L a R Charles Barnes, Editor Lillian Keener, Associate Editor The editors of your 1939 La Rciiic, having traditionally made the Gold and Black office their headquarters and thereby having gained the spirit of the press, have tried to make this edition of your yearbook a true student publication. Even though they realize that all La Revues are handed down heavily to posterity, the editors have inserted a light note as their theme this year. From page to page they show you how they ' d take a freshman through Birmingham- Southern. And don ' t scorn this young man if he ' s just a bit on the green side. Once you were probably as he is now.

Co-Ed Council Governmeiit Lillion Keener was assisted in her work on the Co-Ed Council bv Bettv Hasty, vice-president, Mary Margaret Price, secretary, and Margaret Hubbard, treasurer. Other members included Anna Louise Beatty, Ann Hale, Josephine Harris, Elizabeth Patton, Betsy Royce, and Virginia Van der Veer. This or- ganization, as in the past, showed its willingness for cooperation in any student enterprise, and, knowing the effort that was expended to make the May Dav Celebration a success, they deserve the utmost credit for being a hard-working group. It was definitely a year of adjustment in student affairs and student gov- ernment. The new Committee on Student Life, composed of several facultv members and two student members, found opposition from some quarters, but managed to make itself one of the foremost organizations concerned with stu- dent affairs and student organizations. Delving into fraternities and sorori- ties, the general campus setup of honorary organizations and other societies, and particularly with the extra-curricular activity credit, the Committee had as its goal more active student participation in the various organizations. By its recommendations extra-curricular credit will be eliminated and the number of hours necessary for graduation reduced. Organizations showed a renewed vit.il- ity, and a Student Night in the student center proved a tremendous success.

t rT-7 V HS-J ' V V u e . Bill Whetstone Business Mainigcr Assistant Editors Gordon Atkeison E. L. Holland Virginia Blair Beginning by having the annual printed by a Birming- ham company, La Reiiie has stayed at home this year and claims to show more work contributed by the students than in any previous issue. For the first time in annual history all photographic work, except class pictures, was done by student camera experts. This independence from commercial photographers was extended to the art depart- ment; what appears to be professional artistry in this book is not that all, but is the work of some of our very gifted campus artists. Even the writing classes were recognized in Lci Rcnie ' s student labor draft, and a favored few from these classes have thought long and hard to collect enough words to make up this book. The 1939 La Rciiw announces for this vear the largest circulation in ten years.
