Left to right: Dr. T. E. Ferguson, Mr. C. E. Ferguson and Miss Sue Hill Deans ' Messages The adventure of life is the quest of the unknown, in the search of which our best guides are knowl- edge, integrity, health and the outlook of youth. These it is the end of education to acquire, cherish, guard, and preserve. Dr. Thomas E. Ferguson, Dean of Faculty The truly happy person is the one who can afford the luxury of remembering his past. My wish for you is that in the years to come you can look back upon your days in S. F. A. as truly happy days. Get everything out of each day as it comes. Keep your feet on the ground, your chins up and your eyes open. Mr. C. E. Ferguson, Dean of Men Another year in passing leaves its record here. Do these pages reflect for YOU the spirit of S. F. A.? College spirit is infinitely more than yelling for your team at athletic events. If you have caught here something of the spirit of learning, the spirit of service, and the spirit of truth, life has become enriched not only for you, but also for those whose lives you touch, — and this is a better school because you came. Miss Sue Hill, Dean of Women

A. W. Birdwell, President From the very first year of the College, the STONE FORT has painted a faithful picture of its activities. As the years go by students appreciate more and more the college annual. Looking back over it they find the faces of fellow students and suggestions of activities that meant perhaps more than formal study The year 1937-1938 has been another one of progress. Improvements on the campus give promise of better service in the future. The course of study is being constantly revised to meet the needs of students. There is no reason why the past should not be regarded with pride and the future faced with confidence. It all depends on what the students do with the information acquired and the disciplines to which they have been subjected. It is my hope that each one will carry away from the College a genuine respect for it and an increasing consciousness of responsibility that come from participating in its activities. The College tries to think that it has a mission, and that mission is to furnish the altar from which coals will be carried to all sections of East Texas. Its prayer is that the students who go out from the College Among the Pines will be a benediction to the young life of East Texas, and will exert real influence in solving the problems of society in such a way that a finer civilization may be guaranteed to all the people. A. W. Birdwell, President. February 1, 1938
