The Aggies, Nineteen TwentyfEight 'Q gg' Class Prophecy I was cooking dinner in my home in the Philippines on April, 29, H138 when I received a cablegram from liourth Ilistrict A. X IXI. College, inviting me to attend the great reunion of the old graduates of '28, I immediately started getting really. I left my home that afternoon and ariiyeil at Savannah the next day. I then boarded the train and arrived in Carrollton early the next morning. As I didn't see any one at the station to take me out to the school, I took a street car. I could hardly realize that I was in Carrollton for the town had grown so since I was there IO years before. The street was paved all the way out to A. 8: INI. and many magnificent houses were along the street. I was astonished to find that A. th M. had grown so that it was almost a town within itself. The Gentry home had been turned into a faculty house and two new dormitories, a very large auditorium, and a new dining hall, had been erected, besides an athletic building and several barns. I looked around but could see no one that I knew so I decided to go into the Presidents home and inquire about a place to stay. Edmund Wforthy came to the door and I wondered if he were the butler, but was afraid to ask him, so after talking for a few minutes I asked him where the president was. He didn't seem to understand at first but in an instant there was a big grin on his face and he said that he was the president of A .Sz hl. I thought that he was playing a joke on me but decided to take his word for it. He then introduced me to his wife who was formerly IXIiss Ruth Dyer and told her to show me to my room. He said that I would learn about my classmates later. Being tired from my long trip I was pleased to be in a restful room. After resting a while I dressed for dinner. I heard the old waitress bell once again, It seemed more familiar than anything else. In a few minutes the bell rang again and a larffe crowd assembled in the new Dining Hall. I'0'azed around in amazement, 6 'O in for there were many familiar faces but I could not remember their names. Indeed, it seemed as if I were in a dream, After we had eaten a very delicious dinner, lfresident XYorthy announced that he Wanted each one to tell what he was doing and how life had served him since he left A. 81 IXI. These are the things I. learned a.bout each: The first one to rise was a tall, pretty, dignified woman. It was Ilill Nixon then in charge of the English Department at A. 8: AI. She gave a splendid talk about the graduates of '28 -Ioe Brown came next. He too was a handsome, dignified fellow, and was the most efficient mathematics teacher, Inez Copeland looked exactly as she always did. She was matron of the dining hall. Christine lNIartin was matron of the boys dormitory and all the boys liked her. Ilob Tisinger was foot-ball coach and he had developed some splendid teams. Ewell llarnes had the appearance of a wealthy man for he was overseer of the railroads in I-Ieard County. Mary I'at was a senior at A. X M. college. She had paid her way by washing table cloths. james Sewell seemed to be serious for once in his life. Ile had established a hospital for cats and dogs. Janie Maddox was the most efficient head nurse at this hospital. I hardly recognized her for her hair was perfectly straight.
