President of N. S. C. We at Northwestern State College are well aware that a campus group constitutes a unique community, and that this community provides singular opportunities for the richest of human experiences. We endeavorto be happily serious academically, to be reasonably carefree in recreation and to live together in a spirit of mutual trust and helpfulness. On our campus, faculty and staff have confidence in the mind and heart of students; students strive to merit the approval of their instructors. Working together, we shall do our utmost to extend the best of the old and to appropriate the good that may come from the spirited use of the new. Our supreme wish is that we may merit the respect and confidence of all who labor for a better college. K% ' aUAs 16
