eoffw THE AGGIES, NINETEEN TWENTYfNINE eeibeir a no as at It was with some determination that we approached the Final or Senior scene in September, 1928 with a larger cast of members than ever. There were sixty nine C693 Seniors enrolled. Upon our work in this scene would depend the achievement of the much to-be-desired happy ending. Our text books were much more difficult than any thing we had so far experienced. Wfe buckled down to the task and soon had the sce.ie going along smoothly. VVe smiled at times when we thought how utterly impossible this would have been for use though years before when we tabkled the Freshman scene. VVe now realized how those three years had developed our abilities and prepared us to handle this big, hnal, Senior year. VVe learned that when two lines intersect the vertical angles are equal, and that the League of Notions caused the Wforld VVar. The Christmas interval this time seemed to pass more quickly than ever before. Our studies were mixed with enjoyment such as, picture show parties, Weiner roasts, Georgia Day llan- quet, Alumni llanqeut, The Operetta, Bits of Blarney and the Senior play, Qh! Kay will be remembered as great successes of our Senior year. The hlunior- Senior party will ever bring happy memories of deal old A. 81 M. The com- mencement address by lXlr. Roosevelt, governor of New York will be one of our most educational enjoyments. Our class has climbed to its greatest and our members have carried off honors in Athletics, Declamation, Recitation, Music and other Literary branches. But we would not have been able to accomplish these things without the help of our faculty, All of our teachers have labored so faithfully for us and we love them and appreciate what they have done for us. The grand final of the whole four scene, graduation is here. That glorious ending is assured now and there remains only the commencement scene itself and that will soon transpire. So the Cenario ends. A happy ending for a happy jolly group, the class of IQZQ. . i,....1. - Who's Who in Senior Class VVilbur Rowe-Most Athletic, Lucile Friddell-Daintiest.

3 gggg WW- a on New K time aaa rne Aooiias, Nineteen TWENTY-NINE an rg Q e a e es ME? The Class of 1929: A Four Part Scenario The class of 1929 has just finished producing, with a fine cast consisting of all our members, the most thrilling and most vivid drama they have so far known. lt was produced in four parts. From the beginning of the first part up to the end of the fourth it was truly dramatic and fortunately for us, the production has terminated in a happy ending, As no motion pictures were taken of the various scenes, I will try to give you, as vividly as I can, the continuity of the scenario, filling in here and there such details as may add to your enjoyment of the high sports of the history. The cast assembled one September morning' in 1925, Wre were taking the part of Freshmen in that scene, and 1 must confess we were rather green the new work, we began to learn actors. However after adjusting ouselves to our lines pretty well and act our parts well enough to satisfy our stage director Mr. Ingram, We seemed to be the sport of us Freshies. Wie longed for the time to the upper classmen as they called come when we too could initiate freshmen, and more than ever when most of the class got stuck for chewing gum, After the Christmas holidays we found our work harder than ever as it was absolutely essential in order to lay the ground work for the scene that was to follow, Vie were almost breathless, I can tell you, when the time came for intermission in May. ' ln September, IQ26, we assembled again, ready to enact the Sophomore scene with new members added to our cast. By that time the Faculty no longer terrified us, for we had come to learn that although stern of visage, they were kind and warm of heart-we found them to be sheep in wolf's clothing, if you get what we mean: The-'Sophomore scene we found to be pretty hard, The lines we had used in the previous scenes wouldn't do at all. livery one of us had to learn new parts and master new specialities, lfappily, the Sophomore scene also had a Christmas and quarterly holiday selves full fledged members of A, 81 M, High School, VV'e enjoyed the Societies needed the many new ones that entered to help play our parts, Wfe were seasoned and Socials on Saturday night, :Xnd almost before we knew it Nay had come once more and the happy Sophomore scene was to end. The state director told us we might report again in September for the third or junior scene, and this we did with a still larger cast of characters for we needed the many new ones that entered to help play ourt parts, W'e were seasoned players now with two years experience as well as a jolly group of juniors, Our text books from which we were to learn our parts were much harder now and we were expected to be able by this time to work out some of our problems and we were fast developing the ability to think for ourselves. NVe enjoyed picture show parties such as The Covered W'agon, Old fron Sides, and others. Un April 26, 1927 the juniors entertained the Seniors with a picnic at Hayes Mill, Never did a cast of characters work harder to make their production a success, There were several girls who couldn't stick with us so they married, They thought they would like matrimony best, but the boys were faithful and remained with the cast. May found us still in a whirl of work and eager for the respite of intermission.
