Pfaff, CLASS REUNIONS Bell, i 8 Reported in this issue of the AGGIE are three Class Reunions held on the campus at Commence- ment and in connection with the annual Ex-Student meeting. All of the three were ‘successful re- unions but the gathering of mem- bers of the 1917 Class was a stirring affair. Credit for this very successful class reunion can be attributed to the interest of many members of the group. In addition to the officers of the class and the office of the Association, many of the rank and file members of the group worked untiringly to aid in a making the party its genuine suc- cess. Why many men who might easily attend their class reunions fail to do so, is a mystery similar to that of the failure of so many died-in- the-wool and loyal A. & M. men to be active members of the Ex- Student’s Association. The AGGIE has yet to hear a returning class member express any regret at his visit. Perhaps the millenium will arrive some day, with every mem- ber of the reunion classes who can possibly attend, present for the roll-call.
