is to the friends of the Louisiana Industrial Institute who are interested in its welfare and progress, and to the many students who have labored within the walls of our dear old institution the past year, and to the future generation upon whose shoulders the great responsibilities of school life are to rest, and to the Alumni who are scattered in all parts of the South reflecting credit to our beloved institution—that we offer this volume of the Lagniappe. We ask you, kind friends not to expect to find in this little volume master- pieces of art and literature, for it is only a record of the happenings and loving remembrances of the past that we hold very dear. We, the Senior Class of 1909, hope that vou shall see beneath the frivolous things recorded, which seem¬ ingly are our only effort, a deeper, nobler aim which our institution strives to wield—an understanding and practice of the higher things of life. If this can be done, every one of our hearts will be made glad and we shall feel amply repaid for our feeble efforts. 4
