History of A, &l M,

The Fourth District Agricultural and Mechanical School is situated west
of Carrollton on the main Bankhead hig-hway- It was established for the
purpose of giving boys and girls an opportunity of getting an education best
suited to their induvidual needs, capacities, and interests. So naturally one expects
to find the curriulum li])eral and fifty per cent vocational.

As stated aljove, the school is co-educational and it is a secondary School of
excellent facilities. The school easily accomodates sixty girls and sixty boys
making a total of one hundred and twenty j^upils. The plant is well equipped
and has a valuation of two hundred thousand dollars.

The school has had three Principals, Professor J. H. Melson, who served con-
tinuously for thirteen years, I. S. Ingram, the present Principal, and Mrs. Ingram,
the wife'of the present Principal who served in the al)sence of Mr. Ingram, during
the year 1925-26. The school succeeded from its initial opening date. It has
amply justified the purpose of its establishment, and the dream of its founders has
been more than fulfilled.

It is interesting to note that four hundred have graduated from the school
and they are found in the various walks of life as follows. Lawyers 3, Teachers
85, Merchants 5, Editors 2, Home Makers 32, Minister i, Machinist i, in Col-
lege 40, Farmers 60, Business T42, Salesman 20, County Agents 3, Doctors i,
Chemist T, Nurse 3, Home Demonstration Agent i. Professor Melson makes the
interesting statement that the combined salaries of each graduation class following
the first year of their graduation has been more than the yearly appropriation
from the State.

The school remains oi)en jn-actically the entire year. More than two hundred
teachers enroll in the Summer School. Summer camps for (jirls" Clubs and
Women's Clubs are always held and they are all well attended. The institution
ranks as an A-grade accredited high school. The school oifers courses in Agricid-
ture. Domestic Science, Shop Drawing, Literary work. Business Courses, IVlusic
and Expression. In the academic work, Mathematics, Science and English are
the principal subjects stressed.

The faculty is well selected and each member is chosen for his particular
work in a chosen field. Care is taken l)y the administration to get away from
mass instruction. Effort is made to develop the individual. Such a policy has
brought success to the school.

Further evidence of the spirit of the school is seen in the present plans and
actions of the Alumni who are Ijuilding a gymnasium at a cost of three thousand
dollars. They hope to have this completed by Deccml)er ist 1928. This is in Hue
with other expansive programs which will assure ihe school greater usefulness
and influence.

Thus at the close of the 22nd year, the enrollment reaches 210. A [ore than
sixty seniors will graduate this year. Carroll and the adjoining counties have
number of the graduates who are bringing honor and blessings to these counties
through their service.

'^ The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight "^

Class History

It was four years ago that we, a launch of unruly boys and girls, with never
a thought or a care of what the future had in store for us, entered Fourth Dis-
trict A. & jM. School. We little realized the hardships, and cared little for them.
Our chief thought was, "We're in high school now nothing else matters." But
gradually our unconcern vanished, and little by little the true meaning of what
high school really meant manifested itself to us, and we were soon settled
into the regular routine of high school existence.

Our freshman year was filled with joys and sorrows alike. AVe had our
fun with just enough misfortune and disappointment interspersed to make our
joys all the more enjoyable. And so it was that we passed our first year of
high school life.

As Sophomores, we entered the senior class room, and thinking that we
were a much wiser body than we were the year before, we were into everything,
and thus led our teachers and the Freshmen a hard life. Toward the end of
the year we enjoyed a weiner roast down on the campus. This ended our year
as Sophomores and as a stronger body we took another step toward success.

In 1926-27 our class increased. As Juniors we had the school spirit and
always tried to do our best. On April 26, 1927 the Juniors entertained the
Seniors with' a picnic at Hayes Mill. Our Junior year truly seemed a lull before
the storm of work to be done in the Senior year. The majority of the class
passed their vv'ork, with only one or two left behind.

As we have finished our last year of high school it has been the greatest of
them all. There was an enrollment of seventy-seven. During this year we have
learned many things that I think should go down in this history for future
reference, such that no other class has learned. We have learned that "Two
Told Tales" was written bv Flawthorne, and that China was once located in
South America. These are two of the manv things that we Seniors of 'zH
have learned.

During the past year we have ba-l our fun as well as our work. Among
the enjoyments that we have had, and some that we have enjoyed most are: the
theater parties to see "The Covered Wagon," "Old Ironsides," and "Ben Hur."
The celebration of Georgia Day with a banquet is also a very important date
in our history. The Junior-Senior Tarty will ever bring happy memories of dear
old A. & M. The Senior play, "Adventines of (irandpa" will be remembered as the
greatest sitccess of our Senior year.

We could not have made the year so eventful without help, so to the facultv
we owe our heartiest thanks. They have been beacons of light along our road
to knowledge, and we hope that their labors will not have been in vain.

As we enter this new world which serves as a huge melting pot, where the
pure gold is separated from the dross, may we the class of '28 shine forth as
pure gold, ever holding high the standards of the blue and red.

Class Frophecy

I was cookinq- dinner in mv liome in the Philippines on April, 29, IQ38 when
T received a cablegram from Fourth District A. & M. Colleg-e, inviting me to
attend the great reunion of the old graduates of '28.

I immediately started getting ready. I left my home that afternoon and
arrived at Savannah the next day. I then boarded the train and arrived in
Carrolltou early the next morning. As I didn't see any one at the station to
take me out to the school, I took a street car.

I could hardlv realise that I was in Carrollton for the town had grown so since
I was there 10 years I)efore. The street was paved all the way out to A. & M.
and manv magnificent houses were along the street. I was astonished to find
that A. & AI. had grown so that it was almost a town within itself. The Gentry
home had been turned into a faculty house and two new dormitories, a very
large auditorium, and a new dining hall, had been erected, besides an athletic
building and several barns.

I looked around but could see no one that I knew so I decided to go into
the President's home and inquire about a place to stay. Edmund Worthy came
to the door and I wondered if he were the butler, l)ut was afraid to ask him, so
after talking for a few minutes I asked him where the president was. He didn't
seem to luiderstand at first but in an instant there was a big grin on his face
and he said that he was the president of A .& J\f. I thought that he was playing"
a joke on me but decided to take his word for it. He then introduced me to
his wife who was formerly Miss Ruth Dyer and told her to show me to my room.
He said that I would learn about my classmates later.

Being tired from my long trip I was pleased to be in a restful room. After
rey.ting" a while I dressed for dinner. I heard the old waitress bell once again. It
seemed more familiar than anything else. In a few minutes the l)ell rang again
and a large crowd assembled in the new Dining Plall. I -gazed around in amazement,
for there Vi^ere many familiar faces but i could not remember their names. Indeed,
it seemed as if I were in a dream.

After we had eaten a very delicious dinner. President Worthy announced that
he wanted each one to tell what he was doing and how life had served him
since he left A. & M. These are the things I learned about each :

The first one to rise was a tall, pretty, dignified woman. It was Bill Nixon
then in charge of the English Department at A. & M. She gave a splendid talk
about the gTaduates of '28.

Joe Brown came next. He too was a handsome, dignified fellow, and was
the most efficient mathematics teacher.

Inez Copeland looked exactly as she always did. She was matron of the
dining hall.

Christine Martin was matron of the boys dormitory and all the bovs liked her.

Boll Tisinger was foot-ball coach and he had developed some splendid teams.

Ewell Barnes had the appearance of a wealthy man for he was overseer of
the railroads in Heard County.

Mary Pat was a senior at A. & M. college. She had ])aid her way by
washing table cloths.

James Sewell seemed to be serious for once in his life. He had established
a hospital for cats and dogs.

Janie Maddox was the most efficient head nurse at this hospital. I
hardly recognized her for her hciir was perfectly straight.

"S? The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight "^

Fae Kent was a famous writer of books on home life.

Harvey Dyer, the most dignified president of our class, was running for
presidency of the United States. He was sure of getting the ofifice for all his
classmates had promised to use their influence for his good.

Cynthia Hammond was a woman in l)usiness. She was running a hot dog
stand just ofT the A. & M. campus.

Mary Jordan was a real estate dealer in Los iVngeles, California.

Farris Tatum was a great Evangelistic preacher. We began to think that
he was going to give us a sermon before he sat down.

Dora Cook was a famous actress. She still had that same sweet smile.

Carl Prince looked very young for he was head of an old bachelor's
apartment in Centralhatchee.

Newman Rogers said that he had given up all hopes of winning Dora's love
so he was living in this apartment.

Sybil \A'ilson and Paul Denny had decided that they didn't love each other
just the day before the wedding. So Paul was overseer of the convicts in Carrol!
County and Sybil, being a man hater, was touring the county lecturing against men.

Idarvey Heath had gotten a divorce from his wife and was thinking seriously
of marrying again.

Ray Stallings, the govenor of Georgia, made a very interesting address, ancl
his wife, Geneva Gladney, was very happy as the governess.

Hal Crowder said that he felt it an honor to be their chauffeur.

Joe Hannah had a small farm near Carrollton on which he grew onions for
the A. & M. school. All the pupils would like him better if he would grow
some things like apples and strawberries.

Verdie Long had reached the height of her ambition, for she had her M. R. S.
degree and was living in a pretty little house near A. & P. store.

Cecil Jackson was a professional pill roller and his wife, Clarabel Cole, was
];eddling them all over the counties of Heard and Carroll.

Just as I had expected, Leonard Driver was in a side show imitating a
monkey. We could tell that he was well up on the jt)l) and he said that those
who wished to please him had only to give him ]jeanuts.

Annis Barnes was indeed beautrful. She had gained much wealth and
distinction by permitting her picture to be put on a snuff l)ox for advertisement

Jim Flamrick had taken up his fathers jolj as jail keeper.

Pope McLeod had discovered a gold mine on his father's farm and was
living in perfect ease.

Ollie Bird Carter having despaired of ever getting a husl)and has ^eLI:le(l down
as a typical old maid.

Florine Chandler, the professional tt)e dancer, astonished us by giving us a
number.

Lorene Nicholson, a trained nurse, had married Dr. l\oy Sprued. Togei-her
they were doing much for humanity.

Tom Gladney had mastered the profession of dish washing and vvas mak.n,;
a great deal of money washing dishes at A. & M.

Jnia Lee .Vimon was rumiing a beauty i)arior in Carrollton.

Render Casweil was still taiK-ing and h.ui the record ol being the biggest
talker in the world.

Ilewlelt Russell was a progre.'.sive fannei". lie bad save. I nuich nuney by
being ihvilt)' and managing well.

/(ina Aicl.e.ulou was a gray haired, tired iodkiiig woman. She aro.'-e and said

"^ The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight "S?

that she was son-y she couldn't give as good a report as some of the others, but
she was trying to rear three robust Httle boys. Every one applauded and some
one said that that was a noble occupation.

W. M. Liggin was milking cows in a dairy near Miami, Florida.

Ora Williamson was clerk in the toy department in Fisher's.

Sollie Cole was street car conductor in New York.

Flerman Marshall was professor of science at Harvard.

Gerila Denny had formulated some kind of pill, that when taken would
enable a person to know his lessons without studying. These pills were very
popular at A. & M.

T. S. McLendon was working in a shoe string factory in Chicago.

Clara Harman was a well known fortune teller. .

Taft Swygert was Judge of the Superior Court in Washington, D. C.

W^e have all heard the saying, "Laugh and grow fat." Well, Lanere Thompson
had certainly done this.

jMandeville Henderson was making" a living as a trapper in Canada.

Oliver Hammond was a chicken peddler in Atlanta.

Frank Dennis was a great aviator who had broken the world's record bv
making a non-stop flight around the world.

It was impossible for all my class mates to be at A. & M. for some of
them were across the ocean and in Mars. I was very anxious to see them, so I
suggested to Frank that we start early the next morning in his aeroplane and
make them a visit. This just suited him, so the next morning we started on our
flight.

When we had gotten about halfway across the Atlantic, I was so thirsty
that I asked Frank to stop on the floating station and get something to drink.
We had a delicious drink that had been formulated by Ernest Spradlin. Whom
do you suppose we saw there? Nobody but Horace Kidd who was in charge
of the station.

While we were talking to Horace a very large ship stopped and the captain
came up to the little stand to get a drink. You can imagine how surprised I
was when I found that it was no other that Robert Lovvorn.

We soon continued our flight to England where we inquired about Charlie
Frank Williamson, who was a great bass singer at London. They told us that
he had gone to Africa to sing to the heathens, so we turned the aeroplane in
that direction.

After we had gotten to Africa and were looking for a place to land, we
noticed a large crowd of people. We landed, thinking perhaps that Charlie Frank
might be singing to them. But we found that it was not a man singing but a
woman talking. After pushing our way through the crowd, we found that it
was Lucile Jackson. Fler childhood dreams had become real, for she was a
missionary. She told us that Charlie Frank had been there but had just left
the day before for Mars. Determined to see him we started immeliaLely on our
route. When we arrived, we found that he had gone to persuade the great
pianist, Irene Cook, and the great alto singer, Eula Jackson, to come back with
him to London. Their friends hated for them to leave l)ut they finally came with
him to plan their concert trip for the following season.

As I had seen and talked with all my Classmates, Frank brought me back
to my dear home in the Philippines. I started about my work thinking th.it
my class was a very remarkable one.

THE SENIORS OF TWENTY- EIGHT

Up this hard and toilsome highway,
We have struggled four long years.
We have journeyed long and faithful.
Though it sometimes caused us tears.

We have come the way together,
'Till we've almost reached the place
Where a few must part forever,
And forget some classmate's face.

Do not think that we have finished ;
For we'll never reach the end.
We are traveling up life's highway,
And have only reached the bend.

Here the road turns in all directions.
Each must take a different turn ;
Each will choose his own profession,
Each a different trade will learn.

So meet life with all its trials,
With its joys and with its pains.
Let us gi^eet it always smiling,
If it .shines or if it rains.

Place your goal above the others,
Turn toward the very top ;
Though the way be rough and rugged.
Keep on climbing never stop.

When you reacTi your first goal safely,
And you stop for a moments rest ;
Think of the A. & M. days behind.
And they'll stand among the best.

James Jackson.
