s G OVERNOR OF Robert Floyd Kennon, governor of Louisiana, has an in- teresting record of leadership that began in his days as a student at Louisiana State University. While a freshman at L.S.U. he had the highest scholastic record in his class and received an award for the best average in the university. In his senior year he was captain of his R.O.T.C. company and lettered in football and tennis. He was also president of the Y.M.C.A., member of the Honor Council, vice-president of the Inter-Fraternity Council, member of the University debate team, and of Scabbard and Blade. Such a record led to his membership in Mu Sigma Rho, national scholastic honorary, Tau Kappa Alpha, national debate society, and Phi Pi, na- tional law society. After he received his LL.B. degree from L.S.U. in 1925, he began the practice of law in his hometown, Minden. At the GOVERNOR ROBERT FLOYD KENNON BOARD O F SUPERVISORS FIRST Row: Mr. Theo. F.
