THEN we think of our College we do not realize that it represents a comparatively recent experiment in education and that it is the result of only a few years of growth and de¬ velopment. We are prone to accept things as they are, benefit by them, and pass on and are too little concerned with the past as it bears on the present and future. Since the “Longhorn” is intended to be representative of A. and M., it can do no better than to give us all the best possible understanding of the problems and the achievements of the men who built this College. A deeper appreciation of their work and a greater love for our school should be the result. This history is written with the hope that a knowledge of the past will lead to a better grasp of the present and a greater interest in the future. Hon. Justin S. Murrell, an able Vermont Congressman, first conceived the system of land grant colleges, of which we are a part. In 1853 he introduced a congressional bill providing for the establishment of such a system upon a land grant basis. His plan involved the granting of 20,000 acres of public land to each member of Congress for the purpose of promoting technical education in this state. Evidently President Buchanan considered the step as too great a de¬ viation from the then accepted classical ideals of education, for he vetoed the bill after it had received congressional approval. The matter was not resumed under Buchanan’s administration. On July 2, 1862, however, Congress passed a very similar bill appropriating 30,000 acres of public land for each congress¬ man to apply in the interest of education in his state, a bill which Lincoln approved. The col¬ leges thus established were to be primarily for the benefit of the agricultural and mechanical sciences, as they were then known, though it was understood that the liberal arts were not to be totally excluded. In the beginning the greatest stress was laid on agriculture. After the Cen¬ tennial Exposition in Philadelphia, however, practical shop work gained increasing popularity because of a valuable exhibition of such work which Russia made at the Exposition. On November 1, 1866, the Texas Legislature formally approved the Congressional Bill and agreed to abide by its provisions. Shortly thereafter Congress issued land scrip for 180,000 acres to Texas. This was sold for 8174,000 and invested in Texas gold frontier bonds to form the fund whose interest is helping to maintain our College today. Little further action was taken until the spring of 1871. The Legislature then added 8187,000 to the congressional ap¬ propriation and named a commission which it entrusted with the task of locating the proposed Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. After a lengthy consideration of offers from various parts of the State, the commission decided on the divide between the Navasota and Brazos rivers as the best site for the new institution. The citizens of Brazos County had agreed to add 2,416 acres of land there located to the endowment of Congress and thus secured the location of the College. Five years later the Constitutional convention designated the College as a technical branch of Texas University, a measure which entitled it to share a land grant of one million acres with that institution. The body then vested in the Legislature the right to levy such taxes as might be necessary to fill the needs of the Institution, and everything was in readi¬ ness to make the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas a reality. On October 4, 1876, our College was formally opened. According to Professor R. P. W. Morris, the first commandant, six students reported on that memorable day and, as there were six professors, each student received all the personal attention that he needed. Difficult prob¬ lems were not long in presenting themselves. The Board of Directors, composed of Governor Coke, Lieutenant-Governor R. B. Hubbard, Guy M. Bryan, Speaker of the House, B. H. Davis, and C. S. West were inexperienced and had no precedents to govern them. They had found it Pane l 7 Texas A. and M.===Continned difficult to find instructors, and now they found it as difficult to fashion a college machine which differed radically in many respects from the systems they knew. With such details as this apparently settled the new college finally got under way. Soon, however, as a result of the inexperience of the founders, a greater trouble sprang up. The people of Texas assumed an antagonistic attitude toward A. and M. and turned the full force of public opinion against it. There were two reasons for this somewhat unreasonable opposition: It is not difficult to understand why the new college was at first considered a good reform school. The idea of a college of agricultural and mechanic arts with military science suggested, when compared with that of a classical college, the work and the discipline which uncontrollable youths required. It requires almost a stretch of the imagination to realize that this first opinion was modified in a very few years. A reorganization of the college brought about this change of opinion. After the old system had endured for three years it was superseded by the reorganized College. The first faculty was released in 1872 on the charge of inefficiency. In the report of the situation President John G. James, successor of Thos. L. Gatbright, the first president, ex¬ plained that the system under which the College had been operating did not elevate the studies in agriculture and mechanics to the place which was theirs under the law and consequently left the State liable to a loss of Federal assistance since it was a bound trustee. That would, of course, have meant the end of A. and M. The instructors were even accused of fostering antagonism toward the agricultural and mechanical arts and of attempting to make the institution a literary school with a prominent military organization. The College, as has been mentioned, had many opponents, some of whom disliked it because of the fact that it was a new experiment and others who were disappointed because it was only new in name. One of these groups should have been friendly to the institution but very unfortunate circumstances combined them against the Col¬ lege. The university plan of organization, that is, elective studies, in connection with the then prevailing sentiment for classical colleges, defeated the purpose of A. and M. in the beginning. President John G. James proposed a new system that would bring the proper subjects, agriculture and mechanics, to the place which the law provided for them. Under the new system more tech¬ nical subjects were taught and practice classes were made compulsory, an unheard-of rule before the former faculty had been dismissed. The arguments for compulsory attendance to practice classes were two in number. As seen by the President, castes would be broken down if students were compelled to attend practice classes. The second reason is obviously one of increased effi¬ ciency. On utilitarian grounds the students should be made to attend. In an attempt to dispel the fallacious idea prevalent that the school was a reformatory, it was made plain that the prac¬ tice classes came under the curriculum and that the students were not paid to attend them. Student labor was organized for those students who had the time and the skill required to work for the college. Here also we fiist hear of our now very popular fatigue uniform which was sug¬ gested for the purpose of reducing the expense of clothing. Another great change was the one made in the curriculum of the college. The first organiza¬ tion had made four divisions: a course in Agriculture, a course in Mechanics and Engineering, a course in Languages and Literature, and a course in Military Tactics. The course in Language and Literature included commercial subjects, ancient and modern languages and English, and Philosophy. The purpose of this course was to fit men to be editors, publishers and teachers in institutions of higher learning. The system allowed too great a freedom in the election of super¬ ficial subjects. By this system of election the number of classes taught and, consequently, the expenses incurred, were greatly increased. The reorganization left only a vestige of the old clas¬ sical type of education in the form of courses in English language; in history and literature; in German language and literature; in philosophy and political economy; in elocution, and in dec¬ lamation and composition. The time allotted made it evident that their purpose was simply that of supplementing technical training. Page 18 ur Texas A. and M.===Contiiiiied The report of the President and the changes in the college restored the confidence of many who had begun to doubt the practicability of a school of applied science. This was the actual beginning of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas as we know it, and its success dates from this reorganization to the present day. There was a change of heart among the people of Texas from the opening of the college to 1895. An interesting notation in the first annual of the College gives us an understanding of the new attitude of the people. The fear is expressed that the College will get only a new mess hall, a student labor fund and a new laboratory; then the to us absurd statement is made that the future is indefinite. Today we would be elated over such prospects as those. The friendly spirit of the contemporary legislature was fostered by the report of a legislative committee sent to examine the college. In 1888 the Experiment Station was established. It was first mentioned in connection with the benefits that the school of Agriculture received from it, but this was no actual measure of the good it did as we now know. A $30,000 endowment was made by the Federal Government under provision for two equal appropriations, the Hatch and Adams Funds, the former of which was to be used for any type of experiment while the latter was intended for only original experiments. The State has supplemented these funds since the establishment of the Experiment Station until now Texas is paying for the major portion of the experimental work. This State assistance has made possible a great growth beginning with the founding of the first substation in 1898. The number of substations is now fourteen, making this the largest system of its kind in the world. It was at this time that the Federal Government contributed another aid to the land grant colleges. On July 30, 1890, an act was approved granting to each of these colleges $15,000 and providing that this sum with an additional $1,000 should be paid each year until 1900, after which time the final sum of $25,000 should be paid annually. This Federal and State Government as¬ sistance and the newly acquired popularity with the people were of prime importance in the subse¬ quent growth of the college. Again in 1907 the Federal Government appropriated $5,000, which sum was to be paid with an increase of $5,000 each year for five years. At the end of that time the Government was paying the sum of $50,000, which it continues to pay at the present time. In 1914 Dr. W. B. Bizzell came to A. and M. from C. I. A. and immediately began his efforts to better the facilities and genera] conditions at the College. This progress was interrupted, however, by the World War. The events leading up to this conflict are familiar to everyone; we will therefore consider only the direct results of the war on A. and M. The instruction in Military Science had grown apace with the other divisions of the College and at the opening of the war there were twelve companies on the campus. But there was much besides men that the College had to offer, so the Faculty, on March 21, 1917, drew up a declara¬ tion to the following effect. The College facilities including personnel were to be turned over to the United States Government and the Governor and the Legislature requested to assure un¬ diminished appropriations even though educational activities had to be suspended. The Board of Directors approved the resolution. On the day following our entry into the war the military instruction was increased to ten hours each week. All seniors whose class standing was satisfactory and who were intending to enter the army or navy were graduated on the Faculty’s recommendation. Dr. W. B. Bizzell appointed a committee on organization for national defense which was to act also as a committee on research. The Government accepted the offer made by the College and before October, 1918, had trained two thousand men in signal work and air service. Many of the instructors had re¬ signed to join the army but were simply sent back to train the soldiers, while those who had not resigned offered their services free, some of the latter men entering experimental work in the labora¬ tories. These men were among the true heroes of the war. Instructing the soldier was not the same problem as teaching a college man in peace times. The soldier had to be taught thoroughly; there was no grading or rating to be made—every man had to be trained. Four hundred of the Page iq Texas A. and M.===Contiiined first meterologists ever trained by any government were given instruction in the Civil Engineer¬ ing Building. Numbers of mechanics and technicians were trained also. The epidemic of in¬ fluenza made the situation an ordeal for the College officials and the men who were stationed here. The fundamental mission of the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College has been to give to its students a generous education fitting them to perform justly and skillfully all the offices of peace and war. The A. and M. men in the World War proved conclusively that our College had adequately fulfilled the latter part of this mission. A nation-wide investigation by the New York Times disclosed the fact that forty-nine per cent of all the men that A. and M. had ever graduated were engaged in the active defense of their country, a larger percentage than that of any other university or college in the land, with the sole exceptions of West Point and the Naval Academy. The Service Flag in Guion Hall, the trees around the parade ground, and the monu¬ ment dedicated to our war dead last year tell their significant story to all those willing to pause and think. If we have reason to be proud of what A. and M. does for the nation in time of peace, we have much more reason to be proud of what she did in time of war. Since the war there has been a very rapid development. The student body has increased from 1,758 in 1918 to 2,240 at the present time. The military organization, which before the war consisted of infantry only, was carried through the war in the form of the S. A. T. C. and now is known as the R. O. T. C., which includes infantry, field artillery, signal corps, cavalry, and air service units. All of these branches are thoroughly equipped. There wafe some confusion immediately after the war, but with the co-operation of the War Department the College was placed on the old plane of efficiency. The principal evidence of the growth of the College in the years since the war lies in the present good it does for the State. The measure of its worth is the opportunity it offers the farm¬ ers to better their position economically, socially, and educationally. The Extension Service parcels out useful information to the agriculturalist and his family. The many short courses given during the summer make it possible for men of small means to get valuable training in mechanical and agricultural subjects and take only a small part of their time in this training- The Texas Engineering Experiment Station which has been in existence since 1914 and which is composed of the entire teaching force of all the engineering departments and the department of architecture, physics and economics has contributed considerably to the engineering knowledge in the State. Because of the policy of advancing money to needy students the College offers a wonderful opportunity to ambitious men, many of whom are now getting their College education and paying for it by summer work and student labor. A striking feature of the College is the absence of the caste feeling which President John G. James so much feared. The future holds for this College a prospect of real success: the success of making a technical education a cultural education, and giving to the technical student enough of the recreation and sports due a college man to counterbalance the monotony of equations with which he is so in¬ timately associated. This purpose is accomplished in part by the new School of Arts and Sciences. Many students mourn the passing of the good old days and are utterly horrified by the thought of A. and M. being a co-educational College; custom has that powerful hold. However, advance¬ ment never comes through this conservative type of man; we will look to the men with ideas of originality for our expansion. The extension of athletic training proposed and put into effect this year is another great forward step. Certainly the prospect of actually building what the college has had the name of building, namely, men, is considerably better. It is our hope that this history will awaken in its readers a sense of respect and admiration for A. and M. We have presented here a record free from blemishes and marked by a singularly consistent progress toward an ideal. We must not falter because that ideal is far in the future. Each graduating class adds to the success of the College as does each generation in the world add to civilization. We desire our class and all succeeding classes to contribute their share. The past is secure, but the present and the more important future are in our hands. Page 20 Administration William Bennett Bizzell, Ph. D., D. C. L., LL. D. President Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas Page 22 Greetings to the Senior Class T TH the publication of this volume of the Longhorn another chapter in the history of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas comes to a close. The achievements of another class become a part of the permanent records of the institution. have The contents of this volume are not only an expression of the ideals of the class that is completing its work, but there is revealed within these pages much of the life and activities of the class and their accomplishments through the years of their college residence. College life today comprehends a multitude of activities. The routine of textbook preparation, attendance upon recitations and lectures, and long hours of laboratory exercises constitute only a part of the busy life of the student. A thousand and one activities, including athletic events, memorable social occasions, unusual experiences that can occur nowhere else but in college hll the student’s life with interesting events and crowd his mind with memories that will enrich his experience through all future years. A college annual serves the purpose of epitomizing the activities and experiences of campus life. As the passing years tend to dim the memories of these cherished events the college man from time to time will turn back to the pages of his annual and refresh his memory with the incidents of these memorable days. This volume of the Longhorn will become increasingly indispensable as a souvenir of college days. The members of the Class of 1925, as well as the rest of us, will look to these pages in after years and recall with tender memories our association together. The members of this class will take from academic corridors and class rooms the blessings and the prayers of those of us who have known you during your college days. We shall watch your progress as you climb the ladder of success. Our faith in your future is fortified by our knowledge of your high purposes and line aspirations while you were in college. As the reports of your successes come to us from time to time in future years, we shall turn back to the Longhorn of 1925 and recall some of our associations together and then give thanks to the God Who directs the destinies of men and gives them courage, fidelity of purpose and devotion to duty, and for His goodness to the loyal sons of A. and M. Faithfully yours, W. B. Bizzell, President of the College. Page 23 Page 24 School of Engineerin: F. C.

The courses of study are arranged with the idea of producing graduates who are as competent in solving the problems of their country and their life as they are in solving the problems of their particular occu¬ pation and who, at the same time, are well versed in the finer arts to appre¬ ciate and encourage culture and education.

Assistant Professor LIE curricula for the courses in Architecture and Architectural Engi¬ neering arc now identical for the first two years, and it is accordingly pos¬ sible for any prospective student who desires to enter the architectural field, but who is uncertain about the direction in which his abilities lie, to defer making his choice of courses until the end of the second year. By that time his leanings toward one side or the other will be established. In these days architecture is a very broad calling. It is essentially a fine art, the art of building beautifully, but one which deals with such large structures that the engineer must be called in to insure the stability of the designer’s creations. Then, the utilities which are put into mod¬ ern buildings are so much more complex than was formerly the case that it is hardly to be expected that one mind should be able to solve satisfac¬ torily all the problems. These problems tend to run into two groups: The problems of design, for appearance and arrangement of parts, and the struc¬ tural and mechanical problems which have to do with its stability, use¬ fulness, and comfort. The department has a number of signed drawings and color renderings, an ample library of valuable books, several thousand plates in ring books, a lantern and slides, and a number of well chosen casts—to all of which additions are being made constantly. Students of architecture have, ol course, access to the equipment of other departments in which they are taking work. Page 26 Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Hi [7 4 vM C. C. Hedges . M. K.

Head of Department JpHE Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering not only serves as a service department in connection with other courses but prepares men for technical work in those industries in which raw materials undergo a chemical change in the process of manufacture. Many helels are open to students trained i n applied chemistry, and inquiries are continually being received asking for men capable of filling important positions in differ¬ ent industries. Some industries important to the present and future de¬ velopment of this State are those dealing with cottonseed products, sugar, leather, petroleum, cement, ceramics, and iron and steel. The analytical chemistry given in the course is sufficient to enable the graduate to engage in the work of a commercial plant or to enter in an industrial plant as a control chemist. The control chemist repeatedly analyzes and evaluates the raw material used in the manufacture as well as the intermediate and finished products. It is through such control that industries of this kind have been made scientific. Pure food laws, and other legal enactments calculated to protect the people against fraud, have, of late years, greatly accentuated the importance of this work. At the same time enough work is given in gen¬ eral 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 in¬ dustry in which he is engaged.

Head of Department HE Department of Civil Engineering was established in 1887 and in the thirty-seven years of its existence it has grown from a one-man department to one now including nine teachers. A total of something over five hundred graduates in civil engineering are now engaged in putting into practice the principles learned while at A. M. Most of these grad¬ uates are in engineering work or in other lines closely allied to engineering and are assisting in developing the resources of the State which made their technical training possible. The purpose of the technical instruction in the course of Civil Engineer¬ ing is to train the student in clear thinking and in self-reliance, to the end that he may be able to attain the higher positions in the engineering profes¬ sion; also to give him such information anel such skill in elementary design, drafting, surveying and the like that he will be able to serve an employer acceptably immediately after graduation. The laboratories and equipment for carrying out this purpose are not excelled by any technical school in the South or Southwest. The highway laboratory in particular is espe¬ cially well equipped and the popularity of the highway engineering option for seniors has doubtless been largely due to the excellent facilities offered for the study of highway materials.

Bolton, B. S. Dean of Department course in Electrical Engineering was established twenty years ago. At that time the electrical industry in Texas was in its infancy and the number of students interested in preparing themselves to become elec¬ trical engineers was small. Since that time more than 360 young men have received their degrees in Electrical Engineering from the College and may be found holding positions of responsibility in engineering fields in the State and the Nation—where their work is returning to the State many times the investment it made in their education. To no small degree are the graduates from this College responsible for the rapid development of the electrical industry in Texas. The course has been strengthened from time to time to keep pace with the development in the field of electricity. By a close contact with its graduates and through the co-operation of the leaders in the industry in Texas, the Department of Electrical Engineering has so organized its courses of instruction as to make it possible for its graduates to hold an enviable reputation as electrical engineers. As at present constituted, the course gives both a thorough ground¬ ing in general engineering subjects and in the technical problems of the electrical field, and also in the economic problems of the electrical industry. The Department of Electrical Engineering occupies the Electrical Engineering Building, a fireproof structure containing three well-equipped dynamo laboratories, three laboratories for study and use of more delicate electrical measuring instruments, a communication laboratory, besides class rooms, lecture rooms, store rooms, and offices. The equipment for un¬ dergraduate work compares favorably with that of any institution in the country. A radio station equipped for both radio telephony and teleg¬ raphy is maintained and supplements the work of the laboratories, be¬ sides being used for a regular broadcast program.

Professor Professor Associate Professor HILE the Freshmen Engineering students think of the Mechanical Engineering Shops as the Mechanical Engineering Department, those who reach a higher estate realize that the work of this department cov¬ ers technical and analytical work requiring much careful study for its mastery. The value of these subjects is being more and more appreciated as is attested by the increasing demands of other courses of study for sub¬ jects in Mechanical Engineering. No student seeking a “crip” pursues the Mechanical Engineering Course. Those who complete this course are conscious of having ac¬ complished something; with the result th at they are well prepared to go out into the industries, take their places among competitors, and meet the test of actual work with confidence and success. This year has seen a number of changes in the personnel of the teaching- staff; but the resulting combination is a well-balanced organization which is the strongest in the history of the Department. The physical equipment consists of three buildings and their contents. Two of these buildings—the class room building and the shops building— are all that could be expected. The third building, while only a crude and unsatisfactory old brick structure, is filled with a well-balanced assortment of equipment admirably suited to the purpose of instructing students in methods of testing. After all, the real test of the value of a Department and of a course is the degree to which its students meet the demands of practical work; and mechanical engineering graduat es make good.

Head of Department the increased interest in thejState during the past two years in the textile industry, has come an increase of students taking the Textile Engineering Course. Their objective is primarily to superintend and manage cotton mills, although allied fields are open for those preferring those avenues of employment. Changes in the course of instruction have strengthened the fundamental engineering subjects and a course in vocational teaching has been added to better fit the student for the part he is to play in the mill organization that he is to enter. A new course in Cotton Marketing and Classing has been added and offered this year for the first time. It has attracted a large registration and is intended to prepare young men for the cotton-buying business. The Six Weeks’ Summer Cotton Course has for a number of years been a feature of this Department. It has enrolled many young men who have en¬ tered the commercial cotton world and quite a number of mature men who have bought cotton for a number of years who wished to broaden their education along this line. The teaching staff for this year in the Textile Engineering Department has been as follows: Professor J. B. Bagley, Associate Professor L. E. Dowd, and F. E. Lichte, Instructor Clyde Foster.

Head of Department Agricultural Engineering may be defined as the art and science of engineering as applied to agriculture. Agriculture itself, more generally speaking, involves the production and marketing of various crops and livestock, but intertwined in these processes and directly connected with them are certain problems of a strictly engineering nature. The aim and scope of agricultural engineering is, therefore, extremely broad, and in order to thoroughly cover the field this depart¬ ment offers courses as follows: Farm Buildings Irrigation Farm Shop Work Farm Concrete Agricultural Surveying and Drainage Farm Machinery Automobiles and Trucks Special Short Courses in Automobiles and ' Tractors Genetics E.

It is primarily concerned, therefore, with studies of variation and heredity- The courses in the Department of Genetics treat of Variation, statistical measurement of variation, theories of evolution, the factor hypothesis of heredity, and the theoretical effects of inbreeding and outbreeding.

Professor, Head of Department Associate Professor Assistant Professor Assistant Professor Instructor The Agronomy Department is responsible for the instruction in soils, fertilizers, and farm crops. 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 the advanced instruction which deals primarily with the recent literature of the subject and the results of the outstanding investigations in 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 farm crops; the care and management of barnyard manure, and the proper utilization of green manure in soil improvement. The instruction in farm crops is subdivided into three divisions, namely: field crops, forage crops, and fiber crops. These crops are studied with reference to their structure, composition, races, and varie ties, tillage practices, harvesting, and marketing. Animal iriusbandry Department D. W. Williams W. L.

Associate Professor HP HE Department of Horticulture includes three major divisions: Fruit Growing, Vegetable Gar¬ dening, and Landscape Art. To carry on its work, it has approximately sixty acres of land given over to the growing of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and orna¬ mental shrubs and trees. A modern greenhouse, 25x65 ft., is used largely by students in Plant Propagation and Vegetable Gardening, while a smaller house, 18x60 ft., is used primarily for de¬ partmental purposes. Concrete and wooden hotbeds and cold frames take care of additional vegetables and flowers, at the same time giving the student practical experience in all types of glass structures. Five labora¬ tories give opportunity for more intensive work. These laboratories are well equipped, more especially the landscape drafting room. A library espe¬ cially strong in bulletins pertaining to all phases of Horticulture and a cold storage plant, completes the physical equipment of the Department. Page 35 E. J. Kyle, B. S., B. S.

College is planned to give reliable in¬ struction in feeding, housing, breeding, showing, incubating, and brooding chickens. It is organized to give general instruction in Farm Poultry, as well as more technical knowledge to those wishing to specialize in the poultry business. It is also the function of the department to keep for observation good specimens of the common breeds of poultry in addition to others which are rare and beautiful. The stock on the Poultry Farm consists of representatives of twenty-seven varieties of chickens, six varieties of waterfowl, four of pigeons, and four of rare birds. The best White Leghorn on the farm has a record of 282 eggs in a year, and the best Barred Rock a record of 265 eggs in a year. The new Poultry Administration Building on the farm is now completed and is a credit to the College. It will be used for practice work in Incubating, Feed¬ ing, Egg Grading, and Experimental Brooding of Poultry. m. eMzmmmmmmmmmmmmm S. W. Bilsing, M. A. Head of Department The Courses in the Department of Entomology are arranged with a threefold purpose. The first course is devised with the idea of acquainting students with the systematic position of insects and their inter-relationship. After the student has acquired an adequate idea of the relationship of insects he may choose courses which will apply to the sp ecial line of Agriculture in which he is most interested. These courses include a life-history study of most important insects afifecting cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sorghums, and vegetables. In addition, the student may study insects affecting man and domestic animals, and the role they play in the carriage of disease. Those most interested in beekeeping, from either the commercial stand¬ point or as a side line, have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with that subject. This Department is well equipped with modern bee equipment and is fitted to give special training in that industry. Finally, the Department of Entomology also trains men to be technical ento¬ mologists. There is ample opportunity for men such as inspectors in pink boll worm work, nursery inspection, and bee instruction work. Government and State experimental stations also offer opportunity to men who are well trained in entomological work. S. W. Bilsing R. K. Fletcher V. A.

The various courses are designed to give the student an in¬ sight into the broad principles which underlie the living activities of the or¬ ganisms e mbraced in the several fields. The effort to acquire a satisfactory knowledge, by his own observation of the build and working of the living thing is carefully fostered. Agricultural Economics np HE Department of Agricultural Economics constitutes the hub of the Four-Year Course in Agricultural Administration. This Course is designed to train men for the commercial side of agriculture rather than for that part of agriculture which relates primarily to the scientific grow¬ ing of crops and livestock. However, every student taking the Course is required to take enough work in the physical and biological sciences un¬ derlying agriculture to thoroughly acquaint himself with the physical aspects of the farm business.

In other words, the special fields assigned to this depart¬ ment are various questions of human welfare and institutional relationships, especial the rural aspects of these questions. The most important products of the State—its boys and girls—and the vari¬ ous conditions determining whether they are to have a fair chance in life are the big interests of the Department. Professor W. E. Garnett Head of Department Page 37 Tlie School of Vocational Teaching In the School of Vocational Teaching there are offered the following courses: Course in Agricultural Education. Course in Industrial Education. Course in Rural Education. Course in Agricultural Education np HE purpose of the course in Agricultural Education is to prepare teachers of agriculture in the secondary schools and supervisors and directors of vocational agriculture as carried on under the Smith-Hughes act. A study of the fundamental principles in the main divisions of agriculture, and a minimum of professional training and practice teaching are required. Con¬ siderable opportunity is given the student by means of the electives for choice of subjects. Course in Industrial Education The course in Industrial Education has for its purpose the prepara¬ tion of men for the secondary schools and the training of instructor-execu¬ tives for the industries. Graduates of this course will be prepared to teach the related and industrial work given in the high schools of the State and to direct or supervise industrial education in large city school systems and industrial plants. The course requires contact with a wide range of trades through its shop work and a liberal education in science, mathematics and English. Thorough preparation in the art of teaching and supervising is af¬ forded. The wide range of electives gives the student an opportunity to special¬ ize in any of the engineering departments in order to fit himself for a definite position as manual training instructor in the junior and senior high schools, related subjects teacher, trade instructor, co-ordinator, vocational director or instructor-executive in industry. Course in Rural Education This course was organized in response to a growing demand for prin¬ cipals of rural schools who have had the benefit of an agricultural college education in their preparation for leadership in the solution of rural life problems. In compliance with the State Teachers’ Certificate Law, a student in this course may qualify (1) for a “Four-year Elementary School Certificate” upon the completion of one year of college work, (2) fora “Four- year High School Certificate” upon the completion of two years of college work, (3) a “Permanent High School Certificate” upon the completion of the four-year course.

Med. and Surgery Associate Professor Associate Professor Associate Professor r jp HE one fundamental purpose of the School of Veterinary Medicine at A. and M. College is the protection of the five hundred million dollars which Texan farmers and Texan ranchmen have invested in the livestock of this State. The School was established to produce men technically trained to combat the annual national loss of some two hundred million dollars caused by preventable diseases of our livestock. To do this most efficiently they must know how to prevent disease as well as how to cure it. This carries with it the need for diligent scientific research to gain knowledge, and the intensive practical application of that knowledge after it has been gained. As the years pass and the people become more en¬ lightened, the tremendous importance of this profession will become more and more recognized. Page 39 The School of Arts and Sciences Charles E. Friley Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences JpHE work of the School of Arts and Sciences has been planned with the following purposes in view: 1. To provide a liberal education for students who have not made a definite decision regarding their life work, and who desire a broad foundation for further education, or adequate preparation for en¬ lightened citizenship. The program of studies, espe¬ cially in the upper years, will be shaped to meet the needs and aptitudes of the individual student. 2. To prepare students for research along scien¬ tific lines, by means of thorough instruction in the sci¬ ences of biology, chemistry, entomology, geology, mathematics, and physics, especially as they relate to agriculture, engineering, and other industries. 3. To offer the necessary fundamental preparation for students who are planning to enter the profession of medicine and law. 4. In co-operation with the School of Vocational Education, to train teachers of science, mathematics, English, foreign languages, history, and physical education for the positions in secondary schools and other institu¬ tions of learning. 5. To serve the co-ordinate schools of Agriculture, Engineering, Vet¬ erinary Medicine, and Vocational Teaching, through instruction in the basic sciences and other fundamental studies required in the technical courses offered by the College. 6. The School of Arts and Sciences includes the following depart¬ ments: Biology (botany, zoology and bacteriology); Chemistry; Eco¬ nomics; English Language and Literature; Geology; History (including citizenship and government); Mathematics; Military Science; Modern Languages (French, German, and Spanish); Physical Education; Physics. Courses in the Departments of Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Education, Drawing, Entomology, Genetics, and Rural Sociology, and other divisions of the College will also be open to students in the School of Arts and Sciences. The School of Arts and Sciences offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and the degree of Bachelor of Science. Faye 40 The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System B. Youngblood, M. S., Ph. D.

It is the business of any research agency to carefully project its work, employ suitable methods, accurately record and interpret the facts at hand, and possibly also to suggest practical applications of any knowledge thus gained. Actual knowledge, not vague theories or mere observations, is the only sound means of overcoming the obstacles in the way of our State and National welfare. The farmers and the stockmen are confronted with a mul¬ titude of obstacles which become the problems of the agricultural scientists in this and other states. The public recognizes that it is to the benefit cf all society for the farmers’ and the stock- men’s problems to be solved at public expense, partly because of the inability of the farmers and the stockmen to solve these problems themselves and partly because of the great expense involved. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System recognizes its function and its duty to make Page 41 Tlie Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System applications of the several sciences to the problems of agriculture, through the use of appropriate methods, with a view to the development of information which may be put into harness on Texas farms and ranches, to the end that suitable progress in agricultural industry may be realized. The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station System is organized into a Main Station, fifteen subordinate substations, and six field laboratories for definite research. There are seventeen divisions of research on the Main Station, and the substations are located in representative agri- cultural regions of the State wherein specific problems may be inquired into under natural con¬ ditions. The field laboratories are situated in appropriate localities for the conduct of research into specific problems. Five of these laboratories are designed for beekeeping studies, and one is for field research into the cause and possible correction of the deadly loin disease of cattle. The Station System renders service to farmers, stockmen, and agriculture in general, through the distribution of newly introduced or developed strains of animals and valuable plants. In 1900 Sudan grass and feterita were thus introduced into Texas, and now the Sudan grass crop in the United States is valued at fifteen million dollars per annum, and now, including feterita, the grain sorghums in Texas produce more than forty million bushels of grain per annum. Other examples include the development and distribution of Spur feterita, a superior selection of fe¬ terita which has now practically replaced the common strain in Texas; the development and distribution of Blackhul Kafir, 1953; the development of the Nessberry, a valuable hy¬ brid dewberry-raspberry; the development of an unusually high-yielding peanut at Nacogdo¬ ches; the introduction and the propagation of the Chinese elm which has proved to be a valuable tree for a large po rtion of the State; the distribution of the Arizona cypress, a valuable tree for West and Northwest Texas; the development of a pedigreed strain of White Leghorn chickens, based upon the actual results of high egg production; the distribution of pedigreed queen bees, and other cases. Another class of service rendered by the Station System is the dissemination of principles which are useful to farmers and stockmen and of value in the development of the agricultural resources of the State. Some examples of this type of service are the development and dissem¬ ination of the principles underlying the economic operation of ranches and ranch lands, a matter of special importance in Texas, since 73 per cent of the landed area of the State is grazed; the development and dissemination of principles underlying the production of cotton in the semi- humid region of the State, in which is situated 29 per cent of the landed area of the State now free from boll weevil; the development and dissemination of principles underlying the improvement of wool production in sheep and of mohair production in Angora goats, based upon systematic studies of the weights of fieeces and other hereditary character in relation to environment; the development and dissemination of principles underlying the spread and the control of cotton root rot, a disease which annually causes losses in Texas estimated at not less than fifteen million dollars; the development and dissemination of principles relating to the feeding values of plants and plant products, and many other similar achievements. The Station System is contributing in a large measure to the general store of agricultural knowledge used in the classroom and disseminated to the people of the State through the resident teaching and the extension branches of the College. General principles developed from bodies of facts are useful, though the chief supply of agricultural knowledge comes from the publication of detailed data concerning certain points and the establishment of certain facts with scientific accuracy, all of which information is subsequently incorporated in textbooks as the basis of edu¬ cation in agriculture. On account of the size of the State and the wide diversity of climatic and soil conditions, there is in Texas an urgent need of agricultural knowledge applicable to local conditions, and that this information has been developed and given to the people of the State through the regular agri¬ cultural research agency is indicated by the 390 publications which have been issued by the Sta¬ tion System since its organization in January of 1888. There has been a gradual increase in the amount of public support which the Station System has received as the results of its researches became available and were found to be of service to agricultural enterprise, and the organization has grown in public favor proportionately with the gradual increase in the efficiency with which agricultural knowledge is developed and disseminated throughout the population of the com¬ monwealth. Page 42 Texas Engineering Experiment Station HE Texas Engineering Experiment Station was established by act of the Board of Directors of the College in the summer of 1914. Its func¬ tion is to conduct experiments, make experimental tests, and to do research work of an engineering nature, that will help to solve technical mechanical problems of the industries. For several years no funds were made available for the work of the station. During recent years a very small appropriation has been set aside for the expenses of the station; but none is available for employing a staff. Notwithstanding these unfavorable circumstances, a number of in¬ vestigations have been conducted and bulletins written by members of the engineering teaching force, who receive no direct compensation for this work, but who simultaneously carry on their regular teaching work. The teaching staff of the Engineering School constitutes the member¬ ship of the station staff. The advisory council consists of the heads of major departments of the Engineering School. E. J. Fermier, Director of the Station, is also head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The thirty bulletins issued have been distributed freely upon request to the Director. As a result, the supply of many is exhausted. Page 43 Extension Service ■■ Miss Bess Edwards, Assistant Home Demonstration Agent T. O. Walton H. H.

Walton Director HE United States Department of Agriculture was appealed to in 1903 to help Texas farmers in their fight against the ravages of the Mexican cotton boll weevil. This insect has become established in the principal cotton-growing areas of the State, leaving almost complete devastation in its wake. Departmental officials who had made a careful study of the conditions concluded that good farming practices would overcome much of this damage this insect was doing. They worked out plans for making practical demonstrations in co-operation with Texas cotton farmers for proving the effectiveness of good cultural practice, improved varieties and correct fertilization, in the fight on this pest. These demonstrations were effective in the control of the boll weevil.

It was this training at Columbia that gave him an envious advantage over his classmates by his knowledge of Mili¬ tary Science. He has a. natural ability to make friends and has taken full ad¬ vantage of this great asset. If he ever had a trouble, it was never known to anyone but himself. Milo has contributed much to carry on that “Old Aggie” fight.

Coming to us a ten¬ der, timid lad, from the wilds of Northern Louisiana, Ileber has developed into a young man of admirable traits and amiable disposi¬ tion.

In his quiet, unassuming way he has accom¬ plished many things. A few of these are: being a distinguished student for two years, one of the best seniors in the Architectural depart¬ ment, winning a cup in ■machine gun marks¬ manship at summer camp, and, best of all, being a true Aggie.

When he became a dignified Junior he fre¬ quented Ross Hall, be¬ cause he roomed there. He had high ideals during this time, as he slept on third deck. Chin never was much of an athlete except when the upper class- men decided to take a hand every once in a while, and then he be¬ came a ten-second man as well as a cross¬ country runner. There will be a vacant spot in the Architectural depart me nt when “Chin” leaves, as he puts his whole heart into his work. He is admired by all who know him. Page 49 Armstrong, R. C.

These things, and being a gentleman in every respect, have won for him many friends and admirers. His chief worries are his social errors and his progress in II. E. We do not know what Bryan society would do if it wasn’t for this handsome young soldier and gentleman. Most of us are glad to get to see a big blue limousine, whiz by, but for Vic to get to ride in such is an everyday occurrence We feel that the senior class has a very capable and able representative in Victor.

His progress i n Architecture is a mark¬ ed one, and the work he has done would be a credit to any Architec¬ tural Department. Ash¬ ford has an admirable character, is straightfor¬ ward in expression of his thoughts and an in- teresti rig conversation¬ alist.

But old Aggie-land kept beckon¬ ing to him and finally he had to let down and come back to finish . He has joined the ranks of the class of ' 25 and has made one of her best and most prominent mem¬ bers. A look at Ashworth ' s noble mug and you can readily see he has a harem. He never has to worry about his high position in the minds of the fairer sex. Jerry says the bigger they are the harder they fall, so he never falls very hard. In years to come, when the class of ’25 will be telling their grand¬ children of the good old days, Jerry will be one of the fellows they ' ll never forget, because he was a real Aggie.

We can think of no one who is more in¬ dustrious than our dear friend Banks, and the prediction is that his future will be a credit to A. and M. Bartholomew, R. O. Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. B. C, E, I; Dallas Club; M. E. Club; R. V. “Bevo” Leaving in the spring of ' 23, he has come back to take his degree in Mechanical Engi¬ neering. As he is a “sand- blower, he realized his position was to be on his feet, bumping curbs and joined the infantry. Belonging to the type of men who are greatly concerned with the high cost of half-soles for breeches, as a result of dusting curbs, he has had a hard time. Re¬ gardless of this handi¬ cap, he has made a success in more ways than one, including the ladies, who are overjoyed to converse with the young man. Seriously speaking, he is a sort of a fellow we like to see—friend to all and enemy to none. Barlow, H. S. Kernes, Texas Ag. Administration Age 23; Casual; Na¬ varro Co. Club. “Runt” “Runt invaded the confines of A. and M. in the year of ’18, entering as a member of the S. A. T. C. He enrolled for a two-year course in engineering, which he completed in ’20. He was also a student of Randal ph- Macon. After wrestling with the problems of industry for about two years, “Runt returned to A. and M. for the Spring Term of ' 22. Another call of Old A. and M. had been ring¬ ing in his ears all of this time. Besides using his brain to work out the puzzling questions of theoretical finance as given by the Depart¬ ment of Agricultural Administration, he has used his lower extremi¬ ties in exploring most of Brazos County, as he finds great pleasure in walking and enjoying the beauties of nature. Batot, Milton J. Hondo, Texas Architecture Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop E, Cav.; Archi¬ tectural Club; South¬ west Texas Club; Mar¬ ried Man. “Mike” This tall, quiet caval¬ ryman, who we are told is an excellent second in command in his home of two, is one of the type of strong men who in the -world have made a reputation for A. and M. His dependability and determination to see a thing through has already given him the reputation, in the draft¬ ing room, of being a man of whom a real architect can be made. If he can be as suc¬ cessful with the world when he leaves A. and M. as he was with cupid, then we need have no fears for him. Baty, James B. Taylor, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. F, Inf.; Williamson Co. Club, president’23-’24; Civil EngineeringClub; Episcopal Group. “J. B.” “Batty” J. B. came to A. and M. in the fall of ’20 as one of the slimest fish on the campus. Upon returning his Junior year, two new Infantry Battalions hav¬ ing been organized, he was transferred to Co. F Inf. as a sergeant in rank. The ensuing summer he attended R. 0. T. C. Camp at “cool Camp Travis and was a member of the celebrated “West Point Squad. J. B. came back three weeks early to C. E. summer practice and ran out a line for a railroad from College to the Brazos River. In his fourth year he resided in “Hollywood until the end of the first term when he severed connections with the Col¬ lege and class of ’24, returning this year to get his “sheep skin.

Those of us who really know Clyde find him an outstanding ch aracter in studies and philoso¬ phy with a Romeo fail¬ ing toward the Navasota and Bryan girls. One who it will be very difii- cnlt for these queens to find an equal under the m o s t trying circum¬ stances. Clyde has one of the most brilliant futures ahead of him. We are with you Clyde.

Society. “ITT.” “Gripe” Beckworth is a man who speaks straight from the shoulder just what he thinks. Al¬ ways thinking twice be¬ fore speaking once. A leader of men, a quality acquired, while in the service. Only those who k now IE T. can appreciate the many interesting tales and stories which he con¬ stantly tells, for there is always a greater lesson than the passing thought or laugh which usually accompanies them. Beckworth has many pet theories for acquir¬ ing the spreaded eagle, one which some day will be realized. Those of us who live long enough will some day read in “Who ' s Who of one of our men of ' 25. As a military genius “Gripe” has very few equals on the hill. Bell, Daniel G. Hereford, Texas Electrical Engineering “Dan” “D. G.” Age 20; Major Sig¬ nal Corps, R. V.; A. I.E.E. Distinguished Student. Daniel came to A. and M. with that school boy com flexion from the country of sandstorms and blizzards. Very few men have the power of concentra¬ tion found in this man. Many times has it been recorded, that while casually looking out of the classroom window that he could tell of a mistake made in a lec¬ ture without looking at the instructor ' s work on the board. It is to him that the honor of being distinguished every term for four years goes. We know him as one of the best students that will leave this institution with the class of ' 25. A friend true and solid, a man with con¬ victions for the right. To him we will always look for something great, he will not fail us. Bell, Henry N. Bastro y Texas A gri culture .4ge 22; 2nd Lt. Co.

A society man of note and a lion among the ladies. When they see him coming they just have to fall, that ' s all. Henry ' s aim is to conquer the Agricultural world and make six onions grow where one cabbage grew before. He is now cidtivating a rather extensive area on his upper lip to relieve the strained condition in soupland. A friend, true and fair, and a man chiv¬ alrous and brave. His story will be “Duke Henry of the House of Bell and end. by every¬ one living happily ever after. Page 52 Bennett, Henry C. Ft. Worth, Texas A rchitecture Age 22; Lt.

V.” From the far north of Fort Worth to the way south of Galveston the fame of the Colonel has spread. Every con¬ ductor on the S. P., and nearly every tourist has experienced the pleasure of his appearance, be¬ cause he has dealed a wonderful and envious record for such exploits. When the band rolls into the “Review March’’ and the corps s wings by, many a feminine heart multi¬ plies its palpitations by ten when this tall sol¬ dier of “Todd ' s army’’ prances by, but never a side long glance, for his mind is set upon success and as he himself says, a “Lefax-made ' ' man. Berendt, Elmore F. San Antonio, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. A, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E.; Episco al Club. “Elmo” “Ding” Starting life so far from Texas it is no small wonder that it took him so long to finally pick that state in which to settle, where “a man is a man and a woman is governor.’’ Starting in Montana and coming to Texas by way of China and the Philip tine Islands, we finally find him num¬ bered among the coulomb chasers of the A. and M. College of Texas. In this, his, as zee hope, final year, we find him using much of his valuable time to write that daily dozen to his “one and only. ' ' The E. E. Department prob¬ ably, more than any other on the campus, has no doubt noted the de¬ cided absence of thought given them in favor of the aforementioned “one and only.’’ His motto is—Rest today for tomorrow you may have to work. Bethel, Ion M. Menard, Texas A nimal Husbandry Age 24; 1st Lt. Co. H. Inf.; Rifle team ’24; Pistol team ’24; Saddle and Sirloin Club; John Tarleton Club; San Antonio Club. “Iron” “King” Bethel is one of the fezv in the college who is very proficient in “Bullticks.” A man that can do some of the things in the art of war that we would all like to do, an expert pistol and rifleman. This man is one of those species of college stu¬ dents peculiar to the curriculum called a “Junior Fish ’’ coming from a colt college of the Institution, John Tarle¬ ton. The coveted cup of military excellence which bears the dame of efficiency was Won by this man in the R. O. T. C. Camp during the summer training camp. Another champagne cup was also copped by this “Trooper’’ for pistol ex¬ cellency. Bickel, Leonard A. Gainesville, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Band; Cooke Co. Club; A. S. M. E. Club. “Bick” The year 1904 woidd not have any historic value if it were not for the fact that “Bick’’ was born in that year. He says he is glad tho that he wasn’t born on February 29 as that would limit his birth¬ days to one every four years, thus making him ineligible to enter col¬ lege until in reality he was 64 years of age. He got the idea that he could play a clarinet and by some hook or crook succeeded in get¬ ting in the A. and M. Band where he developed ■into a clarinet player. This lad sometimes likes to trifle with love and there are many Forth Worth “blisters” suffer¬ ing with the “How come you do me like you do” complex con¬ tracted during the an¬ nual engagement of the Aggie Band at the Stock Shozu.

Cabinet. “P-Black” He has made an enviable record as a student, a scholar, and last but not least as the manager and publisher of the Daily Bulletin, tie has a knack of driving the wheels ofi of any Ford, although cars of other makes give him heart burn. Like many men of the band his lady love resides in Ft. Worth and judging from the number of trips there you would think he zvas a stock- man. He has always shown much more mechanical and technical than mili¬ tary aptitude. He leaves behind a host of f riends and will be given a permanent place with those who are deserving by his alma mater.

From the very himself a great leader, a true, straight thinker, possessing a will of his oiU7i. lie will stand for his convictions against the multitudes. Of a bright, happy piety, he was listened to as though his voice was that of an angel. Into his ivork went his soul.

With this as incentive, he came to A. a7id M. determined to make the most of the years he would have to spend here. His record as a student has been exceptionally good, for he has been a dis¬ tinguished scholar for three years. He is one of the few men who te?id to their own busi¬ ness and though he is quiet and studious, he doesn ' t mind taking time out to talk things over u ' ith the gang. lie will be remembered as otie who believed in fair play, and one who ivas a friend to all.

Bock, Isadore Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop A, Cav.; A. S. M.

E., and then assuming the pres¬ idency of the Ford Motor Company. Just because Bock honors frigid North Tex¬ as, don ' t get the idea that he is cold-hearted — just the opposite because his heart sends out many B. T. U.’s, which have the desired effects o?i the ladies. Bocky is a neat, like¬ able, industrious young s t u de nt w h o 771 ikes friends wherever he goes. We have all profited by knowing Bock as a staunch friend, student, and gentleman, and we hope that we may meet him agai): some day, when he will have f ul¬ filled his ambitions. Bone, Harry P. Dallas, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; Casual; Civil Engineering Club; Dal¬ las Club; Sbisa Volun¬ teer. “Ponty” There ' s only one Ponty” on any one Campus. The Board couldn ' t allow but one. Along with F. S. Kaufman, Ponty es¬ tablished one of the highest records in Tor¬ pedo firing from Fort Legett that has ever been known in the School. He has acted Santa Claus two years for the fish and had he not discarded his most en¬ viable military record attained during his Ju¬ nior year, he ivorda prob¬ ably have been Santa Claus this year. Ponty is indeed a social man. During his Freshman Year, he was one of the few fish capable of breaking into the Select Bryan So¬ ciety. Brouer, Orville A. Ft. Worth, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; Capt. Adj. Field Art.; Band ’22- 23; Orchestra ’22-’23; Sgt. Battery A, ’24; Program Committee ’25; Chem. Club; Ft. Worth Club. “Brusieur” Brusieur hails from that part of Cow-Town known as the North Side; however you could never tell this by his looks as he is one of the sheikest of the sheiks. From all indications he has one heart broken so that it doesn’t know whether it is coming or going; rather I should say he has several as he is intimately as¬ sociated with several prominent social organ¬ izations, such as Allen Academy, the S. D. D.s, etc. Many a feminine heart misses a few beats when this tall, black- haired captain- marches down the walk. Orville has made a host of friends at Col¬ lege. Page 54 Buchanan, G. C. Caddo Mills, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E; Greenville Club. “Buck” Buck came to us from the East Texas Normal College with the class of ’26. He served h i s slime days in Company A . S. C. The following summer he spent on the Campus, and this en¬ abled him to line up with the class of ’25. It was in this year when one of the great op¬ portunities came to him, i. e., when he was trans¬ ferred to Co. B, Sig. Corps. Buck is a man of few words, but beware of what he thinks. He is a strong believer in the. motto, Don’t put off until to-morrow what can be done to-day. By his work in the field of engineering his name should be written under the column, head Disciples of Stein- metz.” His interesting con¬ tours, coupled with his knowledge of the ladies, made him an important figure in all social gatherings.

Passing his Fish year, which was a good one as anyone who knows him will state, he has gone through the other three the same way. He was selected as one of the yell leaders in his fourth year, and has served well there. Capturing the best drilled medal of I Com¬ pany in his third year.

Burden, John Paul Gordonville, Texas Civil Engineering Age 23; 1st Lt. Co.

Sap came to A. and M. intent on becoming a C. E., and he will soon be the finished product, and we shall expect to see the results of his work on the highways and railroads of the Southwest. Gor¬ donville may well be proud of her product, not only for the record he has made in school, but for the success we know will be his in after years. Burden has a natural ability to make friends, and all of us will miss him. Paul is a very nonchalant, debonair young man, to all out¬ ward appearances, but that is all camouflage, for beneath there lies that keen attention to details and duty that makes for success.

Never has it been doubted that the ladies outranked the others, but the sports and meals have been very close runner up’s. Bill is one of the military leaders of the campus. He is well remembered as our col¬ ored’’ sergeant of last year. Col. Van Horn and Bill were great pals at summer camp. His great physique and build have made him the envy of many A. and M. men. Bill has been one of the best sport writers Aggieland has had in years. We have never wanted for first hand information and dope on all our sports. Bill is a loyal Aggie, and behind, everything we go into 100 per cent. Calloway, George N. Palestine, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Air Ser.; Palestine Club; A. S. M. E.; A. and M. Pistol Team ’23-’24; One Buttoneers; Senior Club. “Cal” The world knows not enough of eloquence and command of speech to describe this man. Cal is a man after the old A. and M. type—full of fight, determination and adhesive qualities, true blue and depend¬ able. He took ofi from Palestine,and made a perfect three point landing in the home of the Texas Aggies. He must have action, there¬ fore he frequently gives vent to his Bolshevik feelings in outbursts of song. To love much is to be much loved, as his analytical mind sees it. That is the reason, let us say, for Cal ' s fre¬ quent and unexplained absences from the Cam¬ pus. We’re going to miss you Cal. Good luck. Page 55 Canion, Claude San Antonio, Texas Vet.

Though the road to Canion’s goal has been an endless fight, his transplendent and re¬ splendent attributes — honesty, energy, pa¬ tience, and persistence — have caused his faith to remain unshattered, and when Fate, the torren¬ tial stream, has held fast his inspiration and perspiration, earnest¬ ness and continuous effort, have enabled him to meet the test in a frame of mind where only the quitters remain behind.

He has applied himself in his school ivork, a result of which was good grades; however not to the extent that he neg¬ lected other important phases of college life. He took part in an essay com petition in which he won first honor and a prize of fifty dollars. He is best known by the l ‘Sbisa Volunteers with whom he has worked for four years, thus making it possible for him to finance himself without help from home. One outstanding thing about Scatter is that he has taken advantage of his opportunities while in College. Carmichael, John F. Granbury, Texas Rural Education Age 21: Casual. “John” Courage to back his convictions; strong in his likes and dislikes; and always just what he is—a he-man. He plays the game square, lives not for what he can get but for what he can give, and has a heart that shares life ' s grief with those it holds most dear. lie has taken his reverses, keen scorned and kicked; but never has Fate had power to convince him he was licked.

Likewise he is one of the few serious minded men who always has a good word and smile for all he meets. He is a boy who can always be depended up¬ on to do his part of whatever comes up cheer¬ fully and well. How¬ ever, when he leaves us he will have one blot on his slate which he shall always remember, and that is his member ship in black T Company since the day it was organized. Men of Bob ' s type always make suc¬ cesses in life, so there is no need to predict that for him, but we do predict that he will make the most of a successful life. Clark, J. L. San Antonio, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Bat¬ tery B; A. S. M. E.

Beauty is a gift of God, and our beloved Lee has often wished that he could be as great in M. E. and shine forth in the world as does his beauty. As a scholar and a gentleman, a man among men, a promoter of chance, an advocate of hair restorers, and a connoisseur of the fair, he has more than fid- filled his mission as a true Aggie. His stand¬ ing speaks for his scho¬ lastic efficiency, but it remains for us to bear testimony to the fact that this was attained through perseverance and a natural aptitude for work.

In spite of his strength, Chic has his weaknesses: women, money and edu¬ cational fiction. His only other vice is his mistreatment of his wives. However, this only happens when he gets but three letters instead of five. A great future awaits Chic pro¬ vided he continues his usual little rests.

As a sophomore he was plen¬ ty of fun, always laugh¬ ing and with a happy word for everyone. With his junior year came a transfer from Troop A to Troop C, where he was a sergeant liked by those above and below him in grade. His senior year he spent in keeping up the spirit of the troop he had learned to love, and he holds a tender spot in the heart of each man in the or¬ ganization. But in spite of his greatness, “Crev” has a weakness, and she is fair to gaze upon. His idea of a good time is a cool night, her royal sweetness, and plenty of air. Dahlberg, F. I.

His leadership and perseverance, cou¬ pled with his high regard for justice and honor, have won for him the position dearest to any A. and M. man — Cap¬ tain of his troop. “Ike,” Aggieland is proud of men of your calibre.

V.; Junto; Architectural Club. “Arch” Archie has the dis¬ tinction of being one of the tivo two-letter Se¬ niors in school. We know him as a fighter on the athletic field, a scholar in his classroom, and a true friend to us all. He is a man that thinks for himself and has the personality and power to put things over. Archie will make a great Architect some day. We admire him for his high ideals and the real man that he is. A rchie is a great hand at hard work. In fact, he and work get along so ivell together that he can lie right down beside it and go to sleep. As the add writers say, there is something about him that you are bound to like and admire. Page 38 Davis, Clifford C. Palestine, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop E, Cavalry ; Pal¬ estine Club, president ; N. T. A. C. Club; Ag. Administration Club. “C. C.” Clifford is a true red-blooded man with many fine qualities and very few faults. C. C. has a rich and honest love for the things which are good and right. He is conscien¬ tious, standing strong for his convictions, hold¬ ing fast to real faith, and high moral courage. Esteeming and loving all, he is a faithful and sincere friend. Blessed by a slow but keen wit, he creates spontaneity wherever he goes. He is a thinker and has always placed first things first, making a very enviable scholastic rec¬ ord in that he has never failed any course. He is a man of reserve, but there is a hidden aggressiveness, and when we review his career at this school we wish for him and feel assured that life ' s great¬ est, in all things, will be his. Davis, David O. Temple, Texas Ag. Administration Age 18; 2nd Lt. Company G, Infantry; Bel! Co. Club; One Buttoneers; Senior Club. “Itch Othello” Coming from one of the State’s junior mili¬ tary colleges, he was not surprised at the friend¬ liness and spirit of the student body, nor was he at a loss as to what to do in any emergency at school. Having had two years of military training, Davis fitted into the military dis¬ cipline a well-ailed cog into a machine. His advanced standing en¬ abled him to grasp the spirit and intricate workings to the college early. Davis came here as a Junior highly recom¬ mended and did not disappoint those who were watching him. In the year ' s work he passed with a high grade, nar¬ rowly missing the dis¬ tinction of being an honor student. Davis, Kenneth E. Mansfield, Texas Civil Engineering Dealt, Marvin E. Houston, Texas Ag. Administration Deu Pree, Elijah J. Crockett, Texas Civil Engineering Age 19; 1 st Lt. Troop E, Cav.; R. V.; Crock¬ ett Club, vice-pres.; C. E. Club. “E. J.” “Doug” “Foots” “Foots” hails from that town of Crockett famed for men of qual¬ ity, which it sends to Aggieland. He is a big boy with a big heart. He is the type that plays the game fairly and squarely, and we believe in him. “Foots” has chosen for himself a fitting profession. As a Civil Engineer he will prob¬ ably travel far, explore jungles, and conquer szvollen rivers; all in order that he might serve someone else. “Foots,” no matter where you may go or zuhat you may do, we are with you. Success can not be denied you. Age 20; 2nd Lt. Company D, Inf.; A. S. C. E. Club. “Kinetic” “K. E.” K. E. comes to Aggie- land from Mansfield, Texas, as a metropolis that is the rival of Fort Worth. He entered the Class of 1925 in his freshman year and has been zoith us ever since. We do not seem to be able to leave him behind us as we have left many others who started with us, for K. E. is a good student and has never been known to fail to pass a course. Once a man sets his heart on a thing, sobers down and determines to do the impossible, some¬ thing is going to hap¬ pen. For such a man there is no impossible. K. E.’s heart is set to be a good C. E. and a good citizen; he is al¬ ways sober and he has the determination to win. Age 23; Capt. Troop B, Cav.; 1st Sgt. Troop B, Cav. ’2-1; R. V.; 1st Lt. R. V. ’25; T Club ’2-f-’25; Pres. Houston Club ’25; Sec¬ retary-Treasurer Soph¬ omore Class of ’25; Vice-Pres. of Freshman class of ’25; Basket Ball Squad ’23; Fish Basket Ball ’22; Inter- Battalion Basket Ball ' 22 . “Dime” “Dime” came to A. and M. because he is that type of a man. He is an athlete of the first order, a soldier, and above all, a true Southern gentleman. Whether it be on the basketball court or on the arill field he is there, heart and soul. At camp he proved himself a modern Ro¬ meo. He dined with Majors and Colonels, and danced with the daughters of Colonels. He won for himself the heart of a maiden, auburn - haired and beautiful Page so Dodd, Bernard A. Yoakum, Texas A rchitsclure Age 22; Band; Co. F, Inf.; Aggie Land Orchestra; Architectu¬ ral Club; Turkey Trot Club; Bryan Co. Club. “Barney” You nould think Barney never had a serious thought hut this must be wrong; cer¬ tainly his many suc¬ cessful conquests could have resulted only from well-laid plans. Every¬ body knows Barney; he is famous as the slip hornist with the Aggie- land Orchestra which presents this ' ' Yoakum Yokel with his hokum from Yoakum. Barney is the center of attrac¬ tion as the. premier entertainer of the Aggie- land. Barney Adonis must be admired for he is laboring under difficul¬ ties. His noble spirit enabled him to conquer his Navasota complex, but he still suffers from golf and a severe case of lead poisoning. Dodson, Louis Amarillo, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; Major Cav. Squadron; Sgt. Major ’24; I nt er n a t ion a 1 Stock Judging Team ’24; Junior Stock Judg¬ ing Team ’23; R. V.; Panhandle Club, Pres.

Dutch¬ ess, Cotton Palace. “Dusty” “Dot” Do you remember hearing the high shrill voice call at every forma¬ tion Squadron Atten¬ tion! Well, that ' s Dusty, but the voice doesn ' t signify the man who is behind for the Dot is very small in statue. There was never a bigger man in this school. In meting out justici to his Squadron or in his participation in Religious work, Dus¬ ty proves himself the man that he is. Duckett, Harry D. Houston, Texas A g. Engineering Age 21; 1 st Lt. Cav. Staff; Color Sgt. Cav. Staff ’24; R. V.; Best Drilled Medal Troop ’24; “T” Club; Hous¬ ton Club; Junto; Social Secretarv Senior Class; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Chairman Thanksgiv¬ ing Dance ’24; Ag. Engineering Club, Pres. ’25; Basketball Varsity ’23-’24; Track Squad ’23; Fish Bas¬ ketball ’22; Inter Bat¬ talion B as k e t b al 1 C hampions ’22. “Harry” “Cotton” Harry Davis is a fighter. His conscien¬ tious efforts have carried him to the peak during his four years at A. and M. There are very few that have made better grades than Cotton and as a social lion he is unexcelled. His classwork and social activities though are overshadowed by his ath¬ letic career. He has been one of the main cogs in three of D. H.’s basketball machines. Dunn, James H. Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Cross- Country Team ’23; Dallas Club; A. S. M. E. “Sandblower”“Itch” One bright morning in September, 1921, a cloud of dust was seen coming up the main drag from the station. When this cloud reached the military walk and cleared azvay there stood Blower selling fifth year students tickets for a sightseeing trip around the campus. From that day on Blower has been noted for his ability as a money maker. However, his pursuit of wealth in no way affected his ability to make friends. Blower evidently believes in the old adage, laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone, because if he ever had a melancholy moment in his four years at A. and M. his friends never knew about it. Earle, John S. Waco, Texas Textile Engineering Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Waco Club; Textile Engineering Club. “Johnnie” Johnnie came to Aggieland in 1920, and spent his fish days with the Class of ' 24. Be¬ tween his ti ips to Waco he has been with us since that time. Everyone who knows him is impressed by his seem i ngly uni i m ited supply of energy. Whether he is playing a game of dominoes, or tackling a problem in one of his courses, he puts everything he has into it. Another trait that impresses all his many friends is his generosity. Any friend in need will find him a friend indeed. The Tex¬ tile Engineering stu¬ dents will remember him for the many favors shown them when visit¬ ing in Waco. Page 6o Edwards, Cy L. San Antonio, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 24; Capt. Co. I, Inf.; San Antonio Club, Pres.; M. E. Club, V-Pres.; Ass’t Yell Leader ’22-’23; Chief Yell Leader ’24- ’25; R. V. “Katunk” Cy came to A. and M. with a high ambition to become an M. E. After battling B. T. U.’s Steam Engines and Doc Fermier’s mechanics for three yeais, he took a sudden interest in sheep. His visit to Devil ' s River this summer showed him that there was a broad field for promising young men in the sheep busi¬ ness. After interview¬ ing several ranchmen in Devil ' s river district, Cy finally convinced one of them of his ability to take care of a herd. We don ' t see how an M. E. will help in the sheep raising business, do you? Cy has toon his spurs as chief Yell Leader. He is known and liked by every man on the campus. Edwards, Joe W. Sipe Springs, Texas Agriculture Age 20; 2nd Lt. Co. B, Inf.; Band; Tarle- ton Club, Pres.; Royal Order Tom Cats, Pres.; Back Alley Five; One Buttoneers. “Sousa” Joe Edwards, better known as “Sousa” (to the members of the A ggie Band, is another from the ranks of John Tarle- ton. ImsI year, his first year in this school, he attained considerable success as a musician, having composed several marches and serenades to his “lady friends.” His serenades have not prevented him, however, from acting as one of the regular buglers, in which capacity he has earned the nickname of “Gabriel” “Sousa” is a great asset to the band in his regular capacity on cor¬ net and baritone. Eitt, Henry San Antonio, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Co. I. Inf.: Fish Bat. ’22, Soph. ’23; San Antonio Club; Varsity Football ’22- ' 23; Fish Coach ’25; A. S. M. E. Club. “Henry” All of us have, no doubt, laughed at the tales of wilderness kings being converted into so¬ cial butterflies, beliei ' ing them to be pure fiction. But here is the exception that forms the rule — coming from the wilds of San Tone, with the cotton still danglingfrom his curly locks, this lad did not appear to be related to a teacup. But what an illusion ' Not only did he surpass an “approved solution” of snaking, but also he introduced new and in¬ triguing tactics which render even widows help¬ less and make stuttering contagious. Henry has made his name as an athlete of note and also as the coach of our Fish Squad. Henry never fails to put all 230 pounds into everything he undertakes. Elliot, Arthur Lee Corsicana, Texas Ag. Administration Age2T;Casual;Band; Navarro Co. Club, Pres.; Ag. Eng. ' 23; Sons of Rest. “Bugs” “Bugs,” the brilliant man from Corsicana, pulled into Aggieland on a high powered hand car. It was said, by those that ought to know ' , that he was so slimy that Spanish moss drop¬ ped its luxuriant fronds from his cranium. For the past two years Bugs has been a member of that well k n o w n organization, “The drill dodgers.” As a pirate of fem¬ inine hearts, there are few that can compare with our boy of the Palm olive complexion. In fact, it is said that the people in Corsicana lock up everything, in¬ cluding the family grind¬ stone, when Bugs breezes into town. It is easily seen that he has very taking habits. “Bugs” is a splendid chap, well liked in the Corps, and he will make good. El Nouty, A. H. Cairo, Egypt Agriculture Age 24; Cosmopoli¬ tan Club, Pres.; Horti¬ cultural Society. “Nouty” When he decided up¬ on an American educa¬ tion, “Nouty, with the wisdom of the Orient, selected A., and M. of Texas as his goal. De¬ layed. by the immigra¬ tion service, he arrived at the college a month late to begin his career. To overcome this handi¬ cap and that of master¬ ing a strange tongue in so short a time as it has taken Nouty to do it shows the quality of his mind. The difficulty of studying a technical sub¬ ject like Horticulture in a new language is very great indeed. “Nouty ' s” first year was spent with the Casuals, then thinking he would like to be a military man, he joined the Corps, but he is now back with the “Gold brickers.” After obtaining his B. S. here this boy will enter the Univ. of Cali¬ fornia for an M. S. degree, and then “Home, Sweet Horne” after five years ' absence. Page 6i Engel, Kenneth E. Seguin, Texas Electrical Engincering Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. H, Inf.; Company Football ’22- ' 23; A. I. E. E.; PfeuflFer Fish; Camp Perry Rifle Tea m; Guadalupe- Caldwell Club. “Shorty” “Old Man” Attention Gents! We have with us one of those spectacular speci¬ mens of “Coulomb chas¬ ers, who hails from the wild sandhills of Guadalupe County, near that Big Metropolis known as Sequin. In the good old days, the Pfeuffer Rats” shel¬ tered beneath the coveted walls of their “Bat Roost our distinguish¬ ed friend “Shoity,” who we picture herewith. With such a start on his educational career it should be no great task for our noble readers to imagine why the “Old Man has become a doomed gold bricker. His close association w it h II Co m p any through the “Sheiks to the realms of Goodwin further proves this point. Erwin, Will B. Dallas, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 1st Lt. In¬ fantry; Boxing Team; Dallas Club; A. S. M. E. “Bill” “Sleepy” When Bill came to A. and M. he had lots of “Wim, Wigor, and Witality. If there was anything he loved better than a fight it was a gang fight. On a cer¬ tain nigh! in the spring of 192i, when the Signal Corps made war on the Battery in “Fort Leg- get, Bill was generalis¬ simo of the Signal Corps Army. Bill ought to be a world champion for he has taken Ml E.. M. E., I. E., and II. E., besides the science of Boxing; and it has taken him only five years to do it all. Bill has that old Aggie fight and if he fights the battles of life as hard and fast as he fights his opponents in the ring he will always be “on top. Estill, Junius F. Wharton, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. A, Inf.; A. S. M. E. Club. “Pride” Junius F. Estill came to A. and M. from Wharton High. He is another one of those small town boys who has made good at A. and M. Being a “dis¬ tinguished student is only one of his accom¬ plishments. He is liked by all who know him. In fact, you can ' t help liking him, for he is made of the same ma¬ terial from which Abra¬ ham Lincoln was carved. Whenever one of the “coulomb” chasers gets in trouble he always comes to Pride, for there he knows he can get the right kind of help. Junius was not equipped with one of those genius minds when he came to A. and M., but through hard work and the forming of good habits he stands with those at the head of the class. Field, Stanton M. Lockhart, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; Capt. Corps Staff; Caldwell-Guada- lupe-Gonzales Group, Pres. ’24-’25. “Field” Field always impres¬ ses one with his neat, milita ry appearance. He has a very pleasing personality, which with his quality of definite¬ ness makes him a dis¬ tinctive figure in the class. Apparently this is also the truth as regards certain members of the fair sex. After four years of Civil Engineering and two sessions of summer practice, he should be qualified to build a railroad almost any¬ where. We have no fears but what he will get along quite satis¬ factorily whatever he may do. Field has the ability and personality and he is naturally a hard worker. Finch, Walter S. Admiral, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; N. T. A. C. Club; Masonic Club. “Walt” “Walt is another of our Seniors who came from one of the branch Junior Colleges of the A. and M. system. {N.T.A.C.) His rise from “Slimedom” to a Senior has been noted with astonishment. Life has many dis¬ appointments in store for some people and it seems that she has flung them all at Walt. Re¬ sponsibility was thrown on Walt early in life and he has worked under a handicap to get his education and try to be in student activities at the same time. A man that can meet these dis¬ appointments and smile as Walt has done is a man and deserves credit for the same. The greatest thing that can be said of any man—whether he be re¬ nowned in student af¬ fairs or on the athletic field—is that “He was a true friend.” Page 62 Finks, Jack E. Austin, Texas Horticulture Age 21; Capt. Co. B, Inf.; 2nd Lt. R. V.; Editor “The Battal¬ ion”; Editor Junior “Bat;” Junto; Military Escort, Waco Cotton Palace; R. V. Drill Medal ’24; Reserve Football Squad ’22- ' 23; Capitol City Club, Pres.; Horticultural Society, Vice-Pres. “Jick” Jack came to College Station one cold and foggy morning — as green a Fish as ever left the comforting environ¬ ments of Austin. He had with him, besides his pocketbook, two am¬ bitions—one to become Colonel and the other to become a successful Ilort. student (not heart). His success as a Hort. student is too well known to mention; his success as a heart student — well, just glance over his mail sometime. Jack’s sophomore and Junior years were spent much as his Fish year was—in ripening ac¬ quaintances into deep friendships. Fischer, Norman Cuero, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Casual: De- Witt Co. Club; A. S. M. E. “Norman” Fischer was once called “Lightening’ be¬ cause of his turtle-like characteristics, but that old saying is zero when the fair ones are inf volved. Yes, and the ladies are keen about him. That slick hair and hungry look gives him away. Norman is a lover of pleasures such as hunting, fishing, and swimming, but he does not devote his entire time to this line. He is studious, quiet, well- cultured gentleman. He is a boy of few words. When a fellow needs a friend, Fischer will ‘ fill the bill. ’ ’ We h ave known him long enough to find that out. If you haven’t the pleasure of knowing him, introduce yourself and you will- add a real man’s name to the list of your acquaintances. Flowers, A. E., Jr. Dallas, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; Capt. Troop D, Cav.; Dallas Club, Pres.; Chem. Engineer¬ ing Club; R. V.; Senior Bible Class. “Shorty” “Shorty’’ came to Ag- gieland with a dream of college life that was not exactly A. and M., but he soon caught the A ggie spirit and made one of the best “fish” in Troop A. £ His best quality is his friendship and kind¬ ness to all. He is ex¬ tremely well liked and, because of his six feet, four inches, he is well known and easily recog¬ nizable. He is witty, an interesting conver¬ sationalist, and has al¬ ways shown his good nature. His motto is “Push on up for there ■is plenty of room at the top”—and we believe that he will get there. “Shorty” does not always need a big car. He prefers a Ford, to be frank. He is out for a good time wherever he can get it; as a matter of fact he takes his good times right along with him. Foester, Louis J. Port Lavaca, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 23; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club. “Sergeant” Louis is a friend tried and true, a man with a forgiving nature, but who never forgets a good turn. In the long spring evenings, whed others are in little groups about the Campus and dormi¬ tories, you will find him with a friend in the pastures or about the barns with the cattle and horses. When a fish . Sergeant had high ambitions and chose as his guiding star a well-known army sergeant — hence his nickname. His am¬ bition was realized in his junior year, but is noiv forgotten since he wears a shiny button Forgason, Jim V. San Antonio, Texas Rural Education Age 22; Reg. Sgt. Major; Fish Football; Varsity Football ’22, ’23, ’24; “T” Club; R. V.; San Antonio Club. “Firpo” Firpo is a man who would make an ad for Mullens food look like the statue of liberty. When Jim came to College, on a flat car, he had high ambitions of being a Rural Educa¬ tor, but we believe he has wonderful qualities for a butcher. Four years ago the Athletic and Military College teas invaded by this lad, who had a broad mind and other physical broadness that just couldn ' t be missed with a board. As a fish, “Firpo” was al¬ ways ready to do his part. He placed his name on the honor roll by making a numeral in Fish Football. Jim has fought hard for old Aggieland and in return he received three letters on the Varsity Squad. Page 63 Forrester, Vade G. Belton, Texas Ai’. Administration Age 21 ; 1st Ft. Cav.; Bell Co. Club; A. A. Club. “V. G.” Vade is a young lad of six fee! two and has a heart that is measured by his height. IJe pos- seses those rare traits of character which make friends for him among all. Ills good looks plus his height make him a center for feminine eyes, btit the fair sex do not bother him very much, lie still remains true to the only one. But what a Jonah for roommates! Up until the present time they have all quit school and married. Perhaps Vade has caught the fever. On these beautiful spring moonlight nights, when young men’s fan¬ cies turn to othei than their studies, you can hear the strains of sweet melodies breaking into the still night. These melodious strains come from the throats of Vade and his “old lady.” Just another point in Vade ' s favor on “how he does it.’’ Traps, George S., Jr. College Station, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; 1st Ft. 3rd Battalion Staff; A. S. C.E.; Episcopal Group; Brazos Co. Club. “George” George has gone to A. and M. for four long years as a day’s student and his college career here has been sprinkled with distinct- lions which come to only those who rank high in military and scholarly things. A hard boiled C. E. prof, kept him from being a dis¬ tinguished student in his Junior year, but undaunted by this re¬ versal, George went to summer camp and gath¬ ered in a whole armful of marksman and sharp¬ shooter medals, being chosen as one of the Aggies to attend the rifle meet on the Great Lakes. Traps may not have the super-brilliance of a genius, but he un¬ doubtedly docs have a talent for clear thinking, persistence and assimi¬ lation of ideas, and he has made these qualities earn for him a reputa¬ tion as a cadet. Frederick, W. B. Blooming Grove, Texas A g. Administration Age 28; Casual; Am¬ erican Fegion; A. E. F.; Navarro Co. Club; Ala- sonic Club. “F rede rick” Some people have been given more, many have been given less; but, like diamonds, which are only chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs, “Square’’ is doing the best he can with what he has. He keeps on the job with the con¬ fidence that the job will in turn keep him, runs with patience the race set before him, and is immune to the familiar but uncalled for disease — Senioritis. He be¬ lieves it’s the set of the sails and not the gales that tell us where we go, so early in his college career he set his soul for a higher goal and waited not for tomorrow’s dawn to bring his dreamed of joy, btit took the fondest thing that God e ' er gave and founded his house of sweet contentment —- home. Keep on a-keepin’ on, Frederick; we know you ' ll not stand still. “Some folks won’t like you, but other folks will.’’ Frederick, W. R. Ft. Worth, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; Major, Art. Battery; Pres. Senior Class ’25; Ft. Worth Club; C. E. Society; R. Y.; Valedictorian Senior Class. “Dub” Dub is noted for his high mentality and his perserverance in any¬ thing which he under¬ takes. It is this, coupled with high minded, ideas which makes him a lead¬ er of men. The m ilitary department can be com¬ plimented for having picked a man as “Dub” to lead the Artillery Battalion. The military department however, was not the only one to take advantage of the qualities which are a part of “Dub” for the Senior Class chose to elect him as its head for its final and most important year. He is one of those quiet, unpretentious fel¬ lows whose full influence never becomes known until it is absent. All of us regret losing him, but we know that he will never forget vis for he will still be the same calm, friendly fellow whenever and however we chance to meet him. Fry, C. R. Feonard, Texas Ag. Education Age 22; Capt. Adj. Comp. Regiment; Col¬ lins Co. Club; Masonic Club; R. V. He can make one heap of all his winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch and toss And lose, and start at the beginning And never breathe a word about his loss. He can force his heart and nerve and sin- ew To serve his turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in him, Except the will which says “Hold on.” He is a man. Page 64 Galbraith, John W. Belton, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; 1st Lt. 2nd Battalion Adj.; liell Co. Club; C. E. So¬ ciety; Rifle Club; Rifle Team, Camp Perry; A. and M. Rifle Team. “Johnnie” In spite of the fact that Johnnie has never missed a formation, drill or chapel, and always went to church three times a week, he man¬ aged to pass all his work with a wide mar¬ gin. His drag with the military department be¬ gan with his arrival at College. This phenom¬ enon was probably aug¬ mented by the fact that he is a member of the Texas National Guard. Galbraith was in Company C, Inf., dur¬ ing his fish and soph, years. His Junior year he was regimental color Sgt. and in his Senior year, Adj. 2nd Bat. Inf. Johnnie is torn be¬ tween two ambitions, one is to be a bridge engineer and the other to be a hobo. Garry, Mahan B. Taylor, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 21; 1st Lt. Troop B, Cav.; Football Re¬ serves ’22 -’23 -’24; Capt. Reserves ’24; Track Squad ' 23; Sad¬ dle and Sirloin Club; Williamson Co. Club; R. V. “Irishman” ‘‘Mahan” Taylor, the home of a champion middleweight wrestler of the world, lived up to. its name when it sent Mahan to A. and M. He has proven to be a 11 hard fighting, never-say-die” Irishman. Year after year he has been the life of the Reserve Squad, sending his team against the Varsity as if his own life depended upon it. He is always ready to argue or fight at anytime over anything. What more need be said to prove him to be a man ' s man and a true friend. Gatlin, Carl E. Miami, Texas Ag. Administration Age 22; 2nd Lt. Cav.; Panhandle Club; One Buttoneers; Ma¬ sonic Club. “Gat” “Butch” As we go our separate ways we can but thank old A ggieland for bring¬ ing to us the friendship of such men as “Gat.” lie possesses all the characteristics for which real men are noted. A more sincere friend a man could not ask for and a man of the highest type. When sincerity, frankness, loyalty to right and devotion to purpose are combined with a sense of humor, and optimistic outlook and a considerate regard for the other man, a pleasing combination re¬ sults. We predict that the tenacity of purpose that has pullea him through the past will carry him on through life to victory. Gentry, Oliver C. Acme, Texas Ag. Administration Age 20; 1st Lt. Bat¬ tery C, F. A.; Pan¬ handle Club; Battalion Staff. “Hoo Hoo” Possessed of a lovable disposition, a ready wit, a great sense of humor, and a laugh that has made him a name, but handicapped by being from Acme — that’s Hoo IToo. Although he is a very proficient Ag. Administrator, he will have to take C. E. be¬ fore he can find his way back home. He is very quiet in the presence of ladies, but he never fails to make the heart (if the fairest of the fair skip a beat. The spirit of A. and M., the ideal of man ' s man, the heart of ' a patriot, and the bearing of a soldier are all in his make. up. He has won a place in the hearts of all those who have had the pleasure of knowing him that can¬ not be refilled when he is gone. Curtis, we wish for you all the happiness that you could wish. Gibson, Estill L. Burkburnett, Texas Civil Engineering Ago 21; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.: Northwest Texas Club, Pres.; A. S. C. E., Vice-Pres. “Spico” “Darling” One day in Septem¬ ber of 1921 a train weaving its way through oil derricks of the busy city of Burkburnett was boarded by “Spico” Gib¬ son. He got off of this train at College Station and started his college career. “Spico” is a true A. and M. man from the ground up. He puts his whole heart, body and soul into everything he under¬ takes. One day he seemed to be gloomy over some matter. When he was asked what the trouble was, he said, “Kuball” gave him only 97 in “Bridges” and that he was certainly going to have to gel down and study or he would flunk out before the sun set.” Well, anyhow, we can say that anyone who is distinguished in C. E. deserves to be mentioned. Page 6j Girson, Joseph K. Lufkin, Texas Industrial Education Age 23; Major Air Service; R. V.; Lufkin Club, Pres. “Gip” “Hoot” You may talk of country boys and hicks from hayseed towns, but had you been lucky enough to witness his embarkation for Aggie- land, from that little wide place in the road classed Lufkin, you woidd have known that here was something ex¬ traordinary. lie flat-footed it down to our own Aggieland, with a soul full of vibrant power, a little Bolshevism and much optimism, to pursue book “learnin’ ” and ' ‘ladies. ' ' Gip is one of those hard-working, good- natured., never-worrying farmer boys—the kind that gets there and suc¬ ceeds. He is a good pal; a gentleman. “Gip, as you “take off from Aggieland, you are carrying with you as a passenger always the heart, the love, the well wishes of all true men of Aggie¬ land. Gilchrist, E. D. Bon Wier, Texas Agriculture Age 20; 2nd Lt.; East Texas Club; Rifle and Pistol; Agronomy; Wrestler. “Gene” “Turo-hold” Gene is a peculiarly quiet fellow with whom it is very difficult to get acquainted, but when once you break doivn the barriers you find yourself with a philoso¬ pher. He is a con¬ servative philosopher. He holds to old cus¬ toms and beliefs to an astonishing extent. His personality is striking enough to bring him to the attention of men with whom he is associated even though they have nothing in common. Professors notice him without his being conscious of the fact. He has a roving dis¬ position, evidently com¬ ing from some French ancestors, which mani¬ fests itself in moods of uneasiness and dejec¬ tion. Ginn, Victor L. Granbury, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt.; A. S. M. E.; Masonic Club. “Vick” “Vick is a real man and will prove so throughout life. Every¬ one has found him a cheerful and conscien¬ tious student and man whose greatest virtues are honesty and de¬ pendability. So much for the in¬ troduction; now for a few intimate glances at our hero. In the class room he gets by big, with the ladies he gets by bigger, and with the fellows he is 100%. Vic was never after that old “drag. On the contrary, he pursued his duty as he saw it, irrespective of praise or criticism. In him the aviation has had one of the very best in Aggie¬ land. He is always dis¬ tinguishable by his neat appearance, quiet and gentlemanly manners. An “Aggie” thru and thru. Gips, M. O. Yorktown, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Casual; Tur- key Trot Club, Pres. ’24; DeWitt Co. Club; A. S. M. E. “Mo” “Mo has a per¬ sonality that will make you like him and is a friend of those who know him. No one would ever think of him as being a rusher of society but just ask about him in Navasota. It looks as tho they will be proud of him or they arc going to miss him when he leaves “Aggieland this year; so he is going to be missed from another place besides “Aggie¬ land — at least one. After this ambition has been accomplished we believe “Mo can make the struggle in future life with ease. The reason “Mo chose the “Sons of Rest ivas because he knew he woidd have plenty to do other than drilling if he was going to be able to realize his great¬ est ambition. Glass, Virgil C. Gilmer, Texas A g. A dministration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; North East Texas Club: A. A. Club; R. V. “Click” “Private” ‘‘ Click’’ hails from the town of Gilmer, but he can ' t help it. He will do anything for a person that needs his help; and will go old of the way to do for others. “Click has a fine personality and is quick in his actions. He has a human dyna¬ mo of nerve, grit, and stickahility. He is al¬ ways jolly wherever you find him. While at his studies he works hard and in earnest. He has his fun when h is work is over. As to his love affairs, he does not seem to be worried, probably it is that he has not found that “someone” yet. Page 6o Glenney, Ralph H San Antonio, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Co.

He seems to he a natural horn Chemist, Mathe¬ matician, and anything that goes to compose a master Mechanical En¬ gineer. If this devout follower of Fetter son and Fermier is as suc¬ cessful in life as he has been at A. and M. College, there is nothing that can stop him. How¬ ever, Glenney is not a book-worm for it is he zuho has the distinction of being the soundest sleeper in the class of ' 25. He sleeps only thirty feet from the Bugler ' s post and never hears a call. This is further proof that he does well that which he undertakes to do. Gohlke, Venor H. Cuero, Texas Chem ical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. D, Inf.; Chemical Club. 11 Wookte” “Wookie is the per¬ sonification of all the desirable qualities which we look for in a real man. He is usually deliberate in forming his convictions, yet you may rest assured that he has the right view¬ point with regard to every question, be it a moral principle or mere¬ ly a small problem of Dukes. He is mod¬ est, unassuming, and perhaps a trifle taciturn, and because of these his true worthiness is only fully appreciated, by those who really under¬ stand him. However, he is the ideal friend in every sense of the word. He lives to work. Gonzales, Rafael A. San Antonio, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 20; 1st Lt. Ar¬ tillery Staff; A. S. M. E.; San Antonio Club; Chess Team; Newman Club. “General” Ralph is a man whose finer qualities cannot be set down in cold print. He is of the reserved and assuming type, which makes it neces¬ sary to know him well to appreciate to the fullest extent the finer qualities which underlie the reserved exterior; a gentleman in that he is always considerate of the opinions of others and willing to accept adverse criticism for its face value; a student in every sense of the word. His ability to think clearly causes his opin¬ ions always to be re¬ spected by his asso¬ ciates. He expresses his beliefs without fear of public opinion. To his friends he is always loyal and true; to his acquaintances he is al¬ ways courteous. Goodenough, H. F. Alice, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; A. S. M.

Cabinet; Methodist Student Cabinet, Pres. ’24-’25 “Goody” Here is a friend, a scholar, and a Christian gentleman, always ready to lend a helping hand, who has made many friends at A. and M. Goody is small in stature, but his clean, clear thinking and his determination to do big¬ ger and better things have made him a big man in the minds of those who know him. He had not been at A. and M. long before he began to make us all take notice of his scho¬ lastic ability. A clear thinking mind with an unusual ability to see into the most difficult problems have made Goody a leader in all his classes. His mark is high, but knowing him as we do, we feel that he will surpass this mark as a Mechanical Engineer. Goss, Henry V. Abilene, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co.

When not in the class room or in Sbisa ' s E m p ori u m of eats, Smokey is in a battle with his fellow sufferers, w h ence his n a m e Moco, the battling Eskimo.

Page 0 Gough, Roy II. Hereford, Texas A A dministration Age 27; Casual; Ma¬ sonic Club; Panhandle Club. “Gough” Honesty, hard ivork, and thoroughness,—his watchwords. He is a man four-square, doing his best at all times. He came to us from the wide reaches of the Western Plains, and the spirit of that section is reflected in his charac¬ ter. Serious minded, yet not a prude and far from being a “Sissy, Cough is recognized by his class-mates and friends as being an Aggie that will never reflect anything other than credit on his Alma Mater. Roy has recently tak¬ en unto himself a better half, and is no more the authority he was of old. He has now a very dignified and so¬ phisticated air, but who wouldn’t if they were in his shoes? Grace, John F. Cotulla, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. B, Inf.; Sout hwest Tex¬ as Club; Kream and Kow Klub, President. “Johnnie” “Johnnie is a true Aggie—and when we say this, we mean far more than one may think. His sincerity of purpose, his devotion to duty, and his pleasing personality have won for him the respect of all who know him. For we know that at all times Grace does what he considers to be the right thing; and since he always thinks for him¬ self, we judge that he believes that “what one thinks is right, is moral¬ ly right. This alone woidd make us admire him. “Johnnie will soon be a full- fledged Dairy Husbandryman, and the world is sure to hear from him alohg the line of his occupation. He is capable of putting things over in a big way. Graham, Joy M. Anarene, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 20; 2nd Lt. Co. I, Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; N. T. A. C.

Grant, Jack Corpus Christi, Texas Ag. Administration Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; N. T. A. C. Club; Corpus Christi Club. “Jack” Jack joined the class of ’25 in September, 1022. He had just completed a year at North Texas Agricul¬ tural College and so was prepared to step in and take his place among members of this class. Jack’s disposition, one. of silence and firm¬ ness, demands the re¬ spect and admiration of all who know him. He has always shown a willingness to do his part in making the activities of his class successf ul ones. There are few men who come to A. and M. and show the ability to make their work in the class room count as Jack has done. Greenstreet, W. H. Laredo, Texas Ag. Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop A, Cav.; Ag. Engineering Club. “Buck” Our great Creator must have had in mind a model man when he formulated his plans for Buck, because he is a man true, clean, quiet, and unassuming. He is quite a ladies’ man, but “a man ' s man for a ' that, and so it is with him. Buck came to us from ‘ jacindad acerca del Rio — Laredo—and still we wonder why he is always wanting to go home. Probably it is the “moist atmosphere. Really he is not as mean as he looks. Just ' cause he is from the Mexican border does not make him a des¬ perado. He is very quiet, extremely hand¬ some, and a typical Texan. We knoiv he will ca ' , ry the old A ggie fight and spirit with him. No doubt he will soon own and control most of Mexico, and will set up an A. and M. of his own. P igt 08 Griffin, George B. Henderson, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 25; 1 st Lt.

And when he arrived we knew he ivas here, because ive heard him. He has that force of character and per¬ sonality that command for him your attention. An orator, a diplomat and a soldier—we re¬ spect and love him. Grif, old boy, go forth into the world and pro¬ claim for yourself that which is yours—the uni¬ verse—and take it. Griffon, Lee H. Beaumont, Texas Civil Engineering Age 28; Casual; Beaumont Club; Ma¬ sonic Club; Fish Foot¬ ball ’22; Varsity Foot¬ ball ’23. “Butter” In years to come, when this class is scat¬ tered to the four corners of the earth, one of the men remembered best will be “Grip. An outstretched hand, a warm smile, and hearty greetings — that ' s “Grip all over. Ever ready to help and join in all our activities, he has been a constant source of pleasure to all who know him. He has an enviable recoid in athletics and all college activities. He is from the old school and as a result he has that real, true, old Aggie Spirit. We have never been able to delve very deeply into his past with the ladies, but from the sublime look in his eyes when certain names aie mentioned, we judge that his cases d’amour are about over. Grissom, Samuel B. Grandburg, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Air Service; A. S. M. E. “Sam” At times when we have gazed upon this serious countenance, it has given the impression that Sam ' s best friend has tabooed him forever. But no, gentle reader, he was just thinking. He has always been an ardent patron of athletics. While he con¬ tinually talked of being found, he never seemed to worry about it enough to make him gray from, over-study. So we find him sliding along with the rest, while he should have been up amongst ' em. Be it love, war or athletics, keep your eyes on this man as he steps out. You can be as¬ sured he will always give you a square deal and be a true friend. Grissom isn ' t much of a social lion or tea hound, but you can bet your fur-lined bath tub he has one of those sweet little things eagerly awaiting his return home. Grogrinsky, Ross L. Bryan, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; Casual; Bra¬ zos Co. Club. “Gro” “Gro is Bryan ' s si¬ lent admirer of women. He is earnest, hard¬ working and sincere in his efforts. Here ' s to the man whose hand, when he grasps your own like a grip of steel, makes you feel you are not in the world alone. He has seen fit to invest his efforts in the field of vocational Edu¬ cation, and judging by his scholastic recoid, and his prevailing records as an all-round man, we feel no un¬ easiness about his ability to maintain these stand¬ ards after he leaves college. Grout, Thaddius T. College Station, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 23; Casual; Kream and Kow Klub; Distinguished Student. “Thad” It is a long, winding path that leads one f rom Minnesota to Texas A. and M. College, but Thad traveled it. Speak- ing of military, that was Thad ' s middle name. He cast his lot with Black “I Company of the “Sheiks,” and was soon known all over the campus for his military posture and his neat appearance. If all Northern people have cold disposition and are rather harsh, then Fate knew that Thad was going South. Yes, Jazz and every other kind, and there are few who do not envy him when they see him pound the ivory. Besides being a dis¬ tinguished student and standing well in his classes, he came from under a handicap and made the International D. II. Team. Page 6 q Guion, Wade F. Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Ape 20; Major, 1st Battalion Inf.; Capitol City Club; Dallas Club; West Texas Club; A. S. M. E.; R.

He h as changed home towns several times, some of which are Ballinger, A ustin, Navosota, Shi- lo and Ft. Sam Hous¬ ton, last named being the most liked. His ambitions were two: to become an M. E. —really people do have such ambitions—and to go into the A rmy as an officer. He still desired, and, if he passes Eco., probably will become a prominent M. E., but, alas, the second ambi¬ tion met a sad and ignoble death on Jidy 1914, on the W. ' IF. White road, Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. Gunter, Addison Y. Sivello Bend, Texas Civil Engineering Age 19; 2nd iw Co. I, Inf.; N. T AwC. Club; Cooke Co. Club; C. E: Society. “R. G.” “Yancy” “Yancy” is one of. those precocious boys that ranks along with Williams Cullen Bryant. He entered College at the age of fifteen, and teas ambitious as ’well as being young. But soon after entering Col¬ lege his voice began to change from a high tenor to a deep baritone; he began to take on some very manly character¬ istics and has devel¬ oped into a real “he” man. Yancy has always been studious, but not to the extreme, and at the same time has had an interest in college activities; has a fine sense of humor. Yancy is a boy that is liked by all and is hated by none. This old world has treated some of us pretty roughly but has never beat Yancy out of anything. Gurinsky, W. L. Gonzales, Texas A g. A dministration Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. D, Inf.; Ag. Adminis¬ tration Society; De Molay Club; Caldwell- Gonzales- Guadalupe Club, Vice-Pres. “Peter” G- u-r-i-n -s-k - y— That ' s a fine line. Why do they call him Peter 1 Grapenuts — there ' s a reason. This military genius made one of the most remarkable records in Peteriology at Camp Travis that was ever made by an R. (7. T. C student. Tie tells us the Army will be his choice after graduation. This black hailed Valentino, heart smash¬ er, hails from Gonzales, the place where he and Santa A nna fought the battle of “Bull” run. His motto is eat, sleep and be merry, for to¬ rn orr o w —-1 o m o r r ow Peter may be after you. Wofford is a pro¬ nounced optimist and can always be remem¬ bered by his hearty laugh and smiling coun¬ tenance. By him no friend has ever been refused a favor. Guthrie, Sy Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 20; 1st Lt. Co. B, Inf.; A. S. M. E.; DallasClub; RiHeClub. ' “ Sx ” “jEtfLY” Sy ' s main hobbies have been blasters, bul¬ lets, and boilers. ' Tivas during his sophomore year that he met the blind date from Rice who was to blight his life. Co-operatively they were a knock out at the dance, squelching the terpischorean a mbit ions of everyone whom they came in contact with and knocking out several chaperones ' in their mad circuits of the floor. Sy, however, like pre¬ vious geniuses, converted his shortcomings into “best sellers” and today stands on the pinnacle of success shrouded with a cloak of triumph, having completed three years of practice in power plants and one year of Fuzzy ' s theory on the same hot subject.

His voice zaas raised at intervals in a cry—“The British are coming.” This was Paid Reviere; he lived many years ago—but today ive have just as great a horseman in the redoubtable Irish¬ man, Hallaran. “Pat ' s” booming voice can be heard for miles, ivhen he drops his lower jaw and proclaims to the world the cry of the Celts.

Troop A, Cav.; Dallas Club; Chem Club. This tall slender boy “Dinky” came all the way down Soon after his arrival from New York to A. Dinky began to special- and M. to seek higher ize in Chemistry, but in learning. And his mo¬ tor cycle came down behind him. Tie has realized to no small extent that even an E. E. student needs social ac¬ tivities in that he has varied two coulombs from the old set E. E. ride of, to the Mess Hall, to the room, and to the class room. Even though he has made good in E. E. he has diverged from his books to make friends with the boys around him. We would that other E. E.’s would do likewise. Although “Hals is a Yankee he is well known, well liked. Come on boys and ga ther round There is going to be a ' hot time in the old town For “Hals” has his o ld cob pipe and His Drummonds too. spite of this he has good sense. As a result of his action Dinky has been busy showing “Duke” Thornton ' and “Papa” Stone that he knows chemistry, and we know’ that they are firmly convinced of his knowledge. Dinky has one distinct character¬ istic, that is his sus- ceptability to members of the fair sex that have¬ red hair. The fact that the friendships we form while in school are more important than the knowledge we gained through books is ac¬ knowledged by all Dink ' s numerous f riends. We would prefer to have his friendship any day to a pass in Thermody¬ namics or Organic Chemistry. Hardman, John J. Leonard, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop B, Cav.; Foot¬ ball ’22-’23’-24; Chem. Club; Fannin Co. Club; “T” Club. “Noisy” “Rattler ” Noisy came to usy from the small town of Leonard and has suc¬ ceeded in broadcasting it and other facts thru all Aggieland, hence The nickname Noisy. Altho he is a- small boy he undertakes everything he, goes to do in a manner that would disqualify this statement. A more energetic, hard working boy both in the class room and on the athletic field would be hard to find. When on the athletic field he fights with that consistent, ag¬ gressive and determined spirit that has made many of his opponents regret the day they chose schools against him. The spirit of fight to win, that has been instilled into him on the athletic field, he carries out in his every undertaking. We know that in life only success can await a man with characteris¬ tics such as his. Harper, Preston B. Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age.23; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Dallas Club; A. S M. E. “Molly” After all, what is it that has mad life worth while at A. and M.? It is men like Molly; big-hcarted, good-natur¬ ed, easy-going Molly. With his optimistic out¬ look on life he has made things brighter at our darkest moments. Molly believes that ' wor¬ ry is the greatest factor in shortening a man’s life; he evidently in¬ tends to live his full number of years. His initiative, his in¬ dividuality, and his de¬ termination to finish a thing once started, have given him a distinction among his classmates. He is never too busy to make a friend, but is usually busy making friends, and proves him¬ self a true and loyal friend. His ability to think has been proven in the classroom as well as on the outside. Harris, Hugh K. Temple, Texas Horticulture Age 22: 1st Lt. Bat. B, Art.; Bell Co.

He is a man who has successfully weathered the hardship of a college career, ever refusing to see the dark side of anything. By his ever-ready smile, by his fluent and enter¬ taining “line,” and by his desire to help a friend in need, he has ' won the friendship and love of all his many acquaintances. However hard the task may be, and however difficult may be the climb, we feel sure that you will be successful, Hugh. May sticcess be yours! Page 71 Harrison, R. J.

He. had hazy dreams of a great athletic and military career. Teddy made other mistakes before he be¬ came an integral part of the Old School, such as signing up for E. E., and getting mixed up in several mistakes with Calamity McClellen. But finally he sobered up, became a true Ag¬ gie, dropped E. E. for I. E., and dropped all girls, except that sweet youngster at Texas U., who is to be his better half. His greatest de¬ light is in itching his good-natured rummit, The Egyptian, and in hugging Pop Turman. Hays, Jack H. Ft. Worth, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. A, Inf.; Ft. Worth Club; A. A. Club. “Jackabus” Lives there a man with soul so hard, Who never hath bought himself a Y card?” Yes, Mr. Jack Har¬ per Hayes. Jack is an admirable character, strong in his convictions, but ever ready to listen to adverse argument. In the Spring of 1923, with a promise of a thick malted” ringing m his ears, Jack out- drilled all competitors, for which he was award¬ ed the beautiful Co. A medal. Jack ' s summer vaca¬ tions have been very colorful indeed. One summer he spent work¬ ing in a pig-mill. The next summer he jour¬ neyed to far-off North- Carolina to sell Bibles. He claims to have eaten 3 f miles of string- beans while up there. Instead of being dis¬ pleased because a rose bush has thorns, Jack is the kind of felloiv who would be pleased that the thorns were ac¬ companied by roses. Henry, H. K. Denison, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. B. Cavalry; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Red River Valley Club. “Apple” Here he is, fellows, that good-natured Texas Aggie. Just take a look at him, and I am sure you will agree that queer little smile will make any fair damsel ' s heart beat faster. Henry is another of our famous horsemen. So much has he become attached to the nags, he has remained an extra year with us. We know he will make a great fireman some day, as he can get the maximum speed out of any horse. Not many have been able to penetrate his disguise, but under¬ neath it all, we believe there is true fellowship and that true Aggie spirit, always fighting for the good of Old Aggie!and, and helping to have his name bla¬ zoned in glory above all others. He is proud of the old school, and we might add that the old school is proud of him. Age 22; Casual; Ar¬ chitectural Club; Waco Club. “Froggy” This diminutive ‘ ' big ' man has promised to startle the world with his creative genius. And he promises to fulfill his predictions, from the evidence of his ready pencil. Without this pencil, he would be as a Hebrew lad without his hands, for when words fail him he makes a feiv deft strokes and, be¬ hold! We have a picture that conveys the most subtle shades of mean¬ ing. In his search for new fields of art, he intends to invade the Old World. Let us hope that the foreign fair ones will not rob the American beauties of this rare bit of manhood. “Froggy” says his size has one big ad¬ vantage, and that is at mess time. He is al¬ ways at the head of the line, and never fails to get his. We know that he will go after success with the same great zeal and effort as he does his meals. Age 19; Capt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; A.

Such was his first visit to Aggieland, and it ivas this that brought him back in 1921. Registered as E. E., and then put in Company C, Sig. Corps. Such was his life as a Fish, until he called at fish drill o(f of a DOL- LAR BILL. Then came the years when the life as an upper classman starts. First Sgt. of Company B, and a Radio nut to boot.

Reared in the Oleander City, he has tempered his cosmo¬ politan finesse by as¬ sociations with the mias¬ matic proletariat. At home in the draw¬ ing room, or salon, in the bailiwick or the itinerant lumber camp, in the class room or the cabaret, the bull pen or the wrestling mat, Bear is thoroughly a man of the world, a gentleman, who is mark¬ ed as such in any environment, a Chester¬ field of the Old School. A Sir Walter Raleigh when with the ladies, a Henry Franck when on the road, a Zbysco in the gymnasium , a Corbett on the field of honor, he represents the well- rounded, educated, trav¬ eled A merican gentle¬ man. Hester, Blum E. Crockett, Texas A rchitecture Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Architectural Club; Crockett Club; R.

He has just about completed his edu¬ cation and it is one that most of ns fail—that of H. E. Flags were waving from every window, a little urchin crying “ Ux- tra, Uxtra, the band was playing that old familiar hymn, No¬ body loves a fat man, f rom the immense throng assembled on that me¬ morial day—Blum elect¬ ed Mayor of Crockett by an overwhelming ma¬ jority. During Blum ' s ear¬ lier days, his ability as an architect was dis¬ covered and put to use. Now he has earned a plan in the foreground of the great architects of the age. He has a keen eye for figures, stability and general conformation. Hiatt, Armstead M. Vernon, Texas Agricultural Education Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. D, Inf.; Panhandle Club; A. A.

He came from the wilds of North Texas, where only a broken-down barbed-wire fence is all that separates them from the North Pole. Since coming to A. and M. he is a changed Eskimo, but still insists upon hibernating fourteen of the twenty-four hours. Another great change ■wrought by his life at A. and M. is his attitude toward the fair, or unfair, sex, as the case may be. Now he is an ardent snake, dragging the ladies, one and all, as they come his way. A double character, Dr. Buechell and Mr. Hiatt, one time the terror of the A. A.

So what could he be but a plain, red-headed Mexi¬ can? Red has received some epistles which have made him tolerant, even of the C. E.

There are none of us who are not proud to call Red friend, and a true friend he is, with all that the word implies. Now, listen to me, Mis¬ ter.

Hodge, how¬ ever, is a natural poet; his fantastic and beauti¬ ful lines come to him in his dreams. We know this to be a fact, because he sleeks most of the time. Tie enjoys a good nap in each and every class. We understand the College has presented him a bill for excess room rent. Sleepy is a man we all admire. He has overcome many hard¬ ships and difficulties to obtain his college educa¬ tion; working hard day and night, the year round to remain with us. He has never been too proud to work and earn while the rest play and rest. He has a pride of organization and school that is equaled by few men. His company, the school above all. Page 73 Holder, J.

When told that freight trains passed through College Station, he immediately came down on one. Tie started his bril¬ liant career at A. and M. as a Pfeuffer Hall Rat, and with his ever- ready smile and his overfl owing generosity, he toon the love and respect of all with whom he has come in contact.

As a result of these characteristics, he was chosen Captain of his troop, a position coveted by every A. and M. man, and “Hop” has assumed the responsibil¬ ities and fulfilled the duties as no other man could. His amiable dis¬ position has won him great popularity, meas¬ ured by his host of friends. He has always ranked well among the best, whether it be class rank, judging, drilling, or with the gang. Besides being a natural leader, he is one that we are all proud to follow ' . Horton, Paul E. Greenville, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; Battery B; De Molay Club; Green¬ ville Club. “Puss” “Puss” has been noted for several accom¬ plishments while in col¬ lege.

It is said that his toilet supply is more diverse than his library. Paul is good natured, with a smile that laps over twice and buttons behind, for he has made it a practice to put all his worries at the. bottom of, his heart, then sit on the lid and smile. He is a genius at making friends of both sexes, and everyone knows why. Paul is a man who will make good wherever he goes, and the entire student body joins in wishing him a prosperous career. that of the Islanders since he is an Okla¬ homa product. As a- freshman, he. was small in stature, probably stunted in growth by dodging stray and in¬ tentional bullets around Oklahoma. During his four years here he has gathered on 40 pounds and four inches in altitude which make him a little large for a true Fiji Islander. He is a true military man, and is very en¬ thusiastic over the camps and drills that he can keep f rom making! His favorite weapon is the one-pounder, which he plans to introduce into Oklahoma social life as a train and bank rob¬ bing device. Howdeshell, A. D.

Tie came to Aggieland in the mem¬ orable days of ' 21. and took up duties as a Fish in old Company A , then located in Good¬ win Hall. There he spent his time when he wasn ' t “aired out,” for he was drunk with desire to master “coulomb chas¬ ing.” He became so adept at looking neat that all the ladies just adored him. Many of the fair sex woidd go blocks out of the way, just to see this mighty Egyptian. He dodged them as often as possible, as he de¬ sired to finish his course in E. E., and he has succeeded pretty well, but from all indications, he is about to fall at last. Pane 74 Huey, Paul Cleburne, Texas Ag. Engineering Age 24; Casual; Dis¬ tinguished student; Pres. Johnson Co.Club; Masonic Club. “Paul” P. Huey, better known in bone-rolling circles as Reprobate. His early ambition was to become a colporteur, but today his fame rests chiefly upon the wonderful grace and ease with which he extracts the lacteral secre¬ tion from the female sex of the bovine quadruped. His conglomeration of “chin music” is too scopious for our dimin- iPt i v e comprehension. He is a veritable lion among the formerly so- called gentle sex and not the least affected with platitudinous pon¬ derosity. His greatest asset is his ability to make friends, and his generosity is only ex¬ ceeded by his good looks. With his personality he could sell ice to Eskimos or red flannel underwear in the Tropics.

In 1921 this youth entered the portals of our noble institution and for two years he labored quietly in our midst until the Juniors got ready for a president and Arthur ivas it. He blows a mean horn in the famous A. and M. Band of which he is Captain. Bryan girls are going to miss Arthur because while living near old Mexico he learned how to keep the ladies guess¬ ing. This lad has probably been the cause of many dark eyed damsels casting them¬ selves in the cactus bushes, or to let a rattle snake bite them because Arthur passed them by.

When anything went wrong with the Fish Class of ' 25, the upper-classmen were on the lookout for Zim—and he always pulled us through. Zim rates high in the esteem of all of us, as we know him as a big, kind- hearted lad, always anxi¬ ous to do the best pos¬ sible for everyone—and we all admire this dis¬ position which Zim pos¬ sesses. He is the type of man all of us like to know and have as a friend. In Zim we find a man we often hear about but seldom see; he always has a good word for everybody—he is a friend of every man and every man is his friend. Hunter, Homer A. Ft.

Ted left Waco High in 1V2I with great aspirations of making an E. E. out of his vast poten¬ tialities, but upon ar¬ riving at this institu¬ tion, he decided to take A. A. Now Ted al¬ ways did like variety, so he changed to A. A., then to D. II. and then back to A. A. before leaving this June. When Ted first ar¬ rived some of us knew him as, well, a Woman- hater — but doesn’t a little time produce queer changes? Oh, Mister, especially time spent in the vicinity of Coxv Toivn.” All of us rate Ted high in our esteem, and rightly so. Ikvin, Fkances V. Corpus Christi, Texas Agriculture Age 21; Prv. Co.

Fanny has many dis¬ tinctions at A. and M. He is not only one of the most military men in Aggieland, but he gets more wild hairs than any other Aggie and car lies them through to completion.

Irwin, Kenneth W. Teague, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Adj.

The Dough Boys xvere the first lucky outfit, but they could not keep such an adventurous spirit, and the Air Service got Kee Watt. Kee Watt” is one of that race of men who do not fit in the con¬ ventional run of life. His untrampled spirit is alxvays seeking ex¬ pression, and his best friends do not knoxv what he xvill do next. He has a sunny nature, alxvays meets the world with a laugh, and he has many friends to laugh with him.

E. as a pastime. Hii three and one-half years have been spent in figuring out the shortest route to the Mess Hall. Life has been no bed of roses for Sweede since he came here. He had to live down the disgrace of wearing wooden shoes and a blue jumper to drill in his Fish year. When Bryan’s -WO xvas being made up, Sxveede was getting a haircut and was overlooked. Sxveede plays all games alike, and xvith but one big objective, and that is to win. James, William H. Greenville, Texas Textile Engineering Age 22; Casual; T. E.

He is alxvays considerate, unselfish, and never dis¬ regards, in any meas¬ ure, the rights of his fel¬ low associates. James expects to con¬ quer the fields of Textile Engineering afte Kill¬ ing the Sheep this year, but he realizes that Heights of great men are not attained by sudden flight, and he goes on the theory that patience and per¬ sistence makes the ideal of today the attainment of tomorroxv.

D, Inf.; International Stock Judging Team; West Texas Club; Sad¬ dle and Sirloin Club; Newman Club. “Skeeter” We nominate to the Hall of Good Fellowship one “Skeeter Johnson of Uvalde. The reasons are manifold: first, be¬ cause he has not fallen a prey to the “almighty drag; and because he combines the common sense of a “horse with occasional flashes of the good “cowman.” He has a wicked “line,” parts his hair in the middle, has a winning smile, and now you see how he gets such a good start towards the heart of the unsuspect¬ ing females. Of ro¬ mance he has had his full share, always sur¬ viving with a smile, and none the worse for wear. Johnson, Howard R. Paris, Texas A r chi tec Hire Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Co.

During his four years at A . and M. Howard has made for himself a name that will long be remembered by his fellow classmates Emerson once said. “It is easy to live after the world ' s opinion; it is easy, in solitude, to live after our men, but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with per¬ fect sweetness the in¬ dependence of solitude. Howard, then, is really a great man, for he is noted for his composure. He is one of the strong¬ est men on the Campus, and he has never abused the confidence of his fellows. He is reserved, but somehow he man¬ ages to make friends easily, and those who do not know ' him respect his cool, level - headed manner of aoing things. Johnston, John D.

They tell us that there are seven wonders of the World, but we believe that another has been added. After four years spent at A. and M., Pudd has learned to gracefully glide across the ball¬ room floor, sip tea with the art of a connoisseur, make love like a cooing dove, whereas, before, he only knew the bray¬ ing of a Burro. But with all these changes, he has not lost his f rank and open smile and his genial good nature. Jones, Charles II. Temple, Texas Textile Engineering Age 21; Capt. Bat¬ tery C, Art.; Bastrop Co.

A lady killer, a student of Textile En¬ gineering and military science, and only his light weight has pre¬ vented him from playing football. Fie is our idea of a versatile man. Hal has brilliancy enough to maintain a high position in scho¬ lastic work and still enjoy participation in all phases of student activities. To cut a len story short, and still do justice to Jones, we need only say that he was selected as Captain —and that he has won the love and respect of all the men in his or¬ ganization, who will do anything for ‘‘ Chubby.

We are glad indeed that he has at last realized his am¬ bition that became his four years ago when he entered this institution as a fish, that of receiv¬ ing his sheepskin. He is a man of pleasing personality and with a perpetual smile that has won him many friends. We are looking for him to make a good record in the game of life in his chosen field of work. We are con¬ fident that he will make a success because of the sterling qualities that are his and by his con¬ sistent hard work that has characterized his work while at A. and M. Kasper, Charles Shiner, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 2nd Lt. Air Service; I. E. Club; Lavaca Co.

Students who know Charles well will find him an outstanding character. He is a true, sincere, and loyal friend who will help out anyone. He is willing to take his share of the world and let other people have theirs. Never has a harsh word been spoken of him. Kaufman, Joseph M. Dallas, Texas Industrial Education Age 26; Battery C, F.

Since that memorable day he has won many military honors. Due to his aptness, an unfailing accuracy in casting tor¬ pedoes and ‘‘Bawmbs into the court of Fort Legett, he has acquired the titles Pancho Villa and King of the Can Rollers. Among the many la¬ tent talents concealed be¬ neath a brilliant per¬ sonality must be men¬ tioned that one so re¬ cently developed in the public speaking course, namely the art of telling Bedtime tales and quot¬ ing poetry from the recent issues of Saucy Stories. Kearney,Edgar N.J r. Money, Mississippi Animal Husbandry Age 24; Casual; American Legion; Sad¬ dle and Sirloin Club. “Jack Rabbit” Jack Rabbit came to us from Mississippi A. and M. with a color¬ ful career behind him. After one year there he left to answer the call of the flag. After the way, he returned to his alma mater and in 1920 was chief of the yelling staff there. He is an orator of rare ability capable of inspiring that old Aggie fight into his hearers. The Rabbit is also an actor. In 1923 he was the star of the Turkey-day minstrel. He thrilled the 1924 rodoe crowd with danc¬ ing act that woidd have been a credit to George Whites. Wherever Jack Rab¬ bit goes he leaves a bit of his radiance. He is the kind of a man that is always welcome and al¬ ways at home, either in a drawing room or a bull pen. Keathley, John A. Olney, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. G, Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; North¬ west Texas Club. “Mule” John A. is character¬ ized by his hard work and a good ivord for everybody. He is a friend that will stick through thick and thin. We have all learned to love him because of his honesty, willingness and loving personality. Should this man never attain great heights we can rest assured that he has played the game fair. If success is not measured by loss or gain bid hoiv you played the game John will surely succeed. He is a sportsman and says he will try anything once but there is one thing that he will not try again and that is riding freight trains. Some of our men delight in spending their time in the bright lights. John takes his gun and pipe down on the Brazos for a duck hunt. Page gS Kennedy, Victor R.

He takes the Crockett papers along with his A. II. courses, and is a master of both. In fact, he is a master of anything that he undertakes to do. In II. E. he is unexcelled by anyone, for practice makes perfect, and every morning, after putting many hours into the mastering of this course, he springs lightly up and joins the company for the noon meal. He excels in other things also, as may be seen from his scholastic rec¬ ord and A. II. medals. A nd when you meet him you will be greeted with that ready smile and wicked line with which he has accumulated a wealth of friends. Kerr, George S. Thurber, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Bat. A, Art.; A. I. E. E.; Episcopal Group. “Dynamite” Dynamite entered A. and M. as a Fish in ' 21, fully resolved to take E. E., about which he knew nothing, except that one gets shocked when one gets mixed up with the ignition system of a Ford. He did nothing to improve the condition of his country in his Fish year, but in his sopho¬ more year he led his rummit ' s into research work concerning explo¬ sives. It was from this research that George oh- tainedthe beautiful nick¬ name “Dynamite ' .” From the said research he also receives credit for the torpedoes thrown in Leggett. Aside from explosives George has done his duty as he saw it. We knoiv that he will suc¬ ceed in his chosen field of work. Kim rale, Otis H. Alpine, Texas Agriculture Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. D. Inf.; R.

Our Otis hails from the wide-open spaces where men grow six legged and the sun does its duty. This aelightful soul- holds the proud title of “Goldie,” due to the color of his hair. “Gol¬ die” has more points and striking character¬ istics in his makeup than a five-carat Tiffany Rock — cool, unassum¬ ing and gentle. “Goldie” always exerts that un¬ conscious influence which, invariably brings calm out of the most trying situation. Ts yet he has never failed to deliver the mental accomplishments when the end rolls around. Kindle, John AL AIcKinney, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 24; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Chem. Club; Collin Co.

Frankness, sincerity and devotion to con¬ victions, are the out- standing characteristics of John. He is a man that thinks for himself and he is always willing to stand up for what is fight. These character¬ istics, together with a jolly disposition, have gained for him an en¬ viable number of friends. Now, John, as the time, comes for us to part, those of us who have been closely as¬ sociated with you are saddened by the thought of your leaving us.

He is a quiet sort of fellow, who attends strictly to his own business, which accounts for his success in his academic work. We, who have learned to know him, treasure his friendship highly. We. look forward with much anticipation to the time when in the wee small hours of the night he will be rocking a cradle instead of the slide rule.

' ' Well,from the land of red soil, redder water and high winds, thru drifts of sand, and the menace of wild animals, came the most adorable, of Eskimos. This cherishible, ready smile is always beaming like the sun to his far northern home, while his true friendship is desired by all -who come in contact.

Teague, Texas Industrial Education Age 20; 2nd Lt. Co. B, Inf.; R. V. “Shorty” Ward came to us from Teague when he ivas a lad somewhat less five feet four inches tall; hence he acquired the very appropriate name of “Shorty. Al¬ though small of. stature, he is a man with a big heart, and he is loved by all who know him. There is one peculiar feature about “Shorty” that we have all been unable to understand. He vows that he is going to live the life of a single man through his career; yet we are impressed with the fact that he is very popular with the ladies, and in fact, he is a real heart crusher. Ward is a true Aggie that stands for high morals and square play. Through his pleasing personality and admir¬ able character, he has won a great number of true friends. “Red” is a real Aggie. Many a time has he been discouraged, but with the determination that characterizes only an Aggie, he has come back and fought hard, and flow has won the victory. If we should look this country over for a truer friend than “Red,” our search woidd be in vain. When it conies to handling the. old weed, he can even eliminate Pat Hallaran. Furthermore, “Red” has the women checked off his schedule, because the “only one” has per¬ formed exactly with ‘ ‘Prexey ' s’ ’ prognostica¬ tion which was made four years ago. He has co-operated with the fac¬ ulty in so far as geogra¬ phy and spelling are concerned, as every fish has learned the location of and how to spell the old “burg” — Pfluger¬ ville. We have here a young gallant tvho is easily affected by the wiles of women. This smiling fact shows that. Yes he is such a sheik, that he can two-time the ladies and get away with it. “Lighty” began with us as a chemical engi¬ neer but dropped out of school, and came back to take the course in science. He hit his cue when he took up this course, because he is making an excellent rec¬ ord in his studies. In Yoakum, “Lighty” is hailed as the premier pitcher of the city, but at A. and M. we have not yet seen him demon¬ strate his prowess as a hurler. We know him only as a gentleman, and our best friend. Some do, and some don ' t. “Lighty” always does, and so he has won himself a host of friends who will hate to tell him good-bye. ■ 9 MMI Page So Langlotz, W. E.

He is the sort of man that never goes back on his word and is as true as steel; respected by all of his associates. This year Willie has served the Aggie Band as bass drummer—in other words, he has beat his ivay along. For over a year he pounded the ivory for the Aggieland Orches¬ tra, and as a piano player, he is excellent. And when it comes to the girls, well, good- bys, other Aggies, Willie will get ' em. All in all, he is a good sport, an honorable man and a true Aggie. What more could a man wish? Larkin, James C. Bremond, Texas Industrial Education Age 20; 2nd Ft. Co. B, Inf.; Robertson Co.

It is not until he gets a little behind in his school work that he shows that he is a real master of books, and in the end he always comes out on top. Jim’s ability as an Athletic coach is clearly shown in the intra-mural contests. His team always was a winner. Jim has the character and the personality that are sure to bring him success. He is a man you hear of after he has achieved success rather than before. He makes his actions speak louder than words. This all goes to make him an ideal Aggie. Jim is just an old farmer boy like the rest of us, and he is proud of it. He is a man of nature, and fits in with all the wonders of old Mother Earth. Jim says that This ain’t such a bad. ole world after all. Ledbetter, John J. Blytheville, Arkansas Civil Engineering Age 23; 2nd Lt. Bat. C, Art.; A. S. C. E.; Masonic Club. “Blister” Emerson once said, A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature! Those of us -who have, been fortu- nateenough to know Jack intimately, find him to be a man among men, in the true sense of the loord. A more sincere and honorable man can¬ not be found anywhere. Jack is a man gifted with a vivid imagina¬ tion. After hai ing once expressed his thoughts, we find that he has the grit and determination to stand by his true convictions. Thus we find Jack a loyal, trust¬ worthy and true friend. I ' ve often said the Prince of Wales hasn ' t any reason to be es¬ pecially stuck up. Right here in our midst we have the fashion-plate, the well-dressed man, and the social leader of any community. Le May, Victor Ft. Worth, Texas A rchitecture Age 21; Capt. Bat. A, Art.; Arch.

Worth’s stilly air, heralding the ar¬ rival of. little Victor. The promise shown by the lustiness of this screech wasfulfilled when the broad grin, sur¬ mounting an Herculean physique, entered the portals of old A. and M. ' Twas Victor! The char¬ acteristics indicated have stood him in good stead. Smiling and carefree, he goes his way, finding fun where the rest of us fail. Captain Victor is popular with the ladies, and now days is seen with a big tan swagger- stick for protection. LEUSCH NE R, Ro B E R T L. Waco, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Bat. B, Art.; Waco Club, Pres.; A. A. Club; One Buttoneers. “Smiley” Bob was known the first year by no other name, than Smiley. This was attributed to a very amiable and admirable disposition that marks him as one of the best of chums. Among his many sterling character¬ istics is a strain of humor and a carefree altitude that marks him as truly Collegiate. He has a host of friends, and in after years these will prove a stepping- stone to the success that is bound to come. He is staunch and steadfast in his ideas and ideals, a man of whom his Alma Mater can truly be proud. But we shall always remember him as Smiley, who met us four years ago with a smile, and has carried that same smile with him all the way, lighten¬ ing the burden of others and lending assistance to those who found the way a bit rocky. Page 8i Lewis, Marlin D. Thorndale, Texas A Education Age 23; 1st Lt . Co. Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club; William¬ son Co. Club; R. V. “Dunk” Dunk was a fish hack in the ‘food old days” when might was right and that might was wielded by the rights of the upperclassmen. Dunk proved himself to he a truly good “fish ” With his winning per¬ sonality, neat appear¬ ance, and all round good qualities of fellowship, Marlin could not but help become a popular man, winning a host of good true friends. “A man ' s man and a ladies ' man.” What more ideal combination could be desired. “Oncea f riend forever a f riend” is to be his motto. Strong in his ideals, true in his friendships, and straightforward in his convictions. Coming from an un¬ affiliated school, Marlin has worked hard and has made good in scholastic work, always standing among the first of his fellow students. Lipscomb, P. C., Jr. Lufkin, Texas Ag. Administration Age 22; Band; Co.

Lipscomb. This second Demosthenes blew into Aggieland in ' 21 with a line as rare and flowery as a day in June. As a favorite among the fair sex he¬ lms few equals; already the heaits of many maidens of puchritudi- nous fame dangle from his belt. “Pat” was selected in ' 23 as the outstanding man for Junior Toast¬ master but was pre¬ vented from holding sway over the burlap grabbing sophs by action of the faculty, when the ban¬ quet was forbidden. As an Ag. Administrator he is second only to Dr. Buechel himself. Long, Pierre D. San Benito, Texas Science Age 22; Prv. 1st Flight Air Service; Re¬ serve Football ’21-’23- ’24; Rio Grande Val¬ ley, Vice-Pres.; San Antonio Club. “Squashie” “P. D.” came here in the good old days of ' 20, an ambitious Fish and with a craving for a college education. In four years at this in¬ stitution he has made himself many life-long friends and has in turn pledged and proved him¬ self a man not only in his work and athletics, but in his dealings with his fellow students. “P. D.” shall long be remembered for his “vocal” aspirations and his dreams of that “soar¬ ing life.” Yes! he plans on a future in the Aviation. “P. D.,” old boy, just continue your record started here in ole Aggieland in your future life and if you aren ' t “washed out” we predict a prosperous and happy existence, above this “terra firma.” Lyons, J. F. B. Ft. Worth, Texas A g. Ad ministration Age 20; Battery A, Art.; Reserve Football ’24; Ft. Worth Club. “Sleepy” If it ' s an ill wind that blows no good, what kind of a wind blew “Sleepy” Lyons to Col¬ lege Station. He hails from Cowtown mid came to us as an ordinary C. E. but soon switched, showing that he knew a good thing when he saw it, and we predict for him a bright future along his line. Sleepy is a “Lyon” among the ladies, but a man is a man for that and so it is with him. He shatters a heart wherever he goes and is a man without an enemy. We hate to lose you “Oldman” but you ' ve got our support and everlasting friend¬ ship for we know that whenever we are in need of a friend to stay with us, regardless of the under taking, we can call on you. McChesney, E. R. San Antonio, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Battery C, F. A.; C. E. Society; San Antonio Club. “Mac” Mac is very indus¬ trious. By his work he has come through college with a clear record. I believe implicitly in the value of labor, effort and perseverance be¬ cause I have seen them work in the case of McChesney. To all outward appearances he is of the average yet he has worked himself into a place above the average and he con¬ tinues to work after laurels are won, some¬ thing which few accom¬ plish. A nother striking char¬ acteristic Mac has, is he is careful with only his own business and does not pry into affairs not his own. Page Sz McClellan, Elias B Agua Dulce, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Reserve Foot¬ ball Squad; Rio Grande Valley Club; Corpus Christi Club; A. S. M. E. Club; Three Ks. “Tootsie” It was in September, 1021, that Mac made his debut into A. and M. College. From that time on he has been a student, faithful to the traditions of the Class, doing his share of the work that was required to carry out our plans. Mac has shown him¬ self to be a person with ability to make quick decisions, so after the Freshman year he cast his lot with the M. E.s, and since that time his chief ambition has been to master the principles of mechanics, and all else that goes with the ivork of a Mechanical Engineer. McCullough, W. R. Bryan, Texas Vet. Medicine Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. D, Inf.; Texas Vet. Club; Brazos Co. Club. “Walrus” “Walrus entered A. and M. with the deter¬ mination to win, and he has won, not only as a student, but he. has won the friendshib and re¬ spect of all his as¬ sociates. He stands for all the principles that make men, and in this he is a man. He has a smile for all, a disposi¬ tion that wins and a combination of that spir¬ it of service, self-con¬ fidence and honesty that makes him outstanding in character. They don ' t make many like “Walrus; so Aggieland feels migh¬ ty proud to have, a claim upon him. He is one of those quiet, un¬ assuming, fellows, whose personality and char¬ acter are bound to put him among the select and best. As a veterinarian, he is a credit to the College. McIver, A. W. San Antonio, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 23; Bat. A, Artillery; San Antonio Club; Kream and Kow Klub; American Le¬ gion. “Mac” Mac is the man of many travels and many experiences. He joined the navy dicring the war and saw the world through a porthole. He came back and entered A. and M. with the class of ' 25. He has had to ivork hard, to make his way, but this ha s not kept down the fighting little Artil¬ leryman, nor hindered him from making his College career a big success. Mac is another one of our bonnie and gay little dairy maids. Every morning early you can see him dashing up the main drag in his one- horse milk chariot, so that the rest of us may drink and survive. We thought he would be the last to succumb to the alluring ways of the weaker sex, but, ah! alas! he has gone. McKimmey, Allen A. Gustine, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 26; 1st Lt. Co. H, Inf.; West Texas Club, Pres.; Saddle and Sirloin. “Shorty” Fa i thful l it tie Mac, he never tires of serving his friends, especially the fairer sex. He de¬ lights in serving the ladies, indoor and out. On many occasions he has shuffled in and out of Sbisa’s dance hall with a girl on one arm, or on both. He never tires; the girls have to inform him when the music stops. “Shorty ' ’ is a man of small stature, but he has a heart larger than he is. His friends are never disappointed when they count on him for anything. He is a clear thinker, a quick actor and will stand to the last for what he thinks is right, but if he is shown he is in the wrong, he will grace¬ fully give in. He is clean in his habits, strictly temperate and a hard worker. His char¬ acter is founded on solid rock, and is sure to stand the storms of time. McNeal, A. M. San Antonio, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; Capt. Co. D, Inf.; C. E. Society, Pres.; Senior Club, Pres.; San Antonio Club; Chairman Senior RingCommittee; Long¬ horn Staff ’25. “Sgt. Cody” Staggering under the burden of trying to be a C. E. under the able guidance of Cue Ball Ritchie and J. T. L. Me New, “Sgt. Cody ’ ' has sought relief in wine, women and song. We ' ll be tactful and avoid the subject and wine, and having heard him sing, we will leave that out also — but WOMEN! He even surpasses the far-famed Valentino, as the bruised hearts of the butterflies from Houston and Washington can testify. He seems, hoivever, to have settled on the one far away, and has joined the romantic throng who sigh at the moon. “Ain ' t Love Grand!” All in all, Sgt. is a white man of the first zvater, a good pal and a true f riend.

Club; Masonic Club; American Legion. “Boon” “Booh” is a lone wolf of his oivn peculiar kind. lie is swift to hear and slow to speak, though his words are backed by clear, straight thinking when he does speak. Though “Boob” seldom draws up an indictment against his fellow man, he is slow to take people for heroes until they are thoroughly proven. Time is a sacred thing to him, and each day is a life. “Bennie” has a brill unit mind, which is self- entertaining. He is cautious, persistent, and apparently unassuming. He thinks, therefore, he is. There are no “emp¬ ties” in his train of thought. He sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears. He is satisfied with what he has and does not try to make his bicycle Cadillac. Maloney, Joseph H. Bryan, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. Cav.; R. V.; Brazos C ' o. Club. “Dizo” Joe is a man everyone is proud to call a friend. He is a trooper and a gentleman. Joseph al¬ ways looks for the silver lining. Things may look hard and even impossible, but some¬ how Joe always comes up with a smile and on top. A man of Joe ' s type will never know what defeat means, and we hope that he shall always be numbered among his many friends. Being adept as at “tripping the light fan¬ tastic” and guarding the fair sex, he has been our social repre¬ sentative for four years. He claims as all his own the Queen City of the Southwest. He plans to move 5th Ave. and Broadway to Bryan so that the Kaydets from A ggieland can be justly entertained. His f riend¬ ship and loyalty cannot be surpassed by anyone. Marshall, Eugene E. Bonham, Texas A gricultu re Age 25; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; N. T. A. C. Club; One Buttoneers; Sbiz’s Volunteers. “Gene” Gene came to A. and M. from one of the junior A. and M. Col¬ leges, the North Texas Agricultural College; he was one of the species known as Junior Fish and enjoyed all of the Fish privileges in his junior year. His one goal since entering A. and M. has been to pass Ag. Chem¬ istry. We congratulate him on his achievement. We wish Gene success in his future pursuits and the happiness that accom pa nies honest y and favors. Martin, Vernon Bryan, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. D, Inf.; Kream and Kow Klub; Brazos Co. Club. “Chief” Love for his country, love for his fellowmen, and a supporter of every thing that stands for the higher things in life — that’s Chief. He is a perfect example of the reserved, polite, chival- ric, southern gentleman that he is, and no man has deeper respect for women than has Chief. His classmdjes admire him because he embodies victorious effort; because he is prompt to help a friend; and because he has those virile qual¬ ities necessary to win the stern strife of actual life. It is said that “Chief” has made the statement that two could live as cheaply as one. We wonder what he meant by that, and we also wonder where he has been going every week end? Chief is a dairy¬ man of the future; he talks of milk and dreams of cream. Mast, Claude A. Dallas, Texas Textile Engineering Age 20; 1st Lt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; Sig. Cross-Country ’24; Ass’t Business Man¬ ager Fish Bat; Circula¬ tion Manager Long¬ horn ’25; Dallas Club; Textile Engineering Club. “Goodlooking” One seldom finds a better boy than “Claud.” Dallas may well be proud of this one of his sons, while again we might say, according to Hoyle, “Another home¬ town boy makes good.” Fate must have used this man as a toy for at first {long before he got that new pair of boots) it seemed as if Sousa might have had a neiv addition to his world-famed band in the form of a drummer boy, but then when he began to don the khaki and to put away childish things, that call which is for many but of whom feio are chosen, caught his ear and so learning he tried to follow in Mr. Stein- metz ' s footsteps. Page 84 Matern, Carl G. Marble Falls, Texas A nimal Husbandry Age 21; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Capital City Club; Interna¬ tional Livestock Judg¬ ing Team; Junior Stock Judging Team; Long¬ horn Staff. Though he has for four years been com¬ pletely encompassed in the perfumed atmos¬ phere of feminine in¬ fluence, he has still found a way to make a success of this place. He is a stock judger of rare ability, his special¬ ty being the young stock, preferably calves. Carl is one of these quiet, hard-working young men, who always does what he starts out to do, and does it well. He is an advocate of the old, saying that actions speak louder than words. We all know that where Carl acts, something is bound to happen. He has been a leader in the A. II. Depart¬ ment, and has well earned his wonderful reputation. Too much praise cannot be given him. Meitzen, Joseph B. San Antonio, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; Captain Co. F, Inf.; R. V.; San Antonio Club; “T” Club; Varsity Football. “Cotton” ‘ ‘ Cotton ’ ’ hails from the Alamo City. He en¬ tered A. and M. in 1921 as one of the slimiest Fish that ever got past the entrance to the Cam¬ pus. His raising up in Hacienda Goodwin shows up in his cold- hearted dis position. He spent his sot ho¬ mo re year in Bizzell Hall on a bed of roses, where he raised the Fish, even as he was raised. From here he went to the weather¬ beaten shacks where he spent his Junior year. He partook of the gridiron sports and is the possessor of a fight¬ ing spirit that never says die. His quiet attitude denotes that he believes in the adage that actions speak louder than words. As Captain of F Com¬ pany, and as a real fellow, there is no no¬ bler Aggie on the Cam¬ pus. Menke, Theodore M. Hempstead, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; Capt. Reg. Adj.; I. E. Society; Washington Co. Club; Masonic Club, Sec.; Battalion Football; Scrub Squad ’22. “Toad” When the name “Da¬ go is mentioned among his A. and M. friends and associates, there immediately appears be¬ fore everyone the vision of a man who is an athlete a nd a true f riend. “Toad is best known as an athlete, but he did not attain these honors without untiring and faithful effort. He play¬ ed football on the First Battalion team, then went on the scrubs and in ' 23 he made the Varsity squad, one of the most envied positions in the student body. When you are in need of a friend, one who will stand by you in trouble, console you when misfortune comes, Dago is always on hand to do what he can. Messenger, Frank Paterson, N. J. Industrial Education Age 25; Federal Stu¬ dent; A. E. F.; Ameri¬ can Legion; Masonic Club; Wanderers Club. “Frank” Frank has learned our customs, but has not yet learned to speak our language. He has been cut and butchered by adversity, but he has never lacked the courage to con¬ tinually and consistently push forward. Messenger ' s experi¬ ence has been varied and enviable, as compared to that of the average college student. As a civilian there are few jobs that he hasn’t tried with some degree of success, and as a soldier his services ranged from fighting mud and Huns to being secretary at the Versailles Peace Con¬ ference. Frank has the ability to draw on his own resources in order to conveniently adapt him¬ self to many and varied environments. Miller, Is adore Dallas, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Troop A, Cav.; A. S. M. E.; Dallas Club; Masonic Club. “Joe” Miller came here with many of the rest of us, on the Southbound train out of Dallas, in the Fall of ' 21. He has proven himself a true Aggie and can always be depended upon. Along with his extensive course in correspond¬ ence, he has thrown in his lot with the disciples of Doc Fermier. We can see none other than a successful career in store for Joe, as he always succeeds in any undertaking that he real¬ ly sets his mind on. This includes the vari¬ ous courtships he has passed through. Miller has made friends with everyone who knows him, and we all wish him luck. Page 85 ■itn Miller, Joe ( ' orsicana, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. A, Inf.; Chem. Club; Navarro Co. Club. “$1.9S As the curtain of College days is about to be lowered, one is able to look back upon the four years he spent in College, and ask him¬ self if they were spent to the best advantage. Four years ago a certain chap from Cor¬ sicana set sail on the good ship ‘ ‘ College Life, ' ' and many a stormy sea this ship has weathered —and now the port has been reached. We can all say that Joe ' s stay in college has been worthwhile; worth¬ while not only for Joe, but for those of us fortunate enough to be closely associated with him. Uncle Sam ought to be glad there aren ' t many Joes at A. and M. He has caused many a mail clerk to groan with agony at the weight of the letters he receives. ( Yes, one each and every day.) Miller, Louis T. Coleman, Texas Ag. Administration Age 23; Co. C, Inf.; Casual; Football ’22- ’23-’24-’25; Captain Football ’24-’25; Track ’23-’24; R. V.; West Texas Club; “T” Club. “Silent” Guided by destiny, Louie came out of the West, and when he finally ceased his wan¬ derings, found himself firmly established at Ag- gieland. From then on he endeared himself more and more to his com¬ rades and all Aggies. He progressed stead¬ ily, until, his hard working ability and ef¬ ficiency recognized, he was elevated to the joy¬ ous position of Captain of the 1924-25 football squad. Louie was one of the best punters and passers in the South¬ western Conference. He was a man feared by all those who faced him, but Fate failed to smile sweetly and tenderly up¬ on him, and he was forced to sufer the agony of a broken leg again. His leg was broken the first of the 1923 season also. Louie is a true example of the truest and bravest of all Aggies. Mims, Stanley W. Tyler, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Troop R, Cav.; Northeast Texas Club; Y. Cab¬ inet. “Mims” Here ' s a man that is an exception to the rule that a loud mouth indi¬ cates an empty head Mims is a man who has displayed a typical A. and. M. spirit during the whole of his four years’ stay here. He has been loyal to all phases of college activi¬ ties and has entered into them with all his char¬ acteristic spirit and ea¬ gerness. He has been a friend to all the good things m college life and an enemy to all of the evil things. He holds a position of es¬ teem and honor among his fellow students and, he is also important in Y. M. C. A. and re¬ ligious work. His ivillingness to serve, his clean living, his devotion to high ideals, and his genial disposition have endear¬ ed him to all of us, and we bespeak for him unlimited success in life. Moon, Frank H. Willis, Texas Landscape Arch. Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; Horticultural Club; Y. Cabinet; Methodist Cabinet. “Frank” Speaking of perse¬ verance, here is a man that never stops going until he has obtained that which he seeks. Moon is commended and loved by all who know him. He has obtained in three years that which many struggle five or six years to obtain, namely, that skin you love to touch. Every¬ one thought he would finish in 1926, until one cool morning he came out dressed in the regalia of a Second Lieutenant. In Moon we find only the characteristics of a real man, and he is a ladies ' man as well. A certain twinkle in his eye seems to draw the ladies as a lodestone draws pig iron. Good luck, Frank. Moore, Frank W. Clifton, Texas Industrial Education Age 23; 2nd Lt. Co. B, Inf.; Bosque Co. Club; One Buttoneers. “Shorty” Freddie came to us with great aspirations to be an E. E., but after two years of cou¬ lomb chasing, gave up, and is now an I. E., and one of the best. Freddie ' s home town, Clifton, should he proud of him. Hi is diminu¬ tive in stature, but mon¬ umental in ability. By his sunny dis¬ position and cool-head¬ edness, he has won the admiration of all that know him. His am¬ bition is to be a great traveler, and if we are not mistaken his jelly¬ bean hair will get him by. Dynamite, T N T, nitro glycerin, are all very powerful substances, according to Doc Hedges, but we stand here to say that never was so much power packed in such a small space as was placed in Frank. Frank does not only aim to get by, but gets there. Page 86 Moore, Leslie S. Comanche, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; West Texas Club; Kream and Kow Klub; John Tarleton Club; One Buttoneers. “Ike” “Rub” I key Rub Moore is an Aggie who has won his title by hard work and perseverance. By being closely associated with all of the Syna¬ gogue hops up North he honorably won the title of “Ikey Rub.” Ike hails to us from John Tarleton, where he worked his way through by extracting the secretions from the bovine. Although Ike worked hard, his work did not prevent him from being those to appear on t h e II 011 - orable Mention Roll upon graduation. Ike has made equally good in his work at “Aggie- lana,” and when he looks at a cow and says, “Let there be milk,” you can produce the coveted fluid, of tv Inch we get so much of at Sbisa’s Hash Bowl Moore, William A. Dallas, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; 2nd Lt. Battery B, Field Art.; Fish Track ' 22; Dallas Club; Episcopal Club. “Red Horse” “Angus” “Know ye all men by their presence” William A ngus Moore. Just one minute for explana¬ tion of the reason for using such a formal phrase in the opening paragraph. William being of old English ancestry thereby pos¬ sesses the chat acteristics of the English people. It is certainly a pity that chivalry does not exist today, because Wil¬ liam would make a most gallant knight of the “Bath.” Since times and fashions have changed he might be called a “Sheik.” William is known for his military ability, as being the most mili¬ tary man on the Cam¬ pus. He is the possessor of a stern manner along military lines, which helps further to develop his tactical and leader¬ ship qualities. Morgan, Chester L. Lewisville, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; La. Club. “Uncle Charlie” “Tia Carlos” Who have we here? A treat for all woman¬ kind. He is commonly known as Uncle Char¬ ley, the man who hails from the land of swamp- rabbits and creoles. As a “Fish” he stout¬ ly maintains that if all the food which he re¬ moved from mess hall for purpose of maintenance, of upper classmen were stored in Foster Hall every room would be filled. Due to the unselfish generosity with which he recounted his experience in the old days, he has created in the bunch quite a lively interest in the old home town — Lewisville. The last two years Uncle Charley has re¬ sided in Bizzell and then Goodwin, shedding light and knowledge to those less fortunate than him¬ self. — — If .v rf s jHr ' vir ' .jfia Mowlam, James A.

' 25; Report¬ er Episcopal Club; One Buttoneers. “Mike” Who have we here? None other than Mike himself. He is not a here, but better, for he is a man. Mike came to Aggie- land expecting to get that old sheepskin in Ch. E., but after the first term he saiv a brighter future in A. A. and it is that which he now follows. With little to say, following his own dic¬ tates in judgments and convictions, true to both himself and his friends, such is Mike. A man we honor and admire; his friendship is to be listed in the book of life among the assets. M ueller, Irvin A. Kenedy, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Battery C, F. A.; R es e r v e Football Squad 2 years; Turkey Trot Club. “Brick” Brick, like many others before him, came here with the intentions of revolutionizing the engineering world. Later though he shamed his early training by taking Agriculture with the “Administration” add¬ ed to tell the home¬ town folks about. For the four years that Irwin has been with us he has plugged, not only at his books, but also at the hearts of his f riends and class¬ mates. In his quiet and sincere way, he has won many friends. “Mule,” there is lots of nice things about you — but we ' ll just sum them up in three words — friend, gentleman, and Aggie. se Page 87 Mueller, Albert B. Brackettville, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. E. Inf.; !. E. Society. “Abe” Cute little curly- hcaded boy” is the cap¬ tion under which he came into our midst. What a change he has undergone: under the uplifting” influence of the upper classmen, he has become with his quiet manner .quite hard- boiled, and has taken his place in the ranks of men. That the pro¬ cess was nerve-racking is seen by the way his hair now stands on end. Mueller has the punch, nerve and ability for a big job, and his ready grin will carry on till he gets it. lie is ordinarily calm and col¬ lected, and is a hard man to make excited or embarrassed. His classmates will remember him for his smiling good humor, and his ready assistance in the several and varied problems. Muller, Jerome A. Livingston, Texas A g. A dmhiistration Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; R. V. “Dirty” From the first glance at this picture you can readily guess that “Dir¬ ty” is one of the social lions of Aggieland. Not only has he the habit of dragging to most of the dances, but usually falls in love with every “frail” he drags. He has been in and out of love so many times that we seriously doubt that he will ever find the right one. However, his trivial love affairs have in no way interfered with his military effi¬ ciency. His divine features are so attractive that he has become a modern “Don Juan.” Muller was never known to par¬ ticipate in either activi¬ ties or studies, but he stands well up among the 400. Muller, Marches H. Brackettville, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Sig. Corps; Epis¬ copal Club; Sbisa Vol¬ unteers; Southwest T exas Club; Fish Wrestling ’22; Varsity Wrestling ’23. “Bull” Bidl graduated from high school in ' 20 , and took a trial at business, and after covering a field of occupations, de¬ cided that he did not know everything, and came to Aggieland. Here he started out as an E. E. and followed that for two years, until he was persuaded by one Mr. Rhodes of the E. E. Dept, that he was wast¬ ing his time on the wrong calling, and not wishing to leave. A. and M. he took up Industrial Education, and it seems as though he has found his calling. Little Muller comes from the land of sand and cactus just north of the Rio Grande. He is not dignified and stern as befitting to a Senior, but he is a good sport and stands up for the right, or anything he believes is right. Myers, Philip Agriculture Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin Club. “Philip” With a college career such as Philip has just completed, how could he have started but with the ole “Pfsuffer Hall Rats” of ' 23, when he furnished the power for the running wood and water, and answered the incessant calls of the upperclassmen. In his second year, his education was con¬ tinued in the “Tent City,” which befitted him well as he was endeavoring to conquer the secrets of nature. It was out here that Philip started on a career as a fight pro¬ moter. His first fight was staged in his tent one night, between two cats, and gained him much fame. His third and fourth years passed in quick succession; one in Biz- zell, and. one in Good¬ win Hall. Under the most trying conditions, Philip ' s spirit never failed, for he always pictured the silver lining just beyond. Noble, Stephen A. Greenville, Texas Ag. A dministration Age 21; Lt .

The “Sheik” of Aggieland is popular with all. Steve has made an excellent Colonel for the “doughboys” and will always be remembered as one of the outstanding military men of the campus. He was not at the head of his classes, neither was he near it. He labored, along near the middle, always fight¬ ing A. A. or one of its relatives. Page 88 Norwood, Shields Jr. Austin, Texas Ag. A dministration Age 20; Captain, Corps Staff; R. V.; Capital City Club; Navasota Club. “Chuck” In “Chuck we find one of the most remark¬ able Boll Weevil ex¬ tinguishers of the Age. When he was a moron, or sophomore, he ac¬ complished this, and his name was heralded far and wide in the Daily Bulletin. Don ' t think, men, that because he talks so slowly, he is slow with the ladies. He always has them “on the line, and he succeeds, too. He may talk slowly, so that the fair sex may have no chance to mis¬ understand him. Chuck is a true Aggie, well liked and respected, who never becomes ex¬ cited over any unex¬ pected arisings, and who makes the best of every¬ thing. The rank that he holds on the Corps Staff shows that he is no slouch in militarism, and he truly deserves it. Ogletree, James D. New Braunfels, Texas Horticulture Age 19; 2nd Lt. Bat. C, Field Art.; Horti¬ cultural Society; Com¬ al Co. Club. “Gon” Jimmy, alias the Gob. is one of those serious looking individuals who can turn impending tragedy into a joke by his ever ready flow of dry humor. His has the very rare ability of keeping quiet at the right time, and saying and thinking only good of his fellows. Jimmy took mechanical engi¬ neering for ' one term, and then, realizing his mis¬ take, he changed over to horticulture and has worked hard to overcome his handicap of one term. Jimmy hails from a town where shingles are unknown, but we hope that success will crown whatever shingle he hangs out. Ax a “Belle once said: “He has a way about him that you just can’t resist. We don’t know which movie contract he is going to sign, but “Val and “Doug had better enjoy their popularity while they can. Orr, William B. Dallas, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 23; 2nd Lt. H Co., Inf.; Kream and Kow Klub, Vice-Pres.; F ' sh D. H. Judging Team; Junior D. H. Judging Team; Inter¬ national D. H. Judging Team; One Buttoneers, Pres.; Longhorn Staff. “W. B.” This milk-fed youth hails from fair Dallas, as you can readily learn after speaking to him for a few moments. Of course cows aren ' t his only attraction in Dallas. He says that she is the one and only, that the good Lord only made one like her. Bassett has a way about him that makes a friend out of everybody with whom he comes in contact. They cannot help but like him and always desire his com¬ pany. He has a rare line that can only be surpassed by few. His most admirable trait is his sincerity and frankness. He plays the game square and above board. No one can say that Bassett Orr ever did them an in¬ justice. Owens, Jesse L. Stephenville, Texas Ag. Education Age 30; Casual; Tar- leton Club. “Jack” J. L. comes from John Tarleton College as a Junior Aggie, and enters the class of ' 25 as a senior. Living off the campus and being non-military, he has not had the opportunity of meeting many of the corps students, blit he is making friends fast by his studious manner and devotion to duty. He is an exception to that axiom that “once out, a man can ' t come back, as he has spent the last five or six years in the school room. Realizing that he could be of greater service to himself and to his state with more training, he entered A. and M. with the determination to bet¬ ter prepare himself for his life ' s work. Owens is a fine chap, and has acquired a reputation as a “Doer. Owens, Robert K. Gainesville, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Air Service; Cooke Co. Club; C. E. Society; One Buttoneers; Bat¬ talion Basketball. “Lard” “Thurman is a true ole Aggie, and although he leaves us this year, we shall long remember him as the originator of “one-legged tripods, and other indespensible C. E. accessories. Thurman ai t ived here as one of the famous “500 in the Old Fish days when Fish went through the mill and “no particulars asked or given. Throughout his four years here he has proven his sterling worth and through his personality and char¬ acter, has made many life-long friends. Lard is a student in the true sense of the word, and while “Bridges is his jinx, we know he will hang that ole horse shoe round his neck and move on. Page Sp Pakk, Leo G. Greenville, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 23; Capt. Adj’t C avalry; R. V.; A. S. M. E. Club; Troop A, C’av. “Zu Zu” Zu is a true trooper and as such has made many friends. There is none more readily accepted than he. Zu is a man among men — thinks straight and then acts. The Red Grange of our Battalion football teams. A great gust of wind, a great and a black speck disappear¬ ing on the horizon mark¬ ed the coming and going of our great Zu-Zu, another touchdown for the cavalry. Wc co hid describe him, with truth, as somewhat of an athlete, but we ' d rather expose him for his shameless sleep-walking and his tendency towards fright¬ ening the O. D.’s into sprinters and house maids into resigning. Patterson, Earl F. Galveston, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22: Sgt. Co. I), Inf. ' 21 -’22; Co. B, Inf. ’22-’25; R V.; Band; A. S. M. E.

Irishman” “Tubba” “Tony” Pat was seeking refuge from a storm in Galveston when he blew into A. and M. and it must have followed him here because he has surely been a whirlwind ever since he hit the campus. He came while the board was still in use and was properly brought up as a Fish with the famous Aero¬ plane Strut. True t o his whirl¬ wind style, he takes all the ladies in tow and with that happy-go-lucky Irish smile and that sleek blonde hair he is unsurpassed as a col¬ lector of feminine hearts. He is a Mechanical Engineer of no mean ability, as the name Tony indicates. Perry, Dick Mineola, Texas A rchitecturc Age 22; 2nd Lt. Troop C, Cav.; North East Texas Club; East Texas Club; Architec¬ tural Club; I. T. K.; S. F. U.; One But- 1 oneers. “McKim” “Kag” Dick is a Mineolan boasting of 22 summers, will now enter the busi¬ ness world to realize the ambition upon which his heart is set. He is a deep thinker — which makes his word supreme. The archi¬ tectural world smiled when Old Mike An¬ gelo himself decided to cast his chances with him. He is a gentle¬ m an and it scholar, and sue may expect of him a success and a place among the great men of the age. Kag, ’’ old boy, sue look upon you as our team, and sue on the side lines are doing all in our power to help you across your goal. Peters, Joe F. Giddings, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop C, Cav.; One Butt oneers. “Jody” Jody is a native of Giddings and the ladies ' man of that town. As a meal hound he cannot be beaten. As a student he ranks among the best. Jody is a hard svorker at either suork or play, and he has enjoyed a splendid career at A. and M. His winning smile has gained many friends for him of both sexes. Jody has a pleasing personality, he is a gentleman and the type of man sue all love and respect. For his good nature and big heart, Joe will always find a suarm spot in our hearts. To knosu him is to love and admire him. He neither fears nor favors the academic de¬ partment, and his ratio of study to those of recitation approaches zero as a limit. Pfafk, Albert G. Gainesville, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. A, Sig. Corps; Bat¬ talion Footbal and Basketball; Cooke Co. Club; A. S. M. E. “Bert” Bert drifted in from Gainesville four years ago with a strong de¬ termination to become in some form or fashion a proud possessor of a degree. He knew not at that time what course he suotdd pursue but finally with the per¬ suasion of Jonny Pierce and a board he decided that it woidd be advis¬ able to take E. E. It was none other than Bert Pfaff a fish rooming in the base¬ ment of Mitchell Hall, that was always willing Bert had accumulated many friends. He made his debut in athletics three years ago as he dashed madly on the field to save the day for the fighting Signal Corps Battalion football team. Bert has always had the true Aggie spirit. Page qo Porter, Charles M. Terrell, Texas A £ . Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Troop B, Cav.; Kauf¬ man Co.

He has fought the battle, and he has won a glorious victory with the five manly qualities that he possesses. He has won the friendship of every¬ one, and he has been a friend to everybody. He has never forced himself upon anyone—this was not necessary. Being a man to the last letter, his personality speaks out without the need of force compelling those around to “fall in love” with him, so to speak. Powell, Bert R. Bangs, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. I, Inf.; Coleman Co. Club; Kream and Kow Klub; One Buttoneers. “Bertie” “Bertie” Powell says he hails from Bangs, Texas. The only “Bangs” most of us have heard of arc on a girl ' s forehead; how¬ ever, judging from “Ber¬ tie ' s” achievements, Bangs must be a pretty good place. Powell is taking the Dairy Hus¬ bandry course and is eager to get his sheep¬ skin. Nearly all of us know “Bertie” indi¬ rectly, for we have eaten the ice cream that he made for the Dairy Husbandry Department. Those of us who have been in the same com¬ pany with Powell know that he is a very con¬ scientious worker—both in and out of school. His future will un¬ doubtedly be a bright one if he continues his hard work after he graduates. Powell, Guy M. Red Oak, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 22; Casual; Ellis Co.

Can ' t you look at that parted slick hair and winning smile and tell what ' s on his mind. Why, the boy has added another victim to his list. Be¬ ware of the “heart steal¬ er of Red Oak.” In spite of di fficulties, Guy has had the dis¬ tinction of finishing school in nine years, and beside this he will have graduated from A. and M. in only three years. During his years at A. and M. Guy has made good. One of his achievements is his being a member of the National Dairy Judging Team. As a member of this team he had the distinction of be¬ ing high-point man. Pye, Benier F., Jr. Beaumont, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. G, Inf.; Beaumont Club; Kream and Kow Klub; Vice-Pres. De Molay Club. “Bennie Frank” “Cush” Four years ago we met “Cush” as a lad from the city of Beau¬ mont, a place that he loves to talk about so well. He has two out¬ standing hobbies, ex¬ ploring vaults and ad¬ miring red hair. “ Cush ' s ' ' road to grad¬ uation has not been strewn with flowers, but his has been a rocky and thorny path. He has worked his entire- way tin ough college, which requires a man with self-confidence and a determination. He is a f riend true and tried, whose personality has won him more real friends than we can estimate and whose ac¬ quaintance you cannot affoid to miss. He is of the mold of men who make a success of life by hard work and we feel sure of his success in whatever profession that he may follow ' . Pyland, James W. Marlin, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. A, Inf.; Battalion Foot¬ ball ’24-’25; Reserve Football’24; Falls Co. Club, Pres.; One But¬ toneers; Methodist Cabinet. “Jim” Jim is one of those quiet men who does not say much but thinks and acts. He played on the reserve football squad in ' 24 and helped to produce the famous Aggie Varsity of that year. He hails from Marlin, but his heart is in Waco. On enter¬ ing this institution he cast his lot with the Fish of A Company on the top stoop of Good¬ win Hall. And it was during this year that he was especially noted for his military achieve¬ ments. Jim ' s ambition to show the farmers how to manage their ranches led him into the agri¬ cultural department of the school. If he con¬ tinues his good work after graduation he will surely realize his am¬ bitions. Page qi mmm Puckett, A. M. San Antonio, Texas A griculture Age 23; Casual, San Antonio Club, T Club, A. A. Society, Fish Football, Varsity Base¬ ball. “Manor” This handsome young cavalier, hailed straight from sunny San Anton¬ io, has won a place in the esteem of all his associates. His first claim to distinction came when he slid down the banister, when being urged by the Sophs to hurry up down the stairs. Cupid ' s dart, which is responsible for so many strange acts, has pierced Manor ' s coat, and may account for the frequency of his daily visits to a certain Dean ' s home, and for his very strange disappearances on many nights. Manor is a great baseball player, and we always get a big thrill when he steps up to the plate—a sure winner, a m a n thro it g h a 11 d through.

When he fin¬ ished this job and came back to school, he was recognized as a Man ' s man, and a leader. His friends have shown their trust in him as a military man by making him Captain of both Co. “C” and the R. V. ' s. Dick is an Animal Husbandry student, and while he has never won a place on the stock judging teams, it is asserted by his friends that he is a very com¬ petent judge of shapely “calves.” He is one of the few fortunate men who can pick and choose, as the fair ones fairly swarm, around him. Ramsey, Newell M. Huntsville, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 19; Battery C, F. A.; Pistol Team ’24-’25. “Newell” Newell is a chaser of coulombs who is not eccentric. Always ready for anything that prom¬ ises fun, but never in¬ considerate of men around him. Loyalty to his friends is a great part of his code, which, by the way, is truly the code of a gentleman. His choice of litera¬ ture has attracted to his room many of the deep thinkers of the A rtillery. With morals that are incorruptible, with men¬ tal brilliancy that has never been used to a m a x i m u m a n d w i t h strength of will that is not to be doubted, he is well equipped for life. Rankin, Edward L. Waxahachie, Texas A r chi tec lure Age 22; 2nd Lt. Troop B, Cav.; Ellis Co. Club; Architectural Club; Y Cabinet. “Ed” Ed came to us from Waxahachie and re¬ ceived his raising in the Cavalry School, then located at Austin Hall. True to his bringing up, he made a Sopho¬ more of Cavalry type, full of life, fond of jokes, but at all times thoughtful of others. At the end of his Junior year another transfer looked him in the face, and he ivas made Lieutenant in Troop D. A better liked Lieutenant never led a platoon down the military walk. Good luck, Ed. Ransome, William M. Bastrop, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 22; Capt. Adj. Sig. Corps Staff; A. I. E. E., Sec. ’24; Bastrop Co.

Moral: Never shoot too hot a line in your sleep. This domineering Don Juan hails from Bastrop, land of wine, women and song. He learned about women there and summer camp. Waco seems to have a strange fascination for him. We understand he is going to personally supervise the new elec¬ trical equipment for G. B. Hall. With ambition, a sprightly spirit and real ability such as he has, he cannot fail to attain any goal to which he may aspire. Page 02 Reedy, Wilson N. Greenville, Texas Special T. E.

He is one of the old school and learned right from wrong at the end of a board. For two years he has been the Drum Major of the Aggie Band, and trap drum¬ mer for the Aggie land Orchestra. Among “Newt’s” many accomplishments, probably his ability for consuming cheese sur¬ passes all others. An¬ other accomplishment of note was the fact that he spent two zueeks in Mexico without taking a drink. Wilson has many friends in Aggieland. Every man that knows him can always speak well of him. His nu¬ merous trips to Navasota also indicate to us that his friends are not limited to the male sex. Reid, D. L. Greenville. Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 2nd 1.1.; Greenville Club. “Sparky” “Dalton” is a man who profits by his mis¬ takes and surmounts whatever difficulty pre¬ sents itself. Without apparent eoeort he does his work and still has a great deal of time to devote to reading. A boy whose hair was grey before sixteen — small wonder that his demeanor is serious and his judgment sound. Steadfast and true — loyal friend — we have appreciated yon. His classmates will remember him for his smiling good humor and his ready assistance in their several and varied problems. Indeed, we do hereby plan all oitr money upon him as a prospective winner in the bame of life and chance. His friends, and they are many, look earnestly forward tofur- thei association with him out in the business world. Reitch, Tom C. Mineolp, Texas Horticulture Age 21; 2nd Lt.

His am¬ bitions are along the line of landscape archi¬ tecture, that is, making his plantation into a happy hunting grounds. For if there is anything Tommy had rather do than hunt quail, we haven ' t heard of it. Tommy has many pet theories and convictions that he upholds and stands for as staunchly as he does a friend. As a success he cannot be otherwise, for where there is a will there is a way, and Tommy has a thousand wills. All the world loves a lover and Tommy loves all Nature and its sports. Remschel, M. H.

Bunk comes from the Lexing¬ ton of Texas and we know that the historic city of Gonzales has something besides a col¬ orful history, of which this town may be justly proud. W h en you know “Bunk” you can under¬ stand why his friends are found in such count¬ less numbers. With his winning ways, he could dynamite an or¬ phanage and step out to meet the smiles of approval. He is a true gentleman and his ready wit and rare personality make him a trusted friend to every¬ body, and everybody a friend to him. Reynolds, Ralph R. Bryan, Texas A rchitecture Age 22; 2nd Lt.

Club; Arch¬ itectural Club. “Rusty” Excepting a few in¬ timate high school friends, no one knows just how this individual came to be called “Rus¬ ty.” However, it may he said that the name, in its true meaning, does not apply to Ralph; for it is not flattery to say that he is a man of high ambition, true ideals, and honest con¬ victions. With his pleas¬ ing disposition and striking personality, ive feel sure that there is a blight future before him. As a parting word, it is only fair to give “Rusty” credit for hav¬ ing a membership in the Rolling Pin Club. And friends he has by hundreds, who ' ll love him till he dies. We sincerely hope that his wife will do likewise. After he steps from the platform, June 2 , he will have acquired the two skins you love to touch. Page Q3 Rice, Millard W.

His record as a mili¬ tary man while in col¬ lege needs no further words than his bare accom plish ments. A n expert rifleman, howit¬ zer expert, pistol marks¬ man and member of the A. and M. Rifle Team. Riff shows striking qualities and a deter¬ mination that is seldom found in a college stu¬ dent. Being quiet and reserved these qualities are all the more pro¬ nounced. Richardson, Alvin I. Wichita Falls, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Capt. Troop A, Cav.; A. S. M. E.; Collin Co. Club; R.

As a breaker of hearts, he has no peer. Count¬ less are the fair damsels who have returned to Bryan weeping over his inconstancy. Hence the Brazos River. “Ike is a man whose star is still on the rise. To a spirit of untiring energy and high honor, A. and M. has added qualities of judgment, efficiency and devotion to duty, that predict for him a bril¬ liant future. Rodgers, Robt. I.., Jr. Gordon, Texas Vet. Science Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Tarleton Club; Veterinary Club; Palo Pinto Club; P ' t.

He fi n i s h e d h i g h school at Gordon and then at Ft. Worth, com¬ ing to A. and M. in February, 1921. After taking a year and a half of Agriculture, he chang¬ ed his course to Vet. Science. The wiseness of his choice has been proven by his success in the course. In appreciation of his good qualities the Vet. Club elected him president. He is a star at this position, and accomplished more the first month of school than had been accomplished the year before. Royal, R. Fletcher Pleasanton, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 20; 1st Lt. Co. B, Inf.; Kream and Kow Klub; “T” Club; Capt. Cross-Country ’23; Track ’22-’24-’25; All-Battalion Cross- Country ’22-’23; Bap¬ tist Union; Y Cabinet. “Track Star” An old saying is that good looks and a great amount of knowledge never go together, but here is a rare case where such happens. This fair com plexioned, rosy cheeked lad is one of the prides of Aggieland. He has been a track star for us for the last three years, and a leader in society and religious circles. We have often wondered just what methods he has used in remaining so good. Father Royal takes the boys into his con¬ fidence on many oc¬ casions, and warns them by telling them the right and the wrong. When¬ ever the track team leaves, Royal takes them under his wing, and protects them on their journeys. Rudd, J. C. Beaumont, Texas Ag. Administration Age 22; Beaumont Club. “Bubb” When the class of ’25 gathered its fold, it caught in the net a man we all know as “Bubb, and listen, Boys, the ladies think they have the right to call him by that name. We wonder what Turp likes to do best, glide across the floor with some queen, or sit in the pen, with a cut of fruit cake and all listen¬ ing to his experiences. The latter would suit Old Ben, and it is one of the reasons for his many friends. What is the use to have a friend if you can’t take advantage of his friendship some¬ time? So it is with Bubb. He is a friend to all, and one true and tried. Never was it said a favor was asked of him and he refused. Bubb is a man that looks the ' world square in the eye, and says what he thinks. We might add that he is usually in the right. Page 04 Schaefer, Elmo M. Schulenburg, Texas Horticulture Age 22; 2nd Lt. Troop D, Cav.; Horti¬ cultural Society; Fay¬ ette Co. Club. “Elmo” Elmo is a man who has endeared himself to all by his che erful disposition and his will¬ ingness to help his fellows. He has always put first things first in his college career, and has made an enviable scholastic record. As a man of wit, he is “Coty’s” closest rival. Elmo always enters into his work with his char¬ acteristic spirit of ease and calmness, and the Horticultural Field is indeed fortunate in re¬ ceiving the services of such a man. Elmo ' s ready smile has won for him a host of f riends at A . and M. His pleas¬ ing personality is equal¬ ly effective. “Elmo has never been accused of being a student. His talents lie in other fields. His fair complexion and skin you love to touch has already won him passage to Hollywood. Shiwetz, D. B. Cuero, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; Air Service; Thanksgiving Hop Committee ’22. “Buck” It is easy to tell where he hails from by the way he struts his stuff. He proved he had secret hopes for higher things when he came to A. and M. and joined the Air Service. Also, that he might better qualify to put in the first “air garage” he chose mechanical en¬ gineering as his course of study. His athletic ability was displaced wheti he lettered in horseshoe pitching. While he did not letter in washer pitching, he is one of the strong prospects for the coming year. Buck is a neat, like¬ able, industrious stu¬ dent, who has made many friends who will grieve his departure. Schmid, Albert D. Brenham, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. C, Inf.; C. E. Sociejy. “Abe” Albert Darwin is a direct refutation of his namesake ' s theory that man sprang from the ape. For of hi m it may be truly said “that grass does not grow upon a busy street. And if the absence of any downy covering up¬ on his pate is proof, we need never fear that we will ever revert to type, and find ourselves skipping about in the branches of trees. The man is so funda¬ mentally honest and true to his convictions that these characteristics have reflected themselves in his features. It is to Abe with his calm de¬ liberate judgment that his company buddies go when they find the road is rough and rocky. With his pipe in his hand and his feet on the table, he is equally ready for a long session with his books or to play his part as con¬ fidant. Schwab, Charles T.

A rare “fish indeed was “Chee Chee —winning hosts of friends with his pleasant personality. With al¬ ways a word of cheer for the gloomy—always op¬ timistic, seeing only the bright side of life, cast¬ ing worry to the four winds. “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. ' ' We sincerely believe “Chee Chee would do this for his friends if the oc¬ casion were necessary. He is a man ' s man, a gentleman, a f riend, loy¬ al, generous and true. Shockley, C. W.

Shockley has been with us for three years and during the whole of that time he has proven to be a true Aggie. He has characterized his college activities with a not-to- be denied determination which will make of his life a great success. The truth is “Shock is an “Aggie. There is one thing that places “Shock in a class by himself; he is not a “Sheik. The ladies seem to hold no attraction to him at all. Official confirmation, however, is lacking. “Shock has nothing to fear when he goes out into the world. Page p.5 Shook, Early M. Ft. Worth, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. A, Sig.

E. “Oiely” Earley is one of those rare individuals who has succeeded in work¬ ing hard and making good grades and still has found time to mix with the fellows and he one of them. Tie is a good sport in every sense of the word. His friends are numbered by the hundreds. When he first came to Aggie!and he established the envia¬ ble record of getting the name of a good fish. All through his other three years here he has kept those qualities which won him that name. With his ability to get down and dig, when necessary, his person¬ ality, and his winning smile, Earley is sure to go far into the cold, cold world. “Oiely’s” ideas concerning the fair sex are a mystery, but we have no doubt that some day our pride from Fort Worth will be smitten, even as the best of men. Short, Walter T. Silsbee, Texas A rchitecture Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. Cr, Inf.; Company Bas¬ ketball; B. S. Lb Cab¬ inet; Senior B. Y. P. Lb; Architectural Club, Vice-Pres, “Tommie” “W. T.” Tommie” came from the Southeastern part of the state. However, he is not a Texan, but d Missourian, as he has to be shown a few things sometimes. He entered in the fall of ' 20 and started in E. E., but later changed to A rchi¬ tecture. He is a very good student and usually gets what he goes after, and he knows that it takes determination to win out in the end. He is one of the few men who has stayed by his religi¬ ous work while on the campus. Having seen him play every year on the Bat¬ talion basketball squad, we know he is able to help pile up the score for his teammates. Even though he never had a chance to go out for the varsity, he teas a good player, and he played the game fair. Simpson, Howard B. Jacksonville, Texas Industrial Education Age 24; 1st Lt. (Aclj.) 3rd Battalion Staff; Cherokee Co. Club, Pres.; I. E. Society, Vice-Pres.; Fish Bas¬ ketball ’22; Basketball Squad ’23-’24; Bat¬ talion All Sports Man¬ agers, Pres. “Red” “Pinkie” East Texas is famous for its red soil. Well, Howard having sprung from this native soil, is proud of his heritage. He is the same ole Red.” But speaking of Pfeuffer Hall—-boy howdy!! Those were the days. Talk about Sheiks! Just look at the pictures of the fair sex on his desk. “Red” not only has a girl in every port, but he keeps the little girl back home so satisfied that she says “Go ahead dear, and have a good time.” Boy, hoiv does she do it? “Red” is a good athlete, having made the “fish” basketball squad, and the Battalion teams. Scrabanek, Ray E. West, Texas A rchitecture Age 22; Co. I, Inf.; Waco Club; B. S. Lb; Architectural Club. “R. E.” When Ray came to A. and M. he had two a i m s in mind—one to become a great civil engineer, the other to make a good “fish.” He soon realised his skill as an architect when he began taking “Larsonology,” and al¬ though he found strength of materials to be a pretty “strong” course, we expect to hear lots about him as a success¬ ful architect. As a man he is one who is always ready to stand up for what is right, even though the odds are against him. Much credit must be given “R. E.” for his active work in religious matters on the campus, having been president of the B. Y. P. U. and secretary of the B. S. U. It was through this work that he has made many friends. SCRABENEK, TOMMY J. Ennis, Texas Me chani cal Engineering Age 20; Co. I, Inf.; Ellis Co. Club, Sec. and Treas. “Calamity” “Tommy” Tommy “Calamity” Scrabanek, of Ennis, born into society 20 years ago, is one calam¬ ity after another. This young man is interested in the high merit of standing that our class has attained socially. When “Calamity” curses there is surely something going to hap¬ pen; when he smiles the whole class smiles. Tommy has always been interested in Me¬ chanical Engineering; therefore he has begun to study that profession. He has had his shoulder to the wheel with a determination in mind. Tommie is a dreamer of no mean dreams, and in his dreams, he is on good terms with the whole world. Nevertheless, Tommie is as good a man as they make out where real men are made. Page q6 Smith, Willie Ray Sanger, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 24; Captain, Air Service; A. S. M. E. “Smitty” “Rabbit” Smitty came to us from that proud section of the state, better known as North Texas, and Sanger in particular. On entering this institu¬ tion of learning his ambitions were shown when he joined the Air Service. He has made a good Captain and holds the esteem and respect of every man in his squadron. He has shown marked ability to make and keep a host of friends. Pessimism is a word unknown to him and he always has a ready smile, whether in time of distress or hap¬ piness. His talent as an en¬ gineer was shown early in his love for repairing alarm clocks, phono¬ graphs and Ford cars. His good looks, pleas¬ ing smile and strong personality never fails to attract the Pals of Venus; in other words, he has many friends among the ladies—a loorthy tribute to any man. Smotherman, Macy McKinney, Texas Veterinary Medicine Age 25; Casual; Ma¬ sonic Club; Veterinary Club; Collin County Club. “Smut” “Doc” Can you visualize a lad riding “Old Maude on his way to school? If so, then you visualize Macy when he attended one of the one-teacher schools of Collin County. Later Macy entered a ward school in Mc¬ Kinney and lettered in Thread-ball League, the contenders for the Tin Cup Trophy against the East Side Cotton Mill Sluggers. He also star¬ red against the Ft. Worth Club—once upon a time! Smut served Uncle Sam during 1917-18, over on the other side of the pond, when Old Heinie was heading to¬ ward Paris. From ac¬ counts he made a good soldier, especially after he mastered the art of wearing his shoes during diill hours. His cap¬ tain made him a two- striper for this great feat. Snead, Edwin B. Waco, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; 2nd Lieu¬ tenant, Troop B, Cav.; Squad Athletic Man¬ ager; R. V.’s; Waco Club; I. T. K.; S. F. U. “Ned” “Buz” To say he is a good fellow and a real man, you have paid him a tribute of which few men are worthy. He wins without bragging, and loses with a smile. He is witty, friendly, faithful and true, from the top of his head to the sole of his shoe — and that is a long distance. We predict for Ned unqualified success in his chosen profession. He has everything that a “transit toter should have, but what is more important he will be happy wherever he is and whatever his lot, and will make those around him happy. His chief passion seems to be fast horses and beautiful tv omen, (maybe C. E. also); consequently we will soon hear of him as the fifth horseman. Those who seek the great open spaces will find him a man riding among men. Stancliff, T. H. Houston, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 21; Supply Sgt.; A. S. M. E.; Houston Club; R. V. “Taum” “Taum is a man whose staunch character is recognized at a glance —and rightly so. Quiet and reserved in his manner, yet an ever presence of strength and thoughtfulness. Tom has met with difficulties, hav¬ ing been away for one year, but he has met them as only a true man No matter how well hidden is the formula of success, Tom will find it—and master it. Bubb Rudd once said: “We can ' t all be good lookin ' but Tommie didn ' t play square with us, and got more than his share. When “Taum comes prancing by, the fellow usually call their girls ' attention to something in the opposite direc¬ tion. Really there is no reason for him to have all the females running after him. Bon voyage, Tom. Stanford, Maurice D. Lorena, Texas Agronomy 1st Lt. Cavalry; Sec¬ retary Waco Club; Ag¬ ronomy Society; R. V. “Dick” Dick is a big, brave, brainy, bright, broivn- eyed, biscuit-loving boy, and on down through all the pleasant b’s in the dictionary, and they all fit him like his clothes, and he is not slouchy by any means. Few can boast of as sterling a character as Dick possesses. Not that he is boastfid, as he is anything but that. On the contrary he is a quiet sort of fellow, and seldom airs his views. His life, as his counte¬ nance, is an open book. We do not know just what Dick intends to do after he leaves school, but whatever it is, it will be done well. The ability to lead men and make countless friends, coupled with great ca¬ pacity to do work and to do good, should carry him well along up the ladder of success. Page 07 Stephenson, L. D. Dallas, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. D, Inf.; A. and M. Rifle Team ’22-’23- ’24-’25; National Rifle Team ’23; Chem. Club, Vice-Pres. ’23; Dallas Club; Sec. Rifle Club. “Swede” “Steve” “Steve is an English¬ man, but his blonde hair and grey eyes won him the name of “Swede,” much to his dislike. He has at¬ tended so many training camps and rifle matches, that life at A. and M. has meant just playing Sold in in Col. Todd ' s Army. His only rival in an extension research in explosive chemistry was“Ponty Bone. Like all Chem. Engineers, Steve didn ' t let chemis¬ try interfere with his college education. Me played pool, led the Y. M. C. A. a merry life, learned to ride, and read a great many books; above all else he loved to make, woidd be “aviators sick on the revolving ladder in the armory.

Waco Cotton Palace; Advertising Manager, Rodeo; King of Rodeo ’24-’25; Fish Stock Judging Team; Vice- Pres. Junior Class ’23- ’24; Varsity Football Squad ’23. “De Asis” Being selected to com¬ mand the Cadet Corps for the ’24-’25 session, Stubbs has already dem¬ onstrated that he is an able leader. Not only that, Frank is one of the outstanding men in his class. As a result of his a mi able character, Stubbs has become very popular. He has achieved one of the highest honors that an “Ag student can have bestowed upon him, that is to be selected for the stock judging team that represents tins college at the National Stock Show at Chicago. SweATMAN, LeNNIE E. Ennis, Texas Horticulture Swann, Malcolm T. Greenville, Texas Industrial Education Tate, J. Norman Marble Falls, Texas Ag. Administration Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; One Button- eers; A. A. Club; Bur- net-Llano Co. Club, Pres. ' 24. “Tater” “James” Quiet, unassuming, and reserved, yet cour¬ ageous and loyal in every respect — that is “Tater, the blond-head¬ ed Aggie whom we, his many friends, have come to have more than com¬ mon place regard for. His school history is simple for he has fol- lowed the class of ' 25 tin ough all the phases of life at A. and. M. from the fall of ' 21 , when they entered the gates of Aggieland as a cos¬ mopolitan group of freshmen, until now, as they finish their prepara¬ tion for life ' s long game. His joys in life are three — women, sleep, and eats. As to just hoio he divides his time between these pleasures there is some question. However, indications are that there are times when the last two are sadly neglected, for which, like Instant Pos- tum, “There is a Rea¬ son.” Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. F, Inf.; Florticultural Society; Ellis Co. Club, Sec.-Treas. ’23-’24, Vice-Pres. ’24-’25. “Sweatt” “Sweatt” came to A. and M. in the fall of ' 21 a slimy fish and cast his lot with “C company, where he earned the title of a — good “fish. During his Sophomore year he held the exalted rank of Corporal in “ F” Com¬ pany, wintering in Ho¬ tel Bizzell. In the fall of ' 23 he came back to Aggieland, rejoined the old gang and lived through the winter in Hollywood. At the “gripe course down at Fort Sam Houston Len- nie qualified as pistol marksman, and also won the distinction of being the champion gourd slinger of the Eight Corps A rea. Soon came September ' 24 and the return to Aggieland begun. Age 23; Co. H, Inf.; N. T. A. C. Club; Greenville Club; Ma¬ sonic Club. “Andy” During “Andy ' s short stay here of two years, we have all learn¬ ed to love him and admire his cool, quiet personality. He entered as a junior, and it is our regret that he ivas not with us as a “fish and sophomore. He has made friends who deem it a pleasure to say that they know him. He worries but little and cares nothing about the theories some of our professors expose us to. There are only two outstanding problems in the young man’s life —- women and “fish chem¬ istry. Should he pass chemistry in the next two years and solve the lady problem we feel that he will be a well balanced product. Andy has endeared himself to us all by his never failing good humor and a ready willingness to take part in all activi¬ ties, irrespective of their nature. Page qS Terry, Chester W. Dallas, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Bat. B; Dallas Club; C. E. Club. “Rip” Who is that good- looking young artillery officer going down the walk? So dignified and sophisticated. Yes, girls that ' s Terry. You can usually distinguish him by his light khaki uni¬ form with every crease in place. Terry liked Aggieland so well that he has spent five years here and some say that he is contem¬ plating staying three or four more. We really don’t know what A. and M. would do without him. A promising young engineer who can be classed with Einstein, Casey, and Buck. His aim is to grasp the world with a gigantic hand and mold it into many shapes to suit him self. All sve can say is that you had better look out for these quiet, unas¬ suming “birds, cause oft times they are lions in sheep’s clothes. Thacker, Richard B., Jr- Houston, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. F, Inf.; Houston Club; Chem. Club; Sec. Sen¬ ior Union B. S. U.; Baseball Squad ' 24. “Richard” This promising Chem. Engineer hails from Houston. His Fish year was spent in “A Com¬ pany, but in his Soph year we find him a high and mighty Corporal in “F Company. He almost became web-foot¬ ed in his Junior year from wading in the mud and water of Hollywood, where he learned how to keep a hot fire with wet ivood. Roll call, June 14th, at Ft. Sam Hous¬ ton, found him ready to partake of Uncle Sam’s “Gripe course, otherwise known as sum¬ mer camp, where he became skilled in the art of lying perfectly motion¬ less on a r ock hot enough to scorch a salamander, and incidentally an¬ nexed a medal as an expert rifle marksman. Quiet and unassum¬ ing, Thacker has won a host of friends who will cherish his memory as long as they live. Thomason, Gordon R. Waco, Texas Chemical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Battery B, Field Art.; Chem. Club; Waco Club; One Buttoneers; Track ’23. “Froggie” Back in the early days of ’22, Gordie cast his lot with ours. His ; iendly ways and pleas¬ ing personality have won for him an esteemed place in many hearts. He is no longer able to count his friends, for they are too numerous. With Gordie came a great desire for chemical knowledge. This desire has been fulfilled, in that he has now reached the stage where his understanding of Chem¬ istry is exceeded only by his good looks and social ability. Out of town girls can testify that he is quite adept at handling fe¬ males through the mails. If there is any fun to be found, Gordie goes after it like a Northwest Mounted after his man, arid the results are the same in both instances. Tickle, Harper F. Dallas, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 20; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; Dallas Club; Saddle and Sirloin Club; Okla. City Stock Judging Team ’24; Pfeuffer Hall Rats; Sheiks ' 23; Fish Bat. “Tick” Herb we picture a fair knight who hails from that Metropolis known as the City of the Hour. Tick mi¬ grated out to Texas from the wilds of West Virginia, where he re¬ ceived his first view of life. Tick ' s specialty is A. II. and visiting C. I. A. girls. Men, and stock judges must possess ‘ ‘rare lines, and be good judges. Tick is blessed with both these prerequisites. Not only that, but he is one of these fellows who is always mixed up in some sort of plot, or conspiracy. But look where he got his star —- over in Old Pfeufier Hall in the good ole days, and since then has followed II Com¬ pany through the Sheiks to Goodwin Hall. Tompkins, W. M. Corpus Christ i, Texas Ag. Administration Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. F, Inf.; A. A. Club; Corpus Christi Club; One Buttoneers. “Bill” Bill is a product of Corpus Christi, and is as true as they make them. In his four years here he has shown us that he is as good as the best. Never too busy to help others and a hard worker in every respect, Bill has made more f riends than a pig has squeals. To meet him is to like him and to associate with him is to form a friendship that will never die. Bill is a ladies ' man from away back yonder, too. He has a smile that none can resist and besides he has a natural way with the descendants from Adam ' s Rib. It is rumored that the apple of his eye lives in his home town, but we are inclined to believe that Bill has a fruit stand in every city by the number of apples ive see him with. Page oo Tkim, Walter F. Big Wells, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; 1st I A. Co. B, Inf.; South West Texas Club; I. E.; A. I. E. E.; Pfeuffer Pats. “Soccomore” u Soccomore — Socco¬ more. This name will often he heard in the vicinity of Goodwin Hall. Why Trim is so partial to the Sopho¬ mores ive have not been able to learn. Someone once said however, that he ' d be a sophomore, all his life. We congratu¬ late. the Sophomores on having such a great man to look after them and be their protector. Walter graduated rather early in his ca¬ reer from an E. E. to an I. E. We have all studied of the Industrial Revolution of years ago, but soon we shall ex¬ perience another when this great industrial edu¬ cator goes forth into the world. Many a proud Aggie’s son will attri¬ bute his huge success to this great man. Walter is one of these extremely likeable fel¬ lows. Turman, Walter W. Howland, Texas Industrial Education Turney, Charles M. Smithvilie, Texas A rchitecture Underwood, C. M. Denton, Texas Mechanical Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt.; A. S. M. E.; Denton Co. Club; Tennis. “Monk” Monk is quiet, and does not make a flaring show, but he is sincerely liked by all who really know him. He believes that the Deed is the measure of the man, does not ask for public approval of what he does, does not talk about what he intends doing, but lets his deeds speak for themselves. Uncalled for famil¬ iarity breeds contempt.” Monk practices and be¬ lieves this but after one becomes his friend, no favor is too great or too small for him to gladly do. We beg of you not to let the name mislead yon, because there really is a great deal of good timber under the wood. As sturdy and tense as the greatest redwood tree is our Monk. And that little Ford Coupe we have seen gliding about the campus. We stand here to say also that ive admire Monk’s eye for beauty. Valentine, C. H. Palestine, Texas Landscape Art Age 22; 1st Lt. Air Service; Palestine Club; Horticultural Society; Class Historian ’23. “Val” Val came to us from the fair city of Palestine, said to be by him the hub around which the universe revolves. Since his arrival he has been pursuing his studies and the fair sex with equal diligence, probably being a little more successful in the latter. His ready smile and friendly greeting for everyone has made for him many friends. His ambition inclines toward aviation, and we look for some altitude records to be broken if he stays in the game. Val has our sin- cerest sympathy, and our heart is with him, cause we know how hard it is to be broke all the time. But Val woidd be a rich man if he didn’t have to spend all his money on baseball bats to keep the fair sex from kidnapping him. ’Tis said that he was spirited azuay on many occasions in San Tone last summer. Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Lamar County Club ’22-’23-’24-’25; Co. D, Inf. ’22; Co. E, Inf. ’23-’24-’25. “Pop” “Father” After due thought and consideration Pop de¬ cided to become an Aggie. To realize his life’s ambition and to become an Industrial Educator, it was neces¬ sary for Pop to leave the farm. Fully de¬ cided that this was the best course to pursue, Pop broke away from the Blond-headed squaw and old Beck and board¬ ed the P. M. for College Station. Upon his arrival he was taken under the wing of Uncle Charl es Marten and the founda¬ tion for I. E. was laid down. Remember this was in the good old days and the sophs de¬ veloped this foundation into a well-built up course. Early in his soph, year Pop developed a bad case of the Bee ' s. Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. F, Inf.; Architectural Club; Bastrop County Club; D Company Football. “Cow” What will happen next? A cow” has come to college and, after having been a Pfeuffer Hall Rat has progressed to such an extent that he is now one of our beloved seniors of Mitchell Hall. Cozu is an expert with alarm clocks, often giving lectures and in¬ structions to those in¬ terested, but one time he gave out a bit of information that almost caused his downfall. Upon being asked by a senior who was borrow¬ ing his Big Ben if it would go off , he calmly replied that It has never gone off yet, has stayed right in the room.” Next day a request for three new chairs went in. Cow played wonder¬ ful football in his Fish year, and helped win the championship for his battalion, thereby winning a D szveater. Page ioo Vogt, Emil Schulenburg, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Troop D, Cav.; C. E. Society; Fayette Co. Club. “Emma” “Wolf” “Emma,” the son of the squire, is small in stature, but a giant in brains. Not many stu¬ dents can boast of hav¬ ing Doc Bizzell present himself to them as a minor character. The “Wolf ' s” ability to hold his own, with his ever¬ lasting eagerness to help a friend, will be re¬ membered long after he is gone, and as he leaves, he takes with him the friendship of all who know him. “Now in my army,” says Emil, and then comes those scorching denunciations of all pa¬ rades, close order drill, and all other formations where nothing practical is acquired. This sums up his philosophy of life. Emil doesn ' t mind any amount of work, but he certainly hates to waste energy. When the rest will be standing in the bread line, Emil will be the Napoleon of our age. Waller, John A. Crockett, Texas Civil Engineer ing Age 21; 1st Lt. Co. C, Inf.; C. E. Society; Crockett Club, Pres. ’23-’24. “Jawn” “dawn” hopped in as a frog in February, 1921, and since that time has been a diligent disciple of “Cue-Balls.” As many other sons of Crockett, he fondly boasts of hailing from the center of the universe. A worthy of the Old School, courageously Southern, quiet and un¬ assuming, a follower of the dictates of his own judgment, true to him¬ self, true to his friends — such is John. John is a staunch supporter of the H. E. course, but at the same time his desire for a great future as a C. E. keeps him up till the wee small hours with a slip stick in each hand. lie has a well worn path from Bizzell Hall to the C. E. Build¬ ing. Just how he has managed it no one knows, but he has spent three years of his four in this beloved Mansion. Walker, James B. New Baden, Texas Ag. Education Age 24; Casual. “Charco” “Jimmie” “Charco” started his college career in the University of Texas in the .S’. A. T. C. during the winter term of iqi8- 1919 . It was at a time when the life of a fish was not so peaceful and to stick and make good was his first great ob¬ stacle to overcome in college life. He was transferred to A. and M. during the second term of 1920 and spent two years of military life with Company “C” Infantry. He went with the sons of rest in 1921-22. The follow¬ ing year did not find him back in school, as he entered the teaching profession and spent the next two years as a “Pedagogue.” When the fall of 1924 came around the desire to come back and finish with the class of ' 25 was too great to resist. He is majoring in the field of Agricul¬ tural Economics and is especially interested in the field of marketing. Ward, Alvis A. Winnsboro, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; Capt. Co. A, Sig.

' s history who made three letters on an athletic team and at the same time made the grade in Electrical Engineering. Not only has he developed into a scholar and athlete, but also one of the leading “sheiks” of Ag- gieland. The hearts of many fair damsels yearn for his companionship. We maintain that they are justified because his gentlemanly conduct makes us all love him. Just Ward, today, to¬ morrow, and always. With all his crowning success, he still wears the same size hat. Ware, Charles S. Temple, Texas Industrial Education Age 22; 1st Lt. 2nd Battalion Staff; Y. M. C. A. Cabinet; Bell Co. Club. “Satch” “ Satch” came to us from “cool” Temple in the good year of 1921. Asa “fish, Charlie was exposed to Client. En¬ gineering, but he zvas issued some impure chemical and took a serious case of Indus¬ trial Education. Whether it ' s Navasota, Baylor Belton, or I. E. that keeps Charlie busy,. we can¬ not say, but he is a busy man. Charlie is a good sport, a true gentleman, and a real A. and M. man. “Pa and Charlie have made a huge success of our Y. M. C. A. Whenever the fair sex visit with us, you can always find Charlie in the “Y lobby. Nature couldn’t make many like Charlie, for every fair heart is not to be satisfied. He is exceed¬ ed by few in beauty, form and symmetry. Page 101 Washburn, Paul J.

It was not long though until he was known the entile length of the Cam-bus as the “Tubby little Yankee.” He has proven him¬ self to be a good example of what the South can do for a man, for he is easily one of the best known and best liked figures on the campus. He combines the qual¬ ities of a rare and pleasing personality with great leadership ability. Watson, J. William Bryan, Texas Ag. A dministration Age 23; R. V.; Mar¬ ried; A. A. Society. “Bill” Bill entered A. and M. with the idea of making a great name for himself qnd fitting himself for a great career. Hence he en¬ tered upon tu o careers, one the stormy sea of matrimony, the other with his companions from Wisconsin. He has experienced light skirmishes as well as heavy battles, but he has succeeded in coming through unscratched. Bill ' s unfailing good nature and re ckless, devil- m ay-ca re manner have won him a place in the hearts of his classmates from which he will never be dis¬ lodged. Somewhat of a morose nature, but strictly unselfish, and always willing to lend a helping hand. A true f riend, a good pal; Here ' s to you, Bill. Waugh, Charles A.

Here is a man loved by all who know him, and his love for a joke or a prank is always a delightful source of entertainment. “Bobbie” hails from the city of cool San Antonio, and altho he does not claim to be a social hound, indica¬ tions are that he is a past master at the art of heart smashing. Bobbie is an athlete who is a credit, not only to his own college, but to the entir e South. Owing to injuries re¬ ceived in his sophomore year, he did not really come into his own as a great football tackle until his junior year. And in track he is a tower of strength and ability. Wears, Wesley D. Dalhart, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; Casual ; Band; B. S. U. Cabi¬ net; Panhandle Club; De Molay Club. “Dale” Wea kes matriculated as a C. E., but as this group comprises men more often engineers than civil, he decided to change to Industrial Education, the haven of culture, the rendezvous of gentlemen. Weak ' s iaea of a good time -is to work out problems of Euclid from the original Greek. In fact, as he rules the “drum” his mind is taken up with the prob¬ lem of most efficiently appropriating his mu¬ nificent salary as cadet bandsman. Dale will get along in the world, and twenty years from now he will contribute to A. and M. a son who will be All- A merican quai terback and the leading social light of the college. Webber, Dan J. Houston, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 1 st Lt. Troop D, Cav.; A. A. Club; Houston Club. “Red” “Dapper” is a hard worker and a hustler. As a Fish, he was one of the rarest. He is a big man physically and a bigger man morally. He is sure to get a Ph. D. in “H. E.” and “Briage” next June, which was his intention when he entered A. and M. Although he is a man of few words, he means what he says. He has a disposition that can be nothing but a real asset in the battles of Life. He is a real type of gentleman. He takes life easily and meets all with a smile. Page 102 mm . Weddell, William C. San Angelo, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co.

This year “Gon is Captain of the Varsity Track team, and we expect to see him lead his team mates to a Conference champi on- ship. He is a man of rare oratorical ability, has high ideals, a splendid sense of hi.mor. When he leaves he will be missed, but he will be heard from in future years as an active mem¬ ber of the Ex-students Association. Wehrman, C. R. Brenham, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 1st Lt. Co.

Society; Wash i n gt o n-An st i n Club. “Country” When you have a friend who can borroiv your last pair of socks, can forget to write when he owes you a letter and can steal a date ivith your best girl, without arousing your anger, then you have a friend with a person¬ ality. “Country pos¬ sesses all of those in¬ tangible, elusive things we call “Personality, and with it redeems himself so well that we feel honored to say “Sure, and here ' s a match, too. His quick mind fur¬ nishes a ready store for a witty tongue, and enables him to give an accurate answer to a question while most of us are still wondering what it is all about. When this “God’s gift to women leaves a gather¬ ing, it would seem that someone has taken the spike out of the punch boivl and left a handfull of tacks. Welch, Lewis M. Port Neches, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 19; 1st Lt. Co. A, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E.; Tech. Sgt. Sig. Corps ’23-’24; Wrest¬ ling Team ’22-’23; Beaumont Club. “Grappler” “Grapejuice” “Grappler, formerly knoivn as “Pee Wee, came to Aggieland from the land of Voth. When he went home at the end of the Fish year he had more than his uniform to sport-—he had his first pair of long trousers. He has since, however, acquired the sang-froid, of an accomplished man of the World. Some measure of his size may be gained by the fact that he weighed only 89 pounds when he entered A. and M. He, however, like a bag of Wildcats, was full of that old fight that has made A. and M. famous, and which will carry him to the top rank, along with Steinmetz and other em¬ inent Electrical Engi¬ neers. Wendler, W. H. Boerne, Texas Civil Engineering Age 23; Capt. Bat¬ tery B, Art.; Moun¬ taineers Club, Presi- dent; Masonic Club, Vice-Pres.; A. S. C. E. Circulation Manager Battalion ’24-’25. “Broadus” “Dutch” “Broadus,” as he is affectionately called by his friends, is a man of sincere purpose and sterling character. He is loved by his friends, admired by his ac¬ quaintances and respect¬ ed by his enemies. His progress in Col¬ lege is due entirely to his dogged determina¬ tion to do his work thoroughly. When called on he is always willing to assist those about him in any undertaking of merit. Once a friend always a friend, pos¬ sessing that rare ability to maintain discipline, and at the same time command the respect and admiration of every man in his organiza¬ tion. Werner, Richard J. San Antonio, Texas A rchi lecture Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; San Antonio Club; Architectural Club, Sec. ' 24; Dis¬ tinguished Student; Best Drilled Co. C, Inf. ’23; Cross-Country ’22; Chairman Dance Decoration Committee. “Dick” “Pee Wee” “Dick, one time known for the little phrase “Fires of Am¬ bition, but after all Richard J., we would hate to think there wasn’t some one in the company with ambition enough to look after the welfare of the men and ambi¬ tious enough to make drill once in a while. Dick, friend of the Mexican people, pos¬ sesses a firm will and eloquent speech. He may be able to entice the Mexican people of San Antonio to support Mayor John Tobin in the next election. Dick is inclined to be religi¬ ous, with a natural gift for business. Wonder how the “Sword Busi¬ ness is improving. k l Page 103 Westmoreland, C. S. Waco, Texas Ag. Administration Age 25; 1st Lt. Co. A, Inf.; Band; Waco Club; Methodist Or¬ chestra; Guion Hall Orchestra; S. A. T. C. 1918; Masonic Club. “C. S.” If you could have visited the fair, famous and friendly city of Waco a decade and a half ago, you zvould have seen the perambulator that bore our hero in his triumphant passage along Quality Row. A passage, ever and anon halted by fair damsels who insisted upon kiss¬ ing his rubicund lips and stroking his silken hair. So great was his attraction that Waco people in those days forgot to think even of the Amicable building, lie was the cynosure of all eyes. Willett, Eldon R. Dallas, Texas Textile Engineering Age22 ;Casual; Band; Dallas Club; Aggieland Orchestra. “Jack” In that memorial year of 1902, there came into this world a mortal who was destined to become the World ' s greatest sax¬ ophone player. This youngster, after reaching the ripe age of 16 years, entered T. C. U. where for two years he helped add grey hairs to the heads of the T. C. U. faculty. After having assimi¬ lated his part of the knowledge in T. C. U., Fate turned a queer trick and he found him¬ self in Aggieland. For four years he has been with us. His ability to make friends and the fact that he plays the saxophone and clarinet in the Aggieland orches¬ tra and A. and M. Band makes him well known on the Campus. Dallas may well be proud of this noble youth, and we suggest that they name a sky¬ scraper after him. Williams, C. A. Stamford, Texas A riimal Husbandry Age 23; 2nd Lt. Co. H, Inf.; Officers Club; Saddle and Sirloin; West Texas Club; Ma¬ sonic Club. “Horns” Cart is a typical Westerner, having a keen eye, clear judgment and a sterling character. He has high ideals and stands strong for what he thinks is right, and hits the line hard, re¬ gardless of the size of the task assigned him. Far be it from Cart to be a ladies man, but the girls all sit up and take notice when Cart steps in, and invariably ask who that handsome man with cur ly hair is. As a classmate, there is none better; as a friend there is none truer; as a man, there is none more honest. These qualities a; e going to bring to Cart many more friends, much hap¬ piness and success. All of us wish you well, Cart. We know that our best wishes will carry you a long ivays in the world, but really, you don ' t need them. You can ' t keep a good man down. Williams, G. D. Ft. Worth, Texas Civil Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Bat. A, Field Art.; Ft. Worth Club. “Dirty Dave” Dirty Dave is just another damn good Swede. In looking back over his record for these long four years, we see not a single brilliant victory, not a miracu¬ lous or sensational suc¬ cess has come to him. Dirty has used his life for things far better than personal advancement; he has made college life enjoyable for those of us %oho thought we were in prison. He is the kind of man that will make you smile when you are sentenced to hades, or make you cry when you are issued your harp and assigned a one-man cloud. Dave, we know you have read the Plastic Age, and that you are wondering if your stay in Aggieland has been of any real value, but sit dozvn, Dirty, stop pacing the floor, you have reached those heights that thousands find impossible — you have won the love and confidence of your class¬ mates and associates. Williams, Loyd T. Elizabeth, La. Electrical Engineering Age 23; 1st Lt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; Louisi¬ ana Club, Sec.; A. I. E. E. “Bobby” You can ' t hold it against a man just be¬ cause he is from Louisi¬ ana, as lots of other good men have come from there and gotten away with it. Bobby says there are no blue laws there. When this man leaves school in June, A. and M. will lose a great student and a landmark. What Bobby doesn ' t know about E. E. isn ' t in books. Edison, More- croft and. a few others are still trying to find something to worry him a while. He is also absolutely the best authority on literature, radio and coffee, especially coffee, as he took post graduate woi k in the art of mak¬ ing coffee, and only a few nights have passed in which he did not practice making some. Page 104 (2 Wilson, Cecil C. Itasca, Texas A gri culture Age 22; 1st Lt. Co. I, Inf.; Agronomy So¬ ciety; Country Life Club, Pres. ’24. “Cousin Charlie” Cecil has few ac¬ quaintances—they soon become friends. A man straightforward in speech and action, who believes a fight for the tight to be the greatest of sports. His hand ivas made to extend friendship and help to any ready and worthy to receive. His energy —a bountiful supply; his abilities—many tal¬ ents well utilized. A humorist in him¬ self, seldom seen with¬ out his characteristic smile or hearty laugh; a practical joker; a charming conversation¬ alist; a perfect creation for the betterment of mankind—an optimist. It is a pretty well established fact that in a very short time, Whip- urect, Chattim and Wil¬ son will have the con¬ trolling interest at A. and M. Wilson, Ray W. McKinney, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 21; 1 st Lt. Troop D, Cav.; Junior D. H. Team; Waterloo Dairy Congress Team; Kream and Kow Klub; Collin Co. Club; Christian Group, Pres. “Woody” Woody ' s ready smile and willing disposition have won for him a host of friends. Mr ' frue- friend who is never too busy to help the one in need. Possessing the happy combination of those solid qualities which add real value to his friendship. He is a man—a true son of A. and M. If b This cow merchant is known from the Rio Gi ande to Milwaukee for his ability to judge calves and other ani¬ mals of the mammal variety. He has of trained eye and a clear ■vision, which accounts for his capability in never missing the five points. We know that if the world treats him right, he will always be at the top. Wilson, Robert W. McKinney, Texas Ag. Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. E, Inf.j Ag. Engineer¬ ing Society, Vice-Pres.; Collin Co. Club, Vice- Pres.; One Buttoneers; Battalion Basketball ’22-’23. J£)rog” “Bob” Bob came to A , and M. as a ‘‘frog’’ in February, 1922, and the. fact that he will graduate with the class of ' 25 .shows that he has con- quered the Ag. En¬ gineering course in rec-.j ord tim e. — He has a smile for everyone, and his opti¬ mistic attitude influ¬ ences everyone about him. Full of energy and enthusiasm, he in¬ jects “pep into every¬ one associated with his sense of fair mindedness, and justice is evident at all times. ' V Apj We arc all for you, Bob. Your influence has been one of the best, and the optimistic spirit you have spread among us will long be. remembered. It is the association with men like you that makes us regret that our school days are over. Winchester, C. L. Texarkana, Arkansas Vet. Medicine Age 25; 1st Lt. Co. E, Inf.; Arkansas Club, Pres. ' 25; Vet. Club; Texarkana Club; Cross Country Team. “Wind ” In the fall of 1920, Windy was fi nally roped and persuaded to board the train for College Station. After arriving here, he found it neces¬ sary to put rocks in his shoes in order that he might feel more natural. It was in Co. D that Windy started on his military career. His first year was spent as an Ag. shident, but not being entirely satis¬ fied with this course, he changed to veterinary mgdicine the following year. This change brought new life to Windy. He has since been an active member of the Vet. Club, both in our memorial meat fights and in our club work. Clarence is a man of sterling qualities; his big hearted, witty, hu¬ morous ways have won for him many friends. Woiton, John B. Bryan, Texas Civil Engineering Age 22; 2nd Lt. Co. C, Inf.; C. E. Society; Brazos Co. Club, Vice- Pres. “Buster” Buster hails from the fair city of Bryan. His pleasing person¬ ality and individuality have won for him a place of high esteem among the student body. His undying efforts and ability to accomplish his aims prove his de¬ ter mi nation of success. However, we do not wish to have it appear that all his time is spent at labor. The fact that Buster ' s home is in Bryan does not wholly account for the many visits he pays to the fair city. This is proof enough that Buster ' s ability to accomplish his aims is not limited to one field. Looking into the fu¬ ture of Buster, we can see a world of joy and fun. What more could an Aggie ask for? Of course he will make a great C. E. teacher for years to come. Page 105 Wolfe, (r. I). Tyler, Texas Age 24; Bat. C, Artillery; Fish Fool- ball ’21; Varsity Foot¬ ball ’22. “Criminal” The rugged counte¬ nance pictured here would offer points to the criminologist or the cartoonist. If one could read the weak lines and the furlough wt inkles, some livid stories would be revealed to a startled world. Wolfe never takes life too seriously. Like scholars down through the ages he has slight rises of temper . ment, but in the light of his manly accomplishments we ever credit this to the right side of the ledger. We who have enjoyed four years of close as¬ sociation with him will keep in mind the mem¬ ory of his alert bril¬ liance, which will safely carry him to success in any line of endeavor. Wood, Charles R. Money Grove, Texas Industrial Education Age 21; 1st Ft. Co. B, Sig. Corps; Fannin Co. Club, Pres.; Band. “Soupy” Here ' s the man that puts us to bed and wakes us up. Soupy probably gets cussed more about six o ' clock in the morning, and praised more about meal time, than any other man on the campus. The fact that he is a chaser of the electro is not to be held against him. Soupy has played a cornet in the band ever since his arrival in Aggieland, and for the past tivo years has been a sold cornetist. When Soupy leaves, the Postman will have an easy time, for he gels more sweet-scented epistles than any other “bull tosser ' ' in Aggie- land. We wonder how he does it. But even such an abundance of co) respondence is not sufficient to keep Soupy busy, and to improve his mind he peruses “Snappy Stories ' ' and other literature not found in ordinary libraries. Wood, G. M. Athens, Texas Ag. Administration Age 21; 2nd Ft. Co. B, InF; Northeast Tex¬ as Club; One But- toneers. “Crazy Boy” Gaston, although a native of the sunny, sublime little East Tex¬ as city of Athens, has had to continually deny the claim that Navasota has on him. This fact, coupled with his weekly sojourns South, would give anyone the im¬ pression, with all due respect to Athens, that Gaston lives in Nava¬ sota. It was at Fort Sam Houston, and, incident¬ ally, Camp Bull is, dur¬ ing those never to befor- gotton days of summer camp that he was given the name of “Crazy Boy. ' ' It was under those trying days of suffocating heat, dust and hard work, followed by nights of sleepless¬ ness, that his sense of humor proved a boon to his comrades. Wright, Asa U. Jefferson, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; 1 st Ft. Troop C, Cav.; Northeast Texas Club; F T. K.; S. F. U.; Fish Toast¬ master ’22: 14. V. “Felix, the Cat” Asa is a true son of Old East Texas, and has brought to A. and M. an abundance of river-bottom wit t h a t he gathered during many happy days spent with Mark Twain’s little boy. His ready wit and sunny smile have icon for him a place in the hearts of all who know him Asa has the determi¬ nation that is bound to bring him out on top, and the American So¬ ciety of Civil Engineers is due to receive one more Aggie that will be a credit to A. and M. Wright, J. F. Whitewright, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 26; Major, 3rd Bat. Inf.; Saddle and Sirloin; War Veteran; Company Football ' 16- ’17. “Daddy” Wright, or Daddy, is one of the members of class of ' 25 that can say he was a Fish when freshmen were Fish, and not first year cadets. He was here in ' 16- ' 17, and then went into the Army and crossed over the little pond for a stay. Daddy is a true man, and a man of high- standards and ideals. He has really been a Daddy to everyone in his organization, always smiling and willing to help anyone in need. Carry on, Daddy, the whole world is with you! Page 106 WURZBACH, WM. A. San Antonio, Texas Dairy Husbandry Age 21: 2nd Lt. Troop A, Cav.; San Antonio Club, V-Pres.; Kream and Kow Klub; National Dairy Judg¬ ing Team; R. V.; Bat. Cross-Country ’22-’23. “Willie” From the historic Ala¬ mo City came “Willie to make history at this institution. In College life he has made many friends, true-blue and dependable, a real type of gentleman with a pleasing personality that has won for him the re¬ spect of all. What he cannot think to do can¬ not be mentioned, for life is full of pep as far as he is concerned. A round the ladies he is a hit. Once started he is hard to stop. Willie ' s career at A. and M. has been successful. He has been a faithful student, de¬ termined to win, and that alone has achieved many honors for him. I might say, Here is a man, a finished product, ready to be presented to the world. Young, Lester J. Fort Worth, Texas Animal Husbandry Age 21; Casual; Sad¬ dle and Sirloin Club; Fort Worth Club; Dis¬ tinguished Student. “Oaks Jones” Oaks Jones, the noted horse thief, that ' s me, quotes Lester. We ask you not to get him con¬ fused zvith other people of that name. Oaks has reformed consider¬ ably in the last few years, and hasn ' t stolen many horses. About all zve knozu of this modern Jesse Janies is his cruelty in stealing hearts. Of course we know that everything that is done is for a purpose. Summing up, zve have Oaks taking A. H, specializing in Genetics and Eugenics, and a noted horse thief. His hobby is specializing in various breeds of corn. But the world has can¬ celed all its grievances against Oaks, for he has done a great deal of constructive work, and as a result we have a new line of breeding, a horse zvith the black bars running horizontal instead of longitudinal. Youngs, Walter C.Jr. Dayton, Texas Civil Engineering Age 20; 1st Lt. First Bat. Staff; C. E. So¬ ciety; East Texas Club; Distinguished Student; Regt. Sgt. Major ' 24. “Colonel” Colonel is an hon¬ est and f ai r-m in ded man, possessing a quick mind and an easy flow¬ ing mode of speech. W. C., you ought to acquire honor -nd wealth due to your stickability. You are quite young to finish college, but we are hoping that you will find your life ' s zvork not easy, but pleasant, and with large compensa¬ tions. Men like you are not easy to find, which is a good indica¬ tion that your services will be in demand some¬ where in the field of Civil Engineering. As we have observed it, you have been very unsuccessful in your love affairs. Perhaps this is due to the fact that you have been too busily engaged in your struggle for that one thing that is the object of college l ife — ‘ ‘ T he Old Sheepskin. Zappe, Oscar O. Ballinger, Texas Electrical Engineering Age 21; 2nd Lt. Co. B, Sig. Corps; A. I. E. E.; One Buttoneers; San Angelo Club; New¬ man Club, Pres. “Zape” “Leap” Old Zape, the boy from Ballinger, entered Ai. and M. as a Fish in the Fall of 1021, choos¬ ing E. E. as his pro¬ fession and joining the Signal Corps. Through his sophomore year he struggled rather hard with his major course, and as usual came out successfully. In his junior year Oscar zvas staff sergeant, and with the aid of his guitar, which is not very melodi¬ ous, he reached the pin¬ na cle of fame. Now, in his last year, zve find that he is the only original member of Co. B, Signal Corps, who started four years ago in E. E. Oscar is as full of Bull as anyone, es¬ pecially the Fish will admit this. And as for playing pool — zvett, he is the best. Zimmerman, Percy E. Coleman, Texas A r chi lecture Age 22; Band; Archi¬ tectural Club. “Poage” All hail the Goliath of Coleman! Let it not be said by anyone, how¬ ever, that this minute specimen has a diminu¬ tive heart or brain. Percy pulled into this noble institution of learning in the Fall of ' 21, imbued zvith athirst for knozvledge and a desire to become Presi¬ dent of the United. States. Percy is a prince of a fellow, and at times insists that he is the one and only Prince of Wales. The heir to the British crown is none other than our Percy. You ' ve heard many times of how precious and very valuable things come wrapped in small packages? Well, I agree, and can just back up my convictions. Many times have I passed along the streets zvith Percy and heard the females utter: IIozv cute, and How preci¬ ous. Hearing this so much, how could I be other than convinced? PageJo? Page joS Senior Class History ‘ ' [C v VENTS,” quoth the prophet, “are the spring from which flow the waters of life.” And JLV “History,” saith Webster, “is the narration of events.” Hence in this brief chronicle of our four years of college life only a few chief events, the high lights, can be recorded, which have left their impressions upon our minds of the beloved institution, and which, certainly, have left them filled with memories that can not be forgotten in the four years’ struggle for those most prized of all possessions, a college education and a college diploma. Perhaps it will be at some fireside corner; maybe in the halls of Congress, or the rooms of some congenial club. Possibly in London, Hong Kong, Venice or Leavenworth. But irre¬ spective of locality or time and regardless of conditions, the time will come when we will harken back to the years when we were cadets and, hearkening ourselves, we will want to tell others. And so with a smile, no doubt, a pipe, of course, and a tinkling glass, perhaps, you and I will settle down and talk things over about the old days. “Fill my glass again, will you, Tom?” “Thanks.” “Well, we’ll talk of A. and M. if that’s what you want.” “Right from the beginning.” “You remember that first morning on the campus, about September twentieth, nineteen- twenty-one, when we stepped from the S. P. and heard a frog horn voice shout, “Here ‘Fish” take this bag.” Even now you can sense the feeling of doubt, commingled with uncertainty, as we first entered the corridors of the grim buildings. Soon, however, this feeling left us as we received the antedote of work and endeavor. And when we look back on those days as “Fish” we remember only those which offered us the most pleasure. That day we met in Dallas to defeat the Praying Colonels. You remember it?” “Then the high and mighty days of a Sophomore. When everything went as we thought and said with the “Fish.” When we journeyed to Austin, on Turkey Day, to defeat the Long¬ horns on their own field. The Junior Banquet, how the suspense was unbearable under the determination to get the “Toast Master.” Many were the brilliant “Hawkshaws” with only one Honeycutt. Although we were “Sack Holders” the Juniors were kept busy on the watch keeping up with the movements of our forces under the leadership of our class president, Steve Noble.” “Next, Junior year, when we realized just what is really thought of a Sophomore. The tightening of heartstrings as we realized that in only a few more months we would leave each other for good. The year passed quietly as the activities toward Junior Banquet were dismissed without a banquet. A tradition hard to give up. “The camp in San Antonio during the summer between our Junior and Senior years.” “But let’s pass over that.” “The last year that we were together, Seniors.” What happened that year only calls to mind that indefinable sensation felt upon mentioning of the word, how full of promise! Shortly after school opened we received our rings which made us feel all right, in as much as they were indication of the fact that we were on the road to graduation. “And then that class departed. We realized that it was the end of our college days. “Tom, wake up and fill my glass again.” Page ioq Graduate Students Advaxi, K. H.......... Alexander, F.. R...... Bairfiei.d, ( ' . F.......

Temple Page 12i History of the Junior Class OARLY in September, 1922, many high school graduates started out on their first real search for a higher education. Some 850 of this collection landed at College Station. The first few nights we spent on the campus of A. and M. were very discouraging ones for many of us, but as the days passed on we became more accustomed to the ways of a “Fish.” We learned that there was nothing to eat but “Sbisa’s Hash,” and many other things that a “Fish” should know. The days passed on and finally the day came, the day that we had heard so much about, Thanksgiving day. We journeyed to “cool” Austin and saw those Texas Longhorn Steers go down in that 14-7 defeat on their own Clark Field. This brought much joy to the heart of every “Fish” because we had not witnessed such before. In about a month we went home for the holidays and also to “spread” our college education. Some few did not return, but the ma¬ jority came back to complete the year. Soon after our return class officers were elected and S. M. Kyle was chosen to lead us the remainder of the year. Before we realized it our vacation was over and we could hear “Aggieland” calling us back. About 550 came back to A. and M. to continue what they had started just one year previous. Our lumbers were somewhat reduced but this was overcome by our importance because we were Sophomores, and the im¬ portance that any Sophomore holds is practically unlimited. Time came to elect our officers and the election was a hotly contested affair. At the close of the election W. F. Munnerlyn was president; J. G. Ross, vice-president; J. L. Wilson, secretary-treasurer, and J. T. Gilbert, historian. These men conducted our affairs in a very creditable manner and led us to the end of a successful year. About the first of April we, as well as the Juniors at that time, were very disappointed in that they were not permitted to have their banquet. Little can be said, but we felt sure that their toastmaster would have been our “meat.” Again we returned to school, but this time as Juniors. Our number was re¬ duced to about 320, but at that it is the largest Junior class in the history of A. and M. Our Junior Class has contributed its share at least to the cause of athletics at A. and M. Eighteen men have won their “T” and several others will win it before this year ends. Those winning their “T” are: Fay Wilson, captain-elect of 1925 football team; Norman Dansby, Bob Berry, L. G. Deiterich, “Bones” Irwin, Clem Pinson, J. W. Brazelton, T. Kishi, “Red” Wilson, W. J. Octerbeck, W. H. Beutel, J. D. McGuire, Mat Wilcox, S. M. Kyle, R. H. Crawford, W. B. Montgomery, Jack Williams and J. G. Gillispe. Looking back, the Junior Class has seen the passing of the Junior banquet, the practical elimination of our most cherished tradition, the beating of Texas University on their own grounds, Clark Field, and the largest classes of “Fish,” Sophomores and Juniors in the history of A. and M. College. Looking in the other direction, we see the prospects for the largest Senior class ever at the A. and M. College of Texas, a probable increase in the college plant as a whole, and a very bright future for all of us. Page 122 Sopliomores SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS D. C. Arnold, President O. P. Puryear, Vice-President J. P. Hall, Secretary and Treasurer R. L. Edgar, Historian History of the Sophomore Class A T THE close of the summer holidays of 1923 there were approximately 800 boys who left iA their homes to become freshmen at A. and M. College. In many cases the family ties were being broken for the first time. No one but a “Fish” can explain that peculiar vacant feeling as he walks down the road from the station to the main building. This feeling was not exactly a “vacant” one as soon as we became acquainted with the second-year students. All of us have hopes of becoming great men while here and still greater after we leave here. After we became better acquainted with college life and the surroundings in general, we were called together to elect class officers. We elected A. J. Farmer as our leader. 1 hings seemed to happen fast after that, and before we knew it we were on our way to Waco for the football game, and incidentally we paraded through the streets of that city. It was not many days after that until we were back home for the Christmas Holidays. It is useless to say that every one of us had a large and robust time while at home. We were just told the before-and-after effects of Junior Banquet, and that is all. The next thing of note that the Class of ’27 enjoyed was the “Fish” banquet which is dear to the memories of all Aggies. As spring advanced there was a feeling which permeated the air and brought to us the truth “we were going home for the summer holidays.” June the 3rd was never more welcomed by all than the June 3rd of 1924. As September rolled around again this same bunch of fellows came back to A. and M. Col¬ lege. There was a difference this time, and this difference was that we were the high and mighty Sophs that we had longed to be. The Sophomore Class has not many men who made letters this year, but there are years to come. The men lettering in football are “Mit” Dansby and “Red” Wilson. The men elected as officers of the class for this year are: D. C. Arnold, President; O. P. Pur¬ year, Vice-President; J. P. Hall, Secretary, and R. L. Edgar, Historian. Page 124 ass Abney, Z.

Woodland, Secretary and Treasurer W. H. Carpenter, Vice-President A. H. Peoples, Historian N September 17, 1924, the creaking old gates of the A. and M. College of Texas were opened; the school year 1924-’25 had begun, and the wheels in the history of the class of ’28 started turning. The inaugural event of this class was registration; the figures given out in the Registrar’s office showed that 850 new students had been enrolled at “Aggieland.” From the very beginning this young army of green horns proved to be natural “Fish,” for they asked many foolish questions and made countless mistakes. On “College Nite” the “Fish” were at a loss to learn the famous Aggie yells, and it was only after much practicing with the aid of yell books that they were able to “bear down” on the yell¬ ing with the upper classmen. After many of the yell practices were over the “Fish” would dem¬ onstrate their ability at yelling by falling in line behind the “Fish” band and parading over the campus, yelling as only Aggies can yell, thus proving their love for the College and their sincere belief in the football team. The “Fish” had a very successful season in football, playing through the entire season unde¬ feated, and playing the powerful Reserves to a scoreless tie. Freshman numerals were awarded to the following men in football: C. D. Speed, P. C. Callaway, H. S. Woodland, W. H. Carpenter, I. G. Burney, G. L. Brock, A. C. Sprott, J. V. Sikes, W. D. Willis, O. J. Hunt, A. T. Hill, R. H. Gay, R. E. Turner, C. B. Maufrias, J. A. Rektorik, J. Mathews, W. S. Lister. Prospects in basketball, track and baseball look very good, and the many “Fish” trying out for the different sports are training and working hard. Judging from prospective material, this will be one of the best seasons that “Fish” athletics have known at A. and M. The Freshman officers elected were “Fish” C. B. Maufrias of Austin, President; “Fish” W. H. Carpenter of Sudan, Vice-President; “Fish” H. S. Woodland of Cordele, Serretary-Treas- urer; “Fish” A. H. Peoples of Dallas, Historian.

Page 172 nr WH ' BpJTlI ' M iffnrmrmprmnTinr or v Cvi Infantry At S lim mer Camp vN Saturday, June 14, 1924, the “rodets’ ' came into the various depots to be herded together and deposited at camp. Uncle Sam had provided a few of his well upholstered army trucks; so that marching did not commence at the depot. Besides, there were many suitcases, some of them heavily laden, with clothes, of course! Still it was strange how some of them carried their suitcases on their lap clear out to camp; probably to preserve the varnish on the truck floors. At Fort Sam, breakfast was waiting for these “generals of tomorrow” in the form of coffee and sinkers. The whole medical corps then looked us over a-la-naturel as we filed by in review. We were asked such questions as “Ever had smallpox, leprosy, foot and mouth disease, bubonic plague, barber’s itch,” and others of equal seriousness. Of course everybody told them “no” just to get started off right. A few had palpitation of the heart, caused from staying up late on trains and so on; but only two were disqualified completely. From this cross-fire of questions, the line shoved on past the clothier, who threw a sock or shoe or something at each individual. At the end of this line, the clothes were put on, and “fit or no fit,” they were yours for the rest of the camp term. The barracks were nice and warm, as the windows were too high for the breezes to come in. Anyway, everybody got located, and then went to town for the rest of the day. But Monday, at just 7:00 A. M., after that Uncle Sam’s breakfast you have seen advertised, the work started, and not just perhaps. The army officers “poured it on” our sore backs, feet, etc., for about six hours each day. And it is strange how such a phenomenal growth of sunflowers occurs east of camp. It seemed that the Reds and Blues were at war “again” and that we had to ferret out those sunflowers, crawling occasionally. Of course the Blues won the war (as usually is the case in military books) though the casualties were light. It seemed as if some of us couldn’t get along with the rangers. One party (rather, would-be party) was detained for a few minutes out by the San Antonio river one afternoon, and asked some embarrassing questions. Of course, they weren’t scared a bit (I mean the rangers weren’t) but just quit riding the roads that way. One of the most popular resorts visited by us was “Joe’s Hostelry,” where cold drinks to help us combat the heat were to be had. Joe was a man of most worthy character, and endeavored to his utmost to provide enough cold drinks for all the boys. It was only once or twice that parched throats could not be fixed up at Joe’s. Every Saturday night, a large-scale shin dig was promulgated at camp. At these, the boys really got acquainted with the cream of “Sassity.” It was great to ride around in someone else’s car after a day on the field versus the Reds. Then came the great escapade at Bulbs. At this place, to which we foot soldiers rode in trucks (thank goodness) we got a glance at God’s Country. It must still be His. He couldn’t give it away. There were hills, lots of rocks, ranges about two miles from camp, etc., and the whole business twenty miles from town! Everyone got plenty of action on the range every day, not to mention the parade each afternoon. Strange how few wanted to go to town at night, seemed quiet as could be about 8 p. m. each night. It is just such a life as that which causes boys to start chewing tobacco and hence become men. Lots of men were made at camp. The canteen was the life saver, as it had everything from cold drinks to bull-pens all the time. One great structure at Bulbs is number Thirteen, which stands in its field of sunflowers, a model for architects to marvel at. This building rendered much commendable service to the boys, and all remember it with thoughts of gratitude. The bathing system at Bulbs was down to perfection, and everyone got his bath on time. The chief trouble was in stowing the things away safely the next morning. Page 173 Artillery at Summer Camp the 13th of June, on a warm and sunny morn, the hills of San Antonio greeted many Aggies, who, drunk with the pleasures of a ten-day stay at home, came unsuspectingly to Camp Travis. In one door of a long unpainted warehouse entered many young men, joking and in the happiest of moods. Their clothes were of the latest cut, their hair was well combed and trimmed, their shoes neatly shined, in short, these young men were models of good dress and easy manners. But the far side of the warehouse emitted flocks and droves of just such men as drive army sergeants to profanity. New shoes, baggy trousers, shirts that hung in folds, sleeves too long, hat with a brim like a fishermen’s sou’wester, and sunk to the ears. In the army they call it a rookie, at A. and M. such a turnout labels a freshman, and a civilian would exclaim: There goes a boy who has never seen a locomotive.” Yet in that barracks bag, that added the final touch to this personification of clumsiness and self-consciousness—in that bar¬ racks bag were the clothes that had a few minutes before branded that man as college-bred. A sign Battery FX” posted just beyond the medical station, informed the embryo artillery¬ men that they had arrived at their barracks. All agreed that it was by design that our quarters were placed by the mess hall, and by chance that they were also near the hospital. Major Daugherty put in an appearance during the first morning, and recalled to our minds memories of our freshman year. By nightfall of that same day, Hell’s half-acre” had been organized, and beds were made army-style. Starting the second week, the time was devoted to riding, guard duty, and mounted parades. It was during this week that slow-trot” Darby earned his nickname, and it was in the gray of one of those sultry mornings that Captain Coughlin said: Cheese and crackers Bone, you are always late.” Then followed another week of riding, parades, harnessing, grooming, and trips to the city. Three weeks had passed, and on a Sunday we marched to Camp Bullis. At Bullis— but that is another story. We came back to Camp Travis for the last week of our training. And the barracks with its shower-room seemed like a palace after life at Bullis. Our officers received orders to begin exterminating the sunflowers on a field in front of the Remount station. The horses and car¬ riages were to break the stalks, and the men were to carry away the red-bugs. The men did their share. During this last week, our volley ball team won the camp championship, and another event of note was the demonstration of horsemanship a la Paul Revere” given by Pat Halloran. Finally came the day for mustering out, and after being paid, the students presented some cigars to the officers and men of Bat¬ tery F, Fifteenth Field Artillery. After another physical examination, the cadets piled into trucks and were taken to the railroad stations. ' T ' .ilAte- Cavalry at Summer Camp June 12th many hard riding troopers mounted up the near side of trains headed for San Antonio, some with heavy laden hearts and some with heavy laden hips, but anyway there was a general movement toward cool Santone. When we got to the various stations we were greeted by a crowd of very uninformed but uniformed R. O. T. C. Regulars, who took everything but our temperature. (The thermometer blew up on the first two arrivals.) Our baggage and other belongings were dumped unceremoniously into one of Uncle Sam’s worthy sea-going motor transports, and we climbed into another. Then through the mill of transformation. During one of the examinations the medico asked Duckett what two times four was. Duckett replied that he couldn’t say for he hadn’t eaten a thing for breakfast. When they issued clothes, Dangerous Dodson got a large garment that looked like a bathrobe, but somebody told him it was a wool shirt, and everything was all right. We then went over hill and dale, down to the last shack on 6th Street of Fort Sam, and the truck came to an abrupt halt. This was to be our home for the next three weeks. Our first impression of the “bedroom” was that it would make a good bakery oven. After the first week, which was taken up by rudimentary mounted and dismounted drill, combined with lectures on everything from horseshoeing to bed-making, life became more interesting. Some of the gallant cavaliers hit San Antonio Society awful blows, while others sought their en¬ tertainment at “The Grand” and “The Pearl.” Dime Dealy made the record for telling interest¬ ing stories, for it is said that he put one little Santone lady to sleep with his bedtime stories, and then followed suit. We rose one bright morning for an early breakfast, hastened to the stables, and saddled our noble war steeds. We mounted at command and set out for Bulbs, that wonderful land of beautiful hills, rattlesnakes and large rocks. At Bulbs, Dodson, Allen and Peters were selected to go to the Machine Gun Company, and it was here that these troopers showed the ole’ Cavalry Esprit de Corps, for Allen was declared the best machine gunner in camp. The remainder of the troopers spent their two weeks firing on the rifie and pistol range in daytime, and chasing rattle¬ snakes and armadillos in the moonlight. A good percentage qualified with rifies and pistols. The Commanding Ofificer pulled a nice barnyard hop at the end of the first week. We departed at the end of the second week by means of horseback, and with a sandwich in one hand and reins in the other, we rode slowly over the winding trail that leads to San Antonio. The last week was spent at Fort Sam in tactical maneuvers, and if we never learned to execute a command, we all learned how to maneuver out of a certain Colonel’s way. Troop EX was a hot contender for all camp honors, and was winner of the R. O. T. C. Decoration for the third week. We had, for senior instructor, Captain Davis, and his associates were Captains Buchly and Daniels and Lieutenants Hardy and Eaddy, all officers of the highest type and character. As the days fade out, and our memory re¬ calls summer camp life, we can sit back and say those are days never to be forgotten nor lived over again. Ye Gods and General Jackson. Page 175 m A ■ — 1 The Signal Corps at Camp Travis A FTER reading over the almost worn-out page of the good book, you will see where it says that there would be such days in the lives of Texas Aggies when they would assemble in the city of San Antonio and then be taken to the training camp to do time. If happenings cause indentations, it is a fact, then, that the boys in the Signal Section have corrugated brains. Everything hap¬ pened to us, even to the passing of the physi¬ cal examination. When assignments were being made we were either lucky or unlucky to have Headquarters Col.X23 Inf. honored by our presence. Carrp formally opened? Well, yes! Opened all the way from Gray son Street to the Salado Creek, and then some. The Signal Section (who, by the way, won the war) started their six weeks of military training in the communication school at Fort Sam. Here the boys were taught to handle the key and to receive the “diddle dee da” code. That’s not the code used by those who wish to flirt with the fairer sex. When Major Lewis thought that the majority of the section could qualify as operators we were taken into the field and permitted to put our knowledge of the subject into actual practice. Our Radio Instructor, Lieut. Paul L. Neal (then a single man), was loved and respected by all, but whenever a message went through on time he usually said: “Put it in DFC4 Code and send it again.” The Code group “ZLX” (meaning close station) was quite popular, and recognized as quickly as the National Anthem. If variety is the spice of life, then we had some spice. The monotony of camp life was broken by our occasional strug¬ gles on the 2nd Division dance platform. “Mount Trucks,” and then we were hauled to the far-away land of Bulbs. Four to a squad tent, and clean clothes only issued twice a week. Those who managed to remain in active service during our encampment at Bullis laid enough wire to connect two points that were at an infinite distance apart, and then have enough left to tie the two ends together. Those reel carts, better described as the real old-fashioned rig, seemed to just float in the air whenever you were not riding on them. Radio sets, sky hooks and reamers were numerously used on the maneuvers and us. Back to Camp Travis a week before camp closed. The last week was spent in lecture rooms and on the athletic field. Many lectures were given on preparedness and patriotism and the points were driven home. Headquarters Co. X 23rd Inf. won second place in the baseball league and 3rd place in the track meet. We drew pay from Uncle Sam, from those who had borrowed from us, and then paid it all out for a few hours of dancing on the Gunter Roof. We can hardly do less than express our thanks to Major Lewis, Lieut. Neal and Sergeant “Bawldy” Wright, who, acting in the capacity of instructors, did everything possible to make camp life enjoyable as well as profitable. Air Service Summer Camp fipvHE second week of June found many R. O. T. C. students preparing for a take-off, and Jb on Friday, the 13th of June, Air Service cadets made a perfect three-point landing at Brooks Field. The first two days were spent in drawing equipment and getting located, and by the time Monday arrived most everyone had the rating of a perfect barracks aviator. This camp was a thing that had been looked forward to for three long years, and the first day one would have thought that every man was smothering to death from the way he craved altitude. Our work in the air consisted of recon¬ naissance, sketching, radio, navigation, ar¬ tillery reglage, and general observation. The ground work was miniature range work, trapshooting, machine gun camera work, assembling of airplane engines, and eating. The mornings were devoted to flying, and the afternoons up until three o’clock were given to lectures and ground work. A cer¬ tain part of each day was given to swimming. The camp was a great success, and our only regret was that it ended too soon. 1 ' jk SjC o«. ! ps t Camp Travis O ii Jl.

Coming to the Aggies in 1916 from Mississippi, this former Carson-Newman and Centre College athlete has won for himself an enviable position in the eyes of all coaches and sport followers in the southwest. His heart is as warm as it is true and no coach has a greater interest in and love for his men than has D. X. Mr. Bible was the first man from the Southwest to become a member of the National Foot¬ ball Rules Committee, a position he has held for the past three years. Claude J. Rothgeb Line Coach Football, Baseball Combining his twenty years experience as a coach, together with the training he received as a three-letter athlete at the University of Illinois and as a member of several professional teams, one can very readily see that the Aggies should value the services of this man very highly. The ability of the football lines developed by Rothgeb and the success of the track and baseball teams may be taken as a criterion of the ability of this man as a coach. His method of training and dealing with his men have brought him in high favor with the students. Frank G. Anderson Track Coach, Freshman Football Anderson came to Aggieland with Coach Bible who considered him the best athlete he ever coached at Mississippi. Always working for the interests of the students and the institution, he has made many friends, while his teams have always given a good account of themselves. F. G. Anderson D. X. Bible C. J. Rothgeb Page 208 y fc � � Aggie Coactes H. H. House Director of Physical Training He bears the title of associate professor of physical education, and to him the freshman looks for the development of his physique. House is also the director of the intramural sports, which are playing such an important part in Aggie athletics, and it is to him that the broad scope and success of the league is due. He has a quiet, unassuming way of shouldering his responsi¬ bilities which will always get the desired results. Coach House received his training at Spring- field College and Clark University. John A. Pierce Assistant Coach Football, Freshman Basketball and Baseball Himself a former Aggie star of gridiron and court, Pierce is thoroughly acquainted with Bible’s system, and brings to the Aggies a great desire to see them successful. As an athlete j he was one of the smartest ever to don a uniform, and he has instilled into his men the teachings and love for the game that he exhibited during his career at Aggieland. Carl T. Sprague T rainer To Sprague goes some of the credit for the condition and vitality of the Aggie athletes. He is another man whose athletic career was spent at A. and M.

The feeling of the student body is exhibited in the play of the teams of this school as in no other institution, and receiving the proper support, the teams have been known to attain dizzy heights in their play and accomplish what seemingly was impossible. The teams are ably supported in defeat as well as in victory, and that is the test of the sincerity of the students. It is when a team is losing that they need one’s support most of all, and when the score is unfavorable to the Aggies you may readily see the change in the corps. It is no small task to lead a student body in the support of their teams, and the men who are selected to do such must be possessed of certain qualifications in order to produce the desired results. This year the Aggies had as yell leader the inimitable Cy Edwards, who with his able corps of assistants, Milo Abercrombie, E. Oscar Buck and Bob Oakes, kept the Aggie yelling up to its usual high standard. Edwards was especially sincere in his efforts to make the team a success. His feelings are best expressed in a poem which he often quoted and which is printed below: “When your heart goes out to the team you love, And your soul cries out to win, You will be paid for all you have spent; Eor victory will come in the end.” C.

Defensively, the Texas Aggie eleven was all that could be desired, but its offense was not varied enough and lacked the consistent drive so necessary to success. In Captain Louis Miller, the Aggies had an ideal leader, a triple-threat star, with whose loss went the chief offense of the team. Captain-elect Fay Wilson, all- Southwestern half, was the best punter in the conference and by his speed and drive gained many yards for the Farm¬ ers. Charley Waugh, the best defensive tackle in the con¬ ference, was another All-Southwestern pick. Neely Alli¬ son stamped himself as the best defensive end in the con¬ ference and was also placed on the mythical team. Ox Dieterich and Barlow Irvin at the other tackle were also outstanding linemen. Noisy Hardman, Jim Forgason, Norman Dansby, and Ochterbeck kept the guard posi¬ tions up to a high standard. John Brazelton and Cotton Meitzen held the center position down in a creditable manner. Red Wilson, the other end, was the best pass- receiver on the team, while Beutel also played several nice games at end. Bob Berry, at quarter, used his speed and elusiveness to gain more ground than any other man. Taro Kishi was a shifty half, who was very adept at picking holes, while McGuire, another half, should have a great season next year. Mit Dansby at full plunged the line well and did the majority of the passing. Clem Pinson en¬ tered school late and did not have the opportunity to show his real ability. With the backfield returning intact, and the majority of the linemen eligible for another year, together with additional material from the freshmen and battalion teams, the prospects of the 1925 season being a success are very good.

' 24 Aggies 40—Jolxn Tarleton HP HE Aggies as in previous years ushered in the season by winning an easy victory. This year it fell upon John Tarleton College tor the first time to furnish the opposition which enables I). X. to get a line on the men who are to bear the greater portion of the season’s work. As was anticipated, the Aggies encountered little opposition and the game resolved itself into more or less of a practice affair. Only once were the Aggies forced to punt, and by steady driving at the tackles they were able to gain at will. Only once was the Aggies’ goal line ever endangered and that followed a short passing attack. Fay Wilson led the offense in this game, accounting for two of the touchdowns and showing much improvement over his last year’s form. The work of Kishi, Waugh, and Allison was also outstanding, but it remained for little Bob Berry to stage the prettiest run of the day when he raced through a broken field for thirty-five yards and a touchdown. For the visitors, the work of Captain Jennings at end stood out. As usual Coach Bible gave every man upon his squad a chance to demonstrate his ability. Driving towards John Tarleton ' s goal Page 216 Aggies —Trinity o ¥N WHAT was expected to be a hard-fought game, the Aggies, displaying much better form than in their game with Tarleton, had comparatively an easy time in disposing of the Trinity Tigers, who were ranked as one of the strongest teams in the T. I. A. A. The Farmers started their scoring in the first few minutes of play when Fay Y ilson and Captain Miller advanced the ball to the 1-yard line where they were held for downs. The punt which followed found Neely Allison in its path, but the Aggies received only a safety on the play as Trinity recovered the ball behind their goal line. The old team could not get to functioning properly and there was no more scoring until the second half was still young when Mule circled end for twenty yards and a touchdown. After this play, scoring came thick and fast with a dimi¬ nutive Bob Berry furnishing the thrills by his uncanny broken-field running, while Louie Miller made some nice gains through the line. The work of the line on the offense, especially in the second half, was pretty to watch, while defensively it did everything that was desired, as may be seen from the fact that only two first downs were made through it. Morrison at quarter and McCluney at tackle showed up well for their team. Captain Miller hitting Trinity’s line Page 217 Aggies 54—Southwestern o THHE third game of the season, while being the most decisive victory that the Aggies had wen over any team in several years, was a very costly victory. In the first few minutes of play, after Wilson and Miller had worked the ball to the Southwestern five-yard line, Captain Miller was called upon to advance the ball again and his gain was the last of many he had made for his school, for in this play he suffered an accident which ended his career as an athlete. Miller, the punter, the passer, the plunger, was lost to his team and with the loss of this man went one of the best backfield men in the history of Aggieland, as well as a man who was making a great leader of his team upon the field. But the loss of Miller only seemed to enrage the Aggies and they hit the Pirates with all the power that they possessed. Again Bob Berry was an outstanding star, but he had a rival in this game in the person of McGuire, who played an alert game and accounted for four touchdowns. Jim Forgason was successful in kicking the ball between the posts six times in seven tries for point, besides playing a strong game at guard. The Pirates possessed little offense, however late in the game they made two nice runs which gave them their total cf two first downs for the game. Pane 218 Norman Dansby, Guard Jim Forgason, Guard Aggies 7==Sewanee o A POWERFUL line and the kicking toe of Fay Wilson won for the Aggies their second vic- tory in two years over the University of the South’s eleven in their annual inter-sectional clash at the Dallas Fair Park Stadium. The Sewanee Tigers used the experience gained a year ago, knowing that the defense built up by D. X. Bible could not be penetrated with a running or plunging attack, and from the first whistle until the last their chief weapon of offense was the pass. They threw aside all football judgment and passed from every position on the field, even from behind their own goal line, so desperately did they try to score. But it was also to the use of the forward pass that the Aggies owe their lone touchdown. Early in the first quarter, after Berry had made a nice return of a punt, two passes from Dansby to Allison and Red Wilson placed the ball on the one-yard line from where Mule carried it over for the lone score of the day. From then on the Aggies faced one pass after another and only Fay Wilson’s long punting kept the Tigers back. Only until the last few minutes of play, when Berry broke through for a fifty-yard run was the outcome of the game certain. Besides the punting of Wilson, the Aggies stars were on the defense with Allison, Waugh, Dieterich, and Irvin playing great games. Mule Wilson ' s punting featured every game Page 21 q u Barlow Irvin, Tackle John Brazelton, Center JrJA ' V I 3 S), c? Aggies 4o==Arkansas Aggies o A RKANSAS failed to live up to the reputation that had preceded them, and the hard game that was anticipated failed to materialize thereby giving them their third defeat in four years. The offense of the visiting eleven was noticeably weak, even weaker than the defense. For the first three-quarters they were able to make but one first down, but in the last period they advanced to the thirty-yard line for their nearest distance to the Maroon’s goal. The first string with Wilson and Mit Dansby supplying the power put over three touch¬ downs in the first half and the second string another. Early in the third quarter, two more were added by Wilson and Dansby and from this point on the game was turned over to the second squad and they held their own. Bill Pinson played a nice game in the backfield for the second squad. The Aggie line continued its marvelous play with Hardman, Irvin, and Waugh playing in a sensational manner. This brought the Aggies up to their conference schedule without a single defeat and not even a point having been scored against them to mar their record. Sewanee is stopped on the line of scrimmage Page 220 I m Louis Dieterich, Tackle Mir Dansby, Fullback Aggies Uo 7 i IL 7 IGHTING as only Aggies do fight, but unable to stop the sensational air attack of the South- iL ern Methodist University Mustangs, the Farmers were only able to secure a draw in their first conference game. It was a great game between the spectacular passing machine of the Mus¬ tangs featuring Stollenwerck and Bedford, and the safe and sane running and plunging attack of the Farmers with the result in doubt until the last pistol shot. The Mustangs were given a shock early in the first quarter due to the aggresiveness of Charley Waugh. Stolly attempted to punt but the brilliant Waugh broke through and blocked the kick and recovered the ball from where Wilson carried it over. Late in the second quarter, the Mustangs, passing from every conceivable formation, threatened the Aggie goal, but the line held and cn the fourth down with five seconds to play, Bedford fell on a pass across the goal line which Referee Quigley ruled complete and the score was tied. Coming back with all the fight and valor known to Aggieland, the third quarter belonged to the Aggies, but no score re¬ sulted although Mit Dansby’s place kick which would have won the game was a few inches too low, the ball hitting the cross-bar. For the Aggies it would be useless to name the men who starred, but there were some whose work was outstanding. Waugh was continually breaking through the line to throw runners for losses; Mit Dansby played in great style, as did his brother Norman; Berry made some brilliant tackles; while Allison stamped himself as the best defensive end in the conference.

Guard Aggies j—Baylor 15 TN THE annual Cotton Palace contest, the Aggies were forced to accept defeat at the hands of Baylor after one of the hardest-fought games ever witnessed. The Farmers were forced to meet a team which was playing far above its head with a spirit actuated by a superhuman desire to win which had been worked up from the beginning of the season. For three periods of the game the Aggies led, but in the last quarter old Lady Luck entered the side of the Bears and snatched a victory which lost for the Aggies their chance for the championship. Both teams earned one touchdown. Early in the second period, after Wilson put the ball deep in Baylor territory by his long kicks, Mule dashed off a first down and then Dansby shot a pass to Kishi who ran ten yards more for the touchdown which was expected to win the game. Baylor scored their first touchdown in the third period on a series of running and passing plays, but Pittman failed to kick goal and the score was 7 to 6 as the last quarter began. Mule Wilson fumbled just as the Aggies were driving for another touchdown and Pittman recovered and ran for a touchdown. Late in the game, a place kick was made which ended the scoring. A break decided the game as predicted and the defeat was a hard dose to swallow, but the Bears fought as a Baylor team had never fought before and victory was theirs. Dansby passes to Kishi for a touchdown Page 222 Aggies 2,8==T. C,, U. o ITH the aid of a new offense the Farmers won their first conference game of the season V v j n defeating the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University, but the score does not indi¬ cate the superiority in play that was exhibited. For the first time this season an offense of merit was uncovered with Bob Berry as its shining light. Never before have we seen one man play as he did today. Speeding and weaving his way through the T. C. U. defense, Berry gained a total of two hundred and sixty-three yards, more than all the other backfield men of both teams combined. But for frequent penalties and fumbles the score would have been much larger. The Aggies made a drive early in the first period for their first counter, soon after which Fay Wilson was injured and forced to retire. Mit Dansby dove across for a touchdown in the second quarter, while in the third Waugh blo cked a punt and ran for a touchdown, which was soon followed by Kishi’s returning a punt for the last score of the game. T. C. U. substituted frequently, but only in the last few minutes of play were they able to make a single first down. Berry, Kishi, Hardman, Waugh and Dansby played well for the Aggies, while if T. C. U. had any stars they were Clark and Honey. Mit Dansby going over for a touchdown Page 223 Aggies 13—Rice 6 TP ' HE old Aggie fight had to rise again before the Rice Owls were subdued in the last game of the season on Kyle Field, and it was this fighting spirit which made this victory possible. The Owls, with a victory over Texas and undefeated in the conference, entered the game deter¬ mined to win from their ancient rivals. The Aggie offense was completely stopped in the first half, while Rice scored a touchdown late in the second period when Hale received a long pass. Going into the last quarter without having even threatened the Owl goal, the Aggies seemed doomed to defeat under the six point lead. But the old Aggie fight which has become so famous had to be reckoned with. The entry of the crippled Fay Wilson seemed to put new life into the team. Dansby shot a pass to Red Wilson who made a great catch on the goal line, and Dansby’s place-kick was successful and the score was 7 to G with only a few minutes left to play. Just before the final gun Dansby plunged through center for fifteen yards and on the next play Kishi circled end for fifteen and the final score of the game. Mit Dansby, Waugh, Allison, Kishi and Red Wilson did honor to themselves and their team in this game; in fact, the whole team should be honored for the fight it made in the last few minutes of the game which resulted in the victory. Berry returning a punt against Rice Page 224 Aggies o=-Texas 7 nP ' HEN came the game of all games on both teams calendars, and it resulted in another dope il upset. Texas University, with only a mediocre season behind it, was expected to be defeated by the Aggies, but the Gods of Fortune would not have it so. The Farmers went into the game expecting to dedicate the Longhorn’s Memorial Stadium with a victory, and for the first half they clearly outplayed their ancient foes. In one of the most spectacular plays of the game, Kishi returned the opening kick-off forty-five yards, and the march was continued on up the field only to be held for downs on the Texas one-yard line. An¬ other drive to the Orange goal was lost by a pass across the goal line. The game itself then re¬ solved into a kicking duel, as neither team could penetrate the others defense. In the second half the Longhorns came back stronger than before, but the Aggies, weakened by injuries to Nor¬ man Dansby, Dieterich and Fay Wilson, held them in check until late in the final quarter when they received the break which resulted in their victory. A pass to Marley was blocked by Berry but in doing so he knocked it into the hands of Allen, who had a clear field to the goal. The whole Aggie team fought as only a team can fight, but the work of several men in this game was brilliant. Waugh, Allison, Dieterich, Berry, Wilson and Norman Dansby were out¬ standing men. 15 McClellan Garry Long Golasinski Reserve Football Squad, 1924 IQ KCEIVING the knocks from the varsity team day after day but always coming back for iTv more, the reserves never quit fighting and working in performing their essential duty of help¬ ing to mold the varsity machine. Playing the game because they love it, too much praise cannot be given to these men for their work. Working under the guidance of Peg Putnam, the Reserves maintained one of the strongest teams in the history of the school. The black-sweatered gang did not taste defeat in any of their regularly scheduled games. Marling and Houston Heights High School teams were defeated, while the strong freshman team was held to a scoreless tie. Playing in the line-up of the Reserves this year were several men who deserve special com¬ mendation. Of especial note were Garry, Long, Golasinski, and McClellan, all completing their third year as a member of this team. Others who were playing their second year were Grissom, Grunn, Franklin, Norris, and Mueller. Men like these are true sons of Aggieland.

From about two hundred and fifty men who first reported for training, fifty were selected to constitute the squad, whose average weight was one hundred and seventy pounds. Coach Andersen was assisted in training the first-year men by Henry Fitt, center cn the ’22 team but ineligible for varsity this year. These men worked hard and the evidence of their work may be seen from the games which they played. The fish had one of the best schedules in several years. John Tarleton College, Burleson College, and Allen Academy were all defeated, but score¬ less draws were played with Schreiner Institute and the Reserves. Their goal line was uncrossed while the first string was in the game. Several men who are expected to step into the vacant places on the varsity team and make others work for theirs next year are: Hunt, Woodland, Sprott, Maufrais, and Sikes. Fifteen numerals were awarded to the following men: Captain Woodland, Mathews, and Hill, tackles; Maufrais, Speed, and Rektorik, guards; Sprott, center; Burney, Lister, and Calloway, ends; Turner, quarter; Willis, Gay, and Sikes, halfbacks; and Hunt, fullback.

Squad men, who did not letter during the regular season, and members of the Freshman team gain more knowledge and experience from these games, which greatly benefit their work for the varsity squad. Then, too, each year some new men are uncovered who have not participated in athletics before and who have a good chance of developing into varsity material. The football league, and other intramural sports are directed by Coach House, with the as¬ sistance of one senior student from each organization. The sport managers for this year were: H. V. Goss, J. C. Rudd, H. B. Simpson, E. B. Snead, S. B. Grissom, G. D. Williams, and E. I. Bailey, to whom much of the success of the league is due. The Cavalry team stopped the First Battalion’s string of championships by winning the title when they defeated the Artillery team, who were undefeated up to that time. The Air Service also had a strong team. As a whole, all of the teams were strong on defense, but were lacking in consistent offense. As a climax to the season, a team chosen by Louie Miller defeated a team picked by Fay Wil¬ son, in which the following All-Battalion teams were selected: Ends Tackles Guards Center Quarter Halves Full .

The Texas Aggie basketball team which finished in fifth place surprised some of the critics in several of the games it played. Handicapped by lack of size, the Aggies did well to win some of the games they did. However it was one of the speediest teams ever to play for Aggieland. Defensively, the team was almost as strong as any in the conference but it lacked a consistent forward and center. Playing on their own court, the best floor in the South, the Aggies were extremely hard to beat, as may be seen from the fact that it required the champion¬ ship Oklahoma team ten minutes additional time to win by two points. Captain Paul Washburn, the stocky guard, was the most finished player on the squad. His floor work was excellent at all times, and his two goals from mid-court which tied the score in the Oklahoma A. and M. game, will long be remembered. Captain-elect Mark Wilcox is one of the speediest forwards ever to appear in an Aggie uniform, and his fighting spirit was of great importance in the Aggies’ success. Harry Duckett, playing his last year at forward, was the leading scorer for the Aggies. Sid Kyle, at center, turned in several nice games, while Archie Damon’s spirit and hard work made him a valuable man. Dime Dealy, a guard of last year, played well at both forward and center. Punk Baker, playing his first year at guard, was one of the sensations of the season and next year should find him an all-conference man. The work of Tucker, another sophomore, is one more reason why the Aggies should feel optimistic over the 1926 team. Other men on the squad who kept the regulars working for their positions were: Krueger, Perkins, and Shelton, forwards; Board, guard; and Dansby, center. Coach Bible and Capt. Washburn Interior of the Memorial Gymnasium Page 231 Non-Conference Games npHE Aggies spent the Christmas holidays in Houston, where they continued their practice for the season under the direction of Gene Darby, sensational forward of the ’24 team, who assisted Coach Bible throughout the season. Several games were played with independent fives, among which was a series with the strong Houston Triangles. A severe blow was dealt the Aggie hopes in these games, however, as Wilcox received a broken finger which kept him out of most of the conference campaigns. Opening the court season for 1925 in the new gym, the Aggies won two games from the Sam Houston Normal team. These games were closer than the score indicates, and in the second game the Normal secured a six-point lead, but Damon’s seven points, secured immediately after the second half began, gave the Aggies a lead which was not wrested from them. ddie Farmers defeated the Austin College quintet 26 to 5 in a very uninteresting game. The Kangaroos seemed lost on the big court, while the Farmers could have won by fifty points had they played the game of which they were capable. INDIVIDUAL RECORDS F. G. F. T.

While fight was not lacking in this game, both teams were decidedly off on their crip shots. Baylor held the lead until the last few minutes of play when Dime Dealy put the Aggies in the lead with a difficult shot. Tucker was high man of the game, but the all-round work of Captain Washburn was outstanding. Playing the last game of the season in the Memorial Gymnasium, the Aggies humbled the Bears by the score of 26 to 10. Bridges’ men tried to turn the game into a football match after seeing that they were outclassed at basketball, but their tactics failed to produce any results. Scoring was slow in getting started and it was only after ten minutes of play that Kyle sunk the first basket of the game. From then on the Aggies slowly accumulated their total while the Bears were unable to hit the basket with any degree of success. Kyle and Wilcox each scored ni ne points for the Aggies while Sisco was the only player of mention for Baylor. T. C. U. Series ]n)LAYING on a small court and handicapped by their small size as compared to the Christians quintet, the Aggies lost to T. C. U. 22 to 14, following their victory at Waco. The team¬ work of the Farmers excelled that of their opponents, and until the last two minutes of play were only two points behind. The work of Washburn and Baker at guards received much comment. The Aggies’ inability to make crip shots cost them their last game with the Horned Frogs, the score being 20 to 17. The Farmers w ere leading at the end of the half, but a substitution by the Christians resulted in their gaining the lead. The work of Baker and Washburn was up to their usual standard, while Wilcox lead the scoring with seven points. h Page 233 Marvin Dealy Fonvard Harry Duckett Forward S. M. U. Series ITN THE first game of a road trip which carried them to Dallas and Fayetteville, the Aggies lost to the Mustangs 35 to 24, after holding a lead of seven points at the end of the half. The second half the standard of play of both teams was changed, and with Bedford unable to miss the basket, the Mustangs gained the lead. Showing a complete reversal of form over that of the game with the Mustangs in Dallas, the Aggies broke loose and defeated their rivals 38 to 26, thereby getting an even break in the series. It was the superior endurance and speed of the Aggies coupled with accurate shooting by Tucker that won for the Aggies. After the Methodists were leading 12 to 6, Bible sent in Wilcox, Tucker and Dealy, and the substitution proved its worth by tying the score as the half ended. The fast game wore the Ponies down and in the second half the Aggies scored almost at will. Tucker with fourteen points to his credit was the Aggies’ offensive star, while Wilcox played the floor well. The Aggie guards played their usual strong game and also contributed three goals each, which came at critical moments in the play. Arkansas Series IC ' OLLOWING the S. M. U. game in Dallas, the Aggies lost two games to Arkansas University by the largest scores an A. and M. team was ever defeated. Pickel and Adams hitting the basket from every angle were the bright spots in the Porker’s play. The Aggies passed well in these games and Duckett and Kyle led the offense. With this series went the Aggies’ chance at the title. Archie Damon Forward Sid Kyle Center Page 234 Rice Series ]n)LAYING the first conference game of the season in the Memorial Gymnasium, the Aggies defeated the Rice Owls 35 to 17. Until the half was almost over the Owls seemed destined to win, but Kyle started a rally in which Duckett counted six points and the Aggies went into the lead as the half ended. The second half saw ' the complete submission of the Owls and the Aggies counted twenty points while their opponents were making but seven. Duckett led the scoring with ten points to his credit, closely followed by Kyle and Tucker with eight each. The game in Houston was almost a repetition of the first, the Owls gaining the lead at the start only to have the Aggies overcome it in the end. Duckett accounted for twelve of his team’s twenty-nine points. Oklahoma A. and M. Series ’TP ' HE games with the champion Oklahoma Aggies were two of the fastest ever seen in Aggie- land. In the first game the visitors opened an attack which the Farmers were unable to fathom and were soon leading 12 to 1, but here the Aggies rallied and the half ended 16 to 6. In the second half the Aggies outscored their opponents, but the lead was too great to overcome. Hall scored thirteen of the Sooner’s total, while for the Aggies Dealy, Wilcox, and Baker were outstanding. The second night found the Aggies fighting hard for a victory and their efforts were almost rewarded, as it recpiired two extra five-minute periods to decide the winner. The first half be¬ longed to the Aggies and at its end they were leading 10 to 5, through the aggressiveness of Kyle, Dealy, and Washburn. Both teams came back with a rush in the second half and by making good their long shots the Sooners went into the lead by two points. With seconds left to play, Paul Washburn shot a goal from mid-court which tied the score at 15-all, and in an extension period he duplicated his feat, but in the last period the Sooners won 19 to 17. Captain Wash¬ burn was the star of stars, also tieing with Kyle for high-man with seven each. Page 235 Punk Baker Guard Hollis Tucker Forward Texas Series HE new Memorial Gymnasium was dedicated with a sensational victory over the Texas University quintet, the Aggies scoring twenty-one points to their opponents’fourteen. In the presence of the old “T” men and playing under the inspiration that the occasion demanded, the Aggies reached dizzy heights to win. The superior size of the Longhorns gave them an ad¬ vantage that was hard to overcome, but the speed and endurance of the Aggies was too great for the visitors. The Aggies drew first blood in this memorable encounter when Duckett hit the basket for a goal, but Texas was leading at the half 7 to 3. The Aggies in their supreme effort to win were forgetting their team-play and science, and it required the rest between halves for them to forget the excitement that prevailed. Two free throws and a nice shot by Wilcox knotted the count and another by the speedy forward put the Farmers in the lead. Esqtiival soon tied the score, but Mark Wilcox was playing the game of his career and he again dribbled through the Texas defense for a counter. Goals by Tucker, Duckett, and Wilcox put the Aggies in the lead by 18 to 11, and in the final five minutes Kyle scored another for the Aggies while Texas was making three points. The entire Aggie team covered themselves with glory in this game, but the work of the speedy Wilcox was particularly outstanding. The second meeting of the two ancient foes produced another exciting and hard-fought encounter which the Longhorns won 17 to 13. The Aggies ma intained a lead until the final five minutes of play, when two goals by Nations gave the Longhorns the game. The failure of the Aggies’ forwards to hit the basket led to their defeat. Kyle led the Aggies’ scoring with seven points. Gus Krueger Forward J. H. Shelton Forward J. F. Broad Guard Page 236 Freshman Basketball Tn)LAYING by far the best schedule a freshman team has ever played at this institution, the team Coach Johnnie Pierce developed from the Class of ’28 went the entire season without sustaining a defeat. S everal of the men who showed to advantage in the battalion league were also members of this squad. As a whole, the team was fairly fast, and with two exceptions the entire squad was composed of good-sized men, who will help remedy the handicap under which the varsity team of this year was forced to play. Starting with a game with Bryan High, games were then played with Houston Central High, Taylor High, and Allen Academy, all of which were won by decisive scores. The last road trip the team made resulted in three more wins. The strong Corsicana High was first defeated, which was followed by the defeat of two of the strongest teams in the Fort Worth City League. Capt. Sykes at center, Clark at forward, and Broiles at guard were the stars of this trip. At the close of the season nine members of the squad were awarded numerals in recognition of their services, as follows: Captain Sykes, center; Clarke, forward; Smith, guard; Broiles, guard; Furneaux, forward; Prescott, forward; Figarri, guard; Williamson, forward; and Graham, guard. Other men who played in several of the games were: Mathews, Turner, Myers, Harris, Swift, and McClung. Page 237 Top row —Coach Pierce, Clarke. Myers, Sikes (C), Mathews, Swift, Harris, Smith Bottom row —Broiles, Prescott, Furneaux, Williamson, Turner, Figgari, McClung TT ' HK Inter-Company Basketball League was held under a different plan this year than that of any previous season. Instead of each battalion being represented by a team, a team was organized in each company. This plan afforded more men the opportunity to participate than in any previous season, app roximately two hundred and fifty men taking part in this sport, since instead of seven teams there were twenty-two organizations represented. Under the new plan, the twenty-two teams were divided into four leagues and the winners of each league played for the final championship. The companies winning the different league championships were: Companies A, B, F and G, all in the Infantry. Each team was undefeated in their group. In the semi-finals, Company A defeated Company G and Company B defeated Company F. In the game which determined the championship, A defeated B by the score of 17 to 4 and were thus awarded the league championship. The value of these games lies not only in the training of more men for the varsity team, but in the physical benefits derived therefrom by all participants. This year it was necessary to play the games on outdoor courts, since the new Memorial Gymnasium had not been completed, and the men are deserving of additional credit for playing in the disagreeable weather that prevailed Company A Infantry Basketball Team Top row —Roensch, Graham, Adkerson, Richmond Bottom row —Williamson, Mayfield (Coach), Gohmert Page 238 mmmmmsammm Track vr Page 23Q Tike Season March 26, at Georgetown A. and M................. 87 April 5, at Dallas A. and M.................105 April 12, at College A. and M.................112 April 16, at College A. and M................. 91 May 2, at Austin A. and M.................44| May 10, at Austin..................

There was a general improvement noted in all events and more records were broken at the conference meet this year than in any other previous year. But perhaps the most signifi¬ cant thing in comparison with other years was the general high standard of excellence and all- around ability that prevailed among the competing teams, as well as the increased interest in track as a major sport. The Texas Aggies had a team which in previous years would have been capable of winning the title, but this year they were forced to be content with second place after giving the vic¬ torious Texas Longhorns a great battle for the title. The Aggies’ main weakness was in the weights, their stronghold in years gone by, and also in the hurdles. In Captain Jack McCullough, slight in build but strong in the determination and will to win, the Aggies had an outstanding athlete. He entered and usually placed in the pole vault, low hurdles, broad jump, and the high jump—too great a task for an ordinary athlete to perform, but Jack did it unhesitatingly. In the pole vault McCullough has bever been defeated during his collegiate career. To climax this wonderful record he set a new mark at the conference meet in his favorite event which will stand for some time to come, and then was awarded first place in the Olympic tryouts at New Orleans. In Both, there was another outstanding individual who was the high-point man for the entire season and bids fair to repeat next year. To go through an entire season undefeated in two events is quite an accomplishment, yet that is the heights which Poth attained this year. Other outstanding athletes who were largely responsible for the Aggies’ success were: Weddell, in the middle distances; Gillespie and Old in the distance runs; Davidson in the quarter and relay; Wilson, in the dashes; Ward, in the jumps and pole vault; Damon, the broad jump; Allison and Dicterich, in the javelin; and Quinby, in the hurdles. These men, together with other squad men and the stars of the freshman squad, make the prospects of the team’s being crowned Southwestern Champions in 1925 exceedingly bright. Page 241 16 Aggies 87—-Southwestern 2 , 2 , nPHE Aggies easily won their initial meet of the season by defeating Southwestern University at Georgetown on March the twenty-sixth. The Aggies completely outclassed their rivals, who were able to take but two first places. On account of the early season no exceptionally fast time was made in any of the events. Poth carried off high honors by winning both dashes and the broad jump, while Captain McCullough won the low hurdles and pole vault. McCluney was the Aggies outstanding man in the weights. Other men winning first places in their events were: Allison, Bowen, McConnell, and Johnson. It was well for the Aggies that Southwestern did not have more men with the ability of Mateer. This sturdy athlete alone accounted for fourteen of his team’s total of twenty- two points. Page 242 Illillll W. H. Davidson, Quarter, Relay Jacob Poth, Sprints, Broad Jump Aggies 105—8. M. U. 12, np HE Aggies next dual meet was with the Southern Methodist University Mustangs in Dallas, and was a more pronounced victory for the Maroon and White than any of the season, and to show our superiority in all events the Mustangs were unable to garner a single first place. The Aggies were not forced to extend themselves to win, however some good marks were hung up. Poth was again the leading scorer of the meet, making one more point than the entire S. M. U. team, besides dashing off the 220 in the record time of twenty-two seconds. Neely Allison was also in fine form and threw the shaft for a distance of 177 feet and 2 inches, while Gillespie dis¬ played his ability by breaking the tape in both distance runs. Other first-place winners were: Quiiiby, Davidson, Weddell, McCullough, Ward, R. O. Wilson and Damon. The Mustangs amassed their grand total of twelve poi nts by winning second places in the hurdles, high jump, and shot-put. Starting the mile against Baylor Page 243 gm—g——a—a—BMBa—ge—aanaiTnww Donald Old, Mile Archie Damon, Broad Jump Aggies 112,—Freshmen 5 r Ip HE annual Varsity-Fish encounter was hard-fought from start to finish despite the over- whelming victory for the veterans. While the fish failed to carry off but one place, they pushed the older men all of the way and forced them to turn in their best times for the season to beat them. Several of the men on the first-year squad gave evidence of developing into con¬ sistent performers by the time they are eligible. Captain McCullough was the outstanding individual for the day by placing in three events which gave him a total of thirteen points. In the dashes the Poth-Wilson monopoly was threat¬ ened for awhile by Mitchell, while in the broad jump, Webb gave evidence of being a capable man by jumping 22 feet 4 .inches. Weddell made his best time of the entire season in this meet, as did Davidson, who stretched his long legs over the quarter in 50:3 seconds, thereby beating the conference record. Both breaking the tape against Baylor Page 244 Alvis Ward, Pole Vault, High Jump Roy Quinsy, Hurdles Aggies 91—Baylor 5 [P ' HE dual track meet with the Baylor Bears marked the fourth time that the Aggies over- whelmed their opponents, and but for our weakness in the hurdles the victory would have been much greater, for thirteen of the visitor’s points were amassed in these events. Jack McCullough again demonstrated his all-round ability by tieing for first place in the pole vault and high jump, and winning second in the low hurdles and broad jump. Both and Wilson swept the dashes as usual, while Bowen and Davidson ran their events in good style. Royal and Weddell led in their track events, while Leuty, Wilson, and Damon were other Aggie first-place winners in the field events. So completely were the Bears outclassed, they were unable to place in a single track event except the hurdles. Jones, by winning both hurdle events, was Baylor’s outstanding athlete. Page 245 Neely Allison, Javelin J. G. Gillespie, Two-Mile Aggies 4405—Texas 72,-5 nPHE meet with the Rice Owls being cancelled on account of heavy rains, the next opponent the Aggies met was the great Texas University team in Austin. Like the Aggies, the Long¬ horns had been swamping all opponents by large scores, and the result of this meet would largely determine the conference champion. The Farmers gave them a great battle but in the end the superiority in the weights and hurdles carried them to victory. Jackson of the Longhorns was the leading scorer of the meet, followed by Poth and Reese. The flying Poth made the century in 9:4 and the furlong in 22, while in the two-mile event four men broke the conference record, Trout beating Gillespie by inches. The relay was another close event, Ritchie overtaking Davidson in the last few yards to win. Wilson, McCullough, Ward, Damon, Weddell, Old, and Dieterich were other Aggies to win places. In all, three records were broken and two others were equalled. The final score does not represent the closeness of the meet; all of the events were won by a. shade and another meet could easily bring out a different winner. It was easily the best meet of the season and cue long to be remembered. Jack McCullough clearing the bar Page 246 pTTj Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Conference Meet Hp EX AS 67M) Texas A. and M. 35 , Baylor 20M, Arkansas 16, Oklahoma A. and M. 103A, -T T. C. U. 7 , Rice 5, and S.

Captain McCullough of the Texas Aggies set a new pole vault record of 12 feet 1 inch; Reese of Texas broke the half-mile record with the time of 1:57.1; Jackson also of Texas broadjumped a distance of 22 feet 10 J inches; Musselman of Arkansas ran the two-mile in 9:49; Stancliff of Rice hurled the discus 134 feet 9 inches; and Gaunt of Baylor leaped 6 feet bo inch for a new record in this event. The Aggies placed a man in every event but two, but the Longhorn’s majority of first places gave them the margin of victory. Jackson of Texas was the leading athlete of the meet, while Both of the Aggies maintained his undefeated record in the sprints and accounted for ten of his team’s total. Other point winners for the Aggies were: Ward, Quinby, Weddell, Old, Gillespie, Wilson, Waugh, Allison, Davidson, Damon, Simpson, and Dieterich. The Aggies as a whole, however, were not up to their usual standaid. Page 247 PresJunan Track Team, 1924 a track athlete and unless the prospective athlete has re¬ ceived some training in his high school days, the chances are that he will not have the ability to make a college team when he reaches college. The fish team is a good medium whereby the prospective athlete may correct any incorrect instruction he might have received in his prep school career and also further develop his ability to the point where he can successfully compete in intercollegiate athletics. Under the direction of Coach Anderson, the team developed from the class of ’27 did some very good work and some individuals were developed who will be of great assistance to the varsity team of 1925 and succeeding years. The first meet which was held in competition with the varsity resulted in a decisive victory for the veterans. Webb was the only fish able to carry off a first place, however all of them pushed the old men in every event and forced them to turn in their best records for the season in order to win. Webb’s distance of 22 feet 5 inches in the broad jump will win first place in most conference track meets. A triangular meet was held with Allen Academy and Houston Central High as the other competitors, which was won by Allen over the fish by a very close score. In a return dual meet with Allen Academy held later in the season the first-year men emerged victorious. Men showing the best ability in these meets were: Webb, McKensie, Mitchell, Woolridge, Brock, Macy, and Hart. Freshman numerals were awarded to the following men: Captain Mitchell, sprints; Wool¬ ridge, sprints; Arnold, quarter; Hart, high jump and hurdles; Brock, half-mile; Crump and Macy, distances; Webb, broad jump; Appleman, high jump, and McKensie, shot-put and discus.

While it is true that Coach House had five regulars from last year’s team around which to build his team besides a number of squad men, yet the places left vacant were not capably filled and the team failed to func¬ tion as it should. Then, too, an injury to Gill left House with only one dependable hinder available for duty. As a whole, the team was fairly consistent in its hit¬ ting, but it was woefully weak in its field¬ ing, and to this fact, together with a lack of pitching strength, may be attributed the loss of the majority of the games. Texas and Baylor were the only teams, however, who were able to win their series from the Aggies. Several men were developed who might see higher service in the national pastime, while all of the men were benefited by the experience received, which will improve their playing for the next season. Captain Jack Forgason was the most consistent hitter on the squad, having- hit safely in every game that he started. As a base-runner he was without an equal, and as captain of his team, by his hard work, he served as an inspiration to his teammates. Captain-elect Lefty Rogers, upon whose shoulders the success of the ’25 team will largely rest, bore the brunt of the pitching duty. Possessed of fair control, a good fast ball, and a nice assortment of curves, Lefty was one of the leading pitchers in the conference. To Manor Puckett goes the hitting honors of the team and what a hitter he was. Hitting over .400 for the entire season, he was a man feared by every op¬ posing pitcher. In three of the Texas games he was walked six times by order of Billy Disch. Chapman, at third, was another man who came into his own this year, and his many timely hits won several games for the Aggies. Johnston played his second year at the initial bag, fielding his position in great style besides poling several long hits. Craig and Crawford alternated at second and showed flashes of real ability, but both were weak hitters. Montgomery, playing his first year at short-stop, was prone to blow up in a pinch, but should be a muchly im¬ proved player next year. Sid Kyle and Jack Williams completed the outfield and both were good hitters and covered their positions in a creditable manner. Graves did quite a bit of mound duty, and although small for a pitcher, turned in several nice games. Brazelton alternated with Forgason behind the bat and with a little more experience should be a nice ball-player. Page 251 Jack Forgason H. L. Rogers Catcher Pitcher Captain ’24 Captain ’25 7A 1 fy m 1 % r Non-Conference Games HE Aggies opened their 1924 baseball season by dividing a two-game series with the Waco A club of the Texas Association, the Aggies winning the first game with Rogers pitching by a score of 9 to 2, and losing the second contest 8 to 5. Another series with the Temple Texas Association team was also split. In the first game Rogers let them down with three hits but lost the decision 1 to 0. Timely hitting won the second start by a score of 6 to 4. T. C. U. Series TN THE first encounter with T. C. U. at College, Rogers, although he struck out ten men, was A hit hard and the Christians won 9 to 4. Successive hits by Kyle, Forgason, Bradford and Rogers produced three of the Aggie runs in the fourth. The last came in the eighth when For¬ gason tripled to right and scored on Bradford’s infield out. The Aggies came back in the second game and drove Scott, Horned Frog ace, from the mound in the third inning when Kyle tripled with the bases full and Forgason followed with a double, winning the game 12 to 7. Puckett’s triple in the first scored two men and Chapman’s single in the second drove two more across. Johnston s hit scores two men Page 252 1 I v 4 y A Wh f r Rice Series TTN THE series with Rice the Aggies were victorious in three of the four contests. The first iL conference game of the season resulted in a score of 11 to 2, with Rogers, the Aggies southpaw, having the Owls in control at all times. In the third inning, hits by Craig, Chapman and Puck¬ ett were followed by a long double off the bat of Johnston, and the scoring continued with hits by Bradford Rogers and Williams until six runs had resulted. The second contest was a farce in so far as a baseball game was concerned. A total of twen¬ ty-three hits resulted in twenty-five runs while the Owls were counting but nine times. John¬ ston put the Aggies in front with a home run with two men on the paths, but Rice scored two runs in the first and four more in the second. In the fourth the team broke loose and seven runs had counted before the inning was over. Johnston, with two home runs, a double, and a single, Puckett with six safeties and Williams with four featured the Aggies’ hitting for the afternoon. Playing in Houston, the first game went to the Aggies by a score of 13 to 3, largely due to three home runs by Puckett, two by Kyle, and Williams’ four singles. The second encounter resulted in the only Owl victory when they won by a score of 9 to 7. The Aggies jumped into the lead in the first when Chapman poled a homer scoring F-orgason in front of him, and Craw¬ ford doubled, scoring Kyle. But in the fourth the Owls jumped on the ofiferings of Graves and scored five runs, which lead they maintained until the end of the game. M Kyle scoring on T. C. U. Page 253 J. I).

In the first game at College, Rogers pitched the Aggies to a 7-to-2 victory, winning the game in the second when an error and a fielder’s choice was followed by doubles by Rogers and Montgomery. Triples by Kyle and Johnston accounted for two more runs in the third. The second game was lost by the close score of 6 to 4, due largely to their inability t o hit in the pinches. At least one hit was secured by the Farmers in every round. Three runs were scored in the sixth on an error and hits by Kyle, Forgason and Johnston. A rally in the ninth produced another run when Chapman scored Brazelton with a double. Playing errorless ball behind Rogers, the Aggies won the first game in Dallas by the score of 6 to 1, despite the strong pitching of Bassinger. Five runs were scored in the seventh when the Aggies filled the bases on the inability of the Mustangs to field bunts, then a walk forced in a run and Puckett cleared the bags with a triple. Gill scored Puckett with a sacrifice fly. Timely hitting also won the second encounter by a score of 5 to 3, which went ten innings before a victory was gained. A two-run lead was tied by the Aggies in the eighth on hits by Gill, Chapman and Kyle, and the game was won in the tenth when Kyle walked, Johnston singled, and Johnny Brazelton came through with a long triple, scoring them both. Outside of the third inning, when the Mustangs bunched several hits for their three runs, Doc Graves pitched a cred¬ itable game. Lefty Rogers in action against S. M. U. Page 254 Baylor Series IDAYLOR has always been the Aggies’ jinx in baseball, and this year was not an exception. JH ) Playing their poorest ball of the season in all of the games with the Bears, all three contests were lost. The first game at College was won by the Bruins largely because of the nine Aggie errors and the strong pitching of Freeze. Forgason secured two hits in as many times at bat before being forced to retire as a result of a split finger which kept him out of the game for several weeks. Brazelton, who succeeded Jack, played a nice game, however. In the second game Graves held the Bears to seven hits, while his teammates were collect¬ ing eleven off of the delivery of Gore, but again the Aggies lost by a 7-to-4 count. Errors again played an important part in the final result. The Bears put the game away early when they scored five runs on three hits and the same number of errors. In the sixth three hits failed to produce a run for the Aggies, who had men left on bases in every inning. Puckett, Kyle and Brazelton led the Farmers’ attack. After winning two games from S. M. U. in Dallas, the Aggies lost by a score of 5 to 1 , their third contest of the season to Baylor, after the first game there had been rained out. Coach House started Graves in the box with only one day’s rest, but Doc was forced to retire after three runs had crossed the plate. Rogers let them down with three hits for the remainder of the game. Puckett and Kyle accounted for five of the six hits the Aggies made. -c m y o yd, G.,j ■VC: ; r; v m.. vG ■ .y ■ . ■ ; .

Montgomery Second base Shortstop Texas Series np EXAS UNIVERSITY triumphed over the Aggies in all of their contests as it did over the iL other teams in the conference. The first game at College was a pretty pitching duel between Ponsford and Rogers, with a final score of 3 to 1 in a game which was easily the best of the sea¬ son. Texas scored two runs in the second on a walk, Kibbie’s triple and Odom’s single. The lone Aggie score came in the fifth when Forgason tripled and scored on Kyle’s hit. The second game was anything but a well-played contest, the Longhorns winning an easy victory. Crawford was driven from the box in the first inning and Graves, who relieved him, fared little better. Eckhardt’s pitching and hitting featured an otherwise featureless game. King Gill started his first game of the season in Austin in the last series of the season, but his old effectiveness had disappeared and Jennings was forced to pitch most of the game. Pons¬ ford again pitched a strong game, only Puckett being able to solve his delivery. Another real game was the last of the season in which the Longhorns won 4 to 3. Rogers and Eckhardt each allowed seven hits but the four Aggie errors deprived them of whatever chances they had to win the game. Puckett scored the first run for the Aggies by his homer in the first inning. Forgason also scored in this inning, and in the third Crawford scored another. In the sixth Texas tied the score and put over the winning run in the seventh. Forgason is safe at home Page 256 John Brazelton R. H.

There might have been better individual players than some on this team, but as a whole it will outrank most of the teams of previous years. Under the direction of Johnnie Pierce and Pete Wilson, the team was ably coached and developed. In hitting, the team was only fair, but its fielding was pretty to watch. Outside of practice tilts with the varsity, in which the first-year men sometimes won, very few games were played. Allen Academy and neighboring high school teams were their chief opponents. The men who have attained sufficient development to step into the varsity shoes next year are: Baker, Tucker, Grayson and Scheuneman. There are several others, however, who will make the old men work hard in order to keep their places. Numerals were awarded the following men in recognition of their services and ability: Baker, shortstop; Bauknight, Bryant, Hillin and Crews, pitchers; Grayson, first base; Blount, second base; Tucker, third base; Scheuneman and Schnoble, catchers, and Floyd, Halsell, Shelton, and McConaughey, outfielders. m as l rT vJJ Top roiu —Pierce {Coach), Crews, Dyer, Bryant, Bauknight, Olsen, Wilson Middle row —Schnoble, Shelton, Floyd, Grayson (C), Halsell, Blount, Tucker Bottom row —Driver, Scheuneman, Baker, McConaughey, Meador Page 25 Cross-Country Team, 192,4 IPfoUE largely to the efforts of Coach Anderson, Cross-country is one sport in which the Aggies have always made a good record, and with an increase in the number of men participating in the annual inter-battalion meet, it is destined to remain a winning sport. Several good track men have been developed from this sport, and in the years that the Aggies have failed to win the championship they have been barely beaten. Cross-country is a sport which requires nothing but hard work to develop one’s ability. It is lacking in the sporting thrill found in other sports, but it requires a man with an iron nerve and courage to run this race. The prospects of another winning team were exceedingly bright when one noticed the ma¬ terial from last year’s team and the addition of some new men. In a dual meet with Texas the Farmers were victorious, Captain Gillespie winning first and Royal third places. But in the conference meet the Aggies failed to come through and were barely beaten for the championship by Texas. Royal was beaten for first place by a few inches only, while Gillespie was the fourth man to finish the long grind. Men showing up well besides those previously mentioned were: Crump, Killian, Johnson, Barnard, Bowen and Weddell. Page 259 Top row —Coach Anderson, Johnson, Crump, Bowen and Barnard Bottom row —Killian, Captain Gillespie and Royal 102,4 Tennis Season ENNIS is rapidly becoming a popular sport with the students at A. and M. and each year finds more men seeking the pleasure that may be derived from the participation in this sport. At the present time it may be said that tennis is in its infancy at the school, but the time will soon come when it will receive the support of the majority of the students. There are now only enough courts for the varsity team to practice, but through the untiring efforts of Coach Thomas and with the co-operation of the athletic department, the Aggies may boast of courts which are the equal of any in the southwest. Tennis offers an opportunity for almost perfect exercise. Playing in the open air, and exer¬ cising every part of the body, it has great physical values. It is also a developer of keenness of sight, of speed, and general agility. It also has its educational and moral values, while the fact that it may be played from childhood on through one’s active life is another item in its favor. The Aggies’ success in tennis this year was not any better than in former years, yet the type of play and interest manifested was greatly improved. Matches were held with Texas Christian U., Southern Methodist U., Baylor, and Texas, besides the conference meet which was held at Dallas this year. The Aggies were victorious in their matches with T. C. U. and Baylor, while they gave stiff opposition to S. M. U. and Texas. In the conference meet, the strong Texas team was victorious. Captain Bill Rounds played first singles for the Aggies, and while prone to be erratic, gave a good account of himself. Captain-elect Red Hinman, was possessed of one of the best services in the conference and gave his opponents much trouble. Gene Darby and Monk Underwood played their first year as regulars but both showed flashes of real ability. The freshman team of this year was easily the best in the history of the school and they gave the varsity squad some real competition.

Elaine Bizzell H. D. Duckett Page 264 1_ Corps Dances TT is a known fact that a man cannot work hard every day, and with no recreation, with nothing to make him take his mind off his work, do his best. It was with that thought in mind, that the powers above, several years ago, gave permission for two dances a month to be held on the campus. Each year the dances are put under one member of the senior class who is elected by the class as social secretary. They entrust him with the responsibility of having the dances at the most appropriate time and with the responsibility of financing them out of the door receipts. On September the twenty-seventh, the social calendar of the year started with a bang, when at 8:30 the Aggieland burst forth with the first strains of “Goodbye to Texas University.” It was the same old Aggieland of the previous year with the exception of Sol Bartlet and his educated trombone. After playing together the entire summer in Corpus Christi, the boys came back “rarin” to show their stuff to the corps, the Bryan girls and visitors. And it has been that way every corps dance since then. If it’s possible each time the Aggie¬ land seems to get better. Skinner on the piano, and Wilson Reedy on the traps are an invincible combination, while Pink whips his banjo around until one can’t understand what make it stay together. On the wind instruments, Paul Washburn on the trumpet, Percy Zimmerman on the Saxophone, Elton Willet with both his clarinet and saxophone, and Barney Dodd with his trom¬ bone and bass horn, complete a quartet that is practically unbeatable. Seldom has such music been put out. Naturally, they do not compare as musicians with members of the opera com¬ panies, but in their own field, they’re the best. After the first dance a space of six weeks elapsed, during which time the football team was away, or something else interfered with the staging of another successful dance. After the vic¬ tory over T. C. U. tho, the crowd once more gathered in the wooden annex of Sbisa’s emporium and celebrated their victory. At every opportunity since then the dances have come and all have been welcomed and relished to the n’th degree. Probably the largest dance of the year was the one following the downfall of the Owls on the gridiron. The Aggies seemed bent on celebrating and the Riceites on drowning their sorrow. The old annex was loaded to its full capacity and yet there is always room for one more. A mad rush ensued at eleven o’clock when the social secretary announced a few minutes intermission to allow a light lunch to be served. At twelve the Rice visitors announced that never had they en¬ joyed themselves more. I ' cige 265 Thanksgiving Hop COMMITTEES A rrangements H. D. Duckett, Chairman J. C. Boyce A. I.

Again were the Aggies forced homeward with long faces and heavy hearts. tminc that 1 to wend their way The special trains that bore so many bright¬ faced, happy cadets to Austin on the morning of November 27th, wound their way back to Aggie- land amid silence and gloom. The Longhorns had dedicated their stadium. By far the largest part of the school returned to their homes for a few days to live over the game in solitude, but a few returned to college bent on forgetting the disaster in other ways. And it was easy to do. The celebrations which the corps always gives in honor of their team, whether it wins or loses, gave a splendid opportunity for everyone to give vent to his feelings. From all over the state the crowd gathered to pay honor to the Aggie football heroes. Many of the girls from our rival institutions came back to Aggieland with us to help us in this aim. And help they did. No one on the floor failed to have a good time. When Jack Gardner and his famous jazz team from Dallas started in, no one could keep still. Men and women who had not danced for years, could not resist the temptation of such inviting strains, and so added their strength to the worshipers of Terpsichore. When plans for the dance were being laid, there was much surmising as to who would lead the grand march. No one was kept in doubt for long tho, for when Jack began to render the grand march processional, Louie Miller, our own Louie, crutches and all, stepped forth from the side line and took his place at the head of the column. At his side was Miss Virginia Allen of Houston, who has helped him thru so much of his trouble. Tears momentarily came into every¬ one’s eyes, and a hard lump rose in every throat when the throng saw the gamest man at A. and M. take his place as leader of the dance in spite of his injury. Then a burst of hand clapping followed that would have proved to a deaf man what a tender feeling the entire state bears for our disabled captain. One could not but hear the whispers: “Yesterday would have had a dif¬ ferent ending if Louie had been in there,” and, “That broken leg surely broke our back,” and the like. But it was only for a minute that our minds reverted to the day before, for Louie and Miss Allen, followed by coaches Bible and Rothgeb, were leading the procession down the floor. After stubbing around the floor, keeping time with his crutches, the cripple regained his seat and Jack struck up a fast fox-trot. The dance was on. Backward and forward over the wide reaches of Sbisa’s culinary domicile, the entranced couples moved. Overhead streamers of black and orange, representing the Thanksgiving motif, hung from the lights. Shocks of golden brown maize were placed at intervals around the hall, on which the lettered cards, standing for the first letter in each girl’s name, were placed. At one end of the hall, the brown check room and lady’s dressing-room carrie d out the Autumnal idea. The intertwining vines at the other end of the hall appropriately set it off as a secluded retreat for those grown weary of the fun. Strange to say, the merry-makers were conspicuous for their absence in this quarter. At twelve o’clock a temporary halt was called and the visitors partook of a light repast in the annex while several other parties retired to private homes to gain strength for the ensuing fray. On returning each participant was given a cap, a horn, serpentine and confetti, and from that moment until two, the time flew. But everything has to come to an end, and tho for ten minutes after the last strains of music sounded, no one believed the dance to be over, eventually the last sound of laughter had died, and the scene of the mighty struggle was shrouded in gloom.

V. Hop of the most colorful and magnificent affairs of our college year is the R. V. Hop. This grand occasion occurs once a year, during the spring time, when all are happy and gay. The magic associations of the Hop, its subtle play of light and shadows, the tenderness of its high, hearted gaiety; how may we speak of these things? We are simply and whole-heartedly happy- April 16th, 17th and 18th were named as the R. V. holidays this year. The magnificent and elaborate Queen’s Ball is the opening affair of the annual spring festivities. On that night, His Royal Highness, the king, crowns his beautiful Queen, and proceeds to hold sway over the happy throng. For years the coronation of the Queen has been an inspiring event, but none have surpassed the coronation of Queen Margaret of the house of Routt by King Jack of the house of Finks. A brilliant escort formed the background for the coronation ceremonies with the attending courtiers furnishing the proper atmosphere. But then the King and Queen, in true democratic style, stepped from their throne, and dancing was in order for the evening. The merrymakers returned the following night to the “land of make believe,” this time to join in the famed R. V. Hop. The courtiers of the preceding evening lost their individuality and became members of that composite organization, the R. V. Company. Captain Dick Quayle, honoring Miss Helen Rulfs, led the Grand March followed by the uniformed men of his company. An informal Corps Dance on Saturday night was a fitting finale to the festivities. The careless abandon of formal restrictions gave unrestrained pleasures to all participants. The plans this year were very elaborate. Japanese decorations furnished the motif for transforming the mess hall into a luxuriously appointed pavillion. Jimmie’s Joys’ famous or¬ chestra poured forth the strains which made heavy feet light, and sad hearts happy. V h m ' 1 THF COURT King Jack Finks Escorts, Sheilds Norwood Dick Quayle .

Washburn Page 270 Tine “T” Club Dance IFN THE spring, after the students have revived from the crushing effects of the semester ex- aminations, social festivities begin to draw their attention. All studying is postponed until the last minute, the art of letter-writing takes precedence over the art of theme writing, and the general tendency of the cadets is to be absorbed by the romantic atmosphere of Spring. The Terpsichorean art, as our most popular social activity, takes a predominant part of the spring events. In breaking the monotony of the winter and in starting the popular dances of the spring, the “T” Club dance is always good. It is the one social function that the “T” Club gives during the year. Only those who have bids presented by the “T” Club are allowed to attend, and then only when escorting a lady friend. By being the most exclusive dance of the year, it becomes one of the most popular dances, and one looked forward to with great anticipation. Held after basketball season and before baseball begins, all of the athletes can attend without breaking the training rules, and it is an ideal time for the letter men to take an active part in the social life at A. and M. College. The decorations were carried out along lines in harmony with the “T” Club. School colors of red and white, the colors that the Aggies carry on the field in athletic contests, were predomi¬ nant. A. and M. pennants and the large “T” blankets were hung profusely on the walls. The Com¬ mittees carried out their work faithfully and very creditably; and the result showed itself in the smoothness and success with which everything went off. Every slight detail was taken care of in order to make this dance the best one ever given by the Club. The programs were novelly made, and were especially attractive by being in the form of the official block “T” awarded to athletes for their efficiency and excellent work on the field. Mr. Duncan was again called upon to re¬ fresh the merry-makers with his enticing midnight lunches. It seemed that even the floor was in the best possible condition, or was it that the spirit of the dance prevailed? The members of the Club this year in particular were deserving of a dance the quality of that which was held last March. Through the untiring efforts of the members of the “T” Club of 1924-’25, the standard of the organization has been raised to a new level. Co-operation with the Business Manager, with the Athletic Department, and with the old “T” men, is now being carried out to a much fuller extent than ever before, and it was only by the faithfulness and en¬ ergy of the members of the “T” Club of 1924-’2o that this was made possible. At this dance, all of the “T” men forgot their work, their victories and their losses, and threw themselves into the gay whirl of the dance as completely as they threw themselves into the bat¬ tles on the field. Many girls that night looked up into the eyes of the stalwart athletes with sighs characteristic of the idol-worshiping fair sex, while the “T” men were very apparently joyous at being with the fairest maids of the South. The flashing tuxedos and the beautiful gowns, to¬ gether with the khaki and shimng Sam Browne belts, made a picture long remembered. And such music! It certainly did justice to the occasion. The rhythm and close harmony that the famous “Aggieland” orchestra got that night was superior to any in the State of Texas. Certain¬ ly the music was of the best quality and kept everyone dancing, which is a phenomenon, indeed. From the beginning of the grand march until “Home, Sweet Home,” the time fairly flew. No one could realize that the dance was over, but it was necessary to rest up for the corps dance the following night, which was controlled by the “T” Club, but which was carried out on the policy of all other corps dances; everyone was invited. Yet when the athletes and friends left the dance on Friday night, they regretted that the “T” Club dance for the spring of 1925 was over. Page 271 Rodeo Ringmaster OFFICERS J. G.

Since -W— it comes in the heart of the football season, it has been a minor event. This casual attitude toward an important factor is being lessened from year to year, and in the future much interest is expected to be manifested in making this one of the chief social functions and sources of thrills, of the season. The pageant is always characterized by its poise, grace, artistic decorations, and exquisite beauty. The members of the rodeo staff, this year, were fortunate in securing the willing and untiring efforts of Mrs. E. J. Kyle and Mrs. Erwin Astin, who so capably conducted the pageant activities. The appropriateness of the occasion can not be overlooked. On the eve of Armistice Day, the court, representing nineteen different nations, entered the Animal Husbandry Arena led by Miss Myrtle Astin as Miss America and escorted by Colonel Frank Stubbs. In order to stimulate interest in the decorating of the many floats, judges announced the most artistically decorated and most representative float. This distinction went to Miss Dorothy Ettle of Bryan, who represented Italy. Mrs. R. L. Ware must be congratulated on the way she conducted her dancing class. The dance of nations was something new to us, but it will not soon be forgotten. As the band played a catchy tune, the jolly brigade marked up several fantastical steps which were true to the form of some of the countries represented. A sudden halt followed by a shrill cry brought the wonder¬ ing crowd to its senses, and they watched the followers of Terpsichore disappear among the queens and duchesses of the court. Event number three was a sudden change. The usual parade of the College’s livestock was accepted as a minor part of the rodeo proper. This, in reality, should be one of the main events of the evening, for it is with these animals that the Seniors of the stock-judging team work, and prepare themselves for their final contest at Chicago. Everyone likes a thrill. Many thrills were felt as the onlookers watched the wild cow milk¬ ing contest followed in turn by the potato race between the Animal Husbandry Seniors and the Animal Husbandry Professors. These are thrilling events, and no mean degree of courage is required by the participants. It was the intention of the committee in charge to show competitive events. J. Floyd proved his dual ability when he, taken as a “jelly bean,” mounted and rode the man-killing bronco, “Death Call.” At the close of the performance, Floyd was pronounced the best bronco “buster” in the contest. Some three or four years ago a mounted wrestling match was given as part of the rodeo pro¬ gram. It met with the approval of the people, so it was used again this year. There were two teams, one from the West Texas Club, and the other from the Saddle and Sirloin Club. It was a mean scrap throughout but when the final whistle blew, the Saddle and Sirloin team was de¬ clared winner. Miss Geraldine Grout, riding her black horse, McKinney Denmark, was easily the winner of the five-gaited saddle horse class. The entries were: McKinney Denmark—Miss Geraldine Grout; Jerry Harrison—Dr. R. P. Marsteller; Pollyanna —-Mr. George P. Grout;] Patsy Harri¬ son—Mrs. R. P. Marsteller, and Billy Murphy—Mr. D. W. Williams. E. N. (Jack) Kearney demonstrated his natural ability as a clown, and then like a scene shifting from Barnum-Bailey, to the untamed wilds of the west, the steer riding and bronco “bust¬ ing” was off. The momentary Buffalo Bills and Bugger Reds went forth to their Waterloo like true sons of the west. Most of them landed in unshapely heaps, but a few showed their “stuff’’ and received favorable comments. The bronco riding was won by J. Floyd of Midland and the steerjriding was won by G. H. Brown of Fort Worth. Page 273 The Senior Club IC ' OR many years the need of activities to bring the classes closer together has been keenly felt by everyone who has attended Texas A. and M. The Freshman class is united by mutual sympathy, the Sophomore and Junior classes were once cemented by the Junior Banquet, but nothing has ever really been done for the Senior Class in this line until the last year. It was with this idea in mind that the Y. M. C. A. generously offered a large room furnished with pool tables, lounges, victrola, rugs and chairs, on the condition that the Seniors promised that it would be used throughout the year. At a Senior meeting, it was unanimously decided to accept the liberal offer, and officers were selected to take charge of it. In November, the club was formally opened. With the entire Senior class present, the room and its fittings were pre¬ sented by Dr. Bizzell to the class. After the usual thanks, the remainder of the evening was devoted to making the acquaintance of a few of the campus people. Thus was started the Senior Club. It has the hearty good wishes of the entire Senior Class for a long and useful life. It sup¬ plies a much-needed place where Seniors can go and spend a few hours of quiet enjoyment without being disturbed by underclassmen, and furnishes a much-needed medium for the closer acquain¬ tance of A. and M. men during their last year in ole’ Aggieland. Chib Room Page 274 The 192,5 Longhorn A CCORDING to custom, the Longhorn Staff is a group of students chosen to collect pic- tures, illustrations and editorial matter which are representative of the student body and the customs and traditions of the school. This material is compiled and formed into a book, and the result is an attractive and artistic record of the activities of the college during the year. An endeavor has been made to make the 1925 book stand out from previous volumes as an individual work of art and a characteristic representative of the scholastic year. The style of the book has been changed throughout, and new sections have appeared for the first time in a Longhorn. The history of Texas has been used as the theme, and the distinctive color work and editorial matter carries this out very well. One of the features of the book is the complete history of Texas A. and M. The Longhorn is divided into seven sections, each under the supervision of a member of the staff. Keen competition among the staff has caused each section to be developed to the utmost, which makes it difficult to pick the best one but produces an outstanding book on the whole. In March, 1924, the staff began working on the Longhorn, and in one year’s time the last of the material was in to the printer. Throughout this time, by means of hard and continuous work, the staff kept up with their time limits in all of the work, and were able to take advantage of all of the discounts offered for getting the work in on time. In every way economy was prac¬ ticed where it would not interfere with the quality of the book. The 1925 Staff has endeavored to improve the quality of the Longhorn and enable it to reach a place among the annuals of recognized standing in the nation. Every member has worked and co-operated with the other members to produce the best possible book, and the complete annual is the product of the Staff’s best ability.

In December, 1878, two years later, The Texas Collegian, the first of the Col¬ lege’s publications, was issued. This magazine was composed chiefly of literary articles, and was issued monthly by the two literary societies. T. A. Fuller of Paris, Texas, was editor and Charles Rogan of Austin, business manager. In November of 1889 the name of this monthly publication was changed from the Texas Collegian to the College Journal, which was published by the Austin and Calliopean Literary Societies, and maintained the same high literary standards of its predecessor. This paper was edited by John S. Radford, A. E. Wangerman being business manager. In October, 1893, the name of the magazine was changed to The Battalion, which, however, was a change in name only. F. M. Law, a retiring member of the present Board of Directors, was editor of the first issue of The Battalion. Thirty-five years have passed, and the College’s publication is still known as The Battalion. Since this name is symbolic of the military training of the College, it is unlikely that it will be changed in the near future. The Battalion of today is published weekly by the students of the institution. At the close of each scholastic year an editor and business manager are elected by the student body. Any member of the Junior Class is eligible for the offices. The Battalion has a difficult position to fill. It serves not only as a newspaper, but as a humorous and literary publication. To more adequately fulfill the literary and humorous needs, and to discover men of ability for the succeeding regular staff, there are usually six special edi¬ tions published by staffs elected for the purpose. These special issues, which are distributed throughout the spring term, are modeled after the humorous magazines which are essential to practically all large colleges and universities. To keep pace with the rapid growth of the College it is inevitable that the now complex nature of the Battalion will be subdivided into a daily and a monthly publication. This, how¬ ever, will come when a comprehensive course in journalism is offered and credit for work on stu¬ dent publications is given towards a degree. J. E. Finks S. A.

Bell ' jnjRECEDENTS once established are hard to break away from, so the Long- horn Staff deemed it necessary to stimulate competition amongst the Class Battalion Staffs by offering a prize of a page in the annual this year for the prize class edition of the preceding year. Whether this incentive or the natural pride of the various editors was the cause of the strong competition last year is difficult to say, but every special edition of The Battalion was a masterpiece of journalism. But to the Junior Class goes the honor of having the most representative paper and to that staff was awarded this special page. The judges of the contest found the Junior Battalion to be one that any class could boast of, a humorous edition that reflects credit upon the editors. THE LONGHORN STAFF. J. E. Finks S. A.

A. is a part, and no small part, of this A. and M. College service machinery. From the first floor to the fourth the Y building is of greatest benefit to the students. The basement, with its barber shop, pool hall, confectionery and swimming pool are indispensable. The lobby, for the first time, has been made into some¬ thing of which the students can be proud. It cost considerable money to put in upholstered settees, upholstered chairs, new tables and chairs, pictures and an Ampico Piano; but it was money well spent. The large numbers who constantly use the lobby testify to the wisdom of it. From the Seniors’ standpoint, the Seniors’ Club Room on the fourth floor is the best part of the Y building. This large room, thirty by seventy feet, has been furnished with upholstered furniture, game and pool tables, and is used exclusively by the Senior students. The staff of the Y is composed of General Secretary W. H. Mathews and four associate secretaries, S. H. Hickman, J. R. McKee, Newt Jones, L. Greer and Johnny Pierce, assisted by twenty-five cabinet men selected from the student body. All of these men are actively interested in the physical, mental, financial, moral and spiritual welfare of every student. The Y. M. C. A. is planning larger and better things for the coming year. The Y will welcome any and all suggestions and constructive criticisms. Its one ambition is ‘‘to do all the good it can, to all the people it can, in every way it can.” Call on them and you will find a friend. Page 283 1 , V International Livestock Judging Team. TTN September, when Coach Stangel issued his call for men wishing to try out for the Inter- JL national Team, nineteen Seniors responded. After six weeks of hard work this number was cut down to twelve men, and at this time the real work began for Mr. Stangel, for from these twelve men he had to pick six to represent the “Aggies” at Kansas City and Chicago. After four more weeks of strenuous practices and contests among these twelve the following men were named as members of the team: Dahlberg, F. I.; Dodson, L.; Johnson, C. B.; Kimball, O. H.; Matern, C. G., and Stubbs, F. M. The team left Thursday, November the 13th, for the contest at the American Royal Exposi¬ tion in Kansas City, and for further two weeks training before reaching Chicago. The contest at Kansas City on the 15th of November was entered by twelve other teams. The contest was very close, and not until the last minute was any team certain of victory. The results were that Kansas State Agricultural College won first honors as a team, Texas taking eighth, but Matern carried off honors that day for Texas in that he was individual high point man of the entire contest with a score of 925 out of 1,000. This defeat did not daunt the spirit of the Aggies, and the week following the contest was spent in judging the fine stock at the American Royal Show and the visiting of some of the very prominent stock farms about Kansas City. Between the 20 th, when the team left Kansas City, and the 29th, when they arrived in Chicago, the time was spent in judging livestock and visiting farms at Ames, Iowa; Ogden, Iowa; Wayne, Illinois, and Madison, Wisconsin. After visiting the Shropshire Sheep Farm at Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, the team left Madison on the 28th for Chicago where the International Contest was held the next day. The Aggie team entered the contest on the 29th with high hopes of winning the much sought for Bronze Bull for the third and last time, but twenty-three other teams were there with the same purpose—some to win it for the first time, some for the second, and some like ourselves, hoping to get permanent possession of it. Due to an off-day, the hopes of the Aggies did not materialize, but they made a very creditable showing against the other teams. Back row — F. I. Dahlberg, F. M. Stubbs, C. G.

Kimball Page 284 National Dairy Judging Team THEN Coach Darnell made the call in September for men to try out for the National Vv Dairy Judging Team, he was answered by the most determined group of young men that has ever assembled to compete for a place on a team to represent A. and M. College. Preparation for this team had been going on under the supervision of Professors Grout and Darnell since September of 1923. Much valuable work was done at Dallas, at Waco Cotton Palace, Rainbow Farms, Waco, and at the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show. When the candidates assembled in September th ey spent a week of intensive wmrk judging the animals from the Col¬ lege herd. On September 11th six men and Coach Darnell started on the greatest trip that an A. and M. judging team has ever been on, traveling over 4,000 miles of the most prosperous dairy sections of the United States. Before entering the National Dairy Cattle Congress Contest, which was held at Waterloo, Iowa, the team visited the famous Marsh Guernsey Herd and Hugh Van Pelt’s prize-winning Jersey herd. We are told that Napoleon met his defeat at Waterloo, but for once history did not repeat itself for A. and M. College. Great was the joy when the results of the contest were announced at a banquet given in honor of the teams. Texas won first in Jerseys, in competition with twelve other teams from as many states, the prize being a beautiful loving cup. Texas was also third in Holsteins and fifth in Ayrshires. Members of the team were: Guy Powell, W. B. Orr, T. T. Grout and R. W. Wilson. Powell was high-point man on the A. and M. team, and third in the contest in Jerseys. Orr and Grout placed well up, while Wilson was alternate. Now all the attention was directed toward Milwaukee, the location of the National Dairy Show. Coach Darnell took his boys to Chicago, and the boys were convinced that if the world is as big every way as it is that way, it is a whopper. On a visit to the Chicago Guernsey farm the team worked with cattle that sold two weeks later for an average of one thousand dollars a head. The following men were selected to represent Texas A. and M. at the greatest Dairy Show in the world: W. B. Orr, T. T. Grout, Guy Powell, with W. A. Wurzbach as alternate. In passing, tribute must be paid to Joe Maloney, J. F. Grace and D. B. Baxt, who did not make the trip. Along with these men must be remembered R. W. Wilson and L. S. Moore, who made the trip but did not qualify for the team. Powell Wurzbach Grout Orr Coach Darnell Page 285 Former Students Association j NE of the fundamental roles which the Association of Former Students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas hopes to play is that of “big brother’’ to the cadet corps of the College. The Association hopes through its officers and through its College Station head- quarters to help the cadets over their every problem. In addition to the activities at the College, the Association has a number of other worth¬ while objectives which justify the existence of this organization. It contemplates serving the College as an offensive and defensive agency, assisting the institution in its every battle, whether legislative, athletic or what not. It hopes to assist materially in the legislative work at Austin, seeking adequate maintenance of the College and the enactment of judicious laws with reference to the College, its activities, and its relationships. By helping to put Aggies in touch with positions to their liking, the Association plans to lift many square pegs out of round holes. The keeping of records and addresses of old A. and M. men is another function, and before the year elapses it is hoped that at least ten thousand of the fifteen thousand former A. and M. men will be in touch constantly with the Association. The publication, THE TEXAS AGGIE, the semi-monthly official organ of the Association, which is a newspaper devoted to the news of the activities of ex-students of the College, is another function. The Directory of the Former Students is another publication which is helpful. In a word, the organization aspires to render helpful service to the College, its present-day students, and its former students. C. C. Krueger, president of the San Antonio Machine and Suppy Company, is president. Luke L. Ballard, of Waco, M. J. Miller, of Fort Worth, and Don Lee, of Dallas, are vice-presidents. Ike Ashburn is executive secretary. The Association offices are on the first fioor of the Civil Engineering building. C. C. Krueger Ike Ashburn Page 286 The Forensic Club npHE Forensic Club, an outgrowth of the debating society, and now in its infancy, was or- Ji. ganized for the purpose of giving its members practice in parliamentary procedure, extempo¬ raneous speaking and also for the purpose of building up a tradition and an organization which will create greater interest in voluntary work of this nature. Its immediate object is to develop a debating team which will represent the Agricultural and Mechanical College in intercollegiate debates. The membership in the Forensic Club is limited to fifteen active members. New members are admitted to the club upon approval of the members of the society. Before a student can become a member of the club he must present a written application certifying that he desires to do active work in the club. Also this application must be signed by two active members. For many years forensic work has been neglected at A. and M., but last year marked a new era for the school in work of this kind. The people of the college became aware of the fact that “The Old A. and M. spirit” could be utilized in other fields than athletics, when the Debating Society accepted a challenge for a debate with the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Col¬ lege. Our team, which was composed of G. D. Holland and S. L. Fitzhugh, won a glorious vic¬ tory over Oklahoma on the subject: Resolved, That the United States join the League of Nations. Texas A. and M. upheld the negative side of the question. A large part of the success was due to the untiring efforts of Dr. Summey, who coached the team with unfailing enthusiasm. Holland graduated with the class of ’23 and Fitzhugh did not return to college this year, so this year’s team will be picked from men with high school experience only. In spite of this handicap the members are determined to give an even better account of themselves this year. Just re¬ cently the club has been granted the privilege of a technical society. The program for the year includes a return debate with Oklahoma, in addition to which a debate with Kansas is contemplated. The new instructor in public speaking, Mr. Owen, is working with the club this year. Mr. Owen is a graduate from Cornell and is well qualified to put out a winning team. Page 287 Our Waco Trip ID EVEILLE at four A. M.;but before first call had finished sounding, rooms were lighting up JlV all over the campus, and boys were “hollering” “On to Waco!” Breakfast was over in a hurry, and everyone was busy locating their suitcases, tickets and fish. The next bugle call found the corps on the Military Walk, dressed in number ones, and “rarin’ ” to go. The rising sun saw A. and M. riding in and on special trains, and already well beyond Hearne. Excitement ran high as the cadets scrambled off the trains in Waco and lined up for the pa¬ rade. The first trainload had a while to wait before the rest arrived, but all of this time was well spent. Some fellow would see a girl that he knew, and immediately a squad of khaki would surround her. Then an old boy who used to be whistle sergeant in 1492 would happen along, and everybody would slap everybody else on the back and say: “Howza boy?” “What’cha doin’?” “Seen Slim?” “What—married?” A top-kick rushed in a drug store and made arrangements over a wire: “To the right of the main entrance, right after the game,” he said. Oh, it was great! Maroon and White, Green and Gold; colors were everywhere. The band arrived and the parade started. Two thousand men marched through Waco. Eyes front, rifles dressed, they marched along. The crowd applauded and shouted at their friends. “Hello, Sy,” said some small voice, but Sy did not “hello.” After “eyes right” at the reviewing stand, the crowd thinned and route step was given. Rifles drooped, caps came off, and men talked. “Are they Bears?” The corps laughed and decided they were. The rifles were stacked in the Cotton Palace Grounds, and the cadets allowed to roam. The exhibition drill by the freshmen was perfect, and the grandstand became very enthusiastic over it. The football game followed, A. and M. against Baylor. A great game. The corps yelled and cried, the band played, and the team fought. “Where the goal ahead is an endless fight Through a sunless day and a starless night, You have reached the test in a frame of mind Where only the quitters remain behind.” None remained behind. A. and M. was together to the last man. Assembly at the Cotton Palace grounds was blown at eleven. Rifles were shouldered, and the march back to the trains started. Entrainment was finished by twelve, and the weary journey back to College began. At four the next morning, a crestfallen mob stumbled back to their halls, just twenty-four hours from the time of departure. Each man fell in his bunk and slept like a lord, glad that Waco comes but once a year. Page 288 111 Our Austin Trip ¥T WAS the last clay in November. Old turkey day had arrived. College Station was awake early. First call sounded, companies fell in, breakfast disappeared. They grabbed their grips, locked their doors and ran to the train. When the corps is spread through several trains enroute to Austin, and has the privilege of staying away for four days, you can count on their being in an exuberant and highly joyous mood. This Austin trip was typical. Jinx’s forecasts and why is a doorknob—everything was discussed. “There she goes, Allen,” sang some cadet as a skirt-driven car skidded along the country boule¬ vard. Some of the boys that were dressed in number three seemed tired, but they stayed in the corners with a number one cap and an oeercoat on. When the Capitol rose into view, blouses were buttoned, Sam Brownes tightened, and caps located. The trains backed in and the boys piled out. A. and M. lined up on Congress Avenue. “Pla¬ toons right, march!” The parade started. One, two, three, four. Down the avenue they marched. The boys wondered why the crowd applauded at plain marching, when at school they drilled much more on Thursday morning and no one seemed to care. Past the reviewing stand, column left, and they were dismissed. The Austin Ex-Students had a very happily received hot hand-out ready for the hungry cadets. Coffee and doughnuts, sandwiches and paper, filled the empty places. A fine treat. No one missed the stadium. Everyone seemed to be going in that direction. Why did every man find that his ticket to the game required entrance on the opposite side from where he was? The game was a spectacle. The Aggie T was formed between halves. The last half caused many a sore left knee. And the end—well as the famous cigar manufacturer said, “The best laid plans of Miss and Men aft gang a long way.” When the last whistle blew, the cadets put their arms around each other’s shoulders and marched, singing and yelling, to the Capitol steps, d heir spirit was an eye-opener to many. The real scattering “commenced to begin,” as the Dutchman said. Many went back to College for the famous Thanksgiving Hop. Home and Mother, eats and sleep for the rest. I he old world rolled around again. Thanksgiving had come and gone. Page 289 Student Welfare Committee Dr. W. B. Bizzell . Dean Puryear . Colonel Todd . : Coach D. X. Bible ' . Professor S. W.

Senior Representative Senior Representative Junior Representative Sophomore Representative Freshman Representative HHHK Students’ Welfare Committee has been in existence for several years, but its scope has been limited. This attempt at student government has held a unique position for it has no connection with the military system. Each class is represented in its membership, the Seniors having two members, and the other classes one each. Fac¬ ulty members are appointed by the President of the College, the term of office being one year. Unfortunately, former Student Welfare Committees have accomplished very little, with the result that it has almost been discarded. Upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors, it was revived this year with a definite pur pose, and an incentive to work. Its mission is, as its name implies, to study conditions affecting the welfare of the student body, and to submit recommenda¬ tions to the Faculty for needed improvements. The delay in the organization of the committee each year is caused by the slow move¬ ment of class machinery, so a plan has been devised whereby the committee could function the entire scholastic year. In succeeding years, the term of office of all mem¬ bers, with the exception of the Senior representatives, will expire upon the election or appointment of their successors. The status of the Welfare Committee is not very well defined by college regu¬ lations; each successive committee has therefore made out its own program and car¬ ried it through with varying degrees of success. It has been the purpose this year to have a wide-awake organization which would be of some benefit to the students. The Faculty and student body were very w r ell represented this year, and many notice- able improvements have been made.

All right bricks and eggs, Let’s Go! aJt Page 388 Jl % tit % m 4. ¥T HAS been the purpose of the staff to carry out a plan for a better Longhorn this year. In so doing, the size of the book has been changed, new color schemes have been used, and we have done everything possible to make the book beautiful. The only breach of these plans so far as we can see has been in the dedication. It is true that we could find no better man than Colonel Todd to dedicate the book to. He is a man respected by every member of the student body, and he is worthy of this honor. But Colonel Todd is not handsome, he has lost his schoolboy com¬ plexion, and the skin you love to touch. To offset this breach of plans made by the editor, we have decided to dedi¬ cate the college life section to the seven most handsome men on the campus. Believe me when I say that these men have no drag with us. We took all the pictures made by the College Studio this year and chose twenty of the best. The picking of the best seven was left up to one who is a very competent judge of beauty, and we are greatly indebted to “Photograph Mary” for her aid in these selections. Here we have for your approval the Garden of Roses composed of the seven most handsome men on the hill. —College Life Editor. Page jSp Bail? Pullettn Opus 16 Toddville, Texas, April 16, 1775 No. 13 4-5 LAST CORPS DANCE The last corps dance of the year was given last night. As usual the dance was a complete flop as far as having a good time was concerned. The main trouble with these dances seem to be in the fact that too much liquor is consumed. The noise is terrific and can be heard for several miles on a still night. It seems a shame that the authorities can’t do something to tame these dances down just a trifle. And it is high time that someone is placed in charge of the dance that will eliminate this objectionable feature. At least wild dancing, drunken brawls, insane yelling, and the explosion of fire¬ crackers could be stopped. Some officer should be on duty for the pur¬ pose of putting the drunks off the lloor. GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL VISITS COLLEGE Dr. Epsum, Secretary of Interior, made a brief visit here With the idea of obtaining information regarding certain appropriations to be made in near future for the College. Col.: Is Mr. Duncan drunk? Chef: No, just tight. AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT GREATLY AUGMENTED Ford factory. While working for Mr. Ford he screwed on bolt number 942. A good salesman is one who can buy something from Mr. Duncan and sell it to Cheatum at a profit. COLLEGE STUDENTS TO HEAR DR. HUNKAWHAT, NOTED SAUERKRAUT EXPERT The Department of Veterinary Medicine is responsible for obtaining Dr. Hunkawhat to lecture to the students. This noted manufacturer is the inventor of over 100 varieties of sauerkraut. He has spent over fifty years in research work along these lines, and probably no other one man in the world is as well versed in this art as the Doctor. He is a native of Oshkosh, Wiscon¬ sin, having lived in that center of industrial activity for over seventy- five years. He attended the Uni¬ versity of that state and received his degree in 1876. Dr. Hunkawhat says that “he is going to do bigger and better things in the production of sauerkraut.” COLLEGE BUILDS UP-TO-DATE HOTEL day. This hotel was built by prom¬ inent college officials and is another link in the co-operative chain of which the Community Store and No Change Store are also parts. This beautiful and modern structure will be run at cost and for the benefit of college students and their friends. The new structure is modern in every respect, all rooms being equipped with electric lights and good beds. Ar¬ rangements have been made for the guests of the hotel to take their baths in Beta Hall, ladies’ day being on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday nights. Mr. Whipprect, lately of the Fiscal Department, has been ap¬ pointed as manager of this establish¬ ment and will have direct supervision of the business. While Mr. Whipp¬ rect has had no experience in running hostelries his ability to handle trust funds should enable him to keep the hotel from being an expense to its owners. WATER TOWER IS DAMAGED Last Saturday night some vicious student wilfully shot a hole through the bottom of the College w ' ater tank, causing great loss of valuable sulphur water. The damage was not found to be as great as first thought. The sulphur in the water, after several hours, formed in the hole caused by the bullet and completely stopped the leak. This chemical action prevented the terrific waste of water which would have ensued had the leak not been stopped, and also saved the lives of hundreds of young sparrows that were nesting in the framework of the tank, which otherwise would have drowned. This department has secured the services of Mr. Bolton. This man has had six years’ experience in the Toddle Inn, new three-story brick hotel, has just been completed and will be open for business next Mon¬ Page. 390 Cfje Bail? bulletin Published Seldom—Always Delivered By CHAS. NILCK Subscriber Dan Jackson, Office Boy COLLEGE ZOO IS GREATLY AUGMENTED I.ast Monday night the stork visited the Zoo and brought with him a bouncing baby bear. Air. Issie Jue, headkeeper of the Zoo, stated that the cub had brown eyes and weighed fifteen pounds to the dot. Early Monday morning a faculty meeting was called in order that the cub might be named. After much wrangling as to who should have the honor of naming him, order was finally established and the cub was affectionately named CeCe. All agreed that this was a cute name and well worthy to be bestowed upon the young bruno. A purse was made up so that a sterling-silver collar might be procured for young CeCe. Young CeCe is doing well, as he is under the personal care of the college physician and his corps of assistants. Dr. Kutlow in his hourly bulletin states that young CeCe is growing rapidly on his diet of tuna fish and goat’s milk. The people of Brazos county are very much interested in young CeCe’s development, and hundreds have been in at¬ tendance since his arrival. VET. MEDICS TO GIVE NOVEL SOCIAL. On next Friday afternoon at four P. M., the society of veterinary medi¬ cine will have its monthly social. No expense has been spared in making preparation for the entertainment. Tea will be poured and dainty cakes with the letters V. M. S. worked on them will be served. As a novelty, the club has decided to have two horses and one cow dissected in the course of the affair. This feature of course will be emblematic of the society, and at the same time pro¬ vide much amusement for the young ladies present. A number of the members are having their girls from home down for the occasion. And all other members have dates with local maidens. It will no doubt be one of the most brilliant affairs of season. BAND HAS DOUBLE WEDDING. The double wedding of Mr. Buggus Elliot and Joseph Edwards was a complete surprise to their friends. Air. Elliott will remain in school and receive his degree in June. How¬ ever, Mr. Edwards plans to leave school and accept a position as Professor of Music at the John Tarleton School. He will do this in order to be with his bride who is attending school at that institution. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BULLETIN H. T. C. RAILWAY FOILS CADETS. Highly indignant over the loss of railroad torpedoes taken from the trains passing through College Sta¬ tion the railway officials had dummy torpedoes placed in the torpedo con¬ tainers and as a result college resi¬ dents had one peaceful night. This was quite tricky of the railway com¬ pany, and they deserve much credit for so cleverly turning the tables on the cadets. Mr. Tye, General Super¬ intendent of the road, thought of the idea. COLLEGE PARK HAS MAGNIF¬ ICENT NEW MANSION. C. C. Nitch, well known college tailor, who recently retired from the tailor business, is the owner of the spacious new residence in college park. The home overlooks Clark lake, one of the prettiest bodies of water in this section of the country. For the guidance of those who wish to view this “Home Beautiful,” complete direction may be obtained by calling at the Y desk. COLLEGE TO HAVE ROYAL BLOOD. A formal application for enroll¬ ment in the fall term has been re¬ ceived by the Registrar from His Highness The Duke of Navasota. His Highness is the heir to the Plozabian throne and owner of the famed Nusulaya Castle, one of the world’s greatest architectural achieve¬ ments. The Duke plans to enter college in September, 1925. He will be accompanied by his wife, the Duchess of Sota. The Duke comes to this seat of learning with the in¬ tention of doing research work along the line of least resistance.

That there were 200,000 tooth¬ brushes sold in Jugo Slavia last year. That a great many Bryan girls are conceited. That’s strange when you consider the fact that they have nothing to make them that way. That a good he-goat can eat nine and three-fourth tin cans at one sitting. The amount is somewhat lower for other goats. That just because Plalitosis is a hoof and mouth disease is no reason why a large number of M. E. profs should be shot. That the YMCA is run for the benefit of the student and not for profit as some people think. That is the reason that such good shows are secured for the show in the assembly hall. That the Exchange store is run to save the student money and not for the purpose of enriching prominent faculty members. That the natives of Eastern Ploza- via are very fond of Listerated chew¬ ing gum. That all left-handed men are not preachers. That Gurinsky has secured the concesson to bootleg in the new hotel just completed. Mr. Gurinsky will also have other duties in connection with his regular routine. That “on Wisconsin” is the motto of the Ag. Administration Dept. That, there were 1000 Negro babies born in the U. S. during the fiscal month of June. That dentists in the U.

As it rounded a corner, the wind struck it with increased violence, and swept it off its feet. The figure’s head struck a lamp post, and it became inert. For a while it was the play¬ thing of the storm, and then two more hardy wayfarers stumbled over it in their mad dash. They picked it up and carried it between them to a low dive deep down under the docks. There rough hands stripped the figure of all its valuables and then flung it into a corner. Out of the murky smoke of foul tobacco an old Chinaman, faded and wrin¬ kled, picked his way and tenderly gathered up the seemingly broken and useless hulk and stole with it to his cubby¬ hole. There he applied a centuries’ old craft of healing, dosing with herbs and muttering incantations. He used barrel staves and old ragged clothing to bind the figure’s body back into place. He fed it strange, nourishing mix¬ tures and watched over it as would a mother over a new-born babe. Then the figure began to rave in its pain, and this is what the old Chinaman told me it said: “I see a wondrous thing. I see young men receiving their diplomas from a great institution. I see the mothers, the fathers, the sweethearts, the brothers, the sisters, the uncles, the cousins, the aunts, yea, and even the wives, watch¬ ing with gloriously tear-dimmed eyes a solemn and holy occasion. Then I see these youths, in all the glory of their young manhood, scattering to the four corners of the world, to the seven seas, to the very bowels of the earth, to the highest mountain peaks, to the most fair and fertile plains, and to the lowest and dankest hell-holes of this sphere; and all of them look ever back toward Aggieland. 1 see a man mounted on a swaying black camel leading a motley band of fierce, war-like Arabs in a foray against the great caravans of silks crossing the Arabian desert. As the silks of his gaudy 7 turban blow in the rush of air caused by ' his seed, I glimpse the face of Stephen A. Noble. In another part of the desert there is a rushing sandstorm, one of those terrible siroccos that penetrates the stoutest clothing and cuts the toughest boots. Crouched behind their dead horses close together, and protecting with their bodies a precious jug that had come overland and sea to grace their exile, during a lull of the storm, I see the faces of Gripe Gibson and Lee Gripon. They are watching with a mother’s care a jug of the old time College Station sulphur water. I see a dog team mushing across ice and snow that extends in a limitless expanse as far as the eye can see. I see a musher with a fanatic light burning in his eyes that gleam out from under a hood of mink fur. I see another sled following hard on the first. It, too, is followed by a man with an eager spring to his stride. I see the sleds come to a stop in an Eskimo village. The two men begin to talk and gesticulate wildly. I think—but, no, it is only 7 Claude Mast and Lijah Deupree selling alarm clocks to the Eskimos so they can know when to get up and eat. I see a small town out in the western part of Oklahoma. I see a small shop made of sun-blistered boards with a tar-paper roof. People seem to come to the shop as if drawn by magic; day 7 after day they return and get mysterious, brown paper packages. Every once in so often a large truck rolls up and unloads a cargo previously swathed in large tarpaulins, and over the door hangs a weather-beaten sign, “ Fraps, Butcher.” I see a desk littered with papers, set in an imposing building looking out over a magnificent expanse of green¬ sward upon which many figures gambol at play. The figures run and jump and rise and fall, and rise and run again. There is a man sitting behind the desk with an air of portentous doings about him. He signs a letter with a gran¬ diloquent flourish. I seem to look over his shoulder and see these words: ‘‘G. C. Wolfe, Business Manager Athletics, Prairie View Normal College.” And the figures gamboling about on the green! The figures that were running and falling and rising again. The ebony figures that met with a crash like a ten-ton truck meeting Squatty Jones were under the direction and rasping voice of a tall, driving man. He turned to issue some order, and I saw with a start the face of Cotton Meitzen.” The old Chinaman paused and looked around thirstily 7 . As this was in a town where Volstead was unheard of, I had the refreshments brought up. Thus lubricated, the Chink started off again. ‘‘Man, he say,” again I see this imposing pile of noble buildings reared in a fair land of promise, and in the halls and fields I see many faces that I once knew. There was P. D. Long ruling the destinies of the Y. M. C. A. with an iron hand, and he had as his assistants the right honorable Noisy Hardman and that once promising C. E. Broadus Wendler. Broadus got lots of training running Y’s over in Big Dick Marburger’s B. S. course. And the food down in Sbisa Hall! Every day they had ice cream and cake and T-bone steaks and genuine hot biscuits and quail on tost and the fairest of damsels for waiters and luscious fruits and pungent wines and honest- to-gawd eggs laid by hens and cream of chicken soup and roast duck and pure pork sausage and Virginia ham and jellies and thick, rich gobby cream and lots of cold, sweet milk what ain’t water and--.” Beats of sweat glistened on my brow from my efforts in keeping from bending a chair over a Chink’s head. ‘‘Back of it all there is a man small in stature but large in intellect, a man raised in the game, the Honorable E. Oscar Randolph Whay Belly Buck. I glimpsed the C. E. Department. And lo, many were the changes! Gaboons at each chair, Snappy Stories substituted for Frame Structures, portable electric fans for summer practice and sitting up in Cue Ball’s old office with an important look on his face and three pretty stenos, who should I see but H. De P. Bone? And over Cheatem’s has come a change. No, indeed, now they 7 pay ten prices. And Zoo or Jew (which is it?) Parks and Joe Maloney, they socketh the shekels. Down at the power plant ice was still being produced, but at the rate of only 7 three pounds every 7 two weeks . I gather that since Charles Waugh and Lee Clark took charge. My glance is wandering over many leagues of fertile land and beautiful waters. I see a lonely 7 expanse of sun¬ baked sand, stretching in its limitless yellowishness as far as the eye can see. Right down in the middle of the waste land is a square stone house. A sentry 7 sits in the topmost of the fort and scans the wastes incessantly. A tall, commanding figure in the blue of the French Foreign Legion walks out through the gate. As he leaves I see the weather-beaten countenance of Lieutenant Papa Zim Hunt commanding the loneliest outpost in the Sudan.

The lamps of Broadway are gleaming like a million lightning bugs. I seem to see into the smartest of the night supper clubs, where gilded butter¬ flies, both men and women, while away the time in riotous abandon. And over to one side, surrounded by a bevy of the most beautiful of the season’s debutantes, stands a tall, distinguished-looking, slightly gray-haired man. He favors some lucky bud with a smile and she melts into his arms with a look of contempt at her less fortunate sisters. They drift away in a visible rhythm of the dance, and while in a pirouette of surpassing grace, I glimpse the handsome features of Daddy Wright. Outside the gilded portals a line of taxicabs aw aits. Here and there is a courtly limousine, and down at one end of the line, in a sheltered doorway, a dim group of figures huddles together. Low voices seem to be imploring somebody to come on and “pay out! Shoot four bits.” By the dim light of a flashlight I saw the face of Ben Banks underneath a Yellow Cabman’s cap and Harry Duckett in a spick and span livery belonging to a Buick. My spirit journeyed to Coney Island and the man who took my fare on the subway was none other than Monk Underwood. Wandering down the midway, I seemed to hear a raucous well-remembered voice extolling the benefits to be derived from seeing “the world’s greatest galaxy of freaks, both animal and man, dead and alive, ever assembled on this earth, I thank you.” Closer examination disclosed the handsome physiognomy of Cyrus Edwards—he of the leather lungs—acting as barker and ballyhoo man. I heard that Dave Baxt, Wade Guion and Goofy Williams and Bubb Rudd and Wiggle-head Kerr and Shook of the E. E.’s and Henry Bell and Chee Schwab were inside. Back on Manhattan Island again I saw a yawning pit in the raw earth where men worked like ants, so small did they seem. And presiding over it all, all dressed up in boots and flannel shirt opened at the collar, was Mr. Pat Arnim, architect. I see twin lines of steel glistening through limitless expanses of snow and ice where even that passionate papa Scatter Carlton might lose his heat. I see a lonely, little red-painted structure set down on it like a cherry in a marsh¬ mallow sundae. A sign barely discernible over the door says: “Superintendovitch.” Inside I see a person whose countenance is so befogged by voluble whiskers, but he parts the foliage to drown a rat, and I see that it is none other than Asa C. Wright. Said the ancient Chinaman, “Fierce are the bandits of my northern Mongolian home, but the fiercest of them all is the one the man I nursed described. Said he: T see a man with a fierce, burning visage and long, flowing mus¬ taches, an d so on. He turns to call his fierce compatriots, and I see the gleaming countenance of the ancient captain of the band, Arthur W. Huff. Down further in China is a place called Shanghai, one of the treaty ports notorious for its toughness. There I saw a kindly benevolent man doing his best to make Shanghai a better place to live in. Connected with the Y., he was in the role of Boys’ Work Secretary. Thus had Charles Milo Abercrombie found his place. And on the other side of the Pacific, down below the equator in a modern and well-equipped shop in the heart of Antofogasta Chile, was Frog Holder, happy in his monopoly of the shoe-repairing business of the trusting Chileans. I see an island, a low-lying, palm-fringed land of earthly paradise, where dusky maidens of beaten bronze dance and luscious and tempting fruits are in arm’s reach. I see a pretentious building set in a beautiful glade in the center of this land of plenty. And in this building are sumptuous rooms, fitted out in true kingly style, and in the throne room I see two men. They are crowned with crowns and shot with hob-nails. In the hand of each there is a sceptre made of polished ebony, inlaid with special delivery stamps and E. E. terms. There they sit, the joint kings of the island they discovered during their service in the leather-necks, Tommie Black and E. I. Bailey. Back to Europe flits my fleeting glance, and it comes to rest on the famous winter playground of St. Moritz, in the Alps. Here, where all the real high society of the world congregates, I spied a modest little shop. Modest in size only, for the pretentiousness of its fittings showed it to be more than prosperous. I looked and saw, and looked again, for here was Vade Forester selling electric footwarmers to the frost-bitten tourists. Down on the coast of France there is a port called La Havre. And out of this port sailed many gray-hounds of the deep. Lofty, mobile ships they are, with their cargo of precious things, beautiful women and titled men. And out of this port, also, come little disreputable rusty packets, held together by the grace of God and the luck of the seas. On the bridge of a wallowing one-stack tramp, with the word “Captain” sprawled across his cap, I see Pop Turman, navigator. It is Derby Day in England. That doesn’t mean all the people wear derbies that day, but they have a big hoss race. The horses are beginning to come out. Up rises a man with a silver trumpet in his hand, and lo, the pealing notes come forth. It is Soupy Woods, now the trumpeter of the race-course. The magnificent specimens of the beau¬ tiful horse flesh that are soon to match their bone and sinew are stepping daintily over the turf. And on the quarter¬ deck of the leader of the procession is that one-time pride of the cavalry, Demmy Cox. Back in the United States, I see a great concourse of people held in a spell by the magic voice of one who works for the betterment of their souls. Inspired and fervent are his utterances, and no evil can hold against them. I look closer and see the impassioned countenance of one Red Barnes, now known as the Boy Evangelist from Texas. He is closing his revival meeting in Reno. Again I am drawn back to College Station as if by a magnet. This time the first thing I see is the editorial sanc¬ tum of that great metropolitan daily, “The Daily Bulletin.” Sitting at the desk of ye editor is one Mr. Jack Finks. And in the columns of this marvelous giant of the newspaper world is something that shows its true cosmopoli¬ tanism. It is nothing but a matrimonial bureau, conducted by those true connoisseurs of all that is beautiful in the feminine, Dime Dealy and Paul Washburn, but the effect it has on the lives of the students is tremendous. And Wipprecht’s old place of business! What a wonderful change I see there. All this is changed. Under the wise and able direction of Dago Menke, one finds the fiscal department a t hing of beauty and a joy forever. {Continued on page 405) Page 404 tyiti i v Mr. X {Continued from page 404) The duty of putting up the chains on the military walk to keep Todd’s army from being carried away piecemeal in Ford cars has been taken from the over-worked sergeant majors and placed in the capable hands of one Griffith. Sad, sad to relate, the passing of Uncle Dan Jackson has at last come about. But I heard that his sceptre of olfice had fallen into hands well fitted to carry on his noble work, namely, those of Wofford Lowell Gurinsky, the pride of Gonzales. Again does my vision flit away from the place where men are men to a great textile mill in South Carolina. There I se e many wondrous things in the art of cloth-making, such as could come only from the master mind of Moco King and R. O. Cox. I again see New York, that happy hunting ground of he who seeks the toothsome sucker, but some there are who seek not the sucker, but instead are honest, hard-working, ambitious young men. I see a great new building syndi¬ cate being organized by three of the above-mentioned type of young men. And, indeed, their plan is a worthy one. Instead of building on the ground, they plan to hang a sky scraper from the clouds by a marvelous sky hook, de¬ signed by Archie Damon. And associated with him in this laudable enterprise are Blum Hester and R. J. Werner. Up a small side-street in the little village of Kalamazoo, I see a modest office wherein holds forth a young dentist specializing in false teeth and bridge work. The sign he displays reads: “Dr. C. Matern, D. D. S.” Associated with him in the bridge work is Mr. A. I. Richardson, C. E. High up in an office building in Maunch Chunk, I see a person slitting open envelopes with a hasty ; expectant air. Looking closer, I see that it is Spark Plug Craig collecting himself a fortune by getting a dollar apiece from a million people. Out in San Francisco they still run the well-known rubber-neck wagon to show the trusting tourist the wonders of China Town, and the Gold Coast and the Embarcadero and Market Street. Naturally, each wagon has a leather- lunged barker to extol the beauties of the scenery. Prominent among the barking fraternity is one H. F. Goodenough and the esteemed Smoky Goss. And up in a dark, dim alley in this same San Francisco I did see a disreputable door. But the path of this door was well beaten and muchly traveled. Inside the door one saw only a blank room. But if one would only give the prescribed knock, a panel would slide back, and the golden-topped head of Heber Allen would inquire just how many quarts were needed. And soon the visitor would fade away, bearing with him quantities of the famous peanut whis¬ key. Ever and anon, my wayward glance is brought back to College Station. This time it stops on the south wing of the Y., where holds forth the barberitch shop. But now it is barberitch Jim no longer, but barberitch Dick who puts out the barberitch on Monday mornings, for Dick Quayle has at last come into his own. And over in the Chemistry Building! The Ch E’s are spending all their time trying out new, safe, simple and quick methods of coaxing up the demon alcohol. All this under the beneficent guidance of Smiley Leuschner, now head of the Chem Department. Truly golden are the notes of the band now. Only a musician of ability of that Saxophone Virtuoso, Jack Led¬ better, could direct the band as he now does it. I hear rumors that are dark and devious about a new instructor in the architectural department. It seems that he entertains almost nightly with wild, fantastic parties which stop literally at nothing in that great road house, Dew T Drop Inn. Naturally, this young man is in great demand by the ladies of Bryan on account of his social re¬ nown. Who else could it be but Chin Anderson? One of the things that makes the Inn so famous is its wonderful string orchestra under the able leadership of Cow Turney. I see a great business over in the neighborning city of Bryan, the little New York of central Texas, where the bright lights burn on Sunday nights. Many, many are the people employed in this grand Chevrolet agency presided over by Lou Dodson himself. Once again my unruly gaze strays afar off. Over countless leagues of deep water it flies till it rests on far Australia. Deep in the heart of this Land, in the Never, Never Country, it rests on a moving, white blotch which proves to be an enormous flock of sheep presided over by Skeeter Johnson. And over the nearest range of hills is still another flock of serge shirts on the hoof, whose destinies are governed by Mr. Ike Dahlberg. On up to the north of Australia, there is a country called India. The Boston Bloomer Girls are making a road tour of Masulipatan, Puri, Burdwan, Dacca, Munjpur, Grandava, Jodhpor, Surat, Nagpur, Arungabad and Nili- corin. Their kind and benevolent playing manager is that stepping first-sacker Pud Johnson. Back flies my gaze to the good old U. S. again. And down to San Antonio, the ideal place to spend your summer vacation, and there superintending the construction of a reinforced mud dam across the San Antonio River is Byron Bird’s disciple, Bob Colglazier. Gone again! In northern Siberia close to the little town of Berhoyansk, I saw a familiar figure, directing the spudding in of a new oil well through the ice and snow. He ' was muffled up in furs so that he resembled nothing so much as a great big bear, but enough of his face was visible to recognize the mug of Molly Harper. It seems that he has undertaken this work under the sanction and advice of Hamburger John Kindle, the eminent geologist. Fai back in the wilds of Korea, I saw a little hut standing apart from the native shacks. And from this hut issued the sounds of earnest pleadings. Some missionary, thought I, trying to convert some poor heathen to a bet- {Continued on page 412) Page 405 • IBS amuuaamam gmmam tvm ' ■, a ■ C 1 O r or e . A; ‘ OS ' ' rk-r -.■ ' .4 ■H I f? ' ■ W«rV« r- cv; v- ' V- ' .V Cc J ’ :-v : ;� ' u : - : ! Mr. X {Continued from page 405) ter life. I was right about the missionary, in the person of Dewitt Creveling, but what he is trying to do is to get the native to tell him what has become of his last bottle of gin. There is a little town in Oregon called Conshohocken. And like all little towns this one has its dressmaker and incidentally town sheik. For this dressmaker was a man. His shop was a marvel to behold. How LeMay, the modiste, ever manages to create the gowns he does out of the welter of cloth and clothes and junk that resembles nothing so much as the prevalent condition of Sleepy Lyons’ room, is one of the unsolved mysteries. In this same little town there is a dancing master whose fame has penetrated far beyond the town itself, yea, even as far as the next county. His sprightly classes are always attended by the elect and distinguished of the county and city, and always after the lesson Jack Rabbit gives an exhibition. Why so many Aggies should be here I can not tell, unless it is the sulphur water which makes them feel at home, but another one, Itch Dunn, runs the town bowling alley and pool hall. Down in Texas there is a town called Teague. Naturally, Teague being an up-to-date city, it has traffic cops, and ihe traffic cop directing the heavy traffic up and down Main Street is none other than Sand Blower Lambert, and when it gets wet and the black mud oozes up between his bare little tootsy-wootsies, oh what a beautiful sight! The next thing I see is a most peculiar sight. Why a beautiful summer resort should be put in the middle of a large cornfield is more than I can understand, but there it is, and there is Sergeant Cody McNeel playing proprietor. Up in Kansas I see a traveling carnival, and in this carnival is a shooting gallery. Besides the regular profits accruing to them, the dual proprietors have a slick con game. One of ' em circulates out in the crowd, and when he sees an old country boy that looks like he could shoot, he and the one behind the counter rib him into a big contest. Naturally, the combine usually wins. Guthrie and Galbraith say they are figuring on retiring after another year or so.” The Chinaman paused, took a long breath, a deep drink, and started again. “Man, he say, T see a train puffing up a steep grade in the high Sierras with a long drag behind it. It seems to be all the two engines on it can do to barely keep the wheels moving. The toiling figures down on the cab floors are throwing in the coal till the sleeves on their shirts are split. Their faces are black with coal dust, streaked here and there with running rivulets of sweat which cut miniature canyons through the dust. They pause simultaneously to lower the ice water in their kegs ’bout three inches, and hang out the side. Pat Hallaran looked at Mo Gipps and Mo looked at Pat, and back they went to firing their moguls. I see a great concourse of people gathered around a flying field in the northern part of Arkansas. Resplendent uniforms vie with beautiful gowns to catch the eye of the beholder. And out of the middle of the field sit three glorious examples of the airman ' s art. Their clock-like motors are running with a sound like a kitten’s purr. They shine as did Bevo Bartholomew’s boots that night in Waco. Painted on the sides of the fuselage are these words, “Around Mars Flight.” And who is this intelligent looking personage that is making a last inspection of his plane? J. K. Gibson, of course, and the other two are being looked over by those two exponents of the 99 % air and 1 % serv¬ ice Air Service, Bouncer Rawlins and Val Valentine. I hear that a man in Wortham is doing the farmers of the country more good than all the legislators and secre- tariesand senators put together. It seems that this man of genius is directing a monumental enterprise whereby farm¬ ers save millions annually. He goes all over the field and buys up all the dry holes, has them cut into suitable lengths, and ships them to the farmers to be used as post holes. Certainly, it is handsome Hansel Beckworth, economist- extraordinary. His chief hole inspector is Jack Hayes, while Chuck Norwood and Army Hiatt are his traveling repre¬ sentatives. I see a party of C. E.’s surveying a line across the highest part of the Himalaya mountains so that electricity may be carried to enlighten the natives. This party has a most peculiar rod. Instead of being made of wood and iron, it is of human flesh. I seem to see through a transit, and out of the painted red and white lines on his figure looms the unmistakable countenance of Shorty Flowers. The axman for this party is Sandblower As hworth whom they had carried off from his fair one by main force. Homer Hunter is the instrument man, and Doc Schmid is the camp cook. Far, far to the south of them in a country of blistering heat and burning sands is a small party measuring the Dead Sea to see how r long its been dead. A. Y. Gunter and Country Wehrman are supposed to be doing the work, but Country is taking lessons from an Arab Sheik on the side, so Gunter has most of the work to do. Back again in the United States I see a table set up in a vacant store front, and a man behind this table demon¬ strating and selling a fountain pen which he claims will never run dry, never leak, and always write like a master penman, and all for only 39p£c. Frank Stubbs is the demon penman. Right around the corner there is a great furniture store. And in this furniture store are many, many beauteous results of the cabinet-maker’s skill. And other things have they, too, notably a fine collection of mattresses. Their mattress business is largely due to the noble efforts of one Sleepy Hodge, employed as head mattress demonstrator. Over in Cuba, where the rum flows free, I see a handsome mahogany bar over which has passed more than one drink to save the life of a thirsty wanderer from the Volstead regions. Behind this bar all suited up in spotless white and handling the crystal glasses and mixing delicious concoctions with a dexterity born of long practice is Sot Frey. Standing on the other side cutting the salt out of their throats with fiery liquors, are two successful chewing-gum sales¬ men, Staley Mims and Deafy Dick Lewis. Up the street conies marching a platoon of the Salvation Army, bent on combat with the forces of wickedness. The corporal of the red lantern squad is a former architect, Gus Kruger, and the beater of the bass drum is one Swede Jacobson, recently converted. {Continued on page 413) Pa e 412 ■ illlfClK = Mr. X (Continued from page 412) It is the year of the Olympic games and many are the athletes gathered for trials of strength and scale. A fig¬ ure that scarce can I recognize lopes out on the cinder path. Then he puts on a burst of speed and thousands strain their necks to watch. Fluttering from his back is the number 1313. On the program I see “1313—J. V. Forgason, Haiti.” But he is a mere ghost of his former self, weighing only 203 ) i pounds. It seems he got his phenomenal speed by running from a Franklin car. On a car card in a street car in Weehawken I see a collar ad. Truly handsome is the physiognomy that beams down upon me. Its spotless white collar and blazer tie furnish a fitting frame for the features of Zuzu Poth. Away out in Hollywood, I see a star of the first magnitude. Directors cringe before him, extras stare in awe. As I see him now, he is playing in a society drama, and is astounding his associates with the superlative grace with which he handles a fragile tea cup. Why of course it is Neely Allison, the Merton Gill of the South. A long jump back to Canajoharie, New York, shows a sedate young man touring the department stores, drug stores and etc., taking orders for his productial namesake. He is loaded down with order pads and samples so that he can hardly navigate,but he bravely carries on. Another man has found his place as “Ko” Mowlam fills another order. Down in College Station I see the corps marching boldly down to the famous “largest religious attendance for a school of its size,” and just outside Guin Hall there is a rootbeer stand. Oakes Young and Sot Howard are the joint proprietors. I see a diamond mine in the interior of South Africa, where many precious stones are brought into the light of day. Over all this beehive of activity presides a man whose wide experience gained at the Farmers’ Short Course enables him to judge the stones that will appeal to the many fair maidens waiting for the dear one to hand it out. Army Armstrong holds out many stones for his own private use. I see two small towns in Ohio—Gallipolis and Zenia, whose fire departments are models of efficiency and speed. In between times they play in the town bands and thrill the natives with their golden saxophones. These two dash¬ ing fire laddies are Percy Zimmerman and Bugs Elliot. A small country town in Iowa boasts a relic of the glorious past. I speak of that landmark of civilization, a livery stable. Two young men are managing to keep it all together by the dominant force of their will. These young men, Mahon Garry and Hop Hopkins, besides being the town’s leading exponent of horsemanship, are the undisputed forty-two champions of three counties. The Chinaman was growing weary, but I could see that he still had much more to tell. I ordered another quart of rye, and off he w ent. What he next told me I am afraid to put on paper, it is so vile. Said the Chink, “Man, he say, T see a man, if you could call the thing I am going to tell about that, riding about the streets of a fair city of beautiful homes and lovable people. This unspeakable ogre was going around in his hand¬ some car and calling all the little children to him, and then in a suave and touching voice he would tell them “There ain’t no Santa Claus.” Thus low had sunk Henry Bennett. Down in Texas there is a so-called railroad somebody has named the Sap. Like all railroads, this one has section foremen to keep the sections from running off and thus stopping trafific. I see a motor car coming down the track so fast it is on the rail only about half the time. It pulls up beside a tool house, and I see the beaming countenance of Spencer J. Buchanan, section foreman. Up in Chicago they have a place they call the Stockyards. And many, many hogs pass through these yards on their way to be pork and beans. Some hogs are fat, and some hogs are lean, and for some time it has been a problem to sort them quickly and easily. But now all this is changed. The yard company has hired Dub Frederick to stand in the alley down which they drive the hogs. Those that slip through his legs are sorted into one pen and those that can’t get through are put in another. Out in the desert wastes of Arizona, there is a spot reclaimed from the shifting sands to make a veritable garden of Eden. There flow ' ers and trees and delicious fruits grow in abundance, not to mention the bewildering array of market crops. Over this fair land of plenty presides an architect turned farmer, Howard Johnson. I seem to see a copy of one of the world’s foremost sporting magazines, “The Pink Ladies’ Home Journal” or the “Police Gazette.” Since the advent of the new sporting editor the magazine has doubled and tripled its cir¬ culation. Whether or not this astounding result is due to the genius of this new editor, Bill Caldwell, or to the new series of French pictures introduced at the same time by Pat Lipscomb and R. F. Royall, is a moot question. Another familiar name on this uplifting sheet is that of C. E. Gatlin, circulation manager. Out in California there is a place where the marsh grasses grow think and succulent, and the mess-filled waters are still and cool. Goldie Kimball has fenced in some three sections of this marshy country, and is running a high- class frog ranch. On the corner of the main drag and the military walk I see a man standing on a bench, expounding vociferously and volubly the merits of a new ' preparation that he has discovered and is now offering as a boon to the leng-suftering kadets. The man is Dirty Dave Williams, and the preparation he is offering is a sure-fire, guaranteed cure for the R. A. and also the vicious Aggie Itch. Much more than this did the ancient Chinaman tell me, and when he w-as through I gave him a quart of gin and sent him on his way. He spoke of learned doctors, soldiers in the armies of the world, professional bums, esteemed leading citizens and men in many other walks of life, good, bad and indifferent. If you, on reading this, feel yourself slighted, remember that the chances are ten to one the Chinaman had something to say about you, but remember that even we must stop some place. In other w’ords, we know lots that w r e ain’t going to tell. —J. F. B. L. Page 413 y ■ .

I HA 1 T m wi w h ii The Parting Word CUSTOM has made it excusable for the editor of the Longhorn to devote a certain amount of space to telling anyone who has the courage to read the book this far about his pet worries —-to vent any grudge against the staff, the faculty, the school or world at large, and to tell those who are not so unfortunate as to be on the inside, what a huge, thankless job this business of getting out a year-book really is. It would be utterly impossible to have brought this volume to its completed form without the help of those who have worked without honor and obliga¬ tion, and by this means, though meager as it may seem, we wish to make mention of our appreciation. To Mr. Gilbert Allan Geist and Captain Ralph L. Ware, for their art contributions. To Rev. Mathews and Mrs. Ralph Ware, for their financial assistance and many privileges they have at all times given the Staff. To the Entire Longhorn Staff, for their skillful and faithful work and untiring efforts, we express our heartfelt thanks. We appreciate it all. We feel more than compensated for our past years of labors, in that it was one full of pleasant associations, and an opportunity of serving Aggieland as best we could. There is probably much in the book that will displease you; many mis¬ takes which you will class as inexcusable, many omissions you will fail to understand; yet if the book as a whole is what you expected of it, if the changes which you have noted have been improvements, if the good points over¬ shadow the blunders, then the 1925 Longhorn is a success.

Yet, far-seeing men a nd women realized its worth and persisted in attaining it for themselves and their posterity. Thought developed and progress followed in its wake.

A record that can easily be duplicated by any other county that will use Uvalde Rock Asphalt. Furthermore, Judge McCloskey says, “IF ALL the roads in Bexar County were paved with Rock Asphalt, the auto lic ense fees would be all the tax needed to maintain every road in the County and the tax rate could be reduced from 62 c to 47 c.” Uvalde Rock Asphalt Company SAN ANTONIO HOUSTON BEAUMONT NEW ORLEANS Main Office 510 Frost National Bank Building San Antonio, Texas Page 506 C.
