Mississippi State students stroll to class on the periphery of the historic Drill Field Tuesday while the U.S. flag flies at half staff to mark the university's observance of the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. One of the worst natural disasters in American history, the storm devastated the Mississippi Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005.
