jlze JGffen5 ecome .Aggie-.S?elol0in, omcafd It was way back rn the fall of I943 when Tom and Il hs lrttle alley pals padded therr way up the front walk and trmrdly entered the sacred portals of AH S On that very frrst day Tom looked about hrm and saw the clean and brrstly faces of the wrde eyed krttens who would form the mrghty sophomore class Those frrst few weeks as a sophomore are ones that Tom recalls wrth purrs of fond recollectron Tom who had felt lrke a really brg cat as a nrnth grader rn runror hrgh found that he was a very lrttle krtten rn the mrdst of a crowd of overlordrng runrors and senrors To hrm AH S was a maze of dark corrrdors and blrnd alleys haunted by cold senrors who generously sold therr assembly seats and places rn lunch lrne No wonder Tom grew to be such a frerce felrne when as a mere krtten hrs fur was rubbed the wrong way' Realrzrng that he was the undercat Tom chose four stalwart leaders to gurde hrm safely through thrs sopho more nrghtmare For the offrce of presrdent he elected Buddy Hoffman who carrred hrs class to glory on the football freld Brll Doran was chosen for vrce presrdent whrle Bob Gardner and Carolyn Callrhan were made secre tary and treasurer respectrvely As class sponsor Tom hose Mr Robert Morrrs the new assrstant football coach But Tom and hrs classmates soon stepped rnto the wrng of lrfe at AH S They rorned clubs and took therr rnrtratrons wrthout a mew and when the frrst brg football game occurred they stood up and yowled lrke veterans Those who had a yen for rournalrsm trred out for the Hr Lrfe Gazette and became cub reporters Others such as george Wegener and Harry Farrell took therr places on the basketball squad Before he knew rt Tom had maoe a The next year acknowledgrng the fact that he was no longer a feeble krtten Tom arched hrs back and proudly took hrs place downstarrs rn assembly at last a runror tomcat Yreldrng to cat nature Tom especrally enjoyed show rng the ropes to the new sophomore krttens In hrs runror year Tom chose for hrs class offrcers Deck Werght presr dent Gee Gee Mathewson vrce presrdent Carolyn Callr -ran secretary and Johnoa Frsher treasurer Mrs Ada Brown was elected as runror sponsor Assertrng hrs new found strength Tom scalecr the walls of past achrevment contrrbutrng generously to the lnfantrle Paralysrs fund wrth 33 63 Thrs year he really out hrs claws out and went over the top rn purcha rng war bonds rn the Theta Cluo rallre ' Tom tudred harder than ever now for these were tne grades that w ulo '-'rake hrm elrgrble for Honor Socrety Junror cats sharpened therr claw and lan ed the yes rn school sports thrs year Doug Robrn on Buody Hoffmar J D lson Joe Southers Bob Webb and Mac Fearrng held berths on the frrst strrng football team Not only drd Tom make thrs contrrbutron to the battle of the prgskrn but also the nrmble runror thrnclads drd therr share rn the world of sports Some of Toms contemporarres refused to wart tll therr senror year to recerve top honors Barbara Allemang and Phyllrs Shannon were consecutrve edrtors of the Hr Lrfe Gazette The prrde and roy of a rumor class rs a successful prom for the senrors Tom really drd hrmself proud deco ratrng the gym to resemble a moonlrght seashore scene rn Hawarr Just before the graduatron of hrs brg brother the I945 senror class Tom had electrons for the varrous hon ors whrch hrs pals would recerve as senrors To presrde over assembly as presrdent of the student councrl Tom chose Deck Werght Doug Robrnson was elected captarn of the dauntless football team of l945 46 For the edrtor of the annual Carolyn Callrhan who had served as runror photographer was chosen Phyllrs Shannon was agarn made edrtor of the Gazette Thus a very busy and excrt rng year came to an end and Tom prepared to shoulder the responsrbrlrtres and roys of a brg cat a senror lt was qurte a drfferent Tom who strutted up the front walk of A H S rn I945 from the drffrdent krtten that padded up that same walk three
