As you may know, this year East Texas State is celebrating its 60th anniversary. In view of this we are naming this issue of the Loom! The Diamond jubilee Edition. We are also celebrating another occasion with this issue. This will be the first time that Loom! pictures have been taken and processed entirely by campus personnel. This was made possible by the expansion and building program on the campus. We would also like to say that we are honored to be the first to edit the Locmt in its new home, the new Dealey Hall. The building is com- pletely equipped for work on school publications, and although we were a little unsettled for this edition, each succeeding one should show improvement. In conclusion, we would like to give special thanks to President Iames G. Gee, whose ingenuity and leadership made these new facilities pos- sible. Also to Mr. Otha Spencer, who is a most patient and able advisorg and to a host of others too numerous to mention, we give wholeheatted thanks. Sincerely yours, THE ED1ToRs. MW uf Rv .cr

7 as-1 Qfnxns State Ueanhers Qlnllege fllummercn, Texas czo 'r NT 1 TO THE GRADUATES OF l9h9: The distribution of this volume is approximately concurrent with your passage from the ranks of undergraduates and into the ranks of the many thousands of graduates who have gone out from your Alma Mater. May I add my hearty congratulations and all good wishes to those of your friends and well wishers--among the student body, the faculty, the members of your family and acquaintances within the outside world. The measure of a life is its service. Your Alma Mater will not maintain and enhance its reputation so much by its increases in physical plant and enlarged campus as it will by the quality of productive services which you may render to the present and oncoming generations of the peoples of this state and nation. May God's guidance and richest blessings go with you in all of your endeavors. Certainly, you have my good wishes and my assur- ance of abiding faith and friendship. In turn, do not feel that, in having graduated, you have broken your connection with this institution. Conversely, the tie is stronger and it is hoped that you will always want to come back to this campus when the opportunity is afforded. May you come often and may you always find a warm and cordial welcome on the campus and within the doors of your Alma Mater. F ithf ly, ames G. Gee esident
