HOME MANAGEMENT HOUSE The college gets its spicy taste of domesticity from the Home Economics Practice House at the edge of the campus. Preparing the future homemakers of America for their great task, its residents serve a term in every position from cook to hostess and furnish proof of their knowledge in the serving of their well-balanced, beautifully served meals. 14 PRESIDENT ' S HOME In keeping with our president ' s efforts and interest in our curriculum is his home which is a vital part of the campus. This work of white colonial architecture is a true symbol of Southern hospitality and a greeting of Welcome! issues forth to citizens, faculty, and student bodv.

As typical of S. F. A. as apple pie is of America is our beloved Aikman Gym. It is the one building that has remained untouched and strictly for students. Now both girls and boys receive their physical instruction here, and it has become S. F. A. ' s own recreational center. It is particu- larly historic for the Lone Star Conference championships which have been won here and for the peppy games our Lumberjacks have played. AIKMAN GYM W. R. C Where blue shorts and white tennis shoes used to reign, it ' s now khaki and salutes. But there are still echoes of dancing, basketball, and tumbling classes for S. F. A. ' s coeds. And the private, vice versa, and all-college dances which put the Women ' s recrea- tional Center on the map, will never be forgotten. 1 1 la, •,igiir AttHr •• £2

BAND SHACK Under the baton of Maestro J. T. Cox, band members flock here every Mon- day night for a regular session of prac- tice. This is the seat of the many honors bestowed upon the purple and white aggregation, and its fame origi- nated in this hall. For the duration of the war, however, the band shack has been converted into barracks for the headquarters company of the local WAAC school. COLLEGE FARM Furnishing a bit of local color to the 40 acres is the pride of all agriculture majors — the College Farm. In this wholesome environ- ment, the future farmers and dairymen of America put into practice what they learn in theory and make it a thriving, essential element of S. F. A. BIRDWELL FIELD Birdwell Field has not witnessed the usual gay spirit of the students, as football was eliminated from the col- lege sport curriculum this year. How- ever, it has not been idle, but has been the scene of both the boys ' and girls ' calisthenics classes.
