International Development
conference in New Orleans, also attended
by Hinds President Dr. Clyde Muse and
Theresa Hamilton, vice president for the
Raymond Campus and NAHC.
