Changes in the Staff
The Campus Mirror staff, at its first
business meeting, had an unusual problem
to solve. Jewell Crawford, who was duly
elected as Editor-in-Chief, has found it
necessary in this, which should have been
her senior year, to enter College on tlie
five-four plan and thus has too little time
for the various duties of Editor-in-Chief.
The staff, with regret, accepted her resigna
tion and elected Ernestine May, who had
been elected as secretary of the staff, to
serve as Editor-in-Chief. Jewell Crawford
was elected as Social Editor and Lilian
Davis to the position of secretary. Jewell
Crawford presided at this meeting and gave
the staff assurance that she will give them
all the benefit possible of the training she
has received for the position under the re
tiring Editor-in-Chief, Mamie Hynes.
Since the Advertising Manager, Dorothy
Turner, has not returned to College, Inez
Gay, of last year’s staff, who is teaching
at Booker T. Washington High School in
the city, has consented to help with that
work until the staff can fill the position.
Although tin 1 staff members take first
responsibility for every department of the
work of managing and publishing the paper,
any students who are interested in writing
should report the fact to the Editor-in-
Chief or to any other member of the staff
or to the Adviser.
The Tenth Year
Jewell Crawford, '35
5 on will notice on the front page of this
issue of the Campus Mirror that our volume
number is X, and when this volume is com
plete the paper will have finished a decade
of its existence. But, like any happy ten-
year-old, the Mirror says to its readers, “I
am nine years old, going on ten.”
During these years it has reflected many
scenes and experiences which mirror to
friends and acquaintances the beauty, depth
and richness of the life of the Spelman
community.
New buildings have gone up and the sur
roundings been transformed to harmonize
with the changed environment since the
( ampus Mirror began its record of events.
Paplev Hall was dedicated in 1925. Sisters
( Impel has stood at the entrance to the
campus since 1927 to welcome all who enter
the gates. Howe Memorial Chapel has been
changed into the Little Theater. In 1930
all hearts danced with glee over the chang
ing of Morgan Dining Mali into a modern
cafeteria. The same year the nursery school
was opened with a twofold purpose: the
training of little children and the training
ol students in the can* of children. In suc
cession have come the Atlanta University
Library, the Administration Building and
the new Dormitory for graduate students.
The Mirror aims to record all passing in
terests of the affiliated institutions and es
pecially of Spelman Campus.
A Gift of Volume One
Mary L. Reddick, ’35
There is something about the beginnings
of things that is out of the ordinary. To
many of us our school paper is a thing that
is just here and comes out once a month.
Do we ever ask ourselves, “How did it
happen to be here?” or “Who started the
Campus Mirror?” or “How long have Spel
man students been editing the school
paper?” Among the many treasures
which the Did iinson sisters possessed
were copies of the infant Campus Mirror.
Before their departure last summer, they
presented a copy of every issue of Volume
One of the paper with a roll of copies from
later issues to the Campus Mirror staff.
I hose papers make almost complete the
files of the C ampus Mirror and are treas
ured by the staff not only because of their
interest as the first volume and parts of
later volumes that were lacking, but also
because they were given by two of our
most untiring teachers, Miss Louise and
Miss Laura Dickinson, who are no longer
here.
In October, 1924, the students of Spel
man College published the first numbers
of the Campus Mirror. There were only
two staff members, Mattie Harper and Ruby
\ inson. The first four issues were mimeo
graphed sheets. On the front page of the
October issue appeared the original college ■
song, Spelman, Beloved Spelman. The No
vember issue had on the front page a pic
ture of a turkey, the December issue, a
Christmas tree, and the January issue sug
gested The Great Emancipator brooding
over the Capitol at Washington. The re
maining numbers of this volume were made
on smaller sheets, were printed and bore
front page cuts: one of the entire campus,
one of Rockefeller Hall, one of Packard
Hall and the May issue had a cut of Miss
Lucy Hale Tapley.
It was during this same year of 1924 that
Spelman Seminary became Spelman College.
Li reading over these papers one feels that
these girls had an earnest determination to
do all that they could to keep the morals
and ideals of Spelman up to a high stan
dard, along with a keen sense of their
duties as students.
There are many things in the making of
a college which are as essential today as
they were ten years ago when the paper
was begun. Those girls realized this and
