What does it mean to be a senior?
Does it mean that we are better than
the under classmen? It most certain-
ly does not. Does it mean that we
should run the school for our benefit
and let the others go? It does not do
this either. It simply means that we
are in our last year in high school and
may perhaps know a little more about
the rules or customs of the school than
the students who are in the lower
grades. It should mean that we have
begun to have a different outlook on
life than we have had before.

Many of us will never go to college.

Instead of simply trying to let
everyone know we are in our last year
at school we should be trying to learn
a little more about the things we mean
to do in life instead of trying to make
the underclassmen do things just be-
cause we are older and outnumber
them we should be working for the
good of our school. Seniors let's get
down to real business and be real
students (instead of seniors). Let's
try to set the other classes a mark to
shoot at in the years to come. Let's
make this the greatest as well as the
largest senior class in the history of
the school !

A. & M. School Spirit

The A. & M. School opened its 21st
annual session with one of the largest
initial enrollments to date. The en-
rollment is approximately two hundred
students. The District is well repre-
sented in the student body. However,
there are more enrolled from Carroll
and Heard than any other county.
This growth is certainly encouraging
to the administration and student
body. The student body is one of the
best that we have ever had. Fewer
boys and girls have dropped out than
ever before. In this day of competi-
tion and opportunity it is very essen-
tial that every one have an education.
Boys and girls are understanding this
fact and they are preparing them-
selves for some work in life. The en-
vironment at the A. & M. is certainly
conducive to inspiration and encour-
agement. More than four hundred
have graduated from this institution.
Perhaps it will be interesting to note
just what they are doing. Below you
will find a list of vocations engaged in
by the Alumni :

Lawyers 3, Teachers 85, Merchants
5, Editors 2, Home makers 32, Minis-
ter, 1, Machinist 1, In College 40,
Farmers 60, Business 142, Salesmen
20, County Agents 3, Doctors 1,
Chemist 1, Nurses 3, Home Demon-
stration Agent 1.

The spirit of the A. & M. is sum-
med up in one word "WORK." That
is the attitude of all real A. & M.
students. A young fellow who is al-
ready a graduate of a great university
is painting this summer in order to
get money to pay his expenses in
further preparation of his life's work.
This student has been in college more
than six years and he has made an
honor record. His example illustrates
the attitude of the A. & M. students.
It is no wonder then that they suc-
ceed. What is to be our life work?
It was surprising at the opening of

THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927

school on registration day just how-
few were able to answer the question,
"What are you planning to do in
life?" You will hnd similar life prob-
lems here in this school. A student's
attitude toward the work and toward
student activities gives a good idea of
just how well a student will succeed.

There are such organizations, as
the Debating Societies, Athletic Asso-
ciation, Glee Club, Literary Societies
and other similar organizations that
need the support of the student body.
Students will get more from these or-
ganizations that they can possibly
give. Yet there are a few students in
school who must go home every week-
end, who never enter into the spirit
of these activities. Unfortunately
these students will get very little out
of their school life.

We forget what we learn in books,
but we do not forget personal con-
tacts and associations.

A. & M. Plans Gymnasium

Plans are under way for the build-
ing of a gymnasium on the A. & M.
campus which is to have a seating
capacity of several hundred and will
be equipped for the playing of basket-
ball and other indoor sports.

Much interest is being shown by the
students and alumni and it is hoped
that the building will be completed for
the 1928 basketball season.

The Executive Council composed of
Mr. I. S. Ingram, Mr. Clyde Chest-
nut, Mr. Harvey Tisinger, Mr. J. C.
Bonner and Mr. Howell Robinson, is
working through the Alumni Associa-
tion and are in charge of raising the
funds from the members. In addition
each student of the school has been
asked to raise one dollar. Construc-
tion will be started just as soon as the
first subscriptions are paid. The
Alumni and friends of the school who
have subscribed will hand their sub-

scriptions to Mr. J. C. Bonner Sec-
Treas. Alumni Athletic Council, Ge-
nola, Georgia.

Following is a list of those have al-
ready subscribed to the fund:

H. C. Chestnut $10.00

Agriculture

If a business of any kind is to pay
maximum returns on investment in
labor and equipment it must first be
on economic basis; second, it must be
operated efficiently. To do this defi-
nite objectives must be set up and
plans made to reach these obsjectives.
These objectives and plans of work
will formulate a program. The pro-
gram of work for the school farm is

THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927

now being formulated. Any farm is
operated or should be operated for
profit.

The A. & M. farm has also another
aim. In addition to profit it is a
laboratory. It is also a demonstartion.
To give its maximum amount of ser-
vice it must make a profit, it must
serve as a laboratory for giving prac-
tical experience in the best methods
of farm practices, to the students of
Agriculture; it must serve as a dem-
onstration of the best types of farming
to the public. These factors must be
kept in mind when building the pro-
gram.

A farm program should be so
formulated that all forces and opera-
tions will be a means of meeting the
objective. One of the ills of farming
is the lack of a well planned and defi-
nite program. The program should
be formulated with the idea of per-
manence and not the tear down and
starting over plan. The program
should include the plans for doing por-
tions of operations with the view,
building on year after year. The pro-
gram of the farm work will be made
to fit the needs shown by summary of
the farm. These plans are being made
to carry on unfinished developments,
revise old ones and attempt new ones.
The farm survey reveals the following.

i. Terraces need rebuilding.

2. Fences in need of repair and in-
sufficient to meet new demands for
pasture.

3. Farm equipment in need of
repair from last season's use.

4. Not enough pasture of right
kind to meet growing demand.

5. Insufficient supply of some
feeds.

6. Insufficient number of dairy cat-
tle to supply needs of farm.

From the above survey the follow-
ing objectives have been set up :

1. Reterrace all fields and concen-
trate on soil building.

2. Replace old fence post with new
and increase fence area.

3. Repair all equipment in need of
repair.

4. Establish permanent pasture.

5. Increase size of dairy herd.

6. Improve quality of dairy cattle
and practice individual records and
testing.

7. Produce all feeds used on farm.

8. Have abundant supply of vege-
tables on farm the year round.

9. Produce farm meat supply.

The above are the general objec-
tives set up for attainment. It can
readily be seen that these cannot be
met within a short time. But by keep-
ing them constantly in mind we can
direct all forces and efforts toward
their attaiment and continue from year
to year. A plan of working for at-
taining these objectives will be ar-
ranged. The accomplishments will
appear in this paper from time to time.

A. & M. Opens With

Good Attendance

The 4th District A. & M. School
had its formal opening Monday,
August the 29th, at eleven o'clock.
The devotional exercises were con-
ducted by Rev. E. L. Barber of the
Presbyterian church. Mr. Barber
gave a splendid address to the patrons
and the student body. After the ad-
dress the members of the faculty were
intoroduced to the patrons and stu-
dent body. After the presentation.
Principal I. S. Ingram talked to the
students about the A. & M. School
and its work. The initial registration
shows that the enrollment is the larg-
est in the history of the present ad-
ministration, more than one hundred
and eighty students have registered.
Most of the counties of the district
are well represented.

A. & M. Band

Well, here we are again. This is
not the first time we've been in public
view, though, because, you've heard
us on the football held, over the radio,
in many entertainments and we're
planning many more.

In case you do not know who "we"
are, I'll give the personnel, just to
help you remember. First, comes Mr.
Walker, our leader, conductor, in-
structor, everything; in fact, what the
orchestra hangs on. Mr. Walker cer-
tainly deserves a lot of credit for what
he is going to do for us.

Next, in line, comes the cornets
of which we have a goodly number.
There is Ernest Spradlin, Mandeville
Henderson, James Young, and Hugh
Smith.

Our saxaphones, too, are quite im-
portant. Bob Steed, Golsten Stevens
and Adelea Coats are going to have
perfect control over them soon.

Then our clarinets play a large and
loud part in the band. The following
are mastering the C scale : Wendall
Whitmire, Christine Martin, Annis
Barnes, and Clara Nolen.

Next comes "Speck" Neil, "Sallie"
Cole, and John Spinks with their al-
tos. Raymond Mjorgan, Willie H.
Walston, Harvey Dyer with their
trombones, Newman Rogers, with his
baritone, and Jacob Bishop with his
bass, and last, but not least, are our
drummers, Tom McGottkin,, Leon
Wright, and Bob Tisinger. They
realy do make most of the music.

Now, that you know who "we" are,
you may expect to see us come pop-
ping up again, when anything special
happens. We've entertained you be-
fore, and with a little practice we
will entertain you again. Don't you
want to bear us? And now space for-
bids us from saying anything more,
but Ave can always crowd on a little
"good-bye" for you.

Keeping A. & M. Athletic
Association Store

Keeping the Athletic Association's
store is very interesting sometimes and
sometimes it is not.

Some days it is very uncomfortable.
I go out in the morning and find that
I have not enough supplies to last me
until dinner. On one of these days the
first fellow that I see is Coach. From
the time he gets through with me until
night everyone from him on down to
"Old Lady" has expressed his opinion
of me. Most of the opinions are not
the kind to encourage a fellow either.

Some days however, I enjoy it very
much, especially when I have a lot of
most everything the girls and boys
want and they are all easily pleased.
That's fine then. Coach and everyone
else comes in looking pretty good.
Things look as if there might be a jit.:
t.e chance of my amounting to some-
thing after all.

E. Barnes, '28.

The A. & M. Glee Club

The A. & M. Glee Club was or-
ganized Sept. 10, 1927, and the offi-
cers were elected. There are Cecil
Jackson, President, Gerila Denney.
Secretary and Treasurer.

Any Tuesday or Friday night, if
vou will only open your windows end
"lend us your ears," you will hear
sweet notes of harmony floating from
the auditorium. Yes, it is the A. &
M. Glee Club. Ah! The music stills
me, it thrills me. It brings back fond
memories of the radio program given
by the Glee Club over WSB, last year

We are planning another program
for this year. Get your radio ready,
tune in on time, for it is going to be
the best program ever given over
WSB.

"An Old Tree"

In a western state, many years ago
a small acorn cracked and from it
grew a tiny plant.

Despite the fact that it was small it
was not discouraged. It grew rapidly.
Birds sang in its branches, and to it
life was happy.

Years passed. One by one the oth-
er trees fell and were forgotten. At
last the once small plant was the oldest
and largest tree in the forest. Indians
held meeting under its branches and
some times plotted against the whites.

Time passed on but the oak kept
standing. Finally whites gathered
around the tree instead of Indians.
Regardless of its age, the tree still en-
joyed the songs of the birds, and the
beauties of nature.

On a New Year's morning before
the tree was 367 years old, a very
strong wind, and fast moving clouds
seemed to tell that a storm was ap-
proaching. Something seemed to
speak to the huge oak as if to say,
"Come with me, come with me." The
wind blew. The thunder crashed.
The huge monarch of the forest sway-
ed with the wind and fell. Thus end-
ed the historic career of the oak.

J. Jackson, '28.

Dormitory Regulations

There seems to be a growing ten-
dency among the boys to disregard all
dormitory regulations. This tendency
should be checked by all means. The
dormitory should be regarded as our
home and we should treat it as such.
When we do not do this we lay our-
selves open to criticism by visitors and
in fact we lower our self respect by
this failure.

When we keep our rooms clean and
neat we feel much prouder of them
than we do when they are in "a mess'.
Keeping our rooms neatly does not

mean merely cleaning them up for in-
spection. It means that we should
strive to make them look as neat as
possible at all times.

When we run up and down the
halls, stamping our feet and making
as much noise as boys can make, then
we are not making the dormitory our
home. When we wrestle and box in
anybodys room we happen to be in
just because there happens to be no
special regulation against this, we are
not making the dormitory our home,
but are merely turning it into a sport
arena. Come on dormitory boys and
let's make the old building a better
place to live than it has ever been be-
fore.

The Gang Gets a Fright

"You know about the B. Y. P. U.
swimming party don't you Jane?''
Kate asked her friends as they walked
down the street arm in arm.

"Oh! yes I know about it, and I'll
be one among the many down at the
lake about 7 o'clock Friday night,"
was the reply.

Sure enough, Jane, as well as Kate,
was among the crowd of happy
youngsters when Friday night arriv-
ed. The weather was just right for
swimming at night and everyone
seemed to be having a grand time,
when one of the hoys said : 'Come on
all you fe lows, let's show the girls a
thing or two about swimming. I'll
race with any of you across the lake
and back."

"It's a go," came from another
boy, and thus contests of all kinds
were started. Two boys tried to see
which could stay under water the
longest ; two others tried diving.

So interesting and exciting were
these contests that no one saw Jane
swim away from the shore, and it was
a good while before she was missed.
Suddenly Kate screamed, "Oh look
way out yonder, that's Jane going un-

THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927

der! Some of you boys go get her
quick! Oh! do hurry she's already
under there she is ! ! Hurry ! Hurry 1
She's going for the second time Oh !
Oh! will those two boys reach her be-
fore she goes under again?"

Jane had gone under twice and had
nearly sunk the third time when the
two swiftest swimmers of the crowd
came in reach of her. As they grab-
bed for her she laughed and swam
with great speed toward the shore
where" the crowd was anxiously wait-
ing for her. She pulled ashore and
laughing said, "So sorry to have given
you all such a scare , but girls I just
had to show those boys that they
weren't the only ones who could do
stunts in the water."

Success

Success is built on character. With-
out a noble character, success with life
is uncertain.

The crown and glory of life is
character. It is the noblest possession
of man, constituting a rank in itself,
and an estate in the general good-will ;
dignifying every station, and exalting
every position in society. It exercises
a greater power than wealth, and se-
cures all the honor, without the
jealousies of fame. It carries with it
an influence which always tells ; for it
is the result of proved honor, recti-
tude, and consistency. Qualities
which, perhaps more than any other,
command the general confidence and
respect of mankind.

Truthfullness, integrity and good-
ness form the essence of manly char-
acter. He who possesses the quali-
ties, united with strength of purpose,
carries with him a power which is
irresistable. He is strong to do good,
strong to resist evil, and strong to
bear up under difficulty and mis-
fortune. It is in misfortune that
character of the upright man shines

forth with the greatest luster, and when
all else fails, he takes stand upon his
integrity and his courage.

The true character acts rightly,
whether in secret or in the sight of
men. That boy was well trained who,
when asked why he did not pocket
some pears, for nobody was there to
yee, replied, "yes there was ; I was
there to see myself, and I don't in-
tend ever to see myself do a dishonest
thing." Golden Stephens, '29.

Good Pullets Decide

Winter Egg Production

There is nothing more important
gained than to select matured pullets
that are healthiest and best developed
for egg production.

Getting pullets into proper laying
condition lies in correct feeding. Af-
ter they have begun production con-
tinue such feeding practices in a man-
ner that they will keep in healthy lay-
ing condition.

Many Hocks of pullets are changed
from a growing mash to a laying mash
too quickly, forcing the pullet to lay
before matured and physically able
to stand it. Small eggs with an early
let up in production are the results.

Where good egg production is ob-
tained from pullets sanitary conditions
are invariably present. It is not so dif-
ficult to get pullets into egg produc-
tion as it is to keep them there. It
can be seen therefore how important
^roi^er feeding and care becomes after
the pullet begins to lay as before she
started.

A proper feed places no restrictions
on the kind so long as it is clean and
nutritious, balancing in preparation
as to ingredients necessary for pro-
ducing eggs and keeping the hen's
body well nourished.

Home mixed feeds will give just as
good results, provided they are mixed
according to formula.

SOCIETIES

The Hawthorne

Ciceronian Party

On Saturday evening, Sept. 17, the
old members of the Hawthorne and
Ciceronian Literary Societies gave the
new members a party in the auditori-
um of the Main Building. We had
lots of fun, ask any one present; es-
pecially, Paul, because he was hypno-
tized, and the students who were ini-
tiatedthey won't ever forget that
night. Did you ever play ghost?
Poison? We did, and many others
which were just as enjoyable.

But the best part of the party was
held in the dining hall, where we
found tables decorated with the school
colors, all laden with cake and bowls
of punch. We ate and we drank, and
we drank and we ate. Yes the party
was grand, and the boys were allowed
to escort the girls to the dormitorv.
The WALK home was also GRAND.

A

The Ciceronian Society

The Ciceronian Society was found-
ed for the purpose of developing the
literary traits of the student. In the
past years much good has been ac-
complished by the organization and
every effort is being spent to make a
greater and bigger society.

The society is one of the greatest if
not the greatest student activity of the
school. It trains boys and girls for
public speaking, debating and teaches
them the art of mingling with people.
It is never known what is in a person
until he has been tested. Many times
a person possesses great literary tal-
ent, but it is never known because that
person has never had the opportunity
or the chance of making it known and
probably he never knows himself.

There is much more good to be got-
ten from the society than is thought
by many. The good to be derived de-
pends upon the effort and the work
that is put forth. Merely bringing up
a part in the program to a creditable
degree is not all that is essential in
the gain toward literary ends. There-
fore it is necessary to bring it up to a
standard or, in other words, all that
can be done should be done and hence
more good can be gotten from the ef-
forts expended.

In the past few years there has been
a loving cup to be competed for be-
tween the two societies. Unfortunate-
ly the Ciceronean Society has been un-
able to win the cup. But that does not
mean that it can't be won. The socie-
ty, as a whole is more determined to
win out this year than ever. There
seems to be more enthusiasm and more
society spirit than before. Plans are
being made for a greater year than
any in the history of the society. The
greatest thing that has happened to
the society so far is the wonderful in-
increase in membership! This year
there is more than twice as many
members than the society, had last
year. The advantage here is, that
there is more material to work from
than was possible last, year. Every-
one has it in him to "work and win",
so watch the Ciceronians climb.

The Hawthornes

The Hawthorne Literary Society
met in the auditorium the night of
August 29, 1927 and elected officers
for first quarter. For president, Ray
Stalling was elected and Elsie Strick-
land was elected secretary. A pro-
gram committee consisting of Bona
McLendon, Verdie Long, Elsie Strick-
land and Herman Marshall, was ap-
pointed by the president. After the
e 1 ection of officers talks were given
bv manv of the old members and a

THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927

tentative policy for the year arranged.
The Hawthornes have won the
Loving Cnp for three consecutive
years and are planning to retain it
for another year. Many new mem-
bers have joined the society since the
night set apart for them to join. There
has been no falling off in membership
this year and as many of the new
members were selected for a special
part in the society there is every rea-
son to believe that another winning
year is ahead. An interesting pro-
gram has been rendered every meeting
night and the attendance has averaged
much better than last year. All visi-
tors and students are always cordially
welcomed to this society. Everyone
should pull together for the greatest
year in the history of the society and

school.

"How to Make Mudpies"

I often watch my little neice and
nephew as they make mudpies in the
summer. Nothing seems to afford
them greater pleasure than this occu-
pation.

First of all, each must have a large
apron tied about the waist. While
Ruth is getting the dishes, spoons, and
other articles, Jack makes an oven.
This is generally composed of a box
and stones. When, the oven is finished,
he proceeds to open a store. The store
is arranged under a shady tree, a tiny
table forms the counter, and a small
chair is the seat of the storekeeper.

In the meantime, Ruth with a seri-
ous face begins the baking. She is
very careful about the amount of
water that she puts into her bowl of

THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927

earth. After the mud has been
thoroughly mixed, she puts a cupful
of stones, which she calls raisins, into
it. By this time, the most important
part of the work is reached. Jack, the
storekeeper, condescends to supervise
it. Together, they very carefully mold
the pies and cakes, decorating them,
by making holes in them with sticks.
The precious pies are then put into
the oven to bake. This wonderful
process generally takes about two min-
utes, during which time Ruth looks
into the oven at least a dozen times.

At last, the cakes are ready for sale.
This is usually the place where I am
of some importance, for I am the
customer. Of course, I have to de-
clare that the price is too high, but I
end by taking them anyway. Some-
time I make my purchases with real
pennies. On these occasions, the
youthful storekeepers desert their
own shop for a candy store around
the corner. Sara Burns '30.

SPORTS

The football team formerly opens
the 1927 season with LaGrange High
in LaGrange on September 30th.
Much interest is being shown in the
LaGrange game this year. Hereto-
fore the Aggies have met the La-
Grange team with a squad of green
players, most of them never having
played before. This year, however,
the team is composed of men who
have had some experience and a vic-
tory by a wide margin is expected by
optomistic fans.

Coach Luckey will no doubt de-
velope one of the strongest lines ever
to grace the A. & M. gridiron. His
line material being heavy and experi-
enced, with the exception of the center
and one end. The line will probably
average 180 pounds while the backs
are small, probably averaging 145
pounds.

Some of the most promising candi-
dates for the team are Hammett,
former quarter back at LaGrange,
Crowder, ex-Greenville star, Gladney,
an A. & M. varsity of last year, Car-

A Fishing Trip

About three years ago I went fish-
ing on the river, which was about
three miles below my home. While
walking along the river bank I heard
the splashing of water, and looked to
see what it was. Nothing was in sight
but I could , c ee the waves on the water.
I walked a little further down the riv-
er looking for a suitable place to fish.
Finally I reached a place where I could
fish by walking out over the water on
an old bent tree. I sat there for an
hour or more, getting a nibble now and
then. Jt was just when I raised up
to look for a better place to fish that T
heard the same splashing of water that
I had heard in the water not far above
the place where I was. I made the
second jump toward the bank before
looking back to see what it was that

I heard in the water. Standing on the
log about a foot from the bank, I,
looked back and saw an alligator about
seven feet long climbing out of the
water on a sand bed. While looking
and wondering at the huge animal, I
heard something like a bunch of pigs
rooting in a mud hole. Looking
around to my left I saw three small
alligators dragging themselves out of
the river on a small island out a little

way from the bank. I watched the
animals until it was almost dark. For-
getting that I was on the log I made
a step into the river. Thinking of the
water animals I made haste to get out,
and when I was on land I looked back
to see if the alligator's were still on
the sand, finding that they had gone
back into the water, I went home and
told my adventure.

Dear Bessie Aggies:

A friend and I would like to know
how we can keep our A. & M. friends
from writing the same kind of poetry
and the same letters to each of us. It
hurts us to feel that they should have
to copy from one another in order to
write to us

Anxiously,

Elsie and Verdie.

AN A. & M. MAIDEN'S PRAYER

Dear Lord, I ask nothing for my-
self, only please give mother a son-in-
law.

The Freshie stood on the burning

deck,
As far as we are able to learn
She's standing there in safety yet
For she's far too green to burn.

me."

Polly: "It should; you murdered it."

Johnie Heath : "Have I any mail ?"
Miss Barr: "What's your name?"
Johnie: 'You'll find it on the enve-
lope."

Bishop: I have a cold in my head.
Brock: I'm glad you have some-
thing in it.

Dumb-bell : "How old are you."
Bar ditto. "Twenty."
L). B. : 'Well, I should have been
twenty-two, but I was sick two years."
