FOR WORD Mrs. Lizzie Exum Matron Hardee Hall A boy ' s best friend is his mother. A Delta State boy ' s best friend is Mrs. X. To Mrs. Lizzie Exum, in appreciation of her friendly interest, her maternal companionship, and her steadfast loyalty to my boys, we, the men of the graduating class, lovingly dedi- cate our share of this volume. Dedic Mrs. Ethel Crawley Matron Cleveland Hall To one whose motherly care, undying devotion, and patient indulgence has been ever near us; to Ma Crawley, who has indeed been a mother to us, we, the girls of the Senior Class, with grateful appreciation and deepest affec- tion, wish to dedicate our portion of THE BROOM. MION In Appreciation We, the members of the Editorial Staff of THE BROOM, take this method of expressing our love and appreciation to Mr. Joseph Pleasant McCain for the services which he has rendered the members of the faculty and the student body of the Delta State Teachers Col- lege during the time that he has been connected with the college in the capacity of Business Manager. May we carry the clear cut policies of good citizenship and Christian ideals which he has set before us into our many walks of life.
