The fall of the 1968 school year at Jefferson Davis saw the addition of a new vocational-technical complex on the northwest corner of the campus. The facilities housed in this complex en com passed the fields of radio broadcasting, practical nursing, carpentry, masonry, woodworking, shipbuilding, refriger ation, and air conditioning, sheet metal work, welding, automotive mechanics, and pipe fitting. This new facility, under the leader ship of Mr. Charlie Scotfield, proved successful in all areas of its endeavor. With the co-operation of various high schools throughout the area, the center guided young men interested in voca donal or technical careers. We at Jefferson Davis were proud of the vo-tech's many accomplishments this year, and may look forward to a future growth from this most important college facility. Among the many activities at the complex were carpentry and bricklaying. February 23, 1969, saw the formal dedication of the vocational-technical complex on the jefferson Davis campw. 146 The jefferson Davis radio broadcasting station, under the direction of Mr. Doug Hendon, was the center of the popular WjDC. The students in this area attained practical experience by serving as campus disc jockeys. The Jist of D]' s included Nunzio Carrubba, Bill Van Alstyne, Guy Alread, Travis Boone, jane Thcker, Paul Ray Rev iere, Bob Tallent, john Rhodes, and David Lord. Other students in the radio department who were not pro grammers were Bill Lott, Bill Stinski, Aree Caviness, David Sheffield, and Gordy Higdon. W]DC was operated on a closed circuit on campus, affiliated with American Broadcasting Company through the courtesy of WGCM Radio of Gulfport. Vocational-technical director, Mr. Charlie Scofield, led the vo-tech center in a year of resounding success.
