GREETING. Victory after five years of struggle on learning’s battle-ground is a message within itself. Louder than thunder in summer’s first shower, sweeter and more glorious than the perfumed southern breeze in springtime was the glad news of triumph heralded to those who have so cheerfully labored under this burden of years till knowledge hoisted her flag. To give this history in full would be a story only too long, but to leave the scene without mention would be a task undone. It is, then, with a sense of loyalty and duty that we have compiled this little volume of events and present it with loving good will to those who care to know more of our school and those who wish to preserve it as a fond recollection of the illustrious past. We kindly ask, however, that the gentle reader expect nothing from a genius mind but merely honest efforts of the young. To those thoughtful men so interested in Louisiana’s posterity who made this institution possible, we grate- tully acknowledge our indebtedness and beg to offer our feeble services to the betterment of the state in return. To fathers and mothers interested in a refuge of imre and strenuous learning for their offspring, we heartily recommend this retreat. We leave only with a stronger desire to search the bookshelves of life tor their better muses. We carry with us happy memories of our comrades and triends, and a flood of best wishes for the toilers following our lead is the senti- ment left by the graduates of 1910. 4
