Christmas Thoughts

Christmas sets our thoughts to
roaming. Memory is active, happy
are the hours, joyous are the days.
The land of memory brings back
friends and neighbors to the old home
where dear mother sat and sang, rock-
ed the cradle whose Httle occupant
has long since ascended the stairway
of the skies.

Joy to some, sorrow to others. Yet
laughter and weeping lie side by side,

Mr. and Mrs. Santa ! Precious mem-
ory.

Nothing we can say is strong enough
good, fine, dear enough for them. For
us they toiled, dreamed giving time,
thought and love to us.

Santa is permanently on the heart
of childhood. Santa is childhood's right
hand friend. Lovely and lovable, he
is hero of the centuries.

Unleashed from toyland's great
empire, he begins his mighty march
and to get everywhere and be every-
where he must work early, late, fast,
hard and long.

Old Santa who is good natured
goodlooking, well beloved, big heart-
ed, oldfashioned, world-famous, has no
rivals. He rules and sway in a un-
disputed way. He is a loyal friend of
youth. He paints pictures on child-
hood's horizon embroiders it with
gold and tints it with silver and over-
shadows it with love.

Christmas Spirit

Once more the year has rolled
around to that wonderful Christmas
time. A season of joy, goodwill and
happiness. The world seems bursting
with joy and excitement. Everyone's
home is decorated with holly and
mistletoe, all of which are shouting:
"A merry Christmas !" Wt shall once
more gather with our parents and
friends and have an exciting time tell-
ing all we've done and all which has
happened since we last saw them.
Then dawns the day of giving when we
all should do our best to make every-
one happy. Some cannot afford gifts,
but did it ever occur to you that there
are many things that you can give that
don't cost a cent. One little smile may
cheer many people while some kind
deed or act may make other hearts light
and gay. Then too we could give our
parents the best Christmas gift of all
by taking home an extra good report
card. This would no doubt make
them happier than any other present.
Lastly comes Xew Year. Let's all
make a resolution to study harder and
make up those bad marks for it's nev-
er too late to give up hope.

Let's go all together now and say,
"A merry Christmas and a happy Xew
Year," and don't forget to start the
New Year off* just right.

First Christmas Observance

The observance of Christmas began
about the Fourth century. It became
a general custom only in the Thir-
teenth centurv.

' A

Christmas and You

You should regard Christmas as an
occasion for clearing your heart of
all grudges for forgiving all off'enses
and all enemies. It is a good time to
forget and to forgive, a good time to
forget self and think of others.

Christmas Seals

The Christmas Seal, Hke many
Americans, can trace its ancestry back
to Denmark. The Christmas Seal idea
was first thought of by Elinar Holboell
a postal clerk of Denmark. Air. Hol-
boell was busily engaged in sorting
mail. Every letter and package bore
a government stamp. The stamps
were inexpensive and every purchaser
willingly paid to have his message car-
ried through the mails. The ideal oc-
curred to Holboell that every 1-etter
and package could carry another
stamp, a stamp which would be sold
for the benefit of a hospital for tuber-
culosis children. When the next
Christmas' eve came the Danish mail
W3.S helping start a health message
w^hich from that time, has continued
to travel through all the postoffices of
the land at Christmas time.

In 1907 Jacob Riis, and American,
wrote a story about the Christmas
Seal in The Outlook. Miss Emily P.
Bissell, a Red Cross worker of Wil-
mington, Delaware, read this article.
Miss Ijissell was interested in a Tuber-
culosis sanitarium and knew it was
often struggling for support. Miss
Bissell adopted the Danish idea and
that year raised $3 000. In 1908 the
American Red Cross carried on the
enterprise and in 19 10 they made ar-
rangements with the National Tuber-
culosis Association to manag-e the sale.
From 1907 to 1925 over $36,000,000
have been raised by seals sold for one
cent each. Since 19 19 the stamps have
been sold exclusively by the National
Tuberculosis Association. The seal
bears the emblem of the Association,
the double-barred cross. In 1926 the
sale of stamps was $4,937,376.

Each year the making and market-
ing of the Christmas Seal has become
a more tremendous undertaking. For
the 1926 sale it was necessary to print
1,500,000 000 seals. Then, too, it was
necessary to get the proper design and

correct colors for the Christmas seals.
1 he seals must be perforated, cut, sort-
ed, packed and finally placed in cases
for shipment as early as July and
August in order to reach the state in
time for the sale in December.

These seals are sold for one cent
each. They have made possible or-
ganized campaign against tuberculosis.
With the money from these seals hun-
dreds of sanitariums have been built
for the people who have the disease
where children who have been expos-
ed to the disease may build up their
bodies to resist the attack, for nurses
to care for the patients who are ill in
their own homes and clinics where ex-
aminations are freely given.

Every one of us should do our part
in helping- this world-wide drive
against tuberculosis. Let us do our
part either by buying or selling seals.

The Origin of The

Christmas Tree

Long ago, before the time of the
Christian era, in December and Janu-
ary the people celebrated the feast of
the winter solstice. A huge log,
known as the Yule log, was the back
of a fire which represented the heat
and light of the sun. As the only
trees that kept their foliage were the
evergreens, they were used for deco-
rations in the banqueting hall. Where
the houses became smaller, the people
could not have a Yule log, because the
fireplaces were not large enough so
they omitted that part and used* the
greens, but instead of just branches
they used small trees. So in our cus-
tom of today we have the reflection of
our heathen ancestors. The holly,
mistletoe and Christmas tree represent
the return of the sun and the green of
the trees, while the decorations which
we put on the tree represent the fruit.

Christmas In

The Apartment

Jeanette Kirby hurriedly finished
dressing and proceeded to tap on the
bathroom door to inform her husband,
Edwin Kirby, that if he didn't hurry
they would be late for the Christmas
party. Edwin did not want to go, but
Janette had insisted and he had con-
sented.

In the other half of the house, dear
little Mrs. Whitley, gowned in a
quaint old dress of other days, paced
the floor. A modest little bonnet
topped her silver locks. The Union
Church had promised to call for her by
motor to carry her to their annual
Christmas party and she was very
happy as the result.

Thus it was when the clock sound-
ed the hour of eight, tears flooded the
eyes of both women one because she
had been forgotten, the other because
her husband wouldn't hurry. Both
women had opened the front doors of
their apartments and had stepped out
upon the porch.

A beautiful snow had begun to cov-
er the ground and Jeanette knew Ed-
win hated tramping through a snow-
storm, while she, herself, loved it.
Mrs. Whitley concluded that the
young folks of the Union Church had
decided that she should not venture
out into the snowstorm. Neither wo-
man noticed the other one until a low
sob escaped the lips of the elder one.

It was but a few moments until the
two women sobbed out their own self-
ish griefs and decided to have a
Christmas party all their own. Edwin
Kirby joined most heartily into their
plans and made numerous trips to the
basement for canned fruits and other
necessary articles, and also to the attic
where he found a folded patent Christ-
mas tree, some candles, red bells and a
huge sack of dry popcorn.

What a party ! The Kirbys forgot

their differences in making dear Mrs.
Whitley happy; in turn xVlrs. Whitley
loved the company of the young folks.

'T have never before in all my Hfe
had such a wonderful Christmas
party," declared Mrs. Whitley, as she
bade the happy child-like couple
"good-bye" a number of hours later.

''Some good must come out of every
misunderstanding" though both wo-
men as they closed their eyes in sleep
after such a happy Christmas eve.

Be It Ever So Humble

The burglar had entered the house
as quietly as possible, but his shoes
were not padded and they made some
noise.

He had just reached the door of the
bedroom when he heard someone mov-
ing in the bed as if about to get up,
and he paused.

The sound of a woman's voice
floated to his ears.

"If you don't take oft your shoes
when you come into this house," it
said, "there's going to be trouble, and
a v/hole lot of it. Here it's been rain-
nig for three hours, and you dare
tramp over my carpet with muddy
shoes on. Go downstairs and take
them ofT."

He went down stairs without a word,
but he didn't take his shoes oft. In-
stead, he went into the night again,
and the pal v/ho was waiting for him
saw a tear glisten in his eye.

"I can't rob this house," he said.
"It reminds me of home." Pitt Panth-
re.

Campus News

All the boys and girls are rather ex-
cited over the fact that Christmas
won't be long now. We leave for the
holidays December 21. Everyone is
planning a gay time.

We are all glad that Miss Barr,
after her recent operation is recover-
ing rapidly under the care of her
nurse. Miss Bessie Cline. Miss Barr
expects to resume her duties Janu-
ary 2nd.

Three cheers for our orchestra! It
is making rapid progress towards suc-
cess.

Mr. and Mrs. I. S. Ingram and
Ann, spent Friday in Atlanta.

Mrs. J. C. Luckey will spent Satur-
day in Atlanta Christmas shopping.

We thoroughly understand now why
every boy and girl is ready for break-
fast at the proper time why fresh
meat, of course.

Mr. Ingram will attend a committee
meeting at Newnan December 15th,
in the interest of the school.

Miss Clara Nolen spent the week-
end in Marietta.

There is a new addition to the
school family Mr. and Airs. Hewey
have a son.

Mr. and Mrs. Luckey, Mr. Maddox,
Mr. Bonner, Mr. Harman and a num-
ber of pupils attended the football
game on December 8th in Atlanta.

Miss Julia Briscoe spent the week-
end in Atlanta with friends.

Mr. Hal-man and Avis Barr went
to Atlanta Tuesday afternoon. Miss
Cline came back with them for a short
visit in Carrollton.

Just Here and There

School closes Friday December 21.

School opens Wednesday January
third.

The Genola community has missed
Miss Barr. Reports are favorable and
she will return to her place at an
early date.

Mrs. Fincher the efficient matron
gives up her work to go into the
hotel business. The school wishes
her well in this chosen field.

In this issue will be found an al-
most complete list of the fall enroll-
ment. We have enrolled to date more
than two hundred and ten. The school
has been criticized for having classes
whose number exceeded thirty. This
will be adjusted when the school gets
its needed appropriation.

Articles have appeared from time
to time concerning the splendid crop
on the farm. They have not been ex-
aggerated. Briefly, the school has
been furnished with potatoes, vegeta-
bles and other edibles from the truck
farm. More than twenty four, five
hundred pound bales of cotton were
produced. The corn will exceed four
hundred bushels. Farm life is de-
sirous under such profitable conditions.

The school has tried to follow the
following aims in its efforts :

The seven objectives of Education.

Health : Train for health habits at-
titudes and ideals.

Home : Emphasize worthy home
membership.

Learning: Magnify the tools, tech-
nics and spirit of learning.

Citizenship: Practice faithful citizen-
ship.

Vocation: Develop vocational and
economic eff'ectiveness.

Leisure : Give experience in the
wise use of leisure.

Character: Build ethical character

THE AGGIES DECEMBER, 1928

as the supreme value of education and
life.

As we near the close of the first
term, we note many mistakes. But we
have never had a finer, more cooper-
ative body of teachers. The parents
should have no cause for fear that
their children are not in capable
hands.

The student body as a whole, has
been the best that we have had. As
a Christmas present to their parents,
they are asked to present them with
good grades and a record of good
conduct. Many will not disappoint
their parents.

Why should there be a romance in
a wood fire crackling in a grate ; in
smoke drifting up a chimney ; in the
wind zooming about the eaves like
some old woman crooning to a child ;
in the warmth within and the cold
without ; and why should a peaceful
setting of this kind carry one's
thoughts around the world in quest of
friends and loved ones? Every human
being has something of God Almighty
in his breast, and at Christmas time it
glows like eternal fire. He plays with
his memories and finds them sweet.
And in his search for happiness, al-
most invariably his mind travels to
the peace and quiet of the country,
and back to older times and simplier
ways. (Selected.)

A

Past and Future

We will not deplore them, the days

that are past.
The gloom of misfortune is over them

cast
They are lengthened by sorrow and

sullied by care.
Their griefs were too many, their

joys were too rare ;
Yet, now that their shadows are on

us no more,
Let us welcome the prospect that

brightens before.

Reveals Scerets

Of ''Mystery Ship"

Article in American Boy Tells Hov, High
School Boys Broke World's Record

The secerets of the 'mystery ship"
that won the first National Contest of
the Airplane Aiodel League of Ameri-
ca at Detroit last June are no longer
secrets. Complete specifications of the
model are given in the December issue
of The American Boy Magazine.

Model airplanes are small crafts
made of balsam wood, which weighs
only half as much as cork, bamboo
and Japanese Imperial tissue paper.
They are so light that their rubber
motors furnish enough power to keep
them in the air almost six minutes.
L nder the rules of the National Aero-
nautic Association, indoor model
ships may have a fuselage length of no
more than 15 inches.

High school students should be es-
pecially interested in the champion-
ship model, for it combines the idea of
tvv'o Detroit high school boys. Their
improvements more than doubled the
endurance time of indoor models, and
resulted in the setting of a new world's
indoor record, 353.6 seconds.

Ernest McCoy, 19 years old, con-
tributed the reverse-cambered stabiliz-
er that made possible the use of a
cambered wing with its greater lifting
powr. Aram Abgarian_ 15 yars old.
followed McCoy's lead in designing
the wing and stabilizer of his world's
record model, and added a discovery of
his own a built-up fuselage that per-
mitted more turns on the rubber motor
and added power to his craft.

P)Oth McCo}^ and Abgarian are
members of the Airplane Alodel
League of America, the national or-
ganization of air-minded boys sponsor-
ed by The American Boy. The League
now has more than 200.000 members.
Any boy or girl may join the A.]\LL.

Opportunity For Boys

Interested in Aeronautics

Boys or teachers who are interested
in aeronautics are eligible to enroll,
without charge, in the Airplane Model
League of America, an organization
headed by Commander Richard E.
Byrd which charges no fees or dues of
any kind, yet through the backing of
leaders in aviation is able to offer
many free services to its members.

To join, send your name and ad-
dress to Merrill Hamburg, Secretary,
Airplane Model League of America
American Boy Building, Second,
Blvd. at LaFayette, Detroit, Mich., to-
gether with a two-cent stamp to bring
back the reply. A membership card
and button, and information about the
League's services, will come back
promptly.

A chief activity of the League is the
disseminating of information about
model airplanes. These tiny craft,
constructed chiefly of Japanese Im-
perial Tissue and balsam wood, and
powered with twisted rubber motors,
have flown as far as six miles. Wil-
liam B. Stout, head of the airplane di-
vision of the Ford Motor Company
and League officer, says the elemen-
tary principles of aeronautics can be
learned as effectively through the
building and flying of model airplanes
as in a colleg'e engineering course.
Most of the great flyers of today be-
gan with models. American Boy.

A Boys Idea of Geese

Little boys with vivid imaginations
occasionally unreel some good stuff
in analyzing the different animals,
both wild and domestic. A little fel-
low outdid himself on the following
essay :

"Geese is a low heavy bird which
is mostly meet and feathers. His
head sits on one side and he sits on
the other. Geese can't sing much on
account of the dampness of the mois-
ture. He ain't got no inbetween-his-
toes and he's got a little balloon in his
stummick to keep him from sinking
Some geese when they gets big has
curls in their tails and is called gand-
ers. Ganders don't haft* to sit and
hatch. They just eat and loaf and go
swimming. If I was a geese I had
rather be a gander.

Ciceronian Society

"It won't be long now_ for the sim-
ple reason that it can't be !" Half the
term has swiftly flown ; hear the roll
call at the referee's whistle ; 4 months
to go! Signals. Penmanship 15, Ready-
writing 15, Declamation 15, Recitation
15, Music 15, Debating 25, Average
attendance 25, highest spelling grade
15 highest academic work 10! With
Earle Cox as Captain and the Ciceron-
ians as the team we'll hold that line
and keep our eye on the goal ! We
made the grand touchdown last year
winning by a score of 155 to 50! We
are still going to have that silver trophy
this time next year, if we have to
strain all nerves and vitality to do so!
No matter how, when or where, just
watch us slide across the field and
bring it home !

Thus far the work as a whole is
highly commendable and we greatly
appreciate the interest and enthusiasm
which has been shown by the new Ci-
ceronians. We are quite sure that
they will never regret this decision in
joining our society.

Golson Stephens was our first pres-
ident and to him we owe the begin-
ning of this year's work. Earl Cox,
who is at prsent the president, puts his
best foot forward and is making a
president to be proud of. In fact he
is keeping up interest and working
hard for the cup. However, these two
boys can't do everything by themselves,
for as Stanton says :

"It ain't the individual
Nor the army as a whole^

But the ever-lasting team-work
Of every blooming soul."

This should be kept in mind when
we make our New Year's Resolutions
then I'm sure that there'll be no

chances of our losing, and in May, we'll
have Purple and Gold flying high !

Anyway the Ciceronian wish to
extend to every member of A AI. in-
cluding faculty, pupils and other
workers here, a "Merry Christmas and
a Happy Prosperous New Year!"

attend the meetings more, and bring
up our parts on the program better. So
wake up Hawthornes, and let us win
the cup this year.

Hawthornes Entertain

On Saturday evening, December i,
1928, the Hawthorne Literary Society
entertained the Ciceronian Literary
Society with a party in the auditorium

games which were enjoyed by all.

The best part of the party was at
the last when delicious refreshments
were served, consisting of bananas,
vanilla wafers, cheese snax ; marsh-
mallows and cocoa. It was a glorious
evening and every one seemed to en-
joy the party very much.

Wiener Roast For

Football Team

Of unusual interest during the late
fall was a wiener rost given by the
school in honor of the football squad
Each member of the team and all who
tried out for it regularly were pres-
ent, most of them bringing a girl.
Besides these, the faculty and sever-
al of the school alumni were present.

After the feast_ quite interesting-
talks were made by several of the
alumni : Mr. Ingram, Mr. Bonner,
Captain Cox and Coach Luckey, who
laid great stress on the value of play-
ers who begin football as freshmen.
This keeps good material on hand and
is an aid to having a good team every
year.

Next years prospects were freely
discussed around the camp fires and
a good team seems to be around the
corner for next season. Amos Chamb-
ers was the unanimous ichoice for
Captain as was Toby Miller for al-
ternate.

A grand and glorious time was had
by all and the team was together prob-
ably for the last time.

The following football players will
be given sweaters and letters :

Melven Richardson, Frank Harbin,
Tom Gladney, J. T. Smith, Amos
Chambers, Earl Cox, Robt. Stallings,
Steve Worthy, Max Liggin, Jim Ham-
brick, Taft Swaygert, R. V. Thomp-
son, Virgil Thompson, Tom Miller,

The Last of the Pigskin

With the Bowdon game, the foot-
ball season closed with quite an im-
pressive record. Six games were won
and three lost. Two of the games lost
were with teams of a higher rating
than a High School which leaves us a

single defeat to near our claim to the
State Championship.
Points scored totaled i6i against
a 59 for the opposition, which speaks
well for the coaching staff. Quite a
few members of the squad are expect-
ing to be back again next year to help
Coach's fighting Aggies go after the
state championship. Among those ex-
pected back are Wright, Chambers,
(Captain); Miller, (Alternate),

Horsy Cox, Russell, , Powers, Har-
bin, Meigs, Brock, Young, Cotton,
Rov/e, Mullins and Red Holt.

Many of the boys leaving us intend
to keep up the old light in Colleges.
A. & M. extends a hearty goodbye to
each of them and will be expecting a
good record from them whether its
college, business or in whatever they
choose to do.

Basketball

The l)asket ball squad rapidly rounds
into shape. Some of the boys who
look pretty good just now are Wright,
McWaters, Cox, Taylor, Harbin,
Miller, Powers, Russell, Rowe, Car-
ter and several others.

All eyes are turned to the Fourth
District basketball tournament to be
staged in the early spring. With the
speedy material being developed a
successful season is before us.

Christmas Tree For A. & M.

The boys are mighty happy going
to work. What's up?

Notice the axes. The boys are going-
after a Christmas tree. No wonder
they are all smiles.

When and wdiere is the tree to be?

Oh, next Thursday night, Decem-
1)er 20, at the dining hall. Are you
coming?

Am I invited ?

Why, yes. All A. & M. pupils are
invited. Old Santa is going to be
there with a present for all. Don't
miss it.

A Motto For You

Is life a fret and tangle,
Has every thing gone wrong?
Are friends a bit disloyal
And enemies too strong?

Is there no bright side showing?
Then as a sage has said.
''Polish up the dark side,
And look at that instead !"

The darkest plank of oak will show
Of times the finest grain ;
The roughest rock is prone to yield
A gleaming golden vein;

Don't rail at fate, declaring that
No brightness shows ahead
"PoHsh the dark side
And look at that instead !"

If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth,
Place on your hand a Turquoise blue
Success will bless you if you do.
A

Farming

Farming is as old as the world and
as new as the day. From the very
earliest of history people have been til-
ling the soil Agriculture has been
prominent. Today in an age of in-
dustry and manufactory, farming is
still more prominent than ever. In
fact, it is the foundation on which in-
dustrialism is built.

Farming is desirable from three
main standpoints ; first, it is healthful ;
second, it is a broad field ; third _ it is
profitable.

Where are the people with the long-
est lives? On the farm. Where are
the men who are as strong as a whale ?
On the farm. Well deserving of pity
is the boy, man or woman who never
has the privelege of seeing the sun rise
and spreads its magnificant glow over
the fields, the green meadows and the
deep forest. No more beautiful pic-
ture has been painted by any artist

than that of the rising sun. To live
out under the sun all day, to be ac-
quainted with all the winrls and
breezes ; to know all the trees, flowers,
birds and animals by name, is life it
means health.

Where do you find a man with a
])roader field than that of the farm-
er? In fact, he is a business man, a
mechanic, a salesman, a veternarian, a
carpenter, an agriculturist and a
laborer. Once the work is entered in-
to, it is attractive and alluring. The
changing conditions make it ever new.
Basing the statement on the stand-
ards of living in the city and in the
country, we find that financially the
man on the farm is better off. That is
enough to say in regard to finances.
Besides, in the game of life the mak-
ing of money is a secondary affair.
However the farm offers a great op-
portunity for money making along
with its many other advantages.

Looking at farming as a whole, giv-
ing each phase of it consideration,
where is to be found life more beau-
tiful?

THE AGGIES DECEMBER, 1928

JOKES

A

"Is Mr. Jones at home?" inquired
the caller. "Which one sir? There are
three brothers living here " said the
maid.

For a moment the caller looked puz-
zled ; then he had an idea.

"The one who has a sister living in
St. Louis," he explained.

Thompson : "Honestly, now, do you
girls like egotistical men as well as
the other kind?"

Christine. "What other kind?"

Mr. Lucky: "What is a circle?"
Hughlee Crook : "A circle is a round
straight line with a whole in the mid-
dle."

Miss Nolen to Mildred Baker:
"Give the definition of a mountain
range."

Mildred: "A mountain range is a
large cook stove."

Mr. Ingram (in an angry tone) :
'Who told you to put that picture in
this room?"

Kitchens : "Mrs. Ingram."
Mr. Ingram: "Pretty, isn't it?"

Mr. Bonner: "What is salt?"
Harbin: "It's the stuff that makes

potatoes taste bad when you don't put

any on them."

Mr. Maddox: "If there are any
absent whose names I have not read_
let them speak up at once.

Powers : "What is the cure for love
at first sight?"

Fuller: "Second sight."

Miss Nolen had found one boy who
was especially backward in writing
compositions. At last she had a brain
wave. She would have him write of a
baseball game. It seemed that she
was successful, for the paper was
handed in promptly. It read : "Rain
no erame."

Frank Harbin says that the only re-
quirements he is going to make when
choosing his ball and chain is that she
won't wake him up in the morning
when she goes to work.

"Peck: "What's an operetta?"

L. Puckett: "Don't be so dumb

it's a girl who works for the telephone

company."

Mr. Bonner: 'Can you give me an
example of wasted energy?"

Dot Barton : "Yes, sir telling a
hair-raising story to a bald-headed
man."

Robert Stallings : "Is it right to
punish a person for something he
didn't do?"

Mr. Ingram : "Certainly not. Why
do you ask?"

Robert: 'T didn't get my history
lesson."

Mr. Luckey: "I take pleasure in
giving you 79 in geometry."

"Toby" Miller: "Make it 100 and
thoroughly enjoy yourself."

The man who takes the "trouble to
look for trouble generally has no
trouble and then his trouble begins.
Moral Never trouble trouble 'till
trouble troubles you.

"What's a grapefruit?"
"It's a lemon that's been given a
chance and took advantage."

Swygert: "Don't you swear before

me

I"

Tom Gladney
ahead."

"Pardon me, go

"Words fail me !" said Steve
Worthy as he flunked his spelling ex-
amination.

Doctor : "Did you follow my advice
and drink hot water one hour before
breakfast?"

Dora Horsly: T did my best, but I
couldn't keep it up for more than ten
minutes, doctor."
