President Roy ' s Message To the Student Body Dear Friends: As I sit down to write this parting message to the boys and girls constitu ' ing the present day family of the State Normal College, I am consicicus of one motive that has actuated me throughout my career as President of Louisiana State Normal College, and that motive has been the desire to make out of each one of you boys and girls the best possible man or woman that you could become. I realize how short I have fallen in this ambition, and how many errors I have made; but my shortcomings, I believe I can truthfully say, have been of the head and not of the heart, of the flesh and not of the spirit. When you shall have passed from the campus of the State Normal College into the field of action of life, may you continue to be imbued with a noble ambition and sublime aspirations. Let nothing but the highest goal be your aim in whatever may ultimately be your chosen career. Like the Winds of the Sea Are the Ways of Fate, As We Journey Along Through Life. It ' s the Set of the Soul That Determines the Coal, And Not the Calm Nor the Strife. Sincerely, V. L. Roy

Dean of Women ' s Message The length of my services as Dean of Women at Louisiana State Normal College has been such that I have had the opportunity to see girls enter the College as freshmen and graduate as seniors fulfilling, in their later years of College my highest hopes. This has been a great satisfaction. A great happiness for me has been the beautiful friend- ships I have made with the students from year to year. A recent pleasure has been the work that I have had a part in, that of at- tempting to secure a closer contact between the College and the parents of our students, particularly the freshmen; for it is certain that the College will have a greater opportunity for service, if its functions and ideals are understood by those whom it serves.
