THE STATESMAN... Every year The Broom Staff selects one outstanding individual to whom we dedicate The Broom. However, this year we have two dedications; the first is Hugh Ellis Walker, the Statesman. Mr. Walker entered Delta State Teachers College in the Spring of 1948. By the time he graduated he had accumulated a lengthy list of accomplishments. He was president of the following organizations: Student Government Association, Miss. Intercollegiate Council, and Men ' s Honor Council, vice-president of his Junior Class and the Baptist Student Union. Other honors include, football manager, member of the tennis team, Junior Class favorite, M Club mem- ber, Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities, Tri-Beta member, and finally Mr. Delta State Teachers College. He gradu- ated in 1952 and todk a coaching job at Durant, Mississippi, but his days as a Statesman were not complete. In July, 1969, Mr. Walker took the job as Director of Alumni Affairs here at Delta State. If anyone visits the Union for any length of time, they are sure to see his smiling face; a face that has come full circle at Delta State, first as student and now an important part of the staff. This accomplishment is surely worthy of the title STATESMAN.
