lr l l ebitatiun To Our Alumni. lf in turning these imperfect pages, you feel once more the Normal College spirit and live again your college days: if, in some way, you are made to love your Alma Mater more deeply and to renew your zeal in perpetuating her great principles, we shall not have labored in vain. You are her soul, and only as she lives in you, in us, and in her children yet to be, shall she be made a benediction to men. To you, the men and women who have devoted your lives to a great profession: who counsel with boys and girls and inspire them with the highest ideals, who, by your labor, are adding to the educational advancement, the moral improve- ment, and the material welfare of our State, who love your Alma Mater because of her service to you and through you to the boys and girls of Mississippi: who rejoice when her days of prosperity come and sympathize when the days of gloom overtake her: who are determined that there shall be a greater Normal College and a greater Mississippi-to you we gratefully and affectionately dedicate this Annual.

juretnurh We are fully conscious that there are imperfections within these pages, but the staff has been unsparing in its efforts to make this year's Annual representative of the Normal College life. lt has been our purpose to include in this year-book every activity of the College, and it is our sincere wish that this little book may in some degree fulfill your expectation, and be the means of recalling many pleasant memories. We wish to express our appreciation to the many who aided and co-operated in the production of this book, and are we especially grateful to Miss Alma Hickman for her valuable suggestions and untiring and kindly criticism. She has added largely to whatever the success of this Annual may be.
