Walker, B.Sc. President M.Sc, Ph.D. Dr. Walker has been associated with the College for 49 years. It has been largely through his earnest and untiring work that the Mississippi A. and M. College has become one of the outstanding colleges of the South. He received his degree from the Mississippi A. and M. College in 1883, and became an instructor of Mathematics upon- graduating. He received the degree of Master of Science upon completion of a three-year Summer course at the University of Virginia. In 1888, when he became head of the Department of Mathematics, he spent a year at the Universities of Gottingen and Berlin He then studied fifteen months at the University of Chicago. His solution of a celebrated problem dealing with the mathematics of curves, which had proved a stumbling-block to the world ' s greatest mathematicians since the time of Newton, gave him world wide recognition and placed his name in the Mathematical Hall of Fame. He presented this solution as a thesis for his Doctorate. He organized the Engineering School in 1902 and became its first dean. Eleven years later he was appointed vice-president and two years ago he was elected president. He entered as a Sophomore, and set his eyes on the president ' s chair. Forty-seven years of hard work placed him there. That shows what you can do if you want to bad enough. Herbert, Vice-President Professor Herbert keeps the registrar ' s office, teaches political science, signs permits occasion- and finds time on Sunday mornings to make inspections, besides. He makes political science look like taking gumdrops away from children, and then shows the boys on final exam that things aren ' t always what they seem. Next to a good cigar he likes to see things looking right on inspections. He has been the friend and advisor of many students whose sons are here now, and without him this would hardly be A. M. Dr. Moody can cover more pages of physics per unit time than anybody we ever expect to see. He starts the hour off with a bang by a ten-minute quizz usually, and the mortality is high. Sometimes with most profs you can tell about what they are going to ask, but that doesn ' t apply here at all. The doctor likes football about as well as the next one, from all appearances. He intimates that ice boating is a decent sport, too — something you can break your neck at without half trying. Dr. Hand is as good a friend as you can find — here or anywhere else. He is never too busy to talk to you when you drop in, and he will do anything on this green earth for you if it ' s possible. He has made the chemistry department here equal to anything in the South. If he needs some special equipment that isn ' t being made, he doesn ' t worry any — just goes down in the lab and builds it. He may be absent-minded to the point of forgetting what he was lecturing about, but he doe i ' t forget friends, and that ' s what counts. We bet there ' s not another college anywhere around that sports as many deans that are keen fellows as A. M. Prof. Lipscomb is right in there, we say. Most deans can ' t see you with a telescope and a double pair of glasses unless you are in their school, but you don ' t have to be an Ag man to rate with him. He ' s ready for a bull session ' most any time, and incidentally, he ' s about as well up on all phases of Agriculture as anyone your liable to run across. Prof. Weddell and English are the same words. As a matter of fact, words are his hobby. The unabridged dictionary up in classroom looks like it had been through the Battle of Shiloh, so many fellows have had to use it. He picks them to pieces (the words), and examines each letter minutely. If you aren ' t careful you will use such correct words after taking his course that your roommates won ' t know what ' s happened to you. 22 Professor Wallace, better known as Graveyard, has the correct idea that Freshmen don ' t know anything about math when they come out of high school, so lie starts them off right in Engineering by giving them something to worry about in the shape of Algebra and Trigonometry. He bears down on Factoring. He likes to see) you know something about functions of an angle, too. A lot of the boys go back to the hardware and grocery business after taking a few of his quizzes, so he is quite a help to the engineering- profession. Professor Gladney, otherwise known as King, heads the Civil Engineering department. If you know Strength you are all right. Otherwise, he would rather see you back at home with the folks. Don ' t ever intimate to him that all Civil Engineers do is survey ground. It might be dangerous, or worse. He goes over to the window occasionally and puts his foot 1 on the radiator. When that happens, sit tight and hold everything, because he is getting ready then to put up some bending moment equations about twenty-seven feet long. Professor Carroll, known here affectionately as Shorty, dispenses Chemistry in hourly doses. He knows Chemistry front, back, and sideways, as well as up and down. He likes Ionic Equilibria pretty well, and also the Atomic Theory, but he is long gone when he reaches the Periodic System. He lectures from the top of a high stool, so as to see everybody — making thirty or forty round trips over to the blackboard per hour, but when he reaches Mendelejeff ' s Law he gets so interested he forgets all about sitting down. Professor Cooper teaches English and likes it, mainly because he gets a lot of laughs out of the dumb things Freshmen say on themes. If all the themes he has waded through were laid margin to margin, nobody would know how far they would reach — but we make a guess at about Flagstaff, Arizona, or maybe Greybull, Wyoming. He likes chess about as well as anything, and he enjoys springing something new on Professor Towles, causing the latter to smoke up a whole can full of Prince Albert trying to figure out what his idea is. Professor Patterson, known by everybody as Prof. Pat, is the head of the Electrical Engineer- ing department. He has taught Electricity so long that he knows what students can understand, and what they can ' t, so he picks Alternating Current apart in little pieces and makes it so clear that you can ' t help knowing something about transformers, and synchronous motors and converters. He makes circle diagrams of Sink motors darn near talk, and that ' s not all. When Dr. Butts talks you can ' t help but listen. He knows Political Science, and he knows how to make it interesting. He walks in class just as the whistle blows and says ' . ' Where were we? Then he gets down to business and you get so interested you forget all about taking any notes. He says they had the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia because Benjamin Franklin, who was pretty old then, could reach up and get his hat when lunch time came and get home and back again without any trouble. It ' s little things like that that make his courses full of life and interest. 24 wmm Brackin Beverly Professor Brackin knows as much about Modern English authors and their books as anybody could unless they lived with them, maybe, and talked with them around the tire and knew the neighbors, and all the children. You might find something he hasn ' t read, but the chances are he can tell you more about it than you can the day after you read it. He knows how to put it out, too. That ' s the main reason his sections fill up so soon. Professor Carpenter is the kind that makes a student glad to work lor him. Somehow, you don ' t feel like he is a professor at all. He is all business, though, and you know something- about drainage and ditching when you get his course off. He knows his course, and you don ' t mind working for a professor like that. Dr. Mitchell is the college surgeon. He knows students so well by now that he can .iust look at a fellow that wants to miss class on account of a headache and tell right away that he is trying to get around a quiz. On account of that the health of the student body is excellent. Fellows go over to the hospital with everything from a toothache to fallen arches, but the minute their eye lights on the six-man size dose of salts, the pain disappears in a cloud of dust making ninety miles an hour. Mrs. Beverly is one of the cashiers in the cafeteria. If anybody was to run a popularity contest around here, all the other contestants would just naturally withdraw the minute they saw her name on the list. She has a pleasant word and a smile for everybody, and it ' s always a pleasure to pass down her side of the line. She ' s always there, too, and you look forward to speaking to her. She sort of reminds you of the folks back home. Professor McKee teaches botany. He knows more about a plant that it does itself. He ' s the kind that makes you want to work for him, too. He knows how to put it out without you needing- five botanical dictionaries and L,uther Burbank as confidential adviser in order to understand what it ' s all about. Most professors sporting a Dr. in front of their names arc not in his class, and we wouldn ' t be at all surprised to see him blossom out with one most any time. Professor Lucas teaches Machine Design, Machine Shop, and Welding. If you have a notion that a welded .ioint won ' t stand up alongside a rivited one, for the love of Mike, don ' t let him read your mind. Never call a lathe job an exercise, either. Anything else would be better. If there ever was anybody that ' knew their stuff, though, Buddy knows his. He can tell you what you want to know without an unnecessary word, too. He is always at work on something for the Military Department when he has no classes, and he is one of the big reasons why A. M. Artillery unit stands at the head of the list in the United States. 25 Professor Barnes, better known among the fellows as Theta because he used to be particularly partial to that letter in denoting angles, keeps the engineering Sophomores on the jump writing up physics experiments on sunshiny afternoons and ' way up into the small hours of the morning. He likes radio and photography a whole lot, and whenever he discovers a photograph that is artistic, he feels good all day. He is particularly noted for illustrating the right hand motor rule in electricity, and a lot of acrobats you see on the stage aren ' t in his class until he gets it like he wants it. Major Dusenbury is in charge of the Coast Artillery Cadet Corps. He believes in giving a fellow a job to do, and then letting him go to it on his own hook. He thinks the world of his outfit, and declares with considerable pride that they look better every day. That sort of attitude keeps every- body working hard. He has an open mind, and an ever present willingness to co-operate on every- thing that ' s worth while, and as an all ' round good sport he ' s hard to beat. Professor Stafford, affectionately known as Bo, teaches bugs so effectively that anybody with that subject on his schedule is ready to go to any extreme almost to get him. He can draw a bug on the board that looks so real that you expect it to say, Well, I ' ll be seeing you down at Cousin Will ' s, and then sell out through the window or door, as the case may be. He knows them all by their first names, and by all in this connection, we are speaking of everything that even resembles a bug that anybody ever heard of. Sergeant Nowlin takes care of the clerical end of the Military Department. When he decides to do anything, its already done, brother — that ' s just one of his little eccentricities. He has personal charge of Battery I, and the way he makes the boys put out is something worth seeing. He tells the first platoon that the second platoon says they are a bunch of swabs, and then goes over and tells the second platoon that that ' s what the first platoon thinks about them. Then the boys get red-headed, and decide to show the other platoon a few things about close order drill that they never heard of, and that accounts for a lot of those blue ribbons you see on the standard of his battery. Professor Vestal teaches Geology in a way that makes you like it whether you are interested in it or not, and that ' s going some. He believes in work while you are in his room, but he is one of the fellows on a field trip. There may be some rocks that he can ' t identify, but they haven ' t been gotten up out the earth, yet. We heard that one fellow handed him a piece of a brick to identify once, and the Professor remarked that that was the sort of rock that certain folks ' heads were made out of. The student laughed that one off by bumming a cigarette and smoking it nonchalantly, and in a minute it exploded on him. Well, life is that way around here. You get it going and coming. Professor Garner teaches Economics. He doesn ' t think the free and unlimited coinage of silver is such a swell idea, and if you think differently, don ' t brag about it, because; he is thinking then that your upper story is unfurnished, or worse, although he wouldn ' t tell you that, of course. In Economics a good may not be good at all, it may be distinctly ungood, but all those little things don ' t worry him any. Where the money comes from, and how, and where it goes to; that ' s what he is concerned with. He knows it, and expects you to. You find the latter out on quizzes. He likes people, and is interested in them. That ' s the way everybody ought to be. 26 Department of Instruction Engineering Agriculture Science Academic ELECTRICAL LABORATORY Electrical Engineering The courses offered by the Electrical Engineering department thoroughly equip the students for development into engineers in any phase of the profession. The junior year is devoted principally to the study of direct currents and direct current ma- chinery. The scope of the courses are broad, including concentrated classroom work, accom- panied by practice in the laboratory. The latter develops the student ' s self-confidence and en- ables him to observe the results of the principles which he studied in the classroom. The theory and characteristics of alternating current are covered in the latter part of the year. The senior year is devoted to the study of the alternator, followed by motors, transformers, converters, synchronous motors, condensers, metering devices, and control equipment. This oc- cupies the fall semester. The spring semester is devoted to the study of some of the different phases of the industry, such as power transmission, illumination, and electric railways. The laboratory, shown above, is one of the most completely equipped, from the standpoint of variety of apparatus, in the South. It is constantly being added to as new apparatus is developed, and the student is given every opportunity to become thoroughly conversant with its equipment. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering, as understood today, includes the design and construction of steam engines and steam boilers, gas and gasoline engines, complete power plants, machine tools, hoist- ing and conveying machinery, cranes of usual types, rolling mill machinery, automobiles, steam- boats, heating and ventilating appliances, and all other types of machinery for manufacturing purposes. The young apprentice in a commercial shop acquires knowledge slowly and with difficulty. He learns the use of a particular machine or to do a certain piece of work, and once having learned this, he is kept working at it to gain skill and rapidity. In the technical school the student is taught the use of the machine, the principles of its construction, the nature of the material worked, and the errors to avoid. After learning this, he is allowed to pass to the explanation of some other process. The technical school should be just as well equipped as the commercial shop, but the equipment serves a very different purpose. The object of the equipment is the production of in- telligent working people and not the production of salable commodities. When shop construc- tion is used to further commercial ends, its loses its educational value. The student often looks upon the commodity produced as the real purpose of his shop training work, but when he is grown to manhood it becomes apparent to him that the strict training received in the making of these models was only a method of ingraining the habit of accuracy, care, self-reliance, and neatness, in addition to the general dexterity of hand and a greater love of work. Realizinig the great importance of this practical training, the policy of the college is to require all students who graduate to take shop instruction at some time during their respective courses. «§ CLASS IN BRIDGE DESIGN Laboratory and shop courses are given to supplement and re-enforce the work given in the class- room. This method of bringing the hand and mind to work together lies at the basis of all true technical education. Practical instruction is given in woodwork, pattern making, forge and foundry work, machine work, and in experimental laboratories to all engineering students. In the laboratories, the shops, and the central power plant are various types of apparatus and machinery for experimental and research work. The equipment of the department for teaching the different branches of the work is being en- larged as funds are available, and as the number of students enrolled increases. Civil Engineering Engineering is the direction and control of the forces and materials of nature for the economic use and benefit of mankind; or, as someone has sad: Engineering is the art of doing, in a short time and with a small amount of money, what any fool could do if he had unlimited time and money available. The two principal problems in our agricultural development today are the education of the farmers, and the keeping of the farmers on the farm. The latter problem is almost entirely an engineering one, and the first touches engineering at many points, 29 gg Tfe[REVEILLEli922 Experience shows that men will stay on the farm if living conditions are made tolerable — if they can have a share of the conveniences of the city. Here enters the engineer, building better farm buildings, constructing good highways, making possible light, heat, water, and power service in farm buildings, improving sanitary conditions and generally helping to improve country life. With the enormous industrial production and development of today are required large in- dustrial plants and the rebuilding and enlargement of many existing structures. The design and construction of factories, office buildings, dam s, power houses, bridges and viaducts, is the work of the structural engineer. The most economical structure may not be that one which has the lowest first cost. Each problem offers a number of solutions, and the engineer must visualize them all and study each carefully with a view to safety and ultimate economy. Like other engineers his scientific training must have some of the humanistic subjects with it in order that he may visualize the ultimate purpose of his work. Civil engineering as distinct from electrical and mechanical engineering covers highway construction and maintenance, drainage engineering, railroad engineering, structural engineering as applied both to steel and concrete, flood prevention and control, water power and water supply engineering, city planning and other allied subjects. . ■ ' WKPj J® Jhf He iff V DUSTING COTTON FOR BOLL WEEVIL Civil engineering offers a splendid opportunity for the exercise of creative imagination, for scientific study, and for leadership and direct service to the public. The mechanical and electrical engineer follow the track of the civil engineer in the development of civilized com- munities. The civil engineer is the pioneer in uncivilized countries as well as the foundation of civil life in large cities. School of Agriculture For the next quarter century the most rapid development in American agriculture will take place in the South. Great changes in our farm organization are in sight. We are to see the volume of business per man assume entirely new proportions. Good pastures grazed by good livestock combines cheap lands and scarce labor with profit. Hay crops furnish valuable feed with small labor requirements, and our tendency is toward a greater production of this crop. The mechanical cotton picker may parallel the cotton gin in economic importance. The special- ization of labor on the one hand and the diversity of enterprises on the other may enable the cotton belt farmer to handle many times the land area per man that he is now doing. We are N no doubt on the threshold of a great change in Southern agriculture. To meet these impending changes that our farmers may profit thereby is the purpose of our school. The A. M. College is headquarters for three distinct but closely connected fields of agri- cultural education. These departments are the School of Agriculture, Experiment Station, and Extension. The technical departments of the School of Agriculture are Rural Education, Agricultural Economics, Agricultural Engineering, Animal Husbandry, Agronomy, Dairy Husbandry, Horti- culture, Poultry Husbandry, and Veterinary Science. These departments, however, shade into and closely interlock with the natural sciences, the physical sciences, and the social sciences. It might be said in a general way that the agricultural student spends about one-half of his time in technical agriculture, and the remaining time In the closely related science and cultural subjects. The experiment station, consisting of the main station at A. M. College, and the four branch stations in the other sections of the state, conduct annually some 1,800 research projects, each dealing with some problem of economic importance to the people of the state. The great diversity of crops and livestock that can be grown in the state necessitates a large research de- GOOD PASTURES GRAZED BY GOOD LIVESTOCK partment if we are to know the best methods of producing these farm products. It is only neces- sary that we have dependable data on not only the best methods of producing a given product, but also the relative profits from different farm enterprises, and from the various combinations of enterprises. The splendid work of the station is available to the student, and constitutes a large part of his college work. The extension department of the college carries back to the farmer those truths which are found by the research worker of the experiment station and given by the teacher to students in classroom and laboratory. The extension department now has agents in sixty counties of the state, and will go into other counties as soon as funds will permit. The agricultural student is permitted to take the degree of Bachelor of Science in either Rural Education, Animal Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Horticulture, General Agriculture, or Agricultural Commerce. The graduate in Rural Education is especially fitted for teaching vocational agriculture in the secondary schools of the state. Vocational agriculture! is now being taught by graduates of this department in more than one hundred Smith-Hughes schools in Mississippi. Graduates in Animal Husbandry are prepared for livestock and general farming, and for leadership in the rapidly developing livestock industry of the state. 3i The degree in Dairy Husbandry may be taken either in Dairy Production or Dairy Manu- facturing. The rapidly developing dairy industry of the state offers unusual opportunity for the young man well trained in this field. The only milk condensing plant in the South is located at Starkville, Mississippi, within a mile of the A. M. College; and creameries are making rapid growth in all parts of the state. The splendid college dairy herd offers ideal laboratory training for our students. Horticulture is a growing industry in the state. In the production of nuts, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, Mississippi has great possibilities. There is great room for expansion in Mississippi horticulture, and this phase of agriculture will receive great stimulus with the growth of industries and cities in the state. A new feature in the School of Agriculture is the Department of Agricultural Commerce. In this department students will be given a sound, fundamental course in agricutlure, and in addition will receive special training in accounting, statistics, agricultural credit, marketing and banking. The average salary received by our last year ' s graduates ranks well above $1,800. Of the forty-eight land grant colleges in the United States, only four have a larger enrollment than has the Agricultural School of Mississippi A. M. The Science School The Mississippi A. M. College is frequently thought of as a modern institute of technology, and as applying its resources and its energy altogether in the development of specialists in the various divisions of agriculture and engineering. It will not be doubted that the achievements of its graduates in these fields are widely known, and perhaps these are the best standards avail- able by which to estimate the success of the institution in accomplishing the fundamental pur- poses for which it was founded. But a great enterprise, if it remains so, cannot become static. This commonplace truism ap- plies with striking force to an educational enterprise which will rapidly decay if the flow of progress begins to pass it. The college, therefore, may be expected to continually enlarge the scope of its work as changing conditions open new opportunities or set up new demands. It may be safely assumed that the spirit of increased usefulness rather than that of expansion for the sake of spectacular growth will direct the authorities in the future as it has guided them in the past. The Science School rounds out educational opportunity here while subtracting nothing from the scheme of technical training that has been long worked out. It finds a peculiarly appropriate setting among the forces of vocational training which it both largely supports and complements, for the principles of the sciences which it includes lie in the foundation of the entire educational structure. There are no fixed programs of study in the science school. It is presumed that its students are at college to accomplish some definite purpose. A large number of men present a variety of V objectives and predilections. When a student has found himself, he is permitted to co-operate in making a plan of study. This involves the problem of finding a sound schedule that will meet special requirements and at the same time conserve the individual ' s interest iti his daily work. An ideal solution of the problem is rarely found, but it is infinitely better to endeavor to fit courses of study to the student ' s needs than to embrace the alternative of forcing all into a very few molds that turn out standard, even though imperfect patterns. Therefore, in the science school liberty of election is a principle, but this liberty is not un- conditional. Always it must be exercised in the spirit of serious intent; throughout it is closely- supervised, and it is not permitted to lapse into license for aimless choice. This theorv of cur- riculum making cannot be overturned if the safeguards which go with it are properly admin- istered. The selection of a career involves one of the most important decisions which a young man must make. A mistake is always costly; it may prove to be well nigh irretrievable. The cautious and ambitious will seek the counsel of parents, friends, and of their teachers, but the responsibility is at least a personal one. One ' s occupation may not be a drudge. Some find their proper sphere easily; others must discover it through the process of trial and error. Students in the Science School are not pressed with the necessity of selecting a life work almost on the very day of matriculation. Many require more general experience, maturer judgment, and a better acquaintance with college life and affairs before they are enabled to make a choice with ccertainty and conviction. For two years all courses are closely alike. The schedules are composed of subjects useful and in a large measure fundamental, in preparation for any career which a student here is likely to select. His liberty is much restricted during these two years, but the way in which they are spent largely measures the value of his college course. On arriving at the beginning of the third yeai in college, every man is supposed to have reached a definite conclusion with regard to the wik in which he will be most largely occupied during the remainder of his undergraduate days. He must now study the opportunities avail- able, confer with his teachers and advisers, and begin the making of a two-year program with a definite purpose in view. Numerous options are available, but the selection of studies which compose the two years of work before him is made in accordance with certain general regulations and with the consent and advice of those who will be in charge of them. These administrative procedures by no means makes the student ' s liberty a hollow privilege; they are rather supple- ments to his judgment and are maintained as co-operative agencies. Little opportunity remains, therefore, for those of no predominating tendency to select courses without proper consideration, and hence to no end. What has been said gives one some idea of the purpose and of the theory of the organization of courses of instruction in the Science School. After two years of work most largely prescribed, 33 there remain two years for study, fitted as far as may be to one purpose or another, which the student wishes to accomplish while in college. If a correlation thought to be ideal is sometimes difficult or impossible, that is not an argument against the plan itself. Courses in frequent demand have been worked out and published in the catalogues. The re- quirements of various classes of college men can be met within the range available in these four- year schedules. I. SPECIAL SCIENCE COURSES.— In every laige student body there are a number of men who take a keen delight in work and study in science. They are likely to succeed to the full ex- tent of the opportunities available. Here they may distribute themselves in the science depart- ments wherein they will find courses of major work and instructors interested in their success. The outlook is always good for men capable of distinct achievement. Students not infrequently major in science courses also when preparing for professional studies such as medicine, dentistry, etc., or for positions in which a knowledge of one or more sciences is helpful or essential. II. GENERAL COURSES. — Some college men do not wish to begin specialized study during their undergraduate days. The flexibility of the schedules permit one to give almost any desirable trend to the course as a whole, which may be made a foundation for studies after graduation, or planned with the view of broad general culture. In any event the options may be exercised to satisfy a variety of special requirements. III. COMMERCE AND ECONOMICS.— All courses offered by the Department of Finance are available for Science School students. Appropriate subjects have been assembled in a schedule for those who wish to make a special study of Commerce and Economics. The organization and arrangement of these courses has been carefully studied. The four-year program will enable pur- poseful students to do effective work which will be adequate also as preparation for graduate work in schools of commerce in larger institutions. IV. EDUCATION. — There are desirable opportunities for men who equip themselves thor- oughly to teach science and industrial subjects in secondary schools or junior colleges. The course in Education is planned for those who wish to prepare themselves to teach definite subjects. A general preparation and scattering of effort is not contemplated. Those who comply with the requirements for graduation are eligible for life license to teach in the public schools of Mississippi. The several courses of study which have been outlined are merely illustrative, but do not ex- haust the possibilities. Two-year special schedules are easily arranged for men preparing to meet the entrance requirements of professional schools, as well as for those who cannot arrange to re- main in college long enough to become candidates for a degree. It should be pointed out also that no difficulties lie in the way of students who desire to undertake major work in departments of instruction which have not been mentioned. 34 CLASSES Bunch Jameson LUCKIE Moore Biccers WOFFOKI) Senior Class Officers C.

Electrical Engineering Tibby is the boy that keeps the. college folks on the run to the back door so he can look over their meters to see whether they are getting something for nothing. If a bear or a wild-cat ever set its eyes on Tibby with the idea in mind of tasting him, he could outrun ' em if there were any trees around, after all the experience he has had shinning up light poles. The neighbors get nervous sometimes watching him prank around with the wires on top of poles, but they ought to see him in the laboratory trying to connect three or more wires on something at the same time with his bugle resting on a wattmeter, and both hands across the output leads of the alternator. It isn ' t running, of course, other- wise there would be no use writing this. Tibby exclusively uses Brown Mule tobacco (Adv.), and favors Old North State cigarettes. They do not harm my voice, he says (Adv.). 39 Rayburn has been a good student, and has made a record of which we are proud. Courteous, agreeable, dependable. and considerate, he has made many friends. When you asked him for anything in the library you usually got it— and a smile. His passport to success is merit.

In September, 1923, the Class of ' 27 first came into being — 460 men, very green, it must be admitted, but determined for the most part, as records show. In the face of such awe inspiring tales as had reached our ears previous to our arrival, there were few, if any, who had serious doubts as to their ability to come through. Under the guidance of the upperclassmen we elected the following officers: King Jamieson President G. L. Hales Vice-President P. T. Hill Secretary Hazing, which year by year had been decreasing, was at that time quite prominent. Hav- ing little else to occupy us, we were struck with this fact. Particularly outstanding was the avalanche of ' 27 ' s which suddenly sprang up all over the campus, and which caused many of us to seek more secure shelter than the Dormitory at night. First semester exams were particularly dreaded, for none of us knew what a college exam was like. Quite a few found to their sorrow what an able bodied exam could do, and the second semester saw our class somewhat thinner in the ranks. The prom in February was a gala affair, the first we had ever seen and it proved to be the last.f It is doubtful whether any class had entered A. and M. before which had more promising athletic material. The Freshman football and track teams that year proved best in the South. The basketball and baseball teams, while not as outstanding as the first teams mentioned, came through their seasons well. The band that year was the lar gest in the history of the school. Out of the total, 25 were in our class. In our Sophomore year we numbered 375. Our officers for the ensuing year were: C. R. Ashford President C. D. Loewer . Vice-President P. T. Hambrick Secretary The first semester passed almost without event of note with the exception of the near strike, which would have added about two weeks to our Christmas holidays.:): Although we found the Sophomore year to be the real beginning of college work, we found time to impress Freshmen with newly acquired rights. The mid-year exams exacted the heaviest toll during our stay here. Nothing more eventful than M. S. C. W. Day occurred during the second semester. Our Sophomore class contributed generously to athletics, placing from 3 to 6 men on each varsity team. The Junior year opened with 189 men in the Class of ' 27. Our Junior officers elected the previous year were: E. B. Jones President H. W. Stevens Vice-President G. D. Dicks Secretary The complacent attitude that we have adopted as Juniors lies fittingly between the hilarity of the Sophomores and the dignity of the Seniors. Very few were forced to leave because of mid-year exams. The short time of two months now brings us to the most notable event of our third year — the Junior Banquet. Here the history must close, as it cannot look into the future. The Senior Class officers elected last Spring were: C. M. Bunch President J. B. Luckie Vice-President R. R. Biggers Secretary Fraternities, which had been distinctly bad taste in Mississippi colleges for a good many more than several years, were granted privileges to exist once more. Several were organized at the beginning of the scholastic year, and three made application for national affiliation. Whether they will get in will be left as an exercise for the student. The A. and M. College of Mississippi was recognized as an A-i school by the Board of the Southern Association of Colleges. Some question was raised as to the eligibility because Latin was not taught here. Latin, is, without dispute, quite essential in farm irrigation and bridge design. It is, too, extensively used in electric locomotive design and automatic substation practice. Somebody on the examining board asked Dr. Hand what the title of his thesis meant. The doctor diplomatically intimated that the questioner ought to go back to high school and learn the meanings of some more words. The basketball team of the ' 26 season had the eyes of the South focused upon it when it went to Atlanta and defeated everything in sight except North Carolina. Everybody but A. and M. men thou ght the Maroons would be on their way home the next day, but that, briefly speaking, was not the case. •One freshman that came down on the train from Artesia that afternoon took one look at the gang outside the train and accordingly did not even get off. So prominent in fact that several enterprising Freshmen kept a jug of vinegar and salt solution handy for daily application, and some exhibited a stoic attitude by having their roommate give them a couple of tallies a day just to make the real thing- not so bad that night.  The grandstand on Hardy Hill housed more Freshmen during the nights of one week than the Dormitory did, immediately following the first ' 27 on the tank. fSimply because we overlooked the fact that some of our visitors would be too dumb to know how to act when they got on a sure-enough campus. JA Freshman took it upon himself to inform the gym instructor that someone had answered for an absent student. That night several of the boys showed the Freshman how his kind were esteemed at A. and M. Said Freshman burned up the pavement getting over to the president ' s office and told who his benefactors were. Eleven men were shipped. Everybody got hot under their respective O. D. shirts and were all set to pack up and head south. A compromise was affected, whereby a Student Executive Council would have a voice in disciplinary affairs, and the eleven men were reinstated. £The girls appeared to have about as good a time as Nick Eldridge would have on a Sunday School picnic. It was the first time some of them had ever seen any large buildings. Three are said to have fallen over backwards looking up at Lee Hall. Ricks, Bridges, Chapman, Breland Officers W. B.

Engineering 98 E j = T E ' RESHMAN BRADFIELD ' S room suffered a healthy cleaning once a week. It was time to clean up, he said, when you could not move around without getting something in your pockets. Right now it appeared to be in almost such a shape. He admitted that he liked to have it clean, himself, but his two room- mates, Scovern and Carmichael, were such careless clowns that it was simply no use. Once, he declared, Scovern decided to turn over a new leaf and live befitting his color, but it never got past that. The beds were not made. On Bradfield ' s a banjo with a much autographed and cartooned head reposed, its resonator partly concealed by the sport sheet of the Daily Herald and a hand-painted shawl, undoubtedly given up as lost by its former owner. Various miscellaneous shoes lay strewn about, peeping out from under newspapers. An iron dumb-bell and a can of red paint containing a newly used brush sat in the corner by the window seat. A red ring nearby indicated that the paint was used twice, anyway. The study tables were covered with books and papers. The books had an unmis- takable layer of dust on Carmichael ' s table. The copy of Steam Power Plant Design was suspiciously clean along the edges. Closer inspection showed all were that way except one — The Little Theater. A paper folded lengthwise and protruding from the Theory of Equations was decorated with an underscored 50 in red ink. Three pipes, all appearing to be veterans judging from the initialed bowls and the scarred stems, were piled in with a pair of tennis shoes and an electric iron. The walls were white, and for the most part clean, save in spots over the tables. A map of the town drawn in pencil occupied about a square foot above Scovern ' s table, closely crowded by a photograph of Seagrave ' s Sunbeam Mystery racing machine, which partially concealed several hastily scribbled girls ' addresses. A telephone num- ber in red crayon boasting three-inch figures was drawn diagonally above, and off a little to the side a schedule of classes was pasted. It showed seventeen hours. Scovern was a Senior. Pennants of nearly every school in the South hung from the picture moulding. A yellow slicker almost black with autographs nearly concealed the Georgia Tech streamer, and the tacks supporting the V. M. I. standard also secured the wire holding up a picture of impressionalistic art. Bradfield declared it to be Carmichael ' s pride and joy, as it came from his own brush. It appeared to be nothing more than a heterogeneous aggregation of yellow spirals and red and green squares. Its title, however, was The Gulf at Sunrise. His old lady had all the artistic disposition of the family, Bradfield admitted. As for himself, he was proud of only one thing he did with paint. That was the time he phosphorous-painted a skeleton and pulled it along a rope stretched over to the Conservatory. It met the janitor under the arch, and Bradfield hinted things that PICKED UP right away — Romantic Journey. — Flippin. taylor Jones stone Burton Williamson McDonald Officers Miss Mary Lynn Jones • ■ Sponsor h. stone ....

He can get more fight out of a team than probably any other coach in the Southland. The beauty of it is that he is not of the driver type, and gets the old fight up by methods all his own. Handicapped ' with extremely light material, he has made fine players out of them and kept A. and M. teams in the running. Watch him next year when the Bierman system gets its real grip on the College. Coach Dudy is a product of A. and M. He specializes in baseball, and what he can ' t get out of a green bunch is a caution. Fellows that never hit the ball out of the infield before they ran into him, begin to swat liners all over the outfield, and at developing pitchers that put ' em past ' em, he can ' t be equalled. Coach Dudy doesn ' t waste any talk, and when he tells it to them, they listen. H° knows what ' s what, all right, and men like Hugh Critz and Buddy Myers, that started out under him, prove it. Coach Chad starts the Freshmen off right in baseball and basketball. If they ' ve got it, he ' ll bring it out. His big job, though, is handling the Athletic Department ' s cash, of which there is a considerable amount, judging from the size of the crowds that flock around the College whenever a game is scheduled. He can do more with a dollar than most people can with five, and if we had a staff of Scotchmen in there looking after the coin, they would be more extravagant than he is. Red McDougal knows everything about the Athletic Department and the teams, including the price of everything, date of purchase, and number on hand, to say nothing of the history of everybody that ever played on a team at A. and M., is playing now, or is likely to play in the next four years. He has his heart in his job if anybody ever did, and he puts out with a will. There are a hundred and one details that have to be attended to when a team goes on a trip, and Red sees to them all and a few more besides, just for the gratification of that engineering instinct of being sure. 5 wjmm ■- ... w ?1 , M Club Mitchell Pickens Chadwick Biggers Barfield Willingham Thompson Geoghegan Priester Meredith Stuart B errv Bates Chapman- Hartness Jones Fountain Lewis RONEY Meeks Craft Meredith Bryant Turner Ricks Harris Brunson Brunson Fugate Captain Ole Lady Jones Ole Lady won his place on the All Southern hy playing straight up football six days a week, and giving everything he had, which was considerable.

M. started swiftly and tallied almost at the outset after the Panthers had been held and forced to punt on the opening kick-off. The Aggies took the ball on their own 35-yard line and carried it to the two-yard stripe, where Old Man Meeks took it over. Hartness missed the try for point. The second touchdown came in the second quarter after a score had been denied after Southern intercepted a pass on their own ten-yard line. A short punt gave the Aggies the ball on the Panther 35-yard line. Meeks and McCabe moved the leather up on the n-yard marker; and a five-yard penalty to Birmingham-Southern put the ball only six yards from the goal, over which Meeks plunged a moment later. Hartness added the extra point from placement. The Panthers then started an offensive of their own when Miller made a couple of beautiful sprints to place the ball dangerously near,, but a pair of passes failed, and the entire Aggie crew smothered Miller on an end run. An exchange of punts in the third session gave ' the Aggies the ball on their own 42-yard line. Clark uncorked a 28-yard sprint around the end, and Meeks followed with ten more. A Panther penalty further advanced the ball, and after Clark had hit the line twice, Meeks sailed through center for another set of digits. The try for point failed. The Panther score came in the fourth quarter when Stuart fumbled on Southern ' s 25-yard line. A 75-yard march started then which terminated in a score on a pass — Pace to Fullbright. The revolver barked before the boys got under way again, and everybody got up and decided to go home and see what the neighbors had brought in for dinner. HOW COME NoBooy (■ AlivJT GlViN 1 Mg NO i interference 7 A The second contest of the season also resulted in a triumph for the Aggies — this time over Mississippi College, 41 to o. The game was never close, but it was an interesting struggle, nevertheless, featured by inter- cepted passes and spectacular runs by Meeks and Co. From the outset it was evident that the Baptists were too light for the husky Aggie machine. A. M. ' s first touchdown came as a gift when Biscuit Wilson fumbled a punt on Mississippi College ' s 30-yard line and Thompson recovered for the Aggies. A series of short bucks, a six- yard end run, and a five-yard penalty terminated by a ten-yard buck by Meeks resulted in a touchdown. McCabe made it seven by a beautiful drop kick squarely between the bars. The second set of counters came in the second quarter when Clark dashed around right end for fifteen yards and a touchdown. Meeks added the extra point from placement. Old Man then went off tackle for the next score, and later added the extra point. The fourth set of numerals came when Ricks made a phenomenal shoe-string catch of a pass thrown by Wilson. Meeks then galloped fifty-five yards for another touchdown. Cristopher, a substatute end, scored the last flock of points on a recovered 1 , fumble. Mississippi College never succeeded in scoring, but at times showed powerful offensive threats centered around Walter Riley, star halfback, and Wilson, their flashv quarter. Meeks and Clark showed mid-season form in plunging the line and circling the ends. Jones, the All-Southern center, was a powerful factor in the victory, and showed his mettle by repeatedly breaking through the line to down a back for a loss University of Alabama 28; A. M. 7 On October the ninth the Aggies and the Crimson Tide treated the Meridian tans to some of the best football seen there in many a day. The score doesn ' t tell the story of the fierceness of the struggle. By playing straight football the Tide probably might have been held to only a couple of scores, but we didn ' t go over there to play a close game, and thereby hangs the tale. The Capstone lads scored early, and then the Maroon machine got going, and just before the half ended, a series of neatly executed passes sent Ricks across the line for a touchdown, which tied the score. In the third quarter Alabama hammered out another tally. Line plunging availed the Aggies several inches each shot, so an overhead defense was resorted to. Meeks heaved them into Red Rick ' s waiting digits time and time again, but we tried one too many when Red Barnes stepped in and intercepted one on his 20-yard line and galloped eighty yards without waiting to even say hello or goodbye. The fourth touchdown was a repetition of the third, as it also came as a result of an intercepted pass. As we said before, the score doesn ' t tell the story. Wallace Wade himself rated the A. M. game as the best on his schedule. Meeks and Ricks completed a total of twelve passes, which is a good mark for somebody to shoot at. Jones threw the celebrated Crimson backs for repeated losses. The way Biggers waded through their line looked like we were only playing Ole Miss, and with Jew Clark practically out with a bad shoulder, we don ' t feel hurt ' ' by our p.rformance against one of the fastest and trickiest machines in the country.

M., 34; MlLLSAPS, o The Millsaps game was, as a whole, rather slow; but some nice worK by Stuart and Pickens served to keep the cash customers entertained during the afternoon. The Aggies scored early in the first quarter when Pickens waded through the middle of the Major line for thirty yards, putting the ball on the 20-yard stripe. A penalty and a couple of bucks put the ball over. Late in the second quarter Sprott intercepted a pass and galloped thirty-five yards to lay the oval at rest on the 18-yard line. McCabe took it across from there by two successive bucks. The third set of counters arrived when Francis muffed Sprott ' s punt and Jones recovered for A. M. on the 15-yard line. Biggers crashed through for a first down and then carried it across. The fourth touchdown was a present from Greasy Stuart, made by a 35 vard run through the entire Major line. He was still steaming along when he crossed the line, and some who did not know him very well wondered if he would tour the county. In the fourth quarter this self-same back imitated Man o ' War by ankling forty yards for another score. Millsaps showed a dangerous passing attack on the bottle of milk for Mrs. O ' Reilly order, especially in the third and fourth quarters, but the aerial attack became ineffective each time the A. M. goal loomed ahead. MeeKs and dark were kept on the side lines as they were both more or less hors de com- bat and were being saved for bigger and livelier game.

U. 6 The Tigers came next on the Aggie schedule, and they were subdued only after extracting the teeth and claws in a hitter struggle, which the score partly shows. This game took place in Jackson. The Tigers arrived in the capital with a 200-horsepower appetite, and they benevolently con- templated tearing a huge morsel from the Maroons in revenge for former defeats at the hands of the Bulldog crew in other years. Clark led off by tucking the oval under his arm and setting sail for the Tiger go al. He made thirty yards that time, and then clipped off the remaining distance in short end runs and bucks, hurdling the line for the score. The try for point was good, and the Maroons won the game by this margin. L. S. U. scored on a recovered fumble on the Aggie six-yard line. A five-yard penalty placed the ball on A. M. ' s one-yard line, and the cross marks the spot where Haynes dived through the line for a score. Their failure to kick goal cost them the game plus a lot of heat under their re- spective collars. L. S. U. showed a powerful offense, and signs of scores were several times evident. Once Daddy Meeks, who was crippled on the side lines, was called upon to back up the line, and his vicious tackling helped to avert a Tiger score. Jones and Mitchell were the shining lights in the line. They spilled a whole raft of Tiger of- fensives before they were really started. The chief Aggie threat was centered around Clark, who was a demon at returning punts and skirting the terminals. This speedy back flashed some beautiful runs in this game, and followed his interference with machine-like precision. f Jones, Capt. Mitchell University of Tennessee, 33 ; A. M., o We had really rather not write about this game at all, but since it was played there is no way around it. A muddy field made the game slow, but there was nothing particularly slow about the way Harkness of Tennessee sailed through the A. M. line hither, thither, and yon. Every now and then somebody would get bogged, and while time was called to extricate the mud out of the victim ' s esophagus the spectators amused themselves in various ways, mostly by wringing the water out of their clothes and emptying out their shoes. The Vols scored soon after the first whistle, and continued to do so with considerable regularity. A. M. didn ' t show a sign of an offensive, and repeated fumbles and long Tennessee punts kept A. M. hard pressed nearly all the time. The only way to explain the showing made by A. M. that day is that we got all mixed up on signals because everybody was so covered with mud that nobody knew who he was, himself. A. M. 14; TULANE O The next game on the Aggie schedule resulted in a victory over the Tulane Green Wave in their own back yard. A. M. scored first! in the second quarter when Tulane ' s quarter fumbled a long punt by Chadwick and Hartness recovered on Tulane ' s 30-yard line. The Maroons then started an unhalting march for a touchdown, Old Man Meeks diving over the line on the fourth down for the set of counters. The Aggies scored again in the final period when they began a drive from their own 20-yard line that netted five first downs and placed the ball on Tulane ' s one-yard line. Clark started off at ninety around left end and then cut ba.ck and breezed through a hole in, the Wave that a couple of battleships could have passed through. The Tulane team showed both a smart offense and defense, Armstrong and Menville standing out as two clever backs, while Talbot looked good in the line. Clark and Meeks played a great offensive game behind splendid interference. Jones, Hartness. and Mitchell also played a great brand of football, catching Tulane backs behind the line, and often recovering fumbles and breaking up passes. University of Indiana 19; A. M. 6 The Indiana game resembled the Tennessee game in one respect — the spirit of not being out to win. In the Tennessee game, though, the Maroons didn ' t have a thing, while in this one it looked like we had everything. After securing a lead and seemingly having the game on ice, everybody wound the clock and put the cat out and began to take life easy. The Yankees hopped on the chance and began piling digits up right, left, and center. Heifer Stuart, Old Man Meeks, and Old Lady Jones, how- ever, played football all the afternoon. Stuart was perhaps the most outstanding player, and drew very favorable comment both from the sport writers and spectators. 124 tf Hartness University of Mississippi 7; A. M This year ' s Ole Miss game on Thanksgiving Day helped prove the theory that time alone will tell! After thirteen successive We ' ll get you next year, the university squad finally managed to leave Scott Field on the long end of a 7 to 6 count. The Mississippians started with a rush and scored on passes and line bucks late in the second quarter. Then Biggers stepped on the gas, and he and Pickens proceeded to hammer the Ole Miss line for a touchdown just before the half ended. The try for point was blocked, and that one thing gave them the game. Ole Miss held on to that one point margin with eleven pairs of teeth, since neither team could add anything during the second half. Hubby Walker, the Ole Miss quarterback, covered himself with Oxford glory, as it really was his generalship that accounted for their score. His accurate passing was excellent, if we say it ourselves. The Aggie backs were unable to get started, usually, though Stuart exhibited some pretty work both through the line and around the ends. Biggers, who entered the game as a substitute, was probably the offensive ace, as his drives, along with Picken ' s, were responsible for the Maroon score. Jones, the All-Southern center, played A-l football, and he had a worthy opponent in Burke. Apple- white of Ole Miss played a creditable game at end, but he might have done better If he had thought to shave before the fray, since his beard was often in hid way and threatened to trip him up several times. As this was tha much anticipated Thanksgiving Day game with our friends across the state, a holiday crowd was present, totaling around eight thousand. From all reports most everybody had a big time. Several Ole Miss fans let their ardor get the better of their good sense and decided to move the A. M. goal post over to Oxford. A few chairs had to be sacrificed over the heads of these to persuade them that was entirely the wrong- attitude, but even they had a swell time. 125 1 Freshman Football This year ' s Freshman team showed more promise of varsity material than any in the last three years. Four games were played, three of which resulted in wins for the Bullpups. Mississippi College, Alabama, and State Teachers ' College went down before the frosh attack. L. S. U. eked out a 15 to 13 win. The Maroons scored two touchdowns in the first five minutes of play, but they were all tired out by a hard trip into Baton Rouge, and L. S. U. managed to nose them out as the game drew near close. The Mississippi College game opened the schedule with the Bullpups holding the big end of the 19 to 6 score. The next contest caused the Rats of Alabama to kiss the canvas by a 21 to count. It was their first defeat in four years. The third game was with L. S. U., and it was the only one to mar the otherwise clean record. The fourth and last game gave the little Aggies the opportunity to trample on State Teachers ' College to the tune of 26 to 13. Much good backfield material was uncovered. The work of Pappenheimer, quarterback; Wells, Stone, and Thomas at halves, and Crawford and Methrin at fullback was outstanding. The line showed promising material in Grant, Roddy, Stuart, James, Howell, Byrnes, Riddle, Armour, and Gregory. The Game Known As American Football A play in several or more acts depending upon the number of quarters and also the tem- perature of the weather, which is reckoned in degrees Fahrenheit, ordinarily, strange though it may seem. A Centigrade degree is something else ' and if you can convert from one to the other without getting bogged, you have too much brain to waste your time thus. Is that correct or not, Bull ? Bull: Well, yes and no. That being the case we had better start getting somewhere on this play, as the paper is pretty well used up as it is. Canto I Enter tivo ice-men. First ice-man (or second or third, either; it doesn ' t matter any whole lot): Are you Red Grange?

I am looking for a route through the Northwest Passage, which was once sought by Sebastian Cabot quite a few years ago, if I say it myself. It is singular that we should be in search of the same thing. As for myself, I am looking for a Miss Smith of New York, New York, one of the Middle Atlantic States.

Asbestos Lefty knew how to put the strikes past ' em before they realized he ' d turned the ball loose A tight place didn ' t worry him any because he usually made the three and two on purpose, and he knew well enough he could shoot the next one within half an inch of where he wanted to. A bad shoulder kept him on the bench during most of tihe season, but when he was right they couldn ' t touch him. A rifle bu ' let is hard to connect with, even if it is as big as a baseball, and the fact that the white streak was curving in several directions at once didn ' t help batters to any notice- able extent. 129 Back row — Priester, Harris, Loewer, Chapman, Noble. Middle row — Coach Noble, Thompson, Bates, Hartzog, Stuart, McDougal (manager). Front roxv — Stringer, Bolton, Amsler, Hopper, Crigler, Corley, Peel. 1926 Baseball Season When Coach Dudy Noble walked over to Hardy Hill one warm afternoon last February, spring had begun at A. M. With the first crack of the bat the atmosphere about the college changed — there is a sort of enchantment about the thud of the ball in the catcher ' s mitt, and the long drives that soar high to the outfield, and the shouts of the fellows at practice. When the first spectator perched himself on the top tier of bleachers and began to discuss the prospects for S. I. C. Champions, the thought of every man was: Gee! Some team this year. Indeed, it was some team. With ten regulars to bear the brunt of the inside attack, and fourteen scrapping, not-to-be-stopped sophomores on the first squad, besides an array of steady, plugging reserves, the outlook seemed unusually good. The pitching staff, the link that must be supreme in any baseball chain, was composed of southpaws and north wingers galore. With Bolton, Chapman, Harris, Stringer, Brister, and Crigler, the pitching staff seemed able to withstand the swings of any slugger in the Southern Conference. Behind the bat, Corley, a 208-pound first sacker of the year before, was being hard pushed by Priester, a 1925 freshman third baseman, who had been converted into a hind catcher, and also by the ever-scrapping Halbert, also of the 1925 frosh. The infield was being sought after by Noble, Patty, Hartzog, Bates, Loewer, and Peel, regulars, and Jackson and Featherstone, soph- omores. In the outfield, Hopper and Amsler were being given a run for their money by Thomp- son, Stuart, Tatum, and Abernathy. Bolton, the premier pitcher of the South, was the unanimous choice for captain. Unfor- tunately, he developed a sore arm from the start, which kept him out of the major games, and caused Coach Noble to send him to first base in order that his hitting power might be utilized. With this array of baseball talent, and a coach unsurpassed in collegiate baseball, the con- ditions looked ideal to even the most pessimistic followers of the game. 130 The suspense that had been hanging over Hardy Hill for some six weeks was inter- rupted with a bang when the team, sixteen strong, pitched their new uniforms in their bags and started on a conquest of the deep South. Everyone was optimistic, including the never overconfident Coach Noble, and the steady and sure Bolton, who always figured the last inning the most important. No one at A. M. had ever seen such a combination of ball players, hitters, fielders, and straight throwers, all in the game for business. After taking the bumps of the M. and O., the squad arrived in the ter- minal city of Mobile, and immediately began to live up to expectations by licking Spring Hill in the form of McGay, 2 to o. Speck Loewer kept McGay ' s offerings well scattered in the park and out. Volney Chapman in his debut proceeded to do his stuff by pitching a shutout, and although McGay was right, he couldn ' t find Speck ' s weakness, because he didn ' t have any. The second game was won easily, 6 to 3, and as soon as Hartzog and Blister could find their be- longings, the crew set out to Gulfport. Rain (the ruination of many ball clubs) turned the tables and saved the Coast City team a good trouncing. Tulane — Monk Simon (pure and simple) and the rest of New Orleans was primed for Chapman in the next tilt, but the boy with the long arms and the steady nerve was ready for them with ten strikeouts, and did not allow a hit after the third inning. Cor- ley got two doubles to help his battery mate along, and after nine hits and five runs had been collected on our side, the Greenies could show only five hits and three runs. The next game, with Bolton on the mound for the Maroons, was won in easy style, 14 to 4. With Peel, Thompson, Hopper, Bolton, and Noble collecting seventeen safe blows, the Aggies had a field day, while Tulane could amass only four hits. L. S. U. — Not satisfied with two wins at the start of the Louisiana campaign, the L. S. U. Tigers were caught in their lair at Baton Rouge, and after rain had held the Bulldog at bay for a day, he came back in the mud to finish his prey with a 12 to 4 score. Chapman was again the winner. This completed the trip, so the Bulldogs came on back home to Starkville with five wins in five starts. Chapman, a sophomore, was re- sponsible for three wins. He had pitched the kind of ball that elevated him from the rookie class, and stamped him as a veteran. eRIS-LER. - R CHAPMATvL-P Illinois — The Bulldogs had hardly settled themselves at home before the Mighty Illini came down with all their war paint and using a modern baseball bat instead of a tomahawk, proceeded to beat off the Bull- dogs ' advances. A lone run in that hotly contested game decided it in their favor, 5 to 4. They doubled this margin the second 131 LO WER- s.s. day, and came out in the lead 6 to 4. The Illini showed that they had a ball club by playing the game, and they were not be- grudged their victories. Iowa — No sooner had the Illini departed than the Corn Huskers from the University of Iowa came in fo r the wrath of the Maroons, and another win w r as added on the 132 column for the Aggies. This time the score was 13 to 4. It might have been this 13 that was unlucky for A. M. At any rate, the Iowans showed a new crop of corn (not iquid) the next day, and departed with a 4 to 2 win in a very erratic game of basebal Mississippi College — With the Northern games past and forgotten, the Choctaws came up with a clean fighting, smooth fielding team and took the Maroons on, but they were at a loss to connect with Chapman ' s fast ones, and went down to the score of 4 to 1. Pick Noble had helped the cause along with a home run, and Corley, Amsler, and Hopper accouunted for the other trio. The second game was not so close, but the home town folks received a scare when Harris put one in Red Holliday ' s groove and aforemen- tioned Holliday slapped it over the dump in deep left, bringing in Johnson and Hall. Stringer came to Harris ' rescue, and while he got into hot water several times, he al- ways pulled out of the holes, and the end of the game saw A. M. on the long end of a 10 to 5 score. L. S. U. — L. S. U. decided that they could do better on A. M. territory, so they came up for two games. The first was the same old story — too much Chapman, and with the assistance of Corley, Loewer, and Hopper, the Maroons won easily, 11 to 3. Although Chapman was a little wild at times, he was given good support and was never in any great danger. The Tigers apparently got tired of being the under dog all the time, because they used their bats and claws to advantage the fol- lowing day, winning 9 to 7. The game was featured by the slugging of Stovall, Jones, and Heath of L. S. U., and the home run of Hopper for A. M. Corley, Bates, and Noble also starred with the stick. In the opinion of one sports writer, the game was wild and woolly, lasting two hours and a half, and was the poorest exhibition of the season for A M. Mississippi College — With one leg already won on the state championship race by vir- tue of two wins over Mississippi College, Noble and Company took the I. C. for Jack- son and continued the good work by taking the next two, 4 to o and 17 to 2. Chapman was invincible in the first game, striking out eleven and allowing one scratch hit. The second was a game like you read about but seldom see. The Maroons collected sixteen hits and seventeen runs, with Crigler pitch- ing straight up baseball. The Clintonians used every available pitcher, but to no avail. Clay Hopper was a little better than the rest, and drove out a circuit clout that was s the longest drive ever made at Clinton. Crigler turned in four hits out of six times up. Ole Miss — The next obstacle in the path of the intended state champions was Ole Miss, with a corking good team. Some 2,500 people, who made Chad grin from ear to ear as their dollars sunk into the box office, were out to see the Mighty Mississippians subdued. The Maroons were never in doubt after the second inning when Thompson met Elmore ' s twister face to face for a triple, and then scored on Peel ' s screaming single that made Elmore shift his dogs for dear life. Peel decided that one run was not enough to take the chest off the Shield and Hazel combine, so he added another in the eighth by reaching first on Marshall ' s error, going to third on Hartzog ' s single, and finishing the job by way of Noble ' s long sacrifice fly. The second Ole Miss game caused many a gray hair to sprout before its time. The Oxford men scored four runs when Marshall and Shamburger hit home runs with men on the bags. They collected two more in the fifth after A. M. had driven Shamburger from the mound with a barrage of hits, and Amsler ' s home run had tied the score. Burke relieved Shamburger with the score 6 to 5 in his favor, and held this lead until the ninth, and then the fun began. Speck Loewer, the first man up, hit the first ball pitched for a triple. Coach Shields yanked Burke, and produced Elmore, who was to do the iron man act. Amsler greeted him with a single, and Loewer trotted home with the tying run as the fans went wild, and the Ole Miss cowbell suddenly ceased. Elmore fur- ther gladdened the heart of every Maroon by walking Corley and Thompson, thereby fill- ing the bases. Peel hit to the infield, and Amsler was out at the plate. Coach Noble sent Priester in to hit for Hartzog, and he slammed one down Marshall ' s throat, so to speak, and Corley rode in upon the seat of his pants for the winning run. Alabama — With Ole Miss crying the old familiar We will get you in Oxford, the Bulldogs rambled over to Tuscaloosa to split a two-game series with the Crimson Tide of Pasadena fame. Due to the mighty slugging of Barnes and Pepper, and ragged playing by A. M., the first game (and Chapman ' s first conference loss of the season) was dropped to ' Bama by the score of 6 to 3. The next day brought forth an entirely different tale, and with Harris in great form, and an airtight Maroon infield, the Tide was turned back, 8 to 6. Six runs were garnered off Moore and Tubbs in the first two innings HAtePlS ' -I? by hard hitting on the part of the Bulldogs. Another was addeil in the fourth, and then Clay Hopper ended the scoring in the eighth by stealing home, a frequent pastime of his. Alabama collected six runs mainly through errors of the A. M. outfield, which wasn ' t enough to offset the eight that A. M. had already piled up, so the series stood at one 133 THOMPSON.-- T .E TsLOBL -ia- all as the two teams moved over to Hardy Hill to complete the five-game set. The first affray on the home soil was a nightmare of ragged playing, and ended 3 to 1 for the Wademen. Corley let one get away from him in the third when he threw over Loewer ' s head at second and three men scored. The one bright spot for the Maroons was the long drive of Bolton, who bounced one over on the railroad track and trotted around the sacks while the spectators viewed with awe the longest hit ever made on Hardy- Hill. With twenty-four hours ' rest, the battle was waged again, and this time the series was again tied as A. M. won an eleven-inning thriller 5 to 4. Although Chapman pitched the day before, he covered himself with glory by relieving Crigler in the sixth frame and pitching jam up ball the rest of the way. The Maroons were leading 4 to 3 at the beginning of the ninth, but Connaster tripled and Rosenfield singled, tying the score. Things rocked along until the eleventh when Vin- cent muffed Hopper ' s pop fly, said Hopper going to second at goodly speed. Two were out, and darkness demanded that this be the last inning. Amsler answered our prayers by crashing out a home run in the gap be- tween left and center, and thus the series was knotted. The fifth and last game was won for A. .- M. by the pitching and hitting of Chap- man, and the accurate fielding and hard hitting of the entire team. Although the girls from M. S. C. W. failed to show up as promised, the Maroons played as if they were on every bleacher seat. The final score after the scorekeeper had scratched his head some twenty times was A. M. 10, Alabama 4. Rosenfield made a valiant effort to win for the Tide with a home run and a triple, but Loewer was on the job with two triples and Chapman with one. This game ended the home season, although an eight-game trip remained. The services of Hopper, college player supreme, were lost for this trip be- cause of an injured knee received in sliding. Ole Miss — As senior exams rolled around and students began to think of home, the team journeyed over to Oxford and dropped a two-game set to Ole Miss on account of some brilliant playing on the part of the local lads. Allen proceeded to stop griping long enough to crack out a home run with two on, and win the game as it ended, 7 to 6. The win- ning run, however, was scored in the eighth frame when Harzog threw a hunk of mud instead of the ball to Bates on third, and the winning run passed the plate unhindered. The second game was lost by poor hitting, as A. M. cashed in only one scratch hit — a single through second by Amsler. Wood accounted for the lone tally of the game by hitting a round trip liner over Amsler ' s head. The bright spot for A. M. was the field- ing of Bates, who never let up, and was credited with several grandstand stops at the hot corner. V % n Vanderbilt — With a paper claim on the state title by way of the percentage column, an advance was made upon the Vanderbilt Commodores at Nashville. The first game was a heartbreaker, as the ninth was reached with a i to o score in A. M. ' s favor. With two out and nobody on base in the last half of the ninth, and the game practically won, Vandy set upon Bolton for two hit;-, and aided by an error, collected two runs and the ball game. The second game was a free-hitting affair, ending 7 to 6 for A. M. and featured by the hitting of Thompson, Stuart, and Corley. Kentucky — After a day ' s rest and a look-on at the Louisville and Indianapolis tie-up at Louisville in the International Association, the A. h M. Pullman sidetracked at Lexing- ton, and the Kentucky Wildcats proceeded to chew the makeshift Bulldog to bits. The seniors had to go back to school for exams, with the exception of Bolton and Amsler. This left a green team, and this, coupled with heavy hitting by Kentucky, caused a loss of both games, 6 to 2 and 12 to 4. Illinois — Then the Bulldog braced and met the Mighty Illini man for man at Urbana. The first affair was nip and tuck until the ninth, when the same old jinx which had troubled at Vanderbilt stepped forth again. Two men were out, nobody on base, and the score tied when Illinois produced two runs out of a clear sky, taking the game 5 co 4. The second game, and the last one of the season, was an A. M. victory from the start. Stuart led off with a triple and the fireworks never stopped. The final score was 14 to 7. The game was a superb victory for Bolton in his last appearance in an A. M. uniform. With the last crack of the bat, A. M. turned from baseball to exams, with a re- view of a fairly successful record. The sum- mary was: Won, 18; lost, n. The results of the game appear below. The season closed ending the college career of Bolton, Amsler, Hopper, Corley, Peel, Crigler, Loewer, Hartzog and Stringer. It is with a feeling of remorse and regret that we realize that they will not he with us in the season that is to come; hut we know that their deeds and triumphs will be long remembered and talked of around the wind-swept waste known as Tack Hardv ' s Hill.

The first year men showing most promise were Nash and Huffman, catchers; McClellan, an infielder; Smith and McGehee, pitchers; and Harris in the outer garden. Patterson, Hull, and Brown played good ball for the Freshies, but failed to return to school at the beginning of their Sophomore year. Nash and Huffman proved themselves good receivers, and also showed that they could use the stick to a fine degree of accuracy. Smith and McGehee bore the brunt of the pitching, and though not consistent winners, they pitched creditable ball against good teams and demonstrated the fact that they would soon see varsity mound service. McClelland, the most promising prospect of them all. showed clever work at the bat and in the field. The other necessary qualification of a ball player, namely, running, will be picked up under the tutelage of Coach Noble, and Mac will show ' em something next year. The freshman has a stance at the bat that resembles that of Buddy Meyer, of hard-hitting fame. He swings a wicked stick, and seldom poops up as he is a firm believer in the Newtonian theory of geometric space, and holds to the idea that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. The season ' s schedule contained eight games. Three of the eight were won and five lost. Tupelo Military Institute, with the able assistance of Lefty ' ' Gore, took the initial encounter from the frosh. The second game was a complete reversal of form for A. and M., and they hopped on Kiern for enough hits to win. The ' Bama Rats took two games in a row by their ability to sock the ball to all corners of Denny Field. It looked like a runaway for A. and M. when McClellan hit the first ball pitched for a home. run. ' Bama hit like they always do, and although Huffman and one or two others smashed out some long drives, the Rats took the long end of each summary. Laurel was defeated twice by close scores. The A. and M. mound men used the dark ball, and everybody used the stick freely. The season was ended by dividing a two-game series with Electric Mills. Although this strong team has played A. and M. for four years, it was the first time the Freshmen had ever handed them a defeat, and showed that the men of ' 29 were not so worse by a long shot. 136 mmm Captain Ring Bryant Ring has the annoying habit of worrying his opponents by throwing the ball before it reaches him. The main thing they kick about is the regularity with which the ball sails into the basket when thrown in such a manner. An unfortunate upset in the Auburn game put him out of the greater part of the season with a bad knee, but he never quit, and tried to work on just the same. We of A. and M. don ' t forget that kind of fighting spirit. Back Row — Turner, Pate, Sylvester, Bryant, Chadwick, McDougal (manager), Meredith, Coach Bierman Front Row — Meredith, Hartness, Jones, Berry, Ricks, Harris Basketball With the passing of Thanksgiving and the pigskin sport, the eyes of every loyal A. M. man turned to the building familiarly known as the gym. Expectations were high, for it was remembered that only one man was lost from the fighting team that battled its way into the runner-up position the year before in one of the most thrilling spectacles ever staged in At- lanta. It was undoubtedly uppermost in the minds of all that the loss of this man Stone was a great one, but the common opinion was that this handicap could be overcome by added experience of the older men and the tutoring of Coach Bierman. The team took shape quickly, and looked like a real championship contender from the start. Jones, Hartness, and Ricks were all in fine condition due to football, and the other boys had been working out a good part of the fall, so the first week found Coach Bierma n scrimmaging his charges in earnest. When the student body entrained for the Christmas holidays and left the team at school, the general opinion was that they would come through the holiday season without a loss. This the team did, and they were regarded on the campus as a real championship machine. Then some- thing happened that no one had predicted, and which changed the entire outlook for A. M. Ricks and Bryant, two major performers, and the chief scoring men on the team, were injured in a knock-down-drag-out affair at Auburn. These injuries practically finished them for the season, and although the substitutes who filled their places performed valiantly, the team com- bination was lost. The season, as a whole, was successful, and but for an unfortunate drawing at the tournament, the team would undoubtedly have been in the running. 138 Harris Beverly Ricks, Forward Red, the rambling flash who never stops from the opening whistle until the final gun, was probably A. M. ' s best prospect for All-Southern honors. He outshone all opposition until he was injured in the Auburn tilt. This laid him up for a while, but he came back with that same old red-headed scrap that characterized his early season play, and was going great guns at the final bell. Bryant, Center Ring, so named because he couldn ' t miss the wicker, was a bear on shots, long or short. As the Sewanee coach expressed it, his men couldn ' t guard Ring because he threw the ball, seem- ingly, before he got it. Then came the Auburn melee, and the captain was laid up for the re- mainder of the regular season. However, he was not to be denied, and came back at the tourna- ment to play way above the average while dragging the old injured knee that would have kept most men in bed. Jones, Center and Guard When injuries put Captain Bryant out of the game, Ole Lady took over the job of leading the quintet. When the new ones began to falter and it looked like a bad night for A. M., it was always Ole Lady who called time out and pulled them together with a knack that no other man had. He kept everybody scrapping by setting the example. The season puts manv marks in Ole Lady ' s crown. A. M. can never forget how he fought at the tournament when pitted against a man almost twice his size. He met him as man to man, and kept things even until he went out on four so-called personal fouls. We could write a book on this Jones, but it is not needed. Back in our memories are thoughts of him that will last as long as there is an A. M. HARTNESS, Guard Papa played the difficult position of guard. He had the misfortune to play the whole season and never find a man to guard that was as small :is he. However he guarded them all alike, and few points were made over him when he was right. He has another year, and with a little more practice on goal shooting he will be invincible. Berry, Guard Phil is the boy who likes to tantalize the opposing forward by slipping down and throwing a few goals for himself. He is a good guard and a rambling demon. He gets down the court fast, and his opposition must be continually on the alert, for be is almost as good a forward as he is a guard, which makes him an ideal combination. 139 Sl Harris, Forward Jerry is probably the smallest man in Southern basketball, but he makes up with it in speed. He is acclaimed by critics as the fastest man to ever play on the A. M. floor. As a certain player remarked, Harris ran twenty miles in that game, while I followed him the first fifteen. He naturally has the boys ' tongues hanging out. With a little more experience he will be All- Southern material. Sylvester, Center Oyster Joe, the ever-ready center who was always in there doing his best, fought so hard because he played to win. He climbed upon the team this year after two years of scrubbing, and earned his letter by sheer grit and determination. You can ' t stop Oyster in anything because he is willing to work for what he wants. He ' s everlastingly at it. That is why so many opposing centers went home conquered this year. W. R. Meredith, Forward The Rabbit stepped in the breach left by the injuries of Ricks and Bryant, and performed in veteran-like style. He was probably the best scorer on the team. CHADWICK, Guard Gene is a good man to run in as guard because he is tall and rangy, and will give any man a hard time. For two years he has been almost there, and we will bet our last foot of meal- book that next year will find him a star performer at Atlanta. Pate Benny is light and inexperienced, but he improved wonderfully this year, and another regular season should find him ready for real duty. Turner Ira scrapped them for four years, and although never really making the team as an in- dividual, he made his share of it by his willingness and stickability. 140 r mm % Turner ames The A. M. basketeers donned uniforms for their first tilt at Hattiesburg. This was the start of a trip that showed the true Christmas spirit, in that not a loss was charged against the Bulldogs, while five wins were put in the rack to dry. These teams included State Teachers, St. Stanislaus, Loyola, Mobile Y, and Meridian All-Stars. Then the boys disbanded for the holidays, but gathered back on the campus in time to give Sewanee a sound licking soon after school started. The games so far had been complete triumphs for A. M , and the hope for a championship team was in every heart. Then like a crash from a blue sky the mighty services of Ricks and Bryant were lost almost the entire season in the Auburn tilt, and although the Bulldog emerged with a split series, nothing could make up for the loss of these phenomenal performers. After the Auburn fracas, Coach Bierman hastily patched the team together, and the strong machine of the Birmingham Athletic Club was defeated the following night by a one-point score. The new quintet took on form and confidence rapidly, and when they reached Clinton, the Choctaws were easy sailing. Two more conference wins were nailed upon the banner at New Orleans when Tulane was handed two reverses in as many starts. The practice was somewhat interrupted by exams the next week, but the hard-driving Maroons plugged their way through and met Vanderbilt in the local gym on the night after exams. Old Lady Jones was right, and put A. M. in the lead from the start. However, Stuart of Vandy was also right, and he proceeded to do his stuff to such an extent that Vandy was leading at the half by a 19 to n score. A. M. came back in great style to tie it up, and the remainder of the game was one thrill after another as the score was constantly tied. Moss dropped one in just before the final gun that spelled defeat for the Maroons in one of the most exciting games ever played at A. M. Then came Hazel and his Mighty Mississippians. They bowed their lofty heads to Jones and Company the first night by a one-sided score, and then came back fighting the second night. The combination of Jones, Berry, Hartness, Meredith, and Harris was too much for them, and with Sylvester coming in for his share of the glory, the Oxford boys were buried in defeat. A. M. followed them back to Oxford, but Shelby was right, and Ole Miss won the first one. Then came the second, a hectic affair in which the referee was undoubtedly the best man Ole 141 wm Miss had. This left the state championship in a knot, but it was quickly untied when Mississippi College presented the best team Coach Bohler has brought to A. M., and they copped both games of a double bill. The first was easy sailing for the Choctaws, and the second was going the same way when High Split Meredith was released into the fray. He got busy to ringing ' em, and the lead was quickly reduced. The Choctaws were not to be denied, and led by Peeler and Chain, two sure shots, they kept the lead until the finish, when only a four-point margin was the separating distance. The Birmingham Athletic Club, with Vincent up, was the next loser to the Maroons on ac- count of the brilliant floor work of Ole Lady Jones, and the accurate shooting of Harris, Meredith and Berry. The Crimson Tide rolled over for the next fray, but it was hurled back under an avalanche of field goals from the hands of every member of the team. The game marked the return of Ricks to playing form, and Bryant got into the play for a short period. Alabama was unable to score a field goal in the first half, but secured several in the second half after Coach Bierman had made numerous substitutions. The next game was played in Tuscaloosa, and resulted in a victory for ' Bama through some freak that only Bull Roberts would know about. Thus ended the regular season, but the tournament remained. Y 7 A Conf erence It was hard luck that caused A. and M. to be put in the same bracket with Georgia Tech. This outfit from Atlanta had a basketball team in the form of one man, Tiny Hearn. He weighs about 220 pounds and is 6 feet, 9 inches tall. According to Atlanta, A. and M. couldn ' t beat Tech if Hearn was right. Hearn happened to be right. Although guarded at every turn by Jones and Hartness, he used his height to such an advantage that he accounted for 24 points, which was as many as the whole A. and M. team could make ; so the game ended 40 to 24. No fault could be found with the playing of the A. and M. men, and Jones, Bryant, and Syl- vester, even in defeat, ended their careers in a blaze of glory.

Coach Bierman began conditioning work early in March and by the middle of April the Aggies were, as usual, able to win more points in the Georgia Tech relays than any other team. Every dual meet was won with points to spare, but on account of injuries and the great distance to conference meet, the Aggies were unable to send a representative team comparable to those that won the cham- pionships in ' 23, ' 24 and ' 25. The season as a whole was a good one, and the A. M. boys again impressed on their opponents their power and strength on the track and field. Tulane University A. M. won her fourth conference dual track and field meet on May 9, when she defeated the Tulane runners in the Tulane stadium, New Orleans, by a score of 62 2 to 48J 2. Although the Maroons were represented by only eleven men, they met with very little difficulty in getting a win. Fast time was made in both the 100-vard dash and the half-mile run. Killeen won the 100 144 FUGATE HlLLMAN in ten flat, and DeGarmo won the half in one minute and 59 3-5 seconds. Two other firsts, the 220-yard dash and the 220-yard low hurdles, were the only other first places, and the Aggies lost in the track, while on the field, Chamberlain of Tulane took first in the high jump. Hillman and Fulton accounted for themselves in a very agreeable fashion with the weights, while Clark came through with a win in the broad jump with 22 feet 3 inches as the mark. Turner won the quarter mile, while Barfield placed second in the 440 and 220, and third in the 100 and 880. This was the first time the Aggies had met the Tulanians in such a contest. Coach Bierman was anxious to hand a defeat to his former charges, and his A. M. Bulldogs were only too willing to fulfill his wishes. The Tulane boys were a dandy bunch, however, and every Maroon Cinder Slinger has the utmost respect for their ability. Georgia Tech Relays Saturday, April 10, 1926, found seventeen Maroon tracksters ready to tear out in the annual Southern relays held at Georgia Tech each year. Competition was unusually close in all depart- ments, and Aggie runners were forced to be content with one first, the mile relay; two seconds, the distance medley and the four-mile relay; and one third, the sprint medley, which they won in 1926. The mile relay was composed of Barfield, Old Lady Jones, Holloway, and Turner, running in the order named. They took first place in three minutes and 27.4 seconds, with Vandy second, and Georgia Tech third. In the distance medley, Barfield, Jones, Smith and Robinson represented the Maroon and White, but Coach Billy Hayes ' boys from the Hoosier State proved too much for them, forging ahead to win after a thrilling sprint down the straightaway. 145 Turner E. B. Jokes North Carolina won the four-mile relay over the Aggie team, which was composed of Rainey, Robinson, McReynolds and Tackett. After a race replete with thrills from the start to the breaking of the tape, Clemson College won the sprint medley relay, with University of Havana second, and Mississippi A. M. third. Those running for A. M. were Cato, Turner, Barfield and Smith. It was with a great deal of displeasure that these Cinder Eaters , in this race relinquished their hold on the beautiful sprint medley trophy they won the year before. The A. M. freshmen mile relay team, composed of Alley, Webb, Weissinger and Axtell, were beaten out by Vandy for first place in three minutes and thirty-seven seconds. The University of North Carolina, entering five events, taking three firsts, one second and one third, carried off the best record of the day. North Carolina, however, won one relay and got third in another, their own places coming from special events. The Aggies won one relay, got two seconds and one third in the three others they entered. Who carried off the relav honors? VA University of Mississippi Meet For the first time in the history of A. k M. athletics, a track squad came down from Oxford for a dual track and field meet. Last year the Maroons handed them an 85 to 27 defeat at Ox- ford. This was the first Red and Blue team on the campus during the year, and enthusiasm was at high pitch. At the end of the last event the scorers were compelled to announce another A. M. victory, this time 84 1-6 to 32 5-6. It was just another time that the Aggies had upset a team of Uni- versity representatives. B RONEY Robinson Competition, however, was keener than the score indicates. The sprints were heated, and the Maroons were forced to the limit often. Middlbrook forged ahead of Jones to win the quarter in 51 3-5 seconds for the only Ole Miss first place. E. W. Jones was high scorer, taking first place in pole vault, high and low hurdles for a total of fifteen points. Clark distinguished himself in the broad jump, clearing the turf 22 feet and 2 ? inches. Coach Bierman gave all his men an opportunity to show their goods, and several acquitted themselves very creditably. No unusual times were made on the track, nor were there any field records broken. The Aggies love competition though, especially the Ole Miss variety, so nobody was concerned much about the records. University 01 Alabama Meet Last year the girls in Blue were our visitors when the A. M. track men were hosts to the Crimson and White runners of the University. The Bulldogs proved the better by a score of 103 to 22. This year Coach Bierman ' s racers met the Alabamians on their own campus in a return affair, which resulted in a Maroon victory — 84 1 ? to 34J 2. Alabama has never had a well balanced team, hut usually has one or two outstanding men who are first-class performers. They were unable to win more than two firsts from the Aggies, and in many departments competition for the Maroons was not available. Coach Bierman used a great deal of his reserve strength in order to rest some of his men for the Tulane meet and the conference soon to follow. 147 Tackett Louisiana State University Meet L. S. U. is the old-time rival of the Maroons in every field of sport. They have had teams that won consistently for a number of years. Twice in ten years they have been Southern cham- pions, and nearly always have been among the first three to finish in the conference meet. Tad Gormley, the veteran Louisiana coach, due to his winning teams and years of coaching, has become nearly as famous throughout the South as a track mentor as our former coach, Billy Hayes. The A. M. runners proved themselves superior to the visiting tracksters by the score of 59 4 to 52J 2. The results showed fine form and real track ability. The marks were kept down some on account of a heavy track, but fast, hotly contested races were the order of the day, and many times the outcome of the meet was in doubt. L. S. U. won first places in the 100, 220, and 440-yard dashes, in which departments they were strongest, but they lacked the endurance to fight out wins in any of the distances. Jones was again high point man for the meet, repeating his wins of the week before over Ole Miss for a total of fifteen points. The contests were attended by a large crowd, composed mostly of high school athletes and coachces, gathered on the campus for the annual state high school athletic meet. They were guests of the athletic department, and helped cheer the Maroons on to another victory over L. S. U. Cross Country A. M. met and successfully defeated the Mississippi College men in 1926 over a three-mile course. They met the Choctaws again that year, but fortune favored the Baptists, who won, 28 to 27. The Maroons entered teams in the Birmingham road race in ' 25 and ' 26, taking second and third places respectively. Competition of the highest type has been encountered, and the Maroons have not been able to win the third leg of the S. I. C. trophy, on which they at present hold two. Georgia, Georgia Tech and Auburn each hold two legs. The teams were composed of Rainey, captain; N. J. Smith, Mullins, Cooper, Mann and Rasberry. 14S ani i ' A TKe REVEILLE V ' W v . i . vm yc jl x: J fe3r ■ k ' ' 149 Left to right — Chamberi.es, Simpson 7 , Yeates, Jones, Bii.i.ixcsley, Gilmore, Morris, Brister (manager). Boxing Team The A. M. boxing team, although still in its infancy, is making rapid strides, and at the present rate will soon be recognized in the Southern Conference. The team was organized about four years ago under the direction of H. T. Hewes, a former Navy fighter. After Hewes ' graduation, one of his pupils, Jimmy Yeates, took charge and has been working ever since to train scrappers to represent A. M. Attempts were made to stage intercollegiate bouts with colleges of Louisiana last year, but financial matters prevented. This year, however, an engagement with the University of Florida has been arranged. Seven A. M. fighters will fight seven Floridians. Boxing is a minor sport, but it holds its place in the Southern Conference. A boxing tournament is held each year. This time it will be staged at the University of Vir- ginia. All colleges in the Southern Conference are eligible, and if financial matters can be arranged, A. M. ' s best will represent them there. A wealth of material has been found and all are in train- ing now. The men in whom Yeates places his hopes are Simpson, Jones, Gilmore, Chamberles, and Billingsley. Some of these are experienced fighters and will give anyone in their classes a battle royal.

These men are picked by elimination, therefore, the best material in the Club constitutes the Team. From time to time, as better material is developed, changes in the membership of the Team are affected. Clean sportsmanship and the survival of the fittest is the rule, and no one questions decisions made by their own record. With very capable instructors, excellent equipment, and keen rivalry, the Team boasts of being the best in the South, and is excelled by few in the country. The secret of real shooting is the trigger squeeze, and Mississippians, long accustomed to handling the rifle, have that point as a habit. A rifle in the hands of a Southerner naturally feels at home. It will shoot with such uncanny precisions that even the owner will be amazed, and cannot help feeling a sort of reverence for such a dependable companion. Fireside stories of the almost unbelievable feats performed by rifles in the hands of our Southern forefathers will live for ages to come. With such high standards to work toward, and the natural ability that they possessed, the sport is rapidly becoming so popular that many excellent marksmen are to be found in the colleges all over the South. That is particularly the case here at A. and M. This Is the first year that an efficiently organized rifle team existed at the College. The entire student body seems to have greater interest in the results obtained by the Rifle Team, and are rapidly beginning to learn how much of a sport it really is. The Rifle Team has a wider range of competition, and will enter more matches than all the other organizations on the campus combined. Many colleges have become famous on account of their rifle teams. One thinks of it the minute the college is mentioned. The A. and M. Rifle Team is already forging to the top in Who ' s Who. Next year it hopes to bring to A. and M. the Hearst ' s Trophy, a prize that has never been south of the Mason and Dixon Line. 151 PggjP (fgw fa]@®@ MOM®® §[? ®© ' u ' § SW(I ©M@K)W T© frO Vli HOW A SOU PLOWSHftBf AMD THE tomato A SHINNY TEAM j MAXfS A WHIP OF A SHINNY STICK BEST PUCK ON EARTH 15 A ■5QIIP CAM AND WE OOttLD «T SohE op Thc MCCHANICAL SOYS TO Bu LD 3PVERAL OF THESE AWD B6AT ANyCOLLEle.

Golf, Wrestling, Tennis, and the like seem not to go so well. Perhaps these might suffice for a time. Shinny is quite a fine game, embracing as it does all the el ements of danger and chance. There is always the possibility of getting a leg broken by a well-aimed blow from a shinny stick, and there is enough exercise about it to satsfy even a track man. One goal might be up at the Gates and the other near the entrance to Scott Field. The game is sometimes played on skates, and then a tennis ball is used. So highly successful were the results using skates in Memphis that it developed into a game of polo using bicycles. There is then the unusually good chance of swinging the shinny stick through the front wheel, and when that happens you have the sensation of leaping off an Alpine peak on skiis, and you don ' t play any more for a while. The craving for unusual hazard can be satisfied by the rig shown in the upper right. Here we have a Harlcy-Davidson motorcycle engine geared about twice too high and the frame loaded with lead slugs for low center of gravity. One of these will outrun any sort of vehicle you are liable to find, including the ordinary motorcycle cop. Several of these could be built and used in road races, and it would only be a question then of finding some school that would take us on. Of course, if you run into sand or a gravel pile with one of these with the throttle open it would be a very deplorable thing, indeed. Bridge is becoming quite a popular game all over the country, and is rapidly gaining in adherents. Poker also, is quite an exciting sport. It requires real skill to hold a really good hand of poker, inasmuch as it is occasionally necessary to produce an ace out of the shoe or the sleeve on very short notice. It is sometimes done by rubberbands or merely flipping the kerchief out of the coat pocket. Of course, if your opponents manage to lamp you at it, you will have acted wisely to have kept up all the payments on your life insurance policy. Now we come to the sport whose popularity has already been amply proven, particularly in 400 section. There are some remarkably good hosemen in 400, and doubtless there are many others. For instance, on the night of the Junior Banquet of the Class of ' 27, the boys in 100 had the steps blocked with furniture and the nozzle protruding through it. That showed ingenuity. All that remains is to get a couple of these water hounds face to face and at the count of three open the valves. It is safe to say that water fighting is the cleanest sport on earth, and if stepping on a guy ' s face on a muddy football field is called clean sport, then this could be called IMMACULATE. MILITARY Robert E. Grinstead Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. A., Reiirrd Professor of Military Science and Tactics Colonel Grinstead has served twenty-eight years in the volunteer and regular service. In that time he has been stationed in various places in the United States, from Canada to Mexico, and from the At- lantic to the Pacific. He served over six years in the Philippines in four different tours of duty, and in France and Germany in 19 19 to 1921. He was made a Lieutenant-Colonel in 1920. i55 Capt. Cornell attends to the discipline of the Corps. He is assisted by the president, the dormi- tory inspectors and the Board of Deans. He doesn ' t encourage hazing to any noticeable extent, and he doesn ' t fail to bear down on the inspectors when freshmen complain that the life here at A. and M. is more than their system is able to stand. An un- derclassman would rather meet a whole crowd of spirits all completely equipped with white flowing robes and clanking chains than to exchange greet- ings with him uptown at night without a permit, also. After making note of the inspectors ' reports, verifying the lists of fellows who missed chapel or were wearing a brown derby or a red tie with the regulation uniform, teaching sev- eral infantry classes, signing forth ' leven permits and writing as many letters to fel- lows ' parents informing them that their sons are not so bad even if they have got 58 demerits, to say nothing of directing the Glee Club a couple of hours, the rest of the day is his to do with as he pleases.

C.) hears of some- thing new that the Coast Artillery is beginning to use, he doesn ' t wait several years until the War Department appropriates it to the school. He just goes to work and builds it ; a lot of times, builds •something that the Department never heard about. A well equipped machine shop under his direction is of very material assistance, but it would be of no service to the Military Department if he was not ready at any time to use it to assist it in its work. After he has the new device built, the staff of sergeants install it. Then the instructors drill it into the cadets. The War Department appreciates that kind of work. It isn ' t being done eve:y- where, by a long shot. We are proud that Capt. Lucas, who is one of our own men, is so intimately connected with work which is so vital to the United States ' defense in time of war, and we know that we are indebted to him in a large measure for the enviable position the Coast Artillery Unit of the College holds: Number ONE in the United States. Sct. Lewis, Sgt. Porter, Sgt. Nowlin, Sgt. Palmer iS7 m Infantry Unit The infantry unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College has in its course of study for the four academic years many and various sub- jects. The infantry itself has been called the queen of battles because small infantry units win small combats, thereby causing an army to win a large battle. The infantry platoon has been referred to as the keen cutting edge of the military tool. All other branches are auxiliary to the infantry. They exist solely to aid it. The infantry in all of its ramifications and with all of its weapons, while not considered a technical branch, has since the late unpleasantness required a great deal of technical training to develop untrained men into the specialists which they must be to enable them to perform their duties as private soldiers. In the freshman year the student is concerned with the study of military courtesy, drill, rifle marksmanship, military hygiene and first aid, and physical drill. Military courtesy is a military way of expressing common courtesies. Drill is considered basic for all branches of service, and is therefore taught in all four years. Hygiene deals with individual and group hygiene, and first aid with relief measures for the sick and injured. The sophomore takes up scouting and patrolling, interior guard duty, automatic rifle, musketry, and drill. The student is taught to strip and assemble the rifle, how the parts function in firing, and how to fire. In musketry fire distribution, fire control and fire discipline emphasis is laid on teamwork. In the junior year, courses are given in military sketching and map reading, military field engineering and combat principles of defense, machine guns, military law, rules of land warfare, and drill. The student learns to make a sketch of an area, including contouring, and how to read a map — information which all Americans should have. Military field engineering teaches the relation of obstacles to trenches and the use of all as an aid in the defense of a position. The study of machine guns includes stripping and assembling, functioning of the gun, selection of and occupation of gun positions, and tactical employment of the gun. The seniors study the 37-mm. gun and the three-inch mortar, military history and military policy, administration, tactics and drill, stripping, assembling, and functioning of the two weapons, how to fire them, and how to employ them in battle. Tactics on combat principles teach the application of the fundamental principles of war, the ultimate purpose of which is to develop ability to lead troops in combat. 158 M tf PLOTTING ROOM DETAIL DETERMINING FIRING DATA R. O. T. C. Coast Artillery Unit urS Under the National Defense Act of 1920, nineteen heavy (coast artillery) units of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps have been established in nineteen of our best colleges and universities to instruct students specializing in civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering to become officers capable of filling the junior grades in our harbor defenses and that part of the mobile forces of our army which are manned by coast artillery troops. When our government decided to establish these training units, the leading educators of our country gave their time and thought to the problem of what the courses of study should be. Dean Hawkes, of Columbia University, answered this query in a few direct words. He says: It should be done by establishing courses of study which shall be of fundamental military value, yet thor- oughly consistent with the elements of a liberal education. The plan of the coast artillery unit at this college is as follows: Students of the School of Engineering are assigned to the coast artillery unit. The training of the freshman and sophomore years constitute the basic course and is compulsory. The training of the junior and senior years, including attendance at a summer training camp at a regular army post for six weeks, constitutes the advanced course and is voluntary. There is no expense to the student involved in taking the basic or advanced course — uniforms, books, and equipment are furnished, but remain the property of the War Department. Property valued at nearly $200,000 has been loaned the college by the War Department for use by the coast artillery unit in carrying out its schedule of in- struction. This is indicative of the seriousness of purpose with which the War Department has entered this work. Upon the successful completion of the advanced course of instruction, selected students are commissioned as second lieutenants in the coast artillery of the Officers ' Reserve Corps. Three of our honor graduates have been commissioned as second lieutenants in the coast ar- tillerv corps of the regular army. One is stationed at Camp Eustis, Virginia; one in the Hawaiian Islands, and one at Fort Barrancas, Florida. On one or more occasions the officer in charge of the Coast Artillery Reserve Officers ' Train- ing Corps at Washington has stated that he has rated the unit at Mississippi A. M. College as NUMBER ONE in the United States. The coast artillery unit forms the second battalion of our cadet regiment, while our infantry unit forms the first battalion. Together they have re- ceived the War Department rating DISTINGUISHED three times. Those who have grad- uated and passed on look to those who remain at A. M. to keep up the good work. 159 mm w, Miss Kittie Sue Johnson Sponsor F. L. McNatt First Lieutenant Adjutant 1 62 mm J W. W. Gavin . H. E. Woodruff iOmpany Officers in Command . Captain T. O.

His idea is to get the cheer over with so he can start another, and they never drag while this restless youth goes through the daily dozen. The megaphone he uses is about as tall as he is, but he has a voice that can fill ' em, no matter how big they come. He has the pep that would make a bottle of Mexican chili sauce throw up its mitts and quit, and if you think that ' s not so hot, you have nothing to worry about in the other life. Red Pepper, so named because he can fry an egg at a distance of ten feet by merely letting it take a look at him when he is without a hat, possesses a rare voice of exceeding quality, and the way he scatters it around the surrounding terrain while a game is on would be enough to make his folks alarmed for fear he would break his vocal cords, larynx, epiglottis, and what have you. Red isn ' t any big guy in stature at all, and ;folks wonder where the big noise all comes from. He I a quite a lover of dramatics, though, and we guess he must have gotten some of the practice from exclaiming, Curses! Foiled again! or something like that. Raz has had considerable practice calling hogs, judging from the persuasive excellence of his diction whenever he is coming in from somewhere after midnight, so it is easy to see where all his racket comes from. Raz is naturally a noisy youth, anyway. A whisper of his would be enough to scare away the fish anywhere around. He it at home with a megaphone, and he is about as reticent to turn noise loose in a game as a fellow would be to rid himself of a royal flush in an ace-in-the-shoe contest. Ashford, Creekmore, Carroll, Holmes, Sylvester Student Association Officers C. R. Ashford President Miss Hortense Creekmore Sponsor E. P. Sylvester Vice-President H. B. Carroll Secretary-Treasurer Miss Lucille Holmes Maid W The Student Association is the administrative organization of the A. and M. student body. Questions which concern the entire student body are discussed at the called meetings in the Col- lege chapel. Whenever a meeting is called, practically the whole school turns out. Very fluent oratory is sometimes encountered like unto that occasionally heard in the Legislature. This gives us reason to hope that we may at last expect to have some A. and M. men on that body. Then, too, there ' s always the fellow with us who doesn ' t know exactly what it ' s all about, but who feels the need of voicing his opinion at some length. Time, of course, is cheap at A. and M., but not quite to that extent. That kind of expression, however, is dying, and the past year has seen little of it. The meetings have been more orderly under Ashford ' s presidency than they have ever been during our stay at the College. The officers have shown their efficiency by prompt attention to every considerable matter affecting the Student Body, and the Class of ' 27 wishes to take this oppor- tunity to thank them for their very beneficial service. 196 ASHFORD ASHFORD LUNDY ECKFORD StAINTON COGHLAN Student Council Officers C.

When they hear you have the thing to do they come over to shake your mitt with the expression on their face like you are too young to come to this untimely end. This cheers one up wonderfully, like a Spring day or something, and so the editor made out his will the first part of the year, bequeathing the old reliable tooth-brush to Horse Tooth Walker, and 10 bottles of Bevo to Mollegen. At this job you don ' t have time to use the tooth-brush, so Mary got that anyhow, and the Bevo all exploded awhile back when Bull Roberts got too near it with that hot gray sweater of his, so nothing now remains except the editor, who is still knocking along on all three in as good shape as ever except for two months sleep which never materialized, and a none- too-good eyesight from attempting to read copy that some fellows must have written while looking at it upside down in a mirror, because some of it is that way, and backwards, too. Some fellows, we discovered, didn ' t know how to spell their own names, and the courses they were carrying were somewhat vague. The towns where they came from were not any too familiar to them, either, or else they are spelled differently at various times of the year. We have quite a fine Senior class this time, too. Hardly a man in it will not be a success, judging from the bouquets that the write-ups threw their way. This is most gratifying, because that ' s what you come to school for. Success, though, can be interpreted in various ways. For instance, the fellow who can tell when the tumblers fall in a safe combination lock by the feel method is a success, but that kind is frowned upon everywhere except in Chicago and 400 section. The very great number of handsome boys in. school was impressed upon us, for another thing. There are some heart breakers in the outfit this year, and no mistake, judging from the pictures. A rarely fine crew to handle tea cups with three fingers are in our midst now, and those of us with maps like thugs just naturally have to take a back seat. Another thing also impressed us — the universal custom of fellows wearing their room-mates ties. Whenever we want to find where a fellow rooms, all we do is look up a picture containing that same tie, and if you go ' to that room, there he is. The only good thing about this Reveille job is that you learn to know the name of nearly every- body in school. You know guys names before you ever see them, and when you knock into them on the campus you feel like you ' ve met an old friend. Then, too, you never get into any mischief this job. You don ' t have time. 198 Dicks Business Manager Barksdale Stenographer Nickols Vinzant Assistant Business Manager Advertising Manager n Collecting money is just like pulling teeth, only harder, because when a fellow wants to get some of his bridgework yanked, he goes to the sinister gent with the shiny tongs of his own accord; but when you want to hit his pile you have to chase him all over the building. The dormitory isn ' t the most ideal place on earth to ankle around after fellows, either. Too many steps to climb. They ought to have rest rooms at the tops of some of these stairs, particularly in Band Hall and 900, or else carry oxygen tanks along to make respiration easier. Coming down isn ' t much better. There never is any light anywhere near most stairs in the dormitory, and if you ever stepped wrong on what you thought was floor and wasn ' t, you would have to sleep standing up, and eat off the man- tlepiece for a month, if not longer. There are various ways of getting the money necessary for putting out a year book, but the only legal way is to imitate a book agent or an aluminumware salss-man. It takes the patience of Job, and the persistence of a saxophone player, and in addition you have to sell ads to fellows who don ' t want any and wouldn ' t have it if you gave it to them. Counting the grains of sand at Palm Beach would be a cinch compared to getting a check from that kind of fellow. Even a politician wouldn ' t have any luck there, because you hesitate to give him a friendly slap on the back and offer him a cigar, because he has very likely intimated that the rotten weather at that time of the year (which ruined his business) made him ache all over, and tobacco in any form was abhorrent to him. His grandfather kicked in at the ago of 88 from the use of it. Then, too. there is the kind that is very courteous, and listens attentively to all you say. You begin to think that you have struck somebody that uses his ears for something better than a pencil rack. You wind up the argument, by intimating that the ad is a device whereby neither party can lose. He will then glance out the window at the negro going by in the wagon and say, NO! , and then turn around and sell out to the back of the store like he was trying to elude somebody that was trying to serve some papers on him.

This year the Club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, and has entered a number of matches under its auspices. The Club has one of the best, if not the best equipped indoor range of any college in the South. The coaches are army men who know the fine points of the shooting game. Following is a list of matches fired so far this year. The excellent showing caused the Club to be selected to represent the Fourth Corps Area in the National Inter-Collegiate Matches held in 1927. i Match Score Opp. A. M.

Hollis Robixs Bell Walker Radio 5YD The college radio station has been on the air for four years, with brief intervals of quiescence during vacations and periods of rebuilding, and during that time has been actively engaged in relaying amateur traffic and maintaining test and traffic schedules with other amateur stations all over the country. The station has never used voice transmission. All its work is carried on with the code — 20- and 40-meter waves being employed for all of its experimental and relay work. Voice is not permitted on wave lengths which permit maximum distance to be obtained, and as a con- sistent medium of communication cannot be classed with code signalling. The main transmitter, shown on the left, employs a 250-watt tube supplied with rectified A. C. at 1,500 volts, and is arranged for either 20- or 40-meter transmis- sion, depending upon the time of day and the class of work that is being carried on. It was built in the fall of 1926. Amateur radio stations on all continents except Asia have been worked with it. Crystal control of the generated frequency is now being in- stalled. This method holds the wave absolutely constant, and the clear whistle of the signal permits it to be read more easily through static and interference. The auxiliary set shown on the right is of low pow- er, and was designed for portable use. 1c employs 7 r ' 2-watt tubes conected for self-rectification, and can be used immediately upon connection to antenna and power supply. It is used on band exclus- Alpha Phi Epsilon ALPHA GAMMA CHAPTER Officers C. H. Bates President Miss Nina Belle Suggs Sponsor F. L. McNatt Vice-President Miss Mildred Parkes Maid G. L.

That the approval of the president and of the faculty must be obtained before a chapter of a fraternity or of a similar society may be organized. The leader of the group seeking approval and recognition shall file an application in the office of the registrar, which shall be signed by each person desiring membership, and no step to- ward actual organization may be taken by any group before the leader receives written authority and the approval of the membership through the chairman of the faculty committee on fraternities. 2. That when the faculty has approved the application and the membership of a group for the formation of a fraternity chapter, members of that group may form themselves into an organization and may wear such insignia as the group may select. 3. That no student may be initiated into a fraternity unless he shall have com- pleted during two consecutive semesters immediately preceding not less than thirty- five semester hours with an average grade of eighty per cent. In all cases the candi- date for membership shall first obtain from the faculty committee on fraternities certi- fication of eligibility. 4. Tbat a student assigned punishment by the discipline committee shall not be- come a member of a fraternity during the semester in which he is disciplined. 5. That when the general average of a fraternity group for an academic session is less than eighty per cent, that group may not initiate new members during the session following. 6. That all questions involving fraternity affairs shall be considered jointly by the faculty committee on fraternities, and by a Pan-Hellenic Council, which council shall be composed of one representative selected annually by each fraternity. 7. That no social function may be given by any fraternity until permission is ob- tained from the faculty committee on fraternities. 8. That the faculty shall recommend that the president request the board of trustees to dissolve any fraternity which fails to observe these regulations or which violates the laws of the state. 9. The term fraternity as used in these regulations is held to include all organ- izations of like nature and purpose. ¥■ $ fl WE have, had oue EYE on you por. Some Time. — We_ PffEL THAT YOO ARE.

Hunt J. E. Suttle A Little Trip Through A. and M. GOME, let us away for a time from the busy hum-drum of city life and take a stroll through the garden spot of the South, the broad green campus of the Mississippi A. M. College, snuggling coolly in the shade of the Borden Milk Plant. These stately sentinels directly ahead of us mark the western boundary of the campus. The trees lining the street behind them make a very pleasing picture, do they not? Yes, thousands of pictures have been made of them, perhaps more. On our left now are the homes of some of the professors and across the railroad track is a hay field. Yes, they will cut the hay some day, perhaps, but if they wait much longer it won ' t be much use, as you say. That sign there, as you notice, says you are leaving Starkville, Home of the Borden Milk Plant. I don ' t know why they put the sign there, either. I agree with you that anyone with a grain would know whether or not he was leaving Starkville. That road leads to Columbus. Yes, that is where M S. C. W. is. Well, I should say not! Right there now is Scott Field. You have to pay to get in there now since they put up the fence. That boy yonder knocking over those hurdles is one of the freshman gym class. He will very likely break his neck in a minute. There! See that? He ' s getting up, though. No, you can ' t teach them any better. That first building there is the Cafeteria, and the big building behind it is the Dormitory. What big noise are you talking about? O! That is just the waiters clearing up the d ' shes in the Cafeteria. That ' s nothing. You ought to hear it on Sunday. They have a jazz orchestra helping them on Sundays Those trees on the left sure are pretty, aren ' t they? They are some of the few that are left standing. Some road, isn ' t it? They will fix it when the next Legis- lature meets, they say. I rather doubt it, too. This is the Y. I wish you could stay there, too, but they say not. That dormitory there is quite some building, isn ' t it? Those boys there on the rail are watching Fords pass over the bumper here. If one goes over with a jolt they get a b ' g kick out of it. Easy, now, or you will bust about four springs. That is Lee Hall. Yes, I have some classes there. All of your classes are on the top floor in Lee Hall, usually. Elevator? Good night! You ought to live in the Dormitory. Glad you don ' t? You ought to be. This is the Hospital. You can really get something to eat there. Hi, Flip. Yes, he is one of the patients. That is the Bachelor ' s Ranch. Funny name, isn ' t it? Somebodv paints the tank there every night or so. The Class of ' 28 painted it last. It was the night of the Junior Banquet, and they weren ' t responsible. No, they had it uptown. That is the Biology Building. They built that when they built the Cafeteria. It ' s about the prettiest building around there, don ' t you think so? What ' s that? O! Those are bug catchers, there. They have to catch everything in sight before they get that course off. The Engineering Building is over there. You can turn here and go around in front of the Administration Building or keep on and go down by the Dairy and Laundry. You don ' t want to? Well, I ' m sure I don ' t either. Well, if you ' re ready, we can go on around to the Cafeteria. Want to go back to the Hotel, first? Sure, I ' d just as soon; in fact, rather. A change of diet wouldn ' t hurt, I reckon. c y FEATURES TUftJC — W tHIrST foU BLoot) A-S Ayf Jo Go (WHICH WAV , S OtFORO ?) nT? .

You ' ll see it enough before you get away from here. Freshman: Is that the Engineering Build- ing? Senior: Naw. There it is over there. This is Lee Hall. Freshman: What ' ll I do here? Senior: One of the main things is you meet Graveyard Wallace. Freshman: Who is he? Senior: Freshman, do you mean to stand there and say you don ' t know who Graveyard Wallace is? Freshman: What does he teach — embalm- ing? Senior: You ' ll think so before you get algebra off under him. Freshman: Pleasant name he has. Senior: I mean you better know how to fac- tor before you take an exam under him, too. Freshman: I learned all about that in high school. Senior: I see you are slated for his course twice, if not more. It ' s nothing unusual for guys to stay with him three years on account of thinking that. Freshman: How come? Senior: You learn everything over again dif- ferent here. Besides he gives a quiz every Friday and there ' s some stuff in there that Buz Walker wouldn ' t recognize. Freshman: Buz Walker? Senior: Yeah. Freshman: Who ' s he? Senior: President. Yonder he comes now. Freshman: The man with the long black overcoat ? Senior: That ' s him. Whenever you see that overcoat headed for the dormitory it is time to sell out. Freshman: That ' s what I ' ll do, then. Senior: He and I are experts along our re- spective lines. Freshman: Huh? Senior: He is a mathematician from back yonder, I mean; as for myself I have never missed a rat with a razor strop yet, and I have been at it now about four years. Freshman: Yes, I can ' t sit down till yet. Is he the one that speaks in the Auditorium? Senior: He never speaks in chapel unless the See ' s office sends in a list of guys who haven ' t paid, or we beat Ole Miss; or something. Freshman: He speaks every time, then, doesn ' t he? Senior: Well, sometimes we are playing other teams. Freshman: Does he tell any jokes like the principal at home does? Senior: Not unless Whitfield is here. He knows what he is going to say before he starts off, and when he gets through he sits down. Freshman: What is the See ' s office? enior: They are the ones that take your coin just for the fun they get out of handling money. Freshman: I handle my own. I prefer it that way. Senior: So do I, but after they get through 299 Good with you you don ' t have enough to jingle, even. Freshman: I bet they work for all they get out of me. ' ' Senior: That shows how ignorant you are. Those fellows have had years of experience. If they don ' t get it one way they get it an- other. You are lucky to walk out of there with all your duds on. Freshman: Who is that coming with the big cigar? Senior: That ' s Dr. Hand. Freshman: Wonder why is he carrying that umbrella? It doesn ' t look like rain. Senior: I better hunt up my slicker. Freshman: How come? Senior: The doctor is the kind that don ' t make mistakes about anything. He could eat soup with a knife and fork- and it would be correct. Freshman: Pretty good, huh? Senior: Better than good. Whenever you see a guy any better, send me his address. He likes to write an equation out on the board and clear it of fractions, integrate, and collect terms all in one step. Freshman: All it takes is practice. ' Senior: Freshman, that ' s a charge! morning, doctor! Doctor: Good afternoon, fellows! Freshman: Xfternoon ? Senior: He was thinking of a big reaction then. Freshman: You say that ' s the Engineering Building over there? Senior: Yeah. Freshman: Is that little fellow coming out of there a prof? Senior: Yes, very much. Freshman: Who is he? Senior: That ' s King Gladney. Strength. Freshman : What — gym ? Senior: Naw. That ' s where guys strong back and a weak mind shim man. In strength you have to be the other way around. Freshman: What ' s it about? Senior: Riveted joints and beams. Freshman: Beams? Like in a house? Senior: Yeah. Freshman: That ought to be all right. Senior: What do you mean, all right. Freshman: Easy. (Senior picks self up off pavement and mops brow. Eyes have glazed look.) Senior: You ' ll learn lots here. Freshman: I know it. Senior: Hello, Prof.! King: Harf. Freshman: He looks hard. Senior: That ain ' t all! Pause. Freshman: What ' s that little cannon over there? Senior: Compressed air mortar. Freshman: Where does the air come from? Senior: Run a pipe line over to the chapel. Another pause. (Continued on Page 300.) He teaches with a , t ' rt ' sh- EDUCATIONAL TOUR ALONG LEE WALK (Continued from Page 299.) Freshman: This is a big place. Senior: Yeah, plenty of room to run in. Freshman: Yes. I heard a lot about the A. M. runners. My brother knew a fellow that saw ' Race Horse ' Cochran once. Senior: He only imagined he saw him, I guess. Freshman: No, it was him, because the A. M. track team was on the train and he got left, so he caught the train just before it got into Meridian. Senior: That was somebody else. He would have caught it long before that. By the way, do you run yourself? Freshman: Not very well. My feet get in each other ' s way. Senior: You will learn things about running here that are not in books. I learned a lot very quickly and became rather good, if I say it myself, the first year I was here. Freshman: Did you get a letter? Senior: Quite a few. More, really, than I wanted. Freshman: I didn ' t know that! Senior: You ' ll get some, too, frosh. Freshman: Gee, that ' ll be swell! Senior: Yes, they make you feel mighty swelled up at first. Freshman: Not me. I am used to honors, being as I was on the debating team and the second assistant to the chief reporter on the paper back at the school. However, I will send my girl one of them to wear, since I will have several. Senior: That will be hard to do. Freshman: Won ' t they let you? Senior: Well, you see, it ' s this way.

CAFETERIA IS EQUIPPED WITH VAN RANGE CINCINNATI, OHIO n This Hard, Cruel World Chapter I Our Hero Checks Out Captain John Smith, or at any rate, Oscar T. Blotz, heaved a sigh of relief, which sailed through the window accompanied by the sound of falling glass and a certain party named Smith. Exams were over, and he was now free to withdraw. That meant he could draw out his cash from the See ' s office, provided he wished to do so. Oscar so wished. He had $20 in there somewhere, either in the safe, or in the cash drawer, or very likely hidden in the clock. With this money I will be independ- this great broad land, he lid, He to ' I on ent, which is the God given right to every free-born citizen setting his jaw firmly, if that was possible. He waited in line four hours and fifty minutes. Finally he came to the secretary ' s window, noted briefly that it was barred with big iron bars, very likely for protection against crooks. If they have these fellows behind these bars, they are not straight, he thought aloud. The secretary took the slip and passed another out that Oscar couldn ' t think of any replj until he was washing behind his ears several hours later. Is your name Smith, Oscar T. ? asked the secretary. No, my name is Blotz, according to the last information I had at the time, Oscar replied, have an aunt living in Lawrence. Kansas, named Smith, who was a Cohen before her marriage August the eighth, 1895, I imagine. I believe that is ' correct, the secretary replied thoughtfully. You sign your name Tillery on checks, do you not, or am I thinking of someone else named Kushbull? Yes, replied Oscar, if such was the case. He is now living in Paterson, New Jersey, three doors up from Tenth Street, or in New York City, in all probability. How much money do you want? Oscar asked, until then remaining silent. I probably have the change right here in my pocket, provided that my wallet has been found, which I lost yesterday. I am taking out 1(11.27 for a broken window in room 155 and 25c for sending the Reflector to the Eskimos in Chignic, Alaska. But there was no broken window in 155, Oscar replied, pointedly. Only a dresser and three chairs were devastated. We broke the window, answered the secretary in all likelihood, in order that we might charge for the dressers and wardrobe, also for a wrecked bed. Our hero dropped his gaze to the floor. It struck with a loud bump and rolled awkwardly into the corner. He saw he was getting nowhere. Evidently he must change the subject. Have you been playing any golf lately? they both asked in the same breath. Well, I must be going, then, sooner or later, whichever it is, said Oscar forcibly. Can I get my money now? To be sure! answered the secretary, Provided, of course, you want it now. No, I will leave it with you, that is, next semester, if it happens the school does not burn down before that time, he replied hopefully. So I will take it now, in case it should burn down.

GRAD Nobody knows what a sound education is, so no more will be said about it. been written on Education. We refer you to them. Colleges are places where Freshmen enter and occasionally graduate, not overlooking the require- ment of paid up dues in the Secretary ' s office. When Freshmen graduate they are called Seniors. Just why they are called Seniors is not clear. In the old days they were called ' that because every- body wore more or less foliage on his physiognomy, and looked to be about 35 or 40 years old. In this day and time Seniors sport so little brush that they shave only once a week, and then only because they think they ought to since having an eighteenth birthday last Saturday. A diploma is a written guarantee of an education. Some graduates carry theirs around with them when looking for a job. In most states a jury will acquit a man whom the graduate has filed suit against for assault and battery provided it can be proved that the defendant unrolled his sheepskin in the course of the conversation. Two kinds of high school graduates go to college — those who are hot on the trail of success, and those who want a four-year rest after taking Latin and Algebra five days a week. Since success was the object sought by over 10 per cent of our graduates, an interview was arranged with one of our successful men to learn the inside story of how it is done. He cordially shook the writer ' s hand and offered a seat across the desk several feet away. The writer could tell at a glance into the cool, steel gray eyes of the man opposite that he was one who took things without worry or fear of the consequences. My dear sir, I asked, To what do you attribute your phenomenal rise in the world? The capitalist smiled, displaying two tine gold teeth, apparently of considerable weight and value, depending on who his dentist was. I sleep Hi hours a day, and pitch horseshoes for exercise. I spend my leisure whittling. Do you see that bust of Benedict Arnold there? I nodded. It was, in truth, a remarkable likeness of the Iron Chancellor. I made that at a directors ' meeting last Tuesday, which was on March the eighth. What, in your opinion, is the greatest need in American Colleges today? I ventured, after ad- miring the bust of Hammurabi. The capitalist thought for ten minutes by the Big Ben which he kept covered with a wet blanket to quiet it as much as possible. I do not favor the World Court, because I believe America with all its politicians would get the other nations in as much of a muddle as our own Legislative body is in, and as yet I cannot help but believe that College students are sadly lacking in square meals. Do you swim or ride horseback? I asked the following day. Square meals, he repeated. When I went to college I lived four years on rice, green peas, butter beans, tough steak, pork and beans, light bread, milk and rice and green peas. Where did you go to school? I questioned. I went to Mississippi A. and M., which is 1.7 miles east of Starkville, Home of the Borden Milk Plant, the largest Condensery in the South. It is therefore clear that you have success any time that you feel satisfied with yourself. College is unsatisfactory as a loafing place unless you are foresighted enough to attend one that is near something. Many colleges, such as Land Grant Colleges, are out in the woods. The fine, fresh air very quickly builds up your system to a point where you want to shift to some other place, but the difficulty of travel is the hindrance there. One college visited required changing trains 7 times in going 200 miles, and all the trains were from 30 minutes to 2 hours late. In one college there was a girls ' school 30 miles away. The students were actually so hard up for a date that they were in the habit of travelling 60 miles for one. The dates were not so much at that, according to all reports. It is therefore clear that college can take everything that you and your folks can rake together. You may graduate if you stay on good terms with the faculty, otherwise you may be there some time. A diploma and a living outside of college are two different things. If you think not, wait and see the relationship that the former bears to the business of paying rent and buying liquid refreshment for the Ford. A Senior that wears the girl ' s high school ring, and who contemplates matrimony after graduation is none too bright, either. Girl ' s rings frequently become binding. We asked Bull Roberts if this was not so. | Bull appeared to think for a moment. He was not thinking because various obstacles stand in the way. Integration with a slide-rule is but little understood, and, indeed, I myself am not thoroughly conversant with the modus operandi in all of its diverse ramifications, he replied. So there you are. THE HARD, (KIEL WORLD (Continued from Page 30S) The secretary called the cashier. This bov Flannagan wants his money. What for? Various things, whatever they are. That is all right, then, the cashier possibly replied Is what ? Is it going to cost us? How much is it ' Is it going to cost us? I hardly know, the secretary answered or replied, very likely either. However, I will look it up. I get back $S.4S less 15% accommodation, if this was August the tenth, Oscar answered, much tc iis surprise, and his father ' s also, frankly. The secretary smiled. But this is June; just what I am not prepared to say. I dare say it is the fourth, answered the stenographer, appearing suddenly on the scene. It is the fifth, answered the cashier, Because on the fifth we get $5 for late withdrawal which may or may not be the case on Leap Year, except in months containing the letter ' r. ' So saying he pushed $3.48 through the window. Oscar dropped the 84c, consisting of a quarter, three nickels and more or less pennies on the floor. Everything rolled but the pennies, the former, whichever it was, rolling into a crack. My money is gone, remarked Oscar quietly. Not at all, replied the cashier. We can get it for you for $3, if that is the amount you have there. No, $3.08. ' To be sure, I imagine, smiled the cashier, Eight c ents for accommodation. I thank you, such g the ease, which it is, he answered, accepting the money. Good day. HHH An Unbiased Presentation of the Straight Stuff Regardless of What Non-Fraternity Men May Have in Mind Delta Sigma Tau (Darn Sorry Tea-hounds) Don ' t think that we haven ' t got our share of the big noises on the campus. We appreciate music more perhaps than any of the other low-brows around here, but it has never been our policy to blow over it. We thoroughly approve of the fraternal idea, and while we haven ' t got much to show for it, neither have any of the others. We do not believe in letting on to others about us being fraternity men, but our name is spelled with Greek letters, so that ' s all that matters. Goodness knows, some of them haven ' t got that. Phi Alpha Alpha (Punk Always, Admittedly) We place purity first. You never can tell, it might be poisonous. We try it on pledges first, and if they live, all well and good. We pride ourselves on all that is pure and wholesome, and shun all that is bad. There is so much evil in the world, you know, and we are not allowing any of it to get into our group. We, therefore, do not go in for any activities of any sort, since that would bring on criticism, and we don ' t want any. Sigma Phi Delta (Simply Perfect Dumb-bells) We go in for scholarship primarily. Mental growth is our constant aim, so we have night classes in Nursery Rhymes i and 2 every night but Saturday, at which time we go look at the moving picture show. We enjoy them if we can get someone to read the words. We don ' t like girls, because they always want to hold hands, and you know yourself that ' s not nice. We have ruled tobacco out of our group because they tell us it is harmful to growing bodies. We think athletics are all right, but we never go in for any because so many athletes chew tobacco. Lee Guard (Low-down Generally) Too much emphasis has been placed on scholarship around here, we think, so we leave it mostly to the others. We believe a large portion of the value of education lies in association with the students. We specialize in fancy drills of various kinds. We, of course, cannot go into any detail about this. We know we are not up to snuff socially, but men who are engaged in all of the heterogeneities of school activities cannot trifle away time hanging on to a teacup handle, just like that flapper yonder couldn ' t pass those boys without a dozen or so stretching their necks a foot or more, if you see the point. George Rifles (Great Roughnecks) If none of the others want them, we ' ll take them. They can drill in the file closers, and if thev get lost in a squad movement, no one is the wiser. We have to be strict in selecting our men, naturally. We believe in having the best. Our motto is Hitch your wagon to a star. Any kind of wagon will do, and heavens above, there are plenty of stars. Our activities are so numerous and varied that any attempt to enumerate them here would be out of the question. We will say this, though: save your money. It will make you independent some day if dates don ' t get it first. Ours don ' t. 310 emm All Ends Well That is Nev er Started A Play in Three Acts, Very Likely They call her Pola because she puts the boys on ice.

Time represents money. None will doubt that. The man who has neither time nor money is a good example of this. Most college men are in just such a shape as that. Every instructor thinks his course is the only one. Same old story. What are you going to do about it? That is hard to say, is it not? .A few hundred dollars a week on the side would interest you, wouldn ' t it? Same here. Time is measured by the stars. In that shape it is called sidereal time. It has several other names besides that, but we won ' t go into detail, because we are wasting time right now, which we said before represented money. For instance, the nickel I had when I started this article has now before four cents. You may ask where the nickel came from. That is a problem for the economist. Now, let me raise this question. What is time, anyway? You will say you don ' t know. If I was honest I would say the same. A comparatively full explanation of time can be found in Einstein ' s Limited Universe, but it is not quite clear to me, frankly. Look it over yourself sometime when over at the Library. If the Library hasn ' t the volume we will be glad to mail it to you at a nominal cost of $55 (slightly higher west of Starkville, home of the Borden Milk Plant). A star is a flaming mass of nebulous gas hundreds of miles away. Some are even farther than that. For instance the Great Nebula in Orion is so far that if you shot a saxophone player out of the mouth of the biggest gun made, which is quite some size, by the way, and which is now manufactured with the Barbette mount (we give you the same price as the jobber. No dealers ' profits for you to pay) it would take him many, many hours to arrive. Just how many would be hard to say, so let ' s not try. Suffice to say he would be a lifetime getting there, so it would be well for you to see about getting one of these muskets before the supply gives out (F. O. B. Aber- deen, Md. Set it up on a concrete mount in the vacant lot behind your home and give the neighbors a surprise. You will not deny that it will be a surprise for your neighbors when you fire the piece and their houses collapse or turn over, will you? Caution — Use the powder charge specified and be sure the powder temperature is right, otherwise that part of town will have to be completely rebuilt or as the saying goes, swept clean as a hound ' s tooth). You will recall that we were talking about time. If you get rid of the saxophones you will get a chance to sleep, and when you are asleep time doesn ' t mean anything and neither does money, so that settles that once and for all. I thank you. A Better Method of Writing Textbooks Chapter IV Differentiation 25. Introduction. We shall now proceed (at least I will proceed. The rest of you follow along the best way you can) to investigate the manner in which a function changes in value (not to be confused with Economic value, which is something entirely different. I don ' t understand it myself, and very few really do, I dare say) as the independent vari- able changes. The fundamental problem of the Differen- tial Calculus (don ' t let that word scare you, yet. Stick around and I ' ll show you something to really get scared at) is to establish a measure of this change in the function with mathematical precision. (Nothing there to worry you, is it? All right, hang on). It was while investigating prob- lems of this sort, dealing with continuously varying quan- tities, that Newton was led to the discovery of the funda- mental principle of the Calculus, the most scientific and pow- erful tool of the modern mathematician. (Don ' t get the idea in your head that it will become a powerful tool or anything like that to you for quite a long time. If you work this first problem I ' m leading up to it will surprise me). m-A HEN ASKED WHETHER A CO HA D UPPER. OR LO WER.

CollegeT y jj Bill Shackleford There is nothing wrong with the A. and M. College. It is a veritable paradise where our nation ' s youth may quench its thirst after knowledge, such as it is, and thus become educated to a greater or less extent, thus becoming better or worse citizens as the case may be. I believe the custom of giving diplomas to graduates is a good idea, since all of the other large schools of our nation follow the custom, including the high school back home. It allows many to walk up on the stage who never set foot on it before, and in addition, provides something for the graduate to hold while he is having his picture made. You may use this testimonial in any way that you see fit, but I do not care to see it in print, since I do not care to place myself before the public. Rezin Pepper Since I am leaving here, it would do me some genuine good to speak frankly on the subject, but I become excited when I begin talking, and I might inadvertantly make some statements which might be used against me in court. John Sharp Williams, however, was as far ahead of Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, as a Christmas dinner at home outclasses a diet of hay. Speaking bluntly, I see no immediate help for the farmer through legislation. The Millenium has not arrived yet, and nothing is as yet available as a substitute for work. d % Bull Roberts Since I am an Auburn man, it is not unreasonable that I am not prepared to intelli- gently discuss the matter. The A. and M. College, so far as I know, is all right, so far as it goes, provided one overlooks certain discrepancies in curricula common to most small schools. I believe engineering students are woefully ignorant of many of the aesthetic aspects of life. For instance, a year of detailed study of the cow, say, in the Senior year, would be of considerable value. Just why I think so, I am not prepared to say, but that occurred to me. I favor long term farm loans, whatever they are, and I am frank to confess that the alarm clock industry is here to stay. Look at the aeroplane industry, the tombstone industry; look at the wig and artificial hair industry. Look at that crowd of students yonder watching the Fords go over the bumper. i iKe [RJEVEI FI TELL ME DICKS ' E ooe ' s [• X4fcl AT I Ponjkjo — - But we- BfTTE Be 3v eg there: Before: t e l?E EILLff-5 COMe- OUT a UK. 1 5jQ,( l LLP IV, 1 1 E,n i a| JRmO t LIKE I OW, doys t let ME gS) £E THIS QUESTION HsHERe You 8££ V all D y t fl p?-- i eee 4sf v- 4 o £r z 70 the l ep ey 7 oy ' § J i { ' Well, it ' s all over but the shouting, and while we would like to shout awhile over getting this job off, we haven ' t got enough energy. We hope you have liked this Reveille. The idea at the start was to put some life in between the covers. Most yearbooks are not much better than a bulletin issued by the American Fraternity of Undertakers and Embalmers, and you get the notion somehow that the college that put that book out is as lifeless as Ole Miss, if that was possible. Somebody looked over the proofs and said it ought to have been called the Comic Strip Edition. That is probably not a bad name for it. Folks will look at a cartoon, though, when they won ' t take time to read, and to people who do not know any students here and who may pick the book up to see just what sort of a place A. and M. is, may enjoy it a little more. When you get through looking this book over and have cooled down a little after the first fit of rage because your name was spelled wrong three different times, pass it around a little and let some of the high school men take a peek at it. No school on earth ever needed advertisement any worse than A. and M. It seems impossible to get any from the newspapers, because the space has already been filled by an account of our friends across the state fighting their way up to next to last in the Tiddledy Winks League, so it ' s up to you yourself. The Reveille can help, but it can ' t do much if it ' s stored away with Robinson Crusoe and Pilgrim ' s Progress up in the attic. Well, let ' s hop the fast freight, Dicks, as soon as you have wound the cat and put out the clock, as the case may be. The cat is hunting a mouse, so she says, and the clock is not feeling well with spring fever. Tsk! Tsk! That is too bad. Who is she hunting now? She is hunting Sam. What is that big noise? That is Sam. What is Sam doing now? He is batting it out down the hall. He is doubtless headed for that crack in the floor. He is safe if he can get his tail in after him. That is hardly likely, being as the cat is now one inch behind and gaining fast. What happened then? Sam is safe, but the cat has his tail. She is trying to pull him out of the crack. How like Life that is! Neither of them are satisfied. Well, let us leave them to their play and say good-bye. Good-bye Finis, End, Curtain, Asbestos, or whatever it is. : ' -■ ' : ' . ' ■ , '
