9 SWMCMS N . zf X 'S Ny .Q we ,.,,,,,, , fllunior 'Jlfistory In the year of 1914, we first appeared at the S. of A. as Freshmen We d'd 't 1 n exactly have pep, for you can't have everything at once, but we attracted plenty of attention by our art' d , p IGS an bright ideas. We also were able to keep ourselves above the slams of the S h .. . V op omores, and it must be admitted that that means a great deal. I It was prophesied that the Class of '17 would d o some won- derful things some day. Throughout our Sophomore year we gath d ere pep and energy, occasionally exhibiting some of it to the school, and this year, as Juniors, -the prophecy of 1914 has been fulfilled. ' ' Now, it is notin a spirit of boastfulness that the writer speaks b . . ut rather one of pride. Why, you ask? Does it not mean some: thing to be a member of a class which is leading all classes of the S. of A ' ' '7 . in everything. Go back to.1914. Pray tell us, gentle reader, if your memory is good, what class was the first to organize the annual barnwarming? The Class of 1917. Again, what class as Sophomores, was first to recognize the Freshie d ' ' ' s an give them a boost into the Joys and sorrows of the S. of A., in the form of a grand reception. Again you must answer, 1917! Once again, what class was the Hrst to keep their flag on the pole for forty-eight plus hours, and the first to get broken bones in d f 4 e ense of their colors? The answer, as ever, is 1917. What class of the S. of A. was the first to boast a Junior captain of the football team, and seven men on the squad as well? VVhat class won the B. B. booster pennant for the season of 1916? What class won the school B. B. tournament and thus proved themselves the champions of the S. of A.? To this you must again answer, that Class of 1917. And last, but very important, what class organized the school paper, THE AGGIE TATTLERH, the paper that is a huge success and that advertises the S. of A. far and wide? Reader, you must answer all queries with the same answer-the Class of 1917. Now again, the writer emphasizes that he is not boasting, but really to be fair, you must admit that the Class of 1917 is the best class-the original class-of the S. of A., and if you had your choice, you like Buster B. would select the Juniors!

T gp N as Tilunior 'Brom The Junior Prom was held at the Temple theatre on February 12. About forty couples were in attendance, good music was furnished and, in general, the affair was a grand success. The dancing started at nine o'clock and lasted until twelve o'clock. Punch Was served until a late hour, but due to the excessive thirst of those present it finally disappeared among a clatter of glasses and merry laughter. The lights got really rude about eleven o'clock and kept winking at intervals until at twelve o'clock, they refused to shine any more, and could they have heard the many remarks not in their favor, they Would have blushed with shame. The programs were in' class colors and of a neat yet chic design. Tlfato Gimc 'flatly Our Annual Barn Warming was held on Nov. 20, 1915, in-Plant Industry building. It was carried out this year much the same as other years, with all people present in hard time rags and was, as usual, a grand success. Hard cider, sandwiches, apples and pickles were served at midnight, and flash-light pictures were taken of the group. The Juniors were born for great things, The Seniors were born for small, And the Sophornores-why, 'it is not recorded, . Why they were born at all! Mr. Rivett's favorite remark is: Simple things for simple people! P. S.-I like simple things. muI:Jwml.,.-fmnmmvw-mmm-u vw mi mu 1 1 I -- e - ' 'locals TIM HARP.- Why is the ocean always on the move?
