President's Message to Seniors of 1937 HE East Texas State Teachers College was established first in 1889, at Cooper, Texas. It was removed to Commerce in 1894. In 1917 it became the property of the State, and has been operated since that time as the East Texas State Teachers College. Prior to that time it was known as the East Texas Normal College. , During the period of its operation as a private institution, approximately five hun- dred students were graduated from the col- lege. Since that time, 2,766 have been gradu- ated. More than 6,000 people have been trained within its halls and classrooms. Annual enrollment has increased until now approximately 3,200 individuals receive in- struction here during the course of a year. Men and women trained in old East Texas are now scattered throughout the length and breadth of America. You, this year, join this vast army of ex-students. As you do so, I wish for you the same abundant success that has come to classes of previous SAM H.

Tl-IE i 1 9 3 7 LOCUST Executives A. C. FERGUSON Dean of College B. A., University of Texas, 1907g M. A., 1908. One of the outstanding golfers of the faculty is the Dean, who also persists in hunting as well. His eyes are blue-gray and his hair gray. Five feet, nine in height, he weighs 165 pounds. Outside of sports his interest lies in social welfare in school and church. LENVIS I. SMITH Business Manager' B. S., East Texas State Teachers College, 1926, M. A., Southern Methodist University, 1928. With dark brown. hair and gray eyes, Mr. Smith stands five feet, five and one-half inches and weighs 110. Of the oddities concerning him, he doesn't play golf and has no hobbies-perhaps his work being his major interest has some- thing to do with this. To him reading is a pastime and foot- ball a great sport. JOHN S. WINDELI. Registrar B. S., East Texas State Teachers College, 1926, M. A., Southern Methodist University, 1932. A blue-eyed blond standing six feet, one and a half inches and weighing 170, that's Mr. Windell-a sporting man at that. He takes his golf rather seriously, loves his football, adores any sport, is very enthusiastic concerning the miniature farm in his back yard, and is devoted to his work. Page Z8
