In this, the 1918 volume of the Long Horn, it has been our utmost aim to consolidate into as few pages as possible a record of the past College year—a record that we who are seniors now may cherish more and more as the years go by. We hope that it may serve in after life to recall reminiscenses of our College years spent here and long- forgotten names to faded faces. ’Tis true someone’s picture or name and many incidents may not appear on these pages. On the other hand, it is possible that on someone too much lead or copper has been used. From those among the former or the latter who may be offended, we beg forgiveness. During the construction of this volume we have realized that in such a book, a record of the past year, an unlimited amount of material might be placed between the two covers. In what we have included we hope you will find nothing either irrelevant or uninteresting. A large per cent, of the 1918 class are now gone and due to this fact we have ex¬ pended a considerable amount of time in securing their records and pictures. But if the assembled mass of material, which has been gleaned from the happenings of the past year, has been presented to you in an interesting and con¬ sistent manner, then our efforts have not been in vain. And to the editors who will have in their hands the fates of the Long Horns of the future, we sincerely hope our successes may serve as an aid, our mistakes, a warning. CHARLES EDWIN FRILEY Registrar of the A M College of Texas as an expression of our highest esteem and honor, this book is dedicated. 2 STAFF George B. Morgan H. C. Knickerbocker Leslie E. Priester J.

Tken, tke campus beautiful existed only in spots, flowers and walks were unknown of. As Fisk, we stuck it out, tkougk often we fougkt our battles in tke mud. But tke tkree years since kave brougkt complete ckanges, concrete v alks and pa ed roads kave taken tke place of tke old patks. And now tfe can well be proud of our entire campus. Flowers and spreading trees have added tkat long wanted for picturesqueness around our kalis. W e see beautiful scenes from our windows, evening shadows fall over our rooms sweetened with tke fragrance of blooming flowers. And as we ka e watched this rapid growth tfell do ?e knov? tkat in years to come other Long Horns will be describing still more beautiful scenes.

Youngblood, Director strength, of our Army, and its attendant successes, are to l e € C measured, not so much h} r the wisdom displayed in its military or- J ganization as by the efficient service and devotion of individual citi- zens contributing their strength to the Cause under National di¬ rection. When Avar Avas declared, our country’s first thought was for the creation of an adequate army. Next came the call for increased production of food and feedstuff ' s, and materials for clothing. FolloAving this came the ap¬ peal for economies and sacrifices on the part of every citizen. To each of these calls the College has responded so fully and so promptly as to bring a throb of pride to the heart of every alumnus. Undoubtedly the greatest sacrifices Avhieh Inwe been made by individuals of the College community are those of the boys aa t 1io have dropped their studies and responded to the call to the Colors. In years to come their names Avill be among those of the immortals AAiio fought for the rights of our country, and that liberty might reign through out the world. For the calls for increased production and economics, the Agricultural Experiment Station was AA’ell prepared. For thirty years the Station has been accummulating a store of information, enabling the farmers to produce greater yields per acre at less expense per acre. So prosperous has been the country during the period that this store of information has not been used to best ad¬ vantage by the farmers of our State. Noav that the National Government is thoroughly organized for carrying on the Avar for an indefinite period, it be¬ comes perfectly olmous that no branch of the public service are so far-sighted in the performance of their duties as the Experiment Stations of the country. It is very significant that the Avar situation has not necessitated any radical changes in the nature or scope of existing Station Avork. It has merely brought emphasis to the fundamental nature of this Avork in general, and to the importance of certain lines of research in particular. The changed atti¬ tude of the public Avith reference to Station Avork, hoAvever, brings to light an important difference. Before the Avar the public Avas interested, for instance, in economical rations for meat production. The public uoav demands that the Experiment Station go further into these problems, and determine the most economical methods of meat production. OAving to the scarcity of feed¬ ing stuffs of all kinds, the Stations can render no greater service than to de¬ termine the minimum protein requirements in animal groAvth and meat pro¬ duction. In other lines the difference is practically the same. The people Avant the Station to determine the superlative degree of efficiency in all lines of production. The Stations are the only agencies prepared to answer such questions, and in doing so Avill render a patriotic service no less important in this war than that of our Army and Navy. To the end that the Stations may play Avell their part in Avinning the Avar, it is the duty of every Station man to focus his energies more sharply upon his Avork than eA T er before. It is not Avise for him to go to the trenches, so long m Page Fifty-one as there are enough able-bodied men left in the country for the application of the selective draft. Most Station men realize that they can be of rhe greatest the glory which follows in the wake of a soldier, it has been trying indeed for possible service to the cause by remaining where they are, yet, cognizant of them to remain at their posts of duty. There he should remain, however, so long as his Country wills that he should. Though it is improbable that in the course of human events he will receive as much honor and glory, or as much self-satisfaction in staying with his work, as he would in going to the front, he should be content to continue his labors where he can be of tne greatest possible service. He has ample opportunities to render a number of patriotic services other than that of investigations leading to information of value in production. He may support the Red Cross, the V. M. C. A., and similar or¬ ganizations, and he may invest his savings in Liberty Bonds. If he avails himself of his every opportunity to render patriotic service, he will, in the end, have the extreme satisfaction in knowing that he did his full duty. He may not wear the laurels of a hero, but in the last accounting he shall certainly be classed among our substantial citizens who contributed the full strength of their abilities to the Country at a time when it was needed in winning this great war.

Co-operation with United States Department of Agriculture. iil ■ ii InIJ a i� f nfcaHH Page Fifty-four Page Fifty-five pi r ! :v Jv i ■ W m %d£ D Co-Operative Extension Work Iii Agriculture and Home Economics, Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas and United States Department of Agriculture are Cooperating. T. O. Walton, Acting Director. ' HE purpose of Extension Work are defined in the following words quoted from Section 2 of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914: “Cooperative Agricultural Extension work shall consist of the giving of in¬ struction and practical demonstrations in agriculture and home economics to persons not attending or resident in said colleges in the several communities, and imparting to such persons information on said subjects through field demonstrations, publications and otherwise. ” With these principles in view, we outlined the following plans for the past year: First, To demonstrate to farmers the importance of giving food and feed first con¬ sideration in their system of farming; Second, to convince business men, credit merchants and bankers that much a system of farming is the safest basis of credit; Third, to permanently improve Texas agriculture by the building up of the soils through crop rotation; instruction in the correct principles of soil management; the reclaiming of waste places, and the protection of those under cultivation by proper care and terracing; also, to improve the livestock in¬ terests by encouraging the introduction of the purebreds best adapted to climate and conditions; a thorough instruction in the proper use of balanced rations, and, so far as possible, prevent the presence of destructive diseases and pests. Realizing the close relation of production and marketing, we de¬ termined that in order to stimulate increased production we should at the same time increase marketing facilities and instruct the farmers in curing, storing and caring for their surplus and the converting of same into cash at a minimum cost, consequently we planned our activities accordingly. Numerous duties have developed to consume the time and energy of the Specialists and County Agents which have no place in report forms, yet they were strictly in line with Extension Service principles, as for instance the Emergency Food Service Campaign during the summer, at which time young ladies volunteered their services from the University of Texas, College of In¬ dustrial Arts, Denton Normal, Sam Houston Normal, San Marcos Normal, and Canyon City Normal, and notwithstanding the fact that the drouth seri¬ ously handicapped and finally ended their activities. 2,474,000 containers of food were put up as a result of lectures and demonstrations, and 381,000 peo¬ ple were influenced directly and indirectly. A campaign for a fall garden and a one-acre plat was then waged in hopes of relief, and again the drouth pre¬ vailed. This was followed by the emergency work and the proper placing of r:i | Mum Iilr It? til g:| hi putt. Page Fifty-six i ®l row ill lit! Slii 11 s3Mfc� ti;’ emergency forces developed upon tke Extension Service and employees with a multitude of added duties and responsibilities, among which were, the direct¬ ing of Emergency County Agent work, Emergency Boys’ Club Work, Emer¬ gency Home Demonstration work, Emergency work in entomology, and the Emergency Work for Urban Women and Girls, the latter being conducted in cooperation with the University of Texas. The County Agents and Stall ' Specialists duties were doubled and trebled in supervising and advising re¬ garding the disposal of mules to the government, the securing of seed for planting, the locating of food and feed to be sent to the drouth stricken sec¬ tions where livestock were suffering, and the locating of livestock to be shipped to sections with sufficient feed and insufficient livestock, also the proper cur¬ ing, storing and preservation of surplus crops where such might be found and the suggesting of suitable balanced rations which might be obtained at reason¬ able prices to feed livestock and poultry so as to make a profit possible and thereby prevent the sale of brood sows, cows, etc., and the consequent depletion of the production of meat, so necessary in the winning of a world ' s war. Notwithstanding all the extra duties above mentioned, records carefully kept by our Demonstration Agents and on tile in our office, show that demon¬ stration plats cultivated according to our methods produced an increase over that produced under ordinary methods, valued at $2,454,354.56. This increase alone is only about 2 1 2% of the $65,000.00 appropriated by the State last year. However, this is only a small proportion of the results accomplished, as we had hundreds of cooperators who cultivated thousands of acres according to our methods, where records are not required. Could we tabulate these the results would be marvelous. The increase in Boys’ Agricultural and Pig Club work were remarkable under the conditions, while the results in Home Demon¬ stration and Girls’ Poultry Club work show results in the same ratio which space forbids us to enumerate. Furthermore, we have a chief and five specialists in each Division of Plant Industry, Animal Industry and Rural Economics, Which have shown marked results in savings to the farmers of Texas in their respective lines the records of which are on file in our office. A careful study of their work and activities would convince the most skeptical of the vast amount of good accruing to the rural communities through their efforts. In fact, we feel that it would be a conservative estimate to say that the value emenating from all sources is ten times the figures shown above and that the forces set in motion, if properly nourished and directed will produce incomprehensible results and usher in an era of rural life attractive and profitable to old and young alike.

Agriculture as a Vocation By E. J. Kyle Dean of the School of Agriculture ’HE most significant fact in the vocational world today is the changed sentiment in regard to agriculture as a vocation. The grower of crops has emerged from the “clod hopper” state to the farmer, and from the farmer to the agriculturist. The evolution in the title to define this class of citizenship has carried with it an even more wonderful change in public sentiment. It is now recognized by all thoughtful people that the man who chooses the vocation of agriculture should be as well prepared for the work he is to do as the man who follows any other vocation. As a matter of fact, it requires even better and broader training than almost any other calling. Within the past few years, there has grown up a demand for men thor¬ oughly trained in agriculture, and the demand has increased so rapidly that it has been impossible for the institutions giving the training, the A. M. Colleges, to meet it, Hhis demand is not only on the increase, but is rapidly broadening in its scope so that it now represents several distinct lines of work. FARM MANAGERS Probably the first demand made upon the colleges was to supply men properly prepared to manage their own farms. This is still one of the most important functions of the colleges. It is certain that in most of the agri¬ cultural institutions, the greatest desire of the officers in charge of affairs is to have a large number of graduates return to their own farms, and, as a re¬ sult of their training, become practical and successful farmers. The fact that land is still so cheap in parts of this state, coupled with the further fact that practically all classes of farm products are rapidly increasing in value, affords an excellent opportunity to the energetic and intelligent young man to soon own his own farm, in case his parents have not already provided one for him. If he has the energy and ability, this special training will soon enable him to become a successful and prosperous land owner. Closely connected with the management of their own farms comes the de¬ mand that has so rapidly increased for agricultural graduates to become managers or superintendents of farms for individuals or stock companies. There are many men owning farms in the Southwest who do not have the time to devote to their active management. These places are under the manage¬ ment of farm superintendents, who, until recent years, have been men with only practical farm experience. The owners of these farms are now demand¬ ing that their managers have scientific as well as practical training. Not only are calls coming for men to manage farms in this and other southern states, but quite frequently there is a request for men to go into foreign countries and take charge of important farming operations.

College has recently taken over, through the Extension Ser¬ vice, supervision of the county demonstration agents. This is an extremely important field of endeavor. The character of the work calls for men who are natural leaders, men who have had scientific training, men who are practical, and whenever such a combination can be secured, ample reward is sure to come. In addition to the work to be done by the county agents, there is the closely related work that must be carried on by special extension workers. The passage of the Smith-Lever Act by the Federal government makes it mandatory that the college carry to the people of the state information that has been worked out at the college and experiment station. In a few years time, this college will be spending close to a million dollars for this kind of work alone, and this is going to necessitate the employment of a large force of thorough]} trained agricultural workers. Then, too, there is the call for scientifically trained men to become in¬ dustrial agents for railroads, commercial secretaries, etc. The railroads are now beginning to demand that their agents have more and more practical training. THE MERCHANT-FARMER For a long time, people have been accustomed to look to our literary schools to give the fundamental training for our merchants, bankers, real estate men, etc. Thoughtful people are beginning to realize that our mer¬ chants, our bankers, our real estate men, a large percentage of whom own farms, and to a considerable extent our rural preachers, our lawyers, and our doctors, would be vastly benefited by a thorough, fundamental course in agri¬ culture. Why should not these men, who are so vitally concerned with agri¬ cultural questions be thoroughly grounded in the principles of agriculture? A satisfactory reply to this question may be found in the striking success that some of our agricultural graduates have made, who have taken up one or an¬ other of the professions. In order to prepare young men for the different lines of work enumerated above, the A. M. College of Texas is now offering a four-year course, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, a two-year prescribed course leading to a certificate, and a graduate course leading to the degree of Master of Science, and, in addition, special courses planned to meet the needs of students over twenty-one years of age, who can spend only a short time in college and who desire to devote the larger part of their time to some practical line of work. In the four-year course, students are given thorough, scientific and practi¬ cal training in those subjects that have to do with the production of plants and animals useful to men. The fundamental sciences of chemistry, biology, physics, and anatomy and physiology form the foundation of these courses. In order that the students’ general training shall not be neglected, instruction is also given in English, economics and foreign languages. The technical work in agriculture is divided into ten groups. These a e: agricultural chemistry, agricultural education, agricultural engineering, agronomy, animal husbandry, biology, dairy husbandry, entomology, horti¬ culture, and Landscape Art. - —i Page DAIRY HUSBANDRY BARN ii I 1 I- r •• 1 a SSI mm lil mm Page Sixty-two 1. ;fi giftl Mm l|p|| jB:.i Hi lij Department of Animal Husbandry The Department of Animal Husbandry, whose primary purpose is to teach students to select, breed, leed and manage livestock, is equipped with the fol¬ lowing breeds: Standard Bred, Thoroughbred, Mor¬ gan, Saddle and Percheron breeds of horses; Short¬ horn, Hereford and Aberdeen-Angus breeds of cattle; Shropshire, Southdown, Hampshire and Rambouillet breeds of sheep; and Duroc-Jersey, Poland-China, Berkshire and Tamworth breeds of hogs. These breeds are represented by registered breeding ani¬ mals in the case of horses, and by both registered breeding animals and market animals (steers, wethers and barrows) in the case of cattle, sheep and hogs, respectively. On the Animal Husbandry farm there are four barns, viz., a horse barn, a beef cattle barn, a sheep barn and a hog barn. The land on which the hogs and sheep are kept is divided into small Helds and pasture, thus permitting forage crop and pasturage rotation for these animals. In conjunction with the Department of Animal Husbandry, there is a Department of Poultry Husbandry whose function is to teach students to select, breed, feed, and manage poultry. To this department there has been set aside forty acres of land for a poultry farm. Fifteen acres are now being used. The farm buildings consist of four permanent laying houses, four movable laying houses, one feed house, and six movable colony brooder houses fully equipped. The breeds of poultry on the farm are: S. C. White Leghorns, S. C. Brown Leghorns, S. C. Rhode Island Reds, S. C. Black Minorcas, White Plymouth Rocks, Golden Campinesand Dark Cornish. JOHN C.

M. Engineering School for the period covered by this volnme of the Longhorn without mention- g ing the war, which lias made itself felt in so many ways. Changed curricula, modified schedules, extra military and shortened sessions, have been the experiences of the engineers, in common with all the others in attendance at the College. But since, in its methods, this war is practically an engineering enter¬ prise, its strictly military features make more particular appeal to the en¬ gineering students. The fortifications, trenches, roads, bridges, water supply, call for and appea l to the civil engineer. The signals, long distance control of explosives, propelling of submerged submarines, make call upon the electrical engineer. The call to the chemical engineer is probably least spectacular and most dangerous, being in the development of more powerful explosives, and more deadly gases. To the mechanical engineer comes probably the loudest and most varied call. From the rattle of the machine gun to the thrilling and spectacular field of the aeroplane, from the prosaic lumbering auto-truck to the hazardous tank, and from the mechanism of a contact mine to that of the self propelled torpedo, the work of the mechanical engineer is necessary. Including all these military activities of Army and Navy, and the neces¬ sary preparation, the call has been heard and answered by so many of the Texas A. M. engineers that the Senior Class is almost obliterated, the Junior Class cut down about half, with even the Sophomore and Freshman Classes suffering materially in membership. More Seniors have gone than Freshmen, because there were more Seniors qualified, by age and preparation. They have gone out from all courses, with equal patriotism and loyalty. If the count shows more from one course than from another, it is because that course had more who could go. The boys have gone to join practically every line of mili¬ tary activity. If there is any line in which an A. M. engineer is not enrolled, it is because more have yet learned about that line. The war is not only bringing out the loyalty and patriotism of the men educated at our Alma Mater, but is testing out their technical training as well. Men who have graduated from one engineering course are securing ap¬ pointments and commissions for work in other engineering lines. It is grati¬ fying to know that the fundamentals of the A. M. engineer ' s training are right, as is shown by this ability to readily take up the engineering work in lines other than that in which he specialized. The year has seen more than the usual number of changes in the person¬ nel of the teaching force, due to causes that need not be recounted; but the work has gone on with remarkable smoothness notwithstanding these changes. Most conspicious among the changes was that due to the death of Dean D. W. Spence, whose strong personality and whose untiring efforts, through a num¬ ber of years, have left their strong impress upon the organization and work of the Engineering School, and the College as well. His tireless efforts for the ♦ Page Sixty-eight upbuilding of any work which claimed his attention, will long be remembered by those who came in contact with him. After this loss the College was par¬ ticularly fortunate in being able to secure as his successor the man who had been his predecessor, and who is so well known among all the Alumni of the Engineering School. All the graduates know and love Dean Nagle, whose former connection with the College did so much to give it a standing among the engineers of Texas and the educators of the United States. In Ihe renewal of his connection with the College, we have assurance that the Engineering School will grow and develop as is befitting the State of Texas. Lack of space makes it impossible to discuss other changes in Ihe per¬ sonnel of the teaching force. Without attempting to draw any individual comparisons, it is still fair to express the students’ belief that, on (he whole, the teaching force is probably at least as s trong as it was last season. We welcome the new teachers and give our best wishes to those who have answered calls to other institutions. Especially will we hold in high regard those who have gone out in response to our Country’s call. We have touched upon the call of the war, its effect upon college and class attendance, and the test of our curriculum. We have mentioned our develop¬ ment in plans of study, the changes in the personnel of the teaching force, and the standard of class work maintained; and although space is limited, we must not fail to mention the material increase in permanent equipment. This must be limited to the matter of building accommodations, although the ap¬ propriations provided for these during the next year. The department of physics is to have a new building, and we feel sure that this will be a great ad¬ dition to the educational plant of the college. Professor Silvey’s work during this and last session gives us sufficient guarantee that this building will be well planned and will greatly assist in the efficient instruction in a most im¬ portant fundamental subject. The appropriation for a mechanical engineering building comes as the materialization of an old call from Professor Fermier, who ten years ago, in his first biennial report, pointed out the need of this building for the purpose of instruction and in connection with an Engineering Experiment Station, which he recommended be established. The mechanical engineering shops and laboratories have been using second-hand and abandoned buildings so long that the new building will no doubt be greatly appreciated by the department, as well as by the students. The chemical engineering department will have increased accommodations by reason of the moving of the veterinary department, and as a result can de¬ velop a number of plans heretofore held in check. The new physics building and the new mechanical engineering building will no doubt make it possible for the civil and electrical engineering depart¬ ments to expand. It will thus be seen that the year 1917-18 will probably usher in changes that will make for increased space and consequent develop¬ ment in the work in nearly all the engineering departments. Take it all in all, we feel that this has been an eventful year for the En¬ gineering School. In every sense it may be said that the Texas A. 1- M. En¬ gineer is at the front.

E.’S IN DRAFTING ROOM Page Seventy-four Page Seventy-five Page Seven V: H MR. BENARD SBISA, For forty years Supervisor of the Subsistence Department at A. M. The record that he has made during this period has given the College a reputation throughout the South. 8lii The Administration of William Bennett Bizell bright, sunshiny day in the early part of September, 1914, an A ■ alert, earnest young man, of pleasing appearance, albeit his hair was J parted in the middle, stepped from the interurban car and made his way quietly to the Registrar’s office, introduced himself, then pro¬ ceeded to the office of the Dean of the College, with whom he spent several hours in consultation. Following this consultation, he took charge of the office of the President and announced to the world smilingly that he was ready for what might come. Such was the unobtrusive beginning of the administration as President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas of William Bennett Bizzell, Master of Arts, and Doctor of Civil Law, scholar, author, Christian gentleman and friend of young men. Under his wise guidance changes, ma¬ terial, mental and spiritual, have been wrought in A. M. that were thought impossible by the average man familiar with conditions here at the time he took up his task. William Bennett Bizzell was born at Independence, Texas. It is a remark¬ able co incidence that he arrived on this mundane sphere on the very day that the Agricultural and Mechanical College opened its doors to students, October 4, 1870. He received his education at Baylor University, the University of Chicago, the Illinois College of Law and Columbia University. Early in his college career he became deeply interested in Social Service, and his writings bear evidence of careful, constructive study in this field of endeavor. Dr. Bizzell’s experience as a teacher and school administrator in Texas, covering a period of nearly twenty years, gave him a knowledge of educational conditions which peculiarly fitted him for the great work he has been called upon to do as President of the A. M. College. From 1900 to 1910 he was Superintendent of public schools at Navasota; from 1910 to 1914 he was President of the College of Industrial Arts at Denton. Thus he was thor¬ oughly familiar with the problems of education in Texas, from the standpoint both of the secondary school and the College. The remarkable manner in which he made use of this knowledge to carry out seemingly impossible re¬ forms in the College, at times in the face of almost overpowering opposition, speaks eloquently of his ability as a constructive leader and a successful administrator. Upon assuming the duties of the Presidency, Dr. Bizzell, after a careful survey of the situation, announced certain policies which would prevail in the Institution from that time. Among these were (1) higher standards of Page Seventy-seven morality, (2) greater religious activity, (3) higher standards of scholarship, (4) proper conduct of athletics, (5) the abolition of hazing, (G) development and improvement of the material equipment of the College, (7) a greater field of usefulness for the College through the extension service, the experiment station and the publicity department. MORAL STANDARDS Whether deserved or not, the reputation of A. M.’s student body for good conduct, at home and abroad, before President Bizzell’s advent, was not of the best. A great deal of the feeling against the College was no doubt traditional, but that very fact gave added emphasis to the more or less infre¬ quent instances of “rough stuff” which occurred, and there was a certain ele¬ ment of the student body which seemed to delight in bringing embarrassment to the College authorities and criticism on the cadet corps. In no uncertain terms President Bizzell gave warning that such conduct would no longer be tolerated. This warning naturally aroused the ire of the refractory students, who somehow got it into their heads that because Proxy came from a girls’ school and parted his hair in the middle he didn’t have the nerve to handle a bunch of 1,200 boys. However, after several never-to-be-forgotten interviews, following continued violations of the established rules of good conduct and morality, some of these students went away (literally) sadder but wiser young men, and from that time a change for the better was apparent in the student body. The power of example is a wonderful thing, and as the four years of his service have gone by the President, by his rigid adherence to those princi¬ ples of right living which are a mark of the efficient man, has raised the stand¬ ards of morality and right living among the students to a point which could never be reached by the enforcement of a multitude of faculty regulations, demerit systems, and other more or less artificial methods of control. RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES Rational religion is to-day the most vital fac tor in the proper develop¬ ment of the human race. One of the criticisms of state controlled institutions of learning has been the absence of religious ideals, not only in the student body but in the Faculty, and in many cases this criticism has not been far from the mark. To a large extent religious activities in A. M. had become mere form, and this was one of the great problems which presented itself to President Bizzell for solution. In his characteristic manner he announced fo the students and faculty that he was a firm believer in Christianity and the religion of service and that his work in A. M. would be founded on the principles of righteousness and justice. He called upon those in the student body and faculty who were endeavoring to direct their lives on the same plane Page Seventy-eight to assist him in ths establisliinoiit of higher religious ideals as a distinctive part of the work of the College. The appeal, presented with all the earnest¬ ness of a man inspired with the courage of his convictions, met with a gratify¬ ing response. Plans were at once formulated for bringing every student in touch with one or more of the religious activities of the College. The most prominent ministers and laymen of this and other states were invited to ad¬ dress the students at the Sunday chapel services; the work of the Young Men’s Christian Association Avas broadened, and the handsome hoav Y. M. C. A. building was equipped with everything that could in any Avay add to Ihe com¬ fort and happiness of the boys; a School of Religious Instruction, offering a systematic four-year course of study in the old and neAv testament, Avas es¬ tablished, and at the present time over 500 boys are enrolled for the Avork. Milton says, ‘‘Religion, of which the reAvards are distant, and Avhich is ani¬ mated only by faith and hope, Avill glide by degrees out of the mind unless it be imdgorated and re-impressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to Avor- ship, and the salutory influence of example.” The example of President Bizzell, in his dealings with the students from day to day, is an inspiration to every one Avith Avhom he comes in contact. He has established a neAv era in the College, which Avill leaA e its impression on every student avIio enters, and Avill be an invaluable aid to him in his life AA’ork. It is safe to say that no school eA r er experienced a greater change in religious ideals than that Avhich has come to A. M. in the past four years, and credit for this change is due al¬ most Avholly to the tireless efforts of President Bizzell. SCHOLASTIC STANDARDS Back in. 1914, and for years before, it Avas a common saying in educational circles that admission to A. M. Avould be granted to any student avIio got off the train and presented himself at the Registrar’s Office. This statement Avas, of course, rather an exaggeration of the actual facts, but it A r as nevertheless true that the requirements for admission Avere absurdly Ioav, and caused much unfavorable criticism among these institutions Avhich Avere trying to uphold proper standards in our colleges. This criticism culminated in an extremely bitter article in the Eighth Annual report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. President Bizzell, realizing that the College would never fulfill its mission under such conditions, at once took steps to remedy the defect. The requirements for admission Avere placed on the unit basis, and effective September, 1915, fourteen units Avere required for admission to the Freshman Class. In 191G, the list of high schools designated by the State Department of Education, as of the First Class, Avas adopted as the affiliated list of the College. A. M. Avas the first senior college to adopt the classi¬ fication of the Department of Education, Avhich, by recent agreement, will Page Seventy-nine Gil!til Ik «m ir� IMS a iljl X L pa 3kM:S Ri ! | ill imt hereafter be used by all the higher institutions of Texas. Plans are now under way to increase the entrance requirements to fifteen units, effective Septem¬ ber, 11)11). This will place the College on a par with the best institutions of similar type in other sections of the country. Co incident with the increase in entrance requirements, the courses of study were greatly strengthened in scope and quality. New courses were added to meet new demands, old courses were re-organized on a modern basis, and preparatory courses were re-established temporarily, to bridge the gap between the old and the new entrance requirements. Having served their pur¬ pose, the preparatory courses were abolished in the spring of 1917. The sum¬ mer session was also re-established in 1916 and the work was broadened to meet the needs of every class interested in rural and community welfare. In the summer session of 1917 the attendance was over fourteen hundred, an in¬ crease of nearly one thousand over the previous summer school. Ten gradu¬ ate scholarships for the session of 1917-18 and twenty for the session 1918-19 were provided by the last Legislature, as a result of the efforts of President Bizzell, and this important branch of the work of the College has been greatly strengthened. The value of properly supervised graduate study cannot be over-estimated, and it is expected that the graduate school will in the future be a great factor in demonstrating to the people of Texas the practical value of the work being done by the College. Notwithstanding the fact that the entrance requirements have been made more rigid each year since President Bizzell began his work, and contrary to the predictions of many zealous friends of the College, who thought more of quantity than of quality, the attendance has steadily increased, both in the regular and the summer sessions, as is evidenced by the following figures: Year Regular Session Summer Session Total (excluding duplicates) 1913-14 888 160 1040 1914-15 915 310 1219 1915-16 1068 354 1416 1910-17 1242 559 1767 1917-18 1107 1409 2516 To November 15, 1917. The President has set a goal of two thousand students in the regular ses¬ sion of 1920-21, and twenty-five hundred students in the regular session of 1925-20. His devotion to the highest educational ideals, and the great con¬ fidence in which he is held by the people of the state justify the prediction that his ambitions will be realized. Page Eighty ...... ' - 5 O Jl vl ii k|K II “I ;i %-a ATHLETICS Being a firm believer in, and a striking example of, that old maxim “Mens sana in corpore sano,” Prexy took an immediate and active interest in the athletic activities of the college. With the idea in mind that every student in the college should take part in some form of athletics, he engaged the ser vices of an athletic director, and coaches for each branch of athletics. The athletic grounds were improved, tennis courts built, company teams en couraged, and clean, sportsmanlike conduct insisted upon at all times. The College became a chapter member of the Southwest Athletic Conference, which specified among other things that no student should participate in inter¬ collegiate contests who did not present fourteen units for entrance, the re¬ quirement of all standard colleges, and who had not been in attendance at the College for at least one full year. This rule put an effective stop to “ringers and the cry of “professionalism’’ in various colleges, and laid greaier stress on scholarship as an important factor in athletics. The value of these reforms has become apparent to every friend of the college, and the “Aggies” are now formidable eentenders in every race for State and Southwest honors. HAZING Hazing, is (or, was) a custom in the institution as old as the College it¬ self. It was taken for granted, especially by the Sophomore in his wisdom, that the Freshman v r as made for hazing, and that he (the Soph) w r as divinely appointed to administer the rights and ceremonies appertaining thereto. Faculties had legislated, threatened, cajoled, pleaded and “fired,” presidents and commandants had held consultation after consultation, but hazing con¬ tinued to be the principal recreation and avocation of the Sapient Soph. Prexy took a careful survey of the situation, gritted his teeth, shucked his coat and announced in plain, straightfoiwvard English (which a warfaring student, though a fool, could not misunderstand) that hazing must go. The old-timers grinned broadly; where had they heard that before? But Prexy had not spent four years at the head of a school of one thousand live girls for nothing, and, wdth his usual careful foresight, he laid his plans. How r well he has succeeded in his efforts is evidenced by the fate of those misguided lads who are now “on the outside looking in,” and begging for just one chance to prove to Prexy that they are the eternal enemies of that horrible custom of old, vulgarly known as hazing. And, too, a different spirit has manifested itself in the student body. There is more of good fellowship and big-brother- liness as between the Soph and the Fish, and less of the old spirit,—“I got mine, so you take yours.” Of course, a custom as ancient, as traditional, as alluring and as deep-rooted as was hazing in A. M. could not be abolished in a day, and Prexy realized this fact fully. But there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of the impartial observer to-day that Prexy has practically accomplished the impossible, and that hazing will ere long be only a vague, unbreathed memory, flitting fitfully througlrthe guilty conscience of the would- be evil-doer. I Ii |f m .fhifrrrin Page Eighty-one Wr MATERIAL IMPROVEMENT An institution of the scope and magnitude of A. M. cannot do its most effective work without adequate material equipment, in the form of class rooms, laboratories, scientific equipment for research, dormitories and places of assembly. Furthermore, good roads, sidewalks, parks and trees add im- measurbly to the comfort and convenience of the student body. President Bizzell made a careful estimate of the present and pressing needs of the Col¬ lege, and presented these needs to the Thirty-fourth Legislature in such an effective manner that practically every item requested was granted. The fol¬ lowing appropriations were made for buildings and permanent improvements, in addition to increased appropriations for running expenses for all depart¬ ments of the College: Veterinary Medicine Building....................$100,000 College Auditorium .............................. 100,000 Experiment Station Building.................... 75,000 Hospital ........................................ 50,000 Animal Husbandry Building..................... 40,000 Completion of Steam Plant...................... 25,000 Hog Cholera Serum Building..................... 15,000 Two new wells ................................. 15,000 Cottages ........................................ 10,000 Dairy Barn and Equipment ..................... 10,000 Greenhouse for School of Agriculture............. 10,000 Extension of Sewer System ...................... 10,000 Stock Barns ................................... 5,000 Incinerator ..................................... 2,500 Inside Improvements and Repairs ............... 10,000 Outside Improvements .......................... 20,000 Total ..................................$497,500 Funds obtained for this building from Feed Control funds. The Thirty-fifth Legislature made the following appropriations for perm¬ anent improvements: Dormitory .......................................$90,000 Mechanical Engineering Building ................. 75,000 Physics Building ................................ 60,000 Completion of Steam Plant ...................... 40,000 Cottages ............. 16,000 Extension of Sewer System....................... 12,000 To Remodel Chemistry Building .................. 10,000 Septic Tank .................................... 10,000 To Remodel Old Chapel for a Library............. 8,650 Barns for Dairy Husbandry Department.......... 3,000 Poultry Husbandry Buildings .................... 2,000 Inside Equipment and Repairs.................... 17,000 Outside Equipment and Improvement.............. 18,000 Total ..................................$361,650 llfli mil ftlil tlf Hd ' Tvr 11 It 1 M Page Eighty-two ' V ' T _, f, ;-•• ; t. ?2:ra ' -‘ jCr -;:,;-: m ¥ : 1 II Iii the thirty-eight years prior to President Bizzell’s administration, the State of Texas had appropriated approximately $1,250,000 for buildings and permanent improvements. In the three years that he has been the head of the College, the State has appropriated for the same purposes a total of $859,150, or more than two-thirds as much as had been appropriated before in the entire history of the College. This remarkable showing is due very largely to the effective presentation by the President of the work of the College to the mem¬ bers of the Legislature, and the confidence in which he is held by the people of the State generally. These buildings and improvements have been the means of giving to the people of Texas one of the best equipped institutions in the South, and one that is thus enabled to make its influence felt more and more in the up building of the entire state. EXTRA—MURIAL ACTIVITIES Foremost among the plans of President Bizzell is that of creating a greater field of usefulness to the people of Texas for the College through the extension service, the experiment stations and the publicity department. The College was exceedingly fortunate in securing Hon. Clarence Ousley as Director of the newly organized extension service, in 1914. Mr. Ousley has gained national prominence through his contributions to literature and his con¬ structive work in the agricultural world. The Smith-Lever Act of Congress, which has for its purpose “Extension in Agriculture and Home Economics,” gave a great impetus to the work of extension all over the country. Mr. Ousley’s experience and training fitted him eminently for this work, and his wonderful insight into the needs and problems of the farmer, and the organization which he has built up in three short years, have produced re¬ sults which have many times repaid the state for its appropriations to Ihe work of extension. The following partial summary of the work done in the biennium ending August 31, 1916, gives some idea of the value of the Extension Service to the people of the State. Farms under demonstration, 3,589, with an increase in corn yield, of 12.7 bushels per acre, compared with other yields in the neighborhood, and an in¬ crease of 341 pounds of seed cotton per acre, and an increase of eight bushels of wheat to the acre, with like increases in grain sorghums, Sudan grass, peanuts, potatoes, etc. Purebred livestock caused to be purchased for breeding purposes, 5021. Dipping vats caused to be erected, 181. Cattle dipped under direction, 369,141. Hogs treated for cholera, 15,112. Farms terraced, 811; acreage, 56,486. Farmers’ organizations by neighborhood and county for various purposes of concert of co-operative marketing, 203; with a membership of 10,955. The report of the Director of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations for the biennium ending August 31, 1916, shows decided progress. The Station has not only carried more lines of investigation than ever before, but has carried on the work in a more efficient manner. The state, which has until 1 wJ Page Eighty-three S5£ ri?

As a result, the Station has been enabled to broaden and develop its work in a more thorough going manner than ever before. Experts in every field of agricultural work have been called to the service of the station, and the personnel of the Station Staff is now second to none in the United States. The new experiment station building, nearing com¬ pletion, will provide much-needed space for the proper development of the work in th e future. The systematic development of the eleven sub-stations has also greatly strengthened the work of the Station. Under the able supervision of Mr. Isaac S. Ashburn, now a Captain in the National Army, the publicity department has kept the work of the entire institution prominently before the people, through the daily press, by descrip¬ tive bulletins, exhibits at fairs, and in numerous other ways. Mr. Ashburn s work is being efficiently carried on at this time b 3 ’ Mr. Robert E. Conner. CONCLUSION Prexy came to A. M. with the class of 1918. What he found here was probably not entirely in accord with his ideals of what a first class college should be, and it did not take him long to realize that there were many things to be corrected before A. M. would be able to take its rightful place in the scheme of education planned for the State. But Prexy brought into his task at A. M. a seemingly inexhaustible fund of energy, enthusiasm, and devotion to the highest ideals of education, and the results of his labors are little short of marvelous. The Class of 1918 has watched his career closely and with great interest. At times we have not entirely agreed with him in his policies and his decisions. But the wonderful work he has accomplished in bringing the College to the front in the educational world immeasurably outweighs any minor criticism that might be brought against him, and the Class of 1918 wishes to express here and now its unbounded admiration for President Bizzell as an executive, a teacher, a man and a friend. His task has been great; too often he has had to bear his burdens alone; but with all the thousand and one problems, disappointments and petty vexations that have beset him, he has never deviated from the path of duty which he has marked out for himself and for the College, The Class of 1918 feels that it has been exceedingly fortunate in having his companionship and guidance throughout its College career. Very soon we shall have an active part in The Great Adventure, and not the least of the influences that will keep our minds clean and our hearts strong to “see it through” to the dawn of a better world will be the wise counsel and the uplifting personal example of William Bennett Bizzell. We cannot hope entirely to repay our debt to him, but, in the words of Byron, “If ever fondest prayer For other’s weal availed on high Ours will not all be lost in air, But waft his name beyond the sky.” 11 II tel Page Eighty-four Page BIZZELL HALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION 1 | rS “ !ii a m 71 u mpmnriam vM rf m tii i la ' Mkh 18 ! ! amli GLiE 3lutt?

' f .JR To the Class of 1917-18:— Our paths crossed for the first time in the eventful days of September, 1914, when I came to the College in an oflicial capacity and you came to begin upon your college courses. We were strangers then, but there were many ties that bound us together even in the first year of our contact in the College. It is needless to remind you that these years have been important ones for all of us. I have watched your progress and development with the keenest interest and it has been gratifying to observe the record you have made. Some of you have revealed qualities of leadership and others have manifested appitudes and talents along various academic lines. The satisfaction of serving a great stu¬ dent body is in seeing these qualities emerge as factors in personality. The years comprehended in your college career have been in many respects the most unusual in the history of the world. Never perhaps since the dawn of recorded history have transformations been so rapid. Public opinion has shifted so often as to leave us in an entirely new intellectual world from that in which we lived in the autumn of 1914. It seems fortunate that your academic career should come during this remarkable transition. At your age in life it is easier to make the intellectual re adjustments that the new order of things has produced than if you were older and your life cast in a different atmosphere. It is regret able, however, that so many uncertainties, due to war con¬ ditions, have come to destroy your peace of mind in the year that you had looked forward to as the triumph of your academic career. In the first place the opening of this season was saddened by the fact that more than half your number had answered the call of our country since the close of the academic year 1916-17. Many of you returned with the full understanding that you would not be permitted to complete the years work if the war continued. Day by day you and I have seen this or that member of your class withdraw from school to enlist in some branch of the army service. We have honored them for responding to their country’s call, but it would be less than human to expect us not to be saddened by their departure. Personally, I had looked forward to the day of your graduation with un¬ usual anticipation of pleasure. I had taken pleasure in calling you “my class. ' ’ Time and again you have extended me thoughtful Courtesies and at all times you have rendered helpful assistance and cooperation. I, therefore, had hoped that we might make the commencement of 1918 the most pretentious and most successful in the history of the College. The uncertainties of war has made that impossible. Few of you will be permitted to complete your course and we will be denied the joys of a great Commencement. But my interest in you will not be abated when the year is closed. I will follow your careers with the keenest interest and the highest expectations. My faith in your success and fideilty to every duty is not beclouded by a single doubt. One of the satisfactions that will come to me in the after-years will be that I knew you and that we had the pleasure of working together in the eventful years of 1914 to 1918. Faithfully yours, W. B. Bizzell, President. $ Page Ninety-one . yUU -. YORKTOWN DALLAS A gronomy Civil Engineering Age, 22; First Lieutenant Co. “E-2nd”; Sergeant “F-2nd”; Private Co. “B”; S. A. A.; Turkey Trot Club.

He can enjoy a joke thoroughly provided it is of the perforated kind. He claims to be “girl-proof,” but we know way down in his heart of hearts he will go the matrimonial route to happiness. His route to success is al¬ ready surveyed. His enthusiasm over his work well indicates his hobby. His scientific exactness, as a disciple of Dr. Ball, leads us to predict that the field of Biology is destined to be enriched by his labors. gridiron. The same tenacity and dis¬ regard of personal safety that landed him in the position of a valuable man on the squad in football, made him tenant of similar quarters on the basketball squad, and the baseball team of his company. The above sounds, rhetorical and, in plain Eng¬ lish, we continue to say that far above his athletic ability scintillates the coruscation of his intellect. Yea! His dome runs with the smoothness of a jellyfish sliding on vaselined ice. In spite of his one year at State, he is a full grown man with the friendship of three years at A. M. back of him.

He has specialized in Agronomy and is a disciple of Dr. Morgan. He has several new theories concerning Mendelism and can keep one in¬ terested for hours at a time on this subject. He knows the subject from beginning to end. One in need of knowledge on the subject of the pro¬ duction of sweet potatoes and peanuts on Brazos County soil, would do well to consult him. He also has a line on the fertility problem. “DAN,” “DANIEL” “Haughty and handsome, and a lady’s man, Called Daniel by his friends, and sometimes Dan.” He claims no relation to Daniel of Biblical fame, but this youth so blythe and debonair could probably show the other Daniel a new wrinkle on the delivery stunt, if he too were placed in a lion’s den. You will always find him with a ready smile and a store of original wit. Dan has always held enviable positions in military, social, and athletic phases of college life, and is rated as one of the most brilliant among the C. E. Seniors.

W.” “W. W.” spent his first year in common with the rest of his class in becoming acclimated. His second year was spent in being a Corporal. It was only in his Junior year that he branched out in fields of work other than Chemistry. In experimental electricity his work was viewed with interest and alarm by his instructors. Warren holds enviable records in both scholastic and military lines. The honor of being distinguished each year in class work and of being Cap¬ tain of a company attest the fact. His determination to finish whatever he begins, and the ease with which he accomplishes hard tasks speak well for his future. “ABE” Abe is one of those earnest fellows who believes that there is a time for all things worth while, and he be¬ lieves in giving work its share. “Frivolities are all right, but they must not usurp,” says this man from Clarendon. He resembles the great emancipator, and this has led to his nickname, “Abe.” But the likeness is not confined to appearance, for, like Lincoln, this man is a “digger.” What he goes after he gets, but he gets it fair. Resolute, quiet, energetic, honest, Abe has won the respect of his classmates and we look for him to make a mark that is far beyond the reach of most men.

His love for woo¬ ing Morpheous is only excelled by his frequent desire to visit in Houston. During his Junior year his one am¬ bition was that he would not have eight o’clock classes when he became a Senior. “Chubby” will testify that Charle’s Law is correct and that Mendeleeff w r as an accomplished chemist. “BENARD” Benard is a man whose outward appearances portray him as a very serious individual; but his acquaint¬ ance proves him to be quite the op¬ posite. He is a man of strong con¬ victions and possesses the power of backing them up. In engineering he is making good; in the social world he has made good. Girls by the score have sought him, but one only has found him. Though an engineering student, he has evinced a decided in¬ terest in agricultural subjects. Thesis: Watermelons.

He is quick to grasp the “gist” of a sub¬ ject, and is confident enough of him¬ self to trv things on his own initiative. A straighter, cleaner, fairer, more broad-minded man will not be found anywhere. What more desirable qualifications could any man have? PORT LAVACA Animal Husbandry Age, 20; Second Lieutenant Co. “D-lst”; Sergeant Co. “D-lst”; Sophomore Co. “D”; Fish Co. “D”; Ross Volunteer. “CHARLIE” This young man possesses an un¬ usual talent for music. Indeed you can always hear him before you see him. Since his first appearance on the campus he has made scores of friends whose memories will always burn with fond recollections of Charlie. Since the day of his enroll¬ ment he has met with unusual success in his Academic work. Despite the magnitude of his correspondence, he has met every problem in a winning way. To the world of Animal Hus- bandrymen this man is an asset of much worthy note. The absence of Charlie will leave a place hard to fill,—but Texas calls him.

CLEBURNE Animal Husbandry Age, 23; Second Lieutenant Co. “D- 2nd”; Private “C-2nd”; President Johnson-Hill County Club ’17-’18; Drill Master at B. B. A. “CLARENCE” Clarence is essentially a gentleman. In his daily actions he always shows the deepest consideration for the feel¬ ings of others, and never allows the petty adversities of life to ruffle his calm and sunny disposition. He is a Christian and a man. It is not be¬ cause he is the best dancer in school, or because of his Saturday night fudge or because he can make a piano do his will that people like Clarence. It is because he is made of the material for which Diogenes searched. Gener¬ ous almost to a fault, clean all the way through, this boy from the town ice came from has made his class¬ mates respect him. But a bad habit it is to study “Deutsch” in Hydraulics class. And, Oh yes! He can’t re¬ member what “Jimplecute” stands for. “JARVA,” “BULL” Looks American, is really a Texan, but early showed the foreign trait of having too many names, acquiring in rapid succession the appellations of “Chem,” “Jarva,” “Bull” and “Com¬ mandant.” Became a disciple of Johnny Burns, for which he was con¬ demned to Bellology. Claims to be equestrian in his habits, but was not cut to fit around a horse. During his senior year he has taken part in many student activities. However, none of this has interfered with his college work. If you want to know who’s boss of Austin Hall, walk into Room 11 without knocking.

Big in stature, big-hearted, big in view¬ point, and big in intellect, “Brunnie” is a quiet, masterful, unassuming gentlemanly fellow. He is respected by everybody, feared by a few, and envied by many. A natural leader, is at the front of his classmates in everything. His is a character that fairly radiates good feeling and friendliness. If the A. M. College succeeds in turning out one such man as this every year the state will be more than repaid. PINE BLUFF, ARK. Animal Husbandry Age, 22; First Lieutenant Co. “F- 2”; Sergeant Co. “F-2”; Sophomore- Fish Co. “M”; Wanderers Club; S. A. A. “CARNIE” “Carnie” is a serious minded, good natured fellow, with a host of friends on the campus. His college career was started in the University of Ken¬ tucky, but one year there was suffi¬ cient. He has displayed his ability here, in having never failed in a course and his hobby is organic chemistry, except that part that “Windy” Brown blew out. “Carnie” has determined to return to Arkansas, raise pure bred stock and show a few of the natives some points other than on “razor back” hogs, in regard to stock raising. His patience and de¬ termination, shown in completing his work, and securing accurate results, leads us to believe he would fall noth¬ ing short of even a real chemist.

East Texas Club; Corporal Band; Battalion Staff ’16; “PHHR”; Finance Committee ’17. “A D.,” “ALFRED” “Alfred” came to us from the city of Bryan in 1913; but because he did not walk in the straight and nar¬ row paths of “Lantern Jaw” Nichols and “Slim Jim,” he is now a member of the ’18 class. He is very quiet and looks on everything in the most opto- mistic spirit possible. He has always been a loyal member of the “Old C Company,” and an ardent follower of Prexy’s pet rule, concerning Fish. He is a man of strong moral char¬ acter and we know that men like him from A. M. will make marks for themselves and their Alma Mater in the years to come. “BURR HEAD” Cooper is Captain of the “pepiest” band in the memory of the Senior Class. They know how to play and are more than willing to deliver the goods. The band is so much a vital part of the College that it is hard to fully realize its importance. It’s the life of our famed “pep,” and the en¬ thusiasm displayed by the Band has more influence on the students than would be conceded, ordinarily. That is why we all watch the Band’s Cap¬ tain, at the beginning of the year, wondering just how much spirit and enthusiasm he can instill into his men. That the Corps brags of its band as it does of the teams, is evidence of “Burr Head’s” success.

He is a quiet, unassum¬ ing fellow, and as an all round, well developed man, he has few superiors. He is a student, an athlete, and a soldier. Not only has he strived hard in his class work, but also in ath¬ letics. While hardly in Frank Gotch’s class as a mat man, he is a hard one to pin. For three years company ath¬ letics have had him, but this year finds him working hard for a place on the Aggie Football machine. His physique is a challenge to all men to train and live right. GRAND PRAIRIE A griculture Age, 22; First Lieutenant Co. “A- 1st”; Sergeant Co. “E-2nd”; Corporal Co. “M”; Fish Co. “M”; Ross Volun¬ teer. “R. D.” To merely be a good fellow doesn’t say much. But when you can say he is a good fellow and a real man, then you have paid him an attribute of which few men are worthy. The name R. D. Crawford deserves all this. “R. D.” came to A. M. with that earnest desire and determination which says “I’ll win.” He has won the friendship of all his classmates and has gained the confidence of all his acquaintances. We make no hesitancy in saying that he is a credit to the department of which he is a graduate. Now he has reached the end of his journey. The commence¬ ment of a vocational career has dawned upon his brow. He is equal to the occasion.

G.” is a quiet, good natured fellow who has made many friends while at College. He has shown much more agricultural than military apti¬ tude, although not found lacking in the latter. Norman’s path has not by any means been strewn with roses, for he has had an up-hill climb since early boyhood. His four years teach¬ ing prior to entrance here gave him a deep insight into humanity, amply preparing him to direct his efforts in college. He goes about his work with a vim and determination that char¬ acterizes a good student and a man of the future. Here’s to you Crocker; we all know you as a man.

His greatness became noticeable in his “fish” year, when he went out for baseball. Fate has dealt gently with “Tommy,” for instead of growing up he gets younger everyday. “Little Crablet’s” winning smile and unusual personality with his desire to help and advise those in trouble will always assure him a host of friends wherever he goes. “Tommy” is a hail fellow well met, admired by all who know him, a clean sport, out spoken, courageous fellow with the power to make things go.

As a social lion he is without a peer and his mort¬ gages on hearts are numerous. With the “powers that be,” Doney is re¬ garded highly, especially in the mili¬ tary department as is shown by his catalogue of ranks since entering school. With all his faults “Wolf” is a man who is respected and ad¬ mired by all who know him.

He watched it all day and when he saw it setting away to the westward, he straightway followed it until he reached A. M. Ervin is not famous as a “Ring Tail” Roarer, but he has made a name as a man. Everybody admires him and his friends are all who know him. He has the character of his native state developed in the Lone Star manner. He has the courage of his convictions and conse¬ quently demands the respect of men. Stay in there “Guy,” we are all with you ! Page One hundred t a:o FT.

Every one with whom he is associated considers him their true friend. “Coxey” started his College career at Ft. Worth in Polytechnic. He followed that up by giving T. C. U. a try out, but finally de¬ cided that he had rather follow a transit than to follow Caesar through Gaul, and acting upon this wise de¬ cision, he entered A. M. in the fall of ’14. A man who can do things “Coxey” Evans has done, a man who can make the enviable scholastic record he has made, and a man who holds the warm friendship he does, is the highest type of American man¬ hood. COMFORT A griculture Age, 21 ; First Lieutenant Co. “C- 1st”; Sergeant Co. “C-lst”; Private Co. “C”; Fish Co. “C”; President Mountaineers; S. A. A. “E. K.” A glance at this fellow will reveal to you that he is full fledged Dutch¬ man, and though his path through school has not always been rosy, no one has ever accused Dutch of being a quitter. His predominant char¬ acteristic is persistance. Before com¬ ing to A. M., Dutch carried on a very successful career as a gentleman rancher, and to-day he dreams of the time when he can tack his sheepskins on the wall and devote his energies to scientific stock raising. When this dream comes true, “E. K.” will have realized his fondest ambition. Page One hundred three NAVASOTA Architecture MEDINA Animal Husbandry Age, 21; Second Lieut.

But through these three years the class of 1918 has come to realize that this muscular power is the least characteristic of the name. “Ox” has proven himself one of the strongest men of the class. This fact was clearly shown when he was made Captain of the Aggie team of 1917. Ford has made a record that will be hard to beat; not only has he shown himself to be a tower of strength in athletics, but he has proven himself to be a giant in his academic work. We shall always remember “Ox” for his three outstanding char¬ acteristics, mental ability, physical a- bility, and his mortal standards. “SLICK” “The main thing is to continue your zealous efforts and make good,” said Captain Charles Schreiner, as he pre¬ sented to Clifford the $500 Schreiner Scholarship awarded to him by the Schreiner Scholarship Board. “Slick” has made good. He has had no ad¬ vanced credits, no deficiencies. He has never met his Waterloo. He has vindicated the Board’s decision in a- warding him the Schreiner Scholar¬ ship. “Slick” Freeman is a fellow people like to be around. A well met, affable, mountain ranch product, cul¬ tured, ambitious, and ready for life. His high standards will always de¬ mand the admiration of his many friends.

A. “JOE” It is commonly conceded that the strongest personality of the Senior Class is possessed by Joe Grace, bet¬ ter known as “The Big Swede.” Horatio Alger never made heroes whose valor exceeded or even reached that of the man whom the Seniors elected to direct the destinies of their class. When Joe entered A. M., his illiteracy was interesting. He had never seen into an Algebra or Geometry, but now he is the undis¬ puted leader of his classes. His Fish days were not unlike any other man. To his catalogue of honors, all that we can add is “Joe” is all that be¬ comes a man.” SAN ANTONIO Animal Husbandry Age, ‘20; Captain Co. “H-lst”; Pri¬ vate Co. “H-lst”; Corporal Co. “A”; Fish Co. “A”; First Serg.

M. at heart. “Tim” is one Dutchman that is big of heart and strong of arm. Many men are envious of his physique. All ad¬ mire him because he is a man in the truest sense of the word. His class¬ mates know “Tim” will make his presence felt by all those with whom he comes in contact. Success to you “thou squarest of all square heads.” Page One hundred five TROUP Horticulture Age, 27; Soph-Fish Co. “K” ’14; Andrew Moses Literary Society; Smith County Club, Private “F-2nd”; Horticulture Society Reporter; Second Lieutenant “C-2nd”; S.

Very naturally then, Hagan chose Horticulture as his profession. Hagan is too industrious a man at College to devote much time to Bryan society, but back at Troup he has a “bonnie lassie” waiting for him. He is a man of excellent scholarship; as evi¬ denced by the fact that he entered as a Sophomore Fish and has never flunked a subject. He is a man of strong personality and wonderful ora¬ torical ability. He leaves the College well prepared to meet success in life. This is the prediction of his many friends. “JOHN” John came to A. M. four years ago and Animal Husbandry has been an absorbing subject for him since that date. Though a quiet and un¬ assuming fellow, we all admire him for his high standing gained from his untiring efforts. We see him at his meals, in the class room, and working among stock he so ardently loves. During the summers he has spent much of his time hunting the javelina and cayote. We know he will make good and the class of 1918 wish him “all success.” Page One hundred six Aj.,-.......... .

But such was the case, when young Abe left his home to take up his abode on College soil. Abe never was “a hand” for studying when he did not have to, and now at the end of his career, he has a history that any one would en¬ joy having,—he has never made an enemy among his instructors. Al¬ though Abe’s military ability has not always been recognized, the authorities would always be forced to say, “Well, old Abe is all right.” With his faults, he has many virtues. He is a true friend to any one. As a stu¬ dent Abe is admired, as a classmate he is loved, and as a lover he is in a class of his own.

He is always in a good humor, and absolutely does not know the meaning of w orry. However, he is by no means frivolous, but he takes things as they come. Through no fault of his own, “Fredy’ is a native of Oklahoma, but as soon as he was old enough to care for himself he came to Texas A. M. More than being military he is a good fellow, and an all round college man. Most everyone knows and likes him, so here’s to you “Fredy,” do in the fu¬ ture what you have done in the past.

S. daily mail service between Houston and College Station. He is a regular subscriber to the ser¬ vice “that never misses a train.” However, Jack does other things be¬ sides writing and receiving, a letter a day. His rare “line” and ready laugh makes him an important ad¬ dition to any “Bull Pen.”—and he doesn’t miss many. A glance at the above “pedigree” reveals a college career that may well be called en¬ viable. Throughout the four years of his college life, Jack has never made an enemy. His ability to stick to whatever he sets out to do, and to make friends, promises only the best of success for his future.

If you have the blues, he’s the doctor; if you get serious he will understand you; if you get “nutty” he will laugh. With¬ out a doubt, Sam is the best natured and most congenial Senior on the cam¬ pus. More than being popular he ac¬ complishes things. As a musician and leader, Sousa alone will compare with him. Stay in there Samuel, we are with you.

He is the wittiest man in his class, and is exceedingly fond of his studies, being particularly accom¬ plished in Manual Training, where his work gained such recognition that he was prevailed upon to retake this course several times in order that there might be the highest degree of co-operation between himself and the instructors. His favorite recreation is instructing “Cueball” in the high¬ er branches of Mathematics. Kelly is a railroad man, and his ambition is to renovate the T. P. from fish plates to president, and if his efforts are rewarded as they have been here, —success is his. “WILDER” When he is not asleep he is either studying or argueing, more probably the latter. As a favored suitor of Morpheus we envy him; as a student we admire him; and as an auguerer we—keep out of his way. “Wilder” is an ideal type of that class who believe that life is what you make it. He worries little and takes honors and failures with the same kind of a grin. He is the only person living who has shown up “Cueball” and got away with it. The record made by this man in college is an index to what may be expected of him in after life. We know that A. M. is to be strengthened by having men like Weilder Kenan claim her as his alma mater.

He is the only representative of “A” Company left of the notroious days of old. Agee is a good student, which statement is certified by his entering the Senior year without a deficiency. Maybe those of authority have not realized his importance along mili¬ tary lines, but the Ross Volunteers have, for they bestowed upon him the honor of Second Lieutenant of that or¬ ganization. This only shows that he is loved and respected by all who know him, and his friendship is held in esteem by those who possess it. “CUBA” “Cuba” Kingswell is a very in¬ teresting fellow; was born in Eng¬ land, hails from Cuba, has a home inAngelton, and spends most of his time in College Station. He has been everywhere, seen everything and has had many interesting experiences. “Cuba” is a quiet unassuming good natured chap, whose honesty and integrity are unquestionable. He has succeeded in completing the Horti¬ cultural Course in three years, being a distinguished student in his Junior year. From his splendid record as a student, his many friends prophesy an intellectual upheaval in the illiter¬ ate people of Cuba when he returns.

He is, due to his great per¬ sonality, a natural leader of men, and the class of ’18 early realized his ability to do things. “Knick” is democratic and a diplomat, yet he is straight from the shoulder in assert¬ ing the things he deems right. The authorities have not been slow in see¬ ing his value, as is seen in their plac¬ ing him at the head of the corps. All in all, “Knick’s philosophy of life has been as expressed in this: “I dare do all that becomes a man, who dares do more is none.” CAMERON Animal Husbandry Age, 21; Second Lieutenant Co. “D- 2nd”; Sergeant Co. “D-2nd”; Private Co. “L”; Fish Co. “L”; Milam Coun¬ ty Club ’18; Red Headed Club ’15. “RED” “Red” is a man whom you have only to know to like. His unassum¬ ing nature and his many good quali¬ ties have made him many friends. His mind is devoted to ingenious schemes to alleviate the routine ex¬ istence of school. Many would work if they only were practical, which they usually are not. He has only two weaknesses. One of them is the love for classical music and the other is an “errotic tendency” to love the fair sex. He has other hobbies, such as automobiles, but they are not so pro¬ nounced. As a serious minded thinker and worker, he excells. It is in this role that he has become known and respected by his various friends. All who know him can predict only a happy and successful future and their best wishes and affections will follow him wherever he may go.

This is the way the Senior class feel toward Rex Leary. He was born on the Emrald Isle and possesses all the characteristics of the Irish peo¬ ple. Rex is a hard working, studious, and intelligent young man. He went into his course to get the most out of it; that he has succeeded every one will agree. During his four years here, he has put his every effort to the betterment of the school. In the fu¬ ture he will be able to say, “I left it better than I found it.” It may be said of Rex, “He is hated by none, admired by all, and loved by many.” Jt, f .

In his explanation to the “Bull” he claimed that he was out picking dew¬ berries. The Bull called him up to inquire further into the matter, and asked “Jay” why he was picking berries at that time of night. He promptly replied:—“I like dew-berries best when the dew is on them.” In the years to come we expect to hear from R. C. as being a breeder of fine stock, in the hills of West Texas.

As a Fish he was noted for his an¬ gelic smile and sweet disposition, but three different Commandants have proved too much for this disposition. As a Sophomore he was a kodak fiend and as a Junior he became the proud, but busy “mother of a com¬ pany.” A Senior now, he has dedi¬ cated himself to the pursuit of hap¬ piness with the E. E. Department as a side line. In both academic and mili¬ tary department, Tom has made good. He has never flunked a course, and as Captain of D-2 has made him¬ self the pattern of every man of that highly efficient organization. His number of friends is only limited by his acquaintances. Quiet and unas¬ suming, likeable and brainy, we know this man can accomplish any¬ thing he attempts.

This show ' s what the college authorities think of him. Better still, the men of his class have honored him with the greatest gift in their power, the class presidenc y in his Junior year. Ben is one of those fellows whose leadership shows up in a crisis, he is frank and not afraid to incur displeasure by doing what he thinks should be done. His ready smile and friendly word of greeting have made his friends number a legion. The hold that a certain heart in Austin has on him is remark¬ able for a man who has spent four years in A. M.

This man forms his own opinions and surmounts his own difficulties. With all his independent traits he is al¬ ways willing to lend a helping hand to his friend. He is a man who silently advocates the economy of words, for he never talks unless it is necessary. “Mac,” we fell sure that in after life you will reflect honor on our in¬ stitution and we who know you best can say with pride, “He is our friend, he is a good fellow, and, above all, he is a man worth while.” CARLSBAD Animal Husbandry Age, 22; Second Lieutenant and Supply Officer, 1st Battalion, 2nd Regiment; Sergeant Co. “E-2nd”; “T” in Football; Oklahoma Ft.

John goes to bed at taps and rakes in the “Kale” while the midnight mail “never misses a train.” With his store of experience, varied and interesting, John can entertain any crowd. Military never worried old John except in those days he had to drill and even now he says he de¬ sires to become a conscript. Fat has always proved himself a capable stu¬ dent. He gains the love of all his instructors through his knowledge and ability of expression. The class of ’18 is proud to claim this athlete as one of its members. Long will John Banning McKnight, the Aggies’ able guard, be remembered around College Station. Here is a man that believes “that all men are dishonest until they prove themselves otherwise.” Page One hundred fourteen ORANGE Electrical Engineering Age, 22; Second Lieutenant Co. “G-2”; Sergeant Co. “H-2”; Corporal Co. “F”; Ross Volunteers; Chairman Finance Committee; Thanksgiving Hop ’18; Football Squad ’15 and ’16; Student Council ’15; Long Horn Staff ’18. “APPLE SAUCE” I introduce to you a man Who always does his very best, Perhaps he’s not as great as you, But on a par with all the rest. Sometimes he errs and does things wrong, Because he’s human, don’t you see. But you can bet your last red cent, He’s on the square with you and me. His eyes are brown, his ears stick out; He has big feet, and chubby cheeks; He does and says what ere he thinks, But thinks a lot before he speaks. Can someone tell just how it is, That this said guy can get an “A,” While you and I can’t pass the course. He loafs, we work both night and day. He loves a girl, or thinks he does, And glories in his helpless state. We pray to God to wake him up, Before all help is too darn late.

As a disciple of, and a believer in, Captain Washam of “A” Company, William gave early evidence of his military ability. Al¬ ways a man of pleasing character and sunny disposition, Maxwell has made many friends during his college career. While always attending to his own business, he is thought by many strangers to be bashful, but this is not true as his many friends can testify. ' Phis man by reason of his pleasing manners and sterling worth is bound to make a place for himself in the world.

June is one whose aggressive spirit has won for him a place of dis¬ tincti on among his fellow students. To know him is to realize that his ideal of efficiency is worthy of his dis¬ tinction. The scholarly and tactful talents of this man are the chief assets to his success. June’s success in after life will reveal the fact to some part of our Southland that A.

He is gifted with the ability to lead and convince. Bryan demon¬ strated his ability to overcome all ob¬ stacles in his Junior year, when handicapped by seven weeks of ill¬ ness; he came back strong and passed all his work.

It is only through his untiring effort that at last he has reached the goal towards which he has been striving for the last four years. At present Fritz is planning to enter the Officer’s Training Camp with the rest of his classmates, after which time he expects to serve the country to the best advantage possi¬ ble. After the war is over, it is his desire to return home and there teach his people the sciences and arts of scientific farming and ranching.

When a Freshman we knew him as Dudley, but after baseball season we called him “Wrinkle” due to natural abdominal characteristics, which name has stuck with him through the three remaining years. During the Soph- Junior fight he stood “easy” the main objective of the invading forces, as he was the coveted Junior toastmaster. But his crowning success came w ' hen elected chief yell leader, an office which can only be held by a natural leader of men. We see him at each meal hustling, bustling, and bulling, “Houston Post, Lean on it.” A smile for every occasion and an occasion for every hour of the day.

At one time in his college career he was very ambitious and some of his ambitions were realized, but alas, he was sorely disappointed with some of them. He takes great delight in con¬ versing about Broadway and Fifth Avenue. The present Senior class certainly made a wise choice when they selected him to edit the Long Horn for of all workers and rustlers of dope in the universe “Swine” is unexcelled. Some say that he is im¬ pervious to the wiles of the fair sex, but those who know him best can testify that he is very “spongy.” JOLLY A gro?iomy Age, 22; Second Lieutenant Co. “G-lst”; Sergeant Co. “G-lst”; Cor¬ poral Co. “G”; Fish Co. “G”; Ross Volunteers; Junior Stock Judging Team; Long Horn Staff ’18; Decor¬ ation Committee R.

He is a product of that land of which we read about in the stories, the Ranch lands of Texas. Quite naturally, then, he has taken the theory of Animal Husbandry. His chief study is how to raise better cat¬ tle; his chief pleasure is cussing the Bull’s Office; his chief ambition was to make the Chicago Stock Judging Team; his chief occupation is writ¬ ing to—. (We cannot tell her name.) This little fellow will pass, and we, his classmates, believe in him and will back him to the limit.

He was rather young when he entered, but in spite of this fact he has made an en¬ viable record. A man that any one can be proud to have as a friend. “Jimmie” has gone through his four years without a deficiency, and is now a Senior of high standing, though he has never injured himself studying in any way whatsoever. The height of his ambition is to become a wealthy ranchman of South America. He swears that he is going there this summer, so luck be with you from the class of 1918. “SWAMP ANGEL” That swampy Louisiana was able to produce a man of Nash’s character is the eighth wonder of the world. Nash is one of the few college men big enough to realize the worth of leading a Christian life. He became closely allied with the Y. M. C. A. from the start, and has been one of its most earnest workers. A fear less man of honest convictions, he always follows the course he deems best. Lastly, Nash is a student of no mean ability. For this stalwart son of Louisiana, his many friends entertain the highest hopes; and a great measure of success surely awaits him in the open sea of life. ■ .

His highest ambition is to know something about everything. His favorite expression is “Tell me about it.” Shorty has the happy faculty of being able to say something when a Professor questions him on a lesson, he has never studied. You can’t keep from liking him. He is modest, but not backward, and is a friend who will stick by you. We recommend him highly. PARAHYBA DE NORTE, BRAZIL Mechanical Engineering Age, 21; Second Lieut.

When he arrived fresh from Brazil, he brought with him principally a wild look and an unlimited supply of rather unintelligible Portuguese; but in spite of these discouraging circumstances, English was the only subject in which his Freshman grades were not excel¬ lent. Since that time his English vo¬ cabulary and knowledge of the A. M. dialect have increased until now he supports the entirely American nickname “Spuds.” Rumor has it that in his own home town, the “renbor” practically runs the whole plantation; from present indications, Brazil is due a rather radical rearrangement along mechanical and military lines. Go to it, Lieutenant. God Bless You.

He came here to learn, he has learned; he came timid, shy, and re¬ cessive; he finishes strong, bold, and aggressive. He is not a ladies’ man, but no human is neater in dress or more polished in manner. Live stock is his line, and his demonstrated abili¬ ty with the college herd insures his future. His position on the Inter¬ national Live Stock Judging Team is added proof of his worth. His thou¬ sands of friends feel as sure of his future as they are proud of his col¬ lege record. “NOOKIE” Leslie E. Priester, better known as “Nookie,” came to us a lonely fish in 1914, unknown and without a repu¬ tation. Many boys come with a repu¬ tation and fail to live up to them, but “Nookie” came without a reputation and by his congenial personality and hard work has made one for himself. Everybody knows the “Priester Smile” —it means personality, steadfastness in his convictions, straight forward¬ ness and uprightness. If the world had all men like “Nookie” the offen¬ sive word “pessimist” would be driven out of existence.

Upon closer examination it was found to be supported by an equally innocent freshman. This proved to be none other than our re¬ nowned “W. J.” His ambition as an A. H. man reached its zenith w’hen he was named as a member of the Chicago Live Stock Judging Team. He is efficient in everything that he undertakes; he has a smile for all, a disposition that wins, and a combin¬ ation of self confidence, perseverence, and independence that makes him a leader. Even if he does not reach the top, he will have the consolation of having tried and that is not failure.

The presentation of college problems to him have had their effect. This man chose wisely and selected for his college work the course in Animal Husbandry. If you judge him from his success as an A. H. man that he will be a big asset to this industry, then you are right. He has won a place of distinction in the department. Now he is ready to go away from the halls of our distin¬ guished institution and fill his place in the world.

He is a good student as his record will show, and he has won great honor as an athlete for he has been All State Shortstop each year that he has represented his College. But this is not all. His friends showed their true faith in him when they bestowed upon him the Captaincy of the R. V.’s. This honor is a token of true friendship and ad¬ miration, and is the highest one with¬ in our College. “Trim” is a true friend to every one and to know him is to love him.

Before the year was over this fish had made a soft spot in the heart of every man in his company. His cheerful, friendly disopsition and generous na¬ ture have made him solid with his many friends among both students and officers of the College. He is a man who displays much tact; at one time dignified and sedate, at another over¬ flowing with pep, each appropriate to an occasion. His ability, high moral standards, and his character have created for him a reputation among his classmates that will live forever.

Willie’s greatest am¬ bition is to be a great speaker; he is a very enthusiastic speaker as his Professor, Mr. Brackett, can testify. By reason of his sunny disposition, this man has won his way to the hearts of all the cadets who have come in contact with him. Do not make the mistake that “Von” is re¬ lated to the Kaiser, for other people wdio have made the same mistake have thought themselves lucky to have escaped with their lives. “Von,” old boy, we predict a great future for you provided you elude the wiles of the gentler sex.

He was here when side walks were unknown. Even Uncle Dan was wearing short trousers when he arrived. He stuck; he more than stuck, he stayed, and he is still with us. When he leaves, his place can never be refilled. Always kind, affable, generous, and suave; we shall miss him. He will be gone, but he can never be forgotten.

The force that has made Sexauer what he is to-day is hard and sustained effort. His greatest desire is to invent something that wdll be inspearably connected with the name of Sexauer. “Big Chief” as a student has few equals. On the athletic teams none were more faithful in their training. His efforts were best re¬ warded when he became a weight man on the Varsity squad. No one who knows him will hesitate in pre¬ dicting for Sexauer a future that will be greater as time rolls on. “IVAN” Ivan is the name his mother chose for him; whether that name is a family relic, matters little to his more intimate friends, for that is the name by which he is known here. He has already made his mark, not only as a student but as an honest-to-good- ness scientist; his name will go down in Entomological literature as the first discoverer of the dreaded Pink Boll Worm of cotton in the United States. Among the many things that he knows is the value of a dollar; the few eagles that have had the mis¬ fortune to fall into his hands ex¬ perienced a life and death struggle to escape.

He came to us with a barely started secondary-school edu¬ cation and only those who were con¬ nected closely with his struggles know what it means to say that he came out master of the situation. Jack, with your kindness, with your ideals, with your gentlemanly characteristics, and with your devotedness to your chosen field, we see in you the making of a man whom old A. M. will be proud to own as one of her sons. “LITTLE JOE” And the Lord sent a prophet among us, from a class that went before,— at least we presume the Lord’s re¬ sponsible, for it’s generally accepted knowledge, that He is the source from whence all blessings flow. At any rate, there is a mutual satisfaction. Smilie is as “chuck-full” of spirit and good feeling as is a bottle of Cham¬ pagne. It took him about a week to know, and to be known by, everyone on the campus. He’s a hale-fellow- well-met, and his open h and and ready smile would transform a lamp- post into a thing of life and beauty.

In fact he first won notice around these parts by shuting out “Varsity” with two hits. But “Smitty” has other qualities; among these, his ability to judge live stock is preeminent. He made the Junior Stock Judging Team, and he is going to Chicago too. He has won the es¬ teem and respect of his classmates, for he is generous, big-hearted, always willing to help one out of a tight. He is an all-round likeable fellow. A man with convictions is this Blanco product, and the pretty part is that they are usually the right ones to have. Smith’s ambition is to hit a home run against Varsity.

M. very young, although well prepared in his academic work from Allen Academy. Out of the thirty Freshmen who started with him in Co. “E” four years ago, he is one of the three who stuck it through. His nickname “Brigham,” is not due to the fact that he is a blood relative of the dis¬ tinguished Professor, but was due to the fact that he hailed from the same town and desired to follow in his footprints. “P. L.” has an extra¬ ordinary personality, always ready to assist, whole-heartedly and without reserve whenever and wherever a good is to be accomplished. We know his ability and listen potently for the praise of him by the multitudes.

Every movement for a cleaner, more wholesome life has found him one of its staunchest supporters. His char¬ acter is beyond reproach. “Reveille” has always taken an interest in the welfare of those around him. In company athletics he is a prominent figure. Snow is a quiet fellow, but when he says a thing, it has received thought and to be intended to follow. Altogether, Snow is a man. “VON” Cuero not only has turkey trotters, but also a fox trotter in Staerker. “Von” has reached the goal; a broad¬ minded, clear-sighted man. One thing must be said of Staerker and that is his earnestness. His every effort is an earnest effort to become more fitted for the future. Staerker has accomplished what very few can say. He has advanced socially as well as mentally. If there is any one that can boast of many lady friends, Staerker can. Among both sexes he has the ability to convince. There need be no fear for what the future will bring forth. Page One hundred twenty-eight SAN ANTONIO Horticulture Age, 23; First Lieut. Co. “F-lst”; Second Lieut. R. V.; Asst.

Throughout his four years stay he has always stuck with his class and fought for its rights. As Sophomores we remember him when capturing the Junior’s toast¬ master, and as Juniors, we all know he was in the midst of the Junior- Soph 3 a. m. fight. And now a mem¬ ber of the Senior class he has made good; our class on top and we do not hesitate to give him his full share, due to its success. Not a dreamer, but a hustler, securing results for every day’s work. HENDERSON Textile Engineering Age, 23 ; Major 1st Bat., 1st Reg.; 1st Sergeant Co. “D-lst”; Corporal Co. “D-lst”; Fish Co. “D”; T.

No, he is not a “pug.” That is just his name and he is a “Champ” from the word go. He is genuine and the word “Sterling” is the trade mark of his make-up. Every one on the campus appreciates this man’s ability, and his name will be found wherever real work is to be done. The students, the faculty, and the military authorities of the college all know him, and each in turn have bestowed upon him some rank or office which reveals their confidence in him. He is frank, fair, aggressive, sincere, and determined. What more can be said of him? Nothing.

He has been “ex¬ posed” to Animal Husbandry while here, but we believe that the lights of Chicago attract him more than the ranch. A man with his abilities and strong personality can not fail to do well in the world, for these reasons, we as a class, truly predict great things from our friend.

He always enters into his work with the same vim that he plays. He is famous among the companies for his basketball ability, and his playing in all contests showed him to be a clean sport in every sense. Louis’ winning smile with his big heart has won him a host of friends. There is also something about Tighe that attracts the ladies.

K.” Knox is one of those fellows to whom it comes natural to know just what to do, and he is not afraid to do it. He has done one thing that very few cadets can boast of,— climbed the flag pole, an eighty-foot distance over which fifteen minutes is excellent time. And did you ever hear him say a bad word about any¬ body? He is one of these fellows with a smile that won’t come off. In¬ cidentally, Company “C” insists that Knox is the best captain that ever wore a sabre. Genial, good-natured, a ready con¬ versationalist, “Rus” is a man we are proud of. Moreover, we have a right to be. He finished a four-year course in three years, was classed a “Dis¬ tinguished Sophomore and Junior. He is a money-making man, having made much more than his college ex¬ penses while here. He also has found time to be a regular college man, was on the Battalion Staff once and was elected Editor of the “D-2nd” Special Edition. He is proudest of his place on the judging teams. He has been College Shepherd two years, and is a livestock specialist. His mind runs along the lines of livestock and ranch, with the ranch “house built for three or four or maybe more.” Page One hundred thirty-one SAN ANTONIO Architectural Engineering Age, 21; Second Lieutenant Co. “D- 1st”; Junior Corporal Co. “C-2nd”; Private Co. “G-2nd”; Christmas Fish Co. “M”; Editor Architectural Year Book; Assistant Art Editor Long Horn; Vice-President Architectural Club; Assistant Manager Architectur¬ al Year Book; Architectural Club. n.

M. have been made full by his tireless efforts to master his chosen course. His work as Assistant Editor to this book is sufficient proof of his ability as an artist. As Editor of the Archi¬ tectural Year Book, he has ably repre¬ sented the spirit and work of that de¬ partment. His favorite sport is chess, and in this he occasionally slips one over our “Deak” or “Pee Wee.” He is a track man of no mean ability. “FELIX” Here is a man who has had but few things to worry over since he came to College. He isn’t frivolous by any means, but takes things just as they come. He never shirks responsi¬ bility, for nothing is too hard for him. He wears that same ready smile every day, and is always willing to help a friend who is in trouble. Felix has always stood for the better things in college life and has t aken an active part in all student activities. Felix has made good as a Mechanical En¬ gineer and we stand with him always.

He is one of the most intellectual men of the class, a hard worker, out-spoken, up-right, and has the very highest of ideals. Still there is a strange something that pro¬ vokes the deeper respects that is paid him. As Editor-in-Chief of the Bat¬ talion, he undertook to publish a pa¬ per which would be of vital interest to and absolutely representative of the corps. In accomplishing this he has incorporated into the policy of the paper his own straightforward meth¬ ods of honesty and his high-minded¬ ness. But incidentally he has a de¬ cided weakness for a little town called Goldthwaite. “WHIP” While “Whip” was a member of the “Imps,” he learned that it was best to do the right thing. With this early training, we are not surprised that he has achieved much. “Whip’s” ability along other lines was early recog¬ nized by Prof. Ridgway, who, for the past several years, has had special work in the Dairy Department done by “Whip.” This afforded him an opportunity to travel over the State in the interest of this work. Carl is too young to go to war; so he has his head set on going to the farm. If he takes along the lady whose picture hangs on the wall, we can certainly predict his success. Any one could succeed with her as a helper. Page One hundred thirty-three serf ‘-r t SSsSss ja pBai Jk .: j • ' •■•-•. , . 1 ■ , :: I ' C ' . r . .

He joined the National Army as a private and was promoted at once to the rank of First Sergeant. At A. M. he was high in his class work as well as in mili¬ tary. As a stock judger he was ex¬ cellent, and would more than likely have made the Chicago team had he remained in College. “Parson” is dif¬ ferent from most men you meet; he stands for what is right at all times, and when he once takes his stand he can’t be changed by man, God, or the Devil. We have great confidence in you, Parson, and the part you will do in winning this war. P. G. BECKER FORT WORTH Age, 22; Sergeant U. S. Army; Sergeant Co. “D-2nd” ’16-’17; Private Co.

We are going to ex¬ amine the smallest man on earth with the largest heart and biggest princi¬ ples that a man ever had. All hail Phil, it could be no other—lacking a few feet in stature, but having a hun¬ dred friends for every inch of him! He was always one of the bunch—he never failed a friend—he was the kind that when a thing is once begun, never leave it till it’s done. And though little, Gee! wasn’t he loud! Especially with the ladies. A regular smasher! The only rival Vernon Castle ever recognized ! Now he is very likely disporting himself among the fair damsels near one of our great army camps for when our President, acting for our country in this time of need, called for men, Phil was one of the first to go. We don’t know what he will do when he reaches France, but if he only does in the future as he has done in the days of yore, we will put our stakes on little P. G. Au revoir—till we meet again!

A. “HUGH” One look at Hugh’s pedigree is suf¬ ficient to convince us that he excelled in everything. To be president of both the Fresh and Soph classes is in¬ deed distinction. To make a “T” in two sports is a highly prized honor, and to make the Ft. Worth and the Chicago Stock Judging Teams is an height reached only by a selected few. Thus, it is seen that Hugh excells in all phases of life—athletics, academic work and leadership among his class¬ mates. Hugh left us to go in the training camp and there also he exceeded, for he came out with his commission. Un¬ doubtedly, Hugh will do credit to himself, his school and the class of ’18. “GOAT” Brotherton entered A. M. with several hundred other “fish” in the fall of 1914. His cheerful and friend¬ ly disposition soon made him one of the most popular men in his class. He retained his popularity throughout the years spent at A. M. and was a favorite with both students and in¬ structors. He made a good record as a student and endeared himself in the hearts of all who knew him. He is with the colors now and his many friends firmly believe that he will prove a credit to Uncle Sam and the old Was School.

He was a two letter man, hav¬ ing won a letter in both football and baseball. Not only was he a good athlete, but a good all around man, one that you could always rely on whether in work or play. Now he has been called to serve his country and we know that he will make an en¬ viable record when he goes “over there.” We miss him very much, but we are glad that we have a man of his type to help represent this college in the great struggle. “BOB” “Bob” left us last year to answer the call of Uncle Sam. He made good at Leon Springs and is now a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry. Although Camp left us, and is no longer seen on the campus, he is not forgotten by his classmates. While he was here he made many friends who will re¬ member him through life. Bob was a good military man as well as an ex¬ ceptionally good student. He will make good at any task he may under¬ take, and we, the class of 1918, will always remember him with the high¬ est of regards, and give him our un¬ ceasing support, till we meet again.

Snip had a char¬ acter all his own,—he could be as quiet as one could want, and then a- gain, he could stay in the rarest of bull pens and more than hold his own. Snip varied as did the weather, but then we usually have “bright” weath¬ er. His Chicago widow kept him go¬ ing and we can’t blame him at all. But really Snip was a man of strong mental and moral qualities. He was as steady in his habits as the earth is in its rotation. Snip knew what he wanted to do and he had enough force behind him to carry out his in¬ tentions. That is all any man needs. “QUAKE” Did you ever read those stories of the old south by those masters Read, Page and Fox? Did you then relax and close your eyes and draw a men¬ tal picture of the young man of that day. If you did you saw a clean cut, clear eyed, good-natured happy-go- lucky person that lived for the joys of living. A person who places friend¬ ship alongside kinship, one who, as he journeys through life lives by the way; wins without “bragging” and loses with a smile; and when the su¬ preme test comes, makes good. Such a person is Quaite Dodson, a typical Southerner,—could we say more for him? And when the supreme test came, “Quaitus” made good by leav¬ ing behind him one of the best records made at Leon Springs.

Grover Cleveland Dodd, otherwise known as Horseradish came to A. M. with a determination to make good. That he succeeded in this can¬ not be denied by any one. Although he was forced to remain out of school one year on account of his health, he came back stronger than ever and would have finished his course with his class had he not answered the call to the colors. Of Horse Radish’s ability and char¬ acter, too much cannot be said. He always ranked at the head of his class and was a true martyr of the ’18 class. As a first sergeant of the band, he was one of the best since the band was organized. Also he was one of the leading clarinet players. Without him the band was unable to do their best. What it took to put pep in musics he had it. Horse Radish is making a howling sutcess now and we are confident he will continue to do so. “TUBBY” Uncle Sam called for him in his Junior year and he answered the call. His many friends hated to see “Tubby” leave, as he was a man ad¬ mired and respected by them. Duke was a good natured, jolly fellow that made friends wherever he went. As a student he was a hard worker, never willing to give up. The great¬ est asset “Tubby” had was his big smile. As a gentleman Duke was a- bove reproach, and his life at A. M. was a shining example for everyone. When this conflict ends only honor and glory will be associated with this name.

No man ever had a truer friend than Pinto —a man who was slow in his de¬ cisions, but always sure in his con¬ victions—a man who would neglect his work to help others. We all know that we lost a man from the class when we lost Pinto; but we also know that Uncle Sam got a good man in the Army. “SAM” After looking the country over, Sam migrated to Texas and finally located at A. M. Coming from a foreign and strange land as he did, we all gave him the once over with interest. It took a very short time for him to accustom himself to our ways and enter our hearts. He had a willing and helpful hand that was always extended to everyone. Page One hundred forty JACK CORSADEN FINDLATER SAN ANGELO Electrical Engineering Age, 24; 2nd Lieutenant U. S. R.

College, no one is certain of, but we understand that he and “Uncle Dan” are side partners. It can never be said of Jack that he passed a subject and didn’t know all there was to it. It is said of him, that he passed a course in physics, but voluntarily took it over the next year because he thought he didn’t understand all a- bout it. A more conscientious, more earnest man will hardly be found any where. Jack’s friends are always his friends, which in itself sufficiently vouched for him. Tubby,—widely known in all por¬ tions of the campus, especially Mit¬ chell and Foster Halls. Tubby’s chief diversions were smoking his pipe and writing Maybel. Tubby’s ambition was to get ahead of someone—it didn’t matter to him who it was, just so he could plan for weeks ahead of time how to “let you down easy.” He would take a jaunt every Satur¬ day afternoon to see Maybelle, but who could blame him for that? Tubby fooled them all at this Col¬ lege, for we believe he got more good out of his work than he was given credit for. That he was smart is not doubted; that he was conscientious and energetic we all know and Tub¬ by will make good, we know, even if he has to fool the “bodies.” Page One hundred forty-one Chemical Engineering Age, 22; Lieutenant U.

In tennis he has a tremendous “cut,” a wonderful “lob” and speed is his pass word. His basketball renown in Com¬ pany circles is well known, his voice could be heard calling signals on the Company Gridiron. We miss old Fuzzy. If anyone doubts Fussies’ men¬ tal ability, all he need do is look at the course Fuzzy was taking and all doubts are dispelled at once. Fuzzy is a man of high ideals, and he has never been accused of shirking a duty. He meets men face to face and his conscience backs his every action. Fuzzy will indeed make a success. “FIREBALL” “CHARLES” “FIRE” Everyone knew “Fireball,” every¬ one from Fish up through the whole teaching staff. Fireball was about the best we ever had and we have seen at least six. Fireball had the Sophomores jumping continually, but deep down in their hearts they really liked him, they loved him so much that they carried him off at the time of the Junior Banquet. Charles was one of the strongest men in our Junior Class last year. His integrity was everyw ' here known and recognized to be true; his whole-heartedness in his w ' ork was an outstanding asset; his general likability was another. Every¬ thing good that can be should be told about “Fireball,” then you have a mental picture of him. cv Page One hundred forty-two WALTER GRESHAM HATLEY GALVESTON Mechanical Engineering Age, 22; Corporal Co. “B-2nd”; Sophomore Co. “F”; Fish Co. “F”; Member M.

He is a great dreamer and mari} r times when found in his room alone, “Rabbit” was building up big “air castles” about that little girl at home. To the ones who knew him well he was the best of companions and truest of friends. One could not help but appreciaate and admire him. Even though all his friends miss him, they are proud to know that Walter is now a member of the great army of Uncle Sam’s which is to save and uphold the liberty and democracy of the world. DWIGHT WINSHIP HOOPER MARBLE FALLS Civil Engineering Age, 23; Private Co. “D-lst”; C. E. Society. After completing satisfactorily the work up to and through his Sopho¬ more year at the University, “Joe” decided to give A. M. a try-out. He entered the C. E. Department as a Sophomore, but he was nevertheless a Soph “Fish,” and won for himself a good name and a good scholastic record. To the outside world, Joe appeared as a man of small stature, sunny dis¬ position and pleasing personality. But to those who are numbered among his friends—and they are many—he is known as the highest type of man—a man worth knowing. The Class is proud of him. Due to the activities of the Kaiser, Joe is not with us this year, much to our regret. He is wear¬ ing the Khaki, with a lot of other boys, but if he keeps on as he has started he will eventually be promin¬ ent in “Who’s who.” Page One hundred forty-three M ' V ' .v if rVy ' .-- JACK HART JAMESON MONTAGUE Horticulture Age, 27; Lieutenant Co. “F-2nd”; Sergeant Co. “F nd”; Private Co. “L”; Fish Co. “L”; Member of Horti¬ cultural Society; Northwest Texas Club; Austin Hall Shade. ‘DAD’ CHARLIE CULBERSON JOBSON MESQUITE A gronomy Age, 21; Company “E,” 1st Regi¬ ment; Corporal ’16; Regimental Sup¬ ply Sergeant ’17; Captain Elect Com¬ pany “E” ’18; Captain E-F Football Team ’17; North Texas Club; Dallas Club; Baseball Squad ’17; Finance Committee Thanksgiving Hop ’16; Corporal Company “F,’’ 359th In¬ fantry, October, 1917. Dear Old Dad waited for his second childhood before coming to A. M. He came here with a rich and varied past, which ranged from do¬ ing the Ichabad Crane act, to shooting up saloons and other institutions—of the lurid west. His favorite pastime was to gather a band of credulous fish about him and raise their hair with tales of his doings when in his prime. Dad was in love with his course and the Hort Department lost a good man when he failed to return. Instead of returning to graduate he went to work for Uncle Sam chasing the Pink Boll Worm to its lair and in¬ structing farmers how to raise better crops, until he is needed at the front in bumping Fritz off. He is a steady, reliable student and success will crown his efforts in any of his under¬ takings. “C. C. JOB” He was known to his friends as “Job.” Job was a man in the truest sense of the word. As a student he was far above the average. As an athlete he was one of the best in the company league. Job’s weak spot was in “penny anti” games. He could sit in a game all Sunday afternoon and win only a dime. Disappointment was the lot of E. Co. men when they learned that Job was in the National Army and would not return this year. Neverthe¬ less, we feel that however great our loss may be, we are fully recom¬ pensed by the knowledge that he has entered a greater and nobler service.

Without a display of any sort, Frank discards the uniform of a cadet for that of a regular and he goes into the service with the de¬ termination to make the most of his time and the advantages offered by the army. Few men have left more real friends behind them at A. M. than has Frank Judd. He has attended to his own business while here and we shall always remember him as a man and in every sense a gentleman. “BUCK” Our friend Buck has gone to the Army, but he is not forgotten by his classmates. Buck was one of the most popular men in his class. He is the kind of a fellow everyone likes, which is shown by his numerous friends. Buck has always had the reputation of getting what he goes after. He came to A. M. to make good in his course. He accomplished this as well as being one of the most popular men of his class, and also holding the highest rank in the Junior class. We hope to see him come back to A. M. for his sheep skin when he returns from the Army.

For three years the class of 1918 had no more energetic nor better student than George and to be called away in his senior year, when he was in a po¬ sition to render the class and school the most good, was one of the hardest blows dealt this year’s class. George has his enemies of course, but when a man is selected out of the one hun¬ dred and thirty to fill the most coveted position on the campus, that is, stu¬ dent manager of athletics, then he must also have some friends. George declares that the twenty-hour days at Leon are regular vacation periods after being under Robin a year and a half. HARRY BOWMAN MOSES BARNET Chemical Engineering Age, 21 ; Aviation Corps, S.

To land in Berlin is his present ambition—while at school his ambition was to get the best out of his course. He did the latter too, as his record will show 7 and we hope his training will enable him to invent some “reprisal gas” for the German Armies. Harry’s energetic, congenial, whole¬ hearted nature won him many friends while at A. M., and we expect an excellent future for him.

He won his fame in the 440 yard dash; “Bullet” was also one of C-D’s strongest men in football, most of their games were won by his strategy and swiftness. As a friend, gentleman and student, “Bullet” could not be equaled. He has all of the quali¬ ties and many excellent characteristics which are envied by all. “Bullet” decided that he could serve Uncle Sam better by training for an officer; when the Juniors left A. M. for Camp Funston he was foremost among them. He succeedd in satisfying Uncle Sam’s estimation of an officer, and at present he is a Second Lieutenant. We feel certain that he will succeed in the fu¬ ture as he has done in the past. “DAD” In thought, “Dad” was far too old to be here at A. M.—he went to the army, where he made good and received his commission as Second Lieutenant. “Dad” is an extremely deep thinker as his name signifies. Everyone likes Dad because he never “knocks” anybody or anything. No one ever had a truer friend than old Dad. As a society man he was right there. He had the reputation of never missing a dance. No doubt, had he come back he would have been “social secretary” of the Senior class. Dad is an excellent business man as shown by his being business manager of the Battalion. He has always had con¬ fidence in himself, which has helped him make his mark in this world. Page One hundred forty-nine 2nd Lieutenant U. S.

He left A. M. in May to attend the First Officers Re¬ serve Training Camp. During his first two weeks at Camp Funston he made such an impression on the com¬ pany commander that he was selected among 100 men in the camp to go to Fortress Monroe. After a short period of training at this latter place, Oliver received a commission as 2nd Lieut, in the Coast Artillery. During his three years at A. M. college he made many close friends. Oliver was one of the strongest men in our class and we regretted the fact that he could not return. At present he is in one. of the best branches of the Army. Oliver, we know, you will succeed as you have done in the past. “PRIME” A. M. lost an honor graduate, a clean sport, and a fine fellow when Prime joined the Army. If fellow¬ ship, coupled with a fine mind, have anything to do with advancement in the Army, Prime will go high. He was all that any mother could ask in a son. He came as a freshman and went as a Junior at a time when our coun¬ try needed young men of his stamp most. He saw his duty and met it, the highest praise that can b e given anyone.

Some men heed the call when others fail. Fred heard the call and responded. He left his class, entered the first Officers’ Training Camp at Leon Springs and made good. “Reg” chose as his course the art of handling electricity and after three years of hard study found that his genius lay in mechanics. He changed to the latter the last year at A. M. and met with great success. He was an excellent student and a hard worker. Fred made many friends during his stay at A. M., and though he failed to come back for his degree he is not forgotten. Ferdinand, we are proud of you—a success with credit to our College and our class. “RAIL HEAD” JOE “Rail Head” came to us from Hondo, although he won’t admit it and we don’t exactly blame him be¬ cause he is out of the Hondo class. Joe is an all around man. As an ath¬ lete everyone knows of his footall fame as well as his record as a track man. On the other hand he has al¬ ways made good in his courses. Joe is one of the best natured men in the world. He is everybody’s friend, and and everybody is his friend. “Rail Head” left A. M. with the Juniors who went to Camp Funston, where he made good and received his commis¬ sion as Second Lieutenant, Field Ar¬ tillery. Rail, here’s luck to you.

F.” This is a man who brought with him, when a Fish, a reputation as a stock judger. Since then he has al¬ ways led his classes as a Stock Judger and this year we miss him for a mem¬ ber of our Annual Chicago Stock Judging Team. Always full of enthusiasm in his work as well as for A. M. His many deeds of kindness have made an everlasting impression upon the Class of 1918. We know he has the fight in him as was displayed at the Junior-Soph, 3 A. M. battle. A sergeant now, but he will soon have a commission, for he has that A. M. spirit that is bound to win out. “A. J.” Many wondered why he went on so many furloughs. Few knew this man was a man with a family, but such was the case. His ability as a student and as a military man was early recognized. He was not only a distinguished student, but was rank¬ ing corporal of the Corps in his Sophomore year. Unlike most first Sergeants, he was liked in his Com¬ pany as well as out of it. Few rea¬ lized how our class needed him until Uncle Sam called him from us. Yes, he was quiet, but all knew him, and they still mourn his loss. It was the men of his calibre that make the name of the Class of ’18 famous. Page One hundred fifty-two SSgRMjlF MARION EDWARD SETTEGAST y HOUSTON, TEX.

No man has ever had more friends while in College than Setty, and he is a man who never lost his populari¬ ty. “Newt” never realized that he was graceful as well as powerful un¬ til his Junior year, when he broke out in society at the R. V. Hop. “Newt” was to be captain of 1917-18 football squad, but Uncle Sam’s call was too strong for him—he joined a truck company and was immediately pro¬ moted to master truckman. “Newt” has always been a success at what¬ ever he has gone into, and we hope he will make a name for himself in France as he has at A. M. “SHORTY” “Shorty” is one of those members of our class who heard Uncle Sam’s call and answered it, thereby sacrific¬ ing his diploma. This senior class thoroughly realizes the sorrows of war, since it has removed from our class one of its most likeable and bril¬ liant members. “Shorty” had plenty of time, while here, to make friends; for his college work came as a sort of second nature to him. We all love and admire him, and deeply regret his loss to our class; but we are sure he will accomplish wonders in the service of the U. S. army.

He was al¬ ways ready on the job and his at¬ titude and happy spirit gave him a firm place in the class. He helped us through the memorial days of Robin Beach and at one time drove a stal¬ lion in a four minute race at a county fair. He has great prohibition tendencies and it goes that when he visited a town it was dry for three weeks after¬ wards. He did not return this year, but we will always remember him as a big fellow in all ways and one of our real down to earth men. “WAR HORSE” You can go the world over and you won’t find another man just like War Horse. He is one of the few whom we have never seen disgusted with life or anything around A. M., except his old friend Brigham. He is good natured and never has been known to be mad. He always takes things as they come, and travels along the lines of least resistance. “War Horse” is a fighter, so when the Juniors left here for Camp Function, “War Horse” couldn’t stay away. At Camp Funston he made good as he has always done, and as we are sure he will do in the future. Page One hundred fifty-four DONALD ALFRED STEVENSON GALVESTON A gr iculture “COMMODORE,” “STEVE” It would be “nuf sed” to say that “Steve” was from Galeston and took a course in “Bug,” but Steve has gone further than that. Steve’s fish days were spent in misery in the dark recesses of Leggett Hall as a member of old F Company. It was in those days that Steve developed a great power to make speeches on silence. As a member of the discipline squad of B 2, he made a reputation for be¬ ing able to keep the fish in their seats at the mess hall. Steve’s main occu¬ pation was keeping quiet and study¬ ing. He was in the game for all there was in it. He did not mind a good joke in its place, but when the time came for studying and sticking to bus¬ iness, Steve had all that was neces¬ sary. Like many other A. M. men, he soon heard the call of his country and when the call came Steve an¬ swered wfith the same enthusiasm that he would witness a good football game. He went to the Leon Springs training camp and made good and at the present time is an officer in a regiment somewhere in California Indeed, Steve was one of the fellows in every way and we certainly hated to lose him this year. OTTO GURVAS TUMLINSON PLEASANTON A griculture Age, 21 ; Lieutenant in 357th In¬ fantry, Camp Travis; Sergeant Co. “C-lst”; Corporal Co. “C-lst”; Pri¬ vate Co. “C-lst.” “TUMMY” “Tummy” came to A. M. with the class of “17.” He was not blessed by being the son of a millionaire, for when he arrived here as a “Fish” he had $60.—since that time he had no money with which to pay his expenses except what he earned by hard labor. “Tummy,” although you did not re¬ ceive a “Sheepskin” from our noble institution, we feel that you deserve great praise for your work here and the sacrifice you have made. “Tummy” is now wearing the in¬ sigma of Second Lieutenant in Uncle Sam’s Army of patriotic men.

This fellow is typical of D Com¬ pany. He is good natured, easy go¬ ing and always has a pleasant word. With these qualities “Lit” combines scholarship and military ability as shown by his record in college. Al¬ though he was unable to return and complete his Senior year we remem¬ ber him as our friend, a scholar and a gentleman. “Lit” was noted for traveling along the lines of least re¬ sistance. While he was not exactly lazy, he was always willing to let the other fellow do his part. “Lit” is making a success now ' and we hope he will continue to do so. “A B” Weaver a man with a mouth as big as his heart. He has an erect figure, aided, with the ability to give commands in Man language that would assure him a commission in any army. Though he did have to wear suspenders to support his pants he could make Arthur Pryor hunt the woods when it came to slipping a slide trombone. We will miss Weaver’s midnight spasms, in w r hich he expressed his opinion in irate language of all the Profs in the E. E. Dept. He won his way into the hearts of all of us by his strong personality and it will be many a moon before we forget him.

A. “JEW” “Jew” started out with the present senior class to get a sheepskin in spite of his few deficiencies, and would have undoubtedly have gotten it had he stayed the whole year. He joined the Government forces to help eradicate the Pink Boll Work, and this kept him from graduating. “Jew” has the edge on the rest of his class in that he is good looking, but more than this he was one of the most popular men in his class. We all hope “Jew” the best success, and we are confident that he will do his part when it comes to cleaning out the Pink Boll Worm. “BILL,” “WESTY” Somehow we can’t help but admire old “Westy” on account of his manly makeup, even though he is a “Krout.” He stands for everything that he thinks is right, and everything he thinks is right is bound to be right. “Bill,” unlike most of us who came to A. M., has had many travels and experiences before he came here. But after all this he decided to be a farm¬ er; and no doubt would have made one that would come up to “Sammy Mac’s” ideals, had it not been for the war. Bill’s patriotism was too much for him, and at present he is a Lieutenant in the U. S. army. And we know Bill is making as good an Officer in the army as he would have made a farmer.

This is due to his concrete and high standard of ideals which he kept in mind both in the class room and out. As a me¬ chanical draftsman we find his section looking up to his work as having the qualities of accuracy and neatness to which a standard may be applied. In the true sense of the word, Ray is a man from every standpoint. The class of 1918 has regretted not having this representative from Lo- meta with them this year. However, their regrets are turned into praise when they remember that Ray is now with the colors as a volunteer. “SMOKY JOE” As we journey through life we meet many men, some of whom make no impression on us, and others merely impress us as good fellows while we are with them. However, now and then we meet a man like “Smoky Joe,” whom we all liked as a man, a friend and a true gentleman. Joe’s influence still lives on at A. M. and we all miss him. Joe was one of the most brilliant members of our class, and as a writer of poetry he was well known. Big, open-hearted, Joe, who would do any¬ thing to help his friends, heard his Country’s Call when war was de¬ clared and enlisted in the Navy. We don‘t know exactly where you are, “Smoky,” but we are all with you and wish you the success and hap¬ piness that should be yours. Page One hundred fifty-eight HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1918 Each for the Other, All for A. M.” When we think of history our minds immediately turn to a series of dates and battles. This is the wrong attitude, for history is a means by which we can measure our ad¬ vance. The class of 1918 has made a his¬ tory for its self, a history that will not soon be forgotten. Throughout the ages our history, of four short years, will speak for its self. We will merely tabulate in this, the history of our class of ’IS, a few of the changes we observed and the results we obtained during our college career. Now follow closely, dear reader, and I will take you from the beginning of the battle to the place where the vic¬ tory was won. FRESHMAN YEAR The class of 1918 started on its road to knowledge as “Fish.” We had three freshmen a- mong us we were really proud of — President Bizzell, Lieutenant Hill and Sergeant Hyland. They were our Ye old standpipe do you remember That moon-light night, the first of December, When to your dizzy height 1 ascended With paint pail on my arm suspended?

FIRST CLASS MEETING We had not gone far before we re¬ alized we needed or¬ ganization. Conse¬ quently, an election was called and, as a result, Hugh Brooks, a capable “Fish,” was president. Yes, we were hap¬ py, but we had a peculiar feeling. It was like unto the feeling of a stranger in a foreign land. Then, it was not long before we became ac¬ quainted with Iho Sophomores. Things had taken on a dif¬ ferent aspect. The “Sophs” made us feel perfectly at home. Then it was that “kike,” our dog mascot, came into our lives. But he only survived in this atmosphere a short time. He nobly gave up his life that I) o c t o r Francis’s veterinary students might learn. We, as freshmen, could claim no knowledge of mili¬ tary, even though we d i d occupy a very important place at Page One hundred fifty-nine HUGH BROOKS Our Freshman and Sophomore President all formations—the rear rank. But listen, from that rear rank Odl A. M. took some athletes who made her teams of ' 14 and 7 15 fa¬ mous. We gave such men as Settegast, Brooks, Brown, Rogers, Griesenbeck, Rigne}- and many others. In the fall of that year we enjoyed the foot¬ ball games. In some games we saj victory; in others defeat. We, with the rest of the Corps, enjoyed two trips that Fall, one to Houston and one to Dallas. We felt big parading in cities. Then we went home for Christmas where we related many wonderful stories. In the winter months we saw some good basket¬ ball games. OUR. FIRST HIKE Things rocked on this way until Spring when we all began to feel fresh and fine. In April, it was, the authorities called for a week of maneuvers, this week to be ended with a “hike” to the river. Fine “stuff” when we were “fish. 77 The sham battles, the running, the outdoor ilfe all appealed to the poor ignorant “Slimes,” as we were called. Yes, every one got to the river in fine shape and enjoyed the day—it was the trip back home that counted. Some arrived on the Campus strutting around like a Thanksgiving gobler, while others looked weak and dreamy eyed. How¬ ever, every man recuperated when he was informed Sunday was not far off. Then as the year rolled on we began to realize that many improvements were being made, and some had been completed. Thanks to our “fish, 77 Prexy, as we lovingly called him, the Campus was furnished with concrete walks. We began to love the school more and more. OUR FIRST COMMENCEMENT The first part of June brought commencement week. The freshmen felt convinced all the girls of the world had drifted into College Station. This, truly, was a sight after nine month’s stay on the Campus. We say many wonderful things during the week, but many of them we could not under¬ stand. We did not know why seniors shed tears at that final Dress Parade. And on the last evening we could not understand why boys hated to tell each other goodbye. How¬ ever, we went home for the Summer determined DURING INSPECTION—1915 Page One hundred sixty to return in September. Thus, ended our first “perfect day.” SOPHOMORE YEAR As Sophomores we came back strong. What a relief to have human beings look up to you—old boys at last and a new “tish” class. Of course some of our classmates did not return, but we still had a goodly number. SOPHOMORE CLASS ELECTION AND STATE UNIVERSITY GAME, 13-0 Again Hugh Brooks was elected as our leader. We were, really, in a wonderful world. The crown of this period of happiness came on November 19th, 1915. On this memorable day we trod Texas University beneath our feet, and Varsity arose with her ears ringing to the tune of 13 to 0. Our class had contributed several athletes to this winning team. LAST TRIP TO DALLAS This Fall the Corps only made one trip and it was to Dallas. This time we went in civilian clothes and left our guns on college soil. ' We all enjoyed the trip, but all said it was not as good as either of the trips we took the previous year. Perhaps it was because C. I. A. was not in Dallas this time. SOPBS FORCE JUNIORS TO POSTPONE BANOOET Take Toastmaster for Joyride to Cal¬ vert. Chain Parade Attracts Circus Crowd. THE JUNIORS WANT A BANQUET Well, with the coming of Spring came the time when the Juniors began to feel their importance. Their thoughts turned, not to love, but to the prep¬ arations for a Junior Banquet. The Sophomores, characteristic of the class of ’IS, were on their job. On the appointed day the Junior toastmaster was captured by the Sophomores, and what was more he was held captive until the class of 1918 gave the signal that allowed the Juniors of the class of ' IT to partake of their carefully prepared feast. Hot was the tight and bloody the battle, but great was the victory. • L.CLASS O I S _j I y 3)uitinr (£la69 A9tm1llur.1l uuA Jft.cljuutiiil Drrtmhrr amind mnrlrru huuhrrd unit jftixtrro OUR LAST HIKE About his time we witnessed our second “hike,” a week of army life. It was our turn to laugh as the poor freshmen, after a day’s walk, came “siddling” in home. After this a few baseball games, and then com¬ mencement week. We saw more things, perhaps, than our lirst com¬ mencement, but this year our ap¬ preciation for things were greater. We had learned to love the old school more, we loved every boy and the uniform he wore. We would Page One hundred sixty-one fight for each other if necessary, and this was tested out on our trip. No one dared to harm the “Cadet Grey.” This time, it was with a tight throat we bid fare¬ well to the seniors. We knew not where or when we would see them again. JUNIOR YEAR In September of 1917, we ar¬ rived at College with a new aspect of College life. We were Juniors —we must leave childish things behind in order to take up the more serious problems that confronted us. Now we looked on freshmen as though we were their protectors, and not as though they were beasts of burden. JUNIOR ELECTION This year our election was a hot one. Every Junior put real “pep” into it. Why, stump speeches were even made. But Fate worked things out right. We had, after the election, a strong capable man as president—Ben Looney. THE JUNIOR BANQUET A SUCCESS In our Junior year the greatest thing we witnessed was the Junior Ban¬ quet, even though we did make two trips and had been victorious in several good football games. But this time it was the class of ’18 making festival preparations. Unlike the Juniors of the year before, we kept our Toastmaster, Dudley Moore, even though we did chain him to a radiator and detail the “huskiest” of the class as guards. We had this human form, this bit of flesh and blood, so well guarded he was not bothered by God or man. The banquet proved to be an occasion that will live long in the memories of the participants. THE EUROPEAN WAR FELT AT A. M. At this time the world seemed to hold only pleasures for the class of ’18. Little we realized the world was getting black before us. But in the Spring of our Junior year we were made to realize a state of war existing be¬ tween the United States and Germany. Our Government was threatened — help was needed. The students of A. M., ever true to their country, heard the call for help; the stu¬ dents saw the Stars and Stripes of Old Glory were threatened. As a result the Senior class turned out en masse, and with them went a num¬ ber of our own classmates. We had lost some of our strongest men. However, Uncle Sam realized the kind of “Stuff” our beloved College turned ont. Consequently, A. M. men, Juniors and Seniors, were given places of rank in all branches of the service. Page One hundred sixty-two SENIORS GONE, RESPONSIBILITY OF JUNIORS At this place we find another change in the Junior class. All responsi¬ bilities were placed on the shoulders of the remain¬ ing. The class then knew it was the chance to make a name for the class of •- 1918. The members of the class lacked the experience of the seniors, but the College work was taken up just where the seniors left off. It was a hard burden to carry, but to lay down meant acknowledge failure, where dogged determination meant strength. The year was finished without a hitch,—the class of ’18 was victorious. LS ' i ' -i ' W Bi ' SStJyaR A YEAR WITHOUT A CLOSE, NO COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Yes, the times were sad, and when commencement came around no one felt like making merry. The only entertainment given was a final hop. The class, as a whole, realized their time to serve their country was not far off, but every Junior was ready for the time when he should be called. We had been prepar¬ ing, muchly, the last weeks under that capable and much admired soldier, Lieutenant Morris. We felt we owed more to our country than the average civilian owed to her. THE BEGINNING OF THE END During the following Summer still more of our classmates went into ser¬ vice. School opened in September with about eighty seniors. A very small class, but every member had made up his mind to help make the class of 1918 the strongest class in the history of the College, even though we had lost many of our best men. Page One hundred sixty-three ABOLITION OF HAZING The first tiling the Senior class did was to break a record of the College. The class of 1918 was the first class in the history of the A. M. College to take an absolute stand against hazing. The seniors resolved, “hazing must go, let our class be the one to accomplish the impossible.” We believe we were right; we think we have gained our end. SENIOR ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The next great thing we did was to unanimously elect Joe Grace president of our class—Joe to lead us on to victory and the end. We were seniors, loyal to the school and the college rules, but still we held the love and respect of every under classman. The class stood undivided with one aim in view: “Each for the other, all for A. M.,” this the motto we selected when we were fresh¬ men. We had caused our class to be recognized. The class knew, whatever task it undertook for the betterment of the College, we were backed by our loved and honored classmate, Prexy. During the following months we worked earnestly for the College, but we always carried a burden for now and then a classmate was being called in to service. At the time of writing, November, 1917, we are living under the strain and misfortune of constantly losing members of the class to the service of the nation. AA r e do not know that we will receive our diplomas. A training camp opens in January and by that time every member of the class of ’18 may be carrying into practice, in the Army of the U. S. the principles drilled into us at the old school. Each of the four years have been more eventful than the one preceding, and this our last year is indeed a climax to them all. As we see our classmates called into service, one by one, we become bound by a bond of love that ages wi 11 never sever. Rtfle f a.i y€ Funston J lr- 1117. Page One hundred sixty-four H « i THE CLASS OF 1919 OFFICERS D. W. Howell J. M. Lawrence Jr. J. R. Hardwicke W. H. Armstrong President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Historian The Class History X ’N the late days of Sep- tember, 1915, a molly throng ' of live hundred Fish gathered together at A. M. to travel the rocky road to higher achievement. Little did these boys know of the trials and tribulations with which they would have to contend. But those were the “good old days of ’-H)’ 1 when these Fish were “brought up’ 7 according to the ideals of the upperclassmen. , The first few months at A. M. were a long and tedious up¬ grade for the Class of 1919. The going was so rough and uncertain that a few of the Freshmen travelers fell by the way-side. The class was first united by the election of its freshmen officers. The Fish were beginning to know each other and to pull together as a class should. As the level of the Christmas Holidays and mid¬ winter examinations was reached, the Class of 1919 realized that it had come into its own. Several freshmen had played prominent parts in the athletics of the fall and winter. The memorable November the 19th found four of the lusty band in action. But on going further, difficulties were to be met and mastered. The storm threatened with all the traditional spring fury. The Fish took to the brush and the tall timber. liflf slits si m Page One hundred sixty-six However, the skies were again clear with the passing of the “banquet. Toward the close of a year of rough going, some of the freshmen found them¬ selves scholastically embarrassed, due to various mental ailments. Hut those who had worked hard and faithfully went home for the summer to prepare for the coming grind of the Sophomore year. September, 191G, found the T9 Class on the road again. But the men were there in smaller numbers. Some did not take the chances of further travel, not that they were afraid, but that they had found other pursuits more in common with their lives. Others, because of the lack of “sticktuity” or an overloaded course in “popular fiction” in the freshman year, were left hopelessly behind and had to join the following class. The Sophomores, who by this time were acquainted with each other, stepped into their places and took hold for the good of old A. M. The class came into prominence by having sturdy repre sentatives on all the athletic teams. After the fall and winter seasons had passed and the way seemed clear to the second June, another “banquet” occured. The T9 Class was distinctly visible in the action which took place just before the banquet. The authorities called it “concerted action.” It was thought, at the time, that there would be no need of having any Commence¬ ment in the spring of 1919. But after having satisfied the authorities as to their earnest intentions, the boys were again allowed to travel on toward the successful ending of the Sophomore year. The number of men who returned for duty in September, 1917, was far below the five hundred who entered in 1915. The condition of National Affairs had so changed from the previous year that Uncle Sam was forced to call men into his service. Many men of the Class of T9 answered the call. The remain¬ ing members of the class, realizing that the responsibilities of the Seniors would soon be their’s, faced forward, determined to become worthy Seniors. During the third lap of the college course, the T9 Class was well represented in all branches of college life. The Juniors were present during the passing of three great years at College. The program of old A. M. was more marked between September, 1914, and June, 1918, than ever before in an equal length of time. Dr. W. B. Bizzell, who was made President in 1914, changed the inter-class relations at A. M. Many changes took place in the military department between 1915 and 191.8. Guion Hall, Bizzell Hall, the Veterinary Science Building, the Hospital, the Stock Judging Pavilion, the Experiment Station, and the Power Plant were all erected during that period. The old buildings and grounds were so greatly improved that visiting alumni boasted of the mire in which they were com¬ pelled to wallow. The man who wears the Junior pin of the Class of 1919 may well consider himself fortunate for having lived during such a period of re construction at old A. M. W. H. Armstrong.

Historian Class History « ' | :] C It ' —W’MONG the hundreds of col- 4--1 lege aspirants seeking ac- I cess to the A. M. College -- in September, 1910, were the members of the 1918 Two-Year Class. They were unknown to one another and each member of the class ay as far removed from his fel- Ioavs. He did not dream of the swift, silent, unseen influences which were soon to remould and refashion him into a lh r e, throbbing, pulsating cadet, a vital essential of the college corps. We Avere first introduced to or¬ ganize college life on the night of the Freshmen reception. Although we had been shown the Avays of old A. : M. by some of the “old boys,” Ave kneAV nothing of real spirit until the night of the big fall rally at the old Chapel. Class spirit Avas an un- knoAvn quantity until Ave Avere banded together by our first election. Under the direction of the kind hearted “old boys,” we elected our first class officers. N. A. Dawson Avas elected President, W. F. Poney aatis Vice- President. Under the direction of these leaders the Class became more as a large body of congenial brothers than the bunch of friends AA r ho entered in September. Our Class Spirit greAV and our attitude tOAvard old A. M. changed mightily as Ave felt the pride of being as one. We claim, as members of our class, two of the greatest military leaders Avho eA r er came to A. M. Capt. Muller and Lieut. Morris are men who Avill not easily be forgotten about College Station. Together with the other Fresh- sil m ' k-i i Page One hundred eighty ii Early in the fall we chose B. L. Smith to be President and W. 0. Sibley to be his assistant. With such a worthy man as Smith at the helm, supported by his assistant, the class is making wonderful progress and its future welfare is assured. The class has contributed more than its quota to every phase of college life. The Two-Bar ' 18 is well represented on the gridiron, among distinguished students, in military life and in all position of initiative and responsibility. And now as we stand together as a class for the last time soon to take our places among men, we face the future with hope and confidence. Judging from our College records, we have no cause for fear. The memories of our deeds and aspirations here will always he with us, inspiring and spurring us on toward the goal........ ' r - irv j men we had the distinction of being the first Freshman ( ' lass to he trained at A. M. under the direction of two Army Officers. That we were trained and trained well was proven by the calesthenic drill in which we took part at Waco. There were no prouder men in college than the Freshmen when Lieut. Morris hestoed upon them the honor of being trained to perform before the Cotton Palace crowd. Real class spirit was being imprinted upon our souls, a feeling even closer than brotherly love was holding us together. When ’is and the two bars appeared on the standpipe, we were proud to give up our “cush” to the upperclassmen who thought they were punishing us. Although as Freshmen, our representatives were not allowed to play “Squad” football, ’18 was well represented on the Freshman eleven. It was with the help of the “Fish” team that the “Squad” was trained into such an efficient fighting machine. Along in the spring when the ones who did not me an business had been dropped from the class, the boys who were left began to think of the summer vacation and the long rest. I am sure that all the members of the class were very sorry to hear that our two militarv men would not be back with us in the fall. When the class was again assembled in September, 1917, we found that a good many of our brothers had joined the several different branches of the Federal Service. Those of us who were left, started in dead earnest to take the places of those Sophs, who had gone before. Some of the men who represented the Two-Bar ’18 on the “Fish football team were back on the job as strong as ever, but this time they were to play real “Squad” ball. All the folks in the grandstand may not have known that they were looking for an ’18 man to make a long end run, but we knew they were and also knew that they would see him go.

Brown Vice-President T. A. ClIEEVES Secretary-Treasurer C. C. Cavinder Historian Class History v — h— N Hie Fall of the year 11)10, there entered into the Sanctuary Halls 1 Old A. M. a group of innocent young hoys who were to he known F as the Freshman Class. The ambitions of these hoys were as far ' reaching as the rainbow in its many lined length. Of college life, the “Fish” knew nothing. Perhaps that was a good thing for it is difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. The education of these nobly innocent hoys, which really started on the night of their arrival, was formally commenced at the Reception to Freshmen in the “Y” building. College Night, which is looked forward to by all Upper-Classmen, was the first real pep-meet¬ ing in which the Class of 1!)2() had ever taken part. It is the night on which all Class and School spirit at A. M. is seeded into the “Fish.” That the good old spirit took root that night was to be proven beyond a doubt later in the year. Following Hie long established custom, the Class of IblO helped the “Fish to elect their first class leaders. Under the leadership of B. J. Garritty, assisted by E. H. Raspberry the ’20 Class grew to be a valuable part of A. M.. The year IfilO was Ihe first and may possibly be the last year that the freshmen could not play “Stpiad” ball. Hid that dishearten the “Fish” Ath¬ letes? No; as could clearly be seen from the football team which was turned out. The Freshmen were justly proud when the “squad” defeated the Bears. l think that their team had helped to put that bunch of iron men in shape. The basketball season was a repetition of the football season. The Freshmen team was a great success as a sparring partner for the “Squad” as well as in its own realm. On the track, members of the Band of ' 20 were seen as future stars. In the spring of ' ll, under poor conditions. Freshman Jack McClintock tied the world ' s record in the 120-yard hurdles. Just as ’20 began to look like the most important numeral in the College, there came a fall. Page One hundred ninety As history is bound to repeat itself, the Junior Class held a bi - feed. Al¬ though the date was unsettled, the “Fish” managed to get some dope on it. Things in general came suddenly to a head. There were untold records broken that night as the “Fish” scattered into the timbered draws and the safety of the corn fields. Before school closed, America entered the great world war. Although many people would not think such a change in National affairs would affect a Freshman Class, it did. In September, 1917, when the Band of ’20 again assembled to the call of the bugle, the roolls were not full. Many of the Class had answered the call of our Nation. Those who did return started with a will to prepare them¬ selves to take the places of the older men who had gone. These men knew that although there was no desperate hurry, that there would he places found for them to fill in the ranks of Uncle Sam’s Service. At the first class meeting, Jack Mahan was chosen as President and J. C. Brown was elected to the Vice-Presidency. Under the guiding hand of these officers the Class of ’20 started after all laurels in the Southwest. Did they get them? Well, not all. You could hardly expect less than eight men to more than help get the Southwestern Championship in football. The Freshman team of 1916 was well represented on the “Squad” of 1917. Jack McClintock, Mahan, and Gilmore were prominent in all the games of the season. If Jack McClintock hadn’t tried to show up those L. S. U. men so badly there is no telling what Tulane, Bice and Texas might have seen. What these big teams saw was only dust, but the cloud certainly would have been larger if Jack could have played in all of the games. Three “T” men in foot¬ ball alone is not a bad showing for a depleated class. The Class of ' 20 is very proud of its football players and are betting on just as successful men in base¬ ball and in basketball. There are a few men left of the Freshman basketball team who are going to make the “squad.” We know they will, for they are men who have shown their worth. Towards the end of the Fall term the Band of ’20 was again shaken up. The chief Sophomore of them all answered the call. Coach I). X. Bible, who did such great work tvith the football “Squad” and won a place in the heart on every man in College, joined the Aviation Corps. Coach, here ' s all the luck in the world from the Class of 1920. You are one of us, stay in there, we are backing you just as we are backing the rest of the ' 20 boys who are with Uncle Sam.

R., S. C. Commanding Officer Depot Company “K,” College Station, Texas Depot Company “K” was dealt a royal flush when the War Department assigned Lieut. M. C. Funston to its command at College Station. His broad military training and experience, combined with an innate tact and ability to handle men won first, the respect of his men, then their loyalty and appre¬ ciation. It is unusual to find an army organization in which there is not a single man who gripes at the K. O., in Co. “K,” every man is solidly “for” the lieutenant and would rather obey his command than accede to the request of a four starred general. Lieutenant Funston did well in the Philippines, he won recognition in the Canal Zone, and his name is well known in Alaska, but nowhere will he be remembered with the degree of warm admiration and fervent regard that his company at A. « M. holds for him, and their most often expressed desire to “go across with the “Lieut.,” infallibly indicates their opinion. Page Two hundred Page Two hundred thirty-eight PREXY” IN A “BULL PEN” DURING RICE-A. M. GAME THE ENGINEERING SUMMER CAMP v — h— less than one hour after the minute decided upon by the faculty as the end of the regular ’16-’17 session at Texas A M. College, some- M thing over 1,100 boys were speeding in the various directions toward ' their respective homes. At V2 noon there were eleven hundred cadets on the campus; at 1 p. m. there were less than twenty. This folorn few, who wandered about the campus and through the de¬ serted dormitories trying to understand the silence which everywhere pre¬ vailed and the loud echoes which followed their footsteps in the vacant hall¬ ways, were those of the seventeen members of the ' IS C. E. Class. These lacked either the money, or the experience in riding blind baggage, to make a living trip home during the interval between Saturday noon and Monday morning. The misery of these unfortunates was somewhat appeased, however, by the Page Two hundred thirty-nine 1 blissful experience of passing through Saturday night with no tattoo or taps, and through Sunday with no reveille, S. M. I. or Chapel, and the wonder¬ ful opportunity of delving into the intricate game of soltaire. By Monday morning the class was recruited to railroading strength. Sixteen of the seventeen hands were present. Only Coxey Evans, due to an unpre¬ cedented irregularity in the actions of a cattle train crew, was absent. Bone, though on hand, was suf¬ fering intensely from a near fatal case of love sick¬ ness, and details of which he eagerly explained to all who would listen. Tom Kelly was present only by the heroic action of George Anderson in un¬ selfishly sacrificing an entire dollar to rescue him from the hands of the constable of the little city of Mart, located on the I G. N. General Love illustrated his first lesson on punctuality by forcing half of the section to run one mile, in order to catch the wagons which carried the assembly to and from the job. Clarence, alias “Profanity” Braden, celebrated the opening day by getting lost in the woods just at dinner time, necessitating a rescue party and a delayed meal. At this first meal General showed the value of experience by pocketing two of the three jars of jam and getting away with it. On the return to College that afternoon, Coxey was found waiting, and the society of “Hard Hustlers” was at last assembled and the roll, Anderson, Becker, Bone, Braden, Browder, etc., was complete. With its expected efficiency and directness of “General” Love, Leader of Forces, as an Axe-man purpose, the order of “H. H.” detailed “Kike” Lev¬ in gton, better known as Levy to the distinctive po¬ sition of Reveille Ringer, and henceforth each morn¬ ing promptly at G A. M. Levy vigorously and harmoniously rang the notes of reveille on a con¬ fiscated cow bell. As a further evidence of their prowess, the “Hard Page Tiio hundred forty i! ' S-Cii •i Hf Hustlers” placed a penalty of two licks per on llie crime of calling General other than by his true cog¬ nomen. They forthwith pro¬ ceeded, with great alacrity, to inflict this penalty on all violators. As the week drew to a close, in order to show the other species which in¬ fested the campus “who was who,” a C. E. Flag was designed, executed and hoisted. Saturday evening Joe Grace purloined a victrola and three cracked records from the stores of some absent company, George and Tom made their semi-weekly trips to Bryan, and the C. E. S. P. was on in full sway. With the second week came those who usurped the campus during the ab¬ sence of its legal occupants; the cotton classers and the “pedoggies.” Staerker immediately developed unexpected social proclivities. These developments, however, came shortly to a jarring termination when the lights were unex¬ pectedly turned on one night at Prexy ' s open-air theatre. During this second quarter, Tom Kelly was called upon to assuage the wounded feelings of an aged member of the school masters when one was aroused by the actions of the Browder, an expert adjuster for hand levels Who pulled the “Bone,” or otherwise, “Nobody Home” mm ii jS-l ' A visitor for Dinner, but nothing stops Tom. Not even time out for a picture. JtZSiSJXi - Page Two hundred forty-one And after every meal, all the jokes and tales of woe, are given forth artistic element of the “H.

E. flag was stolen from its lofty position by unknown miscreants. The society sign painter, immediately, under the supervision of Charles Browder, created another from a bed sheet and a bucket of black point.

Saturday afternoon, “Reveille” Snow got a box from home, and had sixteen visitors as long as any part of its contents remained. Saturday night Staerker showed his loyalty to the cause by 1 brow¬ ing a trash can down three flights of stairs, shortly after a heated interview with the night sergeant. The opening of the second half was featured by Kenan’s assault on Knickerbocker, using a Hat rock as a weapon. Much bloodshed, but no fatalities re¬ sulted. However, Dr. Francis found it necessary to sew his nose together, after crossing a bridge in §mm M 111 pil pir ■ f •£ || rm iSi General s ambulance. Dur¬ ing this period General learned something about foraging for cigarettes when he unwittingly attempted to smoke a cigarette containing gun powder rather than to¬ bacco. The week ended by a near victory for the C. E. baseball club over the “Cam¬ pus Pies.” General, in his capacity as umpire, played the most eflecthe game for J ust taking t h e kinks out of the I. G.

On Thursday evening the Hag was removed from the pole and tenderly laid away. Saturday noon at (5 A. M., Levy for the last time rang reveille and brought it to a grand final by throwing his cowbell down the hall¬ way. At 1:20 P.

This honor is not one that can be attained in one year’s work, but requires three and one-half 3 ears of intensive study in live stock judging. That the men who make the International Live Stock Judging Team begin their preparation for it in their freshman or first year in college, and that they continue working for the team during the other years in college, is evident from the records of this year’s International Team work. The members of the 1917 International Live Stock Judging are: Myers, H. S., Phillips, J. M., Ray, W. J., Regenbrecht, E. M., Smith, A. L., and Warren, G. R. Mr. Regenbrecht was in the 1914 Freshman contest. Messrs. Myers, Phillips, Ray and Smith were in the 1915 contest, and Mr. Warren was in the 191G contest. Thus all men getting their initial workout as stock judges during their first year in college. As there is very little done during the sopho¬ more year in judging, nothing of note can be mentioned. In the junior year these men again exert their utmost to make the spring teams that represent the college at the Oklahoma City and the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Shows. Four men, Myers, Ra} ' , Phillips and Regenbrecht, were on both these teams. Smith was on the Ft. Worth Team, but not on the Oklahoma Team (sickness pre¬ vented him from entering). These teams won first place at Oklahoma City and second place at Ft. Worth. Sixty dollars in prizes was offered at Okla¬ homa City and the team from this college won thirty dollars. At. Ft. Worth one hundred dollars was offered and, although our team won second in team standing, it won fifty-seven dollars in prizes. This shows that as individual judges our team stood up well. With the spring contests over there remained only one objective for these men, the making of the International Team. These same men with a will to win, set out for the goal, and on December 16, these men were rewarded for their efforts by being designated members of the one important stock judging team, the International. That this team will be a credit to this college remains to be seen. From their past records, success seems assured. They have worked, they will work, and it is hoped that for the efforts of the team, the Agricultural and Me¬ chanical College of Texas may once more gaze upon the large bronze trophy which once graced the impressive rotunda of the main building.

Their only grouch at Chapel was It made them lose a morning sleep. ‘“Any kink to beat the Bull” they’d laugh Hiding in the shadows with much whispered chaff. Slipping out the windows or some unguarded door, Failing to escape, through service oft would snore. Nor could the austere Dean dismay them, Nor all the Bull’s mandates gainsay them. They didn’t like Chapel and the white vested choir, Made them grin a little or aroused their ire. In times agone in boyish way They used to sleep well into the sabbath day. And if perhaps a “ram” should follow, Their comments were quite a lot to swallow. All that is ended now and but a few, Of the Chapel cutting crowd is here to rue. And wonder at the boys at A. M. today, Who are cutting Sabbath Chapel in the same old way. Most of them are “over there” where the battle rages hot, And every man of them gives the “boches” all he’s got. Still they’re the boys who cut chapel when they could; Yet all are in the trenches and all are making good. Many have gone, others yet are going, And death, full toll from their ranks is mowing. But there is never a sigh, nor a backward look For the brighter page in Life’s great book. Perhaps they oft may yearn for the homeland’s grace, Or the tender smile of a much loved face. But there’s never a tear nor a faltering voice, For each man has made a true man’s choice. For the sake of us all and the “Red, White, and Blue,” To make our homes safe for me and for you. They give their lives, these boys from dear old A. M. And much of our freedom we shall soon owe to them. Irreverent boys they may have been, no worse, no better, Breaking not the spirit of the law, only the letter. And this we know, “our there” in Death’s stern grapple, Not one of them is cutting Chapel. Note: —The above poem was written by Katherine Montgomery and dedicated to those A. men “Over there.” M.

V. Graves and I). X. Bible. These men are exponents of the new coaching methods that make teams win games with fight, and there is not a pair of men living that can get more fight ont of a team than this pair can. Lovers of clean sportsmanship themselves, they have instilled into their pupils football and baseball tactics that have made the Aggies known as a team that is as clean as teams are made. This quality has been recognized by the cadet corps, and it has gained the coaches, the students’ respect. Off the field “Tubby” Graves is as popular a man as there is on the cam¬ pus. His wit and his good humor have made him a favorite with everybody. Everyone once thought that A. M. would never have another coach as well loved as Charley Moran, but they were mistaken, for along came “Tubby.” Mr. Bible was only with us two years, or rather, through two football seasons, but when he left there was not a man or boy on the campus who did not admire and respect him both for his quiet, gentlemanly qualities, and for his ability. With the assistance of Coach Graves, he had turned out the team that established the most wonderful record ever made in the Southwest. He had done it in the face of apparently insurmountably difficulties. And then he had won a place in all our hearts by his pleasant smile and friendly word of greeting, and everyone deeply regretted his leaving in January to enter the Aviation. Xo college in the land can have such an all-round likeable and admirable pair of coaches. They have won places in our hearts that cannot be filled by any others. Wherever they go we wish them luck and happiness in the fullest, and our hearts will always warm when a thought of either ever comes to us. Page Three hundred forty THE 1917 FOOTBALL REVUE ■ M ‘‘Champions of the Southwest” was the title with which the Aggie eleven emerged from the final game of the 11)17 season. It had made the most remark¬ able record any team had ever made in the South¬ west. It had gone through the season all-victorious, had not even been scored on, and had won the un¬ disputed championship of the Southwest, with only Georgia Tech to share Southern honors. After starting with prospects quite gloomy with all the old stars except four, gone, the team steadily had improved till at the end of the season it was rated as fourth best in the world. No other had been able to go through without its goal line being crossed, but the Aggies turned back team after team with a coat of whitewash, and at the end of the season if had ever experienced lining up on its goal line. Only four “T” men re¬ sponded to the first call of the coaches for football prac¬ tice in September. Three of these were guards, the other “OX” FORD, Tackle Captain a halfback. Coach Graves faced the prob¬ lem of making almost an entire line. Coach Bible had to find a new backfield. But both knew what they were about. They found good material, material that had the natural talent and the will to be football players. The coaches began at the bottom, and they made a team that outclassed anything that the state has seen in many years. A. M......... Austin College. . ( C The first game of the season , was with Austin College. At this time the team had been at work a little over two weeks. Nobody expected the Aggies to make thirty points, but there was a surprise in store. The team started with a rush, and before the final whistle blew they had run up Gb points on the Kangaroos. HIGGINBOTHAM Halfback mm Page Three hundred forty-one A. M...............08 Dallas U............. Then came Dallas Univer¬ sity. This was the team i on which Cecil Griggs had i £ played the year before, Ni and that had thrown a scare into Aggie fans by scoring in the first five minutes. But nothing like that was due to hap- ])en this time. The team that had found itself to he possessed of an offense in the Austin game put it to the best of use here, and rolled up the huge total of 08 points on the Catholics. Only one first down did the Catholics make and that on a for¬ ward pass for 15 yards. At the time nothing was thought of the excellent defense the Aggies were putting up, and the coming of the Southwestern eleven to try the Aggies along this line was looked forward to with anxiety. It appeared that they had the offense, and if their defense was to prove equally good, they were likely to cut up. McKNIGHT, Guard WILSON, Guard A. M...............20 Southwestern found the team on its worst off Southwestern......... 0 day of the season. When a score was in sight something would almost invariably go wrong, and the plucky Pirates would fight back out of their danger zone. But the Aggies did score three touchdowns and won, 20 to 0. But the mere fact ot winning was not enough for Aggie- land. The corps was disappointed by the team’s showing, and the team was disgusted with itself. It had showed that even the best of teams can have such utterly bad days that they look good only for the junk pile. And that was what many Farmer supporters thought was to be the fate of the Farmer eleven. But it was not made of the stuff that quits. It settled down to hard work, and got results right off. Page Three hundred forty-two A. M.. .27 Louisiana State L. S. U.. . 0 was the next to try the Aggie metal. And Aggie metal rang true. The game was played in San Antonio, but A. M. had sent her band to the Alamo city to help the team along , and there were several hundred former stu¬ dents in the stands to cheer the team in its fight for revenge for the defeat suffered at the Tigers’ hands in Galveston, the year be¬ fore . Collins was right in this game. His wonderful punts a- gainst the wind in the first quar¬ ter drove the Tigers back time after time when the hay kicked almost to our goal line. All through the game his long spirals went high and far into Louisi¬ ana’s territory, enough to dis- Not only with his punting was he right that day, for he de¬ livered two field goals, one of them a 42-yard kick, one of the longest ever seen on a Texas gridion. GRIESENBECK Guard hearten any foe. WIER, Quarterback But not only was it Collins who played football that day. The whole Aggie team played an unbeatable game. In its first real test of the season the line came up to as high a standard as the most enthusiastic of the team’s supporters had hoped for. It held the Tigers; it opened up great holes for the backs to go through; it made tackles and formed interference that was wonderful. And in the backfield the men who were on the Aggie eleven the first year began making names for themselves. Mahan playing safety re¬ turned punts anywhere up to forty yards. McClintock tore off yard after yard around the Tiger flanks. Elam was shifted to half¬ back from quarters, and showed up here to an excellent ad- • vantage. Higginbotham got his first chance in this game when McClintock was hurt, and won a regular place on the eleven by his brilliant work. It was in the final quarter that the big guns got to work. For three periods Louisiana held the Texas team to one touchdown, but in the fourth quarter their defense broke down. In this last wild session an Aggie run of Jess than ten yards was considered a fa ilure, and sprints for fifty were common. Before the referee had ended the matinee the Texans had scored three touchdowns and two field goals and Collins had kicked goal after each touchdown, making the final count 27 to 0. The corps at College Station got the returns from this game play by play. Page Three hundred jorty-three ill iii m ll ' fi 0 . rLtX Iii and the old chapel shook with cheering when Mc- Murray would dive over for another touchdown. After this game there were still Tulane, Baylor, Texas University, and Bice Institute to face, in that order. The team had been able to keep its de¬ fensive record perfect through the first half of the season, but with the formidable array of oppo¬ sition that was still faced there were few Farmer supporters so radically enthusiastic as to hope that the last half would be so successful. Of course everyone was jubilant and wishing for such luck, but it was a wild wish. It was as yet even a wild wish to wish that the four com¬ ing games would all be victories. MAHAN, Fullback ■ GOUGER, End A. M...............35 Tulane............... Of the final four, Tulane was the first. Tulane was coached by an old rival of Coach Bible’s, Shaughnessy, and the two of them had studied the noted Minnesota shift together. Shaughnessy had developed a powerful ofiense with this st yle of formation. As the quarterback was calling the play the only man on the line of scrimmage was the center. When the play was called the whole line shifted with a jump and as they hit their places the center would snap the ball, thus giving the line a running start, so to speak, besides making the play hard to see into. But Bible had thought out a defence that he thought would work, and he too pulled his line back about a yard, and had them shift with the Tulane line, jumping up into place and meeting the Tulane line with a counter run. And this de¬ fense worked. Occasionally a Greenback would get through the line, and when they did they were dangerous, for they were fast, but their breaks were few and far be¬ tween. The Aggies had their ofiense working that day as usual, and before the first quarter was over they had crossed the Tulane 11 sH in fcj.v -SISIISF Page Three hundred forty-four goal line three times. After that the Louisianans braced, and in the remainder of the game held the Aggies to two more touchdowns. In the third quarter they made a very serious threat at scor¬ ing, and came nearer to the A. M. goal line than any other team did all season, going to the two-yard line with four downs in which to make the distance. But the Aggies held. The final score was 35 for A. M. to the usual for the unlucky opponents. A. M..................7 Baylor ..................0 ALEXANDER, End McMURRAY, Tackle A ' ext we invaded Waco, and captured the Baylor Bear. As a thriller, the game was a dismal failure, but from the viewpoint of the Baylor students it was worse than that. To the Farmers themselves about the only consoling feature was the 35-yard run Collins made early in Ihe first quarter after he had intercepted a forward pass—the run that gave them a touchdown and the game. Baylor had nothing that day in midfield, either on the offense or on the defense. Once in a while they would get by with a for¬ ward pass, and once one of their men after taking a forward pass got by every farmer except Elam, playing quarter. Right then 1,000 A. M. cadets saw their scoreless run going to smash, but Elam got to his man, and he got him. The Aggies could advance almost at will until they got within scoring dis¬ tance, but then Baylor would tighten up and present an impregnable defense. Four times were the Aggies within twenty yards of the goal and three times were they within five yards of the Bears’ line. But always Baylor held. After that run in the first quarter no Aggie scored, nor did a Bear, so the game was the cadets, 7 to 0, and Baylor hopes for a championship were again sent glim¬ mering by an Aggie Eleven. It had happened the year before that the only thing that kept the Baylor team from a clear championship was the game which the Aggie team took. The cadets were jubilant that night. Six games had the Aggies won, and they had not yet been scored upon. The corps was beginning lo ______ have high hopes that the team would go on Page Three hundred forty-fi McCLINTOCK, Halfback ELAM, Quarterback through undefeated. But when they had time to think the matter over they were not so elated over the pros¬ pects. Four times had the team got within striking dis¬ tance, but it had lacked the punch that had been so much in evidence in the former games, especially the ones with L. S. U. and Tu- lane. The line had not opened up the holes and the backfield had been slow. But the defense was still in working order, and we could not lose if we were not to be scored upon. The team worked hard get- ing ready for Texas. Texas had found out that it could play football by holding Baylor to a field goal and beating Oklahoma A. M. and the Long Horns were coming to College in that do-or-die spirit that seldom loses football games. And a fight they did put up. Texas’ A. M...............7 annual football classic has always been the Texas U...............0 meeting between the Aggies and the Long Horns, and since A. M. had won four out of the last six games, Texas was out to win. Anyway, Texas had always rather beat A. M. than any other three teams they play. But the Aggies had the fighting habit. They had for a motto that no team could put up a harder fight than they. There was a battle royal. For three quarters neither team could score. Several times each team came within scoring distance, but the ball would go over and would seesaw back and forth. In the final quarter the same young Higginbotham that had won for himself a regular place on the team with one chance, got loose around the Texas right end in midfield. Ten yards he went; twenty; several tacklers he evaded or shook off. Thirty yards he made it before Trabue got him, and at that lie carried the Texas cap¬ tain several yards before he was downed. This brilliant run put the ball on the Long Horn’s twelve yard line. In the next three the Aggies gained about five yards, and Collins dropped back for a drop kick. The kick went to the side, but an over anxious Texas lineman who could not stand the strain was offside, and Texas Page Three hundred forty-six ANDERSON, Center drew a penalty which put the ball on her five yard line, with four downs for the Aggies to make the distance. McMurray was called back. Three times he lunged into the Texas, but still a foot remained over which the ball must be car¬ ried. Once more the teams lined up, McMurray took the ball and this time that one more precious foot was safely made, the Aggie land went into the extremes of ecstaey. Only a few minutes remained and then another Texas team had gone down before the Aggies, this time 7 to 0, and seven scoreless victor¬ ies had the Aggies won. But Bice remained. Bice was not due to spoil the Aggies’ perfect season, though. They were due to be the unlucky instrument to furnish a perfect climax for that season. Bice had COLLINS, Halfback taken two straight games from Aggie elevens, both upsets, and A. M. said that it must not happen again. A. M. went to Houston to take that game, just as if that were the only game of the year, A. M..............10 and their hopes of a long life depended on their Bice ..................0 winning it. There could have been no harder fight than the Texas game had been, but this one was equally as hard. Bice fought, and Bice had a good team. They were playing on the field that had seen them go to victory after victory. But the Aggies were out to even up old scores, and the Aggies had a perfect record to complete that day. They could not lose, and they did not. They started the game with a rush, and almost before the Owls could get their bearings the Aggies had pushed over for a touchdown. It was the su¬ periority of the line that had done it. From tackle to tackle the Aggies outclassed the Owls badly, and it was right thr ough here that the plunging backs advanced the ball. When on the one yard line McMurrey was given the ball for the only time in the game, but that one time he carried it over the last white line for the six points that were necessary to van- Page Three hundred forty-seven o •i MgSm £■ m It V r.-C -.

COMPLETING A PASS quish the Owls. After that each team came nearer to scoring several times, but neither could again go the full distance. Once after a free fumble, Rice recovered the ball on fourth down up against the Farmer goal, giving them eight downs with which to make the distance, but they did not have the punch, and could not go over. In the final quarter, Weir succeeded in a 35- yard attempt at place kick, and with it the Aggies were revenged for the former defeats at Rice ' s hands. They had played the game without Collins, pronounced by many the best kicker alive, and the man whom the state had thought to be the backbone of the team. When it was known that Collins was not to play, odds went decidedly to the Owls. But the Aggies were not a one man team, and they showed it. Higginbotham’s punting was I he fea¬ ture of the game, his long punts against the wind averaging over fifty yards. GETTING AWAY FOR A 40-YARD RUN WITH THAT PASS Page Three hundred forty-nine Louis iana State Game at San Antonio McMURRAY BLOCKING A KICK The Texas Aggies were the unscored on, all-victorious, undisputed cham¬ pions of the Southwest. After starting with a third place rating, the team had downed all its opponents and had run up the hitherto unheard of record of blanking them in every game. While doing this it had scored the huge total of 38 touchdowns, had kicked 30 of the goals, and had scored four field goals, for a grand total of 270 points. It will be many moons before another eleven can boast of such a record as can the Texas Aggies of 1017, Unscored on Champions of the Southwest.

There was only one let¬ ter man in school, Price, and what was more, there seemed to be no material from which to build a team. Memories of Gilflllan, and of Newt Settegast of last year’s team, when the Farmers gave all comers their money’s worth and more, came back vividly to the cadets, only to make the future seem more discouraging. But Coach Bible would not let the lack of veterans worry him. He started in on last year’s Freshmen, and he soon began to show results. Even after Price left school he kept hitting the ball, and after the Aviation called Coach Bible away, Coach Driver stepped into his shoes and kept putting fight and basket¬ ball into the team. The season opened with the five from Camp MacArthur, Waco, playing the Aggies at College Station, January 15. The soldiers were a fast, husky bunch, that showed that they had profited by living where basketball is played right. The soldiers were in good trim, too, and few Aggie supporters hoped that their team would successfully cope with the soldiers. But Aggie fight had to be considered, and it proved the deciding factor. When the game was over the scoreboard showed the cadet five winner by the close score of 1!) to IT. The first college game came two days later, when the Southwestern quint visited College Station. The home five seemed to be off color that night, and the game was listless, with the Methodist team threatening all through Ihe first half, which ended with the Farmers only two points in the lead. But the intermission helped the team to get together, and it piled up a total of 20 points to half that many for the Georgetown boys. ill lli Hi The veteran Owls from Rice came next. Rice had three old men on the team, men who had seen hard service in college basketball, and they had taken Southwestern’s measure much more easily than had A. M. Rice naturally looked for a clean sweep in the series, but they were doomed lo disappoint¬ ment. The first game was a furious battle. Throughout the first hall the lead •„y£t g: Page Three hundred fifty-seven would change from one side to the other, and ended with eaeli team having nine points to its credit. But the Owls got together after the intermission, changed their stA’le of play to almost a pure de¬ fensive, and held the Aggie score down, while they themselves man¬ aged to garner a few baskets. The final score was I s ! to 14 with rhe Owls, the visitors. The next night things changed around a bit, though, and the Aggie five went out knowing in their hearts that they could beat the team from Houston. The game was even faster than that of the night before, with A. M. determined to even the series, and Rice determined to make it two straight. But Aggie speed told this time. In the first half the home team got two more points than did the visitors, and they repeated in the last half, the game ending 25 to 21 for the Aggies. This left the series an even break, with 39 points to each team ' s credit. The Aggies went to Abilene next, and played the Simmons team a so- called game which was lost, 19-17. The coach and players were disappointed in the treatment accorded them at Abilene, and left for Fort Worth that night, to rest up a day before playing the Baylor Bears. The Baylor series re¬ sulted in another spil, the home team winning the first game 23 to 15, and the Aggies taking the second by the decisive score of 19 to 9. The series was another hard fought one. At this juncture the Long Horn went to press. The out¬ come of the race in Texas seems to he about as hard to tell any¬ thing about as the inhabitants of Mais. Texas split with Bay¬ lor and Rice, Rice split with the Aggies, as also did the Bears, All Ihe teams are short on veteran material, but are making up for it with the fight¬ ing spirit of the recruits.

But as a result of the Declaration of War with Germany, the schedules were can¬ celled until a small percentage of the State Intercollegiate games were played. This fact caused the race for championship to be one of custom rather than one of fight and keen competition that is always present in college baseball. Page Three hundred sixty-two Southwestern Industrial Institute Game A. M......15 The season opened with S. I. 1....... 3 the nine from South¬ western Industrial In¬ stitute of Layfette, Louisiana. A lot of new material was tried out and some of the new men showed up well. The first game was a walkover for our fast nine, as Munch was pitching in mid-season form. The next day the team from the swamps put up a better exhibition of baseball, A. M.......7 and as a result this S. I. 1........3 game was not a one sided alfair. Joe Ellis showed us in these two games that he could command the back stop position that had been vacated by Captain Russel of the 1010 season. The Rice Game A. M.......7 After two weeks of hard work, the team succeeded in Rice .........8 correcting bad faults found in the preceeding games. Then we were off for a week’s trip. The first encounter was on the Rice diamond. Our team showed them, that they were outclassed in the first few innings of play, but again the ever ready “Rice Jinx” was on hand. With a final spurt in the ninth, the Owls gained a one run lead. Munch pitched a good game, but was a bit weak in pinches. The next game was a A. M.......7 duplicate of the one pre- Rice .........7 ceeding it, — only this game went for fourteen innings and ended in a tie. Smith pitched a good game until the seventh, and had to be relieved by Thornton, who was a bit unstead at times, but held the Owls scoreless for the remainder of the game. The Louisiana State University Game L. S. U.......3 Following this we went A. M.......3 into foreign soil for a two game series with L. S. U.

They came back in the second game and showed L. S. U. some A. M.......(i real baseball. Things rocked along for seven innings, L. S. U.......3 neither team having the advantage. In the eighth, with one man on base, Lonny Davis clouted one over the left ‘ield fence for the circuit. In the next inning the Aggies sewed things up by scoring twice as a result of poor playing. Brailsford and Rigney lead the at¬ tack on the Tiger moundsmen with three hits apiece, two of Rig ' s being two base hits. “LEFTY” SPRAGUE Our South-Paw Wonder Southwestern Industrial Institute Game A.

Thorn¬ ton and Smith did the mound work for our team, and at no time during the stage of the game were they in real danger. Rigney’s hitting and fielding were the features of the game. “Trim” handled about a dozen chances with¬ out a bobble, and got two-base swats. On the next day the team ended up the trip with i “COACH” GRAVES Looking Them Over from the Side Lines Page Three hundred sixty-six IN ONE OF THE EXCITING MOMENTS OF THE STATE GAME A.

The game was called at the end of the seventh in order for our team to catch a train hack home. The Daniel Baker Game A. M........10 After an absence from home for over a week, the Aggies Daniel Baker.. . 7 met the “Hill Hillies” from Brown wood. The tirst game was a one-sided affair. The Aggies started off in the first inning, when Joe Ellis hit for the circuit after Weir had been walked. Every man got a hit; Ellis, Powers and Priester each getting two apiece. On the second day Daniel Baker got revenge for the terrible beating of the day before. The Aggie team was outplayed in every stage. A. M.........1 of the game.

Next day Daniel sent his southpaw star, Harry Lee. to the mound. The much touted star only lasted three innings, for they touched him for eight hits. Tommp Davis was the hitting sensation, find¬ ing the opposing pitcher for four hits out of five trips. The Texas University Game A. M.......5 Texas........9 CAPTAIN POWERS Hitting in Mid-Season Form Hits alone cannot win a ball game, which fact was shown in the first game with Texas. The Aggies got twelve hits while Texas got five. The dis¬ astrous eighth inning ended up with seven runs crossing the plate, due to their three hits and four errors made by our home boys. Rigney, Ellis, Davis and Griesenbeck led the hitting with two each. Smith surprised all by getting two hits out of four trips. The second victory was the result of good pitch¬ ing by Munch and the hit¬ ting by Rigney. Rigney and Weir each got three safeties. “Lefty” Thomas was relieved by S.

Weir lived on an error, then Ellis hit forcing Weir at second, Rigney singled, and then Powers came to bat in true leader-like spirit, and drove the ball over left center field fence, scoring three runs. Our team kept this lead for only a short time as Texas came back strong in the third and scored five runs. The game rocked along for six more innings, but the Aggies were never able to over¬ take them. “Lefty” Thomas was again relieved,—this time by Henderson. In the second game the Aggies started off with a two run lead in the first, on account of an error, Power’s sacrifice and hits by Rigney and Griesen¬ beck. Texas made a run in the 1 third without a hit, then scored fourth and fifth by taking ad¬ vantage of Munch ' s unsteady work and hitting at the opportune time.

Munch and “Lefty’’ Duncan did the mound work for the team. Munch pitched a good game with the exception of the sixth inning and in this inning the Bears made three runs by bunching hits. Our team scored in the seventh, tieing the score. With the score tied in the ninth, with two down and Munch on second, Weir hit to left, but Wilson made a perfect peg, and caught Munch at the plate with what would have been the winning run. The next day the Aggies finished the season by defeating Baylor in one of the prettiest games of the A. M.......3 season. With the honor even in the eighth with two out Baylor....... 2 and Ellis on first, Rigney hit a three bagger to right, scor¬ ing Joe with the winning run. Besides getting the hit that won the game, Rigney fielded a beautiful game at short, handling eleven chances without a bobble. The game was a pitcher’s battle between Smith and Farrington, but old “Parson” had the edge over his opponent. USUAL KEEN COMPETITION DURING THE UNIVERSITY-A. M.

M. GAME Well, our baseball season is over, but the boys were only too i bul, as they were tired of drilling two hours a day and then having a stiff work out in the evening. When the season started, every school in the circuit had a strong team, but some of these teams never did meet on the diamond, and as a result, it will be hard to decide who had a clear title to the championship. A. M. made a hard light for the race,—only to forfeit their chance, when State took two from the Aggies in Austin. Of course we don ' t like to offer “alibis,” but things might have been different, if our team could have received the proper work outs for the last deciding games. This was due, as all of us know, to too much “extended order,” when workouts and practice games would have been more beneficial for our team. ‘GRAND-PA” BURNS One of Our Star Out-Fielders AS OUR BOYS LOOK WHEN THEY DON THEIR “CITS” Page Three hundred seventy one All Company Champions C-D Champions Page Three hundred seventy-two Page Three hundred seventy-three HUGH BROOKS This is Our Holder of the State Record in Pole Vaulting.

In fact, after analysing this word “Feature and “Section, we may still be no nearer our solution. Anyway, our attempt to clean up this mystery should be appreciated. By “Feature we could mean anything that has an outstanding quality to it. For instance, “Pud Gordon will always be a feature of the Chem. Dept. Kellogg ' s Toasted Corn Flakes was a decided feature for a while and some say “Squirrel Hanson was. Now that we know what “Feature is, we will pass lightly on to the word “Section. “Section can mean anything that is almost all, but not quite all, for instance our friend Abe Hensarling is almost a senior private, but not quite all. At heart, Abe is a senior private, but ostentatiously he is not. Thus we see just exactly what is meant by “section. Now by combining the two we may readily see that we have an incompatible combination, one that “can¬ not was, and if we can conjure this picture up in our minds we will have a clear cut picture of what is meant by “Feature Section. Now Gentle Reader, if you fall among the “nutty ones herein included, feel not at all sick at heart, but remember we just love you most.

Some have also confused the idea of manners with morals, therefore I will be compelled to speak of manners in my discussion of Morals. Listen old boy—haven’t 3 r ou read those stories where the hero stood for nothing but morals, and yet he could whip any man in the whole country, he could drink stronger whiskey than any other man, he could cuss louder than an ordinary jack ass can bray. In fact he was the Devil himself. Now it wasn ' t his morals that were at fault, not at all. What was it then? It was his manner old hoy, nothing but his manners. He wasn’t much on looks and table manners, but there was a hell of a lot of class to him. For he always saved the pretty wo¬ men from a horrible death, and he would stop the meanest man behind the biggest gun. Now it isn ' t morals that are lacking at A. M. and to be perfectly frank it isn ' t manners, it is simply our manner that is at fault. If you will remem¬ ber some great man once said that in brevity there lies strength. Well, reason¬ ing from that standpoint, any man can see that we only want to be strong when we say “shoot the sand ' ’ instead of “won ' t you please pass the salt. Now let’s see where we are. So far we have talked of morals manners, and the manner of getting our manners before the public. We are moral, we admit it, we don’t try to prove it. Because we try to be strong, brief and con¬ cise, we are classed as a bunch without morals. Now after reading the above passages, don’t you think that it is unjust to call us moral-less? Now we are in a position to let you have a bit of inside information. The student body as a whole at A. M. are heavy drinkers (when they can get the drinking) ; hearty eaters (when they get a box from home) ; procrastinators (when they can’t find anywhere to loaf) ; the best sleepers on earth—and then on Sunday they all go to chapel and calmly sleep through the sermon.

Doney.) “The South is in dire need of just one thing in order to compete with the North. That need can be satisfied in one place and by one man. The South has never had an amusement resort comparable to Coney Island. A plan is now on foot to remodel Kyle Field into the Coney Island of Texas, and to put trained monkeys, Egyptian muscle dancers, and “Men-only” ladies-step-across-the-street-to-be - entertained” shows in the identical place where of old time the Farmers were wont to crush the weakly figures or Varsity foot¬ ball men into the dirt. (Tremendous enthusiasm). “In order to carry out this plan, a genius is de¬ manded,—a man who has initiative, imagination and experience, one who can handle ladies of Oriental ex¬ traction, one who has traveled widely and knows the wiles of the crafty hick and the simple city-slicker. He must be deeply versed in the ways and means of satisfying the omnivorous appetite of the gullible pub¬ lic, and at the same time be able to wrest the seed- of-life, variety Green Kale from their pouches. The man we have in mind is such a one towering head and shoulders above the crowd, literally speaking. He is the present editor of the Longhorn, which speaks for his utter lack of avarice and sweet de¬ votion to his alma mater. George Morgan, spell it out, George is the man. (Wild applause.) “Morgan is a name besides wmch the names of Ziegfield, Cohan and Carl Hagenbeck sink into pale and dessicated insignificance. He will make this drear community into such a wonder-place that even the dogs of war will turn with whines of eager delight to sniff at the gates of the pleasure place on Kyle Field. His past we will forgive, in view of his fu¬ ture service to the school. We long to have him stand before us and give him the opportunity ' of speaking a few words on the subject of “Kyle Field into Kale or from Gloom to Ecstacy.” Allow me, gentlemen, to introduce to you George the Great.” tFrantic yells of rapture from the throng.

Editorial Room Jottings “Say, Ben, will you please get up and let some one get there that will do something?” “Well, George, ain ' t I writing to the sweetest girl in all the world?” ' “Yes, I know that. But-Fish Bed, go down to the station and get me a berth on the Owl, and while you are down there you might as well go b 3 r and see Carter and tell him that if he don’t get that picture of Ivan Schiller in his pink Boll Worm Disguise 1 am going to have all the Long Horn work done on Broadway. Speaking of Broadway reminds me that I was there last summer, and you should have seen me stepping around telling the girls how beautiful they were. And you know that there isn’t a bit of difference in the girls there and here, for they fall for me just the same as the Texas girls always do.” A great commotion is heard in the hall and in steps Doney with a multi¬ tude of Fish at his heels. Silence reigns for a minute, then in that sweet voice that has been the cause of so many girls having broken hearts, Doney bursts forth as follows: “The South is in dire need of just one thing in order to compete with the North. That need can he furnished in one place and by one man.” (The Fish are all listening with attention, although they have heard the thing thirty times). But George, Ben, Waples, and several others are not giving the attention that Doney desires. Crys of “help,” “down with Bracket Junior,” “to the alley,” and so forth come from all sides and without more ado Doney is helped from the room with old shoes, discarded pillows, and much verbal warning never to come back. Horrors! Someone is missing from the room! Noses are counted and it is found that Waples is missing. Waples is badly needed, for there must be a cartoon made of Luna Park and Steeple Chase. Just then a form flashed by the door, then another, then still another, and behind all these forms comes Waples in a chariot of gold. As soon as the race is stopped, Waples proceeds to massage his flrey steeds with a soothing solution of regulator and pepper sauce. Time out—the mail has come. It is discovered that Bruter Japhet has three letters and they are all from patent medicine houses. It is rumored that Bruter wants some good hair restorer. “And though you are not true, may God bless you: That is the curse of an aching heart.” ill! Page Four hundred eight Blooey!!!—Bam!!!—Swat —Help —Get off my leg 1 . Are yon ever going to sing again. Again it is quiet. But—in the meantime—“If I seven I don’t want no chance: but if I don’t, believe me 1 am a shipwrecked native. Aw look out, you haven’t any right to catch those bones—you are not fading the board. Boy, this is a ten dollar lick, so give me plenty of elbow room.” It is a well known fact that one Wrinkle Moore likes to talk. Well, here he comes with one of his stories. George trys every persuasive method known to man to try to have the story postponed, but Wrinkle is persistent; so the following story was told: “I spent one winter in Wisconsin, and as you all know the favorite past ti me up there is ice skating, and they always have big contests to discover the best skater in the state. The ability of each skater is proven in a peculiar manner. The one that skates the closest to the big air holes in the river is declared the best of the bunch. Well, one afternoon I was out watching a con¬ test and a young fellow was extremely good. He kept skating closer and closer to one of the air holes until he got so close that he fell in. lie was go¬ ing so fast that his head was cut completely from his body; but he was going so fast that his head kept sliding over the ice and his body keeping up with his head under the ice. When the body and head came to the next air hole they came together just exactly and they froze together. Well, the young fel¬ low got out of the river, took his skates oft and went home. When he goi home he changed clothes and then sat down by the tire. He read his paper for a while and then dropped oft to sleep for a few minutes. When he awoke he had a wild desire to blow his nose, but he discovered that he had no hand¬ kerchief. As he was alone, he decided that he didn ' t need one. Therefore, as he leaned over to blow his nose he jerked his head off in the lire. That’s the reason you have never heard of this champion skater of Wisconsin.” AND THEY WONDER WHY THE LONG HORN ISN’T ANY GOOD. 1 Page Four hundred nine Page Four hundred ten AVERY’S PLOWS AND IMPLEMENTS Have satisfactorily tilled and cultivated the soil for ninety-three years.

Crocker, of Center Texas, went down with the sinking of the Tuscania, on February 8th, 1918. It fell to 1918 Class to furnish this man, the hrst of A. M.’s two thousand soldiers, to give his life in the service for his country. As a member of this class he bore the love and respect of each of its members, and his sudden death leaves but bitter sorrow, though when we remember that he died a Hero’s death, our hearts fill with pride. He was buried on the Coast of Scotland February 13th, 1918. •• • __ Editor ' s Note: —Due to the early completion of this book, this page had to be placed among these latter pages of the last section. Page Four hundred forty-six L’ENYOI We have now finished our presentation to you of the record of the 1!)18 Class, and as our thoughts ramble back over the past year’s work, recalling its trials and tribulations along with its joys and pleasures, we sincerely hope that you will not feel disappointed. We have been forced to realize the keen¬ ness of the war situation as members of our class have from day to day been called away to enter active service in some branch of the U. S. Army, and should this book appear to you featured in a military aspect we feel all the more grateful, for what could be more appropriate for this time in the World War. It would have been utterly impossible to have brought the present volume to its completed form without the help of those who have worked without honor and obligations, and by this means though meager as it may seem, we wish to make mention of our appreciations. To Mr. Gilbert Allen Geist, we wish to express our appreciation for his many color plates and helpful suggestions used throughout the construction of this book. Also we are indebted to him for his many ideas used in the planning of each section. To Mr. A. W. Adkisson, our “Snap Shot Bill,” we are due thanks for his many remarkable pictures he has made in portraying College Life at (his school. And for the photographs used in this hook credit is to he given Mr. A. Carter of Bryan. We are deeply indebted to the entire Faculty for their assistance and many privileges the 3 ' have at all times so willingly given this staff. To the Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Company of Milwaukee who have done all engraving and printing in this book, we express our appreciation. Had it not been for their many suggestions, high grade work and promptness from start to finish this book could not have been completed. Lastly: To the entire Long Horn Staff for their faithful work and un¬ tiring efforts, we express our heartfelt thanks. In conclusion : We appre¬ ciate it all. We feel more than compensated for our past year of labors, in that it was one full of pleasant associations, and an opportunity of serving Texas as best we could. —The Editor.
