Typist Leona Marie Carter Typist Oppie Lee Marcus Typist Homer H. Hamilton Advisor Charles J. Smith, III Advisor FDREWDRD The second volume of The Tiger is presented by the Senior Class of 1949. It is not intended to represent an expression of scientific research or learned method- ology. Rather, it is intended to present in a simple and informal manner a pictorial view and review of Alma Mater as an historical reminder of the best years of one's life college days. To say that the responsibility of planning and editing the book has been achieved without a goodly portion of hardship would be a mere modest statement, for every responsibility has its accompanying difficulties. Even so, each difficulty surmounted has its compensating rewards. In retrospection, the staff counts its rewards greater than the difficulties a worthy yardstick by which to measure success or failure of any undertaking. Appreciation is expressed to those many friends business men, faculty, patrons, alumni, schoolmates, and classmates who have lent so graciously of their support and interest toward making this book a reality. The Editor D E D I C A W. K. Payne Dean of Faculty To a renowned professional educator whose influence inspires young; men and women to worthy achievements; to a good citizen whose integrity and foresight are of inestimable value in the leadership of his community; to a gentleman and friend, whose life is worthy, of emulation, the Senior Class proudly dedicates this hook. T I IV S Janie L. Lester Dean of Jf omen To one whose contributions are recognized as invaluable services to the college and to society ; to a woman whose influence and guid- ance have made her known throughout Georgia and neighboring states; to a lady of high moral standards, noble thoughts, and genu- ine warmth that endear her to all whom she touches, the Senior Class pays a humble tribute by this dedication.

Carter, B. S. Acting Principal Leanna Tanner Crawford, M.Ed. Critic Teacher Powell Laboratory School serves a two-fold purpose at Georgia State College. In terms of the child, it offers edu- cational opportunities to boys and girls who live in the col- lege area. For them, the school seeks to offer such experi- ences which are conducive to good mental, social, and phy- sical development. Every effort is made to secure the serv- ices of well-trained and professional teachers who can project a modern program of elementary education. On the other hand, the name Laboratory School implies that the program further provides guided practice experi- ences for college students who major in elementary educa- tion. Under the supervision of alert teachers, these stu- dents learn the "know how" of actually putting into prac- tice the concepts and methods which they learn in their col- lege classes, thus coordinating the theoretical with the prac- tical.

Since then, it lias grown from one state worker and two full-time county workers to a force of six state workers, two office assistants, and seventy county workers. 4-H Cluh enrollment has gone from 4 1 3 in 1920 to over 43,001) in 1948. From a program touching 2,650 persons in 1920 to a movement reaching and influencing half of Georgia's Negro farm population in 1948. Agricul- ture Extension work has proved its need and practicality.
