fliplji Dana X. Bible Source of AggieFaith —One of the greatest football coaches of his day, whose clean spirit of fight has won him a great name in America and a greater place in the hearts of all men of A. M., this volume of The Longhorn is dedicated. REWOffo V 1 YEAR AGO the Editors of this volume of [ The Longhorn set before themselves the aim to make this book artistic, distinctive, and representative of A. and M. Whatever were our failures, low aim was not one of them. We have at least looked high; and we would have you judge our work by standards as high as we have looked. Four years we have lived in this world of our own; four years we have loved the name of A. and M. beyond all others. Under it we have throbbed to moments of high triumph; and under it we have felt the hurt of losing. But always we have been proud of her spirit and of her men. In these four years we have caught fleeting visions of the greatness of her being. Were it possible, we would here set down in picture and in wo rd her great heart and true. To that end we have worked with faith. We have failed in some things—how often we only know. Yet our opportunities have been many and we would make no excuse for our shortcomings. Our hope is that this book may reflect some of the goodness and mightiness of the spirit of A. and M.—a book of which her men may well be proud. For them may it ever keep alive these days of ours that soon are ended. C. With a consciousness of our failures, and yet with the pride that the creator feels in the child of his own heart and brain and hand, we present to you this volume of The Longhorn. 1 fi ' iil S......

MODERN LANGUAGES Page 29 m- — The College F I HE acid test of any institution is the performance of its product. Judged by that exacting test, the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas has earned its right to the support of the State and the Nation. For more than forty years it has been turning out graduates in Agriculture and Engineering and for about the self-same two score years those graduates have been rendering real service in the fields in which they were educated. When America entered the great World War the metal of the A. and M. College men was shown. Forty-eight per cent of the former students were enrolled in the fighting forces of the Army and Navy. This constituted a larger participation in the war, proportionate to the total enrollment, than any other college in the United States. A. and M. has made a great record in war and in peace: in scholastic, military and athletic circles. Doors of the College were opened for the reception of students on October 14, 1876. Very restricted courses of study were offered in Mechanics and Agriculture, while the burden of the instruction fell primarily upon the academic departments. In 1880 there was a general reorganization of the College, when more stress was laid upon the technical subjects. It was in this year, too, that the first class was graduated. Three diplomas were given in the School of Moral Philosophy, three in the School of Latin, one in the School of Greek, four in the School of Mathematics, seven in the School of English, one in the School of Spanish, while two graduated in Engineering. There were no graduates in the School of Agriculture. The work of the College has been expanded many fold since those days to the end that instruction is now only one of the three great missions of the College. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station system, under the direction of Dr. B. Youngblood, an alumnus of the College, is engaged in exhaustive research work in agriculture. This system constitutes the fountain head of Agricultural Knowledge. The dissemination of information developed by the Experiment Station system is the work of the Extension Service. This work, under the direction of T. O. Walton, is the “legs of the College.” This work is carried on co-operatively with the United States Department of Agriculture and has rendered a distinct service to the agricultural interests of the State. The Texas Engineering Experiment Station system is in its infancy, but gives promise of doing a tremendous work. Dean J. C. Nagle of the School of Engineering directs this system. All of these activities are articulated thoroughly with the College proper. Under the guidance of Dr. W. B. Bizzell the College with its threefold mission is serving its purpose in a splendid fashion. Page SO Ifff Hi m ill Mi mm ii I � mb The A rchitectural Department RCHJTECTURE, like pure art, is confused in the layman’s mind with lice and long hair; pale, sad faces of artists who have supped too long on weinie sausage, and the maudlin, sensuous, devil-may-care students who haunt that strange quarter of Paris where Arts, Letters and the Devil rule in capricious glee. That this highly illuminated side of the artistic world may not stand out representative and lead the uninitiated to believe that those who seek the beautiful must wade every stagnant social pool in existence, the Architectural Students of A. M. make bold to put before the bar of popular judgment the machinery of their department, and then stand back in perfect confidence of the verdict “Virgin Pure.” The Architectural Department seeks to accomplish one thing: Graduates who can go out and, thru the sale of a happy combination of long and short, straight and crooked lines, gain an honest, if not a comfortable, living. In this purpose it has met with varying degrees of success. There seems to be no difficulty encountered when it comes to producing men who can wield a pictorially versatile pen filled with India’s blackest ink, but when it comes to turning out grad¬ uates—that is another story. The past two years have been formative years, years of great handicaps and great problems. Due to that old score, “The Great War,” which stands like a hall tree in the corridors of misfortune to catch the ragged garments of responsibility for failure, the Department has been short of students, having only six candidates for graduation in the classes of ’20 and ' 21. This condition was bad enough, of course, but to augment matters, the Department had fallen too much under the frowning shadows of another department, and had ceased the noble pursuit of beauty in antiquity. Instead, they went to the other extreme, and artistic expression and grandeur of conception was overshadowed by a “1:2:4 mix,” an erratic engineer, and a maze of oddly twisted rods, stirrups, and formulae that only the faithful can believe. It is believed that the division of the courses into two distinct branches, Design and Structural, will give the architectural student free reign in the development of any natural talent which he may possess. A discussion of the Architectural Department would not be complete, aye, it would lack soul, if it did not contain the name of that guiding light of genius, Joseph Kellog. It is “Little Joe” that brings a word of cheer when we so cordially “bust” a C. E. quiz. It is Little Joe who is there in the drafting room at all hours of the day and night to smile good-naturedly before one of our dilettante cartoons, and there, with a few deft strokes, transforming it into a pleasing, well-balanced composition. ....... Page 31 Chemical Engineering A | A11 E Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 1908 and in 1911 there were two graduates. The Department has grown until in 1922 there are 38 graduates. Today the Department has sixteen teachers and gives instruction to over a thousand students, one hundred and twenty-five of whom are specializing in Chemical Engineering. The course of instruction is designed to prepare young men for technical work in those industries in which the raw materials undergo a chemical change in the process of manufacture. The analytical work given in the course is suffi¬ cient to enable the graduate to engage in the work of a commercial plant or to enter an industrial plant as a control chemist. The control chemist repeatedly analyzes and evaluates the raw materials used in manufacture, as well as the intermediate arid final products. It is thru such control that industries of this kind have been made profitable. At the same time enough work is given in general engineering practice to enable the graduate who enters the works as a control chemist to come in time to a full understanding and mastery of the industry in which he is engaged. The fifth year’s work, leading to the degree of Chemical Engineer, is designed to facilitate the transformation of the control chemist into the manager of an industrial plant, capable of adapting chemical processes to the varying conditions of the plant and improving upon them as occasion demands. Since 1911 the Department has graduated eighty-one men, a majority of whom are now holding responsible positions in the industries involving chem¬ istry. One young man, a graduate of 1912, is now Assistant Superintendent of the Magnolia Petroleum Company’s refineries in Beaumont, a graduate of 1913 is now General Manager of the Pierce Oil Corporation’s Refineries, while still others may be found holding such positions as City Chemist, Junior Chemist, Research Chemist, Control Chemist, etc. The Chemical Engineering Department also claims two rather unique distinctions. In the past eight years, five of the Editors-in-Chief of the ‘‘Long¬ horn” have been Chemical Engineers. It also has the honor of having the largest graduating class in 1922 of any engineering department in the history of the College. Page 32 The Civil Engineering Department T N 1887 the Civil Engineering Department was established. For the first two years Mr. J. H. Kinealy was the professor in charge, then for one year it was under the direction of Dr. Charles Puryear, now dean of the college. From 1890 to 1913, and from 1917 to date, Dean J. C. Nagle was head of the department. From 1913 to 1917 the late Dean D. W. Spence was its head. In 1911 the School of Engineering was organized and since that time the professor of Civil Engineering has also been Dean of the School of Engineering, and since the organization of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station in 1914 he has also been director of the station. 1 N Inclusive of the class which graduates this year, 501 young men have completed the Civil Engineering Course. Also, in 1903, two young women, twin daughters of the then professor of history, Mr. Charles W. Hutson, completed the course, and one of them was for several years estimator in the office of a large machinery manufacturing company. About a dozen graduates of the course have also completed the advanced course required for the degree of Civil Engineer, and a number of others have received degrees from other technical institutions. Of the Civil Engineering graduates during the past fifteen or twenty years, only a very small percentage has failed to follow engineering as a profession. They have not confined their professional fields to Texas nor even to the United States. Some have been heard from in Mexico, Central and South America, India, Korea, Africa and other foreign countries. Every¬ where they have given good account of themselves. A graduate of this course has held the highest-salaried public office in Texas—that of State Highway Engineer—for a number of years before being called to a middle western state by larger financial and professional inducements. Another is State Highway Engineer of one of the northwestern states, while still others have attained even higher responsibilities and emoluments in oil and financial circles. The large majority, however, are doing their part in helping to develop our own great state, and all are loyal sons of A. and M., no matter where their fields of activity lie. Freshman civil engineers take the same course of study as other engineering freshmen. Through the sophomore and junior years the work offers little opportunity for election, but in the senior year the student may choose between the group in general civil engineering and the group in highway and sanitary engineering. There are three divisions” in the department, each one of which might well be made a separate department, but for reasons of economy in administration and for the better correlation of the subjects offered in the course, each division, as well as the department as a whole, is directly in charge of a full professor. There are also two associate professors, one assistant professor, and two instructors on the teaching staff. Page 33 3 Electrical Engineering t I HE course in Electrical Engineering is designed to prepare young men for positions with organizations engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for lighting and power; with organizations engaged in the design, manufacture, and distribution of electrical machinery; with elec¬ trical railway companies; with organizations engaged in the electrical trans¬ mission of communications; and in many other branches where electricity is made to do the work of mankind. In common with the other engineering courses of this college, the Elec¬ trical Engineering course has for a foundation a knowledge of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. To this are added courses selected to give a thorough ground¬ ing in the fundamental principles of electricity and the laws governing the electric and magnetic circuits; to give a mental discipline that will enable the student to analyze engineering problems with which he may be confronted and work toward their solution; and to arouse an interest in engineering, and par¬ ticularly the Electrical branches of Engineering, which will be an incentive to the student to put forth his best efforts for success in the engineering field. A study of the rigorous laws of natural phenomena should impress on the student the importance of accuracy, careful interpretation of facts, and close adherence to the truth. The Department of Electrical Engineering occupies the Electrical Engineer¬ ing Building, a fire-proof structure containing three well-equipped dynamo laboratories, three laboratories for the study and use of the more delicate elec¬ trical measuring instruments, a communication laboratory, and ample class rooms, lecture rooms, store rooms, and offices. The teaching staff consists of Professor F. C. Bolton, Head of the Depart¬ ment; Professor O. B. Wooten, Associate Professor J. B. Straw, Associate Pro¬ fessor G. H. Sechrist, Assistant Professor C. C. Yates, Assistant Professor E. W. Markle, Instructor L. L. Fouraker, Instructor E. B. Paxton, and In¬ structor A. S. Legg. The equipment for undergraduate work equals that of any institution in the country. A radio station equipped for both radio telephony and radio telegraphy is maintained and supplements the work of the laboratories. 31 Page 3 Mechanical Engineering F I AHE crowded condition of the Electrical Engineering building which was j erected on an appropriation for Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering has been relieved by the erection of a new Mechanical Engineer¬ ing building for class rcoms and offices. The fire of December, 1920 badly crippled the department, both in quarters and equipment; but the regular ses¬ sion of the last Legislature by its emergency appropriation for the new shops building, has made possible ample space for all over-crowding in class rooms and shops. With the readjustment made possible by the erection of the new Mechanical Engineering shops building, the whole department will be provided with very satisfactory quarters. The class room and office building gives ample and suitable space for all offices, drafting rooms, library, museum, and small special laboratories while good class room space is provided. The new shops building will provide accommodations for the shop work of the Department with provision for the convenience and comiort of the students and instructors; ample toilet and locker rooms are provided. The Mechanical Engineering laboratory, expanding into the whole of the building which is now occupied in part, will find a much needed relief, and with proper additions to the equipment should prove better able to meet the heavy demands on it from the students of other courses. The Mechanical Engineering Department provides instruction not alone to students of the Mechanical Engineering courses, but to students of many other courses. If there were no students taking the Mechanical Engineering course, less than one-third of the work offered by this department would be dropped. This shows that the work offered by this department is of a very general nature and is being more and more demanded in the various courses offered in the College. In the second year the work begins to become somewhat specialized and is offered only for those courses which may be called dynamic engineering, and includes Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Textile students; a limited amount of shop work is given for Agricultural Engineering students. The specialization becomes more and more pronounced thru the Junior and Senior years, so that some of the work of the Junior year is planned for Mechanical Engineering students only; and in the Senior year, part of the work is limited to groups specializing in certain Mechanical Engineering lines. Page 35 i Textile Engineering A I AHE textile engineering plant is a miniature cotton mill built, not for the purpose of pro¬ duction, but for instruction. It contains all of the various types of machinery found in the mills of both this and foreign lands. The course of study is divided into three main heads: Yarn Manufacture and Mill Management, Designing and Weaving, and Cotton Class¬ ing—each of which is in turn divided up into its respective sub-divisions. Professor J. B. Bagley, head of the Department of Textile Engineering, has under his im¬ mediate supervision yarn manufacture and mill management, the former being a detailed study of the construction, settings, and calculations of all machinery employed in making the final yarn from the raw cotton. Thruout the course of this instruction, the students run delicate research tests on the breaking strength of threads as a result of different settings on various machines and also of different grades of cotton used. Such articles as rope and twine are also fruits of this department. The division of designing and weaving is under the charge of Assistant Professor F. E. Lichte. It deals with the creation of design, the character of construction, known in the curricula as Fabric Analysis, and the actual weaving of cloth. A wide variation of goods is woven by the students—ducks, sheeting, toweling, shirting, ginghams, elaborately designed table cloths, etc. Also under Professor Fichte ' s supervision, sizing, an essential phase of the preparation of warp onto the beam ready for the loom, is taught. Due to the lack of proper equipment in this department, a thorough course of instruction in dyeing, a very important requirement of the Textile Engineer, is given in the Department of Chemical Engineering after two years preliminary preparation in chemistry. Associate Pro¬ fessor L. E. Dowd is in charge of the Cotton Classing Department. It is here that the student attains a working knowledge in classing, stapling, buying, and selling cotton. Also in a brief way the paper work connected with the transferring of cotton between both domestic and foreign concerns is taught. So popular has this particular department become, especially in the last few years, that it was found necessary to conduct a large cotton classing school each summer. The Textile Engineering graduate has a well rounded conception of the details necessary for the production of all kinds of goods thru the various stages from the raw material to the finished product. He is capable of classing and stapling the cotton properly at the gins. He can spin it into yarn, dye it, size it, create a design and place the pattern on the loom, weave it into cloth, inspect it, finish it, bale it, and sell it.

Sc gates, A. E., Professor H. P. Smith, B. S., Associate Professor E. M. King, Instructor S. D. Snyder, B. S., Associate Professor F. R. Jones, B. S., Instructor C. J. Hutchinson, B. S., Instructor The Department has two aims: first, to give the regular agricultural students training in the solution of farm problems that call for the application of engineering principles; second, to train specialists in agricultural engineering. The Eight Weeks’ Course in Automobiles and Tractors is offered for anyone who wishes to get a short course in the fundamental mechanics of the gas engine, automobile and tractor such as is offered in the Trade Schools. The Two-Year Course in Agricultural Engineering is designed primarily for the needs of students who cannot enter the four-year course and who wish to specialize in the engineering side of agriculture. The Special Four-Year Group leads to the degree of B. S. in Agriculture and allows two years’ specialization in agricultural engineering. The Four-Year Course in Agricultural Engineering leads to the degree of B. S. in A. E., being planned to turn out specialists in the work. The Department teaches those subjects which deal with the engineering problems of the farm, such as farm buildings, farm machinery, concrete con¬ struction, gas engines, tractors and automobiles. In addition, graduates in A. E. are prepared for teaching, for extension and experiment station work, and for work on surveying, irrigation and dr ainage projects. The Department is well equipped with motors, tractors and many different makes of farm imple¬ ments. Page it 8 J. O. Morgan, M. S. A., Ph. D., Professor E. P. Humbert, M. S. A., Ph. D., Professor C. A. Wood, B. S., M. S., Associate Professor J. H. Stallings, B. S., M. S., Associate Pro- D. G. Sturkie, B. S., Instructor fessor W. H. Corpening, B. S., Instructor As now organized, this department is responsible for the instruction in soils, fertilizers, farm crops and genetics. The courses in soils are planned to give the student a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles underlying the proper management of the soil, followed by advanced instruction dealing primarily with the recent literature of the subject and the results of the most noteworthy investigation pertaining to soils and soil fertility. The work in fertilizers embraces a study of the properties of fertilizing materials; methods of determining the fertilizer needs of soils; correct fertilizer practice with reference to the field crops; lime and its use in soil management; the care, management and use of barnyard manure, and the proper utilization of green manure in soil improvement. In the courses in farm crops, the leading field crops are studied with regard to structure, composition, races and varieties, tillage practice, harvesting and marketing. In the advanced courses special attention is given to the recent development in the field of crop production, and the work is so directed as to cover thoroughly the results of the more recent and noteworthy investigations relative to the various phases of crop production. The work in genetics comprises a fundamental study of the resemblances and differences in individuals related by descent, to the end that these relation¬ ships may be accounted for. This course is fundamental to the improvement by breeding of both plants and animals. The department aims to give the student both the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to produce maximum crops at minimum cost and at the same time to keep the soil permanently productive.

Koehler, B. S., Instructor It is the purpose of the Animal Husbandry Department to train men in the sefectio ' impro duction and management of live stock. The course of instruction is divided into four main groups, namely, judging, breeding, feeding, and production and management. During the first two years of the college course the student is trained in the judging of live stock from a market and breed standpoint; during the third year instruction is given as to the breeding and feeding of animals, and through the senior year the work is devoted to the production and management of the various classes of live stock. In addition, students are urged to work on live stock farms during vacations, and advanced students are given special attention in making trips to live stock farms, shows and sales. The home of the department is the Animal Husbandry Building, which contains the offices, the classrooms, the laboratory for meat cutting and the judging arena. As an outdoor classroom to familiarize the student with the various classes of live stock and the practical operation of a live stock farm the department .naaiintains the Animal Husbandry Farm of some two hundred and fifty acres. There are barns for the horses, beef cattle, sheep and hogs, at which the principal breeds of live stock adapted to Texas conditions in each of these classes of ani¬ mals are maintained. Seeing Things Dairy Husbandry “Texas dairy cattle will make Texas rich R. L. Pou, M. S., Professor J. A. Clutter, B. S., Associate Professor A. L. Darnell, M. S., Associate Professor It is the aim of the Dairy Husbandry Department to teach students the most approved methods of selecting, feeding, breeding and managing dairy cattle, and the testing, handling, manufacturing and marketing of dairy products. The work begins in the Freshman Year with the selection and judging of dairy cattle, and is followed by a general course in the composition of milk. The third year is occupied by courses in market milk and milk inspection, dairy manufacturing and advanced dairy cattle judging. In the Senior Year herd book study, dairy cattle feeding, management and study along selected lines of research with a review of recent Experiment Station Work leave the graduate prepared to enter the field of dairy farming, dairy husbandry teaching, extension work in dairy husbandry and in research work. Short Course Students are offered work in farm dairying, which takes up the feeding, breeding and management of dairy cattle, and the use and care of cream separators and the manufacture of ice cream and butter on the farm. To afford a means of instruction, in the producer’s field of dairying, the department maintains a seven-hundred acre dairy farm, well equipped, and with an “approved” herd of some one hundred and fifty pure-bred cows consisting of the Jersey, Holstein and Ayrshire breeds. The Holsteins and Jerseys in about equal numbers constitute some ninety-five per cent of the herd. Students in the practice field receive their practice work in the College Creamery which is operated in connection with the department. Here special instruction is given in the making of butter, ice cream, and the handling of market milk. Page Jfl m 0w f H I u r I f it Horticulture “By its fruits you may judge it E. J. Kyle, B. S., B. S. A., M. S. A., Professor A. T. Potts, M. S., Professor F. W. Hensel, M. S., Associate Professor G. W. Adriance, M. S., Assistant Professor R. J. Cole, B. S., Instructor F. R. Brison, B. S., Instructor The aim of the Horticultural Department is threefold: first, to develop practical fruit and vegetable growers and landscape artists; second, to train men for research work; third, to prepare men to teach horticulture and do extension work in horticulture. In order to accomplish successfully these aims, the students are given a thorough grounding during their freshman and sophomore years in the funda¬ mental sciences of Chemistry, Biology, Geology and Entomology; and in their junior and senior years they are given work principally in the technical agri¬ cultural subjects, especially those along Horticultural lines. The technical courses cover somewhat fully the different lines of Horti¬ culture, including Plant Propagation, Vegetable Gardening, Fruit Growing, Nut Culture, Plant Breeding, Viticulture, Spraying, Citrus Fruits and Experi¬ mental Horticulture, besides special work in Landscape Art and Floriculture. The department now has growing on the college grounds standard varieties of peaches, pecans, grapes, persimmons, pears, plums, figs, and small fruits con¬ sisting of blackberries and dewberries. Extensive plantings are also made to roses and ornamentals. Besides the theoretical and practical instruction given at the College, the student is given an opportunity to work, during the summer, in the orchards and on the vegetable farms of the largest growers, not only in this state but in other leading vegetable and fruit growing states. h I FTm l fin r! N - i j 11 i Ilf I (II Sh A X ' Page Jf2 Agricultural Administration “The Business Side of Agriculture The four-year course in Agricultural Administration gives opportunity for fundamental training to those who wish to prepare themselves for an agricultural economist, a marketing specialist, an agricultural statistician, business in an agricultural environment, and for economic and social research, teaching and extension work. The work o f the freshman year is prescribed and is designed to articulate closely with the courses that follow in subsequent years. Beginning with the sophomore, the course is divided into three groups and a somewhat restricted choice of electives is allowed. Group I consists of agricultural economics, accounting, marketing, sta¬ tistics, etc. Group II consists of farm cost accounting and farm management. Group III consists of the sociological aspects of rural life. It is the purpose of these groups to train men to deal intelligently with the social and economic problems of the state. Dr. F. A. Buechel, Ph. M., Professor of Agricultural Administration. Rural Social Science “The fundamental interest of farm boys and girls is not farming, but play and social amusement The objectives of the work in this department are: First, to study the various conditions and agencies molding country life, and on the basis of this study to work out constructive plans for promoting desirable conditions; second, to arouse interest in rural social problems; third, to promote the habit of straight thinking. The courses given deal with such subjects as the relations between town and country, population questions, public opinion, rural leadership, community organizations, rural health, rural recreation, the rural church, and community planning. The work of the department is designed for the general student, prospective agriculture teachers and county agents, special social science teachers and in¬ vestigators, rural editors, secretaries of small town chambers of commerce and rural community secretaries. Wm. E. Garnett, M. A., Ph. D., Professor of Rural Social Science. Farm Management “Find the facts first, Mr. Farmer It is necessary to prepare a sound business plan to follow in managing a farm. It is equally vital to know the readjustment that should be made in this plan because of rapidly changing conditions, and the proper time for putting these readjustments into practice. Training students to answer these business problems correctly is the aim of this department. Methods of recording the information about a farm that is needed as a basis for improving its organization and management are worked out in the course on cost accounting. The farm management course takes up the important business principles affecting profitable farm organization, showing how they apply, and the conclusions to be drawn under the different conditions that exist at various times. Successful and unsuccessful Texas farms are studied to test the soundness of these conclusions as applied to their business in the past. Plans for these farms are then prepared for the present and future years. Throughout the entire course the problems are made as nearly as possible like those faced by a farmer in managing his business. P. K. Whelpton, B. S., Professor of Farm Management. Page Ji3 Biology 11 The seen and the unseen Biology is that division of Natural Science which treats of living things, and as such it serves to answer some of the “whys” of life. The work of the department falls into three groups: Botany, Zoology and Bacteriology, each of which is in charge of an associate professor. Botany is the study of the structure, physiology and classification of plants. Zoology similarly treats of animal life. Both courses are organized to present the broad, general principles of the science, which the student learns inductively for the most part from his laboratory work. Bacteriology treats of the bacteria, which of all living things most profoundly affect the welfare of human beings. This is especially true of their relation to disease, but they are almost equally im¬ portant in beneficent ways to many of the productive pursuits of man. These latter relationships are carefully studied, largely in the laboratory. O. M. Ball, A. M., Ph. D., Professor; Hugh Cassiday, A. M., Associate Professor; A. R. Calm, A. M., Associate Professor; D. J. Pratt, A. M., Associate Professor; Howard Burt, A. M., Assistant Professor; Pinoyer F. English, A. B., Instructor. Entomology The wherefore of Bughunter This department aims to give entomological training from the general, for the regular agricultural student, to the advanced technical, for the specialist. A course is given in which the general student can acquaint himself with the life histories and control methods of the common parasites of the domestic animals such as ticks, mites, screw worm flies, stable flies, horn flies and bot flies. The course in beekeeping enables the student to fit himself either for the production of honey for home consumption or for commercial beekeeping. He is taught how to construct hives, the methods of bee manipulation, together with the most modern ideas on the control of swarms and colony division. An advanced course is offered on the control of bee diseases, commercial beekeeping and queen rearing for those students who wish to make beekeeping a profession. S. W. Bilsing, B. S., M. A., Professor; R. K. Fletcher, A. B., M. S., Associate Professor; T. P. Remy, Assistant Professor. Forestry The saving of the trees This department aims to give students a general idea of forestry and forest conditions and to demonstrate the work in the laboratory and in the field. The courses are designed to acquaint the students thoroughly with forest conditions in Texas and in a general way with forest conditions in the United States. Detailed instruction is given in the planting of windbreaks, groves and shade trees for the treeless and windy portions of the state; methods of treating diseased and injured trees are demonstrated, and the methods of caring for woodlots, of which the farmers of Texas own over five million acres. The increasing waste of Texas forest lands calls for students of forestry to render public service by becoming leaders of forestry thoughts in their home communities. E. O. Siecke, B. S., B. S.

The department also extends every help possible to the poultry breeders and farmers of Texas so that they may better enlarge and develop this .side of their farm and add much to the agricultural development and wealth of our state. The work in Poultry Husbandry is planned to cover in a thorough manner all phases of poultry production, management and marketing. A complete course in the essentials is offered to sophomores, which includes the breeds and judging, breeding for egg production, incubation, brooding, housing, feeds, diseases, management and marketing. Advanced work is offered in breeding, feeding and marketing, with some attention to the development and methods of doing business in other countries. The teaching is divided into classroom work and practical contact work on the College Poultry Farm, where some interesting and valuable experiments in feeding, breeding and management are carried on. T. J. Conway, B. S., Professor; J. W. Patton, D. V. M., Instructor. Vocational Teaching “Prepare others for their jobs The chief function of the Department of Vocational Teaching is to train vocational teachers for Agriculture, the Trades and the Industries. The de¬ partment also offers the opportunity for all teachers and students of the College to secure professional improvement with regard to teaching and related lines of service. Two types of courses are offered: First, those that give the broad funda¬ mental principles upon which public education is based; second, those that develop technique and skill in school management and the organization of the subject matter of the curriculum. All courses are based upon the proposition that education supported by public taxation should function in social and vo¬ cational efficiency. There is a demand for teachers who can meet the standards set by the State Board of Vocational Education in accordance with requirements of the Smith-Hughes Act in both Agricultural and Industrial Education. Teachers meeting these requirements and securing positions under the direction of the State Board receive one-half their salary from Federal funds. The department trains such teachers. Provision is also made for giving further professional training to teachers in service, and pedagogical training to men who already have technical knowledge and skill in a particular trade who desire training in teaching in that field. The staff of the department consists of Martin L. Hayes, B. S., A. M., Professor of Vocational Teaching; J. Horace Kraft, A. B., B. S. in Agronomy and Agricultural Education, Professor of Agricultural Education; Charles Marten, B. S., M. A., Associate Professor of Industrial Education; W. L. Hughes, A. B., B. S., Associate Professor of Rural Education; Geo. L. Dickey, B. S., Assistant Professor of Agricultural Education; G. B. Wilcox, Instructor in Rural Education; V. R. Glazener, Instructor in Rural Education. tl 10 Page 1 5 The School of Veterinary Medicine “Animal health is the basis of animal wealth” Mark Francis, D. V. M., Dean R. P. Marsteller, D. V. M., Professor S. N. Blackberg, D. V. M., Associate A. A. Lenert, B. S., D. V. M., Associate Professor Professor E. W. Price, D. V. M., Associate Professor The School of Veterinary Medicine was established at the A. M. College by an act of the State Legislature in 1916. Ample facilities were provided for the most thorough instruction. The school offers a four-year course of study, leading to the degree of D. V. M., which has been approved by the Civil Service Commission and the American Veterinary Medical Association. It is the aim of the College to train veterinarians to deal with the diseases and defects of live stock, and with their causative agents. It further aims to conduct investigations looking toward discoveries in the nature of diseases, in therapeutics, and in the immunization of animals from contagion; and toward the production of biological products to be employed in diagnosis, treatment and immunization. The object of this School of Veterinary Medicine is: to control investigations as to the nature, prevention and cure of animal diseases, including such as are communicable to man and such as cause epizootics among live stock; to produce reliable standard preparations of toxins and antitoxins to be- used in the diag¬ nosis, prevention and cure of diseases, and in the conducting of sanitary work by modern methods; and to give instruction in the normal structure and function of the animal body, and in all matters pertaining to sanitary science as applied to live stock and correlatively to the human family. y Page 6 The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. B. Youngblood, Ph. D., Director The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System is one of the live co¬ ordinate major divisions of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Its function is to conduct the research work of the College and constant search is being made for new facts as to the nature and behavior of the plant and animal life in which the farmers and students of farming are interested. When results justify them, bulletins are prepared in which are published the findings of the investigators, and those bulletins are mailed free to all citizens of Texas requesting them. The scientific facts which are being developed from time to time are utilized by the professors of the College in the instruction of the stu¬ dents, and by the specialists of the Extension Service in their instruction of the farmers of Texas. Further, the county agricultural agents of the Extension Service are required to pass an examination on the various functions of the Experiment Station so that they can teach the farmers in the counties where they serve. The station plant includes the Research Administration Building, the Research Chemistry Building, the Texas Fever Barn and the Black Leg and Anthrax Serum Laboratories in which buildings the laboratory tests of the station are carried on. The outdoor grounds consist of 6,256 acres, which includes the main station farm, the Feeding and Breeding Substation of 900 acres, the Veterinary Science grounds, and twelve other substations in various sections of the state comprising 4,846 acres; so that tests are being made in nearly every agricultural region of importance in the state. Including the administrative officers and the corps of scientists and their helpers, there are about one hundred employees of the station working con¬ tinually at the business of developing new agricultural knowledge. The federal government appropriates annually at present $30,000 and the state government about $200,000 toward the support of the station. However, the station must have more man power and more money if it is to approach the normal of its full function. The Extension Service Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. T. O. Walton, Director Co-operative Extension Work was made possible by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 and consists of the giving of instruction, practical demonstrations in agriculture and home economics to persons in rural communities through field demonstrations, publications and otherwise. The Farm Demonstration Work is conducted by County Agents; the Home Demonstration Work by Home Demonstration Agents in the several counties meeting with the conditions essential to the installation of the work. There are at present one hundred and forty-five County Agents and forty Home Demonstration Agents engaged in the work in Texas. The administrative headquarters of the Texas work is located at the Col¬ lege and consists of a personnel of some sixty workers. ! V The Academic Departments ■ | HE primary function of the A. M. College of Texas is to provide adequate instruction | in Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and the Natural Sciences connected therewith. But in giving this training it is recognized that the cultural studies can not be neglected, for the Agriculturist and the Engineer of the present day must not only be skilled in the technical phases of his profession, but must be prepared to take the leadership in the social and economic develop¬ ment of the community in which he resides. The necessary cultural foundation for the technical work of the College is laid by thorough instruction in Economics, Literature, Public Speaking, History, Modern Languages, Education, and Rural Social Science. Well equipped departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics provide adequate facilities for the study of the Natural Sciences. The studies in the Department of Economics include the Fundamental Principles of Eco¬ nomics, Business Law, Accounting, Marketing, Statistics, Corporations, and Money and Banking. The Fundamental Principles of Economics is a course required of all students. Other courses are open to Juniors and Seniors as electives. The Department of English gives courses in Rhetoric, Composition, Argumentation, and Public Speaking, which are required of all students. Courses in English Literature are offered as electives. Citizenship and Industrial Development are emphasized in the Department of History, which also offers courses dealing with Modern Europe and Latin-America. The usual elementary and advanced courses in French, German, and Spanish are offered by the Department of Modern Languages. These courses are open to Juniors and Seniors as elec¬ tives. While not required for a degree, it is strongly urged that the student include at least two years of a foreign language in his college course, especially if he plans to go into research or scientific work, or expects to pursue graduate work here or elsewhere. The field of Vocational Education is presented in an efficient manner by the Department of Vocational Teaching. Its main purpose is to train teachers of Agriculture and the Trades and Industries, under the provisions of the Smith-Hughes Act. The number of high schools offering courses in Agriculture is continually increasing, and the demand for well trained teachers for this work is greater than the supply. The Department also offers the courses necessary to obtain a state teacher’s certificate, which entitles the holder to teach in any of the high schools of the state. A recent and important addition to the work of the College is the Department of Rural Social Science, which has for its main objective the study and solution of the social problems of community life. It is a generally accepted fact that the future welfare of our nation depends upon the proper development of our rural population, and Texas presents some of the greatest problems along this line to be found anywhere. Careful study is made in this department of the social and economic problems of country life and the principles of successful community organization. Colleges of Agriculture are coming to realize more and more the great value to the student of the studies described above, and the vital importance to the country at large of preparing men trained as leaders in every phase of economic and social life, especially as it relates to the rural community. The courses of study in the A. M. College have been revised so as to pro¬ vide greater opportunity for the student of these important problems, and the great interest manifested by the students justifies the prediction that tremendous progress in the solution of the great problem of country life will be made in the next ten years.

Society. “Freddie” “Perseverance conquers all.” Freddie entered A. and M. in 1916, and took a two-years’ vacation which he spent in chasing “Boches” around Fland¬ ers Field. He returned to finish his education and has made an enviable record. His determination to finish whatever he begins, and the ease with which he accomplishes hard tasks, speaks well for his future. N I TV X JACOB A. GURWITZ San Antonio, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lieut Art. Shk. Trp.; A. I. E. E. “Jake” Jake is a bootful of dry wit from the garlic swamp who lost his taste for cherries while in Dallas last fall. After making Dallas, Waco, and Houston in his “Coal 8,” he has resumed his task of im¬ pressing Mr. Straw that he “knows his stuff.” The result is that the pride and joy of San Antonio promises to upset many of Einstein’s theories. JOHN RICE GUYNES Corsicana, Texas Textile Engineering Age 21; Casual; Baseball “T”; “T Club; T. E. Society; Vice-Pres. Navarro County Club; R. V. “Uncle Johnny” Hubbard produced Tris Speaker and Chatficld ' produced Uncle Johnny, which proves that great ball players come from the small towns. John Rice, as an outfielder of ability has helped win many a diamond victory for the Maroon and White. He has a host of friends at A. and M. who wish for him every success in the future. Page 72 ‘ ‘ B rooke’ ’—‘ ‘Scotty” Brooke’s name is still afresh on the minds of those cadets who were at some time benefited by the wise counsel or comforting words of this genial comrade. Men similar to Brooke, possessing that great asset of broad vision of worldly problems incidental to successful class policies, will be sorely missed in Aggieland. Page 73 Page 74 Paye 75 Bexar, Alabama Agriculture Age 28; Federal Student; Casual; Wanderers’ Club; Masonic Club; Pres. Federal Students’ Club. “L. D.” L. D. is a big hearted Christian gentleman; a hard worker, quiet, modest, and considerate; and a man who never allows the adversities of college life to ruffle his calm and deliberate disposition. With his high ideals, sterling character, and faith in others, he has won the admiration and respect of instructors and students alike. RUTHERFORD HAYES HOWELL Bexar, Alabama Agricultural Education Age 30; Casual; West Ala. Agri. School; Masonic Club; Wanderers’ Club; 324th Inf., A. E. F. “Fatty” After being discharged, Fatty came to us with,the stern determination to complete his education. To say that he has been successful is expressing it mildly. From a social standpoint he is well versed. He is good-looking, has dark eyes, a good line, and is well liked by—everyone. Page 76 B. L. JENKINS Clarendon, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 21; 2nd Lieut., Co. B, Inf.; Panhandle Club. “Constable”—“Bill Leviathon” You would never guess from gazing upon this sphinx-like countenance that behind it all was a world of humor. In a “bull pen,” Constable more than holds his own. It is a shame that he chose bug hunting, for as a Horizontal Engineer he would have risen high. He is one of the few in this college who has no enemy. im! wm LEON CARLTON JINKS Bay City, Texas Horticulture Age 25; 2nd Lieut. Shk. Trp. Inf.; Pres. City Club; Hort. Club; Bat. Staff; B. S. U. “Parson”—“Jinx”—“Silence” The H. T. C. was steaming southward; the engi¬ neer questioned the fireman as to the noise in the tender. After listening, the fireman said: “ ’Tis Jinx going to Rice. And at present he is telling of the man who made the touchdown against Rice in 1881.” A few months later, Jinx was a guest of the H. T. C. to Waco. Page 77 lift lih m mm kjjfl m « CHARLES C. JOBSON Mesquite, Texas Agronomy Age 26; Casual; R. V.; Sgt. A. E. F. “Job” Job found the duty to his country greater in 1917 than the college spirit, so he joined the colors. He returned this year after ten months of wandering through France and Germany, with renewed determination to get that coveted sheep skin. His many friends will always greet him in the commercial world as on the campus, but we regret to lose him. ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSON Dallas, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Dallas Club; Chem. Club; Tennis Ass ' n; Dramatic Club. . “Slew” Slew gets his name from the size of his pedal extremities, but as all who know him will testify his heart is built in proportion. Lie is a Chemical Engineer with tennis and dramatics as a sideline. He is one of the rare characters who can laugh in the face of big odds. JOHN H. JONES JVindthorst, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 1st Sgt. Bat. B, ' 20-21; Capt. Bat. B, ' 21-22; R. V.; Distinguished Student; International Stock Judging Team; Pres. Northwest Texas Club; Ringmaster 1020 Rodeo. “John” Ladies and Gentlemen: This man has a world-wide reputation as director of Rodeos and a judge of livestock. He has directed Rodeos in Brazil, Argentine, and other South American countries. Mr. John H. Jones for your approval. Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; East Texas Club; Hort. Society. “Corporal 99”—“W. R.” Corporal 99 has always been found in any dark deed of mystery. Bug hunting was his delightful pastime when the long spring afternoons came, but he showed his greatest activity in answering certain auto ' horns. Buicks and “Coal 8’s” were his favorites, and two o’clock his bed time. What was his was everyone’s. ■I Si J Page 78 Mechanical Engineering Age jq; Casual; A. S. M. E.; Wanderers ' Club; Tau Beta Pi; R. V. “Quebie” Quebie is not always the studious person he seems to be, for he enters into practically every form of college activity. In particular will his name be remembered in connection with the Junior Banquet of 1920. Society also comes in for a share of his attention and his Overland can frequently be seen headed for our near-by city. Age 20; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Company Football, ' 18- iq- 20. “Leonidas”—“Golias” Even tho Key is only a 2nd Lieut, he should be a Bragadier General, judging from the affection and esteem in which he is held by Captain DeRohan. This affection was won by the great eagerness Key displayed to the captain for his “destructive” work on the trenches. ’Sail right Golias, all the easy paths in life are not strewn with tacks. Page 79 Page 80 Susie is known to practically every student on the campus, and is hailed as a jolly good fellow where- ever he goes. He is a student and a gentleman, and is as true to his friends as the stars to their courses. When he enters the field of industrial chemistry, he will surely make a success and win his place among the great men of the age. 6 Pacje 81 OTTO CHRISTIAN LOTT Galveston, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 23; 2nd Lieut. Co. D, Inf.; Sec’y-Treas. Galveston Club, ' 20-21; and Pres., ' 21-22; Chem. Club. “Oto Loto”—“Little Breeches” This is Otto, a five feet three package of live wire from Ball Hi, Galveston. As a fish, Otto became famous for his track work under the able tutelage of “Skinney” Vandervoort. Many races did he run and many holes did he hunt, for those were the good old days. He is a true friend to those who know him. W. M. LOVE Milford, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 23; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Pres. Hill Co. Club; Junior Stock Judging Team; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Pres. Presbyterian Group; R. V. “General” It was in his fish year that Love became our “General.” So well has he lived up to this name that the Military Department availed itself of the opportunity and bestowed the commission of 2nd Lieut. Shock Troops upon him. He is the kind of a man we are glad to call “friend.” Page 82 THOMAS J. McCARTY Cisco, Texas Civil Engineering Age 2i; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; R. V.; C. E. Society, R. O. B. S. “Mac” Here is a man worth knowing. Mac possesses that which very few ' have—a strong character and a big heart. Everyone w ' ith whom he is associated knows him as “Friend.” With a smile and a helping hand for everyone, he is known all over the campus. Good luck, Mac, that smile and person¬ ality will never be forgotten. iijy edward McConnell Crockett, Texas Agriculture Age 21; Casual; R. V.; Decoration Com. Thanks¬ giving Hop, ’ p; Chairman Dec. Com. Final Ball and Thanksgiving Hop, ’20; Dec. Com. R. V. Hop, ’21. “Hike” Speaking of good old country boys who have the love of his friends at heart, you think of none other than Hike McConnell. When the spirit of “ole A. and M.” was in the balance, it was he who poured out words of his heart and caused the pendulum to fly to success. Payc 83 Page 8k BAROOK JOSEPH MASUDA Cairo, Egypt Agronomy Age 24; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Asst. Wrestling Coach; Vice-Pres. Cosmopolitan Club, ’20; Sec’y Cosmopolitan Club, , 2i; Agronomy Society. “Brooksy” “Ship me somewhere east of Suez, Where the best is like the worst. Where there ain’t no ten commandments, And a man can raise a thirst.” Masuda received his A. B. degree from Heidelberg University in Ohio, rendering him ineligible to test his great strength on the gridiron. CECIL LAWTON MATTHES . Laredo, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lieut. Co. B, S. C.; “ 7 ' ” Club; Wrest¬ ling “T”. “Bolshevik”—“Ce-Cile” The man who invests in taxicabs, has walking dates, and understands rabbit hunting is a man who will bear watching in this world. Will he ever become grown up? We believe California can age him in a few years—or even Waco ’phone calls. Page 85 I VERNER THOMAS MATTHEWS Eagle Lake, Texas Agriculture Age 22; Casual; Sec ' y-Treas. Colo. Chib; Secy- Treas. “ 7 ”’ Club; R. V.; Masonic Club; Capt. Baseball, ' 21. “Lefty” To say he is a good fellow and a real man, you have paid him a tribute of which few men are worthy. Lefty is a person who places friendship alongside kinship; one who journeys thru life and lives by the way; wins without bragging and loses with a smile. Fortunes will fall at his feet. THOMAS E. MAXSON Age 21; Casual; Band; lub; College Orchestra. Ft. Worth, Texas Civil Engineering C. E. Society; Ft. ffrorth Club; College “General” On the several band trips the General has made, he has always come out as the high shining social light of the band. In Mt. Pleasant, while on one of these trips, he made a speech to the high school students that predicted for him world fame as a , soap-box orator. General is a natural born musi¬ cian. ' V ? ; ■ .

Club; Dallas Club. “Sunshine” Sunshine’s smiling countenance and his happy spirit have always been a source of joy to everyone he meets. The friends he has made are many and true, and his path thru college has been character¬ ized by a high scholastic standing and a heart¬ felt interest in school affairs. V:fl81SfW m SSSUP’ kM ROBERT JEWELL MEITZEN San Antonio, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 21; Capt. Co. D, Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; R. V.; Corpus Christi Club; 1st Sgt. Co. F, ’20-21. “Bob” Meitzen, the shining “jewel” of Corpus Christi, came to College Station when quite a lad, but it was not until his Senior year that he blossomed forth on his twenty-first birthday with a whisker on both cheeks and one on his chin. Bring on the cat and milk. ; Page 86 jlmh m ' M mm ■ WALTER MORRIS MENKE Hempstead, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Vice-Pres. CaCOj Club; Sec’y-Treas. Allen Academy Club, ' 20-21; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Pres. Navasota Club, ’20. “Wooden”—“Menk”—“Foots” The changing of the wild stampede-breaker into an eminent animal husbandryman is an achieve¬ ment of which any faculty should be proud. Since having been robbed of his “gat,” Menk now spends most of his time in Bryan and is rapidly becoming a “he vamp.” Ij WILLIAM JOHN MILES Mineral fTells, Texas Civil Engineering Age 23; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; C. E. Society; Polo Ass’n; Masonic Club. “Bill”—“Sunshine” The crazy-water town has sent several of its by¬ products to A. and M. with the idea of improving the life of that community thru them. When Bill was a fish, so bright was his light that the darkness in Goodwin Hall could not be located. With the V pleasant greeting of a perpetual smile, he must have never known worry. MORRIS POWELL MIMS Cleburne, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; News Ed. Bt.; Vice-Pres. Johnson Co. Club; Secy Grubbs Club; Kand Club; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Polo Ass ' n; “M. P.” Some do and some don’t. M. P. didn’t—go in for Bryan Society until the beginning of his Senior year. The cause was a certain young lady in the Ex— but you know. He has turned from the path of his ideals and now travels the path leading to Bryan. Page 87 Page S8 EDMUND NOTESTINE Big Springs, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; West Texas Club; Kream and Kozv Klub; Masonic Club; Polo Ass’n. “Guts” Guts hails from the land of prairie pups and tequila, where they use eagles in the cuckcoo clocks and the canary birds sing bass. He is an expert at judging dairy cows and dairy maids. He has a fine sense of humor, and a smile that makes friends. His greatest fault is that he sleeps thru reveille. KARL OPREYSHEK New Braunsfels, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Art. Shk. Trp.; Tau Beta Pi. “Bullsheviki” Bullsheviki came from Austria in 1912 and landed in New Braunsfels. As a side issue, he studies Social and Political Science. Arguments on these subjects are his meat. At times he gets beyond self-control, and breaks into the Russian, Polish, and German languages. This, combined with his unusual line, won for him the name of “Bull¬ sheviki.” Paye 89 ROBERT E. L. PATILLO Greenville, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 26; Capt. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Pres. Greenville Club; All-Co. Football, ' id; Football Squad, ' 17, ’19. “Bob”—“Pat” Here is one who has been here since the year one, is an all-campus gripe, and a noted political boss. He is serious, hard working, and believed by a few to be honest; has a frank, open face, and William S. methods with the ladies; incidentally served two years in the Navy. W. P. PATTON Goss, Louisiana Agronomy Age 21, 2nd Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Pres. Louisiana Club; Vice-Pres. Agronomy Society. “Pat” Pat is a cool, level-headed, deliberate sort of a man. His sincerity of purpose makes him a friend to all with whom he comes in contact. He dis¬ played a convincing element of wisdom by trans¬ ferring from L. S. U. to A. and M. in 19x9. He plans to return to the swamps and practice his profession—we predict unrestrained success. Page 90 HARRY TOM PINSON Comanche, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 21; Capt. Co. C, Inf.; Football “ 7 ’”; R. V. “Harry”—“Pins” Harry left the cross-roads in West Texas and came to A. and M. in 1918, a wild and wooly Fish. He has a rather rambling nature as was shown so plainly by the way he rambled thru an orange dotted football field. He is taking A. H., but from his past success in ladder climbing, we know he would make a great Fire Chief. JOHN BUREN PORTER Bronchmlle, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 19; 1st Lieut. Co. B, Inf.; M. E. Society. “John Bull” Handicapped by the fact that he hails from a village 24 miles from a railroad, John Bull has made an enviable record. And despite the fact that he has a very wide reputation for prevarication, he has made many friends at A. and M. who will always wish for him the greatest success in life. m Page 01 Rosebud, Texas Agricultural Administration -Age 20; ist Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; R. V. “Homer”—“Doc” He’s not much in a crowd, but when you get him alone—. He makes C in Public Speaking, B in Economics, A in Mathematics, and double A (AA) in Rural Social Science. He’s one of the three Senior Ag. Administrators and he stands third in his section-—a good man, studiously speaking. CASPAR REAL Kerrville, Texas Agronomy Age 21; 2nd Lieut Co. C, Infantry. “Lefty” ' One day when Caspar was shaving, his image seemed to be using the razor with its leftjhand. This was too psychological for the shepherd, and so he immediately began using his left hand instead of his right. Hence the name “Lefty” is appropriate for him. The nation will soon hear more of Lefty with his genetics. Page 92 In our sojourn through life, we meet people, pass them by, and probably never think of them again; but here is one person that it is a pleasure to remem¬ ber. We cannot boast of a more conscientious boy than Boone. Through life, old boy, you will never want for friends, for you have always extended a helping hand in the time of need. Joy, honor, and success will be yours. Page 93 ELBERT WILLIAM ROGERS Sulphur Springs, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 20; Casual; A. 1 - E. E. “Bert” Bert, the pride of Sulphur Springs, and the only- lad that has weathered the storm of four years from this village, came to A. and M. in 1918. He is one of the few Electrical Engineers who works for what he gets. His great hobby is Horizontal Engineering. Nothing is too deep for him, since he spent a summer digging post holes. Although we hate to lose him, we know our loss is the world’s Page 9if HARRY M. SAUNDERS Greenville, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; Major Sig. Corps; Greenville Club; R. V.; Tau Beta Pi; A. I. E. E. “Harry”—“Sarg” Being a true friend, a hard worker, a loyal “farmer,” and a gentleman, Harry has made good. When you leave, Harry, you leave behind you a host of friends wishing you the success that should and will be yours. ROBERT H. SCALES San Antonio, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lieut. Art. Shk. Trp.; C. E. Society. “Bob”—“Crip”—“Red” Bob is one of the shining disciples of Dean Nagle, and the only difficulty he has encountered was in manipulating flux and lines of force. In his Junior year, many thought he had changed to a Chem. course. This mistaken idea developed from the fact that he had shown an affinity for fish chem¬ istry. Page 95 ’ll: k FRANK WALKER SCFIAEDEL Bay City, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; ist Lieut. Inf. Shk. Trp.; A. I. E. E.; Bay City Club. “Jug”—“Runt” Jug is just 6 ft. 4 ins. tall and weighs 265 pounds, a big man in heart, soul, and body. He intends to be an Electrical Engineer, but let us hope that he never neglects the art of dollar pitching, the sport in which he is excelled by none. ' May the world bow down before this man, even as a herd of Turks before the Sultan. QUENTIN B. SCHAEFER Schulenburg, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lieut. Co. A, Sig. C.; Staff Sgt., Co. A, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E. “Baron”— Q. Ball” When the Kaiser commanded, “Corporals report!”, there was one private in the rear rank missing. Immediately he sent out a tracer and found his nobleman riding the “Good Ship Foster” on the stormy sea of influenza down in Aggieland. He “wondered” how he could get his Baron back, A ERICH GEORGE SCHLATHER Cibolo, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; Capt. Adj. S. C. Bn.; Caldwell-Guadaloupe Go. Club; A. I. E. E. “Irik” Erich came to us in 1918 and chose to follow the trail blazed by Steinmetz. He has successfully survived four years of E. E., has climbed the college ladder of success, and is ready to step in and make Edison look like an amateur. His sunny disposition has made him the friend of everyone who has known him. HERBERT EDWARD SCHMIDT Galveston, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lieut. Co. A, S. C.; Galveston Club; A. I. E. E. “Schmittie” Thru his hot line and ready smile, Schmittie has made friends of all who know him. He has carried a hard course and has made good at it. We look for big things from you, Schmittie, when, after commencement, you face the problems of the world outside, for with your qualities, we feel sure that you will not want for many things. Page 96 7 Page 97 LEE A. SMITH Ft. Worth, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 23; 2nd Lieut. Art. Shk. Trp.; Fort Worth Club; A. I. E. E. “Smitty” Smitty came here from North Ft. Worth, and that accounts for the fact that he was able to survive the S. A. T. C. With as much pep as he has stored up, it is not difficult for us to understand why he was able to get up early in the morning and start for Sbisa Hall, and there render us such service. We thank you, Smitty, and may success be yours. V. FARR SMITH, JR. Belton, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 20; 1st Lieut. Bat. A, F. A.; Pres. Bell Co. Chib; M. E. Society; “ Y” Cabinet; “ T” Club; Foot¬ ball “T”; Baseball “ T”; Waco Club; R. V.; St. Andrew ' s Club; Tau Beta Pi. “Smitty”—“Van Buren” His optimistic temperament and friendly disposi¬ tion makes him one of the most popular students of the college. When you are down and out, just call on Smitty—he can give more cheer, and radiate more happiness than “Old SoP’ himself. Page 98 T. STAMPS, JR. Terrell, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; Sergt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E. ‘ ‘ General”—‘ F oggy ” General was brought up under the old regime, and has shown that he is made of the right kind of stuff by battling four years with an E. E. course and still retaining his sunny nature. When he leaves us this year to enter the broad field of Electrical Engineering, the best wishes of a host of friends go with him. Age 22; Band; Hollister Confere?ice, ’io, ’20; Pres. “F” Cab.; “T” Club; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Pres. Sen. Bible Class; Track “ T”; Corpus Christi Club. “De”—“D. D.” De is an athlete, a loyal friend, and a man who stands squarely for the highest type of Christian ideals. Although pos sessing a deep religious con¬ viction, De has the same true lovable disposition whether gazing at the moonlight with a fair lady, or caring for a misguided friend. Page 99 Page 100 Par e 101 Fort Worth, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; ist Lieut. Art. Shk. Trp.; Club; Chemical Club. “O. C.”—“Othie” O. C. is a man who, in all his extensive travelling, has found but one man who answered to the same given name. Although a native of “Cow Town,” O. C. has often wished during his senior year that Midlothian had the pleasure of numbering him as one of its few. But we hate to lose him, even to Midlothian. ERWIN FRITZ TIEMANN La Grange, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Casual; M. E. Society. “Erwinlasch”—“Spendthrift” Spendthrift drifted into Aggieland to make her famous. He has performed his duty. His theories along mechanical lines are very far advanced—in fact, they might be classed with those of Henry Ford. Erwinlasch has the most wonderful ap¬ proach of any student. Why shouldn’t he with the line he carries? Keep the good work up, boy; La Grange and A. and M. both will be proud of you some day. S55S5SSS Page 102 HYDER LIDELL TUCKER Blum, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; Casual; Drill Medal, Co. I, Inf., ’jq; “Tuck”—“Chump” Chump hails from Blum Center and holds the distinction of being the only son of the only family in|town. For three years he has held down the growling part in the “Cast Iron Quartet.” Chump, your absence will cause an empty place in our hearts and pool table in the “Y,” but may your cue be chalked with the powders of success. V ' . ANDREW JOLLY VAN TUYL Fort Worth, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 1st Lieut. Art. Shk. Trp.; C. E. Society; Ft- Worth Club. “Van”—“Tool” Tool is noted for his quick growth of misplaced eyebrows and his midnite orations on Governor Ross as a snake charmer. As a horseman, he showed his ability to certain Artillery officers, and was informed that he was at an equitation class and not at a rodeo. Page 103 DANIEL HOMER WEBSTER San Antonio, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 20; Capt. Inf. Shk. Trp.; A. I. E. E.; Antonio Club. ‘Dan” Expert rifleman and expert mandolin player, Dan has overcome obstacles as he met them. He is a born leader and it will always be a mystery why he drew a place in the shock troops. As his many friends follow his progress in after life, the least they can say is: “There is a man who will win.” R. A. WEISBRICH San Antonio, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 20; Capt. Co. C, Sig. Corps; Newman Club; San Antonio Club; A. I. E. E. “Rudi” If a modern Diogenes went forth with his flash¬ light, he would find here not only an honest man, but one possessing those rare qualifications of character and mind which will enable him to do his own thinking, no matter what the opinions of others may be. Bon voyage, Rudi, you cannot fail. Page 10J+ |S I I, — Mr, J FRANK T. WENDT Sherman, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 24; Capt. Inf. Shk. Trp.; Bus. Mgr. Long¬ horn; Bus. Mgr. Soph.

But a driving persistence on a bedrock foundation speaks the lie to his looks. Thinks mountains are made to run up and “Wonder Teams” to furnish exercise. HARRY WHEELDON Big Springs, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lieut. Shk. Trp.; Chem. Club; R.

He is to make his fortune from the field of Cliemis- , try and we predict “gobs” of it. HERBERT BERNLEY WILLARD Port Arthur, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 23; Capt. Inf. Shk. Trp.; R. V.; Chemical Club. “Brig”—“Herb” Brig, whose Subtle wit flows freely, is a gentleman, a scholar, and a good judge of liquor. The firm lines of his face are proof of his strong character and he has a personality which cuts deep into the heart of every man he meets. LOUIS H. WILLIAMS Henderson, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 24; Casual; Lieut. Inf. U. S. A., ’iS-’ 19; Glee Club, ’17-iS; Pres. Rusk-Nacogdoches Club. “Bill”—“L.

Louis, the boys here will miss you but will never forget you. Page 105 WILLIAM EDWARD WINN Dallas, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 19; 2nd Lieut. Co. A, Inf.; Football “T”, ’ “ 7 ”’ Club; R.

When we think of Tee, we think of a loyal friend, a true gentleman, and a man’s man, whose winning personality will con¬ tinue to win him friends wherever he may roam. JAMES JOHN WYLY, JR. Fort Worth, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; Capt. S. C. Staff; Recorder “Y” Cab.; Ft. Worth Club; A. I. E. E.; Tau Bela Pi. “J. J.”—“Willie”—“Jessie” Downfall? It started with the S. V. Conference and the C. I. A. girls. Little did we think our quiet Willie would return such a changed man. And how he did behave in New York’s playground, when he wasn’t in Camp “Jail.” If he makes as many A’s with the ladies as he does in his studies, he’ll win the best. Page 107 FRANCIS GRANT TAYLOR Waco, Texas Textile Engineering Age 22; Artillery; Ass ' t Yell Leader; Pres. Waco Club; T. E. Society. “Fats” This young genius stormed A. and M. in the fall of ' jS. Thruout his four years he has made many friends but never has he let his studies interfere with his college career. Though specializing in T. E., he makes a feature of the “Horizontal” phase and has four times been distinguished in that department. KHUBCHAND ISIRDAS THADANI Sind, India Agriculture Agr. Bombay Univ., 1910; Casual; Club; Agron. Society; Society of Age 30; B. Cosmopolitan Genetics. “K.

He obtained some new and remarkable results in his experiments along genetics, and his thesis for Master’s degree is to be published by the Texas Experiment Station in bulletin form. We are proud to have him as India’s representative to us. Page 108 Senior Class History XN THE fall of 1918 the largest Freshman class in the history of A. M. wandered into College Station. The Fish of T8 entered college under very abnormal conditions, as it was during the dark days of the S. A. T. C. How¬ ever, the darkness passed the following January and real college life began. We, the long neglected Fish, began to become familiar with “cashless days” and “Fishkillers,” and many other implements that would make a Freshman dream of a lovelier spot back home. The night of all nights in the career of a Freshman is the night of the Junior Banquet. The outwitted Sophomores gave us number twenty-three with instructions to let our consciences be our guides. We deviated from instructions slightly, for we did not wait for a guide; but our feet caught the meaning of twenty-three, and they began to take us to the more remote regions of Brazos County. The next fall a large percentage of our class returned to college. We were all glad to get back, for we were “Old Boys” then. It was our duty to give to the Freshmen the proper masculine education, as it was instilled into us during our Fish days that the spirit and traditions of A. M. must be preserved by us in our Sophomore year. If one should pause a moment to review the spirit that did prevail in 1919, there would be only one verdict: “We did not fail.” Our class spirit was more fully demonstrated in the days previous to the Junior Banquet. In spite of the most exacting plans of science and strategy, fate willed that misfortune should be our guest. When the turmoil of the battle had subsided our opponents marveled at the accomplishment of their goal, for they were expecting defeat against such odds. Practically every man in the school looks forward to the opportunity of being eligible to wear one of the official insignia of the college. It is not until our Junior year that we have the privilege for the first time, when we are allowed to wear the Junior Pin. When we became Juniors we were as proud of our pins as a little boy with his first pair of red-top boots. It has been the purpose of the class to excel in whatever it undertook. Our past records are above the average, but our Junior record outranks that of any other class. A very embarrassing incident—to both college officials and students—suddenly burst forth as if it had been an inactive volcano that had been brought back to life. A division of the ways had come. One way led to selfishness, pleasures, and adverse public opinion; the other led to denial, disappointments, and the preservation of A. M.’s good name. It is here that we showed by our actions that we loved our college. We chose the way of denial and disappointment. We also demon¬ strated the fact that the loyalty of the class is always above “Parr.” The fourth and last year of our college life is one in which we all take great pride. It is the year of hardest work, but also the one with- the greatest pleas¬ ures. Our achievements are the best, and no class can rival the works that we have accomplished. We have contributed a large number of letter-men to all branches of athletics. We have also witnessed numerous events that the class of ’22 is directly responsible for. In 1920 an equitable system of distributing the expenses of college activities was devised and put into effect through the influence of the class. It is our privilege to be the classmates of C.W. Thomas, who is the first man to win the Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University from A. M. We have also contributed a large part of the men who composed our various championship teams. The class of ’22 has produced athletes that have won nation-wide recogni¬ tion as being among the best. The name of “Cap” Murrah will long be remem¬ bered by gridiron fans—not only in the Southwest, but throughout the United States—as being the mainstay of the Aggie eleven that stopped the onslaught of the “Praying Colonels.” Our men who took the bulk of the Aggie offense were McMillan, Winn, Weir, and Beesley. The work of these men upset the “dope” so badly that it startled the entire football world. The cadets have had faith in the “Bible” for over three years. On January 2, 1922, Charley Moran “prayed” that his team might win from the invincible Aggies, but he did not act by the teachings of the “Bible.” In accordance with tradition, the class presented the college with a three- quarters life size painting of Dr. Bizzell as our class memorial. The presenta¬ tion speech was made by C. W. Thomas. Dean Nagle made a short talk upon the success of Dr. Bizzell’s administration. In behalf of the college, President Bizzell made a speech of acceptance, and he frequently referred to the support given him by the members of the class of ’22. The class also left a memento in its Freshman year—the only class in the history of the college to do so—by building the baseball grandstand on Kyle Field. In previous years other classes have left their gift to the college, but none of them have ever left two; so it is up to future classes to excel the records that have been set by the Class of ’22. For the third time A. M. has won the Southwestern Championship in basket ball. This year, as well as the two previous years, the feat was accom¬ plished by a team, four members of which are in our class. The passing of Ehlert, Williams, Dwyer, and Hartung from collegiate basket ball will be glad news for our opponents, for these men have formed the nucleus of Bible’s basket ball machines for the past three years. They have built up an impregnable defense and a fierce fighting offensive team that has always been a thorn in the sides of men who opposed them. The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas—the greatest military school in the United States—has given us our prestige which we shall use in making our way through the world. So each of us shall be the keepers of the good name of our Alma Mater, and remem ' ber the faculty who taught us that the essential thing in life is character and not knowledge.

Representative Student Council As many classes in the past have done, the Class of ’23 drifted into College Station from far and near, silently wondering at the happy reunions between the upper-classmen and secretly longing for a share of that friendship. Getting acquainted was the least of our worries tho, for it was in the good old days when “Bull Pens” were many, and woe unto the unlucky fish who knew not the name, native haunt, past history, and best girl of every “Old Boy.” Our first year of college life was a glorious success. We ushered in the new era following the S. A. T. C. regime with a brand of class spirit seldom equaled. Is there a member of the Class of ’23 who cannot remember the famous “airing out” of the fish after the hair-raising events attendant on the Junior Banquet, with the grand climax in the form of a wild “taking to the woods”? Such was the class spirit of our fish days. Scholarship during our freshman year was of the highest, and all former records were broken by our many diligent “book hounds.” The Fish Class of ’19 was also famous for its athletes, many of whom have since won the coveted “T.” Officers for the year 1919-20 were P. C. Tom, President; W. Riley, Vice-President; F. D. Graves, Secretary-Treasurer; H. C. Simon, Historian. The fall of 1920 found us firmly entrenched as Sophomores. Few of our classmates were missing and w ' e began at once to organize for a successful year. Class officers were elected with the ever-popular Sammie Sanders as President; R. M. Schofield, Secretary-Treasurer; T. E. Riggs, Vice-President; C. E. Olsen, Historian. Under their leadership we maintained our reputa¬ tion as leaders in all activities. The fish were being brought up in true A. M. style until a certain investigating committee stamped the heavy foot of disapproval on our training methods. Truly the reputation of the “old school” was at stake; so all forms of hazing were abolished and a new relationship between Sophomores and Freshmen sprang into being. As a consequence the Junior Banquet was temporarily abandoned, the classes not deeming it wise to risk criticism of the college spirit by enemies of the College. The year 1920-21 was a very successful one in athletics. The Southwestern Championship was won in Basket Ball and Track, while we were runner-up in Football, Baseball, and Wrestling. Sophomore athletes played a stellar role in these successes, the following men winning the “T”: “Puny” Wilson, “Sammie” Sanders, “Slimy” Megarity, Hailey, Heard, Harris, Davis, “Pete” Wilson, and Henderson. Our Junior year has started off with a series of successes that have startled the whole nation. The wonderful drubbing handed the “Wonder Team” of Texas University was only a stepping stone to our game with the “Praying Colonels” of Kentucky, which resulted in a 22-14 victory for the “Fighting Aggies.” January 2, 1922, will always be a red-letter day in Aggie history, for on that memorable day we annexed the Southern Championship from the proud conquerors of Harvard. Four Juniors established themselves in the A. M. Hall of Fame by their stellar performances during the past football season. They are “Puny” Wilson, “Sammie” Sanders, “Heinie” Weir, and “Buck” Buckner. Wilson and Sanders were unanimous choices for All- Southwestern berths, while the former was also named by many critics as an All-American end. The present year gives promise of being the best of our college career. Scholarship and class spirit are running high. We are strongly organized, and if there is a Junior Banquet this year, this oft repeated phrase will once more become the by-word of the fish: “Sack-holding Sophomores.” Page 111 Pace 112 8 Page 113 Page 114 Page 115 Page 116 Page 117 Page IIS Page 119 Page 120 I !■ II j i!

We arrived at College Station about the middle of September, 1920, glad to be in college and doubly glad that the college was A. and M. From the time of our arrival we were ever under the guiding hands of the upperclassmen who, with much patience and some (?) persuasion, en¬ deavored to relieve us of our “slime” and bring us up right. For that we are very thankful and justly proud because it will be remembered that “in that year all fish killers were burned;” and now, as we look back, we see that out Fish year was the happier and better year, and we are glad that it was our lot to be raised up in the old reliable way. The fall of 1920 marked the beginning of a most gloriously successful year for the college. With a higher registration figure than ever before and a smaller percentage of withdrawals, along with the high plane on which our studies were kept, a new mark was set in the annals of the college. The basket ball and track teams were conference champions that year, and in football and baseball we ranked among the first. In the early spring, when the Juniors became so distant and mysterious and the sophomores were so restless and inquisitive, we began to take those little evening strolls, keeping always on the alert for a kind dark spot that might shelter us on the eventful night of the banquet. But alas! Fate had ruled that disappointment should be ours, for at the last moment the banquet had to be called ' off. On account of an unusually hard year in general, several of our members could not come back last fall, but when the class was organized it was found that most of them had returned and would finish their courses. So with our pledges duly signed, we began the year that promises to be far the greatest in the history of the school. Again the registration record was broken, and still a higher standard of grades was set. The football team has won the championship of the South and Southwest, and the basket ball team closed the season by annexing their third consecutive conference championship. The prospects for winning baseball and track teams are very bright as this is written, and we are looking forward to winning the titles in the four major sports. And now, although we know that our record will not soar very high above that of any other second-year class, we feel that we have the right to relate our accomplishments, knowing full well that they would have been far greater had we been other than two-year men. Our class had a greater per;entage of distinguished students than any other class. A greater number of corporals have been chosen from this class than from any preceding two-year class, and the rest of us make excellent “bucks.” We honor, as our president, a man who has given much to the athletics of A. and M. He is a three-letter man, and was picked for center on the All-Southwestern Basket Ball Team. He is also captain-elect of next year’s basket ball team. After these two years of associations, we have learned to love one another, and it is not with the gladdest of hearts that we part. It is not our intentions to go out into life and astonish the world with our doings; neither do we expect to go forth with excuses and apologies for our shortcomings. But with our earnest desire to be clean men, we will do our best to overcome any obstacle that may confront us, ever striving to reflect credit on our Alma Mater.

Sophomore Class History S WRITERS have said for generations and generations, there are always certain subjects % to which the pen cannot do justice, and this Sophomore Class is certainly such a subject- The class comprises many varied types, all of which make a composite whole — a whole that is at once the wonder and envy of both upper-classmen and under-classmen, the pride of the faculty, and the symbol of perfection to the fair sex. These different types have been so blended as to form a body of students which is truly an ideal Sophomore Class. In September, 1920, the call of education went forth to the high school students of the country, and the response of the wise was prompt. There came boys to endanger the laurels of the ingenious Edison, brilliant Webster, computing Euclid, fighting Caesar, and even the greatest of Aggieland: Bizzell and Bible. With such material, what barrier was impassable, what pinnacle too high, what sea too rough, what feat was impossible? After the Christmas holidays, six hundred of the pride of Aggieland assembled to choose a man worthy to pilot the class through the stormy weeks of Fishdom. The following officers were elected: A. F. Mitchell of Cureo, President; E. K. Gill of Dallas, Vice-President; H. L. Maufrias of Austin, Secretary-Treasurer; and M. B. Barnett of McKinney, Historian. Many and varied were the activities of the class during the session ’20-’21, and may it be said that the class responded to every activity of the college with a determination which marks it as truly typical of A. M. All forms of school life found the Fish playing a prominent part. Among our classmates could be found the athlete who is to hold up the future laurels of the fighting Farmers; the journalist to keep up the high standard of our school publications; the tea-hound to represent the school at social functions; and above all, the student to maintain the high standard of learning fostered by our faculty. Probably the most notable series of events during the year was the hazing investigation conducted by the Senate Investigating Committee. During that turbulent period all school activities were curtailed in order that we might better co-operate with the Committee. Again the Freshman played an important part, as the whole investigation was centered about him. However, the “finny tribe” again showed that they had absorbed the spirit of Aggieland, and conducted themselves in a very creditable manner throughout. Soon afterward the year came to a close, and the survivors went home proud of the old Aggies—proud that he was a man ' s man—and thankful that destiny had guided him right in his search for knowledge. The fall of 1921 marked a new era in Aggieland, and from present indications an era that is to be highly successful. Already we have annexed a Southern Championship in football and a Southwestern Championship in basket ball, and there are two more in sight. The class of ' 24 contributed four letter-men to the team that put Texas A. M. on the map. They are: Miller, Johnson, Evans, and DuBois. We feel assured that our class will do its share in the coming athletic successes of the year. For the firs t time during the history of A. M. hazing was completely nil, and was an offense that meant farewell to the offender if caught. The sophomore class, though hard to convince that such action was best, finally saw the good in such a policy and settled down to the more peaceful pursuits of knowledge. Under the leadership of W. S. Nicholson of Houston as President, the year has been very successful. Other officers are: A. J. Evans of San Antonio, Vice-President; J. B. Ketterson of Houston, Secretary-Treasurer; and H. V. DuBois of Dallas, Historian. Yet all these achievements are of the past, and the future is the big problem to be solved. Our careers are hardly begun and we must make more serious preparation for the more tangible things of life. Although the past has been a glorious one, may it be only a dim forecast of the future glory of every member of the class of 1924. Freshman Class History M ' AROM all parts of the world a general unrest was reported; there was many a ■ I home circle broken; much preparation, a general migration and transformation. No, not war, only a few Freshmen (college men before leaving home) preparing to become a part of the most wonderful school in the world. These boys were going fron every section of the land and even the world to the A. and M. College of Texas. After a very lively trip they arrived and became full-fledged Fish, and then the action started. Theoretically speaking, the Fish of ’25 came in to A. and M. under a new regime — yes, hazing had been cut out, entirely blotted out. However, I am not saying anything along this line. The outlook was much brighter for a more comfortable seating arrangement for Freshmen, according to reports. It took only a few feet of the first trip from the depot to one of the dormitories for the class of ’25 to realize its proper relation to the college. The Fish nite came and the Fish were on their feet all the time. (It wasn’t com¬ fortable to be elsewhere.) The Y. M. C. A. (Fish Heaven) entertained in a very unique way and the program developed some silver-tongued orators, talented singers, and actors. The ’25 slimes till yet do not know how those two boxes of dried apples came to be there. On College Night the Fish first got a taste of the ole Aggie fighting spirit and an introduction to some of our illustrious leaders and models. We were like all outsiders then; we couldn’t savvy how they put “Farmers Fight” through in such a snappy fashion. But this was soon put away from our worries, for we soon found that it was the Aggie way of doing things. Not only did the Fish get in behind the old A. and M. spirit, but it produced some fine specimens of athletes. Coach Anderson said that he had the best aggregation of players that he had had in quite a few years. However, due to that phenomenal and un¬ explainable element usually called “luck,” our football team played few games and did not make an extraordinary record. They have a bunch of hard-working men who will furnish a wealth of material for Coach Bible to work with next year. The basket ball squad showed great strength, and promises well for the varsity in the next three years to come. In Battalion football several Fish stars were discovered that did not shine through the gloom during the regular football season. Athletically speaking, the year has been very successful. There has also been a fine religious spirit in the class of ’25, as shown by the reports of the Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist groups of Fish. The regular attendance at Sunday School and denominational services is no doubt a credit to the class and to the college. When after a few weeks of fellow suffering, rejoicing, and sacrificing, the forces of the class were unified and an election was held in which Fish Hunt from Dallas was elected President; Fish Sanguinet from Fort Worth, Sec’y-Treas.; Fish Dealy from Houston, Vice-President, and Fish Mims from Palestine, Historian. Whether into the chill air of the cold wintry night or the wilting heat of the sultry day, wh en the familiar and frequent calls for Fish sounded, there was always a response. When called upon for financial support, the class of ’25 never failed. When it came to moral support, the Fish were there with heart, soul, and lungs. They got the old Aggie pep and are fighting hard to uphold the traditions of the school. Freshman Class Abbey, G. E. Bodine, N. B. Clark, J. C. Dodson, L. Abercrombie, C. M. Bone, H. D. Clarke, J. L.

As the time approaches for me to relinquish my duties in the War Department in connection with the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, I feel impelled to express to the student body of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College my admiration for the high plane of efficiency to which they have brought their R. O. T. C. units. I have had the good fortune to spend three days at your institu¬ tion, observing at first hand the spirit in the college, the degree of military efficiency you have acquired, the character of the military education you receive, and the general tone of the institution. As well, I have seen you on the football field and in an Armistice Day Parade. I am convinced that the Texas A. M. not only gives its students excellent academic instruction but it inculcates in them those valuable attributes of character without which men in after life will not attain the highest degree of success. Not the least of the se is the spirit of service to country and the knowledge and training to effectively fulfill the obligations of citizenship in time of national emergency. All this would not be possible were it not for the character and capabilities of President Bizzell and his effective co-ordination of the R. O. T. C. with the college life.

Dickman made about the Infantry Camp after they had passed before him in final review. Of a total of 322 men enrolled in the camp, 146 were Texas Aggies. Sixteen prizes were offered b y the Denver mer¬ chants. A. M. was eligible to win eleven, and of the 11 nine of them were brought back to College Station. Week-end trips were made in army reconnaissance cars to Gol¬ den and Lookout Mountains, Estes Park and Colorado Springs. In addition to these interesting trips, many took the opportunity to make other interesting sights. One of the features of the entire camp was the weekly dances, was nothing less than a miniature R. V. Hop. Athletics soon became a back number on account of the Aggies winning everything. Oklahoma U. and the Oklahoma Aggies formed a base ball club that was defeated by the Maroon and White to the tune of 47 to 1. This was such an overwhelming victory that the silver loving cup was brought back to College Station as the trophy for the baseball championship. The Track and Field Meet was called off on account of rain—consisting of both water and points of the Aggie Teams. One of the big features of the field day at Ft. Logan was the rifle team match. The Texas Aggies easily won this shoot with a lead of 117 points, which entitled them to represent the Eighth Army Corps Area at National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. The team consisted of Map W. H. Morris, Capt. A. L. Tuttle, D. H. Webster, C.W. Thomas, R. W. Fouraker, F. W. Boriskie, J. A. David¬ son, H. K. Hockaday and P. C. Franke. In compet¬ ing against “All comers” the team, won ninth place, and in two matches placed above all other R. O. T. C. teams present. The inter-collegi¬ ate shoot is a new thing and it was strictly an experi¬ ment. It is probable that hereafter the R. O. T. C. teams will not have to com¬ pete against such teams as the Naval Academy at the National Matches. Parje 181 Field Artillery Camp Camp Knox, Ky., 1921 For the second time in as many years the Artillery cadets assembled at Camp Knox for a six weeks’ session of hard work and enjoyment. The men from Texas, after withstanding the many temptations offered en route, arrived on the scene of action on the morning of June 16. Battery D was composed of students from Cornell, University of Missouri and Texas A. M. Maj. L. R. Dougherty of A. M. was assisted by Captains D. S. Doggett of V. M. I., H. A. Cooney of Leland Stanford, and R. W. Daniels of Harvard in the command of the Battery. As is the rule wherever A. M. is represented, Battery D started off with a bang and kept on banging until camp was over. Whenever it was desired to demonstrate the proper method of executing any maneuver, Battery D was always called upon and we never failed to show ’em how to put the snap into drill. Probably the most hated part of our camp life was the reveille exercises taken from Walter Camp’s famous “Dirty Dozen”—“Growl, Gripe and Grunt.” The monotony of the daily routine was broken into by the many pleasant week-end trips. Lincoln’s Birthplace and Mammoth Cave were inspected thoroughly and the trips were enjoyed greatly. The boat ride up the Ohio, however, is an event long to be remembered. The soft moonlight, the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the boat, the beautiful Kentucky girls— well, you can imagine the rest! Dances at Officers’ Club and at the Hostess House were weekly features of grea t enjoyment to the “Social-Hounds” of the Camp. Battery D also won no small repute on the athletic field. Our baseball team consisted of eight A. M. men and one Missouri man, and we won the championship with an average of 1000%. Our boxers as well as our baseball team showed up in fine form. Three A. M. men and one Cornell man were the undisputed champions in their weights at the end of the camp. We were worked hard and fed well—that is, with a few exceptions. Capt. Wilson would insist upon giving us crude oil instead of “Reg.” Every minute of the day was taken up with some manner of instruction. Some of it we en¬ joyed and some of it we didn’t; sometimes we slept through a lecture, but more often we didn’t. All in all, it was an interesting six weeks. We would not have missed that camp for anything, but we are glad that we do not have to attend another one. Page 182 J v, . R. O. T. C. Cavalry Camp Monterey, California, iQ 2 i. The Cavalry Camp was situated in an ideal place. It was on a shelf on the side of a hill rising abruptly out of the water, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and about five minutes walk from Monterey, California, a town of 10,000 people and about a hundred miles south of San Francisco. Our work consisted chiefly of cavalry drill and rifle practice. We had to ride two miles every morning through dense clouds of dust to the drill grounds at Moss Beach. After coming back through this dust we were hardly recognizable. We spat mud for a week after we left camp. However, the drill was interesting and we could easily eat dirt for the pleasures we had. The last week we fired the regular army course for record at two, three, five and six hundred yard ranges. Several of our men qualified as expert riflemen, sharpshooters and marksmen. ‘ ' All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” is a slogan that we believe in. All the young belles for miles around turned out for our first dance, which was given in the Officers’ Club. After this the social problem was no longer a question. Several other dances were given in grand style at the Hotel Del Monte, one of the famous summer resorts in the West. Many of the boys found inspiration in Carmel-by-the-sea, a small village of artists and authors about five miles from camp. The booted and spurred Aggies were outnumbered by a great number of other institutions, but we were certainly there with the goods athletically. There wasn’t a great amount of athletics, but our men rode in ahead in about everything they entered. One game of baseball was played between Texas A. M. and Oregon, which was apparently a hard fought game from the looks of the score—9 to in favor of A. M. A picked team of the camp containing seven Aggies played an R. O. T. C. Motor Transport Corps Team from San Francisco and won by 5 to 4. In track, the final scores were Aggies 59, Oregon 39, Arizona 20 and N. Mexico S. Page 183 Camp Alfred Vail, N. J. Signal Ccrps, 1921 . Situated i n central New Jer¬ sey, within an houi and a half’s ride of New York City, Camp Alfred Vail was the point of de¬ barkation for the Signal Corps boys from Texas A. M. Fere they met, after a trip which had spread them over the Middle and Eastern United States. They were the farthest fro m home of all the R. C). T. C. stu¬ dents, but they w r ere not by any means the least in upholding the good name of A. M. The Aggies were assigned to the Fourth Company, together with the men from Yale and Carnegie Tech. It was through their interest and spirit of close co-operation that this company was always sup erre in athletics and military tactics. The training that the Farmers had received in Texas enabled them to demonstrate their superiority over the representatives of other schools. As New York was “just over the hill,” no explanation need be given where the Aggies spent their week-ends. They were in the brightest lights of The Great White Way. The Follies, Ladies’ Night and Sally were great favorites. The boys of the Lone Star State attended the weekly dances regularly, and they made the best of their opportunity to meet the girls of the “Effete East.” The only trouble is that some of them will never be forgiven for the wild two- gun lies and hair-ra ising stories they told to the innocent members of the gentler sex. SC - . : r i£m. ; vG y. . Sr . |$| j ? $ m V] The entire last week was devoted to field maneuvers in the wilds of middle New Jersey. Traveling on horseback, in trucks, and on foot, under full war time equipment, one hundred miles of telephone communications w r ere estab¬ lished. The wireless phone and telegraph also came in for an important part and complete communication for a division in attack was maintained. At night the problems that w ' ere developed during the day were discussed and explained. By the end of the fifth week each and every Aggie was longing for a sight of the folks dowm South. Good-byes w ere said to the newly made acquaintances and the trains w r ere boarded for God’s own country—TEXAS. l J age ISJf I The Civil Engineering Summer Camp Old Foster Hall assumed its annual summer duty as the rest- haven for the physically weary. The Civil Engineeis of 1922 and 1923 under the guiding light of the department broke into the practical field work by running lines in the day time and cats at night. For some it meant an initiation into the Civil Engineering profession. It taught the embryonic C. E.’s what stages they must pass through while they are winning their fame and of the world. Many humorous incidents occurred during those swiftly passing weeks. One of our number attempted to become friendly with the frogs, for we can think of no other reason why he should be in a muddy tank and surrounded by his amphibian brothers. Many men later admitted, however, that amicability with frogs was worth while, if a frog “feed” resulted from their succulent legs. Several parties were given during the three weeks of camp. Yes, some of the men would sit up all night entertaining their friends. It was acknowledged that the donors were good sports and that they were acceptable for any night session. Some dancing was indulged in and it was greatly enjoyed. One of the professorial staff woefully admitted that dancing all night and walking all day left one in a pitiable condition. “They are killing me,” he was heard to say speaking of his feet. There were also nightly attractions at the “Y” pool for those who wish to satisfy their aesthetic sense. Did you ever hear this? An automobile with side curtains up stopped in front of Foster Hall. It waited a few minutes; later two heads peered anxiously from behind the curtains, then a wild dash by two bare clad men for the protective portals of the hall. There was talk of someone having had the clothes appropriated while in the Fish Tank. Revenge was sweet. Towards the closing days, while the most of us were enjoying rest in the arms of Morpheus, or otherwise innocently engaged in a small weather¬ beaten country church, four embryonic engineers were determined to push on towards their goal, the completion of the College-Jones Bridge Drag. The task was completed in spite of many adversi¬ ties and they were unanimously voted a pass in C. E. 401. as the future engineers of the nation Page 185 Y. M. C. A.

Through its officers and com¬ mittees, the Y supervises and cares for movies and Lyceum attractions, co¬ operates with the religious leaders in Bible School and Sunday School Services, holds regular mid-week services, and does much community work. This year the Y entertained the Older Boys’ Conference at the college, which brought over five hundred boys from all parts of the state. Some of the class activities given by the Y are: 1. Welcome to Freshmen. 2. Parties for Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. 3. Y Party for Bachelors. 4. Fish Party. 5. New Year’s Watch Service. 6. Entertainment for Football Team. 7. Hallow’een Party. 8. Eight Lyceum attractions. 9. Over eighty picture shows. I I Page 186 Page 187 The Aggies at Hollister Eighteen A. M. men attended the Y. M. C. A. Conference at Hollister, Mo., during the summer of 1921. This conference, which is held each year, is composed of delegates from nearly every college and university in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It is here that the student delegates can hear vital expressions of Christian personality, leadership and service from some of the country’s foremost leaders. Sherwood Eddy, Harry N. Clarke and many others delivered forceful talks to the groups. Ideals were made real to the students and impressed upon them, in an unf orgetable way. Mingled in with the con¬ ference were the recreative diversions of the day. The camp was located in a beauti¬ ful spot in the Ozark Moun¬ tains, and its picturesque beauty imbued in all the air and spirit of the mountains. Hikes and boat trips w ere made to all parts of the sur¬ rounding country, and many w r ere the enjoyable incidents that happened on them. The trip to Marvel Cave through the Shepherd of the Hills Country wms one that wdll never be forgotten. In athletics the .delegations from Texas surpassed all others. The swimming meet was won by Texas with a total of three first places and a number of seconds to her credit. In baseball Texas defeated Oklahoma by the score of 10 to 1. However, in the finals, Missouri took the pennant by an exciting win. In Basket Ball, though, the Texans had their revenge. Missoni i was defen ted for the championship by the close score of 10 to 7. Volley Ball, Track and Tennis also found their place among the other sports. Other activities of the camp were Stunt Night and “The Chigger Bite.” For Stunt Night each delegation produced its best talent, and the merriment that was provoked by the entertainers would have done credit to a professional troupe. All in all, the conference was very much of a success, especially to the Texas students in attendance. For their interest, high standing in scholarship and merit they w r ere awarded the highest standing of any state represented.

Dear Friend: Aft- ' r your college days are over and you pick up this precious volume of recollections of those hap¬ py days spent in Aggisland and you look again upon the fa¬ miliar faces of those with whom you spent so many happy hours and shared so many pleasant experiences, let us hope that you will remember your debt to the grand old institu¬ tion that made these pleasant associations possible. Let us hope that you will not forget the band of loyal supporters of the Maroon and YThite who be¬ lieve they can pay this debt best through organized effort and that we may have your loyal support. Please remember, however, we are always ready to serve you, whether or not you are a member of this organization. It is our purpose to preserve that close contact between ex-students that they experienced in their student life and to keep alive in them that Fighting Aggie Spirit that is unsurpassed in all the world. May we have your support? Wishing you every possible success in life and assuring you that it is our sole purpose to be of ser¬ vice to you and oiir Alma Mater, we are fraternally yours President r III in fi m lii i 1 Qo All Aboard for Waco T LANS were laid down with great care for a wonderful time at Waco, and for the success of the Aggie team. Everybody got out that extra pair of breeches and had Charlie to press them uo for the big trip to “The City with a Soul.” The corps embarked for Waco at an early hour on the morning of No¬ vember 5. In a few hours’ time the corps arrived in Waco about eleven o’clock. The review took place immediately after detraining and the “Shock Troops,” who led the parade, dazzled the onlookers with their wonderful formations while passing up Austin Street. Rumors were out that the Cotton Palace manage¬ ment had made more extensive plans than ever before for our entertainment, and everyone found this to be true soon after he arrived at the Cotton Palace Grounds. The “eats” were fine and every student used up both meal tickets that were issued to him. The crowd was larger than ever before and the men in uniform were treated royally. The game was called at three o’clock and after an hour’s play the Aggies showed that they had the real “Farmers Fight.” The corps stayed behind their team every minute and in the last quarter the Aggies turned loose a sur¬ prise that meant a 14 to 3 defeat for the Bears. Between the halves the famous “Aggie T” was formed, but this time it was the Maroon and White “T,” and it “knocked ’em cold.” The followers of Bruin were a little sensitive, for they really thought that “The Ass We Made of Bailor” was cruel. The most important of all was the dance which was given in honor of A. M. students. Promptly at eight o’clock the Cotton Palace Orchestra began to furnish the jazz for the Aggies to “strut their stuff” with the pretty Baylor Co-eds. At 11:45 assembly blew and the Farmers had to leave their girls and march to the depot. The engineer blew his whistle on that “Mid¬ night Choo-Choo for Aggieland” at 12:45—the end of a perfect day, for the Bears had been defeated by the Farmers. Page 206 To Houston We Did Go VN NOVEMBER 11, just six days after the A. M. conquest of Waco, IJ two special trains carrying the cadet corps left College Station bound for Houston. One of the unique features of this trip was the various conveyances used for transportation purposes. To the railroad management, it was beyond them to see how so many cadets got to Houston before the game, for it was “Nix Frustra” to them. However, A. M. students have always been good managers. Never was there a time more appropriate for an invasion by the Aggies. Houston was jammed with thousands of people who had come to celebrate Armistice Day and to see the Aggie-Owl Football Game. When the corps arrived in Houston they were met by a few hundred other Aggies who had “managed” for their way down the previous night. The cadets finished the American Legion Parade by marching over the entire city of Houston, and then down the “Main Drag.” After the parade the corps Stacked Arms at the Humble Building where they were dismissed, and Houston was soon under the control of the khaki-clad Aggies. The trip was a duplicate of the one to Waco except that there was no calisthenics drill. Between the halves the corps formed its famous Maroon and White T for which we are now famous. The demonstration of the in¬ vincible Aggie Spirit was supreme, for the yells came as clear as the staccato reports of a machine gun. The game was the Farmers “off day” as they went into the game with costly injuries as the results of the Bruin fray in Waco on the preceding Saturday. The Rice team played their hardest game of the sea¬ son and they held “The Ole Team” to a 7-7-deadlock. The dance in the Rice Hotel was attended by a large number of Cadets. Everyone agreed that it was a very elaborate affair. The fascinating music and the charm of the pretty Houston girls added to the spice of the occasion. When all is taken into consideration, it was a great day and they were asking “How do they do it?” Page 207 Dramatics POURING the latter part of last year the Dramatic Club reached the highest } state of development to which it had ever attained. Under the careful and faithful leadership of Professor Brackett, it was able to present to the college community a series of plays that were not only attributes to the college, but furnished a wholesome and diversified form of amusement to the student body. Four three-act plays constituted the program last year and they were all presented during the second term. The first one, “Captain Lettarblair,” was of a more serious nature and although not ap¬ pealing to the comical side was a play of real dra¬ matic art. “Nothing but the Truth,” “Officer 666,” and “It Pays to Advertise” followed in rapid suc¬ cession and were of the comedy-drama type. From all aspects the activities of the club last year were a success and the season closed with everyone well pleased. The characters of Captain LettarblaU, Officer 666 and Ambrose Peale will not soon be forgotten after their depiction by such men as C. W. Thomas, P. C. Franke and J. W. Mayo. This year the club has been somewhat hindered by college regulations and other difficulties, and it has been unable to present as many plays as it would like. However, one trip has already been made to Calvert, where “It Pays to Advertise” was given with a high degree of success both from a dramatic and financial standpoint. It is being contemplated in the near future to give productions in both Bryan and Baylor Belton College. With these two trips in mind and looking forward to a good senior play, it can be said that the Dramatic Club has had a successful year in spite of the difficulties. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Brackett, the director, for his faithful efforts in behalf of dramatics at A. M.

Williams, Chairman The Barnyard Shuffle One of the best enjoyed informal dances of the year was given between terms. Sbisa Annex was very appropriately decorated with cows and chickens and other elements of the simple life. The girls all followed the latest decrees of fashion on the farm; the engineers donned their overalls and the “ag” stu¬ dents turned out in their best. It was truly a rustic affair. Favors of red stick candy, snuff and chewing” were passed out at the old town pump, and many novel features added to the fun and merriment. Dancing was carried on until the old rooster over in one corner sent his clarion cry out over the floor. The “T” Club Encounter The T Club entertained with its annual dance on the evening of March 3rd. The manner in which this dance was planned and conducted proved conclusively that our athletes have talent in other fields than Kyle.” Those Southern Football Champions” blankets would make any hall look good, and those, coupled with the Southwestern Basket Ball Championship that was annexed that night, made everything look the best. A delightful buffet luncheon was served to the two hundred guests who enjoyed the hos¬ pitality of the T men. A feature of the dance was the presence of such a large number of out-of-town feminine friends. Corps Dances The mainstay of our social life throughout the year was the Saturday nite Corps Dance. On these memorable occasions senior, junior, sophomore and fish to the tune of two hundred or more all vied with each other in rushing the forty Bryan girls present. Needless to say, the clap-ins” were many, but they furnished that necessity of all dances, pep.” The Aggieland Jazz Orchestra rendered the music for these affairs and was a main factor in their popularity. Junior-Senior Hops About once a month the upperclassmen came to the front with a dance all their own.” Though the number of stags was limited, the dances were not lacking in pep in any manner and many good times were had at these Junior- Senior Toddles. The Final Ball One of the best dances of the year comes on the eve of Commencement. This is the Final Ball given by the student body in honor of the departing seniors. Slim Conley’s talented musicians furnished the jazz for last year’s ball and it was sole” inspiring. Over four-hundred of the best looking drags from Texas and adjoining states had been imported for the occasion and the entire dance was a fitting farewell to the senior class. A good orchestra has been obtained for this year’s dance and the men in charge promise a gala affair. Page 238 The International Live Stock Judging Team Our International Team, composed of Coach W. L. Stangel, H. L. Atkins, V. J. Bennett, J. T. Carlisle, F. Hale, J. H. Jones and W. L. Knapp, left for Chi¬ cago on the twelfth of last November. The team made several stops en route so as to put on the finishing touches. Three days were spent at the University of Kansas judging various classes of live stock. Herefords were judged at the Royal Show in Kansas City and a few near-by farms were visited. Some very valuable classes were placed at the University of Missouri. From Mis¬ souri the team went to the Harding Shorthorn Farm at Waukesha, Wis , where they spent two days judging some very beautiful cattle. Mr. Dunham of Wayne, 111., received the team very royally and allowed them the use of his famous Percheron horses. The team finished its tour at the University of Illinois and on the twenty-fifth the gang” was in Chicago all set for the contest. Twenty-one teams entered the contest, but no one was doping” out the winner, as is the case in athletics. None worked harder than the Texas Aggies, who had nothing but the old A. M. fight to spur them on. The contest was over at eight o’clock that night. Later Ohio was announced to be the winner. The team was disappointed in not bringing home the Bronze Bull, but we are proud of them for they are rightfully one of the strongest aggregations that has ever represented the Lone Star State. The Bull still remains as much the prop¬ erty of Texas A. M. as before, as only Purdue has an even fifty-fifty chance with us; so the Team of 1921” leaves it to the Team of 1922” to bring back the trophy that is so dear to the hearts of everyone in Aggieland. Page 239 The Junior Live Stock Judging Team of 1920-21 Every spring A. M. sends a live stock judging team from the Junior ( lass to enter the students’ competitive judging contests at the Ft. Worth Fat Stock Show and the Southwestern Live Stock Show at Oklahoma City. Swift Company offer a beautiful silver loving cup to the team that wins the contest three consecutive times at Ft. Worth. Texas went into the fray facing Oklahoma, who had won the cup twice, while our name was on it only once. Coach Stangel sent Carlisle, Dinwiddie, Hale, Knapp and Love into the fight at Ft. Worth with orders to keep Oklahoma from winning. The team fought their way to victory, and the adding machines were choked down cal¬ culating the 160-point lead. The members of the Junior Team will always remember March 7, 1921; for that’s the day they snatched Swift’s beautiful trophy from Oklahoma A. M. The Southwestern Live Stock Exhibition was held at Oklahoma City the following week; so the team took advantage of the intervening time by judging the show animals at Ft. Worth. The only change in the personnel of the Ok¬ lahoma Team was that W. S. Foster took Dinwiddie’s place. All of the men worked as hard in Oklahoma as they did in Ft. Worth, but fate decreed that the same team should not win both contests; so the “Sooners” took the “Cush” at Oklahoma City, even if Texas men did win first and second high honors.

I ' m r Z, pi m P n M e N! (i H R! N The T-Club of A. and M. College The T-Club at Texas A. M. is a group composed of all the men who have made their letters in foot¬ ball, track, tennis, baseball, wrest¬ ling and basketball. Every man automatically becomes a member as soon as he earns his letter, and his active participation in the privileges of the club continues throughout his college career. There is no other organization on the campus of so selec.t a member¬ ship, and there never will be one to which the average cadet would rather belong. Merely the fact that a man is on the T-Club list signifies, to all who know, that he is a man’s man, that he can fight to the last ditch and then turn around upon being defeated and start at the .beginning again, that on the athletic side he has made his mark in college. It actually is an organization which the letter-men themselves will remember the longest and which stands highest in favor among the Aggies. As would be expected, its membership is extremely versatile in one sense of the word. The slender distance man of the track squad stands side by side with the husky guard of the football line, and they see in each other that re¬ flection of themselves of courage, ability and dogged perseverance which has invariably won victories for the Aggies when all seemed to be lost. The club was originally formed in about the year One—ages before even Catfish Goodman ever heard of A. M. From the very first it was a powerful organization. Since its members were generally the leaders among the other men, the murmurings of the club were heard on all sides with more than usual consideration. Pat Dwyer, President The T-Club annually gives a dance in the mess-hall annex. The hall is beautifully decorated and the music is always of the best. Since the attendance is strictly limited, the floor is never too crowded. This year, as in all other years, the T-Club dance was one of the most enjoyable festivities of the entire season.

None dared to hope for too much. Plainly there was not the wealth of ex¬ perienced players that had characterized former Aggie teams. Apparently most of the old players who returned were linemen. Murrah, Carruthers and Dieterich were all that could be desired in the center portion of the line while Wilson and Smith were rated as the best bets among the ends. In the backfield our field general, Morris, had Weir and the diminutive Sanders as halves. To supplement this there was an array of unproved material from the last year’s Freshman and all-company teams. It was a recognized fact that the center, one tackle, the fullback and such other m.en as would be needed were yet to be developed. It is when we consider this meager number of experi¬ enced men that we can admire the most the spirit of fight and determination that, along with Bible’s coaching, did such wonders for Texas A. M. 5. M. U. finds our line impregnable The first game of the season was played against Howard Payne at College Station. The cadet corps turned out en masse to see what Coach Bible had accomplished in the coaching line. Within the first ten minutes the Farmers— handicapped by the absence of Weir, Murrah and the promising Buckner— had placed the ball across the line for the first touchdown of the season. The third quarter witnessed another touchdown for the Aggies. In the latter part of the fourth Howard Payne completed a twenty-yard pass and rushed across the goal line for the first touchdown that had been scored on the local Grounds by an opposing team since A. M. was defeated by the Mississippi Aggies six years ago. One of the most memorable records ever held by any college was broken. The game ended with the Farmers leading by a score of 14 to 7. This game, although relatively unimportant as football games go, was extremely important in that it demonstrated the ability of some of the new men who were to show up to such good advantage later in the season. The next game was played with S. M. U. at what was later to be called the Dixie Stadium—the location of Center’s downfall. Page 362 Baylor gave A. M. a terrific fight. True to all expectations, Coach Rix did have a good team, a team which was, in fact, a credit to S. M. U.; but even though our playing was not up to normal, the Mustangs were swamped under. The Aggie line was just beginning to develop into a stone wall against which the Mustangs were powerless. The game ended with the Farmers possessing ten points, as compared to which Coach Rix was unable to even score. When all is told, the season was one of many surprises. The next game justly served its part in placing the season under this category. For the first time in seven years the Aggies were forced to take the little end of the annual L. S. U. game. From a standpoint of pure football, the game was much more even than the score would indicate. The Aggies rushed the Louisiana boys off of their feet at almost all stages of the game but were unable to exhibit the cus¬ tomary punch in the pinches of the game. It was a single fluke, nevertheless, that allowed victory to go in the opposite direction. The first half ended score¬ less. Neither team showed any great offensive strength. Punting was frequent and Sanders proved to be fully as good as the brilliant Ives who, as a punter, is famous throughout the South. The third quarter was practically a repetition of the first two with the Farmers fighting desper¬ ately but not nearly up to • s 1 •• ■ W- Captain Weir Even the girls play football at A. M. Capt.-Elect Wilson Page 363 usual form. In the fourth quarter, McFarland recov¬ ered his own fumble and raced sixty yards for the lone touchdown of the game. L. S. U. failed to kick goal and the game ended six to nothing, the single defeat of the entire year. The Student Body, as loyal in defeat as in vic¬ tory, carried the returning eleven up to the campus on their shoulders. The players said nothing, but the next game showed the appreciation which they felt for this whole-hearted support. Arizona jour¬ neyed to Aggieland and was decisively defeated by the score of 17 to 13. The thirteen points made by the denizens of Arizona represented two forward passes which the Aggies failed to block. The first football team A. M. ever had With five thousand fans to witness their deeds, the Texas Farmers blasted all hopes which Oklahoma A. M. had for Southwestern supremacy. Coach Bible opened up with a dazzling running attack that completely bewildered the lads from the adjacent state. Eagle-eyed scouts, representing future opponents, sat in the grandstands in open-mouthed astonishment as the game spread out in an almost endless series of simple yet perplexing plays, each gaining ground for the Aggies with a regularity that spelled defeat for the Oklahomans before the game was half over. Pinson and Sanders were the most brilliant backs of the day, although Weaver of Oklahoma played a wonderful game. With such a brilliant backfield and so aggressive a line it is no wonder that the game was called when the score was 23 to 7 in favor of the Farmers. The game was really called on account of darkness, but this calling saved the Oklahomans from having another inevitable touchdown scored against them. i Rice off tackle By this time the team was rapidly rounding into its final season form. The line was becoming almost impregnable and the new material in the back- field had turned out even better than most critics had expected. The coaching of Bible and Rothgeb, the long hours of practice, and the fight and sacrifice on the part of the players showed their effects in every play. It was well that they should for the next game was to be with the Baylor Bears at Waco. Coach Bridges had developed a combination which he thought would sweep the Con¬ ference. Treacherous formations and trick plays were his specialty. In addi¬ tion, the game was to be played on the Bruins’ home grounds—a fact which he also counted on to help in the fight. In the early part of the game the Bears, led by the redoubtable Bradshaw, seemed to trouble the Farmers considerably. Early in the first quarter Brad¬ shaw made a field goal from a difficult angle—a thing which gave no one any great concern at the time, but as two more quarters passed without any additional scoring on either side, these three points loomed as large as a mountain. Time passed swiftly. The last quarter was half gone. Down in its quarter section the Aggie supporters literally pleaded with the team to come through. The picturesque demonstrations of Sky Rocket and Rickety Rock were forgotten. In their stead the battle words of Farmers Fight rang out repeatedly. With an ability born of desperation, McMillan unfolded a series of plays that turned the tide. A combination of passes and short bucks put the ball in Baylor territory. A forward pass from Miller to Wilson netted thirty-five yards and ' placed the ball close enough for McMillan to take it over on the very next play. Within three minutes Sanders gathered in the ball from a punt, tucked it under his arm, and after making one of the most sensational broken field runs of the season carried it over for the second touchdown of the day. Baylor’s hopes vanished as the fabulous tents of the Arabs. The three points that had seemed so large for three and a half quarters now appeared insignificant in the light of the two big joy-giving touchdowns made by the Farmers. Page 365 The seventh point against Rice Not for nothing were the Rice scouts sitting in the grandstands at the Baylor game. Practically the entire Owl team came up to see the Farmers in action and no detail escaped their watchful eyes. The memories they carried back to Houston with them furnished the incentive for redoubling their efforts to strengthen themselves in every conceivable phase of the game. The approaching Aggie-Rice conflict gave promise of becoming one of the most bitter of the entire season. It has become a by-word at A. M. that the Aggies play their weakest game against the Owls. True to tradition, this game came near to resulting in a defeat for the Farmers. Rice gained three times as much ground as A. M., but the Farmers buckled down in the pinches and managed to save the day. The Aggies rolled up their sole touchdown in the first quarter when the ball was fumbled as it was snapped back from the Owl center. A corresponding Rice touchdown came in the third quarter as a direct result of a series of passes and off-tackle bucks. No more scoring was done. When the final whistle blew the score was still 7 to 7—a tribute to the wonderful game the Owls played that day. McGee and the noted Eddie Dwyer were out of the game; but, nevertheless, Kennedy, Chambers and Schwartz for the Owls were more than good. Another season had witnessed A. M. staging her worst game against Rice, and for the first time since 1916 the Farmers were scored upon by the Owls. The game with Rice ended that series of games that always lead up to that great classic of the year—the game which if lost marks an unsuccessful season and if won spells success for the year despite the results of the other games. In other words, the next game was to be with Texas University. Bible took his men into secret practice. The results of this practice are shown by what the team accomplished in the next two games. Some have said that the Texas A. M. eleven improved a hundred per cent between the Texas and the Rice games. Be that as it may be, the opinion of others is that it just learned to fight the harder and to make the bigger sacrifice for the success of the school as a whole. Page 366 W The Wonder Team Wonders How It Happened A’T ' HE TEXAS LONGHORNS, heralded far and near as the “Wonder Team” of the season, invaded College Station intent upon humbling the Aggies on Kyle Field. For the fourth time in seven years the Maroon and White was called upon to defend its goal line against the powerful onslaughts of the University eleven. Fifteen thousand fans were there, representing lovers of the game from every section of the Southwest, representing gridiron captains and former stars whose records date back as far as 1894, and representing, most of all, sixteen hundred students and hundreds of alumni who would back the team against any odds whatsoever. A. M. kicks off to Texas Against as great odds as a Farmer eleven ever fought, the proteges of Bible and Rothgeb put up a fight that will go down in history as one of the most memorable battles ever fought on any gridiron. The Farmers worked not for personal honor. They fought for the glory of A. M., turned back the waves of Texas stars with frenzied zeal, heroically determined to protect the name and tradition that have become an inseparable part of Kyle Field. Coach Bible had closed the gates to outsiders several days before the clash and taken the team into secret practice. A double system of tactics was evolved, one based upon the master tactician, Morris, who was to go in the first half and feel out the weakness of the Longhorns. McMillan, the driving offensive star, was then to take the team through a brilliantly planned offensive program to the Orange and White goal posts. All efforts to open up on the offensive in the first half, however, were smothered by a discouraging series of fumbles and bad breaks of the game. McMillan sat on the side lines, eating his heart away to be in the fight. The second half was characterized by a decided Aggie onslaught in the third quarter. The Longhorn line was pierced apparently at will. Time and again successful drives were made through the mighty Swenson, upon whom the Page 367 Texas bunch based its hopes for many of its best plays. A pass to Wilson fell short, and in the next play a fumble gave the ball to the Longhorns. m V % L d 1H li N {?! 11. c . L___—______ Up to this time neither team had scored. The aggregation of high calibre Texas stars, poorly organized and hardly well coached, went into the fourth quarter determined upon an Orange and White victory. The Farmer com¬ bination of formerly green, inter-company men with a few real stars, all superbly coached by one of the best coaches in the United States, were equally determined that Texas University would never defeat the Aggies on Kyle Field. “Rats” Watson took charge of the Longhorns and new hope seemed to be instilled into them. A forward pass netted forty yards and put them in a position where a touchdown seemed to be imminent. Back in the grandstands the old Cadet Corps was pleading with the team. Clear and resonant came the battle yell of FARMERS FIGHT. Here and there a tear rolled down the swathy cheeks of the Aggie players as they prepared to give all in one last defense. Twoline plunges gave the Longhorns three yards. A dive by Domingues was hurled back without a gain. Watson tried a forward pass that failed almost before it was attempted and the ball went over. Sanders punted to the middle of the held and as the fighting strains of Wildcat were heard the A. M. grandstands went wild over the averted threat. Both sides fought desperately to score, but when the final whistle signalled the end of the great struggle the score was still nothing to nothing. The Aggies make seven yards through the Longhorns To pick the individual stars of the game would be almost unfair. Each played a game that will be remembered for years. On the University side there were none who played better than McCullough. Cap Murrah, the huge Aggie guard on offensive and center on defensive, was literally a raging bull. Here, there and everywhere he broke up plays with his demon-like charges. His cool judgment and fighting spirit seemed to carry him into the thick of every clash. Wilson, at end, played a flawless game and made miserable the two backfield men whom the Longhorns finally stationed to stop him. Captain Weir played the best game of his career and was, incidentally, the most con¬ sistent ground-gainer on the squad. After the Texas game the team was disbanded for a few weeks. Plans were made, however, for the Southwestern champions to play a game with one of the big Eastern colleges. Texas Uffiversity and A. M. were both undefeated as far as Conference games were concerned, but the University had not played enough to win the title so it went by common consent to A. M. Page 368 The Farmers Defeat the Praying Colonels With Buckner out of the game from the start on account of injuries, and Sanders, Weir and Morris disabled during the game, the Texas Aggies defeated the widely-heralded Center eleven by a score of 22 to 14. “Tiny” Maxwell, one of the big Eastern officials and one of the very keenest critics of the game in the entire country, said that “if there ever was a team that played perfect football it was Texas A. M. Center may have been off color due to the long trip and the long season, but the Danville men would have had just as hard a fight if they had been in top form. The Texas Aggies played unbeatable football.” The defensive playing of the Farmers has been a by-word in the Southwest for years. In the Center game one touchdown was made on an intercepted pass and the other two on sheer offensive play against the same men that Harvard was unable to even score upon. The Aggie eleven composed a team that was good at all phases of the game. Passing, punting, driving and defense were all accomplished with equal skill. Center was never able to fool the Farmers as to the position of the ball. The Texas boys invariably knew exactly where it was, and they were always there to tackle the man who had it. Just as in the Texas Classic, the Farmers played for the glory of A. M. They knew the football game and, as Mr. Bible says, they had the right “mental attitude.” The Farmers went into the game with the fighting spirit Winn sees good meat in Tanner Page 460 24 Center masses on left tackle in their very souls. The odds were considered to be against them, but they fought against the odds and won. It is said that the Terns Aggies accomplished the impossible. With the mental attitude that they carried into this game it would have been impossible to have been defeated. A lack of experienced men had been a handicap from the very first of the season. The initial game of the year was won on pure fight, and that spirit of battle has never been lost. It merely increased continuously and reached the peak in the Texas Classic. As far as fighting is concerned, the Center fray is a second Longhorn battle. Both will go down in gridiron histor as a fitting climax to the season in which the Farmers fought all the harder as things looked the darkest and in which, through their persistence, they eventually made one of the most brilliant records that any A. M. team has ever made. Individual honors were many and high. Evans, Wilson, Murrah and Miller w r ere mentioned as being in the All-American class. Referee Quigley picked “Puny” Wilson as the ideal man to captain the mythical eleven. No All- American list has been published this year, but A. M. does not think it too much to say that if Walter Camp had been at Dallas on January 2, instead of in California, the roll of the eleven peers would have been formulated as in the past. Page 370 A brick wall on the one-yard line of the Aggies MILLER It is sometimes the good fortune of some one man to be especially adept at some one phase of football. It is less seldom that this same man will be unusually good at the other components of the game. Aliller is a marvel when it comes to forward passing and absolutely a peer at all other phases of backfield work. Although this is his first year on the squad, he gives every appearance of being a second Hig¬ ginbotham. His 72-yard punt in the Arizona game was one of the features of the day. His forward pass to Wilson in the Baylor game broke the morale of the Baylor Bears. Another year’s work should reveal a positive football genius. EVANS Another of the men who were mentioned for All-American honors was Jack Evans of San Antonio. His work was of high standard throughout the year, but it was in the Texas and Center games that he showed up to such good advantage. Tall, rangy and powerfully built, Evans has great future possibilities. A sure, fast and hard tackier, speedy on his feet, proficient at receiving the pass, and always well down under punts, Evans could hardly be any¬ thing other than a great wingman. He has two more years with the Maroon and White. McMillan The history of the football season this year is an inspiration not only because of the success of the team as a whole, but also because of the triumph of the individuals through their hard work ard their unbroken fighting spirit that would not let them quit when things looked the darkest. An example is Bill McMillan. After playing three years on the reserves he stepped forward this year and claimed his own. Injuries kept him out of many of the games, but his line plunging in the Arizona game and his field generalship in the Baylor game will long be remembered. WINN Ted Winn is another member of the Aggie line who came into prominence through the competition of inter-company games. Rather light for the position of tackle, Winn makes up for the difference by his fighting qualities. Although it may be out of place to mention it here, he is one of the very few athletes who are also in the very first quarter of their class in the scholastic line. He fights side by side with the versatile Murrah. Although every one of his opponents outweighed him this year, he stood the acid test and came through fighting. Love of battle gave him his place and fight kept it for him. Page 371 BUCKNER When things were appearing somewhat gloomy in September, the prospects of Buckner was one source of joy to Aggie fans. Injuries have since been responsible for his watching many games from the sidelines, but in the Thanksgiving game he came through with the best. A dashing, plunging fullback of the Mahan typs, he has the ability to win an All- Southwestern berth next year. Like Mahan, he can find a hole and plunge through it where others would think that no hole existed at all. A broken leg prevented his participation in the big Center game, but he will be back with us again next year to help make football history for old A. M. SMITH Competing at a time when ends were ex¬ ceptionally good and rather numerous, “Van Buren” couldn’t help but earn a regular place on the squad at right end. Injuries have kept him out of many games. His work in those in which he did play, however, show that he is indeed a worthy successor to the Gouger of former days. Opponents found, in making end runs, that “Smittie,” instead of being lured in by their skillful tactics, was playing the game with an old head—waiting to tackle the man with the ball. This year is the one in which he hangs up his togs for the last time. DU BOIS One of the surprises of the season was the record made by “Crack” Du Bois at center. Light and—as far as collegiate work is con¬ cerned—inexperienced though he was, Du Bois developed into one of the most accurate and valuable centers in the Conference. His work against the heavy Kirk of Baylor and the mighty Swenson of Texas were the talk of the season. Although he seemed small when wedged in be¬ tween Dieterich and Murrah, it is a matter of record that very little ground was gained through the center portion of our line this season. Crack has two more years in which to develop under Bible’s tutelage. WENDT Playing three years on the varsity squad, giving his best at all times, and fighting for a chance to represent A. M. regularly on the gridiron, “Tuffy” Wendt reached his desired aim this year. In more than one game his consistent work in the line was an encouraging factor when things looked the darkest for the Aggies. His work in the Texas game was a thorn in the side of Watson. “Tuffy” graduates this year, and as he goes out the school pays tribute to the man whose dogged tenacity at last won him a regular’s place on the squad. Page 372 BEESLEY As in the case of McMillan, the tale of Beesley’s record is a story of the success that is won through a dogged determination to see the thing through. Beesley has played three years on the reserves, but this year he was given his chance. His work in the Turkey Day game against McCullough was remarkable. It was in the Center game, however, that he came into his own. Playing the game like the veteran that he is, returning punts through a broken field and smashing through the line on the offense were the features of his game that day. It is hoped that he will return next year to give a further example of his natural fighting abilities. JOHNSON It is not exactly certain where Johnson obtained the nickname of “Bull,” but his tactics in charging the line would suggest nothing more than the onset of a raging gentleman of the cow family. “Bull” runs low and seldom goes to the trouble to side-step. He merely ducks his head and rips into any opposition that may be in the way of his advance. His stellar work in the Center game was mentioned afterward by Mr. Quigley, the big Eastern referee. It is said that Johnson will return next year; and, if he does, A. M. will be fortunate, for he is of the type that will improve with training. COACH C. J. ROTHGEB On the day following the Texas classic the northbound H. T. C. carried with it a man whom we have all learned to love and respect. It carried Coach Rothgeb, the brilliant yet dogged line coach of football and the best track coach we have ever had. Mr. Rothgeb has found it necessary to give all of his attention to his manufacturing plant, but it will be many, many years before his name and the services he performed for A. M. will be forgotten. He saw the wonderful Texas game, but he was not on hand to see the line he had coached cover itself with glory in the game with the Praying Colonels. COACH D. X. BIBLE Where good coaching is appreciated, D. X. Bible is a peer. His first year with the varsity squad marked a 273 to record for A. M. Mr. Bible was overseas in 1918, but in 1919 he returned and piled up a 275 to record. This year, with what was, with a few exceptions, a bunch of green inter-company men, he made the name of A. M. known from coast to coast. Coaches in every part of the United States recognize his ability. Incidentally, it gives a feeling of security to every man with an A. M. heart to know that he will be with us again next year. Page 373. MURRAH It will be next to impossible to convince any one who saw the Texas and Center games that Cap Murrah is not one of the reasons why Walter Camp did not pick an All-American eleven this year. Playing his fourth and last year for the Maroon and White, Cap made a record which made him known throughout the South. Some critics say that he is the greatest guard that has been produced in the Southwest during this decade. After serving three years under Mr. Bible, Murrah knows football as it should be played. He has the strength, speed and cool, discerning judgment that are seldom seen all in one man. Two hundred and five pounds of bone and muscle, guided by that experienced football head, have performed such deeds that in his entire four years he has never met his equal. PINSON One of the greatest sorrows of football enthusiasts at Aggieland is the fact that Harry Pinson waited until his senior year to report for the varsity squad. He has the plunging, driving attack which, seasoned with experience, is such a prime factor in the production of good backs. Injuries have hindered him somewhat this year, but his inherent ability has stood the test. Pinson ' s crashing style of play first came into general notice during the inter-company games of last year. If he returns for another year on the varsity squad, his experience and training this year will make him one of the strongest runners-up in the Southwest for All- Conference honors. KEEN “Tiny” Keen, the towering Aggie Giant, made his first appearance in Farmer athletics two years ago. Circumstances made it neces¬ sary for him to miss one year, but he is back now, stronger than ever, with certain prospects of making three varsity letters in the one scho¬ lastic year. Tiny has the strength of a Missouri mule and the nerve of a Swiss Mountain-climber, but he sometimes feels that with his huge bulk he is liable to hurt some sm aller man. When he loses this feeling there is no limit to the height that he may attain in the football world. Page 37J, WEIR For anything worth while to be accoir plished some one must pay the price. The brilliant broken-field runner gains his ability not from months but years of practice. A winning team represents almost ages of hardships and sacri¬ fices. Some one has to pay the price. There was no one who paid more for the wonderful record this year than Captain Weir. Injury after injury kept him out of the game after he had put his heart and soul into the practices. The only game of the season in which he could actually participate on even terms was the Texas Classic—the game in which he was the most consistent ground-gainer on the squad. This year finishes Heinie’s athletic career, which, by the way, has been a most glorious one. At the end of the year he will have made eight varisty letters and captained two major teams. CARRUTHERS Bob Carruthers came to A. M. with the beginning of the S. A. T. C. four years ago. It is significant of his sterling and inherent ability that he made his first varsity letter on the famous 275 to team of 1919 as the fighting mate of the mighty Ruby Drake. Ever since he has been the regular source of strength at the position of right tackle. Bob knows footbal l. What is more, he applies his knowledge with such a cool head that he has repeatedly out¬ played opponents who outweighed him by dozens of pounds. It is fitting that he should play his last year under the Maroon and White during the season which has been characterized by the glorious victory over Center. DIETERICH Dieterich is a development of the all-com¬ pany games. For two years he has been a bul¬ wark of strength at the position of right guard. He and Cap Murrah make a pair that is known and feared throughout the Southwest. For a man of his weight, Dieterich is more than usually fast. Time and again he has been able to smash through the line quickly enough to block dan¬ gerous punts. The Texas and Center games represented the crowning performances of his football career; and, incidentally, these two games represented his last appearance in the mole¬ skins—that is, if he takes his degree this year. He has played only two years of collegiate foot¬ ball; and, as far as the number of years is con¬ cerned, is entitled to play another. Payc 375 MORRIS Playing his third year on the varsity squad. “Bugs Morris proved his right to be classed among the best field generals of the Conference. He directs the team with the guiding hand of the master tactician, with the controlling man¬ agement of one who knows the advantage of a simple yet versatile attack, and who lays out that variety of offense which will strike the quick¬ est at the opponent’s weakest quarters. More than one game has gone down in the archives of football history with his toe playing the leading role in the Farmers’ scoring. If Bugs hangs up his togs for good this year, the loss at the quarter¬ back position will be keenly felt throughout Aggieland. WILSON The big Eastern mentors who saw the Center game were not only unanimous in selecting Wilson as an All-American end. They also agreed that if the mythical eleven had been chosen it would have been captained by this redoubtable wing- man. “Puny is the greatest defensive end in the game to-day. He is down under punts before the ball arrives, waiting to tackle as soon as the oval is caught. His ability to carry the ball on offense has been proven time and again. Wilson plays the game hard—neither asking for nor offering quarter to the opponents. Many rushed and blocked punts have been due to his inherent ability to break through the interference before it has even had time to be well formed. He, in short, very nearly represents the ideal football player—a fact which his team-mates had in mind when they selected him to captain the 1923 eleven. SANDERS Sam Sanders came to A. and M. with an enviable record on the cinder path. When he cast his lot with the football men, everyone knew that Mr. Bible’s backfield would not be lacking in speed. This year he developed into one of the fastest, shiftiest, and most elusive backs in the Conference. He easily won a berth on the all- Conference eleven. Again and again he was the marked man on the Aggie squad. The ground Sam has gained through the line and his terribly long spirals have been big items in the Farmers’ success this year. With only a hundred and thirty-two pounds to his credit, he has made his reputation throughout the Southwest. The place left vacant by Sanders when he goes to Tulane next year will be mighty hard to fill. Page 376 Top row —Cassidy (Coach), Buescher, Cook, Neibuhr, Long, Pendleton, Carrol, McCoy Middle row —Jarvis, Moore, Davis, Smith, Gaston, Adams, Hanna, Orth, Webb, Stoval Bottom row —Henry, Whitehouse, Daniels, Little Floppy, Oliphant, Lawson, Parish Reserve Football Squad, 1921 The man who plays on the scrubs is the man who fights that A. M. may glory through the conquests of the varsity. The scrub goes out day after day, knowing that it is part of the game for him to scrimmage against the regulars, knowing that— although the varsity player is cheered to the skies—few will ever hear his name, and receiving his reward in the realization that the wonderful, brilliant skill which the regulars exhibit in the game has been developed through tortuous hours of fighting against the scrubs. The reserves furnished several of the men who played on the first eleven this year—men who have spent more than one drubbing year at the game, im¬ proving all of the time, until at last they have become mainstays of the varsity. A. M. pays homage to these men, and to all other men who have the nerve and trusting faith to fight onward when the going seems the roughest. Aggie- land realizes how heavily the reserves pay for every victory that is won; and, above all, A. M. wants the world to know that they deserve many, many times more praise than they ever receive. One of the foremost games played by the reserves this year was the one against Sam Houston Normal Institute. It was a hard tussle, but Mike Cassidy’s scrappers fought to a 7 to 7 tie. Another big fight of the year and one in which the Reserves showed what they really had in the line of ability was the victory over the famous Bryan High. Between the passes to McCoy and Moore and the kicking of Bill Neibuhr, the Reserves were just too much for the Bryan Hi lads. Next year we expect to see more than one of these reserves on the regular squad. Page 377 s l!

Captain 1 J Dwyer, Ehlert, Williams and Hartung, the old mainstays of former years, were back to help A. M. pull in the Championship for the third con¬ secutive time. Megarity, who showed up so well in the Longhorn game last year, and Roper, March and Jones were also among the early cagers to appear at Kyle field. In addition, there was an imposing array of material from the last year’s Freshman squad. From this latter source, there were none who showed up to better advantage than Darby and Gill. At the center position, the tall, rangy and powerful “Tiny” Keen was a dark horse. His first experience on the court last year showed conclusively that he had great ability if it could only be developed. Truly, it was a promising bunch from the very first—-the kind of squad that makes every team in the Conference consider it such an honor to defeat Texas A. M. The Passing of the Four Stars The Farmers started the ball to rolling by defeating S. H. N. Institute in two moderately fast games. The Houston Triangles now came down for a 38 to 16 drubbing. The Triangles, including Todda Forbes and Eddie Longscope, lost on account of lack of team-work and very poor conditioning. Idie Farmers’ Conference season was actually opened by the playing of two fast games against S. M. U. at Dallas. Tiny Keen surprised the followers of Doc Blackwell by looping three baskets in rapid succession during the first three minutes of play. The Mustangs gave the Farmers a run for their money in the first half, but Coach Bible’s men came back stronger in the second half and fin¬ ished with a score of 28 to 16. The next game was practically a repetition of the first, with a score of 26 to 21 in favor of the Aggies. Despite the fact that S. M. U. made 21 points, Gill and Dwyer both played wonderful games at the guard positions. Ehlert, as usual, starred at forward. Page 382 .. tiZUXtUs-tLi ri-i •; Jones Roper March The next games were played against the Baylor Bears. Coach Bridges had formed a remarkably fast team around Lyons and Bradshaw. The former, who was an All-Southwestern man last year, was actually the man about whom the offense was built. Baylor really took the first game by a margin of one field goal. Both teams came in for an unusually large amount of spectacular playing, but the final score was 17 to 15 in favor of the Bears. On the next night Captain Dwyer and his men obtained revenge. The Aggies merely turned the tables and won by the same score by which they had lost the night before. The feathered flock of Rice Owls now flew in for their drubbing. Even with several of the regulars out of the game on account of injuries, A. M. won both games by scores of 22 to 7 and 19 to II respectively. Ehlert acted as captain on account of the fact that Dwyer was one of the injured. Jones, at guard, showed up well in his first game of the season. The next team that came to Aggieland furnished the fans with two of the most exciting and most bitterly-fought games of the season to date. Phillips engaged the Aggies in two seething encounters. They were among the hottest ever seen on Kyle Field floor. _ The scores, which were 31 to 25 and 30 to 18, do not half tell the tale. AV, _ Captain Dwyer Hartung Page 383 EjUb Vi . ' 1 Williams The old rival, Texas University, was then humbled on her own floor. The followers of Bellmont fully expected tw o big Longhorn victories. The Far¬ mers cleaned Bellmont out, however, by scores of 20 to 17 and 25 to 16. This gave the Aggies a very promising lead in the Conference rating. Prospects began to look brighter than ever for another Championship. After defeating Rice and S. M. U. again in two games each, the Farmers again tackled the Bears. Baylor managed to take the first game by a one-point margin, but had to bow down in defeat the next night to the tune of 32 to 19. The games with the Bears brought the Farmers up to the closing contests of the season, two games with Texas University. Texas won the first game by a score of 19 to 11. A. and M. must have had an off-night for the team was both out-fought and out-played. McCullough, of the University, played a splendid game at guard and was in a measure responsible for the small Aggie score. The next night marked the big come-back. A. M. made a field goal on the very first play. From then on the University never had a chance. The Farmers played and fought as they had never done before. It was literally the greatest game ever played at A. M. The great Phillips contest was outstripped by far. The final gun was heard when the Aggies w ere leading by 20 to 8. For the third consecutive time the Farmers were the undisputed CHAMPIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST.

He has a system of rushing opponents that is almost always successful. Injuries were the only things that kept Floppy from making the All- Southwestern team this year. He has had, counting the time he played on high school and prep school teams, ten years of experience on the floor; and no one shows the results of his experience better than Hartung. The way he fought in the Texas games when he could hardly stand on his injured leg was a revelation to all who did not already know his standard of fighting. Floppy ends a brilliant career this year. Brilliant as it has been, however, it has been marred somewhat by an almost inexhaustible string of injuries. He has the ability of the very best in the South and has demonstrated it time and again. CAPT. DWYER Captain Dwyer is the best running guard ever seen in this Conference. An almost perfect dribbler, fast, shifty, a flashing, dazzling wizard on the floor, he has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to carry the ball the entire length of the court. Pat has a style of defense and offense which fits in perfectly with that of Hartung. Dwyer seldom makes a shot at the basket. Fie prefers to carry the ball to the very shadow of the basket and then turn it over to one of the forwards. This year is Pat’s last; and, as he goes out as the selected captain of the mythical All-South- western team, the greatest guard of the Southwest quits the game as far as playing is concerned. GILL King Gill is a product of the Fish Team of last year. At the guard position he is among the very best. Just as Miller lacks experience to be a second Higgenbothem, just so does Gill lack experience to be a second Dwyer. He has some of the quick rushing tactics of Hartung along with many of the fast, shifty, advancing policies of Dwyer. For a guard, Gill is a very good shot. More than once his basket shots have been big factors in deciding the outcome of close games. He has two more years in which to develop. Next year he is expected to take one of the All-Southwestern places. MEGARITY The smallest man to make his letter this year was Megarity. He has, nevertheless, a quick elusiveness, a decided skill, and a de¬ ceiving policy of offense which more than makes up for his lack of bulk. Megarity first won the attention of basket ball en¬ thusiasts in the Texas games of last year. This year he has been used repeatedly at the forward position; and, for the time that he has been in the game, has counted heavily in the scoring. Long shots from poor openings are his specialty. It was one of those beautif ully arched shots that won from Texas last year and which have counted frequently this year. Megarity has one more year under the Maroon and White. Page 386 DARBY Darby, at center and forward, has been an extraordinarily good man. He came to A. M. last year and easily made both the Fish Squad and the Battery inter-company team. This year he has played in practically every game; and, when the time that he has been in the games is considered, he has been re¬ markably high in the scoring. Darby has the advantage of a tall body and long arms—an advantage which enables him to snatch the opponents’ passes out of the air and turn them into A. M. field goals before they can realize what has happened. On the short shots under the goal he is practically a sure counter. Darby will be back to fight two more years for Aggieland. KEEN Tall, powerful, and adept at learning the game, “Tiny” Keen quickly became the regular man at the pivot position. If the free shots at the basket after fouls are not counted, Tiny has the highest record of the entire squad on scoring. During the season he made 126 points on field goals alone. He stands literally head and shoulders above nearly every other man in the Conference. This enormous size enables him to handle the ball with very little interference from opponents. It also enables the Aggies to put plays into effect from the center of the floor—a thing which could not be done if a smaller man were playing the position. Keen will return next year to captain the 1923 team. EHLERT If the total number of points is counted, Dutch Ehlert was the honor man at scoring this year. He is an example of a man who has improved consistently—a man who has really developed into the best forward in the Conference. Last year he was considered more than usually good, but this year his brilliant playing easily won the All-South¬ western position for him at forward. Ag¬ gressive, full of fight, and a remarkably quick thinker, he is considered one of the very best forwards in the South. His worth in this day of five-man defense is more than ever apparent, for he can guard as well as play the forward position. This is Dutch’s last year with the Farmers. WILLIAMS “Hootie” Williams is another one of the present Seniors who have seen four years on the floor and who have played such important parts in winning the last three consecutive Southwestern Championships for A. M. Williams is a mighty good forward and is exceptionally good at hitting the basket, both from the standpoint of field goals and from the standpoint of free goals after fouls. Over a hundred points have been attributable to his skill this season. “Hootie” has played in practically every game this season—a season which marks his last appearance in the basket ball togs under the bright lights. He, Ehlert, Hartung and Dwyer have played their last games with the words of “Farmers Fight” ringing in their ears. S3 w T..... Page 3S7 Fish Basket Ball Squad Top row —Anderson {Coach), Greenstreet, Morey, Jacobson, Simpson, Schuler Bottom row —Kreuger, Tosch, Dealey, Washburn {Capt.), Duckett, Damon, Quayle The Freshman Basket Ball Season ✓ lOACH ANDERSON started out on the Fish Basket Ball season this year t i with more than thirty men clamoring for places on the squad. It was known in advance that the season was to be a hard one. Difficult games were scheduled with amazing regularity. The Fish proved to be equal to the task, however, for they finished the season with one of the best records ever made by a Freshman team. The first two games of the season were split with Sam Houston Normal by scores of 17 to 9 and 11 to 18, respectively. Inasmuch as the Normal had previously defeated Rice, the Fish deserve considerable credit. Among the other games to be played were the game with Bryan High, the one with Abilene Christian College, and the game with St. Edwards, all of which were won by Coach Anderson’s cagers without any great apparent difficulty. Several really good men showed up during the year. Among these were Duckett, Washburn, Dealy, Tosch and Damon. Washburn was perhaps the most finished man on the squad, with Dealy and Duckett running him a close second. The latter two are representatives of Houston High—the scho ol which has furnished so many good men for the Varsity team. Four of the men on the regular team graduate this year, and it will be largely from the Fish that the new men will be recruited for next year. Pacjo 3SS Cavalry Basket Ball Squad The inter-battalion basket ball games this year were characterized by the same highly pitched organization spirit that has always marked these battles. Men fight for the glory of their own battalion and, at the same time, for a pos¬ sible place on the regular squad which is formed after the inter-battalion games are over. The incentive is so great that each team invariably does its best in every game. The games soon narrowed down this year to a bout between the Artillery and the Cavalry, a battle which eliminated the former and placed the Cavalry in the champions berth. On the Artillery side, Fish Washburn was undoubtedly the individual star, not only of the Artillery side but also of the entire game. Upon the other hand, Fish Duckett of the Cavalry displayed unusual form. Cool-headed, thoroughly experienced, at home on the floor, and a good fighter, he led the scoring for the Cavalry. Duckett nearly always out-jumped his man at center, thereby al¬ lowing the Cavalry to put their plays into effect from the center of the floor. The final score was 16 to 13. The three points difference marked an accumula¬ tion which the Cavalry had obtained early in the game and which the Artillery was never able to overcome. Both organizations had teams of exceptionally good men in every position. That is one reason, perhaps, why the game was one of the most brilliantly fought and most hotly contested of any of the games that have ever been seen in inter-battalion competition.

In the second place, the Second Battalion was fortunate in having an exceptionally strong and able bunch of men from whom to pick the eleven. Kirkpatrick, Wilson, Hardma n and Bryan were only a few of the bulwarks of strength in the C-D line-up. Poth, who was in the hospital during the final game, was another mighty good man who served to advantage along with McClellan and Turney in the early games of the series. The series eventually sifted down to a contest between the redoubtable C-D men and the Cavalry. The latter had won the basket ball championship already and were bidding strongly for the winning honors in football. The mounted boys did put up a mighty good fight, but in the end they left the field with the little end of the score. Wilson’s and Pinson’s aggregation had proven that in the inter-battalion class they were absolutely the best in all of Aggieland.

J. Rothgeb, Coach Faye 303 The Story of A. and M.’s First Track Championship T ERHAPS the most significant thing in Southwestern track athletics this year is the general high standard that has prevailed. The record in every event has been set at a mark which compares favorably with that of any conference in the United States. Lindsey of Rice tied the world’s record in the century. Our own Mahan is generally considered as one of the best in the country in the hurling of the javelin. The Aggie relay team made a record that would be commendable anywhere. The general trend, however, does not seem to be characterized by a few stellar performers so much as by a general improvement in all events. Captain Weir leads the Conference in the 220 -yard dash Surrounded by these conditions, but with one of the best coaches in the South to bring out its latent ability, the Aggie team finished the season ab¬ solutely undefeated. Working with all events well balanced, a record breaker in some but good in all, the old team just outclassed everything in the South¬ west. The first competition of the year was in the form of a dual meet with S. M. U. at College Station. Here A. M. showed her true colors by running away with the meet to the tune of 97 to 20. Denny gave evidence of the re¬ markable work that was to characterize the entire season for him when he be¬ came high point man for the day with a total of fifteen points. Mahan won a first place in both the javelin and the shot-put, but he had to give way to Din- widdie in the discus. In the distance runs S. M. U. failed to even place; and, of the entire twenty points made by the Methodists, fourteen were made by the redoubtable Tom Lemon. The next meet was with Baylor at Waco. Despite the fact that A. M. had already defeated S. M. U., Coach Bridges pinned his hopes for a Bear Victory upon the performances of such men as Wolf, Keiffer and “Mule” Frazier. In the hundred-yard dash competition was expected to be particularly keen. It was captain against captain as far as Wolf and Weir were concerned, and the Page 394 Baylorites were willing to bet everything down to their socks that Wolf would be the man of the hour. As the dash men lined up at the start of the race the excitement among the fans rose to a maximum. Hundreds of tense faces told better than words that this was to be the race of the day. At last the smoke from the starter’s gun was seen and the race was on. The next ten seconds marked the downfall of Baylor’s hopes for Wolf was defeated. Weir obtained a slight advantage upon the start; but, even if Wolf had obtained the advantage, the result would have been the same for Heine Weir crept away from him at every stride. As a team, Bridges’ aggrega¬ tion did well—even better, in fact, than the Aggies had expected; but, in the final count, the Bears were literally swamped under. At the same time that the Farmers were winning the meet they were ob¬ taining a knowledge of the track and field that was to stand them in good stead when they returned for the Conference Meet several weeks later. The proteges of Coach Roth- geb had now hit their stride in earnest. The other teams in the state that had been making rash assertions began to sit up with nervous alarm and take notice of the powerful bunch from College Station. Like an avalanche the Farmers hit the Rice Owls with the mighty wallop of 83 to 24. The Owls took only three first Captain Weir places, one in the hundred-yard Captain-elect Sanders Page 395 Sanders proves to be the best 440 man in the Conference. dash, one in the shot-put and one in the half-mile run. It was in this meet that Lindsey tied the world’s record by running a hundred yards in nine and three- fifth seconds. Proud Texas was the next to go under. The Longhorns realized their weak¬ ness, however, and were making no bold claims except in the distance runs. The University had lost her star hurdler, Moss, who made the Olympic team in 1920, as well as several other good men about whom their defen.se had been based for several years. Their distance squad, however, was still intact, and Stinnet in the dashes and McNatt in the middle distances were showing up exceptionally well. True to their expectations, the Longhorns took the mile and two-mile without any undue exertion. Stinnet did not show up quite as well as was generally expected, but McNatt ran one of the prettiest races of the day and edged out over Sanders in the 440. Littlejohn sprang a surprise in the half-mile by winning a victory in exactly two minutes and three seconds. The same old teamwork that had won in the past could not be downed, so the final score was 79 to 373 2, with the University on the little end. A. M. had now defeated every team that she had encountered. There merely remained the small matter of going down to Waco to pull in the Con¬ ference Championship. With the same fight and loyal teamwork that had characterized every competition of the year, every man giving the best that was in him regardless of score or results, the Aggies nearly doubled the score of the nearest rival. Sam Sanders beat his old rival, McNatt, in the 440; and, with his accumulated points, Sam was the high point man of the meet. When the final count was made the Aggies had 54 points. For the first time in her history A. M. was the undisputed Track Champion of the Southwestern Conference. Page 396 DINVVIDDIE There are good men on every good track team, but the man on any team who goes through the entire season undefeated is indeed a rarity. Outside of Captain Weir, the only man on the squad to have a record which at the end of the season showed no defeats was Din- widdie. Measured by the standard of powerful athletes he was not an exceptionally large in¬ dividual, but his husky arms and shoulders were trained to the knack of hurling the discus to such a distance that he was absolutely above all comers. Between Dinwiddie, Dieterich and Keen we ought to have little to fear in the weight events next year. MAHAN All-American in football, a member of the Olympic team in the javelin throw, exceptionally rood at both the shot-put and the discus—Jack Mahan ranks as one of the best athletes who ever gazed on Prexy’s moon. Wherever South¬ western or National athletics are discussed his name is a by-word. The opponents, when they counted their points before the meet, universally accredited Mahan with at least one first place and several seconds. Although this year marks his last as far as participation in athletics is con¬ cerned, his name will be remembered as long as there is a school at College Station. Mahan had a great athletic career; and yet that tells only half of the story, for there has never been a stronger personality to go forth to represent the A. M. College than that embodied in “Eddie” Mahan. HAILEY In his second year at A. M., Hailey showed a remarkable improvement over his former season’s work. His bettered form, his decreased time, and—most of all—his reliability served to give him the undisputed place of A. M.’s best distance man. Out of the four dual meets “Cy” Hailey took three first places in the mile run. He and his running mate, Reynolds, could be depended upon to put everything they had into every race; and, in the long run, the ability to do that is the biggest thing that one gets out of any kind of athletics. It is this same relia¬ bility, more than anything else, that led to “Cy” being selected to captain the fall cross-country team. rf ffw| i?§0 Pace 397 DENNY “Corporal” Denny is one of the best examples we have of the success that comes through perseverance and determination. From an insignificant figure in athletics during his first two years at A. M., he built himself up to be the high-point man on the best track team A. M. ever had. He made as many points during the season as the entire team made in the Conference Meet. Tall and gracefully built, Corporal was perfectly at home among the hurdles. At the same time, the powerful muscles of his arms and back helped him to be¬ come one of the best pole-vaulters in the Con¬ ference. DIETERICH It is seldom that any man makes the record that Dieterich made this year and more than seldom that one makes that record during his first year at athletic competition. Although the javelin, the shot-put, and the discus all seemed to come naturally to “Ox,” it was the javelin that claimed his chief attention. In the big Conference meet Mahan was a little bit off form and Dieterich actually beat him out for the first place, setting at the same time, a new Conference record. HARRIS Harris was somewhat handicapped at the first of this season by an injured ankle. As soon as he was able to run, however, he became one of the most valuable men on the relay team. His best race of the season was in the relay at the Conference meet where he out-distanced all competitors by a matter of yards. In addi¬ tion to his abilities in the middle distance races, it is a known fact that Harris is very good at the 220-yard dash and the high jump. Should the circumstances make it necessary he can probably do as well here as in the relay. FRAZIER Since the year one, or at least longer than the present seniors can remember, there has al¬ ways been a Frazier to represent us in the hurdles. True to past traditions, Oscar Frazier was out again this year to uphold the family name. He obtained rather a late start this year due to the overlapping of the track and wrestling seasons, but with his ability and experience he easily made his letter. This is the last year for Denny; and, unless new material is developed, Frazier will be our sole representative in the hurdles next year. ✓ Page 39S SMYTH As soon as it became generally known that “Red” Smyth was to be eligible for the track team every one knew that the T-Club would have a new member this year. This little bunch of nerve and muscle goes to make up as good a man as we have ever had in the broad jump, and he can actually crowd Heine Weir in the dashes. Red can chin himself with either arm at the horizontal bar, an accomplishment which Coach Rothgeb hopes to make use of next year in training Smyth for the pole-vault position which will be left vacant by Mahan and Denny. It is generally conceded that Red will have to give up either the broad jump or the dashes on account of the fact that the springy stride of the jumps is so different from the pulling stride of the dashes. CAPTAIN WEIR The mere mentioning of the name of Heine Weir brings to the average Aggie a mental picture of a red-trousered figure dashing down a cinder path at fabulous speed. Heine was one of the exceptional men who were remarkably good in three separate and distinct running events. There were few indeed who could rub elbows with him in the century, and in the relay he and Sanders were in a class by themselves. Good as Heine was in the relay, however, it was in the 220-yard dash that he set the pace for all competitors and in which he was unde¬ feated throughout the year. Weir has been one of the strongest members of the team for three years. When he leaves after next year his place is one of those that will be the hardest to fill. STEELE Steele Vs a man who has specialized in one event, namely, the broad jump. For two years he has represented A. M. in a manner that has left little indeed to be desired. Coach Rothgeb knew that, with him and Smyth as representa¬ tives, the broad jump was one ' event over which he need waste little if any worry . Steele has one more year at A. M.—one last year in which to help the Aggies pull in the Conference Cham¬ pionship again. When a man gives his time to one event there is generally a constant improve¬ ment to be expected. Steele’s case is no excep¬ tion for he has. improved! continiually finoma the very first. DAVIS Clem Davis was one of the surprises of the season. From the mediocre dash man of last year he developed into one of the four men on the record-breaking relay team. Clem was one of the very first in every race; and, but for the fact that he was running in such fast company as Sanders, he would undoubtedly have been our chief representative in the 440. Sanders was disqualified in the Baylor meet, but Davis was there right behind him to take the first place for A. M. Like Harris, he made one of his very best races of the season at the Con¬ ference Meet in the relay race. CAPTAIN-ELECT SANDERS Sammy Sanders runs the 440 in around fifty seconds flat, can jump several inches higher than his head, and is as good a man as we have ever had in the relay. His best race of the season, perhaps, was in the 440 at the Conference meet. McNatt had beat the di¬ minutive Sanders about two weeks previously, but it is characteristic of Sam to fight the harder under adverse odds, with the result that this time he defeated McNatt. His all-around good work for the entire season led to his being selected to captain the 1922 team. LITTLEJOHN Lacy Littlejohn was one of the hardest and most conscientious trainers on the squad. Every race marked a gradual and consistent improvement until the crucial half-mile at the Texas meet, where he ran his best race of the season. His long, easy stride is deceiving in that few can realize its terrific speed until after they have endeavored to follow behind him for a few hundred yards. Incidentally, Littlejohn splits honors with Dieterich as being the only two men on the squad to make their varsity letters during their first year on the squad. REYNOLDS The most natural thing in track athletics at A. M. is to see “Red” Reynolds appear in his abbreviated red trousers just as the last call for the mile run is sounded. Reynolds has put three good years into distance running and every year has witnessed a marked improvement in his work. A good coach shifts his men so as to work for the best interests of the team as a whole. Red has been running the mile for the past three years, but the belief is prevalent among some that the half-mile is actually his race of races.

Five of the last year’s ring leaders had failed to return; but, to compensate for this loss, which gave promise of being a serious one, Sentell was swamped with an avalanche of new and partly new material. Some of the best bets among these latter were those men who barely missed their letters the year before, among whom Wilson, Dinan, Olsen, Smith and Tongate showed up best in the first few prac¬ tices. The next few weeks marked the development of the team that gave Texas University the race of her life for the Southwestern championship. A close decision on second base In the baptismal game with Simmon’s College the entire team showed the effect of Sentell’s splendid coaching. The fielding and pitching surpassed the proverbial tightness. Henderson allowed but one hit, while the team as a whole allowed no runs. Dwyer, Crawford and Henderson each left home with a three- base ticket well out into the field. The hitting of the entire team was high, although Simmon’s tried to hold us down with two pitchers. The first game ended 10 to 0. On the next day, with Sprague pitching for A. M., the leaky tub that represented the Ship of Hope for Simmon’s was securely anchored to the zero end of a 7 to score. The next week saw the Rice Owls flying to College Station with high hopes. Their hopes were short-lived, however, for they were compelled to leave the field in deep dejection at the end of the seventh with their tail feathers singed by the heat of a 10 to 5 defeat. 123456789 R H E A.

Although of apparent insignificance, this game, lost by the mere matter of one point, eventually determined the Southwestern championship. With balanced scores against A. M., the Longhorns led us in the race for the coveted title by a paltry percentage as based upon the total number of games that we had won. Page JfOJ . A hit to center field On April 11 and 12 the Aggies were called upon to pull in the heavy side of the score of two games with the Houston American Legion. The Houston boys did some pretty playing, but when they left College Station they left with the scores of 7 to 2 and 13 to 4 piled up against them. Baseball luck now decreed that up to this time we had won more than our share of the games that we had played. Consequently when we played our old rivals at Austin they were able to hold us scoreless. They were able, never¬ theless, to roll up only two scores against us. Gillette was able to fan only, five of our men while Henderson forced nine Longhorns away from the plate. With all of that, we were able to get no runs out of five hits as compared to their two runs out of three hits. 1 234567 89RHE A. M. 000000000051 Tex.

M. finished the season by taking two straight games from South¬ western University at Brenham by scores of 3 to 2 and 7 to 4. We barely missed the Conference championship this year, but we did produce a team that wen over 81% of the games that it played and stacked up a total of 152 points to the opponents’ 65.

He is second only to Morris in the bat¬ ting average. In addition to being a heavy swatter, he always plays a most consistently good game at second. Pete and Doherty, his partner at second, will both be back next year to help put out the team which we are expecting to snatch away the Conference title from the proteges of Billy Disch. CRAWFORD Big Jim Crawford was the man behind the bat. Although he played the catcher’s position in every game of the season except one, he finished up with only three errors chalked up • against him. More than one aspiring batter found his hopes for a base hit sunk deep into Charlie Crawford’s huge catcher’s mitt. The fact that he is a good all-round player and one who can be depended upon at all times is well evidenced by the fact that he has been selected to captain next year’s team. This coming year is your last, Charlie, and we are expecting great things from you and your team. SMITH In the fall we all think that Smith has the football instinct, but when spring rolls around we change our opinion and decide unanimously that he has the baseball instinct if ever we saw such a thing. There was hardly a double play made this year in which “Smittie” did not have a finger. At third base he is as good a bet as we have on the entire squad. He and Guynes are perhaps the most conspicuous men we have when it comes to that incessant chatter that spells encouragement to the team when it is in a tight place. Smith has one more year under the Maroon and White before graduation claims him. MORRIS The grandstand loves a man who can hit. Although “Bugs” is anything in the world rather than a grandstand player, it must be admitted that he is the reigning king of Aggie swatters. “Abie” made the first home run of the season in the second game with Rice. It is not always the case that a good hitter is also a good all-round player, but there is no one who knows Bugs’ style of playing who will admit that, as good as he is with the big stick, he is one whit better with the bat than he is when playing at his favorite position at short-stop. Page 408 SPRAGUE One of the essentials of a good pitcher is a cool head. He must be able to think quickly and to act almost as quickly as he thinks. “Doc” Sprague pitched in one-third of all of the games that were played and during that time he made but two errors. “Henchman” does not belong to that class of pitchers who are scintillatingly brilliant at times and worse than poor at others. He can always be depended upon to come through in a pinch—to pitch the same reliable game at all times. Incidentally, he and Olsen will be back next year, pitching together again for the glory of A. M. OLSEN Pat Olsen is another one of the pitching staff that kept them all wondering where the ball went after it left the pitcher’s hand. If Olsen continues to twirl in the future as he has in the past, our friend Henry, the magician, will be back to take a few sleight-of-hand lessons from him. Missing the batter’s stick is one of the easiest things Pat does, and the best part about it all is that he will be back for two more years—continuing to miss the sticks of all would-be Babe Ruths. DINAN One of the most versatile men on the squad was Fred Dinan. Although he prefers to play in right field, he is mighty accommodating about filling in at practically any place where a good man is needed. Fred can step ably from the field into the pitcher’s box, and can even don the catcher’s paraphernalia when occasion demands. In addition to all of this, he ranks as one of the heavyweights on the batting staff. Dinan brought in more than thirteen per cent of all the runs that were made this season. CAPTAIN MATTHEWS Captain Matthews has the honor of being one of the very few men on any Conference team to go throughout the season with an absolutely errorless record. “Lefty’s” favorite post is at left field, but as is characteristic with most “wrong-handers,” he can step into the box and exhibit the same fight and punch that dis¬ tinguishes him in the field. He leaves the captaincy with the same record he had when he entered it—that of being one of the best all¬ round players that Texas A. M. has had in many a day. Lefty will be back next year to finish up his collegiate baseball career. Page It09 HENDERSON “Barnyard” Henderson played in fifteen out of twenty-one games this season. More notable than this, however, is the fact that he pitched six consecutive games. Besides being our safest and best man in the box, Hendy is strong at batting and can even play a remark¬ ably strong game in the field when occasion demands. Rumors drift back to us of the good work that he is doing with the professionals, but the work he actually did here is better evidence of his ability than any hearsay rumors that may float around. DOHERTY “Music” Doherty did not get into action this year until the season was half over, but he played a mighty hard and consistent game at second for the balance of the season. Only two errors were charged to his account for the entire year. Considering the number of games in which he played, we find that Music brought in more than his share of the total runs. Second base is one position that will be well cared for this next year; for, with two such men as Pete Wilson and Music Doherty, there will be little indeed about which to worry. GUYNES One of the deepest “wells” into which any opponent can sink a ball is in our center field and is presided over by “Uncle John Rice” Guynes. We have our troubles and worries along with the rest of the world, but one thing that we do not worry about is the hits that go out into his territory. Magpies have absolutely nothing on John Rice, for his chatter comes in incessantly and is indicative of the fact ole “Unc” is right there on the job at all times. Fortunately he will be with us again next year. DWYER If there is anything that Pat Dwyer enjoys more than the playing of basket ball it surely must be the playing of first base on the diamond. A fiendish and terrible worker—he had a finger in practically every double play that was pulled this season. Pat ranks among the very best in batting, and from all appearances he will be giving Babe Ruth a run for his money in a few years. There is a little secret gossip to the effect that he keeps a few snakes under that first base pad as good luck tokens; but, considering the style of ball that he plays, no one feels in¬ clined to hold that against him. A Paqe if 10 Page J ll Maxwell Buckner Frazier Haney Ramsey Ashworth Matthes Gardner Thompson Adams Jones (Coach) Wrestling The Wrestling Squad has been fortunate in having one of the best coaches in the game as its mentor. Coach Jones knows wrestling from the ground up; and, what is not always the case with men possessed of specialized knowledge, he knows how to impart this accumulation of science and tactics to his men. The only drawback in the past has been that the College has heretofore failed, on account of the newness of the sport, to give it the recognition that it is due. Not only did the team capture its second successive State Championship this year; in addition, the team as a whole finished a strong second for Conference honors and Ramsey and Gardner as individuals were Southwestern Champions in their classes. The 115-pound Thompson, Ashford at 145 pounds, and Matthes at 135 pounds all placed second in their respective weights. With every man on the squad, excepting Ramsey, returning for the coming season, it seems that A. and M. is due to sweep the Conference next year. Buck¬ ner, Rowland, and Lieper showed up well. Another season’s work should place them in the winning list, for they undoubtedly have the necessary ability. In short, it seems that Wrestling, as a sport, is due an increasing spread in both importance and popularity. The success of the past season has been the funda¬ mental reason for the enormous interest that has been shown by Aggie fans, and this interest has now increased to such an extent that Wrestling is due to be recognized as one of the big forms of Intercollegiate competition. Page If 12 COACH JONES Out of sheer love for the mat game, this former Princeton captain and intercollegiate champion has borne the brunts of coaching. To him goes a large part of the credit for the establishment of Wrestling at A. M. From a bunch of willing youngsters who had never seen a mat, Coach Jones has twice produced a team that won the state championship. It was his undaunted perseverance, his ability to instill fight and knowledge of the game and his magnanimous desire to serve Texas A. M. that has placed the Aggies on a plane above reproach in the wrestling world. RAMSEY Aided by natural ability, careful condition¬ ing and the very best of coaching, this Aggie giant and Southwestern Champion became the sensation of the South. With his powerful headlock, similar to that used by Strangler Lewis, he battled all opponents into quick submission. Ramsey met “Polly” Wallace, National Champion, in one of the most spec¬ tacular bouts ever seen in the West. Wallace received the decision, but Ramsey fought such a fight as to win the admiration of every fan who was present. In his two years of inter¬ collegiate competition, A. M.’s best heavy¬ weight has never had his shoulders pinned to the mat for the fatal three seconds. GARDNER Aggressive at all times, carrying the fight to the opponent, and unafraid to risk his reputa¬ tion in an exciting and dangerous encounter, “Snooks” Gardner has come through two years undefeated. His riding scissors and headlock holds have spread terror among the hundred and twenty-five pounders. Gardner was one of the very few men who won a Conference championship this year. He has never met his equal in Texas. “Snooks” will captain the team for next year; and it is predicted that, when the last bout is over, he will still be the undisputed champion of his class. MATTHES Matthes spilled the lightweight dope this year when he won a first place in the two dual meets and placed second in the big Conference bouts. With his aggressive tactics and his sweeping policies, he exhibited an unprecedented development. In spite of his aggressive tactics, however, Matthes is classed by reliable critics as one of the most conservative mat generals of the state. He has developed a weird com¬ bination of riding holds which his opponents have as yet failed to fathom. In the Oklahoma invasion he established a reputation for the use of the wristlock which will cause him to be one of the most feared grapplers in the South.

M. interest ran high from the very first of the season. Competition was keenly felt, and it soon became apparent that the ones who were to represent Aggieland would be among the best in the state. Wilson and Varnell showed up as out¬ standing stars. They both covered the court well in the singles and made a splendid pair for the doubles. Chambers and Welch were another pair who worked together to good advantage. A total of seven meets were scheduled, beginning with the Mustangs at Dallas and going on down through the Texas Meet, where the clever Granger and Drumwright made things rather warm for A. M. If the interest in Tennis remains at its present peak, it will be only a year or so before the Farmers will be among the very best in the Southwest. The development they have shown this year has been phenomenal. Not all of the seven meets have been won, by any means, but the men have demonstrated that they have the ability; and Coaches Thomas and Cahn can develop this ability if given the necessary time. Plans are already being made for a heavy schedule for the coming year. It really seems that Tennis, like Wrestling, is due to have a big and increasing impetus among the Aggies. With practically all of the squad men returning for next year’s season, we ought to have representatives in both the singles and the doubles who can place A. M. second to none.

Hartung, how do you feel about it? Winn? Well, I’ll have to pass you on the Centre game. You men probably thought Bo McMillin could sidestep, didn’t you? How’s that, Thomas? Yes, Sanders is fa-a-ir. But when I was in school we had the greatest sidestepper I ever saw— why even I couldn’t tackle him! Yes, I’ll admit Rothgeb built up a pretty good line, and I don ' t mean to say anything about Carruthers here, but that little line of mine over at Bryan—whew! “But that’s getting off the subject. As a matter of fact, I discovered that compound as an impurity formed in my nitraters during the war. We had been having considerable trouble in our products, and one day the General Sup. came around to me and casually remarked, ‘Your output is slumping.’ Well, I knew what it meant! It was up to me to find the trouble or get kicked out; these big boys don’t cuss you out—they tell you once. The next morning I walks into his office and tells him what was the trouble. That was all there was to it. Bimmerman, what action would Sulphuric have on that compound? Williams, how do you feel about that? Crites? Now listen here—when you men get out in one of these big plants, don’t you ever tell them you don’t know anything! Make a try at it. Why, I don’t even know how to run a locomotive, but you let the President of the Southern Pacific Lines offer me his job, and see how long it takes me to accept it. Why, give me twelve hours to read up on it, and I’d take President Harding’s place! You men have got to rely on your own selves. One day I was about half a mile down the line, when something blew up at the plant. Without looking around, I knew it was a nitrater, and I started running. I ran to the plant, crawled in on my belly, and dragged out a man. I looked at him and knew that he was dead. I blew the fumes out of the room and in three minutes the plant was running as if nothing had happened. I couldn’t be stopped. Now these nitraters—they control the quality of the powder. I know my berries about this powder game. I could tell you what shot-gun shells to use; but these big manufacturers would hear about it and then I’d be accused of advertising one company. I could tell you what fertilizer to use. Why, where I used to live, we raised cotton so big that we had to use step-ladders on wheels to pick it.....No, that was in Alabama; Centre College is in Kentucky.....No, I’ve never been there.....You see, I knew Marlie Choran when he was down here. Marlie used to think he was some little boxer. Well, he and I were tapping around with the gloves one night when he happened to be feeling pretty down in the mouth. I happened to hit him a couple of blows harder than I intended and he began to get hot. I kept tapping him off and he got hotter and hotter. I saw a crazy look come into his eye, but I wasn’t worried. I suspected what was coming and waited. As he rushed at me, I sprang to the right, spun on the ball of my left foot, in this manner, and with the weight of my body and what kick I had in my right arm, I drove one into his jaw, which bowled him over. Of course, Marlie got up mad as a bull, and from then on for ten minutes I dealt him blows at will. Finally he tried to jerk off his gloves, but fortunately for him, they were tied on too tight; and so I didn’t have to take mine off either. I saw he was getting mad, so I says to him, ‘Now see here, Marlie, we’ve got to stop. You’re getting mad and you’ll make me mad, and then I’ll have to take off my gloves and knock hell out of you!’ He had to learn by experience, just as you will. That’s the best way. It cost me a hundred dollars to learn to tell a good hog from a sorry one; fifty to tell a good dog; and— Well, time’s up. Next time I’ll continue this lecture on the cracking of petroleum. Page J 21 OUR ALL AMERICAN YELL LEADER .SNAKE CHARMER.. Page Jf22 “Sandblowers’ Meeting” or “Carried Out in a Gale” The usual tranquil and peaceful state of affairs no longer hovered over the Campus. A states of turmoil existed. No one knew wh y. No one could explain the situation. All that was known was that there was a band of “Physical Monstrosities” who called themselves “Sandblowers” who were holding secret meetings. Prexy had given his valiant “Hawkshaw” his final instructions. He was to catch them “Alive or Asleep.” As he backed out of Prexy’s office Hawkshaw meekly said, “Prexy! Prexy! I’ll get them if I have to stay here as long as Dean Peewee.” The next afternoon as Hawkshaw was making his usual rounds in his “Seven Cylinder—Six Passenger Detroit Scandal” he happened to venture near the large sandpile that the Bachelors Club had bought for Sis Braden and “Fundamental Straw” of E. E. fame. As he neared the spot he saw great clouds of sand and dust arising. Thinking that possibly he might get some poor Shine who was trying to get a few dollars out of his electric dice (the kind that produce the cur¬ rency), or get a clue to the mystery that was hanging around the Campus like Red Thompson around Haswells in Bryan, Hawkshaw alighted from his “Explosion Buggy” and hid it in Coffer’s flower garden. Then he hied himself to the scene of action. Fearing lest he be caught, he thought it best to crawl instead of walking. Quickly dropping to his knees he began his crawl toward the disturbance at the same rate Bobby Smith makes on his bicycle. Soon he came in sight of a scene that only the wildest dreamer could dream. There in a circle were about twenty of those “Physical Monstrosities” all reclining and leisurely blowing sand. Soon one of the Midgets arose. Hawkshaw immediately recognized him as Red Smith. In a thunderous tone that would have done justice to a three-day old Chee-Chee he called the meeting to order. As each name was called by the Sec. who was recognized as Eben Price, the members responded with a poem, song or some other sort of entertainment. As well as Hawk¬ shaw could remember the programme went this way: “A Regular Blowout.” Pig Frede (Poem) “That Was 7 ' he Blow That Killed Father—The Time He Blowed Out The Gas.” Dink Hubby (Song) “Puffs and Whiffs.” Pete Wilson (Report) “Sand.” Magruddy Martin (Paper) “To Blow Or Not To Blow.” C. C. Crane (Poem) As the last number was finished the Sec. gave a mighty roar and cried, “What do the Angry Sandblowers Cry?” Whereupon they all answered, “Bring the new member on.” The Sergeant- at-Arms entered with none other than Sgt. Major King. It soon developed that he was to be ini¬ tiated into the mighty order. In order to obtain a better view, Hawkshaw tried to edge a little nearer. He was discovered. The alarm was given. The air was rent with the shrieks of the angry Sandblowers. They set up an awful blow. Hawkshaw simply passed out. Some eighteen hours later he waked up. The nurse was saying, “Try to look pleasant please. Your family wants a good one. In a few years all the sane will be gone from your eyes and people will not be saying those funny things about you. Hawkshaw! You were alright! But the Sand¬ blowers carried you out in a Gale.” Page J,23 Page Jt25 Thu Aggie ' j Traveling Old Flame Page Jf26 Page J 27 QZfje Batlp pullettn Vol.—2 Fingers.

The student body was thrown into a turmoil this morning by the piercing shrieks of the fire whistle. The main building was reported to be on fire. The Artillery rushed to the Fire Station and seized their thirty-six-inch invisible knock down kaLidoscope ladders and celluloid hats and started for the fire. The Cavalry and part of the Infantry grabbed their buckets and reported to the Flag Pole. The Signal Corps quickly arranged their Wireless apparatus and began sending word to the inmates of Bizzell Hall that there was a fire up on the Civilized part of the Campus. The only thing heard from the Casuals was, “Cut that noise out, it’s only 9:30 a. m. Whatinhell you waking me up for?’’ As soon as the Campus residents arrived upon the scene, the Commandant came out and told them to disperse. “It was a false alarm. There is no h ire.

SHAGGIELAND FIVE TOURS BRAZOS COUNTY Great Publicity Attained. After a three-hour tour which included all the big cities of Brazos County, the Shaggie- land Five returned to College last night about ten thirty. When playing for Dinner in Sbisa Hall, this bunch of far- famed “Joy Dispersers” are known as the College Orches¬ tra, but when they play for one of Skeeter’s Semi-Monthly Social Separators, they are known as “The Shaggieland Five.” The first stop was at the main gate. This was due to Cap Watkins having forgotten to fill up on gasoline during the noon hour. Cap said he filled up but not on gasoline. He forgot about the cars. The next stop was at Jones Cross¬ ing. They made a big hit there. The brakes would not hold and they hit a cow. A passerby asked them, “What- insamhill’s the matter with hit?” H. A. Rosenberg, the Ponzi of the Band replied, “What’s hit to you?” The passerby passed by. They proceeded on to Bryan. The entire population was out to meet them and to show them the way thru the city, to the next town. At Benchley they pleased another large crowd by not stopping there either, j They returned to College last night, “A sad but wiser Band of Musicians.” CAMPUS CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS Meets in Pfeuffer Apartments. The “Original Campus Club” met in Suite 13, Pfeuffer Apartments last night to elect officers for the next year. There were only three Charter members present, they being, Bugs Morris, Ben Beesley, and Sammie Sanders. The Constitution states specifically that the Charter members only may hold office. The oldest member shall hold the highest office and so on down. For that reason Beesley was elected “Chief Hooch Inspector.” The others claim that the Night Sergeant caught Beesley first. Morris was elected “Assistant Inspector” and poor Sammie had to be contented with being made “Chief Cork Puller.” Another member who is often seen wearing a Leather Coat was not present due to the inability of the Sergeant to send him an invitation. The Club has decided to meet every Satur¬ day Evening in the rotunda of the Main Building. The itch for office is usually the “Seven Year’s Itch.” In Paris they are wearing garters with bells. The men look to see where the noise comes from. Out at night, when a girl says she has cold hands she means hasn ' t cold feet.

To play a game of national fame, We called it a game, that would win us a name, But the Colonels called it a practice game, Even as Colonels can do. Oh! The plays they knew and the things they’d do, And the work of Bo and his clan, “It’s Gravy” said the Gink who slings pen and ink, But not a single Gink would stop and think, And of course, could not understand. Woodyard Kindling) A team there was and their plays they tried, Even as the Colonels did. On passes and fakes and end runs they relied, But most of them fell by the side, And at the end of the game the score wasn’t tied. Even as the Colonels tried. The Colonels were stripped of their world-wide fame, Only as Colonels can be. For they should have seen when they entered that game, That the “Texas Aggies,” they could not tame, But the Ginks said the Colonels were not to blame, Even as Colonels can be. Oh! There was no blame, and there was no shame, To sting the Colonels like brands red hot, For the Colonels knew full well, That the Aggies gave them Flell, And the Colonels were clearly outfought. A Letter From One of our Farmer Students. Dear Doc:— I see in the “Daily Error” that you are back in College. Stay there Doc. Some one asked me why you didn’t get out and give some one else a chance, and I told them you did. But look who came in while you were gone: Bill McMillan, Tanlac Strange, and lots of others. Heard you were intoxicated the other day. Too much of that “Orange-Crush.” We had a great baseball game over here the other day. The “Gumshoes” played the “Hard- hustlers.” The Gumshoes won because they stuck around more than usual. They won because of their physical condition. They just couldn’t be worn out. The score was tied in the last of the ninth. Did you ever hear of a score being untied? Cap Watkins was playing first base for the Gumshoes, but he said he was twice as good as they thought he was so he went to second base. It was a close game. So close that the umpire wore Leather Glasses to watch the Hot ones. In the early part of the game Wally Kraft had hit a home run with nine men on the bench. All of them scored but not on that hit. As Wally rounded third base he called out to answer the phone. The Entomology Students played center field and caught lots of flies. Green House Thomason covered the inner garden, while Dean Scoates took the Ag. Engineers to the outfield. Holik of the Shoe shop said, “Awl and Awl. It was a good game.’’ Chas. Nitch, the Tailor, was the Press Representative. The umpire got mad and called four balls on the batter who thought he was at an auction sale and he promptly raised him to four and a quarter. The game ended when the Bottle Brothers uncorked some good stuff, and then the Gumshoe Captain “saw” his chance and “filed” his first string out to untie the score. Well Doc!

Page Ji3 ( J That Famous Aggie “T” rr HE FIRST time this formation was ever attempted at A. M. College 1 was when “Runt Hanson” the Yell Leader of 1915-16 put it on during the famous “13-0” game between the Aggies and Texas U, in 1915. Since then it has been put on every year with some sort of change i n the method. Each time it was presented the spectators applauded. This year it reached the climax. Never has anything like it been seen in the way of stunts for College Rooters. The 1,600 khaki-clad Aggies file out of the stands and form in columns of six. Then they start off marching to the tune of “Pop Goes The Weasel.” March¬ ing under the Goal Posts they swing round and are divided into three groups, each being led by one of the Yell Leaders. It appears as though they are going to make a fluke of it, but pretty soon they present a monster “T”. At a given signal, they squat down. Rising slowly and making a hissing sound like a giant “Skyrocket” going thru the air they raise their hands above their heads. Then as if by magic, there appears a monster “T” half white and half maroon, the colors of the College. The Color scheme is obtained by each Cadet having a small Maroon handkerchief in one hand and a White one in the other. It simply knocks the spectators cold. The “Locomotive” yell is given from a standing position. At the utterance of each word of this yell the Cadets raise their hands above their heads and wave the different colored handkerchiefs. One-half raises white while the other half raise the maroon. Then they alternate. As the yell proceeds, it becomes faster, until soon there is a solid mass of Maroon and White. It is simple and easy when one has as willing a bunch of men to work with as the Yell Leaders of Texas A. M. College find in the Aggie Student Body. Page If 1 0 P ' Kje J J l jJUfi? ..... 3 V!

Dear Reader: How do you like our picture? Ain’t Cunny cute on those drums? He says he can’t be beat— but his drums can. But you can’t beat him and his drums together! Cunny says he likes his drums—in other words, they are equal to the occasion. Cunny supplies the occasion, hence by Geometry: Things equal to the same thing equal each other. Hence Cunny and his drums are equal to each other. The drums can be beat—but Cunny can’t! Ain’t it funny? Sol Bartlett on that “To and From” sets ’em afire. His music is as hot as a “depot stove.” It is true he slips on the music every now and then, but it comes back to him. No! Sol isn’t a Sandblower. He sits that way when he becomes excited. We de-Cline to write much about our Saxophone player. He says the reason he plays this instrument is because he held so many “Sax” that he got tired of “Phone” dates—hence he holds “Sax” or “phones” every day. He calls his girl “Sack” because he holds her so much. “Checkers” is “Wright” on that piano. He opens your heart with his keys. Whenever his music gets slow, someone yells “Stingaree”—and then they are off for the races like the Casuals are for Sunday Chapel since all were assigned seats. Buchan is also good “on the piano,” but he plays the banjo. This instrument is a cross between a “Kiodaflute” and a “Mazuzaphone.” Buck picks his music up pretty well. He has even written a song called “Easy Pickings.” We have not heard it yet. But we know if he plays it on the banjo he can’t blow it up. Dink Hubby can play Mendelssohn’s “Funeral March” in such a way that you will wish you were the “best man” or the corpse. When he gets to playing “Wabash Blues” his fingers look like a grasshopper with St. Vitus Dance. They won’t keep still. Taking this “Band of Musicians” together (for they won’t go separately), don’t you think them attractive? If you were such a “Band” as the “Aggieland” what would you take for your¬ self? Yours musically, THE AGGIELAND SIX. Dear Aggielanders: If I were a Band like yours—do you know what I’d take for myself—? Strychnine! A GENTLE READER. Page 75 Tine Editor’s ©wm Back Yard VERY wise man once made the remark, which is admittedly true, that everything must A % have an end. If the B. M. (Business Manager) hadn’t run short of funds, this wouldn’t be the end of the Longhorn. But he did and it is. This page is usually the place for much self-depreciation and reminiscence of midnight oil, gray hairs, wrinkles, bloody sweat, and the like on the part of the Editor. But the Editor of this particular volume is rather proud of the fact that he managed to put out a rather large compila¬ tion with so little work. Of course, he occasionally heard the Owl come thru and he managed to slip in a nightmare or two. But his roommate states very frankly that the poor fellow burned more midnight electricity, worried more silver into his hair and dents in his forehead, and talked more in his sleep over a certain girl than over this Longhorn. This is the end, and the end of all things is usually frank. In frankness, then, let him tell you how he did it. He worked the other fellow. In the beginning, e very Editor of a book was made responsible for his book. In its planning, he helped; in its details, he collaborated; in its work—he did it! Only in that way could the Editor hope to pass Chemistry. In no other way could a book be produced that was not a reflection of one man, but truly representative of A. and M. So, if you like any part of this Long¬ horn, tell the Editor who had charge of that particular Book. He is responsible. The last copy sheet has been numbered and checked, and is ready to go in. Only this one remains—and the work is done. We wish only that we might plan and gather together another Longhorn. We would not have you think that this volume was conceived in pain and executed in drudgery. Never was a work more willingly and cheerfully done—no, even lovingly done. We have thought of this book as a great mouthpiece thru which should speak the spirit of A. and M. How much we wanted that it should speak truly and adequately! How we have tried to tune our ears to catch the voice of that spirit, and then plan and work to transmute it into these pages where it might live when our happy days here are ended. Can such work be drudgery? We think it a privilege. And now that it is over, and the last word is to be written, it is not in us to be very gay. Our work is done and we feel very useless now. May you read it with as much happiness as we have found in its creation. May it mean to you—A. and M.!

Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development beginsintheResearchLaboratories. Here t he ruling spirit is one of knowledge— truth—rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories—tools for futureuse—which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battleships, the trolley cars and electrified railways that carry millions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the householdconveniencesthathaverelieved women of drudgery, the labor-saving elec¬ trical tools of factories, all owe their ex¬ istence, partly at least, totheco-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway. r General Office (Com r _ IF MARINE ELECTRIFICATION MATERIAL HANDUNC FARM ELECTRIFICATION Page 1,78 V IB ■g g trgrlZ Z Queen and Dixie Theatres Bryan, Texas Modern motion picture playhouses where Bryan and College people are entertained with only the best.
