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.

:E a ewan? THE AGGIES, NINETEEN TWENTYfNINE some The Planetary Telescope of 1929 Tnstead of each member of my family giving me an individual present on my birthday in 1939, all of my relatives pooled the money they would otherwise have spent for such gifts and bought me a beautiful, steam-line, single seater biplane and one of the new planetarv telescopes. To say that l was delighted would put it far too mildly indeed. T had been wishing and longing for these two things despairingly, with absolutely no hope of ever getting either-just as back in T929 the young people of those days wished for automobiles of their own. Even for IQ3Q the telescope was a marvelous invention, Wlitli it you could plainly see the weather Conditions 'on all the nearby planets, and by fitting on the end of the telescope a special localizing device, you could see any part of any planet in detail-including the people, the landscape, the buildings and even the interior of buildings if desired, for the device had x-ray powers at long distance, although not at close range. The telescope had been developed to meet the demand of the so-called holiday-Hiers, that is, people who spent their holidavn by going on Sight-seeing trips to other planets. After these pleasure seekers, upon their arrival at the selected spot on Mars or Yenus or Saturn, would find weather and other local conditions unfavorable, and so their excursion would be spoiled. They wanted some means of ascertaining conditions in advance ani the planetary telescope, with its localizing attachment, was the answer. T decided to try out my handsome new biplane on a little birthday trip to Mars. Adjusting my telescope and focusing it on Mars, T picked out a lovely spot alongside the banks of one of the Martian canals: It would, I felt, be an iceal place to spend a quiet afternoon. NVith the aid of the instructions give.i in the book which came with the plane, I set the biplane's directional indicator, so that the plane would land at the exact spot l wanted to reach on Mars. This done, I sat myself in the plane and turned on the atomic energizer-and away we flew. l know it seetns like bragging, but, truthfully. that lovely little plane was the smoothest riding air vehicle in which l have ever ridden-none of that bumpy, rock-the-boat sensation you so often get in these cheap, poorly-designel planes. l took along my new planetary telescope and had a most enjoyable time during the ride, looking at interesting scenes on the various planetsg it reminded me of my childhood days, when we used to watch the scenery from the windows of railroad trains! My stars, if a train made sixty miles an hour people calleil it a Hyer: l'd be afraid of being arrestegl for obstructing air traffic if l fiew my plane at such snails pace as that! My biplane made its splendid performance perfect by landing on Mars at the exact spot for which l had set the directional indicators before taking on from the earth-T don't think there was so much as a foot variation. l got out and sat down beside the Martian canal in the shade of some attractive but odd looking trees. At least. they resembled trees, although they werenot vegetation. but sonie curious formation like coral. Picking up my planetary telescope. T began to amuse myself by looking back at the earth. The Western Hemisphere warn turned my way, and the localizing device on the telescope picked up a scene in Brazil. lt was a coffee plantation, and despite the tropical climate, the work seemed to be going forward with noteworthy hustle and energy. Rather unsual. l thought, and wondered what the explanation was. Even as l ruminated l if-1 EQ is'
