Staff Introduction Nile present herewith in the name of the Diploma Class the first publication issued by the students of the Mississippi Normal College. We would ask that as you turn the pages of this book you bear in mind the fact that we have had not only the foundation to lay out, but the construction work to execute as well. NVe wish to thank those members of the faculty who have helped us in so many ways, the members of the other classes wh-o so willingly contributed material, and the young men who lent their assistance in getting the manuscripts typewritten. Without. this aid, the task would have been beyond our ability. We assure you that we have put forth our best efforts in the few weeks in which we had to complete the work. We sincerely hope that the publication will meet the approval of the student body. Those who can, do. Those who can't, criticize. Katie Gray Lyle, Editor-in-Chief. Telula McMi1lin, Assistant Editor-in-Chief. Elma H. Smith, Associate Editor. Florence Bailey, Associate Editor. C. S. Williamson, Associate Editor. W. R. Crouch, Associate Editor. R. E. Lee McNair, Business Manager. Carolyn Gilbert, Assistant Business Manager. 6

FOREWORD This publication is a product ofthe desire on the part of the first graduates ofthe Normal College to give to the public an idea ofthe various lines of endeavor characterizing the Mississippi Normal College. It is not a souvenir and it is not an annual, nor do they, the class, intend to be only for themselves. Its name, The New Spirit, indicates its purpose. It is intended to be help- ful to those engaged in the same line of work as they and to any others into whose hands it may fall. I commend it. JOE CGOK, PRIQSIDENT. 8
