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.

WILLIAMSON' Inez Copeland Hal Crowder James Sewell Elsie Strickland Raiford Watkins Leon Wright Henry Luallen Raymon Morgan Buford Phillips Lewis Turner '^ 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. Vkkdik Lonc, Historian. "^ The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight "^ Last Will and Testament State of Georgia, Carroll County, Fourth District A. & M.

"^ The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight ^ 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. Minnie Williamson. '^ The Aggies, Nineteen Twenty-Eight "^ 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.
