For the first two years the courses are largely prescribed — except in the case of special students who are not candidates for a degree, or who are preparing for a medical profession — giving the fundamentals of Zoology, Botany, Geology, and courses in Government, English, Mathematics, Modern Language;.. This basic training is designed to acquaint the student with a broad field of knowledge without imposing upon him the necessity for immediately select- ing a life work. The courses worked out and published in the catalogs are the ones in most frequent demand, but do not have to be adhered to strictly. The fields open to the science student at the beginning of his juni or year may be grouped as follows: 1. Special Science Courses. This is the technical side of the Science School, and offers splendid training to those students who wish to devote their lives to work in Chemistry, Physics, or some branch of Biology. Fre- quently, students preparing for professional studies in medicine take their major in Chemistry and minor in Zoology. 2. Commerce and Economics. Since the removal of the Business School from this college, provision has been made such that a candidate for a degree in the Science School may choose his course largely from the Depart- ments of Finance and Economics. Thus, with the basic course, and with the subjects offered in the Commerce and Economics course, one may be well prepared to enter the business world or to continue his studies at some other institution. 3. Education. Many science students decide that they wish to teach. In that case they may choose their work largely from the Department of Education, together with allied subjects calculated to aid in fitting one to become a teacher. Graduates in Science Education are eligible for life license to teach in the secondary schools of Mississippi. 4. General Courses. Some students, after having reached their junior year, still do not wish to specialize; they desire rather to secure a liberal education. Students in this category adopt the General Course, which, due to the ample opportunities to elect courses from the Academic School, admirably satisfies their desires. Freedom of election is a principle, but it is not allowed to become an easy method of obtaining a degree. A few hours of pure science are required each semester during the junior and senior years; election is carefully supervised at all times. Twai ■ Dean (Moody The School of Engineering The Engineering School is at present the largest in the College; it comprises three divisions — Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical. The men in these different divisions are, after the two-year basic course which is the same for all Engineers, given instruction in their individual branches of the profession. This in- struction is intended to give the student a thorough understanding of the basic theories of his subject, and to give h ' m as much practical instruction in the labor, tory and in the field as circumstances and equipment will permit. The equipment of the Engineering Department is fully equal to that in any college of equal rank; es- pecially is this true of the Mechanical and Electrical departments, whose equipment and opportunities for practical shop and testing work are second to none in Southern technical schools. The Civil Engineering Department has a large number of high grade transits, levels, plane tables, and other instruments. In the last two years there have been established a Student Branch of the American Institute of Elec- trical Engineers, a chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and a chapter of the Amer- ican Society of Civil Engineers. These organizations hold regular bi-monthly meetings, at which profes- sional papers are read, debates between students are hJd, and other methods used to hold the student ' s interest in practical engineering. These societies bring to the campus, as speakers, many men prominent and suc- cessful in engineering circles; their experience and advice is of untold worth to the student engineer. In addition to these groups, the Engineering Club, composed of juniors and seniors from the Eng ' neering School as a whole, has the purpose of combining the whole group of engineers in a unit to discuss topics and events relating to the entire school. There is also an organization devoted to the recognition and promotion of engineering scholarship — the Triangle Club, composed of men who have by general ability and scholastic merit gained a place of worth and service to the Engineering School. m Dean Weddell The Academic School The Academic School is the youngest of all the schools. It was organized in 1920, and now comprises the departments of Political Science and Sociology, English, History and Economics, Modern Languages, Public Discourse, Physical Education, and Mathematics. Since the college is a technical institution, it has not been deemed wise to offer a course of study leading to an arts degree; hence, the function of the Academic School is limited to that of definitely co-ordinating the work of the academic departments with the several schools which offer courses leading to a degree, and to the securing of closer coherence in matters of depart- mental administration. The departments of the Academic School offer in all the other schools courses essential to a curriculum which attempts to offer a well rounded education. Especially is this true in the Science School, where the student is comparatively free to elect academic courses. Although the courses of study in the Schools of Engineering and Agriculture are largely prescribed, there is some opportunity of election which permits the student to choose additional courses of an academic nature. Students who are not candidates for any degree may, if they so desire, elect academic courses and apply the credits toward an arts degree at other institutions. TDean Lipscomb The School of Agriculture Agriculture has been and will be the basic industry of Mississippi, and in the past half century the School of Agriculture of A. and M. College has contributed generously to the growth and improvement of that in- dustry. Due to its importance in this respect, the School of Agriculture has caused the location here of the Experiment Station and the Extension Department. The Agricultural School includes the Departments of Rural Education, Agricultural Economics, Agricul- tural Engineering, Dairy Husbandry, Horticulture, Poultry Husbandry and Veterinary Science. The agri- cultural student may take the degree of Bachelor of Science in either Rural Education, Animal Husbandry, Dairying, Horticulture, Poultry, General Agriculture, or Agricultural Commerce. These men can hold their own anywhere, but they are specially fitted to cope with the problems and conditions in Mississippi, Grad- uates in Animal Husbandry are prepared for livestock farming, which is coming forward as one of Missis- sippi ' s chief occupations. The graduates in Dairying are preparing to take part in the rapidly growing industries of dairy production and dairy manufacturing, which promise much in the future of the state and, indeed, in many districts have already furnished the means to a new prosperity. Milk condenseries, cheese factories, and creameries open new avenues to the young Mississippian interested in Dairying. In the De- partment of Agricultural Economics the students receive training in accounting, statistics, marketing, banking, and the general economic situations to be met in farming, with a general course in agriculture as a basis. They are thus prepared to run farms of their own on a sound financial basis or, through co-operative mar- keting, banking, and other methods, to improve the financial status of the farmer. The Agricultural Club, composed from students from all branches of the School of Agriculture, is the tech- nical organization of that school. It demonstrates its activity and alertness through the columns of its monthly publication, The Magnolia Farmer. The Experiment Station at A. and M., with its branches in various towns throughout the state, is con- tinually conducting experiments to determine the best methods of scientific farming. These research projects total eighteen hundred annually, and furnish valuable information in all lines of agricultural endeavor. The triple lamps that light the door foretell The work of those who serve their fellows well. Through shady lanes to ivy-twining peace, The ailing come in pain, and find surcease. The friendly Y , half -sleeping in the sun — Letters from home, and play when work is done. Here countless youthful feet move slowly by, Where distant towers touch a happy sky. The shaded intersection of the ways Where friend meets friend on idle, sunny days. Behind the shrubs, the Gothic arches soar Toward peace from education ' s fretful roar. HMi MjU Hi m ma The vistaed arches, dim with shadow, seem Peaceful with beauty, wistful as a dream. Lee ' s bust in silence keeps eternal guard Where boys first find the path to manhood hard. :z % Classes . Lass L. R. Thompson President R. C. Harris Vice-President Miss Catherine McCain Maid W. T.

JZJWg HE PAST FOUR YEARS have been notable ones in the history of A. and M. as well as in the lives of the men of the Class of ' 28. I will attempt merely to mention the main trend of events, so that in the future the Class of ' 28 may have at hand a picture, however imperfect it may be, of those memorable years of their college career. We arrived at A. and M. September ifi. 1924, almost six hundred strong; green, but eager to learn. Very promptly the Sophs took upon themselves the task of teaching us, by the use of that persuasive medium, the belt. After having learned which of the buildings is A. and M. College, where Reveille oil is to be found, how to grab ankles, and where the laundry is located, we had a class meeting. Sank Jones was elected president, and the Class of ' 28 started a long and tedious grind. That was in the days before freshmen were special charges assigned to rooms on the top floor; then upperclassmen were upperclassmen, and the freshmen were fully aware of it. Due to a near strike in the fall of 1924, the Student Association was reorganized and the Student Council formed, the object being to inaugurate some system of stu- dent government. It has not been very successful. An unimportant item that year was the defeat of the University of Mississippi in every sport. In the fall of ' 25 we rode into A. and M. as chesty , cocksure sophomores, but not — not the six hundred. Our ranks had been thinned by failures, withdrawals, and the Shipping Com- mittee to about three hundred men. But those poor frosh must have thought that we num- bered about a thousand, for we applied the belt according to tradition. In spite of our newly acquired supremacy over the freshmen, this year was truly a hard one. (Incidentally, it marked Dr. Walker ' s succession to Dr. Hull as president; also Bernie Bierman ' s debut as football mentor at A. and M.) In the first place, we were introduced to a round of courses, including such as Chemistry and Physics, that proved fatal to many at the mid-year exams. Then pretty soon the famous yellow sheet appeared and set the campus agog with talk, and almost caused an- other strike. No results ensued except that another member of our class was asked to sever relations with the institution. Before we had recovered from the excitement caused by the yel- low sheet, a powder explosion occurred in the dormitory, in which a member of the Class of ' 28 was killed, and three others scarred for life. After these stirring events the campus was quiet for the remainder of the year. We returned to our Junior year somewhat subdued by the processes of Education; we were becoming parts of a machine. After the happy greetings of the first few days we took a back seat for a while and let the other classes raise Cain — except for a little griping at the Seniors, who were our natural enemies as long as they were here. One unusual event of the year was the fact that Ole Miss beat us in football, a thing that had not occurred in fifteen years. We did, however, step out and throw one at the annual Junior Banquet, one of our few traditional occasions. Here a lamentable feature was the animosity between the Agricultural and Engineer- ing students in voting. Jelly Thompson was elected president of the class for the next year; Lefty Harris was chosen vice-president, and the task of getting out the Reveille was left in uncertain hands. When we returned for the final year our ranks had dwindled to about one hundred and seventy-five men. Only these few out of the large freshman class had withstood the ravages of exams, homesickness, and the iron hand of Education. This year has been marked by several notable events — and it is not over yet. To begin with, Coach Bierman retired from the position of football coach in favor of Coaches Hancock and Dauber, who have been received with open arms. Then the boys thought that they weren ' t getting long enough Christmas holidays, so they decided to strike again. It, like all the others, got no results except to cause several to be shipped, and was, on the whole, ridiculously funny. I should have told you about the new uni- forms at the beginning of this paragraph, and the reason that I didn ' t is that it ' s their turn now. The first semester is over, and the seniors are hoping to get their bell-hop suits in time for graduation. Well, here we are very close to the end — and we are more confused than ever as to Why did we ever come to college, anyway? 52 Plair Class Officers T. B. Plair President Miss Marie Magee Sponsor D.

Grinstead Lieutenant-Colonel, U. S. A., Retired Professor of Military Science and Tactics Colonel Grinstead has served twenty-eight years in the volunteer and regular service. During that time he has been stationed in various places in the United States and other parts of the globe. He served in the Philippines over six years on four different tours of duty, and in France and Germany from 1919 to 1921. He was made a lieutenant- colonel in 1920. 83 T Major Dusenbury is just another one of the reasons why Mississippi A. and M. has one of the best crews of military boys in the South. When the Major wants something done, he simply suggests it to the fellows, and that ' s all there is to it. He comes around a little bit later an d tells them that they have done a fine job — consequently, the boys had rather be compliment- ed by Major Dusenbury than by anyone around here. The Engineers all put their best front for- „ ward when they ' re around the Major; he spends so much time telling them what fine fellows they are that the boys are simply ashamed to disap- point him. The very first time Major Dusenbury appeared before the students he made a hit with them, and he has kept it up ever since. If any one person on the faculty and working staff of the college is a straight shooter in his dealings with the students, it is James S. Dusenbury. All his men respect him, and whatever he says is taken as right without any griping or worrying over it. Back: Capt. Wimberly, Capt. Cornell, Capt. Gilbreth Front: Col. Grinstead, Capt. Kabrich, Capt. Smith, Major Dusenbury 8+ s = We think of him mostly as Buddy Lucas — a hard-boiled professor who had better not hear you call a lathe job an exercise ; and all the students refer to him as a square shooter if there ever was one. But, when we look around at the miniature mortar on the front campus, th: equipment at Battery Lee, and the equipment for the miniature range, we find that Buddy Lucas is also an army man. He is Captain Lucas, (). R. C, and the government knows that he is down here at A. and M. College. Yes, the government knows that, and has no mean idea as to the ability of Captain Lucas when it comes to affairs of Ordnance. One of his latest ideas is the con- struction of a special lathe for turning shells for anti-aircraft artillery. This ma chine is being built entirely by students in more, junior and senior classes, under the supervision of Professor Lucas, tensely interested in such work as this; his efforts in behalf of the artillery and M. have resulted in many improvements in the material of the depar he rightly deserves the respect accorded him by the military authorities. a the sopho- He is in- unit of A. tment, and Sgt.

Palmer TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT •: ■ TTTTT GHT The Infantry Unit g HE 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 subjects. The infantry itself has been called the queen of battles, because small infan try units win small combats, thereby causing an army to win a great 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 ramifica- tions 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 de- velop 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, auto- matic 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 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, mili- tary 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 ob- stacles to trenches and the use of all as an aid in the defense of a position. The study of machine guns include 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 fundamental prin- ciples of war, the ultimate purpose of which is to develop ability to lead troops in combat. 86 Coast Artillery Unit fl t SrpNDER the National Defense Act of 192(1, nineteen heavy (coast artillery) units of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps have been established in nineteen of our best colleges and universities = f 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, an- swered 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 thoroughly 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 com- pulsory. 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 ad- vanced course and is voluntary. Property at nearly $200,000 h is been loaned the college by the War Department for use by the coast artillery unit in carrying out its schedule of instruction. This is indicatitve of seriousness of purpose with which the War Department has entered this work. Upon the successful comple- tion 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 artillery corps of the regular army. One is stationed at Camp Eustis, Virginia, and 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 ' Training Corps at Washington has stated that he has rated the unit ar Mississippi A. and 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 received the War Department rating DISTINGUISHED four times. Those who have grad- uated and passed on look to those who remain at A. and M. to keep up the good work. 87 T XS T ADJ. «j w:Bo;i£ CAPT. EXECUTIVE 88 H.M. SMfTH 1 ST. tlXUT.

M. is the enviable record of Athletic Director Chadwick. He has coached all branches of athletics during his time here, and has never failed to produce a fighting team. In financing A. M. ' s athletics, he has worked wonders and as long as he remains with us, we feci safe in the athletic department. Coach John W. Hancock is one of the youngest major coaches in the country, having finished at Iowa only a few years ago. He was an All-American tackle while in college and 1 we hereby nominate him for Ail-American Football Coach. He came to A. M. last year, and took over the team where Coach Bernie Bierman had left off. To say that his first year was a success would be putting it mildly. It seems useless for us to say anything about Coach Dudy Noble except that he is still here, for everyone knows that his very presence will assure a winning baseball team. He has turned out more Southern Conference championship baseball teams than any coach in the south. Coach Ray Dauber is another Iowa product, and is even younger than Coach Hancock, having finished school in ' 25. He came here from Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, and stepped right into the middle of things. After having cached the backfield in football, he took over basketball, and proceeded to take his team to the semi-finals of the Southern Conference Tournament. Coach Heifer Stuart is a product of A. M. and his being retained as a freshman coa ' -h pleased everyone. Heifer was a star while in college and he hs shown himself to be an equally good couch as assistant to Coach Dudy in freshman football. He will also have charge of the freshman baseball candidates this spring. 113 ILLE OF TWENTY-EIGHT Wearers ot tr ie M Wiseman Gr egory Byars Christopher jACh Meredith Cooper Worthington Priester Wells Bamberg Ricks Chadwick Meredith Brooks McCi.ellan Berry McElveen Nash Chapman Craft Brister PlTTMAN Harris Harris Banks Weir Thompson Pappenheimer Geoghegan McCabe Stone Fountain Smith Noble Featherstone Lewis Kyzar Pickens 114 Captain Brunson us TVT TY-EIGHT a O h w s 1 u o Q 2 W o U o Z -a CTi in Z D a; w u 3 W sf « C7 1 w C tj o en £ 12 o Z S u etf ►4 u H Z £ O o a: ( r X z p CO CO to a: a: a: X CQ P u. z 5 CO a Q 33 z PL, Z u 2 c In u - c H r h ( ; U CO J u C 3 4 — w o c 05 2 a: o o 2 § 1 — 1 1 a 0$ CQ C2 3 w a: z o 1 « z u CL. Eh 2- S-i A- Ji_j EoMONDSON Nichols Rogers The Cheer Leaders Peck Nichols has red hair and a very good voice. Yes! Very good voice, for when he snatches up a megaphone and says, Everybody upon ' Madelon ' , something is bound to happen. The cash customers way back on the top seats can hear easily; they all hop up and doff their respective hats while the boys sing their Alma Mater. This Peck is really good, and has worked long and faithfully to make us one of the best fellows who ever wore white clothes and yelled through maroon-colored horns in favor of Mississippi A. M. College. Certainly, no supporter of the maroon-clad legions has ever worked harder than Peck ; we do appreciate his efforts as cheer leader, and hope that he continues to whoop ' em up for A. M. Little Obed Edmondson is just a natural born cheer leader; when he takes charge of that southeast corner of the gym, all he has to do is whisper and the boys will roar. But when he roars himself (and he always does), the crowd he is leading is just simply going to raise the roof. He has the A. M. spirit, and is a student that any school would be proud to claim. Lanky Bill Rogers is another boy who believes in raising Cain when a Maroon and White squad takes the field. Bill is sometimes accused of being half crazy (due apology) ; we leave it to your imagination to conjure up the results he could accomplish if he were com- pletely crazy. Bill is going to be head cheer leader next year, and by the time he spends the whole summer yelling away in the timbers near his home, we are going to have to buy a set of ear muffs to listen at him next year. Walter Jack Manacjcr of Athletics Walter Jack, even though he is a perfectly nice boy, would in all probability steal if it were necessary to keep the Athletic Department on its feet, for he believes in A. M. and Maroon players. Jack has a fairly good voice himself, but he is not a cheer leader — he ' s the Athletic Manager. It seems that cervice is the main asset to be looked for in choosing a manager. Jack scored a complete bullseye on this point, for certainly no one else has been as interested in athletics from the managerial side as has Walter Jack. His one aim seems to have been service and loyalty to the teams, and he most surely lived up to this since he started toting football shoes. i nc c m. . m l im v: . 7  .j t • ; ■ -•■ m f ■ ■■■■■■■BHfeflHHHHL- A. M. ' s Second Touchdown Against Ole Miss, Q2 The Way the 1927 Maroons Stacked Up The 1927 season, while not a world beater, could be classed as successful and still be right. In no game were the Maroons held scoreless, and eight points was the highest margin of victory in any contest. The lineup was never a fixture, but generally read: McElveen, center; Smith and Weir, guards; Thompson and Brunson, tackles; Hartness and Gregory, ends; Chadwick, quarterback; Pappenheimer and Pickens, halves, and Wells, fullback. However, this line-up was constantly subject to change, especially after the injury of Gregory in the Auburn game, when practically every available end was used. The fact that twenty-two men received letters giyes evidence that no position was cinched from the beginning to the end. frtf Captain Bill Brunson, Tackle When the final whistle sounded over at Oxford, on Thanksgiving ' Day, it marked the final appearance of Captain Bill Brunson in a Maroon uniform. In round- ing out three dependable years of service to the Maroons. Captain Bill proved himself to be one of the coolest and most dependable men who ever led an A. M. team. Bill came to A. M. in ' 23, and was a regular tackle on the crack freshman team that boasted such luminaries as Jew Clark, Old Man Meeks, and Old Lady Jones. However. Bill was forced to withdraw from school the second semester and was not eligible for Varsity until ' 25. He made the team at once and became a regular tackle for three years, proving himself a thorn in the side of the ene- my offense all three seasons. Bill ' s capabilities did not stop with the gridiron work; he was very popu- lar in all student activities as well as a classroom ex- pert. His election to lead the 1927 Maroons attested to his standing with the other men of the squad. Alternate Captain Jelly Thompson Tackle Volumes could be written about Jelly and his work as a fighting Maroon, but the greatest tribute that could be paid him was paid in full when he was chosen to accompany the Southern Senior team to California, where he played a large part of the game. The radio announcers had it that only two plays were run at him. one resulting in a three-yard loss for the opponents, and the other for no gain. Jelly came to A. M. in the fall of ' 24, and proved a star on the freshman team. He continued his good work on the n8 varsity, never failing to start a game either as a freshman or varsity player. His play was always of the highest order, and we feel safe in saying that he is one of the best linemen in the South in knifing through the line and stopping the opponent in his tracks. Like Brunson, Jelly ' s student activities were excellent, and his personality fine. Besides being al- ternate captain of the team, he was president of the Senior Class. Captain-Elect ' Gene Chadwick Quarterback If a vote were to be taken on the most valuable player to the Maroons for 1927, we believe that the honor would fall to Gene Chadwick, son of Athletic Director Chadwick. To. the Maroons, Chadwick was an institution — an offense and defense within himself. His passing was acclaimed by sport writers as being second only to that of Bounding Bill Spears, and his kicking was by far the best in the Southland. Gene entered school with the Class of ' 2S, and while he made the freshman team, his play as a sophomore was nothing to write home about, and as a result he was relegated to the scrubs. But that year as a scrub made Gene, and he came up as a junior to take the play away from the rest of the backs and to win for himself a regular berth on the varsity. During last season, he passed at least one touchdown against every conference opponent with the exception of Au- burn, and in this game he was removed early in the contest, due to injuries. The election of Gene to cap- tain tlie 1928 team voiced the appreciation of the squad for his abilities. Lilly of Olc Miss Down? J Papa Hartness, End Papa Hartness, like his running mate, Fountain, entered in the fall of ' 24, and was successful as a freshman and an upper classman. He was one of the hardest fighting ends ever to wear the Maroon, and his fighting qualities led A. M. to many scons. Being one of the fastest men on the squad, Papa was always down under punts, and his tackling was abso- lutely deadly. He was usually on the receiving end of Chadwick ' s passes, and his catches in the L. S. U. and Ole Miss games were absolutely uncanny. The absence of Hartness in 1928 leaves a sore spot in the hearts of the Maroon supporters. Joe Fountain, End Joe Fountain, scrappy little end, was another senior who ended his A. M. gridiron career at Oxford. Joe entered in ' 24, was successful as a freshman, and the same can be said for his other three years. Fast, alert, and a quick thinker is Joe. His ability at diag- nosing plays was phenomenal. He was one of the hardest ends in the South to block, and his tackling was sure and vicious. Joe was also good in receiving passes and great at taking a tackle out. He will be sorely missed when the roll is called next year. Pickens Pick Noble, Fullback Pick Noble, brother of the venerable Dudy, en- tered school in ' 24, and ever since has been playing great ball both on defense and offense. He was away for one season, but with that exception, Pick has been out yearly, plugging along and always extending the other backs to play their best. Pick played his best ball last season, started in many contests, and played in nearly all games. He is fast, and will hit a stone wall if he thinks that it will make possible a gain for the old Alma Mater. Pick is one of the most popular boys on the campus, and residents of Maroonland hate to see him finish this year. Henry Wild Irish McCabe Quarterback Henry McCabe has been going out seasun after sea- son, since his freshman year in ' 24, and forcing the other backs to step out if they would play. Each year Irish got a little better, until in ' 27 he was one of the sweetest running backs on the squad. Speed is Henry ' s middle name, and he likes nothing better than to zig-zag through a broken field, and he ' s some potatoes at this style of football, if you ask us. Monroe Red McElveen, Center Red McElveen was a regular on the freshman team of ' 24, but the presence of Ole Lady Jones kept him from playing varsity football until this year. Red is of the floating center type, and he can drop back and intercept passes with the best of them. 1 1 is run of 95 yards on an intercepted pass against Auburn resulted in the score that broke the Plainman jinx, and was one of the high lights of the season. Red is a typical Irishman, and one of the hardest fighters on the squad. He was a sure tackle and great on of- fense. The Maroon supporters feel sure that center will be capably taken care of in 1928, with the return of Red McElveen. Paul Gregory, End The most promising man on the ' 27 squad. was the way Maroonland sized up Paul Gregory — sophomore end de luxe. And Gregory, in every game he played, more than fulfilled expectations. He proved to be the most graceful man on the squad; his tackling was sure, and his ranginess enabled him to grab passes with consummate ease. Then, in the midst of this beautiful playing came the Auburn game, and Greg- ory went out with a broken leg ' . Whether or not he will be able to play next year is problematical, but every A. M. man is pulling for him and hoping to see him back in uniform next year. 9 TY-EIGHT McCabe Running Through Birmingham-Southern Walter Pick Pickens, Half Pick is the kind of back who takes the knocks so that others may fain. When Coaches Hancock and Dauber came South, they brought with them the Iowa style of football. This style called for a Number 2 back who seldom carried the ball, and whose main work was to carry the opposing tackle for a rid3. They chose Pickens for this position, and Coach Han- cock said that Pickens would be a sensation on any Big Ten team. With 175 pounds, how that boy could work on a tackle! He was, without doubt, the hardest hitting man on the squad. Pickens is alter- nate captain for next year. William Pop Pappenheimer, Half Pop was mentioned by sport writers along with Banker of Tulane, Thomason of Tech, and Brasfield of Alabama, as being one of the outstanding sopho- more backs of the Southern Conference; and we sin- cerely believe he was. Pop was one of the fore- most broken-field men in the South. His work against Tulane, Birmingham-Southern, and Alabama stamped him as one of the best ball carriers. A sprained ankle kept him out of the last few games, but he ' s only a sophomore; so take a tip from us and watch him next year. Willie Wells, Fullback Willie was another sophomore who graduated into varsity ranks. Weighing but 167 pounds, and stand- ing six feet one, he nevertheless backed up the line and did a good job of it. Willie can carry the ball, and how that long boy can grab passes! Tall and graceful, and the best defensive back on the squad, Willie was invaluable to the Maroons. Everyone is pulling for him the next year. Roy GewROe Geoghegan, Guard Roy Geoghegan, the boy with the giant frame and the unspollable name, entered school in ' 24. After making the freshman squad, he was forced to with- draw, and did not get a shot at the varsity until ' 26. But when he did get a chance, he made the team at once, and has since put in two years of dependable playing. Weighing 215 pounds, Geoghegan is a fighting Irishman with the proverbial Irish wit. His long suit is on the defense, where he is one of the best at tak- ing out his opponent. Roy will be back in ' 28. Edward Allen, Quarterback Ed was another graduate of the frosh team of ' 26, and showed the same liking for varsity play. Even though he was the smallest man on the squad, fight and speed were habits of his, and his running was absolutely ghost-like. His seemingly impossible run of 75 yards against Millsaps was the margin of victory over the Majors. Ed is cool, can kick, run, and pass. What more do you ask of a quarterback, when we add that he is as smart as a whip? Ollie Shorty Smith, Guard Shorty Smith was one of the sensations of the past season. Built close to the ground and weighing 200 pounds, he was a terror to the opposition both on offense and defense. Shorty entered in ' 25, and be- sides playing freshman ball, has two letters from the varsity. The ' 27 season was his banner year; he was in the thick of the fight in every game, and on de- fense he repeatedly stopped the opposing backs be- fore they could reach the line of scrimmage. It gives the Maroons a sort of satisfaction to know that Smith will be back in ' 28. Jimmie Weir, Guard Big Jim Weir was one of the most improved players on the ' 27 squad. Entering in ' 25, he p.ayed freshman ball, and then spent a year on the second string; but this year he came up fighting and landed a berth as a regular guard, with dependability as his middle name. With his 200 pounds he was a tower of strength, and showed himself capable of handling himself in any and all company. He was great at blocking the opposing center on offense, and he smeared many a play on de- fense. Jim will be back next year, and great things are expected of him. ! ;• . •! ' • Piling ' Em Up in the Aggie-L. S. U. Clash Granny Wiseman, Center After the graduation of Ole Lady Jones, All-South- ern center, a wide gap was left in the middle of the line, and to say that Granny Wiseman ably assisted Red McEIveen in the snapper-baek position this year would be putting it mildly indeed. Granny was one of the hardest fighting linemen on the squad. Weigh- ing 180 pounds, he was a terror on the defense as well as a dependable man to have around on the offense. Granny entered in ' 25, and served one year on the freshman team, and was a near letter man as an un- derstudy to Ole Lady Jones the next year. Here ' s hoping Granny plays in ' 28 like he did in ' 25, ' 26, and ' 27. Dutch Stone, Fullback Dutch Stone, brother of the venerable Hook, was a graduate of the crack frosh team of ' 26, and showed the same stuff as a sophomore as he did as a first- year man. Built low and packing 170 pounds, he had tremendous drive, coupled with Mercury-like speed. Dutch played in practically every game, and did plenty in each encounter. That he could run a broken n ' Id was demonstrated in all contests. We ' re all ex- pecting great things of Dutch next year. Crymes Pittman, Guard We could say plenty about Crymes, but the main thing that we want to say is that he ' s smart — and when we say smart, we mean just that. He can out- think and out-fight almost any man on anybodys ball club, and he is fast. What more could a coach want in a player? And to show that he had it in a foot- ball way, Crymes went out last season and made a letter at guard, weighing only 175 pounds. Pitt is a junior and football is his passion. He should go great guns in ' 28. J. H. Brooks, Tackle Brooks is one of those men who, after plugging along for a time suddenly awaken and find that, grid- ically speaking, they are football players. He did that thing last season and his presence was felt in every game that he entered. He is tall and strong as a bull yearling. Add to this the fact that he can and does fight and you have all the ingredients for a good foot- ball player. Such a man was Brooks, and he should be even better next season. Christy Christopher, End Christy was one of the finds of the ' 27 season. Big, fast, and smart, he developed rapidly under the coaching of Hancock, and the end of the season found him going strong. Christopher entered in ' 25, played freshman ball, and spent one year on the second string, showing promise that blossomed out in ' 27. His play throughout the entire season was good, but his work at the latter part of the schedule showed him as an end with a future. Kirk Crawford, Halfback Kirk was another of the fine host of sophomore backs, whose offensive work throughout the entire sea- son was great. He was one of the best Maroon bets at advancing the ball, and he possessed no little amount of drive. Time and again did his twisting and swerv- ing bring yardage for our side. His defensive work, too, was excellent, as he was one of the hardest tack- ling backs on the squad. Pee Wee Lewis, End The past year was Pee Wee ' s second year on the varsity, and if anything, despite the injuries he re- ceived, he was even better than he was as a sopho- more. Lewis is big and an excellent defensive man. His ability at diagnosing plays was one of his main assets, and it was this quality of his that saved the Maroons more than once. With another season before him and with his regular rate of improvement, barring injuries, Pee Wee should be one of the stars of the ' 28 season. The Outlook For 1928 Although the 1927 sea son was more consistent and perhaps more gratify- ing than the 1926 season, we can hardly say that the Maroons emerged from the 1927 season with more than mediocre success. To say that we lost only three games and that in none of these was the margin of victory more than eight points may sound good to some, but A. and M. foot- ball players, A. and M. students, and A. and M. alumni wi I not rest con- tent until those few extra points are supplied. Losses due to graduation will affect the 1928 back- field rather mildly as compared with similar losses of last year. Wells and Crawford, in addi- tion to graduates, McCabe and Noble, cannot answer Coach Dauber ' s call next September — a heavy, but not a fatal loss. The line will suffer a heavier loss in the persons of Brunson, Thompson, Fountain, Hart- ness and probably Greg- ory. These men will be hard to replace, but Coach Hancock can be counted on to produce a scrapping line. At this early date four- teen letter men are ex- pected to be available, in addition to a number of promising men from the scrubs and frosh. Coach Dauber will have in the backfield five proven men and eight or ten others who will make somebody work for positions on the Varsity. In the line Coach Hancock will have nine letter men and a number of others who have shown themselve i capable, together with several outstanding fresh- men. With this material to work with, we should be able next year to supply those few extra points which look so small and yet are so hard to get. Made even before spring practice, this estimate can be little more than specu- lation, but whether we win or lose, we will have a fighting team. Football Results, 1927 l.andM.

Theirs is the weekly task of learning the plays of the opposition and daily practicing them against the varsity ; it is theirs to stay behind each week and watch the team depart, and strive a little harder to become finished players. Hard knocks, bruises, sprains, no compensations, no trips — such is the life of the scrub. And yet, they silently carry on the work, for without them there could be no varsity. But just here, let us pause to say that battering year after year against the varsity produces men — and sometimes, great football players. Give the varsity credit for their victories, but do not forget to give the scrub the credit for shaping the victors. t p nt Y-EIGHT ; THE FRESHMAN SQUAD reshman The 1927 Freshman season, while probably not so good as the ' 20 campaign, can he clsssed as suc- cessful. Four games were played with two wen and the same number lost. The two on the right side of the ledger were verdicts over the L. S. U. Baby Bengals and State Teachers College. The Alabama Rats and the Florida Baby ' Gators returned home as victors over the Pups. From the standpoint of raw material, the ' 27 team offers probably more to the Varsity than any freshman team in the last four years. Such backs as Carley. Vandevere, Burke, Spigener, and Bridges should prove to be ball car- riers of no mean ability. The line, too, should come in for its share of stars with Mathews, C ' rig- ler, Standefer, Wiseman, and several others. Verily, we say, Coach Hancock will welcome the ' 27 frosh with open arms when they return for fluty as sopho- mores. The freshmen opened their season on October 21 with a 24-0 victory over the State Teachers at Hat- tiesburg. Carley and Vandevere ran wild, shoving over four touchdowns by straight football, coupled with some off tackle and through end jaunts by Burke and Spigener. The defensive work of the en- tire Pup line and the hole stopping activities of Vandevere were added attractions. The second game was with the Alabama Rats at Meridian. It was played as an attraction of the Fair, and the Rats managed to pass themselves to a 13-0 victory over the Pups. However, the famed running attack- of the Rats was smeared on almost every attempt, and the Maroons gained more yards from the line of scrimmage than did the Alabama lads. The way Vandevere hit that highly touted Football line, Singleton, Clements, et al, was a caution; and the way those Bullpup linemen held was enough to satisfy the most skeptical spectator that the Pups were really playing football. The third game was with the R S. TJ. Tiger Cubs, and the Bullpups sent them back to Baton Rouge on tile short end of a 13-0 count. What Carley did to those babies was aplenty, and the way Vandevere and Spigener stopped the runs and passes was a delight to see. And in the line. Colvin, Crigler, Wiseman. Russell, and Mathews were smearing ev- erything that came their way. All in all, it was just too much Pup; and so the Bengals had to accept defeat as a form of vengeance for ruining a perfect season for the ' 20 Frosh team. The last game on the schedule was with the Flor- ida Baby ' Gators and the most amazing one ever seen on Scott Field. Although seeming to outplay the ' Gators, the Maroons were beaten 26 to 7. A red headed flash from the sunshine state ruined the Maroons by scoring four touchdowns. One of the point setting jaunts was for 102 yards that left the cash custo mers dumfounded to say the least. Carley time and again tore through the ' Gator line for substantial gains, but his and the wonderful play of the others, was not enough to offset the Paddock- like dashes of Red Bethea. And so, the Pups lost even though they scored the most first downs. When we sum up the season, we find that the Pups of ' 27 were a hard fighting, hard hitting ag- gregation that should graduate many men to the Varsity ranks. These men will bear watching throughout their entire collegiate careers. n 126 zmm If II llll ! ■!!

The first game was very closely fought, our team losing by only one point; but accurate free shots were the main points in favor of the B. A. C. men the next night, as they took the second game by a five-point margin. For the next game, which was during the Christmas holidays, the Maroons jumped up to the Bluff City, and easily defeated the Memphis Y. M. C. A. by the score of 30-20. Tu ' ane came to the campus on January 6, 7. Our boys easily iced the first game, to the tune of 52-14. The next game was almost as easy for the Maroons as number one. A bunch of scrapping, polished baske tball players came up here from Mississippi College on January 13, and tamed the Bulldogs in one of the hardest-fought games of the season, 34-26. Defeat was our portion in the next game, played on the Clinton court; but there w ' ill be another series next year. At Nashville, the final count read: Vanderbilt, 38; Us, 44. And then the boys went over to play a crew called the Rail-lites in Chattanooga. The Lites must have blinded our boys, for the score said: We, 20, They, 45. Next, the Tigers from Baton Rouge came for a business call. Right off the bat the L. S. U. team was treated to a 44-28 de- feat. The second night was a repetition of the tea party of the previous evening. 235 V ' M t? RABBIT MEREDITH Torw cd GRADY H0LL1 DAY Center RED M c EL VEEN Cent ay m It is a true pleasure to record the scores and proceedings of the next two games. Ole Miss, the home of Homer (Hazel), was host to the Maroon players in a brace of entertainments for the evenings of February 6, 7. Exams had just been completed here, and they must have been easy ones for Phil Berry, Papa Hartness, and Red Ricks, because these three had evidently been practicing all week on the finer points of guarding and goaling, to judge from the way they made Lany Lila, Ary, and Cary look for the hampers in vain. Our boys returned with two fine victories over the Ole Miss lads, taken right off their court at Oxford. There seems to be some peculiar occult power connected with those glass backboards at Alabama; anyway, that was the only Conference defeat our team suffered during the regular sched- ule. Mark that— ONE CONFERENCE DEFEAT. Rut, the ' Bama boys came over to A. M. a week later and submitted very gracefully to a 26-20 lacing. And then on the 20th and 21st of February, our friends from Ole Miss dropped by on their way to the tournament at At- lanta. Also, they dropped two more games into the win bas- ket of the A. M. basketball team, our Maroons winning, 45-34. and 40-36. The first game was duck soup for Papa ' s boys; but the second — oh, the second! Ole Mi ;s was ' way ahead at the half, and we all felt like saying, Well, we won the series, anyhow. But the A. M. fellows who play basketball didn ' t seem to think that way about it. They got started, and before long the start had grown into a lead — and about that time most of us went crazy, for it is not every time that we make a clean sweep of a series against our ancient rivals. Papa, Phil, Jerry, Hooligan, and Two Reds put it over for us, though. GENE CHADWICK ' i «M ' w S Wk k ft Hi jM- THE SQUAD Standing: Jack, Meredith, Turner, Christopher, Chadwick; Pate, Dauber Kneeling: Meredith, Berry, Hartness, McElveen, Ricks, Harris, Holliday Red Ricks was injured in this series, and his presence was keenly missed at the tournament. The Maroons were paired off against Washington and Lee the first day of the tournament, and the Generals were disposed of in easy fashion. The University of Virginia was the next victim of our slashing attack, and our hopes were mounting high when we went to the semifinals against Auburn. But Auburn, it seems, was the owner of the rabbit foot or something; so our boys sat in the stands the next night and watched the victory over Auburn for the Southern Con- ference Championship go to Ole Miss, the team that our Maroons beat four times in four starts. 1928 Basketball Results Birmingham A.

M. track squad was weak in field events, but in the majority of its competition, it was strong enough in the track events to overcome this handicap. The squad first sent representatives to the Georgia Tech Relays in Atlanta; then won a dual meet with Tulane at New Or- leans; lost a hard-fought struggle with L. S. U. at Baton Rouge, and won easily over Alabama on the campus in the last dual meet of the season. The team th:n entered the Southern Conference meet at L. S. U., and won third place for A. M. in the face of the strongest opposition ever en- countered at a S. I. C. meet. At the Tech Relays the Maroons won second in the half mile relay and third in the mile relay. The Freshman squad, Gilmore, McKay, Brown and Allen, were second in the special freshman mile relay. The Varsity entrants were Cato, Roney, Jones, Barfield, Mann and Turner. The Varsity runners showed up exceptionally well in outdistanc- ing the strong Indiana relay team for second in the half-mile event. 132 Relay: Worthington, Cato, Turner, Barfield The Tulane Meet Coach Bierman ' s cinder charges literally swamped the Tulane track team by the score of 8 1 to 31. The A. M. athletes registered a total of ten first places out of fourteen events, and in some of them placed both first and second. Cato was easily the star of the meet, winning two first and two second places. He showed the Tulane run- ners his heels when he clipped off the 100-yard dash in 9.8 seconds, and the 220 in 22 seconds flat. Turner, Mann, Smith, Clark, and Banks also won first places in the meet. Bernie ' s men were just better than the Greenies, and ran away with the meet in easy style. The team appeared to be well balanced and nicely trained both in track and field events. The L. S. U. Meet The Maroons, fresh from a victory over Tulane, went to meet the strong L. S. U. Tigers. The Tigers proved to be best, handing us a defeat by the close score of 58 to 54. Although our Maroons captured nine first places out of fourteen events, they failed to follow up with a sufficient number of second and third places. The Tigers scored heav- ily in the field events to offset the Maroon track lead. Turner furnished an upset in the quarter mile when he defeated the star Bengal runner, while Clark also furnished a sur- prise by taking the broad jump with 22 feet, 8% inches. Fugate i33 Ole Lady Jones wins easily over the Alabama hurdlers. Fugate also drew applause when on his last attempt he hurled the javelin 185 feet, 7 inches to beat Holliday in the final event. One of the best races of the meet was the two-mile run in which Smith of A. M. broke the tape two yards ahead of Mitchell of L. S. U. The meet was staged before a large crowd in L. S. U. ' s new stadium. A strong wind blew down the track against the runners in the sprints, and with the exception of the broad jump and the javelin, no exceptional marks were made. The Alabama Meet The Maroon, on the home field, proceeded to swamp the University of Alabama cinder stars by the score of 96 to 38. The meet was a runaway for A. M., as our boys won every first place with the exception of the shot put, which was won by Bowder of Alabama. The meet was held on a heavy field, which prevented any chance of record runs, but, despite this handicap, several nice exhibitions were staged. Southern Conference Meet The Maroons placed third in the Southern Conference Meet held at Baton Rouge. L. S. U. won first place from Georgia Tech by the scant margin of one point. After trailing Tech the entire meet, L. S. U. came through to win first and third places in the javelin, the last event on the RoNEY program. A. M. scored thirty points. Turner, who 134. Clark in characteristic form. won the 440-yard dash in 49.6 seconds, was the only Maroon to win a first place, although Stanley Clark broke the Southern Conference broad jump record only to have Hamm of Tech outclass him a few inches. Cato placed second in the 220, and Fugatc second in the jave- lin throw. Clark i35 ENTY-EIGHT sPRI 8B3S S.J : ' Standing: Mann, Smith, Raspberry, Cooper Kneeling: Rainey, Scales, Kyzar Cross Country The A. and M. Cross Country Team of 1927 was a well-rounded aggregation of distance men who won their only dual meet and placed well up in the annual Birming- ham Road Race. Captain Bill Mullins began early in the school year to train his squad of harriers; there were a good many men out for the distances, and also a good number of sprinters and field men who wished to get a bit of extra training before the 1928 track season. The team, composed of Captain Mullins, Byars, Floore, Cooper and Brown, journeyed down to Mississippi College on the Home-coming Day at that institution ; and, despite the difficult course which has sometimes been disastrous to A. and M. runners, they came home with a victory over the hard-running men from the Baptist school. At the Birmingham Road Race the Maroons won third place out of a large field of entries. The same team that entered the Choctaw race competed in the Birming- ham event; the unusually strong competition prevented the A. and M. team from annexing the trophy; we are one of the three schools that now have two legs on the cup, and it is the aim of the track squad to cinch this trophy for A. and M. 136 HEHffio ' i-± RED BATES 137 z O tt.

The regular players lost by graduation and otherwise from the year before were: Corley, catcher; Amsler and Hopper, outfielders; Peel, Loewer and Hartzog, infielders; Bolton, Crigler and Stringer, pitchers. As a basis on which to build a team, Coach Noble had the following players from the year before: Thompson and Stewart, outfielders; Noble, first base; Bates, utility infielder; Priester, sub-catcher; and Chapman and Harris, pitchers. Besides the above mentioned men, there were numerous scrubs and sophomores trying for the team. Among them were: Turner, Featherstone and Jackson, scrubs; and McClellan, Hull, Webb, Francis, Nash, McGehee and Smith, all sophomores and trying out for the team the first time. The 1927 team was practically a new one throughout, not one of the players playing the same position that he played the year before. Thompson was moved to left field, Noble to right field, Harris to first base, Priester to shortstop, Bates to third base, and Stewart to center field. Nash and McClellan, both sophomores, played catcher and second base respectively. Pitching ability was very scarce. Chapman, the only pitcher left over from the previous year, was exceptionally good for college baseball, but the remainder of the pitchin g staff was only fair. Practice began the first of February, and much hard work was put in for some time. The team worked faithfully while on the field, mostly on fundamentals, consisting mainly of batting, throwing, sliding, base-running, and practice games. Besides this work, the team studied the theory of baseball in night classes under Coach Noble. Good batters were scarce, but this was offset to some degree by the type of game used by the team. It is a well known fact that Coach Dudy ' s teams are always well trained in the bunt, hit and run, and bunt squeeze plays. When the team left the campus for the first game, every member was in good condition, and trained to the point at which they would be able to play good baseball. The results of the first seven games showed the benefits of the early season practice. Mercer University was first met and defeated in each of the two games. From Mercer, the Maroons journeyed over to Gaines- ville, Florida, and won three games from the Florida ' Gators. Then, Georgia Tech was de- feated in two games; the Aggies played a brand of ball that was unequaled by any of their 139 HT rrrrf iHn Priester Nash McClel LAN- Huffman opponents on this trip. The second victory against Tech was exceedingly costly in that Heif Stewart was lost to the team for the remainder of the season due to a broken ankle sustained in sliding home in the fourth inning. This loss of Stewart was very keenly felt by the team as he was playing the best game of his career; his fielding and throwing had been marvelous, and his hitting had been hard and timely. Stewart was, in fact, the mainstay of the team, providing leadership in his wonderful hitting, marvelous fielding, excellent base running, and his everlasting pep and fighting spirit. Runt was leading the team in hitting at the time of his injury. A. and M. will always remember him for his spirit, as well as his constant efforts to improve his playing. It was at this point in the season that the team suffered another loss in Huffman, the sec- ond string catcher. Huffman would have probably ably reinforced the catching staff at a critical time had he not been out with the mumps. The Maroons then played several games with Western Conference teams, winning two, los- ing one, and tieing one. Chapman pitched wonderful ball against these teams, as he had al- ready done on the first trip. He made quite an enviable record on the trip, striking out thirty- eight men and allowing only fourteen hits in three full games. After the loss of Stewart, the team never seemed to strike a proper balance. They managed to win from weaker opponents, but when stiffer competition was met later in the season, a jinx seemed to be on them, and they could not get going again. First, the pitching and catching fell off. Chapman, the mainstay of the hurling staff, had an off day on the day of the first game with Alabama, and never was able to get back in his early-season form. The Maroons trounced the Tulaners without much trouble, and divided the first series with Ole Miss, but Ole Miss came back to win both the remaining games, giving them the series. Alabama won all three games played. These two teams were exceptionally strong, Ole Miss in particular being very much better than the average Ole Miss team. However, if the Aggies had been playing the brand of baseball they played on the first trip of the season, the story might have been very different. The entire team was trying, but they could not win games. Vandy brought a strong team to the campus and won the first game, but lost the second to the Maroons, who showed a flash of their early season form to beat Moss, the premier hurler of the Southern Conference. The season as a whole, in regard to games won and lost, was only fair, but several men showed some baseball ability. McClellan should be mentioned especially for his hitting; he was a newcomer, a sophomore, who played both second base and outfield during the season. 140 ...Tf- Featherstone Thompson Nobi.e Jackson Games A. and M.

After a good bit of hard work, he assem- bled a team, mostly from raw material, which was better than the usual A. M. Freshman team. There was plenty of pitching talent available in Eiland, Henley, Harala, Gregory, Armour, Ferrell, and Broach. The catching department was taken care of by Allen, Christo- pher, and Scott. There were many candidates for the infield. Those showing up best were: Maxwell and Armstrong, first base; Alford and Travis, second base; Pappenheimer and Stone, shortstop, and Harris, third. Hartness, Melton, Frederic, Henley, and Harala acquitted themselves well in the outfield. The Bullpups won four of the seven games played, dropping three games to the ' Bama Rats by close scores. Eiland lost two games to the ' Bama Freshies — each by the score of i-O. The pitching staff was by far the best part of the Freshman Team, and Eiland, Henley, and Harala are being groomed for the Varsity, as they showed every indication of being able to make the grade. 142 Features - : : ' M:r ' ; ' ■5 MmS 0 W JPJ rat lO s casBsaEzsggsgggggi BEAUTY (fMiss (Lillian Simpson Q fUss Esther Hundley _ xBKiss ' Virginia HZgynolds (Miss eMary Caldwell oMiss etty Qooper oMiss TeMlie c Dawson Willful, Winsome Woman She ' s an angel in truth, a dream in fietion, Oil, woman ' s the greatest of all contradictions!

But after all, there ' s nothing in the world to me Like A. and M. Or any place in it that I ' d rather be Than A. and M. And as I leave I ' ll draw a sigh, For happy college days gone by!

Rifle Club In the past few years so much interest has been manifested in small-bore firing at A. and M. that last year a rifle and pistol club was formed, the purpose being to promote interest in marksmanship among students, and to create a familiarity in the use of the rifle and pistol. This year the rifle and pistol club is an outstanding club of the college. It boasts of a larger number of members, and more active members than any other club. Last year the club was recognized by and became affiliated with the National Rifle Association, and fired 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. The in- dividual member seems to take the greatest of pride in trying to put his name at the top of the list in every match fired. Owing to these facts, out of thirty-one matches fired this season, the club has thirty-one scalps nicely dried and hanging on the wall. This is about one-third of the accepted matches to be fired. At the end of the season, the club intends to have one hundred and two scalps safely salted away. 223 T £ i 3 £ 1 Land Ross Myers Dean Smyth Kendricks Dairy Club Officers E. G.

If you were not popular you would be slighted, so please maintain your sweet disposition and do not let your temper get the better of you. If you like this section, go along as usual in your own sweet way ; if not, do not mention it to anyone — everyone has troubles of his own. Kafijya Alftha Favorite Odor: Jasmine and Four Roses Favorite Atmosphere: Rarified Our only redeeming feature is Mr. Towles, and even he seems a bit ruined by association. Harry Lambdin bosses us right now, but we hope to elect a four-year senior next year and establish a precedent thereby. All our pledges must show unusual ability in the social sciences, but a black sheep manages to slip by us now and then. Eventually we hope to have a majority in the Dramatic and Salmagundi clubs, and thereby control them, but we seem to be losing ground in the fight. Reverse our Greek letters, change them to English, and you have the best possible index to our (collective) character. Pi Kafaa Aljyha Founded: Originally, but now foundered. Odor: Scent of new mown hay Favorite Sensation: Wet We ' re after the Dramatic Club, too, and we intend getting Joe Byrd, Dick Stockett and A. B. Kelly in it at the spring tr youts, but heaven only knows what parts they will be able to take. Our members seem to be adept in getting the minor roles, and we were forced to call Rezin Pepper back to take a postgraduate course so that one of us could have more than sixteen lines in a play. Piker fits us to a T , and we are always pure and wholesome (we have more men on the Y cabinet, and they do less than any other fraternity on the campus). Kafifta Gamma Characteristic Odor: Lemon Sour Types Preferred: Come One, Come All Motto: Back to the country, boys! This was Ag Ritter ' s idea, and when he saw how it was turning out, he flunked out. Our pin is modeled after Solomon ' s Seal, and we are hoping to some day bid someone who knows enough about symbolism to make up a swell meaning for it. Kafi-fra Sigma Theta Preferred Type: Everyth ' ng South of the Smith and Wesson Line. Preferred Odor: Aroma of Halitosis Founded: By Accident ' Ray! we caught us a Prof! After chasing successively after Badeye Bowen, Governor Mellen, Dean Lipscomb and Theta Barnes, we gave Bill Rogers a bid, and he managed to fish Mr. Cooper in. Therefore, we caught a prof. We are not certain, but it is rumored that when Dr. Walker looked over our application for permission to organize, he said, . No, he didn ' t! Dr. Walker is a gentleman. 286 Pi Gamma Delta Founded: Yes, we were. Nothing can be done about it now. Favorite Odor: Perspiration Preferred Type: Bulldogs We go in for leaders among the student body, and we have damn near all of them already. In fact, we do have all of any importance except two, and if the lamented leader of the ' 27 strike had not decided to lead an agrarian life, we would have all but one. And if Mr. Wamsley were not so tied up in Delta Sigma Tau, we would have them all! We don ' t know what our Greek letters stand for, but everyone else got some, so we had to be in the swim. Anyway, we got p!ns to show off! Delta Sigma Tau Founded: A Disputed Question Favorite Odor: Faint Perfume Favorite Types: Earnest Student and Car Owner We have the only low Dutchman in school. Fritz says he ' s Swiss, but Dutch suits us. Alumni 1492 looked well in the Reveille before any frats began showing up, but we can ' t afford to be behind in anything, and when a frat starts anywhere else, we have to have one in the Bandhall too. We bid every freshman who can play a musical instrument (harmonica included) an d look superior. Incidentally, we hope the bottom floor of the Handhall is fumigated next summer. We don ' t like visitors. ee Guard Founded: Perhaps Open Motto: Tux at Veritas Favorite Odor: Hair Dressing Chief Advantage: Our Credit Just wait! We may be only a local now, but when we finally muster an average of 80 for a semester watch us strut a Kappa Alpha pin! We ' re not dumb, or anything like that, but we do love to step out now and then and, too, when we go somewhere we can borrow a K. A. pin and wear it without any of the other boys getting sore. G eorge Rifl es Favorite Haunts: The Tea House Preferred Types: Smith Bros. Favorite Odor: The Morning After the Night Before. There must be a backward group in every collection of fraternities, and since we are the best adapted to that role at A. and M., we naturally take it. We specialize in athletics, and naturally our scholarship is nothing to set the woods on fire. One of us manages to get a degree now and then, however, and that heartens us so much that we come back again and again. Our average attendance is, disregarding shipments, etc., five years, two months and a day. We bid anyone from Starkville or anyone who rates with Starkville girls. Sigma Phi Delta Founded: In 1898 by Henry Ford Favorite Odor: Moist Corks Colors: Pink and Red (Pajamas and Whiskey) Preferred Types: Anyone who hasn ' t brains enough to keep away. We ' re the original rough and ready boys, always ready for a fight — preferably among our- selves. We rate on Sundays, At last we are com ' ng into fame, maybe, but we have just the types that would. We are exclusively exclusive in every way. Due to the departure of one of our number, we are somewhat on the wane, but we have great faith in the remaining brothers. Join us and learn the tricks. 287 FRATERNITY, COLLEGE AND CLASS JEWELRY Commencement Announcements and Invitations Jeweler to THE SENIOR CLASS of MISSISSIPPI A. M.

Student) -T 5 o Face Yourself at Sixty-Five YOUTH is the formative time of life when the founda- tion of success or failure is laid. It is a critical time when habits are formed which will be life-long com- panions. Thrift habits are just as easily formed as waste habits. To-day, while everything contributes to make squandering of money easy, thrift — that character building influence — is most difficult to attain. The United States Government suggested that 20% of the annual income should be laid aside for the rainy day. It is often difficult to find a safe investment for money. Persistent and systematic saving from year to year is subject to many interruptions. Thrift plans are often dis- turbed by sickness or accident. The purchase of a Reliance Life Perfect Protection Policy, however, affords you the benefits of a gilt-edge investment, together with the means of constantly laying aside a definite portion of your income, year in and year out, against the time when death, accident, sickness or old age infirmity may cut off your income. To look into these future complications and then act judiciously is to claim your birthright to comfort and happiness. During youth is the best time to begin your insurance program.

College Edition By Emily Post CORRECT BEHAVIOR IN THE CAFETERIA Always look through the stacks until you find a new, unbent tray. Pick up at least seventeen knives in order to be sure that you have one that will hold peas. Be sure to slip four or five pieces of cutlery in the pockets of the man ahead of you ; if he should happen to drop a fork, he will thank you for this thoughtful courtesy. In going down the line, be very alert and apt in your criticism of the food, the prices, and the service — this will make the attendants wake up and give you courteous, smiling service. Stand up for your rights at all times — if your oysters are small, take some from another dish. Be sure to double up on pickles, they ' re so expensive. Put rolls in your pockets. Always carry a pocketful of pennies and count out your change carefully; there ' s no hurry. As soon as you have seated yourself at a table, pick out some acquaintance to serve as a target for your empty cereal boxes, bottle caps, bread, and other tab ' e rubbish. This impromptu target practice is one of the main reasons for the efficiency of A. and M. ' s artillery unit. If you have picked up a soup spoon instead of a teaspoon, go ahead and use it; you should always hurry to finish eating, you see. Should you finish eating before the others at your table, rise, rinse each chair with a dash of cold water, and make your escape before the news of your departure seeps through.

Carol Commander: I don ' t give a damn whether you do or not. Doc Mitchell : Come back at this time tomorrow. Prof. Stark: It ' s not so hard, but it ' s so long.
