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.

They have spent their time on the paper not alone in telling what students here are do- ing. T jc Gold and Black was also at considerable pains to find out what students here are thinking these days. The paper conducted several polls probing into the collegiate mind to see what — if anything — that perennial phenomenon on the Birmingham- Southern campus was deciding about the world ' s too numerous ills. When the answers, as they often did, pointed to youthful confusion or equally characteristic youthful in- difference the paper was disposed to think that significant too. For optimistic college journalists it was a good year in another way. T jc Gold and Black had the happy task of covering the work of a new President as he dug in and found himself at a strange desk among new faces. And from the first he was good copy. A bit unpredictable, perhaps, but what of that? There was always something doing. i ---
