Oexas RAND OLD TEXAS stands as an effulgent example of sovereign majesty, a noble monument to the heroic souls that gave their lives to bring her into ex¬ istence, and serve as a fitting her¬ itage to the men she shelters now within her borders. In the beginnings of the Western World, she lay, a boundless wilder¬ ness, furnishing a home for the Amer¬ ican Indian and virgin ground over which Spanish and French adven¬ turers came and went. The years passed on and Teutonic civilization made another notable encroachment on the Latin, whereby Texas brought a history peculiarly her own, short in time but rich in achievement, to merge into the greater record of the American Union. American pioneers on the Western march of civilization won Texas from an inferior race and made of her a place, not of vapid, seething com¬ mercialism, not yet left her in the wake of progress, but built a com¬ monwealth wherein the altruistic spirit of man blends becomingly with this Modern Age.

THE COLLEGE YEAR (e) . iPfl m m m - ( 9 ) Ol)e (Tamp us HE CAMPUS STAGE as set four years ago resembles not in the least the scene of our activities of today. As we tramped up the Main Road from the station in the fall of 1912 no massive Main Building met our eye, for from where it now stands, excavation for its con¬ struction was just begun. No firm walks underfoot, no spacious, well- lighted, well-heated dining hall, no beauty spots—none of the things that now make up the Campus Beautiful were here to greet our ad¬ vent to A. M. College. As the present plans of Campus improve¬ ment materialize the change of the next four years will far eclipse the change since 1912; and when the 1920 Longhorn goes to press, a few words here and there may be stricken out in the foregoing paragraph and this same galley of type re-set for that volume, for the A. M. Campus will be as a coral reef, growing in size and splendor as the days go by. i iiMtii;i( I iiiiiMi iiiiti iii i iTTDiiiiiiii im 111 [m[ii)wnm mil niiiiimniihinTin (Tampus (Turve ‘ ' Good roads” and some inspiring SCENERY lillll T I 1 1 III ))) II 1 ) 111 (ID TTTTTTT attain ! uil6in3 ’Tis the Center of the College World, abode of the POWERS THAT BE.

Prior to the advent of the stations the colleges were not highly successful, chiefly because they had but little if any definite information to impart. It is a credit to the stations that since their establishment, the colleges have become more and more useful and accordingly more popular institutions. The State and Federal Governments have very appropriately assumed the responsibility of supporting the experiment stations, because in doing so they are contributing to the general welfare. They require that station work be placed in the hands of competently trained and experienced specialists, for the reason that none other are in position to solve the problems with which agriculture is con¬ fronted. If this were not the case, then every farmer might solve his own problems as he met them, and there would be little need for (32) (33) (34) LONGHORN stations. Station work, because of the character of the men, labora¬ tories and equipment required, comes relatively high when compared to other forms of educational investment. In the early days of the stations, when their purpose was not well understood, there were those who erroneously compared station work with ordinary farm¬ ing and complained that experiment farms, for instance, did not yield an annual profit upon every dollar invested, in addition to the results obtained. It is now understood, however, that the most valuable “crop” that can be secured on an experiment farm is in¬ formation. If an experiment farm paid dividends in dollars and cents from year to year, it stands to reason that private experiment farms would spring up everywhere and obviate the necessity of State and Federal stations. The investment in station work, therefore, is nothing more or less than an investment in agricultural education and its profitableness cannot be measured in terms of money. We should be satisfied if the expenditure of a few thousand dollars re¬ sults in knowledge whereby we may work more intelligently and thereby produce an added income amounting to hundreds of thou¬ sands of dollars annually to the State. It cost this Station, for in¬ stance, only a few thousand dollars for Doctor Francis to develop his treatment of Texas Fever, yet this work has already been of in¬ finite value to the cattle industry and its influence will be felt for all time to come. Where only the Longhorn steer and the scrub cow could be found before, we now have the Hereford, the Shorthorn, the Angus and the Jersey, and with these has come education, happiness and prosperity not before enjoyed. The Texas Station was established in 1888 with Federal funds. Since that time twelve outlying substations have been established at the following places: Beeville, Troup, Angleton, Beaumont, Tem¬ ple, Denton, Spur, Lubbock, Pecos, College Station, Nacogdoches and Chillicothe. Texas being so important an agricultural State, it is but logical c A (35) � In Substation Superintendents (30) LONGHORN that she maintain an experiment station system second to none. Only a few years ago the State was painfully negligent in this par¬ ticular. The only support then given the Station was fifteen thou¬ sand dollars of Federal money per annum, or only enough to feebly support two or three lines of investigation. The great fields of agron¬ omy and animal husbandry were barely touched. At the present time the Station is supported by thirty thousand dollars Federal and one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars of State money per annum. At the beginning, and until a few years ago, the work was in the hands of a few men whose principal duties were teaching, whereas at the present time the Station staff consists of fifty specially fitted men, only three of whom have teaching duties. The work of the Experiment Station system at this time covers the more important problems in crop and livestock production and allied subjects, including feeding, breeding and management of live¬ stock; animal diseases and parasites; soils, field crops, fruits and vegetables; plant diseases and injurious insects; the composition and digestibility of Texas feeding stuffs, the composition of Texas soils, the use of fertilizers and manures of various kinds; plant breeding, with special emphasis on cotton; variety tests of the leading crops, crop rotation, and numerous other lines of work. The findings of the Station are used in classroom by teachers and in the field by the extension workers. From time to time the Station men deliver lectures in connection with the Extension Ser¬ vice and before the students of the College. The students have the opportunity also of observing the various lines of experiment station work, first hand. The Experiment Station has had its ups and downs, but, withal, it has proven to be a serviceable organization. It is now in the hands of vigorous workers and is growing steadily. If it is suffering from anything at the present time, it is growing pains, and that, of course, is the sign of health.

For more than a quarter of a century the State and Federal Governments have co-operated in establishing and supporting agricultural colleges and experiment stations, the latter to discover the best methods of farming and the former to teach these methods to students, mostly boys and young men. In their development agricultural colleges and experiment stations came to em¬ ploy large staffs of specialists in all branches of agriculture, and home economics and accumulated a vast store of information on subjects of vital interest to every member of the farm home. While the number of students who have enrolled in our agricultural colleges is large and hundreds of thousands of bulletins have been circulated annually by the colleges and experiment stations and the Federal Department of Agriculture, the efficiency of these institutions as agencies of rural betterment was below the need of the hour. Out of this need grew what has come to be known as “Extension in Agriculture and Home Economics.” In 1913 the Federal Government gave its endorsement to the principle of agri¬ cultural extension through what is known as the Smith-Lever act, which appropriated the sum of $10,000 to each State unconditionally for each year, with provision for an annual increase until the total annual appropriation reaches the sum of $4,580,000. These conditional sums are apportioned on a basis of rural population and on the ap¬ propriation by each State of an amount equal to that State’s apportionment. Texas’ share of the Smith-Lever fund for the fiscal year beginning Sept. 1, 1915, is $45,969.67 and the State of Texas appropriated for extension work the sum of $35,696.67. Texas’ share of the Federal fund (in addition to the $10,000 unconditional appropriation) will be $65,945 in 1916-17, and will increase annually until it reaches a total of $245,795 in 1922, provided the Texas legislature continues to match the Federal appropriation dollar for dollar with State funds. The Extension Staff consists of Clarence Ousley, Director; T. O. Walton, Chief of Farm Demonstration Division; J. L. Quicksall, Waco, Texas; William Ganzer, Denton, Texas; E. Gentry, Mineola, Texas; T. O. Walton, Livingston, Texas; G. W. Orms, Mineola, Texas; and M. T. Payne, San Antonio, Texas, District Agents Farm Demonstration W ' ork; H. H. Williamson, B. S., and C.

ABY “Aby” first came into prominence as an all¬ company athlete. After arriving at that state he remained, for, as a demerit gainer and rank-loser, “Aby” has no peer. However, as a student and good-fellow, “Aby” outshines his “delinquencies.” Not only is “Aby” a practical man, but a “theory shark” as well. The class is proud of him as a member and feels sure of his success, because it is impossible to keep a good man down. K !

HOMERE “A good man—What more need I say about him?” “Hombre’s” first year in college was very in¬ teresting and exciting to his classmates, because they had to first civilize him and then transform him into an American. Although he spent three years in Mexico before coming to A. M., he still retained all of 1 his High School training. H e i s a strong student and spent a large part of his first year tutor¬ ing his thicker head¬ ed classmates. “Hombre’s” hon¬ est dealings, c o m- bined with his desire to treat everyone right, has made him one of the best liked men in his class. Throughout his en¬ tire college career, he has met with a high _degree of suc¬ cess, and the ease with which he has overcome all obsta¬ cles, is what makes his character so ad¬ mirable.

He has had exceptionally good luck with the military department, having the good fortune to hold the ranks as are shown in the pedigree. One of Eddie’s choicest avocations is argu¬ ing with John Bun¬ ny, Alias Uncle Joe. Eddie was on the baseball squad in the spring of 1912, but he could not make a letter be¬ cause he broke his leg.

FRITZ After reading the above, one can readily see how “Fritz” stands in the eyes of the school. In the academic, military, athletic, and social phases of college life he has always been among the leaders. “Fritz” and “D” have been inseparable for the past four years, hence “Fritz” is known as one of the “twins.” The only time he has been known to desert his “twin” is where the “fairer sex” enters into the case. Aside from the desire to become a “fiddling competitor” of Dr. Gordon, he has spent many pleasur¬ able hours dreaming over his social con¬ quests of which he has made many. When “Fritz” en¬ ters life’s competi¬ tion we feel that he will achieve as much success there as he has in college.

He has al¬ ways shown much more implemental and agricul¬ tural than military aptitude, for to him there is more melody in the hum of gas engines than in martial music. “Bob’s” path has not by any means been strewn with roses, for he has had an uphill climb since his early boyhood. He goes about his work with a vim and a determination that char¬ acterizes a good student and a man of the future. “Bob” will leave behind him a host of friends and will be given a per¬ manent place, with those who are de¬ serving, by his alma !! d (47) NICHOLAS MATHIAS BRAUMILLER, Texarkana Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Second Lieutenant and Quartermaster First Battalion; Sergeant Co. “A”; Private Co. “A”; Private _ Co. “A”; Ross Volunteer; Vice- President “X” Association; Captain Basketball T5-T6; M.

NICK “Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more; Men were deceivers forever.” True to his Teuton lineage, “Nick” is a man, fair, square, kind, democratic, and yet possessed of that indomitable spirit so often found among his countrymen. To his friends, “Nick” is a bro¬ ther; to his enemies (for what great man has no enemies), he is “Old Nick’’ himself. “Nick’s” athletic records need no mention. Suffice to say he is the great¬ est all-round athlete of Texas since the days of Louie Ham¬ ilton. “Nick” needs no pedigree. When stripped of all the glitter and tinsel of his past perform¬ ances, he is un¬ questionably a man of whom his college may be justly proud, whom his fellow- students love, and whose name will al¬ ways be a sacred one in the Halls of A. M. fame. f f Animal Husbandry Age 23; Captain R. V.; Sergeant R. V.; Private R. V.; Second Lieutenant Co. “A”; Sergeant Co. “A”; Corporal Co. “A” T2-’13-’14; Fish Co. “A”; President R. V.

WRICK Sometime ‘Which” will get really excited— maybe; so far, however, it has never happened, to our knowledge, and the reason seems to lie in the fact that it is too great an exertion for him. He came to A. M. early to get a good start on his journey to “Diploma,” but they made a ‘ Frog” out of him, and it has taken him an extra year. Has a sort of dry humor all his own, that makes him excellent company, and is a shark at the great American game— ask some of the boys who are now wiser but sadder men. George has never been known to be in love—it is a foolish pastime he thinks — and the time that other boys devote to the fair ladies he spends on learning about Civil Engineering and what he doesn’t know about his chosen profession is hardly worth know¬ ing. k JAMES DAVID BROWN Rockport Architecture Age 22; Captain Co. “D”; First Sergeant Co “D”; Corporal Co. “M”; Fish Co. “M”; Art Editor Longhorn; Associate Business Manager Battalion ’15-’16; Press Club; President Architec¬ tural Club ’15-’16; Student Advisory Board; Com¬ pany Athletic Council ’15-’16; Captain “C-D” Baseball ’16; Student’s Council ’14-’15; “C-D” Baseball ’15; Finance Committee Thanksgiving Hop T4; Finance Committee Junior Banquet ’15; Finance Committee Final Bali ’15; Atelier Beaux Arts Society T3-’14; Captain “L-M” Baseball ’14.

He loves his branch of “Fine Arts.” The study of Architecture and Allied Arts has taken him to many places where a man can give the public a concrete example of excellent design and construction. “J.D” has given the local¬ ity of Taft Ranch a preliminary survey and has decided that the develop¬ ment of that coun¬ try Architecturally speaking, would be for the civic better¬ ment of the State. We are all proud of Co. “D’s” Captain, who is a firm be¬ liever in the Golden Rule (.slightly alter¬ ed). “J. D.” has taken part in prac¬ tically all of the College Activities, aiding in financing many events.

A. D. “A. D., that military man.” had one of his am¬ bitions realized when he was made Captain and Adjutant of the Regiment, the highest ranking Captain on the campus. He deserves the rank, for his attention to military as well as other duties has been faithful. “A. D.” is a student of Dairy Husbandry, and everyone knows it, for that is one topic he takes great delight in discussing. The head of this de¬ partment early real¬ ized Bruce’s ability along dairy lines, and, as a result, he has been student as¬ sistant for three years. Bruce is a man with a mind of his own, determin¬ ed, studious, and yet never so busy th at he would not give assistance when approached, often offering assistance where it was badly needed.

FRITZ Here is a man worth knowing, for he has a sterling character and a twenty-four karat heart. He has always been a true friend to his every acquaintance and he has never been asked for a favor but that it was immediately granted. He has a certain aversion for books of technical nature, and would much rather be a coach in the “National” game than to work out the stresses and strains in a railroad bridge. He would have -us believe that he is a novice at his favorite avoca¬ tion, but some of us have learned differ¬ ent, and we know that he is a man of no mean ability. If you are fortunate enough to be num¬ bered among his ac¬ quaintances, your joys are his joys, and your sorrows his sorrows, and, al¬ though he usually looks like an ap¬ proaching thunder¬ cloud, just show him a letter, one of those pink ones, and he will give you one of those rare smiles which mean so much.

M. in¬ tending to take up an engineering course, but after delving in freshman math for one week changed to a bug-hunting course so that he could devote more time to “bull” at which he is an adept. This pas¬ time evidently helped him in becoming well- grounded in the fundamentals of Animal Hus¬ bandry, for now as a senior, he is a member of the Chicago Stock Judging Team, one of the most envied honors a senior at A. M. can attain. “D’s” slogan is “It is not what you know but what you make them think you know.” Judging from his success in his stud¬ ies he either knew or he caused them to think a lot. Due to his democratic spirit he does not believe in monop¬ olies, commercial or social. The latter statement is easily proven by the fact that he has not con¬ centrated his senti¬ mentalities on one certain lady but has practiced diversifi¬ cation and has there¬ fore made a favor¬ able impression on them all. ■-v •• J. r ■ ' 5 (51) m THOMAS RINGGOLD CAMP San Antonio Architectural Engineering V Age 20; Captain Co. “G”; Sergeant Co.

His strong personality enables him to carry off very creditably the manifold duties of Captain of one of the best companies on the Campus. He is a strong thinker, and it is never even con¬ sidered that Tom can make anything but high grades. Although . he did not return for the second term in T3, in his sopho¬ more year he car¬ ried all his regular work and also the freshman work for the second term, and at the same time was “distin¬ guished”—a thing that appears almost incredible. His many warm friends will al¬ ways stick by him, for they know that in “Tom” they have a friend that has an unusually high sense of honor, and that he is a man who will always be square regardless of the circumstances.

After his initiation into “C” Company, he received the old “C” Company “pep” and remained in that Company until now he is the cap¬ tain, an honor for which he has reason to be proud. He is a man of positive character and has a strict sense of duty. He has taken part in nearly all com¬ pany athletics and has won two letters in football.

CECIL Alfred has been a member of “H” Company for the past four years. During this time, he has been a true friend of all who knew him. For the last three years of his college career he has held military ranks, and has proven himself worthy of the honors bestowed upon him. “Cecil” first displayed his superior wisdom when he chose the agricultural course in his freshman year. Since that time he has settled down to the ardent task of preparing himself for the profession of teaching in the high schools of the State. He is an efficient student, having made some of the highest grades in his class. He has labored under very trying difficulties and has come out victorious, and, as a reward for his efforts he has won the dis¬ tinction of being one of the best men in the agri¬ cultural class. “Cecil” is by nature quiet and unassuming, but during his college life he has made a host of friends who wish him well in the future.

Hugh does not belong to any one of these classes, but by taking part in all activities has become a well rounded student.

As an officer of Co. “L,” he has again met with success. It was not until the past summer that “King” stepped out as a social lion, and even then it was in the secluded Moun¬ tains of Colorado. Judging from the many varieties of colored letters he re¬ ceives from there, he will no doubt apply his horticultural knowledge to the potato fields of that State. I!

Upon his arrival at college he was as¬ signed to Co. “C,” where he was, in due time, initiated to the old “C” Co. spirit, and as a re¬ sult, he has remain¬ ed in the Company for four years and has risen from the ranks to the first lieutenantship of which he is justly proud. He has risen to the top because of that strong and sterling character which does not know what it means to ‘ ‘quit.” (54) LONGHORN WILL ATMAR COLLINS Groveton Animal Husbandry Flrst Lieutenant Co. “M”; Sergeant Co.

It could hardly be called a ' bluff,’’either, for Connor usually means what he says. He is a strong fellow —fearless, yet com¬ manding respect. If you are fortunate enough to be his friend, he will not tell you about it, but will prove it by his actions. “Jim¬ my” was never am¬ bitious for college honors, but he is practical and has learned well what he does know.

To know him is a privilege indeed. His career in college as a student has been very successful, both in the military and academic department. His military accomplishments are shown by his pedigree above. But as a student he stands out conspic¬ uously. “Jim” has never “flunked” a course since the day he entered the por¬ tals of A. M.

It is the firm belief of his friends that in life he will follow his chosen profession as consistently as he has in his college career.

This gave him a better understanding of the military conditions in Europe. Due to this knowedge, and, since the outbreak of the European War, he has greatly developed his oratorical abili¬ ties. Many are the fights that he has had with the Allies located on the Cam¬ pus; lately they have come to the agreement that they are not responsible for the faults of their countries. He thinks the U.

SHETLAND “Ruby Lee’s” true love has suffered from his sojourn away from Fort Worth, but he has estab¬ lished a record by coming to college in love and leaving in love with the very same girl.

Not the ordinary kind, but the kind that does. He has made good at A. M. and has every right to hang out hs sign as “Archi¬ tectural Engineer,” but he does not propose to do so yet. He has determined to further develop his engineering talent at Boston. Carl is a good fellow, and is taken as such by all who know him, not just because he is efficient in anything he undertakes, but because he has a smile for all, a disposition that wins, and a com¬ bination of that spirit of service, self-confidence, and independence that makes him a leader. His classmates admire him be¬ cause he is a fighter; because he embodies victorious effort: be¬ cause he is prompt to help a friend, and because he has those virile qualities necessary to win the stern strife of actual life. Even if he does not reach the top, he will have the consolation of haying tried —and this is not a failure. 5 MELROSE TRUETT GARRETT Winnsboro Agronomy Age 23; First Lieutenant Co. “A”; Sergeant Co. “A”; Editor-in-Chief The Battalion; Associate Editor Long Horn; Student Assistant Agronomy Department; Agricultural Editor The Battalion T4-’15; Arrangement Committee Thanksgiving Hop ’15; Member Press Club; North-East Texas Club. MTY As Editor-in-Chief of The Battalion he has given A. M. the best student weekly the College has had in several years. He has been for the past two years Special Correspondent for the Houston Post, assistant to the Publicity Agent, and Stu¬ dent Assistant in the Agronomy Department. As a military man, he was made a Sergeant in Company “A” in his Junior year and First Lieu¬ tenant of that Company in his Senior year. But it is in the “publishing field ’ that Garrett has opened up an entirely new activity for student work and earnings. Literally thousands of laboratory man¬ uals and lecture notes have been published by him in the past two years. Such a record in college needs no ap¬ plause. A man who can do the things he has done, a man who can make the enviable scholastic record he has made, and a man who just¬ ifies and holds the warm friendship of his fellow-students is the highest type of American man¬ hood.

Due to his strong character he is admired and I I loved by every one X connected with the College from Prexy to “Old Uncle Dan Jack- son.” It is with the ladies that his apex of popularity is at¬ tained, but with the corps when he and his team defeated Varsity 13-0. Dur¬ ing all his athletic activities and social successes, which center around San Benito, his academ¬ ic work has always been up to the standard. When the ‘‘Wild Irishman” leaves us in June, A.

CY Here is a perfect example of the languishing, polite, chivalric, southern gentleman; and, besides that, he has ability. He is a fellow who would rather go to Bryan than eat, who would rather read a good book or sit around and “swap dust” than study to-morrow’s lessons, but whose long suit is “ladies,” perhaps better stated, “lady.” He once held a corporalship, but lost it, and since then he has been slated for a clean sleeve, not because he was in¬ capable but because he saw the folly of it all, and didn’t want the stripes. During his Sopho¬ more year, his dis¬ respect of freshmen caused him to be¬ come a member of the “Original 27,” -p,.. and he lost a lap in the race for a sheep- skin. Has a habit of laughing very sweetly, and al¬ though all his Profs, think he’s lazy, he makes good grades. By this we know that he is truly capable. “Cou’se.

SIX-SHOOTER There are two aspects of college life: the scho¬ lastic and the social. Great minds consider the scholastic the most important; but, thank heavens, we are through with that; so let us bring up only pleasant memories. Our friends are the cause of all our fun at college and the most common way we use those friends is to gather them together, to smoke and tell tales. This has become almost a Senior privilege, and we flatter ourselves on having become very proficient in our mastery of this social art. But there are men who stand out even among us in this art like a Cicero among the plebeians, and not the least of these is everybody’s friend, Red Gunn. The maxim follows naturally—‘‘It takes a Gunn to shoot the ‘bull’.” Cliff is an enigma to all but his choicest friends. To them he has unmasked a heart that is as truly noble and unselfish as could be wished for in a brother. He who wins this man’s friendship has made a friend indeed.

SHRIMP Friends, next to knowledge, are the best assets man can have. ‘‘Shrimp” has pursued the knowl¬ edge of Architecture from foundation to ridge¬ pole. He has also made a great many friends, both staunch and lukewarm. In after years, when college days are but a memory, forget not the good fellowship of the friends you made in college; be true to the ad¬ monitions of “Prexy,” and the best of success is yours.

Society; Northwest Texas Club; Sergeant Co. “E”; Corporal Co. “E”; Fish Co. “C.” Leslie started his college career at Polytechnic, but decided he had rather follow a transit than follow Caesar through Gaul. Also, he had a certain weakness for the Co-Eds and decided one year was enough; therefore, he entered A. M. the follow¬ ing year. As a corporal and a sergeant during his Sopho¬ more and Junior years he had great military am¬ bitions but his countenance fell when he read the last promotion list and his name was one of the missing. Nevertheless, Leslie is a studious young man of great ability, being one of the first students who have never taken a subject over. This, with his great abil¬ ity to make friends, causes us to predict a great future for him. J —ua- 6 ; Sergeant “C”; Stu- When Robert entered A. M. he intended to spend four years studying civil engineering. But after a short time he decided that his talents were better fitted for the pursuit of agriculture, and that decision has proven to be wise. Robert thinks that since one does not go to college but once in a life time, he should devote all the time to studies that they demand, and therefore, his academic work has been good. The Education Department early found favor in Robert’s eye; and he has turned a • great deal of his at¬ tention toward pre¬ paring himself for a teacher of agricul¬ ture as well as a practical farmer. In both he has been successful, and says that Fate will never catch him with all of his eggs in one basket. Robert has been a great aid in futhering the moral and religious inter¬ ests of students with whom he came in contact, and will undoubtedly broad¬ en his influence along these lines as time goes on.

KRAUT “Kraut,” as he is affectionately known, is a quiet, unassuming fellow who has a host of friends scattered over the campus.

Ever since he has been here, all the “E-F” athletic teams have been built around him. When a man can stay in one com¬ pany during his en¬ tire college career and hold the various military ranks, with ever increasing pop- ularity, which Charles has, we realize that he is an unusual man. WT attribute this re¬ spect and admira¬ tion in which he is held to the absolute dependence one can place in him and to his strong character.

Incidently, he is a military genius; for he was once a sergeant for two weeks.

Grover will always be remembered for winning the heart of “Bull Hill,” when impersonating Rosa¬ lind in the V. L. C. parade. Grover developed his ora¬ torical ability to a great extent by en¬ tertaining the in¬ mates of South End Foster—after taps —with long and ex¬ citing discussions of the European War, between himself and roommate, “Dutch Ehlert.” Because of Grover’s love for, and his consistent work in Animal PIus- bandry, we predict that in a few years his efforts will be crowned with suc¬ cess and that he will be one of the prom¬ inent and progres¬ sive stockmen of Beeville.

He pos¬ sesses that charac¬ teristic of “digging” for things that are hard to get, and he “digs” until he gets them.

If these worthies could see Killough, they would embrace him as their ideal. For four years Killough has been in our midst, each year making A’s in his studies and taking an active part in College Athletics. Killough is a man among men, a mental as well as a physical Hercules. He is consistent and con¬ scientious, and we shudder to think of what lower classes we would be scattered among now, if it had not been for “Deak’s” helping hand in time of need. Killough has an insight which will serve him well in the future, in fact, we believe he can actually see into the depths of chemistry. At any rate, he has the entire Chem¬ istry Department afraid of him, for more than once he has made laughing stocks of them. “Deak” is well liked by his instructors, and would be liked better if he were not so fond of showing them their mistakes. Seriously, though, they regard him as one of the best men in the class, and, as a unanimous ver¬ dict, it must be right.

Due to this fact, those who know him best are those who are closely associated with him in the classroom, and can appreciate the friendship of this splendid fellow. He is a follower of Dr. Bolton, and when George argues some questions in “Alternating Currents ’ one would think he is a second Steinmetz. George’s earliest ambition was to be a Mechanical Engineer, but a year in the M. E. 2 Class was found to be suff i¬ cient. George’s chance for a high Senior rank was spoiled when Dr. Gordon became too friendly and issued him a flunk in chem- istrv. He is very studious and to this fact can be traced his high standing in all classes. Prob¬ ably no member of the Senior Class has more friends than George and when he leaves this dear old school, he will be conscious of the fact that he has accom¬ plished a very im¬ portant phase of his college career — gaining friends.

Yes, but without the weakness of most “Pats.” He is heir to the throne of neither “King Alcohol” nor “Queen Nicotine.” Still, he has that characteristic smile and with that go towards accumulating friends. “Fish MacFadden,” stand on that wash-basin on one foot and sing for 11 s. “Every Little Move¬ ment Has a Meaning of Its Own.” “Mac” is also a very enthusiastic track man. Each season he blossomed out in his track suit just as the Jay birds began to sing. He is a very gritty little Irishman and on the two-mile track he won his T. -A. M. C. But as an Electrical Engineer “Mac” has won his greatest achievements; and, today, he is pro¬ claimed by his classmates a “Young Steinmetz.” ALTON EARL McGILBERRY Shiro Agronomy Age 21; Senior Private Co. “H”; Ross Volunteer; Athletic Director Co. “H”; Manager Co. “H”; Basketball Team; Vice-President of Scientific Agricultural Association; Junior Private Co. “H” Mail Clerk Co. “H”; Manager “G-H” Baseball Team; First Lieutenant Veterans of Lost Cause; Floor Committee Final Ball; Sophomore Private Co. “A”; Fish Co. “A.” LEFTY A true Texan, big in body, mind, and heart. “Lefty” presents many peculiar characteristics, all of which go to make up a real man well worth knowing. Physically, he will attract attention anywhere, but it is the closer scrutiny that brings out his most valuable asset—his personality. Out¬ wardly, he is careful and happy-go-lucky, but, when one glimpses beyond this mere shell of in¬ difference and sees the true character embedded therein, a very different aspect is brought to light. His good-naturedness, whole heartedness, and sin¬ cerity have endeared him to his classmates, and his graduation will leave a vacancy in the activities of this college that will not be an easy matter to fill. Like all of us, he has faults, for he is human, but we feel no hesitancy in predicting that our confidence in this man’s ability will never be shaken.

He spent one summer on a large dairy farm in New York and for the past year has been the college representative for the American Jersey Cattle Club in Register of Merit work in Texas.

At the opening of school in September, 1912, an innocent looking large western hat was seen com¬ ing across the campus. In close examination it proved to be supported by an equally innocent freshman. This freshman was no other than our own “P. P.” Under “Rusty” Dowell’s tutorage, “P. P.” was brought up as a “Fish” should be, and soon learned when it was time for him to speak and then keep still. He is a true veteran of “K” Co., having spent his en- ti.e four years in dear old Milner Hall. As a student ie s qu ' t 6 assumingfellow, and liked by all. More¬ over he has original ideas, and still uses his brains to think, a habit some of us never learn. As to “P. P.” making a success of his chosen profession, we do not entertain the least doubt. Our only regret is in seeing A. M. lose such a good man, but, this is more than offset by the fact that what A. M. will lose, the State of Texas will gain. 6 Age 22; Senior Private Co. “C”; Junior Private Co. “C”; Sophomore Private Co. “C”; Fish Co. “C”; Mail Clerk ’14-T5; Veteran Lost Cause; Brazos County Club; “466” Club; S.

MALCOLM natured, happy-go-lucky, always ready with a smile and a good word, not brilliant,we would say, but blest with the qualities of perseverance, steadiness, and devotion to his work—such may be the summing-up of Charles B. Martin. “C. B.” did not start out to turn the world over in a day or to play the grandstand game in life. He is deliberate, steady and sure in his advancement. He was never blest with the brilliancy of his fellow-class¬ mates, yet none could ever excell him in the unswerving determination to win over all diffi¬ culties. In so far as his college work is concerned,“C. B.’s” past has been strewn with thorns rather than with roses; but the great t hin g about Charlie is that he has surmounted all difficulties and is schedu ' ed to gradu¬ ate in the allotted four years. “C.B.’s” greatest desire is to be a farmer with an A.

From Tam¬ pico a more modest and less conspicuous man made his way to this institution, and today his light still shines pleasantly in the memories of the corps. Having buck¬ ed New York So¬ ciety for the last four summers, “Shuck” has never been conspicuous in local society — he made his social trips to Corsicana and Houston. Indeed, he is quite devoted to his work except when the “Nut” Club is in session, being a charter member of that or¬ ganization. In the military line, “Shuck ’’ has proved his ability, having won a medal and having held many ranks.

PEN When we think of “Pen,” we think of a man who has been successful in everything he has under¬ taken. The records show that he has no grade below a “B” in any subject. When he made first place on the International Stock Judging Team he reached the climax of his Animal Husbandry course—the ultimate goal for which all Senior Animal Husbandry men strive so hard. His mili¬ tary ability is in proportion, and as an example of this ability, it might be mentioned that he held down the diffi¬ cult positionof First Sergeant in such a manner as to reflect great credit to him¬ self. It is the con¬ sensus of opinion that he is the pre¬ eminent tennis play¬ er of the entire corps. When we review all these things and consider the host of intimate friends he has, we reach the conclu¬ sion that Metcalfe is an unusually strong man in every way and one whose fr iendship is to be coveted. z c : JAMES VICTOR MEYER Flatonia Horticulture Age 23; Captain Co. “F”; Sergeant Co. “F”; Corporal Co. “H”; Xmas Fish Co. “H”; R.

Although Plerman has somewhat a reserved nature, the many friends he makes are true and lasting. He has justly earned the reputation as a good student during his four years in college, and has always been known to act upon his own judg¬ ment—regardless of the opinions of others. The best wishes of the 1916 class are with him in what¬ ever business he may enter after leaving college, as we understand he intends entering the business world as a lifework.

His congenial simplicity is one of his most allurmg assets, and has aided his sincerity in making friends with the whole corps. George is not emotional, but in due season he is sentimental, and quite often we observe him mak¬ ing trips to Bryan. There’s a reason too. “Blondy” would probably impress a casual observer as being a good stu¬ dent, and a glance at the Registrar’s books would make every one positive of his academic abilities, for he has always made good grades, and has the honor of being a distinguished stu¬ dent. Throughout his college career he has been a good, clean man, and has taken a commend¬ able part in nearly all college activities.

JOP Gentle reader, pause for a moment before this portrait. You see here the likeness of one who for four long years has held forth in the historic walls of Pfeuffer Hall. For four years his voice has been lifted day and night as he expounded upon the philosophies of life and the psychology of the hu¬ man race. Day and night he has argued the pro¬ found questions of politics, ethics, economics, the fourth dimension, and every other problem that has puzzled the mind of man since the beginning of time. Like that other famous hot air artist: “In arguing too, the parson owned his skill. For even though vanquis h e d, he could argue still; While words of thunderous length and learned sound Amazed the gazing rustics gathered round.” But now that he is leaving a gloom is cast over these walls and the company with which he has spent the best years of his life realizes that it is losing a man and a friend. o Animal Husbandry Age 22; Senior Private Co. “D”; Sergeant Co. “D”; Corporal Co. “D”; Freshman Co. “D”; A.

BULL “Bull” has an unusually cheerful and sunny dis¬ position. He is a man that one can depend upon, whatever the occasion may be. While in high school he demonstrated his ability as an athlete. The above record shows what he has done along this line since entering A. M. Everyone admires a man that has the determination and backbone to work his way through college and keep up with his studies. “Bull” has done this and help¬ ed company athle¬ tics also. Probably no other man in the Senior Class has as many friends as “Bull.” To know him is to love him— one only wishes that he had met him sooner. There is no doubt in our minds but that he will be a success at what¬ ever he may under¬ take. A man with his personality and trustworthiness can¬ not fail. 83) LONGHORN WILLIAM MICHAEL MURPHY Quanah Chemical Engineering Age 21; Senior Private Co. “H”: Junior Private Co. “I”; Corporal Co. “I”; Freshman Co. “I”; Vice-President Chemical Club; Sergeant at Arms Newman Club; Club Booster Economics Club; Reception Committee Thanksgiving Hop ’15; “Cat”; Veteran of Lost Cause; Sergeant-at-Arms Chemical Club; Andrew Moses Literary Society; “I” Co.

This red-headed Irishman is well known and just as well liked. Like the proverbial bad boy in the high school he has not always been the favorite with the instructors but when the final test comes they all respect his ability to deliver the goods. “Mike” likes his fun and was one of the chief instigators in the great profit- sharing organization of “Cats.” WALKER R.

M. He entered A. M. in 1912 coming from the State Orphan’s Home. On his arrival he did not stand around be¬ moaning the fact that because of A. M.’s isolated position it is hard to pay one’s way here. He took the job he could get and because of his faithful¬ ness he soon had a better one. His natural Irish qualities of good humor and optimism, together with his steadiness and thoroughness, have made it pos¬ sible for him to come thru his course in Electrical Engineer¬ ing in four years be¬ sides paying his en¬ tire way even though handicapped by weak eyes. The sur¬ prising thing is that with all his work he still has time to mix with and to listen to the troubles of the other man. The corps of cadets takes its hats off to men like Floy O’Brien, for it realizes true greatness in him. N 6 % Glee Club T1-T2, T2-T3, T3-T4; P. H. H. R. PAT “This happy enthusiast, from his varied store Enlarged the former narrow bounds And added length to solemn sounds With Nature’s mother-wit, and arts unknown before.” His life at A. M. has been one continuous ex¬ planation. The “rams” he has eliminated are as numerous as the sands of the sea shore. The beau¬ tiful, well trimmed lawns of the campus are his handiwork. “Pat” is a versatile actor. He is a musical extravaganza, a fa.rcial comedy, and a tragedv all combined. He saws on his violin with the calm precision of a South Sea ty- phoon kissing the murmuring waves. And the melodies that come from this luckless instrument are rivaled only by his falsetto voice, as he wanders with Enrico in flights of grand opera. “Pat” never trou¬ bled his brain with studying, preferring the slower process of absorption. He will long be remem¬ bered by the many friends he leaves be¬ hind, as a good fel¬ low and an enter¬ tainer unexcelled.

Owen is a conscientious student and has acquired a student • -r—■■ reputation as a “doer” in every- w. -- thing he has at¬ tempted. “Aussy” possesses a common weakness or rather has an in¬ clination to spread the stuff quite free¬ ly. Nevertheless, he has a right to be proud of his power to make and keep friends. 6 A quiet and an unassuming, yet an aggressive young man, is this boy from Goodnight and the land of the whispering Norther and of the waving wheat fields. “Pat” is an Electrical Engineer, and, in his class work as well as in other activities, he takes a leading part. His record is an enviable one. He has never had a deficiency, and he conquered with ease the “Bugbears” of the engineering stu¬ dent—Calculus and Chem. la. “Pat ’’made practically all his college expenses by working. In his “Fish” year he was Gen’l Sup’t of the College Creamery. In his Sophomore and Junior years he was night operator of the College Tele¬ phone Exchange, and in his Senior year he was in the employ of the E. E. Dept. “Pat” has shown that he is capable of doing anything he undertakes, and we predict that a few years from now he will be doing some¬ thing big and worth while.

RUNT Everybody knows “Runt” Pedigo because he plays a horn larger than he is. His name reminds one of spaghetti, but, from a study of his pedigree, we find that he is not related to fair Italy. He is not a person whom we may call a ladies’ man, but two years ago he held sway over the heart of a beautiful damsel. “Runt” felt great discomfort over this love affair, because the young lady always wanted to be near him, and this Pedigo resented, but finally was subdued by the higher laws of love. Pedigo came to College from T. C. U. where he was taking a literary course. However, no one is aware that he had been in touch with literature. Pedigo loves to study, but there is one thing he likes more, that is to follow “Old Beck.” He will be a feeder of the world as he expects to put his scientific knowledge of Agriculture into prac¬ tice. “Runt” will make good because he sticks to anything he undertakes.

As an expounder of superheated atmosphere he stands in a class only attained by few and frequently bombards his room¬ mate with stories of wonderful adven¬ tures. He is a per¬ manent fixture of the annual dances, knows all the fancy steps, and has in¬ vented some of his own. He always creates a big fuss among the ladies, but as yet none of them have been able to find the way to his heart.

As a man, he is hon¬ est, conscientious, hard working, and an all round good fellow. He num¬ bers his friends by his acquaintances, for only to know him is to like him. He is ever-ready to help a friend, and to those in need he is a friend indeed. In his journey thru life he will have the best wishes of the class of 1916. l_ _________ £ v Belton Horticulture Age 21; Senior Private Co. “D”; Veteran Lost Cause; Sophomore Private Co. “D”; Freshman Co. “D”; Horticultural Society ' 14, ’15, ’16; Secretary- Treasurer Bell County Club ’13-’16; Manager Co. “D” Basketball ’16. PAUL Paul to the outside world appears to be a fellow with a pleasing personality, sunny disposition, and the ability to accomplish anything he attempts. To his classmates, and to all who kn ow him well, he is not only the above, but he is more. He is a friend to those who need a friend. Do not get the idea, however, that Paul is simply a good fellow. To a mind that inquires into the way and wherefore of things, annex a capacious memory for bugs and their scientific names, to this add a bushel of horse sense, and we have the Paul known by the professors. Dear reader, from the above it might seem that Paul is a model fellow. He is far from the mythical standard. He is just human with the good and bad in him that is common to the gen¬ us homo. That is why he will always be loved and re¬ membered by his classmates of 1916. z c LONGHORN JAMES SAMUEL RICHARDSON Dairy Husbandry Age 25; Private Co. ‘‘E” ’lo-’16; Private Co. “F” ’14-’15; Private Co. “F” ’13-’14; Private Co. “F” ’12-’13; Veteran of Lost Cause; Secretary East Texas Club. RICH All of us have our boyhood ambitions for a great career. “Rich’s” earliest ambition was to be a pharmacist. “Rich” was reared on a dairy farm, and Jerseys, like pretty girls, are irresistable. He could not forget his life on the farm even though he developed an abnormal appetite for ice cream; so he entered the A. M. College determined to solve the mysteries of ice cream production. “Rich” has made a host of friends in the college both among the student body and among the faculty. In the fall of 191.5 he was chosen as one of the number of students to repre¬ sent the college in dairy demonstra¬ tion work at the Dallas Fair. On this trip, he won second place in a contest for scoring dairy products. He holds an enviable record as a student. He has been classed as a clear student during the whole four years in A. M.

EDDIE “Eddie” is one of the quietest and most conser¬ vative men on the campus, but having once gained his confidence and fr iendship, you have something to be justly proud of. He has a remarkable disposition and the wonderful ability of making friends and keeping them. “Ed¬ die” showed his ability early in his career and was re¬ warded with one of the most important ranks in the corps, that of captain of “K” Company. He shares his confi¬ dence with few men and his true na¬ ture is not carried on the surface, but those who know him will, like the men of “K” Com¬ pany, swear by him. He has mastered that most desirable of a company cap¬ tain, viz: to main¬ tain discipline and yet retain the friend¬ ship of the men in his command.

JACK Some men attain success by possessing unusual ability, but the true road to success is to make the world believe in your ability whether you possess it or not. Jack has convinced us that he is a cap¬ able man. World, it is up to you to prove that he is not. Jack has chosen the life of a ranchman as the road to a place among the millionaires. Jack is a student of modern art, and has become espe¬ cially proficient in the greatest of these, “The art of getting by.” Robert treats everybody fairly. He is an honest democrat, and a sincere lover of justice. He loves his friends for what they are,— not for what he can get out of them; more than that, he loves his closest friends for what he can do for them. This is Jack.

With a rare sense of humor, he can tell a good story or appreciate one with the same gusto, and no one is bashful in his presence. With the determination of making a Mechanical Engineer of himself he started a s a Freshman, and his election to the presidency of the M. E. Society attests his success in that direction. The social activi¬ ties of this young man seem to be con¬ fined to his home town, Ganado. The regularity of letters to and from this place is ample proof of the above state¬ ment. With his proven ability and great personality, “Doc” is bound to succeed wherever he goes.

Joe has learned much since his Senior career started. Above all he has discovered a place he calls Union Hill. What “Joe” has monopolized there is hard to say, but we will vouch it is something worth going after. Second¬ ary to this, is his knowledge of cattle guards on the Bry- an Interurban. Since falling thru several that were full of water, he carries a portable electrical plant with him. “Joe” was too timid to put on his Senior honors the fact that he is champion chess player of the campus. His love for the game has led him to tackle such men as “Pee Wee” and “Old Deak.” Here’s hoping for “Joe’s” success in the Civil Engineering world.

As a member of the “Frock Tail Five” and the “Nuts,” he reached a pinnacle. However, his mili¬ tary ability is un¬ doubted, and the fact that he is a clear Senior shows that his entire time is not taken up with society. His ad¬ venturous spirit was well brought out by his New Braunfels, European, and Cal¬ ifornian escapades.

His classes have troubled him much less than his “ affairs,” and his exams much less than the hops. Fate, Texas, so Horace tells us, is on the other side of Dallas, in which place his ticket always allows for stop-overs on his numerous trips home. Whether his motive be serious or for amusement we cannot say, but we know he dreams of these ‘stop-overs” weeks in advance. Mentally and phy¬ sically, Horace is well equipped for service as civil and highway engineer. He is tall and sup¬ ple; possesses a “keen intellect.” He is a good fellow and whenever he thinks that he can spare the time, he is there for any kind of rough house. Yz x.

RED Raphael Mondra, the noted “F” Co. social gangster, has two noteworthy faults: love of danc¬ ing and “hospital rushing.” This last is a sport that has come out only in the past year. What the attraction is no one has as yet ascertained. How¬ ever, “Doc” Ehlinger, the noted gum shoer, has found out “Red” is a secret boozer. He claims this is the missing link between the loss of a great many cocktails and Red’s presence at the infirmary. Other than these bad habits, “Red” has none. “Red’s” one great sorrow was the failure to pass the entrance requirements for the chess team. His one honor was won during his Jun¬ ior year when he won the long dis¬ tance, volume, and accuracy records of “F” Co. Tobacco Spitters’ Club. Red considers this as quite an honor as he has to compete with such men as Penrose Metcalfe, and other big Meth¬ odists.

Although a minus quantity in Military Affairs “Reg” has been a student of remarkable ability in his chosen course. He is seldom found doing anything oth¬ er than increasing his knowledge of electricity.

Between the acceptance of this or the finishing of his Master of Science degree, he has not yet decided. “Bill” has also com¬ bined athletic abil¬ ity with scholastic efficiency.

Clyde doesn’t leave any academic “rec¬ ords” in the college annals, but he is one of those kinds of students upon whom the instruct¬ ors like to depend. Could the college boast of more grad¬ uates of the Slay type, it could justly say its purpose was being fulfilled, for this is the kind of a man who makes us the most valuable citizen.

Of the several factors con¬ tributing to “Steve’s” appointment, only a few can be mentioned here. “Steve” talks but little, but what he says he means, and he will support it with all the power of his conviction. When he makes up his mind, in the great majority of cases, he is right and he never hesi¬ tates to act deci¬ sively. “Steve” isn’t the kind of a man that makes a friend one day and forgets him the next, but when he chooses a friend, he makes his choice “for keeps.” And one of the very best things about “Steve” is the fact that the more one knows him the bet¬ ter’one likes him.

Hendon has many admirable traits. Chief among these is his high regard and esteem for all womankind. He is truly a Gentleman of the Old School. “Tom” is also one of the wittiest men in his class.

He speaks the Mexican language as fluently as a native, and his adeptness in the art of singing Spanish songs has character¬ ized him at College. Wellage has been usually identified in student activities, being associated with the A. M.

During his Sophomore and Junior Years he was hindered in his natural activities by his mili¬ tary ranks, but now in his Senior year, when mili¬ tary duties are the least of his few troubles, he en¬ joys life to the fullest extent. He usually finds enough amusement in things to keep his neighbors awake un til late in the night. For three years Jesse has been an active competitor for a place on the football squad and as a re¬ ward for his ability he was awarded a gold football in his Senior year. White has hopes of becoming an effi¬ cient E.

WIP “Nobody loves a fat man” is an old legend but from the number of trips “Wip” makes to Houston we are inclined to believe that there is an exception to this rule. “Wip” is a big easy-going fellow, satisfied with life, ever ready to help anyone. Read has a heart as big as a mule and is a good man to have for a friend. That “W T ip” is a capable student is shown in the fact that after one year as an architect he heard the call of the soil and changed his course to “bug hunting” and is do¬ ing in three years what we are doing in four. “Wip’s” time is nearly all taken up as he has a heavy course, looks after the com¬ press in Bryan, and makes his regular trips to Houston. Read’s friends think he should be chef instead of a farmer because he is some cook. Many are the feasts enjoyed in his room behind drawn shades and closed doors. i-i X-J LOFTIN VERDERY WITCHER Fort Worth Horticulcure Age 21; Class Historian; Associate Editor Long Horn ’16; Ross Volunteer; Senior Private Co. “B”; Vice-President Horticultural Society ’16; Y.

FATTY To everyone, Loftin is the same—quiet, reserved, friendly, and sincere; and his personality is such that he will command attention in any walk of life. His pleasant smiles and friendly greetings aie attributes that will win him friends anywhere. He is the sort of man that to know - him means to like him, and his friend¬ ship is a valuable asset well worth the keeping. That Witcher is an adept student is convinc¬ ingly shown by the enviable record he has made for him¬ self here in his four years of college work. He has built up the foundation of successful career. But above all other honors that might be mentioned “Fatty” is looked upon as a true friend by his class¬ mates, a high trib¬ ute to any man’s character.

Ralph has been a very industrious, earnest, hard working student, for which he has been branded as one of the strongest men in the senior class. He is a stock judge of State-wide repu¬ tation, having been high man in several contests, and offi¬ ciated as judge at several district and county fairs, at which he gave per¬ fect satisfaction. All this reached a cli¬ max when he made the International Stock Judging Team. He has many friends on the campus and none ever called on him for help and were turned away. He is a type of man that is sure to make his mark in the world. I I When the roll of the Junior Class was called in September, 11)14, it was found that there were several members of the Class missing. Among these names was that of Claude Noel Pitts. His death was caused by the fracturing of the skull at the base of the brain. This unfortunate accident came from being thrown from a horse at 6:30 on the morning of Monday, July 14, 1011. tfitts was a man of excellent character; he won a place in the hearts of everyone who had the pleasure to meet him. His death occurred at an inopportune time, yet he died with no fear in his heart of his God. ,y (105) Senior (Tlass 1916 P. H. OLSON..........President A. C. BULL.........Vice-President T. F.

From a four- year experiment in hu¬ man equations, where all sorts and manner of men have withstood all sorts and manner of reactions the Master Chemist has brought forth results with which we can hardly be displeased. The Class of T6 served its “fish- hood” days under the “old regime.” We suffered the disheartening effects of the notorious T3 Strike, when our roster was more than decimated, many of our best students and athletes taken from us, and when there was admin¬ istered the bitterest of doses of “con¬ stituted authority.” L c (108) LONGHORN And through the fol¬ lowing years the read¬ justment to the altered conditions and the ac- A ceptance of the abolition of hazing were complete and were received by the ’16 men with graceful at¬ titude. c The second class year came and went. The Junior Banquet and all attendant circumstances were the source of the greater part of the good will and fra¬ ternal spirit that the T6 Class has en¬ joyed since the triumphal march down Misery Avenue on the night of March 2, 1915. (109) LONGHORN Our Senior days have come and we tread the well worn paths of men of former days, we heed the landmarks and blaz- ings they have left be¬ hind and pass forward down the trail. If, in our serious efforts and al¬ truistic intentions, we can form new and better ideals, can open to fol¬ lowing classes a broader and clearer vision, can will to them a heritage of higher and purer en¬ deavor, we pass out the sheltering portals of our beloved college with con¬ tentment in our hearts and the consciousness in our minds of a task well done. y (110) .

Our leaders were chosen wisely; G. B. Hooker, President; L. L. Kotzebue, Vice-Presi¬ dent, and H. H. Johnson, Historian. June of our second year closed the first half and we looked back, unashamed, at the record we had made. Our athletes had acquitted themselves well on gridiron, track and diamond, distinguished stu¬ dents appeared in our ranks, and our youthful enthusiasm had merged into a broader and deeper feeling toward our alma mater. Jack Shelton held the reins of class government, with M. S. Duncan his capable assistant, and E. O. Youngblood Secretary-Treasurer. This, our third quarter, included the memorable “13-0” event and on the roster of the “Unforgettable Fourteen” stand the names of six Juniors. Jack Shelton was re-elected, giving him P. G. Haines as Vice-President and Merlin Mitchell Secretary-Treasurer. We are entering the final quarter, able, strong and unspent, waiting to assume the duties and responsibilities of the “Reigning Class” next September. And when the final whistle blows and the game ends, the 1917 numerals will be written large in the annals of our college. HE whistle blew and the first quarter opened, September, 1913.

And you ask how we were represented on the athletic teams, whether we captured the Junior Toastmaster, and, in general, what have been the chief activities of the Class. Well, frankly, you deserve an absolute refusal for not having written sooner, but at present we are rejoicing so greatly in the deeds of our Class that we needs must proclaim them from the housetops, and incidentally, even you may have an ear full. The first three months, as far as the T8 Class was concerned, were practically the same old routine. Of course we held our elections in which, by the way, Hugh Brooks was re-elected President with Tim Griesenbeck Vice-President and Shorty Seymour Secretary. It is un¬ necessary to tell you that those are the best officers of all the classes n school because you know them and that’s enough. Speaking of the athletes, Bo, this class has got ’em! We have the “makings” for several All-Southern teams next year and the year after. Recently Coach Driver (he’s a new one, by the way) held an inter-class track meet in which the athletes from all four classes competed for a cup. The Seniors won it as a result of their extra two years of college coach¬ ing, while the Sophs took second place purely on the natural ability of their untrained men. The best achievement of the Sophs this year, however, was not in the class politics nor yet in any athletic sport, as great as some of our accomplishments in these lines were, but the best thing we pulled oflf was the abduction of the Junior Toastmaster. I could continue with this chatter for two or three hours, and still be telling of the deeds of this T8 Class, but you know us. We have always been modest and we don’t intend to change at this late day. How¬ ever if‘you want to hear of some great deeds, just keep your eyes open for the next couple of years and we guarantee that you will have sufficient cause to brag that you were once a member of this famous T8 Class of A. M. College. Your friend, A Soph. LONGHORN SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL T. C. ALDERSON . . Katy A. H. ALEX . . . Yorktown H M. AMSLER . Hempstead F. S. ANDERSON . . . . Mineral Wells G D. ANDERSON . Dallas H.

But this condi¬ tion cannot last. We are making history very rapidly and we are startled when the idea that we have a history strikes us. In September, 1915, the largest collection of Fish that has ever been seen here, gathered on the A. M. Campus. There were all kinds, shapes and sizes, from boys in knee trousers to old men. We went through the necessary motions of being registered and assigned to companies. It was there that we got our first taste of military. And from the appearance of the first drill grades the most of us were not intended to be soldiers, although some few did make high enough marks to be allowed to put in applications for corporal- ships. In athletics, our class has made a reputation which will stand until A. M. ceases to be a College. Two of our classmates won “TV’ in football and several more were kept on the squad to form a base on which the future team will be built. And if anyone doubts the value of these men on the team and squad let him ask Coach Harlan, “What would you have done without your Fish?” Fresh¬ men are also showing up well in all other branches of athletics. The class as a whol e is well pleased with A. M. and the present prospects are that our class will, all through our four years here, continue to be the largest class in the history of this College.

We are hoping that the following pages will be of some small interest to the men who are scattered through the commercial world, but whose memory still hearkens back to their years of pastime and pleasure spent at A. M. The Alumni Association of the A. M. College was organized in 1886, just ten years after the opening of the College, with a membership of eighty-eight. From that time the Association has been in¬ creasing at the rate of about one hundred per year, and today we have graduates of this College in every country of the world. We take this opportunity of making an announcement to the readers of the Longhorn concerning the Alumni publica- LONGHORN tion to be edited at College Station by Mr. N. M. McGinnis, ’08, who will hold the newly created office of College Alumni Secretary. The first issue of this pub¬ lication came out the latter part of March and the second issue will come from press about two weeks before commencement. The Alumni will be called on for no subscription price. All that the Alumni Secretary requests is that you keep him supplied with your correct address. This publication is designed for alumni and will be of interest to alumni only. It will contain articles by alumni and news items concerning alumni, with the idea of keeping them in touch not only with each other, but also of acquainting them with affairs at College Station and the needs of A. M. We are hoping that the alumni will contribute freely to the columns of this paper and will co-operate with the editor, Mr. McGinnis, in making ft H. HUNT, ’12 p.t. McGinnis, ' it W.L.STANGEL IS j LONGHORN F.K.McGINNIS.’OO it of great assistance both to the Alumni and to the College. n n F. W. Hensel took his B. S. A. degree in ’07 and was Editor-in-Chief of the Longhorn of that year. The following year he was Deputy Nursery Inspector in this State. He spent one year on the Beeville Sub-Station and later, in 1912, took graduate work at Ames, Iowa. In T3 and T4 he attended Cornell University and received his M. S. degree there in T4. He is now Associate Professor of Horti¬ culture at College Station. H.LOlMItN.’ll n n N. M. McGinnis, ’08, attended Cornell University in 1910 and from 1910 to 1915 was professor of Agriculture at C. I. A. In 1915 he came to College Sta- C (144) tion to accept the associate profes¬ sorship in Horticulture and also to take charge of the newly-created College Alumni Secretary’s posi¬ tion. It was through Mr. McGinnis’ kind assistance in the securing of pictures and write-ups of the alum¬ ni that the addition of this book to the Longhorn was effected. Without his co-operation and as¬ sistance the Alumni Book would not have been possible. The Long¬ horn management takes this op¬ portunity of thanking him for his services. n n C. J. Holland, T3.

Football. u (241) LONGHORN a coaching staff is able to enter a place for the first time, take charge of a string of green men, none of whom they have ever seen before, and turn out a team proficient enough to defeat a rival team composed of veteran players such as Varsity had, those aforesaid men can proclaim their title of coach anywhere without the least fear of contradiction or criticism. In very plain language, that’s exactly what Harlan and Graves did with this year’s football team. Harlan took charge of the football squad at the beginning of the season, and, with the able assistance of Coach Graves, patiently developed and molded from a conglomeration of practically raw material an invincible machine which on that eventful November L c (242) LONGHORN day, evened up past scores by decisively defeating the Univeristy of Texas 13-0. “Jigger” Harlan comes to us with somewhat of a reputation, having been captain of the Princeton eleven and twice elected to the mythical All-American one year as quarter and next at half. Before coming here, he spent several years coaching Pittsburg University, and his successful teams there doubly vouch for his ability to a coach. Harlin’s personality is a jewel of rare brilliance, and it is to this characteristic in his make-up that he owes most of his success here. Al¬ ways kind and patient with the same cheery smile for all, he has certainly endeared him¬ self to the student body of this college. Graves is a Missouri product; coached at the University of Alabama for several years previous to his coming here. He is wide¬ ly known throughout the Missouri Conference, where he made his place on the Missouri Valley Eleven. Besides being assistant foot¬ ball coach, Graves also turned out a very successful basketball team, and it is to this man’s ability as a coach that we are pinning our faith on defeating Varsity in baseball. Big in body, mind, and heart, “Tubby” has made many friends here, all of whom agree with me in saying that he is “some” coach. As Athletic Director and Track coach, Driver has proven himself a very capable man. His business efficiency is clearly shown by the rapidly increasing bank account to the credit of the Athletic Association, and his coaching ability bids fair towards a winning track team. Like Graves, Driver is also a native of the dubious State, and previous to his debut here was head coach at the University of Mis¬ sissippi, where his record stands for itself. “Jimmy” Clutter, last year’s track coach, needs very little in¬ troduction to us. Clutter is one of the fastest cinder path artists c L 3 (243) LONGHORN ever produced by Ames, and his untiring efforts in behalf of A. M.’s athletics deserve much praise. “Jimmy” is quiet and very small of stature, but, when it comes to energy, he is a regular dynamo. Con Lucid is the man who took charge of baseball last year and built up the team which twice defeated our old rivals, Varsity, last April. Lucid has the knack and understanding of inside baseball rarely exhibited in this part of the country, and his Irish wit is a valuable asset to any athletic team. He is primarily a coach who instills the fundamentals of the game into his men, and the record of last year’s club bears witness to his efficiency along this line. ||fi||ARSiT ' f Butchered 1 M{ m the Greatest OF TH E Se KoW— f o (244) (245) (246) LONGHORN Jfootball the opening of training camp at pects looked bright indeed for an unusually successful football season. There were about seventy-five candidates present, including all of last year’s eligibles together with the best lot of freshman material ever assembled on this campus. In fact, there was such a wealth of material to choose from that the coaches had great dif¬ ficulty in selecting the men for regular positions on the team. The men were thoroughly drilled in Manager Bull the essentials and the College September 12, pros.

In the first two or three games very little was ascertained as to the real strength of the team, since every man on the squad was used in these games and no definite selection of players made until later. In the first game, with Austin College, the team showed exceptionally good form for an early game and demonstrated to the rooters that whoever won the State Championship honors would certainly find an able con¬ tender in the A. M. eleven. A. M..........41 Austin College. . A. M. 62 . c Trinity.. Trinlt y game re¬ vealed very little if anything to the A.

As a scor¬ ing machine in this game, the Farmers covered themselves i ROLLINS L c 248) A. M. T. C. U.. 13 10 LONGHORN with glory, running up a score of sixty-two points and holding their opponents score¬ less. However, it was the T. C. U. game, our first road trip, that brought us up with a jerk and showed us clearly and con¬ clusively that we still had a rocky road ahead before we could boast of downing Varsity. Here, in a sea of mud on a freshly plowed field, after a series of muddled up plays and fumbles, A. M. allowed the Christians to hold them to a 13-10 margin. This was just one of those “off days” which every team experiences, and, although it was a bitter dose for a much inferior team to register ten points against us, at the same time it served to make every man on the team get down to real serious work. BRAUMILLER A. M......33 Rolla Miners. ... 3 The Rolla game was a very pretty exhibition of football from every view point. Both teams put up a spirited fight, the miners fighting to the last minute of play even after defeat was inevitable. This game witnessed (249) LONGHORN s the first real system¬ atic team work shown by our men, the fast end running and line plunging of Imlay featuring for the visi¬ tors. Although we scored thirty - three points to Rolla’s lone field goal, the game was far from being devoid of excitement and thrills. COLEMAN A. M 21 Haskell 7 On the thirty- first of Octo¬ ber we met and defeated the Haskell Braves at Fair Park, Dallas, by a score of twenty-one to seven. The Farmers exhibit¬ ed the same style of football as shown in the Rolla game and played a very con¬ sistent game in the first, al¬ though they slowed up a lit¬ tle in the second half and al¬ lowed the Indians to score. CROW 3? (250) LONGHORN KENDRICK A. M............0 Rice...............7 Now comes the sad part of our story. A. M. journeyed down to the Bayou City, and, hampered by a super¬ fluous amount of “confi¬ dence” and a crippled team, met their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Rice Owls, the one big A blot on the record for the sea¬ son. Like the T. C.

Certain it is that November 19, 1915, is the day which outranks all other days in the minds of cadets and friends of the College. Glad, happy, memories run riot, blood flows faster, enthusiasm and loyalty overleap all bounds when that day is recalled. Certain it is also, that our friends, the Enemy, remember it with no less vivid recollections, but certain it is that they taste none of the sweet¬ ness which flavors the memories of A. M. followers. To them it was a day of defeated hopes, broken pride—and thereby hangs the tale. November 19, 1915, was a great day for many reasons, The largest crowd that ever met on the A. M. College Campus saw Captain Garitty’s Clan of Warriors administer a defeat to the University’s Veteran Team. They saw the College in holiday attire. They observed that the A. M. Regiment is composed of young gentlemen, sons of the first families of the land, who bow to no one in the matter of courtesy and generous hospitality to visitors. They witnessed a splendid exhibition of intense college spirit and loyalty, of keenest rivalry, displayed, however, o (257) LONGHORN high plane. But great¬ er than that they saw a football game that shall excite comment and merit praise as long as the things of the pig¬ skin are heard in the col¬ legiate world. Sport writers in Texas have sung lays of praise to the fighting spirit of the 1915 football eleven of Texas A. M.—a team which came from behind “sure and certain defeat”—which put a brand of fight into that game which has never been surpassed. To go into that game in detail would require the use of all the pages of the Long¬ horn, and this book is published by the Senior Class for the purpose of nurturing happy memories within the breasts of that class. It brings good tidings to alumni and former students, underclassmen, and friends of the College. There isn’t a man of all that lot who doesn’t know the progress of that game from the time “Fannie” Coleman placed his $10,000 toe against the pigskin and sent it sailing through the goal posts for the first score of the contest—then later added three more points to the Aggie’s lead with another beautiful kick. They remember that— and—then they can picture in their minds that hole in the Univer¬ sity line which opened up big enough to drive a wagon through—with “Fish” Collins hugging the ball against his A X Brtnqmq home the bacon. (258) LONGHORN Hi loLU s’ ■PUMTI IsJCr VVA S TE IFIC crimson and white Jersey, passing through University territory unscathed and put¬ ting the ball down fairly be¬ tween the goal posts. And then while A. M. rooters rocked the stands with wild cheers Jim Kendrick made the last score of the game Th s l | and wrote across the records of In¬ tercollegiate Athletics—“A. M. 13 —University 0.” What won the game in the face of 3 to 1 odds? Here’s your answer: Faith —The corps believed in the ultimate triumph of the Crimson and White and were with the team to a man. Fight —There were fourteen men in V )l?s|-rr FtMT Bled So J u c LONGHORN that game—every man fought like a demon. Ability —You could never con¬ vince a member of the Longhorn eleven that the Aggie eleven was lacking in ability. Fumbles by the Longhorns were caused by fierce tackling, and booting that was superb. Generalship —A. M. knew that there was but one way for her to win that game—by fierce defensive play—and a kicking offensive play. In generalship the Ag¬ gies far outdistanced their rivals, older and more experienced foot¬ ball men. Johnnie Garitty was inspired that day and never was such a leader born as he showed him¬ self that afternoon. True, he had a bad ankle and two broken ribs, but there wasn’t a crack in his determination— and the men who fought with him became inspired. The Irishman and Jim Kendrick broke up play after play—spilled runner after runner and went down the field like demons under kicks and passes.

M. line were not to be found. Jim Crow’s tackling was es¬ pecially fierce and more than one bruised Long- horn grumblingly ascribed the cause of his soreness to Jim’s work. Nick Braumiller has been a tower of strength on every team of which he has been a member. Without his tackling, he played in the secondary defense and without his work as guard A. M. might have had another story. “Dutch” Eschenburg as the other guard gave a good account of himself. “Rail Head” Joe Rogers, playing against the famed Ditmar, smeared him. Remember that if the line had not held, kicks would have been ruined, and Collin’s touchdown impossible. Burns at quarter displayed rare generalship and played consistent ball. Collins, Rollins and Coleman started the game. Faithful “Dough,” around whom most of the offensive plays were built, played only a short time when he was retired from the game on account of injuries. Gilfillan was sent to replace him and gave them the best he had in store although a bad ankle kept him from showing up to standard. Merlin Mitchell replaced “Gilley,” and Rylander went in for “Dutch” Eschenburg in the last few moments of play. The story of that game would be far from complete without saying that “Jig¬ ger” Harlan, head coach, and “Tubby” Graves, assistant, figured extensively in that game. They had analyzed the University play and every man had been instructed as to how to meet the attack. Too much praise cannot be given to the manager, Abe Bull, who was always on the job working for the best of the tea ! VWS TY Root AFTZ.K THE G-AME u (261) LONGHORN • y HE prospects at the opening of the basketball season were W J the brightest A. M. ever had. With men like the Brau- miller brothers, Settegast, Burkett, Gilfillan, Hanson, Ken¬ drick and Barnes of the old squad and with men like Weaver, Boze¬ man, Thompson, Starnes, Rogers and Litterst to draw from our success was assured. Never before has A. M. boasted of as well- balanced a team or of as bril- liant individual players. The schedule confronting the team was a good fast one on which the following teams were played on our home court: East Texas Normal, Southwestern Eniver- sity, Decatur College, Baylor University, Tulane University U (2G2) LONGHORN and Rice Institute. On the road trip we met the following teams: Baylor University, Dallas University, and Rice Institute. Our team met Baylor in four games, Rice in three and Tulane in two. Texas University was not played because of their refusal to meet us except on an outdoor court in Austin and indoors at College Station. We offered to meet them on a neutral court in Houston indoors. This offer was refused and, since no agreement could be reached, the games were can¬ celled. With a straight string of eleven vic¬ tories and only two defeats, the season (263) LONGHORN will always be looked upon as a success. Prospects for the State Championship were bright until the last two days in Houston—we lost two games to Rice. No excuses, “alibis” or “scapegoats” were offered for our fall, unless it was the fact that we were playing on a strange court away from home and at the end of a hard trip. The first five games of the season were won by large scores but our first real battle was not reached until the first Rice game. This was by far the best game seen on the home court and will always be remembered as one of the most exciting athletic contests ever witnessed by the corps. On February 14 the team left for a week’s trip around the State. Games were staged in Waco, Dallas and Houston. From both an athletic and pleasure standpoint the trip was a success. The team put up at good hotels and the trip was so arranged that the players had time in the cities visited to enjoy themselves. Bay¬ lor was met and defeated in both games. In the second game with Baylor we re¬ ceived our first real scare—the final score was 24-22. This score, however, does not indicate the true comparison of the two games. Dallas University was an easy victim, yet they put up a plucky fight throughout the contest. The first defeat of the season came February 18 in Houston when Rice trimmed us 16-9. We came back strong the next night and held a good lead until the last few minutes of Z) L c (2G4) LONGHORN play. Rice nosed out in the final 30 seconds of the game. Score 24-22. Too much cannot be said of the playing of Nick and Walter Braumiller, nor of Settegast, Gilfillan and Burkett. These men were stars in practically every game. Other men, Hanson, Kendrick and Barnes par¬ ticipated in a majority of the games and to these men should go the credit of develop¬ ing defense of our team. They were al¬ ways on hand to deliver the goods when called upon to do so, and without them our aggregation would have been greatly handicapped. To pick an out¬ standing star would be a difficult task since every man on the team was a brilliant player. ' S s graduate in June, namely, Nick and Walter Braumiller, and Hanson, will be hard to re¬ place and their absence next year will be keenly felt. Every army has its great general: a man who cares for and watches over the destinies of the men under his command. The basketball team can well boast of its “guard¬ ian angel,” for much of the success of this team LONGHORN may be attributed to the efficient managerial ability shown during this season by Jennings Crocker. A great factor in the success of the Farmer season was the flaw¬ less coaching of D. V. Graves. Although a new coach, he at once adapted himself to the new conditions and was a success. H. J. Burkett is captain-elect and under his guidance the 1917 Champion¬ ship bids fair to be ours. (26G) LONGHORN A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M A. M Ol)£ Season . . .62 E. T.

MANAGER SCOTT, ’15 1 ___ _________ MANAGER RUNG E, ’16 2 (2G8) LONGHORN Orian ular The first meet of the season was a triangle composed of A. M., Texas and Rice held at College Station on Kyle Field in the first week of April. The track was in the finest kind of condition which was evidenced by the records equalled and broken. It is unusual for records to be broken so early in the season. Texas came out ahead with 693 points; A. M. second with 41 and Rice last with (2G9) r n 14J . The sensation of the meet was the winning of the 440 by Joe Turner in 52 3-5 seconds. This was the fastest quarter that has been run in the State for several years. Paul Haines broke the State shot-put record when he made a put of 41 feet inches. Hans Rothe tied the State record in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet inches. Captain Everett, just out of the hospital, won second place in the high hurdles which was remarkable for a man in his condition. Mitchell and Collins tied for second place in the 100-yard dash coming out only one foot behind the winner. Nick Braumiller was not in shape for this meet and took third place in the shot-put but did not place in the discus hurl. Schuchardt, out of form, tied for third place in the pole vault. The meet was the most successful one held on Kyle Field—there being no waits and disputes and the track was admitted by the vis¬ itors to be the fastest in the State. (270) r LONGHORN State 52teet After another month of hard training we went to Waxahachie for the State meet. This meet was hotly contested throughout. Six records were broken, two of them by A. M. men. Turner broke the State record in broad jump with a leap of 21 feet 7 inches. Brooks broke the State Record in the pole vault by climbing up to 11 feet SJ g inches. All three places in this event were won by A. M. men. Schuchardt came second and Rothe third, both clearing 10 feet 9 inches. Braumiller won the discus by a hurl of 114 feet. While he was not given credit for it in the meet, Mitchell fur¬ nished the real sensation of the day. He won his preliminary in the c 5 100-yard dash in 9 4-5 seconds. Then repeated the performance in the finals, beating Frame of Texas, but due to an insufficient number of judges at the finish, the races was run over. Mitchell, who was exhausted from the strain of the first race, took third place. Haines won second place in the shot-put with ease, putting it 41 feet 4 inches. Everett won third place in the low hurdles. He was immediately behind Littlefield in the high hurdles and made Littlefield break the State record to beat him, but he knocked down too many hurdles and was disqualified. Everett also tied for third place in the high jump. Our relay team, composed of Mogford, Rogers, deMontel and (272) LONGHORN b; “Bullet” A4oses, won second place. “Bullet” Moses was our last man to run and his man had a fifteen yard lead on him, but “Bullet” caught and passed him. Then Scurlock of Texas barely nosed out ahead of Moses at the finish. Score: Texas 5034; A. M. 2834; Rice 20345 Baylor 13; Simmons 10; and Southwestern 334- (273) LONGHORN s Southwestern (Touference Mleet The season ended with the Southwestern Conference meet which was held in Austin. Since our men had not fully recovered from the meet held the week before, we only carried off third place. The most thrilling event of the meet was the relay race. As in the State Meet, Moses was again the star. He broke the record in the quarter, but his man had such a big lead that “Bullet” could not possibly win the race. Brooks had little trouble in winning the pole vault—Schuchardt taking second place in this event. Mitchell showed up fine in the j ( 274 ) LONGHORN!j ] 220 dash and finished an unusually close second. Haines took second in the shot-put and Nick Braumiller won second place in the discus with a heave of 119 feet. “Pete” Everett came out third in the high hurdles with a regular blanket finish. Score: Texas University 48%; Oklahoma University 43; Texas A. M. 21; Rice 6%; South¬ western 4; Oklahoma A. M. 3; and Baylor 0. The success of the team was largely due to the coaching of J. A. Clutter, who donated his services for the welfare of the team. Not enough praise can be given Manager Scott for his untiring efforts that he put forth toward financing the team.

The first game was not won without difficulty, but. the Dummies came back with a surprise the second day. Olson and Skeelerworked effectively in the box. “Fish” Thodberg showed form in the outfield while the infield was not working perfectly and reg¬ istered several errors. (279) LONGHORN A. M. .2-11 Rice...... 3-4 After a week spent in hard work correcting faults found in the preceding games, we met Rice in Houston. Our team showed good form, but they were working against that “Rice Hoodoo.” Captain Cherry starred in the first game by driv¬ ing to left field fence a three-base hit, said hit re¬ sembling a home run. Our team came back strong in the second game and defeated the Owls by spectacular fielding and heavy hitting. W. J. Skeeler’s pitching was not of the quality that will be easily forgotten by Rice. The best hitting for A. M. was done by Powers, who scored four hits, Cherry made a home run and a single while Cole¬ man registered a two-sacker and a clean “Texas Leaguer.” Rigney was the man of the hour, mak¬ ing ten clean stops at short. A.

The team displayed remark- e improvement over the games with Rice. A. M.. .14-4 T. C. U.. . 2-0 LONGHORN The Christians were decisively defeated in the first game. The hitting of the Farmer nine and especially the two and three-base hits by Cherry tells the story of the day. The Skeeler brothers gave a twirling exhibition, allowing very few hits to be marked against them. The contest of the second day was again won by the Farmers, but by a closer margin since Coach Lucid was saving his best men for the Texas U. games. m : ■ - f 8 1 9 S 0 n z ■; o ’ o! o ' i T 1 , RAN DON A.

However, after a short stay they were soon convinced that this was impossible. Olson was on the mound for us and was holding his own, but the fun started when Rig ney hit for two bases, thereby cleaning the sacks with three men on. In the second game Skeeler pitched great ball. It was in the seventh inning, with three men on bases, that Captain Cherry won the game by hit¬ ting the ball for three bags. (281) A TM.. .2-8 T. C. U. .0-6 Two days later the team left in high spirits on the road trip. The first game was taken from the Christians. It was a fast and snappy exhibi¬ tion all the way through, but in no time were we in real danger. L. J. Skeeler’s pitching was one of the high lights of the game. He allowed only two hits, both being singles. Beringer and Hooker each got two-base hits. The second game on “Christian soil” was simply a repetition of the first one. The r whole team hit the ball hard and often, particularly when hits meant runs. This made the fourth and last game of the season that we took from the Christians. (282) LONGHORN A. M.. .0-3 Baylor.... 1-4 In the first eleven inning-game of the season, Baylor nosed us out by a score of 1 to 0. As a result of two hits and an error the winning run came in the eleventh frame. W. J. Skeeler never allowed a single hit in the first nine innings and deserved to win the game. It seemed to be an off A c r day for our bat artists, for a run would have spelt game for us. We were defeated the next day by a lone tally. The men played hard throughout the game, but the fates were not with them. Olson, Rigney, Cherry and Coleman were in the limelight.

The second game was another one of those eleven-inning contests in which both teams hit the ball considerably, however, the Farmers were again victorious. p. The season ended with Trinity losing two games to us. Both were fast and exciting, and, above all, we closed the 1915 season with a victory. A. M. 4-2 Trinity . 2-1 Much of the success of the team is due to Coach Con Lucid, who worked untiringly with the squad. Manager Menke deserves an inestimable amount of credit for the manner in which he managed the squad.

AtfyUtics OMPANY ATHLETICS has done more for the College Squad than any other one thing. Some men who have never seen a football or basketball game before learn the rudiments of the game in the company league and then become stars on “the squad.” The company league is made up of six teams: A-B, C-D, E-F, G-H, I-K, and L-M. This league is governed by a council composed of the three Battalion majors and two company captains, the Athletic Director, and the captain of the varsity team which is in season. The football championship race was a hotly contested one, but when the schedule had been finished C-D was the team to which the sweaters were given. An All-Company selection was then made and the best eleven men in the company league were awarded silver footballs. The basketball season was the most exciting that has been witnessed yet. There were twelve teams competing—one from each company. The league was subdivided into the “National” and “American” leagues. A Company and K Company were the winners in this race. A “World’s Series” of three games was staged between the two above teams and K Company won the “World’s Championship.” An All-Company game was then played; from the participants in this contest five men were selected as the All-Company team and were presented silver basketballs. The G-H baseball team, lead by Captain Howard Ellis, won the base¬ ball championship of 1915. G-H worked their way to the top of the per¬ centage column by their excellent teamwork and the efforts of their jvidual players. 3 (288) Championship J ootball Oeam C-D C de Montel.......... Coach .

This course was given its initial try-out in the summer of 1914, and, as it proved to be more than suc¬ cessful, it was deemed advisable to increase the length of the course to four weeks, thus enabling a greater variety of work to be given the students. It might be added that this practice course is given to those students of the Junior Class enrolled in the School of Civil Engineering. The purpose of the summer practice is to better prepare the stud (341) f,X CIVIL ENGINEERING syis 4 f ' c hc? f ■S fTucfur ' SUMMER COURSE life cTJ7 1 ' 2-43.

In order to give the students the greatest possible variety of practice, the course was divided into three separate parts. The first three weeks were to be spent in railroad location and the fourth week in triangulation and dam site location. The problem in railroad location was to locate a railroad from College vyLUfcf was ig-ht c rn a joe With His aaeDicWe BAG WHEN Ss v eor E Got Scratched Station to some point on the Brazos River near Jones 1 bridge. The problem was handled in the usual method of railroad location, that is, the work was divided into three parts: reconnoissance, preliminary sur¬ veys, and final location. The reconnoissance began from a point on the H. T. C. main line about one mile north of College Station and developed an area approx (343) LONGHORN imately 1000 feet wide and extending in a westerly direction to the Brazos River. When the reconnoissance was completed the preliminary survey was begun. This survey followed very closely the area developed in the re¬ connoissance. The party for the survey was divided into a transit party, level party and topography. The arrangement of the work was such that each man was given one-half day performing each duty. Four days were spent in running the preliminary line and one day in platting up the notes. From the results of the preliminary survey and the general knowledge of the country over which the line was to pass a paper location was made which was later established in the field. It was found that the paper location fitted field conditions very closely, but a few deviations here and there were necessary in order that curves be avoided and better grade secured. The location was completed in every detail, even to cross sec¬ tioning, running drainage areas, gauging the Brazos River, etc., in the allotted three weeks. The first day of triangulation was spent on the campus in tak¬ ing data on a system of triangles that had been previously ar¬ ranged. After this one day was spent in running a line of differ¬ ent levels from College Station to Bryan. The remainder of the time was spent in working out a dam site location on a small creek near College Station. The pro¬ posed dam was to create which in course of time would be the beauty spot of the College cam¬ pus. However, the entire time was not devoted to work. Among the many social events worthy of mention were the dances in the gymnasium, a hayride promoted by Mr. Riesner, and the many pleasant evenings spent in the home of the campus people. Prof. Spence supervised the work in a general way, while Profs. Love and Miller personally di¬ rected the field practice.

But this same joke may sometimes cause your best friends, your very intimate classmates, to let their momentary wrath arise in their manly young breasts and call you names, declare that forever your ties of brother¬ hood and friendship are cut. Cut clean at that, too. Each microbe and bacillus has a different way to kill us. Therefore, fearing the over¬ whelming raids, the gigantic attacks of the (sc. name),better known by the rabble as bed bugs, we oft times use the very helpful forces of nature, sun¬ light and wind, in preventing this pest from becoming too serious. (347) LONGHORN The Battalion, which is no doubt an enterprising college weekly and is famed for its wonderful scope of news-get- ting agencies, has evidently overlooked, in the course of its current year’s publications of the faults and failures of other people. This serious fault is of the editor himself. Sober, innocent, honest young men are often compelled to stray from the higher planes of righteousness, and sink to the lower, more com¬ mon levels of an ordinary chicken thief through the inevitable pangs of hunger incurred in a boarding school. P Men who are able to aid in the beautification of the campus, the betterment of the appearance of the Y. M. C. A. grounds, gain practical experience in Landscape Art, at the same time reduce the number of demerits (4 hours of hard, weary toil) from his heretofore spotless record, should be called efficient.

Deep thought, meditation, fan¬ tastic drifting upon feathery clouds of imagination, otherwise known in the college vocabulary as just plain “coking.” O c D (349) There are various methods and procedures of secur¬ ing advertisements for college annuals. For our manager, Mr. Easley, we are forced to claim high¬ est praise for his efficiency in this department of work. n Photographs are often very deceiving. While gazing at a pleasant, innocent, docile look¬ ing countenance you would never for one passing instant think that baby-faced in¬ dividual guilty of “stealing,” a gentleman’s Ford, riding hilariously through the wild midnight, nearly to Navi, overturn the “motor car,” set the car aright, and come wobbling back to this college, just for the sake of excitement. 050) A LONGHORN “Who will buy a drink or some other form of sustenance.

We accomplished the im¬ possible. Never before in the history of the college has any Soph class succeeded in making an absolutely, teetotally successful job of kidnapping the famous Junior Toastmaster. It was no accident either. It was planned carefully from the minutest detail to the big deed itself. The way it happened was this. Twelve men of the class, comprised mostly of the big ones, assembled quietly at 2:00 a. m. the morning before the banquet in the hall at the door of the innocently sleeping T. M. When all was ready they rushed into the room, threw blankets over the heads of the two occupants, bound and gagged the T. M. and hurried him to an awaiting car, which whisked him and four Sophs off to Calvert, thirty miles north of here, where they spent the day and part of the next night. You, of course, can imagine the feeling of the Juniors when they realized that it zvas useless to attempt a rescue and were forced to postpone the banquet. We had a Soph meeting on the date first set for the banquet and at the meeting ive decided that they had been kidded enough, that we would now let them have the banquet in peace. You see our consciences were troubling us a bit for we felt as if we had taken some candy from a baby ......

College y Glee Club—(thirty-five, all of them artists; don’t take our word for it, ladies and gentlemen, but see for your¬ selves)—ran amuck in East Texas this past season, and for one all too brief week they had a taste of that hospitality, famous to the Old South. For the towns visited by the club in the spring of 1916 are typical of the Old South and the warmth of hospital¬ ity showered upon the cadets was just as truly typical of South¬ ern hospitality. It was a new country to the A. M. men but juat such a country as will make the men insist on including Huntsville, Henderson, Palestine, and Tyler in next year’s itinerary. The program, just as new as the country visited, included readings by Miss Anita Park, solos by Mrs. Roy Danforth of Bryan, mandolin and banjo solos by M. Paul Jones, of Houston, trombone solo by Cadet Raymond and violin numbers by Cadets Blankfield and Babcock. The second part was given over to numbers by the Mandolin Club. A trip around the world featuring the Glee Club concluded the third and last part. Under the influence of the Spirit of Dreams the “Gang” boarded the good ship Dreams and put out for strange ports where they met with strange sights, sounds and smells around the world. After “showing” in Bryan Monday night the club set out for Huntsville, the (3G0) LONGHORN scene of the first performance. One thing to be remembered about Huntsville is the sister State institution to A. M. “Hungry” Spencer congratulated the inmates of the peniten¬ tiary on the absence of drill regulations, but for holding men in captivity, the penitentiary is not to be compared with those Normal girls. The presence of the Milner family in Henderson insured a warm reception there. In the afternoon there was a party for and this was followed by a recep- Mrs. Danforth and “Anita ' tion in honor of the club which was attended by so many pretty girls that the pending supper and the concert were forgotten. The concert over, Henderson men were hosts at an informal dance. Suffice it to say that the next morning Adanager Steger announced that,“In the future the car will be closed at 2 o’clock.” Palestine had a hearty welcome for every man on the pro¬ gram that night and A. M. won some new friends there. Tyler turned the town over to the club. “Hombre” Wellage and the members of the Hambone Quartet put all the noise makers out of commission there and destroyed sweet sleep for half the township. Everybody had friends in Tyler. Every¬ body left Tyler in love with the place. Terrell was the next and last stop. There was a better spirit of comradeship in a bunch of fellows, and Mrs. Danforth and “Anita” were mem¬ bers of the “Gang.” The orchestra which made the trip was the hit of every pro¬ gram and the “Good Fellows” in that or¬ ganization helped to make the trip more pleasant. r (3G1) LONGHORN This Entitles M r.

SCIENTIFIC SELECTION When the editor of the Longhorn announced that there would be a Vanity Fair in his book this year, the edi¬ tor of the Battalion smiled in a knowing, superior sort of way, and complimented the Longhorn men on their initia¬ tive and originality. And the “Bat” staff could well afford to congratulate the Longhorn staff. For the “Bat” staff by observing the greatest secrecy, had not only secured the opin¬ ions of every instructor, every faculty member, and every “Bull” Sergeant, but they had also obtained the opinion of “Prexy,” “Bull” Hill, “Blackie” Hunter, and “Dan” Jackson himself, without letting a word of it leak out among the stu¬ dents. That the opinions of the above named influential men carry more weight than the opinion of a bunch of irrespon¬ sible “kaydets” goes without question. We realized this, and knowing that the readers of this paper would be satisfied with nothing but the best the opinions of these men were obtained. In some cases ex¬ treme measures had to be re¬ sorted to, but in every in¬ stance the information was finally obtained. But the Battalion has done more than obtain the opinion of the “leading lights” of the campus. It has obtained their opinions on accomplishments and qualities, which are in most instances of infinitely more interest and importance than those considered in the Longhorn Contest. The results of the campaign follow: The Most Military .......... ...........“Lefty” McGilberry The Most Graceful Dancer.. .. ......... “Moony” Baccus The Wittiest.“Deak” Killough The Best Singer............ ............ “Fats” Witcher The Grouchiest ............. ...........“Tom” Thomason Biggest “Fusser” .......... ...............A.

As the two. father and son, pursue their way, Johnnie points out the various objects of interest about as follows: “On entering this gi’eat edi¬ fice from the south, this first place of note on our right is the Congressional Dibrary, which suffered a disastrous fire recently and at present is noted chiefly for its abundance of stale bulletins and scarcity of readable books. “Next, on our left is the War Office combined with the Department of Injustice, where the Secretary, commonly called by the name of a male bovine, holds sway among his lesser satellites. Here arise the many preparedness plans which cause the wearing away of many a worthy sole. “A little farther on, we see the Treasury Department which has one peculiar char¬ acteristic in that it takes in enormous amounts of money, never pays out any, and is poverty-stricken all the time. “Here, on our right, is the office of the Postmaster Gen¬ eral, and next to it the De¬ partment of Publicity, which is headed by tons of geniality and good fellowship. “This is the office of the Secretary of the Navy, called such because it has no boats but uses isolated cement struc¬ tures in lieu of marine craft. “We now continue to a very famous place and one of great interest to every loyal citizen and this is the Mint. This is under the direct supervision of its worthy superintendent, Dr. Pricem-to-Cheatem, who is all but surpassed in his zeal by his second-in-command, Mr. I. Usually Robbem. “Now, up this flight of stairs and we see the office of the President. He is always glad to see visitors, especially if they have first taken the trouble to get a permit stamp¬ ed ‘D’ in the Department of Injustice. “Let us continue to the of¬ fice of the Vice President, kpown as the ‘Superfluous President.’ ‘Presidents may come and Presidents may go, but our Superfluous President goes on forever.’ “Up another flight of stairs we find the Smithsonian In¬ stitution which has numerous curios in its treasured pos¬ session and by no means the least among these is a living skeleton fondly given the name of ‘Slender James’ by his femi¬ nine admirers. “This is the Bureau of Edu¬ cation which is now growing famous by its maxim, ‘Do lit¬ tle and talk much.’ “On this, the top floor, is cherished the Museum of Fine Arts. Artistic beauty undefiled and unadorned holds indis- puted dominion here. The worthy Dr. Addlepate often comes here with his fawning followers to instruct them in the gentle art of ‘Getting there, though handicapped by a Charlie Chaplin moustache.’ “Now, upon the roof of the building and we are through. That, sii ' , is the Dome of Knowledge; known as such be¬ cause it is over so many worthy men. After viewing haunts of so many distinguish¬ ed beings, let us calm our simple souls with a view of refreshing nature before de¬ scending to mere earth and irksome toil.” FISH ORGANIZE A “CO-OP.” BARBER SHOP Atiempt to Lower Prices—Lose Fight With Barber Trust. Receive Liberal Reward. DOWN WITH MONOPOLY Five prominent “P” Com¬ pany Freshmen, seeking to put into practice one of Dr. Kebla’s pet theories of eco¬ nomic reform, established a co-operative barber shop. Like all great undertakings, this one started on a small scale. These five brilliant “fish” had dis¬ covered that the barber busi¬ ness was a monopoly and that the prices charged were too steep for humble pocketbooks. So the five organized and de¬ cided to cut each other’s hair, and thus save quite a large sum of money which could then be spent for “Hershey’s” and crjspettes. When the deed was done these noble young men were suddenly struck by the thought that to limit the membership to the original five would be a crime, so they voted to ad¬ mit all the Freshmen in the companj’’ to the organization. Realizing that many of the duller men might not see the advantages of this new system and why it would be to their advantage to join, these dar¬ ing reformers decided to make acceptance compulsory, once a member was elected. Following ' out their resolu¬ tion these followers of Kebla took in most of the Freshmen in their company. As cuey had foreseen, there were a few who did not believe in the scheme. But, true to their agreement, the five young barbers used force, and the deed was done. The next morning, over thirty shaved pates testified to the success of the undertaking. But the enterprise was doomed to die a sudden death. Dr. Blaussingault, who was violently opposed to any inno¬ vation unless proposed by him¬ self, and who also, it is ru¬ mored, owned stock in the barber monopoly, received a letter from an irate citizen stating that his son had been maltreated, enclosing his son’s letter and denounc¬ ing the plan on the ground that it smacked of so¬ cialism. The seven martyrs {Continued on Next Page.) THE BATTALION HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY COLLEGE PAPER IN THE WORLD 2 THE BATTALION June 13, 1916 STUDENT OPINION Something should be done to make it more clear to the authorities of the College that the practice of confining the dairy cows to pastures should be ended. The lonesomelike surroundings of the College would be greatly improved if a cadet could gaze from his room window at any time of the day and see a Mr. and a Mrs. Cow freely grazing over the campus. Why not throw about the student at College more home¬ like surroundings? Are we, as students on graduating, ex¬ pected to go back to the farms whence we came when we are fast being alienated from the surroundings in which we were raised? This should be brought to the attention of the faculty at its earliest meeting. John Barleyhorn. It seems that at the present time it is altogether too easy to induce the military authori¬ ties to place a cadet on proba¬ tion and confinement for two or three months. There was a time when a real offense (for instance, shooting down a wall of the Main Building) was re¬ quired to obtain this favor from the Military Department. At present, things are so slack that for the mere possession of a light globe uncoated with shaving soap instead of the regulation, even a Freshman may receive the signal honor of being given 100 demerits, placed on probation, confined and deprived of class privi¬ leges for six months. This is an honor to which a Senior only and especially a Senior private should be entitled. As a member of the last named immortal organization, I re¬ quest that a movement be started to cause an end to the pernicious practice. I. M. A. Buck.

The economic law of supply and demand is said to govern, more or less, all exchanges of goods in this world. That be¬ ing the case, has the supply of demerits greatly increased or has the demand for them grown less? Perhaps this un¬ usual state of affairs is due to the great war in Europe. London exchange was quoted in New York yesterday at $4,695, while demerits could be bought at College Station to¬ day at the rate of ten per hour. Suppose the war should con¬ tinue for several years. That would mean that most of the universities and colleges of Europe would be closed and a surplus of demerits would be placed on the market. In the past we have been having to export large quantities of de¬ merits every year to meet the demand abroad. Now, since the war started, our markets have been cut off. If it con¬ tinues, not only will our mar¬ kets be cut off but the Euro¬ pean schools, being closed, will become exporters of their sur¬ plus and thereby flood the United States with that com¬ modity. Therefore, we believe that an extraordinary situation ex¬ ists. Congress which is now in session should at once pass a prohibitive tariff on demerits. If they are permitted to be im¬ ported into our country in as vast quantities as they have during the past year, our mar¬ kets will be ruined. Our aca¬ demic existence depends upon the price of this staple article. Many investors fail every year, due to the decrease in the marginal utility of demerits. We stand for sanity and jus¬ tice in international affairs. We, therefore, pledge the sup¬ port of The Battalion to any movement which will maintain reasonable prices for this nec¬ essary product. WIIAT A. M. STANDS FOR The Athletic and Military College of Texas, under the watchful supervision of a su¬ perior “Director” and his trained and able assistants (the coaches), together with a corps of “Bull” sergeants, at the command of a command¬ ant, is now becoming recog¬ nized as the foremost athletic and military institution of these United States. Under the administration of a faculty who readily suspend academic duties for the more important branch of physical develop¬ ment, there is no good reason why the institution should not live up to its name. And above all, militarism reigns supreme. A demerit system which piles ’em up faster than that of the regular army has been worked out by the pres¬ ent commander of cadets, so that parents over the state may rest assured that their sons are held accountable for each and every act of rowdy¬ ism, thereby fitting them as better boys and better men for that great army which may at any time be in need by this great country of ours. Finally, let us remember that the essential factors in any great organization of this kind is not the mere technical and academic training but the su¬ perior physical betterment and the ability to operate as a sin¬ gle unit in a gigantic machine. Such will ever be the princi¬ ples forced into the cranium of each and every young man who is sent here to be made into an efficient community leader and man among men. DELINQUENCY LIST. April 23, 1916. Bivins, J.—“Kicking cadet in ranks.” We note the above report on the delinquency list of April 23rd. We would like to ask the officer who turned in this re¬ port justly exactly where a man’s “ranks” are. We have heard of a man’s being kicked in the “north end” when he was facing south, buf this por¬ tion of the anatomy “ranks” is a new one. If being kicked there is as bad as being kicked in the face-, the ram sticks. However, just an ordinary kick in the ordinary place Is hardly worthy of such adver¬ tisement as it gets on Bulletin Board No. 2. Eddie Riesner has recently accepted a position as athletic director and head basket ball coach at Prairie View Normal. Cupid came to A. M. from the swamps of the lower Mis¬ sissippi where he spent his early boyhood with the croco¬ diles and bullfrogs as his play¬ fellows. It was probably from his early playmates that he acquired the peculiar quality of his voice, which has made him a mainstay of the Glee Club and the devouring pas¬ sion for study which has won for him all the medals offered for scholarship for four years. Cupid is not only a pleasing singer and an exceptional stu¬ dent, but he has won honors in all branches of student ac¬ tivity. In military ability, he is sec¬ ond to none but the great Na¬ poleon. On his entrance to College he was seen to have well developed physical quali¬ fications for a colonel. Owing to his friendly optimism and stidct conformation to discip¬ line he was rewarded in his Sophomore year with a cov¬ eted corporalship. In his Jun¬ ior year he was made first sergeant of Company “J,” act¬ ing in which capacity he turned in the greatest number of reports of any individual during the year. For his cred¬ itable discharge of the duties of first sergeant, he was com¬ missioned major of the Fourth Battalion in his Senior year. The record of Cupid’s ath¬ letic achievements is too long to be taken up in detail in this modest article. He won let¬ ters in five branches of ath¬ letics each year of his attend¬ ance at this College. At the close of the successful season of 1915 he was made captain of the croquet team and was later elected student manager of the mumble peg squad. Cupid came to A. M. with June 13, 1916 the record of being a “devil in his own home town.” While at College he has kept up this record. In his Junior year he was chairman of the finance committee of the emancipation ball. As to his good fellowship and popularity, nothing more need be said of Cupid than that he was elected a member of the B. V. D.’s in his Sopho¬ more year and captain of the organization in his Senior year. It has been rumored that Cu¬ pid will accept a position as instructor in the Chemistry Department next year. When asked if he would accept this position, he replied, “I never cross a bridge until I come to it.” Cupid, we wish you suc¬ cess in your chosen field, and may all your troubles be little ones. J.

June 13, 1916 THE BATTALION 5 HOT OFF THE BAT A large number of last year’s squad and some promising new material may be seen out at Kyle Field passing, kicking and interference running un¬ der the able tutelage of “Dad” Neyland, who has charge of the squad during Coach Har¬ lan’s absence. “Dad” has also formed a class of football players and he lectures to them three times a week on the theory and science of foot¬ ball tactics. While it is supposed to be a secret, we understand that at the request of the faculty, the athletic association has decid¬ ed to take over the financing and managing of the “national indoor pastime” team. Here¬ tofore the team has been FACULTYWOCKY. ’Twas pewee and the kinkj - haired Who stood around the foun¬ tain hedges For pewee still aspired the throne And gathered in the loyal pledges. “Beware bizzellzebub,” he said, With farmerjim he knows he’s wright So go see bell, and then like hell Come beckwith all your might.” Kinks took his boltoned blade in hand Long time the gordoned foe he sought Then guntered he, ’neath the beach-ball tree And kiblered there in thought. And as in chastained thought he stood Bizzellzebub with eyes of flame Did clutter through the mul- lin-wood And wipprecht as it came. WOOTEN AND McIVER Detectives Specialists in trash cans and explosives. Night calls answer¬ ed promptly. Our Motto: “Get Somebody” working under difficulties, as it was not a recognized sport and the team had to pay its own expenses. But under the sheltering wing of Billy Driver and with the resources of the athletic association at its com¬ mand, the team ought to have a successful season next year. The athletic association has engaged “Hal” Singletary as coach of the “national indoor pastime” team. With a man of his ability and experience, both as a player, and as a coach, in charge, a winning team is assured. “Hal” has already issued the first call for men and a large number have responded. Among those who are showing up the best are “Slide” Slay, “Max” Gilfillan, “Lefty” McGilberry, “Sheep” Moffet, “Pen” Metcalfe, “Fritz” Burkett, and Tom Driscoll. At present the men are busy studying for exams, and practice is only held twice a week, on Saturday and Sun¬ day, but later on the squad will be cut to six men and practice will be held every night. Practice will be held in one of the rooms on the second floor of the Y. M. C. A., which has been fitted up for that purpose. Again Varsity has met de¬ feat at the hands of Manager Cupid’s mumble peg squad. The cheering section went wild when Varsity rooted the peg One two, one two, and through and through His boltoned blade went snick¬ er-snack, But as he struck, he had no luck Bizzellzebub still holds the shack. “And hast thou chased bizzell¬ zebub? The cowart michied as he ran, Old possumsmith and squirrel- tooth They must have told him of our plan.” ’Twas pewee and the kinky- haired Who stood ai ' ound the foun¬ tain hedges For pewee still aspired the throne And garnered in the loyal pledges.

NEW DEPARTMENT STRESSES PRACTICAL SIDE OF LEARNING College Offers Instruction in An¬ cient Languages — Moral and Mental Philosophy — Belles Lettres, Etc. By Dr. H. I. Brow, A. B., V. D. (All Bull, Very Dry.) (Editor’s Note—This is the fifth of a series of articles on the various departments of the College.) Realizing that the tendency in an institution like the Ath¬ letic and Military College of Texas is to place too much stress on theoretical instruc¬ tion and to neglect practical things, the authorities are of¬ fering a course in Ancient Languages, Moral and Mental Philosophy, Belles Lettres and kindred subjects. This work is offered by Dr. H. I. Brow whose training in one of the largest Commercial Colleges of the Nation fits him peculiarly for this field. So much emphasis has been placed on Agricultural Engi¬ neering, Shop Work, and other purely cultural subjects that the Committee on Curricula has unanimously voted to en¬ courage the offering of more practical work—hence the Course in Moral and Mental Philosophy. That there is no necessity for bettering the moral stand¬ ards of the cadet corps, faculty and college community in no way lessens the need for this subject. The mental caliber of men attending the College is sufficiently high as to render unnecessary the work in men¬ tal philosophy. However, these courses are given ror their purely practical value. The work will consist of lec¬ tures given three hours each month. Students sleeping through the entire lecture pe¬ riod will be exempted from ex¬ aminations. A BOY’S REMARK TO HIS STOMACH.

It was Thursday night in the mess hall, And the grub began to fly, When right in the path of a hot cake “Nancy” Lawhon shoved his eye. Now “Nancy” is a virtuous boy, But as he sadly held his head, His recording angel worked all night Taking down the things he said. The Blue Book of this College Don’t believe in the maxim true, That you should do unto oth¬ ers, As others do unto you. But “Nancy” believed it heart and soul, And decided to get the guy That had spread that sloppy hot cake Into the inner depths of his eye. So he rounded him up a pota¬ to; One that was hard as lead, And sent the deadly missile Straight at his enemy’s head. It landed true as an arrow; It scattered over chin and chest. The culprit described a beauti¬ ful ai’c Then settled down to rest. A sergeant watched this battle royal, As he gazed his old heart sank. “I’ll have to turn him in,” he said, So “Nancy” lost his rank.

My food is what I find about, I hunt for it ’till I’m frazzled out. My shelter is the starry sky, I watch the planets sailing by Until my eyes grow weak and dim Then take a fresh grip on the limb. And wish the morning light would come. My owner says I’m on the bum. He wants an egg each other day, And thinks I ought to sing and lay. I wish he had to sit out here. And live on pickings all the year. I’ll bet a copper cent, by jing, He wouldn’t lay an egg from now till spring!” Lost—Left hand cuff button between chapel and some point south of College.

WHEN JIMMY COMES TO TOWN A LONGHORN Wl )0 i)i 6 N every book that is published there are some who nm do not receive proper recognition for their serv- ices. The editors of previous Longhorns have credited the editor of each division of the annua on the book division sheets, but, owing to a change in the design of our division sheet, the names of the several book editors do not appear in the accustomed places. Below will be found the names of those whose efforts have gone to make this book a real Longhorn. The name of our Art Editor, James D. Brown, may not be seen in the list, but will be found on the major portion of the drawings in this volume. His work will speak for itself. I The College ...........The Editor G. C.

LONGHORN i oo i L (377) (379) ii Mr. Bill One Row - and Two Row CORN AND COTTON PLANTER Durability Its strength is ample, which has been proven in heavy service all over the state, its material and mechanical-workmanship are the very best. EITHER SINGLE SEED OR PICKER WHEEL DROP Light Draft It is a snug, compact machine, easy to set up, easy to handle, the opener runs as accurately as a riding plow and makes an even seed bed. The Man Who Owns a Mr. Bill Not only has the strongest planter made, ' but he also has the lighest running and easiest handled. Not Only a Force Feed Drop But one with a flexible throat that handles the seeds so gently that there is no cracking or bruising, and a drop that separates and works out dust, lint and other foreign substances. Not Only Plants All Sorts of Seed Perfectly But there are only two moving parts in the seed box, just a large slow moving plate and the ejector—no adjustments, no change of gears, no trouble.

The Port of Galveston ranks second in America in value of foreign commerce, which is exceeded only by New York City; and steamship service from this Port extends to all parts of the world. Additional freight lines through the Panama Canal and Central America have been established, and a new and vast territory tributary to Galveston has thus been opened, making this City the logical Port for the efficient distribu¬ tion of merchandise destined to trans-Mississippi sections as well as all countries south. This old established firm, through its large and extensive interests, is prepared to advise with those who contemplate commercial operations through this Port and is prepared to furnish data concerning industrial conditions in this vicinity.

Ask yourself if College and University Annuals are not better to day because of BUREAU PROGRESSIVENESS and BUREAU INITIATIVE? You know that the BUREAU OF ENGRAVING, Inc. inaug¬ urated the system of Closer Co-operation with college annual boards in planning and constructing books from cover to cover. Our marked progress in this field commands attention. Our establishment is one of the largest of its kind in this country. Our Modern Art Department of noted Commercial Art Experts is developing Artistic Features that are making Bureau” Annuals Famous for Originality and Beauty. And again, the help of our experienced College Annual Depart¬ ment is of invaluable aid. Our up-to-the-minute system, which we give you, and our Instructive Books will surely lighten your Burden. A proposition from the Natural Leaders in the College Annual Engraving field from an organization of over 150 people, founded over 17 years ago, and enjoying the Confidence and Good Will of the foremost Universities of this country, is certainly worth your while. Is not the BUREAU OF ENGRAVING, Inc., Deserving of the Opportunity of showing what it can do for YOU? BUREAU of ENGRAVING, Inc. MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA wc 7 ous ' C of 0 y rj o t 430 ) -() ' «H� -() •«■� ■()- T’LL BET You Hadn’t Thought 1 of It In Just This Way Had it ever occurred to you that you had as well try to be a suc¬ cessful physician without attending a medical school, or a successful lawyer without attending a law school, or a successful minister with¬ out attending a theological school, as to try to be a successful banker or merchant or business man of any kind without first getting a practical business training? If you wanted to make a first class doctor, lawyer or minister, you would attend a university with a reputation. Why not use the same good judgment in selecting a business school in which to secure your training? The Tyler Com¬ mercial College of Tyler, Texas, is the business university of the South; it enrolls more students annually for Bookkeeping, Short¬ hand, Stenotypewriting, Cotton Classing, Business Administration and Finance, and Telegraphy than any other similar school in America. Its students have come from 39 different states; its grad¬ uates are holding the very best of positions in the leading cities in the United States. If you will spend from 3100.00 to 3150.00 for tuition, board and books for a course of Shorthand and Stenotypewriting or Bookkeep¬ ing or Telegraphy, or Cotton Classing or Business Administration and Finance, or better still, spend 3175.00 to 3200.00 and complete any two of these courses, you will have made the best investment of your life. What young man or woman with grit and determina¬ tion cannot raise this amount? Hundreds of students who borrowed every cent of their money to attend our school or gave us their note on tuition have found it the best venture of their lives; they were soon able to pay back the borrowed money, continue holding their good job, or go into business for themselves, with assurance of suc¬ cess. If you always remain where you are, you will always be what you are. TYLER K TEXAS,.

To Professor G. A. Geist we are very much indebted for the several color plates and V anity Fair, which he so will¬ ingly and ably designed. His efforts have meant much towards making this Longhorn artistic. Along this same lines we must also ac¬ knowledge the work of Mr. Harry Estill of Bryan for the football, basketball, and baseball title designs; and of R. M. Schornstein, T6, J. M. Burkett, T7, and D. Ah Schuchardt, T8, for the drawings which they contributed. To Smith Brothers, the College Pho¬ tographers, is due the credit for the pho¬ tographic work in this book. For the excellent engraving and prompt services rendered, we are very grateful to Mr. J. J. Slier of the Bureau of Engraving. Finally, to Rein Sons Company of Houston is due all the credit for the ex¬ cellent quality of printing and the artis¬ tic way in which this Longhorn has been arranged.
