RISER PROCTOR Board of Trustees Every great enterprise must have some one to direct its course. No matter how small the work there must be a direc- tor at the helm. The course is not determined by the leader, but it follows in a large measure. The leadership of the Arkansas Polytechnic College is in the hands sof the Board of Trustees, consisting of five mem- bers, viz: Col. Henry Stroupe, J. B. Paine, O. H. Wilson, J. L. Lieb and John E. Chambers. Colonel Stroupe, of Paris, is a man of much experience and high ideals. He has served as president of the board for a num- ber of years. Colonel Stroupe has had the interest of the school at heart and has put forth much effort in behalf of the institu- tion. Mr. Paine, of Van Buren, is one of the oldest members in point of service. He has served continuously as secretary of the board since his appointment. Mr. Wilson, a successful farmer and business man is the local representative of the Board. Mr. Lieb, of Bentonville, represents the remotest section of the district. He is a farmer and one of the pioneer members. Mr. Chambers, of Danville, is the new man and the latest addition to the Board. He was appointed last year to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Hill. We are very grateful to these leaders for their administra- tive ability. We are proud of the fact that we can call these sincere men the pilots of the institution. Now that we have a four-year college course, we trust that the Board will bend its efforts toward the standardization of the course. Texiile School Outlook In 1925, the Forty- fifth General Assembly of Arkansas ap- propriated §75,000 for the purpose of establishing a textile school at one of the four Agricultural Colleges. The act Avas passed because of a growing desire on the part of the citizenship of Arkansas to establish the textile industry ill the state. Since Arkansas is located in the center of a dis- trict producing an abundance of raw material, and since it has favorable labor and fuel conditions, it is an ideal location for textile mills. It is the purpose of the Textile School to teach men and women to assume the supervision of these mills when they are built. It is also hoped that the school will stimulate an interest in bringing other industries to the state. South Carolina and Georgia have similar institutions, and they have proved to be of much value. After the appropriation was made, a committee of three men was named to locate the school. Having carefully studied conditions at all four of the Agricultural Colleges, the commit- tee came to the conclusion that Arkansas Polytechnic College at Russellville offered the best advantages. After further preliminaries, work was started on the build- ing. It is now nearing completion, and is an imposing work of architecture in point of both service and beauty. HOWARD BURTON, B. S.

We find this trait in him as a student and as a man. His school life is a record of which he may justly be proud. Modesty and discretion in all undertakings make of him a most de- sirable student.

Nix nobly x erpetuates the Wonder Boy ideal — a good athlete and an all- round student. Modest and unassum- ing, he prefers rather to hear others feing his praises. HAROLD CRUM, B. S Humphrey, Ark. Agri Club Club ; T. M. tery D . Service and leadership materialize only after aucomplishment. His abil- ity to accomplish is made certain by his diligent work. His faithfulness, and promptness cannot pass unre- warded. He wins the respect and ad- miration of all who know him. G. E. TANNER, B. S. Quitman, Ark.

Through his persistent efforts for success his fu- ture could be nothing but pleasing. Appreciation of the rights of others has made his popularity general among the student body. History of The College Seniors It is with a feeling of faintness and doubt that I begin this chronicle, which I feel must surely, too, prove to me a task. At the age of twenty years with only a moderate education I am requested to chronicle the events of the life of the college graduating class of 1926. This seems to me an undertaking worthy of the efforts of an H. G. Wells or a Hidpath, but having spent one-third of my life at this institution, and having been associated with the members of this class from 4 to 20 years, I have decided to make the attempt. This is to be a class history, but as the class is made up of individuals, who with the fleeting years have come up from the ranks of the high school student and the college lower class- men in different ways, it seems that we should become ac- quainted with the individual students. Since 1922 our class has felt the good influence and able leadershi)! of our president, Howard A. Burton, who came to us at the age of 20 years from Hickory Plains. Many of the executive duties of societies, clubs and classes have fallen to the lot of Howard, who has always been willing and able. The Vice-president of our class, ,T. Overton Sadler, came to Tech in 1922 after graduating from Paris High. The Secretary of our class enjoys a very unique position, she is the only young lady therein. Miss Hilda Clark, as she was formerly known, left her home in Mena, Arkansas, in 1919, and marveling very much at everything, this little girl of 17 came to Tech. In 1925 after some persuasion, of course, she accepted the name of Rose and is now known to us as Hilda Clark Rose. In ' 22 a very agreeable class-fellow joined us from Ozark. Monte John Nixon has been one of the steady workers that have transformed the Aggie of the past to the Tech of the present. Harold Crum is a silent worker from Humphrey, Arkansas. He has been a leading student in the college since 1922, which was Harold ' s first year at Tech. This being an all around class, you of course expect a hen-peeked husband. Well we have him. G. E. Tanner, after teaching school and farming for a time desired a higher education and came to Tech in 1923. The group has not, on the whole, been one of stellar stu- dents or athletes. As students none of us, perhaps, has been the very best; but the entire class has always been among the best. The same is true of athletics. Our class has made its contribution to football, track, and baseball, and two are mem- bers of the Letter Association. To the institution and to all our friends we wish to be remembered among those who served their Alma Mater faithfully and helped to constitute that class of students who are ever the bulwark of institutions. — O. C. 2 Prophecy of College Seniors The Senior Chiss of 1920 is a strangely assorted elass. All are earn- est, steady workers. It is an interesting thing to close one ' s eyes and in fancy follow their ways through tlie years to come. As to a jjro- phecy for the class, only a great ijrophet could prepare one. But I have a vivid fancy and like to trace their actions in fanciful dream. I believe that each one will gain a moderate degree of fame in his own way; so follow me for a few moments, and 1 shall give to you the gist of my thoughts. The president of our class is one of the most likable young men one ever met. And oh, such a busy fellow! All the girls like Howard Bur- ton. In fancy, I can see him as the years roll by climbing the ladder of success. Then one day he will have nearly reached the summit, for I see him sitting in the President ' s chair at Vassar, the oldest college in America for young women. My thoughts stray on. The vice-president of our class is an auto- mechanic by nature. As the years go by, Henry Ford becomes feeble with age and linds need of a brilliant mechanic to help him manage his big plant, which is also increasing with the years. In my mind ' s eye I can see J. (). Saddler filling the position very successfully. What would we all do if it were not for the comic pages of the newspapers, which give us a chance for relaxation and laughter? In the class there is one starting on a career as a cartoonist. I let my thoughts fly into the future and fancy people gleaning their fun from the comic page of the New York Globe, edited by our class mate, Otha L. Clark, a cartoonist of note. In my reverie, 1 lind Uncle Sam in great distress. He is in need of an experienced man to be Postmaster General. At Tech we have a little post offlce which has given to G. E. Tanner a wide and varied ex- perience in the duties of a postmaster. If I were give n to prophecy, I should say that G. E. was employed by Uncle Sam; but even though I ' m not, I can imagine him as one day being Postmaster General at Washing- ton, D. C. My fancied future nearly comes to an end when I think of one member of our class. He is very studious, well versed, and very much interested in agriculture. His name is Harold Crum. Even now I can see him manager of Long ' s Model Farm. And at night when we listen in, we can hear him giving long discussions on the best methods in agricul- ture. I stop there in my mental vision and leave the rest to Harold. The business of the world demands business men. In our class we have a good business man in the person of Monta .lohn Nixon. He is a cheery, well-liked young man and I cannot, (knowing little of busi- ness) imagine anything greater from him than to ligure him as a suc- cessful stock broker on Wall Street. This concludes the class roll except for myself. My Castles in Spain face away and leave me wondering if my fanciful imagining might not, after all, be a prophecy for our class. — H. (C). R.

We are the little group of green sprouts, that in the fall of ' 22, were transplanted here from Arkansas and Oklahoma. We came to the Arkansas Polytechnic College to get the final shine of knowledge and etiquette before mak- ing our debut upon the stage of the world action. Most of us have stood the wear and tear of chiss politics social functions, hikes and late dates fairly well considering the strict disciplinary rules and regulations of our college. As yet we have not begun to wear the scars of time. The midnight juice has not been burned to any great ex- tent; nevertheless the class has a splendid scholarship record and all are honorary organization members. The juniors have brains enough to be brilliant without grinding their noses to a mere stub. Our motto is, save, save electric juice, burn gaso- line. Oh, how we do love joy rides. If it takes a strong body to make brains, the junior class ought to be well supplied, for they all have a good athletic makeup. Two of the boys are football players, while the other boy and the one girl each perform some athletic feats. We are not supposed to tell too many of our glories in this edition, as it would never do to outshine the seniors. Il ' c ' rf tell lion more of this junk: But the senior editor would mark it Iniiik. Into the waste basket the stufj ' would ao: For the senior class must be the whole show. Poe m An old man (joing a lone highwciu Came at the evening cold and gray To a chasm deeu and vast and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim. The sullen stream had no fear for him: But he turned when safe on the other side, And built a l)ridge to span the tide. ' Old man ' said a fellow-pilgrim near, ' You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journeij will end with the ending day. You never again will pass this way: You ' ve crossed the chasm deep and wide; Why build this bridge at eventide? ' The builder lifted his old, gray head. ' Good friend, in this path I ' ve come, ' he said, ' There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this uhui. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I ' m building this bridge for him: SDPHUnDRE e griCJdW sim s imiii- RAPHAEL SKIXXER, Morris, Okla., President Arkco-Agrian Society; Track; Basket Ball; Battery F. lYo nobler youth is to be found anijwhei ' e.

Sophomore Class History Although time has not made much histroy for the Sopho- more Class, it has been active during the time that it has ex- isted. Only one year ago and the Sophomores were Freshmen learning to do the biddings of the upper classmen and at the mercy of what ever action that they wished to take. Now it is not so, for the Sophomore feels that he is an essential factor in the school machinery, and that before the organism can function properly, that he must tirst function. The Sopho- mores are taking a big interest in athletics, clubs, societies, and all other college activities and have proved themselves among the best in all these activities. Several members of the Sophomore class have done their I)repatory work in the Arkansas Tech, while others have come from reputable high schools and colleges of this and ad- joining states. The class of ' 28 has made a good showing thus far and it is expected will take an increasingly important role in affairs in the following years. The Sophomores are showing the pep and spirit in both class room and in student activities, which, if continued through the rest of the college course, will carry them through with high standards. — E. M. Opporttmity This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream — There spread a cloud of dust along a jjlain: And underneath the cloud, or in it. rac ed A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince ' s banner Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle ' s edge, And thought, Had I a sword of keener steel — That blue blade that the king ' s son bears — but this Blunt thing! — he snapped and flung it from his hand, And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king ' s son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand. And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemii down. And saved a great cause that heroic day. Edward Sill GUY COXLEY, Jr., Paris, Ark.

History of Freshman College Class Tuesday, August 18, 1925, there appeared on the Arkansas Poly- technic college campus a vast assemblage of human freaks, who la- ter were classed as College Freshmen. These unfathomed individuals hailed from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas and Louisiana. In size, age, intellect, and ability there was an extensive scope of varia- tion. They ranged from the blushing, young embryos, who were emi- grating for the first time from their original habitats, to the daring, young Romeos, A ho for some years had made annual migrations to college in a vain endeavor to gain recognition as species of the Sopho- morcophytes. Notwithstanding the irregularities in tlieir introduction, the mem- bers of the Freshman class have acquitted themselves very favorably. The class has become a record breaker and a history maker for Arkan- sas Tech. First, it is the only class in school that boasts of members from five states. Second, it has enrolled more members and lost a greater per cent of its enrollment than any other body of students in Tech History. Third it has furnished more athletes, more trouble, and a greater number of demerits and heartaches than any other class. Fourth, its members have cultivated a lo e for the college that has filled them with a desire to be instrumental in the perpetuation of its services to the boys and girls of Arkansas. Now, as the glory of summer slowly fades into autumn; as the green of the foliage melts into the the millions of autumn shades; as the few evergreens remain to lend their never-changing color to next year ' s scheme, so passes the Freshman class of 1926 into the pages of A. P. C. ' s Book of Life. It is merely the working out of a well-made plan for Freshman to become Sophomores with here and there those members who, by sins of omission or commission, remain as the pines and cedars of the forest, to lend their knowledge to the Freshman class of next year. Joy be with them. -:SL H. Invictus Out of the niyht that covers me. Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstances I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade. And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strcdt the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley CHAS. B. CLEMENT, Hover, Ark.

Senior Class History As the scenes of the past rise before me I see several little Sub-fresh- men marching up to the chapel hall on the morning of August 1(1, 1921. Thus the founders of the great Senior Class of ' 26 were: Covie Rose, Carl Roberts, Fern Yates, Stanley Mitchell, Xzin McNeal, C. B. Clement, and Harold Overby. Full well do we remember our first year at Aggie. We felt out of place and very inferior (as all under-class- men should.) But we soon began to realize that we were an impor- tant factor in our school; that we had a part to play in up-holding the banners of our alma mater. The sands of time have sifted down. The year 192G finds that from our ranks have come noted athletes, leaders in the different clubs and so cieties, and diligent literary students. The play given by the Seniors, W ' as considered one of the most successful class plays ever given in Russellville. Our Class is well represented in all forms of athletics. We fur- nished the Wonder Boys with three of the team ' s most valuable men. C. B. Clement is one of the greatest guards that ever played on an Arkansas team. It would be a credit to any team to have Foots in its line-up. Otis Stephens is also a great lineman in every respect. Harold Overby has ])roved to be a very valuable man at quarter. Es- chol Horn, Harold Overby, and Lambert Resimont are three of Tech ' s best baseball players. Lambert Resimont and Eschol Horn are among the best basket ball men in school; with a little more experience John Coleman and Robbie Rogers will prove their ability on the basket ball court. Prue Rogers, Leola Brown, Erma Lee Price, Fern Yates, Rennye Bond, and Clara Goodin represent the class in girl ' s basket ball. Seniors have also distinguished themselves as officers and leaders in the clubs and societies. It has been Seniors that have won in the de- clamation contests. No other one class furnishes as many non-coms, in the National Guard units. We also find the Seniors strong in the music department. Let us take a birds eye view of this department. We see Hilda Blair, Joe Goodwin, and Lee Harton playing in the band. The keys of a piano seem to have a magic way of responding when touched by Daisy Mc- Millan. And four vocal soloists of more ability than Lady Evelyn Mar- tin, C. B. Clement, Sybil Webb, and Arvle Bennett would be hard to find. But we do not ignore the literary student. We have taken a great part in the student activities, but our studies have always come first. Herbert Blair, Lambert Resimont, John Coleman, and Daisy McMillan are at their best when they are inside a class room. This year we conquer the few remaining foes, that stand between us and our Sheep-Skins. As we realize how much broader and more developed our minds are today than four years ago, we feel that we have not toiled in vain. We realize now, as never before, that we are very much indebted to dear old Arkansas Tech and its wonderful Faculty. And we hope, ever as we have benefited, that our alma mater is also better and has profited by our etforts. q_ fj. Senior Class Prophecy Several years have jiassccl since I finished my prep course in Arkansas Tech, ami I am now librarian for a Northern University. The students call me Statistical Jack, so in keeping with my pet name, I have proposed an article pertaining to the whereabouts and well being of my classmates. Anna Sue Thompson, Sybil Webb, Hilda Blair, Lady Evelyn Mar- tin, and Arvlc Bennett have been through the sharps of a Musical Conservatory, and are now teaching students how to warble. Otis Stephens is governor of Oklahoma. Several of the girls became the wives of prominent business and professional men. They arc Daisy McMillan, Benny Bonds, Leola Brown, Alta Winburn, Clara Goodin, and Erma Lee Price. Fern Yates and Irene Winner are members of the faculty at Ark- ansas Tech. Lee Horton is sherifT of Faulkner County. Sid Walker is proprietor of a We Wash ' Em auto shop. Robert Morgan, Rye Bond, Roy Baker, and Virgil HighflU are oper- ating stores in their home towns. Bob Davis is l ussellville ' s new Chief of Police! Chas. Clement and Darrell Burnham finished at Vanderbilt. They are now serving in the Army, as doctors, for experience. After having become a ' Henry, ' it seems that Elsie Birkhead is fixed for the winter. John Coleman, Hadley fieorge, and Lee Franklin are great elec- trical Wizards. Eschol Horn and Lambert Resimont are coal mine operators. (-ovie Rose is mentioned in the Who ' s Who in America as a real poet. Among those who have become successful farmers are Keith Ben- nett, Clyde Curtis, Sid McClanahan, Carl Roberts, Xzin McXeal, and Stanley Mitchell. James Matlock won the Ford Medal last year for old time music. Herbert Blair, Frank Wright and Paul VanDalsem are busily en- gaged in preaching the Gospel. Roy McDougal is manager for a rice company, and Bobbie Rogers purchased an interest in the Douglas Coal Company. I had some trouble in finding anything about where Prue Rogers is, but it seems that she went north with???? Evelyn Cook is a noted seamstress, while Joe Lyman is an ex- pert tailor. Leo Brown and Albert Reynolds have gone to South America in search of bugs. —J. 0. Last Will and Testament of Senior Class Vc, the Seniors of ' 20, being noljle in mind, upright in jus- tice, and feeling safe in our knowledgment of partiality toward the worthy, do cause this, our last will and testament, to be published this year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and Twenty- six. ' 1. The class as a unit hereby agrees to will its right of supreme judgment on all questions of great importance to Mr. D. G. Armstrong who, no doubt, will enjoy the jirivilege. 2. Our worthy president, Chas. B. Clement, leaves to the dunce of the Junior class his powers of versatility, including his ability to play football, to coach and referee basket ball, to cut hail-, and, last but not least, he leaves the privilege of flirt- ing with who ever he wishes to be his successor. Mr. Clement ' s personal will, leaving everything to the blonde in town, was declared null and void by the ruling committee of the Senior Class. 3. Since Paul Van Dalsem, has given up school life and has set his goal as president of the Chamber of (Commerce at Aplin, he leaves his oratorical powers to Ralph Cravens. 4. James Matlock, the math shark, leaves to Imogene Liles his ability to make 100 per cent in geometry when the remain- der of the class fails to make a decent zero. 5. Daisy McMillan wills her knowledge of romantic poetry to the most prospective successor to the Rogers-Overby mer- ger, Ilah Hampton and Laverne Weir, especially in a romantic environment such as moonlight and Rose (s) ? 6. Carl Roberts leaves his established reputation of being the best fiddler in Arkansas Tech to Mr. Marvin Williamson, his most promising contender. 7. Keith Bennett returns to I h-. Dean tlie power of presid- ing boss ' in the manual training department. Keith says, the responsibilities are making me baldheadcd. 8. To Roy Crossno, a student of astonishing capacity, goes the honor of being heir to Eschol Horn ' s ability to soar eleven feet in the pole vault. 9. The Senior Sheiks, Joe Lyman and Lee Harton are leaving without carefully groomed mustaches. To Clement Carter we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high. 10. Irene Winner wills her conversational powers to Lela Vaughn. 11. Curley Stephens leaves the privilege of working on the farm whenever he wishes, to someone who has never been out after taps, his crops to go toward the upkeep of Ark- ansas Tech. 12. Iladley George, our newsboy, leaves his bicycle and license to Perry Clark. 13. Sill McClanahan leaves his knoNvludge of mumps and Vilolct(s) to George Hickey. We often wonder Yhy Vioilct and Sid had mumps at the same time. 14. Herbert Blair wills his home in Lamar to Smoke Farmer who will readily grasp the opportunity to become bet- ter acquainted with this little city. 15. Stanley Mitchell leaves the right to be called sister to Herbert Kirkwood. 10. Xzin McXcal, top-corporal of Battery D bequeaths his ability to discharge his duties perfectly to Clement Carter. 17. Rye Bonds wills his interests in the Russellville Laun- dry to a successful manager, Carroll Buffington. 18. Clyde Ciu-tis leaves his knowledge of dairy tempera- ment to Mr. Stewart. 19. Darrell Buruham bequeaths his knowledge on, How to Deal with Newton County Products, to his partner in busi- ness, Hadley Lamont Musgrove. 20. Since the INIisses Erma Lee Price, Sibyl Webb, Elsie Birkhead and Clara Goodin have acquired world-wide fame as movie stars, they leave their talents to the prettiest girls in the Junior class. 21. Sidney B. Walker transfers his knowledge of the sporting world to Damon Runyan, his logical successor. 22. At last Ir. Casey has come into his own. To him Anna Su e Thompson has willed the immense powders of her vocal organs. Woe be unto Xewton County settlers when Uncle Bert visits home. 23. Mr. Buerkle has also received something he will no doubt treasure, since William Major Woodford has left his ambitions to become General of the American Army, the Bat- tery D Captain. 24. Bob Davis leaves to the Tech library fifty copies of his latest book, Sensations of a Newly Married Man. 25. Hilda Blair proudly bequeaths her knowledge of how to get along with faculty members to Overton Saddler. 26. Leola Brown leaves her athletic abilities to Florence Dean. 27. Arvle Bennett and Lady Evelyn Martin are on their way to the Metropolitan stage. To Otha Clark and Vivian Den- nis they fling the Septer with the injunction to carry on. 28. Covie Rose and Robert Morgan, joint authors of From A to Z in Salesmanship, leave their latest book. How to Reach Home when Broke, to Russel Lipe and Lytic Branson. 29. Lambert Resimont wills his ability to referee a basket ball game between his home team and his Alma Mater to M. R. Clement. 30. Virgie Highfill, Albert Reynolds, Lee Franklin, and Evelyn Cook leave their knowledge of English to Miss Brown and Mr. Casey. 31. Robert Piogers wills his ability to entertain faculty members, when thev visit his home to Hilda Blair. , 5 r ; 77;ey S - all HoT pass!

Junior Acadeniij History When the spring of 1926 ;i])pc ' ars, the weary travelers con- stituting the Junior Chiss ijitcli camp at the foot of a very steep hill. Standing there in tlie glow of the sunset hour they look Lack over the diOicult path they have traversed during the year. As they look, they think of the many dangers in the guise of tests they have encountered. They sec the steep hills of Math they have marched over after a climb of many days, and the long English road they have traveled. Once again they look in another direction and jjerceive an immense mountain coming which has been difficult to cross. They then talk about the weeks spent in iiassing that terrible mountain, for there in its passes, were encountered the Fresh- men, the Sophomores and the Seniors. They talk, lest they forget the terrible battles waged and the final triumph of the Juniors. The final victory which has enabled them to reach the summit of the difficult mountain was waged in a valley over-flowing with volunteers, who were anxious to fight in or- der that they too might some day be true agricolae. As the regiment begins to leave on furlough, (Captain Arm- strong points out in the distance the field they have left be- hind. He tells them that, with he same fight next year, the field will be protected, and then llnally they will reap a boun- tiful harvest, which is the dream of everv true agricolae.

We believe in the sophomore class of 1926; that it is tlie most brilliant, original, and popular class that Tech ever will have; that her members arc the most capable, law-abiding, and loyal; that the President is the most studious and the best boy in school. We do earnestly believe that our motto is inspiring enough to carry us joyfully on our way to seniorhood. Hurrah for the Academy Sophomores of ' 26 and the seniors of ' 28! — D. H. A Psalm of Life Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an emi)ly dream! — ; ■ ' For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life, is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art. to dust returnest. Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow Finds us farther than today. Art is long, and Time is fleeting And our hearts, though stout and brave. Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world ' s broad field of battle. In tlie bivouac of life.

The class is represented on the baseball, football and bas- ket ball squads, track, Y. M. and Y. V., various clubs and so- cieties and band and orchestra. Some are doing their dead- level best to keep Mrs. Howard from going broke, while some are keeping up the school traditions by fussing about the Ag- gie Beans. If it were not for our boys, Mr. Tommy would have a hard time keeping paper and other refuse cleaned from the campus. A few of the most ambitious have been suspected of having helped Mr. iNIcBee on -Saturday afternoons. It is doubt- ful whether Captain Buerkle or Captain Yeldon could direct the National Guard activities without our advice. From this, you see that the class of 1926 is an important cog in the Tech machine, and you may expect great things of her in years to come. —V. .M. T. You don ' t have to tell how ijoti live each day, You don ' t have to sail if uou work or play; A triedj blue barometer serves in the place — However i ou live it will show in iiour face. The false, the deceit, that yon bear in your heart Will not stay inside where it first got the start: For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace — What you wear in your heart yon wear in your face. If yon have gambled and won in the great game of life, !l von feel you conquered the sorrow and strife, If you ' ve played the game fair and stand on first base- You don ' t have to tell, it shows on your face. If uour life is unselfish, if for others uou live. For not what you get, but how much you can give; If uou live close to God in his infinite grace — You don ' t have to tell it, it shows on uour face. DRCANIZATIDNS . ' ffmwp ' Arkco-Acjriaii Socieitj The Arkco-Acjricin Literary Socieiij From time to time, in years past, there iiave been societies f()rnie l in our college to struggle only awhile and then die. Such was the case in 1920 when tlie Lee Debating Club was organized. It was the only society and, as a result of no competition, it lived its time in two years. In 1922 there was practically no society in the school. At this time, two spirited young men decided that if our institution was to develop as it should there must be literary societies. As a result they announced their intentions of organizing two societies and asked for followers. Thus it came to pass that the Arkco-Agrian Society was founded under the able leadership of Ellis Lauhon, better known as Rip. Of course Ellis was unanimously elected its iirst president. A constitution was formed, and the organization began a rajjid growth that has lasted throughout its four years of existence. This year has prob- ably been the most successful one of all. Odicers are elected each term and it has been, at all times, under the leadership of earnest and capable students. A real live interest has been manifested among the society members, and every one has done his part to make the organization what it should be. Membership is at this time greater than ever before. We hoiie that the good work will be continued from year to year and that the Arkco-Agrian Society will exist as long as there is an institution here. Periclean Literary Society Of the many organizations that have contribiitcd to the success and glory of the Arkansas Polytechnic College the Pericleans rank with the foremost. By competent leadership and loyal co operation, splendid success has been achieved. The object of this organization is to train students to become better speakers and more efficient leaders in public life. In student organizations of this kind leaders are constantly being devel- oped. It is hoped that in the future Arkansas will not lack in competent community leadership. The Pericleans are slowly gaining a strong foothold in our college. They have been instrumental in fostering a better understanding and acquaintance- ship among both faculty and students. They have sponsored various social functions throughout the year, thus creating a better social atmosphere. The Pericleans stand for well developed physical, mental, and spiritual manhood and womanhood, better contentment, and increased love and loyalty for dear old A. P. C. — W. J. B. The Agricultural Club The purpose of the Agri Club is to bring together a group of young men students, interested in agriculture, for the discussion of agricultural topics and for pleasant social fellowsliip. It realizes that the student who comes to this college and takes advantage of the opportunities offered here will be ex- pected to assume a leading part in his community when he finishes his course. He will often be called upon to pass on to others the knowledge he acquired here. Very likely he will become a member of one or more organizations where a knowledge of parliamentary law is needed. He will want to pos- sess the knack of having a good time with his fellows. These are some of the future needs for which this club is preparing its members. Much of its success is due to its social nature. The programs are var- ied enough to make them interesting. Talks on agricultural subjects are sup- plemented by music, debates, demonstrations, jokes, poetry and stunts. At intervals during the year special entertainments are arranged. Among the most successful this year were initiation programs once a month; Dues Night Feeds each term; a weincr roast on Norristown Mountain; and an annual banquet with all the trimmings. — H.

Mr. Stevenson was instrumental in getting the boys together, and he explained the importance of such an organ- ization. An enthusiastic response on the part of those present resulted in the election of officers. A constitution was drawn up and adopted, and the work progressed splendidly the first year. Each successive year has witnessed the growth of the Science Club and the good results derived from it. The members have profited by the weekly meetings more than can be estimated. In the latter part of ' 23 girls were admitted to the club, as it was thought unfair for the boys to get all the benefit of such an organization. The girls now have the same rights and privileges as the boys, in that they may hold office, serve on committees, and work for the club in general. Now the club has a limited membership as it is quality and not quantity that is desired. There are three instructors and two assistant instructors in this field now where there was only one in the beginning. The annual fall and spring alTairs of the Science Club are looked for- ward to as red letter days in the events of the club. These social events mean more than merely breaking the monotony of the everyday programs given. They give each member an opportunity to express his or her per- sonality and leadership. There are many of Tech ' s foremost leaders to be found in this organization. All the members work together for the benefit of the club and not for the personal praise that may be gained. —I. .1. Debating Club The debating club was organized during the school year 1924-25 under the supervision of Dean G. R. Turrentine. Since that time it has proved to be one of the best clubs on the campus, and its success has been a credit and inspiration to its organizers and charter members. The club has for its aim, training in the art of forceful public speaking, and the instilling of that art in each and every member as a factor of his college education. It has been said that you may judge a woodman by his chips. Likewise, you may judge the debating club by its speakers. If the future may be judged on the merits of the past, it is obvious that the Debating Club in the future will continue to be a credit to its organizers and society life on the campus. —J. W. B. Y. M. C. A. Until 1924 there was no V. ' SI. C. A. on our campus, but at this time we can boast a splendid organization. It is a work for young men and by young men, improving their environment, giving them victory over their temptations, and above all and in all, transforming their character and life through allegiance to Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. It is a body of young men who meet together to learn more about the life of Jesus, and how He met and faced the problems of life, and how students in turn may apply His principles to their own lives. These boys who have selected the Y. M. C. A. as their major interest and emphasis, have joined themselves with a band of Christian men, who unselfishly give their service to their school and fellow students. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women ' s Christian Association did not have a i hice in our college until the year 1923. It is true that the organization is young in years, but it is old in spirit. It is also true that it is Christian in principle. The thirty-one young ladies who meet each week are striving to bring God ' s kingdom to the college campus, thereby defending tlicir slogan. Perhaps the organization was more imperfect during the past years than it is now; perhaps many of those imperfections still remain; (as with any human institution) but an organization that can stand for so much that is fine and true, and in many senses prophetic of things to be, cannot but be one of the greatest forces in the upholding of Christianity, promoting the under- standing between one student and another and, in short, bettering our whole college life. ' ,i .i- K! ft ' T ' ?? T Association The association for lutter men of Arkansas Tecli was organized in tlie fall of ' 23. There had been a missing link in the athletic activities of the college for several years; the A association supplied this deficiency. The organiza- tion served under its original name. The A Association, until last fall. Then the letter T was substituted for A , subsequent to the change in the name of the college. The association has a written constitution by which all its proceedings are directed. This constitution is preserved in the secretary ' s office and is available on short notice. The requirements for letters are prescribed in this constitution. Not e en the coaches have power to confer a letter of athletic recognition upon athletes. Only letter men are members of the T association. The organization has a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and sergeant-at-arms. These officers are elected for a term of twelve months each. The asspciation has a regular meeting the first Monday evening of each t-month and call meetings when conditions that require immediate atten- tion arise. This association of athletes has been Itistrumental in creating a spirit of equality and brotherhood among the students of Arkansas Tech. The yellow and green athletic blankets are the property of the organiza- tion. A member is given one of these blankets uf)on graduation. The blank- ets are a fi?w of many prized awards obtained by a winning spirit and con- sistent effort. Thus far the T Association has enjoyed a very active and successful career. It is held in high esteem by the student body at large and may this spirit be maintained forever. Dramatic Club Dramatic Club Dramatic Club Grace of body and fluency in conversation arc desired by all girls. A girl without poise, ■which means a perfect ease and grace and ability to master a rather embarrassing or difficult situation, feels keenly her position in any crowd, especially in a group of wide-awake college students. The time has come when girls and women are looked upon as the intellectual, so- cial and political equal of men, and thus must be prepared in this progressive twentieth century of ours to shoulder respon- sibility, to take hold of a serious problem, and by their woman- ly intuition, knowledge and judgment solve it in such a way that they will be stamped as leaders. On December the third, nineteen hundred twenty-two, the girls of the Aggie School (as it was then known) who were in- terested in expression and physicial culture met to perfect an organization to be composed entirely of girls with the aim of learning how to appear more at ease before the public. Miss Nora Brown was instrumental in getting the girls together, and she explained the importance of an organization of this kind. An enthusiastic response on the part of those present was the result, and officers were immediately elected. Fortunately these officers were live, wide-awake girls, leaders among the students and soon let all know that the livest organization in school was the Dramatic Club. A constitution was adopted, and work progressed wonderfully well this first year. Each year has seen the growth of the Dramatic Club and the good results on the girls who were members. They have profited from the Tuesday afternoon programs by learning wore about parliamentary practice, by contributing something for the mental edification of those present, and by attaining an assurance that probably would not have been gained any other way. The annual fall and Valentine affairs of the Dramatic Club are harked as red-letter days in the social calendar of Arkan- sas Tech. These events mean more than merely a break in the hunidrum life of the class-room, because they are stepping- stones in aiding a girl to surmount social obstacles. She makes a social success of these events and has thus gone on the road to the perfection she wishes to attain. The worth-while leaders among Arkansas Tech girls are found in the Dramatiic Club and after all, it is results that count and receive the final recognition. COLLEGE DOMESTIC ART Domestic Art Tlie time has passoil when horse work is considered menial. In order that the house-wife may he more than a drudge and a slave she must pos- sess a special knowledge which requires special education in addition to ex- perience. Tabcr has well said that Home making involves far more than a knowledge of material values. Yet with such equipment any woman ' s success as a home maker is more nearly assured. It is the purpose of the Domestic Art Department not only to teach the student how to sew, but also to become a useful member of the home and community of which she is a member. The courses in clothing include a wise choice of materials and designs for appropriate occasions as well as the hygienic aspects of dress. The se- lection, purchase and use of ready made commodities is studied, as well as the care, upkeep and repair of clothing, and household furnishings. The study of textiles includes a study of the comparative value of the four chief fibers and the types of material made from them. A course in home furnishings gives instruction in the best way of decorating and beau- tifying the home. DOMESTIC ART 2 2 DOMESTIC ART 1 COLLEGE DOMESTIC SCIENCE DOMESTIC SCIENCE DOMESTIC SCIENCE The College Farm Tho colk ' ge farm is composed of 700 acres and is in three divisions. The farm located at the college contains 320 acres, which is devoted to the raising of live stock. The new farm, as it is known to the students, is located one mile north of the college on the .left ' erson Highway. The soil is of bottom and second bottom types, suitable for general farming. The orchard of 8(1 acres on Xorristown Mountain, four miles out of Russellville, comprises the third division and is wonderfully adapted to fruit growing, due to the fact that the soil is a sandy loam with a clay subsoil. The farms are used for demonstration purposes and as a laboratory for agronomy, animal husbandry, dair ing and hor- ticultiire. The demonstrations arc not only for the benefit of the students but for the farmers of Arkansas as well. Under the directi on of J. S. McBce, agronomist, the farms are the greatest agency in the promotion of better farming methods. Soil improvement, selection of varieties of different field crops, and cultivation methods are emphasized. Much ex- periment and demonstration work is done to determine the desirability of new crops not grown locally. Some parts of the farms are susceptible to erosion, and to overcome this waste of soil, terraces have been built to pre- vent soil washing. Another practical step in soil building is crop rotation. Cro])s of the same nature are never planted on the same land twice in succession. Cover crops are planted to prevent soil erosion, as well as to provide humus. To secure the liighest yield possible it is necessary to choose the best varieties or those that are adapted to the soil on which they are to be grown. If after he first year, varie- ties fail to meet the approval of the agronomist they arc dis- carded. The cultivation methods in practice on the farms are modern in ever respect. They are not only modern but have proved best for this section of the state, and many farmers have increased their production by employing the methods used on the farms. The farmers of the state save much time and money due to the fact that the results of experiments can be published and distributed among them. In addition Farmers ' Day is held annually, when the farmers have a chance to observe the work being done. The farms, under the direction of Mr. McBce, have ac- complished much and have been of great service to the stu- dents of the college and to the farmers of the state.

No one who has not studied music is in a position to appreciate its manifold advantages. The boy who has the advantage of studying music and art is better fitted for future life, even in otlier professions and in business. It may very definitely contribute to his success by giving him vision and daily inspiration to raise his soul to higher levels of human experience and accomplishment. The intellectual discipline of music is enormous. The mental drill can hardly be compared to mathematics, exceyjt that it is a most logi- cal and orderly art. It is inconceivable that the training that puts the human mind through a great number of beautiful mt ' lodic and harmonic patterns, all gracefully and often powerfully designed with marvelous symmetry and balance, can fail to be of great benefit to the student, particularly in ttie formative years. This may be difficult for the busi- ness man to understand. Other countries have produced, and are giving, the world more composers, more originality in composition; but arc they doing more to keep the spirit of music alive among the people? Have we not be- come a nation of music absorbers? We are furnishing audiences — appreciative audiences — to the musical interpreters of the world. Does not this signify a Musical America? We have an accredited course in our institution. Thoughtful in- structors have striven to make the study of music a pleasure to the student, and to cultivate the capacity for musical thinking and hearing. As the needs of each individual differ, so the work is planned to meet those needs. The contributions which our students make to the churches and other organizations of Russellville are gladly rendered. The students of our music department are taught that He who is greatest is he who serves, and serves gladly, willingly, and unselfishly. BAND ORCHESTRA Mixed Quartet ARVLE BENNETT— Tenor.

John G. Bucrkle, Battery Commandur. First Lieut. William W. Sraith, Executive OlTiccr. Second Lieut. John E. Tucker, Range OfTiccr. First Sergt. Charles B. Smith. Battery D was organized October 24, 1923, and has made an enviable record at home and at the summer encampment, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In 192.3 and 1924 Battery D had the highest percentage of attendance at armory drills of any other organization in the United States, and has con- sistently maintained this high standing to the present time. At all three of the past annual armory inspection the Battery has received the highest rating that is given, and upon all past visits of inspecting officers of property the equipment has been found in excellent condition. In 1924 at the first encampment of the 206th, Coast Artillery, Battery D attracted much atten- tion by going about it duties in a soldierly manner and with a sense of loy- alty to those in command. As a result it received a high rating for working efficiency, soldierly appearance, and sanitary standards. The battery was represented at Camp Perry, Ohio, when Arkansas ' rifle team went there to compete with other squads of guardsmen from the var- ious states of the United States. The team acquitted itself creditably. Baiierij F 206f:h Coast Ariillery (AA) Arkansas NaHonal Guard Capt. Davis L. Weldon, Battery Commander. First Lieut. Haley B. White, Field Officer. Second Lieut. Buben D. Caudle, Execu tive Officer. First Sergt. Oscar G. Russell. Battery F was transferred from Magazine to the Arkansas Polytechnic College, and reorganized under its present command January 26, 1925. The battery has developed with rapid strides and now ranks high in efTiciency. Battery F attended the summer encampment in 192,t at Fort Sill, Okla- homa, and made a remarkble showing in military tactics. It performed its duties well on the field and in camp. It received the highest number of points for sanitation of any battery in the regiment, and was awarded a sil- ver loving cup. The award that is given annually to the battery with the best track and field team also won by the battery. A keen sense of re- sponsibility, and respect for those in command, added to the organization ' s excellent armory drill attendance record, has elicited high commendation from the Adjutant General. Battery F is a machine of the 206th Coast Artillery. un battery and is a unit of the 2nd Battalion The Alilltary Department Through the efforts of the State Adjutant the War Department gave Arkansas the power to organize the 206th, Coast Artillery. State in- stitutions were granted the privilege of forming what is known as school units. Arkansas Polytechnic College has two such units, which com- prize the military department. The batteries are fully equipped. Battery F being a machine gun unit has for its equipment six machine guns, and the necessary signaling apparatus; also it has four trucks with cargo bodies. Battery D is equipped with a 7.5mm. Anti-aircraft gun, two quad trucks with ammunition bodies, and a complete set of range instruments together with all the necessary field problem apparatus. It is also equipped with an up-to-date set of signaling instruments and instruments for computing data on field problems and trial shot problems. The aim of the military department is to make better the mental, physical, and moral abilities of its personnel, thereby fitting them for citizenship. There is a need of better trained men, and the depart- ment is helping supply this need by turning out men who have a better organized way of doing things. The physical training received here is probably not excelled. Cal- isthenics is the most systematic way of taking exercise. There is more coordination between the body and mind when such exercise is taken; therefore the physical development received is of great value to the student who takes part in military activities. Loyalty and obedience to those in authority are the watchwords of our country, and nowhere is there more strict adherence to these obligations than in a military body. The first lesson a soldier learns is respect for those in command, and he does not soon forget it. The department furnishes pecuniary inducements in that each member of its organizations receives drill pay from the government. Each member is paid quarterly according to his rank. This helps in a material way to further the cause of education; for without the armory drill pay there would be those who could not remain in school. The payroll brings in quarterly more money than do all other student aid funds. The duties performed in this department bring to bear on each member responsibilities that cannot well be shirked, and therefore de- velop a sense of responsibility to a high degree. The rank of each guardsman signifies his duties which cannot be shirked without the sacrifice of that rating. Each individual fills a certain niche; and Avhen he has taken advantage of the opportunities afforded him, he is better fitted to serve. ., Athleiics Athletics has a place in every college and is becoming one of the most essential elements of college life. In former days young men went west, or in any direction their fancy directed, in search of adventure. Today they go to college, where, while quenching their thirst for ad- venture on the gridiron, track and diamond, they gain a ))riceless gift — an education. To hold a prominent place in athletics is the dream and aspiration of every red blooded youth of today. The realization of those dreams, brings to a boy the most supremely happy period of his career. Caesar crossing the Rubican, felt the same exaltation as a college student of today feels when he charges into an opposing line with the old pig-skin clutclied tight in his arms. Men are just as blood thirsty, just as pasionatc for battle today as were our ancestors in the dawn of history. Today however tlie de- sire for physical encounter is modified somewhat. Instead of going out to clash hand to hand in a mad effort to exterminate the life of an adversary, today men go out to fight their way down the gridiron for a touchdown, or to batter down an opponent ' s outfield fence. The Duke of Wellington attained great prominence when he over came the powers of Napoleon at Waterloo. Later, he attributed his remarkable victory to the cricket fields of Eton, Harrow, and Rugby. Today the names of other men are going down in history. These men are receiving publicity and a prominence before which the name of the conqueror of Napoleon fades to insignificance. Pavo Nurmi on the track. Babe Ruth on the diamond, and Red Grange of the Gridiron, are all prominent examples of what athletics, properly developed can do. The countless throngs of those who go through life physically, mentally, morally, and financially improved by the athletics in which they have taken part, all are examples of the great good that honest athletics can do. Athletics, then, may be said to be man ' s modern means of deter- mining physical supremecy. It is the child ' s dream, the young man ' s expression of physically superiority, the business man ' s hobby, and the average citizen ' s favorite means of recreation. It is a clean, natural method for liberating all that is best in physical possibilities, and as such it should be fostered in every public school in our land. To the memory of the athletes of former days, and to the hopes of the athletes yet to be, these pages are dedicated. — S. U. R. e grfcuW amm «j.imiMa.w„iM . ' irK.

Since that time the team has grown from one of secondary rating to one of the leading teams of this section. Its success may be attributed to excellent coaching, splendid material, and the loyal support of the student bodies and the citizens of Russellvi ' .le.

The season 0]3eiUHl at home with Rusk College as the first oppon- ents. The strength of the visitors was unknown, but we had been prom- ised a worthy foe. There was also much speculation as to how the practically new team of Wonder Boys would perform. A large and enthusiastic group of fans witnessed the struggle, which took place in a sea of mud. The team met and even exceeded all expectations. ' Twas our game 46 to 0. WONDER BOYS 17; PHILLIPS U. 0. Phillips came to us with great reputation, and in expectation of victory. Their jiractice preliminary to play was the best we had ever witnessed from a visiting team. It was a game in which the line as a unit functioned without a flaw. The backfleld performed equally as well, with Evans as the outstanding star. This was considered the acid test game for Tech ' s gridiron heroes. They proved equal to the oc- casion by defeating the Oklahomans 17 to 0. WONDER BOYS 0; HENDERSON 3. Playing their first game away from home the Wonder Boys were defeated by a score of 3 to 0. This was the first defeat by a state team that the Tech team had suffered in five years. A place kick by the Heddies accounted for their three point victory. WONDER BOYS 17; HENDIRX 7. This was the first game with Hendrix since 1920, due to strained athletic relationships since that time. ' Twas a game in which person- al feeling entered into the playing of both teams. The battle was des- perately contested, with the Wonder Boys displaying a superior brand of football throughout the struggle. Hendrix scored by a chance of luck early in the second quarter, after which time our goal was not threatened. WONDER BOYS 21; A. T. C. 0. On the annual Dads ' and Homecoming Day, Tech defeated the State Teachers 21 to 0. Playing before an immense number of Dads and friends, the Wonder Boys displayed a final and convincing superiority over the visit ing eleven. The Wonder Boys were doped to lose. The Teachers had overcome Henderson-Brown 10 to 7, and Henderson- Brown had in turn defeated Tech 3 to 0. In spite of all this, the Won- der Boys let loose an attack that was irresistable, and smothered the Bears ' attempts to score. WONDER BOYS 14; OKLA. STATE NORMAL 7. Playing a spectacular game of football, the Wonder Boys succeed- ed in administering tlie first defeat that the Okla. State Normal had suf- fered on their home ground in sixteen years. Victory was not expected and Tech ' s second string backfield started the game. At the end of the first half the score was 7 to in favor of the Oklahoma team. Twice during the second half the Wonder Boys marched the entire length of the field for the two touchdowns that gave them the victory. Moore, Conley, and Bushmaier were at their best, while Fannin was easily the outstanding star. WONDER BOYS C; OUACHITA 8. In the annual Armistice day game with Ouachita at Little Rock, the Wonder Boys suffered a defeat of 8 to 6. Rain and a muddy field Avcrc great factors in the outcome of the game, and the results cannot be accepted as decisive. The first half ended scoreless, but early in the second period the Tigers blocked a punt. Harris recovered, but was downed behind the goal line, giving the Tigers a two point lead. The sensational play of the game came early in the third quarter when Conley returned a punt for 70 yards and a touchdown. The Wonder Boys were certain of a victory, but in the last quarter the Tigers com- pleted a pass for a touchdown and a victory. WONDER BOYS 33; C. of 0. 0. Playing consistent football throughout the game Tech defeated the College of the Ozarks by a score of 33 to 0. Better opposition was ex- pected from the Mountaineers, but they seemed unable to stop the smashing offensive launched by the Wonder Boys. The visitors held in the first quarter wliich ended scoreless, but Tech tore loose for two touchdowns in the second quarter, one in the third, and two in the fourth. It was the worst trouncing suffered by the Mountaineers dur- ing the season. WONDER BOYS 13; LITTLE ROCK COLLEGE 6. Playing in a sea of mud and water, the Wonder Boys ended a glorious football season Thanksgiving day in a closely contested battle with Little Rock College. Tech emerged victorious by a score of 13 to 6. Water completely covering the field, and a steady downpour of rain during most of the game, made any consistent form of ground gaining slow and uncertain. The first half ended with the score tied 6 to 6, but in the last half the home team put over the needed touch- down to register a victorv. Basket Ball The success of ;iny team depends, not only upon the kind of coaching under which it works, but also, on the kind of practice periods that the team is able to hold. Our team has always been handicapped by the lack of a good court, and this has served to retard the progress that we should have made. However, we can now boast a new gymnasium, and our hopes are much brighter for the future. The success of the past season may partly be judged by the schedule.

However, the outlook for this season is exceedingly bright, and we trust that the game will become one of our most popular sports. Several of last year ' s stars are back in the line- up, and are making good progress. We also have several new men who are getting ofT to a good start. On the whole our prospects for the season are unusually promising. Track Track practice has been delayed this season because of the con- tinued cold weather. Regardless of this handicap, several men have begun training, and are making creditable progress. Arrangements are being made for a class meet, and keen competition is assured. We are also attempting to arrange for meets with other colleges of the state.

WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN If he earns big wages but saves none of it? If he gets money only to let it master him? If his pay envelope be fat and the paying off of debts makes it flat? If he hides his money under his pillow and is robbed of all he has saved? If he builds an imposing financial structure and fails to put a protecting roof over it? If opportunity knocks at his door and he has no money saved to accept her invitation? If he gains the only woman in the world and has no safe fin- ancial prospects too offer her. If he gains a fortune and loses the vision of usefulness and re- sponsibility which it entails? If he lays by a fortune for his children and fails to see that they arc trained in thrift? If he wastes his money and then wastes his time wondering why he was ever so foolish! FARMERS BANK AND TRUST CO.

The General Science class was dis- cussing modern inventions. Now, said Mr. Caudle, Can anyone in the class tell me one thing that did not exist fifty years ago? Lynn Askew: Me! Mr. Weldon : James, what is ]jasteur- ized milk? James Matlock: Milk given by pastur- ed cows. Jim White: have a heart ! Aw Mr. McBee, Mr. McBee: (In Soils class) The way cotton is cultivated in the river bottoms is with a negro, a mule, and a Georgia stock. Each time farmers cultivate their cotton they use a larger sweep. Otha Clark: (A college senior) Mr. McBee, what is a sweep? And since that time the katydids have changed their cry to, What is a sweep? What is a sweep? Prof. Tomlison to JefT Click: How many kinds of clover are there? JefT: There are two kinds. Some clover has three leaves, and some has four leaves. Mr. Dean says, The part of an auto- mobile that causes more accidents than any other is the nut that holds the steer- ing wheel.

Crossno: (on school farm) Can I get into the barn lot through that gate? Yarbrough : Guess so. I just saw a load of hay go through. Why do blushes creep so slowly over a Tech girl ' s face? Because if they ran they would kick up too much dust. Mr. Stewart advises his drainage class as follows : When digging the drainage pits, be sure to dig a hole to put the dirt in. Miss Bryan : Something happened to me yesterday that will never happen to me again if I live to be a hundred. Miss Umbaugh: What was it? Miss Bryan : I was twenty-nine years old.

Agricultural Hydrated Lime Hydrated Lime is mechanically slacked quicklime. Physical- Ij, it is the ideal liming material, as it is a flour-like powder ol extreme fineness, is entirely and immediately water soluble, thereby rendering maximum efficiency as a corrector of soil acidity, and is an essential plant food element. POLAR BEAR Hydrate weighs half as much as pulverized stone and, being a pure form of lime, is four times as efTective. Packed in 50 pound paper bags, it is the most economical material to unload, haul and distribute. Write for our latest bulletin on the frequent application of light dosess of lime immediately before seeding. Prices quoted upon request. Large plant facilities and immediate shipment.

Dad ' s Dciu The first annual Dad ' s Day was observed at Tech in 1924, and it was so successful that announcement was made at that time that it would become a regular annual event. When the dads arrive they are required to register. At this time they receive a badge of green bearing the gold in- scription, My Son ' s Here, or My Daughter ' s Here, as the case may be. The boy and the girl who has no dad wears a white carnation throughout this day. That Dad ' s Day is growing in popularity is evident by a much larger enrollment of parents this year. While the occasion is called Dad ' s Day, mothers are also included in the invitation and many mothers accompany their luisbands. The sons and daughters at . rkansas Tech believe that home loses its very foundation when Dad is gone, therefore, they pay tribute to him while he is here. L. A.
