Editor Jemmie Potts Freshman Editor Ezel Gladney Art Editor M. Henderson Joke Editor Clara Nolen Faculty Adivser J. B. Borner Faculty Adviser Editorial 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 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 H. H. Hallum 10.00 G. IT. Robinson 10.00 D. H. Morgan 10.00 H. H. Tisinger . . . 10.00 I. S. Ingrain 10.00 J.

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 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. THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927 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. A. & M.Band. 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. THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927 "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. A 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. A 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." Lucile Jackson '28. A 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. A 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. THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927 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. H/D. A 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. R. M.

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. A 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- ter, who once starred at Carrollton High, and Whitley M'orris, all back- field men. The line candidates are Jim and Richard Hamrick, Mandeville Hen- derson, Ray Stallings, Claude Zach- ery, C. F. Williamson, Taft Swaggert, Nolan Brand, Hammond, Randolph, Turner, Steed and others. Around 30 men have been reporting to practice daily since school began. Enthusiasm both at the school and in town is increasing steadily as the season progresses. Some of the teams already sche- duled are Bowdon College, LaGrange. Rome Hi, Marist College,, and 7th District A. & M. Probably the Ga. Freshmen or Oglethorpe Freshmen will be brought to Carrolton for a game on Thanksgiving day. J. C. Bonner. A 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 THE AGGIES OCTOBER, 1927 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.

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."
