26 THE AGROMECK: NINETEEN THIRTEEN Senior Class l tstorp One hundred and twenty-eight. Thai was the force which our class marshalled into the hitherto unknown mysteries of college life in September, 1909. This number was made up of undignified, reserved country rustics and disdainful city high school graduates along with all intervening castes repre- sented. But the harriers of caste and lack of acquaintance began to crumble away when, for the first time, we all assembled in Pullen Hall to elect officers for the Class of 1913. At the first meeting H. .1. Powell was chosen to serve his half organized class in the capacity of temporary President. A few weeks later permanent organization was effected, this time with .1. I. McCallum, the happy go lucky Hornet, in the Chair. The colors adopted were navy blue ami white; the flower, the violet- emblem of faithfulness; and the motto.

Coward, presiding over our Junior year, bridged most happily that transient period from underclassmen to Seniors for the sixty-six who had, defy- ing difficulties, persisted thus far on the course. The President of tlie Senior Class is ( ' . (I. Spencer, whose ideal has been cooperation with the Faculty for the betterment of A M. Fifty-seven men have survived the weeding out process to which the class has been subjected during the past four years. In this number are a lew who have joined along t he road. In athletics the class holds a distinctive record, unparalleled in the history of the college. Her football team has never been scored upon! This is due largely to the self-sacrificing spirit of the individual players manifested while in training for the different class games. In baseball our class won the cham- pionship as Freshmen. Defeat, however, was our portion for both Sophomore and Junior years. The Class of L913 has furnished some of the best gridiron material thai the State afforded. I). A. Robertson and I). B. Floyd were accorded places on the All South Atlantic Squad. The following men have all played ' Varsity ball-
