Those ot us who realh worked are few — the five of us you see here sparked by Prof. W. .M. Bryant, Public Rela- tions Director, and Art Instructor Geor je Villiams — and we had to sandwich the work in between classes, studying, and other activities. If it pleases ou we ' re ilad ; if it fails to meet your expectations, well, we tried. ' ith the help of . Ie er ' s Photo Studio, Moore ' s Photo Studio, and campus photof rapher Howard Ward we ' ve i;iven ou representative scenes of the campus and pictures of events and occasions throu ;hout the year. We hope that this hook will serve to remind ' ou — no matter how far from here ciu go, nor how long ' ou stay away — of the man friends ou made here, and the man happ da s i)u spent here.

Most of the credit goes, of course, to Julius Kilgore, our indefatigable and in- comparable editor-in-chief. We can say of him that Never before have so many owed so much to one man. He suffered. Our other editors and staff members come in for their share of the credit, also, in bringing to you each month, and on time, cr — that is — just about on time, your paper — The Register.

Head of Business Department Jo Jhe S e emo s The voice of duty new calls forth the members of the graduating class of 1949 into a world in dire need of prepared individuals. And it is sincerely hoped that every senior, as a result of his training here, will he able to heed that call. From this grad- uating class we expect future leaders in the various communities, and propagators of wisdom who will make the world a better place. During your four cars here some of ou seniors have excelled in athletics, dra- matics, music, student government, and various other affairs. A few of the outstand- ing ones include such as John Hollingworth, a most versatile student and a very de- pendable member of the class . . . Leonard Simon, another outstanding student, influ- ential member of the class and president of Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society . . . Lawrence Shipp, president of Beta Kappa Phi . . . Albert Spruill, class prexy and member of several organizations. Others of the class who were outstanding through- out their stav here includes Smith Knight, editor of this publication, Shirley Bullock, president of Sigma Rho Sigma, Helen Blackmore, and Elizabeth Samuels. Many others could be named but space is limited, so we say simply that the College agam loses a class that will long he remembered. - SENIORS da Ul AKIiidiit- M.nd Allen Jusf[tll Allfll Fattvc Allen CcU-ltT AKtc.n (.

Iiss A, and T. and Homecoming Queen, whose personality ' and charm won for her the highest honor the tudent body offers reigned graciously, the orchid she wore no lovelier than the face above it. The College Band sounded forth its snappy melodies, agile majorettes added to the color of the festivities. In strictU military fashion, the event was made even more colorful vhen Freshman girls in blue skirts and gold sweaters formed the Iorgan ' s M , and Morgan ' s Alma Mater boomed forth from the stands. Back on the Aggie side of the field, the girls formed a living A. and T. and thousands of voices filled the air with Dear A. and T., a monument indeed . . . Spirits soared when at the end of a thrilling game the Aggies won 6-U. After the game a dinner was given for the Alumni, and a round of dances and parties brought to a close the ac- tivities of the 194S Homecoming. ;?■.— j ji ■ I 1 -jj V Fli ahfth Sjttcrw liite -Miss Ci-E.l Jennie Smith Miss I, In, hi HllMECOMINC, (jri-.KXS ntn ' , J -; f |trNs e Carne ' Mtss u.o.T.cr V f4 : I.,il I:, iifilil: Jennie l)e ' eau . .Wiji ) ,i .
