x . --' --fff as The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight T - H - - ex Class History lt was four years ago that we, a bunch of unruly boys and girls, with never a thought or a care of what the future had in store for us, entered Fourth Dis- trict A. X Xl. School. We little realized the hardships, and cared little for them. Our chief thought was, XYe're in high school now--nothing else mattersf' But gradually our unconcern vanished, and little by little the true meaning of what high school really meant manifested itself to us, and we were soon settled into the regular routine of high school existence. Our freshman year was filled with joys and sorrows alike. Wle had our fun with just enough misfortune and disappointment interspersed to make our jovs all the more enjoyable. And so it was that we passed our first year of hiirh school life. .Ns Sophomores. we entered the senior class room, and thinking that we were a much wiser body than we were the year before, we were into everything, and thus led our teachers and the Freshmen a hard life. Toward the end of the vear we enjoyed a weiner roast down on the campus. This ended our year as Sophomores and as a stronger body we took another step toward success. F- lu 1926-27 our class increased. ,Xs juniors we had the school spirit and grlwavs tried to do our best. On April 26, 1927 the juniors entertained the Seniors with a picnic at ltlayes Mill. Hur .lunior year truly seemed a lull before the storm of work to be done in the Senior year, The majority of the class passed their work, with only one or two left behind. ,Xs we have finished our last year of high school it has been the greatest of them all. There was an enrollment of seventy-seven. During this year we have learned manv things that l think should go down in this history for future reference, siich that no other class has learned. We have learned that Two Told Tales was written bv llawthorne, and that China was once located in South America. These are two ofthe manv things that we Seniors of '29 have learned. During the past year we have hal our fun as well as our work. Among the enjoyments that we have had, and some that we have enjoyed most are: the theater parties to see The Covered XYagon, Old lronsidesf' and Ben Hur. The celebration of Georgia Day with a banquet is also a very important date in our history. The ,lunior-Senior l'arty will ever bring happy memories of dear old A. 8: Xl. The Senior play. .Xdventnres of Grandpa will be remembered as the greatest success of our Senior year. XYC could not have made the year so eventful without help, so to the facultv we owe our heartiest thanks. They have been beacons of light along our roail to knowledge. and we hope that their labors will not have been in vain. ,Xs we enter this new world which serves as a huge melting pot, where the pure gold is separated from the dross, may we the class of '28 shine forth as pure gold, ever holding high the standards of the blue and red.
