c;K HO THE BOBASHELAo i ok: 310K: IXOiC OiO frrfar 9 SHh progress of timf makes it necessary to change things. It nvas my t f idea that Millsaps had so groivn that a different type of annual ivas needed to properly represent the College. Much thought luas given to the method of treatment — to tlie proper distribution of emphasis betiveen the ' uarious sections. The final decision ivas to start anew as it were, to make an annual so radically different from the accepted idea of annuals that there would be a howl of protest from all sides (that ivas the actual result); and at the same time to build a foundation upon which mucli progress could be made in the future. This foundation is the training of various members from the under classes which will be available for the next Staff. To treat in proper perspective things so close at hand and to portray correctly all phases of college activities in the light of actual worth would tax t ie ability of the wisest editor. I have given my serious attention to determining luliat to omit, in the limited space, and to weigh the importance of everything going into this volume. There are no apologies offered. The Q26 Bobashela is the best Year Book possible under the limitations. Many students and friends not on the Staff liave unselfishly helped with this work. I am grateful to each. To the Staff as a whole much credit is due. To each member appreciation is expressed in proportion to credit due. It is not my wish to unduly laud any member. However, I would indeed be ungrateful if I did not give them the praise ivhich they merit. To Sarah Hester Legg, Associate Editor, I am especially grateful for her constant and unfailing assistance and inspiration. To Franklin I ' aughan, Art Editor, ivliose invaluable work has made this volume so attractive, my sincere thanks are given. To his grandmother, Mrs. E. IF. Featherstun, I am indebted for tw)o excellent drawings. To J. B. Price, Sports Editor, who at no time failed to do the appointed task, I am grateful. Robert Calhoun, Junior Editor, must be mentioned as an able assistant and the goat for all outbursts. IFhen the time comes that tlie dark of the days that are will be bright- ened by the light of the days that were, may this volume be reminiscent of memories that will cheer. 3lfp lEbilor.

OK HO THE BOBASHELAoK u 1AAA.A ,AA A., ' OIC ZXOfC When war shook the earth with threatening shock, The men of Rlillsaps stood like monuments of rock. Nor has the breath of Time Dissolved that proud array Of never-broken strength : For though the rocks decay. And all the iron bands Of earthly strongholds are unloosed at length. And buried deep in gray oblivion ' s sands; The ivork that heroes ' hands Wrought in the light of freedom ' s natal day Shall never fade away. But lifts itself, sublime Into a lucid sphere. Forever calm and clear. Preserving in the memory of the fathers ' deed, A never-failing fortress for their children ' s need. There ive confirm our hearts to-day, and read On many a stone the signature of fame. The builder ' s mark, our Alma Mater ' s name.
