51? Miss RUTH ODELL, Sponsor Qibe Zlggiz Giattler THE AGGIE TATTLER was introduced into the School of Agriculture last year by a few enthusiastic members of the Class of '17. They decided that such a progressive school as this should be represented in the high school world. The most appropriate means was thru the columns of a real live paper. The paper was also intended to create school interest and to furnish news to the members and alumni. At the beginning of the present school year, the Work of editing the paper was taken up by a staff chosen from the Class of '18. The loyal support of the Faculty and students has enabled this staff to put out a volume which they trust has accomplished in a measure some of the things which they have desired it might. The paper now has a prominent place in the school, and it is the sincere hope of the staff that it may continue to increase in excellence and interest. . ll!!

Z-BRI? Beutsnbe Herein Now it so happened that in a seat of learning, known as the State Farm, where flows the Dead Man's Run, there were those who were blessed with the far sight of the Prophets of Old. Now these who dwelt in the land of milk and honey were a goodly lotkstout men and fair maidens----so when they gathered together in the council chambers there were a goodly number. And one spake in this wise----men and brethren is it not mete that we invite these foreign tribes to dwell among us? Let us bid them welcome. Let our young men and maidens learn to speak their tongue that when they come to us they can hear every man in his own tongue. So thus it came to pass that the band became a conclave, known as Der Deutsche Vereinf' They sent out mighty runners of men of great valor searching the highways and byways to find a leader who would be able to teach them the tongue and customs of the incoming tribe, known as Germans. She must have the knowledge of King Solomon. She must have the grace of Pavlowa that she may teach the dances. She must have the voice of Schumann-Heink that she may teach their songs and music. And they traveled far and wide until they came to the house of one known as Denny whose daughter had a countenance like unto the rising sun, whose feet were swift to do and light to dance, and whose knowledge made Solomon look like thirty centsg she was comely to look upon and always a lady. And much has been the success and profit of her teaching. ll
