Some advantages which would be obtained by having chapters of these societies on the campus are that they would give A&M students a definite goal to work toward, that affiliation with a national organi zation would insure a more posi tive prpgram of activity than a local group alone, and that mutual membership in these societies helps to narroiw the faculty-student) gap.

Ay BOB WEYNAND After three years of bleeding, 'sweating and weeping copiously, Aggie Seniors are permitted to work a band of engraved gold over the knuckles of their third fingers. Jt’s more than just a rin$, however! it’s a symbol of determi nation and toil. , The desire for such a symbol to represent A&M was first voiced by (the class of 1894. A committee, under A. C. Jonas,; a member of the class recognized for hiis artistic ability, was appointed by the class to offer suggestions for the design of the ring. design was submitted to “-two members, of the 4, approved, and a con- made with a New York manufacture the! rings, the first consignment of ived from the manufacj class had reason to be* was not as it should be.

In 1934 the state and na tional flags were added as back ground to the crossadl rifle and saber and the seal, and the present crown was added- Ittl 1943 the shield which came iri with the 1934 changes was raised and the ring enlarge]. : || Allin F.

The basic design fe still well embossed on the ring with the ’94 remaining firm des pite the wear of the years. Further assistance in compiling mfbmation was given by Martin Hamilton wbo worked for 14 years for the company making the rings. “No school has stricter require ments for wearing a school ring than A&M,” he says. “Because of these rigid requirements the ring has come to be known as the Senior Ring aid the annual ring dance the symbol of the honor A& M men feel when they have earn ed the privilege of wearing the gold band.” Today Hamilton is a representa tive of L. G. Balfour Co. at the South Gate. Of his association with college rbstijittunilton says, *Tve never knowni * ring to have more tradition than the A&M ring. It is. truly the greatest military ring in April 2 Deadline For Invitations ' June graduates are reminded that graduation invitations must' be ordered before April 2.
