i cations STAFF ROGER BARRETT Editor L. HENRY Business Manager From its formal beginning in September of the year 1939 under the tutorage of William Turner, the Arrowhead has at- tempted to fulfill a definite need on the Mississippi College campus. Having as its purpose the providing of a more adequate means of student literary expression, this second year the publication has faced a considerable number of handicaps. In Jan- uary, Editor Roger Barrett withdrew from school and Assistant Editor Paul Nunnery assumed editorial duties. Lack of student interest and of financial support have proved to be almost insurmountable diffi- culties. Only through an admirable perse- verance of the staff has the magazine con- tinued thus far this year. The superlative of adjectives should be used in description of the efforts of Assistant Editor Paul Nunnery, Feature Editor Louis Dollarhide, Sports Editor Gene Wirth, and writer David Caul. Without the labors of this small group much of the Arrowhead would have come to nought. j ' ’ ' 4 5 Jr . £zr o „„. • fi, • f »o r : ' ■ i. c s .v £ i s ST.i,. p (,,, Oer HI Jf • . ' • »

P U B L I c STAFF JOHN W. WILLS Editor L. G. HORN Business Manager Edited by the capable but conservative John W. Wills, the Mississippi Collegian made definite forward strides this year. Clinging to a remarkable belief that the task of a college newspaper is both to re- flect and to mould student opinion, the weekly newssheet well fulfilled its purpose in making itself the mouthpiece of the en- tire student population of Mississippi and Hillman Colleges. For, starting with its first issue, the Collegian busied itself with what has proved to be the primary problem of the student school year: the formation of a working Honor System. An achievement of interest along this line has been the re- installation of a telephone in Chrestman Hall. Without exception, commen- dation must be given to each member of the staff. Special credit is due to John Shep- ard for work in all depart- ments of the paper; to col- umnists Grady Cothen, Riley Munday, Robert Lowrey; to the writers of Larry Lawrence and The Tattler; to Sports Editor Stanley Hattox; and fo News Editors David Smiley and Billy Skelton.

SENIORS OFFICERS LACY GEORGE HORN, JR. President HARTWELL McPHAIL Vice-President CHARLES WILLIAM JORDON Secretary-Treasurer The senior steadied by the tradi- tions of Mississippi College, grounded upon the sure founda- tion, trained by a well-rounded program, and upheld and sustained by the friendship of Christian brothers, can face even this age with hope. Basic human needs are the same, perhaps, more intensi- fied. Ideals are still worth striving for, though, perhaps, harder to attain.
