POWER PLANT Alas! how changed from the fair scene, When birds sang out their mellow lay And winds were soft and woods were green, And the song closed not with the day.

BUNGALOW ROW Oh, that this lovely vale were mine, Then, from glad youth to calm decline, My years would gently glide, And by peace be sanctified.

As the purple-gray mists rise, it looks down upon a scene which causes it to open its eyes wider, and to drink in the fresh- ness of the morning. The scene that it beholds is an inspiring one- the Aggie campus with its buildings, its broad driveways and long walks, its shrubbery and shade trees, and its STUDENTS! The sun marvels at the sight which it beholds, and catching the spirit of the scene, sends down its friendliest rays to lend beauty and enchantment to it all. No master ever set on canvas a picture that showed more vitality, more dash and spirit, or more ambition and pride. It is a picture that cannot be interpreted by any colors ever yet put up in tubes. There is an atmosphere about it which poets have felt in their bright, fanciful dreams, which peers of literature have vainly tried to put on paper. The sun might well open its eyes on such a scene for it is here that five hundred young lives are being lived during the period of mental, phy- sical, and moral schooling. While many of the lessons that are being learned here are soon forgotten, others are learned and never forgotten. There are eyes which are looking brightly and eagerly into the future. There are friendships being made which will live until the grim reaper appears to cut away all earthly ties. There are young hearts fluttering with puppy love, perhaps to be broken, and finally mended, or if not broken, to die and merely exist as old memories. In every case the atti- tudes and impressions which are gained here are lasting, and bear im- portantly upon the future. For the red and black standard of the ever beloved old Aggie, the cream of her athletes always have proved and always will prove them- selves as champions worthy of their steel. In her halls there are trophies which bear mute evidence of success in the past, and no less glory shall she lack in the future, for there is a spirit among her ardent followers which will ever spur Aggie teams onward — over the top! Though the night be dark, the lights coming from the windows of that stately building on the gently sloping hillside shine as the beams of a far reaching beacon to tell the world that Aggie students are en- gaged in successful social or scholastic activity. Successful it must be for that Aggie spirit means success, and knows not Failure as its master. It makes no difference whether it be a party, a carnival with a ferris wheel and side shows, a debate, a play, or recital; it must be lively and spirited if it is promoted by Aggie boys and girls. i.ulliniiniiilMlllllil Ilinilinuil tirimimmm iiii muni : m 1 1; i: 111 ;iiiihtiiii iiiniiniitiiri )tuiMiiitiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiniimiiiiiiiiinnnuiHiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiiuinHmiiiiin Twenty-live
