STAFF WRITERS Hunt Oraham, George Lynch, and Shannon Mini FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1935 LETTER TO THE EDITOR It would be vain indeed for us win knew Cecil Dunn to attempt a descrip tion of the sorrow so deep in us at th news of his death. It is fitting, how ever, and to some degree possible, to ex press something of the high regar which we all had for him. The esteer in which Cecil is held atul the fine thing which might be said of him have no been fathered by our grief; it is tru rather that our grief is the result, ou love for him the cause. I f we were ti say that Cecil was an ideal companior that his disposition and eternal sinil were always welcome, we would not b belated, for these things were said o him often while he was with us. It i certain that those of us who knew bin most intimately regret his passing mos deeply, but tlvose whose paths neve ? crossed his and whose only contact wit! him was a greeting now and then wil also miss his cheery presence and hi sincere, smiling face. It would seer sufficient to say "He was our goot cheerful, sincere friend. The world i better off for his having lived upon i' We shall miss him." His Friends. ?V. 8. o.? LAST WORD This twelfth issue of The Gatnecoc concludes this semester's progran for the University weekly. The Gami cock during this semester under th editorship of the present editor er deavored in every way possible t build up good will toward the studer paper. One notable effort of its policy fc this semester was full cooperatio with the faculty in getting the sti dents to realize the wonderful poss bilities of the University and to brin the students here and throughout th state in closer association with its pui pose and opportunities. Whether c ?n>t it has l'ully succeeded in doing th we cannot concretely give evident of its success, at least not for tl time being. /he (tamccock also this semcsti tried earnestly to live up to its polic of service and usefulness to the sti dent body other than its regular new service, by presenting to the student a Directory, however late it was i: sued, for their general use the reniaii der of the semester and possibly nej semester. The newly elected staff, consist in of Mr. Howard Cooper editor, T. 'J Moore, managing editor, and Atherto Whaley, business manager, will m doubtedly, by reason of past exper ence, be able to offer the student bod a worthy paper next year, in man respects progressive and with an in proved competency that will win ft 'Jhe (mmccock additional prestige ar favor. During the past semester a numlx of obstacles were encountered, but wei overcome with the help of the men hers of the present staff to whom muc is due in praise and recognition. Tl: beginning of the semester saw an ex perimcnt in the publication of Gamecock. The experiment proved success in many respects and wa made possible through the wonderft cooperation of the various member of the staff. It is hoped that this ex periment will prove of some use i the near future. In a last word, the paper this se mcster in many respects might hav been better. The improvements wil assuredly come with the next colleg year. Clyde Gaffney Chosen Euphradian President (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) funds left by James II.
