i HE REFLECTOR, completing its fifty- first yeai as the major student publication of Mississippi State College, has strivcd to give this school the best college news jour- nal in the South. While following this policy, it expresses through its editor and his staff the opinions of the student body; it publishes all college news that is believed suitable for publica- tion; it serves as a recorder of collegiate events, being used by the library and other archives as reference; its editorial pages are dedicated for the use of presenting problems and their solutions from an unbiased view- point to the student body; and last, its policies are free from any campus politics. Editor E. J. Chick Hosch, ably assisted by a large and competent staff of student writers, has more than upheld the growing prestige of the Reflector among other col- lege journals. Bobby French, Business Manager, proved efficient in soliciting ads and handling the distribution of the paper. The students were, with few exceptions, issued a full-size paper, carrying the latest CHICK HOSCH Editor REFLECTOR EDITORIAL STAFF E. J. Chick Hosch, Editor-iii-Chief Jim Buck Ross . . .

Smylie HE primary purpose of the staff in presenting this volume of the Ruvkille has been to please the student body. We have endeavored to accurately depict all activities of the ' 3 7- ' 3 8 session, and have tried to institute certain changes to make for an en- tirely different Reveille. We realized the impor- tance of such sections as classes, fraternities, athletics and organizations, and have strived to present them in a somewhat different and more pleasing manner. The snapshot section was augmented by means of a photo contest. As a result, a more varied and representative group of pictures has been included in this section. For the purpose of perpetuating interest in the book, we have employed for the first time, a theme, which is most generally in accord with the romantic connotations of the magic name Mississippi. Stress has been given to the identification of photographs so that the reader might secure added enjoyment, and, at the same time, accurate informa- tion concerning the pictures. We hope that this volume of the Reveille meets with the approval of the student body, and may we express our sincere appreciation to this body for the privilege they have bestowed upon us of editing and managing this publication.
