President of the College Much of the joy of living comes from the thrills and satisfactions of the present. It would seem that the school year of 1954-55 has an unusually large number of these satisfactions and enjoyable instances. To begin with, our student body showed an appreciable increase in number. This gave us the opportunity to know, work with, and enjoy a much larger number of fine young men and women. Then the attitudes and spirit of the students and faculty have been unusually fine. This has added a fine zest and wholesome enthusiasm to our daily liv- ing that has meant much. Further, teachers report much good student learning, and students report much excel- lent teaching. So 1954-55 is and has been a good year in which to live, and work, and play at Stephen F. Austin State College. Probably the most regretted part of the year is the realization that some will be leaving the College during or at the end of the year. This, of course, is normal, and to be expected. Nevertheless, we do hate to see them go, and yet we want them to know that at all times, where- ever they may be, they carry the best wishes of S. F. A. To all, we say that it has been good to have had you with us, and we hope that your stay has been profitable and pleasant. It is our hope that the future holds for each of you a life of full rewards for hard, conscientious, intelligent work, a life endowed with joy, hope, satisfac- tions, respect, success a,nd love. Paul L. Boynton 6
