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 (Continued on Page 4)
