Bachelor of Science— Agriculture There ' s nothing so sacred as honor, And nothing so loyal as love. A rolling stone from the hills cf Union county, Steven, alias Polo, landed in our midst with every characteristic of a Fresh- man. With his winning personality and abil- ity to make friends he soon won the respect and admiration of all who knew him. We find only one fault, if a fault it may be called, is his inclination toward the so-called weaker sex. Polo ' s belief in the theory that two can live as cheap as one has been somewhat shaken by his experience in the cafeteria, but he wonders if it will not hold true in Dream Cottage. An excellent stu- dent, a loyal friend, a good sport ; what more can be said of a man? Character Builders Sunday School Class; Dia- lectic Literary Society; Treasurer Dairy Club; M. H. A.

The most perplexing one, no douot. is woman. After a siege in his Uncle Sam ' s army, Martin, in the fall of ' 19 pupated and came to A. and M. a full grown, or adult freshman. For the past four years, he has abundantly gathered knowledge from every source; while he stamped the true and high ideas of manhood upon his record, his academic work shows that his idle moments were few. Mar- tin has a pronounced desire to do his duty to his college, his friends, and his country that it may be called the Invincible. The photographer cannot produce his best for his loyalty and friendliness are known and not seen.

Early in his freshman year Addkison re- ceived the title of Doc from his classmates due to his extraordinary scholastic ability. The hard problems of engineering have not proven to be stumps in bis path but rather the rungs to the ladder of bis success. Who in the engineering gang hasn ' t felt their ab solute ignorance as he explains an intricate problem. Doc is a good listener and in this way has gained a great mass of informa- tion. His spirit of congeniality and of help ing tbe other fellow lias made numerous friends. Although be bus chosen engineer- ing as bis profession we feel that he would be equally successful in any line.

ROBERT WALTER ALMOND Starkville, Mississippi. Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education Be fast to hear, but slow to speak, For some day, someichere, our words ice shall meet. Shorty entered our class in tbe i ' all of ' 19, and has since been a loyal and faith- ful member of our banner class of ' 23. He hails from the Rice Belt section of Eastern Arkansas. His present home is in Stark ille, Mississippi. Although he has never been an Honor student at A. and M. he has always done his work well, lie has made a best of friends and is universally liked by the entire stud- ent body. He chose his profession in tbe Held of Vocational Agriculture at the beginning of his Junior year. We. the class of 23 wish for you, Shorty. a lifetime of success and happiness in whatever vocation of life you may pursue. R. O. T. C. Co. A.; I ' vt. Senior: Member Town Prep Club ' 19- ' 23; T. P.

Bachelor of Sctfnci; — Agricultural Education It is not the man who never fails, but the man who rises after each failure, that will wear the crown of honor and success. Out of the Mystic Shadows of Sulli- van ' s hollow, in 1919 stole an ambitious lad with two motives prompting his de- parture : the desire for a knowledge of scien- tific farming and the opportunity to demon- strate his knack with a basketball. Rat has rung true to tbese motives. In his classes he was a leader, and on the basket- ball court he served four years, with the distinction of being Captain of the quintet in his senior year. Grady ' s sterling worth and attractive per- sonality have made for him a host of life- time friends among his college mates. We predict for him an unqualified success in his life ' s work.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education A Icind word for all, A good-will to all. From out of the heart of Alabama there came a pleasant-faced young chap in the fall of ' 19. Quiet, unassuming, industrious, per- severing where others weakened, T. J. pressed forward in his steady, determined way toward the sheepskin goal. T. J. has entered at all times into all forms of out- standing activities, and by his level-headed and conservative thinking has won a place of respect and admiration in the hearts of the men of ' 23. Arant. the best wishes of ' 23 go witu you. may your highest ambition be speedily re- alized, and success, we feel sure, in whatever you undertake, will crown your efforts in the future as in the past Baraca S.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education A pound of pluck is worth a ton of Luck. Henry, better known to his classmates as Red, anions the faithful few, has fought incessantly for the trophy which he is about to receive. To begin to narrate his qualities of luck, or of pluck would be but to end in a draw. Suffice it to say. a more worthy champion. Optimism never had, for he is fighting for his Dip in June to the tune of Turkey in the Straw. Enough could be said without flowers to intimate that he will spend a few happy hours interpreting life ' s problem only to find again that life is not what it seems without a fair damsel to cast at least a single beam. However, with his untiring efforts and perseverance we pre- dict success will be his ladder. Summer Baseball team ' 21; Scrub Baseball ' 22; American Legion: Vice-president Monroe Co. Club; Baraca S.

Cicero came to us iu the early fall of ' 19 with one main purpose in view, to get an ed- ucation regardless of the consequences. His determination and ability is shown by the fact that he has sustained himself four years in college without any financial assistance. Cicero ' s ready wit has made hiin known t everyo ne on the campus. His pleasant dis- position has drawn all his acquaintances in- to his circle of friends. The best wishes of the class of ' 23 are with you. We hope you will do great work in the field of Horticul- ture. Copiah County Club; Horticulture Society; Ad- vanced E. O. T. C.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education The man who eats the most is not always the fattest, Neither is the man who talks the most the icisest. Legs hails from Louisville, Mississippi. Although Legs had gone through experience in the U. S. Marine Corp and the West Point Military Academy, he found none as thrilling as being a Freshman at A. and M. His strong personality and winning smile will win many friends wherever he goes. Legs always asserts that if he had been born rich instead of good looking his cbance in the business world would have been much greater. As a Ladies Man he has no equal. May luck always travel through life with you. Glass ' 23 extends their lest wishes for success in your future vocation. Sec. and Treas. Sophomore Class ' 20- ' 21; Pres. Winston Co.

Bachelor of Science — Chemistry Men of few words are the wisest men. When the smoke cleared away in ' 19, Joe, a very faithful freshman, was found dili- gently pursuing the lines of duty. Since that time he has never varied from this path. A good student, but ithat is not all ; a friend that can be depended upon in time of need. In the field of medicine there are many things to be accomplished and we are sure that Joe Will some day give to the world some great knowledge of this science that will greatly benefit humanity. Since recent- ly experiencing a reversal in love affairs, Joe persists in saying there is no girl for him, but some day she will be found, then all will be well. Private Senior Company. [36] LOUIS J. BAHIN Natchez, Mississippi. Bachelor of Science — Civil Engineering Wit from the first has shown on ages past, Enlightens the present, and shall warm, the last. Drop the curtain on the exponents of the world ' s best wit and humor ; their reputa- tions have crumbled! Present with the Look the heretofore master minds of all time: ; ; they are hopeless. What is the exhuberance of Bacchus, the joviality of Falstaff, the dry- ness of Twain, the drollery of Cobb, and the slang of Lardner beside the increscent star of this Hot Lad of twitching lip and glitter- ing eye — little Louis ! And what kind of chance of making a living have Goethals, — and King — now? Mouty, mouty, slim. For will not the Pride of Natchez, breaking through these walls of restriction, deluge the world in the flood of his intellect? It is spoken ! Pres. A. S. C. E. ; Adams County Club; M. A. S.

Spurred on by visions of higher things and by the promise of a golden-haired seraph, F. D. Shorty, Knee-High, Duck, call him anything but late to Soupee — entered A. and M. with scores of other verdant Freshmen. He aspired to btcome a great Engineer and after four years spent in cross- ing the rigorous Alps of Mathematics has entered upon the Italy of his dreams. Duck also prepared for Life ' s great Post-Graduate course by practically being self-supporting. For one whom Fate has so kindly endowed with all the requisites of Success and Hap- piness, we can only say, God-Speed oie man, and may we all be invited to the nup- tials ! A. A. E. ; M. A. S.

Bachelor of Science — Electrical Engineering A man ' s success depends upon himself. M. P. roamed far from the golden wheat fields of Indiana when he came to A. and M. and decided to hang up his hat here. Four long years ' has he spent in wooing I lie God- dess of Electricity and under the guiding hand of Prof. Pat he lias become so expert along this line of work that we have no doubt that even Steinmetz will have to look to his laurels. Modest and unassuming, he has by earnest efforts and constant burning of the ' •mid- night oil, won a place for himself, both in the hearts of his classmates and in his chosen line of work, Electrical Engineering; JOHN ROBERT BARKLEY Cotton Plant, Mississippi. Bachelor of Science — Dairy Husbandry His corn and cattle will be his only care, And his supreme delight a country fair. John came to us from Union, the county of the Calling Panther. His preparatory work was completed at Mississippi Heights Acad- emy where he graduated with honors. Dur- ing his four years in college he has proven himself worthy of that distinction for he has kept up his academic work and earned his way as well. John is one of the jolliesc and cheeriest boys in the class and beneath the surface is a sterling character and de- termination to win that will carry mm a long way toward that coveted goal — Success. His highest ambition, except to have a home for two, is to own a herd of record- breaking Jerseys and with his ability to judge and manage dairy cattle, we do not doubt but what he will some day have them.

Bachelor or Science — Science A little common sense is worth a hushel of learning. Here it is Gang was the famous expres- sion of one who has been a worthy contri- bution to A. and M. ' s bunch of good fellows. Steve entered with class ' 22 but an interval has been made in his career by one year of coaching and teaching at the Ackerman High School. We are especially glad that he re- turned because he is of that particular cal- iber that any class would be glad to claim him for a member. He is an all-round man in the classroom and a star on tbe gridiron. In the latter he has shown unusual capa- bilities, not only by wearing four bars on his sweater sleeve but he was captain of the squad the past season. It can be said of Steve by all who know him, and everybody knows him, Stay in there Steve we ' re be- hind you to a man. Vice-Pres. ( ' 22) Sophomore Class : President C22) Junior Class; Y. M. C. A.

The gulf coast certainly lost a good fish- erman when Gene packed his old kit bag and set sail for A. and M. College. Perhaps he missed his calling when he entered upon the broad field of agriculture, but we know that if he pursues his life ' s work with the same vigor and enthusiasm as he once pur- sued the little fishes out of the broad Pas cagoula into the Gulf that he will succeed. Gene was elected President of his class in his Freshman year and proved himself well worthy of the honor. As a student and ath- lete he is excelled by none. With his fight- ing spirit he has won a place in the heart of every student as well as the faculty. He is at all times a true friend, a good pal, and a perfect gentleman. We know that when he sails the sea of life in the hands of fate that he will hit the storms with a reef in the mainsail and plow through to the old port Success. Pres.

His strong person- ality and common sense have won the friend- ship and adoration of all of his classmates and Prof ' s. Class ' 23 is glad to claim him as one of her sons. We join in wishing him success and happiness. Kemper Co. Club. [40] SYDNEY NATHAN BOYD Louis, Mississippi. Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education A woman may be shocked if you make love to licr. but is disappointed if you do not. Syd emerged from a Jasper County Oasis during the late months of ' IS, and became a member of the S. A. T. C. here at A. anu M During the heated contest he was loyal, true, and faithful to the end. After the short in- termission Syd again migrated to these parts in the fall of ' 19 a full-fledged member of the class of ' 23. A gentleman by nature, handsome by chance, and wise by experience. He is giiced in many ways, among them be- ing the power to make friends with everyone he meets, and the power to hypnotize many of the fair sex.

There lived a handsome sailor man, Who sailed on every sea. This is Bobbie of the yellow hair and blue eyes ; golden disposition, easy to get along with, and friend of all. Not much of a stu- dent of books, but sophisticated in the ways of the world and ? women. He came to us in ' 19. fresh from a two and a half year term in the Navy, and a good sailor that he is, has weathered every storm. He is a gentleman, student, writer, actor, .ielly-bean. mechanic or bum — as necessity demands. Dependable under all circum- stances, and above all, a friend to man. M. A. S. E. ; A. A.

A gentleman by nature, a student by eboice, handsome by luck, witty by chance, wise by experience — that ' s Jesse. He was captured in the piny woods of Clarke County and landed here in ' 19: a favorite with the ladies and vice versa. He always studies first and entertains afterwards. His constant smile and cheery, Hello. Farmers. has won him a host of sincere friends, and his fair, square policy toward one and all has made him ex- ceedingly popular. Notwithstanding the fact he was always a quiet cadet, we hope he has already won some little M. S. C. W. girl ' s heart. His password is: All comes to him who waits, therefore we believe he will make good wherever he goes. To him, all in the class of ' 23 extend their kindest wishes. Private Co.

From the great Northwest comes Briggs, a dark haired, dark complexioned fellow from the beautiful mountain town of Coeur d ' Alene in the far off Idaho. He had con- quered most of Kipling ' s ifs and will some day conquer all. Needless to say he did his hitch with Sam and came out a sergeant. After two years in the Central Normal School of Danville, Indiana, he has rounded out his course as an honor student here at A. and M.

' Tluto came rushing to us from Winona in the fall of ' IP. This handsome brunette is gifted with a bounteous store of good natured indifference and a con- tumacious self-reliance as well as stubborn- ness. With all his peculiarities and his stub- born nature, Pluto has proven himself to be a prince of good fellows, a good mixer, and a loyal friend.

If a man ' s success in college is any cri- terion as to what his success in life will he, we predict for Chafee an eminent success in his career. He is able to command the esteem and respect of the most cultured and refined people, and yet he is able to conde- scend to men of low estate. Chafee possesses a spirit of friendship and hospitality that has won for him not a few fri ads in the student body. He has not failed to develop any side of the triangle of life which is of vital im- portance to every man. With a mind, a body, and a soul as well developed as that of Chafee ' s. we feel quite safe in saying that success will crown his efforts in the future.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education Happy am I, from care I ' m free, Why ain ' t then all contented like me? This embryo Cincinnatus left his plough standing in the furrow to come to A. and M. to learn the science of Agriculture. He has learned that science by diligent and persist- ent effort. Now he has in mind a model farm, a beautiful wife, n ' everything. He is a com- panionable soul ; a lover of conversation, and a deep thinker. Give him a chance and he will carry both sides of an argument with an ability that will drive you to drink. But this is only part of his nature ; what his very existence demands is feminine society, ever present and ever changing. Useless prides himself on being a man of the world with self-composure enough to get him by any- where. Truly he has heen in over half of the states of the Union and served on the Rhine. In him Agriculture got a strong man. Masonic Club; Bolivar County Club; Baraca S. S. Class; Rifle Team ' 19- ' 20; Leatherneck. fll FRANK DYESS COOPER Sumner, Mississippi. The only clement in luck is genuine, solid, old Teutonic pluck. After gold-bricking over the United States and most of France for fourteen months with Uncle Sam ' s Army, Shorty returned to the land of liberty in the fall of ' 19, and like a true veteran, forgot the ac- tivities of the war and turned his attention to the pursuit of an education. Since that time he has always been on the go, trying to absorb some scientific knowledge in Agricul- tural Engineering. He is a good student, a diligent worker, and a loyal friend to every- one. Shorty ' s aim is high and some day we expect to see him well established on a delta farm. We wish him the greatest of success. Member of A. S. A. E.; Tallahatcbie Co.

His honest, self-assertive characteristics interwoven with his good na- ture have won him a permanent place in the hearts of his classmates. Even though he does not possess that vampish attitude toward the fair ones, he can hold his own when necessary.

He chose as his course of study, Architec- tural Engineering, and as his academic rec- ord shows, he has mastered it. However, Architectural Engineering is only a means to an end, for his highest ideal is to become an artist. Indeed, his future looks bright, and is strengthened by his achievements since he has been in college. His work and inherent ability as an artist have already made for him a reputation among his friends.

Bachelor of Science — Agriculture Frame your mind to mirth and merriment, which oar a thousand harms and lengthen life. Friends do not insure a success in life, but the knowledge of them and their loyalty is a boost toward that goal which none other can surpass. Possessed of a pleasing personality and a mind truly framed to mirth and merriment, George has made for himself a host of friends worthy of the envy of any man at A. and M. Not necessarily an exceptional scholar, but as good as most — a gentleman and as true a pal as a man ever had, he leaves a place that will be hard to fill. The best his class can wish for him is to do as well in future years as he has done in his time among us here. Business Manager Reveille; Chairman Pin Com- mittee; Salamagundi Club; Vice-Pres.

Bachelor of Science — Agriculture and Agricultural Education His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that Nature might stand up And tell the world, ' This is the man ' . A man he came; a man he leaves. His good nature, integrity and keen sense of humor have won the esteem of his fellow- mates and the faculty. These sterling qual- ities, aptness, and judgment will insure his success as a leader. In the spring of ' 17 he joined the Navy. We know that he did his bit in subduing the Hun, for he received five citations for bravery. Although he came to us without one entrance unit, he has cred- itably qualified himself during his four years here and is ready to go out with two dips — a rare feat that takes the majority of us five years to accomplish. G. E., that you may have unbounded success in all of your undertakings is the sincere wish of class ' 23. Masonic Club, Vice-Pres. Baraca S. S. Club ' 21; Pres. Baraca S. S. Class ' 22; Pres.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education So live that when, your life shall end, All men may say, ' I ' ve lost a friend ' . Clayton first entered A. and M. in 1918 during the S. A. T. C. After that organiza- tion disbanded he returned to his home and finished high school. In the fall of 1919 he re-entered as a member of the class ' 23, since which time he has ever been one of its most loyal supporters. A student of ability, wise by experience, and a natural gentleman ; he is capable of applying himself to a task un- til it is completed, regardless of the many temptations which might induce him to quit. B. C, you have made many friends here, and the very best wishes of the class go with you. When you are awarded your degree it may truthfully be said, ' Well done, thou good and faithful servant ' .

So I think I need some help. We know that B. A. came to us, that he has been here his allotted time and is now to take his departure. Just why he came to A. and M. is not a hard question to an- swer. It was most likely due to A. and M. ' s reputation and his good judgment. The use he has made of his time brings on more talk. B. A. has not been as the man who hid his candle under a bushel. We found his shin- ing bright in Sophomore English and Chem- istry. The only time that he hid the candle was during ,the summer normal. It is not likely that he was wholly responsible for this as there was usually the moon and a girl. B. A. has majored in Education with Business in view. This will likely determine the place of departure. We wish him all that is good. Masonic Club: Character Builders S. S. Class; PMlotechnic Literary Society; American Legion.

Winston county is responsible for these few words. Typical of the county from which he came, Hughes entered A. and M. with courage in his heart and a purpose in his soul. His work as a student and his standing in College activities speak for them- selves. As far as the Male of the Species is concerned, Hughes is master of himself, hut he is utterly unable to cope with the winsome graces of milady. In his four years, three in the dormitory, and the last year a town prep, Hughes has formed a host of friends who will join in wishing him a pros- perous and successful future.

Here he began pursuing the sub- ject of Engineering, and after overcoming all sorts of obstacles, such as Mechanics, Am- peres, etc., he has at last caught up with it. We prophesy that be will cut out for him- self a place of honor and fame along the lines of his profession. He has made many friends and by perse- verance and grit has done much toward mas- tering the mysteries of Electricity. Our best wishes go with him as he leaves to enter the real school of life.

Hamp was captured in the hills of Wayne County and sent to A. and M. for ransom. After completing high school, when the call for real men was sounded, he joined hands with our BIG UNCLE. He ' served two years in the army, more than a year of which was with the A. E. F. After being discharged from the army he came to A. and M. and entered with class ' 23.

Jack (to the ladies), or Honey (to his class-mates) joined us in the fall of ' 19 and has been a consistent member of the class ever since. Kemper ' s unbroken string of non-Engineering students was broken when Honey decided to explore the mysteries of hydraulics, calculus, mechanics and the vari- ous other ics required of civilized engin- eers.

Irving has impressed himself upon the stu- dents as few ever succeeded in doing in the same length of time. In him the elements of leadership are harmoniously blended. He is courageous, he has mental poise, and he is alert and resourceful in thinking. He is a handsome, sensible fellow, popular with the students and the ladies, and forms that type of friendship that makes his company pleasant and agreeable. His amiable dis- position and his sincere attention to his work have won for him the admiration of both his classmates and instructors.

JODIE WILSON JOHNSON Evadale, Arkansas. Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education A true gentleman. ' Jodie comes to us out of the lowlands of Arkansas, from the great City of Evadale. On the outside he is a great player and a good mixer, putting all he has in those things which are honorable. On the inside of his college life, he has made a good aca- demic record, and has grown to be a promi- nent member in his class ; his popularity throughout the student body is unlimited. His pleasing disposition and loyalty to duty is to be envied. He some day expects to elec- trify the world with his Agricultural exploits in the Arkansas delta.

After a violent siege in T ' ncle Sam ' s war, Jep turned from familiar haunts in north- west Alabama and reported for duty with the Freshmen then known as ' 23. As the class has carved its record within the portals of A. and M. Jep has played his part well. His pronounced desire to do his duty toward his college, his many friends, and his coun- try place him among the invincible. Our as- sociation with him has found him to be an enemy to none, a true, whole-hearted friend to all. Such characteristics added to his de- termination and zeal assure his success in the outside world. Congratulations to you and yours is the message of ' 23. Alabama Club : Character Builders S. S.

Johnson hails from the great common- wealth of Leake County, and is actually proud of the fact. He came to us in the fall of MO and very soon won his place as an essential part of class ' 23. His generous dis- position and manly character have won the friendship of all who know him. He is not gifted in making noise, but is always in the A-l class when the test comes. The class is unable to obtain any definite information, however, his goal in life is believed to be a modern farm, a brown-eyed girl, and a bung- alow. Go to it, Johnson, old boy.

From the foothills of Neshoba County emerged this long, tall, lanky specimen of Mississippi manhood. The class of ' 23 wel- comed him into its midst without a murmur and soon found that they had gained an ac- tive member. His unusual interest in Vet. Science has won him the name of Doc. Dur- ing his four years of association with ' 23 we are able to recognize very clearly his ability as a leader, accompanied by a personality which has gained him many friends in the faculty as well as in the student body. We admire him for his bull dog tenacity to his clear-cut ideas. These traits of char- acter cannot be defeated; we know you will make good, Doc, and our best wishes go with you.

These are demonstrated in all phases of college life in which he has taken an ac- tive part. He leaves this institution with unlimited possibilities, for a man that has made a success in college will undoubtedly make a success in life. A. and M. is justly proud of him — we want more men like him. The class of ' 23 rejoices in turning him into the world as one of its members to do credit to our Alma Mater.

His loyalty, unselfishness, and wisdom have made him a man worth knowing.

Bachelor of Science — Architectural Engineering I did no more than others did, I don ' t Jcnow where the change began; I started as an average kid, I finished as a thinJcin ' man. Don ' t misjudge him — not dignified — far from it. He is full of the most devilish dev- ilment this side of the imps themselves. Aside from the so-called weaker sex Pat ' s love for a friend ' s cigar is paramount. His to- bacco pouch is not always full either. Due to the hostile disposition of the Sophomores, Pat entered College Activities rather early in his freshman year. One year abroad seems to have increased his love for the fair ones. It is likely that .the salty spray sea- soned him a bit. Decided to be an archi- tectural engineer so he could have time for outside work. Pat is a good fellow by na- ture, a student by chance, and wise by ex- perience. We wish him all that is good. M. A. S. E.: Architectural Society; Character Builders S. S. Class.

This storm passed, on up the state depositing various things at various places. As it passed over A. and M. College it cast from its midst a Greek. He landed lightly upon the campus, picked himself up, and walked casually into the Registrar ' s office and entered the Freshman class. Emmett had just completed a four-year course at a prep school in Biloxi when he came to us. As a Freshman, Emmett was a huge suc- cess, as he possessed everything that a true Freshman should have.

Enlisting in the army during the war as a private, he left as a company commander to come to school, deciding that the pen is mightier than the sword. He is a fluent linguist, and possesses the rare gift of a mathematical brain. Omar is a world traveler and an astute philosopher. He served in the British Merchant Marine, toiled in the Canadian wheat fields, rode the mesas of New Mexico, and once resided in Bagdad- on-the-Subway.

Wherever and whenever Freeland lays aside dissertation on the theory of molecules, and devotes his time to the practice on mo- lars, one thing is certain : regardless of the location of his main extracting emporium, two branch offices will be located in Colum- bus. For it may be asserted without con- tradiction that he has been variously mis- taken for the superintendent of the S. D. Lee High School, the head waiter of the Bell Cafe, and the night watchman at M. S. C. W.

Mac did his bit by serving almost a year in the A. E. F., and came to us in the spring of ' 20. He has made many friends here, and as a result of his untiring work has been able to store up a bountiful supply of technical agricultural knowledge.

Quiet and unassuming, he. nevertheless, stands up for what he thinks is right, and has made a host of friends at A. and M. He is just as popular with the ladies, but seemingly b is heart is made of stone. His ambition is to get a good hold on the finances of the world, and judging from bis college career, we have no doubl but that he will succeed. Copiah Co.

Bachelor of Science — Electrical Engineering Well read, well bred, and full of wit, Witli a welcoming grin, and a hearty grip. If the ability to juggle hearts is as simple for Konny as is the manipulation of watts and amperes, some member of the weaker sex is doomed ' . Since his entrance in the fall of ' 19 he has been a loyal and enthusiastic promoter of the great science of engineering. and his record with Pap Herbert will bear witness that his personal efforts have been of the highest standa rds. Apart from the academic side of his college life, Konny has made for himself, through his qualities as a gentleman, as well as a regular fellow, a host of friends who will always think of him as a man who characterized the best type of a real college man.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education All sense ' without common sense is non- sense. Mack is a specimen from Attala County, and joined the class in the fall of ' 19. He has won many friends by his jovial nature. For social functions he cares little, and for military less. Mack has a bright future be- fore him if his past record bespeaks any- thing, as he has practically paid his expenses by working while in college. His ambition is to have an ideal farm. V everything somewhere near McAdams; and we believe that if hard work means success, he is sure to win.

Mac is a great lover of good stock, hence has centered his endeavors in the de- partment of Animal Husbandry. Lad, as he is sometimes known among his classmates, with his likeable disposition and sterling character, has not only won the devout friendship of the students, but has outwitted the metropolis of Starkville for one of its fairest young ladies as his wife.

Bachelor of Science — Electrical Engineering Woman is man ' s bread of life; I ' m getting hungry. A typical Gob by nature, a student by choice, and a parlor snaker by trade. Ma- jor joined our Freshman ranks after two years of gallant service for Uncle S ' am on the high seas. He is a model of steadied serenity and screened activity; an engineer of first water, friendly and affable, with a sunny evenness of temper. Major can write Efficiency as his middle name with- out offending anyone. He has high ideals and an amazing control of his powers. His adeptness at love-making, coupled with fre- quent visits to the Delta, has won the Eve for some bungalow — we hope.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education Admired by his class, Loved by a lass. We were favored with this dreamy, fanci- ful, companion from Green County the sum- mer following his discharge from Uncle Sam ' s force. We can remember Charlie when he first came to us — quiet and modest, but still with that air which said he was deter- mined to win. And win he has. Charlie is one of the men who has caused our blood to tingle with pride at the thought that we are members of the good old class of ' 23. He is a hard worker ; a man of good common sense, combined with high ideals. His ac- tive part in the literary society and all other phases of college life has placed him among the better known of our class. Charlie plunged right into the heart of things, and now is at the end of things so far as a Bachelor ' s degree is concerned, but we pre- dict he will soon detach the bachelor part and draw on his adept at love making.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education Don ' t stand and just look on, ' Till Fate ' s good things unfold; Your time will soon be gone; So make a hit — take hold. Take hold is just what he did, this prod- uct of old Jefferson County. He is practic- ally the same now as he was four years ago, except that he has learned about eight years ' worth since then. Herbert cares but little for your romance and society, but if he went in for it he would be successful, as he is in everything he undertakes. Being a rather conservative fellow, he is somewhat non- committal on the subject of his future, and we cannot say what will happen when he bucks the world, but we would not bet on the world.

Just where John hails from is a mystery, but for all practical purposes Baldwyn will answer as well as any. John does not be- long to the National Society of Heart Breakers. but he has a little love spree on just the same, which we hope will terminate successfully for the bride. He is admired by His classmates for his open heart and good nature. He counts his friends few, al- though he has many, and he is true in every respect to those on his list. His hobby is machinery, and especially that which has re- sistance, reluctance, and impedence connected with it. His friends join in wishing him success and happiness through life. M. A. S. E. ; A.

Mitch stepped into A. and M. ' s political arena in ' 17. His million dol- lar smile and unassuming assertiveness placed him at the head of the Freshman class. After giving one year of his life to his Uncle at Camp Taylor, Mitch gave u p his shave tail commission and two years later entered the fraternity of Ole ' 23. A magnetic personality has drawn him the loyal friendship of his classmates. To Mitch goes the honor of being our first intercolle- giate boxer and instructer in the fistic art.

He has made rapid progress along this line, already he knows how to make synthetic circus lemonade, remoe warts by a chemical process, prepare a cure for winter heat, and extract spots from the seat of trousers. Yes, he can do all these things and some more. He can make old Kemper County proud to own such a son. He is considered one of the best football men that A. and M. ever produced. He is a sturdy gentleman, a studious scholar, a jolly good sport, and a friend to everybody. His college activities have been evenly distributed. He has been a diligent worker in the Y. M. C.

In his four years here Roger has acquired a host of friends, and an enviable academic record. He has proven himself capable of the most difficult of engineering problems — even to that of building a railroad through Itawamba County. For a day of labor there could not be found a better partner, and for one of pleasure a more pleasing companion. As he is handsome and endowed with a per- sonality which attracts the ladies, there is little likelihood of his attacking life ' s prob- lems alone. It is our fond desire that Dame Fortune may continue to illuminate his pathway until he has attained the pin- nacle of success. Then will the class of ' 23 glory in his victory. M. A. S. E. ; A. A.

Even though the pursuit of said sport has made him appear somewhat hermit-like, all who know him have found him to be a good all-round man.

He at once set to work at what seemed to him the gigantic task of earning a diploma. He liked the job so well that he has remained here during the sum- mer terms, though the presence of the Nor- malites du ring those periods may have had something to do with it as well as his love of Chemistry and Physics. During this time his strong character and straightforward manner have won for him a host of friends.

He has been a loyal mem- ber of ' 23 from its beginning, aud we are proud that he belongs to our class. Pe- wee ' steadfast character, sunny disposition and sturdy will has made him well known and liked by all. His record at A. and M. is one to be proud of. He has been active in all phases of college life that go to make a real man. a jolly good sport on the camp- us, a deserving student in the class room, and a friend to everyone. Pewee is fond of music and brown eyes, and, although we know nothing definite, we have an idea that he has been captivated by some fair one who has both of these qualities.

Bachelor of Science — Civil Engineering May our purses always be heavy And our hearts always light. Bill, having done his bit in the pursuit of the Huns, came to A. and M. fired with desires of being a civil engineer. He at once demonstrated his rare intellectual ability by successfully passing the Graveyard and Freshman English. As a student, none could excell him: as a friend, none could be truer; as a man. none could be better. These traits have made him popular among his friends and classmates.

Fatty won a host of friends among the student body through his friendly and sports- manly qualities. His schedule has always been heavily loaded, but his ability to look upon hard work as a pleasure has helped him to make his grades such that they are to be envied by everyone. Under the influence of his able professors, he has acquired the am- bition to make Mississippi one of tbe great- est agricultural states in the south. Though he seems to have tried to plan his future life to contain only himself, we feel perfectly safe in prophesying his future to consist of several more than he. himself.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education We have no right to exact of others things we arc not willing to do ourselves. Those who believe that environment deter- mines, to a great extent, the character of a man, are not without a very striking example at A. and M. The hills of Itawamba, stem and imposing, transmitted to the character of a certain youg man some of their iirrn- ness and strength. Welch has shown that he possesses some of the most splendid at- tributes of manhood. His college career has been above reproach. He came here without an entrance unit and finished in four years. His academic record tells how well he ap- plied himself, and his standing in the stu- dent body is proof of his conduct. He is loyal to his friends, and unswerving in his devotion to A. and M.

Bachelor of Science — Agricultural Education With what I ' ve read of heaven, and what I ' ve heard and saw, I ' m feeling almost certain, it ' s some place in Arkansas. Back in the autumn of 1919, from the un- explored regions of Arkansas, there appeared a verdant Freshman. Greenest of the green was he, but immediately he began to remedy this condition. Early in his freshman ca- reer he began to demonstrate his ability, both in athletics and along academic lines. He took an active part in class football, basket- ball and track. A rare distinction, of completing the regular course in Agricul- ture with honors, in three years, was his. Though getting his Dip in ' 22, he remained a loyal standard bearer of the class of ' 23. Earl is back with us again this year taking post-graduate work in Agricultural Educa- tion and assisting in the Zoology Laboratory. Future years will find him a settled peda- gogue — down in Arkansas. Pres. Arkansas Club ' 22; V.-Pres. Dialectic- Lit. Society ' 22: Demosthenian Club: Capt.

After many thrilling experiences at home and abroad while serving his country as a soldier, Pike realized the value of an educa- tion and came to A. and M. in the fall of ' 19 to obtain it. He applied himself earnest- ly and conscientiously to learn the allied sciences of agriculture. His friends say that he is an exceptionally quick thinker. Not only can he quickly and clearly think in the present, but he can foretell events in our or- dinary affairs of life, and even in politics, with astounding accuracy.

Sir Sid never has very much to say about himself, and it is probable that if he were writing this, most of it would lie about his girl. He says that there are only two things in the world as blue and mysterious as the sea, and that they are his girl ' s eyes. We don ' t know about that, but we do know that she surely is a lucky girl.

[123] T he Fraternit}) of ' Ole ' 0.3 One for All — All for One X I he third day of June, A. M. gives the world of work her greatest gift — the class of twenty-three — one hundred and eighty trained men. May each member of this class, which has proven itself worthy to bear the stamp of its Alma Mater be a living example of the ideals that his college has ever held before him. Let every member of this class remember that he is not leaving Aggie days, but that he is on the threshold of life where the principles and ideals of the ' ole fraternity of ' 23 are just as applicable as they were in the davs back at A. M. To the class of ' 23 goes the unprecedented distinction of being not only the largest Senior class in the history of the college, but also the largest aggre- gation of Freshmen that ever assembled at A. M. Yes, we began in a big way — 647 strong. Our first opportmiity for spectacular achievement presented itself on the gridiron. Curr Freshman football team entered the Class Cham- pionship series confident ; they emerged victors and ' ole ' 23 was placed on the talnk. At the conclusion of the basketball season we were again hailed as champions. In many other activities of the college the Freshmen began early to show their affinity for predominance. In our Sophomore year our ranks had been thinned somewhat, but our loss in numbers was generously replaced by a gain in spirit and a realization that we were no longer Freshmen, but Sopho- mores. The close of the year found the class of ' 23 with few regrets looking forward with confidence to the two remaining years. A noticeable and outstanding characteristic of our Junior year was that of class unity. This was due largely to the efforts of our unselfish leaders and the co-operative spirit of the individual members of the class. The spirit of ' ole ' 23 was felt in every phase of college life at A. M. We furnished our quota of athletes to the Varsity teams ; our debating teams won every debate in which they were represented and our representatives in the Y ' ' and other religious work made commendable records. The most important event of the year for us was the Junior b anquet — an occasion that will long be remembered as a pleasant memory to those that were there. At this gastronomic mara- thon the ties binding the class were drawn closer, the noble ideals of the class were revealed and the organization for the oncoming Senior year was perfected. Success to the Senior class was not a restricted term applying to physical development. It meant the development of the all- ' round man. It meant intellectual and moral as well as physical achievements. In athletics our class is represented bv nine letter men in football, three in basketball and track men holding national records in their events. The moral achievement of the class is revealed bv its influence in the Y and similar organizations. The record of our ' 23 Varsity debaters speaks for itself. They have suffered defeat only on one occasion. It may be said without any egotism that the final product and influence of class ' 23 is development of the all- ' round man. It is with regret that class ' 23 leaves the walls of its Alma Mater. It feels a cherished love for the college of which it is a part. But, Fellows, ' ere we depart from the school we love. Let ' s drink to the spirit, unseen. That has kept us together and made of us men, The fraternity of ' ole ' 23. M. D. W., Historian. [124] JVNIO . fhMjuJh m Myi YAcuu . — - [J 26] [127] GEORGE W.

We have crossed the stream of success and pride, surmounted the peaks of adversity, plodded through helds of hidden mysteries, and overcome mountains of oppo- sition. Green — aye. we were somewhat verdant when we came here but beneath that texture of chlorophil there exists the virgin color, gold. In the many phases of college life, the true color soon came to light. In athletics, in literary societies, in classrooms, and in social life, class ' 24 at once proved itself a leader. It is with pride that we look back on our Freshman year when our fighting eleven , after successive attempts won for ' 24 the class football championship. It was with happy hearts and a determined mind that we returned Oct. 21, 1921, for our second year. We meant to play the game and play it fair. During this year we had men placed on the varsity football, baseball, basket- ball, and track teams. We stood for that which makes a greater A. and M. and a more useful and efficient life. The battle is now three-fourths won and ' ere many moons we will have passed from Juniordom into Seniordom. After that, the love, the friendship, and the imperishable memories of our noble band will pass into the history of our Alma Mater. M. B. LUCKETT, Historian. 148 1 150] [1511 [152] Sophomore Class History X October 15, 1921, three hundred and fifty of the strongest, truest, and noblest lads of the land, the pick and pride of the high school and prep school graduates, sallied forth to conquer and master those things which go to make us rich in the sphere of understanding. Taking as their slogan that time-worn, but never- theless true, adage Knowledge is power , these ambitious youths persevered in that search already begun in their high schools. The diligence which the class displayed in their efforts to ob- tain a higher conception of life is exemplified by the fact thai nearly ninety per cent of those who started out on tins adventure returned to their Alma Mater in the fall of ' 22. As Freshmen the class proved to be of a strictly fresh variety. Thai they were endowed with that germ called pep is illustrated by their exhibi- tion in nocturnal attire at the L. S. U. football game, where, led by their famous Mile-A-More Band , a parade was given that can never be equalled again. Later in the year, some of the more adventurous spirits, it is said, seeking more action, quietly but resolutely climbed the tank and gently erased the numerals so deal ' to their rulers and emblazoned their own ' 25 in large mocking black numbers. This display of nerve caused considerable commotion among the Sophomores, and as a result many Freshmen lost for the time being their hir- sute adornment. The class of ' 25 is well represented in all of the major sports at A. M. and bids fair to contribute still further in the future. On the gridiron, the diamond, and the track the men of ' 25 are ever in the front, striving to bring A. M. nearer her dream of supremacy in Southern athletics. For a college man the Sophomore year is the critical year; and, although some fell by the wayside during the mid-year exams, there are still a goodly number left to carry out the lofty purpose of the Class. The (Mass has contri- buted to the upbuilding of the spiritual, moral, and intellectual standards (if the student body in every possible way.

From the very first this famous class was noted for its splendid spirit and enthusiasm and also for its brilliant possibilities in both athletic and aca- demic work. The Freshies were loath to obey the harsh laws set down by the upper classmen, but after a bit of gentle (?) persuasion, some of them finally agreed to them. Many were the talents found in this class. In all the branches of activity the ' Freshies were well represented. Especially was this true in the athletic field. Judging from the good showing and the record made by our class so far, A. and M. need have no fears for the future material of her varsity teams. However, as some one has said, Success is the result of unceasing labor ' . and so. Class of ' 26, strive to do your best and — do if ! B. M. Cole.

Lee, Confederate States Army, elected first president of college. 1936 The National Defense Act passed by Congress, providing for a more effectual organization for the protection of the nation, and including the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. The object of the Reserve Offi- cers ' Training Corps being to provide systematic military training at civil educational institutions for the purpose of qualifying selected stu- dents for appointment as reserve officers in the military forces of the United States. And also to add to the educational resources of schools and colleges and to give to the student a training which will be as valuable to him in his industrial or professional career as it would if the Nation should call upon him to act as a leader in its defensive forces. 1918 Installation of the Students ' Army Training Corps as a war measure. 3919 Post-war reorganization of Military Department by installation of units of Infantry and Coast Artillery of the Senior Division Reserve Officers ' Training Corps. |198| mmm Nlictinons 1991 C.H.CUNNINGHAM ART EDITOR [2001 [2or [2021 MISS LILLIAN MULLINS [203] 1THE REJEXECTOR IM ' lil 1S1IK1) WEE IL [204] I ® §0 @ ©o@ p-. 3 @ o [2051 [2061 Public Speaking — Its Place Public speaking made its debut into our college walls several years ago. but it is just now gaining the long deserved place among the important phases of college life. It is no longer known as a course alone but as a college activity as well. The Demosthenean Club was organized for the purpose of creating an in- centive for, and furthering the movement of public speaking in the student body. It serves the same purpose as the varsity squad of our athletic teams. A. M. not only maintains a high standard in athletics but in debating as well. We are justly proud of our debating teams. They are just as responsible for the lofty name of our Alma Mater as the team on the gridiron, the diamond, in the cage, or on the cinders. It was long ago recognized that a man ' s ability was not only measured by what he knew, but by his ability to express intelligently that which he did know. Debating, like football and baseball, makes considerable use of cunning, of careful planning of headwork. Debates are won by policies, by careful planned systems, by ingenious arguments, by strategies, and outguessing opponents. The keenest delight is taken in a victory which is a result of careful planning, of long pondered strategy, or of some discovery achieved by the sweat of the brain. 12081 o QooSJ I gooQ-o6 ' OQ-C3Q ' ii W goo ?-°° =3!

KLINDWORTH, Catcher Hov? trie 1 922 Team Became S. I. A. A. Champions Long in the hearts of A. and M. will remain the memory of the great baseball team of 1922 and the record that they made for their Alma Mater. The mere act of inflicting a four game shut-out on their time honored rivals Ole Miss was a tradition within itself; but losing only three games out of a possible seventeen against strong S. I. A. A. competition is a record un equaled in the entire Southland. Dudy Noble has truly proved himself to be a great baseball coach. From what two years was raw material he produced a team of championship caliber. The outstanding stars were: Captain Cotton Klindworth, catcher; Lefty Rawls, first base; and Monroe Mitchell, pitcher. Cotton was the snappiest little leader and the best receiver in the South. Lefty was noted for the fact that he could always be depended to knock a home run at the critical moment. Mitchell the pitching Ace lost only one game, and had close to a hundred strike-outs for the season. Austin was another pitcher of high caliber. In the Ole Miss series he allowed a sole hit during the twenty innings that he remained in the box. The Aggie infield contained a tine collection of fielders with good throw- ing arms. Pee Wee Howell covered scads of ground at second, going al- most errorless for the season. Buddy Myers, the Freshman was clean and accurate in throwing, while Judge Little was a regular Groh around the hot corner . Fowler. Tip Parker, Is Turner, and Ty Cobb had the care of the outfield. This hard hitting, fast, fielding aggregation was a great asset to the team. [239] % law MITCHELL Pitcher AUSTIN Pitcher LITTLE 3rd Base The season opened with a road trip to L. S .U. and Spring- Hill. The Tigers were defeated easily in the first game, but eame back strong the next day on won, 6-5. The same performance was repeated at Spring Hill, the Aggies winning the first game, 14-5, and losing the second, 8-0. On the campus, the University of Illinois won both of their games, 6-3 and 9-3. The next Northern invader was tied 5-5 in the first game and the Aggies had an easy win the next day, 6-1. Very few colleges have had a more successful road trip than the Maroons had last season. After defeating the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, they walked away with the strong Yanderbilt nine. 6-0 and 9-3. Suanee was defeated 6-0 in the first game and a home run by Pee Wee Howell gave the Aggies the best of a 2-lscore. Back on the campus, the first tilt was lost to the famous University of Texas longhorns and the second game was won, 8-5. Oglethorpe won their first game. 2-1. and lost on the next day. 4-1. Ole Miss had their usual strong team and was imbued with the idea of Avhitewashing their unbeloved rivals. The final result was that they lost all four games of the series. Austin proved a Jonah to the Red and Blue, pitching 20 innings against them and allowing only one hit. The last game, an eleven inning affair, on the Oxford campus, was won in the eleventh by Lefty ' Rawls home run. In the seres with the University of Alabama, the first game was lost and the second game won. The two campus games with them were to decide whether A. and M. could claim the S. I. A. A. championship. Klindworth ' s triple in the first game and Mitchell ' s pitching gave the Aggies a 4-0 win. Things looked bad the next day until the 12th inning when Lefty Rawls poled a three bagger and later scored on Littles hit. the game ending, 3-2. [2401 RAWLES 1st Base MYERS Short Stop TURNER Right Field After losing only three games out of a possible 17 against strong Southern competition, the Maroons claimed the S. I. A. A. championship. The Univer- sity of Georgia had a record that compared favorably ■with that of the Aggies and every effort was made to arrange a series with them on the campus or at Athens but without success. In view of the fact that the Georgia team was un- willing to play off a deciding series and because of the fact that A. and M. had a higher percentage of victories against Southern teams for the season, the Aggies had a clear title to S. I. A. A. honors. The complete record of Miss. A. M. for the season Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. Miss. A. A. A. M 14 M. M. M. M. M.

[2441 How It All Happened Football throughout the season of 1!)28 was followed by a particularly malevolent jinx, but the records show that he was pretty well foiled. We have no outstanding alibis. However, the greatest handicap apparent from the first. was the lack of experience. There being no one place cinched on the team. Coach Dndy had the problem of hammering and pounding into form some- body to till the big gaps left by Wilson. Henley. Klindworth. Taylor. Jacob, McKenzie, Minyard, Hough. Little, and Bell, all M men. This was no easy thing to do. On the other hand we were fortunate to have Huff, Lane, and Blair, Veterans of the ' 21 team. With Dudy Noble at the helm and Coach Ofstie first mate, a seemingly first squad was chosen after the usual preliminary practice, the less lucky ones being given the option of carrying on with the rats , or of rejoining the red Comforter Club. The season opened auspiciously. Birmingham Southern being the first victim to the tune of 14-0. The team made a hue showing of early season form. The Maroons scored in the first quarter when Clark took a 15 yd. pass from McGowan and raced 20 yds. across the v isitors goal line. The second touchdown came in the last cpaarter when Cameron touched the ball down behind the visit- ors goal line. BARNETT Fullback BLAIR Center PERKINS Quarter 1245| ' ' Gene ' ' Barnett proved that his ' ' rep ' ' was well deserved but there follows another sad story. He sustained a fractured collar bone in the second quarter which incapacitated him for two games. Howard College was next taken into camp. This game was a distinct dis- appointment. The team played rather ragged football throughout, in sharper contrast to the brand of football it had shown in the previous game. The Howard lads had an aggregation that was fast and hard to stop, and when the game ended the score was a 0-0 tie. McGowan sustained a broken finger which was a handicap throughout the season. It had been arranged by higher authorities, some time hence, that when the State Fair at Jackson was held, one of the main attractions of said fair be the annual game of football between our ancient rivals, Ole Miss. and A. M. And it was on the 21st day of October that we met. The crowd, estimated at 15,000. was said to have been the largest ever assembled in the state to witness a football game. The game furnished a thrilling end for the fair. McGOWAN Fullback CAMERON Halfback SAUNDERS Quarter [246] Showing an unexpected reversal in form in the second half, when they were apparently beaten Ole Miss. scored on A. M. for the first time since 1917. A. M. by desperate fighting in the fourth quarter, staved off impending defeat and won by a score of 19-13, making it 10 straight from the University. Bar- nett, crippled though he was, was the hero of the occasion. It was his wonder- ful power at tearing through the Ole Miss. line that accounted for the three A. M. touch downs. It was in this game that Jazz Luckett was distinctively picked out as an all state half back. The Maroons victory over Ole Miss. was a costly one. The loss of Joe Hooker Huff, star linesman, Dewey Lane at end, and Noll Davis in the backfield, was one distinctively felt throughout the remainder of the season. These places being hard to fill, found us almost unprepared for the Tulane Greenie ' s game that followed on October 28. The whole team fought hard in this game but the Green wave flanked and skirted our ends for a 26-0 victory. The Maroons, having tasted their first defeat, returned home fully deter- mined to lick Oucahata. The Razor Backs ca me and gave us all we bidded for, but with the head work of B Saunders at quarter and Bill Clark in true form at half, we held the Ozarkers to a 7-7 tie. GATCHEL Center MYERS Left Guard MOTT Tackle [247] This game added new pep to the whole aggregation, and a week of real work followed. It was at this time that Jones, Myers and Henson were pretty well hammered into form for guards. With Gatehel and Blair at center, Low, Hub- bard and Mott holding down the tackles with Gibbs nabbing for a place, and Pete Noble and Tommy Lynch at ends that the line was at its best. The game with Tennessee on Armistice day was one long to be remembered. Although the Bulldogs suffered their second defeat, the score does not indicate the strength of the learn or the lack of pep. When Lady Luck deserted us the Bulldogs fought still harder. And as the newspapers put it, the Aggies carried the memory of a hard fought, well played game. They have the memory of McGowan and Barnett ' s smashing drives through the Vols line; the perfect goal that Big Mac booted from the 28 yd. line; and the marches down the field to thi ' shadow of Tennessee ' s goal. — only to be thwarted in their purpose of scorina ' . Our line was an equal match for the Vols line although they out- weighted us. Capt. Blair at center was the leading star for our line, with Jones. Low. and Noble close behind. JONES Right Guard HUFF Left Guard I 248 I It was a partisan crowd at the game. The student body and the band went on a special train, and were joined by Alumni and old students from far and near. They added decidedly to the pep of the team and never let the cheers lag, even in the face of defeat. The next game resulted in a victory for A. M. over L. S. U. on October 18 at Baton Rouge. A perfect forward pass hurled by McGowan into the arms of Luckett, followed immediately by Barnett ' s 15-yard run around left end for a touchdown, which netted the Aggies a 7-0 victory. With the big game of the season still ahead the Bulldogs pivoted by Capt. Blair and piloted by Dudy Xoble, returned to camp with the hope of stopping the Minn, shift from Iowa. These plans however, did not materialize when Boelter ' s teammates paved the way through our lesser weight line for his consecutive dashes for five touchdowns. We do not have any alibies. The LOW Right Tackle HUBBARD Left Tackle 12491 Missouri Valley champions had a scoring machine that outclassed any team the Maroons met during the season. Our lone touchdown stood out as a record with- in itself, we being the second team to score on them during the whole season. Score 48-6. Last, hut not least, was the Turkey Day battle with the Alabamians. Five days after the Dad ' s Day Drake game, the Maroons met the turbulent onslought of the Crimson tide. The team showed the usual Bulldog tenacity of fighting to the end. At no time were Barnett, Perkins, or Big Mac ever able to penetrate the stonewall of the Crimson line. The game ended 59-0 in Alabama ' s favor. Thus came to a close the 1922 season. Seemingly, it appears as an unsuccess- ful one, but when we stop to reti ' ospect we know that the best of teams must lose, and to lie a good winner you have got to he a good loser. We know that we played the game fair. LYNCH Left End NOBLE Right End LANE Left End 1250] The Lineup at the end of the season : I,. E. — Tommie Lynch L. T.— J. L. Hubbard L. G.— W. J. Myers C. — S. H.

On this day they engaged in the hrst encounter of the season, and the troops from L. S. U. went down under their terrific on- slaught, 36 to 25. The following night they again met, and again L. S. U. was defeated, 35 to 20. After their victories in Baton Rouge, the Maroons advanced on New Orleans, where they were re- pulsed by Tulane University, 45 to 34. This was the first and worst defeat A. M. received during the season, and in the second game with Tulane the Aggies emerged victorious, 30 to 27. After this game the Bull Dogs re- turned home to defend their own battlements, which were threatened by Millsaps. This team was routed in the first encounter, 32 to 13, but defeated the Aggie five in the second game, 27 to 19. So far A. M. had played six games, and lost but two. Vanderbilt University, on the 27, inflicted the third defeat in one of the best games ever witnessed on the home court. Score: 34 to 27. On February 12 the Aggies again took the field, and advanced on Ole Miss. Again they defeated the Oxford cohorts, 28 to 26, but in a counter-at- tack the following night Ole Miss, was victorious, 30 to 27, and the Aggie five entrained for Memphis. Here they en- countered the strong forces of the Memphis Y , and by sheer grit and determination won the day, 32 to 22. But three more games remained, and two of them were counted the hardest of the season. Coach Hayes brought his troops from Memphis, and en- camped on the home court, awaiting the arrival of Mississippi College and Georgia Tech. Mississippi College was dispersed, 28 to 18. and Tech., in a clean and fast game, also went down, BRYANT 45 to 31. Alabama yet remained. A. Forward CAPT.

I. A. A. the Mississippi Aggies had snatched the emblem of victory, and departed with the title of Southern basketball champions. On February 28, the last day of the month in which she began her winning streak, A. M. eliminated Furnam.

To A. M. went the honor of placing two men on the All-Southern five. All of the Maroon players were good, Cap- tain Anderson and Bryan, who leave this year, and whose places will be hard to fill, Gatchell, Perkins, Norris, Cooley. and Turner all fast and hard-fighting men, but to Gatchell and Perkins go the honors of All-Southern.

The team was in hest condition when they won the May Day Invitation meet at Birmingham. This was the largest meet in which A and M took part, there being a larger number of schools represented and a keener class of competition than at any other meet. Louisiana State University nosed us out of first place at the S. I. A. A. meet at Baton Rouge by a margin of only a few points. The team took dual meets from both Tulane and Georgia Tech. by a good score. The relay team won in both meets. In the track events the team was especially strong. Spencer, Ellis, Mor- row, Webb, Cochran, Clark, Murff, Robinson and Cameron showed up splendid- ly during the season in their respective events. The work of the field event men was more balanced than in the previous season. The team felt keenly the loss of Williford in the shot and discus. Men are developing, however, who will be able to represent us in these events very well in another season. Brunson showed up very well in the high jump, tying for first place with two other contestants. Priester, a freshman, took second place in the javelin throw. Three men, Cochran, Ellis, and Spencer, were picked to represent A. and M. at the National Intercollegiate meet held at Chicago in June. Cochran won first place in the quarter mile while Ellis took a third place in the low hurdles. Spencer drew a field of record holders in this event, the mile, and was unable to place. The seven points that our three men won gave A. and M. seventh place in the meet out of a total of fifty two colleges represented. As a whole the 1922 season was very successful. Our relay team took the trophy in the S. I. A. A. and this year we expect to lower the record. We regret very much the loss of Ellis and Webb, who graduate this year, but Coach Hayes will manage somehow to find new men to fill their places.

They are on great generators used by electric light and power companies ; and on lamps that light millions of homes. They are on big motors that pull railway trains ; and on tiny motors that make hard housework easy. By such tools electricity dispels the dark and lifts heavy burdens from human shoulders. Hence the letters G-E are more than a trademark. They are an emblem of service— the initials of a friend. GENERAL ELECTRIC [392] Senior Director}? (Continued from Pag; 375) NAME Smith, W. T.
