Freshman named as Northwest's 'Most Beautiful'
By: Staff Report
Northwest Mississippi Community College freshman Haley White of Senatobia was named “Most Beautiful” at Northwest’s annual Beauty Review on Nov. 17. The 18-year-old Cosmetology major is the daughter of Wesley White and Margie Casey. White was one of 38 contestants vying for the title.
White is no stranger to pageants. She competed in her first pageant at the age of four and again her senior year at Senatobia High School.
She entered the Northwest Beauty Review because she thought it would be “a fun experience and a great addition to my many college memories.
I was shocked when my name was announced. I was shaking so bad I thought I was going to fall of the stage. I am extremely overjoyed and honored.” Full story
Grammy Award-winning blues artist performs for English Comp II class

Mississippi has contributed to the world, particularly the blues.
Two years ago, Bunce asked Dr. Ken Sipley, director of the Fine Arts Division, to join the project and make it a collaborated effort. Students with both teachers would receive grades in both classes for completing the project. This combination seems like an unlikely pair, but the mixture of music and compiling a research paper compliment each other.
Alison Heafner, a student from Batesville, chose to research Charlie Patton after hearing about him from Mathus. Heafner and Mathus met in 2007 and have even performed together on a couple of occasions; she performed “Honky Tonk Woman” by the Rolling Stones on Wednesday during class, while Mathus accompanied on the guitar.
Mathus is a Grammy Award-winning singer/song writer, who was born in Clarksdale and currently resides in Como. At age 6 he started playing the mandolin and at 13 he decided to make music his career. He is a music lover and a blues enthusiast, and especially loves any music that comes from Mississippi. Full story
